In this episode of Lehto Files, Chris Lehto sits down with Lue Elizondo, former military intelligence officer and whistleblower, for a raw and honest conversation about the true threat facing humanity. It's not aliens. It's not AI. It's something far more human: corruption. Lue shares a deeply personal story about his father—and explains how that experience shaped his view of global secrecy, institutional failure, and the real risks behind the UAP cover-up. This is not just a conversation about UFOs. It's about trust, integrity, and what kind of world we're leaving behind.

In this exclusive breakdown, I analyze the newly released USS Jackson UAP video, confirmed by Senior Chief Alex Wiggins. This Tic Tac-shaped object was captured on FLIR and radar—and it's not a commercial airliner. -As a retired F-16 pilot with nearly two decades of experience in targeting systems and tactical radar operations, I explain: ✅ How the object was tracked ✅ Why the radar “X” hits appear every second ✅ Trigonometric range and size analysis ✅ What makes this case different from debunked videos like Chile's This is one of the most credible UAP cases ever recorded. If AARO and Congress don't investigate this, what are we even doing?

Retired F-16 pilot Chris Lehto analyzes the 2023 USS Jackson UAP footage, a new Tic Tac encounter echoing the 2004 Nimitz case. Radar, SAFIRE FLIR, and Navy veteran testimony reveal transmedium travel and hypersonic speeds—yet AARO claims no record. Why the holdup? Congress must demand answers.Watch the full USS Jackson story on Weaponized podcast, Episode #73: https://www.weaponizedpodcast.com/news-1/uss-jackson-tic-tac-uap Share and contact Rep.

Earth's spin could power the future—and Giza might've done it first! In March 2025, Princeton's breakthrough pulled free electricity from Earth's rotation—17-18 microvolts, no fuel, just spin (465 m/s at the equator, 402 m/s at Giza) vs. a static magnetic field. What's Earth pushing against? Modern physics flops: “mass has inertia,” no why. My Mach-aether theory says it's cosmic pull, not spacetime. Scale this up—limitless energy! Then, Giza's 2025 radar find: 648-m wells, 80-m cubes. Ancient generators? True north since 2580 BC—spin's the key. Redshift's drag, no dark BS—just aether.

Unveiling a game-changing discovery at the Great Pyramid! In this video, I dive into how SAR tomography predicted a hidden corridor in 2020—confirmed in 2023 by the Scan Pyramids team. Debunking Metatron and Sabine Hosenfelder, I explore the mind-blowing evidence, new 2025 research, and what this tech could reveal next. Ancient secrets meet cutting-edge science—don't miss it! Links to papers and more in the description.Metatron's debunking video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcbYVKfESAkSabine Hossenfelder's debunking video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqCudopAz64Correction/Update: Thanks for watching! I want to clarify a couple of points. First, the date on the SAR tomography paper by Biondi and Malanga ("Received: 07 October 2020") is likely a typo!The official publication record shows it was received on 30 August 2022 and published in October 2022. Second, the authors likely knew of the North Face Corridor's suspected existence, as the Scan Pyramids project announced an anomaly in 2016-2017. While I didn't claim their finding was completely independent, I also didn't mention this context. Their SAR method still accurately detected the corridor's location, showcasing its potential as a powerful tool for archaeological exploration. Apologies for any confusion, and I'll cover this in more detail in a future video!Check out my two previous videos on this topic: Pilot Unveils Pyramid Secret https://youtu.be/8DZ1p-lF3rI Space Radar Can See Underground https://youtu.be/-E_s4ipIGtUChris Lehto is a former F-16 pilot with 18 years of experience in the Air Force.

Pilot Probes Pyramid Depths: Hidden Machines?

Welcome to the Financial Freedom & Wealth Trailblazers Podcast! In this episode, we'll explore how hands-on experiences, from small transactions to entrepreneurial ventures, can teach children the real worth of money and why this is a key lesson for their future. Julie Bennett co-founded Lemonade Standers with her sister, Emily. Together, they are sisters and moms on a mission to find fun and playful ways for kids to learn and practice essential life skills, such as understanding how money works and how to connect with others. Having experienced firsthand the pitfalls of modern shopping culture, where "just tap, slide, or insert" your card has made money nearly invisible to kids, they were inspired to take action. Their goal is to bring back the concept that kids learn best through play, experience, and practice—something as simple and relatable as a lemonade stand. With over 35 years of combined corporate and entrepreneurial experience, two MBAs, a Master's in Aeronautical Science, hundreds of hours of career development coaching, and more than 3,000 hours of research, Julie and Emily created Lemonade Standers to help kids build the financial knowledge and skills they need to create the life they want.

Increasingly, the United States is becoming more and more dependent on Space-based technologies and systems. Our adversaries are well aware of this and have become much more aggressive in their attempts to understand, infiltrate and interfere with Space-based operations, while watching the corresponding impacts to ground-based critical infrastructure. Mr. Keen will discuss that increasing dependency and the associated cyber aspect, then extrapolate that into the upstream and downstream impacts to terrestrial critical infrastructure that occur as a result of Space-based events. Finally, he will discuss how the expanding presence of Space-based operations presents an increasing and dangerous cyber threat to both the Space-based and terrestrial-based critical infrastructure systems as they become even more co-dependent moving forward. About the speaker: Currently a Senior Advisor on Space and Cybersecurity within the National Risk Management Center, Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Ronald Keen is a retired Air Force officer with an extensive background in intelligence and space systems operations, as well as critical infrastructure protection.

Episode 41:  Don't be Underestimated Courtney's journey is about owning her story and not letting it own her. As Courtney will tell you, a violent childhood in Atlanta, followed by a decision to drop out of high school, led her down a path of poor decision-making that continued for years. But, since earning her GED in 1992, Courtney has overcome insurmountable obstacles in both her professional and personal life. Setting the bar high, she overcame her fear of flying and became a pilot in 2002. Two years later she was certified to teach aspiring pilots how to fly and follow their passion. In 2008, Courtney began her professional airline pilot career, in an industry where fewer than 4% of pilots are women.  Within six years she earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master of Aeronautical Science with specializations in space operations and aerospace safety systems from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University. A 2012 Women Future Leaders Scholarship award fueled her determination. In 2014, Courtney moved to Nicaragua and started a nonprofit, Runucate (run+educate), to provide educational scholarships and teach English in the local community while she continued to work as a pilot. She unexpectedly relocated full time to the United States in May 2018 after political unrest erupted in Central America. She shifted her non profit focus and continues to run marathons globally to raise awareness and funds for organizations that fight illiteracy and provide education. In 2020 Courtney published a tell all memoir, This Is Your Captain Speaking - Reaching for the Sky Despite a Lifetime of Depression, Abuse and Fear.  Through it all Courtney remains true to her mission of inspiration, mentorship and is a fierce advocate of the underdog.  Podcast sponsor:  William and Lauren If you want to see if it's a good fit to work with Jen V. and JRT on speaking courageously as a leader, check us out at https://www.voicefirstworld.com

For Eric, avid podcast listeners must look into the guests they listen to more than just listening to what they have to share. For one, Eric believes that he is a plain and simple example of how anybody can do what he did as an investor. Just like his listeners, Eric embraces his regularity. And just like any regular dude, if it was possible for him, it is possible for you too. In this episode of Wealth Science Podcast, Eric Upchurch shares his story of becoming an accidental landlord, the importance of commitment and coachability to success, what they aim to achieve in ADPI as its co-founder, and so much more. Take away a standard for communication in this episode of Wealth Science with guest Eric Upchurch! Eric on being an over communicator When you're in a business where you regularly check with lawyers, talk to SCC attorneys, and talk to lenders all the way up to closing, communication is a massive part of success. And that communication should be embedded in all teams. For Eric, that is non-negotiable. As a leader of teams, communication is a must for all of his members in every part of the transaction. For a team to be a successful mechanic to any business, Eric believes that everyone must learn to constantly push in information. He, or any leader, shouldn't have to continually pull out data from key team members and updates regarding integral processes. "Hey, I just completed this task" is significantly different from having to be asked, "Hey, did you finish that task?" What does Eric Upchurch use to address veteran homelessness?

The two-day workshop covers a broad range of registrar functions, responsibilities, and roles.

Join me, Nancy, and Emily while we chat over coffee.  Maybe there is something in this episode that you need to hear this week that will spark your gratitude practice.  My love to you all! About my guests: Nancy Polish graduated in 1987 from Troy University with a degree in Early Childhood Education.  While her time in the classroom was limited to 3 days, she found a way to channel her teaching skills through mentoring women in Mary Kay cosmetics. For the last 33 years, she has led an organization of nearly 500 strong to heights exceeding $650,000 in annual retail sales.While with Mary Kay she has earned the use of 17 free cars, ten being the prestigious Pink Cadillac.  She has exceeded the 2.5 -million-dollar mark in commissions earned and the best part....she loves what she does every day. This year her unit is completing their 2nd appearance in a Unit Circle of Excellence, an award given to outstanding leaders in Mary Kay for annual sales more than $650,000. In the last 5 years, Nancy has taken what she has learned in cosmetics and transitioned into training executives and workforces all over the country.  She has the privilege of training on image and attitude, and the honor of helping to make women and men better in business. Nancy is the mother of one son, Charlie, age 22.  Charlie is an Aeronautical Science graduate from Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Florida, and currently resides in Phoenix, AZ. Nancy's newest adventure is designing a bi-coastal life spending time at home on the Gulf Coast of Florida with dreams to also spend time in the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Emily Sims' professional career began with a start up wireless company and 13 individuals.  Her tenure there took her from a sales associate and culminating as a regional vice president with a 30 million dollar sales force. A newborn baby girl took Emily to a new career with Mary Kay for the last 20 years. It afforded her flexibility and an opportunity to replace her executive income. 13 free cars and 18 years in the top 1% of the company for annual sales. Emily has been involved in numerous executive boards of her church and contributed to local companies expanding their image training supporting the growth of healthy work environments. Emily celebrates 23 years of marriage to her husband Steve, and they have one daughter Addie who is a junior at Samford University in Birmingham, AL.  Addie has the entrepreneurial spirit and recently launched mysassystickers.com this year reaching 450+ subscribers in the initial start up of the company, all while fulfilling her commitments as a busy college student.

Having the desire to fly fighter jets since seeing the movie “Top Gun,” Chandra Beckman became part of the elite group of women who have flown United States Air Force fighter jets.  Chandra started her AF career in ROTC in 1993, the same year the Department of Defense lifted the ban on women flying combat missions, which opened the door for women to fly fighter jets. She graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Mathematics from Arizona State University in 1998. After a delay due to an unexpected pregnancy, she attended USAF Pilot Training where she earned an assignment to fly the F-15C Eagle, and was the first woman to fly that aircraft as a mother. During her time flying the F-15C, Chandra supported the defense of the homeland through Operation NOBLE EAGLE and flew combat missions during the opening weeks of Operation IRAQI FREEDOM.  Following three years flying the F-15C, she was one of only 3 women assigned to fly the first stealth fighter aircraft, the F-117A Nighthawk. During her time flying that aircraft, she deployed in support of security operations to the Korean peninsula, coordinated with media groups to showcase the final F-117 RED FLAG, and mentored school children and Airmen of all ranks. Taking a break from flying, Chandra was stationed in the Republic of Korea where she was assigned to the Combined Air Operations Center. While there she developed and implemented the first Operations Center training program for new personnel and worked jobs in both offensive and defensive combat training roles. Chandra then went on to be an Instructor Pilot at the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program. However, health challenges that had begun while she was stationed in the Republic of Korea finally grounded her from flying.  From 2009-2017, she earned a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science and held multiple jobs which included: Director of Staff for the 82 Training Wing, an organization with a permanent staff of over 3,000 people worldwide serving a student population of almost 80,000 annually; and Director of Operations for RED FLAG, the organization responsible for establishing the framework to train US and coalition nation members in the world’s most realistic air combat scenarios. Retired from active duty, Chandra enjoys having the freedom to travel the world with her husband and be available for her children whenever and wherever they need her to be. She is a member of the Veteran Advisory Team for the National Foundation for Integrative Medicine and looks forward to helping others in that capacity.

Four months ago, I was at a party in Park City, Utah that happened to be chock full of chiropractic physicians. While I was leaning against the bar mixing myself a white wine kombucha spritzer, as I'm prone to do, a doctor named Steve Geanopulos approached me and introduced himself. Sensing I was a fellow physiology geek with his science-spidey sense, he proceeded to fill me in on a fascinating paper entitled "." He then went on to explain that this paper, which we'll discuss in today's podcast along with plenty of other neural fixing and neural enhancing topics, forms the basis of the care he provides for his chronic brain based patients (not only concussion but anyone who struggles with movement, sight, focus, attention, or other brain based issues.) We also discussed the work Steve does with professional and collegiate athletes and concussion with his colleague Ben Velazquez, and the work he's done with a guy named Guy Voyer over the past 20 years with ELDOA - a form of fascial stretching that I personally incorporate in my own training and my clients' protocols. He described his approach as a "neuro-chemical, neuro-immunological, neuro-mechanical approach". So why is this guy exactly? Dr. Steven G. Geanopulos, affectionately known as ‘Dr G’, is a speaker, writer, and leader in the world of functional neurology / functional medicine and is quickly becoming one of America’s leading experts in lifelong, optimized living. His experience and clinical approach has proven that diminished health and vitality can be reclaimed by just about any proactive person at any age. Dr G.’s principles of practice cover the 5 essential keys to resolving the underlying cause of health problems and performance concerns including; assessing the nervous system for interference, endocrine system, detoxification systems, nutrition and fitness. Dr. G has completed his postgraduate studies in the field of Functional Neurology and attained board certification through the Carrick Institute, a distinction shared by fewer than 700 people worldwide. Dr. G is a lifelong learner and has completed hundreds of hours of training in the fields of chiropractic neurology and functional medicine. The material he shares covers everything required to take control of your health, while dispelling the ever-growing number of fallacies and myths related to this subject. Dr. G’s fascinating and refreshing approach to body transformation focuses immune function, brain function, nutrition, management of our personal environment, exercise and hormone balance. Dr. G currently practices virtually with clients and sees patients from all over the world with his main practice located in New York City. His practice has 3 main areas of focus: 1. Brain health 2. Metabolic health 3. Structural and functional integrity and optimization. These 3 areas of focus are intimately connected and require Dr. G’s unique expertise. Eventually, I made it to New York City to meet with Steve and also meet his colleague there: Benjamin Velazquez Pagan. Ben's qualifications include: -Licensed Soma-Trainer (Performance Physical Therapy) -Certified Strength & Conditioning Coach -Member, International Sports Sciences Association -Member, National Strength & Conditioning Association -Member, American College of Sports Medicine -Co-Contributing Author, “Fascia – Clinical Applications for Health and Human Performance.” As a competitive athlete, Benjamin Velazquez realizes the value and potential that comes with a scientific sports program. As a Performance therapist, his goal is to bridge the gap between cutting edge science and today's athlete. Ben's professional experience includes Managing Partner and Director of Human Performance of Sports Lab NYC LLC; President of Grey Matters Sports Group LLC. He designs programs and coaches his New York clientele that ranges from elite athlete to high profile celebrity. In addition to a B.S. degree in Aeronautical Science, Ben holds several certifications, which include NCSA Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist, Licensed Performance Soma- Therapist, ACSM Exercise Specialist, ISSA Sports performance Nutritionist, and many more. Ben's client roster includes: -22 current and Former N.H.L. Athletes, -18 current and former M.L.B. Players -5 Division 1 NCAA Soccer Players -12 Current N.F.L. Athletes. -The Women’s 2006 Track Team at University of Texas. Ben has also worked with the Saskatoon Blades Hockey Team 1999-2000, the 2003 national champion New York Freedom Soccer Team as well as 5 Athletes at The Sydney 2000 Olympic Games. Ben has spent the last two years researching the use of corrective exercise in mitigating the risk factors of concussions in athletes. Along with his team at Grey Matters Sports Group, he has successfully worked with athletes from five different sports that were recovering from multiple concussions. He and his team have pioneered a five-tier method of rehabilitating the athlete that has suffered from concussive trauma. During my discussion with Ben and Steve, you'll discover: -Why concussions today are much different today than they were 30 years ago... -Why Steve describes concussions as an immune system issue... -Steve and Ben's approach for returning to play, work or school after a head injury or concussion-like syndrome... -Why Steve had me wear a giant pair of infrared goggles when he evaluated me in New York City... -What kind of bloodwork you have had done to see if you've had a concussion... -Why Ben V. feels that anybody who is dealing with a concussion or TBI should learn a form of fascial stretching called ELDOA... -And much more!

News Poway approves first-of-its-kind drone law The Poway, California City Council voted to ban drones from flying over most of the city. What started out as an attempt to address concerns over drones interfering with firefighting efforts, grew in scope to cover 75% of the city. The mayor says, "This is not the perfect ordinance. We are not going to use this like a hammer, and say you can't play with your drone in your driveway. You won't see us enforce this unless we have a wildfire and someone is interfering with first responder efforts." As Drones Flood US Skies, States Are On A Legal Collision Course The growing patchwork of state and local laws and ordinances has commercial drone operators nervous, and with good reason. There are questions of jurisdiction to enact laws, overreaching laws that stifle innovation and commerce, and enforceability. Drone reports detailed This article from the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association (AOPA) says that 51% of the drone sightings reported by pilots to the FAA have come from California, Texas, Florida, New Jersey, and New York. Unconfirmed midair between Piper Apache and unidentified RPA (update) FAA Investigating Reported UAV Collision with Piper Twin A twin-engine Piper PA-23 Aztec was struck at 2,500 feet near Lewis University Airport (KLOT) in Illinois on August 27, 2015. The pilot says it was a UAV that damaged a horizontal stabilizer leading edge. Some reports say it was a bird strike. The FAA is investigating. FAA Releases Updated Model Aircraft Guidance The FAA published Advisory Circular No. 91-57A, Model Aircraft Operating Standards [PDF] to update the guidance from 1981 to reflect “current law governing hobby or recreational use of unmanned aircraft.” That previous guidance was written in 1981,

We speak with Bill English from the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) about that agency's investigations of unmanned aircraft accidents. Bill talks about the scope of their involvement, the data available to investigators, and the similarities to manned aircraft. We also talk about the FAA NPRM and the role of the NTSB when FAA enforcement penalties are appealed. Guest Bill English is an Investigator-in-Charge in the Major Investigations Division of the Office of Aviation Safety.  He has been with the NTSB since 1999 as an investigator on major air carrier events such as Asiana Boeing 777 in San Francisco and the B747 cargo fire in Dubai. Bill is also the NTSB's resource for unmanned aircraft investigations. He has built and flown his own small multi-rotor system, and trained on numerous platforms up to the MQ-9.  He was also responsible for developing the NTSB's civil unmanned aircraft accident regulations, investigations manual, and training programs. In addition to his NTSB responsibilities, Bill is a certified instrument flight instructor and commercial pilot in single and multi-engine airplanes; has flown aerial observation, corporate, and electronics test aircraft; and has extensive experience in flight inspection and advanced navigation technology.  He holds degrees in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle University, in Geospatial Intelligence from Penn State, and also graduated from the USAF Mishap Investigation Course. The National Transportation Safety Board is an independent Federal agency charged by Congress with investigating every civil aviation accident the United States and significant accidents in other modes of transportation – railroad, highway, marine and pipeline. The NTSB determines the probable cause of the accidents and issues safety recommendations aimed at preventing future accidents. In addition, the NTSB carries out special studies concerning transportation safety and coordinates the resources of the Federal Government and other organizations to provide assistance to victims and their family members impacted by major transportation disasters. Mentioned Aviation Gateway Park Brings Innovation, Education and UAVs AirVenture The latest innovations, unmanned drone demonstrations, and a world of possibilities for young aviation enthusiasts are part of the new Aviation Gateway Park that makes its debut at EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2015. One of the highlights of Aviation Gateway Park will be a new “Drone Cage,” where unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) will be demonstrated each day during AirVenture. Manufacturer demos, educational presentations, obstacle course contests, and free flight can be viewed from all sides of the cage, including from bleachers inside the Park's Innovations Center. Companies interested in exhibiting and demonstrating should contact EAA's exhibits office at exhibits@eaa.org.
