Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Thursday, October 22, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

What happens when a UFO skeptic purchases property on a remote island in Patagonia, only to encounter something he cannot explain? Martin Willis welcomes Indy Pederson, author of *Sacrificing Humanity: The UFO Is a Portent of Nuclear War*, for a fascinating discussion about extraordinary close encounters, mysterious orbs, alleged UFO bases, government secrecy, and the potential connection between UAPs and nuclear weapons. Pederson recounts how local residents in southern Chile warned him that the island where he had purchased property was known for UFO activity. Initially dismissing their stories, he says his skepticism vanished following a terrifying nighttime encounter. While traveling with his business partner, Pederson claims a luminous, bowling-ball-sized orb maneuvered toward their vehicle, coming within approximately two feet of his window. Even more astonishing, he describes the object beginning to change shape, apparently taking on the form of a humanoid being. The conversation also explores Pederson’s allegations of government and military intelligence interference involving his island property, reports of unexplained cattle mutilations, possible underwater UFO activity, and his concerns about UAP encounters near nuclear missile installations. Drawing from his book and personal experiences, Pederson examines whether the UFO phenomenon represents something more significant than unexplained objects in our skies, and whether its reported interest in humanity’s nuclear capabilities could carry a warning about our future.

BIO: Indy Pederson is an entrepreneur and founder of five corporations, four of which hold his island project that was building a $60 million private island resort on an undeveloped national park the size of Maui in Patagonia, Chile, one of the safest locations on the entire planet in the event of nuclear war, that ironically turned out to be a “known UFO base.” Unlike whistleblowers who have signed NDAs and can’t say anything, he has had UFO encounters few have ever had and has come to shocking conclusions especially in regards to orbs being delivery vehicles for aliens and their taking over control of our nuclear missile command and control.
To research this book, he visited major players in nuclear war in 30 countries for over two-years of non-stop world travel including: walking into the KGB offices in Moscow and interviewing them; interviewing Colonel Yablonski, the head of the Nuclear START Agreement in Moscow; interviewing a lieutenant colonel and two generals inside Cheyenne Mountain; going deep underground in Missouri’s launch control center; interviewing Navy officials at Bangor sub base in Washington, and the nuclear Missileers at the nuclear LC (Launch Control site) at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming and Colorado. He also interviewed the Hopi Indian appointed prophet, Thomas Banyacya, in his home before he died.

Show 791 Notes: Jim Weiner & Charlie Foltz Allagash Abductions

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, October 13, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Fifty years after the legendary 1976 Allagash UFO encounter in northern Maine, original witnesses Charlie Foltz and Jim Weiner join Martin Willis for an extraordinary in-person interview on Podcast UFO. They revisit the mysterious glowing sphere that approached their canoe, the unexplained missing time, and their later recollections of encounters with strange beings aboard an unfamiliar craft. They also reflect on how the experience changed their lives, while Jim shares a remarkable near-death experience. Recorded following the Exeter UFO Festival, this compelling conversation explores one of America’s most intriguing and controversial alleged alien abduction cases, told firsthand by two of the men who lived it.

BIO: James “Jim” Weiner is an American artist, ceramicist, educator, and technology specialist with longstanding ties to the Massachusetts College of Art and Design in Boston. He holds an advanced degree in ceramics from Boston University’s Program in Artisanry and has taught ceramics at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the University of New Hampshire. At the time of his published International UFO Congress biography, Weiner was an assistant director in MassArt’s Technology Department, providing Macintosh computer support while continuing to assist students in ceramics. His digital artwork was included in the internationally exhibited From the Storm: Artists with Temporal-Lobe Epilepsy and featured in Newsweek and the Journal of the American Medical Association. Weiner and his identical twin brother, Jack, were two of the four witnesses involved in the 1976 Allagash encounter. Jim’s later experiences and recurring nightmares played a significant role in bringing the case to investigator Raymond Fowler’s attention in 1988. The investigation subsequently became the subject of Fowler’s 1993 book, The Allagash Abductions: Undeniable Evidence of Alien Intervention

BIO: Charles “Charlie” Foltz is an American artist, retired medical illustrator, and medical-media specialist who has lived and worked in the Boston area since 1974. A graduate of the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, he built a distinguished career producing medical illustrations and educational media for New England medical institutions and Veterans Affairs hospitals. A U.S. Navy veteran, Foltz attended art school using the GI Bill, studying printmaking and photography. Following retirement, he has continued pursuing photography, painting, sculpture, fishing, and community work. Foltz is best known in UFO research as one of the four witnesses to the alleged 1976 Allagash abduction in northern Maine. During the incident, he reportedly signaled a large, luminous object with a flashlight before a beam of light approached their canoe. Years later, he participated in the investigation conducted by Raymond Fowler and has continued speaking publicly about the experience.

Show 790 Notes: Anne Ramsey Cuvelier

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Thursday, October 06, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Martin Willis sits down with Anne Ramsey Cuvelier, who for years opened her historic Newport, Rhode Island mansion to an extraordinary circle of UFO experiencers, researchers and investigators. What began as informal gatherings became a rare safe place where people who said they had experienced UFO encounters and abductions could speak openly without fear of ridicule. Anne recalls gatherings attended by figures including Harvard psychiatrist Dr. John Mack, Budd Hopkins, Barbara Lamb, Peter Robbins, members of the Allagash abduction case, and others deeply involved in the UFO and experiencer community. She explains why she believed giving these individuals a place to talk privately and compare experiences was so important during an era when discussing alien abduction could bring intense ridicule. Now 92, Anne also shares remarkable memories from a lifetime surrounding the UFO mystery. She discusses her father’s comments about unidentified objects capable of hovering and accelerating at tremendous speed, his friendship with former Secretary of Defense James Forrestal, her controversial thoughts about Forrestal and President Kennedy, and her experiences investigating crop circles in England with John Mack and others. Anne even recounts spending a night inside a crop circle and photographing a mysterious man dressed in black standing nearby. The conversation also explores the Allagash case, changing public attitudes toward UFO experiencers, the stigma surrounding abduction reports, Anne’s memories of John Mack, Budd Hopkins and other pioneers, and why she believes the UFO subject is finally being taken more seriously. This is not simply a conversation about UFOs. It is the story of a woman who quietly provided a place where experiencers could come together, compare what had happened to them, and for once know that someone was willing to listen. Public reporting confirms that Anne’s historic waterfront home, the Sanford-Covell Villa Marina, became the site of these gatherings. The house dates to 1895 and remained in Anne’s family for generations before she sold it in 2022.

Show 789 Notes: Lue Elizondo

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, October 06, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

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.

BIO: Luis “Lue” Elizondo is a former U.S. Army counterintelligence special agent and senior Department of Defense intelligence official who became one of the most prominent figures in the modern UAP disclosure movement. While working at the Pentagon, Elizondo was involved with the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program, or AAWSAP, and the subsequent Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program, AATIP, which investigated unidentified aerial phenomena encountered by U.S. military personnel. His work included examination of military UAP cases and imagery, including incidents associated with the now-famous FLIR, GIMBAL and GOFAST videos. After leaving the Department of Defense in 2017, Elizondo publicly advocated for greater government transparency regarding UAP and helped bring renewed national attention to the subject. He later appeared in the History Channel series Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation and has testified before Congress about UAP, government secrecy and alleged programs associated with the phenomenon. He is also the author of the bestselling memoir Imminent: Inside the Pentagon’s Hunt for UFOs, which recounts his intelligence career and his involvement in the government’s investigation of UAP.

Did British special forces recover an unexplained craft in northern England? What did RAF aircrews reportedly encounter when ordered to intercept UFOs? Former British military intelligence officer and Parachute Regiment veteran Franc S. Milburn joins Martin Willis on Podcast UFO to discuss extraordinary accounts shared with him by fellow military veterans. These include an alleged late-1980s recovery operation involving a craft described by his source as “non-human,” and claims from RAF Tornado aircrews that they fired on disc-shaped objects that outmaneuvered their jets. We’ll explore how Milburn assesses these sources, what corroboration is available, and the questions these accounts raise about secrecy and alleged UFO retrieval programs. These are accounts relayed to Milburn, rather than events he personally witnessed; the UK Ministry of Defence told the Daily Mail it was unaware of salvage operations involving materials of unexplained origin. Our discussion will also cover the USS Nimitz encounter, Pentagon UAP investigations, and the potential strategic implications of reported advanced aerospace capabilities. Milburn is the author of the Begin-Sadat Center papers The Pentagon’s UAP Task Force and American Development of UAP Technology: A Fait Accompli?

What happens when the people trained to investigate the unexplained become the witnesses? Serving UK Police Inspector Roy Teague joins host Martin Willis to discuss UFO encounters reported by serving and retired police officers—including accounts involving missing time and alleged abduction experiences. A British Army veteran with more than 26 years in policing, Roy’s background includes armed response, tactical firearms command and protection duties for members of the Royal Family and Parliament. His investigations into UFOs and paranormal events have led him to interview more than 250 serving and retired officers, many sharing experiences they had previously kept private.His book, Close Encounters of the Police Kind, brings together previously unheard accounts from UK police witnesses. We’ll explore what officers reported, why some were reluctant to speak, and how Roy approaches extraordinary claims with an investigator’s attention to evidence.How are UFO incidents perceived, reported and investigated within UK policing? What can an officer’s training bring to an account—and what questions remain unanswered?

Insp Roy Teague Bio
Inspector Roy Teague served six years in the British Army, completing operational tours in both Northern Ireland and Bosnia before embarking on a distinguished policing career spanning more than twenty-six years across two police forces. Throughout his career, Roy has led a frontline existence working on emergency response, proactive teams and the elite Firearms Operations Unit of West Midlands Police as an Authorised Firearms Officer and both an operational and Tactical Firearms Commander, where calm judgement and decisive action are demanded in the most dangerous of circumstances. Many of these operations have led to the arrest of some of the country’s most dangerous armed criminals. He has also led protection details for some of the country’s most important figures including members of the Royal Family and Parliament. He has been awarded numerous commendations for bravery including one from a Chief Constable and another from a High Court Judge at the Old Bailey in his own attempted murder trial. His career has been built on evidence, discipline and an unwavering pursuit of the truth. Yet it is another skill that has taken him into territory few police officers have ever explored. A world just beyond our own – a place where mankind has no jurisdiction – where reality rides a razor thin seam between fact and impossibility – the world of UFOs, and the paranormal. In the perplexing field of unexplained studies, where hard evidence is often elusive, credibility remains the cornerstone of serious investigation. Roy’s reputation for professionalism and discretion enabled him to earn the trust of those trained to observe, question and report facts. That reputation opened the door to one of the most remarkable investigations of his career: interviewing more than 250 serving and retired police officers about their own encounters with unexplained aerial phenomena and paranormal events. Officers with nothing to gain and everything to lose finally broke their silence describing extraordinary close encounters involving missing time and alleged abduction experiences. The officers spoke because one of their own was asking the questions —and because they knew they would be treated with professionalism, respect and without ridicule. That research culminated in the publication of Close Encounters of the Police Kind, a unique investigation unlike any before it: law enforcement interviewing law enforcement about a phenomenon that has remained hidden behind the badge for decades. Blending the rigour of criminal investigation with first-hand testimony from experienced police officers, Roy offers readers a rare glimpse into a world where the unexplained collides with those sworn to uphold the law.

Show 781 Notes: Alex Dietrich

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, September 08, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

One of the most important interviews ever presented on Podcast UFO, host Martin Willis sits down with former U.S. Navy F/A-18 pilot Alex Dietrich for a candid discussion of the November 14, 2004 Tic Tac UFO encounter involving the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group. Dietrich describes how an otherwise routine training mission suddenly changed when her flight was redirected by the USS Princeton to investigate an unidentified contact. She recalls the disturbance in the ocean, the moment the white Tic Tac-shaped object entered her field of view and the confusion of watching it react to Commander David Fravor’s aircraft. “We weren’t supposed to be there,” Dietrich explains. “What the hell is this thing? Where did it come from? What is it doing? How is it doing that? Is it a threat?” Flying high cover during the encounter, Dietrich found herself fascinated and unnerved. The aircrew were unarmed, the object could not be identified and no one knew what it was capable of doing. Years later, after questioning whether they might have been unknowingly sent into a secret American test, she says she was repeatedly reassured that the object was not a U.S. system, that no submarine was operating in the area and that there was no evidence of American or allied activity responsible for what they witnessed. Dietrich also discusses the troubling absence of an immediate formal investigation. No specialized reporting system, debriefing procedure or UAP investigative infrastructure existed for the aircrews at the time. When she was eventually questioned at the Pentagon years later, details had already begun to fade. The conversation goes far beyond the mechanics of the encounter. Dietrich explains why she does not consider herself a whistleblower, how her identity became public after information from the case appeared online, why she resisted media attention and what finally persuaded her to appear on 60 Minutes. She speaks about the ridicule experienced by military witnesses, the need to examine extraordinary reports without automatically embracing or dismissing them and the importance of treating experiencers with dignity. Her position remains neutral: she does not claim to know what the Tic Tac was, but she believes unexplained objects in controlled military and civilian airspace deserve serious, scientifically responsible investigation. This is the story of the Tic Tac encounter from one of its principal eyewitnesses, told with honesty, humor and extraordinary clarity. ***VIDEO CLIPS PROVIDED BY DAVE BEATY

*** Correction: John Mack was a psychiatrist

BIO: Alex Dietrich is a retired U.S. Navy lieutenant commander who served for 20 years as a naval officer and F/A-18F Super Hornet strike fighter pilot. She completed two combat deployments supporting Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom and later served on the ground in Afghanistan as an infrastructure reconstruction engineer.

Dietrich is best known publicly as one of the four naval aviators who witnessed the now-famous Tic Tac UFO during a training mission with the USS Nimitz Carrier Strike Group on November 14, 2004. Flying as Commander David Fravor’s wingwoman, Dietrich maintained high cover while observing the smooth, white, wingless object maneuver above a disturbance in the Pacific Ocean before rapidly departing. She has since briefed officials at the Pentagon and Congress and appeared on 60 Minutes and other major news programs to discuss the encounter.

Following her operational career, Dietrich taught Naval Science at a consortium of Washington, D.C., universities and served as a military professor in Leadership, Ethics and Law at the U.S. Naval Academy. Her academic work has included critical thinking, leadership, ethics, resilience and change management. Despite the attention surrounding the Nimitz encounter, Dietrich remains deliberately neutral about the object’s origin and advocates for careful, evidence-based investigation without stigma or sensationalism.
