Cryptozoology And The Paranormal

The Washington D.C. UFO Incident (1952)

From July 12th to July 29th, 1952, Washington D.C. was invaded by a fleet of UFO’s. In the beginning the object’s were spotted by the civilian population until the night of July 19th seven objects popped up on radar at Washington National Airport. Air traffic controller Edward Nugent spotted the objects 15 miles south of the city on his radar which was later corroborated by senior air traffic controller Harry Barnes. They noted the objects’ abnormal behavior of sudden turns, sudden acceleration and quick ascending/descending speeds. Two other radar technicians in a another tower spotted the objects on their radar and even saw one of the object’s with their own eyes, noting a “bright light” that moved at “incredible speed.” When the objects moved over the Capitol and White House Andrews Air Force Base was contacted who also spotted objects on their radar and saw an “orange ball of fire” that moved at “unbelievable speed.” At Washington National Airport they noticed objects on radar converging on the position of pilot S.C. Pierman on the runway who spotted 6 “white, tailless, fast moving lights.” After jets were scrambled and moved towards the objects the objects disappeared. After the jets returned to base to refuel the objects came back and were gone again at sunrise.

That wasn’t the last they were seen. The following Saturday night on July 26th the crew of a passenger plane noticed bright lights above their plane. After reporting the lights, both Washington National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base spotted the objects on their radar all over D.C. They witnessed that the objects would move slowly, sit still, and even move up to 7,000 miles per hour. Two jets were scrambled to investigate, one of the pilots pursued four white lights but couldn’t keep up and lost them. The other pilot reported the objects were “all round me.” When more jets were scrambled one pilot saw a white light that disappeared when he moved towards it. Civilian aircraft continued to see strange glowing objects in the sky throughout the night.

Both Albert Chop and Major Dewey Fournet from Project Bluebook were on site during the events on July 26th. It was recorded that the objects seen in the sky were made of solid metal and were not weather balloons. The public was anxious for answers so the USAF’s official statement was that the objects were simply meteors and illusions, however behind closed doors officials in the USAF and from Project Blue Book knew different. It is also worth noting that some of the pilots in the skies on July 26th saw nothing unusual. So what exactly happened? What were the object’s in the skies over Washington D.C. and why did they seem to move in a way that didn’t obey our laws of physics? Did these object’s have extraterrestrial origin? Why did they leave at sunrise? The answers were in the skies of Washington D.C. in July 1952 and may never be truly known.

CSETI UFO Sightings - Vero Beach, Fl

This is a very interesting video captured during a CSETI expedition in Vero Beach, Florida in February of 2015. CSETI were attempting to make contact with extraterrestrial spacecraft when a bright orange light appeared in the sky over the ocean. Minutes later a second beige orange light materializes next to the first one.

CSETI claims to be able to make contact with extraterrestrial beings by meditating and “reaching out” to them. Through this form of communication they claim to be able to invite the extraterrestrial spacecraft to their location, where they can then attempt to make peaceful contact. I’m not quite sure if these methods of communication are legitimate or not, but on multiple occasions it does seem to get results and video evidence like this video is captured.

Texas Mass UFO Sighting (2014)

On the night of August 11th, 2014 during a thunderstorm residents of southeast Houston, Texas saw strange lights in the sky. A few people managed to get photos of the mysterious lights and post them on to Twitter. The UFO in question had raised quite a stir with many people asking for answers of which they never received. All we have from the incident is 3 pictures, and many questions. Something interesting to note is the seemingly attraction of UFOs to electrical storms. This is not the first time UFOs have been seen near electrical storms, the question is why? Is it just coincidence or is there a purpose behind why electrical storms seem to attract UFO activity? We may never know what was in the skies that night, but many believe the UFO to be of alien origin.

“Butterfly” UFO over Ohio-Kentucky Border

There was a video that surfaced recently of this UFO flying near New Boston, Ohio. A father and son recorded an “eerily silent” UFO flying southwest into Kentucky. When zoomed in the details of the craft are quite striking. The UFO moved silently through the sky in the video and the father and son went home. On their way back home they spotted two military helicopters heading in the same direction about 5 minutes down the road. Does this craft look man-made or more like an alien spacecraft? Those who’ve seen this video are split in their decision? What do you think?

I couldn’t find a good quality raw video of this, but SecureTeam10 did a fantastic breakdown of the footage. I didn’t want to post his content on my blog but you can watch his video here.

What do you think? Stay curious!

The Greys

If there are aliens what do they look like? Do they look like people, walking reptiles, little green men? Well one very common description from witnesses of UFOs and aliens is of whats called a Grey. A Grey is described as being short, hairless, sexless, skinny beings with black eyes and grey skin. They are said to have small slits and holes for their nose, mouth and ears. Their bone structure is extremely visible due to how skinny they are. They typically stand at 4 feet tall, very rarely exceeding that height. 

Greys are seen in 43% of close encounters cases where witnesses actually see an extraterrestrial. These Greys were the ones who abducted Betty and Barney Hill and also were the ones who piloted the craft that crashed in Roswell. Those who have encountered them say they do not speak through their mouths but directly to you using telepathy. If these beings exist they are highly intelligent and obviously are interested in humans. Do they want to simply study us, or do they want something more? For now the answers remain hidden to us, for now.

The Fresno Nightcrawlers

For centuries strange creatures resembling nothing in nature have been seen walking in and around Fresno, California. These things have become known as the Fresno Nightcrawlers by most, but “walking pants” by others... including myself. Made up of what looks like long white legs and a small round head, it is unknown what these things are. They have been a paranormal and cryptozoological mystery ever since the first one stubled onto a security camera in the early 1990s.

The most common belief is that these things are not from Earth. Most believe these to be extraterrestrial or inter-dimensional beings. However they have not ever been linked to UFO sightings or related to extraterrestrial activity whatsoever. The main reason they are believed to not be of Earth is purely because of their appearance. Their appearance offers no predatory, or survival/competitive features. The creatures are lacking all features of what we could perceive as threatening, leading many to believe they are peaceful in nature. Its unknown if they truly are aliens, but local natives claim they have been in the area for a very long time.

If they are extraterrestrial what do they want? Why are they here? There is little known about these entities except that they occasionally walk into sight of security cameras. They will remain a very strange mystery for many years to come. 

Apollo 16 UFO

There are plenty of strange photos coming from the Apollo Moon Missions, and this one comes from Apollo 16 in 1972. Just above Astronaut Charles Duke is a strange glowing light in the sky. This is not the first time a similar looking object has appeared in photographs taken on the moon. There are plenty of strange and mysterious photos taken during the moon missions, this is just one of many. NASA has given no explanation to this photograph, leading many believe the object is of alien origin. Conspiracy theorists and UFO researchers believe that Earth’s moon harbors many alien bases that extraterrestrials use as field base when observing and traveling to Earth. They support their claims with similar photos to this, including ones that supposedly show structured buildings and “towns” in multiple photographs. They believe that we were told by these aliens to stay away and that is why we haven’t gone back since 1972.

The Mantell UFO Incident

On January 7th, 1948 a strange object appeared in the skies of Madisonville Kentucky. It was a stationary metallic sphere which hovered which is unlike any aircraft made by man at the time. The object was seen from a control tower at Fort Knox by multiple witnesses and four F-51D Mustangs were sent in to investigate the object. Among these pilots was Captain Thomas Mantell who was an experienced pilot and World War II veteran. He was praised for his heroics in the Battle of Normandy and is credited with over 2000 hours in flight. Mantell and three other pilots made their way towards the object. They all made their approach towards the strange object and all have seen it. Mantell described it as “metallic and of tremendous size.” One pilot returned to base to refuel, leaving the other three to pursue the object. The other two pilots called off their pursuit at 22,500 feet due to lack of oxygen, but Mantell was determined. He kept his pursuit of the object trying to identify what it was. At 25,000 feet Mantell blacked out from hypoxia, a lack of oxygen, and his aircraft started spiraling towards the ground. He crashed on a farm at the Kentucky-Tennessee border and his body was later pulled from the wreckage. The incident quickly became national news, and Mantell was honored for his service to his country. Many came to wonder why such an experienced pilot made the mistake of climbing too high to the point where he couldn’t receive oxygen. Rumor quickly spread that he was shot down by the mysterious UFO. Rumors that Mantell’s body was riddled with bullets and that the wreckage was radioactive spread like wildfire. Many believed that he was shot down by the UFO. The Air Force eventually revealed the crash report which refuted all of these claims, but did not say what the object was except if was of unknown origin. Is it possible that this was an Alien spacecraft and the Air Force didn't know what it was? Or was the aircraft man made and the incident was covered up by the Air Force? What do you think?

Titan: Saturn’s Moon Could Hold Alien Life

Titan is Saturn’s largest moon of the 62 that orbit it. It has an atmosphere which contains carbon compounds and has oceans of methane and ethane. It does not however have any liquid water… on the surface. Titan’s surface temperature is -179C, which makes all surface water frozen. However it is believed that the moon has subsurface oceans of a water and ammonia mixture that could harbor life. It is also said that it’s methane oceans could support life since it was proven that life forms can survive in the chemical. NASA believes that it could hold non-water based life. 

It has been rated the most habitable place in our solar system besides Earth, mostly because of its oceans. Many scientists at NASA believe Titan is what an early Earth was like, and that early life forms could be forming on it. NASA believes that it is the strongest candidate within our space travel capabilities of harboring life and wants to find out. They want to send a lander to Titan to search for extraterrestrial life but has yet to receive funding from the US Government.

Characteristics of a UFO

UFO’s are any aircraft you see in the sky that can’t be identified. The term UFO is typically used to describe alien craft, and here is how you can tell if it is.

The Shapes Alien craft are seen in multiple different shapes, most commonly are the cigar, sphere, the triangle and the saucer. The Lights Typically the flying object in question is emitting some kind of light. Sometimes the object itself is glowing and appears to just be a glowing ball of light. Other times there is a visible craft that has lights flashing on it. The lights are multicolored and flash at a fast rate. An airplane or other human craft has a red blinking light that flashes about once a second. The Behavior In general the craft seems to ignore the laws of gravity. They will hover for prolonged periods of time not moving at all. They will move at fast, supersonic speeds where they break the sound barrier but with no visible or audible sonic boom. They can go from absolutely still to supersonic speeds in the blink of an eye. When moving at high velocities the craft can make right angle turns without decelerating at all, which is a turning radius unachievable by any human made aircraft. They are eerily silent, very rarely will the craft ever make noise. When looking at a questionable aircraft look for these characteristics before judging its origin. We know there is life out there, and we know they visit us, just be sure what you are seeing isn’t a human made aircraft before jumping to any conclusions.

According to a survey, 54% of Americans believe that Intelligent Extraterrestrial Life exists in the universe. Of that, more than half were men. It is common however for Americans to believe in Aliens especially since it’s been such a big phenomenon in the country. Ever since the crash at Roswell Americans have been obsessed with aliens and ufos and many believe the government is in on a conspiracy to cover up their existence. Most even believe that Area 51 is at the forefront of such a coverup and is actually harboring UFOs and aliens.

Radio Signals Received From Deep Space Could Be First Signs of Alien Contact

When Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) were first discovered in space back in 2007 astronomers didn't know what to make of it. The bursts of radio waves only last milliseconds but it's enough for radio telescopes to pick up. A more recent burst has been tracked back to a galaxy 3 billion light years away, but what caused them? Theories have ranged from supernovas and material ejected from black holes, but there's is another theory. Researchers from the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics believe the FRBs could be of extraterrestrial origin. They think that we are receiving these bursts from propulsion systems from alien spacecraft, or from an "alien power plant" used to power their fast moving spacecraft. It's just speculation and in reality could have no truth to it whatsoever, but astronomers are wanting an explanation and aren't rejecting any theories. There's still no explanation for FRBs and their origin will remain a mystery for years to come.

The Men In Black

Pretty much everybody knows of the film The Men In Black starring Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. However the real men in black are no joke. Described as men dressed in all black, driving black cars, no facial hair and emotionless faces, these men are all too real for those who have come into contact with them. When asked, they always show impressive and high ranking credentials but never share their names. Always somehow related to UFO’s these men always find out about a witness and proceed to make contact with them to interview and silence them. It is believed by many that these men aren’t actually men at all, but are actually aliens themselves working alongside government agencies to help cover up secrets.

These mysterious men are known for terrorizing and silencing those deeply involved in UFO sightings and research. They frequently show up to UFO researcher and witness’s homes and let themselves in. They will proceed to interview and then threaten and harass their victims until they believe that they will keep quiet about what they’ve seen or learned. What frequently shocks their victims is how much information these men in black know about them and their encounter. The men can easily describe exact locations and times, and know more about a person than people would like them too. Those who have encountered them claim that they’ve felt overwhelmed with fear and it is effective in making them stay quiet, for a little while at least.

Encounters with the men in black are rare and have declined in the modern day, but were very frequent during times of heavy government involvement in UFO matters. They were even said to have been constantly involved in the Mothman phenomenon during its reign in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. These mysterious and threatening men are all too real, and it makes you wonder how many UFO encounters haven’t been told to the public after a witness was visited by the men in black. If you ever encounter a UFO and come into contact with mysterious men in black it’s probably best that you still come forward about your encounter, because whatever you saw, it’s important enough that powerful people don’t want the public knowing about it.
