UAP Files Podcast

What if the biggest obstacle to UFO disclosure isn't the government, but the UFO community itself?

In this episode of UAP Files, I'm joined by documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir, who has spent almost two decades investigating UFOs, government secrecy, extraterrestrial encounters and some of the most controversial personalities in the subject.

Darcy doesn't hold back.

We discuss the growing influence of UFO celebrities, the money being made from disclosure, the increasingly divided UFO community and whether some of the people promising us answers are actually making it...

On 22 June 2020, filmmaker and drone pilot Jay Enticknap was filming a performance on a barge at Tottenham Lock in London. Nobody on the boat saw or heard anything. A couple of months later, clicking through the footage frame by frame, he found something flying directly over the heads of the performers… and then coming back along exactly the same path. In this clip from UAP Files Podcast S3E49, Jay talks me through his footage.
In this clip:
• The one moment in the shoot when the drone was directly overhead, looking straight down on the barge
• Findin...

The first director of the Pentagon’s UFO office, AARO, goes head-to-head with Jimmy. Asked about Skywatcher and Jake Barber’s claim that they can summon UAP, Dr Sean Kirkpatrick says AARO talked to them and “found absolutely nothing credible about it.” Then Jimmy pushes back on his radar explanations with the testimony of Navy pilots like Commander David Fravor.
In this clip:
• Skywatcher and Jake Barber: what AARO says it found
• Jimmy reads back Kirkpatrick’s own Politico quotes. Was it aliens, adversaries or neither?
• Some cases looked like foreign adversaries at first but never reached ev...

Aran Devereux was flying his drone over Doolough Valley in County Mayo, Ireland, grabbing one last panning shot before heading home. He didn’t see anything at the time. Back home, his girlfriend spotted it on the laptop: an object rising out of the ground and shooting past the drone, against the wind. Then he found two more objects shooting off in the background.

And while editing this interview, Jimmy spotted even more UAPs in the footage that nobody had noticed before.

Did NASA photograph a UFO during the Gemini XI mission in 1966? And could the original evidence have been classified or removed? In this episode of UAP Files Podcast, I speak with Ed Wilson, a rare book and document dealer whose discovery of a mysterious UFO image within a collection of over 560 original NASA photographs sparked a remarkable three-year investigation.

The collection belonged to Emily Ertl and Scott H. Simpkinson, two individuals closely connected to NASA's early space programme.Wilson reveals compelling findings involving forensic analysis, original NASA...

This is some of the most fascinating UFO footage I've seen in a while.Filmed over Long Beach, California, on 21 October 2017, the footage appears to show a large, bright, egg-shaped UFO seemingly releasing dozens of smaller orbs into the atmosphere.According to the man who captured it, known on X as Jim Films UFOs, he initially spotted two objects crossing paths before focusing his camera on the larger one. What happened next is pretty extraordinary.As he zoomed in using his full-spectrum infrared camera, the object appeared to begin ejecting smaller spheres, initially forming a triangular formation before releasing...

What exactly are the mysterious "orbs" repeatedly filmed and shared by Chris Bledsoe?

In this special excerpt from a longer UAP Files Podcast discussion, I'm joined by Tom Vernon of Tom Vernon UAP and Peter Osborne of Truth In Focus UFO to examine some remarkable footage shared by Chris Bledsoe, including Peter's enhancement work, which appears to reveal details, shapes and movement that aren't immediately obvious in the original footage.

THIS IS AN EXCERPT / BEST BITS EDITION WITH ENHANCED AUDIO.

In 1950, before Sputnik, before NASA, and before a single known artificial satellite was orbiting Earth… something appeared in the sky.

Astronomer Dr Beatriz Villarroel and her team have been studying mysterious objects known as “transients” — points of light captured on astronomical photographic plates that appear, disappear, and in some cases seem to show patterns that are extremely difficult to explain.

The problem?

Some of these images were captured years before humanity officially entered the space age.

In this episode of UAP Files, we look at the extraordinary research involving the historic Palomar...

Something unusual was filmed over Tehran — and then a second video appeared.

On 20 September 2026, footage began circulating online showing a strange formation of lights over the Iranian capital.

The first video appears to show a large curved or V-shaped formation moving amongst the clouds.

Then another recording emerged, apparently filmed from a different location in Tehran.

If these genuinely are independent recordings of the same object, this becomes considerably more interesting.

But there are al...

What happens when you stop looking at Skywatcher’s Jake Barber and his extraordinary claims — and start looking at the paperwork?

In this episode, I follow the money, companies and helicopters surrounding Barber’s civilian career to see whether there’s anything behind his claims of involvement in highly classified UAP recovery operations.

From government helicopter contracts and Royal Helicopter Services to Mile High Resources — a private military and defence testing facility in West Texas — the paper trail reveals some VERY interesting connections.

We trace individual aircraft through FAA and NTSB records, examine Barber’s bus...

Today’s guest is known publicly as "Whistling Mike".More than twenty years ago, Mike says he and three other witnesses encountered an extraordinary craft hovering just above the ground in rural Kansas: virtually silent, apparently without conventional propulsion, and displaying technology he believes was human — but far beyond anything publicly acknowledged.But the encounter itself is only the beginning.Mike claims a piece of that craft actually fell to the ground and was recovered, eventually leading him to develop technology capable of detecting similar objects. You may think this...

What really happened to Skywatcher — and why did they suddenly go dark?

In this investigation, I revisit Jake Barber and Skywatcher’s extraordinary UAP claims, including updates from Congressman Eric Burlison and John, one of the psionic assets who worked directly with the Skywatcher team, Jake Barber and Sean Kirkpatrick's comments as former Pentagon Director (AARO).

I also return to something I uncovered back in 2025: the visible tail number on Barber’s helicopter. I traced its flight activity to Van Horn, Texas, opening up some intriguing questions about El Paso...

The following is a conversation with my good friend and author Patrick Welby-Everard.

In 1990, my friend Patch witnessed something he still can't explain.

Driving home late one night, he stopped to investigate a dark, angular object hovering above a field. More than 35 years later, he still questions what he saw—but says the overwhelming feeling of fear has never left him. He believes the craft resembled the object associated with the Rendlesham Forest incident more than a traditional flying saucer.

I have had sooo many people DM me asking if I'd seen what UAP Gerb had said on the Ross Coultart News Nation show. If I had an opinion. And what it all means.Spoiler, I talk for 9 mins about it and there are no bombshells. I try and take a more pragmatic approach to all this drama (apologies for the thumbnail and title...it's a wink to certain sensational YouTubers ;)*I have not spoken to Lue for 1 year and 6 months (ish). In the recording I said 6 months by mistake. And I’ve never spoken to UAP Gerb. I ha...

🎙️ Audio Bonus Episode

For decades, the UFO subject lived on the fringes of society. Witnesses were ridiculed, military reports were dismissed, and serious discussion was almost impossible to find. Today, the landscape looks very different.

In this special audio-only bonus episode, I take a step back and reflect on just how dramatically the conversation has changed over the past seventy years. From Roswell and the Disclosure Project to the 2017 New York Times revelations, congressional hearings, military whistleblowers, NASA, AARO and the White House, the pace of change has been extraordinary.

Whether you believe every whi...

For more than a decade, this UFO video has quietly remained one of the internet's most intriguing mysteries.Uploaded in 2013 by an anonymous YouTube account called

**ResearchForTruth12**, the footage appeared online with little fanfare before the creator—known only as **"Bob"**—vanished completely after posting just two videos.

Years later, something unexpected happened.

**Tom DeLonge** shared the footage with millions of followers, publicly stating that he believed it was genuine and encouraging viewers to pay close attention to one very unusual detail... the sound.

A brand new UFO video has just surfaced from Brazil... and rather than jumping to conclusions, I decided to analyse it properly.In this video I examine the footage frame by frame, investigate the anonymous YouTube channel that released it, and assess the claims surrounding its alleged 2009 origin. I also take a close look at the camcorder shown in the accompanying short, highlight discrepancies between the claimed camera model and the hardware on display, and explain what the playback screen reveals about the recording.Using traditional image enhancement techniques—including contrast adjustments and colour inversion—I extract the clearest poss...

In this video, I dive deep into one of the most intriguing pieces of UFO evidence ever captured — an audio recording allegedly broadcast over CB radio by an American police officer in 1981.

The officer claimed to witness a UFO hovering over a river, and the eerie, otherworldly sound was captured on tape.
