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

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.

A Nuts and Bolts UFO Guy and the Marley Woods

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

Ted Phillips

For some UFOlogists, as they go through many years of research and investigation, their opinions and beliefs shift and change. Such was the case for Ted Phillips, whose involvement spanned over five decades from 1964 until his death on March 10, 2020. For much of that time, he specialized in physical trace cases and considered UFOs to be nuts and bolts craft piloted by flesh and blood extraterrestrial creatures. His views changed, particularly due to his investigation of a paranormal hotspot in Missouri that he and fellow researchers called “The Marley Woods” in an effort to conceal its location. Towards the end of his life, he saw the UFO phenomenon as being more complex than he’d previously considered it to be. Read more

A 1665 UFO Report From Stralsund, Germany

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

NASA and the UFO Problem

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

According to the sighting report forms (pages 2 and 4 of pdf) filled out by Georgia Governor Jimmy Carter for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena and the International UFO Bureau on September 18, 1973, he and 10-12 other men observed a UFO he described as a light that was “at one time, as bright as the moon” for 10-12 minutes in Leary, Georgia. According to the form, they were outside waiting for a 7:30 p.m. Lions Club meeting to start. During Carter’s presidential campaign in 1976, a reporter from the National Enquirer asked him if he would release all the information the government had on UFOs if he was elected. He is quoted in the June 8, 1976 edition of the Enquirer as saying “If I become President, I’ll make every piece of information this country has about UFO sightings available to the public and the scientists. I’m convinced that UFOs exist because I have seen one.” When he was elected, the White House began receiving letters from UFO enthusiasts who wanted to know when he was going to make good on his promise. One of these is included in the article by Philip J. Klass, headlined “NASA, the White House, and UFOs” published in the Spring/Summer 1978 Skeptical Inquirer: Read more

BOOK: THE LITTLE BOOK OF ALIENS

 

  • We may be the last generation that doesn’t know if we’re alone in the Universe.
  • The science of astrobiology is exploding and for the first time we have the capacity to search the distant stars for life, intelligent or otherwise.
  • Given the stunning progress that science is making in the search for cosmic life, should they be taking UFOs seriously as another way to find it?
  • If we find alien life, what should we expect it to be like? Will it be like us? Will we be able to talk to it? Will it want to make contact or conquest?

BIO: Astrophysicist Adam Frank is a leading expert on the final stages of evolution for stars like the sun, and his computational research group at the University of Rochester has developed advanced supercomputer tools for studying how stars form and how they die. A self-described “evangelist of science,” he is also committed to showing others the beauty and power of science, and exploring the proper context of science in culture.

A 1973 UFO and Occupant Report From Bahía Blanca, Argentina

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

Argentina, especially in the area of Bahía Blanca, has had its share of high-strangeness UFO reports ranging from cars being lifted up in the air to abductions. This week, we’re looking the 1973 case involving Dionisio Llanca, a truck driver who reported he’d had an encounter with a UFO and three creatures. When questioned under the influence of hypnosis and Pentothal, he recounted being taken aboard a spacecraft, but could not recall the details when in his regular, conscious state. Whatever criticisms one might have of abduction tales told by people under hypnosis, the circumstances around the case, as reported in newspapers in the region, were unusual and mysterious.

A 1970 UFO and Occupant Report From British Columbia: Explained?

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

In October of this year, the Royal Canadian Mint announced that it was putting out a coin celebrating a 1970 UFO case from the city of Duncan on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This is the sixth in a series of the Mint’s Unexplained Phenomena series of 1 oz. $20 face value silver coins depicting famous Canadian UFO cases. The

Duncan incident, involving a sighting by a nurse working in the Cowichan District Hospital, occurred in the midst of a flap in the area. It was investigated by John Magor, editor and publisher of the Canadian UFO Report, and he provided a report to the Victoria Times. The Victoria Timepublished an article on the case on page 1 of the January 5, 1970 edition (page 10 of the pdf), and Magor published his version in the Volume 1, Number 7, summer issue of the Canadian UFO Report. News of the coin celebrating the incident prompted two men, who were both attending a party in the area at the time, to separately come forward, each with his own individual explanation of what was actually seen. We wrote about this incident in a blog headlined “A UFO and Occupants in British Columbia, Canada,” posted on the Podcast UFO website on July 16, 2022, which is where the description of the incident comes from.
