The Lake Cote Photo: A Filmmaker Investigates Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I’m joined by filmmaker Adam Pillon to explore one of the most compelling UFO cases ever captured on film—the Cote UFO photograph.Taken in 1971 during a government aerial mapping mission over Costa Rica, this image stands out for its clarity, credibility, and the fact it was captured on analog film using a high-precision cartographic camera. Decades later, it still hasn’t been convincingly explained.Adam, alongside producer Megan Woomer, set out to investigate this case in their documentary The Cote Photo. What started as a passion project quickly became something much deeper—connecting them with witnesses, researchers, and the original film itself.In this conversation, we cover:The story behind the Cote UFO photographWhat modern high-resolution scans revealedWhy this case is considered a cornerstone of UFO historyFirst-hand accounts from people in the regionHow making the film changed Adam’s perspectiveWhether you’re new to the topic or deep into UAP research, this is a case worth understanding.Want to support the channel?

Something Is Changing in the UFO Story | UAP Files Podcast NEWS UPDATE Apr 17, 2026

Show notes

UFO Debate Intensifies as Governments, Media, and Public Curiosity CollideThe global conversation around UFOs is entering a new and potentially pivotal phase.In this news update, we break down the latest developments as political momentum, institutional involvement, and cultural interest converge in 2026.In the United States, Donald Trump has publicly backed efforts to declassify UFO-related files, citing growing public demand for transparency. Alongside comments from JD Vance and other political figures, the subject is now firmly part of mainstream political debate. Regardless of the debate around their angle, we can't deny they are talking about it.Meanwhile, lawmakers are pushing for access to 46 classified military videos believed to show unexplained aerial phenomena, with reports suggesting capabilities that may exceed known human technology.Behind the scenes, the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office is under increasing scrutiny as officials determine what information can be released to the public.In the UK, renewed attention follows the passing of Nick Pope, a former Ministry of Defence investigator who examined hundreds of cases and argued that some sightings defy conventional explanation.At the same time, popular culture continues to shape perception, with renewed interest in Bob Lazar: Area 51 & Flying Saucers bringing long-standing claims back into the spotlight.Taken together, these developments suggest that UFOs are no longer confined to the fringes—they are becoming a focal point of global attention.Whether this leads to genuine breakthroughs or continued mystery, one thing is clear:The UFO question is now firmly in the mainstream—and the world is watching.

What Happens When 400,000 People Are Listening? | Quiet Signal EP 006 | UAP Files Podcast Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

What happens when a platform grows far beyond anything you expected?

In this episode of The Quiet Signal, I reflect on the strange reality of curating information for an audience of hundreds of thousands of people in the UAP space — while trying to remain independent, fair, and grounded.

This isn’t really about any one personality. It’s about the pressure of platforms, the politics of online communities, the challenge of staying neutral in a deeply divided subject, and the very human reality behind running UAP Files. Adapted from a written piece originally published on Substack, this episode is a more personal audio essay on audience, responsibility, criticism, burnout, integrity, and why trying to keep “an entire small city” happy every day is almost impossible.If you’ve ever wondered what it’s actually like behind the scenes of a growing UFO/UAP platform — this one is for you.

In this episode:

Building UAP Files from scratch

Growing an audience of nearly 400,000 people

The pressure of curating information fairly

Personality politics in the UFO world

Why neutrality is harder than it sounds

Balancing research, podcasting, family life, and health

Staying open-minded without becoming performative

What if THEY are US? Did We Create the Simulation? UAP Files Podcast S4|E13 (EXCERPT) Apr 13, 2026

Show notes

The following is an excerpt from a conversation with author and consciousness researcher Anthony Peake.

Anthony explores the boundaries between science and the unexplained — from déjà vu and altered states of consciousness to UFO encounters and the possibility of non-human intelligence.

In his book The Hidden Universe, he suggests that reality may be far more complex than we perceive — potentially involving multiple dimensions and deeper layers of consciousness.

Today we’ll be talking about the nature of reality, the mystery of consciousness, and whether humanity might be interacting with intelligences beyond our understanding.

In this episode I am joined by my co-host Tom Vernon from Tom Vernon UAP (YouTube).

He Worked Near the President… And Studied UFOs for 30 Years | UFOs and Indonesia | Al Sandy Suharjono Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

Today’s guest is Al Sandy Suharjono — a longtime UFO researcher from Indonesia with nearly three decades of experience investigating sightings and building one of the country’s oldest UFO research communities, BETA-UFO Indonesia.But what makes Al especially interesting is that he’s not just a researcher. He also served as an Assistant Special Staff member to the President of Indonesia from 2019 to 2024, working in strategic and international affairs — giving him rare proximity to high-level government and decision-making.In this episode, we step outside the usual U.S.-focused narrative and explore Indonesia’s own UFO history — from Cold War-era sightings over Surabaya, to alleged encounters in remote islands, and even claims of a 1997 crash recovery gifted to the CIA.We also get into how culture, religion, and perception shape how UFOs are understood in Indonesia — and why much of this global history has gone largely unnoticed.This is a fascinating conversation that broadens the UFO discussion far beyond the West.Want to support the channel?

NEW Rendlesham UFO Witness: “It Was Scanning the Ground” | UAP Files Podcast S4E15 w/Gregory Smith Apr 08, 2026

Show notes

In December 1980, something strange happened in the forests beside RAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge in Suffolk, England - an event many now call the “British Roswell.”Multiple U.S. Air Force personnel reported mysterious lights moving through the trees, strange craft, and unexplained activity over several nights. Decades later, the Rendlesham Forest incident remains one of the most credible and debated UFO cases in history.Today’s guest, Gregory Smith, was stationed at RAF Bentwaters during that time. A young man in the U.S. Air Force assigned to personnel, Gregory often spent time with the base’s security police and on one of those nights in December 1980, he witnessed something he still struggles to explain.From the barracks parking lot, Gregory watched bright lights moving deliberately through the forest in what he describes as a grid-like pattern… almost as if something was scanning the ground below the trees.More than forty years later, he’s sharing his story.Want to support the channel?

UFOs! Ross's Portal, Hillary Clinton’s Deposition, and Why Congress Is Failing | UAP Files Podcast Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

Is there a "portal" somewhere on Earth? A location in America, perhaps, where something unexplained allows objects or even people to pass through solid surfaces?

In this video, I break down one of the claims circulating in the UFO / UAP world right now: statements linked to investigative journalist Ross Coulthart, known for his reporting on Reality Check with Ross Coulthart on NewsNation.

According to sources Coulthart has referenced, there may be a portal-like phenomenon, with reports that people have even walked into walls or solid structures at this locations.

Coulthard has said he has personally visited the location connected to the claim, though the details remain highly secretive.

In this video we explore:

The portal claim and what sources say actually happens there

What Ross Coulthart has publicly stated about visiting the site

Why some insiders believe the site is connected to UAP technology

But that’s not all. We also examine newly resurfaced questions from the deposition involving Hillary Clinton connected to Jeffrey Epstein, where she is asked about UFOs and government knowledge of UFOs and UAPs.

What does this tell us about how seriously UFOs are taken at the highest levels of politics?

Finally, I dive into the growing frustration many people feel with United States Congress over the slow pace of UFO investigation and transparency. Despite hearings, whistleblowers, and increasing public interest, real answers about UAPs, crash retrieval programs, and non-human technology still seem painfully slow to emerge. Simple leads not being followed and basic investigative steps being missed by Congress and Dr Sean Kirkpatrick at AARO (All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office).

If there really are portals, advanced craft, or unknown phenomena interacting with our world, why is progress toward transparency moving so slowly?

We Might Be Looking for Aliens the Wrong Way | Quiet Signal EP 005 | UAP Files Podcast Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

The Quiet Signal — Episode 5

You’ve heard the phrase: ‘There’s no evidence of extraterrestrials.’ It’s repeated so often that it sounds like a scientific conclusion.

But in science, there is an important distinction:Absence of evidence is not the same thing as evidence of absence.

In this episode of The Quiet Signal, we examine how that phrase is used in discussions about UAPs, extraterrestrial life, and unexplained aerial phenomena.

Rather than asking whether aliens have visited Earth, this episode asks a different question: Is there evidence that unknown, potentially organised, non-human phenomena are interacting with our environment?

We look at:

• The difference between evidence and proof

• Why the “no evidence” argument is often misunderstood

• Radar and infrared observations of unexplained objects

• The limitations of SETI’s search methods

• What history of science teaches us about unseen realities

This episode is based on an article originally published on UAP Files Substack, adapted here for audio.

No sensational claims. No shouting. Just context, cases, and questions.

UFOs: Scientist Captures UAP 100% Of The Time w/ Robert Shiepe | UAP Files Podcast S4|E14 Apr 03, 2026

Show notes

The following is a conversation with Robert Shiepe, a retired pharmacist and creator of the YouTube channel Custodian File.

Robert has a science background, is an entrepreneur, was the first pharmacist to go online and as a result, he got to retire early in a beautiful house with a vantage point over Marina del Rey, California, USA.

Robert has spent years filming what he believes are fast-moving UAPs interacting with helicopters, planes, and other aircraft.

He’s built up thousands of videos, developed his own methods for tracking them, and spoken with everyone from researchers to officials about what he’s found - CIA, The Vatican and SETI.

So today, we’re diving into Robert’s story, his evidence, and why he believes something extraordinary is happening in the skies above Los Angeles and how you can capture this footage too, with near 100% success.
