In this exclusive interview with Timothy Phillips, the former Acting Director of the All-Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), about the U.S. government’s investigation into Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs). Topics include: The inner workings and challenges of AARO | Allegations of confiscated data from the 2004 Nimitz “Tic Tac” incident | The credibility of whistleblower claims and legacy programs | The implications of highly compartmentalized programs for future disclosure | Radar-confirmed UFO speeds and propulsion mysteries | Historical sightings of triangular craft before the era of stealth aircraft | The “Gremlin” tech initiative and future data collection efforts. Phillips responds to public criticisms of AARO’s transparency and offers insight into what the U.S. government may—or may not—know about the UAP phenomenon.SHOW NOTESSupport the Show & Stay Connected! 👉 Join us on Patreon — Get ad-free podcast episodes (for any media player) for as little as $2/month:https://www.patreon.com/MartinWillisPodcastUFO🧢 Podcast UFO Merch (Shirts, Hats & More):page=1&limit=120&sort_by=category_order&sort_order=asc📬 Sign Up for Our Weekly Newsletter — Get updates on upcoming guests, blog posts, and more:http://eepurl.com/LPHKD🌐 Our Website:https://podcastufo.com📱 Follow us on Social Media:Twitter (X): https://x.com/PodcastUFOFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/PodcastUFO📺 Subscribe on YouTube (It’s Free!):https://www.youtube.com/user/PodcastUFO?sub_confirmation=1📧 Contact:producer@podcastufo.com

From the very beginning of the flying saucer/UFO mystery, Joseph Allen Hynek played a huge role as an investigator.  According to him in his 1972 book, The UFO Experience, in 1947 he was asked to be a scientific consultant for the Air Force’s investigation program (which was then called Project Sign) based at Wright-Patterson AFB in Dayton, Ohio. He explains he was “then director of Ohio State University’s McMillan Observatory and, as such, the closest professional astronomer at hand.” He remained a scientific consultant for what operated as Project Sign, Project Grudge, and then Project Blue Book as of 1952, up until its termination in 1969. He went on with his own investigations, formed the Center for UFO Studies in 1973, and continued as its director until his death in 1986. In his almost 40 years of involvement with the mystery, Hynek’s beliefs and public stance evolved quite a bit. Read more →

Amidst the reports of drone incursions over military bases and northern New Jersey, there was a story that made the news involving video footage reportedly taken by a co-pilot of an unidentified object in the sky above Manchester Airport in England, along with still shots of what was said to be the same object, seen to be a blue sphere, hovering over the tarmac. As is typical of UFO coverage in the news these days, when it’s not about what government officials think about the phenomenon, the origin of the story was a post on social media with no real names provided for the poster or the source. All that was left for those with an interest in the case was to conduct some rather imaginative analysis of the footage and argue back and forth over the possible alien origin of the object. Read more →
