UFOs are now called UAPs (Unidentified Arial Phenomena), and there is a growing groundswell of revelatory movement on the topic reverberating through the halls of Washington and around the world right now. I'm serious. I've been following this movement for the past several years and disclosure news is now dropping on the topic almost daily. I break it down high level, sharing what I'm seeing from my vantage point, and what I think is going on here...
UFO UAP & The Disclosure Movement
(0:02 - 9:10)
Okay, let's do this. I'm gonna drop into the UFO topic in this episode, which has been wild. Is anyone else following what's going on with this? I've been talking to my buddies about it, more so just harassing them about this topic as I've been following what's been going on for the past several years and it's been pretty mind-blowing.
Listen, here's what's happening, and I want to kind of tighten this up a bit or keep this tight as I can and kind of high level because there's a lot of moving parts, but to share the story of what's going on in this topic, and if you're interested in it, a good way to follow what's happening has been on Twitter or Reddit, but a lot of what's on Reddit is referencing what's coming up on Twitter and a lot of the power players in this arena, you say, have been on Twitter, joined Twitter, all this sort of stuff, and so if you go under the hashtag UFO Twitter, there's a, it's just kind of like the hashtag for this topic, really. I'd suggest, not the only one, but like a big thread of this stuff, and from there you can find who the most kind of active influencers are in the space. I could probably name a bunch of them for you here, but we'll get into maybe some of that in a few, but like what's happened, you know, so since way, way back, people have been seeing things, right, in the sky, and we're talking like way back, like there's reference to like historical texts, you know, old engravings, I believe biblical references, I'm not the like the all-in-all encyclopedic source on this stuff, so like the knowledge is from what I've absorbed, but I believe all these things to be true that I'm saying now, and I share from what I've seen, and this has been going on a long time, and then there's references dating back to the Roswell incident, which is Roswell, New Mexico, which was in the 40s, and all right, it was the 40s, I'm just gonna make sure, I'm always gonna check myself 100% as I'm just shooting this off the cuff, but so in and around that time, and it was supposedly like a crash on a farm, like all this kind of shattered, basically, material, I guess, that was recovered, and it was at first reported as being a UFO, and then the next day was retracted and said it was a weather balloon, and a bunch of stuff was like, you know, shown as the debris as evidence, and there's been, you know, rumors of bodies recovered and all this stuff, like going way back to the 40s, and then all this stuff since, and then along that journey, there was Project Blue Book, and like a pretty well-documented effort to like wrap heads around this topic, but also it seemed to be an effort to discredit interest in the subject, and make it a bit of a, you know, of a, of like a kind of an outside, or like a, what's the right word I'm looking for, you know, kind of trying to make it, I need the word, I'm looking for the word, just, just, you know, trying to kind of make it, you know, like, like funny business, like, to make it, you know, not mainstream, so people think, you know, that people who thought about that stuff were crazy, and, and all that, right, so just to really like knock it down, shoot the story down, boy it took a lot to get some words for that, but that was generally the take until, I believe it was Hyman, who was the kind of head of this program afterwards, and changed his mind, post the report, and said, you know, actually there's a lot of stuff here that doesn't make a lot of sense, and that was despite their findings, but Blue Book like kind of shut the topic down for a long time, and then this has still been going on, and I mean there's researchers for decades that have been all over this material, there's cases that go like so deep, and there's so many cases, there's so many cases of even just, you know, crashes, and reported crashes, and all kinds of stuff, there's cases of visitations, like the aerial school in Zimbabwe, there's the Virginia case, which has recently come out in James Fox's doc, Moment of Contact, which I highly recommend watching, his other doc, while we're on the subject, called The Phenomenon, is really great, and it's just, it's just really encapsulating like what I'm talking about, and, and so this is all just like still percolating, whatever, but always like an outside topic, almost an occult topic, and all this, right, and I've had an interest in it most of my life, I feel that personally we aren't alone in the universe, and I feel all this evidence where there's smoke, there tends to be fire, and it's really curious just how much in this world there seems to be, so, so I've been following this along, and then in like, oh, what year was that? I want to say 2017, there was video released, and it leaked to the New York Times, and they published this video, and I mean, look, like people have said for a long time that the government has all kinds of photography, and not just the government, but like, you know, Western governments have all kinds of various photography, and video, you know, satellite data, like, all kinds of stuff about these occurrences, and haven't been very forthcoming about them, and, and so these videos come out, so everybody goes kind of bananas about it all, and there's a whole, you know, what is all this? So it, it lights a fire, I feel, and renews a lot of energy around the space, because it gets a lot of people's attention, and, you know, New York Times still has a lot of influence, I feel, and it's a credible publication, generally, and there's a lot of people who want to argue about things like that, but I believe it is, and, and so they publish this story, people can see the videos, and go, what the heck are these things, and what are they doing? And it doesn't make sense.
So there's some emergent characters in that period that had a lot of experience in political circles, so I generally call these folks like the adults in the room. They understand how to navigate the, the political halls, they understand how to communicate, they understand how to get things done and moving, they've been in very senior positions in that arena, and I feel that's largely, in many cases, differed from your kind of typical researcher profile, no disrespect to anybody that I'm not necessarily familiar with, but generally, you know, that, that's the case, so these guys start, you know, and have been working behind the scenes. Who's our other friend from To the Stars, he was involved in this too, so I'm gonna get this name off him.
(9:10 - 23:46)
It's a disservice to him. Tom, Tom, Tom, my boy. Tom DeLonge, sorry Tom, I know better.
Anyways, Tom DeLonge has been all over this since the beginning, he was in this mix with these people early on, and opened some doors and started making some things happen here. How he got fully in this mix, a lot of people, I think, asked some questions, but nothing is, you know, to any shade of Tom, it's just he's not the guy that necessarily I think everybody thought would be involved in this stuff, they say, right, but kudos to Tom, and, and you know, his, his piece in this. Anyways, the journey's evolved since then, and there's been a lot going on, but part of the movement here has been about trying to get under the hood of what else is in that vault, what other information do we have, what do we actually know, what's been going on, and what's flying around in the skies, and the real hook that is getting the most attention is the threat narrative that, like, something's flying around in military facilities and in our skies, and we don't know what it is, you know, that could be a threat.
Some people don't believe it's a threat, but certainly the threat narrative is a, is a hook, is a carrot that mobilizes people to be concerned, but even if we don't know for sure that it's a threat, we don't know that it isn't, so it's worthy of further investigation. You know, our work in Iraq and other, you know, allied countries and similar, we're about making sure skies are secure and safe from adversaries and other. Now, speaking of adversaries, generally the consensus is, from those who know better, is that there's just absolutely no way with the characteristics that these things are displaying that these are Russian or Chinese technologies, and, and to speak to their characteristics, like, the characteristics are wild.
These are things that are flying around our atmosphere, but also transmedium, so in water, at incredible speeds, without adherence to the known laws of physics, you know, gravity, they seem to float, they seem to just bolt from stillness, you know, to places that are an extraordinary distance away in an instant, things like this, so there's a bunch of this stuff going on. These have been witnessed by, by highly credentialed aviators, military professionals, civilian professionals, like, people of real credit, credibility. What these people have gone through has been, when they see these things, many have not spoken of them, because the general response has been to ridicule these people and to, you know, ostracize them from speaking, so what's been happening in the halls, and as any of us would be aware, you know, kind of in the American sphere of influence, naturally, and in Canadian myself, we appreciate the relationship with our American friends in our other Western halls, at least I'll do 100%, and knowing that, you know, the United States is our big neighbor, right, to the south, militarily and otherwise, we tend to follow their lead, I would anticipate, and most probably likely on this topic, and collaborate and communicate with them in the appropriate halls and chambers, and so you know, this has been evolving, and these fellows have been working through these halls in the U.S. to open up legal pathways to investigate these things further, and they're getting a lot of traction, and they're briefing a lot of senior people, and it is bringing this whole conversation to the surface, and there's more that keeps coming out, and there's further discussion, now we're even having conversations of this typical shape that people have seen, they don't know what it is, what they call these orbs, you know, these, well, not these orbs, but these spheres that are orb-shaped, anyways, they're just like these objects that have been seemingly spotted and clocked in a lot of different places, there's tic-tac shaped objects they speak of, there's other shaped objects, anyway, so this kind of group, and others, like I'm not to include like some, not others, there's a lot of people working on this topic, and we're working towards what everyone is requesting, which is true, and transparent, and authentic disclosure of what is going on, and the suggestion is that people have not, and in the halls of government, they have not addressed this issue, it has not been brought to the surface, that people don't know the truth about what's going on here, even if we don't have all the answers, you know, the information that we do have has not been presented, let alone sufficiently presented, and so they're making progress here, but one of the challenges is that, that's coming up in all the discussions, is that in an interest of keeping this information secret, and for a long time locking this information away, whatever it might be, that it becomes compartmentalized, and not only within government agencies, but within private companies that are created, or at least engaged by government agencies, but then fall under government, I'll say, classifications, and confidentiality, and you know, secrecy, but, but then they're also a step removed from oversight, because they're compartmentalized into these private entities, which don't then have an obligation to report back to these, you know, sources of oversight to the elected government of, you know, at least the United States, but potentially others and similar.
So what they generally do, it is reported and suggested, that in this process, you know, in the intelligence communities and that, of establishing these types of frameworks, is that they lock people into serious NDAs with major legal ramifications for speaking anything that they're, they've come to know, and also in the compartmentalization, each kind of area of this study or information similar, people are only read into, read into what they call read into these programs, and subsets of it, where no one group has all of the information on a need to know basis. So maybe you're a physicist, so you're working on like, understanding propulsion, and maybe there's a biological component, and you're a biologist, and you're a biologist, biological medicine, just to, you know, be super simplistic about what that might look like. So the suggestion is that this has been going on for a while.
And so, in an interest, and this is, I feel like quite clever, in an interest to pop that bubble and get under the hood and see what's what, to pull the burden back here. This growing, you know, let's say, collaboration of people who want to know, have, and, you know, with the support of, you know, various politicians in Washington and similar, have established a legal framework, which is a whistleblower framework that protects those who may be involved in these programs, from their possible testifying or disclosure of what each of them know. And it doesn't mean everybody just runs to that, but it means there's a pathway for those who want to disclose and who know what the heck is going on here, under the hood.
And now, at least in part, some of these people, some may know more than others, and have heard things in different respects, but, you know, outside of the division that they might be working in. But together, if enough people are doing this, and they're credible, and they have real evidence or references or other sources that they can point to and similar, what happens then is you start to, I would suggest, get a big picture for what the heck is here. And so, kind of at this moment right now, and Chuck Schumer, who's a long time participant in the halls of Washington, as many of you listening probably heard his name before, he has just tabled new legislation, that is about disclosing everything the government knows, generally.
Correct me if I'm not like 100% accurate on the full breadth and depth. This stuff is all moving like so quickly. I'm keeping up and trying to read all the documents and stuff, but like, it's difficult.
And that's also been part of the challenge. I mean, people's lives are busy. So like, the effort it takes to get into this stuff, and even to write this language is like full on, you know, so.
So what's been happening though, is all of these politicians have been getting briefed on like, what do we know? And there's been smoke there. And it's suggestible fire, and it is leading more people to dig deeper. And it's starting to shape this picture.
And so Schumer's move here, and he's a senior Democratic Party leader, you know, in these halls is significant. And it is coming from a place of awareness, certainly. The more that's happening here, the more this is rising to the surface, and the less it is going away.
David Rush is a fellow who's highly, highly decorated, worked in the intelligence community for a significant amount of time. Incredible credentials, like, just to be a fly on a wall on the journey of a guy like this, and where he's been, and what he's done and seen and knows is like, something else. And he recently blew the whistle and brought forth some extraordinary claims that the US government is hiding recovered UFO UAP technology from a non-human intelligence that greatly exceeds our own technology.
He has also suggested there are bodies of the creatures who pilot these things. Like, I mean, that's wild. And it's wild to say, it's wild to hear.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. I agree with that. But he didn't just step up and like stand in a soapbox and say, like, here I am.
He's also followed his legal processes and make sure he's dotting his I's and crossing his T's. And he's deepened his ability into this whole world because he was naming names and bringing sources and so on and so forth about where all this stuff is. He was pointing it all out.
So it's just created this like, you know, this pot that started as a, like reignited as a simmer or a bit of a boil, but it's like, it's boiling now, for sure. And things are moving and they're moving very quickly. So it's really interesting to see.
It really is. It's really interesting to follow. It's a fascinating topic.
(23:47 - 31:05)
I follow it with an open mind. And we're gonna see where it goes next. But I'm telling you by the day right now, more and more information is coming out about this stuff.
And there's more testifying to come. More of a site to occur. A new legislative language that's meant to, you know, crack these vaults open and see what's in there.
And, you know, just think of the impact and think of the, you know, the awareness, the consideration of there being other intelligent life in the universe. There are theories that it could be extraterrestrial. There are theories that it could be, I believe the term is ultra terrestrial, which means it could actually also just be living here and hiding from us.
It could be living, you know, deep in the earth and the sea. There's a whole bunch of stuff that's being discussed. There's probably various probabilities of what all this could be.
And some of these cases, these cases are just, they're far out. And there's so much detail and eyewitness testimony and like, you know, reinforcement for the stories that give them credibility, but do not lead to explanation. It is quite a, quite a thing.
And it's a topic I'm watching closely. I'm someone who likes to observe the world. I'm someone who likes to keep an eye on trends.
I'm curious about the universal place in it, certainly. And this is one of those topics I've just always felt like there's something to this and just watching how it's being executed right now by the adults in the room who are really seriously doing heavy, heavy lifting to get these types of milestones and requests enacted into law so we can get to the truth and we can experience disclosure of what we really know or not. And consider this, you know, as an element of our place in the world and the universe.
Consider this as a possible realignment of our trajectory for our civilization. I mean, these are major, major things, major considerations, major questions. And it seems to be opening up and there could be a lot more coming on this topic.
So that's kind of what's going on, you know, high level. There's some really great people to follow. James Fox, Christopher Mellon, Lou Elizondo, if he's still on, if he's still on Twitter.
The debrief, these guys are great. Not all guys, but just as a generalization, a great team. And they're doing some exceptional deep reporting.
We've also got a fellow in that space, Gary Nolan, professor at Stanford, I believe, all over this topic, really interesting. His participation in the discussion, Ross Coulthard, did I say that right? Ross's work with Newsmax, which is a new emerging media outlet, been covering this quite closely. And he's been doing a lot of digging and had a lot to say on this topic.
There's a lot more, but you start digging in, you'll start, you'll start catching up on it. You start kind of tracking what's being talked about. You know, Tim McMillan, he's a great account to follow.
Talks about a lot of really interesting things. And as a part of the debrief, is it Teddy Schwartz? Is that the, Teddy or Gabby? With all due respect to you, I know that he's with NBC, I want to say, and he's been following this and he does some reporting on this every so often. There's just a lot of movement and a lot of interesting stuff going on.
So check out the UFO Twitter, keep abreast of where the news is flowing and what's happening. Because mainstream media seems to be on it, it touches it a bit, and then it, you know, it isn't really following the beat of this story quite as much as it should, in my opinion. But there's a lot going on.
So I'm following this, maybe I'll update again later as it happens. But if you follow me, yo, it's a long topic. It's a bit out there.
Generally, people still think that. So we've been talking about, you know, about it as a bit of a stigma. God, that's the word I was looking for 20 minutes ago.
But it doesn't have to be. And, and that, I believe is melting away. And there's a lot of really serious stuff happening here, that is worthy of attention, and kind of deep, philosophical and spiritual consideration, among others.
And I feel more answers will be coming in this area soon. So that's my chat on that. That's the 10,000 foot, as I followed this in kind of a quick nutshell of what I've seen going on.
If you want to deep dive into this more, you know, drop me a note. And we can talk more about it. I got a list of all kinds of cool cases you can look up and resources you can you can dig into that I find is fascinating.
It's, you know, it's pretty wild. So that's for this ep. You know where to find me, all my info is below in this piece.
So any thoughts, questions, comments, whatever, hit me up. And we'll catch you on the next one. Oh, and don't forget to follow this because I'm dropping all kinds of stuff about whatever is coming up, whatever's going on in the world, whatever people are asking me about, whatever present, really, is what is worthy of conversation, in my opinion, it just presents itself to me.
And I say, Well, I feel we got to talk about that because it's right in front of me. So this is one of those things, more to come. And we'll catch you on the next one.

Many of you here might not yet know much about who I am, some of my life experiences, and why I may have anything of value to add to the conversation around the topics I'm exploring. Learn more about me in this post as I share who I am, and some of the wild ride I've been on thus far...
Improving our mental health can have profound and lasting impacts on our lives, the lives of those around us, and our communities. In Canada, it is estimated that 20% of Canadians experience problems with their mental health in any given year, and half of the population has faced some level of mental health issues by the time they turn 40. In this post I share tips and strategies that I've used over the years to improve my own mental health, which I feel may help you on your journey as well.
