776: Navy Pilot Chases UFO

What if the real threat isn't coming from the skies, but from the depths below? In this gripping conversation, Navy pilot Ryan Pote recounts a harrowing 2013 encounter during a drug interdiction mission when his crew tracked a fast-moving object across the Pacific Ocean, only to watch it come to a dead stop and submerge effortlessly beneath the waves. Pote, backed by sensor footage and eyewitness accounts from his crew and ship, challenges the idea that such technology is even human. His haunting story spirals into a deeper, spiritual lens on UAPs, demonic deception, and the unsettling possibility that unseen wars are being waged just beneath our feet, and far above our heads.

Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer. Your prayers make a difference!
