‘Aliens’ Terrorizing Peruvian Village Revealed to be Mischievous Miners

Peruvian authorities have identified the alleged aliens that have been terrorizing a village for the past month and revealed that the ‘extraterrestrials’ were actually a group of miners with a scheme straight out of the classic cartoon Scooby-Doo. The wild case, which made headlines earlier this week, began last month when the Ikitu indigenous people living in the district of Alto Nanay reported nightly visits from fantastic beings, believed to be aliens or supernatural entities, that seemingly possessed the power to levitate. Following an attack on a teenage girl by one of the eerie interlopers, Peruvian authorities descended on the scene to investigate and managed to quickly unmask the nefarious ‘ETs.’

In detailing the findings of their investigation, an official reportedly indicated that the ‘visitors’ were actually a group of individuals who were illegally mining for gold in the nearby jungle. Amazingly, lest one think that the accounts of levitating aliens were a case of mass hysteria or simply made up out of whole cloth, he explained that the gang actually used jet packs to make it appear as if the ‘beings’ were not bound by the laws of gravity. The purpose of the elaborate production was to convince the villagers that aliens or supernatural beings had overtaken the jungle so that they fearfully avoided the area while the illegal mining operation was underway.

A monumental UFO scandal is looming

The decades-long saga of unidentified flying objects (UFOs) is barreling headlong toward one of two stunning conclusions.

Either the U.S. government has mounted an extraordinary, decades-long coverup of UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering activities, or elements of the defense and intelligence establishment are engaging in a staggeringly brazen psychological disinformation campaign.

Either possibility would have profound implications for democracy, the role of government and perhaps also humanity’s place in the cosmos.

For these reasons, it is imperative that Congress and federal law enforcement agencies devote significant resources to investigating a series of remarkable UFO-related developments.

Importantly, a third explanation for recent events — that dozens of high-level, highly-cleared officials have come to believe enduring UFO myths, rumors and speculation as fact — appears increasingly unlikely.

In June, U.S. Air Force veteran and former intelligence official David Grusch alleged that elements of the U.S. government have secretly and illegally overseen a decades-long UFO retrieval and reverse-engineering effort. Two defense officials corroborated the broad contours of Grusch’s stunning claims.

Grusch has stated that he provided a wealth of highly classified evidence to the powerful internal investigative agencies overseeing the Department of Defense and the U.S intelligence community, but he has not presented any such evidence publicly.

However, the officials and lawmakers who have reviewed Grusch’s classified evidence are taking his extraordinary allegations seriously.

Pilots Are Seeing Some Very Strange Things In Arizona’s Military Training Ranges

Encounters with small unidentified “objects,” sometimes in swarm-like groups of as many as eight. Sightings of other objects, including some characterized as drones, flying at altitudes up to 36,000 feet and as fast as Mach 0.75. Another apparent small drone actually hitting the canopy of an F-16 Viper causing damage. These incidents and many more, all occurred in or around various military air combat training ranges in Arizona since January 2020.

The events are described in reports from the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) filed over roughly a three-year period. Overall, the data points to what are often categorized as drones, but many of which are actually unidentified objects, as well as what do appear to be drones, or uncrewed aerial systems (UAS), intruding into these restricted warning areas with alarming regularity.

Marc Cecotti, a contributor to The War Zone, has been able to obtain additional partially redacted reports about a number of these incidents from the U.S. Air Force’s Safety Center via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) that provide additional insights. Cecotti, together with Adam Kehoe, another one of our contributors, had first begun to notice a clustering of reports of unusual aerial encounters in southwestern Arizona back in 2021. An interactive online tool they created for The War Zone that leverages the FAA’s public database of drone-related incident reports helped highlight that trend.

Scientific Report Confirms “Multiple” Tic Tac UFOs Were Tracked “Above 80,000 Feet” During West Coast 2004 Encounters

A 140-page scientific report, generated by a U.S. intelligence agency, analysed multiple Tic-Tac-shaped objects above 80,000 feet, which were involved in the famous 2004 Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) encounter off the coast of California.

The existence of the analysis was confirmed by investigative journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell on their most recent WEAPONIZED podcast episode.

Knapp confirmed on the show that he sought to get the report submitted to the Congressional Record ahead of the UAP Public Hearing held in the House of Representatives on 26 July 2023.

However, due to concerns about hurting sources, Knapp refrained and chose not to proceed.

Corbell said the “detailed” scientific analysis describes “encounters of multiple craft above 80,000 feet” and from “space”.

He also confirmed that the analysis was unknown to naval aviators Commander David Fravor and Commander Chad Underwood, who encountered the unexplained Tic Tac objects of unknown origin during the 2004 incident.

During last Wednesday’s Congressional UAP Hearing Commander Fravor, who testified under oath, described seeing a 40-foot-long “Tic Tac” shaped object close to the ocean surface moving erratically like a “ping pong ball” that travelled more than 60 miles in less than a minute.

This was just one of multiple objects tracked on radar by the cruiser USS Princeton.

‘We’re Going To Uncover the Cover Up’: House Probes Government Handling of UFOs

“The American public has a right to learn” about UFOs, lawmaker says. A House Oversight subcommittee hearing on Wednesday examined what the government knows about unidentified flying objects, or UFOs.

The hourslong hearing “oscillated between statements of concern about the potential national security threat posed by unknown objects flying close to U.S. military aircraft and more extreme allusions to government conspiracies to hide the existence of alien lifeforms,” reports The Washington Post. More:

“We’re not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing — sorry to disappoint about half y’all,” Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) said. “We’re just going to get to the facts. We’re going to uncover the cover up.”

In response to reported encounters by Navy pilots, the U.S. military and the intelligence community have sought to more closely analyze such incidents. The sightings, including some that are believed to be drones or unmanned craft — like the Chinese surveillance airship shot down in U.S. airspace earlier this year — have fueled concerns that American adversaries could have developed new technologies that pose a threat to U.S. security.

Subcommittee members yesterday called for more transparency from the Department of Defense and intelligence agencies about their findings regarding UFOs—or “unidentified anomalous phenomena” (UAP), the new preferred term.

“The American public has a right to learn about technologies of unknown origins, nonhuman intelligence and unexplainable phenomena,” said Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-Fla.).

One of the witnesses yesterday was David Grusch, a former Pentagon employee who worked on the UAP task force and now claims the government is secretly storing downed alien vessels.

“I was informed in the course of my official duties of a multidecade UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program to which I was denied access,” Grusch claimed again yesterday. He also agreed when asked whether he had “personal knowledge of people who’ve been harmed or injured in efforts to cover up or conceal these extraterrestrial technology.”

Whistleblower testifies that US government is ‘absolutely’ in possession of non-human craft

A former Pentagon intelligence official testified Wednesday that he was “absolutely” certain the government had possession of nonhuman craft.

David Grusch, a former Air Force officer, said during a House Oversight Committee hearing that his information was based on interviews with 40 witnesses and that he knew where the material was being held. Grusch added that nonhuman “biologics” were recovered along with the craft.

Grusch initially made the claims last month before adding the information about pilots in a NewsNation interview.

He was an intelligence officer for the Air Force and eventually joined the task force looking into unidentified anomalous phenomena, or UAP, the military’s preferred term for UFOs.

He said he became a whistleblower in May 2022 after he received a number of concerning reports that the government was acting with secrecy and without congressional oversight with regard to UAP.

A Pentagon spokesperson strenuously denied Grusch’s initial claims, saying they have “not discovered any verifiable information to substantiate claims that any programs regarding the possession or reverse-engineering of extraterrestrial materials have existed in the past or exist currently.”

Grusch said he feared for his life and had faced professional and personal consequences from the government for speaking out, noting there was an ongoing whistleblower retaliation investigation into his treatment.

He said he believed that the government first became aware of nonhuman technology in the 1930s and that there had been a “multi-decade campaign to disenfranchise public interest.”

UFO Whistleblower: US Recovered Non-Human Biological Pilots from Crashed Crafts

US Air Force Major David Grusch on Wednesday testified before a House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee hearing on UFOs.

Grusch, a former intel community official tasked with investigating UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena), told lawmakers the US government has recovered “non-human” biological pilots from crashed crafts.

“My testimony is based on information I’ve been given by individuals with a long-standing track record of legitimacy and service to this country, many of whom have shared compelling evidence in the form of photography, official documentation and classified oral testimony to myself and many various colleagues,” Grusch said on Wednesday.

“I am asking Congress to hold our government to this standard and thoroughly investigate these claims,” Grusch said. “But as I stand here under oath now I am speaking to the facts as I have been told them.”

Military Withholding Information on UFOs From Congress, Members Say

The U.S. government is withholding information on UFOs from Congress and the American people, which is eroding public trust and endangering national security, according to members of the House of Representatives.

UFOs were once considered a fringe topic, the province of hoaxsters and conspiracy theorists.

But amid mounting evidence of unexplained, potentially other-worldly, aircraft with advanced capabilities, the House’s Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs convened a hearing on July 26 to shed light on the matter.

“The lack of transparency regarding UAPs has wild speculation and debate for decades, eroding public trust in the very institutions that are meant to serve and protect them,” said Chair Glenn Grothman (R-Wis.), referring to the acronym for Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. “We must demand transparency from the Department of Defense, our intelligence community, and our defense industry UAP work.”

Congressional Hearing on UFOs Features Testimony from Pilots & Whistleblower

UFOs were once again the talk of Congress on Wednesday morning by way of yet another highly anticipated hearing on the mysterious phenomenon. Organized by the House Subcommittee on National Security, the Border, and Foreign Affairs, the event differed significantly from the two previous hearings held over the last year. Unlike at those gatherings, which featured testimony from Pentagon officials investigating unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), the witnesses on Wednesday were former Navy pilots Ryan Graves and David Fravor, who recounted their own encounters with UFOs as well as whistleblower David Grusch, who sparked headlines earlier this year with his claims that the United States has a clandestine crash retrieval program for downed UAPs.

The refreshingly bipartisan affair, which ran nearly two-and-a-half hours and can be seen in full above, saw politicians from both sides of the aisle call for greater transparency from the government with regards to the phenomenon that has long been shrouded in secrecy. The hearing was unsurprisingly short on specific answers with regards to the UFO mystery as its purpose seemed to be geared more towards conveying to the public that this is a serious issue that can no longer be ignored or ridiculed. To that end, Rep. Tim Burchett, who spearheaded the hearing, declared that “we’re not bringing little green men or flying saucers into the hearing … we’re just going to get to the facts. We’re going to uncover the cover up.”

During his testimony, Graves recalled members of his squadron frequently encountering mysterious objects that resembled “dark grey or black cubes inside of clear sphere.” He went on to muse that “if everyone could see the sensor and video data I witnessed, our national conversation would change.” Meanwhile, Fravor shared his account of the now-famous ‘Tic Tac’ UFO incident and he asserted that the enigmatic object “was far superior to anything that we had at the time, have today or looking to develop in the next 10 years.” One overarching theme to emerge from their remarks was a call for an improvement in the ways in which pilots can report their experiences with UAPs so that they do not have to fear professional reprisals for speaking on the subject.

Declassified CIA Files Form Bizarre Link Between JFK Assassination and UFOs

“You don’t have to be a conspiracy theorist to think it’s suspicious.”

Newly declassified U.S. government files from the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) are leading some to form a bizarre link between the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and flying saucers. The extraordinary connection comes after President Joe Biden recently cleared formerly top-secret documents to “provide a fuller understanding” of JFK’s murder.

The assassination has been pored over for decades, but one document has revealed the previously redacted name of a CIA official, Reuben Efron, who intercepted Lee Harvey Oswald’s mail in the months before the tragic shooting on Nov. 22, 1963.

However, Efron is named in another file, dated Oct. 15, 1955, which details a bizarre sighting of “flying saucers” while on a train trip through the Soviet Union. The official CIA document says the “reported sighting of unusual aircraft in USSR” was made by “three reliable US observers.”

The excerpt from a cable received from the U.S. Air Force reveals these individuals as Efron, Senator Richard Russell, and a Lt. Col. E. U. Hathaway. Senator Russell would later sit on the Warren Commission, which was tasked with investigating the JFK assassination.

The description of the incident in the “Trancaucasus Region” details “two mound and circular unconventional aircraft resembling flying discs or flying saucers were seen taking off almost vertically one minute apart.”
