Well, he's done it again. Tom Horn, that is. He has another series on his website called:
"EXO-VATICANA"
Petrus Romanus, PROJECT LUCIFER, and the Vatican's
astonishing exo-theological plan for the arrival of an alien savior.
You only think you know what's coming...

PART I: THE INVESTIGATION BEGINS
MOUNT GRAHAM & THE L.U.C.I.F.E.R
PROJECT
by Tom Horn and Cris Putnam
“L.U.C.I.F.E.R., which stands for “Large Binocular
Telescope Near-infrared Utility with Camera and Integral Field Unit for
Extragalactic Research,” is a chilled instrument attached to a telescope in
Arizona. And yes, it’s named for the Devil, whose name itself means “morning
star” [and which] happens to be right next to the Vatican Observatory on Mt.
Graham in Tucson.”— Rebecca Boyle, Popular Science Magazine
SEARCHING FOR LUCIFER FROM ATOP THE HOLY MOUNTAIN
It was approximately 11: AM (PST) as we rounded the final
bend and saw just ahead the towering edifices housing the Large Binocular
Telescope (LBT), an optical telescope for astronomy and currently one of the
world’s most advanced systems. Near it was the Submillimeter Telescope (SMT) or
as it is also known, the Heinrich Hertz Submillimeter Telescope building, a
“state-of-the-art single-dish radio telescope for observations in the
sub-millimeter wavelength range… the most accurate radio telescope ever built.”
[i][ii] And last but not least about a block away from them we observed our
primary reason for trudging to the top of this peak—the Vatican Advanced
Technology Telescope or VATT.
Of course we had read the official story from the Vatican
Observatory Website before making the trip, how VATT truly lives up to its
name:
“Its heart is a 1.8-m f/1.0 honeycombed construction,
borosilicate primary mirror. This was manufactured at the University of Arizona
Mirror Laboratory, and it pioneered both the spin-casting techniques and the
stressed-lap polishing techniques of that Laboratory which are being used for
telescope mirrors up to 8.4-m in diameter. The primary mirror is so
deeply-dished that the focus of the telescope is only as far above the mirror
as the mirror is wide, thus allowing a structure that is about three times as
compact as the previous generation of telescope designs.” [i][iii]
Such technical language aside, the “Observers” who are
approved to operate VATT and what they are using it for these days is what
would take us through the looking glass. This was confirmed minutes later by
the Jesuit Father on duty that day (whom we got on film) who told us that among
the most important research occurring with the site’s Vatican astronomers is
the quest to pinpoint certain extrasolar planets and advanced alien intelligence.
He then proceeded (as did our guide) to show us all around the observatory—from
the personal quarters of the Church’s astronomers—where they ate, slept,
relaxed, studied—to the control rooms, computer screens and systems, and even
the telescope itself. While we were given complete and unrestricted opportunity
to question how the devices are used and what distinctives set each of the
telescopes on Mt. Graham apart, we had not expected the ease with which the
astronomers and technicians would also speak of UFOs! This was especially true
when we walked up the gravel road from VATT to the Large Binocular Telescope
(LBT), where we spent most of the day with a systems engineer who not only took
us to all seven levels of that mighty machine—pointing out the LUCIFER device
and what it is used for (which he lovingly referred to as “Lucy” several times
and elsewhere as “Lucifer”) as well as every other aspect of the telescope we
tried to wrap our minds around—but who also stunned us as we sat in the control
room, listening to him and the astronomers speak so casually of the redundancy
with which UFOs are captured on screens darting through the heavens. Our
friendly engineer didn’t blink an eye, nor did any of the other scientists in
the room, and we were shocked at this, how ordinary it seemed to be.
But as much as the commonality of UFO sightings on Mt.
Graham’s telescopes intrigued, this was not the primary reason for our being
there. We had come with deeper questions concerning high-level Vatican
astronomers and what they had been leaking to, and discussing with, media in
recent years. Captivating comments from Jesuit priests like Guy Consolmagno—a
leading astronomer who often turns up in media as a spokesman for the Vatican
who has worked at NASA and taught at Harvard and MIT and who currently splits
his time between the Vatican Observatory and laboratory (Specola Vaticana)
headquartered at the summer residence of the Pope in Castel Gandolfo, Italy,
and Mt. Graham in Arizona. Over the last few years, he has focused so much of
his time and effort in an attempt to reconcile science and religion in public
forums specifically as it relates to the subject of extraterrestrial life and
its potential impact on the future of faith that we decided to contact him. He
agreed to be interviewed from Rome, and over the numerous exchanges that
followed he told us some things that seemed beyond the scope. He even sent us a
copy of a private pdf, a literal goldmine of what he and the Vatican are
considering regarding the ramifications of astrobiology and specifically the
discovery of advanced extraterrestrials... in which he admits how contemporary
societies will soon “look to The Aliens to be the Saviours of humankind.”
