Open Minds UAP News

Area 51, the most secretive facility in the US, became the most famous due to the claims of Bob Lazar. He said he worked at a lab near Area 51 where he saw crashed alien spacecraft and was told about alien beings. However, the full story of Lazar and his checkered past has not been fully told. In this episode, I tackle this wild tale of a man who has some serious credibility issues.UFO Articles covered in this episode:Rep. Eric Burlison, David Grusch & AARO walk into a SCIF...

SpaceX is deploying satellites at an unprecedented rate and using newly developed technology to do it. From lift-off to deployment to orbit, SpaceX satellites and rocket stages are producing spectacular views. It is no wonder even pilots are mystified by what they are looking at. In this video, I review many of the amazing UFO videos submitted to the Enigma Labs app that have turned out to be SpaceX-related.Enigma Labs reports included in this report:https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/294750https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/291275https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/290701https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/289632https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/292463https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/295187https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/294125https://enigmalabs.io/sighting/294232Enigma Labs website: https://enigmalabs.io/Enhancing Space Situational Awareness to Mitigate Risk: A Single-Case Study in the Misidentification of a Recently-Launched Starlink Satellite Train as a UAP in Commercial Aviation: https://arxiv.org/abs/2403.08155Articles referenced: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-13392685/UFO-captured-flying-California-Utah-Nevada-Arizona-states-surrounded-hazy-light-disappearing-without-sound.htmlBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/open-minds-uap-news--6161161/support.

Recently he received documents showing the correspondence between the DoD and alleged UFO whistleblower David Grusch. Grusch has claimed, including on the record during a congressional hearing, that DoD’s AARO UAP program has not reached out to him. New documents may show otherwise.
