The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: In the Debate Over UAP Origins, Scientists Wrestle With Possibilities… and Biases
The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: In the Debate Over UAP Origins, Scientists Wrestle With Possibilities… and Biases
Few would dispute the fact that UFOs have undergone a renascence in public interest in recent years. According to recent data, it also appears that more Americans now seem willing to entertain the possibility that these aerial mysteries could represent a phenomenon unrecognized by science.
Arecent Gallup surveyfound that while half of Americans remain skeptical about UFO sightings, that number has dropped ten points since 2019, when similar surveys found that 60% of Americans had reservations about the idea that UFOs could have anything other than earthly explanations.
One thing the new Gallup data seems to convey is the impact recent U.S. government involvement in the longstanding UFO question has had on public opinion. The presence of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAP as the military prefers to call them, were seemingly confirmed with the release of a nine-page preliminary assessment in June by the Navy’s UAP Task Force (UAPTF), which reported 144 cases involving objects of unknown origin observed by military pilots and others that currently remain unexplained.
Most of these incidents were collected following the institution of a formalized reporting mechanism by the Navy in 2019, the same year previous Gallup surveys found more than half of Americans remained skeptical about possible extraterrestrial origins of such objects. In late 2020, the U.S. Air Force followed suit, with the combined Navy and Air Force data constituting the majority of the reports discussed within the Task Force’s assessment delivered to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) at the end of June.
According to the report, additional information is also being provided by several other agencies, including the FAA, who in recent days confirmed in a statement provided to The Debrief its own role in documenting UAP incidents that can be corroborated with radar or other data on behalf of the UAPTF. Notably, the inclusion of data from the FAA would seemingly indicate that some incident reports from civilian pilots are also among the 144 incidents the UAPTF has currently examined.
In the days since the report’s delivery to the ODNI, several news outlets have tried to reign in on the subject’s current widespread appeal. Just days after the delivery of the UAPTF’s preliminary assessment, theNew York PostEditorial Board called out most of the recent UFO “news” in advance of the report as clickbait, aimed at cashing in on widespread interest in the subject, rather than contributing anything meaningful to the ongoing discussion.
“Yes, UFOs and ‘little green men’ are fun and have inspired tons of entertaining fiction,” the Post editorial read. “But the US intelligence community was entirely right to dump all over the conspiracy theories and ‘They’re really out there’ nonsense in its report on sightings of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).” Although the Post Editorial Board noted that extraterrestrial sources were not specifically ruled out in the June report, “it also provides zero evidence supporting alien theories.”
More recently, The Guardian noted that people’s current UFO fascination is primarily “rooted in hope,” while elsewhere The Washington Post Magazine argued what it labels the current “UFO mania” simply has to end.
As the recent Gallup data helps show, it’s no wonder UFOs have been on the minds of so many Americans lately. Thanks in large part to the anticipation ahead of the UAPTF report’s delivery to the ODNI, during the first half of 2021 UFOs have seen more consistent, serious media attention than they have in decades. As a byproduct of this, the New York Post correctly notes that many outlets appear to have jumped on the UFO bandwagon in order to claim their share of traffic from all the attention the subject has received. It is a trend that has been slowly building since late 2017, following a New York Times article revealing the existence of the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which analyzed aerial phenomena that might pose a challenge to national security.
However, there is something else the recent Gallup data reveals about people’s attitudes toward UFOs. Since 2019, Americans appear not only to have softened their skepticism toward the subject, but also appear more willing to accept the idea that the phenomenon might represent evidence of extraterrestrial technology. In the recent survey, 41% of adults in America now also associate their belief in UFOs with extraterrestrial spacecraft, representing an eight-point rise from 2019 when similar surveys found just 33% of Americans held such views.
And some scientists think this could represent a problem going forward.
Scientists Remain Divided on The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis
“In the search for extraterrestrial life, scientists must be thoroughly open-minded. And this means a certain amount of encouragement for non-mainstream ideas and techniques,” wrote Peter Vickers, Associate Professor in Philosophy of Science at Durham University in an article for The Conversation.
However, even in a scientific community where open-mindedness toward non-mainstream ideas may occasionally be encouraged, many draw the line when it comes to UFOs.
“I have no doubt that there’s extraterrestrial intelligence,” SETI Institute senior astronomer Seth Shostak told CBS in May. “But it’s a different thing to say, ‘And not only are they out there, but they’ve come to visit!’”
For Shostak, a man who has devoted most of his professional career to the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, the current evidence presented by UFO proponents simply “is not good.”
Although Shostak and many other scientists keep UFOs at arm’s length when it comes to the search for alien life, the extraterrestrial hypothesis (as it has come to be known mainly among UFO proponents) still represents a valid possibility in terms of what the origins of these objects might be.
The problem is that it also carries a lot of historical baggage.
In the years immediately following World War II, it would have been difficult for any reports of advanced, unrecognized aircraft in American skies not to have aroused concern. The appearance of what had first been dubbed “flying saucers” should be remembered in this context: although jokes and jabs about “men from Mars” and space aliens began to appear almost immediately in American newspapers, this had not been the interpretation that warranted attention from the U.S. Air Force. Instead, it was the concern that the Soviets might possess some new technology capable of surveillance, or even future attacks against the United States.
It didn’t take long to conclude that the objects being observed in U.S. airspace probably didn’t belong to the Soviets. By January 1950, word about a top-secret Air Force “Estimate of the Situation” had become public knowledge thanks to Major Donald E. Keyhoe, a former Marine Corps serviceman and contributor to popular magazines of the period. It was Keyhoe’s 1950 article, “Flying Saucers Are Real,” which not only argued that the objects existed, but that they originated from outer space. Citing examples that included the death of pilot Thomas Mantell, whose plane crashed while pursuing what he and others described as a large metallic disc, and the electrifying story of a large, glowing rocket-like craft seen over Alabama in July 1948 by pilots Clarence S. Chiles and John B. Whitted, Keyhoe drove home the idea that there was simply no better source for these aerial mysteries than outer space.
Major Donald E. Keyhoe, filmed at a Pentagon Press Briefing in Washington DC on July 31, 1952 (National Archives/Public Domain).
By some estimates, his True article from 1950 is still regarded as being one of the most widely read and discussed articles of all time, and in effect, Keyhoe successfully sold this “extraterrestrial hypothesis” to an interested American readership. With Keyhoe’s help, the saucers had finally landed on dimly lit runways within the public imagination, and their alien occupants had now been exposed.
Extraterrestrials, and Other Alternatives
The problem with all this is that there was never anything conclusive as far as evidence in support of this idea. That was true in 1950, and it remains the case more than 70 years after the publication of Keyhoe’s article.
Despite this, many modern proponents seem to conclude that there are no other realistic possibilities, and therefore just like Keyhoe argued, UFOs must be extraterrestrial.
“The United States has the highest military technology in the world. Period. Everyone in the Pentagon down to the floor polishers knows this,” read a quote from Stephen Bassett, executive director of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) which appeared in one of its newsletters dated June 6, 2021. According to its website, the PRG is an advocacy group that has for years sought to expose government knowledge of “an extraterrestrial presence engaging the human race.”
According to Bassett, “there is only one option left to explain not 120 incidents over the past two decades, but thousands of incidents since 1947, and that explanation is extraterrestrial. PERIOD.” Bassett’s statement was in response to a New York Times article published in advance of the delivery of the UAP Task Force’s preliminary assessment to the ODNI in June.
Not all proponents of the study of unusual aerial phenomena are quite so married to the idea that they must have an extraterrestrial source. Dr. David Clarke is a professor of journalism and folklore who acted as a consultant and spokesman for Britain’s National Archives during the period when the Ministry of Defence (MoD) released its records on UFOs. Clarke says that while he would hesitate to link UFO sightings to extraterrestrials, he has found cases in the MoD’s files that left him stumped.
“There are lots and lots of accounts and experiences that I just find utterly baffling, but they aren’t really the ones that are well known,” Clarke says. “If I explained some of these stories, you would never have heard of them before, because no one knows about them. They’re not as media-friendly.”

Clarke published a feature earlier this year in Fortean Times which argued convincingly that many UAP encounters receiving widespread media attention may not be as rock-solid as they are often conveyed. “The idea that military detection of UFOs on radar provides empirical evidence of visitations to Earth by an unknown technology is an attractive one – if it were true,” Clarke wrote in the article.
However, speaking with Dr. Clarke about his research, he stops short of saying that all UFO reports can be easily explained.
“I’m not for one minute trying to suggest that science has got an explanation for everything,” Clarke says, adding that when it comes to UFOs, “I certainly don’t think that at all.”
Clarke says that in addition to reports he has uncovered from his own research at the Ministry of Defence archives, he was particularly intrigued by the conclusions of Project Condign, a secret study of UFOs that the British Government’s Defence Intelligence Staff (DIS) conducted between 1997 and 2000. It resulted in a four-volume, 460-page report on the project’s findings, in which its author concluded, “that UAP exist is indisputable… [they] clearly can exhibit aerodynamic characteristics well beyond those of any known aircraft or missile – either manned or unmanned.”
“When I actually read that, and I actually got hold of that report twenty years ago, it was quite a stunning conclusion,” Clarke says. “So here was the guy, the UFO expert at the Ministry of Defence, he was actually saying ‘well, I’ve studied this for thirty years. My conclusion is these things exist.’”
While Project Condign’s conclusions seemed to affirm the MoD’s views about the existence of UFOs, they did not link such aerial phenomena to theories about an extraterrestrial presence on Earth.
“They’re not aliens,” Clarke says of the report’s findings. “They’re not extraterrestrials, but they’re some kind of atmospheric plasma. That was his explanation.”
To Clarke, the fact that Project Condign would leave open the possibility that an as yet unrecognized phenomenon could account for UFOs “was almost like an invitation to scientists to say ‘hey, come and have a look at this data. This guy’s taking it seriously.’” Clarke adds that the report’s author “had access to a lot of secret data that a lot of average atmospheric scientists perhaps wouldn’t be aware of.”
“But no one seems to be interested in that,” he laments. “It’s not showbiz, is it?”
“Atmospheric plasmas aren’t as interesting or as sexy as aliens in spaceships,” Clarke says. “So the media aren’t gonna go with that one.”
The Extraterrestrial Hypothesis: A Scientific Perspective
The legacy of the extraterrestrial hypothesis is one that has endured long enough for it to have become ingrained in our culture, and thereby it permeates much of our current thinking about UFOs. The presence of this “ET bias” in the current dialogue creates difficulties for scientists who wish to look objectively at the UFO subject, while also taking the possibility of extraterrestrial visitation seriously without becoming married to it.
Robert Powell, an Executive Board Member and co-founder of the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies (SCU), a group which applies science toward resolving the UFO/UAP question, is clear in pointing out that while the extraterrestrial hypothesis could one day be validated, presently it is still only one possibility.
“A hypothesis is simply that. It’s what theory best fits the facts with what we know today,” Powell says. “It doesn’t mean that we’ve said [a UFO] is an extraterrestrial spaceship.”
Before his work with the SCU, Powell served as Director of Research at the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) from 2007-2017 and established the organization’s Science Review Board in 2012. Although he emphasizes that theories about extraterrestrial technologies are only hypothetical, he also says they are a logical approach toward possibly understanding the phenomenon.
“What we’re saying is that the extraterrestrial hypothesis is the best of the hypotheses that we’ve come up with to explain [UAP],” Powell explains, adding that “someone could always come up with better hypotheses, or we get new data that makes us change [our minds].”
While some scientists like Powell see the extraterrestrial hypothesis as being potentially useful as an explanatory model for understanding UAP, others see the problem of categorizing UAP based on our current knowledge of the phenomenon as being nearly impossible at the present time.
“I truly do not know as to how and what to categorize [UAP],” says Ravi Kopparapu, a Planetary Scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center. Among his research interests, Kopparapu has been involved in NASA-funded searches for possible technosignatures of alien civilizations in recent years.
“Confirmed UAP completely defy any reasonable imagination that we could have,” Kopparapu told The Debrief in an email. “I would not categorize them, at this point, as technosignatures because there is no evidence that I know of that could indicate that they are from a technological civilization.”
Kopparapu, while interested in the study of UAP, takes issue with those who conclude that since they cannot be easily explained, they must therefore represent extraterrestrial technologies.
“‘What else could they be?’ is not a scientific explanation,” Kopparapu says. “We need hard evidence. And to collect hard evidence, we need a systematic collection of data on UAP, or access to data that may have already been collected.”
Scientists Seek Access to UAP Data
Kopparapu is one of the many scientists who, in recent days, have noted that current efforts to collect information about UAP by the U.S. government will be of little use to scientists if the data remains classified.
“The sky is not classified,” wrote Harvard Astronomer Avi Loeb in an article for Scientific American in June, adding that “only government-owned sensors are. By searching for unusual phenomena in the same geographical locations from where the UAP reports came, scientists could clear up the mystery in a transparent analysis of open data.”
“When the UAP report [was delivered] to Congress, it was quite intriguing to me,” Loeb recently told The Debrief, “because it defined some objects as real because they were detected by multiple instruments, so they couldn’t have been a malfunction of a particular camera or a hallucination of a pilot. And at the same time, it suggested that the government doesn’t know the nature of these objects.”
“That’s an unusual admission by the intelligence agencies,” Loeb says, “because they’re getting paid to figure out what flies in our sky. And they admit to Congress that they can’t figure it out.”
“So at that point, it became clear to me that this subject needs to move away from the talking points of politicians and military personnel, and to the realm of science.”
In the days following the arrival of the UAP Task Force’s preliminary report, Loeb announced the launch of The Galileo Project, an effort that he and other astronomers will be undertaking that will attempt to obtain high-resolution imagery and other data related to UAP.
“I cannot stress enough how important it is to have the data available to scientists to know what they are,” Kopparapu told The Debrief. “Without access to proper data, un-substantiated hypotheses and conspiracy theories take the vacuum created by the lack of a science-based hypothesis. I equate this with superstitions we have had over the centuries until science replaced them.”
Although exploring the possibility that some UAP could have extraterrestrial origins is not inherently a conspiracy theory, over the decades there have been countless claims that involve alleged coverups of an extraterrestrial reality by the U.S. government. This, in addition to stories of alien abduction, purported wreckage retrievals of alien craft or technology, and a host of other claims involving extraterrestrial visitation to Earth.
Despite the widespread support they often see from many proponents of unidentified aerial phenomena, the majority of these claims remain unsubstantiated. Even if they were actually true, no conclusive evidence in support of the existence of extraterrestrials or their technologies has ever surfaced that would be capable of satisfying the requirements of science, let alone producing a testable hypothesis.
Despite his concerns about unsubstantiated theories—extraterrestrial or otherwise—which have often lead the UFO/UAP narrative in the past, Kopparapu does not doubt the presence of a genuine phenomenon behind the more credible reports.
“UAP are real and they exist,” Kopparapu says. “Many of them we see in our skies. Some may have perfectly sensible explanations, but not all of them can be explained away. That kind of thinking is not scientific.”
Although he feels sure about their existence, nothing Kopparapu has studied about these phenomena makes them any less perplexing.
“As a scientist, it is just baffling to me that they exhibit characteristics that we do not understand, and we are not paying attention to it. They are absolutely worthy of a scientific study, probably one of the most interesting studies. We have done that in the U.S. a few decades ago. Other countries also studied them, so it is not U.S.-specific.”
Whether the ultimate solution to the UFO question has roots in technologies from other worlds or phenomena that arise from here on Earth, the results of future studies may one day finally bring a resolution to the debate. Today, scientists are still a good way from reaching any conclusions about the mysterious aerial phenomena that have received so much attention in recent months, and recaptured the imaginations of those who wonder about the greatest question of all: are we alone?
For Kopparapu, however, the path forward is clear.
“We need data on them, and any collected data [needs to be] made available,” Kopparapu says.
“There is no other way to say it.”

Neurosurgeon Describes Coming Face-To-Face With An Alien
Neurosurgeon Describes Coming Face-To-Face With An Alien
A neurosurgeon who has performed thousands of brain surgeries told a British‑based culture website that a near‑death experience in 2022 brought him into direct contact with a non‑human intelligence. According to the surgeon, who asked to remain unnamed pending publication of a formal medical report, he was briefly revived after a cardiac arrest during a routine operation and found himself “face‑to‑face with an entity that communicated not with words, but through thoughts that seemed to bypass language altogether.” He described the being as “tall, luminous, and composed of a light‑like substance,” adding that the encounter lasted only a few seconds before his heart rhythm normalized and he was returned to the operating table.
During the episode the surgeon said the entity transmitted a series of impressions about the nature of human consciousness, the interconnectedness of all life, and the “vast, layered structure of the universe.” He recalled a specific phrase that he interpreted as a warning: “Your species is on the brink of a choice that will define its future.” The neurosurgeon, who has published research on neural plasticity in peer‑reviewed journals, said the experience left him with a lingering sense of clarity and a renewed interest in the philosophical dimensions of brain function. “It was as if a circuit in my own mind was suddenly illuminated from the outside,” he told the website, adding that the telepathic communication felt “more precise than any language I have ever used with a patient.”
The account arrives amid a resurgence of public interest in unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) and near‑death experiences (NDEs), topics that have recently received limited attention from governmental panels and scientific societies. In June 2024, the U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence released a report acknowledging that many UAP sightings remain unexplained, while the American Academy of Neurology has convened a task force to examine the neurobiology of NDEs. Researchers in the field caution that subjective experiences during severe physiological stress can produce vivid hallucinations, altered time perception, and feelings of transcendence, often interpreted through cultural lenses. Dr. Maya Patel, a neuropsychologist at the University of California, San Diego, noted, “Extreme hypoxia or the release of neurochemicals like DMT can generate experiences that feel profoundly real, but they do not constitute evidence of external entities.”
Skeptics have also pointed out the lack of corroborating data. The surgeon’s claim is based solely on personal recollection; no audio, video, or physiological recordings of the alleged encounter have been released. Moreover, the original article appeared on BroBible, a site known for entertainment‑focused content rather than scientific journalism. “Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence,” said Dr. Leonard Hsu, a professor of neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins University. “While the surgeon’s credentials are impressive, a single anecdotal report cannot be taken as proof of extraterrestrial contact without independent verification.”
The neurosurgeon says he is preparing a detailed case study for submission to a medical journal, where he hopes to explore the possible mechanisms behind the telepathic impression and its implications for our understanding of consciousness. He emphasizes that his primary aim is not to prove the existence of aliens, but to investigate how the brain processes experiences that fall outside conventional neurophysiology. “If there is a way to bridge the gap between subjective experience and objective science, we owe it to our patients—and to humanity—to pursue it rigorously,” he concluded. Whether the medical community will embrace the report or dismiss it as an extraordinary NDE remains to be seen, but the story underscores the ongoing tension between empirical inquiry and the human desire to find meaning beyond the known.

Zijn Aliens Mensen Uit De Toekomst? Controverse en Vraagstukken in het UFO-debat
Zijn Aliens Mensen Uit De Toekomst? Controverse en Vraagstukken in het UFO-debat
Inleiding
Het fenomeen van ongedefinieerde luchtverschijnselen, beter bekend als UFO's (Unidentified Flying Objects) of UAP's (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), blijft één van de meest intrigerende en controversiële onderwerpen in de moderne wetenschap en populaire cultuur. Jarenlang werd dit terrein beschouwd als pseudowetenschap of puur sciencefiction, maar de laatste decennia zien we een toenemende ernst onder onderzoekers, overheidsinstanties en zelfs militaire instanties die zich verdiepen in deze mysterieuze verschijnselen. Recentelijk heeft een nieuwe invalshoek het discours flink opgewaardeerd: de gedachte dat sommige UAP's niet van buitenaardse origine zouden kunnen zijn, maar dat ze mogelijk de aanwezigheid of het bestaan van toekomstige mensen, of zelfs ondergrondse of onderwaterlevensvormen op aarde, kunnen vertegenwoordigen.
Deze nieuwe benadering, die men ‘cryptoterrestrische hypothese’ noemt, is voor velen nog steeds controversieel maar wint langzaam aan terrein, vooral door de invloed van nieuwe onderzoeksgegevens, geavanceerde technologie en de openheid van sommige wetenschappers en ingewijden. In dit artikel onderzoeken we de achtergrond en de implicaties van deze theorieën, geïllustreerd met voorbeelden en getuigenissen, en proberen we de vragen te beantwoorden: Zijn die vreemde wezens en objecten die we zien echt buitenaards? Of zouden ze misschien meer met ons eigen toekomstperspectief te maken hebben? Of nog verdergaande mogelijkheden zoals het bestaan van ondergrondse beschavingen of tijdreizen?
De Waarom en Hoe van het UFO-debat
Het ontstaan van het moderne UFO-debat werd voornamelijk gemotiveerd door de talloze waarnemingen, vaak zonder verklaring, die sinds de jaren 1940 en 1950 zich opstapelen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn de beroemde Roswell-incident uit 1947, waarbij een mysterieuze resten van een onbekend object werden gevonden, of de vele video-opnamen en getuigenverslagen van militaire en civiele piloten die objecten zagen die fysiek onmogelijk leken volgens de bekende natuurwetten.
Deze waarnemingen leiden vaak tot de aanname dat we te maken hebben met buitenaardse bezoekers, een idee dat populair werd door sciencefictionfilms en boeken. Maar ondertussen groeit ook de overtuiging dat we niet alles over de fenomenen weten en dat andere, minder gangbare theorieën zelfs veel plausibeler kunnen zijn. Eén van deze theorieën is de cryptoterrestrische hypothese, die stelt dat sommige UAP's mogelijk niet van buitenaardse afkomst zijn, maar dat ze gehost worden door wezens en vormen van leven die onder of op onze planeet wonen, of zelfs door toekomstige menselijke beschavingen die terug in de tijd reizen.
De Analyse van Dr. Michael Masters
Een van de meest invloedrijke recente stemmen in dit debat is Dr. Michael Masters, een antropoloog verbonden aan Montana Tech University. In een interview met onderzoeksjournalist Ross Coulthart in juli 2024 besprak Masters zijn theorie dat veel van de herkenbare kenmerken van de ‘grijze aliens’, de mythologische wezens die algemeen worden afgebeeld in UAP-rapporten, misschien toch mensen van de toekomst kunnen zijn.
Volgens Masters worden deze verschijnselen vaak gekenmerkt door opvallend menselijke anatomische kenmerken, zoals de twee benen, twee armen, een grote hoofdvorm en grote ogen. Hij wijst hierbij op het concept van ‘synapomorfieën’, dat is een term uit de evolutionaire biologie die verwijst naar gedeelde afgeleide kenmerken die duiden op een gemeenschappelijke afstamming. Als deze kenmerken terug te voeren zijn op een evolutionaire lijn, dan zou dat kunnen betekenen dat deze wezens niet buitenaards zijn, maar van onze eigen soort of een verre afstammingslijn.
Masters vertelt bijvoorbeeld dat hij zich al van jongs af interesseerde voor de humanoïde vormen die beschreven worden in de bekende Amerikaanse roman ‘Communion’ van Whitley Strieber, en dat hij na diepgaand onderzoek erachter kwam dat veel van de kenmerken die in deze verhalen voorkomen, overeenkomsten vertonen met menselijke anatomie. Een verbluffend voorbeeld dat hij aanhaalt is het zien van schepselen met grote hoofden en juist grote ogen, die mogelijk een soort ’vergeestelijk whitemens’ zouden kunnen zijn die zich onder ons bevinden of in een ver verleden leefden en nog steeds ondergrondse of onderwaternetwerken gebruiken om zich te verbergen.
Cryptoterrestiële Hypothese en Alternatieven
Volgens Masters en andere voorstanders van de cryptoterrestrische theorie zouden deze ‘aliens’ of mysterieuze verschijnselen niet per se van buitenaardse herkomst zijn, maar kunnen ze ondergrondse of onderwaterlevensvormen betreffen, of zelfs intelligentie die afkomstig is uit het verleden of de toekomst. Het voorstel dat ondergrondse systemen—zoals de mysterieuze ‘Big Dig’ onder de Amerikaanse hoofdstad Washington of de ondergrondse steden in Turkije—plek bieden aan toch nog onbekende wezens, krijgt steeds meer aandacht.
Dr. Michael Masters
Ook het idee dat bepaalde figuren of verschijnselen niet uit de ruimte komen, maar mogelijk uit ‘cryptoveelanden’ die zich onder ons bevinden, wordt door sommige onderzoekers serieus genomen. Zo zijn er verhalen van militairen en bewoners die vreemde geluiden of lichtverschijnselen onder de grond melden, en dat deze wellicht het gevolg zouden kunnen zijn van levende organismen die zich niet op het zicht bevinden.
Bovendien is er het bewijs van geheime overheidsprogramma's en onderzoeksprojecten waarbij het gebruik van ondergrondse en onderwatergebieden een rol speelt. Sommige van deze projecten worden pas recentelijk openbaar, zoals het bekende ‘AQUARIUS’-programma dat zich richt op onderwaterspionage en ondergrondse bases. Het is voorstelbaar dat deze systemen gebruikt worden voor het verkennen of zelfs het bewonen van verborgen ecosystemen.
Voorbeelden hiervan zijn bijvoorbeeld de zogenoemde ‘UFO-raadsplaats’ in de Amerikaanse staat Nevada, waar militairen geluiden en lichtsignalen melden die niet van menselijke oorsprong konden zijn, en ook het rapport van whistleblower David Grusch, die verklaarde dat geheime overheidsprogramma’s al jaren bezig zijn met het verzamelen van artefacten en getuigenissen over ondergrondse beschavingen en tijdreizen.
De Rol van Tijdreizen en Futuristische Menselijke Beschavingen
Naast de cryptoterrestrische theorieën bestaan er ook ideeën dat sommige UAP's en ‘aliens’ symbolisch of daadwerkelijk het resultaat kunnen zijn van menselijke activity uit de toekomst, via zogenaamde tijdreizen. Op basis van de universele relativiteitstheorie en aanwijzingen uit kwantumfysica, bestaat de mogelijkheid dat geavanceerde beschavingen de technologie ontwikkeld hebben om door tijd te reizen.
Volgens deze theorie zouden de wezens die we waarnemen wellicht niet extraterrestrisch zijn, maar tijdreizende toekomstige mensen die beschikken over technologisch ver gevorderde middelen. Ze zouden terug in de tijd reizen om certain experimenten uit te voeren of om bepaalde kennis te verzamelen, vergelijkbaar met sciencefictionconcepten uit films zoals ‘Timeline’ of ‘The Terminator’.
Een voorbeeld dat vaak aangehaald wordt, is dat sommige UAP-solidaten geen duidelijke pilootfiguren of航tekeningen vertonen, maar zich gedragen als ‘onpersoonlijke’ entiteiten die door de lucht bewegen met onvoorstelbare snelheid en wendbaarheid. Dit zou kunnen wijzen op futuristische technologieën die wij momenteel niet begrijpen, maar die door een tijdreizende mensheid gebruikt worden.
Het bewijs voor deze theorie is nog zeer speculatief, maar sommige getuigenverhalen en geheime documenten lijken te suggereren dat tijdreizen mogelijk is op het niveau van de beschavingen die we nu nog enkel kunnen theoretiseren. Het “Haarlem Protocol”, dat mag worden gezien als een hypothetisch voorbeeld van tijdscommunicatie, wordt zelfs door sommige wetenschappers en ufologen aangehaald om de plausibiliteit te onderbouwen.
Voor- en Nadelen van de Cryptoterrestrische en Tijdreis-Hypothesen
De voorstanders van deze theorieën wijzen op de talrijke waarnemingen en aanwijzingen die niet passen binnen het klassieke buitenaardse scenario. Ze stellen dat het accepteren van deze alternatieven een bredere en meer inclusieve wetenschap zou stimuleren, en wellicht antwoorden biedt op eeuwenoude raadsels zoals de‘Verailles-codex’ of de mysterieuze ondergrondse tunnels bij Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Tegelijkertijd waarschuwen critici dat dergelijke theorieën te zeer gebaseerd zijn op speculatie en samenzweringstheorieën. Ze benadrukken dat het gebrek aan hard bewijs het moeilijk maakt om definitieve conclusies te trekken, en dat sommige onderzoekers te ver afdwalen in fantasieën die niet testbaar of falsifieerbaar zijn.
Toch blijft de discussie voortduren, vooral door recente onthullingen en de toenemende transparantie van overheden en defensie-instanties over UAP-dossiers. Het opkomende bewijs dat bepaalde fenomenen zich niet verdrijven met eenvoudige verklaringen, maakt dat de discussie over de ware aard van deze verschijnselen actueler is dan ooit.
Voorbeelden en Getuigenissen
Een treffend voorbeeld dat vaak aangehaald wordt, is de getuigenis van piloten van de Amerikaanse marine, die objecten zagen die zich onbegrijpelijk snel en zonder geluidsbarrière voortbewogen, en die geen mechanische of natuurlijke verklaring leken te hebben. In 2023 werden bijvoorbeeld video’s vrijgegeven waarin militaire piloten spreken over objecten met vormen en gedrag die het mogelijk maken dat ze niet van aardse origine zijn.
Daarnaast zijn er meldenissen van gewone burgers die vreemde lichtbollen boven hun huizen zagen zweven, of ondergrondse tunnels en bestratingen die niet inbegrepen waren in bestaande kaarten en theorieën. Sommige van deze getuigenissen werden geëxploreerd door cryptofysici en anonieme onderzoekers die concluderen dat het plausibel is dat ondergrondse of onderwater-ecosystemen samenhangen met de fenomenen.
Conclusie: De Grenzen van Wetenschap en Openheid
Het debat over de ware aard van UAP’s en de mogelijke rol van toekomstige of ondergrondse beschavingen vereist een open, multidisciplinaire aanpak die de cultuur, psychologie, biologie en natuurwetenschap integreert. We moeten voorzichtig zijn met te snel conclusies, maar tegelijkertijd niet blind blijven voor nieuwe ideeën die mogelijk onze perceptie van de werkelijkheid kunnen veranderen.
De recente theorieën over aliens als toekomstige mensen en cryptoterrestrische bewoning bieden een fascinerende blik op de diepere vragen: Wat betekent het om mens te zijn in een universum dat zo vol mysteries zit? Hoe kunnen we de mysterieuze verschijnselen interpreteren zonder in clichés te vervallen? En moeten we misschien onze blik naar buiten en naar binnen tegelijk richten, voor een vollediger begrip van het onbekende?
De toekomst brengt nieuwe technologische en wetenschappelijke doorbraken, en wellicht zullen we ooit in staat zijn om definitief te ontdekken of sommige UAP's wellicht niet buitenaards zijn, maar veeleer geheime spiegels van onze eigen evolutie, tijd, en ondergrondse werelden. Tot die tijd blijft het UFO-debat een fascinerende mix van wetenschap, mystiek en verbeelding, waarin alle mogelijke perspectieven hun plaats verdienen.
Wanneer we bedenken hoe de menselijke soort enorme technologische vooruitgangen en veranderingen doormaakt waarvan de effecten mogelijk pas na enkele/vele eeuwen of miljoenen jaren zichtbaar zijn, lijkt het inderdaad mogelijk dat toekomstige mensen er uit kunnen zien als buitenaardse wezens. Kijk naar het volgende:
Afname van het gebruik van menselijke ledematen, of het onvermogen van mensen om hun ledematen te gebruiken zoals wij dat nu doen. Kunstmatige ledematen kunnen echter helpen dat mensen meerdere handen, vingers, enz. hebben om veel meer te kunnen bereiken en sneller te multitasken dan met onze huidige twee handen met beperkte functies mogelijk is.
Vermogen of technologie om verloren ledematen of organen te laten teruggroeien.
Van nature zwakker/dunner skeletsysteem en zwakkere spieren. Maar met minder beweging en gebruik zullen toekomstige mensen zelfs geen sterke, broze botten en spieren nodig hebben. Of een kledingachtig soepel flexibel skelet of sterke botten van staal/plastic, beide zorgen ervoor dat ze hun botten niet zo gemakkelijk breken als wij.
Verminderd gebruik van normale menselijke hersenen. Er zullen intelligente computers en AI zijn om al het denken voor hen te doen. Dit zal hen helpen grote hoeveelheden informatie, feiten en cijfers en data en miljoenen (en miljarden) boeken en bestanden in hun hoofd op te slaan, die allemaal te allen tijde door hen toegankelijk zullen zijn.
Zwakker geheugen. Maar geïmplanteerde chips kunnen het natuurlijke geheugen en de hersenfuncties overbodig maken en mensen angstaanjagend intelligenter maken dan nu, met veel kunstmatig geheugen dat in staat kan zijn om toegankelijke informatie uit de afgelopen duizenden jaren op te slaan.
Constant staren naar lichtgevende schermen kan de normale oogfuncties beschadigen, maar implantaten kunnen mensen zelfs betere, scherpere ogen geven dan die we nu hebben, met veel meer functies dan een normaal oog, zoals het opnemen van live-evenementen, eidetic geheugen, functies om visies te verzenden, uit te zenden en te delen met meerdere mensen, ogen met een gezichtsveld van 360 graden, verbeterd gezichtsvermogen, natuurlijk nachtzicht enzovoort
Hetzelfde geldt voor oren. Verminderde natuurlijke auditieve capaciteit, maar mogelijk ook verbeterde auditieve capaciteit door kunstmatige oorimplantaten.
Verminderde capaciteit om persoonlijke relaties of vriendschappen te onderhouden, maar vergrote capaciteit om de relatie tussen baas en werknemer te onderhouden, in teamverband te werken, contractuele opdrachten te voltooien, missies uit te voeren enzovoort.
Of te veel seks te vroeg totdat men vrij oud is. Een droom die voor velen uitkomt! Of aseksueel uit mode.
Vergrote capaciteit om ouderdom en alle ouderdomssymptomen af te weren. Mensen zullen een glanzende, stralende, delicate, olijfkleurige huid ontwikkelen die zo sterk is dat deze niet scheurt, snijdt, bloedt of rimpels krijgt. Vroege lichamelijke rijping en vertraagde ouderdom. Daarbij komt ook een verhoogde menselijke levensduur.
Toegenomen onvermogen om zonlicht, buitenlucht (verse lucht), daglicht, weersomstandigheden, regen, onbehandeld water, aarde, enz. te verdragen.
Sterk vatbaar voor insulineresistentie, zwak hart, obesitas, infecties, hoge bloeddruk, kanker en vele nieuwe ziekten zoals kunstmatig geheugen-/ledemaat-/oog-/oor-/hersenfalen, datacorruptie in de hersenen, hersenhacking, AI-misdrijven, slaapcoma, enz. enz.
Toegenomen vermogen om veel te eten en te verteren. Of helemaal geen behoefte hebben aan voedsel dankzij de beschikbaarheid van microvoeding. Misschien zullen toekomstige mensen door een verhoogde gevoeligheid voor dieren- en plantensoorten helemaal stoppen met het telen van gewassen en vee, en zichzelf onderhouden via in het laboratorium gekweekte voedingsstoffen. Stel je voor, ze slikken een pil en kunnen 30 dagen zonder voedsel en water overleven…!
Mogelijk ook het vermogen om in water en de ruimte te bestaan.
Toenemende ontevredenheid over hun natuurlijke lichaam en toenemende pogingen tot aanpassingen zoals verandering van huidskleur, positie van ledematen, enz.
Aangezien het vinden van partners, het onderhouden van relaties, gezin en kinderen behoorlijk duur, moeilijk en enorm stressvol is, zullen toekomstige mensen mogelijk proberen een oplossing te vinden die partners en relaties volledig overbodig maakt. Misschien kunnen toekomstige mensen beide geslachten en alle functies van beide geslachten in één ontworpen geslacht opnemen en evolueren tot een volledig androgyne soort die geen externe partners nodig heeft.
De resulterende toekomstige mensen kunnen zwakke ledematen hebben, stijve nekken, met geheugen-/hersenen-/oor-/oogimplantaten, met zwak natuurlijk geheugen/visie/ouden/hersenen, seksueel overbelast of geen seks, single maar sociaal wereldwijd verbonden, langlevend, totaal ziek maar toch volledig gezond en volledig functioneel, ouderhatend, voortplantingshatend, medicijnen etend, drugs genietend, hardwerkende mensen.
Deze afbeelding kan goed van toekomstige mensen zijn. Let op de zwaar uitstekende grotere hersenomvang, het kleinere lichaam, de gebogen misvormde rug, de bredere langere ogen, afwezige oren, extra lange handen met extra lange vingers (nodig voor het indrukken van toetsen en multitasken), maar delicate onderontwikkelde benen en bijna afwezige tenen, zwakke ledematen, een bleke wasachtige huid die nooit zonlicht of lucht lijkt te hebben gezien, een holle maag en nauwelijks zichtbare geslachtsdelen.
Opmerking: Gezien de ongekende richtingen die de huidige menselijke fysieke schoonheid aannemen, zou het ons niet moeten verbazen als deze buitenaardse figuur daadwerkelijk het toppunt van menselijke schoonheid wordt.
Het ontbreken van alle kleding kan een bewuste modekeuze worden om aardse hulpbronnen te sparen, onnodig zwaar werk bij het maken en dragen van kleding te besparen, of vanwege speciale huid en afwezigheid van externe geslachtsdelen de behoefte aan kleding overbodig is geworden.
Eindwoord
In de zoektocht naar de waarheid over onontdekte fenomenen in ons luchtruim, blijft het cruciaal om open te staan voor onverwachte en onconventionele theorieën. Of het nu gaat om buitenaardse bezoekers, tijdreizende mensen, of verborgen ondergrondse beschavingen, het ontdekken van de ware aard van UAP's kan onze kijk op de werkelijkheid fundamenteel veranderen. Het is wachten op verdere bewijzen en het ontwikkelen van nieuwe technologieën die ons dichter bij het antwoord brengen. Tot die tijd blijft het UFO-debat een universeel mysterie dat ons allemaal uitdaagt onze verbeeldingskracht en wetenschappelijke nieuwsgierigheid te blijven inzetten.

The Alien Autopsy: A Sensation, A Cultural Phenomenon, A Hoax
The Alien Autopsy: A Sensation, A Cultural Phenomenon, A Hoax
In the summer of 1995 a grainy, black‑and‑white reel surfaced that appeared to show a surgical team dissecting a small, gray‑skinned creature recovered after the 1947 Roswell incident. The footage was introduced to the public by Ray Santilli, a British entrepreneur who claimed the tape had been handed to him by a retired U.S. military cameraman who had witnessed an official “alien autopsy” at a secret base. Santilli’s press conference in London, broadcast on television networks across Europe and the United States, presented the clip as genuine evidence of a government cover‑up, and the image of a gloved hand pulling back a translucent membrane instantly entered the collective imagination of UFO enthusiasts and mainstream audiences alike.
The reaction was swift and massive. Within weeks, the clip was aired on major news programs, featured on late‑night talk shows, and spawned a flurry of newspaper headlines that ranged from “Proof of Extraterrestrials?” to “Government Lies Exposed.” Major publications such as *The New York Times* and *The Washington Post* ran investigative pieces questioning the tape’s provenance, while popular magazines like *Time* and *Newsweek* devoted full spreads to the cultural phenomenon it sparked. The footage also inspired a wave of creative output: a 1997 television drama titled *Alien Autopsy* (later adapted into a 2006 feature film), countless documentaries, and a surge in merchandise that turned the image into a recognizable pop‑culture icon.
Skepticism, however, emerged almost as quickly as the hype. In 1996, forensic analyst Dr. James E. Miller of the University of Arizona applied frame‑by‑frame analysis and identified several technical inconsistencies—most notably the use of a 16‑mm film stock that was not available to the U.S. military in the 1940s, and visible splices that suggested the footage had been edited. A subsequent investigation by the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) uncovered that the “military cameraman” could not be located, and that the alleged chain of custody was vague at best. In a 1997 interview, Santilli admitted that the original film had been damaged beyond repair and that the version shown to the public was a reconstruction using actors, prosthetics, and special effects, though he insisted the underlying event had indeed occurred.
Despite the admission, the “Alien Autopsy” continues to occupy a prominent place in discussions of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Researchers at the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) have cited the episode as a case study in how unverified media can shape public perception of governmental secrecy. A 2023 survey by the Pew Research Center found that 38 percent of Americans still believe some form of extraterrestrial recovery took place at Roswell, a figure that has remained relatively stable since the 1990s, underscoring the lasting impact of the hoax on collective belief. Moreover, the clip’s aesthetic—its stark, monochrome grain and clinical setting—has been repeatedly referenced in recent Pentagon‑released UAP videos, suggesting that the hoax has inadvertently set a visual template for how the public imagines secret government examinations of non‑human life.
The legacy of the 1995 film illustrates both the power and the peril of viral media in the UFO arena. While it undeniably fueled public interest and prompted a surge in scientific and journalistic inquiry into government transparency, it also demonstrated how easily a fabricated narrative can become entrenched in popular consciousness. As the U.S. Department of Defense continues to release declassified footage and as congressional hearings on UAPs gain traction, the “Alien Autopsy” serves as a cautionary reminder: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and the line between genuine disclosure and elaborate hoax can be perilously thin.

World-Changing Confession: Brazilian Doctor Says He Studied and Spoke With a Live Alien
World-Changing Confession: Brazilian Doctor Says He Studied and Spoke With a Live Alien
World-Changing Confession: Doctor Describes Studying Live Alien in Brazil’s “Roswell”
A groundbreaking revelation has emerged from Brazil, reigniting one of the most extraordinary UFO stories of all time – the 1996 Varginha incident, often called “The Roswell of Brazil.” In an updated version of his documentary Moment of Contact, filmmaker James Fox reveals an astonishing firsthand account from a Brazilian neurosurgeon who claims to have physically examined and telepathically communicated with a live alien being held in a hospital under military control.
The confession, coming nearly 30 years after the event, has been described by UFO investigators as one of the most compelling testimonies ever recorded – and potentially world-changing if verified.
The 1996 Varginha Crash: Brazil’s Roswell
The story begins on January 13, 1996, when a pilot named Carlos de Souza witnessed a strange cigar-shaped craft trailing vapor and losing altitude near Varginha, a small city in southeastern Brazil. The object eventually crashed in a nearby field, leaving debris that witnesses described as light, metallic, and self-healing – bending easily but returning to its original shape.
Military trucks soon arrived, cordoned off the area, and ordered civilians to leave at gunpoint. Within hours, the site was under complete military control. According to multiple eyewitnesses, the Brazilian army took over the wreckage, and several sources later claimed that American officials were also involved in the recovery and transport of the materials.
Face-to-Face with the Unknown
Just a few days later, on January 20, 1996, three young women – Lilian, Valkíria, and Kátia – were walking through a partially built neighborhood when they saw a strange creature crouched by a wall. It was small, about 1.5 meters tall, with oily brown skin, large red eyes, and three protruding lumps on its head.
When the being turned to look directly at them, the girls felt an intense psychic presence – as though it was silently asking for help. Terrified, they ran away and reported the encounter to their families. Within hours, the story spread throughout Varginha, drawing attention from the media and local police.
The Capture and Mysterious Death of a Policeman
That same evening, military police officer Marco Eli Chereze and his colleague responded to reports of another creature spotted nearby. When Chereze attempted to capture it, he reportedly wrestled the weak and frightened being into a car, sustaining a small scratch under his arm and coming into contact with a strange oily substance on its skin.
Days later, Chereze fell severely ill. His condition worsened rapidly, and despite extensive treatment, he died from a mysterious infection. The pathologists who examined his tissues later testified that the bacteria responsible behaved unlike anything known to science – resistant to every treatment and never observed before or since.
Dr. Italo Venturelli’s Shocking Confession
The most extraordinary revelation, however, came decades later from Dr. Italo Venturelli, the head neurosurgeon at the Regional Hospital of Varginha. In an emotional on-camera interview with filmmaker James Fox, Dr. Venturelli revealed that he had direct physical contact with one of the captured beings.
According to Venturelli, the creature was alive but injured and had been secretly brought to the hospital under heavy military guard. He described the being as pale-skinned, with large red eyes, small horn-like bumps, and a calm yet powerful presence.
In his words, “It communicated with me — not with words, but through thought. It was like speaking without speaking.”
He said that during the four minutes he spent with the alien, he sensed a deep intelligence and empathy, describing it as “angelic” and possessing a higher level of consciousness than humans.
Moments later, armed soldiers burst into the room, seized the being, and ordered everyone present to remain silent under threat. Venturelli and his colleagues were warned never to discuss the incident.
A Secret Buried – Until Now
Dr. Venturelli remained silent for nearly three decades. But after suffering a heart attack in 2024 and believing he might die, he decided he could not take the secret to his grave. “I’m doing this for my grandchildren,” he told Fox. “The world deserves to know the truth.”
He now stands by his testimony, offering to take a lie detector test and testify publicly before Congress or the Brazilian Parliament. His story is backed by hospital staff, pathologists, and local officials, many of whom confirm unusual activity that night – including the smell of ammonia throughout the hospital and the arrival of military trucks using the back entrance.
Fox’s investigation uncovered additional evidence of American military involvement. Former police chief Pedro Auar and other witnesses reported that U.S. helicopters and personnel were seen at nearby military bases, including ESA in Campinas, where the beings and debris were allegedly transported.
A U.S. Air Force plane reportedly landed in Brazil without official clearance, and a Freedom of Information request later revealed the event was classified as a national security matter by the CIA.
Local witnesses also reported being threatened and bribed by “men in dark suits” to retract their stories – with some told to claim that the alien was merely a “disabled homeless man.” Despite the pressure, none of the witnesses have ever retracted their accounts.
Anomalous Biology and Lingering Questions
Forensic experts who examined tissue samples from Officer Chereze’s infection reported that the bacteria was unlike any terrestrial strain, showing resilience to all known antibiotics. This discovery adds a biological dimension to the mystery – suggesting that the beings may carry completely foreign microbiology.
If confirmed, this would represent the first documented case of cross-species contamination from a non-human organism, raising both scientific and ethical implications for contact protocols.
Courage and the Push for Disclosure
Dr. Venturelli’s testimony is more than a medical account – it’s an act of moral courage. His emotional description of compassion for the captive being contrasts sharply with the secrecy and fear surrounding the case.
Filmmaker James Fox praises the doctor’s bravery, calling him “the kind of whistleblower humanity needs.” Fox reports that several other doctors and military officers are now considering coming forward to support Venturelli’s claims.
The revelations come amid a growing global movement for UAP disclosure, with U.S. scientists like Dr. Eric Davis calling for presidential action to waive secrecy agreements and allow officials to testify under oath about what they know.
A Turning Point for Humanity?
As Moment of Contact prepares for re-release in late 2025 – just before the 30th anniversary of the Varginha incident – anticipation is building worldwide. The film’s new footage, witness interviews, and government documents may finally bring the case into mainstream historical recognition.
Whether skeptics or believers, few can deny that Dr. Italo Venturelli’s confession marks a turning point. If his account holds true, it represents not only contact with an extraterrestrial intelligence — but also a profound test of humanity’s readiness for truth.
The Varginha incident stands as one of the most extraordinary and well-documented UFO encounters ever recorded. The confession of a respected neurosurgeon who studied a live alien being, coupled with corroborative military and medical testimony, pushes the case far beyond rumor into the realm of historical significance.
If verified, Dr. Venturelli’s encounter will not just rewrite the story of UFOs – it may redefine our understanding of life, intelligence, and consciousness in the universe.
A new analysis of surface temperature readings from NASA’s Cassini Mission has determined thatSaturn’s moon Enceladus is losing heat from both poles.
The study, conducted by researchers from Oxford University, the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), and the Planetary Science Institute (PSI), overturns previous assumptions that Enceladus was only losing heat from its active South Pole, thereby increasing the odds that the icy moon couldsupport biological activity.
“This stability means Enceladus’ ocean could have existed for a long-term, potentially giving life a chance to have evolved,” explained the study’s lead author, Dr Georgina Miles from SwRI and Visiting Scientist at the Department of Physics, University of Oxford, and study co-author, Oxford Prof. Carly Howett, also from the PRI, in an email to The Debrief.
The research team behind the new analysis also described Enceladus as “a top contender for extra-terrestrial life,” because it has heat, liquid water, and the right chemicals, such as complex hydrocarbons and phosphorus, needed for life on Earth. The researchers also told The Debrief that future missions to Enceladus could reveal critical data about the moon’s age and the age of its subsurface ocean, which is necessary to confirm its potential habitability.
Although researchers have suspected for some time that Enceladus’ ocean might support life, its long-term stability, which is required for life to evolve, has remained in question. This stability can only exist if its energy losses and gains remain in balance.
For example, if the moon’s squeezing and stretching caused by Saturn’s gravity creates too little energy, the surface activity would slow or even stop, resulting in the sub-surface ocean freezing. Conversely, if this gravity-induced tidal activity generates too much heat, the ocean’s activity would increase, which the researchers note would also dramatically alter its environment.
To determine if the ocean could stay stable over the geological timescales needed for life to develop, the researchers examined surface temperature data captured by Cassini between 2005 and 2017.
“We used north polar late winter observations (when the north pole was in winter darkness) and summer observations permanent daylight) for this study,” Dr. Miles and Prof. Howett told The Debrief.
The researchers said using data captured by Cassini during the moon’s deep winter (2005) and deep summer (2015) was important because heat conducted through the surface ice shell during the winter might be mistaken for the pole still cooling down from the summer. However, they note, this “wouldn’t be the case” for observations collected in summer.
“Observations from both seasons were required to rule that out,” they explained, adding that warmer regions were “easier to spot” when the moon’s surface is at its coldest.
The new study has constrained Enceladus’ global conductive heat flow by studying its seasonal temperature variations at its north pole (yellow). These results, when combined with existing ones of its highly active south polar region (red) provide the first observational constraint of Enceladus’ energy loss budget (<54 GW) – which is consistent with the predicted energy input (50 to 55 GW) from tidal heating. This implies Enceladus’ current activity is sustainable in the long term – an important prerequisite for the evolution of life, which is thought to exist in its global subsurface ocean (Image credit: University of Oxford/NASA/JPL-CalTech/Space Science Institute (PIA19656 and PIA11141))
According to a statement detailing the research, the team used this data to create expected surface temperature models during the polar night and compare them against infrared observations captured by Cassini’s Composite InfraRed Spectrometer (CIRS). These models revealed that the surface of the North Pole, which had previously been considered inactive, was approximately seven times warmer than previous models had predicted. The team said this discrepancy could only be explained if the sub-surface ocean was leaking heat through the icy shell.
Dr. Miles and Prof. Howett told The Debrief that the moon’s maximum total outgoing heat “is comparable to the best current estimates” of Enceladus’ tidal heating rate. In short, the heat generated and lost are a close match. The team said this finding indicates it might be possible for the sub-surface ocean to be maintained in liquid form “so long as its orbit around Saturn remains stable.”
“With current theories about ‘tidal locking,’ this is entirely possible,” they added.
In the study’s conclusion, the researchers suggest that a better understanding of Enceladus’ age would help constrain the duration of its subsurface ocean’s likely existence in liquid form. Dr. Miles and Prof. Howett told The Debrief that the age of all of Saturn’s moons is “highly uncertain,” and noted that Enceladus “is particularly difficult to age” because it has been continually resurfaced by alternating heating and cooling episodes throughout its icy shell.
“The fate of the moon is tied to the evolution of Saturn and its interior structure,” they said, adding that “Enceladus could be up to 1 billion years old, or as young as 150 million years, with current best estimates of 200-450 million years old.” For comparison, the Earth is approximately 4.5 billion years old.
When asked about any potential experiments that could help confirm the habitability of Enceladus’ ocean, the researchers said one viable method would involve in situ measurements of the size and composition of the nanoparticles previously observed by Cassini in the plumes ejected into space from the moon’s south pole. These readings could be used to “provide limits” on how long they’ve been at the rock-ocean interface, they explained, while also noting that “a lot of laboratory work is needed to verify this too.”
When discussing what tools or missions are necessary to confirm the moon’s potential habitability, the team said their work directly highlighted the need for long-term missions to ocean worlds like Enceladus that may harbor life, “and the fact [that] the data might not reveal all its secrets until decades after it has been obtained.”
“Our estimates of the energy balance will be significantly improved by future missions to Enceladus,” Dr. Miles and Prof. Howett told The Debrief.
Only one mission is currently selected to return to Enceladus, the European Space Agency’s next Large Class L4 mission. However, they said several more missions “are in the proposal stage.”
“The best information comes from Enceladus’ polar regions, which are hard to view from Earth-based observing systems,” the researchers told The Debrief. “You really need to return there to observe Enceladus with a modern instruments suite to understand its habitability potential.”

Scientist Reveals Details of Top-Secret UFO Research in Las Vegas
Scientist Reveals Details of Top-Secret UFO Research in Las Vegas
Colm Kelleher, a marine biologist who spent more than a decade working on the Department of Defense’s Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP), has recently lifted the veil on one of the United States’ most extensive and secretive investigations into unidentified aerial phenomena. In a new memoir released this month, Kelleher describes how a multi‑agency task force, headquartered in a discreet facility near Las Vegas, received the largest ever budget allocation for studying UFOs and related anomalous events. “The funding was unprecedented,” he writes, “and it allowed us to bring together physicists, engineers, psychologists and, yes, biologists, to examine reports that had previously been dismissed as fringe.” The book, which blends personal narrative with declassified documentation, offers a rare insider’s view of a program that operated parallel to the more widely known AATIP effort, yet was far more expansive in scope.
The Las Vegas‑based operation, according to Kelleher, was tasked not only with analyzing radar and sensor data from military pilots but also with investigating phenomena that straddled the line between aerospace anomalies and what some would label “paranormal.” Among the most intriguing cases were the recurring reports from the so‑called Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, a property long associated with unexplained lights, animal mutilations and other oddities. Kelleher notes that the team deployed a combination of high‑resolution cameras, lidar mapping and environmental sampling to capture data that could be cross‑referenced with eyewitness accounts. “We were looking for any measurable signature—electromagnetic, acoustic, biological—that could point to a non‑human source,” he explains. While the findings remain classified, the book suggests that the data collected at Skinwalker Ranch was among the most compelling, prompting the program to allocate additional resources for extended monitoring.
Kelleher’s account also sheds light on the internal dynamics that shaped the program’s direction. He describes a tension between traditional defense analysts, who emphasized potential foreign adversary technology, and a subset of scientists who entertained the possibility of non‑human intelligence. This debate influenced the allocation of research teams and the framing of investigative questions. “There were moments when the data forced us to consider hypotheses outside the conventional playbook,” he writes, “but the bureaucratic structure often required us to couch those ideas in more defensible, terrestrial terms.” The memoir recounts several high‑level briefings in which senior officials demanded rigorous statistical analysis, leading the team to develop novel methodologies for assessing low‑probability events without succumbing to confirmation bias.
The book also contextualizes the Las Vegas effort within a broader historical pattern of government‑sponsored UFO research. From Project Sign in the late 1940s to the recent establishment of the All‑Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) in 2022, each successive initiative has built upon the data and lessons of its predecessors. Kelleher points out that the AAWSAP program was the first to receive a dedicated, multi‑year budget that explicitly included “paranormal” phenomena, marking a shift from purely defensive concerns to a more open‑ended scientific inquiry. He credits this evolution to mounting pressure from congressional committees, veteran pilots and a growing public demand for transparency.
While Kelleher’s revelations provide unprecedented detail, many aspects of the Las Vegas program remain shrouded in classification. The memoir ends with a call for continued declassification and independent peer review, arguing that only through open scientific scrutiny can the true nature of these anomalies be determined. “If there is indeed evidence of non‑human intelligence, it is a matter of profound significance for humanity,” he concludes. As policymakers grapple with the implications of the emerging data, Kelleher’s insider perspective adds a crucial, measured voice to an ongoing debate that bridges national security, scientific curiosity and the public’s enduring fascination with the unknown.

Terrifyingly Graphic Witness Account of Alien Abduction
Terrifyingly Graphic Witness Account of Alien Abduction
A recent episode of the show "UFO Witness" has brought forward chilling testimony from individuals who claim to have experienced alien abductions, adding to the growing archive of contact narratives in the field of paranormal research. The episode centers on a detailed account from a woman named Elizabeth, who describes a harrowing and graphic encounter that left both physical and psychological marks.
Elizabeth recounts waking abruptly in the middle of the night to find a large, non-humanoid head hovering over her. She then realized she was surrounded by three beings—each holding one of her limbs—who proceeded to drag her from her bed and into the hallway. According to her recollection, she was unable to move or speak, completely paralyzed as she was transported to what she believes was an alien ship. "They put me into this very stiff metal chair in the middle of this room. I couldn't move. I couldn't speak. I was paralyzed," Elizabeth told the show's host. She describes seeing a cylindrical mechanism extend from a machine and enter her right ear, leading her to believe she was being implanted with some device. Upon being returned to her bed, she discovered a drop of blood on her ear, fueling suspicions of an alien implant.
While Elizabeth remains uncertain about the intentions of her abductors, she suspects the event was part of an experiment or project. "It didn't feel like good beings," she said, expressing unease about the nature of the encounter. Despite the trauma, she later reported additional contact with what she described as a "Pleiadian" being—a tall, humanoid figure believed in some UFO circles to originate from the Pleiades star cluster. According to Elizabeth, this being communicated with her telepathically, inviting her to a meeting of the so-called Galactic Federation, a group purported by believers to foster unity and share wisdom with humanity. Elizabeth’s account reflects the mixed narratives often found in abduction stories, with some describing their interactions as enlightening, while others report fear and violation.
The episode also introduces the account of Mary Edwards, who claims her abduction experience began at the age of six. Mary describes being placed on a cold metal table aboard a spacecraft, subjected to a machine with electrodes attached to her head. She later came to believe that her abductors were extracting eggs from her for use in hybridization experiments—a common theme in abduction lore. "I thought, what am I doing or what have I done wrong, what's wrong with me—not thinking that they were taking eggs from me to be able to procreate other hybrid kids," Mary recalled. Such testimonies echo a pattern of alleged reproductive experiments described by other self-identified abductees.
The program’s host and researchers acknowledge the deeply personal and subjective nature of these experiences. When pressed about the possibility of deception or alternate agendas on the part of the extraterrestrial visitors, Elizabeth conceded, "Ultimately, all I know to be true is my own experiences and that's not your truth and that's not humanity's truth because you were not there—so take it or leave it." This sentiment highlights a central challenge in the study of UFO and abduction phenomena: the tension between personal conviction and the broader need for verifiable evidence.
With accounts like Elizabeth's and Mary's contributing to a wider pattern of similar claims, researchers continue to grapple with the implications. While skeptics point to psychological or physiological explanations for such experiences, believers argue that the consistency of themes—such as paralysis, physical implants, and hybridization programs—warrants further investigation. As the archive of testimonies expands, the debate over the origins and meaning of these encounters shows no sign of abating.

Area52 | 17 Alien Beings Were Found ALIVE | DEBRIEFED Episode 61 | Nov. 7, 2025
Area52 | 17 Alien Beings Were Found ALIVE | DEBRIEFED Episode 61 | Nov. 7, 2025
The latest installment of the “DEBRIEFED” podcast, released on November 7, 2025, revisits Chapter Five of Nick Redfern’s controversial volume *NASA Conspiracies*. In that chapter, Redfern recounts the story of a former Wackenhut security guard who, while assigned to protect classified material at the Nevada test site commonly known as Area 51, allegedly read a set of internal reports describing the recovery of seventeen non‑human entities. According to the guard’s account, the documents detailed a series of invasive experiments on the beings and even claimed that the suits surrounding them exhibited signs of autonomous activity.
Redfern, a prolific author of UFO‑related literature, has long drawn criticism for blending documented incidents with speculative interpretation. His narrative in *NASA Conspiracies* relies heavily on anecdotal testimony and unverified paperwork. The guard’s identity has never been disclosed, and the purported documents have not been produced for independent analysis. In the podcast, host Michael “Mick” Alvarez notes, “We have no way of confirming the authenticity of those files, but the story aligns with a pattern of alleged ‘living suit’ phenomena that have surfaced in other whistle‑blower accounts over the past two decades.” The episode does not present the original documents, instead summarizing their alleged contents.
The claim of seventeen recovered beings adds to a growing list of alleged extraterrestrial recoveries tied to the secretive Groom Lake facility. Historically, the U.S. government has acknowledged the existence of classified aircraft testing programs at Area 51, but it has never confirmed any non‑human occupants. The notion of “living suits” echoes earlier reports from the 1990s, such as the alleged “Mysterious Metallic Objects” described by former contractor Paul Miller, which were said to respond to environmental stimuli. While these stories have fueled public fascination, they remain unsupported by verifiable evidence, and the Department of Defense has consistently classified any related material under national security exemptions.
The *DEBRIEFED* episode draws much of its material from a YouTube channel called “Area52 Investigations,” which has amassed a sizable following and frequently publishes video essays on alleged UFO incidents. The channel’s content, like the blog post on the “Information Machine” site that accompanied the episode, presents the narrative without offering primary source documentation. Media analysts caution that the reliance on secondary platforms can amplify uncorroborated claims. “When a story moves from a private memo to a podcast and then to a YouTube video, each step can introduce distortion,” says Dr. Elaine Harper, a researcher at the Center for Aerospace Policy Studies.
Nevertheless, the episode has sparked renewed discussion among UFO researchers and skeptics alike. Some commentators view the guard’s alleged curiosity as a plausible scenario—security personnel occasionally encounter highly restricted files and may be tempted to read them. Others argue that the lack of concrete evidence renders the story indistinguishable from myth. As the conversation continues, the broader issue remains: the balance between transparency about government‑run aerospace programs and the protection of genuinely classified information. Until the alleged documents surface in a verifiable format, the claim of seventeen alien beings and their “alive” suits will stay within the realm of speculation, serving as yet another chapter in the long‑standing saga of Area 51 lore.

Quick facts about aliens
Has extraterrestrial life been discovered?: Not yet!
Where are scientists looking for aliens?: Water-rich bodies in our solar system, like Jupiter's moon Europa, and Earth-like exoplanets — planets outside our solar system
How many planets in the Milky Way have the right conditions for life? An estimated 300 million
E.T., Stitch, Chewbacca, Groot — humans have a lot of ideas about what aliens might look like. But what is the science behind extraterrestrial life? Is it possible that humans will ever experience "first contact" with an alien species?
Many scientists hope so. They're looking for extraterrestrial life on planets with conditions that look like Earth's. A life-friendly planet would probably have water, for example. And for water to be a liquid, the planet must be the perfect distance from its sun for that water not to freeze or turn into a gas.
There's no evidence yet for life on other planets, but as scientists discover more and more planets outside our solar system, they're hopeful that some of these worlds will be "just right" for life to exist or evolve there.
5 fast facts about aliens
Scientists have been listening for alien signals with special radio receivers since 1992. They haven't picked up any yet!
Mars might have once hosted life — most likely tiny things like bacteria — but scientists can't say for sure.
Jupiter's moon Europa has an ocean, and it might have hydrothermal vents, or cracks in the seafloor where hot water seeps through. Scientists think life on Earth may have evolved in hydrothermal vents.
The "Goldilocks zone" is the space around a star where temperatures allow liquid water to exist. Many scientists think planets in the Goldilocks zone are those most likely to host life.
Sci-fi aliens like Baby Yoda are fun to imagine, but scientists are serious about extraterrestrial life. There are some 100 billion stars in the Milky Way galaxy and at least 2 trillion galaxies in the universe we can study. If most of those stars have at least one planet around them, there could be up to 20 billion trillion extraterrestrial worlds out there.
Given those numbers, it would be shocking if only a single planet — Earth — had life. But our closest neighbors in the solar system, Mars and Venus, don't seem to have any life. Some moons of Saturn and Jupiter have water, so they could have life — most likely tiny creatures the size of germs. If Earthlings ever meet aliens face-to-face, they'll probably need a microscope to say hi.
Until scientists find some firm proof, such as a communication signal from an alien world or fossilized microbes from Mars, Earth remains the only planet where life is known to exist.
What might aliens look like?
What aliens would look like would depend on where they came from. For example, on the icy moons in our solar system (Jupiter's Ganymede and Europa, and Saturn's Enceladus), life could thrive around hydrothermal vents in the oceans under the ice. This life might look like the weird creatures of the deep ocean seen on Earth. There could be primitive microbes, like Earth's single-celled Archaea. There might be relatively simple creatures with many cells in their body, sort of like Earth's tube worms, which live off chemicals from the vent fluid.
Earth formed about 4.5 billion years ago, and we think the first life existed by about 4.2 billion years ago. But life on Earth started simple and stayed that way for a long time. The first microbes that produced carbon evolved at least 3.7 billion years ago. (Carbon is an element that is a part of all known life.) But the kind of cells that gave rise to animals, plants and other complex life-forms didn't evolve until between 2.7 billion and 1.8 billion years ago. Life-forms made of many cells didn't show up until 600 million years ago. And modern humans came on the scene only around 300,000 years ago.
That means that, if other planets with life are like Earth, the time period in which they might host intelligent life (or even something as cuddly as a koala) is pretty brief. But there's a good chance that human life might overlap with microbial life on another planet.
Scientists do think that life on other planets would be driven by the same processes as it is on Earth, namely evolution. Changes to the environment drive living things to change, leading to new and more complex species. So a planet out in space that is like Earth and has been through many changes in its surface, rocks and climate would probably have complex life, too. In that case, aliens might face similar challenges and needs as here on Earth, and thus might evolve similar features. Eyes, for example, have evolved independently dozens of times on Earth, and they might evolve in life on other planets, too.
Superpowerful telescopes are allowing researchers to detect planets beyond our solar system that might host life. This image shows some exoplanets that might be similar to Earth (from left to right): Kepler-22b, Kepler-69c, Kepler-452b, Kepler-62f and Kepler-186f. Earth is on the far right.(Image credit: NASA/Ames/JPL-Caltech)
Where might aliens live?
Some scientists still hold out hope that life exists elsewhere in our solar system. If it does, it's probably on one of the these moons:
Ganymede: Jupiter's largest moon is bigger than Mercury and hides a giant ocean under its icy surface.
Europa: Another moon of Jupiter with an ice-bound ocean, Europa has liquid water, heat generated by the pull of Jupiter's gravity, and chemicals that are the building blocks of life.
Enceladus: This Saturn moon spews water vapor that contains carbon compounds from its surface. One of these compounds, hydrogen cyanide, is important for the origin of life.
Titan: This moon of Saturn is very cold, but it does have carbon-rich liquid on its surface. Any life found on Titan would have to thrive in conditions not seen on Earth.
Triton: Neptune's moon Triton is very, very cold, but it might have an ocean under its surface layer of ice. It also has geological activity in the form of geysers that erupt when the sun heats the nitrogen ice on the planet's surface.
And our next-door neighbor, Mars, may have hosted life in the past, because it used to have liquid water and an atmosphere. Today, any life would have to persist in deep pools of water below the Red Planet's surface.
Outside the solar system, scientists are continually discovering new exoplanets. They can learn things about these planets' atmospheres by studying the types of light waves they see using superpowerful telescopes. One promising exoplanet for life is called K2-18b. This world is too far for humans to visit, but the light from the planet has reached Earth. This light tells us the planet has an ocean. Scientists think they've detected some chemicals in K2-18b's atmosphere that could be made by marine life, but they don't know for sure.
How are scientists looking for aliens?
Scientists look for aliens in a few different ways.
First, they listen for alien signals. This is called "passive SETI," for "search for extraterrestrial intelligence." If aliens are smart like we are, their technology might send signals into the cosmos. On Earth, for example, all of the radio waves from our phones, satellites and TV station communications "leak" into space, and these leaking radio waves could be picked up if anyone were listening. So Earthlings use telescopes designed to pick up radio waves from space, hoping to find extraterrestrial signals.
That only works for tech-savvy aliens, though. Scientists also use light to look at the kinds of molecules that are present on far-off planets and moons. On Earth, some molecules are usually or always made by living things, so if those molecules are found elsewhere, they could be a sign of life. This kind of research lets scientists look for hints of life on exoplanets that are too far away to reach with a spacecraft.
Scientists also send spacecraft to the nearby places where life might exist. The Mars rovers, for example, collect rock samples that could contain evidence of fossilized ancient Martian microbes. (They haven't found any yet, but you never know!) NASA is planning to send a drone with propellers, called Dragonfly, to Saturn's moon Titan in 2028. Dragonfly would reach Titan by 2034 and search for chemicals tied to life. The European Space Agency would like to send a mission to Enceladus, also to search for signs of past or present life.

Are UFOs aliens?
Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are things in the sky that aren't explained. The first modern UFO sighting goes back to 1947, when a U.S. fighter pilot reported seeing flying saucers in Washington. Not every UFO sighting can be explained, but many turn out to be events with an Earthly origin. For example, the famous "UFO crash" from Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 was actually debris from an experimental military balloon that was supposed to pick up sound waves from atomic bomb tests in the Soviet Union.
More recently, strange videos have shown seemingly quick-moving, hovering objects. These "unidentified aerial phenomena" (UAPs) don't have an official explanation. However, they could be normal objects that seem to be moving quickly due to optical illusions, or things that aren't what they appear to be. The pilot who took the videos might have been seeing drones, weather balloons or even birds.
Any alien civilization with the kind of technology to build spacecraft has to be an enormous distance away, given that the closest exoplanet that has the right conditions for life is Proxima Centauri B, which is 24 trillion miles away. Proxima Centauri B isn't very close, and it might not have an atmosphere. So it might not have life at all, much less life that could travel to us. And we would need some seriously advanced way to get there: With current Earth technology, it would take 6,300 years for a spacecraft to travel from Earth to Proxima Centauri B.
In other words, no, UFOs probably aren't aliens. An alien civilization could send a spacecraft to our planet, but it would mean the aliens who sent it in the first place — and their kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, great-great-grandkids and so on — would probably be long dead before the craft reached us. So it's a lot more likely that UFO sightings are cases of mistaken identity.

Exclusive: Doctor describes face-to-face contact with live alien - NewsNation
Exclusive: Doctor describes face-to-face contact with live alien - NewsNation
NewsNation published an exclusive interview on Thursday in which a medical professional claims to have had a direct, face‑to‑face encounter with a living extraterrestrial entity. The doctor, who asked to remain anonymous for safety reasons, described the meeting as occurring during a routine night shift at a rural hospital in the Midwest. According to the interview, the being entered the emergency department through an unseen opening, stood approximately five feet tall, and communicated through a series of gestures and low‑frequency sounds that the doctor interpreted as an attempt at peaceful interaction. The physician said the encounter lasted roughly three minutes before the entity vanished without a trace.
In the interview, the doctor recounted that the alien’s appearance was “humanoid in silhouette but unlike any human anatomy I have ever seen.” The being’s skin was described as a smooth, iridescent gray, and its eyes were large, almond‑shaped, and appeared to emit a faint, pulsing light. The physician noted that the creature did not display any overt aggression; instead, it seemed to be observing the surrounding medical equipment before moving toward a vacant stretch of floor, where it halted and raised a hand in what the doctor interpreted as a sign of farewell. “I felt an overwhelming sense of calm, as if the presence was trying to reassure me that it meant no harm,” the doctor said, adding that no physical evidence—such as footprints or residue—remained after the encounter.
The doctor’s credentials, verified through the state medical board, include board certification in emergency medicine and a ten‑year tenure at the hospital in question. The physician has not previously spoken publicly about UFO or UAP phenomena, and the interview marks the first time they have disclosed the experience. NewsNation contacted the hospital’s administration for comment; a spokesperson confirmed that the doctor works there but declined to discuss the alleged incident, citing patient privacy and ongoing internal review. The U.S. Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) Task Force was also notified, and a statement from the agency indicated that the report would be logged and evaluated in line with standard procedures for civilian sightings.
Experts in aerospace and scientific skepticism have urged caution. Dr. Laura Chen, a senior researcher at the SETI Institute, said, “Extraordinary claims demand extraordinary evidence. A single anecdotal account, even from a reputable professional, must be corroborated by physical data or independent witnesses before it can be considered credible.” Former Pentagon UAP program director Luis Elizondo echoed this sentiment, noting that “the most compelling cases we have seen involve radar returns, multiple sensor recordings, or corroborated visual accounts. A solitary visual encounter, without supporting instrumentation, remains difficult to verify.” Conversely, some ufologists view the testimony as a potential breakthrough, pointing to the growing number of credible witnesses—pilots, astronauts, and now a physician—who report close‑range observations.
The interview arrives amid heightened public and governmental interest in unidentified aerial phenomena. In recent months, the Department of Defense released additional declassified videos, and Congress approved a $250 million budget for a permanent UAP investigative office. Public opinion polls show that roughly two‑thirds of Americans now believe that some UAP sightings may involve technology beyond current human capabilities. Whether the doctor’s account will add substantive weight to the ongoing debate depends on the outcome of the pending investigation and any physical evidence that might surface. For now, the story underscores the challenge of moving UFO discourse from anecdote to empirical inquiry, a transition that researchers say is essential for any scientific assessment of potential extraterrestrial contact.
The Need for Blood: Shapeshifters, Aliens, and “Real-Life” Vampires!
The chances are that when most of us think of bloodlust or a desire for blood, particularly human blood, we might think about deranged serial killers with uncontrollable urges. However, in the world of the paranormal, whether it is strange, otherworldly entities, UFOs and aliens, or indeed people who assert their belief that they are, for all intents and purposes, vampires, we find this urge for blood more than many of might like to imagine. Moreover, much of this apparent bloodlust has connections to ultra-secret societies that seemingly operate hidden in plain sight, with members of these cults seemingly coming from the super-rich and the elites of the world.
Perhaps the best place to start with all of this is with vampires and vampirism. Indeed, while the modern world is perhaps most familiar with such concepts through the Bram Stoker novel Dracula, the fact is that cases of people having an insatiable appetite for human blood go back centuries, with Stoker himself even basing his main character on a real-life historic person, Vlad Tepes, perhaps better known as Vlad the Impaler. Born in 1428 near the Danube River in what is modern-day Romania, Vlad was the ruler of Wallachia in the Carpathian Mountains, Transylvania, on three separate occasions between 1448 and 1477, and was known for his appetite for blood. Vlad’s father was the Prince of Wallachia and moved within the elite circles of the time, being a member of a secret society known as the Order of the Dragon. It was from this connection to the Order of the Dragon that he became known as Vlad Dracul – or Vlad the Dragon. It is easy to see where the moniker Dracula came from.
Here, it is very much worth our time exploring the Order of the Dragon a little more, particularly how they operated, at least outwardly, in the same manner as the Knights Templar; officially providing a Holy Army for the church, primarily against the forces of the Sultan of Turkey. It is also worth noting that when the Knights Templar were dissolved by King Phillip IV of France over a century earlier in 1307, those Templar Knights who managed to escape fled to various destinations across Europe before blending in with their respective local populations. Could it be that at least some Knights Templar made it to modern-day Romania and continued their practices within such societies as the Order of the Dragon?
With this in mind, it is also worth highlighting the suggestion from some researchers that the Knights Templar came about from the eventual regrouping of members of the mystery schools of ancient Egypt, meaning that such teachings stretch back thousands of years. Indeed, from an esoteric point of view, the Order of the Dragon means the Order of the Dragon means the Order of Knowledge or Wisdom, and, going back to Bram Stoker’s novel, Dracula, it is further interesting to note that many esoteric messages are said to be contained within its pages.
If we return to Vlad the Impaler, following years of unrest and political assassinations, including that of his father, Vlad had assumed full control of his territory by 1456, and his reputation for torture was, by this point, well known. And it was his solidification of this power that furthered his brutal reputation. Although Vlad was the ruler of Wallachia, the real power still lay with the region’s noblemen, or boyars, some of whom were behind the assassination of Vlad’s father. Almost immediately after taking the throne, Vlad summoned these boyars – 500 men in total – to his castle in Târgoviște. He had them gather in the main hall, and almost immediately, his guards appeared. What followed was the systematic execution of all of them, who were led out to the courtyard one by one, and then impaled on a large wooden stake. The bodies were left there for all to see, with some of these unfortunate noblemen taking days to die. Vlad had issued a brutal warning to anyone who dared to challenge his rule.
It is thought that Vlad murdered thousands of people in this manner. However, it is the accounts of his actions during these executions that are most disturbing, and from where the legends of his very real bloodthirst stem. It is said that as people were being impaled, Vlad would pull up a table in the middle of the killing grounds and partake in a huge feast, taking chunks of bread and dipping them in the blood of his victims. It is, though, the often-ritualistic nature of these bloody feasts that is perhaps most disturbing. According to reports, Vlad would have his victims impaled in a large circle, with him sitting in the middle of them, feasting on fine foods and consuming his victims’ blood. Indeed, all of these details suggest some kind of ritualistic human sacrifice, including the drinking of human blood. Could it be that these rituals also stretch back thousands of years?
It is also worth noting the location – close to the Black Sea and the Carpathian Mountains – that was a prime route for those fleeing Asia for Europe, many of whom would go on to become the nobility and even monarchs of Europe.
Whatever the truth, it was around this time that Vlad became known as Draculea or Draculya, which eventually morphed into Dracula, which translates as Dragon’s Son or Devil’s Son. Clearly, we can see, then, that Stoker based his Dracula character on Vlad the Impaler, but if we return to the idea that Stoker also inserted many esoteric meanings and messages into his work of fiction, we can find some intriguing details. Such researchers point to the fact that Dracula is called Count Dracula in the novel, are, according to some, suggests that Stoker was revealing to the wider world that such activities were taking place within the circles of the elite throughout Europe. Moreover, Dracula’s ability to shapeshift and take control of a person’s thoughts is also highlighted, as is his need for human blood to maintain such powers (the ritual sacrifices we mentioned earlier). Perhaps of most interest, though, is Stoker’s close relationship with J.W. Brodis-Inis, who was an influential figure in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, whose rituals were said to date back to those same mystery schools of ancient Egypt we explored previously. It is further interesting to note that many members of this order were also Freemasons, who themselves have tentative connections to the Knights Templar, who fled from France in the early 1300s. Was Stoker trying to inform the wider world of these secret societies, and the bloodthirsty rituals and practices that took place within them?
While Bram Stoker might have informed the wider world of vampirism and its origins in 1400s Europe, some researchers insist that this practice stretches back much further, perhaps to the beginnings of human civilization. One such researcher is the controversial figure, David Icke, who draws comparisons between legends of vampires and reptilian entities, who, he claims, require human blood to maintain their human form. These reptilians, according to Icke, are often referred to as the Anunnaki, who have ruled over humanity since the dawn of time and have continued to do so from ancient Egypt and Babylon, to the ruling houses of Europe, right into the political leaders of the modern world.
While it might be easy to dismiss such considerations as nothing but nonsense, there are very definite connections between the rulers of antiquity and those who have control in the modern world. Moreover, at least according to some researchers, these reptilian entities arrived on Earth from the Draco star system. Of course, once more, we have a connection between the world of Draco and Dracula. One more thing to mention here, especially given Icke’s assertions that many of the royal families of Europe, including the British royal family, is that Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth’s mother, is a descendant of Vlad the Impaler. While we should perhaps treat this with a pinch of salt, you can make of that assertion what you will.
Whatever the truth about vampires and reptilians and their apparent need for human blood, it is worth keeping in mind that many ancient cultures practiced such blood rituals. We might ask just where they obtained such a belief system; perhaps from the “gods”, who some people believe were the Anunnaki, or reptilians from the Draco star system.
While legends of shapeshifters consuming human blood to maintain human form are dismissed by many, and perhaps rightly so, now would be a good time to explore unsettling claims of our modern world – reports of the “super rich” using blood, or blood plasma, of the young to “maintain eternal youth”. We should be clear that whole these procedures simply halt or slow aging, and are very much in experimental stages, there has been great interest in such studies from those who can afford to pay for them. Ultimately, we might imagine that should such procedures become more widely available, those with the money to pay for them almost certainly will do. And of course, while we should be cautious with such claims, there have been several conspiracies over the years of “private” youth-maintaining procedures taking place behind closed doors.
We might imagine, then, that if such procedures around using human blood to maintain youth are breaking into the modern public arena, we might find examples of this secret knowledge in the past. And, while once more, we should treat such claims with extreme caution and a large helping of salt, there are several intriguing characters that we should examine here.
Perhaps a good person to start with here would be the Count of St. Germain, who, according to some reports, lived from the mid-eighteenth century to the opening decades of the 1900s. Moreover, as if providing tentative proof of this prolonged existence, the Count appeared to have been present at several historical events. As we might imagine, there have been several suggestions put forward to explain this prolonged existence, ranging from him being a time traveler to that he had discovered the secret of eternal youth. Of most interest to us here, though, is the suggestion that the Count of St. Germain was, for all intents and purposes, a vampire. What makes these suggestions even more interesting is that, according to some researchers, the Count was a descendant of a prince from Transylvania – the same Transylvania that was home to Vlad the Impaler, and one of the locations in the previously mentioned Bram Stoker novel, Dracula.
Whatever the truth, the first mention of the Count of St. Germain in the official record is in the early 1740s in London, where he was a socialite of sorts among the city’s elite of the times, one of whom was the (then) British Prime Minister, Robert Walpole’s son, Harold Walpole. In a letter that Walpole had written, he described the Count as being “a little odd”, and possibly even “mad”. Ultimately, he was suggesting that the Count was eccentric, and he elaborated that he was an extremely talented violin player who could compose remarkably intricate pieces of music. It was likely these high society connections, coupled with his eccentric behavior, that led to his arrest on charges of being a spy. Although he was quickly released and the charges dismissed, the incident seemingly unsettled the Count so much that he left London almost immediately afterward and headed for mainland Europe, eventually settling in Paris.
Once more, he circled in the upper classes of Paris society, even striking up a friendship with King Louis XV. It was during his time as a guest of Louis XV that the Count began working on several experiments in a laboratory in Louis XV’s residence, including developing a substance that could dye any material, any color that was desired, something which brought considerable wealth and opportunity to the region. Perhaps of more interest, and keeping in mind the brief charge of being a spy while he was in London, there were several rumors that the Count embarked on several “secret missions” on behalf of Louis XV, missions which remain a complete mystery to this day.
Despite these alleged secret missions and experiments, the Count of St. Germain was often seen in various drinking establishments of the city, and, because he was fluent in several languages, he was often seen conversing with anyone who took an interest in him. Of most interest, on several occasions, if the Count took a liking to a person, he was said to place a considerable “handful of diamonds” in their hand. While some saw this as an act of generosity, others claimed that he could change bog-standard rocks into valuable stones and materials – essentially, he was a master of alchemy. Perhaps because of this suspicion that he was a masterful alchemist, rumors began to spread that the Count was much older than he suggested, and not just by a few years, but by several centuries, with some suggesting that he had been alive and present at the Council of Nicaea in the year 325.
It was around the same time that these rumors were circulating that the Count left Paris. His exact movements remain unclear, but it seems that he traveled from France to Russia, with further rumors suggesting that he became a close friend and advisor to Catherine the Great, assisting in her seizing control of the country. What is known for certain is that he eventually surfaced in Germany, where he, once more, inserted himself into the upper echelons of German society, even striking up a friendship with Prince Charles of Hesse-Cassel. In a remarkably similar scenario to that in Paris under Louis XV, Prince Charles provided the Count with a laboratory where he could conduct experiments and develop his ideas in private.
Officially, the Count passed away in 1784. However, sightings and encounters with him continued all over Europe right into the nineteenth century, with some sightings occurring as far away as New Orleans, Louisiana, in the New World of the United States (something we will return to shortly). It is also worth mentioning that in 1972, a gentleman spoke on a French television program claiming to be none other than the Count of St. Germain. As we might imagine, these claims were not taken seriously, but they could prove to be those of an individual who, through such bizarre claims, had managed to stay hidden in plain sight for hundreds of years.
At this point, it is worth our time returning to New Orleans in the early 1900s, and another intriguing character by the name of Jacque St. Germain. Much like the Count of St. Germain, Jacque St. Germain seemingly appeared out of nowhere and quickly began frequenting the social circles of the city’s elite. Moreover, Jacques St. Germain was known for his eccentric personality, often throwing lavish parties at his home. It was at these parties that he would speak of historical events, as if he had witnessed them firsthand, offering extreme detail and intricacies as he told these fascinating tales.
Interestingly, Jacques St. Germain claimed that he was a descendant of the Count of St. Germain, but some people, in part because of the tales he told and in part because of his physical resemblance to the Count, believed that Jacques St. Germain and the Count of St. Germain were the same person. In fact, not only did he appear similar to the Count, Jacques was practically identical to him, including, of course, his eccentric personality. Not long after this, rumors about Jacques St. Germain began to spread around New Orleans.
Perhaps one of the most interesting of these was that many people had noticed that Jacques rarely, if ever, ate any food or consumed any drinks at his lavish parties. Despite this, he never appeared unwell and never appeared to age. To some, this was proof that not only was Jacques St. Germain the Count of St. Germain, but that he was a vampire. Then, an incident unfolded that seemingly confirmed this, at least to the residents of New Orleans.
One evening, following one of his famous parties, the police were called to attend his property following reports that a woman had fallen from a balcony at the property. The identity of the woman remains unknown, but according to reports at the time, she was a local prostitute. Of most concern, though, when police spoke to witnesses at the party, they learned that the woman had not simply fallen from the balcony, but she had jumped of her own accord. What’s more, she had done so in a state of absolute terror.
Eventually, the woman regained consciousness, and she told police eventually caused shockwaves to spread throughout New Orleans. She claimed that Jacques St. Germain had not only attacked her, but that he had bitten her neck in an attempt to drink her blood. It was this act, she said, that had caused her to fling herself from the balcony to escape St. Germain. The woman was eventually taken to hospital where it was determined that she must have imagined the entire ordeal due to excessive alcohol consumption. Despite these troubling events, the police declined to arrest Jacques St. Germain. They told him instead to attend the police station the following day so that he could give a statement as to what had happened. The following day, when Jacques failed to show up at the police station, the police attended his property once more. Perhaps not surprisingly, when they arrived, they discovered that St. Germain had seemingly vacated the property during the night. As well as his disappearance, police were perplexed that he had left all of his belongings. However, after they conducted a full search of the property, police made further unsettling discoveries, the most disturbing being several bottles of red wine in one of the abandoned rooms. All of the bottles were open but still full. When the contents were analyzed, though, they were found to contain a mixture of red wine and human blood.
The gentleman who appeared on the French television show aside, Jacques St. Germain, or indeed the Count of St. Germain, was never heard from or seen again. There are, though, many questions that remain, not least if Jacques St. Germain and the Count of St. Germain were the same person. What happened to St. Germain following the incident at his New Orleans home? Did he manage to find a new residence where he blended in without notice? And if that was the case, how did he manage to fund his existence, given that he had left all of his wealth in Louisiana? Moreover, was the account given by the woman who jumped from his balcony true? We might ask, if it wasn’t, then why did Jacques vacate the city under the cover of darkness? Given that the police didn’t even question him following the incident, we might imagine that his high social standing would have protected him against any possible charges. With these questions in mind, we might consider that St. Germain did indeed have a dark secret to protect. Perhaps the biggest question of all, though, is was Jacques St. Germain was what we would collectively understand to be a vampire?
As interesting as the details of St. Germain are, there are other historical figures who have been surrounded in such controversy.
Arguably one of the most interesting of these, as well as one of the most harrowing, is the questionable activities of Countess Elizabeth Bathory of Hungary, who was not only known for her cruel behavior to those who worked for her, but also had an appetite for human blood. In fact, this blood lust, according to many rumors that circulated at the time, resulted in her murdering over 650 young women. Even more harrowing, it is said that she would then bathe in the blood of her victims as she believed not only would it maintain her youth, but also bestow other powers upon her.
Whatever the truth of such rumors, following the death of a young noblewoman – that Bathory had seemingly made appear like a suicide – the authorities eventually questioned the Countess, and when they did, the true nature of her behavior was revealed. She was eventually charged with 80 murders; however, he died before she could be put on trial while under house arrest.
While it might be tempting to think that individuals or secret societies were taking part in blood rituals only in the past, there are many accounts of such activity in the modern age. One of the most thought-provoking of these comes to us from the research of Nick Redfern about a cult that originated in Puerto Rico. It was while Redfern was in Puerto Rico in May 2007 that he learned of this disturbing group and their equally disturbing activities.
Redfern claimed that he was in a bar one evening when a local restaurant worker named Sal spoke with him about an ultra-secret group made of various members of the world’s elite. This group, Sal claimed, practiced rituals involving blood sacrifices of various animals, including chicken, goats, and peacocks. This group seemingly began operating at some point in the mid-1990s, and counted politicians, famous actors and musicians, and even members of various royal families among its members.
These rituals, Sal offered, usually took place in various locations, ranging from rich, spacious mansions to the middle of the rain forest, and would involve the sacrificing of animals, whose blood was then drained into a vessel as an offering to ancient gods. Redfern also reports that these rituals also involved alcohol and drug-fueled orgies, similar to those depicted in the Stanley Kubrick movie Eyes Wide Shut.
What is further interesting about these claims, at least according to Redfern, is that the same animals used in these sacrifices are the same preferred kills of many of the alleged cryptid creatures of the region, specifically, the Chupacabra. Of further interest, reports of the Chupacabra began to become widespread around the same time as the alleged origins of this mysterious cult. Sal informed Redfern that while the group didn’t invent encounters with the Chupacabra, they wasted little time in using such reports to cover their own dark activities.
We should note, as Redfern advises, that the claims should be treated with caution, not least as Sal passed the information on to Redfern after he had heard it from a third person. Moreover, although Redfern questioned Sal for more information, he was unable, or perhaps unwilling, to provide the researcher with any further information.
It is interesting to note, however, as Redfern highlights, the connections between Sal’s account and the religious practice of Santeria, which is practiced not only in Puerto Rico but around the entire Caribbean region. To quote Redfern, he writes:
“While those that adhere to the teachings of Santeria believe in the existence of one, overall god, they also believe there are numerous other sub-gods too, which are collectively known as Orishas.”
Those who practice this religion are known as Santeros, and many of their rituals are geared towards the appeasement of these ancient deities, as well as for reasons such as health or personal desire, with ritual blood sacrifices of animals being a major factor. Redfern writes about this, stating:
“A Santero would rub the skin of a paying client with the body of the animal that was to be imminently sacrificed. Doing so, the followers of Santeria believed, transferred whatever ailed the person – or whatever they desire – into the body of the animal. The sacrificing of the animal was an act designed to ensure the wish reaches the Orishas, who granted them whatever it was that the person in question required. Sometimes, the corpse of the animal was destroyed; on other occasions it was eaten. As for the blood, it was served in a large vessel that is then offered to the gods.”
While this is pure speculation, we might ask if a discreet group of the super-rich – essentially, the elite – also use these sacrifices, perhaps under the cover of such ancient practices as Santeria, and perhaps using not only animals but human blood sacrifices, to maintain and even increase their personal wealth and influence.
It is also worth our time here looking at another alleged secret society of the world’s elites, also documented by Redfern, based on information given to him by a man named Rob Lea in the summer of 2000. Lea claimed that he had proof of this dark cult, based in England, which had been operating discreetly since the late 1980s.
According to what Lea told Redfern, one morning in the summer of 1989, Lea’s father discovered the butchered remains of five of his sheep on the farm he owned. It appeared that these unfortunate animals had been attacked during the night. However, rather than some beastly onslaught, it appeared as though they had been killed in a methodical, calculated way, almost by something or someone who had knowledge and intelligence in such actions. The throat had been perfectly and precisely slit on each of the sheep, with their carcasses purposely arranged in a circle. Moreover, in the middle of this circle were the purposely arranged internal organs of the sheep.
Rob’s father suspected the sheep had been killed as part of a Satanic ritual and immediately reported his concerns to the police. However, when the police arrived at the property, the account took another strange and ominous twist. Not only could the officers find no clues as to who might be behind the disturbing activities, but they also appeared to discreetly warn and discourage Rob’s father from taking the matter further, specifically warning him about speaking to the media about it. Although there were no more such discoveries on the farm, as Rob grew older, he began to carry out his own research into the incident, as well as ritual sacrifices, in general. Eventually, he uncovered an ultra-secret group known as the Cult of the Moon Beast.
According to what Rob told Redfern, this group was comprised of several individuals who came from various locations in the United Kingdom. All of them were hugely influential in their specific field or walk of life. This group used “ancient rites” to carry out various rituals and ceremonies, which involved animal sacrifices that would summon up otherworldly entities, who would then use their power to assist the group in their dark desires, which, according to Lea, even involved the deaths of rivals of the group. Even more remarkable, Lea claimed that after following the group for several years, he managed to secretly view no less than three of these rituals, claiming that these ominous entities came from a “realm or dimension that co-existed with ours”, and were a “non-physical intelligence” that would “take on the appearance of what was in the mind’s eye”. Further still, these entities didn’t use physical methods to kill their targets, instead using “mind power, fright, and suggestion”. Ultimately, they scared their victims to death. Darker still, according to Lea, this group also “hired out” these otherworldly entities to other members of the world’s elites for their own ends, which perhaps tells us just how influential this group actually was, or is.
Of course, many people will dismiss such claims as nothing but bizarre nonsense. However, it is worth noting that many other researchers have made similar claims. And while we should still treat such claims with caution, it is interesting to note the number of political figures and industry leaders who suddenly take their own lives or die of a sudden heart attack despite being seemingly perfectly healthy. Moreover, Redfern made other discoveries about strange goings on connected to dark cults, with specific connections to peacocks, as per the sacrifices in Puerto Rico that we mentioned earlier.
While Redfern was in Puerto Rico in 2004 investigating several Chupacabra reports, he spoke with a wealthy landowner who believed that his peacocks, despite there being a wealth of other animals on his land, had been seemingly singled out and targeted by the beast.
Redfern made similar discoveries regarding the apparent targeting of peacocks while investigating a similar cult in the United Kingdom in 2006. Redfern had traveled to Chartley Castle to investigate a crop circle that had appeared in a nearby field. Of most interest to us here, though, was the presence of peacock feathers in the center of this circle. Further peacock feathers were also discovered along the road that ran next to the field. When Redfern spoke with a Wiccan named Jane Adams, he was told that the presence of peacock feathers in this manner suggested that a dark ritual had been performed, suggesting that a mysterious and powerful cult was behind such rituals. She didn’t reveal any precise details of the group or the names of those involved. She did, though, state that they were a “group of occultists that had tentacles stretching all across the United Kingdom”. She also stated, whether of consequence or not, that the purpose of these rituals was to “conjure up” such supernatural creatures as “alien big cats” or “phantom black dogs”, reports of which, incidentally, are rife in the area.
One more account to mention regarding Redfern’s research is an incident that unfolded on the morning of June 28th, 2007, in Staten Island, New York. On the morning in question, employees and customers at a local Burger King restaurant were surprised by the sudden appearance of a peacock outside the restaurant doors. To begin with, the scene was one of interest and joy, with many customers breaking off bits of food to feed the friendly bird. However, the scene quickly turned nasty when a young man arrived and attacked the bird, eventually killing it. It was later discovered that the man in question suffered from schizophrenia and had neglected to take his medication. However, whether of consequence or not, and of particular interest to us here, the man claimed that the peacock was a “vampire” who assumed the form of a peacock to surprise attack its unsuspecting victims. Of course, once more, we should treat such claims with caution, but they are certainly worth keeping on the mental back burner considering all that we have explored here.
Of course, it was Redfern’s investigations into the Chupacabra sightings that, in part, put him on the trail of such secret societies carrying out such dark rituals, and he discovered more revelations after speaking to another woman in Puerto Rico in the late 2000s named Julia. She claimed that the increase in reports and the legends of the Chupacabra was down to a “secret society”, which her ex-husband had been involved with. In fact, it was his involvement in this group that had led Julia to divorce him. She claimed he had become involved with the group at some point in 1999, around a year before she had met him. She claimed that he had informed her that the power, wealth, and influence he and other members of the group enjoyed were down to “supernatural pacts between the group and the paranormal denizens of realms beyond ours”. Moreover, this pact involved rituals with human blood, with one specific ritual he attended at the lavish mansion of a “powerful Puerto Rican drug baron”, who himself firmly believed his wealth and apparent protection from prosecution were down to these dark rituals.
Julia continued that she had carried out her own research into the group’s activities, claiming she had managed to speak with three separate individuals who had been handsomely paid by the mysterious group for supplies of their blood. According to Julia, each of the people in question had been taken to an unknown location somewhere in the El Yunque rainforest, where a doctor, who himself had been well-paid by the group, extracted the required amount of blood from them before they were returned home.
It was from one of these individuals’ blood that was used in the ceremony at the drug baron’s mansion that her ex-husband informed her about. She claimed that this ritual involved dozens of people from all walks of life, all of whom were extremely influential. Each was “dressed in cloaks,” and all were extremely focused on the task at hand: to manifest a Chupacabra.
Julia claimed that a short time after the start of the ceremony, the light in the mansion began to flicker, and the room filled with a strong aroma of sulfur. Moreover, the air in the room began to “shimmer” before a Chupacabra creature began to form right in front of them right out of thin air. Then, things turned even stranger.
Julia continued that this strange creature was “semi-transparent” – it was “more spectral than it was physical”. However, several moments later, it stepped into a bowl full of human blood that had been placed in front of it. As soon as it did so, it began to become less transparent and quickly fully physical. According to what Julia’s ex-husband told her, it was the human blood that gave it a physical existence in our realm as opposed to the “ethereal” one from its own realm. Then, with many of those in the room still coming to terms with what they were seeing, a blinding “bright blue flash” appeared, and the Chupacabra vanished.
While it isn’t clear what the purpose of this manifestation of the Chupacabra was and how it served those behind the ritual, it is interesting to note the notion that human blood was required to make the creature physical, and perhaps explains the Chupacabra’s need for blood on its travels across the American continents.
Of course, the Chupacabra has long been associated with UFOs and alien entities, and there are several accounts of such that have direct connections to the need for blood (we have already touched on, for example, on alleged reptilian extraterrestrial entities requiring human blood to maintain their human form). Arguably, one of the most fascinating of these accounts can be found in The Mothman Prophecies by John Keel.
According to the report, on the evening of March 5th, 1967, 21-year-old Beau Shertzer, along with a young nurse and colleague, was transporting blood supplies and samples to the Red Cross Headquarters in Huntingdon, West Virginia. It was while they were on Route 2 between Huntingdon and Point Pleasant that their journey took a bizarre and disturbing turn. Out of nowhere, they noticed a “large white glow” that appeared in a flash over the trees that lined the roadside. When they realized this strange glow was heading in their direction, Beau pressed down hard on the gas in an effort to outrun it. However, only seconds later, this ominous, glowing object was directly over their vehicle.
With the vehicle still in motion, Beau wound down the window and attempted to look outside to see what was happening. Out of the light from the object, he could see a “mechanical-looking arm or extension” stretching towards the moving blood bank. Then, he heard the nurse he was riding with let out a horrified scream. He turned in her direction and saw another mechanical arm stretching down past the passenger side window. It appeared to Beau that this object was attempting to “grab” their vehicle, perhaps to carry it off.
Just as Beau was about to submit to their apparent fate, the headlights of an oncoming vehicle came into view. As soon as they did so, the mechanical arms retracted and the glowing object rose into the air and disappeared. Beau continued to his destination, although both he and the young nurse were on the verge of absolute terror for the remainder of the journey. The pair reported the incident to the local police, but there was little they could do, or were willing to do, to investigate it. Similarly, despite the bizarre nature of the events, there was hardly any media coverage of the incident, aside from a brief mention on a local radio station. Keel wrote of the incident:
“In cases like this, we have to ask: Did the UFO really intend to carry off the Bloodmobile? Or was it all a sham to “prove” the UFOs interest in blood. Later I tried to check to find out if any Bloodmobiles had actually vanished anywhere. The Red Cross thought I was a bit nuts. But I often find myself seriously wondering if we only hear about the people who get away!”
Indeed, we might ask just how many other UFO, alien, or supernatural entity encounters and their apparent blood lust go unreported, either because of the unwillingness of the witness to speak about such bizarre matters, or, as Keel states, because the people involved didn’t “get away”.
Beau, incidentally, passed away on October 22nd, 2015, at the age of 71. As well as having a long and respected career in the medical field, he also served in the Vietnam War, earning a Bronze Star for heroism. In short, he was a very credible witness who was unlikely to have concocted such a story.
Beau’s encounter with apparent bloodthirsty UFOs is far from the only one on record, however, with one of the most horrific incidents unfolding several years earlier in March 1956. On the day in question, United States Air Force Sergeant Jonathan Lovette and Major William Cunningham were searching for rocket debris on the White Sands missile testing grounds near Holloman Air Force Base following a recent rocket test. Lovette had gone to inspect over the edge of a dune. Moments later, Cunningham hears his colleague let out a terrified scream. He immediately ran to the top of the dune to check on Lovette. However, what he saw was something he simply wasn’t prepared for.
There, hovering a short distance from the ground, was a silver disc-shaped object approximately 20 feet ahead of him. Coming out of this disc was a huge tentacle-like appendage that was wrapped around Lovette’s leg, who was still screaming and calling out in terror. It was clear that Lovette was being dragged inside the object, and moments later, he disappeared inside the object before the craft shot straight up into the sky and disappeared.
Cunningham immediately ran back to the military jeep and radioed back to the main base about what had happened and requested assistance. Shortly after, Cunningham was transferred to the military hospital, where he was placed under observation. He was questioned several times, and each time he told the same account. Interestingly or not, at least according to some reports, an unidentified object had appeared on the base’s radar at the same time Cunningham claimed the incident happened.
A search of the entire area was carried out, with Lovette’s naked corpse finally being discovered three days later, around 10 miles from where he had vanished. When the autopsy was carried out, though, rather than providing the military with answers, it simply raised more questions. His body, for example, had been completely mutilated, although not in a manner that suggested a beastly attack. His tongue, for example, had been precisely sliced off, while his lower jaw had equally as precisely been cut away. Both of his eyes had also been skillfully removed, but the most disturbing discovery was the fact that every drop of blood had seemingly been drained from his body. Moreover, there were no signs of vascular collapse, which would have happened if Lovette had bled to death.
Despite being initially suspected of Lovette’s murder, in part because of these strange finds, Cunningham was released from the hospital without charge.
One last thing to mention regarding this case is that it was pieced together from accounts given by researcher William Cooper and a former Green Beret captain, William English, both of whom learned of the encounter from an apparent report from Project Grudge – Report 13. Cooper claimed that he was asked to investigate an annotated version of this report in the early 1970s. English, meanwhile, claimed he came across the report while he was assigned to a United States security service based at a Royal Air Force base in Chicksands, England. Both men, each without knowing the other, gave the same details. Moreover, officially at least, Report 13 doesn’t exist, with all of the other reports from Project Grudge (Reports 1 to 12, and Report 14) having since been declassified. Report 13, however, is simply not mentioned. We might ask just why this is.
Perhaps a good place to end our exploration of the need for blood and strange, potentially otherworldly entities is with just some of the cases of “real-life” vampires from the modern world. Before we continue, we should stress that most medical and psychological expertise will tell us that many of these people almost certainly suffered from mental imbalance or illness that resulted in their desire for human blood, without wanting to trivialize such cases, we might ask whether these urges stemmed from their own respective psyche or whether they were influenced by outside, otherworldly forces or entities.
Joshua Rudiger, for example, embarked on a vampiric killing spree throughout the 1990s in California. When he was eventually arrested in 1998, he stated that he was a “2000-year-old vampire” who required human blood for “vitality”. These statements led to him being given the moniker The Vampire Slasher by various media outlets. Ultimately, he was sentenced to over 20 years in jail for his crimes. Of course, whether Rudiger was an actual vampire or whether he used such assertions to distance himself from his horrific crimes remains open to debate to some (although, once more, we should stress, it is almost certainly the latter).
The following year, in Oklahoma, Sean Seller was executed for the 1986 murders of his parents and a store clerk. During his trial, he claimed that he had been possessed by an evil demon with a desire for human blood, even offering its name – Ezurate. He regularly drank human blood, often slashing himself or his friends to do so.
Arguably, one of the most harrowing cases of modern-day real-life vampires unfolded between December 1977 and January 1978 I Sacramento, California, when Richard Chase murdered six people to drink their blood, which led to him being dubbed The Vampire of Sacramento. Chase, it would come to light, had had an intense interest in vampires since he was a young child, specifically, drinking blood. From around the age of 10, he regularly killed animals to satisfy this urge, with details later emerging that Chase believed consuming blood would cure him of “paranoid thoughts” that had plagued him for as long as he could remember. He even went as far as to inject himself with blood, which, on one occasion, led to him being treated for blood poisoning after injecting rabbit’s blood. Following this, he was held in a secure facility for several months, during which time, staff regularly referred to him as Dracula. It was not long after his release from this facility that he began his blood-fueled killing spree when, on the evening of December 29th, 1977, he shot and killed 51-year-old Ambrose Griffin.
From there, Chase regularly prowled the streets of Sacramento looking for victims, later claiming that he would simply try doors of properties on the off-chance that they would be unlocked, stating to police after his arrest, similar to vampire law, that if he found doors to be locked, he took this as a sign that he was “not welcome” and he would walk away. Of course, in vampire folklore, a vampire has to be invited into a property before entering. So when Chase found properties that were unlocked, he took this as a sign that he was allowed to enter.
This was very much the case on the evening of January 23rd, 1978, when he discovered the door of Teresa Wallin’s home unlocked. He went inside and shot her before stabbing her multiple times with a butcher’s knife. Not only did Chase engage in necrophilia, but he also removed several of Wallin’s internal organs, as well as used a yoghurt pot to drink her blood.
Only four days later, on the evening of January 27th, he found the door of 38-year-old Evelyn Miroth unlocked. He entered the property, where, along with Evelyn, was her six-year-old son, Jason Miroth, her 22-month-old nephew, David Ferreria, as well as her friend, Dan Meredith. Chase shot all of them before mutilating Evelyn’s corpse, once more engaging in sexual activity with her corpse before removing her internal organs. Even more alarming, it appeared that Chase had been disturbed during this multiple murder episode by a neighbor, who quickly informed the police. Chase fled the scene, but he took David Ferreira’s corpse with him, which wasn’t discovered for several months; decapitated behind a church.
When police arrived at the Miroth home, they discovered several of Chase’s fingerprints in the bloodstains around the property, and he was arrested later that evening. Not long after, he was charged with six murders. Upon his arrest, investigators discovered a calendar in his home with the word “Today” written on several dates – all of which matched the dates of the murders he was charged with. This, of course, showed premeditation on his part, on which nights he planned to kill. Moreover, there were over 40 dates with the world “Today” written on them, meaning he had planned several months into the future. He was sentenced to death in the gas chamber, but took his own life after stockpiling his antianxiety pills before finally self-administering a fatal dose in his cell in December 1980.
One more case of modern-day real-life vampire murders unfolded over Thanksgiving weekend in 1996, in Murray, Kentucky, when 16-year-old Roderick Ferrell murdered his girlfriend’s father, Richard Wendorf, as well as his partner, Naoma. He bludgeoned the pair to death with a crowbar, the killings being the culmination of Ferrell’s long-held belief that he was a 500-year-old vampire named Vesago.
Following his arrest, it came to light that Ferrell was the leader of a Vampire Clan, through which he had first met his victim’s daughter, Heather Wendorf, when she joined the cult after running away from home. The group regularly met at an abandoned building they dubbed The Vampire Hotel, the words of which were scrawled on one of the walls inside. The group performed regular blood rituals in the building, including consuming each other’s blood. Although five people from the group were arrested in connection with the murders, investigations suggested that their number was around 30 members at the time of the killings.
Once more, whether Ferrell genuinely believed he was a 500-year-old vampire or not, or whether he used it as a way to distance himself from the crimes, remains open to debate. One thing that is worth mentioning, however, and something noted by investigators, was that Ferrell’s mother had a particularly strained relationship with her son, and she also had an intense interest in vampirism. Whether this contributed to Ferrell’s state of mind and murderous tendencies, however, remains open to question. He was, incidentally, initially sentenced to death for the murders, but his sentence was reduced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.
As we can see, then, the notion of vampires, blood sacrifice, and the appeasement or summoning up of otherworldly entities is more widespread than we might wish to admit. Moreover, these activities have taken place for thousands of years. Indeed, when we consider the claim of modern-day cults partaking in such blood rituals, we might contemplate whether these ancient practices have continued right into the modern age through various secret societies, mainly made up of the world elites. As preposterous as it might sound to many, could these ancient blood rituals really be the reason why the families in power and with great influence remain in such positions across generations? Of course, if there is any truth to any of this, if only in part, then it gives us a lot to think about and to come to terms with.
Wat we weten over de 'niet-menselijke' buitenaardse lichamen van Mexico Op 12 september 2023 presenteerde journalist en UFO-fan Jaime Maussan de stoffelijk overschotten van vermeende aliens voor de Mexicaanse autoriteiten. Zo'n congresgebeurtenis is ongekend en de wereld raakt er maar niet over uitgepraat. Maar wie zijn deze vermeende buitenaardse wezens? En hoe zijn ze in 2023 in Mexico terechtgekomen?
Klik door de volgende galerij van foto's en tekst om erachter te komen!
Wetgevers De lichamen werden aan de wetgevers van het land gepresenteerd tijdens de eerste openbare hoorzitting van het Mexicaanse Congres over dit onderwerp.
Hoe oud zijn ze? Koolstof-14 datering uitgevoerd door de Nationale Autonome Universiteit van Mexico schat de buitenaardse resten op 700 tot 1.800 jaar oud.
De eerste keer "Dit is de eerste keer dat het (buitenaards leven) in een dergelijke vorm wordt gepresenteerd en ik denk dat er een duidelijk bewijs is dat we te maken hebben met niet-menselijke exemplaren die niet verwant zijn aan andere soorten in onze wereld," vertelde Maussan voor het congres.
DNA-bewijs Jaime Maussan zei dat DNA-testen zouden bewijzen dat de lijken niet van onze planeet afkomstig waren, maar dergelijk bewijs werd niet geleverd.
Tests Bovendien vertelde José de Jesús Zalce Benitez, directeur van het Wetenschappelijk Instituut voor Gezondheid van de Mexicaanse marine, ook dat er röntgenfoto's en 3D-reconstructies waren gemaakt. Maar opnieuw werd er geen bewijs gepresenteerd.
Tests Het Nationaal Laboratorium voor Massaspectrometrie met Versnellers (LEMA) bracht een verklaring uit 2017 opnieuw uit waarin stond dat hun tests alleen bedoeld waren om de leeftijd van de monsters te bepalen, en dat ze dit deden aan de hand van monsters die door de klant waren aangeleverd en niet aan de hand van de monsters zelf.
Verklaring LEMA Het lab "distantieert zich van elk gebruik, interpretatie of latere verkeerde voorstelling van de resultaten die het levert", luidde de verklaring. "In geen enkel geval trekken we conclusies over de herkomst van deze monsters."
Niet de eerste Het blijkt dat dit niet de eerste keer is dat Jaime Maussan beweert 'niet-menselijke' overblijfselen te hebben ontdekt. In 2015 beweerde hij een gemummificeerde alien te hebben ontdekt in Nazca, Peru.
Veranderingen in de wet Tijdens de hoorzitting werd gedebatteerd over of de inhoud over UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) in de Aerial Space Protection Law moest worden aangepast. Als deze veranderingen worden goedgekeurd, wordt Mexico 'de eerste natie die formeel erkent dat er buitenaards leven op aarde bestaat'.
Amerikaanse inbreng Maussan werd vergezeld door Ryan Graves, de uitvoerend directeur van de organisatie Americans for Safe Aerospace. Graves is een voormalig piloot van de Amerikaanse marine die soortgelijke zorgen naar voren bracht in Washington.
Amerikaanse inbreng Graves vertelde Mexicaanse wetgevers: "Wij geloven dat UAP een dringende prioriteit vormen voor zowel de veiligheid van de luchtvaart als voor wetenschappelijk onderzoek," zei hij. "Onze focus ligt op het verbeteren van publieke voorlichting over UAP, het doorbreken van stigma's en het werken aan betere transparantie en openbaarmaking."
Een congreslid laat de deur open "We blijven achter met overpeinzingen, met zorgen en met de weg om hierover te blijven praten," aldus Congreslid Sergio Gutiérrez Luna.
Kritiek Maussans presentatie is door een aantal mensen in twijfel getrokken, waaronder een van Mexico's beste astrobiologen, Antígona Segura, die zei: "Deze conclusies worden simpelweg niet ondersteund door bewijs."
Kritiek De vermeende buitenaardse lichamen als bewijs werd ook bekritiseerd door Julieta Fierro, onderzoeker aan het Instituut voor Astronomie van de Nationale Autonome Universiteit van Mexico, die zei dat het "nergens op sloeg".
Kritiek "Maussan heeft vele wonderen beleefd Hij zegt dat hij met de Maagd van Guadalupe heeft gesproken", aldus Fierro. "Hij vertelde me dat buitenaardsen niet met mij praten zoals ze met hem praten, omdat ik er niet in geloof."
Het Roswell-incident Het Roswell-incident is misschien wel een van de beroemdste in de Amerikaanse ufologie. In 1947 beweerden twee mannen dat ze hadden gezien hoe Amerikaans legerpersoneel een buitenaards ruimteschip uit de woestijn haalde. Het Amerikaanse leger ontkent het incident tot op de dag van vandaag.
De waarneming door Jimmy Carter In 1973 rapporteerde de toenmalige gouverneur van Georgia dat hij een UFO had gezien, een feit dat pas bekend werd nadat Carter president van de Verenigde Staten was geworden.
De waarneming in Vancouver Op 20 februari 2011 meldden een aantal mensen in Vancouver, Canada, dat ze een object in de lucht zagen zweven dat licht uitstraalde. Beelden van de gebeurtenis werden bekeken en er werd geconcludeerd dat de UFO eigenlijk een vlieger was met LED-lampjes.
Het incident met kapitein William Schaffner Op 9 september 1970 vloog piloot William Schaffner van de Royal Air Force boven de Noordzee toen hij een vreemd object zag zweven. Een paar minuten later verloor hij de radiocommunicatie. Het vliegtuig werd later in zee gevonden, maar de kap van het vliegtuig was dicht en er was geen spoor van kapitein Schaffner.
De lichtjes van Lubbock Tussen augustus en september 1951 werden in Lubbock, Texas, verschillende ongewone lichtformaties waargenomen die in een V-patroon waren gerangschikt. De Amerikaanse luchtmacht stelde een onderzoek in en concludeerde dat de lichten waren veroorzaakt door een plevier (een kleine waadvogel).
De lichtjes van Rendlesham Forest Het Rendlesham Forest incident is een serie waarnemingen die plaatsvond in 1980 nadat een UFO vermoedelijk was geland in het Engelse Rendlesham Forest. Maar het Ministerie van Defensie beschouwde de gebeurtenis nooit als een bedreiging voor de nationale veiligheid, dus werd het nooit formeel onderzocht.

Yes, NASA Found Evidence of Ancient Life on Mars. Here's the Real Story
Yes, NASA Found Evidence of Ancient Life on Mars. Here's the Real Story
Learn why scientists are cautiously optimistic about the potential biosignatures found in the Sapphire Canyon rock sample.
Tyler Lacoma
It's not a little green man, but NASA's latest Mars discovery is still a ridiculously big deal.

Just last week, NASA's Perseverance rover dropped some major news from Mars that has everyone talking. A tiny rock sample, dramatically named "Sapphire Canyon," is showing tantalizing hints of what scientists call biosignatures. In plain English? Potential signs that ancient, alien life might have once existed on the Red Planet.
Perseverance snagged this promising sample from a rock in Jezero Crater, which happens to be a dried-up ancient riverbed. The fact that this area was once flush with water is a huge deal, since that's a key ingredient for life as we know it. While this isn't a smoking gun for little green men, it's a massive clue.
As one NASA scientist put it, finding proof of past life would seriously "increase the possibility that some form of life has survived" underground on Mars today -- a pretty wild thought to chew on.
Life on Mars?
So, does this finally confirm that life once existed on Mars? It's a very good start, and the most significant lead NASA has found so far. Dr. Rench was clear on this point. "This discovery significantly increases our chances of finding ancient signatures of life at Mars. It suggests the possibility of life on Mars several billion years ago. It does not provide any evidence for life on Mars today."
The data collected by Perseverance using its onboard instruments (X-ray lithochemistry and NASA's SHERLOC scanner) was peer-reviewed and appears promising, but it doesn't absolutely confirm life. More tests and input are needed for that, and the samples could have been generated from a natural chemical process without the presence of life. But scientists are excited about these signs and eager to learn more.
What kind of Mars life are we talking about? It's not the sort that comes in peace, or goes much of anywhere. The possible biosignatures indicate small, microbial life. Sapphire Canyon showed signs of vivianite and greigite. Vivianite, in particular, is found on Earth's peat bogs and swamps, while greigite is a byproduct some earth microbes leave behind. Think of this finding like a potential algae or swamp scum.
NASA is working on analyzing the data, running more tests and sharing the results with other scientists around the world to see what more they can learn. There's a lot to rule out, from accidental sample contamination to the likelihood of nonorganic origins. That's tough to do from millions of miles away, but NASA is on the case.
Americans tuned into a congressional UFO hearing today, where top scientists and Pentagon insiders claimed the US government has been hiding proof ofalienlife.
And while officials continue to deny encounters with mysterious aerial phenomena,a resurfaced CIA document suggests the government may have identified extraterrestrial beings decades ago.
In the 1970s and 80s, the CIA conducted experiments with individuals who claimed they could perceive information about distant objects, events, or people — a process known as 'remote viewing.'
One such report, titled 'Description of Personnel Associated 'ET' Bases,' detailed a session in which a remote viewer was given unknown targets and asked to describe what they perceived.
The document describes alleged alien bases located in Alaska, South America or Africa, and on Titan, Saturn's largest moon.
'So far have run into three types of entities associated with bases at various locations within the solar system,' the test subject wrote.
The remote viewer also reported seeing 'entities' at these sites. One was said to have 'a very large, rounded-shaped head' and 'very unhuman appearance,' while another was described as 'very pale' with a 'sharp nose.'
But the Titan base appeared to be staffed with human scientists, including 'an attractive female.'
A a resurfaced CIA document suggests the government may have identified extraterrestrial beings decades ago
A remote viewer identified two alien bases on Earth, one in Alaska and the other in either South America or Africa
The remote viewing session was part of the CIA's top-secret STARGATE program, which recruited individuals believed to have psychic abilities for military and intelligence purposes during the Cold War.
The program began in the early 1970s and officially shut down in 1995 after being deemed scientifically unreliable and operationally ineffective for intelligence gathering.
The report on extraterrestrial bases was produced in 1987 and later declassified in 2000.
During a remote viewing session, participants typically sketched what they 'saw' and jotted down brief notes about their perceptions.
The 12-page document includes several drawings believed to depict the locations of these ET bases—one sketch appears to resemble a rocky mountain.
That drawing has been interpreted as Mount Hayes in Alaska, which stands roughly 8,000 feet tall.
Mount Hayes has long been the subject of UFO sightings and theories about a hidden underground alien base. Numerous witnesses have reported seeing flying saucers, strange lights, and other unexplained phenomena in the area.
Although the remote viewer did not describe the base itself in detail, they claimed to have perceived 'two types of entities associated with this site.'
The remote viewer also reported seeing 'entities' at these sites. One was said to have 'a very large, rounded-shaped head' and 'very unhuman appearance,' while another was described as 'very pale' with a 'sharp nose'
The report also said there is an alien base on Saturn's largest moon, Titan
The remote viewer described seeing two beings standing outside one of the bases, 'accomplishing some sort of routine task.'
Inside the base, they perceived two more entities. One was seated at a circular console with a round, screen-like object, according to the session notes.
The second figure was performing another task in the background.
'The entity at the console appeared to be in human form but lacked definitive features,' the remote viewer shared, adding that the being appeared to acknowledge their presence and invited them to observe its work.
At the Titan base, the remote viewer did not report seeing any alien life.
Instead, they described the site as appearing to be staffed by individuals who 'looked no different than native earthlings.'
They observed two male technicians seated at a control panel, with a female figure—described as having brown hair and wearing a pale green lab coat—standing behind them in what appeared to be a supervisory role.
The final location was described as being somewhere south of the equator, though the remote viewer couldn't determine whether it was in South America or Africa.
Although the sketch was labeled 'South America,' the landscape reportedly resembled Europe.
At that base, the viewer reported seeing two entities.
'The first had a very large, rounded-shaped head on a slender neck… very unhuman appearance… almost robot-like… unable to make contact with this being,' the report notes.
The second entity appeared more human, though it had no hair and lacked distinct facial features. 'The entity seemed friendly enough and appeared to be aware of my presence,' the remote viewer wrote.
Although the sketch was labeled 'South America,' the landscape reportedly resembled Europe
The CIA operated several secret remote viewing programs during the Cold War, using individuals with alleged psychic abilities to assist in a range of intelligence operations—from tracking kidnapped hostages held by terrorist groups to locating fugitive criminals inside the U.S.
One such program, known as Sun Streak, even tasked a remote viewer with locating the Ark of the Covenant, which they claimed was hidden somewhere in the Middle East.
In another high-profile session, famed remote viewer Joe McMoneagle, known as the CIA's 'Remote Viewer No. 1,' was reportedly given coordinates and asked to describe what he saw.
Speaking on the show American Alchemy in March, McMoneagle said he visualized a giant pyramid on Mars, larger than Egypt's Great Pyramid of Giza, filled with what he called 'monster rooms.'
'I started getting an image of human beings that were trapped in a place where the atmosphere was turning bad,' McMoneagle recalled. 'It was obvious these people were dying for some reason—but they were humans. They were just twice our size.'
The coordinates he had been given were later revealed to correspond to Mars, 1,000,000 BC—as written on a white card handed to him during the session.

The Grays and the CIA’s hidden time travel program
The Grays and the CIA’s hidden time travel program
New evidence and declassified CIA files suggest that the Grays, the mysterious gray aliens seen in UFO encounters, may not be extraterrestrials at all, but future humans traveling back in time to prevent their own extinction.
After the death of genius inventor Nikola Tesla in 1943, U.S. agents seized his private papers. Rumor has it that inside those files were detailed notes on space-time manipulation, blueprints for technology far beyond its era.
Not long after, both the CIA and DARPA quietly began experiments in what they called “quantum displacement.” These classified efforts eventually became known as Project Pegasus, a covert government program exploring teleportation and time travel.
Whistleblower Andrew Basiago, a former participant, claims that during the 1970s he was part of these top-secret trials. According to Basiago, the CIA used “chronovisors”, holographic portals capable of sending people through time. Even more extraordinary, he alleges the agency made contact with human beings (Grays) from the future during these experiments.
The shocking theory is that the Grays are us.
Many believe they could be the evolutionary result of humanity’s distant future, a time when we’ve advanced technologically, but lost our emotions, creativity, and ability to reproduce.
In this theory, the Grays are not invaders, they’re biologists and geneticists from the future, traveling back to collect human DNA. Their goal? To fix the genetic decline that threatens their existence.
That would explain why so many alleged abduction cases revolve around medical procedures, reproductive samples, and hybrid programs. They’re not attacking us, they’re trying to save themselves.
Leaked CIA files mention “non-terrestrial biological entities”, yet curiously never call them extraterrestrials. Some insiders suggest that’s because they were classified as “temporally displaced humanoids”, meaning, humans out of time.
If these beings are indeed our descendants, their presence could be a desperate cry for help. They may be returning to warn us of the path we’re on, a future of ecological collapse, over-reliance on artificial intelligence, and genetic decay that strips away what makes us human.
Maybe the Grays’ emotionless appearance isn’t alien… it’s a mirror of what we become if we don’t change course.
For decades, governments have hidden the truth behind UFOs. But what if those strange craft aren’t from another world, they’re time machines from our own?
If the CIA really did experiment with time travel through Project Pegasus, and if the Grays truly are future humans, then the question isn’t 'Where are the aliens? It’s 'What have we become?'
Perhaps every UFO sighting, every abduction, and every cover-up isn’t about extraterrestrials at all but about humanity’s struggle to save its own future.
The “Grays are Future Humans” theory may sound unbelievable, but so did time travel, teleportation, and quantum physics once.
If these beings truly are our descendants, then their message is clear: The future isn’t set in stone. It’s still ours to change.
Whitley Strieber, born in Texas, United States, is a famous author known for his thought-provoking horror fiction. Strieber wrote a novel called The Wolfen, which later became a popular film in 1980. However, it was his book Communion that garnered significant attention, particularly from the UFO community. His book changed this dynamic almost instantly, attracting widespread interest beyond the usual UFOlogy circles.
Strieber’s writings have been adapted into various movies and TV shows, contributing to his global acclaim as a best-selling author. However, his popularity soared after the publication of “Communion” in 1987, a non-fiction novel detailing his encounter with non-human intelligent beings. The book became a major success, reaching the No. 1 spot on The New York Times’ non-fiction bestseller list.
In 1989, a film adaptation of “Communion” was released, featuring actors Christopher Walken and Lindsay Crouse. The author’s real encounter with aliens happened on December 26, 1985, when he was sleeping alone in his cabin in the woods, upstate New York. That night, Strieber was awakened by an unusual noise. When he opened his eyes, he saw a small alien creature approaching his bed.
“Throughout the world, there is a certain type of face, a being that’s seen again and again and again. With a long, thin face and big black eyes, sometimes the head seems quite big, as in the Betty Andreas case. In others, like in my case, they seem smaller, and the beings are taller. But that basic configuration, that basic sort of non-human configuration, seems to be repeated again and again and again in experiences all over the world,” Strieber said.
Whitley Strieber
The next thing Strieber remembered was finding himself sitting in the surrounding woods with fragmented memories of what had transpired. To uncover the truth and regain his memories, he decided to undergo regressive hypnosis administered by Dr. Donald F. Klein. He recalled he had been abducted and physically assaulted by someone whom he designated as “Visitors” to keep the possibility of extraterrestrials’ involvement low.
Under hypnosis, Strieber recalled being “floated” out of his bedroom and taken aboard a UFO. During this experience, he encountered four different types of alien beings: a small robot-like being, a short and stocky type, a slender one, and a weak-looking being. Whatever he had recalled in the hypnosis became the story of his best-selling novel. Since that night, he was full of curiosity about the unknown visitors.
Strieber described that one of the beings had captivating black slanted eyes, while the last being had black button eyes. He further said that he underwent medical experiments conducted by those extraterrestrial beings. The experiments included a needle being inserted into his brain and an object being inserted into his rectum. Additionally, the beings extracted a blood sample from him by making an incision in his finger, indicating a series of invasive procedures.
As a result of the bizarre incidents described, Dr. Klein diagnosed Strieber with “temporal lobe epilepsy,” a condition known to cause hallucinations. However, Strieber did not accept this diagnosis and continued to claim that his abduction was a real experience. In fact, he went on to establish a foundation to provide support for other individuals who claimed to have been abducted by aliens, forming a support group for alien abductees.
Cover page of Communion: A True Story by Whitley Strieber, showing the face of an alien that resembles the famous Grey aliens
In 1998, Strieber had another strange encounter at the Delta Chelsea Hotel in Toronto. He was awakened at 2:30 in the morning by a knock at the door, expecting room service, but instead found a mysterious man. Stieber told the Huffington Post: “I got up to open the door, thinking it was the room service waiter. It was not. It was a man I described as about 5 and a half feet tall, older-looking, like someone in his 70s. He wore dark-colored clothing, a turtleneck, and charcoal slacks.”
Strieber described this encounter in his book “The Key: A True Encounter,” published in 2000. The stranger engaged Strieber in a conversation about life lessons, science, and ethics. He expressed a desire to help humanity escape from a cycle of violence and self-destruction. When asked about technology, the stranger mentioned that an intelligent machine would continually seek to enhance its intelligence for survival. The conversation touched upon various topics, including the existence of multiple universes and catastrophic events in Earth’s history.
During the 45-minute conversation, Strieber grew increasingly curious and asked many questions. However, at one point, the stranger offered him a drink, which caused him to fall asleep immediately. The stranger’s true identity remains unknown, leaving Strieber contemplating the future of humanity and the undiscovered realms of science.
While many people remain skeptical about Strieber’s claim of alien abduction, John B. Alexander, a former Green Beret Commander and weapons developer, has regarded Strieber as an intelligent and thoughtful researcher in the field.
Author Whitley Strieber approached the subject of alien abductions differently than his contemporaries in the 1980s. While others focused on the idea that extraterrestrial scientists were stealing human DNA, Strieber delved into the controversial aspects of his own experiences with what he called the Visitors. He used this term because he was not sure if his captors were truly alien in the conventional sense. Strieber believed they might represent something beyond human comprehension.
In his book “Transformation,” a sequel to “Communion,” Strieber explored traumatic encounters of abductees who believed the Visitors (also known as Greys) had the ability to extract the immortal human soul from the physical body. He received a response from the Visitors, explaining that they recycled souls and that Earth was like a school where souls learn, grow, and evolve through successive reincarnations.
Strieber’s realization that the abduction phenomenon was stranger than initially thought was shared by Harvard professor John E. Mack. Mack encountered abductees who believed the entities they encountered were soul-stealers. In Mack’s book “Passport to the Cosmos,” he recounted the story of an abductee named Greg who feared being separated from his soul, believing it would lead to the end of his consciousness and existence.
David Grusch, a former 14-year high-ranking intelligence officer, is one of the three whistleblowers who testified before Congress on July 26, 2023, in the historical UAP hearings. After two months, Grusch appeared in a lengthy interview with Jesse Michels, where he discussed his claims broadly and also disclosed some more information related to his claims.
His testimony highlights that the US government has been concealing evidence of UFOs and indications of non-human intelligence. He declined to provide this information publicly but claimed to have shared it with the intelligence committees and the Inspector General and suggested discussing it in a closed environment.
Grusch has the support of many individuals in authority who believe he is an authentic person. In this June 2023 edition of the Debrief, authors Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal mention Karl E. Nell, a retired Army Colonel and aerospace executive who worked with David Grusch and characterized Grusch as “beyond reproach.” Nell speaks highly of Grusch’s integrity and credibility in his role as the Army’s liaison for the UAP Task Force from 2021 to 2022. (Click here to read the full article)
In the recent interview with Jesse Michels, Grusch discussed a range of topics, including the severe penalties faced by the leakers of classified UFO information, the existence of “nonhuman intelligence” pilots operating UFOs, and the initial reasons for concealing UFO information, which included concerns about societal shock and adversarial nations like Russia.
Grusch also highlighted the connection between the Manhattan Project and laws related to UFO secrecy, as well as the existence of a classified project related to UFOs separate from Project Blue Book. He suggested that the technology of these “nonhuman intelligence” entities may be highly advanced but evolved asymmetrically compared to humans, emphasizing their interest in nuclear technology. Luis Elizondo hinted that US Military had created an environment to attract UFOs so that they could study them. (Click here to read the full article)
Grusch cites a previous statement made by Lue Elizondo, a former Pentagon UFO official, regarding the “Galactic Zoo hypothesis.” This hypothesis suggests that extraterrestrials are observing us, possibly explaining the nature of these beings. It is evident that Grusch takes care to directly reference Elizondo’s prior interview, where he mentioned that these extraterrestrials are intentionally designed to have a humanoid appearance for interaction with humans.
David Fravor is another UFO whistleblower who testified along with Grusch before Congress. He discussed an encounter where he and his team were informed by a controller that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) had been observed for over two weeks descending rapidly from over 80,000 feet to 20,000 feet, hovering for extended periods, and then quickly ascending again. Michels and Grusch engage in a conversation about the mysterious nature of these objects, with Michels suggesting that they seem to exhibit awareness and play a sort of cat-and-mouse game with observers.
Grusch said, “Yeah, I know. I’ve had some folks I talked to that had their own kind of up-close kind of sightings. They said that they got that vibe too, you know? Who knows if that’s psychosomatic or sure or what, but they did get a vibe like that too… I’ve had a very smart guy who was like, ‘Well, did Darwin care to fully conceal himself when he studied the finches?’ And it’s like, they observe. They don’t really care, right? And they don’t really care to interact, but they’re just here to observe.”
The discussion touches on the idea that these UFOs might be studying or observing human activity, similar to anthropologists studying a tribe, and explores analogies like the “gorilla in the cage” and the possibility of these objects having an interest in nuclear power.
Big Think writes, “The Zoo Hypothesis, proposed by the MIT radio astronomer John A. Ball in 1973, says that aliens may be avoiding contact with us on purpose, so as not to interfere with our evolution and the development of our societies. The human civilization could be essentially living in a ‘zoo’ or a space wildlife sanctuary, where others populating the cosmos dare not go. By staying clear of us, they avoid interplanetary contamination.
The hypothesis makes the most sense in a crowded universe, if there are many civilizations which set up rules by which they govern their coexistence. Of course, if there are many extraterrestrial players, it is also doubtful that one of them wouldn’t have somehow contacted us, even if by accident. Maybe that’s what the Earth’s alien hunters are picking up on – random, unsanctioned interactions.”
In 2016, Josh Hrala told ScienceAlert that while the zoo hypothesis does assume that aliens exist, perhaps the reason why they are not interacting with us is because they do not want to have any influence on our society and just want to keep observing us from far away. This makes sense as Grusch insinuates in the interview that the initial reasoning for hiding the information was the ontological shock it would cause in society due to society’s religiousness at the time, along with concealing the information from adversaries like Russia.
Why do they crash?
In the interview, Grusch suggested that UFO crashes may have been intentionally seeded to test humanity’s development in relation to being exposed to this technology. Astronomer Jacques Vallee thinks UFO crashes are not accidental events, but rather intentional occurrences that serve a specific purpose for the mysterious visitors.
Anomalien.com writes, “Vallee begins by pointing out that the evidence for UFO crashes is very weak and often contradictory. He argues that most of the alleged crash sites have never been properly investigated or verified by independent experts, and that many of the witnesses and whistleblowers who claim to have seen or handled alien bodies or debris are unreliable or have ulterior motives.”
He also mentions that the UFOs and the materials they are made of do not follow the normal rules of science and engineering. He thinks this is because the UFOs are intentionally confusing us, making us see things that do not make sense on purpose.
Vallee said, “There is plenty of data – and it should be analyzed further. But I do not think it’s going to be a propeller from a flying saucer. I think it is going to be things that would be interesting if you could find a pattern to the material. I’m skeptical about stories of crashed saucers; I have an open mind about it, but I’ve heard those stories for so many years and they never really amount to anything tangible. Also, I am skeptical for another reason: We build technologies now that are extremely reliable where there is the need. How often does your hard disk crash? I mean, if you keep your computer for 15 years, eventually the hard disk is going to crash. But you don’t expect that to happen. If you were going to build a technology that takes you across interstellar space, it would have to be extremely reliable.” (Source)
According to Vallee, the UFOs do not want to interact with us directly. Instead, they want to create a mysterious situation that makes us question what is real and what is not. He believes that these UFO events are like a big test for humanity. They want to see how we react – whether we get curious, scared, amazed, doubtful, or obsessed. Vallee thinks that how we react to these UFOs could change how we evolve and what our future looks like.
The discussion also touched on the possibility of UFOs being our descendants from the future, military sensory systems detecting UFOs more frequently due to advanced technology, and Grusch’s perspective shaped by being on the Autism spectrum.
Additionally, Grusch’s background as a veteran and his involvement in drafting the National Defense Authorization Act of 2023, which includes provisions for reporting UFOs, were noted as relevant to his insights.
Moreover, any discovered UFO technology will be revealed to the public through a “Controlled Disclosure Campaign” plan, according to the US Defence Authorisation Act 2024, which is set to go before President Biden towards the end of the year.
