Skywatcher: “100% Success Rate” Summoning UAP
UAP whistleblower Jake Barber’s group, Skywatcher, has had a busy few weeks. They announced they intend to prove mechanical and psionic UAP summoning by the end of the year. To support that goal, they released a scientific discovery framework, a structured way to handle UAP research, with six levels that each require more scrutiny before eventually graduating to public acceptance. Plus, they dropped the second episode of their documentary series, which discussed the mechanical “dog whistle” they’ve developed, with a 100% success rate summoning UFOs, and included a classification guide to make sense of the different types of UAP they’ve seen in their experiments.You can find show notes and references at our website, VeryExcitingTime.com, or support us at patreon.com/VeryExcitingTime.

Luna will head the Task Force On the Declassification of Federal Secrets, which will investigate, among other topics, the JFK files and the UAP topic, resulting in at least two further UAP hearings, and could represent a growing willingness in Congress to pursue the topic more seriously.You can find show notes and references at our website, VeryExcitingTime.com, or support us at patreon.com/VeryExcitingTime.

Jake Barber: New Whistleblower Worked for UFO Retrieval Program
This week Ross Coulthart introduced his new whistleblower, Jake Barber, an Air Force veteran who has come out as a whistleblower claiming to have worked in the secret UFO crash retrieval program. He shared stories of recovering exotic craft from a testing range in the desert, where he and his team were made ill by their exposure to the things they recovered. Barber says he recovered at least two non-human craft. One was egg-shaped, and there’s video of the recovery. The other made a profound psychic connection with him. He also claims the military has “psionics teams” who request UFOs to land and be recovered. And finally, he says that while tasked to recover illegal evidence of UFO recoveries, he and his team were set up, and he’s gone public to protect himself. It’s a wild story, so buckle up!

Cybertruck Bomber Says Mystery Drones are Chinese Anti-Gravity Tech
Mystery drone swarms in New Jersey and elsewhere are ongoing, triggering further FAA flight restrictions, snark from former AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick, and claims that FBI drone detection tech is inadequate. Perhaps most surprising, however, is that the Cybertruck bomber sent an email claiming to be read into a secret UAP program, and that the drones are Chinese technology, using “gravitic” propulsion!

Mystery Drones: Don’t Believe Your Lying Eyes, Government Says
It’s been more than a month of nightly drone swarms over New Jersey, and the sightings have now spread to four additional military bases, as well as civilian sightings coast-to-coast. The government attempted to explain the sightings away as hobby drones and misidentified stars, and made a bizarre claim that no sightings have occurred in restricted airspace. But with Air Force bases being shut down due to drone incursions, no one finds this explanation convincing, which raises the troubling question: Why is the government lying to us about the drones?

Mystery Drone Swarms in New Jersey & UK
Last year, mysterious drone swarms targeted Navy ships and Langley Air Force Base, nearly colliding with an F22 and causing a fighter squadron to be relocated. Despite intense investigation, their origin is still unknown. This year, the drones are back! This time they’re targeting several RAF bases in the UK as well as the entire state of New Jersey. They’ve been in the air every night for over two weeks. These drones are unusually large and quiet, and they can hover in place for hours at a time. Countermeasures are ineffective, and no one’s been able to track where they come from or go to. What is happening?
