1
00:00:00.200 --> 00:00:03.560
<v Speaker 1>An investigator says, the US government has spent the last

2
00:00:03.680 --> 00:00:07.799
<v Speaker 1>nine months quietly using the exact detection methods a private

3
00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:11.720
<v Speaker 1>UAP research team built, doing it over a missile range

4
00:00:11.759 --> 00:00:16.000
<v Speaker 1>in New Mexico, and doing it right under presidential authorization.

5
00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:19.679
<v Speaker 1>That team, Skywatcher, went silent more than a year ago

6
00:00:19.879 --> 00:00:23.920
<v Speaker 1>after promising the public a full data release, it never came.

7
00:00:24.280 --> 00:00:27.359
<v Speaker 1>So today we're asking why that silence keeps happening in

8
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:30.879
<v Speaker 1>this space, and we have new materials straight from the Pentagon,

9
00:00:31.120 --> 00:00:34.960
<v Speaker 1>including infrared footage of two objects of flight crew nicknamed

10
00:00:35.159 --> 00:00:38.759
<v Speaker 1>cold ORBS. Hey you followgers, I'm Christina Gomez and this

11
00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:42.759
<v Speaker 1>is your uf AWS update. Skywager went dark after field

12
00:00:42.799 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>operation stopped last July. Investor Alex Klocus, engineer James Fowler,

13
00:00:47.960 --> 00:00:52.759
<v Speaker 1>and military experiencer Jake Barber all stepped back from public updates.

14
00:00:53.079 --> 00:00:56.479
<v Speaker 1>Ross Coltart says his sources describe a different reason for

15
00:00:56.560 --> 00:00:59.479
<v Speaker 1>the silence than the group's own public statements.

16
00:00:59.560 --> 00:00:59.960
<v Speaker 2>Take a look.

17
00:01:00.600 --> 00:01:05.560
<v Speaker 3>Skywatcher pledged to keep the public updated about its activities,

18
00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.719
<v Speaker 3>but it's a year on and there's been nothing new

19
00:01:08.959 --> 00:01:14.040
<v Speaker 3>posted about what they've been up to, So what's really

20
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:19.519
<v Speaker 3>going on? This is quite a story. I understand there's

21
00:01:19.560 --> 00:01:24.519
<v Speaker 3>been no Skywatcher field operations since July last year, and

22
00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.359
<v Speaker 3>I've been trying to find out why, because more were

23
00:01:28.799 --> 00:01:33.439
<v Speaker 3>meant to be happening. Multiple insiders have told me. By

24
00:01:33.480 --> 00:01:38.680
<v Speaker 3>the time of that last July field operation, Skywatcher was

25
00:01:38.719 --> 00:01:45.200
<v Speaker 3>actually working with and reporting to a number of government agencies.

26
00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:48.519
<v Speaker 1>Skywatcher is not the first group in the space to

27
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:52.000
<v Speaker 1>promise a major release and then just go quiet. Ero,

28
00:01:52.120 --> 00:01:57.000
<v Speaker 1>the Pentagon's own UAP office, has repeatedly promoted transparency while

29
00:01:57.040 --> 00:02:01.040
<v Speaker 1>also limiting how much the public actually sees its Gremlin

30
00:02:01.120 --> 00:02:04.439
<v Speaker 1>Censor Systems was announced back in twenty twenty four as

31
00:02:04.480 --> 00:02:07.480
<v Speaker 1>a tool that would finally gather hard data on UAP

32
00:02:07.640 --> 00:02:11.639
<v Speaker 1>activity near sensitive sites. Yet Arrow has held its briefings

33
00:02:11.680 --> 00:02:15.080
<v Speaker 1>on the system as invite only events, and reporters have

34
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:18.439
<v Speaker 1>been turned away from basic questions about how the program

35
00:02:18.479 --> 00:02:22.240
<v Speaker 1>is even staffed. That is a government office with a

36
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.400
<v Speaker 1>legal reporting requirement to Congress, and even that office restricts access.

37
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:31.360
<v Speaker 1>Private groups have followed a similar arc to the Stars Academy.

38
00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:35.560
<v Speaker 1>The organization Luis Elizondo held Bild years ago, generated enormous

39
00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:39.360
<v Speaker 1>attention with a promise of released evidence and never delivered

40
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:44.080
<v Speaker 1>anything close to what it initially suggested, eventually reconstructing away

41
00:02:44.120 --> 00:02:47.240
<v Speaker 1>from its original public mission. So the question worth asking

42
00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:50.479
<v Speaker 1>is not just what happened to Skywatcher, It is why

43
00:02:50.560 --> 00:02:54.400
<v Speaker 1>groups and offices in this exact space keep making the

44
00:02:54.439 --> 00:02:57.680
<v Speaker 1>same promises, generate the same wave of attention, and then

45
00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:02.120
<v Speaker 1>quietly scaled back what they actually hand over. Is it funding,

46
00:03:02.439 --> 00:03:06.159
<v Speaker 1>is it legal exposure? Is it government pressure? Well, you

47
00:03:06.240 --> 00:03:09.800
<v Speaker 1>tell me which explanation you find most likely, because it

48
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:13.719
<v Speaker 1>is different for almost every single case. A former Skywatcher

49
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:16.560
<v Speaker 1>team member has given its own account of why the

50
00:03:16.560 --> 00:03:20.000
<v Speaker 1>group operated the way it did on the American Alchemy

51
00:03:20.039 --> 00:03:23.719
<v Speaker 1>podcast with Jesse Michaels, Jordan Joe Sachs says he worked

52
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.639
<v Speaker 1>with the group psionic side, meaning the human summoning method,

53
00:03:27.800 --> 00:03:31.439
<v Speaker 1>separate from the group's mechanical dog whistle equipment. He says

54
00:03:31.479 --> 00:03:34.560
<v Speaker 1>he joined after being introduced to Jake Barber by Ross

55
00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:37.159
<v Speaker 1>back in twenty twenty four, and that he left the

56
00:03:37.240 --> 00:03:42.280
<v Speaker 1>team last July, the same month Ross's sources say Skywatchers

57
00:03:42.280 --> 00:03:47.080
<v Speaker 1>field operations ended. Now, Jordan claims that the two methods

58
00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>produced very different results. He says the mechanical dog whistle

59
00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.400
<v Speaker 1>method got a response from something almost every time it

60
00:03:54.520 --> 00:03:58.599
<v Speaker 1>was used, but that response often turned aggressive. He says.

61
00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:03.000
<v Speaker 1>The human summoning method worked less often, but when it did,

62
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:05.599
<v Speaker 1>the encounters were much more calm.

63
00:04:05.919 --> 00:04:10.719
<v Speaker 2>However, every time we did elicit or response, the phenomenon

64
00:04:10.759 --> 00:04:14.120
<v Speaker 2>was highly benign, right, Like, it was very neutral. It

65
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.000
<v Speaker 2>wasn't angry. It was just kind of like floating through,

66
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.360
<v Speaker 2>checking out, maybe even exhibiting some like loving behavior, right,

67
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:24.920
<v Speaker 2>like actually investigating on the mechanistic dog whistle side of

68
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:27.680
<v Speaker 2>the things. Right, it's my understanding, like that was producing

69
00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.959
<v Speaker 2>a result nearly one hundred percent of the time, but

70
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.000
<v Speaker 2>it would often produce a result that was aggressive, right,

71
00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:37.079
<v Speaker 2>like as you saw in episode two, right like flying

72
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:39.879
<v Speaker 2>up to the trail or like getting highly aggressive probing

73
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 2>our responses. Right. So like that kind of like points

74
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.560
<v Speaker 2>to me that what we put out is also what

75
00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:46.360
<v Speaker 2>we're going to get back.

76
00:04:46.600 --> 00:04:47.560
<v Speaker 3>It's like a mirror.

77
00:04:48.399 --> 00:04:51.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's so interesting, so highly supportive of again of

78
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.680
<v Speaker 2>like this is why the military should not be leading

79
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:54.399
<v Speaker 2>this conversation.

80
00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Apparently, Skywatcher was already reporting to NASA, the Apartment of War,

81
00:04:59.120 --> 00:05:02.720
<v Speaker 1>and the CIA by the time of its last field report.

82
00:05:03.360 --> 00:05:10.480
<v Speaker 3>Did Skywatcher get shut down by the legacy gatekeepers. The truth,

83
00:05:10.920 --> 00:05:13.680
<v Speaker 3>as best as I've been able to determine it in

84
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 3>my research over the last few weeks, is quite shockingly different,

85
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:23.040
<v Speaker 3>and it puts a whole different context to the spin

86
00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:28.560
<v Speaker 3>we're getting from the Department of Wars so called pursue releases.

87
00:05:28.920 --> 00:05:33.240
<v Speaker 1>He says. An FAA restrictions filed over Skywatcher's old operation

88
00:05:33.399 --> 00:05:36.959
<v Speaker 1>area last November and then just canceled it six days later,

89
00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.720
<v Speaker 1>effectively ended any chance the group had of running its

90
00:05:40.759 --> 00:05:44.439
<v Speaker 1>own tests again. That restriction was tied to the Pentagon's

91
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Joint Special Operations Command as well. Ross says the government

92
00:05:48.519 --> 00:05:52.240
<v Speaker 1>did not just shut down Skywatcher's access. It picked up

93
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.560
<v Speaker 1>the same detection methods and then moved them to White

94
00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:59.839
<v Speaker 1>Sands Missile Range, roughly two hundred meters from where Skywatcher

95
00:05:59.839 --> 00:06:03.079
<v Speaker 1>had been operating and has been running its own covert

96
00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:08.079
<v Speaker 1>program there since November. You likely remember the February airspace

97
00:06:08.079 --> 00:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>shutdown over El Paso, already confirmed by multiple outlets to

98
00:06:12.399 --> 00:06:16.160
<v Speaker 1>have come from an uncoordinated anti drone laser test that

99
00:06:16.319 --> 00:06:19.839
<v Speaker 1>hit a party balloon and not a cartel drone as

100
00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:23.920
<v Speaker 1>first announced. Now I went into great detail on that here,

101
00:06:24.000 --> 00:06:26.199
<v Speaker 1>and I will place that video link in the description

102
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.000
<v Speaker 1>box as well for you. But Ross stated something new

103
00:06:30.079 --> 00:06:33.199
<v Speaker 1>that has not yet been addressed. He says, the same

104
00:06:33.240 --> 00:06:36.959
<v Speaker 1>White Sands operation is the reason Congress never got a

105
00:06:37.000 --> 00:06:42.279
<v Speaker 1>real answer after Senator Ted Cruz requested a classified briefing

106
00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:46.279
<v Speaker 1>because the airspace questions all track back to the same

107
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:50.040
<v Speaker 1>covert program, not to the cartel story or the balloon

108
00:06:50.120 --> 00:06:51.480
<v Speaker 1>story on their own.

109
00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:56.800
<v Speaker 3>The United States government, in a joint operation with multiple

110
00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:03.519
<v Speaker 3>intelligence and defense agencies, has using these airspace shutdowns, these

111
00:07:03.600 --> 00:07:12.120
<v Speaker 3>TFRs to do its own UAP intercept operations. Yes, they

112
00:07:12.160 --> 00:07:20.199
<v Speaker 3>have been summoning, detecting, and yes, shooting down what we

113
00:07:20.759 --> 00:07:24.360
<v Speaker 3>some call drones others.

114
00:07:24.680 --> 00:07:30.439
<v Speaker 1>UAPs rosas President Trump personally authorized this, separate from what

115
00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:35.600
<v Speaker 1>he calls the legacy program tied to older crash retrieval claims,

116
00:07:35.800 --> 00:07:39.879
<v Speaker 1>with the Office of the Director of National Intelligence also involved.

117
00:07:40.040 --> 00:07:44.120
<v Speaker 1>He names a high powered microwave system as one weapon

118
00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:48.920
<v Speaker 1>in use, a directed energy tool that disables aircraft electronics,

119
00:07:49.199 --> 00:07:54.240
<v Speaker 1>and his sources also describe a civilian METAVAC aircraft brought

120
00:07:54.360 --> 00:07:59.079
<v Speaker 1>down by accident during one of these operations. Imagine crash

121
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:04.319
<v Speaker 1>is actually con. On May fourteenth, a trans AAROMETAVAC beachcraft

122
00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:08.560
<v Speaker 1>king Air struck the Captain Mountains near Rodoso, killing both

123
00:08:08.639 --> 00:08:13.839
<v Speaker 1>pilots and two flight nurses. The NTSB's preliminary report names

124
00:08:14.040 --> 00:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>a different cause, gpsgmming during a routine Air Force exercise

125
00:08:19.439 --> 00:08:24.279
<v Speaker 1>called Nevfest, not a directed energy weapon, so whether Ross's

126
00:08:24.279 --> 00:08:27.279
<v Speaker 1>sources are describing the same event or a separate one

127
00:08:27.639 --> 00:08:32.200
<v Speaker 1>hasn't been resolved or even confirmed publicly. Ross also says

128
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 1>Jake Barber already gave closed door testimony to Congress, meaning

129
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:41.720
<v Speaker 1>lawmakers on key oversight committees may know more than what

130
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:45.879
<v Speaker 1>they've said. Whether that testimony becomes public is still unknown.

131
00:08:46.120 --> 00:08:49.279
<v Speaker 1>In other news, the Department of War released its fifth

132
00:08:49.399 --> 00:08:53.440
<v Speaker 1>batch of UAP files since May, confirming the process President

133
00:08:53.440 --> 00:08:57.919
<v Speaker 1>Trump ordered back in February. The centerpiece is infrared footage

134
00:08:57.960 --> 00:09:01.559
<v Speaker 1>from a US Special Operations Forces AC one to three

135
00:09:01.720 --> 00:09:05.559
<v Speaker 1>zero J gunship flying over the Gulf of Oman, recorded

136
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:08.720
<v Speaker 1>on a crew member's personal cell phone pointed at the

137
00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:13.120
<v Speaker 1>plane's infrared display. During a training exercise, the gunship dropped

138
00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:17.360
<v Speaker 1>a water activated flare meant to serve as a mock target,

139
00:09:17.639 --> 00:09:20.279
<v Speaker 1>and a crew member turned the infrared camera on the

140
00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>flare and instead picked up two separate objects, each roughly

141
00:09:24.679 --> 00:09:28.639
<v Speaker 1>four feet across, hovering about twenty feet above it. The

142
00:09:28.679 --> 00:09:33.279
<v Speaker 1>incident report calls them cold orbs, meaning the sensor detected

143
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:37.440
<v Speaker 1>no heat signatures from either one, which is unusual since

144
00:09:37.639 --> 00:09:42.200
<v Speaker 1>most tracked objects show up as warm against a cool sky.

145
00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.919
<v Speaker 1>When the planes cannon fired, both objects moved off rapidly,

146
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.799
<v Speaker 1>without climbing or dropping in altitude, and left the camera's

147
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:55.440
<v Speaker 1>field a view entirely within seconds. The report claims the

148
00:09:55.440 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>way the two objects moved off together to how dolphins

149
00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:04.159
<v Speaker 1>swim as pair, side by side and synchronized rather than scattered.

150
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:08.679
<v Speaker 1>The latest batch release also includes older material. One document

151
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:12.240
<v Speaker 1>dates back to nineteen fifty three and describes film from

152
00:10:12.240 --> 00:10:15.840
<v Speaker 1>a year earlier following blue and white objects. The report

153
00:10:15.879 --> 00:10:20.399
<v Speaker 1>calls quote of a construction and material not completely known

154
00:10:20.799 --> 00:10:25.879
<v Speaker 1>a separate heavily redacted FBI report describes repeated sightings of

155
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:29.919
<v Speaker 1>lights and a triangular object during twenty twenty three and

156
00:10:29.960 --> 00:10:34.440
<v Speaker 1>twenty twenty four, with one pilot reporting eleven separate sightings.

157
00:10:34.720 --> 00:10:38.879
<v Speaker 1>One pilot filmed one siding near Minneapolis on his phone,

158
00:10:38.960 --> 00:10:42.679
<v Speaker 1>but that footage was not included. In this release. No

159
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 1>new direct photographs came from this batch either, only artists

160
00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:51.360
<v Speaker 1>renditions of incidents described in the reports. Pentagon spokesman Sean

161
00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.720
<v Speaker 1>Perell says the department is already working on the next release,

162
00:10:56.159 --> 00:10:59.039
<v Speaker 1>but we have to notice the pattern here. Even a

163
00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:03.600
<v Speaker 1>confirmed release with a named aircraft and a real report

164
00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:07.519
<v Speaker 1>still withholds the one piece of footage a witness actually

165
00:11:07.559 --> 00:11:12.320
<v Speaker 1>filmed himself. Transparency has come in very careful pieces, never

166
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.200
<v Speaker 1>all at once, from a research group, from a government office,

167
00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:20.720
<v Speaker 1>and now from the release too, between an unnamed source

168
00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:24.960
<v Speaker 1>describing a program nobody in the government has confirmed, and

169
00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:29.240
<v Speaker 1>a Pentagon document that still leaves out the most important

170
00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:33.720
<v Speaker 1>piece of footage that a witness actually recorded. Which kind

171
00:11:33.720 --> 00:11:37.279
<v Speaker 1>of incomplete story worries you more? Let me know in

172
00:11:37.320 --> 00:11:40.320
<v Speaker 1>the comments. I'm Christina Gomez. That is it for today.

173
00:11:40.519 --> 00:11:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I will see you again tomorrow at twelve PMPST for

174
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:47.200
<v Speaker 1>another uf phonies update. Be safe and remember keep your

175
00:11:47.200 --> 00:11:48.679
<v Speaker 1>eyes on the skies.
