UAP PART I: The Cover Up Mar 05, 2024

Show notes

In 1969, the U.S. Government shut down their only program dedicated to researching UFOs. Despite hundreds of incidents still being “unidentified”, the government claimed that there was no likelihood they would ever investigate the subject again. But decades later, reporters uncovered a program buried within the Pentagon analyzing encounters Navy pilots were having with craft that appeared to have technology far surpassing anything known on Earth.

INTERVIEW: Former New York Times Reporter - Ralph Blumenthal Mar 04, 2024

Show notes

Ralph Blumenthal had a long career working as a reporter for the New York Times. Together with Leslie Kean, he brought the explosive story about a secret government program that had been quietly studying UFOs - regardless of the government's public denials of any such program existing. He later helped bring the incredible story of David Grusch to the public spotlight. His reporting has led to multiple congressional hearings being held on the subject of UFOs. We spoke with him about how he came upon these stories and what the future may hold for disclosure.
