@pavelibarrameda This should be Harloff's angle. He's got the pedigree.

Question, if there was a TMZ in Ufology, which person or organization would that be?

@Rizstanford Mmm floppy floppies. I actually saw and used an 8-inch floppy once that top loaded into an unknown machine and played Prince Of Persia. Middle school computer club.

I had one of these - Apple IIc- back in junior high/high school and my parents had it in their basement for the next 40 years!

@Kirsan__ Welcome to Hong Kong!

🛩️Just arrived in Hong Kong. 📸 Princess Anne greeted me with flowers🙏

@UAPGERB @RepEricBurlison @MITREcorp A book with a lot of connective tissue: More Than Curious by William H. Press. MITRE, JASON, In-Q-Tel and NNSA all on page 551.

I simply cannot stress enough how important it is @RepEricBurlison specifically mentions the @MITREcorp here in regards to private contractors holding the proverbial keys of UFO retrieval and exploitation programs. Founded in 1958/1959 as a spinoff from MIT Lincoln Labs, MITRE was initially formed as a military think tank that pushes the boundaries of "innovation from sea to space." Today, MITRE is a non-profit that operates several FFRDCs (Federally Funded Research and Development Centers) for US Government sponsors, specializing in defense & intelligence, aerospace & transportation, homeland security, etc. Important to note, MITRE receives around 99% of its funding from the US Government. Outside of MITRE's prized Independent Research and Development (IRAD) efforts to "respond to urgent challenges and anticipate the future for our government sponsors and the nation" and MITRE Labs that "inspires breakthroughs in applied science and advanced technology to transform the future of U.S. scientific and economic leadership", one of MITRE's FFRDCs of particular interest in regards to UFO legacy programs is the National Security Engineering Center (NSEC) sponsored by the Department of Defense. As a direct spinoff of @MITLL's Semi-Automatic Ground Environment (SAGE) air-defense radar system, for decades, NSEC has operated to deliver "research, engineering, and analytical solutions to the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community." I understand that NSEC, MITRE Labs, and other elements of MITRE are considered an "R&D ace" and an elite science and technology institution with unrivaled expertise operating across a swath of activities housed under several agencies/services within the US Intelligence Community and Armed Forces tasked with retrieval and exploitation of non-human intelligence technical vehicles. Specifically, MITRE works closely with the US Navy for tracking, monitoring, retrieval, and exploitation of UFO/USO within maritime environments. With how crucial MITRE is to USG-sponsored covert UFO recovery and exploitation efforts, it's always elft a bad taste in my mouth that beginning in 2025, disgraced ex @DoW_AARO director Sean Kirkpatrick and his company "Nonlinear Solutions LLC" were awarded contracts to subcontract under MITRE for USSPACECOM (IDC W56KGU18D0004). If this were a one-off, it wouldn't be a big deal, but remember following AARO, Dr. Kirkpatrick also fled to @ORNL, a DOE/NNSA FFRDC National Lab, as cTO for Defense and Intelligence Programs!

You can get some graceful perspective on @JeremyCorbell in 18 seconds during Sleeping Dog. I think this clipped scene captures stakes that he might not have understood right before this point--like most of us--but which sunk into his DNA afterwards. 🙏❤️‍🩹 Go see the rest.

@pavelibarrameda Well said, Pavel. Sharing in wishing her and her family the best.

I wish Tulsi Gabbard nothing but the best during this highly challenging time for her family. It appears she is ready to tell everything she knows by June 30th about everything her office investigated while she has been there. I certainly hope Tulsi releases the UFO investigations that came out of the DIG. That's where the main issue seems to be. Also, Aaron Lukas has a lifelong career in the CIA, and most of his work remains classified. He is the one stepping in as acting DNI. I saw @ChrisUKSharp reporting on him earlier this month and expressing an ambivalent take on Lukas. All eyes are on him right now amid the current UFO Files release. No pressure, I guess...

@BobMcGwier_N4HY Amazing range! You and Danny covered a ton while staying intimate and inquisitive through out. Really appreciated this one. Thank you Bob.

Here is the Danny Jones interview I had fun doing youtu.be/faMt1TEzh8Q?si…

@AlchemyAmerican Excellent work! A correction on patents: THEY DO GET FILED. Before they go public Secrecy Orders are applied. Rights holders are paid by the Gov in the black, when the SOs are removed the rights holders can collect normal royalties. Tracks why @Halsrethink was at Commerce, huh?

🚨BREAKING🚨: Former Tier 1 UFO Crash Retrieval Operator hides the truth about UFOs in Science “Fiction” novel and the Pentagon tried to censor it with 7 pages of redactions. The book posits that deep black American aerospace has been systematically using “psionic” operators to mentally attract and fly UFOs: they recruit refugees, often indigenous and from the third world countries, implant them with tracking chips, get them into heightened states of consciousness (aided by specific medications and protocols) and use them to attract UFOs. They then use these “psionic operators” to fly UFOs using electrical-signal based biofeedback from their minds. The UFO crash-retrieval contractor and now whistleblower Jake Barber (@jakebarber2025) encoded these dark truths in this novel: The Sentinels of Ether. This book provoked review from special access program subject matter experts with 7 pages of Pentagon redactions in just its first 20 pages. Barber flew helicopter recoveries for an unnamed aerospace giant that many claim to be Northrop Grumman. Barber’s story is corroborated not only by multiple colleagues who flew missions with him but by Marine Michael Herrera (@Traveler03Truth) who described the same thing from the other side of the planet: a 2009 “humanitarian” mission in Indonesia, a 300-foot octagonal craft, men with no insignia, handheld bioscanners, and shipping containers with HVAC units bolted to the roof carrying human cargo. Those are the exact climate-controlled containers Barber says his program used. One operation, two continents, one in testimony in Washington D.C. and one in fiction. Former Congressman Matt Gaetz (@mattgaetz) received a similar briefing: “The briefing I got made these allegations about how the humans for this program were harvested.” He goes on to mention natural disasters, unaccompanied minors and swaths of humans in South America coming across the border along with the Ukraine war. Disaster zones where psionic assets get taken. The secret the Pentagon is protecting isn't a craft in a hangar. It's that the antenna is you. And that antenna has been systematically exploited in deep black programs around the world. The Pentagon Reviewed 20 Pages and Blacked Out Seven: Barber submitted his manuscript to DOPSR, the Defense Department's pre-publication review, in 20-page increments. The first round took six months and escalated to subject matter experts in classified special access programs, then came back with seven pages of redactions. That was 10 percent of a 120,000-word novel. Barber used the redactions backwards as a discovery tool, drip-feeding chapters to see which lines made the Pentagon flinch. They Clear the Sky, Then Bring the Craft Down: According to leaks made to Michael Herrera by an insider believed to be Barber, the programs used temporary flight restrictions to empty the airspace, lured craft in with a beacon, and dropped them with electromagnetic pulse weaponry. EMP delivers the electromagnetic fallout of a nuclear blast without the explosion, enough to kill flight controls and electronics in an instant. The downed craft were then transported out for reverse engineering. This is the mechanical spine of the entire retrieval operation. Civilian Planes That Wandered In Were Downed Too:  That same insider, later identified as Barber, claimed these restricted-airspace operations brought down civilian aircraft that entered the wrong sky, with the bodies and wreckage disposed of. If even a fraction of that sat on the missing Panasonic Toughbooks his teams were sent to recover, those drives were a catastrophic liability. That is why, he says, the employer wanted both the evidence and him destroyed. The Craft Will Not Fly for an Ordinary Pilot: The central claim is that recovered craft cannot be flown by buttons or joysticks. They respond to consciousness, and a pilot without psychic ability gets the silent treatment. So the program wires a psychically gifted person into a brain-machine interface, and a conventional pilot routes his commands through that person's mind into the craft. The human becomes the navigation system. The Program Recruits Psychics in Poor Countries: Barber describes prospecting for what he calls P3s, psionic predisposition potential, often people from the third world who live simpler lives with fewer contaminants and stronger intuition. Refugees, disaster victims, and the displaced are ideal because no one questions when they vanish, and a natural disaster, a border crossing, or a war provides cover. In leaks Herrera passed to researcher JoeyIsNotMyName in 2023, these people are chipped, heavily drugged, and often die or slip into comas after years of use. A Marine Saw the Same Craft in Indonesia in 2009: Michael Herrera of the 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines was flown into the jungle on a 2009 humanitarian mission with no comms and no civilians. His six-man team encountered a 300-foot octagonal craft, so dark he compared it to dark matter, hovering above the canopy. An eight-man paramilitary force with no insignia disarmed them, scanned them with a bioscanner, and threatened to kill them if they talked. Herrera gave this account publicly at Steven Greer's (@DrStevenGreer) 2023 National Press Club event. The HVAC Shipping Containers Gave It Away: Herrera saw trucks roll up with shipping containers that had HVAC units mounted on top, and assumed they were moving drugs. Barber knew better the moment he heard it, because those climate-controlled containers match the workstations his program used in the field. They were not hauling drugs. They were hauling people, including children, the same human cargo that appears in Barber's manuscript slung beneath a helicopter in the Mexican desert. A Lockheed Neuro-engineer and a Strange Motel Death: In 1999 Lockheed Martin neuroengineer John Norseen, funded by NASA and DARPA, published work on biofusion, a system that could be used to convert a pilot's thoughts directly into aircraft commands with no joystick. He talked about mapping a brain print for every intent and feeding states back into the mind. Shortly before a lecture at the Naval War College he emailed colleagues a cryptic sign-off, “John not heard nor seen,” and two weeks later was found dead in a motel room. The work did not die with him. The Patents and DARPA Programs Line Up Too Well: Lockheed engineers Charles Chase and Gerald Jonas later patented a closed-loop system that reads brainwaves and nudges them toward a target state with light, sound, and electromagnetic pulses. In 2018 DARPA launched N3, openly funding non-surgical brain-machine interfaces for controlling unmanned aircraft, and Battelle, a name all over UFO retrieval lore, advanced to phase two with an injectable nanoscale system called BrainSTORMS. Separately, the Navy's 2016 Salvatore Pais patent describes a craft that manipulates electromagnetic fields and would likely need something faster than a keyboard to control it. Every layer of Barber's story already sits in white papers, patents, and evening seemingly mundane “weather contracts.” A Mountain in Mexico That Craft Pass Through: The manuscript climaxes near Coyame, Mexico, sometimes called Mexico's Roswell, where helicopters carrying human cargo fly straight at a 1,500-foot mountain. At first, the rock appears almost holographic,   pixelating from 3D to nothing as they slip through. But my best guess isn’t that it’s a hologram, but utility fog: theoretical programmable matter made of trillions of microscopic robots that can fake solid stone and jam electronics. Ross Coulthart (@rosscoulthart), and Robert Bigelow both described craft entering mountains, while remote viewers Pat Price and Joe McMoneagle described  hidden bases inside them– some reportedly built by us. Why It Holds Up: Strip away the strangeness and you are left with two trained operators, Barber and Herrera, describing the same operation from two continents, plus a documented R&D trail running through Lockheed, DARPA, the Navy, and Battelle that matches the technology they describe. The Pentagon's own redaction process is doing the authenticating. The real thesis isn't that they're hiding craft. It's that the receiver has always been human neurology, and the program spent 70 years making sure we never figured that out. Full episode is live now.

@DanCleary79 "We love to see you call" *You too Grandma!*

This looks like when you’re trying to FaceTime with your grandparents.

@pavelibarrameda Phil Corso is wearing the same shirt as in these videos: dailymotion.com/video/xibb6s so the voices off-camera asking him questions are @g_knapp, Hal Puthoff and John Alexander.

Quite the intriguing find here. Dr. Ed Teller, the father of the hydrogen bomb sitting with Dr. John Alexander and Dr. Hal Puthoff. 😯

@ParaN_rmal October 1, 1990 issue of Aviation Week & Space Technology.

Letter from the Department of the Air Force, Office of The Secretary (Maj. Thomas Shively) regarding the Belgium UFO Wave, Aviation Week and Space Technology publishing an article about Edwards Air Base, BOB LAZAR & Nellis AFB, and BILL COOPER (1990)

@FLE7CHLIVES Guess who was meeting up with Condon in March 1950 to help launch the new NBS in Colorado? Dr. Donald Menzel: “It must have been in 1930 that I first became associated with the Bureau [of Standards] because I knew Ed Condon very well.”

Guess who the director of the NBS was in April 1949? Edward U. Condon.

The Condon Committee was a rort—and now we have proof. This unassuming document from Hillenkoetter to Dennison is the key 👇

The National Security Agency has UAP records in highly classified intelligence channels. Disclosure Foundation obtained hundreds of pages after challenging the agency’s initial denial under FOIA. The production includes radar tracking reports, visual sightings, and intelligence reporting involving unidentified objects. Many records were previously classified TOP SECRET UMBRA. TOP SECRET is the highest baseline classification level in the U.S. government, and UMBRA is historically associated with highly sensitive signals intelligence. Many remain heavily redacted, even decades later. A initial review reveals a striking pattern: entries with conventional explanations are often more readable, while several of the most anomalous reports remain heavily withheld. High-speed objects. Silent lights changing direction. Disc-like forms. Luminous emissions. Fighter scrambles. The takeaway is clear: the U.S. government was monitoring foreign reporting and technical observations related to UAP for decades, and treating that information as highly sensitive intelligence. The data exists. The records exist. The secrecy remains. Disclosure Foundation will continue fighting for the public disclosure these records demand.

@SeanParnellASW Congrats Sean! Can we get the analytics portal to reflect that? analytics.usa.gov/defense

BREAKING: Over 1 BILLION users around the world have visited WAR.GOV/UFO The second release of UAP files are actively being processed for publication on the site. More to come very soon!

@robjonesreports @blockedepistem @19k0011 And split 8s

@19k0011 oops I forgot this is ufology, I'm not supposed to admit when I make mistakes, just double down

before anyone asks, I unpublished my substack article because there are a number of changes I need to make based on new information I have gathered, which may take some time.

@blockedepistem High confidence now on "L.H.DeWald" being the redaction. He's the MIT metallurgist named in the July 18 teletype that's on pages 106-109 in the section_1 file. Note they do not add spacing after abbreviations at the time:

@rquadrant Low confidence but I’m thinking Herb Grier (of EG&G fame, one of the G’s). Fits within the redaction space, and he would know what hardware are getting used related to the nascent nuclear complex in southwestern US. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_E…

Is this the most disturbing detail from the first batch of UFO documents? What looks like an innocuous (b)(7)(D) redaction is in an FBI file from 1947. 75+ years old meaning it should be mandatorily unredacted--especially with a presidential directive behind it. What gives?

@timburchett Yes.

Supper or breakfast?

@RepEricBurlison And without spurious redactions.

RELEASE THE FILES.

Occasionally, when I get stuck on something, whether it's research or otherwise, I will go on a long walk usually an hour or more. It helps.

@BobMcGwier_N4HY Wrap party gift.

No I didn’t steal it. He gave it to me.
