Continuing our coverage of the Tic Tac UFO incident, due to the recent bold claims by Ross Coulthart that have sparked major controversy in the UFO community, we bring you another interview from the archives where we spoke with several witnesses of both the Tic Tac and the Gimbal incidents. Gary Voorhis and Jason Turner describe the dramatic string of events that would ultimately lead to fighter jets being scrambled to intercept the mysterious, oblong-shaped object we've seen in the official Navy video released by the Department of Defense. Then, Matthew Roberts discusses the atmosphere on the USS Theodore Roosevelt when the other two DoD-released videos were filmed and how it was handled in real-time. More importantly, we discuss the impact these events have had on these men during and after, and how it has ultimately led to all three of them continuing to search for answers both in the skies, and from within. My special thanks to Gary Voorhis, Jason Turner, and Matthew Roberts for their service and for their time and insights in this panel discussion. Also my special thanks to the Contact in the Desert virtual event for organizing this original panel discussion.Please take a moment to rate and review us on Spotify and Apple.Book Ryan on CAMEO at: https://bit.ly/3kwz3DOPatreon: http://www.patreon.com/somewhereskiesByMeACoffee: http://www.buymeacoffee.com/UFxzyzHOaQPayPal: Sprague51@hotmail.comDiscord: https://discord.gg/NTkmuwyB4FBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ryansprague.bsky.socialTwitter: https://twitter.com/SomewhereSkiesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/somewhereskiespod/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ryansprague51Order Ryan's new book: https://a.co/d/4KNQnM4Order Ryan's older book: https://amzn.to/3PmydYCStore: http://tee.pub/lic/ULZAy7IY12URead Ryan's articles at: https://medium.com/@ryan-sprague51Opening Theme Song by SeptembryoCopyright © 2025 Ryan Sprague.

A bonus episode for you this weekend to look back at my first roundtable conversation from August 2020, but there's a big reason this one is worth checking out. These are three witnesses to the Tic Tac event of November 2004, all from differing expertise and vantage points. Very much worth diving into given the huge talking points Ross Coulthart, Eric Burlison & others have brought up around the origins of the Tic Tac craft.  Recounting the 2004 Nimitz Encounter   Personal Experiences and Reactions   New Revelations and Classified Information   Speculations on the Origin of UAPs   Impact on Military and Public Perception   Certainty of Radar and Visual Sightings   Radar Capabilities and Debunking Theories   Underwater Craft  Data Collection and Chain of Custody   Future of UAP Disclosure   Get in touch with the show: https://www.thatufopodcast.com/contact X/Twitter: @UFOUAPAM Facebook, YouTube & Instagram: "That UFO Podcast" YouTube: ⁠⁠YouTube.com/c/ThatUFOPodcast⁠⁠ Email: ⁠⁠UFOUAPAM@gmail.com All podcast links & associated links: ⁠⁠Linktr.ee/ufouapam⁠ https://www.thatufopodcast.com/ Don't forget to subscribe, like and leave a review of the show Enjoy folks, Andy

Military aircraft circled a Welsh village for three days, waiting for something to arrive. At 2:30 AM, they got their answer when a massive black pyramid materialized above Pentyrch. What followed was a four-minute battle between military forces and unknown objects that left witnesses paralyzed and the government scrambling to cover their tracks. Caz Clarke watched the entire encounter unfold from her backyard. For eight years, she fought the Ministry of Defence to uncover the truth. Her investigation revealed illegal operations, falsified documents, and a coordinated cover-up that reached the highest levels of government. The evidence suggests our military has protocols for hunting UFOs and procedures for retrieval operations. This wasn't an anomaly—it was business as usual.

Synopsis:  Fifty years ago, factory floor workers at Lucas Aerospace challenged their company's focus on war machines with an innovative plan for socially useful production - and it could be just as relevant today.Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation. These audio exclusives are made possible thanks to our member supporters.Description:  Military budgets are skyrocketing across the globe, while funding for social needs—housing, healthcare, education—is being slashed. Politicians often justify this skewed spending by claiming it creates jobs. But what if the people doing those jobs had a say in how public money was used?Fifty years ago, workers at Lucas Aerospace, a U.K. military contractor, designed a visionary proposal known as the Lucas Plan: a worker-led alternative focused on socially useful production rather than weapons of war.In our special report, The Lucas Plan at 50: A Radical Investment in Society, Not the War Machine, Laura spoke with Brian Salisbury, a former Lucas Aerospace shop steward and one of the voices behind that groundbreaking effort. He comes from a proud family of Lucas workers: his father worked there for over 40 years. He himself worked for the company for 22 years at the Birmingham plant. At 90 years old today He says: “At a time when there's a lack of a political alternative narrative to neoliberalism the opportunity to put forward a response from the “bottom up” is essential given the direction of travel by those in power on either side of the Atlantic.”What follows is the full, uncut conversation with Brian—rich with lessons for today's movements for climate justice, peace, and economic democracy.Guest:  Brian Salisbury: Former Lucas Aerospace Shop Steward SAVE THE DATE July 16th 7pm EDT - Virtual Member Event via Zoom:  Join Laura Flanders in conversation with FAIR Program Director and CounterSpin Host Janine Jackson about the future of public media, Bill Moyers' legacy and more.  Plus, you'll get the chance to ask questions and learn more about upcoming episodes of Laura Flanders & Friends!

Three key details inform us that the recent, 2017 and onward, reporting on the UFO/UAP is nothing but a rewriting of the historical narrative using archaic psychological military-intelligence scripts. One, that AATIP spent only $22 million on research between 2012 and 2017, which pales in comparison with government waste, especially for a subject so critical for air safety and national security. Two, the curated cases investigated by the ODNI and DOD-AARO ignore countless credible global reports about the same. Three, the nature of the reporting and investigation are methods of “education” and “debunking” as laid out by the intelligence and military communities back in a 1953 Report called Robertson Panel. Compare that report with statements from the ODNI today:“That the evidence presented on Unidentified Flying Objects shows no indication that these phenomena constitute a direct physical threat to national security...”The ODNI reports says, “UAP continue to represent a hazard to flight safety and pose a possible adversary collection threat,” a standard policy for what cannot be identified; but the conclusion that these are only “potential risks” indicates that the risks “it poses as both a safety of flight hazard and potential adversarial activity,” are only potential. There is no actual threat. “We suggest that these aims may be achieved by an integrated program designed to reassure the public of the total lack of evidence of Inimical forces behind the phenomenon, to train personnel to recognize and reject false indications quickly and effectively, and to strengthen regular channels for the evaluation of and prompt reaction to true indications of hostile measures.”The ODNI report says, “AARO has been established as the DoD focal point for UAP... AARO is the single focal point for all DoD UAP efforts, leading a whole-of-government approach to coordinate UAP collection, reporting, and analysis efforts.” In other words, the ODNI statement is a public relations campaign equivalent to the quote above.“That the national security agencies take immediate steps to strip the Unidentified Flying Objects of the special status they have been given and the aura of mystery they have unfortunately acquired…”This is precisely the goal of AARO and the reclassification of UFO to UAP, which relates to the next line from the 1953 report: “The Panel's concept of a broad educational program integrating efforts of all concerned agencies was that it should have two major aims: training and ‘debunking'.”It says that the, “basis of such education would be actual case histories which had been puzzling at first but later explained... Recent cases are probably much more susceptible to explanation than older ones; first, because of ATIC's experience and, secondly, their knowledge of most plausible explanations.”And this is why the Tic Tac has been so popular; the story is old enough to remain distant from proper investigation, but new enough to provoke interest. With the declaration by Ross Coulthart that the object is Lockheed Martin technology, the UAP movement has fulfilled the 1953 agenda. A recent case with a history, at first seen as puzzling but then later explained. The 1953 report further suggested employing psychologists, including Dr. Hadley Cantril, who wrote the study of the panic that followed the Orson Welles WOW broadcast in 1938, a story that took place in the area where the recent New Jersey drone sightings also occurred. When the Pentagon's UFO Mythology script was leaked in 2025, coupled with the AARO discovery that the USAF gave fake classified material to commanders, it became clear that all the congressional investigations were nothing short of a ruse. The discrediting of the whistleblowers did not so much discredit them as it did the role they served. The 2025 Pentagon UAP report reinforced these revelations. The narrative circle is complete. People got too close to UFOs 75 years ago, so the military and intelligence communities intervened to spread dis and mis information, and also to cover up their own programs. The narrative has been re-introduced in 2017 so that it can be misdirected again.Following this up is the revelation of a black goo substance found by a ship captain in Ohio. Is it in anyway related to the Sukunaarchaeum Mirabile (Sukuna-biko-na)? Analysis indicates that it contains “20 DNA sequences,” one of which was completely novel. In the X Files this is the vehicle for an alien virus; in Alien, including Prometheus, it is the life force of the xenomorph and what created mankind; in Venom it is an alien parasite; in District 9 it is a alien bio-agent; in Lucy it represents the merging of consciousness with machines; in Event Horizon it is a portal to hell. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

The CIA spent decades experimenting with psychic spies who could remotely view enemy secrets, and creating mind control programs that may have created assassins. The chilling possibility is that these programs never really ended.Join the DARKNESS SYNDICATE: https://weirddarkness.com/syndicateIN THIS EPISODE: It was kept secret for years that the U.S. government spent millions of dollars and decades of research and experiments looking into the paranormal, trying to weaponize psychic powers like remote viewing and mind control. We were told they didn't find much success – but could that be part of an ongoing secret? What if they did succeed, but don't want us to know due to “national security” reasons? And what if they aren't just spying on our enemies, but also on us, the country's citizens? And if they can do that… can they also control our minds to make us think and do whatever they wish? It's a disturbing journey. ABOUT WEIRD DARKNESS: Weird Darkness is a true crime and paranormal podcast narrated by professional award-winning voice actor, Darren Marlar.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military reporter Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. To begin the program we discuss the current status of IDF operations in the Gaza Strip and then turn to two deadly incidents this week. In the first discussed event, we learn that Master Sgt. (res.) Abraham Azulay, 25, was killed during an abduction attempt by terrorists who also attempted to snatch his body in the southern Gaza Strip. On Monday night, five Israeli soldiers were killed and 14 were wounded by roadside bombs in Beit Hanoun in the northern Gaza Strip. The slain soldiers were named as: Staff Sgt. Meir Shimon Amar, 20, from Jerusalem; Sgt. Moshe Nissim Frech, 20, from Jerusalem; Staff Sgt. Noam Aharon Musgadian, 20, from Jerusalem; Staff Sgt. Moshe Shmuel Noll, 21, from Beit Shemesh; and Sgt. First Class (res.) Benyamin Asulin, 28, from Haifa. We learn about this deadly attack and discuss the significance of both attacks -- regarding Hamas's continued battle-readiness and the IDF's vigilance. Turning to the north, on Tuesday, the IDF said it killed a “key Hamas terrorist” in a strike in Lebanon's Tripoli, naming him as Mehran Mustafa Bajur, a prominent Hamas commander. We learn about this strike, as well as ground operations inside southern Lebanon where troops raided several sites, destroying Hezbollah weapon depots and other infrastructure. Twice earlier in the week, the IDF carried out overnight raids in southern Syria, where forces captured a cell of operatives operating on behalf of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. Fabian weighs in on the power vacuum left in this part of Israel's border with the new Syrian regime. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

The world’s militaries are incredibly polluting, collectively accounting for some 5.5% of global emissions. Western economies are now gearing up for a big expansion of their militaries, with members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) agreeing to increase defense spending to 5% of their gross domestic product by 2035. That will commit trillions of dollars more to an enormously carbon intensive industry, unless militaries can find a way to reduce their emissions.

Send us a textThe Ones Ready crew is back with a blistering Daily Drop that reads like a classified briefing laced with caffeine and outrage. Jared goes scorched-earth on the U.S. finally banning Chinese farmland buys (spoiler: it's 2025 and somehow this wasn't already illegal). Meanwhile, the Army wants to quadruple Patriot missiles—because what's deterrence without volume? The Air Force still can't decide if the F-15EX should have a roommate. Space Force gets a budget bump, but bureaucratic gatekeepers still cling to outdated classification nonsense like it's a Cold War cosplay. And don't worry, the KC-46 is still a flying contradiction—does it even have SATCOM?Oh, and if you're still here: Nashville. October. OTS. Let's go.

Dusty Shultz is a highly accomplished senior military leader, renowned for her expertise in Army Cyber, Intelligence, and Space operations both in the U.S. and Latin America. Throughout her distinguished career, she has often been hand-picked for key leadership roles supporting the Department of Defense. In these roles, Dusty has developed strategic solutions to complex challenges, drawing on her extensive experience in international collaboration to achieve equitable outcomes. After years of dedicated government service, Dusty retired (2025) from her final role as Director of Intelligence at U.S. Southern Command. She holds multiple degrees in strategy and is committed to lifelong learning. Outside of her professional endeavors, she enjoys spending time with her husband, David, their two children, and five grandchildren. Her hobbies include cooking and equestrian activities. “On one assignment an Admiral said to me, ‘You've got the skills. You are going to do this. I'm going to advocate for you, and I'm going to also hold you accountable for doing it.' Having leaders like him has been fundamental. I do not want to receive anything because I'm entitled or special. I want to receive it because I have worked hard to get where I am and because my skills are better than my peers'. “I laugh when I think of my first day with my first unit. It was a field artillery drill sergeant unit, and when I walked in, they literally looked at me and, although they were polite, they directly said something like, ‘Where's Dustin?' “I am Dustin.' “ ‘No. Where's the male, Dustin?' ‘Oh my gosh. I am the female Dustin. Here are the orders.' They didn't even have female restrooms. “So I went all the way from that to eventually taking a battalion to Iraq, where over one-third of the organization was females. Almost all of my seniors, minus my command Sergeant Major, were females. My XO's name was Hollis. My name was Dustin. So people always deferred to the fact that we were men. And then they would be shocked when we'd show up. We responded that we're fit, we're prepared, we're capable. We're going to do our job and we're going to do it well. And then we'd do just that.”

Even casual observers of the military will notice the unique ways that service members use language. With all of the acronyms and jargon, some even argue that membership in the military requires learning a whole language. But rather than treat military-specific language as a cultural difference of the institution or a technical requirement for the job, Dr. Janet McIntosh examines how military language works to enable its members to both kill and imagine themselves as killable. In her book Kill Talk: Language and Military Necropolitics (Oxford UP, 2025), Dr. McIntosh explores how language is used first in military training to "toughen up" recruits; during combat overseas as a way to cope with death and killing; and then how this language is unlearned and repackaged by antiwar veterans as part of their own personal demilitarization. Janet McIntosh is a linguistic and sociocultural anthropologist and Professor of Anthropology at Brandeis University. She has received numerous awards of her previous work, including the Clifford Geertz Prize in the anthropology of religion, Honorable Mention in the Victor Turner Prize in Ethnographic Writing, and an Honorable Mention in the American Ethnological Society Book Prize. Her current work has been supported through grants from the American Council of Learned Societies and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Quang Pham went from being a 10-year-old refugee airlifted out of Vietnam to becoming a Marine pilot, and the CEO of a NASDAQ-listed biotech company. In this conversation, he shares the exact lessons that guided each transition.   Key insight: On decision-making: “As a young officer, we were taught to make decisions… there's not enough time to consult with everybody. You gotta make a decision to keep moving and then adjust along the way.” This became his foundational leadership principle across sectors. On capital discipline: “In the private sector and entrepreneurial world, resources are scarce… you have to treat it with the utmost respect and spend it wisely.” Military spending habits do not translate to startups. On performance and promotion: “You work hard, but you have to produce results.” Early in his corporate career, he assumed promotions would come automatically. They did not. On defining success: “You have to follow and pursue what makes you happy. Not what your family or your culture or society wants.” As a Vietnamese refugee, choosing the military was going against all cultural expectations. On raising capital without pedigree: “I lacked the skills to present to venture capitalists… so I spent a lot of time at Toastmasters picking up new speaking skills.” Within 90 days of leaving his corporate job, he secured venture funding as a first-time CEO. On pitch strategy: “You have to get to the key points… in the first seven or ten minutes, if not sooner.” Investors have limited attention. He focused his pitch on buyer, payment frequency, and execution, not theoretical market size. On cold outreach: “It was just three sentences. Who I was, what my company did, something about our common [background].” This approach led to two successful VC rounds. On leadership transitions: “I knew that I had the skills and the backing and that the baton had to be passed… the company flourished and I was then just a shareholder.” Founders must be willing to step aside to scale. On AI and decision-making: “There is somebody making decisions for AI, the decision to use AI, the decision to pay for AI… at the end of the day, we still need entrepreneurs and leaders.” This episode offers practical reflections for those navigating leadership transitions, capital formation, and decision-making in complex, resource-constrained settings.   Get Quang's new book here: https://quangxpham.com/   Here are some free gifts for you:   Overall Approach Used in Well-Managed Strategy Studies free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/OverallApproach   McKinsey & BCG winning resume free download: www.firmsconsulting.com/resumepdf   Enjoying this episode?

I'm thrilled to welcome Clayton Quamme to today's episode of Military to Financial Planner! Clayton shares his fascinating career journey, starting with an unexpected gift—a personal finance book from his mom—back when he was 16. It sparked his lifelong passion for personal finance and wealth-building. From his time in Army ROTC to an influential moment in college that solidified his career path, Clayton recounts how these early experiences shaped his focus on becoming a Certified Financial Planner™. Clayton's story is all about intentional career pivots—often stepping backward financially to move forward strategically, gaining essential skills and expertise along the way. Throughout our conversation, Clayton provides incredible transparency. He details salary expectations at different stages of his career, from his initial struggles transitioning from active duty, taking a significant pay cut, balancing numbers as the family's primary income-earner, to becoming a partner at a successful RIA managing over $300 million. Come prepared to hear about the practical realities of financial planning careers, salary expectations, and what transitioning service members can anticipate as they navigate this exciting yet challenging profession. If you're coming out of a military background and wondering how to break into financial planning, Clayton shares helpful resources, thoughtful insights, and actionable advice born from personal experience. Clayton's journey illustrates that sometimes progress isn't linear, but every step backward can position you for greater growth and success ahead.  https://www.linkedin.com/in/claytonquamme/ The Automatic Millionaire by David Bach https://davidbach.com/books/the-automatic-millionaire/ The Millionaire Next Door https://www.themillionairenextdoor.com/
