UFO Roundtable: Former CIA Scientist Proves Aliens Exist!

There has been an 80-year cover-up of. the existence of non-human intelligent. life covered up by elements of the US. government, but this past Friday the. [music] first tranche of evidence was. released to the public. >> And the evidence is absolutely clear. that there is some form of life with. advanced technology. And they're all. over the place. But the people involved. in gatekeeping this information don't. think [music] the public can handle the. truth. >> People have had their lives threatened. >> of them are afraid to come forward. [music] and tell the White House what. they know. This has been kept from even. sitting presidents. And I've interviewed.

high-level intelligence [music]. officials and government officials. And. there have been UAP crashes over the. years and in some cases the crashed. crafts had the bodies of non-humans in. them. And now we have people on ships. [music] seeing these things under the. water with seeing enough times under. enough different conditions that we just. have to accept that it is real. So what. exactly is inside this [music] report? We have so many sightings, even access. to materials. And there's a number of. files, reports, video, and still [music].

images that were declassified. And the. most notable piece of evidence in there. is [music] this. So I have so many questions. You're. probably familiar with this NASA report. They essentially say that they don't. believe that these UAPs are aliens. Why. would NASA be lying? Is there a reason. why this stuff hasn't been captured on. like an iPhone? [music] Are they. currently living amongst us? >> And then do you trust the Trump. administration to release [music] all of. the available information? >> I think eventually we'll get to that. moment that we've all only seen in. movies where a sitting president steps. to a microphone and tells the world. we're not alone in the universe.

This is super interesting to me. My team. gave me this report to show me how many. of you that watch this show subscribe. And some of you have told us, according. to this, that you are unsubscribed from. the channel randomly. So a favor to ask. all of you, please could you check right. now if you've hit the subscribe button. If you are a regular viewer of the show. and you like what we do here. We're. approaching quite a significant landmark. on this show in terms of a subscriber. number. So if there was one simple, free. thing that you could do to help us, my. team, everyone here to keep this show. free, to keep it improving year over.

year and week over week, it is just to. hit that subscribe button and to double. check if you've hit it. Anything I'll. ever ask of you. Do we have a deal? If you do it, I'll tell you what I'll. do. I'll make sure. every single week, every single month we. fight harder and harder and harder and. harder to bring you the guests and. conversations that you want to hear. I. stayed true to that promise since the. very beginning of The Diary of a CEO and. I will not let you down. Please help us. Really appreciate it. Let's get on with. the show. >> [music]. >> Dr. Harold, Dan,

I wanted to have a conversation with. both of you today because you are two of. the most popular voices online on this. subject of UAPs, which is unidentified. anomalous phenomena. Right. Exactly. It. has been in all the news recently. because Trump a couple of days ago. released 400 classified files containing. videos and photos and different reports. on this subject of UAPs. Now, I. don't have an opinion. I I honestly. haven't gone that far down the rabbit. hole on this subject, but I wanted to.

have the conversation with both of you. because you do have opinions. So, starting with you, Dan, what is your background and as it. relates to this subject of UAPs, what is. it that you believe that most people. don't know or understand? My interest in. this topic comes from my childhood. And. so, over the years, I just I read every. book on the topic, watched every doc. I. always wish someone had made a super. serious, credible, sober documentary. that only interviews people who have. direct knowledge of this topic as a.

result of working for the US government. And so, got into producing as I was. getting access to high-level. intelligence officials and government. officials before even filmed, I really. quickly learned how serious and real the. situation is and how. serious it's treated behind the scenes. And you know, I made this movie, The Age. of Disclosure, in secrecy over 3 and 1/2. years. And I would say the headlines. that I learned that the average person. doesn't know is that there has in fact. been an 80-year cover-up of the.

existence of non-human intelligent life. It has been covered up by elements of. the US government since at least the. late '40s. Other nations have also. covered this up. And the other major. headline is that the people who within. the US government that have been. gatekeeping this, they've also been. involved in a high-stakes secret Cold. War race with adversarial nations like. China and Russia to reverse-engineer. this technology of non-human origin. And. And the stakes couldn't be higher. Those. are the two massive headlines.

And And I'm proud to say when the film. came out, it created a national. conversation at an at an unprecedented. level, and it led to President Trump. issuing this directive in the middle of. February. Super unprecedented historic. directive instructing federal agencies. to start declassifying evidence it has. they have of non-human intelligent life. and UAP. And then that process began. this past Friday. The first tranche of. evidence was released to the public. And.

during the process of producing this. documentary, who did you speak to? I got access to. the highest levels of government, military, and intelligence community. My. interview subjects range from Secretary. Rubio, who's also our national security. advisor now, White House National. Security Council members, Navy fighter. pilots, admirals, generals, a former. Secretary of Defense, uh the leadership. of all the recent classified US. government UAP investigations. Every. single person is extremely credible. Hal.

Hal was one of my interview subjects. Hal's. one of the most senior scientist uh to. work on this topic for the US government. in classified projects. And him and all. these other people interviewed, they had. a lot of information they could legally. share. over the years, but they were always. discouraged from doing so, and they. never really had the opportunity to. comfortably do it. No one wanted to be. the one guy out on a limb. saying something extraordinary on CNN or. Fox or 60 Minutes and then being subject. to the the pushback and the ridicule.

And so, when I realized that, I I. started socializing a plan for how to. step out of the shadows arm in arm with. safety in numbers. I'll pick up on that. point now. We talked about safety in. numbers. How he he mentioned you there. You're part of the documentary. I saw. you as well in the trailer of the. documentary. What is your background and. why what reference points are you. drawing on to speak on the subject of. UAPs and UFOs, etc.? I'm a quantum. physicist. I worked for the National. Security Agency for various uh.

organizations in the intelligence. community like CIA and so on. And so, as. part of my technical work, uh I was also. a consultant, uh chief science advisor. to Robert Bigelow of Bigelow Aerospace. He's really quite quite a titan. I mean, he has two space stations orbiting the. Earth. So, anyway, those those people. who are in in the space business and. they're moving out into space, they just. can't help but wondering, you know, what. are we going to run into when when we. get out there? As a science advisor to.

him, uh it turned out that the Defense. Intelligence Agency came forward and. said, uh you know, we need to find out. uh really what's uh going on in the. so-called UAP area. So, then they. determined they were just going to start. a UAP program. If that program they. started was called A SAP. They hired a. whole team, for example, Hal. And that. program started in 2008. Um. and. got a lot of pushback behind the scenes. because it turned out.

when they looked over the intelligence. community to see if there was another. UFO program and didn't think there was, turns out there was one. And there was a. deeply hidden program referred to as the. legacy program. And it had been operating in the shadows. since the 40s. uh outside of congressional oversight, outside of the oversight of the White. House. Um completely, you know, off off. >> Completely hidden away. Yeah. As hidden. as a program can be. And so they started pushing back behind. the scenes against everyone involved in. AATIP because they didn't want anyone.

else looking into this, right? Started. to cause a lot of bureaucratic issues. for them, red tape issues, and. ultimately AATIP lost its funding in. 2010 despite the fact that it was. looking into very real issues like UAP. over our nuclear weapon sites. It shut. down in 2010. Why do you think it shut. down? They were dealt. these bureaucratic hurdles behind the. scenes by people involved in the legacy. program, people who just caused problems. and prevented funding and it's a lot of, you know, it's a. big bureaucracy. People can people can.

do things behind the scenes to prevent. funding from coming through. for programs. And so ultimately they. lost their their funding in 2010 and. then Jay Stratton and other people. involved they were continuing to look. into this because they they didn't want. this serious national security concern. to go, you know, on on investigated, right? So you know, that's how somebody. like me gets pulled in and they say, "Okay, these pilots are out there and. they said they see craft coming out of. the ocean and making right angle turns. at 6 G or whatever." And they say, "Oh.

my god, this is way beyond our physics.". So I and other physicists sort of dug. into, you know, what could be. responsible for this. And we actually. found that just like we use so-called. Maxwell's equations in electromagnetic. stuff for everything we do in. electromagnetics, we have Einstein's equations in general. relativity for, you know, black holes. and all that kind of stuff. It turns out. if you could engineer those, you would. actually get the same effects that. people were observing with these UAP. crafts. So we think we've come up with,

you know, what it is about. the science of it. It's just that we. don't have the engineering to do it. Do. you believe in UAPs? Absolutely believe in UAPs. because [clears throat]. I've been exposed to data about them. A more specific question would be, do. you believe in aliens? Yeah, so a number. of the people I interviewed went on the. record. stating that they know from their own. personal experiences that there have. been UAP crashes over the years that. have been recovered by elements of the.

US government and in some cases the the. crashed crafts had the bodies of. non-humans in them. And numerous people I interviewed went. on the record saying that. And keep in. mind, everyone I interviewed only shared. what they lawfully could. There was a. line they couldn't cross. Everyone I. interviewed is aware of classified. information that they they can't talk. about, but they went right up to the. line and uh. made it clear that there had been. recoveries of non-human bodies. A couple. people actually testified under oath to.

Congress saying the same thing. Why. wouldn't they be able to talk about it. publicly? Well, when you're involved in. certain programs, uh you sign certain. agreements that prevent you from sharing. Right. >> specific information. >> programs and. of course the big concern is, okay, whatever we might learn about these kind. of craft and and so on, our adversaries. are out there and probably been there. been crashes in Russia, crashes in. China. And so if we reveal what we're learning.

about the subject area and. you know, said it publicly, then it it. might help some potential adversary. >> Yeah, a saying get a step get a step. ahead. So, that's why it's all just kept. really close end. So, a saying that I. heard often from my interview subjects, you can't tell your friends without. telling your enemies. Meaning, you can't. tell the public what we know and don't. know without also telling China and. Russia what we know and don't know. And. giving them that information might give. them a competitive advantage. And the.

the obvious question anyone would ask. when hearing that is then well okay, so. what shifted? Why is Why is that no. longer the leading thought secrecy is. best? And the answer is because the US. is in a really high stakes race, a. technology race, against these. adversaries to reverse engineer. technology of non-human origin. And. the secrecy around it in the US. since the 40s has created a scenario. where the scientific community and. academia don't even know it's real. They.

don't even know it's a valid area of. inquiry. >> Don't even believe it's real. I mean. >> the smartest kids graduating MIT this. year, they are not thinking that this is. something they can put their brain power. towards. So, coming back to the question, do you. believe in aliens? I 100% believe that. non-human intelligent life. is here and has been here for a long. time. When you say here, do you mean. >> Earth. currently living amongst us? >> I don't know about the living amongst us. part. >> that. I don't know about that, but. >> Wouldn't rule it out, but I mean. >> There is UAP activity being reported on.

a daily basis by commercial airlines. pilot commercial airline pilots to the. FAA, by Navy fighter pilots off the East. Coast being reported, you know, up the. military chain of command. And on top of. that, regular activity over our nuclear. weapon sites inside the United States. It's happening on a regular basis. uh on the on on the nuclear sites and on. a daily basis in commercial air travel. space. UAP have come over nuclear. missile sites and actually turned off.

the missiles. And so, you know, when something like. that happens, you just got to take it. seriously. >> And the the technology that they're. displaying is technology that no humans. have. And again, there has been some crashes. and in those crashes there have been the. bodies of non-humans. How do we know. that? How do we know that in those. crashes they've recovered bodies of. non-humans? The whistleblowers basically. coming forward from the government. >> So we So the basis of the that evidence. is that some people have said it. At.

this point, until until. previously classified information. regarding crashes and is and recoveries. is declassified, until it [clears throat] happens, the. best we can hope for is credible people. putting their reputation on the line to. tell you this is what's been happening. Did someone during your process of. making the documentary who had seen. non-alien non-human life non-human. intelligence tell you that? Yeah. Who. was that? A number of people, but.

notably, you know, Jay Stratton who we just talked about. >> Yes, right. >> Who co-created, co-founded AATIP, and. then became the director of the UAP Task. Force, the largest whole of government. investigation of UAP ever. What did he. say? He went on the record in the film. saying that he's seen non-human beings. and non-human craft with his own eyes. That was the farthest he could go at. that point. Why did he say he couldn't. go further? Uh he he he he had a. situation that he. was involved in that um. for a few reasons he wasn't he just.

wasn't comfortable talking about it yet, and some of it I think he just wanted to. make sure he legally could. Now, going. back to credibility, like take a guy. like Jay saying that. When Jay retired a. few years back, he was part of the. senior executive services of the federal. government. That's a level less than 1%. of all federal employees ever reach. You. know, it's equivalent of a two-star. admiral or general. Um very very senior, very trusted. You know, cleared at a very high level. Um he had worked with naval intelligence.

in a senior capacity. Uh he had worked with the CIA. He had. worked with the Defense Intelligence. Agency as the head of aerospace warfare. It's a super serious, credible guy. And. he's he's he's putting his reputation on. the line to share this information. um to the extent that he legally could. and and comfortably could. And when you. asked him why. the world doesn't know this stuff in his. view, what did he What would he say? There's a lot of reasons. I mean, certainly the, you know, the idea that. we can't tell our friends without. telling our enemies has been a driver.

To just to recap the reasons for. secrecy, I I I actually believe it it's. better to kind of start from the. beginning. When this When when in 1947, there was a crash at Roswell of. non-human origin. and uh yeah, RA uh RAAF captures flying. saucer on ranch in Roswell region. Yeah. >> That's right. And then this is the image. of their cover-up story trying to show. weather ballooner. Yeah, so multiple. people in my film go on the record. saying the Roswell crash really. happened. Uh technology of non-human. origin and non-human bodies were.

recovered. Um if you put yourself in the shoes of. the military and government at that. point, like put yourself in Truman and, you know, Eisenhower's shoes, you're. just coming out of World War II. The. world was just chaos for a very long. time. It's finally starting to settle. down. You can't exactly step to the. microphone and tell. America that there's a new threat that. we know nothing about and we can't. protect you from. They're far advanced, you know, what what's the advantage of that? So, secrecy became the plan at that point. and. they had more questions than answers.

So, everyone I've talked to gave me. context explained that the the the the. plan for secrecy went in motion there. Uh let's investigate. Let's find out. more about what we don't know before we. tell the American people. That was. quickly followed by the Cold War era and. we learned that Russia also had. retrieved technology of non-human. origin. And so, we knew we were in a. technology race. So, then the idea of. can't tell your friend without telling. your enemy ruled the day. So, now the. Cold War mentality, you know, led to. more secrecy and as a security wrapper.

for this this program that it that it. started, uh they created the stigma in. the late '40s, early '50s. This cultural. stigma, this idea that you're crazy if. you look into this topic. You're wacky, you'll have your reputation ruined, you'll have your career ruined. >> actually to CIA meeting where people got. together and said, "Okay, in order to. not have people be pursuing this area, let's go out of our way to spread. what we would call now disinformation. about this. >> very basically the most effective. disinformation campaign in the history.

of the US government because it got into. our culture, some movies were funded. that made aliens seem silly, and the. idea of life from elsewhere seemed. ridiculous, and that compounded over the. years, and then we got to the point. where where we were like, you know, just. just like few years ago, where the. average person just thinks it's not. real. You know, the average scientist, academia, Yeah. you know, they think. it's conspiracy stuff, it's nonsense, it's silly. Um there was no advantage. for elected leaders to get in front of. this or for military members to, you.

know, speak up about what they learned. or saw. It would be a career ruiner. Um. and uh that started to shift uh several. years back when Jay Stratton. and Jim McCaslin when they put together. AATIP in 2010, and they started to go. out there and collect data. um and get evidence, and they started to. actually share it with the Senate. Intelligence Committee and the Senate. Armed Services Committee, and looking at. classified data in a classified setting, people like Marco Rubio, who was the.

vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence. Committee at the time, started to. realize, Yeah, so there's something here. >> Not only is there something here, but. we've got a problem, right? There's a. lot of a lot of UAP activity over these. highly classified sites like our nuclear. weapons sites. There's a lot at stake. We are in this, you know, race with. other nations, and the stigma has. created a disadvantage for us. It's very hard to win a technology race. when the majority of your scientists. don't know it's a valid area of inquiry, right? And do people think that there's one. type of non-human intelligence that's.

visiting the earth, or is there many, many types? >> People who have been involved in. recoveries have said. >> least four types, four separate types. Now, I have not had direct access to. that, but I I I believe the people who I. talked to. Four different types of life. Four different types of life, at least. And the people. I've talked through to, you know, through the process of making the. documentary, both on camera and. off-the-record sources, and the people I also talked to over the.

decades have said that there are there. have been dozens of recoveries of. crashed craft in the US alone. Dozens of. craft of non-human origin. that either crashed organically or. caused to crash. and then recovered. And have you spoken. to people who You talked about Jay. Have. you spoken to other people that have. worked on these. crashed crafts? I've talked I've talked. off the record with some people who are. involved in recoveries. They would not. go on camera to do interviews. Special forces people that would not go.

on camera do interviews. One I actually. thought I've I've mentioned this in. another interview, but um one I thought. was going to do an interview and then a. couple days before sent me a message. saying, "After further consideration and. long talks with my wife, I decided I'd. be forfeiting my life if I participated. in your interview.". And I thought that was like very un-. very unsettling message to get, obviously, but also very specific word. choice, you know, "forfeiting my life.". What did he know? He was a special very. senior special forces guy who.

had told me he had been involved in. multiple recoveries. That's what he told me. Okay. And I met him through uh some high-level. intelligence people. Early on in my process, I got connected. with the Senate Intelligence Committee. and the Senate Armed Services Committee, and they had on their own learned the. reality of the situation through the. work of ASAP and then ATIP and then the. UAP Task Force and through their own. their own intelligence channels. Leaders.

on those committees wanted to educate. the public about what they could. lawfully about this, but they didn't. really have a way to do it. It's such a. complicated situation. It takes a while. to explain it. You can't do it in like a. 6-minute news hit on Fox or CNN or even. like a 15-minute 60-minute segment. You. just can't do it. And no one wanted to. be the one guy trying to do it. So, when I started putting together the film. and socializing this safe way for people. to step forward, it also quickly became.

those people's plan for disclosure. That's why Senator Rubio participated. That's why White House National Security. Council members participated. It became. amongst the group of people who had. learned the truth, it became. the plan for disclosure, the way to. bring this information out in a. thoughtful. way. Do the presidents of the United. States. know about this stuff? Are they aware? >> Historically, no. Historically. >> Yeah, and even Rubio says on camera. that, you know, historically, this has.

been kept from even sitting presidents. Who would know then? So, a number of the people in my film break. down um who's involved in legacy. program. Now, sim- just to put it simply, it's. elements of the CIA, elements of the Air. Force, elements of the Department of. Energy, and a few major defense. contractors. And they have the ability. to access information from a number of. federal agencies and branches of the. military, but the the primary leaders of. this program are the CIA, the Air Force,

the Department of Energy, and major. defense contractors. And Rubio breaks. down in the film the way our bureaucracy. works, um. you could have. career bureaucrats in positions of power. at those organizations for decades, and they can just wait out sitting. presidents. They can wait out sitting. senators. >> presidents as just temporary help. They're going to come and go. And that's. what's been happening up until this. point now. So, the fact that Rubio had. learned so much about the reality of the.

the and the extent of the cover-up, and. then ended up arguably the second most. powerful guy in the world as our. Secretary of State and our National. Security Advisor at the same time, which has only happened once in US. history, Henry Kissinger for 2 years. No. one else has ever had both those jobs at. the same time. The fact that he ended up. in that position of power and influence. after learning the reality of the. situation, and right as the age of. disclosure is coming out and driving. this national conversation, it really led to the current President. Trump being informed about this in a way.

that no president has in a very long. time. So, are you saying that the United. States don't think the public are ready. to even know that this exists? Because, you know, they could tell us that they. have recovered UAPs or aliens, whatever. it might be, without telling us about. the technology. They could, and I think. we're going to get to that point. >> Yeah, I think that they were trapped in. in the system that had that had grown. up, and uh people behind the scenes. working in the classified programs said, "Well, you know, we don't know how the.

public is going to respond, so let's be. safe, and let's let's just keep it. in-house." Do you think Trump believes. that there are aliens? Cuz I I was. looking at some of his quotes, and he. said, "Well, I don't know if they're. real or not. I don't have an opinion on. it. I never talk about it. A lot of. people do. A lot of people believe it.". Barack Obama said that aliens are real. Well, he ain't supposed to provide. information. He's not supposed to be. doing that. So, aliens are real? No, I. don't I don't have an opinion on it. I. never talk about it. A lot of people do.

A lot of people believe it. So, you believe it, Greer? Uh well, if. the president can declassify anything. that he wants to, so if he wants to make. an announcement I may get him out of. trouble by declassifying. One of the. things that came out in the age of. disclosure. is that. during Trump's first administration, his cabinet was briefed by the UAP Task. Force, by Jay Stratton. And. when he briefed them. uh he was told that they had asked for.

this briefing. because they needed to be able to. evaluate what the repercussions would be. if Trump decided to step to the. microphone and tell the world we're not. alone in the universe. Obviously, he. didn't end up deciding to do that then. However, in this new administration. he's got Rubio. in the position of Secretary of State. and National Security Advisor and fully. aware of the situation and that has. given him the comfort to put this this. process in motion. There's certainly a. disclosure process unfolding right now. Obama said in an interview that he did.

with Brian Tyler Cohen. when asked about aliens, Obama said, "They're real, but I haven't seen them. They're not being kept at Area 51. There's no underground facility unless. there's this enormous conspiracy and. they hid it from the President of the. United States." Now, that sounded to me. like kind of sarcasm when he said. they're real, but and then explained all. that they're not real. They're real, but I haven't seen them. and and and uh they're not being kept in. uh Area 51. Uh there there's no. underground uh facility unless there's.

this enormous conspiracy and they they. hid it from the President of the United. States. So, it would appear to me that Obama. also doesn't know of any aliens. I think. Obama was largely kept in the dark. I. think he does know that the base fact. that we're not alone in the universe and. I actually think when he said they're. real, I think he was being that was just. candid. >> honest. >> That was his honest, candid, genuine. statement. I think when he then said. they're not kept at Area 51 I think he's. also being honest cuz none of my sources.

say that say that UAP and aliens are. being kept at Area 51. They're being. kept somewhere else. Um. so, I think he was being honest there. and I think when he made the comment of. uh unless there's a giant conspiracy, if. you watch the tape, he like sips his cup. and raises his eyebrows as he said. He. thinks. he knows there's a giant conspiracy. That's the truth. The following day uh. Trump was asked about that on Air Force. One and he responded saying Obama. revealed classified information and he. shouldn't have said that. And um.

I think that's the truth. Yeah. I think. presidents don't don't know when they're. and they're told not to talk about it. Trump has started to release a lot of. classified information around UAP and. aliens. The first batch of that was. released a couple of days ago. What. exactly is inside this report? There was. a number of files, reports, video, and. still images that were declassified. This is information that previously had. been classified or just never really.

made public. This was just the first tranche of what. has been what will be released. The most notable piece of evidence in. there is an image, a still image, from. the 1972 Apollo mission. It's an image. of a triangle, seemingly triangle-shaped craft, hovering above the moon and above the. astronauts. And the image was taken from. the from the lunar module. And. you know, the UAP task force looked into.

this image years ago and determined it. was real. That seems to be the most. glaring piece of evidence in this this. tranche. But I will say this, Hal and I. both have the same a lot of the same. sources of information and. everyone we've talked to at various. federal agencies has told us that. when the president gave this directive. in middle of February for federal. agencies to declassify evidence of. non-human intelligent life and UAP, only a few. engaged with it. They only gave a small.

percent of what they have. And they only had a couple weeks to do. it. >> Mhm. One of the things I I think I've. always struggled with with the idea of. these kind of conspiracies um. is that I don't know why that. information would necessarily fall into. the hands of like government officials. because, you know, alien life forms or. UAPs would be. visible and would land in anyone's back. garden. So, you would you could imagine. a world, especially in a world where we. have, I don't know, like 8 billion. iPhones roaming around. Can imagine a.

world where if there was some kind of. UAP crash in my garden, it would be on. TikTok within 5 minutes. Yeah. Or if. there really was. >> Someone got there with an iPhone. You're. right. You know, there was that incident. earlier in the year with those with were. they drones in in America flying. >> Jersey. Jersey Jersey Jersey Jersey And. that was on social media within minutes. and everyone was talking about it and. looking at what they were. I don't know, I think in the modern world because we. have so many ways to capture. high-quality video, if there was. something out there, we would have seen. a very clear image of this thing by now.

>> Well, there's a lot That's why there. there's a lot that came out in these. files because over the years our sensor. systems that the pilots have in their. planes have gotten so much better. They've captured, really, a small amount. Does this life want to. be seen? Do these aliens want us to know. that they're I'd have to assume that. given the level of quality of their. technology, if they didn't want to be. seen, we we wouldn't be seeing them. So, it seems like I would say there's. evidence that, for whatever reason,

they're they're they're wanting to be. seen. But also like I my personal. opinion is that if someone answers that. question, they're answering it through. the lens of like how humans think, right? For all we know, you know, we're we're ants to them. You. know, you don't hide from the ants. You. walk around them. You don't even But you. also don't pay attention to them, you. know? Based on their behavior from the. interviews you've done, how do you think they view us? I I. honestly feel like the dynamic is, you.

know, we are very very far below them on. the food chain. You know, Hal makes an. analogy in the film. He says, "The ants. in your. tree line in your backyard, they could. be there for generations. You never. think about them, you walk around them, you don't you're not hiding from them, but like they're there and you don't. really care, right? But what happens if. they evolve one day and out of nowhere. they figured out how to get into your. house and they beelined under your under. your door and they're in your living. room, right? We might have evolved. technologically over the last 80 years.

since we cracked the atom so quickly. that we're now, you know, the equivalent. of the ants showing up in their living. room. Like all of a sudden. >> All of a sudden this warring species, this violent species, humans, you know, um. we have we we progressed so quickly. We. went from no real technological progress. progress for a very long time to. cracking the atom and then figuring out. nuclear technology and then continuing. to increase, you know, our our nuclear. technology development. And, you know, we have this program that.

has been retrieving their crashed craft. and trying to reverse engineer them. So, we might be at that point where we're. about to do what they do and all of a. sudden we are a problem. Um that might. be the explanation of why they pay so. much attention to our nuclear process. You know, there's a lot of UAP activity. not only at the nuclear weapon sites all. over the world, but um. uh sites involved in the process, the. nuclear process, like uranium mines or. refineries. Is it you know.

>> It might just be we've [clears throat]. gotten to the point where all of a. sudden they have they have to. In uh in the Soviet Union, uh. the UAP came over and actually started. a launch of the Russian missiles. I mean, they actually forced the system. to start into a countdown process. >> know that? By the intelligence community's. uh access to information about it. Every person we spoke to in Belorac of. each has said they saw a flying saucer. on that day.

For hours it hovered over the nearby. ballistic missile base. No No had. touched any buttons. No one had entered. any codes. And yet, as the UFO hovered. over the base, the control panel showed. the missiles were preparing to launch. For 15 agonizing seconds, the base lost. control of its nuclear weapons. Logically, I would think that unusual. activity would happen. around consequential sites. Yes. You. know, I'd be more surprised if there was.

really frequent unusual activity. happening in my back garden, for. example. But, around highly. consequential sites, one would expect. there to be. people flying things around there, spying. You know what people are like. with cameras these days. They want to. take photos of anything interesting. They They hang around police stations. and army barracks. Right. Right. So, logically, I would assume that there. would be an an increased probability of. strange activity in the sky above a. nuclear site. Well, in fact, there was a. group of people in the intelligence. community who who recognized exactly. what you're saying. And so, they decided.

to, you know, make an attractive magnet. by getting a whole lot of nuclear. assets in in one location to see if that. would draw them in. And my understanding. it was successful. So, you know, our nation and other. nations have figured out circumstances. that can, for lack of a better term, bait UAP. Right. Right. Um. a certain level of nuclear footprint in. a in a small radius. tends to attract them.

And um. our nation figured that out a long time. ago, and and so did other nations. One. of the things that I I thought about is. I know I know very little about physics, but I know one thing I know is how big. the universe is. Now, I'm quite a big fan of SpaceX. I'm. actually invested in the company. And um. from my fascination with space, I've. learned just how big the universe is, and how long it would take us to travel. from, I don't know, Earth to the nearest uh. galaxy. The closest star system to us, which is called Alpha Centauri, Mhm. Alpha Centauri, right. is over four.

light years away, which is about 40 24. trillion miles. >> Mhm. If we traveled at the impossible 10% of. the speed of light, which is impossible, currently impossible, it would take a. ship 40 years to get there. Now, fortunately, what we learned in looking. at what might be the underlying physics. and using Einstein's theory of general. relativity, it turns out that there are. ways of modifying the effective speed of. light to make it much higher.

Or much lower. So, you you you can do. that. So, So, when you get into. potentially modifying. what we call the space-time metric, you could get to a point where you can. make wormholes and warp drives, and. those are things that are not off the. charts. I mean, they're actually. textbooks by general relativity experts. on on the fact that you could. re-engineer the space-time. >> So, you're not saying So, you could do. it. You could get from here to there.

But, you're not saying you would travel. in like a like a a a line like you do in. a plane, right? >> Well, you could. You You could. It It If. If you arrange for the effective speed. of light in that line to be. much higher, then without breaking the. speed of light, you can zoom over there. very quickly. So, you even even in in in. the straight line uh. But, no no one at the moment knows how. to do that on Earth. I think I think. >> write the equations and see how it.

doesn't violate our physics equations, but we don't have the. uh engineering capabilities. So, we. figured out basically we figured out. like how these how these craft are. operating, the theory of it, but we. don't have the material sciences right. to exactly to replicate it. What I'm. pointing out is if you travel at that. speed across the universe, if you even. hit I don't know. an object the size of a pebble, it would. be like a nuclear explosion. Yeah, but. thing is, when you're modifying uh. it's sort of like making like like a.

surfer wave on. you know at the seashore, you you. arrange to have space moving ahead like. that. So, you come up to a rock, it's. just going to push it aside. So, so. >> engineer that. This is how I've wrapped. my head around it. Essentially, they're. they're warping space-time in a. localized area. They're creating immense. amount of energy around the craft and it. creates essentially a bubble around the. craft. And that bubble separates the. craft from the environment around it. So, the environment has no no impact on.

the craft. That's why we see transmedium. travel like a craft going, you know, smooth from space to air to the water. without even a splash. The environment. around the bubble has no bearing on the. craft inside it. And the craft inside it. is in its own space-time. And once you wrap your head around that, then things like interstellar travel. become totally possible. I'm 100% more productive using this app, despite spending 50% less time typing.

And that might confuse you, but let me. explain, which is exactly why I invested. in WhisperFlow. They're also one of our. sponsors on this podcast. WhisperFlow. turns your speech into text, so you can. send it in any app or device at any. time. And I promise you, it doesn't seem. to ever make mistakes. This is the most. accurate voice dictation I have ever. used after a decade of trying to get one. to work. Not only does it save me a ton. of time, it also corrects your speech if. you change your mind mid-sentence before. turning it into text on the device. I. love it and I know my team loves it,

too, because when I posted it in our. Slack channel asking if anybody wanted a. pro version, half the office said yes. and they had it within an hour, which. tells me everything. This is the tool. you and your team need to speed. yourselves up and to capture those. important ideas so that they don't. disappear. Head over to. whisperflow.ai/steven. to download it now. That's w i s r f l o. w dot a i slash Steven. I run multiple companies that have. multiple sales teams. And one of the. things as a founder of a company that's.

often confusing is you find it hard to. figure out where sales are. So about 10. years ago I started using Pipedrive in. my former company and it's also the. reason why I switched over all of my. commercial teams in my current media. company called steven.com to use. Pipedrive as well. Not only do they. sponsor this show, but they've been an. incredibly effective way of scaling our. sales engine over the years. Pipedrive. is an easy-to-use intelligent CRM and at. its very core it makes your sales. process visible through one dashboard, a. visual pipeline showing every deal, what.

stage it's in, what needs to happen. next, and it's all in real time with no. delay. It doesn't magically close the. deal for you, of course, but it does. replace complexity with clarity. If you. want to join over 100,000 companies. already using Pipedrive, you can use my. link for a 30-day free trial with no. credit card payment needed. Head to. pipedrive.com/ceo. to get started. That's. pipedrive.com/ceo. I'll see you over there. One of the paradoxes with this is they. appear to be such so advanced in their.

physics. and their technology, if I could call it. that, but at the same time they seem to. be crashing a lot. Which is a bit of a. paradox, isn't Actually, [clears throat]. some of them have not crashed but have. been. simply left in the desert. Sort of like a gift or a donation. We're. still trying to figure that out. So I. mean some of them do do do crash and and. it can have maybe some of our. electromagnetic pulsing and laser.

pulsing can interfere with their. technology and and and and you might get. a crash. Why why don't you Why do you. think another country hasn't come. forward with. similar disclosures and similar. evidence? I actually think there's a. really simple answer for that. I think. our allies follow the US's lead. Right. And I think our adversaries, primarily China and Russia, have no. reason to go public. They don't have the same sort of. societies and dynamics. Like Xi can do. what he wants anyway. What's What's the.

advantage to him? Same thing with Putin. You know, there. is no advantage. And when you look at it. that way, you really quickly get to the, you know, this is the way it is for that reason. They did a study in 2026 and found that. 45 planets are likely capable of. supporting life. They call this the habitable zone out of. more than 6,000 planets discovered so. far by NASA. Mhm. Um there are. approximately a trillion galaxies in the. universe and within these galaxies. 100,000 planets could potentially host.

life according to Oxford University. Now, I believe that if you think about. the entire universe, I believe that we're not the only life. in the universe. Yes, right. I think. that's I mean I think that's a very. scientific conclusion. Probabilistically. it would be pretty incredible if we. were. I mean, it'd be just it's almost. inconceivable that we are. The question. of whether that life has been here is a. question that for me is still a big. question mark. Because I just, you know, I also I think. Elon, you know, whatever you think about.

Elon, he is someone that seems to just. say what he thinks. And this is part of what's caused his. companies a lot of problems. He seems to. be pretty unfiltered. He has been asked. multiple times as well if he believes. that they are there are aliens in the in. in our galaxy and he has said on. multiple occasions that he doesn't. believe that to be the case. And you. know, he's launching rockets all the. time. So, he said, I heard him say, "If. anyone should know, it should be me.". You do think he knows? I think that you can't operate in space.

at at at the level he does or operate as. a contractor at the level he does. um. without having clearances that require. secrecy. You know, there's. there's there's all kinds of. uh uh levels of secrecy. You know, there's Everyone knows the word. classified, right? There's classified. projects, but there's also black. projects that are unacknowledged special. access programs where you literally by. law required. to not acknowledge the existence of the. program or anything it does. That's.

literally the the Anything it knows. Yeah. That's literally the whole They're. They're literally referred to as. unacknowledged special access programs. That would be his team as well, wouldn't. So, if you're involved with an. unacknowledged special access program, if someone asks you about it, you you have to say you have no idea. what they're talking about. And all of. his team. If if they are a part of the program, yeah. But just because someone's um read it on. an unacknowledged special access program. doesn't mean all their employees are. Elon said um that we have 9,000. satellites up there. He's referring to.

his company Starlink, and not once have. we had to maneuver around an alien. spaceship. He argues that if aliens were. constantly visiting Earth, the aerospace. experts who watch these guys every day. would be the first to know. Well, look, NASA also has said for decades that they. have no evidence. of extraterrestrial [laughter]. life or UAPs, and last Friday the. federal government released a photo of a. triangle craft hovering over the 1972. Apollo space mission. So, somebody's. somebody's not being honest. Right. You know, which also implies a.

lot of other people know things that. they haven't revealed. I think I've heard you say before how. that you think. this intelligent life actually exists. amongst us. Yeah, I I The quote was. they are not occasional visitors. They. live secretly alongside humans, but with. advanced technology. We have so many. sightings and so many uh. even access to materials and so on. I mean, they're all over the place. 65%. of Americans believe intelligent life. exists on other planets. 40% of people.

say military reported UFOs are probably. evidence of extraterrestrial life, according to Pew Research. And 30% of. Americans believe UFOs or unidentified. flying objects are probably alien ships. of life form. And 47% of Americans. believe aliens have definitely or. probably visited Earth at some point, according to YouGov. Half of Americans. believe that UFOs. {slash} aliens have definitely or. probably visited life at some point. Mhm. Quite a lot of people. >> Well, you see you see you see the the.

Age of Disclosure film and the people. that came forward. I mean, you had. Clapper, ex uh. head of the office of Director of. National Intelligence and Senator Rubio. at the time, now in his elevated. position and so on. You now have people of real quality and. you know they're not lying. And they're. coming forth and saying, "This is real. and we got to deal with it. And there's. a lot we don't know about it." Could you. be wrong?

Um I don't think it's about. [clears throat] whether I'm wrong or how. strong. You'd have to believe that. senior leadership across the government, the military, the intelligence community. that has access to classified. information. and is saying, "Based on the classified. information they have seen, this is a. real situation." You'd have to believe. all of those people are lying for some. bizarre unexplained reason. So, I find that hard to believe. Could it be the case that all of those. people were misinterpreting what they.

were seeing? They they saw something, you know, if. at flight altitude they saw something. moving in their visors when they're up. in space. Not really, because. >> No, no, I mean, in some cases that could. be the case, but then when you have. actual materials, crashed craft, bodies that aren't. human. Also, a lot of these sightings um. they're now in the process of the White. House, cabinet members are in the. process of. identifying where the evidence exists.

within federal agencies and the military. so they can get access to it themselves. and then determine from there what can. safely be shared with the public. I. think once they get their hands on more. evidence, then a plan would put in place. for telling the world this conclusion. I. think we're we're it's like. >> We're close. >> Fait accompli basically. Like it's going. to get to that point relatively soon. If. we get to that point and you get. personally invited in to wherever. they're keeping the these materials and. you get to see every single file that. exists and as you go through those files.

you realize that. a lot of what you've been told is not. true because there's other explanations. How would it like fundamentally change. the way that you see the world? Some of some of the UAP we've seen like. take the famous everybody knows the Tic. Tac UFO, right? The Commander David. Fravor, the Navy fighter pilot, interacted with in 2004, right? >> I'll put that on the screen for anyone. that hasn't seen it. Great. And so take. that take that UAP for example. Multiple data collection systems and.

Commander David Fravor, a legend in the. in the Navy, Top Gun guy, commander of. an entire naval strike group, right? Like total badass, legend legend of a. guy. He sees this with his own eyes and a. bunch of data collection systems. captured data confirming it's real. This. UAP went from hovering above the ocean. to instantly being at 80,000 ft which is. the entrance to space, right? And it did. that maneuver all afternoon. The amount of energy required to do that.

is so bonkers. It's we do not humans do No human beings. have the ability to create that must. that much energy, right? In a localized. area for for an aircraft. And and so. to answer your question, if we find out. you know. the unthinkable, that this is not. non-human intelligent life, that some. humans have figured out how to crack. that technology. and did it as recent as 2004 when the. Tic Tac incident happened. That would.

be even more mind-blowing than. accepting that life from elsewhere is. here and has been here a long time. because that would mean that some some. group of humans leapfrogged the rest of. all of humanity technologically by. thousands of years and then seemingly. did nothing with that. Or it could be. something else. That's the nature of. unusual things. They become great. stories. So I I think in the case of the. Tic Tac incident, again, I'm what I'm. trying to do is interrogate this from. all angles. Is could it have been.

something else? Could it be Any any isolated event like. that you could do the whole could it be. this, could it be that thing, but it's. the it's the you got to take a step back. and look at this the collective. It's. one report like that after another from. credible people since World War II. You know, during World War II pilots. were seeing what they called the Foo. Fighters, like these orbs that would. move alongside uh our our fighter jets, right? Like they would like they would. move in in line with them.

Um And now we have we have people on. ships seeing these things enter the. water and then moving at, you know, Impossible speeds. >> knots or something, which no no human. being could could do that. >> as I know, our fastest submarines go. like 50 miles an hour. These things are. going hundreds of miles an hour under. the ocean. So these craft are. transmedium. They're seen in space, they're seen in the air, they're seen. underwater. There's just too much activity to to. ignore. Yeah, and and that would be a. hard one to say, "Well, you know, is.

there some sonar thing that makes you. think something is doing that?" But it's. seen enough times under enough different. conditions that we just have to accept. it as real. Is there a reason why this. hasn't been captured on like an iPhone? When like in 4K? There's been a lot of. stuff captured on phones and video. cameras. In in that scene in the Age of. Disclosure I mentioned where Hal and. some of the other people break down how. these things are working and they. describe that they're creating a a warp. bubble around the craft. That warp. bubble also makes it very hard to get a.

clear video of something cuz you're. you're taking a photo or a video. through. essentially a space-time barrier, you. know? >> barrier. >> the equivalent of taking pictures of. trying to take video of like koi fish in. a pond from above the water. It's going. to look all distorted cuz you're going. through the water. If you're if you're trying to video or. take a photo through a. this bubble, it makes it pretty hard. And then you end up with the kind of. videos we we see. Um you'll probably be familiar with this. NASA report that they produced on UAPs, independent study team report where they.

they essentially say that they don't. believe that this. these UAPs are are aliens. Why would. NASA be lying? Like all these big. bureaucracies, there's people who are. aware of the truth and then there's. people who. have the truth kept from them. Or, you. know, one of the people I interviewed. was Mike Mike Gold who was on the UAP uh. the NASA UAP task force. And he talked. about um how that. effort was was was flawed from the. start. They didn't want to have a result.

that said NASA has all this information. that they've kept from the public. They. wanted the result that that they landed. on, which is there's nothing to see. here. And they were really discouraged. from um for example, the uh that that. image of a triangle. what clearly appears to be a triangle. craft over the moon, um. they were told not to not to include. that in their report. Like they were they they they were not. set up to tell the world the truth. There should be a button just down below.

here. And if it says subscribe, you're. already subscribed. If it says subscribe. bar, that means you're not yet. And if. you're not subscribed, please could you. do us a favor and hit that button. It. helps to show more than you know. And. according to the algorithm, you're. someone that watches our show, but you. haven't yet hit that button. Thank you. so much. In your view, is it possible that aliens. aren't. aren't real? Is it possible? Possible. >> I think I'm missing the question. So, you think it's impossible? >> Yeah, using the term alien, you know,

has a certain connotation about it. So, we can certainly say, I mean, that the. evidence is absolutely clear that there. is some form of life with advanced. technology. You know, if you want to. say, "Well, what can I prove about about. it?" Well, that those are still unknowns. that we're trying to suss out. I got access at a very high to a very. high level of the government, the. military intelligence community. And. there were a lot of people who talked to. me off the record that wouldn't go on. camera. There were a lot of people who. couldn't tell me about classified.

information. I didn't want to know. classified information. But, they all made it very clear, um, not just on camera, but off the record, that there that there is evidence at a. classified level that is clear as day, like some video taken when like the. bubble is turned off and you can see a. a craft of non-human origin clear as. day. And there is evidence of the. technology that's been recovered and of. these bodies. And when you have when if. you put yourself in my shoes, when you. have so many senior people across the.

military, government intelligence. community telling you this, it's it's. really just impossible to ignore it, especially when most of them aren't even. friends. They're not like ideologically. aligned or politically aligned. They're. all just different groups of people. I'm. less compelled by eyewitnesses. This is. the problem cuz you know, I'm such a big. true crime fan. >> [laughter]. >> I hear about all the bloody cases where. eyewitnesses said this and then they. find out the serial killer wasn't that. person or that thing didn't happen. So, and I also just have my own experiences. of like thinking I saw things when I was. younger. Here's an interesting thing you. just made me think of. So, in the film,

uh, Rubio and General Jim Clapper, two. people who are completely ideologically. and politically opposed to each other, made the same. really intelligent point. And they both have knowledge at a a. classified level of the situation. They both said. a problem we. as humans have. is that there's something in the human. psyche that says, I cannot wrap my head. around or prepare for things I haven't. seen or experienced, right? And time and.

time again throughout history. that has proven to be like a human flaw, right? Rubio goes on to say that the. greatest intelligence failures in US. history. come from a lack of imagination. And he. cites a few examples. He says, we never. would have imagined the Japanese could. figure out how to get torpedoes through. the straits and hit us at Pearl Harbor. until they did. Um he says we never. would have imagined terrorists would fly. to the homeland, learn to fly commercial.

planes and then use them in a terrorist. attack until they did, right? Um he says. some other examples, too. But time and. time again, not wrapping our head around. a set of circumstances that and using. our imagination to think about what. might happen or what might be happening. has it's bit us in the ass. And he he. ends his line of thought by saying lack. of imagination leads to strategic. surprise like Pearl Harbor, like 9/11. And sometimes strategic surprise changes. the course of history. Mhm. And so. you know, him and and other people I. interviewed think it's really important.

to get ahead of this as opposed to. waiting for something to happen. As. opposed to waiting for, you know, to. find out the hard way that China, you. know, cracked this technology before us. and used it as in an act of war or uh. non-human intelligent life uh does. something unpredictable and then all of. a sudden the US government's on its. heels and so are other governments on. their heels explaining to the public. what they've known for a long time. I. I've often heard that the reason why. they don't tell the general public that. these things exist is because the. general public aren't ready for this. information.

Is that an argument? I've not really. heard you guys say that. >> Yeah, no, people there are people. involved in. gatekeeping this information that don't. think the public can handle the truth. Uh you know, Hal recently told me that. people in the legacy program are. pointing to the Age of Disclosure and. saying, "Look, this film reveals a lot. and people aren't losing their you. know? People aren't jumping out of. windows. It's not causing chaos in. society." Like the public can handle the. base facts. Of all the things you've. heard, Dan, what is the What was the. most compelling story or anecdote that.

you heard that convinced you? It was really just the sheer number of. very high-level military government. intelligence officials who were telling. me in in private settings to my face, you know, that at a classified level they know. with absolute certainty this is real. But if you had to pick one story? Oh, I. mean, it's really it's really. it wasn't one It really wasn't one thing. for me. It was like it was the overall. It's like, for example, I I interviewed. Rubio and Gillibrand Senator Gillibrand. on the same day. They both participated.

in the film and did lengthy interviews. with me. And both looked me in the face. and told me they thought this was the. most important documentary that's ever. been made. And that this was really. important to bring this information out. in a thoughtful way to the public and. make them aware of what's happening. You. You can't like unhear stuff like that, you know? Um. and it makes it makes an impact on you. What about you, Hal? What was the most. persuasive thing that you. that tipped you over the edge from a, you know, maybe being agnostic to. believing that there are. non-human intelligent life amongst us?

Well, it's looking at the technology, which is so advanced, that I'm that I'm essentially certain. that no. uh us or our adversaries could have made. it. So, somebody actually made it and it has. to be somebody who knows a lot more. about physics than we do. I mean, there's there's there's nowhere. to go but to say, "Okay, there's. somebody who is way beyond. humans to develop that kind of.

technology and display it. Of all the. evidence that's been released and all of. the rumors and videos and you know, going back to the crop fields that we. used to hear about many years ago, presumably there's lots of this stuff. that you don't believe. That you think is nonsense. >> definitely there's definitely. >> tons of them. >> of reports that are that when you look. into them seem like for sure. Because you know, one of the things. people often say is that alien encounter. descriptions perfectly match the pop. culture of that era.

So, people saw flying saucers in the in. the 1950s after sci-fi movies. popularized them and gray aliens in the. 1980s after books like Communion. popularized them. And this kind of. suggests that. sightings are born from human. imagination versus. Well, I I think I and I think that's a. reasonable uh. place to come to. I think I think a lot. of the reports that we get, you know, we can generally set aside as. being, you know, just. manufactured by humans who get caught up.

in the sort of. a give and take on social media and so. on. But, nonetheless, when you really zero. in on actual evidence of technologies. and evidence of bodies, there you can't just say it's uh. you know, it's just social contagion. >> Yeah, when I think about the. technologies, when I watch like the Tic. Tac video, Mhm. it's kind of blurry. I. don't really know what I'm looking at. Like there's this thing moving around on. the screen that's like black and white, but I don't really know what I'm looking. at. And I think this has always been the.

struggle with it is we're so used to. consuming content in high definition. that we can clearly and it it appears to. be the case that so many of these UAP. videos are like in the distance and kind. of blurry and vague. So, it makes them harder to believe. And. I just I think we're all longing for. like a solid video. You talked about. them going in and out of the water. How come someone's not got a You got If. someone like falls over and we we we. capture it all on camera these days. CCTV cameras on every high street. Why. is there no like a solid video of.

something going in the water and out of. the water? >> Look, multiple people said on camera. they have seen with their own eyes. classified videos that are indisputable. Um and some of them told me specifics. like that story I told you that the. first video Jay Stratton was shown when. he went down this rabbit hole. It was a. triangle craft hovering over a nuclear. weapon site. Uh Air Force security. guards had filmed it on a little VHS. camera that they had. It was It was. hovering long enough for them to do. that. You know, that kind of evidence. exists, but it's just still classified. Will it be coming out, do you think? I I.

I hope so. I I I know this process is. playing out right now where people like. like Jay Stratton are helping the. administration find where the evidence. exists so they can get their hands on it. and then determine whether it can safely. be declassified. Like that process is. definitely playing out right now. Do you. think Do you trust the Trump. administration to release all of the. available information? I I don't think. it's a question of do we trust the. current administration will release it. It's do we think all these federal. agencies and branches of the military. are going to turn.

over the evidence they have to the. administration. That's the question. And. the jury's still out on that. They're. They're not right now. They're pushing. back. And they're pushing back hard. And. that's why the administration is working. with people like Stratton like Jay. Stratton who who who have who over 16. years has learned where a lot of this. evidence is. Um they're working with. people like him to find out where the. evidence sits, who who's gatekeeping it. at each of these different. organizations, and how to get to it. Um. so they're doing They're doing a. fact-finding mission right now.

Woah. What's that on your face? This is. a My Bond Charge face mask. I've been. wearing this for some time now. They're. a sponsor of the podcast. I put this on. for 15 20 minutes a day. I can sit here. in the chair and wear it. Boost my. collagen production. Helps with fine. lines, blemishes. My complexion gets. better. And then people more people. listen to the podcast cuz I I look. better. Professional-grade equipment in. such a small box. It's non-invasive. And. having sat here with so many of the. world's leading health professionals,

there's various things that I repeatedly. hear work, and some things I'm a bit. skeptical about. This is one of the. things that almost all of my guests on. this show have confirmed works. It is. really really really effective. And they. offer fast free shipping worldwide with. easy returns and exchanges. And you'll. also get a 1-year warranty on all of. their products. And they're HSA and FSA. eligible, giving you tax-free savings up. to 40%. And you can get 20% off when you. order through my link at. bondcharge.com/doac. That's bondcharge.com/doac.

The deal applies worldwide. If it is released, if all the. information that you've heard from your. witnesses is released, if they release, you know, craft alien craft, and they. release alien bodies and all of these. things, how do you imagine the world. would be different? I think it will lead. to a giant technology boom. I think once. we're told, "Hey, there's this. technology that exists that could. revolutionize the way we live, you know, it could lead to anti-gravity.

technology. It could lead to. solve new energy sources, solve the. energy crisis overnight, right?" Could. lead to interstellar travel and going. farther out, you know. And I think it'd. have a great psychological effect uh. because, you know, you suddenly. uh you go from the point of saying, "Well, maybe we're the only intelligent. species in the universe." And then you. suddenly get the idea that. uh this is a universe full of life. >> What does that mean for religion? I think all dogmas will just apply to.

it, you know. And I think that the. Vatican's already gotten ahead of it and. said, you know, they put out a message a. couple years ago that basically the the. the gist of it was, you know, God's. God's universe and God's work is vast. and, you know, >> and you couldn't you couldn't uh. you know, say that he he wouldn't have. the ability to do that. I mean. >> Yeah. So I I I I I I I. >> from a religious standpoint. and certainly in the case of the. Catholic Church. they've had uh very positive views about.

population being throughout Yeah. And. there's nothing really at least from the. Catholic Church's perspective, there's. nothing that counters the you know it. does that doesn't allow you to wrap your. head around the fact that there's other. life out there, you know? Are you guys. religious? Not like overly religious, but like you know I my my my mom's Irish. and and grew up going to Catholic school. and I you know I went to a CCD and you. know Sunday school is the it's called a. CCD where I grew up. Um but uh. >> in God? I do. I do. Do you believe in I. do too. Yeah. I'm a practicing Catholic,

so So would that mean that you believe. God has made all of these. aliens as well? That's my that's what my. worldview is. >> Yeah, I would think that I couldn't say. that's not the case. But you know, as a scientist I can't. prove that that it is the case, but. you know, just just on the statistics of. it it's pretty likely. You know, an interesting thing happening. right now Steven too is these people who. have been gatekeeping the truth. Um a lot of them are afraid to come. forward and tell the White House what.

they know because they they think. they're going to be villainized. They. they think the optics around this are. such that like if someone's been. covering this up, they're they're. they're they're the villain of the. story, right? And so. um the White House and the Director of. National Intelligence and the Department. of War realized this and so in the last. couple of weeks they've been messaging. out to the military and the intelligence. community. that this is not a witch hunt, it's not. an endeavor to punish anyone. They want.

to encourage people to come forward, they assure them there will be no no. punishment uh for being involved in. gatekeeping this. They just want to. learn the truth and find out where the. real evidence sits. So that's another. thing that's playing out right now that. I think if it gets out there enough, uh. it will lead to more people coming. forward with that. that evidence we all want to see. Yep. Earlier on we you talked about how some. people feel like their lives are at risk. because of what they know. Has there been any instance of anyone. being punished for saying anything in. this regard?

Well, certainly having having their. clearances pulled or losing their up. opportunities for advancement, uh. we we've heard stories like that from. from several people in the intelligence. community. Is there any Is there anyone. you can name that has said that they. were threatened or punished or in some. form because of what they know? >> the the number one whistleblower for for. many people has been David Grusch. And so he has uh outlined the various. steps taken against him to.

basically ruin his career significantly. enough that he went to the Inspector. General of the intelligence community. and said, "I'm being punished, shoved aside, losing clearances, and so on because I. came out with this data." And they said, "Well, what you provided us is, you know, serious, worthy of consideration.". >> And I think a lot of people have had. their lives threatened. Um I'm not. certain if if anyone has been killed, um.

but I know people have had their lives. threatened. Yeah. And who's threatening them? People that are involved um. in. this this program, referred to as the. legacy program. Who think that the. evidence should not ever come out. This legacy program. So this is a. program run within the US government? To it. US government. >> Elements of elements of it, uh and also. defense contractors. >> And you think the legacy program knows.

the truth on this regard? Yes, because they have the first-hand. evidence of the crash materials and the. bodies. There's 80 years of data that this. this. group has. And they haven't released or leaked that. data for the last 80 years. There'd be no advantage. No one's hacked. it. This This program is the epitome of. a special access program. I think this. program is as off the grid as it it.

could possibly be. It almost seems like there's nothing. that eventually hasn't come to come to. light that the government have done. Like I've sat here and interviewed a lot. of CIA spies. who've told me the history of the CIA. and this program that lasted for 12. years and then it comes out and this. program and I mean even some of the. stuff that I've heard you talk about how. around um. what's it called? Remote viewing. Remote. viewing. Remote viewing. Yeah. That was. that CIA project? That was CIA. What is. remote viewing? Remote viewing, well, the the the CIA suddenly got concerned. because they saw that the the Soviets.

were spending millions of dollars at. some of their best institutes to. investigate the possible use of quote. ESP. What's ESP? Psychic ability. >> Yeah. Psychic abilities, extrasensory. perception. And so as it turns out I was at Stanford. Research Institute and they saw my. background. They they came to me and. said, you know, "We'd like for you to to look into this. Is there anything to this? I mean no um. scientist in America even believes there. is such thing as ESP." Who came to you?

CIA. This is This is in the '70s. >> Yeah. The CIA. >> Back in the '70s. >> approached you in the '70s and asked you. to investigate remote viewing. That's. right. And so they asked me to set up a. small program and 50 or 60 K or. whatever. They said, you know, "We hope. you'll find this is all nonsense. We can. forget about it. We don't have to worry. about it.". And it grew into, you know, more than a. two-decade program, millions of dollars. Stargate is. the label for it that most people know. about because by now most of the.

information in the program came out. And. basically it we just we just found that. the people. essentially just like you have artistic. ability or athletic ability or whatever, musical ability. Well, we found out that remote viewing, this ability to sit in a location and. pick up information from some place far. away uh is a talent that many people. could demonstrate. And so we ended up.

actually training Army intelligence. officers at the Army Intelligence and. Security Command at Fort Meade. how to do this. And so So wait, let me. just simplify this for the audience that. might not fully understand what we're. talking about. So remote viewing is the. idea that I could sit here in London. where we are now and I could be trained. to see what was going on in another part. of the world. >> your mind's eye go to a remote location. >> I'll give you [clears throat] a specific. example. A Soviet plane that CIA wanted.

to get hold of went down somewhere in. Africa. And they didn't they didn't know where. because the pilot had bailed out and it. just went on until it ran out of gas. So. we got two of our quote best remote. viewers, one that worked for the Air. Force and one that worked for my. organization to say, "Okay, here's a map. of Africa. Where's that damn plane? We. got to go in and get it.". And they put an X on the map that was in. 3 miles of where the plane went down out. of the hundreds of thousands of square.

miles. And so the CIA went and it got. the plane. So I mean it was, you know, how do they do that? Well, By the way, there's an audio recording of President. Jimmy Carter telling that story. >> Yeah. Hm. Post post [clears throat]. presidency. Maybe we should play that. One time we had a a small plane go down. somewhere in Africa. We were not able to. find it by surveillance from our. satellites. So the director of the CIA, he was also director of all the. intelligence agencies,

heard about a uh. a woman in California that uh was a. medium. And he uh contacted her, and she. gave him the. latitude and longitude of the plane's. whereabouts. And the next time one of. our space satellites went over that. area, we located the plane where she. said it was. Again, this sounds like. it's impossible. Sounds like I give It. sounds completely bananas. It sounds.

like something out of an X-Men comic. book. It sounds crazy. But Well, I was. okay. It is You want to be really. practical about it. Uh. you know, they they often our skeptics. would say, "Well, if they're so psychic, why aren't they rich? Why aren't they in. the stock market or whatever?". So, we set up a little program on on a. challenge to predict silver futures. To. predict to predict what? Silver futures. >> Just the value of silver? The value of. silver silver on a daily basis was it. going to go up or go down?

So, we had somebody said, "Okay, I I. will if you'll set up a little program. like that for 30 days, I'll bet on what. your quote remote viewers say, and I'll put the money in, and I'll give. you 10% of what I make." So, I said, "Okay, fine." Now, long story short, uh. made um. $260,000. in the 30 days. We got our 10%, which is. $26,000. So, people could actually. in this case even look into the future a. day and.

generate a description of what they were. going to see and handle the following. day. Presumably not everybody. How many. people did you have. do that? >> We had. uh seven in that experiment. >> And how many of them were successful in. generating. >> Six of the seven. uh generated really good data. So, were. those six of people now rich? Well, I don't I don't know. Uh some of. them may may have followed up. They. don't Why were those six people picked? Since we had learned that sort of.

anybody can do this, uh. we were actually raising money for a. school that was being put together. So, I just went to the board of directors. and said, "Okay, I'm going to give you a. crash course over the weekend in {quote}. remote viewing of the type we train. intelligence officers to do.". And. so, you're going to be it. So, you just it was the board of The. school. >> The board board of the school. Okay. They all knew what I did for a living. and so This program Stargate got.

so much. actionable intelligence from the remote. viewers that Hal started briefing at the. time the director of the CIA on a. regular basis. >> have briefed all the way up to Bill. Casey, the director of the CIA. So, does. it still exist, this program? In any capacity? Uh remote viewing? If. it does, you wouldn't hear about it. Why? Because. it'd be a best black highly classified. program. Why? Because we don't want our adversaries to. know how we might be getting access to.

their data. You just told us. But people can not believe that, and. that's fine. But aren't you under some. sort of contract? Well, as it turns out, the CIA and and. DIA, also went to the DIA, that program. finally got declassified. at the level that was operating at, and. that you can go to the CIA reading room. and you can get all the documents. All. of So, your work was originally. classified? Oh, it was originally top. secret special access program. Yeah.

There's a part of me that goes, "Listen, if people could do remote viewing and. see, you know, into other parts of the. world or predict the things that you're. saying, I mean, if if if it was trainable, everything the life as we know it would. be completely flipped on its head. >> I think it's unreasonable to think that. when Stargate became public, the US. government stopped. remote viewing. I mean, I wouldn't stop. if I was the US government. If if it.

worked, I wouldn't stop. >> it just went underground, moved to a. different agency. >> Yeah, went underground. So you were training people to do it, though. Yeah. We Well, we had Yeah, we had we. had people that we trained. So train me. >> [laughter]. >> Yeah. How do you train me? Well, now a. number of the uh military intelligence. officers that we trained have now left. the military, and they do have training. courses. Do you Do you believe it? I do. At first, I thought it just. sounded too much like something in a. comic book, right? But.

the more I first read about Stargate in. the declassified documents, started to. realize how serious the government took. it, and the more I learned about it. through Hal, and then eventually. um I really don't want to get into the. details of this, but eventually. um I got connected with someone who has. done remote viewing for the government, and they did a demonstration for me that. blew my mind. Cuz you would think if anyone was. capable of doing remote viewing, they. could go on the internet and make one.

prediction or do one video that would. be, you know, proven to be true, and. they would literally be considered to be. a superhuman. Like they would literally be. I mean, people would probably think they. were a deity or a. or a spiritual leader or something. Well, if one person could do remote. viewing. >> was that it seems to be an act action. that. is just part of the human makeup. And so it isn't like they're super deity. or god-like or really off the charts.

It's something that people can learn to. do, like they can learn to play the. piano or whatever it is for whatever. reason. Maybe it was a skill set that. anyone. >> new uh. you know, psychiatrists and. neurophysiologists. beginning to study, you know, how does. consciousness do its thing in the brain. and so on and. are there elements of it once you get. into quantum theory and quantum. entanglement that would say you could. have evidence, you know, beyond just our physical. structure. >> Like it could be rationalized with like.

a quantum connection basically that that. the moving your mind's eye to another. location which also goes to like, you. know, Hal's life very interestingly, you. know, first was the Stargate stuff and. then he got into UAP and the overlap. that I find fascinating is some of these. craft that have been found or crashes. that have happened. The reports from people involved say. that a lot of them don't have any. control panels in them. Mhm. Like. they're basically empty other than seats. which suggests that maybe there's some.

sort of mind connection controlling. these craft. I did wonder about the. crafts. So I thought, you know, if I was. an advanced civilization, why would I. and I was that small, why would I send. life to these planets when I could just. send the crafts? You know, why am I sending biological. life when I could just send the Maybe. they're manufactured biological life. Maybe it's maybe they're the equivalent. Maybe they're not sentient. Yeah. It's true. But the remote viewing stuff. opens up a lot of possibilities if Yeah, I mean we as part of this CIA program,

we found that. people could. affect quantum devices that were. totally shielded by superconducting. shielding. Tell them Tell them that. particular story. That's a Yeah, we we. uh. there's a quote psychic so-called and uh. so I brought him to Stanford and I was. skeptical at the time and uh I said, "Okay, well, we've got this super. experiment where there's tiny quantum. chip down inside of this electrical.

shielding, magnetic shielding, superconducting shielding. We We to see. if you can affect it. And he did. I mean, this is supposed to. be totally non-affectable. from by anything on the outside. In. fact, it was developed by the Navy to. just look for corks and stuff like that. And so, it was supposed to not be. influenced from the outside by anything. And he influenced it. And when I say he. influenced it, I'm not just saying. there's a little blip that, you know,

you could kind of read into it. No, it. it was a system where. it ordinarily just had an oscillating. signal like that. And then when he. affected it, it just stopped the. oscillation. And then he could also make the. oscillation go twice as fast. Of course, for a graduate student whose life. depended on this not being. affected from the outside, you know, really. But then they uh they. that that that raised a big issue for. them. That means uh gee, does that mean. if we put if we hide our documents.

inside of superconducting safes, uh the. Russians might be able to. So, actually when we had detente, the. American remote viewers got together. with the Soviet remote viewers and. traded war stories. Did experiments together for You know, I'm I think I'm naturally skeptical cuz. I'm skeptical with all things, but I'm. often proven wrong. So, you know, my fiance, she um she. believes lots of things I don't believe. And so so frequently she's been proven. right in those things that I remain. open-minded.

to things in life. cuz I've learned to. So, I think that's where I remain. I. remain open-minded. And I think on the balance of. probability, if you ask me, do I think. there's other life in the universe? I. think it would be crazy to say there. wasn't. Right. Right. But it but. [clears throat] has there been life that. has arrived here that we've recovered? I. just I would need more evidence. Is. there. >> I I think I think that's the right. attitude. And we're hoping that uh with. the. release of documents that's starting to.

happen now, that you'll get that evidence, but in. the absence of actually. getting access to the evidence, it's. very reasonable that to be skeptical. Yeah, absolutely. >> I do think though that. the current administration in the US. is so focused on following through with. this directive the president gave to. to get. all the evidence within the possession. of the federal government, all different. agencies, military branches, and then. figure out what can be declassified. I. think they're taking it so serious that. we're going to we're going to get to.

more tranches of more meaningful. evidence. And I think eventually we'll. get to that thing that we that moment. that we've all only seen in movies where. a sitting president steps to a. microphone and tells the world we're not. alone in the universe. I think I think. we're going to get there. I think so, too. Just a matter of time. Does it change the meaning of life if. that becomes the case? Does it Does it. mean anything for us as humans? What do you think the meaning of life. is, How? And do you think it we should. change our behavior in any way even if. this. moment does occur? I think if we found.

out that there were life throughout the. universe that it's. it can be developed in all kinds of. forms. then then that makes us. take a new look at well, what does it. mean to be human? You know, we ought to. think about if we can interacting with. these other species and seeing what we. can learn from them and. what might they learn from us? And so, it just opens up a whole new sort of. view of what the universe is like. I. mean, I've got I've [snorts] got 15.

grandkids. They should grow up in a. universe where it's teeming with life. and they know that and that's a very. kind of an exciting kind of thing. I. think it also could be the one thing. that could unify all of humanity. You know, Reagan gave a great speech. during his presidency at the United. Nations where he said he often thinks. that it might be a threat from outside. this universe that makes all of humanity. come together and think more about what. it has in common than than its. differences. Um and you know, it moves them past the.

the the the conflicts of the moment. And. that might be, you know, wishful. thinking and might be naive, but it also. might actually be the one thing that. could that could line people up. How's. it changed how you think about the. the meaning of life? Between what I've. learned about the the reality of the UAP. situation and the existence of non-human. intelligent life, what I've learned. about, for example, remote viewing, it's. made me realize that our sort of Western. present-day view of reality is not.

complete. You know, we think we know. everything there is. you know, to life and and how things. work and we just don't. And when you're. honest with yourself and you look back. at history, all the times people thought. that they were they were proven wrong. pretty quickly. Right. And so it's made me open to a lot. more possibilities um than than I would. have been just just 10 years ago. Do you think it could be a a renaissance. in in our attitudes toward life and and. everything? Yeah. Are you both open to.

being wrong? Yeah, look, I should have said this. early on. When I first started making my. documentary, I was totally prepared to. have people tell me, "Look, this is all. It was all cover for our. classified projects." Did they? No, no. one did. That was the crazy thing. Not. not a single person did. I would I was. trying to pull it out of people. I'd be. like, you know, "Come on, this is really this. is like a black project then on an on. acknowledged special access program, right? Like just just say nothing if. that's the case." And they're like, "No,

dude. Not not even close." Like it was. over and over and and these weren't. random people. These were really senior. people on the Senate Intelligence. Committee, on the Senate Armed Services. Committee, um. leaders in in the intelligence. community, leaders in in in the. military. And so, yeah. It's hard to ignore. Yeah. Well, Trump has released the first round of. the UAP reports. Um so I guess in many. respects this conversation is to be. continued. Yeah. Yeah. And we we we have. been told by our friends in government.

that the next tranche of evidence is. likely to come out in the next 30 days. or so. And it's going to be a rolling. declassification process. So there'll be. a lot more to talk about in the near. future. Thank you so much for your time. Really appreciate it. I feel very. curious. Yeah. Very very curious and I I. highly recommend people go check out. your documentary. I'm going to link it. below. Um and I think one of the great. things about the documentary is the. diversity of people you've spoken to. including Marco Rubio who is what now. working alongside President Trump and. many others including yourself Hal. Um. and other guests that I've like people.

like Jay who um I hope to speak to you. sometime soon. Cool. Thank you for. having us and thank [clears throat] you. for bringing attention to interesting. topics like this. I really do think. you know, you know, people like you are. are helping open people's minds. You. know, in the past we only had you know, it wasn't that long ago there's only. four TV networks, right? And a small. group of legacy media people controlled. what people thought about really. So. people like you are opening up. everyone's minds to other possibilities. and other information and so thank you. >> Yeah, it's it's it's interesting cuz. again so sometimes I I think I have to.

remind the audience of like why I do. what I do and why I pick the subjects. that I pick. But it's honestly just what. I'm curious about. And if if something. rises in public curiosity and it's in my. my curiosity then I'll speak about it. It's not an endorsement of me believing. everything. It is just me wanting to. learn more. Yeah. And I you know, I I. wish we lived in a society that was more. open-minded generally to the people on. the other side of the aisle or to. subjects that are currently considered. to be I don't know, controversial or or. or not because you know, it's not lost. on me that my own very existence as a.

black businessman. is in of itself um something that was. once a very controversial idea. And so I'm all for you know, uh controversial ideas being having some. kind of space to be. >> Every major breakthrough in the history. of humanity came from someone being. curious, right? And wanting to learn. about something they weren't aware of. So, I I think great things will come out. of it. And and and you just touched on. something we didn't mention, which is I. found, shockingly, that this is the the.

UAP issue, non-human subtle life, is the. most bipartisan issue in Washington, D.C. At a time when Democrats and. Republicans in the United States can't. agree on anything, they're completely. lined up on this being the biggest issue. of our time. Extremely significant. And. like that says a lot, too, you know? Yeah. To be continued. >> To be continued. YouTube have this new. crazy algorithm where they know exactly. what video you would like to watch next. based on AI and all of your viewing. behavior. And the algorithm says that. this video is the perfect video for you.

It's different for everybody looking. right now. Check this video out, I bet. you you might love it.
