Open letter to the U.S. Air Force regarding allegations of UFO disinformation

Open letter to the U.S. Air Force regarding allegations of UFO disinformation
I sent this letter to the U.S. Air Force on July 11, 2013 to solicit an official response to allegations by ex-special agent Richard Doty of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations (AFOSI) that he participated in spreading UFO disinformation. Among his claims, he says he broke into a civilian’s home, created hoaxed documents, and lied to two U.S. Senators. Some of these are criminal acts that he claims he committed on orders from his superiors in the AFOSI. Whether or not this is true, these acts were committed while he was an AFOSI special agent, and I believe the U.S. Air Force needs to respond.
After working with the AFOSI public affairs department on Freedom of Information Act Requests (FOIA) related to this incident, I was told I would be able to speak to someone who could give me an official response. However, once I received the documents I was told they had nothing further to say.
Allegations of Criminal Misconduct
Air Force Office of Special Investigations Agent Richard Doty claims to have partaken in the acts of misinforming members of congress, breaking into the private residence of a civilian government contractor, and disseminating known forgeries of government documents while on active duty in the 1980s. Furthermore, he claims to have committed these acts on the orders of his superiors at AFOSI.
Although his claims have garnered a large amount of public attention, including having been the subject of several books (including one by New York Times Journalist Howard Blum), and were directly related to the government contractor mentioned above having been temporarily committed to a mental health facility, the U.S. Air Force has yet to comment on the veracity of his claims.
Was the U.S. Air Force involved with these criminal acts, as claimed by Doty, and if not what was done regarding his conduct?
Background
Beginning in the 1980s, Paul Bennewitz began reporting strange lights over the Manzano area of Kirtland Air Force Base, and claimed to have recorded unusual signals emanating from the base (1). Bennewitz was the owner of Thunder Scientific, a humidity company with contracts with Kirtland and several other branches of the military and government contractors (2). He believed the lights and signals were due to extraterrestrial activity (3).
According to documents retrieved from previous FOIA requests, officers at Kirtland looked at his evidence on two occasions and decided not to investigate (1)(3). Bennewitz contacted Senator Harrison Schmitt and Senator Pete Domenici, both of whom made inquiries about the status of the investigation on Bennewitz’s material to Air Force Office of Special Investigations Special Agent Richard Doty. In both cases, Agent Doty informed the senators that there was no AFOSI investigation on this matter (3)(4). Likewise, the files do show that after each review of Bennewitz’s material, it was recommended that an investigation not be initiated (1)(3). This is the extent of the material regarding Bennewitz and AFOSI in these files.
However, Richard Doty has since claimed that he lied to the senators on behalf of AFOSI, and that there was a disinformation campaign underway against Bennewitz. According to statements he has made to several associates, and on at least one national radio program, he told Bennewitz there was an investigation and he gave Bennewitz hoaxed material to support this claim (5). The first such document was given to Bennewtiz after Senator Schmitt’s inquiry, and just prior to Senator Domenici’s (3)(4)(14).
According to Doty, and witnessed by others, he continued his campaign to convince Bennewitz that he was actually experiencing extraterrestrial phenomena for several years. New Mexico state police officer Gabe Valdez claimed in interviews with me that he was present when Doty flew Bennewitz over the town of Dulce, New Mexico (6). Doty claims he convinced Bennewitz that there was an alien base under nearby Archuleta Mountain.
It was during this time that Doty claims he was ordered to break into Bennewitz’s residence. He told this to the author of a book on his disinformation activities titled, Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth (7), and to retired U.S. Army Colonel John Alexander (8). Eventually, Bennewitz became so paranoid regarding an extraterrestrial invasion that he had to spend time in a mental institution (5).
Doty continues to spread information on UFOs and aliens he alleges to have received while working for AFOSI (5). Many of the documents he disseminated during his campaign against Bennewitz have grown into huge modern mythologies, spawning books, movies and TV shows.
Although on two occasions the Air Force has stated that documents pertaining to this matter, allegedly dispensed by Doty, are not real (9)(10), they have not spoken to whether Doty was under orders, as he claims, when he lied to the senators, broke into Bennewitz’s home, and dispensed material to Bennewitz making him believe he was under investigation. The question then is not whether the documents are hoaxes, but whether Doty hoaxed these documents under his own volition, or was ordered to do so as a part of a disinformation campaign, as he claims is the case.
If Doty was not acting under orders, this would mean he was forging government documents while he was an active AFOSI agent. In that case, AFOSI needs to respond to whether they were aware of Doty’s activities, and if so, what action was taken. It would be surprising to find AFOSI was not aware of this sort of criminal activity going on for several years by one of their agents. Doty has indicated he was demoted at one point, however, this is not documented in the military records I obtained through FOIA, nor is the reason for this demotion (11). It is also unknown whether this demotion has any relation to the apparent criminal activity related to this case.
The official AFOSI Bennewitz files
These files have been obtained separately through FOIA requests by UFO researcher and author William Moore, Citizens Against UFO Secrecy (CAUS), and Navy physicist, Bruce Maccabee. Because of the multiple sources, and the high credibility of Dr. Maccabee and the files released by CAUS, I believe these documents to be legitimate. The USAF has informed the recipients that these are all of the files related to AFOSI and Bennewitz. I am seeking confirmation through my own pending FOIA request (Case # 2013-03291-F). [This was written prior to the fulfillment of my FOIA request, which was fulfilled August 2, 2013, and included the same documents I reference here. View the documents I received here.]
The first document is a Multipurpose Internal OSI Form dated October 28, 1980, and signed by Major Thomas Cseh. The subject is “Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in Restricted Test Range.” It states that Bennewitz contacted Doty through Major Ernest E. Edwards. Bennewitz claimed to have “knowledge and evidence of threats against Manzano Weapons Storage area.” On October 26, 1980 Doty, along with Jerry Miller, Chief Scientific Advisor for the Air Force Test and Evaluation Center at Kirtland, went to Bennewitz’s residence and conducted an interview. It is noted that Miller had experience investigating UFOs with Project Blue Book. They reviewed photographs, 8mm film, and recording tapes showing periods of high levels of electrical magnetism emitted from the Manzano/Coyote Canyon area. They noted Bennewitz also had surveillance equipment pointed at the base to record high frequencies (1).
They concluded that there were some type of “unidentified aerial objects” caught on the film, but they could not determine whether they posed a threat. They also found the electronic recording tapes to be inconclusive. They informed FTD [Foreign Technology Division] of their findings who wanted to inspect Bennewitz’s data, and briefed their command. However, it was noted that command “did not request an investigation at this time (1).”
The second file is another Multipurpose Internal OSI Form dated November 26, 1980, and also signed by Major Thomas Cseh. The subject is again, “Alleged Sightings of Unidentified Aerial Lights in Restricted Test Range.” The report describes a meeting that took place on the base on November 10, 1980, between Brigadier General William Brooksher, seven other officers, and Bennewitz. Bennewitz presented film and photographs which he believed to be of alien spacecraft, and described how he believed he was in contact with these aliens. He requested a grant to further research his interactions. One of those present, Dr. Lehman, Director of the Air Force Weapons Laboratory at Kirtland, told Bennewitz he would help him fill out paperwork to request a grant from the USAF (3).
This document then states that on November 17, Doty advised Bennewitz that AFOSI would not investigate the objects, and that they were “not in a position to evaluate the information and photographs.” It also says that on the date of the report, November 26, 1980, Doty received a phone call from Senator Harrison Schmitt inquiring about AFOSI’s role in the investigation of the sightings reported by Bennewitz. Doty advised Schmitt that AFOSI was not investigating the phenomenon and referred him to another AFOSI district. Schmitt declined and said he would check with the Secretary of the Air Force to determine the correct USAF agency to investigate the phenomena. The final note in this document is that Bennewitz had many conversations with Senator Schmitt, and Schmitt had in turn called Brigadier General Brooksher on multiple occasions regarding Bennewitz’s sightings (3).
The third document is an AFOSI communication form noting a meeting between Senator Peter Domenici and Doty regarding Bennewitz. It is signed by Colonel Frank Huey. It says that the IG [Inspector General] contacted AFOSI to advise them that Senator Domenici wanted to talk to Doty. Colonel Harvell approved the meeting, and Domenici, who was already in the IG’s office, went directly to speak to Doty. The report then says a subsequent check was made with Domenici’s aide, Mr. Tijeros, to find out what they wanted to discuss with Doty. Tijeros said they wanted to know whether AFOSI had conducted a formal investigation of Bennewitz. Tijeros was informed that there was no formal investigation. Tijeros indicated that Senator Domenici will likely make no further inquiries into the matter (4).
These three documents seem to indicate that AFOSI humored Bennewitz by examining his evidence, but did not engage in a formal investigation. Doty served as the point of contact to inform Senators Schmitt and Domenici, as well as Bennewitz, that AFOSI would not be investigating Bennewitz’s alleged alien evidence.
Richard Doty’s claims
The source for the claims I am referring to is a radio show appearance by Richard Doty on February 27, 2005. It was on a night time program called Coast to Coast AM, with a very large international listening audience. Although Doty has done many other interviews, they are almost all in print or online. Often his claims vary from one interview to another, and when pressed on this point, Doty often denies he made the statements. This includes a book he is credited as co-writing titled, Exempt from Disclosure. He claims he did not write the chapter credited to him, although his co-author notes he did sign the paperwork to authorize the book and cashed the checks for payment. Either way, I use the radio interview because it is similar to the core story he has been portraying in other interviews, and is one of the few sources with his verifiable direct statements.
According to Doty, in reference to his visit to Bennewitz’s residence with Miller on October 26, 1980, he says “The report was that this person had sufficient knowledge and the right equipment to tap into sensitive communications equipment and sensitive projects that was (sic) occurring in Kirtland.” The radio host, Art Bell responded, “Alright, somewhere in the mix of all this comes disinformation. In other words, you are going to admit tonight, I believe, that you dispensed disinformation, is that true?” To that Doty responds: “That is absolutely true.” Doty explained that this was done to protect base secrets. He said, “what we did is that we convinced him that what he was picking up wasn’t anything classified from the base, but in fact it was probably of alien origin (5).”
Doty says that Bennewitz also believed there was an alien base under Archuleta Mountain, near Dulce, New Mexico. Doty claims he worked with personnel from Ft. Carson to help perpetuate this idea. Doty explains, “We had a couple of black helicopters, and we had some things planted onto the ground around Archuleta peak, and just to convince him that what he was actually looking at, what he thought, actually was an alien base (5).”
Doty said that this disinformation campaign was an easier way to handle Bennewitz’s collection of sensitive Air Force activities than making him stop. He says, “It was easier for us to have done it that way than to get a warrant, a search warrant and a seizure warrant and seize all of his property and seize his equipment. What would that do? That would cause a lot of publicity, and the wrong type of publicity the base wanted (5).”
Bell asked Doty if he was aware that Bennewitz eventually ended up needing psychiatric care. Doty responded, “Yes, and I visited Paul a number of times.” He continued, “I was trying to convince Paul, and I went to his son to do this, that ‘hey, everything we told you before, Paul, isn’t true.’ And I explained to him why we were doing it, but he never believed me (5). “
Bell asked if he had any remorse for what happened to Bennewitz, to which Doty replied, “…it upset me what happened to Paul. I mean I went and tried to talk to Paul about it, against my commander’s orders. He told me, ‘Hey, he doesn’t have the clearance. You can’t go over there and tell him this stuff didn’t happen.’ But I did anyway, because I was concerned about Paul (5).”
Bell then asked Doty if there were other cases of UFO deception that Doty was involved with. He replied, “…pertaining to just UFOs, it was the four operations.” One of which he said was regarding researcher Linda Howe. He says, “…we invited her to Kirtland, we showed her some information pertaining to UFOs, we showed her a document and tried to bring her in and hook her on a hook, and she took it initially and then we carried on a contact with her over a period of time, meeting her at different locations and providing her with some information.” This is important because Doty has denied bringing Howe to Kirtland in the past, and has also denied showing her anything on UFOs. However, according to Howe, the document she was shown is very similar to a hoaxed document given to another UFO researcher, William Moore (5).
Doty elaborated on his association with Moore, saying, “Bill Moore was recruited by another person within Defense Intelligence Agency to provide disinformation.” In a letter to the editor in the July 15, 2000 issue of Saucer Smear, Doty wrote, “Moore was a coded source for OSI. That means he provided intelligence information that was documented. He was paid for his information. Moore was used to provide disinformation to Ufologists (12).” Although the details change, to my knowledge, Doty has never denied Moore’s involvement (5).
Finally, in regards to all of this, Doty claims in the radio program, “I followed orders. Everything we did was following orders (5).”
Although Doty claims the Bennewitz affair was disinformation, he also claims he was briefed on UFOs when he joined AFOSI. He says the briefing stated, among other things, “[Roswell] was real. We had an alien. It was in captivity up until 1951. He was kept at Kirtland and he was kept at Los Alamos. He died in the later part of 1951.” Doty also claims the alien liked strawberry ice cream and Tibetan music (5).
Hoaxed documents
This section will review hoaxed documents linked to Doty, most of which are connected to the events we have reviewed thus far. We will also review one document that surfaced just prior to Doty’s interactions with Bennewitz. The significance here is that if Doty is to be believed, these documents, which have had a significant impact on the UFO research community and society in general, are official fabrications of the USAF. If these documents were not created in a disinformation campaign, then Doty either alone or with others, participated in hoaxing official government documents.
Moore, the UFO researcher mentioned in the radio program, was co-author, with Charles Berlitz, of the book The Roswell Incident, which was published in 1980. It was the first book on the alleged UFO crash in Roswell. He says that in 1980 he was approached by a high level intelligence official, the same person Doty referenced earlier as working in the DIA, who said he and others knew the truth about UFOs and wanted the information out, so they would help him with his work. Moore gave this man the code name “Falcon” and says the he was told he would work primarily through a liaison that turned out to be Doty. Many have speculated that Doty was Falcon, but Moore denies this (13).
Moore says he began providing Falcon and Doty information on the UFO community and Paul Bennewitz. During a speech at a UFO conference in 1989, Moore said, “My role in the affair was largely that of a freelancer providing information on Paul’s current thinking and activities. I had nothing whatsoever to do with the counterintelligence and the disinformation (13).” However, he later claimed he was involved with dispensing at least one hoaxed document (14).
Moore says he worked with Falcon and Doty until 1984 (13). Rumors of his involvement with government agents eventually lead him to come clean in the aforementioned speech in 1989, at which point he retired from UFO research. In 1990, along with his research partner, Jamie Shandera, he released a document called The MJ-12 Documents: An Analytical Report, which analyzed the documents related to the Bennewitz Affair.
The first hoaxed document Moore examines is not part of the Bennewitz affair, but it does have links to Doty. It is a letter, along with an Air Force Incident/Complaint Report, from Ellsworth Air Force Base, regarding a UFO encounter. The letter claimed the incident had occurred on November 16, 1977, and was subsequently classified on December 2, 1977. The author claims he wanted to get the information out before the Air Force covered it up. The letter was sent to the National Enquirer (14). According to Bob Pratt of the National Enquirer, those named in the letter were questioned, and the letter was determined to be a hoax (15).
It is included in Moore’s report because he says Doty was stationed at Ellsworth at the time (14). Military records for Doty I obtained also show Doty was at Ellsworth from 1976 to 1979 (11). When Moore asked about the document, Doty told him he was aware of the “operation,” to create the document, but did not have any direct involvement (14).
The second document is a letter sent to a UFO organization called the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization (APRO) in July of 1980 about a UFO sighting that was witnessed by Craig Weitzel near Pecos, NM. It claims Weitzel was stationed at Dobbins AFB, but was visiting Kirtland. The letter claims a man in a black suit told Weitzel he saw something he should not have and demanded photographs of the object that Weitzel had taken. The man writing the letter claims he was a friend of Weitzel’s, and was himself stationed at Kirtland. He said Weitzel had spoken to an OSI agent named “Mr. Dody (sic)” about the matter (17).
Moore worked with APRO at the time the letter was received. He says the letter was loosely based off a real sighting, but was a hoax. He also says he didn’t know it then, but he found out later that Doty had written this letter. He says Doty told him the letter was meant to draw someone out of APRO who could provide information on Bennewitz, which, as we have seen, Moore eventually did end up participating in (14).
The third document is the first piece of disinformation allegedly given to Bennewitz. Moore says the document was given to him by Falcon and Doty to give to Bennewitz (14). The document was an alleged secret AFOSI teletype dated November, 1980. It was regarding analysis of Bennewitz’s photographs and alleges that this investigation is part of a secret project called Aquarius “with restricted access to ‘MJ Twelve’.” It claims NASA is monitoring the case and that AFOSI is gathering evidence and forwarding it to NASA (18).
Moore says he was given the document in March of 1981, but because he was hesitant to give knowingly false information to Bennewitz, he did not deliver it until late that summer (14). This timing is notable, because it was late summer, specifically July 30, when Senator Domenici went to Kirtland to ask about the Bennewitz investigation (4). Although Bennewitz and Senator Schmitt had already been told there was no AFOSI investigation (3)(4), the receipt of this document could explain why Bennewitz and/or Senator Domenici believed there was an investigation in the summer of 1981.
The fourth document is a list of notes allegedly used to brief President Carter on the UFO situation with bombastic claims of Air Force cover-ups regarding crashed UFOs, alien technology, interactions with aliens, etc. The cover again mentions Project Aquarius and “MJ12” (19). Moore says he was allowed to view and photograph this document in March of 1983 (14). In April of 1983, Linda Howe says she was invited to Kirtland Air Force Base by Doty and shown this document, or one very similar. As noted above, in the radio interview, Doty confirms this (5).
The fifth and final document is an MJ-12 Eisenhower briefing. This document was sent to Moore’s research partner, Jamie Shandera, on December 11, 1984, in a package from Albuquerque, New Mexico. The document was on 35 mm film (14). The document’s content shows similarities to the alleged Carter briefing, including the mention of MJ-12 (20)(14), first referenced in the teletype (18). It was also sent from Albuquerque, where Doty lived at the time and was still stationed at Kirtland AFB. However, Doty denies having created or sent the document (14).
Moore also denies having created the document (14). Allegedly acting on an anonymous tip, Shandera and Moore claim to have found a supporting document in the National Archives on July 18, 1985. This document is a July 14, 1954 memo from Robert Cutler, Special Assistant to the President, to General Twining regarding a “NSC/MJ-12 Special Studies Project.” It is a short memo and discusses the date and time of a meeting. It does not allude to the nature of the meeting (14). The National Archives has since released a paper outlining 10 points that “pose problems” for the authenticity of the document (22). Otherwise, there has yet to be any verifiable official reference to MJ-12.
The FBI undertook an investigation of the MJ-12 Eisenhower Briefing due to multiple requests. That investigation included a request to AFOSI headquarters inquiring about its authenticity. AFOSI claimed the document to be “bogus,” however, neither they nor the FBI have commented as to the document’s origins (9). To date, AFOSI has not commented on whether they have any involvement with the creation of the documents, as alleged by their own AFOSI agent, who, as demonstrated, was very closely related to the individuals who allegedly were anonymously given these documents, a document which also shares similarities to other documents that he asked to be given to Bennewitz, and had shown Moore and Howe.
According to Doty, “The FBI did an investigation on me because of the MJ-12 documents. It was 88 or 89… They thought I disclosed those documents (5).” If this is true, the results of their investigation have yet to be revealed.
Conclusion
Due to the extent at which the mythology created by Doty’s official or non-official disinformation campaign has worked its way into an alleged hidden history of Air Force and U.S. government secrecy, and due to the negative impact these events had on Mr. Bennewitz and his family, we deserve a response from the Air Force on their involvement, or non-involvement in this matter. Mr. Doty is now a sergeant for the New Mexico State Police, based out of Grants, and he continues to make wild accusations about the Air Force’s secret knowledge of UFOs and aliens. If he was not under orders to fabricate these documents, as he claims, then his employers and those he continues to attempt to perpetrate hoaxes upon, deserve to know this.

This speech ended Moore's involvement with UFO research. The OSI agent claims he ran this campaign under orders.
According to FOIA docs I received linked in the post above, 2 senators caught wind of it and made inquiries. Both were told by the OSI agent there was no such info being disseminated. Meanwhile, this same agent was in the midst of providing this information to a UFO researcher and Kirkland AFB contractor.
Look carefully at this hill top and you will notice that an ancient face of an intelligent alien species is looking upward. The detail is so-so, but I've seen much worse sculptures of faces in museums and paintings. This is however on Mars, so it's more important. Faces tell us who made them. Faces tell us what they looked like and when we see the face we quickly realize...they are not so different from us. Not so scary as the movies and gov would like to make us believe. They look relaxed, calm, majestic and proud. Reminds me us.
Have you all heard about all the pentagon meetings and discussions about UFOs and aliens in the news recently? They are calling the most important eyewitnesses in the world, however, they are avoiding me. They know that my site, my decades of hands on research is too much for congress, the pentagon or any NASA meeting. They only want to ask UFO researchers that are a joke, and not hard core serous like me. So no...don't expect any real answers from the US gov anytime soon.

Burchett Reports: Pilots Confess to Erasing Evidence of UFO Sightings
Burchett Reports: Pilots Confess to Erasing Evidence of UFO Sightings
UFOs, Power Struggles, and the Fight for Truth: The Battle Inside Capitol Hill
In the realm of unexplained phenomena, few topics are as enigmatic and captivating as unidentified flying objects (UFOs). Recently, the conversation around these inexplicable sightings has taken a significant turn on Capitol Hill, led by Tennessee’s Representative Tim Burchett. He’s been advocating relentlessly for more government transparency on the topic, but it seems there are unseen challenges blocking his path.
In an interview that sparked widespread attention, Burchett detailed the struggles he has faced in attempting to shine a light on this shrouded area. He revealed that some of his sources, mainly decorated veteran pilots with firsthand accounts of UFO sightings, had begun to pull back due to pressure from entities like the Pentagon and NASA. It’s a revelation that underscores the difficulty in tackling a subject often dismissed by mainstream scientific and government institutions.
One intriguing instance that Burchett highlighted involves a situation in which his witnesses claim to have destroyed their own visual evidence of UFOs. This drastic measure was reportedly taken out of fear of severe interrogation from their superiors, a reality that Burchett deems unacceptable in a society that is supposed to protect whistleblowers. He asserts, “This is the freaking United States of America” – a statement highlighting the incongruity of the situation and the urgency for institutional reform.
Burchett also shared the specific problems his team encountered when trying to organize a House Oversight Committee hearing on UFO claims. From getting people in the room to overcoming various roadblocks that seemed intentionally placed to stymie progress, the entire process has been fraught with difficulties. Nevertheless, Burchett remains undeterred, committed to ensuring the issue gets the bipartisan attention it deserves.
But why this quest for transparency? Burchett posits that the current secrecy and resistance from entities like NASA and the Pentagon only fuels speculation and encourages illegitimate narratives. The lack of clarity ultimately fosters distrust in the government, a sentiment that spans both political parties, according to Burchett.
In one revealing anecdote, Burchett described being turned away from a secure briefing in Florida, despite initial promises of access to pictures and pilot testimonies. The Pentagon’s subsequent retraction and the presentation of a fruit tray as a consolation painted a vivid picture of the dismissive attitude facing those who dare to probe into the UFO phenomenon.
Yet, despite the frustration and the obstacles, Burchett’s resolve to uncover the truth remains. His determination illuminates the larger picture – this isn’t just about UFOs. It’s about fostering government accountability, upholding the rights of whistleblowers, and restoring public trust.
Indeed, Representative Burchett’s battle serves as a sobering reminder of the struggles faced by those seeking to demystify the unknown. As the debate over UFO transparency continues, one thing is for certain: the fight for accountability, against all odds, will carry on.
John Lear, a former CIA pilot, passed away on March 29, 2022, leaving behind a legacy in the world of aviation and conspiracy theories. He was widely known for his claims about the unidentified aerial phenomenon and Area 51, but also for a lifetime of daring exploits in everything that could fly. He was the son of American inventor Bill Lear, who created the Lear jet and invented the 8-Track tape system.
Determined to carve out his own path, Lear delved into aviation, becoming an accomplished pilot at a young age, setting multiple world records in various planes. Despite his accomplishments, his daredevil lifestyle resulted in serious injuries from plane crashes that he should not have survived.
During the Vietnam era, Lear flew cargo planes for the CIA and continued to seek out danger by flying in and out of other hotspots. He had numerous contacts in the aerospace industry and became interested in secret planes and projects.
In the 1980s, Lear and a few friends began investigating obscure bases in the Nevada desert, which later became famous. His claims about UFOs and Area 51 and his lifetime of daredevil exploits in the skies will forever be remembered.
Lear’s appearance in “On the Record,” which aired on January 28, 1988, on KLAS TV in Las Vegas, startled the UFO discussion and told investigative journalist George Knapp that the government even housed aliens at two U.S. sites. Lear said the government was engaged in a program to gradually inform the public of encounters that had already happened.

According to Lear, there are at least 70 different species of aliens. He specifically mentioned the existence of “little green men” as well as “little grey ones,” who are about 4 and a half feet tall. He also talked about the existence of “Nordics,” which are similar in appearance to humans, but are taller and have blond hair and blue eyes. He stated that one of those species was recovered from a crash and was stored on ice.
Lear claimed that there are good and bad aliens and they have all kinds of ways to interact with humans. “And what are some of the reasons? Why would they be here?” Knapp asked. Lear replied: “Genetic experiments.” He further said that “movies such as E.T., Close Encounters of the Third Kind were carefully guided by representatives from MJ-12, who is this organization that is in charge of the coverup, in order to get us ready for the release of the information that there are indeed, aliens.”
Lear believed that everything started with the Roswell crash in 1947. He claimed that in September 1945, President Truman established MJ-12, and the purpose of that was to study the saucers and cover up the existence of UFOs. He told Knapp that four alien bodies were recovered from a crash and were autopsied by Dr. Detlev Bronk.
They were named “EBEs” (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) and three live EBEs were captured in different crashes. EBE1 lived with an Air Force Colonel between 1949 and 1952. The EBEs were kept in an electromagnetic facility called a YY-2, which was designed by Dr. Eric Wang who worked under Dr. Kissinger and was involved in the coverup of the incident since the beginning.
Lear said: “The reason they have to create an electromagnetic facility is the fact that the EBEs are so advanced, they’re there at least a half a billion years advanced from us, and probably more… And they can also disappear. But they can’t move by thought through an electromagnetic facility, so they built this facility. There was two, one in Los Alamos and one either Edwards (AFB) or at the Test Site.”
Lear discussed the existence of extraterrestrial beings at Groom Lake, Nevada, also known as Area 51. He stated that there was still a living extraterrestrial biological entity (EBE) known as EBE3 and that there was a tape of an interview with this being. However, Lear did not see the tape and was unaware of what language was used in the interviewers. He also mentioned that he had been given 25 secret CIA memos on his trip to gather information, and one of the memos mentioned that EBE3 wanted to see the ocean and that arrangements needed to be made or the EBE would “disappear again.”
Knapp asked if these beings can exist among us and if they need a special environment. Lear stated that they have a special environment, special air, and can only last about 20 minutes in Earth’s air.
Lear also claimed that the grey EBEs are the ones that are most commonly seen and that there are different motives for their presence on Earth. He suggested that a deal was made with them, as they are trying to regenerate their own race. This is because their digestive system is atrophied and they could no longer eat through their mouths. Instead, they obtain hormones and enzymes from cattle and spread it on their skin for nutrients, excreting the waste back to their skin.
On March 29, 1989, Lear and his friends including Bob Lazar recorded a video of the object, a glowing disc that rose from a facility on the outskirts of Area 51 that officially did not exist. Ironically, March 29 was the same date Lear died at his Las Vegas home, though many years later. (Source)
During the interview, Lear discussed his knowledge of two incidents involving UFOs. The first incident occurred in July 1987, when an enormous UFO is said to have followed a cargo plane over Anchorage, Alaska. The second incident took place in 1975, where UFOs were reportedly seen hovering over Strategic Air Command bases.
Knapp: You’ve said before you thought that a lot of their intentions were hostile and you’ve mentioned before that a lot of the sightings around the military bases. Why don’t we see them here? Las Vegas, we’ve got a lot of military bases here.
Lear: Well, the in fact there have been a lot of a lot of reports of UFOs in around Las Vegas, not specifically over the Air Force bases. We have the Test Site and of course, we don’t know what’s going on there, and we have Nellis Air Force Base. But there have not really been a lot of sightings over there. The main Air Force sightings were in 1975. And the UFOs descended on every Strategic Air Command base guarding the perimeter of the northern United States. They hovered over the nuclear weapons storage area and they stayed there with impunity for up to two and three hours over a period of three days.
“The problem is not only just the fact that there are five and as many as 10 different civilizations visiting us. Apparently, and this is from the research that I’ve done, at least 90% of them are hostile. And when I say hostile, if not hostile, they have a completely different set of morals than we do,” he added.
The following statement by the ex-CIA pilot is also worth noting: “The moon is an artificial body that was dragged to our planet, as a result of which an ice age broke out on Earth that killed all living things.” In fact, the circumstances of the appearance of the moon in outer space are not exactly known, and no one has seen the back of the moon.
Lear also explained in his interview how Moon had been created in Jupiter and brought to Earth’s orbit about 15,000 years ago, which was nearly around the last Ice Age. Besides, he said that the Greys are on the moon as well, but mainly remain underground within huge laboratories.
John Lear claimed that NASA sent astronauts to Mars in 1966, and that the astronauts had undergone extensive preparation for the mission, including taking drugs to adapt to the Martian climate. He also alleged that those astronauts were able to breathe the thin atmosphere on Mars, allowing for longer missions on the planet.
Lear mentioned that there are several notable figures from various fields, such as military, espionage, and aeronautics who corroborated these claims, including Colonel Philip Corso, David Wilcock, Glen Steckling, Henry Deacon, Barr Digregorio and Gilbert Levin, and they are not considered as madmen but are the key figures in space research.

Glowing Orb Over Lake Huron, Michigan July 19, 2023 UFO Sighting News.
Glowing Orb Over Lake Huron, Michigan July 19, 2023 UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 19, 2023
Location of sighting: Lake Huron, Michigan, USA
This UFO is similar to the UFOs seen by Dr Green off the coast of Florida, but this is over Lake Huron heading from East to West toward Lake Michigan. These lakes are the deepest in the US and can easily be hiding an alien city below the floors of the lakes. Many UFOs have been witnessed over the water and this one is proof of that. Often alien craft go exploring below the water to stay out of sighting and sometimes to transcend the depths to an alien city. This craft clearly had no concerns about being seen, but still...after glowing a minute or so...this object began to move away and fade until it was gone. A rare and fantastic glimpse at a UFO after it has left the water to prepare travel away.
Filmed on 2 locations over California: Strange lights hovering in the sky YESTERDAY
Filmed on 2 locations over California: Strange lights hovering in the sky YESTERDAY
In a world where the extraordinary and unknown fascinate us, few things stoke the fire of our collective curiosity like the enigmatic subject of Unidentified Flying Objects. On July 20, 2023, two mesmerizing UFO sightings in California had both enthusiasts and skeptics buzzing with excitement and intrigue. Here’s the riveting narrative of these peculiar encounters that etched a distinct mark in the annals of UFO sightings.
The Solana Beach Enigma
On the warm, quiet evening of July 20, Solana Beach, California, was lit up with an astonishing spectacle that left onlookers in awe. Witnesses reported seeing a breathtaking formation of glowing orbs suspended in the night sky over the popular Del Mar racetrack.
In a perplexing ballet of lights, these multiple orbs remained stationary over the ocean, weaving in and out of various formations. Initially configured in a triangle, they seamlessly morphed into a circle before integrating into a fresh pattern. This mesmerizing dance repeated approximately five times, adding to the cryptic spectacle.
Then, as abruptly as they had appeared, the orbs vanished. Mysteriously, airplanes were subsequently observed returning to the area, raising further questions about this fascinating event.
Laguna Beach’s Floating Cylinder
Just a short distance away, another mysterious event unfolded on the same evening in Laguna Beach. Here, spectators witnessed an array of about ten lights lining up in the serene Californian sky. In an unexpected twist, four lights broke away from the formation, traveling upward and to the right. The remaining lights gradually faded into the darkness, leaving a captivating tableau for observers.
One keen spectator, equipped with high-powered binoculars, reported that the four lights were attached to a large, cylindrical object. This enigmatic cylinder seemed to hover in the sky with no visible means of propulsion, a sight that added another layer of intrigue to this already baffling phenomenon.
A Night to Remember
The UFO sightings in Solana Beach and Laguna Beach on July 20, 2023, have certainly added a new dimension to the UFO discourse. The sightings, both remarkable and unique in their own ways, provide fascinating fodder for enthusiasts, experts, and skeptics alike. As these peculiar events continue to be analyzed and discussed, they remind us that the world – and the skies above – are filled with endless wonders and mysteries yet to be deciphered.
Don’t forget to check out the accompanying video, which provides a riveting visual perspective of these unforgettable encounters. The awe-inspiring footage captured will undoubtedly fuel the intrigue surrounding these UFO sightings for many days to come.
The subject of Unidentified Flying Objects has been an intriguing topic of conversation for decades. Despite the contentiousness, it seems that now, more than ever, people across the globe and across the political spectrum are showing an unusual unity in their curiosity to understand the phenomena. The question “How do UFOs defy the laws of physics?” has created ripples in public discourse, triggering an “unprecedented” UFO hearing expected to take place next week.
It appears that the extraterrestrial enigmas are not only captivating the general public but also stirring up the political world. “If one thing can bring Democrats and Republicans together, it’s UFOs,” is a statement resonating through the political corridors. But the elusive nature of the information on UFOs is challenging, with accusations of a lack of transparency from governments. There is a growing demand to peel back layers of secrecy surrounding the subject.
While skeptics argue these UFOs might be advanced technology from competing nations like China or Russia, experts dismiss these theories as unlikely. This skepticism doesn’t just come from baseless beliefs, but from a strategic viewpoint. If these nations had such extraordinary technology, geopolitical landscapes would likely be vastly different. These aerial phenomena are perplexing observers due to their seemingly impossible capabilities: performing maneuvers that defy known laws of physics and surpassing the technological prowess of any known human weaponry.

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

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

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

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

Billions of years before creatures big and small arose on this planet, the molecular building blocks of life drifted across the universe.
These complex carbon molecules of the ancient past are beginning to appear unto the ultrasensitive instruments aboard the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). And when this cosmic dust reveals itself, as it does in a new study published Wednesday in the journal Nature, scientists are seeing symptoms of what was going on when the universe first evolved into how it looks today. And as an added bonus, the cosmic dust reveals a through line between modern Earth and Cosmic Dawn.
As often is the case, sometimes science raises more questions than it answers. The new research, helmed by cosmologist Joris Witstok, found evidence for complex carbon molecules dating as far back as when the universe was just 5 percent its current age, about 700 million years after the Big Bang. The finding can deepen the scientific portrait of where these crucial molecules were first forged. But simultaneously, it raises questions about how fast and how early the universe generated the stars living inside the early galaxies.
A portion of the sky revealed through the JADES program, short for JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey.
Between October 21 and 25, 2022, JWST observed 253 sources with two of its instruments designed to pry apart the light pooled from great distances. Researchers then studied the data to narrow down the chemical composition of that distant source. Each object received exposure times ranging from 9.3 hours to 28 hours, according to the paper.
Within this light from the early universe, researchers found an ultraviolet light attenuation “bump.” This feature in the data is associated with the presence of complex, carbon-based dust grains.
These dust particles are smaller than the everyday dust we deal with in our daily lives, according to JWST scientist and paper co-author Irene Shivaei. Yet, these ancient grains are complex enough to suggest that stars were churning at earlier time periods than models suggest.
The team performed this work through a collaboration known as JADES, short for JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey, an initiative Witstok says is “really aimed at extragalactic science.”
REVELATIONS AND QUESTIONS
Seeing this dust so far back in time was a big surprise, Shivaei tells Inverse via email.
This cosmic dust is found just 700 million years after the Big Bang; for perspective, the Universe is about 13.7 billion years old. The dust that produced the ultraviolet “bump” in JWST data heralds from an era called Cosmic Dawn, or the Reionization Era. As the National Science Foundation describes it, this is the time when stars “turned on” for the first time.
Astronomers do expect to find dust and elements heavier than hydrogen and helium in the early universe. But the ultraviolet data suggests these complex dust grains were surprisingly abundant and arising earlier than predicted. One possibility is that the carbon grains are forming on short timescales.
“I think that’s quite special to see, that we’re really able to reach the origins of one of the most important building blocks, or types of material that eventually would form stars and also for example the planets in our Solar System,” Witstok tells Inverse.
WHAT COMES NEXT
The dust is special because it is complex, and formed via certain paths. According to Shivaei, the stars living in the ancient galaxies must have evolved enough to produce these complex grains. And according to the paper, the reservoirs of cosmic dust were as large as 100,000,000 times the mass of the Sun.
“This is in tension with the theories and the time available to the stars to evolve in early galaxies,” Shivaei says.
A next step could involve consulting theorists to form more accurate models about how the dust’s presence can constrain certain details of Cosmic Dawn, and narrow down what astronomers think happened when galaxies first began to evolve.
Thankfully, astronomers have a great tool at their fingertips. Shivaei says, “JWST has opened a new window to our understanding of the universe.”
Wat als de asteroïde ter grootte van flatgebouw wél richting aarde vloog: “We kunnen duwtje geven”
Een asteroïde zo groot als een flatgebouw suisde vorige week vlak langs de aarde. Wat als het projectiel - dat niet werd opgemerkt door ruimtediensten - recht op de planeet was geklapt? Vincent Icke, hoogleraar Sterrenkunde, legt uit wat de gevolgen hadden kunnen zijn.
Het Europese Ruimteagentschap (ESA) houdt normaal gesproken een geruststellend oogje in het zeil wat betreft asteroïden die onze kant opvliegen. Vorige week passeerde er óngezien eentje met een doorsnede van 60 meter - een groot appartementencomplex - op 100.000 kilometer van de aarde.”Dat is héél dichtbij”, benadrukt Vincent Icke, hoogleraar Sterrenkunde aan de Universiteit Leiden. “Als een asteroïde dichterbij komt dan de afstand tot de maan, moeten we opletten. Deze kwam vier keer zo dichtbij.”
Om te weten wat er had kunnen gebeuren als ‘2023-NT1’ wel richting aarde was gevlogen, hoeven we maar naar 2013 te kijken. Toen sloeg een meteoor in vlakbij de Russische stad Tsjeljabinsk in. Icke:”Ze hebben proberen na te gaan hoe groot die asteroïde was voordat die onze dampkring inkwam. Waarschijnlijk had die een diameter van 30 meter. Acht keer minder massa als deze.”
Op filmpjes van de Russische inslag is te zien dat er brokstukken afbreken terwijl de meteoor als een vuurbal door de lucht vloog. Door de enorme explosie en schokgolven versplinterden zo’n beetje alle ruiten in de stad en werden deuren opengeblazen. Meer dan duizend mensen raakten gewond.
De asteroïde van vorige week bleef verborgen in de schittering van de zon. Maar vooral omdat-ie zo klein was. Een flatgebouw klinkt als iets fors, maar dat valt in het niet bij de getallen in de sterrenkunde. “Alles kleiner dan een kilometer stelt niks voor”, vertelt Icke. “De asteroïde was heel klein, ging supersnel en heeft ook nog eens een heel donker oppervlak. Als een zwart krijtbord. Dat is bijna niet te zien.”
Voltreffer in bewoond gebied
Tot zover de bangmakerij, nu de geruststelling. Asteroïden van deze grootte komen, zo schat Icke, eens in de tien jaar in de buurt van de aarde. Volgens ESA treffen ze statistisch gezien eens in de vijftig tot honderd jaar de aarde.”En die bestaat voor twee derde uit water, waar het weinig uitmaakt. De kans op een voltreffer in bewoond gebied is veel kleiner. Maar als die in de buurt van een stad komt, wordt het wel heel onprettig. Dan praat je over duizenden slachtoffers door bijvoorbeeld rondvliegend glas. De kans dat een afgebroken stuk van de meteoor jou raakt, is heel klein, maar wel dodelijk.”
Verzengende hitte, gewelddadige schokgolven en torenhoge tsunami’s: daar praat je pas over als de asteroïden veel groter zijn. Een kilometer of breder. En van de stenen met die grootte hebben we het gros wel in beeld. Als die recht op aarde afkomen, is actie nodig. “Maar je moet ze niet opblazen tot kleine stukjes. Vergelijk het met hagel: daarmee raak je ook meer dan met een een gewone kogel”, zegt Icke. De kunst is het veranderen van de koers, liefst als de asteroïde nog ver van de aarde is verwijderd.
Dat kan door er met een ruimtevaartuig tegenaan te knallen. Of, optie twee, door het inzetten van een stuwraket. “Daarmee kun je de asteroïde als het ware een duwtje geven. Het is heel moeilijk om zo’n raket erop te laten landen, vooral bij zo’n heel kleine als vorige week. Maar we kunnen het wel”, zegt Icke. Om daar als conclusie aan toe te voegen: “Dus er is geen reden om hierover ’s nachts wakker te liggen.”

We're done with the UFO cover-up!
We're done with the UFO cover-up!
Last Monday Republican Rep. Tim Burchett of Tennessee tweeted that the House Oversight Committee will hold a hearing next week about UFOs, officially called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) as well as he wrote that we're done with the cover-ups.
Indeed, we're done with the UFO cover-ups and people need answers but it's not a recent issue. Back in 1992/1993 already there was a grass-roots disclosure activism movement whose purpose was to demand the end of the UFO cover-up, and more specifically, to end to all sociological/political suppression of extra-terrestrial contact.
This disclosure activism movement 'Operation Right To Know', which is still active on Facebook, was founded in 1992 by Ed Komarek and Mike Jamieson.
It started in the US, but then spread to the UK as well. Several demonstrations were held, including two demonstrations at the White House. The second one, in July 1993, received mainstream media attention.
The idea of the first White House demonstration was to make the statement to the UFO community that a UFO cover up was first and foremost a political problem deserving of political solutions. They believed that because the data was being manipulated for political reasons one could not do good scientific work on the subject. They believed that the UFO community had been covertly redirected away from political solutions and into ineffective scientific solutions from the time of the Late Donald Keyhoe.
In the second demonstration, see video below, the idea was to prod the mainstream press into getting involved even if the propagandists in the press tried to make us look silly which they did their best to do. Heavy hitting SETI debunkers like Dr. Frank Drake had to come on at 3 the next morning to debunk them. They hoped that if they made a big enough stir in spite of the ridicule and the debunking some in the press would think that where there is smoke their may be fire. Soon afterward shows began to appear on TV like Sightings.
Unfortunately, they were unable to ignite a widespread uprising in the public domain a impossible task at the time. But times have changed significantly since the days of Operation Right To Know (ORTK), and the UFO phenomenon has indeed gained substantial attention across various media platforms. In recent years, there has been a notable shift in public interest and acceptance of the possibility of extraterrestrial encounters.
With the rise of social media and alternative news outlets, UFO-related information and sightings have become more accessible and widely discussed. Additionally, mainstream media has been covering UFO-related stories with greater frequency and seriousness, shedding more light on the subject.
The pressure on governments to address the UFO issue transparently has intensified. there have been efforts by bipartisan groups of senators in the United States to push for greater UFO disclosure. If such efforts gain momentum and public support, it could lead to the declassification of government records related to UFOs, potentially revealing more information about past encounters and investigations.
It's important to note that government agencies, such as The Pentagon, may be influenced by congressional inquiries, which could prompt them to take a more transparent approach in sharing what they know about UFOs.
But despite the increasing attention from various media sources and the involvement of government officials in seeking disclosure it is the question whether the government is going to come out and tell the people what they know about UFOs.
Well, as I said, it's not a recent issue, they've been lying and covering this up for almost 80 years and now they are going to suddenly tell the truth? I hope I'm wrong but I don't see it happen soon but as time goes on, we may witness further developments and revelations in the realm of UFO disclosure, driven by the changing attitudes of both the public and those in positions of authority.
UFO Sightings Over Marina Del Rey – An Unforgettable Afternoon
UFO Sightings Over Marina Del Rey – An Unforgettable Afternoon
In an era teeming with curiosity about the inexplicable, UFO sightings have become a captivating global narrative. Today, we spotlight a post recently uploaded to Reddit, that takes us back to an intriguing incident in Marina Del Rey, CA. The event unfolded on the afternoon of July 18th, 2021, but has just now caught the public eye, sparking renewed fervor in UFO enthusiasts around the globe.
As the golden California sun bathed Marina Del Rey in a warm afternoon glow, something extraordinary appeared in the azure skies. It was not an airplane, nor was it a bird. It was something that couldn’t be easily identified, something that has been intriguing mankind for centuries – a UFO.
A local eyewitness reported seeing three bright, luminescent dots that first formed a triangular pattern, a formation common in many recorded UFO sightings. But then, in a twist that made this event even more interesting, the objects shifted into a three-dotted line. The dots seemed to move with a level of coherence and precision that dismissed any chance of them being floating debris or atmospheric phenomena. The distance, however, made it challenging to discern the specifics of the objects, leaving a lot to the viewer’s imagination.
Our pursuit of the truth behind these UFO sightings isn’t just about curiosity. It’s about exploring the possibility of extraterrestrial life, about venturing into the limitless expanse of the cosmos. Sightings like these are the puzzle pieces that might one day complete the picture.

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

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

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

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

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

Dark Orb Over Scottsdale, Arizona July 18, 2023, UFO Sighting News.
Dark Orb Over Scottsdale, Arizona July 18, 2023, UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: July 18, 2023
Location of sighting: Scottsdale, Arizona, USA Source: MUFON
This dark craft was seen over Scottsdale yesterday. The object is moving with the direction of the wind, but oddly as he takes notice of the craft the UFO flashes him several times in the video in his direction. This looks like a deliberate action on the UFOs part and is all I need to confirm that this is a real alien craft.

Eyewitness states:
Witnessed a dark floating geometric orb at 4:38pm on 7/18/2023 while I was in the pool in Scottsdale, AZ. Black/dark grey in appearance and had some flat faces similar to a 10 sided die that, when rotating, caught and reflected the sunlight. Captured video on my phone. Note, the object was moving West to East with the wind as indicated by the direction of the palm fronds in the video.

UFOs Over Northwest Las Vegas, Nevada 7-18-2023 UFO Sighting News.
Date of sighting: 7-18-2023
Location of sighting: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Source: MUFON
Watch this video footage and you will notice several glowing objects moving across the tops of the mountains in Las Vegas. The objects seem to be communicating and waiting for each other to organize and leave. The movement of the craft indicates that they are probably trying to get a newer pilot use to it before leaving. Such UFOs often are seen behind the old firing range of Nellis AFB in Las Vegas. It's said that a Tall White alien base was made back there with the agreement of the US gov in exchange for technology. Yeah...I believe these UFOs originated from there.
Scott C. Waring
Eyewitness states:
I went up to our rooftop deck. We are in Northwest Las Vegas just a few blocks from the geographic formation called "Lone Mountain". I have reported 2 or 3 other sightings from our rooftop deck since we moved here in 2015. I often go up to the roof to look at the famous "Strip" which is visible to our East-Southest. Tonight I was sitting and enjoying the warm evening air when I spotted a bright white light coming from the direction of Area 51 which is 150 miles Northwest from our house. I turned on the camera of my I-Phone 12 and started to record. As the light came closer it turned slightly to the right towards me (east) and I then realized it was an airplane. I stopped recording and was about to put my I-Phone away. Instead I noticed 2 white lights emerge from behind Lone Mountain and they were headed due west. They seemed perfectly spaced apart. The light was constant from them. I turned my i-Phone back on.
The airplane I was recording previously was still visible below the 2 lights as it headed in the opposite direction, but you can see it has blinking colored lights. I continued to record the 2 steady lights above and followed them as they seemed to head west over the Sheep Mountain Range which is about 15 miles north of us. The lead light then seemed to burn out after 30 seconds or so.
After another few seconds, the second light then burned out as well. Nothing seemed to remain of either light. Both were steady and followed a seemingly level path parallel to the ground before disappearing.
