The enigmatic world of UFO sightings has captivated the imaginations of people around the globe for decades. Among the notable cases, the Holloman Air Force Base incident of May 1965(?) stands out as one of the most intriguing and controversial. Recently, filmmaker James Fox shed light on this incident, revealing the existence of full video footage that allegedly captured the landing of UFOs and the presence of alien entities. However, the government’s failure to release the complete footage has only added to the enigma surrounding this historic event.

The Holloman Incident: A Significant UFO Sighting:

Holloman Air Force Base, established in 1942 and located in New Mexico, became the epicenter of an extraordinary alleged event in May 1965. According to James Fox, the filmmaker behind the revelation, three unidentified flying objects landed at the base, leaving witnesses in awe. This encounter quickly gained attention due to the potential evidence it provided regarding extraterrestrial life.

The Promise of Authentic Footage:
Albert “Al” Emenegger, a filmmaker working on a documentary about UFOs, was promised access to the authentic footage of the Holloman incident by United States Air Force officials. Emenegger claimed that the footage depicted alien visitors emerging from the craft and interacting with the US military. Although initially skeptical, Emenegger was assured by the Air Force that the footage was genuine. However, he was only allowed to retain a mere eight seconds of the footage.

Government Secrecy and Controversy:
Despite the promises made, the US government failed to release the full footage of the Holloman incident. Speculation suggests that the Nixon Administration, eager to appear strong in the scientific field for the upcoming 1972 re-election campaign, initially allowed the footage to be used in Emenegger’s documentary. However, as the Watergate controversy deepened, the government pulled back, keeping the complete footage hidden from public view.

The Intriguing Documentary and the Mysterious Eight Seconds:
The resulting documentary, “UFOs Past Present Future,” released in 1974, captivated audiences with its exploration of unidentified flying objects. After subsequent updates and edits, the film was re-released as “UFOS: It has Begun” in 1976 and 1979, featuring Rod Serling as the host. The documentary showcased reenactments and illustrations, aiming to tell the story of the Holloman incident. However, it is the elusive eight seconds of footage that have fueled much speculation. Some claim that the object seen in these seconds is one of the UFOs, capturing the moment of its descent towards the base.

Continued Enigma and Independent Investigations:
To this day, the full video footage of the Holloman incident, including the alleged sighting of alien entities, remains unreleased. The government’s decision to withhold this evidence only amplifies the mystery and controversy surrounding the event. However, independent researchers and UFO enthusiasts continue their quest for the truth. Notably, the YouTube channel “Here Suddenly” has conducted impressive research and analysis of the available details, shedding new light on the Holloman incident.

The Holloman Air Force Base UFO incident of the mid-60s continues to fascinate and perplex both believers and skeptics alike. The promise of authentic footage, the subsequent government secrecy, and the ongoing search for answers have turned this event into an enduring enigma. While the complete truth may still elude us, the Holloman incident remains a significant chapter in UFO history, reminding us of the enduring allure and mystery surrounding unidentified flying objects.

I want to bring to your attention an important upcoming documentary that focuses on a significant yet often underrepresented aspect of American politics: the role of Black women. The film, titled “Dear America, A Letter From Black Women,” is part of The Dear America Project and aims to highlight the contributions of Black women in shaping political landscapes throughout U.S. history.

Project Ready, the nonprofit organization behind this initiative, is embarking on a national tour featuring short film pre-screenings accompanied by panel discussions and special guests. The goal of this campaign is ambitious—securing pledges from 100,000 Black women to commit to voting in what is shaping up to be a historic election.

The timing of this documentary could not be more relevant. As we navigate a pivotal moment in our political history, especially with a Black woman running for president, the film’s exploration of Black women’s narratives is crucial. Shennell Barnes-McCloud, the CEO of Project Ready, states, “This film not only amplifies silenced voices but also serves as a call to action to mobilize our community.” This gives the project a sense of urgency in encouraging civic engagement.

“Dear America” promises to be a crucial commentary on the experiences of Black women, featuring voices from various scholars, activists, and changemakers such as Hill Harper, Dr. Martin Luther King III, and LaTosha Brown. The documentary aims to bring to light the untold stories that often define the struggles for rights and justice faced by Black women throughout history.

The tour will make stops in cities including Chappaqua, Durham, Newark, Atlanta, and New Orleans, creating opportunities for community engagement and discussion. For those interested in exploring the pivotal roles of Black women in America’s political narrative, the screenings will offer a platform for reflection and conversation.

As a film enthusiast, I am looking forward to the insights this documentary will provide regarding the historical and contemporary significance of Black women in politics. It’s an important topic that deserves more attention, especially during this historic election season.

If you are interested in attending a screening, you may want to keep an eye on Project Ready’s website for RSVP details as more locations are announced.

“Dear America: A Letter From Black Women” is an insightful project that holds the potential to both inform and inspire action. For those of you looking for ways to engage with important civic initiatives this election season, this documentary represents a noteworthy opportunity.
