    • JFK Assassination: New Insights from a Journalist's InvestigationJournalist shares childhood fascination, personal experience, and new findings from investigation into JFK assassination, challenging official narrative with evidence of shots coming from in front of the president.

      The speaker, who is a journalist, is deeply fascinated by the JFK assassination and will be sharing new insights from his investigation for NewsNation, airing on Sunday. He recalls his childhood fascination with the event and shares how even those present at the scene have questioned the official narrative. The speaker also reflects on his own "where were you" moment during the assassination, recalling being in the 4th grade and watching the news unfold on a black and white TV in the cafeteria. The investigation involves speaking with longtime investigators and eyewitnesses, who suggest that shots came from in front of the president, not just behind as originally believed. The speaker remains committed to both his work on NewsNation and his Need to Know podcast.

    • JFK assassination and UAP phenomenon: Suppression of evidence and cover-upsBoth JFK's assassination and UAP phenomenon have had profound impacts on American history, yet both are shrouded in secrecy and controversy. The importance of transparency and accountability in uncovering the truth remains crucial.

      The JFK assassination and the UAP phenomenon share striking similarities in terms of the suppression of evidence and the persistent cover-ups surrounding them. Both JFK's death and the UAP phenomenon have had profound impacts on American history and continue to raise important questions that deserve investigation. Despite the passage of time, the implications of these events extend beyond their historical context and remain relevant today. The persistent disconnect between the public and the establishment regarding the importance of these issues highlights the need for continued inquiry and transparency. Whether it's the assassination of JFK or the UAP phenomenon, the importance of shedding light on the truth and holding those responsible accountable cannot be overstated.

    • Secrets and UFOs: JFK Assassination and UFO FilesDespite promises of transparency, JFK assassination records and UFO files remain partially hidden, raising concerns about government secrecy and accountability. The media's role in keeping secrets must not hinder public access to information.

      Both the JFK assassination and UFOs illustrate the ability to keep secrets for decades. The JFK records, which were supposed to be fully declassified by 2017, are still being withheld, raising questions about why certain information remains hidden. The same issue may apply to UFO files, as the U.S. government has yet to fully disclose what it knows about unidentified aerial phenomena. The JFK case also serves as a reminder of the potential for intelligence agencies to conceal their involvement in investigations and subvert congressional inquiries. The handling of UFO files requires transparency and accountability to prevent similar situations from arising. The media's deference to the intelligence community must not hinder the public's right to know the truth. If we're still waiting for UFO file declassification in five years, it's crucial to demand answers and hold those in power accountable.

    • Exploring historical mysteries and acknowledging potential conspiraciesHistorical events and conspiracies, like JFK's assassination and UFOs, matter and can have implications. Acknowledging and understanding them is important, even if they seem 'nutty' or 'silly'.

      The truth behind historical events, such as the assassination of JFK and the existence of UFOs, matters and can have significant implications. The speaker expresses the importance of acknowledging and understanding these conspiracies rather than dismissing them as "nutty" or "silly." The Mandela Effect, a phenomenon where people believe events in the present change the past, is also discussed in relation to JFK and UFOs. The speaker shares his personal experience of creating a TV series, "Dark Skies," in the 90s, which explored the connection between JFK's assassination and UFOs, and how recent discoveries seem to validate the storyline. Overall, the speaker emphasizes the significance of exploring historical mysteries and acknowledging potential conspiracies.

    • JFK's efforts to prevent nuclear war through UFO collaboration with the SovietsDuring JFK's presidency, he shared UFO data with the Soviets to prevent potential miscommunications and reduce tensions, demonstrating his commitment to peace and space exploration collaboration.

      During JFK's presidency, there were concerns about the risk of nuclear war due to the prevalence of unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs) over the Arctic circle. JFK initiated a program to share data on UAPs with the Soviet Union to avoid potential miscommunications and prevent a dangerous interdiction. A memo from JFK to the CIA, requesting a review of all UFO intelligence files affecting national security, has been discovered. While the authenticity of the memo is disputed, it underscores JFK's commitment to peace and his efforts to reduce tensions with the Soviet Union. The memo also shows that JFK was interested in collaborating with the Soviets on space exploration. Despite the controversy surrounding the memo, it highlights JFK's dedication to preventing a nuclear war and promoting peace.

    • UFOs and JFK's assassination: A possible connectionDuring JFK's presidency, UFOs/UAPs could've been a motive for his assassination due to past events like Roswell and his pursuit of peace.

      During John F. Kennedy's presidency, there were valid reasons for him and members of the national security establishment to connect UFOs or UAPs with the potential for peace being a motive for his assassination. The Kennedy administration had every reason to consider this possibility given the events of the past, such as the Roswell incident 14 years prior. Furthermore, Kennedy himself had a personal understanding of war and its consequences, having experienced it firsthand during World War II. This perspective may have influenced his approach to foreign policy and his pursuit of peace. The recent departure of Sean Kirkpatrick from his role as head of the Pentagon's UFO UAP investigation office, Arrow, adds intrigue to this topic, leaving many questions about the implications of his departure and the future of UAP transparency.

    • Controversy over UAP task force head selectionThe appointment of the head of the UAP task force is causing controversy due to the involvement of the Pentagon and intelligence community, raising concerns about neutrality and impartiality. A verifiably neutral body is needed to investigate UAPs and acknowledge their reality and potential implications.

      The appointment of the head of the upcoming UAP task force, which is intended to provide oversight and transparency on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), is causing controversy due to the involvement of the Pentagon and intelligence community in the selection process. This raises concerns about the neutrality and impartiality of the task force, given the history of secrecy and lack of transparency surrounding UAPs within these institutions. Additionally, there is a lack of consensus on who will be appointed, with various candidates being discussed. The ongoing debate underscores the need for a verifiably neutral body to investigate UAPs and the importance of acknowledging the reality and potential implications of these phenomena, which have been observed for decades and cannot be explained by known objects or technologies.

    • Handling the reality of non-human intelligenceThe media and event moderators missed an opportunity for clarification on former ARO director's views on non-human intelligence due to lack of probing questions, hindering progress in understanding this potential discovery. There's a need for open and respectful dialogue to address implications and threats.

      During a pivotal moment in history when society may come to terms with the existence of non-human intelligence among us, it's crucial for us to focus on how to handle this reality rather than getting bogged down in politics. However, at a recent event featuring former ARO director Sean Kirkpatrick, an opportunity for clarification on his views on non-human intelligence was missed due to a lack of probing questions from the media and event moderators. This pattern of avoiding direct questions on the topic, particularly in the American media, is concerning and hinders progress in understanding this potential game-changing discovery. Instead, there should be a shift towards open and respectful dialogue to address the implications of non-human intelligence and the threats, both real and perceived, that come with it.

    • Lack of transparency from AATIP head hinders understanding of unexplained aerial phenomenaThe new head of AATIP must be open and forthright about unexplained aerial phenomena, engaging with all media and providing proper answers to the public.

      The lack of transparency and unwillingness to engage with tough questions from the head of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), Sean Kirkpatrick, has been a major concern for those seeking answers about unexplained aerial phenomena. Kirkpatrick, who is retiring soon, had a unique opportunity to be open and forthright about these mysteries but failed to do so. The history of unexplained aerial phenomena dates back to World War II and the Foo Fighters, which were reported as both glowing objects and metallic spheres. It's unlikely that anyone had the technology to create spheres in the aftermath of such a devastating war. Therefore, it's crucial for the new head of AATIP to be willing to engage with all media, not just those who avoid asking tough questions, and to provide proper answers to the public. The end of evasion is long overdue.

    • Restoring trust in ADAAP through transparency and independenceThe new head of ADAAP must prioritize transparency and independence to regain public trust and effectively address UAP phenomena, learning from historical examples like the JFK assassination.

      The upcoming leader of the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP), now called the All Domain Anomalous Aerospace Phenomenon (ADAAP), needs to restore public trust and maintain objective independence to effectively address the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) issue. The speaker, who has referred people to Congress due to their concerns with the current investigation, emphasized the importance of learning from history and being transparent. The UAP issue, like the JFK assassination, could significantly impact society if not handled honestly. The speaker expressed that the nation would benefit from acknowledging the truth about JFK's death and the UAP phenomenon, as both situations involve unexplained events that have left many questioning the official narratives. The upcoming leader of ADAAP must prioritize transparency and independence to regain public trust and move forward in understanding these phenomena.

    Same Old UFO Song
    Ross and Bryce catch up on several developments of the past few weeks, including the latest report from AARO.

    UFO Word Games

    How far will Israel go in response to Hamas terrorism?

    Keir Starmer was asked live on LBC how far he'd be prepared to see Israel go in response to Hamas.

    Would he support a blockade? A siege of Gaza? And that's where the questions get tough. Israel has the world's sympathies right now - but no one wants to see this escalated into an existential middle east war. Who is prepared to say so?

    And later, we talk about the new BBC drama about Jimmy Savile and "hiding in plain sight" with Meirion Jones, the journalist who first tried to tell the world Jimmy Savile was a monster.
