Alien Lore No. 245 - Russell Crowe spots, and photographs, a UFO

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Ed.

Russell Crowe says he recently caught a UFO on camera. The actor told Perth Now that he saw, and photographed, several flying objects whizzing over Sydney's Royal Botanic Gardens earlier this week. He uploaded a video to YouTube (see below). 

"A friend and I set camera to capture fruit bats rising from Botanic Gardens. This was a big surprise,'' Crowe wrote on Twitter.  He said that he was about 800 feet from the gardens when he shot the footage.

The short clip titled "UFO? Time Lapse Photos Outside RC's Woolloomooloo Office (THESE ARE REAL)" shows a number of oddly-shaped lights over the Botanic Gardens.

Asked on Twitter if the lights may have been lens flares or other natural phenomenon, Crowe said "Canon 5D, no flash, can't be lens flare because it moves, camera is fixed."

Several other film stars, celebrities and politicians have also reported seeing UFOs; President Jimmy Carter was said to have seen a UFO, as have Nation of Islam founder Louis Farrakhan, Congressman Dennis Kucinich, John Lennon, and Jackie Gleason famously reported seeing alien bodies at a secret U.S. Government facility.

Alien Lore - The Nation of Islam, UFOs, and The Greys

By Jack Brummet, Paranormal Editor, and
Mona Goldwater, Society Editor

A few weeks ago,  the Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan delivered his annual Saviours' Day speech in Rosemont, Illinois.  In the speech, Farrakhan vowed that he would force the U.S. government to open all UFO files (ed's note: not unlike the governments of France and Russia have recently done). 

As it turns out, UFOs are a central tenet in the teachings of the Nation of Islam.  The NOI is a 50,000 person church based in America (as opposed to the Islam Religion, with almost two billion members).

An early NOI leader--Elijah Muhammad--told The Nation of a gigantic Earth-orbiting "Mother Plane" equipped with many weapons.  According to an article on AOL News, "seeking the divine in the skies is one of the core beliefs of NOI leaders and followers, which explains why so much of their literature tells of UFOs, or what they prefer to call airborne 'wheels.'"

The bummer for me, and the readers of our Alien Lore series is that it is not Greys, or aliens flying these saucers around.  The Nation of Islam teachings say the circular spacecraft were built by humans on Earth, many centuries ago, under the guidance of God. 

NOI teachings claim that the original "wheel" was built by scientists on the islands of what is now Japan, "at a cost of $15 billion in gold."  The story also says that "these original UFOs were used to create mountains on Earth."

Naturally, this is tied into Ezekiel's Wheel (ed's note: remember the song..."Ezekiel saw a wheel/Way up/In The middle of the air?").  The encounter in The Bible of the prophet Ezekiel with a wheel-like UFO, is central to the Nation of Islam religion.

Farrakhan told the group in Chicago that "Many have died or have been killed to keep from sharing what they have seen."  Does this sound familiar to any Alien Lore fans?  If you dig into nearly any Alien Lore story, eventually it comes down to conspiracy and cover-ups.

In his Saviour's Day speech the year before, Farrakhan said that in 1985 he himself had been taken aboard the craft.  And, when he was on the flaying saucer, he heard Elijah Muhammad speak to him.

The gathering in Illinois included a group of international UFOligists.  "They have in us allies. They have in us their protectors. They have in us those that will help them to gain the finance to keep up their research."

"Since the founding of the Nation of Islam, these wheel-like objects have been taught to us of their existence and their function," said Ishmael Muhammad, one of Elijah Muhammad's sons.

"The founder of the Nation of Islam, Fard Muhammad, taught us about these objects that the world calls UFOs, and he gave us great details as to the materials that they were constructed of and that most of these objects come from this planet Earth," Ishmael Muhammad told AOL News.

"He also taught us of the existence of life on other planets, as well as a highly advanced civilization on the planet Mars. He taught us about the Mother Plane (UFO) and gave us the dimensions that it was a half mile by a half mile, human-made planet, one mile in height, and that this Mother Plane carried 1,500 smaller planes."

He went on to claim that the FBI and other feds have, in their various raids, confiscated much of the evidence the NOI had collected over the years.   One of the UFOlogists at the conference said "The entire discussion [with Farrakhan] was about UFOs, and it didn't deviate. He [Farrakhan] kept talking about how heroic and brave we were in the face of worldwide skepticism and the media so often treating this at such a high level of ridicule. I was pleasantly surprised when he offered both emotional and financial support for our work, and he came across as very humble in our presence."

Ishmael Muhammad, Nation of Islam's national assistant minister, spoke to AOL News about NOI's fascination with UFOs and their fervent hope that they will somehow unite all the religions of Earth."

"I believe that the recent release of UFO documents by the British government is very significant, along with other countries that have released their own," Ishmael Muhammad added.  "I think it says that they know that contact is imminent."

Alien Lore No. 243 - The 5 Hour Alien Video that may or may not exist

By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena/Alien Lore Editor

[thanks for the news tip to Jeff Clinton]

purported screen grab from the five hour video

"The 5 Hour Video" (unofficially named by Anonymous?) was first mentioned on various underground sites (known sometimes as the "deep web").  The sites discuss a  five hour long video with footage of aliens (including the murder of aliens) that was found on that murky deep web.  Many people involved in the contentious discussions around this video believe there is no video at all.

However, many people claim to have seen the video, although it has never shown up online (despite multiple search efforts), and the only "evidence" are the several supposed screen captures.  It seems highly unlikely no one has actually been able to track this down.

Alien Lore No. 242 - Abduction: Freshening The Greys' DNA

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Editor


"...despite the fact that we humans are great collectors of souvenirs, not one of these persons [claiming to have been aboard a flying saucer] has brought back so much as an extraterrestrial tool or artifact, which could, once and for all, resolve the UFO mystery."
- Philip Klass

The alien abduction story that really ignited the cult about alien visitation and experimentation is the Betty and Barney Hill story. The Hills claim to have been abducted by aliens on September 19, 1961.

The rise in UFO sightings is, of course, attributed to an increase in alien activity on Earth. The aliens are abducting people in larger numbers, are leaving other signs of their presence in the form of so-called crop circles, are involved in cattle mutilation, and occasionally provide revelations such as the Urantia Book to selected prophets.

According to a Gallup poll done at the end of the twentieth century, about one-third of Americans believe aliens have visited us.

In the body of alien lore, The Greys are interstellar pirates, marauding in from Zeta Reticuli. Their victims include a number of outcast (when they go public) human beings who insist they've been shanghaied by these visitors. These alleged abductees are considered crackers; bull-goose looney.

Tales of UFO contacts have become commonplace, but contact with The Greys themselves is highly suspect, and talking about it is tantamount to saying you're ready for a long rest stay at the laughing academy.

One of the main theories of alien abduction centers on the notion that Greys are clones, and like mules, or clones we have created, are incapable of reproducing. I guess it sounds kind of racist, but, they might be clones. The Greys all look alike!

The Greys abduct human males and females to extract sperm, ova, and other samples of our genetic sequences for reasons unknown.

The Heisenburg Uncertainty Principle (referring to quantum mechanics and the uncertainty of the location and momentum of an electron in orbit) postulates that genetic sequences break down and begin to have errors in the sequence after several generations of continuous cloning. This, they say, is what happened to The Greys.

Cloning from clones, after several generations, is equivalent to living in say, Bugtussle, Arkansas, where errors in the code accumulate due to to intermarriage within too small a genetic pool--not unlike the chinless wonders that still inhabit some of Europe's thrones. The Hapsburg's may be gone, but you can certainly see the effects of too tight a gene pool in the very visages of the horse-faced Windsors. Prince Charles' sons, to some extent, escaped that fate, having an infusion of their mother's gene sequences. But this is digressing pretty far from The Greys' genetic issues.

DNA looks pretty digital to me, but apparently, cloning is similar to to the analog duplication of an audio or video cassette from another recording (like some of those fourth generation Grateful Dead shows I used to have). As copies are copied, the overall fidelity and quality decreases. Therefore the Greys need to frequently freshen their code.

Human mutations from one generation to the next increase diversity. The mutations created don't involve the function of major systems of the body. With clones, however, the mutations are copied from one generation to another, and as the number of mutations accumulate, the chance of a fatal or highly defective mutation increases rather than decreases. In a closed system clones like this Mutation=Mutilation.

While the Greys allegedly successfully cross-breed their genetic material with that of humans, their actual knowledge of truly advanced genetic engineering appears slim and the Greys have little control over the genetic code of the hybrids. Thus, cloning eventually becomes fatal to the Greys, and has left them racially impure, since much of their population are now hybrids.

Abductees often experience memory loss and "missing time". Some of them have been able to recall their abductions from memory and others have recalled their abductions by the aid of hypnosis (Betty Hill for one). Often these encounters involve being taken aboard an alien craft and examined by the Greys and put through a variety of physical and mental procedures. Naturally, many of these experiments involve sex and reproduction. When the individuals are returned, they become, as Dark Skies termed it throwbacks. Many of the abduction victims are reported to show signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

A 1992 Roper Poll tells that one in fifty people believe they have had these experiences. If it is true then it is also possible that what is occurring with abductees may be the beginning of something much larger.

There has been some material evidence of Alien contacts. There have been markings and injuries on abductees, including scoop-marks in the flesh, incisions, burns, apparent radiation exposure, bruises, inflammation, etc. Skeptics believe these marks are self-inflicted.


Recovered implants are yet to be identified as alien in nature. They could be similar to the stones that are found in kidneys which are normal concretion, usually composed of mineral salts, occurring chiefly in the hollow organs of their passages.

No one seems to have staked out, or performed long term observation on abductees who claim to be visited by their alien raptors on a regular basis. Professor David Jacob's book The Threat says "Training a video camera and recorder on an abductee every night has produced limited results. Some abductees report a dramatic decrease in abductions. Most report that the frequency of abductions tends to decrease only a bit. So far, no abductions have been videotaped. Rather, tapes reveal people getting up and inexplicably turning off the VCR, or unusual power outages during which the camera turns off, or the camera simply goes off mysteriously." Of course, anyone with the ability to travel in space ships at the speed of light, communicate telepathically, and stealthily conquer earth, might also be able to shut off a camera without being seen.

This is all basically hot-air until we capture an alien in the act, in flagrante. . .but as fantastic as the story is, it has become an accepted part of the lore of UFOs and alien contact.

Alien Lore No. 241 - UFO crash in Japan?

By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena Editor

photo purportedly released by the Japanese Navy

Several web sites and blogs, including In Other Newz, are posting articles on an alleged report on Nippon Television December 5th that “an Unidentified Flying Object, went down off the coast of Okinawa, an island at the southern tip of Japan. Several news crews, along with police and emergency vehicles, rushed to the scene just in time to see the UFO sink into the water, according to multiple sources.”  

“We saw something like a small vessel with a dome slowly submerge into the water as we arrived at the scene,” said Okinawa Prefecture Police Chief Hideki Suzuki. “We clearly saw smoke rising from it as it went down. There was a tremendous amount of steam generated as it disappeared into the depths of the ocean. We anticipate investigating the vessel as soon as we get the equipment we need to raise it from the water.”

The reports also claim that a recovery mission is underway:  "The Japanese Navy has already cordoned off the immediate vicinity of the crash and is preparing to send divers into the water to get a glimpse of the vessel and take photos for salvaging purposes. No doubt, the Navy will be heavily involved in bringing the UFO up from the depths of the ocean."

A photograph "released by the Japanese navy" shows the vessel submerged underwater, with a possible power source still glowing brightly atop the aircraft’s dome..

Another web web site points out that the the photo looks suspiciously like this Google street view image of Jacksonville, Texas.  Does this image below confirm that this is just another hoax?

Alien Lore No. 237 - Purported KGB footage of a UFO crash site in Russia

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Editor 

Thanks to reader Jeff Clinton for passing this along.  It's hard to tell if this is staged or not (well, maybe not).  The whole operation seems just a little too rag-tag to have been faked.  Would a large team like this really begin handling pieces of the crash and UFO without containment suits, and extreme precautions against viruses and radiation?  Would there be no containment trucks or heavy equipment?  Just look at footage of investigators at any jet crash site, and you'll have the answer.  In this film clip, at least, the actions of the group seem completely random and ad hoc.  There is no serious attempt to systematically collect evidence and data.  And, even if this footage were taken in the early 1950's, you would have seen evidence of photography, filming, and tape recording, aside from whoever shot this clip.

Finally, looking at the UFO, if you presume it failed while extremely close to the ground, the wreckage might look like this.  Looking at the trees, it feels like there might have been more trauma to the trees...you can see standing trees nearly touching the spaceship.

Alien Lore No. 220 - The Ariel School UFO/Grey sighting in Ruwa, Zimbabwe

By Jack Brummet, Unexplained Phenomena and Alien Lore Editor

[Thanks to Jeff Clinton for the "news tip.]

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."

Alien Lore No. 215 - Alien Flyby Over Mecca?

By Jack Brummet
Unexplained Phenomena Editor

This video was recorded in the holy town of Mecca.  Mecca is the birthplace of prophet Muhammad and a site of the composition of the Quran.   Mecca is as the holiest city in Islam and a pilgrimage to it, known as the Hajj, is obligatory upon all able-bodied Muslims.

The recording shows a cluster of unidentified bright objects flying in the night sky. Some of the UFOs flew in clusters upward and others flew sideways or downwards, as if they couldn't decide which end was up. . .

Mecca?  Really?  Were The Greys trying to create a high-profile fly-by?

Alien Lore No. 214 - The alien pig of Santa Cruz El Chol

By Jack Brummet, Paranormal Editor

People in a remote Guatemalan village—Santa Cruz El Chol—believe that a piglet's human-like head is the result of Visitors.  The night of its birth in August, many strange bright lights were spotted hovering in the sky over the town, leading villagers to believe that the pig's appearance is due to aliens from outer space.

Alien Lore No. 207 - The Greys, Betty and Barney Hill, and Zeta Reticuli

By Jack Brummet

Paranormal and Unexplained Phenomena Editor

Click to enlarge

Paranormal aficionados,  UFOlogists and even, once in a blue moon, a scholar or professor, make wild and fairly contradictory assertions about just exactly what The Greys are--machines?, Extraterrestrial Biological Entities/ETs?, extradimensionals?, monsters?, or maybe even the mind-effing ability of a far greater intelligence to project virtual Greys into our world?   The focus of Alien Lore took a sharp turn with stories of the Betty and Barney Hill abduction claim and the role of The Greys in that.

Greys are usually depicted as short, grey-skinned beings with only a suggestion of, or completely missing, noses, ears, breasts, or sexual organs.  The are small chested, and have no  muscular definition or visible skeletal structure. Their legs are shorter and jointed differently those of homo sapiens. Their humerus and thigh bones are the same lengths as their forearms and shins, respectively.

According to Wikipedia, "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."

H.G. Wells wrote in Man of the Year Million in the 19th century about tiny Greys with big heads. His 1901 novel, The First Men in the Moon describes moon natives as grey skinned, big headed, with large black eyes and wasp wings (very similar to our contemporary Greys without the wings). Wells also describes aliens resembling Greys brought down to Earth as food by the antagonists of his novel, and most enduring work, The War of the Worlds.

Betty and Barney Hill, claimed to have been abducted by alien beings and taken to a saucer-shaped spaceship in 1961. And this is where Zeta Reticuli enters alien lore.  The term "Greys" did not come into usage until many years later, but the beings described by the Hills fit many of the common traits of what we now call Greys.  An elementary school teacher and amateur astronomer, Marjorie Fish, concluded that the home planet of these beings as shown in a star map drawn by Betty Hill, was located in the Zeta Reticuli star system (their home planet is thought to be the fourth planet of the second star of Reticulum). The Greys became known in alien lore as Zeta Reticulans.  During the 1990s, popular culture began to increasingly link the ZR Greys to a dizzying number of military-industrial complex/New World Order conspiracy theories.

A well known example of this was the TV series The X-Files, that combined the quest to find proof of the existence of The Greys with UFO conspiracy theory subplots, to form its story arc. Other notable examples include the great and short-lived series, Dark Skies, first broadcast in 1996, which expanded upon the Majestic 12 conspiracy.

Betty and Barney Hill

Dr. Steven Greer, founder of the Disclosure Project, head of CSETI, and a prominent UFO conspiracy theorist, has publicly presented 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.

Alas, the odds are stacked against anyone even being able to study whether all this is true or not... Stanton Friedman considers the general attitude of mainstream academics as arrogant and dismissive, and bound to a world view that disallows any evidence contrary to previously held notions. 

Ridicule and a loss of status prevents scientists from pursuing the study UFOs.  J. Allen Hynek 
commented, "Ridicule is not part of the scientific method and people should not be taught that it is." Hynek said of the frequent dismissal of UFO reports by astronomers that the critics know nothing about the sightings, and should thus not be taken seriously. Peter A. Sturrock suggests that a lack of funding is a major factor in the institutional disinterest in UFOs.

Alien Lore No. 206 - Conditioning Us For The Visitors

By Jack Brummet
Unexplained Phenomena Editor

In the last couple of months, on top of continuing releases by various governments (France, Russia, England, The United States), two books on UFOlogy/Alien Lore have appeared that make a lot more sense than much of what has appeared previously.  A.D. After Disclosure: The People's Guide to Life After Contact, by Bryce Zabel (of Dark Skies fame) and Richard Dolan, and Annie Jacobsen's Area 51: An Uncensored History of America's Top Secret Military Base ,[1] both raise a lot of fascinating questions and pose a few answers. 

What does it all really mean? I kind of like Jacque Vallée's take on it.   Check out the the saucer UFO lore from the ground up:

• a baffling and inexplicable technology that contradict everything we know about the natural laws of time and space;
• A phenomenon that seems intricate, but absurd, and more like a dream than imagination or rational thought;
• Many thousands of people, scattered all over the world (including at least three US President, two astronauts, and hundreds of others),  see something that shatters their previous notions of what is real;
• Governments and churches and corporations heap enough ridicule on witnesses to silence many more;
• Conspiracy theorists, UFOlogists, and total wackjobs band together and some jockey for control of a murky and sometimes sinister subculture;
• Religions are born, structured around the Alien Lore.

Since 1947, when Kenneth Arnold spotted a UFO armada just eighty miles south of me, near Mount Rainier, there has been growing speculation over just what is Out There.  In the end, what do all the stories, reports, movies, books, documentaries, and investigations mean? What does this UFO thing really look like? It looks like a conditioning mechanism.   Conditioning us for what?  Why don't "They" just land on the White House lawn? As a UFOlogist once wrote "For the same reason that the chemists at Parke-Davis don't introduce themselves to their rats."  According to this school of though, we are being conditioned for their eventual arrival.  Or, more accurately--since many theorists believe they are already here--for their introduction.

As I've explained many times before to skeptics, I've written these couple of hundred pieces not because I believe in UFOs, The Greys, a Majestic-12 conspiracy, and a massive governmental cover-up, but more because I don't not believe.  No one has yet convinced me--as insane as it all sounds--that all of this is not possible.

The Krill Papers [2] are either a fascinating collection of confabulations, pretzel logic, and pure conspiracy hokum, or a shocking expose of a government that sold us down the tubes to invaders. The Krill Papers were purportedly dictated by an alien hostage left with our government when his spacecraft landed at Holloman Air Force Base in the 1960's. The Krill Papers were released by William Cooper and have been the subject of heated and protracted ebate in the UFO community. You can read them here.   If you believe Krill (read the footnote/satellite data cluster below),  you can see the conditioning is well underway.

_____________________________

[1] Jacobsen writes:  "The UFO craze began in the summer of 1947. Several months later, the G2 intelligence, which was the Army intelligence corps at the time, spent an enormous amount of time and treasure seeking out two former Third Reich aerospace designers named Walter and Reimar Horten who had allegedly created [a] flying disc. ... American intelligence agents fanned out across Europe seeking the Horton brothers to find out if, in fact, they had made this flying disc.

"The idea behind it remains, why? Why were they looking for a flying disc? And conspiracy theorists have had their hands on this declassified file for over a decade now, and they say it proves that this flying disc came from outer space. If you read the documents, the takeaway that I found fascinating was that at the end of it, the Army admits finding the Horten brothers, and that the Horten brothers admitted their contact with the Russians and that's where the file ends. Everything after that is classified."

"The plan, according to my source, was to create panic in the United States with this belief that a UFO had landed with aliens inside of it. And one of the most interesting documents is the second CIA director, Walter Bedell Smith, memos back and forth to the National Security Council talking about how the fear is that the Soviets could make a hoax against America involving a UFO and overload our early air-defense warning system, making America vulnerable to an attack."

[2] The Krill Papers stated purpose is to prove:

• Craft from other worlds have crashed on Earth.
• Alien craft are from both ultra-dimensional sources and sources within this dimension.
• Early U.S. government efforts at acquiring alien technology were successful.
• The U.S. government has had live alien hostages at some point in time.
• The government has conducted autopsies on alien cadavers.
• U.S. intelligence agencies, security agencies, and public agencies are involved in the cover up of facts pertaining to the situation.
• People have been and are currently abducted, mutilated, murdered and kidnapped as a result of the UFO situation.
• There is a current active alien presence on this planet among us that controls difference elements of our society.
• Alien forces maintain bases on Earth and on the Moon.
• The U.S. government has had a working relationship with alien forces for some time, with the express purpose of gaining technology in gravitational propulsion, beam weaponry and mind control.
• Millions of cattle have been killed in the process of acquiring biological materials.
• Both aliens and the U.S. government are responsible for mutilations, but for different reasons.
• We live in a multi-dimensional world that is overlapped and visited by entities from other dimensions. Many of these entities are hostile. Many are not hostile.
• The basis of our genetic development and religions lies in intervention by non-terrestrial and terrestrial forces.
• Actual technology far exceeds that perceived by the public.
• The United States space program is a cover operation that exists for public relations purposes. - People are being actively killed in order to suppress the facts about the situation. The CIA and the NSA are involved so deeply that exposure would cause collapse of their overt structure.
• Facts indicate alien overt presence within five to ten years.
• Our civilization is one of many that have existed in the last billion years.

Most notably, Krill said, or wrote,

"The Greys are insidious little fiends. They did exactly [to us] what they're doing here [to you]. You are not on the verge of an invasion. You are not in the middle of an invasion. The invasion has already taken place. It's merely in its final stages."

"What would you invade? [Here he describes the operational plan of the Greys from the beginning.] You would go to the most secret of communities within a society. In the case of the United States, you would go and infiltrate the CIA. You would take over some of them and you would take over part of the KGB.

"You would create great dissension and disagreement between factions of the public at large -- some groups saying they have seen UFOs, others saying 'No, no, this is not possible.' You would involve two major countries in an on-going idiotic philosophical disagreement so that while the Soviet Union and the United States constantly battle back and forth about who has which piece of territory or whether one invades Iran or whether one invades Afghanistan or whatever... whether one dismantles one nuclear warhead or the other dismantles another group of warheads -- you would sit back and laugh if you had the capacity to laugh.

"You would present yourself indeed to some in a group who would protect you [CIA or MJ-12] thinking they had a secret more secret and more perfect knowledge of something than anyone else on this planet had, and they would covet you and you would trust their own greed and you would trust their own mass stupidity to trap them. And you'd do it on both sides

"You'd show yourself to some of the mass populace to further involve [factions of] the government in an attempt to shut them up, to keep them even more busy quieting them and trying to 'stop more information about UFOs from getting out.' You'd have the mass populace to a state where they distrusted the government. 'Oh, why don't they believe us? Why can't they understand that these things are really happening? We're not crazy!'

"So you would have battles constantly about whether UFOs exist or they don't exist. You would have the public and the government at each other's throats. You would set two major superpowers at each other's throats. And you would have set up groups like 'haves' -- the wealthy but contented -- and the 'have- nots.' You would plant the seeds of massive discontent.

"Eventually you might have some show of ships landing in the 1990s. One or two. By the time they have landed, be assured they will be in complete control. You will start doing crossbreeds and more crossbreeds, generation after generation.

"You bribe the government with a few tidbits -- a Star Wars system. You tease and tempt the Soviet Union with a laser system far finer than any of their own scientists could think of. And you always have that subtle inference -- just on the borderline of consciousness so that UFOs don't seem to believable, yet you keep it couched in secrecy and make it seem quite so insane that no one would believe them. On top of it, you would unleash forces that would want to kill them [UFO contactees] if they disclosed that the CIA is dealing with the exact same things the [contact victim] is.

"Maybe one or two hundred years from now, some of the Greys will even physically mingle and you may have some creatures walking around who are pretty much hybrids between Greys and your own race. For now, anything that walks around will look much like yourselves. It's simpler. It holds down on mass panic.

"Everyone who has experiences with them [Greys] will be at odds with the government. To add to that, we will go into a complete phased of earthquake after earthquake and upheaval after upheaval.

"The inner core of the CIA is deeply controlled by the Greys. The CIA sees interaction with the Greys as a path to greater scientific achievement.

"One reason you are seeing so many different kinds of UFOs is that other cultures are watching with extreme interest. Scientists from other cultures arrive to watch. The Greys have not only taken over the intelligence agencies, they have also taken over what those agencies call 'lunatic fringe groups.' "

Alien Lore No. 192 -- UFOs over Jerusalem

By Jack Brummet, Paranormal Editor

Thanks, as always, to Jeff Clinton for bringing this to our attention. 

A glowing craft over the skyline of Jerusalem has left UFO experts and even a few skeptics baffled. 

A round object descended over Jerusalem's Dome of the Rock last week, and was then seen to flicker and rocket off into the heavens.  People have posted other clips of Jerusalem previously, and all were generally dismissed as man-made.  This sighting has left UFOlogists baffled because this one was filmed from numerous perspectives.  In fact, judging from the buzz in the UFO this sighting and these videos are among the most important sightings in recent years. 

In fact, some UFO-heads think these widely viewed videos are definitive proof that our cousins have returned for a visit.  Some scholars and observers of a more religious bent say that the UFO is the Hebrew god Elohim.

"Erets Yisrael is the navel of the world, and Jerusalem is its center, and the Bet ha Mikdash is at the center of Jerusalem, and the Holy of Holies is at its center, and the Holy Ark is at the center of the Holy of holies, and in front of it is the Foundation Stone on which the world was founded." -The Midrash

One thing that is certain is that the pilots of the UFO are not Muslim.  Flying over the Dome of the Rock landmark, an Islamic shrine, is prohibited.


A former Ministry of Defense UFO investigator, Nick Pope, says "If these are real, they are some of the most incredible videos ever shot.  If they are not, then this is a very well-planned and coordinated hoax designed to eliminate elements of doubt."  Pope says  "the way it shoots up into the sky suggests it is unmanned, because no living thing could survive those kinds of G-forces."

A total of four clips filmed from different viewpoints were posted online.

Alien Lore No. 190 - A new Wikileak that reveals a U.S. v. UFO war near Antarctica

By Jack Brummet
Unexplained phenomena and paranormal editor





Thanks to Jeff Clinton, who frequently unearths our news tip of the day, for spotting this one...

According the European Union Times online newspaper, WikiLeaks is about to reveal the details behind a heretofore secret US-UFO war in the southern ocean, near Antarctica.

The EU Times came into this information from a report that recently circulated in the Kremlin, and that was initially prepared for President Medvedev by the Russian Space Forces (VKS) 45th Division of Space Control.

The report claims that WikiLeaks will soon release a passel of secret US cables outlining how the U.S. has been at war against UFO’s based on or near the Continent of Antarctica, since around 2004.

The report describes how the United States went to its highest alert level on June 10, 2004 after a massive fleet of UFO’s “suddenly emerged” from the Southern Ocean and approached Guadalajara, Mexico, 1,000 miles from the American border.  Before breaching the U.S. border, the UFO armada “dimensionally returned” to their Southern Ocean base.

The U.S. military and intelligence first got an extreme case of the willies July 11, 1991 (called 7/11) when during a solar eclipse when UFOs appeared "by the hundreds" over much of Mexico.  The report also claims that millions of Mexicans watched the flyover on television, but the feed was suppressed in the U.S.

Since 2004, this report claims, fleets of Southern Ocean UFO’s have periodically emerged from their bases.  The most recent sightings happened this month, over Chile.

Two weeks ago, the report says, a cruise ship with 160 people on board, was nearly capsized when hit by waves generated by UFO’s emerging from the Southern Ocean.  A ship recently sank in the waves, and only 20 of its 42 member crew survived.

You may recall the recent airspace closures over New York City (October 13th) where thousands of people witnessed UFO flyovers.  Some people are claiming these UFOs are from the same southern ocean fleet. . .

I guess we need to hang loose and see just what WikiLeaks reveals. . .maybe after Julian Assange clears up his messy legal situation(s).
