Investigative reporter Linda Moulton Howe discussed covered up NASA reports about a UFO destroying a rocket and anomalous data from Mars and Venus, as well as an odd military/UFO incident that suggests a "secret war" is ongoing between humans and some other intelligence.

Ranger 3 was NASA's first attempt on January 26, 1962, to land a spacecraft on the moon. The official NASA story is that Ranger 3 suffered "a series of malfunctions, principally with the spacecraft's guidance system that sent the spacecraft hurtling past the moon at much higher speeds than planned." A retired NASA JPL Flight Controller said that is a cover story made up to hide a UFO attack on Ranger 3, according to "Amy," a Denver woman who said she had numerous conversations with the former flight controller in 1990. According to Amy, what the controller learned when he had a higher clearance several years after the '62 incident was that "an unidentified spacecraft came in at twice Ranger's speed at that point, blew Ranger to smithereens, and then proceeded away at 10,000 miles per hour." NASA kept this quiet to avoid negative public reaction, he told her. Further info.

In Linda's interview with plasma physicist John Brandenburg, Ph.D., he revealed that NASA data showed that the amount of Xenon-129 on Mars indicated two large hydrogen bombs had exploded in the planet's northern hemisphere, possibly several million years ago. Similar data was found on Venus, yet NASA covered up both of these findings. "It's as if somebody just came through the solar system and wiped out every life-bearing planet that they saw," Brandenburg commented. More here.

Dozens of large to small tall trees were snapped off 20 feet above ground in Smilog Woods near Llantrisant, Wales, on February 26, 2016, after helicopters and large planes showed up between 2:30 and 3 AM above Pentyrch, Cardiff, Wales, a neighborhood some 5 miles from Llantrisant. Eyewitnesses in Pentyrch saw large UFOs in the air at the same time and later investigated evidence of snapped off trees, scorch marks, magnetic anomalies and other evidence in Smilog Woods. Linda spoke with witness Caz Clark, as well as Gary Jones of the Swansea UFO Network in Wales, about the sighting in which it seemed that the UFO was being attacked by the military craft in some kind of "secret war."

Sen. Harry Reid & UFO Program

First-hour guest George Knapp reported on the latest news on the Pentagon UFO program, including details of his interview with former Sen. Harry Reid of Nevada, one of the backers of the research. George said he'd known of Reid's longtime interest in the UFO topic, so he wasn't surprised when he found out he'd pushed for military funding to study it. Another Nevadan, Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace, won the contract to conduct the study, which ran from 2007 to 2012. Senator Reid also told Knapp that he believes China and Russia are both studying UFO materials, and the race is on to be the first to glean technology from it.
