The Black Knight from Space

By John Carter In Disneyland of the Gods, John Keel writes of the Black Knight satellite. Never mind the almanac. You won’t find it listed with Sputnik or Explorer. Black Knight is the name given to a radar blip discovered in 1960. This mystery satellite was found in a polar orbit, something neither the US nor the Soviets had accomplished. It was several times larger and several times heavier than anything capable of being launched with 1960 rockets. It shouldn’t have been there, but it was. If that weren’t enough, ham operators began receiving odd messages from the Black Knight. One operator decoded a series of these messages as a star map. The map centered on Epsilon Boštes as seen from the earth 13,000 […] Read More

1992: A missing Pentacle

The so-called “Pentacle Memorandum” convinced UFO researcher Jacques Vallee that the US government had been toying with the official UFO investigations and that these were a front for something else… if not something more sinister. Philip Coppens Jacques Vallee & Allen Hynek In Forbidden Science (1992), Jacques Vallee, who was the inspiration for one of the main characters in Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, reports how in 1967 he found Allen Hynek’s UFO files to be in serious disarray. On Sunday, June 18, 1967, Vallee tried to restore some order in the files and “found a letter which is especially remarkable because of the new light it throws on the key period of the Robertson Panel and of Report #14”. This was the […] Read More

1947: ARMY GETS AROUND TO CHECKING `FLYING DISC’ AND IS MYSTIFIED

Article from the: St Louis Post-Dispatch July 3, 1947 _______________________________ ARMY GETS AROUND TO CHECKING `FLYING DISC‘ AND IS MYSTIFIED WASHINGTON, July 3 (UP)- Army research experts can’t explain the ” flying saucers” reported seen in several western states, but they are investigating, they said. The Army air forces has checked all of their research authorities and contractors, but none of them knew or could suggest anything concrete about the “saucers. At first, Army officers laughed off the reports. Now they are beginning to take them at least a little seriously. At any rate, the Air Research Center at Wright Field, O., is looking into the reports, and all service intelligence agencies are at work on them. Army experts suggested-as a bare possibility-that some civilian […] Read More

1994: A Die-Hard Issue: CIA’s Role in the Study of UFOs, 1947-90

Gerald K. Haines An extraordinary 95 percent of all Americans have at least heard or read something about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), and 57 percent believe they are real. (1) Former US Presidents Carter and Reagan claim to have seen a UFO. UFOlogists–a neologism for UFO buffs–and private UFO organizations are found throughout the United States. Many are convinced that the US Government, and particularly CIA, are engaged in a massive conspiracy and coverup of the issue. The idea that CIA has secretly concealed its research into UFOs has been a major theme of UFO buffs since the modern UFO phenomena emerged in the late 1940s. (2) In late 1993, after being pressured by UFOlogists for the release of additional CIA information on UFOs, […] Read More

Russian military spooked by UFO

Gubernia TV UFO news coverage A news report broadcast by Gubernia TV in Russia about a multiple-witness sighting of a large UFO—posted on YouTube on May 12—has elicited considerable attention in several ufological news forums, particularly in Italy, but little else in the Western mainstream media. The case occurred in the village of Lesopilniy in the Khabarovsk region in Russia’s Far East and it involved dozens of witnesses, including soldiers at a military base nearby who fired artillery shells at the UFO without harming it. The case seems highly interesting, although at this point we are still unable to verify much of the information beyond what was broadcast by Gubernia TV. According to the website OstaMyy.Com, which covers TV and Radio Channels in Russia, […] Read More

2010: The long-distance runner – Sarasota Herald-Tribune (blog)

You’ve probably never met Larry Bryant but chances are you know somebody just like him, a guy with so much time on his hands, he spends a lot of it making neighbors’ lives miserable. But instead of snapping photos of the derelict boat in your driveway or tape-measuring for easement code violations, Bryant courts UFOs whistleblowers and files Freedom of Information Act requests with the government. And if, as researcher/author Robert Hastings contends[1], F.E. Warren AFB is ordering its folks to shut up about alleged UFO event unfolding near its nuclear missiles on 10/23/2010, chances are Larry Bryant had something to do with it. After Hastings began fishing around for sources late last year, Bryant took out an online ad aimed at convincing Warren personnel to […] Read More

The Government and UFO’s: Protocol for Truth

Dan Smith How well has the government responded to the popular belief that it is concealing evidence of UFOs? Here is what seems to be the standard conservative view: Since there is no basis for the popular belief, to begin with, any attempted response on the part of the government is only likely to stir that pot and thus be counter-productive. The opposing view is that by inadequately responding, the government is contributing to the perception of a cover-up. In most situations, the conservative position naturally tends to dominate and that has been the case in this context. However, I happen to support the ‘liberal’ view that there is at least some justification for the perception of a cover-up and that something ought to […] Read More

1948: P51 VS UFO – Revealed after Pilot’s Death

We all know the scenario, a military man is somehow involved in an incident with a UFO and the story is covered up with bogus stories and threats. However, now and then one of these old encounters eventually makes it’s way to the public. This is one of those stories that North Dakota Guard pilot, George Gorman had in the skies over Fargo one crisp autumn night that was never forgotten. It was a clear evening on Oct. 1, 1948, like Gorman, along with fellow Guard members flew cross country to Hector. While the rest of the group landed, Gorman decided to take the opportunity to get in a little extra time with his P51 Mustang. It wasn’t long before he was in the […] Read More

2007: NASA to Search Files on UFO Incident

WASHINGTON (Oct. 27) NASA has agreed to search its archives once again for documents on a 1965 UFO incident in Pennsylvania, a step the space agency fought in federal court. The government has refused to open its files about what, if anything, moved across the sky and crashed in the woods near Kecksburg, Pa., 40 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Traffic was tied up in the area as curiosity seekers drove to the area, only to be kept away from the crash site by soldiers. The Air Force’s explanation for the unidentified flying object: a meteor or meteors. “They could not find anything,” one Air Force memo stated after a late-night search on Dec. 9, 1965. Several NASA employees also were reported to have been […] Read More

1945: 1,400-MILE SPEED IS ATTAINED BY SUPERSONIC FLYING DEVICES

THE NEW YORK TIMES. October 27, 1945. Page-1: 1,400-MILE SPEED IS ATTAINED BY SUPERSONIC FLYING DEVICES By Russell Porter Special to THE NEW YORK TIMES. BUFFALO, Oct. 26–Special flying devices in the supersonic field, built for the Government in cooperation with other organizations, have attained speeds of 1,400 miles an hour, almost twice the speed of sound, Dr. C. C. Furnas, director of the Curtiss-Wright Research Laboratory, revealed here today. Dr. Furnas said that he was speaking of true flying devices, not artillery shells or rockets and that they were being flown in tests “somewhere in the United States.” In some cases the devices have wings, and they do not depend on propellers or atomic energy for power, but this was about the only […] Read More

2007: A Most Dangerous Cargo on Crashed UFO’s…

–An Introductory Discussion of Scientific / Engineering aspects of ET Crash / Retrievals. It is this observer’s long concern and, that there is a sad utter lack, in our research community of a projective and anticipatory analysis, on what is, with high probability a truly stunning treasure trove that is held in UFO crash/retrieval engineering labs. Translated few have sat down and conducted a “break out”, system by system, a formal decomposition of what was a hidden harvest now diffused into the average automobile, commercial jet, PC, Server farm, or secret space ship. This has been accomplished with stealth and subterfuge, and very clever cover stories. It is not possible in a few words to support and justify this claim. Corso knew some small […] Read More

Official UFO Investigations in France: the GEPAN/SEPRA Project

Appendix 1: Official UFO Investigations in France: the GEPAN/SEPRA Project For more than 20 years, the French space agency has conducted a non-military but official investigation into UFO reports. In its first phase, the project was named GEPAN and its focus was primarily on UFO reports. Subsequently, the project was renamed SEPRA and was assigned a more general responsibility for studying all atmospheric reentry phenomena. In the body of the report, we have for convenience referred to the project as “GEPAN/SEPRA.” This appendix gives a brief summary of the history, mission, operations and achievements of this project. The French space agency is known as CNES (Centre National d’Études Spatiales). It was founded in 1962 to conduct French space activities on a national basis and […] Read More
