This is coming in April. My latest Sci-Fi film.

I finished this last month. It was a test film for a much more involved cinematic longer short I’m editing now.

Enjoy.

It’s been a year since we started “Breaking the Silence”. And in that year Mary and I have been through a lot while maintaining the channel. We have worked so hard and have stayed faithful to our mission statement.

We had just started the channel when our house was flooded last year during Christmas. We lost so much. It was so hard. On top of that I had bladder cancer and went through surgeries and a lot of pain. So many more setbacks kept confronting us but Mary and I always pressed on. Our mission has always been the same. Tell the truth, share peoples stories, and raise consciousness about communion with non-human intelligences.

From time to time we are told in the comments how our channel could do better, be more successful, get more views, more subscribers and most importantly to them, more revenue.

Our success has never been about these things. We are a success. We have formed a community of people that are connected to spirit, nature and the universe. They are kind, loving and honest. They have good hearts and a deep moral center. And it’s growing. 

The slow growth is a result of trust. So many people on YouTube have channels about UFO’s, Alien abduction(as they call it) and the paranormal. After seeing many, many of them it is clear to me many of them(not all) only want your clicks and revenue from YouTube. They crave millions of subscribers, the attention and want to please the algorithms. In my opinion they are slaves to the algorithms and their content is only meant to shock and entertain you. It has little or no real value in this author’s opinion..

What I have found is that short sensational videos with lots of bangs, boos and exploitation get the most clicks. YouTube pushes them more and the shock jokes get rich from it. But in my view they aren’t successful. Why? Let’s go back to that trust I spoke of earlier.

Recently, our numbers and community are growing. It seems exponential. A year later people have learned we can be trusted to let them tell their story unabated. We don’t edit their stories so they favor a different point of view or meaning. We don’t interview and in doing so redirect their narrative. We don’t exploit their stories either. A perfect example is what was done to Travis Walton and the film “Fire in the Sky”. In my opinion it was disgraceful exploitation in order to have a sensational trailer on TV to get people to spend their money to see it. The entire abduction scene was fictional. Made up by the writer to keep his job and in doing so broke the trust of the man that had this experience. I call it what it is. Selling out and we will never do that.  

As a result we have attracted people that have actually had these experiences and also those that work in the field of study of this phenomenon that are honest and straightforward. This is a true measure of success to me. To us. Because we are all working together to tell the truth.

Another matter that has come to my attention is how mean and opinionated some of the commenters can be. As though they have a problem or axe to grind they proclaim they have a sense of who is lying, crazy, or just poor picks for our channel. Or as one person said recently, “She qualifies as a classic UFO wacko and she doesn’t help this channel at all.

What does he know I don’t know? Where’s his evidence, or his proof so many of them continually demand?

In this case the person he is talking about, she is a member of our community. She made a great effort to travel to us on her own money from a long distance by plane. So she could come in front of our cameras and share with us involvement in this experience. And for that we are in great appreciation.

People tell us we need to Vet people more. I call it cherry picking. When I look into a person’s spirit and heart I see it. I am connected to all spirits (we all are) from the smallest insect to the cosmos itself. And you get a real sense when a person is sharing their truth. I know that what they experienced they truly know to be real for them. And lastly if I wasn’t there in the experience with them who am I to judge them or anyone else for their experience?

So many people in our world are separated at an early age from the truth that we are connected to all spirit. They are told to grow up and act like an adult. They are cut off from the innocent inner child and enter a world without hope and wonder.

This is blindness. This creates frightened people who fear death because they believe it’s the end for them and they only face oblivion. This causes so much confusion, hate, anger, judgement, and loss. They can’t see into the spirit of another human even when they are truthful and loving. They can’t connect with the trees and the birds in them. They are separated from feeling the joy of the forest as it lives and thrives. They don’t breathe with the breath of our planet. And yet they cast stones and are mean to people that they don’t even know or feel. They see nature as something to dominate and control. It is their enemy. But for us of spirit it is who we are and I feel the visitor spirits know this about us.

We will continue to allow these brave spirits to come forward and share with you their vision and experience in the hope that this will bring about the healing we so very much need.

We are, “Breaking the Silence”

This is a frame grab from one of my films I’m currently editing. It is for the first time in my career of making images of the Visitors very close if not identical to my experience with them. This being has been in my experience since childhood to present day. She is amazing an this image from my animation truly captures her.

I created the mesh and sculpture using Blender and Unreal Engine 5.4. The processing was done using DaVinci Pro Resolve 18. These are my new improved tools over the old days of Lightwave and other 3D programs.

Looking at this image creates very closely what it is like to be in their presence.

It has been remarkably quiet lately. Hardly anyone is, watching, commenting or engaging much. It seems the immense distraction and fear driven by political and global turmoil are confining many within their own reality bubbles. This situation is fueled by powerful entities and the media. The elite one percent with their wealth and supposed influence. The churches that preach fear and demand conformity.

It’s an illusion designed to immerse you in fear and anxiety. It’s a calculated deception—the ultimate trick of the magician. Those who impose this upon their fellow humans are the true demons, the real monsters.

Don’t surrender your power to them. That’s what they crave. Never relinquish your power to remember who you are and why you are here. Your purpose wasn’t politics, religion, or war. It wasn’t to believe their falsehoods or partake in their distorted reality, which is far removed from the beauty of the “Pale Blue Dot,” a walk in the forest, or a sunset on the beach. Holding the hand of someone you love deeply and feeling that love is the most powerful force in the universe.

Reflect on the wisdom and perspective of this wonderful man. It will diminish every fear these powerful individuals think they can impose upon us. You’ll realize they have no control over you and that anyone on Earth with love and kindness in their hearts holds true power.

I intended to post Carl Sagan’s beautiful words in print, but since many won’t read anymore, here’s the video of him narrating it himself. It is moving. And if you think Carl supported the idea that we are alone in the universe or reject the possibility of contact with non-human intelligence, reconsider. He gave us “Contact,” a magnificent book, and a movie.

Tonight, I will gaze at the stars with Mary and Nova. They are our origin and our real world. You are all a Star Child.

Please watch this. We have to change and change soon or lose this Blue dot forever.

After months of producing and working hard on “Breaking the Silence” it has become clear to us that our show must only keep to the Close Encounters Phenomenon only. When we don’t the views drop severely sending us a strong message to what is preferred overall from the viewing audience. But there is much more to this experience that should not be overlooked. 

It’s not all about the sensationalism of people being taken aboard craft from other worlds. But that’s entertainment for you and it’s unfortunate that to some that’s what matters most.

Personally I find this somewhat disappointing. I have learned so much as I age and grow with my own personal close encounters and experiences. It is so very deeply connected to the very fact that we are beings of spirit inhabiting physical bodies. We exist whether you know it, believe it, or not in both realms. We are spirit. That’s who we really are.

On earth we are currently lost in the delusion forced upon us by the humans in power from the government to our scientists and more. The media is another source always in the back pocket of the powers. And it’s worldwide. People have little hope. They believe that when our brains no longer have electrical activity we no longer exist. It is a lie.This is the cause of all the hate, greed and war.

The Visitors-or non-human intelligence knows the truth and exists in both realms of existence. They have for millions of years and any intelligence that has evolved that far will know this. If we are to survive we need to raise our vibration and consciousness to that same level. The level of knowledge that we continue to exist. 

At first you may find it difficult because you’re accepting and experiencing this new world will feel as if your consciousness has been altered. But in time you will adjust to this new state of being. It is very important that during this time and beyond you have a point of focus. A grounding if you will that will help. This is why personal passions and hobbies are so important.

Whenever I take a break from all this and work on a painting, model, sculpture, go flying or some other creative endeavor I get this feeling of contentment and joy. Everything just feels right and it gives me more foundation to stand on as I go back into the breach.

The people in power in this world mean to keep you from these thoughts because it empowers you and takes the power away from them. They desperately cling like rats to a sinking ship as world consciousness shifts away from their reign of tyranny. Making their reality yours and keeping you in the darkness and fear is the only thing they know or care about.

If you are to really understand this close encounter experience then you also need to know there is so much more to it. And this is why it’s important to study and research the very things connected to it. And I know for myself what we call the dead can still talk to us and give us valuable information lost to us. Knowledge we so desperately need to have a healthy consciousness and lives. 

Start by going outside tonight. Sit looking up at the stars. They will talk to you if you listen.

Col. Philip Corso said it best. “It’s a new world if you can take it”. Today this statement and its meaning is debated. But you who are reading this now know in your heart exactly what he meant.

“There’s still hope…don’t give up”

Exploring New Beginnings: The Launch of Our New YouTube Channel!

Introduction: Where Have We Been?

It has been a while since our last update, and you might be wondering, “Where have they been?” Well, the past few months have been a whirlwind events and changes. On December 21st, 2023, a devastating flood wreaked havoc on our house, leaving us displaced and uncertain. However, after months of hard work and determination, our home has been beautifully restored and we are thrilled to be back.

During this transitional period, we found a temporary haven in our film studio located in Ventura, California. This unexpected journey led us to an exciting new venture—a New YouTube Channel titled “Breaking the Travel Silence.” This project has become a heartfelt endeavor allowing us to connect deeply with our community.

Launching Our New YouTube Channel: Breaking the Silence

“Breaking the Silence” is not just another YouTube channel; it’s a professionally crafted cinematic series designed to give a platform to those who’ve had close encounters. Unlike traditional formats, our episodes feature witnesses sharing their extraordinary experiences directly to the camera, free from external commentary from skeptics or debunkers.

In the rapidly evolving UFO-UAP disclosure movement, voices from the close encounters community are often overshadowed by mainstream researchers. Our channel aims to highlight these personal stories that provide insight into what might be one of the most significant occurrences in human history.

Achievements and Community Impact

Since its inception less than six months ago, “Breaking the Silence” has garnered a strong following. We have proudly published 23 cinematic episodes and hosted numerous live streams featuring notable guests like Whitley Strieber. Mary Cacciapaglia, the visionary behind this initiative, also produces the “Secret Stories” podcast segment, where she narrates anonymous personal narratives from our community members.

Our dedication to this channel and its cause has not only amassed over 10,000 subscribers and nearly a million views but has also established us as the largest support network for individuals with these experiences.

Join Our Growing Community

To further support our audience, we have set up a dedicated forum for individuals to share their stories, photos, videos, and more. Engage with a community that understands and values your experiences at our forum.

We warmly invite you to visit and subscribe to “Breaking the Silence” at our YouTube channel. If you have a personal story you wish to share, whether on camera or through the Secret Stories, do not hesitate to reach out to us at breaking.the.silence.show.me@gmail.com.

Conclusion

Rebuilding our lives post-flood was a challenge, but it led us to find a new purpose and passion in “Breaking the Silence.” We look forward to continuing to grow and foster a supportive community where voices that are often silenced can finally be heard. Join us in this significant endeavor as we continue to break the silence and bring these pivotal stories to light.

The Visit

Where do I begin? Many of you do know about my past and to be honest my present. Since I can first remember, in most cases my life has not been like many. I have had a relationship with something non human, strange, scary, beautiful, and even amazing at times that I lived in secret with for much of my early life.

I later learned from my estranged mother and my grandfather that this ran in the family and was the great secret no one talked about. All this happened long before the now famous book by Whitley Stieber Communion would be released to the world to cause a shit storm of response from other people around the globe that had this same secret. Shared this same experience.

Little did I know I would one day meet Whitley and we have been lifelong friends ever since. Yes I have these experiences. I don’t pretend to know exactly what they are in any way. I don’t buy into the folklore or conspiracies about this subject. I only know, not believe, that something is there, it’s intelligent and for the most part unknown.

I have made 5 films to date on the subject. Some mildly Science fiction but always based on my own experiences and knowledge about the subject. I am about to release another film related to this subject named, “A Conversation with my Father”. It is finished but I’m waiting to cut in at the beginning an introduction by Whitley as he has done for 3 of the films in what I call the, “But Something is There” films. The first film and also my book on Amazon are entitled, “But something is There”.

Going back 25 years I was at the height of my visibility on this subject. It was the 90’s and the interest by the media in this subject was at its peak. With shows like “Sightings”, “The Paranormal Borderline”, “The Otherside”, movies, TV specials and more my work and my face were splattered all over other media. Many times alongside Whitley Strieber, Jacques Vallée, Yvonne smith and many other notable people in this field of study.

Many of these shows I was involved in making the practical effects alien puppets for and puppeteering.

I created artwork for many of the shows too. Book covers for writers on the subject, magazine covers, comic books and more. I was the one doing many of the CGI effects for the History Channels, “The UFO Files”. I even made art for the X-files.

That’s the short story. And if you want to know more read my book, “But Something is there” or watch the film. The book does go into a lot more detail. You can read it for free on Kindle.

What all this brings me to is a film I wrote and directed. I worked with my long time friend William Hooper who was one of the most talented filmmakers I have ever known. He was looking at some storyboards I made back in the late 90s and suggested that we make a film together. I had been working on the Fox show “Sightings” and I owned the Grey alien puppets I made for the show. Tony was just getting into Lightwave 3D at the time and we had Adobe Premiere. Tony had a lot of equipment and cameras. I wrote the script. Story boarded the film and we started production.

Once the film was made it was never released publicly. And over the years I lost track of Tony. I rarely hear from him anymore. I wanted to show the film publicly alongside the other films I have made. But I couldn’t get a copy. I did find a DVD he gave me years ago and I did my best to rip a copy from the DVD I’m releasing today.

Tony’s work on this film from editing to his early CGI effects are exemplary. The man is a genius with film and could take footage and make it work in ways few other filmmakers (including myself) could ever do.

Although this was shot in Super 8 video on a high end camera that at the time was about 720 p. And by the time it was encoded for DVD and then ripped to MP4 it had suffered. However in this artist’s opinion the film still works. It is a testament to the tumultuous times of the 90s regarding the UFO phenomenon.

I could go on at great length about all this but I’ll stop here. I’m sure many as they have in the past will laugh at me and any one else that claims their experiences with these things. Go ahead and laugh, it’s OK I’m used to it.

However it should be noted that people in our history who dared to reveal themselves, and their experiences, have brought some of the greatest luminescence to human knowledge, technology, and life than many could have ever imagined.

From Wright Brothers to the scientist that claimed he saw a man ape in the Congo (later known as the Gorilla) they have laughed. May we praise the freaks that dared to be freaks or we’d still be in the caves.

Enjoy the film.
