Remarkable for much more than its size, Bennu belonged to a rare breed of asteroids capable of revealing the essence of life itself. But just as Bennu became a beacon of promise, researchers identified a grave danger.

In July 2008, I received a phone call from a young man in his 20s who had just returned from Brazil, where he had a contact experience with a human-looking group of extraterrestrials he referred to as Nordics. In the following 15 years, I took extensive notes and recorded many of our conversations about his inventions and experiences on antigravity spacecraft belonging to either extraterrestrials or a USAF Secret Space Program (SSP) that took him to exotic locations on Earth and in outer space. In 2015, he began sending me photographs of spacecrafts he either witnessed or had been taken on.
