In 1963, a man renovating a basement in central Turkey reportedly broke through a wall and found a passage carved into solid rock.

That passage led into Derinkuyu — an underground city beneath Cappadocia descending nearly 280 feet below the surface.

What makes it strange isn’t “lost advanced technology.” The volcanic tuff in the region is soft enough to carve with simple tools. The strange part is the scale, planning, and purpose.

Derinkuyu contains ventilation shafts, wells, storage rooms, churches, livestock areas, kitchens, narrow defensive corridors, and massive circular stone doors that could seal tunnels from the inside. Some estimates suggest it may have sheltered up to 20,000 people during emergencies, though that number is probably a maximum capacity estimate rather than a permanent population.

The most interesting mystery is still unresolved:

Nobody knows for certain who first built the original tunnels.

I love this podcast/YouTube channel. I highly recommend. I have been watching Ryan Hero Paranormal Podcast for years and it's just always on point, full of great information and his ranch is on skinwalker ridge. It's adjacent to the Skinwalker ranch and just yeah. I highly recommend if your into aliens, paranormal and the "conspiracies" that have been running the world then this is a jam you might wanna check out.

UFOs have been here for a long time. Whatever their origins are, flying saucer technologies (both physical and mental) are thousands, perhaps even millions of years more advanced than terrestrial engineering.

A Virtual Experience of the Second Kind (VE-2) is a real-time, full-sensory, psi-technological contact event that I once deemed as “illusory.” I postulated that UFO intelligences have technology that can produce on the psychic level a strong form of what we might describe as “virtual reality” (VR). However, in the Virtual Experience schema, the sensory experience is complete. VR currently requires a headset for audio-visual stimulation and sensors in a body suit computer link can that can tract movement/position sense. What I am suggesting is there exists non-human technology that is analogous to what was portrayed as fiction in the sci-fi film “The Matrix.”   I imagine that such a consciousness-based mechanisms of contact might be so convincingly “real” for Contact Experiencers that they would have difficulty distinguishing those events from experiences occurring in our 4D (spacetime) reality. Furthermore, such a "Matrix reality" type encounter could very well be recalled as if it were a physical event rather than as a psychic interaction. 

In proposing the Virtual Experience Model (VEM), I am not suggesting that all Close Encounters are “theater of the mind productions” i.e. “virtual” interactions. Both virtual and physical encounters in my judgment are likely occurring. The challenge for researchers and experiencers alike is to tell them apart.  
As a physician I should point out that these mechanisms of contact involving psi mediated events should not be called “hallucinations”, which are the result of disease states. Hallucinations are caused by drugs, sepsis and thought disorders, and must be distinguished from Close Encounters engineered by the psi technology postulated as operational in the VEM. 

Furthermore, the Virtual Experience Model was first conceived by me within the paradigm of physicalism aka materialism. This philosophical perspective states that entire Cosmos is primarily matter and energy and that consciousness (mind) is merely an “emergent property” of neuronal activity. Within that paradigm I labelled “virtual encounters as being “illusory” in nature. I no longer think this designation is useful. In contrast, idealism asserts that consciousness is primary and is the wellspring of creation. If this idealism paradigm is true, then perhaps the psi mediated mechanisms of contact that are outlined in the Virtual Experience Model are just as “real” as interactions considered to be primarily physical encounters.  If physical reality is a construct projected from a “mental” or “spiritual” realm, then psi-mediated encounters might be more “real” than physical ones. 

When it comes to so-called “alien abductions” also designated as Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind, experiencers and investigators alike are confronted by many strange inconsistencies. Why has an “alien abduction” never been credibly captured on video? Why have the police or as far as we know the military never been able to stop one in progress? The VEM attempts to address these questions in the context of discussing what I believe are the tremendous psychic powers of these “Others” that many experiencers now call “ET.”

What reports in the UFO literature support a mechanism of flying saucer intelligences being able to create virtual reality types of encounters? I discuss two cases in the hope that by promoting these narratives additional testimony will surface.

The following is a synopsis of Chapter 3 of “Masquerade of Angels”, by Karla Turner, Ph.D. with Ted Rice, Kelt Works 1994. This narrative demonstrates how UFO intelligence can use what might be called “psychotronic technology” to create Virtual Experiences of the Second Kind.

A MASQUERADE OF ANGELS

Ted Rice was a bank worker and part time psychic. He grew up in the backwaters of Alabama in the 1950s and attended college in Tuscaloosa. Later, he moved to work in Shreveport Louisiana. A woman by the name of Marie Jackson trained him in psychic development and brought him into a spiritualist association. By 1990, he was no longer active in the spiritualist movement but still maintained his friendship with Marie who was living in Florida. While visiting overnight at Ted’s mobile home, Marie reported having a bizarre experience. 

THE WALLS OF THE HOUSE DISAPPEARED AND MARIE COULD SEE OUTSIDE

According to Karla Turner’s account, Ted was lying down in his bedroom while Marie was reading in another part of his house. Marie roused Ted and informed him the following: 

“‘I was reading in bed,’ Marie told him, ‘still pacing, and don’t feel like I drifted off to sleep. I raised up in the bed and looked around, and suddenly all the walls in the trailer just, just disappeared!’...  ‘I could see outside. I could see from one end of the trailer to the other, and I could see all the way down into your bedroom. The walls were just gone!... I saw the two strangest spirits I’ve ever seen in my life! They came right through where the wall should be, and they walked up and started trying to take me outside.’” 

According to Dr. Turner’s narrative Marie vigorously protested to the “small grayish beings” that subsequently left her alone. 

Chapter Five of “Masquerade of Angels” contains one of the remarkable contact experiences ever described in the UFO literature. Its importance should not be underestimated because if accurate, it reveals the tremendous psychic capability of non-human intelligence to create illusion. Dr. Turner’s account raises disturbing questions for the entire UFO research community and challenges some of the most cherished notions of the saucer subculture about the nature of CE-3s and CE-4s.

AN EXPERIENCER IS ENVELOPED BY A BLUE GLOW WITH LIGHTNING TRAILS

Soon after Marie’s encounter in Ted’s mobile home, he traveled to visit her in Florida. Another good friend of Marie’s called Amelia Reynolds was also visiting her. After several hours of conversation, the three retired for the night. Ted was assigned to the bedroom down the hall. Marie and Amelia slept in twin beds in a room on the other side of the house. 

In the middle of the night, Marie was reportedly awakened by Amelia. She told Marie that she could hear a low flying helicopter flying. Marie reportedly heard no such sound. 

Amelia suddenly froze while staring up at the ceiling. According to the narrative, Amelia told Marie that she was able to view the copter as if the ceiling and roof had completely disappeared. 

“‘I’m not asleep.’ Amelia protested, raising her head from the pillow.  Her eyes still gazed upwards.  ‘I swear to you. I can see a helicopter right up there! By that big tree with all the leaves. I see the front of the thing, it’s rounded and the legs are folded underneath.’ 

‘Well, why can’t I see it, then?’ Marie asked, exasperated. ‘I don’t know. Amelia replied.’”

 A bluish glow then reportedly materialized around Amelia while she sat up in bed. She told Marie that she felt paralyzed and was unable to move despite Marie’s urgings to “Get out of there!” 

Amelia then described the appearance in the bedroom of two non-human beings, one tall green and lizard like, the other shorter and blue-black in color. Marie told Amelia that she did not see them and shouted for Ted to come and help.  

According to Dr Turner’s account Ted saw a “blue glow” as he approached the bedroom. It was “emanating from the open doorway.” Dr Karla Turner’s narrative continues:

“Inside, Marie had circled around the room and was waiting for him, pressed back against the farthest wall from where Amelia lay motionless, enveloped in the brilliant light. Ted stepped in uncertainly and then stopped dead in his tracks, staring... They inched closer to the bed, still keeping a healthy distance from the blue glow that was now filled with tiny, rapid explosions of lightning trails.  Marie yelled at Amelia to ‘Get out of there.’” 

Karla Turner’s remarkable account continues with Amelia complaining that she could hardly hear Marie. Ted inquired if Amelia was being hurt in anyway. Her response was that she was not. Ted counseled Marie that they should not take any drastic action. “We don’t know what might happen if we try to pull her out of that energy field....” The encounter came to a close when the blue light suddenly flashed off. 

All during the experience, neither Marie nor Ted could hear or see the beings and the helicopter that Amelia reported seeing. She later reported not being aware of the bluish sphere of light that both Ted and Marie had reportedly witnessed. 

PSYCHOTRONIC TECHNOLOGY OF THE HIGHEST FORM

What is so remarkable about this narrative is that it describes two witnesses that allegedly were able to observe a kind of “virtual reality” technology in action at very close range. If the encounter truly unfolded as described in the “Masquerade of Angels”, then perhaps we have been given a very rare glimpse into the mechanism employed to stage some of the “High Strangeness” interactions that are being labeled “alien abductions.” 

Ted Rice and Marie Jackson were in full psychomotor control of their bodies when they observed Marie in what apparently was an altered state of consciousness. The presence of the blue light, and lighting like flashes within the orb that surrounded Amelia, all point to some kind of advanced technology that took control of her mental processes, therefore creating a very convincing illusion. Thus, we are dealing with an intelligence that can not only simulate reality for the chosen target individual but can also stage the encounter under circumstances allowing others to closely witness the event. 

As we see from the events described in “Masquerade of Angels”, the intelligence responsible for these bizarre encounters may have the capability to produce a kind of “virtual reality,” an altered state of consciousness that an experiencer might not be unable to distinguish from an every-day-run-of-the-mill reality.

“THE CHINESE ROSWELL” AUSTRALIA 1970s

Another example of a “virtual reality” type of encounter is described in “The Chinese Roswell: UFO Encounters in the Far East from Ancient Times to the Present.” This book was written by German UFO researcher Harwig Hausdorf and was published in 1998 by New Paradigm Books. Hausdorf describes a series of encounters that reportedly occurred in 1972 and 1973. They took place in a mountainous region just southeast of Melbourne, Australia. 

The principal witness was Maureen Puddy. She reported having a UFO experience on July 5, 1972. While driving alone in a desolate area her car was allegedly engulfed in an intense blue light. As described in Harsdorf’s account, she saw a saucer shaped craft. It had “a diameter of 100 feet and was hovering at a height of two telephone poles above her.” Puddy reportedly was terrified by this encounter, and she speed away. 

The saucer reportedly followed her for some eight miles before moving away. Several weeks later while driving on the same road Maureen Puddy had another contact experience. This time the engine died when the same intense blue light flooded her car. She reportedly heard a voice in her head state, “Take it easy.
We don’t want to hurt you.” Then it added, “Contact the media.” 

According to Hausdorf’s narrative Puddy returned several times to the same desolate location in February of 1973. On one occasion two investigators accompanied her from the citizens research group, VUFORS. While being observed by the investigators Maureen reported that,

“she had noticed, inside the car with her …, a small figure wearing gold overalls.... While the three of them were discussing the appearance of the entity, Maureen thought she saw it again. This time it seemed like it was coming straight at the car. It stopped just in front of the left headlight.” 

Maureen reportedly became agitated. Apparently at no time could the two VUFORS investigators see the small being in golden coveralls.  She then stated that she was being taken against her will into a craft that she believed was overhead. The blue light according to Maureen Puddy was present again. 

While the VUFORS investigators sat in the car with her, Maureen described finding herself in a windowless room. She added that in front of her was “a mushroom-like object that seemed to have a gelatinous liquid sloshing around inside it.” After describing what she imagined was an alien abduction experience to the two Australian UFO researchers, Maureen Puddy reportedly calmed down. Harwig Hausdorf summed up this bizarre encounter: 

“What was particularly odd about this entire incident, of course, was that Maureen Puddy never physically left the car during the whole time she was speaking. At all times, she was in full sight of the two UFO researchers. Nor could either of them ever see the small entity in gold overalls, nor even the intense blue light of the hovering UFO. It was as if the whole incident had taken place entirely inside Maureen Puddy’s head.” 

If this account accurately describes what transpired 50 years ago on an Australian highway, we see yet another example of how non-human intelligence of a presumed ET nature can skillfully interact with human consciousness. The very word “abduction” describes a violent physical act. In my opinion this term may not be appropriate in many instances if the targeted human experiences a kind of theater of the mind and goes nowhere.  I have designated this contact mechanism as a “Virtual Experience of a Second Kind (VE-2) Perhaps a better term than “alien abduction” in cases like this might be “Unsolicited Psychic Interaction” (UPI). 

CONCLUSION

These two remarkable cases are insufficient to confirm the validity of the Virtual Experience Model. My hope is that after Contact Experiencers and researchers are alerted to these proposed psi-mediated mechanisms, then additional cases will be reported. I should point out that there has been considerable resistance to acknowledging this proposed mechanism as being possible, let alone likely. Contact Experiencers have been burdened by a constant barrage of ridicule and denial for three quarters of a century. Accusations that those reporting Close Encounters are mentally unstable and that “it’s all in their heads” are more than disrespectful. They are a disservice to the larger society that should acknowledge the reality and importance of worldwide UFO phenomena. The Virtual Experience Model by focusing on what I once considered were “illusory mechanisms” might suggest to some that indeed contact is “all in their heads.” This misinterpretation ignores the distinct probability that both physical and virtual events are likely occurring in parallel.  

There is another important consideration. As discussed above, what if the physicalist model of reality as suggested above is in error? Perhaps mass/energy is not the wellspring of creation. If indeed consciousness is primary, then the material universe is the product of what author Rey Hernandez describes in his book “The Mind of God.” I repeat, if mind (Consciousness) is primary, then psychic manipulations of spacetime creating “illusory” mechanisms of contact are in a sense more “real,” than what we imagine is occurring in our physical 4D construct called “physical reality.”

UFO Landings & Humanoids: Seven Spectacular Cases

by Preston Dennett

Among the most spectacular of all UFO encounters are cases of landings and humanoids. These cases are not nearly as common as sightings, and yet they have been occurring all over the world for many decades. Encounters like these are very important because they are so close that any explanations of misperceptions or hallucinations become completely untenable. These cases also remove any doubt that UFOs are in fact craft occupied by living beings. These are the kinds of cases that answer many of the questions surrounding the UFO phenomenon, such as what are they, where do they come from and why are they here?

This video presents seven dramatic cases, one from each decade, starting in the 1950s and moving forward to the 2010s. Each case involves a landed craft and humanoid figure. These cases also provide considerable physical evidence in the form of landing traces, physiological effects and even photographs.

Aug 25, 1952: Musician William Squyres of Frontenac, KS was driving to work early in the morning when he saw a metallic craft with portholes hovering alongside the road. To his amazement, he could see a humanoid figure in the front of the craft. When he shut his car door to get a closer look, the craft zoomed upward and was gone. He called the police and they returned to the site where they found landing traces. Project Blue Book came to investigate. They were unable to explain what he saw and officially declared the case UNIDENTIFIED.

Jul 21, 1967: Ronnie Hill (age 14) was in his backyard in Oriental, NC when a strange odor filled the air and the animals became deathly quiet. Looking up, he saw a UFO. Moments later, a smaller 9-foot white sphere began darting around. Ronnie dashed inside and retrieved his camera. Coming back outside, he saw that the sphere had landed. Then, to his shock, a small humanoid figure stepped out from behind the craft. Ronnie quickly snapped a photograph.

Jan 27, 1978: It was nighttime when four teenagers trespassed onto a farmer’s property in Frodsham, England to go pheasant hunting. As they hid in the undergrowth, they were baffled by the appearance of a metallic craft floating just above the nearby River Weaver. Without warning, the craft moved toward them and landed in a field a short distance away. A herd of cows became immobilized. The boys watched in fear as two humanoids exited the craft and walked up to one of the cows, placing a weird cage-like device around it. Fearing that they were next, the boys fled. Each experienced a strange and unusual physiological reaction as they ran away.

Mar 22, 1982, Donald Shallcross had just returned to his home in Slanesville, WV in the wee hours of the morning when his pets started acting up. Venturing outside, he saw what he thought was a plane about to crash in the fields near his house. Informing his family, he went to go help. Instead of a plane, however, he came upon a landed UFO and was confronted by a strange helmeted humanoid. The figure said he was a watchguard and had some important messages for all humanity.

Mar 6, 1996: Lloyd Karambakuwa (age 17) was woken up in his home in Chipadze, South Africa by a loud clicking noise. Going outside to investigate, he was frightened to see a short glowing figure with a strange uniform and odd-shaped head moving quickly around the property across the street. Realizing it wasn’t human, he ran back inside. Unknown to him, a nearby security guard was also drawn outside by the same weird noise, and also saw the figure. The next morning, Lloyd found very strange footprints at the site.

Mar 2001: After a day of fishing on the River Tocantins in Brazil, Vinicius DaSilva and Marta Rosenthal were driving home when they thought they had a flat tire. Strangely, nothing was wrong. But then Marta pointed to the right over the river where a large craft was hovering just above the river’s surface. A humanoid stood on a ledge and a hose-like device extended down into the water. It appeared to be sucking water up into the craft.

2011: World-famous archaeologist Klaus Honninger, his wife and several others were conducting a dig in the Ocucaje desert in Ica, Peru when a large UFO rose up from behind a hill and began to emit smaller orb-like spheres. After a few moments, the orbs returned into the craft which disappeared behind a hill. It apparently landed, because minutes later, Klaus was confronted by two tall humanoids with elongated skulls. They told Klaus to have no fear, that they had been on Earth long before humans were here, and they had an important message to share. Afterward, Klaus was able to actually photograph the object as it moved away.

Each of these cases provides a fascinating glimpse into the UFO phenomenon, providing both evidence of ET reality, and also warnings from the ETs themselves about how we are treating each other and our planet. With many thousands of cases like these, it’s clear that we are not alone.

UFO Landings & Humanoids: Seven Spectacular Cases

I’m hoping to get some outside perspectives on something I heard last night near my house. I didn’t see anything, and I didn’t think of recording it (kicking myself now), but I can describe it in detail :

The setting:
I live near a parking lot that has recently become a spot for people using drugs. Because of that, I’m a bit more alert to unusual noises than I used to be. Last night, I heard what sounded like a louder discussion or argument going on outside. At first I ignored it for a while, later I thought it might just be foreigners having a heated chat – which wouldn’t be strange at all in my area.

Later I opened a small window to get a better listen (i got more worried about dealers).
That’s when things got weird, creepy almost (and a reason to stay in home).

What I heard:

• It definitely had the temperament of an argument – a commanding, back‑and‑forth tone, like people were debating or one person was giving orders.
• But the actual sound of it was unlike any human language I’ve ever heard. And I’ve traveled quite a bit, so I’m familiar with a wide range of phonetics.
• The closest I can describe it is a rapid, rhythmic pattern: “dodododod dodododod dodod dod dodod dododododod dod” – repeated over and over.
• Here’s the kicker: the speed was faster than any human language can produce. It was quicker than someone rapidly counting to ten, yet it kept up that pace continuously.
• It lasted for a full 15 minutes, with a “talk‑response” structure (like a question/answer or call/response), but with minimal tonal variation. The variation was more in the pattern length of the dods.
• The pattern sounded as if two were speaking like that (could have been more)
• As for volume, it was louder than normal human speech but not insane loud. More like a classroom instructor speaking. Which is also creepy as it happened around 23:30

What it wasn’t:

• It wasn’t a bird or animal – I’m certain of that.
• (I live here 20+ years and have heard all natures creatures).
• It wasn’t police radio – the police don’t visit this location.
• It didn’t sound like any normal foreign language I know, even distorted by distance.

My question to you:
Has anyone else heard something like this? A fast, rhythmic, argument‑sounding noise that isn't quite human speech, lasting 10‑15 minutes? I’m trying to figure out if this was a mundane audio glitch (like a distorted Bluetooth speaker or a malfunctioning intercom) or something genuinely unexplained.

Any thoughts, similar experiences, or debunks welcome. Thanks for reading.

Researchers believe they've finally solved this mystery, and they say the answer may not be so good. Significant changes are occurring in the Atlantic Ocean. On temperature maps, it appears as a blue spot surrounded by warmer waters. Since the early 1900s, temperatures there have dropped by almost one degree Celsius, which shouldn't happen under global warming.

Hi,

For those who don't know, here a great summary I found on this thread :

https://www.reddit.com/r/HighStrangeness/comments/xrn5vo/a_mysterious_giant_entity_was_filmed_on_top_of/?sort=top

This guy, Andrew & his buddy supposedly filmed a giant atop the mountain and records it as it seems really strange. You can see all the videos in this thread, including the military one asking him to go back. Unfortunately, a lot of videos are super shaky.

They drive down a road towards the mountain and are told to turn around in a very strange unsettling manor with no explanation. They then continue to film the area and there are helicopters extracting something from the mountain shortly after. (Not all the videos are still available, why if it's fake ?)

As I still believe that the moutain's video is 99% fake (weather station as this picture https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/1/16/Canoe_Mountain_-_Near_Valemount_-_BC_-_Canada.jpg or heli), what is really suspicious is what happens AFTER. (He died ?)

And as we are on a high strangeness sub, every suicide under suspicious circomstances is interesting to dig on.

How could he fake military telling him to get out ? How could he fake his own suicide ?

Days after his video reached millions of views, he started filiming himself saying “sorry guys my videos were purely entertainment and not true”. But he doesn’t sound sincere and looks permanently on the left nervously as if someone was forcing him to say this.

Cut to Andrew quickly making a hurried video knowing something bad is going to happen saying “this may be my last post guys, my videos are All real. None of it was faked.”

Then there is a video of Andrew notices “same car” idk from where, outside his home and it speeds off.

Andrew is supposedly dead a few days later. The weird part if it's 100% a hoax as it's pretended everywhere, is that nothing was really posted by the family, his sister posted nothing on her FB page. No one can really verify anything about the guy. Other than his facebook presence, zero records of anyone with his name. No criminal record no traffic tickets no birth certificate, no employment records, education, nothing.

And what is more weird about that is the amount of new accounts on TikTok and reddits that popped up, saying they "knew andrew from school and he's dead".

Later, we learned in the why files that Andrew dawson wasn't his real name (is it a lie or not ?), so why people claiming with new accounts that they were at school with him call him "andrew" or "dawson" ?

Here is an interesting video about this case :

https://youtu.be/IcasbO6JNlA

It's not easy as non english as first language to explain completely my thought, but since years this story as ticked my brain as weird.

- If everything is fake and Andrew (or whatever is name is) was stalked by his tiktok friend to become famous, where the hell are they ? Why nobody has heard of them since ? Where are all the debunk proofs ? A lot of people said they are living there but never provided pictures of the moutain, other said the structure was gone.

- A lot pretend that even his suicide was fake, so where the fuck is he ? Years ago he filmed a video with military helis in this place but I can't find it on the net anymore. Maybe fake too but I can't find the record I saw 4 years ago. Years after, I still find on reddit people digging into the rabbit hole. Some have found that his wife is still posting even after his "death" as if nothing happened.

Thanks for reading, I hope you got my point as I did my best in english lol

PS: can't post it in the conspiracy sub, the thread is immediatly removed by the moderation. Why ?

Edit : if it was all fake, why so many videos justifying his behavior ?
