Blazing Reader,

Did you spot the ETs? Four extraterrestrials snuck into the video of our trip to Arcen Castle (which I posted on Friday). And no, I'm not referring to the totally fake images of these aliens presenting my wife Ina with a cake after abducting her from her hotel room on her birthday:

Total fiction.

The real aliens I'm talking about are those bona fide skinny, grey ones with the big eyes you've seen on credible publications lining grocery store checkouts.

But you may not have any conscious memory of seeing the spooks. Our minds have so much trouble believing they're real. Even when we see them, we don't.

For example, you can see one in the thumbnail for the video:

They make three more appearances. Ina didn't even notice them until I had compiled and edited (ahem) the photos into a video.

Can you spot the other three? There's still time! Whichever government agency covers up these strange encounters hasn't scrubbed the video yet. You can still watch it on YouTube, X, Bitchute or Rumble.
