Quote:James Fox is a dog with a bone, as obsessed as Captain Ahab’s in his pursuit of Moby Dick, as dogged as Indiana Jones’s quest for the Holy Grail. Fox, one of the best-known documentary filmmakers to ever focus on the UFO mystery, has spent 14 long years investigating an astounding series of events often referred to as ‘the Brazilian Roswell.’ Fox's 2022 film “Moment of Contact” revealed powerful testimony from an impressive array of independent witnesses in and around Varginha, Brazil, some of whom saw the craft, the crash, the large deployment of military personnel, and the capture of at least one of the injured crew members who fled from the disabled UFO. The being was described as a bizarre, oily-skinned, nonhuman entity, one that seemed intelligent, injured, and frightened. In the years since the release of that film, Fox has returned to Brazil multiple times to seek out the rumored medical team which met, treated, and communicated with the alien life form. Now, he is unveiling the rest of the story. In this episode of Weaponized, James Fox shares with Jeremy and George the story of how he tracked down the key witnesses who have previously been too frightened to say anything, why they were intimidated and by whom, and details about a wide-ranging cover-up that is still active nearly 30 years after the original events. A new, updated version of his film has now been released, and a major media event is being staged just days from now. On January 20, at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., Fox will introduce several of the firsthand witnesses. Getting them into the US proved to be difficult and Fox says his pursuit of a videotaped recording of the creature also drew the attention of unknown saboteurs. Fox also revealed to Weaponized a secondary objective of the January news conference. He wants the US military and intelligence community to tell Congress what became of the creature, and any other evidence related to non-human beings that may have been recovered from documented UFO crashes in the US and elsewhere. (The public is invited to attend the event and media personnel will be permitted to livestream the entire event.) The Varginha UFO crash is one of the seminal events in history. The mystery surrounding what became of the injured crew member has the potential to blow the lid off of an 80-year cover-up that is still underway.

Do you know what else can move through the skies silently, hover silently, and suddenly accelerate to blinding speed without generating shock waves or sonic booms or liquefying human occupants?

Holograms. Holograms can do all of that.

Do you know what can't do it? Physical objects. Disregarding aerodynamics of flight, any object that moves in atmosphere, regardless of propulsion methods, displaces air. When it moves rapidly, it displaces air rapidly. If it moves rapidly enough - faster than about 1100 feet per second, as I recall, it displaces air rapidly enough to create a shock wave, resulting in a sonic boom. So engine noises are moot in that case.

Air is not displaced by holographic images. Radar goes right through them, doesn't bounce off of them, and so there is no radar return from them, either, since they are not physical objects.

My money says they were testing some sort of hologram projector to assess psych war potentials, and to wind up the people down there in the way of distraction.

If it assesses favorably, it might soon be coming to a neighborhood near you... wherever "you" may be. Minneapolis or Tehran strike me as good test beds currently....

While I agree with the hologram thoughts I tend to think that objects that lock on radar in the sky (Nimitz encounter comes to mind) and sought out by pilots who witness encounters of such while locked on leads me to suppose there are aircraft capable of accelerating to blinding speeds without air displacement or sonic booms of such nature.  Same for USO's on sonar.

Quote:2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.

Quote:Prophets and ancient texts from civilizations across the globe are examined for clues that suggest extraterrestrial beings may have influenced humanity’s earliest beliefs and sacred writings. See more in this Ancient Aliens compilation.

Quote:Many miraculous cures are attributed to the Virgin of Guadalupe. About twenty million people a year visit the basilica of Guadalupe to gaze in transfixed awe at the wonderful and inexplicable life-size image on Juan Diego’s burlap-like tilma.

Quote:Some accounts hold that the medal was not again reproduced until several years after the apparitions. But other documents accepted as official indicate that within the next two years (183233), fifty thousand were struck and given away or sold. In France five hundred thousand more had been sold by the autumn of 1834, two million by 1836, a million a year thereafter, and more than a billion had been sold worldwide by the time of Catherine’s death in December 1876.

Quote:Officially accepted records indicate that the first inquiries regarding the apparition’s authenticity were not undertaken until 1836, but the medal had been approved for circulation in 1832, and by 1836 about two million had been sold.

Quote:In 1906, the grotto and basilica were confiscated from the bishopric of Tarbes by the French state, and in 1910 ownership of it was transferred to the municipality of Lourdes. The first papal visit to the shrine of the apparition of Our Lady of the Grotto at Lourdes took place in 1982. The most famous healing shrine in the world, long since a vast and splendid place, is annually visited by over fifteen million people.

Quote:Quicklime had been poured over their bodies due to the contagious properties of the influenza. Francisco’s remains were not found intact, but Jacinta’s body was found completely incorrupt, and was again found incorrupt in 1950. Even during World War II, over five hundred thousand people annually visited the shrine at Fátima. Since then it has been visited by as many as twenty million people each year.

Quote:It was now far too late to suppress this apparition, and by September 1984, there had been only five days that the Holy Mother did not appear to the six seers. Millions of pilgrims from around the world were making their way to Medjugorje to attend the events there at a rate of about ten thousand a day. I personally have friends who have made the trek to Medjugorje as many as six times. By 1992 fifteen to twenty million people had made their way to the little remote village near the Podbrdo— with impressive economic benefits to the whole region.

Quote:The 1939 Extraterrestrial Encounter Of Vicente Lucindo

According to the account, which first appeared in the wider public domain in the 1982 book by Abilio C. Coelho, The History of Occultism [1] the encounter unfolded in July 1939, several months before the outbreak of the Second World War, in the town of Serra do Gordo in Minas Gerais, where the Lucindo family were looking to mine deposits of mica for export.

Quote:Falling rocks from the sky (meteorites) became a generally accepted scientific phenomenon around 1803–1804. Before this time, mainstream European science largely dismissed reports of falling stones as folklore, volcanic, or superstitious nonsense, preferring to believe—based on Aristotelian philosophy and Newton’s physics—that interplanetary space was empty.

Quote:In 1802, Howard published the results of his analysis and his conclusions regarding the Wold Cottage incident, convincing a growing number of scientists that meteorites actually represent extraterrestrial matter falling from the sky.

However, a large number of conservative scientists kept on denying the obvious facts, among them some of the most influential members of the respected French Academy of Sciences. Their mockery and sarcasm was silenced several months after Howard's publication: on April 26, 1803, a shower of about 3,000 stones fell in broad daylight near L'Aigle, France, witnessed by countless people.

Quote:Few military pilots have a career as distinguished as that of Lt. Colonel Ryan Bodenheimer. He flew 70 combat missions in Middle East conflict zones, was selected to join the elite Air Force Thunderbirds team, and spent hundreds of additional hours in the air as a commercial pilot. Until last summer, Bodenheimer, whose call sign is “Neo”, remained silent about his aerial encounters with UAP. Now, he feels like the stigma attached to UFO sightings by aviators has subsided to the point where he can share details about a staggering four different incidents involving strange objects he encountered in the skies, including one close call. In this episode of WEAPONIZED, Bodenheimer opens up to Jeremy and George about the objects he saw, what they might be, and why aerodynamics seemingly had nothing to do with their design. He also mentions his highly popular YouTube channel, “Max Afterburner”, which has half a million subscribers.
