New Skinny Bob Videos

 

I've never been terribly impressed by the "Skinny Bob" videos. This viral series was uploaded in 2011 by a YouTube user known only as "Ivan0135". We know nothing about who he really is. Mike Hallowell of UFO Matrix magazine quickly spotted some continuity errors and scale discrepancies in the videos too. The channel includes four short, black-and-white clips showing a grey alien in what looks like a government facility. Other clips show multiple beings walking and running outside a country house. The narration claims that these videos are leaked film reels from Russia dating back to the 1940's, held by the famous Soviet intelligence service, the KGB. There is no soundtrack except the whirring of a projector that must have been added for effect. Source: https://www.youtube.com/@ivan0135/featured. That was all we ever found out though. The source of the films never came forward and the original media stock has never been examined. Skinny Bob was mostly forgotten after a couple of years, but some new footage has recently surfaced that has reopened the debate. This time we have three new videos uploaded to a new channel called "qtecqot"; nobody has worked out what the name means. They were uploaded over a two month period and include a lot of cryptic narration. The implication in the text and the upload titles is that the footage is brief clips of UFO close encounters from much longer reels made between 1942 and 1969. They are highly classified and published under strict anonymity. The sources are listed by name and have unusual tags such as "Tin bird", "taxi", "pace lap" and "virgin". The first and second videos include the projector soundtrack; and the first is a view out of the window of a human military aircraft. It shows what looks like a shiny, metallic ovoid UFO flying alongside. A man can be seen in the foreground wearing epaulets with insignia that looks like that of the USSR. We see a brief scene of a grey alien pointing at some strange markings on a curved metal surface and then it cuts to a similar scene to the first, except this is in colour and dated "1961". There is some Russian language text embossed in the frame; hopefully some Russian-speaker will translate these. You can hear voices on the soundtrack very faintly behind the noise of the wind and engines. There is a spinning propeller visible. The second video shows a closer shot of a silvery UFO, maybe the same one, with markings visible that resemble the ones in the first video. The object is closer to the ground and some human or humanoid figures can be seen in the background beside an aircraft hangar. The place appears to be an airport or airbase of some kind. This cuts to the scene of a fire with black smoke rising from it. There is then a beach with both humans and greys walking around, although this is a short scene in which the frame pans chaotically, as if from a handheld camera in which the operator has lost control. We then see a grey lying on the sand, unconscious or dead. This implies that the fire at the start was from an ET vehicle crash. The video ends with a scene that looks like a continuation of the original Skinny Bob collection. We see a very similar creature, walking around, lying in a bed and sitting in a chair. The third video is the longest, at 2 min 26 secs, and the most interesting in my opinion. It is entitled "interior walkthru (sic) and examination 8mm disclosure footage ufo". The first scene shows somebody shining a torch around a dark room containing objects that I cannot recognize. There are what looks like black eggs, mushrooms, a crystal ball and a dark surface with simple abstract symbols on. Together with the title I gather this is the inside of the vehicle that crashed in the previous scene, or a similar one. The final scene is the most remarkable in the series. We see a tabletop with a notepad and what looks like medical tools on it. A human has placed their hand on it and next to it is a second hand that looks similar to the human's, but obviously is not quite the same. It is thin and only has four digits, including an opposable thumb. These are much longer and thinner than on a human hand. Another pair of hands appears from the top of the frame wearing rubber gloves and places a pulse oximeter on the little finger of the alien hand. To the right of both hands is a panel of electronic buttons or switches. This film is completely silent. Source: https://www.youtube.com/@qtecqot.
 
The quality of the videos is poor by modern standards and about what you would expect from amateur cine recordings in the mid-20th century. Apart from the brief scene in the first video, there is no original soundtrack and they are all in black and white. They match the format and style of the original 2011 Skinny Bob release perfectly. What we are shown appears to be part of a visual report on a crashed UFO and the retrieval of its occupants, Roswell style; although this example appears to be in Russia. There have been numerous UFO incidents reported in Russia, by far the largest country in the world, dating back throughout its history. Most of the best evidence was gathered when it was the central state of the Soviet Union, 1917 to 1991. The collapse of that regime led to a catastrophic leak of KGB files. Its successor, the FSB, has recaptured some of them, but not all. During the 1990's most valuable items of any kind in Russia fell into the possession of gangsters; and these were then touted on the black market. For a few years, anybody could buy a top secret UFO file for the right price; and indeed some people did, see: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/04/russian-roswell-fact-or-fake.html. Therefore it is not theoretically unfeasible for these new Skinny Bob videos to be real. The problem is that without more information there is no way of knowing. Modern AI image creation is now so good that the best of it is indistinguishable from real photography. It is therefore also at least equally feasible that somebody created these videos with an image generator. Photographic evidence alone simply just does not carry the same weight that it used to. There are literally hundreds of images out there in social media similar to Skinny Bob that are proven to be faked; therefore we have a terrible signal-to-noise ratio problem. If we are seeing something real now then the publisher, through no fault of their own, is the ultimate little boy who cried wolf. Unless the creator comes forward and demonstrates what they did; or the person who found this secret movie footage goes public with the corroborating evidence, forensic examination of the reels or official documents etc, then this mystery cannot be solved.

Steven Spielberg's Disclosure Day has been released onto home media. It can be purchased or rented on digital streaming platforms like Amazon Prime, Apple TV or Fandango. Alternatively you can buy the DVD; normal format, Blu-Ray or 4K UHD. This has not been released yet, but you can reserve a copy on pre-order. Source: https://www.disclosuredaymovie.com. Regular readers will guess which one I have chosen, see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2026/06/memory-holed-movies_0503601583.html. Hopefully they will be sent out soon. Obviously, like with all films, Disclosure Day has "proliferated". Anybody who searches for a while will find illegal websites where the film can be seen for free, usually on low quality streams with an infestation of ad-ware, in violation of the filmmaker's copyright. I ask readers not to use these and to pay the people who created this brilliant work of cinematic art for the product they made for you, fair and square. I'm still not sure how Steven Spielberg's new film will contribute to what Jeremy Corbell calls "shaping the emerging UAP narrative", but we're bound to find out soon.

Janet Coaches

 

Have you ever suddenly noticed something and than as soon as you do, you cannot un-notice it? I have; unmarked white coaches. I see them everywhere. They look just like normal coaches operated by National Express or Megabus, but they are plain white with no livery. Their windows are heavily tinted. This is not totally unprecedented; some private and charter coaches have this, but it is unusual. I call them "Janet" coaches after the mysterious white airliners that fly personnel to and from Area 51, see: https://hpanwo.blogspot.com/2022/12/area-51-portal.html. I don't know what their purpose is, but they have been seen delivering guests to migrant hotels, for example see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88LNN8hp8Ns. If this is their principle service then that is worrying because there are so many of them. I see them most days when I am at work or take a journey somewhere. There must be thousands of them nationwide. Even the most alarmist and pessimistic sentinel would not agree that this country contains quite that many illegal immigrants. However, I have only seen them since the migration crisis began in the late 20-teens; unless this is just an effect of awareness. As I said, I noticed them and now I see them everywhere. Were they also there beforehand, but I just didn't notice them? Either way, these furtive vehicles have some kind of purpose. They are moving people from one place to another and they are doing it all the time. Their operator, unlike most, does not wish to promote their brand to the public. Who are they carrying? Where are they going? And why? Readers, let me know if you have seen them too.

UFO Whistleblowers Freed!

 

A news story has broken that is almost unbelievable. I had to check thoroughly to make sure it was true. Fox News has reported that President Trump has directed all US federal agencies, intelligence outfits and military forces to waive non-disclosure security regulations for whistleblowers from the UAP legacy programme. This is an action by the US president that many people in the UFO community have hoped for over the last few years, but others have doubted would ever happen. It certainly taken a long time and those of us with less patience had given up. Despite that, the content of the waivers pretty much makes up for that. They specifically refer to crash-retrievals and reverse-engineering in as many words. This policy has been initiated as a result of the continuing pressure on the Trump administration from Congress following the hearings featuring David Grusch, Lue Elizondo and other UFO experts. Source: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/long-hidden-ufo-information-center-trump-push-free-former-officials. This is not the end of the story. The NDA waivers do not completely eliminate the risk whistleblowers face; and legal campaigners like Danny Sheehan are continuing the push for full legal immunity. The UFO community has responded the way you would expect. Enthusiasts like me are thrilled and the backslappers have doubled down on their cynicism. For some reason I'm finding their negativity far less tolerable right now, probably because this should be such good news for us all; in fact it's the very absence of this kind of news that the backslappers have been moaning about for years. Yet, they have simply moved the goalposts to avoid losing their pathetic poser cred. Astral Tweeted literally hours after the story dropped: "The excuses are already starting. Now it's that UFO whistleblowers won't come forward because Trump issued a directive instead of an executive order." Patrick from Vetted ReTweeted him with the quote: "Surprise surprise." Source: https://x.com/VettedPodcast/status/2079858187411263931. There is literally no pleasing the backslappers. If Tim Burchett wheeled an alien body into a press conference they would find something to whinge about. I don't think either Astral or Patrick have any training in law; if they did then maybe they would understand that eighty years of multilayered suppression cannot be undone in a couple of hours with a single new story. Saying so is not an "excuse". I wish these backslappers would get out of their own arses! Trump has not even put it on Truth Social yet which is where he usually makes new announcements. I don't know exactly where this new breakthrough will lead, but I'm watching it like a hawk. No doubt I'll be posting updates soon.

Burnham Scraps Digital ID

 

Thank goodness! Our new prime minister has shown himself to be a great moral and conscientious leader on his very first day in office! He has announced he is scrapping Starmer's flagship digital ID scheme. I was totally opposed to this Big Brother plan. How wonderful it is that Britain finally has a prime minister we can respect and admire. He's a true patriot and freedom fighter, just like Trump and Boris were originally, but Andy Burnham will not be corrupted like they were. He will remain true to his noble cause. Source: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c5y08z25q8eo.
Er... no! I'm afraid not. I do not really think for one moment that our new fearful non-leader, the Tweedle-dee to Starmer's Tweedle-dum, is doing this out of the goodness of his heart or his love for freedom. Burnham's appointment is simply the excuse to cancel a legislative drive to introduce a database state that was unworkable and grinding to a halt, as I explain in the background links below. In this week's Third Rail Radio show I assess Burnham's new government in more detail, see: https://hpanwo-radio.blogspot.com/2026/07/third-rail-radio-programme-247.html. The fast-tracked steamrollering of Burnham into power is simply a regrouping of the WEF/EU/Deep State's agenda to turn Britain into an island prison camp, a giant Alcatraz. He is a cardboard cut-out protégé of Tony Blair. I have no doubt at all that he has something else already arranged to replace the Digital ID bill. I am ready to resist when it comes to light, just like I did before; and so should you.

Shining a Light

 

A week ago, on Monday the 13th, I had a very distressing experience, but shortly afterwards I was given a wonderful gift. It began when I entered a post office to deposit some cash. This is one of those small post offices embedded in a grocer and attended to by the shop's staff. I approached the counter and went through the usual procedure counting out the money and putting my bank card in the machine. I handed the cash over and said "There should be £120 there." The staff member then counted it out himself and replied: "No, there's only £100." I nodded, not challenging him. Although at the same time another part of my mind was yelling at me that he was plainly holding six £20 notes in his hands. As soon as I got out of the shop it hit me like an earthquake. The cashier had just paid in £100 when I gave him £120. He obviously thought he would try and see if he could fool me into being conned. He no doubt slipped one of the £20 notes into his pocket afterwards before putting the rest in the till. A series of horrible emotions ran through my head. Firstly, anger at him for his theft. Secondly, frustration at knowing that the moment I completed the transaction there is probably no way to correct it (although I have written to the Post Office to try). I also felt rage at myself. Why did I let it happen? Why was I not on my guard? This is not the first time I've been short-changed like this, far from it. In fact the number of times I've been ripped off in various ways are too numerous to list. A client still owes me £50 for a pub clean I did last year. A nightclub doorman once tricked me into paying double the entrance fee by telling me my friend had already gone in and not paid. I could go on for pages and pages. Despite all this, I still generally deal with strangers in good faith. This is the dark side of my genial nature, my "pathological bonhomie", my extraversion, my cooperative instinct. The cashier had exploited these; he had taken advantage of my personality. He is somebody who has served me numerous times and so has probably assessed me as a pushover; and is he wrong? The way I always smile and thank him, wish him a pleasant day... which I obviously will never do again. After a few minutes my anger turned to sadness. I know that I live in a society in which I will be considered the bad guy in this situation, not him. I will be chided for being so vulnerable and naive, for allowing myself to be conned; in fact I know some of you readers are thinking that right now. Those same people would probably not criticise the cashier if they ever met him; they might even congratulate him for a job well done. After all it's a "dog-eat-dog world!" isn't it? "Law of the jungle!" "Survival of the fittest!" See here for details: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2025/09/bullies-reply-to-stefan-molyneux.html and: https://hpanwo-tv.blogspot.com/2020/02/humiliation-reply-to-stefan-molyneux.html. My sadness was then topped up with a terrible sense of isolation and loneliness. The violation I had just experienced in the form of barefaced theft reminded me of how different I am to most people. I would never do such a thing to anybody else; but this doesn't make me more valuable a person in my society, it makes me more worthless. I was reminded of other betrayals I had suffered; not financial this time, but personal, for example see: https://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.com/2023/10/am-i-gate-child.html. Alienation swept over me. I was walking down a familiar street, but it suddenly felt totally foreign. I felt like I was lost, like a man in a lifeboat in a rough sea. What followed next was something I very rarely feel and hope I never feel again: despair. Maybe the nihilists are right, I thought. Maybe I've been kidding myself all these years that life has any meaning. I always believed there was some kind of non-physical intelligence around who knew who I was and is concerned for my welfare. I now found myself doubting that. Maybe nobody is out there who is on my side. I am completely alone. I am doomed to be a helpless plaything of indifferent fate and the human malevolence, that only I am so stupidly sentimental enough not to practice myself, for the rest of my pointless existence.
 
I sighed and continued walking, heading for work to do my usual jobs, but at that moment I felt I was really now just a robot, acting out a program. I reached into my pocket and pulled out my mobile phone; and, lo and behold, the torch was on! That was strange; I hardly ever use the torch and when I do, I always make sure I switch it off afterwards. It has never turned on by itself before. I stopped walking and gasped. Was this some kind of answer to my subconscious prayer, my silent cry for help? Was somebody up there shining a light on me? I didn't allow myself to continue that train of thought straight away; I had work to do and so had to remain practical for the day. I switched off the torch, put my phone away and continued my walk to work. When I got home I began researching. I looked up the technical details of my mobile phone, using Google AI to help. Sometimes my phone does things I don't intend. I have occasionally suffered the very embarrassing problem of "pocket dialling". I always keep my phone screen-locked in my pocket, but it once dialled 999 by itself simply from rubbing against my leg. The emergency number can be accessed despite the screen being locked behind a passcode. Luckily the police just called me back to check I was alright and didn't punish me. An app that often goes off accidentally is the camera; this is because I have the shortcut as default on factory settings. I would need to disable it manually and have never bothered. However, there is no shortcut for the torch on my phone. A user can add one, but I never have. In fact the only way to switch on the torch is so complicated I sometimes forget and have to search for it. I have to swipe up from the display then swipe right and then press the correct button. I am careful to keep that page open while I shine it so I can turn it off easily when I'm finished. If I don't, then a temporary shortcut does automatically appear to remind me; but this is only if the torch is already on, not when it is off. I had to check my modes and routines in settings. I only have three active modes, apart from normal function: theatre, aeroplane and sleep. None of those three have the torch listed. This means there is no way in any of the workings of my phone that the torch could possibly have gone on in my pocket. I was stunned. Strangely enough, Google AI took an open mind to the possibility of psychokinesis. Had my mental turmoil somehow caused my mobile phone to trigger the torch? To be honest I had started the dialogue by asking the AI about Dean Radin, so I had prompted it a bit. Dr Dean Radin is a parapsychologist and author who researches "mind over matter" psi phenomena at the famous Institute of Noetic Sciences. He is featured in the film What the Bleep do We Know!? talking about his work, see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RfqjyTRDj8A. He has done experiments which indicate that direct mental intent can alter the output of random number generators. Did I do something similar with my mobile phone? Possibly, if so that alone would be amazing. However, unlike Radin's system, a mobile phone is not designed to be altered by any kind of external influence; in fact it is specifically shielded against outside interference. Also, the effect Radin discovered was small compared to actually moving a hardware switch, which is necessary to turn on the torch. I did my due diligence as a researcher and eliminated "rational explanations"; so in the end I have to conclude that this is likely to be a piece of synchronicity. In the links at the bottom I give other examples. If this is synchronicity then it is the most extraordinary example I've ever experienced. It scores high on two factors. Firstly the unlikelihood, even impossibility, of the event occurring by normal means; and secondly, it happened at a moment of extreme personal significance. It was literally just a few minutes after I had left the shop and the first time I had looked at my phone following that incident. As I finished my investigation I leaned back in my chair and muttered "thank you!" Whoever, or whatever, did this for me is forever in my debt. Call it "God" or a different name, it's up to you. This is what I mean by it being a wonderful gift. If it had not happened I would have been on a downer for weeks, maybe permanently. I might have been seduced into a misanthropic and social Darwinist frame of mine myself, and decided that if I couldn't beat them I might as well join them. I could have become a thief myself; after all, why not? What does it matter? It's my victims' fault, not mine. I have been saved from that. Not that I feel total joy and delight about what was done to me. I will not be embracing the man who stole from me or blowing him kisses in the checkout queue. I am still angry and, as I said, I have written to the Post Office to complain. Actually I don't think these gifts are intended to make us appease injustice or ignore malevolent actions. However, my gift has made my torment much easier to live with. I am now £20 poorer, but I'd gladly have paid far more than £20 for this experience! This is the first time I have told anybody about what happened. I'm quite surprised at myself. Why have I not been yelling it out? I think the answer is that for me this experience is very precious and sacred, almost an intimacy between me and the universe. I felt I had to wait for the right time. It felt like the wrong time before now. I don't think I will ever forget last Monday. Its message will always be an influence on my life.
