Was JFK assassinated because of his interest in aliens? [1] A recently released memo shows that The President asked to see UFO files 10 days before death. This very scenario was a central part and key plot element of one of my favorite TV shows of all time, the great series Dark Skies by Bryce Zabel. In Dark Skies, JFK was assassinated after demanding to see Majestic's files on the Roswell "incident."
A letter written by President Kennedy to the head of the CIA shows that the president demanded to be shown confidential documents a week before before his assassination. The memo is one of two letters written by JFK asking for information about the paranormal on November 12, 1963.[2] These letters have been released by the CIA for the first time. Of course, the CIA may have its own reasons for this. Many of the JFK conspiracy people have pointed a finger at the Central Intelligence Agency ever since the day he was assassinated.
Author William Lester said the CIA released the documents to him under a Freedom of Information Act request he made as he researched his new book 'A Celebration of Freedom: JFK and the New Frontier.' Alien researchers say the latest documents add weight to earlier suggestions that JFK was shot to prevent him discovering the truth about UFOs, and an alien invasion that may have already been underway.
As a sidenote, after he became President, Bill Clinton asked his Assistant Attorney General, Webster Hubbell, to investigate two things. “One, who killed JFK? And two, are there UFOs?” Bryce Zabel writes on the website After Disclosure about Bill Clinton's request: "Clinton may not have realized how closely the two questions may have been connected."[3]
Zabel also said"The Kennedy assassination is something like Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. Everyone had a motive: the Mafia, the CIA, the Cubans, the Pentagon, the Soviets, and the Federal Reserve, for starters. Could that list also include Majestic Twelve, the name often ascribed to the powerful insiders who control the UFO secret?
"My answer to that question is, why not?
_________________
[1] As many JFK conspiracy theorists have pointed out--although they admittedly generally have their one pet theory--everyone had a motive.
[2] JFK researcher Professor Lawrence Merrick, author of an upcoming blockbuster book Killing the Messenger: The Death of JFK, writes that JFK planned to give a speech that began "Citizens of this Earth, we are not alone." John F. Kennedy planned to inform the American public and the world at large that the U.S. government had made contact with aliens from deep space.
Many people in the UFO community, and elsewhere believe this sighting, and video, to be "one of the most significant UFO videos of all time." The footage also shows two extraterrestrials on tape. The sighting/incident took place in a compound in Kumburgaz/Istanbul and was witnessed by nearly a dozen residents and filmed by a night guard (unfortunately I missed it, although I was in the vicinity last summer). The images captured are expected to have a tremendous impact throughout the world and be listed as the most important UFO/extraterrestrial images ever filmed.
As is often the case, thanks to Jeff Clinton for the tip...Jeff is often rumored to be the progeny of President William Jefferson Clinton. He is no blood relation to the soon-to-be Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. . .
Thanks to Jeff Clinton for sending this on. I'd read about them before, and heard rumblings--but they actually seem far more nefarious than I'd been led to believe. Jeff Sharlet doesn't seem to be a nut at all--he's an editor at Harper's. This is not some wack job raving about Obama's birth certificate, his indoctrination at a Madrasah, or about which government agency bombed the WTC. This seems quite real. And spooky.
Jeff Clinton sent us this interesting image. Exactly what are French First Lady Carla Bruni, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, and US First Lady Michelle Obama measuring?
Robert The Doll just about had to be the inspiration for the Twilight Zone episodes "Living Doll" and another one I remember but can't track down (it was probably in Night Gallery). In "Lucky Doll," the doll says "My name is Talky Tina, and I'm going to kill you."
Robert clearly spawned Chucky. Just about every TV horror series does a doll story sometime [1], or a few times, in their run. Thanks to frequent paranormal, alien lore, and news of the bizarre tipster, Jeff Clinton, for this one. I had heard of Robert a few times before, but never dug in until Jeff hooked me up.
In Key West, FLA, there is a history museum inside a fort. In the fort "lives" Robert, the Haunted Doll. He was made, or maybe bought, by a family servant for a five year old, Gene Otto, in 1904. From early on, people claimed that Robert was a disturbing presence, His eye blinks, giggles, and moans have been written about over the last hundred years. Wherever he's "lived." there have been reports of strange doings.
Robert the Doll photo by Rob O'Neal, Key West Art & Historical Society press release dated September 20, 2004.
Gene Otto died in 1974. Robert ended up in a glass case in the museum. robertthedoll.org says (supported by many letters from witnesses) that he doesn’t like to have his picture taken. He may drain the battery or jam you camera, or create other small misfortunes during your visit. Of course most people report no problem taking his picture. Robert may roil the waters, but he is no Chucky, or Living Doll.
[1] Some TV/movie Doll types you may have seen: 1. Dolls made to replicate a lost loved one, such as a child, spouse or sibling. 2. Dolls made from human components, dead or...maybe not. ... 3. A dollmaker or owner prefers them over humans (thinking here of Gepetteo and Pinocchio). 4. Dolls possessed by a malevolent spirit, that have become sentient/animated and actively malevolent. (Chucky).
Thanks to Jeff Clinton,our Number One paranormal and bizarre happenings tipster.
Over the last few years, a lot of fascinating news and images have emerged from Russia and the former Soviet Union. And this, like much of the news and images, is both difficult to pin down and incredible to imagine happening in what was then an extremely tightly-controlled society. Neither Jeff nor I can determine if this is just an excellent PhotoShop hoax, or "real," whatever real actually means.
Gizmodo--whom I tend to believe--pronounces these images as excellent fakes (and say and, "like all good lies, there's a some truth in this story").
"According to recently unearthed—and completely fake—scientific papers posted in Russian forum Stepashka, the Soviets took over where the Nazis and Dr. Frankenstein left it: During the 1950s, a team of communist scientists from Moscow University and the Soviet Academy of Sciences led by Dr. Vladimir Demikhov worked on the creation of a giant robot controlled by a dog head in secret facilities created by Joseph Stalin."
Vladimir Petrovich Demikhov was an actual Soviet scientist (and one of the first people to believe that human lung and heart transplants were possible). He was both a latter day Frankenstein/madman and a scientific visionary. He performed bizarre experiments with dog heads--including keeping them alive, separated from their bodies, and transplanting them to other dog bodies. And just maybe, created a DogBot. . .
Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt,and self-described free speech activist, is offering $1 million for anyone who will provide him with Mitt Romney's financial records. In the past he has offered $1 million for various celebrities to pose naked, for evidence refuting the Warren Commission report, for evidence that Presidential candidate Rick Perry was guilty of infidelity, and during the Clinton impeachment trial, for evidence any of the committee members had been guilty of similar transgressions.
Flynt, 69, purchased full-page ads in Sunday's Washington Post and the Tuesday, September 11, issue of USA Today. "What is he hiding?" the ad text reads. "Maybe, now, we'll find out." The ad also includes a phone number and email address where anyone with information can contact Flynt (at http://larryflynt.com/).
An excellent video of the then First Lady...she not only encountered sniper fire in Bosnia, she returned it. Thanks to Jeff Clinton for finding this YouTube video...
65 percent of Americans say that President Obama is better suited to handle an alien invasion than ExGovernor Mitt Romney. You can read the story here, on Yahoo. We have written numerous articles on Presidents and UFOs over the years...a selection of those articles appear below.

Thanks to Jeff Clinton, as always, for another great UFO/Grey tip.
This clip was posted recently on YouTube by All News Web "The World's Only Inter-Galactic Daily News Service." The video shows two Russian men walking up to, and videotaping, what seems to be the body of a Grey. They say they discovered the decomposed body near Irkutsk, north of the Mongolian border. This clip has become a mega-hit on YouTube, with more than 1.7 million views in a couple of days.
All News Web's Michael Cohen wrote that Irkutsk residents witnessed a UFO crashing into the forest, but--natch--though the event was "deliberately kept from public view" in the West.
"An enormous team of government officials, including military personal, secret service agents and science ministry officials made their way to the UFO crash site within hours of the event occurring," Cohen wrote.
Some of the most compelling alien lore in the last couple of years has emerged from Eastern Europe, "Russia," England and France. This story is no exception. Thanks to Jeff Clinton for once again alerting us to another fascinating story.
Luchezar Filipov, a deputy head of the Space Exploration department within the BAS, recently told reporters that "they (the aliens) are here right now, among us". He said that, although there is little awareness of their presence, they are conducting surveillance and research on Earth.
The scientist said that they are not hostile in any way; on the contrary, they are friendly and willing to help us. Unfortunately, due to our lack of evolution and development, we are unable to conduct any coherent form of conversation with this superior life form. "They want to help us, but the problem is that we don't know what to ask of them once a contact is established," Filipov told Dnes daily.
Filipov reckons that it will be impossible to try and track extraterrestrial life with our current radar equipment, or through the usage of radio telescopes. Apparently, the aliens were "categorical" that any future means of contact between us and them would be conducted through mental power and telepathy.
"The aliens are very critical of our immoral behaviour and our destruction of the environment. They say that global warming is attributed mainly to infrastructural engineering. Additionally, they are very skeptical of our use of cosmetics, and artificial insemination because this is 'unnatural,'" Filipov said.
According to Filipov, his team of scientists are currently analysing the answers to their questions from the interactions with the visitors. The scientists aim to have a coherent "strategic plan" pertaining to questions which they will put forward to the extraterrestrials in their next meeting, which is said to be in the spring of 2010, Dnes reported.
Work on deciphering a complex set of symbols sent to them is underway, scientists from the country's Space Research Institute said. They claim aliens are currently answering 30 questions posed to them.
Lachezar Filipov, deputy director of the Space Research Institute of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, confirmed the research. He said the centre's researchers were analyzing 150 crop circles from around the world, which they believe answer the questions.
"Aliens are currently all around us, and are watching us all the time," Mr Filipov told Bulgarian media. "They are not hostile towards us, rather, they want to help us but we have not grown enough in order to establish direct contact with them."
Mr Filipov said that even the seat of the Catholic church, the Vatican, had agreed that aliens existed. [Ed's note: this is true. The pontiff recently acknowledged the possibility, and likelihood of the existence of alien life.]
He said humans were not going to be able to establish contact with the extraterrestrials through radio waves but through the power of thought.
"The human race was certainly going to have direct contact with the aliens in the next 10 to 15 years," he said. "Extraterrestrials are critical of the people's amoral behavior referring to the humans' interference in nature's processes." ---o0o---
Ben Evans reported for the Associated Press yesterday that Christine O'Donnell of Delaware, in a 2006 debate, claimed that China was plotting to take over America. She drew this conclusion from classified information, the source of which she wouldn't disclose. She later alluded that this "classified" information came from nonprofit groups that sent sent missionaries to China. Neither O'Donnell, nor the nonprofit religious group, of course, hold any U.S. government security clearances. Her bizarre claim was made in a 2006 Republican Senate primary debate. O'Donnell subsequently lost that primary.
Specifically, Christine O'D said China had a "carefully thought out and strategic plan to take over America." She even accused one of her opponents of appeasement for saying that China and the U.S. should find a way to be allies. "We have to look at our history and realize that if they pretend to be our friend it's because they've got something up their sleeve."
One of her, saner and more thoughtful opponents--Jan Ting-- said "I think our China policy has to be handled very carefully," Ting said. "We have the capability of making an enemy or a friend out of China."
On the basis of these third-hand reports from some half-baked Jehovah's Witnesses and evangelical missionaries, O'Donnell is perfectly happy to place China in the enemies column. ---o0o---
The Antikythera Mechanism has buffaloed scientists and technologists ever since sponge divers found it on a sea floor almost 110 years ago. As a largely unexplained mystery, it has also inflamed the UFOlogists. Was it the work of brilliant ancient Greek Scientists, or a gift from our cousins, The Greys? Well, I'm really good either way. As an even potential contribution from the Greys, it qualifies for inclusion as another tidbit of Alien Lore. . .
The Antikythera mechanism may be an ancient Greek sort-of-clockwork device that has taken longer than a hundred years to understand. And we still don't really understand it. The mechanism is housed in the Greek National Archaeological Museum in the Greek capital and is regarded to be the single most complex antiquity in existence. I saw it at the museum in Athens two years ago, but really didn't think a lot about it until Jeff Clinton recently pointed out several articles and videos about the science and origins of the device.
The question you have to ask: were the ancients really smarter than us (in that we haven't figured it out yet), or was the device something left behind by Our Cousins, The Greys? Anytime we can't really explain why or how something happened, there is a group of people who will attribute it to aliens, or The Greys. Gene Rodenberry was particularly cranky about this--saying something to the effect that every time we can't explain something, or we find something particularly brilliant and ancient, people say it came from the aliens. It's didn't, he said, we're smart!
The Great Pyramids are often attributed as the work of Visitors. Rodenberry believed this happens because we somehow can't accept that our forebears weren't just knuckle-dragging troglodytes. They were, in fact, smart--wickedly smart. So smart that this device used some of the same techniques and technology that we wouldn't come around to until we began to construct the first serious and powerful analog (e.g., mechanical) computers in the 20th century.
Research is still ongoing--we keep learning from and analyzing the device. The device is stunningly complex. People originally thought it was some sort of clock, but when Greek inscriptions were found using advanced technology, it turned out to be an engine for predicting eclipses and moon phases and the positions of the planets. Scientists say it seems to be 1,000 years ahead of its time.
On the other hand, the device seems to mainly track the five planets known at that time. Wouldn't The Greys, having flown to earth, been aware of the other planets in our little solar system?
From various articles, you learn that the machine was able to perform computational tasks 1400 years or so before the time when crude machines of this sort probably appeared. What sort of tasks? Well, using 37 gears or so, it can do subtractions, multiplications and divisions to show the cycles of the moon, predict eclipses, and who knows what else? It even has an adjustment you can make for Leap Day, since the calendar it employs requires you to catch up with reality once every four years.
From The Wikipedia:The mechanism is the oldest known complex scientific calculator. It contains many gears, and is sometimes called the first known analog computer,[8] although its flawless manufacturing suggests that it may have had a number of predecessors during the Hellenistic Period which have not yet been discovered.[9] It appears to be constructed upon theories of astronomy and mathematics developed by Greek astronomers and it is estimated that it was made around 150-100 BC.
The most recent findings of The Antikythera Mechanism Research Project, as published in the July 30, 2008, edition of Nature also suggest that the concept for the mechanism originated in the colonies of Corinth. We know the Corinthians were no 'tards.
When a date was entered via a crank (which we did not recover), the mechanism calculated the position of the Sun, Moon, or other astronomical information such as the location of other planets. Not bad,

On September 14th, 1994, a UFO blew across the skies of Southern Africa. Days later, something fell, or landed, in a Ruwa, Zimbabwe schoolyard, as well as a few smaller objects, according to journalist (and book author, and UFOlogist) Cynthia Hind, and Harvard psychiatry professor John Mack. This episode would later become a chapter in her book UFOs Over Africa (Horus House, 1996).
One eyewitness, Barry D., said he saw three objects fly over, with flashing red lights. The UFOs disappeared, but then reappeared almost immediately, in another location. This happened about three times. He said the objects then came and landed near some gum trees not far from the school.
Four of the eye witnesses Cynthia Hind interviewed
The most interesting part of this story is that UFOs were witnessed by 62 school children, none or few of who had ever seen or heard stories about aliens or UFOs. Cynthia Hind interviewed them the day after the encounter and got them to draw them draw pictures of what they had seen. A prominent Harvard researcher and professor of Psychiatry, John Mack, also traveled to Ruwa and conducted extensive interviews.
Many researchers call the Ariel School story the ultimate "nondebunkable" piece of alien lore. It is a tantalizing UFO/Grey sighting to UFOlogists because of the large number of people who witnessed it, and because UFO researchers like Hind were quickly on the scene to report on it, take interviews, and collect sketches and eyewitness accounts. Hind was able to interview around a dozen of the older children and was able to get them to create sketches of what they had seen.
Many serious and experienced researchers call this case one of the most believable of all documented close encounters. Almost everyone calls it one of their "favorites." One poster on Paracast wrote: "A recent poster asked for our favorite (?) UFO case. I opted for Ruwa and its school children. This merely reinforces that choice. I thought I'd seen every clip of the children being interviewed until I watched this. I want someone at CNN to run those clips and come on afterword, with eerie music and take pokes at those kids' credibility or sanity. The public would fire-bomb their Atlanta offices."
"These children are (were), at least in my opinion, the most credible UFO/Alien witness' I've ever seen interviewed. The shock, trauma, terror and confusion manifested in their words and their eyes would be near impossible for anyone to fake so convincingly- let alone young, rural children. We are not talking about 'lights in the sky' here. These children say that they had close contact with these things and that there was some sort of communication. . .that they can't even comprehend."
some of the sketches created by the Ariel schoolchildren
The editor of Paracast agreed, saying"These are some of the most believable Close Encounter testimonies on record,and it's a real shame that the case hasn't received more attention here in the West.Let's hope that this all changes once the new documentary premieres.It'll be fascinating to see how these children (now young adults) have managed to assimilate this experience into their lives,and what they think of it now - 15 years later."
The now deceased Cynthia Hind had deep experience in investigative reporting and was well-respected in the UFO community.
A photograph of the Ariel School grounds
At the end of this story, I have included some video footage from YouTube showing some of the interviews and background on the story. Here is the initial report by Cynthia Hind in the UFO AFRINEWS, 1994:
"On Friday 16th September, at approximately 10:15, 62 children from Ariel School, a private primary school in Ruwa (about 20 km from Harare) were in their playing field for the mid-morning break. Suddenly, they saw three silver balls in the sky over the school. These disappeared with a flash of light and then reappeared elsewhere. This happened three times and then they started to move down towards the school with one of them landing (or hovering) over a section of rough ground made up of trees, thorn bushes, and some brown-grey cut grass with bamboo shoots sticking up out of the ground. The children are not allowed in this area although it is adjacent to their playing field and is not fenced off, because of snakes, spiders and perhaps other harmful creatures. One can soon disappear from view while walking here, and there is only one very rough track used by tractors in an attempt to clear this area. "There is a line of electricity pylons and according to one boy, the object followed along this line prior to landing. "There is also some controversy as to whether the object _landed_ on the ground or hovered above it. On Tuesday, 20th September, I went out to the school with a BBC reporter and their television equipment, as well as my son and Gunter Hofer, a young man who builds his own electrical equipment, viz, a Geiger counter, a metal detector and a magnetometer, to try and see if the object left any traces behind.
"The headmaster of the school is Mr. Colin Mackie, who was most co-operative, and although he had never been involved with UFOs or a believer in them, said that he believed the children had seen what they said they saw. "I was able to interview about 10 or 12 older children and this was recorded for BBC television.
"One eyewitness, Barry D., said he had seen three objects flying over, with flashing red lights. They disappeared, and reappeared almost immediately, but somewhere else. This happened about three times. Then they came and landed near some gum trees; Barry said the main one (object) was about the size of his thumb nail held at arm's length. The reports were similar although some children were more observant than others. The consensus of opinion was that an object came down in the area where they indicated, about 100 metres from where they were at the edge of the school playing field. Then a small man (approx 1 metre in height) appeared on top of the object. He walked a little way across the rough ground, became aware of the children and disappeared. He, or someone very like him, then reappeared at the back of the object. The object took off very rapidly and disappeared." "The little man was dressed in a tight-fitting black suit which was 'shiny' according to one observant girl (11 years of age). He had a long scrawny neck and huge eyes like rugby balls. He had a pale face with long black hair coming below his shoulders.
"I had suggested to Mr. Mackie prior to visiting the school and before the children had been interviewed, that he let the children draw what they had seen and he now has about 30-40 drawings, some of which are very explicit and clear, although some are rather vague. The children's' ages vary from 5/6 to 12 years. I have 22 photocopies of the clearer drawings as Mr. Mackie kindly allowed me to page through the pictures and choose those I wanted. Most of the descriptions are similar but some of the craft are very obviously 'flying saucers', and I wonder how many of these children have had access to the media. Others are crude but more or less in this saucer shape.
"The children vary in cultures: there are black, white, coloured and Asian children. One little girl said to me, 'I swear by every hair on my head and the whole Bible that I am telling the truth.' I could see the pleasure on her face when I told her that I believed her. The smaller children from 5-7 years were very frightened at the time and ran shouting 'Help me, help me.' When the older children asked why they were saying this, the reply was, 'He is coming to eat us.' I should think this applied more to the black African children who have legends of tokoloshies eating children. "Their teachers were in a meeting and did not come out. When I queried the headmaster about this he said the children always shouted and yelled during their playtime and no-one thought there was anything unusual going on. The only other adult available at the time was one of the mothers who was running the tuckshop. When the children came to call her, she did not believe them and would not come out: she was not prepared to leave the tuckshop with all the food and money. "Gunter and the men thoroughly examined the ground around where the children had seen the object, but could get no reaction on the Geiger counter or any other equipment. If the object was hovering perhaps nothing would show. I walked, on my own, along the electricity pylons for quite a away, caught up in thorn bushes, trampling blithely over snake holes and discarding all caution. I found no place where some object could have landed and pressed down the foliage. In fact, I should think the bamboo stumps would have been a deterrent. The day was hot, around 33 C (91F)...
"Dr John Mack was visiting Zimbabwe at the time of the event, and he spent two days at Ariel School with the children. He also spoke to the Headmaster, Colin Mackie, the teachers and some of the parents. John and his fellow researcher, Dominique Callimanopulos, were able to get through to the parents and teachers and convince them that even if they did not believe the children, it was counter-productive to accuse them of lying. Listen and think about what they were saying, he advised. His particular interest in child psychiatry was also of great use during the questioning and many former hidden memories came to light, something John is sure to make public when he has had a chance to reassess his interviewing."

[Thanks to Jeff Clinton for suggesting this story]
The hottest video on the Russian YouTube site is film of an alleged UFO hovering over the Kremlin. Some say the triangular craft could be up to a mile in length. As you see in the video clips below, it has been seen in both daylight, and at night.
Russia has become a hotbed in recent years of UFO news, UFO records and investigations made public, and indeed. . .numerous purported alien craft sightings. . .
The video clips, probably shot from a passing car, have gone viral, particularly in the former Soviet Union.
Nick Pope, who has worked on MoD's UFO Desk [ed's note: MoD is the British Ministry of Defense] for three years, called it "one of the most extraordinary UFO clips I've ever seen."\ He said: "At first I thought this was a reflection, but it appears to move behind a power line, ruling out this theory."
Web theorists suggested an air balloon or stunt, but a spokesman for aerospace experts Jane's News said: "We have no idea what it is."
Thanks to Jeff Clinton for sending in this amazing photograph. I don't know who took it, or where or when they took it. If I had to guess, I'd say somewhere in Europe, in the 1930's or 40's? I used tineye.com attempting to find the original. I did find one copy of the photo marked "OSC youth camp," and some others had references to Serbia and other eastern European countries. . .
