    Podcast Summary

    • Podcast advertising and UAP disclosuresPartnering with top podcasts and their hosts for endorsements or running ads across a range of shows offers businesses access to a large and engaged audience. UAP disclosures, even without physical evidence, are important to pay attention to as the field rapidly evolves.

      Podcast advertising through Lipson Ads offers businesses the opportunity to reach a large and engaged audience by partnering with top podcasts and their hosts for endorsements, or by running reproduced ads across a wide range of shows. This was discussed in the podcast "Need to Know" where hosts Ross Colhart and Bryce Sabol talked about the ongoing UAP disclosure and the potential interview with Sean Kirkpatrick, the head of the All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office. Kirkpatrick, who had previously been criticized for lack of transparency, responded to an email from Colhart expressing interest in an interview, and while he did not outright reject the request, he referred further inquiries to Pentagon Public Relations. The hosts also discussed the importance of paying attention to UAP disclosures, even without physical evidence, as the field is rapidly evolving. Kirkpatrick's email response included a Latin quotation, "universum mutatio est vita nostra est quod cogitones cogitationes nostra facere est," which translates to "the universe is changing. Life is what we make our thoughts," but Colhart humorously translated it as "wtf." Overall, the podcast ad and discussion highlighted the potential reach and impact of podcast advertising and the ongoing developments in the UAP disclosure world.

    • Unprecedented UAP hearing leaves many questions unansweredProposed amendment aims to give ARO more resources and independence to investigate UAPs, addressing concerns of limited resources and obstruction of information.

      The recent UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) hearing was unprecedented in its impact and transparency, leaving many questions unanswered and raising concerns about inconsistencies in testimonies. The All Domain Anomaly Resolution Office (ARO) has been criticized for its limited resources and perceived obstruction of information. A proposed amendment in the National Defense Authorization Act aims to transfer much of ARO's role to the deputy secretary of defense, giving it more independence and resources to investigate UAPs. The public is eager for more information and clarity, and the involvement of key figures like Sean Kirkpatrick could help provide answers to lingering questions. The ultimate goal is for ARO to be a constructive force in unraveling the mystery of UAPs, rather than an obstacle to knowledge.

    • Anonymous tip about an alien probe craft at Area 51An individual claims their great uncle saw an unexplained, egg-shaped object at Area 51, reportedly from another planet, which could not be penetrated or opened. The individual is willing to testify and provides evidence.

      There is an anonymous individual who claims to have information about a potential extraterrestrial object that was recovered and studied at Area 51. This individual's great uncle, who had a high-level security clearance and worked at Area 51 from 1997 to 2014, allegedly saw an egg-shaped, non-human craft that was silverish gray, smooth, and seamless. The object was reportedly about the size of an SUV and could not be cut open or penetrated by X-rays. The great uncle described the object as a probe craft sent from another planet and claimed that the best engineers at EG and G tried to figure out how to activate it but were unsuccessful. The anonymous individual is willing to testify under oath before Congress and has provided evidence, including an official memorandum of record and a photo of the EG and G Engineering Group insignia patch. The individual has also spoken with representatives from Arrow, a UFO research organization, and has signed and dated an official memorandum of record. The credibility of this information remains to be determined, but it raises questions about the public statements made by some UFO skeptics, who claim that there is no credible evidence of extraterrestrial visitation to Earth.

    • Ongoing investigation into ARO's alleged reverse engineering of non-human technologyConcerns about plausible deniability, lack of resources, and clear communication in ARO's UAP investigation. Importance of factual accuracy in public statements. Whistleblower's support to ARO did not equate to employment.

      The investigation into alleged reverse engineering of non-human technology at Aero Racing and Sciences (ARO) is ongoing, with credible evidence still being sought. The speakers on the committee hearing shared concerns about plausible deniability and lack of resources for thorough investigation. They also highlighted the importance of clear communication and factual accuracy in public statements made by ARO regarding the allegations. It was pointed out that one of the whistleblowers, David Grush, did provide support to ARO in UAP-related issues, but did not work directly for the company. The call for a public interview for ARO's response was made to ensure a thorough understanding of the situation.

    • The need for improved questioning in media interviews on UAPsMedia interviews on UAPs require precise language and active listening to fully understand answers, ensuring transparency and clarifying misunderstandings.

      The quality of questioning in mainstream media needs improvement. The BBC interview with David Grush, who provided crucial evidence to the inspector general of the intelligence community regarding UAPs, was a prime example. Grush's firsthand witnesses' testimonies were downplayed, and the interviewer moved on too quickly. Precise language and listening to answers are essential for good journalism. Journalism schools emphasize the importance of listening to answers, but in practice, many interviewers focus on their prewritten questions and fail to fully grasp the significance of the responses. It is crucial for all parties involved, including Dr. Kirkpatrick, to submit to tough questioning to clarify any misunderstandings and provide transparency. We should use this as an opportunity to discuss the long-standing demand for concrete evidence in UAP discussions. While the desire for evidence is understandable, there are answers to be found through thorough investigation and thoughtful questioning.

    • Assessment of Credible UAP WitnessesThe intelligence community has reviewed and assessed credible UAP witness accounts as urgent and credible, with ongoing investigation and potential future testimony from inspectors general.

      While there may not be concrete proof in the form of physical evidence publicly available regarding UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) or UFOs, there are credible witnesses who have firsthand accounts and have shared their experiences with trusted individuals and authorities. The inspector general of the intelligence community has reviewed and assessed the evidence presented by David Grush, a former member of the UAP task force, and found it to be credible and urgent. The public may not get the dramatic disclosure they desire, but the process of verification and investigation is ongoing, and progress is being made behind the scenes. The next step could be inviting the intelligence community inspector general and possibly the inspector general for the defense force to testify in the next available hearing about their verification process and findings.

    • Classification and security concerns limit public access to witness testimoniesDespite credible allegations of a crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, witnesses may not be able to publicly testify due to security and classification reasons, leaving the public frustrated for a clear explanation.

      While there have been credible allegations made about a crash retrieval and reverse engineering program, the public may not get to hear from the firsthand witnesses who have corroborated these claims due to classification and security concerns. The hearings are meant to confirm information through witnesses, but in this case, the witnesses' testimonies may not be made public. The process is supposed to involve someone making shocking claims, followed by hearings where those claims are confirmed or denied by other witnesses. However, in this situation, the proof may not be entirely in the hands of the person making the claims, and there are limitations to what can be disclosed publicly. It's important to acknowledge the frustration of the public for wanting a clear explanation, but it's also crucial to respect the security and classification protocols in place. Instead of pushing for disclosure, it's more effective to focus on confirmation of contact with nonhuman intelligence through official sources.

    • Critics dissatisfied with recent UAP hearingsDespite public interest, the US Congress UAP hearings lacked compelling questions and visuals, leading to criticism. The Senate Intelligence Committee may lead future investigations due to their expertise and resources.

      The recent UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) hearings in the US Congress, led by Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, were underwhelming according to some observers. The hearing was largely criticized for a lack of compelling questions and visuals. Some suggest that the Senate Intelligence Committee could be better suited to lead future UAP hearings due to their expertise and resources. While the hearings have raised public interest, it remains to be seen if and when the Senate will hold further hearings on the topic. The ongoing summer recess in Congress may delay any action until the fall. Ultimately, the future of UAP investigations in the US Congress will depend on the commitment and leadership of its members.

    • Investigating Podcast Advertising and Intelligence Community AllegationsThe Inspector General of the US Intelligence Community is investigating allegations about legacy program crash retrievals and reverse engineering. Senator Gillibrand could call him for questioning, potentially leading to resolution. Podcast advertising offers businesses effective targeting through host endorsements or ads across thousands of shows.

      Podcast advertising through Lipson Ads provides an effective way for businesses to reach their target audience by choosing from top podcasts offering host endorsements or running reproduced ads across thousands of shows. Meanwhile, in the world of intelligence and investigations, the Inspector General of the United States Intelligence Community, currently led by a former Air Force Reserve colonel named Michael Atkinson, is investigating allegations made by David Grush regarding legacy program crash retrievals and reverse engineering. The outcome of this investigation could potentially bring significant clarity to the matter. As for the political landscape, Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, who chairs several relevant subcommittees under the Senate Armed Services Committee, has the power to call the Inspector General before a committee for questioning under oath. This could potentially lead to a resolution if the Inspector General confirms that he has spoken to firsthand witnesses regarding Grush's claims. Ross and I have discussed the potential developments in this story throughout the year, and we've projected that the outcome could either sizzle or fizzle in 2023. Regardless, it's important to stay informed and continue asking questions to gain a better understanding of the situation.

    • Lack of congressional attention to UAP phenomenonWrite to elected reps to express concern for UAPs as an important issue, despite skepticism and dismissal from some media and commentators.

      The UAP phenomenon, despite recent public hearings and evidence presented, still lacks the necessary support and attention from congressional leadership, particularly in the Senate. The lack of public pressure on elected officials to prioritize this issue may be contributing to the reluctance to engage, with some media outlets and commentators dismissing the possibility outright. However, the historic nature of the hearings and the legislation being proposed cannot be ignored. It is crucial for the general public to write to their elected representatives and express their concern for UAPs as an important political issue to ensure it receives the attention it deserves. The sizzle and fizzle discussion refers to the level of excitement and optimism about the progress of this issue, with the speaker expressing a cautious optimism but still expressing concern about the lack of unanimous support.

    • Letters vs Emails: Authenticity MattersSending letters instead of emails can create a more authentic impression and increase chances of being noticed, but addressing the UAP issue in politics remains a challenge.

      While email communication is convenient, sending letters through snail mail can make a difference in getting noticed. Letters require more attention and create a more authentic impression compared to emails. However, the UAP (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena) issue in politics remains a concern, as no presidential candidate seems to be addressing it openly. Despite conflicting opinions in Washington, there is hope that this year will bring more recognition to the issue. On a lighter note, Cherish Alexander is recording an acoustic version of the song "Need to Know," which was originally written by the podcast's host, and the publication "Trail of the Saucers" has been converted into "Need to Know," providing articles and analysis on the UAP issue.

    Same Old UFO Song

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

    What John Bolton Knows

    What John Bolton Knows

    A firsthand account by John R. Bolton, the former national security adviser, directly linked President Trump to a quid pro quo in the Ukraine affair, undercutting a central plank of the defense’s argument. What could that mean for the final phase of the impeachment trial? Guests: Maggie Haberman, who covers the White House and Michael S. Schmidt, who covers national security and federal investigations for The New York Times.

    For more information on today’s episode, visit nytimes.com/thedaily.

    Background reading:

    • A Times investigation revealed that Mr. Bolton privately expressed concern to the attorney general last year that the president was effectively granting personal favors to autocratic leaders around the world.
    • Republican senators had been ready to swiftly acquit President Trump. But Mr. Bolton’s revelations in the manuscript of his new book could change the calculus.
