Filmmaker and investigator James Fox joins Martin once again for an in-depth discussion of his latest release, Moment of Contact: New Revelations of Alien Encounters, which premiered this December. James is a longtime friend of the show and always brings thoughtful, firsthand insight into some of the most compelling UFO cases on record. In this wide-ranging conversation, we revisit the infamous 1996 Varginha, Brazil incident, often referred to as “Brazil’s Roswell,” and explore newly uncovered testimony that has emerged since the film’s release. As often happens after a major documentary airs, additional witnesses have come forward—adding layers of detail that continue to reshape our understanding of what may have occurred. James shares fresh updates from his recent travels to Brazil, including new witness accounts, hospital testimony, and disturbing details surrounding alleged creature encounters, military involvement, and medical examinations. We also discuss reports of unusual biological effects, conflicting official narratives, and why this case remains one of the most complex and controversial UFO incidents ever investigated. The conversation expands into broader themes as well—government secrecy, crash-retrieval programs, whistleblowers, and the long-standing question of where recovered craft and biological evidence might be kept. James also recounts his experience inside a classified government facility and what those encounters suggest about the current state of disclosure. Additionally, we touch on: Alleged military and intelligence involvement following the Varginha incident Witness intimidation and “men in suits” accounts Conflicting medical testimony and why some witnesses waited decades to speak The role of the U.S. government in international UFO recovery cases Why 2026–2027 continues to surface as a pivotal timeframe in UFO discussions This episode is pre-recorded due to scheduling, but presented unedited—bloopers and all.

BIO: For 30 years, James Fox traveled across the world in pursuit of the truth regarding UFOs. He directed and produced five films on the subject, “Out of the Blue, (2003); “I Know What I Saw” & Director’s Cut Edition, (2009); “The Phenomenon”, (2020) and “Moment of Contact”, (2022)“.

In 2007 orchestrated an event, with help from journalist Leslie Kean (Coalition for Freedom of Information), which to this day is hailed as the most credible civilian effort of disclosure on UFOs in history.
His last film The Phenomenon was a worldwide hit and became a hot news story event due to former minority senate leader, Harry Reid, who stated in Fox’s documentary that “Most of it (UFO evidence) hasn’t seen the light of day.” For his latest film, Moment of Contact, Fox goes where’s he’ never gone before in the phenomenon — reporting on recovered aliens. Taking place in Varginha Brazil in 1996, Fox uncovers new witnesses and reveals information on a cover up that has not seen the light on day for 30 years.

In this in-depth episode of Podcast UFO, host Martin Willis is joined by Len Filppu, a lifelong experiencer whose 1967 Brockport, New York UFO sighting became a pivotal moment that reshaped his understanding of reality, consciousness, and the unexplained. Len recounts witnessing a low-flying, fiery orange object, accompanied by a smaller white orb, moving silently across the sky—an event corroborated by multiple police officers and dozens of civilian witnesses across western New York. The sighting later inspired the animated short documentary Psychedelic in the Sky, which explores not only the event itself, but the deeper psychological and spiritual impact it had on those involved. Beyond the UFO encounter, Len discusses a series of profound anomalous experiences, including a verified poltergeist incident, altered states of consciousness, and how stigma and ridicule once silenced witnesses for decades. Together, Martin and Len examine how public perception of UFOs has evolved—from mockery in the 1960s to serious scientific and academic inquiry today.

This conversation also touches on:

The Brockport UFO case and related sightings

Police and civilian corroboration

Consciousness, synchronicity, and personal transformation

The role of stigma in suppressing UFO testimony

Parallels between UFO encounters and other anomalous phenomena

The episode concludes with the screening of “Psychedelic in the Sky,” an animated short film by filmmaker Matthew Salton.

If you’re interested in credible UFO cases, firsthand testimony, and the deeper implications of anomalous experiences, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.

 

BIO: Len Filppu is a writer-screenwriter whose UAP story is described, in part, in Diana Pasulka’s book, Encounters. He did a stint in television news, served as a press secretary to the successful 1976 Jimmy Carter Presidential Campaign and on Capitol Hill, and worked for decades as an executive for numerous Silicon Valley technology firms including SRI International, Software Publishing Corporation, and Sun Microsystems. A later-in-life father, Len wrote the book, PRIME TIME DADS: 45 Reasons to Embrace Midlife Fatherhood, and was a columnist for The Huffington Post. He helped make the horror film, Fear No Evil, and has written several feature screenplays and a documentary film about the depletion of the Earth’s ozone layer. Len lives with his wife in Northern California where they raised their two children. He is currently working on his metaphysical memoir.

Jimmy Carter’s famous UFO sighting from 1969 in Leary, Georgia, was likely a high-altitude barium-sodium cloud released from a secret U.S. military rocket test at Eglin Air Force Base, consistent with his description of a luminous, color-changing, non-solid orb seen by many witnesses. While Carter never definitively claimed extraterrestrial involvement, his report sparked his lifelong openness to UFO phenomena, leading him to pledge to release UFO info if elected and remain respectful of witness accounts, viewing them as unexplained, potentially experimental, military phenomena, not necessarily alien ships.

Retired law enforcement officers Dave Rich and Marianne Robb join host Martin Willis for a wide-ranging conversation on why first responders can be uniquely strong UAP/UFO witnesses—and why the professional fallout after reporting can be just as traumatic as the encounter itself. They break down how academy/scenario-based training shapes observation under stress, then pivot into major police-involved cases including the multi-agency “Lumberton” triangle flap (four nights of sightings across multiple counties), RCMP officer Jim Blackwood (flashlight interaction), Lonnie Zamora (Socorro), and Val Johnson (1979)—including the physical damage to his patrol car and the long-term consequences for witnesses who speak publicly. The discussion also highlights the mission of UAPD (UAP-PD): providing a confidential, “safe zone” for active and retired first responders to share UAP/paranormal/cryptid experiences without fear of ridicule or career impact. Dave recounts the 2017 incident that led to UAPD’s formation—an unexplained 911 call from an empty school, follow-up investigation steps (video, phone/line checks, audio analysis), and the pressure he faced afterward to stay silent. If you’re a first responder with an experience you’ve kept to yourself, you are not alone—and support exists.

BIO: Ryan Kralik is an author, researcher, and communications strategist whose work examines the foundations of physics, consciousness, and culture through an information-first lens. Drawing on principles from systems theory, quantum physics, and cognitive science, he explores how information behaves as the underlying architecture of reality—linking the physical, biological, and mental worlds into a single coherence-driven process. His forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness, presents a model in which matter, life, and awareness are emergent expressions of information organizing itself toward stability and meaning. A trained remote viewer and lifelong investigator of anomalies, Kralik approaches questions about UAPs, psi phenomena, and consciousness with the same analytical rigor he applies to communication and technology—seeking a unified, evidence-based understanding of how reality encodes experience.

BIO: Bill Chalker Intrigued by UFO reports since about 1966, when his home town of Grafton, in New South Wales (NSW), Australia, became the focus of UFO activity that attracted national headlines, Bill began undertaking deeper research and investigations from 1969, when his home region of northern NSW again became the focus of UFO reports. The 1969 publication of the notorious Condon Report, which concluded that there was nothing of scientific value in studying UFOs, had a different effect on Bill. Unlike most, he examined the massive report and realised there was a massive disconnection between the conclusions and the actual case studies. More than a third of their cases were unexplained. This set Bill on a deeper investigation of the UFO enigma. He joined the American based APRO (Aerial Phenomena Research Organisation) group, which confirmed his growing awareness of the global dimensions of the UFO mystery.
