The modern notion that humankind may have been influenced in ancient times by an intelligence far exceeding our own is not only popular; it’s almost endemic to Western culture. Among the faithful believers in paleo-contact, as Carl Sagan termed it, mankind’s earliest innovations were the result of an alien intervention, either by beings who showed us techniques that would lead to the formation of a civilized society, or by direct manipulation of our genetic substructure for purposes of speeding along the natural evolutionary process.
Conversely, more skeptical thinkers feel that to place our faith in an alien intervention in ancient times only works to undermine the spirit of human ingenuity. How, if aliens were responsible for the path we took toward becoming more advanced, contemplative thinkers, would these alien “gods” have managed to evolve themselves? It begs the question as to whether, going further back in the lineage of advanced intelligences in our universe, someone (or something) might not have been capable of doing just the same to our proposed alien teachers.
The paleo-contact approach is most often invoked by those who seek to find common ground between UFO reports, abduction encounters, and the mythologies of American Indians. However, a recent book on the subject, Encounters With Star People (Anomalist Books, 2012) looks at the phenomenon from both an historic perspective, as well as from the standpoint that modern day encounters with what many Natives call “Star People” are still occurring today.
“Ancient astronaut theorists maintain that Star People have been visiting Earth since the beginning of time,” writes Ardy Sixkiller Clarke, a Professor Emeritus at Montana State University and author Encounters With Star People. “To support their claims, they often portray the legends of American Indian tribes as proof of human interaction with the Star People. There are also many [modern] stories of UFO encounters, crashes, and extraterrestrials by adventurers, cowboys, military men, and miners in the Northern Plains.”
Indeed there are. One of the stories described by Clarke in a chapter titled “The Man Who Shot an Alien” details the story of Chauncey, an aging Native whose story didn’t involve the literal shooting of an “alien,” but instead a strange encounter with a “spaceman” who kindly attempted to take Blue Son, his faithful family dog. The story goes that a small “exploration” craft (some variety of small UFO) had apparently landed behind a butte near Chauncey’s home, and subsequently a thin, ghostly pale man appeared who apparently conversed with him. After their visit, Chauncey and Blue Son walked the visitor back to his vessel, at which time the alien being was said to have taken interest in the fact that the dog obeyed when Chauncey commanded it to “heel.” At this point, the spaceman gestured in such a way as to suggest that the creature board his vessel and join him, at which point Chauncey had laid his gun across his arm, merely as a measure of intimidation, expressing that the visitor be along his way… and without Chauncey’s dog.
The more modern reports of alien interaction and UFO sightings detailed in the book are all very unique in this regard, especially since they often seem to express an ongoing interaction between natives and the Star People, to the point of almost becoming commonplace in their culture and society. A number of reports also appear in the book that cover aspects of ufology that have more conventional parallels, including UFOs hovering over weapons sites, underground bases, alien abduction, and popular myths associated with spacefaring alien beings working as “liberators” of humankind, in some capacity.
Altogether, it is very interesting to see a thorough study of American Indian tales as they relate to the stories of Star People and related phenomenon, but not entirely having to do with the conventional notions of “Native American mythology” associated with legends that may, in truth, only bear some relation to UFOs today (keeping in mind, all the while, that many modern tribes still maintain the view that present day UFO phenomenon actually is a manifestation or, perhaps even a continuation of known visitations that occurred in the ancient past). Whether the mythos surrounding UFOs necessarily plays into a more complex, modern counterpart involving actual visitation by extraterrestrials is anyone’s guess; but the stories Clarke relates in her Encounters With Star People nonetheless inspire a lot of questions about the present day phenomenon. It is a field of study which, if anything, remains rife amidst the Native cultures in modern day America, and certainly points to some pervasive element underlying our legends and folklore that could, at very least, have some strange physical counterpart.

The International UFO Congress will be held
February 26 - March 3, 2013 at the Fort McDowell Resort and Casino in Fountain
Hills, AZ.
Tempe, AZ, February 08, 2013 --(PR.com)-- The International UFO Congress, the largest annual UFO
conference in the world, will be celebrating its 22nd year this February 2013 in
the Phoenix area. The International UFO Congress is a leading organization for
the research and documentation of UFOs, the search for extraterrestrial life,
and related information.
The conference will be held at the Fort McDowell
Resort and Casino February 26th – March 3rd. It begins on Tuesday the 26th with
the EBE Film Festival, an all-day event which is free to the public and features
various UFO and related films. Conference presentations begin the following day.
Conference admission will be sold in packages for those many guests who make a
week of the event, along with à la carte options available for those who just
want to check it out for an afternoon. Arizona students will receive a 40%
discount when they present a valid student ID at the door. The vendor room, film
festival, and skywatch are free and open to the public.
The conference
will feature more than 20 speakers and wide variety of exhibitors from around
the globe, and covers a large variety of topics related to the UFO phenomenon
including sightings, technology, government cover-ups, exopolitics, black
projects, crop circles, alien visitation, space, and more.
Panel
presentations on Ancient Aliens, Investigating UFOs, and Ufology in the 21st
Century will feature authors, researchers and TV personalities and provide the
audience a chance to interact with speakers and ask the pertinent
questions.
“We strived to pull together a more diverse and interactive
line-up this year,” conference co-organizer Maureen Elsberry says, “with both
topics and speakers that the general public as well as seasoned UFO researchers
can take away something new from. We’re not asking you to believe every speaker
you hear, were asking you to keep an open mind.”
One of the most exciting
events this year will be the free Night Vision skywatch on Friday March 1st led
by Ben Hansen, the lead investigator from the popular SyFy show Fact or Faked.
Night Optics USA, a Bushnell company, will be providing some of their latest
military-grade technology for the watch.
“We’re going to have literally
every genre of night vision equipment you can think of…we probably plan on
coming with $30-50k worth of equipment,” said Hansen. “Hopefully we’ll catch
something, the last time I did this I recorded something up in Utah that was
pretty crazy and I still don’t know what it was.” Night Optics USA will also
have a tent in the vendor room all week at the event where people will be able
to test the gear in a fun and interactive display.
The event will also
feature a cocktail party with local British Invasion band, The Rave, the EBE
Film Festival Awards Banquet, and a performance by local musicians the Austen
Mack Quartet.

About
the International UFO Congress: The International UFO Congress is an Arizona
based organization dedicated to the dissemination of information related to many
areas in ufology. It was established in 1991 and hosts an annual conference
which is the largest of its kind in the world. It features presentations given
by authors, researchers, experts, enthusiasts, and those who have witnessed
paranormal or anomalous phenomena from all over the world. It also provides a
forum to discuss the experiences and findings. This event usually has over 20
Speakers, a Film Festival, tons of vendors as well as experiencer sessions.
Topics generally covered are abduction, UFO sightings, UFO crashes, crop
circles, paranormal experiences, government conspiracy and much more.
Dan Aykroyd’s fascination with allthings paranormal is well-known.And his next movie just might be about the famous 1961 alleged alien abduction of Betty and Barney Hill.
Reporter Doug MacCash from the Times-Picayune recently interviewed Aykroyd at a New Orleans supermarket where the actor and comedian was signing bottles of his Crystal Head Vodka. When MacCash asked Aykroyd to describe his next film project, he “became suddenly opaque.” MacCash explains, “Instead of answering directly, he discussed his enthusiasm for a series of UFO sightings and milestone alien abduction case that took place in New England.”
From this response, MacCash speculated, “I’m just letting my imagination run wild here, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a movie about the 1961 Betty and Barney Hill extraterrestrial encounter in the offing.”
Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs (Credit: Graviton Entertainment)
Aykroyd has spoken publicly about UFOs many times in the past. UFO researcher David Sereda produced a 2005 documentary titled Dan Aykroyd Unplugged on UFOs, in which Aykroyd participated in an interview focused almost entirely on his UFO research. In April 2010, Aykroyd appeared among a panel of scientists on Larry King Live to discuss UFOs. When King asked him his beliefs, Aykroyd responded, “They are here, science should accept that they are here and look how they have come from a billion years in the future or the next dimension or wherever they are coming from. They have abducted people.”
With his belief in extraterrestrial abductions, and his fascination with the Hill abduction, it won’t be surprising if official confirmation of Aykroyd’s involvement in a movie about Betty and Barney Hill comes in the near future.
In September 2011, Open Minds was able to briefly interview Aykroyd about UFOs:

Massachusetts - 02-01-13
This video was shot on an airplane flight to Massachusetts.
(Editor's Note: This video was quite interesting to me because it has several objects in it. Of course, we can see part of the plane, a jet flying by, and then the unknown.
You can clearly see that the UFO is moving at a speed far beyond that of the jet. What do you think we are seeing here?)
Last month, Silver
Screen Saucerstook a peek inside Disney’s
oh-so-mysterious ‘1952’ box, which supposedly holds clues to what we might
expect from Brad Bird’s upcoming, oh-so-mysterious sci-fi project Tomorrowland (working title: 1952). We pointed
out that a magazine buried inside the box is an August
1928 issue of Amazing Stories, the
cover story for which – The Skylark of
Space – deals with the
discovery and implications of free energy; interstellar travel; and – contrary
to denials by the film’s screenwriter Damon Lindelof –
aliens.
Well, now we have a smidgen more info thanks to D23:
the Official Disney Fan Club, which recently asked the
Walt Disney Archives Director Becky Cline to help solve the other mysteries
presented in Brad Bird’s photograph. Cline has numbered the items in the ‘1952’
photograph (above) and shared the following with D23 (note, in particular, the
description of photo #4, which suggests a possible military link to this Disney
project):
"From the age, type,
and conditions of the items I can see, I feel that the materials in the
box were gathered together for a project from the past. Perhaps as research for
a science-fiction-themed film, television, or park attraction, or even a
futurism project like Walt’s vision of EPCOT."
"It looks like someone
reused an old banker’s box from another Disney production. We don’t use this
style of boxes anymore at the studio. There is another sticker on the cover of
the box, but the text on the picture is obscured."
"Someone put tape over
the original production label and hand wrote "1952″ in pen—the brevity of
the title and the fact that it’s handwritten sounds to me like it’s probably a
working title. Both the studio and WED often used working titles before they
came up with a final title of the project. “The Concert Feature” was what they
called Fantasia before they decided upon a final name for
example."
"On the top there are
some old photos. The three that I can see are of Walt with visitors, probably
taken here at the studio. The one on top is in our photo collection and I was
able to identify the man with him as Major Woodlief of the U.S. Army Reserve
General Fund. It was taken in September 1943. The Disney Studio worked closely
with the United States government and military soon after the bombing of Pearl
Harbor on December 7, 1941, and U.S. Army, Navy and Air Force elements were
stationed at the Lot for the duration of the war. I can’t identify the people in
the other photos, but we have the negatives for the photos in our collection.
They were taken in 1950."
"There is a large
manila envelope sealed with a loose sticker. It appears to have material in it,
but we can only guess its contents. From the size and shape of the envelope, I
would guess it might contain maps, brochures, or some other kind of folded
documents."
"The magazine that
appears along with this curious collection of documents and objects provides
more clues. It is a copy of the science fiction magazine Amazing Stories
from August 1928. I got a closer look at the cover by looking it up online. It
shows a man in flight wearing some sort of jet pack, powered by a
hand-controlled device of some sort. After doing a little more research, I
discovered that the cover story of that particular issue is the serialized novel
The Skylark of Space, written by Elmer Edward "Doc" Smith and Lee Hawkins
Garby. Walt was always interested in futurism and flight especially in the 1950s
and early ’60s; in fact, for Disneyland’s Tencennial Celebration in 1965, he
actually had a man fly down Main Street, U.S.A. with a jet pack. The man
also did flight demonstrations in Tomorrowland in the Flight Circle."
"There are two slide
boxes in the box, one features the Technicolor logo; the writing on the other
white slide box is indecipherable."
"There is a 45 rpm
record that appears to be a master disc. It is probably from the ’40s or early
’50s (these type of records pre-date magnetic tape recording). It’s definitely
not the kind of record that is pressed and sold to the public. Unfortunately,
its handwritten label is too blurry to decipher."
"There is a blue
paperback book in the box. The title appears to be Moral Research. The
spine has other writing that I can’t read—the author’s name could possibly be at
the top, but I can’t make it out. There is another name that looks to me like
"Roland"—probably the name of a fictive publisher."
"There is a small
white box on the right side that looks like the boxes we use to store individual
reels of 8mm film. There is no print that I can see for further
ID."
"There is a U.S. mail
letter on the right side. I can see two purple postage stamps, but the
denomination is not clear enough to read."
"Under the photos,
record, magazine, and the letter is what looks to me like one of the old
peg-and-screw albums we used to use here at the Studio for scrapbooks. It
appears to have more photos and perhaps art in it (artboard anyway). Under that
are the old string accordion files that we used to use for clippings, documents,
loose art, etc. And there are a couple of manila mailing envelopes,
too."
Whatever it’s about, Tomorrowland is scheduled for
release December 19, 2014.
There is probably not a single person within Ufology who isn’t familiar with the controversy of the Men in Black; those dark-suited characters who do their very best to silence members of the public to UFO activity. That at least some MIB appear to come from within government (although certainly not the majority – which are a very different and far weirder and ghoulish breed) begs two important questions: What happens when those on the inside of officialdom see UFOs? Do they get similarly silenced? Yes, they most certainly do. And here’s one perfect – but, until now, barely known – example.
In my first book, A Covert Agenda – which was published in 1997 - I made mention of a small (but nonetheless intriguing) body of evidence pertaining to the collation and investigation of UFO data on the part of the sprawling Government Communications Headquarters at Cheltenham, England – a body with the daunting and massive task of secretly collecting and analyzing intelligence data by all manner of sources: telephone-monitoring, email interception, spy-satellites, and more.
Moreover, GCHQ works hand in glove with the United States’ National Security Agency – an agency with a rich history of involvement in the UFO puzzle. Second, on more than one occasion reports have surfaced relating to the sighting of UFOs over the GCHQ complex itself. To illustrate this, on 29 March 1996, two security guards assigned to the facility viewed during the early hours of the morning a silent, brightly-lit object that over-flew their heads while they patrolled the base.
“We just looked at it,” said one, adding, “We weren’t frightened. We were just amazed.”
The other concurred: “I have never seen anything like it before in my life. It was travelling very fast. It definitely was not a plane.”
The response from Government Communications Headquarters when the media latched on to what had occurred was tight lipped: “No doubt they did see something but I couldn’t say what it was,” was the carefully worded response from a GCHQ spokesman. At the time that I wrote A Covert Agenda, little more of substance had surfaced with respect to the events in question; however, behind the scenes, major concern had been expressed on the part of senior staff within GCHQ, something which resulted in stern words delivered to the witnesses – as will now become readily apparent. Robin Cole – a Cheltenham-based researcher who spent much of the mid to late 1990s digging into the GCHQ-UFO issue – has been able to shed further and much welcome light on the 29 March 1996 UFO encounter reported by two GCHQ security guards. And to mention the disturbing aftermath.
In an interview with me, Cole said: “Both of the guards were so convinced by what they’d seen that they went to The Citizen – this is the local newspaper that covers the Gloucester area – and reported it. Well, the papers went on to publish their names and the fact that they were security guards at GCHQ. Normally, people who work at the base just say that they’re civil servants, because they don’t want to be associated with GCHQ publicly.”
Cole says he “…didn’t make too big a deal out of it,” but “…did try and look into it all a bit deeper.”
It so happens, Cole explains, that a member of a local UFO group he was attached to ”… knew one of the security guards and another member used to work at GCHQ as a security guard and knew the other one. Well, they then subsequently invited the two of them around for tea and got on to talking about UFOs – as you do!”
Basically, adds Cole, when the article in The Citizen appeared the two guards made a statement to his – Cole’s – colleagues along the following lines:
“We were both hauled in before our superiors the following morning and we were told that what we had seen was the Mir Space Station, and that we were to drop it unless we wanted to face severe action. You know how it is at GCHQ; they’re all paranoid. But we know deep in our hearts that this was not a space station. It was far too low in orbit and it just came over and stopped. It was there for several minutes and was then joined by a second light. The one then seemed to drop down quite low, and as soon as it started dropping, the pair of them just shot off. And we know it wasn’t Mir.”
As this case – just one of many – demonstrates, it’s not only the general public that is encouraged to stay silent when UFO events occur. Even those in the employ of government face the wrath of officialdom when daring to speak out about their UFO experiences…
Your Need to Know! Ep. 1 - UFO Briefing Document: UN Briefing Documents -The Best Available Evidence
Published on 6 Dec 2012
In this new series from Open Minds Antonio Huneeus takes a look at some of the most famous official investigations from around the world. The first in this series covers the UN Briefing documents in which Antonio was one of the people hired to craft by Laurence Rockefeller .
Your Need to Know! Ep. 2 - COMETA Report
Published on 14 Dec 2012
This next part in our new series, "Your Need to Know", we cover the COMETA Report. The name COMETA in English stands for "Committee for in-depth studies". This report was carried out over a several year period at the Institute of Advanced Studies for National Defense, or IHEDN, a high-level French military think-tank.
Your Need to Know! Ep. 3 - Project Blue Book
Published on 21 Dec 2012
This next part in our new series, "Your Need to Know", we cover Project Blue Book. Blue Book was the result of two previous Air Force study projects, Sign and Grudge, in the late forties and lasted until early 1970. It's purpose was to determine if UFOs were a threat to national security, and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data. The project went through many changes, but there can be little doubt that it played a pivotal role in the official history of UFOs in the USA.
Your Need to Know! Ep. 4 - Italy's Fascist UFO Files
Published on 9 Jan 2013
This next part in our new series, "Your Need to Know", Antonio Huneeus examines Italy's Fascist UFO Files. These files were originally delivered in the mid-nineties to famed Italian ufologist and author Roberto Pinotti, and sent on stationary bearing the seal of the Kingdom's Senate and Agenza Stefani, the regime news agency in charge of disseminating Fascist propaganda. Forensic analysis was done on the documents and they were found to be originals and not photocopies. Andrea Bedetti, a historian and expert on Italy's Fascist era, found that the stationary, aeronautical terminology and vocabulary were all consistent with real documents from the period. These documents contained written testimony describing in detail several sightings along with hand-drawn pictures. It also discloses that Mussolini and Ciano, Italy's number one and number two leaders were informed right away about the phenomenon. These documents also talk of the alleged creation of the top secret "Cabinet RS/33", led by Marconi, and included some of Italy's most prominent astronomers, scientists and aeronautical engineers. As things went sour for Italy during the war, all the files from Cabinet RS/33 were supposedly shipped to Nazi Germany, where they might have influenced the Italian aeronautical engineer Belluzzo.
Your Need to Know Ep. 5 - The RAND Corporation
Published on 28 Mar 2013
This next part of our "Your Need to Know" series, Antonio Huneeus examines RAND Corporation's UFO document, titled UFO's: What to do? The RAND Corp was originally an outgrowth project of World War II, called Project RAND, in May of 1948 it separated from the Douglas Aircraft Company and became it's own independent, nonprofit organization.
George Kocher of the RAND Corporation, published this document in November of 1968, a few months after the University of Colorado completed it's Condon Report. The RAND Corp document is broken into five different essays, Historical Aspects, Astronomical Aspects, The Character of Reports, Phenomenological Aspects, and How to Proceed and Why. These essays explore the types of reports and sightings, how they are categorized, and a list of hypotheses that exist surrounding the phenomenon. The document also provides an example of a detailed UFO report form developed by the University of Colorado's study group.
Your Need to Know Ep. 6 - UFO Documents and the "FBI Vault"
Published on 10 Apr 2013
This next part of our "Your Need to Know" series, Antonio Huneeus examines the FBI Vault UFO Documents. The Vault was created in 2011 as a storehouse for commonly requested FBI documents already released under the Freedom of Information Act. Go to Vault.FBI.gov, and from there you can easily search a multitude of topics ranging from counterterrorism to unexplained phenomenon.
The FBI recently revealed on its website that the most searched document is a simple one page memo, called the "Guy Hottel Memo". Its contents were written on March 22, 1950, by Guy Hottel, a special agent in charge of the Washington Field Office, and allude to the crash and recovery of the Roswell UFO. The memo ends abruptly with a sentence stating that no further evaluations were attempted. Major news organizations reported on this document being newly released, but it was actually released under the Freedom of Information Act, and available since the 1970's. Bruce Maccabee was the first to obtain this document, and he believes it to be part of an elaborate hoax.
Your Need to Know Ep. 7 - Canada's Official UFO Studies
Published on 8 Jul 2013
The next episode in our series is titled Canada's Official UFO Studies. We will explore two of Canada's UFO reporting agencies: Project Magnet and Second Story, both established in the early 1950's. Also we will examine some details of the infamous Shag Harbor UFO incident. This case is one of the very few where a government agency formally acknowledges an unidentified flying object. It was determined that no known aircraft was involved in the incident, so the source remains unknown to this day.
Your Need to Know Ep. 8 - Australia's UFO Files
Published on 30 Aug 2013
The next episode in our series is Australia's UFO Files. The National Archives of Australia holds a number of records relating to UFOs, flying saucers and other unidentified aerial phenomena. The documents became available in August 2012 under Australia's 30-year rule. This rule orders the release of government documents 30 years after they were created. Most of these records date from the 1950's to the 70's, when public interest in UFOs was high and many sightings were reported to Commonwealth authorities.
Your Need to Know Ep. 9 - Chile's UFO Files
Published on 8 Oct 2013
The next episode in our series covers Chile's government organization CEFAA -- [Comite De Estudios De Fenomenos Aeros Anomalos] translated into English, "The Committee for the Study of Anomalous Aerial Phenomena."
Chile is one of the few countries around the world that has a government-backed UFO research organization. In Spanish UFOs are referred to as OVNIs. [Objecto Volador No Identificado] In 1997 the country publicly recognized it was experiencing UFO sightings and that the phenomenon was real. Some incidents could not be explained by natural phenomena and could not be identified as any type of man-made object.
Your Need to Know Ep. 10 - Brazil's UFO Files
Published on 29 Nov 2013
The next episode in our series covers Brazil's UFO investigations. The government of Brazil has openly acknowledged the topic since the 1950's and has released a number of UFO files from their investigations. From 1969 up until 1972 Brazil had an official UFO research organization called The System for the Investigation of Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (SIOANI). It'd investigation were open to the public, and they would often work with civilian UFO researchers. However, when the US closed their UFO investigation program, Project Blue Book, the Brazilians soon followed their lead and closed SOIANI in 1972.
Your Need to Know Ep. 11 - Uruguay's UFO Files
Published on 28 Mar 2014
In this episode we will explore Uruguay's UFO investigations. Uruguay is one of the smallest countries in South America and witnesses have reported phenomenon in Uruguay since 1947. It is one of the countries where the military seems to be more open-minded towards the UFO phenomenon. In 1979 the President of Uruguay established the 'Commission for Receiving and Investigating Complaints of Unidentified Flying Objects' or CRIDOVNI as an official department of the Uruguayan Air Force. The commission receives, researches and investigates UFO sightings as part of their routine activity and they openly explore the possibility of extraterrestrial origins.
Your Need to Know Ep. 12 - Peru's UFO Files
Published on 8 Jul 2014
Peru has long been recognized as a UFO hotspot by Ufologists and researchers alike. Some believe that archeological wonders such as the Nazca lines and Machu Picchu are evidence that ancient astronauts visited the area and are possibly still visiting today. On top of its rich archeological connection and a large populace that holds an interest in the phenomenon, Peru stands out as a country that takes UFO sightings very seriously.
Your Need to Know Ep. 13 - China's Shocking UFO History
Published on 1 Oct 2014
It has always been difficult for westerners to coordinate with UFO researchers in eastern countries. However, China has amazing UFO cases, and the Chinese government has helped UFO researchers get their findings to the public. This episode of Your Need to Know covers some of those great Chinese UFO cases, and reviews how modern UFO research, with the aid of the Chinese government, began.
