SHOW 766 NOTES: Tim Gallaudet

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, July 07, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Former Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet returns to Podcast UFO for an in-depth discussion of UAP, USO, ocean mysteries, government transparency, and the search for answers. Gallaudet clarifies his role on the newly formed UAP Science Advisory Council reporting to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, alongside Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. He discusses the council’s effort to obtain and analyze Pentagon UAP data, including reports involving possible anomalous objects detected by U.S. submarines. The conversation focuses heavily on undersea anomalies. Gallaudet describes reported encounters in which submarine crews detected objects moving at extraordinary speeds underwater, including one alleged sonar contact recorded at 80 knots. He explains why the oceans, much of which remain poorly explored, may be a logical place for elusive phenomena to operate beyond public observation. We also discuss metallic sphere reports, unreleased military video, the need for rigorous scientific study, artificial intelligence in UAP research, compartmentalization within government programs, and whether the public is finally moving closer to meaningful disclosure. Tim also talks about his new book, *Holding Fast in Heavy Seas*, a leadership memoir reflecting on his Navy career and his time leading NOAA through difficult political and scientific challenges. Could UAP represent advanced adversary technology, unknown engineering, or something genuinely non-human? Tim Gallaudet explains why either possibility deserves serious attention.

Martin Willis speaks with Brazilian UFO researcher Rony Vernet about his extraordinary fieldwork in the Amazon rainforest, where he has investigated reports of unusual aerial phenomena and encounters described by local and Indigenous residents. Rony discusses a recent mission in Brazil in which he deployed infrared cameras, sensors, satellite internet, communications equipment, and other monitoring tools in an effort to document events scientifically. He reports that multiple cameras and sensors captured an astonishing UAP-related incident, including the apparent shutdown of one camera. According to Rony, the data is being carefully analyzed in preparation for possible scientific papers, with the full material intended for public release. During his time in the Amazon, Rony says he personally witnessed several distinct types of phenomena: • Reported “poltergeist-like” activity, including unexplained sounds, flashing lamps, battery drainage, radio interference, frozen smartphones, and camera shutdowns • Low-flying orange lights and blinking spherical objects reportedly entering the forest • A steady orange-to-red sphere resembling a ball of fire • A luminous fog or aurora-like formation that reportedly became dense, formed a large three-dimensional shape, and was connected to a disturbing local incident • A luminous entity, recorded by multiple pieces of equipment, said to emit a humming sound, illuminate its surroundings, project an oval-shaped object near the ground, and silence the natural sounds of the forest before disappearing We also discuss accounts involving Indigenous communities in the Amazon and their reported encounters with UFOs and alleged non-human entities. Rony shares why he believes the Amazon may be one of the most important—and least understood—areas for serious UAP research. What is happening deep within the Amazon rainforest, and could carefully collected data help bring these accounts into a more scientific conversation?

Show 764 Notes: Joe Biscotto

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, June 30, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

Tonight on Podcast UFO, Martin Willis speaks with Joe Biscotto, creator of the rapidly growing UAP Reporting Center on X, which has attracted more than 60,000 followers and millions of monthly views covering UFO and UAP news, investigations, and analysis. Joe discusses his lifelong fascination with the unexplained, dating back to childhood interests in UFOs, Bigfoot, and other mysteries, along with late-night listening sessions to Art Bell on Coast to Coast AM that helped shape his passion for the subject. Before entering the UAP media world, Joe worked in law enforcement, an experience that continues to influence his investigative approach with an emphasis on credibility, integrity, and evidence-based reporting. We discuss the growth of UAP Reporting Center, the current state of UFO disclosure, investigative techniques, social media’s role in shaping the conversation, and the challenges of separating signal from noise in one of the most controversial topics today. Joe also talks about The Contact Report, his investigative UAP news website where witnesses can submit sightings for review and possible investigation. In addition, Joe shares details about hosting Beyond Top Secret on the UAP Reporting Center YouTube channel, covering major UFO events including Contact in the Desert, and his upcoming book currently being represented to publishers, which he says could make significant waves in the UFO community.

Topics include:
• UFO disclosure and current UAP developments
• Investigating witness reports
• Social media and the modern UFO conversation
• Historic vs. modern UFO cases
• Contact in the Desert coverage
• The future of UAP research and reporting

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.

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.

SHOW 762 NOTES: Sal Amato

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Thursday, June 18, 2026 @ 8:00 PM EDT (GMT-4)

This week on Podcast UFO, we welcome actor, writer, and technology innovator Sal Amato to discuss his upcoming novel, Hidden Powers: Disclosure From Within. What if the truth isn’t being hidden from us—but carefully managed? Drawing from decades of interest in technology, media, power structures, and the UFO phenomenon, Sal explores a provocative fictional narrative in which a secret decision made decades ago shaped the course of human history. The story examines themes of disclosure, information control, emerging technologies, media influence, and humanity’s response to extraordinary truths.

During this conversation, we discuss:

• The concept of “controlled truth” versus hidden truth
• Why people often reject information that challenges their worldview
• Reports and claims surrounding scientists, advanced technologies, and secrecy
• How these themes inspired the story behind Hidden Powers: Disclosure From Within
• The intersection of fiction, disclosure narratives, and public perception

The novel follows a world in which a hidden system of influence has shaped society for generations, and one insider risks everything to expose it. As long-buried secrets emerge, humanity must decide whether to unite in the face of revelation—or remain divided by the forces that have guided events from the shadows.

Whether you’re interested in UFOs, disclosure, technology, government secrecy, or speculative fiction inspired by real-world questions, this is a fascinating discussion you won’t want to miss.
