Ufologist Michael Salla presented an interview with “JP,” who allegedly serves in the United States military, about the discovery of a dimensional portal to an ancient temple housing the slumbering body of a dead-but-dreaming red-haired, presumably white-skinned, Giant. Here’s how Salla describes JP’s claims: JP, who continues to serve in the US Army, was part of a ten-man multinational mission to an underground temple, which was accessed through a portal doorway located under a military installation. He described the Temple he visited as inside a large underground cavern, and it consisted of four white marble pillars, beyond which was a large sarcophagus. Inside was an approximate 12-foot red-haired giant who appeared to be dead and in a state of decomposition. He was surrounded by beautiful jewelry consistent with his status as a noble or king. Aside from the horror movie clichés and the rather obvious influence from H. P. Lovecraft’s weird fiction, particularly “The Call of Cthulhu,” The Shadow Out of Time, and “The Horror in the Museum,” the story has a ring of familiarity to it for other reasons. That’s because it echoes claims from many years ago alleging that a secret tomb had been discovered in Iran containing the gigantic incorruptible bodies of Gilgamesh and Enkidu. That hoax involved a crudely made 2008 video created by Russians, who claimed that one of the bodies belonged to the magician Jaromir.
The version that “JP” offers, however, is not the one that Russian hoaxers concocted but rather the Americanized version that former Ancient Aliens talking head David Wilcock presented on his Gaia TV channel in the summer of 2015 (S01E06 “Sleeping Giants”) with Corey Goode, alleging that the tomb contained the bodies of red-haired, white skin Aryan giants who were preserved in extraterrestrial stasis chambers and began to be revived once the tomb was opened. The video’s giants match the description of JP’s giant. Wilcock and Goode described the giant’s culture as a “crossover” between many different ancient civilizations (because the video’s props were a hodgepodge of random junk), and JP similarly makes his tomb accessible from three different continents. JP’s one innovation, the portal allowing for intercontinental or interdimensional travel, is lifted from another popular ancient alien claim, that the U.S. discovered a “star gate” in Iraq after the Iraq War. The claim has roots in the Abrahamic legend of the “Fiery Furnace” (from the Book of Daniel, the Quran, and other sources), but mostly it’s the movie Star Gate and its TV spinoff inspiring the claim. Although it circulated online earlier, William Henry popularized it for a mass audience in an episode of Ancient Aliens in 2015, the same time David Wilcock started spreading the giant tomb story. In short, JP’s claims are almost certainly rehashed, recycled stories from the Ancient Aliens cinematic universe, remixed to obscure their origins.

Rubbish Meade Layne & Gerald Light Claims

Salla first started by taking the claims of Meade Layne & Gerald Light about Edwards Air Force Base. Wasn't Edwards Air Force Base involved in the experiments surrounding the AVRO car? Could this be the initial inspiration behind this fantasy claims of Meade Layne and Gerald Light, spilling over into the fantasy meetings between Ike and Aliens?

While the AVRO Car was a Canadian design, and developed almost entirely on Canadian soil, there were some flight tests in the US, but not at Edwards.

"When JP’s team returned to the sarcophagus, the giant and the jewels were all gone. It was assumed the giant had been resuscitated or resurrected through some temporal technology, but nothing was seen to corroborate this."

Yes, that's the question. Whom drew the conclusion? Whom indeed drew it? Did him drew it? Or did him drew it? Maybe him drew it. Maybe them all drew it. One thing for sure is me didn't drew it.

Well it was finally discovered. However I believe the portal was actually the door to a strip bar called the Blue Willow. The red headed white skinned giant was the head stripper who's stage name was the "Big Red One" and the artifacts were the clothes she removed during the act.

Has anyone accounted for Windom Earle's whereabouts during this? I suspect Lodge business.

"Then, a third ten-man team showed up from Africa, and the personnel communicated in French."
