Jeremy Corbell, investigative reporter featured in docuseries, told Fox News Digital, 'It really peels back the veil'

The "UFO Revolution" docuseries "blows up decades of conspiracies" and introduces vital whistleblowers that have led to unprecedented action by Congress and the Pentagon to find if there are extraterrestrial crafts threatening national security.

Jeremy Corbell, an investigative journalist and documentary filmmaker who's featured in the three-part series, said this whole project was "a big risk to my safety" but it was personal for him.

"I'm really happy that this series was able to peel back a layer of mystery about the UFO subject, and what it takes to fight to get the truth on this subject," Corbell told Fox News Digital during a phone interview Friday.

"I let them into my personal life, so they could see what it's like and what it takes to do this kind of work and what the adversarial forces are against you ... People take big risks coming forward."

Former DGSE Intelligence Chief Alain Juillet on UFOs: "These are systems against which our armies are incapable of responding"

Initially asked about the very nature of intelligence, he states: "Intelligence is something factual. We don't judge emotions; we're certainly not there to say whether something is good or bad! Our role is to gather facts and give decision-makers the facts. Then, it's up to the decision-maker to decide, based on policy, which direction to go."
**Q: Does the responsibility fall on the politician or on the intelligence services?**

Alain Juillet : When it comes to political strategy, it falls on the politician, but if the information is false, the intelligence service is indeed responsible - they have to remain factual. If they start interpreting, then mistakes are made. They say, "here is the reality of what we see". Then everyone does what they want with it; the politician makes the final decision.
Regarding UAPs [Unidentified Aerial Phenomena], Mr. Juillet declares:
"What is terrible about unidentified objects, flying or otherwise, is that these are systems against which our armies are incapable of responding. We are faced with something we do not control - and that's very serious because it means that since we do not master them, if they decided to attack, they could cut through us like butter. So, this poses an enormous problem in terms of national security in every country."

"Right after the Second World War, we would regularly receive information on unidentified craft and objects, but at the time, we would say - and that's always been the case - "that's odd"; but maybe these were witnesses who were hallucinating. Nevertheless, even back then, there were still questions. When very serious people - particularly from the military and from the air force - told you "I saw this, it was next to my craft", we wondered, "Still, these people aren't crazy, they're serious, what could it have been?" But, presumably, there were no issues, so we let it go."

"What has been happening for the past 20 years is that our measurement systems, our identification systems and our tracking systems have developed considerably with modern means, and so we have more and more identified and verified cases. Today, we have more and more cases where we say "yes, something indeed happened, and these are the pieces of information we could gather on it". So, that poses real problems when a politician asks a general "so, facing this, what do you do?" and the latter says "There's nothing I can do; I have no way to prevent this."

UAPs and Non-Human Intelligence: What is the most reasonable scenario?

mantis
Introduction

Allow me to start with a confession: although the topic of UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena, previously called UFOs) has always fascinated me, my reaction to confronting much of the related literature — beyond the safe harbour of a few serious authors — has been one of considered dismissiveness. In my view, a significant portion of the published material could benefit from greater rigor, empirical grounding, theoretical clarity, and logical reasoning. This field often appears to diverge from the standards of intellectual precision and level-headed analysis that hold in academia. However, recent developments over the past six or seven years invite us to re-examine the subject from a more open and inquisitive perspective.

Because there are so few — if any — consensus launchpads for such a polemical topic, I must explicitly justify each step of my thinking and, thus, cover a lot of ground in this long essay. I shall start, below, by motivating the validity of the mystery: UAPs are no longer just tall and questionable tales shared on social media, accompanied by grainy, out-of-focus cellular phone footage. Enough has been officially acknowledged since 2017 that the topic is now undoubtedly deserving of serious treatment. After laying foundations for my argument, I will then proceed to elaborate on what I currently consider to be the most level-headed and plausible account of the phenomenon. And to anticipate a question you are bound to be already asking, no, I don't think it is aliens from Zeta Reticuli; the facts may be a lot more surprising and closer to home than that.


Comment: It was always deserving of serious treatment. It was just that only a small handful of serious people had the stones to cover it.


Surprisingly much has recently been disclosed

In 2017, several videos of UAPs — soon to become known as the 'Pentagon UFO videos,' as they were recorded by infrared cameras in military aircraft — were circulating widely on the Internet. At around the same time, the story behind the videos was covered in a now-seminal report by The New York Times.

The videos seem to show airborne craft without wings or engines, flying and hovering deliberately, sometimes against high winds. They perform manoeuvres despite the absence of flight control means — no rudder, elevators, ailerons, thrusters, etc. — and display surprisingly high acceleration with no detectable means of propulsion. The US Department of Defence later officially acknowledged the authenticity of the videos, as well as the fact that the objects visible in them remain unidentified.

'10-foot-tall strange beings' caught on video traversing Brazilian island, alien rumors swirl - New York Post

© jblitoral, /InstagramHikers captured footage of what they claim were 10ft tall aliens on a hilltop in Brazil.
Maybe even aliens need a tropical vacation.

New video shows two giant, humanlike creatures strolling along the foothills of a small Brazilian island in what some believe is proof aliens are visiting Earth.

One of the 10-foot tall beings appears to take in the sights of Ilha do Mel, an island two miles off the coast of Southeast Brazil, as another stands closely behind, the footage shows.

They stand confidently on the top of the hill, which locals say is difficult to reach, with the shrubbery barely reaching their knees.

Comment: It remains to be seen just what was captured on the footage, however, as one commenter in the X thread pointed out: 'Why do they suddenly want us to believe in aliens?'

SOTT Focus: MindMatters: Dark Matter Monsters and the Sociology of the Paranormal with Dr. Simeon Hein

simeon hein
Let's face it. Bigfoot is real. The only question is, what is it? With now thousands of credible encounters that would be difficult to ignore or dismiss, we know many individuals have also observed a host of seemingly paranormal phenomena that quite often accompany these large strange creatures. Orbs, ball lightening, strange smells, space-time anomalies, electromagnetic fluctuations; not to mention witnessing these cryptids moving at super-fast speeds, and morphing into different forms; making our conceptions of what Bigfoot are very likely obsolete.

But what if some of the experiences of these beings, and others like them, has something to do with our tentative understanding of cutting edge science? What if what many have seen has much in common with the way that "coherent matter" works? Are there correlations between cold fusion, or low-energy nuclear reaction, technology and access to other realms of reality? And what have a number of leading scientists in physics been known to say about the fluid nature of reality?

This week on MindMatters we are pleased to speak with Dr. Simeon Hein whose recent book, Dark Matter Monsters: Cryptids, Ball Lightning, and the Science of Secret Lifeforms, is a serious exploration of just such questions.

'There are no aliens in Miami' - Cops debunk Bayside conspiracy theory in viral video

When dozens of Miami police officers descended on Bayside Marketplace on New Year's Day, immediate answers on what triggered the massive response were elusive. In the days since, authorities have told the public what occurred. But in that temporary information vacuum, social media and conspiracy theorists have shared their ideas of what happened: A mass shooting. A possible riot. An alien invasion?

On Friday, the Miami Police Department released an Instagram video to put the rumors to bed, sparking another flood of online conversation. It was more tongue-in-cheek this time since police revealed a bombshell truth in its video — aliens did not invade Bayside.

"There is now video going viral of 8- to 10-foot aliens walking around Bayside," police say in the now-viral video. "It is just a person walking with a shadow. So I can confirm to you all here today that there are no aliens in Miami [or] Bayside Marketplace, at the moment."

Defense specialist encounters unidentified object 'going faster than the speed of sound underwater' while doing classified work on the Navy's USS Hampton submarine

Satellites are searching for alien life on distant planets, but a scientist's strange encounter suggests we may want to look deeper into our world.

Bob McGwire, a professor at Virginia Tech and with the Institute for Defense Analyses, was carrying out classified work on the USS Hampton submarine when he heard the sound of 'something whizzing by.'

The onboard sonar determined the unidentified submerged object (USO) was traveling through the water faster than the speed of sound, he has claimed.

Such speeds underwater should have crushed the submarine, according to McGwire, but he said it was as if they were standing still.

McGwire said he urged the naval team to report the encounter, but they determined it would hinder the mission.

'When I left there with the knowledge in my head, not having been told to be quiet, not having been told it was classified... It is mine to tell whoever I want. They blew it,' McGwire said, noting he would not discuss the classified work done on the sub.

The strange incident happened in the late 1990s, but McGwire recently came forward with the story on the YouTube channel UAP Society, where he wanted to 'blow the whole thing wide open.'

'Deeply disturbing stuff' - Can the truth ever be told?

dimension ufo
A disclosure by media commentator Tucker Carlson, bearing no relation to partisan politics, was lost in news of war in the Middle East, the danger to shipping, and earth changes. Appearing on the December 12, 2023 edition of the Redacted news program on You Tube, Carlson astonished many by stating that there were aspects of the UFO phenomenon that were troubling due to their dark nature. "There is a spiritual factor I can't fully understand," he said, going on to say that these aspects were sufficiently disquieting as to make the subject one to be avoided. "Deeply disturbing stuff."

One would hope that this forbidden knowledge would be tantamount to a battleship salvo fired at the extraterrestrial hypothesis (ETH) and its obsession with marrying the phenomenon to alleged technological civilizations across the galactic gulfs. Astronomical surveys have thus far come across five thousand planets without finding signs of life, much less a star-spanning culture. Or, as other modern thinkers have suggested, a single civilization emerges at a time, only to flicker and die before being replaced by another, and a future space bound humanity may someday find their ruins.

In his 1975 opus The Mothman Prophecies, the late John A. Keel wisely observed that the ancients had found a solution to the enigma. "Three thousand years ago," he wrote, "a small group of brilliant men investigated and solved the mystery of unidentified flying objects. Since then, a great many others have approached the same mystery from different perspectives and solved it over and over again."

Michael Ian Black: UFO whistleblower David Grusch is my hero of 2023

There's at least a small chance that David Grusch will end up being one of the most consequential figures in history. On June 5, the former intelligence officer was the subject of an extraordinary article in The Debrief entitled, "Intelligence Officials Say U.S. Has Retrieved Craft of Non-Human Origin." At once, the 36-year-old retired Air Force officer went from combat veteran to whistleblower, making the incredible claim that the United States government, and/or its military subcontractors, has in its possession multiple partial or intact "alien" craft.

Further, he claimed, the U.S. began collecting these craft in the 1940s and has been studying them ever since — while denying their existence to the public.

Grusch also provided to Congress "hours of recorded classified information transcribed into hundreds of pages which included specific data about the materials recovery program." The following month, he went further, testifying under oath to Congress about the so-called "craft retrieval program."

Grusch is not the first person to make such claims over the years, but he is among the most credible. A decorated Air Force veteran, Grusch has the résumé of both a boy genius and a Boy Scout. Overnight, a man almost nobody had ever heard of became the perfect poster child for the growing disclosure movement, which seeks the truth about what the government knows regarding UFOs or UAPs.

'Demonic forces' stopped official investigations into UFOs in the UK

The government failed to properly investigate unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) in the Nineties over fears they were caused by 'demonic forces', the UK's leading expert has claimed.

Nick Pope, who led the Ministry of Defence's UFO desk between 1991 and 1994, has said the then chief of defence staff Lord Hill-Norton stopped investigating sightings after being influenced by a controversial priest.

There are also similar beliefs in the US government, he added, with politicians and officials frequently deferring to the Bible when the issue of UFOs, now officially known as UAP, arises.

'It's counter-intuitive that some official resistance to taking UAP seriously comes not from hard-nosed science-minded sceptics who think studying the subject is a waste of government time and money, but from a faction that believes UAP are real - but demonic,' said Mr Pope, speaking to Metro.co.uk.

'This stems in part from a biblical description of Satan as being "the prince of the power of the air" - a quotation from the book of Ephesians.'
