In 2023 I watched David Grusch testify before Congress and it changed my life... Today I found myself representing @NewsNation at a press conference and asking the same man questions just three years later, it's been a magical ride, thank you to everyone who helped along the way!

My dog can’t just “go for a walk.” He has to seek out the weirdest possible situations and then get me involved. It’s really fucking with our dynamic.

My segment on Fox News from this weekend linked below. Engaged and thoughtful conversation. Key takeaway: Americans should care about the national security implications of these incursions at our sensitive military facilities (Pantex, Langley, Barksdale). Also underscores the importance of the @disclosurefound initiative to independently support NASA’s review of archival material for UAP, working to complete the original recommendations from the UAP Independent Study Team.

Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIRD) unclassified report about “Biosensors and BioMEMs: A Survey of The Present Field”. “What is BioMEMS? BioMEMS stands for biomedical micro-electro-mechanical systems. It is a name applied to biological and medical devices that are created using advanced fabrication processes that allow the devices to be very small relative to comparable devices produced by traditional techniques. BioMEMS devices can also exploit the microscale to provide new functions that are not practical or possible in large-scale devices. The name applies to an exceptionally wide variety of engineered devices that derive from electrical, mechanical, chemical, and molecular engineering. The name distinguishes these from nanoMEMS which are submicron in scale such as carbon nanotube structures. Recently BioMEMS has become something of a misnomer as many of the latest technologies are being designed and developed based on nanoscale technologies which are many times smaller than microscale technologies. While current devices are manufactured mostly on the microscale, many of the functioning parts and the materials they operate on are at the nanoscale level. NanoMEMS for biomedical applications are mostly carbon-based materials that have emerged as prime materials because of their favorable mechanical and electrical properties. Carbon-based nanostructures such as graphene exhibit a high Young's modulus (stiffness), high strength, low density, low friction and large surface area. The low friction of a carbon nanotube allows production of practically frictionless bearings and has thus been a huge motivation towards applications such as nanomotors. Carbon nanostructures are much stronger than steel, which allows carbon-based materials to meet high-stress demands in biomedical applications such as weight-bearing prosthetics (like hip-joint or bone replacements), where other materials would fail. The field of BioMEMS encompasses micro devices that are often but not exclusively made by the same photolithographic techniques used to make computer chips. Their applications include neuroprosthetics, sensors and actuators, and microchemistry systems. A microchemistry system, often called a lab on a chip, can analyze chemical properties of a very small quantity of material such as a tiny blood sample. Advanced systems can perform several tests on the sample at one time. There are also drug-delivery systems, miniature hearing aids, artificial retinas, DNA analysis systems, cancer diagnostics, and an amazing variety of devices which support the function of the human body. Figure 1 shows some devices that were developed by the faculty of Biomedical Engineering at Arizona State University.” A lot of these are public now because of the “freedom of information” requests as part of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP).

Defense Intelligence Reference Document (DIRD) unclassified report about “The Role of Superconductors in Gravity Research” which brings up gravity waves and the discussion of gravitoelectromagnetism. “In the late 1980s while at the University of Alabama, Douglas Torr was examining neglected areas of physics, including aether theories and experiments, as well as gravitational wave antennas, the subject of a paper awarded the Gravity Research Foundation's "First Award" in 1989. In 1991, Torr and Ning Li published a paper on the effects of a gravitomagnetic field on superconducting matter (Reference 16). Ordinarily, all magnetic fields are excluded from the interior of a superconductor because of Meissner expulsion. However, by solving the coupled Maxwell, GR, and London equations for the internal magnetic and gravitomagnetic fields of superconductors exposed to external gravitomagnetic and magnetic fields, they predicted a small residual internal magnetic field. This in turn produces an internal gravitomagnetic field. The fields are related to one another by the Cooper pair mass-to-charge ratio. The gravitomagnetic field penetration depth is larger than the normal magnetic field depth. A year later the same authors presented papers at a meeting of the American Physical Society (Reference 17). Buoyed by the apparent success of their previous analyses, part of the title of one presentation was "A Theoretical Basis for a Principle of Electrically Induced Gravitation." In this paper, they used coupled Ginzburg-Landau equations to calculate the relative strengths of the electric and gravitational fields in superconductors in the presence of magnetic and gravitomagnetic fields. They concluded that under certain circumstances, a secondary gravitational field could be induced inside a superconductor and "provide a basis for the electrical generation of gravitational fields in the laboratory." Then came the bombshell. A Russian materials scientist on staff at the Institute of Materials Science at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland published a paper in 1992 on an apparent gravity shielding experiment using a spinning superconductor disk (Reference 15). In the mid-1980s, the lead author, Evgueny E. Podkletnov, had published several papers on ceramics while at the Institute for High Temperatures in Moscow. He later moved to Finland, where he completed his doctorate under then-Director of the Institute of Materials Science Pentti Kettunen. Podkletnov's thesis was on preparation of pure YBCO whiskers by magnetron sputtering, and he was producing this material for powder-in-tube high-temperature superconducting wire for a local business concern. According to Kettunen (Reference 21), the spinning disk experiment was not actually performed at the institute but rather was conducted by Podkletnov and others "after hours." Kettunen also confided that although he was aware of the existence of the gravity shielding experiment through "so many others" telling him about it, he never witnessed it himself. He did confirm the story Podkletnov later told about discovering the shielding effect by watching the smoke from a coworker's pipe float up exactly in the "shadow" of the spinning disk. The disk was apparently made in Russia for sputtering purposes and brought to Finland.” A lot of these are public now because of the “freedom of information” requests as part of the Advanced Aerospace Weapon System Applications Program (AAWSAP).

@robjonesreports @robinhanson no, i'm reducing it to whether or not the public gets to be well-informed about what's likely to happen unlike other investments, PMs are a zero-sum game, the benefit doesn't accrue to the people playing, it accrues to the people watching

deeply unserious take, Robin. campaign staffers have private data and power over the outcome. betting on their own races makes corruption profitable, and calling conflict-of-interest rules a “fetish” is logically incoherent, morally vacant, and recklessly indifferent to abuse.
Robin Hanson@robinhanson

Anti-insider-trading has become a fetish instead of a reasoned policy. What exactly do people think goes wrong if campaign staffers trade on their races? npr.org/2026/07/09/nx-…

1948: One of the first Air Force analyses of UFOs cites “balls of fire” and “silver balls” among the most common morphologies 2026: AARO is perplexed by “fiery orbs” (Kosloski/Phillips/Bostick) 2023: “Metallic orbs” are “making very interesting apparent maneuvers” (Kirkpatrick)

Clearly, the US government is well aware of the “fiery orb” UFO phenomenon. Spherical objects, for which no prosaic explanations fit the data, have also been observed on military sensors (post below). Identical phenomena have been reported since at least WWII (“foo fighters”).

@disclosurefound Executive Director @jordanflowers has claimed that @ODNIgov successfully lured UAPs. He says the Office of the Director of National Intelligence conducted a successful operation designed to attract unidentified objects over a sensitive U.S. government testing facility. One witness said: ‘We were virtually speechless after these observations.’

if that's so, it's an astonishingly small-minded position. millennia of political history show what happens when private profit attaches to privileged access and public power. calling serious or widespread harm “unlikely” requires pretending political staffers are somehow immune to ordinary human incentives.

@robjonesreports @robinhanson I don't think @robinhanson's position is that reasons for trades are hard to imagine, but just that serious or widespread harms are unlikely. E.g., if a staffer with knowledge of polling/ad buys/endorsements/etc trades based on that, what bad thing happens?

This comes from my good friend @jordanflowers - who deserves all the credit. The story is HUGE. The U.S. government may now be forced to admit it conducted an operation to "lure" UFOs - and that it was successful. An incredible incredible story.

@robinhanson staffers can use nonpublic polling, planned ad buys, endorsements, disclosures, or withdrawal decisions to trade markets tied to their own race before the public knows. their job becomes private arbitrage. acting as if the potential trades are hard to imagine is willfully obtuse.
