Hovering Assailants Reported in Peru in 2023 and Before

admin

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

2023 was quite a year for aliens in the news which included reports of creatures in a backyard in Las Vegas, alleged alien mummies being presented to the Mexican Congress, and an alien invasion of a shopping mall in Florida. In between, there were reports from a remote village in Peru of harrowing encounters with aliens that moved on hover boards. The story was first reported in Spanish by Radio Programas del Perú and quickly gained international coverage. The Daily Mail covered it with the same amount of detail as RPP for English speaking readers and published a follow-up article long after the story had seemingly been laid to rest by a somewhat implausible explanation by a spokesperson for the Peruvian National Prosecutor’s Office. A private paranormal investigator, Timothy Alberino, took it upon himself to look into the reports and found that they were widespread throughout the region. While the descriptions of the creatures and the encounters were quite strange and raised a lot of eyebrows, there is a history of these sorts of reports linked to outsiders seeking to exploit natural resources in areas occupied by indigenous people, often with little concern for their rights.

U.S. Representative Tim Burchett is an East Tennessee native who grew up in Knoxville. He lives in the Gibbs Community of Knox County with his wife, Kelly, and their daughter, Isabel.

Rep. Burchett took office in January 2019, after serving eight years as mayor of Knox County.

Prior to his tenure as Knox County Mayor, he started a successful small business before serving 16 years in the state legislature, four years in the State House followed by 12 years in the State Senate. Rep. Burchett currently serves on the House Committees on Oversight and Accountability; Foreign Affairs; and Transportation and Infrastructure.

During the 117th Congress, Rep. Burchett sponsored 23 bills and cosponsored 201 pieces of legislation in the House of Representatives, three of which were signed into law by President Biden:

Puppies Assisting Wounded Servicemembers (PAWS) for Veterans Therapy Act — Requires the VA implement a five-year pilot program to provide canine training to eligible veterans diagnosed with PTSD.
Patient Advocate Tracker Act — Established an information technology system that allows veterans to electronically file a complaint and review the status of a filed complaint.
Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act — Establishes grant programs to address neurodegenerative diseases.
For the 118th Congress, Rep. Burchett was selected to serve on the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability where he plans to ensure the efficiency, effectiveness, and accountability of the federal government and all its agencies. He has advocated for robust government transparency and accountability since he began serving in Congress and is looking forward to bringing Washington’s shady dealings to light.

A 1968 UFO Landing and Trace Case From Gleeson, Arizona

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

Jim And Coral Lorenzen

In 1968, the Condon Committee was wrapping up the UFO study at the University of Colorado that was commissioned by the Air Force. Coming too late for inclusion in that study was an incident in Gleeson, Arizona, that involved reported landings and possible traces left behind. It was investigated by Jim and Coral Lorenzen of the Tucson, Arizona, based Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, and the witnesses filled out report forms for the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena. There is no report in the APRO Bulletin on the case, or in NICAP’S publication, The UFO Investigator, but there is an article by Cecil James headlined “Gleeson UFO Leaves Traces” in the October 19, 1968, Tucson Daily Citizen.

PART 2: A Brazilian UFO Hotspot and a General

admin

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

Bob Pratt

In last week’s blog, we profiled General Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa, who became a UFO investigator after retiring from his over 30-year career in the Brazilian Army. While he spent most of his career at the Military Academy of Brazil where he was a professor of engineering mechanics, head of the math department, and deputy director, he’d had an interest in the paranormal and the esoteric since the age of 18. After his retirement in 1963, he moved to Brasilia in 1968, and his son, Paulo, told him about a plantation owned by Wilson da Silva 120 km to the southwest where regular UFO activity was reported. Uchoa put together a group of 7 people, including his son, and they began visiting the plantation repeatedly starting in March. Bob Pratt was able to interview Uchoa and wrote an article headlined “The UFO reports of Brazilian General Alfredo Moacyr Uchoa” which can be found in the online magazine Alternate Perceptions. Gordon Creighton wrote a 3-part series of articles based on information he got from a 9-part series of articles by Eduardo Santa Maria that appeared in the Rio de Janeiro paper O Dia from October 26, to November 4, 1972. Creighton’s articles were published in the Flying Saucer Review Case Histories Supplements 12, 15, and 16, December 1972, June and August 1973 respectively. When we left off, we were telling the story of the investigation as told by Creighton. Read more →

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.
