Lenval Logan, a former member of the UAP Task Force and creator of the Phenom app, dives into his own UFO sighting and experiences with the military. He discusses the pivotal role of the Task Force in ensuring pilot safety while navigating public skepticism. The conversation sheds light on innovative technology for documenting UFO sightings, empowering citizen science. Logan also emphasizes the need for transparency in UAP investigations and explores the distinction between conventional drones and potential non-human intelligence.
The podcast highlights the reliance on individual military sightings rather than satellite data, limiting the understanding of UFO phenomena.
Concerns regarding governmental transparency persist, as significant UFO data remains classified due to national security justifications.
The introduction of the Phenom app aims to enhance citizen participation in UFO research by facilitating real-time sharing of sighting data.
Deep dives
Limited Orbital Observation Data
Most UFO sightings and data are primarily derived from ground or air observations instead of orbital or satellite sources. The speaker explains that the military tends to focus on individual sightings by personnel such as fighter pilots, rather than utilizing sophisticated satellite technology. This leads to a limited view of UFO phenomena since satellite organizations typically keep observations within their own frameworks. Consequently, the lack of direct collaboration with entities like NASA limits the breadth of the data collected.
Transparency Challenges in UFO Reporting
Concerns over the U.S. government's transparency regarding UFO information continue to persist. Agencies like Arrow claim to be committed to transparency, yet significant data remains unreleased, often justified by national security concerns. The speaker reflects on situations where classified operations may have inadvertently captured UFO footage, resulting in reluctance to disclose this information. Ultimately, there is a belief that gatekeeping persists within governmental bodies, making it easier to withhold information than to disclose it.
Collaborative Citizen Science Initiatives
The importance of citizen participation and collaboration in UFO research is emphasized through the introduction of an app designed to collect data on sightings. This app aims to allow users to gather detailed information about UFO experiences, including location, time, and environmental conditions. By enabling the sharing of sightings among users in real-time, the app has the potential to document phenomena from various angles and perspectives. Such initiatives are seen as crucial in overcoming the limitations posed by institutional barriers to gathering credible UAP data.
Historical Context of UFO Sightings
The speaker shares personal anecdotes from their experience in military tasks involving UFO sightings, including a specific event involving a triangular object during a flight to Germany. They recount how discussions with British intelligence revealed that other military personnel were aware of unidentified objects but felt unable to openly address them. This historical context enhances the understanding of how layered and sensitive the topic of UFOs has been, highlighting issues surrounding credibility and stigma within the military community. Sharing these experiences fosters engagement and interest in the evolution of UFO studies.
The Role of Apps in UFO Research and Data Sharing
The introduction of the Phenom app is framed as a progressive tool for the collection and analysis of UFO sightings among enthusiasts and researchers. By leveraging smartphone sensors, the app aims to remove ambiguity in reporting sightings, allowing for accurate data capture and analysis. The intent is to build a shared database that can collaborate with existing platforms, facilitating a comprehensive approach to UFO research through collective data gathering. This focus on community-driven science recognizes the necessity of pooling resources to move the conversation forward in understanding UAP phenomena.
