'EXTRATERRESTRIAL' Organic Compounds Found Scientists Say

Security camera still of the fireball in the sky over Toledo, Ohio.

By Andrew Griffin

A fireball that fell to Earth in 2018 contains “pristine extraterrestrial organic compounds” that could help tell us how life formed, scientists say.

The meteor arrived on Earth in January 2018, as a streaking fireball visible across the sky of the US Midwest. Scientists were able to track it using weather radar, and hunters picked the meteorite up from the ground before its chemical makeup was changed by exposure to liquid water.

Now researchers say the material they recovered offers them the ability to explore such rocks as they might appear when they are still in space, but using the equipment they have down on Earth.

They describe their early findings in a new paper published in the journal Meteoritics & Planetary Science.

"This meteorite is special because it fell onto a frozen lake and was recovered quickly. It was very pristine. We could see the minerals weren't much altered and later found that it contained a rich inventory of extraterrestrial organic compounds," says Philipp Heck, a curator at the Field Museum, associate professor at the University of Chicago, and lead author of the new paper.

"These kinds of organic compounds were likely delivered to the early Earth by meteorites and might have contributed to the ingredients of life."

As the fireball arrived, researchers were able to track the pieces using Nasa technology usually reserved for monitoring the weather.

"Weather radar is meant to detect hail and rain," said Heck. "These pieces of meteorite fell into that size range, and so weather radar helped show the position and velocity of the meteorite. That meant that we were able to find it very quickly."

The first pieces were retrieved by meteorite hunter Robert Ward, who found it on the frozen surface of Strawberry Lake in Michigan. He gave his discovery to the Field Museum, which began the research that culminated in the newly published paper.

That research showed that the meteorite was an H4 chondrite, which represents only 4 per cent of the objects that fall to Earth. But it was even more remarkable because it was picked up so quickly that it remains relatively untouched by the conditions on Earth.

That could help researchers in their quest to understand how the organic compounds that helped life form arrived on Earth. One of the possibilities is that they were brought to the planet by similar meteorites, and so studying such examples could help us understand whether such a story is likely.

"Scientists who study meteorites and space sometimes get asked, do you ever see signs of life? And I always answer, yes, every meteorite is full of life, but terrestrial, Earth life," says Heck.

"As soon as the thing lands, it gets covered with microbes and life from Earth. We have meteorites with lichens growing on them. So the fact that this meteorite was collected so quickly after it fell, and that it landed on ice rather than in the dirt, helped keep it cleaner."

A large black triangle shaped craft about the size of four football fields filled the Pinetown sky

By Shaun Smillie

Something strange had blotted out the stars over Pinetown. Where the stars should have been on this clear night was a large black triangle shaped craft, perhaps three to four football fields in size.

The man who claimed to have seen this strange object ran into his townhouse complex to grab this cell phone and call his girlfriend.

But by the time he returned, the craft was no longer there. When something strange and unexplained is spotted in the sky, it is often Lee Strydom, the Mutual UFO Network SA representative who is called.

This was a good sighting and the witness, who happened to be a friend of Strydom’s, left him a message on his cellphone that night.

“When I got to work the next day, I had this message, he said that he saw something and it was coming in my direction,” Strydom explains, adding that his friend that night changed from being a non UFO believer to a believer.

Others in the town house complex had also seen the strange triangular object, but to Strydom’s frustration none of them wanted to be interviewed. Interestingly flying black triangles spotted at night are not that uncommon in UFO case files.

For decades there have been reports of them from across the world. Just this week someone reported to Mufon of sighting a large dark triangle craft in Penticton, British Columbia, in Canada.

There is even a theory as to what they are, and it has nothing to do with alien visitors. The suspicion is that these triangular craft could be a top secret US surveillance aircraft known as the TR-3A Black Manta.

The flying triangle sighting was an exception for Strydom, who has been the SA Mufon representative for six years. Most sightings that are reported to him are easily explained away.

Many of these sightings have been driven by the new unusual flying objects that over the last decade, or so, have begun cluttering South African skies. Sharing South African airspace these days are hovering drones, weather balloons and the biggest UFO let down of them all -Chinese lanterns.

“It’s difficult when you have got sightings where somebody will send you a report and they will say ‘Hey Man, I saw a light in the sky’,” says Strydom. “And I will ask, are there photos or other proof? And there isn’t. But there are so many different things happening in our skies that are natural phenomena, you get ball lightning, that people think are UFOs.”

Then, there are the hoaxes. The photographs of real flying saucers that appear in Strydom’s inbox. Here pranksters throw dinner plates in the air, photograph them and claim they are extra terrestrial vehicles.

Once somebody reported seeing the cartoon character Sponge Bob Square pants running around their garden. But on the odd occasion Strydom receives a report, where he can’t find a scientific answer and sometimes it is just a hunch that something truly unexplained happened.

Take what happened to a couple in the Northern Cape. And this case didn’t involve a UFO or as those in the alien hunting industry now like to call them UAPs, or Unidentified Aerial Phenomena.

As was reported to Strydom the couple were driving between two towns when they entered a massive thunderstorm. One of the worst they said they had ever experienced.

“It was at night and it was raining and there was this massive black cloud above them. They passed this road sign that said X town was 15 kilometres away.”

The couple continued driving through the storm for the next ten to 15 minutes. Suddenly the storm cleared and they were at the same road sign that marked that the town was 15 kilometres away. “So they hadn’t moved for 15 minutes, but they were driving. There was a time difference,” explains Strydom.

“This was very interesting because that’s not your typical I saw this light going across the sky. Whether he was lying, I don’t think so. The way he told the story, and how petrified they were afterwards, in my opinion makes it real.”

It suggests, believes Strydom, of possible time travel. The problem, like with many other sightings Strydom has been unable to corroborate the event with other witnesses.

Unlike his friend, who saw the triangle shaped UFO, Strydom is a believer. He said he saw a UFO when he was a child and he has been interested ever since.

“But I am very sceptical when it comes to sightings because most of them are either natural phenomenon or they are man made.” The organisation that Strydom volunteers for has been investigating UFO sightings since 1969. It is the largest non profit organisation of its kind in the world. They have representatives across the world and claim to have specialised teams that investigate possible physical evidence of extraterrestrial craft.

The organisation has however drawn criticism in the past, for promoting pseudo-science and moving away from its original mandate of UFO observations. Officially Strydom is the South African representative for Mufon, but he also handles cases from across Africa and even into the Middle East. One sighting he investigated happened in Israel, during a wedding.

“A woman sent me footage from a wedding, where they noticed something in the sky. When you slow down the footage, you can make out a cigar shaped UFO, then 30 seconds later it was followed by Israeli air force jets,” said Strydom.

That was a good sighting, there was video footage and several witnesses. But most aren’t like that, so for the future Strydom will continue sifting through those reports, weeding out the hoaxes and the explained phenomena. Then, just maybe, there will be one sighting that will prove what Strydom knows: that aliens have been visiting for thousands of years.

'The Phenomenon' takes grounded approach to UFOs with testimonies from government officials


By Amanda Cuda

Marc Barasch knows that, while many people are open to the idea of life on other planets, there's still a lot of doubt around extraterrestrials, unidentified flying objects and the like.

"It sounds like the stuff of science fiction," says Barasch, 71, of Berkeley, Calif. "It's easy for all of us, myself included to say, 'Well, it's a maybe.' "

Marc Barasch, son of the late writer Norman Barasch of Greenwich, has written the script for the new documentary "The Phenomenon."

The movie, which was produced by 1091 Pictures and is available for digital download, contains testimony from astronauts, UFO investigators and also government officials, including former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence Christopher Mellon and former Senator Harry Reid.

The film, directed by James Fox, comes on the heels of the Pentagon’s announcement of the establishment of an Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, which is charged with studying any aerial phenomena that could pose a threat to U.S. security.

In “The Phenomenon,” multiple sources state that UFOs have been under investigation by the military since the 1940s. The movie aims to be a serious examination of UFOs and UFO sightings, says Barasch, the son of the late Norman Barasch, a playwright, comedy writer and longtime Greenwich resident.

Indeed, “The Phenomenon” seems more of a journalistic documentary than a disposable “conspiracy theory” film, right down to the use of actor Peter Coyote — a mainstay of Ken Burns’s longform documentary series — as the movie’s narrator.

“The goal was to make it unassailable as possible with something that is still unknown, to take something out of the realm of myth into the realm of certainty,” says Barasch, a journalist who has served as an editor at the New Age Journal and Psychology Today. He is also CEO of Green World Ventures, which has worked in Nigeria, Ghana and now focuses in Kenya to develop a regenerative food industry.

Barasch has a long history both with documentary filmmaking and the field of UFOs. His work includes producing “One Child, One Voice,” a 1992 special designed to promote awareness of the Earth Summit in Brazil, and a 1995 episode of the documentary TV series “Secret History” on the alleged crash of an alien spacecraft in Roswell, N.M.

For “The Phenomenon,” Barasch says, he assisted Fox in taking years of footage about UFOs and UFO sightings to shape a narrative not just about UFOs, but the people who saw them, investigated them and knew about them.

The film shows case after case of people credibly describing seeing aircraft more technologically sophisticated than anything produced on Earth.

“These were far, far advanced from anything in our military capability,” Barasch says, adding that the crafts were described as moving as a rate of speed that would obliterate a human pilot.

“We are and have been visited by craft that are not of earthly manufacture,” he says.

The original plan was for the documentary to be released and shown in AMC theaters, Barasch says. But like many film releases, it got scrapped due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The film is now available via digital download, and Barasch says it’s been doing well, thanks in no small part to the news about the formation of the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force.

President Donald Trump was even asked about the task force in recent interviews and vowed to look into the matter.

Barasch says he’s proud of “The Phenomenon” not just as a film, but as a step forward in proving that there is life beyond Earth.

“I think this film is a breakthrough,” he says.

This Tiny Bar is Basically the Cheers of Area 51

By Krista Diamond

Where everybody knows your name. Unless it’s classified.

IT’S DUSK AT THE BORDER OF AREA 51 and I’m drinking a White Russian. Behind me, there’s a one-story white building emblazoned with hand-painted lettering: Earthlings welcome. A gray flying saucer dangles unassumingly from the back of a tow truck beside a glowing sign advertising a restaurant, bar, and motel. 

This is the Little A’Le’Inn, the only business in Rachel, Nevada: population 96. It’s a community gathering space, a welcome sight for travelers along the remote stretch of NV-375… oh, and it’s on the edge of a highly classified military installation/alien conspiracy-theory hub. 

“It’s just normal life for me,” says Connie West, who co-owns the Little A’Le’Inn with her mother, Pat. 

That normal life means offering a welcoming place for anyone to grab a drink, a bite, and maybe a rest in one of the on-site trailers. It just so happens that “anyone” includes UFO aficionados, curious naysayers, and workers who may or may not spend their days exploring the mysteries of the cosmos.

SURPRISINGLY, THE LITTLE A’LE’INN wasn’t conceived in an attempt to capitalize on the lure of Area 51. When West’s father purchased the business in 1988, it was simply known as the Rachel Bar and Grill. He intended to change it to the Little Ale Inn, but due to a mishap at the printers ended up with a logo that read the Little A’Le’Inn. A friend pointed out that the accidental punctuation seemed like a play on the word “alien.” 

Coincidentally, noted Area 51 conspiracy theorist Bob Lazar had just made headlines for an interview discussing his alleged employment at the mysterious military base. Lazar claimed to have worked on “Sport Model” flying saucers (he’s currently selling autographed sketches of them on Instagram) at aircraft hangars hidden in the desert mountains. 

The West family ran with it. They started cooking up alien-themed hamburgers, selling t-shirts decorated with flying saucers, and attracting guests from all over the world. Since then, the Little A’Le’Inn has garnered a reputation as a middle-of-nowhere destination for both believers and skeptics. 

“We’ve had people that come in and they are truly looking, as they say, to ‘go home,’” says Connie West. “They are looking for the mothership or a connection.”

The Inn draws a wide array of customers—”I am the only business and I have the only toilet in between Alamo and Tonopah, Connie notes—including workers from Area 51, though she says she doesn’t push any boundaries and prod them with questions. And the inn draws many, many would-be Mulders asking the same question: How do I get to Area 51?

Retired Air Force Lt. Col. Made Bold UFO Claim In His Final Interview

By Ed Mazza

Lt. Col. Robert Friend was in charge of Project Blue Book, the military's famous UFO study.

A retired Air Force official in charge of one of its most famous UFO research efforts said before his death last year that the effort may have been scuttled not because it was fruitless, but just the opposite. 

In a clip from the new documentary “The Phenomenon,” Lt. Col. Robert Friend pointed to the sudden closure of Project Blue Book in 1969. 

“Which would suggest what?” he asked before answering his own question: “That they knew what it was.”   

James Fox, the film’s director added: “Or didn’t know what it was.”

But Friend, who led Project Blue Book from 1958-1963, persisted. 

“Also the other way,” Friend replied with a telling grin. “That they did know what it was.”  

Officially, the project was shuttered despite some 700 open cases because it “no longer can be justified either on the ground of national security or in the interest of science.” 

But Friend, who died last year at the age of 99, suggested in his last interview that the shutdown could have been for another reason:

Friend, who was one of the Tuskegee Airmen during WWII and the only Black leader of Project Blue Book, heading it during the civil rights movement, was originally skeptical of claims that aliens had ever made the long trip to Earth. 

“Do I believe that we have been visited? No, I don’t believe that,” he told HuffPost in 2012. “And the reason I don’t believe it is because I can’t conceive of any of the ways in which we could overcome some of these things: How much food would you have to take with you on a trip for 22 years through space? How much fuel would you need? How much oxygen or other things to sustain life do you have to have?”

However, Friend also called for more study and said he believes there could be life elsewhere.

“I think that anytime there’s a possibility of scientific pay dirt from studying these phenomena, that yes, it would be much better if the government or some other agency was to take on these things and to pursue the scientific aspects of it,” he said. 

More recent revelations indicate that the U.S. government’s interest in UFOs didn’t end with Project Blue Book but have continued in other forms, much of which is detailed in “The Phenomenon.” 

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said in the film that the federal government has been covering up UFOs and that most of the evidence “hasn’t seen the light of day.” 

“The Phenomenon” is currently available via VOD.

Lawrence Frank ‘Larry’ Chesto, 84, investigator with Mutual UFO Network

By WY Daily

Lawrence Frank “Larry” Chesto, 84, passed away in his sleep Monday, Oct. 19, 2020, at York Convalescent Center.

Mr. Chesto, or, “Larry,” as he preferred to be called, was a decorated veteran who served in the Vietnam War with 20 years of service in the U.S. Air Force.

After military retirement, he went on to a second decades-long career as the director of Telecommunications Systems, Industry Activities, at Aeronautical Radio Inc. (ARINC) in Annapolis, Maryland. To honor his work, his name is inscribed on the National Air and Space Museum’s Wall of Honor.

Larry was born Aug. 8, 1936, in Danbury, Connecticut. He attended Bethel High School in Bethel, Connecticut, and graduated from the University of Connecticut (UCONN), later getting a master’s degree from Shippensburg University, Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. He was a devout Catholic, and member of the Knights of Columbus. He most recently attended St. Olaf’s Church, Williamsburg.

Larry was very proud of his Italian heritage and studied his genealogy extensively. He contributed a story about his grandmother, Francesca Margotta Cestone, for author Mario Toglia’s books about connections from Calitri, Italy. Larry had always had a passion for exploration and outer space. His early retirement was spent as an investigator for the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a U.S.-based non-profit organization composed of civilian volunteers who study reported UFO sightings. His hobbies also included fixing and rewiring practically everything, as well as travelling.

Larry was preceded in death by three wives, all whom succumbed to cancer. Carol Chesto (nee Ward), mother of surviving daughters, Dorney Chesto Ruck and Moira Parham; Linda Chesto (nee Smith), mother of surviving daughter, Shawna Chesto; Marcy Chesto (previously Fentress), mother of surviving stepsons, James Fentress and Martin Fentress. He is also survived by four grandchildren, Asher, Caleb, and Max Ruck and Olivia LeDoux; and two brothers, Anthony Chesto and Edmund Chesto. He will be remembered as a loving husband, father, brother, friend and will be greatly missed.

The family requests that in lieu of flowers, donations be sent to support the American Cancer Society or the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America should anyone choose. There will be a memorial service held at a time and date to be determined. His ashes will be interred in Arlington National Cemetery.

A Guy Filming a UFO Sighting Accidentally Crashed Into a Pole [VIDEO]

By Anna Blake

The truth may be out there, but you've got to be careful when you're looking for it.

A guy in China recently posted a four-second video on TikTok of what he believed was a semi-truck transporting a UFO down the road.

But he was so distracted by filming the UFO . . . he crashed into a pole. There's no word on how he's doing.

The time dozens of Korean service members claimed a UFO made them sick


By Jessica Evans

As a group of American soldiers were preparing to bombard a nearby village about 60 miles north of Seoul, the unit saw a strange vision up in the hills – jack lanterns wafting across the mountain.

Or at least, that's the story Pvt. First Class Francis P. Wall and the rest of his regiment told. Even more mysterious is what Wall and his buddies say happened after – a pulsing, attacking light that came with lingering and debilitating physical symptoms.

The year was 1951, and the US was 12 months into the Korean War. Stationed near Chorwon, PFC Wall and his buddies were completely unprepared for what happened to them in the Korean hills.

As they watched, an alien craft made its way toward the village. Artillery started to explode. Wall recalls that the object would get right into the center of an artillery airburst but never seemed to show any signs of damage. Later, Wall confirmed that the object could maneuver through sharp turns and seemed to have out of this world navigational capabilities.

Then all of a sudden, the object turned toward Wall and his unit. It changed colors from orange to a pulsating blue-green light, one so bright that it was almost difficult to look at. Wall asked his commander for permission to fire from his M1 rifle, but as the bullets hit the craft, they only made a metallic ding sound before falling to the ground. The object started to shuttle, sprint from side to side and flash its lights on and off.

What happens next is even harder to believe. Wall says he and his unit were attacked by some form of a ray that "emitted in pulses, in waves that you could visually see only when it was aiming directly at you. That is to say, like a searchlight sweeps around and the segments of light … you would see it coming at you." Walls told this to John P. Timmerman at the Center for UFO Studies during a 1987 interview.

Wall recalled a burning tingling sensation sweep over his entire body. Everyone in his unit rushed into underground bunkers and looked through the windows as the craft hovered above them. Then it shot off at a 45-degree angle. All of a sudden, just as quickly as it appeared, it was gone.

Three days later, the entire company was evacuated. When they finally received medical treatment, all were found to have dysentery and a very high white-blood-cell count. To Richard F. Haines, a UFO researcher, and former NASA scientists, the results sounded like symptoms of radiation poisoning.

So what happened to Wall and his buddies?

After the Korean War ended, dozens of service members reported seeing similar unidentified flying objects. The craft often looked like flying saucers. At first, many historians believed the sightings to be Soviet experiments based on German technology and foreign research. But after the fall of the Soviet Union, that theory was debunked, as several years of Soviet sightings were revealed.

From 1952 until 1986, the Air Force ran Project Blue Book, a study into unidentified flying objects and their threat to national security. When the project ended, the Air Force announced they'd discovered nothing unusual. But for Wall and others like him, they aren't so sure. If the craft had really been Soviet experiments, as so many suggested, then they would have appeared in other conflicts besides the Korean War. And since the sightings recorded by members of the Soviet Union so closely resembled that which Will witnessed, many wonder if it wasn't something else entirely.

Even though the vast majority of all UFO sightings turn out to be ordinary phenomena like clouds or human crats, there's still no conclusive evidence about what Wall saw. Without testimony from the others in Wall's unit, there's no way to corroborate what he saw, making it even more impossible to determine just what happened that day in the Korean hills.

Tucker Carlson Says There Is ‘Now An Enormous Amount Of Evidence’ That UFOs Are Real


By Tyler Mcdonald

Fox News host Tucker Carlson used a recent edition of his program to again touch on the purported evidence that supposedly proves the existence of UFOs, The Wrap reported.

“We used to be defensive on this topic, but there’s no reason to be. There is now an enormous amount of evidence, including physical evidence, that UFOs — whatever they are — are real. Why don’t we know a lot more about this? Because the government has hidden that information from us, outrageously,” he said.

The host pointed to a new documentary called The Phenomenon and played a clip from the film in which former Democratic Sen. Harry Reid claimed that the government is hiding physical evidence of the existence of UFOs.

“It’s outrageous,” Carlson said after the video.

The political commentator highlighted Reid’s claim that UFOs have repeatedly interfered with the United States’ nuclear weapons capabilities before jumping into another clip that outlined purported evidence of UFO origins. In particular, the video spotlighted metal debris collected by Dr. Jacque Vallee that allegedly come from UFO cases that date back as far as 1974. According to Vallee, the metal is unlike any known to man — “not natural” to Earth materials — and was “manufactured” by someone or something.

Later in the show, Carlson spoke with James Fox, the documentary’s director, as well as former Defense Department official Christopher Mellon, who previously praised proposed U.S. Navy rules intended to make UFO sightings easier to report. Notably, Fox delved deeper into Reid’s claim that UFOs were interfering with nuclear weapons capabilities and, in some cases, turning off missiles altogether.

“He went as far as even saying that if the president had called upon, to launch the missiles on several occasions, they couldn’t have done it. The missiles were deactivated.”

Mellon said that Vallee is one of the “foremost” private researchers examining the alleged UFO materials, which are reportedly being sent to multiple labs for analysis and peer review.

“But the gist of it is that those materials were engineered at an atomic level,” Mellon said, noting that humans do not yet have the capability for this kind of engineering.

Carlson has made multiple pivots to UFOs throughout the run of his show and has also touched on the topic on other networks. As The Inquisitr reported, the pundit appeared on an episode of the History Channel program Ancient Aliens and said that a source within the U.S. government claimed that it possesses physical evidence that alien aircraft have either landed or crash-landed on Earth.

New Glow-In-The-Dark Coin Recalls ’78 Clarenville UFO Sighting


By VOCM

The Royal Canadian Mint has issued a new glow-in-the-dark coin to commemorate an eery UFO sighting over Clarenville almost 42 years ago.

It was just before 2 a.m. on October 26, 1978 when RCMP Const. James Blackwood, along with several witnesses, watched as a brightly lit, oval-shaped craft hovered over the waters near Random Island.

The UFO made no sound but when Blackwood turned on the flashing lights atop his cruiser, the mysterious craft instantly mimicked the lights. It remained in the area for about an hour before suddenly rising up and vanishing into the night.

The artwork for the coin was created by Fogo Island artist, Adam Young.

The Clarvenville coin is the third in the Mint’s Unexplained Phenomena series celebrating the colourful retelling of a famous Canadian UFO event.

The coin is one ounce of pure silver and sells for $129.50. According to the Royal Canadian Mint, 90 per cent of the 5,000 coins minted have already been sold.

Pentagon UFO unit to publicly release some findings


By Donna Miller

The Pentagon group tasked with finding out unidentified flying objects plans to publicly release data on its findings.

The unit, now often known as Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon Activity Power, will report no less than some of its work to the Senate Intelligence Committee each six months — with some of the group’s previous officers hinting of attainable otherworldly artifacts, the New York Instances reported.

Eric Davis, one of many former officers from the Pentagon UFO program, mentioned whereas he labored there, the group discovered objects he believed “we couldn’t make … ourselves,” he instructed the Instances.

Davis additionally mentioned he gave a categorised briefing to a Protection Division company this March throughout which he elaborated on “off-world automobiles not made on this Earth.”

It isn’t instantly clear what will likely be detailed within the drive’s reviews to the Senate, although the objective is to decide whether or not different nations have made developments in aviation engineering past the US’s data.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), appearing chairman of the Senate Choose Committee on Intelligence, instructed a Miami CBS affiliate earlier this month that he wished extra readability from the duty drive as a matter of nationwide safety.

“We’ve got issues flying over our army bases and locations the place we’re conducting army workouts and we don’t know what it’s — and it isn’t ours,” Rubio mentioned.

“Frankly, that if it’s one thing from outdoors this planet — that may really be higher than the truth that we’ve seen some technological leap on behalf of the Chinese or the Russians or some different adversary that enables them to conduct this exercise.”

Rubio’s committee required the publicizing of findings as a part of a committee report on intelligence company budgets for 2021.

The committee mandates the duty drive “standardize assortment and reporting on unidentified aerial phenomenon, any hyperlinks they’ve to adversarial overseas governments, and the risk they pose to U.S. army property and installations. ”

“Perhaps there’s a utterly, form of, boring clarification for it,” Rubio added. “However we’d like to discover out.”

The UFO program started in 2007 below the Protection Intelligence Company and has since morphed and been moved below the operation of the Workplace of Naval Intelligence, the Instances reported.

Luis Elizondo, this system’s earlier director who resigned in 2017, instructed the paper he was satisfied the group has studied objects of unknown origin.

He praised the concept of delivering reviews to the committee as a manner to pull again the curtain on some of that work.

“It now not has to conceal within the shadows,” Elizondo reportedly mentioned. “It should have a brand new transparency.”

St. Petersburg family builds wild UFO Halloween display for haunted neighborhood hike

By Andrew Harlan

The creativity of residents in the St. Petersburg is inexhaustible. That is evident with the Bourne family’s intergalactic UFO Halloween display outside their Euclid St. Paul home. The neighborhood goes all out for its haunted neighborhood hike — and this year many put extra TLC into creating something special while acknowledging social distancing.

Sandra and Scott Bourne may have assembled the best Halloween Display in the entire city. A slender candy shoot protrudes from a UFO nestled on a tree in the family’s front yard. The entire display is complete with interstellar lights, alien projections and more. It’s the absolute bright spot we needed today.

Former Nevada Sen. Harry Reid Claims U.S. Government Is Hiding Facts On UFOs From Public


By Dana Sanchez

Former Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) said the U.S. government has information about UFOs that it has been hiding and covering up for years.

Reid, 80, served as a Nevada senator from 1987 to 2017. While in office, he sought to continue funding a Defense Department program called Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification that had had been discontinued.

In the new documentary, “The Phenomenon,” director James Fox asked Reid if there’s some evidence on UFOs that still hasn’t seen the light of day, Huffpost reported.

“I’m saying most of it hasn’t seen the light of day,” Reid replied. 

“There’s more than one up there,” Reid said, adding that he believes UFOs may have interfered with U.S. weapons.

The film examines the history of UFO sightings in and outside the U.S. with new details about encounters involving U.S. Navy pilots. It also details a 1967 report about how 10 missiles became inoperative over a U.S. missile base at the same time that a UFO appeared above the base.

The Pentagon studied recordings of UFOs in a classified program, launched at the request of Reid in 2007 that ended in 2012 due to lack of funding.

Luis Elizondo, the former head of the classified program, told CNN in 2017 that he thinks “there is very compelling evidence that we may not be alone. These aircraft — we’ll call them aircraft — are displaying characteristics that are not currently within the U.S. inventory nor in any foreign inventory that we are aware of.”

Elizondo said he resigned from the Defense Department in 2017 to protest the secrecy surrounding the program and the opposition to funding it.

“They did everything they could to stop the program from going forward … they wanted nothing to do with this … Nobody has to agree why it’s there. But shouldn’t we at least be spending some money to study all these phenomena? Shouldn’t we study this stuff? The answer is yes,” Reid said.

Instead, Reid said, “the federal government all these years has covered up, put brake pads on everything, stopped it. I think it’s very, very bad for our country.”

Elizondo described the documentary as setting “a new benchmark for disclosure” and “the most accurate and informative documentary ever made about UAPs (unidentified aerial phenomena),” according to “The Phenomenon” website.

The “unwarranted stigma” around UFOs has “prevented the government and academia from taking this important topic seriously,” said Chris Mellon, former deputy assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in Defense Department.

“The rapidly increasing number and quality of land and space-based sensors is making the UAP issue impossible to avoid,” said Mellon, whose voice is also included in the documentary.

In August 2020, the Pentagon announced that the U.S. Navy was overseeing a new task force to investigate “unexplained aerial incidents” that have been observed on several occasions by U.S. military aircraft.

The new task force — the Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force (UAPTF) — will report to the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security.

“The Department of Defense and the military departments take any incursions by unauthorized aircraft into our training ranges or designated airspace very seriously and examine each report,” the Pentagon said in a press release. “This includes examinations of incursions that are initially reported as UAP (unidentified aerial phenomena) when the observer cannot immediately identify what he or she is observing.”

Jo Wood: I'm a UFO spotter

Ronnie & Jo Wood

By Female First

Jo Wood admitted she loves searching the skies for UFOs after a strange encounter she once had on holiday.

The 65-year-old model and television personality - who was married to Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood for 26 years until 2011 – is convinced aliens exist after a strange encounter she once had while on holiday in South America and another odd experience she had whilst flying on a plane when she spotted something strange out of her window, so if the evening is bright she likes to go out in her garden to see if she can see any life from other planets hovering over the earth.

Speaking in HELLO! magazine, Jo - who has her own UFO-themed podcast 'Alien Nation with Jo Wood - said: “I really believe they exist. Ever since Ronnie and I saw this strange object hovering over the ocean before speeding off at supersonic speed - while we were on holiday in Brazil - I've been obsessed.

"On a clear night, I come out and stare up at the sky to see if I can see another UFO."

Earlier this year, Jo’s brother, Paul Karslake, tragically died from coronavirus complications at the age of 61 and she admitted the hardest thing about losing her sibling was not being able to say a proper goodbye to him.

She said: “"I can't believe he's gone. Before he died, I spoke to him on the phone and said, 'Come on Paul, you're going to be alright.' But he knew how ill he was.

“'No Jo, I'm f*****', he replied. The worst thing was not being able to see him. Even his funeral had to be online."

Jo previously admitted she is convinced there are aliens living among humans on earth.

She said: "I think there are lots of different types of aliens out there - from the classic 'greys' with the big heads and eyes to ones that can morph to look exactly like humans and secretly live among us. I'm sure I know a lot of aliens; there are some pretty weird people out there.

"I think that some aliens might be studying us. Others might just be visiting, like tourists - 'Let's go and have a look at that blue planet over there.' "

Sharon Osbourne on why she may believe in UFOS

 


By Herald Magazine

Sharon, Jack and Ozzy Osbourne are discussing whether Bigfoot is reality or fiction.

Jack, son of musician Ozzy and Sharon, has just shown them footage he says is "considered some of the most authentic", that shows what many have debated is or isn't the folkloric creature shown on a grainy black and white screen moving across a landscape.

It is all part of their new Really TV series titled The Osbournes Want To Believe, which sees Jack trying to talk his famous parents around into considering that supernatural activity and more may hold some truth.

"We did it all during quarantine and it was like 'Hey, do you want to do this thing? And they were like 'Absolutely, we'll do anything'. So it didn't take too much convincing," explains Jack.

The family is no stranger to appearing on TV together, having been one of the pioneers of reality TV with their MTV series The Osbournes back in 2002, which also featured daughter Kelly.

Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy, dubbed the Prince of Darkness throughout his stellar music career, is resolute when asked by Jack about if he believes in Bigfoot.

"No," he says emphatically, during the first episode of the programme filmed during lockdown, which sees Jack show his parents video footage of poltergeists, haunted dolls, UFOs and more, followed by a discussion and sometimes debate, about the veracity of various phenomenon.

Does Jack think father Ozzy, who spoke frankly about being diagnosed with Parkinson's disease earlier this year, is the most sceptical of them all?

He says: "Oh absolutely, he's superstitious, but he's a sceptic and a cynic when it comes to this kind of stuff".

The unexplained aside, Sharon, 68, is also no stranger to TV screens in the US and has been a co-host on American chat show The Talk since 2010.

She also appeared on UK screens as a judge on The X Factor.

She and Brummie Ozzy, 71, first met in 1970, and married in 1982. They went on to have three children - Kelly, Jack and Aimee, who has largely chosen to stay out of the limelight.

When Sharon reflects on filming the series, she says it was a "gift".

"Because we were all so bored and had you know, wanting to see each other, no work, no nothing, so it was like a gift... it was so much fun," she explains.

So has son Jack, 34, managed to change her mind on anything?

She says perhaps: "Probably about UFOs, because I've always been like 'Nah, what are you on about, (it's a) load of old rubbish, you know it's cartoon books, read too many cartoon books' but I definitely do think that there is something to it, well more than something to it, now".

Jack reckons it's about "re-gearing" what you know.

"I think it takes a certain kind of, you have to almost re-gear your understanding of things to be totally openminded to everything," he says.

"We're all told from a young age ghosts aren't real, aliens can't exist, all this stuff, Bigfoot is not real, (the) Loch Ness Monster is fake, and so it's almost like deprogramming that and hey, what if it is something but it might not be what we think it is, but it's still something that we don't know what it is".

It's something he's been interested in from a young age, but refers to himself as an enthusiast, and not an expert, on the subject matter.

He explains: "I've always been into kind of paranormal, UFO stuff and it started as a kid when X Files was the biggest show ever and I just geeked out on it.

"It's always been like my little kind of side interest and then I started doing Portals to Hell (a TV programme) in 2018 and it's just kind of been this weird world I've found myself in.

"I've very much covered it from an enthusiast kind of approach instead of like the expert, because I think it's odd to be an expert on something that isn't really proven".

Mother Sharon recalls his childhood interest in the area.

"It was something as he said from a child, especially living in America you'd go in a young boys bedroom and there'd be sporting team posters on the wall and things like that and Jack would have alien bodies on the wall posters, so it definitely has been with him a long time".

As has their interest in these things as a family, you could say, as the series sees Sharon reference a family trip many years ago that saw them go looking for Scotland's famous Loch Ness Monster, the mythical creature said to inhabit the loch on the Scottish Highlands.

"I think it was in 1996, and we went up to Inverness and we went on like a little random long weekend holiday and went on a little Loch Ness Monster excursion," says Jack.

Sharon adds: "Jack and Ozzy would go out to the loch at night and they had their torches, going ankle deep into the loch, looking for the monster".

"But no luck," quips Jack, "we never found Nessie".

Despite living in the US, the family still has strong roots in the UK, and still owns property here.

"We miss it terribly," Sharon says.

"We still have our house there, the house we talk about (in the show), we still have it, it's just that we haven't been over for a while but we miss the UK terribly, really, really a lot.

"And since you can't go you want to go more.

"You know we were meant to be there all of August, we'd planned, you know a long term plan, this is what we're going to do and we're going to go for Christmas and of course it didn't pan out and of course you just pine for it more.

"You know, you want what you can't have?".

The family are among millions staying put due to coronavirus travel restrictions.

But luckily, after rigorous testing and putting strict safety measures in place, they were able to film the series, albeit with a minimal crew.

"We were super cautious and tested everyone a day or two before we started filming and just cranked it out," says Jack.

"The biggest thing was trying to get our ducks in a row to make sure had some kind of system in place for filming during Covid, and we got four hours to do two episodes a day so let's just roll and that's exactly what we did and it was a lot of fun".

The Osbournes Want To Believe airs on Really from Monday, 9pm.

Ex Intel Official Says He Was the Source of the Pentagon's UFO Videos

By MJ Banias

Chris Mellon is a member of Tom DeLonge's To the Stars Academy and claims he got the videos "in the Pentagon parking lot."

In the recently released UFO documentary The Phenomenon, Chris Mellon, the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, stated that he was the source who provided the New York Times with the three infamous UFO videos it published in 2017.

Mellon, who is currently a member of Tom DeLonge’s To the Stars Academy, told filmmaker James Fox in an on-camera interview that he met with an unnamed individual in the parking lot of the Pentagon and was handed a package containing the three videos that formed the basis of the most important UFO article in many years. 

“I received the videos, the now famous videos in the Pentagon parking lot from a Defense Department official. I still have the packaging,” Mellon said. “This is a case where somebody bent the rules a little bit, and they did so for the larger good and we’re absolutely all better off because of it.”

 

Motherboard has been unable to independently verify that Mellon was the source of the videos, but his story tracks with everything we know about them. We know that To the Stars Academy ultimately published the videos, and Mellon was one of the earliest members of that group.

One of the New York Times journalists who worked on that story, Leslie Kean, also appears in the documentary. In that story, the Times unveiled a secretive Pentagon UFO program called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, or AATIP, and released videos shot by Navy pilots who intercepted a strange object off the coast of San Diego on November 14th, 2004. The pilots managed to shoot video of the object with their F-18’s gun camera. Two other videos recorded on January 21st, 2015, were released showing another anomalous aerial vehicle rotating while in flight and another object quickly flying over the water below.

Months earlier, in late August of 2017, the former head of AATIP,  Luis Elizondo, worked with the Defense Office of Prepublication and Security Review to have the three videos declassified. On October 4th, Kean met with Elizondo as well as other individuals where she was told about the secret UFO program. Elizondo told Motherboard that Chris Mellon was in the room as well, and showed Kean videos on a laptop. Elizondo believes that the videos Kean was shown were the three UAP videos in question, but could not confirm it outright because he was not looking at the computer during that time. 

Earlier that same day, Elizondo resigned from his position at the Pentagon. Only days later, Elizondo along with Mellon would appear on stage with former Blink 182 punk rocker Tom DeLonge and announce a new UFO research organization named “To The Stars Academy of Arts and Science.” 

As a result, UFOs have become a hot topic. Publicly, the Department of Defence established a new UAP Task Force on August 4th, 2020 to continue investigating UFO reports made by military personnel. However, previous statements by the Pentagon contradict this and seem to indicate that the Office of Naval Intelligence along with the Office of the Secretary of Defense has had such a task force well before August of 2020. 

Motherboard reached out to Kean and she stated that due to policies concerning source identity at the New York Times, she could not comment. Mellon was also unable to comment at this time and declined an interview. A spokesperson for the New York Times told Motherboard “the Department of Defense was the on the record source of the videos in our coverage. We don’t plan to comment beyond that.”

More UFO sighting stories from celebs


By  Brynley Louise

Celebrity interviews usually work to focus on whatever new project the interviewee is promoting, but there also needs to be a balance between “here’s this new thing” and also maintaining the likability & relatability of the star. Not to mention, celebs are on a press circuit they can get bored answering the same ten questions over & over again.

So, occasionally celebrities will admit to weird things, or tell never-before-told stories in order to entertain their fans & themselves. From believing in ghosts to UFO sightings, there are a few odd things celebs have admitted to.

Miley Cyrus

This is the most recent admission, so of course we have to talk about this one first. In an interview for Interview Magazine Cyrus says she once had an alien experience. She says that while she was driving with a friend through San Bernardino in California they both spotted a UFO.

She describes the object as a “flying snowplow” saying, “ It had this big plow in the front of it and was glowing yellow. I did see it flying, and my friend saw it, too.” She goes on to say a couple of other cars on the road stopped to view the object so she’s fairly certain it was real. She says she was shaken for about five days because there was an alien sitting on the front of the object and she made eye contact with it.

It’s worth noting Cyrus admits the sighting could have been due to some weed wax (one of the most potent forms of cannabis concentrate) she had purchased from a guy in a van in front of a taco shop. Though, she cites the other pulled over cars as evidence the sighting was most likely real.

Nick Jonas

Okay, we’re noticing a trend with late millennial Disney stars and UFOs . . . maybe Disney Channel is where the government keeps its aliens? That might explain some things.

It turns out Nick Jonas is also a firm believer in aliens and he had his first sighting at around age fifteen. He was playing basketball in the backyard when he saw three flying saucers. He asked his friend, “Are you seeing this or am I losing my mind?” His friend confirmed they also saw the oddity.

Jonas said he went online and discovered there was a similar sighting just two weeks prior. He’s been a believer in extraterrestrials ever since then and has cited District 9 as his favorite movie in some interviews.

Kesha

In non-Disney celebrities, Kesha has also admitted to seeing a UFO. In an Instagram post from 2017 she posted a selfie of a bedazzled UFO shirt and captioned it, “ufos are real. i have seen them. not playing.”

She also said in an interview once that the cover art for her album Rainbow was inspired by a sighting she had while in the desert. She said, “I was like, ‘Those are f—ing aliens.’ They were spaceships’”.

Kurt Russel

Kurt Russel (who is now one of our favorite Santa Clauses), is actually part of a rather famed UFO sighting. He was on an airplane and flying into an airport in Phoenix, Arizona when he spotted some lights in the shape of a triangle. He didn’t think too much of it at the time.

However, years later his wife, Goldie Hawn, was watching a UFO documentary which featured a segment on the Phoenix Lights sighting. Russel suddenly realized this sighting was on the same night as his odd sighting & the details all matched.

The Phoenix Lights are, to-date, the most reported UFO sighting of all time. They occurred on March 13, 1997 across the states of Arizona & Nevada, as well as the Mexican state of Sonora.

Ufologist seeks hillwalkers who photographed ‘UFO’ above Pitlochry in 1990

By Sean O'Neil

A paranormal investigator is asking two hillwalkers who photographed a UFO near Pitlochry in 1990 to come forward after the Ministry of Defence sealed records of the sighting for another 52 years.

Straiph Wilson in Calvine


Straiph Wilson wants to meet the pair who captured six images of an unidentified flying object over Calvine in Highland Perthshire in August 1990.

Images and files relating to the sighting were supposed to be made public in January after a 30 year wait but the MoD has now said the records won’t be released until 2072.

The Calvine incident happened on August 4 1990 when two men saw a large diamond-shaped object hovering for about 10 minutes before it shot upwards at great speed.

The pair said they saw military aircraft make a number of low-level passes while the UFO sat above the village.

One of the witnesses took six colour photographs of the daytime incident, which have never been made public.

The secrecy surrounding the Pitlochry UFO files and the 52-year postponement has heightened Straiph’s suspicions.

With the vital information relating to the sighting under lock and key for another five decades he reckons first hand accounts from the hillwalkers may be the only way to find out what really happened in the Perthshire town.

Straiph said: “That speaks volumes when the government does that. They’re trying to hide something.

“It’s one of the most important sightings in Britain, if not in the world.

“The pictures must be quite significant if we could get the two hillwalkers to come forward.

“Back then people might have been scared of the government but I don’t think they’re scared now.”

A former technician at Glasgow University and Stirling University, Straiph has been interested in the case since he was young.

With his background in science he has been left frustrated at the lack of information being made available on the sighting.

“Obviously working in science you have to be a realist,” he said.

“This is coming a bit left-field of science.”

Straiph is not alone in believing the Calvine sighting to be of significant importance.

Nick Pope, who worked for the MoD for 21 years, has seen the photographs and said they appeared to show a metallic spacecraft, 25 metres in diameter, in the sky over the village.

He added that military jets in the background may have been escorting or pursuing the UFO.

The former government employee said in 2012 that the image was “easily the most compelling UFO photo” he had ever seen.

The MoD said their records concerning UFOs have been transferred to The National Archives.

However, they are being kept classified for a number of reasons including the fact that the files may include personal information relating to living members of the public.

The hillwalkers or anyone with information relating to the sighting can contact Straiph at info@straiph.co.uk.

Khloe Kardashian spotted a UFO? Her UFO sighting story

By  Julissa Medina

What happens when your favorite celebrity says they saw a UFO flying in the sky? UFO sightings are often dismissed by naysayers who don’t believe in aliens, and it’s easy to ignore the deranged man on the street yelling about alien conspiracy theories. On the other hand, having a famous personality say aliens exist is quite unexpected – especially if that person is Khloe Kardashian. 

In 2005, Khloe Kardashian took her UFO sightings to Twitter, but that wouldn’t be the last time she saw something unusual in the sky. Let’s take a look at why Kardashian believes in UFOs.

It’s not a plane

Khloe Kardashian and her best friend Malika Hagg appeared on an episode of the Emergency Contact with Simon Huck & Melissa Gray Washington podcast. During their October 12th episode, Khloe opened up about a time she saw what she thought was a UFO while driving around Hollywood with Malika. (Turns out California is a popular vacation spot among aliens as well.)

“I did see a UFO. It was years ago, and I was driving my Hummer at the time, right?” Kardashian began. “We were driving and I saw one. We were driving by the Sepulveda area in the San Fernando Valley, and I told Malika and she didn’t look up fast enough and I saw a UFO.”

On the other hand, Malika didn’t believe a UFO flew across the sky that day causing the two to get into a heated debate. “She didn’t believe me. She missed it,” Kardashian continued. “Until this day, we argue about it. But I also have a UFO on video that I did see.”

Haqq said although she believes Khloe see’s UFOs sometimes, she isn’t sure Khloe actually saw one on that specific day together. “Now I know she’s really seeing them,” Haqq said. “The debate is really that specific day years ago. I did not see it.”

It’s not a missel

Unfortunately, Khloe Kardashian doesn’t have evidence she saw a UFO during their car ride; however, she does have footage of what appeared to be aliens shooting across the night sky back in 2015.

Khloe Kardashian is one of the many Southern California residents who’ve witnessed unusual objects in the sky. The government stated the sighting was just a missile test but Kardashian thinks otherwise; she quickly took her thoughts on extraterrestrials to Twitter. 

Khloe Kardashian asserted that aliens exist and shared her video of flying objects on Twitter. She got her younger sister, Kendall Jenner, involved by saying Jenner also saw the strange spacecraft: “Kendall and I are spazzing out,” she tweeted. “#WeAreNotAlone #UFO @KendallJenner,” she penned in another post.

Aliens amongst us

Khloe Kardashian called out the government for trying to conceal the existence of aliens after they explained what she saw was just a “naval test fire”. “Of course they are because the government doesn’t want to admit that we are not alone,” she wrote before adding, “No further details” yeah ok….. Thanks that’s because #WeAreNotAlone #AdmitIt.”

Although the existence of aliens & UFOs remains a mystery, Khloe Kardashian certainly believes in them. It doesn’t look like she’s backing down from her stance either, no matter how skeptical her friends & family are. 

People Want to See Kristen Welker Ask Trump and Biden About UFOs During Thursday's Debate

BY KELLY WYNNE

2020 has been a shocking year, to say the least, so is it really unrealistic that the topic of UFOs could surface at the next presidential debate? Believe it or not, some Americans want to see President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden address the topic of national security in a totally new way on Thursday night.

Bryce Zabel, writer and producer of NBC's Dark Skies, published a Medium article on Monday that questions if debate moderator and NBC reporter Kristen Welker could bring up the topic of UFOs during the final presidential debate before the 2020 election.

The post by Zabel references a few current events in which the Department of Defense acknowledged three legitimate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) videos, which were filmed by the United States Navy. A press release from the Department of Defense confirmed the videos' existence in April.

U.S. President Donald Trump speaks during the first presidential debate against former Vice President and Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden at the Health Education Campus of Case Western Reserve University on September 29, 2020, in Cleveland, Ohio.

In citing other reports of the American government investigating similar unexplained encounters, Zabel poses a possible question for Welker to ask at Thursday's event. "Given all of this, and the continuing worldwide sightings by other nation's militaries, plus a significant 70-plus year history of sightings by credible witnesses, what will be your Administration's policy toward this issue, particularly military encounters, and will you guarantee to provide the American people with a transparent review of the information without resorting to undue classification?" he wrote.

While Zabel is certainly one of the most outspoken Americans who hopes to see the extraterrestrial conversation brought up, he's not the first to ask for such questions, either seriously or jokingly.

So what are the odds of this actually happening? Very low, it seems—though, it's not impossible. Trump has already been asked about the existence of aliens, and he's apparently going to look into it. During a recent Fox News interview, Trump talked a bit about UFOs.

Host Maria Bartiromo posed a direct question to Trump, asking if there really are UFOs. "Well, I'm gonna have to check on that," he responded. "I mean, I've heard that. I heard that two days ago, so I'll check on that. I'll take a good, strong look at that."

At the moment, everyone who tunes in to the debate should expect to hear Trump and Biden talk about a variety of topics, including national security, COVID, American families, race in America, leadership and climate change, according to CNN. We'll just have to wait and see if UFOs make a sudden appearance.

Demi Lovato Claims She Made Contact With Aliens, Shares UFO Sighting Video

By Wendy Michaels

Demi Lovato has made contact with aliens and she has the receipts to prove it. The singer took to Instagram to share her amazing experience, complete with photos and video, and an explanation of how meditation helped her achieve the out-of-this-world connection.

Demi Lovato believes in aliens… and mermaids

Demi Lovato | Jeff Kravitz/AMA2017/FilmMagic for dcp

In a 2014 interview on Late Night With Seth Meyers, Lovato shared her take on whether she believes in aliens, saying, “I know that  [aliens are] real. How self-centered would we be as humans to believe that we are the only living things in the universe?”

You can’t argue with that logic.

Her beliefs don’t just involve extraterrestrials, however, as she pointed out her love of conspiracy theories. She also thinks mermaids are real after watching an “extremely convincing documentary” that convinced her.

Meyers was quick with a joke, saying, “The Little Mermaid?”


Lovato explained more about why she thinks these underwater aliens could be real. “You know Atlantis, how there was that underwater city?,” she asked. “I believe that there could possibly be mermaids, which is actually an alien species that lives in parts of the Indian Ocean, which we have never explored before.”

She continued, “And Christopher Columbus had actually seen three mermaids on his way to America.”


The mermaids aren’t what you see in books, according to Lovato, who said, “No, I mean they’re aliens!”

She said she doesn’t believe in Bigfoot or the Loch Ness Monster, however, and isn’t entirely convinced that the moon landing was real.


Demi Lovato claims she’s contacted aliens

Lovato has taken her beliefs to the next level, claiming that, through meditation, she was able to make contact with aliens and “witnessed the most incredibly profound sightings.”

In an Oct. 17 Instagram post, Lovato shared images and video of her experience. She included the details in her post’s caption, writing, “The past few days I’ve spent in Joshua Tree with a small group of loved ones and @dr.steven.greer and his CE5 team. Over the past couple months I have dug deep into the science of consciousness and experienced not only peace and serenity like I’ve never known but I also have witnessed the most incredibly profound sightings both in the sky as well as feet away from me.”

She continued, “This planet is on a very negative path towards destruction but WE can change that together. If we were to get 1% of the population to meditate and make contact, we would force our governments to acknowledge the truth about extraterrestrial life among us and change our destructive habits destroying our planet.”

“This is just some of the evidence from under the stars in the desert sky that can no longer be ignored and must be shared immediately,” the singer added. “To make contact yourself you can download the CE5 app and it will teach you the protocols to connect to life form beyond our planet!! (Ps, if it doesn’t happen on the first try — keep trying — it took me several sessions to tap into a deep enough level of meditation to make contact!) Happy communicating.”
