In 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The events that transpired during their 2015 workup cycle brought us the first-ever declassified footage of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP)and the New York Times article titled: “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program.” Subsequently, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C. where he began to have frequent, and often intense, personal experiences with the phenomenon.He discovered through a long, painful, and terrifying journey that the truth of the phenomenon has deep and profound implications for the future of the human race. It may seem like a bold statement but the ultimate universal truth that underlies the phenomenon is captured in the simple yet eloquent words of Mark Twain, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08P9MSQYD https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcastMy book 'Verified Near Death Exeriences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP
Beginning with the revelations that arose in a now famous 2017 New York Times article titled “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program”, and further brought to light with the allegations made by former military insiders like Luis Elizondo and David Grusch, the general public is being slowly acclimated to a reality that those of us who are part of this community have long known to be the case: non-human intelligences and their technological marvels have been (and continue to be) in our very midst. Still, for those of us who regularly dive deep into these murky (but often exhilarating) waters, we know that these revelations - as startling as they are to the average Joe and Jane on the street - are really just the beginning. And that's because, simply put, there are numerous elements of human experience that simply don't play well with the prevailing paradigm that rules in Western civilization - at least at present. These elements include out of body experiences, near death experiences, psi phenomena, synchronicity, contact with supposed deceased loved ones, and time slippages. And that's just for starters. Not only do these elements that have historically been forced to the fringes of polite conversation stretch the mainstream's understanding of what's possible, they also call into question the very maps we've so confidently crafted to make sense of what's real altogether. For instance, when it comes to the matter of dealing with sophisticated, apparently non-human intelligences (ie. aliens), not only do we have the matter of the DoD allegedly housing the recovered craft and even the cadavers of non-human life forms - life forms that are decidedly biological, just like us - also on the table are the credible accounts of a host of other kind of non-conventional encounters. Truth be told, there is a considerable body of data pointing to encounters with beings that are better described as ethereal, though - importantly - no less “real”. These beings are described by people from different walks of life in such consistent ways that they seem to claim just as much “real” and independent existence as we do. Other life forms that people encounter are perhaps better described as quasi-physical, and still others seem to navigate between these different domains like we might move between different rooms of a house. Furthermore, human beings sometimes find themselves acting outside of their own bodies - and even outside of this 3D “physical” construct altogether - interacting with alien beings of various sorts and sometimes even with their own supposedly deceased loved ones in the process. The beings encountered also seem capable of moving human consciousness in ways that sometimes include the physical body, and other times do not. In short, what's being highlighted here is the untenable nature of the physicalist paradigm altogether. But all this being the case, how are we to proceed? If our modern maps have been exposed as - at best - approximations reflecting only one tiny corner of a much more expansive territory, how are we to make our way forward? And how can we reconcile the seemingly illusory boundaries between the living and the dead, sleep and waking states, and physical and ethereal realms? This all amounts to some pretty ambitious inquiry. But these are exactly the matters that we'll seek to engage with in this the 104th episode of the Point of Convergence podcast.
For today's episode, I had the honor and the privilege of sitting down with someone who has been the driving force behind some of the most important breakthroughs in the UFO disclosure movement, journalist and author Leslie Kean.Along with journalists Ralph Blumenthal and Helene Cooper, Kean is responsible for the now historic 2017 article in The New York Times entitled Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program that first revealed the existence of that program to the public. And in June of 2023, she teamed up with Ralph Blumenthal once again for another history-making piece in The Debrief about the stunning claims made by high-ranking intelligence official-turned-whistleblower. David Grusch, about the existence of secretive crash retrieval programs that are in possession of craft of non-human origin. Just those two articles alone are enough to earn her an unchallenged spot on the Mount Rushmore of disclosure, but they hardly represent the totality of her work in the field. On top of writing countless articles, Leslie is also the author of the book UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record as well as the book Surviving Death: A Journalist Investigates Evidence for an Afterlife. `I'll have all of that and more linked up in the episode description so you can check it out.Later this week on December 9th, Leslie will be co-hosting the fourth meeting of the Inquiry Into Anomalous Experience and the Phenomenon conference series in New York City alongside organizer Jay Christopher King and James Iandoli. Speakers include Diana Walsh Pasulka, Tim Gallaudet, Michael Masters, Paul H. Smith, Peter Skafish, and Josh Cutchin.

Matthew Roberts, a former US Naval service member. Back in 2015, Matthew was stationed aboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt, where a series of extraordinary events during their workup cycle led to the declassification of astonishing UAP footage. You may recall it from the New York Times article titled "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program." But that's just the beginning of Matthew's remarkable story. Following his time on the USS Theodore Roosevelt, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C., where his personal experiences with the UAP phenomenon became frequent and intense. His journey to uncover the truth behind this enigma was long, painful, and often terrifying. In this special episode of UAP STUDIES PODCAST, we explore the profound implications of the UAP phenomenon for the future of humanity. As Mark Twain once said, "The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why." Discover the ultimate universal truth that underlies this phenomenon and its potential impact on the destiny of our species.

In December 2017, the New York Times published a ground-breaking article titled “Glowing Auras and Black Money: The Pentagon's Mysterious UFO Program.” The report was noteworthy not only for what it brought to light about the earnest government/military study of the UAP phenomenon but also that such a storied and seemingly no-nonsense newspaper like the New York Times finally took the subject seriously as well. We followed up in January 2018 with a two-part episode called “Imminent Disclosure?” The question mark on the title indicated we weren't sure when FULL disclosure would arrive, but drips and drops of astounding revelations were indeed on the horizon. Five and a half years later, since that watershed coverage made a splash, two of its original journalists, Ralph Blumenthal and Leslie Kean, have done it again. On June 5th, 2003, they published an article about a former intelligence official and whistleblower named David Grusch. That article is called “Intelligence Officials Say US Has Retrieved Craft of Non-human Origin.” The title alone should speak to the world-changing implications. Because this story needed daylight quickly, it was published on an independent news website called TheDebrief.org. As it turns out, our good friend and colleague, Micah Hanks, also co-founded that news organization. Thanks to Micah, we were fortunate to be granted an interview with Ralph Blumenthal to get the story behind the story. Following our discussion, we'll hear from Micah, the Editor in Chief at The Debrief, and Chrissy Newton, their head of Media Relations and a long-time podcaster herself, to consider where we all go from here. Visit our website for a lot more information on this episode.
David sits down with prominent investigative journalist Leslie Kean, who earlier this month published a blockbuster report about a potential secret government UFO effort. According to Kean and her co-author, a former U.S. intelligence official-turned-whistleblower recently gave Congress classified information about covert programs that he says possess intact and partially intact aircraft of non-human origin.Kean has become known for her diligent reporting on UFOs (they're now officially called “unidentified anomalous phenomena,” or UAP) and how the government is hiding information about them from the public. David and Leslie dig into her new story as well as the long history of UFO sightings and official obfuscation: What does the government know? How long have they known it? And why aren't they telling us?

On episode 312 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan regretfully shares that due to a recent injury, he was unable to bring you a brand-new episode this week. BUT... this episode will be a rebroadcast of a fascinating conversation with Leslie Kean and Diana Walsh Pasulka!Leslie Kean is the author of the New York Times Best-Selling book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record. She also co-authored the 2017 bombshell New York Times article, Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program. This article immediately went viral and showed the world that the Pentagon, against all public knowledge and statements, were investigating UFOs. Diana Walsh Pasulka, a professor of religious studies, is the author of the groundbreaking book, American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology, which follows several high tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley who are deeply entrenched in the UFO topic and are spending a lot of time and money investigating the Phenomenon. The book also shows how the topic is gradually becoming a new age religion as more and more people start to believe in an extraterrestrial presence both in our skies and possibly on our planet. In this episode, Leslie and Diana dig deep in to the hard questions and the fundamental shift in our way of thinking when it comes to UFOs.

This week, we're taking time off for the holidays - so we reached into the Chatter archives for one of our favorite shows from the last year. In this episode, Shane Harris sits down with veteran journalist Leslie Kean, who has done groundbreaking and widely admired reporting on unidentified flying objects. And, no, that does not mean aliens. Kean's bestselling 2010 book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, was a sober account of credible, first-hand witnesses to unexplained aerial phenomena. In 2017, Kean co-authored a major New York Times article that revealed a secret Pentagon effort devoted to the study of UFOs. More recently, the U.S. government has begun to standardize UFO reporting by military personnel and has declassified more information about what it knows about strange objects in the sky. Kean's reporting played a significant role in those disclosures. Kean discusses her early career as a journalist, her travels in Burma, and her interest in Buddhism. She talks about the important questions that remain about UFOs, and what the U.S. government may be on the cusp of answering. Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo. This episode was produced and edited by Cara Shillenn of Goat Rodeo. Podcast theme by David Priess, featuring music created using Groovepad.Among the works cited in this episode are:Leslie Kean's website: https://www.lesliekean.com/ UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/114166/leslie-kean/ "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O.

"Really? You wanna be the UFO guy?" Yeah, actually, I do! Because I think most people don't understand that since 2017 there has been a rapid increase in astonishing information about UFOs. From the 2017 New York Times article disclosing the existence of a secret Pentagon UFO program, to the release of confirmed Navy videos of UFOs, to Congress demanding an annual report about what the military knows about UFOs, to the recent proposal to grant immunity to UFO program whistleblowers — there's been a LOT! When I was growing up, UFOs were treated as a joke. News reports would include the X-Files theme, and anyone talking about the subject seriously would get teased about "little green men." But that seems to be changing. More and more, the topic is taken seriously. And the thing is, once you accept, as Congress and the Pentagon seem to have, that there are unidentified craft flying around the sky… what else is real? If it's true? It's a very exciting time!

In January, n+1 Books released Missing Time, the debut essay collection by Senior Editor Ari M. Brostoff, which includes pieces originally published in Jewish Currents, n+1, and elsewhere. The titular essay reads Brostoff's preteen passion for the supernatural police procedural The X-Files alongside their nascent political consciousness, as they became a young communist (and then ex-communist). Tracing the relationship between the original run and the 2016 and 2018 reboots, the piece considers the gap between two recent historical epochs, when history seemed to stall and then sputter back to life. In the years since the essay's initial publication and the show's conclusion, more and more evidence of real-life UFOs has come to light, with the US government admitting last year that it can't account for these phenomena—or rule out extraterrestrial explanations. To celebrate the release of their book, Brostoff spoke with Editor-in-Chief Arielle Angel and Managing Editor Nathan Goldman—two recently converted X-Files fanatics—about the show's political potential, the nature of belief, and whether aliens are real.

Episode 3 of Paranormal Stories. As you may know I produce two podcasts, the past lives podcast and the Alien UFO Podcast and it is here that I combine the two.When I have a guests on my podcasts I read their books to research and work out questions for the episodes.When reading these books I always find such fascinating information which never makes it into the podcast and here I get a chance to give you a peek into the book.I did seek permission to do this and the authors kindly said yes. This week the books are 'Soul Afterlife: Beyond the Near-Death Experience' by Bud Megargee. And Initiation by Matt Roberts.Soul Afterlife: Beyond the Near-Death ExperienceSince the dawn of time, human beings have asked the seemingly unanswerable question: what happens when we die? And saints and sages throughout the ages have given their interpretation of what awaits us on the other side. But few have taken this inquiry as far as Bud Megargee, a corporate-executive-turned-soul-explorer whose latest book explores in exquisite detail the mechanics of what happens to our souls before, during, and after our lives on earth.Megargee's questioning started decades ago as a psychology grad student when he found himself listening to a man in a hospital bed describe his near-death experience. The story was powerful enough to make Bud— who was raised Catholic and later became a practicing Buddhist— consider the existence of a soul and thus, an afterlife.Driven by extreme curiosity and his growing belief that we are more than what we can imagine, Bud began searching for answers.He found them, and then shared his discoveries with the world through his books.From the award-winning author of five unconventional spiritual memoirs comes Megargee's latest book in the series, Soul Afterlife: Beyond the Near Death Experience. Through a series of dialogues with "a voice from the beyond", we bear witness to his thought-provoking questions, the detailed and unorthodox answers he receives, and his attempt to come to terms with them. The book tosses conventional understanding of what happens when we die to the wayside to tackle tough questions about the near-death experiences so many have witnessed and lived to tell:What exactly does the soul think, feel and experience once it's through the spinning tunnel?How long does it stay there?Does it undergo a life review of sorts?Where exactly does the tunnel lead?Is reincarnation next and, if so, how does it work?Each conversation is detailed and complex, but through our guide's capable telling of this otherworldly life of the soul, we are free to grasp onto as much as our egos dare to allow. Megargee makes no pretenses and is quick to point out his own skepticism, but it's that rare sense of honest uncertainty from a corporate-executive-turned-spiritual-voyager that is so refreshing for anyone who remains open-minded and curious about what comes next.https://www.amazon.com/Soul-Afterlife-Beyond-Near-Death-Experience-ebook/dp/B085GM3HNP/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1645871095&sr=8-1https://budmegargee.com/Initiated: UAP, Dreams, Depression, Delusions, Shadow People, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, and PandemicsIn 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Lue Elizondo is the former Senior Counterintelligence Officer for the Department of Defense, and ex-Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Being primarily focused on secretive investigations of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena ( UAPs ) more commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects ( UFOs ) the classified program first garnered the attention of the public on December 16, 2017, when the world was stunned by an article published by the NY Times publication entitled "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money'. The program was initiated in 2007, with an approved budget of $22 million to be used until 2012 when the program would either cease, or request further budget appropriations. The Department of Defense reported that the program indeed ended in 2012 after a working period of 5 years. Since leaving the AATIP program, Mr. Elizondo has made it a personal crusade to get over many obstacles and hurdles in order to pursue continued research and investigations into the mystery of the UFOs that have buzzed US Navy Carrier Strike groups around the world, flown with impunity into restricted air space, interacted with sensitive National Defense assets, and traversed trans-medium environments such as Space, the Oceans, and the Skies around the globe. Mr. Elizondo began working with an organization founded in 2011 by the musician Tom DeLonge of the music band Blink-182, known as "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science" where he was joined by other high ranking ex-Government consultants and officials, such as Dr. Hal Puthoff, who directed a CIA/DIA-funded program at SRI International to investigate paranormal abilities, and Chris Mellon, who was the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and George W. Bush Administrations, and later in a capacity for Security and Information Operations, and also formerly served as the Staff Director of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. In late 2020 it was reported that Mr. Elizondo and several others had parted company with "TTSA" in order to further pursue their own avenues of UFO Investigations. Shifting the Paradigm is a weekly Talk Show with guests from a wide variety of specialized fields of research related to the Paranormal - the Supernatural - the Unexplained - UAP / UFOs - Aliens - and the Mysterious.
This week, Shane Harris talks with veteran journalist Leslie Kean, who has done groundbreaking and widely admired reporting on unidentified flying objects. And, no, that does not mean aliens. Kean's bestselling 2010 book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record, was a sober account of credible, first-hand witnesses to unexplained aerial phenomena. In 2017, Kean co-authored a major New York Times article that revealed a secret Pentagon effort devoted to the study of UFOs. More recently, the U.S. government has begun to standardize UFO reporting by military personnel and has declassified more information about what it knows about strange objects in the sky. Kean's reporting played a significant role in those disclosures. Kean discusses her early career as a journalist, her travels in Burma, and her interest in Buddhism. She talks about the important questions that remain about UFOs, and what the U.S. government may be on the cusp of answering. Chatter is a production of Lawfare and Goat Rodeo.

Pentagon footage and entities. This week I am talking to Matthew Roberts about his book 'Initiated: UAP, Dreams, Depression, Delusions, Shadow People, Psychosis, Sleep Paralysis, and Pandemics'. In 2015, Matthew Roberts was a US Naval service member stationed onboard the USS Theodore Roosevelt. The events that transpired during their 2015 workup cycle brought us the first-ever declassified footage of unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP)and the New York Times article titled: “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money': The Pentagon's Mysterious U.F.O. Program.” Subsequently, he transferred to the Office of Naval Intelligence in Washington D.C. where he began to have frequent, and often intense, personal experiences with the phenomenon. He discovered through a long, painful, and terrifying journey that the truth of the phenomenon has deep and profound implications for the future of the human race. It may seem like a bold statement but the ultimate universal truth that underlies the phenomenon is captured in the simple yet eloquent words of Mark Twain, “The two most important days in your life are the day you are born, and the day you find out why.”https://www.amazon.com/Initiated-Depression-Delusions-Psychosis-Paralysis-ebook/dp/B08P9MSQYD/ref=tmm_kin_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1642242548&sr=8-1https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-alien-ufo-podcasthttp://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/alienufopodcast

Other topics discussed include the sudden silence in mainstream media in regards to UFOs / UAPs reports and discussions, as well as the origin of the source of the UFO / UAP intelligence and what the future holds for disclosure efforts and UFO truth and transparency. Lue Elizondo is the former Senior Counterintelligence Officer for the Department of Defense, and ex-Director of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Being primarily focused on secretive investigations of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena ( UAPs ) more commonly known as Unidentified Flying Objects ( UFOs ) the classified program first garnered the attention of the public on December 16, 2017, when the world was stunned by an article published by the NY Times publication entitled "Glowing Auras and 'Black Money'. The program was initiated in 2007, with an approved budget of $22 million to be used until 2012 when the program would either cease, or request further budget appropriations. The Department of Defense reported that the program indeed ended in 2012 after a working period of 5 years. Since leaving the AATIP program, Mr. Elizondo has made it a personal crusade to get over many obstacles and hurdles in order to pursue continued research and investigations into the mystery of the UFOs that have buzzed US Navy Carrier Strike groups around the world, flown with impunity into restricted air space, interacted with sensitive National Defense assets, and traversed trans-medium environments such as Space, the Oceans, and the Skies around the globe. Mr. Elizondo began working with an organization founded in 2011 by the musician Tom DeLonge of the music band Blink-182, known as "To The Stars Academy of Arts & Science" where he was joined by other high ranking ex-Government consultants and officials, such as Dr. Hal Puthoff, who directed a CIA/DIA-funded program at SRI International to investigate paranormal abilities, and Chris Mellon, who was the former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence in the Clinton and George W. Bush Administrations, and later in a capacity for Security and Information Operations, and also formerly served as the Staff Director of the United States Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. In late 2020 it was reported that Mr. Elizondo and several others had parted company with "TTSA" in order to further pursue their own avenues of UFO Investigations.
Opinion Piece By Rob Kennedy 9.06.21 Close examination of information currently being circulated by the media regarding UFOs reveals more about a system of information control, than evidence of alien life. The avalanche of media reports from ‘60 minutes special on UFOs' to the 2017 New York Times' article entitled ‘Glowing Auras and Black Money' is hard to grasp. What is clear is that the subject has snowballed since the advent of mass media and is here to stay. Eyewitness reports have multiplied and fed voracious media machines from all corners of the world. Contrary to belief, this is not exclusively an American phenomenon. Last year, Irish citizens witnessed more sightings than any other country in Europe. In 2018, a number of experienced commercial airline pilots reported a perplexing event recorded by Shannon air traffic control which left the public with more questions than answers. What is going on? Are government agencies really being transparent? What are we to understand from the developments in America? Are those blurry UAP videos real? What is this June UAP report all about? And crucially, who and what should you believe? I've been following the story since 2017, and I'll try to make sense of it. First, some context and like everything UFO, we must start in America. The reason is, America's military, political and media infrastructure offer more relative transparency than any other country in the world. Here in Ireland, the alphabet soup of US agencies, intelligence committees and military programs can often seem like actors from a Hollywood sci-fi film, but the characters and developments shaping the story are very real. Since the 1950s, there have been elevated levels of UFO reports. UFO enthusiasts attribute the birth of nuclear technology to this increased activity, but mass media has surely played its part by including opportunistic sensationalism, mixed with rumour, sprinkled with fact. With these sightings comes a fantastical expectancy of a better world where new forms of technology transform our economies, a window to an interstellar world is opened for us to gaze through, and where humans start relating to the planet and each other with increased civility. The sheer quantity of reports, experiences and commonalities from the public indicate to ‘believers' that governments must know something and are wilfully denying public access to information. From this fervour has grown a movement, known as disclosure, that tries to lobby governments for UFO transparency. It seems that this movement is gathering momentum. High profile figures have commented on the subject from past intelligence directors such as John Ratcliffe and James Brennan to former President Obama who on a late-night chat show said: "There's footage and records of objects in the skies, that we don't know exactly what they are. We can't explain how they moved, their trajectory. They did not have an easily explainable pattern. And so … people still take (it) seriously, trying to investigate and figure out what that is." Obama has contributed to moving the needle on the topic, but he was The President for eight years and yet, did not uncover any x-files. UAP report request part of COVID bill In August, the Defense Department announced the establishment of a "UAP Task Force" to "detect, analyze and catalog … incursions by unauthorized aircraft into our training ranges or designated airspace (including) examinations of incursions that are initially reported as UAP when the observer cannot immediately identify what he or she is observing." This was then followed by a request by Congress to produce a report, which is due this month, to inform the public and law makers alike of the findings of the UAP task force. American politicians were pushed into this course of action by a series of videos leaked from inside the Defense Department that purport to show unidentified craft behaving in inexplicable patterns. These videos have been widely circulated and have become known as the ‘tic-tac', ‘go fast' and ‘gimbal' videos. They have been subsequently followed by other videos taken aboard US aircraft carriers that are equally mysterious. Politicians have been quick to seize on the story and frame it as a national security issue. “Anything that enters an airspace that's not supposed to be there is a threat,” said Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla. who ordered the report as chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and has been a vocal inquisitor of incursions into protected airspace. In tandem with these videos, came testimony to Congress from Navy and Airforce pilots who say they have encountered and interacted with UFOs. Commander David Fravor, a top gun graduate, has gone onto multiple popular media platforms and talked freely about his experience. "I can tell you, I think it was not from this world," Fravor told ABC News. "I'm not crazy, haven't been drinking. It was — after 18 years of flying, I've seen pretty much about everything that I can see in that realm, and this was nothing close." It is worth remembering that Commander Fravor saw this object, but never recorded it with the instrumentation on his super hornet F-18. It is here I would like to make a distinction. The videos that were released have not been publicly confirmed as anything other than unidentified by the Department of Defense. In addition, the pilots that recorded these videos have not been as forthcoming in support of their videos, as Commander Fravor of his experience. Debunkers have rightly questioned the veracity of the videos and offered more earthly and mundane explanations, which begs the question – who should you believe? Access to Information I taught in the Middle East for many years where cultural and religious barriers meant ideas were accepted based on whether they challenged society's power structures, in which every citizen had a vested interest. Discussing human evolution with fellow lecturers from the region was always interesting as I was openly mocked for suggesting that humans were not created from ribs and dust. In a similar manner, global institutions may have to be rethought and restructured if their ideas are successfully challenged. Religious, governmental, and military bodies, who have insisted on a controlled narrative since their inception, would suffer a loss of public faith if contradictory information ever came to light, and they knowingly hid it. However, in a masochistic slap in the face, it is exactly these institutions that people look to for validation. These power structures hold the information, influence, and power to change public understanding of the issue. But why would they offer disclosure if it would result in loss of faith placed in them by society? Surely, it would cause a self-inflicting wound? The UAP report may be able to add clarity. They could release the radar information that accompanies pilot interactions. According to Kevin Day who operated the radar systems on the Nimitz in 2004 where commander Fravor interacted with the TicTac UFO, “objects fell out of the sky from 28,000 feet down to the surface of the ocean in less than one second…….no sonic booms”. So, let's see the data. Release to the public, all the radar data related to the hundreds of interactions reported by military personnel. Better still, open all the data available from other potential sources of possible UFO information collection systems such as NORAD, The Joint Surveillance System, The Space Based Infrared System, The U.S. Space Surveillance Network and The Global Infrasound Acoustic Monitoring Network. Working together, these organisations could put this debate to bed and end the outcry for disclosure once and for all. Of course, this is not going to happen. So, what are we left with? Research has found that eyewitness-identification testimony can be very unreliable. Memory, visual perception, and bias can warp interpretation. In courtrooms across the world, human testimony is used to identify and incarcerate perpetrators of crime, sometimes wrongfully. UFO sightings are, more often than not, explained by balloons, birds, satellites and a myriad of atmospheric conditions. However, we cannot discount human testimony altogether. It is important. We must hear people's stories. What is interesting is that thousands of people have reported commonalities in their sightings. The stories share common themes, interactions and leave similar impressions. From Westhall in Australia and Ariel in Zimbabwe where school children and staff witnessed saucer shaped craft, to Roscommon and Wexford where witnesses reported lights zigzagging across the night sky at tremendous speeds, testimony has value. It is this testimony from ordinary people that often prove more consistent and credible than the tampered reports and releases from institutional power structures. Some of these stories are extraordinary and seem so outlandish as to be ridiculous. Attention seekers and opportunists exist in all walks of life and scepticism is an important tool which shouldn't be abandoned. However, most members of the public that come forward risk ridicule, mockery, and alienation. They come forward, not because they have something to gain, in contrast, they have lots to lose. It takes a certain bravery to stand up and speak about controversial subjects that challenge people's established worldview and speak to power. In the same fashion we have shown empathy to other movements that impact people, we must extend understanding to those that claim to have witnessed UFOs. Only when that is done, can we decide who to believe. Irish UFO Gathering Ireland 2021 is taking place on the 13th and 14th of August.

In this episode, Michelle and Joe interview Ralph Blumenthal, 45-year New York Times contributor and author of The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack (which inspired one of our more popular recent blogs). They talk about John Mack: legendary Harvard professor who did breathwork with Stan Grof at Esalen and became interested in the mystery of alien abduction, which led him to write 2 bestselling books, appear on Oprah (who is probably an alien*), become a pioneer in the world of alien abductions, and die while immersed in afterlife studies, only to reportedly visit friends later on. Mack's notoriety came from trusting the stories he was hearing, trying to help people make sense of it all, and taking a big interest in how these experiences seemed to transform so many of the abductees. Sounds a lot like powerful psychedelic experiences and integration work leading towards growth, doesn't it? So sit back, pause that X-Files episode, light one up on this high holiday, and get really deep into the world of aliens. Learn about the government's secret Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, the Ariel school incident, Avi Loeb’s Oumuamua theory, out-of-body experiences, shapeshifters, and more! Ponder how Blumenthal "accidentally" leaves questions unanswered about the government experimenting with DMT as a way of communicating with aliens. Contemplate why the government is suddenly so forthcoming with UFO data. Think about how today is 420 and this is episode 240... The truth is out there, folks. *This viewpoint is not that of Psychedelics Today, but merely of this high Show Notes writer. Notable Quotes On Mack doing breathwork with Stan Grof: “He was awakened to a different world, a spiritual world, a world of other realities than the one he was familiar with, and as I say in my book, he said, ‘Stan Grof opened up my psyche and the UFOs flew in.’” “It’s no spoiler to say that my book does not provide the answer to the mystery of alien abduction, and I acknowledge that. I shed some light on it, perhaps, and what I like to say is that at least I’m comfortable saying that I know what it isn’t. It’s not mental illness, it’s not hoaxes (by and large), it’s not fabrication, it’s not the delusion of crowds. It’s something else. It’s something that is very real to a lot of people from different walks of life [and] different ages, and there really is no good explanation for what has happened to these people.” “What do you say about the 2-year old children who tell these stories? You know, ‘Little man fly me up in the sky.’ ‘I go up in the sky.’ These 2-year-old kids: have they read UFO books? Are they influenced by UFO movies?” “Skeptics have not taken the time to read the literature. They don’t know the cases. So all they can do is say, ‘Ah, that’s ridiculous.’ Of course it’s ridiculous! We all agree it’s ridiculous. We all agree it’s not possible. ...We all agree that these stories that people are telling are not possible in our reality. They’re completely crazy. And yet, there’s no easy way to explain them away.” Links Ralphblumenthal.com The Believer: Alien Encounters, Hard Science, and the Passion of John Mack, by Ralph Blumenthal NYtimes.com: Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O.

In 2017, the New York Times featured the article "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program," which initiated a system reset for public perception of the UFO phenomenon. However, UFOs weren't always considered among the ranks of "all the news that's fit to print" as far as topics covered by "The Gray Lady," which has remained for decades an American "newspaper of record." What has caused the shifting attitudes toward UFOs over the years, and what role has the New York Times played in influencing that? This week on The Micah Hanks Program, we lead off in celebration of May the 4th, a favorite of Star Wars fans everywhere, before turning our attention to space news. Micah also recaps his recent appearance on Coast to Coast AM with researcher John Greenwald of The Black Vault to discuss the DoD's recent "official" release of UFO videos, before turning our attention to the history of media coverage of this subject, and the role newspapers like The New York Times have played in steering public perception of the UFO phenomenon.

On episode 150 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan welcomes first-time guest, Leslie Kean, and past guest, Diana Walsh Pasulka to the podcast. The UFO topic has gone mainstream like never before, and these two individuals were at the forefront of that huge cultural shift. Leslie Kean is the author of the New York Times Best-Selling book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record. She also co-authored the 2017 bombshell New York Times article, Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program. This article immediately went viral and showed the world that the Pentagon, against all public knowledge and statements, were investigating UFOs. Diana Walsh Pasulka, a professor of religious studies, is the author of the groundbreaking book, American Cosmic: UFOs, Religion, Technology, which follows several high tech entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley who are deeply entrenched in the UFO topic and are spending a lot of time and money investigating the Phenomenon. The book also shows how the topic is gradually becoming a new age religion as more and more people start to believe in an extraterrestrial presence both in our skies and possibly even here on our planet. In this episode, Leslie and Diana dig deep in to the hard questions and the fundamental shift in our way of thinking when it comes to flying saucers and an extraterrestrial presence.

Rerun from May 24, 2013, an exclusive first time interview on the subject of abduction with veteran investigative reporter, Ralph Blumenthal. Listen as the distinguished author and journalist discusses John Mack and his recent article in Vanity Fair: Alien Nation: Have Humans Been Abducted by Extraterrestrials? Ralph along with Leslie Kean & Helene Cooper authors of the groundbreaking NY Times article, Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program
Durante la primera hora, la Ciencia Ficción fue la sintonía que acompasó nuestras palabras, de la mano del escritor Francisco José Álvarez Socas. Nos resumirá los contenidos de alguna de sus obras, como la saga “La Esencia de La Misión" que reúne ya dos tomos, "El Comienzo” y "El Servicio de Inteligencia Democrático". Desde que aquella noticia lanzada por el New York Times en diciembre de 2017, cuyo titular anunciaba “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program”, “Auras Resplandecientes y “Dinero Negro”: El Misterioso Programa sobre OVNIs de El Pentágono”, innumerables han sido los titulares posteriores en otros tantos rotativos americanos. Desde su oscura financiación, hasta la duda razonable que ha recaído recientemente sobre la identidad de uno de sus dirigentes, Guillermo Sureda y Carlos Soriano, intentamos resumir qué está ocurriendo con este asunto. Cristo Torrabadella vuelve a ilustrarnos con la exposición de esta semana. Nos habla de un libro cuya autenticidad está aún en duda, pero que el propio Aleister Crowley se interesó en traducir: “Las 9 Puertas de Las Sombras”.
Episode 22: Unidentified Flying Observations – In this episode we speak with Ralph Blumenthal, contributing reporter to the New York Times December 16, 2017 front-page story “Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious UFO Program”. We also talk to Jan Harzan the Executive Director of the Mutual Unidentified Flying Object Network or MUFON and we speak with the mayor of Roswell, New Mexico, Dennis Kintigh.
Fade to Black Host Jimmy Church: “UFO Disclosure?

This week’s show, and show notes, are both longer than usual - but with very good reason! Hang on, it’s going to be a fun and occasionally wild ride... My guest today, for the first show in the Year of the Dog, is none other than internationally esteemed writer and lecturer Peter Levenda. Mr. Levenda has a truly massive and very influential body of work, including his groundbreaking China business book “The Mao of Business”, and he is considered to be something of a legend in certain circles. For roughly 40 years, Levenda has taken a very rational, scientific and historical approach to researching topics that are most commonly viewed through a conspiracy theory lens, and he’s won the respect of mainstream scientists, academics, and fans around the world as a result. Lately, Levenda is most well-known for his work with former rockstar @TomDeLonge of Blink182 and his “To The Stars” initiative, which is responsible for facilitating the recent high-level US Government disclosures regarding the UFO phenomenon, as reported on the front page of The New York Times and other newspapers around the world. This is an outgrowth of Levenda's earlier work writing extensively on post-WW2 issues related to the fate of various bad guys who escaped Germany and their subsequent roles in the founding of the US space program and other intrigues. But what’s most relevant to OUR show today is Levenda’s passionate interest in and pioneering role doing international trade with China, beginning in 1984. Among other topics, we discuss: his early studies doing translations of Chinese alchemical texts as he earned his Master’s degree, and their relationship to Cabalistic material; his 34+ year career working with and traveling in China, and his impressions of how the country has grown and evolved as he has met and worked with people from all walks of life here; the disconnect between the “virtual China” that most outsiders conceive of versus the reality of the place; China’s sense of itself and how approaching it with a colonial, antagonistic attitude is a recipe for disaster; how China’s own space program will likely distinguish itself in the near future; the broader power dynamics at play in the East versus the West and what a smart China strategy should consider; and much more. We also cover the “To The Stars” project somewhat as well as other random tangents that pop up here and there, so it’s a relative buffet of Levenda goodness. This one gets very philosophical yet is extremely practical too. Peter is not only learned, he is also dryly funny and we had a wonderful chat. With all due respect to my other guests, I have to say that this is possibly my favorite episode of the show so far, so I really hope you’ll give it a listen and that you enjoy it if you do!

For 5 years The US Government was secretly funding the “Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program” that investigated UFO sightings. Recently parts of the program were disclosed and made public. What does the Government really know about the existence of UFOs? Is this a part of a larger disinformation program? How does this tie into Tom DeLonge and Skinwalker Ranch? All this and more as we attempt to make heads or tails of the Secret Pentagon UFO Program.

The term "Disclosure" in the UFO community generally refers to the long-awaited event when the government, specifically the U.S. Government, finally tells the world that UFOs exist, along with everything they know about extraterrestrials, or so enthusiasts of the topic would hope. While we wouldn't suggest holding your breath until "Full Disclosure" happens, there has been an interesting, recent development worth noting. On December 17, 2017, the New York Times published a curious article titled, "Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program." Apart from the mild surprise that such a serious publication as the New York Times would bother running with any story that would give consideration to such a "preposterous" idea as UFOs being real, is the bigger surprise that from 2007 until 2012, $22 million dollars of U.S. taxpayer money was spent annually on something called the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. Although funding for this program officially ceased in 2012, it was also revealed that the program still exists and continues to investigate credible reports of possible UFO encounters. Join us tonight as we sit down with friend, collaborator and fellow podcaster Rob Kristofferson, host of his own show called Our Strange Skies as we discuss the significance of a major revelation that there is a serious military effort to investigate what many believe is Science Fiction, but what some "in the know" think may be a threat against which we have no defense.

It's a brand new year, time for fresh starts, time to throw those old cares away. Well, we know that's easier said than done, so we'll try and take care of a few big questions we know are on everyone's mind going into 2018. Questions like: What is your roommate storing in his conspicuous model ship? Where can I watch free episodes of my favorite TV show, Frasier? And, if someone could inject memories of a fantastic vacation directly into a person's brain, would they charge more to give you one with lots of sleep? The answers, or a close enough facsimile, are right here.
