One of the biggest names in scientific skepticism, Michael Shermer, has come to debate the strongest UFO cases ever recorded. More than 50 years of well documented UFO incursions at American nuclear weapon sites, the 2004 Nimitz “Tic Tac” encounter, what really crashed at Roswell, and the disappearance or deaths of a dozen scientists working on top secret technology are laid out in a tense exchange with the new member of the White House UAP Science Advisory Council. Shermer is the founding publisher of Skeptic Magazine, the author of more than a dozen books on belief and pseudoscience, and is betting that no major scientific institution will confirm an alien presence by the end of 2030.

Missouri Congressman Eric Burlison reveals that senior intelligence officials investigating a UAP encounter at a U.S. military installation in the western United States personally watched three-meter glowing plasma orbs interact with a helicopter and chase F-16 fighter jets scrambled to intercept them, an event so significant it elevated the government’s UAP investigation from a low priority case to a top ten national security concern.

Burlison, a member of the House Oversight Committee, says he was the first elected official briefed on the incident, by a team originally assembled under Tulsi Gabbard’s office. He also confirms he personally toured Naval Air Station Patuxent River, the site allegedly slated to receive a craft transferred from Lockheed Martin to Bigelow Aerospace, and sat down with Navy scientist Salvatore Pais, whose patents on inertial mass reduction and gravitational wave generation read like a blueprint for anti-gravity propulsion. Pais reportedly told him the government’s prototype was never built to his actual specifications, and a properly built version may have produced very different results.

For decades, U.S. intelligence (namely, the CIA and Office of Naval Intelligence) has been quietly shaping what Hollywood tells the public about UFOs, hiding truths in plain sight. Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, creators of the 1996 NBC alien-themed series Dark Skies, say a man claiming to be Naval Intelligence showed up at their own premiere party already knowing what was in their unaired pilot, and offered them a trade: classified access for guidance on their future scripts. Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Poltergeist Director Tobe Hooper told Brent that Steven Spielberg got the same offer after Jaws, took the deal, and went on to make Close Encounters and E.T.. Separately, Brent Friedman says his family friend John Herrington who later became Secretary of Energy (Head of the entire Department of Energy) told him privately after a few drinks that aliens are real and he’s seen them. Official attempts have been made to get Herrington (now 87) to testify about these claims, but he’s ignored them. Friedman himself also reports of having had an encounter with a “Nordic” alien being. This was one of the wildest episodes we’ve ever filmed. Live now.

Gifted and Talented Education (GATE) in the United States has been systematically used to identify children with anomalous cognitive and “psychic” abilities and funnel them into covert psychic development programs. Jordan Jozak says he was plucked out of a standard GATE test in rural New York at age nine, the start of a years-long grooming process that pulled him out of his school, away from his parents, and eventually into a facility where he was administered substances and subjected to experiments he was never meant to remember. These experiments involved remote viewing, mind-matter interactions (with random event generators), brain mapping using EEG’s and even remote control flight of UFOs or UAP. Jordan also reveals he was shown an ancient archeological object to see if he could mentally interact with it (he was successful). Jozak was quietly pulled from class for years, told he was special for his precocious ability to visualize and empathize; he was meant to tell no one. His teachers were never informed. When he started resisting around the age of twelve, a fabricated mental health diagnosis was used to remove him from public school entirely despite his parents’ own apprehensions. He was placed at Baker Victory Services, a Catholic-affiliated special education facility in Lackawanna County, Western New York, where a segregated part of the building ran a dual-use defense contractor-backed program while the rest served ordinary special education children. Jozak believes MITRE corporation, which is being actively investigated by Congressman Eric Burlison for its role in UFO legacy efforts, was involved in using Baker Victory Services for this experimental research. This was the plot of Stranger Things playing out in reality across America.
