Strange Metal Shard Probably Isn't Evidence Of Alien Technology, A US National Laboratory Concludes

In 2019, a spokesperson told the New York Times that the UFO hunting organization, To The Stars (co-founded by Tom DeLonge, also known as guitarist and vocalist for Blink-182) had “exotic material samples from U.F.O.s” which they believed came from the original Roswell crash site.

The metal had the potential to rewrite history if it could be proven to be a legitimate piece of alien technology – and samples could be tested by for this exact purpose. This is where All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) comes in. This office of the US government investigating unidentified anomalous phenomena (UAP) asked Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to analyze a sample of the material in 2022. The results of this work have recently been published.

The material itself is a magnesium (Mg) alloy. Although it mostly contains magnesium and zinc, the specimen also contains bismuth, lead and traces of other elements.

According to a belief circulating in UFO enthusiast circles, the material exhibits extraordinary properties, such as having the supposed capacity to function as a terahertz waveguide. This, they argue, could have been used to generate “antigravity capabilities”.

So what did the ORNL find?

“ORNL assessed this specimen to be terrestrial in origin and that it does not meet the theoretical requirements to function as a terahertz (THz) waveguide,” they explain in their report.

Truth is out there: Congress to get update on UFOs from Pentagon as Gillibrand presses for data

Congress will soon be getting an update from the Pentagon on UFOs, according to New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand — who says the session is “a priority for me.”

She said she wants a “progress report on how many unidentified aerial phenomena we assessed and analyzed.

“We also want to continue to build credibility with this office, so more of the public can feed in sightings,” the New York Dem said.

Gillibrand indicated she expected Kosloski to testify at the hearing, which will likely take place after the Nov. 5 election.

But why stop with aliens? What about elves? For thousands of years people have been believing in the existence of elves only to be silenced in recent times. What is the Pentagon hiding on them?

Considering that Dave Grohl has been in the news recently, I guess it's a good opportunity for a reminder that he and his band were heavy in promoting the conspiracy theory that HIV doesn't cause AIDS, and thus, he has a body count.

Quote: In early 2000, President Clinton’s director of AIDS policy admonished them: “For the Foo Fighters to be promoting this is extraordinarily irresponsible behaviour. There is no doubt about the link between HIV and AIDS in the respected scientific community and it’s quite unfortunate that a band reads one book and then adopts this theory. To say [that HIV does not cause AIDS] is akin to saying the world is flat.”

That “one book” was What If Everything You Thought You Knew About AIDS Was Wrong? — self-published pseudo-science written by Alive and Well’s founder, Christine Maggiore, a woman diagnosed with HIV in the early ’90s — and it fell into the idle hands of the Foo Fighters’ bassist, Nate Mendel. After devouring it, Mendel conscripted his bandmates in his advocacy for Maggiore’s group.

The alliance lasted years. In January 2000, the group held a benefit concert for Alive and Well. “I’m living in perfect health without any AIDS medicines,” Maggiore told the cheering crowd between songs. For years, the band’s website featured Alive and Well banners, and listed them as a favoured charity.

When Mother Jones ran an article critical of Mendel in 2000, the musician responded with an indignant letter: “The story takes a decidedly derisive view of our efforts … I am not a medical professional, and I am relatively new to these questions, but I am convinced that those who have tested HIV positive and those sick with AIDS are being done a disservice by not having all the information available to them.”

The founder of Alive and Well is long dead. So is her daughter. Both succumbed to AIDS. Christine Maggiore fell pregnant in 2001, spurned antiretroviral drugs, breastfed her daughter and refused to have her tested for the virus. As her child became increasingly ill, Maggiore attributed her sickness to other things and sought quacks to reaffirm her delusions. Eliza was three when she died — after an autopsy, a coroner ruled that the “unequivocal” cause of her death was AIDS-related Pneumocystis pneumonia.

The death of her daughter did not free Maggiore from her destructive theories — or the Foo Fighters from their endorsement of them. Instead, Maggiore doubled down. She accused the coroner of political bias and continued to refuse treatment for herself. She died three years after her daughter, of pneumonia as well, and we are left with the very essence of tragedy: a denial of extreme and self-annihilating sophistication.

Don't we already have terahertz waveguides?

More to the point, what to heck do terahertz waveguides have to do with ant-gravity?

Yes, but.

Terahertz radiation is still a very active area of research. Looking up 'terahertz waveguides' shows that this is still a considerable engineering problem that has few really good solutions.

What? Trump is spreading conspiracy theories? Can you believe that?

Quote:Trump shares OnlyFans model’s conspiracy story of people being paid to attend Harris rallies

Trump shared a TikTok video by Samantha Gangewere on Truth Social on Monday.

“I just left my nail salon and my nail tech said their one cousin is in South Philly and she is getting paid $700 a week to go to wherever Kamala’s campaign tells them to go to,” Gangewere says in the video shared by the former president. “She’s not even a citizen, she can’t vote, but she wants that extra money.”

There has been no evidence to back up Gangewere’s claims of paid actors at Harris rallies.

She added: “They get travel paid for and everything and they’re not even able to vote.”

Gangewere has almost two million followers on Instagram and is the co-owner of a steakhouse in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, alongside her husband, according to The Daily Beast.

The model has made transphobic comments in the past, such as suggesting that trans people belong “in a mental ward.”

When will one of those UFO nutjobs make a "documentary" accusing Putin and his government of hiding alien spaceships? And the answer is never because this is all Russian disinformation campaign.

Quote:Fox directs The Program, which is described as exploring “the unprecedented bipartisan congressional effort to uncover what intelligence agencies really know about UFOs, now referred to as UAP.” In July 2023, three former Pentagon officials testified about their experience with or sightings of UFOs/ UAPs, and the U.S. Senate introduced the bipartisan UAP Disclosure Act. Earlier this month, it was reported that the Senate Armed Services Committee is looking to hold a UFO hearing after the elections in November.

The doc, narrated by Peter Coyote, will include extensive interviews with insiders, experts and politicians. Christopher Mellon, the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for intelligence, and Stanford University’s Dr. Gary Nolan, will be among those who appear in the doc. Also set are Jason Sands, a master sergeant in the United States Air Force; Craig Lindsay, formerly of Scotland’s Royal Air Force Office; and Nick Pope, formerly of the U.K.’s Ministry of Defense. Among others, Andre Carson, Sen. Harry Reid and Rep. Tim Burchett are interviewed, along with Kirk McConnell, who previously held a position in Senate Armed Services Committee.

“I’ve been making films on the topic of UFOs (now referred to as UAP) since the early 1990s. I never thought I’d live to see the day when high level military officials would testify under oath to a bipartisan group of lawmakers that the United States government has been hiding definitive proof that we are not alone. The program lays out a very compelling case that disclosure is upon us,” said Fox, who was behind previous docs The Phenomenon and Moment of Contact.

Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory empire Infowars will be sold for parts to help pay Sandy Hook families

Everything from the Infowars.com domain, to its social media accounts, subscriber list, and even production equipment and studio set will be auctioned off piece by piece to the highest bidder on November 13, according to the auction house handling the bidding.

The proceeds of the sale, which could fetch millions of dollars, will be used to chip away at the nearly $1.5 billion Jones owes the families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.

Anyone can place a bid for Infowars, including its dubious dietary supplement store, and use the property for any reason.

Jones has suggested that one of his allies could buy Infowars. Nothing would prevent him from continuing to broadcast under a new owner, although he would still need to pay off the debt he owes the Sandy Hook families with any earnings he may receive.

There’s also nothing stopping Jones from continuing to speak about the Sandy Hook massacre or the families. (Jones now acknowledges the massacre took place, but claims he is being targeted and “framed” by the government). The only way Jones would be prevented from speaking about Sandy Hook entirely is through a separate settlement with the families.

The court-appointed trustee also signaled during the court hearing on Tuesday that he planned to liquidate Jones’ other intellectual property, including his account on the social media platform X that has 2.8 million followers.

But even if all of Jones’ personal intellectual property is sold off along with Infowars, it’s unlikely to make more than a small dent in the amount he owes the Sandy Hook families.
