Is the famous “Tic Tac” a home-grown technology? In this deep-dive, Martin Willis sits down with mathematician and technologist Joshua Bertrand to explore the cutting edge—and century-long history—of America’s lighter-than-air programs, vacuum-based aerogels, and the black-budget pathways that may intersect with the Nimitz Incident. Bertrand (B.Math, University of Waterloo; Computer Science honors; former EA/industry engineer) has spent nearly a decade cross-referencing open sources, defense programs, and material-science breakthroughs.

We cover:

Aerogel & laser-induced graphene: printing electronics into polyimide hulls; rigid “vacuum balloons”; station-keeping swarms; multi-medium propulsion via thermal pumping; stealth & low-drag profiles.

Nimitz (2004): training range context, multiple simultaneous objects, the speed “assumption,” and a test-range scenario including LASH (Littoral Airborne Sensor, Hyperspectral) tethered balloons launched from subs.

Project Walrus & cargo airships: how DARPA’s hybrid UL lighter-than-air efforts evolved into modern platforms—and why Congress lost oversight.

Materials & provenance: Kistler, Monsanto, Los Alamos; tektites; and a MUFON-handled Russian aerogel sample with intriguing lab notes.

We also discuss technology leakage, Five Eyes contractor pipelines, and why transparent congressional oversight matters.

BIO: Joshua Bertrand is a Canadian technology researcher. Joshua graduated with a Bachelor of Mathematics from the University of Waterloo in 2002. He spent 20 years working as a database storage expert for Reuters, Cisco Systems, Electronic Arts, and SAP Canada. In his retirement, he researches Aerogels, Lighter-than-Air technologies and their intersections with the UAP/UFO Phenomenon. He can be reached on X/Twitter at the account korea_ufo

SHOW NOTES: Australia’s Leading Ufologist Reveals Alien DNA Evidence | Bill Chalker

Simulcast on KGRA Digital Broadcasting, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter & Rumble | Tuesday, September 16, 2025 @ 9:00 PM EDT (-5GMT)

https://www.project1947.com

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. Read more

Show 689 Notes: David Schindele

Simulcast on KGRA Digital Broadcasting, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter & Rumble | Tuesday, August 19, 2025 @ 7:00 PM EDT (-5GMT)

COMPARE THE TWO SIMILAR EVENTS

📍 David Schindele’s Incident:
• Date: September 1966
• Location: Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota
• Missiles Affected: 10 Minuteman ICBMs at a Launch Control Center code-named “November Flight”
• Reported Effect: UFO sighted by topside personnel; missiles rendered unlaunchable with “guidance and control system malfunctions”
• Aftermath: No formal investigation or debriefing; witnesses were told to keep quiet

📍 Robert Salas’ Incident:
• Date: March 24, 1967
• Location: Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana
• Missiles Affected: 10 Minuteman missiles at Oscar Flight
• Reported Effect: Red-glowing UFO hovered near the gate; missiles shut down one by one
• Salas’ Role: He was on duty as Deputy Missile Combat Crew Commander when it happened
• Aftermath: Salas became a key public witness and advocate for disclosure

BIO: David Schindele, Captain in U.S. Air Force, Aerospace Engineer, Systems Analyst. A graduate from Washington State University, Captain Schindele served on active duty as a Missile Launch Control Officer and Crew Commander with the Atlas E ICBM weapon system at Fairchild AFB near Spokane Washington, and later the Minuteman 1 ICBM at Minot AFB near Minot, North Dakota. He also launched two Minot Minuteman missiles from Vandenberg AFB in California. After separation from the Air Force, Captain Schindele worked as a Senior Experimental Engineer and Project Manager in development of the Air Force Manned Orbiting Laboratory (MOL System) and he put finishing touches on Astronaut Back Packs worn by Apollo 11 Astronauts on the moon. He then spent 32 years as a Systems Analyst at a major company and worked part time as a Community College Instructor to finish out his working career. His involvement with a UFO incident happened at a Minot Minuteman Launch Control Center called “November Flight” in September 1966. It was there when he and a crewmate relieved a Launch Crew where 10 nuclear tipped ICBM missiles were taken “off alert” by a “flying object” that rendered them un-launchable. He first interviewed the eight people topside who viewed the object, and then the two officer crew members in the capsule below ground, who were required to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) when they returned to base. At that time, Captain Schindele and his crewmate inherited 10 un-launchable missiles that all indicated a “guidance and Control System Malfunction.” Nobody in this incident was ever questioned by the Air Force, and all were told to keep quiet with the statement, “as far as you are concerned, it never happened.” It is assumed, since nobody was ever questioned, that this kind of incident happened many times previously, and it likely still does. Captain Schindele held his secret for more than 40 years but then he wrote of his experience in a book titled, “It Never Happened,” which describes the incident he was involved with, and the very serious national security coverup instituted by the Air Force, which continues to this day.
