WikiLeaks Cable Shows Ambassador Discussing Life on Other Planets
A WikiLeaks cable from 2010 details an interaction between a U.S. ambassador and the mayor of Dushanbe, Tajikstan, in which the mayor mentions knowledge of the existence of life on other planets.
The statement came from Mahmadsaid Ubaidulloev, then-mayor of the nation’s capital and former chairman of the country’s upper chamber of parliament. The two discussed Tajikstan’s upcoming election, the mayor’s desire to get Tajik students into Harvard, and issues with electricity at a Dushanbe cybercafé.
But a somewhat out of context statement came when the mayor began speaking about the conflict in Afghanistan. The cable states that he thanked the U.S. ambassador for his country’s contributions and sacrifices and said U.S. activity there was important “as we enter the third millennium and the 21st century.
He continued, stating that “war is very dangerous,” and “we know there is life on other planets, but we must make peace here first.”
The cable doesn’t go into further detail as to the meaning of the mayor’s statement, despite its inclusion in a classified document. The ambassador makes subtle, dismissive notes throughout the cable painting an image of the mayor as somewhat aloof and irrational.
The ambassador describes the conversation as “platitude-ridden” and “nonsensical” saying the Mayor often lied about free and fair elections, and unbiased media coverage. The cable ends with the ambassador bluntly referring to the meeting as, “a right painful 90 minutes.”
But the mayor’s comment about extraterrestrial life is not the first to be made by a foreign dignitary to a U.S. ambassador. In a 2006 cable released by Wikileaks, Lithuania’s advisor to the Prime Minister, Albinas Januska, was quoted warning of the existence of, “a group of people, who are directed from the East, a group of UFOs, who are making influence from the Cosmos.”
Januskas said, “There also exists a decreasing number of persons, who are trying to rationally analyze the situation and to objectively evaluate what is happening.”
Again, the cable doesn’t go into further detail regarding Januska’s comments, though its inclusion in the cable signifies some potential interest or intrigue behind his statements.
With recent pieces of UFO evidence gaining more traction in mainstream media and the public’s general awareness, could we be on the brink of a wide-scale disclosure?

What's Sending These Mystery Signals From 4,000 Lightyears Away?
A mysterious repeating radio signal from space has been detected that scientists have not seen before. What or who is sending this signal?
Scientists have detected a radio signal from somewhere out in deep space some 4,000 light-years away.
The signal pulsed every 18 minutes and 18 seconds, for 30 to 60 seconds — every time, 18 minutes and 18 seconds. It did this for three months then it stopped. Scientists assume it is a naturally occurring rotating object that, like a lighthouse shining its beacon, will send what appears to be a repeating signal.
But Natasha Hurley-Walker, whose study into this repeating signal was recently published in the journal Nature told Vice, “[T]here are no models that produce such bright radio emission from two objects in orbit with each other, with such precision, and any that would produce any kind of radio waves would also produce X-ray emission, which we don’t see.”
Some think this might be coming from a highly magnetized star called a magnetar. So what does this all mean? Astronomer and Gaia News contributor Marc D’Antonio weighed in on the subject.
“Maybe this strange signal is some weird kind of magnetar that is rotating, but we’re not used to seeing it rotate every 18 minutes, that means a rather slow rotation. So, this is kind of weird, it’s something that doesn’t match any model that we know, and I think it takes us down a new research path to try to figure out just what it is we’re looking at,” D’Antonio said.
