"It feels like there was this big push 2017 on incredible progress, things that I would never see in my lifetime. Congress holding hearings first time in a half a century, and then continue to do it in new programs being set up. But it feels right now we're in the Empire Strikes Back phase." — George Knapp
"Drones are the new swamp gas, drones are the new weather balloons. They're the all-purpose explainer. Oh yeah, that's just a drone, don't pay attention to it." — Henry Sir Browsky
"The closer you get to the goodies, the harder the pushback becomes. And we're seeing it right now." — Ed Larson
The episode features a discussion with ufologists Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp, focusing on their experiences at the "Contact in the Desert" event. They delve into the challenges of obtaining accurate information regarding Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP), noting a shift from a perceived "disclosure push" to a more complex phase characterized by disinformation and counter-intelligence efforts. Knapp describes this as an "Empire Strikes Back phase," where momentum for transparency has been dulled.
A significant portion of the conversation revolves around the recent drone incursions and the lack of clear explanation from official channels, with the hosts and guests questioning the narrative provided by agencies like the FAA and the White House. This perceived lack of transparency leads to speculation about hidden technologies and government control over narratives. The discussion also touches upon broader theories regarding the nature of UAP, including the possibility of advanced AI, future human evolution, or extraterrestrial intelligences with vastly different conceptions of time and purpose.
The speakers explore the idea that disclosure may not necessarily be about revealing advanced technology, but rather controlling its access and application. They also discuss the potential for other countries to be more forthcoming with information, though historical patterns suggest a coordinated approach amongst global powers. The conversation concludes with reflections on the overwhelming amount of information and misinformation within the Ufology community, emphasizing the need for critical skepticism and the importance of investigating who is manipulating the narrative.
