John and E.J. Craig, a husband-and-wife UFO research team based in Denver, discuss their new platform UFO-Track.com, designed to detect and report UAP activity in real time. Moving beyond traditional after-the-fact sightings, their system combines sensor technology and citizen participation to generate multi-witness, multi-camera events as they happen. We talk about their UFO-Sense hardware, triangulation methods, and the concept of “proactive disclosure,” empowering the public to take part in serious data collection. It’s a fascinating look at where UFO research may be heading next.

BIO: John Craig | Scientist, Engineer, Inventor, Author John approaches the UFO phenomenon with the skepticism of a scientist and the curiosity of A REAL LIFE EXPERIENCER. Having witnessed anomalous activity since childhood, John utilizes his skills in programming, electronics, and data analysis to build the necessary tools to measure the “metrics” of the unexplained. He is the mastermind behind UFO-Track’s Real-time alert system and the inventor of both the UFO-Sense detection device and the UFO-CQ CE5 communication unit.

BIO: EJ Craig | Mathematician, Publisher, Co-Founder. The daughter of an aerospace engineer, EJ grew up with her eyes on the stars. As a mathematician, she brings rigorous analytical precision to the project. She focuses on the patterns, the logic of the network, and the “ground truth” of observational astronomy. EJ turns raw data into actionable real-time alerts for UFO-Track’s member community. Along with her husband and UFO experiencer John, they represent a paradigm shift in UFOlogy. EJ is also an Experiencer of Paranormal Phenomena, including Angels and Ghosts.

What if the internet isn’t just a tool—but a hostile environment? In this fascinating conversation, co-host Dean Alioto and I speak with Bogna Konior about her new book The Dark Forest Theory of the Internet, published February 3rd. Drawing from Liu Cixin’s famous “Dark Forest Theory,” Konior reframes the internet as a kind of digital cosmos—one filled not just with people, but with unseen algorithms, artificial intelligence, and machine systems quietly shaping how we think and communicate. Is going online a form of “first contact”? Are we broadcasting too much in a space we don’t fully understand? And if the internet is being constantly monitored and interpreted by non-human intelligence, should we rethink how—and why—we communicate at all? This conversation explores the unsettling idea that deception may be safer than honesty online, and that silence might be the smartest strategy in an environment where we are never truly alone.

Astronomer Marc D’Antonio returns—and this conversation goes far beyond the standard model of the universe. What if the Big Bang isn’t the full story? Are dark matter and dark energy real, or placeholders for something we don’t yet understand? And could our entire concept of space-time be missing critical pieces? Marc and I explore alternative cosmological theories that challenge long-held assumptions in physics. We also connect these ideas to one of the biggest questions of all: if UFOs are real, how could they actually get here? Could advanced civilizations be using physics we haven’t discovered yet? Are there mechanisms that allow travel across vast distances, or even through space-time itself? This is a fascinating, open-ended discussion that invites you to think beyond the limits of mainstream science.

BIO: Jay Hammen is a school psychologist with a lifelong interest in UFOs, consciousness, and anomalous phenomena. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, and decades of interest in ufology, he has developed a conceptual framework he calls the Convergence Theory of the Consciousness Field, which explores the possibility that many paranormal and UFO experiences may represent different interpretations of interactions with a shared informational field of consciousness. Jay approaches the subject from a psychological and cross-cultural perspective, examining how altered states of consciousness, creativity, mystical experiences, and anomalous encounters might intersect. His work synthesizes ideas from researchers such as Jacques Vallée, Carl Jung, John Mack, Diana Pasulka, and Terence McKenna. Outside of his professional work in psychology, Jay is also a musician and songwriter. Martin Willis, Host Podcast UFO Est. 2011

Martin Willis welcomes Christopher Sharp of Liberation Times, and formerly the Daily Mail, for a wide-ranging conversation on UFO/UAP journalism, disclosure, secrecy, and why this subject is finally being taken seriously by more mainstream reporters. Because of the UK–U.S. time difference, this interview was pre-recorded, but the discussion is timely and deeply relevant to where the topic stands today. Christopher talks about how his interest in the phenomenon evolved, from childhood curiosity to serious investigative reporting, and explains why the post-2017 landscape changed everything for journalists and the public alike. He and Martin also explore the psychology behind why some people remain completely uninterested in the subject, while others become intensely engaged once they begin looking at the evidence. The conversation also dives into some of the biggest current issues in the field: alleged drone incursions, secrecy surrounding retrieval programs, possible reverse-engineering efforts, the role of the U.S. military and intelligence community, and why so much of the disclosure story appears centered in the United States. Christopher shares his perspective on recent reporting involving Patuxent River, James Clapper, Neal McCasland, and the broader push toward government transparency. This is an in-depth and thought-provoking interview about where the UFO/UAP topic may be heading next, what real disclosure could look like, and why bipartisan interest in Washington may matter more than ever. Visit Liberation Times for Christopher Sharp’s reporting, and be sure to subscribe to Podcast UFO for more interviews and discussions on the mystery.

SHOW 736 NOTES: Mike Fiorito

🔮 Martin Willis joined by UFO Jack talks with author Mike Fiorito about his groundbreaking new book The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music, a journey into the intersection of music, consciousness, mystery, and the unknown.

📘 About the Book:
In this reflective and imaginative work, Mike Fiorito explores how music acts as a portal to deeper understanding — not just as art, but as a medium that shapes perception, consciousness, and our sense of reality. The book weaves together ideas from sonic experimentation, mysticism, cultural history, and the UFO phenomenon, suggesting that sound may play a role in opening the mind to mystery.

🎶 Key Themes Covered in This Interview:
• How music functions as a “tuning mechanism” for the mind and consciousness.
• The role of experimental and electronic music in communicating beyond language.
• Insights into iconic thinkers like Sun Ra and how his concept of “tone science” connects to cosmic exploration.
• The connection between sound, imaginal experiences, and anomalous phenomena.
• Why music might open doors to inner worlds just as compelling as outer space itself.

📅 Publication Info:
The Innerspace of Outerspace: Exploring Other Worlds Through Music is available for pre-order now and will publish on April 11, 2026.

🛸 Whether you’re into music theory, consciousness studies, the UFO phenomenon, or creative cosmology, this conversation pushes the boundaries of how we think about sound — and the mysteries it can reveal.

BIO: Mike Fiorito is a freelance journalist and author. His books include UFO Symphonic-Journeys into Sound, For All We Know, Mescalito Riding His White Horse, Falling from Trees and Hallucinating Huxley. UFO Symphonic-Journeys
into Sound was named a Finalist in the Miscellaneous category for the 2025 National Indie Excellence Awards. Mescalito Riding His White Horse received the 2024 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite Award in Spirituality. Falling from Trees received the 2022 Independent Press Distinguished Favorite Award in Short Stories.

Show 735 Notes: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman

Simulcast on YouTube, Facebook & Twitter | Tuesday, February 24, 2025 @ 11:00 AM EST (-5GMT)

Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, creators of NBC’s Dark Skies, join Podcast UFO to discuss the strange real-life event that sparked their new investigative podcast, Sound, Light & Frequency. They share how their personal interest in UFOs began (including Bryce’s childhood discovery of the McMinnville “Trent Farm” photos, and Brent’s startling “aliens are real” disclosure from a Reagan-era family friend), plus Brent’s more recent UFO-style sighting during the Perseid meteor shower on Vancouver Island, tiny star-like lights moving erratically and seeming to drop into the ocean. The conversation turns to why witnesses stay silent, including stories Bryce heard from strangers after Dark Skies aired, schoolyard sightings with dozens of witnesses that never made the news, followed by families insisting: “don’t ever talk about it.” From there, Bryce and Brent explain the premise of Sound, Light & Frequency: an active investigation into whether Hollywood has been part of a long “chicken-and-egg” feedback loop with UFO culture, did filmmakers invent ideas that later entered ufology, or were real narratives quietly fed into film and TV? They preview their central claim: a mysterious “Man in Black”-type figure crashed their Dark Skies premiere party in the 1990s, claimed ties to the Office of Naval Intelligence, and allegedly offered a “deal” connected to a slow-drip disclosure program, truth inserted into fiction. They won’t fully reveal the details here (they insist listeners start with Episode 1), but they confirm follow-up meetings occurred and that the encounter never stopped haunting them. They also reveal how Dark Skies was sold with an elaborate “top secret” style series bible mapping a multi-season timeline, then the eerie twist: the exact “cover of fiction to tell truth” concept they pitched to networks later appeared to boomerang back on them in real life. The episode closes with their plan to examine iconic UFO films and series (Close Encounters, Contact, The Abyss, The X-Files, V, and more), vet tips from insiders, and look for patterns, without claiming they already have the answers.
