That, that documentary on Jonathan Wigan. I like I'd heard of him, but I had never heard any of the backstory that you described.
Sam
Oh, it's interesting what was going on.
Danny
In, what was it, Peru that happened?
Sam
Yeah, 1997. Operation Laser Strike.
Danny
Operation Laser Strike. Never heard of it.
Sam
So this was a classified U.S. sOUTHCOM, U.S. southern Command Operation to track narco traffic, drug traffic in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, all sorts of South American countries. And the Mac G, the Marine Air Control Group 28 was sent down alongside some elements of the Air Force and a pretty large joint program, including the CIA, to set up TPS 43 and other radar systems to track some of these narco planes. And so Jonathan Weygand, there's still debate on whether his station was in Pucalpa, Peru, which is kind of central Peru, Iquitos, Peru, which is northern Peru, because he wasn't privy to where he was taken for this radar detachment to track the narco traffic. I personally think this is northern Peru because he just gave a lot of details about the flight time down to Peru, details about time spent on planes. So one morning, late March, early April, he is doing nighttime guard duty and a sergeant comes up to him, I think this is Sergeant Montaligre and says, hey, there's been a crashed craft, we need to go out and see if it's friendly. Nothing about UFOs, just a craft crash, this could be a plane. So Weygant, sergeant Allen, sergeant Atkins and about seven other Marines all drive in a direction to go find this downed aircraft. By the time they reach the lz, after a combination of driving and trekking, the Marines come across a ravine where a about a 20 meter in length egg shaped craft is just stuck in a granite cliff face. Probably, probably granite. We doesn't fully know for sure what the material is, but wedged in there, there's fluid leaking out of the craft. There's what looks to be three hatches, one of them open with possibly a non human arm hanging out of the craft. And this liquid is like clear, but it's viscous like syrup. And the craft itself looks somewhat metallic, but it's changing colors like purple and green. The best I can describe that is the mother of pearl effect, similar to oil on water. So Wegant gets pretty close to the craft. It's way above him, but he gets pretty close under it. He gets the fluid all over himself. And it's to this day like removed hair from his legs, it discolored his camis or his battle dress uniform. And so after about 10 to 15 minutes at the site. And some interesting details about the craft is there was a light going around its circumference that seemed to power down, almost seemed like the craft shut off, including a sound like a guitar amp that eventually died down. Weygant eventually kind of came to hearing Montal, or sorry, hearing Sergeants Allen and Adkins yelling at him to hey, step away from the craft.
Danny
Craft.
Sam
And during this time he felt like, I know you and Jesse talked about Jake Barber and some of the psionics and stuff, right? He felt like there was something in the craft reaching out to him, trying to communicate with him, trying to tell him that it was okay, don't worry, help us, but it's all going to be okay. Which is really bizarre, really strange. And to this day he has seen like these creatures, what he calls them in his dreams that were in the craft. He, he doesn't know how to explain how he felt like these things were contacting him, but it's really strange. But here's where.
Danny
When did he say this for the first time publicly?
Sam
The year 2000 on Stephen Greer's Disclosure Project archive.
Danny
Wow.
Sam
So he was part of the 2000 disclosure briefing project where Greer was doing some really good work getting whistleblowers together. And way Gantt's testimony was in there and has really stood out forever. He reached out to Greer because he was facing a lot of reprisals and he thought he was going to die.
Danny
Wow.
Sam
So there's some stuff he doesn't like talking about and he didn't really talk about live with me, but stuff like being surveilled, having his money messed with, having, you know, his cars tampered with, and he was just really afraid for his life, so he decided to speak out. But.
Danny
So how long ago did you talk to him?
Sam
I talked to him almost daily, but I.
Danny
You talk to him daily?
Sam
Yeah, he's one of my good friends. I love Jonathan. He's a stand up guy. He's hilarious, he's great. Uh, so I, I talk to him all the time. But getting back to his story. So Sergeant Allen and Sergeant Atkins holler at him to move away from the craft as soon as these Marines start heading up, heading up the, the ravine. And this is the most interesting part to me because, you know, my channel's pretty focused around crash retrieval and reverse engineering. A couple of US Army CH47 helicopters fly over them. As these helicopters are getting to land in a nearby clearing, the Marines, including Weigant, including Allen, including Atkins, are intercepted by a team of men in black camouflage. And stop me if this sounds familiar when you hear cases like Michael Herrera, a team of men in black camouflage that apprehend the Marines, strip them of their gear. Weygant, being feisty, being like 23 years old, tries to swing at one of them, clocks him in the head. And these guys at that point make an example out of waygant, push his face in the ground to get some more of the liquid on him, beat the crap out of him. And then out of the helicopters come a team of people ranging from rain jackets to large hazmat gear, MOP gear, Mission Oriented Protection posture marked and stamped with DOE Department of Energy.
Danny
No.
Sam
And so a couple of these DOE guys in protective gear see Wegant, they strip him of his clothes. We ant is handcuffed to a stretcher, his feet are gagged, and he is put on a CH47 out of there. Doesn't know what happened to Atkin or Allen's. But here's what's, what's really interesting about the doe. The Department of Energy has its own team. It's called the Nuclear Emergency Support Team. And this is basically a rapid reaction team that can be sent anywhere in the continental United States or around the world to react to nuclear or radiological signatures. And one of the governing bodies of NEST, the DOE NEST Nuclear Emergency Support Team, is the 1954 Atomic Energy Agreement. 1954. If this sounds familiar to you, are you familiar with the 2023 and 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, UAP Disclosure Disclosure Amendment? I know I'm familiar with it, but.
Danny
I don't, I don't know a lot of the details.
Sam
Okay, so like a quick side note to that, the uapda, which is probably going to be pushed again in, in the upcoming Senate conference. I hope that gets pushed through. But the whole point of this amendment was to bring forth Disclosure of UFO legacy programs, programs hidden within the U.S. department of Defense and intelligence communities that are housing exploiting or reverse engineering technologies of unknown origin. Tuos. And one of the governing bodies listed in this legislation that hides some of these materials is the 1954 Atomic Energy act that considers UFO materials as transclassified foreign nuclear materials. So inherently that means like anything that could be considered nuclear radiological is pretty much born restricted, born classified, and can be pigeonholed to avoid standard declassification processes. What's interesting about the Doe Nest is their founding authority was also the 1954 Atomic Energy Agreement. So you have legislation like the UAPDA talking about 54 being how the classification system for UFO materials is born. And then you have stories like Jonathan Wigant encountering DOE teams whose given authority is that same 54 agreement. So it's very interesting. Also there's provable instances that DOE NEST was actually looking to operate in South America. Colombia, Bolivia, Peru. At that time in 1997 there was a Russian probe that went errant. It was going to crash. Us southcom thought this Russian probe was going to crash either in the Pacific or somewhere near Peru and Bolivia. So DOE was actively using Defense Support Program satellites to monitor the region later that year. So DOE Nest was already interested in South America.
Danny
Wow. And there was a lot of spooky going on in South America in the 90s. Like there's a lot of. There was a lot of UFO crash incidents.
Sam
Ye.
Danny
And there was a lot of. I think that Jacques Filet book was earlier than the 90s though. Ja fil wrote a book about like some crazy massacre that happened in South America where like basically all these people were slaughtered. Have you heard of this?
Sam
It sounds somewhat familiar, but I'm not fully.
Danny
I think Jesse was the one who told me about it but. But yeah, no, South America and Mexico that that period of time was like very active with this. This kind of stuff.
Sam
Well, cuz same year we have Virginia, Brazil, James Fox's big case, right? Y Y and I guess he's doing a lot more work on that. He just talked to, I think it was Chris Ramsey or somebody that he's got more information coming out about that. So that'll be pretty Darn Interesting. In 1978 in Bolivia, there was a case of a. Almost like a Tic Tac, like a cylindrical shaped object crashing into the mountains of Bolivia. A US Air Force team called Moondust, Project Moondust was dispatched to kind of investigate that region. And I'm trying to think what else in Mexico kind of like what you're talking about. In 1974 in Mexico there's a pretty famous kind of underrepresented crash retrieval case called Coyame, Mexico, northern Mexico of a crass saucer that a Mexican retrieval team went to go get. But there was some sort of toxic or biological hazard in the craft that killed the entire Mexican recovery team. And then of course the Americans and their Ch53 Chinooks swooped in and took the craft. However, there's of course an argument you can make that probably maybe our guys, the Americans took him out. But there's a South America and Central America a ton of crash retrieval stories right And a lot of Marine crash retrieval stories. You have Jonathan Wigant, you have, like, the testimony of Michael Herrera, and there are some other whistleblowers who aren't public who have talked about seeing such teams in the continental United States, these black teams with craft. So it's. It's really interesting. And then kind of rounding out the way Gantt story, he was then on the. On the 47, taken to an unknown base, into an underground section of a base where he was held for two days.
Danny
And why was he the only one that was taken out of there?
Sam
That's a great question. My guess is because he was contaminated with the liquid. Oh, Atkins and Allen did not get covered in the liquid. But the weird thing is want didn't have any, like, medical tests, right? Because I've hypothesized he was taken to the Namru Navy Medical Research Unit 6 in Aikitos, Peru. But it's not like he was subjected to blood drawn, all that stuff. The one weird thing is he was forced to give in. Like an. Forced to take an anthrax booster right after that, which Michael Herrera also had to take an anthrax booster after that. And another booster and another Marine also had to take a booster in 97, which is weird that there's a lot of anthrax boosters right after crash retrieval encounters. But I think that's why he's separated. So he doesn't know what happened to Atkins or Allen at this point. But in.
Danny
In he still isn't talking to them since.
Sam
No, he doesn't like him. They don't like him.
Danny
Oh, wow.
Sam
Part of what's a little weird about this case is one of those two Atkins or Allen. I reached out to both, one of them got back to me, and I emailed them just cordially saying, like, hey, I'd like to talk to you about your time in laser strike, specifically 1997 and possibly anomalous crashed aircraft. And I send emails out from my UAP GERB email. It doesn't have my information, right? None of that. So I email one of them, and they respond, hello, my full name, which is, of course, like a bully intimidation tactic. And the guy just tried to call Jonathan crazy, tried to downplay him, but, you know, he did say my full name when I had never given out my information before to him, nor since, nor on my channel has Jonathan.
Danny
Did he tell you about, like, ever being, like, contacted by anyone from the government or intimidated and then tried to, like, shut them up? Shut people trying to shut him up?
Sam
Yeah. And that's part of the reason he went to Greer.
Danny

Now back to the show.
Sam
He said that the FBI would show up at his house and show up at his grandma's house, like, looking to talk to him. He never talked to him, but. So he was pretty spooked. Sort of like the. The men in black. Right, if you want to call them the men in black telling people not to talk about their income. Right, right.
Danny
And these, These, these NEST teams. So these NEST teams are part of the Department of Energy and it's basically like they, they comp. They. They bring in all of the, like, top tier special operators.
Sam
Not quite. And I'm sorry, I should have specified that more. It's more of a science and technology team.
Danny
Okay?
Sam
They just deal with the science. They deal with setting up a site, neutralizing signatures, debriefing, containment, all that stuff. But the interesting thing about NEST is of course, it. It is a DOE department, but it operates out of contractors. Contractors including Raytheon, Lawrence Livermore National Labs, Sandia national labs, and EG&G.E, g, of course, is the infamous company Bob Lazar said hired him to work at Area 51S4 to reverse engineer propulsion devices on the sports model.
Danny
Yeah, I know you cover it deeply in your video, but like, after they extracted him out, does he or does anyone else have any idea what happened to that craft or what they could have done with it?
Sam
No, and that Jonathan and I talked about that. I mean that thing was pretty large. And if it was stuck in granite, how the heck was that thing taken out? Right. Like there were CH47s on the ground. The team would have had to extract this thing from a granite cliff face almost.
Danny
And how does a. Does something get lodged in granite? You would think that like it would have. That would mean it's harder than granite.
Sam
Right.
Danny
If it went through the granite. What kind of material is harder than granite?
Sam
Some sort of meta. Metamaterial maybe like a shield around it. Maybe that translucent mother of pearl effect was some sort of shield like material. And why did it crash? I know you and Jesse talked a little bit about why UFOs crash. Jonathan hypothesizes that this was shot down From a Hawk MiM23 or similar missile system. And I know you know how our highly advanced non human craft shot down. Right. It seems a little bit silly a ballistic missile could take down a spacecraft like that. Well you know maybe, maybe there's some, some truth to that. There's some other cases we can talk about about shootdowns as well as the Strategic Defense Initiative under Reagan which there's a lot of really interesting ties that there were some backdoor programs for some space based shoot down weapons of UFOs. But what we thinks here is this was a Hawk MIM23 airburst system that just exploded near the target and some of the fragging just took it out.
Danny
Oh like a shotgun blast.
Sam
But that's what he thinks. Right? He doesn't have any sort of confirming evidence for that. It's just speculation on his part.
Danny
Yeah. And then when he. So he claimed in 2000 that he. They were like telepathically communicating with him. That's wild.
Sam
But what's interesting too, he talks about it. He talked about like a three, four fingered arm hanging out the crowd. Greer edited that out of, of his of want's interview.
Danny
Why do you think that is?
Sam
I have no idea. Because Greer likes to speak about kind of love and light communication and these beings were very friendly to Jonathan asking for help, saying everything's going to be okay. So I don't know. In that same interview Greer also cut out James Fox asking Jonathan questions. Now why was that? I. I don't know. I don't know why Green would cut it out.
Danny
But you know, maybe he didn't want to. Maybe he thought like the descriptions of fingers and like some weird alien arm hanging out would make it more unbelievable and he Wanted to kind of like leave the stuff in there that was more plausible.
Sam
Yeah. But with the stories of crash retrieval, there's always the baggage of biologics, right? Some there's. Oh, and on so many cases with crash retrievals, there's stories of biologics. And I think that for a lot of people is a big, big stretch to kind of wrap their head around. Because it's one thing to think that non human spacecraft, maybe from another planet, maybe from a different existence, maybe future humans, like Dr. Mike Masters likes to kind of hypothesize on, is crashing here. Whole nother subject to think that there are beans in here and what those could be, their possible morphologies and so forth.
Danny
Yeah. I'm sure you've heard. I'm sure you've heard the story of Annie Jacobson's Description of Area 51. Oh, yeah, she talked to. From. From EG&G. What do you make of that?
Sam
So George Knapp. I'm trying to think about that guy's name. It's slipping me right now.
Danny
She only released it like last year, I think after she dropped her book. She kept it secret in the book. Right. But she released his name because I think he's dead now.
Sam
Yes. So I'm trying to think. And I'm trying to think what the name is, but this was a source of George Knapp's 10, 20 years before that, the guy who worked at EG&G at Area 51, head of special projects.
Danny
Okay.
Sam
This guy told George. Nat. George told George Knapp. And you can look at it in a weaponized interview with him and Jeremy Corbell. I'll send you the link.
Danny
I remember seeing this.
Sam
He said that. That Director of special programs at EG&G told George Knapp that there were beans and craft held at Area 51 and told Annie Jacobson something completely different.
Danny
Why would he do that? That's strange.
Sam
Isn't that interesting?
Danny
Because Annie's description is very. It's so detailed because she's with the family and him. And apparently he told his family this for the first time and they were like, really upset about it. Like, how do you make that. I mean. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know what to think about that.
Sam
Especially because in that weaponized interview, George Knapp was a little bit hot under the collar because he said, like, hey, I, I'm. I. Gosh, I'm trying to remember this guy's name, Steve.
Danny
Maybe you can find it.
Sam
He. He says that this E, G and.
Danny
G and he just type in Annie Jacobson, E, G and G. Yeah, basically what. Basically what this guy told Annie. And this was way after he talked to George Knapp, obviously. Or was it because.
Sam
Yeah, it was like 10 years after.
Danny
It was 10 years after. Okay. Basically what he told Annie is that it was a Russian drone that was flown here for.
Sam
By disfigured people.
Danny
Right. By disfigured people. By Mengele. The. The Nazi guy disfigured children basically to make them look like aliens. And they crashed. It crashed, whether on purpose or not. And, and he was like, well, why.
Sam
Wouldn'T you expose Donald Alfred o'? Donnell?
Danny
So she asked him, she goes, well, that's up. Why wouldn't. Why would the US Government keep this secret? Because this makes the Soviets or Russia look terrible. And he said the reason they didn't expose it is because EG&G started doing the same exact thing with children.
Sam
See, that's. That's interesting that. That said. Because.
Danny
And she said his whole family was there.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
Listening to this. And they were like, why did you keep this from us? That's just terrible.
Sam
That's also something that was parroted by Rick Doty, Air Force.
Danny
The same thing.
Sam
OSI officer. Yeah. And Greer's. I think it was his 2017 documentary Unacknowledged. That was the first time I ever heard of Roswell specifically being like disfigured people sent from Russia, which I don't know. It's interesting that Alfred o' Donnell on one hand told George Knapp that there are non human beings and craft under Area 51 and told Annie Jacobson that this was a Russian experiment. Regardless of. Of outside Andy Jacobson and George Knapp, there's plenty about Area 51 specifically and of course EG and G that's well worth investigation. And as well as that kind of dives into the subject of. Of contractors with UFO technology, UFO materials, UFO bodies. It's a. It's a pretty deep rabbit hole that there's a lot too, outside of just Albert o'. Donnell. Because that's so weird. He tells Nap one thing and. And Jacobson another.
Danny
Yeah, it is weird. And it makes me. It makes me wonder if. If what he told Annie was more closer to the truth because he was older, a lot older, closer to his death, and his family was there and he told his family and they were visibly upset, according to Annie. Unless Andy's making it up, which I doubt she is.
Sam
I doubt she is either. Annie seems pretty respectful. I know she disagrees a lot with some of the More UFO stuff. But doesn't she also, she also is a Proprietor that Area 51S4 is, is real, right?
Danny
Yes.
Sam
Like I think she's put forward a badge of somebody who worked at Site four.
Danny
Oh, I don't know about that. I don't know about that.
Sam
And of course Site four is what Bob Lazar said he worked with the sports model for S4IS. S4 is really interesting. It's like the auxiliary site below Groom Lake. It's just south of groom lake, area 51. And then you have Tonopa, just northwest.
Danny
Yeah, yeah. The S4 stuff is crazy, man. I, I don't know. I don't think, I don't remember if she talked about S4 in the, in the area 51 book or not. But it's really interesting. Some of the stuff that were, they were doing at Area 51 right after World War II. And you know, she explains how the money was stolen. I think it was Dulles stole a bunch of money from the Reconstruction in Europe fund to build Area 51. And they were doing all kinds of crazy CIA test flights and building, you know, building the, those, those, those Blackbirds. Yeah, those. And the U2 and all that stuff there. But I don't know. I don't know. Like, do you think that Area 51 is still being utilized for this kind of stuff?
Sam
Probably. And I also think that there's probably underground facilities beneath Area 51 specifically maybe a facility built into the pre existing boron mine there. And that could be considered a deep underground military base. So I made a video on. There was this whistleblower who went really quiet. He was a lieutenant colonel at Edwards Air Force Base out of the 412 test wing. The Edwards 412 test wing is what's called a major range test facility base and MrTFBs. An MrTFB. There's just over 20 in the continental United States. These include things like Dugway Proving Ground, the Utah Test and Training Range, Fort Huachuca, Edwards 412, China Lake, Pax river and your favorite that you talked about with Dolan Altech, the Atlantic Undersea Test and Evaluation Command.
Danny
Right.
Sam
These operate between Navy Air Force, army and Defense Organization. Right. So Edwards 412 is a MrTFB. And this individual, I call him Ed just because I don't want to burn his real name. Ed claimed that he worked as an electronics warfare test director at Edwards Air Force base at the 412 testing reverse engineered vehicles, reverse engineered ARV, alien reproduction vehicles, whatever you want to call him, and that he was initially stationed at Nellis Air Force Base, where he operated under Nellis between edwards at Area 51 and S4. And the thing is this. I hope this guy goes public sometime because I've tried to track him down with every avenue. I have his name, I have his number, I have called him, he's blocked me, I've emailed him, he's blocked me, I've texted him, he's blocked me. Heck, I've even added him on Snapchat. And funny enough, that's the one place where he's ever, like, read my message and not block me. Snapchat. This is a grown man. And his official records do, of course, say he was at Area 51, that he was at Nellis Air Force Base, that he was at Edwards. And so this guy claims that he worked on Revert, serving as the test director on Reverse Engineered Vehicles, kind of operating as the middleman between scientists and ARV pilots. And so I think that that existing program, which he said existed between Area 51, S4 and Edwards, is likely still going on today. But of course, that's a. That's a pretty. That's a topic that requires a lot of kind of, I guess, credibility in UFO crash retrievals to think about arv, alien reproduction vehicles and kind of reverse engineering vehicles.
Danny
Where.
Sam
What do you think about that? I know you've talked to Jesse a little bit kind of on your stance about ufo. Where do you. Where do you stand specifically on copycat vehicles, if so to speak?
Danny
I don't know. I have no idea. Like you're saying, you're saying, like, what do I think about us being able to recreate a ufo? Yeah, like the Tic Tac type stuff.
Sam
Tic tac triangles, saucers.
Danny
I don't know. I think I. I think it's a mix of probably right. I think, like, the Tic Tac was likely something that we have, that we created. You know, maybe some black aerospace or like Lockheed or something like that. Some sort of, like, black technology that nobody knows about. Maybe that's part of the $21 trillion that's missing that Catherine was talking about that created the Tic Tacs or something like that. I don't think it was, like foreign military. I think it was probably us testing our own stuff on those jets that had just gotten their radar upgraded. Now, you know, what Dolan was explaining to me is that there's documented accounts of these underwater UFOs coming out of the ocean in like, 17. 17, which is crazy. And, and since talking to him, it's you know, it's apparent that there's just a mixed bag of here. Like, is it something that's been here for, for millions of years that lives under the water? Is it. It's probably also us that we've probably recreated that we found. You know, then additionally, what me and Jesse were talking about is like he was explaining how all this anti gravity research went dark in the 50s and just, and just went nowhere. And then string theory came about. So like that probably has something to do with it, the Townsend Brown stuff. You know, there's, there's a. So many pieces to this puzzle, it's crazy.
Sam
Well, I know you and Dolan were talking about the subject of uso and I know you guys brought up the underwater nro.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
You didn't dive too much into it. So that's, that's something we, I'd love to talk about because it's so intriguing.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
And also involves a pretty interesting. Two really interesting crash retrieval stories.
Danny
So how come I've never heard of the underwater. Is it classified? Is it.
Sam
Oh yeah.
Danny
Hey guys, if you're not already subscribed, please hammer the subscribe button below and hit the like button on the video back to the show. So it's not. There's no website for the underwater nro?
Sam
No, because you would think they could.
Danny
Make an excuse for it. They could say, oh yeah, we're just trying to monitor nuclear submarines, you know, adversary submarines.
Sam
So there is a Wikipedia page that's crap that calls it the hidden younger brother of the NRO. So in U.S. intelligence you have the big five agencies. The CIA, NSA, DIA, NRO and NGA. And then there's the hidden Neuro, the National Underwater Reconnaissance Office whose activities are seemingly more sensitive than even the NROs. There are admirals in the Navy that I have spoken to who did not know that Neuro was a thing really. And so I sent them a little bit of stuff on Neuro and they went, oh, so there's a couple, there's a couple books such as the the Intelligence Community by Jeffrey T. Richelson. Great book. I really recommend everybody read that and some other sources that can really dive in to learn a bit more. Neuro as well as former Admiral, Director of Naval Intelligence, CIA Deputy Director, NSA Director Bobby Ray Inman. Bobby Ray Inman in a. I think it was 2018. Finally admitted in a speech at some university in 2018 that he directed Neuro. But he still couldn't talk about it to this day, which is interesting. He said when he became director of naval intelligence, he wore another hat, that was Neuro, but they still didn't want him to talk about it. And in another interview with, for a university, I think this was some California university, He said that he had got in trouble before for talking about Neuro. So Neuro was started in 1969 and it was started to kind of coordinate the Navy's and the CIA's reconnaissance activities, similar to the how the NRO was started to coordinate the Air Force's and the CIA's activities. Right. And so part of the founding programs for Neuro were to kind of coordinate operations, keep track of and commence missions with some of our sensitive nuclear submarines, kind of tap undersea cables. I think this was called the Ivy bells program. And as well as just underwater reconnaissance, underwater monitoring, the Neuro was supposed to exist between the Navy and CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology. Now that Directorate of Science and technology, we can talk a lot more about that because that has some tremendous connections to UFO crash retrievals. But really early on, the CIA just kind of took command of Neuro. And it wasn't until 1972, three years after its creation, that John Warner, secretary of the navy, was finally put as Neuro's director. But then it changed hands back a little bit because in 74, Bobby Ray Inman became director of Neuro and of course he went on to be a CIA spook. So Nero's kind of claim to fame is using vessels like the USS Halibut, USS Seawolf, the USS Jimmy Carter, the NR1, the United States smallest nuclear submarine, and the Glomar Explorer. Have you heard of the Glomar Explorer? Yeah, yeah, so, so K129, Soviet sub crashes near Hawaii, a little bit northwest. The CIA and Neuro create the Glomar explorer to go retrieve the vessel. And I think it embarks in 1972. Right. And conventional wisdom, only a third of the K129 is retrieved. Uh, maybe more, probably more. And it might be buried up in the Pacific Northwest. But then the Glomar went on to be used by Lockheed Martin and its subsidiaries for 20 years for quote, unquote, deep sea mining operations and such. So the, the really, really, really interesting kind of connections with Neuro come with chief scientist of special projects for the navy, John P. Craven. And so in 1964, John P. Craven was set to start the deep systems or deep submergent systems project, the dssp. And I'm sorry, there's a ton of acronyms, I'll try to spell them all out. That's something I get flack for a lot. And this was to drastically increase the Navy's deep ocean engineering capabilities. And so the DSSP gave Craven the task. We need you to be able to commence engineering and Navy operations at way bigger depths. So 1964, Craven starts the DSSP. In 1965, Craven receives a classified briefing of something called Project Sand Dollar. Sand Dollar is the earliest, probably SAP within SAP within SAP we can kind of make sense of. It was a program that was hidden within a program hidden within another program hidden within the Polaris Summer Polaris submarine missile program, which was, oddly enough, spearheaded by Admiral Rayborn, who went on to go work at saic, but we can talk about that later. But this program was highly classified and an itemized inventory of a collection of objects on the sea floor for national security importance, ranging from the Atlantic just all around the world. And it wasn't just aircraft or nuclear stuff. So commencing after that briefing in 1965 on sand dollar, craven under the DSSP, the Deep System Submergence Projects, creates the DSRV, Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle and DSSV, Deep Submergence Search Vehicle. And these are supposed to be vehicles that kind of can satisfy the dssp. So the dsrv, the Deep Submergence Rescue Vehicle, is supposed to be basically a submarine rescue vehicle. This was out of response to the loss of the USS Thresher. And this would be something that a submarine team can get in a small little submarine that can be transported anywhere around the world in 72 hours. It's that rapid reaction. It can be piggybacked on. On a vess. Specifically, Craven says in the Silent War, his memoirs, the USS Halibut and the USS Seawolf, two Neuro vessels that he directly names to rescue any submarine crew anywhere in the world. La di ladi da. And the dssv, which is used for ocean surveying, ocean engineering retrieval operations and so forth. There were supposed to be 6DSRV and 6DSSV, the two submersible units built. But only two DSRVs were ever built, the mystic and Avalon out of Lockheed Martin. So there were only two of those ever built. However, that brings me to a. A really interesting crash retrieval story. So in, you know, Art, the Art Bell show, right?
Danny
Yes.
Sam
So in 2002, I think it was about summer of 2002, a caller came on air and said, hello, my name is Mark. I was a former Marine diver that went on to go work on a DSRB crew. And so this guy tells the story of in 1991 or 1992. I'm getting the dates a little bit wrong. There was a survey ship in the north Atlantic about 250 miles outside of Aberdeen, Scotland, that picked up radiological signatures on the sea floor and that the DSRV was dispatched to go check this thing out. And so the. The group is steamed out to the North Atlantic. I think this is in the Rockwell Rockall Trough in the North Atlantic, just northwest of Aberdeen, Scotland. Because I looked at, like, depths and this guy said this was about a mile and a half de Mark did. And so the team dives.
Danny
So. So where specifically would it be again?
Sam
The Rockall Trough. The Rockall Trough, yes. Rock Al.
Danny
Pull up a map of that if you can, Steve.
Sam
So the team dives in the dsrv, which could also be a dssv, a Deep System Search Vehicle, one of the two, because Craven said that John P. Craven, remember, chief scientist of Special Projects out of the Navy, that although there were never official missions for DSRV or DSSV because no submarines ever sunk after the thresher, these were sent on numerous clandestine operations.
Danny
Wow.
Sam
It might be a Google Earth search. Might be a little bit better.
Danny
Well, you had it, but then you lost it. There you go. Rock Rockall.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
Hit layers on the bottom left. Zoom in on that. Oh, shit. Look at that.
Sam
Yeah. So this was about a mile and a half deep. So we need over 8,000ft sea floor.
Danny
Wow.
Sam
And so Mark and his group are steamed out from Virginia. My guess is this is a really clandestine DSSV because the DSSV have operational depths of 20,000ft, but were apparently never built, but used, according to Craven, for clandestine purposes to this region. The team dives. By the time they get to the seafloor, they see a large triangle wedged in the seafloor. The triangle has no cockpit, no visible means of propulsion. It's wedged in the sea floor, and around its circumference has glyphic writing. Same thing as the 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania crash. Same thing as the Roswell I beam. Same thing as what Danny Sheehan has said he found in the classified Blue Book files. And so there's a really anomalous triangle down here that there's no visible means of propulsion, nothing they can see. So the team goes back up, informs the steam ship what they saw, a marine archaeologist is brought down. They go take photos, videos, and survey the vessel. The marine archaeologist estimates that that triangle had been buried within the seafloor for 30 or 40 years. And so eventually the team is Tasked with rigging materials to the craft to try to bring it up. And because the size is about 70ft in height, the team estimates this is about the weight of an F14. Right. And an F14 is interesting because the NR1 had previously recovered a lost F14 off a US aircraft carrier. But so the. The object is rigged up, you know, the crew makes estimates based off the. The size, what metal might be, you know, involved brushed aluminum and so forth. But this object rises about three or four times faster once buoyancy is attached to it, and it's kind of brought up to the ocean surface. The craft is eventually rigged up. Mark, once the DSRV crew is back on board, gets to see the craft again, this time in person. About 70ft long, little bit rounded of a back like a perfect triangle. Glyphic writing along the side, like gunmetal color. No visible means propulsion, no lights. And eventually he and his crew are steamed off ship, never given another word about this. Not sold to sign any NDAs or anything, which is kind of interesting. But apparently the work they did was inherently classified because the dsrv, and the DSSV was used for classified operations under Neuro.
Danny
That's wild.
Sam
Yeah, it's a really interesting story. And it just went on Art Bell once. And I'm trying to track this down because Mark drew sketches of this for Art Bell, and he also provided Art Bell the names of the other Navy guys he was with. So I want to track these guys down and find out more about this story.
Danny
Have you tried reaching out?
Sam
Yeah, I know a guy who used to work for Art Bell, and I'm trying. No luck, because Art Bell has passed. But, gosh, would that be. Would that be something to. To get after?
Danny
Yeah. I wonder how many more stories there are like that of retrieving stuff under the oceans, you know, because you don't really hear about that kind of stuff.
Sam
No. There's 1967, Shag harbor, of course, which occurred in Canada. But here's a real treat. In 1972, there was an encounter of a man who worked as a gunnery instructor at Great Lakes Naval Station near Chicago. This guy, I think he went by a pseudonym, rk, Relate his story to Leonard Stringfield. Leonard Stringfield is one of the greatest UFO crash retrieval investigators of all time. Wrote status reports 1 through 7 on UFO crash retrieval. RK claimed that in 72, at the Great Lakes Naval Station in Chicago, he was tasked to kind of deliver orders, deliver a message to, you know, a commanding officer. So as he goes to deliver to the commanding office officer, he passes into a Quonset style hunt hut on the premises. And in there is a large metallic teardrop shaped craft. No visible means of propulsion. Looks like a teardrop. Looks like a perfect mix between a teardrop and an egg. Very smooth one color and so forth. But here's what's interesting. He, he then meets a guy that was stationed in San Diego in the Navy. And this Navy guy said that he knew about that craft that was brought down and that it was brought down by a naval destroyer and recovered by the Glomar explorer north of Hawaii in 1972.
Danny
Wow. We've explored more of the moon than we have of our own ocean floors. It's crazy. And if you look at, we were talking about this with Richard Dolan too. Like you can literally turn the globe. If you look at the Pacific O ocean, you can see there's a, there's a. No land. Yeah, it covers up more huge. It's like a massive amount of this Earth is ocean.
Sam
So what's interesting about the, the creation of Neuro, the Deep Submergent Systems Project and all this in 1964. It seems like Sand Dollar had existed previously with an itemized inventory of everything that existed on the sea floor of national security interest. But until Craven created the DSSP following Sand Dollar and then Neural was created, there was no way the Navy could retrieve these items. So it seems like the US Navy had a large itemized inventory of all of these objects on the sea floor. But until Craven drastically increased the depths at which the Navy could conduct engineering operations and retrieval operations, those just sat there.
Danny
Now what do you know about the, that base in the Bahamas that me and Jesse was talking about? Oh, tech. Yeah. Is that still, is that thing still operational? Are they still doing work there?
Sam
I, I'm not. But that brings up the, the point of like underwater bases, right?
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
There's a, there's a great author, his name's Richard Sauter. He has a book called Underground and Undersea Bases where he talks about possible undersea bases worldwide, which is really interesting. And of course there's, it's very likely that there are like undersea Neuro bases for submarine refueling and such, but. Oh, I mean, the concept of undersea bases is interesting because already underground bases is, is incredibly interesting.
Danny
The question about undersea bases is how do you power them?
Sam
The logistics sound like a nightmare.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
At least for us.
Danny
It seems like optimal though, right? Yeah.
Sam
For cooling, especially if you have some sort of high temperature reactor. I mean, in the 1960s, the US Army Corps of Engineer published a bunch of deep basing studies on where to place deep underground military bases throughout the continental United States, but also published a ton of papers such as like self contained nuclear reactors to power stiffs, subterranean facilities and so forth with.
Danny
Wow. Yeah, that's one of the things that Catherine was saying that a lot of the missing money she thinks has been going to funding these constructions of these underground bases.
Sam
Yeah, that's I think one of the most interesting topics in this subject because you know, I've done a project on directly relating those to UFO programs and craft and materials being stored underground. And I have a friend who was former Army Public affairs, this was about 2010 to 2013 area. And he relayed to me that he traveled between a stiff, a subterranean facility, as they call him, under Fort Bliss, Texas and White Sands to missile range. And he traveled between these locations via train.
Danny
Wow.
Sam
And he said that the train went so fast it reminded him of his fear of flying.
Danny
Oh my God.
Sam
Because a lot of people will look at the kind of underground bases systems and connective tunnels and scoff it a little bit because it's a logistic and engineering nightmare.
Danny
Right.
Sam
But you know, I digress. Back in the 1970s, the Rand Corporation, which is known as a federally funded research and development center, ffrdc, one of the employees, high up scientists of the Rand Corporation published something called the vhst, the very High Speed Transit system, which was a massive underground train system that would connect New York to Los Angeles and basically be a massive underground tunnel system. And of course, if these tunnel systems exist, I think it's highly likely we got some of that technology and ideas from the Nazis. Yeah, you know, before, before the end of World War II, there was, there was a system called the Roarbond by some German scientists which was a pneumatic train system to exist under Germany and to connect Berlin to France or Paris, and a network of underground train systems to go at incredible speeds.
Danny
This was a concept.
Sam
Yeah, but here's what's not a concept that's really interesting. So Xavier Dorsch was head of the ToT organization in Nazi Germany. The Todd organization had created the Autobahn, you know, that famous German highway with endless speeds. And at this time, Hans Kamler and various really nasty Nazi scientists were using underground locations for aircraft manufacturing and so forth for contractors. But as well as continuity of government sites such as the Regan Wormlager in Poland and Ohrdruf, which are these really, really crazy advanced underground locations that I think it was Ordruf even Had like its own underground rail system connecting it. It was self contained. And so Xavier Dorsch was one of these whiz kid engineers for the TOT organization, which is similar to the US Army Corps of Engineers in 1947 with Operation Paperclip where the US brought over a bunch of Nazi scientists, there was one report from Air Material Command that requested Xavier Dor specifically as well as three other German Nazi technicians for underground plant construction. So I think immediately after post World War II is when underground or facilities or stiffs immediately began construction because we plucked some of the Nazis best and brightest who had created such intricate structures under Germany to, to come work for us.
Danny
Yeah. And if that stuff does exist, if they are spending money on all this crazy stuff and you know they have all these secret programs to recover crafts and to build underground highways and, and bunkers, that would explain where a lot of that money is going that Katherine Fitz was talking about. Those trillions of dollars.
Sam
Not cheap, right?
Danny
No, it's definitely not cheap. And you know, the other question is who, who's in charge of it? Yeah, who has control over all of it?
Sam
You know, analyzing the structure of the supposed UFO legacy programs is so difficult to track. Right. You know, if there are programs which of course I, I believe very strongly there are, that there are DOD contractor ffrdc U ARC University affiliated research center programs that deal with the exploitation, recovery and engineering of non human technologies. How are these programs structured? What sort of communication is done across the programs? How are the intelligence communities involved? And at the top of this, who is, who is pulling the strings? Because it's not like this is a above board Air Force project, above board Navy project, not like a CIA project. All of this is inherently born within SAPs and USAPs, unacknowledged special opera, special access programs. Sorry, which Congress and even the executive branch to a certain degree doesn't need to be read in. You have to have a need to know to access these things, right?
Danny
Yeah, that's what Stephen Greer was explaining to me. He was like, he was explaining to me how like these tops top Joint Chiefs of Staff people can't even get access to some of this stuff. And that's, and the way he was describing it to me is like imagine if Lockheed or one of these companies like this got so much technology that advanced so much after getting all this black budget that they've basically gone off the rails so far to where they have more power than like every foreign and domestic military combined to where they're kind of like a, like A. A breakaway military superpower that like, doesn't have to answer to anybody.
Sam
If like Catherine Austin Fitz says if there is a. Some sort of segment existing within the U. S. Military intelligence that has a secret space program, they are. Have the asymmetric advantage in every single warfighter capability. If somebody has ARV alien reproduction vehicles, which I believe they do, of course, they have all a tremendous amount of advantages over any traditional human military. I mean, this is something David Grush has talked about as well in his News Nation. You.
Danny
Sorry to interrupt. You see Elon's tweet today?
Sam
No, what did he tweet?
Danny
It might have been today or yesterday, but it was. Stephen, you can probably pull it up to a couple. I'm gonna. I gotta. I might get it wrong, but he said something to the effect of like, when hits the fan, at least we have spaceships or something like this.
Sam
Yeah, but what's Elon on about? Right? He was on Joe Rogan and he's told Joe Rogan he knows there's no aliens because he has an all access pass to DOD programs. That's nonsense. An all access pass to special access program. Unacknowledged Special access program excluded program material. No foreign classification, Special access required classification. Absolute nonsense. You have to have a need to know to read into these programs. What you're talking about with Greer and some of these Joint Chiefs not being accessed. He's talking about Thomas Wilson from the Wilson Davis memo, who was Deputy Director of the DIA at the time, I believe. And he tried to gain access to some of the these programs and was stonewalled by the Special Access Program Oversight Committee Senior Review Group.
Danny
So Elon would definitely not have access. No.
Sam
Unless he has a specific need to know for specific programs. Like, let's say that some of his Starlink satellites are interfering with the NRO's AI sentient program. Right. That. You know, there's some FOIA documents in 2023 show that the NRO sentient program had monitored tic tacs over redacted locations. Then Elon might be tangentially briefed on some aspects of that program. But. No, unless he has a need to know, there will be no. No read into those programs. That's just. That's just nonsense.
Danny
Yeah, I mean, he's launching all those freaking rockets and satellites into space. You would imagine that he's got some sort of peripheral knowledge of something. Even if he does, even if he hasn't been read in, right? Like he's surrounded by these people and he's surrounded by that guy Tim, who was in Taylor the book, who, you know, who's like super esoteric and all this stuff and super into all this stuff, visited Chris Bledsoe and all these people. And if that guy's working for him and talking to him like, how is it possible that he not has serious conversations about it, whether it be like a, a full read in or not?
Sam
You know, I'd wager it's probably high probability he's read in on a UFO reality. Right. I mean, it seems like, like, here's.
Danny
The thing, it's very suspicious that he just writes it off.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
And dismisses it like that.
Sam
Or jokes about it saying, oh, I'm an alien, something like that. Our good mutual friend Jesse Michaels was just on Joe Rogan and they, Joe and Jesse both said, no, I, I think Elon's BSing a little bit about that because it's the world of special access program access programs, special access required use apps. And that stuff gets into some real, real, real strict access. I mean the, the Wilson Davis memo is a perfect example. This talks, this recounts a conversation between Admiral Thomas Wilson and Eric Davis in 2002 in the parking lot of EG&G in Nevada. And this hearkens back to 1997 where Stephen Greer, Brigadier General Stephen Luvkin, Commander Will miller of the U.S. navy and astronaut Edgar Mitchell engaged in briefings with Admiral Thomas Wilson, which happen like this. Even Wilson agrees that this happened, even though he disputes the memo, that they briefed Wilson into the reality of, of UFO special access programs. And Wilson went, according to the documents, according to the Wilson Davis memo, Wilson went on a big hunt to try to find these special access programs that were working on UFOs. And what he found was that these programs were gatekept by the Special Access Program Oversight Committee Senior Review Group. And this was set up in 1993, 1994, after a near audit almost exposed some of these programs. But what's really interesting about that is one of the contractors that I, I think are up to their eyeballs in UFO Legacy Program operations is Northrop Grumman, creator of the B2, creator of the B21 Spirit bomber. They in 2003 absorbed a company called TRW. TRW, or the great Richard Dolan, theorizes TRW is the contractor behind Zodiac, which was possibly a Romana Clay. A fictional story posted by pseudonym Sedge masters about a UFO crash retrieval. TRW also bought up BDM. BDM is of course a company that U.S. army General of INSCOM, Albert Stubblebine, who's really interesting as well, went on to go work for in 1985, but TRW in 1993 or 1994, right around the time SAPOK was reorganized to structure the Senior Review Group to gatekeep legacy programs, was sued for a Hun or owed the US government $111 million for overcharging on space program. And so one can't help but to think that this, there might be connections here because Northrop Grumman purchases TRW in 2002, 2003 and immediately pays off that lawsuit for them, which is really interesting. And also there's some General Accounting office documents in 1993 that talk about the Navy and the Air Force specifically not complying with SAP regulations. They talk about the army complying with SAP regulations. And that's really interesting because as, as far as I know from just people I've talked to and con I've had the, the army participates in a lot of research, development, tests and evaluation of non human technology, but does it in a very streamlined fashion with contracts with generals overseeing it and so forth.
Danny
Hmm. And it's not super classified you're saying?
Sam
No, it's very classified, but it has probably more oversight than something like Neuro, something like Air Force, something like ED if he's really testing reverse engineered triangles. So out there at, at Edwards Air Force Base.
Danny
Right, right, right. Yeah. Another thing we, we, I think we glossed over in the beginning, which I, I just remembered was during Jonathan, when Jonathan was sent out to go see that crash, that craft in Peru, wasn't there reports of something flying in and out of the atmosphere like at super high speeds?
Sam
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And that's really interesting because Jonathan said he heard Air Force personnel talking about craft entering and exiting Earth's atmosphere at like Mach 10 plus. Yeah, but that's also, there's really intriguing connections there because we also Talked about the DSP, the Defense Support Program working with NEST later in 1997 to monitor Russian space debris over South America and Peru. Well, you know, you remember WikiLeaks, right?
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
So in WikiLeaks there was Hillary Clinton campaign manager John Podesta. Oh yeah, and John Podesta had email exchanges with former DOD contractor Bob Fish.
Danny
Yes.
Sam
And in these contractors Bob Fish is talking about how the DSP was one of the highest profile programs that track UFOs. And there's old, old stories, I think this is in the 80s of DSP satellites monitoring UFOs that pass within a mile and a half at 22,000 miles per hour. Of the satellite. So were these YOUSAF personnel working with the DSP and were they specifically tracking UFOs? Was there some part of Laser Strike that KNEW There was UFO activity in tracking this stuff? I mean, 22,000 miles per hour is absolutely bananas.
Danny
Yeah. Especially in like the 90s.
Sam
Yeah. And especially making in what seems to be intelligent maneuvers because this. Who knows if that's the case, but all weygant knows is that he was, he and the other grunts were just kind of set off, set out to uncover what seemed to be a crashed friendly or foreign aircraft.
Danny
Right.
Sam
And it wasn't a secret mission. It was just, hey, go secure this lz. Something on our radar crashed, Go see what it was. It wasn't a UFO mission, it wasn't a secret thing. I think the biggest question of that whole operation is who were these guys in black cammies and black fatigues that held Jonathan at gunpoint? Are these crash retrieval operators? Are they like a rapid reaction unit? Because if you look at a couple years from a couple years from Jonathan's encounter in 1997, the CIA Directorate of Science and Technology Deputy Director Carl Wolf began what's called the CIA's Office of Global Access. The Office of Global Access. Been accused by myself, by great reporters like Christopher Sharp at the Liberation Times, who's incredibly brilliant in of running foreign crash retrieval programs and working with JSOC Joint Special Operations Command. So one must ask, was this an element of JSOC retrieval teams? Of course, before he went public, Jake Barber, under a pseudonym wrote the Sentinels of ether little manuscript where he talked about kind of blue on blue retrieval team action and a JSOC unit firing upon U.S. forces that were interested in know craft retrieval and working in UFO programs. So what are these special operators? It's, it's, it's a really interesting question because there's tons of testimony of dedicated rapid reaction units. Or are these local special forces guy like I hypothesized in the Jonathan video of Local 7 US Army, 7 Special Forces, Green Berets just plugged in, said hey, you got to go recover this. These guys are pretty severe, you know, pretty highly trained guys. Are they just pulled in on happenstance or are these dedicated teams brought in the.
Danny
What's the guy's name again?
Sam
Jonathan?
Danny
No, no, the other guy, this guy who went on Jesse, he talked about the psionic stuff.
Sam
Oh, Jake Barber.
Danny
Jake Barber, yeah. The Jake Barber stuff was apparently corroborated with the Michael Herrera stuff because he like he was. Is it true that like he was going in to try to like, red team, Red whatever. Red team. I hate that word. He was basically trying to like, like catch these whistleblowers and like, prosecute him for, like, leaking classified information. And then he saw Michael Herrera talk and then he was basically like, oh, my God, I was a part of this.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
And that's when he allegedly decided to, like, join the other side and, like, blow the whistle himself.
Sam
Yeah. I'm so glad that happened. I remember when Jake Barber did the extended video with Ross and mentioned Michael because for over a year at that point I had been sworn to secrecy from Michael, not talking about his quote, unquote, insider writer, because Michael put a. Michael had, you know, kept me give. Giving me the skinny about what had been going on for a long time, including where he was taken by Jake Barber.
Danny
So he's on the stuff, like, personally.
Sam
Range.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
And I knew. I knew Jake Barber by a different name at this point. But yes, it is true that Jake Barber was tasked to infiltrate Greer's camp and kind of try and maybe set up whistleblowers. I don't know. I think the question needs to be asked, did Greer know this? Was Jake sent in to promise him high level information? And did Greer know about this and willingly let Barber in, knowing that he was an agent for possibly an agency? Because around the same time, 2023, there are multiple Greer whistleblowers who I have found in Greer's DPI archive, his Disclosure Project Initiative archive, and I form friendship and relationships with that, contacted Greer and always in 2023, they started facing reprisals. They started getting threats to their pension. There's one guy in Greer's archive under the number 10, 8, 9, 2. This guy talks about being on an alien reproduction vehicle retrieval team at Nellis Air Force Base and kind of witnessing the touchdown of a Sunflower extraterrestrial craft that he cut off contact with Greer because he was threatened with inappropriate, you know, explicit underage content.
Danny
Oh, my God.
Sam
Yeah. And so this stuff all happened around starting. Started really ramping up around 2023. And so did you know, Is. Is there a connection there? One must ask. It's. It's quite perplexing.
Danny
It really is, man.
Sam
But also, who knows? Greer's operational security is absolutely abhorrent. So there's no excuse that I should be able to go into his archives and. And be able to track down some of the whistleblowers. No excuse.
Danny
Right.
Sam
I. The operational security is so bad I should not be able to do that. That. But I I'm just glad that it was me who was able to do that with some people and not, you know, somebody else. Unless agency folks have done that and kind of tracked down whistleblowers and threatened them with their pension. Because some, some of these high level whistleblowers have spoken to Greer in the past because he's really was the only guy to turn to for a long time. Right. He ran the disclosure project.
Danny
That's the crazy thing about him. I mean, a lot of pe. Everybody hates Greer for the most part. I've never heard anyone say anything nice about him except for Jesse Michaels. Jesse Michaels is the one person who's like, like, bro, you got to give him credit. He's been doing this forever. He's, he's brought forward the most amount of whistleblowers that have divulged the most amount of information. So, like, you know, take it for what it's worth. He's, he's done more harm than good, or, I'm sorry, more good than harm.
Sam
I, I don't have a, I've never spoken to Greer. I don't plan to. He and I don't have a good relationship. He called me an intelligence asset, so I'm not, I'm not too. And he's also hurt many of my friends, so I'm not too high up on Greer. I, I think that he kind of has his own vested interest in a lot of, of the testimonies he receives. I think he treats whistleblowers that come to him like his whistleblowers instead of their own autonomous people that should be directed to, you know, people like David Grush to disclose to or Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. Yeah, So I think it's very complicated, but I, personally, I, I'm not a, a huge fan. I don't really like being called an intelligence asset or him hurt my friends.
Danny
Yeah, yeah. No, there's definitely some, some personality quirks there.
Sam
But what I would like to see is, you know how he always calls out Lou Elizondo?
Danny
Yes. He's got this crazy, there's this crazy dynamic between him, him and Lou Elizondo, and I'd love to hear what you think about that.
Sam
I don't, I, I don't, I would rather err on the side of, like, pushing for disclosure instead of, like, trying to get into, like, interpersonal problems and so forth. Especially a character like Lou who is surrounded by a lot of controversy. Yeah, I, I, I do think, and all I'll say is I, I think more questions need to be Asked in documents, Foia about his time at SIFA in the early 2000s, the counterintelligence field activity.
Danny
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Sam
I. On a, On a pedestal of, of like high level whistleblowers. I put David Grush and then, and then, you know, others. But I don't like to engage in the drama, but I would like to see a debate between those two, Greer and Elizondo that would be really fantastic and interesting to see because Greer always calls Elizondo a asset, basically a disinformation asset.
Danny
Well, don't they have the same lawyer? Isn't Danny Sheehan represent both of them?
Sam
Yeah, Sheehan used to work for the Disclosure Project. I don't know if he still does. A lot of people used to work for the Disclosure project. Leslie Kane, you know, the article, the 2017 New York Times article. She used to work for Stephen Greer back in the early 2000s. And I talked to her at the, I snuck my way in back in November by the UFO hearings into the disclosure fund event. And I talked to her a long time. She's. She's brilliant. She. Yeah, she knows quite a bit. But, you know, she even used to work with Greer. And I, I think back in the day, Greer had a little bit of a different mindset. I, I think maybe some of the problems with him arose more in the future. But that, that, that drama between the two is, Is pretty interesting.
Danny
Yeah, man. The. When you start to paying too much attention to like the, the personalities and like the, the UFO celebrities and the drama, you start to get like, lost in this whole thing. And I think it's pro. The combination, the combination of like Twitter, people on Twitter, you know, arguing about who's right and who's wrong. And then you mix in the fact that everyone's trying to sell a book or a documentary or a movie and they're building their careers on this stuff. You know, I'm not innocent of it. I do podcasts. I make money on podcasts about UFOs. So I, I try not to make it my whole personality and my whole identity as much as I possibly can. But, you know, there's just so much.
Sam
Oh, I know. And especially official nonsense like Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, the head of Arrow, who is fraught with a lot of really weird past. So you're familiar with Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick of Arrow, right? Well, Sean Kirkpatrick has a very checkered past before Arrow and pretty interesting future after Arrow. So Sean Kirkpatrick gets a hold of arrow in like 2022. Arrow reports to the Undersecretary for Defense for Intelligence and Security. This at the is Ronald Moultrie, who was both on the board for Patel Memorial Institute.
Danny
Oh yeah, I want to talk about them.
Sam
Oh absolutely. The Miter Corporation and like a group called the Better Angels, which is funded by the Carlile Group, which is a huge, big money group. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So Kirkpatrick and Moultrie famously in. In 2022, kind of debunk the subject of UFOs and so forth. Kirkpatrick used to be a senior research scientist for SAIC Science Applications International Corporation. Even published with them quite a few times. In 20 arrow engaged in contracts under the DOD for arrow support services with a company called SanCorp. SanCorp one directive is to stop whistleblower leaks.
Danny
Oh wow.
Sam
And I recently tweeted about this. I have the exact contract number. But Arrow is tweeting, is getting in. Getting in contracts with companies that specialize in whistleblower leaks. But I want to focus on what Sean Kirkpatrick did after Arrow. He leaves Arrow in a tirado. Nobody likes me. All that. That really whiny. And then he goes on to work at Oak Ridge, which is a Department of Energy ffrdc, Federally funded Research and Development Center.
Danny
That's where he works now.
Sam
No, not now. Okay, but we can talk more about FFRDCs because when people talk about UFO legacy programs like joint United States government contractor like Air Force and Northrop Grumman UFO programs, the missing link there is the FFRDCs. This is stuff like the Miter Corporation, the Aerospace Corporation, Triad National Security run by Battelle, Oak Ridge, Sandia National Labs, Lawrence Livermore. But yeah, so Kirk Patrick goes to work at Oak Ridge. He also joins Georgia Tech's Let me see what it's called because I wrote this down. I can't remember, but he went on as a join as Georgia Tech Research Institute, uarc, a university affiliated research center. As basically a senior consultant. A senior research consultant. Uarc, a university affiliated research center is the. It is the university counterpart to the FFRDCs, the Federally Funded Research and Development Centers. What these two institutions are, are corporate and university systems that are semi private but mostly kind of DOD and government owned. That's why, you know, one of my big theories is that a lot of these programs operate with these subject matter experts and R D wizards being these FFRDCs because they're not fully, it's not like a contractor fully removed from United States government or United States dod. The FFRDC is a corporation still attached inherently to US Government.
Danny
Government. Oh, interesting.
Sam
We can talk a little bit more about that because there's a lot of interesting ties such as like this gets can hearken all the way back to Kecksburg and Dr. Eric A. Walker and a lot of that good stuff. But additionally, since 2025, Sean Kirkpatrick, he had formed his own LLC called Non Linear Solutions. And as of 2025, Nonlinear Solutions is contracting for the Miter Corporation for US Spacecom, US Space Command. And what's interesting there is in some FOIA documents by a Twitter user named Tagoem. In 20, Patrick met with senior officials at US Spacecom to brief them on UFO response and recovery and material transfer. So you know what, what are the very strange connections there? Arrow stinks to high heaven. They also are Arrows, also a line organization. You know they published the arrow Historical Report, Volume 1 Nonsensical Report. I hope somebody who's read the cleared report, the classified report can tell us why. There's no better explanations than that than the public report because the cleared report I've heard is just as nonsensical. But there's testimonies that are lied about it in there. A very specific example is Michael Herrera. We got Michael Herrera's memorandum for record with Arrow because in the arrow Historical Report, Volume 1, it talks about Michael's testimony. It says like a U.S. marine encountered an extraterrestrial vehicle in U.S. special Forces. First of all, Michael never said extraterrestrial vehicle. He always thought this was a man made vehicle and never said US Special Forces. He just said unidentified Special Forces. And the memorandum for record that proves that he never said extraterrestrial or US Special Forces. So if Arrow's lying about details that small to make a whistleblower seem a little bit less credible, what else are they lying about in that? And why are they working with whistleblower protection? And why is Sean Kirkpatrick going on to work at under MITRE and so forth. It's these are all questions that must be asked. Is Arrow honeypot? Why is Tim Phillips, the deputy director of Arrow, badmouthing David Grush on LinkedIn? These are all strange. I talk about the FFRDCs and UARCs. Remember when we had the November House hearings, the Senate also had some UFO hearings with with Arrow at the end of 2024. Dr. John Kozlowski, now Arrow director said Arrow is now working with FFRDCs and UARCs. What are they doing on with them? It's. These are all interesting questions.
Danny
Yeah, it's interesting to see who doesn't like who and who's saying what about, you know, these other whistleblowers? You know, I mean, it, it definitely looks good for David Grush that this guy is, you know, saying bad things about him. You know, he's not involved with any. Like, obviously that guy is not, you know, if he's making up and, and they're manipulating Michael Herrera's testimonies to make him seem more discreditable, there's definitely something there. You know, the more, the more of this stuff I hear, it's just like, it seems like, it seems like all this stuff just is all this stuff from, from sci fi movies are becoming reality. Yeah. You know, like the, like the Jake Barber stuff sounds exactly like Stranger Things. Yeah.
Sam
Yeah. Well, speaking of, of Star wars, have you heard of the Mark McCandless story?
Danny
No.
Sam
And Brad Sorenson. Okay. This is in my opinion, one of the greatest alien reproduction vehicle stories of all time. And we can also. So I'm sure you've heard the term alien reproduction vehicle.
Danny
Yes.
Sam
And I'm sure you've heard it associated with Greer.
Danny
Yes.
Sam
But we can dispel that rumor as well in this story. So this is about November 12, 1988. This takes place at the Norton Air Force Base show at Norton Air Force Base in California. This is near Edwards Air Force Base. This is near Palm Springs. This is near the Lockheed Skunk Works. This is near USAF Plant 42. A lot of the clandestine aircraft R and D of our nation takes place place also a region in which I think is a huge network of underground subterranean facilities. But you know, we'll talk about that later. But so Aerospace illustrator Mark McCandlish, who had done a lot of work for Popular Mechanics, various defense contractors, was scheduled to go to the Air Force show with his good friend Brad Sorensen, who was an industrial designer at the time. Brad Sorensen had been invited to the show from a high profile client. It doesn't really name this person, but connected with DOD somehow. Possibly former Undersecretary for Defense. Real high up guy. A couple days before the air show, Mark McCandlish has to drop out. He needs to do some work for Popular Mechanics. And so Brad goes with, you know, the undersec, if that's what it is. A week later, Mark finally hears from Brad. Brad sounds really like beaten up and shaken. Brad sounds really, really, really upset. And, and Mark finally prized what Brad saw at the air show. And we'll pause there because historically this story has been relayed secondhand for Mark McCandlish. Right. Mark McCandlish talks about what Brad sees at the Air Show. It wasn't until this year I found a 1990 interview taken to took place two years after this experience with Brad Sorenson and Aviation Week and Space technology writer Bill Scott. So this is no longer a secondhand testimony relayed by Mark McCandlish. Right. This is something that. From Brad Sorenson's own words, because I'm directly referencing that interview because that's, that's some of the things people have said about this story. In particular the Flux liner. Is that. No, Mark McCandless just said it. No. Well, Brad Sorenson talked about it in this interview and some of the details around that are really interesting. So Brad Sorenson went to the Norton Air Show. Tons of interesting aircraft. Pretty cool. But at, at some point during the show the undersec deaf or whoever he was with took him to a classified. Exactly.
Danny
Exhibit.
Sam
This is either a short flight down to USAF Plant 42 or it's in a completely different hangar. And the only reason he gets in is because he's attached to this very high level former DOD guy. The two enter the hangar and remember this is all according to Brad Sorenson. And in there there's a lot of really interesting vehicles. There's like a VTOL vertical takeoff and landing little marines vehicle. There's the Luzine prototype to the B2 or. Yeah, B2 stealth bomber. There's something called the Lockheed Pulsar, which is a craft that looks like a pumpkin. See speed craft that is I think powered by, if I'm remembering correctly, scramjet technology. Super fast, remotely controlled. It contains 121 nuclear warheads.
Danny
Wow.
Sam
Yeah, that. Some of the military brass were, were kind of boasting that they could destroy every major city in Russia in under an hour and so forth. Yeah, that. That's it. Yeah, that's the Pulsar. And that's drawn by Mark McCandlish. That's drawn by.
Danny
That's wild, bro. Have you seen the, the cormorant? The Lockheed Cormorant?
Sam
Uhuh. What is that?
Danny
I think Jeremy Ris told me about this.
Sam
Oh, alien scientist.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
Smart cookie.
Danny
Yeah man, he knows his stuff. He type in Lockheed Corant. That one's crazy looking. Whoa. That thing. Whoa. I think the. I mean these are all obvious or that one's actually a real photo.
Sam
Is this a undersea uav?
Danny
Yeah, bro, look at that. Look at that thing.
Sam
Looks like a bird. Of course, the Lockheed Martin stamp on it. Iconic.
Danny
Yeah, right, right. That thing's crazy. There's just so Much bizarre stuff I know these people are making. But apparently this thing can go in the water and in the air.
Sam
There's a north rip. Oh, it's trans medium.
Danny
Yeah, bro. It flies and it goes under the water. Allegedly. Who knows?
Sam
That is a creepy looking vehicle. It looks like a, looks like a, almost like a bird, but also a little sci fi. High techy.
Danny
Yeah. Like the, like the more I see this stuff, bro, it just seems like they're, they're. There's a, a human explanation for so many of this ufo. So much of this.
Sam
I think so. Yeah.
Danny
I had this guy, David Morehouse on a couple times and he, he worked in the Stargate program. Oh, cool. Yeah, and he, he was, he came in here with like a whole presentation of classified military aircraft and reconnaissance balloons and all kinds of things that explain. He basically explained away most of like, like the most famous UFO sightings ever, really, including the Phoenix Lights. He showed us like images of these giant balloons that have lights built in them and they're, they're like reconnaissance balloons or something like this. And it was the exact shape of the Phoenix Lights. The same, exact size, just giant black like tube balloons.
Sam
Whoa. Yeah, I, you know, I agree with you that a lot of what's seen is pretty mundane prosaic explanation or, or classified military tech that. A lot of it regarding. On the. How anomalous it is. How anomalous the sighting is is probably some, some reverse engineered stuff because. So Brad Sorensen sees the Lockheed pulsar, which seems like the same crazy technology as that Lockheed cormorant. And then he's brought to the, the final section of the exhibit where there are three flying saucers stationed hovering off the ground. Ground, right. These look like a jello mold with half a dome on top. Steve, would you look up Flux liner, two words. These things are called Little Bear, Mama Bear and Papa Bear because they're the same craft scaled, one's about 60ft in length to the largest, about 120ft in length.
Danny
This.
Sam
Yeah, yeah, You've probably seen that image before, right?
Danny
I've seen this. I've seen the drawing before. Yeah, I haven't seen that.
Sam
That is the Flux liner. So, okay, there's a, like a three star general and contracting personnel there that are showing a videotape of. I think it's the smallest flux liner kind of bouncing jaggedly over like a desert surface before taking off at rapid speeds just straight up. So this thing to Brad Sorensen and Brad Sorensen hated this design because he talks non stop in his interview that it looks like it was made by scientists, not by engineers. It looked slobbled together. You know, there was chipped paint on it. Those little bubbles on the outside were synthetic vision systems. They're camera arrays that to kind of create a 3D picture of where the craft going. Those seats are F4 Phantom jump seats. So this craft was like jerry rigged that little ball handle right there. It's really interesting in Tom DeLong's book Names Escape Me right now, Secret Machines he talks about that same control system right there is used to control like the TR3B, like reverse engineered triangle. But so these, these craft are powered, I don't really understand the physics but by like some, some anti gravity capacitor array and so forth. And the skinny that Brad Sorensen is given is that these craft were created from technology copied, found at Roswell. And that I think the brass were saying that we were never supposed to have these craft. We took it from the beans. We've tried to recreate how it works. This is the best we can get it. It's basically a poor man's representation. This craft has cameras slapped on the outside and acrylic bubbles you'd find at a Wal, Walmart. It has jump seats from a jet. It has a Navy submarine door on the outside. But we have tried to reverse engineer the propulsion systems of these craft as as well as possible. And these, according to Brad Sorensen, according to what he saw, these, these were copy vehicles taken from non human intelligence at Roswell.
Danny
What year was this again?
Sam
1988.
Danny
1988.
Sam
But what's interesting here is that this craft right here, Steve, can you look up a 1967 Hart Harvey Harvey Williams. In 1967, Yousaf Captain, Air Force Captain Harvey Williams, about 12,000 to 20,000ft over Provo, Utah, captured an image of a flying saucer that looks exactly like one of these, but it looks like an evolution of the Fluxliner because it has larger acrylic bubbles. And as time passes you think camera technology size would decrease and you can kind of rethink the acrylic bubbles. But this is the, this is the story of the Flux liner. And Mark McCandlish would draw what Brad told him because Brad didn't want anything to do with this story. So Mark McCandlish would draw this, he would take this around, he would present it at Greer's Disclosure Project. He would talk. Yes, that's the first Image Right there. 1966, Provo, Utah. Okay, right there, that's taken by Yousaf Captain. If it's not Harvey Williams. I'm butchering this badly. There's a much higher definition.
Danny
Yeah, that looks like it. Image, some shape.
Sam
Yeah. So Mark McCandlish would, would, you know, create a, a line art drawing of this and he, he would take it all around, talk to people and apparently he met other people like USAF veteran Kent Sellen, who saw the same craft at Edwards Air Force Base And I think 1972, I want to say, I'm trying to remember correctly, but Mark McCandless would eventually, in 2014, create a documentary with a filmmaker named James Allen about, you know, zero point energy systems, the Fluxliner, alien reproduction vehicles. About less than three months before the interview is to be, or before the documentary is to be released, James Allen gets struck with a very rare and aggressive form of cancer and dies within three months. And Mark McCandlish ordered an autopsy report on him. So did the editor of the documentary that I've talked to. And James Allen was found to have heavy metal poisoning in his autopsy report. So it's weird because in this documentary, the two James Allen and Mark McCandlish talk all about, you know, various energy systems, various zero point energy systems where the inventors have mysteriously died, gone missing, like throw themselves out of a window. And so James Allen, right before that documentary is released, goes, you know, he dies as well. In 2020, Mark McCandlish was found with a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
Danny
Why?
Sam
And he said, and maybe it was 2022, but he said that an interview shortly before in 2020, that he slept with a pillow under his, his pillow because he was also at first afraid of what was going to happen to him.
Danny
Pillow under his pillow?
Sam
I'm sorry, A pistol under his pillow. Yeah, I'm sorry. And you know, there's some rumors, according to some close sources of Mark McCandlish, that he was going to testify to Senator Rubio shortly before his death. So but this also gets really interesting because this was relayed by Mark McCandlish for the better part of 30 years. Right. I found the original interview with Brad Sorensen and Bill Scott from Aviation Week in Space Technology. Once I find that and put up a video of the Fluxliner, I get a call from a UFO research researcher, very well known guy, very respected, great on crash retrieval, but he's also really close with Greer, like really good buddies with Greer. And he calls me and said, where did you find that interview? Like that's not supposed to be public. You should take that down. Why isn't that supposed to be public? Because this story was Always secondhand with Mark McCandlish and not Brad Sorenson. And what's weirder is I, one of.
Danny
Greer's close friends is a researcher. And why did he tell you it should be taken down?
Sam
He said it's internal. Internal.
Danny
Internal for who?
Sam
Exactly.
Danny
Why?
Sam
Because I messaged Brad Sorensen. I emailed.
Danny
Right.
Sam
And the amount of death threats that man gave me is unlimited.
Danny
What man?
Sam
Brad Sorensen.
Danny
Oh, really? Yeah.
Sam
Say goodbye to you and your family. You'll never see it coming. Mark was a stupid dramatic fool. You're going to end up the same way he did. And then I kept pushing I. Because so there was some little inkling that I thought maybe br there's more than meets the eye to Brad here. And so Brad kind of, of gave me a little bit of the implication he may have actually like worked on such a craft, saying stuff like I create, I helped create what I saw and stuff like that. It's an incredibly intriguing case, the Flux Liner. Incredibly intriguing. And that's just one instance of a alien reproduction vehicle. There's another really interesting thing. Like everybody thinks about the TR3B triangle, right? Like the, the famous triangle from Edgar Fouche. It's got the three, four lights on the bottom, the big red light and then three lights on the, the kind of the exterior of the triangle.
Danny
I think I know what you're talking about. Well, so see if you can find a picture of it, Steve, just to make sure.
Sam
There's a, a forensic artist named Bill McDonald he worked with. Yeah, just like the classic triangle, the sal pains y there, Bill McDonald worked with Ryan and Dr. Robert Wood of McDonald Douglas, who are some, some great investigators into the Majestic 12 documents. And so we created all sorts of art and all sorts of UFO art, worked with various films to create craft and so forth, forth. In 1992, in Antelope Valley, California, kind of the aerospace hub of the United States, he met with two Lockheed and two Northrop engineers. And these guys worked at the Lockheed Martin Helendale radar cross section facility and the Northrop Tejon radar cross section facilities. Now these two places are very infamous in UFO lore. And these engineers came together, two from Lockheed, two from Northrop, to illustrate the reverse engineered craft they had been working on that they are so tired of the secrecy around. So Bill McDonald, of course, drew that craft. It's really interesting. Steve, can you look up a Tachapi triangle? T h a te ha c h a P I triangle and that. You know, I've pressed Bill McDonald for the, the sources on this subject. As well for this triangular craft and he won't give them up. That's it. Yeah, first, first one right there. But what's interesting here is are you a fan of the X File Files?
Danny
Yes.
Sam
Okay, so season one, episode one of the X Files, not the pilot, but it's the episode called Deep Throat. It's about Mulder. He goes to a Air Force base and to investigate a test pilot that's gone missing and encounters this craft. Chris Carter and John d', Souza, the FBI agent on which the first season of the X Files was based, went up to Bill McDonald and contracted him to use, to use that design for the the X Files episode, which I found really interesting. Really interesting. So I'd like to press more into that because that's another possible example of a alien reproduction vehicle. You know, there's the triangles, there's the saucers, possibly what Michael Herrera saw. Just a ton, ton of possible.
Danny
There's so much overlap in movie and televisions in real life, bro, it's crazy.
Sam
It's like in a, in Close Encounters of the Third Time Third Kind, there's large crates and boxes of materials from TRW and Lockheed Martin that Steven Spielberg put in, in there. How interesting is that?
Danny
Didn't he also use the same hand scanner that Bob Lazar talked about?
Sam
Yeah, it's, it's really, really intriguing and I think. Oh gosh, who was it? Who was it? Recently Steven Spielberg even said that he showed like ET to some high mil up military officials who kind of commented how ET and like the subject of extraterrestrials was really closely related to his film and so forth. Really intriguing. Steven Spielberg seems to be pretty tapped in. He's working on another kind of UFO film lately.
Danny
Yeah, I heard about that. I, I don't, I don't know exactly what, what it was about, though. It's been a while since I heard about it. Yeah, bro. So the Jake Barber stuff, like the psionic stuff, what do you make of all that?
Sam
It's, it's so, it's so interesting. But I was kind of of the mind that before you introduce subjects like psionics, which requires a lot of, of understanding and faith into like remote viewing psi research, which, you know, the Stargate program and SAIC did a heck of a lot into. But I think before that was introduced, there needs to be a more firm understanding of crash retrieval and reverse engineering.
Danny
Okay.
Sam
Because the Jake Barber psionics at the range, the whole MO was to use psionics to bring in these craft and either force them to land or use some directed energy weapons to blast.
Danny
Right.
Sam
The sky.
Danny
Right. Totally ridiculous.
Sam
Yes. Before you ask an uninitiated viewer to believe that, you got to first say, hey, there are UFOs here. They're not piloted by humans. Sometimes they crash, sometimes they're shot down and we retrieve them. But the, the subject of science. I would still be pretty keen to see a demonstration of psionics. I've never seen it, so it's still, it's still a little bit tough for me to wrap my head around. What do you think?
Danny
No, I don't know. I had never heard about it before. The Jake Barber stuff. Stuff. But it does like the, the fact like what Michael Herrera and Jake Barber were talking about with allegedly going to this earthquake disaster zone. Yeah. And trying to capture like kids with like left handed kids. And first of all, they're from like this remote part of the world. They're not really connected from tech to technology and they're, they're young. So like there's definitely something to be said. Like we were talking about the phone yesterday. I think I was telling you like, like children seem to be more tapped into this in like a invisible sense. Yeah. That, that we lose as we grow up. You know, similar, like cats and dogs can like, can sense different energies, you know, in the room. It's, it's similar to like Joe Rogan's fart hypothesis. Have you heard that?
Sam
No.
Danny
Basically like if somebody, if somebody farts and you didn't have the sense of smell or a nose, you just be sitting in their fart and you would have absolutely no idea. So how many other things exist all around us that we don't have the senses to detect.
Sam
Right.
Danny
You know.
Sam
Right. And you know, the subject of psionics is nothing new. You can look back to the claims of, of Lt. Col. Philip J. Corso, who of course he's infamous for the book the Day After Roswell which has a bunch of added nonsense from co writer Bill Burns. If you want to actually understand Corso's story, you should read his manuscript the Day After Roswell. But he even talks about some of the technologies leveraged and utilized from the Roswell crash. Specifically was systems to try and control ICBM missiles with brainwaves waves. So all the way back with Corso in 1960-1962, he, you know, if, if what he's talking about under the foreign technology division is legit, there were already plans to try and adapt, you know, mind control, mind machine interfaces. Really interesting. It's, it's perplexing that he says that because of course psionics.
Danny
Did he expand on that at all?
Sam
No, it's a short section and I'll send it to you. I, I think I told you and I, I forgot to do it. He, he just talked about trying to use brain waves. Brain waves, brain waves to control ICBMs. And if you look at the old, old files of Leonard Stringfield, he talks multiple times about headband transceivers being found in crashed UFOs that control the craft. So it's, it's, it's nothing new. I, I just think that a lot of the time with like you really got to slow down and demonstrate the capabilities of this, of this first. Because I know with sky watchers there's still gray area about what they're summoning. Right. Like each YouTube video video creates a lot of discourse of, of, you know, the, the pin pricks of light. Are they birds, are they balloons or are they extraterrestrial or non human craft? I think a very firm demonstration needs to be made and then you can kind of bring in some of the baggage with that because psionics is a really interesting and topic with a lot of baggage because I know, I think it was Greer that talked about like left handed and gay people.
Danny
Yeah, left handed and gay people. Right. Young.
Sam
Yeah, young. Young as well. Kids from the gate programs, the gifted and talented education programs. And I, I would like to.
Danny
And allegedly they were kept at the spot and like they were held there and fed a specific diet.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
And like given certain medications. Something like this.
Sam
Yeah. One of the sky watchers top psionic guys is a guy named, I can't remember his name, it's escaped me right now, but he told me he was in the, the gate program as a child and now he's a sky watcher, psionic. What's interesting about his case is he said while he was in the gate program one time as a young kid, a bunch of eggheads and lab coats brought in a briefcase and opened it up and it was a, like a metallic swirling sphere in there, almost like a Palantir. And told to just kind of look into it and react to it. The description of that sphere is almost identical to a witness that Jesse and I both covered, Randy Anderson, who is a former US Army Green Beret, who 2013-2015 was at the Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane in Indiana, a really austere weapons facility. And he was taken underground by a contractor because he was one of two guys in the Green Beret Unit with, you know, high clearance levels for a weapon.
Danny
Oh, yeah, I remember this interview.
Sam
Yeah. And he was shown something called the Off World Technologies Division and a piece of technology that was by all intents and purposes a identical sphere to what this sky watcher asset described that reacted to human consciousness.
Danny
There's, there's so much crazy stuff, dude, it's almost impossible to track it all. And like, again, when it goes, when, when you have people like that Jake guy coming out and like, talking about this psionic stuff and like, it always is fishy to me when people talk in these absolutisms and terms as if like they know exactly what's happening, you know? Yeah. And, and I don't know, it's, it's almost like, it's just so difficult to navigate this stuff that it's like, you know, I like to check out every once in a while and just be like, zoom out on all this stuff. Take a breath, Take a breath, breather. And then, you know, see where it goes. See where it goes. Because it's, it's, it's overbearing, man. It's so much to, to handle.
Sam
And I blame you because there's, there's so much discourse, there's so much infighting, there's so much interfactionality. Like, there's probably disclosure advocates with varying interests and how disclosure plays out. You know, maybe there's a difference in what like Lou Elizondo wants versus what Eric Davis wants at the end of the day for disclosure and how these things are brought about. About. What does the Navy do? What does the Air Force do? What does the army do in terms of UFO cross retrieval, reverse engineering? How siloed are the programs? Is the Navy working on an ARV and the army working on an arv, both the same program, but have no cross communication? What role does the, do the intelligence agencies play? How does the neuro hop in? How does the NSA hop in? You know, how do these programs work? How are they funded? That's a big, that's a really interesting question as well, that I think there's a lot of funding mechanisms for such programs. Programs like back in the 80s, the Navy was being overcharged by the Grumman Corporation and some other corporations. They were being charged like 600, 400 to $600 for ashtrays and like F14s. And so there's just ashtrays and F14s. Yeah, ashtrays and F14s. And that brings me back to that guy I told you about, Ed at, Ed at Edwards Air Force Base. After he was done at Edwards, he went on to work at the Pentagon for the Air Force Research Development Test and Evaluation Panel chain. He said in two separate years 34 billion and then $40 billion went missing from the Air Force and non training transfer of authority funds just completely wiped off the books. You know I've also been privy to conversations with individuals who have seen cash transactions, huge pallets of cash transacted for UFO legacy programs. And then of course you have Katherine Austin Fitz who talks about really creative funding from the DoD and Housing and Urban Development. And you got a great story from SAIC Science Applications International Corporation. And I'd, I'd love to tell you a really, really intriguing story about SAIC's of contract work, if you don't mind.
Danny
Oh yeah.
Sam
So SAIC first of all has been in some hot water for overcharging like the NSA 7 like 5 to 7 billion dollars for the Trailblazer program which was supposed to be like a large scale spying software. Right after 911 that was complete, that completely didn't work. But the NSA kind of was fraud, was fraudulently charged by SAIC for all of this money. SAIC has enormous contracts, many of which don't make any sense. Like a recent $280 million contract with Sandia National Labs which is a Department of Energy FFRDC for IT consolidation work. How does it work? You know, take $280 million. Of course with SAIC we've talked about Kirkpatrick. SAIC has insane ties to the Wilson Davis memo. SAIC has ties to Director of Neuro Bobby Ray in. But in 1992, there, there. So there's a whistleblower from SAIC, her name's Denise McKenzie and she actually disclosed in I think 2000. And so her story goes, in 1992 she was working at a fabric store at a mall in La Jolla, San Diego. A new part time girl named Sophia starts working with her. Sophia says hey, come work for this contractor. You know it better work.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
And so she shows up expecting an interview at a large contractor she's hired on the spot at a massive campus that is SAIC Science International Corporation, La Jolla. She's not even really told what to do besides administrative work on a computer. And that girl who recruited her, Sophia didn't show up for like another three or four weeks. So she's just sitting there having no idea what to do on the job. And eventually a bunch of letters come in while she's working at SAIC that are basically asking for contract updates on DoD and other contractor contracts. These are massive contracts, some in hundreds of million dollars, some millions of dollars, some tens of millions of dollars. And she's working in the building where SAIC does all sorts of classified chemical and bio research. Really interesting biochem facility there that probably connects with Patel Memorial Institute and Dugway Proving Ground. And so she goes to her superiors because she wants to kind of impress them and says, hey, what, you know, what do I. What do I do with these contracts? The superior says, I think the superior right here is named Stanley Stewart that I've actually tried to track down. Said, oh, just say we're working on it. So she, being a new employee, doesn't really want to just say we're working on it on massive DoD contracts. So she goes in the file for room to find these contract numbers, to find the contracts, to find the programs. And in each file, for every single program, all that's in there is just a paper that says, we're working on it, the same file updates. So the SAIC is undergoing enormous contracts for DoD and other contractors with no movement on them. Nothing's being done, no progress reports, no technical reports, nothing like that. So they're just empty contracts that money can be funneled, like Katherine Austin Fitts says, specifically mentioning saic, into the black budget. So she goes and tells Sophia, the woman that recruited her eventually. And Sophia freaks out. She gets reprimanded by her superiors, all the files are taken away. She's harassed by one of the bosses, and she eventually quits when she almost chokes on some food and nobody helps her. But. So later on down the line, she's interested to search for Sophia because she never saw Sophia again again. In the early days of the Internet, she finds Sophia's picture, same first name, different last name, on a CIA operatives database. But the weird thing is that this Sophia girl that recruited her to work at SAIC, remember this took place in 1992, apparently died in 1998. All sorts of weird things going on there with SAIC. And 1992 is also when SAIC took off, took over the Stargate program from SRI and the CIA.
Danny
SAIC took over?
Sam
Yeah, yeah, yeah, SAIC. Huge, huge into like, telepathy, telekinesis. They have lots of reports on it using human subjects for such things. And I guess the research was carried on and taken seriously because as recently as 2013, the Office of Naval Research published a study, like a revolutionary study on human sixth sense using precognition in humans almost to. To kind of get A jump on things. So really, really weird discussion of contracts and like human remote viewing at saic.
Danny
Yeah, they're involved in so much weird shit, man. I told you the first time I heard about it when I was reading the article all about the creation of Google, how basically, basically Google was incubated by like darpa, NSA and the CIA and all this stuff. Basically going and visiting Sergey Brin at Stanford and you know, walk doing like status updates every month on what they were doing and how they were doing. I think they got the Page Rank system directly from darpa. Yeah. Which is strange. But you know, you know, if you just understand that history of, of how it was, how Google was created and who they were working with and look at where we're at now, now with all the stuff that's going on. You know how they're basically trying to like influence the narrative of the public and censor certain speech and, and boost other speech and using, you know, now, you know, Google basically creates everything from phones to security systems to every application and appliance. Soon they're going to be making your washer and dryer, you know that, and it's gonna talk to you. So it's just like, like, okay, this company that was created by like the deep state essentially is now creating all these appliances and software that are integrated into virtually every aspect of your life. And you know, you rely, and, and most people, a lot of people rely on this company to make a living because they basically own the Internet. Yeah, you know, that's just, I don't know where that goes, man. But, but I can't imagine it's anywhere good.
Sam
It's a, it's a terrifying reality. Especially when companies like Google, when companies like SAIC that basically helped create the Internet can work hand in hand. Yeah. Can influence such extreme thought narratives. I mean SAIC themselves, they were, they chaired the, the panel that testified to the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence that said Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction and thus the United States needed to invade Iraq. And when no weapons of mass destruction were found, they chaired the same panel that said we investigated ourselves and we did nothing wrong, absolving the governments, the intelligence agencies and SAIC of any involvement. So they can really influence public perception in a massive way. Even like DOD high level perception and kind of government perception.
Danny
Yeah, man, it's crazy. But like going back to what we were, we were discuss, we were discussing like, you know, some of these private contractors. We talked a lot about like the doe which is interesting because you know, Annie Jacobson Lays it out really well. In her first book, Area 51, and her most recent book about nuclear war, she talks a lot about the Department of Energy, which from what I understand is you might know more about this than I do, but the doe, the Department of Energy essentially is like the fourth, fifth or sixth name change from the Manhattan Project. Yeah, it was the Manhattan Project and they changed the name to something else. Atomic Energy Commission, something else. And now the Manhattan Project is basically, it's the same thing as the doe. It's the same organization. Organization, yeah, which is crazy to think about. And that, that's the same company that put out, puts out regulations of like what types of light bulbs we're allowed to use or sell.
Sam
The, I mean the DOE is truly an enormous and amorphous blob. They even have their own like, like they even have their own armed teams called srt Special Response Team that transfer like nuclear radiological materials across the continental United States. The DOE has their hand in almost every possible high. I mean the DOE is born from the granddaddy, the Atomic Energy Commission that has just tremendous ties to possible UFO programs. Just like we talked about the 1954 Atomic Energy act that is literally name dropped in the UAPDA and literally said hey, UFO materials, information, etc are hidden within restricted data within transclassified foreign nuclear information under the Atomic Energy Commission. So the, the DOE just has their hand in so many pies and the DOE also sponsors so federally funded research and development centers like Lawrence Livermore National Labs, Sandia National Labs, Oak Ridge, etc, where you know, I, I have some degree of, of confidence that there are reverse engineering and retrieval operations, you know, being conducted at, at such locations and.
Danny
And even the doe, what they were doing in I think it was the like the 60s or 70s when they were like detonating subterranean nukes and like working with these oil companies trying to, to like basically frack oil using nuclear weapons. It's just insane. Like, like you said, all the, all the, all the pies they have their.
Sam
Hands in, bro, when whenever you investigate a crash retrieval story or like a, a craft being housed, any testimony you can always do a couple extra steps of research and find out some connection to the doe. It's a, it's a very, very scary organization. And you know, even in some high profile whistleblower testimony like Edgar Fouch who Talked about the TR3B reverse engineering engineered alien reproduction vehicle, he directly said stuff like the Lawrence Livermore National Labs and Sandy National Labs, two DOE FFRDCs reverse engineered the propulsion devices for the TR3B.
Danny
And what about Battelle? Where does Battelle fit into all this stuff?
Sam
Battelle is pretty interesting. So Battelle Memorial Institute, I think you and Jesse talked about it. Not only do they have ties to Ronald Moultrie, who was undersecretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security who air reported to. But so I, I think you guys talked about this too. Nitinol, Nite N, all that, you know, shape memory alloys. Patel was kind of doing some, some secret projects on that wasn't really declassified into the early 60s when nitinol was like accidentally discovered. Battelle Memorial Institute also ran something called Project Stork, which was actually a hidden UFO program parallel to Blue Book, you know, project Blue Book 1952-1969. Why does Battelle have their own, own really secretive UFO program back in the same time as Blue Book? There's also a. I know of an individual that I did a video on this. This took place at Dugway Proving Ground at the West Desert Test center, which is Dugway Proving Grounds major range test facility base where in the Avery area of Dugway, which is, you know, an Air Force pretty, pretty extensive contractor location. He went into a building while doing contracting work there and saw a craft and this craft was hovering off the ground and it was being worked on by, by various individuals. Well, the West Desert Test center, which specializes in chemical and biological work. If you look at the history of people who have run the West Desert Test center, it's always former Battelle guys, always. Battelle also runs multiple FFRDCs like the out near Fort Detrick, Maryland and that kind of region which has really high profile biological and chemical work that there's some rumors that that's where some of the bodies of extraterrestrials or non human intelligence are stored. Battelle also really smartly. Patel kind of set the playbook by forming something called Triad National Security. It was Battelle, a university and another organization that formed like their own company to manage some DOE labs for ffrdc. So I'm trying to think which exactly here, but once Battelle did that, then companies like SAIC started doing that with EG and G. SAIC started doing that with Northrop. SAIC started doing that with Momentum, which recently whistleblower Matthew Brown has said operates hangars that hold reverse engineered technology at Pax river in Virginia. So Battelle has always, at least to me seemed like a, almost, almost like a chemical and biological subject matter expert. There's there's one of those nickel, titanium alloy studies from Battelle that was, you know, I can't remember the date declassified, but it was by a man named.
Danny
I was just the night and all stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Sam
I. Is it Edward? It's not Howard Cross. It's Edward something. But it's a name, It's a name that worked on one of the, the, you know, investigating these alloys. And this same individual, I don't know why his name is slipping for me. I just talked about it with Jesse. But on late in his life in 1992 to MUFON, to MUFON researcher Irene Scott, this guy disclosed to her that he worked on metals that were leveraged from non human intelligence craft that had crashed. So you have your own Battelle guy who worked on those reports saying that stuff came from flying saucers? Essentially.
Danny
Yeah. I remember Jeremy Ris. He, he went to one of the big hearings, I think it was last year. And he like, you know, he, he's crazy. He was there in like live streams, like talking to people, pulling people aside and he was interviewing. I forget who it was. It was one, it was some big wig. It was a woman and she was like, I think she was a, a congresswoman. And he was asking her about Patel and she goes, excuse me, me, what? He goes, patel Memorial Institute. She's like, how do you. What's. I've never heard of that. And he was like, he was like, okay, it's spelled this. Go to this website. I really need to look into that. Thank you for, for. I'm going to look into them. Thank you. It's just like, you know, I don't know. It seems like nobody knows what's going on with all this stuff.
Sam
Yeah. And how, how projects and expertise may be delegated to different contractors. I mean, I, I think Patel has their hands all over this stuff as, as we've seen with the nitinol nickel titanium alloy studies and project stories. York it. Battelle is just, it's just strange, I think. So if I, if I had to wager, like, if I had to say the biggest corporations that have their hand in this stuff, it would be Patel, it would be saic, it'd be Northrop Grumman, it would be Leidos, which SAIC kind of spun off from in 2013 because SAIC got too big and had too many contracts, it would be Raytheon, Boeing, Booz Allen Hamilton, maybe L3. L3Harris. Yeah, L3Harris and. Yeah, probably some of the biggest. And then FFRDC is, I'd say the Mitre Corporation. I have quite a bit of knowledge on the Mitre Corporation, the RAND Corporation, the Aerospace Corporation. Here's what's pretty interesting. The Aerospace Corporation.
Danny
So many, so many.
Sam
All the DOE labs to tria, National Security, Oak Ridge, the Center for Naval Analyses, Institute for Defense Analyses. And then you got the uark, Georgia Tech, Pennsylvania State University, which is really, really interesting, which we'll talk about in a second. But the. So the RAND Corporation was built out of USAF project rand, which was kind of involved with underground constructions. But the Aerospace Corporation, as well as the Mitre Corporation, as well as BDM, which is a contractor, not an FFRDC, were all started between 1959 and 1960, the exact date that, you know, Philip J. Corso says that, you know, alien technology was starting to be seeded into the military and public when that began. So it's just a really interesting lineup of dates, including Eric Davis said to me, he didn't name drop it specifically, but the Aerospace Corporation is the one F FFRDC he knew of that engages with this stuff. And on the, on the UArk level, the university affiliated Research center, you have stuff like the Applied Physics Laboratory or Applied Research Laboratory names escaping me from Penn State University. This was started by Dr. Eric A. Walker. Dr. Eric A. Walker is one of the most underrepresented figures in all of UFO, in my opinion. And back in 1950, I consultant to the Defense Research Science Board or the R and D Board, Robert Sarbacher, I'm forgetting his official title, but brilliant physicist, brilliant guy. Jesse talks about him all the time. He met with Canadian radio engineer Wilbert B. Smith and said some pretty outstanding statements such as, flying saucers exist. Their modus operandi is unknown, but efforts to kind of understand them, reverse engineer them are headed by Dr. Vannevar Bush. And the matter isn't top secret to the point it's classified two points higher than the H bomb. And so this made its way into an official Canadian Department of Transport memo that Wilbert Smith then created two UFO projects for Canada. Project Magnet and Project Second Story. But UFO researchers like Henry Azadahel and William Steinman would interview Robert Sarbacher and he would name one person that was really intimately involved with UFO crash retrieval operations. Dr. Eric A. Walker. And so eventually Dr. Eric A. Walker was contacted by the same researchers, William Steinman and so forth. Dr. Eric A. Walker not only admitted he was at the 1965 Kecksburg, Pennsylvania crash, not only admitted that he knew about the Majestic 12, but also said one of the most interesting quotes in all the subject, when asked about how to gain access into these programs, he, he said something along the lines of what do you know about esp? Extra sensory perception? Unless you know about esp, you would never be involved in these programs. And this was 1982, he said that. So Eric A. Walker, who started the Applied Research Laboratory, Pennsylvania's U ARC is. Is one of the most underrepresented and entwined guys in kind of UFO lore of all time. This guy said he was at the 65 Kecksburg crash, which is a great case too.
Danny
Yeah. It seems the es. The ESP remote viewing stuff seems to be like the, at the foundation of all of this stuff, man. And it's also like the, the convenient thing about it is it's the most ridiculous sounding thing.
Sam
I'm with you.
Danny
People can, people can like comprehend or like swallow the idea of anti gravity or like aircraft that aerospace companies are making, but as soon as you start saying like, like reading minds or like a sixth sense and controlling with your mind, people are just like, like there's no way. Which is super con if it is legit, which it makes it super convenient.
Sam
Yeah. And I, you know, I, I think that, I do think because I've never seen demonstrations of remote viewing or sigh or psionics, this stuff work. I, I am, I'm of the mind also. Like many of the skeptics, I, I think there should be demonstrations of such a thing. I'd like to see demonstrations of remote viewing of psionics and stuff because just like you and just like a lot of the public, that is the hardest part for me to wrap my head around.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
Technological craft being shot down by the Strategic Defense Initiative. Sure, that's, there's a lot there to digest and research, but stuff like psionics and, and consciousness studies, I, I need to see, to see more to understand. It's so foreign to me.
Danny
Yeah. Have you seen that movie Mirage Men?
Sam
Yeah. About Dodie.
Danny
Yeah. It's a really good movie. And it's just like that, that that movie really made me like more skeptical than ever about everything. You know, I don't, I don't know how accurate that movie is, but it was, you know, it shows you just how much effort that all these companies and agencies are willing to go. Go through to with people and scramble people's brains and manipulate information and like paint a false narrative. And you know that that is when I started to look at some of these whistleblowers, you know, like, is this guy legit who do you look at skeptically? How do I know if I want to trust this guy?
Sam
Right?
Danny
I mean, a lot of them, man, I don't know. I don't know if I. I mean, Grush seems pretty legit.
Sam
Oh, yeah.
Danny
But, you know, there's just. There's so many of them. And you know, some of the guys, like, I think the guy that, that Jesse interviewed, the, the. I think it was a Marine. You mentioned him earlier, Michael. He was the guy who went down into the base and they were like brought through all these, these like compartments and they finally got to this area where there was this like crazy thing he. Oh, Randy.
Sam
Yeah, Randy.
Danny
Randy. I think people like them, you know, it's. It's people that like, aren't selling anything and that seem to be disconnected from it. They seem to be the most credible and they're like, kind of like one off interesting things. But you know, when you have like. I, I don't know about the Jake Barber stuff. I don't know if I can, if I buy that. You know, it's. It's just like if they're, if they were going to the extent to literally put NSA people in a guy's house and beam fake information into his house and try to confuse him and tell him that some alien civilization is on their way to Earth because their planet ran out of water and they're coming here to take over in about 15 years if they're willing to go to that extent and send some guy into a mental hospital just to. Just to make sure nobody believes anything he says about seeing these aircrafts flying over the mountains. Imagine what the hell they're doing 60 years later.
Sam
Absolutely.
Danny
It's almost incomprehensible, especially when you add the Internet and social media into it. It's like, Jesus Christ, man. Like, how are we ever gonna get to the bottom of any of this stuff?
Sam
Well, specifically, Dodie has been rearing his head recently. He was on some live streams. Stream where he said that. Yeah.
Danny
And that's. He's all over Twitter like, like that's.
Sam
He's so weird. He said that he was recruited in 2019 or something to work alongside Lou Elizondo to spread disinfo for Space Force. But then he came out and said that that was AI and then he said, no, it wasn't. AI was talking about something else. So Doty's always still kind of flirting around. And then there's, of course, just the other day, that new Wall Street Journal article. Did. Did you see that? It's a Sean Kirkpatrick love letter that says we solved all the UFO program. All everything was just an Air Force hazing ritual. That new new signees to various Air Force programs when developing stealth technology would be shown pictures of flying saucers made to sign an NDA and told oh, we have secret alien technology and blah blah, blah.
Danny
Is this the Wall Street Journal thing that like talks about Lou Elizondo? Because I saw something on Twitter this morning about like some sort of Wall Street Journal article.
Sam
Oh yeah, no, Lou responded to that.
Danny
That. Oh okay. That same article you're talking about.
Sam
Yeah. And the article talks about how, how like the 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base incident was just like a large EMP device that was brought up to the front gate of Malmstrom AFB 60ft in the air and basically took a bunch of Minutemen missile operators by surprise, turning off the ICBMs just so there's, there's. Unfortunately with a subject, there's disinformation and nonsense and difficult gates to check and difficult probabilities to assess at every single corner. It's such a hard field to navigate because there has been sophisticated disinformation campaigns since the 1950s. I mean 1953, right after the sightings of UFOs over Washington D.C. there was something called the Robertson Panel. The Robertson Panel was supposed to investigate UFOs but had already had a pre written conclusion to Diswell. Public worry about UFOs and say everything was okay. It's just there's no problem here. There's nothing to see here. Same with the 1969 Condon Committee. And then in the 1960s you have things like Air Force Regulation 202 which restricted civilian and military pilots from reporting UFOs. And on the similar side you had Op Nav 3820 which restricted Navy guys from reporting UFOs with a $10,000 fine and possible imprisonment. So all along the way you have all of these psyops and you have all of these interesting things. Then of course we have OS app. And then a tip recently those Bigelow Aerospace slides and documents were leaked that talked about a tip as a white world cover program for OS app. It's just there's. There's so much nonsense to look through everywhere.
Danny
And another interesting thing bringing up Bigelow Aerospace is the fact that John, or is John Bigelow. No, it's not John Bigelow. What's his first name? Robert Bigelow. Robert Bigelow is so obsessed with the remote viewing precognitive dream. Near death experience. Yeah, he does these contests with people like to, to do studies on near death experiences. And like he's just spending a ton of money trying to understand this crazy stuff that's like, it's like almost stuff that's impossible to like make measure and it's like sci fi Woo woo. Stuff that he's interested in and he's like one of the biggest investors in this UFO aerospace stuff.
Sam
Yeah. And then according to some of the, the BASS documents that released from the offset program, like Bass was seriously studying the, the Tic Tac scene by David Fraver as like a human made creation and so forth. You see some of those. This all started with like a pretty recent Reddit whistleblower, a guy who came forward on Reddit talking about how the Tic Tac is ours, that Lou Elizondo and Jay Stratton specifically are legacy program gatekeepers that essentially kind of keep emergent technologies from surfacing and then provided a bunch of the BASS documents. Really, really interesting if you saw that.
Danny
I haven't seen that. That's interesting.
Sam
Which of course on Reddit you got to be a little careful with any whistleblower. Same thing with Reddit and 4chan healthy people on Reddit. Yeah, Reddit. I don't know why you'd ever post there, but it's still Reddit. Me too, I'm always browsing. But it's still pretty, pretty interesting. But you never know how to assess that, especially actually kind of. You're right. Bigelow is really interesting how he's so into more of the medical metaphysical side, paranormal stuff. Like he's like Skinwalker Ranch and werewolves and stuff, man.
Danny
So crazy.
Sam
See, that stuff's tough for me because I like to just stick to military agencies, intelligence agencies, DOE laboratories, contractors, all that. I like to look at stuff you can really kind of itemize and list out and, and draw chains of, of custody and and so forth. So some of that esoteric stuff, I'll leave that in the consciousness studies to. Because he's got a way better way to talk about that and way better hold on it than me.
Danny
Yeah, no, it's, it's, it's a lot, man. And that's what I like about your stuff, is that you, you like are going to the crazy extent to like get as much corroboration for this military stuff and this technology stuff, which is rare to see and you know, like, it's hard, it's hard to find this stuff, bro. Yeah, the stuff that you're like that Your hour and 45 minutes into the history of this case that happened in Peru freaking decades ago. You're, you're, there's not many people that are spending that much time and doing that much homework to connect all these dots that you're connecting.
Sam
Well, I always worry, I, sometimes I worry that the stuff will be too boring. But I need to say it because specifically for Jonathan like to arrive at the conclusion that it was NEST that picked him up. Doe Nest. I drew out flight routes from the Doe Cessna jets they owned in 1980, 96 from Sandia National Labs down to Panama Air Force Base and different place around the there to see if it was even technically feasible that that could have been nest. So a lot of these crash retrieval cases, whistleblowers, corporations involved, they, you know, I, I, I'm not solving anything. I'm trying to, I'm doing the best to, to get to the bottom of it, but they really need to be scrutinized intensely because just re, just reading the testimony and not really arriving at any conclusion or not having any supporting evidence, it's just not enough. In my opinion. Just regurgitating the stories isn't, isn't enough.
Danny
Right. And that's a, that's a trap that you can get into. And you know people, these people that are like posting every day on every social media plat to just talk about like the news of the day, you kind of get bogged down. You kind of like lose your footing in what you're really trying to, in like the real investigations that you're doing. You're obviously spending obviously. These videos aren't quick for you to make. No, I take you like months to make.
Sam
Yeah. That's why somebody recently called me like a, a podcaster and I'd say no. Like I, I, I fancy myself as like an old school UFO investigator. Like I, I want to do the research. I, I want to publish on YouTube. I, you know, if YouTube didn't exist, maybe I'd write books about stuff. But I, all I want to do is investigate these cases which, because I do it so I can arrive to my own conclusions, like it's, I make these projects very selfishly for myself sometimes because a lot of the time when I'm researching or doing the investigation, I can kind of click with various things and I also jam pack as much fact or as close to fact as humanly possible because when I create more work, I want to be able to reference my previous work that's incredibly detailed. So if I, if I want to reference a contract I covered when talking about Lockheed Martin. I'm going to make darn sure that I talk everything about the contract and the agencies at play and so forth.
Danny
Forth. Right. You were mentioning earlier when we talked about Corso on the day after Roswell, you said there was some writer that was a Hollywood writer that like made up a bunch.
Sam
Oh yeah, Bill Burns.
Danny
Because the reason I'm curious about that is, is there was a bunch of stuff in that book about like Velcro and Kevlar and all these like human technologies that were found in that crash. Do you think that was added by this Hollywood guy? I think that was real.
Sam
Some of them were added, some of them weren't. But the distinguishing difference Corso makes in his work is like integrated circuitry and transistors and stuff. He makes the claim that a lot of these stuff weren't copied. Like the technology wasn't basically seeded from craft, but we as humans had our own evolution of these technologies. And an understanding of a different variation of something like the transistor integrated circuit allowed for further advancements of our technology. Because I know Jesse talked about it with you, or I can't remember where Jesse talked about it, but he was skeptical that stuff like transistors were taken from the Roswell craft when transistors and various concepts for transistors had existed. Existed previously. And I tend to agree with that. I think if anything, that technology was likely used to bolster existing technology and not just copied.
Danny
So you think that that thing was a reproduction vehicle?
Sam
No, no, no. So like I think that humans, let's say, let's take the transistor, for example. If a transistor was pulled from the Roswell craft.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
I think that humans were already working on concepts similar to trans, transistors, technology similar to transistors and pulling like a more advanced transistor type piece of technology off the Roswell crash may have allowed us to make quicker advancements in our current human prosaic technology because we can analyze non human technology, not inventing technology out of the ether because we just pull it from a non human source.
Danny
Right.
Sam
So more so just like copy and not copying somebody else's homework, but taking influence from other technology on existing technologies.
Danny
Right.
Sam
There's still a lot of questions with Corsa. Right. Like we can't. There's a lot of rebuttals for most of that technology creating, I mean, even passive night vision systems. Colonel John Alexander, who I have my problems with.
Danny
Yeah. Night vision was another technology that got.
Sam
In the crash well, Corso said that there was an I film on the beans and that's where passive night vision systems were pulled from. That's a very big claim. But what's interesting to me about this is in the manuscript, it was just made for his grandchildren. Right. It wasn't made for public consumption, it was made for his family. So it's not like he's trying to sell this story to a huge world because there's massive differences in the manuscript versus the book. The book talks the first chapter about Corso sitting like Isaac Newton under a tree, like thinking about the Roswell crash, basically placing himself there. No, the manuscript is super dry. It repeats itself dozens, if not hundreds of times, but it just is, is is basically Corso's words actually from Corso and not with added fluff like in the book. In the book there's one like senior intelligence or DoD official that Corso basically convinces to, you know, perform a self inflicted gunshot wound with like Corso acts so tough to do that. That's not in the manuscript. That's fluff nonsense to make something sell to Hollywood. So there's a lot of added information that I, I really understand why people take Corso so skeptically if all they've read is the day after Roswell.
Danny
Right, right. What, what is, what is your take on John Alexander?
Sam
John Alexander? I don't know. He would. I. What? I think the most interesting example of where John Alexander was President. President was 1985 at the Advanced Theoretical Physics Working Group that was held at BDM's facility in McLean, Virginia. Right. So this was an event that Okie Shannon, if you've heard of Okie Shannon, he was director of like special projects at Los Alamos National Labs. And he is mentioned multiple times in the Wilson Davis interview. In 1985 he went to attend this event at BDM. McLean. This event was classified using DOE controls. Right. Which is really interesting. A lot of it was ran by John Alexander and at that time new BDM board member Albert Stubblebine, who had just left US army incom for BDM in 1984. At this conference there was so much talk about UFO reverse engineering programs, you know, conducted through speeches and organization by Alexander, including a massive mention of a, I think it says, like huge engineering project under Bobby Ray Inman. And of course that's somebody we talked about guy, right? No, Bobby Ray Inman is the neuro guy. He's the CIA guy, he's the NSA guy, he's the SAIC guy, He's the Wacken Hut guy. Oh wow, he's, he's one of the main villains of this, of this entire story, I'd say something I forgot to tell you about is in 1989 he talked to NASA Mission Specialist Bob Eschler. Bob Eschler called him. Somehow they worked, they got in a relationship and we're talking to each other and Bob Eschler basically asked if recovered UFOs would ever become available for technological research. And what's interesting is this phone call is really recorded so you can actually listen to it. And Bobby Ray Andman does the whole I know nothing about that, but directs eschler to current CIA DS&T Directorate of Science and Technology Deputy Director Everett Hindman says if you want to know about it, go talk to Hindman. So Esler talks about Hindman, Hindman freaks out, says no, don't talk to me. Nothing there. Hindman was also director of the NRO program B and was actually the first one of the first heads of Pine Gap when it opened up in the 70s. In 2023, a UFO researcher, RGH UFOs met, each emailed Hindman and I wish he would get back to me, but he's never responded to me. And Hindman alluded that he did in fact work in UFO programs because he said I'm no longer in that area of research. But back to Inman. Inman also pointed Bob Eschler, NASA Mission Specialist to former Director of Naval Intelligence Sumner Shapiro. Sumner Shapiro was also a BDM board member, but Sumner Shapiro met with Bob Eschler. And Sumner Shapiro told Bob Eschler that not only had he studied craft up close, but they were shipped between different DOE laboratories. And some of them featured interlocking components that had to be assembled and disassembled in certain ways if you're going to gain access to the craft. So Bobby Ray Inman points Bob Eschler to all sorts of these guys. Bobby Ray Inman is former director of Neuro CIA. All this, but then in 2020, and this echoes the present very well, Bobby Ray Inman appeared on Project Unity, Jay Anderson's podcast and said he had found explanations, conventional explanations for every single UFO sighting, which is nonsense to, to take that stance that every single UFO sighting you've ever cracked sounds like Sean Kirkpatrick. So this guy in 1980 pointing Bob Eschler to first hand UFO retrieval knowledge people and then he is walking those statements back. And Bobby Rayman has a very illustrious history. He was also on the board for Wacken Hut, which is a private security agency mentioned by so Many whistleblowers and including performing security at Area 51s4.
Danny
Yeah, I learned all about Wackenhutt when I had the dudes in here that made the Danny Castilero documentary.
Sam
Really?
Danny
Have you seen that documentary? Ah, holy, bro, you gotta watch that. It is. They talk all about, like, it's. It's called the Octopus Murder.
Sam
You know what? I can't believe I haven't watched the Octopus Murders yet. So many people have told me to watch it.
Danny
Amazing. It. They talk. They. It basically explains how, like, all of these things are connected with Wacken Hut, the CIA and all of these different scandals that have ever happened from, like, Watergate to, like, Iran Contra and all this stuff. It's all a part of this big, crazy, deep state blob octopus. And all these tentacles are attached to one another. And Danny Castilero got to the bottom of this thing and he was found. He was found with his wrists slashed, bathtub in a hotel room. Yeah. And it's. It's an amazing documentary. And they. They go deep into the Whacking Hut stuff.
Sam
What. You know, Wacken Hut even has ties in the subject we're talking about now with the Department of Energy. I mentioned the Department of Energy special response teams that are like really highly armed guys at DOE national labs that, you know, maybe they transport nuclear materials, maybe they transport radiological materials, maybe sometimes they transport UFOs. But these guys were trained by Wacken Hut, so they get Wackenhutt training. Wacken Hut worked closely alongside Indusec or industrial security personnel, which I think industrial security personnel are the actual armed guards and so forth that will be inside of a UFO facility guarding the USAP program locations and so forth. So I think Wacken Hut is intimately entwined. And Bobby Ray Inman, he was a board member of Wacken Hood.
Danny
It's interesting, he said that. He was the guy who said that a bunch of the stuff can be explained away with a conventional explanation. I think some of them definitely can.
Sam
Yeah. Agree.
Danny
I think. I think even the. The. The stuff that was leaked by the. The 2017 New York Times stuff.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
The footage of the. The. I forget if it's the.
Sam
Go fast.
Danny
There's one of them where the. Basically it shows the thing flying across the water with the water in the background.
Sam
Yeah. Go fast.
Danny
Yeah. And he's like, whoa, are you seeing that? Or whatever. You can easily explain that with. Because the. What people don't understand is that object is moving in one direction and the plane is moving in the other direction. And you have the parallax of the water underneath it to make it looks like it's, it's looks like it' 10 times faster than it could be a bird. Yeah. Flying across the surface of the water.
Sam
I, I agree with you. I, I don't think those videos are the cream of the crop definitive anything. I, I, I, in fact, I think that video and picture evidence is some of the, the least compelling stuff we can get. I'm, I'm with you. The debate still rages on about those videos. It's 2025. Those videos were released in 2017 and there's still been no progress made on a single one of them.
Danny
Right.
Sam
Besides maybe just the go fast and kind of downgrading it to possible parallax effect.
Danny
Right.
Sam
What would be a treat is if you're familiar with the whistleblower map. Matt Brown. Okay, so Matt Brown wrote the Immaculate Constellation report.
Danny
Oh yes. Okay.
Sam
Some of those in that Immaculate Constellation report are for people that don't know.
Danny
What the Immaculate Constant Constellation report is. Can you like summarize?
Sam
Okay, so Immaculate Constellation, according to Matt Brown, who you know, I put a lot of faith in, was a reactionary special access program formed I think 2017, 2018 to kind of catalog various morphologies, sightings, databases of, of UFO sightings. And there's been a lot of discussion that everything Matt Brown found was in a Shriver War Games file. I highly doubt that. But within the Immaculate Constellation report there's detailing of, you know, videos and imagery from satellites, of morphologies, of craft, from everything to triangles hovering over the Indo Pacific captured by Indopaccom, to saucer, giant saucers resting in clouds, almost like camouflaging itself. The interesting thing about this report is it talks specifically about reproduction vehicles. It once said alien reproduction vehicles, but I think taken out. So yeah, Matt Brown stumbled upon this database and created the Immaculate Constellation Report which was presented to the House in November of 2024. Jeremy Corbell, I think it was his report, but Shellenberg, Michael Shellenberger presented it and Nancy Mace entered it without, you know, Jeremy's page. A lot of drama there. But it's a really interesting report. And of course Matt Brown just did a three part interview series with Jeremy Corbell. And recently I started making some scathing tweets directly accusing Pax river out there near Virginia of having hangers owned by Amentum. I think it is that house. Some recovered craft.
Danny
Really? Wow.
Sam
Let's, let's see that dang satellite footage of that saucer resting in the clouds because that's the type of, Of. Of footage that's. That's going to be compelling. You know, recently there was the Lou Elizondo kerfuffle of presenting the irrigation circles. Did you see that?
Danny
No.
Sam
Oh, my goodness. So at the uap.
Danny
Oh, yes, I did see it. This was at south by Southwest.
Sam
No, no, this was. This was early May.
Danny
Oh, okay.
Sam
There was a UAP disclosure fund meeting, and I think it was Admiral Tim Gallaudet, Lou Elizondo, Chris Mellon, and Eric Davis speaking. And there were some really interesting things said, such as Eric Davis talking about four types of non human species and as well as most retrievals being maritime retrievals, which would then create a whole new world of investigation for us in Neuro. And then Elizondo gets on stage, says, hey, I was given a picture by a pilot this morning taken at this elevation, and it's just two elevation circles that has a. A small illusion of. Of being like a saucer hanging over a flat land. That. That's the kind of stuff that actively hurts the topic very badly.
Danny
Yeah, that's not a good look. What did people call him out on it?
Sam
Yeah, and there's a. Yeah, it was. Well, it was debunked within like an hour. And, you know, props to. Props to the people who, who debunked that. But I just. I don't think that if that image wasn't properly vetted that ever should have been posted, you know? Yeah, because he. He said he was given the photograph that morning or the night before, hadn't had time to vet it, but if he can't vet it, and Eric Davis has just talked about four species of non humans and maritime retrievals. Please, let's not. Let's not show that, because that's just crap evidence to, to begin with. Videos and stuff. Really. Don't. Don't push the. Push the envelope. There's endless debate over pictures and sightings, and it's a huge problem because there had been previous pictures posted by Lou of a chandelier in Hungary. Do you remember that photo?
Danny
No.
Sam
It was a reflection of a chandelier he initially called a mothership. So we got to stop with those photos because it's not helping anyone.
Danny
Have you seen the video? I'm sure you've seen the video of the. What do they call it? The. The one. The one that was in Iraq.
Sam
Oh, the Mosul orb or the jellyfish. The jellyfish. Yeah, the jellyfish.
Danny
Yeah, the jellyfish. Looks like a cluster of balloons.
Sam
Gosh. Yeah, I. It's. It's so hard to tell with because Jeremy Corbell posted the. Or said the full video shows the thing rising out of the water.
Danny
Oh yeah.
Sam
And if that exists, that dispels the whole balloon narrative. But until we're presented with that a cluster of balloons or other prosaic explanations are, are perfectly reasonable.
Danny
Yeah, we had. What's his name, the NASA engineer Kevin.
Sam
Knuth or he was Kevin Knuth.
Danny
He wasn't an engineer. He was.
Sam
He's a New York University physicist.
Danny
Physicist.
Sam
Great guy.
Danny
Right. He worked for NASA for a while, I think. And he was telling me the whole story about the, the Japanese airliner.
Sam
1826.
Danny
Yes, exactly. And that whole story of that guy, that guy's testimony of that giant freaking ship the size of like 15 football fields pulling up right next to him. That's bizarre. And there was also a radar guy apparently that like corroborated all of it.
Sam
Because you remember the, the pilot of the Japan Airlines flight, I think this was in 1986, said that huge craft basically orbited around his plane at insane speeds.
Danny
Yeah. And he tried to take a picture of it and the thing just disappeared in an instant.
Sam
Yeah. And you're right, it was tracked on radar as well. I can't remember the. I'm sure the debunker explanation is that it was Venus or something that the, the.
Danny
It was Venus.
Sam
Well, you know, the, the joke here is that so many debunkers when, when trained pilots say they see strangers lights. The debunker explanation is just Venus or something. But that's such a compelling case. There's also a Spanish airliner case in the 70s of an actual plane commercial airliner that was grounded due to UFO sightings in the plane's pathway. I can't remember what the flight is. It's like TK something. But that's another really intriguing story that was also captured on radar. That sort of multi sensor detection is. Is really what. What can help push the envelope. And Kevin Knuth is brilliant. He talks about that case in his paper. Paper Estimating flight characteristics for anomalous unidentified phenomena or something like that. It came out in 2022. 2021, 2022. But he also talks about some of like the physics and experience g forces by craft in, in that sighting in the Graham Boothane encounter, I think it was. And then the, the tic Tac in 2004, which he estimated when the tic tac change from a high elevation to just above sea water, it could have experienced up to 5,500 G's of accelerated force. Which is crazy.
Danny
Yeah, there's a lot, I mean there's a lot of sightings from pilots and, and airplane sightings from, from all around the world. It's. And then, you know, another thing I wonder about is like how, how many like going to this underwater neuro thing. Like you never hear about submarines witnessing anything that. Well, submarines also don't have windows, which is convenient.
Sam
Yeah. But what about the radar that like.
Danny
They have all kinds of, I'm sure they have all kinds of, of sensors that can detect anything around them and so sonar and, and all this stuff and they spend so much time underwater and there's so many submarines. Annie Jacobson, when she was on here last, she was showing us a map of all the submarine highways around the world for all the countries and between the U.S. russia and China, it is just like the oceans are littered with submarine highway nuclear submarines patrolling everywhere. So there's got to be tons of reports from these nuclear subs, but which obviously would never probably leak into the public. Right.
Sam
And what's interesting is, you know, I think you and Jesse talked about it. Robert Hastings and UFOs and nukes and how UFOs swarm nuclear sites. It stands to reason that UFOs would swarm nuclear subs, of course as well. They're loaded with warheads and there's a lot of. Of. So in Project Blue Book there's a great document, it's like the Unexplained of Blue Book. And it's just all the really unexplained sightings that had no real conclusion. And some of them are of course maritime and US societies. And some of these are like Tic Tacs hovering above the water in 1950. And I think Kevin Knuth talked about a New Zealand destroyer case just off of New Zealand. I think it was a, I think it was actually a Kiwi ship and not an American ship that encountered like a huge saucer type craft that passed very fast under the destroyer and knocked out the power.
Danny
Oh yeah, I think I remember him saying that. Yeah.
Sam
And then there I've, I've talked to some.
Danny
Know something. Sorry, continue.
Sam
Oh no, I've talked to some former Navy guys who have talked about like they've mentioned aircraft carrier sized us and this is a guy I plan. I'm not going to spoil it because I plan to talk to him kind of soon on one of my programs. But that, I really hope he talks about that because that is intriguing. Aircraft carrier size uso. But you're talking about NASA.
Danny
Yeah, I was going to say. I was going to say n. You know, NASA has got to have. There's be. Got to. To be some. You know, I know NASA is a very public facing organization, but like you would imagine that if NASA's been involved in so much since the moon landing and all that stuff, that there's got to be some sort of interest or investigations into this stuff from people at NASA.
Sam
Well, plenty of NASA astronauts have had a interest. Gordon Cooper and Edgar Mitchell, I mean Gordon Cooper himself discussed even before he was on NASA, NASA flights kind of chasing UFOs in a, in a jet while in service. And there's there. I can't recall them off the top of my head, but there are stories of like lunar or Apollo astronauts on the way or returning from the moon scene.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
Strange craft or strange craft following them. There's allegedly a tape taken by one of the Apollo astronauts. There's the testimony of, of. This is a famous Greer testimony of Donna Hair. She was a former NASA employee who claimed that NASA would airbrush UFOs out of various satellite imagery or space imagery. But I agree, but it already is. Somehow it seems like NASA's almost disconnect. NASA feels a little bit to me like it's a little bit left out of the club. NASA's pretty underfunded. NASA doesn't have some of the most cutting edge technology. I think, at least to me it seems like a lot of the cutting edge technology and actual craft materials are not relegated to space exploration and seeing Mars. It's relegated to tactical reconnaissance. It's relegated to asymmetrical warfare advantages. And that stuff's going to be kept in the deep black of the military and intelligence community.
Danny
Yeah, I think. Who was it that was telling me. I think it was Jason Giorgiani was telling me a story of a guy who I think he worked at NASA but was like shown something and then he got like hit on his bike. He got killed like, like riding his bike like after that.
Sam
Oh, I'm trying to.
Danny
God. Who was that? I think we talked about this with Kevin Knuth as well. There was some guy or. No, maybe Jesse talked about it with Rogan too. There was some guy who basically was like shown photo. Oh, this, this has something to do with the moon. He was shown something on the anomaly.
Sam
Oh, Carl Wolf.
Danny
That's Carl Wolf. Yes. And he was killed.
Sam
Yeah. And I think Joe made a joke like doesn't look like he biked enough because he was a little bit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Carl Wolf talked about anomalies on the moon and how. I think what they spoke about is Carl Wolf was privy to some of these images and was like gob smacked and so excited for the upcoming news to show structures.
Danny
Saw it. He's like, oh my God, this is going to be released. It never got released.
Sam
Yeah, that's. That, you know, that's another Greer whistleblower. I, maybe there is some interesting stuff on the moon. I know Jesse and Joe were talking about the dark side of the mood, how you know, the moon's tidally locked, so a lot of the time the dark side faces away from us. But also there was a recent, there was a guy on Sean Ryan. It was a recent General, I can't remember what branch of service, but was talking about how the Chinese are mining helium 3 on the moon.
Danny
Oh, really?
Sam
For power sources. That's crazy because we haven't had a. We haven't. The US hasn't had a person out of low earth or orbit since like 1972.
Danny
Right. Wow.
Sam
That's on that. Unless we have ARV that are traversing our solar system, which is possible because you know like Gary McKinnon, right? He's the NASA, he's the NASA hacker in 2002. I think it was the guy who.
Danny
Lives outside the States now.
Sam
Yes. He hacked into various DoD databases and found like a non terrestrial officers list. And I, I can't remember the ship, but he, he saw an image of like a huge soft saucer shaped, I'm sorry, cigar shaped craft in front of one of our Jovian planets. So who knows? You know, there's, there's the whole secret space program stuff that SSP with like Corey Good and the 23 and back, that's all really out there stuff that I don't really subscribe to. But you know, maybe there is a. Maybe there have been ARVs that have been taken for a spin outside of, outside of Earth.
Danny
Yeah, the moon stuff is odd. Moon stuff is odd. The, the, the moon landing stuff is really odd too because I know it's, it's frowned upon to, to question the moon landing, but like there's a lot of really big questions that like need answers about the moon landing. Like, like how did they, how do they lose all of the data on the moon landing stuff? They, they claim that if you ask Chat GPT chat GBT will tell you that the response or the, the answer to why they lost all of that information in that data is because they accidentally overwrote their hardware hard drives. Like they use those hard drives and they. To Rewrite stuff and they accidentally, like, erased it or whatever. So. So now we have none of that.
Sam
Technology that seems like a I forgot my homework type statement as a kid.
Danny
Yeah, it is. And it's like, it's also the only. It's also the only technological feat in any sort of industry or any sort of technology that hasn't advanced or, or like, exponentially grown since it was first implemented.
Sam
Right, right. Because we were Talking about the DSRVs, right, the deep Submergence Rescue Vehicles. Those had. When they were created in 19, when they were operational in 1972, they had better computing systems than even the latest Apollo lunar modules. So there wasn't the best and brightest technology and innovation in these Apollo systems. It was pretty mundane technology that never seemed to, to innovate.
Danny
Yeah. And I've never heard. I even asked Kevin about this when I was on, when we were on here. I asked about that Van Allen Radiation Belt stuff. And like, you know, is it, is it really that toxic or, you know, have we not been able to send anyone through that Van Allen Radiation Belt? And I haven't heard anyone give me a reasonable explanation as to why, how we can get through that. And, and like, why. Because apparently, like, the Russians sent like a dog through the Van Allen Radiation Belt and it died like a day after.
Sam
The claim there is that the Van Allen Radiation Belt, like, destroyed, either keeps. Either destroyed the footage that we had of the moon lading, or it kind of keeps us close to home. Basically, it's toxic for a human to pass through, which it's this. The latter.
Danny
It's toxic, like, alleged, according to this guy we had in here, Bart Cyl, who has all these documentaries about how.
Sam
The moon landing was. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Danny
He claims that no human can survive passing through that Van Allen Radiation Belt.
Sam
Unless we have shielded ARV materials.
Danny
Right, right. Unless we have shielded RV materials. But then you was like, we, we, we would have been going to the moon, you know, ever since then, but we, but we haven't. And we keep saying every single president, every single president has said since Bush. Oh, yeah, since, since that happened. I think Jimmy Carter was the first one said, we're going to go. We're going to go back to the moon. And then, you know, even Trump has said multiple times, we're going to go back to the Moon. But the moon landing, that the moon missions keep getting pushed back. Pushed back. And it just recently got pushed back again. Yeah. From. It was supposed to happen September this year, and now they're saying it's going to happen like June of next year.
Sam
Remember we were supposed to go to Mars in 2025. And even back in the 60s and 70s out of the Rand Corporation and stuff, there were all sorts of plans for lunar bases and like lunar tunnel systems for trains, huge plants. What. None of these. There were supposed to be maglev systems underground on the moon like maglev trains. And none of this ever transpired. It is curious. The whole moon is. The Apollo missions. There's a lot to chew on there and I've never really taken the time to sit through and sift through it. But it's so interesting.
Danny
And that period of time in the middle of the Cold War was when the United States was. There was so much deception and so much happening around that. I mean the Kennedy assassination, cover up, you know, Watergate, you know, MK Ultra, that was. That was all happening at the same exact time the moon missions happened. So. And you know, it's just there's so many questions and you know, the fact that anyone who questions it is automatically painted as a fool.
Sam
Yeah, yeah. Anything should be questioned. One of the. Speaking about exploring our own solar system on our own moon, what we talked about the, the Flux Liner alien reproduction vehicle. I forgot to mention one of the. The interesting things Brad Sorensen said is that some of these suit and ties showing off the Flux Liner claimed that the Flux Liner had been taken to various places in our solar system because this thing flew at basically this. The speed of light using zero point energy systems and that our own solar system was devoid of other intelligent life which probably. So that's interesting. So there's always a world. There's always a possible world in which either Gary McKinnon's non terrestrial officers or the Flux Liner alien reproduction vehicles out zipping by Jupiter or Saturn, which. Gosh, that would be intriguing.
Danny
Yeah. Catherine Fitz is. So she sent me this. This book called. I think it's called the Rings of Saturn. Have you heard of this?
Sam
I think so.
Danny
We're allegedly like back in the. I forget which year it was but I get. There's a photo of the first probe that got like really close to Saturn. Took a photo of the. The ring around Saturn and the. I haven't read the book yet but. But apparently the claim of the book is that they found like some sort of weird looking vehicle that was like whoa. Parked inside of the ring of Saturn.
Sam
I. I think I've. I've heard this. I, I think I've heard this in passing, but I don't really know anything about it. Wow.
Danny
Yeah. It's just interesting. Somebody like her who's so smart. Right. And she's, you know, she's a math wizard. You know, she. She. She looks at this stuff, and she's been in the government, and she's. She's a very reasonable, rational, rational, smart human being. Also, like, believes in all this stuff. Like, you know, taking all this stuff from the Nazis and. And creating a breakaway civilization of bankers trying to get off the freaking Earth in case something happens. And, you know, all this UFO stuff, it's like a. It's a weird thing for someone like her to be interested in, but, like, you know, she's a very credible person.
Sam
Yeah. And she's really hip to the kind of UFO lore and the UFO subject. She had, like, a series of 20, like, 25 interviews over the years on Dark Journalist. And I watched everything. Really? Yeah. Oh, she is over 20. Everything from, like, the UFO economy 1.0 to 3.0 to so many things. And she's really dialed in with a lot of these subjects.
Danny
She blew my mind when she was explaining, like, Elon's Doge. When she was explaining, like. Like, Elon created DOGE to find all this waste, fraud, and abuse. Right. But he's getting. He's taking auditing, like, the irs, Social Security, the hhs, and not looking at the black hole of the trillions of dollars missing from the Pentagon.
Sam
Yeah.
Danny
Like, and her. What she was saying was that Elon's deliberately trying to, like, get all of this data from the IRS and the hhs because it's, you know, you could have all the data on all the human beings inside of the United States and integrate that with XAI and Paler AI. And Elon's been, you know, on record talking about how he loves China's WeChat. You know, the WeChat is the. Oh, yeah, it's everything. It's basically payment, social media, texting. Like, it's all. It all is all funneled through this centralized WeChat and. And the fact that he's, you know, talked so highly of the WeChat thing and how he wants to create. Turn Twitter into his own WeChat, and simultaneously working with Paler and integrating all this stuff and using all of the hhs, Social Security and IRS data to integrate it with the AI is. And working with Palantir, who just got, like, a. Like a $800 million contract two weeks ago, I don't think there's any optimistic outcome of doing something. Something like that.
Sam
No.
Danny
And he was also this recent falling out with him And Trump, oh my goodness. Part of it had something to do with Elon really wanted this specific person to be the head of NASA. And Trump said, no, I don't want that guy to be the head of NASA. Because he said something was fishy about him or something. What?
Sam
That Twitter beef came out of nowhere. That was really shocking to see because then of course, Elon implicated Trump in the Epstein files and he said that's why they're not released. He just deleted the tweet too. Yeah, things got ugly really fast. And so you're saying you're not optimistic about this kind of Doge platform A. Because we would lead towards a. Even closer towards a CCP national security state with that centralized processing and that probably wouldn't even get to the bottom of where these dollars are going, right?
Danny
Yeah, apparently. Apparently all, you know, all the places that Elon was looking for, waste, fraud and abuse pales in comparison to what the Pentagon is missing and the trillions of dollars. Like why didn't he go look for that?
Sam
Because those are funneled into black holes. And there's so one of the things I really want to understand that I really can't for UFO programs which, you know, I'm interested in, Catherine Austin Fitz is interested in, is the creative accounting around them. You know what I think? I can't definitively prove it, but I think there are numerous vehicles in which to fund these programs. Like we talked about earlier, idiq, indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity contracts, IDC contracts, sole source contract contracts, cash transactions, skimming off contracts, overcharging, all sort siphoning off funds, leftover funds, end of fiscal year. The amount of creative accounting must be a nightmare to, to try and track any of it. That's why it would be great if we had a UFO whistleblower that actually worked in legacy program accounting. That, that'd be a couple. Some people's dream. That'd be Catherine Katherine Austin Fitz's dream.
Danny
Yeah, yeah, for sure. Sure it would be. But like again, it's refreshing to see somebody like her looking at it from the, looking at it through the lens of accounting.
Sam
Yeah. You know, and it needs to be done because especially for the subject of like deep underground military bases. Back in the 60s and 70s, the US Army Corps of Engineer, like we talked about, published a ton of studies on deep underground facilities and would often go through cost evaluation and discussed level cost and kind of come to conclusions that these bases could be constructed. They could be constructed in pre existing cavities without too much expenditure out of, out of the Budget. And there's also discussion that some of these tunnels between these underground bases are used are of course cord out via tunnel boring machines, TBMs. But that a lot of these projects, to find these dollars we might have to look at the Bureau of Reclamation that have dug out tunnels all across the United States for waterways, for aqueduct, aqueducts, etc. And how these might have some clandestine secondary operations to turn track those monies.
Danny
And like one of the questions with these, these underground bases and these bunkers that people are building, like if they're, if there's some sort of like catastrophe and that's the main idea for people that build their own bunkers is like how, how are you going to power it once you run out of fuel? Like, like do they have some sort of like crazy special energy?
Sam
They could also self contain nuclear reactors. But I mean if that ever happened, you know, you and I'd be screwed. I, I live in, in Denver. There's a massive FEMA continuity of government site under Denver. Oh yeah, I'm not going in there. There's Mass Mount Weather, like we're not going in there. All of these sites, a lot of them are for continuity of government. But then there's deeper layers, there's, there's huge stiffs existing around and a lot of them are provable. For example, the Manzano storage area at Sandia National Labs is an acknowledged stiff. An area under Los Alamos National Labs also in New Mexico is an acknowledged stiff. And then there are the Army Corps of Engineers. There's historical conspiracies of massive underground facilities below China Lake, right in California, Naval Air Weapons Center, China Lake. Really creepy place. And places like Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona. And back in the 60s the US Army Corps of Engineers did a ton of deep basing site studies and show that specifically I think it's Imio county where China Lake is and then Yuma County, Arizona are perfect spots where natural cavities exist, where massive underground facilities can be built without having to core out any more, more rock. So some of these places, there are some US Army Corps of Engineer studies that some of these underground locations can be located up to 8,000ft underground. 8,000.
Danny
God.
Sam
That'S crazy.
Danny
Yeah, I would imagine they probably also have, I mean if I was to bet, I would imagine they, they have to have some sort of setup on the moon, like some sort of base on. If we actually did go to the moon in 69 and 70, you know, during those Apollo missions, I would find it hard to believe that, that we haven't set up something there to like, at least back up the data of humanity, you know, because if, if there is some sort of like crazy catastrophe that wipes out most of civilization, it's going to be like it's going to wipe out our technology and the, the data that we have. And you would want to offload that. You would want to keep that safe somewhere for humanity to eventually reset somewhere.
Sam
Oh yeah. And if, if you do have a secret space program that uses some types of conventional rocketry where you have to overcome the Earth's escape velocity, it makes far more sense to station some of those assets on the moon where you don't have to consistently overcome that at such an escape velocity.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
So it makes perfect sense.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
And of course, the RAND system and other other FFRDCs and corporations of interest were doing studies of maglev systems below the moon's surface, which if we've done it here, which I believe we have, I think it's definitely possible on a place like our moon.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
Especially if we have stuff like the TR3B for logistics, an ARB to transport some stuff or what. You know what Michael Herrera talked about that huge octagon craft that he saw in Indonesia that was able to fit multiple containers carrying people, according to him and Jake, as well as massive trucks able to zip together, fly off.
Danny
Right.
Sam
So that sounds like a perfect, perfectly suitable logistics transportation craft that you could use to shuttle materials or building materials, construction materials, supplies, logistics to place like the moon if you want to have a off planet base.
Danny
Yeah, totally, man. Well, bro, thank you for doing this. This is amazing. Do you tell people your real name?
Sam
I think Jesse said it once, so it's. It's okay.
Danny
Okay.
Sam
Yes. So go by Sam.
Danny
I didn't know if you're keeping it secret or not.
Sam
Oh, no problem. I just don't like when marines try and scare me by saying my full name. Yeah, because he did the full. I think he. I'm trying to remember, but he did the full M. Samuel, like full name. So.
Danny
Yeah.
Sam
But thank you, brother, for having me. This has been an honor and this is the coolest studio I've ever seen.
Danny
Oh, thanks, bro. Yeah, we've been working on it for a while, but we're about to move, so it's gonna go.
Sam
Oh, nice.
Danny
What are you working on? Anything else like coming up people should look forward to?
Sam
Yeah, absolutely. So whenever one project's done, I'm always working on the next. I don't know what's going to be released by now. It may Be a big project on saic. Or it may another interview with a former Navy commander with some really interesting knowledge on like the Wilson Davis notes and stuff. But in between my videos always expect another one in about four weeks time. As soon as one ends, I'm working another one. That's the channel the videos will always be about crash retrieval, reverse engineering, material exploitation. I try and lay the topics out as, as best as possible. If, if you want to start on one video for, for new viewers, maybe the, the, the Navy one because that, that one, that one's really interesting. Or maybe the Jonathan Want or Alien Reproduction vehicle. Cor. I don't know.
Danny
The way Gant 1 is phenomenal.
Sam
That one right there, Reverse engineering at Edwards. That's the story of Ed, the guy I told you about. So that, that's always one interesting that Koyam. I don't know, man. They're all, they're all fun to me. That's why I make them.
Danny
It's a, it's a rabbit hole, man. And once you start watching, you can't stop. It pulls you right in.
Sam
Oh, I know the subject is so difficult to parse through, but hopefully, hopefully a couple years from now we'll, we'll have this subject ironed out a little bit.
Danny
Yeah. See.
Sam
And hopefully the UAPDA, the new legislation to be entered into the 2026 National Defense Authorization act gets passed. Because what that does quickly is that aims to set up a independent review board appointed by the President, confirmed by the Senate of like civilian experts to help roll out a responsible disclosure plan. Formerly it was McConnell and Rand Paul I think, that blocked this from the Senate and then Senate communicating with the House to get this passed. So, and I think there was some involvement of Mike, Mike TURNER FORMER Rep. That, that he's the Ohio guy. Right, right. Patterson. And then there's even some rumors of like the eminent domain discussion being talked about by Travis Taylor and Jay Stratton. So I, I truly hope that if that legislation gets introduced again, which it. I believe it will, that that can finally get passed. We can finally start to appear behind the 1954 Atomic Energy Act.
Danny
Well, cool, man. I learned a lot. Thank you again for your time.
Sam
Thank you, brother.
Danny
We'll link all this other stuff below. And that's all, folks.
Sam
All right. Appreciate it, man.
Danny
Everybody.
Danny Jones Podcast - Episode #320: Deep Sea Alien Bases: The Underwater CIA Project No One Talks About | UAP Gerb
Release Date: August 4, 2025
Host: Danny Jones
Guest: Sam (UAP GERB)
In Episode #320 of the Danny Jones Podcast, host Danny Jones delves into the mysterious world of deep-sea alien bases and an underwater CIA project that remains largely undocumented. Joined by Sam from UAP GERB, the episode explores classified military operations, UFO crash retrievals, and the intricate web of government and contractor involvement in unexplained aerial phenomena (UAP).
Overview: Sam introduces Operation Laser Strike, a 1997 classified mission by the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) aimed at tracking narcotics traffic in South America. This operation involved multiple military branches and the CIA, focusing on monitoring narco planes using advanced radar systems.
Key Incident:
Sam Details:
Introduction to NEST: Sam explains the Nuclear Emergency Support Team (NEST) within the Department of Energy (DOE), a rapid reaction unit designed to respond to nuclear or radiological incidents. Established under the 1954 Atomic Energy Act, NEST has jurisdiction over classified materials, including those related to UFO phenomena.
Key Points:
Regional Incidents: Sam draws parallels between Jonathan Wigan’s experience and other UFO crash incidents in South America and Mexico during the 1990s:
Key Insights:
UAP Disclosure Act (UAPDA): Sam discusses the UAP Disclosure Amendment, part of the 2023-2024 National Defense Authorization Act, aimed at declassifying UFO legacy programs and technologies of unknown origin.
Legislative Hurdles:
Current Status:
National Underwater Reconnaissance Office (NURO): Sam introduces NURO, a secretive branch within U.S. intelligence focused on underwater reconnaissance and retrieval operations, even more sensitive than the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO).
Case Study:
Key Quote:
"[32:25] Sam: In 2002, a former Marine diver named Mark recounted a mission where a 70-foot triangular craft was found on the Rockall Trough seafloor, buried for decades."
Area 51 and S4: The conversation shifts to Area 51, specifically the S4 facility, a subsidiary site involved in reverse engineering UFO technologies.
Conflicting Accounts:
Sam’s Analysis:
Major Contractors: Sam highlights the pivotal roles of SAIC (Science Applications International Corporation), Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and others in UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering programs.
Contractual Dynamics:
Key Insight:
These contractors are deeply entwined with classified UFO programs, often operating through Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs) and University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), providing a cover for sensitive operations.
Secret Space Programs (SSP): The discussion extends to Secret Space Programs, where advanced technologies and ARVs are allegedly developed and operated.
Alien Reproduction Vehicles (ARVs):
Key Quote:
"[22:15] Sam: These ARVs provide significant tactical advantages, far surpassing traditional military technologies."
Introduction to Psionics: Sam touches upon the controversial topic of psionics—the use of psychic abilities like remote viewing to locate and interact with UFOs.
Jake Barber’s Account:
Sam’s Perspective:
He expresses skepticism about psionics due to the lack of verifiable demonstrations, emphasizing the need for concrete evidence before integrating such concepts into UFO research.
Stephen Greer’s Disclosure Project: Sam critiques Stephen Greer, the founder of the Disclosure Project, highlighting internal conflicts and questionable methodologies in handling whistleblowers.
Conflict with Lou Elizondo:
Key Quote:
"[56:54] Danny: It really is, man."
"[58:30] Danny: Yeah, yeah. No, there's definitely some, some personality quirks there."
"[59:37] Sam: I would rather err on the side of pushing for disclosure instead of, like, trying to get into, like, interpersonal problems."
Financial Mysteries: Sam highlights the challenges in tracing funds allocated to UFO legacy programs, pointing out creative accounting practices such as:
Examples:
Key Insight:
The opaque financial structures make it nearly impossible to audit or trace the exact allocation of funds towards UAP-related projects.
Path Forward:
Final Thoughts: Sam emphasizes the necessity of rigorous investigation and corroboration in UFO research, advocating for a methodical approach to unravel the complex interplay between government agencies, contractors, and classified programs.
Quote:
"[154:35] Sam: Hope the UAPDA gets passed so we can start to appear behind the 1954 Atomic Energy Act."
"[155:35] Danny: I learned a lot. Thank you again for your time."
Notable Quotes:
Final Note: This episode of the Danny Jones Podcast offers an in-depth exploration of the clandestine efforts by U.S. military and intelligence agencies to retrieve and reverse-engineer alien technologies, particularly those submerged underwater. Through detailed testimonies and critical analysis, Sam from UAP GERB sheds light on the hidden layers of UAP investigations, the complex relationships between government bodies and contractors, and the ongoing struggle for transparency and disclosure.
