This is a rapidly developing story.
There is increasing evidence that Unidentified Anomolous Phenomena (UAP), the updated and generalized term for UFOs, are real and that major governments around the world know it. In fact, as you go deeper down this particular rabbit hole, it starts to seem that almost every bizarre thing you’ve heard about them is true, too. For instance, that the U.S. government has (multiple) recovered vehicles, is actively attempting to reverse-engineer the technology, and even has alien bodies. What these non-human intelligent beings want with us, if anything, remains mysterious – at least to most of us.
I know this has always been tin foil hat whacko stuff – but no longer. If you want to know more – and, warning, much about this topic is quite shocking – peruse the links below in the Introductory Media section. Check out all of those and you might start to feel the “ontological shock” that whistle-blower David Grusch refers to.
We’re not in a situation (if we ever were) where the only people we’re hearing from are individual private “UFOlogists” or “experiencers.” Most of the witnesses you’ll hear from below are sober government and military officials and what they’re saying is remarkably consistent. In fact, they are working in concert to advance what’s called the “disclosure movement.”
As you approach this topic, note that it appears that there are currently different factions within the U.S. government that want different things. A core constituency still wants these things kept secret (even from presidents and top military brass) while an increasing number of former military and government officials are coming out and telling what they can without violating their secrecy agreements, security clearances, and going to jail. As I write, there’s a struggle going on – so you will hear contradictory things from different sources. For instance, the military office known as AARO, despite being created by congress in order to facilitate disclosure, has, at times, been infiltrated by the former group. Their report released in early 2024 was a piece of crap that could have been written by a high-schooler. Now under new leadership, AARO may be reforming.
Introductory Media
New York Times Coverage:
Glowing Auras and ‘Black Money’: The Pentagon’s Mysterious U.F.O. Program, a New York Times article from 2017, coauthored by Leslie Kean (below), represents the beginning of the modern mainstream interest and revelations regarding UAP. They’ve run other articles since. Unfortunately, the article are available only to subscribers. (Since the Times is often a source of propaganda regarding U.S. foreign policy, intelligence, and war and peace issues, I don’t recommend subscribing!)
Here’s a more recent article that we do have access to by Kean and one of her co-authors, Ralph Blumenthal, from The Debrief.
60 Minutes:
This 60 Minutes segment, produced in 2021, is, reportedly, their most popular ever.
Congressional Hearings:
On July 26, 2023, a U.S. congressional committee held an historic public hearing on UAPs with three military witnesses, one of which is the whistle-blower mentioned above. The other two have had direct encounters with UAP. Here’s the whole thing on youtube.
You’ll note that the matter is bipartisan, perhaps the only topic that is! Reportedly, other hearings and activity are happening in congress that isn’t public.
On November 13th, 2024, another public hearing was held with four more witnesses.
A public “briefing” was held on May 1st, 2025. A couple of other hearings were held with those who are either woefully ignorant or still desiring coverup.
Documentaries:
The Phenomenon is an excellent documentary which is now available for free. It’s an excellent overview of many of the most important encounters of the 20th century featuring military people, police, civilians, and children. Each segment could be a documentary of its own and you can search for plenty of additional material on each incident. I honestly don’t know how someone could watch this and not understand that these things are real.
Moment of Contact is another documentary by James Fox that’s free on youtube. This one focuses on a single incident that happened in Varginha, Brazil, in which a being was encountered by several people after a UAP crashed (or shot down). James Fox’s most recent film is The Program. It’s good and covers government events up to 2024 but is not yet available for free.
The UFO Phenomenon, a 2021 documentary from Australian channel 7 is good.
National Geographic has done a series on UAPs that are reasonably good.
The Age of Disclosure is a film concentrating on interviews with government types and is hyped as the best film of its type. However, as of this writing, it’s only been shown at a film festival and has not yet been distributed. Check their site to see if it’s been released. Meanwhile, The Program (above) likely covers some of the same ground.

Colonel Karl Nell tells it like it is:
In this terse 20-minute interview in front of a live audience, Col. Nell clearly and unambiguously states the facts as he sees or knows them as an insider. He has “zero doubt.” Newsweek quotes The Debrief, “Nell worked with [David] Grusch on the National Reconnaissance Office’s UAP Task Force from 2021 to 2022.” He’s also a former executive at multiple aerospace contractors – whom many contend have been given retrieved craft and technology in order, partly, to hide it more effectively from us.
Books:
Some I’ve read that are worth reading include those by Leslie Kean and Lue Elizondo. See their entries under Individuals to Watch, below. UFOs and Nukes is of high quality and chock full of reports focusing on the great interest UAPs have demonstrated in human nuclear technology of all kinds. There’s significant literature on the abduction phenomenon. For instance, books by John Mack, M.D., Budd Hopkins, and Whitley Streiber. Books by historian Richard Dolan are of high quality.
Congress & Legislation
A bipartisan official UAP Caucus has been formed in Congress. Their page is pretty interesting. Other Senators and Representatives are involved. These are not (just) the crazies we all know are in Congress. Check out this list.
They are trying to pass a UAP Disclosure Act (UAPDA), sometimes called the “Schumer Amendment” – yes, Sen. Chuck Schumer – to force public disclosure of what some government departments are hiding. This news article from The Hill discusses the matter. This amendment to the defence appropriations bill, which has been called the most astounding legislation ever introduced to the US congress, defines, then uses, the term “non-human intelligence” many times. Ask yourself why otherwise mainstream, sane (and self-serving) politicians would produce and promote such legislation, potentially ruining their reputations, if there wasn’t considerable motivation and truth to this issue.
Public congressional hearings are linked above. Meanwhile, much more reportedly happens behind the scenes and in so-called Sensitive Compartmented Information Facilities (SCIFs) where classified matters can be discussed.
Media Outlets That Cover UAP
At the moment, only certian media outlets are willing to cover this story. Here are some of the better ones so you can keep informed as this story develops.
NewsNation – Ross Coulthart and others at NewsNation are not afraid to cover this issue.
The Hill will also report on UAP-related stories.
Weaponized podcast – Produced by UAP old hand, George Knapp, along with relative newcomer, Jeremy Corbell. (See below.)
Joe Rogan podcast – Say what you like about Rogan (and I may agree with you) but he’s at least covering this issue a good deal. His long-form interviews with some of the legendary figures (e.g., Bob Lazar) are not to be missed. (Personally, among other things, I wish he’d shut up about his own – often ignorant – opinions and let the guests talk more.) He has interviews of many of the individuals mentioned here.
Breaking Points & Rising – These shows have UAP stories as developments arise. Breaking Points, especially, is an excellent source of political commentary which is not beholden to the major parties (absolutely necessary in today’s world to understand anything that’s going on). Recommended. Each show has “left” and “right” commentators but not Democratic or Republican ones.
The Debrief has regular stories on UAP.
Politico covers UAP issues.
The UAP Caucus has a news roundup page.
Skywatcher is an independent company of former government and military types who are attempting to attract and retreive UAP. Their videos are here.
Individuals to Watch
You may see some of these people in the videos above or in your own research. They are serious reporters, researchers, podcasters, “experiencers”, whistle-blowers, etc.., who are important in the field and worth listening to. The reporters have been working the UAP beat for some time and are not nutty.
Please note: I do not necessarily endorse all of their opinions (some I passionately disagree with on other subjects) but they nevertheless each have produced what I think is valuable UAP-related material or testimony.
Leslie Kean – A serious reporter who’s been covering UAP for 2 decades. She’s co-author of the 2017 front page New York Times article linked above. Her 2010 book, UFOs: Generals, Pilots, and Government Officials Go on the Record does what it says. It has chapters written by military and government officials about their experiences and encounters. It provides good background on the topic. (ie, It’s not just whackos talking about this.) You’ll see her interviewed in several of the videos above.
Ross Coulthart – Coulthart, an Austrailian reporter who has worked for their equivalent of 60 Minutes (and produced our 60 Minutes episode above) has broken important UAP stories and continues to cover the topic weekly with his program Reality Check. Ross broke the story with whistle-blower David Grusch. See that complete interview here (excerpted in the 60 Minutes episode).
George Knapp – George is the original UFO reporter. He was a TV reporter in Nevada and broke the Bob Lazar story (see below) on his station. He’s still at it and cohosts the Weaponized podcast with Jeremy Corbell.
Jeremy Corbell – Corbell is sort of the newcomer/amateur reporter/UFOlogist on this list. Nevertheless, he’s been working on it for many years and is very plugged in at this point, though he does rub some people the wrong way. He’s been working with congress to set up hearings and get whistle-blowers heard and protected. You’ll see him and George Knapp behind the witnesses in the July 2023 public hearing linked above and he’s facilitated a number of the UAP-related Rogan podcasts.
Joe Rogan – Think what you will about Rogan. Can’t say I’m comfortable with him myself. However, he continues to give this topic a good airing. He’s had many of the people on this list on his podcast and those episodes are worth watching.
Michael Shellenberger – Reporter working the UAP beat who continues to release breaking UAP-related stories. He testified in the November, 2024, House hearing.
Bob Lazar -Lazer is the original “Area 51” supposed whistle-blower. He has consistently maintained for 35 years that he worked on attempting to reverse-engineer an in-tact UAP craft held by the US government in Area 51 in Nevada. Some believe Lazar and some do not and some of his history is seemingly sketchy. However, some of what’s said about him could also be attributed to counter-intelligence (ie, “PSYOPS“) efforts. Today, he owns this little retail company from which you can order downright hazardous and barely-legal scientific supplies such as radioactive substances and a few items related to his supposed UAP experience. Joe Rogan has a podcast with him and Jeremy Corbell.
Lue Elizondo – Lue says he ditched his career as a military counter-intelligence officer in order to bring the knowledge of UAP and non-human intelligence (NHI) to the people and force action by the government and military. He says he and his family have suffered a great deal as a result. His recent book is Imminent: Inside the Hunt for UFOs, which I’ve read.
Chris Mellon – Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Minority Staff Director of the Senate Intelligence Committee and scion of famous and very wealthy Mellon family. Along with Elizondo, Grusch, and others, Mellon is one of a team of former government officials trying to advance the disclosure cause. He was responsible for getting released the three short UFO videos the New York Times published along with their UAP article of 2017 (see above). You might enjoy this recent video statement of his.
Media to Avoid
Some programs I’ve seen that are produced by the History Channel are of low quality and some seem to be downright fiction. There’s lots of crap out there – on any topic. The UAP issue is worse than many. You can stick with the sources I recommend to avoid most of it.
Off the Deep End
Once you’ve reviewed all of the information linked above, and, perhaps, more, you might be ready to absorb the following. Get ready to spend some time and have your mind blown! Greer represents a third faction of UFOlogy that believes that the coverup and conspiracy goes even deeper and represents a serious threat to humanity – by humans, not aliens. If it were just him, it could be dismissed as the ravings of a crazy man, but he has many allies and witnesses behind him.
