Airman Describes a UAP Three Saw Through Night Vision | Logan Labby

73K views · 1d ago · 56:59

Guest: Logan Labby

Through night-vision goggles, Logan Labby says he saw a large, silent V-shaped object over Schriever Air Force Base. When he lowered the goggles, he could no longer see it. In spring 2008, Logan was serving in Air Force Security Forces near Colorado Springs. He recalls that two fellow airmen also viewed the object through the goggles, yet none of them reported it that night. He says they feared what reporting a UFO might mean for their security clearances.

Guest: Ravi Kopparapu

What can 112 released UAP videos actually tell us? NASA Goddard planetary scientist Ravi Kopparapu joins me to explain what he and Jacob Haqq-Misra could measure in the PURSUE videos, where the evidence runs out, and what better data would make possible.

Navy Chief Watched a Triangle Hover Over a Cruiser, Then a Ship Fired a Missile | Ricky Harris

Guest: Ricky Harris

A shining black triangle, bigger than a warship, hanging motionless over a moving cruiser. Red, blue, and green lights at its corners. Then, in an instant, it was eight miles away. Ricky Harris spent decades in and around naval aviation, first as a Navy avionics technician aboard EC-130 TACAMO aircraft, the airborne link between national command authority and the submarine fleet, and later as a civilian instructor at the Navy’s strike fighter weapons school.

Stars winking out in the shape of a giant triangle. A beam of light that found him alone at his hot tub, with no source in sight. A sphere of plasma that stopped behind his house. And a veteran journalist’s warning: they’re tracking you.

Black Triangles, Pilot Reports & the Search for UAP Evidence | JMill & Ryan Graves

135K views · 1mo ago · 1:13:05

Guest: Jonathan Miller

What are pilots reporting, and how do we turn those accounts into evidence we can study? I sit down with Jonathan Miller, known as JMill, to discuss his work on sensemaking and MIT's Confronting Unknowns program. We explore how researchers can study ambiguous data, separate signal from noise, and stay open to new information without jumping to conclusions.

A crashed spaceship. A career left in doubt. And six days later, a backyard full of light he couldn't explain. Brian Binnie was the second person to fly a private spacecraft to the edge of space — a Navy veteran with 33 combat missions, advanced degrees from Brown and Princeton, and the test pilot who flew the final flight of SpaceShipOne.

Guest: Austin Hulbert

Former Navy F-18 pilot Austin Hulbert and his weapons systems officer called it a balloon and moved on. Years later, Austin started building stratospheric balloons for the military. That explanation no longer made sense to him.
