American Alchemy with Jesse Michels

Our American Alchemist this week is Robert Salas. We dive into the alarming connection between UFO sightings and nuclear security, particularly focusing on the Malmstrom Air Force Base incident in 1967. 

Robert Salas, a former missile launch officer, recounts his experiences during a night when multiple missiles went offline, coinciding with reports of UFOs in the area. The discussion also touches on the Wall Street Journal's attempts to discredit Salas's account, the broader implications of UFOs on national security, and the ongoing stigma surrounding military personnel who witness such phenomena. 

We conclude with reflections on the current global nuclear landscape and the potential for extraterrestrial intervention in human affairs.

Greg Bishop is the author of Project Beta: The Story of Paul Bennewitz, National Security, and the Creation of a Modern UFO Myth.

This conversation delves into the complex world of UFOs, focusing on Paul Bennewitz case. Bennewitz became embroiled in a web of disinformation and counterintelligence operations surrounding UFO phenomena. The discussion highlights the role of Kirtland Air Force Base in UFO lore, the psychological impacts of belief in UFOs, and the use of technology in research. It emphasizes the dangers of misinformation and the lasting legacy of Bennewitz's experiences in shaping UFO culture.

We discuss the implications of belief systems in understanding UFOs, the enigmatic figure of Richard Doty, and the social experiments surrounding UFO disclosure. The conversation also explores the scientific aspects of anti-gravity, the nature of information within the UFO community, and the challenges faced by whistleblowers. Ultimately, they reflect on the liminal space that UFOs occupy in society and the potential for future revelations.

This episode dives deep into one of the most unsettling and enigmatic figures in American history, James Forrestal, the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, whose descent into paranoia and suspicious death still sparks intense speculation. Was Forrestal silenced over what he knew?

I sat down with award-winning investigative journalist Ross Coulthart for a deep and personal conversation about the UFO phenomenon, secrecy, and the weight of uncovering truths long hidden from the public. This is not just a story about sightings. It is about power, disinformation, and the people behind the scenes who have seen more than they were ever meant to.

One of Ross’s most powerful revelations centers around Nat Kobitz, former head of science and technology development for the U.S. Navy. Before he passed, Nat confirmed that the United States had recovered multiple non-human craft. He described being brought to a deep underground facility, where he was shown a piece of a craft’s bulkhead. What stunned him was the engineering. As an expert in electron beam welding, Nat recognized that the materials had been bonded atom by atom using methods far beyond any known human capability. He made it clear to Ross, "This was not our technology."

We also explored the mystery of the Buga Sphere, the significance of the Kaikoura incident, and what Ross personally witnessed in Sedona. We discussed how mainstream media has failed to confront decades of government-led disinformation and how secrecy continues to dominate global efforts to suppress the truth about non-human intelligence. Ross opens up about the emotional toll of chasing these stories and why he sees it as a journalistic responsibility to follow the evidence wherever it leads.

This conversation is about the future of transparency, the growing public hunger for answers, and the awakening happening across generations. Stay until the end, where Ross shares the story of a buried craft too large to move and the bunker being built around it.

I reflect on my appearance on Joe Rogan while golfing with Young Jamie and Viktor Hovland. Their conversation dives deep into UFOs, ancient civilizations, and the secrets of the pyramids. They unpack the physics of anomalous objects, the shifting media narratives, and the hidden legacy of Harold Malmgren—all while questioning what Hollywood and black-budget R&D programs aren’t telling us.

The conversation delves into the complexities surrounding the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, exploring the recent release of declassified files, the involvement of the CIA, and the covert operations that led to the assassination. 

We discuss the confusion generated by the released documents, the historical context of the assassination, and the political machinations involving Nixon, the Mafia, and the Bay of Pigs invasion. We also touch on Kennedy's evolving policies, particularly regarding Cuba and nuclear disarmament, and the influence of figures like Mary Meyer on his transformation. 

This conversation delves into the intricate web of political maneuvering surrounding JFK's presidency, focusing on his vision for a joint US-Soviet space program, the challenges of nuclear disarmament, and the conspiracy theories surrounding his assassination. The discussion highlights the roles of key figures like Dulles and Oswald, the implications of the S-Force, and the potential connections to covert UFO programs, revealing a complex narrative of power, secrecy, and geopolitical strategy. 

Themes include the impact of fossil fuels on national security, the hidden treasures of the Philippines, and the intersection of UFOs with government operations. It explores the potential of telepathic communication with extraterrestrial beings and the Church of Scientology's involvement in UFO-related activities.

In this explosive conversation, James Fowler takes us deep into the inner workings of Skywatcher—a pioneering tech company claiming nearly 100% success detecting UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). With military-grade gear, cutting-edge AI, and a staggering track record, they’re documenting crafts the government won’t talk about—Tic Tacs, Manta Rays, even jellyfish-shaped anomalies in our skies.

Fowler breaks down the different classes of UAPs spotted during military war games, the classified physics that could explain their movement, and why the government is caught in a web of secrecy, control, and fear around disclosure.

We explore the involvement of psionic assets—humans with enhanced perception—and their shocking potential in initiating contact. The conversation pushes into the ethical implications of engaging with non-human intelligences and how private companies might be closer to first contact than we think.

This isn’t science fiction. This is happening now. Skywatcher isn’t just watching the skies—they’re pulling back the veil.

Is the Moon truly a natural satellite—or could it be an artificial construct placed with intent?

Is ancient Egypt hiding structures far older than mainstream archaeology admits? This episode with vigilante archaeologist Luke Caverns explores the mystery beneath the Giza Plateau, from long-rumored underground chambers to the origins of the Sphinx itself. Caverns argues that many ancient monuments—once thought to be tombs— may have served for more mysterious functions. From skull-elongated pharaohs and the forbidden Amarna revolution to the buried water tombs beneath the Sphinx and pyramids, this conversation unveils a hidden Egypt erased by the modern official history. It also reframes ancient Egypt not as a primitive past, but as the remnant of a forgotten epoch where god-kings ruled, advanced technology flourished, and history was written in stone before being buried in sand.
