Deep beneath the Pentagon, analysts notice something strange: some messages were decrypted months ago. The chaos isn't random - it's cover for something bigger.

THIS EPISODE:In ORBIT, author Lee Starks takes us deep into the Pentagon, where a secretive Special Operations unit known as 'Team Usual' operates beyond the confines of typical government guidelines. Stationed at the ultra-clandestine Harvey Point Defense and Testing Facility in North Carolina, Special Agent Jack Riggs thought he was on a well-deserved break with his daughter Kat—until an unexpected sight in the sky changed everything. When the Defense Intelligence Agency calls his team into action, Riggs is thrust into a mission to track down a rogue contractor's UFO recovery team. With access to the entire US Military Intelligence toolbox, Riggs and his team venture into the jungles of South America, uncovering a tangled web of government conspiracies, defense contractor fraud, and secret space programs, all while embodying honor, integrity, and courage.Lee Starks uses his 30+ years of deep undercover operations (and UFO - UAP experiencer) to bring you a story that will have you questioning everything.

Mr. Harbinger could not quite believe in the Mouth. But poor Mr. Harbinger—or Darwin, if you prefer—are gone to other times. Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter. That's next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast.If you are a regular listener of the podcast you know we love to discover interesting stories by authors you have never heard of, and that's exactly what we have for you today. Here's what Fantastic Universe had to say, “Mr. Hunter's superb art work has appeared on a baker's dozen science fiction magazine covers during the past year, but incredible as it may seem with this story we introduce him to the reading public for the first time as a science fiction writer. We say incredible, because this is not a beginner's story. It is sparkling, sophisticated, erudite—the work of a craftsman.”This is the first time we have come across an illustrator turned author. And here's the amazing thing, he wasn't any old illustrator, Mel Hunter was a very accomplished illustrator producing illustrations for famous science fiction authors Isaac Asimov and Robert A. Heinlein, as well as a technical and scientific illustrator for The Pentagon, Hayden Planetarium in Boston, and the Massachusetts Audubon Society.Hunter was born in 1927 in Oak Park, Illinois and he taught himself book and magazine illustration. He was nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Professional Artist in 1960, 1961 and 1962. He became a technical illustrator at Northrop Aircraft where he painted illustrations of advanced aircraft and simulated combat scenarios.His love of air and space took him from California's desert runways to Florida's seacoast launchpads to illustrate every variety of jet-age aircraft and space-age rocket imaginable—from the X-15 to Saturn V. He died in 2004 and according to his final wish, his cremated remains were launched into space on May 22, 2012.Savor this story, immerse yourself in it, and listen to it as many times as your heart desires—for it stands alone, as the singular science fiction story ever penned by Mel Hunter. From Fantastic Universe Magazine in September 1954, this truly amazing story can be found on page 39, Or Darwin, If You prefer by Mel Hunter…Next on The Lost Sci-Fi Podcast, I bought the door–even though the auctioneer warned of evil.

President-elect Donald Trump was sentenced in his New York business records criminal case to an unconditional discharge, meaning no punishment or penalties. Trump appeared via video from Mar-a-Lago and said he would appeal his conviction.Massive wildfires in Southern California have killed 10 people and destroyed more than 10,000 structures. The Pentagon has stated that it is ready to deploy 500 active-duty personnel and ten Navy helicopters to help suppress the fires.The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in TikTok's challenge to a law that could potentially ban the platform on Jan. 19. The justices appeared critical of TikTok's argument that the law violated its First Amendment rights to free speech.

In this Thursday episode of The Hot Seat, we dive into Chris Cuomo's latest gaffe, where he claims you need sources like the Wall Street Journal to talk about the news—ironic coming from someone who made a national spectacle of himself over Ivermectin and Joe Rogan. We also highlight Megyn Kelly's sharp critique of the Los Angeles Fire Department's DEI hires, solidifying her status as the female version of me. But the real focus today is Pete Hegseth, the nominee for Secretary of Defense. Out of all cabinet picks, this is the one America desperately needs. The Department of Defense is overdue for a complete overhaul, and Hegseth may be the leader to rebuild, reform, and restore it to the powerhouse the nation depends on. Let's talk about what his leadership could mean for America.

Best I can tell there are two emerging Democratic Lanes in our post-Obama era world…Progressive + Border Hawk In a bygone era, Bernie Sanders got an “A” rating from the NRA and believed increased immigration was a corporatist scheme to drive down union wages. While, he has yet to reload on his 2A cred, he is now back to beating the drum on the economic costs of immigration. I would suspect that progressives will feel more comfortable consciously uncoupling from positions and groups calling for a decriminalized border. New Blue DogsArf! Arf! John Fetterman sees a lot of Trump signs when he drives through the state of Pennsylvania. So why should he fight tooth and nail to keep Pete Hegseth from the Pentagon? If he wants to keep his seat in a state that is trending rightward then maybe picking and choosing his battles with the MAGA agenda is smarter than diametric opposition. Maybe it makes more sense to make face in Mar-A-Lago than to march in defiance. —Either way we have a lot of spaghetti being thrown at the wall and our friend Jeff Maurer is here to help make sense of it.

Speculation over mystery drones has not subsided and neither the Pentagon or the Biden administration has given an answer of merit. Matt Laslo has been covering drones and UAP phenomena for years now and he is with us today to share what he has discovered. While the drones in New Jersey were making headlines before the holiday, off the coast a fleet of over a dozen drones followed a 47 foot U.S. Coast Guard ship. Matt's substack Ask A Pol is a rigorous quest to get answers from our government leaders. Are these drones a threat? Are there UAPS that are alien crafts? Lawmakers like Senator Tim Kaine and Congressman Eli Crane are pressing government agencies and like Matt, are not satisfied with the answers they're getting. There have been legitimate testimonies from whistleblowers like David Grush and Luis Elizondo who wrote a book after leading the Pentagon's program for the investigation of UFOs. The Pentagon has been tight-lipped on UAPs and have taken no responsibility for documented incidents. Maybe now in the era of the digital phone will enough footage emerge to answer this question.

In a full-show appearance, veteran UFO observer and reporter Keith Thompson discussed complexities surrounding UFO phenomena, including sightings, government responses, researchers' interpretations, and the fields of consciousness and the paranormal. He highlighted the government's typical response to UFO sightings, which often downplays the significance of these events. Their pattern, he said, has repeated throughout the UFO phenomenon since 1947: "Go away, people. There's nothing to be seen here." He pondered whether the current drone phenomenon (such as mysterious sightings over NJ) could be a test of public reaction, suggesting that non-human intelligence might be observing human responses to these ambiguous situations.Thompson emphasized the need to reassess the terminology surrounding UFOs, noting that the shift from "UFO" to "UAP" (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) was an attempt by the Pentagon to distance itself from the stigma associated with extraterrestrial life. He pointed out that "UFO means unidentified flying object," yet the term has become conflated with extraterrestrial narratives, limiting our understanding of the phenomenon. He also touched on the cultural implications of UFOs, stating, "The deeper you dig into it, the wider the discussion gets." He urged listeners to consider the broader historical context, hinting at connections between UFOs and ancient myths, as explored in Jacques Vallee's work.Drawing parallels between UFO experiences and shamanic traditions, he compared some UFO encounters to unusual states of consciousness, like a near-death experience he had in Hawaii. In comprehending the topic, he advocated for thinking beyond conventional boundaries. "Some of what were called UFOs are probably interdimensional rather than extraterrestrial," he continued. Addressing his influence on Dr. John Mack, the late Harvard psychiatrist who studied alien abduction phenomena, Mack told Thompson that if he had not read his book Angels & Aliens (published in 1991), he might not have gone down the road of delving into the subject.Thompson spoke about his research into the 1994 Ariel School incident in Zimbabwe, where over 60 children reported an encounter with extraterrestrial beings, and the profound psychological impact of this experience that followed some of the witnesses into adulthood, such as Emily Trim. The conversation shifted to the political landscape surrounding UFO disclosure, with Thompson recounting his involvement with Lawrence Rockefeller in efforts to persuade the Clinton administration to release information about UFOs.

Brian Dunning, creator of the podcast Skeptoid, made a documentary that brings a skeptical, analytical eye to the recent UFO craze – including those three famous UFO videos released by the Pentagon that got a whole lot of attention in a 2017 New York Times article. His documentary has the tongue-in-cheek title “The UFO Movie They Don't Want You To See” and you can find it at www.briandunning.com/ufo. I think more people need to see Brian's movie; it explained a lot and now I feel like I finally understand those videos. It's been surprising how little attention the more rational, analytical explanations for those videos have gotten. If you're someone who's seen those videos and thought “What the hell is going on?” I think you'll want to watch Brian's movie. In this short episode I focus on one specific explanation for one of the videos in question. (I recommend watching my YouTube video version of this episode.)

Kicking off 2025, Navy Veteran Vann Morris sits with Dr. Ron Hirschberg and talks about his journey from young sailor, to Lieutenant Commander, and a man on a mission to heal America through his patriotism and infectious personality. Vann is a teacher, preacher, and leader. Retired after 30 years, his last 3 tours were at the Pentagon, the 82nd Airborne Division in Bagram, Afghanistan, and US Special Operations Command. Vann talks about love for country, family and the fact that we all should be aware that our best friend and our worst enemy are actually the same person – ourselves. He talks about the power of influence and how it can be used for good, and how when it comes to veteran suicide, it's about making ourselves more approachable than we think we are, and therefore to ask each other if we are not doing OK. ______Many thanks to Navy Veteran Vann Morris for sitting with me, along with Army Veteran and wife Rita Morris.
