This article started out with an effort to expand understanding of why Putin is threatening Ukraine with an atomic war. Far from what is presented on the evening news, but more in line with the likes of Dr. Michael Salla, I believe that Putin is having a hard time dealing with at least one alien ark buried in the desert 15 miles east of Kherson, Ukraine. Let’s look at the newest matrix on this topic, Figure 1. The axis term is UKRAINE. Passing directly through UKRAINE is the word ALIENIZATION at skip +1. It is the most significant term on the matrix, appearing against odds of 128 to 1. In Putin’s mind, he sees alien activity on Earth as a continuation of alien help to HITLER’s Third REICH, particularly in Antarctica where Reptilian, Nordic, and Gray aliens allegedly helped Nazis develop flying saucers that were capable of tremendous supersonic speeds, space travel and travel underwater at hundreds of miles per hour. Many of the aliens (especially Nordics) looked like us.
FIGURE 1 ABOVE. Probability spreadsheet for Figure 1 below. The matrix was found against odds of about 9,365,293 to 1. The most significant term was ALIENIZE which was found crossing UKRAINE with both terms only requiring 40 letters to be seen. Odds against a meeting this close were about 1,905 to 1.
When I started this article I was pretty sure that I knew one alien fairly well. There is a lot on this site about him – Craig Ebrahimi (see the Table of Contents above and Craig’s photo on Figure 2 below)…
FIGURE 2 above: Craig Ebrahimi claims to be an alien.
…But while this article was in progress, a woman that I knew from at least 11 years ago called me to inform me that she too is an alien – from a planet around a star named Meie in the Pleiades that was supposedly destroyed by belligerent aliens. Since she (and her husband) both originally called me again on September 22, 2022 they have both become nervous about the potential catastrophic consequences of her disclosure. Let’s just call her by her Hebrew first name here – Rivka (see Figure 4 and 5 below for more about her). As I have informed them both, I can limit how I refer to her in this article, but she allowed me to write about her wide-ranging contacts with multiple alien species 11 years ago, and reality is that I have no power to pull down all the material that was published by me or others since then.
Back to Figure 1. It includes ATOMIC at skip -2 and THREAT at skip -1. The alien threat is from under the desert and the word DESERT is in the open text. There are claims that the Nazis reached Mars. A transliteration of HITLER is at skip -3 and the Hebrew word for MARS is at skip -2 (but neither word has a high statistical significance). If the Nazis and aliens built a base on Mars , from what Salla writes, it should be run with slave labor. That includes sex slaves. The place would have no morality as we understand the term. It would be a real Sodom and Gomorrah. Figure 1 open text includes a reference to the Lord destroying Sodom (Gomorrah also appears if I extend the matrix slightly to the left).
In regards to the issue of a U.S. and alien base on Mars, the Israeli Professor Eshed only names aliens as working with us there now. The Jerusalem Post published his story on December 10, 2020:
FORMER ISRAELI SECURITY CHIEF SAYS ALIENS EXIST, HUMANITY NOT READY
This Galactic Federation has supposedly been in contact with Israel but keeping themselves a secret to prevent hysteria until humanity is ready.
Has the State of Israel made contact with aliens?
According to retired Israeli officer (Brigadier General) and current professor Haim Eshed, the answer is yes, but this has been kept a secret because “humanity isn’t ready.”
Speaking in an interview to Yediot Aharonot, Eshed – who served as the head of Israel’s space program for nearly 30 years and is a three-time recipient of the Israel Security Award – explained that Israel and the US have both been dealing with aliens for years.
And this by no means refers to immigrants, with Eshed clarifying the existence of a “Galactic Federation.”
The 87-year-old former head of the Defense Ministry’s Space Division gave further descriptions about exactly what sort of agreements have been made between the aliens and the US, which ostensibly have been made because they wish to research and understand “the fabric of the universe.” This cooperation includes a secret underground base on Mars, where there are American and alien representatives.
If true, this would coincide with US President Donald Trump’s creation of the Space Force as the fifth branch of the US armed forces, though it is unclear how long this sort of relationship, if any, has been going on between the US and its reported extraterrestrial allies.
But Eshed insists that Trump is aware of them, and that he was “on the verge” of disclosing their existence. However, the Galactic Federation reportedly stopped him from doing so, saying they wished to prevent mass hysteria since they felt humanity needed to “evolve and reach a stage where we will… understand what space and spaceships are,” Yediot Aharonot reported.
As for why he’s chosen to reveal this information now, Eshed explained that the timing was simply due to how much the academic landscape has changed, and how respected he is in academia.
“If I had come up with what I’m saying today five years ago, I would have been hospitalized,” he explained to Yediot.
He added that “today, they’re already talking differently. I have nothing to lose. I’ve received my degrees and awards; I am respected in universities abroad, where the trend is also changing.”
Eshed provided more information in his newest book, The Universe Beyond the Horizon – conversations with Professor Haim Eshed, along with other details such as how aliens have prevented nuclear apocalypses and “when we can jump in and visit the Men in Black.” The book is available now for $32.00 U.S., but it’s in Hebrew.
In regards to the issue of slavery and other crimes Rivka wrote to me on October 2, 2022 to say:
“Barry, how all of this fits together about planets and destruction would make sense if you and I return to the memory I have to being in the small craft and taken above the planet. That’s where I saw the grays taking an entire craft of hybrids (crazed out of their minds) to the Reptilians. They use them for food and for slaves. This group of grays were apologizing for interfering with humans. When I asked about the why, they explained about the ‘Shredder’ that had destroyed their planet and they were used by the Reptilians. I asked for an illustration of the Shredder and it was given. I drew it up. Years later, that’s when I saw a craft in one of the Star Trek movies that resembled what they had shown me. The small craft I was in above the planet during this incident resembles the small craft seen in the move, Mission to Mars. In that movie also, the scene where Gary Senise is placed in the gel with the energetic particles and placed in the small craft for travel is accurate!”
I have written about the Russian invasion of Ukraine before. Each time that I find and publish another Torah Codes matrix about the motive for Putin’s gamble it becomes clearer that he is responding to an extraterrestrial threat although he is certainly concerned by an April 16, 2021 article published by Aljazeera that said “Ukraine may seek nuclear weapons if left out of NATO. That article also said that, “Andriy Melnyk, Ukraine’s ambassador to Germany, suggested to national public radio network Deutschlandfunk on Thursday (April 15, 2021) that President Volodymyr Zelensky’s administration was weighing up all possible options as fears mount over a possible escalation of hostilities in the country’s conflict-stricken east.
How prepared is Ukraine to handle nuclear weapons? Wikipedia states, that, “After the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Ukraine held about one third of the Soviet nuclear arsenal, the third largest in the world at the time, as well as significant means of its design and production.[2] 130 UR-100N intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBM) with six warheads each, 46 RT-23 Molodets ICBMs with ten warheads apiece, as well as 33 heavy bombers, totaling approximately 1,700 warheads remained on Ukrainian territory.”
It’s possible that Putin launched his war because he was concerned about both the potential of Ukraine going nuclear again and about ET seizing control of power in Ukraine. Indeed, I have written much on this site about renaming our “Deep State” what I think it really is – the Fourth Reich. How does this match up with Putin’s words? He says, repeatedly, that his goal in the invasion is the Denazification of Ukraine! Where are these Nazis?
Ukraine has indeed been witnessing ultranationalist movements spearheaded by many outfits. The most prominent is the ultra-nationalist Azov Battalion that came into being in 2014. Backed and funded by oligarchs and Ukraine’s government, Azov drew all-volunteer fighters from groups believed to harbor far-right, neo-Nazi, white supremacist, xenophobic and anti-Semitic ideology. More, Azov founder Andriy Biletsky, nicknamed Bely Vozd, or White Ruler, said in 2010 that Ukraine’s national purpose was to “lead the white races in a final crusade against inferior races”. In 2015, Azov said about 15 per cent of its recruits were Nazis. Nazi symbols can be seen on their bodies and uniforms.
While these facts are troubling, in 2019 the Ukrainian people elected Volodymyr Zelenskyya, a Jew, as their President. If 15% of Azov recruits were Nazi, 85% were not. However, if we are to believe the basic assertions of Michael Salla’s books (and I think that most of what he says is credible), many of the Nazi allies in Antarctica before and during World War 2 were ETs, whether Reptilians, Nordics or Grays. Putin is supposedly concerned about at least three alien space arks. One of them, according to Salla, is in Russia and under Putin’s control. Two are supposedly in Ukraine of which one is about 15 miles east of the town of Kherson which was an initial target of Putin’s invasion. Sorry, I haven’t yet seen any claims about the second Ukrainian space ark’s specific location.
The Kherson ark incident was the topic of a previous matrix that I published. See Figure 3. I have not had anything about where the ark came from before but on September 22, 2022 I spoke to a woman that I had interviewed before about abduction experiences. She was much more forthcoming this time, and claimed that she herself was of ET origin. Rivka Renfro is encoded in Torah in a manner that lends support to her claim – See Figures 4 and 5. She said that she was from a planet around a star in the Pleiades named Miai. The star is a blue-white giant. Rivka asserted that her home-world was destroyed by Reptilians. It was burned, but before it was, people there were allowed to escape. She said that the enemy had planet shredders. She also says she was interviewed here by members of the intelligence community but preferred to not comment further about who was spoken to or why they wanted to hear from her. They were aware of the incident. Before dismissing it as nonsense see Figure 5 and consider that her claimed star is shown on the flag of both NASA and the Space Force! If true it’s at least part of Putin’s concern. He may have a very legitimate reason for fearing acts in Ukraine.
Figure 3 above. It’s probability spreadsheet is below. With an axis term of SPACE ARK, the most significant significant terms were KHERSON and SAND DUNES. Without considering axis term ELS rank (197) each term was found against odds of about 314 to 1. However, at the end of the calculation we divide total combined significance by 197 to account for the high ELS rank of the axis term. Combined odds against the matrix are thus about 720,917 to 1.
FIGURE 4 above – Rifka Renfro. This matrix needs further study due to her September 22, 2022 somewhat fuzzy claim about having an ET origin. Its probability spreadsheet is shown below. This matrix emphasizes what is to the left of the axis term. It includes the term ARK that describes what is used to evacuate people and other life forms. It seems to fit in with space arks like that supposedly near Kherson, Ukraine that Putin hit first in his invasion. On September 29, 2022 Kherson was the only major Ukrainian city that Russia still occupied. Odds against this matrix were about 3,594,427 to 1. It’s amazing that on one matrix four key terms are at the same skip (+/-63,331) as the axis term (RIVKA RENFRO). They are the PLEIADES Constellation that she claimed to come from, the MEIE star in it where the planet was for her home world, the ARK that likely brought her to Earth as a baby and other people and other life forms to our solar system, and TO THE UFO that likely also applies to her trip to Earth.
Rivka sounded definite about her home world on September 22, 2022 but on September 25, 2022 she and her husband were nervous about the implications for personal safety if I publish too much. If true, although she is very religious, what she has done was to plant the seeds for disproving common beliefs based on the Bible, accepted beliefs in physics, and generally accepted portraits of world history. However, what she also appears to have done is to sound a wake up call about alien races hiding on Earth or working with corrupt government officials who seem to have no remorse about culling or destroying the human population on Earth so long as there is a lot of money and/or biotechnology given in exchange.
Figure 5 above adds valuable information that’s found to the right of the same axis term. It seems to describe destruction of a world that orbited the star MIAI. EVACUATION and TO EARTH are mentioned (as is EXTINCTION, but that term is not at a special case skip of +/-1 or the absolute skip of the axis term). The spreadsheet for Figure 5 is given below. Odds against the matrix were about 894,107 to 1.
FIGURE 6 ABOVE – RIVKA RENFRO might sound odd when she claims that she might be from a planet orbiting the star MIAI before the planet was destroyed by aliens. However, both NASA and the U.S. Space Force put her home star on their flags. Both flags show her home constellation (the Pleiades) and that of the Reptilians (Alpha Draconis). NASA’s flag also shows the constellation Orion. It has a star (Betelgeuse) that is threatening to blow up as a supernova and kill life out to 70 light years away. The Space Force flag only shows what looks like a blown up Betelgeuse. While a blown up Betelgeuse is too far away to kill us, it would be visible here during daylight hours and at night it would cast a shadow. Rivka wants to know how a planet would be burned at the top like burnt toast and then have the bottom half left a cream yellow molting like jelly. That’s hard to know without having information about the chemical composition, but if the world was half forest and half water then the forest could have been burnt to a crisp when the water half was heated, perhaps to boil or near boil and then was colored by material that was dissolved in the hot sea.
On September 27, 2022 I questioned Rivka at length about the issue of her birth. In particular I wanted to know about what memories she had of her youth. She said she was born in 1951. I had previously asked about having any birth certificate. Here is what she said about it:
“When my husband and I were making plans to travel abroad to Scotland, I was in need of a passport. My Birth Certificate was refused and I was told I had to get another one. It took a while to apply for it in Virginia and I was not given the reason why it was refused.”
When questioned more about her memories she claimed the ETs began abducting her when she was seven years old. At one point, when she had odds dreams, on the following day when she was awake she said two men who self-identified as being from the Pleiades approached her with an explanation of the dream. I then asked her about her earliest memory.
She remembers small dragons that sound like baby Reptilians. She says they wanted to attack her, but were stopped by an angelic-like woman. This memory is obviously not a normal one and tends to support the ET origin idea. I don’t know how early children can see anything like monsters in their dreams. In 1951 I doubt that there were movies on TV that could stimulate such thoughts in babies, but when my oldest son was two I had a custody fight for him that was covered in the Miami Herald. The court ordered a psychological evaluation. In it the doctor asked Robert about his three wishes. The boy said, “My three wishes are . . . (1) Have a birdie. (2) That I can go to sleep and there are no ghosts. (3) Be with my Daddy.” He never complained to me about ghosts. I have no idea why he expressed such a fear, but in Rivka’s case her dragons seem to have stayed with her throughout her life. She remembered at least 15 separate Reptilians that took her.
She is adamant about her being contacted rather than abducted. I have seen this kind of denial in other abductees that I have interviewed before (particularly with Commander/PhD C.B. Scott Jones, who was top advisor for Senator Claiborne Bell who headed the Senate Foreign Relation Committee). I disagree with Rivka’s characterization because she said she was taken while her mother (or, my words, possible acting mother) was present but opposed to her ET travels. Was her mother the woman who raised her but allowed her to be taken, or the angelic-like woman who stopped infant Reptilians from harming her on her early trip to Earth? The angelic-like woman was in another incident in the same Grandmother’s home around when Rifka was 10 years old. That also had to do with being shown her life and told about knowing what to do in the future.
I know that she doesn’t want to talk about it, but as I explained to her, when she talks to me she is talking to a career military man. If she knows anything about beings with a track record of destroying planets she can be assured that I will get that information out to the intelligence community readers that are my target audience. True, I no longer trust the CIA because they hired a communist (John Brennan) as Obama’s CIA Director. I no longer trust the FBI because they did everything in their power to use false evidence to try to impeach Trump. But, despite the threat to plant child porno on my site, I still have reason to believe that the honest intelligence agents that we have left, if any, are in the U.S. military. Rivka was interviewed by people from the intelligence community but she does not choose to discuss who it was and what was discussed. Fort Huachuca, the ball remains in your court.
From my point of view the hardest part of trying to convince Fort Huachuca to do what is right for America is that via my interview with Joseph Sapphire on August 1, 2016 and mistakes made since then they have demonstrated time-manipulation capabilities. What does this mean? It means that when I write with Fort Huachuca as a target audience, there are really two Fort Huachucas that I must reach out to – the ever changing Current Fort Huachuca – and the approaching Future Fort Huachuca. It is the Future Fort that was/will be able to look at the Cape Canaveral Library records to tell Joseph when to be waiting for me in the library parking lot and what to discuss with me about the newly checked out book (Slant by Greg Bear) that was in my hand as I walked out of the building only to be met by Joseph who was blocking my entrance into my car. I have written before about Andrew Basiago’s claims of travel in time and also to Mars. Rivka has very similar memories of traveling in space in 1997, and in time. She claims to have used a jump room like the one that Basiago used to reach Mars (or a simulation of Mars).
Rivka wrote, “As a child, the ones who picked me up at the front door with my mother there, had something to do with Time. My mother said there were 5 of them and ugly as hell. I remember more of different sizes and more like shadow figures. I was taken by them in a craft to a location that had to do with Time – Forward and Back. Something about being placed at a specific time and it had to be repeated.
“In 1997, when we reached the planet and I went down to the surface, there was an empty spacesuit there lying on the ground. I was picked up by two figures that took me to a Time Tunnel and I was swept up the tunnel to a ‘Time Location‘ and placed back in to another time.
“Now…if you ask me to explain this, I can’t. I do remember being returned once to my mother – doing a repeat – in other words, repeating the same scene of them picking me up at the door. I remember looking up at her, smiling and saying, “It’s OK Mom. I’m OK. I’m going with them.” She says she was never forced and she went accordingly. The ET’s she met in the back field were connected with the military. “The military did not choose me, but the ET’s did.” However, if her story is true then my appeal to Fort Huachuca for a reverse in policy and a full return to loyalty to the United States will be especially difficult to achieve. The time travel aspect is hard to tackle because it has the potential to be the greatest weapon ever found. We could possibly prevent the birth of all our enemies. But if Huachuca’s prime directive was to keep time time travel a secret, they have already suffered a setback due to all the information that they have revealed to me.
Like a lot of abductees, Rivka seemed to have some ESP abilities, so I asked her to look at Craig Ebrahimi’s photo and tell me what, if anything, she saw in it that seemed significant to her. She responded with her thoughts about Craig and also about my role in the UFO arena especially with respect to Fort Huachuca.
She had some thoughts about Ebrahimi and about how she thinks Huachuca has been using me. Rivka wrote:
Craig’s picture. Here’s what I picked up:
“Militarized, Shown Videos, Sad, Left eye is the Killer (he threatened to bring me down with his eye or eyes), Right eye is him.”
Rivka continued with her thoughts about me: “I believe that it is possible the following scenario is plausible. You were chosen for contact. (You told me that he knew about you).” When Craig first contacted me he was able to describe the view from my living room. She says that, “He (Craig) was part of a military plan to pick this up. You were to be a conduit for the ‘material’ to reach others.” I’m not sure of what she meant by this. If she is referring to COVID-19 materials, Craig shipped his likely contaminated meteorite sample to Dr. Chandra Wickramasinghe on June 19, 2018 and Craig did not contact me until January 26, 202o. By December, 2019 his meteorite and his name were already in the Chinese Press. See Figure 7.
FIGURE 7 – Craig Ebrahimi and his alien embryo in the Chinese press on December 27, 2019.
Rivka continued, “This contact with him would then place you as a person of interest and known as one who is ‘guilty by association. (The up front in your face approach of the Cabal, Satanic Cult, and other groups are to show what they are about to do. This is a repeated pattern and is consistent with how they operate. It makes it look implausible and impossible to believe to the general public and always labeled as ‘Conspiracy’).”
He could be implanted with material both AI and parts of alien DNA. His legs don’t look real or in proportion to the body. As if blown off, regrown and had prosthetic or metal material. That’s the impression of his stance and what is coming across.
He has an effeminate/male on the face. The sadness picked up emanated mostly from the eyes as I pictured a small boy trapped.
It was not good to remain looking (at him) because whatever this person has been through or chosen to do or assigned to do begins to envelop the observer.”
Frankly, I like Craig’s picture because many people who see it think that it tends to back the idea that he is what he says he is – an alien. As a scientist, seeing his picture makes me feel like I have been selected for something like a first mission to Mars. His apparent anger or sadness does not trouble me because I was deliberately provoking him with hopes of learning more about his threat to attack me with his eyes. Rivka’s reaction about Craig’s left eye being a killer was more than I had hoped to get out of the provocation, but it is, as a retired war planner, the kind of intelligence that I like to pass on to what I hope are remaining loyal intelligence assets that might survive in our plus British and Israeli military forces. I mention the Brits because the UK Ministry of Defense often tracks my work and the Israelis because Haim Eshed wrote in the the Jerusalem Post that as Director of the Israeli Space Program he worked with aliens.
I’m not sure about why she thought Craig looked effeminate in any way. As for his mood, it was angry. I had just provoked him a few minutes before the picture was taken because I wanted to see what he looked like after threatening me. He looked very different than what I saw on earlier photos, almost (but not quite) different enough to suggest that he is a shape-shifter. He might have been sad because he was not getting his way with me. He wanted me to accept at face value his claim that the ‘embryo’ was alien. I was demanding an evaluation of amino acids, if any, and any findings of DNA or RNA. A DNA analysis is not easy because it might destroy the sample.
The suggestion that Craig is in bed with the U.S. military should not be summarily dismissed. From day 1 of my contact with him it was clear that he didn’t care much about people and that he only wanted to get extremely rich by selling his meteorite to a pharmaceutical company for an enormous amount of money. Already claiming to be a millionaire (with only a 6th grade education) Craig once wrote that he wanted to be a zillionaire. He was furious with me when I wrote about the remark, and he demanded that I remove the quote.
A word is needed here about how my politics have changed over time. At the age of 16 I called the CIA to find out about how I could become a CIA agent (I was a James Bond fan but I didn’t buy a Walther PPK 385, Bond’s gun until 2021. I was an FBI fan for most of my life and I often called them when I thought they could use a tip about how to prevent a potential terrorist plot. But when I saw them plot to overthrow President Trump I knew that they had turned from a heroic organization to a criminal one. I now favor their dissolution and replacement with military personnel who have combat experience.
As for the military I served in the Naval Reserve for 10 years and in the Coast Guard Reserve for 24 years. For 15 of those 34 years I was on active duty. You can imagine how I felt when Joseph Sapphire told me that he was a former MARINE (at the top of my list of respected organizations) and then threatened me with loading child porn on my web site so they could close the site down! Yes, he backed off that position before our meeting was over, but it was a real eye opener – made far worse when Obama and later Biden were elected although I viewed both as Communists. I was not always a Republican. In fact, although I voted Republican in seven presidential elections, I voted for a Democrat for six other elections.
In 2020 most military personnel over the age if 55 voted Republican for Trump, but in the new Woke military most folks under 55 voted for Biden. I see our Government now as being controlled by the Fourth Reich. According Dr. Michael Salla, the Navy, with the help of Nordic aliens, developed a Secret Space Program that looks a lot like what has been portrayed in Star Trek shows for decades. See his books The U.S. Navy’s Secret Space Program & Nordic Extraterrestrial Alliance; Space Force Our Star Trek Future; and US Air Force Space Program, Shifting Extraterrestrial Alliances & Space Forces. The Air Force developed a Secret Space Program largely with the help of Reptilians, but it is nowhere near as advanced as the Navy’s Program. During the Holocaust the aliens helping the Nazis the most were Reptilians (in Antarctica).
It will be quite ironic if Craig turns out to be allied with anyone in the U.S. military because I worked hard to be sure that they were aware of the possibility that he brought COVID here, whether by design or accident. However, given that Craig accidentally sent me an email early in 2020 that showed he was trying to sell his meteorite to Pfizer Pharmaceutical who now makes the only Covid vaccine that the U.S. military uses on its personnel, it’s possible that such an alliance is at or near the core of the Fourth Reich. Craig called me first, with a little bit too much knowledge of my life. The full correct picture is one with Dr. Fauci at the top of our anti-Covid campaign, being paid more than our president while giving hundreds of thousands to the Wuhan Lab in China and while doing Gain of Function viral research that likely played a role in developing Covid. In this environment is it possible that Craig was working with our military? Yes, but I doubt that he was.
Was it possible that Craig was working for the Chinese Army? Yes, that makes some sense. Why? Because Craig gave a sample of his meteorite to Chandra Wickramasinghe at the University of Buckingham in England. Chandra sent it to his home in Sri Lanka. He claims it was stolen there, but Wickramasinghe lied. He gave it or sold it to Professor Jiangwen Qu at the Center for Infectious Disease Control in Tianjin, China. Wickramasinghe and Qu published several articles together that accurately predicated when the pandemic would start. AND WHO CONTROLS THE CENTER FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASE CONTROL IN TIANJIN, CHINA? THE CHINESE ARMY! So, it appears that the Covid virus on Craig’s meteorite passed from Craig’s hands via Wickramasinghe and Qu right into the hands of the Chinese Army early enough to give them a chance to make a vaccine that they could use after killing about 5,000 Chinese in a test. See the shipping receipt on Figure 8.
Figure 8 – Craig Ebrahimi’s skipping Receipt. His meteorite sample went from Sooke, Canada to Wickramasinghe in the U.K. From there it went to his home in Sri Lanka, into the hands of Jiangwen Qu in Tianjin, China and the Chinese Army. Within 4 months of shipment of the sample Wickramasinghe and Qu submitted a joint paper predicting a comet bringing a pandemic to Earth in the following year. This is the likely true source of the pandemic.
