Documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir joins us this week for a candid and wide-ranging discussion about the current state of ufology. Known for his extensive work exploring the UFO phenomenon through film, Darcy is now expanding into podcasting while continuing his deep research into the subject.

In this episode, we dive into some of the more controversial and troubling aspects of the UFO community. Darcy shares insights from his years of investigating the field, including encounters with grifters, charlatans, and outright fabricators who have shaped the narrative around UFOs and UAP.

From high-profile personalities like Greer and Elizondo to questionable figures from the past, we examine how misinformation and personal agendas can muddy the waters for serious researchers.We also explore a growing concern in the community: the rise of cult-like thinking and quasi-religious ideologies surrounding the phenomenon. What happens when belief replaces investigation? And how does this impact legitimate research and the experiences of those who claim real encounters?Darcy’s new podcast is now available on Spotify and Apple Podcasts — be sure to check it out.

Hosts Katie Paige and Jason Guillemette welcome back Ben Jinkins and Joe Strelsky from the UFO Garage Podcast for a no-holds-barred conversation that dives straight into today's suspicious UAP topics.The discussion kicks off with the recent Presidential directive by P. D.Trump to identify and release government files related to UFOs, UAP, alien/extraterrestrial life, and connected matters—sparked by massive public demand. Is this genuine progress toward transparency, or could it serve as a clever distraction from other high-profile releases like the Epstein files? The group weighs in on the timing, implications, and whether this piecemeal approach is how the community truly wants disclosure to unfold—or if it's just more controlled narrative management.Ben and Joe share their exciting updates on the return of UFO Garage, which will soon begin dropping fresh biweekly episodes after a hiatus. They give a preview of their highly anticipated documentary on Eric Mitchell, an extraordinary experiencer whose encounters with orbs, ET contact, and subsequent harassment/surveillance have led to bizarre abilities and life-altering events. This film explores the deeply personal, human side of the phenomenon—far beyond mere proof of UFOs—making the intangible feel tangible and real. The documentary is set to release soon, so stay tuned!Honesty is the best policy, expect plenty of rabbit-hole explorations, bold questions, and unfiltered insights from the guests (& Hosts) into NHI, experiencer realities, government secrecy, and the future of UAP awareness. This one's a deep dive—bring a helmet, because things get wild! Are we finally getting real disclosure, or just another layer of the onion? Truth over fear—always.#Disclosure #Experiencer #NonHumanIntelligence

In a special episode of the UAP Studies Podcast, hosts welcome Travis Walton and filmmaker Jennifer Stein to commemorate the 50th anniversary of one of the most famous and well-documented UFO encounters in history—the Travis Walton incident of November 5, 1975. This episode dives into Walton’s extraordinary experience in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest near Snowflake, Arizona, where, as a 22-year-old forestry worker, he was allegedly struck by a beam of light from a UFO and taken aboard an extraterrestrial craft, missing for five days and six hours. Walton shares his firsthand account, describing the encounter not as an abduction but as a possible rescue mission, suggesting the beings may have saved his life after an accidental energy strike.Joined by Jennifer Stein, director of the award-winning documentary Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton, the discussion explores the making of the film, which combines new and archived interviews with Walton, his logging crew, law enforcement, polygraph examiners, and prominent UFO researchers like Stanton Friedman and Richard Dolan. Stein sheds light on the deliberate debunking efforts, including lies and extortion, that attempted to discredit Walton’s story and its impact on the lives of those involved.Upcoming event celebrating the 50th anniversary: a special screening of Travis: The True Story of Travis Walton on Saturday, November 8, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Arizona Historical Society Museum (1300 N. College Ave., Tempe, AZ 85288). The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Walton and Stein, providing attendees with an opportunity to engage directly. A special dinner will follow from 3:15 PM to 5:30 PM. For tickets and further details, visit PhoenixMUFON.com.#TravisWalton #UFOPodcast #UAPStudies

Hosts Katie Paige and Jason Guillemette welcome renowned UFO lawyer Daniel Sheehan (New Paradigm Institute) for a discussion on the complexities of achieving UAP disclosure in Washington, DC. Sheehan, with decades of experience navigating legal and political landscapes, breaks down the intricate layers of government bureaucracy and the challenges posed by a revolving door of representatives, many of whom lack foundational knowledge on the UAP issue due to their short tenures. 

He explains the steps and political alignments necessary to push for meaningful disclosure, shedding light on the obstacles within the Washington political system.

The conversation also delves into the influence of the military-industrial complex, examining whether its authority now overshadows the U.S. Constitution and its mandate for accountability. Structural and systemic hurdles facing UAP transparency can be fought by joining

This week, we are thrilled to welcome Alan Steinfeld, a pioneering explorer of consciousness and the editor of the ground-breaking book Making Contact: Preparing for the New Realities of Extraterrestrial Existence.

With over 30 years of experience hosting and producing the acclaimed New Realities television series and YouTube channel, Alan has become a leading voice in the fields of metaphysics, human potential, and extraterrestrial phenomena.

His work, which has garnered over 22 million views, features in-depth conversations with luminaries Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson, and top UFO researchers, offering profound insights into the nature of reality and our place in the cosmos.We examine the themes of Making Contact, a compelling anthology featuring essays from leading experts like Linda Moulton Howe, Whitley Strieber, Dr. John Mack, and Mary Rodwell.

Alan shares his perspective on how humanity can prepare for the monumental shift of extraterrestrial contact, emphasizing that true disclosure begins within. We explore the profound connection between UAP encounters and elevated consciousness, discussing how these experiences challenge our cognitive frameworks and invite us to expand into a "Mind at Large," as Aldous Huxley described.

From missing time phenomena—described vividly by Alan as a "film strip spliced with another scene"—to the concept of hybrid beings and multidimensional awareness, we uncover the deeper implications of ET contact for humanity’s evolution.Our conversation ventures to the surface of mainstream UAP discussions, addressing the philosophical and spiritual transformations required to meet "the cosmic others" on an equal footing. Alan explains how encounters with non-human intelligence could spark a global reset, dissolving outdated worldviews and fostering a more humane, interconnected existence. We also touch on the government’s recent acknowledgment of UAPs and why these revelations demand a new narrative—one that integrates inner exploration with outer discovery.Find Alan’s work athttps://www.youtube.com/@newrealitieshttps://newrealities.com/Make sure to grab your copy of Making Contact on Amazon https://www.amazon.com/Making-Contact-Preparing-Realities-Extraterrestrial/dp/1250773946
