The Alien and UFO Obscure Oddities Iceberg (Level 1)

what's up guys it is gerb welcome back to the channel join me today as we start a six-part series into the alien and UFO obscure Oddities Iceberg posted to Reddit by user Blake Sama now for those of you who don't know what an iceberg is an iceberg is a way of categorizing the most known to least known components of an overall topic or theme so think of an iceberg in real life how the iceberg you see above the surface is only scratching the surface of the entirety of the the iceberg below the waters so we have six layers to this Iceberg as we start with the first layers we're going to have some pretty well-known subjects stuff you might have heard of as we get deeper into level five six we're going to get into more Fringe theories and some stuff I might not have heard of so it should be a learning process for all of us I'd like to disclaim that I did not make this Iceberg so I do not have control over the entries within it on this channel I like to keep things as factual as I know them to the UFO uip phenomena so if there's something that's rather bogus or absolutely absurd I'm going to say so and if there's something I strongly agree with I'm also going to say so so let's get this started but before we kick it off please consider liking and subscribing I really like making these videos so the more support I get the more of an urge I have to make some quality content and some good documentaries if you haven't seen it yet check out my first video the documentary on the Wilson Davis memo it's not bad could be better and it will be better so stick around let's get started guys layer one we'll call this The Observer layer extraterrestrial life simply refers to any life that does not originate from Earth from a single celled organism to a highly Advanced civilization that can Traverse the stars in a matter of hours or days these all classify as extraterrestrial life so not the most challenging concept to understand but this first entry just boils down to any life carbon or otherwise silicon that does not originate from Earth crop circles are a phenomena in which large scale structures are created into a field generally a wheat field uh these structures are often pretty interesting and beautiful due to their symmetry or geometric designs and because of the complexity of the designs a lot of people like to attribute crop circles to Paranormal or extraterrestrial phenomena widely considered hoaxes the craze of crop circles began in 1991 where two pranksters Doug Bower and Dave chle took credit for making the initial wave of of crop circles with planks of wood rope and baseball caps many of the seemingly bizarre creat a tactics of crop circles can be explained Away by Skeptics including tie an end of a rope to an anchor point and the other end to a board which is used to crush or flatten plants uh there's also a method to bend crops after a recent rain that was discovered in Hungary in 1992 the point is while crop circles are beautiful and interesting and have wonderful designs I I think it's likely extremely likely these are human-made and in my opinion not very interesting so I'm not going to spend more time on it the McMinville UFO photographs are some of the most famous photographs of a UFO ever taken on May 11th 1950 Farmers Paul and Evelyn Trent saw something inexplicable near their farmhouse in McMinville Oregon when walking back to her Farmhouse Evelyn noticed a slow moving metallic disc-shaped object heading in her Direction ction from the Northeast after yelling for her husband Paul came outside also seeing the object he grabbed his camera and was able to take two photographs of the metallic disc near his home due to the popularity of these photographs the negatives were loan to William H Hartman an astronomer on the Condon Committee in 1967 the objective of the Condon committee outside of the University of Colorado Boulder was to investigate UFOs and was a government funded UFO research project I'd like to do another video on the Conan committee because the program was basically told to explain UFOs away as swamp gas and weather balloons but Hartman found some extremely interesting Oddities with these photographs Hartman was impressed with the images noting that the brightness of the underside of The Craft appeared to be lighter than the underside of the oil tank also seen in the images he said this was possibly due to atmosphere iic Extinction the same effect that makes distant mountains appear washed out and blue in images this effect suggested that the object was further from the camera than the tank not a small local object hanging from a string like some debunkers like to claim he wrote to the Condon committee that quote this is one of the few UFO reports in which all factors investigated geometric psychological and physical appear to be consistent with the assertion that an extraordinary flying object silvery metallic disc shaped tens of meters in diameter and evidently artificial flew within sight of two witnesses perhaps we need some outside Universal threat to make us recognize this common bound I occasionally think how quickly our differences worldwide would vanish if we were facing an alien threat from outside this world Alien Invasion simply refers to a worldwide Invasion by an extraterrestrial species now I like to think that uh an invasion by an extraterrestrial species is pretty unlikely it's impossible of course to attribute human motives to a non-human intelligence but if extraterrestrials have the ability to Traverse the cosmos and warp SpaceTime it seems rather idiotic that such an advanced species would be warmongering like we are in my opinion humans would be more interesting to study from a distance a hairless primate that has recently discovered how to harness nuclear technology and is at the foot of exploring our solar system or destroying ourselves it's a pretty interesting place in which our species is residing perhaps this is something like the great filter that the fmy Paradox talks about but Alien Invasion scary but likely in my opinion no panspermia is a theory that life exists throughout the entirety of the universe in microbial or cellular form and is distributed by space dust meteors asteroid comets and planetoids let's tackle this with an example one possible origin of life here on Earth is a result of panspermia millions and millions of years ago Mars had life whether this was single cellular or multicellular we don't know but if panspermia occurred that means an asteroid or a meteor or something large impacted Mars's surface this kicked up much Martian soil and dust containing microbes that dust and particles then made their way over to Earth where the seeds of Life were carried from one planet to another there are three types of panspermia lithop panspermia which means life being carried from one solar system to another ballistic panspermia which is life carried from one planet to another within the same solar system and directed panspermia this would be humans sending life to other planets essentially the men and black are a shadowy organization featured prominently in ufology and UFO folklore essentially the Men in Black are suit clad government agents who are used to question interrogate threaten harass and sometimes assassinate experiencers of UFOs and extraterrestrials the legend of the Men in Black can be traced back to June 27th 1947 Harold dah was on a conservation mission on the Puget Sound near the eastern shore of Washington's mauy Island I believe he was gathering logs or just doing some outdoor work when he saw six donut-shaped obstacles hovering about half a mile above his boat some debris fell from the obstacles a piece of which struck and killed his dog doll was able to take pictures of The Craft and record some footage the following day doll was visited by a man in a black suit the two head to a local Diner where the man was able to recount in extreme detail what doll had witnessed the night before the man said quote what I have said to you is proof to you that I know a great deal more about this experience of yours then you will want to believe doah was then told not to speak of the incident if he did bad things would happen as a final statement on the Men in Black I'd like to say that these guys don't always need to be in suits okay what you could consider the Men in Black the people opposing any sort of discussion or sharing of information or footage of UFOs could also just be described as men in military fatigues this is what happened during the Roswell incident with Jesse Marcel and the girl whose fireman father witnessed the crash craft as well as Lieutenant Robert Jacobs and his footage of a of a UFO disabling a nuclear warhead so men can be in suits that dives a little bit more into the Paranormal and weird things or just men in military fatigues blocking any sort of conversation or spreading of information I would like to mention I think these suit clad Men In Black are a total hoax and distract from the actual validity of people within the United States government and high ranking officials trying to stop the spread of legitimate UFO sightings and footage so I I am not a fan of the suit clab Men In Black I think it's a little bit ridiculous the naasa lines if you have seen Ancient Aliens on the History Channel I'm willing to bet you have heard of the NASA lies if not no worries I got you the NASA liines are a group of geoglyphs made in the soil of the naasa desert near Southern Peru it's estimated that most of these pictures depicting animals were created between 500 BC and 500 a these large geoglyphs were made by making depressions or shallow incisions in the desert floor removing stones and Pebbles and leaving different colored dirt to be exposed now seen from the ground the nazal lines appear as nothing more than lines but when viewed from an aerial position the naasca lines then start to depict the Beautiful Creatures that they're made to represent while it's highly likely that the NASA lines were used for ancient religious purposes such as offerings to Gods who would be able to see the lions from the heavens or other varying rituals author Eric Von danin in his book Chariots of the Gods in 1968 proposed that the nascal lions were in fact used as Landing sites for UFOs he theorized that the shapes and lines were made by extraterrestrials and were created to help steer their spaceships to land safely fanin claimed the patterns at the site looked very similar to Modern airport designs and used this as pieces of evidence to prove that extraterrestrials Ed this NASA plane as a landing space for their spacecraft I of course favor the prosaic explanation here I think the nascal lines were likely used for religious purposes and are also observable from nearby hills and mountains not just from the air from airplanes or spacecraft but it is fun to think about the ancient astronaut theory I mean that's why Ancient Aliens has like 30 Seasons wherever many the Betty and Barney Hill incident is one of the most famous alien abduction stories in US history their Story begins at around 10:30 on September 19th 1961 the couple was driving back from a vacation near Niagara Falls in Montreal just south of Lancaster New Hampshire upon driving Betty observed a bright point of light in the sky that moved just below the moon in the planet Jupiter Betty noticed the light moved erratically and grew bigger and brighter at various times and Betty urged Barney to stop the car so the two could take a closer look through binoculars Betty noticed an odd-shaped craft travel across the face of the Moon with flashing multicolored lights initially Barney thought this may have been a commercial airliner but as the craft turned towards him and started rapidly descending he quickly changed his mind the couple then continued driving observing the well-illuminated craft moving erratically back and forth in the night sky the object rapidly descended toward the hills vehicle causing Barney to stop the car in the middle of the highway the silent craft hovered about 880 to 100 ft above them reminded Barney of a large pancake Bary then claimed to have seen 8 to 11 humanoid figures who were all peering out of the crafts Windows looking at him all but one figure then retreated back into the craft the one remaining figure communicated with Barney telepathically giving him a message saying quote stay where you are and keep looking end quote now it's worth mentioning that later on when Barney reported this abduction to the National investigations committee on aerial phenomena nyap he explicitly stated quote beans Were Somehow not human red lights then began to telescope out of the sides of the craft and a long structure descended from the bottom of the craft approaching Barney the couple then arrived home perplexed noticing that their memories became came incomplete and fragmented after observing the craft buzzing towards them about 10 days after the incident Betty began having strange vivid dreams for five successive nights Within These Dreams she was escorted by small humanoids 5 to 5' 4 in tall with Barney walking behind her she recalls after being walked with the humanoids being set back by her car where the leader suggests they wait for the Craft's departure the hills then sought hypnosis to explain their missing time after their encounter seen as their 178 M drive home from their vacation should have taken about 4 hours but their Drive took 7 meaning there were 3 hours of missing time where they could not explain what happened Barney's first session of hypnosis is extremely disturbing he recalls running from the UFO back to his car he recalls driving away from the UFO but felt an irresistible urge to pull off the road and drive into the woods upon doing so he cited six figures standing on the dirt road he described these figures very similar to what occurred in Betty's dreams Barney said the bean stared into his eyes with a terrifying effect Barney said quote Oh those eyes they're in my brain and and quote I was told to close my eyes because I saw two eyes coming close to mind and I felt like the eyes had pushed into my eyes end quote and finally quote all I see are these eyes I'm not even afraid that they're not connected to a body they're just there they're just up close to me pressing against my eyes end quote Betty's Recollections from hypnosis were remarkably similar to Barney's in her hypnosis session she recalls being aboard the craft talking about the technology she saw and a star map she observed within what she guessed was the Craft's control room now this star map is pretty controversial as some interpretations show it bearing Soul our sun as well as the creatures coming from The Zeta reticuli system and there has been a back and forth into this starm Maps authenticity including a rebuttal by Carl Sean in the 1980s Cosmos but even members on the UFO report as mentioned earlier said the odds of this being a random configuration of stars were quote at least 1,000 to one against end quote there's a lot more to the Betty and Barney Hill incident a lot more to study and a lot more to talk about I can't give it justice in this couple minute segment but that's a brief overview rism is a UFO religion dating back to the 70s in France founded by Claude voran the religion teaches that an extraterrestrial species known as the Elohim created Humanity using their advanced technology now key historical and religious figures such as Buddha Jesus and Muhammad have been mistaken for Gods throughout history even though the were just Elohim the Elohim created 40 human Elohim hybrids who have served as prophets throughout the history of humanity the religion believes that since the bombing of Hiroshima in 1945 Humanity has entered an Age of Apocalypse and will destroy itself with nuclear Annihilation unless it finds a way to peacefully harness these technological developments because of this upcoming apocalypse the rolian have sought to build an embassy for the Elohim that incorporates a landing pad for their spaceship this religion SL cult isn't harming anybody so it's kind of fun to read about and it's not as dangerous as some other UFO death cult so yeah fun little read the kardashev scale is a fascinating method of measuring a civilization's level of technological advancement based on the amount of energy the civilization is capable of harnessing the kardashev scale was first proposed by Soviet astronomer Nikolai kardashev in 1964 there are traditionally three types of kardashev civilizations type one of a planetary civilization is able to harness all available energy from their planetary system this gives the civilization control over the entire planet's Natural Forces including weather and other various phenomena a type two is a stellar civilization a civilization that is able to harness all available energy from their host star this is done through hypothetical methods such as a Dyson Sphere which we'll touch on later and the type 2 civilization is able to occupy other planets and other moons within their system finally a Type 3 civilization is known as a Galactic Civilization a Galactic Civilization is able to control energy on the scale of their entire host galaxy type three civilizations are able to travel across stars to stars and colonize their entire home Galaxy now the kardashev scale increases to a kardashev 4 and a kardashev 5 in which a civilization is able to control the total energy output of a galactic cluster and a type five where the civilization can control the energy output of an entire universe but we don't know if that's theoretically possible you may ask yourself where does Earth and humans fall on the cardv scale we are currently about A7 rating on the kardashev scale the Phoenix Lights refers to a mass UFO sighting in a boomerang or v formation over Phoenix Arizona in March 13th 1997 and persists as one of the largest and most perplexing Mass sightings of a UFO in US history the sightings of hundreds of people are often explained Away by the official narrative that these sightings was due to flares and flying formations of A10 Thunderbolt 2 aircrafts but the governor of Arizona himself F Simmon observed the event and attempted to make an official inquiry but was denied he's quoted as saying quote I'm a pilot and I know just about every machine that flies it was bigger than anything I've ever seen it remains a great mystery other people saw it responsible people in 2017 singon also wrote an editorial piece for CNN which he further discussed his experience with the Phoenix Lights he said he observed a large delta-shaped craft which moved silently in the sky he said it was dramatically large with quote very distinctive Leading Edge with some enormous lights end quote he expressed his dissatisfaction in the Air Force's official explanation of test flares and claimed he did in fact see a large craft the truth here I'm not sure the flare explanation can be valid for some sighting such as Jeremy corell's Palm Spring UFO footage in 2023 but due to the witness testimony of hundreds of people including the governor of Arizona himself I'm not sure we can rule out the possibility a strange and anomalous craft Flew Over the City of Phoenix Arizona the Battle of Los Angeles is a famous event that occurred in the city of Los Angeles California on late February the 24th of 1942 fresh off of the attack on Pearl Harbor and entry into World War II the US's War nerves were at a relative all-time high expecting any time an attack from Japan on the western coast over a number of hours multiple radar signatures were detected sending the local military into a scramble an impending threat of attack by the Japanese was expected prompting an aerial bombardment one quote from the scene says quote the air erupted like a volan volcano end quote five civilians died in the aerial bombardment three from car accidents two from heart attacks but later on it was determined that the reasoning behind the aerial bombardment was war nerves or a meteorological balloon a photo was then published in the LA Times on February 26th of 1942 the photo show search lights focused on what looks to be a saucer type spacecraft however it's controversial that this photo may have been altered heavily altered and thus might not be an actual representation of what exactly the search lights and artillery cannons were shooting at but this is an interesting story The Battle of Los Angeles is actually one of the cases that got me into the study of UFOs as a young kid nowadays I don't think it's that interesting I think that there's probably a likely prosaic explanation here but I have a lot of nostalgia for this case but interesting nonetheless The Reptilian theory is a conspiracy theory that was proposed by David Ike essentially The Reptilian Theory talks of a shape-shifting reptilian race of aliens that is evil and slowly taking control of Earth by taking on human form and gaining political or social power to manipulate human en entities first introduced in 1999 in Ike's book the big secret reptilians are tall blood drinking shape-shifting reptilian humanoids from the alpad draconi star system hiding in underground bases and in plain sight these reptiles have a conspiracy against humanity whether that means to take over the world subjugate Humanity or whatever I'm not quite sure but numerous people including the Roth's child's Bush and British royal family are reptiles according to Ike there are up to six The Reptilian theory has become one of the world's most popular conspiracy theories with many internet users trying to find videos of political leaders that have discrepancies in their eyes or lizard eyes as well as a lot of uh public places leaning into the conspiracy for example I live in Denver and the Denver International Airport which has been shrouded in conspiracy has really leaned into to the whole reptilian thing with a lot of posters of reptiles and such the Pentagon UFO videos finally were eaten the Pentagon UFO videos refer to a series of three videos taken by the dod Air Force or military regarding UFOs that were classified but released due to the efforts of Lu elando and Chris melon and published via the New York Times with Leslie Keane and Ralph Blumenthal these three videos show anomalous craft taken on Fleer footage labeled go fast Gimbal and Fleer that is a drone bro I'd like to focus on the gimbal video as shown here which was taken in 2015 off the coast of Florida a targeting pod on an fa18 captured this anomalous object which the pilot said was able to move with no visible repulsion method and stand stationary in severe winds now unfortunately there's a clip in part of this video that has not been Declassified and this is confirmed by the pilots who recorded this video as well as Christopher melan but within the rest of the video this craft revus with a series of other crafts and takes a V formation um that's extremely strange and I would give anything to be able to see that footage but Clowny bunkers like Mick West like to claim that the gimbal video is a bird or a jet moving away from the fa18 and thus is a lens artifact on the Fleer footage I like to trust the eyes of the trained pilots who have recorded these videos not some dude who sits in his basement and tries to debunk every single thing that ever exists on UFOs so very curious video I love this this is a classic all three are classics Area 51 now I'm not going to spend a lot of time on Area 51 because I know all of you have heard of it and I'd like to make a video itself on Area 51 but we'll give a summary Area 51 is the common name for a highly classified US Air Force Base in the Nevada desert near Groom Lake and former nuclear test ranges for decades Area 51 went unacknowledged and was is associated with conspiracies of UFOs and experimental aircrafts in fact Area 51 wasn't officially acknowledged until 2013 where the CIA publicly acknowledged the base through a Freedom of Information Act request many believe that area 51 isn't just home to experimental aircraft tests like the U2 tests and reverse engineering foreign adversaries like the Mig Jets but is also housed for reverse engineering and test flight of UFOs while I don't really want to cover that on this video I will leave you with this pictured on screen is a project patch from Area 51 supplied by Eric Taber Eric Taber is an official UFO whistleblower who submitted a memorandum for record to Arrow the all domain anomaly resolution office that this patch belonged to his great Uncle Sam yurart I'm not sure how to pronounce his name it's a little tough to spell but his great unle divulged to him that while working at Area 51 as a contractor he was privy to learn that the base housed an egg-shaped UFO that was found intact in the Nevada desert it's worth noting that Sam was the head of security for an Engineering Group the radar cross-section training team so it's not wild to think he was privy to some strange information true or not this is extremely interesting as Taber has submitted a legal document to Arrow testifying that this is in fact true so maybe Area 51 has housed UFOs but we'll save that for another time the Nordic aliens are a supposed race of extraterrestrial humanoids who come from the pades system and resemble Nordic Scandinavians the nordics are often taller than regular humans 6 to 7 ft tall have blue eyes fair skin and long blonde hair throughout the 1950s many people alleged to have encounters with the Nordic aliens claiming they were benevolent and magical often caring about humans and the world's Prosperity the nordics were able to communicate with humans via telepathy and possessed a cool calming demeanor that proved to be youthful affectionate and kind the Nordic aliens are part of a Galactic Federation and Traverse the cosmos from their spherical to cigar-shaped crafts interestingly enough if you've heard of the abduction case of Travis Walton a film was made about him called Fire in the Sky I'd recommend checking it out but Travis Walton has a very curious abduction story that has a lot of uh intriguing aspects to it let's just say that and from his testimony when he's taken aboard a UFO craft he encounters several types of beings such as the common graay including a Nordic like race of tall humanoids are the Nordic aliens real I don't know I don't like to focus too much on abduction stories or extraterrestrial races I just like to focus on the fact there is something in our Sky that's of non-human intelligence or multiple things in the sky of non-human intelligence and start there we got a lot to work through before we start deciphering what exactly these things are if they're even extraterrestrials the Grays are the archetypal extraterrestrial and most famous depiction of extraterrestrials ever often just referred to as Grays Grays are typically gray skinned small humanoid beings between 3 and 5 ft tall completely hairless with enlarged heads sometimes a small slit-like mouth sometimes no mouth sometimes just nostrils sometimes no nostrils and large black piercing eyes the Grays often lack muscular definition and have a visible skeletal structure I want to stress with their head size their head is usually comically larger than their body now the gray can possibly be traced all the way back to 1917 where a cultist Alistair Crowley performed a Black Magic Ritual and was able to contact a bean named lamb across space and dimensions but I like to look at the fact the Grays really became popular in the 1947 Roswell crash these were the supposed beings that were found dead or Dying by their crashed craft little bit Northwest of Roswell New Mexico I'd like to make a long video on Roswell because it's fascinating but but also remember Betty and Barney Hill these small humanoid beings match the depiction of Grays as well in fact Grays are so commonly involved with alien abductions Grays make up about 50% of claimed abductions or sightings in Australia 73% in the US 48% in Continental Europe and 12% around the UK there are many interesting theories about what exactly the gray is some of them being the gray are basically biological drones utilized by other extraterrestrial civilizations Grays are often described as emotionless kind of hive-minded and worker bees so this could imply that they're just biological drones Grays sometimes are often associated with future humans as well claiming that as humans evolve we rely Less on our muscles spend more time indoors uh receive more receding hair across our bodies get enlarged eyes from looking at that screens that's interesting to think about too I'm not sure about that I like it but also that Grays are just humanoid figures that evolved on a planet so with somewhat similar conditions to Earth regardless of where they originate the Grays are fascinating and I somewhat believe that some sort of non-human Intelligence on this planet resembles the classic gray Little Green Men I'm not going to spend time on this one especially since little green men are essentially green Grays and the term Little Green Men is often used by politicians to kind of shrug off and make fun of any UAP or UFO sightings um you'll often times see Pentagon conversations or official military talks when talking about UFOs say we found no evidence of Little Green Men so I I just have no interest entertaining this entry I understand I'm getting a little bit pressed about this but yeah I stop here Hoya bashu is essentially the most haunted forest in the world it's nestled in Romania and has many unexplicable and strange phenomena such as UFO sightings I've never heard of this Forest I really don't have much to say about this entry besides apparently in the 1960s there have been UFO sightings in the forest and images taken and lastly we have the 1952 Washington DC UFO incident this Mass sighting of UFOs occurred over the weeks of July 19th to the 20th and July 26th to the 27th of 1952 at 11:40 p.m. on Saturday July 19th 52 Edward nent an air traffic controller at Washington National Airport spotted seven objects on his radar he knew immediately that this was a very strange situation as the crafts moved erratically compared to any normal aircraft nearby two controllers at the national airports radar equipped control tower looked outside and saw a hovering bright light in the sky which departed at incredible speeds at this point other objects appeared in all sections of the radar Scopes and they moved over the White House the US's Capital Jets were scrambled from nearby by Newcastle Air Force basee in Delaware to investigate the six fast moving bright lights over the nation's capital the Jets found no such objects they eventually ran out of fuel and had to return to their bases later on on July 26 1952 the event occurred again where a pilot and stewardess on a National Airlines flight into Washington DC observed erratic moving lights above their aircraft within minutes both radar centers at National Airport and Andrews Air Force Base tracked the objects the occurrence made front page headlines and caused a great deal of concern for president Harry Truman who made personal calls to his Air Force aids to find out what the heck happened as well as garnered much CIA interest in response to this event the Robertson panel was formed to quote strip the unidentified flying objects of their special status they have been given in the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired end quote so the 1952 UFOs over DC directly leads to the decades long stigma around UFOs and this is very interesting and I'll make another video about this well my friends that is layer one to the alien and UFO obscure Oddities Iceberg I hope everybody enjoyed this first layer a ton of interesting entries looking down the list we're going to have a lot more extremely interesting things to cover and I cannot wait remember if you like the video consider tossing out a subscription and a like doesn't cost you nothing and it allows me to make more interesting videos like this so stay tuned friends I'm going to start part two immediately
