George Knapp Native American Skinwalkers in the Southwest US

COAST TO COAST AM. George Knapp was joined by cryptozoologist JC Johnson, who provided an update on his research and experiences with cryptids as well as Native American skinwalkers in the Southwest US. He explained that skinwalkers are Native Americans believed to be able to transform into an animal such as a bear or wolf via supernatural means. According to Johnson, Navajo skinwalkers originally had a peaceful coexistence with their tribe and served as scouts against advancing forces such as the Spanish Conquistadors or American cavalry. However, following the captivity of the Navajo at Fort Sumter, he said, they began adopting practices learned from their captors and became more concerned with personal property. In turn, Johnson revealed, skinwalkers started performing more nefarious deeds against their own tribe as in-fighting grew amongst the community.

CHRISTIAN RIGHT RADIO NETWORK PROMOTES ‘DEMONIC VIRTUAL REALITY’ BIGFOOT AND UFO CONSPIRACY THEORY

...“The paranormal conspiracy seeks to subvert and ultimately transform the rational view of the world through mysterious entities that thrive on instability, confusion and fear,” Dailey said. “A demonic virtual reality is taking place.”

The ubiquity of high-quality cell phone cameras has made belief in bigfoot increasingly untenable. As more time passes and the paucity of photographic evidence becomes more apparent, the more unlikely an 8-foot, undiscovered ape roams the forests of North America. While groups like the Bigfoot Field Researchers Organization continue to endorse a biological description of bigfoot, or sasquatch, Dailey positions the absence of physical evidence as evidence of a non-physical explanation.

“Number One: you have many, many reliable observers who have seen bigfoot, these are not kids on a prank. The second thing is: a virtual absence of any evidence of their existence,” Dailey told Mefferd. “So it shows that what’s going on is not really a physical phenomena. It’s real, it’s a projection, it’s a demonic virtual reality, but it’s not ‘nuts and bolts,’ or, in this case, ‘flesh and blood.’”

For Dailey, bigfoot isn’t biological, but part of a larger complex of paranormal activity, including UFO sightings and alien abduction...

Mefferd brought up an anecdote from Dailey’s book, in which a woman encountered a bigfoot at night and tried to shoot it, but the animal vanished. “That’s one of many stories, but you know, bigfoot and UFO researchers are loath to admit that, because they’re tied into the nuts and bolts, three-dimensional existence of these creatures,” Dailey said. “They’re not open really to a spiritual explanation, because then you’d have to discuss the reality of evil.”

“This woman in Pennsylvania, she shot it at point-blank range in the middle of the night, when she saw this creature. It just evaporated. It disappeared and up in the sky there were UFO lights. So oftentimes, you wouldn’t think it, UFOs and bigfoots and others of these kind of phenomena are tied, and often occur simultaneously.”

While Dailey’s theory, which replaces one paranormal explanation for another, is designed in opposition to existing UFO and bigfoot research, the repetition of a particular idiom—”nuts and bolts”—suggests Dailey may find more traction with traditional UFO researchers than he might suspect.

A “senior manager” involved in the secret Pentagon UFO program, first revealed by the New York Times in December, described the government-funded investigation as delving into similarly non-physical areas of research, including “invisible entities” and “poltergeist activity.”

“The investigations by [ Bigelow Aerospace Advanced Space Studies] provided new lines of evidence showing that the UFO phenomenon was a lot more than nuts and bolts machines,” the unnamed senior manager said in a statement to KLAS-TV in Las Vegas.

Coast to Coast AM: Skinwalker Ranch Phenomena/ WTC Demolitons

In the first half, investigative journalist George Knapp and filmmaker Jeremy Corbell discussed the Skinwalker Ranch in Utah, home of a myriad of frightening, seemingly supernatural events that have been reported in the scenic basin surrounding the property for hundreds of years. Incidents and sightings include orbs, UFOs, animal mutilations, unknown creatures, poltergeist-type activity, and other inexplicable events. Knapp recounted how in the 1990s, the Sherman family sold the plagued ranch to Robert Bigelow's National Institute for Discovery Science (NIDS), which conducted research on the property for a number of years. Through a separate organization, AAITP, Bigelow received funds from the Pentagon to study UFOs (as revealed in 2017), and some of this work took place at the Skinwalker Ranch. Bur recently, Bigelow sold the ranch to a new group that is conducting fresh scientific studies there, Knapp reported.

Interviews with the current owners of the ranch are featured in his new documentary (view trailer), said Corbell, as well as video footage Knapp had shot with TV crews during his investigations there going back years. Knapp recalled how during the early 90s, "the rancher on the property had seen these giant orange holes in the sky," and on the other side was another sky where it was a different time of day and "occasionally things would fly in and out," with the objects seemingly coming from another dimension or reality. The phenomena, Knapp continued, seem to be intelligent, and are perhaps conveying the idea that "reality is different than how we perceive it. We need to start thinking about it in a different way."

-------------------------

In the latter half, architect Richard Gage, the founding member of Architects and Engineers for 911 Truth, talked about the destruction of the three World Trade Center high-rises on 9-11, and how there is solid evidence for explosive controlled demolition of the buildings. The government has maintained that fires from the crashed planes brought the buildings down, but "the facts," he said, "completely undermine that official narrative," and his group is demanding a new investigation, through the proposed Bobby McIlvaine Act, named after a 26-year-old who was killed by an explosion while entering the North Tower.

Gage specifically shared evidence that Building 7 was brought down by explosives: "We have maybe a dozen witnesses that heard explosions and then immediately the penthouse collapses on this building and then six seconds later the entire building suddenly drops as fast as a bowling ball." This is incredible, he cited, "because this building had 40,000 tons of structural steel in it, 3-5 times stronger than it needed to be to support this material." While there were fires in the building earlier, they were not hot enough to do this kind of damage, he added. Interestingly, Gage disagrees with Dr. Judy Wood's assertion that directed energy weapons were used in the towers' destruction. While there was a lot of unusual phenomena, he believes there was no evidence for this kind of technology.

George Knapp Bigfoot DNA is unlike Anything Ever Seen - Why Melba Ketchum was Right about the DNA: Sasquatch is a Fellow Human Species

Editor's Note: While there may be some flaws in Ketchum's work, I've now come to think it's more  noteworthy than not. Too many in the Bigfoot community with expertise have vested interests.  The laymen are largely just following along those who have said interests. The main criticisms from the non-experts centered around peer-review. Double-blind testing from independent labs is arguably better than peer-review and certainly a good alternative when being shafted by the corrupt peer-review process. For proof of this corruption, watch this video to learn about a hoax global warming paper positing penises as being causal to climate change, which passed peer-review!

A new letter has been published at the Journal of 9/11 Studies which expands upon the points made in the peer-reviewed paper “Some Misunderstandings Related to WTC Collapse Analysis.” As explained by the authors, what's particularly noteworthy is the JEM's unjustified reasons for rejecting their original paper. Very interesting considering that James Gourley also experienced problems with the JEM in publishing a response to Dr. Bazant et. al. I'm genuinely suspicious that the JEM may indeed have a bias towards Bazant and his "crush down/crush up" theory.

George Knapp Bigfoot DNA is unlike Anything Ever Seen

COAST TO COAST AM. George Knapp was joined by DNA expert Melba Ketchum, who provided an update on her scientific study and DNA analysis from samples of possible Sasquatch hair. She also talked about how her work with Native Americans has validated a lot of the unusual aspects ascribed to the creature. On her website Sasquatch Genome Project, Ketchum said she posted a letter from a PhD technician who tested some of the DNA sequences, not knowing what they were. The tester told her they didn't compare to anything they've ever sequenced, and wanted to know if they had a discovered a new species. Ketchum has speculated that Bigfoot may be a hybrid species, or a different branch of modern human.

Proof a Bigfoot Creature Lives in the Mount St Helens area of Washington State

COAST TO COAST AM. Mitchel Townsend reported on his research paper (selected images) which he believes proves that a Bigfoot-like creature resides in the Mount St. Helens area of Washington state. In 2013, he came upon a stack of deer bones, and noticed they had giant teeth marks notched into them-- the markings did not fit any predator profile and were too large to have been made by humans. Further, large footprints with a length of 16 inches were found near the bones. Extrapolating the teeth and footprint measurements, Townsend concluded that the creature is around 8 ½ feet tall, with a wide stride.

Proof a Bigfoot Creature Lives in the Mount St Helens area of Washington State

Biography:

Mitchel Townsend recently co-authored a scientific paper which he says definitively proves the existence of an unidentified Bigfoot-like creature in the Mount St. Helen's area of Washington state. Their conclusions are confirmed, verified and have not been disproven or even questioned by the 30 PhD’s that they have sent it to for analysis. Additionally, he has taught two ground breaking "Bigfoot" courses at the college level.

Professor Townsend specializes in designing accelerated digital learning environments for adult learners in higher education and organizational training settings. He is a Presidential and International Honors Scholar with degrees from the University of Puget Sound (BA), Pepperdine Graduate School of Education and Psychology (MA), and has almost completed an (EdD) from the University of Calgary’s, Graduate Division of Educational Research focused upon creating global learning communities supported and augmented by social networking structures.

Genetics Professor says Bigfoot IS Living in Remote Parts of the World

Discusses DNA research on samples of alleged hair from Bigfoot. Bryan Sykes began by pointing out that homo sapiens were "not the only human species" to have lived on this planet, and that there is a chance that there are still isolated members of the human family living (or hiding) in remote areas of the world. Sykes says that some of his colleagues (including some senior scientists) have supported his research because they believe that Bigfoot is a mystery that can be addressed by science. Sykes asked researchers and Bigfoot hunters from around the world to send him hair samples for DNA testing.

multiple Bigfoot generations living in Whitehall, NY 🙉 Bigfoot sightings in NY 🙉 Whitehall Bigfoot

Multiple Bigfoot generations have been living in Whitehall, NY for at least 300 years, as proved by both historical and recent Bigfoot sightings in NY. The Whitehall Bigfoot was recently investigated by an organization of Bigfoot field researchers from the USA and Canada, whose acronym is the BFRO. The BFRO goes on annual field expeditions, in search of Bigfoot, which is sometimes referred to as Sasquatch. The members recently conducted interviews with witnesses, in the area of Whitehall, New York, in addition to visiting in person, the areas known for Sasquatch activity. When some hear "New York" mentioned, most think of a city, a metropolis where no trees can be seen, except in Central Park. However in the upper state of New York, among the hills of the Adirondacks, there are few houses and few people to be seen. A lonely ribbon of highway pierces the Adirondack forest. There is no street to walk on. The only travelers are riding in automobiles, and if one is unlucky enough to be walking, the passing cars would be few. The sparsely populated village of Whitehall, is one of the few inhabited towns in the wilderness of upstate. The Bigfoot field expedition arrived in town in September of 2005. The researchers of the BFRO interviewed an eyewitness, whose name was Henry. Since childhood Henry had worked on the family farm... a christmas tree farm. Thoughout his thirty years, he had occasionally seen footprints, in the oldest section of the farm, the farthest part of the family's property, that area nearest to the edge of the woods. There stood the taller, older pine trees, used for grafting. The footprints occured only rarely but they were always large... twenty inches, the one time that Henry measured. The footprints were always accompanied by broken branches, as if disturbed by something passing. The partly severed branches would swing in the wind, as high overhead as ten feet, marking a trail leading into the forest. But that way lay only the mountains, uninhabited by men. A young couple in the year 2000, were hiking on the trail to Buck Mountain. The peak of the mountain can be seen from Whitehall. John and his girlfriend left the trail to explore the forest, and they came to running water. The young woman was a model, and she wanted some photographs of herself outdoors, for her portfolio. Before the young man could remove the lens cap from his camera, they heard a deep roaring sound, like that of a large mammal. John was a backpacker, familiar with all kinds of animal noises. This cry he had never before heard, sounding like a combination of a growl, and a scream. He was scared. He guided his girlfriend back toward the trail. The blood-curdling scream was repeated, and getting closer. Then they heard rapid footfalls nearby, crunching through the dry, dead leaves, covering the ground. Suddenly John realized, it was trying to circle them. When they reached the trail, they began to run, in the direction of the trailhead. This was the longest fifteen minutes of their lives, because although the creature no longer cried out, they could hear it following them, just out of sight, in the woods on their left side, until they reached their automobile, locking themselves inside. Human encounters with a colony of Sasquatch in Whitehall, began as early as 1759. In the same area, English colonies were at war with French colonies. The British military detachment of Rogers' Rangers, and their American Indian allies, both reported confrontations with Sasquatch. On one march in the wilderness, the Rangers were pelted with rocks and stones, by large hairy primates, to which they gave a name... mountain apes. The mountain apes were driven away by the soldiers, with a single volley of musket fire. Iroquois Indians, loyal to the English, related tribal accounts perhaps old as millenia. They describe a creature which guards its own land, a creature which tosses large pinecones at trespassers. Its Iroquois name is the slippery thing, because it is smart enough to avoid the traps of men. A local researcher, Paul Bartholomew, has proposed to the town board of Whitehall, a resolution making it illegal to hunt or shoot Sasquatch. Paul hopes to build a museum in the village, and looks forward to establishing the first annual Bigfoot festival, in the rural New York region of upstate.

Possible Bigfoot Activity Ongoing in Pennsylvania in 2018

Possible Bigfoot Activity Ongoing in Pennsylvania in 2018 (posted 8-22-18)

From Researcher: Stan Gordon

In January, large tracks were seen in the snow in Fayette County. In February, odd tracks were also reported in the snow in Armstrong County. Since May, there have been ongoing reports coming in from widespread locations of unusual sounds being reported from wooded areas. Some of the people who have heard these vocalizations are experienced outdoorsmen or hunters, and are quite familiar with the area wildlife noises. They are baffled by what they and their neighbors have been hearing.

Reports of horrible screams that have massive volume, monkey sounds, and various other odd calls have been reported from various areas from the southwest section of the state. Local residents are independently reporting not only the odd vocalizations, but the sounds of breaking and falling trees, and in some cases the sound of what appears to be heavy bidpedal footsteps. At some locations animals seem frightened, and the local nature sounds suddenly just stop when these loud vocalizations are heard.

In August, Eric Altman, Director of the Pennsylvania Cryptozoology Society and I, were investigating recent incidents deep in the woods at locations of Westmoreland and Armstrong counties, where residents had been reporting these activities. In Armstrong County some interesting tree damage was found on healthy trees, where limbs appeared twisted about 9 to 10 feet off the ground.

At a heavily wooded location in Westmoreland County, where there has been a history of Bigfoot activity around the general area, a flattened area about 8 feet long, was discovered by the property owner. This did not look like a deer bedding area or related to weather damage that I have seen many times over the years. It looks as though some large animal may have been lying in that location. There is no way to say it was Bigfoot, but similar flattened areas have been seen over the years at locations where we had investigated possible Bigfoot activity.

During the last year, I have lectured and appeared at many events throughout this part of the state and a number of  people approached me, some very privately, and shared their personal accounts of seeing what they believed was a Bigfoot. Some folks had some interesting photos to share of footprints that they had found at various locations. Some people had talked with friends or relatives who had had recent encounters even in 2018. Some of them shared these accounts, but told me the witnesses were reluctant to come forward fearing that they wouldn’t be believed.

I recall hearing reports for example from Allegheny, Cambria, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Somerset, Washington, and Westmoreland counties as well as from areas around the Allegheny National Forest, and in the eastern part of the state. Look for my upcoming report concerning a multi-witness incident with a Bigfoot that was observed at close range in the Pittsburgh area this past July.

As recently as last night, I received a report from a rural location outside of West Newton, that a series of strange whoop calls were heard, and later the sound of three heavy footsteps were also heard in the area where the whoop sounds were coming from. This area has had a history of Bigfoot sightings since the late 1960s.

From the information I am receiving from the public and other researchers, there appears that there could be ongoing activity that is going unreported. If you have seen or heard anything unusual in Pennsylvania, please contact me via phone 724-838-7768 or email: paufo@comcast.net.

Multiple Family Members Describe Close Range Bigfoot Encounter Near Pittsburgh, Pa.

Multiple Family Members Describe Close Range Bigfoot Encounter Near Pittsburgh, Pa.

Date of Incident: July 14, 2018

From Researcher: Stan Gordon

www.stangordon.info

This sketch by Dave Dragosin   was based on the interview with the eyewitness.

A member of a family contacted me concerning an incident that had taken place on July 14, 2018, at a family picnic in a rural location outside of Pittsburgh. The person that I initially interviewed by phone sounded very sincere, and provided a detailed account of a strange encounter that various relatives experienced who attended the event that day.  During the extended conversation, I was also able to interview some other family members who told me about what had occurred. They sounded shaken as they described the encounter that had taken place.

One witness I talked with saw a creature at close range that was similar to other Bigfoot reports that I was aware of from around the Pittsburgh area. I was able to obtain a lot of information from those involved concerning the unusual experiences that had occurred.

The family members, who didn’t want to be identified, were perplexed over what had taken place and were looking for answers to what had occurred. I contacted two experienced Bigfoot Investigators, Dave and Cindy Dragosin who lived in the Pittsburgh area as well. The Dragosin’s while independent investigators, also collaborate with other Bigfoot research groups such as the Keystone Bigfoot Project, Pennsylvania Cryptozoological Society, and Goosebumps Paranormal. Dave has become well known as a Bigfoot eyewitness forensic artist, where he sketches the creatures described by witnesses whom he has interviewed.

Dave and Cindy arranged to meet with family members during daylight at the location where the encounter had taken place. The witnesses were reluctant to return to that location after dark. The investigators interviewed those involved, took pictures and gathered other information, and Dave sketched the creature based on the testimony of an eyewitness.

The following details were obtained from the investigation report by Dave and Cindy Dragosin. Some information was edited to protect the confidentiality of those involved.

On Sunday, July 14, 2018, nine family members along with their large dog began their day-long family picnic during the late afternoon. They were planning to dance, play music, and cook a lot of food and meat on the grill to celebrate a birthday.  The children were running around in the woods gathering dead tree limbs to be used for fuel in the campfire for later that evening.  There was no electricity in the area, and they had to use the water source available nearby.

The tantalizing aroma of the food and meat cooking filled the surrounding wooded area. Shortly after 11p.m., many of the personal belongings and picnic items began to be placed in the family cars, but the campfire remained lit and the karaoke machine kept on playing, with the family dancing and singing around the campfire.

At approximately 11: 30 that evening, the family dog became agitated by something moving rather stealthily in the woods just to the east of a nearby structure.  This very large dog began to growl and bark in a rather agitated manner. Whatever was moving from east to south in the perimeter surrounding the structure began to growl back at the canine.

This commotion caused a male adult, who was standing approximately 15 to 20 yards away, to draw his attention toward the location where the water was located, and the wooded area south of the structure.  As the growling continued, growing louder with more intensity, the man noticed a form emerging from the shadows of the trees into the light of the campfire and before his eyes he observed a very, very big, hairy humanoid like creature. The witness was mesmerized for a brief moment as the creature stood with legs apart and its long arms outstretched exuding intimidation. The man estimated that the creature stood around 8 feet tall. The creature appeared to be very muscular and massive with broad shoulders and covered with long dark hair.

The witness stated that he could hear the creature breathing profoundly and heavily, as he watched its huge chest moving in and out. The man was immediately struck with fear because not only of the creature’s size, but said this huge hominid like creature had glowing red eyes. The witness for about 10-15 seconds was able to see the full frontal appearance of the creature, but it was too dark to see any facial characteristics or other specific details.

The man also recalled there was a brief moment where the creature was swaying back and forth, from left to right for only a couple of times. Then in an instant, the creature turned to its right and ran extremely fast toward the same direction from which it came into the northeast woods. Another young boy said that he also saw the creature run back into the woods.

In the meantime, the dog, tethered nearby, continued to bark furiously in what members of the family say was a rather agitated and defensive manner. Two women ran to their cars parked near the structure, turned on the ignition and adjusted the cars so that the car’s headlights faced into the woods in anticipation of seeing what was fleeing from their picnic area.

All of the frightened family members said they could feel the ground beneath them resound from the size and weight of the creature, as it fled the vicinity through dark dense wooded area. None of the other family members stated they actually saw a full frontal version of the creature, only a brief silhouette of its movement through the woods.

Following the experience on July 14^th, the children were rounded up, placed in their respective vehicles, all belongings were gathered and the campfire was extinguished in order to vacate the picnic site as quickly as possible.

During a one-on-one, face to face interview session that was set up with the family, it was noted that all family members were quite sincere in their reiteration of the event.  It was determined that what they saw was a true to life changing encounter. Each and every one of the family adult members were anxious to interpret what they were able to hear, and that was the vocalizations between their pet dog and the creature growling, snarling and chortling at each other. The temperature that evening was very humid, in the mid-70s, and the skies were clear. Other than growls and snarls, there were no other external vocalizations or odors emitted from the creature.

It was also noted and agreed upon that just prior to the creature’s appearance, the aroma of cooked meat and various food lingered, along with the children and women shouting, laughing and playing gleefully around the campfire and songs were being sung in preparation of singing Happy Birthday and cutting the cake. Unfortunately, that part of the birthday celebration never happened that night.

When the investigators returned to the site at a later date and the exact location was pointed out to the investigators, the tree that the creature stood by was measured and the head of the creature was approximately at an 11 foot mark on the tree.

Bigfoot sightings continue to be reported from the dense woods of Pennsylvania.

Stan’s  addendum:

Historically, there have been numerous reports of Bigfoot encounters originating from throughout the greater Pittsburgh area and surrounding counties. These incidents continue to be reported yearly from throughout the state. The creature may have been attracted to this location by the smell of the food cooking and the human activity that was taking place.

There have been numerous incidents reported where these large hair covered creatures have thrown large rocks and tree limbs in the direction of humans that were nearby. This has suggested to some researchers that they are marking their territory and want the trespassers to leave.  As in this case, the creatures have at times approached within close range of the observers but generally move off from the area once they are seen. This creature seemed curious of the human activities but did not approach any further into the picnic area to harm the individuals.

Why Social Stigma About Unexplained Phenomena Holds Humanity Back

September 13, 2018

Luis Elizondo for Medium.

Like most other biological systems on this planet, humans are largely motivated by self-preservation and conflict avoidance.

As a species, we tend to avoid associating ourselves with anything that will isolate us from the larger group or make us sound strange, or that might draw negative attention from our peers.

In essence, stigma results in a paralysis of communication.

And when left unaddressed, it exerts a chilling influence over society and across generations. This is true whether we are trying to find the cause for diseases, reasons for environmental change, or primers for global conflict.

Throughout history, there are times when we, as a society, found it more convenient and socially acceptable to ignore uncomfortable topics. The results were often catastrophic both to our moral fiber and the health of our species. Stigma regarding certain psychological conditions once led to a life sentence in an asylum and forced lobotomies simply because stigma prevented families having a conversation about mental illness.

There has been similar social stigma in recent decades around the topic of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), or UFOs — a topic that has been relegated to conspiracy theorists, B-Movie villains, and the weird uncle no one wants to talk to anymore. As was the case with other topics that hold stigma, many people would rather look the other way than be associated with what’s been labeled “crazy,” or “fringe.”

When I was assigned Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), my colleagues and I experienced enough to know with absolute certainty that UAPs exist. Furthermore, they don’t seem to care if whether or not we believe in them and they are here with or without our permission.

How can we have an honest conversation about National Security and humanity if we can’t even address the topic of a potential threat or opportunity?

Consider this example from pop culture. In the famous Harry Potter series, the evil wizard Voldemort is so vile that other wizards are afraid to even utter his very name. The idea is if you don’t mention his name, it minimizes the threat and makes him less real. But ironically, the stigma of his name only makes him more powerful.

Refusing to acknowledge UAPs in our airspace is no different.

If we don’t overcome the social stigma about UAPs and address them, we may end up on the wrong side of history — only in this case, we’re not talking about fantasy and wizards, we are talking about reality and national security.

Here’s why we can’t afford to allow stigma to drive our fears and bury our heads in the sand:

Social stigma hinders government processes.

Social stigma is often the product of fear concerning topics that have no answers and are poorly understood. Project Blue Book provides a useful example.

From 1952–1969, the U.S. Air Force conducted a series of studies on UAPs. The goals of Project Blue Book were to determine whether UAPs were a national security threat and to scientifically analyze UFO-related data. For 17 years, Project Blue Book compiled reports of tens of thousands of UFO sightings, classifying 700 of these incidents as “unidentified.”

In 1966, the Air Force requested another committee, headed by Dr. Edward Condon, to look into these sightings. Two years later, they released the “Condon Report,” which concluded that the sightings they examined showed no signs of unusual activity. This prompted the Air Force to shut down Project Blue Book the following year.

Upon its dismantling, the project announced that despite nearly one thousand unidentified sightings, there was no evidence of extraordinary phenomena in our airspace.

These dismissive conclusions in the public versions of both Project Blue Book and the Condon Report simply weren’t supported by the facts. There were hundreds of credible eyewitness reports by trained observers, many with high-level security clearances, who witnessed these objects. Our country has put people in the electric chair based on the eyewitness testimony of just two corroborating witnesses who aren’t particularly trained in the art of observation.

As is the case with other controversial topics, this verifiable evidence was suppressed and diluted due to stigma surrounding the topic of UAPs.
But there are always two sides to an argument.

During the time of the inquiries, the U.S. Government was in the middle of a cold war and, in all fairness, could not afford to be distracted on a wild goose chase for which they had no answers. As long as Americans weren’t under attack from these unusual phenomena, attention was rightfully placed towards more tangible matters. I don’t necessarily agree with that mindset, but I understand it.

Self-imposed stigma often makes a problem worse.
Tabloids and social media have certainly not helped the issue of stigma. These outlets frequently provide their consumers with sensationalized stories that only reinforce the stigma of certain topics.

The rise of social media means that now, everyone has a voice.
But many of those voices are less motivated by truth and instead seek to spread their own agendas. A simple search on Google about the program I once helped run, AATIP, results in hundreds of hits, many of these from purportedly reputable sites with “Deep-State” sources. These sites are run by the same individuals who claim to have inside knowledge of UAPs but have never provided one shred of evidence or proof that they have access to Government insiders.

But not all social media sites or Youtube channels have it wrong. Those sites which emphasize data collection, facts, and objectivity are usually on the right track. Surprisingly, some sites appear to have a strong understanding of the bizarre nature of the phenomena and a few well-placed sources of information. One specific example I have found is “UFOJesus,” a humorous YouTube channel that seems to have some credible inside information and insight.

No matter the medium, frank and honest conversation is crucial to moving forward as a society.

Overcoming stigma is key to our survival as a species.

If there is one thing that nature has shown us time and time again, it’s that we either adapt, or we die out.

As a species, it’s crucial to understand the things we can’t explain, in order to survive. And that means being open to new ideas, possibilities, and data. It’s always been this way, dating back to when mankind lived in caves. If you heard something roaming outside, you had to investigate. If you didn’t, you and your family would be unaware of a potential predator.

At the same time, an animal wandering around outside your cave could also mean food, which would keep your family alive so they could then flourish. If you stayed in the cave and never ventured outside, you might survive the night but probably not in the long run.

When it comes to UFOs, ignoring the unknown is similarly harmful because it might mean failing to seize upon opportunities and new understandings.

As a society, we have to recognize that stigma serves only to keep our heads in the sand. Our future depends on transparency and truth.

Trump Is Right: Video Describes How Jersey City Muslims Held PRE-PLANNED 9/11 Rooftop Celebration:

http://trumpisright.blogspot.com/2016/01/trump-is-right-911.html

"Not only does this corroborate the previously known fact that muslims in Jersey City did celebrate the 9/11 attacks, it reaffirms that there was widespread prior knowledge that the attacks were going to happen.

If a group of unconnected people in Jersey city knew the exact target and time of the attacks before they took place, then it is simply unbelievable that the US government did not."
