With no clear end in view to the Middle East war, critics are probably partly right in claiming US President Donald Trump has chosen to release numerous files of UFO sightings as an attempt to divert public gaze from stalled peace talks with Iran.
Well at the outset I’ll put my hand up and declare I’m no sceptic and as usual with my contributions, I have some skin in the game. Yes, I saw a UFO on a deserted island beach in Central Queensland about 20 years ago.
My blue heeler-cross best mate Dylan and I were enjoying a walk on a long, deserted stretch of sand on Wild Cattle Island at the entrance to Gladstone Harbour, one of Queensland’s busiest shipping ports, when an object emerged from above the tree line about half a kilometer to the south. It was black and wedge-shaped and it just hovered motionless maybe 100 metres or so above the beach.
I had some binoculars in my back-pack but while I was reaching for them to get a better look, it suddenly zoomed off out to sea without a sound and disappeared over the horizon.
What the —-? I knew that the big international war games Operation Talisman Sabre were in progress at Shoalwater Bay north of Rockhampton … could it have been a stealth bomber? Could they move like that? (Doubtful). Could it have been an unknown observer from God knows where?
Seeking some answers, as soon as I got home I phoned the civil aviation authorities and reported what I had seen. They informed me there were no known civilian or military aircraft operating in that designated area at that time. So officially it was “an unidentified flying object” and I had joined the ranks of people from all walks of life including numerous military and civilian pilots who have reported seeing one. And no, I hadn’t been drinking.
Even if the timing of the latest US release of numerous UFO sightings is questionable, the concept is nothing new, as shown in an article I wrote five years ago:
“ Meanwhile the US military has gone from the days of ‘deny everything’ that was the mantra of its long running Project Blue Book dating back to the 1950’s, to an admission that UFO’s are an inexplicable reality.
“This BBC report from June 25, 2021 states: “A highly anticipated US government report on UFOs (unidentified flying objects) has just been released. Here’s what we know so far.
“The unclassified report was demanded by Congress after numerous reports from the US military of vehicles seen moving erratically in the sky.
“It also follows a cultural shift that saw the US military and US political leadership go from extra-terrestrial-sceptic to ET-curious.
“But with little conclusive evidence to confirm or deny any intergalactic visitations, it remains to be seen whether any earthling minds will change.
“Military leaders warn that the technology, if not alien, may belong to US adversaries such as Russia or China.
“The UAP task force’s unclassified report found ‘no clear indications that there is any non-terrestrial explanation’ for the aircrafts, but also did not rule it out…”
Not much has changed since then, despite the flood of new sightings. These contain more than 160 declassified files from the FBI, NASA and the Pentagon, including investigative cases, radar data, sensor videos and military mission reports. They feature incidents dating back to the 1940s, including a 1947 report of “flying discs” and transcripts from Apollo mission astronauts who reported mysterious lights and unidentified phenomena in space.
According to Science News, “The mechanism behind the flashes described by Apollo astronauts remains a mystery. Perhaps the particles, which are components of cosmic rays, emit radiation as they pass through part of the eye. Or perhaps they trick nerve cells to create the illusion of light. However the flashes happen, they are still an issue for astronauts…” https://www.sciencenews.org/article/cosmic-rays-apollo-astronauts-light-flashes
Among the new files are videos and reports from 2024, including infrared sensor footage from U.S. military platforms and a report of a “football-shaped” object near Japan.
The administration framed this as “an historic transparency effort”, but officials and experts note the files offer no conclusive evidence of alien life or confirmed alien technology, and many unresolved cases are simply due to “incomplete data.”
UFO sightings occurred during World War 2 which is where the term “Foo Fighters” originated before it was purloined by a 90s alternative rock band formed by Nirvana drummer, Dave Grohl.
On November 27 1944, a Bristol Beaufighter crew from the 415th squadron—consisting of pilot Edward Schlueter, radar operator Donald J. Meiers, and intelligence officer Fred Ringwald—was flying a night mission along the Rhine River near Strasbourg. While the Beaufighter was structurally designed for a standard crew of two, this particular night-interception mission carried an extra person to monitor tactical operations.]
The crew spotted about 10 glowing, orange fireballs moving at extreme speeds off their left wing. The objects could not be tracked on airborne radar or by ground control. When the pilot turned toward the lights, they vanished and reappeared further away. Meiers coined the term Foo Fighters from a futuristic comic strip back in the day and the term stuck. Scientists, military analysts, and postwar investigators, including the Robertson Panel, suggested that the mysterious 1944 “foo fighter” sightings could be electrostatic phenomena similar to St. Elmo’s fire, ball lightning, or light reflecting off ice crystals. However, Allied pilots strongly rejected this theory.
Well, with a limitless universe I don’t find it hard to believe that somewhere out there, maybe there could be life forms more advanced and certainly more intelligent than ours. I can imagine them shaking their heads and doing their version of a ‘Kamala cackle’ at our adherence to beliefs including limiting climate variance to within a couple of degrees over the next century by spending multiple $trillions on unreliable, expensive and short-life “green energy” while we have boundless quantities of real, reliable, cheap energy beneath our feet.
Project Blue Book in the US investigated about 13,000 cases from 1959 to 1962, with more than 700 remaining unexplained, and it formed the basis of an excellent TV series on SBS several years ago.
Prominent astronomer, Dr. J. Allen Hynek, served as the project’s scientific advisor. Originally a staunch sceptic hired to easily explain away sightings, he eventually transitioned into a firm believer in the need for serious, systematic study of UFOs. But its investigations were limited to the US and it didn’t probe Ausltralia’s largest known UFO sighting at two Melbourne schools.
The 60th anniversary of this event was recently covered by media outlets including the ABC. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-04-06/westall-ufo-mystery-witnesses-want-answers/106126614
On April 6, 1966, more than 200 students and staff at Westall High School and the adjacent primary school in Melbourne reported seeing multiple metallic, disc-shaped objects in broad daylight.
The incident has since become a major topic in Melbourne’s south-east, prompting ongoing searches for an official explanation. Don’t hold your breath …
Witnesses described the object as a large, circular, silvery craft that moved at incredible speeds. Some students and staff reported seeing up to three objects, and alleged that government officials intimidated them into keeping silent while they confiscated photographs.
One can only wonder why, except it seems to parallel the treatment of some sightings covered by Project Blue Book and attempts by the authorities to explain them away as natural phenomena.
Cue the X Files theme. The truth is out there, Scully and Donald!

Good one John – Just imagine how impossible today’s ultrasonic jet fighters and giant passenger planes would have been to the Wright Brothers back in 1903, or even the great Bert Hinkler from Rum City (Bundaberg) when he flew a glider off the dunes at Mon Repos Beach in 1912 – let alone the Apollo Moon missions and later space probes.
There are obviously different types of UFOs out there and if they are indeed alien they could be using technology way beyond our comprehension. The copious US release notes that alien origin cannot be ruled out. Who would be dumb enough to think we are alone and uber intelligent given the dumb directions our political leaders are forcing on us.
Catch a plane going west and follow the sunset for an hour or so, quite pleasant above the clouds.
I had a little telescope about 100mm aperture and looked at Jupiter, could see 4 moons quite easily, got bored fairly quickly and sold it. We are told there is an “asteroid belt” between Mars and Jupiter, also we are told Mars has no magnetic field, somehow it disappeared or (?), maybe the sun was much warmer back then and the space aliens were destroying each other’s bases.
Maybe they made a treaty called “The Antarctic Treaty”, we don’t even know our own history before the ice-age and it probably went on for 100,000+ years.
[ The Chatbot says “the asteroid belt is only 4% of the moon’s mass” … but most of it could have exploded out of orbit. It says the magnetic field of Mars stopped when the core solidified because – apparently – magnets only work when metal is in liquid state. Who would have guessed. ]

‘Space may be the final frontier but it’s made in a Hollywood basement…’

AI- The line points to Hollywood’s power to create illusions and manufacture reality. By contrasting the “final frontier” of deep space with a cheap “Hollywood basement,” the song suggests that our grandest ideas—and the things we idolize—are frequently artificial fictions crafted for mass consumption.

Sometimes you have to look with your own eyes in order to stop believing the lie…In the 1940’s Encyclopedia Britannica taught that the world was flat, has a firmament, mentioned no such thing as ‘outer-space’…Then Admiral Byrd said too much on TV about more undiscovered land ‘over the other side of Antarctica’, so they made the Antarctic Treaty and created NASA (means deceit in Hebrew) and now most of the world believes the lie despite what can be actually seen with the eye…

More than twelve months ago I had absolute proof that the sun is local, with six witnesses who realized they had been lied to all of the lives, they were all older than my 50 years too. I was just walking the dogs and see these people walking from time to time. It was really easy to prove, the entire sky, horizon to horizon in every direction, was filled with really high odd looking grey clouds, possible weather engineering it is that rare to see, yet the sun was out, shining brightly, unhindered by any clouds whatsoever. You cannot un-see that! None of the six can either. My Grandfathers funeral in the late 90’s had the very same odd looking sky with sun out all day and it was 42 degrees in November, I didn’t notice though…I already knew last time I saw it.
+
Some of them wanted to know more…well there is no such thing as the ‘solar system’, the sun being provably local, the ‘Heliocentric model’ is a fraud, well, look who it is named after! Helios. Sun god. One of the ‘pagan gods’ played/acted by the ‘King/Queen with many names’, the one who is represented by Jew women joining B’nai B’rith as the ‘spirit of their mother’, the Nephilim hermaphrodite Lilith/Kali/Ishtar/Isis/Aphrodite/Artemis ()Apollo/Apollyon the Destroyer/Dionysus/Persephone/Medusa/Alexander and Alexandra the Great/Britannia the Great/Europa/Achilles/Paris/Baal/Baphomet/Moloch.

Hermes is also known as Mercury (<NASA ROCKET) who is also its sibling. Hermes + Aphrodite = The origin of the word Hermaphrodite. So you have the Apollo rockets and the new Artemis rockets…None of this is a coincidence! Wake up! YOU ARE BEING MOCKED!!!
Bit of a stretch. Entities from far away visit, fly around, then leave without a gig on Channel 7 Spotlight.
Yeah, nah.
My impression is that ‘sightings’ are more psychically elemental in nature.
If you have seen a UFO you are ahead of the curve, your psyche developed enough to have that intuition(s).
Thanks to the revelation of the method since 2020, I think more and more people are going to see UFOs.
Thank you Team Parasite, in particular a big shoutout to the death cult leaders, the Hollow Caste ‘survivors’.
Sadists transparently pretend to be permanent victims for the perks, too easy.
And Western leaders nod their heads sagely as a reproach.
The pressure exerted by the death cultists make psychic evolution inevitable.
Good. More UFOs incoming. No need for holograms, nor clever CGI, just be more humane.

The significance is that Jewipedia now says he was a completely innocent victim of the crazy, jealous “goyim”.
If you believe that…you ARE a “dumb goyim”.

But hey…just take the Jew’s word for it that our ancestors were just a bunch of primitive, jealous, and insane liars? And the Jew’s never did anything to deserve retribution?

What’s far more interesting are those old European oil paintings. Especially the Renaissance ones. The old European manuscripts and woodcuts are pretty interesting too. Back to the stars for some.
Hehe…this egoic dream-world doesn’t follow the rules we’ve been lead to “believe” it does. It can plant “evidence” into “the past” to corroborate perceptions and claims “in the future”.
.
This world is effectively a mass-psychosis. Perceptions do not equate with reality.
But of course; try telling someone they’re psychotic…seeing and believing and experiencing things that aren’t OBJECTIVELY real.
Well here we are. La-La Land.

(he apparently believes in the “space aliens”)
NoWhere : In the Sanskrit journal written way back when they had flying cars that had nuke ray guns they described in detail how to build a flying car that resembles a flying saucer .
In about 1901 an Indian chap built such a device and had it fly 1000 feet into the sky without a pilot until it did what it was supposed to do and returned to the ground in what was described as a crash landing.
Germany must have acquired the plans for there are photos of such craft in existence from the 1940’s and in about the 1960’s a few of these craft flew over Washington DC that looked like something out of a B grade Sci fi movie heading south ;with half of the US Navy in hot pursuit led by Admiral Bird who upon reaching an island at the bottom of Sth America watched one of his ships get vapourised declared that that Island was a an evil location and turned his fleet around and high tailed it back tho the US so it is written .
Did you know that the holy grail originated in France by a poet named Chrie’tien de Troyes in 1190ad and that it was originally described as a serving dish with communion wafers ?
Isn’t it interesting that the “UFO/extraterrestrial” sighting and reporting phenomena didn’t really take off until the later 1940s?

Most people don’t know it, but you’re already “living” within a virtual-reality dreamworld, it’s layered and super-imposed over actual Reality.
A metaphorical “Matrix”…it has access to your minds and body senses and perceptions…it can produce very real-seeming hallucinations…also if you believe and look hard enough you can see and experience just about anything.
That’s why the 5 senses cannot really be trusted. Seeing doesn’t lead to believing, believing leads to seeing.
Perceptions can be manipulated for nefarious purpose, and they are.
:
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.” Matthew 23:13
The “Kingdom of Heaven”= The Realm of Truth, is actual Reality, as GOD Knows it to BE. Anything else is a dream of deceit.
“Knowing” is better than “belief”.
Just as Reality is better than fantasy.
Our house has a view of the Pacific Ocean at about 200 ft up a hill and after a very violent thunderstorm last year when the crackling thunder ceased a flying craft appeared over the water probably 5 K away with a very bright light and just sat there and then the light became dimmer as the craft headed east very quickly until it became so small it disappeared .
Many years ago, when Flying saucers were just being written about, a German lady, whom I knew, spoke very seriously about the subject. She warned me, very earnestly, that if I ever encountered a triangular one to run a mile. This was before anyone reported anything other than “flying saucers”.
They may well be of the Earth, but not the “good guys”.
Lord Muck IPO’s his latest shares, now he’s got $1 trillion, the UFO’s are part of the marketing.
