Richard Dolan: They're Watching Us | Disclosure, UFO Files & The Hidden Battle Inside Government

In Part 2 of my extended conversation with Richard Dolan, we move beyond disclosure politics and into some of the deepest questions surrounding the UFO phenomenon.We discuss whether some aspects of the phenomenon may be darker than many researchers are willing to admit, why Richard believes humanity may be facing challenges of its own making, and what decades of UFO and USO reports suggest about the behaviour of the intelligence behind these encounters.Drawing on research from his new book, A History of USOs Volume 2, Richard explains how studying patterns across thousands of cases has changed his understanding of the phenomenon and what it may reveal about the long-term presence of these objects around our planet.We also discuss:  Whether the phenomenon has our best interests at heart   The listener question asking if Richard is "holding something back"   Alien behaviour and adaptation   Humanity's future and technological dependence   Why Richard fears human actions more than non-human intelligence   Historical and modern USO cases   Underwater UFO encounters   Behavioural patterns across decades of sightings   The USS Franklin D. Roosevelt case   How Richard researched and analysed thousands of reports   What the data may reveal about the phenomenon's intentions  This is Part 2 of a special extended conversation with Richard Dolan.Richards new book - https://amzn.eu/d/0f8bTqTs🔥 Support the show & get bonus content:🛸 YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHw9Lru3EcpRQyM7AI5TlmA/join🛸 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/ThatUFOPodcast🛸 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-ufo-podcast/id1511121397🛸 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wnXUAQ3vwdsX1BoyaEvjZ🛸 Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ThatUFOPodcast📲 Connect with the show:Twitter: @UFOUAPAMFacebook, Instagram & YouTube: That UFO PodcastYouTube: YouTube.com/c/ThatUFOPodcastEmail: [email protected] links: https://linktr.ee/ufouapamOfficial Website: ThatUFOPodcast.com👍 Don’t forget to subscribe, like & leave a review — it really helps!Thanks for listening,Andy

Breaking news: War.gov/UFO has released its third batch of UAP files, videos and NASA audio but does Release 3.0 actually move the conversation forward?Andy breaks down the new drop, including six newly released videos, several NASA audio files, and a batch of FBI, CIA, Department of War and AARO-linked documents. The headline themes this time are orbs, “plasma” sphere reports, digital recreations, and a notable Cheyenne Mountain/Fort Carson case involving a strange white, oval object witnessed by a former Army intelligence officer and others.But after the expectations set by Capitol Hill, David Grusch, the UAP Caucus and recent whistleblower momentum, this release raises a bigger question: is this transparency, or managed disappointment?A rapid reaction to Release 3.0, what stands out, what doesn’t, and why this may tell us where the official UFO file drops are really heading.🔥 Support the show & get bonus content:🛸 YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHw9Lru3EcpRQyM7AI5TlmA/join🛸 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/ThatUFOPodcast🛸 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-ufo-podcast/id1511121397🛸 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wnXUAQ3vwdsX1BoyaEvjZ🛸 Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ThatUFOPodcast📲 Connect with the show:Twitter: @UFOUAPAMFacebook, Instagram & YouTube: That UFO PodcastYouTube: YouTube.com/c/ThatUFOPodcastEmail: [email protected] links: https://linktr.ee/ufouapamOfficial Website: ThatUFOPodcast.com👍 Don’t forget to subscribe, like & leave a review — it really helps!Thanks for listening,Andy

Steven Spielberg returns to the world of UFOs with Disclosure Day, and I was lucky enough to see it early at the BFI IMAX in London.In this non-spoiler review, I give my first reaction to the film, how it handles the UFO topic, whether it feels connected to the current disclosure conversation, the performances, the tone, and whether people unfamiliar with the subject may come away seeing UFOs differently.No major plot spoilers here just my honest reaction, what worked, what surprised me, and why I think this is a film people in and around this topic will definitely want to see.🔥 Support the show & get bonus content:🛸 YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHw9Lru3EcpRQyM7AI5TlmA/join🛸 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/ThatUFOPodcast🛸 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-ufo-podcast/id1511121397🛸 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wnXUAQ3vwdsX1BoyaEvjZ🛸 Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ThatUFOPodcast📲 Connect with the show:Twitter: @UFOUAPAMFacebook, Instagram & YouTube: That UFO PodcastYouTube: YouTube.com/c/ThatUFOPodcastEmail: [email protected] links: https://linktr.ee/ufouapamOfficial Website: ThatUFOPodcast.com👍 Don’t forget to subscribe, like & leave a review — it really helps!Thanks for listening,Andy
