In this wide ranging, in person conversation, Martin Willis sits down with Lue Elizondo for a candid discussion about where the UAP issue stands today and what may come next. Elizondo reveals that he has returned to the Washington, D.C. area and says he is once again working for the U.S. government, supporting government efforts while continuing to advocate for greater transparency and disclosure surrounding UAP. Although he cannot discuss the specifics of his current role, he says he was asked to return and remains actively involved behind the scenes. The conversation explores why some UAP information remains classified, the challenges of disclosure, and whether the government itself actually understands the full scope of the phenomenon. Elizondo also discusses the secrecy restrictions he says prevent him from talking about alleged crash retrieval programs, including a document he signed that he says remains binding for life. Martin asks about the long discussed 23 minute UAP video, and Elizondo says he believes it will eventually be seen publicly, but adds that even more compelling footage exists, including imagery of objects reportedly coming extremely close to military aircraft. They also discuss recently released NASA material, unusual observations associated with the Moon, historical UAP performance characteristics, and Elizondo’s view that some of what has been observed cannot reasonably be attributed to secret American technology. Elizondo also responds to recent claims involving Ross Coulthart, saying information reported about him and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper was inaccurate, while making clear that he continues to respect Coulthart and his contributions to disclosure. The discussion goes deeper into the implications of UAP. What if humanity is not at the top of the technological hierarchy? How much of reality are our biological senses incapable of perceiving? And what happens to society when long held assumptions about our place in the universe begin to change? Finally, Martin gets a rare glimpse of the person behind the public figure as Elizondo discusses his fascination with time, restoring vintage mechanical watches, and why bringing an old timepiece back to life has such personal meaning for him. A candid and far reaching conversation with Lue Elizondo about UAP, secrecy, disclosure, government, science, the unknown, and the human side of one of the most recognizable figures in the modern UAP discussion. Hosted by Martin Willis, Podcast UFO.
Martin Willis welcomes analytical chemist and longtime paranormal researcher Matt Moniz for a fascinating discussion of the physical evidence surrounding UFO and abduction cases. Matt describes his laboratory examination of material from Betty Hill’s dress, including microscopy and chromatography comparing affected areas with control samples, and discusses other materials he has collected or studied from notable UFO cases. He explains the importance of provenance, contamination, metallurgy and isotope ratios when evaluating alleged UFO materials and discusses several classic cases he believes deserve further scientific investigation. The conversation then becomes deeply personal as Matt recounts his own claimed abduction experiences beginning in early childhood, including encounters he says continued throughout his life and an extraordinary later meeting with someone he remembered from one of those experiences. Martin and Matt also explore consciousness, ghosts, paranormal investigation and the difficult question of how science can approach phenomena that are unpredictable and difficult to reproduce.
Former British military intelligence officer Franc S. Milburn joins Martin Willis to discuss military accounts of an alleged UFO retrieval in northern England and RAF encounters, distinguishing what his sources told him from what he can verify. He also explores the Nimitz Tic Tac incident, his exchanges with Eric Davis, and his family’s reported experiences. Milburn then presents his case for Russian drone operations behind incidents at UK airbases and around the Baltic Sea, emphasizing the importance of separating conventional threats from unexplained UAP.

Martin Willis welcomes Navy veteran Jimmy Hernandez III and filmmaker David Beaty for a closer look at the 2004 USS Nimitz Tic Tac encounter. In his first live public interview, Jimmy recounts hearing Commander David Fravor’s startled radio communications while working in Primary Flight Control, witnessing men removing recordings, and signing a nondisclosure agreement. He explains why he remained silent for years, even with his wife. Beaty discusses his expanded documentary, The Nimitz Encounters, as the conversation explores conflicting witness accounts, missing data, radar spoofing theories, and the unanswered questions surrounding this remarkable UFO case.
Serving UK Police Inspector Roy Teague joins Martin Willis to discuss Close Encounters of the Police Kind and his interviews with more than 300 serving and retired officers about UFO and paranormal experiences. Roy shares accounts of a police helicopter crew watching a craft apparently disappear into a “hole in the sky,” an unusual RAF radar incident, and a black triangle encounter involving electrical failures and missing time. They explore alleged abductions, Roy’s investigative methods, and the professional stigma that can keep officers silent for decades.
In last week’s 
Guitarist Kevin Estrella joins Martin Willis to recount a 2014 UFO sighting over Hamilton, Ontario, and the ongoing encounters he believes have influenced his music as Pyramids on Mars. Kevin describes “musical downloads,” invisible visitors, and a melody he believes translates to “Do you hear me?” Martin asks about evidence and the purpose of these reported encounters, while audience questions explore telepathy, first-contact predictions, and humanity’s readiness for contact.
Longtime UFO researcher Norio Hayakawa joins Martin Willis to explore whether UFO encounters could involve something other than physical extraterrestrial spacecraft. From his father’s reported 1947 sighting in Japan to the Socorro encounter and the mysteries of Dulce, Norio shares the experiences and research behind his unconventional perspective. Topics include his “paraphysical” theory, government secrecy and disclosure, the Farmington sightings, Fátima, Project Gasbuggy, and cattle mutilations. Martin offers questions and pushback throughout a conversation that examines the distinction between witness reports, personal beliefs, and verifiable evidence.
British UFO researcher, author and publisher Philip Mantle joins Martin Willis to discuss UFO Reflections and more than four decades of investigation. Topics include Charles Forgus’s claimed Roswell testimony, the Alien Autopsy hoax, the reported 1980 Normanton UFO landing, and new witnesses and recordings connected to the Pascagoula encounter. Philip also reflects on his friendship with Calvin Parker, the importance of preserving forgotten testimony, and the growing challenge of AI-generated UFO misinformation.
Former U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot Alex Dietrich joins Martin Willis for a candid conversation about the November 14, 2004, Tic Tac UFO encounter off Southern California. Flying alongside Commander David Fravor, Dietrich witnessed an unidentified white object near an unusual disturbance in the ocean during a routine training mission with the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. Dietrich recounts what she saw, the uncertainty she felt, and what she learned years later about the USS Princeton’s unusual radar contacts before the encounter. She also reflects on the personal challenges of speaking publicly and why acknowledging what we don’t know matters. It’s a thoughtful firsthand account of one of the most widely discussed UFO encounters in modern history.
In 1969, just before the December 17th press 
Martin Willis interviews Dean Merchant live at the Rye Public Library for a fascinating discussion about UFOs in New Hampshire, including the legendary 1965 Incident at Exeter. The program features firsthand testimony from Mike Geanoulis who describes seeing a massive object with extremely bright red lights over the Exeter area, as well as retired Exeter police officer George Dufour, who served on the force at the time and personally knew officers Gene Bertrand and David Hunt. Dean also explores the Betty and Barney Hill case, Stratham Hill, Pawtuckaway, Raymond, Ossipee, the White Mountains, and other New Hampshire UFO hotspots, along with theories involving nuclear activity, geology, and decades of unexplained sightings across the Granite State.
Veteran UFO researcher Rich Hoffman joins Martin Willis to discuss his remarkable six-decade journey, from investigating sightings near Project Blue Book as a teenager to helping lead the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies. Rich examines the Tic Tac encounter, reported radar jamming, government transparency, private defense contractors and the limitations of UAP videos without adequate data. They also explore the New Jersey drone wave, AI-generated UFO footage, common misidentifications, near-death experiences and the possibility that science has only begun to understand the true nature of UAP and consciousness.
