The Unhidden Foundation just released a 50-page medical literature review documenting injuries allegedly caused by encounters with UFOs. And this is the first comprehensive medical analysis of its kind, authored by a physicist and reviewed by a medical advisory board, including neuropsychologists, psychiatrists, and clinical psychologists. And we're going to get into all of that here today. As always, I'm here to report the information without bias, and you can decide what to believe. You can find all the sources in my detailed articles at UFONews.co, along with in the description box below.

I'm Cristina Gomez, and welcome to this episode of UFO News Updates. The report examines documented cases where people suffered burns, neurological damage, heart problems, and other measurable injuries after claiming encounters with unidentified craft. And these are not anecdotal stories. These are medical cases with hospital records, disability benefits, and government documentation. The findings suggest a gap between what the government knows about UAP health effects and what civilian doctors can access to treat patients.

This medical literature review, with a foreword by Dr. Jacques Vallee, one of the most respected researchers in this field, brings up several things. And these findings are very striking. First, UFOs are real. This is confirmed by the U.S. government reports and acknowledged in documents prepared for the UK government. Second, UFOs can affect human health, demonstrated through evidence from government-commissioned research. And the likely mechanisms of injury include exposure to radiofrequency, electromagnetic radiation, autoimmune conditions, physical wounds, and psychological trauma as well. But here is the critical finding. Civilians and their doctors lack access to knowledge about UFO health effects.

Betty Cash describing her experience after encountering an unidentified craft in Texas back in 1980: "I kept screaming for Betty to get back in the car. So finally, she come to get back in the car. And when she caught a hold of that handle, it burned her ring into her finger. That car was that hot. They all had stomach aches. They all had diarrhea. They all vomited. They were all burned. They all developed sores later. They all lost some hair. Mrs. Cash, most of her hair, Mrs. Landrum less, and the boy even less. But in each case, something happened that is typical of radiation exposure. My eyes were burned so till they swelled till I couldn't hardly see. I couldn't see how to read or watch TV or do nothing. And every time I'd get out in the sun, it'd be big blisters and I had sores all over my arms. After this happened to me, well, I couldn't work. I didn't have no friends to talk to."

That was Betty Cash describing her experience after encountering an unidentified craft in Texas back in 1980. She, along with Vicki Landrum and seven-year-old Colby Landrum, were driving when they encountered what appeared to be a diamond-shaped object escorted by military helicopters. And all three developed symptoms consistent with radiation exposure. But here's where the story takes a very disturbing turn. The report reveals a pattern of medical silence that puts patients at risk mentioned on the Weaponized podcast.

From the Weaponized podcast: "And the case officer, the casualty officer, obviously asked him, well, what happened? And Paul recalls that he would prefer to be regarded as a liar than to be thought of as mentally ill. So instead of explaining what happened, he said, I don't know. Isn't that terrible? We're supposed to be able to go to our doctors because it's a pillar of our relationship with our medical system. We're supposed to be able to go and tell our doctors everything. Intimate, embarrassing, they need to know, to coin a phrase, but not with this topic. The stigma around UAPs is so great, people would prefer to be regarded as a liar than to run the risk of a diagnosis of mental health."

This describes Paul Sinclair, who woke up with three deep puncture wounds in his back after a very strange encounter. When doctors asked what happened, he chose to lie rather than risk being labeled mentally ill. And one more point on this, which is there's a professor in France, a professor Thomas Rabeyron, the University of Lorraine. He's done some wonderful work setting up a counseling service for people who've had exceptional experiences. It's called Circe.

Continuing from the Weaponized podcast: "And he wrote a paper in 2023 where he came up with a word for this, pathologization. And he says that there's this double whammy of the experiences, seeing something frightening, something in the sky that they can't explain, and then the impact, when they try and talk to their friends and families, they're ridiculed. And when they try and access the medical system, they're pathologized and potentially go down the road of a mental illness diagnosis. They're no more mentally ill than you, me, and the gatepost. They've just seen something frightening, and the medical system can't digest that."

The report examines several well-documented cases that demonstrate consistent injury patterns. Let's walk through those most significant ones. You have the Falcon Lake incident in 1967, where you have industrial mechanic Stephon McCall encountered a disc-shaped craft in Canada, and when he touched it, the Kraft melted his glove and struck him with a blast of hot gas. He developed the famous grid pattern burn on his chest, along with nausea, headaches, and blackouts. Then you have the Rendlesham Forest incident in 1980, where US Air Force personnel John Burrows and Jim Penniston encountered a UFO at a military base. Then years later, Burrows developed heart problems that were eventually recognized as service connected disabilities.

But here's where it gets really interesting. 

Weaponized podcast: "During the surgery, right before the surgery, they got a call in the hospital, if I remember correctly, from a military doctor that knew exactly what they needed to do in this surgery, which signaled to us that there is a known problem with close proximity to UAP, and it seems to be electromagnetic effect based, but they told them exactly what to do to repair the heart injury. And I always found that fascinating."

This suggests the military has specific knowledge about treating UAP-related injuries, knowledge that has not been shared with civilian medical professionals. per insights from recent investigations reported by RDR News, Dr. Kit Green concluded that Burroughs' injuries were caused by broadband non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation, the kind associated with classified direct energy technologies and some of the more exotic components of UFO encounters documented by ATIP, run by Lou Elizondo and Jay Stratton, and AWSAP, run by billionaire Robert Bigelow.

And this brings us to a crucial piece of context. The Advanced Aerospace Weapons System Applications Program, or ASAP, this $22 million Pentagon program, ran from 2007 to 2012, studying UFO encounters and their effects on human health. One declassified report titled Anomalous Acute and Subacute Field Effects on Human Biological Tissue described 42 cases from medical files and 300 unpublished cases where humans sustained injuries after alleged encounters with anomalous vehicles. The injuries documented include burns consistent with electromagnetic radiation exposure, brain damage and neurological effects, heart palpitation and cardiac issues and autoimmune conditions.

Speaking about Whitley Strieber's contribution: "One of the people who was generous with his time for the report was Whitley Strieber. So we had an hour with him and he shared some private correspondence with his neurologist, particularly around the white matter around his chordate putaman, which was interesting and we've included that in the document. I think he's a very thoughtful and balanced individual when it comes to the question of intent. He talks about some very intrusive procedures that he recalls from his experiences, and he's very balanced as to whether they meant to do it or whether they didn't know what they were doing. And I think the question of intent is particularly difficult, isn't it, when we don't know who the entities or the organizations who may be carrying this out. back to the point around the medical interpretation of this, which is whatever the patient needs and that being the priority, it's not the cause, it's the effect and the consequence of that effect."

The disconnect here is stark. The latest AARO report from November of 2024 states that they receive no reports involving adverse psychological or health effects during their most recent reporting period. Yet civilian researchers are documenting cases that suggest otherwise. And this creates a very dangerous gap. First responders, emergency room doctors and general practitioners may encounter patients with UAP related injuries without any framework for understanding or even treating them.

From the report: "When I tried to share that with friends, colleagues, other physicists, you get that look, John, you've gone all conspiracy theory on us. And this stigma and shame around the topic is horrendous. Yingling and Yingling, in a paper from last summer, August 2024, report that 69% of university academics are fearful of carrying out any research related to UABs because they're worried about ridicule and shame. So the research doesn't happen."

Do you think the medical community should take these cases more seriously? And what would it take to reduce the stigma from reporting unusual medical symptoms? Leave your thoughts in the comments below. I'm Cristina Gomez and that is it for today. I will see you tomorrow for another UFO News Update at 10 a.m. PST.
