About Grant Lavac
Grant is an Australian UAP activist, researcher and podcaster residing in Melbourne, Australia. Grant has held a fascination for UAPs/UFOs since he was a young child and considers himself to be just an ordinary guy who believes in extraordinary things, with a healthy degree of scepticism and open mind thrown in there together for good measure. Grant frequently leverages the Freedom of Information Act to better understand Australia’s involvement (or rather, lack thereof) on the UAP issue, and engages both his elected representatives and the legacy media in the hope they’ll take the topic seriously and treat it with the respect it deserves. Grant reports on his FOIA findings and engagement efforts via his podcast, The Unexplained Rundown, which is freely available on Spotify and YouTube.

A General and a UFO Hotspot in Brazil

admin

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

Brazilian UFOlogy goes back a long time. One of the first UFOlogists there to come to international attention was Dr. Olavo Fontes, who wrote regular reports in the late 1950s and into the 60s for the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization that were published in the APRO Bulletin. Fontes wrote the first report on the 1957 Antonio Villas Boas abduction case. He sent it to APRO, and it remained unpublished by that organization until 1966. Two years later, in 1968, a retired General from the Brazilian Army, Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa, got involved in his first case, and it brought him to international attention as well. Read more →

JELLYFISH UFO

Cody’s background

Cody has always been fascinated by the mysteries of the universe and UFO stories. This led him to his role at The UFO Database, where Cody manages social media and community outreach. Each day, he connects with others who share his passion. While Cody enjoys sharing insights and stories, he’s more engaged in dialogues with thousands who have a collective curiosity about UFO phenomena. He’s focused on expanding The UFO Database’s reach and impact. Through social media and community interaction, Cody aims to build a platform that’s welcoming and informative for both seasoned researchers and newcomers. His goal is to demystify UFOs and promote open, evidence-based discussions about their possible implications.
Neil’s background
Neil grew up near Aztec/Farmington, NM and Ely/Elko, NV – both known UFO hotspots and inspiration for his interest in UFOs. Neil has an undergrad from DePaul University in mathematics and an MBA from CU Boulder. He co-founded a web application development company in 1997 and continues to operate that today with help from 12 other team members. Neil has many side projects going at any given time, including theufodatabase.com.
Cody Jorgensen
Director of Social Media and Community Outreach
As the head of social media and community outreach for The UFO Database, Cody creates engaging content and manages vibrant online discussions about UFOs. His role is to build a welcoming community for enthusiasts and to facilitate the sharing of experiences and knowledge in this intriguing field. Cody’s approach is about encouraging a community where the extraordinary is not dismissed but rather explored with enthusiasm and without prejudice.
Neil Bodo
Chief Technical Officer
Neil Bodo is a co-founder of theufodatabase.com and leads the technical development of the website. Neil has a long-held interest in the UFO subject and its connection to science, social issues, philosophy, consciousness, and exploration of the universe. He believes that we should approach the phenomenon with an open mind and avoid the temptation to say, “that’s impossible”. We may be dealing with something unprecedented, so Neil advocates for keeping all options on the table.

Did UFOs Cause the 1965 Blackout?

admin

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

On November 9, 1965, a huge portion of the Eastern United States experienced a power outage that began at 5:17 p.m. and lasted until 7:00 a.m. the next day in most areas. According to an article on the New England Historical Society website, it happened because maintenance workers “set a protective relay too low on a power line to Ontario, which then tripped the relay. It then sent power to other lines, overloading them.”  At the time, the entire U.S. was in the midst of a UFO flap, and there was speculation that UFOs had something to do with the outage. As far-fetched as that might seem, this was considered seriously by Saturday Review columnist John Fuller in his 1966 book, Incident at Exeter and was discussed in Congress in 1968 during a UFO symposium. A high-strangeness aspect to all this is that Oscar-nominated actor Stuart Whitman, claimed he was given an explanation by the occupants of two UFOs he saw in New York City the night of the blackout.

Disney Does UFOs

admin

by Charles Lear, author of “The Flying Saucer Investigators.”

UFO documentaries and television specials play a big part in introducing people to the subject. Sometimes they’re well researched and made with care by creators with a passionate interest in the subject, and sometimes they’re made mostly for the sake of making money. In the case of a television special made by the Walt Disney Company titled Alien Encounters from New Tomorrowland that was aired in 5 U.S. cities in February and March of 1995, it was created as a means to promote a new ride at Walt Disney World Resort. While fairly typical of the UFO-related television presentations of its day, the matter-of-fact statements by narrator Robert Urich to the effect that aliens are visiting Earth in spaceships and abducting its human inhabitants, and that there are government documents that prove this, caused some to speculate that the documentary was made in partnership with U.S. government officials as part of a disclosure process.

A UFO and Humanoid in Space (Ho-Ho-Ho)

admin

by Charles Lear (repost)

Astronauts have reported UFOs since the beginning of human space exploration. Some sightings can be explained as ice particles, satellites or debris, but others remain a mystery. In 1965, a report involving not only a UFO, but an occupant as well, was received by mission control and was recorded in official records. This was on top of another earlier report just a few days earlier.

On December 15, 1965, less than four years before Neil Armstrong walked on the Moon, NASA was carrying out a difficult mission. Gemini 6 was in orbit and heading towards Gemini 7, which had been launched several days before on December 4. Gemini 6 was maneuvered to within a few feet of Gemini 7 to see if NASA had the capability to link two vehicles in space. This was an extremely difficult maneuver at that time and it proved to be successful. Gemini 6 was then moved off and the crews of both craft settled in for a well-earned nap. Aboard Gemini 6 were Walter M. Schirra, Jr. and Thomas P. Stafford. The men onboard Gemini 7 were Frank Borman and James Lovell.

Prior to this moment, on December 4, during their second orbit, Lovell and Borman had a UFO sighting and Borman contacted Capcom:

Borman: Ah Gemini 7 here. Houston, how ya read?

Capcom: Loud and clear seven. Go ahead.

Borman: I got a Bogey at ten o’clock high.

Capcom: This is Houston. Say again seven.

Borman: I said we have a Bogey at ten o’clock high.

Capcom: Gemini 7, is that the booster or is that an actual sighting?

Borman: We have several … looks like debris up here.  Actual sighting.

Capcom: Estimated distance or size?

Borman: We also have the booster in sight.
