On July 26, 2023, US Congress is holding a UFO hearing that will be attended by three highly credible witnesses addressing the entire world. On this historic day, confirmed whistleblowers David Grusch, David Fravor, and Ryan Graves might reveal never disclosed information about UAPs irrespective of what they said before.
U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer firmly believes that the US government has been concealing evidence of UFOs and indications of non-human intelligence. On July 13, alongside a bipartisan group of senators, he introduced legislation aimed at addressing these concerns and promoting transparency. The legislation defines “non-human intelligence” as any sentient intelligent non-human lifeform, regardless of its nature or origin, which may be linked to UFOs.
“I’m pleased the NDAA will include my amendment on increasing transparency on UAPs or unidentified anomalous phenomena. UAPs generate a lot of curiosity for many Americans, and with that curiosity sometimes comes misinformation,” Senator Schumer asserted.
Schumer stated: “For decades, many Americans have been fascinated by objects mysterious and unexplained, and it’s long past time they get some answers. The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, non-human intelligence, and unexplainable phenomena.”
The essence of the amendment is to require the National Archive and Records Administration to compile records from various government agencies pertaining to UAPs and make them accessible to the public through declassification, adopting a similar approach used in 1992 with the JFK Assassination Records Collection Act.
“These records will carry a presumption of immediate disclosure, which means they can only remain classified with good reason,” Senator Schumer explained, emphasizing the importance of providing the public with access to the information, while ensuring that legitimate national security concerns are still addressed.
Senator Schumer also expressed gratitude to his colleagues, Senators Rounds, Rubio, Heinrich, Gillibrand, and Young, for their cooperation and partnership in working on this legislation. Additionally, he fondly remembered his mentor and late friend Harry Reid, who was also passionate about the issue of UAPs, along with Senators Stevens and Inoue.
Chuck Schumer highlighted the significance of the four key additions to the defense bill, including outcompeting the Chinese government, advancements in artificial intelligence, and the disclosure of information on UAP phenomena in an unclassified manner. These are crucial elements that Senator Schumer believes will strengthen the NDAA.
“I look forward to beginning floor consideration of the NDA bill today,” Schumer said, expressing his anticipation for the bill’s progress. He extended his appreciation to both sides for their collaborative efforts and urged for the passage of this important bill without unnecessary delay or controversy.
_
The proposal comes in the wake of whistleblower David Grusch’s claims that the government has been operating a secret UFO retrieval program. Grusch, an Air Force veteran who worked for the UAP task force, claimed that the government, its allies, and defense contractors have been recovering partial fragments and intact vehicles related to these phenomena for decades.
According to Mr. Grusch, analysis of these objects has revealed their “exotic origin” and suggests the presence of non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or of unknown origin. This determination is based on vehicle morphologies, material science testing, unique atomic arrangements, and radiological signatures.
In response to Grusch’s claims, Senators Marco Rubio and Josh Hawley have both indicated that there might be validity to the idea of a cover-up, based on other testimonies they have heard. Rubio, along with fellow Republican senators Mike Rounds and Todd Young, has expressed support for Senate Schumer’s bill on increasing transparency regarding UAPs. Additionally, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand and Martin Heinrich have also voiced their backing for the proposed legislation.
Note:
The House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs will hold the public hearing at 10:00 am ET (14 UTC). (Link)
About Whistleblowers
1. David Grusch is a former UAP Task Force member and US Air Force veteran. He claims: “UFOs exist. The U.S. government found quite a number of them, and they are indeed of non-human origin.” Mr. Grusch’s assertions are supported by his insider knowledge as a former member of the U.S. government’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena task force and the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency. (Click here to read the full article)
During an interview with journalist Ross Coulthart, Mr. Grusch spoke about the potential cover-up and disinformation campaign surrounding UFOs. He claimed: “There’s a sophisticated disinformation campaign targeting the U.S. populace, which is extremely unethical and immoral.” Mr. Grusch emphasized the significance of his revelations, stating, “I am for real, and I’m sitting here at great personal risk and obvious professional risk by talking to you today.”
“Do we have bodies? Do we have species?” Coulthart asked. “Well, naturally when you recover something that’s either landed or crashed, sometimes you encounter dead pilots.” “And believe it or not, as fantastical as that sounds, it’s true,” Mr. Grusch replied.
According to the French paper le Parisien, Grusch states that the United States and its allies have been involved in secret programs for almost ninety years and reveals that one of the recovered craft was found in Italy in 1933. This UFO crash incident is said to have happened when Italy was under the rule of Fascist Benito Mussolini.
2. Ryan Graves is a former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot, who was the first active duty pilot to come forward publicly about regular sightings of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP). He currently serves as the first Chair of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA) Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena Community of Interest (UAPCOI), representing more than 30,000 members of the aerospace industry concerned with improving aviation safety. (Click here to read the full article)
While speaking about his UFO experience, Lt. Graves told 60 Minutes that he often detected UAP on his F-18’s instruments, and pilots see them every single day off the Atlantic coast. He said UFOs should not be dismissed as a ridiculous conspiracy theory but rather as a very genuine threat to national security. He first saw a UFO in restricted airspace near Virginia Beach in 2014, and the object showed up on his radar and infrared targeting cameras. Furthermore, he said UAPs would sometimes fly right between aircraft flying in formation.
He says the sightings have happened “every day for at least a couple years” and has three explanations: top-secret U.S. technology, foreign spying devices, or something not from this planet. “The highest probability is it’s a threat-observation program,” said the pilot, adding: “If these were tactical jets from another country that were hangin’ out up there, it would be a massive issue. But because it looks slightly different, we’re not willing to actually look at the problem in the face. We’re happy to just ignore the fact that these are out there, watching us every day.”
3. The UFO sighting involving Commander David Fravor took place in 2004 off the coast of California during an F-18 Super Hornet training exercise. The incident began when Fravor and another pilot noticed an unusual radar blip about 80 miles off the coast. As they approached the location, they saw a strange object described as a “white tic-tac” or a “giant propane tank.” The object was about 50 feet above the water and exhibited highly unusual flight characteristics, moving rapidly in all directions like a ping pong ball.
Fravor decided to investigate further and descended towards the object, while the other pilot stayed at a higher altitude. As Fravor closed in on the object, it suddenly accelerated and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving the pilots astonished. The object’s rapid and mysterious disappearance baffled Fravor and his team, leaving them with no plausible explanation for what they had witnessed.
After returning to the carrier, Fravor’s team reported the incident, and the information eventually made its way to the Pentagon, where it crossed the desk of Luis Elizondo, the former director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). AATIP was an investigative body that examined Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs.
The Pentagon declassified three videos related to the incident in 2020, known as the Tic Tac video and two others filmed on the East Coast in January 2015. These videos and similar disclosures from other countries raised questions about the nature of these unidentified objects in our airspace. Both the US and other governments admitted to encountering UAPs that exhibited flight capabilities far beyond our current technological breakthrough. (Source)
In 1948, Dutch geophysicist Felix Andries Vening Meinesz was sailing the planet on a gravity survey when he discovered an anomaly in the Indian Ocean. It was a circular depression in the ocean floor that begins to dip near India’s southern tip and extends 1.2 million square miles. This depression, known as the Indian Ocean geoid low, has baffled scientists since its discovery.
However, a notable finding could explain this geoid low’s existence. Researchers from the Indian Institute of Science in Bengaluru used computer models to determine that plumes of molten rock from deep within Earth may have formed it. They published their findings in the journal Geophysical Research Letters in May.
At the geoid low’s lowest point, where sea level plunges over 328 feet, is a gravity hole where Earth’s gravitational pull is weaker and its mass is lower than normal. In explaining this occurrence, it’s key to remember that while Earth is round, it’s not a perfect sphere. “The Earth is basically a lumpy potato,” study coauthor Attreyee Ghosh, a geophysics professor at the Centre for Earth Sciences of the Indian Institute of Science, told CNN. It’s “what we call an ellipsoid, because as the planet rotates the middle part bulges outward.” Different parts exert different gravitational pull as the mass of our planet’s layers vary.
Using evidence of Earth’s past geological configurations, Ghosh and her team simulated possible ways tectonic plates and magma could have formed this geoid low. They ran 19 simulations from as far back as 140 million years ago up to the present. Six of them rendered the geological phenomenon, and shared a commonality: Hot, anomalous magma plumes fringed the geoid low. The researchers conclude that the presence of this molten rock and the nearby mantle structure ultimately formed the gravity hole. They varied magma density in other trials, and the low never formed in simulations that lacked magma.
Magma viscosity also helped form the low. Even tweaking it a bit prevented the low’s formation. The team found that hot anomalies both in the upper mantle and below 1,000 kilometers into the earth contributed to formation. The magma plumes likely came from an ancient ocean that vanished as present-day India collided with Asia tens of millions of years ago.
"I Can't Believe What I Recorded.." THEY TRIED to Hide This...
Robert Bigelow, real estate tycoon and founder of Bigelow Aerospace, has been a prominent figure in the research of mysterious aircraft. Influenced by a family encounter with an unidentified object near Las Vegas, Bigelow’s interest grew alongside his business wealth.
In 1995, he launched the National Institute for Discovery Science to study paranormal topics and mysterious aircraft. Notably, the institute investigated the enigmatic Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, a property bought by Bigelow due to its reported paranormal activities.
With the support of US Senator Harry Reid in 2007, Bigelow played a role in establishing the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. While its primary focus was on aerospace threats, it also delved into researching mysterious aircraft.

Bigelow has been pivotal in bringing credibility to the field, using his wealth for in-depth research, thereby reducing the associated stigma. He believes in the existence of these mysterious machines, suggesting that their engineering might require a weightless environment. Expressing his belief in an “existing presence,” Bigelow has also partnered with NASA, testing advanced technology for outer space habitation.
In a 60 Minutes interview, he recounted his grandparents’ close encounter with an unidentifiable object that quickly disappeared into the horizon, cementing his lifelong intrigue in the subject.
The Intriguing Mystery of UFO Sightings: An Unforgettable Encounter in Turkey
Are you an avid follower of UFO sightings, constantly questioning the mysterious phenomena in the night sky? Then, brace yourself as we delve into one of the most compelling instances of unexplained aerial occurrences from Turkey – a nation that for millennia, has been a nexus for different cultures and now, possibly, a rendezvous point for interstellar meetings.
In the early morning hours of May 13, 2009, Yulchin Yalman, a night owl from the suburbs of Istanbul, noticed something peculiar hovering above the Sea of Marmara. This was not his first time capturing such incidents, but this time, the encounter was so remarkable that it left the entire UFO community abuzz.
Turkey’s Enigmatic Visitor
The sighting consisted of a silent, saucer-shaped craft hovering approximately a mile away and 500 feet above the sea. What really captured the attention of UFO enthusiasts, however, was the supposed glimpse inside the cockpit of the craft. Yalman claimed that what looked like two extraterrestrial beings could be seen at the helm of the unworldly vessel. It wasn’t just a mere UFO sighting; it was an alleged first-hand account of alien life!
Despite Turkey’s long history of skyward anomalies, including a molten silver object witnessed by Greek and Roman armies in 74 BC, the 2009 incident holds a unique position. The Turkish government has given it serious consideration, declaring the sighting as genuine and unaffiliated with any military programs.
When it comes to UFO sightings, analysis is crucial. Forensic video investigator Michael Primo noted that there was no evidence to suggest the footage was manipulated, but could not confirm the presence of extraterrestrial life. Other experts, like astronomer and video effects designer Mark D’Antonio, doubted the possibility of seeing entities inside the craft due to the limitations of 2009 camera technology.
One aviation expert even suggested the sighting could be an optical illusion caused by fishing vessels on the horizon, known as a “Fata Morgana.” But this theory was met with skepticism, as the phenomena typically occur lower on the horizon than where Yalman’s camera was pointed.

The consensus? This UFO sighting from Turkey is indeed a genuine unknown. While experts agree the figures seen inside the craft are likely not alien pilots, the object itself remains unidentifiable. Until we gather more definitive evidence, the 2009 UFO sighting over the Sea of Marmara will continue to perplex and intrigue us.
In conclusion, the increasing number of UFO sightings worldwide only adds to our curiosity about what lies beyond our atmosphere. As we delve deeper into the age of space exploration, the story of Yulchin Yalman and his intriguing UFO sighting reminds us that sometimes, the answers might just be looking down on us from the night sky.
Whether you’re a UFO enthusiast or a casual observer, keep your eyes on the sky – the next big sighting might just be around the corner!
In a monumental stride towards unraveling the enigmatic world of unidentified anomalous phenomena, the U.S Congress is set to illuminate the uncertainties encompassing Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). In a first, the American political sphere takes a significant leap into a domain that has often been relegated to the peripheries of mainstream discourse, affirming that we are on the cusp of a significant moment in the study of unexplained aerial occurrences.
Since time immemorial, humans have been fascinated and intrigued by strange sightings in the sky, leading to the age-old existential question, “Are we alone?” The sightings, often enigmatic and hard to decipher, have sparked endless debates and theorizing. However, the House Oversight Committee’s upcoming public hearing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) could potentially bring this marginalized topic to the forefront of contemporary conversations.
The hearing is not merely a symbolic event; it is a testament to the growing bipartisan drive for greater transparency on this matter. American politicians argue that defense officials have been non-cooperative, impeding their quest for answers. It is in this political landscape that investigative reporter Ross Kultart, an expert on UAPs, will participate, bolstering the call for uncovering the truth behind these skyward enigmas.
The Significance of the Investigation
This momentous hearing marks a breakthrough in U.S Congress’s approach to UAPs. It represents the first congressional inquiry into UAPs in more than half a century. Adding to the intrigue is the participation of a highly experienced former intelligence officer, David Grush. Having served at the National Reconnaissance Office and America’s National Geospatial Agency, Grush holds an insider’s perspective on the topic at hand.
Grush’s assertions are extraordinary. His investigative work within the Pentagon has led him to believe in the existence of a non-human intelligence engaging with our planet. His claims include the recovery of non-human technology, or to put it bluntly, alien artifacts, and bodies. His bold assertions are set to be part of the upcoming hearing, thus marking a new milestone in the search for the truth behind UAPs.
You’ll be able to watch Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs Hearing in the player below!
The Future Unfolds
While it’s not yet clear how this hearing will investigate Grush’s claims, the potential impact on the UFO research community is undeniable. The involvement of Senator Chuck Schumer, the Senate majority leader, could be a game-changer. Schumer has proposed an amendment to the defense appropriations, requiring the Pentagon, intelligence community, and private aerospace companies suspected of possessing non-human technology or bodies to reveal their holdings.
As this drama unfolds in the hallowed halls of Congress, one thing is clear – this could be a turning point. The bipartisan commitment to reveal the truth, the anticipation of expert testimonials under oath, and the potential for an unprecedented revelation suggest that we are on the brink of an astonishing disclosure.
The upcoming hearing is likely to change our understanding of UFOs and our place in the universe. As we stand on the precipice of potential discovery, this could well be the time when we, as a species, gain a clearer answer to the timeless question, “Are we alone?” Only time will tell, but as it stands, we are undoubtedly on the verge of a revolutionary moment in human history.

Security cam caught weird UFO flying through the night sky over Kingsburg, California
A few days ago, on Wednesday night around 10:09 p.m. the backyard security camera of a Kingsburg resident captured a weird looking object, what the resident described as an unusual strange light that started zigging and zagging on its trajectory.
The cam owner wonders if it could be aliens or something else, but some viewers have suggested that it might be a digital artifact, a glitch in the camera or recording process that creates the optical illusion of an object with unusual characteristics, though not everyone is convinced it may have been a camera glitch.
The sighting in Kingsburg California is indeed quite intriguing due to the unique appearance of the object, with a glowing front and what seems like an aura. The mystery deepens as much of the anomaly is shrouded by what appears to resemble a dark plasma cloud.
It is hard to explain what the object could have been, maybe a UFO or otherworld entity? But as the cam owner said: "It's something, something different that I've ever seen."
Watch the Unprecedented UFO Hearing This Week: US Government Takes Center Stage
The Daylight of Disclosure: Upcoming Historic UFO Hearing Seeks to Unveil the Truth
As we continue our pursuit of knowledge and truth, we often stumble upon topics that challenge our perception of reality. One such topic that’s been dominating discussions of late is the existence of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), commonly known as UFOs. In a significant move this week, the US government is stepping into the spotlight to bring forth some credible insight on this enigma.
The House of Representatives is holding a unique and historically significant hearing on July 26, centered around the unexplained and unidentified aerial occurrences. With the promise of revelations from insiders, this hearing aims to shed light on what many believe is an enduring, yet heavily cloaked reality.
This exceptional public discourse will focus on the testimonies of three key witnesses, who have had interactions with the unexplained phenomena or possess insider knowledge of the subject. As the world turns its attention to this event, we will hear from individuals who hail from various corners of the U.S. military and intelligence community. Their testimonies may reveal encounters with objects that challenge our understanding of physics and known flight capabilities, with some even suggesting evidence of ‘non-human intelligence.
The hearing will be broadcasted live on YouTube, granting the public a rare insight into a topic often considered taboo or controversial. It’s an unmissable event for anyone intrigued by these anomalies, starting at 10 a.m. EDT.
Among those stepping into the witness box will be two former U.S. Navy aviators, Ryan Graves and David Fravor. These two individuals have previously made headlines with their encounters with unconventional aircraft operating within U.S. military airspace. Alongside them, David Grusch, a veteran of the Pentagon’s intelligence community, will add his voice to the conversation. Grusch has made claims about receiving classified information regarding covert programs and the existence of non-human craft, raising eyebrows and sparking intrigue across major news outlets and the political sphere.
Furthermore, some U.S. Congress members seem to be hinting at the presence of concealed UFO/UAP knowledge. As stated by Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.), a longstanding commitment to uncover the truth is at play: “The Pentagon and Washington bureaucrats have kept this information hidden for decades, and we’re finally going to shed some light on it,” he said.
These testimonies present a compelling case for heightened scientific scrutiny and analysis. Ryan Graves, vocal about airspace safety, emphasizes that these unidentified phenomena pose an “urgent and critical national security issue.” If these are indeed foreign assets, it necessitates an appropriate response. And if they continue to challenge conventional explanations, it calls for increased investment in scientific research.
This upcoming hearing is but the latest development in an ongoing saga regarding UFOs/UAP and the role of the U.S. government. Almost a year ago, the U.S. Department of Defense established the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), a body devoted to collecting and analyzing all available data relating to UFOs within the military and intelligence community.
Despite earlier claims from the director of AARO that there is “no credible evidence of extraterrestrial activity,” the impending testimonies from the upcoming hearing stand in stark contrast.
NASA is also joining the conversation, having recently held a public meeting of its independent UAP study group. A report from this group is eagerly awaited.
As we approach this monumental hearing, we stand at the threshold of new understandings and possibly, new realities. As the truth unfurls, one thing is for sure: the world is watching, waiting with bated breath for what’s to come.
Stanley Kubrick’s Unseen Magnum Opus: The Deception of a Moon Landing | Unraveling NASA’s Hollywood Illusion
When science, skepticism, and conspiracy theories collide
The iconic moon landing on July 20, 1969, by the American Apollo 11 mission, is undoubtedly one of humankind’s most astonishing achievements. Despite this, a persistent school of thought questions the authenticity of this feat, arguing it was an elaborate hoax orchestrated by NASA to outdo its Cold War adversary, the Soviet Union.
While these conspiracy theories have intrigued many over the years, a careful, scientific scrutiny of these claims paints a vastly different picture. Here, we delve into the core arguments put forth by the moon landing skeptics and evaluate them against solid scientific reasoning.
The Shadow Conundrum
One of the primary arguments skeptics present is the incongruity in the shadows observed in the photographs from the lunar surface. The theory suggests that since the shadows are not parallel, there must have been additional light sources, indicating a staged setting.
This belief, however, overlooks the nature of perspective and the properties of light. In reality, shadows are not inherently parallel. The direction of a shadow depends on the viewer’s perspective. A simple Earth-based example could be a set of parallel lines on the ground appearing to converge at a distance due to perspective. Furthermore, wide-angle lenses used by the astronauts to capture the vast lunar terrain inevitably distort the images, contributing to the perceived shadow anomalies.
The Missing Stars in the Photos
Another frequently raised point is the apparent absence of stars in the photographs taken from the moon. Skeptics argue that this anomaly indicates a fabricated backdrop used for the staged landing. However, the absence of stars in these pictures is a simple consequence of photographic settings used during the lunar mission.
To capture the lunar surface without washing out details due to the moon’s extreme brightness, the camera’s iris had to be almost entirely closed, and the shutter speed was significantly increased. This setting allowed as little light as possible into the camera, thereby rendering the comparatively faint stars invisible in the photographs.
The Lunar Module and Lack of a Blast Crater
Critics often question the absence of a blast crater underneath the lunar module. In actuality, there is a very straightforward explanation. The module’s engine was switched off about 10 feet from the surface, and it dropped the rest of the way. With no wind on the moon’s surface to disturb it, the dust wouldn’t be flying around, and hence no pronounced crater would form.
The Apollo 11 Sweater and Kubrick Conspiracy
One of the most captivating aspects of the moon landing conspiracy revolves around acclaimed filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. A theory proposed in the documentary “Kubrick’s Odyssey” posits that Kubrick was enlisted by NASA to film a fake moon landing. This belief gained traction from a video of an alleged confession from Kubrick, which, however, turned out to be a hoax.
In reality, Stanley Kubrick was a self-confessed ‘space nut’ who had a keen interest in the Apollo program and science fiction. Coincidences such as the Apollo 11 sweater worn by a character in his film, “The Shining,” have often been misinterpreted as hidden messages confirming his involvement in the alleged hoax.
While these scientific explanations provide rational answers to the moon landing conspiracy theories, it’s vital to remember the critical role of skepticism in scientific inquiry. Skepticism encourages us to question and explore, driving us to uncover truths and dispel fallacies.
Even as we commemorate the incredible achievement of the Apollo 11 mission, we must continue to question, investigate, and strive for knowledge. After all, every question asked, every mystery probed, brings us one step closer to understanding our universe better.
The chorus of voices calling for the U.S. government to spill the beans on possible alien visitation of Earth is louder than ever. But are we ready for such a revelation?

If you follow the complex and perplexing world of unidentified flying objects, now tied to the term unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, then you're aware that we may be inching toward "full disclosure."
What that means is uncorking the bottle filled to the brim with an elixir of truth, say disclosure activists, that Earth has been on the receiving end of exotic craft of off-world origin. Even more, there are allegations of a covert U.S. government reverse engineering program set up to essentially write an operators manual on how these alleged anomalous vehicles function.
The drumbeat that the U.S. government is ready to spill the beans on possible alien guests to Earth is louder than ever. But whether it's next week, next year or next decade, what are the social consequences of first contact? Or, at least some outing of historical records documenting evidence of visitors from afar? Are we ready for such a revelation? There appears to be debate on what the ripple effects might be.
According to one recent public poll, a majority of those sampled believe the government may be covering up the truth about UFOs.
Other polls have found that most Americans believe in intelligent life beyond Earth. Indeed, poll data shows an uptick in thinking over the years that there is an off-Earth population of aliens frolicking about out there in the extraterrestrial ether.
But given the specter of full disclosure, are we ready for full-body-contact?
Better data needed
"Quite a bit of work has been done on the societal impact of discovering radio signals from extraterrestrials beaming a message from a planet circling a distant star," said Steven Dick an American astronomer and author noted for his work in the field of astrobiology.
"But that is very different from the consequences if they are actually here in the form of UFOs or UAPs. Science fiction tends toward the dramatic," Dick told Space.com.
"I find it unlikely that the U.S. Government could keep a secret of this magnitude for this long. I am all for studying the anomalous phenomena of UFOs/UAPs. But I am not convinced by the blurry Navy videos that these are spacecraft piloted by ET, or even ET-related artificial intelligence. We need better data," Dick advised.
The need for better UAP data was a key theme of a meeting of NASA's UAP independent study group held on May 31, 2023 at the agency's headquarters in Washington, D.C.

Worldviews would change
In Dick's opinion, disastrous first contact events with uncontacted cultures are not necessarily the best analogies. There are plenty of beneficial intercultural contacts throughout history, he said, such as trade relations going back to ancient times even beyond the Bronze Age.
"Whether contact is direct or remote and assuming we survive direct contact, I would say what is certain is that our philosophical and theological worldviews would change," said Dick. "We should not expect extraterrestrials to solve all our problems, but the interchange of information would be very interesting!"
As for the question: Are we ready?
"Probably not," Dick said, "but new fields of study like 'astrotheology' and 'astroethics' are laying out the options. There is some consensus that religions will survive, but in greatly altered form to take into account that we are not the moral center of the universe or the most intelligent beings. Some religions will be more adaptable than others," he said.
Copernican moment
John Elliott is coordinator of the SETI Post Detection Hub within the School of Computer Science at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
Elliott sees the societal impact of discovering extraterrestrial life as a profound "Copernican type" moment for humankind. "The impact is likely to be proportionate to its proximity to us and whether it is intelligent or not. It will be the confirmation that we are not the only life in the universe, and our perceived central 'importance' will receive a significant shift in perspective," he said.

Also, such a discovery will indicate that life is probably common throughout the universe, Elliott said. "To what extent extraterrestrial life is intelligent or has preceded us or is now extinct are other questions. Preparation for such an event is therefore not planning for just one possible scenario but many," he said.
SETI post detection is "probably one of the most multi-disciplinary endeavors humanity has ever undertaken," Elliott added, "not only for assessing the evidence discovered, but also for considering the human social response, impact strategies and protocols."
Elliott said that the hub's primary role at the university is to serve as a dedicated international "home" for facilitating and coordinating research into a coherent post-detection framework, to work on topics ranging from message decipherment and data analytics to development of regulatory protocols, space law and societal impact strategies, "a project that will be ever evolving," he noted.
Imminent disclosure
"The refrain that full disclosure is imminent is one that has been voiced since almost the very start of the flying saucer era in 1947," observed Greg Eghigian, a professor of history and bioethics at Pennsylvania State University. He is author of a forthcoming book on the history of UFOs in the United States.
Eghigian told Space.com that, despite the fact that various states — including the U.S. and the United Kingdom — have released a huge number of classified documents over the years, "it has never satisfied some who will only be content if governments demonstrate that they are withholding information about the extraterrestrial origins of UFOs."
Based on the past, Eghigian said there is little reason to suspect things will be playing out any differently now.
On the topic of "are we ready for revelation," the scenario of actual alien intelligence contact/confirmation is not in fact one scenario but rather multiple scenarios.
"Such an event could play out in any variety of ways — from astronomical observations of what appear to be signs of a once existent technologically advanced civilization to the discovery of alien artifacts in space to visitors appearing here on Earth," Eghigian said.
"Every scenario would likely have considerably different consequences, many of which I suspect would not have much of an effect on most people's lives," Eghigian concluded.

On July 28, 2011, former astronaut and scientist Brian O’Leary passed away shortly after making a big statement. When the United States space agency NASA selected its sixth group of astronauts in August 1967, he was selected to be a member of that group. O’Leary had been a member of Princeton University’s physics faculty for many years. According to him, there is substantial evidence indicating that Earth is being visited by extraterrestrial beings. He claimed that advanced civilizations arrived on earth a very long time ago and that these civilizations employ technology that are founded on consciousness.
“There is much evidence that we have been contacted by aliens, and that these civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time, their appearance may be bizarre from any traditional Western materialistic point of view. These visitors use consciousness-influencing technologies – the toroid and use co-rotating magnetic disks for their propulsion systems, which appear to be the common denominator of the UFO phenomenon,”— Dr. Brian O’Leary on Thrive Movement
Dr. Brian O’Leary was born on January 27, 1940. Unfortunately, he was diagnosed with intestinal cancer and died of a heart attack. In August 1967, he was one of the astronauts chosen by NASA to participate in the sixth group of astronauts. The people that made up this team were commonly referred to as the scientist-astronauts. Dr. O’Leary attended Williams College and earned a bachelor of arts degree in physics in 1961. He then attended the University of California at Berkeley and earned a doctor of philosophy degree in astronomy in 1967.

He was a fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science and secretary of the Planetology Section of the American Geophysical Union. In addition, he led the Asteroidal Resources Group for the NASA Ames Summer Study on Space Settlements. He was a founding board member of the International Association for New Science and the New Energy Movement’s first president. He was a fellow at the World Innovation Foundation and a Princeton University physics professor.
After O’Leary quit NASA, Carl Sagan invited him to lecture at Cornell University in 1968. He stayed there as an astronomy research associate from 1968 to 1969 and as an assistant professor from 1969 to 1971. He looked into lunar mascons while he was at Cornell. During the 1970–1971 academic year, O’Leary worked as a visiting researcher at the California Institute of Technology. He was the deputy team leader of the Mariner 10 Venus-Mercury TV Science Team. NASA recognized the team’s efforts by presenting them with a group accomplishment award.
During a live interview with Kerry Cassidy of Project Camelot, he shared some fascinating insights regarding Carl Sagan. O’Leary and Sagan had been friends for a number of years, but when O’Leary decided to leave Cornell, they had a falling out. (Source)
Following his departure, O’Leary began to explore some of Carl’s work. He claimed that the iconic “Face” at Cydonia on Mars, which was photographed by Viking in 1975 and resembled a human face, was altered by Sagan before being released to the public: “It was very, very disappointing to me, because not only was Carl wrong, he also fudged data. He published a picture of the ‘Face’ in Parade Magazine, a popular article, saying that the ‘Face’ was just a natural formation, but he doctored the picture to make it not look like a face.”
In May 1990, O’Leary released a paper titled “Analysis of Images of the Face on Mars and Possible Intelligent Origin,” which only further demonstrated his skepticism. It was published in the Journal of the British Interplanetary Society, Vol.43 No.5. O’Leary also went on the record and stated:
“I began to realize, just directly from the scientific point of view, not only hearsay, that this man was colluding with NASA, that there might be more to this than before… Carl was on a committee with a number of notable people. There was a report issued by the Brookings Institution in 1961 — and that’s about when I knew Carl, during those years; the ’60s mostly was when I worked closely with him — that he and this other group said: Well, if any ETs ever showed up on the Earth, it has to be covered up. That’s the only way we’re going to be able to manage this, because if we can’t, then it would be too much of a culture shock.”
On the 18th of September, 1994, Dr. O’Leary said during the International Forum on New Science in Fort Collins in Colorado: “A secret group within the U.S. government keeps the masses for nearly 50 years away at about UFOs and extraterrestrial contact. We have contact with extraterrestrial civilizations. This information is probably obscured by an elite group within the CIA, NSA and DIA. This small group knows well the secrets to keep. Watergate and the Iran-Contra affair are child compared to this cosmic Watergate about UFOs, aliens, mind control, genetic engineering, free energy and antigravity.”
O’Leary suggested not only the existence of an extraterrestrial presence on Earth, but also the existence of a face on Mars. He also penned the introduction to Steven Greer’s book Hidden Truth, Forbidden Knowledge. The book is about repressed alien technologies such as free energy, anti-gravity, and extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
“There is a serious possibility that we are being visited and have been visited for many years by people from outer space, by other civilizations. Who they are, where they are from, and what they want should be the subject of rigorous scientific investigation and not be the subject of ‘rubishing’ by tabloid newspapers.” (source)

“Intelligent beings from other star systems have been and are visiting our planet Earth. They are variously referred to as Visitors, Others, Star People, Et’s, etc…They are visiting Earth now; this is not a matter of conjecture or wistful thinking.

“Aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government. Decades ago, visitors from other plants warned us about where we were headed and offered to help. But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot first and ask questions after…Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.”

My people tell of Star People who came to us many generations ago. The Star people brought spiritual teachings and stories and maps of the cosmos and they offered these freely. They were kind, loving, and set a great example. When they left us, my people say there was a loneliness like no other.”
Until recently, Mercury seemed to be the only planet in our Solar System without aurorae, those streams of light that appear on Earth in the polar skies when solar wind bombards the upper atmosphere with electrons.
Mercury has no atmosphere for an aurora to appear in, after all, just a thin layer of atoms blasted free of its surface by meteoroids and solar wind. According to a recent study of data from the BepiColombo mission, Mercury has x-ray aurorae that make the ground itself glow with invisible light. As strange as the phenomenon is, though, JAXA planetary scientist Sae Aizawa and her colleagues say it’s caused by the same physics that create the familiar Northern Lights here on Earth.
If our eyes could see x-ray light, this is what Mercury’s eerie aurora might look like.

While BepiColombo (a joint mission of the European Space Agency and the Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency) swept past Mercury for the first in October 2021, its instruments were busy mapping Mercury’s magnetic field, as well as tracking the movements of electrons close to the planet.
Mercury gets bombarded by relentless solar wind, so the area of space around the planet is swarming with charged particles, mostly electrons. And when Aizawa and her colleagues examined the data from BepiColombo’s first flyby, they noticed that those electrons tend to get caught in Mercury’s magnetic field, which speeds the particles along magnetic field lines toward the planet’s poles. At the poles, electrons fall to the planet’s surface.
The same thing happens in Earth’s magnetic field, except that the charged particles have a whole atmosphere to fall through. On the way down, the electrons bump into atoms (our atmosphere is so full of atoms), and those collisions release energy, producing the Northern and Southern Lights. However, on airless Mercury, the electrons plummet straight to the ground. And that’s where it gets bizarre.
When electrons from solar wind, accelerated by Mercury’s magnetic field, rain down on the barren ground near the planet’s poles, minerals in the ground react by fluorescing, or emitting x-rays. The result is an invisible X-ray aurora blazing up from below, not shining down from above.
How flipping goth is that?
According to Aizawa and her colleagues, Mercury’s weird aurorae actually prove that the phenomenon works the same way on every planet in our Solar System (and almost certainly in other star systems, too).
Mars, for example, doesn’t have a proper, planet-spanning magnetic field, but patches of its crust contain rich veins of magnetic minerals, which sometimes they produce their own hyperlocal light shows. The electrons that bombard Jupiter’s stormy atmosphere mostly come from its volcanic disaster moon Io, rather than from solar wind, but the process that leads to aurorae is still the same (and Jupiter also has X-ray aurorae).
The basic mechanics that make x-rays dance across Mercury’s polar surface also light up the polar skies here on Earth — and on every other planet in the Solar System, plus at least one comet. Sometimes the results are just extremely weird.
Astronomers have found a galaxy that shouldn’t exist — one without dark matter.
Enormous galaxy NGC 1277 was supposed to help Sebastién Comerón of the University of La Laguna and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias learn more about how galaxies evolved in the universe’s distant past, but instead, it threw them a new puzzle. NGC 1277 doesn’t seem to contain any dark matter, the invisible but influential stuff that outweighs the visible universe by almost six to one.
Comerón and his colleagues need to confirm their findings with further observations, but if they’re right, NGC 1277 could be a challenge to our best model of how the universe works — and to at least one of the alternatives.
“This result does not fit in with the currently accepted cosmological models, which include dark matter,” says Comerón in a recent statement. He and his colleagues published their findings in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
THE CASE OF THE MISSING DARK MATTER
Only a tiny fraction of the universe consists of the stuff we can actually see: gas, dust, planets, stars, and galaxies. Another 27 percent or so is dark matter, which doesn’t seem to interact with ordinary matter or energy at all except for its gravitational pull. The rest is dark energy (but that’s a whole different article).
The short version is that most of the mass of the universe is stuff we can’t see, but its gravitational pull plays a key role in sculpting the parts we can see. Or at least, that seems to be the case everywhere except in a huge, lens-shaped galaxy called NGC 1277. Comerón and his colleagues recently mapped the motion of stars, gas, and dust in the galaxy, expecting to find some clues about how large galaxies formed in the early universe. Instead, they found a cosmic mystery.
NGC 1277 is what’s called a relic galaxy. Its stars formed around 12 billion years ago, and somehow, in all that time, it’s managed not to bump into any of its neighbors in the Perseus Cluster. It’s the cosmic version of a well-preserved, undisturbed archaeological site.
“The importance of relic galaxies in helping us to understand how the first galaxies formed was the reason we decided to observe NGC 1277,” says Comerón.
NGC 1277 is 220 million light years away in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster. Its oldest stars formed around 12 billion years ago, making it a relic of galaxy formation in the early universe.
ESA-HUBBLE
In most galaxies, it’s clear that the motion of the stars is guided by an unseen hand (the gravitational pull of dark matter). But in NGC 1277, the stars and other matter in the galaxy seemed to be moving only under the gravitational influence of the stars. (The fact that matter in other galaxies seemed to move as if it was being pulled by the gravity of something unseen is what first clued astrophysicists in to the existence of dark matter).
Based on Comerón and his colleagues’ observations, if this venerable galaxy contains any dark matter all, it accounts for less than 5 percent of the galaxy’s mass. And that is, to put it in technical terms, super weird.
WHAT HAPPENS NOW?
Based on the standard model of how the universe works (aptly named the Standard Cosmological Model), a galaxy the size of NGC 1277 should have enough dark matter to make up between 10 and 70 percent of its mass.
“The discrepancy between the observations and what we would expect is a puzzle and maybe even a challenge for the standard model,” says coauthor Ignacio Trujillo, also of IAC and ULL, in a statement.
And in a fun paradox, the apparent lack of dark matter in NGC 1277 may also offer some evidence against an alternative to dark matter: an attempt to explain what we see in the universe without invoking invisible, untouchable matter. The idea is that gravity may just work differently on very large scales, like the structure of massive galaxies and galaxy cluster, than it does at smaller scales like solar systems. If that’s the case, though, gravity should still work the same way in every large galaxy. An exception like NGC 1277 could refute the whole idea, so we’re back to dark matter – and the puzzle of why it’s missing from one galaxy.
Comerón and his colleagues plan to take a second look at NGC 1277 with the William Herschel Telescope on the island of La Palma, which they hope will shed more light on the missing dark matter.
In December 2020, Haim Eshed, a retired Israeli general and former head of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s space directorate gained attention for making controversial claims about extraterrestrial life and alleged secret collaborations between humans and aliens. He stated that aliens and the U.S. government had reached some type of deal to stay quiet about their experiments on Earth and secret facilities on Mars.
In his claims, Mr. Eshed said ETs exist and monitor our nuclear capabilities. There is a “Galactic Federation,” and the alien species with whom humanity will contact is “Grey.” According to him, Earth is their Petri dish, and they are also trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe. He further stated that some of the smaller UFOs are robots/AI, consciousness is present after death, and humans have anti-gravity technology but it is still classified.
The above-mentioned information was shared by Mr. Eshed in his book “The Universe Beyond the Horizon,” published in November 2020 and discussed in his interview with Israel’s daily newspaper “Yedioth Aharonot.” He had been a director of space programs for the Israel Ministry of Defense for nearly 30 years, is a former chair of the Space Committee of the National Council for Research and Development for the Ministry of Science, Technology, and Space, and is a member of the steering committee of Israel Space Agency. He is responsible for the launch of 20 Israeli-made satellites and is widely cited as the father of Israel’s space program. (Source)
Israel’s former space head Haim Eshed
In the book, Eshed makes implausible claims that include stories of how aliens prevented potential nuclear disasters, including an unspecified nuclear incident during the Bay of Pigs Invasion. Below is the English translation of his interview titled “The UFOs asked not to advertise that they are here, humanity is not yet ready,” where he also discussed the Skinwalker Ranch and alleged contact between aliens and US presidents.
Until recently, Eshed actually managed to hold back, but then Trump officially established the “Space Force”, and the press was given an announcement that the Pentagon’s Task Force for Unidentified Aerial Phenomena” would begin publishing its findings to the public every six months. At the same time, the “Skinwalker” cattle ranch of the American billionaire Robert Bigelow in Utah – a place that was previously suspected to be a favorite destination for extraterrestrials – recorded some things that no amount of popcorn in the world would be enough to watch.
“Unidentified phenomena have now been recorded at this farm,” said Eshed. “A team of scientists from NASA and MIT graduates brought all possible instruments there – cameras, spectrometers, spectrographs, gamma-rays, X-rays, UV, IR, all fields, and they saw things that I was left with my mouth open. I spoke with Prof. Isaac Ben-Israel (currently the chairman of the Space Agency) who was also thrilled.”
What did they see there?
“You know the term portal in this context? So you see a UFO appear there – you photograph it in the entire spectrum of the cameras, you see the radiation in all frequencies, it’s raging!”
Could not it be some familiar aircraft?
“No! It shows definite signs of UFOs: crazy accelerations, lack of gravity, 90-degree changes of direction at tremendous speeds, shape-shifting. And all the scientists there are in complete shock.”
And what is the UFO doing?
“ You see the radiation jump, and you see how a shape-changing body arrives, light comes out of it at a frequency that you cannot see with the naked eye – in fact, you do not see anything when you look normally – but with the cameras, at the high frequencies, you see this body perform” Kill from utilization’ – drawing blood from the cattle on the ground in front of your eyes.”
What exactly did they see?
“Something like a cloud like that. Like you draw a ghost for children. It’s like an undefined cloud, amorphous, and the horns come out of it, and you see the cow twitching. And when it’s over, everyone runs to the field to see, and there’s nothing there, no blood – but the cow’s body has a cut which is like with a laser. They removed its organs and pumped the blood! If they had told me that, I would have said: Shit, it’s a show. But professors from MIT and leading researchers have seen and confirmed it, and everyone is shocked. So listen, we have to at least check.”
Why does not Robert Bigelow himself tell about it?
“He received huge funding from NASA as part of programs that my friends there only mumble about under their breath, and he made a written commitment that everything goes to the Pentagon and is housed there. It upsets him that the Ministry of Defense is not ready to release anything.”
…American presidents also testified to this. Truman admitted seeing a whole bunch of aliens over Washington. Nixon, who was a friend of comedian Jackie Gleason and knew he was crazy about UFOs, told him, ‘I’m going to make your life’s dream come true,’ and took him to the White Patterson base and showed him alien bodies. Gleason got depressed about it. Eisenhower’s granddaughter testified that her grandfather had signed an agreement with the aliens, that they would have a secret landing base here in Area 51 in Nevada, that they could come in contact with a small number of people, conduct experiments, and that the condition was that they provide us with technologies — for example, anti-gravity.
Yes. We have anti-gravity and other things. So why are they hiding from us and how can all the governments and armies in the world be able to cooperate in concealment of this magnitude? Not “all the world governments”. There is a group of partners – the Americans, the Russians, the Japanese, the English, and the Chinese – all coordinated at a level that is still not allowed to publish, and those who asked not to publish it are them.
Who are “them”?
The Galactic Federation. Is there such a thing? It exists. I wrote about it even though it was perceived as a conspiracy theory, but lately former senior generals are also saying to publish [sic], and Trump was on the verge of finding out, and a few mainstream professors are also saying: guys, tell us. But the aliens in the federation say: wait, let the spirits calm down first, do not publish yet because look what’s happening. You’re still fighting each other, you’ll destroy yourself.
Why not come and talk to us directly?
Because it will create panic and collapse humanity. What will happen? The markets will collapse, there will be nothing to eat, people will become cannibals, hospitals will be shut down, all the dark passions will come out, it may be the end – and they are not interested in it. On the contrary, they are constantly keeping track – and there are a lot of reports about it – the nuclear events in the world, they are monitoring all the stations and nuclear weapons bases – I am willing to give you all the things in writing [sic] – and there have been things they have prevented. Know that it is not just luck that the Russians in the Bay of Pigs did not use nuclear weapons against the Americans. Someone neutralized it. Without them I have no doubt that humanity would have already destroyed itself. They want to say to humanity: children, calm down!
Why not make contact when their intentions are peaceful and say so explicitly?
The UFOs have asked not to publish that they are here, humanity is not ready yet. There will be a great rampage of everyone, and what the Inquisition did to guys like Galileo and Copernicus will return. They want to make us sane and understand first. In general, what are space and spacecraft – think, in World War I we did not even have planes – and they do not want mass hysteria here, with the best example being what happened in 1938, with Orson Welles’ World of Wars show, and the police collapsed and everything exploded And what they say is: first of all let’s stand, that the stock markets will not fall, that there will be no rampage, that humanity will calm down a little.
Are we in communication with them regarding the date of publication?
There is an agreement between the U.S. government and aliens – I can not prove it, I understand it sounds like a conspiracy theory – but the understanding is that the Galactic Federation has nine elements of advanced aliens of various kinds, who signed a contract with us to do experiments here.
What interest do they have in us?
There are all kinds of resources here. There is water here in quantities that are not found nowhere else, there is all kinds of vegetation, all kinds of animals, the ocean.
But for an intelligent species more developed than us, how are we useful to them?
We are their petri dish. They too are researching and trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe, and they want us as helpers. To date the petri dish has not been stabilized – but it is estimated that we are reaching this stage: religion is accepting their existence – the Vatican has already announced that it wants to baptize them; the UN has appointed an ambassador for foreign affairs (Molan Othman); the corona calmed everything and brought us closer to them.
Come on, in the present age there is no way such a thing would have been kept secret. How many years have they kept a secret that the earth is not the center of the universe? 1,500 years. Or the ‘Manhattan Project’ (US atomic bomb project)? Do you know how many people worked there? 150 thousand people. How many knew what it was? Three. So if you want to keep such a thing a secret, you can. And there is a terrible, obsessive system of silence, of the Americans, who have decided, under the guidance of the aliens, who are not yet publishing. Robert Bigelow also said: I can not publish the films.
How many life forms are there in space?
There are thousands of stars with conditions similar enough to ours, and serious scientists have identified and documented dozens of life forms – even though the mainstream does not accept it. The closest to us are what we call the ‘grays’, which are gray creatures with large eyes with them.
Where are they in geographic relation to us?
Supposedly some came from the Pleiades, planets that have living conditions we know of – we can not get there, but they can get to us because they are much more advanced. Where else in the neighborhood is there life? “There is an underground base on Mars. There are their representatives there as well as our American astronauts.” How do we know that? “Do you want articles? There are. But science, so far, doesn’t want to hear.”
What does their craft look like?
The big spacecraft is almost the size of a small town. Small spaceships come out of it – most of them robotic, manned by intelligent robots. At first, they will send such robots, primitive to them, or a message we will have to decipher.
To reach us they need to move at least at the speed of light. What is their propulsion method – rocket? Nuclear? No. They have a method of producing a bubble that neutralizes time-space, and the tool does not move – space moves, and this is consistent with general relativity. Take for example an ant that wants to get from one end of a page to the other. Now let’s say I folded the page in half – it moves to its other side in a second. That’s how you fold time-space as well.
What do they use to move time-space?
This is a bit of complex physics; motion is based on dark energy – 25 percent of the universe is dark matter – which allows time-space to be distorted and reach other galaxies in no time. You can create a tiny black hole – that, by the way, is what you do with a particle accelerator in Switzerland – that sucks stars out quickly and spits them out. These are technologies that sound like science fiction but we are at the threshold.
And what will happen when they come to us?
Humanity will connect to the fabric of the universe, and once we connect, our science will leap in thousands of years, we will be capable of anti-gravity, we will move between star systems, religion will lose the control it has today – aliens do not believe in religion, they believe in deciphering the fabric of the universe, which is not God, it is math.
Tell me, why are they always described as relatively short creatures, with long necks and big heads?
This is exactly the way the immediate human imagination will see them. No. They have all kinds of shapes – they are a function of the star around which they cluster, and some of them can shapeshift.
Is it biologically feasible?
Yes. Here is an example that you will understand immediately [Eshed points to the heavy wooden table between us]. It’s a table, right? It’s made of atoms. And if the nucleus of the atom is here on the table – do you know where its electron is? Maybe in Rosh Pina, maybe in the middle of nothing. It’s quantum theory; the material is empty.
Even when we die we do not die, because we are made of molecules and atoms, and we move to another energy. You connect back to the cosmic fabric, to the web, to the connection of consciousnesses. You are consciousness.The consciousnesses will not die. Everything you have accumulated is added. It goes to the same network – and everything you have accumulated in your life, the personality, the total of what you have gone through, it accumulates. Stephen Hawking also realized that our consciousness adds to the fabric of the universe. We are building blocks. Stepping stones.

While rovers have made incredible discoveries, their wheels can hold them back, and erratic terrain can mean damage. There is no replacing something likePerseverance, but sometimes rovers could use a leg up, and they could get that from a small swarm of four-legged robots.
They look like giant metal insects, but the trio of ANYmal robots customized by researchers at ETH Zurich was tested in environments as close to the harsh lunar and Martian terrain as possible. Robots capable of walking could assist future rovers and mitigate the risk of damage from sharp edges or loss of traction in loose regolith. Not only do the ANYmals’ legs help them literally step over obstacles, but these bots work most efficiently as a team. They are each specialized for particular functions but still flexible enough to cover for each other—if one glitches, the others can take over its tasks.
“Our technology can enable robots to investigate scientifically transformative targets on the Moon and Mars that are unreachable at present using wheeled rover systems,” the research team said in a study recently published in Science Robotics.
Three of a kind
The ETH Zurich team designed each of its three semi-autonomous bots so they would be able to work both independently and together. They were specialized enough for particular tasks but also similar enough to replace each other if one went down. Because they could not operate autonomously, some involvement with human scientists and operators was necessary.
Every robot had aLiDAR(light detection and ranging) sensor. Beyond the LiDAR and legs, however, each model had some differences. The Scout model’s main objective was to survey its surroundings using RGB cameras. This robot also used another imager to map regions and objects of interest using filters that let through different areas of the light spectrum. During the demonstration, the Scout transmitted its images to a team of planetary scientists and operators who decided which areas were the most viable for exploring.
The Scientist model had the advantage of an arm featuring a MIRA (Metrohm Instant Raman Analyzer) and a MICRO (microscopic imager). The MIRA was able to identify chemicals in materials found on the surface of the demonstration area based on how they scattered light, while the MICRO on its wrist imaged them up close. The Hybrid was somewhere in between, helping out the Scout and the Scientist with measurements of scientific targets such as boulders and craters.
The dream team of the future
What made this squad succeed was redundancy. Although each robot had distinct features, all three shared some hardware and software capabilities. The possibility of failure influenced the design of the robots. If one encountered trouble, redundant features would make either of the remaining two able to back it up while still using their specialized features to complete their own tasks.
The robots proved themselves on one testing ground similar to the surface of the Moon and two much like the surface of Mars, all part of the ESA/ESRIC Space Resources Challenge (SRC) in Alzette, Luxembourg. Notably, the three bots explored an analog for the lunar south pole, where Artemis 3 astronauts will eventually land.
It may be dangerous for astronauts to venture to certain areas, so robots could be needed to explore perilous territory. This is why the bots were challenged with everything from craters, boulders, and loose regolith to beds of hardened lava known as mares.
On what was as close to lunar ground as you can get on Earth, the robots investigated the objects of most scientific interest and sent data back for further (human) analysis. They went through similar challenges at the other lunar analog site and the quarry that was a Martian analog site and had previously been used to test the ExoMars rover.
The researchers want to continue giving these bots upgrades, such as complete autonomy, so they can operate and reallocate tasks on their own. “A higher level of autonomy will additionally improve the system’s scalability to applications with even more challenging communication, such as Mars exploration,” they also said in the study.
Legged robots could join rovers and airborne spacecraft in the future, stepping into treacherous regions rovers cannot access and making exploration more efficient. Teamwork really could make the proverbial dream work in space.

Sturen we roedel robothonden naar Mars? “Beter idee dan alleen rovers”
De mensheid verkent Mars al een tijdje met rovers, robots op wieltjes zeg maar. Wetenschappers van ETH Zurich denken dat het een veel beter idee zou zijn om een roedel robothonden naar de planeet de sturen. Ze experimenteren er zelfs al mee op aarde.
Het team heeft drie ANYmal robots die aan de slag gaan op een stukje gesimuleerde buitenaardse ‘planeet’. Terwijl rovers soms vastzitten met hun wielen of niet voorbij een bepaalde obstructie kunnen zijn de robothonden daar wél toe in staat.
Zo kunnen ze over een grote steen stappen, een rover kan daar tegen rijden en vastzitten. Het team stelt trouwens voor om meteen drie exemplaren te sturen die samenwerken. Ze hebben elk een lidar aan boord - een laserstraal die de omgeving in kaart brengt in 3D - en elk afzonderlijk hun eigen set instrumenten die van elkaar afwijken. Het team spreekt over een ‘verkenner, hybride en een wetenschapper’.
De robots brengen hun omgeving in beeld en kunnen voorheen onbekend terrein verkennen, een groot pluspunt. Ze zouden ook samen met een rover kunnen landen op een planeet en die bijstaan. Dat kan gedeeltelijk autonoom, want hoewel wetenschappers vanop aarde opdrachten kunnen doorsturen zoals specifieke stukjes rots om te inspecteren, kunnen de robots de meeste bewegingen vanzelf uitvoeren zonder tussenkomst.

Every so often, a story comes along that captivates the imagination and challenges the very bounds of our understanding. For those with an interest in the unexplained and an appetite for conspiracy theories, the mysterious and chilling saga of Tom and his encounters with the unknown offers an immersive and intriguing journey into the realm of extraterrestrial conspiracy.
In the quiet township of Pascagoula, eerie occurrences started unfolding in the dark corners of the town. Tom, a regular, inconspicuous resident, suddenly became embroiled in an extraordinary tale. His experiences, seemingly straight out of a Hollywood sci-fi blockbuster, began to send ripples of alarm and intrigue throughout the community.
Tom claimed that unidentified entities – the ‘Men in Black,’ ominously dressed in dark suits, had infiltrated his home. These peculiar events started spinning into an even darker territory when his partner, Anne, mysteriously disappeared. The situation was uncannily reminiscent of the chilling 1973 UFO incident reported by Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker in the Gautier area, where they described being taken aboard a UFO by three space creatures. Tom’s experiences, whilst cloaked in modern day conspiracy, echoed these outlandish accounts from the past.
As the drama unfolded, Tom was compelled to go into hiding. His home had been ransacked, and his mental health came into question, eventually leading him to become the primary suspect in Anne’s disappearance. Desperate and fearful, he found refuge in the deserted home of Anne’s brother, where he hoped to remain unnoticed.
Concerned for Tom’s well-being, his friend, Robert, decided to support him in these trying times, becoming a confidant and ally. Together, they recorded Tom’s experiences – a chronicle of extraterrestrial encounters and governmental cover-ups that painted a haunting picture of the hidden forces at work.
While in hiding, Tom was determined to protect himself, showing his willingness to go to the extent of arming himself. His fear was palpable, reminiscent of Charles Hickson’s account of inexplicable terror from his 1973 encounter: “Just normal fear is something that you expect if you’re on this Earth but this was something that wasn’t supposed to even exist. And it’s fear that you can’t even explain.”
The arrival of Claire, another character in this intricate tale, intensified the suspense. Her plea for Tom to turn himself in led to a startling confrontation. As the tension mounted, shots rang out in the darkness, plunging the plot deeper into the realm of the unknown.
Through all the harrowing events, Robert continued to document the happenings. However, even his safety was compromised when the enigmatic Men in Black confronted him, seizing his digital files and issuing ominous threats.
This incredible tale, woven with elements of fear, conspiracy, and the extraterrestrial, serves as a riveting narrative of humanity’s perpetual quest for truth amidst the unknown. It encourages us to question our perceptions of reality, and ponder the existence of forces beyond our comprehension. In an era marked by technological progress and scientific discovery, stories like Tom’s continue to bewilder us, hinting at the limitless enigmas that our universe may hold.
Whether it is a case of intricate conspiracy, a mind bending illusion or a surreal brush with the extraterrestrial, the saga of Tom and his paranormal encounters, serves as a spine-chilling testament to the fact that, sometimes, truth can indeed be stranger than fiction.
Location of sighting: Port St Lucie, Florida, USA Source: MUFON
This just in a few minutes ago. A persons ringcam caught something odd, a green glowing UFO dropping off a giant droplet with an alien inside it. The giant droplet looks to be about 1 meter tall and slowly drops and vanishes as it hits the ground. Clearly this is a UFO dropping off an alien entity which then is transported safely 4-5 miles below the ground to the awaiting alien base. Can you see the face inside the alien pod? It's so detailed. From the expression on the persons face, I see the person is very nervous about this process of transporting to the underground base. This is 100% proof that intelligent aliens do exist and are already living on Earth.
Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
Two domes seemed to lower this head into my bush before both domes disappeared. It showed up on my ring video. I have the video clip.
Hey I made a new video, please like and subscribe to my channel on Youtube called UFO Sightings Daily. I found some ancient artifacts in three different Mars photos.
I found a stone coffin in a photo. The stone coffin even has a lid laced so well on it that you couldn't even squeeze a piece a paper between them...that how well it was made. Also the lid of the coffin is black stone, there the lower box of the coffin is a brown stone. Very similar to ancient Roman coffins 2,000+ years ago on Earth.
I also found a finger. The finger is near some long fossils and the Mars rover apparently took a really close up photo of it so it has amazing detail. The finger looks very old, wrinkly and has a finger nail at its end. How did it get there? Well, I did show you a coffin did I not? Maybe some coffins on the hills broke open and body parts rolled down the hill side.
Something that was most intriguing to me was the three faces on a hillside, looking outward to the horizon. What was intriguing was not that they were faces, but that they were faces of three different designs and possibly three different species. You see, one face looks like our ancient Greek god Apollo with wings on his helm and a strong chin and nose. The second was a more square shaped face similar to ancient Mayan and Aztec carvings on the pyramids in Mexico. The third is a face similar to those from ancient Mesopotamia with a well pronounced beard, forehead, head band and nose, eyes chin features.
This is not only 100% proof that intelligent aliens once existed on Mars, but also also proof that they had cultural values and rituals to protect the dead in coffins. Not to mention the uniqueness of the faces indicating three different species and cultures in themselves.
UFO caught entering earths atmosphere over Corrales, New Mexico July 21, 2023, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 21, 2023 Location of sighting: Corrales, New Mexico, USA
This UFO was caught trying to disguise itself as a meteor, however it you watch carefully, you will see that the UFO has not tail as it enters the earths atmosphere and then 2 seconds later, suddenly there is a tail. The UFO made the tail much too late. Also this UFO did not objstruct its long shape, because I can clearly make it out. The object at the end makes a fake bright ball of light as if it blew up...as meteors also do, but then the object is seen continuing across the sky. So it didn't blow up at all, it was a fake blast to fool onlookers into thinking its a meteor. Aliens...they constantly try to outwit us.
Unveiling the Mystery: 1940’s Military Experiments with UFOs
In the dense annals of modern history, one theory persistently pops up that compels our curiosity: could some of the most notable technological advancements of the 20th century be a result of reverse-engineering unidentified flying objects (UFOs)? The speculation, although shrouded in mystery, is not entirely unfounded.
In April 2020, the Pentagon confirmed a startling revelation that the U.S. military has been encountering UFOs in our airspace. These sightings involved objects moving in inexplicable patterns, hinting at a technological prowess far superior to ours. Further stoking these claims, the New York Times unveiled a report suggesting the existence of a covert U.S. program focused on the analysis and reverse engineering of alien craft.
Two UFO incidents tower above the rest: the notorious Roswell event of 1947, and the lesser-known but equally intriguing Kecksburg incident of 1965. Both events are said to involve the military’s retrieval of the alleged extraterrestrial craft, followed by extensive investigation and reverse engineering of the technology.
The Truth Behind The Military UFO Experiments of the 1940’s | UFO Witness
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base has been the alleged epicenter of these operations for the better part of the last century. Tom Carey, a former member of the Air Force and an authority on the Roswell incident, suggests that the base’s Foreign Technology Division was tasked with the reverse-engineering of recovered spacecrafts. Their mission? To unravel the secrets of these advanced crafts, and potentially harness the knowledge for the benefit of our own technology.
The fruits of these endeavors are speculated to include revolutionary materials and technologies like transistors, Kevlar, lasers, and an intriguing memory metal— a material that could reshape itself after being crumpled, all while proving resistant to any form of damage. Nitinol, a similar metal, was revealed by the U.S. government in 1962. This metal also boasts ‘memory’ properties, though it falls short of the extraordinary abilities of the reported alien material. Nevertheless, Nitinol has found its way into medical applications and the space program, and is even speculated to contribute to stealth technology in aircrafts.
The progress in aeronautical engineering has been equally astonishing. Consider the leap from heavy bomber biplanes to the SR-71 Blackbird stealth aircraft, a transition that was surprisingly swift, raising questions about the source of this advancement. UFO enthusiasts often connect this unprecedented progress to the alleged reverse engineering of alien crafts.
But as intriguing as these speculations are, they’ve always been met with the question of “where?” If Wright-Patterson Air Force Base was once the hub of such activities, where are they happening now? The answer remains elusive. Due to supposed leaks, it’s believed that these operations have been moved from the well-known Wright-Patterson to an undisclosed location.
The involvement of Project Blue Book, a former UFO investigation team, and Battelle, a renowned metallurgical research company, adds another layer of intrigue. Reports suggest that Battelle might have been entrusted with the analysis of debris from Roswell and Kecksburg incidents, contributing to a body of knowledge that may have birthed NASA in 1958.
The UFO lore, with its tantalizing blend of conspiracy, curiosity, and technological marvels, continues to captivate us. As we unravel the mysteries of our cosmos, the question persists: is our technological prowess purely a testament to human ingenuity, or could it be a testament to an otherworldly influence? The answers remain as elusive and fascinating as the UFOs themselves.
No wonder the whole world will unite if tomorrow Earth is invaded by aliens. It may sound like science fiction but the probability of it cannot be denied. There are many accounts of encountering non-human beings but such stories are often neglected due to a lack of strong evidence. However, things become different when a government itself supports such claims. Some of them were Gen. Douglas McArthur, Gen. George Marshall, Werner Von Braun, President Ronald Reagan, Gen. Nathan Twining, Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, and many others.
Former US President Ronald Reagan expressed his concern about an alien invasion in his speeches from 1985 to 1988. In one of his speeches to the UN, he said: “What if all of us in the world were threatened by an outer power, from outer space, from another planet? We would all of a sudden find out that we didn’t have any differences at all.” None of the presidential aides, speechwriters, and handlers liked what he said. Besides, it never appeared on original drafts. Despite it, Reagan continued adding it subtly.
In 1982, there was a special screening of the movie “ET: The Extra-Terrestrial” at the White House. During the screening, President Reagan whispered to Steven Spielberg that everything depicted in the film was real. Spielberg confirmed this during an interview with Quint (also known as Eric Vespe).
Spielberg said: “No, he wasn’t ushered out of the room. He was the President of the United States! Nobody could usher Ronald Reagan out of the room! It was in the White House screening room and Reagan got up to thank me for bringing the film to show the President, the First Lady, and all of their guests, which included Sandra Day O’Connor in her first week as a Justice of the Supreme Court, and it included some astronauts… I think Neil Armstrong was there, I’m not 100% certain, but it was an amazing, amazing evening.”
Reagan was criticized for his bizarre comments on aliens, he was called an actor reading a script but the truth is that they were his own words. In the following years, many officials in the White House hinted at the presence of outer world life.
One such interesting case is brought to light by the writer, producer, co-host of the podcast Need To Know, and former CNN correspondent Bryce Zabel. Mr. Bryce discovered the story of a Reagan administration cabinet member crying himself to sleep after being briefed on the truth about UFOs.
John Herrington, Former US Navy AS R&MA and served as the United States Secretary of Energy under Ronald Reagan during his second term.
President Reagan and James Baker interviewing John Herrington for the cabinet position of Secretary of Energy in Oval Office Photo courtesy of U.S.National Archives and Records Administration: Ronald Reagan Presidential Library & Museum.
Mr. Bryce was telling a story originally told by his friend Brent Friedman. According to him, Brent was a family friend of John S. Herrington, who served as Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Secretary of Energy in the Reagan Administration. Herrington “had Brent drive his car across the country in 1981 because he had just taken a position in the Reagan administration.” This is where Herrington allegedly told this story to Friedman. (Source)
Friedman said: “A good family friend of ours, when I was just getting out of high school, was working at a very high level in the Reagan administration. One night, he took me aside and was telling me some of the things he was doing in the government. He was going to get us a White House tour and everything and ended up telling me some pretty shattering stories.
And in particular, he knew that I had always been into science fiction and fantasy and comic books and very casually just threw out there that aliens were real. They’re here, and I’ve seen them. The story goes on to much greater detail because at the time, I was just absolutely shocked. And this is a person I grew up with and I completely trusted, and he just rocked my world.”
“In addition to Sauder’s well-documented research, there are other tantalizing links to the underground world. One, for example, concerns an assistant secretary to a branch of the armed forces in a new Republican administration. This person told a family friend that he had been ‘briefed’ for some eight weeks at an underground facility outside of Washington.”
When asked the purpose of the briefing, this highly-positioned man, who went on to become a cabinet secretary, said: “There is intelligent life in the universe. It’s here. And I’ve seen it.” The man said that the information he had been given caused him to cry himself to sleep for a number of nights. The reason, he told his shocked listener, was that he had children. “This is not the kind of world I thought they’d grow up in.
What kinds of things are going on that require months-long briefings in underground facilities and cause grown men to cry? The cabinet secretary told the family friend that aliens were just the ‘tip of the iceberg’ in terms of mind-blowing revelations. It is clear, then, that large underground facilities not only are real, but are connected in some way with the reality of ETs or ‘Others’ here on Earth."
The claims of non-human intelligence living with us are not new and have been told by more than a dozen of government officials.
—The Honorable Paul Hellyer (1923-2021), former Canadian Minister of Defense said extraterrestrials have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and it is likely that at least two of them are working with the U.S. government and sharing their highly-advanced technologies with humans.
Hellyer stated that “aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government.” More specifically, Hellyer announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. According to Huffington Post Canada, he also stated that some extraterrestrials originate from the “Zeta Reticuli, the Pleiades, Orion, Andromeda, and Altair star systems” and “may have different agendas.”
—In December 2020, Haim Eshed, a retired Israeli general and former head of the Israeli Defense Ministry’s space directorate gained attention for making controversial claims about extraterrestrial life and alleged secret collaborations between humans and aliens. He stated that aliens and the U.S. government had reached some type of deal to stay quiet about their experiments on Earth and secret facilities on Mars.
In his claims, Mr. Eshed said ETs exist and monitor our nuclear capabilities. There is a “Galactic Federation,” and the alien species with whom humanity will contact is “Grey.” According to him, Earth is their Petri dish, and they are also trying to understand the whole fabric of the universe. He further stated that some of the smaller UFOs are robots/AI, consciousness is present after death, and humans have anti-gravity technology but it is still classified.
—Jim Semivan, a former CIA officer has recently made a shocking statement, saying “there’s a whole other reality that surrounds us that we just simply don’t have the ability to see or interact with. There’s an entity out there! There’s some kind of non-human intelligence that’s living with us on this planet!”
“I think they mention that the phenomenon is a natural part of our universe, and we’re living in it but we don’t recognize it. The same way that insects and animals don’t recognize the human universe. A cat and a dog could be running through a library, but they don’t have the faintest idea what the books are all about and what libraries are all about. We might be walking through our existence and there’s a whole other reality that surrounds us that we just simply don’t have the ability to see or interact with.”
“It seems to be peeking inside our little consensus reality. As I explained to somebody once, it comes close, it teases us, it cajoles us, it lies to us, but you can never take it home to meet the parents. It won’t allow you to do that. There’s no formal introduction. Add on top that there’s no ontology, which is just a fancy word, it basically means there’s no structure to even discuss this. We don’t have a common lexicon. Somebody said we have dots but no connections. I don’t even think we have dots.”
I sent this letter to the U.S. Air Force on July 11, 2013 to solicit an official response to allegations by ex-special agent Richard Doty of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) that he participated in spreading UFO disinformation. Among his claims, he says he broke into a civilian’s home, created hoaxed documents, and lied to two U.S. Senators. Some of these are criminal acts that he claims he committed on orders from his superiors in the AFOSI. Whether or not this is true, these acts were committed while he was an AFOSI special agent, and I believe the U.S. Air Force needs to respond.
After working with the AFOSI public affairs department on Freedom of Information Act Requests (FOIA) related to this incident, I was told I would be able to speak to someone who could give me an official response. However, once I received the documents I was told they had nothing further to say.
Allegations of Criminal Misconduct
Air Force Office of Special Investigations Agent Richard Doty claims to have partaken in the acts of misinforming members of congress, breaking into the private residence of a civilian government contractor, and disseminating known forgeries of government documents while on active duty in the 1980s. Furthermore, he claims to have committed these acts on the orders of his superiors at AFOSI.
Although his claims have garnered a large amount of public attention, including having been the subject of several books (including one by New York Times Journalist Howard Blum), and were directly related to the government contractor mentioned above having been temporarily committed to a mental health facility, the U.S. Air Force has yet to comment on the veracity of his claims.
Was the U.S. Air Force involved with these criminal acts, as claimed by Doty, and if not what was done regarding his conduct?
Background
Beginning in the 1980s, Paul Bennewitz began reporting strange lights over the Manzano area of Kirtland Air Force Base, and claimed to have recorded unusual signals emanating from the base (1). Bennewitz was the owner of Thunder Scientific, a humidity company with contracts with Kirtland and several other branches of the military and government contractors (2). He believed the lights and signals were due to extraterrestrial activity (3).
According to documents retrieved from previous FOIA requests, officers at Kirtland looked at his evidence on two occasions and decided not to investigate (1)(3). Bennewitz contacted Senator Harrison Schmitt and Senator Pete Domenici, both of whom made inquiries about the status of the investigation on Bennewitz’s material to Air Force Office of Special Investigations Special Agent Richard Doty. In both cases, Agent Doty informed the senators that there was no AFOSI investigation on this matter (3)(4). Likewise, the files do show that after each review of Bennewitz’s material, it was recommended that an investigation not be initiated (1)(3). This is the extent of the material regarding Bennewitz and AFOSI in these files.
However, Richard Doty has since claimed that he lied to the senators on behalf of AFOSI, and that there was a disinformation campaign underway against Bennewitz. According to statements he has made to several associates, and on at least one national radio program, he told Bennewitz there was an investigation and he gave Bennewitz hoaxed material to support this claim (5). The first such document was given to Bennewtiz after Senator Schmitt’s inquiry, and just prior to Senator Domenici’s (3)(4)(14).
According to Doty, and witnessed by others, he continued his campaign to convince Bennewitz that he was actually experiencing extraterrestrial phenomena for several years. New Mexico state police officer Gabe Valdez claimed in interviews with me that he was present when Doty flew Bennewitz over the town of Dulce, New Mexico (6). Doty claims he convinced Bennewitz that there was an alien base under nearby Archuleta Mountain.
It was during this time that Doty claims he was ordered to break into Bennewitz’s residence. He told this to the author of a book on his disinformation activities titled, Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth (7), and to retired U.S. Army Colonel John Alexander (8). Eventually, Bennewitz became so paranoid regarding an extraterrestrial invasion that he had to spend time in a mental institution (5).
Doty continues to spread information on UFOs and aliens he alleges to have received while working for AFOSI (5). Many of the documents he disseminated during his campaign against Bennewitz have grown into huge modern mythologies, spawning books, movies and TV shows.
Although on two occasions the Air Force has stated that documents pertaining to this matter, allegedly dispensed by Doty, are not real (9)(10), they have not spoken to whether Doty was under orders, as he claims, when he lied to the senators, broke into Bennewitz’s home, and dispensed material to Bennewitz making him believe he was under investigation. The question then is not whether the documents are hoaxes, but whether Doty hoaxed these documents under his own volition, or was ordered to do so as a part of a disinformation campaign, as he claims is the case.
If Doty was not acting under orders, this would mean he was forging government documents while he was an active AFOSI agent. In that case, AFOSI needs to respond to whether they were aware of Doty’s activities, and if so, what action was taken. It would be surprising to find AFOSI was not aware of this sort of criminal activity going on for several years by one of their agents. Doty has indicated he was demoted at one point, however, this is not documented in the military records I obtained through FOIA, nor is the reason for this demotion (11). It is also unknown whether this demotion has any relation to the apparent criminal activity related to this case.
The official AFOSI Bennewitz files
These files have been obtained separately through FOIA requests by UFO researcher and author William Moore, Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), and Navy physicist, Bruce Maccabee. Because of the multiple sources, and the high credibility of Dr. Maccabee and the files released by CAUS, I believe these documents to be legitimate. The USAF has informed the recipients that these are all of the files related to AFOSI and Bennewitz. I am seeking confirmation through my own pending FOIA request (Case # 2013-03291-F). [This was written prior to the fulfillment of my FOIA request, which was fulfilled August 2, 2013, and included the same documents I reference here. View the documents I received here.]
The first document is a Multipurpose Internal OSI Form dated October 28, 1980, and signed by Major Thomas Cseh. The subject is “Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in Restricted Test Range.” It states that Bennewitz contacted Doty through Major Ernest E. Edwards. Bennewitz claimed to have “knowledge and evidence of threats against Manzano Weapons Storage area.” On October 26, 1980 Doty, along with Jerry Miller, Chief Scientific Advisor for the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center at Kirtland, went to Bennewitz’s residence and conducted an interview. It is noted that Miller had experience investigating UFOs with Project Blue Book. They reviewed photographs, 8mm film, and recording tapes showing periods of high levels of electrical magnetism emitted from the Manzano/Coyote Canyon area. They noted Bennewitz also had surveillance equipment pointed at the base to record high frequencies (1).
They concluded that there were some type of “unidentified aerial objects” caught on the film, but they could not determine whether they posed a threat. They also found the electronic recording tapes to be inconclusive. They informed FTD [Foreign Technology Division] of their findings who wanted to inspect Bennewitz’s data, and briefed their command. However, it was noted that command “did not request an investigation at this time (1).”
The second file is another Multipurpose Internal OSI Form dated November 26, 1980, and also signed by Major Thomas Cseh. The subject is again, “Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in Restricted Test Range.” The report describes a meeting that took place on the base on November 10, 1980, between Brigadier General William Brooksher, seven other officers, and Bennewitz. Bennewitz presented film and photographs which he believed to be of alien spacecraft, and described how he believed he was in contact with these aliens. He requested a grant to further research his interactions. One of those present, Dr. Lehman, Director of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory at Kirtland, told Bennewitz he would help him fill out paperwork to request a grant from the USAF (3).
This document then states that on November 17, Doty advised Bennewitz that AFOSI would not investigate the objects, and that they were “not in a position to evaluate the information and photographs.” It also says that on the date of the report, November 26, 1980, Doty received a phone call from Senator Harrison Schmitt inquiring about AFOSI’s role in the investigation of the sightings reported by Bennewitz. Doty advised Schmitt that AFOSI was not investigating the phenomenon and referred him to another AFOSI district. Schmitt declined and said he would check with the Secretary of the Air Force to determine the correct USAF agency to investigate the phenomena. The final note in this document is that Bennewitz had many conversations with Senator Schmitt, and Schmitt had in turn called Brigadier General Brooksher on multiple occasions regarding Bennewitz’s sightings (3).
The third document is an AFOSI communication form noting a meeting between Senator Peter Domenici and Doty regarding Bennewitz. It is signed by Colonel Frank Huey. It says that the IG [Inspector General] contacted AFOSI to advise them that Senator Domenici wanted to talk to Doty. Colonel Harvell approved the meeting, and Domenici, who was already in the IG’s office, went directly to speak to Doty. The report then says a subsequent check was made with Domenici’s aide, Mr. Tijeros, to find out what they wanted to discuss with Doty. Tijeros said they wanted to know whether AFOSI had conducted a formal investigation of Bennewitz. Tijeros was informed that there was no formal investigation. Tijeros indicated that Senator Domenici will likely make no further inquiries into the matter (4).
These three documents seem to indicate that AFOSI humored Bennewitz by examining his evidence, but did not engage in a formal investigation. Doty served as the point of contact to inform Senators Schmitt and Domenici, as well as Bennewitz, that AFOSI would not be investigating Bennewitz’s alleged alien evidence.
Richard Doty’s claims
The source for the claims I am referring to is a radio show appearance by Richard Doty on February 27, 2005. It was on a night time program called Coast to Coast AM, with a very large international listening audience. Although Doty has done many other interviews, they are almost all in print or online. Often his claims vary from one interview to another, and when pressed on this point, Doty often denies he made the statements. This includes a book he is credited as co-writing titled, Exempt from Disclosure. He claims he did not write the chapter credited to him, although his co-author notes he did sign the paperwork to authorize the book and cashed the checks for payment. Either way, I use the radio interview because it is similar to the core story he has been portraying in other interviews, and is one of the few sources with his verifiable direct statements.
According to Doty, in reference to his visit to Bennewitz’s residence with Miller on October 26, 1980, he says “The report was that this person had sufficient knowledge and the right equipment to tap into sensitive communications equipment and sensitive projects that was (sic) occurring in Kirtland.” The radio host, Art Bell responded, “Alright, somewhere in the mix of all this comes disinformation. In other words, you are going to admit tonight, I believe, that you dispensed disinformation, is that true?” To that Doty responds: “That is absolutely true.” Doty explained that this was done to protect base secrets. He said, “what we did is that we convinced him that what he was picking up wasn’t anything classified from the base, but in fact it was probably of alien origin (5).”
Doty says that Bennewitz also believed there was an alien base under Archuleta Mountain, near Dulce, New Mexico. Doty claims he worked with personnel from Ft. Carson to help perpetuate this idea. Doty explains, “We had a couple of black helicopters, and we had some things planted onto the ground around Archuleta peak, and just to convince him that what he was actually looking at, what he thought, actually was an alien base (5).”
Doty said that this disinformation campaign was an easier way to handle Bennewitz’s collection of sensitive Air Force activities than making him stop. He says, “It was easier for us to have done it that way than to get a warrant, a search warrant and a seizure warrant and seize all of his property and seize his equipment. What would that do? That would cause a lot of publicity, and the wrong type of publicity the base wanted (5).”
Bell asked Doty if he was aware that Bennewitz eventually ended up needing psychiatric care. Doty responded, “Yes, and I visited Paul a number of times.” He continued, “I was trying to convince Paul, and I went to his son to do this, that ‘hey, everything we told you before, Paul, isn’t true.’ And I explained to him why we were doing it, but he never believed me (5). “
Bell asked if he had any remorse for what happened to Bennewitz, to which Doty replied, “…it upset me what happened to Paul. I mean I went and tried to talk to Paul about it, against my commander’s orders. He told me, ‘Hey, he doesn’t have the clearance. You can’t go over there and tell him this stuff didn’t happen.’ But I did anyway, because I was concerned about Paul (5).”
Bell then asked Doty if there were other cases of UFO deception that Doty was involved with. He replied, “…pertaining to just UFOs, it was the four operations.” One of which he said was regarding researcher Linda Howe. He says, “…we invited her to Kirtland, we showed her some information pertaining to UFOs, we showed her a document and tried to bring her in and hook her on a hook, and she took it initially and then we carried on a contact with her over a period of time, meeting her at different locations and providing her with some information.” This is important because Doty has denied bringing Howe to Kirtland in the past, and has also denied showing her anything on UFOs. However, according to Howe, the document she was shown is very similar to a hoaxed document given to another UFO researcher, William Moore (5).
Doty elaborated on his association with Moore, saying, “Bill Moore was recruited by another person within Defense Intelligence Agency to provide disinformation.” In a letter to the editor in the July 15, 2000 issue of Saucer Smear, Doty wrote, “Moore was a coded source for OSI. That means he provided intelligence information that was documented. He was paid for his information. Moore was used to provide disinformation to Ufologists (12).” Although the details change, to my knowledge, Doty has never denied Moore’s involvement (5).
Finally, in regards to all of this, Doty claims in the radio program, “I followed orders. Everything we did was following orders (5).”
Although Doty claims the Bennewitz affair was disinformation, he also claims he was briefed on UFOs when he joined AFOSI. He says the briefing stated, among other things, “[Roswell] was real. We had an alien. It was in captivity up until 1951. He was kept at Kirtland and he was kept at Los Alamos. He died in the later part of 1951.” Doty also claims the alien liked strawberry ice cream and Tibetan music (5).
Hoaxed documents
This section will review hoaxed documents linked to Doty, most of which are connected to the events we have reviewed thus far. We will also review one document that surfaced just prior to Doty’s interactions with Bennewitz. The significance here is that if Doty is to be believed, these documents, which have had a significant impact on the UFO research community and society in general, are official fabrications of the USAF. If these documents were not created in a disinformation campaign, then Doty either alone or with others, participated in hoaxing official government documents.
Moore, the UFO researcher mentioned in the radio program, was co-author, with Charles Berlitz, of the book The Roswell Incident, which was published in 1980. It was the first book on the alleged UFO crash in Roswell. He says that in 1980 he was approached by a high level intelligence official, the same person Doty referenced earlier as working in the DIA, who said he and others knew the truth about UFOs and wanted the information out, so they would help him with his work. Moore gave this man the code name “Falcon” and says the he was told he would work primarily through a liaison that turned out to be Doty. Many have speculated that Doty was Falcon, but Moore denies this (13).
Moore says he began providing Falcon and Doty information on the UFO community and Paul Bennewitz. During a speech at a UFO conference in 1989, Moore said, “My role in the affair was largely that of a freelancer providing information on Paul’s current thinking and activities. I had nothing whatsoever to do with the counterintelligence and the disinformation (13).” However, he later claimed he was involved with dispensing at least one hoaxed document (14).
Moore says he worked with Falcon and Doty until 1984 (13). Rumors of his involvement with government agents eventually lead him to come clean in the aforementioned speech in 1989, at which point he retired from UFO research. In 1990, along with his research partner, Jamie Shandera, he released a document called The MJ-12 Documents: An Analytical Report, which analyzed the documents related to the Bennewitz Affair.
The first hoaxed document Moore examines is not part of the Bennewitz affair, but it does have links to Doty. It is a letter, along with an Air Force Incident/Complaint Report, from Ellsworth Air Force Base, regarding a UFO encounter. The letter claimed the incident had occurred on November 16, 1977, and was subsequently classified on December 2, 1977. The author claims he wanted to get the information out before the Air Force covered it up. The letter was sent to the National Enquirer (14). According to Bob Pratt of the National Enquirer, those named in the letter were questioned, and the letter was determined to be a hoax (15).
It is included in Moore’s report because he says Doty was stationed at Ellsworth at the time (14). Military records for Doty I obtained also show Doty was at Ellsworth from 1976 to 1979 (11). When Moore asked about the document, Doty told him he was aware of the “operation,” to create the document, but did not have any direct involvement (14).
The second document is a letter sent to a UFO organization called the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) in July of 1980 about a UFO sighting that was witnessed by Craig Weitzel near Pecos, NM. It claims Weitzel was stationed at Dobbins AFB, but was visiting Kirtland. The letter claims a man in a black suit told Weitzel he saw something he should not have and demanded photographs of the object that Weitzel had taken. The man writing the letter claims he was a friend of Weitzel’s, and was himself stationed at Kirtland. He said Weitzel had spoken to an OSI agent named “Mr. Dody (sic)” about the matter (17).
Moore worked with APRO at the time the letter was received. He says the letter was loosely based off a real sighting, but was a hoax. He also says he didn’t know it then, but he found out later that Doty had written this letter. He says Doty told him the letter was meant to draw someone out of APRO who could provide information on Bennewitz, which, as we have seen, Moore eventually did end up participating in (14).
The third document is the first piece of disinformation allegedly given to Bennewitz. Moore says the document was given to him by Falcon and Doty to give to Bennewitz (14). The document was an alleged secret AFOSI teletype dated November, 1980. It was regarding analysis of Bennewitz’s photographs and alleges that this investigation is part of a secret project called Aquarius “with restricted access to ‘MJ Twelve’.” It claims NASA is monitoring the case and that AFOSI is gathering evidence and forwarding it to NASA (18).
Moore says he was given the document in March of 1981, but because he was hesitant to give knowingly false information to Bennewitz, he did not deliver it until late that summer (14). This timing is notable, because it was late summer, specifically July 30, when Senator Domenici went to Kirtland to ask about the Bennewitz investigation (4). Although Bennewitz and Senator Schmitt had already been told there was no AFOSI investigation (3)(4), the receipt of this document could explain why Bennewitz and/or Senator Domenici believed there was an investigation in the summer of 1981.
The fourth document is a list of notes allegedly used to brief President Carter on the UFO situation with bombastic claims of Air Force cover-ups regarding crashed UFOs, alien technology, interactions with aliens, etc. The cover again mentions Project Aquarius and “MJ12” (19). Moore says he was allowed to view and photograph this document in March of 1983 (14). In April of 1983, Linda Howe says she was invited to Kirtland Air Force Base by Doty and shown this document, or one very similar. As noted above, in the radio interview, Doty confirms this (5).
The fifth and final document is an MJ-12 Eisenhower briefing. This document was sent to Moore’s research partner, Jamie Shandera, on December 11, 1984, in a package from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The document was on 35 mm film (14). The document’s content shows similarities to the alleged Carter briefing, including the mention of MJ-12 (20)(14), first referenced in the teletype (18). It was also sent from Albuquerque, where Doty lived at the time and was still stationed at Kirtland AFB. However, Doty denies having created or sent the document (14).
Moore also denies having created the document (14). Allegedly acting on an anonymous tip, Shandera and Moore claim to have found a supporting document in the National Archives on July 18, 1985. This document is a July 14, 1954 memo from Robert Cutler, Special Assistant to the President, to General Twining regarding a “NSC/MJ-12 Special Studies Project.” It is a short memo and discusses the date and time of a meeting. It does not allude to the nature of the meeting (14). The National Archives has since released a paper outlining 10 points that “pose problems” for the authenticity of the document (22). Otherwise, there has yet to be any verifiable official reference to MJ-12.
The FBI undertook an investigation of the MJ-12 Eisenhower Briefing due to multiple requests. That investigation included a request to AFOSI headquarters inquiring about its authenticity. AFOSI claimed the document to be “bogus,” however, neither they nor the FBI have commented as to the document’s origins (9). To date, AFOSI has not commented on whether they have any involvement with the creation of the documents, as alleged by their own AFOSI agent, who, as demonstrated, was very closely related to the individuals who allegedly were anonymously given these documents, a document which also shares similarities to other documents that he asked to be given to Bennewitz, and had shown Moore and Howe.
According to Doty, “The FBI did an investigation on me because of the MJ-12 documents. It was 88 or 89… They thought I disclosed those documents (5).” If this is true, the results of their investigation have yet to be revealed.
Conclusion
Due to the extent at which the mythology created by Doty’s official or non-official disinformation campaign has worked its way into an alleged hidden history of Air Force and U.S. government secrecy, and due to the negative impact these events had on Mr. Bennewitz and his family, we deserve a response from the Air Force on their involvement, or non-involvement in this matter. Mr. Doty is now a sergeant for the New Mexico State Police, based out of Grants, and he continues to make wild accusations about the Air Force’s secret knowledge of UFOs and aliens. If he was not under orders to fabricate these documents, as he claims, then his employers and those he continues to attempt to perpetrate hoaxes upon, deserve to know this.

This speech ended Moore's involvement with UFO research. The OSI agent claims he ran this campaign under orders.
According to FOIA docs I received linked in the post above, 2 senators caught wind of it and made inquiries. Both were told by the OSI agent there was no such info being disseminated. Meanwhile, this same agent was in the midst of providing this information to a UFO researcher and Kirkland AFB contractor.
Look carefully at this hill top and you will notice that an ancient face of an intelligent alien species is looking upward. The detail is so-so, but I've seen much worse sculptures of faces in museums and paintings. This is however on Mars, so it's more important. Faces tell us who made them. Faces tell us what they looked like and when we see the face we quickly realize...they are not so different from us. Not so scary as the movies and gov would like to make us believe. They look relaxed, calm, majestic and proud. Reminds me us.
Have you all heard about all the pentagon meetings and discussions about UFOs and aliens in the news recently? They are calling the most important eyewitnesses in the world, however, they are avoiding me. They know that my site, my decades of hands on research is too much for congress, the pentagon or any NASA meeting. They only want to ask UFO researchers that are a joke, and not hard core serous like me. So no...don't expect any real answers from the US gov anytime soon.
Burchett Reports: Pilots Confess to Erasing Evidence of UFO Sightings
UFOs, Power Struggles, and the Fight for Truth: The Battle Inside Capitol Hill
In the realm of unexplained phenomena, few topics are as enigmatic and captivating as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Recently, the conversation around these inexplicable sightings has taken a significant turn on Capitol Hill, led by Tennessee’s Representative Tim Burchett. He’s been advocating relentlessly for more government transparency on the topic, but it seems there are unseen challenges blocking his path.
In an interview that sparked widespread attention, Burchett detailed the struggles he has faced in attempting to shine a light on this shrouded area. He revealed that some of his sources, mainly decorated veteran pilots with firsthand accounts of UFO sightings, had begun to pull back due to pressure from entities like the Pentagon and NASA. It’s a revelation that underscores the difficulty in tackling a subject often dismissed by mainstream scientific and government institutions.
One intriguing instance that Burchett highlighted involves a situation in which his witnesses claim to have destroyed their own visual evidence of UFOs. This drastic measure was reportedly taken out of fear of severe interrogation from their superiors, a reality that Burchett deems unacceptable in a society that is supposed to protect whistleblowers. He asserts, “This is the freaking United States of America” – a statement highlighting the incongruity of the situation and the urgency for institutional reform.
Burchett also shared the specific problems his team encountered when trying to organize a House Oversight Committee hearing on UFO claims. From getting people in the room to overcoming various roadblocks that seemed intentionally placed to stymie progress, the entire process has been fraught with difficulties. Nevertheless, Burchett remains undeterred, committed to ensuring the issue gets the bipartisan attention it deserves.
But why this quest for transparency? Burchett posits that the current secrecy and resistance from entities like NASA and the Pentagon only fuels speculation and encourages illegitimate narratives. The lack of clarity ultimately fosters distrust in the government, a sentiment that spans both political parties, according to Burchett.
In one revealing anecdote, Burchett described being turned away from a secure briefing in Florida, despite initial promises of access to pictures and pilot testimonies. The Pentagon’s subsequent retraction and the presentation of a fruit tray as a consolation painted a vivid picture of the dismissive attitude facing those who dare to probe into the UFO phenomenon.
Yet, despite the frustration and the obstacles, Burchett’s resolve to uncover the truth remains. His determination illuminates the larger picture – this isn’t just about UFOs. It’s about fostering government accountability, upholding the rights of whistleblowers, and restoring public trust.
Indeed, Representative Burchett’s battle serves as a sobering reminder of the struggles faced by those seeking to demystify the unknown. As the debate over UFO transparency continues, one thing is for certain: the fight for accountability, against all odds, will carry on.
John Lear, a former CIA pilot, passed away on March 29, 2022, leaving behind a legacy in the world of aviation and conspiracy theories. He was widely known for his claims about the unidentified aerial phenomenon and Area 51, but also for a lifetime of daring exploits in everything that could fly. He was the son of American inventor Bill Lear, who created the Lear jet and invented the 8-Track tape system.
Determined to carve out his own path, Lear delved into aviation, becoming an accomplished pilot at a young age, setting multiple world records in various planes. Despite his accomplishments, his daredevil lifestyle resulted in serious injuries from plane crashes that he should not have survived.
During the Vietnam era, Lear flew cargo planes for the CIA and continued to seek out danger by flying in and out of other hotspots. He had numerous contacts in the aerospace industry and became interested in secret planes and projects.
In the 1980s, Lear and a few friends began investigating obscure bases in the Nevada desert, which later became famous. His claims about UFOs and Area 51 and his lifetime of daredevil exploits in the skies will forever be remembered.
Lear’s appearance in “On the Record,” which aired on January 28, 1988, on KLAS TV in Las Vegas, startled the UFO discussion and told investigative journalist George Knapp that the government even housed aliens at two U.S. sites. Lear said the government was engaged in a program to gradually inform the public of encounters that had already happened.

According to Lear, there are at least 70 different species of aliens. He specifically mentioned the existence of “little green men” as well as “little grey ones,” who are about 4 and a half feet tall. He also talked about the existence of “Nordics,” which are similar in appearance to humans, but are taller and have blond hair and blue eyes. He stated that one of those species was recovered from a crash and was stored on ice.
Lear claimed that there are good and bad aliens and they have all kinds of ways to interact with humans. “And what are some of the reasons? Why would they be here?” Knapp asked. Lear replied: “Genetic experiments.” He further said that “movies such as E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind were carefully guided by representatives from MJ-12, who is this organization that is in charge of the coverup, in order to get us ready for the release of the information that there are indeed, aliens.”
Lear believed that everything started with the Roswell crash in 1947. He claimed that in September 1945, President Truman established MJ-12, and the purpose of that was to study the saucers and cover up the existence of UFOs. He told Knapp that four alien bodies were recovered from a crash and were autopsied by Dr. Detlev Bronk.
They were named “EBEs” (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) and three live EBEs were captured in different crashes. EBE1 lived with an Air Force Colonel between 1949 and 1952. The EBEs were kept in an electromagnetic facility called a YY-2, which was designed by Dr. Eric Wang who worked under Dr. Kissinger and was involved in the coverup of the incident since the beginning.
Lear said: “The reason they have to create an electromagnetic facility is the fact that the EBEs are so advanced, they’re there at least a half a billion years advanced from us, and probably more… And they can also disappear. But they can’t move by thought through an electromagnetic facility, so they built this facility. There was two, one in Los Alamos and one either Edwards (AFB) or at the Test Site.”
Lear discussed the existence of extraterrestrial beings at Groom Lake, Nevada, also known as Area 51. He stated that there was still a living extraterrestrial biological entity (EBE) known as EBE3 and that there was a tape of an interview with this being. However, Lear did not see the tape and was unaware of what language was used in the interviewers. He also mentioned that he had been given 25 secret CIA memos on his trip to gather information, and one of the memos mentioned that EBE3 wanted to see the ocean and that arrangements needed to be made or the EBE would “disappear again.”
Knapp asked if these beings can exist among us and if they need a special environment. Lear stated that they have a special environment, special air, and can only last about 20 minutes in Earth’s air.
Lear also claimed that the grey EBEs are the ones that are most commonly seen and that there are different motives for their presence on Earth. He suggested that a deal was made with them, as they are trying to regenerate their own race. This is because their digestive system is atrophied and they could no longer eat through their mouths. Instead, they obtain hormones and enzymes from cattle and spread it on their skin for nutrients, excreting the waste back to their skin.
On March 29, 1989, Lear and his friends including Bob Lazar recorded a video of the object, a glowing disc that rose from a facility on the outskirts of Area 51 that officially did not exist. Ironically, March 29 was the same date Lear died at his Las Vegas home, though many years later. (Source)
During the interview, Lear discussed his knowledge of two incidents involving UFOs. The first incident occurred in July 1987, when an enormous UFO is said to have followed a cargo plane over Anchorage, Alaska. The second incident took place in 1975, where UFOs were reportedly seen hovering over Strategic Air Command bases.
Knapp: You’ve said before you thought that a lot of their intentions were hostile and you’ve mentioned before that a lot of the sightings around the military bases. Why don’t we see them here? Las Vegas, we’ve got a lot of military bases here.
Lear: Well, the in fact there have been a lot of a lot of reports of UFOs in around Las Vegas, not specifically over the Air Force bases. We have the Test Site and of course, we don’t know what’s going on there, and we have Nellis Air Force Base. But there have not really been a lot of sightings over there. The main Air Force sightings were in 1975. And the UFOs descended on every Strategic Air Command base guarding the perimeter of the northern United States. They hovered over the nuclear weapons storage area and they stayed there with impunity for up to two and three hours over a period of three days.
“The problem is not only just the fact that there are five and as many as 10 different civilizations visiting us. Apparently, and this is from the research that I’ve done, at least 90% of them are hostile. And when I say hostile, if not hostile, they have a completely different set of morals than we do,” he added.
The following statement by the ex-CIA pilot is also worth noting: “The moon is an artificial body that was dragged to our planet, as a result of which an ice age broke out on Earth that killed all living things.” In fact, the circumstances of the appearance of the moon in outer space are not exactly known, and no one has seen the back of the moon.
Lear also explained in his interview how Moon had been created in Jupiter and brought to Earth’s orbit about 15,000 years ago, which was nearly around the last Ice Age. Besides, he said that the Greys are on the moon as well, but mainly remain underground within huge laboratories.
John Lear claimed that NASA sent astronauts to Mars in 1966, and that the astronauts had undergone extensive preparation for the mission, including taking drugs to adapt to the Martian climate. He also alleged that those astronauts were able to breathe the thin atmosphere on Mars, allowing for longer missions on the planet.
Lear mentioned that there are several notable figures from various fields, such as military, espionage, and aeronautics who corroborated these claims, including Colonel Philip Corso, David Wilcock, Glen Steckling, Henry Deacon, Barr Digregorio and Gilbert Levin, and they are not considered as madmen but are the key figures in space research.
Glowing Orb Over Lake Huron, Michigan July 19, 2023 UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 19, 2023
Location of sighting: Lake Huron, Michigan, USA
This UFO is similar to the UFOs seen by Dr Green off the coast of Florida, but this is over Lake Huron heading from East to West toward Lake Michigan. These lakes are the deepest in the US and can easily be hiding an alien city below the floors of the lakes. Many UFOs have been witnessed over the water and this one is proof of that. Often alien craft go exploring below the water to stay out of sighting and sometimes to transcend the depths to an alien city. This craft clearly had no concerns about being seen, but still...after glowing a minute or so...this object began to move away and fade until it was gone. A rare and fantastic glimpse at a UFO after it has left the water to prepare travel away.
Filmed on 2 locations over California: Strange lights hovering in the sky YESTERDAY
In a world where the extraordinary and unknown fascinate us, few things stoke the fire of our collective curiosity like the enigmatic subject of Unidentified Flying Objects. On July 20, 2023, two mesmerizing UFO sightings in California had both enthusiasts and skeptics buzzing with excitement and intrigue. Here’s the riveting narrative of these peculiar encounters that etched a distinct mark in the annals of UFO sightings.
The Solana Beach Enigma
On the warm, quiet evening of July 20, Solana Beach, California, was lit up with an astonishing spectacle that left onlookers in awe. Witnesses reported seeing a breathtaking formation of glowing orbs suspended in the night sky over the popular Del Mar racetrack.
In a perplexing ballet of lights, these multiple orbs remained stationary over the ocean, weaving in and out of various formations. Initially configured in a triangle, they seamlessly morphed into a circle before integrating into a fresh pattern. This mesmerizing dance repeated approximately five times, adding to the cryptic spectacle.
Then, as abruptly as they had appeared, the orbs vanished. Mysteriously, airplanes were subsequently observed returning to the area, raising further questions about this fascinating event.
Laguna Beach’s Floating Cylinder
Just a short distance away, another mysterious event unfolded on the same evening in Laguna Beach. Here, spectators witnessed an array of about ten lights lining up in the serene Californian sky. In an unexpected twist, four lights broke away from the formation, traveling upward and to the right. The remaining lights gradually faded into the darkness, leaving a captivating tableau for observers.
One keen spectator, equipped with high-powered binoculars, reported that the four lights were attached to a large, cylindrical object. This enigmatic cylinder seemed to hover in the sky with no visible means of propulsion, a sight that added another layer of intrigue to this already baffling phenomenon.
A Night to Remember
The UFO sightings in Solana Beach and Laguna Beach on July 20, 2023, have certainly added a new dimension to the UFO discourse. The sightings, both remarkable and unique in their own ways, provide fascinating fodder for enthusiasts, experts, and skeptics alike. As these peculiar events continue to be analyzed and discussed, they remind us that the world – and the skies above – are filled with endless wonders and mysteries yet to be deciphered.
Don’t forget to check out the accompanying video, which provides a riveting visual perspective of these unforgettable encounters. The awe-inspiring footage captured will undoubtedly fuel the intrigue surrounding these UFO sightings for many days to come.
The subject of Unidentified Flying Objects has been an intriguing topic of conversation for decades. Despite the contentiousness, it seems that now, more than ever, people across the globe and across the political spectrum are showing an unusual unity in their curiosity to understand the phenomena. The question “How do UFOs defy the laws of physics?” has created ripples in public discourse, triggering an “unprecedented” UFO hearing expected to take place next week.
It appears that the extraterrestrial enigmas are not only captivating the general public but also stirring up the political world. “If one thing can bring Democrats and Republicans together, it’s UFOs,” is a statement resonating through the political corridors. But the elusive nature of the information on UFOs is challenging, with accusations of a lack of transparency from governments. There is a growing demand to peel back layers of secrecy surrounding the subject.
While skeptics argue these UFOs might be advanced technology from competing nations like China or Russia, experts dismiss these theories as unlikely. This skepticism doesn’t just come from baseless beliefs, but from a strategic viewpoint. If these nations had such extraordinary technology, geopolitical landscapes would likely be vastly different. These aerial phenomena are perplexing observers due to their seemingly impossible capabilities: performing maneuvers that defy known laws of physics and surpassing the technological prowess of any known human weaponry.

How do UFOs defy the laws of physics? (20th July)
A notable feature of these UFOs is their ability to operate in a ‘trans medium’ manner, transitioning effortlessly from space to air to sea. They execute right angle turns at unprecedented speeds, defying the gravitational forces that our understanding of physics respects. This indicates technology far superior to our own, raising concerns about who controls these machines and their intentions.
An equally baffling mystery is the physical resilience of the beings operating these UFOs. The forces endured by these rapid maneuvers would be unbearable for the human body, suggesting the potential for extraterrestrial involvement.
Historically, UFOs have been part of human folklore and speculation even before the existence of structured defence bodies such as the Pentagon. The recurring theme of UFO sightings throughout human history suggests that this isn’t a new phenomenon but one that has been elusive and resistant to comprehension.
An air of anticipation surrounds the upcoming unprecedented hearing on UFOs. Witnesses, including military pilots who have encountered these phenomena, are expected to testify. Their accounts will not only shed light on the incidents but also emphasize the gravity of the situation, how these encounters could potentially disrupt military training and operations.
The UFO discourse is gaining momentum, moving from the periphery to the mainstream, from dismissal to serious scientific and political discourse. The imminent hearing signifies a landmark in our quest for answers and truth about UFOs. Despite the layers of mystery and secrecy surrounding UFOs, the collective curiosity and determination to uncover the truth are undeterred. The world is watching, waiting, and hoping for answers that could forever change our understanding of the universe and our place within it.
Brown dwarf W0623 is a gas giant that didn’t quite make it to stardom, but it’s still cool in more ways than one.
This brown dwarf’s surface isn’t even hot enough to melt copper. If you were to travel there, you’d burn your hand if you tried to touch it (please do not), but it wouldn’t melt the hull of your spaceship. That makes W0623 an easy object to underestimate, but recent observations suggest it’s doing something astronomers didn’t expect it to be able to do: sending bursts of radio waves toward Earth.
“It’s very rare to find ultracool brown dwarf stars like this producing radio emission. That’s because their dynamics do not usually produce the magnetic fields that generate radio emissions detectable from Earth,” says University of Sydney astrophysicist Kovi Rose in a statement. “Finding this brown dwarf producing radio waves at such a low temperature is a neat discovery.”
Brown dwarfs like W0623 are what happens when a gas giant like Jupiter keeps growing, but doesn’t manage to pack on enough mass to kickstart nuclear fusion in its core and become a real star. With somewhere between four and 44 times as much mass as Jupiter, packed into a slightly smaller radius, W0623’s core is dense and hot enough to occasionally fuse a few pairs of hydrogen atoms together, but not enough for the constant nuclear fusion that powers a real star. As a result, its surface is only 800 degrees Fahrenheit, about the temperature of a typical campfire.
“These stars are kind of a missing link between the smallest stars that burn hydrogen in nuclear reactions and the largest gas giant planets, like Jupiter,” says Rose.
This image shows the relative size of a brown dwarf star; it’s about the same size as Jupiter but several times more massive, and it’s noticeably smaller than a red dwarf star.

Only about 10 percent of these “missing links” emit radio waves strong enough to detect from Earth, so W0623 is already in rarefied company. It’s also the coolest brown dwarf astronomers have ever heard broadcasting radio waves.
Typically, stars — and a handful of brown dwarfs — send radio waves out into space thanks to how their powerful magnetic fields interact with electrically charged gas in their upper atmospheres. If the magnetic field rotates at a different speed than the atmosphere, it creates an electrical current, streams of electrons flowing from one part of the magnetic field to another. That current also produces radio waves. And because stars rotate, the radio waves seem to “pulse” as the part of the star that’s actually transmitting turns toward Earth.
Gas giants like Jupiter produce radio waves, too. But they’re not as “loud” as the radio signal put out by a star like our Sun, or even a red dwarf like TRAPPIST-1, so it’s not likely that alien astronomers would be able to detect them from even a few dozen light years away.
Astronomers first spotted W0623 in 2011, and Rose and his colleagues discovered its surprising radio waves during recent observations with the Australian Square Kilometer Array Pathfinder radio telescope (ASKAP), the Australia Telescope Compact Array, and the MeerKAT radio telescope in South Africa.
NASA’s Psyche Mission Enters Home Stretch Before Launch

Engineers and technicians at Cape Canaveral are preparing the Psyche spacecraft for liftoff, which is slated for Oct. 5.
With less than 100 days to go before its Oct. 5 launch, NASA’s Psyche spacecraft is undergoing final preparations at Cape Canaveral, Florida. Teams of engineers and technicians are working almost around the clock to ensure the orbiter is ready to journey 2.5 billion miles (4 billion kilometers) to a metal-rich asteroid that may tell us more about planetary cores and how planets form.
The mission team recently completed a comprehensive test campaign of the flight software and installed it on the spacecraft, clearing the hurdle that kept Psyche from making its original 2022 launch date.

“The team and I are now counting down the days to launch,” said Henry Stone, Psyche’s project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California. “Our focus has shifted to safely completing the final mechanical closeout of the spacecraft and preparing the team for operations. The team is conducting numerous training activities to ensure that we are prepared and ready. It’s a very busy time, but everyone is very excited and looking forward to the launch.”
Psyche is set to launch atop a SpaceX Falcon Heavy (the first interplanetary launch for that rocket) from Space Launch Complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center at 10:38 a.m. EDT (7:38 a.m. PDT) on Oct. 5, with additional opportunities scheduled through Oct. 25. After escaping Earth’s gravity, the Psyche spacecraft will use solar electric propulsion to accomplish its six-year journey to asteroid Psyche.
Measuring about 173 miles (279 kilometers) at its widest point, the asteroid Psyche presents a unique opportunity to explore a metal-rich body that may be part of a core of a planetesimal, the building block of an early planet. Once the spacecraft reaches Psyche in the main asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter, it will spend at least 26 months orbiting the asteroid, gathering images and other data that will tell scientists more about its history and what it is made of.
Next Steps
But first, a team of 30 or so engineers and technicians will wrap up the assembly, test, and launch operations phase of the mission. The team recently finished several weeks of functional testing of the science instruments as well as the spacecraft hardware and software.
After removing the last of the cables that snake around the hardware for testing, they’ll “close out” the spacecraft by reinstalling some exterior panels that had been removed for access and complete the thermal blanketing. Later in July, they will integrate and test the deployment of the enormous solar arrays. Then, in mid-August, a crew will begin slowly loading all 2,392 pounds (1,085 kilograms) of propellant – the neutral gas xenon – onto the spacecraft over the course of a couple weeks.
Luis Dominguez, the systems and electrical lead for assembly, test, and launch operations, is usually based at JPL but has been working full time at the Cape since early June. “We are moving forward,” he said, “and we’re confident that when we’re on the pad, we’ll be ready to hit the button. For all of us, we’ll be excited to launch this bird.”
More About the Mission
Arizona State University leads the Psyche mission. A division of Caltech in Pasadena, JPL is responsible for the mission’s overall management, system engineering, integration and test, and mission operations. Maxar Technologies in Palo Alto, California, provided the high-power solar electric propulsion spacecraft chassis.
JPL also is providing a technology demonstration instrument called Deep Space Optical Communications that will fly on Psyche in order to test high-data-rate laser communications that could be used by future NASA missions.
Psyche is the 14th mission selected as part of NASA’s Discovery Program, managed by the agency’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama.

Billions of years before creatures big and small arose on this planet, the molecular building blocks of life drifted across the universe.
These complex carbon molecules of the ancient past are beginning to appear unto the ultrasensitive instruments aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). And when this cosmic dust reveals itself, as it does in a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, scientists are seeing symptoms of what was going on when the universe first evolved into how it looks today. And as an added bonus, the cosmic dust reveals a through line between modern Earth and Cosmic Dawn.
As often is the case, sometimes science raises more questions than it answers. The new research, helmed by cosmologist Joris Witstok, found evidence for complex carbon molecules dating as far back as when the universe was just 5 percent its current age, about 700 million years after the Big Bang. The finding can deepen the scientific portrait of where these crucial molecules were first forged. But simultaneously, it raises questions about how fast and how early the universe generated the stars living inside the early galaxies.
A portion of the sky revealed through the JADES program, short for JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey.
Between October 21 and 25, 2022, JWST observed 253 sources with two of its instruments designed to pry apart the light pooled from great distances. Researchers then studied the data to narrow down the chemical composition of that distant source. Each object received exposure times ranging from 9.3 hours to 28 hours, according to the paper.
Within this light from the early universe, researchers found an ultraviolet light attenuation “bump.” This feature in the data is associated with the presence of complex, carbon-based dust grains.
These dust particles are smaller than the everyday dust we deal with in our daily lives, according to JWST scientist and paper co-author Irene Shivaei. Yet, these ancient grains are complex enough to suggest that stars were churning at earlier time periods than models suggest.
The team performed this work through a collaboration known as JADES, short for JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, an initiative Witstok says is “really aimed at extragalactic science.”
REVELATIONS AND QUESTIONS
Seeing this dust so far back in time was a big surprise, Shivaei tells Inverse via email.
This cosmic dust is found just 700 million years after the Big Bang; for perspective, the Universe is about 13.7 billion years old. The dust that produced the ultraviolet “bump” in JWST data heralds from an era called Cosmic Dawn, or the Reionization Era. As the National Science Foundation describes it, this is the time when stars “turned on” for the first time.
Astronomers do expect to find dust and elements heavier than hydrogen and helium in the early universe. But the ultraviolet data suggests these complex dust grains were surprisingly abundant and arising earlier than predicted. One possibility is that the carbon grains are forming on short timescales.
“I think that’s quite special to see, that we’re really able to reach the origins of one of the most important building blocks, or types of material that eventually would form stars and also for example the planets in our Solar System,” Witstok tells Inverse.
WHAT COMES NEXT
The dust is special because it is complex, and formed via certain paths. According to Shivaei, the stars living in the ancient galaxies must have evolved enough to produce these complex grains. And according to the paper, the reservoirs of cosmic dust were as large as 100,000,000 times the mass of the Sun.
“This is in tension with the theories and the time available to the stars to evolve in early galaxies,” Shivaei says.
A next step could involve consulting theorists to form more accurate models about how the dust’s presence can constrain certain details of Cosmic Dawn, and narrow down what astronomers think happened when galaxies first began to evolve.
Thankfully, astronomers have a great tool at their fingertips. Shivaei says, “JWST has opened a new window to our understanding of the universe.”
Wat als de asteroïde ter grootte van flatgebouw wél richting aarde vloog: “We kunnen duwtje geven”
Een asteroïde zo groot als een flatgebouw suisde vorige week vlak langs de aarde. Wat als het projectiel - dat niet werd opgemerkt door ruimtediensten - recht op de planeet was geklapt? Vincent Icke, hoogleraar Sterrenkunde, legt uit wat de gevolgen hadden kunnen zijn.
Het Europese Ruimteagentschap (ESA) houdt normaal gesproken een geruststellend oogje in het zeil wat betreft asteroïden die onze kant opvliegen. Vorige week passeerde er óngezien eentje met een doorsnede van 60 meter - een groot appartementencomplex - op 100.000 kilometer van de aarde.”Dat is héél dichtbij”, benadrukt Vincent Icke, hoogleraar Sterrenkunde aan de Universiteit Leiden. “Als een asteroïde dichterbij komt dan de afstand tot de maan, moeten we opletten. Deze kwam vier keer zo dichtbij.”
Om te weten wat er had kunnen gebeuren als ‘2023-NT1’ wel richting aarde was gevlogen, hoeven we maar naar 2013 te kijken. Toen sloeg een meteoor in vlakbij de Russische stad Tsjeljabinsk in. Icke:”Ze hebben proberen na te gaan hoe groot die asteroïde was voordat die onze dampkring inkwam. Waarschijnlijk had die een diameter van 30 meter. Acht keer minder massa als deze.”
Op filmpjes van de Russische inslag is te zien dat er brokstukken afbreken terwijl de meteoor als een vuurbal door de lucht vloog. Door de enorme explosie en schokgolven versplinterden zo’n beetje alle ruiten in de stad en werden deuren opengeblazen. Meer dan duizend mensen raakten gewond.
De asteroïde van vorige week bleef verborgen in de schittering van de zon. Maar vooral omdat-ie zo klein was. Een flatgebouw klinkt als iets fors, maar dat valt in het niet bij de getallen in de sterrenkunde. “Alles kleiner dan een kilometer stelt niks voor”, vertelt Icke. “De asteroïde was heel klein, ging supersnel en heeft ook nog eens een heel donker oppervlak. Als een zwart krijtbord. Dat is bijna niet te zien.”
Voltreffer in bewoond gebied
Tot zover de bangmakerij, nu de geruststelling. Asteroïden van deze grootte komen, zo schat Icke, eens in de tien jaar in de buurt van de aarde. Volgens ESA treffen ze statistisch gezien eens in de vijftig tot honderd jaar de aarde.”En die bestaat voor twee derde uit water, waar het weinig uitmaakt. De kans op een voltreffer in bewoond gebied is veel kleiner. Maar als die in de buurt van een stad komt, wordt het wel heel onprettig. Dan praat je over duizenden slachtoffers door bijvoorbeeld rondvliegend glas. De kans dat een afgebroken stuk van de meteoor jou raakt, is heel klein, maar wel dodelijk.”
Verzengende hitte, gewelddadige schokgolven en torenhoge tsunami’s: daar praat je pas over als de asteroïden veel groter zijn. Een kilometer of breder. En van de stenen met die grootte hebben we het gros wel in beeld. Als die recht op aarde afkomen, is actie nodig. “Maar je moet ze niet opblazen tot kleine stukjes. Vergelijk het met hagel: daarmee raak je ook meer dan met een een gewone kogel”, zegt Icke. De kunst is het veranderen van de koers, liefst als de asteroïde nog ver van de aarde is verwijderd.
Dat kan door er met een ruimtevaartuig tegenaan te knallen. Of, optie twee, door het inzetten van een stuwraket. “Daarmee kun je de asteroïde als het ware een duwtje geven. Het is heel moeilijk om zo’n raket erop te laten landen, vooral bij zo’n heel kleine als vorige week. Maar we kunnen het wel”, zegt Icke. Om daar als conclusie aan toe te voegen: “Dus er is geen reden om hierover ’s nachts wakker te liggen.”
Last Monday Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee tweeted that the House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing next week about UFOs, officially called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) as well as he wrote that we're done with the cover-ups.
Indeed, we're done with the UFO cover-ups and people need answers but it's not a recent issue. Back in 1992/1993 already there was a grass-roots disclosure activism movement whose purpose was to demand the end of the UFO cover-up, and more specifically, to end to all sociological/political suppression of extra-terrestrial contact.
This disclosure activism movement 'Operation Right To Know', which is still active on Facebook, was founded in 1992 by Ed Komarek and Mike Jamieson.
It started in the US, but then spread to the UK as well. Several demonstrations were held, including two demonstrations at the White House. The second one, in July 1993, received mainstream media attention.
The idea of the first White House demonstration was to make the statement to the UFO community that a UFO cover up was first and foremost a political problem deserving of political solutions. They believed that because the data was being manipulated for political reasons one could not do good scientific work on the subject. They believed that the UFO community had been covertly redirected away from political solutions and into ineffective scientific solutions from the time of the Late Donald Keyhoe.
In the second demonstration, see video below, the idea was to prod the mainstream press into getting involved even if the propagandists in the press tried to make us look silly which they did their best to do. Heavy hitting SETI debunkers like Dr. Frank Drake had to come on at 3 the next morning to debunk them. They hoped that if they made a big enough stir in spite of the ridicule and the debunking some in the press would think that where there is smoke their may be fire. Soon afterward shows began to appear on TV like Sightings.
Unfortunately, they were unable to ignite a widespread uprising in the public domain a impossible task at the time. But times have changed significantly since the days of Operation Right To Know (ORTK), and the UFO phenomenon has indeed gained substantial attention across various media platforms. In recent years, there has been a notable shift in public interest and acceptance of the possibility of extraterrestrial encounters.
With the rise of social media and alternative news outlets, UFO-related information and sightings have become more accessible and widely discussed. Additionally, mainstream media has been covering UFO-related stories with greater frequency and seriousness, shedding more light on the subject.
The pressure on governments to address the UFO issue transparently has intensified. there have been efforts by bipartisan groups of senators in the United States to push for greater UFO disclosure. If such efforts gain momentum and public support, it could lead to the declassification of government records related to UFOs, potentially revealing more information about past encounters and investigations.
It's important to note that government agencies, such as The Pentagon, may be influenced by congressional inquiries, which could prompt them to take a more transparent approach in sharing what they know about UFOs.
But despite the increasing attention from various media sources and the involvement of government officials in seeking disclosure it is the question whether the government is going to come out and tell the people what they know about UFOs.
Well, as I said, it's not a recent issue, they've been lying and covering this up for almost 80 years and now they are going to suddenly tell the truth? I hope I'm wrong but I don't see it happen soon but as time goes on, we may witness further developments and revelations in the realm of UFO disclosure, driven by the changing attitudes of both the public and those in positions of authority.
UFO Sightings Over Marina Del Rey – An Unforgettable Afternoon
In an era teeming with curiosity about the inexplicable, UFO sightings have become a captivating global narrative. Today, we spotlight a post recently uploaded to Reddit, that takes us back to an intriguing incident in Marina Del Rey, CA. The event unfolded on the afternoon of July 18th, 2021, but has just now caught the public eye, sparking renewed fervor in UFO enthusiasts around the globe.
As the golden California sun bathed Marina Del Rey in a warm afternoon glow, something extraordinary appeared in the azure skies. It was not an airplane, nor was it a bird. It was something that couldn’t be easily identified, something that has been intriguing mankind for centuries – a UFO.
A local eyewitness reported seeing three bright, luminescent dots that first formed a triangular pattern, a formation common in many recorded UFO sightings. But then, in a twist that made this event even more interesting, the objects shifted into a three-dotted line. The dots seemed to move with a level of coherence and precision that dismissed any chance of them being floating debris or atmospheric phenomena. The distance, however, made it challenging to discern the specifics of the objects, leaving a lot to the viewer’s imagination.
Our pursuit of the truth behind these UFO sightings isn’t just about curiosity. It’s about exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life, about venturing into the limitless expanse of the cosmos. Sightings like these are the puzzle pieces that might one day complete the picture.
The witness’s account of the UFO sighting in Marina Del Rey echoes many similar reports worldwide. Such incidents stimulate curiosity and inspire explorations into the uncharted territories of our vast universe. Could these be extraterrestrial visitors or merely inexplicable natural phenomena? The jury is still out.
Stay tuned as we delve further into this UFO sighting and others. Who knows what astonishing revelations await us in the cosmic ocean?
In the realm of the unknown, UFO sightings are the ultimate frontier. And with every new sighting, we are a step closer to unveiling the mysteries that the universe holds. From the distant skies of Marina Del Rey to the far reaches of the cosmos, join us in our journey of discovery.

A Whopper of a Storm Speeds Towards Earth | Space Weather News 20 July 2023
Our Sun has been extremely busy this week firing off so many glancing solar storm blows that the media has had a hard time keeping track of all of the action. In particular Region 3363 has been a major source of this activity, topping things off with a whopper of a solar storm launch on 17 July during an M5.7-flare. This solar storm is predicted to graze Earth sometime by mid-day July 20. Aurora photographers should keep their batteries charged as not only this, but one more storm following it have upped aurora chances through the 22 July. Amateur radio operators and GPS users should also stay vigilant this week as we still have a heightened risk for radio blackouts on Earth's dayside. Add to that the solar storm impacts on Earth's nightside over the next few days and that means radio signal disruptions will be a common occurrence, day or night, over the next few days. Learn the details of the coming solar storm, watch as we say goodbye to Region 3363, and see what new activity our Sun has in store has in store this week.

NASA Researches Find "Alien Life" Conditions On Saturns Moon Enceladus
Saturn is one of the planets that keep on fascinating scientists. Even though they have been studying Saturn since the 17th century, they have barely scratched the surface of this interesting planet. It is the second-largest planet after Jupiter and the sixth planet from the sun. Like its twin, Jupiter, it is called a gas giant because it is composed of hydrogen and helium. Saturn is one-eighth the average density of the Earth, but it is over 95 times larger than the Earth. It has a pale yellow hue due to the presence of ammonia crystals in its upper atmosphere. It also has a prominent ring system that comprises mainly ice particles with a small amount of rocky debris and dust.

On July 13, a dangerous asteroid nearly hit the Earth! And NASA didn't know it was there!
On July 13, 2023, a newly discovered asteroid came very close to hitting our planet. Unfortunately, we didn't discover it until two days after the close encounter. What would've happened if this object had hit us with no warning? What can we do to keep this from happening again?
About 370 light years away, in the infant star system PDS-70, astronomers may have just caught an exoplanet pulling itself together on the same orbit as its giant sibling.
We already know that more than one object can share the same orbit; Jupiter has a collection of 120,000 asteroids following its same path around the Sun, for example. Earth has one, too. But although it’s theoretically possible, astronomers have never discovered two whole planets sharing the same orbit around a star before.
“Who could imagine worlds that share the duration of the year and the habitability conditions? Our work is the first evidence that this kind of world could exist,” says Olga Balsalobre-Ruza of the Centre for Astrobiology in a recent statement. She and her colleagues published their findings in the journal Astronomy and Astrophysics.
THIS GAS GIANT WILL HAVE A LITTLE BUDDY — AND SOME MOONS
The large solid line shows PDS-70b's path around its star. The smaller solid line circles PDS-70b itself, while the dotted line circles the newly-spotted debris cloud.
ALMA
PDS-70 is a very young star system, only about 5.4 million years old, so young that planets are still coalescing from the disk of gas and dust surrounding the small star. It’s one of the few exoplanet systems that astronomers have managed to image directly; from Earth, we appear to be looking straight up (or straight down) into the system. At least two planets, both gas giants, have formed so far: PDS-70b and PDS-70c. There may be others soon; astronomers can see gaps in the dust that forms the disks, which may mark the orbits of planets in various stages of forming.
Balsalobre-Ruza and her colleagues recently spotted a cloud of debris about twice the mass of our Moon trailing a bit behind the innermost gas giant, PDS-70b. The debris could be the building blocks of a new little planet, or it could be a cloud surrounding a young planet that’s already formed. PDS-70b itself is so young that it’s still surrounded by its own little disk of gas and rocky debris, which will eventually coalesce into moons (PDS-70c also has a disk of moon material still swirling around it).
The debris cloud is in exactly the right spot for what astronomers call a Trojan object (the name comes from Jupiter’s merry band of asteroids, mentioned above, which were originally named after Trojan heroes from The Iliad; now it’s a catch-all term for any objects that share an orbit in the same way). It’s in what’s called a Lagrangian zone, a region in a planet’s orbit where objects — like asteroids — can be trapped thanks to the balance between the planet’s gravity and the star’s gravity.
“[Exoplanet Trojans] have so far been like unicorns: They are allowed to exist by theory, but no one has ever detected them,” says coauthor Jorge Lillo-Box, also of the Centre for Astrobiology, in a recent statement.
As if the orbital situation in PDS-70 wasn’t complicated enough, PDS-70b and PDS-70c are in a nearly 1:2 orbital resonance, which means that PDS-70b completes roughly one orbit in the time it takes its outermost neighbor, PDS-70c, to complete roughly two orbits. It’s entirely possible that every time these two planets pass each other on a lap around their star, their mutual gravitational attraction will pull them closer to being in a true resonance. And it’s not clear how that might affect PDS-70b’s Trojan follower.
Balsalobre-Ruza and her colleagues discovered the debris cloud in archived data from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a telescope in the highlands of Chile. They’ll have to wait a few years to confirm that what they’ve found really is orbiting the star on the same path as PDS-70b, though; it takes the gas giant about 120 years to make a complete lap around the star, so it will take a few years before the planet, or the debris cloud, will have moved enough for astronomers to confirm that they’re actually moving together.
A stealthy asteroid the size of a 20-story building hid in the sun's glare before zooming uncomfortably close to Earth on July 13. Scientists didn't notice until July 15.

An asteroidas large as a 20-story building sailed uncomfortably close to Earth last week, zooming by our planet at roughly a quarter of the distance between Earth and the moon — and astronomers didn't notice it until two days later.
Now dubbed 2023 NT1, the roughly 200-foot-wide (60 meters) space rock sailed past our planet on July 13, traveling at an estimated 53,000 mph (86,000 km/h), according to NASA. However, because the rock flew toward Earth from the direction of the sun, our star's glare blinded telescopes to the asteroid's approach until long after it had passed.
Astronomers didn't catch wind of the building-size rock until July 15, when a telescope in South Africa — part of the Asteroid Terrestrial-impact Last Alert System (ATLAS), an array of telescopes designed to spot asteroids several days to weeks before any potential impact — caught the rock making its exit from our neighborhood. More than a dozen other telescopes also spotted the rock shortly afterward, according to the International Astronomical Union's Minor Planet Center.

Despite this surprise approach, asteroid 2023 NT1 isn't large enough to be considered a potentially hazardous object; after calculating the asteroid's trajectory for the next decade, astronomers say there's no imminent risk of an impact. In fact, recent research suggests that Earth is safe from asteroids — at least from large, extinction-inducing ones — for the next 1,000 years.
Still, the sun remains a well-known blind spot in the search for near-Earth asteroids — and 2023 NT1 is hardly the first stealthy space rock to slip past our detection. In 2013, a roughly 59-foot-long (18 m) asteroid followed a similar path through the sun's glare and went undetected before exploding in the sky over Chelyabinsk, Russia. The explosion released a shock wave that damaged buildings and shattered glass for miles around, ultimately injuring nearly 1,500 people (but killing none).
While scientists closely monitor more than 31,000 known near-Earth asteroids, they are well aware of the dangers posed by the solar blind spot. To address this threat, the European Space Agency is hard at work on the NEOMIR mission. The satellite, scheduled to launch around 2030, will orbit between Earth and the sun in an effort to detect large asteroids hidden in our star's shine.
Niemand zag het aankomen: asteroïde die langs aarde scheerde pas twee dagen later gespot
Een onbekende en letterlijk ongeziene asteroïde passeerde afgelopen donderdag tussen onze aarde en de maan. De ontdekking werd pas twee dagen later gedaan: ‘2023-NT1’, zoals de asteroïde is gedoopt, naderde onze aarde namelijk met de zon in de rug. Daarover schrijven ‘7sur7’ en ‘The Independent’.
De asteroïde, met een diameter van bijna zestig meter, passeerde op 13 juli onze aarde op ongeveer 100.000 kilometer. Dat is een afstand gelijk aan een kwart van de afstand tussen onze planeet en de maan. Maar het object, dat 11.000 kilometer per seconde aflegt, naderde onze planeet met de zon in de rug. “Verborgen in de schittering van onze zon is er een onbekend aantal asteroïden die zich op trajecten bevinden die we niet kunnen volgen”, aldus het Europese ruimteagentschap ESA.
Het zou volgens ESA om tot wel een miljoen asteroïden, met een diameter van 30 tot 100 meter, kunnen gaan. En 98,9 procent daarvan is nog onontdekt, zegt het ruimteagentschap.
ESA heeft dan ook een missie gelanceerd (NEOMIR) om deze “onzichtbare” asteroïden tegen 2030 te kunnen ontdekken. In 2013 sloeg een meteoriet in Tsjeljabinsk, Rusland, in de Oeral. Die asteroïde had een doorsnee van 20 meter. Bij de inslag kwam zo’n 20 tot 30 keer zo veel energie vrij als bij de atoombom van Hiroshima. Bijna duizend mensen raakten gewond. “Niemand zag het aankomen. Statistisch gezien treffen asteroïden van deze omvang eens in de 50 tot 100 jaar de aarde”, benadrukt de ESA.
Gemiddeld treft een asteroïde van een meter doorsnee elke twee weken de aarde. Maar ze richten geen schade aan, omdat ze in de atmosfeer vergaan.
I was exploring the LROC moon map of Arizona State University and found something thought provoking in the south pole region of the moon. There is a 9.51km long alien base in a crater. Most of it is hovering above the ground...about .75km to 1.5km above the craters floor. Of course with a lower gravity, such a thing is totally possible on the moon. And since it sits on the crater floor center area, most astronomers would not notice it, since its walls may hide it from Earths view. Still, undeniable proof that aliens live on Earths moon.
Also, I did zero editing of these screenshots, they are 100% the same as found on the moon map.

This dark craft was seen over Scottsdale yesterday. The object is moving with the direction of the wind, but oddly as he takes notice of the craft the UFO flashes him several times in the video in his direction. This looks like a deliberate action on the UFOs part and is all I need to confirm that this is a real alien craft.

Witnessed a dark floating geometric orb at 4:38pm on 7/18/2023 while I was in the pool in Scottsdale, AZ. Black/dark grey in appearance and had some flat faces similar to a 10 sided die that, when rotating, caught and reflected the sunlight. Captured video on my phone. Note, the object was moving West to East with the wind as indicated by the direction of the palm fronds in the video.
UFOs Over Northwest Las Vegas, Nevada 7-18-2023 UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: 7-18-2023
Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Source: MUFON
Watch this video footage and you will notice several glowing objects moving across the tops of the mountains in Las Vegas. The objects seem to be communicating and waiting for each other to organize and leave. The movement of the craft indicates that they are probably trying to get a newer pilot use to it before leaving. Such UFOs often are seen behind the old firing range of Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. It's said that a Tall White alien base was made back there with the agreement of the US gov in exchange for technology. Yeah...I believe these UFOs originated from there.

Eyewitness states:
I went up to our rooftop deck. We are in Northwest Las Vegas just a few blocks from the geographic formation called "Lone Mountain". I have reported 2 or 3 other sightings from our rooftop deck since we moved here in 2015. I often go up to the roof to look at the famous "Strip" which is visible to our East-Southest. Tonight I was sitting and enjoying the warm evening air when I spotted a bright white light coming from the direction of Area 51 which is 150 miles Northwest from our house. I turned on the camera of my I-Phone 12 and started to record. As the light came closer it turned slightly to the right towards me (east) and I then realized it was an airplane. I stopped recording and was about to put my I-Phone away. Instead I noticed 2 white lights emerge from behind Lone Mountain and they were headed due west. They seemed perfectly spaced apart. The light was constant from them. I turned my i-Phone back on.
The airplane I was recording previously was still visible below the 2 lights as it headed in the opposite direction, but you can see it has blinking colored lights. I continued to record the 2 steady lights above and followed them as they seemed to head west over the Sheep Mountain Range which is about 15 miles north of us. The lead light then seemed to burn out after 30 seconds or so.
After another few seconds, the second light then burned out as well. Nothing seemed to remain of either light. Both were steady and followed a seemingly level path parallel to the ground before disappearing.
2,000 year old Nazca Ant Drawing Found In Peru, UFO Sighting News.
Date of discovery: July 18, 2023
Location of discovery:Peru
Location of discovery: 14°59'58.83"S 75° 0'56.54"W
I found something in Peru using Google Earth map. I found what I thought was an ant carved into the ground. Most Nazca lines were created over 2,000 years ago by the people of the Nazca culture. This particular drawing has never before been reported before today. It's easy to understand why, it's hard to see. It was so hard that I clicked the history button to see past photos of that area and found that the best image of it is from 1/2016 as you can see in the screenshots here. The ant has three main body parts unlike a spider which has two. So this is an ant. Its antenna really stick out. However ants have six legs, this little fellow has 6 legs on one side and 7 on the other. No ant has 13 legs so wow! Never before seen or reported by anyone. They were often said to be messages created as signs to the gods or aliens above.
Divers encounter enormous ‘doomsday"' deep sea fish off the coast of Ruifang, Taiwan
Divers off Taiwan were mesmerized after encountering a giant oarfish off the coast of Ruifang, Taiwan.
In the enchanting footage, divers can be seen encircling the shimmery silver critter as it hovers near the surface. At one point, one of the divers reaches out and touches the alleged doomsaying denizen of the deep.
Remarkable, the oar fish had several round bite marks believed to have been caused by a shark.
Diving instructor Wang Checng-Ru said that the oarfish must have been dying so it swam into shallower waters, however, locals believe this creature, which typically inhabit depths ranging from 656 to 3200 feet below the ocean's surface, is a harbinger of an impending earthquake or other misfortune.
Harvard Scientist Suggests Potential Discovery of Alien Technology
In a stirring announcement from Harvard, a team of intrepid researchers, led by the renowned Professor Avi Loeb, claimed to have potentially unearthed fragments of what could be alien technology. The fragments were meticulously retrieved from a meteor that plunged into the ocean near Papua New Guinea in 2014.
A typical morning turned into a historic moment when an enigmatic meteor was found to contain unexpected materials. This ground-breaking discovery could reshape our understanding of the cosmos and bring us closer to answering the age-old question: are we alone in the universe?
Instead of peering into the abyss of the cosmos through telescopes, these researchers have switched to a micro-scale approach, investigating under microscopes. The microscopic explorers of the universe have discovered a multitude of metallic spheres amidst the recovered debris. These metallic marbles from the depths of the ocean floor have captured the imagination of scientists across the globe.
Identifying these materials proved a challenging feat, as the team had to filter out minuscule particles from magnetic material collected from the ocean floor. While this might sound like a scene from a science fiction movie, these determined researchers managed to acquire the material and then embark on an extensive examination to reveal its secrets.
Interestingly, it’s not just the size or shape of these spheres that’s fascinating. Data suggests that the strength of these meteorite fragments is significantly higher than the majority of space rocks cataloged by NASA. This raises a tantalizing question: could these fragments be of technological, rather than natural, origin? Could they be remains of some alien technology, zipping through interstellar space?
The mysterious nature of these fragments conjures up images of interstellar voyages, like NASA’s Voyager spacecraft. Imagine if Voyager was on a similar trajectory, colliding with a planet in a distant star system and disintegrating, leaving only traces of its existence that journey through the cosmos and ultimately land on an alien world. Could these microscopic fragments be the messengers of such a voyage, sent by an unknown civilization?

The speed at which this particular meteor moved – faster than 95% of stars in our solar vicinity – adds another layer of intrigue to this interstellar riddle. The meteor’s remnants that the team retrieved might contain clues to its astounding speed and unusual strength.
To add to the mystique, this is the first time an object from another solar system has been identified and retrieved by our planet’s residents. The meteor was roughly half a meter in size, and when it exploded above the Pacific Ocean, it released energy equivalent to a small percentage of the Hiroshima atomic bomb. The aftermath of this explosion left behind a trail of melted droplets, concentrated in a specific region of the ocean.
The real revelation, however, would be if these droplets could be proven to be artificial in origin. Imagine if we find traces of semiconductors or an unusually high concentration of rare elements, which are typically not found in such quantities in nature. This would be a game-changer, potentially pointing to an advanced civilization’s interstellar craft debris.
As scientists analyze the material and continue their quest for answers, one thing is certain: this investigation has the potential to be a historical turning point. Even if these fragments turn out to be of natural origin, we stand to learn much about the universe and our place in it. For now, we eagerly await the next chapter in this exciting voyage of discovery.
Pink disc seen from plane, Tennessee, May 24, 2023, UFO Sighting News. .
Date of sighting:May 24, 2023
Location of sighting: Over Tennessee, USA
Source: MUFON
This report just came in today. A person was on a passenger jet when they noticed that a pink glowing disk was outside. The disk is on top of the cloud ceiling and is brightly lit up. The footage reveals much about it. It shows the color, luminosity, size and shape of the craft. The size is close to that of a 747 jet. This UFO was caught during sunset, which is one of the best times to go out UFO hunting. The setting sun disrupts the cloak of the UFO due to the sun being below and at a right angle of the UFO. The cloak cannot function properly that way and is visible to people above the craft.

While flying to ATL from DTW on May 24 between 8:30 and 9pm. I was sitting in a window seat and caught out the corner of my eye a bright ink disc just cursing long not to far off the right side. I recorded and took a pic of the sighting.
Two Orbs Caught On Animal Cam, May 28, 2023, UFO Sighting News
Date of sighting: May 28, 2023
Location of sighting: Nieuwschans, Netherlands
Watch this raw footage of an animal cam recording creatures going to the water hole for a drink. This little rat is seen twice trying to get a drink, but each time he get too frighted of these two flying orbs near him. Animals an sense things that humans cannot, they also often have great night vision so they can see in the dark the things that are hidden from our own eyes.
