What Are Your Thoughts on the HOUSE HEARING ON UNIDENTIFIED ANOMALOUS PHENOMENA?
David Grusch, whistleblower and former Defense Department employee, testified alongside former military pilots about their firsthand accounts of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP).
The witnesses appeared before a House Oversight and Accountability subcommittee. Topics included threats to national security, government transparency around UAPs, and reporting UAP encounters.
Frankly, much of the information that Grusch provided wasn't very different than the information that researchers, investigators, and experiencers have disclosed for several decades. I have written about this in my book 'Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality.'
The question isn't, have we been visited by extraterrestrial beings, but what is their agenda?
Human experiencers are providing us with actual accounts of alien abduction and close encounters with other worldly beings. Their stories are important, giving us a real sense of this global phenomenon and to the possible agenda behind these visitations.
HAVE A COMMENT? GO TO OUR SUBREDDIT AND POST YOUR THOUGHTS
Some of the unanswered questions remain. Is the human species part of a grand experiment? Who are the Men in Black? Is our species, with the assistance of extraterrestrials, headed towards a technological and biological singularity?
The experiences described in the book are brutally forthright and span decades. Some of the stories will shock you, some will offer greater clarity, and some will even frighten you. Either way, these experiences will present a vivid account and no doubt leave you questioning the origin of our species.
As far as disclosure coming from Congressional Hearings or government agencies, it continues to be a 'great tease.' Until the time comes where we 'need to know,' many of the questions will remain unanswered. Lon

Portal Traveling SILVER-CLAD HUMANOID Observed in Men's Room
A Tennessee factory worker encounters and talks to a pale silver-clad humanoid while in the men's room one evening. He later observes the entity step through a portal and vanish.
I received the following account:
"I was working in the Magneti Marelli facility in Pulaski, Tennessee late evening. The date was January 16, 2016. I walked to the restroom near my work area. Upon entering the employee entrance, make a left turn in the first hallway, go through the next set of double doors, and turn right until you see a heavy steel door. I walked to the restroom and no one was there. In preparation for going back to the floor, I was washing my hands. That's when I felt someone watching me.
I turned to look at a shiny silver baseball cap that was flat on top. I thought it was a ghost trying to see me and jumping back quickly with the tip of the brim exposed. My eyes caught sight of a man wearing a silver suit jacket, trousers, gloves and low-top converse-like shoes made of light grey silver shades. His eyes did not blink. He quickly turned his face in the corner of the bulkhead and was afraid, quivering as I looked at him four feet away. I said, "I didn't mean to frighten you but. I'm about to leave and it's alright, I'm shy too! I'm about to be done so I can get out of your way!"
I walked back to wash my hands. So he peeked. I thought he must really be ridiculed and humiliated by some of the other employees, but why is he working here if so? I have never seen him on this shift and didn't hear the big heavy steel door open with the machines' noise. He was not there when I walked in. He was not a ghost and intelligently moved. He made scuff sounds with his clothing touching the wall and was a solid flesh being.
Then I said, "I'm leaving now so the rest room is all yours." At a distance of about 11 feet I walk toward the bulkhead to start my way out. Then another employee opens the heavy steel door and the human-like entity darts from behind the wall and slides for a split second. He looks at me up and down and at my face nervously, as if to say you are not supposed to see me. He had long pointed ears and a thin bony pushed up nose and no hair around the cap edges. There was no emblem on any clothing.
He quickly swung his head around to see if the employee had seen him yet. I saw a portal opening as he took those few steps between the urinal and the first toilet wall. He ducks his head slightly and leaps in to disappear.
There's no way I can take this truth and the unknown to my grave! H

Washington Deer Hunter Encounters FRIGHTENED & TRAPPED JUVENILE SASQUATCH
A deer hunter in Washington hears child-like cries. Thinking a young hunter needed help, he quickly attempts to render assistance. What he encountered was beyond his belief.
"Telling my story has gotten easier to think about over the years but the end of this incident was the hardest thing for me to accept as fact. I've told one person for 13 and a half years. I'm anxious already but here it is. I'm doing this now mostly to get it out of my head and off my chest. Thinking about it sometimes gives me anxiety. I don't know how people talk about these experiences. It was so unexpected.
I have been hunting black-tailed deer in Washington state for more than 30 years. This was a great day for hunting, with hard rain and gusty winds. I was boat hunting and heading to my area. It's just over six miles away. I made it to my tree, took up my pack, and started to prepare my tree. I was ready to toss the rope over a branch when I heard a deep-voiced child crying out. It sounds completely nuts but it's 100% true and it's the only way I can explain it. It sounded like a deep-voiced child, no words just moans and crying.
As soon as I heard someone needed help, I grabbed my pack and bow and headed in that direction with urgency. It is much farther than I originally estimated. There was an old overgrown logging road with some trees broken and bent down on the side. I guess the hole was naturally created on this road. The heavy rain pooled up in an area and sunk in around seven feet deep. It was such an abrupt fall I worried about sliding in.
As soon as I arrived I announced "I'm here. It's gonna be okay." I tied the rope to a tree. It stopped making childlike cries. All I heard was an off and on slight moan, like an odd hum. I continue to believe it was just a first season young hunter that was extremely scared, maybe injured. "It's okay kiddo. My name is Tony, what's yours?" I tied off my tree hoist and tossed it. Then as soon as I released the rope into the hole, all hell broke loose! I'm getting goosebumps right now. It was crazy.
The trees, less than 10 yards away, swayed and some snapped off. Then a horrifying growl started. With a deeper growl, it was exactly like an angry bear. I pulled up my 10 millimeter from its holster and slid on my butt in reverse. I just knew that a large black bear would sprint out of the trees any second. I had a flashlight in my pocket. I pulled it up and held it down into the hole while pointing my 10 mil at the trees. I was so confused when I saw it. I began to feel like this couldn't happen. I started to think I was losing it then I got my first look at what I thought was a child. It was a child but not a human. I panicked, fell backwards dropping everything including my 10 mil. I quickly crawled forward scratching the earth for my pistol.
My heart was beating so hard that I thought a heart attack was coming. I could hear my heartbeat. I estimated it was just over five feet tall with hair all over it. There was mud and debris knotted to its hair. It was clearly scared and was slightly limping on its right side after it exited the hole. The adult in the trees was very tall with more hair and wider shoulders. They walked away. I sat in the same spot three feet from the sinkhole with mud all over me and my pistol sitting on my lap. I just had to catch my breath. I couldn't understand that these animals were real.
Later, I returned home and knew if I didn't come back I would never hunt again. I went back the next day. I just stayed on the road the whole time. My hands shake a little. I didn't hunt, I just looked around. Then I relaxed a bit. I came around the corner on the logging road and right in the middle was my tree seat and two other things I dropped on my way out. Then I noticed they left pine cones for me. Grass and branches were also stacked. I think they wanted me to have it. I honestly don't know for sure, but it was directly on top of my stuff and assembled deliberately.
Thanks for letting me get this off my chest. I've been afraid to speak of this all these years, though my wife knows about it."

OVAL UFO/UAP Recorded During USN Blue Angels Practice (PHOTO)
On July 5, 2023, Courtney Brown's (@courtneybrownfarsight) Instagram account posted footage from the Pensacola Naval Air Base. Purportedlyfilmed on May 2, 2023, it shows the Blue Angels, the US Navy flight demonstration squadron, practicing in formation high up in the sky.
Below them, curiously, a silvery ovalobject can be seen drifting right to left before it seemingly turns black and then goes out of frame.
One user, Erik Hausler (@erikhausler), noted that it was “Beautiful, and beautifully caught.”
Another user, Norbert Tom Martinez (@nortberttommartinez855),just thought it was downright creepy. “Scary!” he wrote.
What exactly the object is remains unclear but it certainly does not look like a bird or a drone of anykind.

Threatening SKINWALKER Thwarted by Navajo Sisters' Faith & Prayer
Navajo sisters, living on the reservation, experienced a horrifying incident with an apparent Skinwalker. It chased two of the sisters back to the hogan, and threatened all of them for the entire night.
I received the following account:
"Navajos growing up on the reservation hear about skinwalkers from time to time. For this reason, nearly everyone is cautious about who they trust, or what kinds of things they talk about, because 'yeenaadlooshiis' are dangerous people that have the abilities of animals, yet retain their cunning human minds. My mother has many tales to tell of yeenaadlooshiis (skinwalkers). She tells us because she wants us to be aware that there are people out there that may want to hurt us, or play with our minds. She sometimes tells it to assure me that there is a God, and He watches over everyone, even little Navajo children. This true story, which happened in the 1960s, is one of them.
One night, she and her four sisters (my aunts) were at home after a long day of shepherding and doing chores. My mom and her sister needed to use the bathroom before going to bed, and so they decided to go to the outhouse together (They didn't have plumbing back then, or running water, as they were living in a traditional hogan). The outhouse was far away, and they didn't want to walk there alone in the darkness, so they decided to go together.
It was relatively late. The sole light source was moonlight. As the two finally neared the outhouse, they thought they heard some faint sounds like that of whistling. It was birdlike, but whoever was whistling was following them and was circling the area. They clung to each other, chilled by the sound, and continued on. Oddly enough, the outhouse door was open. Usually when people use the outhouse, they always latch or wire the door shut.
As they came close enough to the outhouse, they saw a large black 'thing' sitting inside. Though they couldn't see its features, they could make out that it was human in nature. Terrified, they screamed in horror, and ran back to the hogan as fast as their legs could carry them. They could hear someone chasing them from behind, and that it was gaining on them. As soon as they reached the hogan, they dashed in and slammed the door. They hurriedly told their other sisters what happened, and they sat in silence, waiting for something to happen.
The hogan door wasn't secure. It was only an old, worn-down door with no knob; it had a rickety latch nailed to the inside of the door to keep it closed. Nothing was barring the smoke hole where the chimney rose out; it was open to the air and you could see the night sky. The person outside began banging on the walls, making all five of them huddle in the middle of the room near the stove. There were heavy objects being thrown now, and a lot of noise. Soon, they heard it climb onto the roof. Whoever it was, was walking back and forth, and every now and then, it would peer through the smoke hole at them, its face hidden by darkness. There were adults present, but being a rather rude foster family with kids of their own, they lived in another hogan some distance away. Though they tried calling out to them, they became angry and didn't answer.
Finally, in pure desperation, my mom's three older sisters, being raised Catholic in boarding school, told her and her younger sister to get down on their knees. They began praying to God for protection. One of them had acquired holy water from the church, and she sprinkled it near the door.
All night, the skinwalker would circle the hogan, pound on the door, and make that whistling noise, but even though the hogan was improperly secured, that skinwalker never got to break in and hurt them.
My mom never found out who tried to hurt them that night. Medicine men can hold a chant for you, to see who tried to hurt you, but this was never carried out. Looking back on it now, my mom says that nobody was protecting them that night. Nobody but Heavenly Father, and that he kept them safe from harm's way. The yeenaadlooshiis would bother them off and on, but not once were they harmed." D

'PINK UFO' Sighting in Rural Iowa Recalled
An Iowa woman describes her husband's sighting and details of a pink-colored UFO that was also observed by multiple witnesses at a rural gathering in the 1980s.
Comment from Jim Harold's Virtual Campfire - Share Stories of Ghosts, Cryptids, UFOs:
"A woman on a recent episode had talked about her UFO experience and how it was neon colors that were popular in the 1980s (correct me if I'm wrong on details). I just wanted to say - something similar happened to my husband in the 1980s.
He was at a friend's house in rural Iowa. There were about 15 people in total who witnessed this, at night. A UFO appeared hovering over a barn. They never saw it arrive, it was just there. It had what he described as "Ocean Pacific" pink lights. Anyone from the 80s would remember that color. It dipped down behind the barn, so my husband and the friend's Mom ran toward it so they could try to see it. My husband got there first and stood and stared for a couple seconds when it silently just shot straight up into the sky. It was visible for a few more seconds then gone. The speed was incredible. He was very close to it. Anyway, when he first told me that story over 20 years ago I thought it was so odd - a PINK UFO!"

SKUNK APE, CHIMP, OR BONOBO? Recently Surfaced Photo From Florida Raises Questions
Coast to Coast states on it website:
"A peculiar game camera photo circulating online shows what appears to be a diminutive simian that some suspect could be Florida's version of Bigfoot. The circumstances surrounding the image are scant, at best, though it was reportedly captured at a hunter's feed plot somewhere in the state and was given to a Skunk Ape researcher. As often happens with fantastic photos possibly showing Bigfoot, the game camera picture wound up being shared across all manner of Sasquatch-related social media groups with many observers offering their interpretation of the image.
Among the suggestions for what the animal might be are a chimp, a bonobo, or perhaps a bear. Since the photo was purportedly taken in Florida, some have surmised that the simian is the famed Skunk Ape, which is a Bigfoot-like cryptid said to reside in the Sunshine State. Intriguingly, many individuals have suggested that the picture actually shows some kind of adult ape-like creature cradling its baby, though this may be merely a trick of light and shadow."
NOTE: After looking at the details of the image and those statements that this photo was obtained in Florida, I believe that this is a more common simian creature. According to several investigator and researchers that I have talked too in Florida, it's apparent to them that there is definitely a breeding population of escaped chimps, even possible bonobos, in parts of Florida. Could it be a Skunk Ape? Possibly, but I feel that's doubtful. Lon

North Georgia Enthusiast Recalls His BIGFOOT EXPERIENCES
A Phantoms & Monsters Radio listener and Bigfoot enthusiast recalls two unusual experiences that he had while camping in north Georgia. Feel free to forward your experiences.
I received the following account:
"Hey, Lon. I've listened to you since Sean, Butch and you teamed up on Arcane Radio. I would say I’m a Bigfoot enthusiast who has read a ton of books on the topic. I have seen every documentary, listened to many Sasquatch podcasts and backpacked into what I consider a very active area. Haven’t seen a creature but I had 2 unbelievable experiences in 2017.
The first experience happened at a campground. I was awakened around 4 a.m. by howling coyotes. About 3 seconds after the coyotes started howling, there was an erupting roar that sounded like it was coming from all sides and completely drowned out the coyotes. It was so loud and powerful that I could feel the vibrations coming up through the ground through my sleeping bag; clearly nothing I’ve ever heard before. I’ve heard others describe hearing a roaring sound from these creatures coupled with the fact that I have studied this mystery for so long I knew right away that it had to be Bigfoot. This roar was so loud that the creature couldn’t have been more than a hundred yards from me which is quite strange in itself because one side of the campground is a pretty busy road, but nonetheless the area in general of this campground is surrounded by forest.
The second experience happened 30 days later. It was not far from where the first experience occurred. This time I stayed at a second campground that was much more secluded and deeper in the forest It was around 6 p.m., and I and other campers were standing together talking about the hiking we had done earlier that day. Other people were out and about getting campfires started. Also there was a campground host who walked around introducing himself with a clipboard making sure people had paid and joined in the conversation. It was at this time that all of a sudden roughly 50 yd uphill on a ridge overlooking the campground a tree came crashing down. Moments after the tree hit the ground I and all the others standing around talking heard what can only be described as a loud guttural grunt. This is the kind of grunt you would hear from a silverback gorilla. All of us were startled, and asked each other what the heck fell that tree and made that deep guttural grunt sound. One of the other campers even mentioned it was probably Bigfoot. The other campers laughed but I didn’t think it was too funny. This is because if one of those creatures was nearby, we might face a very dangerous situation. Thankfully nothing happened after that but here is where the story gets really weird.
At the back of this campground is a dirt road. This road can be used for hiking or traveling during the hunting season. One of my favorite things to do when backpacking or camping is wake up early, get a fire started, and have a delicious hot cup of coffee. I got up that morning around 6am, got my fire started and fresh coffee made. As I’m sipping coffee out of the dirt road at the back of the campground comes this white SUV completely blacked out. It has a huge sticker of a “Patty” silhouette stuck to the back window. Me being the believer in the existence of these creatures, I have a few similar stickers on my back window So I took what I saw as a friendly visit from a fellow Bigfoot enthusiast. I casually walked up and said hello and saw if there was anything we could discuss regarding creature activity in the area.
As I approached the SUV driver rolled his window down about halfway and I immediately noticed something odd. First there were two guys in the SUV and they were both dressed in full tact gear. They had 2 AR-15’s on a gun rack at the back of the interior with both gentlemen wearing military style boots, pistols at the ankles, black beanies & sunglasses. I mean these guys were completely decked out like law enforcement officer would be, but there was no badge, just complete tact dress from head to toe. I then playfully asked “are you guys looking for Bigfoot?” The driver of the SUV then said to me “why do you ask?” I replied “I see the Bigfoot sticker at the back of your vehicle, I have a couple of those on the back window of my car also.” The reply I received is very strange, the driver just looked at me without saying anything and then the passenger guy in a very stuttering kind of manner said “it’s just a practical joke sticker from my girlfriend.” After that response the driver then stepped on the gas and out of the campground they went.
I just find it odd that there is a perfectly healthy tree being pushed over by a gorilla like grunt. Then these two tact/possible military guys show up the next morning out of nowhere driving a blacked out SUV with an oversized Sasquatch sticker on the back window. Very odd in my opinion. And that’s it!" DM

OTHERWORLDLY HUMANOID INCIDENT at Crater Lake National Park
A worker at Crater Lake National Park observes an unknown humanoid and experiences bouts of black-outs and lost time. The incident convinces him that he has had an otherworldly entity encounter.
The following account was forwarded to me:
"Hi, Lon. I've been reading your blog for months after becoming interested in cryptids and the supernatural. I currently live near Portland, Oregon. I was recently talking to a neighbor about a strange encounter he had while working at Crater Lake National Park back in the late 1980s. The man was clearing brush and repairing a trail.
One evening, soon after he clocked out, he realized he had forgotten his work bag, so he drove back to the work site. He began walking along the trail that led to where he had been working. It was then that he felt a presence like something was watching him. He says that at the time he had no idea what it was but knew it was definitely there. He continued walking and heard a strange singing sound coming from the forest. It was like a woman or a child was out there. He said it was haunting and strange. He said it seemed to be coming from the direction where he had been working which made him apprehensive about continuing. As a result, he became so concerned that he decided to retrieve the bag the next day. So he turned around and headed back to his truck.
He began walking back but heard footsteps in the distance behind him. He turned around but saw no one, so he quickened his steps and continued walking. He then heard footsteps following him, and keeping pace with him. When he stopped, he said it wasn't long before he felt an overwhelming sense of danger. He began to run back to his truck.
Just before he reached his truck he turned around and that's when he saw it. He observed two bluish colored eyes looking at him through the darkness. He said that there was 'evil' in those eyes. As he watched, the rest of the creature gradually came to him. What he saw was humanoid in appearance and pale gray in color. He said it kept low. He was transfixed by the sight and paralyzed. It slowly crept towards him. Its head looked alien-like in appearance. It then stopped and stared at him without blinking. Then it quickly turned and disappeared into the undergrowth.
After standing there shocked and paralyzed for a minute or two he moved. He was intrigued by what he had witnessed. He then stepped forward to try to find this being and looked around for 30 minutes. He could not locate anything. There was no sign of it at all. He eventually gave up his search and walked back to his truck.
He returned to where he first heard the singing sounds and now there were tracks that looked like dog tracks but were quite large. There were only four toes on each print rather than the five that you would expect from a normal dog. After looking at these tracks for a few minutes trying to figure out what made them he had this strange sensation. His mind went blank and he couldn't remember why he was there or what had happened. He then decided to leave the area and head home.
The next day while at work his boss radioed him and asked if he had seen anything strange in that area. Another worker reported seeing something unusual. He said yes and described the humanoid creature with gray skin and evil eyes. His boss was dismissive and he attempted to explain it away. He and his boss went to the area to look for the tracks.
Once they arrived at the area and after looking around for a few minutes he remembers that his mind went blank again. He blacked out again like before and when he looked up from the tracks his boss was missing. He then glanced at his watch. Over two hours had passed. It was now mid-afternoon and he couldn't remember the previous two hours. That terrified him! He walked back to the parking lot hoping to find his truck. It was still there. He got in and immediately returned to the main station where his boss was sitting in his office. He asked him what had happened but his boss just looked up as if nothing had occurred. His boss asked him casually how his day was progressing, as if nothing had transpired earlier. That was his last day working at Crater Lake. He realized he had encountered an otherworldly entity and wanted nothing to do with it.
In the many years since that incident he has never experienced anything out of the ordinary. But he stays away from Crater Lake and never plans to return to the park." NN

Two Odd Boys VANISH on Manchester, UK Double-Decker Bus
A double-decker bus driver in Manchester, UK recalls 2 young boys getting on the bus. But at the end of the route, there was no one there. There was no way that they left the bus during the ride.
The following account was forwarded to me by my friends Cam & Kyle at Expanded Perspectives:
"I am emailing you to tell you about something that happened to my grandad. This is a story he told me around Christmas time last year that happened to him, and I was spooked out!
I have known my grandad all my life and trust him more than most! He would never 'glamour' up a story to make it sound better or anything like that. When he told me this I believed it all happened how he said it did. I never took him as a man with strong beliefs about anything paranormal and he was not religious like my Gran, his wife. When he told me this, I noticed he was so normal and quiet.
It happened in the late 60s. He moved down to Manchester from Glasgow where he met my gran and got a job as a bus driver. One night he worked a late shift into the early morning hours, operating a double-decker bus. There was just him driving, and another man conducting he worked with. It was the early hours of the morning and the bus route he was taking was from Manchester City centre straight to Rochdale Town centre (around 8/9 miles). As he drove this route he stopped at a bus stop, just outside Manchester centre, and picked up 2 young boys, around 10. He also said it was strange because they shouldn't be out at this time. He described them as 'odd', but anyway he let them on and they paid and climbed upstairs to the top deck. These 2 kids were the only 2 he picked up on the route from Manchester to Rochdale.
My grandad arrived at the last stop in Rochdale and waited for these kids to get off. He waited, and nothing. So the conductor walked upstairs to get them. They were departed, there was nobody up there They checked everywhere, under the seats. And there was no way they could have left. They would have had to walk past my grandad to exit the bus door. There were no broken windows, and you couldn’t open them enough to jump out. They opened maybe around 5cm at the top to allow air in, but that’s it.
My grandad was freaked out, but the conductor was totally freaked out. He refused to stay on the bus and finish the route back to Manchester bus station with my grandad. But, the weird thing was, when they counted the money from the bus that day, the money that these 2 kids paid with wasn’t there. It didn’t add up, as if it was never there."
