According to Jack Sarfatti, an American specialist in quantum mechanics, on the night of December 6, 2002, an unknown person called the radio station of the popular program hosted by the famous Art Bell.
He said that he was associated with the military, and therefore knows for certain: some time ago a UFO crashed in Iraq. That is why the United States is going overboard to find a pretext for invading Iraq. After all, if Hussein manages to reproduce the technologies that were used to create UFOs, expect trouble! And, perhaps, it was not by chance that the Iraqi leader behaved so confidently, promising his people that he would easily defeat all his enemies.
Presumably, a UFO crashed there a few years ago - either during the Gulf War (1990-1991), or later, in December 1998. That is, during that famous military operation when Iraq was desperately bombed.
Ufologists are thoughtful. After all, if it was, then Iraq has its own Roswell. And for sure - its own "Zone-51". The military also has something to think about. Does the crash of the UFO mean that the "saucer" fell into the hands of Iraqi scientists and they could have already overtaken the United States in some way? For example, in gravimetric technologies?
Another caller seems to have hinted at a "Nazi trail." Allegedly, most likely, there was a "Nazi saucer" in Iraq, which helped Saddam Hussein implement his plans.
As the same Jack Sarfatti says, it is possible that SS specialists could have visited Iraq during or after the Second World War, but on the whole, in his opinion, the information seems to be deliberately disseminated and is most likely disinformation. Is it so?
It is known, for example, that the interest of Germans in Iraq arose more than 80 years ago, back in the early 1920s, when the National Socialist Workers' Party of Germany (NSDAP) was just taking to the streets of Berlin, starting noisy scandals.
In 1924 Detlef Schmude, one of the prominent Nazi ideologues and founders of the esoteric society "Thule" (the very one that later presented Hitler with the "black spider", that is, the swastika), left the country on a long-term pilgrimage to the Middle East. Shmude settled in northwestern Iran and spent several years in Tabriz hunting the so-called "Secret Masters". Subsequently, a secret mystical group was created there, which began to publish the magazine "Ostara".

In early 1939, Admiral Wilhelm Canaris, head of the Abwehr intelligence service, sent Dr. Paul Leverkühn to the Middle East to recruit Muslim supporters of the Third Reich. Strange coincidence, but the Iranian Tabriz became the headquarters of Dr. Leverkühn!
This city, by the way, is not so far from the border with Iraq. And the most active of the German supporters in that region soon became the pro-Nazi Prime Minister of Iraq, Rashid Ali. A couple of years later, however, he was overthrown - during the British invasion of Iraq in 1941.
The Middle East became the business of SS Reichsfuehrer Himmler, who handed over control of the region to Rudolf Sebottendorf (real name Adam Glauer). Again, by a strange coincidence, he, like Schmude, was a member of the secret lodge "Thule", in the past - the "German Order", which called for the Aryans to join their ranks.
It is even stranger that Sebottendorf's dead body was allegedly found floating in the Bosphorus on May 9, 1945 - the day the Second World War ended in Europe. It was rumored that he drowned himself. But maybe they helped him? Maybe he knew too much? Whom did he disturb the most?
Another question arises: what happened to the Thule / SS organization in Iraq? Where did she go? Nobody knows this.
But it is known that "Himmler's Rasputin", Brigadefuehrer Karl Maria Willigut, showed great interest in Iraq. In 1940, he drew Himmler's attention to important archaeological discoveries in the Iraqi province of Erbil (note this geographic point - it will be mentioned later).
Scientists then found in Erbil objects made by man as early as 10 thousand years before the new era.
Willigut is generally a very mysterious person. He, for example, considered himself the last of the great sorcerers-clairvoyants who trace their origins to the prehistoric people who inhabited Atlantis. Since it was in Iraq that such ancient traces of civilization were discovered, Willigut considered it extremely important to have a branch of the SS-Ahnenerbe here, and, apparently, it was he who advised Himmler to entrust control of the Middle East to Sebottendorf.
After the war, already in 1947, when everyone had forgotten about Sebottendorf, Dorothy Garrod from the University of Cambridge (Great Britain) discovered in Iraq the largest accumulation of artifacts of the 10th millennium BC. This happened about 100 kilometers from the same Erbil. Another important discovery was made in 1951 by Wradwood, a professor at the Oriental Institute of Chicago, who discovered Neolithic artifacts of the 6th millennium BC. (in the same valley where the ruins of Shimurru, a Sumerian settlement of the 3rd millennium BC, were found).
A lot of interesting materials have been collected about this valley. UFO-ROUNDUP correspondent Ayesha al-Khatabi writes that even for Iraq this is a remote backwater. In the upper part of the valley, the population is mixed - mostly Kurds, but there are also Yezidis (a sub-ethnic group of Kurds) and Arabs.
And on the outskirts of the town of Zarzi there is a giant limestone cliff Ishkut-i-Kizapan. An intriguing cave painting was once found there - a Sumerian prince bowing to a deity. An eleven-pointed star is visible behind the deity's throne. Maybe this is proof that alien astronauts flew here?
“I would like to know,” writes Ayesha al-Khatabi, “is there an underground base near Kizapan like the one under Mount Moncayo in Spain? However, I have never heard anything about a UFO crash in Iraq. I have not heard anything about "Tula" either. But Tabriz is not far from Zarzi - only 250 kilometers away, and there is a good road from Tabriz to Mahabad. People can easily cross the border west of Mahabad and in this way penetrate into Iraq and this valley."
Another correspondent, Daoud al-Hayat, reported that there were rumors about aliens in Iraq, but no one spoke of a UFO crash. Bazaar gossips in Suleymaniye (south of Zarzi) say the aliens are Saddam's personal guests. But where do they live? Usually gossipers mention an underground base.
Perhaps there is some underground city in the valley of the Iraqi Small Zab River? Hussein has no palace there, that's for sure. But there is the ancient fortress Kalaat-e-Djulundi, which used to belong to the royal family. After the revolution, the fortress passed to the government, and now it is the president's summer residence. “The reason why I mention Kalaat-e-Julundi,” writes Daud al-Hayat, “is that the fortress is practically impregnable. The citadel stands on a hill surrounded on three sides by cliffs that vertically descend to the river (Small Zab). I think Saddam allows the aliens to live there."
And here is what Mohammed Hajj al-Amdar reports: “There are some rather strange stories associated with that valley. Rumor has it that Saddam gave the sanctuary to the aliens so that they would not be caught by the Americans. No one will approach the citadel of Kalaat-e-Julundi at night. They say that the aliens created real "watchdogs" there for Hussein. To do this, they take the most common scorpions in the desert and, through genetic manipulation, make them grow to gigantic proportions.
They move swiftly and silently and choose warm-blooded prey as their target. The victim hears a strange sound approaching quickly over the stones. One pair of pincers squeezes a person's throat, the other bites his legs, and he falls to the ground. The spiky and venomous tail delivers six or seven hits. Death comes quickly … I've heard Saddam say that the role of these creatures is "to brave intruders."
It seems that something strange was indeed happening in the Zab Valley. Was Zarzi something like "Zone-51" for Hussein?
Meanwhile, it is known that during the conflicts between the US and Iraq, UFOs seem to "keep an eye" on both sides. Or do they not only look out, but also participate?
On Thursday, December 16, 1998, during a massive air strike against Iraq by the combined forces of NATO allies, CNN showed a UFO over the Iraqi capital Baghdad.
At the time, this was just another UFO report - among many, so no one paid much attention to it. Now ufologists began to suspect that there was something more behind that incident. It is known, for example, that triangular UFOs were seen almost simultaneously in the state of New York and in Iraq - both before the military operation and during it.
The lights, forming a large triangle, were seen over the center of Baghdad on December 16, 1998 at half past three in the morning local time. And when Iraqi air defense forces began firing tracer fire, CNN's night-vision video camera captured the slow movement of the UFO.
The day before, on December 15, the UFO scene was shown “live” on American television at 18.30. “On that Thursday, during the NBC bombing report, I saw a triangular formation of lights moving very slowly over Baghdad,” says ufologist Ignatius Graffeo. “The glow was even, the picture was clear and absolutely amazing.” He described this phenomenon as a V-shaped formation. UFOs were clearly visible against the background of a black sky and were very different from the "greenish" anti-aircraft tracer lights - those lights traced the sky without stopping at one point, and the UFOs moved relatively slowly.
According to Boston Herald, UFOs were also spotted over the American Fort Drum on the outskirts of New York State, where they were preparing for a four-day operation in Iraq. The December 17, 1998 newspaper reported that along with additional air reserves, the army intends to send a battalion of light infantry and experts on nuclear, biological, chemical weapons from several of its bases there from Fort Drum to monitor Iraqi military operations against Kuwait and other neighbors in that region. The Boston Herald article was titled "US Build Military Muscle".
However, triangular UFOs began to fly in those places three weeks earlier, on November 30. Then the information ufological organization MUFON in New York received reports of the appearance of a UFO over Evans Mills and the nearby Lake Perch Lake. And this is just west of Fort Drum.
On December 2, 1999, the UFO-ROUNDUP newsletter told about the strange things that are happening in the ancient Iraqi city of Haditha. There are widespread stories about creatures that the local population considers ghosts. Nevertheless, when the "ghosts" began to "dance" naked in front of the cars passing along the road, the people were worried: why would it be?
Iraqi weekly Al-Alwan wrote at the time that “drivers passing through the Khoran Valley, 216 kilometers from Baghdad, report the appearance of naked ghosts performing all sorts of acrobatic stunts near the bridge there. “At the same time, the drivers panic,” the newspaper quoted one of the eyewitnesses, Shavka Sabar. “These creatures are almost like humans. However, I could not concentrate on their appearance, because I was terribly frightened. Yes, and it was dark."
"Dancing ghosts" began to appear in August and seemed so much like people that one driver, when the ghost suddenly disappeared, wondered if he had hit a man, and reported the incident to the police. Nobody still knows what these "dancing ghosts" are and where they came from.
Ufologists are inclined to assume that aliens can appear in front of a person in any guise, and even rumor will “dress up” them in accordance with the local belief system. And, perhaps, it is no coincidence that the northern part of the country is closed for the passage of foreign aircraft. This is hardly due to the fact that many Kurds live there. Or maybe the Kurds have nothing to do with it. Erbil, in any case, is located just in such a zone - if you look at the map, then at the top right.
Much here is probably from the field of guesswork. And yet, if you put together the fragments of this outlandish mosaic - an impregnable fortress over the river, rumors of giant scorpions, "Nazi footprints", the appearance of UFOs and even incomprehensible creatures that seem to be dancing, because they move in jerks, then there really is than. It is not for nothing that they say that the East is a delicate matter …
