BIO: Andy Marcial is a researcher of 20+ yrs who was forced down the rabbit hole after very personal and life changing close encounters. Andy’s entire life all he has done is try to understand what he’s seen and why he went through what he went through. It changed him and showed him that there is an entire reality out there beyond human comprehension. It also drove him to reach out to others like himself because of how psychologically damaging this can be. Andy also recently leaked 3 Department of Homeland Security videos to the public, which were controversial. He doesn’t do what he does for any other reason than to open the minds of anyone willing to listen and to show those affected by this phenomenon that they are not alone.

BIO: Krys Devine is a content creator, aspiring artist, author, public speaker, shapeshifter (reinvents herself as needed), dreamer – both figuratively and literally – and UFO Experiencer and Enthusiast. She is married to her soulmate of 32 years and has four amazing adult children, each with four beautiful partners. Having medically retired from a 33-year career in healthcare encompassing multiple front-line and leadership roles, she is a non-combat disabled veteran whose service began in the United States Navy as a Hospital Corpsman. Krys is currently pursuing her graduate degree in consciousness and transformative studies from the JFK School of Psychology at National University, having completed her bachelor’s degree in organizational leadership in 2012. A highlight of Krys’s UAP advocacy was her attendance at the inaugural UAP Congressional Hearing in July of 2023. Her brief curiosity about UAP in the summer of 2021 quickly transformed into a series of sightings of anomalies and various phenomena that she captured on film over two years while residing in San Diego. These experiences prompted a deep dive into the nature of the phenomenon, as well as involvement in the #ufotwitter community, fostering friendships and relationships with other experiencers. These ongoing ontological questions have spurred her to further explore the topic. As the co-host of the Elephant in the Room podcast on YouTube alongside her co-host, Ariel, Krys approaches the podcast as a student, refraining from claiming to have definitive answers. Instead, she shares her experiences and personal interpretations while learning from the diverse guests – experiencers, researchers, and thinkers – in the field, driven by a never-ending curiosity and a pursuit of more questions.
BIO: Ariel is a mother, writer, content creator, and former teacher. Her journey has been a multifaceted one, shaped by her diverse interests and experiences. With a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and Biblical studies, along with an endorsement in English as a second language, Ariel initially embarked upon a teaching career. After teaching for a short amount of time, Ariel got married, started a family, and transitioned into the role of a devoted stay-at-home mother to her two precious girls. However, her passion for teaching and learning never waned and over the years she has consistently found various ways to continue improving her writing skills and working with children in an educational setting. Ariel has been captivated by the enigma known as the UFO phenomenon for quite some time now. Her grandfather had an experience with a hovering metallic disk when he was a teenager, and he passed his curiosity about the unknown onto her. In 2020 she officially dove head first into the topic and has since become a beloved member of the UFO Twitter community after she garnered much attention when in 2022 Lue Elizondo shared an article she wrote. These days she is particularly interested in researching and understanding how world religions and society at large might react to and cope with the disclosure of the existence of non-human intelligence.
