Grand Lake is approximately 40 km east of Fredericton and is popular for recreation with locals, with several beaches and cottages on its shores. It is also adjacent to the second largest military base in Canada: CFB Gagetown covers an area over 1,100 sq. km in southwestern New Brunswick.
The following is a letter that was published in the Fredericton Daily Gleaner, Sept. 7, 2007, p. B 7.

“We were at Douglas Harbour, Grand Lake, near Princess Park, last Sunday where seven of us spent most of the afternoon and evening. After a late dinner, we set up a fire on the beach and enjoyed watching many small displays of fireworks around the lake. After the fireworks, at around 10:50 p.m., we were walking on the beach with a tripod and a powerful pair of binoculars to reach an area behind the trees where we could see the moon.
Before we got there, I spotted a bright white light moving quite rapidly, west to east [correction: south to north] (right to left from our location) and, for a moment, I thought it was a fast car on a highway.
It was moving very fast and quite smoothly, not like anything we would see on water.
It made no noise whatsoever. All we heard was the noise of the waves gently hitting the beach.
The object was quite far, perhaps a mile or a mile and half away and moving rapidly.
At one point, three lights lit up ahead of the first light we saw, perhaps for three seconds or so.
This would indicate that the first light was at the rear of the object.
The object disappeared behind the trees to the west [northeast]. We tried to catch up to see where it was going but we lost it.
We had spent most of the afternoon and evening on the beach watching all kinds of power boats and sail boats.
I have considerable experience watching airplanes and estimate the speed of this craft to be well over 100 mph - perhaps 200 mph or more.
It had to be hovering over the water, as there were some pretty good waves and nothing would go this fast on the surface of the water. It made no sound whatsoever.
I e-mailed a friend who has a cottage across the lake near Whites Cove - four miles across the water from us - and asked if he had seen anything unusual that evening.
Later, he contacted me to tell me that some of his relatives, a few doors away, had witnessed something totally unbelievable.
When they went out to watch the fireworks around 10:15 p.m., about 100 feet in front of their cottage (itself about 75 feet from the shore), just below the surface of the water, an object about 80 to 90 feet in length [and 20 feet in diameter] was clearly visible.
It was cigar-shaped and the bottom of the craft was brightly lit. They kept an eye on the object while watching the fireworks for about 30 minutes and then went inside. By that time it was about 10:45 p.m.
About seven minutes later we saw what, we believe, was the same object fly close to the water in front of us.
I would like to hear from other people who may have witnessed this incident.

FOLLOW-UP
The letter generated several replies but none were as interesting as a chance encounter with one of the Grand Lake former residents, in late 2011. As is commonly the case with people who witnessed UFO sightings, very few (about 10% according to Fredericton resident Stanton Friedman (1934-2019) are willing to discuss their experience publicly. As far back as the 1947 Roswell UFO incident in New Mexico, MSM (Main Stream Media) has been instructed by government agencies to either ignore or at the very least ridicule UFO reports. For a long time this kind of disinformation campaign worked successfully in stigmatizing anything that was not the powers-that-shouldn't-be's official version of events. Thanks to the internet and the alternative media, this sorry state of affairs is improving but there are many people who still don't want to be associated with any kind of “conspiracy theory.”
At any rate, a third group of witnesses were contacted in late 2011. The following map shows, with green arrows, where they were located.
Further investigation led to a witness who casually explained that it was probably “one of their experimental machines,” in reference to the CFB Gagetown military base which happens to be adjacent to Grand Lake:
“ONE OF THEIR EXPERIMENTAL MACHINES?!”
This statement did not fall on deaf ears. A bit more research turns up some interesting characters such as Wilbert Smith and Paul Hellyer. Cigar-shaped UFOs going into and out of the water are unusual but have been documented in the Canadian UFO Survey and MUFON (Mutual UFO Network).
In 1963 Paul Hellyer became Minister of National Defence in the cabinet of Lester B. Pearson. He oversaw the integration and unification of the Royal Canadian Navy, Canadian Army and the Royal Canadian Air Force into a single organization, the Canadian Forces. Although he received sightings reports from time to time he never paid serious attention to UFOs until 2003. See his lecture at the 2008 4th X-Conference in 2008. Mr. Hellyer is not a fan of fracking and tar sands.

OTHER UFO AND USO REPORTS IN THE SAME AREA
Water-related UFOs are sometimes referred to as USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects). For more on this see Carl Feindt's Water UFOs. and this recent book about Russian USOs. The MUFON database has two interesting reports regarding an incident that was witnessed during the summer of 1992 by US Army reservists who went to CFB-Gagetown for a two week training mission. The reports were submitted many years after the event, which explains a discrepancy between the actual dates of the sighting. The earlier report, submitted 2008-01-15, dates the event to 1992-07-01 and includes an illustration:
"On the night of this event, I was assigned to guard one of our ammunition depots. I was one of four people, each assigned to guard a different ammo dump. It was a two hour shift beginning at 11:00pm... Perhaps I caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of my eye because at that moment I turned my head 45 degrees to the right and saw a large object rising from beyond a tree line 200 yards away, possibly from beneath the waters of a large pond we had been bathing in that week. In the bright moonlight I could clearly see it was long, mostly flat, and cylindrical, and had three large lights on its right side which wrapped around the object like the windows on the bridge of a freighter ship."
The more recent report, submitted 2011-04-25, dates the event to 1992-06-01:
In the bright moonlight, I could clearly see the entire craft, which was longer than a 747 or C-130, possibly oval or round, and tapered towards the tail. There were three sets of lights in a 120 degree arc around the front of the craft, which appeared to be windows, but may have been headlights.
I was paralyzed with fright and tried not to move, lest be seen. I slowly turned my head to watch the craft pass by. I watched it until it had gradually disappeared over the treeline.
After it had passed, I could hear the faint static-like sound of a jet-type engine, however the craft moved far too slowly to be a jet and the sound was barely audible, unlike a jet. There were no runways, where it took off - it had to come out of the lake or another clearing past the trees. Having seen many helicopters throughout my training, and ridden in them, I can say without equivocation this was no helicopter. With the bright moonlight, there is no doubt in my mind this was neither a commercial nor military craft known to the public, even now, nearly 20 years later."
The location and similarity, i.e., “cylindrical,” “beneath the waters” and “three large lights” are uncanny.
THE SHAG HARBOUR INCIDENT OF 1967
One of the best known UFO events in the world happened in nearby Nova Scotia in the fall of 1967. It has been the subject of many documentaries on the History Channel and elsewhere. The most recent book on the subject is by one of the witnesses, Chris Styles, and Graham Simms: Impact to Contact: The Shag Harbour Incident. An earlier book was written by Don Ledger, Chris Styles and Whitley Strieber in 2001: Dark Object: The World's Only Government-Documented UFO Crash.
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT LIGHTS IN THE SKY. IT'S ABOUT LIES ON THE GROUND
After more research it became obvious that approximately 90% of all reported UFOs are actually Alien Reproduction Vehicles (ARVs), reversed-engineered mostly from the Roswell crash of 1947 and the Kingman, AZ crash of 1953. More on this here (ARV documentary), here (SIRIUS documentary trailer) and here (2008 SIRIUS documentary).
A more recent version (2014) of Dr. Greer's SIRIUS documentary can be viewed for free here. His
most recent documentary, UNACKNOWLEDGED (2017), is available on iTunes and other popular
platforms. Trailer here. There is also a book version with a lot of information that is not contained in
the movie.
According to one whistleblower, by 1974 the US government had enough man-made ARVs to create a false flag operation that would have “invaded” major capital cities around the world and would have fooled the population into believing that they were being attacked by aliens from outer space. This would have been used as a pretext to create a New World Order. See here at 00:26 minutes.
SECRET PROJECTS AT MCDONNELL DOUGLAS
Dr. Robert Wood worked in a senior capacity as an aerospace engineer at McDonnell Douglas (merged with Boeing in 1997) for his entire 43-year career. In his testimony, he states that he was involved in a specific project at McDonnell Douglas to study the propulsion systems of UFOs. In addition, he confirms the existence of other projects within the aerospace industry, and gives his assessment of the fact that this subject is not only real, but is of extraterrestrial nature. He also confirms the extreme secrecy surrounding the subject. Of particular interest in this interview:
16:20: “So he gave us $20,000 to study … remote viewing covertly, in the vault … the net result was that I had become familiar with yet another corner of anomalies, namely the psychic … so I added together what I knew about UFOs and the psychic stuff and figured they were all inter-connected. And if you get one set of the equations you’re gonna get the other. And Hal Puthoff and I were in agreement with that.”
Wood comes across as perfectly honest, with interesting anecdotes regarding Carl Sagan (@3:30 very interesting!), Jim McDonald (“suicided” in 1971), and Hal Puthoff when he was working at SRI (Stanford Research Institute) that later funded the Monroe Institute where the CIA had their spies trained in OBE and remote viewing.
Though not mentioned in this interview, McDonnell Douglas was not “in on it” with the production of ARVs which were probably produced exclusively by Lockheed Martin at that time.
FAMOUS FOR A BOOK HE DID NOT WRITE: COL. PHILIP CORSO
Col. Philip Corso is famous for a book he did not actually write: The Day After Roswell (1998).
According to his son, he was extremely upset when the book came out. Quoting from the Open Minds Production press release of May 23, 2010:
Colonel Philip James Corso was a high-ranking American intelligence officer who devoted his life to
serving his country. In 2003, Corso’s hand-written notes regarding his involvement with UFOs and
extraterrestrials while serving in the army was published in Italy under the title “L’Alba di una Nuova Era (Dawn of a New Age).” In the 175-page manuscript, Corso discusses the facts of what happened between 1961 and 1963 while he was responsible for the army’s Foreign Technology desk for the Research and Development department. At the Pentagon in Washington, DC, his superior, General Arthur Trudeau had appointed Corso responsible for the alleged alien artifacts in the “Roswell Files,” with the assignment to study them and determine how they could be applied to the fields of weaponry and military equipment.
His original English language manuscript is available for free here.
BILL UHOUSE - RE-ENGINEERING AN ET CRAFT
Bill Uhouse was a retired flight simulator mechanical engineer specializing in avionics. Bill Uhouse claimed to have been part of a team who worked on flight simulators to train human pilots to fly alien craft. Uhouse's claims had remarkable internal consistency, were limited in scope to what he actually "saw" and had no obvious personal motivation.
His most astonishing claims concern his work on flight simulators from 1954 onwards. He got a job with the Air Force at Wright Patterson where he was involved in experimental flight-testing on various modifications of aircraft. Uhouse was interviewed in 2000. The simulator ARV (Alien Reproduction Vehicle) on which he worked would have been re-engineered from the UFO that crashed in Kingman, Arizona in 1953. Here is Michael Schratt’s depiction of this craft.

THE PHOENIX LIGHTS: 10,000 WITNESSES ARE HARD TO IGNORE
In March 1997 an unidentified flying object the size of several football fields (some said one mile or more) flew silently over Phoenix, Arizona for a period of 106 minutes. The following illustration, from Massimo Mazzucco's UFOs and the Military Elite documentary, provides a good idea of the size of this UFO.
Approximately 10,000 people witnessed the incident, making it the biggest mass sighting to date. Many documentaries have covered this event including this one from History.com (15:27) and this one (1:23:48). YouTube has many more documentaries available.
BEN RICH AND LOCKHEED MARTIN’S SKUNK WORKS
No serious discussions about UFOs would be complete without mentioning the work of Ben Rich
(1925-1995), second director of Lockheed’s Skunk Works, one of the most top-secret military
contractors.
There is no shortage of information and disinformation on Ben Rich but this source seems reliable at 45:00:
CAROL ROSIN AND VON BRAUN'S LEGACY
Carol Rosin was the first female Corporate Manager of Fairchild Industries in the 1970's. She worked closely with Wernher Von Braun (1912-1977) shortly before his death, specifically on the subject of space based weapons. From her lecture, Von Braun was already aware of the long term plans of the Military Industrial Complex, as predicted by Eisenhower during his famous exit speech in 1961. Von Braun knew that to keep the MIC healthy and powerful a list of "enemies" had to exist and if they didn't exist they had to be fabricated. Namely:
1-The Russian threat, i.e., the cold war.
2-By 1977, plans were in place to create "terrorists" by antagonizing peoples in the Middle East. This has been confirmed by whistleblowers in recent years. [Nothing was said of false-flag operations, e.g., Operation Northwoods, 9/11, etc.]
3-"Third world crazies" and Nations of concern. E.g., Libya, North Korea?
4-Asteroids threats would need the production of space weapons. [Hollywood helping with the propaganda as usual].
5-An invasion of the planet by aliens would be the last card. Again, Hollywood was put to work.
All of the above was a lie to be used as a pretext to create a New World Order. Many copies of the Carol Rosin testimony (among others) have been removed from YouTube. It is recommended that serious researchers download their own copies of anything controversial for future reference. It is also worth noting that in her interview above, she describes (31:20) that she could hear Von Braun dictate to her in her left ear as if he was talking on a telephone but she had nothing in her ear. This technology is known as psychotronics, or synthetic telepathy, by the Pentagon. They had this operating in the 1970s and Von Braun refers to this @28:30. Imagine what they can do now, 30+ years later...
THE WHITE HOUSE'S OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO THE UFO PHENOMENON (2011)
“No evidence yet” is the official response to a petition signed by 12,092 Americans posted on the White House's web site September 22, 2011.
OBAMA ADVISER JOHN PODESTA'S BIGGEST REGRET: KEEPING AMERICA IN THE DARK ABOUT UFOs. (2015)
February 13, 2015. Click here for original article on Yahoo News.
Outgoing senior Obama adviser John Podesta reflected on his latest White House stint Friday, listing his favorite moments and biggest regrets from the past year. Chief among them: depriving the American people of the truth about UFOs.
Podesta’s longtime fascination with UFOs is well-documented, as his brief political hiatus following four years as President Bill Clinton’s chief of staff freed him up to pursue his otherworldly passion.
At a 2002 press conference organized by the Coalition for Freedom of Information, Podesta spoke on the importance of disclosing government UFO investigations to the public.
“It’s time to find out what the truth really is that’s out there,” he said. “We ought to do it, really, because it’s right. We ought to do it, quite frankly, because the American people can handle the truth. And we ought to do it because it’s the law.”
Shortly after this announcement, the following appeared on Dr. Greer’s UFO Disclosure web site:
Dr. Steven Greer is now confirming for the very first time that it was John Podesta to whom he provided the extensive briefing on UFOs shortly after President Obama took office in 2009 (see cover letter to President Obama (http://siriusdisclosure.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/obama-briefing-introduction.pdf).
Dr. Greer states: “An attorney working with Mr. Podesta requested the briefing and we assembled an extensive file for Mr. Podesta to provide to the newly- elected President Obama. There was also support for this process from a senior CIA official who is friendly to Disclosure and the briefing was also provided to then-CIA Director Leon Panetta . Mr. Podesta came out publicly in support of Disclosure the year after the historic 2001 National Press Club Disclosure Project event, organized by Dr. Greer.
Dr. Greer continues, “We are encouraged that Mr. Podesta remains a stalwart supporter of Disclosure and we continue to advocate for the release of illegally classified information and technology related to UFOs.”

LAURA MERSINI-HOUGHTON: HOW TO FIND A MULTIVERSE
Theoretical physicist from University of North Carolina Laura Mersini-Houghton reveals how the latest snapshots from the Planck satellite yield evidence for parallel universes. See YouTube for more on this subject.
CAN WE GET THERE FROM HERE?
The term noetic sciences was first coined in 1973 when the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was founded by Apollo 14 astronaut Edgar Mitchell, who two years earlier became the sixth man to walk on the moon. Ironically, it was the trip back home that Mitchell recalls most, during which he felt a profound sense of universal connectedness—what he later described as a samadhi experience. In Mitchell’s own words, “The presence of divinity became almost palpable, and I knew that life in the universe was not just an accident based on random processes. . . . The knowledge came to me directly.”
It led him to conclude that reality is more complex, subtle, and mysterious than conventional science had led him to believe. Perhaps a deeper understanding of consciousness (inner space) could lead to a new and expanded understanding of reality in which objective and subjective, outer and inner, are understood as co-equal aspects of the miracle of being. It was this intersection of knowledge systems that led Dr. Mitchell to launch the interdisciplinary field of noetic sciences.

Many scientists believe that it may be possible to visit parallel worlds through meditation such as practiced by shamans and buddhists (among others) for thousands of years. DMT (dimethyltryptamine), often referred to as “the spirit molecule” is a compound produced by the pineal gland but also found in animals and some plants. It may be the chemical that is responsible for near-death experiences (NDE) and astral projections, also known as out-of-body experiences (OBEs). Documentaries on the study of DMT include “DMT: The Spirit Molecule - The DMT Experience” (12:58) and DMT [Dimethyltryptamine] - A Spiritual Journey Of The Mind (49:42)
There are over 200 books on out-of-body experiences. Several are reviewed by Bob Peterson here. His top ten list is here. The author of this blog has experienced a dozen OBEs. One of the most respected investigators in this field is Jurgen Ziewe, whose work can be seen here and here.
THE QUEST TO FREE UP FREE ENERGY
Fossil fuel technologies (coal, gas, oil) have probably been obsolete since the 1960s but they, along with nuclear technology, represent a multi-trillion dollar industry with a powerful lobby and a U.S. government that wants to maintain the petrodollar. The telephone killed the telegram. Land line telephones are being replaced by mobile phones. Multi-billion dollar industries can disappear quickly. The once giant Kodak went bankrupt in 2012, eight years after Polaroid Corporation filed for bankruptcy. Big Oil is not anxious to become the next dinosaur but the writing is on the wall. The heirs to the Rockefeller oil fortune withdrew their funds from fossil fuels investments over climate change in recent years and several countries have announced that the days of the combustion engines to power our automobiles are numbered. These include France, Germany, India, Norway, etc.
THERE IS NOTHING MORE POWERFUL THAN AN IDEA WHOSE TIME HAS COME
This well known quote by Victor Hugo could not be truer today. Thousands of patents have been seized over the years and many more inventions and their inventors (pdf) have been suppressed.
The demand for clean, off-grid energy is at an all-time high. Researchers and new companies around the world are working day and night to come up with products that will provide a safe environment. The world will be a safer place to be when we no longer need hydrocarbons to heat our homes and drive our cars. This is now achievable but...
SADLY, IT IS ILLEGAL TO IMPROVE GREEN TECHNOLOGIES
Most people are not aware of this but for all practical purposes, under the pretext of “national security,” it is illegal in the U.S., to invent or improve technologies that would threaten existing fossil fuel industries. Quoting from the Federation of American Scientists:
There were 5,135 inventions that were under secrecy orders at the end of Fiscal Year 2010, the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office told Secrecy News last week. It’s a 1% rise over the year before, and the highest total in more than a decade.
Under the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951, patent applications on new inventions can be subject to secrecy orders restricting their publication if government agencies believe that disclosure would be “detrimental to the national security.”
The current list of technology areas that is used to screen patent applications for possible restriction under the Invention Secrecy Act is not publicly available and has been denied under the Freedom of Information Act. (An appeal is pending.) But a previous list dated 1971 and obtained by researcher Michael Ravnitzky is available here (pdf).
Most of the listed technology areas are closely related to military applications. But some of them range more widely.
Thus, the 1971 list (pdf) indicates that patents for solar photovoltaic generators were subject to review and possible restriction if the photovoltaics were more than 20% efficient. Energy conversion systems were likewise subject to review and possible restriction if they offered conversion efficiencies “in excess of 70-80%.”
One may fairly ask if disclosure of such technologies could really have been “detrimental to the national security,” or whether the opposite would be closer to the truth. One may further ask what comparable advances in technology may be subject to restriction and non-disclosure today. But no answers are forthcoming, and the invention secrecy system persists with no discernible external review.

THE MISSING TRILLIONS
A sarcastic look at the official story can be found here
Physicists tell us that UFOs (aka ARVs, or Alien Reproduction Vehicles) are using “free” energy. This may be true but the ARVs themselves are not free. At the very least it must have cost billions if not trillions of dollars over the years to re-engineer crashed UFOs, and improve them.
It is a known fact that the Pentagon has the habit of losing trillions of dollars and many people suspect that a significant part of that money ends up in black projects such as secret weapons and UFOs.
