On the Road with a UFO Legend | UAP Files Podcast S3E58 | Philip Mantle

UAP Files Podcast S3E58 | In this episode, I’m honoured to be joined by someone who truly needs no introduction in British ufology — Philip Mantle.Philip is one of the original figures of UK UFO research, someone who has been investigating, documenting, and writing about the phenomenon for decades. Long before the topic became mainstream, he was already on the ground, interviewing witnesses, examining cases, and helping to shape serious UFO investigation in the UK. He’s widely regarded as one of the country’s most respected researchers and authors on the subject, with a body of work that has influenced generations of investigators and enthusiasts alike.For this conversation, I traveled to meet Philip in person, as part of a new series where I go out in to the field to find the most interesting people to talk to. We talk about his long history in the field, the evolution of UFO research in Britain, and the lessons learned from a lifetime of investigating some of the UK’s most compelling cases.This episode isn’t just an interview — it’s a conversation with one of the true OGs of British ufology.

UAP Files Podcast S3E57 | Salvatore Pais | Today’s guest is Salvatore Pais — a physicist and advanced concepts engineer whose work sits at the far edge of propulsion, energy, and fundamental physics.Salvatore currently works within the U.S. Navy and has worked within Space Force, contributing to highly advanced research programs, and he’s publicly known for a series of patents exploring unconventional ideas involving high-energy electromagnetic systems, vacuum interactions, and spacetime engineering.Those patents later became closely associated with the public conversation around UAPs — often in ways that blurred the line between serious physics, speculation, and mythology.What makes this conversation exceptional is perspective. Salvatore has operated inside environments where questions about UAPs, advanced propulsion, and potential non-human intelligence are approached analytically — not culturally or emotionally. He understands what data exists, what remains unknown, and where physics itself begins to strain.Today, he speaks candidly about what the UAP phenomenon could represent, how he thinks about the question of non-human intelligence, and what he personally believes is real — and technology may be out there - and here’s a spoiler, maybe world ending technology, but also war ending technology - technology that could end all wars before they start - time travel!This is a rare conversation — and an important one.

In this special episode of The UAP Files Podcast, I’m joined in person for the very first time in our new studio by my good friend Peter Osborne.Pete is a true artist. After decades working as a sculptor, his journey took a fascinating turn when he began enhancing old black-and-white films. That skillset naturally led him into UFO imagery—where, in my opinion, he quickly became one of the very best in the world at what he does. Probably THE best. Today, we sit down for a relaxed and wide-ranging conversation. Pete walks us through some of his favourite UFO footage and imagery, explains his enhancement process, and shares the stories behind the cases that captivated him most. Along the way, we chat about the UFO/UAP world, creating content on YouTube, and the incredible friends and community we’ve discovered on this journey.🛸 In this episode, we cover:* The Kumburgaz UFO footage* Chris Bledsoe’s orb encounters* George Knapp’s investigation into Alien USO footage* The famous Medellín, Colombia UFO case* Pete’s subscribers footage sent in* Pete’s personal enhancement work and insights behind the imageryWe share the footage with you, break it down together, and enjoy a good old-fashioned chat about the mystery, the process, and the passion that keeps us all looking up.If you’re interested in UFOs, UAP investigations, image analysis, or the people behind the research, this episode is for you.🔔 Like, subscribe, and join the conversation in the comments.Want to support the channel?

On December 26th, 1980—a night permanently stamped into the mythology of modern UFO history—the Rendlesham Forest Incident unfolded, now known worldwide as the “British Roswell.” Just miles from that forest, on that same charged night, a United States Air Force pilot stationed in the UK encountered something extraordinary. What he saw hovered in complete silence, impossibly close to him, before accelerating away in a manner that defied every known law of flight and propulsion. The object’s movement was not just advanced—it was non-human in capability and intent.Our guest tonight is Colonel Dan “TANNA” Isbell (ret.), a pilot whose career needs no embellishment. He is a Top Gun fighter pilot who has flown more than seventy different aircraft types, a former Experimental Test Pilot Instructor at the USAF Test Pilot School, and a commander and division chief trusted with some of the most advanced aircraft programs ever fielded by the United States. Isbell later became an F-22 Air Vehicle Program Manager and then Directed Energy Weapons Chief at the Air Force Research Lab, working at the frontier of aerospace, lasers, and systems most of the world will never know exist. He has spent decades advising and operating at Pentagon level and continues to hold high-clearance (top secret) status as a subject matter expert in advanced weapons and flight systems.For forty-five years, Isbell has remained silent about what happened that night near Rendlesham. Only recently has he chosen to come forward—not just about that single encounter, but about three additional UFO experiences spanning multiple craft types: from a silent, structured triangle to an orb performing maneuvers with no aerodynamic logic or known propulsion source. In this conversation, he goes into exacting detail, not only about what he saw, but how it moved, what it looked like, and why the experience has remained with him for nearly half a century. He also shares the forensic artist reconstruction completed by an FBI-trained illustrator, offering the clearest visual representation you could ask for.This is not speculation, rumor, or secondhand mythology. This is testimony from one of the most qualified pilots and aerospace authorities alive today—an individual trained to measure flight performance down to the micron and the millisecond. Tonight, Dan Isbell lays it all out on the craft he encountered near Rendlesham and the others that followed, offering insight into why he has remained quiet for so long, and why now, after decades of secrecy, he believes it’s time to speak publicly.Want to support the channel?

In this episode, I speak with Ste, the creator behind the Bushcraft with Ste Outdoors YouTube channel. After seeing a remarkable piece of footage he captured — a group of glowing orbs moving in a triangular formation before separating but still maintaining formation — I knew I had to talk to the man behind the camera.Filmed in Manchester, the sighting was recorded using the GNG2K Night Vision scope, shown above. This compact night-vision unit (from Goyojo) allows for filming in complete darkness and played a key role in capturing the unusual behaviour of the objects Ste witnessed.Across a fast-paced ten-minute conversation, Ste explains:- His background and how bushcraft led to unexpected sky-watching moments- What made him look up that night- What he saw with his own eyes, including anything the camera may not have captured- Using the GNG2K night-vision scope- Additional experiences he’s had outdoors- Plus a look at the original footage and some enhanced clipsA big thanks to Ste for the conversation — his channel and Instagram are linked below.Want to support the channel?

UAP Files Podcast S3E53 | In this episode I sit down with Kyle Vidmar, a U.S. Air Force veteran, former meteorologist, and DevOps engineer who supported the 175th Fighter Squadron A-10s during his enlistment at Warfield ANG Base. In the winter of 2023–2024, Kyle began noticing strange aerial anomalies directly above his home—patterns and movements he knew shouldn’t be there.Armed with a SIONYX Aurora Night-Vision-to-Color camera, he began recording three hours of footage every night, analyzing each clip and posting his findings to his X account the following day. In our conversation, Kyle breaks down what he’s captured, the behaviour of these objects, and how his background in meteorology and military aviation shapes the way he interprets what he’s seeing.We also dive into his impressive tech project, UFO Battler—an app he developed from scratch that brings a new level of analysis and interactivity to anomalous sightings. Kyle walks us through how it works, why he built it, and what he believes this phenomenon may truly represent.If you’re interested in UFOs, UAPs, advanced tech, or firsthand experiences from someone who records the phenomenon nightly, this is an episode you won’t want to miss.Want to support the channel?

Today’s guest is Dr. Dan, a counseling psychologist with a PhD who specialises in anxiety, OCD, and trauma. His professional work is grounded in science, but his personal story adds an unexpected dimension. In 2015, he had an encounter that set off a long, private journey — first trying to forget it, then trying to explain it away, and eventually realizing that what remained defied easy answers.Dr. Dan describes that process almost like moving through stages of grief: denial, bargaining, frustration, and ultimately a kind of acceptance. Not acceptance of loss, but acceptance of reality — a reality that turned out to be far stranger and far bigger than the one he once believed in. As cultural stigma around these topics has slowly shifted, he’s now willing to talk about it openly.Today, we explore both his clinical expertise and the extraordinary experience that reshaped his understanding of the world.Want to support the channel?

Are anonymous online debunkers and forums like Metabunk quietly becoming the “official truth” — even over military pilots, scientists, and peer-reviewed research?In this video, I put Mick West’s Metabunk to the test… and they failed.This isn’t about attacking Mick West personally. This is about a growing problem:anonymous, unqualified forum users being treated as factual authorities by Wikipedia, Community Notes, journalists, and even AI models like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok (with its new “Grokapedia”).For years we’ve heard:“Don’t feed the trolls.”“Don’t engage with debunkers — you’ll never change their mind.”But it’s no longer just about opinions on a forum.It’s now about who gets to write history.🛑 When AI learns from Wikipedia and Wikipedia cites Metabunk… opinions become “facts.”🛑 When anonymous users outrank pilots, scientists, or peer-reviewed research… something is broken.Want to support the channel? Please consider buying me a coffee ☕️ https://buymeacoffee.com/uapfilesIn this video I show:✔️ How Metabunk’s analysis failed a simple test✔️ Why layperson debunkers are being cited as “expert sources”✔️ Why this affects AI, UFO history, and future generations✔️ What Dr. Gary Nolan and others have to say about this issue✔️ Why “sunlight is the best disinfectant” — now more than everI’m not an “expert.” I’m just a researcher who’s seen more UFO footage than most — and that’s the point. None of us should be treated as absolute truth. Not me. Not Metabunk. Not anonymous avatars.This is a warning — and a call for transparency.📢 If you care about truth, history, and how AI is being trained — please watch, share, and discuss.Let’s make sure the next generation inherits facts, not forum opinions.Videos referenced in this episode:Mick West Interview https://youtu.be/Gsw3O8XWMk8?si=YDIDFtOfdxaE8pvmThe Tape Part 1 https://youtu.be/cOetZMijK3A?si=PNbCnnYi3SgYL4l3The Tape Part 2 https://youtu.be/g-y-YkaVXq0?si=aKJbsYTo1vwJjamLLINKSUAP Files IG: https://www.instagram.com/uap_files/UAP Files Podcast Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/35xbsPIEGls8y9K80cKGOG?si=8455d23c69464c64UAP Files TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@uap_files?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcUAP Files Substack https://uapf.substack.comUAP Files on X https://x.com/uapfilespodcast#UAPDisclosure #UFOTwitter #Metabunk #MickWest #UFOCommunity #AITruth #RewriteHistory #FactCheckTheFactCheckers #Grokapedia #SunlightIsTheBestDisinfectant #metabunk #uapfiles #uapfiles #ufonews #wikipedia #grokipedia #debunk #rebunk #debunkingthedebunks

Prepare for one of the most compelling UFO countdowns ever put together. In this video, we break down ten of the most convincing, officially recorded UFO encounters — from rare pilot sightings and government-released military footage to mysterious orbs caught by NASA and high-definition videos that have defied explanation for decades.From encounters above the clouds to strange visitors caught over volcanoes, from leaked space footage to official police and Navy recordings, every clip featured here has one thing in common: it’s real, verifiable footage that continues to puzzle experts, skeptics, and investigators around the world. Some of these cases were recorded long before the days of digital effects or AI, and others come straight from classified or military sources recently acknowledged by the Pentagon.We’ve spoken directly with witnesses, analysed the data, enhanced the imagery, and traced the origins of these incredible moments. Whether you’re a believer, a skeptic, or just fascinated by the unknown, these top 10 captures will make you question what’s really flying in our skies — and who might be behind the controls.Stick around for an honourable mention involving one of the most talked-about modern UAP incidents ever presented to Congress.

This video is a little different from my usual UFO/UAP content — but it’s one I really wanted to share.I recently had the chance to spend some time with Andrew (Andy) Goodall and the team at Warbird Experience, based in the UK around the midlands area. Andy kindly allowed me to film with him and his colleagues as part of a documentary coming out next year, which includes interviews with the crew, incredible footage of their aircraft, for a segment of the documentary that's coming out later next year and will feature a segment exploring the mysterious Foo Fighters reported by WWII pilots.Now, to be clear — Andy isn’t really into UFOs (and that’s fair enough!) — but he is a fascinating guy with one of the best day jobs imaginable. His passion for vintage aircraft, the history behind them, and the people who flew them is infectious. Spending time around these machines really does transport you back to a time when flying was as much art as science.So, if you’re here purely for the UFOs — this one might not be for you. But if you’re into aviation, WWII history, and warbirds that still roar through British skies today, stick around — you’ll love this.Huge thanks to Andy and the whole team for their generosity and for keeping these legendary aircraft alive for the next generation.Learn more about the WarBird experience: https://www.t6harvard.comWarbird Experience Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stories/warbirdexperience_uk/Subscribe to @UAPFilesPodcast for new deep-dives, interviews, and exclusive footage every week — and join the growing community uncovering the truth about what’s out there.Want to support the channel?
