Gary Bates, a researcher known for his work on the intersection of faith and the UFO phenomenon.

He is the author of "Alien Intrusion: Unmasking a Deception," which explores UFO sightings from a Christian perspective.

His research often argues that alien encounters are not extraterrestrial in origin but are instead spiritual phenomena.

Bates presents the viewpoint that these encounters can be addressed through religious beliefs rather than scientific investigation alone.

Disclosure: I work on VRAI's UAP evidence-control project. This is a source-control / public-records note, not an object, authenticity, origin, performance, or disclosure claim.

The narrow source-control note:

1. The active War.gov UAP CSV is cumulative at 222 rows. The May 22 Release 02 tranche is the 64 rows dated 5/22/26: 51 videos, 7 audio files, and 6 PDFs.

2. All 51 Release 02 video-row descriptions carry chain-of-custody / informational-use caveats. I would not treat the public videos as native/source-device files or as official validation of event interpretation.

3. DOE-UAP-D001 / Pantex is released as pages 5-6 of a 6-page sequence. In our local/public official-route pass, pages 1-4 were not recovered. That is missing context, not proof of suppression or proof of what those pages contain.

4. PR057a and PR057b currently share the same public DVIDS video ID, 1007720, pending owner correction or explanation.

What this does not show:

• It does not prove event truth, object identity, origin, performance, native sensor status, audio authenticity, completeness, suppression, or agency validation.
• It does not prove whether the PR057 shared ID is an error, a duplicate upload, or an intended catalog mapping.
• It does not prove what is on the unrecovered Pantex pages 1-4.

The useful question is whether anyone has seen official correction notes, source-chain records, archived CSV versions, or owner responses that clarify the PR057 mapping or the Pantex page sequence.

Submission statement: This is a public-records/source-control note about the May 22 War.gov UAP Release 02 tranche. The goal is to keep citations clean before these records get used in stronger UFO arguments.

First of all, I'm a huge fan of aliens and ufos'. We finally have the Pentagon releasing their videos. They're fantastic and I commend them on finally letting the world try to figure out whats going on. Hopefully, they'll release everything.

So what is it?

It's consciousness based and there is nothing physical.

What the scenario:

David Fravor sees a tic tac hovering above the water, causing ripples in the water. He looks at his radar systems to confirm the target. He turns to his copilot to see if she sees the same thing. They experience it breaking the laws of physics.

What's really going on?

David gets an illusion of a tic tac planted in his mind and so does Alex. They experience augmented reality, overlay of an artificial object in the real world. For validation, they look at their guidance systems and see the same ufo. Since it can control tech, they believe what they are seeing with their own eyes is the truth.

How does it control tech because it seems like magic? Its actually just time. The programmer of the tech on the craft added a corrupted piece of code 20 years ago, that executed at that exact time.

What other things are fabricated?

Demons and angels, dmt entities, mythological gods, sleep paralysis demons, paranormal encounters, and basically everything supernatural.

During an interview on Area 52 Ross Coulthart sits down and gives his most recent take to date on the UFO and NHI phenomenon. Ross says some interesting ideas concerning the possible intentions of the phenomenon.

**“It’s interesting that somebody in very political senior leadership position was being projected to, their perception was being manipulated in some way by what appears to have been a non human intelligence representing itself to them in a way that could not be perceived by other people. And that’s why I’m often wary of saying that when we see craft or even beings. I wonder if there is a phenomenology that’s capable of presenting itself in whatever way it wants…you can’t rule out the possibility that it’s all just one phenomenon representing itself in different ways. If they can do that, people just default to the idea that these are loving beings. It could be that they are just manipulating (deceiving) us.”**

\- Ross Coulthart

Across many ancient civilizations, there are powerful myths describing non-human intelligences—gods, spirits, demons, or trickster beings—who deceive humans for selfish, chaotic, or dark purposes. These stories often served as moral warnings, cosmological explanations, or reflections of human fears about manipulation and hidden knowledge.

The idea of a “Great Deception” prophecy appears in several religious and mythological traditions. While the wording differs, the core theme is similar:

A powerful non-human intelligence will mislead humanity on a massive scale, distorting truth, morality, or reality itself.

Overview

Some believe the “Authorities or Powers” guard the corridors between the physical world and the higher heavens. Guarding of the Portals of the realms. Also because their function is combat-adjacent and protective, the iconography of the “Powers or Authorities” is significantly more aggressive than that of the Dominions.

The Fallen Cosmic Authorities or Powers

If you've ever read ancient theological texts, early Christian epistles, you've likely seen the phrase

"principalities, powers, and rulers of darkness" lumped together.

This creates a fascinating piece of information in angelology. Because the Powers operate on the boundary line between the material world and the purely spiritual spheres, theological tradition holds that this choir suffered the highest number of defections during the cosmic extra-celestial rebellion.

When Saint Paul writes in Ephesians that humanity wrestles not against flesh and blood, but against "principalities and powers," he is referring to fallen members of this exact choir—entities that abandoned their role and post as cosmic guardians and instead attempted to establish their own tyrannical places and territories of darkness over the human mind and physical institutions and locations.

Leaving boundaries or portals open between the physical and spiritual realms. Letting dark entities and forces travel at will between worlds.

Some theories suggest that “blood” and “innocent sacrifice” “witchcraft, spells, and names” calls on these evil fallen door keepers giving permission and authority to open dark cosmic doorways to be left wide open…

‼️⚠️OP NOTE: WARNING & WEAPON: DO NOT EVER CALL ON ANY OF THESE ENTITIES. I PERSONALLY WHEN STUDYING INTENTIONALLY SKIP OVER THIER NAMES. UNLESS YOU ARE CASTING OUT WITH THE ARMOR AND NAME OF JESUS! WE ARE CURRENTLY IN A SPIRITUAL BATTLE WITH SOME OF THESE FALLEN CELESTIAL BEINGS. THE BIBLE TEACHES THEIR ARENA IS THE AIR AND AUTHORITY OVER PORTALS OR GATES. THE BIBLE INSTRUCTS THE ONLY WAY TO CONFRONT THESE ENTITIES IS THE “AMOR OF GOD”. TRUTH- RIGHTEOUSNESS- PEACE- FAITH- SALVATION- THE WORD OF GOD

From the Article:

A senior US intelligence official spotted mysterious “orange orbs” next to his helicopter while on a mission last year that left him “speechless,” according to a chilling account published by the Pentagon Friday in the latest dump of UFO-related documents.

The US official was part of a crew investigating reports of “loud thuds” and unidentified aerial phenomenon [UAP] sightings in the mountains near a sensitive US military facility in late 2025 when they ran into the objects that seemed to be “chasing” fighter jets.

While investigating, an object suddenly flew towards their chopper and came within 10-feet before splitting (shapeshifting) into two smaller objects and speeding off out of sight. Fighter jets were deployed to identify the objects.

Moments later, the crew “saw countless orange orbs swarming in all directions against the backdrop of the mountain. The display lasted several minutes before fading,” the unidentified senior official noted in the report.

Suddenly, the official observed with a naked eye “two large orbs flare up side by side, close to the helicopter — stationary and just above the rotor disk to our right.”

The orbs were described as “oval-shaped, orange with a white or yellow center, and emitted light in all directions.” A third and fourth orb appeared seconds later making a “T” formation with the others.

Then, “they dimmed in reverse order, remaining stationary until they vanished from view. The entire event lasted 10-15 seconds,” the official recalled.

Fighter jets then scrambled to identify the objects — but were unable to. He said “the same orbs we had encountered were now ‘chasing’ the fighters.”

“After landing, I briefly spoke with [the crew]– mostly to express thanks. We were virtually speechless after these observations.”

Compilation of all of the interesting clips (most all videos displayed in compilation) for a brief overview of the latest release from war.gov/UFO

For those who may not have the time to play each one, I've tried to capture the the essence of the latest release.

DOW-UAP-PR054, “SPHERICAL UAP ERRATIC MOVEMENT [CALLSIGN] (MISSION) 2022”

A small part of this video was shown in the docu from Jeremy Corbell (sleeping dogs)

It's one of the more interesting videos I have seen so far. Not sure what it could be not really ever seen anything like this.

Matt Ford from TheGoodTroubleShow:

Matt Ford: "I never had anything like this happen before"

[Timestamp 1:20:47](https://youtu.be/1CNhu0ZtLcQ?t=4847):

Matt Ford: "Viewers at home may or may not be aware of of my experience with this, but, I had never had anything happen my entire life. No memory of anything, seeing anything strange in the sky. And I had, decided I'd been writing some op eds and I'd written some op eds on, U.S. and Russian nuclear policy"

Matt Ford: Staffers of a powerful senator confirmed to me UFOs are real

Timestamp: 1:23:23

> Reed Summers: "I've had some of those, some similar interactions. And people have relayed interactions like that with me. And I think I can say that the abduction phenomenon, and a potential hybridization phenomenon are known of in the U.S government, and it is acknowledged as a massive problem"

The poltergeist activity begins

> Matt Ford: "But a couple days later, we started having paranormal stuff happen in the house. And it started with a baby gate, getting pushed over in the kitchen. We woke up at 6 a.m. thinking someone was breaking into the house, and, we have this baby gate just leaned up against, the cabinet on the kitchen floor. And we we looked at the security camera that we had in there, and it looked like somebody literally had just pushed the thing over with with their finger"

Car sized orb appeared above Fords house

> Matt Ford: "And then about, I think it was, 3 to 5 days, later, my spouse and I are outside, and this orb of light, probably about the size of, like a mini-cooper appeared above the house. And, and there was, the paranormal stuff continued. We had banging on the walls and voices and, you know, that lasted for about 4 to 6 months"

There are 3 parts to the video.

First, Erik Nanstiel discusses his theory on how ancient Maya and the Aztecs were harvested by aliens for their type O blood. Meaning aliens were in fact their gods and their human sacrifice rituals were intended for them to consume their blood.

The next part is Mike Battista showing his recording of his encounter with an alien, which morphed into different shapes and images. One of those being a figure holding a skull, which he likened to ancient indigenous petroglyphs that he recently saw before the encounter.

And the third part of the video is an ancient carving of the Maya god of death holding a severed human head.

Anyone else ever have similar theories? Makes you wonder if parts of the Dulce Base theory may be true.
