UAP Files Podcast

The following is a conversation with attorney Ivan Hannel Esq. Ivan joins me today reveal new information and a witness that could blow open the New Jersey drone mystery—and shatter AARO’s former Deputy Director Tim Phillips narrative. Ivan, who now represents former AATIP Director Luis Elizondo, discusses his journey into the UFO/UAP world, the legal complexities of representing one of the most famous figures in disclosure, and why Lue still needs legal protection despite no active lawsuits.We dig into the Wall Street Journal article on UFO misinformation, Ivan’s thoughts on mainstream media’s role in muddying the waters, and how UFO researchers and interested citizens are eating their time with the infighting with little benefit. A really refreshing look at how we can maximise our time focussing on solving the UAP problem, rather than wasting time caught up in the personalities.Plus so much more.Links: Ivan’s X Account: https://x.com/ivan_hannelUAP Files Instagram (main HQ): https://www.instagram.com/uap_files/Support/Donate to UAP Files/Podcast: https://coff.ee/uapfiles #UFOs #UAP #LuisElizondo #Disclosure #WSJ #NewJerseyDrones #AARO #IvanHannel #UFOInterview #UFOlawyer #uapfiles #uapfilespodcast #lueelizondo #luiselizondo #timphillips #seankirkpatrick #mickwest

What if the ships we’ve seen on screen weren’t just fiction… but foreshadowing?In this episode of The UAP Files Podcast, I countdown my Top 10 favorite and most influential UFO designs in movie history — from the peaceful tones of Close Encounters to the mind-bending terror of Nope. These ships aren’t just iconic… they’re eerily similar to the real UFOs and UAPs being discussed in Congress and by military whistleblowers today.Could Hollywood have been preparing us all along? Were these ships based on classified encounters? Or is something else using pop culture as a form of familiarisation?We’ll connect each movie to real-world sightings, whistleblower claims (like David Grusch & Bob Lazar), and recent U.S. government UAP hearings.WATCH UNTIL THE END to see how these ships might be more real than you think — and what it means for the future of disclosure.Subscribe for more deep dives into UAPs, disclosure, and the strange overlap between reality and fiction.Featuring:The X-Files, Independence Day, Arrival, Close Encounters, and moreReal cases: 1947 Kenneth Arnold, 1989 Belgian Wave, 1997 Phoenix LightsWhistleblower references: David Grusch, Bob Lazar, Luis ElizondoCongressional and DoD acknowledgments of UAP phenomena🎬 Full breakdown, cinematic visuals, real-world analysis.💬 Comment below: Which craft feels most real to you?Links:Top 10 UFOs - UAP Files Substack Article:Support/Donate to the UAP Files: https://buymeacoffee.com/uapfiles#UAP #Disclosure #UFOs #Hollywood #Top10UFOs #AlienCrafts #WhistleblowerTestimony #DavidGrusch #UFODisclosure #TheUAPFiles #uapfilespodcast #CloseEncountersOfTheThirdKind #TheDayTheEarthStoodStill #IndependenceDay #WarOfTheWorlds #FlightOfTheNavigator #District9 #StarTrekFirstContact #TheXFiles #ArrivalMovie #NopeMovie #UAP #UFO #Disclosure #UAPDisclosure #AlienCraft #HollywoodUFOs #MovieUFOs #SciFi #DavidGrusch #LuisElizondo #BobLazar #PhoenixLights #UFOSightings #WhistleblowerTestimony #UAPFiles #UFOCulture

Today, I have the absolute pleasure of introducing someone whose writing has truly stopped me in my tracks—Greg Scaduto. Greg is, without question, one of the most compelling and thoughtful writers I've come across. His voice—equal parts lyrical, grounded, and incisive—brings rare clarity to complex and often overlooked subjects.Through his Substack and recent open letter that struck a deep chord with many in the UAP community, Greg has emerged as a deeply engaged and eloquent voice in the UFO/UAP conversation. His ability to cut through noise with sincerity and insight is exactly why I wanted to share him—and his thinking—with all of you here on The UAP Files Podcast.Greg's Substack: https://substack.com/@gregcscaduto?r=3avcjy&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-pageGreg's X Account: https://x.com/GregoryScaduto Greg's article for the UAP Files: SUPPORT/DONATE:If you’re able, your support would be greatly appreciated 👇👇https://buymeacoffee.com/uapfilesSOCIALS Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/35xbsPIEGls8y9K80cKGOG?si=4NOHSSjpQzuhANmABYWCowApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/uap-files-podcast/id1741618111Discord: https://discord.gg/9YbE37qzxXSubstack: https://open.substack.com/pub/uapf?r=3avcjy&utm_medium=ios#UFOs #BROKENBUTREADABLE #UFO #UAP #NHI #GregScaduto #UAPFiles #UAPFilesPodcast #Phenomenology #Disclosure #ConsciousnessShift #OntologicalShock

What happens when a group of adventurers take on one of the most extreme environments on Earth… in vehicles that were never meant to be there? Meet Ivo and Josh — two of the adventurers behind Tuk South — a wild and ambitious expedition to drive modified tuk-tuks from the southern tip of Africa… all the way to the North Pole.Documenting every challenge, breakdown, border crossing, and beautiful horizon, their journey is as much about the human spirit as it is about pushing machines to the edge. But one night, somewhere out there on the road — under a vast and silent sky — something extraordinary happened.A massive, unidentified object lit up the clouds above them and the ground below them, streaked overhead, and changed the mood of their mission in an instant. Naturally, I had to reach out.Despite being stranded at the roadside when I contacted them, they generously took the time to talk — and this conversation is the result.So sit back and enjoy this fun and compelling chat with Ivo and Josh of Tuk South along with some of their footage. Check them out and give them a follow, they’re great fun!

However GPT4.0 provided the following. In mid-April 2025, SpaceX conducted multiple Starlink payload launches from the U.S., including: • April 14, 2025 – Starlink 12‑21 mission • April 21, 2025 – Starlink 12‑22 missionIt’s quite unlikely that what was seen on Good Friday, April 18, 2025 at 8 pm local time in southern Chilean Patagonia was the result of a local rocket launch there—Patagonia doesn’t host orbital launch sites or scheduled launches on that date.There was a rocket launch around that time in China: Long March 6A successfully launched the Shiyan 27 fleet of six satellites from Taiyuan, China, at 22:51 UTC (10:51 pm UTC) on April 18, 2025, which is roughly in that time frame, though unusual visual characteristics with reports it illuminated the ground and clouds and the distance and trajectory.

UAP Files Podcast S3E29 | Ezra Kelderman returns to the show — and this time, he’s fresh from Contact in the Desert, bringing with him first-hand accounts, wild insights, and stories that blur the line between reality and the unknown. A longtime friend of the podcast, Ezra dives deep into his recent experiences: from witnessing a CE5-style event under the stars with Chris Bledsoe, to mingling with major UFO personalities, to the jaw-dropping telepathic displays demonstrated by the Telepathy Tapes collective.This is more than a recap — it's a revealing look into the cutting edge of consciousness, contact, and the growing movement of experiencers changing the way we understand non-human intelligence. Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, Ezra’s observations from this year’s conference, from the brilliant engineering mind of Harvard's Galileo Project manager, working alongside Prof Avi Loeb, will leave you questioning our perception of reality.#UFOs #CE5 #ContactInTheDesert #EzraKelderman #ChrisBledsoe #Telepathy #AlienContact #UAPs #Disclosure #Extraterrestrial #Consciousness #TheTelepathyTapes

The following is a conversation with Zoltan Bathory.Zoltan is the founder of Five Finger Death Punch. He’s a black belt in both Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and Judo, and one of the sharpest minds out there. Sure, he’s a rockstar, but he’s also a deep thinker who’s just as comfortable talking UFOs, simulation theory, and quantum mechanics as he is melting faces on stage. And yes, he’s wearing glasses today — not because he’s an a-hole, but because he caught a shiner rolling on the jiu-jitsu mats - his words… In this episode we discuss UFOs and UAPs, theorise quantum mechanics and this life experience being all part of some kind of computer game and talk a little about performing on stage.As a fan of 5FDP this was a real bucket list moment for me. Zoltan was a lot of fun to talk to and I cant wait to share it with you.Links:Zoltan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zoltanbathory?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==5FDP: https://fivefingerdeathpunch.comUAP Files Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/uap_files/SUPPORT/DONATE:If you’re able, your support would be greatly appreciated 👇👇https://buymeacoffee.com/uapfilesSOCIALS Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/35xbsPIEGls8y9K80cKGOG?si=4NOHSSjpQzuhANmABYWCowApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/uap-files-podcast/id1741618111Discord: https://discord.gg/9YbE37qzxXSubstack: https://open.substack.com/pub/uapf?r=3avcjy&utm_medium=ios#ZoltanBathory #FiveFingerDeathPunch #ufos #SimulationTheory #uap #FFDP #5FDP #uapfiles #uapfilespodcast #MATRIX #QUANTUMMECHANICS #ufo #simulation #callofduty
