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.

BIO: Jimmy Hernandez III, 47, is a U.S. Navy veteran who served aboard USS Nimitz from July 2001 to June 2006. He and his wife, Jennifer M. Rogers Hernandez, have been married for 11 years. His commitment to following orders led him to keep his account of the Tic Tac incident private, even from his wife, until a few months before his interview for The Nimitz Encounters. Jimmy comes from a family with a history of military service. His maternal grandfather served as a machine gunner aboard a tracked landing vehicle in the Pacific during World War II, and his paternal grandfather served in the Korean War. He enlisted in the Navy in March 2001 and reported aboard Nimitz that July, shortly after the ship emerged from dry dock at Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. Following the September 11 attacks, the ship changed its homeport to Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, California. During his 
time aboard Nimitz, Jimmy completed two Western Pacific deployments and worked in Primary Flight Control directly under the Air Boss and Mini Boss. In 2006, he transferred to shore duty at Naval Outlying Landing Field San Nicolas Island. In 2008, he volunteered for an Individual Augmentee assignment and trained with the Army at Fort Bliss, Texas, before deploying to Iraq with Naval Provisional Detainee Battalion Ramadi 2. He conducted detainee operations briefly at Camp Bucca and later at Camp Taji. Jimmy completed his active duty service honorably after eight years, eleven months, and nineteen days and held an active Secret security clearance until 2013.
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.
