    Podcast Summary

    • Podcast Advertising and UFOs: A ConnectionPodcast advertising through Lipson Ads connects businesses to engaged audiences, like those interested in UFOs, as seen in 'Need to Know'. Recent events and news, such as the Roswell Film Festival and Senator Marco Rubio's comments, highlight the growing recognition and need for investigation.

      Podcast advertising through Lipson Ads offers businesses the opportunity to reach a large and engaged audience, including those who listen to shows like "Need to Know," which covers unidentified anomalous phenomena. The hosts of the show, Bryce Zabel and Ross Colhart, recently attended the Roswell Film Festival, where their podcast was recognized, and they discussed the significance of Roswell as a place where a potential UFO incident occurred. They believe that there's a growing recognition that Roswell should be properly investigated by congressional oversight committes. In the meantime, Bryce is currently in Las Vegas and shared his observations about the city and its housing market. In the news, Senator Marco Rubio has made extraordinary comments about the potential significance of UFOs and the need for further investigation. The lack of response from the Pentagon to challenge the credibility of David Grush, a key witness, has led many to believe that there may be something to these claims.

    • Interview about UFOs and government cover-ups could shift conversationWhistleblower allegations about undisclosed UFO funds refered to Inspector General, Senator Rubio mentions other whistleblowers, some still working in government fear for safety.

      The interview given by Senator Marco Rubio on NewsNation on June 24, 2023, regarding the allegations made by whistleblower David Grush, could mark a significant turning point in the discussion about UFOs and potential government cover-ups. Grush's allegations, which involve the intelligence community not disclosing information to Congress about funds spent on UFO-related programs, have been referred to the Inspector General of the Intelligence Community. Rubio also mentioned that there are other whistleblowers with firsthand knowledge of the situation and that some of them fear for their safety. The seriousness of the situation is underscored by the fact that these individuals are still working in the government and are afraid for their jobs, clearances, and personal safety. The widespread interest in this topic, as evidenced by Rubio's interview and the reactions it received, underscores the importance of this issue and the need for transparency.

    • Congress Considers Legislation for UAP DisclosuresCongress is pushing for mandatory UAP disclosures from individuals and companies under government contract within 6 months, potentially revealing non-earth origin or exotic info.

      The US Congress is considering legislation, under the Intelligence Authorization Act, which would require individuals and companies, who have come into possession of material or information related to unidentified anomalous phenomena and are currently or have been under contract with the federal government, to disclose this information to the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office within 60 days and provide a comprehensive list and access to the material within 180 days. This legislation, which has been unanimously supported by three powerful oversight committees in Congress, could potentially lead to the disclosure of non-earth origin or exotic unidentified anomalous phenomena material. The clock starts on the disclosure process once the President signs the bill into law. Additionally, the legislation includes a safe harbor provision to protect individuals and companies from criminal or civil actions for complying with the notification and make available deadlines. This is a significant development in the ongoing conversation around UAP and could potentially lead to groundbreaking discoveries.

    • Congress Turns Up Heat on UAPs with Proposed BillThe proposed bill could lead to criminal or civil actions against private aerospace companies for non-compliance with UAP statutory obligations, potentially impacting secret reverse engineering programs.

      The proposed bill in the US Congress regarding UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) could lead to criminal or civil actions against private aerospace companies if they don't comply with their statutory obligations. This suggests that the congress may have insider knowledge about undisclosed programs and is turning up the heat to demand transparency. The bill also includes a sweeping prohibition on funding for any secret programs related to UAPs unless they are formally disclosed to Congress. This could potentially impact long-standing, secretly funded reverse engineering programs in private aerospace companies. The implications of this are enormous and could lead to significant changes in the way these programs are handled.

    • Congress Investigates Companies for Hiding Advanced TechnologyCongress is investigating companies for withholding information about advanced technology, but security clearance issues are hindering progress. Some representatives are determined to uncover the truth, as the implications could be monumental.

      The U.S. Congress is investigating companies for withholding information regarding potential advanced technology, and the implications could be monumental. The hearings have been ongoing since May 2022, but it may take some time before substantive progress is made due to security clearance issues. Some committee members are eager to uncover the truth, but the lack of proper clearances is a significant barrier. The consensus among some observers is that this issue is both impossible and inevitable to keep hidden, as more and more people become aware of its reality. The goal now is for Congress to find a way to tell this story and uncover the details, as many representatives are angry about being kept in the dark for decades.

    • Growing acknowledgment of non-human intelligence and potential technology surpriseCongressional bill proposes transparency on historical exotic technology, acknowledging potential for non-human intelligence and technology surprise from foreign adversaries.

      There is growing acknowledgment among certain insiders that we are dealing with non-human intelligence and possibly multiple intelligences, based on reports of UFO sightings and crash wreckages with intact craft and bodies. The U.S. government may have lost track of historical exotic technology antecedents provided to private aerospace companies, and the increasing potential for technology surprise from foreign adversaries necessitates greater government transparency. The proposed legislation, which requires the director of ARO to notify congressional committees and leadership about historical exotic technology antecedents, could lead to political implications if the government is less than honest with the public. Both political and executive leadership in America should take a proactive approach and address the issue transparently to avoid it becoming a political game.

    • Congressional Interest in UAP: New Office Proposed and Reports ExpectedSenator Gillibrand's bill seeks to create a new office for UAP investigation, while key reports on UFO history are set for release by 2024, driving bipartisan interest in this mysterious phenomenon.

      There is ongoing bipartisan interest in addressing Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) in the United States Congress. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's bill, which aims to establish a new office within the Department of Defense to investigate UAP, has gained significant support from both Democratic and Republican committees. However, the extent of cooperation and transparency remains to be seen, as some legislation, like Tim Burchett's proposal to declassify UAP documents within 180 days, faces skepticism. By June 2024, key reports on government involvement in UFO matters dating back to 1945 are expected to be released, shedding more light on this intriguing issue. Ultimately, the debate around UAP represents an opportunity for political unity and scientific exploration, as the potential implications for national security and human understanding of the universe are vast.

    • New legislation could lead to UFO disclosuresPending legislation may reveal classified UFO info, but lack of funding for investigation hinders progress.

      We are on the brink of a significant moment in history as a new legislation, when combined with NDAA requirements, could lead to the public disclosure of information regarding UFOs and potential classified knowledge held by the Pentagon and intelligence community. This comes amidst growing interest and concern from Congress and high-level whistleblowers. However, it's important to note that the lack of proper funding for the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (ARO) has hindered its ability to fully investigate and report on this phenomenon. Additionally, some key figures in the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence have been dismissive of the possibility of government possession of alien technology, despite not having fully reviewed the evidence presented to them. With the upcoming report and increased scrutiny, it's an exciting time for those interested in UFOs and the potential implications for our understanding of the world.

    • Senior House members dismissive towards UAP issueDespite their positions on intelligence oversight, Turner and Himes' dismissive comments on UAP contradict their usual open demeanor, raising questions about their commitment and knowledge on the matter. Congress needs responsible members to ensure proper funding and rule out any illegal activities.

      The dismissive comments made by senior members of the House Intelligence Advanced Technologies and Advanced Capabilities Subcommittee, Michael Turner from Ohio and Jim Himes from Connecticut, towards the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) issue raises questions about their commitment and knowledge on the matter. Given their positions on the intelligence oversight committee, their lack of endorsement for the legislation and dismissive comments contradict their usual forthcoming demeanor on other topics. The UAP issue, with its long history and recent revelations, requires responsible members of Congress to ensure proper expenditure of public funds and rule out any criminal or illegal activities related to the concealment of this activity. The slow reveal of information could be due to potential unpleasant or damaging details to the status quo. Sen. Rubio's comments about firsthand witnesses coming forward to share information with the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence further emphasizes the significance of the issue.

    • Senator Rubio reveals witnesses to UFO crash retrieval programSenator Rubio disclosed the existence of government witnesses to a UFO crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, some still in service, fearing for their safety. The media and public should focus on potential implications, not stigma.

      The Vice Chair of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, Senator Rubio, has revealed that there are witnesses with firsthand knowledge of a crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, some of whom are still in the government and fear for their safety. Rubio is being cautious to protect these individuals and encourage more to come forward. This story, which involves dramatic allegations and potential government cover-up, is significant but has been largely ignored by mainstream media due to the lingering stigma surrounding UFOs and alien life. The stigma is powerful, but it's slowly being peeled off as more information comes to light. Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, a former US Navy officer, has publicly acknowledged the possibility that we may not be alone based on his experiences and access to classified information. It's time for the media and the public to move past the stigma and focus on the potential implications of these revelations.

    • Stay Informed and EngagedStay updated on current events, engage in conversations, and seek out valuable resources like Ross's book and podcast to broaden your understanding of the world.

      We are living in an unprecedented time of change, and it's important to stay informed. Ross, a retired Rear Admiral from the US Navy, is one of many voices sharing insights and perspectives on current events. His willingness to speak out on important issues is commendable and offers valuable perspective. The volume of information and inquiries can be overwhelming, but it's crucial to stay engaged and keep learning. Ross's book and podcast, Rush, are excellent resources for those seeking to understand the world around them. History is being made, and we have the opportunity to bear witness and contribute to the conversation. So, stay informed, stay engaged, and keep an open mind. As Ross would say, "listen to him."

    The History Of UFO Disclosure - Can The Public Handle The Truth? - Guest : Richard Dolan
    Despite remarkable events of the past six years, the UFO public is impatient when it comes to truth and disclosure. When do we get to see the craft and bodies? Where is the real evidence? Will more whistleblowers come forward? Esteemed historian Richard Dolan has heard these demands before. His meticulously researched books about the complicated politics surrounding UFO truth, including the heavy-handed tactics used by intelligence agencies, the DOD, and defense contractors, are widely regarded as the most comprehensive and accurate accounts of all time. What does Dolan make of recent whistleblower revelations, strident statements by members of Congress, and renewed interest within academic circles? In this far-reaching conversation, Jeremy and George ask Dolan about current events compared to previous periods in American history, about the global nature of UFO incidents, and about how the public might handle UFO disclosure IF the truth turns out to be far darker than we might imagine.  Dolan also reveals details about his latest research project - a gargantuan investigation of USO cases, that is, incidents involving unidentified objects in or around bodies of water.  Check out Dolan’s work here : https://www.RichardDolanMembers.com  •••  Watch the three-part UFO docuseries titled UFO REVOLUTION on TUBI here : https://tubitv.com/series/300002259  •••  GOT A TIP?

    UFOlogy's DARTH VADER Changes His Tune About CRASHED SAUCERS - Guest : John B. Alexander
    Long before the existence of AAWSAP or AATIP, there was another UFO investigation within the Dept. of Defense named ATP [the Advanced Theoretical Physics program], headed by a veteran intelligence officer named Col. John Alexander. Alexander and colleagues searched for hidden evidence of UFO crash retrieval/reverse engineering programs but didn't find any. For years afterward, Alexander was skeptical whenever "crashed saucers" were mentioned, but what about now?  His detractors refer to Col. Alexander as "Dr. Death”. He is purported to have psychic powers and mind control abilities, is often associated with the shadowy "Aviary" group of UFO insiders, and is viewed with fear and suspicion whenever he attends a UFO conference, on a par with the Men in Black or Darth Vader. Alexander chuckles about how he is perceived by ufologists. He led special forces teams into combat during the Vietnam conflict, was involved with the US Army's remote viewing program, became the head of Non-Lethal Weapons research at Los Alamos lab, and in the 90's, hooked up with NIDS, the National Institute for Discovery Science which was created and funded by Las Vegas billionaire Robert Bigelow. Alexander was with Bigelow when the businessman purchased what came to be known as Skinwalker Ranch.  In this episode, Dr. Alexander reveals to George and Jeremy how his view of the “crashed saucers” story has evolved, shares his impressions from the recent Sol conference, discusses previous attempts to achieve UFO transparency through congressional action, and gives his assessment of fellow intelligence officer Col. Phillip Corso.  Check out Col. John B. Alexander's books here : https://www.amazon.com/stores/John-B.-Alexander/author/B001HCZBZY  •••  GOT A TIP?

    Edge of Reality Radio - David Marler and Tom Orzechowski

    Edge of Reality Radio - David Marler and Tom Orzechowski
    Last year, we spotlighted the newly-created National UFO Historical Records Center (NUFOHRC) in Albuquerque, NM. It’s the brainchild of acclaimed UFO researcher-archivist David Marler and is the largest historical collection dedicated to the preservation and centralization of UFO/UAP information in the U.S. On tonight’s “Edge of Reality Radio,” David updates plans to enlarge the entire NUFOHRC via potential U.S. government funding. We’ll also feature Tom Orzechowski, one of the creators of an upcoming graphic novel, “Estimate of the Situation,” which portrays the early days of America’s involvement with UFOs. The book is part of a major national fundraising effort on behalf of NUFOHRC.
