On the afternoon of Saturday, 12 April 2025, at the Global Center for Christ Consciousness in Sedona, Arizona, a recording of the communique originally received at Mt. Shasta, California, in the summer of 2023 from Lady Orda, the Queen of Venus (Abejar), was presented to an assembly of those interested in finding out what the extraterrestrials were up to in various sectors of our solar system and their intentions towards the people and future of planet Earth. In that message, Lady Orda proclaimed that she was transmitting from a Galactic conference that she was attending in the Saturnian system.
Following the presentation, the floor was opened for a Q and A session, in which one gentleman inquired about the exact location of that conference in the Saturnian system. I replied that it took place in the northern polar lakes region of Titan, Saturn’s largest moon, an orb approximately the same size as the planet Mars, further explaining that Titan served as the Galactic Confederation’s administrative and judicial center for our solar system. I also pointed out that there were 51 solar systems with a total of 601 inhabited planets that were members of the Galactic Confederation, and that each solar system had its own administrative and judicial center.
The contactees began to reveal this information about the Galactic Confederation and the key link that Titan provided to it in our own solar system back in the 1950s. Nearly all of the planets and their larger attendant moons in our solar system were colonized by voyagers from a dying planet in the Tau Ceti system, called Norca, whose fleet of space arks arrived in our solar system approximately 24.5 million years ago, as time is measured on Earth. Norca was moving to close to its parent star, thereby heating up, and their whole planet was turning into a vast, inhospitable desert. The Norcans only hope for survival was to find a new home for themselves in a relatively nearby solar system.
The Norcan Science Council dispatched patrol craft ahead of the main fleet to scout out possible sites for their colonies in the new solar system. In compliance with Natural Law, the Norcans skipped the Earth since they discovered that the lemurs exhibited the genetic potential to evolve into a similar humanoid species such as themselves. A decision was reached to protect and help the lemurs from behind the scenes, when necessary, in advancing their evolution up the cosmic ladder. They respected the autonomy of the lemurs to remain the predominant sentient life form on Earth, the sparkling blue planet that for the lemurs offered endless possibilities for progress and growth.
Once the flying saucers began to appear in massive numbers over the skies of Earth, our own scientists began to suspect that extraterrestrials must be coming from bases nearby in the solar system, being concerned about our tampering with the forces of atomic and nuclear energy and our ever increasing prowess in the development of missile and rocket technology delivery systems to the point that we could even launch weapons of mass destruction to the Moon and even on to other planets. Our technology has far exceeded the growth of our spiritual understanding, and the Venusians and other extraterrestrials came to view us as “children playing with matches in a dynamite shack.” Not only could we annihilate ourselves and our own planet, we also demonstrated that we could inflict significant damage to other inhabited orbs in our solar system.
Suspecting Titan
Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system, coming in behind Jupiter. Because of its many rings, kept apart and in place by shepherding moonlets, and its 63 moons, the entire space sector encompassing Saturn and these other celestial objects is classified as the Saturnian system, situated at an average distance of 750,000,000 miles from Earth. Titan is Saturn’s largest moon, which in diameter exceeds that of the planet Mercury, but is slightly under that of the planet Mars. While they haven’t been too forthcoming about it, U.S. scientists at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have, since that agency’s founding in 1958, suspected that Titan harbors some kind of life, perhaps of an advanced sort.
Because Titan is so far away from the Sun, astronomers surmised that it must be colder than the Earth, but weren’t sure to what degree. And then there was always the friction, hence heat, created by a strong tidal gravitational pull from Saturn to mitigate the cold factor. They also considered that even if Titan’s surface temperature turned out to be somewhat akin to that of a refrigerator set at its coldest setting, the presence of a thick 300-mile atmosphere, breathable like that of our own planet, water and life-sustaining organic chemicals such as ammonia, hydrogen and methane, could make the existence of extensive life possible largely underground, under water or even in caves.
The Pioneer 10 and 11 space probes to the Jupiter and Saturnian systems and beyond, respectively, contained a gold-anodized aluminum plaque if either spacecraft was ever found by intelligent lifeforms in outer space. The plaques feature the nude figures of a human male and female along with several symbols that are designed to provide information about the origin of the spacecraft and the creatures depicted on it.
Pioneer 11 Flyby of Titan
NASA scientists, desirous to settle the question as to whether there was any kind of life on Titan, launched its Pioneer 11 probe to the cloudy Saturnian moon on 5 April 1973 and on 1 September 1979 accomplished a flyby of Saturn at 20,951 kilometers above that ringed planet’s cloud tops. Utilizing a swing around Saturn for a gravity assist, on the following day the Pioneer 11 accomplished a flyby of Titan at 362,962 kilometers out. In a brief burst of telemetry received from this flyby, Pioneer 11 registered an average global temperature for Titan of minus 315 degrees Fahrenheit (minus 193 degrees Celsius). However, data from subsequent probes detected seasonal weather patterns, as on Earth, in addition to the presence of atmospheric methane creating a greenhouse effect on Titan's surface, thereby prompting scientists to reassess their prior assumption that Titan was always in a state of deep freeze and too cold to support life as we know it. Pioneer 11 also snapped photographs of Titan before moving out of the Saturnian system, but the only ones released were lacking in any detail as the cloud cover was too dense to make out any surface features.
Telemetry Corruption
As data started to come in to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory at the Pioneer 11 mission command post in Pasadena, California, on that fateful day of 2 September 1979, a strange noise drowned out most of the probe’s transmissions. An analysis of the radio tracking data from the Pioneer 10 (from Jupiter) and Pioneer 11 spacecraft (from Titan) at distances between 20 and 70 astronomical units from the Sun, had consistently indicated the presence of a small but anomalous Doppler frequency drift. The drift can be interpreted as due to a constant acceleration of (8.74 ± 1.33) × 10−10 m/s2 directed towards the Sun. Although it was suspected that there was a systemic origin to the effect, none was found. As a result, a sustained interest like this so-called “Pioneer anomaly” has been generated within the space research and ufology communities. While NASA had no viable explanation for this occurrence, scientists in the Soviet Union advanced some interesting speculations.
Ramona Cortez, an international correspondent for Beyond Reality Magazine of Nanuet, New York, checked into the Soviet scientists’ interpretations of this so-called “anomaly,” whose views she presented in the May/June 1980 issue of that bi-monthly periodical:
Dr. Sergei Bozhich, one of Russia’s leading astronomers, speculates that, “Inhabitants of Titan blocked out the transmission to delay our finding out about them. They are interested in us, but are not now prepared to communicate with us.”
Despite the transmission loss, there are other indications that some kind of beings occupy Titan; and they’re operating a space station, many scientists believe. According to Dr. Bozhich, “We have traced hundreds of UFO flights using new computerized devices.”
Russian scientists have picked up strange radio frequencies that appear to link Earth and Titan. Dr. Bozhich continues, “We are certain this radio beacon pulsates signals at regular intervals to keep extraterrestrial vehicles on course.”
Ramona Cortez wondered why no scientists in the United States have discovered this linking planetary radio signal. In her interview with Dr. Henry Monteith, an engineering physicist at the Sandia Laboratories in Albuquerque, New Mexico, she inquired as to this very matter, to which Monteith replied that he had “no doubt” that some radio astronomers affiliated with special federally-funded programs in the United States have already intercepted these signals and continue to monitor them. The problem came in determining the exact transmission point for the signal. Monteith explained, however, that, “There’s so much noise out there. You have to know what you are looking for to define your findings. The Russians have zeroed in on Titan as being a space station, and can therefore better speculate about the identity of these radio signals.”
Monteith concurred with the Russians’ findings about Titan, exclaiming that, “Titan is probably being used as an alien space station. It would be a good point from which to study our solar system.”
Nuclear physicist Stanton Friedman (1934-2019) as photographed by Beyond Reality Magazine correspondent Ramona Cortez in 1980. Friedman firmly believed that Titan was the perfect location for aliens from another star system to set up a reconnaissance base in our own solar system.
Correspondent Cortez also interviewed the U.S. government-contracted nuclear physicist and UFO expert, Stanton Friedman (1934-2019), about a possible alien base on Titan, to which he replied, “There are realities that support the existence of Titan UFOs. Their space crafts can exceed speeds of existing Earth crafts, making the trip between Titan and Earth a matter of only a few days, despite the 795-million-mile distance. I believe Titan would be an ideal planet for space traveling aliens because space fuel to power the crafts is readily available there, including isotopes of hydrogen and helium. Titan’s surface gravity is also low, making it easy to land on and take off from.”
In returning to Soviet scientist Dr. Sergei Bozhich, based on the information that he and his colleagues in the Soviet Academy of Sciences had been able to garner about extraterrestrials from beyond our solar system establishing a base on Titan, he hypothesized concerning the nature of the large Saturnian moon and its inhabitants that, “These aliens have come originally from a planet within our galaxy, but beyond our Sun. This planet is only slightly ahead of us technologically, as few as 60 years. Therefore, it is very likely that it has spawned life very much like ours. Its beings are probably human in appearance.”
Interestingly, Bozhich’s theory corresponds nicely with that of the U.S. nuclear physicist Friedman, who declared that, “Titan beings look like us. I make reference to the hundreds of sightings of space people on Earth, which I believe that many are Titan beings. Most of the sighted aliens give the impression of being humanoid creatures with large heads and small bodies.”
Back in the U.S.S.R.
Soviet Union’s Expanded Interest in Titan
Bozhich, quite intellectually invested in the Titan phenomenon and the search for intelligent life there, noted that the Soviet Union’s scientific study of UFOs had “gone into high gear.” He explained that, “The Soviet Academy of Sciences, which until recently ignored UFOs, has now revered its policy by asking the Russians to report any and all sightings. Though this may provoke numerous bogus accounts, it may also encourage individuals, previously fearful of rebuff, to come forward with their information. So far, thousands of accounts of sightings have poured in this year (1980).”
The Soviet scientist revealed that in August 1979, the Academy authorized the establishment of a nation-wide UFO observation network. Its official, publicly-stated objective was to coordinate the tracking of extraterrestrial vehicles over the Soviet Union. Correspondent Cortez, who interviewed many Soviet scientists in her investigation into extraterrestrial research going on behind the Iron Curtain, believed that this move was made in light of a massive UFO flap taking place at that time with 94 sightings over Petrozavodsk, 44 over Estonia, 36 near Kiev, 23 over Nizhnitagil, and 18 over Pyatigorsk.
Cortez wisely concluded that since numerous scientists in both the U.S. and U.S.S.R. believe that something is alive on Titan, the only course to take is a pursuance of the available information. She opined that, “Knowledge is the most valuable object in this issue; and since the Russians are eager to learn more, we wonder where these findings will lead us and what effect they will have on our future and in the discovery of other life forms on other planets.”
Back in 1980, there was still a lot of speculation in NASA and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory as to what celestial orb they should concentrate their allotted funds and energy. Many reasoned that since the Soviet Union had pretty much locked in Venus with its Venera probes, perhaps the outer planets and their moons might be the most fruitful direction for the American space program to go.
NASA and European Space Agency (ESA) Missions to Titan
When the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft, both launched in 1977, arrived in the Saturnian system in November 1980 and August 1981, respectively, they couldn’t see Titan’s surface because of its hazy atmosphere—images from that mission showed a featureless orange world. Nevertheless, they did see the blue haze as a seemingly detached layer of Titan’s upper atmosphere. Just before Voyager 1 arrived in the Saturnian system, some scientists speculated that Titan’s cold temperatures and methane meant that Titan might be home to oceans of liquid hydrocarbons. But the Voyager spacecrafts’ cameras were unable to penetrate Titan’s opaque atmosphere to get a clear view of the surface. However, the Voyagers revealed that Titan did have traces of acetylene, ethane, and propane, along with other organic molecules, and that its atmosphere was primarily nitrogen. Voyager 1 also provided a measurement of Titan’s surface temperature and air pressure, as well as the moon’s radius, revealing Titan to be the second largest moon in the solar system, not the largest, which is Jupiter’s Ganymede (both moons are larger than Mercury). The Voyagers also saw a distinct difference in brightness from north to south, which was presumed to be a seasonal effect, a presumption that was later confirmed.
In 1994, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recorded pictures of Titan using select colors of infrared light that could pierce through the haze. The Hubble images showed large bright and dark areas, including one very bright region the size of Australia. The Hubble results didn't prove that liquid seas existed, though, and the mystery about what was hidden below Titan’s haze remained until 2004, when the Cassini spacecraft, with the European Space Agency’s Huygens probe attached, became the first human-made object to orbit Saturn in 2004. Almost immediately, Cassini began observing Titan, peering through the haze for the first time. The Huygens probe detached from Cassini and parachuted through Titan’s atmosphere, landing on the surface on 14 January 2005. This marked the first landing of a probe in the outer solar system. Huygens collected images and atmospheric data during its descent as well as from the surface, and transmitted that data to Cassini, which relayed the data to Earth.
Cassini performed 127 close flybys of Titan over 13 years, using a suite of tools, including radar and infrared instruments to peer through Titan’s haze and finally give scientists a detailed view of the moon’s surface and complex atmosphere. Cassini-Huygens discovered that Titan has clouds, rain, lakes and rivers of liquid hydrocarbons, as well as a subsurface ocean of salty water. In other words, Titan could be considered primary real estate in this solar system for the establishment of a long-term colony.
What the Russians have been doing with regards to Titan, and yet plan to do there, is largely unknown. But the NASA Directorate has decided to return there with its Dragonfly mission. The Dragonfly mission is a planned NASA project to explore Titan using a rotorcraft that will fly to various locations on its surface. It is scheduled for launch in July 2028, whence Dragonfly aims to study Titan's prebiotic chemistry and assess its potential for habitability. It should arrive at Saturn’s largest icy moon in 2034.
