Alien Lore No. 36: More On The Greys



click image to enlarge


The Greys are the most frequently identified alien race in UFOlogy and the most commonly described race by [alleged] abductees. Digging into the lore, you find literally dozens of alleged alien races. Most, of course, are at odds and working at cross-purposes with each other. The Greys alone, are lumped into three categories: Grey Type A, B, and C.

Type A Greys are the type most commonly referred to as Greys. They are believed to hail from the Zeta Reticuli star system (e.g., the Bernard star), neighboring Orion. They function in a disciplined, military mode with a rigidly defined social structure and exhibit what we sometimes call hive behavior.

Type B Greys are from Orion. They are about four feet taller than Type A Greys (7 to 8 ft. tall). Their faces are similar to grey type A except for a large nose. These greys also have technologies that allow them to perform certain actions that appear miraculous to we befuddled humans.



Type C Greys are the shortest of the greys. Their facial features are very similar to the Zeta Reticuli greys and they are of the same "root race." They are just as hostile to humans as the Zetas and come from a star system near the shoulder of Orion called Bellatrax.

Many other alien groups have been reported: Human Type A, B, and C; The reptilian; Group A (non earth-born humans, or, our cousins, or possibly our forebears); hybrids, or, human-alien hybrids of varying concentrations; The Blondes; The Nordics; and dozens of other races including Sasquatches and even Dolphins. I like to keep it simple and just focus on the Greys. In the lore, many of these races are at war with each other, or working at very extreme cross-purposes.


While their have been dozens of descriptions given by witnesses, the most reported and accepted face of the aliens are the EBE's (Extraterrestrial Biological Entities) known as the Greys.

In general, the Greys are described as: about 3'4" - 3'8" tall. Their eyes are extremely large, almost insect-like. Their eyes have a couple of inner lids. Their days are extremely bright, probably twice or three times as bright as days on earth. They have just the two openings where our nose would be...and a small mouth. Their mouths contain no teeth, and just a hard 'gum-like' area. Greys are humanoid in appearance with an almond-shaped head, two large black lidless eyes, two arms, hands with no thumbs, legs, and feet. They tend to appear greyish in color, either their skin color or some form of clothing. Some people have said their skin looks like, and feels like, that of a dolphin. In fact, there is a whole school of thought on the relationship of the aliens to dolphins.

Internally, they have one organ which does the job of our hearts and lungs... and their digestive system is simple. Their skin structure is a very elastic and very hard, probably hardened by their sun. Their brain is more complex than ours with several different lobes, more than ours have. Unlike ours, their eyes are controlled by the the front of the brain.

Their hearing is better than ours and reportedly better than a dogs. Along with telepathy, this seems to make them formidable stalkers.

Like their heart and lungs, their kidneys and bladder are one organ. They allegedly excrete waste like humans, although I don't know if they have an actual alimentary canal. They have another internal organ which scientists believe exists to transform solid waste into liquid waste."

They have hands without thumbs, and three or four fingers. Their feet are web-like and small.

Their life span is around 350-400 years. Almost Biblical. This is allegedly because of their reptile-like qualities. The aliens have an IQ of over 200 (and are eligible for Mensa membership, I suppose). The Greys have a universal religion: the universe is the supreme being.

Some say the aliens enjoy music...especially ancient Tibetan-style music. I would have thought they might go for Gamelon music, or maybe Brian Eno's Music For Airports...

When they're not mutilating cattle, or harvesting humans, they like vegetables... and it has been reported they love strawberry ice cream. Episode 14 of Dark Skies showed a Grey asking for, and eating two quarts of it.


Zeta Reticuli? According to abductees, they have been told, and seen, The Greys are Zeta Reticulans. Betty & Barney Hill (of one of the most famous abduction cases, about which more later) had some insight into the Grey origins. Under hypnosis, Betty Hill remembered the leader of the UFO she was taken upon showing her a Star Map. In a hypnotic session, she
reproduced the star map that a researcher was able to plot on a map to show Mrs. Hill's aliens came from Zeta Reticuli.

We call this race of extraterrestials the "Greys", due to the color of their skin which is grayish in color. Many people under hypnotic regression have drawn the same type of body form with a small mouse, nose and ears and very large eyes, insectoid in a fashion.

Based upon the large number of people reporting them, it seems more and more people are being abducted.


The most commonly seen grey is around two to four feet tall, very slender and delicate looking, they are small beings and light weight, extremely penetrating black slanted eyes with no pupils, almost vestigial mouth and nose, a very large head with a pointed chin. The skin color varies from dark grey to light grey, tan to tanish grey, white to pale white. They have no hair on their bodies.


There have also been many report of cross breeds that are both human and grey. These are explained as hybrids, a cross between the races. They have more of the physical appearance and physical strength of humans, but their minds are capable of telepathy and other superhuman feats.

Alien Lore No. 88 - Are Greys The Devil's Minions?

Flying Saucers from Hell? Are UFOs really just barges of The Great Deceiver, sent to enslave and/or infect earth with evil?

Sheffield University folklorist David Clarke has written a long and wonderful article on The ForteanTimes website on this bizarre subset of alien lore, in an already bizarre field of lore. You'll need to register to read the entire article.

There is a large school of theory and growing body of literature suggesting that UFOs and Aliens are indeed agents of Satan. On the other hand Reverend Billy Graham wondered whether or not "UFO occupants may be angels sent by God to watch over us. " You may recall that President Ronald Reagan also speculated numerous times in public over the possible motives of alien visitors. According to David Clarke, "The best-known exponent of this idea is the Presbyterian minister Rev Barry Downing, author of Flying Saucers and the Bible. Downing appears to be open minded about aliens as part of God’s creation and to look to the scriptures for evidence of early ET contacts."

Then, there are members of the Christian Orthodox Church who find it impossible to accept that there is any goodness in the elusive and contradictory nature of UFO behaviour. The most extreme expression of this view is that there can be no ETs because life on other planets is not mentioned in the Bible. It’s a point of view that leads its proponents to a further conclusion: if there are no aliens in the Bible and the UFO occupants aren’t angels, then UFOs can only be demonic in origin.

John Weldon & Zola Levitt’s UFOs: What on Earth is Happening? and Dr Clifford Wilson’s UFOs & Their Mission Impossible, are very vocal Christian fundamentalists state without equivocation that UFOs are manifestations of demonic activity, and the increasing number of UFOs in our skies is the result of demons gathering for the coming of the Antichrist.

Alien Lore No. 180 - The Alien Moon Base

"Luna," according to many UFOlogists is an Alien base on the far side of the Moon (e.g., the side we never see).  They say it was filmed by the Apollo Astronauts. They also claim the base is HQ for a massive mining operation using very large machines. According to Milton Cooper, a number of very large alien craft--which he described as "mother ships"--were also there. 



Many researchers, UFOlogists, and nutjobs claim that  both Neil Armstrong and Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin saw UFOs shortly after their historic landing on the Moon in in July, 1969.  People claims that one of the astronauts referred to a "light" in a crater during their television transmission.  Mission Control pressed for  further details.   The astronauts did not respond.

According to a former NASA employee, unnamed radio operators with their own VHF receiving facilities  picked up the following exchange:

NASA: What's there?  Mission Control calling Apollo 11...

Apollo11:  These "Babies" are huge, Sir! Enormous!  OH MY GOD! You wouldn't believe it! I'm telling you there are other spacecraft out there, lined up on the far side of the crater edge! They're on the Moon watching us!


The dark side of the moon -- the alleged location of the Alien Moon Base




In 1979 Maurice Chatelain, a former head of NASA Communications said that  Armstrong had
reported seeing two UFOs on the rim of a crater. "The encounter was common knowledge in NASA," he revealed, "but nobody has talked about it until now."

Dr. Vladimir Azhazha, a physicist and Professor of Mathematics at Moscow University said "Neil Armstrong relayed the message to Mission Control that two large, mysterious objects were watching them after having landed near the moon module.  But his message was never heard by the public," because NASA pulled it.


Another Soviet scientist, Dr.Aleksandr Kazantsev, says he saw color movies of the UFOs taken by Buzz Aldrin from inside Apollo 11.  Buzz continued filming them after he and Armstrong stepped onto the surface of the moon.  The UFOs departed minutes after the astronauts came out on to the lunar surface.

UFOlogists claims that Apollo 11's radio transmissions were interrupted on several occasions in order to hide the news from the public.  Maurice Chatelain claims that "all Apollo and Gemini flights were followed, both at a distance and sometimes also quite closely, by space vehicles of extraterrestrial origin - flying saucers, or UFOs, if you want to call them by that name.  Every time it occurred, the astronauts informed Mission Control, who then ordered absolute silence."

Moon Bases?

Another researcher says "I think that Walter Schirra aboard Mercury 8 was the first of the astronauts to use the code name 'Santa Claus' to indicate the presence of flying saucers next to space capsules. However, his announcements were barely noticed by the general public. It was a little different when James Lovell  on board the Apollo 8 command module came out from behind the moon and said for everybody to hear: 'PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THERE IS A SANTA CLAUS.' Even though this happened on Christmas Day 1968, many people sensed a hidden meaning in those words."

____________________


One professor asked Neil Armstrong during a university NASA symposium:

Professor: What REALLY happened out there with Apollo 11?

Armstrong:

Professor: How do you mean "warned off"?

Armstrong: I can't go into details, except to say that their ships were far superior to ours both in size and technology - Boy, were they big!...and menacing! No, there is no question of a space station.

Professor: But NASA had other missions after Apollo 11?



Armstrong: Naturally - NASA was committed at that time, and couldn't risk panic on Earth.   [He says here also that after Apollo 11, no one lingered on the moon].

Armstrong confirmed that the story was true but gave no details other than admitting that the CIA was behind the cover-up.

Alien Lore No. 253 — UFO Chased By Jets and Men In Black in an Ohio Park

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore Ed.


On July 14, 2013 The Jeffersonian published a story detailing a UFO, aircraft buzzing the area tracking the UFO, and Men in Back packing serious heat and issuing threats.

The anonymous witness is a fisherman who lives close to Salt Fork Lake.  He fell asleep on his boat and was awakened by lights in the sky. On the horizon above a tree line, he saw four sets of orange light clusters. "They looked like Chinese lanterns. Three took off and one fell back into the tree line. A short time later, jet fighters arrived and circled the area."

Later, he drove in the direction of the spot where he had seen the lights. He got out of his vehicle with a camera. An unmarked car pulled up and two men got out and told him to leave.  "They were big guys wearing guns" he said. "I wasn't going to argue with them."


He thought they might be FBI or other federal officials. An FBI spokesperson in Cincinnati said there has been no FBI activity in this area. A dispatcher with the Guernsey County Sheriff's Office had no information and officials at Salt Fork State Park said they had had no contact with the FBI.


The anonymous witness said he had also seen the lights on July 5th. He was with his girlfriend when they observed a similar clustering of lights. Similar UFO sightings were reported in Columbus the next day.

Alien Lore No. 135 - More on Edgar Mitchell's alien revelations - an interview with Moonwalker Dr Edgar Mitchell



Following up on our earlier article here (Alien Lore No. 134), here are some more of Dr. Edgar Mithchell's revelations from an interview.

Astronaut and Apollo 14 moon-walker Dr Edgar Mitchell claims that aliens exist. He says extra-terrestrials have visited Earth on several occasions - but the alien contact has been repeatedly and systematically covered up by The Government for six decades. Dr Mitchell, 77, said on the radio that sources at the space agency described the beings as basically textbook greys.

He also claimed our technology is "not nearly as sophisticated" as theirs. In itself that's not so shocking if you believe his story. Greys merely appearing on earth would indicate a civilization exponentially more advanced than ours, where our greatest success so far is to have a dozen people walk on the earth's nearest satellite, the moon. . .about 239,000 miles away.

The good part? "Had they been hostile," he warned, "we would be gone by now". Like Virgil Solozzo said to Tom Hagen in The Godfather. "If I wanted you dead, you'd be dead already .'

Alien Lore No. 105 - Alien stone/UFO Droppings (?) found near Seattle



A University of Washington (Seattle) aka U-dub research engineer Bill Beaty is about to test a piece of stone that was reportedly dropped from an alien spacecraft 60 years ago.

For many years, Philip Lipson and Charlette LeFevre, who run the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries, have been chasing a story that began in June 1947 when a government employee saw flying saucers only three days after a Tacoma man said UFOs had dropped metal and molten rock on his boat, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported earlier this week.

Lipson and LeFevre believe a B-52 bomber crashed 60 years ago while carrying slag from a UFO. A black chunk of rock is their best clue, and Beaty will test the rock this week.

"You can tell it's been liquid because it's all full of bubbles," said Beaty. "We have to look at the bedrock in the hill and see what's there. If it looks like that, then it's probably the same."
"If this is totally different than the bedrock that's there, then this will be very interesting," he added.

A B-25 bomber exploded and crashed twenty minutes after take off from McChord Field. The Bomber crashed near Kelso, Washington (one of the "tri-cities") after the left engine caught on fire.

A local newspaper article gave details about what happened aboard the plane. "Woodrow D. Matthews, crew chief of the bomber reported helping Davidson and Brown into their parachutes and that at the time he jumped, flames from the blazing left engine were pouring into the cockpit. It was reported that Brown was standing in the aisle ready to leave the plane ³ when Matthews himself jumped out. Brown was found at the crash site with his parachute harness on but had apparently returned to the cockpit. His body was found in the wreckage. Matthews related that the only reason he could see that the officers did not get out was that the left wing might have crumpled, trapping them in the plane. Woodrow D. Matthews, crew chief of the bomber who put the parachute on Sgt. Taff and saved his life was proposed for the Soldier's Medal. An FBI report states the left wing was found 125 yards from the plane impact site and likely fell off throwing the plane into a plummeting spin."

Kenneth Arnold received another call from Ted Morello who told him the B-25 bomber from Hamilton Field had been shot down by a 20mm cannon. The Tacoma Times headlines read

Sabotage Hinted in Crash of Army Bomber at Kelso
—Plane May Hold Flying Disk Secret—




The article by Paul Lance said the plane had been sabotaged or shot down to prevent shipment of flying disk fragments to Hamilton Field, California, for analysis. The disk parts were said by the informant to be those from one of the mysterious platters which plunged to earth on the Maury Island (see Alien Lore No. 104) recently. At McChord field, an intelligence officer confirmed the informants report that the B-25 Bomber had been carrying classified material.

In the Seattle Post Intelligencer August 3, 1947, an AP report states "Pieces not Located." Brig. Gen. Ned Schramm, chief of staff of the 4th Air Force said he knew nothing about reports that the plane was carrying classified or secret material. "As far as I know, the plane was supposed to come in here empty," he said, "and there wasn't a single, solitary, secret thing aboard".

Alien Lore No. 186 - Indrid Cold, The Grinning Man

By Jack Brummet, Alien Lore and Paranormal Editor


Indrid Cold

Even in the strange, often paranoid, twisted, and highly speculative world of Alien Lore and UFOlogy, The Grinning Man is a mystery.  The Grinning Man has been spotted several times during periods of intense UFO encounters (for instance, during the 1960s Mothman sightings). Maybe he has been seen around El Paso or Manhattan in the recent wave of sightings that were witnessed by thousands.

At the famous Mothman sightings, two teen-aged witnesses said he looked at them with what is sometimes referred to as a "s***-eating grin" on his face. According to researchers who interviewed the boys, he: “was over six feet tall, they agreed, and was dressed in a sparkling green coverall costume that shimmered and seemed to reflect the street lights. There was a wide black belt around his waist.”

The boys also saidHe had a very dark complexion, and little round eyes…real beady…set far apart.” Oddly,  “They could not remember seeing any hair, ears, or nose on this figure.” During the Mothman sightings, the grinning man is alleged to have telepathically told a witness his name was Indrid Cold.


The Grinning Man is an obscure figure associated with Alien Lore.   Some scholars and observers believe he is an alien, and others that he was one of the government's Men in Black.  Indrid Cold is thus far his best known incarnation.  He has been  investigated by notable paranormal author John A. Keel and ufologist James Moseley.

The most famous sighting of The Grinning Man went down on October 11, 1966 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. James Yanchitis and Marvin Munoz were walking home along Fourth Street.  Yanchitis noticed the weird man first. "He was standing behind that fence," he told investigators, "I don't know how he got there. He was the biggest man I ever saw." "Jimmy nudged me," Marvin Munoz told the cops, "and said, 'Who's that guy standing behind you?' I looked around and there he was... behind that fence. Just standing there. He pivoted around and looked right at us... then he grinned a big old grin." During the same period of time, on that same street, on the same night, a middle-aged resident of the neighborhood was chased by a "tall green man" The boys skedaddled as soon as they saw The Grinning Man.

According to paranormal investigator/journalist John A. Keel, and the UFO lecturer James Moseley,  Munoz and Yanchitis were interviewed by them separately and told the exact same story. "The man was over six feet tall, they agreed, and was dressed in a sparkling green coverall costume that shimmered and seemed to reflect the street lights. There was a wide black belt around his waist."  The freakiest part of the encounter is that "They could not remember seeing any hair, ears, or nose on this figure."


The Grinning Man, a/k/a Indrid Cold was linked to extraterrestrials due to a UFO report in the same area. A report states that a "blazing white light as big as a car" almost hit a 550-foot tall television tower near Pompton Lakes, New Jersey. A policeman and his wife witnessed an object move in a slow arc north, until it disappeared over some nearby hills. On the other side of those hills, two other cops--Sgt. Benjamin Thompson and a Patrolman, Edward Wester, of the Wanaque Reservoir Police, witnessed the same light at 9:45 p.m. as it flew over the reservoir. "The light was brilliantly white," officer Thompson said, "It lit up the whole area for about three hundred yards. In fact, it blinded me when I got out of the patrol car to look at it, and I couldn't see for about twenty minutes afterwards."

Numerous Grinning Man sightings happened in 1966, about the same time as the West Virginia Mothman sightings.  They are reported by John A. Keel in chapters 5 and 10 in his book The Mothman Prophecies.

On November 2, 1966, a man named Woodrow Derenberger was driving his panel truck home after work when he heard a crash. A vehicle raced up behind him, cut in front of him and slowed down. Derenberger said the car looked like "an old fashioned kerosene lamp chimney, flaring at both ends, narrowing down to a small neck and then enlarging in a great bulge in the center."

The UFO stopped on the road, and a door slid open. A man stepped out, wearing a "glistening green" uniform like the outfit worn by the New Jersey Grinning Man. Naturally, he was grinning.

The man communicated with Derenberger telepathically and said his name was "Cold", and asked him strange questions, and the two talked for a few minutes.  The Grinning Man said he would visit him again.



Another case detailed  in the Mothman Prophecies book, happened in the home of the Lillys, a family living in Point Pleasant. The Lillys claimed to see strange lights in the sky right above their home at least every night, and experienced strange events in their house.  Mrs. Lilly said "We've seen all kinds of strange things...blue lights, green ones, red ones, things that change color. Some have been so low that we thought we could see diamond-shaped windows in them. And none of them make any noise at all." Automobiles near the Lilly home would stall for no reason, and kitchen cabinets and doors inside the Lilly home would slam inexplicably in the middle of the night.  Mrs. Lilly said she sometimes heard a sound like "a baby crying" throughout the inside of the home.


John A. Keel, who investigated the Lilly family, asked "Did you ever dream that there was a stranger in the house in the middle of the night?" Linda Lilly, the daughter, said she had seen "a man, a big man. Very broad. I couldn't see his face very well, but I could see that he was grinning at me."

ATIT Reheated - Our most viewed story ever: The Indrid Cold story (Alien Lore No. 186)

Alien Lore No. 176 -- More X Files from Europe

Thanks to a good friend of All This Is That, Dr. Stephen Clarke-Willson, for another great tip.


















As you know from previous Alien Lore stories here, over the last year or so, Russia, France, and England have opened up and begun releasing their UFO/Grey/Alien files. Literally thousand of documents have already been released by these three countries, with many thousands more queued up for release as I type this.









The Brits just released their latest batch--including a letter saying that Winston Churchill ordered a 50 year cover-up of a wartime encounter between a UFO and military pilot.

The files, published by England's National Archives, "span decades and contain scores of witness accounts, sketches and classified briefing notes documenting mysterious sightings across the country," according to Reuters.









An unidentified letter writer in 1999 says that a Royal Air Force plane returning from a mission in Europe during World War Two was "approached by a metallic UFO." The author says his grandfather attended a wartime meeting between Churchill and Dwight Eisenhower during which the two expressed concern over the incident and "decided to keep it secret." The Ministry of Defence was unable to find any primary source materials regarding this claim: and , in addition, "... the MoD does not have any expertise or role in respect of 'UFO/flying saucer' matters or to the question of the existence or otherwise of extraterrestrial lifeforms, about which it remains totally open-minded."








An earlier release--an ATIT Alien Lore post,--details a 1995 sighting. A plane approaching Manchester airport experienced a near-collision with an "unidentified object," in which a witness claimed he saw a UFO "20 times the size of a football field." (Just about Independence Day-sized). An investigation failed to turn up anything.









"Prior to the demise of the Former Soviet Union, aircraft were scrambled some 200 times annually to intercept and investigate uncorrelated tracks penetrating the UK Air defence region (AKADR) from the north..." it said. The last scramble was in September 1991 -- just about the time the Soviet Union imploded.

Alien Lore No. 188 - Animal? or Alien in the woods near Baton Rouge? They say it's an animal, but it looks like a Grey to us.

Jack Brummet

Thanks to Jeff Clinton for this one.


A deer hunter captured a weird image of something wandering through the Louisiana woods one night recently.  WVLA in Louisiana (NBC 33) reports that a Baton Rouge hunter found this photo when he returned to the area in which he had a camera on a "deer stand."

On closer inspection, "the hunting camera was broken but the memory card was still there and so was this bizarre image."

Their description, "it looks like a cross between a human and an animal, with long slender appendages and glowing eyes," sure sounds like the classic EBE/Grey/Visitor/Zeta-Reticulan of alien lore.

Here is a classic Grey photo:

Alien Lore. No. 171 - Ancient Astronauts

By Jack Brummet
Paranormal and Alien Lore Editor

[ed's note: thanks once again to frequent news tipper Jeff Clintion.


The Ancient Astronauts have always been an interesting and even tantalizing theory. You may remember, if you were alive in the 1970's, Erich von Däniken's books--like Chariots of the Gods--that claimed the ancient astronauts gave us important technologies and enabled us (or even did it for us) to build monuments like the Egyptian pyramids, Stonehenge, and the Moai of Easter Island.

Generally, ancient astronaut theories postulate that we were visited thousands of years ago by Visitors. Some alien lore goes so far as to speculate that not only were we visited, but that we are the fruit of seeds planted by these ancient astronauts. In short, our great great great great grandparents were Greys or another form of alien who not only populated the earth, but left behind clues that would eventually enable us to fly and practice medicine and other sciences. This theory is shaky, considering that bloodletting was still standard medical operating procedure up until the late 1800's.  Only around the same period did we realize that hand washing and sterilizing surgical instruments would prevent infection and death following surgery.

Alien Lore No. 70 - Report on the Ontario UFO crash...



UFOlogists say there is a conspiracy by Canadian and American agencies to hide the information about a UFO recovered from a swamp in 1989.

In the 1980's, UFO sightings in Canada escalated to a fever pitch. . .specifically, around nuclear power plants. On Nov. 4, 1989, Canadian Defense Dept. radar picked up an object travelling at phenomenal speed over Carp, Ontario.

The UFO stopped suddenly, and dropped like a stone.

The Canadian and American governments were informed about the landing and triangulated the UFO to an area off Almonte and Corkery Roads. The ship had landed in deep swamp. Two Apaches and a Blackhawk chopper headed for the area the following night. The helicopters carried full weapon loads. They were part of a black-ops American unit that specialized in UFO and alien recovery.

The Apache attack choppers spotted a glowing, blue UFO, 70 feet in diameter sphere. Both gunships unleashed their full weapon loads of 8 issiles each. All 16 were exploded downwind from the ship. The missiles carried VEXXON, a nerve gas that kills on contact. Exposed to air the gas breaks down quickly into inert components. Immediately after having completed their mission the gunships turned around, and headed back across the border.

The Blackhawk landed and a six man strike team charged out and entered the UFO through a portal. No resistance was encountered. Three dead crewmen were found.

Later, a team of technicians shut-down the UFO. On November. 6, 1989, trucks were brought into the swamp and the UFO parts were transported to a secret facility in Kanata, Ontario.

The locals were informed that a road was being built through the swamp. The humanoids were packed in ice and sent to an isolation chamber at the University of Ottawa. CIA physiologists performed the autopsies.



The reptilian, fetus-headed beings, were listed as Non Terrestrial Entities.

The ship was partially reassembled at the underground facility in Kanata. Unlike previous recoveries, this UFO was no explorer or voyager. It was heavily armed and armored. No rivets, bolts, or welds were used in fastening, yet the craft has no seams--likie it was formed from one solid piece of magnesium alloy. It was powered by a cold fusion reactor. It had independently targeting electronic beam weapons.

Hmmmmmm. . . in the cargo hold, were fifty Soviet nuclear warheads. Their purpose was
revealed by advanced tactical/combat computers located in the flight deck. The aliens had agreed to defend China from the free world's combined military and nuclear forces.

The Soviet warheads found in the UFO were destined for Syria. CIA operatives in the Middle East have noticed huge movements of Chinese "technicians" and "advisors". China is also supplying the Arabs with bacteriological agents, Migs, Hind gunships, tanks, and
missile launchers.

The Warheads were hijacked from Soviet subs in the Dragon's Triangle. A section of alien controlled Pacific once frequented by Russian subs. After losing some 900 high yield warheads and 13 vessels, commanders were ordered to steer clear of the area. You think?!

Also discovered on board were spheroid, brain implants. The CIA and Canadian government had allegedly performed mind experiments for years, a continuation of the CIA psychological warfare project known as MKULTRA. Using signals transmitted at the same wavelength the human brain uses, researchers could control the test subjects. The alien implants utilize the same principles except that the whole unit is subminiaturized and contained in the brain. Fortunately the implants can be detected by magnetic imaging. All implanted folks are officially classified as Zombies.

The Zombies are programmed to help overthrow Mankind in the future. When China finishes with Israel it will invade Europe. Chinese bacteriological weapons will be launched at the Arctic. The winds will carry the diseases into Russia and North America. In days hundreds of millions will be dead. Anyione who survives will have to reckon with Chinese, aliens, and
the Zombies.



The aliens want all out war so that human resistance would be minimal, when they invade. They tried this same tactic once before with Nazi Germany. Most of the scientific advances we have today came from German science which was based on alien technology. Had Hitler won the war, the earth would have become a concentration camp to depopulate the continents for aliens.

Data aboard the sphere explained why the aliens are so comfortable on earth. Some 675 million years ago, an interdimensional war destroyed most of their civilization, and forced them to leave the earth. They have returned to take back their planet.

The story says the aliens will launch their attack soon, because if they wait too much longer, it will be impossible even for the aliens to reverse the ecological damage inflicted on the Earth by us.

Alien Lore No. 185 - The Greatest Story Never Told - Roswell and Commander George W. Hoover

By Jack Brummet
Alien Lore & Unexplained Phenomena Editor

[thanks Jeff Clinton for the find]

Commander George W. Hoover, the "grandfather" of satellite technology--a friend and close associate of Dr. Werner von Braun--revealed that the truth about Roswell is a lot weirder, and closer to the accounts long ago dismissed as wack-job conspiracies, than we ever guessed. 

Hoover worked many years with with the U.S. Office of Naval Research, won a bazillion awards and medals, made huge contributions to atmospheric balloon research and to Werner von Braun's Project Orbiter--which led to the launch of Explorer I.   After he retired from the Navy, he worked with NASA and various companies in the military-industrial-space complex. He helped develop the first flight simulators, and was a very accomplished pilot himself.



In the 1950's, Dr. Werner Von Braun said "Everybody talks about satellites, then nobody does anything. George Hoover's contribution should never be forgotten."   The Vice Chief of the Navy, Admiral Harry D. Fel, said praised Hoover's contributions and organizational and logistical  brilliance.

Commander Hoover is seated at the far left at the table

Some UFOlogists believe that Hoover also assisted Fred Durant in the early UFO government study group "The Robertson Panel" as well as other official--both public and secret--UFO studies.



" [Hoover offered] the driving spirit, organizing genius, imagination and foresight which set in motion the mighty effort toward the first man-made earth satellite, man's first step toward space flight."  - Vice Chief of the Navy, Admiral Harry D. Felt
According to Anthony Bragalia, and Aurimas Svitojus, George W. Hoover Jr. recently revealed some remarkable tidbits about his father, including: the fact that Hoover Sr., in his official capacity, learned the real story (if there is one) about the Roswell crash sometime in the 1950s, or even earlier.  He also told his son that he had seen "evidence about the Roswell crash event that convinced him that it was neither a balloon nor a hoax."  Hoover, Sr., however would not go beyond that, and offered no further details.  George Hoover also says his dad had "both a personal and professional interest in UFOs." 

George Hoover Jr. says that his father spoke numerous times of the Roswell crash during the 1960s. Remember, this was well before the explosion of UFOlogy/coverups/conspiracies in the mainstream media in the 80's.  In the 50's and 60's, it was rarely spoken of, and UFOs and Alien Lore were not a part of pop culture, or the American psyche in general. 


An article by Anthiony Bragalia says there may be evidence that Hoover assisted Fred Durant of the early UFO government study group "The Robertson Panel" as well as on other official UFO studies.
 

In 1995 George W. Hoover Sr. left his papers with an associate of the History Channel. Some of Hoover's hints about Roswell that he had made to his own son were later corroborated in private, off-the-record conversations that Commander Hoover had with researcher Dr. William J. Birnes.

Commander George Hoover finally revealed what he really knew about Roswell. He explained the truth, or at least whatever version of the truth he had learned about decades ago.  According to more than one source, that truth was mainly the following:

  • UFOs are not the "biggest secret" the government has been sitting on--it is the entities behind them (or, as wel prefer to call them, The Greys, that are of most concern
  • Roswell was  a crash event of "visitors from somewhere else"
  • The Greys were "not so much interplanetary as much as they were...time travelers." They visitors had transcended time!
  • The visitors are clearly "from the future." There is reason to believe that they may even be "us" from a future Earth, and are not actually visiting, but Coming Home.
  • These "future humans" have the ability to "manipulate reality around us."
  • The government feared the intentions and abilities of the "visitors."  Wouldn't you?
  • These visitors are able to use the power of consciousness in extraordinary ways to morph reality.
  • And, maybe the best, or, most hopeful part:  human beings are far more powerful in potential than we ever dreamed. We can't yet even comprehend our amazing future capabilities.

Alien Lore No. 104: The Maury Island UFO Mystery



The Maury Island UFO Incident is one of the seminal cases that helped launch the modern era of Flying Saucers, UFO's, crop circles, cattle mutiliations, hive activity, conspiracies, underground bases, pacts with The Greys, Majectic 12, and all the rest.

The Maury Island incident occurred in the summer of 1947 in the Puget Sound area. . .just a couple of miles from where I write this. Maury Island is located near the much larger Vashon Island, in Puget Sound, just off the Seattle coastline. The most incredible part of the Maury Island mystery is that it happened exactly two weeks before the famous Roswell UFO crash. Shorty after Maury Island was when Kenneth Arnold saw an armada of UFOs over Mt. Rainier (about 60 miles southeast of Seattle). The Maury Island incident was capped by the crash of a B-25 Bomber and the deaths of two military intelligence officers. This bomber was allegedly carrying slag, wreckage, and other rubble from the Maury Island incident. Incredibly enough, this was the very first time a United States Air Force plane had ever crashed.

On the afternoon of June 21, 1947, Harold Dahl saw UFOs over Maury Island. He and his son were salvaging logs with a crew in Puget Sound just iff Maury when they saw six doughnut shaped disks hover over the sound. One disk wobbled and seemed to be in trouble. The UFO descended in altitude to 500 feet above the water and was joined by five other saucers. The foundering disk dropped what looked like aluminum metal on the beach, followed by black slag. The slag wounded Dahl's son Charles and killed their dog.

Kenneth Arnold's UFO sighting happened an incredible three days later on June 24. A pilot and Federal Marshall, Kenneth Arnold, saw nine disks skip over the north face of Mt. Rainier. It was upon this was the sighting what newspapers coined the term Flying Saucer. Arnold was interviewed by local and national press (including Edward R. Murrow), and the story made headlines around the world

Kenneth Arnold was lit up on UFOs after his sighting and he responded to a request by Ray Palmer—a Chicago editor—to investigate the Maury Island sighting. Lt. Frank Brown and Capt. Davidson met with Kenneth Arnold and Harold Dahl and collected all the fragments of rock to take back with them to Hamilton Field. Their plane allegedly loaded with alien artifacts, as I mentioned earlier, crashed (See Alien Lore No. 105 for more on the crash--forthcoming).

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.
