Chilling 'Alien' Message To Humanity Revealed

More stuff from the release of UFO files has been gleaned through.

Several news outlets have posted about "chilling" warnings allegedly from extra-terrestrials. Shades of The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)!

MSN posted:

The FBI files revealed alleged messages from ‘outer space people’ containing chilling warnings for humanity.

The documents were part of the Trump administration’s latest UFO disclosure release on Friday, which included never-before-seen memos, witness reports, photographs and videos tied to mysterious aerial phenomena.

One FBI memo, dated January 12, 1955, detailed claims from members of the Detroit Flying Saucer Club, one of the earliest UFO organizations in the US.

According to the document, club member Randall Cox told agents the group had received multiple messages from extraterrestrials warning humanity about its place in the universe.

The memo states the beings said all planets except Earth had already conquered outer space.

Wacky, Weird UFO Sites To Visit In the U.S.

Above, yours truly at the Roswell International UFO Museum in 2018.

Before he passed away last October, Russell Azbill and I regularly discussed all kinds of topics of the paranormal. Subjects ranged from ghosts, bigfoot and Unidentified Flying Objects. He personally saw the "Phoenix Lights" back in the 1990s.

I have been interested in UFOs since about high school. Eight years ago, my former roommate Jessica and I went down to Roswell, New Mexico for the annual Roswell UFO Festival. We both had a fun time.

RV Travel, in today's newsletter, posted an article on weird, wacky UFO sites to visit. 

They begin it with:

As of November 2024, the Pentagon has analyzed 1,652 reports of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs). Of those, 757 were recorded between May 2023 and June 2024, with 21 still classified as unexplained. Even if you’re not a UFO enthusiast, this is certainly intriguing. It reminds me of the fascinating places you can visit and learn more about UFOs right here in the USA.

What is a UFO?

Unidentified flying objects (UFOs) are not new. The first alleged UFO sighting in the United States dates back to the 1890s! Since that time, there have been many, many reported sightings from Washington to Maine and New Mexico to Indiana, with places in between, as well.

A Gallup poll taken in 2021 found that four out of ten Americans believe that UFOs are alien spacecraft from other planets. Recent sentiment seems to indicate that the number is rising—especially given the latest news. No matter what your position may be, there are UFO sighting locations throughout the USA. Here are just two places to consider adding to your next RV trip.

Inside The "Alien Autopsy" Video

Above, the alien autopsy display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Remember the alien autopsy video that surfaced back around 1995 during the heyday of Art Bell's Coast-To-Coast radio show?

Well, the video has resurfaced again. 

With interest in UFOs (or UAPs) rising thanks to information being released by the government, the video has been dusted off and brought out again.

The Daily Mail (U.K.) posted an article on this and it begins with:

An 18-minute video of an alleged alien autopsy that sent the world into a frenzy decades ago has resurfaced as investigations into UFOs have reached a fever pitch.

The shocking film, showing three people in hazmat suits dissecting what appeared to be an alien body from the 1947 Roswell crash in New Mexico, was originally released in 1995.

The grainy black-and-white footage was televised worldwide, revealing a humanoid figure with a large head and dark eyes being cut open, further fueling the growing speculation of a government cover-up.

Millions of viewers were fascinated because the film seemed to prove that aliens existed, especially as shows like The X-Files were becoming a cultural phenomenon.

Years later, however, the film's producers admitted it was all a sophisticated hoax filmed in a London apartment using animal parts and plastic casts.

Despite their confession, questions remained, as one of the filmmakers behind the fake alien autopsy claimed the video was based on a real recording of scientists examining the remains of a dead extraterrestrial.

The film has now surged back into the public conversation about alien life, thanks to a new docuseries that is set to explore this mystery, diving into the video's creation 30 years ago and its lasting impact on UFO culture.

New Mexico UFO Incidents We Never Heard Of

Above, an alien and flying saucer display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Most everyone with just the slightest interest in Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) are familiar with the Roswell Incident of July 1947.

The Roswell, New Mexico UFO crash is just one of many UFO incidents in the state. Most of which nobody has ever heard of.

Yahoo! News has posted an article from KRQE on these other incidents.

They begin it with:

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – You probably already know about the Roswell UFO incident, but New Mexico’s history of unidentified flying objects is far richer – and weirder – than just that one event.

To explore that history, KRQE News 13 spoke with David Marler, the executive director of the National UFO Historical Records Center. He has access to a massive collection of UFO reports from New Mexico and around the world. Here are a few incidents you might not have heard of.

It must be that time again in New Mexico.

I received the first email from the organizers of AlienFest, the downtown mainstreet portion of the 2024 UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. I attended the 2018 UFO Festival and had a great time.

Breakdown of The History of UFO Crashes

Above, a crashed UFO diorama at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Since I have been holed up indoors due to rain and snow showers and not having posted anything pertaining to Unidentified Flying Objects in a while, here's a story that caught my attention.

If you thought Roswell, New Mexico was the first (in 1947) UFO crash, well, you're mistaken. The Trinity atomic bomb test in 1945 (two years before Roswell) caused UFO to crash. 

KLAS (out of Las Vegas) has an article with the breakdown of the history of alleged UFO crashes.

They begin it with:

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Stories about crashed saucers and coverups have been around since the end of World War II. But now, these stories are being taken seriously in Washington.

When former intelligence officer David Grusch testified last July about nonhuman craft hidden away for decades inside special access programs, it caught some members of Congress and major media off guard.

However, the lore of crashed saucers and dead aliens is hardly new and the claims have leaked out many times in the past 76 years.

The grandfather of crashed saucer tales is Roswell. A story that didn’t emanate with UFO nuts, but came from the U.S. military.

Peru 'Aliens' Are 'Unknown Species'

Above, a display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.


In September, I posted about strange mummified bodies found in Peru that were presented to the Mexico's Congress.

The researcher who presented the bodies now says DNA from them "are not from any known species."

Newsmax reported:

The researcher who presented mummified remains from Peru to Mexico's Congress as evidence of "nonhuman" aliens on Earth now claims that tests confirm these remains contain DNA that is "not from any known species."

José Jaime Maussan, a Mexican journalist and UFO researcher, presented the mummified remains to Mexico's Congress in September claiming at the time that testing showed that "these specimens are not part of our terrestrial evolution."

Roswell UFO Museum Reaches 5 Million Visitors

After moving to New Mexico five years ago, one of the things I did that first year was to drive down to Roswell for the annual UFO Festival. My former Tarzana roommate and I had a good time at the festival.'

One of the highlights of that trip was to visit the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center. The museum is well worth a visit. It even has a full size Gort replica from The Day The Earth Stood Still.

The Times Union reported that the International UFO Museum and Research Center has reached five million visitors.

They wrote:

ROSWELL, N.M. (AP) — The International UFO Museum & Research Center in Roswell, New Mexico, is celebrating an out-of-this-world milestone: 5 million visitors.

A father and daughter from Roswell became the lucky visitors when they entered the museum earlier Nov. 21, the Roswell Daily Record reported.

Chris and Hannah McDonald received balloons, memorabilia and a lifetime family museum membership.

Museum Executive Director Karen Jaramillo said it was a surprise that Roswell residents brought them to 5 million because so many guests are from out of state.

The UFO Museum, which opened in 1992, draws over 220,000 visitors each year, Jaramillo said.

Roswell has been a hub for people fascinated by space and extraterrestrial phenomenon since the 1947 so-called Roswell Incident.

Government Received Over 200 UFO Reports

Above, a display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

People are watching the skies, so it appears.

The Pentagon reports that UFOs/UAPs were seen over the past eight months and reports the government received are over 200.

From Fox News:

The Pentagon announced that there have been more than 270 reports of unidentified anomalous phenomena, known as UAPs or UFOs, reported to the U.S. government in the past eight months.

According to the unclassified report released Tuesday by the Department of Defense, since Aug. 31, 2022 to April 30, 2023, there were 274 new reports made to the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office, which leads the government's efforts documenting and analyzing reports of UFOs/UAPs. 

Many of the reports it receives are made by members of the military and commercial pilots, the DOD noted.

Whistleblower: US Has UFO Retrieval Program

Above, a display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

Here's one that could be from an episode of the X-Files.

A Pentagon whistleblower claims that the U.S. has an Unidentified Flying Object retrieval program. This government program allegedly has alien spacecraft that had either landed or crashed and the occupants found inside.

American Liberty News reported:

A prominent former member of the United States Intelligence Community (IC) says the U.S. government is in possession of intact aircraft not made of this Earth and the bodies of their non-human pilots.

“I thought it was totally nuts, and I thought at first I was being deceived,” Air Force veteran David Grusch, 36, said after allegedly being told of the above top secret program by senior intelligence officials.

Newsweek has more on the startling claims:

“These are retrieving non-human origin technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will, non-human exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed,” Grusch said. He added that, in those wreckages, the pilots of the craft were found.

Rep. Tim Burchett on Government UFO Evidence

Above, the first report by the Roswell Daily Record. Photo by Armand Vaquer

The Roswell Incident of July 1947 is the most famous (or infamous) UFO story.

As it had been reported, a big lightning storm is alleged to have caused the crash of a flying saucer near Roswell and Corona, New Mexico. The military is said to have retrieved the craft and alien bodies.

The incident was originally reported in the Roswell Daily Record, then the military got into the act and began the cover-up. Despite the cover-up, the story will not go away and the city of Roswell now embraces the flying saucer story and has an annual UFO Festival in July and the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center.

Today, the government seems to be a bit more open about UFOs and one Tennessee congressman believes that the government has in its possession alien spacecraft.

From the Gateway Pundit:

On Friday evening Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) joined Steve Bannon on The War Room.

Burchett spoke about the Democrat Party’s purposeful destruction of the country. Then in his follow-up segment Burchett spoke about the UFOs and how the US government is hiding evidence of alien encounters from the American public.

Rep. Burchett said he believes the US is holding onto an intact recovered alien aircraft.

UFO Sites To Visit In The U.S.

Above, an alien on display at the Roswell International UFO
 Museum and Research Center. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

For those who are interested in UFOs (or UAPs), RV Travel posted an article on "wacky, weird UFO sites to visit in the U.S."

One of the places mentioned is Roswell, New Mexico, which I visited during the annual UFO Festival in July 2018.

They begin with:

Recently, U.S. F-16 and F-22 fighter jets shot down three “UFOs” flying over North American airspace. The Pentagon recently reported that the U.S. government has received more than 350 reports of UFOs since 2021. (The government names these sightings as “unidentified aerial phenomena.”) Even if you’re not a UFO enthusiast, this news is certainly intriguing. It reminds me of the fascinating places you can visit and learn more about UFOs right here in the USA.

Since the article is from RV Travel, I should mention that we stayed at Trailer Village RV Park in Roswell.

TheTravel: The Ultimate Guide To Roswell & Things To Do

Above, Roswell's famous welcome sign. Photo by Armand Vaquer

A few months after moving to New Mexico from California, I attended the UFO Festival in Roswell. It was a fun and interesting event held annually around Independence Day.

Along with the festival, I visited the Roswell International UFO Museum and Research Center. It had many exhibits along with a seven-foot Gort from The Day The Earth Stood Still

Above, yours truly in the Roswell Visitor Center with two friendly aliens.

TheTravel has posted "Attention Extraterrestrials: The Ultimate Guide To Roswell & Things To Do".

They begin it with:

Driving along Highway 285 from the south towards Roswell through the New Mexico desert, travelers may be a little surprised to come across life-size cut-outs of an alien ship, little green men, and some locals trying to befriend them with pie. Coming into the city from any direction there is ample warning of the wacky, weird, and wonderful still to come.

And there’s plenty still to come.

Roswell, in Chaves County, New Mexico, has fully embraced the “Roswell Incident” UFO brand with out-of-this-world museums, kitschy gift stores, and a number of roadside attractions. Whether coming in from the north, south, west, or east, visitors are greeted by signs decorated with spacecraft, and the universally recognized androgynous alien with the oversized head, large almond-shaped eyes, Voldemort nose, and long lanky arms.

Roswell was founded in 1871 by businessman Van C. Smith who named the town after his father, Roswell Smith. After a slow start, the town’s growth and development took off when an aquifer was discovered in 1890 and continued with the arrival of the railroad in 1892.

Today Roswell is home to 50,000 residents and a booming tourist industry built around an unidentified flying object crashing in a nearby ranch in 1947.

It soon became the focus of the “flying saucer” craze of the 40s and 50s and since the 1970s, the city has cashed in on the controversy surrounding the alleged crash and subsequent military “cover-up”.

It has been explored in books, TV shows, and films, culminating in the now-debunked footage “Alien Autopsy: Fact or Fiction” released in 1995. All the information about this intriguing story can be gleaned at the International Museum and Research Center on South Main Street – the first stop on our itinerary in the ultimate travel guide to Roswell, New Mexico.

Biden Establishing Operation Keep Watching The Skies

Above, flying saucer and alien display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

The recent spate of UFOs (or UAP) being shot down is apparently causing concern in Washington.

His Fraudulency Joe Biden, in response, is establishing an interagency team to study this phenomena.

The Hill reported:

The White House said on Monday that President Biden will establish an interagency team to look into unidentified objects in U.S. airspace in light of three objects being shot down by the military over the weekend.

“The president, through his national security adviser, has today directed an interagency team to study the broader policy implications for detection, analysis and disposition of unidentified aerial objects that pose either safety or security risks,” White House national security spokesman John Kirby told reporters during a briefing.

Kirby said that the team will include “every element of the government” and is part of an effort to “redouble their efforts to understand and mitigate these events.”

The work of the team will also include outreach to private sector companies that produce weather balloons or other craft like the objects shot down this weekend. Kirby said the team will work to learn “who is up at that altitude, doing what, for completely legitimate purposes.” 

Shall we call it Operation Keep Watching The Skies?

The Hill: 10 Reasons To Take UFOs Seriously

Above, an alien autopsy display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

For years, official Washington purportedly did not take UFOs (or flying saucers) very seriously. They even scoffed at the Roswell Incident of July 1947.

That turned out to be not the case as recent reports indicate that UFOs were (and are) taken very seriously and are considered possible national security threats.

An opinion piece was posted January 19 at The Hill giving 10 reasons why UFOs should be taken seriously.

It begins with:

In recent years, military aviators frequently encountered mysterious objects in tightly controlled training airspace. According to eyewitness accounts and leaked sensor data, the craft appeared to exhibit flight dynamics that bent – if not shattered – the laws of physics. In the most notable incidents, objects appeared to maneuver and move through the air without wings or discernible means of propulsion.

The years since these encounters became public have seen numerous developments that should prompt us to take UFOs seriously.

Did Russia Really Shoot Down A UFO?

Above, a "dead alien" display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

It was reported earlier this month that Russian anti-aircraft weapons shot down a "ball-shaped" UFO.

The EurAsian Times reported:

On January 3, a mysterious object that multiple news sources called a “UFO” was taken down by the Russian anti-aircraft weapons in the Rostov region of southern Russia.

The UFO, which witnesses defined as a “small-size object in the shape of a ball,” was spotted flying over the village of Sultan Sala at a distance of roughly one and a half miles.

Vasily Golubev, the governor of Rostov Oblast, first announced the news on his Telegram channel. 

That's all we need. Russia, if this is true, could start a inter-planetary war and have Earth vaporized.

UFO Investigator Says Aliens Not Coming In Peace

Above, an alien on display at the Roswell International UFO Museum. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

A top UFO investigator says aliens "have an agenda" and are not coming here in peace.

The Mirror (U.K.) reported:

A leading UFO expert has warned that aliens “don't come in peace” after spending 45 years investigating potential extraterrestrial sightings.

Malcolm Robinson has written 10 books on aliens and described what he thinks they look like.

One of the UK's leading extraterrestrial specialists, Robinson has researched dozens of alien incidents over the decades and claims they have carried out abductions.

Although many sightings are explainable, he says that there are also several incidents over the years that are still not fully understood.

And Robinson has warned that aliens “have an agenda”, although it is not yet clear what it is.

Recent Stories Should Help The Roswell UFO Festival

Above, the famous Welcome To Roswell sign. Photo by Armand Vaquer.

The topic of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFO) or (as the government is now calling them) Unidentified Aerial Phenomenon (UAP) is getting hotter since the government is funding an investigation into a UFO crash in 1945 near San Antonio, New Mexico. This predates the Roswell Incident of July 1947 by two years. Even Tucker Carlson covered the story on Fox News two days ago.

A Tennessee congressman recently called for the government to open its files on UFOs that had been covered-up.

This'll likely draw more people to the annual Roswell UFO Festival this coming July. This year's festival will be held in Roswell from June 30 to July 2. 

Above, yours truly with the Roswell Daily Record front page reprint at the 2018 UFO Festival.

I attended the 2018 UFO Festival and had a great time. They had plenty of vendors, exhibits, the Roswell International UFO Museum & Research Center, speakers and entertainment. But be prepared to do a lot of walking as not all events are centrally located in one spot (Roswell could use a convention center to house all events).

According to the official website (from last year, which was the 75th anniversary of the Roswell Incident):

What is the UFO Festival?

Was it an alien encounter, a weather balloon, or a flying saucer? The event known as the Roswell Incident quickly swept through the nation in 1947. The “UFO Capital of the World” is known internationally by UFO enthusiasts and deniers alike!

The City of Roswell is excited to open its doors to a worldwide audience for the 2022 Annual UFO Festival. This destination Festival will include plenty of immersive experiences, live music, local food, out of this world photo ops, as well as other family-friendly events happening all over the city.

There are plenty of goodies to buy, but the main thing I was after was a reprint of the historic front page of the Roswell Daily Record of July 8, 1947, which I bought. Well, I did manage to get a baseball cap also. 

If you thought that the beginning of UFO sightings only started at the dawn of the nuclear age, guess again.

According to KRQE:

The first recorded UFO sighting dates to 1639 when, long before the era of planes and satellites, John Winthrop wrote in his diary about a large, strange light in the sky that shot back and forth. By the time he and the other men on his boat got their wits about them, their vessel was a mile from where it had been when they first spotted the light.
