Preserving Anomalous Materials: UFO Conferences, Sensationalism, and Government Manipulation

 

**Seven thousand books dedicated to anomalous materials sit in Austin, Texas, waiting to tell their stories.** Smiles Lewis just returned from Eureka Springs, Arkansas—home to America’s longest-running UFO conference—and he’s got plenty to unpack. The nonprofit Anomaly Archives is pushing forward with digitization plans, making their vast collection of periodicals and rare materials accessible to researchers everywhere.

 

From AI-generated jellyfish UFOs near Halifax to Tucker Carlson’s controversial claims about angels and demons in Congress, Lewis doesn’t hold back. He’s particularly concerned about spiritual explanations replacing scientific investigation. (That’s a dangerous road, honestly.) Jacques Vallée scholar Jason Samoza suggests the real threat isn’t the phenomenon itself—it’s humans manipulating public beliefs about it, something that’s been happening since at least 1979.

 

The episode also explores how Mothman transformed from John Keel’s 1966 UFO-related bird sighting into today’s confused cultural icon, and examines Dr. James Lukatzky’s revelations about OSAP, the $22 million secret government UFO program that Senator Harry Reid championed. What exactly were those fifty investigators documenting in their massive database?

 

**Dive into this episode to explore where anomalous research meets government secrecy.**

  • **Government agencies have been concerned about controlling UFO narratives since 1979**, not just recently—suggesting decades of strategic preparation around public belief manipulation rather than genuine disclosure efforts.

 

  • **Authentic anomalous phenomena would naturally attract massive attention without need for sensationalism**, making the prevalence of AI-generated videos and exaggerated claims a sign of credibility problems in the current discourse.

 

  • **Religious frameworks (angels/demons) gaining Congressional traction on UFO topics actively hinders genuine scientific investigation**, representing a regression from evidence-based analysis to belief-based interpretation.

 

Smiles Lewis welcomes listeners back to Anomaly Now, a nonprofit podcast dedicated to preserving and educating the public about anomalous materials. Based in Austin, Texas, the organization maintains over seven thousand books and thousands of periodicals, with plans to expand digitization efforts for remote access. Lewis recently returned from visiting family in Eureka Springs, Arkansas, home to America’s longest-running UFO conference. He highlights newly available content, including a rediscovered 2014 lecture by late paranormal researcher Rob Riggs on the Texas Bigfoot enigma and Greg Bishop’s recent presentation questioning whether materialism can solve UFO mysteries. Listeners can support the mission through Patreon and access materials via their website and YouTube channel. The speaker discusses recently released content available through their Patreon, including early access materials and archival content. They recount a 2009 experience when a producer from the web series Streets of Fear contacted them about paranormal activity on Convict Hill Road in Austin, Texas. The speaker notes that while the resulting webisode was humorous and poorly produced, it exemplified how television and web producers often push for specific narratives regardless of factual accuracy. They emphasize that no paranormal evidence actually exists for the location. Additionally, the speaker critiques sensationalized UFO reporting from outlets like International Business Times, suggesting such coverage often lacks genuine investigation or verification of the footage being discussed. The speaker discusses a viral UFO video allegedly captured by a cargo ship near Halifax, Canada, featuring jellyfish-shaped objects hovering over water. While acknowledging the footage is visually beautiful and creative, the speaker identifies it as almost certainly artificial intelligence-generated, noting the telltale signs of AI in the entities, water effects, and layered audio combining angelic sounds with helicopter-like noises. Despite headlines claiming it sparked a “major frenzy,” the speaker expresses skepticism about its actual impact, noting the lack of genuine widespread attention compared to truly astounding phenomena. The speaker emphasizes that such remarkable evidence would generate significant attention if authentic. The speaker discusses several UFO-related videos and news stories, including footage from a Mexican politician showing mysterious orbs floating over his ranch property. While acknowledging the footage is visually interesting, the speaker expresses skepticism about its authenticity, noting that it appears to be artistic rather than genuine. The conversation then shifts to criticism of a Tucker Carlson article promoting a narrative that U.S. government officials believe UFO phenomena are connected to angels and demons. The speaker expresses concern about this spiritual explanation gaining traction in Congress, arguing that without scientific application, such beliefs don’t advance genuine knowledge about UFO phenomena. The speaker discusses recent claims by Tucker Carlson suggesting UFOs represent angels and demons, with allegations that the U.S. government has hidden these entities and made deals for nuclear technology. The speaker expresses concern about linking UFO phenomena to religious concepts, warning against the dangers of “othering” through such language. They then recommend Jacques Vallée scholar Jason Samoza’s YouTube analysis of Vallée’s Forbidden Science journals, particularly volume six covering 2010-2019. According to Samoza’s work, Vallée and associates like Robert Bigelow identified an emerging threat not from the phenomenon itself, but from humans manipulating public beliefs about it since at least 1979. The speakers discuss Jacques Vallée’s observations from around 2013 suggesting government insiders were preparing a coordinated campaign regarding UFO phenomena, focusing on “confirmation” rather than traditional disclosure. They highlight Tom DeLonge’s early warnings about something significant emerging from government and intelligence circles, supported by figures like Jeremy Corbell. A key issue repeatedly emphasized by Joe Rogan involves “mass amnesty”—the idea that disclosure might protect previous actors from accountability for illegal secrecy. The upcoming “Age of Disclosure” documentary, premiering November 21st with theatrical and streaming releases, appears to represent this long-anticipated campaign materializing, featuring government and intelligence officials finally speaking publicly about UFO-related matters. The speaker discusses the evolving mythology surrounding Mothman, referencing Sharon A. Hill’s article about how the cryptid has transformed since its 1966 origins. Initially described as a large bird in a UFO-related context by John Keel, Mothman has become a confusing cultural icon blending monster, alien, and paranormal narratives. The speaker notes that early descriptions depicted the creature hovering and moving like a UFO rather than flying conventionally, keeping pace with cars at high speeds. Over decades, Mothman’s meaning has shifted dramatically, now appearing in popular culture as everything from a threatening entity to a fantasy character, reflecting how cryptid lore intersects with broader paranormal phenomenon research. The speaker discusses a creative bookstore display featuring a Mothman figure recommending cryptid and paranormal-related books, including “The United States of Cryptids” by J.W. Ocker. The conversation shifts to the ‘Oumuamua comet controversy, where the speaker clarifies that while some promote it as an alien spacecraft using AI-generated content, its behavior is consistent with normal comet physics, though an extraterrestrial origin remains unlikely. The speaker also highlights George Knapp’s extensive reporting on UFO research and his recent partnership with Jeremy Korbel on their show Weaponized, where they interview James Lekatzky, the former head of a secret government UFO program who suggests it may be disinformation. Dr. James Lukatzky, a former Defense Intelligence Agency scientist, revealed details about OSAP, the largest secret U.S. government UFO investigation ever conducted in Las Vegas. Inspired by incidents at Utah’s Skinwalker Ranch, Lukatzky designed and managed the program with a team of fifty investigators, producing 115 documents housed in a massive UFO database. The program operated under the premise that a real technological race exists between the United States, Russia, and China to understand and replicate mysterious aircraft technology. Senator Harry Reid championed the $22 million initiative, recognizing the stakes as critically important to national security. The speaker highlights a diverse array of fascinating content across multiple paranormal and cryptozoology platforms. Notable features include The Wow Signal’s intriguing articles on extreme experiencers and haunted frequencies, Chester Moore Jr.’s Dark Outdoors podcast series covering topics like feral humans and giant catfish attacks, and Tim Bonal and Joshua Kutchen’s Bigfoot Trek expedition discussion. The speaker particularly emphasizes Sharon Taggart’s compelling essay series “Photography and the Invisible,” which explores spiritualism’s intersection with photographic history, examining how photographers have attempted to capture unseen phenomena like ghosts and psychic powers since the 1800s. The host highlights several fascinating archaeological discoveries, including the Galt Archaeological Site in Texas that challenges conventional understanding of human history, mysterious underground chambers, potential Maya cosmic maps, and evidence of Neanderthal cave art. The host encourages listeners to explore these topics through provided links and invites support for Anomaly Archives, a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to preserving and sharing information about anomalous archaeological materials through their website and Patreon community.

 

TRANSCRIPT

 

Hello and welcome back. Welcome to another live edition. Actually, it’s pre -recorded as usual lately. Welcome to another edition of Anomaly Now, straight out of here in Austin, Texas. I am your host, Smiles Lewis. This is the weekly 501c3 nonprofit Anomaly Archives and Scientific Anomaly Institute News and Media Roundup. Been a while. Went out of town for a week, visited family, got to see my mom. Went to Eureka Springs, Arkansas.

 

You know, that’s where the now longest running UFO conference in America has been happening. Changed hands a few times. I’ve only ever been to one of them way back in 2005. I got to start going to those. Anyway, so it’s good to be back here, back in the saddle, so to speak. And hope you all had a great Halloween. And hope you, if you celebrate or. reflect on our recent American Veterans Day here in the United States. Peace and prosperity for all. That’s what I want. That’s what you should want. And disclosure. You should want disclosure. You should want transparency in government, revealing of all that’s been hidden or something like that. I don’t know. Anyway,

 

Anyway,

 

again, thank you for joining us. Please like and subscribe, hit the notification bell, all that good stuff. You know the drill. It all does help spread the message, our nonprofit message of preservation of anomalous materials and public education about the contents of those materials. We have over 7 ,000 books in our collection here in Austin, Texas. We have thousands of periodicals. We are going to increase, hopefully soon, our digitization, providing more virtual long -distance access for all to those materials. And yeah, we do monthly… live online events through our patron community that can be found over at patreon .com of course our website is anomalyarchives .org and we have all the links that we’ll be talking about and more posted at our website but also over at our flipboard .com slash at anomaly archives like i mentioned our patreon is over at Patreon .com slash anomaly archives. Very easy to remember. If you can remember how to spell anomaly one, a two, a three, a four. I’m already being too silly. Okay. Enough of that.

 

Well, yes, you can find out more about us at anomaly archives .org. Go to our Patreon, all that, blah, blah, blah, blah. So what else we’ve been doing? So we, we have been continuing to make past. lectures available for you these lectures from a year ago so of course we have been doing lectures mostly in person in the past but post pandemic for the last five or six years we’ve been doing more virtual stuff but yeah back in 2014 was one of the last presentations by paranormal cryptozoologist rob riggs good friend miss him dearly since he passed a few years ago but we resurrected an article, excuse me, one of his last lectures from back in July of 2014. And now we’ve made that available to the public through our YouTube channel and our website. You can go to the website, our YouTube channel, youtube .com slash anomaly archives. See, it’s so simple. And you can sign up for notifications there about these kinds of things. And that presentation was, of course, Rob Riggs talking about the Texas Bigfoot enigma and his experience investigating it ever since his childhood, his young adulthood, and on into his final years. He was a fantastic human, loved him so much, and this him dearly. But you can watch that or listen to the audio only if you prefer. There’s actually not a video of it per se, but we did one of those audiograms for you. And, of course, we have recently made public our October 2024 lecture by Greg Bishop. Greg Bishop, of course, presenting on Can Hard Data and Materialism Solve the UFO Enigma? Short answer, no, probably not. But you probably already knew that. But I, as always, highly recommend anything Greg has to say. Really interested to hear. his his upcoming report on the soul foundation conference that happened over in italy he apparently did get to attend and looking forward to hearing more about that and if you are interested in that we’ll have links in the show notes but yes among the links that regarding reviews of the soul foundation there’s Links to a couple of different videos, one by Ryan Sprague, Somewhere in the Skies channel, as well as That UFO Podcast, I think is what the title is. Another one. And of course, either probably Keith Basterfield over at UAP Scientific Research Blogspot has posted a brief synopsis of the lineup, hopefully with reviews to come. I’m not sure if they were able to attend. But yeah, so among the other things that we’ve released recently through… our Patreon, and then we give early access to our patrons through the Patreon. So even if you join for free, you’re likely to get access to some early access content as well as other free content, which then we do eventually make public on our website. And in fact, this flashback from several years ago, I think it was 2009. Yes, early October 2009, I was contacted by an associate producer of the online webisode series Streets of Fear, as my article written back in 2010 says, who was wanting to know if I knew anything paranormal or mysterious about Convict Hill Road here in Austin, Texas. And yeah,

 

that was quite an experience. And you can learn more about that by going to the link here to the Anomaly Archives webpage for that. Yeah, these webisodes for FearNet’s Streets of Fear series aren’t really available unless you dig them up through archive .org. And so I was making this one that I featured in available. And in fact, let’s go ahead and we’ll play that two -minute video for you.

 

play that two -minute video for you. These webisodes, as they were back then, were very, very short and kind of funny,

 

of funny, honestly. Yeah. here we go where is it oh my gosh yeah spider doing his best billy idol impersonation oh no oh it’s it’s so ridiculous yeah there was nothing paranormal about convict hill road or that little convict hill road park there are no bodies

 

my gosh yeah spider doing his best billy idol impersonation oh no oh it’s it’s so ridiculous yeah there was nothing paranormal about convict hill road or that little convict hill road park there are no bodies Nobody has ever found any bodies. There’s very little in the way of information about any paranormal hauntings associated with that spot or the surrounding areas. It would not be surprising if there are, in fact, convicts buried there or in and around that area. But yeah, anyway, that was a fun experience, but a great example of how the TV producers, or in this case, web episode producers, really want. a certain narrative and they’re going to make you speak it so that they can get what they want out of you. But yeah. Anyway, you can read more about my experience about that over on the anomaly archives website, my good friend Mack white. And I talked about it more back in 2009, right after it happened. I haven’t made that audio available yet. It used to be available online. And if you, if you’ve got good web sleuthing skills, you can find it. But anyway, yeah, we’ll do a better audio version of that someday. All right. So moving right along. And that was a happy late Halloween for you. Right. So, you know, I don’t normally show I don’t like to show necessarily a lot of videos of alleged UFO footage on the channel here, but you’re on the show here. But obviously people are always interested in. you know oh there’s all these thousands of ufo sightings every year why aren’t there better videos well there are some great videos out there but more than likely they’re complete and utter bs and a website that you might see a lot of utter bs on is the ibtimes .co .uk that’s the international business times over at ibtimes .co .uk yeah This headline trending, unbelievable footage from Canadian cargo ship sparks major UFO sighting frenzy. Does it? Does it really? Canadian cargo ship footage sparks UFO frenzy with mysterious object seen hovering and speeding into the night sky. I have a feeling this was written not by Marty Virgil Bays, but an AI by that name.

 

AI by that name. I don’t think whoever wrote this or whatever wrote this actually. watch the footage, which if it’s an AI, I guess it could ingest the footage, but you’d think it would come up with something better than this article. The article does try to give you a little bit more on background and does say, of course, it remains unverified, but they just try to link it to other famous aquatic USO, unidentified submarine objects or unidentified submerged object reports. Of course, that’s been getting a lot more press lately because of that Enigma Labs report that was not particularly good. But it’s always a fascinating area for anybody interested in these subjects. And since the majority of the planet is covered by water, the majority of UFO reports happen above or near or in bodies of water. So there you go. But I do want to play this video because, first of all, it’s… It’s beautiful. It’s creative. It’s very cool, but it totally is likely AI. The video’s titled UFO Sighting, Unbelievable Footage Captured by Cargo Ship in Canada. I saw somewhere that this was identified as being in Halifax. But yeah, this article is worthless. The video is pretty much worthless, but it’s beautiful and entertaining. And therefore… It seems worth a look. Check this out here and you can tell us what you think in the comments or email us at contact at anomalyarchives .org.

 

And basically it just repeats. You know, seriously,

 

I find it beautiful and it really reminds me of stuff I recently saw. I met someone a couple of weeks ago. who was from Canada. I thought they said they were from Halifax or Nova Scotia. I couldn’t, I can’t quite recall, but they said that a friend of theirs who lives back there had been sending them these video clips of all this UFO activity. And they were asking me and others about whether we’d heard anything about like a UFO flap happening up there. And of course we were all like, no. And then they showed us these, she showed us these videos. or one of them. And it really reminds me of this kind of footage where it looks like very angelic light phenomena. So for those listening, there’s a link in the show notes. You can go and watch it if you care. But it clearly just seems like it’s AI. It starts with two mushroom or jellyfish -shaped objects hovering over the bay, seemingly sucking up water. creating almost like a water spout phenomena. It’s hard to say like beyond the ships or the entities, whatever they are supposed to be, you know, besides those clearly being likely AI, the water also is probably an effect. There’s so much, so many of these canned AI video effects nowadays. And of course, you know, there’s two sets of sounds going on. There’s the kind of angelic slash whale like sounds. that certainly are evocative and give a spooky vibe and can’t seemingly go well with this imagery of these creatures. Are they ships? Are they craft? No, they seem more like living entities. And so, okay, and then there’s a secondary sound that sounds almost like a helicopter to me, but I think it’s supposed to be the sound of the cargo ship. I think this is all contrived. I think it’s all just layered, fake. Maybe there was original sounds from whales or original sounds from a paddle boat or a helicopter, but yeah.

 

But is this really causing a wave of social media content or uproar? I doubt it. I hadn’t seen anything or heard anything about it. I mean, I came across this link because, well, of our good friends over at anomalist .com posting about it, but I think that was where I saw it. Yeah. Unbelievable footage from Canadian cargo ship sparks major UFO sighting frenzy. No frenzy. I mean, I’m sure it’s gotten retweeted, reticked talked, reposted. I’m sure there’s lots of comments on all those platforms that are posting about it. You know, we got that clip from a YouTube channel version of it, but you would have heard something. If something as astounding as that, or like the video that the young lady showed us recently that I’m, was reminding me of this, you would hear about it. They can’t cover up that kind of stuff unless they really do have men in black, you know, memory erasers. Anyway. Yeah. Like I said, I don’t typically show this kind of stuff, but it’s beautiful footage. I really, I do enjoy that kind of thing. Even as I’m like, come on folks, nobody should believe that that’s real. It’s just art at this point. Okay. Well, There was another video that I want to share. This one is… Oh, yeah. Where was that? I think it was brought to my attention by our friend Tim Banal over at the Coast to Coast AM website. Oh, darn it. I don’t think I have that. Oh, here we go. Watch. Mexican politician shares footage of… eerie orbs floating around his property. Yeah, let me see if I can get that over here. And there, there we go. Now you can see it.

 

Mexican politician shares footage of eerie orbs floating around his property. Tim Bernal writes, a Mexican politician was left scratching his head after security cameras filmed eerie orbs floating around his property on multiple occasions. Jaime Rodriguez, who previously served as governor of Nuevo León and ran for the Mexican presidency in 2018, reportedly shared a compilation video featuring such incidents on his Facebook page last week, explaining that the strange scenes were captured at his ranch in the community of Icomole. That’s sorry for the pronunciation. The politician asked if anyone could explain the puzzling balls of light scene moving with remarkable speed along the hills on the property. When someone noted the sounds of the site’s resident dogs and cats seemingly becoming perturbed by the illuminated interlopers, Rodriguez agreed with the observation, indicating that it’s what caught my attention the most. As one might imagine, various theories were offered from what was filmed on the politics of the property, with some suggesting the orbs were alien visitors and others proposing that the lights could be some kind of natural phenomenon. What do you make? Blah, blah, blah. And yeah, here is that video.

 

Unfortunately, I heard the name Jaime Masson just mentioned. That worries me.

 

Okay, there’s no more narration or sound here. But basically, we have mostly reddish -orange balls of light that are going over a hillside, up and down it. At one point, it kind of looks like there could be a road, but it does seem to be almost like following ravines. Then there’s this one shot where something goes from out of the sky into the ground, seemingly, and… what looks like flame erupts. That flame looks a little suspect to me. It looks like it could be a flame, a digital flame effect. Hard to say. Yeah. Anyway, it, you know, it’s interesting. I mean, considering my interest in BOL, ball of light phenomenon and ball lightning and how many UFO reports are just points of light, it’s intriguing. It would seem like it could easily be faked. Again, not that extraordinary, but interesting enough that I thought I’d share it with you. Again, you can read about that and find the link. Thanks to our friend Tim Banal over at coast2coastam .com. Right. Moving right along. Back to disreputable news websites. ibtimes .co .uk. Oh, my gosh. Tucker Carlson says U .S. government, quote, made a deal with demons for nuclear technology. Yes, folks, the pushing of this narrative that there are people in the government who believe that UFO phenomena are related to angels and demons. I mean, obviously, I don’t I don’t mean to disparage anyone’s beliefs, spiritual or otherwise, but it would be hard. It’s it’s like. It’s like talking about the paranormal, you know, unless you can apply science to it, it doesn’t really do us much good in advancing our knowledge. It may advance the plot if there is one. Subheading of this article, a UFO religion believing in angels and demons is influencing Congress as scientific debate over objects like 3i Atlas and UAP disclosure intensifies. Right up front, the article says this is the exact, let’s see. A strange new faith is quietly spreading through the halls of American power. Forget little green men. The belief system posits this belief system posits that UFOs are not extraterrestrial, but supernatural angels and demons. This is the exact claim media personality Tucker Carlson recently made during an early November 2025 appearance on the Megyn Kelly show. He separately suggested on Steve Bannon’s war room podcast that the U S government is hiding these spiritual entities and may even have made a deal with them to receive. nuclear technology. Yeah, wow. It goes on later to say, this heightened faith -based search for the other creates a complex environment where science and speculation collide. The public’s intense focus on UAP means that every new anomaly in the sky is scrutinized not just by scientists, but by those looking for confirmation of their beliefs. This phenomenon was on full display with the recent interstellar visitor 3i Atlas. No kidding. Comet or a cover -up? Yeah, it goes on to talk more about the whole Three -Eye Atlas thing. But wow, yeah. And of course, it’s Stephen Greenstreet, again, not the most reputable journalist out there for the New York Post, tweeting about this. Tucker Carlson tells Megyn Kelly that UFOs are angels and demons and says the U .S. government is hiding these spiritual entities from the public. Carlson also suggests the U .S. government made a deal with demons to receive nuclear technology. To me, that is a startling idea, especially given this… recent proliferation promoting of the idea of the connectedness between UFO, UAP sightings and nuclear vessels, nuclear power plants and nuclear missile facilities, whether they be the manufacturing facilities or the housing and launch facilities. But, you know, you can also talk about connections, excuse me, to other types of power plants, you know, and even the high power. tension, electricity lines. A lot of people have tried to link these phenomena to these things, and some of it may have a very naturalistic explanation.

 

But it is interesting, especially if you’re aware, Tucker Carlson, of course, has made the claim that he felt like he was attacked by a demon in his bed one night. I think he continues to talk about that. I do… When people start talking about race and the various types of alien entities that are allegedly part of the UFO phenomena, the source of the UFO phenomena, and then also talk about religious things like angels and demons, this always worries me because of the potential for othering and the heightened dangers created by that kind of language. I’ll just leave it at that. Meanwhile, speaking about vaguely related subjects is, I don’t know if you’re familiar with a web, a YouTube channel by a gentleman named Jason Samosa. And he’s been doing a lot of really good deep dives into Jacques Vallée. And I was, I’ve been very impressed by his analysis of Jacques’s oeuvre. particularly like so many who’ve been diving deep into the wealth of information that is available in Jacques’ forbidden science journals that he’s been publishing in decade -length volumes, now up to volume six, which deals with 2010 to 2019, I believe. Well, in fact, yes, 2010 to 2019. Highly recommend this book. Forbidden Science, Six Scattered Castles. The Journals of Jacques Vallée, 2010 and 2019. Yeah, I just finished watching this video by Jason Samosa today, and he has some great pull quotes from this volume six. You know, I’m not even halfway through it. I keep getting distracted. I’d intended to catch up on it this past week, but… Yes, definitely go check out Jason Samosa’s channel and content. Everything he’s done on Jacques Vallée, I highly recommend. And I think you’ll learn something here. But what’s the gist? He basically is pointing out how as far back as 2013, Jacques and those associated with ASAP, ATIP, Robert Bigelow, that whole NIDS 2 .0 group were getting a very uneasy feeling that there was a… definitely a sense of an imminent threat, but that maybe that threat was maybe not from the phenomenon itself, but as Vallée has warned since at least 1979, from humans manipulating people’s beliefs in the phenomenon. And Jason Somoza does a very good job of highlighting those bits of information scattered throughout scattered castles that clearly were giving Vallée and his friends, Vallée and company, Bigelow and company, a sense that there was something afoot within the halls of government and the United States administration, that would have been the Obama administration, that seemed to be ready to push, quote unquote, not disclosure, but confirmation, another title from one of Jacques’ books. There is an interesting clip in here with Rogan where Tom DeLonge is talking to Rogan. And this is one of the earlier interviews. And Jason Samosa points out that, you know, Valet and company were saying what they were getting the sense of, that there was something coming that wasn’t going to be quote unquote disclosure, but was going to be quote unquote confirmation of the phenomenon of some script, some narrative of the phenomenon. And, you know, just like with Jeremy Corbell, as we’ve highlighted and others have pointed out, has warned that there’s this whispers in the halls of government and intelligence channels that something big is coming and that it could be something akin to what people are already going crazy about with this three eye atlas, this idea there. Oh, there’s the clip right there. UFO revolution season two. Yeah, that. something big is afoot and that it’s part of some kind of campaign emanating from inside the halls of power. Well, yeah, you can go check that out and decide for yourself. This is absolutely the kind of thing that I’ve been focused on for so long and worried about for so long. And I wish I was reading this book faster. Goodness gracious. It is just, it’s thick. And I swear every page is a mountain of data. for one to explore and i encourage you to explore it speaking of joe rogan and other related issues you know red panda koala is this user online who has collected and archived a lot of videos on their youtube channel his youtube channel and there’s a just over six minute clip i’m not going to play the whole thing but

 

know red

 

panda koala is this user online who has collected and archived a lot of videos on their youtube channel his youtube channel and there’s a just over six minute clip i’m not going to play the whole thing but It’s a collection of every time Joe Rogan brings up the age of disclosure, he mentions mass amnesty. And this is something I do recall Tom DeLonge talking about before the 2017 thing and what came out, I think, in the WikiLeaks, just this idea that what he wanted to be a part of was helping get rid of the secrecy and bringing all these things out into the open. making it so that the people who had been a part of it weren’t necessarily brought to justice for the crimes that were committed. Because what we’re talking about here with this kind of disclosure that’s been advanced by the UAP Disclosure Act and things like that is, you know,

 

of disclosure that’s been advanced by the UAP Disclosure Act and things like that is, you know, bringing out the things that have been illegally hidden from the people and more illegally hidden from Congress. But yeah, here’s just a little bit of that Joe Rogan clip.

 

Right. Yes. Yeah. So and so there is this highly anticipated documentary, The Age of Disclosure, that that series of clips, that was only halfway through a six minute plus series of clips put together by Red Panda Koala. Thank you, RPK. From every time, apparently every time Joe Rogan mentions. this documentary on his show, he brings out that issue, which is very important. That is the key, really, of this whole disclosure issue and why perhaps it is not being more vigorously attempted. Well, that documentary is finally coming out. It is going to premiere in some theaters across the country, very few, but there’s going to be a lot of watch parties, including some organized by Danny Sheehan’s New Paradigm Institute, but it is also going to be launched for streaming. Early on Friday, I think November 21st. And yeah, it looks to be a really powerful documentary, at least as far as having all the politicos, government and intelligence people finally speaking out about this. And it is all about this idea of a threat. As Jacques Vallée and company were intimating as far back as 2013, that there would be some kind of campaign like this. Here we are. What’s going to happen? Will anything significant happen? Will this move the dial, as they say? Or will this just be more fodder for mythologizing about something that a lot of us believe to be true, but have trouble actually proving finally and definitively? Who knows? But I’m looking forward to watching this documentary as much as I’m frustrated by the sense that they’re… is an agenda at play here that I’m very concerned about. But ain’t that always the way? All right, moving right along. There’s so much more to talk about, including Mothman.

 

Mothman, is this UFO related? Is this cryptid related? Well, for me, it’s UFO related because that’s how I first learned about it was through a UFO book of sorts called The Mothman Prophecies by… John Keel. Yes. The Crazy Mixed -Up Meaning of Mothman by Sharon A. Hill. You can find this article over at her website, SharonAHill .com. And without going into too much detail here, giving away too much of her article, she writes, from its origins in 1966. And I think, as I’ve mentioned in previous shows, it does seem like Mothman particularly, but… A lot of cryptids generally, I think, have taken on a new sort of meaning and meaningfulness to the various parts of the LGBTQ, etc. communities. Sharon Hill continues, I came across this video, a comedy sketch featuring Mothman as, quote, the most confusing cryptid. Yes, indeed. Why is Mothman confusing? Because it’s a mishmash of decades of stories that blended larger narratives about monsters, aliens, and general paranormality. What began as a scary encounter with what was initially described as a really large bird lives on 60 years later as one of the most iconic pop cryptids. Now, I haven’t watched the video for this yet, but it’s linked here in her article. Like, what’s a mothman? Chris and Jack is the show. I can’t follow the lore. In the video, Daniel transports Mothman through his phone line and asks him, what’s your deal? Because it’s all very confusing to him. Mothman lore portrays the creature as a mysterious red -eyed winged humanoid that chases people and eats dogs, a spooky man -moth that appears from another dimension as an omen of disaster. In modern popular culture, Mothman is also depicted more like a fantasy character or a dark and menacing figure or a sexy mystery guy. It’s no wonder we can’t decide if it’s threatening or not.

 

And yeah, you can read the rest of that over at her website. She’s got some shots of the many news clippings that were associated with the initial… And yeah, she’s right. The initial sightings were more of a bird and more of a cryptid in that way. But they were told by somebody who was largely a paranormal UFO guy. Later, some described him and I think he self -described as a demonologist, John Keel. And, you know, the Mothman is a great example of where if you research UFOs and you keep an open mind and you note all the other weirdness that surrounds the UFO phenomenon. you’ll notice a bunch of other weird phenomena. And in this case, cryptids, strange giant birds, or other paranormal activity that happened in the same kind of flap area that the flapping wings of Mothman occur. Actually, one of the things about Mothman and a lot of its early descriptions were, The wings didn’t flap. The thing wasn’t flying in any kind of conventional way. And it was flying like a UFO. It was just like hovering and moving fast, able to able to keep pace with a speeding car that was trying to get away from it. And those glaring red eyes or whatever they were. Anyway, a lot more there over at Sharon A. Hill dot com. And also that video that she links to, you know, but this reminds me on a recent trip to. book people here in Austin, Texas, I was treated, book people being a popular bookstore, originally Grok Books way back in the day, here in Austin, Texas, there was this, you know, display that’s in the tradition of employees picks, staff picks kind of thing, but for books and, but in this case, it’s not staff, it’s Mothman. And so somebody created a big little, little moth. person moth thing a mothman there at the top of this stack and there’s you know a dozen plus books under the sign live laugh lurk and yeah i think believe let me see if i’ve got all these pics there’s some close -ups here there’s a close -up of the mothman and the top of the display which has books like the unidentified cryptids

 

i think believe let me see if i’ve got all these pics there’s some close -ups here there’s a close -up of the mothman and the top of the display which has books like the unidentified cryptids Bigfoot and friends magnet set and a cryptid club book and lots of YA young adult fiction, but like books like scotch on the rocks and spread me and American mythology, Scotland, the story of a station Mac, uh, my, my ex, it’s a wide variety of stuff, but yeah, it all kind of vaguely fits into Fortiana and, and cryptid. But again, it’s like these are all recommendations by various cryptids, including Bigfoot and Mothman. And in fact, yes, the top most promoted book is The United States of Cryptids. I got that title wrong from a distance. The United States of Cryptids, A Tour of American Myths and Monsters by J .W. Oker, O -C -K -E -R. And that’s Mothman Recommends. Yes, indeed. Well, let’s see here. Yeah, I was going to, there’s some other stuff I was going to share. There’s a lot more articles to talk about that we’re not going to get to. Ancient and modern UFOs in Africa with Professor Tim Moretha, Apparitions of the Virgin Mary, Fatima, and Garabandal. It’s going to be a course, a multi -week course offered by Diana Walsh Pasolka. This article that we’ve got up on the screen is Jeremy McGowan. How a Harvard professor, influencers, and Kardashians made an interstellar rock into an alien mothership. Of course, that’s all about 3i Atlas, giving a timeline of the promotion of this idea that’s in some ways creating a panic. I will say I have been approached by people who I consider very intelligent, sending me links to some of the worst AI slop about 3i Atlas. Seemingly believing the premise that it is now heading towards Earth, when in fact, yes, it is going to be at its closest point to Earth, but it’s not headed to Earth. Also, there’s all these now this talk of it having broken up into possibly into multiple parts, but at the very least, it’s sending out multiple jets that could increase its speed in a way that would be consistent with a possible. alien spacecraft, some kind of maneuvering jets, but also still falls very squarely within the realm of normal comet behavior in that a big block of ice with gases trapped inside of it that gets close to the sun will melt off a lot of the outside parts and cause gas inside to be able to be released and jets to be visible and to change and modify its trajectory and speed. Now. Would never discount the possibility that maybe it is alien, but I just think it’s highly unlikely. Meanwhile,

 

it is alien,

 

highly recommend, of course, George Knapp. George Knapp has been at the center, behind the scenes, both publicly reporting on all this stuff for years, decades, but also was behind the scenes aware of the OSAT program, keeping his mouth shut and watching as things unfolded. Over at 8 News Now, the, of course, Las Vegas news channel that he works for, that’s ABC, excuse me, a CBS affiliate. Scientists revealed details of top secret UFO research in Las Vegas. This was, I believe, in lead up to the release of the part one of the interview that he has done with Jeremy, his partner, Jeremy Korbel, on their show Weaponized, which this part one is a two -parter interviewing. James Lekatzky. And boy, I haven’t made it very far, but it’s immediately intriguing because here is the guy that ran the program, not Lou Elizondo, but James Lekatzky, and who basically says, implies that Arrow is in fact a disinfo op and that nobody, nobody in the government has approached him. to talk to him about what he knows. And he’s the one that everybody says, including George Knapp, has seen one of these recovered craft,

 

of these recovered craft, one of these recovered mystery objects that are being reverse engineered, allegedly. Anyway, over at the 8 News Now class article, Las Vegas. The largest UFO investigation ever funded by the U .S. government was carried out in total secrecy right here in Las Vegas. And while most of the reports produced by the program are still classified, the scientist who managed the program is spilling some of what he knows. Las Vegas is now known for hosting one of the premier racing events in the world. However, the most important race on the planet was headquartered right here. It was a race to see which nation would be the first to crack the code and replicate the propulsion system of mysterious machines seen for decades in our skies and oceans. The race is real and it is still underway. Dr. James Lukatzky said we are, quote, absolutely, unquote, in a race for the tech. Lukatzky worked for the DIA, the Defense Intelligence Agency. He said the goal of the program was to figure out UFO technology and to one day build our own. He spoke exclusively with 8 News Now Chief Investigator George Knapp. For more than 80 years, the U .S. government has told the public not to fret about UFO intrusions. because nearly all of them are explainable. Behind the scenes, though, intelligence agencies and the Pentagon acknowledge that there is a deadly serious contest to figure out UFO technology before Russia or China do. Nevada Senator Harry Reid told us before his death that the race is real and that we’d better win it, which is why he was the primary sponsor of a $22 million secret investigation. Quote, it is not our belief or conjecture or the opinions of the authors, Lekatsky said. It’s facts from the program. These are from official sources. from what the public has paid for it now quick aside i don’t believe he’s actually lakatsky is in age of disclosure why why and why wasn’t he tapped for these various hearings i believe he speaks to some of this in the interview that i have yet to finish but maybe not but yes it’s a question that’s been on a lot of people’s minds Lukaski spent most of his career with the DIA, analyzing the technology of America’s adversaries, weapons that could potentially wipe out the world. He was and is a keeper of secrets and regarded his oath and security clearance as gospel. But these days, he is cautiously and meticulously sharing what he can about OSAP, the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program. It’s the largest acknowledged UFO investigation ever funded by the U .S. government. Lukatsky designed and managed OSAP inspired by a book he read about a UFO hotspot in a remote corner of Utah, a place now known as Skinwalker Ranch. Credible witnesses reported seeing mysterious high -tech objects emerge from holes in the sky. Lukatsky believed this was a potential threat and also an opportunity. Quote, we wanted to learn what can be weaponized there, and that basically was our job at DIA. Lukatsky visited the ranch, escorted by its owner, Las Vegas tycoon Robert Bigelow, since… taken over by Brandon Fugel, and had his own bizarre experience. He then convinced DIA leadership that an investigation was warranted. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid and two of his Senate colleagues agreed, and OSAP was born. The program was housed within a subsidiary of Bigelow Aerospace and had a team of 50 full -time investigators. It conducted an unprecedented investigation in near -total secrecy. Lekatsky and his team produced an astounding… amount of material, including 115 thick documents in the world’s largest UFO data warehouse. That was what was created by Jacques Vallée. That is known as Capella. Anyway, you can read the rest of this over there at 8 News Now. And there’s also a video accompanying it, which is basically what you read here. And of course, like I say, there is part one of the latest weaponized interview with James Lekatsky over at their YouTube channel. Well, goodness gracious, there is just so much more news I wanted to cover. I mentioned some of the other bits. There’s this new newsletter, UFO newsletter, I think in cooperation with MUFON Mutual UFO Network called The Wow Signal. And they have articles titled Extreme Experiencers and Doomsday Prophecy, as well as one called The Haunted Frequency of UAP. Both of these seem very intriguing. I have not had the chance to dive into those. On the front of Frontier Tech and the internet is this article from france24 .com titled Sweden’s Crowd Forecasting Platform Glimt, that’s G -L -I -M -T, helps Ukraine make wartime predictions. Now, that may not seem to have any relevance to anomalous phenomena, but it seems pretty intriguing nonetheless. Along the cryptozoology line of articles, we have some great stuff, including several new videos, links to our good friend Chester Moore Jr.’s Dark Outdoors podcast series, which now has its own website, darkoutdoors .com. He and Lyle Blackburn have done a nice short mini documentary called Feral Humans,

 

documentary called Feral Humans, New Evidence of Wild Men. that they released on halloween and there’s some other great stuff about texas bigfoot related issues this what’s the website youtube video called the true story of the marion county monster aggressive bigfoot encounters on location in jefferson texas and of course our good friends tim banal and joshua kutchen recently took part in a long planned expedition into an undisclosed location in the wilderness for a Bigfoot Trek and did a multi -hour wrap -up discussion of their experience on the Banal of America BOA YouTube channel. That’s BOA Live Bigfoot Trek Special that you’ll want to check out. Also from good friend Chester Moore Jr. He’s got a new video, Giant Catfish Attacks Man. Divers say bigger ones down there. This is, of course, an area I love in cryptozoology, this idea of… Extremely large catfish, sometimes described as the size of a VW bug car lurking often at the base of dams and in murky deep waters in Texas lakes and rivers. And then another article, Demon Dogs of New York City, which is a more North American report on the strange phenomena of… big black dogs, the phantom black dogs, which is mostly a British phenomenon, but I think is truly a global worldwide phenomenon. A ton of other great articles under the subject headlines of paranormal parapsychology and spiritualism. Oh, yes. I got to recommend Photography and the Invisible, five essays by Sharon Taggart. You know, Sharon Taggart is this amazing esoteric photographer. And let’s see if I can get this to, yeah. Over at walkerart .org are the links to her five essays. You know, I was, I think I was introduced to her work perhaps through Greg Bishop’s Radio Mysterioso interview with her many years ago. But yeah, photography and the invisible, since the inception of photography in the 1800s, people have tried to photograph things they couldn’t see, ghosts. dreams, prayers, sickness, sin, psychic powers, and even the human soul. However, this integral part of photographic history has often been hidden and obscured. Exploring the relationship between photography, spiritualism, science, art, and belief, the series Photography and the Invisible, organized by author and photographer Shannon Taggart, traces image -making’s relationship with visible and invisible worlds. And some of the essay titles are Every Picture is a Ghost, Photography and the Invisible. psychic possibilities, spirit photography in the 20th century and beyond. Can you imagine anything better? Christine Bergen on spirit photography and conceptual art. What is a photographer, if not a paranormal investigator? In conversation with Patricia Volgaris. And lastly, I don’t pretend to have the answers. Rick Garrett and Kirlian photography. Wow. And I guess this is also part of an art, probably an art exhibition of her photographs. Fantastic. I wish I could attend. Among other great headlines that need to be explored, a next -gen study of ghostly episodes by James Huron, inspiring the next generation, meeting junior paranormal events at the Festival of the Unexplained, guiding the next generation of investigators, just on and on and on. So much good stuff. So little time. Gosh. On the frontier archaeology, we have something from, oh, is it Texas Parks and Wildlife or Texas Highways? I forget. But this gentleman writes for one of those publications and has a video called Why the Galt Archaeological Site in Texas Changes World History. We’ve talked about the Galt site before here in Texas and how it really rewrites ancient human history. Some other great titles. that need your exploration. Archaeologists discovered a mysterious underground chamber from an ancient civilization, as well as oldest known Maya monument could be a map of the universe to the world’s oldest known cave art wasn’t made by our species, that would be Neanderthals, that made the art that they’re talking about. And on and on and on, including Michigan County to build $2 million museum to promote pseudo -historical claim. And the long delayed Grand Egyptian Museum is finally open and it was worth the wait and more. So we’ll have those links in the show notes for tonight’s episode. And thank you for joining us.
