🛸March 16, 1957. A 300-foot silver craft supposedly lands in a field in Alexandria, Virginia.
Two local police officers arrive. The door opens, and out steps a normal-looking man in a silver-and-gold jumpsuit. He smiles, waves, and says in perfect English: “I need to see the President.”
His name is Valiant Thor.
He claims to be from Venus, “the morning and evening star” of the Bible. According to the story, within hours he is in the Oval Office with President Eisenhower.
Thor says Earth has been watched for thousands of years, but the atomic bomb has forced his people to intervene. His “High Council,” a federation of many worlds, offers to help end war, hunger and disease if the nuclear powers agree to disarm.
Eisenhower supposedly declines. Humanity isn’t ready. It would ruin the economy.
Then the story gets even stranger. Thor allegedly remains at the Pentagon for three years, sharing advanced technology and demonstrating his supposedly indestructible “miracle garment,” which weighs just six ounces and can survive bullets, acid, lasers and diamond drills.
Photographs of Thor and his alleged crew, Don, Jill and Tanya eventually surface from a meeting at fellow contactee Howard Menger’s home.
Thor’s closest human confidant is Dr. Frank Stranges, a Christian minister who believed Jesus and the angels were extraterrestrial beings. According to Stranges, Thor’s real mission was not simply to give humanity advanced technology, but to return mankind to God. In exchange, humanity would be shown “the wonders of the universe.”
Stranges later claimed that he was poisoned, beaten and nearly killed on multiple occasions, only for Thor to appear with antidotes or healing abilities. In 1968, he said Thor took him aboard a massive saucer near San Felipe, Mexico, where he encountered interiors resembling a luxury resort, with living, cloud-like floors and virtually no right angles.
Stranges published the entire story in Stranger at the Pentagon in 1967, claiming Thor’s spacecraft, Victor One, was still cloaked near Lake Mead and that thousands of people including government employees knew the truth.
It is one of the strangest contactee stories of the 20th century: Venusian space brothers, biblical extraterrestrials, Pentagon meetings, secret technology and a message of spiritual transformation.
But what actually holds up?
The photographs exist. The book exists. But important parts of the story surrounding Thor’s identity and Stranges’ academic credentials don’t withstand scrutiny. And the basic plot bears an uncanny resemblance to The Day the Earth Stood Still, released just six years earlier, with a heavy dose of evangelical Christianity layered on top.
Whether Valiant Thor was ever anything more than a character in one of UFOlogy’s strangest myths, the message attributed to him remains surprisingly simple:
Be kind. Keep an open mind. Serve one another.
The story may tell us nothing about Venusians.
But it tells us a great deal about what some people in the early UFO era hoped extraterrestrial contact would mean.
Not just advanced technology.
A different way of being human.
I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
The woman who spent years cleaning hotel rooms — helped raise the man who now represents America on the world stage. And if we fail to honor her today, we are overlooking one of the most inspiring stories of sacrifice and love.
Hardly anyone talks about Oriales Rubio. Few people share her story. Few remember the long days she spent making beds, stocking shelves, and working tirelessly so her son, Marco, could have opportunities she never had.
She arrived from Cuba in 1956 with very little. Yet she devoted her life to building a better future for her family. Every early morning, every exhausting shift, every sacrifice was made with one goal in mind — giving her children a chance to succeed.
Marco Rubio witnessed that dedication firsthand. And everywhere life took him — the Senate, the White House, the State Department, and across the world — he carried the lessons and values his mother gave him.
She was always with him.
On September 27, 2019, Oriales Rubio passed away peacefully at the age of 88, surrounded by the family she loved so deeply and worked so hard to support.
After her passing, Marco shared words that touched countless hearts:
“God blessed her with almost 89 years of life filled with love. The love she had for her children is but a glimpse of the even greater love God has for His.”
From a woman who worked humble jobs to support her family... to seeing her son become one of America’s most recognized leaders — it is a story of faith, perseverance, and hope.
Only God can write stories like that.
Today, let us take a moment to remember Oriales Rubio and the countless mothers whose sacrifices helped shape the future of their children.
🚨🔈 BREAKING: UFO DISCLOSURE MOMENT OF TRUTH ON JUNE 9TH! 🔥🛸
James Fox and Leslie Kean are teaming up with UAP whistleblower David Grusch and a bipartisan crew of Congress members (including Reps. Tim Burchett, Anna Paulina Luna, Eric Burlison, and Jared Moskowitz) for an unprecedented press conference on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Tuesday, June 9th at 1:00 PM ET.
They're issuing a direct call to action to the President demanding the release of specific "groundbreaking conclusive files" on UAPs/nonhuman intelligence, crash retrievals, and reverse engineering programs, plus pushing hard for new disclosure legislation.
Major news media are confirmed to attend.
This builds on Grusch’s 2023 sworn testimony about multi decade programs involving non human craft and biologics that he was denied access to. James Fox (The Phenomenon, Moment of Contact) and Leslie Kean (the 2017 NYT Tic Tac bombshell) bring decades of investigative credibility.
If these files drop as demanded, we could finally see hard evidence of NHI tech and bodies that changes humanity forever, ending the decades long coverup, limited hangouts, and gatekeeping.
This timing (right after recent UAP document releases and before more expected drops) feels like the tipping point toward full transparency.
Is the simulation glitching toward truth? Or are we witnessing the biggest paradigm shift in modern history?
The public deserves answers. Reality shouldn't be classified. Stay tuned, June 9th could be legendary!
Making D.C. safe and beautiful again. Here is an impressive list of renovations and basic clean up efforts in our great nations capital. Well done Mr. President in taking the initiative to make this city safer for everyone and more beautiful. We the People thank you.
Nick Pope spent the early 1990s running the UFO desk at the UK Ministry of Defence.
He spent the next 30 years talking openly about what he saw and what he believed.
That kind of consistency is rare. So was he.
His last public words: "I hope I moved the needle."
He did.

🚨 WOW! Artemis II pilot Victor Glover spreads the gospel after a safe return home from space
This dude is a MASTERCLASS!
"I wanted to thank God in public, and I want to thank God again, because even bigger than my challenge trying to describe what we went through, the gratitude of seeing what we saw, doing what we did, and being with who I was with — it's too big to just be in one body." 🙏🏻
