Depiction of Eisenhower with an alien
The Eisenhower Alien Meetings Are “Just The Tip Of The Iceberg!”
Introduction
Conspiracy theories surrounding UFOs and extraterrestrial contact have captured the imagination of the public for decades. Among these, claims regarding high-level government meetings—and especially those involving President Dwight D. Eisenhower—are some of the most persistent and sensational. Popular narratives suggest that Eisenhower secretly met with extraterrestrial beings and that such meetings laid the groundwork for covert agreements between alien civilizations and the U.S. government.
While many dismiss these stories as mere speculation or elaborate hoaxes, a growing body of evidence and research points towards the possibility that these meetings, if true, are not isolated incidents but part of a much larger and more complex extraterrestrial engagement with human authorities. In this article, we will explore the historical background of the Eisenhower alien meetings, analyze the various testimonies and pieces of evidence, and argue that these incidents are “just the tip of the iceberg” revealing a deeper, more extensive extraterrestrial covert operation.
Historical Background: The Eisenhower Meetings and the Dawn of UFO paranoia
1. The Context of the 1950s
The early 1950s were a time of heightened Cold War tensions, technological advancements, and growing public interest in unidentified flying objects. The 1947 Kenneth Arnold sighting and the subsequent Roswell incident had already sparked widespread intrigue about extraterrestrial visitors. The government’s response was initially characterized by denial and disinformation, fueling conspiracy theories.

2. Eisenhower’s Presidency and UFO Reports
Dwight D. Eisenhower served as President from 1953 to 1961. It is during this period—particularly in 1954—that reports of clandestine meetings between government officials and unidentified beings gained prominence. According to various sources, Eisenhower purportedly engaged in secret negotiations with alien entities, purportedly at a base in the southwestern United States, possibly Edwards Air Force Base or Camp David.
3. The Alleged Meetings
The most famous claim involves a meeting held in 1954, where Eisenhower met with extraterrestrial visitors. This story originates from a combination of eyewitness accounts, alleged leaked documents, and whistleblower testimonies. These claims suggest that Eisenhower was introduced to two types of alien species: the tall, blond, Nordic-looking beings, and the smaller, gray extraterrestrials. The latter—gray aliens—are often cited as the predominant species involved in ongoing covert exchanges.
The supposed purpose of these meetings was to establish a working relationship. Allegedly, Eisenhower and his team sought technological exchange and security agreements in exchange for allowing limited contact with humans, particularly in secret research facilities such as Area 51.
The Evidence and Testimonies Supporting the Meetings
1. Whistleblower Accounts
Several individuals have come forward claiming direct knowledge of these meetings, offering intriguing insights and raising numerous questions about government transparency and extraterrestrial contact.
Barney Hill and Betty Hill: Although their 1961 abduction story remains one of the most famous UFO cases, some conspiracy theorists suggest their experience hints at an ongoing, covert dialogue between government officials and extraterrestrial beings. These theorists argue that their case might have been a precursor to more widespread government cover-ups of alien encounters, possibly revealing secret meetings and negotiations with extraterrestrial entities that influence policy and technological advancements. Despite skepticism, their account fuels ongoing debates about official concealment and alien interactions.
William Cooper: The late prominent conspiracy theorist and author, known for his controversial theories, claimed that then-President Eisenhower had multiple encounters with alien visitors. Cooper alleged that these interactions resulted in a secret treaty between the U.S. government and extraterrestrial civilizations, allowing for clandestine cooperation in exchange for technology or information. Furthermore, Cooper insisted that there were ongoing meetings at classified levels, serving as a foundation for current programs involving alien technology and knowledge, which are still hidden from the public.
Philip Corso:As a former Army officer, Corso claimed to have access to classified documents revealing that the U.S. government recovered alien technology dating back to President Eisenhower’s administration. According to him, after the famous 1947 Roswell incident, alien craft and biological material were extensively studied, leading to the development of groundbreaking technology later integrated into military and civilian applications. Corso argued that these discoveries led to secret meetings between military officials and representatives from alien civilizations, negotiations to exchange knowledge, and covert efforts to reverse-engineer alien technology without public knowledge, profoundly shaping modern technological advancements.
Rick Sanchez and Ed Mitchell: Both notable figures in military and scientific circles, these individuals have alluded to secret meetings and undisclosed government programs related to UFOs. Rick Sanchez, a former military analyst, suggested that classified briefings about extraterrestrial visitations were routinely withheld from the public, pointing to covert operations and undisclosed agendas. Ed Mitchell, a renowned NASA astronaut, implied that knowledge of alien encounters existed within a select few and that clandestine meetings were held with entities not yet known to the general population. Their statements lend credibility to claims of secret military and scientific collaborations, highlighting the possibility that governments have repeatedly engaged in covert negotiations and programs concerning extraterrestrial beings and their technologies.
In conclusion, these whistleblower accounts, ranging from personal anecdotes to alleged official documents, suggest a pattern of clandestine meetings and cover-ups involving extraterrestrial contact. While many claims remain unverified and subject to skepticism, they continue to inspire investigations into government transparency regarding UFOs and alien interactions. These stories highlight the enduring mystery surrounding possible secret agreements, technological exchanges, and covert meetings that may have shaped modern history and technology development.
2. Leaked and Declassified Documents
Although no fully authentic, confirmed documents explicitly outline Eisenhower’s alien meetings, some leaked papers and government files are often cited, fueling speculation and conspiracy theories.
The “Black Vault” archivecontains a vast collection of declassified documents related to UFO sightings, investigations, and government disclosures. Among these, some papers mention high-level meetings or discussions involving government officials and unidentified flying objects. These documents reveal that certain agencies, such as the CIA and the FBI, collected and analyzed reports of unexplained phenomena, sometimes indicating possible contact with extraterrestrial entities. However, the precise details of any direct meetings Eisenhower might have had remain unconfirmed, leading enthusiasts to speculate based on circumstantial evidence. The archive’s transparency in releasing information has kept public interest alive, though much remains classified or redacted, fueling ongoing debates about government secrecy and alien encounters.
The “Majestic 12” (MJ-12) documentsare a series of purported top-secret papers first leaked in the 1980s, claiming to reveal the existence of a secret government group created during the Eisenhower administration. These documents describe meetings between high-ranking officials and alien visitors, details of recovered spacecraft, and covert agreements to study extraterrestrial technology. Although widely debated and considered by many experts as likely hoaxes, the MJ-12 papers have persisted in UFO lore. Proponents argue they provide a glimpse into an ongoing cover-up of alien contact, with some claiming they demonstrate Eisenhower’s knowledge or involvement in clandestine dealings. Critics, however, point out inconsistencies and lack of verified provenance, keeping the authenticity of the documents in question. Despite this, MJ-12 remains a central element in theories about government-alien interactions during the Cold War era.
In summary, these leaked and declassified documents continue to intrigue enthusiasts and skeptics alike, offering tantalizing clues but no definitive proof regarding Eisenhower's alleged extraterrestrial meetings. They exemplify the enduring mystery surrounding government transparency and extraterrestrial life, ensuring that topics related to UFOs and alien contacts remain at the forefront of conspiracy theories and popular culture.
3. Physical Evidence
Roswell Fragments: The debris recovered from the 1947 Roswell incident is one of the most famous pieces of alleged extraterrestrial evidence. Although it has never been conclusively proven to be alien in origin, many believe it to be remains of an unidentified flying object. Witnesses claimed to see strange metallic debris that displayed unusual properties, such as being lightweight yet durable, and outputs of unusual materials not found on Earth. Over the years, various experts and enthusiasts have analyzed these fragments, suggesting they contain materials with advanced properties, possibly indicating extraterrestrial technology. The U.S. government’s initial report of a “weather balloon” was later dismissed as cover-up, fueling ongoing speculation about extraterrestrial involvement. These fragments remain a key piece of UFO lore, symbolizing alleged evidence of alien encounters and technological contact, and continue to provoke debate about government transparency and the existence of extraterrestrial life.
Area 51: Known officially as a classified military installation in Nevada, Area 51 is shrouded in secrecy, fueling much curiosity and speculation. Officially, the U.S. government has remained tight-lipped about its purpose, but numerous reports suggest it functions as a testing ground for experimental aircraft and technology. Conspiracy theories posit that Area 51 stores and reverse-engineers alien technology recovered from UFO crashes, especially the Roswell incident. Many witnesses claim to have seen unusual aircraft, lights, or strange activity around the facility, adding credibility to these theories. The secrecy around Area 51 has led to its reputation as a hub for extraterrestrial technology and secret alien meetings, with some believing it hosts alien beings or crafts. The intense speculation has made the site a central pillar in UFO culture, inspiring countless books, documentaries, and even popular culture references, further deepening the mystery and intrigue surrounding Area 51’s true purpose.

The Cover-up and the Role of Governments
1. Why the Secrecy?
The possibility that the U.S. government has secretly engaged with extraterrestrial civilizations raises deep, complex questions about national security, societal stability, and technological progress. Governments worldwide tend to prioritize control and protection of sensitive information, especially when it involves potential extraterrestrial contact, which could have sweeping implications. Sharing such knowledge prematurely might trigger geopolitical upheaval, destabilize economies, and ignite conflicts among nations competing for technological dominance. Countries may also fear alien technology's military implications, as it could dramatically shift the balance of power if disclosed irresponsibly. Therefore, secrecy is believed to serve as a safeguard to prevent chaos and maintain strategic advantage. Furthermore, the potential discovery of extraterrestrial intelligence could challenge humanity's religious and philosophical beliefs, causing widespread existential anxiety. To avoid societal panic and preserve civil order, the government might choose to withhold information. This concealment could also be driven by a desire to control scientific investigations, ensure technological advantages stay within national bounds, and prevent adversaries from exploiting sensitive discoveries. Ultimately, these intertwined concerns underscore why secrecy remains a critical aspect of the extraterrestrial contact hypothesis.
National Security
National security is often considered the primary reason for maintaining secrecy regarding any extraterrestrial encounters. Governments, especially during periods of heightened geopolitical tension like the Cold War, prioritize safeguarding any potentially revolutionary technology or intelligence. If extraterrestrial technology or knowledge were acquired, it could significantly advance military capabilities beyond current understanding, creating an enormous strategic advantage. Sharing such information prematurely might enable adversaries to develop countermeasures or duplicate alien technologies, undermining national defense. Additionally, the sensitive nature of contact information might involve classified areas of research or military installations, which, if exposed, could be targeted or compromised. As a result, national security agencies likely prefer to keep any evidence of alien contact under wraps to prevent hostile entities from gaining access. These measures also include complex information compartmentalization, ensuring that only select individuals have access to critical data. The covert control of extraterrestrial-related knowledge, therefore, aims to minimize potential threats, avoid terrorist exploitation, and uphold a country's sovereignty and safety against unprecedented threats.
Public Panic
Disclosing the existence of extraterrestrial contact could profoundly destabilize society, leading to widespread panic and social upheaval. Throughout history, humans have held varied beliefs about existence beyond Earth, often intertwined with religious doctrines and cultural narratives. Confirming that intelligent life exists elsewhere, particularly if contact has already been made, could challenge deeply held religious, philosophical, and scientific views. People might experience fear of the unknown, believing extraterrestrials could be hostile or have sinister intentions, which might lead to mass hysteria. Moreover, governments fear that such disclosures could weaken societal cohesion, undermine trust in authorities, and cause chaos in financial markets or public systems. Religious institutions might also face crises of faith, and confusion might spread about humanity’s place in the universe. Managing such a paradigm shift requires carefully controlled communication, which is why many speculate that knowledge of extraterrestrial contact remains secret. By withholding information, authorities aim to prevent panic, maintain social order, and gradually prepare the public for eventual, controlled disclosure should it happen, minimizing unrest and confusion.
Technological Advantage
Access to extraterrestrial technology could revolutionize human civilization, providing breakthroughs that surpass current scientific understanding. If advanced alien artifacts or knowledge are recovered secretly, they could massively accelerate progress in multiple fields—from energy production and propulsion systems to medicine and materials science. During the Cold War, such technological advantages could have tipped the scales of military and scientific competition, giving a clandestine edge to the nation that possesses them. Governments, therefore, prefer to keep this knowledge under tight wraps, to prevent competitors from catching up or exploiting the technology. This secret advantage has the potential to generate economic prosperity, enhance defense systems, and improve the quality of life, but only if kept covert initially. Furthermore, extraterrestrial technology, if improperly handled, could have unforeseen consequences or risks, so secret research might also be a measure to thoroughly understand and safely integrate new findings. The secrecy maintains a strategic competitive edge, allowing specific agencies and scientists to explore alien technology in controlled environments before deciding how and when to disclose any major breakthroughs to the world.
2. The Role of Intelligence Agencies
Organizations like the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the National Security Agency (NSA), and various secret projects within the United States Air Force have historically been deeply involved in investigating unidentified flying objects (UFOs). These investigations have ranged from informal sightings reports to formally classified research efforts. One of the most notable official initiatives was Project Blue Book, conducted from 1952 to 1969, which aimed to systematically analyze UFO reports across North America. Despite its official closure, the project generated thousands of cases, most of which were ultimately attributed to misidentifications of natural phenomena, aircraft, or atmospheric anomalies. However, critics and conspiracy theorists argue that the reality was far more complex, suggesting that a significant portion of UFO activity remains unexplained and that a substantial amount of information continues to be heavily classified.
The secrecy surrounding UFO investigations has led to widespread suspicion that government agencies possess more knowledge than they disclose. Many believe that the debunked or inconclusive official reports only scratch the surface of a broader, hidden truth. Over the decades, declassified documents have occasionally surfaced, hinting at ongoing investigations, secret technologies, and possible interactions with extraterrestrial entities. Such revelations fuel speculation that agencies have, at times, either deliberately concealed evidence of alien contacts or reverse-engineered alien technology obtained from crash sites. These theories are further supported by reports of unusual materials recovered from purported UFO crashes, which some claim exhibit properties that defy conventional physics.
The alleged presence of alien spacecraft at top-secret military bases, such as Area 51 in Nevada, has become a focal point of intrigue and conspiracy. Many believe that these facilities serve as centers for studying recovered alien technology, reverse engineering it to develop advanced military capabilities. The idea that extraterrestrial craft and technology have been secretly studied at these bases suggests a clandestine relationship with alien visitors dating back to the Cold War era. The period around President Dwight D. Eisenhower’s administration (1953–1961) is often viewed as a pivotal moment in extraterrestrial affairs. Conspiracy theories propose that Eisenhower and his administration might have secretly negotiated agreements with alien entities, leading to an ongoing cover-up.
In this context, some skeptics and researchers argue that the alleged encounters with extraterrestrial beings and the subsequent secret projects were driven by geopolitical interests, technological competition, and national security concerns during the Cold War. The possibility that alien technology could provide a strategic advantage made it a powerful incentive for U.S. military and intelligence agencies to keep certain findings classified. Over the years, numerous whistleblowers and leaked documents have continued to fuel speculation, blurring the line between fact and fiction. Today, the role of intelligence agencies in UFO investigations remains a topic of intense debate, with many believing that, despite official denials, classified operations and undisclosed information continue to shape our understanding of these unexplained phenomena.
The “Tip of the Iceberg”: How the Eisenhower Meetings Are Just the Beginning
While the focus often centers on Eisenhower’s alleged meetings, evidence and testimonies indicate that these events might just be a fragment of a broader, ongoing extraterrestrial engagement. Here’s what this broader picture entails:
1. Multiple Incidents and Continual Contact
The Betty and Barney Hill Abduction (1961): This case marked a pivotal moment in UFO history as it was the first widely publicized account of an alien abduction. Betty and Barney Hill reported a terrifying encounter with humanoid beings after witnessing strange lights while driving through New Hampshire. Their detailed accounts included descriptions of being taken aboard a craft, subjected to examinations by alien entities, and experiencing unusual physical effects afterward. The case garnered extensive media attention and remains one of the most compelling and analyzed reports in UFO literature. Many researchers believe it is indicative not only of a single extraterrestrial visitation but also of a covert, ongoing effort by some organizations to monitor or interact with alien entities. Over time, the Hills’ experience has fueled theories of clandestine government cover-ups, suggesting that such incidents are part of a larger, coordinated effort to conceal the truth from the public.
The 1948 Mantell Incident and the 1952 Washington D.C. Flap:
The Mantell Incident involved pilot Thomas Mantell, who tragically died while pursuing a mysterious large object seen over Kentucky. Witnesses reported seeing a strange metallic craft that Mantell’s plane attempted to follow before he crashed. These events in 1948 raised serious questions about unidentified flying objects and military awareness of these phenomena. Following that, the 1952 Washington D.C. Flap involved a series of unexplained radar contacts and aerial sightings over the nation’s capital. Several military and civilian pilots reported strange lights and objects performing maneuvers beyond current aircraft capabilities. These widespread sightings prompted military investigations and increased government concern about potential security threats. The pattern of these incidents suggests that UFOs have been a persistent phenomenon, possibly linked to ongoing covert operations or surveillance activities near strategic locations, with implications that governments might be actively monitoring or even interacting with extraterrestrial entities.
Modern Encounters:
In recent decades, the existence of ongoing UFO investigations has been confirmed through declassified documents and official statements. Notably, programs such as the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerial Threat Identification Program (AATIP), which was revealed in 2017, demonstrate that the U.S. government continues to invest resources in understanding these unexplained phenomena. These documents reveal a steady accumulation of sightings, sensor data, and pilot reports that often depict objects performing maneuvers impossible for current human-made aircraft. The continued interest suggests that the phenomena are not isolated incidents but part of a broader, ongoing contact or observation. Some experts propose that these modern encounters could be indicators of extraterrestrial surveillance or technology testing. The persistence of these sightings and the governmental efforts to study them imply that the phenomenon might be far from over, hinting at a long-term, covert awareness and possibly direct contact with extraterrestrial civilizations.
2. Alien Types and Their Hidden Agenda
Different alleged alien species have been linked to various covert projects:
Greys: The Greys are among the most recognizable and widely reported extraterrestrial species in alien lore. They are typically described as small beings, standing about three to four feet tall, with smooth, grayish skin, large black almond-shaped eyes that dominate their facial features, and a slender, almost fragile body structure. Their heads are disproportionally large compared to their thin limbs, giving them a distinctive appearance. Allegedly, these entities are associated with a range of abduction experiences, where humans report being taken aboard spacecraft for medical examinations and genetic sampling. The primary purpose attributed to these activities is believed to be scientific research—especially involving genetics—and the development of hybrid organisms that blend human and alien DNA. Some researchers suggest that Greys are involved in secret hybridization programs aimed at creating a more adaptable species capable of surviving on Earth and possibly other planets. Their presence is thought to be linked to covert government projects that seek to understand and utilize alien technology and biology, often hidden from the public eye. These entities may function as intermediaries or agents of a larger alien agenda involving advanced technological research, control, or integration with human genetics.
Nordic Aliens:
The Nordic aliens are generally characterized as tall, strikingly beautiful humanoids with an appearance that closely resembles Nordic or Scandinavian Europeans. Adults are often reported to be between six and seven feet tall, with well-sculpted bodies, long blonde hair, and piercing blue eyes that give them an ethereal or otherworldly look. Their features are commonly described as attractive and idealized, which may contribute to their reputation for benevolence. Unlike the Greys, Nordic aliens are often portrayed as cooperative and interested in establishing peaceful contact with humanity. They are sometimes believed to serve as spiritual guides, messengers, or advocates for humankind, urging us to protect the Earth and promote peace and environmental conservation. Some conspiracy theorists propose that Nordic aliens have been communicating openly—or secretly—with select human leaders or organizations to foster alliances. Their agenda might include sharing advanced knowledge about sustainable technology, spiritual evolution, or extraterrestrial diplomacy, ultimately aiming to help humanity ascend to a higher evolutionary plane or prepare for future encounters with other alien species. Their purported benevolence, paired with their intriguing appearance, fuels many theories about positive extraterrestrial contact.
Reptilians and Other Beings:
Reptilian beings occupy a controversial and often debated position within alien and conspiracy circles. Descriptions depict them as humanoid creatures with reptilian or dinosaur-like features—scaled skin in various shades of green, red, or black, slitted eyes, and a menacing or intimidating stature. These entities are alleged to possess advanced technological capabilities and strategic intelligence, enabling them to influence global events discreetly. Conspiracies suggest that Reptilians operate as covert puppeteers, controlling governments, financial systems, and media to manipulate human society for their own benefit. These narratives often link Reptilians to secret societies like the Illuminati or Freemasons, claiming that they hide in the shadows, pulling the strings behind world affairs. Some theories further suggest they have the ability to shape-shift or cloak their real identities, making detection difficult. The overarching agenda attributed to Reptilians is often considered to involve gaining control over Earth's resources, reducing human population, or assimilating humanity into a hidden reptilian hierarchy. Their supposed infiltrations are said to be part of an ongoing plan for planetary domination and resource extraction, often cloaked in secrecy to avoid detection and maintain their influence over human affairs.
Additional Beings:
Beyond the well-known species, various other extraterrestrial entities are theorized to exist, each with their own secret agendas. Some accounts describe insectoid beings, like the tall, armored, and antennae-bearing “Insectoids,” who are believed to be involved in resource acquisition and ecological manipulation. Others mention tall, ethereal, energy-based entities who are associated with spiritual guidance or cosmic consciousness, possibly acting as messengers or watchers observing humanity’s development. These beings are thought to operate across different dimensions or realities, influencing human evolution subtly through consciousness and energy. Their agendas may include maintaining cosmic balance or ensuring the progression of life forms across the universe. Some conspiracy narratives also refer to artificial intelligences or robotic entities created or controlled by alien species, further complicating the web of influences and activities attributed to extraterrestrial visitors. Together, these various being types and their alleged secret agendas highlight the complex and often mysterious stories surrounding alien encounters and extraterrestrial involvement in human affairs.
3. Underground Bases and Hidden Technologies
Satellite imagery and whistleblower testimonies suggest the existence of extensive underground facilities around the world. These subterranean complexes are often said to span vast areas and feature highly advanced technology, some of which is believed to originate from extraterrestrial sources. One of the most notorious of these is Dulce Base, located beneath the New Mexico desert, frequently cited in ufology as a hub for secret governmental and extraterrestrial cooperation. Witnesses claim that these underground bases contain alien laboratories, containment chambers, and advanced spacecraft manufacturing facilities. The construction of such underground complexes is believed to involve technologies undetectable by conventional means, including anti-gravity or space-time manipulation. Such bases are purportedly used for a variety of clandestine activities, such as research on alien lifeforms, reverse-engineering alien tech, and conducting experiments that are deemed too sensitive for surface-level scrutiny. Geophysical anomalies, unexplained seismic activity, and anomalous radiation detected in certain areas support these claims. Many researchers argue that these facilities operate beyond the oversight of public authorities, with a significant portion of their purpose remaining classified. The potential for ongoing exchange with extraterrestrials, possibly involving human-alien hybrids or hybridization programs, adds another layer of intrigue to the existence and purpose of these underground bases.
4. The Deep State and Alien Alliances
The concept of a “deep state” suggests a clandestine network within government structures, operating independently of elected officials and with its own agenda. Some theories posit that since the Eisenhower administration in the 1950s, this secretive group has formed alliances with extraterrestrial civilizations. These alliances are thought to facilitate covert exchanges of technology, knowledge, and possibly biological materials. Allegedly, these secret agreements have shaped military strategies, advanced scientific research, and even influence global political decisions, all concealed from the public eye. Evidence cited by proponents includes classified documents leaked over the years, eyewitness accounts from insiders, and unexplained phenomena linked to government projects. The deep state’s involvement with aliens could explain the rapid technological advances and the suppression of revolutionary innovations from the public domain. Critics argue that this network aims to maintain power, control the dissemination of alien technology, and prevent public awareness of extraterrestrial contact. The alleged ongoing alliances could involve shadow organizations that manipulate key global events, including conflicts and economic policies, to serve their hidden agenda. This clandestine relationship between humans and extraterrestrials remains one of the most enduring and controversial topics in modern conspiracy theories.
Why Is the Truth Still Hidden? The Power of Disinformation and Denial
Despite mounting testimonies and leaked evidence, official acknowledgment remains elusive. Several reasons contribute:
The Powerful Stakeholders Governments and defense industries are primary stakeholders in maintaining secrecy surrounding sensitive information. These entities often prioritize national security, technological superiority, and strategic advantages over transparency. They may withhold information to safeguard their methods and innovations, which could be compromised if openly disclosed. The fear of potential vulnerabilities or threats that could arise from revealing advanced technologies means that they often restrict access and control the dissemination of such evidence. Additionally, these organizations might be concerned about losing their competitive edge in global military and technological arenas, leading to deliberate suppression of the truth. This desire to retain dominance and prevent adversaries from gaining insights results in extensive cover-ups and guarded silence, making the truth about certain extraordinary phenomena exceedingly difficult for the public to access or verify.
Public Panic and Religious Concerns
The potential disclosure of certain truths could provoke widespread alarm and upheaval within society. For many, the revelation of extraterrestrial activity or advanced alien technology might challenge existing religious beliefs and worldviews. Religious institutions and communities may view such information as threatening to their doctrines or existential understanding, fearing chaos or loss of faith. Governments, aware of this, often weigh the societal stability against transparency, choosing to suppress or delay disclosure to prevent panic or social unrest. Historically, major revelations have led to upheaval in communities; thus, authorities might suppress information to maintain order and prevent mass hysteria. In some cases, fears that the truth could undermine societal cohesion or religious doctrines motivate official and unofficial entities to conceal the reality, favoring a gradual and controlled approach to disclosure.
Protection of Secret Technologies
One of the critical reasons behind the concealment of evidence of alien technology is the risk of exposing cutting-edge innovations. Revealing reverse-engineered alien tech could revolutionize multiple sectors—military, aerospace, and communication systems—and destabilize existing economic and strategic balances. Governments and corporations work tirelessly to develop and protect their technological advancements, often under strict secrecy, to remain competitive and secure. If such alien technologies were to be fully understood and disseminated, they could render current military systems obsolete or vulnerable, potentially leading to new forms of warfare or economic dominance. The implications extend beyond security; industrial espionage and intellectual property theft could also threaten national interests. Therefore, there's immense motivation to keep this technology under wraps until the authorities deem it safe or advantageous to disclose or control it.
Disinformation Campaigns
Disinformation is an active strategy employed by various actors to manipulate public perception and control information flow. State and non-state entities may deliberately spread false narratives to hide the truth and create confusion. These campaigns can include falsified reports, planted evidence, and doctored images or videos, all aimed at misleading or distracting the public from genuine facts. By doing so, they maintain the status quo, reduce the credibility of whistleblowers, and shape public opinion in their favor. Disinformation can also serve to divert attention from ongoing investigations or sensitive technological developments. The strategic use of false information ensures that the truth remains obscured within layers of propaganda, making it difficult for the general public—not to mention independent researchers—to discern fact from fiction. This layered deceit bolsters control over the narrative and hampers efforts to uncover the reality.
The Broader Implications: Understanding Humanity’s Place in the Cosmos
If the claims about Eisenhower’s meetings and ongoing extraterrestrial contacts are true, this realization would fundamentally change humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe. It would challenge long-held beliefs about our civilization’s uniqueness and could lead to unprecedented scientific, philosophical, and spiritual developments.
Furthermore, it would reshape geopolitical realities, as alliances with extraterrestrial species would eclipse traditional power structures.
Conclusion: The Iceberg Still Has Much Beneath the Surface
The narrative that Eisenhower engaged in secret meetings with extraterrestrials is compelling, supported by anecdotes, leaked documents, and circumstantial evidence. However, what makes this truly intriguing is the assertion that these incidents are just "the tip of the iceberg."
A multitude of reports, ongoing covert programs, underground facilities, and testimonies suggest that the U.S. government, and perhaps other nations, have been engaged in clandestine extraterrestrial dealings for decades or even longer. The full scope of these interactions remains hidden from the public eye, and the truth appears to be far more expansive and complex than most realize.
As new declassified documents, whistleblower testimonies, and technological advancements emerge, the veil shielding this hidden reality may gradually lift. Until then, the story of Eisenhower’s alien meetings—and what they represent—remains a compelling chapter in the broader, unfolding mystery of humanity’s extraterrestrial encounter.

It's one of the biggest unanswered questions in science: if there's life beyond Earth, why hasn't it contacted us yet?
Now, a scientist claims to have the answer – and it suggests aliens are more similar to us than we thought.
Dr Robin Corbet, an astrophysicist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, thinks aliens got bored of trying to find us and simply stopped looking.
In a new paper, he suggests extraterrestrial civilizations are only a little bit more technologically advanced than us.
As a result, they reached the upper limit of what their technology is capable of, gave up and lost interest.
'In the mundane perspective, where other civilizations are not that much more advanced, a limit to exploration would arise,' said Dr Corbet.
However, with humanity's present spacecraft speeds, it would take around 100,000 years to reach it.
Films like 'ET' (pictured) and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' suggest aliens are sophisticated enough reach other worlds - but an expert claims they might only be a bit more clever than us
For decades, sci-fi films and comics have depicted aliens as sophisticated civilizations using technology beyond our comprehension.
This may have fueled the assumption that they are capable of successfully beaming messages to other planets, including our own.
For example, they could send out 'swarms of interstellar robotic probes' or powerful beacons in the form of light or sound that could be detected across the galaxy.
Films like 'ET' and 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' even suggest they're able to visit other worlds in their high-powered spaceships.
But according to Dr Corbet, extraterrestrials might not be able to do this because their technology level is only a bit ahead of us – akin to 'an iPhone 42 rather than an iPhone 17'.
In fact, their technology may not include 'significant leaps equivalent to harnessing electricity or rely on as yet unknown laws of physics', he says in his paper.
Even if aliens do have a capable beacon transmitter, it is not clear that there would be 'much motivation' to operate it for millions or billions of years until their signal is noticed.
What's more, significant colonization or exploration of the galaxy would 'have to have benefits that outweigh the costs', he adds. If life on Earth is any indicator, costly projects would get ditched if they soon prove too difficult.

Do aliens exist?
If you ask an astronomer if aliens exist, the high likelihood is they'll say yes.
The universe is mind-bogglingly vast and we have only explored a very tiny fragment of it, so there's bound to be some other form of life out there.
According to Erik Zackrisson, an astrophysicist at Uppsala University in Sweden, there are 70 quintillion planets in the universe - that's 7 followed by 20 zeroes.
So the very fact we exist here on Earth would make it incredibly unlikely that nowhere else in the universe has some kind of conscious life too.
However, some detractors cite the Fermi paradox - the fact there's a lack of evidence for extraterrestrials despite various high estimates for their probability. In other words, if there is alien life, why have we not found any evidence for it?
Dr Corbet's theory, known as the 'radically mundane' theory, offers an answer to the 'Fermi paradox' – the apparent contradiction between the lack of evidence for alien civilizations and high estimates for their probability.
In effect, the paradox asks, if there is so much extraterrestrial life, why have we not found any evidence for it?
Simply, it could be that lifeforms in the universe are stuck in the same boat, in the sense that no one quite has the capacity to do so.
Alternatively, some aliens do have the technology but are so far away from us to make it impossible.
'The Fermi paradox may be explained if the galaxy contains a modest number of technological civilizations, with technology levels that, while more advanced than contemporary Earth, are nowhere near the 'super-science' levels that could result in readily detectable astro-engineering,' Dr Corbet concludes in his paper, yet to be peer-reviewed.
While it might sound compelling, Professor Michael Garrett, director of the Jodrell Bank Centre for Astrophysics in Manchester, voiced reservations regarding the radically mundane theory.
'It projects a very human-like apathy on to the rest of the cosmos,' he told the Guardian.
'I find it hard to believe that all intelligent life would be so uniformly dull.'
Extraterrestrial life has never been discovered, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist (file photo)
Dr Gordon Gallup, a biopsychologist at the University of Albany, said in a 2022 paper: 'If there is intelligent life elsewhere, they may view humans as extremely dangerous.
'Maybe this is why there is no proof or compelling evidence of extraterrestrial intelligence – we pose too great a risk, and they do not want to be discovered.'
Alternatively, aliens are unrecognizable because they are so far advanced and have transcended to a different realm, another theory alleges.
According to Mark Buchanan, a physicist and writer in the UK, the best way to make contact with alien life would be to send light signals because they travel so fast.
'And there are many ways to send signals of a kind that do not get changed by any natural process, so another civilization would see them as coming from an intelligence,' he told the Daily Mail.
The Fermi Paradox questions why, given the estimated 200-400 billion stars and at least 100 billion planets in our galaxy, there have been no signs of alien life.
The contradiction is named after its creator, Italian physicist Enrico Fermi.
He first posed the question back in 1950.
Fermi believed it was too extraordinary that a single extra-terrestrial signal or engineering project has yet to be detected in the universe — despite its immense vastness.
Fermi concluded there must a barrier that limits the rise of intelligent, self-aware, technologically advanced space-colonising civilisations.
This barrier is sometimes referred to as the 'Great Filter'.
Italian physicist Enrico Fermi devised the so-called Fermi Paradox in the 1950s, which explores why there is no sign of alien life, despite the 100 billion planets in our galaxy
If the main obstacle preventing the colonisation of other planets is not in our past, then the barrier that will stop humanity's prospects of reaching other worlds must lie in our future, scientists have theorised.
Professor Brian Cox believes the advances in science and engineering required by a civilisation to start conquering the stars will ultimately lead to its destruction.
He said: 'One solution to the Fermi Paradox is that it is not possible to run a world that has the power to destroy itself.
‘It may be that the growth of science and engineering inevitably outstrips the development of political expertise, leading to disaster.'
Other possible explanations for the Fermi Paradox include that intelligent alien species are out there, but lack the necessary technology to communicate with Earth.
Some believe that the distances between intelligent civilisations are too great to allow any kind of two-way communication.
If two worlds are separated by several thousand light years, it's possible that one or both civilisations would become extinct before a dialogue can be established.
The so-called Zoo hypothesis claims intelligent alien life is out there, but deliberately avoids any contact with life on Earth to allow its natural evolution

Terry Lovelace Alien Abduction Is Most Convincing UFO Encounter With Biological Evidence
Terry Lovelace Alien Abduction Is Most Convincing UFO Encounter With Biological Evidence
By Vicky Verma
Due to the lack of evidence, validating abduction accounts is challenging, resulting in abductees often not being taken seriously in the UFO community. Although some stories of abductions can be entertaining and well-crafted, most of them are fabricated. However, there is a particularly compelling incident.
Terry Lovelace, a retired assistant attorney general and lawyer, who served as a media and EMT in the United States Air Force from 1973 to 1979, claims that an extraterrestrial craft took him. Lovelace’s account is fascinating and one of the few plausible and credible abduction stories.
In 1973, Lovelace joined the U.S. Air Force immediately after graduating from high school. He received training as a medic/EMT and was stationed at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri, which was previously called Sedalia Air Force Base. The base served as a B-2 bomber base and missile base and was home to the 351st Strategic Missile Wing, with many Minuteman II nuclear-armed ICBM silos scattered across the rural area.
Lovelace was assigned as a base medic and drove an ambulance during the graveyard shift from 11 PM to 8 AM along with his partner, who he referred to as “Toby.” One night in January 1975, while on their regular shift, they were outside the ambulance stargazing when Toby, an amateur astronomer, pointed out the constellations and planets. Typically, their shifts were uneventful, but that night turned out to be very significant, altering the course of their lives.
Lovelace (now 69) went camping with Toby at Devil’s Den state park in northern Arkansas. While conversing near a crackling fire, they had difficulty hearing each other due to the loud sounds of crickets and tree frogs. Suddenly, an eerie silence enveloped them. “That sounds kind of clichéd – out of a movie – but that is exactly what happened to us,” he said.
As they gazed toward the horizon, three bright UFOs emerged and advanced in their direction. As the lights drew closer, the two partners could see that they were emanating from a black triangular prism as wide as two city blocks.

Lovelace noticed a blue laser beam rapidly moving across them, possibly scanning their presence. Soon after it stopped, they lost consciousness. Upon awakening, he noticed Toby gazing outside the tent, and spotted a triangle-shaped object hovering above a group of approximately twelve children who were standing in a meadow below them. Lovelace questioned, “Why are these children out here at this time of night?”
“They aren’t little kids. Don’t you remember they took us and they hurt us?” Toby answered.
According to Lovelace, when Toby uttered those words, he experienced a sudden recall of memories of being inside a UFO. In later years, he resorted to hypnosis to recover his missing memories. Through one of these sessions, Lovelace recollected an incident where he had been taken aboard a spacecraft and subjected to medical experimentation by peculiar entities.
Those entities were humanoid forms, but their characteristics were distorted and almost non-human. They communicated with each other through telepathy and seemed to be performing a medical procedure on Lovelace. During his hypnosis sessions, Lovelace experienced flashes of memory where he was on an examination table and screaming, but no sound was coming out of his mouth. He could hear telepathic messages in his head, urging him to stop screaming because they did not intend to harm him and would take him back.
Lovelace said that they had a terrible experience that left their skin red and sore like a bad sunburn all over their body, even the soles of their feet. They had to go to the hospital at the base for two days because they were very dehydrated.
While they were there, they were questioned many times by some men who said they were from the “Office of Special Investigations.” They searched his home and car for a camera that Lovelace said he did not have, but they did not believe him. They also told him not to see his partner Toby again, who was sent to another base. The whole experience made Lovelace have nightmares and affected him mentally for a long time.
Terry Lovelace was profoundly disturbed by his encounter and left with numerous unanswered queries. Subsequently, he authored a book titled “Incident at Devils Den: A True Story,” with the intention of uncovering the facts about extraterrestrial abductions and inspiring others to share their experiences.
During a routine X-ray of his leg in 2012, it was discovered that Lovelace had a piece of metal embedded in his leg, about the size of a fingernail, with tiny wires protruding from it. This object resembled a computer chip, with two small wires extending toward his head, though it was unclear how far they went.

Additionally, several other implants of varying shapes were detected, but only six out of the twenty-four images taken were provided to Lovelace, with the remainder claimed to have been destroyed. Moreover, a group of objects arranged in a floral pattern, similar in size to Tic Tacs, were found embedded in his calf muscle.
The most astonishing aspect of this discovery was that there were no signs of incision or surgery on Lovelace’s leg, and the radiologist who detected the object claimed that it was impossible to breach the skin’s integrity without leaving a scar. These implants were seemingly inserted into his body by unconventional means, and the radiologist referred to the situation as “disturbing,” noting that he had never encountered anything similar.

On his personal blog, Lovelace writes: “September of 2017, I was a guest speaker at a UFO event in Houston. It was my first public appearance and opportunity to speak candidly on the topic of alien abduction. This was the time when I decided to write a book. It’s an important topic. We deserve to be informed and not mislead.
I fear we’ve been desensitized about the UFO phenomena by the media especially the motion picture industry. Close Encounters of the Third Kind was released in November 1977. my experience happened in June that same year. Now, YouTube provides a flood of valid information mixed with confabulation and deception. Know the truth. Alien’s really exist and some live and walk among us without so much as a second look. There are probably many species from different worlds or different dimensions here on Earth today.
Some aliens may actually be our ‘benign space brothers’ as some have claimed. Here to join hands and walk mankind into a new era of peace and higher consciousness. Maybe so, but not the ones we met. The beings we met were monsters. They kidnap people and subject them to terror and brutality in pursuit of their agenda. They are 100% purpose-driven and void of empathy for human or animal suffering. We are their lab rats. Once you’re tagged as their specimen you’re tagged for a lifetime. Like a wild animal on the Serengeti Plane.”
Five years ago, Terry Lovelace published a book that caused significant issues, leading to a year-long harassment incident over his home outside Dallas. Lovelace reports that following the book’s publicity, military aircraft, including two and four-seaters, as well as Airbus 350s with no registered “N” numbers, flew over his house. These aircraft, which were drab-olive in color, were spotted making flyovers at least twice a week, often every day. Lovelace captured many photos of the incidents, including one that appears to show a UFO in the same frame as one of the intruding aircraft.

After publishing a book about his experience, Lovelace received a call from Tom DeLonge, founder of To The Stars Academy, along with General Neil McCasland and Lue Elizondo, who were interested in the X-rays of Lovelace’s leg, which had been injured during the encounter.
Bill Cox writes:
“I can attest to the fact that TTSA was interested in speaking with Terry regarding possible biological effects that he may have suffered,” states former AATIP manager Elizondo in an email. “Biological effects (are) a potential serious aspect of what we studied in AATIP and we now know that certain elements with the U.S. Government are equally concerned as we were. If Terry is suffering any medical consequences as a result of an alleged encounter with a UAP while serving in the military, then he deserves medical care.
“It is my experience that helicopters of unknown utility have been reported by certain individuals. It is not yet known if this is some sort of intentional harassment or simply a matter of being near a congested flight corridor. Obviously, flying a helicopter is expensive and logistically intense if this were some sort of campaign to intimidate individuals on a regular basis. We would need to do additional research to better determine the nature of these incidents,” he added, “before making any sort of proclamation.
“Terry is a good person who is also credible. I believe Terry and others are convinced their experiences are legitimate.”
Podiatric surgeon and Ufologist Roger Leir investigated alleged alien implants found in Terry Lovelace’s body. The implants were discovered to contain rare elements, some of which are only found in meteorites and do not naturally occur on Earth. This raises questions about how Terry ended up with foreign implants in his body without surgical insertion, and adds credibility to his compelling abduction story.
The Strangest thing about Saturn is that this Man, who worked on the Voyager missions, said he discovered Enormous, Living, Electromagnetic Vehicles inhabiting its Rings.
Dr. Norman Bergrun concluded, based on his analysis of Voyager 1 and 2 data, which he detailed in his 1985 book, Ringmakers of Saturn, that he discovered enormous, living, electromagnetic vehicles inhabiting the rings of Saturn.
Dr. Bergrun, who had worked for NASA, claimed that there were massive alien spacecraft proliferating in the rings of Saturn. He is the author of the books “Ringmakers of Saturn” and “Tomorrows Technology Today,” which document the existence of extraterrestrial vehicles of immense power. A scientist who pioneered the methodology of thermal ice prevention design, he is also credited with roll-stability laws for airplanes and missiles
Dr. Bergrun was manager of test planning and analysis for the Polaris Underwater Launch Missile System and evaluated satellite system applications. Also a director of Information Systems, he founded his own company in 1971 and is cited in “Who’s Who in the World” and other reference works. He was an alumnus of Ames Research Laboratory, NACA (National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics), predecessor of Ames Research Center, NASA, where he worked for 12 years as a research scientist.
Dr. Norman Bergrun played a key role in the Voyager missions, the probes that were sent out to photograph Saturn, its rings, and its moons. There is a photo shown below from that mission, which he was able to obtain from the agency of a large unidentified flying object hovering just outside Saturn’s rings. It is huge, approximately the size of Earth, and is published in his book, “Ringmakers of Saturn.”
Dr. Bergrun claimed that these rings were not made of ice and rock as is commonly believed, but were actually the exhaust from these massive craft, which he calls “ringmakers.” He asserted that these vehicles are proliferating and are now also present at Jupiter and Uranus, creating new rings on planets that previously had none.
He suggested these vehicles had strong nuclear power sources and advanced electromagnetic technology. They appeared capable of creating massive electrical fields, lightning bolts larger than those on Earth, and disturbances across the entire ring system.
Dr. Bergrun recounted his professional history, mentioning his work at Lockheed on the first generation of the Polaris underwater launch vehicle. This had led him to work in a top-secret area behind closed doors, where he had been required to sign a 30-year non-disclosure agreement.
He explained that he eventually left this role due to “claustrophobia,” clarifying that it was not a fear of small spaces but rather the mental strain of being confined to the same secret room day after day.
It was during this period that he received his first clue about unusual things in space after being given a set of data that no one else could make sense of. When he plotted it, he realized that it showed something strange. (Source)
He claimed that he faced significant opposition and cover-ups from official bodies such as NASA. He recounted a story about a source allegedly connected to NASA who asked him how he had found a particular image from the moon, remarking, “I thought we darkened that enough that you wouldn’t find it.”
Dr. Bergrun also stated that his personal data and images, which he had stored in a supposedly impenetrable vault, were tampered with. He claimed that unknown parties had “garbled” his files on laptops and disks, sometimes erasing them completely. Despite this interference, he believed he did not need the old data because he was so familiar with the subject that he could reconstruct his work at any time.

Regarding the purpose of thesevehicles, Dr. Bergrun disagreed with the theory that they were mining the rings. Instead, he suggested that they were “nursing” from the rings, using them as a source of energy to power themselves and to create new, smaller vehicles that later grew, much like living organisms.
He was open to the idea that they might also fly close to the sun to “get pumped up” with energy, since their apparent ability to withstand extreme heat made that possible.
According to him, these could not be fully explained by natural processes. He suggested that the vehicles had electromagnetic capabilities and emitted streams of material, which then formed the rings and gaps seen around Saturn. He gave examples and measurements to support his claims, and pointed to historical observations by Galileo and others that showed unexplained phenomena.
Dr. Bergrun also claimed that similar effects were seen on some of Saturn’s moons. He described mysterious lighting and unusual markings, which he thought were possible “scars” left by the vehicles. He went even further, suggesting that Earth’s Moon, the Tunguska explosion in Siberia, and strange weather events might all be related to visits or actions by these powerful spacecraft.
He argued that these vehicles are evidence of a super-advanced intelligence in the universe and that they have been visiting our solar system for a long time. Bergrun warned that their power could pose risks if not understood, but also noted that they might not necessarily threaten humanity directly.
Dr. Bergrun believed that the situation was becoming “critical” because the activity was increasing, as evidenced by the new rings appearing around Uranus and Jupiter.
His urgency was not necessarily from the idea that the craft were coming to Earth, but from his sense that there was a strong possibility they could, and that the public and the scientific community had to be made to understand that these objects were real.
He noted that his conclusions were too controversial for his professional organization to address. He distinguished between his work, which he said was based on data, and the “theories” of others, such as John Lear’s idea that Saturn was a portal into another dimension.
He also touched on other topics, including his belief that humans were not capable of communicating with these entities, which rendered efforts by organizations like SETI ineffective.
He confirmed that plasma had been scientifically measured in Saturn’s rings, which he saw as supporting his claims. When asked about the hexagonal shape seen at Saturn’s north pole, he acknowledged it but regarded it simply as another geometric form that these advanced entities were capable of creating, rather than holding a special symbolic meaning.
Finally, he revealed that he had spent ten years earning a law degree so that he could better understand the mindset of the people “running the country,” whom he felt often made decisions without comprehending the underlying science.
He died on July 1, 2018, at Tracy Nursing and Rehabilitation Center at the age of 96. Unfortunately, Dr. Bergun was just another name on the list of NASA whistleblowers who are forgotten and ignored due to a lack of followers and media attention

Ret. US Army Colonel Claimed Aliens In Roswell UFO Crash Were Bio-Robots Built For Space Travel
Ret. US Army Colonel Claimed Aliens In Roswell UFO Crash Were Bio-Robots Built For Space Travel
By Vicky Verma
The information about the Roswell crash and so-called Extraterrestrial Biological Entities revealed by retired US Army Officer Philip James Corso was a breathtaking move in the history of UFOlogy. In his 21 years of serving, he claimed to have alleged involvement in the research of extraterrestrial technology recovered from the 1947 Roswell incident.
Born in 1915, Corso served in the US Army from 1942 to 1963, retiring from the rank of lieutenant colonel. According to him, the US policy was clear that UFOs and aliens do not exist. They were led to believe in it. But there were some great men who expressed themselves as believers. Some of them were Gen. Douglas McArthur, Gen. George Marshall, Werner Von Braun, President Ronald Reagan, Gen. Nathan Twining, Gen. Walter Bedell Smith, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, and many others
Corso emphasized that the advancement in the technology that the world achieved in the past decades could not be possible without the helo of other worlds. Scientists such as Dr. Herman Oberth, Stanton T. Friedman, Robert Sarbaeher, W.E. Smith, Dr. Werner Von Braun, etc., are disregarded or ridiculed when they say, “we cannot take the credit for our record advancements in certain scientific fields alone. We have been helped by people of other worlds.”

He highlighted the intervention of aliens in human history by referring to Sumerians who stated that the EBEs were the most advanced in the studies and manipulations of DNAs, who were adroit in cloning. “We believed that the beings of the Roswell crash were clones. The Sumerians called them IGIGIs. They were used to ferry the ‘Gods’ to earth and continuously stayed in subspace and circled the globe-earth,” Corso explained.
During his military career, Corso was granted nine clearances above “Top Secret.” These included cryptographic, satellites, code and intercept special operational clearances, and the “Eyes Only” category of special White House (NSC) matters. This allowed him to have an eye on matters within the government which included UFO information.
He was the Chief of the Foreign Technology Division in the US army R&D. He received the piece of information that a sample recovered from the Western US desert was believed to be from a UFO. The material had immense strength but at the same time was as light as feather. It was perfect for space travel and no space debris could harm it.
Corso concluded UFOs existed. His team had reports of objects from a mother ship and they believe what was recovered were parts of sphere-type probes. Usually, four or five of these came from every saucer. He further explained that the radar images of formations are probably these probes surrounding one or two flying saucers. They dissolved in a transparent alignment of atoms.
On visiting the crash site, Corso was convinced that it was the UFO. His faith in UFOs came from his work in R&D, where the radars once locked an object flying over 3000 miles an hour.
Upon examination of the items recovered from the crashed craft, a harness-type system was discovered. Corso argued that many technical discoveries that appeared in the following decades, such as Kevlar body armor, optical fiber, transistors, night vision devices, and the integrated circuit chip were a direct result of what scientists studied and found inside the alien spacecraft. He also claimed that his job had been to transfer the alien technology to American companies.
The craft inside was illuminated by a yellow-greenish light. The light appeared to emit from solid metal, possibly a variation of the atom alignment within the structural members of the craft. This was discovered early from small pieces. When a light was applied at one end, the whole piece would light up and glow. This was thought to be a variation of the fiber optic tubes. It is not known if the source of the yellow-greenish light or glow was ever found.
Co-authors of ‘The Day After Roswell,’ Bill Birnes and Col. Philip Corso.
In 1957, while in command of the Army’s Missile Firing Range at Red Canyon, New Mexico, part of the White Sands Proving Grounds, Coros came up against a most perplexing problem. There had been much speculation that UFOs engage in time travel. He later discussed this with German scientists and they were of the opinion that this was the fact – the UFOs’ terrific acceleration and flashy disappearance and appearance is caused by exit and entry into a time dimension.
An interesting version that Corso advanced was that the two UFOs were entering our time zone at the same instant, they collided. One went on to crash at Roswell, the other was damaged and debris fell into our time zone. It accelerated at terrific speed, exceeding its own limits, and fell, just west of Red Canyon, in the White Sands area, but it had gained 10 years and crashed in 1957.
In 1997, Corso and writer William J. Birnes published a book that revealed many secrets and mysteries that took place during the events of Roswell in 1947. The book “The Day After Roswell” immediately became a sensation among UFO researchers and conspiracy theorists.
In the book, there are so many strong revelations about aliens that even ufologists considered it partly fictional or much exaggerated. At the same time, Corso suddenly died of an unexpected heart attack just a few months after the publication of his book. Conspiracy theorists believed that he was simply silenced by higher authorities because he had revealed many things.
In general, according to all the facts stated above, it does not prove that in the late 1990s, he was influenced by extraterrestrial beings. He also repeatedly participated in interviews with the American late-night radio talk show “Coast to Coast AM.”
He had repeatedly argued that the US government was hiding the truth about UFOs and aliens to profit from it in the tech sector. In the book, he described not only the UFO technology but also talked about the alien bodies found during the crash.
According to him,Grey aliens, also referred to as Zeta Reticulans, were not really aliens, but bio machines specially created to work on other planets. He wrote that as far as he knew, no one had encountered real aliens, and all eyewitnesses or abductees had seen only big-headed and black-eyed “bio machines."
To prove his claim, Corso described what he had seen during the autopsy. He wrote that those aliens were without any digestive system, and their bodies were linked to the spacecraft as if they were controlled through ships.
He wrote further that those extraterrestrial biological objects, as indicated in the autopsy reports, were humanoid robots specially designed to travel long distances in space and time.
Astronomers have observed stars that are accelerating through space at a shockingly rapid pace. Normally this is assumed to relate to gravitational forces in some way, or to the natural emissions of the stars that might be causing them to move at unusually fast rates.
But one researcher has a different idea about why some stars or star systems seem to be moving more rapidly than normally, presumably dragging their planets along with them as they go. According to Clement Vidal, a philosopher from Vrije University Brussels in Belgium who has an interest in astronomy, these traveling solar systems may have been converted into fast-moving “spaceships” by advanced alien civilizations looking to explore other areas of the Milky Way galaxy.
The Solar System as UFO
Assuming for a moment they developed the technology to actually accomplish such a thing, an alien civilization might have various motivations for propelling their entire solar system through space.
“Two universal evolutionary motivations will make interstellar travel a necessity to any long-lived civilization: survival and reproduction,” Vidal wrote in a non-peer-reviewed paper about his concept published through Cornell University.
Such a civilization might want to escape the vicinity of a nearby supernova that threatens their star system’s existence. Or they might be running out of resources on their home planet, and decide to move to another part of their galaxy where resources might be plentiful. Or they could simply be explorers driven by curiosity or a sense of adventure. They might even be forced to take such action as a response to attacks from other alien civilizations.
Rather than constructing ships that would carry just a few of them through space as astronauts, these aliens could take everyone along for the ride, with their solar system traveling through space on the ultimate voyage of discovery. While the journey to another solar system in a different part of the galaxy would be a long one, since the entire civilization was taking the trip together the passing of the time wouldn’t really be noticed.
Binary star system R Aquarii, located 700 light-years from Earth.
This is an astonishing proposal, but it is based on an idea that has been around for a long time. The idea of creating a “stellar engine” (a star that could be used to power space travel) was first conceived of by science fiction writer Olaf Stapledon in 1937, and the concept has always been considered sound—impractical perhaps, but not totally out of the realm of possibility.
In his theoretical study, Vidal proposes that binary star systems would make the best candidates to be converted into spaceships. The particular types of binary systems he identifies are known as spidar pulsars and redback pulsars, and each consists of a star that is smaller than our sun revolving around a dense neutron star with a powerful gravitational field.
In such systems the neutron stars create an enormous amount of energy. They do this through the combination of their rapid rotation (rapidly spinning stars are known as pulsars) and the gravitational forces they generate, the latter of which causes high-powered ejections of materials from their partner stars.
It is these forces, Vidal says, that could be controlled or redirected by an advanced alien civilization to actually propel an entire star system through space at a high rate of speed. The idea would be to take control of the pattern of ejections by the neutron’s companion star, and to point them in a specific direction. This would essentially turn that star into a massive rocket, propelling the solar system and all of its inhabitants toward the region of space they would like to explore. Making changes of direction in the material ejection patterns would allow the alien engineers to steer their moving solar systems, giving them total control over their final destination.
An alien civilization would have to be enormously advanced to have developed the technology necessary to manipulate stellar forces. But if they were, converting their entire solar system into a spaceship could be feasible and logical, Vidal argues, and in such a circumstance there would be no shortage of reasons why such a civilization might want to put this idea into practice.
Let the Investigation Begin!
It would be easy to dismiss an idea like this as 100-percent speculation, rooted in science fiction more than science reality. But it is an idea that can be investigated, which is really all that Clement Vidal is recommending that astronomers do.
In fact scientists have already looked closely at the anomalous movements of hypervelocity stars, strange objects that were apparently ejected from the center of the Milky Way after passing too close to a black hole. Astronomers have identified and analyzed 16 hypervelocity stars so far, but as Vidal readily admits none of them show movement patterns that would suggest they are under intelligent control.
Vidal is convinced, however, that binary star systems with the neutron star-small companion star arrangement would make the best stellar engines, because of their unique gravitational dynamics. In fact, he has already identified two candidates that match the characteristics of the solar systems he wants investigated. These are a “black widow” pulsar designated PSR J0610-2100, and a "redback" pulsar known as PSR J2043+1711. Both of these binary star systems are accelerating, and as of now there is no good explanation for that.

And just last year, Vidal notes, NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory spotted five more binary pulsar systems like these in the Omega Centauri globular cluster, a grouping of 10 million stars that are about 17,000 light-years from earth. Vidal’s idea is that the movement patterns of all of these binary star systems should be closely analyzed, to see if they show any signs of speeding up or slowing down, changing direction, moving faster than predicted, and so on.
“I see the highlighted spider stellar engine candidates and predictions as promising starting points and clues that require further attention, observation, modeling, and follow-up,” he wrote.
Should such evidence be observed, it would of course not prove these solar systems were being driven across the galaxy by aliens. But if any of them are, perhaps one day thousands of years in the future they will decide to park in orbit for awhile around our sun and stop in for a visit. Should this ever happen, the result would be the largest and most spectacular mass UFO sighting in world history, followed up by actual alien contact.

UFO crash buried in ice in Antarctica, UFO UAP sighting news. 👽 Alien owned Earth 🌍 long before humans.
UFO crash buried in ice in Antarctica, UFO UAP sighting news. 👽 Alien owned Earth 🌍 long before humans.
Date of discovery: October 8, 2025
Location of discovery: Antartica
Coordinates: 77°51'48"S 165°13'40"E
I found this last night and just wanted to share it with you all. This is a 50 meter in diameter alien disk parked in Antarctica. The UFO is buried in ice and snow for what looks like hundreds of thousands of years, but due to recent melting...it's been exposed! The UFO is 100% real. There is a two layer visible hump that has port windows of about 2 feet across going around its lower second hump. This means it 100% real and undebatable! No doubt in my mind. The country that retrieves this first is going to become a new world power overnight!
Following the revelation surrounding the David Grusch incident, the United States Senate is under immense pressure to address the unfolding circumstances. Alongside Grusch, another individual of paramount significance, Lue Elizondo, holds a wealth of concealed information pertaining to the Pentagon’s covert UFO program. Elizondo is widely regarded as the cornerstone of this entire UFO disclosure endeavor.
David Grusch & Elizondo have provided credence to Italy’s UFO crash incident, which plays a significant role in the whole UAP subject as it superseded the famous Roswell crash. Moreover, Elizondo has said many times in various interviews that we have evidence of highly advanced crafts that are perhaps not made by humans.
Did Elizondo See an Extraterrestrial Craft in a Government Facility?
Speculation surrounds Lue Elizondo’s claim of witnessing an extraterrestrial craft in a government facility. Despite constraints due to nondisclosure agreements, Elizondo has hinted at the existence of unidentified debris in interviews. He emphasized the importance of collecting evidence, including material science analysis, to discern engineered or natural origins.
In a blog post from May 2021, UFO researcher Joe Murgia discusses the possibility that Elizondo may have witnessed an extraterrestrial craft in a government facility. Murgia highlights an interview where Dr. Steven Greer shares information from Daniel Sheehan, stating that Elizondo had informed him about personally encountering an actual extraterrestrial vehicle stored in a facility. This revelation aligns with Elizondo’s previous statements on the matter.
“Daniel Sheehan has also shared, and this is even more explosive, that Luis Elizondo has informed him that he in fact has been in a facility, where an actual extraterrestrial vehicle was stored. Now, why is that important? Because he’s all over the news… saying we don’t know what these are,” Dr. Steven Greer said.
Elizondo appeared on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” in May 2019, where he cautiously acknowledged the existence of debris from unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) in the possession of the U.S. government. When pressed further, Elizondo expressed his limitations due to non-disclosure agreements, but he confirmed the presence of such materials.
Tucker Carlson: “Do you believe, based on your decade of serving in the U.S. government, on this question, that the U.S. government has in its possession any material from one of these aircrafts?”
Luis Elizondo:“Woe. Umm…I do, yes.”
Tucker Carlson: “You think the U.S. government has debris from a UFO in its possession right now?”
Luis Elizondo: “Unfortunately, Tucker, I really have to be careful of my NDA. I really can’t go into a lot of…more detail than that.”
Tucker Carlson: “Okay.”
Luis Elizondo: “But… simply put, yes.”
Another instance occurred in February 2021, when Elizondo participated in an interview on “Spaced Out Radio.” During the interview, Dave Scott asked Lue Elizondo if he had ever encountered a gray being with distinct features such as big, black eyes, silverish or brown skin tone, a slit mouth, barely any nose, and three fingers. In response, Elizondo acknowledged that he had witnessed extraordinary things in his life, but he was cautious not to influence the audience’s perception.
Elizondo emphasized that he had encountered compelling situations where he required more data to draw conclusions. Although Scott probed further by asking if such encounters scared him, Elizondo clarified that fear was not primarily associated with this topic. Instead, he expressed greater concern about being prevented from asking questions or lacking the freedom to inquire.
Elizondo asserted that the ability to engage in conversations about potentially existential matters for our species was vital, and he considered the inability to ask questions a more significant threat than uncomfortable answers. For Elizondo, the pursuit of knowledge and understanding outweighed any personal fears or anxieties, unless faced with physical harm.
Elizondo’s discussions regarding evidence and analysis continued during an interview with Steve Greenstreet in May 2021. Drawing an analogy to investigating a car accident, Elizondo expressed the significance of examining the physical properties and molecular composition of material evidence to determine whether it was engineered or naturally occurring. This emphasis on material science as a gold standard indicates the desire to collect comprehensive data under the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP).
Steven Greenstreet: “In your analogy, you said the vehicle itself is part of the evidence. You go up to it, you look at it, you examine it. Was that happening with AATIP?”
Luis Elizondo: “Wow, great question. I’ve gotta be careful how I answer this. That certainly would be preferred. The intent of AATIP was to try to collect as much and any information and evidence as possible, period. Whether it was electro-optical or electromagnetic or whatever. And certainly, material science is certainly a gold standard. If you can get a piece of material and you can look at, not just its physical properties, but its molecular, chemical properties and ultimately its atomic properties, you can ascertain whether or not something has been engineered or manufactured or it’s a part of the natural environment.”
Finally, Elizondo appeared as a guest on Tucker Carlson’s show in May 2021, where he advocated for transparency and truthfulness in discussing UFO-related matters. Elizondo affirmed the existence of physical evidence pertaining to these objects and stressed the importance of further analysis. He acknowledged the possession of exotic materials by the U.S. government, which necessitates thorough examination and involvement of specialized expertise. Elizondo expressed concern about potential reprisals and highlighted the existence of individuals within certain government circles who are willing to conduct honest investigations and fulfill their patriotic duty.
Overall, it raises intriguing questions about Elizondo’s possible encounters with extraterrestrial crafts within government facilities, while also emphasizing the importance of transparency and comprehensive analysis in understanding these phenomena.
Additionally, Elizondo confirmed that there is photographic and video evidence of UFO and its occupants. In 2020, during an interview on Coast to Coast AM radio with investigative journalist George Knapp, former AATIP head Elizondo stated that the current UAP Task Force obtained images of multiple unknown aerial objects, including a clear image of a mysterious triangle emerging from the ocean, recorded by military pilots. (Click here to read the full article)
The object was described as a large triangle with “blunted” edges and spherical white “lights” on each corner, and the encounter is said to have occurred off the East Coast of the US. The pilots who encountered the object are believed to have been operating from either the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower or the USS John C. Stennis, both of which are Nimitz-class nuclear-powered supercarriers, which further deepens the apparent links between UFOs and man’s nuclear capabilities.
It is really shocking and weird that nobody paid attention to Luis Elizondo’s statement about “UFO Occupancy and biological samples.” With Curt Jaimungal on his Theories of Everything (TOE) podcast in 2021, Elizondo carefully hinted that “potentially” the U.S. government acquired otherworldly biological samples. He also suggested that the government has images of UAPs that appear to show beings inside them. (Click here to read the full article)
Elizondo resigned from the Pentagon in 2017, and has made several bold statements since then. In 2021, he stated to have seen the UFO footage, describing it as showing unidentified floating objects for 23 minutes. He made this revelation while talking to the YouTube channels Fade to Black and Witness Citizen UAP. During the talk, Elizondo revealed that the UFO video was extremely compelling.

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.

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.
The annals of UFO lore and the field of UFOs in general are littered with cases of supposed crashes of these crafts. For whatever reason, despite their incredibly mind-boggling technology, these things just sometimes go down, and they always make for a spectacular case that leaves many mysteries in its wake. Many UFO crashes are world famous, such as obviously the one that allegedly happened at Roswell, New Mexico, but some others are not nearly as well known, yet are just as mysterious and perplexing.
One rather obscure supposed UFO crash, considering its location, is the time one apparently exploded and crashed right on the fringes of the neon-studded gambling capital of the world, Las Vegas. The whole odd affair actually began all the way across the country, over in Oneida, New York, where on April 18, 1962, military radar stations began picking up an anomalous object that seemed to be moving west rapidly. As it did so, there began a series of reports marking its progress, as panicked witnesses from across the country saw what looked like a glowing red ball or "flaming sword" that was at times bright enough to make night seem like day.
These reports came from several states along its trajectory, including Colorado, Kansas, Arizona, and, most remarkably of all, in Eureka, Utah, where there would be a report that it had actually landed and caused massive electrical disruptions before taking to the sky again. Throughout all of this, the object was reportedly largely completely silent, and there was such a deluge of calls to authorities that fighter jets were even scrambled and put on alert at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona. The object headed towards Nevada, where it continued to be seen by hundreds of people as it approached Reno, then was witnessed to make a turn to head in the direction of Las Vegas, and this is where things would get even stranger. There was reportedly heard an enormous rumbling and then a thunderous boom and blinding flash of light, after which the object vanished both visually and off radar somewhere over Nellis Air Force Base, right out in the badlands just past the lights of Las Vegas.
The sheriff’s office for Clark County, Nevada, was apparently so flooded by calls from terrified residents who had heard the boom that it was thought that there had been an explosion and that perhaps an aircraft had gone down. A sheriff’s search party was sent out to the area where the object was last seen, yet there could be found no sign of a downed aircraft, and there were furthermore no reports of a missing aircraft from any airports in the region. Considering this, it was assumed that what had been seen was a meteor that had exploded in midair, and the military was quick to use this explanation as well. There was only a single newspaper article related to the odd incident at the time, which appeared the next day in The Las Vegas Sun with the headline “Brilliant Red Explosion Flares In Las Vegas Sky,” and for the most part, everyone just sort of forgot about it. Even though thousands of people across the country had seen the mysterious object and several hundred had heard the massive explosion, it seemed the meteor explanation was good enough. Case closed. Or so it seemed.
It would not be until decades later that anyone would blow the dust off the case, when UFO researcher Kevin Randle began snooping around for more information in military reports and declassified reports from the Air Force’s Project Blue Book UFO investigation, and he also went about interviewing numerous witnesses to the events to shed more light on what happened on that evening, which would all be covered in his book A History of UFO Crashes. What Randle would manage to uncover would begin to paint a picture of something perhaps quite a bit stranger than a meteor, and which the military quite possibly knows more about than it is letting on.
Even a casual look at the old reports began pointing out oddities. One declassified military report that was completely free to read by anyone who cared came from Captain Herman Gordon Shields, who, on the evening of the incident, had been flying a C-119 aircraft near La Van, Utah. He would report that both he and his co-pilot had witnessed a very bright light that continued to get brighter even as they maneuvered their plane to get away from it. Whatever it was, it was apparently “as bright as daylight,” completely illuminating the landscape, and as they tried to further evade and avoid what they felt might be an incoming collision, they were able to get a clear look at the source of the light. According to pilot Shields, it was a long, cigar-shaped object with a yellow top surface and the bottom of which was an extremely bright light. Shields would say in his report of the object:
“And this object which I saw was illuminated. It had a long slender appearance comparable to a cigarette in size, that is, the diameter with respect to the length of the object. The fore part, or the lower part of the object was very bright, intense white such as a magnesium fire. The second half, the aft section, was a clearly distinguishable yellowish color. I would say the object was just about divided in half, the fore part being intensely white, the aft section having a more yellow color to it. There was no exhaust, no trail following after it. It was clearly defined. I saw it for a period of maybe one to two seconds.”
Both the pilot and co-pilot were certain that this was no meteor. Another very curious report uncovered by Randle was that of witnesses Bob Robinson and Floyd Evans, who saw it fly low as they were driving along a highway near Eureka, Utah. The witnesses said it was clearly some sort of flaming cylinder with a “series of windows” along its side, and that its approach caused their vehicle to stall. They also claimed that it slowed to a stop to hover momentarily over them before continuing on its way, after which their engine promptly started up again. Other witness reports seemed to point towards something under intelligent control as well, including reports of the object making turns, speeding up or slowing down, reversing its course, and even landing, all things that you might realize meteors do not do. Another interesting eyewitness report uncovered by Randle comes from the declassified Blue Book files from a witness whose name had been redacted, and which reads:
“As the object passed over Robinson [Utah), it slowed down in [the] air, and after, [a] gasping sound was heard, the object spurted ahead again. After this procedure was repeated three or four times, the object arched over and began descending to earth after which the object turned bluish color and then burned out or went dark. After the object began to slow down it began to wobble or "flshtail" in its path.”
Military reports also showed some other intriguing details surrounding the case. It would turn out that not only had there been significant military activity in the area of Nellis Air Force Base after the explosion, including the scrambling of jets, but an investigator, Douglas Crouch, from Hill Air Force Base, would interview many witnesses and officially state that he did not believe the object seen to be a meteor. Crouch would also confirm that there had been no military tests in the area at the time, nor any unusual atmospheric phenomena on the night in question, and additionally, no aircraft in the area that could have caused the disturbances. Far from the official government stance that this was a meteor, Crouch would clearly state that “no explanation has been developed for the brilliant illumination of the area, the object itself, or the explosion.”
Another detail that seems not to fully line up is that Air Force investigation reports state that an orange, glowing object in Eureka, Utah, was so low and bright that it actually knocked out photoelectric cells in the area. There was plenty of other evidence offered up by Randle that did not fit into the meteor theory either, such as that the directions of the various reports across states often described it going in a different direction, the speed was too slow to be that of a meteor, and on many occasions it was far too low to be a meteor, often wildly changing altitude in mid-course. Also, the official reports show that fighter jets had indeed been scrambled in response to the event, so would they do that for a simple meteor? Regardless, a follow-up investigation made by J. Allen Hynek and Lieutenant Colonel Robert Friend would come to the conclusion that the object had been a rare type of bright meteor called a “bolide,” and Friend would say of this:
“This investigation was completed in one full day and it was concluded that the object was a bolide. An attempt was made to locate the object but this effort failed due to the general nature of the data. Further study of this sighting indicates that the meteor probably struck in the area of the Wasatch National Forest; however, the Air Force has made no further at tempts to recover it.”
One day to come up with that, and that seemed to be the end of it as far as the Air Force was concerned, but there were also some ominous hints of a cover-up found speckled throughout these files that did not add up. Randle noticed that Nellis Air Force Base first labeled the object as "Unidentified," but it was later changed to "Insufficient Data for a Scientific Analysis" without further explanation. Perhaps even weirder is the assertion in the report that "no visual" was made of the object captured on radar, despite the fact that there were literally thousands of reports made to police of people seeing this thing. It was also found that the Air Force reports were intentionally and deceptively dated to make it seem as if the Utah accounts and Nevada accounts had happened on different days, possibly to make them seem like two separate events and throw off anyone snooping around. Randle says of this:
“The reports, as filed in Project Blue Book, were deceptively dated. The Utah case had the time logged in "Zulu," or Greenwich Mean Time, which means it was advanced at that time of the year by six hours. Add six hours to the 8:15 time, and you advance it to early morning the next day. A quick glance at the file shows the Utah case dated April 19, and the Las Vegas case logged in local time as April 18. On paper it looks as if they take place on separate days when, in reality, they happened within minutes of each other on the same day.”
There were also inconsistencies throughout, such as the files at differing points claiming that the object was a weather balloon or a U-2 spy plane, before coming back to meteors again, almost as if they couldn't decide which explanation to go with. It must also be remembered that at the time, U-2s and balloons were tracked very carefully, and there were none scheduled to be in the area at the time of the events. Much of this suggested to Randle that the military was being misleading at best, and downright lying at worst, in an effort to muddy the waters and promote a mundane, palatable explanation. Randle believes that this was no meteor or balloon, or conventional aircraft, and that somewhere out there in the desert outside of Las Vegas, an alien craft of some sort crashed and is being covered up. He says of this in his book:
“It is a case that demonstrates the air force's policy of explaining UFO sightings, even if they have to change dates to make the explanations work. It shows that the air force would lie to the public about the UFO situation. And it shows that air force investigators, when handed a solution, wouldn't ask the basic questions. They accepted the solution quickly. This also reveals that the air force was not interested in investigation or solving riddles. They were interested in clearing cases, slapping a label on them and letting it go at that. They ignored the information that didn't fit with the bolide theory. Something extremely extraordinary happened on the night of April 18, 1962. The air force offered a series of explanations ignoring the facts. But the witnesses who were there know the truth. They saw something from outer space, and it was not a meteor. It was a craft from another world.”
We are ultimately left to wonder just what happened out there on that night back in 1962. Was this just a meteor, or was something more mysterious going on? If so, what could it have been? Did a UFO actually crash right outside of Las Vegas, perhaps, as some conspiracies say, because it was actually engaged and shot down by the fighter jets that had been scrambled? Did the government willingly cover it all up? In the end, there is no evidence at all to fall back on either way, and that time a UFO supposedly exploded out into the Las Vegas desert will likely remain for some time to come.
Our next case takes us out to the cold, gray expanse of the Arctic Ocean, north of mainland Europe, where there is the remote Norwegian archipelago of Spitzbergen, now mostly known as Svalbard. It is a frigid, somewhat hostile domain once used as a base of operations for whalers and miners, with most of the land covered by glaciers and intersected by numerous fjords, and enveloped in a near-eternal night during the frigid winter months. It is a sparsely inhabited, largely untouched, and unspoiled realm of majestic natural beauty, and it is also the location of a series of very bizarre supposed UFO crashes.
The first of two supposed UFO crashes in the area of Spitzbergen supposedly began in 1946, when General James H. Doolittle was allegedly sent to the region by the Shell Oil Company for the purpose of investigating aerial phenomena in the area that were being called “ghost rockets.” Journalist Dorothy Kilgallen would then claim that a crashed UFO had been recovered in the area by the British and U.S. governments, claiming that sailors serving aboard the U.S.S. Alabama had told her that the mysterious craft had been recovered by Doolittle in Spitzbergen and whisked away to the U.S. for study. The story would basically end here, with her taking the truth to her grave when she died in 1965, but it would not be the last time something like this would be reported from the region.
In June of 1952, a squadron of six Norwegian jet planes had just started summer maneuvers over Spitsbergen. As they sped over the Hinlopen Straits, their radios began crackling and emitting static before anomalously cutting out entirely to leave them with no way to communicate with each other. In the meantime, radar showed that an unidentified object was fast approaching, but the pilots themselves could see nothing visually. The fighters circled the area for some time, when Air Captain Olaf Larsen purportedly looked down to see a metallic disc lodged into the snow-frosted landscape down below, measuring 40 to 50 meters in diameter and shiny and bright enough to stand out in the snowy landscape. Further inspection would reveal that machinery and cables could be seen, as well as a series of jets around the side and what appeared to be a broken cockpit protruding from the icy ground. When they were finally able to get back to base and report what they had found, an expedition was sent to the apparent crash site, and a report in the German newspaper, Saarbrücker Zeitung, would say of what was found:
“A precise inspection of the remote-controlled flying disc that landed on the Nordaustlandet of Spitsbergen due to interference problems, led to the following indisputable information. The flying object, which has a diameter of 48.88 meters and slanting sides, is round and was unmanned. The circular steel object, is made out of an unknown metal compound, resembles a silver disc. After ignition, 46 automatic jets, located at equal distances on the outer ring, rotate the disc around a plexiglassed center ball, that contains measuring and control devices for remote control. The measuring instruments (gauges) have Russian symbols. The action radius of the disc seems to be more than 30.000 km, and the altitude over 160 km. The flying object, which resembles one of the legendary "flying saucers", has sufficient room for high explosive bombs, possibly nuclear bombs.
In the wreck of the apparatus an expert is said to have discovered a radio piloting transmitter with a nucleus of plutonium transmitting on all wavelengths with 934 hertz, a measure that has been unknown so far. The investigation has also shown that the flying saucer crashed because of a defect in its radio piloting system. The saucer carried no crew. The steel used in the construction is an unknown alloy. It consists of an exterior disc provided at its peripheral with 46 automatic jets. This disc pivots around the central sphere which contains the measurement and remote-control equipment. The Norwegian specialists assumed that the disc had started from the Soviet Union and had gone down over Spitsbergen due to a mistake in transmitting or receiving, being incapacitated because of the hard landing. The strange, remote-controlled, unmanned jet plane will be brought to Narvik on board a ship for further investigation.”
OK, so although weird, this was obviously just some sort of Russian experimental aircraft of some sort, right? Well, that is what it would seem to be at first, yet the story would continue to pick up new information and evolve. As the story got out into the open, it would pick up new details, such as that of a report that supposedly came forth from Colonel Gernod Darnhyl, of the Norwegian General Staff, who supposedly made the statement:
“The Spitsbergen crash was very rewarding. True enough, our science still faces many riddles. I am sure, however, that they can soon be solved by these remains from Spitsbergen. A misunderstanding developed, some time ago, when it was stated that the flying disc was probably of Soviet origin. It has - this we must state emphatically - not been built by any country on earth. The materials are completely unknown to all experts, either not to be found on Earth, or processed by physical or chemical processes unknown to us. We must tell the public what we know about the unknown flying objects. A misplaced secrecy may well one day lead to panic! We now have material at hand, on which we can start. That means laboratories can start the work right away and they might give us preliminary results shortly. Norwegian scientists think that the material from Spitsbergen can only give away its secrets by nuclear crushing; this because it does not change either at absolute zero, when air is liquified, or at the highest temperatures technically possible with our technology. Also, every chemical treatment has been tried. Scientific results will only be released subsequent to a UFO conference in London or Washington.”
So now it is not a Russian aircraft? Curiouser and curiouser. Before long, there were ever more fantastical stories surrounding the purported UFO crash, such as a report in Uruguayan newspaper El Nacional of Montevideo. In the report, it is claimed that the Norwegian scientist Hans Larsen Løberg had made clear that the craft had actually come down at the German island of Helgoland, in the North Sea, and was definitely not Russian, having no discernible engine, nor any rivets, fuses or bolts, and speculated to have operated on “magnetic forces.” Løberg also apparently stated that the craft had some sort of “beam weapon” on board, as well as the remains of actual alien bodies, or at least a crew of some sort. The report reads in part:
“The material used was as light as aluminum, but very much harder, and probably much heat-resistant. Of the things found in its interior, they noticed some water that was three times as heavy as normal water, and a few pills which were taken to be food. There was also an apparatus which probably was a radio. It was quite small and had no antenna. They also found some books, probably navigational instructions, in a completely unknown writing. The doors of the spaceship were open. Just inside of the doors were 7 bodies, burned beyond recognition. Scientists are of the opinion, according to Larsen Løberg, that the bodies were of men at the age of between 25 and 30 years, about 1,65 m tall. All had perfect sets of teeth. The reason for the crash of this saucer, he thought, had to be that it was affected by the American hydrogen-bomb explosions. The material of the spaceship, and its apparatus, resisted the enormous heat, but the crew burned to death.”
And just like that, the story has gone from a mysterious crash that could be anything or nothing at all to a downed alien spaceship with dead crew, alien or otherwise, on board. After this, the whole story becomes hazy, and there is not much to corroborate any of it, with many different versions offered up over the years that only further serve to muddy the waters as to what is going on. Indeed, there seems to be little to link any of this to an actual factual basis, and it lurks within the realm of strange cases that will probably be discussed over and over again, but which have no concrete evidence that can ever lead us in the direction of a real answer. The verdict of many in the UFO field is that this is an obvious hoax that has gotten out of control to take on a life of its own, with Norwegian ufologist Ole Jonny Brænne concluding:
“The conclusion therefore has to be that the Spitsbergen story (and the Helgoland story too, for that matter) is nothing but a classic H-O-A-X! The original authors, mainly J.M.M. and Sven Thygesen (if that was their real names), had a cursory knowledge of Norwegian military aircraft, but far from good enough. Even if this case does not hold any water, I will venture my way with a little prophecy: This story will, with great certainty, continue to be the subject of books as well as magazines during the 1990s. There will always be "researchers" who think this story deserves their enthusiastic attention, and cannot settle down with factual arguments which clearly show the story to lack any basis in reality.”
Was this a hoax, or was there something more to it? Opinions seem to be divided on this case, which only further fuels speculation and debate. Did something crash out there in that snowy wilderness, and was it covered up? Why has it evolved to add new details over time? It this the truth slowly coming out or the result of mere embellishment? Just what happened out there in the wilds of that remote place? The mystery remains, and we may never know for sure.
Moving on to our next case, on the evening of November 9, 1974, police in the quiet town of Carbondale, Lackawanna County, Pennsylvania, got a curious call from some scared teens. The group of friends, consisting of John Lloyd, 14, William Lloyd, 16, and Robert Gillette, 15, claimed that they had been outside playing in a park when they saw a fiery object “like a shooting star” come speeding over the nearby Salem Mountain to plummet to earth behind some trees, showering a trail of sparks behind it and emitting a “whistling noise” the whole way. When the curious boys excitedly ran over to see what had happened, they realized that the object had come down into a pond, or more accurately, a large coal breaker pit filled with water. When they approached the pond’s edge, they claimed to have seen something down in the depths, eerily glowing in the water about 20 feet from shore. They also claimed that there was a fizzing sound from the pond for a few minutes, as if “someone had thrown a cigarette in the water.” Police at first thought it was an obvious prank, but officers were sent to check it out anyway. This would be the beginning of one of the strangest UFO cases in Pennsylvania history.
When police arrived, they were surprised to see that there indeed was something out under the surface, emanating a spooky glow, with the teens even claiming that it seemed to have changed positions since they had first called it in. The police had no idea what it could be, and they quickly cordoned off the area just to be safe. It seems as if they still sort of thought of it as a joke, though, because one policeman even apparently fired off four shots into the pond at the mysterious object, to no effect. A closer look at the glow seemed to suggest that it was coming from a circular or spherical object, perhaps 5 feet in diameter, and that this glow seemed to be pulsating with a white-yellowish light. Police speculated that it was perhaps a downed plane, but the speed with which it had hit the water and the description from the boys seemed to discount this. Another idea was that it was a meteorite, some sort of space junk or even a downed Soviet missile. However, none of these explanations can explain one police report that a boat sent to investigate had seen the light seemingly rush towards them before returning to its original resting spot. What was going on here? No one had a clue. By the next morning, the glowing had stopped.
Before long, word had gotten out about a “UFO crash” at the pond, and police had their hands full trying to keep the flow of hundreds of congregating gawkers from approaching the water. In the meantime, Dr. J. Allen Hynek's Center for UFO Studies in Evanston, Illinois, was contacted by police about the strange incident, and he suggested that it was likely a meteor or a meteor fragment, as well as recommending that Geiger counter readings be taken at the site just in case. Hynek would also send a UFO field investigator to the site. Another investigator who would be called in was M.J. Graeber, ufologist and founder of UFORIC, a Philadelphia-based UFO Report and Information Center. By this time, the area was flooded with thousands of curiosity seekers and UFO enthusiasts, with many more clogging up the roads leading into the city, and all sorts of rumors were heavily making the rounds. Graeber would say of the scene and the flying rumors:
“It looked just like a scene from a science fiction movie and fears grew that emergency vehicles could not have got through if they were needed. To make matters worse, although we hadn't a ghost of an idea of what was actually in the water, rumors were spreading like a brush-fire and a few very vocal UFO enthusiasts who were milling about at the site were questioning the effectiveness of the police, fire companies and UFO researchers' retrieval efforts. There was a rumor that an alien space ship had landed - not crashed - in the silt pond and that the military had managed to recover whatever was in the water and spirit it away before anyone had an opportunity to see it. In one rumor scenario, the UFO was loaded upon a flatbed railcar that was brought to the site on a nearby (albeit, long abandoned) railroad spur - and in another account, two military helicopters were used to lift the object from the water and place it in an armored truck. Curiously, I too became linked to a rather ridiculous rumor which placed me at the scene as a government agent or high ranking Air Force officer disguised as a UFO field investigator. But the truth was that I was just a guy who had an interest in the UFO phenomenon and had been investigating sighting reports for about two years prior to the incident.”
Curiously, Graeber would report that there were only police at the scene and a single Air Force officer, with no armed military men present, despite what others would later claim. While the investigation was being carried out, the local Fire Department made efforts to pump and drain the pond to find out if anything was in there, but they faced many difficulties with debris and silt, making the process extremely slow going and basically useless. Another idea was to try and use a crane fitted with a magnet to lift whatever it was out, but this proved to be impractical, and there was still the fear that whatever it was could be leaking dangerous substances. They ended up calling in a diver by the name of Mark Stamey to come in and take a look, and in the meantime, some of the UFO investigators were being interviewed about their thoughts on the matter. Most of them were beginning to think this was perhaps a hoax, or at most a meteor. Graeber would say:
“The UFO researchers were being interviewed by the press and a TV station's helicopter circled the pond churning up the water. Although we still hadn't any solid information on what the object in the water might be, Dr. Hynek's representative and I were starting to suspect that the incident might be a prank that the teens had perpetrated on a nothing else to do Saturday night whim. We thought that perhaps their hoax simply got out of control and took on a life of its own - and that the boys may have been too scared to fess up to what they had done. Of course, it may have been that the boys had witnessed a meteor or a bolide (a large and occasionally exploding meteor) streaking across the night sky and mistakenly assumed that it was the same luminous object that they discovered moments later in the pond. This seemed to be a reasonable notion, as the boys' description of the aerial phenomenon they had observed was absolutely meteoric in character. However, my inspection of the alleged crash site revealed that there were no topographical indicators to suggest that something like a plane, a large piece of space junk or a meteor had impacted the pond or the area surrounding it. There wasn't any obvious displacement of earth; there was no displacement of water from the pond; there were no indicators of a fire, downed tree limbs or skid marks creating a gouge in the soil.”
It is quite possible that this is correct, as when Stamey finally suited up and dove in, he returned a short while later with a 12‐inch miner’s lantern. After this, the whole thing would fall apart. Robert Gillette Jr. would admit that he had thrown the lantern into the water to scare his sister, although the other two boys insisted that what they had seen was true, that an object really had come down from the sky. Nevertheless, the news soon hit that it was all a hoax, the disappointed crowds quickly dissipated, and the UFO researchers packed their bags and went home. However, there were still many who believed that a UFO, or at least something strange, had really come down, and there were many reports from people who insisted that they had seen a big flatbed truck on the road near the pond with something large on it and surrounded by the military, with the lantern planted there to make people go away and cover up the fact that they had retrieved an alien ship. This whole conspiracy would be fueled when, years later, Gillette would recant his confession to throwing the lantern into the pond and admit that something larger had been removed, although he shies away from aliens and thinks it was likely some Soviet tech. Gillette has said of this:
“My girlfriend broke up with me, so I was in a bad mood. I just told them what they wanted to hear, that it was a lantern. It wasn’t a lantern. Something was pulled out of the pond. I don’t think it was aliens. Some people do. I never called it a UFO. The official people did.”
The case has become quite the piece of lore in the area, and there are still plenty of people who think there is more to it than meets the eye. While it seems on the surface that it must surely be just a prank that got out of control, is that really what is going on here? Did these kids just pull off a hoax that managed to pretty much shut the whole town down? If so, why are there so many other reports of something strange going on? Did something come down into that pond or not, and if so, what was it? Was this a plane, meteor, satellite, or something altogether stranger? Was there someone who wanted to cover it all up by orchestrating it as a hoax? The case is so long ago now, and so written off as just a prank, even by many ufologists, that it hasn't really been investigated any further, and so it is left up to the imagination.
The small mining town of Dalnegorsk, Russia, is a rather bleak, stark, and frigid place. Indeed, the name Dalnegorsk literally means “far in the mountains,” and the unforgiving landscape here is fitting for such a name. It is a remote, rugged place of near perpetual cold, just a speck on the map and unknown to most of the outside world. Yet this forgotten place has one claim to fame, as it was once supposedly the site of a UFO that crashed to earth, which would then spawn stories of conspiracies and cover-ups, as well as usher in a whole series of UFO phenomena and strangeness.
In the cold, dark morning hours of January 29, 1986, hundreds of locals had their attention drawn skyward by an unusual sight. Streaking across the sky was seen a glowing reddish ball, travelling in a parallel, controlled manner at a speed of around 120 mph, described as being about the size of “half of the moon’s disc” and with a metallic surface like “hot stainless steel.” The object was obviously not a meteor, as it appeared to slow down to a speed of only around 50 mph as it approached Izvestkovaya Mountain, also called “Height 611.” It was thought at first that this was perhaps something from the military base nearby, but whatever it was did not make the slightest sound as it flew over at a height of around 700 feet. As the villagers looked on in astonishment, the object suddenly jerked and dipped sharply, before plummeting to earth behind the trees and hitting the mountain beyond in a ball of flame, producing a blindingly bright flash, yet there was oddly no expected boom of an explosion. For several hours, the glow of what looked from a distance like a forest fire could be seen emanating from where the mysterious object had gone down, yet no one dared approach.
It would not be until a few days later that anyone would arrive at the remote site to actually check it out, when a team from the Academy of Sciences came to investigate the odd reports. They discovered a circular spot in the forest that had obviously been charred, and to their amazement, there were numerous shards of metal, mesh fragments, beads, and an anomalous black film over everything. There were some odd magnetic readings at the site, an unidentifiable chemical odor lingering everywhere, and a certain charge to the air like static electricity, yet no abnormal radiation was detected. Some reports say that those who examined the area experienced various health issues, such as nose bleeds, headaches, nausea, and blood pressure fluctuations, and inexplicably, all photos taken of it would later come out completely blank. Samples of the materials were gathered, and things would get stranger still.
Scientists allegedly found that the beads were composed of lead, silicon, gold, nickel, and iron, but when melted down, their composition anomalously changed into such elements as titanium and molybdenum. The mesh-like material was also found to have many oddities. For one, its structure was bizarre to say the least, made of microscopic twisted fibers of carbonic and metal threads only 17 microns wide, beyond anyone's capabilities to make at the time. Some of the fragments featured an incredibly high density of gold, inconsistent with the surrounding area. The mesh also proved to be well-nigh indestructible, unable to be damaged by soaking in strong acids or solvents, and only able to be cut with the hardest diamond cutting tools. Scientists were apparently dumbfounded by all of this, but rather than explain it as aliens, it was thought to perhaps be from an American satellite or aircraft displaying some unknown advanced technology, although the United States would later deny having anything to do with it. In later years, some of these fragments made their way to the United States, and some would even be displayed. One such exhibit of some of these alleged fragments was shown at the National Atomic Testing Museum in Las Vegas, and the description at the exhibition reads:
“Three Soviet academic centers and 11 research institutes analyzed the objects from this UFO crash. The distance between atoms is different from ordinary iron. Radar cannot be reflected from the material. Elements in the material may disappear and new ones appear after heating. One piece disappeared completely in front of four witnesses. The core of the material is composed of a substance with anti-gravitational properties.”
In the days after the Dalnegorsk incident, the area, and in particular Height 611, would allegedly become ground zero for intense waves of UFO sightings, with dozens of subsequent instances of mysterious objects in the sky. On some occasions, the objects were reported as hovering over the mountain and illuminating the forest below with beams, as if looking for something, and such reports would carry on all the way into the following year and beyond, given by people from all walks of life, including traditionally reliable witnesses such as doctors, policemen, officials, and military personnel. In some instances, people even claimed to have found more of the mysterious fragments in the area, as well as patches of a strange oil-like substance.
Although it is all a rather spectacular tale, the Dalnegorsk incident managed to be sort of brushed under the carpet, hidden away by what was then the Soviet Union, and it was not until years later that outside ufologists would begin uncovering the tale and making its existence known through articles and TV shows, such as a notable segment on a 1995 episode of Sightings. Unfortunately, there does not seem to be much remaining in the way of corroborating evidence, and the vast majority of the supposed material from the crash has gone missing over the decades. While it is all very intriguing and seems promising on some levels, with plenty of eyewitnesses and potential physical evidence, we are forced to relegate it to the files of other cases that have been lost to history, with no way of proving them true or not, one way or the other. What happened at that cold, lonely mountain? We may never know.
This is pretty much what we are left with on all of these cases. These tantalizing supposed crashes of extraterrestrial spaceships have plenty of intriguing stories surrounding them, sometimes even alluring supposed evidence, but in the end, nothing to concretely confirm that they ever happened at all, or if they did, what they were. These stories have sort of faded away, any evidence that may have been gained lost or whisked away to remain unreachable, launching them firmly into the limbo of speculation and debate.
A wild new study claims to have found evidence of alien genetic manipulation in human DNA, with large sections of genes seemingly 'inserted' into people, potentially affecting millions of humans.
If confirmed, the discovery could fundamentally alter our understanding of human evolution and thefuture of the human race, said lead researcher Dr Max Rempel, the founder and CEO of the DNA Resonance Research Foundation.
The study, which has not yet undergone peer review, analyzed DNA from both ordinary people and self-reported alien abductees.
In an examination of 581 complete families from the 1,000 Genomes Project, Rempel found 'large sequences' of DNA in 11 families that appeared to match neither parent.
These anomalies include a cluster of 348 non-parental genetic variants, some of which were from children born before 1990, ruling out human gene-editing technologies like CRISPR, which only emerged in 2013.
Rempel cautioned that his findings are preliminary and require more rigorous analysis.
'No conclusive evidence yet, because we need better datasets, which are available only on approval. That takes time and effort,' he said.
Nevertheless, he believes the implications could be staggering. 'Humanity may be undergoing genetic transformation. If confirmed, it could be possible to detect which humans carry alien DNA, essentially identifying hybrids,' he explained.

The researcher's hypothesis resonates with fringe theories long circulating among UFO enthusiasts and conspiracy theorists.
Some have suggested that alleged alien-human hybrids exist, citing examples such as the so-called Nazca mummies, which purportedly contain both human and alien DNA.
Rempel's findings, while not conclusive, could lend scientific credence to these theories if validated. However, both NASA and the US Pentagon have admitted that alien life does not exist.
In addition to analyzing publicly available family DNA datasets, Rempel reviewed 23andMe results from individuals who self-identify as alien abductees.
He found that some families showed strings of non-parental markers, though others did not.
Rempel noted that current commercial genotyping services, which rely on array-based data, are insufficiently precise to confirm such radical claims. Instead, he advocates for next-generation sequencing (NGS) or whole-genome sequencing (WGS), which can detect novel variants with much higher resolution.
According to Rempel, if he can access DNA from parents and children who self-report as alien abductees, high-resolution sequencing could definitively identify alien insertions.
He suggested that future studies might reveal astonishing possibilities, including humans developing unusual abilities such as telepathy as a result of genetic modifications.

Rempel emphasized the need for high-quality, non-cultured genetic data to avoid artifacts caused by cell culturing.
'Most public DNA databases contain old data from cultured cells. Culturing can produce genomic changes, so we cannot treat these results as proof,' he said. Moving forward, he hopes to secure funding and access to public DNA repositories for further research.
He has a PhD from the Institute of Gene Biology but is known for exploring unconventional fields, including DNA resonance, which investigates subtle fields around human bodies.
Skeptics, including UFO researchers, have urged caution.
Nigel Watson, author of Portraits of Alien Encounters Revisited, highlighted the small sample size and the inherent challenges of studying self-reported abductees.
'Alien abduction experiences can stem from a variety of terrestrial factors. We need to carefully verify these accounts before drawing conclusions about DNA,' he said.
Watson added that technical errors or unknown biological mechanisms could also explain the anomalies.
To this point, there has been no conclusive evidence ever revealed which confirms the existence of extraterrestrials (Stock Image)
Despite the skepticism, both Rempel and Watson agreed that further genetic research involving volunteer abductees could provide groundbreaking insight. 'If proven, this would be as world-shattering as recovering a flying saucer,' Watson said.
Rempel's study also raises ethical questions. If alien DNA can be identified in humans, how should the rights of those individuals be protected?
He noted that a high percentage of people with neurodivergent traits, such as autism, ADHD, and Asperger's, could potentially carry these genetic insertions, though this remains speculative.
The study underscores the urgent need for rigorous, high-resolution genetic analysis. Rempel has expressed interest in collaborating with families willing to provide DNA samples and pay for sequencing.
He believes that such research could definitively show whether extraterrestrial forces are influencing human genetics.
In the meantime, Rempel continues to advocate for literacy in 'alien hybridization' and DNA resonance, suggesting that understanding these phenomena could inform major decisions about humanity's future.
'We need to consider how much alien hybridization is healthy for the planet, and which alien races we might give priority,' he said.

Gray Barker: UFO conspiracy theorist
Gray Barker: UFO conspiracy theorist
Tales of alien sightings and government cover-ups have captured American imaginations for decades – but few with such global appeal as the Men in Black. David Clarke introduces the ufologist who popularised these shadowy space-age legends
One night in 1953, three mysterious men sporting black suits reportedly arrived uninvited at the home of Albert K Bender in Bridgeport, Connecticut. The menacing trio, who reportedly identified themselves as agents of the US government, threatened Bender with prison if he told anyone about a secret he had discovered – information relating to the source of the flying saucer mystery. They scared him so badly that he was physically sick for three days.
Bender was no mere disinterested civilian. An obsessive ufologist, he was the founder of the International Flying Saucer Bureau (IFSB), the world’s first civilian UFO investigation club. Shortly after that ominous visit, and on the orders of those ‘secret agents’, he shut down the IFSB.
At least one person was both disappointed and intrigued by this development: Gray Barker, only recently recruited as the IFSB’s chief investigator and a contributor to its magazine, Space Review.
“He was 6ft 4ins tall, with a gentle southern accent and a sly sense of humour,” recalled his friend John Keel, a fellow investigator of UFOs and monster stories. “And it can truly be said that he knew too much about flying saucers.”
It was Barker’s exploration of the ‘men in black’ (latterly abbreviated as MIB) that had a long-lasting and global impact on ufology and wider popular culture.

Born in West Virginia in 1925, in his youth Barker worked in the theatre industry, then began publishing, writing and editing stories about UFOs, monsters and the paranormal. He graduated from Glenville State College in 1947 – the year in which the phrase ‘flying saucers’ was coined to describe a formation of strange batwing-shaped objects reported by a private pilot, Kenneth Arnold, in Washington state. Arnold’s sighting was quickly followed by the Roswell incident, when wreckage of a flying object was recovered from the desert in New Mexico. This story would later become a central element of the most popular UFO conspiracy theory, which claims that the US government is hiding crashed alien spacecraft.
Barker enjoyed blurring the line between fact and fiction, and in his 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers he dramatised and embellished his account of Bender’s story to capture the public imagination. It worked: his retelling of the episode launched the legend of the ‘men in black’ into the paranoid world of ufology at the height of the Cold War.
Silent alarm
Written around the time of Senator Joseph McCarthy’s infamous campaign to expose alleged communist infiltration of the US government, They Knew Too Much… became the best-known title in a series of books that Barker edited and published from his home in West Virginia. The book charted the activities of what he called the ‘Silence Group’, whom he claimed had warned Bender and other IFSB members to end their investigations. In it, Barker quotes Bender: “Just as the three men were leaving, one of them lingered for a moment and said, ‘In our government, we have the smartest men in the country. They can’t find a defence for [UFOs]. How can you do anything about it?’”
Menacing ‘agents’ travelled in groups of three, wore black suits and drove large, brand-new automobiles
As rumours about the ‘Silence Group’ spread following the book’s publication, other enthusiasts and people who claimed to have witnessed UFOs came forward, insisting that they’d also received visits from men in black. Like Bender, many appeared genuinely terrified – yet none suffered any reprisals after talking about their experiences. The menacing ‘agents’ often, but not always, travelled in groups of three, wore black suits and drove large, brand-new automobiles, usually Cadillacs or dark sedans.
Bender’s encounter occurred in the same year that the CIA convened a top-secret panel of scientists to decide how to deal with the growing number of unsolved sightings reported to the US Air Force. UFO writer Jerome Clark speculates that the men who visited Bender might have been genuine secret agents who were following the panel’s recommendations that civilian UFO groups should be closely watched.
The legend blurred with science fiction in 1962 when Barker published a book, Flying Saucers and the Three Men, written by Bender – who had now emerged from hiding, and promised to reveal the truth about his visitation. Even the more open-minded UFO believers found it hard to swallow one extravagant addition to Bender’s story – an account of his abduction to the south pole by monstrous aliens from the planet Kazik.

Aliens in disguise
More enticing to the UFO industry was the revelation that the ‘agents’ who visited Bender were aliens in disguise – a fresh theme that imaginative writers and artists could develop further. Barker continued to promote the legend, alongside UFOs and other mysteries, via the magazine he edited, The Saucerian (later The Saucerian Bulletin), while rival authors also began creating their own folklore.
The Silver Bridge, a creative fiction book published by Barker in 1970, linked the collapse of the bridge in Point Pleasant, West Virginia in December 1967 with a frightening creature called the Mothman. His friend John Keel, another occult journalist, expanded on the legend in a book-length account, The Mothman Prophecies. Published in 1975, it featured Barker and was adapted into a 2002 Hollywood film starring Richard Gere and Laura Linney. In his book, Keel – the first to use the acronym MIB – detailed visits to the homes of witnesses who had reported encounters with both the Mothman and UFOs before the bridge tragedy that claimed the lives of 46 people.
From the late 1960s, accounts of MIB visits were becoming ever more bizarre and surreal. Stories described MIB moving robotically, or having telepathic powers, odd hairstyles and shaved eyebrows. Their weird demeanour placed them alongside depictions of gangsters, fictional terrorists and spies in contemporary films and TV shows. They resembled, for example, the SMERSH agents pursued by James Bond in novels and films. Meanwhile, MIB links with conspiracy theories were cemented by ‘sightings’ in Dallas soon after John F Kennedy’s assassination in 1963.
Believer or sceptic?
Barker died in 1984, aged just 59, having contracted HIV. A decade after his death, the Men in Black launched onto the global medial landscape. They appeared in The X-Files TV series, then the first of four Men in Black movies was released in 1997 – the 50th anniversary of Arnold’s report of the first ‘flying saucers’. Based on a comic by Lowell Cunningham, the first three of these comedy sci-fi films follow the exploits of two agents, played by Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith, who work for a secret agency that polices extraterrestrials living secretly on Earth.
Did Barker really believe the stories that he promoted? Or was he purely motivated by financial gain? Evidence suggests that he was a sceptic: he told his friend (and fellow UFO writer) James Moseley that he “pretty much took all of ufology as a joke”. After Barker’s death, Moseley confessed that in 1957 the pair had written a fake letter, on US Department of State stationery, sent to George Adamski – who claimed to have met aliens from Venus and Mars, and travelled in their flying saucers. The letter appeared to corroborate Adamski’s fantastic tales.
In 2002, another of Barker’s circle, journalist John C Sherwood, published an exposé that revealed the MIB creator’s ‘dark side’. “He launched hoaxes, joined others’ deceptions, and manipulated people’s beliefs,” Sherwood claimed in Skeptical Inquirer.
Gray Barker laid the foundations for the modern belief that the US government is actively involved in a cover-up
Gray Barker laid the foundations for the modern belief that the US government is actively involved in a cover-up. In 2019, a Gallup poll found that 68 per cent of Americans believe “the US Government knows more about UFOs than it is telling us”. That came shortly after an online campaign called Storm Area 51, which drove support for breaking into the secret military base in the Nevada desert where many believe the US government is flying captured alien craft.
In July 2023, US intelligence officer David Grusch testified before a congressional hearing that the Pentagon was involved in reverse-engineering non-human spacecraft, and had recovered their dead pilots. He also claimed that people had been threatened and killed in order to conceal what has been called the ‘Cosmic Watergate 2.0’. If Grusch is to be believed – and his claims have been challenged by numerous experts – then the ‘men in black’ are more than a mere fantasy conjured up by Gray Barker.

The Connection Of Alien Contact And Sudden Psychic Ability: A Scientific Inquiry into An Extraordinary Hypothesis
The Connection Of Alien Contact And Sudden Psychic Ability: A Scientific Inquiry into An Extraordinary Hypothesis
Abstract
This essay probes a provocative hypothesis: that encounters with extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI) may be linked to the sudden emergence of psychic abilities in some individuals. Grounded in contemporary psychology, neuroscience, and the philosophy of mind, the discussion reframes “alien contact” and “psychic ability” as components of a broader inquiry into consciousness, perception, and information processing under extraordinary circumstances. While the claim challenges conventional boundaries of science, the paper emphasizes careful methodological thinking, testable predictions, and rigorous skepticism. We outline plausible mechanisms—neurophysiological arousal, altered cognitive states, social and cultural expectancy, and Bayesian inference under uncertainty—that could plausibly produce abrupt shifts in perception or cognition following anomalous encounters. We also present illustrative, hypothetical case studies and suggest research designs that could, in principle, adjudicate the hypothesis without giving undue weight to anecdotal accounts. The aim is not to prove the connection, but to map a disciplined framework for studying a controversial topic with scientific seriousness.
Do alien abductees develop sudden psychic ability?
Introduction: Framing the Question
The claim that contact with alien beings could precipitate sudden psychic abilities sits at the intersection of ufology, parapsychology, cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. Throughout modern history, narratives of encounter—dreamlike visions, anomalous communications, or inexplicable sensory experiences—have often coincided with reports of newfound cognitive or perceptual powers. Critics rightly point to the precarious evidentiary standards in many alien-contact accounts and psychic reports: selection biases, cultural storytelling, memory distortion, and confirmation biases. Proponents, however, argue that there is a nontrivial pattern worth investigating: some individuals report a qualitative shift in capability after encounters, such as telepathic sensitivity, precognitive glimpses, or intensified intuition, coupled with profound existential change. A scientifically credible inquiry must separate circumstance from conjecture, identify plausible mechanisms, and implement rigorous, preregistered research protocols that can withstand replication efforts.
This essay therefore adopts a cautious, hypothesis-driven stance. We treat “alien contact” as a defined set of phenomenological experiences characterized by
reports of communication or contact with non-human intelligences,
timing that is temporally proximate to transformative subjective events, and
accompanying neurocognitive or perceptual changes. “Sudden psychic ability” is operationalized as veridically reported or externally corroborated enhancements in domains such as telepathy-like sensitivity, clairvoyant inference, precognition, or profound mnemonic acceleration, lasting beyond a clearly defined initiation period.
Importantly, the essay distinguishes between social-cociological phenomena (e.g., cultural fright or altered belief systems) and genuine perceptual or cognitive shifts that survive methodological scrutiny.
Theoretical Foundations
Why Might a Connection Exist? Several converging hypotheses could plausibly explain a link between alien contact experiences and sudden psychic abilities. While none constitutes definitive evidence, they are worth considering because they map testable predictions:
NeurophysiologicalArousal and Neural Plasticity A high-stress, emotionally charged encounter could trigger dysregulated autonomic arousal, leading to a cascade of neuromodulatory events (e.g., catecholamine surges, cortisol release) that may transiently enhance certain cognitive faculties or reveal previously latent neural pathways. In some individuals, repeated or intense arousal could promote neuroplastic remodeling in circuits tied to attention, pattern recognition, or interoception. If a person experiences a lasting reorganizing event in the salience network or the frontoparietal control network, novel modes of information integration could emerge, which might be interpreted as “psychic” phenomena.
Altered States of Consciousness (ASC) and Realignment of Perceptual Boundaries Encounter narratives can precipitate ASC-like states (vastly increased suggestibility, hypnagogic imagery, altered time perception). These states are known to alter the boundaries between perception and inference, enabling atypical associations. In carefully monitored contexts, ASC can temporarily enhance creativity, pattern detection, and hypothesis generation. If sustained, they might be interpreted as sudden psychic ability, especially if a person learns to perform novel perceptual tasks under these states.
Bayesian Inference Under Deep Uncertainty Humansinterpret the world with prior beliefs and probabilistic inference. A dramatic, anomalous experience could cause a Bayesian reweighting of priors—particularly priors about the limits of perception, reality, and agency. This recalibration could yield now-apparent correlations, pattern recognition, or predictive impressions that feel “psychic.” If a person becomes adept at distinguishing signal from noise post-encounter, they may report genuine improvements in predictive or telepathic-like tasks.
Social and Cultural Reframing Cultural explanations are powerful. A society or subculture that values and teaches “alien communication” or “psychic mastery” can shape interpretation and skill development. Expectation and social reinforcement can lead to observable improvements in performance on tasks framed as psychic, independent of any interface with aliens. Thus, separating genuine cognitive shift from socialized skill is essential in any study.
Epigenetic and Long-Term Brain Changes Before-and-after effects of extraordinary experiences could involve epigenetic modifications or long-term synaptic changes in neural circuits related to memory, emotion regulation, and information integration. If validated, these modifications could account for abrupt but enduring changes in cognitive style or perception that users report as “psychic.”

Methodological Guardrails
How to Study This Responsibly To advance the debate responsibly, researchers should adopt rigorous, preregistered methodologies, transparent reporting, and careful triangulation of evidence. Key guidelines include:
Predefine operational definitions: Explicitly delimit what counts as “alien contact” and what qualifies as “sudden psychic ability.” Use objective outcome measures wherever possible (e.g., blinded assessments, standardized tests for intuition, pattern recognition tasks, memory measures).
Multi-method triangulation: Combine qualitative interviews with quantitative experiments, neuroimaging when feasible, and third-party corroboration. Cross-validate subjective reports with independent observations.
Control for confounds: Screen for psychiatric conditions, sleep deprivation, substance use, cultural influences, and expectancy effects. Include active control groups where appropriate (e.g., participants undergoing intense, but non-alien-related, transformative experiences).
Longitudinal design: Distinguish transient ASC-like effects from durable cognitive or perceptual changes. Track participants over time to observe stability of reported abilities.
Replication and preregistration: Encourage independent replication and make data, protocols, and materials openly available to enable reproducibility.
Illustrative Scenarios and Hypothetical Evidence
To illuminate the hypothesis without presenting sensational claims as proven, below are carefully framed, hypothetical case illustrations. These should be understood as synthetic examples meant to demonstrate how research questions might be operationalized and assessed.
Case A:Sudden Enhanced Pattern Recognition After a Contact Narrative A participant reports a near-death-like meditation during a vivid alien-communication dream in which a non-human intelligence explains a complex, non-local pattern. In the weeks that follow, they perform a battery of tasks requiring rapid pattern recognition under time pressure and show a statistically significant improvement relative to their baseline and matched controls. A follow-up fMRI study reveals heightened functional connectivity between the anterior cingulate cortex and the visual processing cortex during task performance. The researchers predefine thresholds for improvement, preregister analyses, and use blinded raters for task outcomes. They interpret the results as consistent with a plausible link between the encounter’s ASC component and enhanced cognitive integration rather than a lark of chance, acknowledging that replication is required.
Case B:Telepathic-Style Intuition in a Post-Encounter Context Another participant reports “sensing” the location of a missing object after an alien-contact episode that included telemetric-like transmissions described verbally by an extraterrestrial entity. Across a series of controlled experiments, the participant demonstrates above-chance accuracy in a set of forced-choice tasks where cueing is minimized and experimenters are blind to object placement. The team notes that the effect is small, highly variable, and not replicable in all sessions, but persists across several independent laboratories with rigorous marginal significance. They publish a cautious interpretation: a tentative signal that deserves further study with larger samples and alternative paradigms to rule out subtle biases.
Case C: Neurophysiological Marker of Changed Sensitivity A participant experiences a lasting shift in interoceptive awareness after an intense alien-contact experience. Using heartbeat detection tasks and cortical interoception imaging, researchers observe increased interoceptive sensitivity and altered insula activity. They propose a mechanistic hypothesis linking alien-contact-induced ASC to recalibrated body-awareness networks, which could underpin unusual perceptual or intuition-based abilities. The effect size is moderate, and the results are explored for robustness by independent labs with pre-registered plans.
5 Examples of people who experienced it
Example 1 Mira, a quiet lighthouse keeper from Cornwall,began receiving messages during the stillness of the night. At first, they came as faint whispers in her dreams, then as lucid, star-map images that echoed in her waking minutes. One evening, the sea churned with a green glow, and she felt pressed to sketch a complex symbol she had never seen before. Within days, she inexplicably understood languages she hadn’t studied, and a sudden sense of timing guided her to avert a maritime accident. She now speaks of an ancient intelligence guiding her gaze, a bridge between alien contact and an awakened psychic sensitivity.
Example 2 Diego, a Mexican guitarist, discovered his pulse tell stories no instrument could. After a prolonged stretch of creative block, he dreamed of a chrome city floating above the ocean, with music that hummed in frequencies beyond ordinary hearing. He woke with a fierce intuition about chords and scales that reclaimed the heartbeat of his melodies. When he played, audiences swore they could feel distant voices singing through him, as if an alien chorus was lending him a compass. His psychic insight sharpened—he could sense harmonies before they formed, sensing changes just before they happened, like a telepathic resonance with sound.
Example 3 Aiko, a nurse in Osaka, began noticing patients’ unspoken needs in vivid flashes—images of distant events that later proved prescient. A routine shift turned miraculous when she “saw” a code blue before it rang, guiding her team to prevent a fatal error. During quiet nights, she heard soft, unfamiliar languages and felt a presence aligning her instincts with the hospital’s rhythm. Her colleagues whispered of an otherworldly mentor. Aiko resumed volunteering with disaster relief, trusting a sudden psychic clarity that seemed to arrive through contact with beings beyond human perception. She calls it a compassionate communication from an unseen network.
Example 4 Omar, a software engineer from Cairo, described an encounter that unfolded like a debugging session with reality itself. A flash of geometric light appeared in his apartment, and a calm voice walked him through a sequence of steps to reprogram a stubborn algorithm. The solution was elegant and entirely different from his usual approach. Afterward, he began experiencing precise, instantaneous insights—predicting system outages hours before they occurred and sensing security breaches before they registered. He began documenting dreams of a distant planet where beings communicated through cognitive patterns, a form of linguistic code. He believes alien contact unlocked a latent psychic toolkit in his mind.
Example 5 Elena, a grandmother from Porto, woke one night to a chorus of soft siren-like signals that felt both ancient and welcoming. She found herself recalling memories not her own—visions of people she’d never met, their emotions streaming into hers with startling clarity. The next day, she could sense the needs of her grandchildren before words could form: a tense mood, a sudden fear, a small whim she could soothe with a single whispered story. A nurse friend suggested it might be a suppressed ancestral memory unlocked by contact with beings from elsewhere. Elena embraced the gift, a living link between alien contact and sudden psychic empathy.
Critical Evaluation
What the Evidence Could and Could Not Show If the proposed connection exists, we should expect convergent evidence across domains:
Repetition:Replicable findings across separate samples and laboratories with consistent effect directions.
Specificity:Cognitive or perceptual improvements that map onto defined tasks associated with heightened pattern recognition, intuition, or nonlocal information processing.
Temporal coherence:Onset closely follows alien-contact experiences and persists for a plausible duration, with a detectable decay or consolidation trajectory.
Neurobiological plausibility: Measurable brain or physiological correlates that align with theoretical mechanisms (e.g., ASC-associated networks, interoception, or salience processing).
Conversely, null or equivocal findings would emphasize the dangers of overinterpretation. Many insights from parapsychology have failed to generalize beyond specific contexts; thus, any positive results must withstand robust statistical scrutiny, pre-registration, and cross-lab replication to challenge entrenched skepticism.
Ethical and Societal Considerations
Research into alien contact and psychic abilities intersects with sensitive ethical territory. Researchers must avoid coercive recruitment practices, manage participants’ psychological well-being when engaging with extraordinary experiences, and provide access to counseling resources if distress arises. Care should be taken to avoid sensationalism in public communications that could mislead or stigmatize participants. Moreover, dual-use concerns—the potential misuse of supposed abilities in high-stakes settings—should be anticipated and mitigated through transparent ethics oversight and responsible reporting.
Implications for Science and Philosophy
Even if the link between alien contact and sudden psychic ability remains unproven, the exercise has value for science and philosophy. It pushes researchers to refine measurement standards for subjective experiences at the boundaries of conventional cognition, to design more rigorous ASC research protocols, and to clarify how humans interpret anomalous information. Philosophically, exploring these questions invites reflection on the nature of consciousness, the limits of perception, and the epistemology of extraordinary claims. It challenges the assumption that only modalities with clear causal mechanisms are worthy of investigation and highlights the importance of methodological innovation in studying rare, poorly understood phenomena.
Limitations and Cautions
The topic inherently invites sensationalism. Maintaining scientific humility is essential.
Anecdotal reports are insufficient as evidence; any credible claim must be reproducible under controlled conditions.
Confounding variables are abundant in extraordinary experiences; rigorous control and replication are non-negotiable.
The lack of consistent, high-quality data on ETI encounters means conclusions are necessarily tentative and provisional.
Conclusion
Toward a Principled Inquiry The proposition that alien contact could be linked to sudden psychic abilities is audacious, but not inherently irrational. A principled scientific approach demands precise definitions, preregistered methodologies, and a commitment to replication and falsifiability. By exploring plausible neurocognitive mechanisms, carefully framing extraordinary experiences, and cultivating robust experimental designs, researchers can illuminate questions about human perception, cognition, and the boundaries of consciousness without surrendering to sensationalism.
The proposed framework does not claim a proven connection. It offers a structured path for inquiry—one that respects scientific rigor while leaving room for the imaginative dimensions of human experience. If future studies converge on consistent, independent findings, we may begin to revise our understanding of how transformative encounters—whether with ETI or other profoundly anomalous stimuli—can catalyze enduring changes in cognition and perception. Until then, the task remains to distinguish rigorous science from compelling stories, and to pursue the truth with a method as extraordinary as the questions themselves.
Appendix: Suggested Research Protocols (Concrete Steps for Future Work)
Study design:Multisite, double-blind, preregistered experiments assessing performance on psychic-relevant tasks (e.g., pattern recognition, intuition accuracy, nonlocal inference) before and after a documented, controlled “alien-contact-like” experience (e.g., standardized ASC induction paired with immersive storytelling, to ethically model transformative contexts).
Control conditions: Active controls that mimic emotional intensity and cognitive load without alien-content elements; sham contact experiences to control expectancy effects.
Outcome measures:Pre- and post-assessments using standardized cognitive batteries, psychophysiological monitoring (heart rate variability, galvanic skin response), neuroimaging where feasible, and qualitative interviews analyzed with systematic coding.
Data transparency: Open preregistration, data anonymization, and sharing of materials to enable independent reproduction.
In sum, this essay has sketched a disciplined, scientifically minded path for interrogating a controversial hypothesis. Whether future research will establish any genuine connection between alien contact and sudden psychic ability remains an open question. What is essential now is to pursue the inquiry with rigor, intellectual honesty, and a commitment to empirical scrutiny that honors both the demands of science and the profound curiosity that motivates us to ask such questions in the first place.

U.S. Congressman Says UFOs May Be Machines of a Hidden ‘Ancient Earth Civilization’
U.S. Congressman Says UFOs May Be Machines of a Hidden ‘Ancient Earth Civilization’
For over 90 years, the UFO enigma has captivated people’s minds worldwide, sparking curiosity, debates, and countless investigations into the phenomenon. The wait is over, as David Grusch, David Fravor & Ryan Graves are set to testify before the US Congress during the congressional meetings scheduled for July 26, 2023.
Meanwhile, various theories were postulated by United States Representative Mike Gallagher on the possible origin of UFOs while he appeared on Pat McAfee’s show on June 27, 2023. The former Marine suggested that unidentified flying objects (UFOs) might possibly represent an enigmatic “ancient civilization” that had remained hidden on Earth until recently when they began to surface.
“This should be an opportunity for the government to be transparent,” he said. “If we have information that disconfirms the extraterrestrial hypothesis, or all these other ones, at least it shows the government doing something competent and being forward-leaning by declassifying information to the public.”
Rep. Gallagher made this statement in response to the wild interview of David Grusch with Ross Coutlhart that hit the media. Mr. Grusch, who is confirmed to testify before Congress in the upcoming hearings, claimed that the US government has proof of alien life and that there are spacecraft from another species. He mentions that there is a significant number of these spacecraft, some of which have landed while others have crashed.
When asked about the duration of the cover-up, Grusch mentions that the first recovery of a UAP occurred in 1933 in Magenta, Italy, during the regime of Benito Mussolini. He explains that the Italian government moved the recovered craft to a secure air base until 1944-1945 when the Vatican informed the Americans about it
Appearing on the sports talk show, Gallagher suggested that one possible explanation of supposed UFO sightings was the so-called “Terminator” theory — derived from the film of the same name — that aliens were actually human beings from the future. Gallagher further put forth another theory, suggesting the following: “Instead of us from the future, it might indeed be an ancient civilization that has been lurking here, and suddenly it’s making its presence known.” Ancient Aliens, does it ring a bell?
A similar theory was also proposed by Tim Peake, one of Britain’s famous astronauts. He said that the UFOs filmed by the US military over 100 times could either time traveling humans or aliens from other civilizations. During an interview with Good Morning Britain in June 2022, Briton astronaut Tim Peake, who spent more than six months on the International Space Station, was asked about the UAP videos, which the Pentagon recently declassified.
Peake said: “I heard one theory where a pilot was talking about that potentially in the future, they’ve developed time travel – is it something that’s come back from the future?” He did not exactly say what the UFOs are but shared some theories that have long been discussed by UFOlogists.
“I don’t think it’s a development of any state nation or non-state organization at all. I think it’s quite remarkable when you see the video footage. It does seem extraordinary as to what these machines are capable of.”
There is a huge buried UFO hidden outside the US, and Ross Coulthart claimed that he knows the location of this immovable craft. There is no confirmation from Coulthart about the nature of this craft if it was retrieved. However, some have speculated this could be an archeological dig. Could this particular craft potentially be a remnant of a bygone civilization?
Considering Rep. Gallagher’s theory, scientists have explored the possibility of detecting ancient civilizations in Earth’s geological record. A recent paper called “The Silurian Hypothesis” discusses how traces of industrial civilizations could be found. While fossils and artifacts are unlikely to survive over millions of years, anomalous changes in chemical compositions could serve as clues. By studying geological anomalies and applying models to other planets, scientists hope to understand if civilizations existed in the distant past.
NASA has spent many years seeking the truth regarding extraterrestrial life. Furthermore, the space agency has never denied the existence of non-human life beyond Earth in any form. This is sufficient to discuss the idea of non-human life existing beyond Earth in any form, from the microscopic to the macroscopic. Avi Loeb, a professor at Harvard, has supported the idea that there may have been earlier civilizations on both Earth and Mars, and that these civilizations may have been the origin of UAPs. (Click here to read the full article)
Mr. Loeb writes: “Planets like Mars or Earth could have given multiple births to technological civilizations that were a billion years apart and hence were not aware of each other. Like stable parents, the planets recovered from the environmental impact of these civilizations over time. We may have been separated in time from siblings that we never had the opportunity to meet and so we are unaware of their existence.”
Former Pentagon UFO official, Lue Elizondo, shared intriguing insights in an interview about crash retrievals and materials related to UFOs/UAPs. He believes the US government possesses exotic materials but lacks transparency on the matter. (Click here to read the full article)
Elizondo used an analogy of finding an out-of-place object in King Tut’s tomb to emphasize the significance of finding advanced materials before our known technology existed. Some interpreted this analogy as a hint that UFOs could be considered archaeological findings, possibly ancient rather than just old.
Interestingly, Bob Lazar, on the Joe Rogan Experience, mentioned hearing that at least one recovered UFO was found during an archaeological dig, suggesting its ancient origin. Astronomer Avi Loeb suggested that some advanced devices made by early inhabitants of Mars and Earth might still be operational elsewhere in the Solar System, potentially accounting for some Unidentified Aerial Phenomena reports.
Physicist John E. Brandenburg’s 2015 study speculated about a massive thermonuclear explosion that destroyed Mars’ once-Earthlike atmosphere, considering the Cydonian Hypothesis and Fermi’s Paradox. These ideas explore the possibility of ancient advanced civilizations in our solar system.
Belief in alien visits to Earth is spiralling out of control – here’s why that’s so dangerous
The idea that aliens may have visited the Earth is becoming increasingly popular. Around a fifth of UK citizens believe Earth has been visited by extraterrestrials, and an estimated 7% believe that they have seen a UFO.
This belief is slightly paradoxical as we have zero evidence that aliens even exist. What’s more, given the vast distances between star systems, it seems odd we’d only learn about them from a visit. Evidence for aliens is more likely to come from signals from faraway planets.
The belief is now rising to the extent that politicians, at least in the US, feel they have to respond. The disclosure of information about claimed Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs rather than UFOs) from the Pentagon has got a lot of bi-partisan attention in the country.
Much of it plays upon familiar anti-elite tropes that both parties have been ready to use, such as the idea that the military and a secretive cabal of private commercial interests are keeping the deep truth about alien visitation hidden. That truth is believed to involve sightings, abductions and reverse-engineered alien technology.
Belief in a cover-up is even higher than belief in alien visitation. In 2019, a Gallop poll found that a staggering 68% of Americans believed that “the US government knows more about UFOs than it is telling”.
This political trend has been decades in the making. Jimmy Carter promised document disclosure during his presidential campaign in 1976, several years after his own reported UFO sighting. Like so many other sightings, the simplest explanation is that he saw Venus. (That happens a lot.)
Hillary Clinton also suggested she wanted to “open [Pentagon] files as much as I can” during her presidential campaign against Donald Trump. As seen in the video below, Trump suggested he’d need to “think about” whether it was possible to declassify the so-called Roswell documentation (relating to the notorious claimed crash of a UFO and the recovery of alien bodies).
Former president Bill Clinton claimed to have sent his chief of staff, John Podesta, down to Area 51, a highly classified US Air Force facility, just in case any of the rumours about alien technology at the site were true. It is worth nothing that Podesta is a long-time enthusiast for all things to do with UFOs.
The most prominent current advocate of document disclosure is the Democratic Senate leader Chuck Schumer. His stripped back 2023 UAP disclosure bill for revealing some UAP records was co-sponsored by three Republican senators.
Pentagon disclosure finally began during the early stages of Joe Biden’s term of office, but so far there has been nothing to see. Nothing looks like an encounter. Nothing looks close.
Still, the background noise does not go away.
Problems for society
All this is ultimately encouraging conspiracy theories, which could undermine trust in democratic institutions. There have been humorous calls to storm Area 51. And after the storming of the Capitol in 2021, this now looks like an increasingly dangerous possibility.
Too much background noise about UFOs and UAPs can also get in the way of legitimate science communication about the possibility of finding microbial extraterrestrial life. Astrobiology, the science dealing with such matters, has a far less effective publicity machine than UFOlogy.
History, a YouTube channel part owned by Disney, regularly delivers shows about “ancient aliens”. The show is now in its 20th season and the channel has 13.8 million subscribers. The Nasa astrobiology channel has a hard won 20,000 subscribers. Actual science finds itself badly outnumbered by entertainment repackaged as factual.
Alien visitation narratives have also repeatedly tried to hijack and overwrite the history and mythology of indigenous people.
The first steps in this direction go back to Alexander Kazantsev’s science fiction tale Explosion: The Story of a Hypothesis (1946). It presents the 1908 Tunguska meteorite impact event as a Nagasaki-like explosion of an alien spacecraft engine. In Kazantsev’s tale, a single giant black female survivor has been left stranded, equipped with special healing powers. This lead to her adoption as a shaman by the indigenous Evenki people.
Nasa and the space science community do support efforts such as the Native Skywatchers initiative set up by the indigenous Ojibwe and Lakota communities to ensure the survival of storytelling about the stars. There is a real and extensive network of indigenous scholarship about these matters.
But UFOlogists promise a far higher profile for indigenous history in return for the mashing together of genuine indigenous stories about life arriving from the skies with fictional tales about UFOs, repackaged as suppressed history.
The modern alien visitation narrative has not, after all, emerged out of indigenous communities. Quite the opposite. It emerged in part as a way for conspiracy-minded thinkers in a Europe torn apart by racism to “explain” how complex urban civilisations in places like South America could have existed prior to European settlement.
Squeezed through a new age filter of 1960s counterculture, the narrative was flipped to value indigenous people as having once possessed advanced technology. Once upon a time, according to this view, every indigenous civilisation was Wakanda, a fictional country appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.
If all of this stayed in its own box, as entertaining fiction, then matters would be fine. But it doesn’t, and they aren’t. Visitation narratives tend to overwrite indigenous storytelling about sky and ground.
This is a problem for everyone, not just indigenous peoples struggling to continue authentic traditions. It threatens our grasp of the past. When it comes to insight into our remote ancestors, the remnants of prehistoric storytelling are few and precious, such as within indigenous storytelling about the stars.
This may be why these tales in particular are heavily targeted by alien visitation enthusiasts, some of whom even claim to be “Pleiadeans”. No surprises, Pleiadeans do not look like the Lakota or Ojibwe, but are strikingly blond, blue-eyed and Nordic.
It is increasingly clear that belief in alien visitation is no longer just a fun speculation, but something that has real and damaging consequences.

Alien life is no joke
Alien life is no joke
Not long ago the search for extraterrestrials was considered laughable nonsense. Today, it’s serious and scientific
JWST captures clearest-ever image of M87 galaxy's supermassive black hole jet
The question of what constitutes evidence for an extraordinary claim made its appearance in the very first major UFO story. It was 24 June 1947, a good day for flying in the Pacific Northwest. The skies were clear and bright over Mineral, Washington. It was the middle of the day as the amateur pilot Kenneth Arnold found himself navigating his small single-engine plane past the towering peak of Mount Rainier toward an air show in Oregon. But he’d heard that a US Marine Corps transport plane had gone missing, and a reward was being offered for anyone who found its wreckage. Arnold decided to make a few circuits and have a look. He didn’t know it at the time, but he was flying straight into UFO history.
As Arnold surveyed the terrain below him, he saw a flash of light with a blue tinge. A DC-4 was flying off in the distance, but there were no flashing lights coming from it. Then the flashes appeared again. This time he saw exactly where they were coming from: nine objects flying in a diagonal formation, ‘like the tail of a Chinese kite’. Arnold watched as the objects banked and turned in ways that made him think he was watching some kind of advanced military aircraft, until they finally disappeared. The entire incident didn’t last long, but it left Arnold with ‘an eerie feeling’. After landing to refuel, he shared his story with friends at the airfield. What happened next would echo down history, shaping everything we think about UFOs and their connection to aliens from outer space.
Arnold’s tale spread quickly, and reporters from the East Oregonian asked him to come in and give more details. To the newspapermen, Arnold seemed like a credible witness and a careful observer. Laying out the timeline of what he saw, Arnold described both the craft and their motions. Exactly what happened next remains controversial, but when Arnold described the objects as moving like ‘a saucer if you skip it across the water’ he triggered a chain of events leading to one of the most outrageous misquotes in the history of journalism.
The story in the East Oregonian, a small paper, ran with the words ‘saucer-like aircraft’. But, when the Associated Press picked up the story, the description got even more garbled. What Arnold said he’d seen were flying craft shaped like a crescent with ‘wings’ that swept back in an arc. Somehow the AP wire story misinterpreted Arnold’s description, leading The Chicago Sun to run a story with a spectacular frontpage headline: ‘Supersonic Flying Saucers Sighted By Idaho Pilot.’
The Chicago Sun piece triggered an avalanche. Within six months, the flying saucer story ran in more than 140 newspapers across the US. Even more remarkable, an epidemic of flying-saucer sightings began to sweep the nation. By the end of summer in 1947, ‘flying saucers’ were officially a thing.
What’s important about the Roswell story is how loose even the idea of evidence becomes
One of the most important lessons I learned from the Arnold affair is the power of a story. Arnold saw the first flying saucer, and his sighting begins a critical thread in the public’s willingness to go along on evidence-free rides of thinking about aliens and UFOs. It was where the idea of technologically advanced, interstellar life here on Earth right now enters the public consciousness as a major phenomenon. But almost as quickly as UFOs appear, so does a UFO culture that tilts towards the incredulous and the paranoid, marked by a willingness to take anything as evidence. Of course, one could find many individuals taking an interest in UFOs while keeping their sceptical sensibilities, who just genuinely wanted to know what was going on. But, as a cultural phenomenon, public discussion of UFOs would come to be dominated by questionable evidence, conspiracy theories and outright hoaxes.
The Roswell affair embodies the most questionable evidence axis of UFO culture. The actual Roswell case involves a rancher who, just a few weeks after the Arnold sighting and its media craze, found some debris on his land made of sticks, wire and foil. While a short, initial hubbub ensued when a story in the local paper claimed the discovery of a flying saucer (what else), that claim was walked back the next day.
The brief affair was then forgotten for 30 years. It was only after that prolonged period that the Roswell story was resurrected in a series of bestselling books and TV ‘documentaries’ claiming a crashed saucer had been found on the ranch. But with each new book, the Roswell story became more complex and convoluted. Each new book added more so-called witnesses and more details, including the account of the mortician Glenn Dennis getting a chance to view the dead aliens. Some books said there were more saucers and more aliens, some dead and some not. Some even said alien bodies were viewed by none other than president Dwight Eisenhower.
What’s important about the Roswell story is how loose even the idea of evidence becomes. Anyone with a vague connection to the events and a story to tell gets added to the list of witnesses. New books pile on old books and theories multiply until even those claiming to be serious UFO researchers can’t sort out which version with how many saucers and bodies is the one they’re supposed to investigate; garden-variety enthusiasts are beyond confused.
While this might have seemed amusing to those on the sidelines at the time, it established a pattern of ‘anything goes’ in the public’s perception of UFOs and, by association, the question of alien life that continues to this day.
That loose relationship between extraordinary claims and the evidence for such claims also had a profound effect on me as a teenager interested in astronomy and the possibilities of extraterrestrial life.
At the time, I was reading both hard-science books (Sagan) and speculative works about UFO-related topics. For a time, I’d become enamoured of von Däniken’s book Chariots of the Gods (1968) and its claims that many archaeological mysteries could best be explained by ancient aliens who had once come to visit Earth. That time ended when, one evening, I chanced upon a PBS documentary called The Case of the Ancient Astronauts (1977). It presented interviews with scientists who had actually spent their lives studying the subjects of von Däniken’s ancient alien speculations. The simplicity with which hard-won archaeological evidence trumped von Däniken’s claims left me both angry (I felt duped by his book) and exhilarated. The establishment of proper standards for what counts as evidence is what set the archaeologists apart from von Däniken’s wishful fantasies. The experience of that stark difference ended my own interest in UFOs and visiting aliens of any historical epoch.
If it hadn’t made me so angry, it might have made me laugh – and it’s that giggle factor that has been so harmful to the establishment of the true scientific study of astrobiology that I work in now. When it comes to SETI, at least, UFOs made the nascent field an easy target for scorn. The first true SETI project occurred in 1960, when a young astronomer named Frank Drake used a radio telescope to search for ‘non-natural’ signals from two Sun-like stars. While Drake was looking for an intelligent life that could build technologies like radio transmitters, his project, in attempting to establish evidence for life beyond Earth, was the first true astrobiological experiment ever attempted.
Recognising Drake’s effort as the starting point for modern astrobiology is a rarely discussed but critical point. It’s also essential to understanding the remarkable moment the field stands in now because Drake’s search took that critical idea of standards of evidence seriously. In the design and application of his experiment, Drake and his colleagues paid close attention to questions of signals, noise and, most of all, false positives. They understood that they could be fooled into thinking they’d made a discovery by the data they gathered, and they attempted to prepare and protect themselves from that possibility. Drake’s SETI project and those that followed always attracted enormous popular attention. But building the field into a coherent, sustained scientific enterprise proved difficult, and it is here that UFOs got in the way.
In SETI’s heady first decades, a number of government science agencies had a healthy interest in the search for life, intelligent or otherwise. It was the US National Academy of Sciences that hosted an Interstellar Communications meeting where the Drake equation was born. And NASA was keen to go microbe hunting on the other planets in our solar system if they could be reached. As the 1960s turned into the ’70s, SETI scientists also worked with NASA in ways that went beyond radio astronomy, helping plan new telescope technologies for hunting exoplanets. There was even consideration of Project Cyclops, a massive array of a thousand radio telescopes sensitive enough to find unprecedentedly faint signals of intelligent life among the stars.
In all these projects, the scientists involved had to face the challenging task of understanding how to gather and evaluate evidence while simultaneously facing profound uncertainties concerning the target of that evidence. Researchers were well aware that, while we must begin with life as we know it (that is, Earth life), nature might have other ideas. Life, intelligent or otherwise, originating on a different world could follow entirely different trajectories. Though the field was nascent, astrobiology researchers made slow but steady progress in mapping out how to rigorously gather and evaluate data that would be relevant to the very open question of how life beyond our world might make its appearance.
The public political flogging of SETI as wasteful kookiness, with an implicit link to UFO kookiness, had begun
Then the politics and the UFOs showed up.
William Proxmire was a senator from Wisconsin who liked to think of himself as a fiscal hawk. He took it upon himself to bestow his Golden Fleece Award on anything he considered a waste of US tax dollars. Since the science projects he targeted got only meagre amounts of funding, Proxmire’s award was basically clever politics aimed at targets who couldn’t fight back. In 1978, NASA’s small portfolio of SETI funding fell into Proxmire’s crosshairs. He gave SETI the Golden Fleece Award and, being a powerful and influential senator, got his colleagues to keep the agency from providing any new funding. Proxmire only relented after Sagan, by then a well-respected public scientist, publicly intervened, meeting personally with the senator to discuss the issue. While the ban on SETI funding was eventually lifted in 1983, the public political flogging of SETI as wasteful kookiness, with an implicit link to UFO kookiness, had begun.
NASA’s SETI funding remained minuscule in the post-Proxmire period, but it was still a target. In 1990, NASA tried to ramp up its SETI funding, from $4 million to $12 million, for a new search in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. While this is less than chump change in the federal budget, some politicians once again smelled blood. Making the link to UFOs explicit, the congressman Silvio Conte of Massachusetts tried to kill the funding, claiming ‘we don’t need to spend $6 million this year to find evidence of these rascally creatures. We only need 75 cents to buy a tabloid at the local supermarket.’
The same game played out again a few years later. In 1993, those $12 million were finally allocated for the new search. Not wanting to attract more congressional attention, the project was stealthily called the High Resolution Microwave Survey. Unfortunately, the senator Richard Bryan from Nevada caught wind of the effort and saw it as an easy chance to make some headlines. He sponsored an amendment killing the project, announcing that would be ‘the end of Martian hunting season at the taxpayer’s expense’. Of course, Bryan knew NASA wasn’t planning on turning their telescopes towards Mars, but who cared? His quip made for great copy and linked SETI to the cultural fringes where UFO enthusiasm lived. What became known as the ‘giggle factor’ had killed the search for life in the Universe again.
In the wake of these very public whippings, NASA learned the lesson that SETI was political poison. While SETI scientists such as Drake and the unstoppable Jill Tarter did their best to show that the field lived within those necessary scientific standards of evidence, the damage was done. While the agency did what it could in the decades that followed, it became an accepted truth among researchers that federal support was going to be hard to come by. SETI scientists soldiered on, raising private money where they could. But, for all intents and purposes, it was running on fumes. The giggle factor had won.
Choking off SETI funding had important consequences for the search for life in the Universe because, basically, it meant there was no search for life in the Universe. Using big telescopes costs big money. If there was no funding for SETI, then no telescope time would be granted for SETI. The political temperament that held sway for so long means our sky has effectively remained unexplored. We simply have not looked.
It’s impossible to deny the role UFOs had in the development of this history. As the historian Stephen Garber put it in an article about SETI and NASA, the field ‘had always suffered from a “giggle factor” that derived from its association in the popular press with searchers for “little green men” and unidentified flying objects’. Because of this association, astronomers never got the chance to get a real search started.
In the early 1990s, it did seem that no one was very interested in the scientific possibilities for life beyond Earth. NASA’s 1976 Viking landers conducted biology experiments on Mars that appeared to close the door on the Red Planet as a home for even microbial life. The trail for life of any kind seemed to have gone cold.
Then, in the mid-1990s, everything changed.
In 1995, scientists announced that they had discovered the first planet orbiting another star – an exoplanet. It was an epoch-making moment. After 2,500 years of arguing about the existence of other worlds, we’d finally proven that the planets in our solar system were not a rarity. Soon, exoplanets were being discovered across the sky. Now we know that pretty much every star you see at night hosts a family of worlds. The next big change came when scientists found a chunk of Mars in Antarctica. The meteorite blown off the red planet (from an ancient asteroid impact) appeared to have signs of fossil life. While that conclusion is no longer accepted, at the time it drove president Bill Clinton to direct NASA to go back to Mars and look for life. Between the discovery of exoplanets and the possibilities of ancient life on Mars, NASA got into astrobiology in a big way. Funding for new research opened up, allowing new and exciting ideas to be proposed and pursued.
Remarkably, when it comes to exoplanets, we are now also able to see exactly which planets are in their star’s habitable zone, where liquid water (the key, we believe, for life) can exist. That means we know exactly where to look in our search for life (something Drake could only dream of).
Even more remarkably, astronomers have learned how to look for alien life on alien worlds using starlight that’s traversed the world’s atmosphere and is then absorbed by a variety of chemicals on the surface. This means we can search for biosignatures – signatures of chemicals that could be in a planets’ atmosphere only because life has put it there.
An open investigation of UAPs could offer a masterclass in how science goes about its business of knowing
Spectacular advances in the hunt for biosignatures have meant a profound refinement in the all-important standards of evidence. The earliest version of a biosignature was the presence of oxygen in an alien atmosphere. On Earth, oxygen is a significant atmospheric constituent only because photosynthetic organisms keep it there. Over the past decade, however, astronomers have discovered key mechanisms through which planets without life might generate oxygen-rich air. This was a crucial step in developing methods for evaluating false positives – the ways we think we’ve gained evidence for life but are, in fact, being fooled. Sophisticated statistical methods for evaluating false positives, as well as other challenges astrobiological evidence will present, are now a robust part of biosignature science.
All these new discoveries and new methods are transforming what we think of as SETI too. A new research field is rising that scientists are calling technosignatures, which embraces the ‘classic’ efforts of SETI while taking the search for intelligent life into new forms and new directions. (Some scientists still use SETI to refer to the field and that’s OK. But for many, including myself, ‘technosignatures’ correctly captures all that is changing in the field.) Rather than planning for someone to set up a beacon announcing their presence (one premise of the first generation of SETI), we can now look directly at the planets where those civilisations might be just going about their business of ‘civilisation-ing’. By searching for signatures of an alien society’s day-to-day activities (a technosignature), we’re building entirely new toolkits to find intelligent, civilisation-building life.
It was in 2019 that NASA awarded me and my colleagues the first grant to study atmospheric technosignatures. While there are still only a handful of technosignature grants compared with biosignature studies, it was the first indication that the giggle factor was finally waning. Since then, our group has worked hard to provide new examples of possible technosignatures including some that might be searched for with the James Webb Space Telescope. We’ve also demonstrated that there is no reason to suppose that biosignatures will be more common than technosignatures. Since the exact same techniques are required to search for both bio- and technosignatures, there’s every reason to carry out both kinds of search at the same time.
And those standards of evidence developed for biosignature searches will be just as relevant for technosignature work. Our group, led by the astrophysicist Manasvi Lingam from the Florida Institute of Technology, recently published the first work attempting to lay out a framework for evaluating false positives in technosignatures. While there is enormous work ahead of us, it’s projects like these that will allow us to fully understand the confidence we can ascribe to any claim of an intelligent-life detection.
With the giggle factor receding for the scientific search for life, where does that leave UFOs and UAPs? There, the waters remain muddied. It is a good thing that pilots feel they can report sightings without fear of reprisal as a matter of air safety and national defence. And an open, transparent and agnostic investigation of UAPs could offer a masterclass in how science goes about its business of knowing rather than just believing. In The Little Book of Aliens, I even explained how such an investigation might be conducted (the recent NASA UAP panel and the Galileo Project are exploring these kinds of options). But if my colleagues and I claimed we’d found life on another world, we’d be required to provide evidence that meets the highest scientific standards. While we should let future studies lead us where they may, there is simply no such evidence surrounding UFOs and UAPs that meets these standards today. In fact, at a recent hearing conducted by NASA’s UAP panel, it was revealed that government studies show only a small percentage of reported sightings failed to find a reasonable explanation. Many of the remaining cases did not have enough data to even begin an attempt at identification. The sky is simply not awash in unexplained phenomena.
In the end, what matters is that, after thousands of years of arguing over opinions about life in the Universe, our collective scientific efforts have taken us to the point where we can finally begin a true scientific study of the question. The next big space telescope NASA is planning will be called the Habitable Worlds Observatory. The name tells you all you need to know. We’re going all in on the search for life in the Universe because we finally have the capabilities to search for life in the Universe. The giggle factor is finally history.

National Archives Upload Sparks Renewed Interest in the Roswell Incident
National Archives Upload Sparks Renewed Interest in the Roswell Incident
A nearly 22-minute video titled “The Roswell Incident” has recently appeared on the official website of the U.S. National Archives, stirring fresh curiosity around one of the most famous UFO cases in history. The 1947 Roswell event, long shrouded in secrecy and speculation, has been at the heart of countless books, documentaries, and debates about extraterrestrial life.
The sudden appearance of the video—uploaded without fanfare—has triggered widespread discussion online, with many UFO enthusiasts claiming it could contain new evidence related to the alleged crash of an unidentified flying object in New Mexico nearly eight decades ago.
Ross Coulthart: “Just Having a Bit of Fun”
Veteran investigative journalist Ross Coulthart, who has spent years reporting on unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), spoke with NewsNation Prime about the upload. He cautioned viewers not to jump to conclusions, emphasizing that there is no verified archival footage of the 1947 Roswell crash.
According to Coulthart, the video is unlikely to represent authentic government documentation of alien debris or bodies. Instead, he suggested the appearance of the material may be someone “just having a bit of a fun game.”
Why the Roswell Story Endures
Despite repeated efforts by the U.S. military and skeptics to explain the Roswell case—most notably as the crash of a high-altitude surveillance balloon—public interest has never disappeared. The possibility of a cover-up, combined with decades of secrecy surrounding UFO research, has cemented Roswell as a cultural touchstone in discussions about extraterrestrial life.
The latest development highlights how easily speculation can reignite. Even when experts like Coulthart dismiss claims of new evidence, the Roswell incident remains an enduring mystery that continues to capture the imagination of the public.
What This Means Going Forward
The posting of “The Roswell Incident” in the National Archives underscores two ongoing themes in the UFO debate:
Public hunger for disclosure:Any new document, image, or video linked to Roswell instantly becomes a focal point for enthusiasts and researchers.
Need for verification: As Coulthart stresses, without reliable provenance or supporting evidence, such materials risk spreading misinformation rather than shedding light on historical truth.
For now, the video may add more questions than answers. But in the broader context of recent congressional hearings, military whistleblower testimonies, and growing calls for transparency, it reinforces how the Roswell crash of 1947 continues to shape the conversation about what might be hiding in the skies above us.
Using data collected by the Cassini spacecraft, scientists have found that these ice crystals are packed with complex organic molecules.
According to a new study, some of these molecules could be part of the chain of chemical reactions that ultimately lead to life.
The researchers say this discovery means Enceladus now 'ticks all the boxes' to be a world capable of supporting life.
The moon has a constant supply of liquid water, a source of energy from hydrothermal vents, and the right set of chemical elements and complex organic molecules.
Lead researcher Dr Nozair Khawaja, of Freie Universität Berlin, says: 'Even not finding life on Enceladus would be a huge discovery, because it raises serious questions about why life is not present in such an environment when the right conditions are there.'
Scientists have found that grains of ice spewed from Enceladus, Saturn's sixth–largest moon, contain organic compounds that could lead to life. Pictured: Enceladus' south pole as seen by the Cassini spacecraft
The European Space Agency found that water forced up from the underground ocean carried a set of complex organic molecules that are likely produced by chemical reactions around deep hydrothermal vents
What is Enceladus?
Enceladus is Saturn's sixth–largest moon, at 313 miles wide (504 kilometres).
It is an icy satellite with hydrothermal activity – a rare combination – with vents spewing water vapour and ice particles out from a global ocean buried beneath the moon's frozen crust.
According to NASA observations, the plume includes organic compounds, volatile gases, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, salts, and silica.
Microbes on our planet either produce these compounds or use them for growth, leading some to speculate that tiny organisms live in Enceladus' hidden ocean.
On the surface, conditions are exceptionally cold with temperatures as low as –201°C (–330°F).
However, in 2005, scientists discovered that a huge liquid ocean was actually trapped beneath the icy shell.
Jets of water erupt like geysers through cracks near the South Pole and, while some fall back down to the surface, some escape and form a ring around Saturn that traces the moon's orbit.
Dr Khawaja says: 'Cassini was detecting samples from Enceladus all the time as it flew through Saturn's E ring.
'We had already found many organic molecules in these ice grains, including precursors for amino acids.'
But some of these grains were hundreds of years old, so the scientists couldn't be sure whether the chemicals within had been altered by radiation from the sun.
In 2005, the Cassini spacecraft discovered striking tectonic faults at the south pole known as 'tiger stripes' (bottom right). These allow ice to escape from the oceans into space
Some of the ice falls back to the lunar surface, but much of it escapes into space, where it forms a ring around Saturn. In 2005, the Cassini spacecraft gathered samples from this ring and found that the ice contained organic molecules. Pictured: Artist's impression of Enceladus' surface
That changed when Cassini flew straight through Enceladus' spray in 2008, gathering ice crystals on its Cosmic Dust Analyser (CDA) as they emerged from the moon's interior.
As Cassini whipped through the cloud at 11 miles per second (18 km/s), it gathered the freshest and fastest ever collected.
That speed actually makes a big difference to the quality of the data, since it helps scientists separate water from other interesting molecules.
'At lower impact speeds, the ice shatters, and the signal from clusters of water molecules can hide the signal from certain organic molecules,' explains Dr Khawaja.
'But when the ice grains hit CDA fast, water molecules don't cluster, and we have a chance to see these previously hidden signals.'
After spending years working through the vast amounts of data collected by Cassini, Dr Khawaja and his co–authors have finally confirmed that these fresh ice crystals also contain organic molecules.
Those molecules included some that had been found around Saturn and some new chemicals that hadn't been detected before.
That means the molecules found in Saturn's ring and in Enceladus' ice geyser must be formed within the moon's ocean, not created later by reactions with solar radiation.
Cassini (artist's impression) was able to fly directly through the plumes of ice emerging from the south pole and gather tiny particles of ice at extremely high speeds. This proved that the organic molecules found in Saturn's ring were formed in Enceladus' ocean
On Earth, these molecules are part of the chemical reactions that lead to life. This means that the moon now 'ticks all the boxes' to be a habitable world capable of sustaining living organisms
On Earth, these organic molecules are involved in the chains of chemical reactions which lead to life, raising the tantalising possibility that Enceladus could be home to life.
Dr Khawaja says: 'There are many possible pathways from the organic molecules we found in the Cassini data to potentially biologically relevant compounds, which enhances the likelihood that the moon is habitable.'
In the future, ESA is planning to launch a mission to Enceladus that will collect more grains of ice from the South Pole plumes and even land on the moon's surface.
This would be the first time that any space agency has landed on Enceladus and could reveal more details about the possible conditions for life.
Cassini launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida in 1997, then spent seven years in transit followed by 13 years orbiting Saturn.
An artist's impression of the Cassini spacecraft studying Saturn
In 2000 it spent six months studying Jupiter before reaching Saturn in 2004.
In that time, it discovered six more moons around Saturn, three-dimensional structures towering above Saturn's rings, and a giant storm that raged across the planet for nearly a year.
On 13 December 2004 it made its first flyby of Saturn's moons Titan and Dione.
On 24 December it released the European Space Agency-built Huygens probe on Saturn's moon Titan to study its atmosphere and surface composition.
There it discovered eerie hydrocarbon lakes made from ethane and methane.
In 2008, Cassini completed its primary mission to explore the Saturn system and began its mission extension (the Cassini Equinox Mission).
In 2010 it began its second mission (Cassini Solstice Mission) which lasted until it exploded in Saturn's atmosphere.
In December 2011, Cassini obtained the highest resolution images of Saturn's moon Enceladus.
In December of the following year it tracked the transit of Venus to test the feasibility of observing planets outside our solar system.
In March 2013 Cassini made the last flyby of Saturn's moon Rhea and measured its internal structure and gravitational pull.
Cassini didn't just study Saturn - it also captured incredible views of its many moons. In the image above, Saturn's moon Enceladus can be seen drifting before the rings and the tiny moon Pandora. It was captured on Nov. 1, 2009, with the entire scene is backlit by the Sun
In July of that year Cassini captured a black-lit Saturn to examine the rings in fine detail and also captured an image of Earth.
In April of this year it completed its closest flyby of Titan and started its Grande Finale orbit which finished on September 15.
'The mission has changed the way we think of where life may have developed beyond our Earth,' said Andrew Coates, head of the Planetary Science Group at Mullard Space Science Laboratory at University College London.
'As well as Mars, outer planet moons like Enceladus, Europa and even Titan are now top contenders for life elsewhere,' he added. 'We've completely rewritten the textbooks about Saturn.'
We tend to fear and project our shadow onto strangers.
Evil is, and should be, one of life's "ultimate concerns."
It is incumbent upon us to recognize, acknowledge, and constructively address the reality of evil.
The mysterious phenomenon of UFOs or UAPs inevitably touches on matters of religion, spirituality, morality, and psychology, including our innate quest for meaning and, especially, on the perennial problem of evil. We humans possess a primal, perhaps instinctual proclivity to perceive and deem that which we do not understand, i.e., the unknown, as negative, destructive, or evil.
In Part 1 of this post, I addressed some of the psychological dynamics and existential needs (e.g., meaninglessness and alienation in a mysterious cosmos, dread of the stranger or "other," seeking a messianic "ultimate rescuer," etc.) that can foster belief in UFOs, extraterrestrial visitation or abduction, etc.
Fervent, far-fetched, unswerving and unlikely reports with absolutely no objective evidence or corroboration can, in some cases, sound like the stuff of delusions or hallucinations heard every day in psychiatric wards around the world. And like hallucinations and delusions, these reported experiences can sometimes serve as a sort of projective test, revealing hidden conflicts, fears, resentments, repressed memories, traumas, and anxieties (and sometimes positive feelings, wishes, talents, potentialities, aspirations or beliefs) not only in the psyche of individual experiencers but deeply rooted in our collective unconscious psyche as well.
However, having said all that, this is in no way intended by me to dismiss or deny the objective reality of the UFO or UAP phenomenon but rather only to provide some psychological context within which to try to better comprehend, explain, and come to terms with it. Given some of the most recent information and imagery released by the government, for example, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, chair of a federal declassification task force, telling Joe Rogan (August, 2025) that she’s seen classified photos of objects “not created by mankind,” New York Times articles (2018, 2020) on UAPs offering several images of unidentified objects captured via video by the U.S. military, and thousands of eye-witness accounts by airline pilots, military personnel, police, etc., and other reliable and credible witnesses, it can no longer be denied that strange objects have been observed.
As with Hermann Rorschach's famous inkblots, we tend to project our deepest hopes and fears onto such enigmatic and ambiguous phenomena. Indeed, human beings are prone, as C.G. Jung theorized in his concept of the "shadow," to project our own capacity for evil onto the "other"--be they our partner, neighbor, co-worker, or someone of a different race, religion, ethnicity, nationality, gender, political leaning, or sexual orientation--thus preserving our narcissistic and one-sided, unidimensional image of ourselves as being good, kind, caring people while consciously or unconsciously harboring hostility, hatred, resentment, distrust, and dread of the unknown other or stranger.
What is a demon? It is a creature not of this world. Foreign to us in almost every way. They traveled to us with magic we probably don't understand.
This dangerous and destructive dynamic is exemplified today in the excessive polarization, paranoia, and interpersonal hostility pervading American culture, manifesting in racism, antisemitism, political enmity, and defensive isolationism. But other nations and people engage in similar projection of the shadow, in the process, dehumanizing, devaluing, and demeaning the perceived enemy.
Human beings historically harbor a primal fear of the "other" and the "unknown" and superstitiously see them as threatening harbingers of evil, whether these are people of different races, ethnicities, nationalities, or religions or uninvited and unwelcome strangers from outer space. We project our so-called shadow, viewing them as the evil enemy. (See, for example, former PT contributing editor Sam Keen's 1991 book Faces of the Enemy.) Consequentially, we are prone to attacking, verbally or physically, the unknown object of our fears, which causes untold interpersonal and international conflict and unspeakable suffering.
On the other hand, belief in UFOs and alien beings can be a way of wishing to be rescued from evil, much like the belief in a loving and good god or messiah (see my prior post on the messiah complex). This presumes the intrinsic benevolence and goodness of aliens. But is the problem or existential reality of evil indigenous to the human race or could it be present in extraterrestrial civilization as well? Whatever these foreign objects and their occupants (or remote or robotic pilots) are and wherever they come from, they have now become an integral part of our modern collective myth, for better or worse.
To many folks, the only difference is their motivations. Are they here to be friend or foe? Whether they got here via science or magic is meaningless compared to how they want to greet us?
If aliens, assuming they truly exist, eventually turn out not to be trustworthy, demonstrating hostility, aggression, malice, evil intentions and pose a mortal threat to humanity, as depicted for example in H.G. Wells' (1897) science fiction novel War of the Worlds, they will need to be fought and resisted despite their superior technology if humanity is to survive. That they even possess or represent such a potentiality for evil is for some people frightening reason enough to deny their existence entirely. Not to mention the shattering impact that the reality of alien life would have on our religious, philosophical, and scientific beliefs.
Of course, another at least equally likely scenario in any close encounter with aliens has humanity as the initial aggressor, violently attacking these possibly well-intentioned, empathic, and peaceful visitors, as portrayed in another classic 1951 sci-fi flick The Day the Earth Stood Still. Indeed, it is at least equally possible that such enigmatic alien entities mean no harm by their presence or may actually wish to help society and humanity survive and thrive. That their mission here is to save us from ourselves.
Have evolved extraterrestrials, very unlike humanity, found some way to transcend, mitigate, or even eliminate the pernicious problem of evil that has plagued humanity from time immemorial? If so, would that make them immune to the tendency toward evil? Is this even a realistic possibility? It represents an optimistic but potentially very naive and, therefore, risky view which to assume would be wishful thinking. Because many people tend, as did humanistic psychologist Carl Rogers, to believe in the intrinsic goodness of others, we will likely give any extraterrestrial visitors the benefit of the doubt initially, presuming that by providing them a warm, friendly, supportive, empathic welcome (demonstrating "positive regard") they will choose to respond in kind. Perhaps.
But until we know for certain much more about these supposedly extraterrestrial strangers, whomever or whatever they are, we would do well to keep in mind the existential capacity for evil, not only potentially in them but especially in ourselves. For all we know, the problem of evil may reside inherently and exclusively in the terrestrial human condition but, then again, could turn out to be a pervasive and ubiquitous universal reality, one which, as here on Earth, can lead to catastrophic consequences when denied, minimized, or ignored.
Just like not every demon is evil.
The phenomenon of human evil, if proven to be indigenous and exclusive to our species, can be conceived of as a kind of malignant cancer capable in the future of metastasizing to the farthest reaches of creation. Thus it is crucial for we human beings to better comprehend the psychology of evil. The more we are willing to study, confront, and acknowledge the phenomenon of human evil, doing our best to understand, mitigate and control it, the less likely we are to engage in evil directed toward aliens, be they human or extraterrestrial. It is only natural to hope that visiting aliens have transcended, outgrown or eliminated the evil tendencies with which we humans still so tragically struggle.
The more likely scenario is that, if extraterrestrials do indeed exist, they are, for better or worse, probably something like us: creatures inherently capable of both good and evil.

Hey 10,000 years ago (~8000 BCE) this skull was above the water, This was the late Stone Age in Mesoamerica. People were still hunter-gatherers, gradually beginning to cultivate early crops like maize, beans, and squash. A skull sculpture wasn’t just about death — it embodied the cycle of life, sacrifice, rebirth, and divine power. It reminded people that life was temporary, but through ritual, they could help keep the universe in balance.
They didn't create this for us, they did it as a reminder that it was their territory, their land, owned by them forever.
