That UFO Podcast

Last week both Barack Obama and Donald Trump publicly addressed aliens and UFOs, triggering global reaction and renewed calls for transparency.

But what if disclosure is not what people think it is?

In this in depth conversation, Richard Dolan breaks down Trump’s directive to identify and release UFO files, the role of the intelligence community, compartmentation inside the Department of Defense and Department of Energy, and why Presidents may not control the deepest secrets.

We explore the difference between disclosure and contact, whether non human intelligences have any motivation to engage with hu...

A UFO so large it could not be transported. That was the claim made by investigative journalist Ross Coulthart in 2023. According to the story, a structure was built over the craft because it was simply too big to move, and the location was said to be outside of the United States.

Since then, speculation has ranged from Pine Gap in Australia to secure facilities in Nevada and Europe. More recently, attention has focused on a specific site in South Korea.

In this episode, Andy revisits the origins of the Too Big To Move claim and...

In what may prove to be a historic week, both a former President and a sitting President have spoken openly about aliens and UFOs.

Now the reaction is coming in from high-level voices across government and the UFO community.

In this rapid update, Andy breaks down:

• Congressman Jared Moskowitz suggesting bipartisan action
• Jay Stratton calling this a landmark moment
• Lue Elizondo thanking President Trump for taking steps toward disclosure
• Chris Mellon warning of the complexities ahead
• Senator Kirsten Gillibrand urging follow-through
• Sean Kirkpatrick dismissing the entire moment as distraction<...

Breaking news.

Former President Barack Obama has sparked a global reaction after saying “Aliens are real” during an interview with political commentator Brian Tyler Cohen.

The clip has gone viral worldwide.

In this 16-minute news update, I break down:

• The exact quote
• His follow-up clarification on Instagram
• The Area 51 reference
• Why he specifically said “during my presidency”
• Whether this could be part of soft disclosure

It’s been a busy few weeks in the world of UFO news.

In this episode of That UFO Podcast, Andy breaks down newly released footage reportedly captured by an MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Jordanian-Syrian border, showing what appears to be instantaneous acceleration, one of the “five observables.”

We also dive into newly surfaced Russian UFO files reportedly smuggled out by George Knapp in the 1990s, including mass sightings, alleged onboard encounters, and Soviet-era investigations into the phenomenon.

Plus:

• Congressman Eric Burlison discusses a classified location allegedly housing a massive craft to...

In this episode of That UFO Podcast, Andy is joined by constitutional lawyer and New Paradigm Institute president Danny Sheehan for a wide-ranging discussion on UFO secrecy and the current state of disclosure.

Sheehan explains why he believes Congress already has the constitutional authority to declassify UFO information, how whistleblower protections could change the landscape, and why public pressure is becoming impossible to ignore.

The conversation also touches on testimony involving a deathbed confession of an alleged encounter with a non-human entity, raising deeper questions about how such accounts should be understood and evaluated.

In this episode, Andy is joined by Reed Summers, organiser of the UAP Detection and Tracking Summit, and Rich Hoffman, veteran UAP researcher and Strategic Advisor to the summit.

The conversation focuses on why detection and tracking are now the most critical steps in UAP research, the limitations of leaked military footage, the growing role of citizen science, and why transparent, multi-sensor data is essential if the subject is ever to move beyond speculation.

Reed and Rich discuss how modern technology makes civilian-led UAP detection possible, the importance of international data standards, and how public...

In part two, we move into the most unsettling and controversial testimony connected to Rendlesham Forest.

Gary discusses accounts of beams of light directed into nuclear bunkers, grid-like scanning patterns over the base, and visual descriptions of a translucent wedge-shaped craft observed at close range.

We also explore testimony describing a glowing fog near ground level, objects dividing into multiple forms, and reports of what appeared to be non-human beings seen near the craft during a silent encounter.

Finally, we examine what these details imply, why they were rarely discussed publicly, and how...

In part one of this conversation, Gary Heseltine breaks down the Rendlesham Forest incident from the ground up.

We focus on the credibility of the witnesses involved, the fact that Rendlesham was not a single event but a series of multiple timed incidents, and why the location of the base as a nuclear weapons storage site changes how the case should be viewed.

Gary also explains how the official story became streamlined over time, how key testimony was pushed aside, and why the Rendlesham narrative most people are familiar with does not reflect the full...

In this end of month news update, I break down some of the most important and under discussed developments in the UFO and UAP space as we head towards February 2026.

Topics include new claims around detection and sensor limitations, recent FOIA refusals and media access restrictions revealed by The Black Vault, and renewed debate around the Nazca mummies.

I also cover a notable article published in The Sunday Times suggesting central banks should consider the financial stability risks of a future UAP disclosure, followed by a clearly separated statement provided to me by former Bank...

This special episode of That UFO Podcast pays tribute to Erich von Däniken, the Swiss author whose book Chariots of the Gods? helped popularise the ancient astronaut hypothesis and reshape public conversations about humanity’s past.

In this special archival episode, we revisit a largely forgotten but highly significant moment in modern UFO history.

In November 2007, international military, aviation, scientific, and government officials gathered at the National Press Club in Washington DC to publicly discuss their UFO encounters and official investigations, a full decade before the subject re-entered the mainstream conversation in 2017.

Participants included senior figures from the United States, United Kingdom, France, Belgium, Iran, Peru, and Chile, many of whom described incidents involving radar tracking, military interception, physical effects, and objects exhibiting performance beyond known technology.

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Avi Loeb, Harvard astrophysicist, head of the Galileo Project, and author of Extraterrestrial and Interstellar.

We dive deep into 3I/ATLAS, the third known interstellar object ever detected, and why it has sparked intense scientific interest and public debate. Avi explains the unusual features of this object, including its anti-tail, orbital alignment, and chemical signatures, and why these anomalies deserve serious scrutiny.

We also discuss the CIA’s “neither confirm nor deny” response to records about 3I/ATLAS, the idea of black swan events, criticism of narrow S...

At the start of 2026, the UFO disclosure conversation appears more fractured than ever. Andy is joined by journalist and Psicoactivo podcast host Pavel to break down David Grusch’s recent comments on The Age of Disclosure, his criticism of senior intelligence figures, and the growing divide within the disclosure movement itself. From insider testimony and documentary narratives to experiencers, biologics, and public readiness, this episode explores where disclosure stands and where it may be heading next.

In Part 2, the conversation moves from history into consequences.

Andy and Ryan examine how UFO skepticism evolved from scientific caution into something far more strategic. They explore radar interference theories, early claims of recovered craft, and whether figures like Donald Menzel knowingly participated in long-term counterintelligence efforts.

The discussion expands into modern UFO debates, including skepticism versus debunking, the treatment of eyewitness testimony, belief systems, and why the burden of proof in UFO research remains uniquely high.

This episode asks a difficult question: if skepticism was shaped by intelligence needs decades ago, are...

In this breaking news update, Andy covers a series of major developments shaping the UFO and UAP conversation as 2026 begins.

The episode opens with the surprise appearance of a new book listing from Luis Elizondo. Titled Reckoning: The Unspoken Truth about UFOs and the Urgency of Now, the book has quietly appeared on publisher and retail sites with an expected 2026 release. Andy reads and analyses the full publisher blurb, discusses timing, positioning, and why this release matters coming from a former Pentagon insider.

Attention then turns to David Grusch and his recent high-profile interview on...

In this bonus review episode, Andy steps slightly outside the usual UFO comfort zone to review the documentary American Sasquatch: Man, Myth or Monster?, a film that explores the Bigfoot phenomenon through eyewitness testimony, physical evidence, DNA claims, and high strangeness theories.

Produced by Lab Nine Films and featuring familiar names from the wider UFO and paranormal world, the documentary raises questions that will sound very familiar to UAP researchers.

Is Sasquatch a flesh and blood creature?
A misidentified relic of human ancestry?
Or something far stranger, possibly connected to portals, consciousness, and UFO...
