3 People Silenced for UFO Research That Threatens Power

A troubling pattern emerges when examining three individuals whose work challenges conventional understanding of unexplained phenomena silencing their UFO research and investigations. According to testimony featured on the Dennis World podcast, astronomer Dr. Beatriz Villarroel, ocean explorer Dennis Åsberg, and former Air Force pilot Jake Barber have each encountered organized resistance to their investigations — resistance that suggests institutional knowledge of phenomena beyond public acknowledgment.


Villarroel’s experience represents perhaps the most stark example of academic suppression in modern science. According to her account on the Dennis World podcast, she faced professional exile after collaborating with exoplanet pioneer Geoffrey Marcy on research examining statistical correlations between UFO reports and anomalous objects in 1950s photographic plates. “They put my name up with my face and say, she’s participates in rape culture. They stop me from coming from conferences,” Villarrole stated, describing how the SETI Institute and other institutions severed ties with her research.

Her findings, which should have warranted serious scientific discussion, revealed extraordinary temporal correlations. According to Villarroel’s analysis of over 100,000 transient objects in pre-satellite photographic plates, anomalous objects appeared on July 19th and July 27th of 1952 — precisely matching the dates of radar-confirmed UFO activity over Washington, D.C. The probability of this correlation occurring by chance, according to her calculations, stands at 0.0001 percent. More significantly, her data indicates transients were 45% more likely within one day of nuclear testing, with each additional UAP report correlating with an 8.5% increase in transient detection.


Dennis Åsberg’s 2011 discovery of the Baltic Sea Anomaly adds a physical dimension to these statistical findings. According to Åsberg’s account the 60-meter circular object located 91 meters underwater consistently disables modern equipment when investigation teams position directly above it. “We have problems with the GPS,” Åsberg described, noting that interference patterns occur repeatedly during expeditions to the site. The phenomenon extends beyond GPS failures to include camera shutdowns, light malfunctions, and phantom radar contacts. Reference to the 2012 investigations reveals that six NATO ships appeared in the vicinity, and according to Åsberg, his team was required to hand over all findings to Swedish military authorities.

Sub-bottom profiling of the anomaly reveals internal structures that challenge natural formation theories. According to sonar data referenced in the discussion, rectangular corridors are visible within the object, suggesting engineered rather than geological origins. The precision of these structures indicates deliberate construction rather than random deposition, yet mainstream scientific institutions have largely dismissed the findings without conducting direct analysis.

Jake Barber’s military testimony provides context for why such suppression might exist. His 30-year Air Force career included helicopter-assisted retrievals of craft later confirmed by government task force members as non-human technology. “It was a highly sensitive operation that turned out to be crash retrieval of a non-human craft,” Barber stated, describing an egg-shaped object he transported during classified operations.


Barber’s testimony extends beyond physical retrieval operations into consciousness interaction phenomena. According to his description, during retrieval of an eight-sectioned disc craft, he experienced what he characterized as direct consciousness interface. “I ended up getting an overwhelming sense of like I was possessed by something,” Barber recounted, describing an emotional and spiritual connection that intensified with proximity to the object. This experience, according to Barber, continues to influence his decisions and actions.

The electromagnetic effects Barber describes mirror those encountered by Åsberg. Per Barber’s account, helicopter systems froze mid-flight despite engines running normally, accompanied by GPS failures and radar jamming during close encounters. “Everything starts going haywire inside the helicopter,” Barber stated, describing how his aircraft became unresponsive for approximately two minutes before he could retreat from the object’s vicinity.


The coordination of suppression across these three independent lines of research suggests institutional awareness of these phenomena. SETI researchers face blacklisting for publishing correlations, NATO ships monitor underwater investigations, and military pilots report identical electromagnetic effects across different encounters. This pattern indicates active concealment rather than passive ignorance of anomalous phenomena.


Historical suppression extends the timeline of institutional resistance. According to references in the discussion, Donald Menzel, Harvard Observatory director and prominent UFO skeptic, allegedly destroyed portions of photographic plate collections in 1952 and halted sky surveys for fifteen years during peak anomalous activity periods.


The testimonies and research findings presented raise fundamental questions about scientific transparency and the mechanisms by which potentially paradigm-shifting discoveries are managed by established institutions. The consistency of suppression tactics across different fields and time periods indicates organizational rather than coincidental resistance to investigating anomalous phenomena.
