Ex-Defence Minister: E.T.s From Andromeda & Saturn’s Moon Visiting Earth For Thousands Of Years

There are already dozens of claims in favor of extraterrestrial visitation. Today, numerous astronauts and government officials support the UAP phenomena, and some are highly positive that they could have an alien origin. The Honorable Paul Hellyer (1923-2021), former Canadian Minister of Defense said extraterrestrials have been visiting our planet for thousands of years and it is likely that at least two of them are working with the U.S. government and sharing their highly-advanced technologies with humans.

In the 1960s, Paul Hellyer, a high-ranking official during the Cold War, asserted that he had discovered with certainty about the existence of aliens while serving in the military. He said that people from other worlds had been coming to Earth for a very long time. He insisted that a lot of the stuff that makes up our high-tech gadgetry had been gifted to us by overly-advanced ETs.

Hellyer had long expressed his views on extraterrestrials in public. He testified at the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure in May 2013 in Washington, DC. Five former members of U.S. Congress and one former U.S. senator listened to more than thirty hours of testimony from government officials, military personnel, researchers, and witnesses.

Huffington Post Canada described that, as part of his testimony, Hellyer stated that “aliens are living among us and that it is likely at least two of them are working with the U.S. government.” More specifically, Hellyer announced that at least four species of extraterrestrials had been visiting Earth for thousands of years. According to Huffington Post Canada, he also stated that some extraterrestrials originate from the “Zeta Reticuli, the Pleiades, Orion, Andromeda, and Altair star systems” and “may have different agendas.”

He first spoke openly about his belief governments are covering up an alien presence back in 2005, saying UFOs are as plentiful in our sky as airplanes. “Much of the media won’t touch it, so you just have to keep working away at it and we will get a critical mass and one day they will say Mr. President or Mr. Prime Minister, we want the truth and we want it now because it affects our lives.”

In 2013, Hellyer appeared on the RT interview show SophieCo with Sophie Shevardnadze to discuss extraterrestrials and UFOs. Shevardnadze asked Hellyer, “Why do you say that UFOs are as real as airplanes flying over our heads?” Hellyer replied, “Because I know that they are. As a matter of fact, they’ve been visiting our planet for thousands of years.” He further stated military action had brought down UFOs, and humans had adapted alien technology for use on Earth.

He said: “As far as technology is concerned, they are light years ahead of us, and we have learned a lot of things from them. A lot of the things we use today we got from them, you know – led lights and microchips and Kevlar vests and all sorts things that we got from their technology and we could get a lot more too, especially in the fields of medicine and agriculture if we would go about it peacefully. But, I think, maybe some of our people are more interested in getting the military technology, and I think that’s wrong-headed, and that’s one of the things that we are going to have to change, because we’re going to have to work together, all of us, everywhere on the planet.”

Shevardnadze asked: “Have you ever had your own encounter with aliens?” Hellyer replied: “Not encounter with aliens, no. I’ve seen a UFO, about 120 miles north of Toronto, over Lake Muskoka, where I have a cottage. Two years ago, at Thanksgiving, which is October, [my wife?] said that she wanted to go out and look at the stars, so… I’m not much of a night man… but I put on my cap and went out with her and she looked into the eastern sky and said, ‘There’s a star,’ and I turned the other way and said, ‘Oh, there’s a much brighter one over here,’ and she looked there and we watched it until our necks almost broke for about 20 minutes, and it was definitely a UFO because it could change position in the sky by three or four degrees in three or four seconds.”

Shevardnadze further asked Hellyer if shooting down those UFOs was risking an interstellar war, and, if so, “should we be creating a Star Wars force to defend ourselves from possible invasion or something like that?”

Hellyer said: “I think it’s a possibility, but it’s a possibility especially if we shoot down every UFO that comes into our airspace without asking who they are and what they want. Right from the beginning, we started scrambling planes, trying to shoot them down, but their technology was superior enough that we weren’t able to get away with it, certainly not for a long while.”

He continued: “During that period of time they could have taken us over without any trouble if they wanted to, so I think, rather than developing our own Star Wars to protect ourselves against them, we should work with the benign species that are of a vast majority and work together, and rely largely on them, of course, and cooperate, so that we would be contributing something at the same time; I don’t think there’s any point in us developing a galactic force that would tempt us to ride on our own and get into mischief, which is one of the things that some of them are concerned about.”

On countering physicist Stephen Hawking’s assertion that any alien visitors to Earth would likely be malevolent, Hellyer argued that not only have aliens already visited Earth but that they have helped contribute to humanity’s technological progress. He said earthlings owe a lot to their alien friends. “Even that computer screen on your desk,” he said, “can trace its origins to spaceships. Microchips, for example, fiber-optics, they are just two of the many things that allegedly — and probably for real — came from crashed vehicles,” Hellyer added. (Source)

Hellyer was not the only one speaking of a partnership between humans and extraterrestrial intelligence. The former head of the Israeli space security program and retired general Haim Eshed also claimed that a sort of agreement had been made between aliens and the US government to keep silent on their experiments on Earth and secret bases on Mars.

Mr. Eshed said that aliens and “Galactic federation” do exist and have been working with the US and the Israel government for years, but they keep it a secret to avoid mass hysteria. According to him, President Trump was aware of it and has already been in contact with space aliens. He further said that the aliens have been waiting for humans to evolve and reach a certain stage to actually understand space and spaceships. Besides, they signed a contract with humans to do experiments on Earth and also research with them to learn the fabric of the universe.

Ex-US Navy Officer Saw ‘Non-human Entities’ In His Bedroom After ‘Gimbal UFO’ Encounter

By Vicky Verma

The Gimbal UFO event stands as a significant pillar in the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) disclosure, introducing US military whistleblowers who claim to have witnessed the phenomena they describe as “non-human.” In 2020, the U.S. Department of Defense released three pivotal UAP videos that triggered widespread discussions within the UFO community, prompting inquiries into the information held by the US government regarding these phenomena.

These videos capture UFO encounters from November 2004 and two separate incidents from January 2015, each identified by distinctive nicknames: Flir (2004), Go Fast (2015), and Gimbal (2015). They depict pilots tracking unidentified objects in the sky. Among these, the renowned 2015 UFO “Gimbal” footage was recorded by US fighter pilots near the nuclear aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt, as an unidentified object appeared on their radar. Despite the pilots mentioning, “There’s a whole fleet of them, look on the SA,” the footage only displays a single mysterious object at the center of the frame.

Apart from Ryan Graves, a former Lt. U.S. Navy and F/A-18F pilot, there is another least discussed whistleblower who experienced the famous Gimbal UFO event. Matthew Roberts, a former cryptologist in the US Navy with 16 years of service, shared his experience and encounters with non-human entity during a Netflix series “Encounters.” He was present on the USS Theodore Roosevelt in 2015 during an event involving the now-famous “Gimbal footage.”

After going on several military missions and teaching other code experts while working on land, Matthew Roberts moved to the Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) for three years. His time at ONI ended in March 2020, and that is when he chose to quit the military, even though he was close to retiring in four years. The reason for leaving was the intense and personal experiences he had with unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP) while at ONI, which he writes about in his book named “Initiated.”

Roberts described his initial reaction to the gimbal footage: “I was watching this footage, and I could see no kind of aviation surfaces that you would expect to see — wings, tail, rudders. There’s none of that.” He struggled to comprehend the unconventional movement of the object, stating, “I couldn’t really make sense of why this thing was kind of up in the air like it was.”

As he looked more closely at the video, Roberts realized something important: “I knew it didn’t belong to us or anyone else. So, the only other possibility, I think, is that it’s technology from non-human intelligence.”

Given his classified role and access to sensitive information, Roberts was aware that such encounters were not isolated incidents for the Navy: “I was kind of aware this was not a one-off event for the Navy. These things happen frequently, all the time, going against the wind.” Roberts confessed to being captivated by the footage, watching it obsessively. Despite his access to classified information, he had no awareness of the actions taken by the upper chain of command concerning these encounters.

In 2017, after transferring to the Office of Naval Intelligence, Roberts claimed to have had follow-on experiences with what he described as nonhuman entities. He recounted unsettling encounters where he would wake up feeling his body being moved across the bed and experiencing a hand grabbing his arm. Roberts believed these encounters were evidence of non-human intelligence.

“In 2017, I moved to the Office of Naval Intelligence, where I was going to work as an analyst. Shortly after I got there, I began having experiences related to the phenomenon. It was like the start of seeing nonhuman entities in my room at night. I would wake up several times a week, feeling my body sliding across the bed, and I knew they were taking me. One time, I woke up because I felt a hand grab my arm. I tried to raise my hands to my face, but I couldn’t move. I could see the outline of a shadowy figure with a torso, two arms, and a head standing over me.

Back when I was in the Navy and saw the footage, I already knew there was something nonhuman out there. So, when these entities started appearing in my room, I knew all of this was real. I had the comfort of knowing I wasn’t going crazy; I understood what it was. There’s a lot of sensor and radar evidence. I believe that if they just release all the footage and say, “Hey, this is what we have, we don’t even have to explain it, we don’t know,” there would be no doubt about whether the phenomenon is real. Everyone would know it.”

Thinking about all the sensor and radar evidence, Roberts said that if they share all the available videos, people would not doubt if the UFO phenomenon is real. He said, “Everyone would know it.” Roberts’ account provides a unique perspective on the UFO phenomenon, combining his military background, access to classified information, and personal experiences with what he believes to be non-human entities.

Mick West, known for debunking UAPs, provided his explanation for the objects: arguing that mundane things – tech glitches, camera glare, balloons, and birds – are more likely than aliens. However, Journalist Daniel Lavelle asked Matthew Roberts about West’s theory to which Roberts politely replied “All aircraft – nationally, internationally – have to broadcast who they are. If they’re not broadcasting that, that’s very unusual. Mick West, bless his soul, he has never been in the military.”

In his book “Initiated: UAP, Dreams, Depression, Delusions, Shadow People, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, and Pandemics,” Roberts wrote about his personal interactions with UFOs, aliens (whom he now calls “The Progenitors”), and his intense psychological battle to cope with extraordinary paranormal experiences.

The book describes how Roberts went through strange experiences: encountering UFO aliens, other bizarre entities along with a series of other happenings forced him to question his sanity. “Initiated” tells the story of how Roberts went through tough times but came out on the other side as a changed person. He can now say he is truly “initiated.”

During his AMA on Reddit, Roberts described the non-human entities: “I saw ones that had blue skin and were tall. I saw very tall white ones that resembled Jack Skellington. I saw one that looked like a yard gnome. I saw some that appeared to radiate white light. I don’t know where they were from they never revealed that.”

Matthew Roberts explains that he never tried to film any of the encounters with non-human entities in his bedroom. When asked if he considered setting up a recording device, he mentions that these encounters often happen when individuals are in an altered state or when the entities appear in the sky with a craft, conveniently when the person does not have his cell phone.

He considered recording the experiences but decided against it. He reasons that it would not convince everyone, as some might think he faked it. Roberts believes the argument over the authenticity of any images would overshadow the main point, which is encouraging people to seek and have their own experiences with consciousness. He emphasizes that he does not need people to believe him; instead, he wants others to explore consciousness firsthand.

Roberts asserts that the truth of these experiences has been documented for thousands of years by various individuals, citing such authors as William Walker Atkinson, Mabel Collins, Joseph Campbell, Dr. John Mack, and Dr. Robert Moore. He challenges the notion that he could have orchestrated the biggest hoax in human history, suggesting that there may be something genuinely significant in these experiences.

He points to the wealth of evidence available for those willing to examine it, citing a podcast by Mark Gober called “Where is My Mind,” where accomplished scientists discuss their work on consciousness. Roberts believes that understanding consciousness surviving death is a crucial aspect of our existence, mentioning the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies (BICS) and the substantial prizes offered for evidence of consciousness after death.

He suggested that these entities seem to have a significant level of control over the experiences people have, which contributes to why some individuals perceive these encounters as malevolent or evil. He acknowledged that many people who invest time and money into gathering evidence of these phenomena often end up without conclusive results.

In highlighting the rarity of tangible evidence, Roberts mentioned a particular case involving Peter Khoury, where there was reportedly some DNA evidence. However, he does not go into detail about the specifics of that case.

Roberts shared that his conscious experiences with these entities began in late 2017 and continued until the spring of 2018. During this period, he claimed to have been taken several times a week. He recounts instances of sleep paralysis as a child, where he felt a heavy presence and heard whispers. He mentioned a specific incident when he was a small boy, wrapping himself up tightly in a blanket to prevent the entities from whispering in his ear, a practice he later remembered and replicated as an adult.

In his book, Roberts takes a “mythopoetic approach to alien intrusion,” drawing parallels between his experiences and myths, religious texts, and the Hero’s Journey described by Joseph Campbell. He believes that within these encounters, individuals undergo a transformative process, akin to the cycle of death and resurrection, ultimately leading to a change in oneself.

Because of the intense experiences he had, Matthew Roberts decided to quit his military job. He then went to study psychology to learn more about the mind and emotions related to UFO phenomena. He is also working on another book that explains how his way of thinking influenced the unusual experiences he went through.

[Video] Ex-US Army Officer Revealed That He Saw A Child-Size Alien After Roswell Crash

By Vicky Verma

The Roswell incident is one of the most popular unsolved mysteries in the world. Dozens of US military officers claimed that the crash involved the extraterrestrial craft with aliens, while skeptics tried hard to deny it. Besides, the US government covered the whole incident calling it a military program (Project Mogul).

Moreover, there are abundant theories that justify the extraterrestrial’s link to the crash that happened in New Mexico in July 1947.

A day after the legendary crash at a ranch near Roswell, the 509th Bomb Group issued a press release and revealed the news of the crashed UFO to the world. 1st Lt. Walter Haut, the public information officer at the 509th Bomb Group based in Roswell, was the first person who disclosed the incredible information to the press.

Unfortunately, a new press release was issued later, that certainly was to change the facts of the first one, and now the crashed UFO turned into crashed weather balloon. It made Haut a figure of public ridicule.

Lt. Walter Haut was the close friend of Colonel William Blanchard who is regarded as the key player behind the scenes in the recovery of the Roswell disk. Haut swore to Col. Blanchard that he would keep the Roswell secrecy until his last breath. But in 2002, he came up with an idea to slightly reveal what he knew about the Roswell incident without breaking his words.

A video of Lt. Haut has recently been released. It was recorded in 2000, and in the video, he claimed to have seen a body of a “beat-up alien” the “size of a 10-year-old child” after the Roswell UFO crash. The video was first published by UFO researcher Anthony Bragalia, and it was recorded by Haut’s friends Dennis Bathaser and Wendy Connors.

Julie Shuster, Haut’s daughter was worried that the secrets of Roswell would be left behind as the world started losing the first-hand witnesses of the case such as Major Jesse Marcel, the first person who arrived at the crash site. Marcel might have left a cryptic journal behind on the Roswell subject, but Haut was adamant to leave the clear information behind.

Shuster, along with UFO researcher Don Schmitt persuaded her father to have a written document on his exclusive information on Roswell and save it for the future. Haut agreed and signed an affidavit, stating that he had seen a craft from outer space.

“It was not from this Earth, it was something manufactured off this Earth,” he said.

After his death in 2005, the affidavit was first published in a book entitled “Witness to Roswell: Unmasking the Government’s Biggest Cover-Up” (2007), authored by Thomas Carey and Schmitt.

In the affidavit, Haut revealed that there were two crash sites at Roswell, and he witnessed the first object that crashed in 1947. Shuster said that her father did see the bodies, and the craft was about 25 feet in diameter.

Carey and Schmitt became Haut’s friends, who later revealed to them the biggest secret. Carey described that the ship was of the size of a Volkswagen Beetle and was of an egg’s shape. To verify former army press officer claims, Carey and Schmitt found other witnesses with similar information.

Back to Haut’s confessional video, Bragalia said that a Digital Voice Stress Analysis (DVSA) expert looked at Haut’s testimony and concluded that he was telling the truth. Additionally, he said that the government could have been holding the aliens’ bodies in a secured locations “with access only by those with a need to know.”

Alien life may look nothing like life on Earth — so how should we go about looking for it?

Detecting life beyond Earth

Since the first discovery of an exoplanet in 1995, over 5,000 exoplanets, or planets orbiting other stars, have been found.

Many of these exoplanets are small and rocky, like Earth, and in the habitable zones of their stars. The habitable zone is the range of distances between the surface of a planet and the star it orbits that would allow the planet to have liquid water, and thus support life as we on Earth know it.

The sample of exoplanets detected so far projects 300 million potential biological experiments in our galaxy — or 300 million places, including exoplanets and other bodies such as moons, with suitable conditions for biology to arise.

The uncertainty for researchers starts with the definition of life. It feels like defining life should be easy, since we know life when we see it, whether it's a flying bird or a microbe moving in a drop of water. But scientists don't agree on a definition, and some think a comprehensive definition might not be possible.

• 12 strange reasons humans haven't found alien life yet

NASA defines life as a "self-sustaining chemical reaction capable of Darwinian evolution." That means organisms with a complex chemical system that evolve by adapting to their environment. Darwinian evolution says that the survival of an organism depends on its fitness in its environment.

The evolution of life on Earth has progressed over billions of years from single-celled organisms to large animals and other species, including humans.

Spectroscopy might detect signatures of oxygen in a planet's atmosphere, which microbes called blue-green algae created by photosynthesis on Earth several billion years ago, or chlorophyll signatures, which indicate plant life.

NASA's definition of life leads to some important but unanswered questions. Is Darwinian evolution universal? What chemical reactions can lead to biology off Earth?

Evolution and complexity

All life on Earth, from a fungal spore to a blue whale, evolved from a microbial last common ancestor about 4 billion years ago.

The same chemical processes are seen in all living organisms on Earth, and those processes might be universal. They also may be radically different elsewhere.

In October 2024, a diverse group of scientists gathered to think outside the box on evolution. They wanted to step back and explore what sort of processes created order in the universe — biological or not — to figure out how to study the emergence of life totally unlike life on Earth.

Two researchers present argued that complex systems of chemicals or minerals, when in environments that allow some configurations to persist better than others, evolve to store larger amounts of information. As time goes by, the system will grow more diverse and complex, gaining the functions needed for survival, through a kind of natural selection.

They speculated that there might be a law to describe the evolution of a wide variety of physical systems. Biological evolution through natural selection would be just one example of this broader law.

In biology, information refers to the instructions stored in the sequence of nucleotides on a DNA molecule, which collectively make up an organism's genome and dictate what the organism looks like and how it functions.

If you define complexity in terms of information theory, natural selection will cause a genome to grow more complex as it stores more information about its environment.

Complexity might be useful in measuring the boundary between life and nonlife.

However, it's wrong to conclude that animals are more complex than microbes. Biological information increases with genome size, but evolutionary information density drops. Evolutionary information density is the fraction of functional genes within the genome, or the fraction of the total genetic material that expresses fitness for the environment.

Organisms that people think of as primitive, such as bacteria, have genomes with high information density and so appear better designed than the genomes of plants or animals.

A universal theory of life is still elusive. Such a theory would include the concepts of complexity and information storage, but it would not be tied to DNA or the particular kinds of cells we find in terrestrial biology.

Implications for the search for extraterrestrial life

Researchers have explored alternatives to terrestrial biochemistry. All known living organisms, from bacteria to humans, contain water, and it is a solvent that is essential for life on Earth. A solvent is a liquid medium that facilitates chemical reactions from which life could emerge. But life could potentially emerge from other solvents, too.

Astrobiologists Willam Bains and Sara Seager have explored thousands of molecules that might be associated with life. Plausible solvents include sulfuric acid, ammonia, liquid carbon dioxide and even liquid sulfur.

Alien life might not be based on carbon, which forms the backbone of all life's essential molecules — at least here on Earth. It might not even need a planet to survive.

Advanced forms of life on alien planets could be so strange that they're unrecognizable. As astrobiologists try to detect life off Earth, they'll need to be creative.

One strategy is to measure mineral signatures on the rocky surfaces of exoplanets, since mineral diversity tracks terrestrial biological evolution. As life evolved on Earth, it used and created minerals for exoskeletons and habitats. The hundred minerals present when life first formed have grown to about 5,000 today.

For example, zircons are simple silicate crystals that date back to the time before life started. A zircon found in Australia is the oldest known piece of Earth's crust. But other minerals, such as apatite, a complex calcium phosphate mineral, are created by biology. Apatite is a primary ingredient in bones, teeth and fish scales.

Another strategy to finding life unlike that on Earth is to detect evidence of a civilization, such as artificial lights, or the industrial pollutant nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere. These are examples of tracers of intelligent life called technosignatures.

It's unclear how and when a first detection of life beyond Earth will happen. It might be within the solar system, or by sniffing exoplanet atmospheres, or by detecting artificial radio signals from a distant civilization.

The search is a twisting road, not a straightforward path. And that's for life as we know it — for life as we don't know it, all bets are off.

How Betty and Barney Hill’s Alien Abduction Story Defined the Genre

Their account, recovered with the help of hypnosis, detailed extensive medical exams, including a crude pregnancy test.

Bettmann Archive/Getty Images

Is it chasing us? That thought coursed through Betty and Barney Hill’s minds as they drove down the empty winding country road in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. It was a September night in 1961, they hadn’t seen a car for miles, and a strange light in the sky seemed to follow them.

When they finally got home to Portsmouth at dawn, they were far from relieved. They felt dirty. Their watches stopped working. Barney’s shoes were strangely scuffed and Betty’s dress was ripped. There were two hours of the drive that neither one of them could remember. What had happened?

With the help of a psychiatrist, the quiet couple eventually revealed a startling story: Gray beings with large eyes had walked them into a metallic disc as wide, Betty said, as her house was long. Once inside, the beings examined the couple and erased their memories.

Their experience would kick off an Air Force inquiry, part of the secretive initiative Project Blue Book that investigated UFO sightings across the country. The incident would also become the first-ever widely publicized alien-abduction account and shape how stories like it were told—and understood—from then on. Debate continues as to whether the husband and wife were liars, fantasists, crackpots or simply sleep-deprived people who later recovered seriously scrambled memories.

The Hills Saw Strange Lights Pursuing Their Car

The Hills’ road trip was spontaneous, a well-earned break Barney decided the couple needed, as explained in The Interrupted Journey, a 1966 book they collaborated on with author John G. Fuller. Barney worked a grueling night shift at the post office, driving 60 miles each way. Betty’s job handling state child-welfare cases was no easier. The little free time this biracial couple had was devoted to their church and activities related to the civil-rights movement. After 16 months of marriage, Betty and Barney saw this trip through Montreal and Niagara Falls as their delayed honeymoon. They left so impulsively they had no time to go to the bank before it closed for the weekend. They got in their car with less than $70 in their pockets.

On the last night of their three-day trip, the tired couple sipped coffee in a Vermont diner to recharge before driving back. Barney figured if they pushed through, they could beat the wind and rains from an approaching hurricane. They left the diner around 10 p.m., estimating they could reach their red-framed house in Portsmouth, New Hampshire between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. at the latest.

As they drove, strange light in the sky gave another reason to hurry. At first it looked like a falling star, but grew larger and brighter with each mile. Barney, an avid plane watcher and World War II vet, was sure they had nothing to worry about. It’s just a satellite, he assured Betty. It probably went off course.

The light seemed to move with the car as Barney steered down the curving mountain road. The light zigged and zagged, ducking past the moon and behind trees and mountain ridges, only to reappear moments later. Sometimes it seemed to move toward them in a game of cat-and-mouse. It had to be an illusion, they thought. Maybe the car’s movement made it seem like the light, too, was moving.

Curiosity overcame them. The couple pulled over at road stops and picnic turnouts to get a closer look. Through binoculars, Betty saw that the white light was really an object spinning in the air.

“Barney,” she told her husband, “if you think that’s a satellite or a star, you’re being completely ridiculous.”

Betty and Barney Hills’ Close Encounter

He knew she was right. Barney had an IQ of 140, noted Fuller in his book. Barney was also a pragmatic man who wouldn’t give flying saucers a second thought, remembered his niece Kathleen Marden in her work, Captured: The Betty and Barney Hill Experience. The night was too quiet for a helicopter, a commercial plane or even military jet with a hotshot pilot. He didn’t want to spook Betty, but he was becoming concerned. What was this light and why was it toying with them?

About 70 miles past the diner, the object hovered just above the treetops, approximately 100 feet above them. Barney abruptly stopped the car, keeping the engine running. He shoved a handgun he’d hidden beneath the seat into his pocket and rushed into a dark field, leaving Betty in the car. What he saw was as big as a jet but as round and flat as a pancake. “My God, what is this thing?” he recalled thinking. “This can’t be real.”

Behind rows of windows, gray uniformed beings seemed to look right at him, Barney recalled. He tried to lift his hand to his pistol but somehow couldn’t. A voice told him not to put down his binoculars.

He had a startling thought: We’re about to be captured. Yelling hysterically, he ran back to the car and barreled down the road as Betty tracked the craft, craning her head outside the car window. Without explanation, loud, rhythmic beeps sounded from the car’s trunk. The couple felt instantly drowsy and lost consciousness.

They came to around two hours later and 35 miles down the road.

Using Hypnosis to Recover the Hills’ Abduction Memory

Back home in Portsmouth, they tried to make sense of the night. Barney felt compelled to examine his body’s lower half. Both seemed aware of a puzzling presence.

In the weeks and months after, Betty, an avid reader, checked out books from the library discovering the civilian UFO group National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP). She also reported the sighting to the Air Force, worried about radiation.

In coming years, with Betty suffering from disturbing dreams and Barney developing an ulcer and anxiety, the couple sought mental help. The two met with Benjamin Simon, a psychiatrist and neurologist who specialized in hypnosis, a mainstream technique at the time.

Through months of weekly sessions, Simon helped the couple piece together what they think had happened: A vessel had landed on the Hill’s car, putting them to sleep. Afterward, gray beings walked them up a long ramp and into the spacecraft.

Once inside, the Hills were separated, taking turns in an examination room that had curved walls and a large light hanging from the ceiling. Each was asked to climb up on a metal table. The table was so short, Barney’s legs hung over the side.

During the examinations, the beings removed Betty and Barney’s clothes, plucked strands of their hair, took clippings of their nails and scraped their skin. Each sample was placed on a clear material, not unlike a glass slide. Needles, connected to long wires, probed their heads, arms, legs and spines. One large needle, around 4 to 6 inches long, was inserted into Betty’s belly. This pregnancy test left her twisting in pain. Throughout, a being Barney and Betty called “the leader” watched from the side.

After Betty’s examination ended, the beings rushed back into her room, excited. They discovered that Barney’s teeth could be removed. Betty laughed, explaining that Barney had dentures, a fact of human aging the beings struggled to understand.

Later, alone with the leader, Betty asked where the craft had flown, admitting she knew little of the universe. The being joked with her, saying “if you don’t know where you are, there wouldn’t be any point in telling you where I am.” Later, under hypnosis, she drew a star map shown to her on the ship.

In 1965, the Hills’ story was picked up by a Boston newspaper. After that, everything changed. The quiet couple’s story became the subject of a best-selling book and a movie starring James Earl Jones. The upstanding civil servants had become celebrity abductees.

The Hills’ Story Became a Model for Alien Abductions

The Hills weren’t the first to spot a UFO or even to report an abduction. But their story did capture the nation’s imagination and was so widely publicized, it has helped shape how we talk about alien encounters and abductions to this day.

Before the Hill’s story, alien encounters were friendly, according to Christoper Bader, a professor of sociology at California’s Chapman University. Some aliens even lived on earth and commuted back on weekends. But once the Hills’ story became better known, abduction accounts shared certain characteristics, such as medical examinations and missing time. Aliens with large heads and big eyes—dubbed “grays” in UFO circles—became classic sci-fi staples in personal accounts and pop culture, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and shows like the X-Files.

The Hills’ story—and those that came after—helped pave the way for a new understanding of human experience. Richard J. McNally, a Harvard psychologist, puts it this way: “The ‘alien-abduction’ phenomenon, in my opinion, shows how sincere, non-psychotic individuals can develop beliefs about, and false memories of, incredible experiences that never happened.”

Alien Abduction: The Chilling Truth Behind the Examination Table

Alien abduction phenomena have long been a topic of fascination, fear, and skepticism. Among the many accounts reported by individuals who claim to have experienced extraterrestrial encounters, a recurring and chilling element is the presence of a metallic examination table. This setting is often described as the location where abductees undergo various medical-like procedures performed by non-human entities. The similarities among these testimonies, spanning across decades and cultures, suggest a pattern that continues to intrigue researchers and believers alike.

The Common Themes of the Examination Table Experience

1. The Setting and Restraints

Many abductees recall finding themselves lying on a cold, metallic table inside a spacecraft or a sterile, clinical environment. Often, they describe the room as dimly lit, with strange equipment surrounding them. Some report being restrained, either physically or through an unknown force that renders them paralyzed. Despite their conscious awareness, they are unable to resist or move freely.

2. The Entities Performing the Procedures

The beings that abductees report encountering vary in appearance. The most commonly described are the Grays, characterized by their short stature, large black eyes, and thin bodies. However, another frequently mentioned entity is the praying mantis-like creature, often described as taller, with an elongated head and jerky movements. These beings are perceived as overseeing or directing the procedures while the Grays conduct the examinations.

3. The Medical Procedures and Physical Examinations

The core of the abduction experience often revolves around invasive medical procedures. Victims describe being subjected to tests that resemble human medical examinations but with an unsettling level of detachment and precision. Common reported procedures include:

• • Neurological Examinations: Some abductees recall instruments inserted into their heads, ears, or eyes, often experiencing sensations of pressure or pain.
  • Reproductive and Gynecological Procedures: A significant number of female abductees claim to have undergone gynecological examinations, including the extraction of eggs or even the removal and implantation of fetuses. Male abductees frequently report sperm extraction procedures.
  • Implant Insertions: Many individuals claim that foreign objects were implanted in their bodies, typically in their ears, nasal cavities, or limbs. These implants are believed by some researchers to be tracking or monitoring devices.
  • Surgical-Like Procedures: Some abductees describe incisions made on their bodies without experiencing bleeding, as well as the removal of skin, hair, or tissue samples.

4. Telepathic Communication and Emotional Manipulation

Unlike human medical professionals, these extraterrestrial beings rarely communicate through speech. Instead, abductees frequently report receiving telepathic messages, sometimes reassuring but often cold and emotionless. Some individuals claim that they were instructed not to remember their experiences or were made to feel a strange sense of calm despite the invasive nature of the procedures.

5. Unexplained Scars and Physical Evidence

One of the most perplexing aspects of alien abduction stories is the presence of physical evidence. Many abductees discover scars, marks, or even embedded objects beneath their skin that they cannot explain. In some cases, these marks appear overnight, without any recollection of an injury occurring. Some abductees, upon medical examination, report having tiny metallic implants that defy conventional explanations.

The Psychological and Emotional Impact of Abduction Experiences

The aftermath of an abduction experience is often deeply traumatic. Many individuals struggle with PTSD-like symptoms, including anxiety, sleep disturbances, and an overwhelming sense of helplessness. The violation of personal autonomy, combined with the inability to explain or prove the experience, leaves many abductees feeling isolated and reluctant to share their stories.

Additionally, the philosophical implications of these encounters challenge fundamental beliefs about reality, human autonomy, and the nature of the universe. For some, these experiences lead to a profound spiritual awakening, while for others, they become a source of lasting fear and paranoia.

The alien abduction phenomenon remains one of the most controversial subjects in the study of unexplained events. The recurring theme of the examination table—with its clinical detachment, medical procedures, and unsettling entities—adds credibility to the possibility of a shared experience among abductees. Whether these accounts stem from actual extraterrestrial encounters, psychological phenomena, or a combination of both, the consistency in these stories continues to captivate researchers and experiencers alike.

While skeptics argue that these accounts are fabrications or manifestations of sleep paralysis and subconscious fears, the undeniable similarities across different cases present an intriguing mystery that science has yet to fully unravel. Until definitive evidence emerges, the question remains: Are these abductees reliving a terrifying dream, or is humanity truly being observed and examined by beings beyond our comprehension?

• READ MORE: US Congress to submit controversial 'alien' mummies for lab tests

By MATTHEW PHELAN SENIOR SCIENCE REPORTER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Dissection has begun on hands from one of Peru's hotly debated 'alien mummies' — seen in an eerie new video revealing bones and odd metallic structures.

Worldwide controversy has followed these now roughly dozen or so small peculiar specimens, often referred to as the 'Nazca Tridactyls' after the region in Peru where they are believed to have been taken by anonymous local 'huaqueros' (tomb raiders).

Now, doctors claimed to have removed a 'light metal' implant from the new specimen's palm, a reporter who is working with medical professionals involved in the investigation told DailyMail.com.

The short video documents the moment one physician carefully pulls the suspected 'alien implant' from the Nazca Tridactyl's severed, three-fingered hand with tweezers.

Mexican Navy forensic doctor Dr Jose Zalce Benitez — who devoted his free time to remove the metal — said: 'It is a very complex metal alloy that requires special knowledge and techniques to be able to achieve it with such quality and purity.'

'It was possible to identify elements such as aluminum, tin, silver, copper, cadmium and osmium among others in smaller quantities and percentages,' Dr Zalce added.

The video also depicts what appears to be one of the mummified hands peeled back to reveal two of its 'metacarpal' or 'palm' bones.

Mexican Navy Forensic doctor Dr. Jose Zalce Benitez, working with a colleague, removed an 'implantation of light metal' from the hand (pictured) of a tiny, 2-ft-tall specimen - believed by some to be an 'alien mummy' - as reporter Fernando Correa Dominguez told DailyMail.com

Dissection has begun on these hands from one of Peru's macabre and hotly debated 'alien mummies' - seen in eerie new videos revealing two of its apparent 'metacarpal' or 'palm' bones (above) as well as a thin, eerie metallic structure

'This tridactyl hand, from which I obtained the metal, does not belong to any of the bodies presented at the Mexican Congress,' Dr Zalce emphasized.

'This hand is part of a series of loose pieces that belong to the place where the tridactyl bodies of Peru were found,' the physician and forensic expert clarified. 

The doctor's volunteer investigation into these unusual, potentially extraterrestrial bodies dates back to his testimony before an open hearing of Mexico's Congress last year, during which two similar alleged 'alien' corpses were presented.

Since that September 12, 2023 congressional presentation, two distinct sizes of these alleged 'alien mummies' have been subjected to public scrutiny — but the new video examination relates to the smaller and more controversial of the specimens.

The alleged 'metal implant' can be see looking like a torn patch of silvery reptilian scales in the new video, as it is tilted toward the camera by Dr Zalce's gloved hand.

Reporter Fernando Correa Dominguez explained to DailyMail.com that the hand had been carefully rehydrated by the doctors to better remove the 'metal implant.'

Initially, Correa noted, 'they did not see any moisture inside the hand, [only] dehydrated skin tissue was observed inside the tendons and muscles.' 

Dr Zalce described the procedure in more detail: 'We used a forensic technique to protect the tissue and minimize its degradation [...] a special serum that is used for the rehydration of corpses that has very specific concentration percentages.'

Correa told DailyMail.com that this hand from this alleged non-human mummy had been rehydrated by Drs Zalce and Rangel to better remove the 'metal implant' (above)

Above: 'The metal implant,' as Correa explained from Mexico on Wednesday, 'looks like aluminum and tin: a very light alloy [...] However, it is not possible to confirm what type of metals it contains until it is subjected to metallurgical analysis

'We use sterile swabs with a soft surgical cotton tip to avoid any type of damage or contamination to both the metal sample and the tridactyl hand,' Dr Zalce elaborated.

'This technique is used by the FBI and helps recover data or information from relevant evidence in forensic investigations,' the physician noted.

Correa, who took credit for bringing Dr Zalce onto this project, added that the severed 'tridactyl' hand closely resembles the hands present on the specimens brought before Mexican Congress last year.

That spectacle within the nation's highest legislative body had been spearheaded by UFO researcher and broadcaster Jaime Maussan, Correa's boss for over two decades at the paranormal-focused TV news magazine 'Tercer Milenio.'

'It is a hand from small bodies,' Correa told DailyMail.com, 'such as the mummies of Josephina, Victoria and Louise' as the mummies have been nicknamed by the team. 

These purported beings — typically just under two feet (60.96 centimeters) long — have originated from sites in Peru along with larger, more human-sized specimens, similarly coated in white, powdery algae fossils known as diatomaceous earth.

Critics, including top Peruvian officials from the Ministry of Culture, have claimed the smaller bodies are grim fabrications, based on two specimens seized by customs.

Dr Flavio Estrada, a forensic archaeologist with Peru's Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences, concluded the seized bodies were grisly dolls, 'assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues.'

'They're not extraterrestrials,' Dr Estrada pronounced after his group's examination last January. 'It's totally a made-up story.'

But Colorado attorney Josh McDowell has told DailyMail.com that these two alleged mummies, which were confiscated by Peruvian customs from courier DHL at an airport in Lima, only superficially resemble those brought before Mexico's congress.

These contraband specimens, he said, also did not resemble those kept at the University of Ica in Peru, where many of the Nazca Tridactyls are currently stored.

McDowell said that the seized 'mummies,' dressed-up in miniature imitations of traditional Andean dress, had merely been bootlegs made by an artist who intended to cash-in on the 'Nazca mummy' craze.

'The artist that made them said as much,' he continued.

'There is a way to obtain definitive answers as to what these specimens are through genetic testing and additional forensic examination,' McDowell emphasized. 

'It would mean a true collaborative effort with a multidisciplinary team of scientists, working with the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, to complete the studies legally, ethically and with respect to the cultural heritage of Peru.'  

The prolific UFO researcher and broadcaster Jaime Maussan (left) was Correa's boss for decades at the paranormal-focused TV news magazine 'Tercer Milenio.' Above, Correa (right) and Maussan pose beside a statue of a 'grey alien' in Tercer Milenio's studio in Mexico City

But whatever the truth behind these two seized 'alien mummies,' Correa said that the hand dissected by his partners closely match those presented to Mexico's congress. 

'Dr Ricardo Rangel, molecular geneticist, and Dr Zalce, a physician expert in forensic sciences, are the two scientists with the most experience in this case,' he said.

'I invited them from the beginning to analyze the bodies of the Nazca mummies.'

Correa noted that Rangel and Zalce's study of this specimen's hand greatly resembled the internal structure of Maussan's prior Nazca bodies, scanned via a noninvasive x-ray-like method, high-resolution computed tomography.

'Both agreed on the inside of the hand,' Correa said.

'There is anatomical correspondence with this member that comes from the same place where the other specimens were found: a cave in the Peruvian desert,' he said.

But even some sympathetic observers and amateur 'ancient alien' archeologists online have voiced their doubts about the hand as depicted in the new video.  

Posters on the Reddit forum r/alienbodies likened the interior seen in the new alien hand video to 'wet sludge and bones' or hastily stuffed 'with ground coffee beans.' 

'The more I learn about these,' one opined, 'the less authentic I believe them to be.' 

For his part, Dr Rangel, whose past research work has focused on a form of gene called Human leukocyte antigens (HLA), has focused the most of his studies on DNA samples taken from the Nazca mummies over the past few years.

In one of his 2023 assessments of the specimens, he asserted that 'there is a probability greater than 50 percent that this organism is not related to living beings known to date on our planet.'

The so-called 'alien mummies' discovered in Peru, supposedly near the Nazca lines, have been dismissed as a hoax by skeptics and most of the scientific community, with claims that a definitive study released in 2024 has exposed the fraud. But researchers who’ve been studying the small and oddly shaped specimens for many years feel otherwise, and they are now fighting back to save their reputations and let the public know about the latest evidence suggesting the mummies are something organic and real.

The lead investigator on the ongoing investigation of the strangely shaped mummified bodies is Dr. José Zalce, the former director of the Mexican Navy Medical Department, and by anyone’s measure, a legitimate scientist with bonafide credentials. He has analyzed 21 of the strange bodies, all of which were recovered during excavations in Peru, and he told the Daily Mail that he has identified “fingerprints, bone wear, dental formations, muscular features and internal organs - proving they're 100 percent real biological organisms.” He even claims to have found evidence that one of the females mummies was pregnant at the time of her death and mummification, which in his words is something “impossible to fake or replicate fraudulently.”

To back this assertion, Dr. Zalce has provided a recent scan of the “pregnant” mummy that seems to show an intact fetus inside of her body.

• Unusual Theories on Human Origins
• Integrity Of Ancient Mummies Offended By Ancient Aliens

All of this is important for those who advocate for the reality of the alien mummies, as the debunking study put out in 2024 claimed the mummified beings weren’t “beings” at all, alien, mutated human, lost hominin species, or anything else, because they were actually “dolls” assembled from animal bones fixed together with glue and then wrapped up to make fake mummies. This is the theory that Dr. Zalce has had to respond to, as he attempts to keep the story of the Peruvian mummies and their true identify alive.

The Science is On Our Side, Leading Advocate Declares

The mummies emerged from obscurity in 2023, when controversial UFOologist and journalist Jaime Maussan brought two small wrapped beings before the Mexican Congress, in his version of alien disclosure. He said they were not part of 'our terrestrial evolution', as a third of their genetic features had proven to be unidentifiable.

(Cámara de Diputados ).

This presentation was not particularly helpful to the cause of those who swear the mummies are legitimate, since Maussan has a reputation as a grifter and attention-seeker even among those who take the UFO phenomenon seriously.

Dr. Zalce and his team, however, have carried out a range of scientific tests on the mummies over the past several years, including X-rays, CT scans with 3D reconstruction, fluoroscopy, DNA analysis, forensic fingerprinting and tissue sample examinations. This is the sort of analysis that is required for the story of the alien mummies to be taken seriously, and Dr. Zalce insists his findings debunk the debunkers.

“These confirm with 100 percent certainty their organic, biofunctional, and skeletal anatomical authenticity,' Dr. Zalce stated, throwing down the gauntlet to the scientific community as a whole.

Jois Mantilla, a Peruvian journalist who has worked closely with the doctor’s team, accepts this conclusion, having been persuaded finally by the pregnant mummy called Monserrat.

(Dr. José Zalce).

“The fact that the fetus is a tridactyl [three-fingered being] makes it one of the most important proofs of the authenticity of these bodies,” he said.

Dr Zalce and his team have determined that Monserrat was  between 15 and 25 years old at time of her mummification, based on her “bodily condition, gestational state, and a comparison of her anthropomorphic bone structure.” He estimates Montserrat's remains are from 1,200 to 1,600 years old.

While much has been made of the claim by Maussan and others that the Peruvian mummies are alien, Dr. Zalce and his team and supporters are only interested in proving they are anomalous. In fact Mantilla believes that the mummies are remains from an unknown species of hominin, due to the mixture of features that match humans in some cases but differ in others (the three-fingered hands, facial features, and elongated skull and feet are variants).

• The Disc of Sabu: Ancient Egyptian Water Pump or Alien Hyperdrive?
• Ancient Pyramid Cities of Peru: A Catalogue of Swift Decline

'It could be a different species of hominid that had not been described before by science,' he said.

This idea is backed by a different study of a Peruvian mummy named Maria, which was published in May 2024. The researchers involved in this work found biological similarities with humans but also “many morphological and anatomical structural differences.”

This creature's bones were observed to fit together naturally under the mummified casing, as would be the case with a human body, and the elongated skull showed no signs of artificial cranial deformation.

Skeptics Respond to Believers, Believers Respond to Skeptics

While Dr. Zalce is more convinced than ever that he and his team are studying a truly bizarre lifeform, from Earth or elsewhere, scientists outside this group who’ve tried to squash the story because they see it as a hoax aren’t backing down from their conclusions, either.

Peruvian forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who led the much-cited analysis that refuted Dr. Zalce’s assertions, said the claims that the two objects came from another world, or are truly anomalous in any way, are “totally false.”

“The conclusion is simple: they are dolls assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues, therefore they were not assembled during pre-Hispanic times,” he stated definitively. “They are not extraterrestrials; they are not aliens.”

As confident as this sounds, Estrada's statements have not stopped Zalce and his team from continuing their research.

 “All serious researchers involved have confirmed that these are non-human bodies with unique anatomical differences, such as tridactyl, without any traces of artificial manipulation or alteration,” Dr Zalce countered, insisting that the mummies' “authenticity is supported by fingerprints, DNA analysis showing remarkable differences from human DNA, and other surprising genetic and pathological findings.”

One intriguing discovery, according to Dr. Zalce, are many metal plates that have been found in different areas of the mummies' bodies. They are located “from the interior covering some bones to external attachments on the skin, forming a biofunctional implant with no signs of rejection. These polymetallic plates have been analyzed using [a light-based measurement], revealing an alloy composed of copper, cadmium, osmium, aluminum, gold, and silver. Notably, the silver has a purity of over 95 percent, which is rare in nature,” he continued.

According to Mantilla, Montserrat was found with a metallic-like object on its head that was put into the body before death.

“They have been placed on the skin using a technique that we still do not know,” he said. “In some cases, [like Montserrat], the skin has been seen to have grown around the implant.”

Dr. Zalce, Mantilla, and everyone advocating for the legitimacy of the Peruvian mummies are making some extraordinary claims, which have been rejected in at least one peer-reviewed study (that of Dr. Estrada). To progress further, they plan to work collaboratively with the Peruvian Ministry of Culture to complete additional genetic and forensic testing.

'There are a lot of unknowns about these tridactyl specimens that could be definitively answered through additional testing modalities not currently available in Peru, “Mantilla said. “Our position is simply that they should be tested, in a legal and culturally sensitive manner, with the best methods available today.”

The Zoo Hypothesis: A Cosmic Isolation Strategy?

Among the many theories proposed to solve the Fermi Paradox, the zoo hypothesis stands out as one of the most thought-provoking. It suggests that advanced alien civilizations are not only aware of humanity but are actively avoiding contact. Why? To observe us from afar, much like zookeepers monitor animals in an enclosure.

Supporters of this idea argue that intelligent aliens could easily detect us. Our broadcasts have been leaking into space for decades, and our technological advancements, from peaceful space missions to destructive weaponry, are undeniable. To them, humanity might appear unpredictable or even dangerous—an intelligent species still grappling with its place in the cosmos.

If the hypothesis holds, these alien civilizations might be using advanced technology to mask their presence. This intentional silence could be their way of protecting both themselves and us, giving us the space to evolve without interference. The ultimate goal? Perhaps one day, when humanity has matured, we might be invited to join a larger galactic community.

The zoo hypothesis is captivating but faces criticism for assuming too much about alien motives and behaviors. It presumes not only the existence of multiple advanced civilizations but also a collective agreement to avoid Earth. For now, it remains an interesting thought experiment, one that highlights our persistent desire to answer the age-old question: are we alone?

Ultimately, the only way to resolve the Fermi Paradox is to keep exploring. As our tools and techniques improve, we may one day find the evidence we’ve been seeking—or confirm that solitude is humanity’s unique cosmic condition.

What About Intelligent Life?

While microbes are tied to their environment, advanced civilizations could become nomadic, escaping planetary risks by living on artificial platforms in space. Professor Loeb emphasizes that survival, even for intelligent species, is precarious. On Earth alone, more than 99.9% of species have gone extinct. Some, like the dinosaurs, perished due to catastrophic events, such as the impact of the Chicxulub meteor. Others disappeared due to environmental changes and competition.

Given that the average species lasts between 1 to 10 million years, Professor Loeb points out that humanity, which evolved roughly 5–7 million years ago, may already be approaching the end of its natural lifespan. While technology might help delay extinction, it can’t eliminate all risks. Even our Sun poses a long-term threat—within a billion years, it will heat up enough to boil Earth’s oceans away. This recognition drives efforts like Elon Musk’s vision to colonize Mars, but Professor Loeb suggests that advanced civilizations might go even further, building space platforms powered by artificial energy sources.

A New Approach to Finding Advanced Civilizations

Traditional SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) efforts have focused on detecting signals from star systems. However, if advanced civilizations have already left their planets, they might be roaming interstellar space. Professor Loeb leads the Galileo Project, an initiative searching for evidence of extraterrestrial technology within our solar system.

Instead of looking for radio signals, the Galileo Project focuses on identifying physical artifacts—objects that could have originated from advanced extraterrestrial technology. Currently, the team operates observatories at Harvard University and plans to expand with new facilities in Pennsylvania and Nevada. Future expeditions aim to recover materials from interstellar meteors, while upcoming data from the Rubin Observatory and the James Webb Space Telescope will aid in these investigations.

Professor Loeb argues that humanity should broaden its search by not only looking for microbial life on distant planets but also by hunting for technological relics near Earth. He believes it’s crucial to keep an open mind—what we might find could be far beyond our current understanding. As we invest billions in these efforts, one thing is clear: the search for alien life, whether microbial or advanced, might yield its first results right in our own cosmic neighborhood.

• READ MORE:  Two more 'alien mummies' are found with slanted eyes and hair

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The 'alien mummies' discovered in Peru have largely been dismissed as a hoax by the scientific community, but researchers studying the specimens believe otherwise.

Dr José Zalce, former director of the Mexican Navy Medical Department, has analyzed 21 of the strange bodies, finding 'fingerprints, bone wear, dental formations, muscular features and internal organs - proving they're 100 percent real biological organisms.'

He even claimed some were pregnant, 'making them impossible to fake or replicate fraudulently,' said Zalce who has testified under oath that the mummies are real following his six years of work with them.

Recent scans of a 'pregnant' mummy revealed what appeared to be an intact fetus that had the same physical characteristics of the corpses, which the team said was proof of authenticity.

The mummies first exploded on the scene when controversial UFO enthusiast and journalist Jaime Maussan ushered two small beings into Mexico Congress in 2023.

He claimed they were not part of 'our terrestrial evolution', with 30 percent of their genetic composition still 'unknown.'

Dr Zalce and his team, however,  have performed X-rays, CT scans with 3D reconstruction, fluoroscopy, DNA analysis, forensic fingerprinting and tissue sample examinations on each body for the last six years.

'These confirm with 100 percent certainty their organic, biofunctional, and skeletal anatomical authenticity,' Dr Zalce told DailyMail.com.

Researchers have been studying these 'alien mummies' for about six years, claiming them to be 100 percent real

The researchers conducted a recent scan of a mummy named 'Montserrat,' finding it was pregnant at the time of death, which they believe was at least 1,200 years ago

The mystery began in 2017 when Maussan and a team of self-proclaimed paranormal researchers said they found a mysterious three-fingered 'mummified humanoid' with an elongated skull near the city of Nazca.

The body was found covered in white powder, which the team said was used to preserve the remains.

And five years later, the tiny beings were paraded through Mexico's Congress where Maussan argued his case and did so on two occasions.

During the second meeting, he brought in a string of doctors who all said the bodies were those of real, once-living organisms - some experts claimed to have studied 'five similar specimens over four years.

Now, a group of researchers who have studied nearly two dozen specimens are 100 percent sure they are real.

Jois Mantilla, a Peruvian journalist, has worked closely with the team stands with the experts' conclusion, specifically when the fetus was discovered in a mummy named Montserrat.

'The fact that the fetus is a tridactyl [three-fingered being] makes it one of the most important proofs of the authenticity of these bodies,' he said.

Dr Zalce and his team have determined that the specimen was between 15 and 25 years old at time of due to its 'bodily condition, gestational state, and a comparison of her anthropomorphic bone structure.'

He estimated Montserrat's remains are from 1,200 to 1,600 years old.

Mantilla also believes the the mummies are remains from an unknown species of hominin due to having some physical characteristics of a human, while its hands, facial features, elongated skull and feet are completely different.

One specimen, named Montserrat, was found with a metallic-like object on its head that experts said said was placed on the body while it was alive

Dr José Zalce, former director of the Mexican Navy Medical Department, has analyzed 21 bodies , finding 'fingerprints, bone wear, dental formations , muscular features and internal organs - proving they're 100 percent real biological organisms'

'It could be a different species of hominid that had not been described before by science,' he said.

'We presume that these beings, so similar to humans, but different at the same time, may have been genetically created by combining genes as in the case of Maria.'

A study on the mummy named Maria, published in May 2024, found that it has biological similarities to that of a human - but with 'many morphological and anatomical structural differences.'

The creature's bones were observed to flow smoothly under the mummified casing, in a way that is found throughout the human body, and its elongated skull showed no signs of artificial cranial deformation.

Mantilla claimed that genes of a bamboo and chimpanzee were used to genetically modify a 'human from the East.'

However, scientists outside this group have also studied two mummies and found different results.

Forensic archaeologist Flavio Estrada, who led the analysis, said the claims that the two objects came from another word are 'totally false.'

'The conclusion is simple: they are dolls assembled with bones of animals from this planet, with modern synthetic glues, therefore they were not assembled during pre-Hispanic times,' he said in January 2024.

Researchers said the fingerprints are very unique as they are linear and not wavy like those of humans

'They are not extraterrestrials; they are not aliens.'

However, a former Colorado prosecutor and current defense attorney, who has examined one of the mummies, is also a true believer.

Joshua McDowell said: 'The bodies studied by Estrada were not related to any specimen that we have studied. They were folk dolls made to look like tridactyls confiscated at the airport.'

Estrada's statements have not stopped Zalce and his team from looking deeper into the mysterious bodies.

 'All serious researchers involved have confirmed that these are non-human bodies with unique anatomical differences, such as tridactyl, without any traces of artificial manipulation or alteration,' Dr Zalce said.

One of those differences, according to researchers, are the specimens' fingerprints do not correspond to any hominid, they are linear.

'Those of humans, hominids, are oblique, they are wavy, they are rounded shapes and these are totally linear,' Mantilla said.

'In some of the bodies, the number of fingers reach five, in others four and some have only three.'

Dr Zalce added that the mummies' 'authenticity is supported by fingerprints, DNA analysis showing remarkable differences from human DNA, and other surprising genetic and pathological findings.'

Experts speculated that the mummies could be a remains from an unknown species of hominin due to having some physical characteristics of a human, while its hands, facial features, elongated skull and feet are completely different

'We presume that these beings,so similar to humans, but different at the same time, may have been genetically created by combining genes as in the case of Maria,' they said. Pictured is Maria

Metallic plates have been found throughout other areas of the mummies' bodies, 'from the interior covering some bones to external attachments on the skin, forming a biofunctional implant with no signs of rejection,' said Dr Zalce.

'These polymetallic plates have been analyzed using [a light-based measurement], revealing an alloy composed of copper, cadmium, osmium, aluminum, gold, and silver,' he added.

'Notably, the silver has a purity of over 95 percent, which is rare in nature. Additionally, cadmium and osmium, relatively recent discoveries, are currently used in satellite communication and satellite structures.'

Montserrat was found with a metallic-like object on its head that Mantilla said was placed on the body while it was alive.

'They have been placed on the skin using a technique that we still do not know,' he said. 'In some cases, [like Montserrat], the skin has been seen to have grown around the implant.

'This gives us the understanding that these implants were used while the subject was still alive. They were not metal implants placed for ritual purposes.'

McDowell is helping the researchers work collaboratively with the Peruvian Ministry of Culture to complete additional genetic and forensic testing not currently available in Peru.

'There are a lot of unknowns about these tridactyl specimens that could be definitively answered through additional testing modalities not currently available in Peru,' he said.

'Our position is simply that they should be tested, in a legal and culturally sensitive manner, with the best methods available today.'

Scientists Use NASA Spacecraft Data to Predict Alien Contact

Using advanced star-mapping data from the Gaia mission, the researchers have pinpointed potential star systems that may have intercepted Earth’s messages and calculated when a response could arrive.

Tracing Earth’s Signals into Deep Space

In 1973, NASA sent its first interstellar radio signal via the Pioneer 10 spacecraft. Pioneer 10 traveled toward the star Aldebaran, approximately 65 light-years away, though it has yet to come close to this distant star.

Similarly, the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977, transmitted signals as they journeyed beyond the solar system. Voyager 2 left the Sun’s heliosphere in 2018 and is now traveling through interstellar space. Along its trajectory, it passed near the direction of a brown dwarf star located about 24 light-years away.

As per The Debrief, by analyzing these trajectories and combining them with Gaia’s data, researchers have mapped where other civilizations might intercept Earth’s signals. The team predicts that if intelligent life near this brown dwarf intercepted Voyager 2’s signal, we could theoretically receive a reply by the early 2030s.

Using Gaia Data to Refine Predictions

The Gaia space observatory, renowned for producing the most accurate star maps in history, was instrumental in this research. By charting the positions and motions of stars, the researchers calculated the time required for Earth’s radio signals to reach specific systems and for a potential reply to return.

“Our estimates are based on the time it takes for light-speed signals to travel between stars,” said lead researcher Howard Isaacson, an astronomer at UC Berkeley. “If an extraterrestrial civilization intercepted our signals and chose to respond, their reply would also travel at the speed of light, taking years to reach us.”

This analysis also highlights specific systems where SETI researchers could focus their telescope time, maximizing the chances of detecting alien signals.

The Odds of Contact

While the predictions are scientifically grounded, Isaacson acknowledges the slim likelihood of receiving an alien signal. “The probability is low, but the potential impact of such a discovery is enormous,” he explained. “Even if we don’t find signals immediately, this research inspires new ideas and technologies for exploring the cosmos.”

The study has also drawn attention from UFO enthusiasts, some of whom speculate that significant extraterrestrial-related events might occur by 2027. However, Isaacson has distanced his work from such unverified claims, emphasizing that the research relies on scientific data rather than speculation.

This study represents more than just a search for alien life—it’s a testament to humanity’s curiosity and determination to explore the unknown. By leveraging cutting-edge technology and precise measurements, the research opens new doors for understanding our place in the universe.

“Whether or not we find extraterrestrial life soon, the effort to look inspires us to think bigger and imagine the possibilities,” Isaacson concluded.

Some of the Most Outlandish Alien Encounters Ever

Brent Swancer

The world of alien encounters can get pretty weird. It is something beyond the scope of our understanding and often floats off into the fringes of the bizarre. However, some cases are stranger than most, and here we will look at some of the more bonkers cases of alien encounters that really pushed the envelope of the odd. 

A curious early case takes us back to 1929 when a girl and her brother were playing in the garden at their home in Hertford, England, which brushed up against an orchard. As they played, they suddenly heard a curious sound like an engine coming from the orchard beyond their garden, and when they looked they could see a tiny biplane with a wingspan of just 12 inches come into view. The strange little plane landed, almost knocking down a dustbin in the process, and the two siblings could see a minuscule little man in the cockpit of the plane. This odd little gnome-like creature then waved at them before taking off into the air again and flying off out of sight.   

In later years there is a strange report from the year 1947, in Arrolaguetre, Rubiaco, Spain. On this day, four men, Marcelo Martin Sanchez, Fausto Dominguez Martin and Julian Sendin Martin were returning to their rural village when they stopped to take a breather in a nearby field. As they rested, their thoughts were interrupted by the sound of what seemed to be an intense clapping, which then mingled with a cacophony of what appeared to be the sounds of hundreds of faded voices chanting or murmuring together at the same time. Looking around in alarm, the men then saw something very bizarre indeed. An excerpt of the report cited on the site Extremadura Misteriosa says of it:   

“The men looked around and spotted a tremendously tall figure approaching their location on a nearby field. The bizarre figure seemed to swing its arms like a soldier. Even stranger, the bizarre figure was wearing a white shirt with a black stripe around the neck area and it appeared to be headless! The three stunned men watched as the headless giant walked by only about 5 meters from them, totally ignoring them. It disappeared quickly into the distance taking great strides as it did. Strangely the loud cacophony of sound seemed to originate from it.”   

What was this thing and what were those freaky noises all about? Who knows? The following year, in 1948, a resident of the Polish village of Wrzeszczyn by the name of Henryk Matczak was out in the woods collecting mushrooms when he saw quite a surreal sight. He would say of it:   

“I saw at a distance of maybe 30 meters a group of children dressed in green, maybe there were ten of them. At first I thought they were scouts, because they were dressed in green. Although this outfit, upon closer inspection, was not a scout uniform, as it was quite tight and more like some kind of sports swimmer's clothing. The outfit clung quite tightly to their bodies, and on their heads the “scouts” had hoods, slightly protruding over their heads. The outlines of the faces I could not see. Each looked the same and was about 1 m tall, the stature of a boy of eight years.   

I thought they were scouts, because not far away in those post-German warehouses the first scout conventions of the Polish Scouting Association had already been organized in the woods. But there was something wrong. These individuals were moving fast, bending down once, getting up, handing something to each other. I was stunned to see that they began to climb a large beech tree standing nearby, which had large branches spreading wide on the sides. “Scouts” began to climb the tree as if they had glue on their shoes and gravity did not apply to them at all.   

One climbed all the way up to the branch and disappeared into the leaves immediately followed by another. I recall that some of them waded all the way in and immediately retreated, going head down. This happened before I decided to get closer to simply talk to them and ask what they were doing here in the forest. Then these - let's say - five, who were standing on the ground, looked at me and began to watch me closely. I immediately turned around and started running away, because I no longer knew what I was dealing with.”   

Just what are we dealing with here? Aliens, interdimensional interlopers, or something else? An utterly perplexing case from the files of paranormal researcher Albert S. Rosales occurred in 1953, in the Ano Ilioupolis neighborhood, East Athens, Greece. The witness, a Vassaliki F, saw a strange woman in the streets of Ilioupolis while out taking a stroll, and it would only snowball into the bizarre from there. The odd report reads:   

“The witness –a woman with many paranormal experiences- saw a strange woman in the streets of Ilioupolis. She had large, protruding eyes, high forehead, incredibly thin waist and was wearing very old-fashioned gray clothes –a skirt and a jacket. Inside of this she was wearing tight transparent trousers. She was followed by a very small “dog”, actually a piece of shadow that was hovering very near the ground. She was holding the “dog” with a transparent thick cord. When the witness tried to ask her who she was and from when did she come, the strange woman glared at her and went away, vanishing in the Saint George site of antiquities. The next day, news was spread that in the nearby fields of Sain Nicholas, an “aluminium hut” came down from the sky and landed. It had “windows” through which a shepherd saw incredibly ugly dwarfs inside. Among them there was a dwarf with the head of an animal. In a few minutes, a door opened on the “hut” and a dwarf came out, holding something like a golden plate in his hands. Then, the strange woman Mrs. F. had seen the previous day made her appearance. The dwarf bowed to her, and she filled the “plate” with dirt. They both went into the “hut” and the latter took off and vanished in the sky with a loud bang.”   

What in the world was going on here? On the morning of July 13, 1959, a resident of Blenheim, New Zealand, went out onto her property to milk her dairy cows at around 5:30 am. Halfway across the paddock she saw a strange green glow through the low clouds, and then a green light broke through and split into two lights “like eyes or big lamps.” As this was happening, the whole area was bathed in an oddly colored light of “a horrid sort of colour,” as a circular craft about nine meters wide and with a curved glass cockpit silently descended towards her, with two shafts of green light beaming down from its underside and two rows of small, orange jets that shot outwards like spokes from the rim of the disc. Despite the witness’s fear, she thought it was all quite beautiful. A report on the incident from the APRO Bulletin and NOUFORS would say what happened next:   

“The air on this cold July morning became warm and she noticed a low hum. She was “scared stiff”, but curious and enchanted by the lights. It was an image she could still recall in detail decades later. “It was just imprinted indelibly on my mind. I just took it in. I saw everything in those few minutes.’’ Inside the curved glass cockpit, she could see two figures wearing shiny silver suits and helmets. The suits were tight like a wet suit and looked like they were made of aluminium foil. The men were seated one in front of the other. Both had their backs to her. A flickering light shone up from below them, reflecting off their suits. Then one of the silver suited men emerged from the craft and walked towards her. She could see his face through a small visor in the helmet. He was wearing a wide belt with a black disc at the centre. He had a harness on his chest that held a small dial and a series of tubes coming out of the helmet. His left hand was missing and was encased in a dark sheath. Then he shouted at her in a foreign language she did not recognise. He retreated back to the craft and got back on board.   

After a few moments, the jets starting shooting out from the craft again. It tilted at an angle and then shot up into the sky at great speed. As it retreated behind the clouds it made a soft, high-pitched whine. Then she was alone. Standing in a waft of hot peppery air. She was relieved that the attracting power of the green lights had gone, but didn’t know what to do next. Eventually, she finished milking the cows. “While I was milking I kept wondering and felt a bit shaken and puzzled, and did not quite know what to do about it.’’ She returned to the house and woke her husband Frederick to tell him what she had seen. She feared he would laugh at her, but he took her seriously and asked if she had called the police. She rang the police at 7am. Woodbourne commanding officer Arthur Gainsford visited the farm and interviewed Moreland later that day. Her husband Frederick had told Gainsford about his wife’s claims that morning. Gainsford found Moreland calm and rational. Local police told him she was ‘’a rational and stable person from their personal knowledge of her when she was of assistance to them on another matter.’’   

Moving on into the 60s we come to an outlandish case involving what can only be described as “space penguins.” On the morning of February 14th, 1967, farmer Claude Edwards was surprised to notice that all of his cattle were eerily staring off in the same direction. When he looked to see what was holding their attention, he saw a “large green-gray mushroom-shaped craft” about 70 feet away from him, which he described as smooth, metallic, covered in "shiny silk" and dotted with port holes through which a dazzling array of colors shone.  

This light show was mesmerizing, and Edwards found himself approaching the craft, where he noticed a group of very odd entities beneath it. He would say that they looked like penguins, and were 3 feet tall and green with no hands, neck, or visible form of locomotion, and beak-like protrusions instead of mouths. Edwards tried to get closer, but when he did he was stopped by some sort of invisible force field, which also happened to deflect some rocks he threw towards the ship. The space penguins then filed into the craft and shot away at high speeds. Edwards was so reluctant to talk about his bizarre experience that he told his story only on the promise that it would not be published until after his death.   

From the pages of Albert S. Rosales’ book “Humanoid Encounters 1970-1974: The Others amongst Us,” there is a weird encounter reported by a student at the University of Georgia by the name of Mars Walker. He claims that one evening he was reading in his modest apartment near the campus when he was startled by a “high-pitched, siren-like sound.” When he went to his window to find out the source of the eerie sound, he saw a glow emanating from outside, so he opened the door to check it out and was met with the sight of a round, smooth craft that slowly descended from the sky about fifty yards away. That’s when things would get really weird. The report continues:   

“After five minutes the pitch of the sound became sharper “and a thing took shape within the doughnut shape of the middle.” It required another minute before the form became clearly visible. According to Walker, “It was a human-like being standing erect,” and colored like “a sea green opaque, like a hologram.” The most prominent aspect of the creature was its “medusa-head,” composed of objects resembling tentacles that surrounded the head. Each hand had three or four fingers, but otherwise seemed human. “The odd thing to me” Walker continued, “is how little attention it paid me. No interest in communicating with me or threatening me or any other activity, besides observing.” The scene was surreal; the creature bathed in the pale-green light like “an electrical field,” the student thought. Perhaps it was a hologram. Apparently finished with its duties, the entity went back inside the craft. After a half hour the UFO departed.”   

From 1977 there ia a weird encounter in a place called Harrah. which is a tiny rural town in Yakima County, in the center of Washington State, in the United States, with a current population of less than 600 citizens. One frigid winter morning in January of 1977, a 9-year-old José Cantu woke up and went to the kitchen to make something for breakfast. As he did, his concentration was broken by glancing at what he at first thought to be a tiny little man walking past the window. He went to investigate and would soon see that not only was this not a little man, but that it was something far odder than anything he could have imagined.   

When Cantu went out into the yards, he was greeted by the sight of a quartet of otherworldly entities that defied classification. Each of the beings was rotund, greenish in color, standing three feet high, with no legs but rather merely wire and tube adorned wide based hovering rotating pedestals where legs would normally be. Perhaps even stranger still, each of the creatures had a pair of mushroom-capped antennas, coarse hair, pig-like noses and a single eye that peered out of round faces. The arms of the beings were described as floppy, tiny little protuberances that looked like they would be worthless for any sort of practical use.   

Cantu was so shocked by all of this that he hid himself, and that was when he noticed several metallic crafts, each with another little, green, pig-nosed, cyclops sitting within it. These crafts opened to reveal ramps that descended to the ground, after which the entities ascended into the crafts and they took ff with a puff of smoke. Shortly after this, the boy ran to tell his mother what had happened, but she didn’t believe him. He would also tell his teacher and classmates at school, and considering that he was considered to be an honest boy not prone to tall tales, his teacher and a teacher’s aide went with him to investigate the site where he claimed he had seen the bizarre creatures. There they found circular indentations in the ground and a spherical dent in the ground where one of the crafts had apparently sat. They also discovered that the uncut grass in the center of the circular patterns was swirled upward for reasons unknown. In the end, everyone present was convinced that the boy was telling the truth.   

The following year there was a report from Francavilla, Abruzzo, Italy in 1978. On this evening, Mr. Alfredo D'Aviero was returning home on his motorcycle, and since the road was in such poor condition and so riddled with potholes, he looked down to watch where he was going and avoid an accident. A report from Albert S. Rosales on the strange incident continues:   

“When he looked up again he found himself facing two unusual characters: they were two strange "little boys", with small, round eyes, arms behind their back and they seemed to laugh, and one of them seemed to have a slightly crooked jaw. They wore a silvery-white outfit tinged with green, zouaves and cuff. At the head,they wore tight hats that also tightened the chin covering the ears, on the left side of their heads,they wore a small "feather". Their legs didn't have any knees and were as stiff as two sticks. The beings also wore some kind of stilts so you can see the bone-free ankles. D'Aviero tried to offer the two cigarettes and persimmons, but they refused any offer, at which D'Aviero decided to "take them" to Francavilla as proof of his experience. He got closer, he got hit by a blinding flash of light, when he opened his eyes again, the two beings were gone.”   

What in the world? Just as eerie is a report from 1983, in Val Trebbia, Emilia Romagna, Italy. On a beautiful afternoon the witness, only known as Mr. A. was riding his ‘Aprilia’ trail motorbike on the dry bed of the Treibbia River when he suddenly noticed a “being of very unusual features.” A report on the matter from the files of Albert Rosales reads:   

“The witness described the figure as a sort of “flying nun” dressed in a long and dark-colored diving suit, apparently rigid and without folds. The figure also wore a sort of headdress or helmet that closely resembled the one worn by the nuns. The being flew faster than A’s motorbike and at a height of about twenty/thirty centimeters from the ground with its torso slightly bent forward. The bizarre flying figure covered a distance of one hundred and fifty/two hundred meters in about three or four seconds always remaining level to the ground, then it suddenly shot off into the nearby bush and disappeared from sight. It did not make any noise it did not disturb the waters of the river or dust from the ground. The whole encounter lasted about ten interminable seconds. Frightened, the witness immediately reversed and drove towards his house where he told his family what he had seen.”

These are all incredibly strange cases that really skirt the periphery of the bizarre. It is hard to know what we are dealing with in such unconventional accounts. Are these really aliens or do such encounters represent something else entirely? For now, the answers remain elusive, but the reports keep coming in.

Ex-DARPA Manager Claims Encounter with 7-Foot Humanoid Who Told him Human Body Is A Machine Designed To House Soul For Lifetime

He has a second master’s degree and a doctorate in cognitive psychology. He’s an open-minded cognitive scientist who has also served as a visiting professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy, as well as a consultant for the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, NASA, and other agencies.

Throughout his military career, Dr. Blitch served in special operations and hostage rescue missions. After retiring from DARPA in 2002, he founded Blitz Solutions Inc. and established two non-profit organizations: CRASAR, responsible for the first robot-assisted humanitarian response after the September 11, 2001 attacks, and ARACAR, which provided support during the Hurricane Katrina response in 2005.

In an exclusive interview with journalist Ross Coulthart Blitch stated that he believes in the claims made by UFO whistleblower Jake Barber.

“I believe I was visited by Non-human Entities”

Dr. John Blitch recounted several traumatic experiences, both from childhood and later in life, that he believes are connected to encounters with non-human entities. He explained how these incidents left him paralyzed with terror, distinctly different from fear, and how they remain unforgettable due to their emotional intensity.

Dr. Blitch described seeing beings through his bedroom window as a child, staring at him with large dark eyes. These encounters were so frightening that he became paralyzed, unable to scream until the paralysis lifted. He shared that he would eventually scream, prompting his parents to come running and attempt to calm him down.

Despite his father’s assurances that monsters and aliens didn’t exist, Dr. Blitch found their explanations unconvincing. He likened his father’s reassurances to what he perceives as the government’s approach to downplaying the existence of such phenomena.

He acknowledged that, as a child, he tried to dismiss these events as dreams, influenced by his skeptical nature. However, in retrospect, he now believes these were real encounters with non-human intelligences.

Dr. Blitch highlighted the importance of emotion in distinguishing belief from knowledge, stating that while many childhood memories require belief due to lack of proof, his later experiences provide what he considers irrefutable evidence. He firmly stated that he knows he was visited by non-human entities, based on both his childhood and three key incidents as an adult.

His professional background in neuroscience and psychology added depth to his account, as he discussed the physiological responses to terror, such as paralysis and the “chicken skin” reaction. These experiences, he emphasized, went beyond simple fear, leaving a profound impact on him.

Physical Evidence!

Dr. John Blitch recounted waking up after a terrifying night to discover three dark bruises on the inside of his right bicep and another bruise higher up on his arm. The pattern of the bruises suggested a grasp by a three- or four-fingered hand, something he could not logically explain.

He emphasized that he repeatedly tried to determine how he might have caused the injuries but found no plausible explanation. Adding to the strangeness, he noted his uncharacteristic reaction upon waking: he immediately went downstairs to retrieve a video camera to document the bruises.

This behavior was highly unusual for him, as he typically had no inclination to record himself or take photos of his body. He suggested that this anomalous behavior, along with the unexplained bruises, strongly supported the idea of non-human engagement.

Abduction!

That experience leads me to believe that, yes, absolutely, because I clearly didn’t want to go. If something, somebody, or a non-human entity—I think it was a biological robot—wanted me to go somewhere I didn’t want to go, then technically, that is the definition of an abduction.

From my perspective, two species are visiting us, and I feel, like many other abductees, like a lab rat—that we are being prodded, poked, and experimented on as part of scientific discovery.

~Dr. John Blitch

Dr. John Blitch confirmed having held a Top Secret SCI clearance, particularly as a nuclear weapons delivery officer, which required an exceptional level of trust and stability.

He served as a Pershing II missile battery commander, responsible for nuclear missile operations, including leading troops in multiple command roles.

Despite his verified stability and military role, Dr. Blitch openly admitted to having encounters with non-human beings. He mentioned that he was not alone—at least four other peer-qualified military personnel with similar credentials had publicly shared their abduction experiences.

Dr. Blitch brought up notable figures like Terry Lovelace, Mario Woods, Jeff Goodrich, and Bob Jacobs, alongside Robert Hastings, who investigated such incidents. He argued that individuals like Terry Lovelace, who held high-security military roles and later achieved respected civilian positions, provide significant credibility to their claims.

He challenged Congress and skeptics to question the reliability of individuals like Lovelace if they doubt these accounts.

Dr. John Blitch firmly believes that such events are not dreams, emphasizing his inability to dismiss physical evidence like bruises on his body and the accounts of his family, who reported he was missing for about five hours following a supposedly one-hour bike ride.

He goes on to recount an intense, haunting incident that began after a traumatic experience in Oklahoma City, where he witnessed a severe amputation. To cope with the emotional toll, he began taking mountain bike rides to meditate, particularly to a remote area called Daniel’s Park in Denver. One day during his ride, while p assing a fenced area with a sign saying “Indian Burial Grounds,” Dr. Blitch felt an inexplicable urge to trespass. After an internal struggle about respecting the land, he climbed over the fence and started walking his bike through the area. As he ventured farther, he noticed blood on his hand, a bizarre and unexpected bloody nose that seemed unrelated to physical exertion.

He collapsed, later experiencing intense cold and disorientation. Upon regaining his senses, he found himself inexplicably drawn toward a light on a plateau, though he couldn’t explain why. Approaching the light, he observed what he believed was a fuel truck, though his memory was foggy. Strangely, when he attempted to interact with the truck, he felt fear and avoided further engagement.

The odd events continued as he frantically biked home but soon found himself disoriented, arriving hours later than expected. At a nearby 7-Eleven, while extremely dehydrated, he heard his name broadcasted over a police radio. The officer informed him that his wife had filed a missing persons report after his long absence. This was especially troubling because, according to his recollections, the bike ride, which should have taken a couple of hours, had inexplicably stretched out much longer. He felt exhausted as though he had run a marathon but couldn’t make sense of the lost time. The entire event, punctuated with physical and emotional disarray, only added to his growing certainty that extraterrestrial beings had involved themselves in his life.

Dr. John Blitch discussed his struggle with understanding experiences that challenge reality, particularly those involving altered perceptions. He questioned how one could determine the true nature—benevolent or malevolent—of something capable of manipulating perceptions.

He recounted an experience where he froze in fear upon seeing the cover of Whitley Strieber’s book Communion, which features the image of a gray alien. While walking through a Barnes & Noble with his youngest daughter, he glanced at the cover and was immediately overwhelmed by terror, feeling a deep, physiological response. His daughter, noticing he was paralyzed, tugged on his hand, breaking the spell. Despite his terror, he later purchased the book, immediately tore off the cover, and threw it away.

• This New UFO Whistleblower Blowing The Lid Off Everything Says He Saw An “Egg-Shaped UAP” With No Visible Propulsion System

Blitch linked this fear to memories from his childhood, particularly of seeing similar alien faces looking at him through a window. These experiences left lasting psychological effects, such as obsessive-compulsive behaviors, including repeatedly checking and locking doors and drapes at night. He highlighted how these incidents created a deep sense of unease that he could not shake, reinforcing the profound and unsettling impact they had on him.

Dr. John Blitch addresses the perception of malevolence in his abduction experiences compared to others interviewed on similar topics.

He acknowledges that while these beings tamper with memories, there may be a benevolent intent behind it. He explains that they bring abductees back safely to their original location, such as his return to his bedroom or being placed near his bike after one incident. He compares the memory tampering to methods humans already use in anesthesia, where specific drugs can erase memory around traumatic events. He believes these beings might employ directed energy tuned to the brain’s hippocampal and memory networks to achieve similar results, potentially out of consideration for the psychological trauma abductees might experience.

To illustrate the concept, Dr. Blitch draws a comparison to how he used to take his Labrador Retriever to the vet every three months. Despite the dog’s resistance and physical discomfort from being dragged into the clinic, Dr. Blitch insists it was for the dog’s benefit. He implies that the beings’ actions, even when uncomfortable or invasive, may similarly have a greater purpose rooted in assistance or improvement rather than harm.

Meeting Alien Abductor!

Dr. Blitch described encountering a tall, seven-foot creature resembling a praying mantis, which conveyed a strong male presence and seemed upset, even chastising him. This event occurred in his bedroom on the third floor of a split-level house, where the being entered through a sliding screen door that opened onto a deck with no stairs. Despite his terror and paralysis, Dr. Blitch noted the entity’s direct and intent focus as it telepathically communicated with him.

The being explained that the human body is merely a “soul housing group” or a machine designed to house the soul for a lifetime. It claimed that while they might manipulate, adjust, or even replace parts of the body, they could not take the soul or consciousness. Frustrated by his resistance, the being likened the situation to a surgeon or veterinarian needing cooperation from a reluctant subject. It urged him to stop resisting so they could proceed with their work.

To prove its message, the entity projected a terrifying image. It revealed its mandibles and simulated the sensation of ripping chunks from Dr. Blitch’s cheek, causing blood to spatter in his perception. Though he felt the physical tugging and saw the blood, he later realized it was a false memory—an intentionally planted, vivid visual meant to communicate their power over his body without any actual harm.

Dr. Blitch also addressed secrecy surrounding these encounters. He expressed admiration for those who have concealed the reality of non-human intelligence, comparing their actions to keeping the Manhattan Project secret during World War II. He believes many did so for the greater good, protecting society from truths they deemed destabilizing. He acknowledged the existence of crashes, deceased non-human intelligences—some of which he classified as sentient beings, like the “grasshopper” entity, while others, like the “little gray” creatures, were described as biological robots. He suggested that these revelations present such significant challenges that they were withheld because society might not be ready to comprehend or handle the implications.

Shapeshifters and Ancient Aliens: Unraveling Humanity’s Mysterious Origins

The enigmatic tales of shapeshifters and ancient alien origins have fascinated humanity for centuries, weaving a complex tapestry of myth, folklore, and speculative theories. From ancient shamanic rituals to modern interpretations of extraterrestrial influence, these mysteries challenge our understanding of reality and humanity’s place in the cosmos. Are shapeshifting legends and ancient alien theories connected? Could they reveal a hidden link between humanity and otherworldly beings? Let’s delve into these unsolved mysteries.

The Shapeshifter Phenomenon

Shapeshifters are beings capable of transforming their physical form, often taking on the appearance of animals, other humans, or even inanimate objects. This phenomenon appears in nearly every culture worldwide, suggesting a universal human fascination with transformation and the supernatural.

1. Cultural Roots of Shapeshifting:
   • The earliest depiction of a shapeshifter is found in a cave painting in France, showing a shaman transforming into a deer or elk. This ancient artwork suggests that shapeshifting has been part of human consciousness since prehistoric times.
   • In Native American traditions, skinwalkers are believed to be witches or shamans who can transform into animals, often for malevolent purposes.
   • European folklore is rich with tales of werewolves, humans who transform into wolves, often under the influence of a curse or a full moon.
   • Japanese folklore features yokai, supernatural beings that can shapeshift into animals, objects, or even other humans.
2. Voluntary vs. Involuntary Shapeshifting:
   • Voluntary shapeshifters, like skinwalkers or werewolves, are said to control their transformations, often using their abilities for specific purposes.
   • Involuntary shapeshifters, on the other hand, are transformed against their will, often as a result of divine punishment or curses, as seen in Greek and Roman myths where gods transform mortals into animals or objects.
3. Shamanic Rituals and Transformation:
   • Shamans in various cultures, such as the Kalahari Bushmen, use rituals involving dance, percussion, and hallucinogens to enter trance states. During these rituals, they believe they transform into animals, gaining their abilities and perspectives.
   • These practices suggest that shapeshifting may have roots in altered states of consciousness, where the boundaries between human and animal identities blur.

Ancient Alien Theories and Shapeshifting

The idea that shapeshifting legends might be connected to ancient alien origins has gained traction in recent years. Proponents of this theory argue that these myths could be evidence of extraterrestrial influence on human history.

1. The Ancient Astronaut Hypothesis:
   • Popularized by authors like Erich von Däniken (Chariots of the Gods) (Amazon link), the ancient astronaut hypothesis suggests that extraterrestrial beings visited Earth in ancient times, influencing human civilization and leaving behind clues in myths and religious texts.
   • Shapeshifting legends, such as gods transforming into animals or humans, could be interpreted as encounters with advanced beings capable of altering their appearance.
2. The Role of Folklore and Fiction:
   • The connection between ancient alien theories and shapeshifting can be traced back to the works of H.P. Lovecraft, whose horror fiction explored themes of ancient gods, extraterrestrial beings, and transformation.
   • Lovecraft’s stories, such as The Call of Cthulhu, inspired later writers and researchers, including Louis Pauwels and Jacques Bergier (The Morning of the Magicians), who in turn influenced von Däniken’s work.
3. Critiques and Skepticism:
   • While the ancient alien theory is compelling, it faces criticism from scholars who argue that it often misinterprets ancient texts and artifacts.
   • For example, Zecharia Sitchin’s claim about the planet Nibiru (Amazon link) lacks support from mainstream scholars, who argue that the term likely refers to the ancient city of Nippur rather than a celestial body.

Hybridization: A Recurring Theme

A recurring theme in both shapeshifting legends and ancient alien theories is the idea of hybridization—the blending of human and otherworldly traits.

1. Ancient Texts and Hybrid Beings:
   • The Book of Genesis (6:1-4) describes the “sons of God” (interpreted as spiritual beings) interbreeding with human women to produce the Nephilim, a race of giants.
   • The Book of Enoch expands on this narrative, suggesting that these hybrid beings were part of a larger plan to corrupt humanity.
2. Modern Interpretations:
   • Some researchers argue that modern accounts of alien abductions and hybridization experiments could be a continuation of this ancient phenomenon.
   • These theories propose that extraterrestrial beings are still interacting with humanity, possibly for genetic experimentation or other unknown purposes.

The Intersection of Myth and Reality

The mysteries of shapeshifters and ancient alien origins blur the line between myth and reality, inviting us to question the nature of existence and our place in the universe.

1. Psychological and Symbolic Interpretations:
   • Shapeshifting legends may symbolize humanity’s desire to transcend physical limitations or explore different aspects of identity.
   • Ancient alien theories, while speculative, reflect our fascination with the unknown and the possibility of life beyond Earth.
2. The Role of Modern Research:
   • Researchers like John Kachuba (Shapeshifters: A History) (Amazon link) and Derek Gilbert (Destination Earth) (Amazon link) explore these themes through a blend of historical research, folklore, and modern speculation.
   • Their work highlights the enduring appeal of these mysteries and their potential to reveal deeper truths about humanity’s past and future.

VIDEO:

The unsolved mysteries of shapeshifters and ancient alien origins continue to captivate our imagination, offering a glimpse into the unknown and the extraordinary. Whether rooted in ancient myths, shamanic practices, or encounters with otherworldly beings, these phenomena challenge us to explore the boundaries of reality and consider the possibility that we are not alone in the cosmos. As we continue to investigate these mysteries, we may uncover new insights into the nature of existence and humanity’s connection to the stars.

This Man Claims Ex-Military Officer Worked At Area 51 Reveals UFOs Run on Space-Harnessed Electricity, Creating a “Void” for Travel

This Man claims a drunk ex-military officer from Area 51 revealed UFOs run on Space-Harnessed Electricity, creating a “void” for travel, not like combustion engines. He also said two stars in Orion’s Belt house “good aliens” (gray types), while a nearby star is home to “bad aliens” (tall, brown-skinned).

The person recounts a conversation he had with a drunk, ex-military neighbor, who allegedly worked at Area 51. According to the man, the discussion took place during a neighborhood blackout, when the stars were more visible due to the lack of light pollution. The neighbor pointed to a formation in the sky, identifying it as Orion’s Belt, and claimed that two of its stars were home to “good aliens,” while a nearby star housed “bad aliens.”

According to the neighbor, the “good aliens” resemble the stereotypical “grays”—small beings with large heads and oversized eyes. The “bad aliens,” in contrast, are tall, brown-skinned, emit a foul odor, and are somehow connected to the nearby star.

The ex-military officer provided a cryptic explanation when the man pressed his neighbor on how UFOs travel from these stars to Earth. He claimed that UFOs don’t rely on traditional propulsion systems like combustion engines. Instead, their technology supposedly harnesses electricity from space itself, enabling them to create a “void” in space. This void allows the UFOs to essentially “fall” through it, making travel extremely fast without the need for thrust-based motion. However, the explanation was vague and difficult to follow.

The man notes that the neighbor seemed genuine and convinced, despite being heavily intoxicated. This level of drunkenness casts doubt on the credibility of the story. The man also reflects on his own UFO sighting in the Mojave Desert, where he witnessed an object moving much faster than a plane. While he remains skeptical, he entertains the possibility that there might be some truth to these claims.

Interestingly, a month ago, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna posted this picture of the Constellation of Orion without a caption, and this man refers to the same place. In 2023, after the historic U.S. Congressional UAP hearings, she claimed she had seen [photo] evidence of UFO technology not made by any government

The Belt of Orion, an iconic constellation, is known for its three bright stars: Alnitak, Alnilam, and Mintaka. These celestial beacons, approximately 1344 light years away from Earth, have captivated the imaginations of astronomers and stargazers alike. Despite their luminous presence, the quest to find exoplanets orbiting these stars has been elusive. Current investigations have not confirmed any exoplanets, but intriguing signs suggest that there might be more to discover.

Alnitak stands out as the youngest of the trio at about 6.4 million years old. Observations from the Spitzer Space Telescope reveal a disk with intriguing structure and brightness variations, hinting at possible planetary formations or dust clumps.

Alnilam exhibits radial velocity variations that could indicate the gravitational influence of an orbiting planet. However, the evidence remains inconclusive, leaving room for further exploration.

Mintaka, sharing similar age and characteristics with Alnitak, also shows a Spitzer disk with intriguing variability. Its age is estimated to be between 6–7 million years, making it a relatively young star in the cosmic timeline.

Humanoid Beings from Orion????

On June 11, 2019, Colombia’s largest newspaper El Tiempo reported that strange tall creatures, whose height was more than 2 meters, had been regularly seen in Guasimal since 2012. The creatures always appear at night, they have a strange robotic voice and are dressed in black.

Guasimal is a small town near the west coast of Colombia. It is a quiet place, there are no prank-loving crowds of frivolous teenagers, but mostly ordinary poor people who raise cattle, work in sugar factories, make cheese, and plant fruit and vegetable crops.

Humanoids first appeared in December 2012 and have returned there every year since then. Each time, Guasimal became more and more popular among Colombian paranormal lovers. They come from all over the country to personally see the creatures. (Source °

Unfortunately, no one has managed to make a video or even a photo of the humanoids or their ship yet. There are only eyewitness accounts. Most often, all these stories are mistaken for ordinary urban horror stories. However, something happened in December 2018 that slightly changed the atmosphere around the alien visits to Guasimal.

Close contact was made between the aliens and local farmer Diego Mondragon. Until December 2018, aliens had also flown to his farm, but there were no close contacts then. At the same time, the aliens came very close to the farm buildings, and all the inhabitants of the farm got scared when they arrived. But Diego told them to calm down, saying that they were peaceful.

After that, Diego approached the five humanoids and they conveyed a message to him for all humanity. They said that people need to love each other, otherwise the human race will soon be destroyed.

They also said that they have lived in these places for 60 years and that they have a deep underground base near the village. They flew to Earth from the planet Orion.

On the same night, one of Diego’s neighbors called the police when he saw tall humanoids on the farm. And police officer Manuel Velandia Márquez responded to the call.

When he arrived, there were many people, and everyone was very nervous and shocked. He claimed to have seen dark silhouettes about two meters high. He said: “(They were) more human beings than we are. They will preserve something of humanity and prepare us for future events.” Velandia said his fellow police officers did not believe him, but he insisted that he had seen it all.

Diego first saw the humanoids when the dogs of his farm began barking loudly in the night and looked towards the chicken enclosure. At the same time, after seven years of observing aliens in Guasimal, he had never seen a UFO there. Other residents also saw only humanoids.

Ufologist Cristian Ramos from the Contact Ovni Colombia group became interested in this case in 2013, and according to him, he also saw those humanoids when he came there.

“In the distance, about 200 meters, there was a silhouette of about 2.30 meters, a thick build, black clothes, a black suit, boots. He wavered from left to right and never remained motionless. He watched us.”

Since then, police and journalists have interviewed many people in the Guasimal area, and many of them have told them stories of humanoids who could jump over the roof. Besides, they said that some people had also come into contact with them.

Orion’s Belt isn’t just beautiful to look at; it’s also inspired curiosity and stories in ancient cultures. The Egyptians, for example, aligned the Giza Pyramids with Orion’s Belt. This suggests they had advanced knowledge of the stars and possibly felt a spiritual connection to them. The way the pyramids were built, including the King’s and Queen’s Chambers, still sparked debates about their purpose and the Egyptians’ understanding of the universe.

The Dogon tribe has an impressive knowledge of astronomy. They connect Orion to twin gods called Nummo, who they say came from the stars to share knowledge and technology with humans. The Dogon also tells myths about Orion’s Belt, linking it to Amma, their supreme god and the creator of everything. To them, Orion’s Belt represents a special cosmic place where Amma’s order first appeared.

The Navajo people align their four sacred mountains in a way that some believe matches the pattern of Orion’s Belt. These mountains, such as San Francisco Peak, Blanca Peak, and Hesperus Mountain, are part of their spiritual beliefs.

Alien life may look nothing like life on Earth — so how should we go about looking for it?

Detecting life beyond Earth

Since the first discovery of an exoplanet in 1995, over 5,000 exoplanets, or planets orbiting other stars, have been found.

Many of these exoplanets are small and rocky, like Earth, and in the habitable zones of their stars. The habitable zone is the range of distances between the surface of a planet and the star it orbits that would allow the planet to have liquid water, and thus support life as we on Earth know it.

The sample of exoplanets detected so far projects 300 million potential biological experiments in our galaxy — or 300 million places, including exoplanets and other bodies such as moons, with suitable conditions for biology to arise.

The uncertainty for researchers starts with the definition of life. It feels like defining life should be easy, since we know life when we see it, whether it's a flying bird or a microbe moving in a drop of water. But scientists don't agree on a definition, and some think a comprehensive definition might not be possible.

NASA defines life as a "self-sustaining chemical reaction capable of Darwinian evolution." That means organisms with a complex chemical system that evolve by adapting to their environment. Darwinian evolution says that the survival of an organism depends on its fitness in its environment.

The evolution of life on Earth has progressed over billions of years from single-celled organisms to large animals and other species, including humans.

Spectroscopy might detect signatures of oxygen in a planet's atmosphere, which microbes called blue-green algae created by photosynthesis on Earth several billion years ago, or chlorophyll signatures, which indicate plant life.

NASA's definition of life leads to some important but unanswered questions. Is Darwinian evolution universal? What chemical reactions can lead to biology off Earth?

Evolution and complexity

All life on Earth, from a fungal spore to a blue whale, evolved from a microbial last common ancestor about 4 billion years ago.

The same chemical processes are seen in all living organisms on Earth, and those processes might be universal. They also may be radically different elsewhere.

In October 2024, a diverse group of scientists gathered to think outside the box on evolution. They wanted to step back and explore what sort of processes created order in the universe — biological or not — to figure out how to study the emergence of life totally unlike life on Earth.

Two researchers present argued that complex systems of chemicals or minerals, when in environments that allow some configurations to persist better than others, evolve to store larger amounts of information. As time goes by, the system will grow more diverse and complex, gaining the functions needed for survival, through a kind of natural selection.

They speculated that there might be a law to describe the evolution of a wide variety of physical systems. Biological evolution through natural selection would be just one example of this broader law.

In biology, information refers to the instructions stored in the sequence of nucleotides on a DNA molecule, which collectively make up an organism's genome and dictate what the organism looks like and how it functions.

If you define complexity in terms of information theory, natural selection will cause a genome to grow more complex as it stores more information about its environment.

Complexity might be useful in measuring the boundary between life and nonlife.

However, it's wrong to conclude that animals are more complex than microbes. Biological information increases with genome size, but evolutionary information density drops. Evolutionary information density is the fraction of functional genes within the genome, or the fraction of the total genetic material that expresses fitness for the environment.

Organisms that people think of as primitive, such as bacteria, have genomes with high information density and so appear better designed than the genomes of plants or animals.

A universal theory of life is still elusive. Such a theory would include the concepts of complexity and information storage, but it would not be tied to DNA or the particular kinds of cells we find in terrestrial biology.

Implications for the search for extraterrestrial life

Researchers have explored alternatives to terrestrial biochemistry. All known living organisms, from bacteria to humans, contain water, and it is a solvent that is essential for life on Earth. A solvent is a liquid medium that facilitates chemical reactions from which life could emerge. But life could potentially emerge from other solvents, too.

Astrobiologists Willam Bains and Sara Seager have explored thousands of molecules that might be associated with life. Plausible solvents include sulfuric acid, ammonia, liquid carbon dioxide and even liquid sulfur.

Alien life might not be based on carbon, which forms the backbone of all life's essential molecules — at least here on Earth. It might not even need a planet to survive.

Advanced forms of life on alien planets could be so strange that they're unrecognizable. As astrobiologists try to detect life off Earth, they'll need to be creative.

One strategy is to measure mineral signatures on the rocky surfaces of exoplanets, since mineral diversity tracks terrestrial biological evolution. As life evolved on Earth, it used and created minerals for exoskeletons and habitats. The hundred minerals present when life first formed have grown to about 5,000 today.

For example, zircons are simple silicate crystals that date back to the time before life started. A zircon found in Australia is the oldest known piece of Earth's crust. But other minerals, such as apatite, a complex calcium phosphate mineral, are created by biology. Apatite is a primary ingredient in bones, teeth and fish scales.

Another strategy to finding life unlike that on Earth is to detect evidence of a civilization, such as artificial lights, or the industrial pollutant nitrogen dioxide in the atmosphere. These are examples of tracers of intelligent life called technosignatures.

It's unclear how and when a first detection of life beyond Earth will happen. It might be within the solar system, or by sniffing exoplanet atmospheres, or by detecting artificial radio signals from a distant civilization.

The search is a twisting road, not a straightforward path. And that's for life as we know it — for life as we don't know it, all bets are off.

Charles Hall’s Astonishing Encounters with Tall Whites: Secrets of Extraterrestrial Life Revealed

lace during the 1960s at Nellis Air Force Base and its auxiliary field, Indian Springs, located in Nevada. Hall’s claims have sparked intrigue and controversy, offering a detailed account of interactions with beings from beyond Earth. Let’s delve into the core of his discoveries.

Who Are the Tall Whites?

According to Hall, the Tall Whites are a humanoid extraterrestrial species with pale skin, tall stature, and an advanced level of technology. They are described as highly intelligent, traveling in family units that include men, women, and children. Their physical appearance allows them to blend into human-like settings, although their pale and almost translucent skin makes them distinctive.

The Tall Whites are said to have a unique physiology that allows them to live much longer than humans, with some individuals potentially reaching ages well beyond our understanding of life expectancy. They wear technologically advanced suits that enable levitation and serve as protective mechanisms. Hall observed that their behavior could be perceived as cautious and defensive, particularly in unfamiliar situations.

The Alleged Collaboration with the U.S. Government

Hall claims that the U.S. government built a base for the Tall Whites at the northern end of Indian Springs Valley. This area, described as having a double security perimeter, was treated like a foreign embassy, with the outer perimeter managed by the U.S. military and the inner perimeter controlled by the Tall Whites themselves.

The base functioned as a spaceport for the Tall Whites, where their spacecraft were repaired, refueled, and refurbished. Hall noted that their deep-space craft adhered to a strict schedule, typically arriving at sundown on the night of a full moon and departing at midnight on the night of a new moon. This attention to lunar and gravitational conditions suggests a highly sophisticated understanding of physics and space travel.

Cultural Observations and Interactions

Hall’s interactions with the Tall Whites provided insights into their culture and behavior. He described them as having a sense of humor, a social hierarchy, and emotional depth. They traveled in family groups, and children often accompanied adults during visits to the base.

In one memorable instance, Hall recounted how Tall White children entered his vehicle and playfully mimicked driving it. These moments of levity contrasted with the overall tension of his encounters, as the Tall Whites remained wary of human actions that could be interpreted as hostile.

Other Extraterrestrial Encounters

In addition to the Tall Whites, Hall reported interactions with two other extraterrestrial species:

• Norwegians with 24 Teeth: These beings were so similar to humans that they could walk among us undetected unless examined by a dentist.
• Grays: Hall’s encounters with the Grays, often associated with the Roswell incident, revealed significant differences in physiology and behavior compared to the Tall Whites. For example, adult Grays required breathing devices to survive in Earth’s atmosphere, while their younger counterparts could breathe without assistance.

Technology Beyond Human Understanding

A key aspect of Hall’s claims revolves around the advanced technology of the Tall Whites. Their spacecraft reportedly operated without conventional fuel sources, utilizing propulsion systems that left no ion trails or emissions. Hall speculated that their technology relied on principles of physics unknown to humans, potentially involving undiscovered forces akin to gravity or magnetism.

These capabilities allowed the Tall Whites to travel vast interstellar distances without the limitations faced by human spacecraft. Hall’s observations suggested that their understanding of space-time far exceeded that of contemporary human science.

Government Secrecy and Disclosure

Hall’s experiences highlighted the U.S. government’s efforts to keep the existence of the Tall Whites a secret. The extraterrestrials themselves reportedly advocated for transparency, urging the government to disclose their presence to the public. However, the government’s reluctance to do so stemmed from concerns about societal reactions and potential risks to national security.

Interestingly, Hall emphasized that his role was not part of any reverse-engineering program or formal collaboration. Instead, he acted as a liaison of sorts, tasked with observing weather conditions while adhering to strict protocols for interacting with the Tall Whites. These included avoiding sudden movements, refraining from taking photographs, and always remaining alone during his duties.

Motivation for Sharing His Story

Charles Hall initially intended to document his experiences for his children and grandchildren, aiming to convey the emotions and challenges he faced during his time at Indian Springs. Over time, his accounts gained wider attention, leading to the publication of his “Millennial Hospitality” book series (Amazon link).

Despite the lack of physical evidence, Hall’s detailed recollections and consistent narrative have captured the interest of UFO researchers and enthusiasts. Investigative journalist Paola Harris spent years verifying aspects of his story, adding credibility to his claims by interviewing others who had been stationed at Nellis during the same period.

Charles Hall’s account of the Tall Whites offers a fascinating perspective on potential extraterrestrial interactions with humanity. While skepticism surrounds his claims due to the absence of tangible evidence, the depth and consistency of his narrative continue to spark curiosity and debate. Whether viewed as a literal account or a symbolic tale, Hall’s story challenges us to explore the boundaries of human knowledge and consider the possibility of life beyond Earth.
