Dr. Michael Salla – Humanity Joining the Galactic Federation

COAST TO COAST AM – 2022. Former university professor in international relations, Dr. Michael Salla, is the author/editor of nine books dealing with exopolitics, ET groups, and secret space programs. In the first half, he shared details about the Galactic Federation, a cosmic organization that he believes is composed of various extraterrestrial races. As evidence, he cited the testimony of Prof. Haim Eshed, former head of Israel’s Defense Ministry’s space directorate, who specifically mentioned Earth’s contact with the Galactic Federation. Eshed said that cooperative agreements had been worked out between the US government and the Federation, including involvement with an underground base on Mars. Salla also cited how some of the early contactees dating back to the 1950s, like George Van Tassel spoke about the Federation and Ashtar Command. Ultimately, the end game is for humanity to join the Galactic Federation for a kind of “Star Trek” future, Salla explained.

It should be noted that all the cases investigated and recorded by Preston Dennett are based on real events. He began studying UFOs and the paranormal in 1986 when he discovered that his family, friends, and co-workers were having dramatic unexplained encounters. Since then, he has interviewed hundreds of witnesses and investigated a wide variety of paranormal phenomena. He is a field investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a ghost hunter, a paranormal researcher, and the author of 28 books and more than 100 articles on UFOs and the paranormal.

In his book, “Wondrous: 25 True UFO Encounters,” published in 2021, Dennett presented the encounters of Julia (pseudonym) and what she learned from Grey called Sen about her own encounters and the alien agenda on our planet.

At 19 years old, Julia left her family and home in Prunedale, California. Her childhood had been difficult, filled with unexplained events. She had tried to get help from her parents, but they were strict and did not understand her. So, Julia left everything behind and decided to get as far away from her home as she could.

She ended up settling on the east coast of the United States, where she began to rebuild her life. She found a job and a place to live. She started her own small business, made friends, and met the man who would one day become her husband.

• Aliens From Andromeda Told US Army Personnel That Humans Are Composite of 22 different E.T. races
• FBI 1947 Declassified Report: Giant Aliens Visit Earth From Another Dimension

Finally secure, she began to examine her childhood, trying to figure out the source of her trauma. She remembered terrifying events during which her room was filled with light and shadowy figures approached her. She came upon the subject of aliens and UFOs. She realized that it was probably what had happened. It was aliens. But the whole idea terrified her and she refused to think about it.

She decided to just drop the subject not to think about it and move on with her life, but in 2011 everything changed. She had a sudden and very strong impulse to move back to California and as she said, “I honestly can’t tell you why I felt like I was being directed to do this.”

So, she and her boyfriend moved to pacific grove California and this is when her life started to get really strange again. She started having some weird harmonic ringing sounds in her ear, and her right ear was like tinnitus. She went to the doctor, but he could not explain it. There were no insects in her ear canal as she feared, and it was not tinnitus. The doctor had no diagnosis.

UFO Sightings

Then came the UFO sightings, weird glowing orbs hovering over the house. One evening, there was a ship overhead. Julia saw it through the skylight above her bed. The next thing she knew, she was paralyzed. A short time later, she fell asleep.

In the morning, she told everything her boyfriend. She could no longer live in denial. The memories of her childhood experience were flooding back. The excruciating tones in her right ear were becoming unbearable. UFOs were hovering over their house, and she finally found the reason for her problems. It was aliens, and they had been visiting her since she was a girl. Now they were back, and she believed the source of the tones in her ear was probably an alien implant.

Her boyfriend was shocked, but he was also very supportive. He believed her but had no idea how to help her. Deeply in love, they got married.

Extraterrestrial Contact

Julia examined her childhood. She remembered seeing colorful orbs when she was a little girl. She recalled hundreds of times when her bedroom was filled with light and scary shadowy figures materialized around her. She remembered a dramatic UFO sighting of a giant flying saucer when she was ten. Julia could no longer deny that she was having contact with extraterrestrials.

Then one evening, she woke up to hear a weird musical sound reverberating through the house. She wandered around, trying to locate the source. Then she realized, it was inside her head. Next thing she knew, Julia found herself being pulled onboard a craft. She saw that she was laying on a table in a small, round room, surrounded by short, thin, gray-skinned beings with large bald heads and big dark eyes.

They handed her a baby and asked her to hold it. It looked just like a gray alien. Julia was shocked. And looking outside the craft, she saw the darkness of space, and far below her, the planet Earth.

The next thing she knew, it was morning, and she was back in bed. Looking at her stomach, she saw three bleeding puncture wounds. Both Julia and her husband were shocked and traumatized. And they became even more shocked when they discovered that Julia was pregnant.

From this point, events escalated. Julia kept waking up to find herself unable to move. One evening, her husband woke up to see a gray alien entering their bedroom. Shortly later, Julia had a miscarriage. She was secretly relieved. The pregnancy had not felt normal, and she was certain that it had something to do with the night she was taken on board a craft.

At that point, her experiences ended. Or so she thought. They fled California and moved to the east coast. They had a baby boy and became pregnant with their second child. Then, one morning, Julia decided to reach out mentally to contact the gray alien baby she had held in her arms years ago.

To her shock, she made instant contact. In her mind, she saw a gray. He introduced himself and said his name was Sen and that he was made up of her DNA. Then began an hours-long conversation in which Julia learned all the answers about everything that had happened to her throughout her life.

She felt very strongly telepathically connected to him to the degree that she actually found herself inside this little ship with him and could see everything he was seeing. This was the beginning of an hours-long conversation between Julia and Sen.

The US Space Force to set a new orbital record with its mysterious X-37B space plane

We don't know when the plane will return, though.

 By  Ameya Paleja

On May 17, 2020, the U.S. Space Force launched the Orbital Test Vehicle-6 (OTV-6) of its X-37B space plane. The all-automated spacecraft, capable of re-entry, is now nearing an orbital record of 780 days, set by the preceding flight, the OTV-5 in 2019, Space.com reported. 

Built by Boeing, the X-37B is an unmanned space vehicle designed to support long-term space objectives with reusable vehicle technologies. The spacecraft can operate in low-Earth orbit at distances of 150-500 miles (240-800 km) above the Earth and is the first vehicle since the space shuttle with the ability to return experiments to Earth. 

According to Boeing's webpage for this spacecraft, the X-37B is one-fourth the size when compared to the Space Shuttle. It features many first in the space industry such as the use of an avionics system that automates all de-orbit and landing functions as well as flight controls and braking that uses no hydraulics at all.

The space plane is built using a light composite material instead of aluminum and uses new generation toughened uni-piece ceramic and silica tiles. Boeing also states that the X-37B is designed for easy maintenance and operation, delivering affordability.  

Previous flights of the X-37B

The first flight of the X-37B, OTV-1 took place in 2010. For its launch, the spacecraft was strapped onto a launch vehicle which places it in orbit. After spending 224 days in orbit, the spacecraft re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and landed at Vandenberg Space Force Base in California. 

Although Boeing claims that the space plane is designed to stay in orbit for up to 270 days, subsequent missions using X-37B have lasted longer than the predecessor. OTV-2's mission lasted 468 days in orbit, while OTV-3 spent over 674 days. OTV-4, launched in 2015, spent 718 days in orbit, while the last concluded mission, OTV-5, recorded 780 days in orbit.

The current mission of OTV-6 has so far clocked 773 days in orbit, just a week shy of the record stay. At this point in time, we do not know how long OTV-6 is scheduled to stay up there.

Deployment of X-37B space plane

For all its features and achievements, the primary objectives of the X-37B have remained largely classified during its existence, which has now been for more than a decade. The secrecy over the purposes of the space plane has even prompted Russia to say that apart from carrying out surveillance, the space plane could be harboring nuclear warheads. 

While the mystery over this remains unresolved, the U.S. Space Force shares details of some of the onboard missions. Among the those onboard the OTV-6 is the Naval Research Laboratory's (NRL)'s experiment to convert solar energy into radio frequency microwave energy. 

OTV-6 is also the first X-37B mission to deploy a service module to host experiments, which is attached to the aft of the vehicle and increases the experimental payload capacity that can be carried to orbit, Space.com reported. Two NASA experiments aimed at studying the impact of space environments on material sample plates and seeds used to grow food are also onboard the OTV-6.  

When OTV-6 does come down, we will have some interesting findings in the field of science.

Witnesses “capture” an alleged secret ship flying over Canada

Zack White

A couple walking at sunset in Ontario, Canada, spotted and videotaped a mysterious triangular object in the sky.

Conspiracy theorists have identified it as the legendary TR-3B , a secret plane that has been seen many times and that the US government denies owning.

In the video the man can be heard saying, “It doesn’t look like a plane from here. It looks like a triangle.” To which his wife replies, “It’s a triangle with a red light in the middle.”

Unlike other opportunities where what is filmed is very far away or is blurred for the viewer, here the triangular object can be clearly seen with all its lights —position and anti-collision (blinking red)—.

This type of sightings is often differentiated and separated from those of UFOs, since they are usually identified as a secret aircraft —which does not officially exist, but does exist…— of the US government known as TR-3B .

Ufologists believe that this stealth aircraft is the prodigy child of reverse engineering applied to alien technology recovered from incidents.

antigravity?

As described by Military.com, the triangular aircraft uses high-pressure mercury accelerated by nuclear energy to produce a plasma that creates an antigravity field around it.

“Conventional thrusters located at the tips of the ship allow it to perform all sorts of fast, high-speed maneuvers along all three axes.”

“Interestingly, the generated plasma also significantly reduces the radar signature. Therefore, it will be almost invisible on radar and will not be detected.”

“This literally means you can go to any country you want without being detected by air traffic control and air defense systems,” the military site reads.

Astronaut L. Gordon Cooper talks about UFOs he has witnessed and sending a letter to the UN about this UFO phenomenon. 

Cooper claimed until his death (March 6, 1927 – October 4, 2004) that the U.S. government was indeed covering up information about UFOs. He pointed out that there were hundreds of reports made by his fellow pilots, many coming from military jet pilots sent to respond to radar or visual sightings. In his memoirs, Cooper wrote he had seen unexplained aircraft several times during his career, and that hundreds of reports had been made. 

Cooper's story proves once again that pilots and astronauts have had UFO encounters over the years as well as they have reported it too, but despite the US congress UFO hearing on the so-called tic tac UFOs they still cover it up as they not want to tell the truth about the existence of Extraterrestrial UFOs. 

Cooper's letter to the UN about this UFO phenomenon: 

Ambassador Griffith

Mission of Grenada to the United Nations 

866 Second Avenue 

Suite 502 New York

New York 10017 

Dear Ambassador Griffith, X I wanted to convey to you my views on our extra-terrestrial visitors popularly referred to as "UFO's", and suggest what might be done to properly deal with them. 

I believe that these extra-terrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets, which obviously are a little more technically advanced than we are here on earth. I feel that we need to have a top level, coordinated program to scientifically collect and analyze data from all over earth concerning any type of encounter, and to determine how best to interface with these visitors in a friendly fashion. 

We my first have to show them that we have learned to resolve our problems by peaceful means, rather than warfare, before we are accepted as fully qualified universal team members. This acceptance would have tremendous possibilities of advancing our world in all areas. Certainly then it would seem that the UN has a vested interest in handling this subject properly and expeditiously. 

I should point out that I am not an experienced UFO professional researcher. I have not yet had the privilege of flying a UFO, nor of meeting the crew of one. I do feel that I am somewhat qualified to discuss them since I have been into the fringes of the vast areas in which they travel. Also, I did have occasion in 1951 to have two days of observation of many flights of them, of different sizes, flying in fighter formation, generally from east to west over Europe. They were at a higher altitude than we could reach with our jet fighters of that time. 

I would also like to point out that most astronauts are very reluctant to even discuss UFO's due to the great numbers of people who have indiscriminately sold fake stories and forged documents abusing their names and reputations without hesitation. 

Those few astronauts who have continued to have a participation in the UFO field have had to do so very cautiously. There are several of us who do believe in UFO's and who have had occasion to see a UFO on the ground, or from an airplane. There was only one occasion from space which may have been a UFO. 

If the UN agrees to pursue this project, and to lend their credibility to it, perhaps many more well qualified people will agree to step forth and provide help and information. 

I am looking forward to seeing you soon. 

Sincerely, 

L. Gordon Cooper 

Col. USAF (ket)

Space Chief Former Israeli Claims That Extraterrestrials Are Working In Underground Bases With Humans On Mars

Humanity has yet to grasp the fact that space aliens have long been in communication with the US administration and are attempting to comprehend “the fabric of the cosmos” with the assistance of humans. On December 8, 2020, retired general Haim Eshed, the former chief of Israel’s space security program, revealed that aliens and the US government had formed a pact to stay quiet about their experiments on Earth and secret outposts on Mars.

The 87-year-old professor told Israel’s daily newspaper Yediot Aharonot that aliens and the “Galactic Federation” had existed and collaborated with the US government and Israel for years, but that they kept it a secret to prevent widespread panic.

From 1981 until 2010, Professor Eshed was the director of Israel’s space security program, and he has earned the Israel Defense Award three times for his contributions to technical advancements. As a result, it’s tough to dismiss his talents and declare him “crazy” for making such claims.

President Trump, he claims, was aware of this and had previously spoken with extraterrestrials. “Trump was going to expose [aliens’ existence], but the Galactic Federation aliens are saying, ‘Wait, let people calm down first,’” he claimed. His comment corresponds with Trump’s intention to create the United States Space Force (USSF) as the military’s sixth branch. “Both in terms of defense and attack, space will be the future… In May 2020, Trump said, “We are now the leader in space.” However, it is unknown how long the US government and extraterrestrials have had a cordial connection.

Eshed went on to say that aliens are waiting for humanity to progress and achieve a particular level of understanding before they can properly comprehend space and spaceships. They also struck a pact with humanity to do experiments on Earth and conduct research alongside them in order to better understand the fabric of the cosmos.

He also stated that aliens and astronauts from the United States collaborate in an underground outpost on Mars. “I would have been hospitalized five years ago if I had made up what I’m saying now.” They exclaimed, “The guy has lost his mind,” everywhere I walked in the gym with this.

The “founder of Israel’s satellite program,” Haim Eshed, is regarded as such. He graduated from the Technion with a bachelor’s degree, a master’s degree in performance research, and a PhD in aeronautical engineering. He became the chief of Israeli satellite programs at the Ministry of Defense in 1981, overseeing the launch of 20 satellites. In 2011, he left the Ministry of Defense.

In his book “The Universe Beyond the Horizon — Conversations with Professor Haim Eshed,” Eshed goes into further detail on aliens, UFOs, and various hypotheses about their origins. He went into great detail on how the aliens averted the nuclear holocaust and revealed some intriguing facts about Men In Black.

Unsolved Mysteries of the ‘Berkshires UFO Sighting – COAST TO COAST AM

COAST TO COAST AM – 2022. Tom Warner, who had an amazing UFO encounter in 1969, was the guest in the second half. His case was recently featured on Netflix’s version of Unsolved Mysteries as the ‘Berkshires UFO sighting.’ Warner said that he has had strange events throughout his life, beginning at the age of four when “a car went by real slow” with four people in it who he now assumes were “human/alien hybrids” because they all seemed to have a “blank stare” on their faces. They asked him to get in the car, offering candy, when a voice came into Warner’s head, saying, “yell for your grandfather but don’t use your real voice.” Warner’s grandfather chased them off but appeared frightened, even though he was carrying a rifle. He also recalled his father nervously telling a story about seeing a burned area of grass where a UFO had apparently landed.

Pentagon: “Time travel is real and we can visit other worlds”

Zack White

According to documents released by the Pentagon, time travel and anti-gravity technologies may be available to humans and could help us visit other worlds.

The recent declassification of 1,500 files sheds light on the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was a secret Pentagon UFO program.

Its publication was made possible after a four-year legal battle following a freedom of information request from The Sun.

One of the papers discusses how anti-gravity technology can be used to create airships and spacecraft, stating that “the effects can be achieved by manipulating space-time.”

How to “manipulate gravity” is also discussed and the report says: “It may be possible to create exotic phenomena such as faster-than-light travel… and time machines.”

A RETIRED cop saw dead alien bodies being lifted with a crane and hauled away after the infamous Roswell UFO crash, it has been claimed.

In a bombshell interview, former Deputy Sheriff Charles H Forgus of Howard County, Texas, told how he was traveling to Roswell to pick up a prisoner with Sheriff Jess Slaughter.

The journey occurred on the evening of the world's most famous UFO crash on July 2, 1947.

Forgus claims he saw four alien bodies with big eyes and brownish-colored skin being taken away by military personnel.

The interview will be broadcast for the first time on TV in an upcoming documentary being released to mark the 75th anniversary of the Roswell crash.

Forgus said: "We went to Roswell to pick up a prisoner. When we got there the land was covered in soldiers. They were hauling a big creature, hauling him away.

"They wouldn't let us get very close to it either. So we headed up to get the prisoner in Roswell and back to.

"It [the UFO] already had crashed. They were taking them out. There were soldiers there….about 3 or 4 hundred of them. They wouldn’t let you get very close. They were keeping all the people away. People were coming out there."

He described the UFO as "a big round thing" measuring about 100 feet and told how he saw the lights go out "when it banged into the wall in the creek," adding, "it was like a mountain on the side of the creek."

Speaking about the alleged alien bodies, he said: "I think I seen about four [of them].

"I saw the legs and feet on some of them... they looked like our feet...

"We [saw] them haul them [the bodies] out [of] there, out of the canyon up to trucks .

"[They were] putting [them] on the tow trucks so they could haul them.

"They were lifting them up with a crane that they had and picking them and swinging them to put them on the truck.

"The bodies must have been 5 feet tall... they were covered.

"Their eyes looked like the ones we see on television and the pictures of them.

"As much as I could tell, the skin was a brownish color like they were in the sun too long."

'IN THE SUN TOO LONG'

He added: "There is one thing I do remember, The great father didn't just make this planet, he made all of them. He put beings on this planet just like he put us on this one.

"They're smarter than we are. They can get from there to here, but we can't get from here to there.

"I don't know where they hauled them - they might have hauled them to the hospital or somewhere."

"He said he spent about 20-30 minutes looking at the scene and military officials saw him looking but didn't say anything to me."

UFO researcher Philip Mantle, who has spent decades researching the Roswell Incident, said he remained open-minded about the witness account.

'SMARTER THAN US'

"Forgus was interviewed in 1999 by Los Angeles private investigator Deanna Short," he said.

"Sheriff Jess Slaughter and Deputy Sheriff Charles Forgus were allegedly traveling together in early July 1947 from Texas to Roswell to pick up a prisoner when they happened on the Roswell crash scene in New Mexico.

"Both were there and were on an overlook to view the crash scene recovery by the Army.

"According to Deanna's daughter Mackenzie, Charles made a special effort to note to Deanna not to believe what others will say - he and the Sheriff did witness the Roswell crash scene.   

"They had heard about the crash on the police radio, which enabled them to find the location.

"Deanna is now deceased but her daughter Mackenzie Christian has kept Deanna's files that include the Roswell case, which includes the video interview. 

EERIE CRASH SCENE

"In 1999, Deanna verified the background, including living relatives of both law enforcement individuals that existed at the time and documented that in her agency intelligence report."

He added: "I am open-minded with regards to the veracity of what Charles Forgus has claimed. 

"I dare say many of those that know far more than me about the Roswell Incident will write it off as it does not fit the known Roswell crash scenario. 

"All I will say is that I am working to try and find any more information and I leave this ‘Roswell File’ open."

Mantle added that he had also been in touch with Forgus' nephew, who assured him that he was not a man who would ever lie. 

The nephew said: "I can tell you; he is not a person who would have fabricated this story.

"He was a very straight-laced and no-nonsense type of person...that's why he was in law enforcement."

It comes as a huge festival is being held in Roswell, New Mexico to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the world's most famous UFO crash.

Roswell 75: The Final Evidence will air on Thursday, July 7, at 9pm ET on BLAZE.

Sheriff Jess Slaughter was with Forgus at the time of the discovery

NASA officials either denied any information about UFOs on the Moon, or simply refused to comment on such statements, but evidence has recently been published that Apollo 11 astronauts had witnessed a mysterious phenomenon while their trip to the moon. It took seven years to digitize old files, and now they are available here.

The published data has already been analyzed by a lot of people who learned about a certain object flying over the Apollo 11 spacecraft. So, maybe there really is an alien base on the moon, and people were simply forbidden to research our satellite.

In the audio files, one can feel the alarm of the astronauts when they talked about a radiant object that had an oblong shape. The speed of the unidentified object was very significant, and the object itself left the orbit of the moon, which can be understood from these records. Why did the Americans hesitate to talk about it?

Read also:

• Aliens From Andromeda Told US Army Personnel That Humans Are Composite Of 22 Different E.T. Races
• 1.5 Billion-Year-Old Alien Spaceship Found On Moon With Alien Bodies During Apollo 19 & 20 Missions
• USAF Flight Nurse Interviewed Alien Named Airl, Said Earth Was Alien Prison Before 30,000 BCE
• At Least Four Alien Species Have Been Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years From Andromeda

It is worth noting that these records are official, and astronauts reported everything they saw to the Houston center staff, as ufologists had already said, but then these documents were not on the site. If you listen to the fourth audio file, it talks about the approach of an unidentified object to the spaceship, and the astronauts asked for advice on how to behave in that situation. Then it says that the object flew off at tremendous speed.

Neil Armstrong was one of the three astronauts in the Apollo 11 mission, and after a while, he began to talk about the fact that there may be aliens and alien bases on the moon. Why make such statements if he has already been on the moon? This sounds really strange! Even after a huge amount of time, it is not clear enough what exactly astronauts managed to see on our satellite.

According to a report shared by Gaia, there is a transcript between Aldrin and Armstrong where the two had witnessed extraterrestrial activities on Moon during the Apollo 11 mission.

Apollo 11: “Those are giant things. No, no, no, this is not an optical illusion. No one is going to believe this.”

NASA: “What… what…. what? What the hell is happening What’s wrong with you?”

Apollo 11: “They’re here, under the surface.”

Apart from this, what former NASA astronaut Franklin Story Musgrave said about his experience in space would shock anyone. He claimed to had seen an 8 foot-long snake, white in color, floating through space. It is hard to explain how a snake could reach space, but Musgrave has never denied it.

NASA has been exploring space for a long time and there are chances that they have found a sign of aliens but hiding it from the public. There are some NASA legends such as Gordon Cooper, Edgar Mitchell, and Story Musgrave, who are firm believers of UFOs.

NASA conspirators have full assurance that the US space agency has been covering the evidence of UFOs since the first Apollo mission. Donna Hare claimed to have worked for NASA contactor Philco Ford in the early 1970s. She had a high-security clearance to walk in NASA’s photo lab and other departments.

During the Disclosure Project press conference, Hare revealed that NASA covered up and eliminated space anomalies such as UFOs from the satellite photos. Hare has got several awards in the space programs. She dedicated most of her time as a technical illustrator to space programs. She created lunar maps, landing slides and had been working 15 years as a sub-contractor for NASA.

She claimed to have access to a place known as “Building Eight,” from where she made contacts with high-ranking officials. Once, she walked into a restricted area which was NASA’s photo lab. She noticed the lab had photographs (mosaic) of the Moon taken from satellites. She was with a friend who pointed at one of the photographs and surprisingly, she saw a round white dot.

“I said to him what is that. Is that a dot on the emulsion? Then he’s grinning and he says dots on the emulsion don’t leave shadows on the ground. There was a round shadow at the correct angle.

I looked at him and I was pretty startled because I’d worked out there several years and never seen anything like this never heard of anything like this and I said is this a UFO and he’s smiling at me and he says I can’t tell you,” Hara said. She knew what he meant but could not tell. He said that their work was to airbrush them before putting into the public domain.

According to her, NASA had a protocol to alter the satellite images, and workers who were assigned to this program were put in quarantine. She was told by one of the sources that during one of the moon landings, three UFOs had landed. Subsequently, there was a codeword “Santa Claus” for these crafts.

No one was allowed to talk about these in public, otherwise, they would face serious consequences after retirement. She remembered that one person from that secret program told her that every astronaut had seen those crafts during their space missions. She had never seen that man again but got his name which was given to Ufologist Dr. Steven Greer in a hope that he would find him.

Former US Air Force Sergeant Karl Wolfe, who died in a bike accident in 2018, was another person who shared a similar story. He also had top-secret clearance and worked at Langley Air Force base in Virginia, the USA.

Karl worked as a precision electronics photograph repairer for Nasa’s Lunar Orbiter Project. One day, he was taken into a lab by another worker who showed him a photo of artificial buildings at the lunar base. His death remains a mystery as many believe that he was killed for exposing top-secret documents.

Sightings are from MUFON CMS

 Alabama Object

Tuscaloosa, on May 29, 2022, at 4:17 AM I was traveling on the I-20 interstate. I encountered two objects in the sky that were traveling a long distance a part towards Birmingham. When I made it to work and parked the two objects came towards me and stopped. The next morning on May 30th. I stopped off in Eutaw, Alabama to fuel up and I saw another strange object in the sky.

Note: The time of the report has been to 4:41 AM per metadata in the above photo. The May 30, 2022, photo mentioned by the witness is not shown in this report.

California Objects

I live in Visalia, California this was flying over our backyard on May 17, 2022, around 9:30 PM. This is the second time I have seen this particular one. This is one of the best UFO photos I have ever seen. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Menlo Park on March 11, 2004.  every day I was driving on I-280 to De Anza College at enjoying the excellent weather at 10:30 AM. on my birthday. I was driving 30-35 m/h with the windows open. I had just passed Sand hill Road when I saw a typical saucer UFO gliding slowly parallel to my car. The UFO was no more than 100 meters away and 5-10 meters above the ground. I made the illustration to show the scene, it had a round top with 2 bulged rings. There were no windows and no seams or writings cast of one single piece of metal, shiny, reflective, and smooth. It looked completely new, straight from the factory. The UFO was big as a SUV and graciously floating. “Wow, what a birthday present! “The UFO continued flying into the trees and disappeared. I didn’t see it again.  Later, after I came back to Bulgaria, in 2016 when I decided to find my sighting location. I started “walking” the Google Street and under the bridge there are some very long buildings.

SLAC National Accelerator

When I checked them, I found the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory’s LCLS (LINAC Coherent Light Source) more than 2 miles long over-ground linear accelerator’s tunnel. I found online the old SLAC engineers’ diaries and reports from that time. I found out that “A major milestone for the SPEAR3 commissioning occurred at 17:56 on March 8, 2004, SPEAR3 synchrotron light Structure

When the first SPEAR3 synchrotron light was observed on a monitor, there was a very big event for SLAC because I found tons of articles about it. My sighting was 2 days later. I assume the engineers were highly active in the first couple of days after that event. Their next task would be to tune up the electron acceleration to maximize the harvest of synchrotron light.
I often hear about UFO’s interest in nuclear and military sites but have never heard about sightings at particle accelerators like mine. ‘Link to Google map:

Connecticut Object

ky Hill on November 8, 1987, abut 12:30 AM when I saw the UFO it was really life changing just sitting over the highway.  It was flying at 5,000 feet and was about 300 feet in diameter. After that night I started reading anything I could trying to find matches what I saw.

 Florida Lights

Malborne on September 1, 2016, you can see the flying object at top by playing in slow motion any video that you download from that day. Clearly you see de object destroying the rocket Falcon 9.

Indiana Light

Muncie on May 21, 2022, I am a spaceship stalking victim and attempted abduction and murder victim of a criminal stalker rapist pedophile cult that are operating. They are using body and mind meld technology, “shelling” technology to harass me. They say I am in a “spaceship stalking” race and a ship or more with red and white flashing lights is following me home. This spaceship followed me home every couple days and on 5/31/22.

Note: The video is not shown because it appears to show a conventional aircraft. One of the photos is shown. The object is probably a regular airplane.

 Louisiana Object 

Thibodaux on June 2, 2022, I saw a fast-moving object (UFO) with no sound, contrails or wings.
Will they check the flight logs, or should l contact them?

Note: It is difficult to identify this object. It could be a balloon.

Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Maryland Light

Berwyn Heights  on June 12, 2022, it was a full moon, so I decided to take pictures and that’s when this green light appeared. It moved back and forth, up, and down but I could not see it with naked eye.

Michigan Light

Shepherd on May 17, 2022, this is the first picture of it at 4:48 AM of a lighted bar that’s vertical. It was out on several pictures that were 30 seconds apart. I will send you more pictures since this is not the first time, we’ve seen this across the road.

Note: I have seen similar photos taken by trail cameras, and security cameras and believe that the lights could be insect activity. The column of lights is likely the result of extended time exposure when the camera was in “night mode. “

Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Massachusetts Light

Bridgewater  on May 13, 2021, I’m a sky watcher and this appeared on a clear evening it seemed stationary, then seemed to move very slowly. No sound. I watched for 3 minutes. It seemed to have a trail which stayed stationary as well. Then it all just vanished.

Warren on June 4, 2022, it was 9:20-30 at night, I had taken my custom telescope out. when I was done putting my camera in a good spot. I i looked up and saw this white light that flew at the height of a plane. The light moved across the sky for 4-5 seconds.

Missouri Object

Good on May 23, 2022 , I was getting off at 4:30 from work. Walking to car and just happened to look up and seen what appeared to be a blimp it was a little way off in the distance tool a couple of pictures with my Cell phone and still cannot decide what actually what it was

New Jersey Object

h Amboy  on May 15, 2018, Tic tac shaped metallic object moving very fast. Clouds were moving and when they opened up this object was caught on camera. In was moving so fast my camera only got this photo.

ABDUCTION

Middletown on July 6th 1996, I walked from my house at 19 ideal Avenue to the beach in the Raritan Bay Ideal Beach upon standing on top of the dunes on the Ocean Avenue footpath I saw the triangle UFO flying at about 5 miles an hour heading west being trailed by three police cars with outside spotlights on the objects I preserved it thing flew right over top of me change directions headed north. A lower deck lowered from the bottom of this craft and inside I could see structure inverted triangle shape heavy beam Construction with curved plating at the pointed parts of the triangle is also blue, white, and reddish lights. I got locked on a beam of red light and then I have no more memory. I did not meet the police light and if they had kept following, the triangle they would have seen me being abducted. I was floating and then it is two hours later, and I am 3 blocks away

Haledon June 5. 2022, I was outside barbequing when I noticed an object high in the sky. At first a dismissed it as satellite. I looked again and the white object was still there for 10 minutes. When I showed my son the object another smaller object appeared. This one was flashing or rotating. It appeared to have a dark and light side to it. I was able get the 2 objects together before the smaller flashing object moved away as did the first.

New York Ring of Lights 

Seneca, May 31, 2022, I was taking pictures last night in an attempt to capture some meteors during the meteor shower. I came across a photo that had some weird lights. I haven’t noticed the lights in any other photo.  I’m not sure if maybe I changed a setting and they disappeared or what, but this is what I got. These are raw photos. Thanks to Will Pucket/www.ufosnw.com/newsite/

Texas Object

Denton on May 28, 2022, noticed these two different dark colored objects. These objects made no noise, and I did not see any birds or planes in the area.

Washington Lights

Vancouver on June 4, 2022, a brown, oval shaped object flying over neighborhood.

Worldwide UFO Sightings

Australia Light

Molotovabad on May 15, 2022, I initially observed a bright light travelling south down the Sunshine Coast. I was sure I noticed it suddenly reversing direction and making sudden downward and upward movements. I grabbed my S  21 Samsung phone and recorded 30 seconds of footage until I was about to lose site behind a tree.

Canada Lights

Vegerville Alberta on June 8, 2014, I was out on the deck, and I saw about 12 really bright lights in the sky and watched some of them go behind the trees and I got a picture of 3 there was no noise at all.

France Tic Tac

Monsegur on January 18, 2022, the shape was triangle with three lights under the craft the lights reflected of the cloud. I captured an oblong shape color black

Mantes la Jolie on May 28, 2022, white flying object with an unusual shape and no noise crossed the sky

Libya Lights

Benghazi on May 21, 2021, I was sleeping in the farmhouse and woke up at 4 AM, I made coffee and decided to drink it outside and saw the moon and two stars above it. I decided to take several photos. to I watched the pictures at once after taking them, I did not find the stars. Every time the location of the two stars changes.

Northern Ireland Lights

Belfast on July 13, 2021, this video was captured at exactly 1.30 am after seeing a yellow flash in the sky which illuminated a triangular craft quickly. The first yellow flash that lit up the sky enabled me to see a very dark shiny craft. It completely disappeared and returned 40 seconds later. It displayed a brief sequence of lights which seemed to show a triangular body. I was extremely frightened. Several of my friends also saw this activity.

UK/England Lights

North Sea on June 5, 2022, I was on a cruise to Norway from Belfast, Northern Ireland. On my way back between Bergen (Norway) and Lerwick (Shetland islands) I took 5 pictures of the sun reflecting on the sea and four had blue orbs. I applied the filters I could see that there was some kind of

Chester on November 6, 1998, it was 6 pm and I was walking to put some tools away. It was November so it was dark. I looked up to see low clouds but the whole sky was glowing at height of maybe 200 feet a matt black silent triangle flew directly about 200-300 mph and would be the size of a small airliner. I worked for the British Civil Aviation Authority. It had a number of circles on the two leading edges of the ‘wings. that were shiny black lights., but no navigation lights.

‘We’re taking UFOs extremely seriously,’ says Nasa’s chief

Nasa’s director has stated that he believes UFO reports after commissioning an eight-month investigation into hundreds of inexplicable encounters.

Ex-space shuttle astronaut and US Senator Bill Nelson claimed he spoke with two Navy pilots who witnessed multiple flying objects in 2004 and passed the issue on to Nasa’s chief scientist. He told the reporters that they are quite concerned about the situation.

Nelson has spoken with Navy pilots who claim to have seen something in 2004. They were able to follow it on their radar off the coast of Southern California, over the Pacific.

He went on to say that hundreds more items have been noticed since then, with a few of them being explained as balloons, but the majority remaining unexplained.

So, as a scientific research organization, he has requested Nasa to study this problem from a scientific position, which will be disclosed in a few days. They’ll be reporting in around eight months.

When asked if he believed the sightings may be hostile planes, the Nasa administrator said that he hoped it wasn’t. This is because the pilots described it as a very quick-moving object that hopped from one spot to the next.

As a result, his straightforward response is that he has no idea. That’s why he’s enlisted the help of their experts to see whether they can come up with an answer.

Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen of the Science Mission Directorate will lead the probe, and the entire extent of the study will be disclosed soon, according to Mr. Nelson.

Pilots in the Navy were allegedly ‘lost their heads.’

Lt Cmdr Alex Dietrich, one of the Navy pilots cited by Mr. Nelson, went public for the first time last year, describing how she had observed many UFOs while stationed on the USS Nimitz aircraft carrier off the coast of southern California.

She said the objects moved at an incredible rate, plunging 80,000 feet in less than a second and leaping dozens of miles in seconds in an occurrence captured on infrared camera and radar.

According to Lt Cmdr Dietrich of 60 Minutes in the United States, the item hopped from place to place and tumbled around in an unanticipated manner.

She also said that the entire time they were on the radio with each other, they were completely insane.

Cmdr David Fravor, who was also stationed aboard the USS Nimitz, engaged one of the oblong objects, which he assessed to be 40 feet long, according to accounts. It vanished, only to be caught up by ship radar 60 miles distant seconds later.

Hundreds of ‘inexplicable’ sightings

The Pentagon’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force produced a study last June that looked into 144 UFO sightings between 2004 and 2021, several of which were witnessed by military pilots.

Despite the fact that investigators decided there was no indication the objects came from outer space or were the work of a foreign opponent, they stated that the majority of them could not be explained.

The authors of the paper said unequivocally that the UAPs were real objects, not visual illusions generated by air circumstances or sensor failures.

Investigators discovered 18 items with unidentified propulsion systems and stated they will investigate further to see whether sophisticated technologies were there.

The Nasa chief also stated the space agency was “actively involved” in searching for extraterrestrial life on Mars, with the Perseverance rover excavating into an old lake on the Martian surface, during a briefing from Edinburgh on Monday.

He also stated that in 2031, they will gather the samples and return them to Earth.

And that would tell us if there was life, how advanced it was, whether it was organized, and then what happened to it.

A new all-electric drone is totally silent. And it uses ion propulsion?

The vehicle generates noise levels below 70 dB.

 By  Loukia Papadopoulos

The 'quiet' drone.

Undefined Technologies

Imagine an all-electric drone with zero emissions and no noise.

It could venture anywhere — practically undetected — and be used for a variety of applications from search and rescue to military operations.

That vision is now here, and it runs on ion propulsion.

Last month, a Florida-based tech startup called Undefined Technologies unveiled the new aesthetic design of its silent eVTOL drone, called Silent Ventus, which is powered by ion propulsion, according to a press release by the firm.

A sustainable and less noisy urban environment

“Silent Ventus is a vivid example of our intent of creating a sustainable, progressive, and less-noisy urban environment,” said Tomas Pribanic, Founder and CEO of Undefined Technologies, in the statement. “The design brings us closer to our final product and enables us to showcase the dual-use of our technology.”

The concept vehicle uses proprietary technology to fully activate the ion cloud surrounding the craft. This allows the drone to generate high levels of ion thrust in atmospheric air, and take flight in near-silence.

A major milestone for all-electric drones

Development of the drone has been ongoing for a while now. In December of 2021, the drone completed a major milestone. It undertook a 2-minute and 30-second mission flight, where its performance, flight dynamics, endurance, and noise levels were tested.

The engineers leading the tests reported that the craft’s flight time extended five-fold from the previous version and generated noise levels of less than 85 decibels. Pribanic said at the time that the drone was one step closer to market.

According to Undefined Technologies' website, the drone today "uses innovative physics principles to generate noise levels below 70 dB." This would make it ideal for use throughout the U.S., where acceptable noise levels for residential, industrial, and commercial zones range from 50 to 70 dB.

In comparison, the majority of drones produce noises in the vicinity of 85 to 96 dB. Time will tell whether the new "silent" drones will inaugurate a new age of whispering drones that take no toll on the surrounding environment, toiling away in peace.

Queen's Brian May spots his first crop circle and wants to know what you think

By Mayer Nissim

"Mathematical art? Are they a hoax? Are they made by extra-terrestrial beings..."

As well as being one of the greatest rock guitarists of all time, Queen star Brian May knows a thing or two about space.

He picked up a degree in physics in the 1960s and was studying for a doctorate in astrophysics when Queen's career took off in the mid-1970s.

• Brian May recalls "merciless" arguments with Freddie Mercury: "We said terrible things"
• Queen's 20 greatest songs ever, ranked
• Listen to the Smooth All Time Top 500 Live Playlist on Global Player – including Queen

Incredibly, he re-registered at Imperial College in 2006, and within a couple of years had dusted off and updated his past work on his original thesis to earn his doctorate.

So when Brian May talks about all things space and science, he tends to be worth listening to.

All of which raised eyebrows when Dr May posted a series of pictures of crop circles on Instagram this morning (May 25).

"Notice anything unusual here in the English countryside?," Brian asked.

"I never spotted a crop circle myself before. So probably always a bit sceptical about them. But yesterday, flying back from our production rehearsal space - flying over a location not far from Marlborough - there was this."

"PLEASE SWIPE for some stereo views and a rudimentary stereo movie. And …. TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK."

He added: "Who makes these intriguing works of mathematical art ? Are they a hoax ?

"Are they made by extra-terrestrial beings ? And …. how ? And what is their purpose ? Tell me your theories !!! Cheers - BRI"

Strange patterns in crops have long been recorded in history, the idea of "crop circles" came to prominence in the 1970s and 1980s.

Hoaxers Doug Bower and Dave Chorley attracted attention in 1991 by claiming they had sparked the recent trend at the end of the 1970s by making circles using wood and rope.

However, some people still maintain that crop circles are can be caused by freak weather or other natural phenomena like ball lightning.

Other more paranormally-inclined theorists continue to suggest the influence of UFOs or other extraterrestrial intervention.

Capstone lifts off! NASA launches microwave-sized spacecraft into orbit around the MOON in first step of its Artemis mission to return humans to the lunar surface for the first time in 50 years

• The small spacecraft finally launched from New Zealand at 10:55 BST on Tuesday

• NASA's craft will follow a halo-like orbit around the moon for at least six months

• It will act as a test mission for Lunar Gateway, a new space station in lunar orbit

By JONATHAN CHADWICK FOR MAILONLINE 

NASA finally launched its 'CAPSTONE' spacecraft on Tuesday morning, marking an important early stage in its Artemis space programme. 

The craft, which is about the size of a microwave oven and weighs just 55 pounds, blasted off from Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand at 10:55 BST (21:55 local time). 

Over six months, it will test the stability of a halo-shaped orbit around the moon before this orbit is used by Lunar Gateway, NASA's planned lunar outpost. 

Lunar Gateway, which is due to launch in 2024, will serve as a 'staging area' for landing humans on the moon for the first time in 50 years, and potentially as a jumping-off point for missions to Mars. 

The craft, which is about the size of a microwave oven and weighs just 55 pounds, blasted off from Māhia Peninsula, New Zealand at 10:55 BST (21:55 local time)

Over six months, CAPSTONE will test the stability of a halo-shaped orbit around the moon before this orbit is used by Lunar Gateway, NASA's planned lunar outpost.

The CAPSTONE spacecraft, which was originally scheduled to launch in October 2021, was sent into space on an 'Electron' booster rocket built by US firm Rocket Lab. 

'We have lift-off from Launch Complex 1!' Rocket Lab tweeted moments after the launch. 'CAPSTONE’s journey to the Moon is underway.' 

Rocket Lab also confirmed that the rocket had reached Max Q – the point when an its atmospheric flight reaches maximum dynamic pressure. 

Bradley Smith, director of launch services at NASA, described the launch as 'fabulous'. 

'This has been, for me, eight years in the making. Here we are, not even a decade later and this incredible team has sent CAPSTONE on a ballistic trajectory to lunar orbit.' 

CAPSTONE is an abbreviation for 'Cislunar Autonomous Positioning System Technology Operations and Navigation Experiment'. 

It is unique in that it will travel on an elongated halo-shaped orbit, which will bring it as close as 1,000 miles and as far as 43,500 miles from the lunar surface. 

It will use its propulsion system to travel for approximately three to four months before entering into orbit around the moon. One orbit will occur every seven days.

The spacecraft is about the size of a microwave oven and weighs just 55 pounds. It's depicted here in an artist's impression in its orbit around the moon 

CAPSTONE over the lunar North Pole: After arriving at the moon in around four months, the craft will begin a six-month-long mission to validate a special type of orbit 

While it usually takes a few days for a spacecraft to reach the moon, CAPSTONE will take much longer as it's travelling at a slower speed and has to take a longer route to gear itself for an unusual oval shape. 

The strange-shaped orbit, officially called a near rectilinear halo orbit (NRHO), has never before been tried in space. 

The orbit's route is located at a precise balance point in the gravities of the Earth and moon, meaning less energy is expended. 

'The stability of this orbit will allow CAPSTONE to behave almost like it's held in place by the gravity of Earth and the moon,' Elwood Agasid at NASA's Ames Research Center told The Next Web. 

'It requires little energy for station-keeping or to manoeuvre into other cislunar orbits [those between the earth and the moon].'

CAPSTONE will orbit this area around the moon for at least six months to understand 'the characteristics of the orbit', according to NASA, before the space agency deliberately crashes it on the lunar surface. 

The space agency said: 'It will validate the power and propulsion requirements for maintaining its orbit as predicted by NASA's models, reducing logistical uncertainties.

'It will also demonstrate the reliability of innovative spacecraft-to-spacecraft navigation solutions as well as communication capabilities with Earth.'

The first parts for the Lunar Gateway are not set to launch until November 2024 at the very earliest, giving NASA plenty of time to assess the results from CAPSTONE.

Described as a 'vital component' of NASA's Artemis programme, the Lunar Gateway will be a small space station orbiting the moon, acting as a 'multi-purpose outpost'. 

The official word is that NASA's Artemis programme will land the first woman and the next man on the moon by 2025, although this could be pushed back again, NASA Investigator General Paul Martin recently suggested.

Lunar Gateway, pictured here above the moon in an artist's impression, is described as a 'vital component' of NASA's Artemis programme

NASA's original date for landing humans on the moon again was 2024, but last year it delayed the date, largely blamed on litigation from Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' firm Blue Origin. 

Also this year, NASA will be sending manikins to space as part of the Artemis I mission in August 2022. 

Artemis I will pave the way for crewed flights – Artemis II, which will launch in May 2024 and fly by the moon without landing on it, and Artemis III, which will actually touch down on the lunar surface. 

Artemis III, which will launch 'no earlier than 2025', will be the first to land humans on the moon in more than 50 years, since Apollo 17 in December 1972. 

NASA'S LUNAR GATEWAY: A VITAL PART OF ARTEMIS PROGRAMME

NASA is working on a project to build the first lunar space station, codenamed the Lunar Gateway, as part of a long-term project to send humans to Mars.

The crew-tended spaceport will orbit the moon and serve as a 'gateway to deep space and the lunar surface,' NASA has said.

The first modules of the station could be completed as soon as 2024.

An international base for lunar exploration for humans and robots and a stopover for spacecraft is a leading contender to succeed the $100 billion International Space Station (ISS), the world's largest space project to date.

Pictured: a diagram of the proposed Lunar Gateway space station 

NASA's upcoming Artemis missions aim to send the first crewed mission to the moon since 1972 'no earlier than 2025'. 

This was originally by 2024, but costs and litigation from Jeff Bezos' firm Blue Origin forced NASA to put this back a year. 

Eventually NASA seeks to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon by 2028 as a result of the Artemis mission.
