The movie Contact, starring Jodie Foster, features a memorable moment. While speaking with a group of students, Foster’s character—an astronomer searching for signs of extraterrestrial life—gazes up at the sky and says, “If it’s just us, it seems like an awful waste of space.” On this episode of WMD, we’re looking up—way up—into a mystery that has shifted from fringe theory to front-page news: Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena—what most of us once called UFOs. What happens when pilots, scientists, and even governments begin to acknowledge that we don’t always know what’s in our skies… or under our oceans? This week, Dr. Tamara Schwartz hands off the microphone to the YCP Tech Insight Club and their special guest, Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet, United States Navy (Ret), who visited York College on March 21, 2025. RADM Gallaudet shared accounts of unexplained encounters witnessed over the years and called for federal policy reform, as the national conversation evolves from conspiracy theory to serious inquiry.
