Roswell, New Mexico is one of the most famous locations with regard to UFO crash sites. Also, in the same vein, Area 51 might be the most famous military base in the world that doesn’t officially exist. Other places around the globe also have crash sites that are quite famous. One such crash site being Zhitkur, colloquially referred to as the “Russian Roswell.”

The Zhitkur crash occurred over 100 years ago. It was around 7:17 AM local time on the 30th of June in 1908. What was initially thought to be a meteor or fragment of comet entered the atmosphere in Siberia somewhere above the lower region of the Stony Tunguska River. The explosion it created was as much as 1,000 times the power of the Hiroshima atomic bomb; it caused trees to become laid out like matchsticks in a huge circular pattern. Where there was supposed to be a huge crater, none was found, this meant that it could not have been a meteor or comet fragment. The object, whatever it was, had to have exploded high above the ground.

A popular theory which still sparks imaginations to this day is that a UFO crash-landed in the area. Since then there have been numerous reports and claims of UFO sightings and crashes where the wreckage was secretly transported to a highly shrouded Russian air force base for reverse engineering research. This base, Kapustin Yar is the Russian equivalent of our Area 51. Because of the highly sensitive secrets that the underground Russian base was purported to research, the nearby town of Zhitkur was emptied of its population and then leveled.

Less than a year after the famed Roswell incident in 1947, radar operators at the base picked up on an unidentified object. This silver-colored, cigar-shaped object was also witnessed by a fighter pilot flying in the area. After reporting of being blinded by the UFO, the pilot was ordered to engage it. After a dogfight that lasted about three minutes, a missile brought down the unidentified craft. The UFO was reported to have been firing some kind of energy beam or weapon, and subsequently both aircraft crashed.

Soviet recovery teams are reported to have scooped up all of the wreckage and transported it to the underground military base which, ironically enough was named Zhitkur. The reason that MiGs were ordered to engage and bring down any extraterrestrial aircraft was because Russia was desperate to find any advantage over the Americans.

The Zhitkur facility is located about a quarter mile beneath the Earth’s surface. People who have been there have described in detail what can be found inside. Inside there are dark, dank corridors. Numerous offshoots lead to chambers in which there are alien craft in various stages of disassembly. There were also areas where alien autopsies would take place and other sections where unidentified objects were being built.

Ongoing research at Kapustin Yar has been reported as recently as 1997. UFO wreckage is said to be transported into Zhitkur regularly. With the new Russian freedoms, perhaps we can get to know more about Zhitkur and if the UFOs brought there for research were really extraterrestrial in origin. It sure does beg the question of what secrets the Russians may still be hiding.

The beginning of the story about Aliens and their love affair with the bovine inhabitants of Earth dates back to April 1897. The Yates Center Farmer’s Advocate in Kansas told of a local rancher, Alexander Hamilton, his hired man and his son all witnessing a giant UFO that was cigar-shaped and hovering just over the corral near their house.

It was the evening of April 19th and Hamilton claimed that there was a holding place underneath the structure containing six of the weirdest beings he ever saw. Right at that moment, a calf started bawling. It was trapped in the fence with a rope about its neck as it was being hauled upward. They attempted to free the calf of the rope off but were unsuccessful; they then cut the wire of the fence loose and watched as the ship with the calf in tow rose slowly and disappeared into the northwest.

The next day, Hamilton set off in search of the animal. The mutilated remains of his calf were discovered in his pasture by his neighbor. As Hamilton describes, the neighbor was quite confused about not finding tracks of any kind.

An affidavit signed by twelve prominent citizens soon followed Hamilton’s statement. The townspeople swore that Hamilton’s word had never been questioned. In the days following the incident, the story was published in a number of newspapers in the United States and also in Europe.

Having been rediscovered by ufologists in the 1960’s, the story found new life in books and magazine articles. But, much to the chagrin of believers, an elderly woman from Kansas came forward to tell of how she overheard Hamilton boasting to his wife of a story that he had concocted shortly before it was reported in the Farmer’s Advocate. There was a local liars’ club of which Hamilton was a member. According to the woman, the airship and cow story was the one that must have topped all the others as the club broke up soon after.

Although the validity of the initial reporting is in question, there still remains the problem of unsolved cattle mutilations and crop circles. There have been theories which suggest that these mutilations may have been the result of Alien abduction for the gathering of genetic materials for purposes unknown. Most such theories a based around conjecture that people could not have performed such clean dissections in the small amount of time necessary to do so. It is just impossible for them not to have been seen or heard or even to leave evidence behind at the mutilation site. There are also lab reports suggesting that these dissections used unconventional cutting tool among other phenomena.

Whatever the case may be, cow abduction is now synonymous with UFO sightings in our pop culture. Recently, advertisers for California dairies have been giving it attention in commercials. A recent commercial depicted the news media reporting on the story of Aliens abducting cows for their magic white serum, which was actually just milk. Are Aliens abducting cows? You can decide for yourself.

It is believed by many, and documented by them as well, that the Nazi’s were researching and developing propulsion systems that were Alien in nature during the latter part of WWII. These “flying discs” which they called “foo fighters” were not extraterrestrial in origin, but rather the work of very talented scientists.

A German inventor, Victor Schauberger was assigned the task of finding a way to use his special propulsion system theory to produce flying saucer-shaped machines. The theory was that as air or water was rotated in a twisting oscillation, a build-up of energy would result that had immense power and could cause levitation.

According to Schauberger the machine was built at the Mauhausen concentration camp by prison laborers. The craft made its debut flight on the 19th of February, 1945 where it rose to an altitude of 45,000 feet within a span of only 3 minutes. The prototype got destroyed by the Nazis before the Allies could capture it.

The Nazi project, known as Operation Paperclip, was declassified in 1973. This top secret project saw approximately 126 German scientists imported into America after the war. The CIA (formerly the OSS) cleaned up some evidence and the records because President Harry S. Truman did not wish to allow true Nazi’s into the country; not only were they allowed in, they were put on the payroll. It was either the United States Government placed these scientists on the payroll in order to learn their secrets, or allow the Russians to do so. The operation has gotten so old that now most of the secrets are no longer classified.

Surprising information surfaced after this declassification, such as the fact that the chief scientist involved with the NASA Apollo moon project was one of these former Nazi scientists. The people in charge of damage control and public relations always attest that the scientists were never really Nazi’s, merely scientists forced to work for them.
At the time of this project, the operation was very discreet. The general public might well have been outraged that in only a matter of a few months after the war had ended, these Nazi scientists were being brought into the United States. There is no amount of spin-doctoring that could have made the situation seem okay in the public eye; especially to those Americans who had lost their sons in the war fighting the German soldiers.

So, in all probability, the UFO crash-landing in Roswell, New Mexico could very well have been a secret military experimental aircraft. Given the patriotism and the overall climate of the day, what would the Government prefer they believe? Are the UFOs being covered up, or are the UFOs the cover-up?
We know that as many as three other ships that crashed are alleged to have been recovered in the New Mexican desert between the date of the initial crash and the 1950’s. Aztec, New Mexico has a budding tourism based upon the UFOs that later crashed, including reports of 16 bodies that were found intact; there is even a UFO conference that would rival the Roswell one.

Making masks is a popular craft with both children and adults. It takes a bit of preliminary preparation, patience and a few household objects. Creating favorite alien characters from television, movies or from one's imagination is fun and easy. Grey alien mask are one of the most popular alien mask ever used.

The grey alien is a creation of Nazi innovation. An alien being was needed to accompany the secret advanced flying machines made during WWII in Germany, which after the war developed into the Nazi UFO hoax in America. What was their secret formula in creating the grey aliens? Let us start with the stocking of grey alien mask. It turns out the nylon stocking was useful for more than just a gift to the women. In fact, the stocking mask was the precursor of the ski mask so often used today in many a bank robbery.

The stocking contorts the face down to the bones and removes a person’s individual facial features. The ears become just two holes and the nose becomes two nostrils instead. The mouth becomes a nonfunctional slit and the eyes disappear altogether. Why it makes you look almost alien except for the eyes. One could add a nice pair of WWII army surplus goggles to hide the lack of eyes. If one hides the elastic on the goggles, each lens becomes an eye. If the stocking is wrapped around the head, covering the hair, the head becomes bigger and bald. The Nazis were not only innovative; they were cheap. The little grey alien does not even get clothes, but has to run around in the cold night air naked.

The grey aliens were a part of a larger program of mind control, especially of cult-connected members (victims.) No one comes back from abduction with anything good to say about grey aliens because they were a substitute in what used to be “Satan” programming, as in, Satan is watching you, only now it is the grey and they are inserting implants and watching you. Both Satan and grey aliens also like animal mutilations, not to mention both are involved in the sexual creation of hybrids, Satan-human and alien-human. Who would like an alien that mimics Satan?

What are grey aliens good for? They cannot reproduce to make more grey aliens. This is true since they only used prepubescent females and then called them adult males. The Nazis seemed confused on this issue. Maybe the grey aliens had long life spans, which might enable them to travel in their Nazi UFO many millions of light years from home. Two of the original space aliens, the Venusians and the Grey, were created out of women and children the Nazis already controlled their army of Beta sex slaves.

Aliens and alien lore is a popular subject for comics, or graphic novels. There are various ways that aliens may appear. They could be written as the hero, villain, or menace. Due to its fanciful nature, there is much that can be written or imagined concerning extraterrestrials and alien life. Writers of alien comics are only limited by their own imaginations. There are many variations and designs of aliens that have been created by some very imaginative people.

The hero is the “good guy.” He will save a person, small group, or even the world from an enemy. I think most of us know who Superman is but how many think of him as being an alien? He is a hero, saving the world on a daily basis, but he is not from our world. He is from a planet called Krypton, and as an alien, has certain abilities that make him superhuman. First appearing in 1932, he is the very first alien presented in graphic novel form. Superman has been the focus of many series’ over the decades. He is certainly a unique design of alien; not like the “Grays” that we envision as the “real” aliens, not even as H.G. Wells envisioned in his Victorian-era novel War of the Worlds. Superman’s popularity as a fictional character has even extended to include new Kryptonian “relatives.” Perhaps our need for Superman to be alien, and our fear of aliens in general, prompted writers to give Superman a weakness; Kryptonite. As alien comics go, this is certainly one that has become an American icon. Other alien comic heroes soon followed. The Legion of Superheroes and Green Lantern Corp have members which hail from different planets.

But aliens are not just the good guys. Aliens have taken many different shapes and have worn many different masks of villainy. Most notably, the Aliens in the comic based upon the popular series of movies. These are quite nasty foes. With their acidic blood and unmerciful parasitic reproductive needs, this is certainly an interesting and formidable villain. But, alien comics don’t just restrict their villains to being thoughtless, mindless killing machines. From The Shi'ar Empire to The Skrulls, aliens depicted in comic books have become quite elaborate and imaginative, and rich in lore.

Orson Scott Card’s vision of an insect-like alien race called “Buggers” is a frightening prospect. A mixture of the fiends from the old giant bug movies mixed with intelligence and a locust-like drive to consume the resources of other worlds, the Buggers invaded Earth on two separate occasion, narrowly escaping annihilation the second time. Originally a novel, the tale of Ender Wiggin, the hero, is now making its debut in comic book form. If other authors take Card’s lead, we can see a whole new world open in alien comics.

Unique story lines, imaginative plots, brilliant imagery, endless variation possibilities and the author’s ability to create rich and believable characters and races of aliens make alien comics an exciting and thrilling prospect for the future of the graphic novel.

The Alien Quadrilogy, 4 films that were made over a span of 18 years, horrified and delighted millions of movie-goers. In the lore of the films, the Aliens are life-forms with a defined system of hierarchy and are ruled by a queen. The life-cycle of an Alien is comprised of several different stages: the Egg, the Facehugger, the Chestburster and the adult Alien. One interesting thing about the Alien is that it will take on some of the hosts attributes such as quadrupedalism or the possession of mandibles.

The Chestburster is the result of the gestation from the embryonic stage of Alien development; this is the Alien baby. After the Facehugger has impregnated its host with the embryo by implanting its eggs in the host’s bronchial tubes, it will then hatches and burrow to find the aorta where it will begin to feed on white blood cells and absorbed nutrients. A few hours after that, it detaches from the aorta and swims around inside the body of the host. The swimming alien baby causes only mild discomfort until it finds the sternum and starts to chew. The chewing causes a lot of pain and blood loss and the victim will be in shock. The process can take considerably longer in the case of a queen birth. When it has finished chewing its way through the sternum, it will burst violently from the host’s chest cavity, killing him in the process, hence the name Chestburster.

As it is young, the Chestburster’s carapace has yet to harden; its hide is dull, gray and fleshy. The host determines much about the resulting Alien creature that is born. From the regular human host, you get the typical Xenomorph Drone with a black carapace. A Xenomorph Runner is produced when the host is any quadruped, it has a red carapace and will itself be a quadruped. The PredAlien results from a predator host.

The PredAlien is perhaps the most vicious as it will implant the Chestburster embryos straight into the host and usually the host is a pregnant woman. Several Chestbursters will feed on the unborn baby and then burst forth from the host’s abdomen, killing her in the process.

Because this was the most gruesome part of the Alien life-cycle it has generated quite a following of its own. It has been referred to in numerous television shows, books, magazines, and movies. It has become part of mainstream pop culture, even more so than the Alien movies themselves. One such referencing, which is rather comedic, is in the BBC Comedy Series Coupling (May 2000 - June 2004.) In one episode, a main character is pregnant and the father of the child refers to the impending birth as the “John Hurt moment.” And the scene is also referenced in the 1999 Film Dogma.

Not only has it been referenced, but there are a number of products that have been based on the Alien Chestburster. There are figurines, action figures, T-shirts, Lego pieces, and of course costumes! If you want a cute, friendly Facehugger or Chestburster there are plush toys.
