Exploring UAPs through the 'Need to Know' podcast: Two experienced journalists, Ross Colthart and Bryce Szabo, use their podcast to introduce UAPs to a broader audience, starting from the basics and providing valuable information
Ross Colthart and Bryce Szabo, two experienced investigative journalists, are exploring the phenomenon of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) through their podcast "Need to Know." They've chosen to use the term UAPs instead of UFOs to appeal to a broader audience and to avoid the stigma associated with the latter term. The podcast aims to provide a primer for those new to the subject and to reach a broad audience, as both hosts are experienced broadcasters. They believe that existing programs may assume too much knowledge and not effectively serve the public. Colthart's recent book "In Plain Sight" and Szabo's investigative work have contributed to the growing interest in UAPs. Through their podcast, they plan to start from the basics and provide valuable information to a wider audience.
Discovering the Truth About UFO and UAP Cover-ups: Bryce Zabel and the podcast host believe in UFO and UAP cover-ups by the US government, debunking official narratives and revealing their significance through research.
The discussion between Bryce Zabel and the podcast host reveals their shared belief in the existence of a UFO and UAP cover-up by the US government. They both agree that there has been a long-term effort to downplay the significance of these phenomena and dismiss them as unimportant or explainable. The host was initially skeptical but was convinced by Bryce's research, which debunked the official narrative and showed that these objects cannot be easily explained. The podcast marks a significant milestone as it was recorded on the anniversary of the New York Times front-page story on UFOs in 2021, indicating growing public awareness and interest in the topic.
Navy pilots encounter UFOs with extraordinary capabilities: Unexplained objects with anti-gravity propulsion, no exhaust, instant acceleration, and defying current technology have been encountered by navy pilots, marked as UAP, in regular occurrences.
A secret UFO investigation program was revealed in a New York Times article in 2017, which described navy pilots and radar personnel encountering unexplained objects with extraordinary capabilities. These objects, referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), could hover, reach extreme altitudes and speeds, and even cloak themselves. Pilot encounters with UAP are not isolated incidents but seem to occur regularly. The objects exhibit five observable characteristics: they can display anti-gravity propulsion, have no visible exhaust, can accelerate instantly, and can maneuver in ways that defy current technology. The New York Times article marked a turning point in UFO disclosure, with increasing acknowledgement and reporting on UAP encounters in the military.
UAP: Unexplained Phenomena with Unusual Capabilities: Government report acknowledges UAP with capabilities like instant acceleration, hypersonic speeds, cloaking, evading radar, jamming sensors, and traversing different mediums, sparking mainstream interest and debate.
The discussion revolves around the unexplained phenomena referred to as Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), which have been observed exhibiting capabilities such as instantaneous acceleration, hypersonic speeds, cloaking, evading radar, jamming sensors, and the ability to traverse different mediums like air, water, and space. These observations have been made by various sources, including government officials and highly sourced intelligence people, leading to increased public interest and speculation about potential disclosure of new realities. The June 25, 2021, report by the Congressional UAP Task Force on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena was a significant moment in the ongoing discourse, marking a shift towards greater transparency and acknowledgement of these phenomena by the government. Despite differing opinions on the implications of this shift, it is clear that the conversation around UAP is no longer confined to the realm of UFO enthusiasts but has gained mainstream attention and acceptance.
Government report on UAP acknowledges unexplained phenomena as 'craft' or 'vehicles': The US Government's report on UAP revealed that some unexplained phenomena captured in US Navy videos could not be explained prosaically and were likely 'craft' or 'vehicles' with capabilities beyond known physics. The objects were not believed to be of American or adversarial origin, implying they may be extraterrestrial.
The US Government's June 2021 report on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) was not a "nothing burger" as some have dismissed. The report acknowledged that the phenomena captured in US Navy videos could not be explained prosaically, and investigators suggested these were "craft" or "vehicles" exhibiting capabilities beyond known physics. The report also stated that the objects were not believed to be of American or adversarial origin, suggesting they may not be man-made. These admissions mark a significant shift from the government's previous stance on UFOs and add weight to the belief that these phenomena are real and potentially of extraterrestrial origin.
Acknowledging the Significance of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena: Pilots have reported encountering unexplained objects, some recorded on video, and the Navy cannot explain these phenomena. Mainstream media coverage has been lacking, but recent admissions from the Pentagon could lead to full disclosure and historic legislation.
The issue of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) is not just a matter of national security, but also a threat to flight safety. This was acknowledged in a report to Congress, where pilots have reported encountering strange objects, some of which have been recorded on video. The Navy has admitted it cannot explain these phenomena. Despite this, mainstream media coverage has been lacking, with some major outlets not dedicating enough resources to the story. The admissions made by the Pentagon are earth-shattering and could lead to full disclosure, much like Watergate. The Gillibrand-Rubio amendment, which includes the term "unidentified aerial phenomena" in US Congress legislation, is historic and shows the seriousness of the situation. The Pentagon has also announced the creation of an acronym, AIOAOIMSG, to deal with this issue. Overall, the UAP issue is a significant story of the year, and it's important that it receives the attention it deserves.
New US law to investigate UAPs with international collaboration: The US Congress is drafting a law for investigating Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) with international partners, forming a rapid response team, and demanding annual public reports.
The US Congress is drafting historic legislation to investigate Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) with unprecedented international collaboration and annual public reports. This includes forming a rapid response team, coordinating with foreign allies, and demanding reports on potential technological and biological effects. Major US intelligence agencies, such as the NRO, NSA, and NOAA, are being ordered to provide data to the Defense Department. This marks a significant shift in the government's approach to UAPs, moving beyond denial and towards open investigation.
Intelligence Community Skeptical of No Advanced Aerospace Technology Beyond US: Intelligence community doubts official claims, citing personal experiences, reliable sources, and UAP incidents near military nuclear assets. Congressional updates on capture/exploit efforts and health effects indicate increased seriousness.
Despite official declarations, many in the intelligence community do not believe that there is no foreign adversary with advanced aerospace technology beyond what the U.S. possesses. This belief is based on personal experiences and information from reliable sources, as well as the increasing number of incidents involving unidentified aerial phenomena near military nuclear assets. The recent congressional requirement for updates on efforts to capture or exploit these phenomena, as well as assessing any health effects on individuals who have encountered them, suggests that this issue is being taken more seriously. The intersection of military and Hollywood, with the latter having a long history of UFO-related content, further highlights the public's interest and potential government involvement in this matter. The real connection between nuclear weapons, nuclear facilities, and unidentified aerial phenomena is also an important and valid concern.
Politicians push for UAP report release amid growing concern: Politicians Kirsten Gillibrand and Marco Rubio call for public release of a report on UAP encounters with military due to potential nuclear security risks. UAPs have been reported worldwide, and recent classified briefings have left a lasting impact on attendees with consistent and recurring incidents.
The UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) issue is gaining significant attention and importance in political circles, with senators like Kirsten Gillibrand and Marco Rubio leading the charge through the introduction of the Gillibrand-Rubio amendment. This amendment calls for the public release of a report on UAP encounters with the military, which has been a topic of concern due to potential nuclear security risks. The issue is not isolated to the US, as these phenomena have been reported worldwide. Recent classified briefings have left a lasting impact on those who have attended, with pilots reporting consistent and recurring incidents. The UAP issue is an active and growing concern, and politicians see the potential political capital in being associated with it early and definitively.
Discoveries in technology unveiling unexplained aerial phenomena: Advancements in technology have led to the investigation of unexplained aerial phenomena, with substantial evidence from military and intelligence departments, but growing public demand for disclosure
Advancements in technology over the last few decades have significantly increased our ability to perceive and investigate unexplained aerial phenomena, which have been observed and documented since at least the end of World War 2. The U.S. military and intelligence departments have access to substantial evidence, including satellite data and witness accounts from pilots, which remains largely classified. However, as more clear and compelling evidence comes to light, there is growing expectation for a more fulsome disclosure from the government. The public's reaction to this evidence is likely to demand answers, making it a potential game changer in our understanding of the world around us.
Acknowledgment of UAPs as a real phenomenon: The Pentagon acknowledges UAPs as real, and it's important for media to investigate transparently and share information with the public
There is a growing acknowledgment that Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs), often referred to as Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs), are a real phenomenon that warrants serious investigation. This acknowledgment comes from various sources, including reports to Congress, secret briefings to Congress by the Pentagon, and legislation like the upcoming Gillibrand legislation. The Pentagon itself has acknowledged the reality of UAPs, and it's important for mainstream media to stop ridiculing, stigmatizing, or treating the topic with taboo. The Need to Know podcast aims to investigate UAPs transparently and share information with its listeners. The hosts, who are skeptical but not credulous, will try to sift through facts and tell the story directly and powerfully. The future holds many mysteries, and whatever is going on, it's something we all ought to pay attention to. If you're interested in learning more, email Need to Know at contact@needtoknow.today.
