The UFO phenomenon is real, but no one can prove who or what is causing it. This blog explores the research done over many decades, showing that the UFO phenomenon is of profound existential and scientific significance.
"I-Team: Former Sen. Reid wants UFO studies made public." Posted on 8 News NOW Las Vegas YouTube channel on the 27th of February 2019. Duration: 5:10 min. Harry Reid, a former Senator, believes Russia and China have had and still have their own UFO programs.
That piece of information is of course nothing new or controversial for UFO enthusiasts. In fact, in the interview by George Knapp, former Senator Reid is not saying anything new or controversial.
So, why post the interview? Personally, I think the most interesting thing in the interview is that Mr Harry Reid is saying that "there are pieces of evidence" with a mischievous smile. Of course, Mr Reid does not want to say what nature those "pieces of evidence" are or look like, and he claims that he just heard of it as a rumour.
But the interesting part for me is that Mr Reid's claim about "pieces of evidence" (followed by his mischievous smile) may tie into Dr Eric W. Davis´ claims about the U.S. government having crash retrieval programs until 1989. With no success, according to Dr Davis. You can listen to Dr Davis talk about the topic in my previous post here.
So, are we getting the correct information about the UFO phenomena? Or is there a faction inside and outside the U.S. government that has hijacked - what I call - the educational, or preparation, phase of the disclosure process?
"Dr. Roger Leir & George Knapp discuss the Turkey UFO Case - Coast to Coast March 31, 2013." Published on Turkey UFO Incident's YouTube channel 13/4 2013.
For a thorough background to the "Turkey UFO case", or the "Kumburgaz UFO case 2007-2009", go to the following link: http://turkeyufocase.blogspot.com/
The Turkey UFO case - that includes several sightings by several and different people between the years 2007 and 2009 - is well documented and well researched. As you can read and watch at turkeyufocase.blogspot.com, many academics and technically skilled people have analysed the case, especially the extraordinary video of the beings sitting in one of the UFOs.
Even the Turkish government has openly been involved with analysing the case and the videos.
And if I have not missed any recent developments, the video of the UFO with beings in it is still not determined to be real or fake. I have some problems with and questions about the events leading up to the most famous video of the beings in a UFO, but I may write about them in a post in the future.
Dr Roger Leir passed away in 2014. He was well known among UFO enthusiasts for his work on alleged alien implants. Dr Leir became a witness to one of the UFO sightings in Turkey, and he saw when the most famous and debated video with the beings was filmed. That is what Dr Leir is mostly discussing in the interview above with George Knapp.
Be open-minded and skeptical of the Turkey UFO case. Only form an opinion or draw a conclusion after you have taken a serious look at the case.

"Kumburgaz / Turkey UFO: A chat with Jimmy from the UAP Files." Uploaded on PeterOsborne's YouTube channel, April 22, 2026. Duration: 13:51 minutes.
I like the image analysis by Peter Osborne, so I listen to his assessment of the Kumburgaz UFO case. I have not seen Osborne's assessment in its entirety on the UAP Files, but as I understand his position from the video clip above, he is sceptical of the authenticity of the footage. Which makes the Turkey UFO case even more interesting!
"Edition 1: Dr. Jack Sarfatti on the Physics of the 'Tic Tac' UFO." Posted on The Stardrive Report YouTube channel, on the 29/12 2018.
This video is about new physics discoveries on how UFOs like the "Tic Tac' are able to fly using very small amounts of energy. We discuss the political and military ramifications of this disruptive technological surprise in the light of Trump's replacement of General Mattis by Patrick Shanahan, the former student of his uncle, MIT Professor John Trump. Shanahan is allegedly the man who released the information we discuss and he has also championed the creation of the US Space Force.
If you are not familiar with Dr Jack Sarfatti, his work in theoretical physics and consciousness, you can read his CV and some of his research papers on the following link: https://jacksarfatti.academia.edu/
Since approximately a month back, the 38 Defense Intelligence Reference Documents (DIRDs) have been made public, or at least most of them. I think the paper by Kit Greene on the biological effects on human tissue is still classified. You can read more about the DIRDs, their purpose, and titles on this excellent blog: https://ufos-scientificresearch.blogspot.com/2018/06/those-defense-intelligence-reference.html
I believe the DIRDs not to be merely "thought experiments" about future technology and possibilities, but a description of what we actually know and understand about the physics and technology behind UFOs, or AAVs (Advanced Aerospace Vehicles). Or at least, knowledge and understanding we are close to having. "We" are people like Eric W. Davis, Hal Puthoff, and the other authors of the DIRDs.
Dr Jack Sarfatti also seems to be one in the know, or very close to understanding "the magic" behind objects like the "Tic Tac." At least, according to himself. Since I am not a scientist, I do not have the competence to assess the validity of Dr Sarfatti's theoretical model of the flight characteristics of the Tic Tac.
But as a layperson, I think it is interesting to listen to what Dr Sarfatti is saying in the interview above, and compare it with what, for example, Hal Puthoff is writing about "engineering the space-time metric."
