President Ronald Reagan Felt Burden Of Knowing Aliens Exist, Sept 1983 United Nations Speech, Video, UFO Sighting News.
President Ronald Reagan Felt Burden Of Knowing Aliens Exist, Sept 1983 United Nations Speech, Video, UFO Sighting News.
Date of speeches: Sept 16, 1983
Location of speech: United Nations
Below is a video, of US President Reagan speaking at three different engagements, and in each...he tries to leak the truth...that aliens exist. He really tried hard to inform the public, even when he knew it was against national security to do so. On Sept 16, 1983, US President Ronald Reagan gave a memorable speech in front of the United Nations. In it, he subtly suggests that aliens exist and that all of humanity could be lost if they decide to attack. President Reagan states:
Perhaps we need some outside, universal threat to make us recognize this common bond. I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world.
Of course President Reagan had inside information from the CIA and NASA and was told that aliens do exist. But he couldn't just come out and say so without breaking national security rules. So instead...he subtly hinted to the rest of the world leaders about what he had learned from the CIA and NASA. He also knows that a small percentage of the other presidents at the United Nations meeting also knew about the existence of aliens. He even hints at one other president...he talked to the General Secretary Gorbachov...who then later became Russian president. Now pondering about world peace is nice...but I feel that President Reagan felt a weight on his shoulders...a burden of carrying this knowledge of the existence of aliens. Remember its was the 1980s and back they the technology was very inferior to today tech marvels. It must have been very frightening for him to know that aliens existed, but to have so few people he could sit down and talk about this subject openly. Watch the video below and see. He is trying to tell the world the truth...that aliens exist. Scott C. Waring

Antarctica’s Secret Alien Cover-Up
Antarctica’s Secret Alien Cover-Up
UFO in Antarctica
Antarctica is a land of mystery, a place where secrets are kept hidden beneath layers of ice and snow. It is a place where strange things happen, where rumors of alien activity have circulated for years. Could it be that Antarctica is home to an ancient extraterrestrial civilization that has been hidden from us all along?
According to ancient astronaut theorists, there is far more going on in Antarctica than we have been told. The sheer depth of the ice covering the landmass has made it impossible for us to see what lies beneath. But there are those who believe that something is happening on this mysterious continent, something that suggests the presence of an alien base.
In July 2018, Linda Moltenhow interviewed a whistleblower who claimed to have visited an ancient structure in Antarctica. The whistleblower, identified only as Spartan One, described the structure as an octagonal shape protruding from the ice. He claimed that the doors to the structure, which were between 18 and 30 feet thick, could be opened with just one finger, despite the outside temperature being 40 degrees below zero.
Inside the structure, Spartan One reported that the temperature was an astonishing 68 to 72 degrees, and the walls were lined with hieroglyphics unlike anything he had ever seen before. He speculated that buried beneath the ice in Antarctica could be stone temple constructions and biological remains of beings that once lived there.
Could it be that Antarctica is home to an extraterrestrial civilization that has been hidden from us for thousands of years? If the rumors are true, it would be the greatest reveal in all of human history. It is no surprise that the government and military personnel have kept a tight lid on any information about the possible existence of an alien base in Antarctica.
The idea of ancient aliens and their possible influence on our history and technology has been a topic of debate for many years. The ancient astronaut theory suggests that extraterrestrial beings have visited our planet in the distant past and have had a profound impact on human civilization. Could it be that Antarctica is the key to unlocking this ancient mystery?
While there is no concrete evidence to support the idea of an alien base in Antarctica, the rumors and speculation continue to circulate. It is a place that holds our imagination and fuels our curiosity. The idea that something so incredible could be hidden beneath layers of ice and snow is enough to keep us all wondering what else lies hidden in the depths of this frozen continent.

Carl Sagan Explains The Cosmos Using Drake Equation, To Find How Many Intelligent Civilizations In Our Galaxy. UFO Sighting News.
The Drake Equation is a formula that attempts to estimate the number of intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy with whom communication might be possible. The equation takes into account a number of factors, including the rate of star formation, the fraction of stars with planets, and the number of planets that could support life.
The Drake Equation is often used as a starting point for discussions about the possibility of extraterrestrial life, but it is important to note that the values used for each parameter are highly uncertain and could vary widely depending on a number of factors. Using the Drake Equation to estimate the number of intelligent alien species in the universe is difficult, as it requires making assumptions about a number of unknown factors.
However, some estimates suggest that there could be as many as 10 billion intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way galaxy alone. It is important to note, however, that these estimates are highly speculative and subject to significant uncertainty. As we continue to explore the universe and gather more data about the conditions necessary for life, our estimates of the number of intelligent alien species in the universe may change.

UFO Sighting in Quebec: Telepathic Chat with Pleiadians
UFO Sighting in Quebec: Telepathic Chat with Pleiadians
UFO Sighting in Quebec: Telepathic Chat with Pleiadians?
On the 10th of August 2022, a driver in St-Élie-de-Caxton, Quebec, Canada, witnessed a mysterious UFO in the sky. The object was large and silvery white, with some small darker vessels below it. The driver was able to film the UFO, but the camera failed to capture the full extent of what the driver’s eyes could see.
The sighting was not just a random event, as another witness from a nearby town also saw the UFO and confirmed the presence of smaller vessels below the main one. However, what set this sighting apart from others was the fact that the driver claimed to have chatted telepathically with the UFO afterwards, and it identified itself as a Pleiadian spacecraft.
The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters, is a star cluster located in the Taurus constellation, and it has been the subject of much fascination for many years. According to believers in the existence of extraterrestrial life, the Pleiadians are an advanced race of beings who have been visiting Earth for a long time. They are said to be peaceful and benevolent and have been working to help humanity in various ways.
The driver’s telepathic chat with the Pleiadian craft was an extraordinary event, but it raises a lot of questions. How did the driver know that the craft was a Pleiadian spaceship? Was the chat genuine, or was it just a figment of the driver’s imagination? These are difficult questions to answer, and it’s up to each person to decide what they believe.
Despite the skepticism that some may have towards the driver’s experience, it’s worth noting that there have been many reports of people claiming to have had telepathic communications with extraterrestrial beings. In some cases, these contacts have led to profound changes in people’s lives, inspiring them to become more spiritual or pursue a deeper understanding of the universe.
In any case, the sighting in Quebec is an exciting event that adds to the long list of mysterious and unexplained phenomena that continue to fascinate people around the world. Whether or not the driver’s telepathic chat with the Pleiadian craft was genuine, it’s clear that the event had a profound impact on the driver and may inspire others to keep an open mind about the possibility of life beyond Earth.

Incredible Bill Herrmann UFO & Alien Abduction Case
Incredible Bill Herrmann UFO & Alien Abduction Case
Bill Herrmann UFO & Alien Abduction case
William J. Hermann’s experience with a UFO and alleged alien abduction in 1978 is a remarkable story that still generates interest among people interested in the UFO phenomenon. Hermann’s story is unique in that he claimed to have taken photographs of the UFO, which were eventually authenticated by photo experts. Furthermore, his story of being taken aboard the UFO and examined by humanoid beings during a hypnosis session is intriguing.
Bill Herrmann UFO photo of a flying saucer
Hermann’s experience began in November of 1977 when he claimed to have had a series of sightings of a UFO over Charleston, South Carolina. On January 22, 1978, he was finally able to take nine photographs of the object. Two months later, he claimed to have had a close encounter with the same UFO. According to Hermann, the disc he had sighted earlier reappeared and came toward him. It sent out a light beam that paralyzed him, causing him to lose consciousness. He awoke three hours later 15 miles away and watched the UFO depart.
After reporting the incident to the police, Hermann began suffering from insomnia and general nervousness and unrest. He eventually submitted to hypnosis under the guidance of James A. Harder, a prominent UFO researcher associated with the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization. During the hypnosis, he recalled being aboard the UFO and examined by three humanoid creatures with large hairless heads, oversized eyes, pale skin, and red clothing. One of the three spoke to him, but his mouth did not appear to move. He was given a brief tour of the spacecraft and then lost consciousness. He claimed the beings were from Zeta Reticuli and had been observing Earth for half a century. They were concerned about humanity’s tendencies toward war and warned that our violent natures would destroy human civilization.
Video #1: Bill Herrmann’s 1978 UFO Encounter and Alien Abduction: Details from his Hypnosis Session
In the weeks following the hypnosis session, Hermann claimed to have other sightings and began channeling messages from the people who had abducted him. He also produced a metal bar that he claimed came from the aliens, which was eventually shown to be made of lead and antimony, similar in content to the material in an automobile battery. In May of 1979, Hermann claimed to have had a final contact with the saucer beings, who took him for a ride.
Video #2: Bill Herrmann’s 1978 Encounter: Capturing Photos of a Hovering UFO Close to Charleston Air Force Base
As Hermann’s story became more widely known, he coauthored a more complete account of his story with Wendelle Stevens, a publisher of UFO contactee material (Amazon link). The volume circulated in the contactee subculture but was generally dismissed by ufologists as lacking any collaboration.
Overall, William J. Hermann’s experience is a fascinating example of an alleged UFO encounter and alien abduction that has captured the imagination of people interested in the UFO phenomenon for decades. While skeptics may dismiss his story, it is clear that Hermann truly believed in what he experienced, and it remains an intriguing part of UFO lore.

Beyond SETI: How AI and Interferometry are Advancing the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
Beyond SETI: How AI and Interferometry are Advancing the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) has been ongoing for decades, but recent advances in technology have made it possible to detect signals from other civilizations with greater sensitivity and specificity. One such development is the deployment of a powerful signal processor on the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa, which uses a technique called interferometry to combine its 64 dishes to act as a single telescope.
Interferometry is a method of combining multiple telescopes to improve their resolution and sensitivity. By measuring the phase difference of the signals received by each dish, the interferometer can determine the direction and shape of the incoming waves. This technique is better able to pinpoint where in the sky a signal comes from, which will drastically reduce false positives from radio interference.
MeerKAT Radio Telescope
The MeerKAT telescope is a precursor to the Square Kilometre Array (SKA), a mega-telescope that will consist of thousands of dishes and antennas spread across southern Africa and Australia. The SKA will be the largest radio telescope in the world, with a total collecting area of one square kilometer. It will be able to detect radio waves from the early universe, distant galaxies, and potentially, extraterrestrial civilizations.
The search for technosignatures, or signs of technological activity, is a key part of the SETI program. If astronomers do manage to detect a technosignature that can’t be explained away as interference, it would strongly suggest humans aren’t the sole creators of technology within the Milky Way. This would be one of the most profound discoveries imaginable, as it would have profound implications for our understanding of the universe and our place in it.
At the same time, if we detect nothing, that doesn’t necessarily mean we’re the only technologically-capable “intelligent” species around. A non-detection could also mean we haven’t looked for the right type of signals, or our telescopes aren’t yet sensitive enough to detect faint transmissions from distant exoplanets. We may need to cross a sensitivity threshold before a Cambrian Explosion of discoveries can be made.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing a key role in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI). With vast amounts of data being generated by telescopes like MeerKAT, AI algorithms can sift through the noise to identify signals that might indicate the presence of alien technology.
One example of AI’s application in SETI is the Breakthrough Listen project, which uses machine learning to analyze huge amounts of data collected from telescopes around the world. The algorithms are designed to identify patterns that might indicate the presence of an extraterrestrial signal, and they can work much faster than humans could on their own.
Another way AI is being used is to help refine the search parameters. As our understanding of what to look for expands, machine learning models can be trained to identify and prioritize the most promising targets. For example, some scientists are using AI to predict where in the sky we are most likely to find habitable exoplanets, which could help focus our search efforts.
Overall, AI is a powerful tool in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, and it’s likely to become even more important as we continue to collect more data and refine our techniques. With the help of machine learning algorithms, we may one day be able to answer one of the most profound questions in human history: are we alone in the universe?

UFOs of the Gigantic Size: Motherships from the Stars?
UFOs of the Gigantic Size: Motherships from the Stars?
Nick Redfern
My previous article was on the subject of small, mysterious objects seen in the skies for decades. Today, however, I'm going to foucus on huge UFOs: the exact opposite. So, let's have a lok at some of the biggest UFOs out there. UFOs come in all sorts of shapes: flying saucers, cigar-shaped craft, flying triangles, and rocket-like vehicles. And that's just the start of it. There is also the matter of the sizes of some of these craft. Indeed, there are a number of cases that suggest at least some UFOs are massive in size. And that's what today's article is all about. With that said, let's take a look at some cases that fall into that giant-sized category. As its staff state: "The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) is responsible for the regulation of aviation safety in the U.K., determining policy for the use of airspace, the economic regulation of Heathrow, Gatwick and Stansted airports, the licensing and financial fitness of airlines and the management of the ATOL financial protection scheme for holidaymakers." Over the years the CAA has received more than a few UFO reports, which is hardly surprising. The same goes for numerous military agencies around the world, too. But, it was the period of the 1950s that really got the "huge UFOs" phenomenon going.
UFOs come in all sorts of shapes: flying saucers, cigar-shaped craft, flying triangles, and rocket-like vehicles. And that's just the start of it.

Over the years the CAA has received more than a few UFO reports, which is hardly surprising. Let's take a look at one such CAA report that is focused on a UFO of huge proportions. The summary of the report reads as follows: "12 Jun 82 Dinkelsbuhi – Large translucent object 500 feet long at 41,000 feet. ATCC [Air Traffic Control Center] requested subject aircraft to investigate this object which was found to have the form of a double rectangle surmounted by a globe (egg shape) crowned by a silver cone. Object observed by all on board."
(Nick Redfern) The U.K. National Archives: This is where the files on the 1957 story (below) of a huge UFO can be found.
Now, let's take a leap back to the 1950s. On the morning of April 4, 1957 – according to now-declassified British Royal Air Force documents housed at the National Archive, Kew, England – radar operators at Balscalloch, Scotland reported to RAF West Freugh, Wigtownshire that they had detected a number of "unidentified objects on the screens of their radars." And it quickly became apparent this was no Cold War penetration of British airspace by Soviet spy-planes or bombers. As the mystified radar-operators watched their screens, they were amazed to see a large, stationary object hovering at 50,000 feet that then proceeded to ascend vertically to no less than 70,000 feet. According to the files: "A second radar was switched on and detected the object at the same range and height." Most significant of all at this stage was the assessment by the radar experts of the incredible proportions of the UFOs: "It was noted by the radar operators that the sizes of the echoes were considerably larger than would be expected from normal aircraft. In fact they considered that the size was nearer that of a ship’s echo."
Consider this case from 1951, which is described in the files of Fort Monmouth, New Jersey: "“On September 20, Andrew J. Reid G-2 [Army Intelligence] Ft. Monmouth, NJ, provided following report of unconventional aircraft observed by radar at above Army installation. On Sept 10, fifty one], an AN/MPG-1 radar set picked up a fast moving low flying target, exact altitude undetermined at approximately 11:10 a.m., southeast of Ft. Monmouth at a range of about twelve thousand yards. The target appeared to approximately follow the coast line, changing its range only slightly but changing its azimuth rapidly. The radar set was set to full aided azimuth tracking which normally is fast enough to track jet aircraft, but in this case was too slow to be resorted to. Target was lost in the N.E. at a range of about fourteen thousand yards. “This target also presented an unusually strong return for aircraft, being comparable in strength to that usually received from a coastal ship. The operator initially identified target as a ship and then realized that it could not be a ship after he observed its extreme speed."
In 1952, radar operator William Maguire had an extraordinary, radar-based UFO encounter in 1952. It was while he was stationed at Royal Air Force Sandwich in Kent, England. Of his experience, Maguire said: “The mechanics were being blamed for not calibrating the instruments properly; we were being blamed for not interpreting the readings properly. But the obvious answer staring us in the face, on every single instrument on the base, was the fact that there was sitting up at an unbelievable height, this enormous thing with the equivalent mass of a warship." Similarly, there are the words of John Oliver, who had his encounter with a huge UFO in 1949. Once again, it was a radar-based encounter. He recalled: "The general consensus regarding its size, among the very experienced radar personnel engaged in the operations, was that the object offered an echo similar to that of a large passenger or freighter surface vessel, something in the region of 15,000 or 20,00 tons."
Born in Poland in 1891, George Adamski – of Flying Saucers Have Landed notoriety - was the ultimate “contactee,” regardless of what you may or may not think of him and his tales. He defined what it meant in the 1950s to have interactions with beings from other worlds; creatures very much like us and who wished us nothing but goodwill. Adamski’s primary visitor from the great beyond was Orthon. Adamski’s forays into the world of the supernatural, however, did not begin when the flying saucer phenomenon was at its height. Adamski had been involved in matters of a metaphysical type for years. For example, in April 1934, the Los Angeles Times ran a feature on the man himself with a headline that succinctly read as follows: “Shamanistic Order to be Established Here.” I should stress I'm not a supporter of Adamski's claims - at all. But, if we are going to talk about huge UFOs, we have to at least make a note about his over the top claims.
(Nick Redfern) George Adamski, the most well-known Contactee. But, also an over the top liar.
It was early on the morning of November 20, 1952. Adamski and his faithful secretary Lucy McGinnis drove to Blythe, California. This was not your average road-trip, however. Adamski, when telling the story to whoever would listen, claimed that the reason for hitting the road to Blythe had an astonishing purpose behind it: aliens dearly wanted to meet with the professor-who-wasn’t. The pair soon met up with other characters in 1950s-era Ufology. They included UFO enthusiasts Al and Betty Bailey, and George Hunt Williamson. The latter was a controversial contactee who crossed paths with the FBI on several occasions, most seriously in 1962. That was when Williamson was suspected by the Bureau of smuggling priceless Mexican artifacts of an historic and archaeological significance into the United States. After refueling their vehicles and their stomachs, the gang then headed out to Parker, Arizona – where, Adamski said, he was absolutely sure that aliens were soon to put in an appearance. So the tale goes, that’s exactly what happened. A huge, “cigar”-shaped UFO loomed into view, high in the skies above Parker. The amazed crew hit a dirt-road in hot pursuit of the mighty craft. Adamski and co. were, apparently, not the only ones who were looking for a close encounter. Adamski claimed that a squadron of U.S. Air Force planes were also after the aliens. The people from the stars almost effortlessly made a quick escape from the pursuing pilots.
It wasn’t long before a much smaller flying saucer made its appearance before the astonished group. In an almost Old Testament-style fashion, the gleaming craft landed on a nearby mountain, awaiting the disciple-like Adamski to come forward and meet his superior. He somehow knew that the aliens had come for him. Adamski approached the craft, while the rest – their mouths no doubt agape – looked on. An extremely-human-looking extraterrestrial exited the futuristic craft, just as Michael Rennie’s character of Klaatu did in the classic 1951 movie, The Day the Earth Stood Still. Unlike Klaatu, though, Adamski’s alien – who announced himself as Orthon – had long hair of the kind that just about any and every 1980s-era “hair-metal” rock band would have been proud to sport. Orthon announced to Adamski that he came from Venus - and that he came in peace, too. In no time at all, Orthon began lecturing Adamski on why we, the human race, needed to ditch our atomic weapons. If we didn’t, the only outcome would be overwhelming, worldwide destruction. Not only that, Orthon wanted Adamski to be one of the key figures in the plan to save the Earth and its people. In an instant, Adamski was up for the challenge. Orthon, seemingly happy with the outcome, returned to his flying saucer and shot off into the skies. An alien had come and gone, and for Adamski a new life had just begun.
(Nick Redfern) Out in the desert areas where Adamski hung out.
There’s no doubt that George Adamski was at the height of his fame from the early-to-mid 1950s, with the absolute peak year being 1953. That was when his book, Flying Saucers Have Landed, was published. It sold more than 100,000 copies in the process. The book was curious not just because of its content – controversial encounters with human-like aliens – but also because of how it was written. And who by. It was credited to Adamski and an Irish writer named Desmond Leslie. That’s not entirely wrong; but, it’s important to note that it’s not precisely correct, either. It so happens that in the same time-fame that Adamski was toiling on his book, Leslie was working on a publication on strange phenomena in the skies: UFOs. Leslie got his hands on sixty pages of a manuscript on Adamski’s claimed encounters that he, Adamski, had cobbled together in somewhat chaotic fashion. An agreement was made to combine the two works-in-progress and fuse them into one, which is exactly what happened. The reality, though, is that those sixty pages were not written by Adamski, at all. They were actually ghost-written by Adamski’s secretary, Lucy McGinnis. Adamski dictated the story to McGinnis, who made the whole thing readable, if not particularly believable.
On this issue of believability, or of a significant lack of it, we need to return to the words of the Gorightly-Bishop team: “Flying Saucers Have Landed wasn’t Adamski’s first stab at literary immortality. In the 1940s, he submitted a science-fiction yarn called ‘Pioneers of Space’ to Amazing Stories that featured an extraterrestrial messianic figure who comes to Earth bearing a message of peace and love. Adamski later self-published a book version of Pioneers of Space that fell by the wayside until debunkers rediscovered the work and pointed to it as an early fictional account of his Orthon encounter.” The odd thing is that Adamski faked tales of giant-sized UFOs when real huge Saucers were being monitored by the U.K. and the U.S military. Ufology is certainly a weird phenomenon!

Abducted by Aliens: UFO Encounters of the 4th Kind
Abducted by Aliens: UFO Encounters of the 4th Kind
For centuries, people have reported being taken by alien entities against their will. These experiences, known as the fourth kind encounters, involve complex physical and psychological procedures that leave many victims traumatized. But what if our government is aware of these abductions and is powerless to prevent them?
The depth of this conspiracy remains unclear, but with each new case, we gain more knowledge of the alien agenda. Some believe that these beings are from outer space, while others suggest they are from another dimension. Regardless of their origins, the truth is that countless individuals have very real memories of being taken by these entities.
Many of these victims have reported tragic tales of being subjected to experiments and procedures that have left lasting physical and emotional scars. Despite this, some skeptics argue that these encounters are nothing more than elaborate hoaxes or vivid dreams.
So what do we really know about the truth behind these abductions? While the full agenda of the beings responsible remains a mystery, there is no denying that these encounters have left a lasting impact on those who have experienced them.
One thing is for sure: as we continue to uncover more information about these phenomena, we become better prepared for the day when we will have full disclosure that we are not alone in the universe. Whether or not we are being taken by beings from outer space or another dimension, the truth is out there waiting to be uncovered.
Guys this is one very interesting catch. A security cam caught this and you could not have seen it with the human eye. How do I know? Because this is inferred night vision and the cam can see IR where the human eye cannot. This is a UFO. Todays tech is growing and evidence of aliens visiting Earth are increasing with technological innovation. A few years more and we will have undeniable proof that aliens visit Earth. Please follow my Youtube channel for more great catches.

Eyewitness states:
A white orb appeared out of nowhere on my security camera outside my apartment. It looks like it flies right thru one of the vehicles parked in the parking lot & comes out the other side. I was sleeping when it happened & noticed it when I checked the camera the next day. Whatever that was it sure was bizarre.
Some time ago, NASA began looking for extraterrestrial life, however, no signal from space has been received… or so it is believed. Recently, the UK Ministry of Defense declassified the National Archives for the seventh batch of UFO files, where it was explained that the space agency received “signals of a human civilization” from another planet.
One of the files has an article from the September 15, 1998 Weekley World News , in volume 19, superscript 51. That article narrates that NASA detected and decoded signals from a human civilization.
Supposedly requesting help since they were doomed on a planet outside of our galaxy.
Signs of a human civilization on another planet
The article says that the signal was detected in January 1998 , although it took several months before it was decoded.
Experts claimed that they intercepted an intergalactic distress signal from a human civilization. Supposedly, it had already peaked and was dying when humanity was still in prehistory.
But only in the last few weeks, radio astronomers and experts have found the key to cracking the language based on mathematics . Thus was translated the desperate plea for help.
According to a senior NASA source in Houston, Russian space scientist Viktor Kulakov , who leads a United Nations research team at a state-operated observatory 80 kilometers northwest of Moscow.
Kulakov said the signal was sent from a point beyond our galaxy , possibly from Andromeda . He also assured that it was about 80,000 years ago, by a human civilization more advanced than ours .
The fact that we received and decoded the message shows that the knowledge and technology of that civilization were better than the terrestrial one .
But despite being much more advanced than us, the death of such a civilization was not the result of a cosmic catastrophe . It was the result of its collapse , possibly due to the devastating use of some nuclear weapon.
the end of civilization
The scientist declined to provide a transcript of the message, but did say it started with a guilty plea . Then there was the request for help and finally, he passed the data of his location.
There was also an exact description of the devastation; explosions, widespread death and terminal illnesses.
The message contained a feeling of resignation and underlying guilt. It’s as if the senders recognized that the end of their planet was their fault.
Everything seems to indicate that they did not have the means to evacuate the remaining population. Interplanetary travel was possibly available to them, but only at a limited level . The message made it clear that they were trapped.
Kulakov is believed to have been made invisible by NASA and fired. In addition, any link that linked him to the agency was erased. It only remained as a curious note, as an atypical testimony.
Another point to take into account is that the Weekly World News, the newspaper where the article was published, was discontinued . It was also branded as a “conspiracy” medium, for which reason its veracity was questioned.
Some believe that Kulakov’s testimony is real, others that it was just another sensationalist article. However, the mystery is still present, and the possibility that a human civilization has communicated with us exists.

Roswell UFO Conspiracy: Unlocked (FULL MOVIE)
Roswell UFO Conspiracy: Unlocked (FULL MOVIE)
The Roswell UFO incident, which occurred in the New Mexican desert in 1947, remains the most well-known and debated UFO case in history. Many people believe that the crash was evidence of humanity’s first contact with extraterrestrial life. However, the truth behind the incident has been shrouded in secrecy and controversy for decades.
Leaked CIA memos and statements from ex-military officers have hinted at a government cover-up, leading many to believe that top secret information was kept from the public. Despite these efforts, the truth cannot be kept hidden forever and the mystery of the Roswell UFO incident continues to captivate and puzzle people to this day.
A 2020 documentary film about the Roswell UFO incident, “Roswell UFO Conspiracy: Unlocked,” was recently released on YouTube for free. This film offers a new perspective on the famous case and provides further insight into the shocking and complicated mystery that spans decades and continents.

AI Joins Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life
AI Joins Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligent Life
Paul Seaburn
It is safe to say that not a day goes by without a new group of workers fearing they will soon lose their jobs to artificial intelligence. Customer service representatives, receptionists, proofreaders, data entry clerks, fast food help, assembly line workers, retailers, doctors … even writers. This week, an unexpected job category has been added to the list – people who search for extraterrestrial life. That’s right – AI is taking over SETI. A new study reveals how machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, is being used to analyze the skies and has recently identified eight previously undetected signals of interest that have certain characteristics expected of genuine technosignatures of intelligent life forms. When that ship from another star system lands and an alien demands to be taken to our leader, will it be GPT-3?
Isn't searching for extraterrestrial intelligent life the job of Earth's intelligent life?
“The biggest challenge for us in looking for SETI signals is not at this point getting the data. The difficult part is differentiating signals from human or Earth technology from the kind of signals we’d be looking for from technology somewhere else out in the Galaxy.”
Sofia Sheikh, an astronomer at the SETI Institute, is a co-author of “A deep-learning search for technosignatures from 820 nearby stars,” published in the journal Nature Astronomy, points out why artificial intelligence is the perfect non-person for this job. Telescopes are great at scanning the skies and collecting data – in fact, they’ve collected so much data that it is impossible for even supercomputers with sophisticated search algorithms to process it. That problem is compounded by the fact that we don’t really know what kind of signal extraterrestrials will be sending. While biosignatures may be easier to predict from a planet with a similar geological and atmospheric composition to Earth, those same planets could be millions of years more advanced than us technologically. We have no idea what their technosignature might look like.
“The key issue with any technosignature search is looking through this huge haystack of signals to find the needle that might be a transmission from an alien world. The vast majority of the signals detected by our telescopes originate from our own technology – GPS satellites, mobile phones, and the like. Peter’s algorithm gives us a more effective way to filter the haystack and find signals that have the characteristics we expect from technosignatures.”
Dr. Steve Croft, an astrophysicist with the Breakthrough Listen team at the University of California, Berkeley, uses a Breakthrough Initiatives press release to introduce us to Peter Ma, the first author on the paper and an undergraduate student at the University of Toronto. Ma looked at the challenge presented by Earth’s technology and determined that we are just not smart enough to outsmart ourselves when it comes to filtering out our own signals. While machine learning had been used as a supplemental tool in SETI before, Ma decided to give it the entire job to create a neural network to do it.
“In total, we had searched through 150 TB of data of 820 nearby stars, on a dataset that had previously been searched through in 2017 by classical techniques but labeled as devoid of interesting signals,"
Ma explains in a SETI Institute press release how he used data collected from 820 nearby stars which conventional analysis determined had no ET technosignatures. He notes that the algorithms used were good for finding signals that may be coming from a specific point in space, but completely ineffective when the data comes from crowded regions. He compares this to listening for a unique whisper in a loud and crowded auditorium. To solve this problem, Ma inserted simulated signals into real data, and then trained an artificial intelligence algorithm known as an autoencoder to learn their fundamental properties. The output from this process was then fed into a second algorithm known as a random forest classifier, which learns to pick out the potential signals from the noisy background.
Once trained, Ma gave the AI algorithm the data taken with the Green Bank Telescope in West Virginia which showed no technosignatures of interest. This time, it found eight radio signals that could potentially be transmissions from extraterrestrial intelligence belonging to five different star systems located 30 to 90 light years away from Earth. The signals of interest had these characteristics:
The signals were narrow band, on the order of just a few Hz. Signals caused by natural phenomena tend to be broadband.
The signals had non-zero drift rates, which means the signals had a slope. That meant they were not local to the radio observatory.
The signals appeared in ON-source observations and not in OFF-source observations. Human radio interference usually occurs in ON and OFF observations due to the source being close by.
Does this mean the eight signals are from intelligent extraterrestrials? Hardly. For one thing, the SETI researchers examined the eight targets of interest again and have not had any re-detections of the signals. This doesn’t mean the machine learning algorithm is wrong – it just means these signals are unusual but likely not intelligent. On the positive side, Ma’s machine learning neural network approach will help identify signals of interest more quickly in large datasets, allowing a quicker re-analysis to confirm or reject the signal as a technosignature. The study’s research team is now reexamining other datasets previously analyzed and looking at new and even large datasets, like observations using the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa.
Is SETI another job lost to AI?
Does this mean that the job of SETI researcher is soon to be all AI with no human involvement? Not yet … but it’s a definite possibility. In February 2023, astronomers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), will launch a project where volunteers from the public will sort through images of radio signals and classify them as potential types of interference. Those selected signals will then be used to train another machine-learning algorithm to search SETI data. That’s right – humans are training AI to take their jobs. In fact, astronomers have used machine learning to come up with a ranking of stars to be observed in a SETI project using the 500-metre FAST radio telescope in China. These projects are a mixture of classical and machine-learning approaches – but leaning more towards AI.
Are we becoming sheep that are training a wolf AI to one day eat us … or at least take away our jobs of providing wool and lamb chops? Are intelligent life forms watching us and shaking their heads? Or are they rubbing their hands and making evil grins?
There are few UFO researchers in the UK as well-versed in extraterrestrial encounters than Malcolm Robinson – an investigator and author who began as a skeptic and debunker but has become one of the world’s leading authorities on these subjects. Robinson recently made headlines when he revealed in an interview that he believes extraterrestrials vising Earth “have an agenda” … but “I wouldn't say they are peaceful.” Should we be worried? Does Malcom Robinson know something the rest of us don’t? Let’s find out.
"What is in no doubt, is that the UFO enigma is real, very real, it has been with us throughout time. We see this in Renaissance paintings and old cave paintings, these strange shapes and entities."
Malcom Robinson tells The Daily Star what he as well as many other UFO investigators have found – this is not a new phenomenon. Robinson says he himself has been investigating them since he was 20 when he “honestly felt that there was no validity to UFOs." His opinion on UFOs and extraterrestrials changed quickly as he learned enough to inspire him to found Strange Phenomena Investigations in 1979 – now Scotland's oldest active UFO/Paranormal society with members around the world. his experiences have resulted in Robinson authoring numerous books on UFOs and paranormal subjects, including “UFO Case Files of Scotland,” “The Dechmont Woods UFO Incident, and “The A70 UFO Incident,” as well as others on the Loch Ness monster and ghosts.
They don't look too friendly.
“[These are] small childlike creatures, about 3 to 4 feet in height with bluey-grey translucent skin, large pear-shaped heads with inky black wrap-around eyes. No sign of any genitalia. These small greys are the most commonly reported entities seen in close proximity to UFOs."
Robinson has interviewed many UFO and ET witnesses, including a number of them who report being abducted. “The A70 UFO Incident” details Scotland's first-ever alien abduction – on August 17, 1992, Edinburgh residents Garry Wood and Colin Wright claimed they encountered a two-tiered disc shaped UFO wider than the A70 road they were on. While watching the smooth, black object, they blacked out and were in a daze when they arrived at their destination … one-and-a-half hours later than expected with no recollection of what had happened. On a recent podcast, Robinson recalled that the two men contacted him for help figuring out what had happened. He arranged for the two men two have separate hypnotic regression sessions and their memories matched exactly … and what memories they were!
Wood and Wright claimed their car had been hit by a light and was approached by six humanoid being who put them on stretchers and gave them electric shocks. They were taken to the circular UFO, stripped naked, examined physically, then imprisoned in a glass cell and scanned by a device with a triangular head and two red lights. Both men experienced pain and heard strange noises during the scanning. They estimated there were 20 to 30 beings on the ship and described them as “deformed and extremely ugly” with “what looked like Native American markings below their eyes.” One word they understood the beings saying was “sanctuary.” They claimed when they awoke that stuff from inside the car was scattered on the ground, and the vehicle was covered with a “white crystallization” that remained for weeks.
“Both Garry and Colin are left feeling bemused by what happened to them. Their lives may have changed, but they are still the men they were, albeit with a different perspective on life."
Despite the men being “bemused,” Robinson was concerned then and is more concerned today about what purpose these aliens – especially the ones making abductions and examinations like the A70 UFO incident – have in visiting Earth and what kind of response we humans should be prepared to give.
"They have an agenda for sure - we can but speculate.”
If anyone can speculate and offer advice, it would be Malcolm Robinson. He was the chief Investigator into the Bonnybridge UFO sightings in Central Scotland in 1992. Many witnesses saw unidentified lights in the sky over Bonnybridge, and they soon stretched from Stirling to Fife, causing the area to be called the "Falkirk Triangle" and for it to be designated as one of the world’s top UFO hot spots with an average of around 300 sightings per year. One incident in 1992 involved a mother and daughter who saw a blue light, followed by a UFO landing and a door opening. While police wrote off the sightings as balloons released from a party, investigators like Robinson found that some of the witnesses were police officers and pilots, and some of the UFOs were picked up by radar. However, none have been identified.
“I wouldn't say they are peaceful, due to the thousands of UFO abductions worldwide."
One famous abduction Robinson wrote a book about is the Dechmont Woods Encounter or “Taylor Incident.” On November 9, 1979, forestry worker Robert ‘Bob’ Taylor claimed he saw a “flying dome” land on Dechmont Law (a law is a hill) in Livingston, West Lothian, Scotland. He later recounted that two-spiked spheres rolled out towards him and, as he passed out, they grabbed his legs and dragged him onboard. He awoke 20 minutes later looking like he had been assaulted and he remembered a burning smell. Because he came home with torn clothes and injuries on his chin and thighs, the police were brought in and started a criminal investigation. Robinson examined his trousers and said the rips and tears did not look like they were caused by Taylor crawling on the ground. The police went to the sight where Taylor said he was abducted and found something strange -- 32 holes in the ground that were about 3.5 inches in diameter, along with what looked like bulldozer tracks. Taylor’s employer said the marks and tracks were not from their equipment, and one police report made many suspect Taylor was telling the truth about a flying disk.
Close encounters of the road kind don't seem to turn out well.
"These marks just arrived. They did not come from anywhere or go anywhere. They just arrived as though a helicopter or something had landed from the sky."
“(The marks indicated an) object of several tons had stood there but there was nothing to show that it had been driven or towed away".
"There appeared to be no rational explanation for these marks."
The Dechmont Woods Encounter has come to be known as the "only example of an alien sighting becoming the subject of a criminal investigation.” For Malcolm Robinson, they are yet another indication that aliens are not visiting Earth with a peaceful agenda.
"Whilst a large proportion of UFOs can be explained away as having natural explanations, only a few remain, and it is to that small one percent that I and my colleagues worldwide are trying to get to the bottom."
One final takeaway from his interview with The Daily Star – Robinson seems to believe that most, if not all, of these alien encounters are with small grey aliens of the kind most often depicted in movies and on television. While that may give some comfort to humans over four feet tall that they can survive an encounter, people like Bob Taylor, Garry Wood, Colin Wright … and Malcolm Robinson … disagree, and may have the evidence to prove it.

SETI, the search for extraterrestrial intelligence, is deploying machine-learning algorithms that filter out Earthly interference and spot signals humans might miss.

From the hills of West Virginia to the flats of rural Australia, some of the world’s largest telescopes are listening for signals from distant alien civilizations. The search for extraterrestrial intelligence, known as SETI, is an effort to find artificial-looking electromagnetic-radiation signals that might have come from a technologically advanced civilization in a far-away solar system. A study published today1 describes one of several efforts to use machine learning, a subset of artificial intelligence (AI), to help astronomers sift quickly through the reams of data such surveys yield. As AI reshapes many scientific fields, what promise does it hold for the search for life beyond Earth?
“It is a new era for SETI research that is opening up thanks to machine-learning technology,” says Franck Marchis, a planetary astronomer at the SETI Institute in Mountain View, California.
The problem of big data is relatively new for SETI. For decades, the field was constrained by having hardly any data at all. Astronomer Frank Drake pioneered SETI in 1960, when he pointed a telescope in Green Bank, West Virginia, towards two stars and listened for radio transmissions. Most of the SETI searches that followed were also limited to a small number of stars.
But in 2015, billionaire Yuri Milner funded the biggest SETI programme ever, in Berkeley, California: the Breakthrough Listen project to search one million stars for signs of intelligent life. Using telescopes in West Virginia, Australia and South Africa, the project looks for radio emissions that come from the direction of a star and that change steadily in frequency, as would happen if an alien transmitter were on a planet moving with respect to Earth.
“The biggest challenge for us in looking for SETI signals is not at this point getting the data,” says Sofia Sheikh, an astronomer at the SETI Institute. “The difficult part is differentiating signals from human or Earth technology from the kind of signals we’d be looking for from technology somewhere else out in the Galaxy.”

Going through millions of observations manually isn’t practical. A common alternative approach is to use algorithms that look for signals matching what astronomers think alien beacons could look like. But those algorithms can overlook potentially interesting signals that are slightly different from what astronomers are expecting.
Enter machine learning. Machine-learning algorithms are trained on large amounts of data and can learn to recognize features that are characteristic of Earthly interference, making them very good at filtering out the noise.
Overlooked signals
Machine learning is also good at picking up candidate extraterrestrial signals that don’t fall into conventional categories and so might have been missed by earlier methods, says Dan Werthimer, a SETI scientist at the University of California, Berkeley.
Peter Ma, a mathematician and physicist at the University of Toronto, Canada, and lead author of today’s paper, agrees. “We can’t always be anticipating what ET might send to us,” he says.
Ma and his colleagues sifted through Breakthrough Listen observations of 820 stars, made using the 100-metre Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope. They built machine-learning software to analyse the data; this netted nearly three million signals of interest but discarded most as Earth-based interference. Ma then manually reviewed more than 20,000 signals and narrowed them down to 8 intriguing candidates.
The search ultimately came up empty — all eight signals disappeared when the team listened again. But the methods could be used on other data, such as a flood of observations from the MeerKAT array of 64 radio telescopes in South Africa, which Breakthrough Listen began using in December. The machine-learning algorithms could also be used on archived SETI data, says Ma, to seek signals that might previously have been overlooked.
Citizen SETI
Machine learning is also at the heart of a separate SETI effort that will launch next month. On 14 February, astronomers at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), will launch a community-science project in which volunteers from the public will sort through images of radio signals and classify them as potential types of interference, to train a machine-learning algorithm to search SETI data from Green Bank.
And AI can help with other stages of the SETI process. Werthimer and his colleagues have used machine learning to come up with a ranking of stars to be observed in an ongoing SETI project that uses the world’s largest single-dish telescope, the 500-metre FAST radio telescope in China.
Still, SETI will probably continue to use a mixture of classical and machine-learning approaches to sort through data, says Jean-Luc Margot, an astronomer at UCLA. Classical algorithms remain excellent at picking up candidate signals, and machine learning is “not a panacea”, he says.
“The machines can’t do it all, yet,” agrees Werthimer.

A scientist, Peter Ma, has applied machine learning and artificial intelligence to data collected by the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) Institute, a press statementreveals.
Based on initial results, there is a slight chance the new method may have unearthed non-Earth-based "technosignatures". That would mean it had achieved SETI's goal of finding signs of extraterrestrial intelligence.
Algorithm finds 8 promising signals that could be of alien origin
SETI was founded in 1984 to scan the skies for radio signals that could originate from technology developed by intelligent alien civilizations. The search so far has turned up empty-handed, though there is a slight chance that we may have seen a breakthrough.
In a new paper published in the journal Nature Astronomy, Ma describes how he trained a machine-learning algorithm on 480 hours of telescope data from 820 stars collected in 2016. The algorithm identified eight signals of interest that previous algorithms had failed to detect.
Ma, an undergraduate at the University of Toronto, told VICE in an interview that their method completely removes humans from the equation, unlike previous machine learning algorithms applied to SETI data. "This work relies entirely on just the neural network without any traditional algorithms supporting it and produced results that traditional algorithms did not pick up," Ma explained to VICE.
Why did the algorithm single out those 8 signals?
The result of Ma and colleagues' experiment is that we now have eight signals that may have originated from advanced extraterrestrial species. Ma's algorithm specifically pinpointed signs that "are narrow band, doppler drifting signals originating from some extraterrestrial source."
As the SETI Institute's press statement points out, "signals caused by natural phenomena tend to be broadband,". In contrast, the ones picked up by the algorithm "were narrow band, meaning they had narrow spectral width, on the order of just a few Hz." The signals also exhibited a number of properties that suggest they aren't caused by Earth-based interference, such as the fact they had non-zero drift rates.
Machine learning could crack the SETI code
Essentially, Ma and colleagues' algorithm filters out Earth-based interference while also identifying signals with specific features that could mean they are being used for communication or other technological applications.
Scientists are increasingly using machine learning and artificial intelligence to sift through massive amounts of cosmic data that could otherwise take humans years to investigate. Machine learning is a subset of AI that uses data to refine its search parameters and improve its capabilities.
Ma chose to use a machine learning neural network because this allows adaptability that is not afforded by more traditional artificial intelligence algorithms. "The issue is that the nature of an ET signal is not completely known," he told VICE, "hence our proposed approach is to just learn it."
Though Ma and colleagues' algorithm pinpointed eight unique signals, there is no guarantee that these signals did, indeed, originate from alien civilizations. The next step is for researchers to investigate the signals in more detail and determine whether it's worth carrying out follow-up observations on the regions of space from which the mystery signals originated.
Does Failing to Detect Aliens Mean We’ll Never Be Contacted?
In a recent paper submitted to The Astronomical Journal in November 2022, a scientist at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne quantifies how the Earth has not heard a radio signal from an extraterrestrial technological civilization over the course of approximately the last 60 years, which is when the Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) began listening for such signals. They also quantify the potential likelihood pertaining to when we might hear a signal, along with recommending potential strategies that could aid in the ongoing search for detecting a signal from an extraterrestrial technological civilization.
“One interesting result of this study is that it bridges the gap between two popular but opposing views,” Dr. Claudio Grimaldi, who is a guest scientist in the Laboratory of Statistical Biophysics at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Lausanne, and sole author of the study, recently told Universe Today. “One insists that technoemissions pervade our galaxy and that, persevering in the search, we will eventually find them, while the other argues that extraterrestrial technological life is so rare that can be considered practically nonexistent.
“Personally, if I had to choose, I would prefer the first option to the second. However, there could be a third, less extreme possibility that should be considered if we want to get a more complete picture. That is, since we began searching only about 60 years ago without success, then it is possible that Earth has not been illuminated by technosignals since then, even though other regions of the galaxy may have been. In other words, it could be that for at least 60 years the Earth has been inside a sort of ‘silent bubble’.”
Dr. Grimaldi’s results provide statistical assessments on when a radio signal might pass by the Earth, which he refers to as a “crossing event”, noting a 95% probability the next crossing event will not occur longer than 100,000 years, 50% probability of a crossing event occurring between no less than 60 to 1,800 years, and 20% probability of a crossing event occurring no sooner than 240 years.
“In the ‘silent bubble’ scenario, the waiting time of no less than 60 years is very optimistic,” Dr. Grimaldi recently told Universe Today. “Moreover, even after this time span, the fact that the Earth may be illuminated by technological signals is a necessary but not sufficient condition for their detection since they may be missed by our telescopes. Thus, even in the optimistic 60-year time window for a crossing event, the waiting time until detection could be much longer.”
Given the study’s results provide a wide range of probabilities for detecting a technosignature in the future, and since the study focuses solely on technosignature searches conducted by SETI, what steps can be taken if we were to “rethink current search strategies”, as noted in the paper, regarding how SETI conducts its searches?
“If it is true that it could be several years, if not centuries, before a technosignal is potentially detectable, then it may be better to focus on commensal SETI investigations, i.e., searching for technosignals from data collected by telescopes performing other observational activities, rather than investing resources and telescope time in active SETI searches,” Dr. Grimaldi recently told Universe Today.
For now, the closest we’ve come to detecting a technosignature from an extraterrestrial technological civilization still remains the famous Wow! Signal, which was a very loud, but very quick, radio signal detected by the Big Ear radio telescope at Ohio State University in 1977. Until we detect something similar, or maybe better, we continue to listen to the heavens with patient ears, hoping someone else is out there waiting to be heard.
“I like to think that we are not alone, in the sense that other life forms, not necessarily advanced, could populate the universe,” Dr. Grimaldi recently told Universe Today. “Complex or even technological life may be much rarer than was thought decades ago, but its existence is not precluded by the physical laws we know. To the question of whether we will ever be able to detect them, I have no answer.”
The UFO phenomenon has many strange cases spread out over a wide range of weird stuff. Among the weirdest of these are those supposed encounters with the alien entities themselves, and these can real run the range of the bizarre. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to any of it. There are the typical "Grey aliens" that seem to be the most popular, but for every one of those there is a report of something decidedly stranger and more difficult to categorize. One such case allegedly played out in an are of California, and it is a damn strange account that seems difficult to really put into any category.
It was a beautiful, clear Sunday afternoon on August 22, 1955, and on this day a group of about eight boys were playing at one of the boy’s houses in the quiet, scenic residential area of Casa Blanca, in Riverside County, California. The boys were having a fun time to be sure, doing what little boys do, running, roughhousing, and generally being rambunctious, but at one point their play time was interrupted when they looked to the sky to notice a radiant, slightly translucent dome-like object hovering in the sky. As the transfixed boys looked on, the object just vanished into thin air, after which another object appeared with an audible “ping” sound, this one looking like a disk spinning on its side and composed of various colors such as red, blue and orange, and silver. Yet another object then appeared, this one a round sphere. The original object then reappeared and now there were two of the strange things in the sky, occasionally disappearing and reappearing with that “ping” and leaving the boys to wonder whether they should continue staring in disbelief or run away.
One of the children began to run home to tell his parents what was going on, but when he did the objects all vanished, only reappearing when he came back. This happened a few times, leading the boys to suspect they were being watched and that they were under intelligent control. Finally, one of the boys shouted out for his mother in a panic and several adults arrived at the scene, but rather bizarrely, although the kids could all still see the objects the parents saw nothing but blue sky. In the meantime, an even larger orb had appeared, this one even brighter and more colorful than the others and “as big as three houses put together,” which descended to apparently land in a nearby field. When the boys approached, they could see that it had not landed, but was rather ominously hovering three feet off the ground and that was when they noticed a peculiar entity appear near one of the houses, itself also hovering.
The creature was described as translucent and around 4 feet tall, and with “big red eyes, a big red mouth, and four round objects that sparkled like diamonds where his nose should be.” Where there should have been legs there was only a tapering rounded nub, and there was also a belt around its waist with a disc-shaped buckle that shone so brightly that it nearly blinded them. By this time the kids were terrified, with some of them screaming and crying, but their parents could still not figure out what was going on since it was all apparently invisible to them. It was then that one of the children seemed to fall into some sort of dazed trance and began to mindlessly walk towards the enormous hovering orb over the field, resisting all attempts to stop him and only brought under control when two of the other boys had to tackle him and wrestle him to the ground. It would only get stranger from there.
As the boys tried to restrain their friend, there allegedly appeared a procession of spheres and disks in the sky, which descended and began flying all over the place, the whole time disappearing and reappearing at a rapid pace, like flickering images on a broken TV. One of the objects was even said to shoot some sort of beam from a long antenna-lie apparatus. Bizarrely, one of the boys would claim that a small metallic arm appeared out of thin air and began beckoning to him in midair, and this free-floating arm was apparently covered in armor of some sort. While this was happening another boy saw an enigmatic figure described as just “a strange man” in the field brandishing two “ray guns” that he used to shoot two of the other boys, not killing them but rather seeming to paralyze them. What in the world was going on here?
As this chaotic scene played out, with UFOs flying around, disembodied arms terrorizing the kids, and a futuristic alien gun man shooting lasers, an opening appeared in the side of the massive sphere hovering over the field and out stepped the strangest thing of all. The entity itself looked very much like the creature they had seen earlier near the house, but in this case it had undulating white skin, and a strange configuration of appendages made up of four tentacle-like legs that ended in rounded nubs and two arms that split at the elbow to grow into two sets of forearms on each side with a hand attached to each. It was almost mindboggling in its bizarreness, and then it apparently hypnotized two boys and had them climb up a nearby tree, after which it telepathically commended to wait there for him to pick them up in 15 minutes. What in the world?
The bizarre apparition then disappeared, but 15 minutes later a huge orb appeared, this one with a rim or ring around it that made it look little like the planet Saturn. On this ring were seven humanoid gnomes of some sort, which reached out and tried to take the hypnotized boys as their friends screamed at them to come down and tried to snap them out of their trance, even going as far as to spray them with a nearby garden hose. Although one of the boys did snap out of it and climbed down, the other remained in a daze, and then began levitating over to the roof of a nearby house, where he stood in a zombified state for a moment before leaping off to land on his head. As soon as he hit the ground, all of the UFO activity ceased, and the objects and their bizarre occupants all vanished into thin air. Luckily, the boy was not seriously injured, although he suffered amnesia of everything that had happened. Ufologist Ted Bloecher would research the case and come to no definitive conclusion, stating:
This extraordinary incident- Manifestation may be a better word- lacks sufficient information to come to any final conclusions. Even so, available data are sufficient to conclude that something bizarre and inexplicable occured that afternoon at Casa Blanca; that the children alone were able to perceive it; and that whatever it was, it appears to be directly related to an area of UFO phenomena suggestive of certain types of parapsychological experiences.
What are we to make of all of this? Other investigators would directly interview the children and find them to be sincere and reliable in their recollection of the events. The whole case is baffling in that it seems to have played out right before the eyes of adults, yet they did not see any of it. What does this mean? Why should only the children see all of this going on? Does this mean it was some phenomenon privy to only them for reasons we will never understand, or does it just mean that or was the wild musings of young, overactive imaginations? We may never know for sure, and it remains a damn strange case all the same.

Exoplanets Reveal Our True Ancestors
Exoplanets Reveal Our True Ancestors
In 2019, Michel Mayor and his colleague, Jean-Luc Queloz, were awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery of the first exoplanet. Over 4,000 exoplanets have already been studied and classified, and more are expected to be discovered soon. In addition, NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has the capability to take detailed images of exoplanets.
But what will we find when we look upon the images of other worlds, and possibly even the beings that inhabit them? According to ancient astronaut theory, it’s thought that these extraterrestrial beings coming from outside of our solar system were interacting with our society and manipulating our DNA to create people on Earth that look like them.
As we discover more exoplanets, the implications for humanity are enormous. Some believe that we’re on the verge of discovering our home planet and the place of our origins. The big revelation may not be whether they look like us, but rather that we look like them because we are their offspring. The discovery of intelligent alien life forms on exoplanets could cause a sea change in scientific and religious communities all over the world.-

The Credible Encounter: The 1954 Cennina UFO Landing and Encounter with Humanoids
The Credible Encounter: The 1954 Cennina UFO Landing and Encounter with Humanoids
Cover of “La Domenica del Corriere” November 14, 1954
The Cennina landing of 1954 is one of the most extraordinary UFO landing and contact cases ever recorded. On November 1, 1954, a woman named Rosa Lotti was walking into the small town of Cennina, Italy when she came across an unusual sight. In front of her stood a vertical spindle-like object, which she described as being “like 2 cones joined at their bases.” From behind the craft emerged two little men, who were only about 3 feet tall. The men approached Lotti with friendly expressions, with one of them even laughing. They spoke in a language that sounded like Chinese and proceeded to snatch the carnations and one of Lotti’s stockings from her. Lotti, understandably frightened, ran away.
After the encounter, a deep hole was found in the ground at the site. The men were described as wearing grey overalls, short cloaks, and helmets. They were no taller than a five-year-old child, but their bodies were in proportion. The object was described as a double cone, about 2 meters high and 1 meter wide in the middle. It was made of a shiny metal and had a glass door on the lower cone with two small seats inside. Lotti reported that she did not hear any sound coming from the object.
This incident is classified as a CE-III (Close Encounter III) by Dr. J. Allen Hynek, meaning that there was a close observation of animate beings associated with the object. Multiple witnesses reported the encounter, and physical evidence in the form of the hole in the ground was found. The Cennina landing of 1954 is considered one of the most extraordinary UFO landing and contact cases ever recorded, and has been mentioned by prominent UFO researcher Jacques Vallee as case No. 24 in his “Century of Landings.”
The Cennina landing is considered to be one of the most credible UFO cases on record due to the multiple witnesses and physical evidence. Rosa Lotti’s account of the incident is particularly detailed and consistent. She described the little men as being about 1 meter in height and wearing a sort of grey overall that covered their entire bodies, including their feet. They also wore short cloaks of a grey material, and over the one-piece overall they wore a sort of doublet, fastened with little buttons that looked like shining stars. Their trousers were tightly-fitting, “like the long underpants that our men wear in the winter.” Their faces were normal, but small, and they were no taller than a five-year-old infant.
The object they saw was described as a double cone, which was over 2 meters high. Its outside appeared to be made of polished light metal, and its lower cone had an open glass door. In the center of the spindle, which was the widest part of the object, there was a roundish glass, which closely followed the mysterious machine’s round shape.
The sighting was reported by multiple witnesses, and the physical evidence of the deep hole found at the site added credibility to the incident. The Cennina landing is also significant because it is one of the few cases where the occupants of the UFO were described as being human-like, rather than the more common descriptions of beings with large eyes and small mouths.
Despite the credibility of the Cennina landing, some skeptics have attempted to explain the incident as a misidentification or hoax. Some have suggested that Lotti may have mistaken a weather balloon or other man-made object for a UFO. However, Lotti’s detailed and consistent description of the object, as well as the fact that multiple witnesses reported seeing the object, make this explanation unlikely.
Some skeptics also believe that Lotti and her group staged the incident to make it look like a hoax. However, this theory is not supported by any credible evidence. The fact that the hole in the ground that was discovered at the site was almost a meter deep, and it was hard to fake, makes the incident more believable.
Article on the weekly “Tutti” of November 14, 1954. Title: Do stockings and carnations attract Martians?
In conclusion, the Cennina landing of 1954 is considered one of the most extraordinary and credible UFO landing and contact cases on record. The detailed and consistent account provided by Rosa Lotti, multiple witness reports, and physical evidence all lend credibility to the incident. While some skeptics may attempt to explain the incident as a misidentification or hoax, there is no evidence to support these claims. The Cennina landing remains one of the most intriguing and unexplained UFO encounters in history.

This day in UFO history: The Varginha UFO Incident
This day in UFO history: The Varginha UFO Incident
The Varginha UFO incident is considered one of the most well-known and controversial cases in Brazilian ufology. It all began on 20th January 1996, when three young women, sisters Liliane and Valquíria Fátima Silva, and their friend Kátia Andrade Xavier, reported seeing a strange creature while they were out on a walk in a park in Varginha, Brazil.
They described the creature as being around 1.6 meters tall, with a large head and very thin body, with V-shaped feet, brown skin, and large red eyes. They said that the creature seemed to be unsteady or wobbling, and they assumed it was injured or sick. The Silva sisters reported that they were so frightened by the creature that they ran away and told their mother that they had seen the “devil”.
Their mother didn’t believe them at first, but when she went to the area where they had seen the creature, she reportedly smelled a strong ammonia-like odor and found nothing but footprints and a dog sniffing the place. This further added to the mystery of the incident and rumors began to spread throughout the city regarding UFO sightings and alien creatures being abducted by the military forces.
Two days later, another creature was allegedly found lying along a road, and three military trucks were reportedly sent to retrieve it. A similar sighting was reported at the local zoo by its janitor. In the following months, three animals at the zoo mysteriously died. Ufologist Roger Leir wrote a book, “UFO Crash in Brazil,” that included interviews from people who claimed two creatures were taken to a clinic before being removed by military personnel.
According to Eurico de Freitas and Oralina, they saw a UFO hovering over their farm. After going to investigate what was disturbing their cattle, she saw the object hovering over their field for around 40 minutes.
An official investigation carried out by the Brazilian military in 2010 revealed that the Silva sisters actually came across a mentally unstable homeless man named Muddinho.
Military officials presented photos of Mudinho, who they believed was a mentally unstable man with a mental disability. They also believed that the three women might have mistaken him for a space creature due to his physical characteristics.
An officer Lieutenant Colonel Lúcio Carlos Finholdt Pereira leading the investigation noted that the military vehicles were operating normally that night.
He also noted that the presence of military vehicles and firefighters in the area was not a coincidence. The officers explained that the activities of the military and firefighters that night were actually real.
The incident has sparked numerous theories and speculations, with many people convinced that the Brazilian government is hiding the truth about the capture of extraterrestrial beings. Despite the official explanation, the incident remains a subject of debate and interest among UFO enthusiasts and researchers. The incident has also been the subject of several films and documentaries, further fueling the publicinterest in the case.
The water tower in Varginha City’s central park, shaped like a spaceship, serves as a reminder of the infamous 1996 UFO incident that occurred in the city.
Despite the official explanation, many people remain skeptical and believe that the Brazilian government is hiding the truth about the capture of extraterrestrial beings. Some have pointed to alleged inconsistencies in the official story, such as the fact that the military trucks were seen in the area at the time of the creature’s sighting and that the creatures’ descriptions did not match that of a homeless person. Some ufologists have also pointed to the presence of strange markings and burn marks on the creature’s body, which they believe were caused by military equipment used to capture the creature.
The incident has also been the subject of several films and documentaries, including “The Varginha Incident” and “UFOs in Brazil: The Varginha Case.” These productions have further fueled the public’s interest in the case and have brought it to a global audience.
Despite the lack of concrete evidence and the official explanation, the Varginha UFO incident remains one of the most well-known and debated cases in Brazilian ufology. It continues to be a subject of interest among researchers, UFO enthusiasts, and the general public, who are all searching for answers about what really happened in Varginha in 1996.
