SCREWED BY THE ALIENS
True Sexual Encounters With ETs



THE SEXTERRESTRIALS ARE HERE – AND THEY WANT TO MATE WITH YOU!
THEY SAW THAT THEIR DAUGHTERS WERE FAIR AND TOOK THEM AS WIVES – Genesis 6:1-2, 4

The Bible says it in a “civilized way.” But the truth is that since the beginning of time otherworldly entities – no matter how you wish to identify them – have been pillaging and plundering our planet, raping our women, probing our bodies in an ungentlemanly manner, and ostensibly creating a “master race” of alien hybrids by removing the fetuses from artificially inseminated females who have been abducted by UFO occupants around the globe. The aliens then raise the “children” as their own.

The molestation's go on, and, despite the credible nature of a large percentage of such encounters, these sensationalist events are perhaps the most closely guarded secret of the UFOlogical community, for fear that such disclosure will lead to ridicule on the part of skeptics, the scientific community, the media, and a large portion of the general public, who have not been privileged to scrutinize the available data – much of which is presented in the pages of this book for the first time.

THIS IS NOT “FAKE NEWS!” But One Hundred Percent Documented . . .

These are the anal probes, the kidnapping and removal of men, women and couples from the planet for evil, inhuman purposes that often involve molestation and torture.

Some of those abducted have literally been branded and physically scarred for life. “Tattoos” have been placed on their skin, and horrific scratch and claw marks can be found on their chests and stomachs, arms, legs and breasts. Some of these markings can only be seen under florescent lighting; others can be viewed with the naked eye because they are so obvious.

Here are historical as well as some of the most recent cases of copulation with Reptilians, the handsome Nordic “Space Brothers,” the Greys, insectoids, and a host of other intergalactic stalkers – the real invaders from “Mars” – as taken from the files of some of the top researchers of our time. To paraphrase Cindy Lauper’s 80s smash pop single, there are a few space aliens who it seems are coming here because they “just want to have fun!”

The Meaning of it All - Have We All Been Screwed By The Aliens?
By Timothy Green Beckley

I have published what is possibly my most controversial book in more than fifty years.

It deals with sex!!!

Sex – human sexuality – is a subject we are all interested in (or should be) but we seldom associated it with the UFO phenomena for a variety of reasons.

“Secret by the Aliens – True Sexual Encounters with Ets” is hot off the press, it has just been released in the last couple of days and we anticipate that we might have opened a can of worms.

This book’s title has a double meaning. As you turn the pages herein you will see that we have approached the sexual nature of UFOs, their alien occupants, and the reproduction process of the Ultra-terrestrials with an open mind. It’s easy to laugh and guffaw upon reading reports of anal probes and those who claim that they have fathered a rather large family of star children, or who have sex with reptilians just about every Saturday night. We admit to a bit of chuckling from time to time ourselves, but this is potentially a very important aspect of UFO research that for the most part has been neglected.

Part of this neglect has to do with the fact that to some people sex is still a taboo subject that might be offensive to them. But just because something is offensive or not to your liking doesn’t mean that you should ignore it altogether. The phenomenon is not going to go away. So let’s study it and let the chips fall where they may (a very trite statement, but one that immediately comes to mind).  The second meaning, for me at least, is the fact that I sometimes feel I have been “screwed by the aliens.”

Though I have had three UFO sightings, done a million interviews, host my own podcast and published a gazillion books and magazines, I am still at a loss as to what precisely the UFO enigma consists of. We have close encounters, bedroom invaders, abductions, government cover-ups, a cry for disclosure and everything to the far left and the far right. I could have gone out and gotten a regular job, but, no, “they” led me to follow them, to chat them up and to devote my life to understanding their purpose. So, in a sense, yes, I have been “screwed by the aliens.” But, like with sex, it has been a pleasurable experience (for the most part). If I have learned one thing over the years, don’t get wrapped up with one thing in life. Don’t let the aliens screw you.

ONE THING I HAVE LEARNED – AS STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM

It doesn’t matter if you are a man or a woman – you can have sex with an alien. Or at least that’s what the experts say. It’s an entirely new aspect of Exopolitics (the political implications of the Extraterrestrial Presence) that has to be accounted for. Personally, I would not recommend it, but there is no accounting for individual tastes in this “New Age” of sexual liberation and individuality. Some guys, who liken themselves to being real players, groove on the idea that they might be pimping themselves out to some far off – and far out – lady of the night. While gals tell me that they definitely get their best groove on when it comes to feeling the scales of their reptilian mates . . . now that’s a real ribbed condom if you ask me. From what I have been told you can be either part of the population that would like to caress an ET all evening long and perhaps even bat a home run with “him.” Or you can dislike the little bugger immensely and try to shove ‘em away if “he” comes a-calling in the middle of the night.

Your reaction even has a name – oh, yes, it does! If you crave alien sex you definitely are an “Exophiliac.” On the other hand, if you shy away from those greys and want them to keep their six-fingered mitts to themselves, you are a bit harder to classify. Astrophobia is a fear of outer space and everything in it, so that would include ETs. Xenophobia is a fear of anyone from another place. Perhaps we can create our own verbiage to describe this fear – something like Exophobic perhaps?

Hey, there’s always one extreme fetishist in every neighborhood. This time it just happens to be the guy with the big UFO collection, that’s all.

By the way, if you fear the unknown in general (like your mother hates your interest in Bigfoot or Dogman, let’s say) she would have neilasparophobia. In which case you better hide your copy of the “Fortean Times” underneath your mattress next to that soiled copy of “Penthouse” tucked away there from when you were a teenager. . All this according to a Dr. Anil Aggrawal, who teaches Forensic Medicine at the Maulana Azad Medical College, India, and edits a peer-reviewed Internet journal on Paraphilias. Sexual crimes and their medicolegal aspects has been his special area of research for the last 25 years. He lives in New Delhi with his wife and a personal library of over 20,000 books.

And if your prefer to be an armchair UFOlogist, you can still  participate in the world of alien sexual dynamics simply by  reading ample amounts of  literature on the subject, or you can join a UFO group and become part of the ever growing number of UFO sky-watchers worldwide.

Is there an explanation for this connection between UFOs and a healthy libido? Of course, says Nigel Watson, our crony from the UK and contributor to this work of fine paranormal literature and author of such volumes as “The UFO Investigators Manual” and “UFOs of the First World War.” “Perhaps the anxiety and wonder of seeing something exceptional in the sky arouses the witness,” he explains. “Or some might claim that randy aliens are deliberately sending out beams that will stimulate witnesses so that they can have their wicked way with them.”

Of course, Nigel, why hadn’t we thought of that? Watson was quoted in an article in the British “Daily Mirror” as part of an effort to prove the hypothesis that a visit to a UFO hot spot might facilitate a scandalously robust night of alien rubbernecking.  “Panamanians claim they are enjoying close encounters of the stirred kind whenever they see an unidentified flying object,” maintains the widely read, bluecollar tabloid, “with more than a third (37%) admitting to having an immediate desire for sex straight afterwards.”

The “Daily Mirror” points out that, “The Central American country is awash with alien sightings – with an incredible 1 in 16 of the population claiming to have seen a UFO in their lifetimes. A survey by the Cid Gallup company – which appeared in the El Siglo newspaper – said more than a third reported having intense ‘sexual desire’ after the experience.” The survey was conducted in Panama with a sample of 1,200 respondents between June 7th and June 20th, 2012, with a 2.8% margin of error.Nigel Watson reminds us that the concept of mating with Ultra-terrestrials is nothing new, going back centuries, though the breeding process seems to have been revved up at times.

“By the 1980s, alien abduction researchers in the USA accepted that women are routinely abducted, impregnated and then re-abducted a few weeks later for the extraction of the hybrid fetus.” The British journalist will have an opportunity to prove his accusations as we turn the pages of this extensive volume, further contending that, “These activities explained the short-lived pregnancies experienced by female abductees. As for male abductees, they either claimed to have had intercourse with an alien woman or their sperm was extracted by mechanical means by the aliens.” Theorizing further for the “Daily Mirror,”

Nigel was quoted as saying: “There have been various claims over the years that aliens are visiting Planet Earth to copulate or probe human beings in a sexual context. In his book ‘Communion,’ Whitley Strieber famously described being abducted by aliens who inserted a one-foot long anal probe inside him. It seemed to be a living entity, so when it was taken out he was surprised to see it was a mechanical device. The case of Antonio Villas Boas is also outstanding. He claimed in 1957 that he was dragged inside a flying saucer and forced to have sexual intercourse with a beautiful alien woman. When he left, she pointed at her stomach, at him and then at the sky, implying she would have his child somewhere in outer space.”


We will be hearing much more about the very famous Antonio Boas incident in a volume that comes in over 325 pages.

I think we have done quite a bit to break through the wall of confusion that persists to this day on this very strange topic.

Stay well and away from the bad guys who chances are come from Uranus!

Microwave Attacks and Marian Apparitions
By Red Pill Junkie

I’ve been a news admin for The Daily Grail for more than 10 years –I get a golden watch when I retire, right Greg?– and yet it seems that, when it comes to the amount of weird news, 2018 is going to take the cake.

Without a doubt, among the top head-scratching news that took the centerfold this year –even though it actually started in 2016– is the unfolding story regarding the alleged brain trauma suffered by several members of the US diplomatic mission in Cuba. The media started reporting it as a “sonic attack” due to the noises reported by the victims, but eventually the idea of a ‘sonic weapon’ capable of inflicting actual physical (and PERMANENT) injuries from a distance, seemed implausible to the investigators and skeptics who looked into the case.

Things got even stranger, though, when similar symptoms were reported by US diplomats in China, which discarded the possibility of a freakish natural occurrence.

Now the latest update on this bizarre saga comes from The New York Times, which interviewed Douglas H. Smith, the lead author in the medical report that investigated the cases, and wrote a lengthy report on the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) last March. What’s interesting is that, according to Smith, microwave radiation was now considered a prime suspect for the effects suffered by the diplomats, and that they had indeed suffered from brain injury so severe, it was akin to a direct blow to the head.

    “Everybody was relatively skeptical at first,” he said, “and everyone now agrees there’s something there.” Dr. Smith remarked that the diplomats and doctors jokingly refer to the trauma as the immaculate concussion [emphasis mine].

So now the investigating team is looking into the work of Allan H. Frey, an American scientist who was experimenting with the biological effects of microwaves in the 1960’s, and discovered that direct beams focused at the human head –specifically, the temporal lobe— could create rather strange effects, including the sensation of hearing noises and indeterminate buzzings:

    "The false sensations, the experts say, may account for a defining symptom of the diplomatic incidents — the perception of loud noises, including ringing, buzzing and grinding. Initially, experts cited those symptoms as evidence of stealthy attacks with sonic weapons.

    "Members of Jason, a secretive group of elite scientists that helps the federal government assess new threats to national security, say it has been scrutinizing the diplomatic mystery this summer and weighing possible explanations, including microwaves."

Maybe it was the evocative term —‘immaculate concussion’– what rattled *my* own head, but this new development reminded me of one of my favorite UFO-related books of all time: Heavenly Lights, by Joaquim Fernandes and Fina D’Armada, who researched one of the most important paranormal events in modern history — the Fátima apparitions.

Fernandes and D’Armada were the first non-religious academicians who got access to the original records –kept at the Fátima parish– of the canonical investigation conducted by the Catholic church of the events that occurred in 1917 after the mysterious events at Cova da Iria got a world-wide attention, due to the momentous ‘dance of the Sun’ massive sighting of unexplained atmospheric phenomena, witnessed by thousands of individuals of all walks of life –many atheists who attended the forewarned apparition to mock the ‘credulous peasants’, were reported to go on their knees and frantically confess their sins, at the bewildering sighting of a multi-colored disk which approached the ground in the typical ‘falling leaf’ motion which would become a familiar element in future UFO sightings.

Heavenly Lights stripped away Fátima from all religious connotations, and look at it from a UFOlogical perspective instead (which could be interpreted as another religious connotation, but that’s for another discussion) and the many parallels between Marian apparitions and ‘secular’ close encounters of the third kind –unexplained illuminations, atmospheric phenomena, ‘angel hair’, etc ; they looked at the accounts of the three main protagonists of the Marian apparitions (Lucia dos Santos and her two younger cousins, Jacinta and Francisco Marto) who claimed to be in contact with a small, female non-human entity which was later recognized as the Virgin Mary by ecclesiastical authorities –atheists and skeptics BTW will be surprised to know that, originally, the Church wanted no part in the Fatima story, and it was many years until they decided to ‘appropriate’ Fatima for their purposes; something the authors of Heavenly Lights approached in a sequel, Celestial Secrets.

But getting back to the accounts of the little shepherd visionaries, of the three it was only Lucia (the eldest) the only one who claimed to actually understand the voice of ‘the Lady from Heaven’; the other two told the church authorities to hear her voice, but they didn’t understand most of what it was communicated to them. When news of the apparition got around the little Portuguese own, and more and more people started to gather around Cova da Iria at the appointed time when the Lady promised to return (always on the 13th of the month) none of the other witnesses claimed to see the apparition; what they reported instead, though, was hearing a buzzing like bees…

Fernandes and D’Armada took note of this particularly interesting detail, and the fact that it is also found in plenty of UFOlogical records –as well as other paranormal phenomena, as our own Greg Taylor aptly reported in one of his essays for the Darklore anthology– and proposed the tentative theory that it could be the result of microwave radiation. In their book they did not cite the work of Frey, but referenced instead the experiments conducted at the Canadian Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineering by James C. Lin, Sergio Sales-Cunha, Joseph Battocletti and Anthony Sances (published under the title, “The Auditory Microwave Phenomenon.”):

    "The studies showed that individuals perceived buzzing types of noises or pops within the head, when subjected to microwave radiation between 200 and 300 Mhz."

The recent NYT article mentioned how the both the Americans and the Soviets have attempted to exploit these sort of findings, and weaponize them in order to make people ‘hear voices inside their head’ for psychological warfare purposes. Did they finally succeed? And if so, did someone try to use this hypothetical technology against American representatives abroad?

[Addendum: One thing to keep in mind is that the diplomats who suffered the injuries reported that they noticed the strange sounds in a very focalized manner –E.g. when they were lying on their beds– but as soon as they got up and moved to another spot in the room, the sounds stopped]

Heavenly Lights’ greatest virtue also happens to be its biggest flaw: The authors tried to propose non-supernatural explanations (perhaps too hard) for the unexplained phenomena reported at Fátima, and sought to change the golden patina of religious reverie with the silver sheen of the UFO mythos. Whereas their microwave hypothesis is certainly worthy of note, it doesn’t necessarily mean it was the result of an alien’s ‘beam transmission’ –the radiation could very well have a natural origin. To their credit, later in their work they did explore the ‘telluric’ properties of Cova da Iria and other locations of Marian apparitions, which unsurprisingly coincide with so-called ‘ley lines’ (currents of energy criss-crossing the land where many ancient megalithic sites were erected).

Even though neither the New York Times (nor me) pretend to propose an actual culprit for the harm suffered by the American diplomats –though it doesn’t sound preposterous to start pointing the finger toward the Kremlin— this new development does raise a set of new interesting questions, for us students of anomalous phenomena: Will we later learn that among the victims of this alleged microwave, that a few of them experienced ‘visionary-type experiences’ like premonitions or ‘prophetic’ dreams?

And also, what would have happened if someone had chosen to perform autopsies to young Jacinta and Francisco, who both suffered untimely ends a few years after the Fátima apparitions? Their deaths are historically attributed to the 1918 influenza epidemic that struck Portugal and the rest of Europe; but one wonders if a forensic examination would have also found in their little brains, injuries resemblant to the ones discovered by Smith and their medical team in their JAMA report.

As always in the Fortean game, for every answer found, 2 more questions appear out of thin air.

Strange Creature Spotted Swimming in the River Tyne

An odd piece of footage out of England seemingly shows some kind of sea serpent swimming in the famed River Tyne. Kevin Burton was enjoying his morning coffee on a pier in the town of Tynemouth in early August when he spotted the mysterious creature.

Puzzled by what he was watching in the water, the curious witness fortunately managed to capture some footage of the perplexing scene and posted it to YouTube, joking that perhaps he'd had the first sighting of the Loch Ness Monster outside of Scotland.

Burton's video features a long, dark object emerging from the water and then dipping below the surface with only a small portion of the anomaly visible. It then appears to briefly resurface and swim along the river before finally vanishing for good.

The footage is made somewhat remarkable by the fact that it provides a fairly clear glimpse of the anomaly for a rather long period of time.

Despite those promising characteristics, the video has proven to be difficult to decipher when it comes to determining what the potential creature may have been.

Dr. Per Berggren - senior lecturer at the Marine School of Natural & Environmental Sciences at Newcastle University - took a look at the video and speculated it could be an eel.

“It is a bit difficult to tell from the video due to the quality. The most exciting option would be a conger eel which can grow to a maximum 3m length.

“But it is difficult to be sure from the video clip. Alternatively it may be a piece of kelp being moved in an eel-like way by tidal current.”

As for the river, it was once universally known as the Coaly Tyne. The exports down the river from the region’s coalfields, and every other kind of industry from shipyards to factories crammed on to the banks, meant little wildlife could survive in the lower reaches of the great waterway.

Add the raw sewage from a growing population, and the Tyne was a dead river for miles.

Then direct discharges into the river were tackled with the Tyneside Sewerage Interceptor Scheme which directed waste to Northumbrian Water’s Howdon treatment plant.

The demise of heavy industry along the riverside also added to the dramatic improvement in water quality.

By 1960, no salmon were caught in the polluted Tyne.

But salmon and migratory sea trout are back big style to the extent that the Tyne is now reckoned to be the best river in England and Wales for rod catches.

Water Tank Mysteriously Drained in Cattle Mutilation Area

*** Days ago we reported an unexplained cattle mutilation event in Lot 6, La Pampa, Argentina, but this would not be the only mystery ***

We visited the area for a closer look at the events with the affected livestock farmer. He not only confirmed the event, but added information as to the events that transpired on the mysterious evening of Sunday, September 2.

Both the owner and the farmhand were on the property on Saturday the 1st in the afternoon, ascertaining that all was in good order. Upon returning to the property on Monday at three o'clock in the morning, they found the cattle thirsty and the 30,000 liter water tank completely drained.

What was striking was the absence of puddles in the surrounding, and the tank was found to be perfectly sound, to the extent that it was promptly refilled and no further losses have occurred.

The mystery is heightened by the coincidence in time with the cattle mutilation event that occurred on the same field. All points to the event occurring that same night.

On Tuesday, September 4, a mutilated head of cattle was found in Parera, some 10 kilometers northwest of our town.

According to the livestock farmer, who owns the property at Lot 6, the animal was standing and in good health as of Sunday the 2nd in the afternoon.

This leads us to suppose that the unfortunate animal's demise took place between Sunday night and the early hours of Tuesday.

Oddly, the signs of "mutilation" on this animal are only on its jaw and tongue. The remainder of the carcass is intact.

The jawbones are denuded of all flesh and blood, as if a long time had elapsed from the phenomenon's occurrence. This is not the first case to take place in our area. Quite the contrary, similarly inexplicable situations abound.

Note: Water-draining incidents were commonplace during the 2002 cattle mutilation wave in Argentina and even earlier. Drainage of tanks has been associated with UFO activity, as these objects have been seen drawing water from tanks, lakes and rivers (Australia's Gosford Lake incident of 1994 is a good example).

- SABOTAGE OR NOT DEPARTMENT -

Who Caused The Mysterious Leak At The Space Station?
By Merrit Kennedy & Nell Greenfieldboyce

Russian officials are saying that a tiny leak at the International Space Station was likely caused by a human hand. Now, they're trying to figure out who did it, why they did it and whether it happened in space or on the ground.

The crew identified the source of the leak as a 2-millimeter hole in the upper section of a Soyuz MS-09 spacecraft, which is docked in the Russian section of the space station.

"We don't reject any theories," said Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia's state space agency Roscosmos, according to state news agency TASS. He added that they're aiming "to find out whether it was an accidental defect or a deliberate spoilage and where it was done ... we will find out, without fail."

And while Rogozin said they aren't ruling out the possibility of sabotage, an accident seems more likely: "It seems to be done by a faltering hand... it is a technological error by a specialist."

Rogozin added that they have dismissed a theory that the hole was caused by a meteorite.

No one aboard the space station was in significant danger as a result of the leak, which was detected last Wednesday evening by flight controllers.

The crew first addressed the problem by applying tape to the hole, according to NASA, and later, Russian flight engineer Sergey Prokopyev plugged the hole using gauze and epoxy, a super-strong sealant.

A Russian cosmonautics expert, Alexander Zheleznyakov, was extremely skeptical of theories that the hole was drilled deliberately from space.

"Why should any of the crew try to do that? I would not like to use the word nonsense, but all this does not fit in well with logic," Zheleznyakov told TASS.

He offered another possibility: "Most probably all had happened at the manufacturer's plant. A hole that has been patched up with glue is hard to detect. ... Most probably, a worker drilled a wrong hole and then patched it up and then either avoided telling anyone or those he had informed preferred to keep quiet, too."

The Soyuz spacecraft was made by the Russian corporation Energia, according to TASS. The International Space Station is currently hosting three NASA astronauts, two Russian cosmonauts and one European Space Agency astronaut.

John Logsdon, a space policy expert at George Washington University, told NPR that there is "a kind of generalized concern about the decline of quality control in Russian space industry in recent years." If the hole was accidental, he said, "and then covered up and nobody inspected and found it ... that's troubling."

Roscosmos has appointed a commission to investigate and expects its work to be done by mid-September.

Leroy Chiao, former commander of the International Space Station, told NPR that he finds it somewhat mysterious that the hole appears to be hand-drilled through the material that's about half an inch thick. "It would take a little while to drill all the way through the hole," he said.

Chiao recalled how the astronauts were vigilant during his expedition about anything that might cause a drop in pressure, like this leak did. "Pressure dips are certainly not a routine thing," he said.

"So as soon as we hear a noise, we would rush over to the very sensitive pressure gauge to make sure that the pressure was holding," Chiao said. "That was definitely something that we were attuned to."

- THE TRUTH IS HERE DEPARTMENT -

Former NASA Scientist Calls for More Studies on UFOs

Although there is no concrete scientific evidence of aliens, a physics professor and ex-NASA scientist believes that the truth is out there and scientists should study it.

Why Should We Scientifically Study UFOs?

On June 28, a former NASA scientist published an article calling for the scientific community to thoroughly examine evidence of UFOs on Earth. The article was published just a few days before July 2, which is World UFO Day.

Kevin Knuth, a physics professor at the State University of New York at Albany, describes two personal stories about the speculation of extraterrestrials. The first came at a 2002 NASA conference.

"You have absolutely no idea what is out there!" a participant said.

The second story occurred when Knuth was a graduate student in 1988. When his physics professor said that UFOs were shooting down nuclear missiles from the Air Force, Knuth didn't believe it. Years later, he saw a recording of a press conference with Air Force officials describing occurrences just like that.

Dealing With Alien Skeptics

Knuth believes that there is a good chance there are aliens and there is some evidence to support this theory. He estimates that there could potentially be as many as tens of thousands of intelligent civilizations in the galaxy.

Despite the age of the galaxy, there is largely no disputed evidence of an encounter with UFOs. Knuth is convinced that this information has been covered up by many governments and that there are enough pieces of evidence that should open a scientific study.

He says that the topic of UFOs is considered taboo in the scientific community, with many organizations finding excuses for various UFO sightings. For example, there are times when the weather or human activities are excuses for aliens sightings. The result is that UFOs are largely not included as a possibility for scientific study and discussions.

"I think UFO skepticism has become something of a religion with an agenda, discounting the possibility of extraterrestrials without scientific evidence, while often providing silly hypotheses describing only one or two aspects of a UFO encounter reinforcing the popular belief that there is a conspiracy," Knuth wrote in The Conversation.

He also said that the skeptics "often do science a disservice" because scientists need to consider all possible outcomes that explain data.

Declassified Past UFO Cases

Knuth says there have been documented cases of UFO sightings, including through telescopes. He said that sightings go all the way back to the 1700s. In 2017, the Chilean government released footage of a UFO.

He also said that numerous countries have declassified UFO files, including Canada, France, Ecuador, and the United Kingdom. There are cases where the United States even funded alien probes, but some findings have not been declassified yet. Knuth argues that these cases should encourage scientific research.

"While there is no single case for which there exists evidence that would stand up to scientific rigor, there are cases with simultaneous observations by multiple reliable witnesses, along with radar returns and photographic evidence revealing patterns of activity that are compelling," he wrote.
