The Creation of Ganesha Goddess Parvati, the consort of Lord Shiva, wished to take a private bath. She asked Nandi, one of Shiva’s most loyal followers, to stand guard outside her bathing area.

The Incident

One of the earliest and most notable cases investigated by Project SAUCER involved a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold. After landing in Yakima, Arnold shared his extraordinary sighting with fellow pilots, who speculated that he might have witnessed guided missiles or a new aircraft under development by the U.S. Army. After refueling, Arnold proceeded to an air show in Pendleton, Oregon. The following day, June 25, he was interviewed by reporters at the East Oregonian office in Pendleton. Despite initial skepticism, the reporters were persuaded by Arnold’s detailed and consistent account.

Historian Mike Dash highlights that Arnold was considered a credible witness. As a respected businessman and seasoned pilot, Arnold presented his account without embellishment or sensationalism. His detailed observations and demeanor impressed the reporters, lending significant credibility to his testimony. In a conversation with an Associated Press reporter, Arnold expressed frustration with the public's reaction, saying, "This whole thing has gotten out of hand. I want to talk to the FBI or someone. Half the people look at me as a combination of Einstein, Flash Gordon, and screwball. I wonder what my wife back in Idaho thinks."

Background of the Project

The exact origins and formal designation of Project SAUCER are somewhat ambiguous. Some sources suggest that General Nathan Twining, Commander of the Air Technical Services Command, initiated the project on December 30, 1947. The primary goal was to collect and assess information on UFO sightings that might pose a national security threat. Captain Edward Ruppelt later claimed that Project SAUCER was an informal name for what was officially known as Project SIGN, which was given high priority. However, another account from a Project SIGN employee suggests that Project SAUCER actually began in 1946, under its informal name. Due to limited data and information, many aspects of the project remain unclear.

Results

Ultimately, Project SAUCER did not uncover any evidence supporting the existence of extraterrestrial technology.

Unseen Shadows: Exploring the World of Ghosts and Spirits

-

Ghosts, often referred to as spirits, are believed to be the souls of deceased humans or animals who, for various reasons, have not transitioned to their designated afterlife. These souls linger on Earth, unable to move on. The term "ghost" generally refers to a spirit that remains on the earthly plane after death, rather than progressing to the afterlife. Typically, ghosts inhabit a realm known as The Veil, although they occasionally manifest in the physical world. The appearance of ghosts can vary greatly—from being completely invisible to taking on translucent, wispy shapes or even appearing as life-like as they once were in life. A ghost is essentially the spirit of a person who, for one reason or another, could not cross over to the next life or whose eternal rest has been disrupted. Ghosts aren't inherently good or evil; their behavior largely reflects who they were during their lifetime and the circumstances of their death. In cases of particularly malevolent spiri...
