Chronic Migraine Patient
jobs chronic migraine 15 or more headache days a month, each lasting four hours or more, can make me feel like a spectator in my own life.
Botox Information Speaker
Botox Anabotulinum toxin a prevents headaches in adults with chronic migraine. It's not for those with 14 or fewer headache days a month. It's the number one prescribed branded chronic migraine preventive treatment prescription.
Botox Warning Speaker
Botox is injected by your doctor. Effects of Botox may spread hours to weeks after injection, causing serious symptoms. Alert your doctor right away as difficulty swallowing, speaking, breathing, eye problems or muscle weakness can be signs of a life threatening condition. Patients with these conditions before injection are at highest risk. Side effects may include allergic reactions, neck and injection site pain, fatigue and headache. Allergic reactions can include rash, welts, asthma symptoms and dizziness. Don't receive Botox if there's a skin infection. Tell your doctor your medical history, muscle or nerve conditions including als, Lou Gehrig's disease, Myasthenia gravis or Lambert Eaton syndrome and medications including botulinum toxins. And as these may increase the risk of serious side effects, why wait?

Narrator/Host
Over the next 12 months, we should be able to answer the following questions.
Co-host/Interviewer
What UFOs look like, who pilots them
Narrator/Host
and where they come from.
Co-host/Interviewer
That's the claim that was made by
Narrator/Host
Jake barber back in January 2025.
Guest Optimist
There's a real message here from you of incredible optimism about what this could represent.
Jake Barber
Yeah, this is why I know disclosure is coming. And guess what? It's going to come out in the most beautiful way. I believe the United States government in the next 12 months is going to use me and my team as a peaceful, non judgmental path forward to disclosure. They're going to help us conduct our operations and gather evidence in order to present this subject matter to the public so that these questions can be answered once and for all. And all the questions I'm talking about, what do the craft look like? How do they operate who is operating them, how are they being operated and where are they coming from? We should be able to answer those questions probably entirely in the next 12 months.
Co-host/Interviewer
Where is Skywatcher now?
Narrator/Host
They have disappeared for all intents and purposes.
Co-host/Interviewer
Now there's some explosive claims about Skywatcher
Narrator/Host
being integrated into the US government.
Co-host/Interviewer
So today we're going to get into that and spoiler alert.
Narrator/Host
I track the Sky Watcher helicopter.
Co-host/Interviewer
Skywatcher created their YouTube channel on 18
Narrator/Host
January 2025, just one week before Jake Barber's NewsNation appearance, where they made bold claims of disclosure. Within 12 months their YouTube Chann put
Co-host/Interviewer
out incredible cinematic videos and it was
Narrator/Host
clear they had investment, they had land, they had helicopters and apparently credibility and credentials.
Co-host/Interviewer
Alex Klokus, a financier, tech entrepreneur and
Narrator/Host
media founder who was so involved in the leadership of the group that he personally registered the Skywatcher AI domain in his name in December 2024, just a month before Skywatcher launched their YouTube efforts and Jake Barber appeared on News Nation making big claims. But after two exciting parts of their supposedly multi part series of encouraging exciting YouTube videos and over 120,000 subscribers to their channel, they go dark. No disclosure, no explanation on the origins of the craft or recovery of a craft as it was suggested. Just rumor.
Co-host/Interviewer
And importantly, no formal explanation to any of us.
Narrator/Host
People like me who had helped promote them, who was excited over what could come of them. I made videos, I wrote articles in defense of them, asking people to give them the benefit of the doubt and support them until evidence points to the lack of trust. At that point there wasn't. We were excited. Let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Then they disappeared. They ghosted us. We did have hints of what might be happening first from James Fowler. James Fowler posted on Twitter on 18 August 2025 that he had the opportunity to serve as founder and consultant to Skywatcher, where he led field operations supporting the mission of exploring UAP and advancing their domain awareness. He said. I'm stepping away from active involvement with Skywatcher. With my contributions now limited to my foundational work, I am excited to focus on new ventures in aerial intelligence dedicated to building innovative technology to address complex challenges in this field, he said. I remain proud of my foundational contributions at Skywatcher and wish the team continued success in the future endeavors. And he's copied In Skywatcher hq, Jake Barber and Professor Gary Nolan and Skywatcher's official X account reposted this message saying the Skywatcher team is excited to Congratulate James Fowler on his new venture contracting with the US Government and we sincerely thank him for his contributions to Skywatcher. He has played a key role in all of our field operations and in the data we have collected to date. So you probably agree there is a suggestion there, a hint at least that at least part of the Skywatcher team has been incorporated into the US Government. A special access program, potentially. This gets very interesting and I'll get into this a little bit later. Let's move on. So what came of the psionics that worked on the Sky Watcher team? Potentially. If James Fowler has taken his dog whistle, the electronic summoning device, off to
Co-host/Interviewer
the US Government, what about the remainder
Narrator/Host
of the Sky Watcher guys, the psionic assets?
Co-host/Interviewer
Well, I sat down with one of
Narrator/Host
them, John, who told me what he thought had happened to Skywatcher.
Co-host/Interviewer
You've touched on Skywatcher a fair bit there and there's a lot of intrigue around them. I would love to know what like, I mean, I don't know how much you can say if you've got like an NDA or if you're free to talk or whatever, but. But what? You know, what does a day out with Skywatcher actually entail? You know, is there several of you, I. E. People that are doing the sort of C5 work or is there just one of you at a time? How does it sort of work?
John (Skywatcher Psionic Member)
Well, I guess I can speak to what's on YouTube. And there was multiple of us meditating at the same time. We had like a, like a pre. Meditation, just sort of gathering the intention and then we go into our own modalities. But as a group and as we're doing that, we're just hoping that things come in for the documentation side to capture and film. There was a technology side that I got zero exposure to. So I know nothing about that. I just know they called it the dog whistle just like anybody else I have about their much knowledge. But for the psionics, we would meditate periodically for fairly long amount of time. And just as a group. Yeah, but each doing our own kind of ways, but simultaneously.
Narrator/Host
Yeah.
Co-host/Interviewer
Did you feel like it was. You were more sort of successful with it as a group than when you had previously done it on your own?
John (Skywatcher Psionic Member)
No, not necessarily. I think as a group was a little bit different where it's just, I don't know, you're not as in much control. You're a part of, of a, of a bigger process where when you're a solo, you own the process. Sometimes at Skywatcher when I would go out by myself in my own preferred timeframe, maybe 8pm, 9pm I was seeing a lot more sky activity than later in the night as a group. But then there were moments as a group that was magical where things came overhead that defied logic and you could just feel that it responded to the call out. But no, I think, and most psionics would agree with me that the smaller the group, the easier it is and that that almost counter. Like a lot of people will think, oh man, I want to get like enlarged. If more of us come together, it'll happen. Not necessarily. I, I hope that that can happen, but it is easier the smaller the group, in my opinion.
Co-host/Interviewer
What's. Do you know much about what's happening with the Sky Watcher guys now? Because I know that we, we got a lot from them maybe like six months back and just prior to that, but it seemed to have petered off and we've not really heard much from them in the last six months. I don't know if you still connected to those guys or if you're going to be doing more with them. Are we going to see more from them?
John (Skywatcher Psionic Member)
I hope so. I think Mike is starting to kind of go through his own endeavor, entrepreneurial ways of using psionics to show more people. But also it seems to be somewhat of a professional route, which was interesting. Jordan Jozak's doing his own thing, Shout Out Jordan, where I think he's having events that people can go to and take part. You know, it's not, it's not cheap to put on an event, so I imagine there's a ticket price, but. And then myself, I'm just, you know, freestyling it where I'm calling out to the sky and filming what coming, what comes in and trying to kind of build socials maybe. And J2 is, J2 is interesting. He's.
Jake Barber
He, he.
John (Skywatcher Psionic Member)
He's not very out there on the social media platforms, but when he is, it's pretty profound what he says. And he wrote book actually called Psionicology and it's very interesting. But yeah, everyone's just doing their own thing. Nobody's kind of getting back as a group, I don't believe. I think J2 and Mike meet up out west a lot or more often than the rest of us. But yeah, no, everyone's kind of doing their own thing. I haven't heard anything since the event I went to and I don't know. I guess it's all for the good though. Like everything I think is going to unfold the way it should. So if Skywatcher needed to sort of disband, quote unquote, then so be it. And we keep flowing.
Narrator/Host
Now, whatever you make of Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, he was the director of the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. I had the opportunity to interview him and one of the questions I put to him was had he met or even heard of Skywatcher? And very interestingly, not only had he heard of them, he had met them.
Co-host/Interviewer
Have you, Are you aware of Skywatcher, Jake Barber and those guys that say that they've got data and they're able to summon and they've got a dog whistle and all that sort of stuff? Have you had any contact with those guys or.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick
I've heard about that, yep.
Jake Barber
Mm.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick
We've talked to them. Absolutely. I found absolutely nothing credible about it.
Narrator/Host
Okay.
Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick
They weren't able to produce any evidence. They weren't able to produce any pictures, documents, video, data, anything. Right. It was.

Narrator/Host
Yeah, now, regardless of what you think of Dr. Sean Kirkpatrick, and honestly, I take everything he says with a pinch of salt. I'm not, not naive, but he is probably the only current or former Pentagon official who has made any public comment about Skywatcher. He claims that he met with them, they gave no data, no photographs and no videos.
Co-host/Interviewer
Now, I know a lot of people are going to stop me there and
Narrator/Host
say, hang on a minute, we've all seen the data that they've put out there.
Co-host/Interviewer
They put it out there on their YouTube channel.
Narrator/Host
It's been on X.
Co-host/Interviewer
But that's not what Sean was saying. Sean was saying that they didn't bring
Narrator/Host
any data with them. And I don't think the Pentagon's going to accept a link to a YouTube video as evidence. So why is that?
Co-host/Interviewer
Now they've got the opportunity to respond to that.
Narrator/Host
I reached out to them and I haven't had a response.
Co-host/Interviewer
So I'm putting that in there because that's pretty much all that we've got at this point.
Narrator/Host
Let's move on.
Co-host/Interviewer
As I said earlier, I did reach out to Alex.
Narrator/Host
I haven't had a response from him. I reached out to the Pentagon's public affairs officer, Suzanne Gough, who seems to
Co-host/Interviewer
be the middle person between anything within the Pentagon and released to the public.
Narrator/Host
So she's like the liaison for anything UAP related. She did reply to me, but essentially I've got nothing for you today.
Co-host/Interviewer
I'll let you know if I do get anything and I'll post it on
Narrator/Host
Instagram, which is my main hq, if
Co-host/Interviewer
you don't follow already.
Narrator/Host
Uapfiles on Instagram and I'll also stick it up on substack now, interestingly, the current rumor is that Skywatcher has been gobbled up into some kind of US Government special access program. And comments made by Eric Burleson recently on the Annie Frey show have kind of fueled that on an event that
Eric Burleson
occurred where they basically tried to set up a perfect case scenario where that would cause UAP to, to come in and then to capture them or to try to try to document them or record them. And it was very successful. So this is, this is when this only happened a few months ago. And this is when the whole conversation changed.
Narrator/Host
The rumors are that some of these testing and weird behaviors and U. S Government testing has taken place somewhere near El Paso and White sands remember the February 2026 El Paso airspace shut, rumored to be an active UAP shootdown attempt. The official explanation subsequently became that a Mexican drug cartel drone had crossed into US airspace and that the threat had been neutralized. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the closure
Co-host/Interviewer
resulted from the DOD and the FAA
Narrator/Host
responding to a cartel drone incursion. But back on April 6, 2025, I spotted this image Jake Barber took in front of his helicopter. I found it intriguing that he had allowed the registration or tail number to be in the picture. I immediately screen grabbed it, checked flight tracker to see where he was hanging out, and it came back to Van Horn, Texas. Just up the road from El Paso International Airport. And just up the road from there is White Sands, where they test missiles and so forth. I know Pavel from Secoactivo podcast has been looking into El Paso and White Sands cases for a while now. And more recently, Ross Coultart from News Nation. Reality check. He was covering it too. So I dug up the screen grabs from my phone. It's strange that Jake and his Skywatcher team have been operating in and around that area.
Co-host/Interviewer
It takes just 45 to 50 minutes
Narrator/Host
to fly from Van Horn, Texas to El Paso International Airport. Loss of desert. It looks like vast open spaces that they operated in, at least with that helicopter for a good six days that I'm aware of. So where are we going with this? Well, let's look at three theories. Theory one, Skywatcher decided that they wanted to come together and build some kind of technology, sell it to the US Government and somehow be incorporated into a special access program. So now they had access to the goods, and in order to do that, they had to go out there, threaten to release this publicly, give everything to everybody. So the government had no option but to just take them on and pay them out, and probably give them quite a lot of cash. That's number one. Theory two, that Skywatcher haven't actually stopped, that they've gone dark for a while because they're working behind the scenes to
Co-host/Interviewer
bring about disclosure and that they're going
Narrator/Host
to come back with YouTube episode three and just give us everything disclosure, where the crafts come from, what the crafts look like, who pilots them, all of the stuff that they said they were going to give us within 12 months. So then we come to theory three, that Skywatcher have in fact not really achieved the things that they set out to achieve. They haven't figured out where the craft come from, who pilots the craft, haven't got any clear photos of the craft, and we haven't really achieved this sort of disclosure from Skywatcher.
Co-host/Interviewer
And in fact, rather than coming forward
Narrator/Host
and saying, look, we've not achieved what we thought we were going to achieve, they've said, yeah, we have. We were so good at what we did that we got gobbled up by
Co-host/Interviewer
the US Government and now we're part
Narrator/Host
of a special access program. Although I haven't said that.
Co-host/Interviewer
That's kind of the rumor that's been put out there.
Narrator/Host
And sources from where ever have passed that on to content creators and media personalities because they save face doing that. Not that we failed, but that we were so successful that they had to take us on and that we had to get involved in national security to help them out. Now, I'm not going to point my finger and say this is definitely what's
Co-host/Interviewer
happening because I just don't know. And I don't think that's overly useful
Narrator/Host
unless you've got data and evidence to
Co-host/Interviewer
point to that there are some things
Narrator/Host
that I don't feel comfortable about and they just don't sit right. But equally, they were clearly there. They were working and operating in that area, the El Paso and sort of
Co-host/Interviewer
White Sands, where all of that weird stuff's been happening.
Narrator/Host
And we've had the recent comments from Congressman Burleson about this event that's taken place that sort of changed Washington. So that's really, really interesting. I just don't know. I really, really would appreciate somebody like Jake Barber coming forward or Alex Clackas
Co-host/Interviewer
coming forward and saying that this is
Narrator/Host
actually what's happened and giving us something. Because they made promises to us and they took us on board and we supported them and we promoted them and now we're not really getting anything back from them. So if I've missed anything, if you
Co-host/Interviewer
think I'm wrong, if you think I'm
Narrator/Host
right, whatever, let me know in the comments below.
Co-host/Interviewer
I'd really like to talk this one through.
Narrator/Host
I'd like to follow this up and if I get anything back from the Pentagon or from Alex from my messages, then I'll let you know. Until the next one. Take it easy, guys.
