Unearthly Encounters in Las Vegas: A Deep-Dive into a Family’s Mystery
Unearthly Encounters in Las Vegas: A Deep-Dive into a Family’s Mystery
In the heart of the bustling city of Las Vegas, under the bright neon lights, a bewildering incident took place on the 30th of April that sent shivers down the spines of many. A local family claimed that an unexplainable entity had crashed in their backyard, an occurrence so outlandish that they felt compelled to dial 911. But what was it that landed in their yard? Who, or what, were these beings deemed as “non-human” by the distressed household?
Enter Doug Poppa, a seasoned investigative journalist with 40 years of experience, determined to uncover the truth behind the shadows. Poppa has since met with the family in question and his investigation has shone new light onto this unusual case.
The Persistent Tale of the Unexpected Visitors
Poppa’s first interaction with the family occurred on May 19th, almost three weeks after the initial incident. According to Poppa, the family’s narrative remained consistent, regardless of the external pressure and skepticism they faced on social media. The family reported multiple sightings of the enigmatic creatures by different family members: Angel, a 16-year-old member of the family, his younger brother, and their father. The beings were reportedly as tall as a six-foot pole, as described by the family, a claim Poppa was able to verify by standing next to the referenced pole.
Despite the severe scrutiny and the doubts cast on their story, the family stuck to their narrative. The non-human entities they described remained a constant element in their tale, and as they saw it, their story didn’t change.
A Turning Point: The Installation of Cameras
Poppa’s investigation took an unexpected turn when he discovered surveillance cameras installed on the family’s rooftop. These cameras appeared about two weeks post the incident and were mysteriously removed a few days later. This unusual occurrence was confirmed by Poppa and his police sources, affirming that the cameras were installed by the Technical and Surveillance Squad, part of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department’s Homeland Security Division.
Curiously, the cameras were installed just three days before May 27th, when Poppa exposed their existence. According to the family, the police department sought permission to install the cameras on their property, citing it was for their protection. This move, however, was unusual and raised more questions than it answered. Was there more to this incident than meets the eye?
The Unsettling Aftermath
Despite the mounting pressure and the harassment the family faced, their story has stood firm. They continue to believe in what they witnessed and the reality of their eerie encounter. The authorities’ reactions, the heightened surveillance, and the unusual removal of cameras have only deepened the mystery surrounding the case.
While there remain more questions than answers, Doug Poppa continues his relentless investigation. As this story unfolds and Poppa digs deeper, the public eagerly awaits the unraveling of the puzzle. What truly happened on that fateful April night? Who were the beings that visited this Las Vegas family, and more importantly, why did they come? The answers, as it seems, are still hidden in the shadows, waiting to be discovered.
In the city of Las Vegas, where every day is a spectacle, an ordinary family experienced the extraordinary. Their story, a testament to the unexplored mysteries of the universe, challenges our understanding of the world around us and beckons us to keep questioning the unknown.
Sprookjesachtige lichtende nachtwolken gespot: dit is hoe jij deze zeldzame wolk kan zien
Elk jaar heb je in de periode rond de langste dag - 21 juni - kans om een heel bijzondere wolk te spotten: de lichtende nachtwolk. Dat is een zeldzaam weerfenomeen. Zeker de moeite waard dus om komende maand op een heldere avond even naar boven te kijken, vindt wetenschapsjournalist Martijn Peters. Maar hoe ontstaan ze? En wanneer en waar kijk je het best?

De hemel boven Groot-Brittannië werd afgelopen nacht op meerdere plekken weer prachtig gekleurd door oplichtende nachtwolken. En ook in Nederland konden enkele aandachtige hemelkijkers genieten van dit bijzondere natuurverschijnsel. Twitter stond dan ook vol met prachtige plaatjes en video’s. Maar wist je dat je lichtende nachtwolken ook hier bij ons kan zien?
Lichtende nachtwolken zweven heel wat hoger in de atmosfeer dan onze alledaagse ‘normale’ bewolking. Waar lage, middelhoge en hoge wolken zich allemaal onder de 12 kilometer bevinden, zitten lichtende nachtwolken ergens rond de 80 kilometer. Hoog in de mesosfeer dus.
Het is dankzij dit gebrek aan hoogtevrees, dat we af en toe eens kunnen genieten van dit zeldzame schouwspel. Want hoog daarboven is het ijzig koud, tot wel 90 à 145°C onder nul. Daardoor kan er zich ijs vormen rond stofdeeltjes afkomstig van meteorieten en vulkanen. Je kan dus haast van ‘buitenaardse’ wolken spreken. Doordat deze ijsdeeltjes zo hoog rondzweven kunnen zij nog zonlicht weerkaatsen na zonsondergang, wanneer andere lager gelegen wolken hier niet meer toe in staat zijn. Dat is wel enkel het geval van eind mei tot juli, wanneer de zon niet te diep onder horizon zakt. De rest van het jaar blijven ze dus onzichtbaar. Hun schichtig snel bewegende patroon hebben de lichtende nachtwolken dan weer te danken aan de grillige luchtstromen daarboven.
Mooie, lichtende nachtwolken worden tegenwoordig vaker gespot dan pakweg 50 jaar geleden. Maar de reden daarvoor minder positief. Het is immers deels te wijten aan de klimaatverandering. Die zorgt voor meer waterdamp en lagere temperaturen in de hogere atmosfeerlagen. Dat betekent meer ijs, en daardoor meer kans op lichtende nachtwolken.
Vergeet dus niet omhoog te kijken in het eerste uur na zonsondergang. Wie weet spot je ze wel. Al is er geen garantie. Het blijft een zeldzaam en onvoorspelbaar fenomeen. Het ene jaar zijn er geen, het andere jaar verschijnen ze meermaals, soms zelfs enkele keren in dezelfde maand.

The shocking revelation about government secrets and alien technology
The shocking revelation about government secrets and alien technology
In an era when information is at our fingertips, it seems almost impossible for any global entity, especially the government, to keep a secret. However, in a recent interview with David Grusch, a former intelligence officer turned whistleblower, new light has been shed on undisclosed government programs and the possible existence of non-human intelligence, or NHI, as it is referred to.
Grusch, who had been embedded deep within the U.S government’s clandestine operations, has come forward to share the extent of the government’s knowledge and cover-up of extraterrestrial life and technology. He asserts that while our government has secretively kept this information under wraps, it has simultaneously perpetuated an elaborate disinformation campaign to stigmatize the very idea of extraterrestrials.
This disinformation strategy has been so skillfully executed that anyone daring to broach the subject of extraterrestrials was immediately sidelined as a conspiracy theorist, discrediting their claims, no matter how legitimate. The general consensus fostered was that talking about aliens was a mark of madness, hence the stereotype of the “tinfoil hat guy.”
However, David Grusch stands as a credible counter to this narrative. As someone with an intimate knowledge of the government’s inner workings, he presents a strong case – strong enough that the U.S Inspector General deemed his whistleblower complaint as “urgent and credible.”
Yet, one might ask why such earth-shattering information has not been leaked before. The answer, according to Grusch, lies in the government’s adept control of information flow and its ability to keep secrets. Many secrets have never seen the light of day, maintained under the tight wraps of national security and the imperative to avoid widespread panic. But these justifications become hard to swallow when we consider the potential benefits of such advanced technologies.
Grusch’s ultimate goal is not just the public revelation of NHI existence, but more importantly, the release of non-human technology for the benefit of all. He draws a comparison with nuclear physics – while nuclear weapons designs are kept classified, the underlying nuclear physics is open for all to study. In the same vein, Gruschargues, knowledge about extraterrestrial life and associated technology should not be suppressed.
Grusch’s revelations leave us standing at the precipice of a massive paradigm shift. If his allegations are indeed valid, the implications are world-changing, pushing us to reevaluate our place in the universe. We are now left grappling with the potential reality of non-human intelligence coexisting with us and the need to figure out our next steps.
What will be the reaction of these non-human intelligences when they realize we know about their existence? According to Grusch, they appear neutral, having stood by as humanity fought wars and perpetrated genocides.
Will the governments admit the truth, disband the military-industrial complex responsible for this colossal cover-up? Or will they continue to operate in shadows, keeping secrets and muzzling voices that dare to question?
The future of our planet and humanity is in question, underscoring the need for courage, integrity, and transparency from our governments. It took one individual to shed light on these secrets. It will require collective willpower to confront these revelations, navigate the uncharted waters, and make informed decisions about our shared future.

Astronomers studying the fastest and most dramatic nova ever recorded continue to find more puzzles than answers.
Novas are sudden, bright flares of light in a two-star system created when a white dwarf, the core of a dying star that has run out of fuel, steals material away from its companion star, causing the white dwarf to temporarily brighten. A nova known as V1674 Hercules found in a bizarre binary star system — made up of a white dwarf and a shredded companion in the Hercules constellation — has been the object of much interest since it first erupted two years ago on June 12, 2021. Astronomers were baffled by its light and energy, which rang like a bell, as well as its mysterious and intense winds that pumped stellar material into surrounding space.
Now, a team of researchers has spotted strange radio emissions sprouting from deep inside the V1674 Hercules nova that are very different from the high-temperature emissions normally seen during such events. "Right now, we're trying to determine if the non-thermal energy is coming from clumps of gas running into other clumped gas which produces shocks, or something else," Montana Williams, a graduate student at New Mexico Tech who is leading the new research, said in a statement.
Wiliams revealed the strange emissions last week in a news briefing at the 242nd meeting of the American Astronomical Society being held in Albuquerque and online. Those emissions may be from interactions among chunks of stellar material ejected during the explosion, which is quite rare for "classical nova" such as V1674 Hercules, Williams said.
"Classical novas have historically been considered simple explosions, emitting mostly thermal energy," she added in the statement. "Instead, it seems they're a bit more complicated."
To study V1674 Hercules, Williams and her colleagues are using the Very Long Baseline Array, which is a network of ten antennas spanning the United States from Mauna Kea in Hawaii to Saint Croix in Virgin Islands. By combining those observations with similar data from other telescopes also watching the nova, including the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array telescope facility in New Mexico and the space-based Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (or NuSTAR), the team hopes to understand what's causing the mysterious radio emissions.

Researchers can measure how fast a nova evolves by observing how long the explosion takes to fade two magnitudes from its peak brightness. Extremely fast events take less than 10 days, moderate can ones take up to 80 days and the slow ones take anywhere from 80 to 150 days. The V1674 Hercules nova (or V1674 Her), whose flash of light was so bright that it could be seen with the unaided eye, took only 1.1 days to dim two magnitudes, or to about one-sixth of its original brightness.
"V1674 Her at 1.1 days is on an extreme end of an already extreme end, so it earns the title of the fastest nova," Williams said at the news conference last week.
A newly released pair of images by Williams and her team depicts just how drastic that pulsating change in brightness was between July 2, 2021 and July 6, 2021.

Unlike supernovas which completely destroy a star in violent explosions, classical novas such as V1674 Hercules leave the host stars intact and fully capable of putting on multiple shows, giving astronomers many opportunities to study how the system works.
In a broad brush, astronomers say studying the behavior and evolution of V1674 Hercules could also shed light on how galaxies evolve across eons, since the material that novas blast out into surrounding space is eventually recycled by nearby galaxies to feed the next generation of stars and planets.

Synthetic human embryos raise ethical questions among experts
Synthetic human embryos raise ethical questions among experts

A team of UK and US scientists has announced that it’s created “synthetic human embryos”: embryos made from stem cells rather than human eggs or sperm.
The research, which is not yet peer-reviewed, was presented at the International Society for Stem Cell Research’s annual conference in Boston.
This breakthrough, which has previously been demonstrated in mice, could allow scientists to study human development during a period where comparatively little is known about how the foetus develops.
Currently, regulations in most countries stipulate that embryos and embryo-like structures cannot be cultivated in a lab for research beyond 14 days.
Stem-cell synthetic embryos are not caught up in the ban, and therefore could be used to sidestep the rule and study foetal development beyond two weeks.
The researchers, who are based at the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology, have cultivated their synthetic embryos to “just beyond” the equivalent of 14 days of development, according to The Guardian, which was the first to report on the discovery.
But it’s not yet clear whether these embryos could actually develop into humans, or if they should be subject to the same rules as other embryo-like structures.
“It is extremely important to develop a much deeper understanding of the earliest stages of human development, particularly as these are essential for developing better clinical responses to infertility, miscarriage, and developmental errors,” says Professor Rachel Ankeny, a researcher at the University of Adelaide who watched the presentation in Boston.
“We need to engage various publics about their understandings of and expectations from this sort of research, and more generally about their views on early human development, as these biological processes are deeply tied to our values and what we think counts as human life.”
Dr Kathryn MacKay, from the University of Sydney, points out that, while they didn’t need a full egg and sperm cell, the embryos still needed human embryonic cells to grow.
“If human embryonic stem cells are needed to create these human-like embryos for research, then synthetic embryos may not avoid having to use human embryos for research. This is an ongoing moral issue around respect for human life,” says MacKay.
“Further, there is a moral issue involved in creating something for research that may or may not have the potential to live as its own full entity. If they could live as their own full entities, then we must ask whether it is morally permissible to create living beings purely for research purposes.
MacKay says that, based on animal models, the synthetic embryos shouldn’t be able to grow into a human baby.
“This raises two further questions: One, if they are not the sort of thing that can really grow into a human baby, then how useful are they really for scientific knowledge into human reproduction and development? And two, will researchers decide that ‘fixing the problem’ of these embryos not being able to grow into human babies is something worth pursuing, for questionable ends?”
Other experts point out that, in addition to fertility and foetal development, synthetic embryos could be used to understand more about genetic diseases, longevity and ageing.
“It is likely that this work will allow us to develop new strategies to treat different developmental dysfunctions, and perhaps even extend lifespan,” says Professor Wojciech Chrzanowski, from the University of Sydney.
“This work on the one hand mitigates any ethical concerns related to fundamental biology research on embryos, but on the other hand, raises substantial concerns about whether such embryos will not be misused to generate some ‘super forms’ of life. Similarly, to the use of AI, the regulatory, ethical and integrity aspects are important to consider.”
Associate Professor Karinne Ludlow, from Monash University’s Faculty of Law, compares the discovery to a similar one announced by a Monash team in 2021: iBlastoids, structures also made from stem cells that closely resemble human embryos.
“The regulator ultimately determined that iBlastoids met the definition of a human embryo and were therefore subject to existing laws on embryo research. However, this decision was controversial,” says Ludlow.
Much remains to be learned about the synthetic embryos, including how similar they really are to human embryos, and what research they could help to encourage.
Professor Ankeny says: “It is critical that researchers be transparent about this type of research and what is known and unknown, in order to ensure that our regulatory processes address the necessary issues and that the public is assured that there are adequate oversight mechanisms and safeguards.”
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.

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.”
The reason it couldn't be left in orbit around Saturn is because some of Saturn's major moons - like Titan and Enceladus - are considered to have prime conditions that could support the emergence of life.
Not wanting to risk contamination, NASA scientists decided to end the mission by destroying the Cassini spacecraft.
One of the key bodies in the search for signs of life within our Solar System is Enceladus, due to the liquid water that exists beneath its frozen exterior.
As we know water is a key ingredient for life on Earth, Enceladus's liquid subsurface ocean makes it a prime target.
During its mission, the Cassini spacecraft made several dives through plumes erupting from deep inside Enceladus and found the moon's ice grains contain a wealth of minerals and organic compounds that are associated with life as we know it.

Now, scientists studying Cassini data have discovered phosphorus, which is a building block for DNA and is found in the bones of mammals, cell membranes and plankton in our ocea
"We previously found that Enceladus’ ocean is rich in a variety of organic compounds," says Frank Postberg of the Freie Universität Berlin, Germany, who led the new study, which has been published in the journal Nature.
"But now, this new result reveals the clear chemical signature of substantial amounts of phosphorus salts inside icy particles ejected into space by the small moon’s plume. It’s the first time this essential element has been discovered in an ocean beyond Earth."
Finding the ingredients for life

To make the discovery, the team studied Cassini data: specifically that collected by the spacecraft's Cosmic Dust Analyzer instrument when it sampled particles of ice from Enceladus found in Saturn's E ring.
They found high concentrations of sodium phosphates – molecules of chemically bound sodium, oxygen, hydrogen, and phosphorus – inside some ice grains.
Lab tests found that Enceladus’s ocean contains phosphorus in concentrations of at least 100 times that of Earth's oceans.

"High phosphate concentrations are a result of interactions between carbonate-rich liquid water and rocky minerals on Enceladus’ ocean floor and may also occur on a number of other ocean worlds," says co-investigator Christopher Glein of the Southwest Research Institute in San Antonio, Texas.
"This key ingredient could be abundant enough to potentially support life in Enceladus’ ocean; this is a stunning discovery for astrobiology."
However, the study authors are keen for caution when interpreting these results.
"Having the ingredients is necessary, but they may not be sufficient for an extraterrestrial environment to host life," says Glein.
"Whether life could have originated in Enceladus’ ocean remains an open question."
Claims the US government has secretly retrieved crashed alien spacecraft and their non-human occupants are hardly new. They are firmly entrenched in post-war American UFO lore and conspiracy theory, inspiring the most famous narrative in ufology: the "Roswell incident".
Now, however, journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal have injected fresh vigor into these aging claims – apparently with the Pentagon's approval.
In an article for science and technology news site The Debrief, they report the US government, its allies, and defense contractors have retrieved multiple craft of non-human origin, along with the occupants' bodies.
Additionally, they report this information has been illegally withheld from US Congress, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office established by the US Department of Defense in 2022 to look into UFOs, and the public.
What are the claims?
The primary source for the new claims is former US intelligence official David Grusch.
Grusch's credentials, verified by Kean and Blumenthal, are impressive. He is a veteran of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the National Reconnaissance Office. He represented both organizations on the US government's task force studying unidentified aerial phenomena (the official term for UFOs).
Unidentified aerial phenomena, such as this video taken by a US Navy pilot released in 2020, have been a source of renewed interest in recent years. (United States Navy/Public Domain/Wikimedia Commons)
Grusch says the retrieved materials are: "of exotic origin (non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin) based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures."
Grusch's claims are supported by Jonathan Grey, who works for the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, where he focuses on analysis of unidentified aerial phenomena.
Grey told Kean and Blumenthal: "The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone […] Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States."
How credible are the claims?
Kean and Blumenthal are credible and accomplished reporters on UFOs.
In 2017, writing with Helene Cooper for the The New York Times, they revealed a secret US$22 million Pentagon UFO research program. That article did much to initiate a wider rethinking about UFOs, avoiding stereotypes, stigma, and sensationalism.
Most of the subsequent "UFO turn" in US defense policy and public discourse has focused on images and eyewitness testimony of anomalous airborne objects.
Now, Kean and Blumenthal may have brought anomalous objects themselves – and even their supposed non-human occupants – into the conversation.
Shortly after the Debrief article, Australian journalist Ross Coulthart's interview with Grusch appeared on US news network News Nation. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Christopher Mellon, has also published an article in Politico calling for greater transparency.
This looks a lot like an orchestrated effort to convince the public (and US Congress) something much more substantial than "things in the sky we can't explain" is going on.
Approved by the Pentagon?
Grusch seems to have followed Pentagon protocol in publishing his information.
Kean and Blumenthal write Grusch: "provided the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review at the Department of Defense with the information he intended to disclose to us. His on-the-record statements were all "cleared for open publication" on April 4 and 6, 2023, in documents provided to us."
What does that mean?
A Prepublication and Security Review is how the Pentagon confirms information proposed for public release is reviewed to ensure compliance with established national and Department of Defense policies, and to determine it: "contains no classified, controlled unclassified, export-controlled, or operational security related information."
If Grusch's information is true, it is surely both "classified" and "operational security related".
So why would the Pentagon approve its publication?
If Grusch's information is false, it would probably not qualify as classified or operational security related. But this raises another question: why would the Pentagon approve the publication of an unfounded conspiracy theory about itself?
Doing so would likely mislead the public, journalists, and Congress. It would also undermine the Pentagon's own attempt to understand the unidentified aerial phenomena problem: the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
An official denial
Indeed, the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office told News Nation it: "has not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently."
Grusch has an explanation for this apparent ignorance.
When it comes to unidentified aerial phenomena investigations, he says, the US government's left hand doesn't know what its right is doing, with: "multiple agencies nesting [unidentified aerial phenomena] activities in conventional secret access programs without appropriate reporting to various oversight authorities."
Timothy Good's classic 1987 exploration of UFO investigations, Above Top Secret, described similar bureaucracy.
Nested activities and segregated knowledge
The notion of "nested" unidentified aerial phenomena activities, segregating knowledge within vast bureaucracies, is partly what makes Grusch's claims both intriguing and (for now) unverifiable.
If this is the case, organizations focusing on unidentified aerial phenomena, such as the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, may operate in earnest and report transparently on the best information they have. Yet they may also be deprived of information essential to their activities.
This would make them little more than PR fronts, designed to create the impression of meaningful action.
In the absence of direct experience of unidentified aerial phenomena, most of us rely on information about them to form our beliefs. Scrutinizing how this information is produced and distributed is essential.
US government activity in this area will continue. Congressman James Comer, chair of the House Oversight Committee, has said he will hold a hearing on UFOs in response to Grusch's allegations.
NASA Says ‘UFO’ Spotted Crashing in Las Vegas Was a Small Meteor; Cops Say They Hope to Find Aliens
NASA Says ‘UFO’ Spotted Crashing in Las Vegas Was a Small Meteor; Cops Say They Hope to Find Aliens
After police and citizens saw a bright meteor in the sky, cops unsuccessfully stalked what witnesses said were beings with glowing eyes nearly 10 feet tall.
SCREENCAPTURE FROM LAS VEGAS POLICE BODY CAMERA FOOTAGE; RED CIRCLE DRAWN BY MOTHERBOARD STAFF.
NASA’s planetary defense officer, Lindley Johnson, tells Motherboard that a green fireball observed last month by, among others, a Las Vegas police officer was likely a bright meteor less than a meter in size and certainly not a UFO that fell in anyone’s backyard.
Las Vegas cops, meanwhile, tell Motherboard that while they didn’t find aliens in a manhunt last month, they do hope to do so in the future, citing the city’s proximity to Area 51.
At issue here is footage that went wildly viral over the weekend depicting the aftermath of a UFO sighting. Last month, as reported by KLAS, a man called the Las Vegas police to report something startling: After an object fell from the sky, he and his family saw a non-human being at least eight feet tall in their backyard.
“It has big eyes and it’s looking at us,” the man told a 911 dispatcher.
Body camera footage documenting the police response to the call shows that officers on the scene found the report credible. The first of two videos released in response to records requests show officers responding to the call in the early morning hours of May 1. As they pull up to a house, four people are on a lawn. The footage went viral over the weekend after the KLAS report.
“It was like a big creature,” says another. “Around 10 feet tall.”
A police officer immediately reassures him that he finds their story credible.
“I’m not gonna BS you guys,” he says. “One of my partners saw something fall out of the sky, too.”
Footage captured by another police officer’s body camera earlier that night in the same area indeed appears to show a glowing green orb falling out of the sky. This object was recorded in the American Meteor Society’s fireball logs, but not those of NASA’s Center for Near Earth Object Studies, or CNEOS. While discrepancies like this are the sort of thing that fuels conspiracy theories about NASA coverups, Johnson, the planetary defense officer, offered a straightforward explanation, saying, “The CNEOS website only captures reports for objects that are estimated to have exceeded 1 meter in size based on the observed total energy released—in other words natural objects which were large enough to be categorized as asteroids prior to entering Earth’s atmosphere.”
Based on its observed speed, he added, it would have been high in the atmosphere and hundreds of miles away from Las Vegas at the time it was spotted. “So nothing from the meteor landed in anyone’s backyard in Vegas,” he said.
Unaware of all this, police responding to the 911 call promptly and apparently conscientiously searched the family’s backyard; 16 minutes of this footage was redacted because, police told Motherboard, it was taken on private property. (They assured Motherboard that no UFO was found.) When the footage resumes, the officer is assuring witnesses that even though he hasn’t found a UFO he finds their report credible, noting that while he was on a call at a nearby Target, one of his partners had seen what she thought was a shooting star in the sky—exactly at the same time the eyewitnesses had seen a mysterious object fall from the heavens.
More body camera footage from another officer reveals that an extensive search took place, with the officer, after asking a witness if he’d seen which way the aliens went, flagging down a car to ask the occupants to ask if they’d seen a UFO or tall, non-human beings.
“Hey, this might sound like a really dumb question,” he says, “but did you guys see anything fall out of the sky?”
The people in the car say they did not see anything.
“We got a call and one of my partners actually said that they saw it, too,” the officer says before explaining that their neighbors had described a UFO crashing and urging them to call 911 if they saw an alien. “They said they saw something with eight to nine feet, no clothes, green-colored men, not human, with, like, the eyes were glowing and it was not a human being.”
As the officers were departing the scene, one of the witnesses said he was uneasy spending the night at home after what he’d seen.
“I’m going to a hotel, man,” he said.
Last week, one of the witnesses released a video describing his experiences titled “I had aliens in my backyard.”
It takes a lot of work to send a postcard from Mars.
NASA’s Curiosity Rover recently pointed its navigation cameras back the way it had come to capture two panoramic photos of the rover’s tracks leading out of Marker Band Valley. Curiosity imaging team members created a composite of the images, which was released Monday
You can still get a hint that it’s a composite: The giveaway is in the drastically different angles of the shadows on each side of the image. One panorama shows a mid-morning view, while the other shows late afternoon — both timed to take advantage of the most dramatic natural lighting and the dark, deep shadows of Martian winter.
The Marker Band Valley gets its name from a thin, dark, and surprisingly tough layer of rock that runs along the valley’s walls. Scientists aren’t sure exactly what the marker band is made of because the frustratingly tough rock has resisted all of Curiosity’s efforts to drill out a sample. But it’s home to surprising traces of an ancient lake in an area that mission planners expected to have been dry even during Mars’s warmer, wetter past, Curiosity found layers of rippled rock, still bearing the texture left behind by waves in an ancient lake.
Billions of years ago, waves in an ancient lake carved these ripples into the lake bottom, and now they’re preserved in rock.
NASA
If you want to send home a panoramic view from Mars, though, it’s not quite as easy as clicking the panorama option on your phone’s camera and then panning around the horizon (yet). Combined, the two images took about 15 minutes to capture, and each one arrived on Earth as five individual photos, which NASA teams had to carefully stitch together using computer software.
Next, they carefully blended the two panoramas together. And because Curiosity’s navigation camera only takes photos in black and white, NASA decided to add a filter; they carefully colorized both images, using a deep blue sky for the morning shot and a cheery yellow for the afternoon.
This panorama is actually ten separate photos, carefully stitched together and with false color added.
NASA
The result is a stunning postcard from Gale Crater, where Curiosity has been exploring since 2012. Curiosity’s tracks in the Martian sand lead back toward a valley called Marker Band Valley, which is home to an ancient lakebed. In the far background, you can see the edge of Gale Crater, 25 miles away and receding into the distance as Curiosity scales Mount Sharp. Beyond the crater’s rim, clear winter skies afford a rare view of an even more distant mountain, 75 miles away from the rover.
How Science Fiction Sparked Our Flights to the Final Frontier
The commercial spaceflight revolution didn’t begin with Elon Musk. Or with Jeff Bezos, or Richard Branson, or any of the other billionaires who’ve spent a fortune on the final frontier over the past 20 years.
Would you believe it began with Jules Verne in the 1860s?
That’s the perspective taken by Jeffrey Manber, one of the pioneers of the 21st-century spaceflight revolution, in a book tracing the roots of private-sector spaceflight to the French novelist.
“The first realistic steps taken in rocket development were because of a French science-fiction book,” Manber says in the latest episode of the Fiction Science podcast. “And that’s an underlying theme, in that we really needed a commercial ecosystem to get going. It’s not a government decree.”
The influence of Verne’s classic spaceflight novel, “From the Earth to the Moon,” continues to the present day: For example, when Bezos built the headquarters for his Blue Origin rocket venture, he brought in a Verne-inspired, Victorian-style rocket ship (complete with a cushy cockpit) to serve as the centerpiece of the building’s lobby.
Manber also pays tribute to Jules Verne in the title of his book series: “From the Earth to Mars.” He’s writing the story chapter by chapter, and the first two chapters recently came out as a 106-page volume.
Verne’s story resonated with Manber for several reasons: First, the heroes of the story aren’t government employees, but members of a a group called the Baltimore Gun Club. They raise the money to build a giant gun as well as a projectile big enough for three club members to climb inside. A blastoff from Florida sends the trio on a thrilling ride to the moon and back, ending with a Pacific Ocean splashdown.
Manber loves the “eerie similarities” to NASA’s Apollo moon missions, but he’s even more impressed by the tale’s impact on early rocketeers.
Russian rocket scientist Konstantin Tsiolkovsky was so taken by the tale that he looked into whether a giant gun could actually fire a spaceship to the moon. He determined that it couldn’t, but went on to work out what’s now known as the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation. Tsiolkovsky also came up with the idea of using multistage rockets, with liquid oxygen and hydrogen as an option for propellants.
“From the Earth to Mars: The Surprising History of the Rocket Pioneers Who Launched Humanity Into Space,” by Jeffrey Manber. (Multiverse Media)
In his book, Manber traces the cross-fertilization that took place between Russian and German rocketeers, as well as between those rocketeers and science-fiction writers. For example, German rocket scientist Hermann Oberth collaborated with famed filmmaker Fritz Lang on a 1929 movie called “The Woman in the Moon,” based on Oberth’s ideas as well as a story written by Lang’s wife, Thea von Harbou. (You can watch the full movie on the Internet Archive, but skip the first 90 minutes to get to the good stuff.)
Once again, the connections between fiction and reality are eerie: During the making of the movie, Lang invented the second-by-second countdown as a device to heighten the drama of a rocket launch. He even tried to film an actual rocket launch for a scene in the movie. That idea fizzled out — but years after the movie was released, the Nazis recruited Oberth along with other technical advisers to work on their V-2 missile program. (They also banned showings of the movie and destroyed Lang’s rocket models, for fear they would expose secrets.)
“You can trace that to the V-2,” Manber said.
The first installment of “From the Earth to Mars” ends before the Nazis and the V-2 enter the picture. But future installments will address that dark chapter as well as the development of government-led space programs in Russia, the U.S. and China.
“I want people to know what our roots are, and it’s going to keep going all the way to the present,” Manber said.
Fast-forward to the future
Some of the narrative will surely draw upon Manber’s decades of personal experience in space commercialization. As the head of a company called MirCorp, he basically turned Russia’s Mir space station into a privately financed operation during its final days in 2000. A couple of years later, he came oh-so-close to sending boy-band singer Lance Bass to the International Space Station.
Manber was more successful with the space venture that followed, Nanoracks, which blazed a trail for commercial research and satellite deployment on the space station. Nanoracks and its current parent company, Voyager Space, arranged to have the Bishop Airlock added to the space station in 2021, marking another milestone for commercial space development. Today, Voyager Space and Nanoracks are part of an industry team that’s developing a commercial space station called Starlab with backing from NASA.
Manber has eased back on his corporate responsibilities — but last month, he was awarded NASA’s Distinguished Public Service Medal for “developing the foundation for the nascent commercial economy” in low Earth orbit through his work at MirCorp and Nanoracks. “I can take some solace that in space, with what we were handed, we’ve taken it and passed it along in better shape,” he said.
So, what about the next chapters in the real-life space saga? Manber offered a few predictions about the twists that are likely to lie ahead on the path from the Earth to Mars:
When will humans set foot on Mars? “I am a very cautious human being,” Manber said. “My cautious answer will be, I finally believe we will return to the moon and go on to Mars sooner than the pessimists believe.” But SpaceX and its CEO, Elon Musk, could force a radical change in Manber’s calculations. “I’ll put it to you this way,” he said. “If he gets Starship going in the next year or two, we’re going to Mars sooner than you and I think.”
If SpaceX can get itsStarship super-rocket through testing and into operation, that would be a game-changer, Manber said. “In fact, it’s so much of a game-changer, I have concerns about monopolistic behavior,” he said. “I didn’t fight for 30, 40 years to make this a commercial marketplace, or a competition, to replace one single point with another, which would be SpaceX. … I like the dream. I like all that. But I want competition.”
Manber said U.S.-Chinese space cooperation seems more likely, despite longstanding limits on technological ties. “I understand very well the tensions in the South China Sea, the economic tensions, but there’s always that room for that thing called commercial,” he said. “I see no reason today, 2023, that we should not be doing commercial work in space with the Chinese.”
The consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have shaken Manber’s faith in international space cooperation. U.S.-Russian cooperation is continuing on the International Space Station, but Manber doubts that will carry over to future projects. “Everything I worked on grinds to a halt, except for the ISS,” he said.
Is America hiding Alien technology? – Indian Media covers the Grusch story
Is America hiding Alien technology? – Indian Media covers the Grusch story
In the unending stretch of the cosmos, secrets are born and concealed. Among these mysteries, the question of the existence of extraterrestrial life has long sparked intrigue and debate. The universe, sprawling across 93 billion light years and cradling approximately two trillion galaxies, is a treasure trove of infinite possibilities. Yet, despite its vastness, the question persists: Are we alone?
Since time immemorial, the human species has reported enigmatic sightings of inexplicable lights and flying objects. The first known mention dates back to 440 BCE in ancient Egypt, when scribes reported observing fiery discs floating in the skies. Interestingly, even 10,000-year-old rock paintings found in India’s Bastar region depict UFO-like entities.
Despite these historical records, the concrete evidence of otherworldly beings remains elusive. However, recent claims made by an ex-U.S intelligence official, David Charles Grusch, have rekindled this perennial debate.
Grusch, a combat veteran of Afghanistan and an ex-member of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) task force, asserts that the U.S. is harboring intact and partially intact vehicles of non-human origin. Moreover, Jonathan Gray, another U.S Intel official working at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center, has confirmed these allegations, suggesting that we are not alone.
The credibility of these claims is underpinned by Grusch’s formidable credentials. Serving on the UAP task force from 2019 to 2021 as a representative of the National Reconnaissance Office, his reputation is considered solid within intelligence circles. His whistleblowing has led to the U.S House of Representatives planning an oversight committee to investigate these assertions.
This isn’t the first time the U.S. government has probed the UFO phenomena. Past endeavors include Project Blue Book, Project Grudge, and Project Serpo. These investigations, although suspended or concluded without definitive answers, have nonetheless strengthened the idea that UFOs exist.
Worldwide, other nations have also delved into the enigma of extraterrestrial life, from the United Kingdom’s secret studies to the Soviet Union’s 13-year operation, Institute 22. All these probes, while not conclusively determining the origin of UFOs, concur on their existence.
Yet, in spite of the global fascination, the source of these UFOs remains shrouded in mystery. Some theories suggest they’re controlled by extraterrestrial beings with no interest in human contact, while others propose they’re human-made, leveraging unknown laws of physics.
Today, the quest for truth continues. If Grusch’s claims hold water, it could potentially turn our understanding of the cosmos upside down. As the U.S. House of Representatives prepares to delve deeper into these allegations, we might be on the brink of a revelation.
In the vast expanse of the universe, the possibility of other civilizations existing seems less like fiction and more like a hidden truth waiting to be discovered. Whether these elusive entities are cosmic neighbors or mere figments of our collective imagination, the human yearning for knowledge and the thrill of the unknown will continue to drive our quest for answers.
The reality of alien existence, whether proven or disproven, will bring a seismic shift in our understanding of life and our place in the universe. The clock is ticking, and perhaps, we are on the precipice of an ontological shock that could redefine our perception of the cosmos forever.
In the 1940s, the CIA first became involved in UFOs. Since then, a number of former US military personnel and CIA officers have advanced UFOlogy by making stunning remarks. Former CIA and US military officials including R. James Woolsey, John Brennan, Jim Semivan, Lue Elizondo, and others have described how the existence of reality all around us that we are unable to perceive could be a major aspect of the UFO phenomenon.
Since 2021, John Ramirez, who spent 25 years in the CIA, has been providing truthful insights into the UAPs that he learned in his career. He is a highly intelligent individual who has an immense amount of knowledge and experience regarding the U.S. intelligence apparatus and the UAP subject. He has made an impressive social media presence after he revealed many UAP-related mysteries that had never been discussed in public by any government official.
CIA retired John Ramirez, who specialized in ballistic missile defense systems, worked for the CIA from 1984 to 2009, holding positions in the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, the Directorate of Science and Technology, and the Directorate of Intelligence. He attained GS-15 grade, which indicates that he worked for the agency in a relatively senior capacity.
His appearance on the highly acclaimed Witness Citizen podcast on October 17, 2021 created a huge burst in the UFO community. Later, Ramirez made an appearance on Project Unity, where he delivered a series of slides to assist researchers in navigating the FOIA process. Ramirez was particularly helpful in identifying the appropriate agencies to contact when requesting particular types of information.
The slides, which are available online, also include historical information about UFOs and current statements made by prominent former U.S. intelligence officials, including John Ratcliffe, a former director of national intelligence. He stated a schematic on how to investigate a UFO in the CIA style:
Establish a group to investigate and evaluate sightings; Determine the objectives of your investigation; Consult with experts; Create a reporting system to organize incoming cases; Eliminate false positives; Develop a methodology to identify common aircraft and other aerial phenomena often mistaken for UFOs; Examine witness documentation; Conduct controlled experiments; Gather and test physical and forensics evidence and Discourage false reporting.
Ramirez made assumptions regarding the current UFO disclosure procedure, and it appears that his opinions may have been influenced by members of the intelligence community, either current or former, or perhaps by individuals connected to the Department of Defense. During his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez claimed that the US government does not currently discuss the UFO craft’s occupants. This is a significant comment from Ramirez, who has asserted his opinion that UFOs may indeed represent a form of non-human intelligence.
John Ramirez retired from the agency recently as an officer with GS-15 status.
Ramirez is not the first CIA agent to make the assertion that UFOs might be non-human intelligence. John Brennan, a former CIA director, suggested that UFOs might be “a different form of life.” Brennan said: “You try to ensure that you have as much data as possible in terms of visuals and also different types of maybe technical collection of sensors that you have at the time. (Source)
Also, I believe, it’s important to reach out into other environments and find out, were there any type of weather phenomena at that time that might have, in fact, created the appearance of the phenomenon that you’re looking at? Were there some things that were happening on the ground, or other types of phenomena that could help explain what seems to be quite a mystery as far as what is there? You really have to approach it with an open mind, but get as much data as possible and get as much expertise as possible brought to bear.”
Ramirez made an intriguing statement in response to the rumor that the US government is reluctant to discuss the potential UFO occupants. The U.S. Air Force may be partially to blame for this current stance, according to Ramirez. However, not for obvious reasons. He commented:
“The air force and their exploitation of that type of technology made a mess of things, as when people see the triangular craft, and they’re not flying in space but in our atmosphere, it points to the fact that we know what the triangles are and we want people to think they’re seeing UFOs because then people won’t know exactly what they’re seeing.”
Some speculated that Ramirez suggests that the USAF may be responsible for sightings of triangular aircraft, which some have dubbed the TR3B. On the Joe Rogan Experience, Tom Delonge implied that the United States government owned such vessels, but also said that some of them belonged to other intelligence. Delonge claimed that triangle-shaped craft, assuming they contain tail fins, symbolize human technology.
According to a member of the US House of Representatives Tim Burchett, it may all have started after the government recovered crashed alien vehicles. During an interview for On Balance With Leland Vittert, Burchett was asked about the Navy’s possession of more videos of UFOs that it is not willing to release to the public for reasons of National Security.
If anti-gravitic crafts exist, then potentially, such technology will be disclosed throughout the disclosure process. Former senator Harry Reid has already asserted that Lockheed Martin may have UFO materials, thus perhaps technology does exist. According to Lue Elizondo, the disclosure procedure and potential international collaboration (including with China) may lead to amazing technological advancements. (Source)
Ross Coulthart, an investigative journalist, in his tweet shared a link to a YouTube video (which is now private), stating John Ramirez tells IUFOC the agency’s weird desk investigations into UAP never stopped from the 1940s. “These are ongoing programs from the very beginning. They are still there.” It’s “more than” just the Pentagon’s AAWSAP-AATIP. Check the below Twitter thread to understand the context Coulthart is trying to explain.
“There for them to ask me questions. But it was very clear to me that AATIP was not the first of its kind effort. There was an organized effort back in the 80s to do exactly this as well. Now how far they got, I don’t know because what was told to me, verbatim,” Elizondo said.
Ramirez also experienced what might be considered alien abduction-type experiences, including being placed on an examination table in a circular craft. Interestingly, a number of his counterparts in the CIA and NSA also had UFO experiences, he revealed. In his job related to missile defense, he became aware of times when Russian radar would detect unusual craft, and in one instance, he said they tried to lure a UAP into landing.
Ramirez noted that CIA historian Gerald Haines wrote about the agency’s study of UFOs from 1947 through the 1990s, for a division that was initially called the Office of Scientific Intelligence. What was particularly intriguing to Ramirez is that the division had life sciences and medical people on staff, indicating possible interest in alien bodies.
He also described how an Air Force pilot on the plane that flew near Kamchatka to monitor Russian tests observed a massive “milky white wall” of light flying toward him at 6,200 mph, though the Air Force assumed it was some kind of countermeasure by the Russians. Regarding the military sightings of “trans-medium” UAP like the Tic Tacs, Ramirez said he does not believe that Russia or any other foreign country has the capabilities to produce this kind of antigravity technology.
Elizondo made these points in several interviews, but in this one, he was asked to elaborate on his comments about how our senses are reductive and limit our reality, and how this might be relevant to the phenomenon.
In his interview with Project Unity, Ramirez opined that Humans are hybrids. According to him, Elizondo is unable to use the word “hybridization,” but the Pentagon employees are counting on him to do so eventually. Elizondo discussed the possibility that non-human intelligence have been in contact with humans for a very long time on the Theories of Everything podcast. This would imply that we have all forgotten about our own past, which would hide the possibility that we are hybrids of humans and extraterrestrials.
Something is coming in 2027
On Podcast UFO with Martin Wills, Ramirez claimed that government is aware of an impending event in 2027 which will reveal something quite significant so people are being prepared. He has been stating that there is a presence on Earth (which he refers demonic) who are just projecting their own belief systems to make us disbelieve in what we believe. Wills asked Ramirez what would happen if there was mass Landing? would we just simply prepare for a conflict or would we actually initiate something? (Source)
Former CIA replied:
“I think the dialogue we have now in this country, even with the recent legislation that passed through the legislature and is on its way up to the president’s desk, is preparing the U.S population, and by extension the world population, for the reality that there is a presence here that we need to explain. If they show up and we continue to do what we did before in previous decades, there will be mass panic. However, if we understand that these are real and we have five years from 2022, or maybe now four years, if they come in 2027, for the US government to prepare the people about what is up there.
In many ways, I think the word got out within the government that they’re showing up in 2027, and we better be prepared. If not, there’s going to be a lot of explaining to do. So, I think that dialogue has happened within certain areas inside the government, that we need to prepare.
That’s why in 2017, that set a clock of 10 years, and why Lou Elizondo earlier in this year said, “Just find a hobby for five years, and it’ll all be out in five years,” and he said that this year, so that was 2027. I’ve heard 2027 in an official capacity, and I can’t reveal, so I would say that people in the government are aware of something happening, and there’s limited time, a few more years to prepare the people. That’s what’s wrapping up this acceleration from the previous seven decades of not even acknowledging it to now acknowledging it at a faster and faster pace.”
On Earth, a single solar day lasts 24 hours. That is the time it takes for the Sun to return to the same place in the sky as the day before. The Moon, Earth’s only natural satellite, takes about 27 days to complete a single circuit around our planet and orbits at an average distance of 384,399 km (~238,854.5 mi). Since time immemorial, humans have kept track of the Sun, the Moon, and their sidereal and synodic periods. To the best of our knowledge, the orbital mechanics governing the Earth-Moon system have been the same, and we’ve come to take them for granted.
But there was a time when the Moon orbited significantly closer to Earth, and the average day was much shorter than today. According to a recent study by a pair o researchers from China and Germany, an average day lasted about 19 hours for one billion years during the Proterozoic Epoch – a geological period during the Precambrian that lasted from 2.5 billion years to 541 million years ago. This demonstrates that rather than gradually increasing over time (as previously thought), the length of a day on Earth remained constant for an extended period.
In past decades, geologists examined a special type of sedimentary rock that contains preserved layers from tidal mud flats. By counting the number of sedimentary layers caused by tidal fluctuations, they could determine the number of hours per day during previous geological periods. But such records are rare, and those examined were often disputed regarding their age. However, there is another method for estimating day length known as Cyclostratigraphy, which Mitchell and Kircher employed for their study.
This geologic method examines rhythmic sedimentary layering to detect Milankovitch cycles, which describe how changes in the eccentricity and obliquity of Earth’s orbit affect its climate over time. In recent years, there has been a proliferation in the number of Milankovitch records that deal with the ancient past. In fact, over half the data concerning ancient geological periods has been obtained in just the past seven years. This allowed Mitchell and Kircher to test a previously-unproven theory. As Kirscher explained in a recent CAS press release:
“Two Milankovitch cycles, precession and obliquity, are related to the wobble and tilt of Earth’s rotation axis in space. The faster rotation of early Earth can therefore be detected in shorter precession and obliquity cycles in the past. Because of this, if in the past these two opposite forces were to have become equal to each other, such a tidal resonance would have caused Earth’s day length to stop changing and to have remained constant for some time.”
In short, this theory posits that day length may have remained at a constant value in the past for extended periods of time rather than gradually growing longer. A key factor in this is “solar atmospheric tides,” where the “push” of charged solar particles from the Sun (aka. solar wind) is related to the heating of our atmosphere during the daytime. This is similar to how lunar tides, caused by the “pull” of the Moon’s gravity, are related to the rise and fall of ocean levels. But whereas the Moon’s gravity has slowly slowed Earth’s rotation down, the Sun was responsible for speeding it up.

While solar tides are not as strong as their lunar counterpart today, this may not have always been the case. When Earth was rotating faster in the past, the influence of the Moon’s gravitational pull would have been much weaker. When Mitchell and Kirscher examined the data compilation, they noted that between two to one billion years ago, Earth’s day length appears to have stopped its long-term increase and stopped at about 19 hours. According to Mitchell, this period is alternately known as “the billion years” or the “boring billion.”
What is especially intriguing about the new result is how the “boring billion” occurred between the two largest rises in oxygen content in our atmosphere. These were the Great Oxidation Event, where photosynthetic bacteria dramatically increased the amount of oxygen in the atmosphere, and the Cryogenian period (aka. “Snowball Earth”) – a glacial period where the entire surface (or close to it) was covered in ice. If confirmed, these results indicate that the evolution of Earth’s rotation is related to the composition of its atmosphere.
The study also supports the idea that longer days were needed before photosynthetic bacteria could produce enough oxygen to reach modern atmospheric levels (24%). However, this study’s main implication is how it alters astronomers perceptions of Earth’s rotation in the past (or “paleorotation”). For a long time, it has been theorized that the Moon gradually absorbed Earth’s rotational energy, slowing the planet down, boosting the Moon into a higher orbit, and creating a 24-hour day. But these results indicate there was a break in that process between 2 billion and 1 billion years ago. As Kirscher summarized:
“Most models of Earth’s rotation predict that day length was consistently shorter and shorter going back in time. Two Milankovitch cycles, precession, and obliquity, are related to the wobble and tilt of Earth’s rotation axis in space. The faster rotation of early Earth can therefore be detected in shorter precession and obliquity cycles in the past.”

Dr. Steven Greer: UFO whistleblowers drop bombshell on D.C. - Secrets Antarctica station, secret space program and more
Two day ago, Dr. Steven Greer held a stunning UFO disclosure press event at Washington's D.C. press club. Led by renowned researchers, members of the military, defense contractors and former government officials, this conference revealed shocking testimony about the secrets of an Antarctica station, the secret space program, reverse engineered alien craft, and massive crimes and cover up.
Speakers:
Michael Herrera former US Marine who witnessed a (deep state) UFO in Indonesia See our article, dated: June 6, 2023 - Former Marine witnessed UFO being loaded with weapons by unmarked US forces in Indonesie
Steven Digma former US Army who witnessed a UFO he was not supposed to see that left him brain damaged as a result of an explosion and microwave pulse coming from the UFO.
Eric Hecker, Raytheon contractor worked at the Ice Cube Neutrino observatory at Antarctica from 2010-2011. The observatory constructed at the Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station in Antarctica.
Scientists bored 86 holes in the ice. Each hole is almost 2.5 kilometers deep and about 60 centimeters wide and contains 60 basketball-sized sensors, what they call DOMS. Totally there are 5160 sensors embedded in the ice which actually can transmit 2470 volt each.
The station do what they say, it is designed to look for point sources of neutrinos in the teraelectronvolt (TeV) range to explore the highest-energy astrophysical processes... but it does much more...
Eric Hecker states that this Antarctica station is a huge air traffic control power station that monitors all interstellar craft that be operated by humans as well as non-humans.
Besides, he says that the thousands of sensors located under the Antarctic ice, distributed over a cubic kilometer is effectively a direct energy weapon platform.
And according to Eric it also is used for faster than light communications for example to and from the secret space fleet, discovered by Gary McKinnon in 2002 by hacking United States military and NASA computers.
Eric also witnessed a powerful green laser on top of this facility beaming into the cosmos; he believes this is a secondary form of long range communications or defense system.
It should come as no surprise that Google Earth has covered the area in the center of Antarctica where the Ice Cube Neutrino observatory is located.
Like Steven Greer said: The biggest secret is not the extraterrestrial issue, it is the technology developed by the deep state through the capture and reverse engineering of alien craft over the years (The secret retrieval UFO program) and the use of this technology which is a threat to the national security. The deep state (cabal) is all running this, they are running all these UAPs and more including the secret space program.
The deep state is happy to take billions of your tax money, not only to fund their black (UFO/UAP) projects, but also to scare you into believing the aliens are a threat, eventually allowing them to launch a false flag alien invasion, with the aim of establishing a world government.

700,000-Year-Old Tools Found in Greece Rewrite History
700,000-Year-Old Tools Found in Greece Rewrite History
The rich historical tapestry of Greece has been dramatically expanded with the recent discovery of hunting tools dating back an astonishing 700,000 years. Unearthed in a coal mine in Megalopolis, these ancient stone tools have not only pushed back Greece's historical timeline by a staggering quarter of a million years but have also opened a window into the development of our ancient hominin ancestors before their migration to northern Europe.
Megalopolis: Where Time Began
The ancient Greek city of Megalopolis was located in Arcadia, a region in the central Peloponnese peninsula of Greece. The original settlement was founded in 371 BC by the Theban general Epaminondas, during the Peloponnesian War, to counter the power of Sparta and to support the independence of the smaller Greek city-states.
Megalopolis shares the same sun-battered landscapes as Olympia, Mycenae and Pylos, each of which feature centrally in Greek mythology. Olympia, the home of the Olympic Games, housed the chief sacred site of the god Zeus, and Mycenae was the city of the legendary King Agamemnon who led the Greeks during the Trojan War. Pylos, was a centre of the Mycenaean civilization most famously ruled by King Nestor, and it featured in Homer's Iliad and Odyssey.
But now, the recent discovery of very ancient stone tools in a coal mine are shadowing the nation's semi-mythological history, by revealing valuable secrets about the development of our ancient hominin ancestors, before they populated northern Europe.
A Game Changing Discovery
According to a report in Greek City Times the latest archaeological discoveries in Megalopolis are “game-changing.” In the oldest-known archaeological site in Greece, dating back approximately 700,000 years, not only did the archaeologists recover the remains of now extinct giant deer, elephants, hippopotamus, rhinoceros, and a macaque monkey, but they also found stone tools from the Lower Palaeolithic period (3.3 million to 300,000 years old).

Used for butchering animals and chopping plants approximately 700,000 years ago, the still sharp stone flakes are suspected to have been manufactured by a Lower Palaeolithic Homo antecessor, considered a possible ancestor of both Neanderthals and modern humans. While this is yet to be confirmed, if hominin remains are discovered, the find pushes back Greece’s official archaeological record by up to 250,000 years.
Until now, the oldest tools in Greece date back to around 500,000 years ago, and were discovered in the Petralona Cave, in the Chalkidiki region of northern Greece. These stone tools were unearthed alongside the fossilized remains of an ancient human skull, known as the Petralona Skull , and such a discovery would need to be made at the Megalopolis site to definitely date the new discoveries.
An article in Breaking News said these “groundbreaking discoveries surpass any previously known archaeological record in Greece.” And, if the dating is confirmed, what these finds demand, effectively, is a rewriting of Greek archaeology with a new starting point at around 700,000 years ago.
A Second Stunning Discovery
In addition to this main discovery, the team of archaeologists explored a second site in the Megalopolis area where they found “the oldest Middle Palaeolithic remains ever found in Greece, dating back approximately 280,000 years.” In conclusion, the researchers said of this second discovery, that it suggests Greece played a significant role in stone industry developments throughout ancient Europe, “solidifying its position as a pivotal hub of ancient civilisation.” Furthermore, the researchers said this discovery further illustrates what is known about “hominin migrations to Europe and human evolution as a whole.”
Megalopolis declined in importance following the rise of Macedon under Philip II and his son, Alexander the Great, and it finally lost its prominence during the Roman era, after which it faded into obscurity. Today, the ancient ruins of Megalopolis can still be visited, but these new archaeological discoveries extend well beyond the ancient city's history and architecture, providing new insights into Greece’s ancient past.

Military contractor Raytheon Technologies has announced the delivery of a fully portable, combat-ready laser to the United States Air Force. This marks the fourth such delivery by Raytheon to the Air Force, with the latest laser said to be fully portable and immediately ready for deployment.
“The new palletized laser weapon was the first 10-kilowatt laser built to U.S. military specifications in a stand-alone configuration that can be moved and mounted anywhere it’s needed,” explains a press release sent out by the company.
Known internally as “H4,” the combat-ready laser is not only the fourth such weapon delivered by Raytheon to the Air Force but is the eighth overall such weapon that Raytheon has delivered to the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD).
The Debrief has previously covered a number of similar combat laser weapons under development, including the company’s High Energy Laser Weapons System (HELWS) as well an entry from Lochheed-Martin dubbed the most powerful combat laser ever built. But this newest combat laser is the first to boast a readiness for immediate deployment alongside unprecedented portability. This means it can be attached to a wide range of vehicles used in combat situations and put into real-world combat use right away.
Such versatility and readiness are significant since the 21st-century battlefield is continually changing with all kinds of new threats. Of course, the new laser, which is rated at 10 kW, isn’t the most powerful, but it is well-suited to protect forward forces against asymmetrical attacks primarily from the rapidly expanding use of low-cost drones.
“Anywhere the Air Force sees a threat from drones, they now have four proven laser weapons that can be deployed to stop asymmetrical threats,” said Michael Hofle, senior director of High-Energy Lasers at Raytheon Technologies. “Whether it’s on a fixed location, a flatbed, or even a pickup, these laser weapons are compact, rugged, and ready to go.”
“We’re proud to support the Air Force’s effort to provide this new tech to the personnel who need it in the field,” added Hofle, “who can trust and be confident in the system’s capabilities.”
The press release also points out that the new laser weapon system “comprises a high-energy laser weapon module, a long-range EO/IR sensor that also serves as the beam director, thermal control, internal electrical power, and targeting software.”
That same release notes that the laser system can be operated with a laptop and a video game-style controller and “can plug into a long list of existing air defense and command and control systems to provide a needed layer of defense.”
The DOD is increasingly looking at combat lasers and other directed energy weapons like the microwave system known simply as “Thor’s Hammer” to address a number of emerging threats. The more powerful combat laser weapons under development range anywhere from 100 kW to 300 kW and are potentially capable of downing incoming missiles and possibly even enemy aircraft. But the most common threat posed to forces is the ever-expanding use of drones, simply because of their low cost and ease of use.
There is also an inherent cost benefit to using lasers over conventional munitions, which is the only current option for downing incoming aerial threats, as their ammunition is simply light and, therefore, significantly cheaper than conventional ammunition.
This cost-benefit was highlighted by the Israeli Ministry of Defense, which has deployed a laser system known as Iron Beam to complement its Iron Dome system that uses conventional rockets to down enemy drones, mortars, and missiles.
“This is the world’s first energy-based weapons system that uses a laser to shoot down incoming UAVs, rockets & mortars at a cost of $3.50 per shot,” read a tweet by Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennet. Compared to the cost of an Iron Dome rocket, which some estimates say can cost as much as $150,000 a shot, the benefits of using lasers in combat are readily apparent.
The announcement from Raytheon and the Air Force does not give a specific timeline for deployment of the H4, but based on the weapon’s portability and combat-ready status, it is likely to see action almost immediately.

Ongeziene hittegolf in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan baart wetenschappers zorgen
Er worden recordhoge temperaturen gemeten in het noorden van de Atlantische Oceaan. Nog nooit zagen wetenschappers zo hoge oppervlaktetemperaturen, en dat al drie maanden lang. Momenteel is de gemiddelde temperatuur 22,7°C. Dat is maar liefst 0,5°C boven het vorige record uit 2010. Wetenschappers maken zich dan ook ernstig zorgen.
Lander Van Tricht
Het eerste record dit jaar werd gebroken op 5 maart. De gemiddelde temperatuur van de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan steeg toen tot 19,9°C. Sindsdien liggen de temperaturen steevast op recordniveau. Op 11 juni bereikten de temperaturen een voorlopig hoogtepunt van 22,7°C. Het is dan ook niet verwonderlijk dat de wetenschap vol verbazing en ongerust naar deze ontwikkelingen kijkt.
Verschillende factoren spelen een rol in waarom de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan met uitzonderlijk hoge temperaturen kampt. Allereerst zijn de zogenaamde passaatwinden sinds maart zwakker dan normaal. Deze winden waaien vanuit het oosten tot noordoosten en brengen kouder water naar het oppervlak in de oostelijke delen van de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Hierdoor koelt het water af. Dat gebeurt nu minder, waardoor de oceaantemperaturen stijgen.
Daarnaast is er in 2023 tot nu toe een gebrek aan Sahara-stof, dat doorgaans een verkoelend effect heeft op het noordelijke deel van de Atlantische Oceaan. Normaal gesproken worden grote wolken van dit stof vanuit de woestijnen van Noord-Afrika over de oceaan geblazen, maar dit jaar is de concentratie opvallend laag, zelfs op recordniveaus voor juni. Onderzoek heeft aangetoond dat het stof een aanzienlijke verkoeling veroorzaakt, vooral rond deze tijd van het jaar.
Een wereldwijde stijging is aan de gang
De ongewone temperaturen in de Atlantische Oceaan maken deel uit van een patroon van bovengemiddelde oppervlaktetemperaturen in alle oceanen wereldwijd. Momenteel bedraagt de gemiddelde oppervlaktetemperatuur wereldwijd 20,9°C. Dat is minder hoog dan de 21,1°C van 1 april, maar nog steeds 0,2°C hoger dan het vorige record uit 2022.
Deze ongeziene temperaturen zijn het resultaat van een combinatie van factoren die verband houden met El Niño en de buitengewoon hoge temperaturen in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Naast deze factoren draagt klimaatverandering bij aan de langdurige opwarming van het zeewater. Ook hebben nieuwe scheepvaartregels de uitstoot van zwavel drastisch verminderd, waardoor het verkoelende effect van sulfaataerosolen afneemt.
Wat zijn de gevolgen van deze hittegolf in onze oceanen en zal dit aanhouden?
Het hoge temperatuurniveau in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan heeft een belangrijke gevolg voor subtropische stormen. Warmere oceanen leveren meer energie voor tropische systemen en kunnen sterkere stormen veroorzaken als andere factoren dat toelaten. Eerdere jaren met een warm oostelijk Atlantisch gebied (2010, 2017, 2020…) vertoonden bijvoorbeeld zeer actieve orkaanseizoenen. Al zal dit niet noodzakelijk nu het geval zijn dankzij een sterke El Niño. Historisch gezien verlaagt dit weerfenomeen net de kans op zware orkaanseizoenen in de Atlantische Oceaan.
Dit betekent dat er waarschijnlijk minder tropische stormen zullen zijn en zwakkere systemen. Hoewel de Atlantische Oceaan recordwarmte ervaart, voorspellen experts van instellingen zoals NOAA, dat dit jaar daardoor eerder gemiddeld zal zijn. Er is echter meer onzekerheid in de voorspellingen voor dit jaar.
De weermodellen suggereren dat de atmosferische respons op de ontwikkelende El Niño in het oosten van de Stille Oceaan zich begint te vormen. Hierdoor krijgen we misschien opnieuw een meer gebruikelijke luchtdrukverdeling en positie van de subtropische straalstroom. Dit kan op zijn beurt leiden tot een afname van de afwijkingen in de zeewatertemperaturen in de Noord-Atlantische Oceaan. Al blijft het voorlopig afwachten. Wetenschappers houden dit in ieder geval nauwlettend in de gaten.

The Mysterious Las Vegas UFO Incident: “100 percent not human”
The Mysterious Las Vegas UFO Incident: “100 percent not human”
On a quiet night at the end of April 2023, an unexpected phenomenon sent ripples through the stillness of Las Vegas, resulting in a thrilling narrative of UFO sightings and reported extraterrestrial encounters that has caught the attention of people across the globe. A series of unusual events unfurled, with witnesses and official recordings contributing to a story that feels more like an enthralling science fiction narrative than a regular news report.
In the late evening hours of April 30, a police officer’s body camera recorded a peculiar, glowing green light streaking across the Nevada sky. This sighting wasn’t an isolated incident – at least 21 people from various locations, including California, Arizona, Utah, and Nevada, reported witnessing the same mysterious light, according to the American Meteor Society.
Just around midnight on May 1, the extraordinary tale took an even stranger turn. A local resident, working on his car in his backyard, claimed to have experienced an event that shook him to his core. He described seeing a bright light falling from the sky, accompanied by a loud impact and a shockwave that temporarily blurred his surroundings. He recounted hearing what sounded like thousands of footsteps that abruptly ceased.
But that wasn’t the climax of his harrowing encounter. The man reported seeing large, non-human entities in his backyard. According to his 911 call, he described these beings as around 8 to 10 feet tall, with large, shiny eyes, and big mouths – an image that couldn’t be anything but alien to him.
Las Vegas police took the matter seriously, promptly responding to the 911 call. The responding officer’s bodycam footage corroborated the witness’s account, even capturing a potential physical evidence – a perfect circle in the man’s backyard, possibly left by the crashed unidentified object.
As news of the incident spread, it gained the attention of George Knapp, a renowned journalist known for covering UFO-related stories. After several conversations with the involved family, Knapp stated that he didn’t sense any hoax or mischief at play. However, he admitted that the exact nature of the incident remains unclear, creating an intriguing puzzle that is yet to be solved.
Further fueling the suspense, Sean Kirkpatrick, head of the Pentagon’s newly formed All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), gave recommendations at a recent NASA meeting about UFOs, indicating the government’s increased interest in such inexplicable occurrences.
Despite the hard evidence, conjecture, and compelling narratives, authorities are still uncertain about what precisely occurred in Las Vegas that night. Nonetheless, the witness stands firm by his account, even as skeptics question his story.
This riveting tale of potential extraterrestrial encounters reminds us of the vastness of the universe and the unanswered questions it holds. Regardless of the nature of the Las Vegas incident, it has undeniably captured public fascination, adding another chapter to the unending saga of humanity’s quest for answers about our place in the cosmos.
