David Grusch also revealed in his Joe Rogan interview that Reptilian and Gray ETs are involved in battles, and Reptilians have been killed in shootouts. Grusch said such accounts were being discussed in highly classified facilities.

This brings to mind Phil Schneider's info about the 1979 firefight with Gray ETs at Dulce underground base. Such revelations led to Schneiders death/murdeer only six months later in Jan 1996. Thankfully, that's unlikely to happen to Grusch.

There exist high quality contemporary footage of a UFO crash retrieval with dead humanoid aliens

The aliens are described as "beautiful", with albino bluish skin, gray long hair, and skin suits

This video may be released in one of the upcoming UFO tranches per David Grusch who worked on the UAP task Force

The debate concerning the Florida Myakka Skunk Ape photos, 2000, often stumbles over whether the origin is from a Polaroid vs 35mm camera? The study of the documentation shows the photographic evidence credits it to an inexpensive instantamatic (disposable) camera. @CryptoLoren

In 1973, Falkville Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw responded to a UFO call and came face-to-face with a bizarre, reflective humanoid he managed to capture on Polaroid—the infamous Metal Man of Falkville. This Sunday, we revisit the case in an all-new episode of On the Trail of UFOs: The Disclosure Era, premiering on the Small Town Monsters YouTube channel, Stream Beacon TV and Fawesome.

The Berwyn Mountain UFO incident:
“The Welsh Roswell and a very Peculiar Cover-up”

On the evening of 23 January 1974, residents across the Berwyn Mountains area in North Wales (particularly around Llandrillo and Bala) were startled by a massive explosion and violent ground tremors. When people ran outside, they witnessed strange, bright, and pulsating lights streaking across the night sky.

The incident sparked a frantic emergency response, decades of declassified government document releases, and heavy speculation about an extraterrestrial cover-up.

Because many locals initially believed a military or commercial aircraft had crashed into the peaks, search parties and emergency services were quickly mobilised.

The most famous witness, a district nurse named Pat Evans, was driving toward the mountain pass to see if she could help crash victims. She reported seeing a massive, brilliant spherical orb resting on the side of Cadair Berwyn. She described it as a "large perfect circle" glowing with a deep "coal-fire red" intensity, surrounded by smaller twinkling lights.

In the days following the event, locals claimed that "strangers" in suits arrived in the villages asking pointed questions. Theories later emerged that the military cordoned off the mountain, recovered extraterrestrial technology (and alien biological remains), and moved them to top-secret research facilities like Porton Down. The officials at the time denied that there was any military activity in the area.

In 2010, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) declassified its official files on the incident through the National Archives. Government documents, combined with records from the British Geological Survey, formally dismissed the extraterrestrial claims. The new official line only added to the growing conspiracy of a cover-up.

The files stated that what happened on that night was the convergence of three separate natural events: a magnitude 3.5 earthquake struck the Bala fault line at precisely 8:38 PM; at the exact same time, a bright bolide meteor was confirmed to have disintegrated 35km above Manchester; the lights were explained be gamekeepers and local poachers being active on the hillsides that night.

For decades, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) insisted there was no military activity in North Wales that evening, maintaining that the event was entirely down to a coincidental earthquake and meteor. However, a declassified official document from the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) surfaced, proving that a major training exercise was indeed actively underway.

Operation Photoflash is the codename for a real military exercise that took place on the exact night of the Berwyn Mountain UFO incident. According to official Coastguard records, Operation Photoflash was a scheduled training exercise launched out of the Jerby Range on the Isle of Man. The exercise involved roughly 10 military aircraft operating across Liverpool Bay and the North Wales coast. The aircraft dropped 80 powerful flash flares into the night sky, designed to illuminate the coastline and sea for high-altitude night-time reconnaissance photography.

When the MoD released its official UFO files, information regarding Operation Photoflash was entirely omitted. UFO researchers argue that the government deliberately hid the operation to cover up what the military was actually doing.

Prominent UK UFO investigator Russ Kellett popularised a theory that Operation Photoflash wasn't just a basic photo exercise. He claims the military tracked three separate, unidentified craft moving through the Irish Sea. In this theory, the "Photoflash" operation was used to illuminate the waters, while the military allegedly engaged the objects, flushing them out and ultimately leading to one crashing directly into the Berwyn Mountains.

This remains one of the most debated UFO incidents in the UK. For skeptics it remains “case closed” for others, well the truth is still out there, somewhere.

Bigfoot Family Ridge Watchers — Utah 2011

Watch this and keep your eyes on the ridge.

I just can’t let go of these old Utah sledding clips. They take me right back to the days when FB/FB (Facebook Find Bigfoot) was in full swing and the community felt alive. That was the season I finally pulled the Bigfoot question back off the shelf after years of setting it aside. Jack and Jeff were the ones who first brought these particular clips to a lot of our attention, and I still miss those guys.

In early January 2011 a Utah dad (johnnny11 on YouTube) uploaded three short home videos of his kids and their friends sledding and hiking high in the mountains. Weeks later he noticed dark bipedal figures on the ridge in the background.

Clip 1 shows one figure walking away into the trees.

Clip 2 shows another that appears to watch the group before disappearing.

Clip 3 (the one embedded here) shows a third that seems to struggle or move awkwardly as if trying to get out of sight.

He went back for tracks, but the snow was already gone. Distant, low-resolution, no measurements, no clear anatomy. Classic material that sits firmly in the “uncertain” column.

My thoughts: Bigfoot are often reported to be drawn to the sounds of women and children, so a noisy group of kids sledding high on a mountain could easily pull the attention of anything that was already in the area. That part of the story still feels plausible to me.

But the third clip is the one that keeps me leaning toward other hikers or sledders. The way the arms swing to keep balance and push through the snow just doesn’t carry the kind of powerful, deliberate movement I associate with Sasquatch. It looks more human — someone dealing with the same deep snow and uneven footing the kids were dealing with below.

An intentional hoax feels extremely unlikely. The family is clearly just playing, the subjects are way out of frame, and nothing about the footage suggests it was staged for effect.

So for me this stays on the “don’t know” list, but right now I’m tilting toward other people on the mountain. Still worth looking at, though — especially if you remember those early FB/FB days the way I do.

Watch the clips linked in replies. What do you see? Are we looking at a family of Bigfoot watching a family of humans or just some hikers taking a rest before moving on?

It’s Thunderfoot Thursday and the forest is watching back… 🌲👀🔥

This striking digital illustration signed by Brian Lentz sets such a warm mood. What’s better than a peaceful campsite under the stars and full moon, fire crackling with a pot suspended over the flames? A camper in camo kneeling by the lit yellow tent, just soaking it all in… and oh look who’s stopping by to see how things are going — a friendly towering figure with glowing bioluminescent eyes and that pleasant smile. Nothing to worry about at all. 😆🫈

This guy’s just a big softy with a huge heart! Don’t let the glowing eyes fool you; this is pure innocent curiosity and warm kinship.

I was asked last night by one of my boomer friends what the term last watch meant. I realize now that I’ve never really explained my thinking behind the name.

Now I played a lot of dungeons and dragons growing up. One of the staples of dungeons and dragons is party members taking watch. Sometimes the dice are with you and other times they are not an a wandering monster shows up and ruins your sleep.

So why last watch? Because that’s the watch that has the most chance of encountering a monster. It’s always darkest before the dawn. You’ve made it through the night and now you just have to hold on for a few more moments before everything will be ok.

That’s how I felt when I got the idea. We just have to hold on. We have to keep the fire going and we have to be on the look out for cryptids,ghost and monsters.

So stay safe out there and make a perception check for me
