There are cases throughout UFO history that continue to inspire debate, even though they’ve been declared hoaxes by most of the people who have looked into them. One such case came up early on near the beginning of the UFO mystery. It was investigated by Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, then head of Project Blue Book, and 2nd Lt. Robert M. Olsson. In his 1956 book, The Report on Unidentified Flying Objects, Ruppelt tells the reader that it was officially labeled a hoax, and calls it “the best hoax in UFO history.” Even so, there were a couple of unexplained details that have left some researchers, such as Karl Pflock, wondering.
According to Ruppelt in his book, he got a call from Air Technical Intelligence Command (Wright-Patterson AFB, Dayton, Ohio, where Project Blue Book had its office) while he was in the shower getting ready for work. An “operational immediate” wire had just come in and Ruppelt was told that he should come in as soon as he could. When he got to ATIC, he learned that the wire was from an intelligence officer at a Florida airbase. It told of a report of a UFO encounter by a scoutmaster and three boy scouts. The scoutmaster was reportedly burned after getting too close and was described as a “solid citizen.” According to Ruppelt, transport on a B-25 was arranged, and he and Olsson headed to Florida.

According to an article headlined “Humanoid Encounters in Malaysia,” written by West Malaysia MUFON Representative Ahmad Jamaludin and published in the November 1979 MUFON UFO Journal, in 1970 four boys in Johore Bahru told their headmaster that while on their way to school, they saw some six-inch creatures and a small UFO. News got around school and a search ensued. The only thing found to possibly back up the boys’ story was a burnt patch on the ground, but this report was the first of several throughout the decade of small UFOs and associated creatures ranging from 3 inches to six inches.
Jamaludin lists seven cases along with their dates, localities, and descriptions. He makes note of the fact that five of the reports came from school children in which the encounters were said to have taken place on school premises. According to him, the creatures were described as wearing one-piece suits and being “equipped with a type of ray gun.” Some had large heads with round eyes, and some of the three-inch creatures had antennas. He mentions that there were “three more probable encounters with tiny humanoids, but unfortunately the origins of the incidents cannot be traced.” With that in mind, it should be noted that Jamaludin fails to cite any of his sources or give any of the witnesses’ names.

Often, a UFO case can be explained as being a hoax or a misidentification of natural phenomena or a human-made object. During the early history of American UFO research, these were foremost among the possible prosaic explanations that investigators explored. Then, as the Cold War developed and the American public’s trust in in its governing bodies began to erode in the wake of the Kennedy assassination, Vietnam, and the revelation of a secret CIA experimental mind-control program known as MKULTRA, some researchers began to explore another idea. Researchers such as Jacques Vallée and Nick Redfern have offered the suggestion that some UFO reports could be due to a military or intelligence agency conducting psychological warfare experiments, sometimes on it own citizens.
The idea that UFOs could be used for the purpose of psychological warfare or “PSYOPs” goes all the way back to the days of flying saucers. After the December 27, 1949 announcement that Project Grudge, the second incarnation of the Air Force’s UFO investigation after Project Sign, would be ended (the investigation continued in a limited capacity until its revival and eventual renaming as Project Blue Book in 1952) a “final” report was released. Among the conclusions (pages vi and vii) is this: “Planned release of aerial objects coupled with the release of psychological propaganda could case mass hysteria.” There is the recommendation that “the agencies interested in psychological warfare be informed of the results of this study.” Read more
Guest, Katie Griboski who will share what she’s uncovered in her decade-long pursuit of answers to her experiences on a Colorado Ranch. In UFO folklore, it was known as the “Clearview” Ranch and pre-dates the Skinwalker Ranch by over a decade and a half. At the time the newspaper headlines dubbed the ranch the “Close Encounter Capital of the US”. A place of mystery and intrigue, it has been written about in several books, including Hunt for The Skinwalker by Colm A. Kelleher Ph.D. & George Knapp, Alien Contact: Top-Secret UFO Files Revealed by Timothy Good, and many others. The ranch was investigated by Dr. Leo Sprinkle Ph.D. Some of the activities experienced on the ranch and in the area include dozens of cattle mutilations, menacing copters, mysterious lights, unusual humming sounds, paranormal activity, burn marks on the ground, baffling disappearing boxes, strange entities, disembodied “electrical” voices, and Sasquatch encounters.
She will share her insights and focus this presentation on phenomena often associated with this level of contact. Such as dark figures, blue orbs, paranormal phenomena, psychic abilities, lucid dreams and/or precognitive dreams, and synchronicities beyond chance: Is there a connection? Katie will also discuss and analyze some of her “hitchhiker” experiences.
Guests Matthew Szydagis, Keven Knuth, & Gary Voorhis discuss the non-profit organization taking an approach of collecting UAP/UFO data and analyzing it through scientific means. Discussed certain cases, and opinions of how science should approach this topic, and how the changes have been positive overall.

From February 17 to February 24, 1954, President Dwight D. Eisenhower was in Palm Springs, California, on what was described to the public as a “vacation.” On February 20, he disappeared from public view and rumors spread to the point that the headline, “Pres. Eisenhower died tonight of a heart attack in Palm Springs.,” appeared on the Associated Press newswire. The story was removed two minutes later and the AP reported that he was still alive. UFOlogists have speculated on where he was that day, and some have come to the conclusion that Eisenhower went to Muroc Air Force Base for a secret meeting with alien visitors. Read more
