After-effects for one of the witnesses from the 2004 USS Nimitz UFO incident

"Kevin Day, Navy UFO Contact After-Effects |403|." Published on the 19th February 2019, on the skeptico YouTube channel.

Kevin Day, was the TOPGUN Navy, Air Controller when he was thrust into one of the biggest UFO events in history.

"One of the biggest UFO events in history" is of course referring to the "USS Nimitz UFO encounter" --also known and talked about as the "Tic Tac incident" -- in 2004, that Leslie Kean and others wrote about in the now famous articles in the New York Times on December 2017.

Together with US Navy pilot commander David Fravor, Navy air controller Kevin M Day has been the most open and outspoken witness from the Nimitz UFO incident, or incidents/encounters, because there were several UFO sightings and encounters during a period of several days.

In this interview (starts around the 5:20 minute mark) on skeptico, Kevin M Day is not talking so much about what happened or what he experienced on the USS Nimitz in 2004, but how his experiences of the UFOs affected him psychologically and emotionally, and how the Nimitz UFO incident has changed him as a person.

Interestingly, Kevin M Day mentions around the 10:35 minute mark a paper by Jacques Vallée and Eric W. Davis, that you can find on this blog here. You'll find the paper in the last third of the list of links with the name "Incommensurability, Orthodoxy and the Physics of High Strangeness." There are many reasons to why I find it interesting that Kevin M Day mentions the paper by Vallée and Davis, but the more interesting reason is the "consciousness aspect" of the UFO-phenomena. And Mr Day seems convinced that the object he saw in 2004 was conscious and somehow affected his consciousness.

Around the 40:20 minute mark of the interview, Kevin M Day says that he's "determined to play a role in helping people understand what's about to happen, in every way that I can." Yes, what's about to happen. He also says that he hopes to be called for the Congress to give his testimony about what he saw and experienced on the USS Nimitz in 2004, and that he gets the opportunity to talk about the Nimitz UFO incident for the president of the United States.

As always, listen with both an open and a skeptical mind, form your own opinions and draw your own conclusions.

Take care!

A group inside the Pentagon thinks the UFO phenomena is satanic

"Luis Elizondo's Struggle to Get UFO Disclosure." Posted by Post Disclosure World on November 9, 2018. Duration: 16:39 minutes.

Interview with Luis Elizondo: https://youtu.be/zhvClGiBB2c Phenomenon Radio interview with George Knapp: https://youtu.be/y8NVRUo5-8o Another Phenomenon Radio interview with George Knapp: https://youtu.be/tCNVGEDoY-I Dark Matters Radio Interview with George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell: http://kgraradioarchives.com/shows/da... (10-19-2018)

In the video above, "UfoJesus", or Ryan, is summarising some of the latest and most important information about the battle inside the Pentagon and the Department of Defense (DoD) over UFO-research in general and the "Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program" (AATIP) in particular. 

Most of that information comes from investigative journalist George Knapp, who knows many of the key players involved in the ongoing careful and selective disclosure process (or "Psyop", according to some).

In fact, there are many, at least four, disclosure initiatives going on at the moment, but the best known is probably the one by "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science."

There are indeed at least two factions inside the Pentagon and DoD with different world views, beliefs and values, which has created tension and opposition over what the UFO phenomena represents and if it should be studied or not. 

According to George Knapp, he has been told by Luis Elizondo and other key players that one faction inside the Pentagon and DoD does not want to study the UFO phenomena because the phenomena is demonic in its nature.

Elizondo's UFO presentation in Italy on October 2018

Live-streamed on cun network's YouTube channel, 27 October 2018. Luis Elizondo and Tom DeLonge's presentation starts at 1:08:30. Total duration: 3:56:04.

You can read the transcript of Elizondo and DeLonge's presentation on Joe Murgia's website:  http://www.ufojoe.net/?p=371.

If you're as impatient as I am, then you perhaps prefer to read the transcript rather than watch and listen to the presentation since there is a translation going on for the people in the Italian audience not speaking English. Nothing wrong with that, at the same time it means that Elizondo and DeLonge have to speak slowly and take breaks for the translator, so if patience is not one of your virtues...

The presentation took place on the 27th of October 2018, at the Italian UFO Conference (Centro Ufologico Nazionale - CUN). Elizondo and DeLonge start at the 1:08:30 mark. 

Some interesting statements in the presentation

At around 1:25:20, Elizondo starts his presentation with an overview of the U.S. military interest in the UFO phenomena through history. When he comes to the 1980s, he mentions one of the most famous UFO incidents in the history of UFOs; the Rendlesham, or Bentwaters, UFO incident. Elizondo says the following during his talk about the early 1980s and the Rendlesham UFO incident:

What is significant with the year of 1952 in UFO history?

"UFO Invasion of 1952. Richard Dolan, UFOs, the Big Picture." Streamed live on 29th of September, 2018, on Richard Dolan's YouTube channel. Duration: 29:30 minutes.

Richard Dolan on the 1952 UFO Invasion - This presentation involves one of the most forgotten but major years in the history of UFOs, at least as far as we've been keeping track of it, and that year is 1952. It is the great forgotten year in the United States. The number of good UFO sightings reached their highest total ever, at least in the pre-internet era.

Why so many UFO sightings in the USA in 1952? Was it just in the USA? What were the consequences in the form of U.S. Air Force and Navy policy regarding reporting UFO sightings and encounters? In other words, why is the year 1952 so significant in the history of UFOs, and how does it help us understand the complex issue of disclosure of the UFO phenomena?

You may not get the answers to all the questions above in Richard Dolan's overview of the major year of 1952. So, I recommend the reader do some inquiries on their own. Doing your own research into the year of 1952 is well worth your time and effort if you want - or need - some evidence of the military and intelligence agencies' serious interest in and concern over mysterious and advanced flying objects.

Your own research will also give you a deeper and broader understanding of the complex issue of disclosure and that the national "security apparatus" never has been a monolithic entity. 

The complexity of disclosure is perhaps not so much about the UFO phenomena itself, but more about human vanity, ignorance, greed, pride, and power dynamics between individuals in different branches and factions in the military and intelligence agencies. There have always been individuals and groups of individuals within the national security apparatus that have been for or against a disclosure of the UFO issue.

As I have said before, I believe - I do not know it to be a fact - something in the dynamics in the power structure of the national security apparatus has changed, and this change has likely been going on for some time before the confirmation of the reality of the UFO phenomena by the Pentagon and the Department of Defence in December, 2017 (the New York Times AATIP-articles). 

We've also learned about a different Pentagon program, AAWSAP, that has researched paranormal and UFO events at Skinwalker Ranch.

The study of UFO history - the human side of it - is crucial to understanding what is going on with the UFO issue today.

"The age of impossible" with Jacques Vallée

"The age of impossible, anticipating discontinuous futures: Jacques Vallee at TEDxGeneva." Published on and by TEDx Talks YouTube channel, October 10, 2013. Duration: 15:14 minutes.

The acceleration of technology in an increasingly connected society producing "impossible futures" that range from rapid collapse of major banks to the emergence of complex new forms of political power. The Internet has become both a tool and a victim of this global mutation.

If you wait until the 8:29 minutes mark, then you will understand why this mainstream talk by Jacques Vallée is on a blog about the UFO phenomena.

However, the chief topic of Jacques Vallée's TEDxGeneva talk is not the UFO issue, but about the possible futures of the internet, both negative and positive futures.

As I have mentioned before, Dr Vallée is likely the most profound thinker in UFO-research, and has been since his collaboration and friendship with J. Allen Hynek.

UFO-aficionados are familiar with the fact that Steven Spielberg used Vallée and Hynek as consultants for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", and that the character in the movie, Claude Lacombe, is loosely based on Jacques Vallée.

Anyone seriously interested in the UFO phenomena, and who particularly wants to learn about the complexity of the UFO issue, should read at least one or two books about the UFO phenomena by Vallée. I have read three of Vallée's books and therefore can recommend them:

The Invisible College. What a Group of Scientists Has Discovered  About UFO Influence on the Human Race. Originally published by E.F. Dutton & Co. in 1975. 2014 edition published by Anomalist Books.

The Edge Of Reality. A progress report on Unidentified Flying Objects, J. Allen Hynek and Jacques Vallee (1975).

Revelations: Alien Contact and Human Deception, first edition 1991 and second edition 2008, published by Anomalist Books. "Revelations" is the third and last volume in Vallée's "Alien Contact" series.

Enjoy and take care!
