Aliens and ‘Galactic Federation’ exist, ex-Israeli space chief claims

[sweep_shot]

I have been studying these stuffs (aliens and UFOs) for the past few months. Here are my personal theories:

1) These entities are possibly demons/jinns. They are interdimensional and thus can appear and disappear. They can also shapeshift.

2) These entities seem to promote paganism. There have been quite a few UFO religions (one is Raelism) that seem to suggest that.

3) I feel like Zionism, UFO, alien, illuminati, and freemasonry are all connected. See the movie "They Live".

Again, just my personal theories.

Interesting . Dajjal according to Islamic belief is head of the jinns . Do you think it’s near his coming ? Some believe 911 was the ritual to welcome his birth & also opened up the star gate where many entities entered our realm . I don’t really have an opinion just an interesting discussion

Why would you compare Aliens to us Pagans? Not cool man.

 

[Colorblind Genius]

My personal opinion on this subject is that the legit sightings which are unexplainable (may be about 5% of all what gets reported) are Jinnaats.

Some Jinns are very powerful and they can appear in the many shapes and can travel with super high speed. (as in the story of Hz Sulaiman story in Quran)

A minor example of the phenomenon can actually be seen on earth. Marfa Lights in Texas is an example.

Yup.

I think it is quite possible there is a connection between Dajjal and UFO/alien.

In other words, I feel these entities are perhaps demonic. There have been reports of human abductions (some have disappeared or died) and cattle mutilations.

Yes.

Jinns can do all these (traveling very fast, shapeshifting etc.). They can also appear and disappear just like these UFOs are doing.

Alien abductions have been thoroughly debunked. I am not sure bout Jinns. But aren't they imaginary? Has anyone caught any Jinn on tape or camera? What is the proof they even exist?

Someone knows more than most, now Chinese dragons are going to fight aliens.

A MAN arrested near a Space Force base planned to warn officials of a battle between US aliens and Chinese dragons on orders from the President, he reportedly told cops.

Investigators allege that Johnson stole the truck from Riviera Beach before his arrest roughly two hours north, in the Cocoa Beach area.

Johnson told deputies from the Brevard County Sheriff’s Office that the US President told him that he needed to drive to the base and tell the government that US aliens were fighting Chinese dragons, court records show.

He was arrested on Friday and charged with grand theft of a motor vehicle. He is currently being held at the Brevard County Jail.

A Nasa panel investigating unidentified flying objects has collected around 800 mysterious reports - but only a small fraction are truly unexplained, researchers say.

The agency set up the panel last year to explain its work on what it calls unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP).

UAP are defined as sightings "that cannot be identified as aircraft or known natural phenomena from a scientific perspective".

The panel, which will issue a report later this year, held its first public meeting on Wednesday.

Here are some of the revelatory moments.

Many sightings can be explained - others remain a mystery

"We have 50 to 100-ish new reports each month," said Sean Kirkpatrick, director of Nasa's All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO).

But he said the number of those sightings which are "possibly really anomalous" are 2% to 5% of the total database.

At one point during the hearing, a video taken by a naval aircraft over the western US showed a series of dots moving across the night sky. The military plane was unable to intercept the object, which turned out to be a commercial aircraft heading towards a major airport.

Other sightings are more mysterious.

A separate Pentagon report in 2021 said that of 144 sightings by military pilots made since 2004, all but one remained unexplained. Officials did not rule out the possibility that the objects are extra-terrestrial.

Privacy limits Nasa investigations
Mr Kirkpatrick also noted that privacy concerns limit the agency's investigations.

"We can point the largest collection apparatus in the entire globe at any point we want," he said.

"A lot of what we have is around the continental United States," he added. "Most people...don't like it when we point our entire collection apparatus at your backyard."

Microwaves and optical illusions
UAP-related data is often difficult to interpret and can be easily skewed.

David Spergel, chair of Nasa's UAP team, mentioned a burst of radio waves picked up by researchers in Australia.

"They had really strange structure. People couldn't figure out what was going on. Then they start to notice a lot of them bunched together around lunch time," he said.

It turned out that the sensitive instruments used by researchers were picking up signals from a microwave used to heat up their lunches.

Scott Kelly, a former astronaut and pilot with decades of experience, told a story about an optical illusion.

He and his co-pilot were flying near Virginia Beach and his colleague "was convinced we flew by a UFO".

"I didn't see it. We turned around, we went to look at it, it turns out it was Bart Simpson - a balloon."

Stigma and harassment hamper research
Commercial pilots are very reluctant to report sightings, Mr Spergel said, because of the stigma surrounding flying saucers.

"One of our goals is to remove the stigma," he said, "because there is a need for high quality data to address important questions about UAPs."

And some scientists have faced harassment online for their work in the area.

"Harassment only leads to further stigmatisation of the UAP field, significantly hindering the scientific process and discouraging others to study this important subject matter," said Nasa science chief Nicola Fox.

New era of transparency

One of the reasons Wednesday's meeting is so noteworthy is Nasa's change of approach. The space agency spent decades debunking UFO sightings.

At the end of the hearing the panel took questions from the public. One was "What is Nasa hiding?"

Nasa's Dan Evans replied that the agency is committed to transparency. "That is why we are here live on TV today," he said.

US urged to reveal UFO evidence after claim that it has intact alien vehicles
Whistleblower former intelligence official says government possesses ‘intact and partially intact’ craft of non-human origin

The US has been urged to disclose evidence of UFOs after a whistleblower former intelligence official said the government has possession of “intact and partially intact” alien vehicles.

The former intelligence official David Grusch, who led analysis of unexplained anomalous phenomena (UAP) within a US Department of Defense agency, has alleged that the US has craft of non-human origin.

Information on these vehicles is being illegally withheld from Congress, Grusch told the Debrief. Grusch said when he turned over classified information about the vehicles to Congress he suffered retaliation from government officials. He left the government in April after a 14-year career in US intelligence.

Jonathan Grey, a current US intelligence official at the National Air and Space Intelligence Center (Nasic), confirmed the existence of “exotic materials” to the Debrief, adding: “We are not alone.”

The disclosures come after a swell of credible sightings and reports have revived attention in alien ships, and potentially visits, in recent years.

In 2021, the Pentagon released a report on UAP – the term is preferred to UFO by much of the extraterrestrial community – which found more than 140 instances of UAP encounters that could not be explained.

The report followed a leak of military footage that showed apparently inexplicable happenings in the sky, while navy pilots testified that they had frequently had encounters with strange craft off the US coast.

In an interview with the Debrief journalists Leslie Kean and Ralph Blumenthal, who previously exposed the existence of a secret Pentagon program that investigated UFOs, Grusch said the US government and defense contractors had been recovering fragments of non-human craft, and in some cases entire craft, for decades.

“We are not talking about prosaic origins or identities,” Grusch said. “The material includes intact and partially intact vehicles.”

Grusch told the Debrief that analysis determined that this material is “of exotic origin” – meaning “non-human intelligence, whether extraterrestrial or unknown origin”.

“[This assessment is] based on the vehicle morphologies and material science testing and the possession of unique atomic arrangements and radiological signatures,” Grusch said.

Grey, who, according to the Debrief, analyzes unexplained anomalous phenomena within the Nasic, confirmed Grusch’s account.

“The non-human intelligence phenomenon is real. We are not alone,” Grey said. “Retrievals of this kind are not limited to the United States. This is a global phenomenon, and yet a global solution continues to elude us.”

[KingKhanWC]

So whats up with the recent events? Its all very weird.

It started with this a couple of weeks ago. Orb flying through the Middle East.

Now there are claims US has an alien craft in their possession and is attempting to reengineer it. lol.

There are also some claims, an alien lifeforce is being held.

Imo these crafts/objects are military technologies. They are using this alien story to scare and control people.

One has to be a bit slow to believe Aliens with so much superiour technology can be captured by the Americans.

 

[Mamoon]

LOL just like in the movies! Aliens only ever make contact with USA or Israel!

I think the original plan was to contact PM Imran Khan and Minister of Science & Technology Fawad Chaudhry, the man who claimed Pakistan sent the Hubble telescope to space.

Unfortunately, it didn’t really materialize so they settled for the second most qualified candidates: USA and Israel.

But if there are aliens with superior technology out there and if you had to choose one country with the best chance of capturing them or contacting them, who would you bet on? It shouldn’t be a difficult answer.

I'd be a stupid person to bet even 1p on this.

There would be no best chance, as logic dicates Aliens would be so far superiour they wouldnt be detected let alone caught. Unless they want to be caught, then even India could capture them.

Are you trying to suggest you believe this?

I asked a simple question: if there is intelligent ET life out there, what country is best placed to interact with them?

I’m not saying I believe this. I’m just asking you to consider this possibility in a hypothetical fashion. Obviously you don’t want to name that country which is why you are side-stepping my simple question.

The answer is simple, if any government has the tiniest of possibility it will be USA because they have the most technologically advanced military and space program in the world.

The problem is you are assuming Alien technology is such USA most likely could detect it/them. It could be their tech may be picked by China, , Russia ,UK, Israel or any other nation depending what they have in place for detection. USA is the most advanced nation in space terms but we dont even know if Aliens use space travel(space ships), they could be using some other type of method such as teleportation which we are not aware of. If you think USA, sure.


What is way more likely and what I believe is the US is using this alien news to keep the already dumbed down population diverted. Along with using this to send a message to other nations, they now have gained superiour tech ie superiour power over them.

In the 50's Aliens were spotted over nuclear sites in USA/Soviet Union. Now again in similar locations? Its obvious these are government objects not E.T coming down to ride a bike.

Aliens are in the news almost on a daily basis now.

Villagers have made a desperate plea to the military to save them from ‘7 ft aliens which attack them every night’.

The Ikitu indigenous people in Peru have claimed they are being ambushed by mysterious armoured figures which look like the Green Goblin from Spider-Man.

They described the extraterrestrials as having large heads and yellowish eyes.

A 15-year-old girl was allegedly grabbed from behind and had her neck cut when she resisted.

Community leader Jairo Reátegui Ávila said: ‘These gentlemen are aliens. They appear to be armoured like the Green Goblin from Spider-Man.

‘I shot one of them twice and he wasn’t injured, he rose and disappeared.



‘We’re very frightened about what’s happening here in our community.‘



They have said the aliens are immune to their hunting weapons, leaving only the Peruvian military to be the ones to save them.

Mr Ávila explained the aliens have seemingly use shoes used to hover above ground.

He said: ‘Their shoes are round-shaped, which they use to float.

‘They float about one metre from the ground and there is a red light on the heel.

i have a feeling if Aliens do visit us , they might not be biological. I would expect a synthetic based form with super advance AI. Have any such being visited us in past ? My answer would be that its possible. They might be basis of few religions as anything they did would seem like act of God. Millions of years ago some alien could have manipulated primates DNA which could have kick started human evolution. Theories are abundant , whether its true or not that's a matter of belief.

To your article, if it is true, I dont find it surprising Aliens do not want nothing to do with Humans.

Looks at us:::

We are a disease, we use up all the resources, cause all the pollution, suck the life of whatever we have and once we have destroyed everything we move onto to the next (We are now trying to move to Mars because Earth is running out of resources).. I seriously hope Aliens exterminate all humans, as we are are a very dangerous species..

Advanced life is like that probably.

I mean look at what other dominant life form we had on this planet. The dinosaurs, they weren’t bad for Earth but they would have never made it out of this planet.

Other intelligent life form out there, they would also be using up resources big time to do interstellar travel. Wouldn’t they be ?

Like wouldn’t be contacted by their AI form first. For sure.

I don’t think we will be in direct touch with an advanced life form initially. They will send their robots and all first if they’re really that smart.

Mexico's "Alien" Bodies Analysed, Eggs Found
Mr Benitez also said that his team found that one "was alive, was intact, was biological and was in gestation."
M
exican doctors conducted extensive laboratory studies on the two alleged "non-human" alien corpses revealed last week. The tests were done by Jose de Jesus Zalce Benitez, a forensic doctor with the navy at the Noor Clinic on Monday. Dr Benitez said "no evidence of any assembly or manipulation of the skulls" were found.
The doctors said that the so-called bodies belonged to a single skeleton. Jaime Maussan, a Mexican journalist and longtime UFO enthusiast, presented two tiny mummified bodies with elongated heads and three fingers on each hand. One was described as female, with eggs inside.

The specimens were about 1,000 years old, according to carbon testing carried out by researchers at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Mr Maussan claimed they were not related to any species on Earth.

Mr Benitez also said that his team found that one "was alive, was intact, was biological and was in gestation," pointing to large lumps inside the alleged ET's abdomen - which he suggested could be eggs.

He claimed, "I can affirm that these bodies have no relation to human beings."

The videos from the event have gone viral, stunning people and sparking fear, excitement, and curiosity among UFO enthusiasts.

This is an interesting theory. I do agree if Aliens have arrived to Earth , they would be some sort of AI, robot, perhaps synthetic flesh etc. I doubt there is a lifeform such as us or with similar DNA which could survive such a long journey.

However I dont think this could be related to religion , well not a huge religion like Christianity or Islam as they both believe in One God, aliens wouldnt be alone and if caught, killed , found dead , this would rule them out of being any sort of God, as God is iternal.

What does Hinduism state regarding lifeforms outside of Earth. The Quran mentions Lord of the WorldS, which scholars believe means there are indeed other worlds like us with living intelligent life.

What about messengers or the aliens claiming claiming to provide word of God ? They were mortal being. We have robots now which are getting very to looking and speaking like human. In future robots will pass as human in first glance. Now imagine an alien with even superior level of technology. And if their or their creator's religion or belief system got imparted on us we might be carrying over their belief system without realizing it. These theories are like endless rabbit hole which are fun to think about. With our increased knowledge atleast we can think scenarios on those lines. Few centuries back it wasn't nearly impossible to even think like that.

Hinduism has 14 Lokas , so there was sort of parallel existance. However its more related to afterlife. No older religion mentions dinosours etc , none came up cosmological understanding which truly matches our knowledge today. Forget about advance concept like Quantum mechanics and relativity. They all guessed to the best of their ability Some came close , some radically different.

Concept of Heaven/Hell is quite old and is their in most religion. For Holy Quran while the text itself is unchanged over its long history its interpretation is evolving to match modern times. Same goes with other religion. 1000 year old scholars interpreted "Lord of World " differently than the present scholar. I don't see this as wrong thing , it just shows how great human mind was , even with limited knowledge (as compared to us now) back then. They gave us moral code that has stood the test of time and perhaps will never fade away. That being said if massive World War broke out which nearly eliminates all humans, the rest few survivors might came up with their own religion perhaps taking elements of current major religion.

Humans seems to be genetically wired to have a belief system , so religion will always be a part of us. Religion gives us sense of community , moral code. Its a great binding force. World would be sad place without religion.

Alien life in Universe: Scientists say finding it is 'only a matter of time'

Many astronomers are no longer asking whether there is life elsewhere in the Universe.

The question on their minds is instead: when will we find it?

Many are optimistic of detecting life signs on a faraway world within our lifetimes - possibly in the next few years.

And one scientist, leading a mission to Jupiter, goes as far as saying it would be "surprising" if there was no life on one of the planet's icy moons. Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) recently detected tantalising hints at life on a planet outside our Solar System - and it has many more worlds in its sights.

Numerous missions that are either under way or about to begin mark a new space race for the biggest scientific discovery of all time.

"We live in an infinite Universe, with infinite stars and planets. And it's been obvious to many of us that we can't be the only intelligent life out there," says Prof Catherine Heymans, Scotland's Astronomer Royal.

"We now have the technology and the capability to answer the question of whether we are alone in the cosmos."
Telescopes can now analyse the atmospheres of planets orbiting distant stars, looking for chemicals that - on Earth at least - can be produced only by living organisms.

The first flicker of such a discovery came earlier this month. The possible sign of a gas that, on Earth, is produced by simple marine organisms was detected in the atmosphere of a planet named K2-18b, which is 120 light years away.

The planet is in what astronomers call ''the Goldilocks zone' - the right distance away from its star for the surface temperature to be neither too hot nor too cold, but just right for there to be liquid water, which is essential to support life.
The team expects to know in a year's time whether the tantalising hints are confirmed or have gone away.

Prof Nikku Madhusudhan of the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge University, who led the study, told me that if the hints are confirmed "it would radically change the way we think about the search for life".

"If we find signs of life on the very first planet we study, it will raise the possibility that life is common in the Universe."

He predicts that within five years there will be "a major transformation" in our understanding of life in the Universe.

If his team don't find life signs on K2-18b, they have 10 more Goldilocks planets on their list to study - and possibly many more after that. Even finding nothing would "provide important insights into the possibility of life on such planets", he says.

His project is just one of many that are under way or planned for the coming years searching for signs of life in the Universe. Some search on the planets in our Solar System - others look much further, into deep space.

2 Rafale Jets Were Dispatched After Reports Of UFOs Near Imphal Airport
The Unidentified Flying Object was sighted over the Imphal airport around 2:30 pm yesterday after which a few commercial flights were affected.

The Indian Air Force (IAF), soon after receiving information about the sighting of an unidentified flying object near the Imphal airport on Sunday, scrambled its Rafale fighter aircraft to search for them.
The Unidentified Flying Object was sighted over the Imphal airport around 2:30 pm yesterday after which a few commercial flights were affected.

"Soon after information about the UFO near the Imphal airport was received, a Rafale fighter aircraft from a nearby airbase was scrambled to go and search for the UFO," defence sources told ANI.

"The aircraft equipped with advanced sensors carried out low-level flying over the suspected area to look for the UFO but it did not find anything there," they said, adding that after the first aircraft returned, one more Rafale fighter was sent for the search but the UFO was not seen around the area.

"The agencies concerned are trying to find out the details of the UFO as there are videos of the UFO over the Imphal airport," they said.

Soon after the Imphal airport was cleared for flying, the Shillong-headquartered Eastern Command of the Indian Air Force stated that it had activated its Air Defence response mechanism without giving any specific details of the steps taken by it.

Eastern Command, in a post on 'X' (formerly Twitter), said, "IAF activated its Air Defence response mechanism based on visual inputs from Imphal airport. The small object was not seen thereafter."

These "aliens" are probably spirit beings. They are known as "Jinn" in Islam and as other names in different cultures/religions.

They can allegedly appear and disappear. They seem to shapeshift too. These characteristics were described by witnesses who have seen them. These are things Jinn can do.

Check Luis Elizondo's (former chief of American UFO program) and David Grusch's (former intelligence officer) interviews. They seem to be implying this. As per Grusch, these entities are possibly coming from an alternative reality.

Scientists find 'strongest evidence yet' of life on distant planet

Scientists have found new but tentative evidence that a faraway world orbiting another star may be home to life.

A Cambridge team studying the atmosphere of a planet called K2-18b has detected signs of molecules which on Earth are only produced by simple organisms.

This is the second, and more promising, time chemicals associated with life have been detected in the planet's atmosphere by Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

But the team and independent astronomers stress that more data is needed to confirm these results.

The lead researcher, Prof Nikku Madhusudhan, told me at his lab at Cambridge University's Institute of Astronomy that he hopes to obtain the clinching evidence soon.

"This is the strongest evidence yet there is possibly life out there. I can realistically say that we can confirm this signal within one to two years."

Could this faraway world be home to life?

K2-18b is two-and-a-half times the size of Earth and is 700 trillion miles, or 124 light years, away from us - a distance far beyond what any human could travel in a lifetime.

JWST is so powerful that it can analyse the chemical composition of the planet's atmosphere from the light that passes through from the small red Sun it orbits.

The Cambridge group has found that the atmosphere seems to contain the chemical signature of at least one of two molecules that are associated with life: dimethyl sulphide (DMS) and dimethyl disulphide (DMDS). On Earth, these gases are produced by marine phytoplankton and bacteria.

Prof Madhusudhan said he was surprised by how much gas was apparently detected during a single observation window.

"The amount we estimate of this gas in the atmosphere is thousands of times higher than what we have on Earth," he said.

"So, if the association with life is real, then this planet will be teeming with life," he added.

Prof Madhusudhan went further: "If we confirm that there is life on K2-18b, it should basically confirm that life is very common in the galaxy."

He told BBC Radio 5Live on Thursday: "This is a very important moment in science, but also very important to us as a species.

"If there is one example, and the universe being infinite, there is a chance for life on many more planets."

Dr Subir Sarkar, a lecturer in astrophysics at Cardiff University and part of the research team, said the research suggests K2-18b could have an ocean which could be potentially full of life - though he cautioned scientists "don't know for sure".

He added that the research team's work will continue to focus on looking for life on other planets: "Keep watching this space."

There are lots of "ifs" and "buts" at this stage, as Prof Madhusudhan's team freely admits.

Firstly, this latest detection is not at the standard required to claim a discovery.

For that, the researchers need to be about 99.99999% sure that their results are correct and not a fluke reading. In scientific jargon, that is a five sigma result.

These latest results are only three sigma, or 99.7%. Which sounds like a lot, but it is not enough to convince the scientific community. However, it is much more than the one sigma result of 68% the team obtained 18 months ago, which was greeted with much scepticism at the time.

But even if the Cambridge team obtains a five sigma result, that won't be conclusive proof that life exists on the planet, according to Prof Catherine Heymans of Edinburgh University and Scotland's Astronomer Royal, who is independent of the research team.

"Even with that certainty, there is still the question of what is the origin of this gas," she told BBC News.

"On Earth it is produced by microorganisms in the ocean, but even with perfect data we can't say for sure that this is of a biological origin on an alien world because loads of strange things happen in the Universe and we don't know what other geological activity could be happening on this planet that might produce the molecules."

That view is one the Cambridge team agree with. They are working with other groups to see if DMS and DMDS can be produced by non-living means in the lab.

"There is still a 0.3% chance that it might be a statistical fluke," Prof Madhusudhan said.

Suggesting life may exist on another planet was "a big claim if true", he told BBC Radio 4's Today programme, adding: "So we want to be really, really thorough, and make more observations, and get the evidence to the level that there is less than a one-in-a-million chance of it being a fluke."

He said this should be possible in "maybe one or two years".

Other research groups have put forward alternative, lifeless, explanations for the data obtained from K2-18b. There is a strong scientific debate not only about whether DMS and DMDS are present but also the planet's composition.

The reason many researchers infer that the planet has a vast liquid ocean is the absence of the gas ammonia in K2-18b's atmosphere. Their theory is that the ammonia is absorbed by a vast body of water below.

But it could equally be explained by an ocean of molten rock, which would preclude life, according to Prof Oliver Shorttle of Cambridge University.

"Everything we know about planets orbiting other stars comes from the tiny amounts of light that glance off their atmospheres. So it is an incredibly tenuous signal that we are having to read, not only for signs of life, but everything else," he said.

"With K2-18b part of the scientific debate is still about the structure of the planet."

Dr Nicolas Wogan at Nasa's Ames Research Center has yet another interpretation of the data. He published research suggesting that K2-18b is a mini gas giant with no surface.

Both these alternative interpretations have also been challenged by other groups on the grounds that they are inconsistent with the data from JWST, compounding the strong scientific debate surrounding K2-18b.

Prof Chris Lintott, presenter of the BBC's The Sky at Night, said he had "great admiration" for Prof Madhusudhan's team, but was treating the research with caution.

"I think we've got to be very careful about claiming that this is 'a moment' on the search to life. We've [had] such moments before," he told Today.

He said the research should be seen instead as "part of a huge effort to try and understand what's out there in the cosmos".

Prof Madhusudhan acknowledges that there is still a scientific mountain to climb if he is to answer one of the biggest questions in science. But he believes he and his team are on the right track.

"Decades from now, we may look back at this point in time and recognise it was when the living universe came within reach," he said.

"This could be the tipping point, where suddenly the fundamental question of whether we're alone in the universe is one we're capable of answering."

The research has been published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.
