For anyone unfamiliar with this post, it has since been archived here. Oddly enough, their account was (1) initially shadowbanned and (2) suspended sitewide by Reddit admins. Weird stuff. With that out the way, we can begin with the purported "restricted part of the basement" that belongs to a laboratory in Fort Detrick: The laboratory itself is located in Fort Detrick, Maryland, in a building used for legitimate biomedical research. The clandestine operations are carried out in a restricted part of the basement, out of sight from regular workers. OP claimed this was Battelle OP has a description of "BSL-2" and "BSL-3" designated areas: Indeed, the lab containing EBO samples or derived cell cultures is BSL3, while the lab where assays are conducted are only BSL2. The BSL3 area of the facility includes a freezer room and a cell culture lab and is only accessible through an antechamber from the BSL2 section. This is an accurate description of the inside of Battelle. Pretty much the only known video I could find of the inside includes the following (from the guys themselves): https://reddit.com/link/1td8wmt/video/um6s6khoo51h1/player As you can tell, OP is pretty much spot on with his description of BSL-3 areas. Both the freezers and cell-culture lab are visible throughout the video. Note the following description of the temperature of the freezers: EBO carcasses are preserved in horizontal freezers at a temperature of -80°C nominal This is interestingly, also spot on. NBACC had a report from 2024 titled "Mishaps, Lessons Learned & Success Stories – April to May 2024" in which we find: A staff member entered a BSL-3 freezer room to check on the status of two -80° C freezers So far their information is accurate to the insides of how Battelle looks & functions. Now we get into the interesting part: NHI biologics. Note that this section of the post is veryyyyy reliant on "witnesses", documents if possible & otherwise, given the sheer lack of physical shit to just demonstrate the greys are real. In essence, I could probably put forward the following proposition: the information contained in the post lines up with a lot of "witness" claims, and available evidence we can have OP is may have just been well-read, but some information may be deemed "obscure" and may add credibility to the post with the added accurate description of Battelle, we have a genuine "leak" of information. OP claimed concerning NHI "gross anatomy": Under the grey film, the epidermis is rather white, and the texture is very regular and without any hair. This lines up with what we find regarding NHI in the Varginha case: The body was hairless with no hair on the head, arms or torso. The color was brown and the skin was oily. (Transcript between James Fox & Robert Lier) OP further claims: We do not see any defect other than the folds near the joints. It's described as greasy in one report, but that's not something I've observed. The same report states that a strong, lingering smell of burnt hair and ammonia is present when the film is removed. There are a lot of pores on the skin, crossing from the epidermis to a gland in the hypodermis. This also occurs in the Varginha case. An ET was allegedly shot by the police in 1978 at Fort Dix, to which we have another "witness" to this stench of ammonia: According to the retired major as told in the book, the alleged alien succumbed to its gunshot wounds on the Air Force side of what is now Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst in Burlington County; its remains giving off a foul-smelling, ammonia-like stench. (click) The Falcon Lake incident similarly describes these "pores" and a "sulphur-like" smell: "When I walked into the bedroom there was a huge stink in the room, like a real horrible aroma of sulphur and burnt motor. It was all around and it was coming out of his pores. It was bad," The 1952 "Flatwoods Monster" likewise attests to this: The monster, Mrs. May said. had an overpowering metallic odor that nauseated them. She said they vomited for several hours. Authorities said they believed the "flying saucer" which Mrs. May's sons saw was a meteorite. The incident occurred during a meteor shower over a three-state area. Etc. The fact of the matter is this has been reported by people independently for decades, repeatedly. Some aspects of the "Gross anatomy" section are easily guessable, e.g. the oversized head, 3-feet (Lazar, Hill et. al) are all famous elements in UFOlklore. The niche parts bear hallmarks of authenticity. Which is why we move onto one key detail, the use of copper: copper oxide crystals where marrow would normally be found. Cattle mutilations (tinfoil hats on now) often result in a dramastic decrease in copper content within the corpses of said cattle: Samples from the animal's liver were found to be completely devoid of copper and to contain 4 times the normal level of zinc, potassium and phosphorus. The scientists performing the analysis were unable to explain these anomalies (Wikipedia) Potential link I think. All-in-all, make up your mind. I'm presenting some "factoids" and they lend credibility to the claims of said OP. submitted by /u/jotunheim22 [link] [comments]
