Will Tomorrow be Disclosure Day?

 

How many times have I written those words? I first raised this issue back in 2007; this is the first published post I can find, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2007/09/stephen-greer-article.html. Since then I've returned to it again and again, and it's become one of my favourite subjects. At the bottom is the huge portal where I've collated all my work on UFO Disclosure. I've even written three books about it. So I understand if readers groan at the title of this article; "Not again, Ben, please!" Bear with me! The reason I am bringing it up this time is because of some statements made by Mark Christopher Lee, a filmmaker who specializes in UFO documentaries. Back in February Mark made a stunning announcement, that President Trump was going to make a Disclosure speech very soon. He was given a specific date, the 8th of July. This happens to be World Disclosure Day and the seventy-ninth anniversary of the Roswell Incident. He said there would also be a revealing hearing on Mayday. He knew this because of an "insider at the White House". Mark would not name his source although there has been some suggestion that it is Bob Bigelow. Mark made this statement with so much confidence, putting his reputation on the line, that I and many others did sit up and take notice, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/02/what-week-in-ufology.html and: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2026/02/third-rail-radio-programme-234.html. It even reached the mainstream media. Obviously the skeptics and backslappers did not take this prediction seriously; and they were apparently vindicated when a couple of weeks later Mark published a full, unconditional retraction and apology. He said that he had made a mistake and might possibly been used to spread disinformation. He did this in a very dignified and mature way. He did not qualify his apology at all and I respected that, despite my disappointment. Source: https://open.spotify.com/episode/1EAJKbgbsBD4MkR4fsD4wL. True to form, the backslappers would not let it go and continued to dwell on the matter long after it was necessary in my view, but that's backslappers for you.
 
However, since then there has been a major development. Mark Christopher Lee has renewed his prediction for July the 8th. What's happening is that President Trump is currently in Turkey and tomorrow he is scheduled to attend a major NATO summit. This is the first time a US president has visited the country in over a decade. This is a high stakes event and Turkey's own President Erdogan will be in talks with him. Trump says he wants closer ties with Turkey to lure it away from Russian influence. However, when he takes to the stage in Ankara tomorrow he has the alien speech prepared. He may well deliver it after his main address, in a separate event at the end of the NATO proceedings. Turkey, a powerful nation on the cusp of Europe and Asia, would be a good strategic place to reveal the truth about UFO's. The fact that it is the Roswell anniversary will add pathos to the event. It also means that the PRG won't have to shift the date, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2021/07/happy-world-disclosure-day-2021.html. Mark has made a new video about July the 8th 2026, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWYUsf8GbiA. Will it happen? Well, Mark sounds extremely confident, and that really means something when you consider his past U-turn. If he were even the tiniest bit uncertain then he would no doubt show some caution after being bitten before. This alone gives Mark's new forecast extra validity. We shall see what happens tomorrow, but it has been in my diary for a while and I will be watching closely. Should anything significant happen I will report back immediately.

Botley Road (Non-Woo-Woo)

 

Today I have a non-woo-woo article for you, very rare for me! It's one of only about a dozen I've ever written. It concerns Botley Road in Oxford. Something I seriously suspect that many people in the city have forgotten ever existed. This major throughfare is the principle traffic connection between West Oxford and the rest of Oxford. Anybody who lives in North Hinksey, Dean Court, Chawley, Cumnor and Botley are cut off from the city by all motor transport. It has played havoc with the bus routes and a number of services that normally terminate at Gloucester Green are currently tucked into a row of overcrowded and unsheltered stops by Osney Island. For example, see here for my recent trip to Swindon: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2026/06/bases-2026-disclosure-conference.html. To drive to the city centre from West Oxford is possible, but only via a massive detour all the way north along the ring road or south Redbridge and to Donnington Bridge. This situation has been going on for so long I had totally forgotten how and when it started. I had to look it up; April 2023. The original plan was a joint endeavour by Network Rail and Oxon and Oxford City Council to expand the railway station, build a new railway bridge and lower the road level so double-decker buses could pass underneath it. This was estimated to take "just a few months!" It has now been over three years. The worksite has been a mysterious collection of hoarding, direction signs and weird tunnels and pathways that keep shifting, depending on what part of the place is being attended to at the time. Every time I pass by there I have to start anew finding the correct route through the chaos. The problem was that the project hit unexpected obstacles that caused massive delays. This does happen occasionally, for another example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2013/12/mysterious-object-in-seattle-tunnel-dig.html. I regularly joke on HPANWO TV that they must have found a crashed flying saucer, but the reality is nothing so exciting. A series of water pipes had to be diverted along with sewers; these had to be kept separate to prevent contamination. There were also gas mains and electricity cables that "had not been mapped" which means nobody knows exactly where they were. That sounds strange. Were there no records? Surely the people who installed them originally could have told them. In some cases this happened a long time ago, over a century, but it is still odd to think that nobody knew where these utilities were despite the people of Oxford using them every day. No wonder it is perfectly plausible that strange creatures might live in them, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2016/10/monster-in-sewer.html. 

The contractor, with the inopportune name of "Keir" wasn't even sure if the cables were isolated and could therefore be removed safely. Strangely, the electricity company didn't know either. To work it out a number of controlled discharges were tried. All this work had to be negotiated with Thames Water and this took even more time and money. The excavation of the road was hampered by a "Victorian arch", a very old brick structure designed to protect the road from the water table. Again, there was no information available about how big this construction was and how it could be removed. The deeper dip will also require special drainage. But even the darkest night ends with the dawn and now it has been announced that Botley Road will reopen at the end of next month. It will be improved too, apparently; with proper cycle tracks and even, eventually, an extra platform at the station. The cost of the original operation was said to be £161 million but have risen to £237 million, all funded by the Department of Transport... which means we, the taxpayers. Source: https://www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/26251483.update-network-rail-botley-road-will-reopen/. I'm glad this huge construction venture will soon be at an end. Buses can once more travel to the city centre and people can drive to and from West Oxford. This saga is testimony to the old saying: to err is human, but to screw things up completely requires a committee.

The Most Reluctant Convert

 

Ever since I began following the work of David Icke I've become fascinated by people who experience a "kundalini" or spiritual emergence crisis, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2020/08/david-icke-portal.html. For these people, the experience is often not as it is depicted by the New Age. It can be unpleasant, chaotic and disturbing; but after it has happened I've never heard anybody say they wish it hadn't. One of the most interesting people to have undergone this process is CS Lewis, mostly because he is also a prolific and articulate writer and described his feelings in great detail. He wrote about it in a book called Surprised by Joy. This has been adapted into a stage play by Max McLean called The Most Reluctant Convert, and he has now made it into a film. It stars Max in the eponymous role, something he does very well. For an American actor his accent is perfect and he really gets inside the personality of his subject. I was familiar with CS Lewis as a child because his Chronicles of Narnia series were some of my favourite books; but when I grew up I took more of an interest in the man himself. In this movie Max McLean's portrayal of Clive Staples Lewis carries out a fourth wall monologue combined with drama; and often a blend of the two. He sometimes appears as an unseen character in the flashbacks to his childhood in Northern Ireland, or at school or as a student and fellow at Oxford. Living in Oxford myself I recognized the locations; The White Hart Pub on Broad Street, Queens Lane, the University Parks and Lewis' home in Risinghurst. Lewis' background was devout Ulster Protestant, yet he lost his faith as a child when his mother died and he fought in the Great War. He was a complete atheist and didn't start to question his disbelief until he was given private tuition by a very wise teacher whom he loved, William Thompson Kirkpatrick, nicknamed "The Great Knock". I expect the character Prof. Kirk in The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe is inspired by him. This is one of many intrusions of his fiction into his life story that I spotted. Despite having a very detailed and comprehensive conviction that atheo-materialism was true, he started to entertain alternative ideas. He had always described the world as full of misery and cruelty, but wondered why he thought that when there was nothing to compare it to. "I can't think of a line as crooked unless I know somewhere deep down there must be a straight line somewhere." as he puts it. At Oxford he had long discussions with his friend Owen Barfield and another he called "Tollers" who was actually JRR Tolkien, a fellow author, mystic and Catholic gnostic. This raised more questions in his mind.

It was obviously a strange experience, but CS Lewis describes this upheaval almost as a chase, with God trying to catch him and him trying to run away; this explains the title of the play and film. At the same time, paradoxically, he called this new revelation "Joy", hence the title of the book. This word distinguishes it from happiness or contentment, something that emerges from inside us instead as from outside; in this way it reminds me of my thoughts about melancholy, see: https://hpanwo-hpwa.blogspot.com/2026/03/being-sad.html. At the same time as feeling joyful he was also sad. He felt that something else he valued about the universe as he saw it was being worn away. The film does not cover it and I have not read the book, but like most people in his position, at that time, he was probably not easy to get on with. He may well have fallen out with friends and found his relationship with family become very rocky. Some of his mental breakthroughs came in strangely prosaic situations. One burst of revelation came when he was riding on a bus up Headington Hill. I've done the same many times and I've never had any sudden insights. It's a very pleasant part of Oxford, an avenue of great oaks and chestnuts with parks on either side; but I don't consider it transcendental. The final change came when he was travelling with his brother Warren to visit Whipsnade Zoo in 1931. He was sitting in a motorcycle sidecar and realized he was a Christian believer. (Lewis' biographer Alister McGrath claims this journey happened the previous year, 1930, but that the author got it mixed up. This comes from the chronology of Lewis' letters and chapel records from Magdalen College Oxford. Lewis was writing in 1955, many years later.) After that he was a regular in the congregation of Holy Trinity Church in Headington Quarry for the rest of his life, a short walk from where he lived. He was buried there when he died in November 1963. Oddly enough this happened on the 22nd, the same day as the Kennedy assassination, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2023/11/jfk-portal.html; and amazingly another esoteric writer, Aldous Huxley, also passed away that day, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2008/07/everyone-knows-what-happened-on.html. What an intriguing coincidence! The Most Reluctant Convert- The Untold Story of CS Lewis is short for a feature film, just an hour and a quarter, but it is very entertaining, well acted and has great production design. It can be rented or bought on the usual platforms (but of course I recommend getting the DVD if you enjoyed it, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/06/memory-holed-movies_0503601583.html) See: https://cslewismovie.com.

Something-Gate

 

It doesn't have a name yet. Before long it will get one, a witticism related to the topic with the suffix "-gate". What I'm referring to is a new drama scandal that has just broken out in the UFO community. Everybody is currently talking about it; and no doubt people will ask me for my opinion, seeing as I've confronted similar situations several times in my own work. However, despite all the social media noise, we know very little about it on a factual level. Yesterday Kelly Chase uploaded a video entitled Starlight Sickness, Gaslighting, Consent Engineering and How I Got Lost In UFOlogy's Hall of Mirrors. Forty-eight minutes in, she raises a personal issue that she previously referred to in a Tweet and audio short back in April. What happened was that Kelly broke all contact with her colleague Jay Christopher King when one of the female followers of their Cosmosis podcast contacted Kelly to complain that during a private conversation with her co-host in which this person revealed a lot of personal information, Jay "crossed sexual boundaries". Kelly had originally endorsed Jay and his organization, The Experiencer Group, and felt guilty. She stresses the need for ethical professional conduct at all times when counselling experiencers. She also claims to have suffered a sexual assault herself and was denied justice, and as a result found this even more traumatic. She has since talked to other women in the group about Jay's "deeply distressing" and "concerning" behaviour. Source:   https://open.spotify.com/episode/2OvK9qsGTuehjeitfn2hi8 and: https://youtu.be/7cvIzMW3xdA?si=cm3vRevZ-rOWQZ6H&t=2882. Despite this assertion, there is no record at all of Jay Christopher King being arrested by the police or being held under suspicion of any criminal offence.

The response to this matter has been exactly what always happens when the culture war reaches any institution. Kelly Chase will, regrettably, receive a torrent of online abuse from the UFO community's troll element; indeed, it has already begun on the Twitter link she posted to yesterday's video. I condemn this behaviour unconditionally and will do anything I can to prevent it. At the same time, as somebody who has been on the receiving end of slanderous false allegations, I cannot and will not conform to the politically correct foundational maxim of "believe the Woman!" A number of pundits have already closed ranks behind Kelly, especially the backslappers for some reason; maybe because this issue reinforces their own dark, cynical and misanthropic vision of UFOlogy. I will comment to the extent of saying that Kelly does not strike me as a typical spiteful mutant feminist, the kind of woman who would habitually tell lies like this about a man. I've actually held her in very high esteem. I thought her UFO Rabbit Hole podcast was one of the best out there and took positive interest in her new perspective, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/02/kellys-new-start.html. I met her at Contact in the Desert last year and had a good conversation with her, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2025/08/kelly-chase-at-citd-2025.html. Either these allegations are true or they are false; and both possibilities are very disturbing. However, despite the certainty of many current commentators, nobody knows for sure. For this reason I'm going to leave the matter there until more information comes to light. I will return to the subject after that.

Memory Holed Movies

 

Sony Playstation Store is a popular retailer that millions of people use to purchase computer games, software and other kinds of media, including films and TV programmes. I have never used it myself, but I have used similar sites like Amazon, ITunes and Vimeo; but I do so reluctantly for a good reason that I'll explain. A Facebook friend has informed me that Sony Playstation Store have started deleting some of their products. In fact 551 movies and TV series are now no longer available. By no longer available I don't just mean that they are no longer for sale; I mean that they have been deleted from the platform for everybody, including people who have already rented or bought them. The titles include such classics as First Blood, Terminator 2- Judgement Day and Bridget Jones' Diary. The reason for this is that Sony PS' licence with the distributor Studio Canal has just expired and has not been renewed. The users who paid for these products are receiving no compensation at all; no refunds, no discounts, no vouchers nothing. Users who "bought" the products are being treated as if they did not actually buy them; which in a strange way, they never did. You might think this is a violation of customers' statutory rights, even theft, and it should be; but technically it isn't. You see, when you buy an online movie it's not like buying a physical product. As an analogy, if I buy an apple from a greengrocer and walk out of the shop, the shopkeeper can chase after me and snatch the apple back, but in doing so he has to give me my money back by law. However, in the case of streaming service, all you are really buying is the right to stream the product from the site indefinitely, rather than for a fixed period of time, like with Amazon's rental. That purchase time period is indefinite, but not necessarily eternal. The platform retains the legal right to terminate that access at any time unilaterally. What's more the distributor can force them to do so. Your personal user licence agreement is therefore completely non-exclusive and revocable. Read the small print next time your given the "purchase or rent the movie" option; it's completely watertight I'm afraid. Source: https://www.playstation.com/en-gb/legal/psvideocontent/.

I know many people who do not own a DVD player and discs, paper books or even read hard copies of newspapers. They live in a bare habitat of monitors and devices that provide all their entertainment and education from remote online sources. "It's ever so convenient!" they gush. "I no longer have shelves of bulky plastic cases taking up all the room in my house." They are perfect devotees of Klaus Schwab's proclamation that "You vill own nossingk und you vill be happy." Perhaps this news from Sony PS will make them think again and realize that although those shelves might be obtrusive and make your home constrictive, they are actually very precious because they contain media in digital or print form that you have purchased in the literal sense and once it is in your hands and the money has been exchanged it is completely isolated from any interference, recall or control from the retailing body. It is totally and one hundred percent your property. They cannot take it back and they cannot alter it. In previous eras before online streaming became a thing, what Sony and Studio Canal have done would be impossible. They would just have to cope with the fact that all the people who bought their products can keep them. This is why I cherish my huge collection of books and DVD's, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2017/03/dvds-on-my-shelf.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2017/03/books-on-my-shelf-part-2.html. Short of an accident or theft or me deliberately ripping them up and shoving them down the toilet etc, these items are indestructible. Remember how oppressive regimes always ban books. When those regimes fell the books were always recoverable because inevitably somebody somewhere would have a copy that the censors will have missed. Imagine if modern technology had existed in those days! No need for flaming pyres in the street, the propaganda ministry would just need to press a button. There's more though. Even things you think you own on Netflix or Kindle, even if they are not withdrawn, they can be altered remotely without your knowledge or permission. This has happened to me, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2020/12/1984-removed-from-kindle.html and: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/03/roald-dahl-memory-holed.html. This is extremely sinister because it gives the authorities a capability to commit censorship more terrible than at any other time in history. So, please! Get DVD's, downloads and good old-fashioned paper books! I know this is tricky with movies because some home media releases aren't even doing DVD runs anymore; but the more people who buy the DVD's the more the studios will be encouraged to invest in them. People ask me why my own books aren't on e-book outlets; well, this is your answer. If you want to read Roswell Rising and its sequels then I'm afraid it's paperback or nothing, see: https://hpanwo-bb.blogspot.com/2016/08/roswell-rising-is-here.html.
