UFOs: skeptics, disclosure, and contact

It's been a very long time since I read up on this stuff so forgive any errors, this is just shooting from the hip.

Doty did everything to Paul Bennewitz under orders although he may have interpreted them a bit too enthusiastically. IIRC the NSA was also involved and as weird as it sounds, I think J.Allen Hynek is the guy who supplied him with a home computer (a rarity then) that was under their control.

Bennewitz lived next to Kirtland AFB and the Monzano Nuclear Weapons Storage facility. He was an engineer and contractor for the government who noted some weird lights very low to the ground that the security guards paid no attention to so he called up the Air Force and as a loyal citizen reported what he saw. AFOSI sent Doty, he was probably just the guy on duty at the time. In the course of interviewing Bennewitz he found this engineer had picked up some very faint transmissions somehow connected to the UFOs, for lack of a better term. What he'd actually done was tap into ELF systems used to communicate with nuclear submarines and they most certainly couldn't have that.

Doty pulled Bennewitz in, or more accurate reeled him in to find out what else he might have discovered. Doty knew he was a Believer and not entirely stable so he was shown what was supposed to be the entrance so a secret underground base, a crashed vehicle and film footage of a purported extraterrestrial being held in custody. The NSA set up shop in his neighborhood and used that computer to convince Paul he really was speaking with aliens. Occasionally they'd do things just to mess with him like break into his house and rearrange all the furniture. In the end the man was successfully steered away from the highly classified material he had found at the cost of a nervous breakdown and later commitment to a mental facility. He either died there or soon after.

I don't remember what the low level UFOs were but it sounded like the security personnel weith eith oblivious of used to them. There was also extensive testing of high energy laser systems and (I think) that Leik Myrabo's light ship factors in there somewhere.

Doty was a professional disinformation agent and the Air Force has been dangling tantalizing stories in front of the credulous for their own purposes, not Disclosure. He became a state trooper somewhere, a desk sergeant and may have passed the bar. He has some chops, just not when talking about UFO. Remember, Bill Moore openly confessed to this and it still wasn't believed. This is the origin of many of the stories we unfortunately still hear about. You can concoct pure BS and it will live forever, tell the truth and you are ignored.

 

Deadline issued for UFO videos as Congress warns of 'threat' to US

Lawmakers have set a strict deadline for federal agencies to hand over secret UFO videos as officials warn the unidentified objects could threaten US forces.

Republican Rep Anna Paulina Luna penned a letter to the US Secretary of War requesting 46 specific Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) videos, telling Pete Hegseth to deliver them no later than April 14, 2026.

The requested footage includes dozens of military-recorded encounters showing spherical, cigar-shaped and Tic Tac-like objects spotted over war zones, oceans and sensitive airspace around the world.

Some clips reportedly captured UAP formations near Iran and Syria, incidents near US bases and airports and even a 2023 shootdown over Lake Huron.

Lawmakers said the footage could reveal patterns of activity near sensitive military sites and help determine whether the objects pose a national security risk.

'The lack of disclosure regarding the very real threat posed by UAPs in and around US restricted airspace is concerning,' Luna said in a statement.

'The Task Force has found responses from AARO, when questioned about UAP sightings and provided data, [to be] less than adequate.

'The presence of UAPs in and around the sensitive airspaces of US military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness.'

Those MJ12 docs came from legitimate 'continuity of government' materials that were modified so the bulk of them are legitimate but the intent and subject were skewed. They came from a roll of 35mm film that was anonymously dropped off in Jamie Shandera's mailbox in 1984. He was a TV producer with an interest in UFOs who immediately partnered with Bill Moore.

Bill Moore cowrote The Philadelphia Experiment and The Roswell Incident with Charles Berlitz who also wrote The Bermuda Triangle. According to Moore Berlitz once told him 'don't worry about truth just write the book'
Moore famously outed himself in 1989 as a disinformation agent working at the behest of the AFOSI who included Richard Doty in its ranks.

The Bermuda Triangle, Philadelphia Experiment, MJ12 and Roswell have been sufficiently debunked IMO yet refuse to go away and in fact seem to gain steam as they are presented to younger audiences. Yet they all come from very questionable sources. Old farts like me remember all this so when Doty starts in again talking nonsense I just roll my eyes.......................

Yep, that is the conclusion I myself reached back in the days when we were all on alien-ufos.com (I think that's what the name of the site was). I think a very long term program of soft disclosure coming in many drips is more likely to be real than not, since the USAF/DoD/US Government is painfully aware that they can't control what independent researchers, other countries, and the aliens and UFOs themselves do. I think Bob Lazar may have been a part of this. AFOSI or whoever decided to create a simulated UFO research program and expose a loose cannon like Lazar to it and then study how the public reacts.
 
This man is the biggest bullshit artist on Earth. Once a professional disinformation agent, later a self proclaimed expert who wants to write and consult in movies. A state trooper and possibly lawyer too. He was at the center of the Paul Bennewitz debacle. It was either Greg Bishop or Chris Lambright (I don't remember) that found him hiding behind this foolishness: Project Serpo

Project Serpo is an alleged top-secret exchange program between the United States government and an alien planet called Serpo in the Zeta Reticuli star system. Details of the alleged exchange program have appeared in several UFO conspiracy stories, including one incident in 1983—in which a man identifying himself as United States Air Force Sergeant Richard C. Doty contacted investigative journalist Linda Moulton Howe claiming to be able to supply her Air Force records of the exchange for her HBO documentary The ET Factor, only to pull out without providing any evidence to substantiate his story—and one incident in 2005 when a series of emails were sent to a UFO discussion group run by Victor Martinez claiming that the project was real.[26] Some variations on the conspiracy story state that the name Serpo is the nickname of the extrasolar planet.[26] Other versions state that it is a mispronunciation of either Serponia or Seinu by authorities involved in the project.

The first mention of a 'Project Serpo' was in a UFO email list maintained by enthusiast Victor Martinez. Various versions of the conspiracy theory circulated and were later detailed on a website. According to the most common version of the story, an alien survived a crash near Roswell in the later 1940s (see Roswell UFO incident). This alien was detained but treated well by American military forces, contacted its home planet and eventually repatriated. The story continues by claiming that this led to the establishment of some sort of relationship between the American government and the people of its home world, said to be a planet of the binary star system Zeta Reticuli.[26]

Zeta Reticuli has a history in ufology (including the Betty and Barney Hill abduction and the Bob Lazar story), having been claimed as the home system of an alien race called the Greys.

The story finally claims that twelve American military personnel visited the planet between 1965 and 1978 and that all of the party have since died, from "after effects of high radiation levels from the two suns".[26] Another version of the story claims that "Eight (8) Team Members returned on the seven (7) month trek home. Team Member #308 (Team Pilot #2) died of a pulmonary embolism en route to SERPO on the 9-month journey; 11 arrived safely. One (1) died on the planet—and both of their bodies were returned to Earth—while two (2) others decided to remain on the ALIEN homeworld of SERPO."[27]

One criticism of Project Serpo stems from the lack of veracity of one of its alleged witnesses, Sergeant Richard Doty. Doty has been involved in other alleged UFO-related activities (see Majestic 12 and Paul Bennewitz), and thus is a discredited source (or a purposeful provider of disinformation).[26] Additionally, there is no physical evidence supporting the project's existence.[26] According to Tim Swartz of Mysteries Magazine, Doty, who promised evidence to Moulton Howe before backing out, has been involved in circulating several other UFO conspiracy stories.[26] Swartz also expressed that the details of Project Serpo have varied considerably with different accounts.[26] It has been alleged that the entire series of posts were designed to be viral marketing for a new book by Doty.[28]

Bill Ryan, a chief proponent of publicizing the Project Serpo claims, announced on 5 March 2007 that he was stepping down from his role as webmaster for the Serpo material. Ryan nevertheless maintains his belief that an extraterrestrial exchange program did occur, although he states that the Serpo releases definitely contained disinformation.[29]

I now watched about x10 of these Doty's cases in order to form some kind of perspective.

For example Preston Dennett's cases all cross-reference with each other and with mainstream physics. Doty's cases don't cross-reference with anything, they are completely on their own. Many of Dennett's cases are multi-witness cases in which many people confirmed the case, but although Doty's cases have lots of witnesses he's the sole source so his cases cannot be verified.

As well, strangely enough, any of usual physical effects that appear around UFOs seem not to be present in Doty's cases.

So, there are 200,000 UFO cases in various databases, so Doty's cases won't add anything new.
 
This is well worth reading and still perfectly relevant. "Creation of the modern UFO myth" indeed.

@pigfarmer . . . finally here is chance to dispel your brother's teasing and get a good proof that UFOs are pretty real. Since you live near an airport, and since you are into cars you might have all it takes. According to this video UFOs are triggering X and K band radar receivers that are used to discover police radars that are hiding and trying to catch speeding cars.

This guy lives opposite Marina del Rey bay, California, USA, and this is what he's doing:

1. he is using a web app to find aircraft that will soon fly into area around his house, because, according to him, UFOs are trailing planes at 2,000 mph. At that speed UFOs are not visible by naked eye, but are with high speed cameras.

2. He gets his video equipment ready, and then he wait for Police Car Radar X and K band device to get triggered by UFO.

3. He just shoots UFOs.

Apparently he literarly has 1,000s of UFO videos.

UFO-linked scientist who warned 'my life is in danger' found dead becomes ELEVENTH mysterious case

A scientist experimenting with anti-gravity tech was found dead at 34 after warning that her life could be in danger, marking another mysterious case of deaths and disappearances in recent years.

Amy Eskridge was just 34 years old when she allegedly died from a self-inflicted gunshot to the head in Huntsville, Alabama on June 11, 2022. However, neither the police nor the medical examiners have publicly released any details of an investigation ever taking place.

Before her death, she was openly researching and trying to develop anti-gravity technology, a way to control or cancel out gravity, which could revolutionize space travel and energy production.

Anti-gravity propulsion has also been widely discussed by UFO researchers, who have claimed this advanced technology is what allows alien spacecraft to achieve impossible speeds.

Conspiracy theorists have also claimed the US military has been experimenting with this technology for years, but the government has denied that alien technology exists.

In 2020, Eskridge stated she was planning to present novel foundational work regarding antigravity but needed approval from NASA.

Since her passing, shocking details, including an unearthed interview with Eskridge herself and independent findings submitted to Congress have claimed that the death was not a suicide and was instead part of an elaborate 'murder' conspiracy.

Eskridge's death marks the eleventh person with ties to America's space or nuclear secrets who has died or mysteriously vanished in recent years, putting US national security experts on edge.

Trump administration to release UFO files featuring pilot encounters imminently: report

The Trump administration is set to imminently release UFO files containing encounters with pilots, months after President Trump teased the release of documents related to extraterrestrials, according to a report.

Representative Tim Burchett, a member of the House Oversight Committee’s Task Force on the Declassification of Federal Secrets, allegedly unveiled the timeframe during a West Wing meeting on Thursday.

“It’s going to start tomorrow (Friday),” Burchett told an independent journalist, who shared the conversation with the New York Post. “It’s going to have some stuff in there from pilots, and maybe one video.”

Sources told the publication that the materials could relate to encounters between U.S. pilots on active duty and unidentified aerial phenomena, another term for UFOs.

Representative Tim Burchett says that the White House could begin unveiling files about UFOs as soon as Friday, according to reports

However, according to the report, the first release will not include the 46 videos whose release Representative Anna Paulina Luna requested in a letter to the Department of Defense. Successive releases will be unveiled in weekly installments.

Burchett lauded President Trump as the “president of transparency and disclosure,” but admitted that “transparency won’t all happen at once.”


He added, “It will take some time.”

Trump, who directed federal agencies to release files related to extraterrestrial life in February, teased the unveiling of some “very interesting” UFO information last week.

“We’re going to be releasing a lot of things that we haven't,” he said at a White House event celebrating NASA astronauts. “I think some of it’s going to be very interesting to people.”

In April, he told supporters at a Turning Point USA event that the releases would begin “very, very soon.”

“So you can go out and see if that phenomena is correct,” the president said. “You’ll figure it out.”

On Tuesday, though, former President Obama threw cold water on the idea that the government actually had any extraterrestrial lifeforms in custody.

“Here’s the thing,” he said on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. “For those of you who still think that we’ve gotten little green men underground somewhere, one of the things you learn as president is the government is terrible at keeping secrets.”

Addressing conspiracy theories that the government is in possession of alien spaceships, Obama added, “I promise you some guy guarding the installation would have taken a selfie with one of the aliens and sent it to his girlfriend to impress her. There would be leaks.”

The former president went on to say that, should aliens ever make contact with the human race, he thinks that he would be a good “emissary.”

“I’ve got some experience at statecraft and diplomacy,” he quipped. “I’m friendly.”

Obama added, “But it hasn’t happened yet.”

As usual, politicians are scrambling to use this for their own partisan objectives. If Trump says aliens are real, the liberals won't believe it and if Obama says they are real, the conservatives won't believe it. As I've said before, Trump (or any other president) can issue an executive order to do anything under the sun but that doesn't mean its going to happen. Or, DOD might release just enough to make it look like they are cooperating and claim thats all they have. As I understand it, if something is classified and/or the release of it could be harmful to national security then they don't even have to acknowledge the existence of that information.

Overall, I think the real "disclosure" that is happening is the long term change in the basic belief held by most people that beings from other places or dimensions are real, even if bona fide encounters with them are rare. I study History (B.A. and M.A. degrees), and I believe this is irrefutable fact supported by primary sources from every civilization on Earth during every era. If the US Government ever does actually "disclose", it will just be finally admitting what everyone already believes.

Sadly, I've noticed that an inflated sense of self-worth will get you very far in life. Even if you were born sliding into home plate, keep shouting that you hit a home run and eventually people believe it. It sure worked well for both Obama and Trump.
 
As an old fart I am very surprised by this, I never really expected it to happen.

John B Alexander has been talking for many years of the over classification of material and the problems that creates. Among the nuggets there will probably be a lot of unexciting stuff we'll be wondering why were kept secret. Sean Kirkpatrick says not to hold your breath that there are no dramatic revelations in these dumps. Could very well be - the JFK RFK MLK docs didn't set anyone's hair on fire either.

Except the Corbell - Elizondo - Knapp - Coulthart contingent. I'm sure they are foaming at the mouth by now. Think of all the new grifting possibilities they'll have with this stuff.
 
I spent a fair amount of time looking at the documents from the Friday release. Alot of it is already open source such as news articles, as well as decades old stuff that was FOIA released long ago. The Apollo 11 transcripts, which I believe were only declassified recently, were interesting to read. They didn't contain anything surprising or conclusive, but did illustrate the fact that three very smart astronauts saw some things that they could not make sense of and even seemed to be disturbed by. I would imagine that this was classified mostly on the grounds that we didn't know if it was something the Soviets were doing or if they were aware of it, so we didn't want to give them any information.

I work in government records for a living, and can tell you that the people tasked with providing documents on behalf of the various agencies are probably going to take the approach of releasing as much material out there as possible, relevant or not, in order to accomplish substantial compliance. If you are expecting only stuff that hasn't been released before and/or has anything really juicy in it, fuhgeddaboutit, I guarantee the staffers tasked with it don't have the time to do that on top of all their other duties. Nor is it really their job to do so. As with the Apollo 11 transcript, their will be probably be some good stuff mixed in. You just have to look for it.
 

Mystery death of special agent sparks questions after claims he planned to expose UFO operations

A former special agent with the US government was allegedly set to become a UFO whistleblower before his unexplained death while relaxing in his own home.

Kevin Childress, a special agent with the US Department of Energy (DOE) for 30 years, reportedly 'died unexpectedly' at the age of 56 on August 31, 2021 while sitting in his home in Evans, Georgia.

While complications from Covid were allegedly blamed for the agent's death, UFO whistleblower Luis Elizondo claimed he had just spoken to a healthy Childress, who was preparing to tell Congress about the DOE's ties to secret programs involving Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP), the new term for UFOs.

Speaking on Crime Stories with Nancy Grace last week, Elizondo said: 'He was very concerned, and he said, "Look, the Department of Energy has a significant role in the UAP business, and I'm pretty upset by what I have access to."'

He added that Childress feared: 'Now that I've raised it through my chain of command, I feel that the Department of Energy is trying to keep me quiet.'

Grace, a television journalist and former prosecutor, noted that no public autopsy or detailed official cause of death was ever released.

The mysterious 2021 death has resurfaced in recent days as the FBI investigates a string of unexplained disappearances and deaths among America's space and nuclear research communities.

Moreover, Elizondo's revelation that the retired agent was about to brief lawmakers on 'sensitive scientific information' before his sudden death came just one week after the first batch of UFO files were disclosed to the American people - sparking unproven claims of a potential cover-up.

1779244485542.jpeg

Elizondo, who led the Pentagon's program investigating UFO sightings for ten years, claimed he had been in contact with Childress and was working on scheduling a meeting between the retired agent and members of Congress in 2020 and 2021.

'I was going to bring him there as a whistleblower and allow him to speak his piece,' Elizondo said during the May 15 interview.

Strangely, the public obituary for Childress mentioned his desire to reveal secrets regarding UFO sightings, stating: 'His investigative mind fueled his desire to bring open conversations surrounding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), and he was determined to find answers to the unknowns of our universe for future generations. He was taken away too soon.'

'That's actually what was the basis for our conversation we were going to have in Congress,' Elizondo added.

Childress had spent 25 years as a criminal investigator in the DOE, which oversees nuclear research in the US.

He spent more than 30 years stationed at the DOE's Savannah River Site in South Carolina. The facility has been the country's main site for producing tritium, a radioactive form of hydrogen essential for maintaining nuclear weapons.

Very interesting, and by the way also intriguing the same pattern repeating over and over.
There's an aspect to it though that keeps me kind of ouzzled, heck, how come these days bring forward suspicions about Dr. Matthew James Sullivan's actual cause of death, which occurred a couple years ago now?
Because, if two weeks prior to his death congressmen were so expectant about his testimony, then why not provide him THE BEST PROTECTION EVER during that time span?
Maybe there's a logic explanation to me, but it's gotten too much of a convoluted scenario for me to wrap my head around it...

Anyway, I'm just speculating here, but I could see a spin where the list is whittled down to just the UFO related cases. Burlison and Burchett could concede people like Thomas or Chavez aren't really that important and Loureiro and Grillmair were unfortunate victims of crimes, but McCasland, Sullivan and (as I just acknowledged) Kevin Childress had insider knowledge about UFOs that the committee was interested in and further investigations will be needed in these cases too.
 
Given the fact that he died in 2021, I don't think Covid is unreasonable. People were suddenly expiring left and right from it, especially in his age group. The problem with this sort of case is that, not only does it require a conspiracy of people to kill the witness and make it look like something else, but it also requires all the usual personnel involved in a death (attending physicians/nurses, coroner, funeral home, etc.) to all be fooled by the ruse or agree to keep quiet about it.
