Researchers believe a search of the Vatican’s historic archives will reveal key insights into aliens, UFOs and other previously unexplained paranormal activity.
Sorting through the massive amounts of documents located in the Vatican Apostolic Archives (its official name) will be no easy task, however.
According to the archive’s website, the files are stored on over 85 linear kilometers of shelving. That’s almost 53 linear miles worth of documentation, covering over twelve centuries.
A recent article published on the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops’ website explains that “a group of scientists and researchers are seeking access to the Vatican Apostolic Archives to uncover information about UFOs and the paranormal.”
The reason for this has ties to Air Force veteran and Pentagon whistleblower David Grusch’s testimony last year in which he claimed the “Vatican was involved” in the first-ever mission of the United States’ alleged secret UFO retrieval program.
“1933 was the first recovery in Europe, in Magenta, Italy,” Grusch told NewsNation. They recovered a partially intact vehicle, and the Italian government moved it to a secure airbase in Italy until around 1944-1945.
“The Pope back-channeled that and told the Americans what the Italians had and we ended up scooping it.”
Following Grusch’s statements, researcher Roberto Pinotti also came forward with a claim that he has proof that a UFO crash occurred in Italy on June 13, 1933, 14 years before the Roswell incident.
“The historical record is filled with these kinds of events,” Diana Walsh Pasulka, a religious studies professor at the University of North Carolina Wilmington, told Catholic News Service. “The people at the Vatican, they don’t even know where to look; it’s in their basements.”
“[The Vatican’s archivists are in a] mad rush to digitize what they have; they have to prioritize what they think is most important. They aren’t really prioritizing orbs that are bothering nuns in the 1800s.”
Garry Nolan, a professor of medicine at Stanford University and co-founder of the Sol Foundation (a think tank established to research the political, philosophical and scientific implications of UFOs), stated, “The Vatican is probably the oldest library system of paranormal or supernatural knowledge still extant,” adding that the archive “has an aura of both mysticism and a feeling of deep truth that if you just know how to read it, you can pull that information out.”
Despite Nolan, his group, and others’ efforts to suss out any documents pertaining to UFOs and aliens in the Vatican’s archives, Marco Grilli, secretary to the prefect of the archives, claims “the prefect wants to affirm that there is no document in the archives that regards extraterrestrial life.”
So it won’t hurt to let someone take a look then, right?
