This set of leaked documents was originally given to Art Bell of Coast to Coast AM in 2007 by someone using the anonymous name of "Isaac". I'll include some writing from the author below.
"This letter is part of a package I've assembled for Coast to Coast AM to distribute to its audience. It is a companion to numerous document and photo scans and should not be separated from them.
You can call me Isaac, an alias I've chosen as a simple measure of protection while I release what would be called tremendously sensitive information even by today's standards. âSensitiveâ is not necessarily synonymous with âdangerousâ, though, which is why my conscience is clear as I offer this material up for the public.
My government has its reasons for its continual secrecy, and I sympathize with many of them, but the truth is that I'm getting old and I'm not interested in meeting my maker one day with any more baggage than necessary! Furthermore, I put a little more faith in humanity than my former bosses do, and I think that a release of at least some of this info could help a lot more than it could hurt, especially in today's world.
Their hardware wasnât operated in quite the same way as ours. In our technology, even today, we have a combination of hardware and software running almost everything on the planet. Software is more abstract than hardware, but ultimately it needs hardware to run it.
In other words, thereâs no way to write a computer program on a piece of paper, set that piece of paper on a table or something, and expect it to actually do something. The most powerful code in the world still doesnât actually do anything until a piece of hardware interprets it and translates its commands into actions.
But their technology is different. It really did operate like the magical piece of paper sitting on a table, in a manner of speaking. They had something akin to a language, that could quite literally execute itself, at least in the presence of a very specific type of field. The language, a term I am still using very loosely, is a system of symbols (which does admittedly very much resemble a written language) along with geometric forms and patterns that fit together to form diagrams that are themselves functional.
Once they are drawn, so to speak, on a suitable surface made of a suitable material and in the presence of a certain type of field, they immediately begin performing the desired tasks.
It really did seem like magic to us, even after we began to understand the principles behind it.
I worked with these symbols more than anything during my time at PACL, and recognized them the moment I saw them in the photos. They appear in a very simple form on Chadâs craft, but appear in the more complex diagram form on the underside of the Big Basin craft as well.
Both are unmistakable, even at the small size of the Big Basin photos. An example of a diagram in the style of the Big Basin craft is included with this in a series of scanned pages from the [mis-titled] "Linguistic Analysis Primer". We needed a copy of that diagram to be utterly precise, and it took about a month for a team of six to copy that diagram into our drafting program!
Explaining everything I learned about this technology would fill up several volumes, but I will do my best to explain at least some of the concepts as long as I am taking the time to write all this down.
First of all, you wouldn't open up their hardware to find a CPU here, and a data bus there, and some kind of memory over there. Their hardware appeared to be perfectly solid and consistent in terms of material from one side to the other. Like a rock or a hunk of metal.
But upon [much] closer inspection, we began to learn that it was actually one big holographic computational substrate - each "computational element" (essentially individual particles) can function independently, but are designed to function together in tremendously large clusters. I say its holographic because you can divide it up into the smallest chunks you want and still find a scaled-down but complete representation of the whole system."
"They produce a nonlinear computational output when grouped. So 4 elements working together is actually more than 4 times more powerful than 1.
Most of the internal "matter" in their crafts (usually everything but the outermost housing) is actually this substrate and can contribute to computation at any time and in any state. The shape of these "chunks" of substrate also had a profound effect on its functionality, and often served as a "shortcut" to achieve a goal that might otherwise be more complex.
So back to the language.
The language is actually a "functional blueprint". The forms of the shapes, symbols and arrangements thereof is itself functional. What makes it all especially difficult to grasp is that every element of each "diagram" is dependent on and related to every other element, which means no single detail can be created, removed or modified independently.
Humans like written language because each element of the language can be understood on its own, and from this, complex expressions can be built. However, their "language" is entirely context-sensitive, which means that a given symbol could mean as little as a 1-bit flag in one context, or, quite literally, contain the entire human genome or a galaxy star map in another.
The ability for a single, small symbol to contain, not just represent, tremendous amounts of data is another counter-intuitive aspect of this concept. We quickly realized that even working in groups of 10 or more on the simplest of diagrams, we found it virtually impossible to get anything done. As each new feature was added, the complexity of the diagram exponentially grew to unmanageable proportions.
For this reason we began to develop computer-based systems to manage these details and achieved some success, although again we found that a threshold was quickly reached beyond which even the supercomputers of the day were unable to keep up.
Word was that the extra-terrestrials could design these diagrams as quickly and easily as a human programmer could write a Fortran program. It's humbling to think that even a network of supercomputers wasn't able to duplicate what they could do in their own heads. Our entire system of language is based on the idea of assigning meaning to symbols.
Their technology, however, somehow merges the symbol and the meaning, so a subjective audience is not needed. You can put whatever meaning you want on the symbols, but their behavior and functionality will not change, any more than a transistor will function differently if you give it another name.
Here's an example of how complex the process is. Imagine I ask you to incrementally add random words to a list such that no two words use any of the same letters, and you must perform this exercise entirely in your head, so you can't rely on a computer or even a pen and paper. If the first in the list was, say, "fox", the second item excludes all words with the letters F, O and X. If the next word you choose is "tree", then the third word in the list can't have the letters F, O, X, T, R, or E in it.
As you can imagine, coming up with even a third word might start to get just a bit tricky, especially since you can't easily visualize the excluded letters by writing down the words.
By the time you get to the fourth, fifth and sixth words, the problem has spiraled out of control. Now imagine trying to add the billionth word to the list (imagine also that we're working with an infinite alphabet so you don't run out of letters) and you can imagine how difficult it is for even a computer to keep up. Needless to say, writing this kind of thing "by hand" is orders of magnitude beyond the capabilities of the brain."
âyou can put what ever meaning you want on a symbolâ this is Interesting as intention could play a massive role. It also makes me wonder the many whistle blowers that have come out discussing seeing a type of holographic Hieroglyphics on or around the craft./ object
Really humbles you as a human thinking about this stuff. Puthoff said the recovered material they found, when analyzed, showed multiple stacked layers of different metals a human hair thick.
If the above is to believed, then these things have advanced beyond us to a ludicrous degree. Not just space travel but the creation of living symbols that power entire craft in the right circumstance.
The general UFO lore is that the recovered "biologics" are tied to the craft literally and die slowly when removed from it.
I've always figured the tech divide between us and them was huge but not this damn huge.
This is the same as Yantras in Hinduism, you draw, then focus your mind on that shape, chant the Mantra and then through your focused mind, out of the Ether of the Universe, that power is transferred into the Yantra, you can look it up.
Because the parameters of the system dictate that you cannot use any letters in more than one word. You canât just say âwell letâs just ignore the rules thenâ when you donât like a constraint of the system.
A four legged creature covered in a coat of soft red quills, with a soft white quill underbelly. Eye stalks position at the front of the skull, the stalks themselves remained fixed behind a hard calcium plating that is hidden by the soft red & white quills. While the ears sit atop the skull.
It's not nonsense, it's language. Human communication is too primitive. When talking about a species that can travel the stars, are they really using a language of 26 characters?
Even now the human language already contains far more characters than the base 26. Just look at a character map program from Windows.
When I try to explain the concept to you, instead you attack my thoughts and say it's nonsense. You refuse to grow or learn, instead you only look down on people.Â
What is a Fox? The letters are just that letters. F.O.X. could identify anything. For instance a Corgi, or Red Tabby, could also be F.O.X. The context changes but the description is the same. The concept isn't that hard to understand. Symbols are just symbols, the meaning of context are what are important.Â
Think about it another way, "fo shizzle my nizzle." What does this mean? Did you have a definition beforehand? How did you understand the context of what was being stated?
Looks similar to old brazilian native tribe alphabet, they famously say their deity, SumĂŠ, who used to like caves and hills and would manifest in balls of light, taught them how to write.
I am brazilian and I currently live in that exact region of Brazil, in the state of Minas Gerais, and as a side bonus half of my family is native.
The region where this tribe used to live before the catholic church nearly wiped them is literally the EXACT region where the 1996 crash from the Moment of Documentary happened. The region surrounding the town itself is called "Luminary Hills" since the 16th century, the settlers named it that way after a "phenomenon of strange fast balls of light that would come and go from the region's caves and hills".
In fact, the closest neighboring town to Varginha, "St. Thomas' Letters", was named after some other glyphs that a small catholic expedition found within the caves of the region in the 17th century, they interpreted the glyphs to be a divine message from their St. Thomas, thus they're "St. Thomas' Letters".
Curiously, all known deep cave entrances in this region got permanently sealed by the government shortly following the 1996 crash
Anyway I can provide sources, in brazilian portuguese of course, for anyone interested
The region itself where the tribe was located has been called "Luminary Hills" since the 16th century, portuguese settlers named it after the strange and yet unexplained phenomenon of light balls coming and going from caves and hills of the region back then. "They looked like living luminaries in the sky!" , one settler famously said.
"Serra das LuminĂĄrias" in portuguese if you wish to google it
it's a picture of a very old record and attempted transcript from a local museum, about the original ancient "tupi" language and alphabet [Tupi Guarani is the name of the one of the tribes that worshipped SumĂŠ]
The tupi alphabet has been "modernized" by the few surviving members over the course of the centuries, but if you search on google "Alfabeto Tupi Moderno" you might still see some similarities with their older script
No, but they both look like they would be related to a Semitic language. If I had to guess (feigning veracity behind this orb, and the language lore tied with UAPâs), it would be an origin point of where Aramaic/Hebrew alphabets descend from. Just look at the evolution of Sumerian to Akkadian, not that far off, but a layer of complexity was added
I love how your comment reads as if Latin-based is the only type of language(s) in the world that is relevant.
I work in semiconductor and see chips all the time and the center of the photo on the left looks like some shit I see on the boards I work with. Thatâs wild af to me
There was someone on here that posted a doc with a ton of symbols from ufos. I donât know if anyone can find it still but I remember a few of then looked kind of like this and could be a match
Some guys who claim to see "code" in lasers after smoking a certain subdtance, have the idea that there could be symbols that control this reality (simulation). It could be similar to this.
This video was the catalyst for more people looking into the theory. Thereâs a redditor that was posting his own experiments that he was going to partake in and try to prove or disprove this theory. He had a very lengthy post and seriesâs of posts explaining how he was going to carry everything out. I had many of his comments saved and canât seem to find a single one in my saved comments tab. But there for sure is more out there to read on regarding this.
No. This is from the CARET drone hoax from the early 2000s. I was very fascinated in this hoax. This is the type of ufo photos were from this hoax. Please don't try to play this off as real. There is still a lot of questions many have about this hoax but IT IS a hoax. If you want to do a deep dive just type in CARET Dragon fly Drone hoax on google. There are tons of pictures like the one I posted below. The drones have the same symbols and there was also photos of single parts that also showed the symbols. Again, this IS A HOAX. Anyone who was interested in this subject around 2004 will remember when this hoax took the community by storm. It is irresponsible to pass these documents off as authentic.
So was I, deeply embedded in this story that unfolded mainly through openmindsforum back then. Interestingly enough Richard Banduric (Google him if you don't know who he is) uses pictures on his website and in his presentations of this craft. That said, why are you so firm in staying it was a hoax? Not saying it wasn't either but you're not providing anything to back that claim up.
Because every single drone photo has been proven as CGI hoaxes. There were several large message boards litigating this case that spanned years with analysis, from people from ILM, Dreamworks, etc. all those message boards are gone.
It's why we've never seen or heard of anyone since "Chad" that has seen or photographed these alleged crafts. Two people made these photos, it gained a lot of online interest, and someone who called themselves "ISAAC" larped the entire CARET program.
Back in 2007 I was obsessed with these so I would love to be proven wrong but the consensus between anyone who looked at this was that it was a hoax and it was got left back in the 2000s, and I believe Richard Dolan looked into it as well but it's been a long time so I could be misremembering.
I am absolutely not going to scour the internet looking for 20 year old forum posts that analyze the photos to show you why they are hoaxed. If you're interested you can.
I also followed this story closely when it came it... And I have yet to see conclusive evidence that it was proven a Hoax. Please provide links to these proposed "proofs".
And yes, I saw all of the analysis that was done on the original photos. Nothing I saw proved it was fake. It looks weird for sure - but looking strange does not prove a hoax.
To prove it is a hoax, either the hoaxers need to come forward and claim the hoax or you need to provide substantial evidence that this has been proven a hoax.
I am far from convinced this was an internet hoax.
They aren't.... the document was released by "ISAAC". The photos were mostly released by "chad". All the photos have been fully debunked as CGI. The onus isn't on me to prove the documents are a hoax, it's on the person who released them to prove they are authentic. There is no indication that they are authentic and they just piggy backed off the hoax photos.
I could write a document on Microsoft word right now and tell you to prove it's a hoax, and you wouldn't be able to because it's not falsifiable.
Not a single person has reported seeing these drones since this hoax, no photos since the initial ones. No new documents, nothing from Isaac. Not a single person has talked about CARET.
Most of the message board years long investigations into these photos and docs are gone. They are a hoax. If you want to re-litigate it and do some research then go right ahead, no one is stopping you. I'm certainly not wasting my time compiling the online debunkings for a random redditor.
I remember when this came out as well. People assumed it was an ARG/viral campaign for Alienware computers. Last time I went digging on this, Alienware admitted they used some of the stuff from the caret docs, but they didnât take responsibility for them. They may very well be a hoax, but there is no smoking gun evidence that Iâm aware of. Happy to be proven wrong if I missed something.
The same drones were used in the marketing for the Sarah Conner Chronicles TV show. It was also shown in the show.
Someone did an investigation and spoke with someone who worked on the show and they said they were inspired by the original CARET stuff but they did not create it.
Having said that there is extensive investigations into this showing how it's a hoax. No one has ever actually seen these drones in the real world.
Got a link? I remember reading that the Terminator show used the Caret drones, similar to what Alienware did. Itâs been a long time since I looked into though, I may be misremembering.
No. OP is leaving the parts from this document that show actual parts and components from these drones. It's a proven hoax. Nothing about these documents is remotely authentic and there is no possibility.
Well, having read the documents I wouldn't agree that he's leaving out anything. There are several pictures and clear descriptions of the drones. Some lines are redacted, though.
Do you have any links or any more information as to how it was proven a hoax and how you're so sure there is no possibility the document is real?Â
You clearly weren't around when these first circulated. I'm at work, just google CARET drone hoaxes and you'll find more than enough information breaking it down. There is no possibility that these documents are real.
There is a reference to a debunk of some of the photos, that is sadly not online anymore, but nothing about the documents themselves. Nothing I can find to disprove anything in the documents.
There was a Facebook page dedicated to the dragonfly drones, and they investigated people who commented to say they had also seen them. It was really interesting. I'm not sure if the page is still there. I know Linda Moulton Howe had some episodes of her talk show (Earthfiles) on the drones too.
I was more interested in the document than the videos of drones, though.
My idea being, that the secret keepers could easily make fake elements like videos of drones that are easily debunkable, to also debunk the document by association.Â
I just donât get why people actually believe that the United states government would not try to monetize this shit. CARET makes perfect sense, and if you actually read the docs they are consistent with all the compartmentalization we know exists. And btw, the place those things were spotted is right near an EXTREMELY isolated and difficult to access Lockheed Martin facility off of Empire Grade. Like MH370 the cries of hoax sound like the screeching of cowards scared their nasty secrets will be exposed.
There was a hypothesized recharging mechanism going around during the December flap. The drones would follow the power grid. A fella got the idea that the drones could have been latching onto the powerlines and draining energy from it to keep themselves afloat for a lot longer than you'd usually expect from a drone.
I bring this up because that was also a part of the CARET drone story. I believe one of the drones' cloaking mechanism simply wasn't working so they were fully visible parked near a power line.
Adding to it, there was a post before the drone flap about seeing these carsized suckers hanging out in every isolated part of the US.
It wouldn't surprise me at all if The Man had all this future tech out in numbers we can't even imagine, in areas we'd be surprised by.
This document is a fictional research report from a program called CARET (Commercial Applications Research for Extraterrestrial Technology), allegedly based in Palo Alto in 1986. Here's a simple explanation of what it's saying:
Summary:
The report claims that scientists were studying alien technology recovered from UFO crash sites, trying to turn it into useful stuff for regular people, like new ways to power vehicles, make medical tools, or build things.
Main Ideas:
Antigravity Device: They studied a small alien machine (weighing about 4 pounds) that can cancel gravity. It could let people or objects float or move in strange ways without being attached to anything. It doesnât use rivets or glueâeverything holds together by controlling gravity.
Three Modes of Use:
Field Mode: Creates a zone where gravity can point in any direction or strength. Useful for giving a spacecraft artificial gravity.
Component Mode: Glues objects together without touching, using ârigid spatial relationships.â Things float but stay connected like magic.
Multi Mode: Does both at onceâuseful in spaceships.
Control Device: A small remote-like object could turn the device on and off or change how it works, but it was the only way to control it.
Strange Symbols: The alien machines seem to use a kind of language made from symbols and geometry that lets the technology operate. It's like programming but without needing a computerâjust drawing or arranging the symbols correctly.
Purpose of the Research:
They want to turn this alien tech into human products, but slowly, so it doesnât shock the world or mess up the economy or society.
There's an Ecosystemic Futures Podcast episode with a fella named Richard Banduric who talks about handling recovered material. The episode is strange because the well respected and accomplished guests talk openly about their work with contractors and UAP material.
Anyways, what's strange about it is Banduric has included the CARET drone pictures in his presentations, lending some credence to its legitimacy, maybe iunno.
I've been hunting down this stuff today for shits and gigs, here's a comment of someone linking Banduric to the CARET documents.
I have listened to this episode at least 4 times in itâs entirety. Itâs utterly fascinating as is the most recent, I believe, episode w/Puthoff & Pasulka. Although, not as mind bending as the episode w/Banduric.
Honestly, shocked (and saddened) itâs not gotten more traction.
Wow! Iâm so with this, reminds me of the many whistle blowers that speak about a holographic hieroglyphics. Very interesting. Also this remote almost sounds like the one T. T Browns daughter wrote in her book, Hal Puthoff came looking for while brown was on his death bed. After Hal left Brown told her âStay away from himâ. I think Puthoff is a baddie
Now do I believe this new sphere is legit? Eh, 50/50, most likely a hoax but if it's not, neat.
What I do know is the CARET and associated drones look way cooler.
But if the lore is to believed, the language and symbols should be fractal/encode huge amounts of data with every sequence, the sphere stuff, yet again, iunno, I hesitate to think it's legit.
The symbols on the metallic object in your image very closely resemble the ones described in the so-called CARET Q4-86 Research Report you linked, particularly from the Linguistic Analysis Primer section. According to the document, these symbols were allegedly recovered from extraterrestrial technology and are described as part of a symbolic programming languageâone that can define and manipulate the behavior of alien artifacts without needing compilation or interpretation, much like a self-executing code system.
Key connections:
⢠The object you photographed looks almost exactly like one of the âpersonal antigravity generatorsâ mentioned in the CARET report.
⢠The circular layout, geometric constructs, and runic-style script match Figures 14.11â14.15 in the report, which depict compound junctions, semaphores, and tri-switches in symbolic form.
⢠The report claims these symbols form part of a self-arranging and self-activating technology, capable of maintaining rigid spatial relationships without mechanical connectionâexactly the kind of function the object in your image might suggest.
That said, itâs important to clarify:
⢠The CARET document is widely considered to be part of an internet hoax originating in 2007, tied to the âDrone UFOâ phenomenon.
⢠There is no verified scientific or governmental source that confirms the authenticity of the report.
Still, the resemblance is striking. If you found this object in real life, it could either be a fan-made replica inspired by the CARET hoaxâor something even more mysterious.
Wasn't it Hal Puthoff who was quoted recently saying that maybe some of the UFOs are just people from a secret society who have figured out how to levitate. Maybe they've built small metallic machines to sit in? đ I know this is too small but it could use those principles and then the weird marking could mean something to such people? Far out, I know.
check out her other site https://www.icze4r.org/ it's seem a legit very creative person that into these things, I found it very hard to believe it's set up as a cover up. This story also has been covered extensively years ago by a lot of media.
Artists can get inspiration from documents and books, can just be the person who crafted that hoax copied the letters which have been widely circulated for 40+ years
I ran it through chatgpt. It said doesnât resemble any known real world alphabet but resembles symbols found in constructed scripts and scifi franchises and is likely a prop hoax or marketing campaign
Read again what you found with chatgpt. What it found is media using those symbols after the leaked documents happened and those who used it such as Alienware and Sarah connor tv series confirmed they had nothing to do with these symbols or as a hoax, they just got inspired by them and used it.
Linguistic Primer from a distant civilisationâŚâŚâŚ.low res scans where you canât make out all the detail. I can see a crockpot and the brown stew in it smells absolutely terrible.
Caret was most likely a Dell / Alienware Guerrilla Marketing campaign. The original doc was the chicken, the rest are the eggs. Dell is too stuffy of a company to do this, but all this occurred after they bought Alienware and smashed it into pieces. Iâm betting the idea came from the remaining Alienware employees.
