Speaker 1: An investigator says, the US government has spent the last
Speaker 1: nine months quietly using the exact detection methods a private
Speaker 1: UAP research team built, doing it over a missile range
Speaker 1: in New Mexico, and doing it right under presidential authorization.
Speaker 1: That team, Skywatcher, went silent more than a year ago
Speaker 1: after promising the public a full data release, it never came.
Speaker 1: So today we're asking why that silence keeps happening in
Speaker 1: this space, and we have new materials straight from the Pentagon,
Speaker 1: including infrared footage of two objects of flight crew nicknamed
Speaker 1: cold ORBS. Hey you followgers, I'm Christina Gomez and this
Speaker 1: is your uf AWS update. Skywager went dark after field
Speaker 1: operation stopped last July. Investor Alex Klocus, engineer James Fowler,
Speaker 1: and military experiencer Jake Barber all stepped back from public updates.
Speaker 1: Ross Coltart says his sources describe a different reason for
Speaker 1: the silence than the group's own public statements.
Speaker 2: Take a look.
Speaker 3: Skywatcher pledged to keep the public updated about its activities,
Speaker 3: but it's a year on and there's been nothing new
Speaker 3: posted about what they've been up to, So what's really
Speaker 3: going on? This is quite a story. I understand there's
Speaker 3: been no Skywatcher field operations since July last year, and
Speaker 3: I've been trying to find out why, because more were
Speaker 3: meant to be happening. Multiple insiders have told me. By
Speaker 3: the time of that last July field operation, Skywatcher was
Speaker 3: actually working with and reporting to a number of government agencies.
Speaker 1: Skywatcher is not the first group in the space to
Speaker 1: promise a major release and then just go quiet. Ero,
Speaker 1: the Pentagon's own UAP office, has repeatedly promoted transparency while
Speaker 1: also limiting how much the public actually sees its Gremlin
Speaker 1: Censor Systems was announced back in twenty twenty four as
Speaker 1: a tool that would finally gather hard data on UAP
Speaker 1: activity near sensitive sites. Yet Arrow has held its briefings
Speaker 1: on the system as invite only events, and reporters have
Speaker 1: been turned away from basic questions about how the program
Speaker 1: is even staffed. That is a government office with a
Speaker 1: legal reporting requirement to Congress, and even that office restricts access.
Speaker 1: Private groups have followed a similar arc to the Stars Academy.
Speaker 1: The organization Luis Elizondo held Bild years ago, generated enormous
Speaker 1: attention with a promise of released evidence and never delivered
Speaker 1: anything close to what it initially suggested, eventually reconstructing away
Speaker 1: from its original public mission. So the question worth asking
Speaker 1: is not just what happened to Skywatcher, It is why
Speaker 1: groups and offices in this exact space keep making the
Speaker 1: same promises, generate the same wave of attention, and then
Speaker 1: quietly scaled back what they actually hand over. Is it funding,
Speaker 1: is it legal exposure? Is it government pressure? Well, you
Speaker 1: tell me which explanation you find most likely, because it
Speaker 1: is different for almost every single case. A former Skywatcher
Speaker 1: team member has given its own account of why the
Speaker 1: group operated the way it did on the American Alchemy
Speaker 1: podcast with Jesse Michaels, Jordan Joe Sachs says he worked
Speaker 1: with the group psionic side, meaning the human summoning method,
Speaker 1: separate from the group's mechanical dog whistle equipment. He says
Speaker 1: he joined after being introduced to Jake Barber by Ross
Speaker 1: back in twenty twenty four, and that he left the
Speaker 1: team last July, the same month Ross's sources say Skywatchers
Speaker 1: field operations ended. Now, Jordan claims that the two methods
Speaker 1: produced very different results. He says the mechanical dog whistle
Speaker 1: method got a response from something almost every time it
Speaker 1: was used, but that response often turned aggressive. He says.
Speaker 1: The human summoning method worked less often, but when it did,
Speaker 1: the encounters were much more calm.
Speaker 2: However, every time we did elicit or response, the phenomenon
Speaker 2: was highly benign, right, Like, it was very neutral. It
Speaker 2: wasn't angry. It was just kind of like floating through,
Speaker 2: checking out, maybe even exhibiting some like loving behavior, right,
Speaker 2: like actually investigating on the mechanistic dog whistle side of
Speaker 2: the things. Right, it's my understanding, like that was producing
Speaker 2: a result nearly one hundred percent of the time, but
Speaker 2: it would often produce a result that was aggressive, right,
Speaker 2: like as you saw in episode two, right like flying
Speaker 2: up to the trail or like getting highly aggressive probing
Speaker 2: our responses. Right. So like that kind of like points
Speaker 2: to me that what we put out is also what
Speaker 2: we're going to get back.
Speaker 3: It's like a mirror.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's so interesting, so highly supportive of again of
Speaker 2: like this is why the military should not be leading
Speaker 2: this conversation.
Speaker 1: Apparently, Skywatcher was already reporting to NASA, the Apartment of War,
Speaker 1: and the CIA by the time of its last field report.
Speaker 3: Did Skywatcher get shut down by the legacy gatekeepers. The truth,
Speaker 3: as best as I've been able to determine it in
Speaker 3: my research over the last few weeks, is quite shockingly different,
Speaker 3: and it puts a whole different context to the spin
Speaker 3: we're getting from the Department of Wars so called pursue releases.
Speaker 1: He says. An FAA restrictions filed over Skywatcher's old operation
Speaker 1: area last November and then just canceled it six days later,
Speaker 1: effectively ended any chance the group had of running its
Speaker 1: own tests again. That restriction was tied to the Pentagon's
Speaker 1: Joint Special Operations Command as well. Ross says the government
Speaker 1: did not just shut down Skywatcher's access. It picked up
Speaker 1: the same detection methods and then moved them to White
Speaker 1: Sands Missile Range, roughly two hundred meters from where Skywatcher
Speaker 1: had been operating and has been running its own covert
Speaker 1: program there since November. You likely remember the February airspace
Speaker 1: shutdown over El Paso, already confirmed by multiple outlets to
Speaker 1: have come from an uncoordinated anti drone laser test that
Speaker 1: hit a party balloon and not a cartel drone as
Speaker 1: first announced. Now I went into great detail on that here,
Speaker 1: and I will place that video link in the description
Speaker 1: box as well for you. But Ross stated something new
Speaker 1: that has not yet been addressed. He says, the same
Speaker 1: White Sands operation is the reason Congress never got a
Speaker 1: real answer after Senator Ted Cruz requested a classified briefing
Speaker 1: because the airspace questions all track back to the same
Speaker 1: covert program, not to the cartel story or the balloon
Speaker 1: story on their own.
Speaker 3: The United States government, in a joint operation with multiple
Speaker 3: intelligence and defense agencies, has using these airspace shutdowns, these
Speaker 3: TFRs to do its own UAP intercept operations. Yes, they
Speaker 3: have been summoning, detecting, and yes, shooting down what we
Speaker 3: some call drones others.
Speaker 1: UAPs rosas President Trump personally authorized this, separate from what
Speaker 1: he calls the legacy program tied to older crash retrieval claims,
Speaker 1: with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence also involved.
Speaker 1: He names a high powered microwave system as one weapon
Speaker 1: in use, a directed energy tool that disables aircraft electronics,
Speaker 1: and his sources also describe a civilian METAVAC aircraft brought
Speaker 1: down by accident during one of these operations. Imagine crash
Speaker 1: is actually con. On May fourteenth, a trans AAROMETAVAC beachcraft
Speaker 1: king Air struck the Captain Mountains near Rodoso, killing both
Speaker 1: pilots and two flight nurses. The NTSB's preliminary report names
Speaker 1: a different cause, gpsgmming during a routine Air Force exercise
Speaker 1: called Nevfest, not a directed energy weapon, so whether Ross's
Speaker 1: sources are describing the same event or a separate one
Speaker 1: hasn't been resolved or even confirmed publicly. Ross also says
Speaker 1: Jake Barber already gave closed door testimony to Congress, meaning
Speaker 1: lawmakers on key oversight committees may know more than what
Speaker 1: they've said. Whether that testimony becomes public is still unknown.
Speaker 1: In other news, the Department of War released its fifth
Speaker 1: batch of UAP files since May, confirming the process President
Speaker 1: Trump ordered back in February. The centerpiece is infrared footage
Speaker 1: from a US Special Operations Forces AC one to three
Speaker 1: zero J gunship flying over the Gulf of Oman, recorded
Speaker 1: on a crew member's personal cell phone pointed at the
Speaker 1: plane's infrared display. During a training exercise, the gunship dropped
Speaker 1: a water activated flare meant to serve as a mock target,
Speaker 1: and a crew member turned the infrared camera on the
Speaker 1: flare and instead picked up two separate objects, each roughly
Speaker 1: four feet across, hovering about twenty feet above it. The
Speaker 1: incident report calls them cold orbs, meaning the sensor detected
Speaker 1: no heat signatures from either one, which is unusual since
Speaker 1: most tracked objects show up as warm against a cool sky.
Speaker 1: When the planes cannon fired, both objects moved off rapidly,
Speaker 1: without climbing or dropping in altitude, and left the camera's
Speaker 1: field a view entirely within seconds. The report claims the
Speaker 1: way the two objects moved off together to how dolphins
Speaker 1: swim as pair, side by side and synchronized rather than scattered.
Speaker 1: The latest batch release also includes older material. One document
Speaker 1: dates back to nineteen fifty three and describes film from
Speaker 1: a year earlier following blue and white objects. The report
Speaker 1: calls quote of a construction and material not completely known
Speaker 1: a separate heavily redacted FBI report describes repeated sightings of
Speaker 1: lights and a triangular object during twenty twenty three and
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, with one pilot reporting eleven separate sightings.
Speaker 1: One pilot filmed one siding near Minneapolis on his phone,
Speaker 1: but that footage was not included. In this release. No
Speaker 1: new direct photographs came from this batch either, only artists
Speaker 1: renditions of incidents described in the reports. Pentagon spokesman Sean
Speaker 1: Perell says the department is already working on the next release,
Speaker 1: but we have to notice the pattern here. Even a
Speaker 1: confirmed release with a named aircraft and a real report
Speaker 1: still withholds the one piece of footage a witness actually
Speaker 1: filmed himself. Transparency has come in very careful pieces, never
Speaker 1: all at once, from a research group, from a government office,
Speaker 1: and now from the release too, between an unnamed source
Speaker 1: describing a program nobody in the government has confirmed, and
Speaker 1: a Pentagon document that still leaves out the most important
Speaker 1: piece of footage that a witness actually recorded. Which kind
Speaker 1: of incomplete story worries you more? Let me know in
Speaker 1: the comments. I'm Christina Gomez. That is it for today.
Speaker 1: I will see you again tomorrow at twelve PMPST for
Speaker 1: another uf phonies update. Be safe and remember keep your
Speaker 1: eyes on the skies.
