AREA52 - DEBRIEFED With Chris Ramsay
Episode 53: "Earth's Hidden War with Aliens - Patrick Jackson"
Release Date: September 5, 2025
Host: Chris Ramsay
Guest: Patrick Jackson (Author, Researcher, The Sphere Network)
Episode Overview
This episode features a deep dive into Patrick Jackson's provocative hypothesis: that Earth is encased in a hidden, advanced AI-based defense network—dubbed the “Sphere Network”—designed to detect, intercept, and remove non-human (possibly alien) intruders from both our planet and our skies. Jackson claims this network not only explains much of the UFO/UAP phenomenon but also most poltergeist and paranormal activity experienced worldwide. The conversation ranges from personal paranormal experiences and technical evidence, to speculations about ultra-terrestrial intelligences and the future of humanity.
Major Themes and Key Discussion Points
1. The Sphere Network Hypothesis
[05:30, 55:15, 95:01]
- Patrick Jackson proposes the existence of a three-tiered, planet-encircling AI defense network, built from spherical, drone-like devices (“spheres”) of varying size and role.
- The smallest spheres (Type 3) operate in buildings and underground, where their electromagnetic emissions correlate with poltergeist activity. Larger spheres (Type 2 and Type 1V) perform atmospheric and near-orbital monitoring, operating in strict geometric formations for advanced tracking (“trilateration”) and potential energetic defense actions.
- “The Sphere Network is an AI based defense network that is wrapped around the planet and it's been here for pretty much forever. It uses three layers of sphere architecture, is controlled from the ground up, and is responsible for many paranormal effects including poltergeist activity.” (Patrick Jackson, 05:30)
2. From Poltergeists to Artificial Intelligence
[06:24 – 16:35]
- Jackson’s origin story: he approached famous hauntings (notably 30 East Drive in the UK) as an IT/data problem, seeking machine-like behavioral patterns (e.g., repetitive door bangs, object moves, electromagnetic anomalies).
- He found consistent, non-human behavioral signatures; poltergeist effects (doors banging, objects thrown, electrical disturbances) repeated identically worldwide, independent of alleged haunted house histories.
- Skepticism is addressed: commercial interests surrounding haunted spots are acknowledged, but firsthand, rigorously documented experiences and patterns convinced Jackson of a machine, not a spirit, at work.
- “The behavior patterns in this building specifically are not human...What you get in poltergeists specifically is banging, scratching, objects thrown, strange electrical effects, headaches, nausea...Very all very distinctive patterns. And this replicates all around the world.” (Patrick Jackson, 07:43)
- The leap: these effects are produced by advanced drones operating on AI routines, especially in haunted "hotspots." Poltergeist activity thus marks the “micro” scale of the global Sphere Network.
3. Empirical Evidence and Technical Analysis
[10:22 – 29:00]
- Spheres caught on cameras: Jackson shares images and filtered footage of small metallic orbs caught hovering or streaking in haunted locations, exhibiting intelligence, instantaneous acceleration, and moving through solid objects (quantum tunneling).
- “What comes out is a small silver ball...about the size of a baseball, and it’s hovering off the ground...When I saw that, it was like all the jigsaw puzzle parts just click together.” (Patrick Jackson, 13:13 - 14:21)
- Documented high electromagnetic and gamma radiation readings, even with power cut, correspond with reported dizziness, nausea, fainting—classic radiation sickness symptoms.
- Jackson captured digital data bursts (18-bit packets) emitted during sphere events, indicating advanced communication protocols.
- The network’s goal: get humans out of broadcast range before transmission (by making noise, breaking stuff, "scarecrow actions"), minimizing collateral exposure.
4. Network Formations, Function, and Global Manifestations
[35:04, 41:11 – 52:57]
- Type 2 spheres (basketball-sized) and Type 1 “V-formation” (triangular groupings) act as the network’s backbone, detected worldwide in identical geometric formations.
- “It’s doing a thing called trilateration, which is actually the same process we use for our own mobile phone tracking...Where instead of using three spheres, we’re using three satellites.” (Patrick Jackson, 43:23)
- Triangular orbs have been recorded intercepting objects entering Earth’s atmosphere, shooting down incoming crafts/meteors, and disabling missiles (including nuclear) in global hotspots (Florida, Barcelona, Middle East, New Jersey, etc.).
- Notable quote: “When they're powered up like this, it means they're ready for business.” (Patrick Jackson, 45:23)
5. Relationship to Governments and Other Civilizations
[55:17, 60:53]
- US Space Force and similar military factions are “likely aware” and may work in tandem or under the constraints of this ancient ultraterrestrial system.
- “I think Space Force is well aware of it and I think that they probably work in tandem with them...there has to be [some agreement].” (Patrick Jackson, 62:22)
- The supposed evidence: sightings of personnel in non-classical uniforms, witnessed during poltergeist-type events, and reports of coordinated site access.
- The network's main operators likely reside underground (“ultraterrestrials”), possibly a breakaway, evolutionarily ahead offshoot of humanity or an entirely distinct lineage, possibly fused with their own AI.
6. Explaining the Paranormal - Broader Implications
[76:37, 79:00, 111:20]
- Most classic hauntings, spontaneous human combustion, poltergeist outbreaks, and even some missing persons cases may be byproducts of sphere activity (gamma/microwave bursts, error “patches,” or AI routines gone awry).
- The phenomenon of “curse objects” or haunted furniture is reframed: items become contaminated with undetectable radiation, causing spheres to trigger “scarecrow” routines in new locations.
- Electronic voice phenomena (EVP) and poltergeist sounds are likely the result of machine-assembled, sampled audio broadcasted via EM signals, picked up by electronics but not human ears.
- “EVPs are actually produced by the type 3. So...it does it very fast...It’s like an AI that is cutting up bits of audio and then reconstructing it to then give you a message.” (Patrick Jackson, 111:49)
7. Speculation: The Hidden War, Species, and Humanity’s Role
[60:15, 122:42]
- The network’s actions suggest Earth is a contested asset under active defense from both human-made and non-human threats.
- Two or more civilizations: One maintains the Sphere Network as planetary guardians; others (outer ETs) try to breach it, getting intercepted or forcibly removed.
- Humans play the “meat shield”/frontline defense role, compared to surface-dwelling, aggressive primates, optimized to confront intruders if the first defensive layers are breached.
- “So you might have the ones in space, you have the ones in the atmosphere as well, but then you have us around the surface. Which makes us the third line of defense. Right?...We are the replacements [for the dinosaurs].” (Patrick Jackson, 121:00, 122:53)
8. Testability and the Path Forward
[117:11, 132:03]
- Jackson lays out a test protocol: instrument major haunted hotspots with coordinated EM, microwave, and radiation sensors, assemble a national/global database, use AI to analyze patterns, and enact signal warfare to attempt communication or provoke sphere responses.
- The hypothesis is presented as mathematically grounded and repeatedly observable.
- “It’s testable, it’s verifiable and it replicates. And if I can find data that replicates just with my own eyes, I’m sure with a budget I could find a lot more.” (Patrick Jackson, 132:03)
9. The Future of Humanity: Evolution Toward AI Integration?
[127:48, 129:39]
- To interface with ultraterrestrials and become relevant, Jackson argues, humanity must fuse with AI to raise our intelligence and survivability, essentially becoming “compatible” with these advanced civilizations.
- “The future for humanity...is that we have to fuse with AI. It’s non negotiable. We have to do it…only then will the gates be opened because now I can talk to you as an equal.” (Patrick Jackson, 127:48)
- This idea, though logical, provokes debate about whether such integration would cost us our unique “human” qualities.
Notable Quotes and Memorable Moments
Jackson on real-time discovery:
“When I saw it, I actually started shaking...I was just sitting there, like, staring into space for four or five hours afterwards because it all started clicking into place.”
[18:27]
Skeptic turned theorist:
“Before, I was a strict atheist and now I just know that there’s more out there.”
[03:37]
Host on the sphere network's leap:
“I can jump from [poltergeists] to aliens pretty quickly...but going from poltergeist activity to AI...I did not expect that leap.”
[09:52]
Jackson on testability and criticism:
“...the sphere network itself is creating the same formations all around the world. It’s the same mathematical process.”

Audience Q&A Highlights
- Can the spheres be hacked or used against us? Technically possible, but highly unlikely due to encryption—as likely as another advanced civilization “hacking” them.
[114:37] - Distinguishing paranormal malfunctions from prosaic faults? Requires comprehensive sensor arrays and AI pattern analysis, not currently practical for amateurs.
[115:04] - Morphology of the ultra-terrestrials? Likely hominid, possibly breakaway or hyper-advanced humans—smaller, smarter, and AI-fused, living underground.
[120:09] - Are humans the "criminal element"? Not criminals but tools—our role on Earth may be functional, like primates are to us; communication likely awaits our evolution/integration with AI. [126:59]
Final Thoughts
Patrick Jackson’s “Sphere Network” model is presented as a unifying, technical, and deeply unsettling theory linking UFOs, hauntings, poltergeist activity, and global military secrecy. While bold, Jackson offers specific, testable claims and urges the community to re-examine traditional paranormal phenomena through this ambitious, data-driven lens. Whether or not listeners are convinced, the episode stands as an intellectually energetic challenge to old dichotomies in the field and a call for coordinated, technological investigation.
