In the world of psychics, Nostradamus is a tough comparison to live up to, but Athos Salomé seems ready for the challenge. The Brazilian psychic and paranormal investigator has also been compared to Baba Vanga, and some go so far as to suggest he’s a direct descendant of Nostradamus. Is he any of these or just another spoon-bender with a good publicist?

On the 2803/2021th at 21:18 pm I left it registered via email encoded with password 2 PDF / Word files for two people I have confidence in, information about new events, in the same report about the new variant and that it was to pay attention guess where? Africa”

On his Facebook page, Athos Salomé gives two of his predictions which came true this year as proof he’s a real psychic – he even adds a flair of drama by recording the predictions beforehand. Not much is known about him. MarketWatch reports he’s a self-taught psychic and a parapsychologist, but he’s also known for his work as a model scouter helping people start modeling careers and as producer of the “Beleza Mundial Contest,” the “Look of The Year” and “Mister Earth Brazil” he’s obviously dedicated to modeling, so how did Athos Salomé become known as the next Nostradamus?

“Athos is recognized for constantly employing historical research in his paranormal investigations to give step-by-step recommendations on a specific paranormal analysis; he comprehended the significance and the usage of paranormal analysis using his expertise in KABALLA. He is well-known for conducting paranormal studies into unexplainable parts of human experience.”

Sypstudios.com recently pursued the question and found that Athos has predicted also claimed to have predicted terrorism outbreaks, China’s rise as the world’s most powerful economic power, vaccines are becoming obsolete, the virus becoming incurable, a phony peace deal involving China, the advancement of robotics technology, and signs of a third world war. These are pretty general, but he also predicted the death of another member of the English Royal Court besides Prince Philip and he still has a few days left — Queen Elizabeth II has been ill recently.

That doesn’t seem like enough evidence to warrant comparisons to Nostradamus and Baba Vanga, let alone implying he is a direct descendent of Nostradamus. One account says Salomé prefers to compare himself to a 90-year-old “witch and Parapsychologist Marripe Faul Abeilice (RAMA 4)” who is claimed to be “very known and respectful worldwide” but doesn’t seem to come up in any searches.

What should we make of Athos Salomé? He seems to be a good-looking guy (photo here), the kind you find in the modeling business more than in the psychic trade. He doesn’t seem to have any predictions for 2022 – does he have them sealed in an envelope that he mailed to someone else? That’s more of a trick of the spoon-bending kind, which a legitimate psychic would not want to be associated with.

Let’s see some more recent and accurate predictions from Athos Salomé before we link him to Nostradamus, Vanga or possibly Geller.

A couple of weeks ago I wrote an article on why it is so difficult to solve the Roswell affair of July 1947. I pointed out that in all likelihood Roswell was covered by what is known as a Special Access Program. An SAP would be the ideal operation to keep the Roswell mystery hidden. And, potentially, forever. Does that mean we are never going to solve the puzzle? No. It just means we have to come up with even more alternative ways to get the answers. Could that be done? Well, yes, to some degree. For example, as you’ll see, I know the names of some very obscure military people (and government people, too) who were out at the crash site on the Foster Ranch, Lincoln County, New Mexico when the crash occurred, and whose names have seldom been discussed or investigated. They are in this article. So, my approach – if we can’t access the material in the SAP – is that we should go after just about every single military document that is relative to anyone and everyone who we know, for sure, was at the site and saw what it was that we want to know. It’s not an impossibility. Going through every bit of their military documentation might prove to be daunting – and it may annoy, or even anger, the families of those who were on-site back in 1947. But, the important thing is that a really big, widespread research project on the part of the UFO research community is not impossible. With that said, now onto some of those who went to their graves knowing the truth of Roswell and whose military files just might give us at least something; even if it’s just a finger-point in a certain direction or two. And, then, we need to dig deeper than we ever have before.

My first trip to the area where everything went down

Around twenty years ago, I began working full-time – for about five years – for Ryan Wood doing a lot of research to try and solve various aspects of the UFO phenomenon in 1947 – and not just Roswell, but other UFO events in that era too. And also claims of dead aliens and so on. This project led me to undertake a number of trips to the National Archives, Maryland that, collectively, covered a period of around two or three weeks, 9 to 5. In doing the work I came across several interesting figures. One was a man named Frederick Hauser, a military doctor at the time of the Roswell affair. Hauser knew of Roswell. Another one who knew a great deal – and who may have seen the bodies – was a man named Conrad Zerbe. He certainly saw a great deal of photographic material of an “interesting” type. Much of the research that led to names like the ones you’ll see in the next paragraph came about due to National Archives-based research. Not just by phoning family members. I also know, as a result of all this research, that at one point – in the very early 1980s –  the U.S. Air Force approached Zerbe to try and help them figure out what really happened at Roswell – because the Air Force of the 1980s didn’t know…but they most assuredly wanted to know. That’s right: even the U.S. Air Force of the 1980s was out the loop of Roswell.

From outside to inside

Zerbe was a deeply worried man. Particularly so when he got at least several visits from Air Force Intelligence across a period of three weeks. And, he finally clammed up; filled with fear. That’s not quite the end of it though: I have heard fascinating rumors that Zerbe – who was definitely at the crash site – took certain photos with him and did not hand them over to those in the military who were running the containment of the ranch in the hours and days after the crash. Zerbe’s link to the Roswell saga revolves around the matter of a certain, large number of photographs taken out at the crash site of the whatever-it-was that came down on the ranch in the summer of ’47. A Roland Cliff, a military man named Loomis, a civilian in the program named Bohanon, and an Ed Guill, were in the know, when it came to (A) the matter of what happened and (B) who knew what the photos really showed. Should we go after the photos? Of course, we should! But, of equal importance, for example, we should follow some of the more obscure files of 1947 that are available at the National Archives. There are some fascinating ones. And, I’ll share one example with you.

On my very first trip to the National Archives in 2001 I found a fascinating, but brief, document that reads as follows, and prepared by a Mr. Roddy: “Investigation of the unknown missile which landed near Guadeloupe on 12 October 1947 has failed, so far, to identify it as a V-2, GAPA or other type of guided missile. Careful check by USAF, Ordnance, and Navy indicates that no missiles were fired from Alamogordo Special Range or White Sands Proving Ground on 12 October 1947. Army Ground Forces has eliminated possibility of an anti-aircraft target having gone astray. Negotiations with the Mexican Government for the Long Range Proving Ground for guided missiles, which have been started through the State Department, may be jeopardized if Mexico is dissatisfied with the investigation. It is understood that newspaper statements that fragments of a V-2 have been identified are disturbing the Mexican Government.”

(Nick Redfern)

Driving by the White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico

Now, from the available material above, I don’t think – at all – this story tells of a crashed alien spacecraft. I’m absolutely sure that what was found was a missile. But, whose missile? A German V-2 from the very seedy Paperclip program? From the document it didn’t seem that’s what it was. I don’t know what it was. Neither did the U.S. military: the document specifically calls the finding an “unknown missile.” That document was not found in any early UFO files. I found it while searching around a couple of hefty files concerning 1947-era activity on what, back then, was called the White Sands Proving Ground. On so many occasions I found UFO-themed documents in the National Archives that weren’t in any the old Project Sign or Project Grudge files, but that were deep in files from White Sands. What this all means is that we need to take the approach that was taken when I spent around five years going all across the U.S. chasing down people, places and documents. Keep pushing – and do so for years, if needed. Take alternative ways. Look into files that, at first glance, might seem to be irrelevant, but that may send us to the next part of the story. Of course, not everyone has the funding to run a nationwide Roswell research program for five years. But, that might be exactly what is needed. And, it just might solve the enigma of what really came down in New Mexico in July 1947. It worked for five years. It can work again. It might find the answers.

The year 2019 seems so long ago for most of us, but it probably seems like only yesterday for the US Navy after newly released documents show that the mysterious drones which harassed numerous Navy ships off the coast of Los Angeles in 2019 were far more prevalent that first thought … and the Pentagon still does not have an ‘official’ explanation for these unidentified aerial vehicles (UAVs). Are these more Tic Tac UFOs, Tic Tac decoys, enemy drones, secret U.S. drones or something else?

Something else?

(Not one of the mysterious drones)

Before we look at the latest revelations, let’s review how the Navy got to this point. The bulk of the data comes from The War Zone/The Drive, the military news website which has been tracking, requesting and revealing internal documents on mysterious drones following multiple Navy ships on maneuvers. It first revealed in March 2021 that the USS Kidd, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer, encountered a UAP near San Clemente Island on July 14, 2019, and deployed a “SNOOPIE (Ship Nautical Or Otherwise Photographic Interpretation and Exploitation)” team to investigate. The War Zone found that other ships also encountered the UAPs on July 15 and 16 — the USS Russell, USS John Finn, the USS Paul Hamilton and the USS Rafael Peralta, which activated its own SNOOPIE team and reported a “white light identified hovering over” the ship’s flight deck for around 90 minutes. Logs of the other ships also reported sightings. The War Zone requested more information on the two-day encounter … and waited. This week, it finally received additional documents and they contained shocking new revelations.

“Newly released documents obtained via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) show that the full scope of these drone incursions was greater than it initially appeared, and they persisted well after the Navy’s investigation was launched. Deck logs indicate that drone sightings continued throughout the month of July 2019 and included events where drone countermeasure teams were called into action. One notable event involved at least three ships observing multiple drones. Uncharacteristically for unclassified deck logs, the details on this event are almost entirely redacted.”

The logs show the USS Russell had encounters with the drones on July 17th and 20th. The USS Russell crew took anti-drone countermeasures that appeared to be unsuccessful – The War Zones explains that highly-directional radiofrequency jammers are designed to disrupt communications between drones and their operators, but are not effective against autonomous drones. The document also show that the Russell fired a 5-inch naval deck gun as a UAS (unmanned aerial system) countermeasure, but notes that these guns are not designed to hit targets that are small and slow-moving like these mysterious drones. Finally, they report that “ghostbusters” — lower-end counter UAS devices that look similar to rifles – were fired. The War Zone points out that “ghostbusters” is a new term.

The logs show that at least three ships reported multiple drones following them and adjusting their speed and position whenever a ship would make an evasive maneuver. The ships also enforced enhanced “emissions control,” or EMCON, protocols designed to minimize their electronic profile.

Whose drones are they?

(Not one of the mysterious drones)

Another engagement between the USS Russell and the mysterious drones took place on July 30th, 2019. A SNOOPIE team was activated, “ghostbusters” were used and a SCAT (Small Craft Action Team) was launched – these are machine gun operators that provide 360-degree coverage of the ship and are usually used in response to a small boat attack or low, slow flyers. The logs show that the nearby USS Bunker Hill made the same maneuvers. Perhaps the most interesting revelation is that unlike previous ones, the new documents were heavily redacted.

These new documents tell us that mysterious drones are a bigger problem for the US Navy (and the rest of the US military) than first thought. They tell us that counter-responses – including weapons – have been deployed with little success. They tell us that the Pentagon is probably hiding more information about them. What they DON’T tell us is what these drones are and who – or what – they belong to.

Kudos as always to the reporters at The War Zone and The Drive for their fine work.

Excerpt from the log of the USS Russell

As someone who has written extensively on the mysterious issue of the Men in Black, I’m often asked something along the lines of “What are the different types of M.I.B.?” Well, that’s a very good question. Specifically because there isn’t just one sort of Man in Black. There’s not even just two. In fact, there are several, as strange as it might sound. We’ll begin with the image that most people have: stern-faced characters – very often wearing fedora hats – and looking like they stepped out of a top secret, government facility. In other words, they aren’t the kinds you would want to cross paths with, but there’s nothing strange or odd about them. We can’t say that for all of the Men in Black, though. As we’ll see soon. Another type, that also comes across totally normal are the “Military Men in Black.” By that, I mean characters who wear military uniforms – and as a means to get into peoples’ homes and question them about their UFO encounters. Such was the extent to which this type of Man in Black was prevalent in the 1960s, the U.S. military circulated an official document warning its personnel to keep a look out for these mysterious, uniformed figures. For example, here’s one of several documents that was circulated:

On March 1, 1967, Lieutenant General Hewitt T. Wheless, USAF, penned the following memo. It was widely circulated within the military: “Information, not verifiable, has reached Hq USAF that persons claiming to represent the Air Force or other Defense establishments have contacted citizens who have sighted unidentified flying objects. In one reported case, an individual in civilian clothes, who represented himself as a member of NORAD, demanded and received photos belonging to a private citizen.” The document continues: “In another, a person in an Air Force uniform approached [italics mine] local police and other citizens who had sighted a UFO, assembled them in a school room and told them that they did not see what they thought they saw and that they should not talk to anyone about the sighting. All military and civilian personnel and particularly information officers and UFO investigating officers who hear of such reports should immediately notify their local OSI [Office of Special Investigations] offices.”

John Keel said of these uniformed men, in The Mothman Prophecies: “Mysterious men dressed in Air Force uniforms or bearing impressive credentials from government agencies have been silencing UFO witnesses. We have checked a number of these cases, and these men are not connected to the Air Force in any way. We haven’t been able to find out anything about these men. By posing as Air Force officers and government agents, they are committing a Federal offense. We would sure like to catch one – unfortunately the trail is always too cold by the time we hear about these cases, but we are still trying.” Moving on, there are the “robot”-like M.I.B. No, I’m not joking. Some Men in Black act and even look like robots. Their skin looks like plastic, and they have a jerky walk.

(Nick Redfern)

Robots in Black?!

Gareth J. Medway has an excellent list of Men in Black encounters that began a long, long time ago and that continued up to the 2000s. Of these robotic M.I.B., Gareth gives us these words: “1967, 9 January: The Christiansen family of Wildwood, New Jersey, who had seen a UFO on 22 November 1966, were interviewed by ‘the strangest looking man I’ve ever seen’, wearing a thin black coat, who introduced himself as ‘Tiny’ from the ‘Missing Heirs Bureau.’ He spoke in a high, ‘tinny’ voice, in clipped words and phrases like a computer, “as if he were reciting everything from memory.” His black trousers were too short, and ‘they could see a long thick green wire attached to the inside of his leg, it came up out of his socks and disappeared under his trousers.’ John Keel commented that he had not heard of this feature in other MIB cases: ‘Was Tiny wearing electric socks? Or was he a wired android operated by remote control?’ He departed in a black 1963 Cadillac. Sanderson, Uninvited Visitors, pp.160-61; Keel, Visitors from Space, pp.85-89.”

We now come to the creepiest Men in Black of all. They look far less like government agents and far more like the M.I.B. of the 1998 movie, Dark City. In fact, I would say the Men in Black of the movie are almost identical to those in the real world. Not only that, they have the ability to hypnotize people, to make them sick, to cause poltergeist activity in the home of the targeted person, and sometimes to vanish at almost impossible speeds. The big question is: are all of these Men in Black interconnected? My view is a big “No.” That, of course, makes the M.I.B. enigma even more complicating! Now, with the various Men in Black addressed, in the next article I’ll do likewise with the Women in Black.

It may seem strange, but, in the 1960s, British military intelligence was secretly opening files on those citizens of the U.K. who were suspected of being alien abductees. This was, I should stress, post-Betty and Barney Hill. We have to focus on the intriguingly weird story of a young woman named Diane Foulkes. The year was 1966, the month was November. It was a month in which NASA’s Lunar Orbiter 2 was launched, John Lennon met Yoko Ono for the first time, and Ronald Reagan was elected Governor of California. Those historic events all paled against what Diane Foulkes had to endure: a close encounter with a strange craft in the sky and a period of missing time. As the U.K.’s Freedom of Information Act has shown, it was the Royal Air Force’s Provost and Security Services who secretly oversaw the investigation into Diane’s trauma-dominated experiences. We would almost certainly be completely oblivious to the facts of the affair, today, were it not for one significant thing: Diane Foulkes’s family decided to contact the military – in an effort to try and understand the nature of her experiences. At the time, twenty-two-year-old Diane – a typist working at a local company – was living with her parents in the old English town of Shrewsbury, in the county of Shropshire. It’s a town which was founded way back in the 9^th century and its ancient architecture would not at all look out of place on the likes of Downton Abbey – nor would its surrounding green fields and hills, little old villages, and expansive woods.

Files and Files – and More Files

As for Diane’s encounter with something definitively unknown, it occurred on the night of November 8, 1966. Although, she kept silent about what had happened for two days; finally confiding in her mother and father on the 10^th and revealing all. So shocked were Diane’s parents by what she had to say, her mother promptly contacted the local military base, Royal Air Force Shawbury, which was constructed in the latter stages of the First World War and that, today, is a training facility for military helicopter pilots. She spoke to a Flight Lieutenant Williams, who took a few notes and promised to pass the data onto the right people. We will soon learn who they were. We’ll likely never know what was going through the mind of Diane’s mother when she made that call to RAF Shawbury, but one can imagine it would not have been the easiest of things to do. After all, she was about to share the details of her daughter’s encounter with what may well have been a spacecraft constructed on another world. If Diane had worries about what the authorities might say, she had no need to. It’s most intriguing to note that the military took her story very seriously. To the extent that, four days later, a three-man team arrived at the Foulkes’ home. Questions were about to be asked and a secret file was about to be created.

It was around 7:00 p.m. when the knock on the door – that Diane Foulkes may have been dreading or looking forward to – finally came. Diane herself opened it and was confronted by three men dressed in plainclothes. The man who knocked on the door identified himself as Corporal Robert A. Rickwood, of the Royal Air Force. Notably, Corporal Rickwood carefully avoided adding that he also happened to be attached to the P&SS’ Special Investigation Section, the SIS, which undertook investigations of events with national security implications attached to them. Diane invited the three men into the living-room. They sat down, while her parents hovered awkwardly in the background. In typical English fashion, cups of tea were made for everyone and the interview began. Corporal Rickwood, perhaps aware that Diane was somewhat nervous, simply asked her to relate the facts, and added that he was here to help and try and figure out what it was that she had seen just a few nights earlier. Diane took a deep breath and began. She had been out for an evening with friends and, with midnight barely five minutes away, she was approaching the little village of Great Ness, which even today has a population of less than one thousand. Then, something weird happened, something totally unforeseen: Diane had an encounter of the UFO type.

(Nick Redfern)

When government personnel come calling about UFOs

Then, before she continued with her story, things became even more notable. As a quick aside, Diane said that this was not her first encounter of this particular type. She had had another close encounter – late at night, and in the same area – two years earlier. This was, of course, a surprise to Corporal Rickwood’s team. As a result, he suggested that Diane go back to the beginning, to ensure that they had all of the data in-hand and in chronological order. An incredible tale was about to be unfold. Corporal Rickwood’s now-declassified report states, in part: “The first occurred two years ago in November 1964, when she had been driving from Shrewsbury to her home along the A5 road. This was at about 0200 hours as she neared the Montford Bridge over the River Severn. Approximately midway between Shrewsbury and Great Ness a brightly lit circular object appeared in the sky above her car. She had been frightened and had accelerated along the road. The object had kept pace with her remaining at the same height until she arrived home. She had told her mother and father who also watched the object. She described the object as an especially bright light in the sky which remained stationary due west from their home for about half an hour. It had then rapidly diminished in size and they assumed it had accelerated away from them. No sound was heard from the object. The light was yellow in color and became red as it diminished.” That’s just a portion of the Provost and Security Services’ files.

As fascinating as all of this certainly is, it was yet another aside from Diane that had the P&SS guys sitting up and really taking notice. According to Diane, there was a lapse in time: although it was around 2:00 a.m. when she reached the Montford Bridge, it should actually have been much closer to 1:00 a.m. Hmm…

Have you seen the photograph of what looks like a flying saucer that skidded across the surface of Mars before embedding itself in a pile of dirt? You haven’t? Take a look at it here while we point out that it has been making the rounds for the past few days under headlines like “Pretty Convincing Footage Of A UFO Crash On Mars,” “Mars orbiter image shows a crashed flying saucer…. or something else entirely” and “Could this be a Crashed Disc-Shaped Object Spotted Near Ceti Mensa on Mars?” That last one is from the YouTube video of Jean Ward, a system administrator and website developer whose hobbies include “Mars anomaly hunting.” It’s that hobby that gave him a bit of notoriety on the Internet when he posted his analysis of a photo taken in 2006 by NASA’s Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter.

The original photo –  can you find the crashed flying saucer?

“This image shows spectacular layers exposed on the bottom of Candor Chasma, a large canyon in the Valles Marineris system.”

That’s the official NASA description of the photo taken by the HiRISE (High Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera on the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter on December 29, 2006. (You can see many versions of it here, including one with an arrow pointing to the “saucer” location.)

Here is a cropped and compressed blow-up of the alleged anomaly.

Here is a cropped and compressed blow-up of the alleged anomaly.

Here is a cropped and compressed version of the entire image, with an arrow pointing to where the anomaly is, so you can find it easier.

NASA called it the “Swirls of Rock in Candor Chasma” because of the intricate swirls of sand- and dust-sized particles approximately 4 kilometers below the rim of one of the largest canyons on Mars. That was impressive enough for NASA, but Jean Ward is one of those people with time, interest and magnifying software, and when he started digitally digging into the swirls of Candor Chasma, he found something he believes resembles a crashed flying saucer.

“The anomaly looks like a disc-shaped object which hit the surface of Mars at a very low angle and left a trench behind it. The disc-shaped object measures approximately 12 to 15 metres in diameter.”

“Alternatives: Could this possibly be a ramp leading into an underground entrance or is this an incomplete Project Ice-Worm structure? Or are we seeing a strange arc-shaped dune?”

Ward is kind enough to link to the HiRiSE site and provides instructions on seeing the original photo. He also provides his speculations on what it might be. While the Internet obviously likes the crashed flying saucer explanation, he also suggests it could be a designed structure – a ramp or part of tunnel for moving around nuclear weapons – that’s what the U.S. Army’s Project Iceworm was in Greenland in the early 1960s during the height of the Cold War.

“As always, until we get to see these anomalies up close and personal, I can only speculate as to what these objects might be.”

Swirls of Rock in Candor Chasma

Or … it could be an unusual dune. As always, anomalies are in the eye of the beholder, and if the beholder is a pareidoliac – one who sees faces in tortillas or on the surface of Mars – then it’s easy to see a crashed flying saucer. Most of us have a touch of pareidolia and a bit of wishful thinking, which explains why this ‘flying saucer’ photo won’t go away soon. Ward doesn’t say how close the Candor Chasma is to the Perseverance rover and its Ingenuity helicopter, but that would be an excellent road trip for the little chopper that could … and is still flying. After all, the Chinese space program is sending its lunar rover to inspect what appears to be a hut on the Moon.

The betting money right now is on a natural anomaly, but the really long odds are on whether NASA takes up the challenge and gets “up close and personal” to it. You’re probably better off buying a lottery ticket.

Having discussed the matter of the Bigfoot-UFO issue – and of the Loch Ness-UFO angle, too – I thought it would be a good idea to share with you the data that suggests a UFO connection to another monster: the creepy Dog-Man. Yes, really! Before I get to the strange link, however, here’s some background on the matter the beast. Certainly, wolf-like, upright creatures have been described for centuries. I am , of course, talking about werewolves. However, the relatively recent phenomenon of the Dog-Man takes things to another, much more intriguing, angle. Linda Godfrey is the key figure in this controversy and she has written a number of books on the phenomenon. But, there’s more than that. There’s one particular Dog-Man-themed story that needs to be aired, as it has an alien angle to it. Believe it or not. While there are numerous theories for what the Dogmen are (demonic entities, shape-shifters, a rare/unique kind of wolf; the list goes on) the strangest of all the theories is that which suggests the creatures are extraterrestrials. Yes, you did read that right. In 2005, Linda Godfrey was contacted by a man – a military whistle-blower, we might say – who was an expert in the field of remote-viewing. According to Godfrey’s Edward Snowden-like source, the U.S. Government has uncovered data suggesting that the Dogmen are a very ancient, extraterrestrial race that closely resembles the ancient deity of the Underworld. And who might that be? It’s Anubis, that’s who. Linday’s informant also discovered – via remote-viewing – that the Dogmen can “jump” from location to location via portals or doorways in the fabric of space and time. That’s quite a story told to Godfrey: Dogmen from the stars that have a connection to Anubis. The story isn’t finished, though.

Linda Godfrey with Nick Redfern

On March 24, 2017, “The Emoluments of Mars” blog ran an article that said: “Mike Bara, the world-renowned geneticist and physiologist, was invited once again to blather for three hours on Jimmy Church’s podcast Fade to Black this week. 90% of it was discussion of a series of images of odd-looking artifacts on Mars. There was the pistol, the sarcophagus, the fossilized dinosaur, and my personal favorite the 20ft high cat playing air guitar.” In my book, The Martians, I wrote of this: “An upright cat, standing precariously on a huge hill, on none other than Mars? That is what one particular and peculiar photograph, secured by the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, seems to show. The word ‘seems’ is the most important one in all of this. The picture shows what looks like a thin, humanoid-type figure – and that is so skinny it appears to resemble a classic, cartoon-like stick-man. We can see two arms (one of them raised), two legs, possibly two feet, and a head. Admittedly, the head is cat-like, and it has a pair of eyes and pointed ears. And, the “creature” appears to be standing in front of what looks like a shadowy entrance to a cave.” I have to say that Bizarre” is the word. Or, beyond bizarre.

(Nick Redfern)

Anubis from Mars?

I showed the picture to a well-known figure in the ““ancient aliens” world who, on seeing it, practically foamed at the mouth. I’ll avoid mentioning his name, as he has since moved on and relegated it to the “pareidolia basket.” Before doing so, however, he spent a couple of weeks working on a paper titled “Anubis on Mars?” The reason: the person in question felt that the “upright cat” looked far more like none other than Anubis. And who, precisely, was Anubis?  Let us take a look: “Anubis is the Egyptian name for a jackal-headed god associated with mummification and the afterlife in Egyptian mythology,” Crystalinks state. “Anubis was the god to protect the dead and bring them to the afterlife. He was usually portrayed as a half human, half jackal, or in full jackal form wearing a ribbon and holding a flail in the crook of its arm.” I’ve had people tell me that the Dog-Men and Anubis might have a connection. I have no evidence, at all, to support such a controversial thing. But, it’s worth keeping things in mind when it comes to the words of Linda Godfrey’s “Deep Throat”/whistleblower.

“I think they are studying us. I don’t know what they really want.”

What kind of psychic says he knows for certain that extraterrestrials have been secretly watching humans for thousands of years … yet can’t tell us what they want? Uri Geller, of course! The Sultan of Spoon Bending has moved on from claiming to influence sports games and election results to warning that aliens are finally going to make themselves visible to us after studying humans from hidden locations.

“But I think they are preparing us for contact for the Steven Spielberg scenario of landing and it’s going to be spectacular. They will probably land on the White House lawn or somewhere. All our science fiction films about alien encounter will come true.”

Would Spielberg have an alien ship land on the White House lawn? Based on how his latest film is doing, he wouldn’t have them do a dance number as they exited the ship. In an interview with The Sun Online, Geller has expanded his earlier statements that ETs have been watching us for 50 years and now says they’ve been patiently observing for thousands. One would think Geller should have more accurate numbers since he has often claimed he received his psychic powers from aliens … although under hypnosis he once claimed he IS an ET sent here from another solar system. Whatever the case, he’s never been known to do anything as spectacular as bending spoons, so perhaps that’s what we should be prepared for the ETs to do on the White House lawn.

“There is no doubt in my mind that they are gentle and I’ll tell you why – if they weren’t we would have been destroyed a long time ago. Their ability to move in such erratic ways has never been seen before. It’s simply unbelievable. I think the Pentagon know much more but they’re not telling us.”

Geller conveniently piggybacks onto the Tic Tac UFO accounts with his comment about “their ability to move his such erratic ways.” However, to accuse the Pentagon of knowing more than they’re telling us conveniently sidesteps that fact that psychic Geller should also know more than he’s telling us … probably more than the Pentagon knows if he’s really an ET and/or a psychic. Is it any wonder why the late James Randi was so skeptical of Geller?

Will the aliens tell us how to bend spoons?

At this point, it doesn’t take a psychic to figure out what comes next. No, not an exact date of the spectacular arrival of the ETs – the best Geller can do is say “60 to 75 years it’s going to happen.” What Geller reveals next to The Sun Online is what he’s plugging – a new book on how anyone can use their own psychic powers to obtain “health, wealth, success and peace of mind.”

Sorry, Uri, we’d rather know when the aliens are coming and what kind of spoons they’ll be bending.
