Native American Oral Traditions: Star-People

Long before European contact, many Native tribes in California— including the Chumash, Yokuts, and Miwok peoples—told stories of beings who came from the sky, taught knowledge, or watched from above. These oral traditions describe luminous beings, ancestors in the stars, and multi-layered cosmologies—cultural patterns that resonate with modern UFO themes, though they hold deep spiritual and worldview significance.

April 1897: Texarkana Arkansas UFO

In the spring of 1897, the skies above Arkansas were alive with stories that would later become a defining part of America’s early UFO lore. One of the most intriguing and least embellished of these reports occurred on April 17, 1897, in the city of Texarkana, Miller County. On that day, a group of children witnessed what they described as a "huge ball of fire traveling with fearful velocity." This seemingly simple account would go on to be recorded in the Daily Texarkanian and later cited by numerous researchers as a key ent...[More]

1897 Airship Wave – Alabama Sightings

Between late 1896 and mid-1897, the United States experienced a series of mysterious aerial sightings collectively known as the "airship wave."

Nature of the Sightings The airships were often described as cigar-shaped crafts equipped with bright lights, capable of maneuvering in ways inconsistent with known aircraft of the time. These sightings occurred nearly a decade b...[More]

I recently joined a Bigfoot research group on an expedition Part 1

*I will be watching this and updating it, especially as I get more updates from the research group regarding our findings*. ​I have been interested in the Bigfoot phenomenon since I was a little kid. I believe SOMETHING is going on, but I am not sure what. And so, that is what I am trying to decide for myself. I recently joined a research group on a 3-day expedition near the West Virginia border. I joined to find some answers, see what other researchers were like, and see if I could have my own encounter, experience. If you ...[More]

The US Trillion Dollar UFO Defence Budget

Apologies if I'm stating the obvious. Although I'm not new to the idea of extra terrestrial life, I've only recently started pondering over how for decades the proof has been right in front of us.  Many of you will point me to very reliable sources and stories confirming the existence of extra terrestrial life and technology. There is obviously a great degree of discrediting done by the powers that exist the moment a narrative goes out of their control. Most of us can agree on that. The absolutely insane budget o...[More]

US Military Aviator Talks UFOs

A couple years ago I met a decorated United States pilot in a civilian setting. (I'm purposefully not mentioning what branch or rank to help preserve his privacy). Long story short she appreciated my interest in the military and we became friends. I know that he probably doesn't have the clearance to really understand what these UAP's are from an need to know basis. Regardless, he is a good, honest man. After a good amount of discussion with him over the years, he believes the technology we are seeing right now is adv...[More]

I Saw a UFO Tonight Over Texas

Central Texas, around Midnight. I was taking the doggos out to the back yard to do what they do, and I was just standing on the porch looking up at the stars, trying to see if I could ratchet something other than the Big Dipper out of the various stars present. As I looked back and forth, encouraging our elderly Dachshund who has plans for world domination, I noticed a satellite going from East to West. A solid white light, which was very small, about as small as a satellite would be, and thought that I have not seen one in some time. ...[More]
