Sheehan explains how past government investigations—like Project Sign, Grudge, and Blue Book—along with the Robertson Panel and Condon Report, were designed to downplay the UAP issue and discredit credible witnesses. He argues this pattern of narrative control continues today through organizations like the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office.
Drawing on his legal experience in major government secrecy cases, Sheehan describes how the same mechanisms used to hide covert operations are being applied to conceal UAP crash retrievals and reverse engineering programs. He advocates for legislation like the UAP Disclosure Act, which would create an independent review board to declassify records and ensure transparency.
The conversation also addresses the ethical implications of disinformation and the need to protect whistleblowers like David Grusch. Sheehan emphasizes that meaningful reform requires accountability, transparency, and constitutional oversight.

Pictures of UFOs have played a large part throughout the history of investigations into the mystery. The first organization to present them on a regular basis in its publication was the Aerial Phenomena Research Organization, which, in 1956, upgraded from using mimeograph and started printing the APRO Bulletin, enabling the reproduction of photos with a reasonable degree of quality. While some cases, such as the one involving a series of photos taken by Rex Heflin in Tustin, California in 1965, stirred up a great deal of enduring interest, others just came and went with little fanfare. An example of the latter is a case from 1977 involving six photos taken by a young boy in Indiana which was first reported in the March 20, 1977, Indianapolis Star. In the April 1977 APRO Bulletin, the photos were reported to have been examined by APRO’s staff and two consultants and “considered to be genuine.” Read more →
Martin Willis welcomes special co-host, filmmaker Dean Alioto, for an exclusive interview with Captain Ron (Janix)! Get the inside scoop on Contact in the Desert 2025 — one of the world’s premier events focused on UFOs, UAPs, and consciousness. Captain Ron shares what’s in store for this year’s event, including guest highlights, trending topics, and the growing momentum behind disclosure and human advancement.
Could our planet be under the quiet watch of an alien civilization that’s a million years ahead of us? In this fascinating conversation, economist and futurist Robin D. Hanson explores a bold and thought-provoking theory: that Earth might be subtly monitored by highly advanced extraterrestrials—perhaps as caretakers, silent observers, or participants in a vast, ancient experiment. Hanson, author of The Age of Em and co-originator of the “Great Filter” hypothesis, brings a unique interdisciplinary perspective, blending economics, evolutionary theory, and speculative futurism. We dive into the possibility that humanity may not be alone in its evolutionary journey—and that we might even share a distant, hidden past with these alien watchers.

BIO: Robin D. Hanson is associate professor of economics at George Mason University, and was research associate at the Future of Humanity Institute of Oxford University until that closed in 2024. He has a doctorate in social science from California Institute of Technology, master’s degrees in physics and philosophy from the University of Chicago, and nine years experience as a research programmer, at Lockheed and NASA.
Professor Hanson has 5981 citations, a citation h-index of 35, and over ninety academic publications, including in Algorithmica, Applied Optics, Astrophysical Journal, Communications of the ACM, Economics Letters, Economica, Econometrica, Economics of Governance, Foundations of Physics, IEEE Intelligent Systems, Information Systems Frontiers, Innovations, International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization, Journal of Evolution and Technology, Journal of Law Economics and Policy, Journal of Political Philosophy, Journal of Prediction Markets, Journal of Public Economics, Maximum Entropy and Bayesian Methods, Medical Hypotheses, Proceedings of the Royal Society, Public Choice, Science, Social Epistemology, Social Philosophy and Policy, and Theory and Decision.
Professor Hanson has pioneered prediction markets, also known as information markets and idea futures, since 1988. He was the first to write in detail about creating and subsidizing markets to gain better estimates on a wide variety of important topics. He was a principal architect of the first internal corporate markets, at Xanadu in 1990, of the first web markets, the Foresight Exchange since 1994, of DARPA’s Policy Analysis Market, from 2001 to 2003, and of IARPA’s combinatorial markets DAGGRE and SCICAST from 2010 to 2015. Professor Hanson developed new technologies for conditional, combinatorial, and intermediated trading, and studied insider trading, manipulation, and other foul play. He has written and spoken widely on the application of idea futures to business and policy, and has advised many ventures. He suggests “futarchy”, a form of governance based on prediction markets.
Robin has diverse research interests, with papers on spatial product competition, health incentive contracts, group insurance, product bans, evolutionary psychology and bioethics of health care, voter information incentives, incentives to fake expertise, Bayesian classification, agreeing to disagree, self-deception in disagreement, probability elicitation, wiretaps, image reconstruction, the history of science prizes, reversible computation, the origin of life, the survival of humanity, very long term economic growth, growth given machine intelligence, and interstellar colonization.
In 2006, a report of strange creatures being encountered on a farm in North Dakota was looked into by a MUFON investigator who considered the witness to be credible. It was first covered on local radio and then picked up by the Fargo, North Dakota, Forum. The case came to the attention of Patrick Gross, who maintained the UFO Related Entities Catalog up until 2019 it seems (the year of the last update on his website), thanks to a reader who wrote him an email saying he heard about the case on KFYR Radio on October 25 and 26, 2006. The case is detailed with as many sources as Gross was able find and was entered in the catalog.
The e-mail reads as follows:
I was looking for info on a report of 2 or 3 aliens on a hog farm near Bismarck ND in or near Tappen ND attempting to take a hog, man confronted the strange people reported to be 6 to 7 feet tall and woke up some time later with a hog gone and markings of a space ship…reported on KFYR radio 10/25 and 26,2006 also several sonic booms were heard in the area.
Gross provides a transcript of the article by Dave Olson in the October 27, 2006, Fargo, North Dakota, Forum headlined “Creature Sightings Stir Talk,” which can be found on page 3 of the December 2006 UFO Newsclipping Service. Read more →

📚 Drawing from years of dedicated research and his popular weekly blog series, Charles revisits the key figures—military officers, civilian researchers, scientists, and journalists—who sought to uncover the truth behind the flying saucer wave that gripped the world in the early Cold War era.
👽 From official investigations like Project Blue Book to independent efforts by civilian UFO groups, Charles offers fresh insights into how the UFO phenomenon was studied, debated, and documented during its formative years.
BIO: Charles Lear has been writing about UFOs for several years and still finds the subject, and the stories of the people involved, fascinating. Besides his interest in all things fortean, his pursuits include paleontology, geology, hiking, bad movies, and music. He has been a theatre person for most of his life. As a performer, he sticks to Shakespeare, and he makes his living as an I.A.T.S.E. Local One welder/carpenter in the construction shop of the Metropolitan Opera. His first saucer book was “The Flying Saucer Investigators,” second title, “Crashed Saucers and Malevolent Aliens.”and he’s just published his second, titled, “The Flying Saucer Investigators, Edition II”
The 1970s saw a shift in what sorts of UFO reports newspapers would print and what UFO researchers would consider worthy of investigation. John Keel wrote an article headlined “Never Mind the Saucer! Did You See the Guys Who Were Driving?” that was published in the February 1967 issue of True magazine. According to Brent Raynes on page 4 of his article, The Keelian Perspective, Keel recalled a visit to the office of the editor at True after the article came out: “He said he had something to show me. And he waved his hand towards the corner of his office and there were about six mail bags. He said, ‘This mail is for you, Keel.’” Raynes describes there being “thousands of letters, many from people claiming UFO abduction and contact experiences, including ‘memory lapses for long periods of time.’” As Keel, and then others, such as APRO founders Jim and Coral Lorenzen, became more and more open to cases involving UFO occupants, the report by Charles Hickson and Calvin Parker that they had been taken aboard a craft in Pascagoula, Mississippi, and examined by strange creatures, hit the papers in 1973. It was taken seriously, and after that, many more UFO and creature cases would be reported, investigated, and make headlines throughout that decade. Read more →

Many people who have more than a passing interest in the UFO subject might be aware that the scene in Steven Spielberg’s 1977 movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, where several UFOs go speeding by the main character’s stalled car, followed by police cars in hot pursuit, was based on a real case. This was the 1966 incident where police officers Dale Spaur and Wilbur “Barney” Neff reportedly chased a single UFO at high speed across the state of Ohio into Pennsylvania, with other officers joining them in the chase. However, another scene in the movie, where a house occupied by a mother and son is flooded with light from a UFO, was also inspired by a real case, but this one is not nearly so well known.
The front-page headline of the November 1963 APRO Bulletin is “Family Beseiged [sic] by Discs.” According to the article, on October 21, 1963, at his ranch near Tranca, Argentina, Antonio de Moreno was woken up by a fifteen-year-old employee who told him there seemed to have been an accident at the railway tracks about a half mile away from the house, as, in the reporter’s words, “there was a lot of light and people moving around at that location.” Read more →
