Lue Elizondo’s Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day 12.05.2025

While we wait for the third part of the interview with the Immaculate Constellation whistleblower to drop, let’s talk about a surprisingly eventful few weeks in the UFO world, including a UFO roundtable at Congress, multiple new whistleblowers, and Lue Elizondo sharing a UFO photo that was quickly debunked, upsetting a lot of people in the community, and leading to fears of disinformation. You can...

JFK Advisor Malmgren Handled UFO Debris 27.04.2025

Harald Malmgren was an advisor to multiple US presidents, including JFK, and involved in numerous historic incidents, including in the war room during the Cuban missile crisis. Days before he died, he gave a final interview to Jesse Michels, exploring his interactions with the UAP topic throughout his life. He makes several interesting claims, including that he saw footage of a UFO being brought d...

Skywatcher: “100% Success Rate” Summoning UAP 14.04.2025

UAP whistleblower Jake Barber’s group, Skywatcher, has had a busy few weeks. They announced they intend to prove mechanical and psionic UAP summoning by the end of the year. To support that goal, they released a scientific discovery framework, a structured way to handle UAP research, with six levels that each require more scrutiny before eventually graduating to public acceptance. Plus, they dropp...

UAP Whistleblower Grusch Hired to Assist Task Force 30.03.2025

Rep. Eric Burlison has hired UAP whistleblower David Grusch to his personal staff. This will allow Grusch to advise Burlison (who is on the House Oversight Committee and is investigating UFOs for the Federal Secrets Task Force) on the topic of UFOs, and enable Congress to restore his clearance, so he can step into a SCIF to brief the Task Force, along with Lue Elizondo and Christopher Mellon! You...

White House Drone Answer Disappoints 03.03.2025

This week we’re bringing you updates to a bunch of long-running stories. We’ve got the latest on the Congressional UAP Task Force, as well as updates on NASA’s UAP efforts. Skywatcher is preparing their next video, Elon Musk is making some wild claims, and we’re diving into the White House’s unsatisfying official answer to the New Jersey mystery drone situation. You can find show notes and referen...

UAP Declassification Task Force 17.02.2025

Since the last Congressional UAP hearing, there has been growing demand for a UAP select committee, and pressure on President Trump’s administration to push for UFO disclosure. This week, we learned that Rep. Luna will head the Task Force On the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which will investigate, among other topics, the JFK files and the UAP topic, resulting in at least two further UAP he...

Jake Barber Summons UFO at Nude Hot Springs 08.02.2025

UFO crash retrieval program whistleblower Jake Barber made some shocking claims in his first interview with Ross Coulthart. Now, they’ve released the full-length 3-hour interview, as well as interviews with his supporting witnesses, another 3-hour interview with Jesse Michels, and Skywatcher’s first video documenting their attempt to summon a UFO. Join us as we discuss the additional details revea...

Jake Barber: New Whistleblower Worked for UFO Retrieval Program 24.01.2025

This week Ross Coulthart introduced his new whistleblower, Jake Barber, an Air Force veteran who has come out as a whistleblower claiming to have worked in the secret UFO crash retrieval program. He shared stories of recovering exotic craft from a testing range in the desert, where he and his team were made ill by their exposure to the things they recovered. Barber says he recovered at least two n...

Cybertruck Bomber Says Mystery Drones are Chinese Anti-Gravity Tech 07.01.2025

Mystery drone swarms in New Jersey and elsewhere are ongoing, triggering further FAA flight restrictions, snark from former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick, and claims that FBI drone detection tech is inadequate. Perhaps most surprising, however, is that the Cybertruck bomber sent an email claiming to be read into a secret UAP program, and that the drones are Chinese technology, using “gravitic” pr...

Mystery Drones: Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes, Government Says 23.12.2024

It’s been more than a month of nightly drone swarms over New Jersey, and the sightings have now spread to four additional military bases, as well as civilian sightings coast-to-coast. The government attempted to explain the sightings away as hobby drones and misidentified stars, and made a bizarre claim that no sightings have occurred in restricted airspace. But with Air Force bases being shut dow...

Mystery Drone Swarms in New Jersey & UK 09.12.2024

Last year, mysterious drone swarms targeted Navy ships and Langley Air Force Base, nearly colliding with an F22 and causing a fighter squadron to be relocated. Despite intense investigation, their origin is still unknown. This year, the drones are back! This time they’re targeting several RAF bases in the UK as well as the entire state of New Jersey. They’ve been in the air every night for over tw...

“Truly Anomalous:” AARO’s 2024 Annual UAP Report 25.11.2024

AARO’s new director, Dr. Jon Kosloski, got his first moments in the spotlight this week, dropping the newest annual UAP report, hosting a media roundtable, and appearing before the Senate. He confirmed UAP are real, some cases are “truly anomalous,” and discussed some cases they’re investigating. He also shared a pretty unsatisfactory resolution for the 2017 GoFast video. You can find show notes a...

Bombshell UAP Hearing: Exposing the Truth 18.11.2024

In the latest Congressional UAP hearing, retired Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, former AATIP director Lue Elizondo, and journalist Michael Shellenberger testified that secret UAP crash retrieval, reverse engineering, and surveillance programs are being illegally concealed from Congress. Lawmakers were warned not to ask certain questions, AARO engaged in a disinformation effort against a witness,...

US Elections and UAP Disclosure: What's Next? 10.11.2024

Hot on the heels of the US election, we’re looking ahead to consider whether the upcoming government changes will impact the push for UFO disclosure, or the November 13 UAP hearing in Congress. We also discuss persistent rumors that the James Webb Space Telescope has detected signs of life, and why it’s probably nothing to get excited about. We’ll be back with an episode soon after the hearing! Up...

Death Threats and Dead Man’s Switches 28.10.2024

This week we’re covering a selection of UFO-related news. The National Archives extended the deadline for government agencies to turn over their UAP files. Journalists George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell have received credible death threats, and have created dead man’s switches to trigger “catastrophic disclosure” if anything happens to them. The November UAP hearings in both the Senate and the House...

Immaculate Constellation: New Whistleblower Reveals Another Pentagon UFO Program 13.10.2024

Journalist Michael Shellenberger broke the news of a new whistleblower who has provided a report to Congress on an illegally concealed Pentagon program called “Immaculate Constellation.” This is a parent program that is designed to “detect” and “quarantine” UFO data from the rest of the DoD. Could this lead to further disclosures during the upcoming Congressional UAP hearings? You can find show no...

Upcoming UAP Hearings in Congress 29.09.2024

This week we’re covering a grab bag of UFO news that happened while we were talking about Lue Elizondo’s book. We’ve got presidential advisor Harald Malmgren announcing that he was briefed on the UAP reverse engineering program, stories of a massive and incredibly fast USO, a bit of information about the new Director of AARO, upcoming UAP hearings in both the House and the Senate, and the latest s...

Colares: When UFOs Attacked in Brazil 23.09.2024

In Lue Elizondo’s book, he dedicates a chapter to a bizarre historical case that informed his UFO threat narrative: In 1977, in Colares, Brazil, UFOs attacked and terrorized thousands of people. The attacks were investigated, witnessed, and documented by the Brazilian Air Force. The resulting report, including photos of videos of UFOs, was covered up, until it leaked in the 90s, culminating with t...

How Lue Elizondo Saved AATIP 02.09.2024

Ever since Lue Elizondo emerged as a whistleblower in the New York Times in 2017, the Pentagon has constantly changed their story about him. First they acknowledged he ran the UFO program, then they said it wasn’t a UFO program and Lue wasn’t involved. Lue claims it’s retaliation for going public, and filed an Inspector General complaint. Let’s get to the bottom of what Lue did in AAWSAP/AATIP, ho...

Imminent: Lue Elizondo and the Pentagon’s Secret UFO Program 24.08.2024

Lue Elizondo’s new book: Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs is finally out, and it’s jam-packed with fascinating information. Broadly speaking, Lue confirms David Grusch’s allegations about an illegally hidden UAP crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, but he also gets into the back story about how AATIP split from AAWSAP under his direction, how he left the Pentagon for T...

“Major things happening” - Matthew Pines 18.08.2024

Matthew Pines, the Director of Intelligence at SentinelOne, spoke recently about the UAP Disclosure Act being resubmitted for the NDAA, and the “major things” that are coming this summer to support it, including Lue Elizondo’s book, two documentaries with new people backing David Grusch’s claims, and “someone everyone would recognize.” You can find show notes and references at our website, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠...

Remote Viewing: The CIA’s Secret Psychic Spy Program 05.08.2024

Back in 1995 the CIA declassified a 20-year long secret spy program that used psychics! What was this program? Why was it declassified? Did it work? Why are we talking about this on a UFO podcast? We’ll dive into the answers to all those questions in this exciting episode! You can find show notes and references at our website, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠VeryExcitingTime.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ , or support us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠patreon.co...

“We are in contact with NHI:” Tim Gallaudet 22.07.2024

Today we’re talking about the latest high-profile figure to call for public disclosure of contact with a non-human intelligence, retired US Navy Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet. After serving as administrator of NOAA, he’s now on the boards of the SOL Foundation and Americans for Safe Aerospace, and is publicly advocating for further investigation into USO and increased undersea exploration. You can fi...

UFO Amendments in the 2025 NDAA 08.07.2024

This week we’re checking in with Congress. Understandably, it seems the UAP issue is taking a back seat in the run up to the election, but we’ve still got a bit of movement on two fronts. First, there are several UAP amendments being considered for the 2025 NDAA, including improved whistleblower protections and possibly reintroducing the full UAP disclosure act. We’ll also look into when and if we...

Did you know that two different presidents have reported UFO sightings? Or that one president campaigned with a promise to open the UFO files? Find out which president is rumored to have attended a meeting with extraterrestrials at an air force base, and which president is reportedly afraid that he’ll be killed if he speaks publicly about UAP.
