When V.T. and a few others of you out there sent along the following story (with our thanks), I knew I would have to blog about it, because of it’s subject matter and unparalleled opportunity for me to take another Wile E. Coyote nosedive into the canyon of high octane speculation. The source of the story, let it be noted, is the ever-not-reliable British media, in this case, the UK Daily Mail, a London tabloid. Now, granted, the Daily Mail is not quite as bad a propaganda organ of mis- and dis-information like some other British media outlets, like the BBC, The Guardian, or The London Daily Torygraph, for example. Nonetheless, it’s best to have you salt shaker and bag of salt handy. That’s especially true in this case, because the contents, if true, are a whopper doozie. But we’ll get back to that subjnctive “if true” mood in a moment. First, the story from August of last year:
TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/
That’s the story: a declassified CIA document alleges that the Soviet air force shot down a UFO full of five “aliens” (presumably not from Venezuela), and the “aliens” in response shot back, turning the Soviet airmen into… well, stone… you know, sort of like that “goddess” from Greek mythology with snakes for hair who according to the mythology became the head of the European Union. I think her name was Medusala von der Lyin’ , or something like that. Now, I hope this works, because an image of the CIA document accompanies this story:
Now, just in case that copy and paste didn’t work, there’s three paragraphs in this alleged declassified CIA document that grab our notice:
According to the KGB materials, a quite low-flyinf spaceship in the shape of a saucer appeared above a military unit that was conducting routine training maneuvers. For unknown reasons, somebody unexpectedly launched a surface-to-air missile and hit the UFO. It fell to earth not far away, and five short humanoids with “large heads and large black eyes” emerged from it.
It is stated that the testimonies by the two soldiers who remained alive that, after freeing themselves from the debris, the aliens came close together and then “merged into a single object that acquired a spherical shape.” That object began to buss and hiss sharply, and then became brilliant whit. In a few seconds, the spheres grew much bigger and exploded by flaring up with an extremely bright light. At that very instant, we soldiers who had watched the phenomenon turned into stone poles. Only two soldiers who stood in the shade and were less exposed to the luminous explosion survived.
The KGB report goes on to say that the remains of the remains of the UFO and the “petrified soldiers” were transferred to a secret scientific research institution near Moscow. Specialists assume that a source of energy that is still unknown to earthlings instantly changed the structure of the soldiers’ living organisms, having transformed it into a substance whole molecular composition is no different from that of limestone.
And that, dear reader, is the story.
Now, here’s my problem: we’re being asked to believe in the trustworthiness of a story that has gone through three apparent layers of handlers with well-known links to the goobernments of the respective countries involved in the story: the Soviet Union and its wonderfully truthful and always-to-be-trusted Komitet Gozvudarstvenoy Bezhopaznosti, the United States and its completely trustworthy Central Intelligence Agency, the very model of morality, probity, and truth-telling, and of course, Great Britain, with a London tabloid newspaper and member of a wider state-controlled media which is famed worldwide for never making up stories and not having any connections whatsoever to British intelligence. There are a number of “tells” in the document that suggest that the whole thing is a bit of leg-pulling on the part of someone. For example, notice the inability to account for sudden changes in detail. In the second paragraph, for example, we’re told the “aliens-who-are-not-from-Venezuela” merged into a sphere which began to buzz and hiss. Then, in the very next sentence, we are “informed” that “In a few seconds, the spheres grew much bigger…”. Which is it? One sphere? Or more than one? Is this a case of translational incompetence? Did the CIA leave out details from the Russian original? Or are the details not there at all because the entire story is a fabrication by the KGB, or the CIA, or even the boys at MI-6 having a bit of fun over afternoon tea? (“They’ll have a bloody good time with this one, wot? Cheers!”) Then there’s that last sentence in the third paragraph with yet another “tell”: “Specialists assume that a source of energy that is still unknown to earthlings…” &c. Earthlings?!? I don’t know about you, but most people that I encounter in everyday conversation refer to us native hominid inhabitants of this planet as humans, not earthlings, and the sentence, if written by anyone in a serious analytical post in an intelligence agency, would probably have used the word “humans” and not “earthlings.”
So…. color me almost completely skeptical about this story, with apologies to those of you who sent me the story in a pitch of excitement that this goes a ways toward “proof” that “we” are being visited by Venezuelans who merge into a hissing glowing sphere that suddenly and without explanation becomes many spheres which explode and turns everyone near the explosion into pillars of limestone. It sort of sounds like a story from the Old Testament, but I’m not going there.
But what happens when we follow our usual methodology when confronted by a story like this, and assume it to be true for the sake of some high octane speculation? Oddly enough, there is a detail in all this otherwise ill-conceived jumble of a story that stands out as very suggestive, and that is precisely the part about the Venezuelans…er… aliens merging into a glowing buzzing and hissing sphere, for that glowing, buzzing, and hissing is a characteristic of certain types of plasma phenomena, and is, for example, often reported by witnesses of ball lightning. If my memory is correct (and that’s iffy), I seem to recall stories of ball lightning phenomena merging and splitting as well. Such merging and splitting might, by yet another extreme stretch of speculation, suggest shape-shifting properties and the ability to project little Venezuelans aliens with big heads and big black eyes before merging and becoming glowing balls of plasma.
