Searching for the TRUTH on UFOs
On a quiet and muggy July night in 1926, a woman awoke to loud noises outside of her house in the outskirts of rural Maitland, Canada. Looking outside she saw strange lights hovering a few hundred feet next to her farm. Terrified and confused, the woman couldn’t do anything but stare in complete disbelief of the otherworldly lights. What were they? Who were they? As one of the lights […] Read More
Over the years, I have heard more than a few stories suggesting that agencies of various governments – including the UK and the US – have extensive background files on alien-abductees. Such a thing is not as far out as the skeptics might think. After all, back in the 1950s, the FBI opened files on numerous and well-known figures in the UFO Contactee field. Under Freedom of Information legislation, […] Read More
There don’t appear to be any official records of a UFO ever shutting down a major airport in the U.S. In China on the other hand, it’s happened three times in five years. Are Chinese air traffic controllers more respectful of UFO airspace … or more fearful? The latest instance of a Chinese airport closing down because of a UFO sighting appears to have happened late last week or […] Read More
Operation Bulldog – held in September 1949, and overseen by the UK’s Fighter Command and Bomber Command – was a show of strength to the Soviets. It demonstrated that the West could take swift and decisive action in the event the Russians flexed their muscles a bit too much. And, for good measure, the operation also involved the air-forces of the United States, Belgium, France, and Holland. The Soviets […] Read More
Some months ago, I recall seeing an interesting piece of footage that apparently depicted an object in flight, as viewed through thermal imaging cameras aboard a DHS aircraft, as it passed over Puerto Rico. Apart from an ambiguous object seen streaking through the sky and the agency reportedly behind it, the video left a lot to the imagination. Many suggested it was a balloon, while others said it was more likely to […] Read More
As a follow-up to my previous article – “Liquidation of the UFO Researchers” – I figured it’s time to lay to rest a particularly controversial claim that has no basis in reality, at all. But, it’s a controversy which I find myself having to correct people on, at least several times a year. It’s the claim that the late “alien abduction” researcher, Dr. John E. Mack, was murdered. Give […] Read More
Alain Kerizo Artist’s sketch of an alien allegedly responsible for an alien abduction in New Hampshire (1961) Introduction The UFO phenomenon has been going on since antiquity, accounts of apparitions similar to the ones reported in the 20th century being found in the holy books of the various pagan religions. Interestingly, a significant lapse in the record of these events through history occurred during the ages of Faith, only […] Read More
by David Halperin One day not long after the year 800, Agobard, archbishop of Lyon, found himself in exactly the right place to stop a lynching. Lucky thing for three men and one woman, who were said to have fallen from ships that sailed through the sky. Vis-à-vis the aerial ships, Agobard was what we’d now call a “debunker.” If he were alive today, he’d probably be in CSICOP. […] Read More
by Maj. Donald E. Keyhoe, USMC (Ret.) Editor’s Note: Major Keyhoe has been writing about Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO’s) in this magazine and elsewhere for over 15 years. From the outset he has insisted that flying saucers are real and interplanetary, and many authorities have come to agree with him. Now he claims that control over gravity itself is the only explanation for the astounding maneuvers which saucers are […] Read More
“I had a camera crew filming the installation when they spotted a saucer. They filmed it as it flew overhead, then hovered, extended three legs as landing gear, and slowly came down to land on a dry lake bed. It was a classic saucer, shiny silver and smooth, about 30 feet across. It was pretty clear it was an alien craft.” The event Cooper describes happened in 1957. At […] Read More
In conspiracy theory we deal with a great many arcane and subversive topics from vast government conspiracies to hidden agendas, aliens to cryptids, and about everything in between. Many times these subjects are subversive by nature and are never able to reach a mass population due to the arcane and paranoid nature of the topics. This is a problem that will always be true, and for those of us […] Read More
A set of newly-released photos detail the U.S. Navy’s close encounter with an enormous UFO/USO. The case was submitted to The Black Vault by researcher/investigator Alex Mistretta, who in turn got them from one of his anonymous sources in Europe. An interesting story is attached to these photos. In March 1971, the USS Trepang, a Sturgeon Class attack submarine, was on a routine military and scientific mission at the […] Read More
In 1952, a large scale naval operation attracted the attention of several UFOs and unidentified submerged objects. Multiple credible military witnesses saw them and rumors say General Dwight Eisenhower was also present. Called Operation Mainbrace (September 14-25, 1952), this naval exercise organized by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) involved armed forces from the United States, the UK, Canada, France, Denmark, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Approximately 80,000 men aboard […] Read More
