‘There appear to be true UFOs’: Expert skewers U.S. for not taking search ‘more seriously’

For years, the U.S. military, in conjunction with NASA, has been gathering information to write a report about unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP), a phrase less recognizable than unidentified flying object (UFO). But as information is gathered, most of what is shared with the public is slim as most becomes classified intelligence.

Politico Magazine published a report Thursday complaining that the American public is being kept in the dark. The only thing that is clear, it said, is that there is a team of national security experts and military personnel dedicated to finding the truth about what is being observed in the skies by the FAA and military planes.

“But there’s always been a stubborn percentage of UFO and UAP sightings that can’t be dismissed as known phenomena or technology” — or even national security threats like spy balloons, author Garrett Graff wrote.

“Depending on the exact data set and timespan, the percentage of true ‘unknown unknowns’ ranges from around 5 percent up to 20 percent. No one knows what those sightings actually are. Put another way: There appear to be true UFOs and UAPs, mysteries we can’t solve.

Pentagon UFO boss says strange sightings are either ‘aliens’ or a foreign power – and he hopes it’s extraterrestrials

According to the director of the Pentagon‘s UFO investigation office, ‘the best thing that could come out of this job is to prove that there are aliens.’ 

The alternative to what would be a literally Earth-changing discovery of extraterrestrial life exploring our own planet would be that a rival foreign power could be ‘doing stuff in our backyard,’ he said. 

Dr. Kirkpatrick added: ‘And that’s not good.’

The longtime laser and materials physicist and head of the Pentagon’s UFO-chasing All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) delivered this bracing assessment as news broke of his impending retirement from government service. 

Dr. Kirkpatrick’s 18-month tenure as AARO’s first ever director has been laced with controversy, as expected for a mandate once relegated to the scientific fringe. 

While some UFO whistleblowers now accuse Kirkpatrick of fostering an ‘atmosphere of disinterest,’ others have suggested his superiors are holding AARO’s efforts back even though a few have described ‘really positive’ experiences with the office.

UFO hunter who has studied ‘alien’ mummy for over a decade claims remains are an ancient species of tiny, cave-dwelling human

Chile’s mysterious, oblong-headed ‘Atacama skeleton’ may have once been a small class of terrestrial humanoid living in the high caves of the South American Andes, at least according to the man who has spent a decade studying the being.

This Spanish businessman and researcher who now owns the eerie, but tiny, skeletal mummy dropped his new theory on Spain‘s Mitele TV network late last week. 

Sensational origin stories have trailed Chile’s ‘Atacama skeleton’ ever since the six-inch-long ‘alien‘ mummy was first taken from an abandoned church in the ghost town of La Noria, 3,225-feet above sea level in the arid Atacama Desert. 

But seven experts in infant anatomy and anthropology maintain that there is nothing at all unusual about the skeleton, nicknamed ‘Ata’ — even as other small mummies have been presented before Mexico’s Congress as proof of extraterrestrial life.  

One expert called the new theory ‘absurd,’ telling DailyMail.com it was ‘not based on scientific evidence, or just knowledge of normal anatomical development of babies.’

Air Force officer breaks silence on ‘red, glowing UFO the size of a football field’ hovering at low altitude over US space launch base in California – in event witnessed by over half a dozen military personnel: ‘People were screaming and scared’

Twenty years ago this October, military contractors working for Boeing reported ‘a gigantic floating red square’ UFO — over 100 yards long — hovering in the morning air over a launch site at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

The eerie 2003 event first exploded into public view this July, in sworn testimony before Congress, but now an ex-US Air Force security officer has come forward to detail his official, rapid-response investigation into the UFO on the day it occurred.

‘This is not a joke,’ ex-USAF senior patrolman, Jeff Nuccetelli, told the Merged podcast Tuesday. ‘These are contractors with top secret clearances.’ 

Nuccetelli also revealed a second reported encounter with the ‘red square,’ in which two of his fellow USAF police patrol officers ‘got buzzed by the UFO.’

‘When I showed up, it’s just mayhem,’ as Nuccetelli recalled it. ‘Everybody’s excited. They’re scared. Everyone’s freaked out.’

‘Alien Bodies’ Revisited at Second Mexican Congressional Hearing on UFOs

A second Mexican Congressional hearing on UFOs held this week saw further discussion surrounding a pair of peculiar mummified bodies which some contend are aliens. The eyebrow-raising remains said to have been discovered in Peru spawned worldwide headlines back in September when journalist and ufologist Jaime Maussan unveiled them to politicians at the first gathering devoted to exploring UFOs. On Tuesday, Mexico’s Congress tackled the topic for a second time and, once again, the mysterious ‘alien’ bodies took center stage with multiple witnesses testifying to their unusual nature.

Sharing new photos and x-rays of the bodies, Dr. Daniel Mendoza reportedly posited that they were of “non-human beings,” while Maussan took it a step further and argued that they were some kind of “new species” and asserted that these entities possessed neither lungs nor ribs. As to suggestions that the remains were cobbled together in a fashion similar to a Fiji Mermaid, anthropologist Roger Zuniga reportedly declared that “there was absolutely no human intervention in the physical and biological formation of these beings.” He also furnished a letter signed by 11 of his colleagues from San Luis Gonzaga National University who echoed that assessment, though they stopped short of calling the beings extraterrestrial.

Pentagon UFO chief Dr Sean Kirkpatrick will be REPLACED by end of the year as whistleblowers accuse him of lying to the public and ignoring witnesses

The Pentagon’s UFO chief will resign by year’s end — amid a wave of complaints accusing him of making false statements about UFO whistleblowers and fostering an ‘atmosphere of disinterest,’ DailyMail.com understands.

‘Four major candidates’ have been interviewed to replace the current director of the Pentagon‘s UFO office, Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, following months of heated public sparring between the former CIA physicist, UFO whistleblowers and activists.

The Pentagon appears to have already ‘made the decision’ on Kirkpatrick’s unnamed successor, according to one former Pentagon official with past involvement in related UFO investigation programs, who spoke with the DailyMail.com.

‘Given their public affairs track record,’ this ex-official said, ‘they may not put out anything to the press until well after the change, but who knows? They might surprise us.’

The personnel shift marks the culmination of months of accusations and counter-accusations traded between Kirkpatrick and former intel officer David Grusch, who has alleged widespread illegalities stemming from a long-secret UFO program. 

This week, Grusch publicly accused Kirkpatrick of lying about his office’s efforts to investigate these claims, which had been laid out by Grusch last July under oath before Congress.

Previously, Kirkpatrick had described Grusch’s same testimony, made before the House Oversight committee, as ‘insulting […] to the officers of the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community.’

But fellow UFO whistleblowers working with Grusch, some past and present DoD and Intelligence Community officers themselves, reportedly ‘don’t trust and never did trust Sean,’ according to an attorney aiding their efforts.

Goldie Hawn Knows That Aliens Have Touched Her Face

Goldie Hawn believes she’s had a close encounter with the third kind. On a new episode of the Apple Fitness+ audio experience Time to Walk, the Oscar and Golden Globe winner recounts her experience with extraterrestrials and her journey with them over the years.

A dancer by trade, Hawn was just a 20-year-old in Anaheim, California, when she first began wondering about the great unknown. “That was a time when, you know, there was a lot of UFO sightings,” says Hawn during the episode. “I remember this so clearly: I went outside my door, and I sat on the little ledge, and I looked up at the dark sky. And I saw all these stars. And all I could think of was, How far does this go? How little are we? Are we the only planet in the whole wide universe that has life on it?”

It was then, she says, that she knew she was destined to make contact with aliens. “I said, ‘I know you’re out there, I know we’re not alone, and I would like to meet you one day.’”

Smash cut to four months later, when the future First Wives Club star was working another dance job in West Covina, California—a city that’s “very close to the desert,” as she’s careful to note. Exhausted from dance rehearsals, Hawn asked a friend if she could take a nap in his car, a decision that still baffles her to this day. “I don’t know why I said that,” she says. “I don’t know why I didn’t just lie down on the bleachers.” After getting into the car to sleep, “I got this high-pitched sound in my ear,” she says. “It was this high, high frequency.”

That’s when she looked out the window. “I saw these two or three triangular-shaped heads,” Hawn recalls. “They were silver in color, slash for a mouth, tiny little nose, no ears. They were pointing at me, pointing at me in the car as if they were discussing me, like I was a subject. And they were droning…” Throughout her encounter with the two to three silver-headed creatures, she was unable to move her body, Hawn says. “I was paralyzed. And I thought, Oh, my God. I want to get up. I didn’t know if it was real or not real.”

Eventually, Hawn was able to “burst out” of the episode, she says. “It was like bursting out of a forcefield,” she recounts. “Of course I go back to all the kids and stuff, and I went, ‘Oh, my God. I think I made contact with outer space.’”

Bizarre UFO Encounters on Modern Battlefields

In every war there are often lesser known experiences floating about beyond the typical tales of fighting and heroism. Here in the background of all of the conflict and death often lurk outlandish accounts of something strange going on, something perhaps even more frightening than the enemy. Strange things in the sky have long been said to loiter around places of war, going all the way back to ancient times, but this is far from just in the realm of superstition and the ignorant of the past misunderstanding common celestial phenomena, and here we will look at some of the stranger cases of these things congregating to war all the way up into modern times. 

Starting from World War I we have the spectacular time the Red Baron supposedly shot down a flying saucer. The so- called Red Baron was the German ace pilot Manfred Freiherr von Richthofen, who was both renowned and feared for his unrivaled flying skills, often considered to be “the ace of aces” and racking up at least 80 air combat victories over his wartime carreer. In the book UFOs of the First World War, by Nigel Watson, there is a curious account that seems to show that human pilots were not the only ones the Red Baron hunted down and engaged. The story goes that as he was flying over the Belgian trenches in the spring of 1917 with fellow pilot Peter Waitzrick, the Baron spotted an unidentified object that was described as “an upside down silver saucer with orange lights” hovering in clear blue skies. After a moment of awe, fear and wonder, the Red Baron opened fire upon it, and Waitzrick, who reportedly saw the whole incident, described what happened next as follows:

We were terrified because we’d never seen anything like it before. The Baron immediately opened fire and the thing went down like a rock, shearing off tree limbs as it crashed into the woods.

But wait, it gets even weirder still. As they passed over the wreckage, two humanoid figures were supposedly seen to climb out of the otherworldly wrecked craft and scurry off into the trees, after which they were not seen again. Waitzrick would keep the whole bizarre story to himself until 80 years later, in 1999, when he would tell the world about it. There are certainly some suspicious aspects of the whole tale, not the least of which is that Waitzrick chose to come out with his amazing experience after 8 decades of silence to The Weekly World News, which many readers will recognize as perhaps not the most trustworthy of news publications. Also, the planes they were piloting were claimed to be Fokker triplanes, which is odd since these planes would not be used in the war until some months after the alleged event, in August of 1917. Perhaps Waitzrick just didn’t know anyone who would take his story seriously and didn’t know any better so it just happened to be that the Weekly World News picked it up, and perhaps with the planes his memory after nearly a century was not what it once was, but one thing he seems to be quite sure of is that the infamous Red Baron shot down a UFO, saying:

There’s no doubt in my mind that the Baron shot down some kind of spacecraft from another planet and those little guys who ran off into the woods were space aliens of some kind.

King Charles urged to use his ‘direct hotline’ to President Joe Biden to expose ‘the truth about UFOs’

King Charles has been urged to apply “pressure” on US President Joe Biden to “reveal the truth about UFOs”.

Nick Pope, a former employee of the UK’s UFO desk, has revealed the many ways in which the British monarch can help the UK disclosure process commence as it did across the pond three months ago, as someone with direct access to the world leader.

In UFO expert Mark Christopher Lee’s new film, ‘The King Of UFOs’, Pope says: “Here is somebody who could pick up the phone and say look here what’s going on in the United States. He could ask for a full classified briefing.”

The documentary states that Charles can request Ministers for the UK parliament to compile a report if there is ever any unexplained activity in UK airspace as it would be a potential defence and safety issue.

The royal could also gather parliamentary questions much like the US initiated discourse and gather enough momentum to force the Defence Minister to hold a hearing.

Pope claims that the king must be interested in UFOs, as his late Prince Phillip and great uncle Lord Mountbatten were.

Lee believes part of the UK government’s fears against investigating the phenomena is the “demonic” element to UFO sightings.

The filmmaker recently made the hit Tubi film ‘God Versus Aliens’, an exploration of “the spiritual implications that first contact would have.”

Former Canadian diver Dan Costello was interviewed in the film and claims he worked with the then-Prince Charles on Project Serpico in Nova Scotia in Canada in 1975.

They told a famous story about being abducted by space aliens. A new book says it’s really about racism

There is the sound of fear in a voice: a sudden gasp, a stutter or a suppressed scream. And then there is the sound of stark terror: an adult losing all control, blubbering and gasping for breath like a kid facing their worst nightmare.

That sound of unimaginable terror is what a psychiatrist recorded when he put a man named Barney Hill under hypnosis in his office one day in 1964. Hill was a World War II vet, a big guy with a Darth Vader baritone voice and an IQ of 140.

But when the psychiatrist asked him to relive a fateful night three years earlier, he broke down in hysterical sobbing. He said he and his wife, Betty, were tracked by a mysterious light on an isolated highway in the New Hampshire mountains one night and abducted by humanoid creatures in a UFO who forced them to undergo medical examinations.

The story Hill told would become arguably the most famous UFO abductee story ever. One historian said the Hills were the “Adam and Eve of alien abduction” stories. The couple’s tale was turned into a best-selling book and a movie starring James Earl Jones, and it has provided the template for nearly every depiction of an alien encounter in pop culture since.

A new book, however, claims that the story isn’t so much about aliens as it is about race. The Hills, an interracial couple who were also civil rights activists, told a story that reflected their growing disenchantment with the slow progress of the civil rights movement, says the historian Matthew Bowman in “The Abduction of Betty and Barney Hill: Alien Encounters, Civil Rights, and the New Age in America.”

As America prepares to celebrate Halloween, Bowman’s book offers an unexpected racial dimension to the famous story. He, and others, have recast it as one of the spookiest stories about racism in American history.
