A mysterious UFO has been allegedly stored at a little-known US Navy base on the East Coast for decades as the military continues to reverse-engineer its secrets. A new report has claimed that Naval Air Station Patuxent River in Maryland, better known as Pax River, has kept an 'exotic vehicle of unknown origin' secretly housed there, possibly since the 1950s. According to anonymous sources tied to Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR), which is headquartered at Pax River, certain military programs at the base have been involved in analyzing and exploiting technology recovered from non-human craft for years. UFO whistleblower Luis Elizondo stated in written testimony to Congress that a specially built hangar was constructed at Pax River specifically for the transfer of extraterrestrial technology. Under oath, Elizondo described a plan where this hangar would help major defense contractor Lockheed Martin move non-human technology to another company called Bigelow Aerospace for further study and analysis. Last year, Dr Hal Puthoff, a physicist and electrical engineer who worked on the government's psychic spy and UFO research programs, revealed on the Joe Rogan Experience podcast that the US military has recovered more than 10 spacecraft since the infamous Roswell incident. Puthoff claimed that some of these craft were actually fully intact craft that had been 'gifted' to humans by extraterrestrials.

In mid-December, as negotiations to end Russia’s war in Ukraine gathered pace, a group of Ukrainian officials sat in a conference room in New York for a meeting with senior executives at BlackRock, the world’s largest asset manager. They had come to discuss a crucial element of a peace plan drafted by Kyiv and Washington: Ukraine’s postwar recovery. BlackRock had been enlisted to help build a strategy for what President Volodymyr Zelensky has called an $800 billion “prosperity plan.” The meeting, held at BlackRock’s headquarters, kick-started work on identifying funding sources and investment priorities. BlackRock’s role has generated more questions than answers, as the Trump administration steers plans for rebuilding Ukraine toward American business interests. Seven European and Ukrainian officials ... voiced doubts about BlackRock’s ability to attract the enormous investments envisioned. The involvement in the talks of a private firm whose main business is to maximize financial returns has reinforced concerns that the Trump administration views Ukraine’s reconstruction as a profit-making opportunity for the U.S. government and American companies, rather than as primarily a humanitarian or security matter. Last year, President Trump pushed for a deal granting the United States a stake in Ukraine’s mineral wealth. In peace talks with Kyiv, the president’s main negotiators have been real estate developers. Note: First, Blackrock buys up government bonds used to finance military spending, meaning it directly profits from the debt created by war itself. Then, after the war, Blackrock is set to profit again — this time from reconstruction contracts, land grabs, and privatization efforts. Read about this and more with our Substack, Working Together To End the War On Peace in Ukraine, which challenges the dominant narrative on the Ukraine war, arguing that US and NATO policies, covert intelligence agency operations, media censorship, and corporate profiteering have fueled the conflict while blocking genuine peace efforts. - New York Times

Congressional representatives sat rapt as a visiting Brazilian neurosurgeon described what it was like to stare back at the large lilac-colored eyes of a highly intelligent, nonhuman being. The closed-door session on Jan. 15 brought together three members of Congress seeking greater government transparency on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, long called UFOs, and a group of Brazilians who say they witnessed the crash of an otherworldly spacecraft and later encountered its nonhuman occupants. Coming thirty years after the striking events, the private Washington meeting ... followed by a public press conference five days later, raised the prospect of unprecedented Brazilian-American cooperation in unraveling the mysteries of one of the best researched—and shocking—UFO cases on record. The story is this: On January 13, 1996, in the countryside outside the municipality of Varginha, Brazil, the geography teacher—also an ultralight pilot—reported seeing a cylindrical craft trailing smoke and crashing to Earth. A week later, three girls walking home through a vacant lot reported encountering a cowering creature with reddish eyes and brown oily skin that reportedly communicated its suffering through its eyes. Before long, the streets of Varginha were filled with military trucks and emergency vehicles amid rumors of the capture of two nonhuman beings, one later hospitalized, and a clandestine American operation that spirited them out of Brazil.

Growing up, some kids had pretty standard rules—finish your homework, be nice to your siblings, help with chores. But as these stories from a recent Reddit thread reveal, not everyone’s house played by the same rulebook. From being forced to write reports on every episode of The Andy Griffith Show to not being allowed in the house, these strange childhood rules range from quirky to downright disturbing. Whether mildly funny or oddly tragic, these tales show just how weird childhood can get when you have insane parents. 1. Photo by Pixabay on Pexels Not allowed in the house after school. Change clothes, do your homework on the back porch, then do your chores. After that, you could do anything you wanted but couldn’t go in the house until mom called us for supper. After everyone had eaten everything mom had put on our plate, dad would go sit and watch TV. He picked the show, and no one could speak. We were sent to bed at random times. We were afraid of dad; his punishment was illegal, to say the least. We were never touched for a hug or bedtime thing. 2. Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels When I was about 14, I asked my mother (who I was made to live with when I was around 11) to put on a shirt and stop walking around without clothes. My punishment was to immediately remove my shirt and bra when I got home from school and walk around topless. If I covered myself, another week was added. It was her husband’s idea, but she totally…didn’t give a f**k and made me comply. Not so much “weird” as it is full-on SA. Sorry to ruin the vibe. 3. I wasn’t allowed to watch mice-centric movies (The Rescuers, American Tail) because my mom said “our cat finds them offensive.” 4. I wasn’t allowed to put sugar in my tea because my mum told me that when you go to prison, they don’t let you have sugar, so it will make prison that much harder. Thanks for having so much faith in me mum. I’m pretty sure you are allowed sugar for your tea in prison. 5. Photo by Stijn Swinnen on Unsplash Don’t bring snakes inside. To be fair, it was a reactionary rule. 6. We weren’t allowed to say “that’s not fair” because “life isn’t fair.” To this day, I am preoccupied with fairness, equality, justice – to an almost obsessive extent. Sounds like the beginning of a superhero movie but it’s just crippling f*****g anxiety. 7. Still have to follow this now because I still live at home, even though I’m 21 (rent is insane!!) I can’t lock my bedroom door or any bathroom doors during the day when I’m in my room or on the toilet. My dad will get pissed off and try to knock the doors down. It’s flat-up abusive imo. 8. Not allowed to walk around in socks with no shoes. I got my revenge when I moved into my first nice apartment alone. They came to visit, and I made them take their shoes off at the door. 9. Not allowed to take naps when I was a teenager because “I’m too young to be tired” even after I got a job and had to be up at 5am… 10. Photo by Sophie Lavoie on Unsplash I wasn’t allowed to say no. I wasn’t allowed to smile either. 11. When I was young, my mom made us go to bed at 6pm. I remember the sun being out and hearing kids outside playing. She got married soon after, and the guy had a daughter, so that rule went away, but I really think she just didn’t want to deal with us. We spent all day outside playing when we weren’t at school and weren’t allowed to come in until she called us in for dinner, and then it was baths and bed. 12. Hyper-Christian parents were very worried about Satanism in the 90s and early 2000s, so no Pokémon, or anything with magic (all my friends played Runescape D&D). Also, no Halloween or anything with monsters. As a parent now, Pokémon is my favorite show to watch with my kid, and Halloween is probably my favorite holiday. 13. No naps. Not in the car, the house, if you were sick, etc. My dad couldn’t nap (terrible sleeper) so we couldn’t either. 12-hour road trip? No sleeping in the car, and no whining either. Flu? Doesn’t matter. 14. When my brother and I had a fight, we would be locked in a dog cage in the backyard. If we fought in the car, we would get “bagged” and were forced to wear pillowcases on our heads until we reached our destination. It could be 45 minutes up to 4 hours. We laughed about it telling friends, and it only dawned on us how f****d up it was when we realized our friends were not laughing. 15. Photo by Max Vakhtbovycn on Pexels If the fridge door was open, with or without a child kneeling behind it, my dad would body slam it closed. We got a lot of concussions (probably mum didn’t believe in hospital visits until pain was present for 3 days, and head injuries were “easy to fake” according to her). 16. No laughing in the house; if you want to laugh, go outside. 17. I wasn’t allowed to do anything near windows. My mom was convinced that our neighbors were always watching us, so I had to crouch down whenever I went by a window. 18. My dad had severe OCD. He converted our garage to a studio apartment that we were never allowed to enter. He had his own dishes, and if we were ever caught using them, they became family dishes. Even washing them wasn’t enough – they were ruined. 19. Unless it was for school or I was with one of my parents, my sister and I were never allowed to leave the apartment. We couldn’t have friends over, and we couldn’t go to friends’ houses…probably why I’m such a homebody now with anxiety issues around people. 20. Photo by Omar Mahmood on Pexels There were false accusations that I was taking too many of the good pieces of food shared with my sibling. So I wasn’t allowed to look at the food while we ate it. I had to look straight ahead at the TV and eat without looking. The post 20 Millennials Share The Shocking And Weird Rules They Had To Follow Growing Up appeared first on Pleated Jeans.
