We're privileged to have one of the most recognized names in investigative journalism, George Knapp. He is known for his extensive journalistic research on UFOs/UAPs, and paranormal phenomena. George brings decades of experience to our audience and ourselves. As a pioneer in this field of journalism and massive military intelligence cover-up worldwide, the class is in session! Knapp will share his journey into his start in investigative journalism, particularly focusing on how he transitioned from conventional reporting to becoming a leading voice in UAP research and global acknowledgment. We'll discuss the pivotal moments that shaped his career, including his famous interviews with Bob Lazar and his role in bringing Area 51 into the public eye. Recounts some of his most intriguing investigations, detailing encounters with witnesses, whistleblowers, and the often-overlooked evidence that suggests there might be more to the skies than we're told. His experiences at Skinwalker Ranch and the implications of his visit there gave him and Mrs. Knapp a good scare. The Netflix Series - Investigation Alien: We talk about George's latest project, with the creators at Netflix, on the series "Investigation Alien," where he explores new evidence and testimonies regarding UFOs. George will share behind-the-scenes insights on shooting the series and discuss how this platform has helped change public perception. George has faced his fair share of skepticism from fellow journalists and the broader public for over 4 decades. We'll delve into how he keeps his focus amidst the current media circus, his approach to skepticism, and how he maintains his integrity in reporting on topics often dismissed as fringe. George offers invaluable advice for those looking to enter the field of UAP or paranormal research. This includes strategies for conducting research, the importance of maintaining objectivity, and how to handle the inevitable pushback from detractors. He's been there, done that, got the t-shirt. How the landscape has changed, especially with recent Congressional hearings and increased governmental interest in UAPs, validating much of what he has been reporting on for 40+ years. A true gentleman and a great conversationalist. The Hosts are honoured :) #InvestigationAlien #Area51 #SkinWalkers

Host Updates: The team shares its recent activities, from their explorations into artificial intelligence's potential in UAP analysis to the CIA's latest maneuvers, which remind us of the long game they've been playing with public perception and information control. Congressional Hearings Recap: We'll dissect the recent developments in the halls of Congress, where transparency and disclosure seem to be inching forward, yet the game remains complex with every testimony and withheld document. APRO Files with Katie Paige: Katie will take us through her journey in New Mexico, exploring the UFO library with David Marler, with historic files. She'll discuss her findings and insights, including revisiting the iconic Snippy the Horse case from 1967, shedding light on one of the earliest and most baffling animal mutilation incidents. Addressing the Elephant in the Room: It's time to confront an uncomfortable truth within our community. The hosts will call out the charlatans and snake oil salesmen who have infiltrated UAP research. We'll discuss the impact of misinformation and how to navigate the balance between skepticism and openness in our field. Connect with Katie!

Claims of retrieving crashed craft and vehicles from non-human intelligence (NHI) abound in popular culture and the media. For his paper, Dr. Szydagis utilizes the number of such claims to estimate the years expected before a Catastrophic Disclosure occurs. This term was defined at the 2023 Sol Foundation's inaugural conference as the accidental disclosure of conclusive evidence of the existence of NHI, outside of the control of human institutions, such as governments and militaries.  Here, we will consider one possible example: the crash of a piloted spacecraft (or an ET probe) in the middle of a busy metropolis. The distribution of humans on Earth's surface, the population as a function of time, and the fraction of individuals owning smartphones, versus time, are all taken into consideration as foundations for a rigorous statistical analysis. You can read Dr. Matthew Szydagis's Paper here: ⁠https://arxiv.org/abs/2410.12738⁠ Matthew Szydagis is the Associate Professor of Physics University of Albany Experimental Astro particle physics, specializing in particular direct detection of dark matter WIMPs (Weakly Interacting Massive Particles), and general detector development for rare event searches.

We welcome long-time UFO researcher Ben Moss. Ben shares insights from his extensive investigation into the Socorro Incident, a famous UFO encounter in 1964 involving police officer Lonnie Zamora Ben discusses his collaboration with fellow investigator Tony Angiola on their book "SOCORRO: When the Witness Was a Policeman," which provides a deep dive into this case. Drawing from his years of research, Ben offers listeners a comprehensive look at the Socorro Incident, exploring the evidence, witness testimonies, and the lasting impact of this event on UFO studies, J. Alen Hynek started CUFOS not too long after looking into this event. His experience as a MUFON Field Investigator and State Section Director for Virginia adds valuable perspective to our discussion. Ben's expertise in historical cases and contemporary UAP phenomena provides a well-rounded view. https://www.amazon.com/SOCORRO-Witness-Policeman-Lonnie-Zamora-ebook/dp/B08S5JLXRG

Hosts Jason and Katie are joined by special guest, journalist Daniel Otis (freelance Journalist) contributing articles for VICE, CTV Otis, known for his extensive work investigating UAP-related topics, shares insights into Canada's approach to tracking and recording these reports. Otis joins world-stage reporters like Ross Coulthart, Michael Shellenberger, and reputable journalists worldwide exposing the dark century of lies, deceit, and crimes against humanity to keep this hidden from the 'general' population. There is a stark contrast between the United States' multi-agency involvement and Canada's subdued response to UAP research and investigations. Otis provides a critical analysis of Canada's current position on UAP research The discussion broadens to consider the UAP issue as a worldwide concern, emphasizing the need for international cooperation and information sharing.

Today we welcome author Mike Clelland to talk about the connection with UFOs, Abductions, and the Owl connections. Many experience both in one sighting. Are they attracted to the object's energy? do they see or feel something we don't? Mike has been researching this subject for years and has written several books about it. Hundreds of people write him emails with similar encounters and it's becoming more prevalent than we originally thought. We have not covered this aspect before, it's new territory and we love it.

Welcome to episode 4, (series finale if you will) In this installment, we conclude Dr. Pierson's work, "Detectable Signatures of Unidentified Aerospace Phenomena: Building an Intelligence Picture of Capabilities Through Structured Analytic Techniques." As we continue to unpack Dr. Pierson's dissertation, it's clear that his structured analytic techniques and rigorous methodology are setting a new (hopefully consistent) standard for UAP research. By focusing on detectable signatures and building a comprehensive intelligence picture, Dr. Pierson is providing the kind of concrete, data-driven analysis that has long been missing from this field.
