“I can literally still see that video in my head,” Stratton recalls in this week’s issue of PEOPLE.

In the clip, he says, was what looked like a black triangular craft with orange, white and yellow lights glowing on each corner. It moved silently before seeming to defy the laws of physics by accelerating faster than the eye could follow — and was gone.

“That,” says Stratton, “was the moment that changed my world.”

Guys like him are amusing.

He speaks of everyone being threatened by a secret cabal with ending their careers to unaliving them.

Yet for some reason they allow him to speak publicly and even publish a book about it.

John Ramirez, formerly with the CIA, said back in 2022 that he heard in a semi-official capacity that there was only a few years to prepare the population because "they're showing up in 2027" and if they haven't prepared the public, "there's gonna be a lot of explaining to do."
That same year, 2022, Lue Elizondo said just find a hobby for five years, because it's all going to be out in 2027.
This may explain why one faction of the government are pushing hard for disclosure, and others are trying to slam on the brakes and make it more of a slow drip.

[Rockingham]

The same argument can be made about our advanced airliners turning on bright lights as they get ready to land.

[Jonty30]

The key word is ‘allow’. Everything that is released is being allowed to be released.

[Windcatcher]

Exactly. Whenever I see talk/video about lights in the sky the first question I ask is whether they’re mandated by FAA regs.

[Rockingham]

I live in the flight path of a major airport. On clear nights, I can see landing lights from approaching passenger liners that seem to hover in the sky. Only once did I see something that defied ordinary explanation. Oddly, it passed overhead and brought to mind the ancient descriptions of chariots in the sky.

"The only thing slightly plausible is they are some species that lives underwater."

Exactly the point I've been trying to make for years. Also, it's a little strange that with all our drones flying through the sky, we keep assuming that these devices are occupied by living beings.

[Trump_Triumphant]

They could be demons who are trying to deceive the world.

[flamberge]

The only thing slightly plausible is they are some species that lives underwater.

Here is a theory for you:

They (the "Elari") originated in a location with extremely high atmospheric pressure which is approximated by 300 meters of depth in our oceans. It is convenient for them to make bases there.

They cannot survive in Earth surface conditions without pressure suits. They use disposable biological constructs ("Greys") for low-pressure work on the surface. There are several other types of constructs in use. All are remotely controlled by the "Elari".

The craft we see most frequently are also disposable units purpose-built for each mission type. They get recycled when missions are complete, along with the biologicals that operate them.

There are multiple NHI species that have been rambling around Earth for the last 14,000 years or so. Something happened about 3,500 years ago that changed the rules by which they operated here.

Charles Fort got it right in his "Book of the Dammed" over a century ago.

I think we're property. I should say we belong to something: That once upon a time, this earth was No-man's Land, that other worlds explored and colonized here, and fought among themselves for possession, but that now it's owned by something: That something owns this earth—all others warned off.

Dr Karla Turner got it right as well, about 30 years ago. So did Jacques Vallee.

Government officials cannot do anything about any of this. That is the big secret they are so desperately hiding. Everything else they are allowed to say is distraction, misdirection or deception.

The "Big Reveal" is never coming.

[Jonty30]

The current theory is that they inhabit all the uninhabitable places of the planet. Underwater, the deepest deserts, the most uninhabitable mountains and the bear and no bears zones.

[Psalm 73]

"I think we're property. I should say we belong to something..."

Yes. Our original human ancestors were given the deed to the earth (Genesis) and ceded that deed to Satan when they defied our Creator God in "The Garden".

We belong to the Prince of Darkness (and his demon cohorts, the "aliens") and can only be redeemed by God in human form, Jesus.

So we only have two choices:

Continue to be owned by Satan, or
Accept that Jesus paid the price for our disobedience (sin) by coming back as a human and dying on the cross for us.
Now Satan no longer owns us, we belong to our Creator God.

Choose this day who you would follow.

I’ll need more than the content of a 12-minute interview with a cable news reporter to decide whether or not Stratton and his book are credible, however incredible they seem. I’ll pass on his book, but I am interested in knowing what comes after next.

[maddog55]

Yet we travel to Mars in our early stages of space exploration, crash land vehicles but also succeeded in landing rovers, take pictures and even fly a helicopter around on Mars and have lights they can turn on or off. We have craft the just left our solar system still transmitting data back.

Folks assume aliens travel for millions of years to get here and state it’s impossible yet we have have insects whose life span is a day and a torise that can live 175 years or so.

Physics says it’s impossible ... but that’s based on everything we know about physics which is infantile at best.

It’s demons..that’s funny. Demons would fly around in craft, crash and die. So we can just shoot them, no need for all that church stuff.

God created the heavens and earth and made man in his image. I’m good with that. But maybe he created millions of earths to see which one actually works and when one actually does..that’s your end of days and he wipes out all the other failures..I’m guessing our earth is on top of the failure list.

I’m open minded.. maybe someone or something figured out all that distance, time (which is a human construct), speed, obstacles or dimensions.

If they are advance enough, they will understand how to manipulate physics in ways we can’t. You don’t need to manage deceleration, for example, if you are able to change the physics properties of matter to act like energy.

Also (and don’t get me wrong and think that I’m some kind of fox mulder spooky believer, I’m a hard skeptic and I think a lot of these guys like elizondo are counter intelligence) but if you follow a lot of the myth and literature, there are often what you would call ‘motherships’, so a lot of the logistics and central control would probably stem from those.

“Yes, an advanced civilization wanting to visit Earth? It’s as though I would spend my yearly family vacation in Compton.”

They heard how good sweet corn is in Iowa and were just trying to find it.

[daniel1212]

An alien civilization advanced enough to leave their planet, travel 4 million light years while staying on course, hydrated, fed, unharmed by solar radiation, micro-meteors, black holes, keep warm, and maintain a breathable atmosphere. Then they decelerate, burn into our atmosphere, start and stop at impossible speeds and angles, lower from the sky, and in the last 100 feet the aliens need to turn on bright lights to see where they are going? Really?

And apparently possesses AABT (Advanced, Alien Blurring Technology)

I surmise such are demonic. The professional magicians of Egypt in Exodus duplicated the first 3 miracles by Moses, but who overcame them. God does miracles, and the demonic as well, allowed by God as there must be a real alternative if the ability to make choices is meaningful.

In an extraordinary case was the surgery of Arigo: Surgeon of the Rusty Knife:

Methods: He performed unsterilized surgical procedures—including tumor removals and deep incisions—using everyday tools like kitchen knives, pocketknives, and sewing needles

No Anesthesia or Antiseptics: He operated at high speeds without modern anesthetics, antiseptics, or standard sterilization, yet patients reportedly felt little pain and rarely suffered infections or major bleeding

No Medical Training: He had only a third-grade education and no formal medical background, claiming instead to channel the spirit of a deceased German doctor named "Dr. Adolpho Fritz

The most prominent investigation by American researchers into Zé Arigó was led by Dr. Andrija Puharich (also known as Henry K. Puharich), an American physician and parapsychologist with a medical degree from Northwestern University. Between 1963 and 1968, Puharich spearheaded multiple medical research expeditions to Brazil to study Arigó's unorthodox surgeries. [1, 2, 3]

The 1963 Expedition and the "Test Case"

When Puharich first traveled to Congonhas do Campo in August 1963 alongside businessman Henry Belk, he went as a skeptic looking to document the phenomenon. To test Arigó's legitimacy, Puharich became a patient himself: [1, 2]

• The Surgery:Puharich had a benign fatty tumor (lipoma) on his arm. Without warning, Arigó took an unsterilized pocket knife, slit Puharich's arm, reached in with his fingers, pulled out the tumor, and handed it to him. [1, 2]
• The Medical Results: The entire procedure took between 5 to 20 seconds. Puharich reported feeling absolutely no pain and noted that bleeding was minimal. To strictly test for bacterial infection, Puharich intentionally refused to use antibiotics or antiseptics on the wound afterward; despite this, the incision healed rapidly without any swelling or infection. [1, 2, 3]

The 1968 Medical Team & Documentation

In May 1968, Puharich returned with a larger team of American medical doctors and advanced diagnostic equipment to run systematic tests. [1, 2]

• Rigorous Testing: The team filmed hundreds of surgeries in high-definition color, took extensive photographs, and taped patient interviews. They even ran laboratory tests on the blood and tissue Arigó removed to medically verify that the biological matter actually belonged to the patients being operated on. [1]
• The Chaos: The 1968 expedition was cut short when aggressive media coverage and large crowds of reporters swarmed Arigó’s clinic, forcing the researchers to flee the site. [1]

Scientific Conclusions vs. Mainstream Skepticism

The American investigators concluded that Arigó’s rapid diagnostic skills and precision surgeries could not be explained by simple illusion or parlor magic. They verified that he routinely performed highly painful procedures—like scraping cataracts directly off the cornea of conscious patients with household scissors—without the patients flinching. [1, 2]

However, the medical establishment and mainstream skeptics later dismissed these findings. Critics pointed out that Puharich was heavily invested in the paranormal, and argued that Arigó’s results were likely a combination of the placebo effect, high patient pain tolerance, a rudimentary understanding of anatomy, and sleight-of-hand tricks. [1, 2]

Would you like to look closer at how skeptics explained his eye surgeries, or learn more about Dr. Puharich's other bizarre research projects with the U.S. military?

So, demons do exit?

And God also exists?

So, demons do exit? And God also exists?

If one acknowledges the supernatural then this should not be illogical. while to believe that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for life, with profound, intricate, elaborate "irreducible" complexity and extensive diversity, can be all a result of purely natural processes requires much faith. More so i submit, than that the universe logically testifies to design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a being of supreme power and intelligence being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter, and laws regarding the same.
