Interview: Bryan Bender is a senior national correspondent for Politico, where he has also served as the defense and space editor. He was one of the journalists who, in December 2017, broke the news regarding a secretive UFO program in the Pentagon. Since then, Bryan has broken stories regarding the Navy updating its UFO reporting procedures, and UFO briefings held for congress. He was also one of the first in mainstream journalism to write about the latest breaking news that the Senate Intelligence Committee is requesting for more information regarding what the military and other agencies know about UFOs.

In today’s episode: We talk to John Greenewald, founder of The Black Vault. For decades John has been using FOIA to get formerly classified documents from the government. Recently he received documents showing the correspondence between the DoD and alleged UFO whistleblower David Grusch. Grusch has claimed, including on the record during a congressional hearing, that DoD’s AARO UAP program has not reached out to him. New documents may show otherwise. We also cover the latest UFO/UAP News and look at a couple weird videos from the Enigma app.

We are back! Open Minds UFO Radio is now Open Minds UAP News. It has been a wild ride the last few years for those interested in UFOs, or UAP? In this episode, we will talk about the difference. We'll also talk about how we got to this place of stagnation when it comes to UAP research, the players (The Pentagon, Congress, NASA, and the UFO Community) and their current positions, and how we’ll be moving things forward...together.
