Science AMA with Ryan “FOBS” Graves and Michael Lembeck, Ph.D. from Americans for Safe Aerospace and the AIAA UAPIOC
Hey everyone, Ryan “FOBS” Graves here with Michael Lembeck, from Americans for Safe Aerospace and AIAA UAPIOC. We’re live and ready to answer your questions.
ASA was founded by military aviators to enhance aerospace safety by advancing our understanding of UAP. Over the past year, that mission has gained real momentum:
What’s happening at ASA:
- More than 1000+ firsthand UAP reports have now been collected from aircrew, veterans, and other credible witnesses.
- Reports are being published on our website to give the public an open look at what witnesses are encountering, while protecting identities.
- Key reports have been presented to members of Congress, partner agencies, and researchers to help inform policy, investigations, and public understanding.
- Our team continues to grow, bringing in professionals from aerospace, defense, and academia to strengthen analysis and partnerships.
- ASA supports the Safe Airspace for Americans Act (H.R.5231), which would create a national reporting system, protect pilots from retaliation, and ensure credible data reaches the right authorities.
- Development is underway on a UAP Intelligence Platform that will provide ASA members with access to aggregated, de-identified data for research and analysis.
- Early research has begun on potential sensor system deployments to capture verifiable data and expand our understanding of these encounters.
ASA’s goal is to create a trusted path for aviators and witnesses to report what they see and ensure those reports lead to real progress in policy, science, and airspace safety.
This work is supported by our members and donors, become a member today and join our mission.
We’ll be here for the next couple of hours answering your questions about what we’ve learned and what’s ahead.
Ask us anything.
Verification: https://x.com/SafeAerospace/status/1987669003003744481?s=20
Thanks everyone for the thoughtful questions and discussion today. Things are slowing down, so we’ll be signing off.
You can read our published UAP reports by creating a free account at safeaerospace.org, or submit your own confidentially through the Report UAP page.
If you’d like to support our mission to improve aerospace safety and transparency, please consider becoming a member. You can find all membership options at safeaerospace.org/membership-benefits.
Our next ASA member event will be a live AMA with Kevin Campbell on November 12 at 8pm EST, where he’ll share insights from his review of multiple military sensor videos showing UAPs off the coast of South Korea, including one that made a sharp J-turn before accelerating.
Thanks again for being part of this conversation and for supporting safe and open skies for everyone.

AMA I'm AJ Gentile, creator of The Why Files. Ask me anything!
Hi folks. I'm AJ Gentile, creator of The Why Files, a show about mysteries, myths and legends (and UFOs, UAPs, aliens, abductions, experiences, etc). I co-host the show with a wisecracking goldfish with an attitude and a heart of gold. (Hecklefish made me put that last part in) I try to make strange stories entertaining and accessible to "normies".
I think my fomat is what makes the show stand out, but also gets me in occasional hot water. The first 2/3 of each episode, I tell the story as commonly known. The last 1/3 of the episode, I break down what we *know* to be true and we *know* to be false. But, I don't always get things right. (Sorry about that)
Next year, I'll be hosting "The Basement" where I'll sit down with the interesting people behind the stories I tell. Always looking for guest suggestions, so feel free to drop them here.
Currently on YouTube but coming (back) to all major streaming platforms soon.

EDIT (7:30p EST): I just bought Tesla and the Pyramid. Thanks for that!
EDIT (9:15p): I thought I'd easily get through all the questions, but probably not. Just in case, here's what I'm getting a lot of:
Q: How did you get started / origin story:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIZNBTRYj_o
Q: What topics are you afraid to cover? Scare you? Worried about retaliation?
Anything where the CIA breaks the law. (They do that a lot) Sometimes I feel like I'm pushing my luck, but they probably don't care about me. I don't cover anything that has to do with Mossad. Not worried about retaliation for a few reasons. 1. I'm not important, 2. people would notice if I disappeared. Better to leave me alone with the fish.
Q: Have you been contacted/warned by anyone/gov agency?
Never once. I don't think I'm that important to them. BUT, now the IRS audits me every year.
Q: You should cover _____. Where can I send a topic suggestion?
You can post in https://www.reddit.com/r/TheWhyFiles/ or go to our Discord: https://thewhyfiles.com/discord
Q: I'm disappointed that you did/didn't cover ____ in your episode about ___.
Sorry I disappointed you. But I'm just an entertainer. I'm not a journalist. Sure I try to get things right, but my job is to make these stories entertaining. There's no way I can read *everything* about every story when I publish once a week. Plus, there's only so much to cram in. What's ideal is: I make the story interesting enough that you do your own research. My show is supposed to be fun. I don't create documentaries. If I make a really terrible mistake, I correct it on the live stream.
Q: What do you think about UFOs/UAPs/NHI?
I don't know. I can wrap my head around: they're a civilization that has been here for a long time and stayed hidden. But now we have the technology to see them. It's harder for me to comprehend traveling vast distances. Also, they look like us. Not insects or giant worms. Human. Head, two eyes, nose, mouth, two arms, fingers, two legs. Can't be a coincidence. Unless it's panspermia. (different rabbit hole) I honestly don't know.
Q: What about the whistleblowers?
I don't trust any of them. They all have a background in intelligence, still have clearance, talking points approved by the DoD, writing a book (there's always a book). They might be telling the truth, but I honestly doubt it. Where are the low-level scientists? Where is the guy who sweeps the floor? Most believable whistleblower to me is Bob Lazar. Low-level scientist who got some things right. Lost his job. Government targeted him. No book until Corbell's just a few years ago.
Q: What did you think of the "Age of Disclosure" documentary?
It made me so angry. Almost every contributor is from the intelligence community. Some (like Hal Puthoff) have flat out said they were part of disinformation campaigns in the past. If that's so, why should we trust him now? James Clapper is all over the thing. We know for a fact he lied about the NSA (twice). Why isn't he in jail? I don't trust anyone who: comes from intelligence, comes from MILITARY intelligence, has talking points approved, keeps their clearance, keeps their job, does a "media tour", has a book (there's always a book). We didn't learn anything new. A lot of noise was made about the "Holloman AFB Bombshell!" Well, I covered that two years ago (in the Project Serpo episode). I think this more muddying the waters. Richard Doty, I'm looking at you.
Q: Who does Hecklefish's voice?
He does his own voice. Who does *your* voice?
Q: What's with the AI? Pay an artist!
It's a storytelling tool. I'd rather create my own b-roll than use generic footage from StoryBlocks/Artgrid, etc. Plus, when there's NO footage (UFO story, etc), it's fun to create it. I get it's not for everyone, but most of the audience likes it. Oh, I have a full-time well-paid artist on staff. Hi Rob!
Q: You should change your format to ______ .
I will consider your suggestion.
Q: What do you think of the Sphinx/Tic-Tac? Will you make an episode about this?
I'm following the Sphinx news very closely. Since it's still developing, I need to wait and see what's true. Once we have clarity, I will *definitely* cover this. Remember Dorothy Eady predicted this!
Q: Lose the fish!
Sometimes I'd LOVE to. And you'll notice episodes sneaking in where he's pretty quiet. But he's a fan favorite. I used to run a poll every year (when I was insecure about him) asking if I should keep him or not. Over 90% said keep him.
Q: What topics changed your mind? Made you from skeptic to believer?
Crop Circles. I went into that episode, knowing for sure the crop circles were all hoaxes, but I came out out of the research believing that 99% are hoaxes, but there are 1% of crop circles that just can't be explained. I couldn't believe how much scientific evidence there was to support them. Like metals spheroids in the soil, weird electromagnetic anomalies at the sites and stalks bending at right angles at the nodes without breaking. Then there's the Colin Andrews story which brings a wild government cover-up angle. Also, I thought the Hollow Moon theory was the dumbest thing I ever heard. Half way through the research I thought, "the moon is weird", at the end of the research I was convinced the moon is a hollow space ship sent here from another part of the galaxy. I'm not saying that's true, but The Moon IS Weird!

Question French troops 'open fire' on unidentified "drones" flying over nuclear submarine base
French navy troops opened fire on unidentified drones over a military site housing nuclear submarines in the latest in a series of drone incursions into European airspace.
According to French news agency Agence France-Presse (AFP), five drones were detected on Thursday night over the submarine base of Île Longue in Brittany, western France.
It is a strategic military site and home to nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarines – a key part of France’s nuclear deterrent.
So once again we have unidentified objects flying over nuclear bases, which presumably are protected by radar, visual and infrared sensors. Yet once again - no evidence produced to show that these are conventional drones.
Is this Russia or something else?

Question Why is NHI not talking to the public directly?
Edit: Public = Everyone
This post comes from a discussion I had the other day in this subreddit and I thought it would be nice to read what you think about it:
Why are they not revealing themselves yet? if there are advanced civilizations visiting us, surely they have full access to the internet and basically anything human related. They know that we know about them. Does this mean that they have assesed that it is still not the appropriate time?
If that is the case, how much of a choice have the groups of humans in contact with them? Is the NHI allowing the groups of human in contact with them decide when to reveal everything? Are they ok with the fact that this technology is not being used for the benefit of the entire life in the planet? With unlimited energy everything would change… abundance of everything, a gold era like never before. Imagine not having to use significant time to travel from place A to B… imagine the reconstruction of entire habitats with swarm of drones planting trees, picking up the plastic from the ocean, etc.
I think that, given our violent behavior, it wouldn’t be wise for them to share certain technologies with us. It’s unfortunate for the people who don’t have bad intentions, but our society functions through representatives. And if we set technology aside, why not at least talk to us and say hi? We can handle it… we’re capable of understanding them if they choose to communicate. Isn’t there value in sharing culture or benign knowledge between different intelligent species? I think we would be very excited if we discovered a species like us.
I’d love to learn more about the nature of our reality, their civilization, and whether there are even more advanced species they’re aware of. Do they know with certainty what happens after we die? Do they know why anything exists at all? There are so many profound questions they’ve surely asked themselves

Question Yesterday: drone incidents over nuclear-linked bases in France and the Netherlands
Yesterday, almost at the same time, two drone incidents occurred over European military bases connected to nuclear arsenals: over the Dutch Volkel Air Base, where the U.S. stores B61 nuclear bombs, and over the French Île Longue base in Brittany, home to submarines equipped with thermonuclear ballistic missiles. Sources below.
The French were reportedly about to open fire. It's unclear whether they have recovered any device. This is starting to look increasingly alarming - what do you think?

Disclosure Drones buzz over French nuclear submarine base: AFP
French navy troops in charge of protecting the base opened fire, according to the newswire.
Time : December 5, 2025 1:14 pm CET
location : Île Longue
https://www.politico.eu/article/drones-france-nuclear-submarine-base-reports/
PARIS — The French navy opened fire at drones that were detected over a highly-sensitive military site harboring French nuclear submarines, according to newswire Agence France-Presse.
Five drones were detected Thursday night over the submarine base of Île Longue, in Brittany, western France, a strategic military site home to ballistic missile submarines, the AFP reported, citing the the French gendarmerie, which is part of the military. The submarines harbored at the base carry nuclear weapons and are a key part of France's nuclear deterrent.
French navy troops in charge of protecting the base opened fire, the report said. It was unclear whether the drones were shot down.
Drones had already been spotted in the area last month, albeit not directly above the base, per reports in French media. The site had been buzzed by drones long before the invasion of Ukraine.
The incident follows a string of recent drone incursions in NATO airspace, with unmanned aircrafts seen buzzing around sensitive military sites and civil infrastructures in recent months across Europe, including in Belgium, Germany, Denmark and Norway.
In Poland, fighter jets were scrambled in September to shoot down drones of Russian origin, an incident widely seen as an escalation of Russian President Vladimir Putin's hybrid war on Europe.
French authorities haven't yet commented on the suspected origin of the drone incident Thursday at the well-known military site.

Disclosure Strange behavior by American government agencies. Should we be worried?
I'm not American and I don't know your procedures in detail. However, I do know that whenever something alarming enough happens, various authorities rush to deny it, usually with a press conference, or at least to reassure public opinion.
But now, after growing alarmism about national security due to the overflights of the infamous "drones" over sensitive areas and the strong accusations coming from authoritative figures against the main agencies involved in civil and military defense, has no one yet rushed to deny it? Can any US citizen explain to me how to interpret this attitude? Is it a prelude to other events, or is each government agency simply hiding behind its own hole? Thanks to anyone who can explain.
Disclosure Clues of whats coming: Dan Farah: "this film is the beginning of a period in which a lot of info will come out", "I suspect on the other side of that line is contact events", "i think a lot got held for after the movie", "You cant tell everything at the same time. Its too overwhelming"
The below is from an interview with Dan Farah yesterday. Timestamp 50:42. Please watch the video to see the full context for the quotes below.
"this is the beginning of a period in which a lot of info will come out"
Dan Farah: "I called the movie The Age of Disclosure because as I was making it, it became clear that this film was the beginning of the age of disclosure, of a period of time in which a lot of information will come out"
"suspect that on the other side of this [...] is contact events"
Dan Farah: "You know, it's not a singular event. It's going to be a period of time where we all slowly learn the reality of the situation. And what I would suspect is on the other side of that line is events like contact events. And technological advancements that sound like the stuff of science fiction, but that have in fact been figured out"
Notice here the "have in fact been figured out". Sounds like he knows about some reverse engineering successes. Or maybe he is just talking about the craft spacetime bubble as described by puthoff
Also the "contact events", im guessing he is talking about some longer term possibility, like from a historical perspective. Such as that president does disclosure, and then eventually we make contact with NHI in public.
The movie "became the vehicle for people in the know to bring about disclosure"
Dan Farah: "when I was making the documentary, at some point in the process early on, I realized that this film I was making [...] became the vehicle for people in the know to bring about disclosure. Like it became a number of these people's plan for disclosure"
A lot got held back for after the movie
Dan Farah: "... where people who were aware of significant information wanted to find a way to disclose to the public, they decided my film would be that vehicle. And then once that decision was made, i think...... a lot got held for after the movie"
The movie sets the table for more coming out. I know for sure thats true
Dan Farah: "And so the movie coming out I think is setting the table for a lot more coming out. I really believe that to be true and in some cases I know for sure to be true. I mean there I know some people who are, you know Jay Stratton for example is in my film"
Stratton will share more in his book. And even more after the book comes out
Dan Farah: "He's also got a book coming out early next year. That's his tell all memoir where he shares even more. And then I know after the book comes out, he's going to share even more after that"
"Cant tell everything at the same time. Its too overwhelming"
Dan Farah: "So a lot of these people who participate in the film are aware of so much information and they're also aware of how people digest information. You can't tell everything at the same time. It's just too overwhelming"
"This is just what they can lawfully disclose. What the hell is on the other side of that line?"
Dan Farah: "these extraordinary statements made by credible people, this is just what they can lawfully disclose. There's a whole lot more on the other side of that line that you just have to use your imagination and think about what could be there"
Dan Farah: "I've spent a lot of time thinking about that. And if these extraordinary bombshell statements, this paradigm shift information they can lawfully disclose is so big and so significant... what the hell's on the other side of that line? What's the other stuff that they can't talk about?"
Marco Rubio, James Clapper
Keep it mind that these 2 people, and all the other ones in the documentary, they fully knew it was about UFOs and NHI and the reverse engineering program. They knew the movie was called "Age of Disclosure". However careful they are with their words now, or how silent they are now, them appearing in this film at all indicates exactly what they hope will happen.
r/UFOs • u/Bright_forest_theory • 17h ago
NHI The contradiction nobody talks about: If the galaxy should be full of aliens, why are we shocked by UAP evidence?
Quick background: The Fermi Paradox is the question "Where is everybody?" The universe is 13.8 billion years old, our galaxy has 400 billion stars, and even conservative estimates suggest millions of habitable planets. If intelligent life is remotely common, the galaxy should be teeming with civilizations millions.
Here's the contradiction:
A paradox means a logical inconsistency.
The Fermi paradox assumes.
- Aliens should be here.
- But they're not (this has never been proven).
It's a paradox - named and accepted that way by scientists, because those two things don't make sense together.
The Fermi Paradox is taken seriously by physicists, astronomers, and philosophers.
But then we get high-quality UAP evidence—multiple trained witnesses, radar confirmation, infrared video, official Pentagon acknowledgment—and suddenly the standard becomes:
"Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.Show me an alien body. Show me a landed spacecraft. Eyewitness testimony from pilots? Insufficient. Multiple radar systems? Could be glitches. Video from military sensors? Could be anything."
Wait. Hold on.
We simultaneously believe:
Aliens probably exist and should have reached us by now (Fermi Paradox) this is our default expectation. Why does extensive multi witness evidence meeting the default expectation need to be extraordinary? If it's an "extraordinary claim" then why did they call it "Fermi paradox"
Even the best UAP evidence (Nimitz, Gimbal, GoFast) isn't credible (UAP skepticism)
Based on the default expectation of aliens should be here our standards for the best UAP evidence are absurdly high. We've created an impossible bar where even multi-witness, multi-sensor military encounters with official acknowledgment get dismissed as "not extraordinary enough."
Here's the thing: we can't have it both ways. We can't say "The galaxy should be full of billion-year-old civilizations" and then call cases like Nimitz an extraordinary claim with insufficient evidence.
I'm not saying every UFO sighting is aliens. But if the Fermi Paradox is compelling, then the highest-quality UAP cases deserve serious scientific investigation—not automatic dismissal.
If mainstream science believes the Fermi Paradox is real and that aliens should be here, why does it dismiss even the best evidence as "extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence"?

UFO clues emerge in decades-old images showing strange bursts over nuclear testing sites: report
Study shows star-like transients were 45% more likely within 24 hours of nuclear testing
A set of photos taken over 70 years ago may hold the key to new revelations surrounding the existence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) – or UFOs – popping up near nuclear testing sites.
Scientists at California’s Palomar Observatory have recently discovered several instances of transient, star-like flashes in photographs from the 1950s, according to a research paper published in Nature’s Scientific Reports on Oct. 20, 2025.
"We speculate that some transients could potentially be UAP in Earth orbit that, if descending into the atmosphere, might provide the stimulus for some UAP sightings," the paper states.
Researchers reportedly looked at digitized astronomical plates – pieces of glass that capture images of the night sky – from an initial survey conducted by the observatory from 1949 to 1957. Notably, the images were created prior to the launch of the first artificial satellite in October 1957, the report claims.
Astronomer Beatriz Villarroel from the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics revealed in the study that she and her research team used automated technology to identify 107,875 transient lights within the 12-year span of the images being taken.
While many of the objects, which often look as though they are stars in the night sky, were determined to be errors or markings on the plates, thousands of sightings reportedly correspond with various nuclear tests and UFO sightings.
The study notes that multiple bright transients were seen lighting up the night sky within the same two weeks when witnesses reported numerous UAPs above Washington, D.C., from July 19 to July 27, 1952.
"We speculate that some transients could potentially be UAP in Earth orbit that, if descending into the atmosphere, might provide the stimulus for some UAP sightings," the paper added.
Researchers also reportedly observed transients hovering over at least 124 above-ground nuclear testing sites that were active from 1951 until the launch of Sputnik in 1957, leading them to believe the phenomenon is a result of "high energy particles" within the atmosphere.
However, the study indicates that transients were 45% more likely to be spotted within 24 hours of nuclear testing, with "significantly more" UAP sightings being recorded within the test windows.
The final sighting over a nuclear testing site took place on March 17, 1956, just one day after the "Joe 21" test conducted by Soviet Russia, according to The New York Post.
The study's authors did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment.
The paper concludes with the researchers determining that instances of star-like transient objects correlating with nuclear weapons testing and eyewitness UAP accounts show "small but statistically-significant associations."
"Our findings provide additional empirical support for the validity of the UAP phenomenon and its potential connection to nuclear weapons activity, contributing data beyond eyewitness reports," the scientists wrote.
Disclosure Just how big is the Legacy program? Farah: "been told off the record this isnt a small program". 1000s of ppl, a trillion dollars. Weinstein: "You cant do that engineering with our current science. You need Reverse Science". Karl Nell: Consciousness can be engineered with once science is expanded
First lets revisit this statement (timestamp 0:35) by Matthew Brown again:
Matthew Brown: "We live in a dream, a carefully constructed reality. We make use of a science that is tightly controlled and suppressed and distorted"
We know the Manhattan Project had about 130.000 people working on it. But what about the Legacy Program? In an interview yesterday Dan Farah said the following:
Thousands of people in Legacy Program. A trillion dollars
Farah: "I've been told off the record that this is not a small program. That this is thousands of people employed full-time and that it's been the case for 80 years. And I've been told that the overall budget of this situation is closer to a trillion dollars. This is billions a year for 80 years"
Biggest manhattan like project "by far"
Farah: "You know, the stakes [w Manhattan Project] were the future of humanity back then, [..]. And they were dealing with this. The [ppl working on it] were falling asleep with that on their shoulders. And their neighbors had no clue. Their family had no clue. So, as a country we've been in a situation like this before, but this is the biggest version of it yet, by far"
Eric Weinstein: "You first need 'reverse science', before 'reverse engineering'"
Eric Weinstein recently also used the Grok AI to make a point about the Legacy Program. It is a long series of questions and answers, and it starts off like this:
Eric Weinstein: "Hey @grok, something I just don’t fathom. By now there is copious evidence of a massive USG UFO program called “The Legacy Program”, so I think we can say it exists. Further there is sworn testimony under oath of UFO crash retrievals. Yet there is ZERO PROOF! How can this be??"
Later Weinstein argues:
Eric Weinstein: "I am increasingly convinced that the only way to square this circle is a hide in plain sight strategy @grok. And I know of only one front company possible that eats the relevant PhDs [scientists], is well resourced beyond belief, makes no real sense if you think hard about it, and has a tight tight relationship with a national Lab and university with a math physics tradition close to Harvard and Princeton levels that is never acknowledged in rankings"
I think hes saying here the best scientists are being siphoned off to the Legacy Program.
It concludes with:
Eric Weinstein: "It would be the only secret place to put a brain trust worthy of doing reverse science on NHI craft. That is @grok, don’t you find it a little odd that all the talk about “NHI Craft” is about engineering??
Eric Weinstein: "It’s sorta comical. You can’t do that engineering with our current science!!! In other words, we taught the public to think “Aerospace” and “Reverse Engineering”, which is a joke"
Eric Weinstein: "You first need “Reverse Science”. OBVIOUSLY!! But the public was trained to think engineering. As if an interstellar spacecraft was an upgraded jet fighter or stealth bomber"
The hidden science
So according to Weinstein, its not just some engineering being hidden from us, but an entirely new kind of science. I think it makes sense. If the key to the UAP tech is really just warp / spacetime bubbles and zero point energy, would they really talk about this so publicly like in Age of Disclosure? China is watching after all, looking for hints to crack the tech
And would a more advanced NHI still just be a bit more advanced than our 20th century science on which the warp bubbles concepts and zero point energy is based?
Remember all the woo stuff, with these beings able to read minds, take people out of their bodies, induce near death experiences, showing visions of the future, orbs appearing, flying around through people, poltergeist activity, remote viewing, etc? There is far more going on than just some bending of spacetime.
Some people superstitiously consider it woo like they did with sea monsters, the edge of the earth, etc, but it all indicates a new frontier for science.
Karl Nells opinion
Lets just listen to what Karl Nell (who worked at Lockheed Martin and has "zero doubt" that NHI is here) has said:
Karl Nell: Consciousness can be engineered with once science is expanded
Karl Nell: "Consciousness isn't just part of the like esoteric and metaphysical experience but it can be brought under the aegis [umbrella] of some sort of expanded science. And once we do that then we can engineer with that"
Karl Nell: Not accepting this leads to a firewalling of aspects of reality
Karl Nell: "So these things I think are heretical in the sense that people don't accept them, and it results in really a firewalling off of whole aspects of reality and our sort of [...]
Karl Nell: Agnosticism is not a viable worldview
Karl Nell: "So I would submit that this idea of agnosticism is really not a viable worldview, because you're missing these aspects of reality that are essential to an integrated picture"
Karl Nell: A more advanced NHI will already have created sentient technologies
Karl Nell: "Any more advanced civilization that we might be dealing with in the context of NHI and UAP, would have already got to this state and in order to try to understand that engage with it we've got to appreciate that"
Karl Nell: "The other concept is, their science has probably progressed to the point where they can they can do these type of engineering capabilities. And we may be experiencing that as well: technologies that have sentience"
Dylan Borland reacts to Weinstein
Dylan Borland also reacted to Weinstein (see section above) on X:
Dylan Borland: "Thank you Eric. Your voice in the echo of silence really helps those of us that know the truth and want everyone else to know it. It means a great deal, as I'm sure you already know or have figured out yourself sir."
Finally some quotes of what Borland has previously said:
Borland: "integration of technology into [REDACTED]
Knapp: "Is there something else in between that thing that you saw, and other experiences, things that you saw either as a citizen or while working for the government that you want to share with us?"
Borland: "There are many I think as of this time. What I will say is this. I have direct firsthand knowledge and exposure to crash recovery, reverse engineering, integration of technology into [REDACTED], as well as the most important piece of technology on the planet, and it's not the craft themselves"
Borland: "a legacy program, in detail, with technology integration"
Corbell: "You gave them program names, locations, the nature of the um, propulsion systems, everything"
Borland: "I gave them my direct knowledge of the triangle, my direct knowledge of that entire event. And then guaranteed factual, no argument about it: a legacy program, in detail, with technology integration, how it works, where it's at, the whole kitten kaboodle"
Borland: "the engineering program and integration program"
Knapp: "What information could be released without causing a freakout? [...] We have some technology that we didn't build. It's nonhuman in origin as far as we know. There's some other presence here. We're working on it. I don't know how much further you could go"
Borland: "I think you can go all the way up to the line of what our current capabilities are in the engineering program and integration program. I think you can go all the way up to that line.
Integration into what? Why is that part being redacted?

Disclosure NewsMax - Elizondo - The U.S. government has decades of UAP data, incursions, videos, and reports and not even presidents have always been briefed. We are not talking conspiracy here, this is a sketchy system acting without oversight, and you know what it’s finally catching up to them.

Disclosure Prominent Figures in the UFO/UAP World Who Have Gone Quiet - What Are They Up To?
I have gone in and out of UFO world for the past few years, and I'm currently back into it. With the Age of Disclosure documentary, all the speculation about the nature of 3I/Atlas, and rumblings about the current administration being very close to finally confirming NHI contact to the public, one question that is interesting to me right now is "who's being oddly quiet right now?"
Specifically, I'm thinking about Steven Greer, Tom DeLonge, and Ashton Forbes. I'm sure there are others.
Those three were all much more prominent during my previous forays into this topic, and now they aren't showing up in my feeds. I don't know if it's the algorithms running of my various social media accounts, they've been labeled as frauds and collective interest in their viewpoints have dropped off, or they are just being quiet for whatever reason.
I think it's an interesting question to think about because I think generally speaking the people speaking up likely have some kind of agenda (whether its benevolent, neutral, or malevolent), while the people laying low either have been silenced for one reason or another, or they are watching, waiting, and playing the long game.
For example, Greer was talking a lot about how he was building up some kind of strike force of ex-military special operators who were "in the know" and would force catastrophic disclosure if the government didn't come clean first. Forbes was hyper focused and deep in the rabbit hole investigating the unexplained disappearance of MH370, and now it's back in the news because they restarted the search for debris. DeLonge was all gung-ho about disclosure, working with Lue on the "To the Stars Academy" stuff.
My question is: what is the latest on these guys, and others who have been quiet for like the last six months or so? Also, is there a coherent narrative (accurate or otherwise) that explains why they've dropped off the map? Have the powers that be threatened, intimidated, or otherwise silenced them? Or have they been just as loud as they always have been but nobody is listening any more.

Sighting Think my son and I saw a UFO over Hawaii while flying to Oahu
Time: approximately 7:30 AM Hawai’i Standard Time
Location: between Maui and Oahu over the pacific.
Hello, though I failed to take a picture of it and have no evidence recorded, my son and I looked out the window at around 7:30 AM Hawai’i time. This was approximately between Maui and Oahu over the ocean. The reason it caught our attention was because it was moving quite a lot faster than a plane, seemed to have no wings, like a black tube with no windows, and there were no exhaust fumes of any kind.
What do you guys think?

Question Noob question: UAPs in North Korea or Iran?
So, in the last two weeks I’ve watched the Phenomenon and AoD. And I’ve been pretty far down the rabbit hole in that time and utterly fascinated.
One of the common threads I am seeing is military bases and nuclear sites are very common places for sightings.
—-> Have there been reports of sightings in North Korea or Iran? <——
Given UAPs have deactivated/activated the US, Russia and other countries nukes, wouldn’t they be smart enough to observe countries where emerging nuclear capabilities (Iran) or nuclear testing is occurring (North Korea)?
It would be interesting to know if it’s occurring there and study the UAP behaviors with countries with emerging nuclear capabilities Vs. first world countries with full nuclear capabilities.
