BIO: Joe Biscotto is based in Pennsylvania, where he lives with his wife, Georgette, their three children, and their Australian Shepherd, Baker. Before entering the business world, Joe worked in law enforcement—an experience that continues to shape his approach through credibility, integrity, and a level-headed perspective.
Joe has been fascinated by the strange and unexplained for as long as he can remember. Even as a child, while others gravitated toward sports books, he was drawn to UFOs, Bigfoot, the Bermuda Triangle, and other mysteries. That curiosity deepened during his teenage years when he discovered Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM, often listening late at night under the covers. His interest in the unexplained has remained with him ever since.
In 2023, Joe launched UAP Reporting Center on X (formerly Twitter) as a way to become actively involved in a subject he had long followed. The account quickly grew beyond expectations and now has more than 60,000 followers, generating millions of views each month. Joe approaches the platform with a strong commitment to honesty, integrity, and responsible reporting.
Through UAP Reporting Center, Joe covers current UAP news, explores historic and modern UFO cases, and aims to provide a reliable source of information amid the noise surrounding the topic. He also runs The Contact Report, a website featuring UAP news, investigative articles, and a reporting portal for witnesses to submit sightings—some of which are reviewed and investigated. His law-enforcement background, combined with his study of the MUFON Investigator’s Field Manual, gives him a distinctive perspective on UAP investigations.
Joe is also the host of Beyond Top Secret on the UAP Reporting Center YouTube channel, where he interviews leading voices in the UFO field and beyond. The program provides a platform for thoughtful conversations about current developments, investigations, and where the UAP conversation may be headed.
He has also written a book on the UAP topic, which is currently being represented to publishers by his agent. Joe believes the book will make a meaningful impact in the field and looks forward to discussing it publicly once it is released.
We often write about UFO cases that end up being neglected as other more dramatic cases grab the attention of investigators and the press. A case that was doomed to just this sort of treatment involved reports on October 22, 1973, out of Indiana. This was just after the October 12th Pascagoula Incident and the October 18th Coyne Helicopter Incident, and while all three cases share the front page of the September-October 1973 APRO Bulletin, the Indiana case faded into obscurity as the other two became classics.
Rhys Dalton-Morgan joins me from Contact in the Desert for a fascinating conversation about a remarkable family connection to one of Australia’s most intriguing UFO cases. Rhys’s grandfather, a decorated RAF fighter pilot and later operations head of the vast Woomera Test Range in South Australia, reportedly witnessed a bright disc-shaped object during the era of Black Knight rocket testing. According to Rhys’s research, the object was seen over the range by multiple personnel, appeared to circle a missile site, and then accelerated away at extraordinary speed. The case has since led Rhys into a deeper investigation of his grandfather’s military background, including a reported early involvement with a secret U.S.-U.K. UFO inquiry. We also discuss Rhys’s mother’s personal experiences, the role of respected Australian researcher Bill Chalker, the strange history surrounding Woomera, and some of Australia’s most compelling cases. Later, Rhys gives an excellent overview of the 1966 Westall school UFO incident, including the witnesses, reported landings, unusual aircraft, alleged military response, and some lesser-known details surrounding the event. We also touch on Australian high strangeness, alleged abduction cases, cryptid reports including the Yowie, and why the UFO phenomenon may be far more complex than simply unexplained technology.
It often happens that reported UFO incidents get lost when the media is focused on one of more reports that might be more sensational. This seems to have been the situation in Italy in 1979. There had been a flap in Italy throughout 1978 and a 
Actor, writer, and technology innovator Sal Amato joins Martin Willis for a fascinating discussion on UFOs, disclosure, media influence, and the inspiration behind his upcoming novel, Hidden Powers: Disclosure From Within. Drawing from decades of interest in unexplained phenomena, technology, and human behavior, Sal shares his thoughts on historical UFO cases, the 1952 Washington, D.C. sightings, information control, and why curiosity is essential when exploring extraordinary claims. The conversation also explores how technology shapes public perception, the challenges of separating fact from fiction, and the themes of disclosure, power, and truth woven throughout his new book. An engaging discussion for anyone interested in UFOs, mysteries, and the bigger questions surrounding what we know—and what we may not know.

Simon discusses his own UFO sightings, a possible abduction memory recovered through hypnosis, and the recurring patterns he has found after interviewing hundreds of experiencers. Topics include consciousness, missing time, healing cases, family connections, and the mystery behind alien abduction reports.
While J. Allen Hynek was bringing the invisible college out into the open, he became involved with a documentary that has Rod Serling as its main host, along with Burgess Meredith, José Ferrer, and Vallée. The movie makes a compelling argument that UFOs should be taken seriously and includes appearances by former Blue Book heads Robert Friend and Hector Quintanilla.
Recorded at Contact in the Desert, Martin Willis sits down with explorer Dennis Åsberg, discoverer of the Baltic Sea Anomaly, and astronomer Dr. Beatriz Villarroel of the VASCO Project. Dennis discusses new developments surrounding the anomaly, repeated equipment failures during expeditions, and the discovery of the lost Russian submarine Som, while Dr. Villarroel shares her groundbreaking research into unexplained transient objects, vanishing stars, and evidence suggesting highly reflective objects in Earth orbit. Together they explore the intersection of ocean exploration, astronomy, UFOs, scientific inquiry, and some of the most intriguing mysteries of our time.

After the event, Martin was joined by Matt Ford of The Good Trouble Show, along with Krys Devine and Kelly Hughes, for an in-depth discussion of the key statements, potential implications, and what may come next in the ongoing disclosure effort.
Recently, there have been reports throughout the media that FBI files concerning a UFO sighting reported by three Anoka, Minnesota, police officers have been declassified and are available at the National Archives. Remarkably, almost none of the media outlets covering the story provide a link to the actual document with the exception one news outlet, KARE 11, which was kind enough to provide a
