@MiddleOfMayhem How has your work not written an article about this yet? Need them clicks!

America has descended into a new Dark Ages.

@Memesandmkts @MiddleOfMayhem Bullshit - No one reads NY Post.

"UFOs are great. They sell newspapers." New York Post investigative journalist Steven Greenstreet (@MiddleOfMayhem) on the real reason UFO coverage never goes away. No lawsuits, no angry sources, no risk of getting something wrong and facing consequences. Just an audience that has been clicking on these stories since the 1940s 👇

@chrisramsay52 @JeremyCorbell I appreciate the effort JC is putting in but he seemed to lack respect for you and the interview felt combative. If you're both cool with it then great I suppose.

Reading some of the comments about Jeremy Corbell’s recent appearance on my show. I thought I would address them here, as there are many. I think the serious nature of this topic becomes apparent when seeing the toll it has on some of us. As a Youtube content creator, I can remove myself from this seriousness quite easily. That isn’t the case with most of those who are on the cutting edge of public disclosure. I am not a journalist, I do not meet with people on the “inside” and I am not interested in endangering my life for this stuff. But there are people (despite many people’s reluctance to believe it) that do these things willingly and that must affect them in ways I can only imagine. It is impossible to think negatively about someone when you have an understanding of who they are. The more you understand someone, the more empathy you will have for them. With public figures, we are given a projection of a piece of who they are and that is never representative of the whole. I hope people will also have an understanding heart if I find myself in a tough spot one day. ❤️

@MiddleOfMayhem Why doesn't the NY Post not do real journalism? You clearly think this is all BS but need the clicks?

The "ex-government researchers" in this zany article are a group of kooky ghost hunters who claim demons speak to them, poltergeists haunt their houses, and "bulletproof werewolves" are real. I've reported extensively on them for NY Post: nypost.com/2023/03/21/ufo…

@MickWest I'm just curious why you don't work on Videogames anymore. Even if I won the lottery I'd still want to make fun shit.

This conspiracy theory is so wrong that it's verging on delusion. I don't push disinformation. I try to figure out what UAP videos actually show. Nobody pays me to post here or to post my videos. I stand by my analyses, which are all public. It's really quite weird.

@skshadan_ Very interesting, thanks for sharing - A lot of useful takeaways here. To confirm you used an AVD rather than a physical device?

I just gave Claude Code a rooted Android phone… It autonomously reverse-engineered Subway Surfers, hooked the coin logic, bypassed the anti-cheat, and gave itself UNLIMITED coins in ONE session.

@MickWest I'm sure you'll get another job, mate, don't worry.

How is abolishing AARO supposed to help UFO disclosure? Burchett's bill delegates any AARO function to unspecified DoD elements, which would make the process less visible and accountable, not more. This is just performative, signaling AARO=BAD without actually helping. congress.gov/119/bills/hr81…

@rosscoulthart So does the name Terry Phillips ring any bells for you?

I can corroborate Matthew Brown's claims that a coordinated legacy UAP program disinformation operation is being run against whistleblowers. I received a message from an insider in one of those smear operations, who was disgusted by what he was being ordered to do: hide and discredit discussion of UAP legacy programs online.

@MiddleOfMayhem Hilarious you mocking it as a religion given your own background.

🚨 EXCLUSIVE: Former director of Pentagon's UFO office responds to President Trump's order to release the "alien" files and gives a preview of what the public should expect. My questions and his responses below. Pentagon scientist Sean Kirkpatrick, PhD, says he had access to ALL the top secret UFO files while he served as director of the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) 2022 - 2024. In 2022, Congress mandated the creation of AARO and tasked Kirkpatrick with finding answers to the UFO mystery. With the sweeping powers of Title 10 and Title 50 authorities, Kirkpatrick spent 2 years investigating every single top secret UFO document and looking inside every top secret basement for any evidence of UFOs and aliens. Not even Area 51 could turn him away. He had the keys to unlock all of America's secrets and what he found... was shocking. He retired in December 2024, issued a report to Congress, and quickly went public to sound the alarm about a "UFO religion" that had infiltrated the US government and sent Congress on a wild goose chase for fake aliens and paranormal monsters. He said some members of this UFO religion hold high positions of authority within the military and represent a potential threat to national security due to their irrational decision making, unpredictable behavior and fringe beliefs. Bafflingly, both Congress and the news media mostly ignored Kirkpatrick's report, and his warnings, and have since continued head-first into an abyss of unhinged UFO mania, wasting taxpayer resources and scaring the public. And that brings us to this week, where President Trump says he will mandate the release of all "UFO" and "alien" files inside various government agencies and departments. (It should be noted that Trump and the Trump family have been lobbied by members of this UFO "religion" in recent years) So what does Sean Kirkpatrick think about all this? My (SG) questions and his (KP) answers below: ----------------------------------- 🟢SG: I'm curious what your thoughts are on the recent hoopla of Obama saying aliens were "real" and Trump saying he's going to mandate a wide release of UFO and "alien" files. Since you had access to all these "files" while director of AARO, what can the public expect to see if/when such "files" are released? 🔴KP: Most files of interest have been released including the ones I had declassified on Kona Blue. We worked hard among the National Archives and all of the supporting archives to find and release the documents in accordance with Congressional direction. The public will likely see just as much new response as when Congress passed further legislation instructing industry to come clean on the alien tech they were supposedly hiding. The public shouldn’t expect any further revelations as there really aren’t any. Sometimes the truth isn’t what you want to believe. 🟢SG: UFO believers are claiming victory at Trump's announcement, using it as evidence of the government acknowledging aliens have visited Earth via extraterrestrial UFOs. Your response? 🔴KP: Only the truly naïve and rationally challenged would claim this is an admission. This is both a distraction and a diversion from the fact that we’re about attack Iran and a response to Obama’s public attention on the matter. 🟢SG: Any other thoughts on this new development? 🔴KP: I expected this would eventually happen for a variety of reasons. I think this is a further waste of taxpayer money and valuable time when we have far more existential matters to worry about. When no new revelations occur, there with be an outcry of conspiracy and cover up. When videos are released without analysis or explanation, there will be a flurry of pseudoscience and uneducated speculation to fill the gaps. We are rapidly slipping back into the dark ages and out of enlightenment, and our leadership is leading the way. ------------------------------- I have been, unfortunately, the only mainstream journalist to consistently cover this "UFO" story accurately. Here is a small selection of my many reports: 2023 - The UFO Lie nypost.com/2023/03/21/ufo… 2024 - Kirkpatrick and the "UFO Religion" nypost.com/video/ufo-reli… 2025 - The Pentagon's Ghostbusters nypost.com/video/the-pent…

@briantylercohen I like you but claiming this announcement is because you asked the question is ridiculous. It minimises the risk and hard word many whistle-blowers and people in Congress have been working hard to disclose since the 2017 NYTimes article.

what have I done

@MiddleOfMayhem NY Post employees use AI - Shocker.

My entire feed right now

@MickWest I'd love it if it was proven that they are real without a shadow of a doubt. Imagine all the time wasted by you and UFO enthusiast @MiddleOfMayhem on social media. You could've spent that time making another Tony Hawks game, man!

Why don't you just tell us that you know nothing at all about aliens? Keep on target.

@theblackvault Cue NYPost dickhead calling Obama a UFO Celebrity.

🚨 When asked about aliens, President Barack Obama says, “They’re real... But I haven’t seen them. They’re not being kept in, uhh, Area 51. There’s no underground facility. Unless there’s this enormous conspiracy and they hid it from the President of the United States.”

@MiddleOfMayhem Lol sure they did Steven. Are the "Senior Pentagon sources" in the room with us now?

Senior Pentagon source told me these documents were confirmed to be "part of a known Russian disinformation campaign" and that Congress has been briefed on the matter.

@GarryPNolan @GoodTroubleShow @48hours @48HoursCBSProd @CBSNews He knows how to use jQuery in 2026 though. How this man made his fortune I'll never understand. Oh wait... Government's love Legacy tech! It all makes sense now.

They asked me, and I said no... in no uncertain terms. I would not debate a garage experimenter who doesn't know the difference between a hypothesis, data, evidence, an opinion, and who changes the subject when he's cornered... and especially not someone who promotes an organization that deceptively edits people's Wikipedia bios based on personal bias. That kind of unethical and unprofessional behavior is not worth lending any credence to on a respectable show like 48 Hours. I said, "Look, I am happy to have a conversation with another REAL scientist who, like me, is skeptical of many of the interpretations of alleged 'exotic' phenomena." I would want that conversation to be with someone who is an experimentalist, publishes in peer-reviewed journals, etc. We could take turns playing Devil's Advocate (sceptics) for and against various propositions. I never heard back from the show organizer after that.

Metabunk is a third-rate echo chamber driven by a team of debunking cult followers who cosplay as scientists and experts—all “just for fun.” 😂 Right now, CBS 48 Hours is trying to find credible people willing to debate Mick West on UFOs. The top names they’ve approached think the idea is laughable and have passed. 48 Hours will make fools of themselves with this. Mick West is not a scientist. IMHO, he’s either the poster child for the Dunning–Kruger effect or a paid shill tasked with debunking UAP. @MickWest @MvonRen

@MvonRen @MickWest Lads too busy posting a billion times a day in social media like a 13 year old kid.

The world’s most prominent UFO “debunker,” @MickWest, has been retired for *decades.* He has NO JOB. Yet, after the most direct, mortal threat to his most important “theory” (“Gimbal”) emerges, he says: “I’m too busy to engage… … for the next *FIVE MONTHS* (!)” Unreal.

@MickWest Some might say you're weirdly obsessed with the UAP topic. What happened to making Videogames or other hobbies? You could probably make something semi impressive with all your 1990s jQuery skills.

REMINDER: - Rubio said "Navy Pilots, Admirals, Generals, whatever", and was probably talking about Tim Gallaudet, or whatever. - Marik von Rennenkampff is weirdly obsessed with me. It's funny.

@EricYearwood @xuwu It is.

@xuwu Is it still built in Unity?

VRChat is probably the only Metaverse product in VR today that truly has dominance. I have not seen any VR app or game that can surpass it in average time spent per user. It has plenty of issues, users complain, and the team is not known for being extremely intense, but all of this highlights how far ahead the model is and how rare its position is within the ecosystem. Over the past decade, every product that tried to challenge VRChat has fallen short. None of them managed to shake its position in the Metaverse space. Gorilla Tag is impressive and social, but at the end of the day it is still a game rather than a Metaverse-level platform. Horizon Worlds invested huge manpower and budget and has real technical highlights, yet from a product perspective there is still a long list of problems to solve. Things will change in the future. On the hardware side, more efficient chips and higher PPD micro-OLED displays will push immersion much further. On the technology side, models like Marble and SAM 3D are forming new generative paradigms, and more spatial intelligence capabilities are being unlocked. These foundational upgrades will become key variables for building the next generation of Metaverse ecosystems. As VR headsets and core algorithms continue to iterate, and as more mainstream users enter VR, it becomes increasingly likely that a next generation Metaverse platform will emerge, one that surpasses VRChat in scale and dominance. But that does not mean the opportunity will be easy to get right. Early hardware volumes are small and easy to overlook. AI looks powerful but initially functions only as a supplement rather than the core. And once everything becomes clear, the giants will flood in with overwhelming force.

@MiddleOfMayhem I've got deja vu reading this.

Jay Stratton at the NYC premiere of the UFO documentary "The Age of Disclosure". Stratton, who co-stars in the film, is a former Pentagon official who claims his house is haunted by poltergeists and a werewolf was in his backyard.

@dennisregalad0 @MiddleOfMayhem He's Steven Greenstreet, UFO Celebrity.

@MiddleOfMayhem when are you going to do actual reporting? aren’t you a journalist lmao

UFO celebrity Lue Elizondo at his new "Bombshells" bar in Wyoming. Elizondo rose to fame in 2017 after falsely claiming he was the director of a Pentagon UFO program. He enjoyed years of TV, movie and book deals before his claims were finally revealed as fraudulent.
