Why Have We Stopped Seeing UFOs in the Skies?

I became aware of a pattern of bright flashing lights on the wall. All I could see through the curtainless window on the opposite side of the room was a strip of rather cloudy night sky. The vivid flashing was coming from within, or perhaps behind, a bank of cloud. As I continued to watch, an object materialized from within the cloud, advancing until it stood in plain view in the night sky. It was a strikingly large craft of some kind, flattish but with rounded edges, like an old-fashioned bedwarmer, or perhaps a huge English muffin. It was sparkling-silver and covered all over with a regular pattern of flashing white lights. After hovering for a few seconds, it began to move across the sky, and as it reached the right-hand frame of my window, I leant over the side of the bed to keep it in view. At a certain point it ceased its progress and, at the same sedate pace, retraced its route back to its starting-point. There it lingered for a few more seconds, before retreating into the cloud-bank until its evanescent flashing had entirely dissolved from view. I had not been drinking or taking drugs, I hadn’t dozed off and reawoken, and I wasn’t in a general state of agitation. It was a perfectly normal evening: I had gone to bed and was waiting to fall asleep. Nothing remotely similar has ever happened to me before or since. If everybody is entitled to at least one experience of the paranormal or unexplained, this was mine. UFO sightings, along with all other kinds of paranormal activity, used to be commonplace around the world. Aeon Magazine’s Stuart Walton explains why they may have gone missing. UFO sightings reached their spate roughly within a decade of the release of Steven Spielberg’s spellbinding film Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977). One good reason to believe there were never any UFOS is that nobody sees them any more. Once, the skies were refulgent with alien craft; now they are back to their primordial emptiness, returning only static to the radio telescopes, and offering the occasional meteor shower to the wondering eye. It isn’t only flying saucers that have receded into history. They are being followed, more gradually to be sure, by a decline in sightings of ghosts, recordings of poltergeists, claims of psychokinesis and the rest. Many of those with a vested interest in the supernatural industry naturally resist this contention, but there is far less credulity among the public for tales of the extraordinary than there was even a generation ago. The standard explanation attributes this to growing skepticism. But, as is only fitting for the paranormal, it might be that there are more mysterious forces at work. Filming is now within the grasp of everybody with a smartphone. Closed-circuit television (CCTV) beadily observes the nothing that is all that seems to happen on deserted night-time streets. Video cameras used to be reserved for the signal events of a life (weddings, anniversaries, birthdays), but now scarcely anything is beneath the attention of YouTube. In the heyday of ghost stories, the elusive grail was a photograph or moving film of some spectral emanation. There should no longer be any technical obstacle to providing this, and yet all we see is the odd whitish blur that could as easily be a mark on the screen. The dignity of spooky stories was that, unlike obvious tissues of lies, they occasionally managed to cross the divide between the highly unlikely and the just barely credible. If they could never be proved, neither could they ever be disproved—except by pointing to the laws of physics, an alienating language spoken by experts who couldn’t conceal their contempt for ordinary gullibility. Now that so much of the culture of the spectacle evokes the same response, the laws of physics have no greater claim to finality than do poorly produced video-hoaxes on YouTube. The cameras of natural history programming miss nothing, even at the cellular level, even in pitch dark, and yet everything looks like the video that it is. There are those who continue to believe the Moon landings were a hoax just because the film evidence looks so fake, and could so easily have been produced in a studio. By contrast, the notorious black-and-white alien autopsy footage from Roswell, New Mexico is an insultingly obvious fraud, as educated people reassured each other at the film’s emergence in 1995, having forgotten for a moment that the absurdity lay not in the cinematography but in the very idea of a humanoid space-creature. In the age of electronic mass media, when so much flashes around the world instantaneously, when video clips, in a telling usage, ‘go viral’, there should be no doubt about what is real and what isn’t. Yet the critical mass is no longer critical. There is an air of the semblance, of ‘facticity’, about what we are urged to look at. The very fact that it is shrieking for public attention tends to speak against it. A couple of years ago, I saw a documentary about the UK’s dwindling UFO sightings. Various people who had reported them in the past were invited to relive their experiences, often going back to the very places where the incidents had taken place. Some of the interviewees were still as unshakeably convinced of the concrete reality of what they had seen as they were at the time, though the thrust of the program was towards likely explanations, set against the general cultural fascination there once was in the idea of alien civilizations. One man had seen a mysterious object in the sky, some time (if memory serves) in the late 1980s. He had drawn a sketch of it soon after. Hearteningly enough, it was identical to mine.

The Grinning Man – A Cryptoid Or Just an Urban Legend?

I know I’ve written about Indrid Cold aka “The Grinning Man” before. But I start to look into it some more. I just find it odd that I can’t find anymore sighting with him at all. Does anyone have links or know of any stories?
imageHe usually appears around the time of UFO sightings

The Grinning Man is a name given to a mysterious creature that has been reported in various areas over the last century.

He is believed to either be an alien or some other type of unknown creature.  If nothing else, he is very creepy and all the witness accounts describe him as being very strange.  Everyone who has seen him will never forget him or what he looks like.  Nobody knows if there is just one Grinning Man or many, or if the whole thing is just an urban legend.

One account of the Grinning Man happened in October 1966.  Two boys in NJ were walking along Fourth Street, and when they reached a corner parallel to the NJ Turnpike, one of the boys, James Yanchitis, could see a strange figure standing on the other side of a fence.  He nudged his friend, Marvin Munoz, who then noticed the man too.  They both describe the man as being “a really big man with a big old grin”.  Allegedly, another resident in the neighborhood claimed to have been “chased by a tall green man” down that very same street. 

John A. Keel, a well-known paranormal investigator and author of “The Mothman Prophecies”, visited the boys a few days later to speak to them about their incident.  He interviewed each boy separately and they both gave the same exact story.  The man, they claimed was more than six feet tall and was dressed in a green coverall costume.  The costume even appeared to be shimmering in the street lights.  There was a black belt around his waist.  Neither boy noticed any hair, nose, or ears on the man, just two, beady eyes and a really big grin.

There were other, similar reports of such a strange man in other parts of the country, including on in Parkersburg, WV, which is about 40 miles away from where the mothman sightings took place.  In Nov. 1966, Woodrow Derenberger was driving home in his truck when he heard a crash.  Out of nowhere, a vehicle came zooming up behind him and quickly passed him up.  After passing him up, the vehicle slowed down and stopped, blocking the road.  The witness noticed that it was the strangest vehicle he had ever seen, and described it as looking like a “kerosene lamp chimney”.  It apparently was flaring at each end, and the ends were narrow.  The vehicle had a large bulge in the center.

All of a sudden, a strange, tall man stepped out.  He was described as being “really tall and tanned”.  Derenberger claimed that the man had a “gleaming green” outfit on, similar to what the boys in NJ noted.  The Grinning Man alleged communicated with Derenberger telepathically and asked him strange questions about UFO sightings in the area.  The entity then, telepathically, revealed his name to be “Indrid Cold”. 

There have been other reports of a strange, grinning man, including on in Point Pleasant, WV, where the mothman sightings took place.  Nobody knows for sure who—-or what—-this strange man was, or why he was here.  Of course, he could just be an urban legend.  Or, he could’ve just been an ordinary, albeit strange man.  There haven’t been any more reported sightings of him as of late.  Whenever he had been around in the past, there were usually UFO sightings or crypto sightings such as Mothman.  He couldn’t be associated with the Men in Black, since he supposedly wears a shimmering green outfit.

Grey Aliens

Grey aliens (or “Greys”) are alleged extraterrestrial beings whose existence is promoted in ufological, paranormal, and New Age communities, named for their skin color.

Paranormal claims involving Greys vary in every respect including their nature (ETs, extradimensionals, demons, or machines), origins, moral dispositions, intentions, and physical appearances (even varying in their eponymous skin color). A composite description derived from overlap in claims would have Greys as small bodied, sexless beings with smooth grey skin, enlarged head and large eyes. The origin of the idea of the Grey is commonly associated with the Betty and Barney Hill abduction claim, although skeptics see precursors in science fiction and earlier paranormal claims.

Greys are typically depicted as gray-skinned diminutive humanoid beings that possess reduced forms of, or completely lack, external human organs such as noses, ears or sex organs. Their bodies are usually depicted as being elongated, having a small chest, and lacking in muscular definition and visible skeletal structure. Their legs are shorter and jointed differently than one would expect in a human. Their limbs are often depicted as proportionally different than a human’s; their humerus and thighs are the same lengths as their forearms and shins, respectively. 

Grays are depicted as having unusually large heads in proportion to their bodies. They are depicted as having no hair anywhere on the body, including the face, and no noticeable outer ears or noses, but only small openings or orifices for ears and nostrils. They are depicted as having very small mouths, and very large, opaque black eyes with no discernible iris or pupil. Sometimes Greys are alternately depicted as having no noticeable nostrils or mouths.

Among reports of supposed alien encounters, Greys make up approximately 50 percent in Australia, 43 percent in the United States, 90 percent in Canada, 67 percent in Brazil, 20 percent in Continental Europe, and around 12 percent in Great Britain.

The science fiction writer H. G. Wells, in the article “Man of the Year Million” in 1893, describes humanity transformed into a race of grey-skinned beings, stunted and with big heads. In his 1901 book The First Men in the Moon, Selenites, or natives of the Moon, are described as having grey skin, big heads, large black eyes and wasp stings. He also briefly describes aliens resembling Greys brought down to Earth as food by the antagonists of his more popular novel The War of the Worlds.

In 1933, the Swedish novelist Gustav Sandgren, using the pen name Gabriel Linde, published a science fiction novel called Den okända faran (The Unknown Danger), where he describes a race of extraterrestrials: ” the creatures did not resemble any race of humans. They were short, shorter than the average Japanese, and their heads were big and bald, with strong, square foreheads, and very small noses and mouths, and weak chins. What was most extraordinary about them were the eyes – large, dark, gleaming, with a sharp gaze. They wore clothes made of soft grey fabric, and their limbs seemed to be similar to those of humans.” The novel was aimed at young readers, and it included illustrations of the aliens.

In 1965, newspaper reports of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction brought Greys to international attention. The alleged abductees, Betty and Barney Hill, claimed to have been abducted by alien beings and taken to a saucer-shaped spaceship in 1961. The term “Greys” did not come into usage until many years later, but the alleged beings described by Betty and Barney Hill generally fit many of the common traits of what we now call Greys. From a star chart reported by Betty Hill, an elementary school teacher and amateur astronomer, Marjorie Fish, concluded that the home planet of these beings was located in the Zeta Reticuli star system (their home planet is alleged to be the fourth planet of the second star of Reticulum). The Greys are therefore sometimes known as Zeta Reticulans.

During the early 1980s Greys were linked in popular culture to the alleged crash landing of a flying saucer in Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947, by a number of publications which contained statements from individuals who claimed to have seen the U.S. military handling a number of unusually proportioned, bald, child-sized corpses. These individuals claimed that the corpses had over-sized heads and slanted eyes—but scant other facial features—during and after the incident.

In 1987, popular novelist Whitley Strieber published the book Communion, in which he describes a number of close encounters he purports to have experienced with Greys and other extraterrestrial beings. The book became a New York Times bestseller, and a film adaption starring Christopher Walken was released in 1989.

During the 1990s, popular culture began to increasingly link Greys to a number of military-industrial complex/New World Order conspiracy theories.

A well known example of this was the FOX television series The X-Files, which first aired in 1993. It combined the quest to find proof of the existence of Grey-like extraterrestrials with a number of UFO conspiracy theory subplots, in order to form its primary story arc. Other notable examples include Dark Skies, first broadcast in 1996, which expanded upon the MJ-12 conspiracy, and Stargate SG-1 which in the 1998 episode “Thor’s Chariot” introduced the Asgard, a race of beneficent Greys who visited ancient Earth masquerading as characters from Norse Mythology.

In 1995 film maker Ray Santilli claimed to have obtained 22 reels of 16 mm film that depicted the autopsy of a “real” Grey that was said to have been recovered from the site of the 1947 incident in Roswell, New Mexico. However, in 2006 Santilli announced that the film was not original, but was instead a “reconstruction” created after the original film was found to have degraded. He maintained that a real Grey had been found and autopsied on camera in 1947, and that the footage released to the public contained a percentage of that original footage, but he was unable to say what that percentage was. This incident became the subject of the British comedy film Alien Autopsy, starring television presenters Ant & Dec.

Greys, referred to as ‘visitors’, also appear in South Park as important characters in the first and the hundredth episode, as well as many cameos throughout the series, mostly in the backgrounds of scenes. The comedy film Scary Movie 3 also includes Greys as the main extraterrestrials. They are also frequently depicted on the TV series Robot Chicken.

Roger Smith, a regular character on the animated comedy series American Dad! since its debut in 2005, is a Grey-like alien.

Paul, from the 2011 film Paul, is a Grey, and attributes their frequent presence in science-fiction pop culture to his secretive influence while being held captive by the US government.

In close encounter claims and ufology

Greys are commonly included in alien abduction claims and are a focus of ufology, with attributes that may differ from those described above. These claims include two distinct groups of Greys that differ in height. Abductees say that they recognize the leader of their abductors by its “demeanor.” Some ufologists and abduction researchers believe that taller Greys, with their reported increased authority and apparently more complex psychology may be the only Grey type to be biologically alive and that the shorter form could be their artificially constructed robot or cyborg servants.

Some alien abduction reports have depicted variant skin colors such as blue-grey, green-grey, or purple-grey and sometimes not grey at all. The skin is typically described as being extremely smooth, almost as if made of an artificial material like rubber or plastic.

Abduction claims are often described as extremely traumatic, similar to an abduction by humans or even a sexual assault in the level of trauma and distress. (Research has shown that emotional impact of perceived abduction can be as great as or even greater than those of combat, sexual abuse, and other traumatic events.)

The eyes are often a focus of abduction claims. They are said to not move or focus in any observable way from the naked eye. Claims often describe a Grey staring into the eyes of an abductee when conducting mental procedures. This staring is claimed to induce hallucinogenic states or directly provoke different emotions. Although abduction claimants often say that the Grey was only inches from their face during the staring mindscan procedure, they often do not subsequently claim feeling breath or seeing the Grey’s chest move from breathing.

Psychocultural expression of intelligence

Neurologist Dr. Steven Novella argues that the idea is a byproduct of the human imagination, with the Greys’ most distinctive features representing everything that modern humans traditionally link with intelligence. “The aliens, however, do not just appear as humans, they appear like humans with those traits we psychologically associate with intelligence.”

The “Mother Hypothesis”

In 2005, Frederick V. Malmstrom, writing in Skeptic magazine, vol. 11 issue 4, presents his hypothesis that Greys are actually residual memories of early childhood development. Malmstrom reconstructs the face of a Grey through transformation of a mother’s face based on our best understanding of early childhood sensation and perception. Malmstrom’s study offers a possible alternative to the existence of Greys, the intense instinctive response many people experience when presented an image of a Grey, and the ease of regression hypnosis and recovered memory therapy in “recovering” memories of alien abduction experiences, along with their common themes.

Evolutionary feasibility debate

According to English reproductive biologist Jack Cohen, the typical image of a Grey, given that it would have evolved on a world with different environmental and ecological conditions from Earth, is too physiologically similar to a human to be credible as a representation of an alien. Their physical structure has been sometimes viewed as supporting the Panspermia theory of origins, although the “parallel evolution” required is not scientifically plausible. The “parallel evolution” concept, utilized as a plot device by Star Trek writers Gene Roddenberry and Gene Coon and referred to as “Hodgkins Law of Parallel Planet Development”. However, even this fictional theory does not explain such remarkable Grey-human similarities as the facial geometry, the apparent sternal-xiphoidal process, the evident pectoral-trapezial architecture, and the number of toes per foot.

One theory that could explain such seemingly impossible coincidences is the idea that extraterrestrial beings had some influence on the evolution of life on Earth in the distant past, specifically that extraterrestrials were directly involved in the evolution of primates, including humans. This was supposedly done by genetic engineering, cross-breeding, or a combination of both. This idea, regarded as nonsense by the mainstream science community, first gained widespread exposure with the 1968 publication of Chariots of the Gods? by Erich von Däniken and has since been the source of much controversy, and has inspired numerous other books with various related theories.

Proponents of this theory of alien genetic/evolutionary intervention on Earth argue that if the Greys (or similar beings) were performing genetic manipulations and/or experiments with pre-human life forms on Earth, then it would be logical, and perhaps almost expected, that these alleged aliens may have attempted to influence the evolution of life forms here in a direction consistent with their own genetic makeup, and similar to their own physiology and general physical structure, since genetically that is what they would presumably be most familiar with.

Since there is no evidence of what types of life or physiology might evolve on other habitable planets, no way to accurately gauge the likelihood or unlikelihood of coincidences in evolution on two separate planets, and no conclusive evidence of any alleged past extraterrestrial genetic manipulation in our own evolution, the debate over the evolutionary feasibility of the Greys (or any other bipedal, humanoid extraterrestrial species) is ultimately nothing more than speculation on both sides.

Conspiracy theories

Some conspiracy theorists believe that Greys represent part of a government-led disinformation or plausible deniability campaign, or that they are a product of government mind control experiments.Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, head of CSETI, and a prominent UFO conspiracy theorist, claims to have over 400 “government, military, and intelligence community witnesses” that have offered testimony to the existence of aliens and UFO and/or efforts to cover up their existence and who have stated that they would be willing to defend their claims under oath.

Alien Invasion Imminent? Summer Sees a Spike in UFO Sightings

Is an alien invasion imminent? The past six weeks have seen a spike in UFO sightings in the United States, according to an organization that tracks reports of unidentified flying objects.

The Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) reports that there were 1,013 such sightings in August, up from an average of about 500 per month nationwide.

“It’s pretty exciting,” Clifford Clift, the international director of MUFON, told Life’s Little Mysteries last week. “[T]hat’s an interesting spike in sighting reports.”

There might be several different explanations for the increase in UFO sightings, according to Clift—an actual alien invasion is just one possibility.

Clift told Life’s Little Mysteries that UFO sightings periodically increase from time to time—when a big cluster of sightings happens in a short time, it’s called a “UFO flap.” One reason for this might be a psychological phenomenon called “priming.”

When popular culture is focused on UFOs, sightings of them tend to rise alongside the increase in books, movies, and television shows about such objects, he said.

“It’s likely that the media and [alien-themed] movies that are coming out, like Apollo 18 and Paul, are piquing people’s interest in UFOs,” Clift said.

Another possible reason for more sightings is that people are outdoors more in the summer, focusing more eyeballs on the night sky than during other times of the year and increasing sightings of the various objects that tend to get reported as UFOs—airplanes, shooting stars, satellites, weather balloons, and who knows, maybe even alien spacecraft.

There also could be some duplication of sightings going on, according to MUFON. Clift said his organization was still examining the data on UFO sighting reports from recent weeks, with an eye towards determining if during the summer months there had been many reports of many different objects or many reports of the same object, which could be the case if a few objects happened to be spotted in more populated areas.

Human Looking Aliens… Among Us – Interview with Timothy Good by Paula Harris

PH: You have so much work and so much research that I’m going to focus on the human-alien question because it’s the one that’s cropped up in Italy right now with the two books that are out, talking about underwater bases and human-type aliens. Why do you think civilization has commercialized the one face, the one image of the alien being, the EBE, the extraterrestrial biological entity?
TG: Because the ones who look like humans are not dramatic enough.
PH: What have you learned about the extraterrestrial presence on Earth?
TG: In the last chapter of Unearthly Disclosure I discuss the revelations that I’ve learned from military and intelligence personnel regarding the status quo. And that information dates back to the late 1980’s, about 1989. So it’s a bit out of date, but very significant. I was told that aliens have long-established bases here, that they’ve been here for a very long time.
PH: So you were talking about the end of this book having these conclusions.
TG: Yes. I was given a great deal of information pertaining to alien bases on this planet which are in specific locations in the United States.
PH: Do you mention it?
TG: Yes. One in Australia, and two in the Pacific, that there are large bases in the Pacific Ocean and some in the Bermuda area, in the Caribbean there’s one.
PH: These are also cities, right? Entire cities?
TG: I wouldn’t know, I haven’t seen them.
PH: But what does your information say?
TG: If you look also at the information supplied by the Venezuelan contactee, I’ve forgotten his name – Enrique Castro Rincon and he was taken in the late 1970’s to two alien bases, one of which was in the Andes.The other was in the Marianus Trench, which is the deepest part of the Pacific Ocean.This goes down 11,000 meters, and somewhere in the face of the trench there was a very large alien base which he described as like huge undersea globes which were completely self-contained, with plants and human-type beings.
PH: When I say base, Timothy, I’m thinking of a military base, because people are thinking that aliens have military bases.
TG: Well, a base doesn’t have to be military, does it? I mean, you can have a base camp.
PH: Yes, but when people think of a base, they think of a military base.
TG: Well, they shouldn’t.
PH: So I want to establish that when you and I are talking about bases, we mean a place where they are.
TG: I would also suggest that many of these beings have been on this planet a great deal longer than we have. So they’re not just visiting, they’re people that have been on this planet longer than Homo Sapiens and in fact were responsible for our development. We are a hybridized race.
PH: And they’re not all greys.
TG: Not at all.
PH: This is what I want to get out to the people.
TG: They’re a different species.
PH: They’re a different species, and a great number of them are humanoid.
TG: Certainly.
PH: And some of them could possibly pass for humans.
TG: Definitely.
PH: And this is the thing that people can’t get across in their minds. They want to stamp aliens as a stereotypical little grey with big eyes, and that’s all that’s on this planet, and that’s it. But that isn’t the case.
TG: There are many different types, and some of them are certainly humanoid, related to us genetically.
PH: What does this contactee say? What were they like?
TG: They were very cool, emotionally, with him. There were men and women there. He met them over a period of several years. He befriended this guy who was actually posing as a Swiss businessman, met him in South America. He was a sales rep for men’s aftershave lotion and things like that.Enrique befriended this guy over a long period, thought he was a very interesting person, rather strange behavior, but then later on he, Enrique, was beamed on board a craft that had come out of a lake in South America. I don’t recall the exact location. And there was this guy, who he thought was a Swiss businessman.
PH: This sounds familiar. We’ve got to follow this up. It is an interesting case that this man, who looked like a Swiss businessman was one of them.
TG: I had my own encounter, so I can speak from experience that the people –
PH: Can you go into more detail?
TG: Well, I published this in some of my stories. For example, in 1967 I was with the London Symphony Orchestra in New York. I’d already met some friends of George Adamski, who said that these beings were living here, and I’d already had an experience in 1963 in America with a woman who telepathically confirmed that she was from elsewhere when I asked her in my mind.The same thing happened in New York in February 1967. I sent out a thought that I would like some proof that there are beings from other worlds living here and working here, and after about half an hour this guy comes into my New York hotel.He was about five feet ten inches, immaculately dressed in a dark grey suit, white shirt, dark tie, with slightly wavy hair, slightly tanned skin, very intelligent looking. What I had done was, before this had happened I had sat down in the lobby and said in my mind,“if there are any of you guys in the New York area, come down and sit next to me and prove it”.And as I say, about half an hour later this guy came in and sat down beside me. He had an attaché case with him, and he opened it very deliberately, took out the New York Times, turned the pages over like this, folded the paper, put the paper back and sat there like that. So I thought, this man is right here. I thought in my mind,“If you are from another world, take your right index finger and hold it to the right side of your nose, and keep it there.”And immediately I thought that, he did just that then got up and went back out.
PH: What book is that recorded in?
TG: Alien Bases. So anyway, there were a few other encounters. The one with the woman was in 1963. People have said to me, why didn’t you talk to these people? And I said, I don’t know why I didn’t talk to them. Last year, I won’t go into all the details, but I had the opportunity to talk to someone who I believe could have been from elsewhere.
PH: Can you tell what country you were in when this other incident happened?
TG: Europe will do. I had the conviction that this man was from elsewhere. This time there was no telepathic confirmation but I was convinced that this man was from elsewhere, and I actually put out my hand. He barely touched it, he looked at me. I looked him full in the face and I said,“I think that you have a great deal of knowledge.”He didn’t say a word and that was it. It’s very poor evidence compared to the previous one, but you get to know little characteristics of how these people operate.
PH: We don’t have a base of study for human-type aliens. So we’re talking about evidence, there are very few people who dare to talk about them. So we don’t have any kind of protocol in place. My book (Exopolitics – How Does One Speak to a Ball Of Light) talks about the Einstein-Oppenheimer document, the Majestic-12 letter where they talk about the future, getting together and making protocols for these people who come and visit. The question is “who should represent Earth” and that was in 1947 that Einstein and Oppenheimer tried to give that letter to President Truman.
TG: Is that true?
PH: You need to read what was said, because it was very interesting. It is in the Majestic Documents.
TG: I have read them. Tim Cooper sent them to me years ago.
PH: It says that there had to be a “super-United Nations” in place to represent Earth because there was no one country that could represent the human species. It said that these people could have cultures. The date was June 1947, which was way before Roswell.
TG: Well, we’d recovered craft before. There was one in 1945 in New Mexico, apparently, there was one in 1941 in Missouri apparently. There was a Hawaiian one in 1944 the United States Navy recovered a craft. Also, of course, Italy in 1933. There’s a reproduction of the document.
PH: The Mussolini X-File?
TG: Yes. That was just one example of the 1933 telegram
PH: You have so much work and so much research that I’m going to focus on the human-alien question because it’s the one that’s cropped up in Italy right now with the two books that are out, talking about underwater bases and human-type aliens. Why do you think civilization has commercialized the one face, the one image of the alien being, the EBE, the extraterrestrial biological entity?
TG: Because the ones who look like humans are not dramatic enough.
PH: But it’s caused a lot of people to dismiss Adamski.
TG: Adamski was right on a great deal of stuff, and he also worked for the United States government. Did you know that?
PH: No, I didn’t.
TG: He had a government Ordinance Department – it’s in Alien Base, you can read about it.
PH: Is that why he was buried at Arlington?
TG: He was buried at Arlington because he’d served in the military. This was around the early 1900’s. So anyone who has served in the military can be buried at Arlington, there’s nothing mysterious about that.
PH: Adamski’s basic message was that they’re here, they’re humanoid, they’re like us, and they have to visit all the major powers, including the Vatican.
TG: They did. Adamski did visit the Pope in May of 1963, that’s for sure.
PH: With a definite message.
TG: Yes. From the people he was in contact with, from other worlds. He was also the first to say that aliens were liaising with some of our military people. He first said that in the 1950’s.
PH: Okay, well, Adamski was concurrent with Eugenio Siragusa from Sicily.
TG: Another very interesting contactee. He went a bit peculiar later one, but of course it’s a difficult thing for people to live with.
PH: The contactee whose story I am researching now is named Maurizio Cavallo and he was one of Siragusa’s people. He was thirteen years old and was in Sicily. In that group, was also Giorgio Buongiovanni with Maurizio Cavallo. And Cavallo says that he actually saw the tall blonds with the blue outfits walking around Siragusa’s home under Mt. Etna.
TG: I’ve written about a lot of those earlier Italian cases from the 1950’s. They are absolutely fascinating and very, very important I think.
PH: But Timothy, he has four letters from President Eisenhower. I have one of them in my new book.
TG: Exactly. They’re very interesting cases. And there’s a new book, I gather, that’s in English, about the Italian contactees of that period, which I’m hoping to buy while I’m here.
PH: Because Siragusa had this contact, and Adamski had this contact, why would Eisenhower write to him?
TG: I don’t know, I haven’t seen the letter.
PH: I have it. It’s genuine. There are four of them.
TG: Is he still alive?
PH: No, but his wife and son are still there and are giving out his material. Of the four letters, I have a Xerox copy of one. It’s very cordial. It’s got Eisenhower’s name at the top, and he just says something generic like “Yes, we will do the best we can, we’re hoping for your best interests” and so forth. It’s signed with his signature. Are you one of the researchers who believes that Eisenhower had contact?
TG: Definitely. But I can’t comment on the letter, because I haven’t seen it.
PH: Then that would make sense. I can send you a copy of this letter so you can see it. What would Eisenhower be doing writing to an Italian contactee?
TG: I feel certain there is a base in the Mediterranean.
PH: So in the 1950’s and 1960’s there was an attempt by human-looking aliens, and let’s leave Billy Meier aside, to contact humanity and that is generally dismissed because they’re human-looking.
TG: Yep. Those are the facts as they are related to us. They are our older brothers, if you like. They’ve been here much longer than we have.
PH: I agree with you. How do we change this around, since the contact has already happened?
TG: I don’t know, I think it’s going to have to come from evidence, maybe scientific evidence of previous civilizations. We talk about Atlantis and Lemuria. Maybe some real, solid evidence will emerge sometime in the future.
PH: Do you think our governments know that some of them look like us?
TG: Well, when you talk about governments, you have to realize that very few people in governments know what’s going on. It’s such a sensitive subject that it’s very, very restricted. But those few in governments who do have access to the information, are very well aware that there are communications and contacts with some military people, certainly some scientists, and maybe a few other ordinary human beings as well. And they have been going on for a very, very long time, maybe for thousands of years.
PH: Do you think that any of these individuals or groups that look like us, have been cooperating with a lot of the advanced engineering?
TG: I think it’s possible, yes. But to what degree, I don’t know. It’s quite possible that we have allies, friends who have been helping us develop more efficient ways of transportation. I do not know for sure. I hear rumors that they have given us weaponry. I think Canadian ex minister of Defense Paul Hellyer sort of indicated that we were preparing for Star Wars, a war in space, and he was very worried about all that. That would be very worrying, I think, if that’s true. But there are indications that there is a threat posed by some species, that’s for sure.
PH: That means they’re not all positive. That’s important to note. Last question, is there a spiritual message here, and what would it be?
TG: That we are spiritual beings, and there is a link with these people going back millennia, and there will be positive signs on the horizon for a tremendous advance in human understanding of our place in the universe.
PH: So there’s still hope.
TG: There’s the potential there, definitely, yes. One has to think positively.
PH: Is this one of the reasons why you’re still in the field, and working so hard at disclosure?
TG: Possibly. I don’t know for sure, but I’m driven. It’s what I’m here to do, so I do it. Maybe that’s the reason.

The unexplained disappearance of Frederick Valentich

The existence of aliens has been a hot button topic of debate for a long time. While many people can comfortably acknowledge the fact that

given the vast expanse of universe around us, alien life is likely, those same people are hard pressed to entertain the thought of aliens actually hopping in their intergalactic craft and hovering down to earth for a friendly (or not so friendly) visit. Alien encounters are hard to find in legitimate historical records, but they do exist. One of the strangest documented accounts is the infamous Valentich Disappearance.

On October 21st, 1978 Frederick Valentich was flying his Cessna 821L airplane on a 125 mile training flight over Bass Strait, en route to King Island, Australia, when he told the air traffic controllers that he had just been buzzed by a UFO. Frederick said the ship had a green light, and wondered if he was being harassed by a military jet or if someone was playing a practical joke on him. Valentich reported that there was something wrong with his plane engine, and that the ship in question was hovering and definitely not a regular aircraft. Next there were strange metallic scraping sounds, and that was it – that was the last time anyone saw or heard from Frederick Vaentich. After a two week investigation, the Department of Transport determined they could not explain Valentich’s disappearance.

That same evening, numerous Australian citizens called in UFO sightings, many of them reporting a strange green light in the sky, lending a certain amount of credibility to Valentich’s distress call and creating quite the buzz around the incident, especially from UFO enthusiasts. There were even some eye witnesses who watched Valentich’s plane fly overhead, trailed by a green light.

Despite his father’s assertion that Fred was not the type of person to make up stories, some skeptics suggest that Valentich staged his own disappearance and safely landed the plane elsewhere. While this is certainly possible, it seems unlikely that someone would pull a publicity stunt and then never return to claim his attention. If Fred was running from someone or something and wanted to vanish, an elaborate UFO hoax (that most would not believe) to cover it up makes far less sense than simply claiming engine trouble.

A more reasonable claim from skeptics is that Fred simply lost his bearings, imagined something strange, and crashed into the sea. Some say that Fred saw the strange lights because he was flying his plane upside down and saw his plane’s reflection in the water. But how does that explain the eye witness accounts corroborating Fred’s story?

While a UFO does not always mean aliens, many people are convinced that outer space creatures were directly responsible for the unexplained disappearance of Frederick Valentich. UFO stands for unidentified flying object, and does not specify what type of creature is flying the thing – it could be human or otherwise. After looking through the evidence, it seems clear that Fred was indeed trailed by a strange green light just before he vanished without a trace, and it’s easy to understand why Fred called it a UFO – after all, it was a flying object that he could not identify.

One alternative explanation that actually does make sense is that Fred was, for whatever reason, stalked by an advanced military aircraft and ended up either dead or permanently missing because of it. Conspiracy theorists claim that the government’s technology is at least fifty years more advanced than anything the public is allowed to see, and maybe for a few minutes Fred got to see it.

Controversial “alien” photo emerges

An amazing photo surfaced online on Thursday, August 25, 2011 that reportedly shows two aliens hiding among the rocks on Ilkley Moor. Ilkley Moor is part of Rombalds Moor, the moorland between Ilkley and Keighley in West Yorkshire, England, United Kingdom.

The photo shows cloudy gray skies above the rugged terrain of the moor. Large rocks, boulders, or other landscape features can be seen in the distance. Two small specks are visible between the two most distant rock formations. There isn’t a UFO in sight.

More details of those two small specks are visible when the photo is zoomed in. Upon closer inspection, the two objects appear to be humanoid figures or creatures with large triangular shaped heads and disproportionately large eyes typical of most people’s concept of an alien. Amazingly, the photographer didn’t even notice the aliens until she loaded the photo onto her computer.

YouTube user suesill1 took the photo and posted it on her YouTube channel. In a video that lasts 15 seconds, she shows the original photo as well as a closer look of the two alien creatures with the following description:

The same person who photographed the two aliens on the moor also has nearly 22 minutes of UFO video footage from August 23, 2011. The YouTube user who posted it online describes the footage as: “a video taken pointing up into the sky, loads of strange orbs and a fake plane, weird cloud anomaly … daylight hours … very busy skies.”
