In this in-depth conversation, Martin Willis is joined by Anna Brady-Estevez, a senior technology investor and former government innovation leader, for a wide-ranging discussion on UAP, scientific rigor, and the future of advanced research. Anna shares her personal journey into the UAP topic—from early curiosity and cultural stigma to firsthand sightings and high-level exposure through government, science, and finance. Drawing on her experience funding hundreds of advanced technology companies across energy, space, and national security, she explains how UAP-related questions increasingly overlap with real, cutting-edge research already underway.Topics explored include:
- Why UAP remained stigmatized for decades—and what has changed
- Firsthand sightings involving orbs, structured craft, and anomalous behavior
- How scientists evaluate unexplained phenomena without abandoning rigor
- The role of government, funding, and private industry in UAP research
- Congressional hearings, whistleblowers, and public disclosure
- Advanced propulsion, materials science, sensing technologies, and energy
- Reports of non-human biologics and why the terminology matters
- National security concerns versus scientific openness
- What meaningful UAP research funding would actually support
- Why innovation often begins with anomalies others ignore
