UAP STUDIES Podcast

Jason welcomes U.S. Air Force veteran and congressional witness Jeff Nuccetelli for a conversation about his firsthand experiences at Vandenberg Air Force Base (now Vandenberg Space Force Base)Jeff, a former military police officer with 16 years of active-duty service, recently testified before Congress on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs), detailing a series of extraordinary events that occurred between 2003 and 2005 at this highly secure installation—home to critical missile defense and space launch operations. He recounts the now-infamous "Red Square" incident—a massive, glowing red square object, the size of a football field, silently hovering over missile silos— and multiple incursions over heavily guarded zones. These events left witnesses shaken and forever changed.The glaring lack of training, protocols, and institutional support for handling such incursions in restricted military airspaceDeeper questions of spirituality, the potential role of predestiny, and how these experiences challenge our understanding of reality in profoundly random yet meaningful waysIt's a candid look at the human side of UAP phenomena, the courage required to speak out, and the urgent need for transparency and better support systems. Whether you're a longtime researcher or new to the topic, Jeff's testimony and reflections offer rare insight from someone who lived it and recently brought it to Congress. Disclosure comes from people like him, not our governments. Jeff will be a guest speaker at @contactinthedesert 2026, May 28-june 1#UAP #UFO #MilitaryWitness #podcast

Dean Alioto, the creator and director of The McPherson Tape, never intended to fool anyone. Produced in 1989 as a film school project, the low-budget movie unexpectedly convinced some well-known ufologists—and even a U.S. Air Force colonel—that the footage depicted a genuine alien abduction. Despite Alioto being upfront from the beginning that the film was fiction, the project—initially dismissed by his school—took on a life of its own.Because Dean was already well-read on UFO lore and alien abduction stories at the time, he drew inspiration from many of the narratives circulating in the late 1980s. That familiarity inadvertently gave the film an authenticity that resonated with parts of the UFO community.Today, decades later, Dean finds himself uniquely positioned to talk about public deception, misinformation, and how easily belief can take hold. Ironically pulled into the world of UFOs and non-human intelligence—despite never originally intending to explore the subject—Alioto now reflects on the strange journey that began with a simple student film.

The Long-Lost Episode Has Been Found! After being thought lost, this incredible interview has finally been recovered and is now being released—albeit a little later than planned.In this episode, we speak with Dave Rich and Marianne Robb, both retired police officers and detectives who have taken on a unique and important mission. Drawing on decades of law-enforcement experience, they are now working to train and educate active police officers about UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) and the possibility of non-human intelligence—phenomena that officers may encounter during the course of their careers.Dave and Marianne discuss why law enforcement needs to be prepared for these encounters, how their training programs work, and why the subject deserves serious attention within professional policing.This is a conversation at the intersection of law enforcement, public safety, and the evolving global conversation around UAP.

Documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir joins us this week for a candid and wide-ranging discussion about the current state of ufology. Known for his extensive work exploring the UFO phenomenon through film, Darcy is now expanding into podcasting while continuing his deep research into the subject. In this episode, we dive into some of the more controversial and troubling aspects of the UFO community. Darcy shares insights from his years of investigating the field, including encounters with grifters, charlatans, and outright fabricators who have shaped the narrative around UFOs and UAP. From high-profile personalities like Greer and Elizondo to questionable figures from the past, we examine how misinformation and personal agendas can muddy the waters for serious researchers.We also explore a growing concern in the community: the rise of cult-like thinking and quasi-religious ideologies surrounding the phenomenon. What happens when belief replaces investigation? And how does this impact legitimate research and the experiences of those who claim real encounters?Darcy’s new podcast is now available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — be sure to check it out.

Hosts Katie Paige and Jason Guillemette welcome back Ben Jinkins and Joe Strelsky from the UFO Garage Podcast for a no-holds-barred conversation that dives straight into today's suspicious UAP topics.The discussion kicks off with the recent Presidential directive by P. D.Trump to identify and release government files related to UFOs, UAP, alien/extraterrestrial life, and connected matters—sparked by massive public demand. Is this genuine progress toward transparency, or could it serve as a clever distraction from other high-profile releases like the Epstein files? The group weighs in on the timing, implications, and whether this piecemeal approach is how the community truly wants disclosure to unfold—or if it's just more controlled narrative management.Ben and Joe share their exciting updates on the return of UFO Garage, which will soon begin dropping fresh biweekly episodes after a hiatus. They give a preview of their highly anticipated documentary on Eric Mitchell, an extraordinary experiencer whose encounters with orbs, ET contact, and subsequent harassment/surveillance have led to bizarre abilities and life-altering events. This film explores the deeply personal, human side of the phenomenon—far beyond mere proof of UFOs—making the intangible feel tangible and real. The documentary is set to release soon, so stay tuned!Honesty is the best policy, expect plenty of rabbit-hole explorations, bold questions, and unfiltered insights from the guests (& Hosts) into NHI, experiencer realities, government secrecy, and the future of UAP awareness. This one's a deep dive—bring a helmet, because things get wild! Are we finally getting real disclosure, or just another layer of the onion? Truth over fear—always.#Disclosure #Experiencer #NonHumanIntelligence

In a special episode of the UAP Studies Podcast, hosts welcome Travis Walton and filmmaker Jennifer Stein to commemorate the 50th anniversary of one of the most famous and well-documented UFO encounters in history—the Travis Walton incident of November 5, 1975. This episode dives into Walton’s extraordinary experience in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona, where, as a 22-year-old forestry worker, he was allegedly struck by a beam of light from a UFO and taken aboard an extraterrestrial craft, missing for five days and six hours. Walton shares his firsthand account, describing the encounter not as an abduction but as a possible rescue mission, suggesting the beings may have saved his life after an accidental energy strike.Joined by Jennifer Stein, director of the award-winning documentary Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, the discussion explores the making of the film, which combines new and archived interviews with Walton, his logging crew, law enforcement, polygraph examiners, and prominent UFO researchers like Stanton Friedman and Richard Dolan. Stein sheds light on the deliberate debunking efforts, including lies and extortion, that attempted to discredit Walton’s story and its impact on the lives of those involved.Upcoming event celebrating the 50th anniversary: a special screening of Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Arizona Historical Society Museum (1300 N. College Ave., Tempe, AZ 85288). The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Walton and Stein, providing attendees with an opportunity to engage directly. A special dinner will follow from 3:15 PM to 5:30 PM. For tickets and further details, visit PhoenixMUFON.com.#TravisWalton #UFOPodcast #UAPStudies
