  • Jeff Harman | Astrological Forecast 2025: Deciphering the Year Ahead | Preview
    Tonight on Veritas, we welcome you to 2025 and wish you a Happy New Year. The arrival of a new year is a powerful moment - a time to reflect on the past and consider what’s to come. And for the 17th time, we are joined by our trusted friend and cosmic guide, Jeff Harman. Jeff has become a cornerstone of our New Year tradition, helping us decode the mysteries of the universe and make sense of the forces shaping our lives. Tonight, he’s here to help us step into 2025 - a year that promises to be anything but ordinary.
    This year begins under extraordinary astrological alignments. Pluto, the planet of transformation and power, moves fully into Aquarius, bringing seismic shifts in technology, societal structures, and the way we connect as human beings. Saturn’s journey through Pisces challenges us to find balance between spirituality and discipline, asking us to redefine what truly matters. And with a series of eclipses in Aries and Libra, 2025 will force us to confront questions of leadership, fairness, and how we navigate change. The cosmos is speaking loudly this year, and its message is clear: evolve or be left behind.
    Against this celestial backdrop, the world is brimming with uncertainty. President Trump’s second term begins amid global polarization. The economy wavers between crisis and opportunity, leaving many wondering what’s next. Technology races ahead, reshaping how we live and raising questions about privacy, ethics, and control. And the skies are full of intrigue, with UFOs and extraterrestrial life continuing to capture headlines - could 2025 bring answers about humanity’s place in the universe? Jeff will guide us through it all, decoding the celestial roadmap of the year ahead. What lessons does the universe offer in 2025? How can we align with the energies of transformation to make this a year of breakthroughs?

  • Jim Sparks | The Keepers: An Alien Message for the Human Race [Encore] | Part 1 of 2
    In a powerful 2009 interview, Jim Sparks shared his extraordinary eighteen-year journey as an alien abductee. Sparks, whose experiences are detailed in his book The Keepers, revealed how he transitioned from resistance to cooperation over time. Initially reluctant to accept his abductions, he eventually shifted into a state of active participation, seeking to understand the nature of these encounters.
    Sparks' most significant experiences involved telepathic communications with two distinct types of Grays. The first group, which he referred to as "true" Grays, were biological beings. The second type, a shorter entity he called a "worker," was a hybrid—part biological, part robotic. Sparks claimed that human reproductive material was harvested by the Grays to create these worker entities. He also noted that the large, black eyes of the Grays served an intriguing purpose: they absorbed energy, much like solar panels. One of the critical messages imparted to him was the dire warning that humanity's environmental damage is slowly killing the Earth.
    In one of his most stunning revelations, Sparks recounted being allowed to observe an alien craft, which he described as the size of four large houses. Inside a windowed dome, he saw both humans and extraterrestrials interacting. He also reported encountering U.S. military personnel aboard the spacecraft, leading him to believe that covert black-budget government programs have struck deals with extraterrestrial beings. Furthermore, Sparks claimed to have had multiple encounters with "Reptilians" - tall, imposing beings, some up to 9-10 feet in height, with red pupils and disproportionately large brains housed in skulls that protruded over their eyes.

  • Stephen Bassett | We Are Not Alone: The Disclosure Imperative and Humanity's Moment of Truth | Part 1 of 2
    Tonight on Veritas...
    Our special guest is Stephen Bassett, the executive director of the Paradigm Research Group (PRG) and one of the most determined advocates for government transparency regarding extraterrestrial phenomena. Since founding PRG in 1996, Stephen has dedicated his life to breaking what is known as the "truth embargo" - the government's suppression of information concerning extraterrestrial engagement with humanity. He is an outspoken proponent of Disclosure, the formal acknowledgment by government leaders of extraterrestrial contact.
    Stephen has played a pivotal role in elevating the conversation surrounding UFOs, now known as UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena), USOs (Unidentified Submerged Objects), and extraterrestrial life - topics that have long been relegated to fringe discussions. In 2013, PRG organized the Citizen Hearing on Disclosure at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C., where former members of Congress heard from experts about the evidence supporting the extraterrestrial presence. His tireless advocacy extends into the political realm as well - through two significant initiatives launched in 2014 that sought to bring the extraterrestrial issue into Congressional hearings and to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential campaigns.
    As we face growing world media attention on the topic of UAPs, USOs, recent Congressional hearings, and a rising number of credible whistleblowers stepping forward, the question of extraterrestrial life has moved from the realm of conspiracy theories to a matter of serious public and governmental discussion. With these developments, we find ourselves asking: Are we on the verge of an official government statement declaring, "We are not alone"? Or is there a deeper, more complex truth hidden beneath the surface of these revelations?
    Tonight, Stephen and I will discuss the significance of these recent events, explore the role of governments and military organizations in shaping this narrative, and dive into the tantalizing possibility that extraterrestrial beings could be among us, both in the skies and beneath the waters.

  • David Icke | Silicon Gods and the Matrix of Power: AI, Perception Control, and Humanity's Awakening | Part 1 of 2
    Tonight on Veritas... the long-awaited return of a man who has sparked revolutions of thought, stirred fierce debate, and shattered the illusions we’re told to believe. In 2012, David Icke joined us for Imprisoned in Freedom, a conversation that exposed the invisible chains controlling our perception. Thirteen years later, he’s back, and the stakes have never been higher.
    With The Reveal: The Next Stage of Human Awareness, David delivers his most controversial insights yet, peeling back the layers of manipulation that govern our world. From the "mind prison" engineered to keep us locked in fear and division, to the Plasma Matrix—the energetic web that’s been hijacked to disconnect humanity from its true potential—he unpacks the systems designed to enslave us. He reveals the spiritual traps that have recycled human consciousness for millennia and exposes how power is maintained by keeping humanity blind to its infinite nature.
    But that’s not all. David Icke confronts the dystopian agendas being sold to us as progress and shines a light on the forces pulling the strings. This isn’t comfortable. It’s not for the faint of heart. But it is necessary. If you’ve ever felt there’s more to reality than what we’re told, tonight’s conversation will challenge, inspire, and awaken something within you.
    David Icke returns after 13 years, and we’re diving headfirst into The Reveal: The Next Stage of Human Awareness.

  • Clifford Stone | Eyes Only: In Memory of Clifford Stone - 2012 Video Interview | Part 1 of 2
    This interview with Sgt. Clifford Stone was filmed at the 2012 International UFO Congress. This section offers audio only. To watch the video of this interview, visit the TV section of this website. Additionally, after the cameras were off, Sgt. Stone shared some remarkable insights. We have included these outtakes, which are featured at the end of Segment 2 and can now be released following his passing.
    "My name is Sergeant First Class, U.S. Army, Clifford Stone. I held a secret clearance with nuclear surety. I was called in on special operations and participated in crash recovery missions. There were bodies involved. Some were alive. While we were doing this, we were telling the world there was nothing to it."
    It's extraordinary to hear from someone who actually worked with crashed UFOs and the extraterrestrial beings (ETs) found on board. Retired from the U.S. Army after 22 years, Sgt. Stone has been sharing his experiences since Dr. Steven Greer's 2001 National Press Club Disclosure Project conference. You’ve likely seen the footage on YouTube (over a billion views, Mel says). Stone is the one who famously stated that the government has cataloged at least 57 distinct ET species.
    Stone was trained as an ET first responder. He carried a field guide to various ET types and protocols for keeping them alive until medics arrived. In addition, he served as an interfacer, communicating with live extraterrestrial biological entities (EBEs) telepathically.
    Like many whose lives become intertwined with ET realities, Stone hinted that he may have been cultivated from a young age for these extraordinary assignments. He recounts one particularly strange "training mission" to “Florida,” where his team encountered Grays at what appeared to be a deliberately placed, yet shrapnel-damaged B-52, likely in the Cambodian jungle. Telepathically, one of the beings asked, "CLIF-FORD. WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?"
    Stone also shared details about a downed craft in Virginia, where he was called to interface with a frightened EBE. The being asked for help, warning that a significant problem loomed ahead. Stone successfully assisted in getting the ET safely back home.
    When Mel asked why we are seeing so many UFOs today, Stone replied, "I think they know something we don't, and that's the part that worries me."
    Stone has amassed over 500 million pages of documents supporting his claims that the U.S. government has been involved with ETs since the early 1940s, if not earlier. He continues to speak out and recently released a new book aimed at encouraging others to share their ET experiences.
    "Our visitors have rogue elements with access to advanced technology," Stone explained. "But with that said, if any of these rogue elements were to threaten us, others would come to our aid and neutralize that threat. That may be what’s happening out in space. Something is.
    "Someone needs to come forward and say, 'First of all, don't panic, but here are the facts.' That will be the start of disclosure. Otherwise, some event will occur that thousands of people will witness. Many will panic, and we’ll become our own worst enemies.
    "My message is one of enlightenment and hope for a new beginning and a brighter future. Yes, they’re here. They’re not hostile. They are spiritually and technologically advanced. They mean us no harm."
    The outtakes, included at the end of Segment 2, provide even more context and candid insights from Sgt. Stone, adding to the depth of his remarkable testimony. Don’t miss Mel’s 2009 interview with Sgt. Stone in the Veritas archives.
