Silver-Suited Humanoid Reports

Blog by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

Amidst the many assorted descriptions of UFO-related entities, silver-suited humanoids, sometimes with antennas, show up in many reports. They are described repeatedly in the 1976 Center for UFO Studies publication by David Webb, 1973 – Year of the Humanoids, and there were several reports during the 1977 flap in what has been called “The Welsh Triangle” that we wrote about recently. In this week’s blog, we’ll look at a couple of cases from the Southern United States, the second of which became quite well-known.

In the January 4, 1981, issue of The Robesonian out of Lumberton, North Carolina, there is an article (page 7 of the pdf) by Tim Lewis headlined “Shining Silver Man Stalks Forest Acres Area.”  According to Lewis, the previous Tuesday at around 10 p.m., a couple had just exited Barker Ten Mile Road when they saw a round flashing light near the turnoff at Bee Gee and McLeod. As they got closer, they were able to determine that the light was located in a vacant wooded lot. Read more

Timothy Green Beckley’s UFO Review

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

Timothy Green Beckley

Among UFO enthusiasts, in between the serious, science-based researchers and the crackpots, there are people who enjoy the mystery for the fantastic tales and the colorful people it spawns, as well as the social interaction with the like-minded. One of the first examples of this sort of person was Gray Barker, who became known for his 1956 book They Knew Too Much About Flying Saucers. He became good friends with James W. Moseley, who would become well-known as the publisher of Saucer Smear magazine, and the two of them became notorious for pranking and poking fun at what they considered their over-serious peers. As the 1960s got under way, a group formed around Moseley, who was based in Fort Lee, New Jersey. This included Allan Greenfield, Eugene Steinberg, and Timothy Green Beckley. Of these, Beckley, Like Barker, would become a prolific publisher of UFO-related material, and in 1978, he started putting out UFO Review, which was a tabloid-style newspaper chock full of UFO news, reports, interviews, and lurid ads for UFO books, UFO merchandise, new age self-help guides and related paraphernalia.

Martin Willis welcomes Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times, and formerly the Daily Mail, for a wide-ranging conversation on UFO/UAP journalism, disclosure, secrecy, and why this subject is finally being taken seriously by more mainstream reporters. Because of the UK–U.S. time difference, this interview was pre-recorded, but the discussion is timely and deeply relevant to where the topic stands today. Christopher talks about how his interest in the phenomenon evolved, from childhood curiosity to serious investigative reporting, and explains why the post-2017 landscape changed everything for journalists and the public alike. He and Martin also explore the psychology behind why some people remain completely uninterested in the subject, while others become intensely engaged once they begin looking at the evidence. The conversation also dives into some of the biggest current issues in the field: alleged drone incursions, secrecy surrounding retrieval programs, possible reverse-engineering efforts, the role of the U.S. military and intelligence community, and why so much of the disclosure story appears centered in the United States. Christopher shares his perspective on recent reporting involving Patuxent River, James Clapper, Neal McCasland, and the broader push toward government transparency. This is an in-depth and thought-provoking interview about where the UFO/UAP topic may be heading next, what real disclosure could look like, and why bipartisan interest in Washington may matter more than ever. Visit Liberation Times for Christopher Sharp’s reporting, and be sure to subscribe to Podcast UFO for more interviews and discussions on the mystery.

SHOW 736 NOTES: Mike Fiorito

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, March 03, 2025 @ 8:00 PM EST (-5GMT)

🔮 Martin Willis joined by UFO Jack talks with author Mike Fiorito about his groundbreaking new book The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music, a journey into the intersection of music, consciousness, mystery, and the unknown.

📘 About the Book:
In this reflective and imaginative work, Mike Fiorito explores how music acts as a portal to deeper understanding — not just as art, but as a medium that shapes perception, consciousness, and our sense of reality. The book weaves together ideas from sonic experimentation, mysticism, cultural history, and the UFO phenomenon, suggesting that sound may play a role in opening the mind to mystery.

🎶 Key Themes Covered in This Interview:
• How music functions as a “tuning mechanism” for the mind and consciousness.
• The role of experimental and electronic music in communicating beyond language.
• Insights into iconic thinkers like Sun Ra and how his concept of “tone science” connects to cosmic exploration.
• The connection between sound, imaginal experiences, and anomalous phenomena.
• Why music might open doors to inner worlds just as compelling as outer space itself.

📅 Publication Info:
The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music is available for pre-order now and will publish on April 11, 2026.

🛸 Whether you’re into music theory, consciousness studies, the UFO phenomenon, or creative cosmology, this conversation pushes the boundaries of how we think about sound — and the mysteries it can reveal.

BIO: Mike Fiorito is a freelance journalist and author. His books include UFO Symphonic-Journeys into Sound, For All We Know, Mescalito Riding His White Horse, Falling from Trees and Hallucinating Huxley. UFO Symphonic-Journeys
into Sound was named a Finalist in the Miscellaneous category for the 2025 National Indie Excellence Awards. Mescalito Riding His White Horse received the 2024 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite Award in Spirituality. Falling from Trees received the 2022 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite Award in Short Stories.

A Welsh Triangle Window Area?

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

In 1977, there was a flap in the area of St. Brides Bay in Pembrokeshire, Wales, that involved reported sightings of craft and humanoids. The most well-known incident involved 14 Broad Haven Primary School students running inside to tell their headmaster that they had seen a yellow cigar-shaped craft land in a field. On February 17, three staff members reported they saw the same craft. The story made national news thanks to British UFO Research Association investigator and UFO Investigators Network correspondent Randall Jones Pugh, and a flap began that would result in the area being referred to as “The Welsh Triangle.” A lesser-known case involved an entire family that reported a series of strange events which Pugh covered in articles published in issues of Flying Saucer Review and the BUFORA Journal.

In April, while driving, Pauline Coombes and three (out of four) of her children were reportedly chased by a football shaped UFO. Later that year, in October, Coombes, her four children, and her mother reportedly witnessed a craft and humanoids that behaved in an especially bizarre manner. It came out that all sorts of strange happenings were said to have been occurring on the family homestead called Ripperston Farm. Journalist Clive Harold got close to the family and wrote a book about their experiences titled, “The Uninvited.” Read more

Show 735 Notes: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman

Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, creators of NBC’s Dark Skies, join Podcast UFO to discuss the strange real-life event that sparked their new investigative podcast, Sound, Light & Frequency. They share how their personal interest in UFOs began (including Bryce’s childhood discovery of the McMinnville “Trent Farm” photos, and Brent’s startling “aliens are real” disclosure from a Reagan-era family friend), plus Brent’s more recent UFO-style sighting during the Perseid meteor shower on Vancouver Island, tiny star-like lights moving erratically and seeming to drop into the ocean. The conversation turns to why witnesses stay silent, including stories Bryce heard from strangers after Dark Skies aired, schoolyard sightings with dozens of witnesses that never made the news, followed by families insisting: “don’t ever talk about it.” From there, Bryce and Brent explain the premise of Sound, Light & Frequency: an active investigation into whether Hollywood has been part of a long “chicken-and-egg” feedback loop with UFO culture, did filmmakers invent ideas that later entered ufology, or were real narratives quietly fed into film and TV? They preview their central claim: a mysterious “Man in Black”-type figure crashed their Dark Skies premiere party in the 1990s, claimed ties to the Office of Naval Intelligence, and allegedly offered a “deal” connected to a slow-drip disclosure program, truth inserted into fiction. They won’t fully reveal the details here (they insist listeners start with Episode 1), but they confirm follow-up meetings occurred and that the encounter never stopped haunting them. They also reveal how Dark Skies was sold with an elaborate “top secret” style series bible mapping a multi-season timeline, then the eerie twist: the exact “cover of fiction to tell truth” concept they pitched to networks later appeared to boomerang back on them in real life. The episode closes with their plan to examine iconic UFO films and series (Close Encounters, Contact, The Abyss, The X-Files, V, and more), vet tips from insiders, and look for patterns, without claiming they already have the answers.

Sound, Light & Frequency Podcast, Ep 1. “Party Crasher” 

Blog: Mr. X.

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

In 1980, The Roswell Incident by Charles Berlitz and William Moore was published. In the book, on page 103 of the first printing, there is a bad photocopy of a photo showing two soldiers escorting a small creature. One of the soldiers is carrying a suitcase-shaped object that seems to be a respiration device, as there is a hose going from it to the creature’s mouth. The photo is said to have “reportedly first surfaced in Wiesbaden, Germany.” In 1981, Wiesbaden resident Klaus Webner took it upon himself to investigate. He wrote an article presenting his findings that was published in the September 1981 issue of The Probe Report, put out by the Britain-based Probe UFO Research Organization.

In the book, the photocopy is presented with the caption “Alien from Another World or Elaborate Hoax?” The reader is told that it, along with the “artist’s interpretation” on the preceding page, is being published “without comment about whether it may or may not pertain to certain significant aspects of the Roswell Incident.” According to the authors, “an unnamed informant” gave the original photo, which he said he bought for a dollar, to FBI agent John Quinn at the New Orleans field office. They say the photo “purports to show an alien survivor of a UFO crash in the custody of two U.S. military policeman.” Lastly, they say that it got “limited publicity in West Germany in the 1940s” and was met “with skepticism by U.S. officials of the then-existent Allied Military Government.” Read more

This happened during our show!

Did Barack Obama slip — and then walk it back? In a recent interview with political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen, Obama was asked point-blank: Are aliens real? His response: “They’re real… but I haven’t seen them.” He followed with laughter, referencing conspiracy theories about extraterrestrials being hidden at Area 51, suggesting such a secret would be impossible to conceal — even from a president. Later, he clarified that he framed part of his answer humorously. But was that clarification damage control? Tonight, Martin and UFO Jack go deeper. We revisit Obama’s earlier appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, where he was pressed on the same topic — and we review the exceptional breakdown by investigator Ben Hansen, who analyzed Obama’s phrasing, timing, increased respiration, and body language frame by frame. Are we witnessing: Political humor? Strategic ambiguity? Or a carefully managed narrative? Two interviews. Two different contexts. One unanswered question. We’ll compare tone, wording, micro-expressions, and consistency — and let you decide whether this was just a joke… or something more. 

Rat-Faced Creatures From a UFO

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear 

As anyone who has looked into the subject of UFO-related humanoids knows, reported creatures come in all shapes and sizes. Some are more unusual than others, and a pair of creatures said to be seen in Italy in 1978 definitely stand out.

In the Vol. 28, No. 6, issue (page 15 of the pdf) of Flying Saucer Review, there is an article by Antonio Chiumiento headlined “An Encounter with ‘Rat-Faces’ in Italy.” The article was translated from Italian and Chiumiento is described as an “Investigator and member of the board of directors of C.U.N. (Italian National UFO Research Centre, Turin.)”

According to Chiumiento, on the morning of November 24, 1978, 61-year-old Gallio resident, Angelo D’Ambros, went to get some firewood in nearby Gastagh. At about a quarter before noon, he turned to put down a branch he had been chopping up when he “was gripped with horror” upon seeing two creatures looking at him that were “extremely close.” Read more

Show 732 Notes: Col [ret.] Fred Claussen

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Thursday, February 10, 2025 @ 11:00 AM EST (-5GMT)

BIO: Colonel Fredrick “Fred” Claussen was born in 1942 in Burwell, Nebraska, the only son of a baker and a telephone operator. His interest in space and UFOs began at a young age, and by eleven he had built a two-person “spaceship,” even attempting a launch—an early sign of a lifelong fascination with flight and aerospace. As a teenager, he set his sights on becoming a fighter pilot. After moving to Lincoln, Nebraska, Claussen graduated from Lincoln Northeast High School and attended the University of Nebraska, where he participated in Air Force ROTC and the marching band. He joined the U.S. Air Force in 1963 and began his flying career as a B-52 navigator from 1965 to 1968. He later attended pilot training, graduating first in his class, before transitioning to the F-105. Between 1969 and 1970, Claussen flew 126 combat missions in Southeast Asia and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross twice. From 1970 to 1983, he served in multiple fighter assignments, flying the F-105, F-4, and F-15. He went on to hold senior leadership roles, including Director of Exercises in South Korea, Director of Exercises at Headquarters Tactical Air Command, Tactical Air Control Wing Commander, Chief of Staff of the 7th Air Force in South Korea, and Director of Combat Analysis at U.S. Central Command in Tampa, Florida. He retired in 1992 with the rank of colonel. In 1980, while flying an F-15, Colonel Claussen intercepted a UFO—an encounter that remains central to his public testimony and perspective on UAP. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Business and Management from Kansas Newman College and a master’s degree in Aviation Technology from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University. In retirement, Claussen pursues astronomy, remains active with family, and has assisted filmmaker James Fox with UAP research. He is married to his wife, Sunny, and has four children and three grandchildren
