Retired law enforcement officers Dave Rich and Marianne Robb join host Martin Willis for a wide-ranging conversation on why first responders can be uniquely strong UAP/UFO witnesses—and why the professional fallout after reporting can be just as traumatic as the encounter itself. They break down how academy/scenario-based training shapes observation under stress, then pivot into major police-involved cases including the multi-agency “Lumberton” triangle flap (four nights of sightings across multiple counties), RCMP officer Jim Blackwood (flashlight interaction), Lonnie Zamora (Socorro), and Val Johnson (1979)—including the physical damage to his patrol car and the long-term consequences for witnesses who speak publicly. The discussion also highlights the mission of UAPD (UAP-PD): providing a confidential, “safe zone” for active and retired first responders to share UAP/paranormal/cryptid experiences without fear of ridicule or career impact. Dave recounts the 2017 incident that led to UAPD's formation—an unexplained 911 call from an empty school, follow-up investigation steps (video, phone/line checks, audio analysis), and the pressure he faced afterward to stay silent. If you're a first responder with an experience you've kept to yourself, you are not alone—and support exists.SHOW NOTES

What if artificial intelligence isn't just human innovation — but part of a far older, non-human agenda? In this fascinating episode, Martin Willis speaks with Danielle Silverman, close associate of the late Nigel Kerner, to explore his provocative ideas from Grey Aliens and Artificial Intelligence: The Battle Between Natural and Synthetic Beings for the Human Soul.

In this episode, host Martin Willis interviews Dr. Irena Scott, who presents groundbreaking new UFO research that redefines Close Encounter (CE) investigations. The 1973 Pascagoula Abduction—often called the most credible and well-documented CE in history—is revealed to have deeper layers than ever known before. On October 11, 1973, shipyard workers Calvin Parker and Charles Hickson were fishing on the Pascagoula River when they reported being taken aboard a craft by strange humanoid beings—an event that captured global attention. But new findings suggest this encounter took place in a nuclear and military zone, raising critical questions: Why them? Why there? Dr. Scott's research shows that the area was tied to facilities producing nuclear submarines, possibly armed with missiles. This connection places the event among other high-level UAP incidents involving nuclear sites—a pattern that commands scientific respect and government attention.SHOW NOTESSupport the Show & Stay Connected!
