The Best UFO Sightings, Videos & Alien Encounters Of 2021 -  Part I

We start 2021 very much in the same way we began 2020 – with an apparent expectation of a huge release of information combined with an admission of prior knowledge about the existence of UFOs and alien life. Essentially, “disclosure”.

Of course, whether that disclosure arrives remains to be seen. However, sightings of strange lights and objects in our planet’s skies have continued over the first four weeks of the new year, suggesting that 2021 will indeed be a busy year for all things UFO-related.

February

February was witness to many varied UFO sightings all around the world. And like previous months and years, the variety of the sightings is matched only by the intrigue they generate. From sightings of strange orbs rising rapidly into the atmosphere, disc-like objects emerging from the clouds to fleets of UFOs hanging over busy cities, February has once again played host to various aerial anomalies in our collective skies.

As always, however, we begin our round-up with a look at some of sightings that occurred last month but have only recently been reported in the last few weeks, the first of which features the previously mentioned UFO fleet.

UFO “Fleet” Captured On Video, Lehigh, Florida, February 2020

Perhaps the eldest sighting only recently reported is MUFON case 113798, which while unfolding on February 2020, has only just entered the public domain. The sighting is particularly interesting in that it appears to show many different lights – described as a “fleet” by some UFO enthusiasts – that are clearly visible in the night sky.

The witness would claim that they had just finished work for the evening when they noticed “all these orbs just stationary in the sky”. What’s more, some of these objects would “disappear and reappear”. Realizing they were witnessing something out of the ordinary, the witness reached for their phone and shot around a minute of footage. They would state, however, that despite the extraordinary nature of the incident, they were “in a hurry to get home” and had to turn their mind to the journey.

Once more, if we take note of the location, is this another sighting that lends credibility to the notion of secret bases somewhere under the water off the American coast? It is certainly a thought-provoking sighting, which you can see below.

Bright Glowing Object Captured On Camera Over Wasilla, Alaska, 10th Jan

Although it wasn’t reported until the third week on February, a sighting that occurred in Wasilla, Alaska appears to show a bright object in the early evening skies. Captured somewhere between 7 pm and 9 pm, the witness would claim that they had seen many UFOs over the area.

This is interesting as Alaska is a relative object for such strange and intriguing sightings. Was this another one that suggests an apparent alien interest in this part of the world?

This particular sighting was of a glowing object – either spherical or disc-shaped – that, from the brightness of it, appears to be very large. As we will examine shortly, in the very same location a little over a month later, another similar sighting occurred.

You can see the picture the witness captured below.

Bright Ascending Object Captured Over Montana 30th Jan

A sighting from Montana on the evening of 30th January was captured on video and appears to show a bright object ascending over the city of Ferndale. The footage was captured at a little after 10 pm and does indeed appear to show large, artificial object heading high up into the atmosphere.

The witness was at a local bar when they captured the footage, near the Swan Mountain range. While some who have viewed the video state that the object could be something due to atmospheric conditions, others believe that it shows a genuine extraterrestrial craft. One thing that all appear to agree on, though, is that it is a very interesting piece of footage.

You can see that video footage below.

Strange Object Witnessed Over Edinburgh, Scotland, 30th Jan

At around 5 pm on the 30th January in Edinburgh in Scotland, a local woman noticed a strange “UFO-like object” hovering almost directly over her home. Thew witnessed managed to obtain several moments of video footage of the object, which according to the Edinburgh Live platform (who received the report) showed a “dark object (that) flies back and forth”.

The witness claimed that she had dismissed the notion that the “object” might have been merely birds due to how it “kept disappearing” and then reappearing. She did say, though, she was not sure what the object was, but that birds, in her opinion, what not have remained in such an aerial position for as long as the sighting went on for, around 10 to 15 minutes.

The witness was also certain that the object disappeared on several occasions, stressing that she meant “proper disappearing”, and that the activity appeared to be taking place close to or over Edinburgh Airport. We should note that many UFO sightings have occurred near airports, many of which have unfolded in recent years. Whatever the object was on this occasion, though, remains a mystery.

Strange Trails Over Denver, Colorado, 31st January

During the morning of 31st January (according to separate MUFON reports – number 113474 and 113475) at just before 11 am, several local residents of Denver, Colorado spotted strange objects that appeared to be falling to the ground leaving trails behind them.

One witness would claim they were simply drinking their usual morning coffee and looking out of his window as normal when they noticed the strange trails. He alerted his friend who was with him and both kept their focus on them for several moments. As they watched, the witness recalled how you could “see that there as a directional change in the upper atmosphere”. Furthermore, after reaching an approximate altitude of around 1,500 feet, the objects themselves appeared to change direction, heading toward nearby Buckley Air Force Base.

The witness would further state that all three of the apparent objects “maintained a perfect formation” and that they made no noise whatsoever. They eventually disappeared into the distance.

A second witness would claim that they too had seen “three large white objects” that moved at a “high rate of speed”. They would also state, like the first witness, that they “maintained their formation” and that they appeared very much like “cloud tear-drops”. They would claim the objects appeared to “fall” before they suddenly changed direction, heading east at a “high rate of speed”. The witness would eventually lose sight of them behind the trees and buildings in the distance.

As we might imagine, there were a whole host of explanations offered for the strange objects, including that they were extraterrestrial crafts.

However, one UFO researcher, Scott Brando, would suggest in the Express newspaper that there was a “terrestrial explanation” for the sighting, elaborating that they were “contrails from three military aircraft”. Furthermore, he would claim another researcher, Mick West of Metabunk, had already identified two of them as “C-17A Globemasters”. We should perhaps note that one of the witnesses claimed the objects intentionally changed direction and headed toward Buckley Air Force Base. Might this suggest that they were indeed military aircraft?

What do you think? Are these merely military aircraft? Or might there be an otherworldly explanation? You can see the footage below and make up your own minds.

Strange, Glowing Object Spotted Over Coventry, England, 1st Feb

Another sighting from the MUFON files (case number 113692) unfolded in the daylight skies of Coventry, England on the 1st February.

According to the witness, they spotted a “helixical shape” while they were pruning trees in their garden. They watched the strange shape for around a minute before reaching for their phone and beginning to film it. Shortly after the did so, “another faster moving shape enters the frame” and was “moving erratically”.

While this second object disappeared, the first continued along a “fairly straight trajectory”. The witness’s wife also saw the bizarre object along with her husband. Although they were uncertain of what the object was, they believed it was “too erratic to be a satellite” and also felt that the International Space Station (which was over the UK at the approximate time of the sighting) would not have been invisible during the day.

You can see video footage of that sighting below.

Orange, Glowing Craft Over Colina, Chile, 3rd Feb

On the evening of 3rd February over the city of Colina in Chile, a strange object was captured on video moving through the skies overhead. The object in question appears orb-like and has a gentle orange glow. The way it moves suggest that it is not a planet and it has no standard lights that suggest it is a terrestrial aircraft.

The footage itself is all we have to go on with this particular sighting as there is little other details in the public domain at this stage. Given that the sighting occurred over such a populated area it would be a little surprising if it wasn’t seen by other local residents.

You can check out that video footage below.

Object Appears Out Of Clouds Over Georgia, 9th Feb

At 10 am on the morning of 9th February over Moultrie in Georgia, a local resident spotted what appeared to be a disc-shaped object in the grey, morning sky. The witness, who was visiting a local Walmart store, noticed a strange shape in the clouds and immediately went to capture the anomaly on camera and snapped off three pictures “back-to-back”.

However, when the witness studied the pictures, they noticed what appeared to be an object shaped decisively like a disc. They attempted to take several more pictures in an attempt to capture the object once more. However, all they showed were the clouds suggesting that the object, whatever it was, had gone.

The witness would conclude that the object must have been “moving extremely fast” and appeared to have “come straight out of the clouds”.

Did the witness capture a UFO on film by taking a picture by pure chance at the exact moment it was leaving the cloud cover and heading off into the distance and presumably very high speed? If so, we can assume that the object made no noise whatsoever as they were not aware of its presence in real time. How many other objects might be zipping around our skies without anyone noticing them?

You can check out some of those pictures below.

Several Strange Lights Over Los Angeles, California, 10th Feb

During the evening of the 10th February over the skies of Los Angeles in California, a local resident – Bobby Cail, managed to capture footage of several strange lights seemingly hovering over the city.

The witness claimed he watched the brightly glowing lights for several moments before reaching for his phone in order to record them. However, within seconds of the recording beginning, the lights begin to fade away and disappear, almost as if they are aware of being captured on film. While this could merely be coincidence, and most likely is, it is still an intriguing detail that we shouldn’t ignore.

Whatever the objects were, they are just one of many UFO reports that come out of California. And as we shall see in a moment, around 48 hours later, a similar sighting would unfold in nearby Arizona. Before we move on to that, though, you can see that footage below.

Multiple Orb-Like UFOs Over Tempe, Arizona, 12th Feb

Only two nights later, and from another case from the MUFON files is case number 113700, a similar sighting unfolded when several strange orb-like lights appear in the early evening sky over Tempe, Arizona on 12th February.

The witness would claim that they were speaking with their wife and looking out of their kitchen window when he suddenly noticed “a group of strange lights” in the sky. He alerted his wife before reaching for his phone in order capture several moments of the bizarre scene. He would later that the strange objects moved for so long before becoming stationary, “pulsated and then vanished into the clear night sky”.

At one point during the sighting, an airplane traveled in the same direction of the objects, with them seeming “unaffected by this”. In fact, once the plane had disappeared out of sight, “more (objects” returned to the sky”. The witness would further describe the objects as being a “reddish orange color” although the color didn’t appear on the video footage.

You can see video footage of that sighting below.

UFOs Captured During Interview On RT News, 13th Feb

During a live television interview on RT (Russia Today) News, two distinctly disc-shaped objected seemingly appeared behind one of the interviewers. The objects appeared to move at a high rate of speed and appeared to move in a strict formation.

There is little further information as to what the objects might have been, as well as if there as an official reaction to the sighting. The brief seconds of footage, though, are extremely interesting.

We should note that this is not the first time where UFOs have been captured on screen during live television broadcasts. As we have examined before, these strange objects have shown up on news interviews, weather reports, and even live sports broadcasts. Once more, we might ask, given that we are not actively recorded all parts of the sky all the time, how active with UFOs they just might be.

You can see that news clipping below. The UFO enters the screen from the left.

Meteor Or UFO Over Melbourne, Australia, 14th Feb?

On the evening of 14th February in Melbourne, Australia, a local resident filmed what they believe to be a meteor falling from the sky. However, according to UFO researcher and author, Scott Waring, the footage might actually be that of a UFO descending in a controlled fashion.

Waring would state on his website that if the object was a meteor, it would likely be “moving twice as fast”. Furthermore, there appears to be “no tail” that is visible. Waring also notes, that after the flash that most would suspect to be an explosion, it is clear the object itself was “still intact” before “going dark”.

Was this a UFO that was entering the Earth’s atmosphere? And was the flash the start of some highly advanced propulsion technology? According to many who have viewed the footage, it is, in fact, a meteor, but the debate, it would seem, is still to be had.

You can see the original footage below and make up your own mind.

Strange Glowing Orb Witnessed Over Spain, 15th Feb

Although the footage is only 20 seconds long, a sighting of a strange orb filmed over Badajoz in Spain is very worthy of our time here. The object in question appears to move slow and purposely over the region before disappearing into the distance.

The aerial anomaly also appears to have a persistent glow and a definite solid, disc shape to it. Briefly, it even appears to be rotating around its own axis (something which many UFO reports state and that has been captured on other videos before).

You can see that footage below.

Strange Object Over Cape Town, South Africa, 16th Feb

On the 16th February, local residents of Cape Town in South Africa, witnessed a bizarre green glow in the sky overhead. One resident even managed to capture footage of the strange sighting from the balcony of an apartment at the The Sentinal Luxury Apartment Building, before uploading the video to YouTube under the header “Cape Town UFO Sighting”.

While there is debate as to what the strange green glow might have been, it isn’t the first time in recent weeks that residents of Cape Town have witnessed strange aerial anomalies in their skies. At the start of the month on the 5th February, multiple residents witnessed and reported a “string of lights” moving across the sky at great speed. They then disappeared into the distance. South Africa, like many countries around the world, also has a long history of UFO sightings and activity.

You can view the footage captured on 16th February below.

Lights With “No Sequence Or Rhythm” Gulf Breeze Sighting, 17th Feb

A particularly interesting UFO sighting unfolded at around 10 pm on the 17th February in the Gulf Breeze region of Florida.

The witness would claim they were outside their home using their phone when they “saw a bunch of lights that were blinking”. What’s more, the witness is relatively familiar with both commercial and military planes that fly over the house. These lights, however, the witness recalled as moving “randomly” and with “no sequence or rhythm”.

The sighting lasted for around 10 minutes in total, although the witness only managed to capture around 60 seconds worth of (undoubtedly valuable) footage.

As the witness also correctly points out, the entire Gulf Breeze area has regular UFO sightings, and has done for decades. Might it be that there are some truths in the conspiracies of secret bases, possibly extraterrestrial ones, residing of the coast of Florida, as well as other coastlines of the United States?

You can see the video captured by the witness below.

Another Glowing Orb Witnessed Over Wasilla, Alaska 17th Feb

We began our look at UFO sightings for the month of February by examining an incident that took place at the start of January but was only recently reported. On the 17th February in the same city of Wasilla in Alaska, a similar sighting of a glowing orb hovering high overhead.

The incident occurred at approximately the same time – somewhere between 7 pm and 9 pm – and was captured on camera by the witness. It would appear that the picture wasn’t showing the setting sun as this had occurred earlier. What’s more, due to the cloudy skies, it is likely not a planet either.

Is this more evidence that there is a persistent UFO presence over Alaska? You can see that picture below.

Two Strange Objects Overtaking A Plane Over Rioverde, Mexico, 19th Feb

On the evening of 19th February a local resident, Alejandro Garcia, captured around 30 seconds of footage of two UFOs over the city of Rioverde in Mexico. The footage shows the two objects moving past a plane suggesting they are traversing the skies at a considerable pace. Furthermore, the objects appear to be traveling purposely one over the other.

What isn’t clear is whether the footage shows two objects throughout or whether it shows one object becoming two.

As we have mentioned previously, Mexico is one of the places you might be most likely to see a UFO, with many sightings reported there each year. This incident only adds to its reputation as a UFO hot spot.

The footage in question can be seen below.

Silent Orbs Making Their Way Over Metairie Louisiana, 21st Feb

According to MUFON case 113579 – as highlighted by Scott Waring – a local witness managed to capture footage of several glowing orbs going over the Metairie region of Louisiana. And what’s more, we are not talking just a few – the witness would claim there was likely more than 30 of the strange glowing spherical objects.

Also of intrigue is the fact that some of these glowing orbs appear to change speed (which can be seen in the footage). Does this suggest an intelligence behind them?

The witness stated in their report that the light had “no sound” and were moving in an east to west direction. They glowed with a “reddish pink hue” and were not flashing at all but were consistent.

You can see that footage below.

The American Airlines Flight 2292 Incident, New Mexico 21st Feb

While flying over north east New Mexico, the pilots of American Airlines Flight 2292 witnessed an “unidentified cylindrical-shaped object” speeding through the sky at an altitude of around 36,000 feet. What’s more, the incident has not only been officially confirmed by American Airlines, but the FBI is also said to be investigating the sighting.

Upon seeing the bizarre object, the pilots asked ground control if there were “any targets” in the sky with them as they had “just had something go right over the top of us”.

Interestingly, the sighting occurred in almost the same location as a sighting that occurred in 2018 when two aircraft had such close encounters at almost the same altitude of 37,000 feet. What’s more, one of the pilots involved in that incident would speak to the media, with the descriptions he gave being very similar to those of the recent sighting.

While there is some debate whether such sightings in this region of the United States might be connected to the White Sands Missile Range, many others believe the incident to be yet another encounter with extraterrestrial intelligence.

You can listen to the incident in the video below.

Strange Object Appears Out Of The Clouds Over Cairns, Australia, 22nd Feb

Another MUFON case (113765), on the evening of 22nd February in Cairns, Australia, two local residents witnessed and filmed strange flying object that seemingly appeared out of nowhere.

The witness would state in his brief report of the sighting that they at first believed the object was a “hole in the clouds” until they realized that the clouds themselves were moving behind the object. Then, after several moments, the object “pulsated (and) then disappeared”.

Veteran UFO researcher, Scott C. Waring, would state that this action was “clearly noticing the two men watching it and recording it”. Whatever the object was, if indeed it was a solid object, remains unknown and there if little other details at this point regarding the sighting.

You can view footage of that sighting below.

The Best UFO Sightings, Videos & Alien Encounters Of 2021 - Part II

We start 2021 very much in the same way we began 2020 – with an apparent expectation of a huge release of information combined with an admission of prior knowledge about the existence of UFOs and alien life. Essentially, “disclosure”.

Of course, whether that disclosure arrives remains to be seen. However, sightings of strange lights and objects in our planet’s skies have continued over the first four weeks of the new year, suggesting that 2021 will indeed be a busy year for all things UFO-related.

µJanuary

We will update this article each month with the latest UFO sightings from the previous four weeks as we go through 2021. As usual, though, we start with several recently reported sightings that occurred back in December.

Two Strange Objects Photographed Over Florida, 2nd Dec

Although it wasn’t reported until the middle of January, a strange object was photographed in the skies over Seffner in Florida on the morning of 2nd December. The witness was driving at a little after 10 am she they noticed a strange formation in the cloudy skies above.

They brought their vehicle to a stop and reached for their phone in order to take a picture of the apparent anomaly. When the pictures were viewed a short time later, two strange objects appeared to be in the shot. The witness claimed that they hadn’t noticed them when actually taking the pictures.

It is highly like that the “objects” in question were actually simply lens flares. There is, though, perhaps some doubt, and the picture is certainly intriguing. You can view that picture below.

String Of Red Lights Over Idaho Falls, 5th Dec

Although there is little information at this time, another December sighting not reported until January unfolded over Idaho Falls in Idaho on the evening of 5th December.

At just before 6:45 pm a local resident noticed “two sets of three lights in a slight curved line”. It appeared that each set of three were in motion in their own right as they “blinked separately”. The lights were moving, however, in the same direction, occasionally flashing a white light as they moved.

You can see a picture of the lights that the witness managed to capture and make up your own mind.

Bright, Circular Object Hovers Over Dorchester, Massachusetts 26th Dec

Our last late-reported sighting of December that we will examine took place in Dorchester, Massachusetts on the 26th of December.

At a little after 6 pm, the local resident happened to notice a “white circular object hovering and flashing” while looking out of their window. They watched it move in several directions before seemingly heading toward them. It was at this point when they reached for their phone and began recording the unusual aerial activity.

When they zoomed in with their camera, they noticed how the object was “moving in uncharted flight paths, as if it was trying to get a better look at something”. Once more, then, although it is only a suggestion, there is the notion of some kind of reconnaissance to this UFO sighting.

Furthermore, the witness would claim that the object remained in the sky almost the entire evening. Even more intriguing, the witness claimed that the four objects returned into the same position in the sky and once more acted as though they were scanning the ground below.

The online website where this report was submitted noted that there were no bright planets visible in the area where the incident occurred.

You can view that video below.

Blue UFO Over Hawaii, 29th December

At the end of 2020 on the 29th December, a local resident of the Hawaiian island of Oahu spotted and reported a glowing, blue UFO overhead. The shape of the object appeared to oblong and was “larger than a telegraph pole”.

The sighting was captured on film and was appeared to travel across the sky before eventually entering the waters of the Pacific Ocean. This is, once again, an intriguing detail given the number of researchers who suggest that underwater alien bases exist in several places around the world.

There are, however, plenty of theories and suggestions as to what else the object might have been. Perhaps one of the most recurring was that it could be an “LED kite”. As we might imagine, the debate continues as to how otherworldly or terrestrial the blue object might actually be. It is, however, one of the most intriguing to recently come to light.

The sighting was officially reported to the Federal Aviation Administration. Their initial investigation has not revealed any “aircraft disappearing off radars” and have had “no reports of overdue or missing aircraft”.

You can see footage and a news report of that sighting below.

Demi Lovato Claims Another UFO Sighting, Mid-January

Before we move on to other sightings throughout January, we should perhaps turn our attention to another celebrity claiming an apparent extraterrestrial encounter. And while we might be suspicious that such celebrity claims are nothing more than an exercise in staying in the public eye, they still very much require documenting and examining.

The claim came to light in the middle of January when the singer stated on social media that she had managed to film a UFO “in broad daylight”. The circular object may or may not be a UFO – and certainly got a reaction from her followers, with some stating they were merely balloons.

Incidentally, Lovato has made several claims of seeing UFOs in the past. In October 2020 she released similar footage of an apparent UFO, even claiming she had been in the company of Dr. Steven Greer when the video was captured. From her social media posts and recent interviews, it would appear Lovato is very much a believer in at least the possibility of alien life visiting our planet.

Cube-Like Object Filmed Over Palm Beach, Florida, 3rd Jan

Early in the evening on the 3rd of January in Palm Beach, Florida at around 6 pm, a local resident was leaving a department store with their 10-year-old son when they noticed a “dark, cubed-shaped object” overhead. which was “moving slowly” through the cloudy sky.

The witness immediately reached for their phone, realizing they were witnessing something out of the ordinary, and began to film the aerial anomaly from the street below. They continued to view the object for some time. And while it appeared to be descending, they would eventually lose sight of it as it disappeared “behind the store” which blocked their view. The witness would estimate that it was around 500 feet away from where they stood. Although they would quickly get in their car and attempt to locate it once more, they could not find the object after that.

They would further recall how there was a “dim light” on one side of the object and that it appeared to be completely silent. What’s more, it appeared as though there was “some rotation motion” to the apparent craft.

You can view that footage below.

UFO Captured In Time Lapse Photos, Hatteras Island UFO, 7th Jan

At 10:20 pm on the evening of 7th January, at the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse, a photographer, Wes Snyder, was shooting time-lapse photos for a project that was upcoming. However, during this photo mission, he managed to capture just under three minutes’ worth of footage of a strange object.

Snyder realized he had captured something quite extraordinary when he reviewed the footage. He could immediately see that the object was moving “faster than the clouds” and was much too big to be a plane. Snyder himself is unsure of exactly what the object might have been and asked for viewers’ thoughts when he posted it online.  He did, however, dismiss that it might be a meteorite or a shooting star due to how long it remained in shot.

It is a possibility that the UFO disappeared into the ocean as opposed to into the distance (although there is no footage of this). We mention regularly that many UFO sightings occur near water, with one of the main theories as to why this might be being the presence of underwater alien bases off the coast of the United States.

It is certainly an intriguing piece of footage. You can view Snyder’s video below.

Ring Of Light Captured Over Fargo, North Dakota, 9th Jan

After finishing work at a little after 7 am, a local resident of Fargo, North Dakota, witnessed a strange, glowing ring of lights in the still dark sky as they drove home. Although there was a fog in the sky, the lights were clearly visible.

The witness, who sat waiting at the traffic lights, reached for his film and managed to capture several seconds of them. They would note that the lights appeared to be completely stationary and didn’t move at all during the incident. It appears, when the footage is viewed, that the lights are the underside of a solid object, most likely a circular, disc-shaped one.

One intriguing theory was put forward by veteran UFO researcher and writer, Scott C. Waring. He would state that it was possible the UFO had just landed and the “aliens disembarked to study” the area. If that was the case, then the witness might have been nearer to a much closer encounter than they previously thought.

The witness eventually drove away from the scene. You can see the video in question below.

Glowing Rectangular UFO Over Hollywood, Florida, 12th Jan

Just before midnight on the evening of 12th January in Hollywood, Florida, a rectangular UFO was captured for several minutes on video. The person who captured the footage first noticed the three rows of lights of yellow, red, and white, seemingly hovering overhead in a stationary position.

They managed to use their phone to capture the footage. The object remained visible for some time before disappearing behind buildings and then reappearing again. The lights eventually faded and the object disappeared from view. Whether it moved away into the distance or whether it simply turned off its lights is unclear.

You can view footage of the sighting in the video below.

Objects “Appear Out Of Nowhere” Alejandria, Mexico, 13th Jan

At just after 7 am on the morning of 13th January in Alejandria in Mexico, several UFOs were witnessed and filmed in the skies overhead.

The witnesses to the incident would claim that these strange objects “appeared out of nowhere” and at first were just three lights. However, as they came closer, they very much appeared to have a solidness to them. They would elaborate on how their “glow is fascinating”. The witnesses were in the highlands of the area when they filmed the strange crafts.

The sighting is interesting not only because it appears authentic, but Mexico is home to many UFO sightings month after month. Some researchers even suggest that the several mountains and volcanoes in the area are home to extraterrestrial bases which results in the increased sightings in this part of the world.

You can see that video below and make up your own mind.

UFO Captured Going In And Out Of Clouds Over Picos, Brazil, 15th Jan

On the morning of 15th January over Picos, Brazil, a strange object was filmed leaving the clouds before disappearing back into them. Local resident, Luan Silva had noticed the strange object emerging from cloud and disappearing back into them several times before finally reaching for his phone, managing to film this action.

There is little information or explanation as to what was taking place, but the footage is seemingly credible. If we assume this object was a solid, intelligently guided craft, what might the purpose be for such a display? For example, if this was some kind of reconnaissance mission why would it allow itself to be seen several times? Or might this have been an intentional action to make its presence known, and if so, why?

Pilots Witness UFO Over Pakistan, 23rd Jan

Another sighting involving commercial pilots occurred on the 23rd of January over Pakistan when several pilots with Pakistan International Airlines witnessed something strange in the skies with them. And what’s more, one of the crew managed to capture footage of the obscure object.

The plane was making its way from Karachi to Lahore at around 4 pm when the pilot spotted something out of the ordinary approximately 1000 feet above their own altitude. The captain, Faisal Qureshi, immediately contacted the control tower and reported the strange object. Shortly after, he captured the video footage.

The crew would describe the strange object as being “extremely bright” and appeared to have a metal ring around it. In the video, the pilot is also clearly heard saying “it’s not a balloon, it’s not an aircraft”. We should note that many who have viewed the footage believe there is a distinct possibility that it could indeed be a balloon.

Perhaps an indication of the authenticity of the sighting is the fact the airline themselves issued an official statement regarding it. In it, they stated that it was “too early to say what the object was” and that they might not ever “be able to tell”. However, as it was reported as per protocol, they would investigate.

Just what the object might have been remains open to debate. You can watch a short video on the sighting below.

Strange Object With Rotating Lights Over Great Falls, Montana, 27th Jan

While the following sighting doesn’t have any photographs or video footage to back it up, it is perhaps one of the most detailed incidents of the opening month of 2021. The incident in question took place in Great Falls, Montana at a little after 6 am.

The witness stated how they were laid in bed looking out of the bedroom window having been awake for several hours already. As they did so, they noticed what they at first thought was a plane in the distance. However, when they noticed it was heading toward them, they began to watch the object more closely. It was quickly growing larger in size suggesting it was approaching the house with some speed.

Now beginning to fear the object was about to crash into their home, the witness jumped out of bed, continuing to watch the aerial anomaly as they did. Suddenly, though, the object stopped and hovered. The witness would estimate it was no more than 50 feet from the window he was watching it from.

The witness doesn’t state what actual shape the strange vehicle was, they did state that they briefly contemplated that it was a helicopter which perhaps suggests an oval or cigar shape. They did, though, reveal that in the underside were red and white light that appeared to be rotating randomly. They also recalled that it was completely silent. As he struggled to open the blinds so that he could see the craft more clearly, it suddenly disappeared, again without making a sound.

The witness would make it clear that they were not dreaming nor in a state of sleep paralysis, and that what they had seen was definitely real.

Glowing Spherical Object Moving Slowly Over Touchet, Washington, 27th Jan

A recent MUFON report (MUFON 113398), a local resident managed to capture around 30 seconds of footage of a glowing spherical object moving across the sky. The witness was in their back garden when they first noticed the strange object. They would note how slow and controlled the movement across the sky was, and how it appeared to pulsate somewhat as it moved.

As UFO researcher, Scott Waring asks, might this slow movement over the area be due to a surveillance mission? Or might it even be to monitor how humans react to seeing such alien craft? The debate, on the previous questions and this particular sighting continues.

You can see the video in question below.

Glowing Object Photographed Over St. Peters, Missouri, 28th Jan

According to another recent MUFON case (MUFON 113445) on the 28th of January in St. Peters, Missouri, a passenger in a car noticed a “very bright stationary light in the sky”. They would estimate that the object was around a mile or so away from the moving vehicle and was in view for around 30 seconds. However, during that time, the witness managed to capture several photographs.

What is interesting is that the photographs do appear to show a solid object that is reflecting the sun from a seemingly shiny exterior. And what’s more, very similar photographs have been captured going back many years. Of course, whether the incident was a case of an intelligently guided craft or not remains open to debate. It is perhaps interesting that the object – if we assume for a moment that it is indeed a solid craft – was witnessed over powerlines. Some UFO researchers claim this could be a way of them extracting power from them, or even using them to spy on our own communications.

Incidentally, this sighting is very similar to the sighting over Washington State the day before that we examine above. Might it be the same object?

Blue UFO Over Charlotte, North Carolina, 29th July

On the evening of 29th January over the city of Charlotte in North Carolina, local resident Alisa Homewood witnessed several strange lights overhead. She would recall how she was leaving a grocery store with several members of her family when she “happened to notice the lights”.

She continued to watch them as they approached. When she realized that they were making no sound whatsoever, she decided to take out her phone and photograph them. She would later post the pictures on Facebook stating that although they “flickered like lanterns” they were seemingly unaffected by the wind and instead “followed the same exact path”.

She would conclude that although it was unlikely that “they were aliens” there was nothing to suggest they were “definitely lanterns”.

Interestingly, only hours earlier on the morning of the sighting, Alisa witnessed “approximately six military helicopters fly over the area”. Whether there is a connection between the military helicopters and the later sighting of the apparent blue UFO is perhaps open to debate.

You can see one of those photographs below.

Bright Object Rising Into The Air, San Diego, 28th Jan

At a little after 7 pm on the 28th January in San Diego, California a strange ascending object was captured on a security video. It wasn’t until the following day that the owner of the property realized he had captured something a little out of the ordinary.

This is another sighting that doesn’t at this stage have a lot of information, and there is still speculation as to whether the light belongs to a terrestrial aircraft. However, it is certainly worth including here for your examination.

You can view that footage below.

Cigar shaped UFO spotted from space station - and conspiracy theorists claims it is the same craft seen by a shuttle

• Clip is 1 min 22 seconds and shows the 'UFO'travelling with the station

• Just as the UFO hunter was zooming in the screen went blank
• Said similar to 'UFO' from 2006, but video states it is debris from Atlantis 

By STACY LIBERATORE FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

Most UFO hunters report seeing brightly coloured sphere shaped orbs floating around the darkness off space, but a recent sighting may change the way we perceive alien crafts.

A 'cylinder', semi-transparent shaped UFO was spotted in the live web feed from Nasa earlier this month, traveling alongside of the International Space Station (ISS).

The clip shows the anomaly trailing 'at the same speed of the massive US spacecraft and a Martian researcher says it is similar to 'the cylinder UFO and orbs seen on worldwide CNN back in 2006'.

Most UFO hunters report seeing brightly coloured sphere shaped orbs floating around the darkness off space, but a recent sighting may change the way we perceive alien crafts. A 'cylinder', semi-transparent shaped UFO was spotted in the live web feed from Nasa, traveling alongside of the International Space Station (ISS)

Scott C. Waring, founder of UFO Sighting Daily, was spending a quite night at home watching the live internet cam of the ISS when he saw something strange floating beside it.

'As I was watching, I noticed a long cylinder object floating alongside and below the space station,' Waring shared in his blog today.

The video post is just 1 minute and 22 seconds long and shows the outside of the station, but if you just a little to the right there seems to be an object traveling the same speed.

And just as Waring describes it, 'cylinder' and 'semi-transparent'.

Scott C. Waring, founder of UFO Sighting Daily , was spending a quite night at home watching the live internet cam of the ISS when he saw something strange floating beside it. 'As I was watching, I noticed a long cylinder object floating alongside and below the space station,' Waring shared in his blog today

'Its speed was matched with the ISS, but the object floating was semi-transparent,' he continues.

'Just when you thought it was about to come into focus, the screen went blue'.

'That's what happens when Nasa catches a UFO on cam, they cut the feed for a few minutes.

Waring finished the post recalling a sighting with a similar cylinder shape Martian vehicle that was captured by CNN.

The video features a female employees from mission reaching out to Houston about the external tank that fell from the Atlantis.

'27 - 32 seconds into the video of the external tank, you will see a triangular object fly across the bottom right hand corner of the screen,' Youtube John Schaser, who first published the clip, wrote in the caption.

'Are they orbiting this close to a satellite? or is it a UFO? Tell me what you think. This video is not a fake.'

'I simply downloaded it off of the NASA website and reposted it here, it is still on the NASA server'.

Nasa had to make a public statement debunking what some believed to be a UFO, saying the 'orbs' were 'space debris' that was reflecting sunlight, reports Inquisitor

'Just as the film goes blue, the cylinder moves under some of the land on the earth,' wrote a YouTube commenter named 'technicaly brilliant.' 'Think its some kind of reflection.'

'Just a reflection on the camera, errorhead,' added another commenter on the YouTube video, using the online name 'Allen Roswell.'

'White Sands was a testing ground for atomic weapons - and that's what the extra-terrestrials were interested in,' the 84-year-old Texan told Mirror Online.

'They wanted to know about our military capabilities.

'My own experience talking to people has made it clear the ETs had been attempting to keep us from going to war and help create peace on Earth.'

Dr Mitchell says stories from people who manned missile bases during the 20th Century back up his claims.

'Other officers from bases on the Pacific coast told me their [test] missiles were frequently shot down by alien spacecraft,' he said.

He previously said supposedly real-life ET's were similar to the traditional image of a small frame, large eyes and head.

He claimed our technology is 'not nearly as sophisticated' as theirs and 'had they been hostile', he warned 'we would be been gone by now'. 

But Waring insists the object was a 'cylinder' shaped UFO.

Earlier this year more bizarre footage was released from Russia showing another object trailing the ISS.

The clip was reported to show a spacecraft or piece of debris following the station as it orbited Earth in January.

The footage - claimed to have been shot on the ISS's own cameras - was said to have been taken while the satellite was waiting for a supplies delivery.

This footage sent conspiracy theorist into a frenzy, as many believed it to be a UFO – but others were skeptical about the authenticity of the film and the explanations of the object.

US has 'secret evidence of UFOs breaking sound barrier without a sonic boom and performing moves humans don't have the technology for', says Trump's Director of National Intelligence

• In December a 180-day deadline was announced for a report into UFO sightings

• The Pentagon and intelligence agencies must release their report by June 1

• John Ratcliffe, former DNI, said there were more sightings than publicly known

• Ratcliffe said the observations were made by Navy and Air Force pilots

• They were recorded by 'multiple sensors' and had no obvious explanation

• The incidents included supersonic travel without a sonic boom

• Ratcliffe said it was in the public interest that the information be released 

By HARRIET ALEXANDER FOR DAILYMAIL.COM

The U.S. has evidence of UFOs breaking the sound barrier without a sonic boom and making maneuvers impossible with known technology, the former Director of National Intelligence has revealed.

The revelations increased excitement about a forthcoming report detailing what the U.S. government has observed.

John Ratcliffe, who served as Donald Trump's Director of National Intelligence, said that many of the incidents still have no easy explanation.

'There are a lot more sightings than have been made public,' Ratcliffe told Fox News.  

'Some of those have been declassified.

'And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain. 

'Movements that are hard to replicate that we don't have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.' 

John Ratcliffe appeared on Fox News on Friday to discuss the forthcoming report

Ratcliiffe said that there had been more UFO sightings than the public previously knew

Navy pilots recorded seeing unexplained objects spinning in mid air, in the summer of 2014

Ratcliffe told host Maria Bartiromo that the sightings of 'unidentified aerial phenomena' had been observed all around the world.

'When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is, it's not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection,' Ratcliffe said.

'Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things, and some of these are unexplained phenomenon, and there is actually quite a few more than have been made public.'

The government was, in December, given a 180-day deadline to disclose what it knew, meaning that the report should be out before June 1.

Ratcliffe said he had hoped to publish their findings before he left office on January 20.

'We weren't able to get it down into an unclassified format quickly enough,' he said.

The report was part of a $2.3 trillion COVID relief bill, which Trump signed into law in December.

The bill contained the Senate Intelligence Committee's Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 that had in it a 'committee comment' section that addressed 'unidentified aerial phenomena.' 

The report, produced by the Pentagon and the intelligence agencies, must identify, among other things, any threats posed by unidentified aerial phenomena and whether they may be attributed to foreign adversaries.

'Weather can cause disturbances, visual disturbances,' Ratcliffe said.

'Sometimes we wonder whether or not our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit further down the road than we thought or than we realized.

'But there are instances where we don't have good explanations for some of the things that we have seen.'

Avril Haines is now the Director of National Intelligence in the Biden administration.

The Defense Department announced in September the creation of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force on August 4.

Videos from the Navy were released last year through the Freedom of Information Act that showed UFOs moving at incredible speeds and performing seemingly impossible aerial maneuvers.

One of the videos was shot in November 2004; the other two were shot in January 2015. The three videos were code-named 'FLIR1,' 'Gimbal,' and 'GoFast.'

In the 2015 videos, Navy pilots can be heard expressing disbelief. All three UFO videos were captured by Navy F/A-18 Super Hornets.

The videos were made public and published because of efforts by the New York Times, as well as through efforts by To The Stars Academy, which was founded by Tom Delonge, the founder and lead vocalist for the bands Blink-182 and Angels & Airwaves.

Ratcliffe said it would be 'healthy' for as much of this information as possible to be made public.

A week before Ratcliffe stepped down, in January, the CIA released a treasure trove of newly-unsealed records.

They showed chilling accounts of hundreds of UFO sightings across the globe dating back to the 1950s - along with the international intelligence community's efforts to understand them. 

A dossier with nearly 3,000 pages of documents about Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) - the government's official term for what are commonly called UFOs - was published on The Black Vault website.  

Thousands of paranormal enthusiasts pored through the collection of more than 700 individual documents, according to Black Vault's founder John Greenewald Jr, who has spent the past two decades suing the CIA to release the records and then scanning the pages into his database one by one.  

The CIA purports that the files account for its 'entire' collection of declassified UAP intel, but Greenewald cautions that there's no way to verify that claim and has vowed to continue searching for further records.  

The documents also show correspondence about UFO sightings between CIA officers and members of the military. 

Sometimes the officials brush off observers' stories as purely superstitious, even when another explanation isn't clear. But in other instances the officers show genuine concern that perhaps something dangerous is at play.

In December it emerged that two Pentagon reports had been produced, providing detailed classified information about strange sightings.

The DoD's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force issued the two classified intelligence 'position reports' in 2018 and summer 2020, and they circulated widely in the U.S. intelligence community, according to a detailed account from The Debrief based on interviews with multiple intelligence sources.

The position reports' startling contents included a leaked photo that has never before been made public, accounts of 'Unidentified Aerial Phenomena' (UAP) emerging from the ocean and soaring through the sky, and an admission that extraterrestrial origins for the objects cannot be ruled out.

This leaked photo, published by The Debrief in December, was included in the 2018 position report, two DoD and one intelligence source told the outlet

The photo was previously described as depicting an 'unidentified silver 'cube-shaped' object' hovering over the ocean at an altitude of roughly 30,000 to 35,000

The leaked photo was was captured in 2018 off the East Coast of the United States by a military pilot using his cell phone camera, the sources said.

The photo was previously described as depicting an 'unidentified silver 'cube-shaped' object' hovering over the ocean at an altitude of roughly 30,000 to 35,000. 

It appears that the image was captured by the backseat weapons systems operator of what appears to be an F/A-18 fighter jet. 

Experts were baffled by the photo, but noted that the object somewhat resembles a GPS dropsonde, an atmospheric profiling device designed to be dropped from aircraft, typically over a hurricane. 

'These revelations are extraordinary, and give the public a genuine peek behind the curtain when it comes to how the US government is handling the UFO issue,' Nick Pope, who investigated UFOs for the UK Ministry of Defence, told DailyMail.com.

'What this new information does is confirm that the US government is taking the UFO phenomenon more seriously than ever before,' he added. 'I anticipate further revelations shortly.'

The Pentagon has not confirmed the existence of the two position reports, as well as the authenticity of a leaked cockpit photo included in one of the reports. 

Even more shocking were the revelations contained in a second, revised report issued by the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force in early 2020.

The report delved deeply into the possibility that UAP are able to freely move both through the air and underwater, zipping through the ocean undetected and emerging into the air at incredible speeds.

The report contained an 'extremely clear' photograph of an unidentifiable triangular aircraft that emerged from the ocean in front of a F/A-18 Hornet fighter pilot, sources told The Debrief.

Researcher Dave Beaty created this image to depict the object as described by sources who had seen the report from the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force

That photo has not been leaked publicly, but artist and researcher Dave Beaty's recreation shows it as described by sources: a large equilateral triangle with rounded or 'blunted' edges and large, perfectly spherical white 'lights' in each corner.

The encounter occurred off the East Coast in 2019, according to officials who had seen the latest report. 

Two officials said said the photo was taken after the triangular craft emerged from the ocean and shot straight upwards.

Officials say the latest report focused specifically on the possibility of 'transmedium' craft that are able to operate both underwater and in the air.

'Tic Tac' UFO: US Navy pilot made visual contact with the object on November 14, 2004

At least six Super Hornet pilots made visual or instrument contact with the UFO on November 14, 2004.

The encounters, which are documented in numerous interviews with first-hand witnesses, remain a mystery, and the object's incredible speed and movements have led to speculation that it was extraterrestrial in origin.

The original FLIR video from the USS Nimitz encounters leaked online as early as 2007.

Witnesses say that clips of the video had been circulated widely on the Navy's intranet - used to communicate between ships in the carrier group - and an unknown sailor in the group likely first leaked it.

The clip became one of the most-touted pieces of evidence in the UFO community when the Pentagon confirmed its authenticity in 2017.

In January, Chad Underwood, the former Navy aviator who shot the famous leaked video clip, broke his silence in an interview with New York Magazine.

Chad Underwood, the former Navy aviator who shot the famous leaked video clip, broke his silence in an interview with New York Magazine in January 

He said the oblong, wingless 'Tic Tac' shaped object was spotted off the coast of Mexico over the Pacific.

He also revealed that for about two weeks, the Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser USS Princeton, part of Carrier Strike Group 11, had been tracking mysterious aircraft intermittently on an advanced AN/SPY-1B passive radar.

The radar contacts were so inexplicable that the system was even shut down and restarted to to check for bugs - but operators continued to track the unknown aircraft.

Then on November 14, Commander David Fravor says he was flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet when he made visual contact with the object, which seemed to dive below the water, resurface, and speed out of sight when he tried to approach it.

As Fravor landed on the deck of the Nimitz, Underwood was just gearing up to take off on his own training run.

Fravor told Underwood about the bizarre encounter, and urged Underwood to keep his eyes open.

He recalls how he suddenly saw a blip on his radar before tracking it on his FLIR camera.

Underwood was flying in an F/A-18F Super Hornet as part of the USS Nimitz (above) carrier group when he encountered an 'unidentified aerial phenomena'

'The thing that stood out to me the most was how erratic it was behaving,' Underwood told the magazine.

'And what I mean by 'erratic' is that its changes in altitude, air speed, and aspect were just unlike things that I've ever encountered before flying against other air targets.'

Underwood said the object wasn't obeying the laws of physics and dropped from 50,000 feet altitude to 100 feet in seconds, which he says, 'isn't possible'. He added that he saw no signs of an engine heat plume or any sign of propulsion.

The pilot refuses to speculate as to whether the object is an alien spacecraft or not, however.

'That's not my job. But I saw something. And it was also seen, via eyeballs, by both my commanding officer, Dave Fravor, and the Marine Corps Hornet squadron commanding officer who was out there as well.'

To be declassified: UFO broke sound barrier with no sonic boom

By Stephanie Pappas 

In a Fox News interview, Trump's former intelligence director said the sightings are difficult to explain.

More inexplicable sightings of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) will be released for public scrutiny in June — including a UFO that broke the sound barrier without producing a sonic boom. 

Speaking on Fox News, the former director of National Intelligence, John Ratcliffe, said Saturday (March 20) that the sightings are "difficult to explain." Ratcliffe, who served in the Trump administration, said he'd hoped to declassify the reports during his tenure but that they will be released by the Pentagon by June 1. 

It's not the first time the military has released strange reports, and even videos, of UFOs, known in military parlance as unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs). In April 2020, the U.S. Navy released three videos appearing to show aircraft flying faster than the speed of sound. And Senate intelligence reports reveal that the Pentagon is still on the hunt for UFOs or UAPs. But check your excitement, Fox Mulder — the military is generally more concerned about whether UAPs might be secret aircraft or weapons developed by other nations than it is about finding evidence of ET in our midst. 

According to Newsweek, Ratcliffe said the upcoming Pentagon report will include more sightings and reports of objects moving in seemingly impossible ways or breaking the speed of sound without an accompanying sonic boom. The unexplained sightings occurred all over the world, he said, and include events picked up on automated sensors and not just by human eyes. 

"There are instances where we don't have good explanations for some of the things that we've seen," Ratcliffe told Fox News. 

The report and declassification is required under the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2021. 

However, the sightings may not even represent advanced Earth technology. Debunkers have suggested that the apparent extreme speed of the aircraft in the videos released in April 2020 could be an optical illusion called parallax. This effect occurs when an object close to a camera lens appears to be moving, sometimes quite quickly, as the camera moves, just because it's closer to the lens than objects in the background. (A video example is available at SyfyWire.) Thus, the objects in the video could be as mundane as passenger planes or weather balloons. Some of the sudden movements in the videos may be artifacts of the camera zooming or sharpening the image, Vice reported.

There are also declassified experimental aircraft that can do things like break the speed of sound without the enormous "crack" of a sonic boom. NASA's X-59 Quiet SuperSonic Technology aircraft, which is under construction and not yet in flight, is designed to fly faster than sound without making more than a gentle thump to listeners on the ground. It's unknown if governments have similar, secret technology in testing or use.

Whatever the to-be-released videos show, it's a time of unprecedented document release around UFOs. In January, the CIA unveiled three decades' worth of documents about mysterious incidents reported to or investigated by the agency.

In politics, it’s always easier to admit to things and make promises when one is out of office. That’s especially true on the national level and one field that suffers from these “I didn’t reveal the secrets when I was in office but there’s a lot of them and I’ll do better next time” pronouncements is UFOs and UAPs. Think John Podesta, who claimed he regrated not digging deeper into UFOs and offer some disclosure while working for President Bill Clinton, promised to do better if Hillary Clinton was elected and still hasn’t revealed anything. Now comes John Ratcliffe, the former director of national intelligence under former President Donald Trump. He had this to say during a recent interview with Fox News host Maria Bartiromo (summarized by the Washington Examiner):

“There are a lot more sightings than have been made public. Some of those have been declassified. And when we talk about sightings, we are talking about objects that have seen by Navy or Air Force pilots, or have been picked up by satellite imagery that frankly engage in actions that are difficult to explain. Movements that are hard to replicate that we don’t have the technology for. Or traveling at speeds that exceed the sound barrier without a sonic boom.”

Former director of national intelligence John Ratcliffe

Ratcliffe is referring to incidents like the Navy Tic Tac UFO sightings, which all happened before he became Director of National Intelligence in May 2020. Nothing new here.

“When we talk about sightings, the other thing I will tell you is, it’s not just a pilot or just a satellite, or some intelligence collection. Usually we have multiple sensors that are picking up these things, and … some of these are unexplained phenomenon, and there is actually quite a few more than have been made public.”

There’s Ratcliffe’s “I knew about this but didn’t tell you when I could have” confession. Then comes the “hint about aliens without admitting anything” moment.

“Weather can cause disturbances, visual disturbances. Sometimes we wonder whether or not our adversaries have technologies that are a little bit further down the road than we thought or than we realized. But there are instances where we don’t have good explanations for some of the things that we have seen.”

Why would the former Director of National Intelligence be hinting about extraterrestrials now? He’s out of office and has no chance of getting his old position back for at least four years. Ratcliffe was also a member of the House of Representatives. Could he be planning another run so he can get back to Congress, become the next Harry Reid and influence disclosure?

Former Senator Harry Reid

Sorry, that’s not it either. Ratcliffe’s hints are coming ahead of the $2.3 trillion coronavirus relief and government funding bill that former President Trump signed into law in December, which contained the Senate Intelligence Committee’s Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 which stated that the Intelligence Committee must reveal any threats posed by “unidentified aerial phenomena” and submit them “in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex.” Being the former director, Ratcliffe ‘should’ known what’s in the report. If it’s a real revelation, he can take credit for it since it was committed to under his brief watch. If it has nothing new, he can blame it on the new administration and its director for withholding information. It’s a win-win for Ratcliffe … and nothing as usual for the American UFO-disclosure-seeking public.

Unless there’s really some disclosure in it. The report is supposed to be released by June 1, but anything with “national security” in its content often has a way of being withheld or heavily redacted. All we can do is wait … and elect officials who will really do what they promise, at least when it comes to UFO/UAP disclosure.

Would David Duchovny consider running?

Lying off the coast of Uruguay, in South America, is a tiny speck of rock called Isla de Lobos, meaning “Island of the Fur Seals.” It is nothing more than a desolate slash of rock patrolled by its titular seals and not much to see except a spire reaching up towards the grey sky that is the island’s lighthouse, which at 66 meters in height is among the tallest lighthouses in the world. Although it is now fully automated, there was a time when a garrison of men was required to live in isolation at this remote place in order to operate it, and our story here comes from that era. Here we get into a strange alien encounter from a faraway, remote place, which has never really been adequately explained.

In October of 1972, a total of five men were stationed at the Isla de Lobos lighthouse, working a shift of 15 days, after which another crew would come in and take over. At the time the lighthouse was operated by the Navy, and stationed there were Corporal Juan Fuentes Figueroa, enlisted men Jose Gomez and Hector Gimenez, a telegraph operator Jose Lima, and the sub-officer in charge, Francisco Cascudo. On the evening of the 28^th, at around 10 PM Corporal Fuentes went out on a routine patrol to check on the power generators at the back of the facility, but his attention was caught by some strange lights in the sky hovering near the top of the generator building, seemingly right above a terrace that was situated up there about 20 feet above the ground. The lights looked to him like car headlights, although this was of course impossible, and they seemed to be flashing and oscillating between a mix of white, yellow and violet.

Isla de Lobos lighthouse

Fuentes was so unsettled by the sight that he went back to get his pistol, oddly not telling any of the other men what was going on. When he went back outside to approach the generator building again, this time he could see that there was an object up there apparently landed on the terrace, escribed as a metallic, copper-colored object shaped like an inverted bowl, standing on some sort of landing gear and with a rotating antenna of some sort on its top. What’s more, in the eerie illumination of the lights there was what looked to be a figure standing beside the object, and a second and third figure were descending from the craft. They seemed to be wearing some sort of dark suits akin to diving suits, their heads appearing somewhat elongated and oversized, and one seemed to be noticeably taller than the others, although Fuentes could not make out a lot of details. He then realized that they had turned towards him and seemed to be very aware that he was there.

At this time, Fuentes was overcome with fear and panic, and raised his pistol to point it up at the craft. It was at this point that he felt a strange sensation throughout his body like a vibration that sent his hair standing up on end, and found that he was unable to move, as if paralyzed, all while a voice boomed through his head that said “Don’t shoot because it is useless.” After this, the strange entities went back up into their ship, seemingly walking up steps of some kind, appearing to be pulling themselves up with handrails, after which the craft closed and began to lift off as its landing legs retracted telescopically. It hovered up in the air momentarily, then silently sped off at breathtaking speed with a flash of bright light like a fireball. At this point, Fuentes ran back to the others and told them what had happened, but no one believed him. Considering he was the superior officer and no one believed him, this came as a shock, but it would seem that at least one of the men, Francisco Cascudo, thought it was odd enough to pass it along to a superior officer.

Not long after their tour at the lighthouse ended, Fuentes was called aside by high-ranking officials, who interviewed him at length on what he had allegedly seen. Fuentes would claim that there were also two men who he believed to be from the U.S. Embassy lurking in the background taking notes, and who were later identified as officers of the “Spatial Affair Service.” Fuentes was also shown various pictures of different UFOs and asked to point out which were most similar to what he had witnessed and then dismissed. At no point was he ever directly questioned by the mysterious Americans, but he could see them excitedly talking to his interrogators in another room, making it obvious they were very interested in his sighting. After this, the case came to the attention of the Uruguayan UFO Investigation Center, who subjected Fuentes to some psychological tests and came to the conclusion that he was a solid witness, described as “sincere, uncomplicated and simple, with no tendency to fabrication or fantasy and lacking an average imagination.” It was also noted that Fuentes had no previous interest in or knowledge of UFOs, and they came to the conclusion that he at least truly believed he had seen what he claimed. Sub-officer Cascudo would back this up, describing Fuentes as a “simple and honest man, incapable of inventing a story of this nature.”

Skeptics of the case have speculated that Fuentes merely saw a helicopter and its occupants, who had panicked and flew off when he had aimed his pistol, but how does this explain the mysterious paralysis or the voice in his head? Also, why would a trained Navy man mistake a helicopter for a UFO, especially since he was painted as an honest man with no propensity towards jumping to far out claims? The case of the Isla de Lobos UFO encounter has never been solved, and we are left to wonder whether this was all tall tales, misidentification, or perhaps a true bizarre phenomenon at work.

On the evening of January 23, 1974, something occurred on the Berwyn Mountain range in North Wales that for some within the UFO researcher community has come to be known (to some…) as the definitive British Roswell. As researcher Andy Roberts stated in his excellent book, UFO Down?: “Running south-west to north-east across central North Wales, the Berwyn Mountains separate the flatlands of Shropshire from the Snowdonia National Park. Rising almost 900 metres above sea level, they have played host and borne silent witness to human occupation for millennia.” Andy elaborated: “Prehistoric man lived and worshipped on the mountains leaving behind him a dramatic, ritual landscape dotted with stone circles, standing stones and other once-sacred megaliths – many of which have stood for over two and a half thousand years. Not surprisingly, the area is rife with stories of ghosts and eerie presences. Folklore tells us that these mountains are haunted by many types of aerial phenomena, including the spectral Hounds of Hell: those who saw them recalled how they flew through the night sky baying as though pursued by Satan himself. To the south of the Berwyn’s at, Llanrhaedr-ym-Mochnant, the locals were plagued by a ‘flying dragon’ – intriguingly, a common name for UFOs in times gone by.”

And as Andy also carefully noted: ““It is against this backdrop of history and myth that on the evening of 23 January 1974 an event took place on the Berwyn Mountains that was to perplex locals and spawned a veritable cascade of rumors, culminating in an incredible claim that, if true, would irrevocably change our view of history and make us revise our plans for the future of both our planet and our species.  The claim was that a UFO piloted by extraterrestrials crashed, or was shot down, on the mountain known as Cader Berwyn and that the alien crew, some still alive, were whisked off to a secret military installation in the south of England for study.” Since then, the issue of what did or did not occur on the Berwyn Mountains on the fateful night in question has been the subject of several books, intense controversy, heated debate and, at times, unbridled fury. That something happened at around 8.30 p.m. on the night in question is not in doubt, however.

“I saw this bright light hanging in the sky,” said Mrs. Anne Williams of Bro Diham, Llandrillo. “It had a long fiery tale which seemed to be motionless for several minutes, going dim and then very brilliant, like a dormant fire which keeps coming to life. It would have been like an electric bulb in shape, except that it seemed to have rough edges. [It] then fell somewhere behind the hills at the back of my bungalow and the earth shook.” That the events caused considerable excitement and concern was something also noted by Police Constable Gwilym Owen, who was off-duty at the time and having a pint of beer in the nearby Dudley Arms public house. He stated shortly afterwards: “There was a great roar and a bang and the glasses shook. The sky was lit up over the mountains. The color was yellowish but other people in the valley described seeing blue lights.” Five miles away, Police Sergeant Gwyn Williams was at home in Corwen: “The walls shook and the mirror swung away from the wall,” he recalled. “My first thought was that a big lorry had hit the cinema – it was that kind of a roar and bang. Everyone ran into the street.”

Berwyn Mountains

At 838 p.m., the Global Seismology Unit of the Institute of Geological Sciences at Edinburgh, Scotland, recorded an earth tremor between 3.5 and 4 on the Richter scale. In response to questions posed by eager journalists, Dr. Roy Lilwall, the Senior Scientific Officer at the Institute, said that he had been told that a meteorite had possibly come down on the mountain and, had it been responsible for the “earthquake” that had been recorded at Edinburgh, it would have to have weighed several hundred tons. Approximately ninety minutes after the events on the Berwyns, Ken Haughton of Betws-y-coed viewed a “luminous sphere,” some 400 feet across and traveling at an approximated height of 15,000 feet. It was Haughton’s opinion that as he watched the sphere, it proceeded to descend into the sea in the area of the town of Rhyl, or possibly in the Dee Estuary.

Andy Roberts added, “Following the explosion, Llandrillo district nurse Pat Evans ran out into the village street. She saw no lights but the explosion and the accounts of other villagers convinced her that something had crashed on the mountains. It took her a while to get through to the police as the ‘phone lines were jammed with 999 calls [Note from the author: the equivalent of the United States’ 911 emergency telephone number], but eventually she spoke to Colwyn Bay Police HQ. They suggested it could have been a ‘plane crash so she bundled her two young daughters into the car and set off up the mountain, intending to offer help until the emergency services arrived.

As Mrs. Evans reached the point where the B4391 mountain road levels out she was puzzled by what appeared to be a large illuminated ball of light on the hillside. Unable to identify it was she drove on for a few minutes before returning to the same spot. The light was still there so she parked and observed it for a while. A light drizzle was falling but the night was otherwise clear and Mrs. Evans was able to describe the ball as ‘large,’ and forming a ‘perfect circle.’ But it didn’t appear to be three-dimensional. In an interview she recalled, ‘There were no flames shooting or anything like that. It was very uniform, round in shape…it was a flat round…’ As she watched in puzzlement the light changed color several times from red to yellow to white. Smaller lights, ‘fairy lights’ in Mrs. Evans’ words, could be seen nearby.  It was too far away to reach on foot and so she returned home to bed.”

On the following day, 24 January, a Royal Air Force mountain rescue team from Anglesey was dispatched to the Berwyn Mountains and, along with personnel from Gwynedd Police, searched the location for any sign of the object or its impact point. In turn, they received assistance in the search from the RAF station at Valley, Anglesey, who flew two aircraft to conduct a detailed photographic survey of the area. Nothing was reportedly found. Adding to the mystery, and on that same day, Men-in-Black-style rumors were rife among the local and close-knit communities, suggesting that the area had been descended upon by shadowy government figures that were intent on interviewing anyone and everyone with knowledge of the incident. And only hours later, an unusual aerial object was seen by David Upton at nearby Gobowen. As he went out of the backdoor of his home at about 7.15 p.m., he was immediately struck by the brightness of an object in the western sky and quickly ran back into the house for a pair of field glasses. To his complete amazement, these revealed a disc-shaped object that seemed to be divided up into four distinct sections, each of which was of a different color – red, green, yellow, and purple. David Upton’s sister, Elizabeth, a twenty-year-old bank clerk, then took over the glasses, followed shortly thereafter by their mother, Mary Upton. Both verified David’s description.

“I had been watching it for about ten minutes and thought perhaps I should tell someone about it,” said Elizabeth Upton. She telephoned the local police, and they said that they would dispatch someone to the area. A minute or so after the call, the UFO disappeared behind a cloud. “We waited for the cloud to pass and when it did the disc had gone too,” she explained, adding: “When I first came out of the house the light from the object was dazzling, like a street lamp. When we looked through the field glasses we could define its overall disc-shape and the four sections.” Two people known to have been involved in the affair were Doctors Ron Maddison and Aneurin Evans of Keele University. Both expressed the theory that a meteorite had been the culprit. However, if the object was a meteorite they said, then it had to have (a) completely disintegrated upon impact; and (b) not left a crater, as Dr. Maddison noted carefully that: “…the only changes we could see were recent disturbances of surface soil in some areas, but we were hampered to some extent by light snowfall.”

Two days later, it was stated in the local press that “police and RAF rescue experts” had come to the conclusion that the strange lights seen throughout the area were due to meteorite activity seen – coincidentally – at the same time that a group of men were out on the mountain range hunting hares with powerful lamps. Any link with the “earthquake” was entirely coincidental. RAF search team leader, Sergeant H. Oldham, said that another search of the area was “unlikely” to occur unless further information surfaced that attributed the lights to another source. Perhaps not surprisingly, the “hare” explanation received short shrift with the local witnesses, as can be seen fin the following extract taken from a letter sent to the Wrexham Leader newspaper: “Regarding your front page article ‘Mystery Tremor’ in the issue of January 25, I find the explanation given absolutely ludicrous. The tremors shook houses over a 60-mile radius, and the lights were seen clearly miles away – this was reported by the national press and radio. I know nothing about ‘Hare hunting’ but unless the hunters use aircraft searchlights and kill their prey by lobbing a small atom bomb at them, then I fail to see how anyone can accept such an explanation.”

So what, exactly, did happen on that fateful night of 23 January 1974? Did the strange lights provide firm evidence that a malfunctioning UFO was hurtling towards its doom on the Berwyn Mountains? And was the so-called “earthquake” evidence that this same UFO had almost immediately thereafter slammed at high speed into the bleak and harsh mountain known as Cader Berwyn? Or, was the entire event the result of a large-scale misconception of a curiously synchronistic combination of a meteorite shower, an earth tremor, and a group of men hunting for hares on the mountain and armed with powerful lamps – all in the same location and at practically the same time? The questions are still being answered to this day.

UFO sightings that could use a second look and a wweb-site that sparkles

Copyright 2021, InterAmerica, Inc. 

In the Flying Saucer segment of this 1952 Fawcett booklet are some UFO accounts that lie dormant. pretty much, among ufology’s members.

I (and Kevin Randle, among others) have covered the 1950 or 1952 Oskar Linke UFO account of a strange craft seen in the Soviet zone of Berlin.

The story is revealed in the last few pages of the Fawcett magazine and at:

• https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/DOC_0000015464.pdf

It’s an interesting, credible report, offered in its time-frame so it’s saved from accretions that tend to accumulate upon early flying saucer reports that UFO “researchers” muck around in.

But two 1948 accounts that are well-known and intriguing are the Mantell UFO chase that killed him and the passenger plane pilots Chiles and Whitted who were skirted by a cigar-shaped craft that whizzed by their airplane, offering a stimulating observation and report.

First, the Mantell chase of a huge UFO over Kentucky has been determined by many ufologists to have been a skyhook balloon that the F-51 pilot mistook for a strange craft that took him beyond an oxygen level not amenable to consciousness causing Captain Mantell to blackout, ultimately losing control of his plane bringing it down into a disintegrated mess.

But reading the Fawcett account, not long after the devastating “accident” raises questions about that scenario, although I thought it reasonable. However, a listing of Mantell’s record and military demeanor undercuts the skyhook possibility, especially since another like-UFO was reported at Lockbourne Air Force Base later that day, traveling at 500 mph.

The observational differences make the sighting somewhat iffy, but do not destroy the credibility of Chiles or Whitted, as witnesses to startling events are prone to see different aspects of what occurred.

In 1977, the FBI declassified its UFO files under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act. It was something that led to close to 2,000 pages of UFO-themed material being placed into the public domain. Since then, even more UFO-connected material has been made available by the FBI for one and all to see – such as files on cattle mutilations, the so-called Conatctees (George Adamski, George Van Tassel and so on), and UFO research groups. One of the first pages of material the FBI released back in 1977 was a letter sent, in the summer of 1947, to the FBI by a scientist. His name: Edwin M. Bailey. He was also a man who had some deep worries about the suddenly growing UFO phenomenon. Probably because of Bailey’s standing, the FBI didn’t waste any time in contacting him for a chat. J. Edgar Hoover’s agents were keen to see what Bailey had to say. After all, this was the dawning of the “Flying Saucer” age and just about everyone was fascinated by what was afoot.

In their papers on Bailey, the FBI stated: “Bailey prefaced his remarks by stating that he is a scientist by occupation and is currently employed at the American Cyanamid Research Laboratories on West Main Street in Stamford, Connecticut, in the Physics Division. Bailey further indicated that during the war he was employed at MIT, Cambridge, Massachusetts, in the Radiation Laboratory which Laboratory is connected with the Manhattan Project. Bailey advised that he is thirty years of age and is a graduate of the University of Arizona.”

Before I continue with the story, here’s a bit of background on Bailey’s employer, American Cyanamid Research Laboratories: “American Cyanamid Company was a leading American conglomerate which became one of the nation’s top 100 manufacturing companies during the 1970s and 1980s, according to the Fortune 500 listings at the time. Founded by Frank Washburn in 1907, the company grew to over 100,000 employees worldwide, and had over 200,000 shareholders by the mid-1970s. Its stock was traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol ACY. It was repeatedly reorganized after the mid-1990s, merged with other firms, and saw brands and divisions sold or spun off. The bulk of the former company is now part of Pfizer, with smaller portions belonging to BASF, Procter & Gamble and other firms.

“Although originally a manufacturer of agricultural chemicals the product line was soon broadened into many different types of industrial chemicals and specialty chemicals. The company then diversified into synthetic fibers, pharmaceuticals, surgical products, plastics, and inorganic pigments before World War II; and later added, by acquisitions, cosmetic and toiletry products, perfumes, building products, home building, and several smaller product categories following World War II.”

The FBI continued and listened carefully to Bailey’s thoughts on the Flying Saucer mystery. In the FBI’s records we’re provided the following on the man and his ideas: “Bailey stated that the topic of ‘flying saucers’ had caused considerable comment and concern to the present day scientists and indicated that he himself had a personal theory concerning the ‘flying saucers.’ Prior to advancing his own theory, Bailey remarked that immediately after the conclusion of World War II, a friend of his, [Deleted], allegedly observed the ‘flying saucers’ from an observatory in Milan and Bologna, Italy. He stated that apparently at the time the ‘flying saucers’ had caused a little comment in Italy but that after some little publicity they immediately died out as public interest. Bailey stated that it is quite possible that actually the ‘flying saucers’ could be radio controlled germ bombs or atom bombs which are circling the orbit of the earth and which could be controlled by radio and directed to land on any designated target at the specific desire of the agency or country operating the bombs.”

Although just about everything Bailey said – and suspected, too – was speculative, the FBI was concerned by the matter of those “germ bombs.” Whether the FBI may have heard of such theories from other people, I don’t know; the files don’t make that clear. That Bailey became of interest to the FBI, though, showed that when the UFO enigma began on June 24, 1947 – the date on which the famous Kenneth Arnold case took place – J. Edgar Hoover’s agents were taking things carefully and quickly. Maybe with a degree of concern, too.

A Rare Nikola Tesla Interview From 1931 About What Extraterrestrial Communication Would Do To Mankind

Declassified CIA Document Claims Carl Jung Accused U.S. Air Force of Covering Up Truth About UFOs

IN BRIEF

• The Facts:

  A document archived by the CIA from 1959 and later declassified claims Carl Jung accused the U.S. Air Force of a UFO coverup. Fast forward to 2021 and we now know that the Air Force and other agencies have surrounded this topic with secrecy.

• Reflect On:

  Can we rely on government agencies and mainstream media for any type of truth on this topic, or will they attempt to manipulate and control our perception of it for other purposes? Is "contact" a citizens initiative?

What Happened: 

Roscoe Hillenkoetter, the very first director of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) once said that “It is time for the truth to be brought out…Behind the scenes, high ranking Air Force officials are soberly concerned about UFOs. But through official secrecy and ridicule, many citizens are led to believe the unknown flying objects are nonsense. I urge immediate Congressional action to reduce the dangers from secrecy about Unidentified Flying Objects

He said this decades ago. Hillenkoetter is also mentioned in this declassified document archived and released by the CIA. This particular document also mentions Carl Jung. It reads as follows:

This is a reply to the letter (Aug. 6) criticizing Dr. Carl Jung for his belief in flying saucers and his charges that the Air Force has been covering up the truth about these objects. I would like to point out that Dr. Jung is not the first person of integrity and reputation who has made such charges. He is merely the latest. Exactly the same charge has been made by Admiral Delmar Fahrney, former director of the naval guided missile research program, and by R.M. Hillenkoetter, former chief of the Central Intelligence Agency. Both of these men would be in a position to know how much the AF investigation of saucers really found.

The piece was written by Fred A. Kirsch, a well known UFO researcher.

So what did they really find? Keep in mind this document is from 1959, it’s now 2021. How much has been discovered and how much has been kept from the public? In his very last interview before his death, Colonel Robert Friend, who from 1958-1962  was a director of Project Blue Book (U.S. Air Force UFO investigation project) suggests the U.S. Air Force knew what these object were. Fast forward to today, and we now have “abundant evidence that we are being contacted, that civilizations have been visiting us for a very long time.”

(Dr. Brian O’Leary, former NASA astronaut and Princeton Physics Professor)

The document goes on:

If Jung were the only responsible person to make such charges, we could brush the whole thing off as nonsense. However, when a number of pilots, radar operators, and other trained observers agree that the UFOs are real, a serious reappraisal of the situation is in order.

Today, UFOs have gone mainstream, and the same information is being emphasized. For example, Christopher Mellon, who was the former Deputy Assistant Defense Secretary for Intelligence from 1997 to 2002, recently made an appearance on CNN stating the  same facts about these objects. Many people have concerns about “mainstream UFO disclosure” given the fact that governments and mainstream media, according to many, have deceived the public on so many occasions. You can read a deeper discussion about that here, if interested.

The same year that this document pertaining to Jung was written, he released his book called  Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies, which examines “not the reality or unreality” of the titular phenomena, but their “psychic aspect,” and “what it may signify that these phenomena, whether real or imagined, are seen in such numbers just at a time” — the Cold War — “when humankind is menaced as never before in history.”

It seems, in my opinion, he was quite convinced of the phenomenon. Especially given the fact that he accused the Air Force of a cover-up. Again, fast forward to today and we now know he was right.

In 1957,  New Republic editor Gilbert A. Harrison wanted to get this Jung’s perspective on UFOs in his magazine. You can see (via The Awl) a scan of Jung’s response to Harrison’s query, the text reads as follows:

The problem of the Ufos is, as you rightly say, a very fascinating one, but it is as puzzling as it is fascinating; since, in spite of all observations I know of, there is no certainty about their very nature. On the other side, there is an overwhelming material pointing to their legendary or mythological aspect. As a matter of fact the psychological aspect is so impressive, that one almost must regret that the Ufos seem to be real after all. I have followed up the literature as much as possible and it looks to me as if something were seen and even confirmed by radar, but nobody knows exactly what is seen. In consideration of the psychological aspect of the phenomenon I have written a booklet about it, which is soon to appear. It is also in the process of being translated into English. Unfortunately being occupied with other tasks I am unable to meet your proposition. Being rather old, I have to economize my energies.

Jung’s approach to UFOs was clearly binary. It would seem, especially given the claims in the CIA document that he believed them to be real, but was uncertain of their very nature and what they actually represented.

At the time, “academics”  were well aware of the UFO phenomenon. Many decades ago Wernher Von Brauns mentor Hermann Oberth, the founding father of rocketry and astronautics, also known as the ‘father of Spaceflight’ stated his belief that “flying saucers are real” and that “they are space ships from another solar system. I think that they possibly are manned by intelligent observers who are members of a race that may have been investigating our Earth for centuries.” He wrote these words in “Flying Saucers Come From A Distant World”, The American  Weekly, Oct 24, 1954.

It’s hard to believe that for all these years, despite the fact that evidence clearly suggested otherwise, that UFOs were thrown into the “conspiracy theory” bucket and one was made out to be a lunatic for even mentioning the possibility that they were real and possibly extraterrestrial. Today, it’s a much different story, but there is still a lot to uncover.

The Takeaway: 

Collective Evolution has written about the UFO phenomenon in depth since our inception in 2009. We’ve covered countless stories and revelations regarding the phenomenon. If you’d like to sift through our UFO/extraterrestrial article archive (from most recent to last) to learn more about the phenomenon you can do so HERE.

You can also find some good stuff on CETV, a platform created to help combat the censorship and demonetization we’ve experienced here at Collective Evolution for quite some time now. It’s how we are able to continue, and are attempting to continue doing what we do.

I’ve said it many times before and I’ll say it again, the the UFO topic leaves no aspect of humanity untouched. It’s truly a catalyst, as are many other things, to expand human consciousness and really ask deeper questions about the nature of our reality and what we think we know about it. Ultimately I believe the phenomenon will force us to ask more questions about ourselves, where we come from, why we are here and most importantly, why we live and act the way we do here on planet Earth.

I encourage you to listen to our latest podcast on the topic for a deeper discussion.

Debunking misinformation: FLIR1 (UAP) is really a jet

When it comes to the highly complex issue of UFOs (UAPs), the debunking of misinformation is critically important. Most notably, it becomes imperative to ensure that ‘Unidentified’ objects don’t get labeled as ‘extraterrestrial’. This is misinformation, mainly due to the fact that it is not supported by facts or solid evidence. Only an established government task force or DOD program that has access to radar data and/or certain materials should ever have the authority to determine such an extreme classification.

And this works both ways. We should not label various UAP military encounters as planes, balloons, drones or birds without official classification of an appropriate government investigation body.  Unfortunately, that is exactly what is happening. Established debunker and sceptic Mick West has taken to trying to explain away the Gimble, Go Fast and FLIR1 videos as planes, balloons, drones or birds. Most recently Mick tries to imply that the FLIR1 object captured by Lt. Chad Underwood was a fighter plane without clarifying the alternatives as to why it might not be a plane, or without clarifying that the official DOD classification itself was ‘Unidentified’ and not a plane.

For anyone who has worked in academia or research, they would know that when you propose a hypothesis you must work to disprove it as much as you are looking to prove it. Science doesn’t care what the end result is, it cares about using an appropriate assessment methodology, accounting for all the factors, not just the ones which build your own narrative to reach the final conclusion.

Mick West isn’t doing that. That’s not a criticism against him as a person, but his methodology is highly flawed. There are critical issues within his approach across all three UAP videos, from Go Fast, to Gimble to FLIR1, all of which arguably stem from researcher bias. Then we have the issue of ‘disassociating data’. In order to fully understand the mindset we need to think like Mick.

Let’s work backwards from the assumption FLIR1 is a plane. I ask myself, how could I do it?

Ok. We know it’s a simple case of misidentified plane, so let’s work to see HOW we can prove it’s a plane. Firstly, we need to set about separating the Chad Underwood video from the eye witness accounts of Cmdr. David Fravor, James Slaight and Anon female wing pilot. Through doing we can eliminate the tricky issue of having to deal with a lot of well meaning, but confused pilots. Also, by doing this we reduce the chances that the ‘hyper acceleration’ of the plane was anything unusual and in fact just a locking glitch issue.

It’s important at this point that we ignore the relevance of missing radar data, because surely that radar data would track the planes final destination or origin as it engaged highly sensitive military airspace.

Another issue to overcome, planes don’t evade the most sophisticated, billion dollar defense strike groups that includes fighter jets and a AN/SPY1 tracking system that reaches over 300km (186 miles), particularly when they have entered into military airspace. So we have to imply and work on the assumption that the plane was misidentified by the military and somehow they weren’t able to identify it as a plane.

Another problem I face is that somehow I have to convince people that the nuclear strike group Nimitz and multiple Navy Pilot’s have never encountered another plane or captured one on FLIR gun camera footage prior to that moment. Simply put, I won’t mention it.

Also, it important to ignore other additional data such as other navy pilots such as Lieutenant Colonel “Cheeks” Kurth, a Marine Hornet squadron commanding officer who intercepted the Tic-Tac.

With this in mind, it is also important that we not mention missing testimony of three additional airmen/pilots on Chad Underwood’s encounter (2 fighter jets, 4 people). It’s also imperative that we don’t make a point of not requesting the data be forthcoming. What would be the point, we know it’s a plane, we’ve established it’s a plane and any incoming data might only serve to damage that established fact.

At this point, we should move forward on a two pronged approach. Firstly, we create multiple video that have scientific merit in their own right, but have little relation the real world incident. Secondly, we repeat the claim over and over, without ever conceding, which acts as a psychological stimulus under an ‘illusion of truth’ approach.

That’s how I would have ensured FLIR1 object was presented as a plane. Obviously, as you can see, there are multiple critical flaws in my approach. Overall, I am ignoring the overall, holistic picture with regard to FLIR1 + Tic-Tac, and the entire initiative.

The U.S. Government (The Senate Armed Forces Committee and the Select Senate Committee for Intelligence) created a UAP Task Force to investigate objects such as the ones reported on record in classified congressional briefings. These same Navy pilots involved have been in front of congress.

“In regards to the Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Task Force mentioned in Times, Gough confirms the Department of Defense “is creating a task force to gain knowledge and insight into the nature and origins of UAPs,” as well as their “operations, capabilities, performance, and/or signatures.

The mission, Gough says, “will be to detect, analyze, catalog, consolidate, and exploit non-traditional aerospace vehicles/UAPs posing an operational threat to U.S. national security and avoid strategic surprise.”

– Susan Gough, Popular Mechanics, 25/07/2020

The acknowledgement from the SSCI that there is an unidentified phenomenon engaging the military is a massive issue for Mick West. Generally, a UAP task force isn’t created on the misidentification of planes, balloons or birds. Given the advanced billion dollar technology of the Department of Defense it is highly unlikely that such identification systems could fail so badly to the point misinformation reached congress and then they act on that data.

‘The SPY-1 can maintain continuous radar surveillance while automatically tracking more than 100 targets at one time. Public numerical figures on the SPY-1 detection range claim that it can detect a golf ball-sized target at ranges in excess of 165 km. When applied to a ballistic missile-sized target, the SPY-1 radar is estimated to have a range of 310 km. The system is designed for blue water and littoral operations however SPY-1 configuration must be modified to look above the terrain to avoid causing excessive false targets from land clutter. Configuration changes to mitigate this technical issue have made it more difficult for AN/SPY-1 to identify and track low and fast targets.‘

– AN/SPY-1 Radar, Missile Defense 

And finally, with regards to FLIR1, the DOD gave the object a classification of ‘Unidentified’.

‘DOD is releasing the videos in order to clear up any misconceptions by the public on whether or not the footage that has been circulating was real, or whether or not there is more to the videos. The aerial phenomena observed in the videos remain characterized as “unidentified.”’

– Department of Defense Release, 27/04/2020

That means that the incursions and the objects in the three videos have (as you would might expect) been thoroughly analysed to reach a classification of Unidentified.

Consider this, the great work by Roger Glassel (see below the full transcript from BlurryLines), he gets a response form the pentagon on UAP classification.

There are some very interesting questions and answers, but, no more so than the very last question 7.

7) Q: If an observer initially characterize an observation as unidentified 
aerial phenomena, that he or she cannot 
immediately identify, and the 
observation cannot later be explained 
after an analysis by the UAPTF, or any 
other component, what will such 
observation be categorized as?

A: ‘Unidentified’

- Glassel, R., 02/09/2020

That means that to reach the classification of ‘Unidentified’, a thorough assessment by DOD is performed.
So in summary, and in the case of FLIR1, for it to be a plane it means that the United States government is unable to identify a plane as it enters the secure airspace of a nuclear strike group. This is misinformation and needs to be stamped out in all forms, whether it be claims of extraterrestrials or planes, we simply don’t have the data to conclude.

• Here is the answer: say ‘I don’t know, we need more data from the government’

Dr Steven Greer: This Is How We Stage UFO & Alien False Flag Events

Dr. Steven Greer reveals startling information about the government briefing on UFOs and the control of information. Secret government programs on UFO technology is now being passed out to defence contractors. Thousands of people have been already briefed on the subject of extraterrestrials and their craft but can never talk about it, but slowly the truths are being leaked to the general public. The biggest global change has to take place.

Steven Greer reveals the technology and tactics used to create events that appear to be aliens or UFOs but are highly sophisticated false-flag events. This can include staging scenarios that appear to be UFO crash landings, alien abductions, strange implants or psychic attacks.

UFO Crash In Sverdlovsk, Russia 1969, Secret KGB UFO Files, UFO Sighting News.

Date of discovery: 1969
Location of discovery: Sverdlovsk, Russia

I first learned about this crash about 10-13 years ago. I posted the raw film footage onto my channel, but decided to repost it today to remind people of the incident. If we refuse to learn from this kind of evidence, then...there is no point moving forward at all. Because this is real, 100% fact. 

 

The details of a Russian Crash on or about 1969 are few, because of the high level of secrecy of its subject.  This case comes from the "Secret KGB Files," which were reportedly smuggled out of the former Soviet Union. Reportedly, $10,000 was paid for the information. The details of these secret files were first offered to the general public on 9-13-98 as part of a TNT special titled "The Secret UFO Files of the KGB." The show featured extraordinary film and still photographs of the UFO recovery, and also a portion of autopsy film on part of an alien body. 

The event itself, according to the KGB files, occurred in the state of Sverdlovsky, which was formerly Yekatrinburg of the USSR. The crash story follows a familiar pattern normally associated with this type of report. The fiery crash of an unknown object occurred in March 1969. The site was secured by the Russian military, and one dead alien was found in the wreckage. The remains of the craft and alien were brought to a secure location, and the alien body was autopsied. Both still and moving pictures were taken of the craft, its retrieval, and the alien autopsy. The autopsy shows only an alien torso and arm. From the size of the body parts, the alien would have been an extremely small being.

 

The footage at the crash site is 100% authentic at least on several points. The truck in the film is a circa 1950 model ZIS151, which has not been used by the military for quite some time, and the truck would have been difficult to find to stage a hoax with. Other elements of the film do not exhibit any obvious signs of a hoax, as to the movement of the soldiers, the timing of the film as to shadows, and the UFO itself.

Most scientists think the first interstellar visitor to our solar system has a natural explanation. Harvard professor Avi Loeb makes the case for an alien origin.

 By Becky Ferreira

In October 2017, scientists spotted an interstellar object in our solar system for the first time in history. Named ‘Oumuamua after the Hawaiian word for “scout,” the bizarre visitor was detected as it passed by Earth on a rapid trajectory that was consistent with an origin outside our own solar neighborhood.

The discovery of ‘Oumuamua was an immensely exciting milestone, though it was traveling so quickly that observatories were only able to keep their sights on it for a few brief weeks before the object exited the solar system. Those observations revealed that this interstellar interloper had many odd characteristics, such as extreme dimensions and unexpected brightness. 

Most scientists think ‘Oumuamua was a space rock from another star system, albeit a rather weird one, but Harvard professor Avi Loeb has proposed that the object could have an artificial origin. In his new book Extraterrestrial: The First Sign of Intelligent Life Beyond Earth, Loeb makes his case that the object could be an alien artifact.

“We don’t really know because we don’t have enough evidence,” Loeb said in a VICE News interview, regarding the exact nature of ‘Oumuamua. However, he speculated that the object could be a piece of “space trash” or a spacecraft not unlike the probes that humans have sent, or are sending, into interstellar space, such as NASA’s Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and New Horizons missions. 

Loeb is an outlier in this opinion; the vast majority of the scientific community thinks ‘Oumuamua has a natural origin. Some have proposed that the object could be a splinter of a distant planet, a hunk of frozen hydrogen, or a dusty cloud of debris. The uncertainty over its nature stems from the short observational period that was available to study it, which has left scientists of all persuasions with many more questions than answers.

Fortunately, ‘Oumuamua will not be the last interstellar object to grace our solar system. An interstellar comet named 21/Borisov was discovered in 2019, and next-generation observatories are expected to spot many more of these outsiders, which will help to provide context for all of the mysteries that ‘Oumuamua left in its wake.

“The key to doing science is to get as much evidence as possible because it can guide you,” Loeb said. “Sometimes nature’s imagination is greater than ours.”
