In the video you're about to watch, we reveal some extremely hardcore details about how UFO programs actually work. Spoiler alert, it involves rounding up people

from third world countries who have psychic capabilities to systematically summon or lure in UFOs. It also involves electromagnetic pulse weaponry used to down these crafts. And of course, it involves reverse engineering the technology. What you end up with is a parallel reality, a breakaway technology chain, and the ability to hide all of these things and mountain and undersea bases all over the world that are sometimes jointly operated by non-humans and humans.

But before we get into that, we've got to back up and report on the latest UFO news, because Because the government isn't talking about any of these darker details we'll get into in this video. But they are beginning to admit that UFOs are real. And we have come a long way. I mean, even Neil deGrasse Tyson is now admitting that all of this stuff is probably real. When these people of high rank started reporting, I said, all right, I have to jump in here. On May 8, 26, the Department of War released hundreds of UFO release. documents, video, and audio, with President Trump ordering the release of government files

related to ET life and UFOs, posting a very pointed message to the American people. The Department of War's UFO release web page already has 500 million hits on it since then. That is more than the entire population of the United States. If you haven't already seen the drop, it's not the vault we were hoping for with an Alien Autopsy Tape, pictures of historical crash retrievals like Roswell, or a little gray in a freezer at Wright-Patterson. The release was pretty vanilla. It was more like a UFO starter pack.

A lot of the documents in this drop weren't even newly declassified despite being presented that way. They'd been hiding in plain sight for ages. Now they're just getting a stamp of approval. Again, if that's what it takes for the academic and scientific consensus to shift, and to convince people like Neil deGrasse Tyson to admit this stuff is real, then they weren't doing science in the first place. They were just waiting for establishment institutions

to make it acceptable for them to look into this stuff. On the other side of this issue, a lot of people are asking, why now? Is this some sort of narrative distraction from more prosaic but darker trends in Iran, around Epstein, or whatever else? Because the timing and the motivation of this UFO data dump does seem cynical.

And I'm sure it is. I'm sure it is a distraction from Epstein, Iran, and all sorts of other problems we have. And yet, a lot of these podcasters and independent media are now flipping on UFOs entirely calling it a sci-op. This is also not good first principles thinking. UFOs can be very real, of serious consequence to the nature of reality, and they might also be getting used as a distraction. Those two things aren't mutually exclusive. Someone can tell you to look at the moon and pick your pocket, but that doesn't make the moon the moon fake. Give the people some blurry videos they have no hope of making sense of, drown the truth out in static, and call it transparency. Release a poorly curated batch. Don't separate the wheat from the chaff. And if something draws a bad reaction, find some way to stigmatize it after the

fact. If people react well to the drop, continue to inch forward. But the release of this new information wasn't entirely meaningless. And it's especially hard to laugh off in one particular place. space. You see, this whole drop puts NASA, our premier civilian space agency, in a bind. Because they've been playing dumb about their own astronauts seeing UFOs, and they've been gaslighting the public since their inception in 1958. NASA is not a place that's going to hide its head in the sink. That's kind of harder to do when the Department of War, the Pentagon itself is now admitting that these astronaut sightings were actually unresolved. Astronaut Gene Sernan, the last man to walk on the moon, experienced bizarre flashes,

distant blinking objects, and even getting hit with blinding flashes of light in the dark while he slept, like a train coming at you only with a flash. Gene goes on to insist, something is out there, and Houston says, we don't doubt it, Gene. Now this is all very serendipitous because I just got back from Japan, where I spent a lot of time with a NASA historian there named Takenau Jousin. Jowson happened to be a very close friend of Gene Sernitz. And then he went on to reveal something absolutely mind-blowing to me. U-H-U-4.Mit to me.

Why are you sure? I'm, I'm, uh, Paul 17th of captain, Jean Sarnan-Saint-Chairn and, uh, to know-huh, and go to, each of, and, you know, and eat-shoulders, or other than dinner-st or other than, or something had. Really? I've asked a

Why did why Apollo was to the end of then he said

he said never come and really? This earhon right this

on right to I don't think to the skeptics out there that Takenau Jiaosen was

coordinated at all with the Pentagon. But as Houston said, we don't doubt it, Jean. What you know if you watch this show is that things like this happen all the time. Disparate data points from around the world, all corroborating the same UFO truths.

You see, the government wants a slow and steady disclosure drip, but at American Alchemy, we want to speed things up. Maybe the best way to expose the real UFO truth isn't in this Department of War data dump. But in a sci-fi book, written by whistleblower and former American Alchemy guest, Jake Barber. It's so blatant and in your face and so real, it doesn't register as exciting, you know, in that format. Who is Jake Barber, you ask? He's a pilot, former Air Force, Gracie Blackbelt, and he's an all-American badass. On paper, he was an Air Force aircraft mechanic. But that was just a cover. He held a NATO top-secret security clearance, deployed on presidential support missions, hunted war criminals in Bosnia, and later slipped into the shadows as a contractor flying UFO crash retrievals as a helicopter pilot.

And according to Jake, one of those crafts that he retrieved seemed to be alive, with a consciousness of its own attached to it. And for a few terrifying moments mid-flight, that consciousness possessed him. Jake was the black hand of an unnamed aerospace giant. He won't say who, but here's a clue. Look, man, if you took two guesses, you'd get both of them right on the first try. There you go. When I interviewed Jake, his claims were so wild and so ahead of the curve that most people's brains just bounced right off them and into the comments section to roast Logan Paul's cameo instead.

And what happened there is kind of the point. Jake's novel is called Sentinels of Ether, and it's written by a ghost writer under the pen name, Alvin. Douglas. I'm linking the manuscript in the description of this video. This was a novel deemed so dangerous by the Pentagon that they spent six months reviewing just 20 pages of the book. They escalated it to subject matter experts in classified special access programs and came back with seven pages of redactions. And that was just from 10% of the full 120,000 word manuscript. Why would the Pentagon redact fiction. Maybe it's because it wasn't. The best kept secrets don't need to be classified. They're just too insane to be taken seriously. They're self-stigmatizing. So when the truth is just

too strange, you disguise it as fiction. In this episode, we want to get into exactly how the black UFO program actually works. I'm talking about disclosure at a whole new level, hidden in plane site. Aerospace programs recruiting psychics from third world countries. In fact, they are often drugged, microchipped, and used like human joysticks to fly these UFOs. I'm also talking about underground bases hidden all over the world, and I'm talking about holograms and nanotechnology used to create entryways into these mountain bases that only open up for certain people with certain biosignatures. And finally, I'm talking about protocols that can help anyone, you included, attract and see UFOs, and maybe call one to your bedroom window. Protocols that the government has

been exploiting in hidden programs for decades. So what's the real secret that the Pentagon doesn't want you to know? The ability for any person to connect to this phenomenon or attract it like a human antenna is real. The big secret isn't a mothership. It's you. Your own human nature that's far more magical than the happy accident of random atomic interactions we're told about in school. If anything, that worldview of materialist reductionism, that's the sigh off. So keep your eyes peeled, because tonight we're going inside the book the Pentagon doesn't want you to read.

We'll decode what's real, what's fiction, and what's hiding five miles east of Koyama, Mexico. Today's episode is sponsored by Incogni. Many of our guests are scientists, researchers, and engineers working on some of the most exotic technology with implications that could change the course of history. And for people exploring the nature of reality, privacy is a prerequisite. People aren't paranoid. They're just operating in spaces where what's findable about them actually matters. They want to reduce their online footprint as much as humanly possible. Most people have no idea how much of their information.

Before we hit play on Sentinels of Ether, we need to roll the tape back on Jake Barber. We were running operations, let's say, more attuned for the UAP. Because before there was ever a manuscript, there was an operation. Jake worked for a private company embedded inside Legacy Aerospace, Need to know operations.

No questions asked. But Jake's routine missions for his employer gradually evolved into something more ominous. He was sent on what looked like a high-stakes scavenger hunt, tracked down some missing Panasonic toughbooks, ruggedized laptops meant to endure extreme environments. And it's believed on these tough books

was highly sensitive information that was evidence to CR programs. Sensor data and video footage that might be classic. classified and incriminating proof of UFO crash retrieval operations. We received human intelligence that gave us the intel package we needed to pursue where we thought the first set of tough books might be. A recovery team was sent and we found the tough books.

I'm not going to say where and we returned them to our employer. The tough books were missing the hard drives. We then set out to recover the hard drives. Our human asset led us to another location. high in the Sierras, which was a glacier lake, and the hard drives were sealed in a steel container like 25 feet underwater. Don Paul Bales, a 25-year military

and law enforcement veteran, later confirmed that he worked under Jake on this same operation. Technically, I did not work for them, I worked for Jacob. And by the next mission, something felt off. He was given a new intel contact,

new coordinates, a new chain of command. command. The whole operation had a different fingerprint. When his team finally reached the target location, an ambush was waiting. The next mission we went out on, I'll just tell you that shots were fired and we called bullshit. And that's when we began to backtrack and set out with our own effort to find out exactly who we were working for and what they were interested in. From an insider leak, we now know that the programs documented on these tough books used temporary flight restrictions to clear the skies, lure UFOs in, and bring them down with EMP weaponry.

For the uninitiated EMP means electromagnetic pulse. It's basically the electromagnetic fallout you would experience with a nuke without the nuclear blast. But it gets even darker. Apparently, civilian aircraft had also been taken down after entering this restricted airspace, with the bodies and wreckage disposed of. If even a fraction of that was sitting on those tough books, they were a massive liability. Not only did Jake's employer want to destroy the tough books with evidence of crash retrievals,

they also wanted to destroy him. The plausible deniability button that people at the top can hit, in order to protect themselves, would sever us as the hidden hand. So Jake does what any good operative does when the mission burns. He burns it back. He and his teammate turned their special ops spy craft

back against their own employer, and indirectly, the UFO legacy program itself. Jake's weapon of choice isn't a gun. It's a manuscript. In Dobser, the Defense Department pre-publication review, is the system designed to silence him. For most people, it's a muzzle, but Jake turns it into a Trojan horse.

He teams up with a ghostwriter and begins crafting the manuscript, then slices it into 20-page chunks, and feeds them to Doppser. The first round took six months and came back with seven pages of redactions. Instead of killing his story, the redactions only served to confirm it.

You see, Jake used the redaction process backwards as a discovery tool. Normally, you know it's classified and you avoid it. But Jake submitted material he suspected was classified, then watched what the Pentagon blacked out. By drip feeding chapters, he could see which lines made the Pentagon flinch, adjust, probe, and slip real facts about the UFO legacy program into the public domain under the camouflage of fiction. The manuscript becomes a Trojan horse.

The Pentagon's own bureaucracy becomes the delivery mechanism. And buried in the pages is a trail of breadcrumbs hidden in plain sight. For most readers, it's just a thriller. But for those who know what to look for, it's a cipher, waiting for the right eyes to crack it open. And the clock starts ticking. Out in the badlands, just north of Cuyama, Mexico, Earth looks a lot like Mars.

Mesa's ripped sideways from tectonic violence. Rust and bone-white rock layers streak down canyon walls. Boulders sit in bizarrely impossible stacks like a Martian sculptor played Djingo with geology. There's no light pollution here, no highway glow, no city haze. When the sun drops, it's just you, the desert floor, and the whole galaxy staring back at you. Which means if you don't want to be seen, this is the perfect place to disappear. Welcome to Enigmatic Koyame, population 1,200 On paper, it's a sleepy border town, but ask around, and it's Mexico's Roswell. And that's not hyperbole.

It's literally the title of a book by researchers Noi Torres and Ruben Uriarte, who both documented decades of strange activity in the area. Locals constantly talk about colored lights that wink in and out around the mountain peaks, little orbs and square objects that seem to come out of the land-skirts. itself. And then there's the big one. In 1974, Koyama became the setting for one of the strangest crash stories on record, a mid-air collision between a small Mexican plane and a UFO.

A Mexican recovery team raced to the site but never came back. According to the leaked report that surfaced in the 90s, the whole Mexican team ends up dead, and the mystery object is airlifted out by US 14. out by U.S. forces. If you're imaginative, you might wonder if Koyame wasn't just a crash site. But has long been a sandbox for clandestine ops, perfectly isolated, with weird geology very good at hiding doorways to things that aren't supposed to exist.

The locals, they don't talk about the lights anymore. And if you ask too many questions, you might find out why. Alex McEwen, Tier 1 operator, 11 years in America's most elite units. Tonight, he's alone, escorting two dozen refugees through jagged desert terrain. Women and children who will die if he doesn't get them to extraction. Scout, this is H1. We are here for extract. LZ is 100 meters to the south. Do you copy? They're early, and his team is still behind him somewhere. Extraction without the unit wasn't the plan.

H1, I copy. What is your 20? Alex hits them with a code that's known as a verbal IFF. A code only people on this classified op should know. He gets the right answer. So he waves the refugees forward. But here's what Alex doesn't know. These refugees weren't just lucky enough to have a Tier 1 escort. Someone very powerful wanted them here.

Barber claims that some of these Black Aerospace programs, had a very specific need. People untouched by modern civilization, often from third world countries, psychically uncorrupted. And displaced people, refugees, victims of natural disaster, they're perfect. No passport, no paper trail,

no one who'd know if they went missing. Fed into a UFO legacy operation that most people will never hear about. All the program would need is a reason for them to disappear, that no one would question. A natural disaster works just fine. So does border crossing, so does geopolitical conflict. That's when Alex sees it.

A second helicopter, even bigger, carrying a steel Konex shipping container with a mini split HVAC unit bolted to its roof, slung beneath the chopper like a coffin on a hook. According to Barber, this is how they moved them. These refugees aren't being rescued. They are the cargo. Stop.

What were in my hands. Three figures materialize from the dust. They move fast, efficient, predatory. Alex knows immediately. These aren't friendlies coming to help. Their gear is a Frankenstein mashup of high-end helmets, comms, and lightweight armor. One guy's pants are tucked into his converse all-stars. Does this sound at all like military to you?

Two men beeline for him as the third heads up a hill and shoulders around. rifle aimed at Alex's skull. And then something happens that chills Alex's blood. They call him by name. His stomach drops. That's when things go sideways. They rip the rifle from him and break it down like a pit crew before tossing it. Don't even fucking blink, bro. He's outgunned three to one, with a rifle pointed directly at his head from elevation. They blindfold Alex and zip tie his wrists. One of them pulls out a strange handheld device. Something like a bioscanner. He sweeps Alex with it from head to toe. A wand hunting for trackers and biometric chips? These guys are professionally trained, not random desert smuggers. He doesn't have it. Man one steps close. Man three

holds the high ground, rifle steady. Man one raises his hand, gives a silent signal, and Somewhere above, a trigger is pulled. A 7.62 round tears through Alex's right shoulder, clavicle pulverized, shattering bone and flesh, a second signal and a second shot. His throat explodes, drowning in his own blood. A third signal, third shot, his face is obliterate. His body drops back, cold, lifeless, face to the stars. Or what's left of his face, that is.

The entire universe of Alex McEwen blinked out like a dying star, sudden and violent. Children bury their faces. Some of the women don't look away. It's almost as if they've seen worse. Alex McEwen, Tier 1 operator, Patriot, now just a corpse in the Chihuahuan Desert. He believed he died serving his country. But the men who killed him were clearly serving something else. Cut to Pope Air Force Base, North Carolina, where inside, joint specials.

Special Operations Command, or J-Soc, their operations center. Everyone's frozen. The Secretary of Defense himself is on the other end of the call. And he is not happy. Dale, happened down there. General Dale Steinmaker, commander of Joint Special Operations Command, is wondering the exact same thing. Uh, Mr. Secretary, do you have agency guys in Koyama, Mexico?

Why the fuck would I? Everyone's at war. Nobody should be in goddamn Mexico. But the drone feed tells a different story. Someone just took out an entire special mission unit on J-Soc's watch. The predator drone had caught the whole ugly scene. Alex's execution, the refugees being loaded into the shipping container,

and now the helicopters lifting off into the desert, human cargo in tow. Black on block, sir. Excuse me, gentlemen. The difference here matters. Blue on blue is friendly fire. Tragic, but explainable. Black on black is a nightmare.

Covert operators killing covert operators. Shadow versus shadow. Whoever did this wasn't supposed to be there. The thermal signatures of six bodies cool in the sand. The combat controller called for air support, but bled out mid-sentence. All right, vector F. F-18s out of white sands, I want every eye in the sky on those helicopters. Wherever they're going, we're going there first.

Within minutes, satellites pivot over Koyame. Half a dozen airborne assets spin up in Vector South. Restricted Area 5107, the largest military installation in America. 3,200 square miles of nothing but sand in secrets. This is where they detonated Trinity, the first atomic bomb. July 16th, 1945. Since then, it's been a war games wasteland. Eagle One and Eagle II.

Top Gun graduates yanked off a training mission and thrown straight into the real thing. Eagle flight, what is your load out? Not fatal. Negative for ordinance. How about a show of force instead? Translation? Scare the hell out of them and force them to land. Just don't kill them.

They want answers, not corpses. Five miles out, the helicopters dropped into a descent. They sink below the canyon walls and vanish. Back in the war room, the radar blip blinks out. They lost radar contact. Radar is line-of-sight technology. Terrain blocks it. Fly low enough, hug the Earth tight enough,

and you disappear. In skilled aviation circles, this is called Nap of the Earth flying. And these pilots know exactly what they're doing. Eagle One drops to 8,000 feet. Night vision goggles on, scanning. Talley 2. Two helicopters and beneath the bigger one still spinning on its cable, the container full of human cargo. Eagle One calls them out over guard frequency 243 megahertz, the International Emergency Frequency, and orders them to land.

But the helicopter flight of two with the external load east of Coyama in Mexico. This is the United's Navy F-18. You are instructed to land immediately. But the helicopters hold course, refusing to ID yourself and ignoring a Navy intercept, Balzie. If this part is true, we know more about where to knock and who to use the Freedom of Information Act on, NORAD under U.S. Northcom, J-S. Special Operations Command, plus the Navy. And we know what to ask for.

Incident reports and air defense logs on unknown aircraft in the Koyama Corridor in 2004 that ignored guard frequency 243 megahertz and blew off a Navy intercept. Something I've noticed doing this show for years is that the biggest ideas usually hinge on one strange specific detail. Gary McKinnett describing a spreadsheet of non-terrestrial officers. Howell put off, explaining why CIA remote viewer, tested their abilities in deep waters on submarines. Diana Pesolka, realizing that the Vatican Observatory knew more about UFOs than met the eye.

These are key details that completely change how you understand someone's story. And if you're not capturing those details, they're gone. I've been getting into Plod Note Pro lately exactly for this reason, because the same thing happens to me outside the studio too. I'll be walking around, thinking through something a recent guest said on a podcast, and suddenly a connection clicks between that and something

another guest said two years earlier. This is one of the clearest examples I've found personally of the real utility behind AI. This product is ridiculously easy to use, one press to start recording, and then I press it again to highlight a moment I want to come back to. It will take comprehensive notes for you about everything that transpires. You can also add text notes or images, so it's not just raw audio floating around somewhere. Then when I get back home, Plod turns everything I've said into an organized summary, and I can actually ask questions about what I recorded. I can ask things like, what was that connection I made between Thomas Townsend Brown and time travel? Or what was that thing I said around the 10-minute mark about Bob Lazar? And Plod will pull the answer directly from the recording.

That's the difference. You're not just saving audio. This isn't your average AI note-taker. You're building a searchable archive of your own thoughts. As you can see, the Note Pro is credit card thin, has up to 50 hours of battery, and it handles both in-person conversations and phone calls without switching modes. So head to Plod.a-a-I-alchemy to learn more. That's p-l-a-u-d.a-i-slash-alchemy, and use code Alchemy 10 at checkout. Thanks so much to Plod for sponsoring today's episode. But back to the story. After the intercept doesn't work, Eagle One decides to get their attention the old-fashioned way. But as he lines up the pass, something's wrong.

The gorge dead ends into a mountain so massive it eats the stars. 1,500 feet of vertical rock. No way around, no way over, no escape. So what is this? A suicide run? Then everything goes to the same. everything goes wrong at once. In the war room, the drone feed dies. At the same time, Eagle One's cockpit goes black. Flight controls dead. Engines dead. 200 feet from the ground,

at near supersonic speed, the jet becomes a dead weight. He has milliseconds to choose, ride the coffin into the mountain, or punch out at speeds that can rip human bodies apart. The Math is ugly, and an homage to the first man to ever eject from a cockpit at supersonic speeds, he double grips the handle and pulls. 8,000 feet above, Eagle 2 can't breathe. His oxygen system is dead, so are his generators. He rips off his mask, fighting through his own electrical failure. Systems flicker back online, he looks down.

The jets gone, but the helicopters are still flying straight at the face of Mount Mexico. The mountainside starts to pixelate. It dissolves from 3D to 2D to nothing as the helicopters slip through and vanish from one world into another. Entering a massive chamber made of stone and steel beams. Outside, the electromagnetic force field re-energizes to the illusion of solid rock. To the outside world, it looks like they've been. But inside, they've just arrived. Home.

Call it a black site, a breakaway base, or something worse. We don't have a name for it yet. What we do have is a body count that shouldn't exist, and a story that leaves more questions than answers. An elite American operator executed in the desert by unknown forces using U.S. authentication codes, a J-S.-Ock mission burned from the inside out, a weapon system that can surgically blast drones and F-18s with an elect

electromagnetic pulse. Missing refugees, human beings, loaded into a shipping container, ferried by unmarked helicopters across the desert, and chased by U.S. fighter jets to a holographic mountain in Mexico that isn't a mountain, but a door. And behind it, a secret underground facility. The fact that the general is asking the Secretary of Defense if another agency is running an unsanctioned op in Mexico,

tells us their worst fear. The enemy isn't foreign. It's domestic, but it's not under normal chains of command. And if that's true, then this isn't just a botched mission in the Koyame Desert. It's the tip of something much bigger. So who's really running this show, and how deep does this parallel world actually go? June 12, 2023, the National Press Club event in Washington, D.C. After years embedded in covert crash retrieval operations, Jake attends a National Press Club conference hosted by Stephen Greer. Thank you. Stephen Greer is notorious for getting in touch with people on the inside of the UFO legacy program and helping draw publicity to their stories. Usually, he's going for the most disgruntled defectors.

Jake shows up at the event and is there to Red Team the whistleblowers. We were actually sent there on behalf of our employer to look for whistleblowers that we were trying to basically report to the FBI and get arrested. Because at that time, I was in this weird place between becoming a whistleblower or rounding up the whistleblowers and shutting them up. Essentially, figure out what they know, do a threat assessment, and report back to headquarters. Somewhere out there are a few missing Panasonic Toughbooks loaded with highly sensitive material. And Jake thinks one of these guys might be about to spill what's on them. Then Michael Herrera takes the stage. Herrera was a Marine with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit.

He described a 2009 mission in Indonesia. A civilian evacuation following a catastrophic earthquake and tsunami. Sounds kind of familiar, right? In 2009, my unit, which was a most decorated infantry battalion in the entire Marine Corps, which was 2nd Battalion 5th Marines, was called into do humanitarian assistance operations out in the Philippines, which was Operation Kitsana. His unit was flown deep into the jungle with no comms, no signal, and no civilians. His six-man team pushes to high ground, to a hill thick with vegetation,

and that's when they see it, a craft. And right there was something that stuck out like a sore thumb, especially with jungle terrain, things like that. Vegetation, very green stuff, was something that stuck out so well. It's always going to be basically imprisoned in my mind for the rest of my life, and it has been for 14 years, was something that was rotating. And it was transitioning between colors like, a light matte gray as well as a dark matte black.

So in between, that's what it kept, and it was very smooth. You can see that the craft here actually had roughly about 300 feet. And the reason why I know this is because you can fit three of the helicopters that we flew in on underneath this craft. 300 feet across. Octagonal, Matt, or what he describes as Vanta black. It's so black that it almost looks like dark matter, like. like light itself isn't interacting with this craft.

It hovers just above the canopy with a subsonic hum. Before they can process what they're looking at, they're intercepted. An eight-man paramilitary unit. No insignias, no IDs, moving in fast, rehearsed and ready to kill. They disarmed the Marines, scan them with a bioscanner, and hold them at gunpoint. The message is clear. You were not supposed to see this. And if you talk, we will kill you.

I know what you're thinking. The Indonesian jungle sounds a lot like the Mexican desert. While this is all happening, Herrera sees some trucks roll up with shipping containers and HVax mounted on top. He assumed they were moving drugs. But hearing Michael Herrera's testimony, Jake knew better. He had the missing piece of Michael's puzzle. I have no firsthand experience with that operation, nor direct.

contact with anyone involved with it. I know of that type of operation. I know of that craft. I know of those containers. He'd seen those containers before. Those units that they used are consistent with the workstations we use when we're out on the range. There are many split HVAC systems that are used up there.

And they weren't hauling drugs. They were hauling people, kids. There are operations Oconus outside the continental United States where, prospecting for psionic assets takes place and they're highly coveted. And the interesting thing is, is I hear in those programs that there's something valuable about the life experience in third world countries. In that, it seems as though people that live a simpler life and are outdoors more and have

less contaminants in their food and their drugs and in their culture seem to be a little bit better at disassociating and heightening their intuition. Remember the refugees from Jake's manuscript? Those were psionic assets being funneled into programs that don't exist on any budget. People being forced into heightened states of consciousness in order to summon UFOs. How in the hell do you get like the humans and they say, oh no, it is natural disasters. They said actually, sadly, the unaccompanied minor crisis and the caravans that just had like kind of unaccountable swaths of humans in Central America, running up through the Dary and Gath and across the U.S.-Mexico border.

And then they said the Ukraine war. Jake knew Michael Herrera was legit. I saw a good Marine up there when I saw Mike. I saw a brother in arms doing his best to be put now with a microphone in his face in a fucking suit and tie in Washington, B.C. when he's cut out to be carrying a saw, through the jungle and now he's doing his best and he's an honest good guy and I wasn't going to let him hang. So instead of continuing to red team Michael and run counterintel on him, he decided to join forces. We know that the CIA's Office of Global Access is rumored to coordinate closely with JSO and NEST or nuclear emergency support teams for UFO crash retrievals. We also know that

the Department of Energy has protective forces. Elite units with legal authority under the Atomic Energy Act to move and guard highly sensitive material outside the normal DoD chain of command. They're described as elite fighting forces that operate in all combat environments. The protective forces here are recruited by private companies, but trained and commanded by defense nuclear security, a program under the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration. Were these the guys who threatened Herrera in the jungle? We don't know, but it sounds like from the lack of insignias and mismatched uniforms, it's likely some Black World paramilitary belonging to a private defense contractor and one that's designed

to be completely untraceable and confuse anybody it runs into. So if you're running an unacknowledged Black World Hit Squad, where do you park it? You need more than a base. You need a mirage. And these are the last words he told me. He said, Jim, we We have things out in the desert that's 50 years beyond what you can comprehend, and he knows I can comprehend a hell of a lot.

So what's going on here? Let's start with the obvious theory. It's just a hologram. We know that the military's been flirting with holographic warfare for decades. In 1999, reporter William Arkin wrote an article about a 1994 Air Force concept for a holographic projector. Massive 3D illusions in the sky intended for. for SciOps. As a side note, people should deeply investigate this tech tree,

especially as it concerns normal UFO sightings. The problem here is a partial mountain-sized 3D hologram visible from multiple angles is an insane power bill. You're talking brutal energy requirements just to fake a rock. And yet, the lore runs deep. Billionaire UFO enthusiast Robert Bigelow says that Bob Lazare described a holographic book

at S4 Area 51, that's a lot of, that's like an alien Kindle. Bob's story is so much more in depth, so much more detailed, like that book. Tell people about the book. It was some kind of a holographic book that as you opened up the pages, whatever the stories were became a hologram.

Stephen Greer talks about a whistleblower who allegedly saw Raytheon projecting UFO-like craft as a part of a false invasion scenario. Here is the Raytheon triangle at Fort Earl one, that is man-made. And the guy who saw it in detail, because he picked up some night skits he was told not to, saw that there was this one, and then they were holographically projecting several others. This could be used in a false alien invasion, you know, like a hoaxed invasion. And then that later, he and his wife got abducted by this thing. Yeah. And tortured.

Whoa. And it was Raytheon. Then you have whistleblowers like Randy Anderson, who says he was taken underground at Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center in Indiana and shown a metallic gauntlet with a crystalline screen. And above it, symbols that looked almost holographic. I'm looking at it and it almost looked like a mirage type of effect. And above that display screen were these hieroglyphic symbols that I started to see appear. The projection appeared integrated into reality itself. far more advanced than normal holograms. So advanced hologram tech?

Maybe. But Koyame does get hammered by thunderstorms during monsoon season. And a giant mountainside light show feels like the last thing you'd ever want riding on perfect weather. One glitch in your billion dollar cover is blown. So that's a lot of faith to put into a hologram. So what if it's something that seems like a hologram but isn't? Back in the day, I used to chug coffee like I was prepping for a quantum jump. But then I'd crash like my nervous system got slingshotted through a kaleidoscope.

Anxiety spiking, aura flickering, and REM sleep never matter. It was like drinking battery acid on an empty stomach. Then I found mudwater. It doesn't fry my circuits or my synapses. I use mudwater's original blend over ice. It still has a little bit of caffeine, but it's stacked with adaptogens and utropics like elthianine, chaga, lines mane, cacao. the whole Earth squad to keep you naturally energized

Now we have to add an asterisk here.

This technology is theoretical, so let's treat this as a thought experiment. Imagine robots the size of glitter, roughly 100 microns, that don't just build things, they become things. Billions of tiny robots lock arms in 12 directions to form objects on command. then dissolve and reshape into something completely different. Remember the liquid metal Terminator from Terminator 2, that shapeshifting assassin that could morph on command? Nanotechnology foglets could make that real. And that's not just sci-fi fan fiction.

In 1989, scientists Dr. J. Stores Hall pitched the concept of utility fog, an active polymorphic material made up of trillions of foglets that link together to form solid, programmable matter. In 1993, he doubled down on it with a paper that was published at a NASA conference. Here's how it works. Each foglet is armed with its own extremely rudimentary nanocompute

and can talk to its neighbors. They can share power, data, and rearrange themselves into almost anything. A mountain should be pretty easy. Hall claims you could actually push this technology, to the point of creating a virtual world around you, you'd essentially get Star Trek's holodeck, one that could actually cut you and make you bleed. That's a direct quote from him.

All of the stuff you want out of a material, an intelligent morphing material, can be done simply by expanding or contracting the material and controlling that at a scale that ranges from seconds to, milliseconds. Unlike holograms, foglets have a physical presence. They could be your magic carpet, push you on a swing, shield you, slap you, or even become your best friend, if you really want to get weird. You could punch a foglet mountain and break your hand, but program it to recognize you,

and open sesame. They're essentially programmable matter, solid or permeable on demand. They could fake the gritty feel of sandstone and layered rock by dialing in just the right micro-vibrations for your skin to read as solid stone. But there's a catch. In Hall's original design, his foglets looked more like snow, not ideal for mimicking a desert mountain. But in interviews and other technical write-ups, he says his design could be enhanced with light-emitting antennae

to match color and optical properties in real time. Add that upgrade, run the foglets in pixel mode, and the outer skin basically becomes a 3D TV screen, blending into whatever you want it to. Now look at how the story describes the mountain's behavior. That's our next big tell that we might not be dealing with a simple hologram. As the helicopters are about to collide with the mountainside, its 3D appearance transitions to 2D, then pixelates into nothing.

If upgraded foglets exist, and that is a big if. We are admittedly engaging in extreme speculation here, so you should accept that caveat. But if they exist, this is the behavior you might expect to see. As the helicopters close in, foglets would start shifting formation, half their arms staying locked in lattice formation, while the rest drop out of rock mode, as the mountainside dissolves into flickering patches like pixels on a screen. From the cockpit, it would look like a 3D mountainside,

flattening into a weird shimmering 2D skin that breaks into pixels and dissolves as the helicopter passes through. The low frequency pulsing in the crew's headsets is another clue. It's not ambient sound. So one possibility is strong radio frequency emissions bleeding into their radio gear, a glitch that's known as audio rectification. If foglets were adapted for the real world, they'd likely be upgraded, with wireless real-time communication for swarm coordination.

So imagine trillions of foglets moving in coordinated waves, unlocking, shifting antenna arms, cycling their electrical states. That kind of swarm could generate the strong radio emissions and an audible pulsing you'd hear in your headset. A hologram wouldn't do any of this. Remember, in the novel, the drone and the F-18s suddenly lose power, while the helicopters slip right through the mountain untouched. In theory, if the mountain is really a trillion little foglets, each speck with its own brain, sensors, and comms, they could actually actually like a living electromagnetic warfare system. With each cubic inch packing 16 million processors,

they could jam specific signals, bleed power from drones while leaving others untouched, and run friend or foe codes so only approved aircraft get a clean pass. Returning helicopters could transmit the right codes to slip through, giving everyone else power failure and a not-so-gental escort into the dirt. Now this mountain in Sentinels of Ether could also be pure fiction. But crafts vanishing into mountains is a documented phenomenon, especially in places like the Uinta Basin.

If something lets objects slip through what looks like solid rock, we're probably beyond conventional technology and already playing in the Black World Sandbox. Foglets are just my best guess, but they aren't some wild stoner fantasy either. The DIA has openly mused about programmable matter for camouflage and invisibility. In the 1990s to 2000s, the idea of smart dust caught fire among sci-fi nerds everywhere, including some feds at DARPA, who began funding research on millimeter-scale autonomous sensing and communication nodes. While utility fog is still theoretical, the building blocks were active research areas back then. By 2001, DARPA was demonstrated

smart dust in field tests. By 2004, MEMS, or microelectro-mechanical systems technology, had matured significantly. Publicly, we know about DARPA's smart dust in creepy biohybrid insect cyborgs, but in the black world, we have no idea what exists. Hall himself, again the creator of this concept, has warned that a lot of the work needed for real nanotech got actively suppressed, which is why we're a bit behind on Star Trek replicators and nano-assemblers. And let's not forget about the Invention Secrecy Act of 1951.

This lets Uncle Sam classify and bury both government and private inventions, including patent applications in the name of national security. If something like utility fog exists in a classified program, filing a patent would amount to disclosure. So there's a reason no patents exist. The whole point of special access programs is to keep these capabilities hidden. You wouldn't telegraph that you've solved molecular nanotechnology. If you want to keep something a secret, you don't file.

And then you have Ben Rich, former head of Lockheed Skunkwork, saying things like, We already have the means to travel among the stars. But these technologies are locked up in black projects, and it would take an act of God to ever get them out to benefit humanity. Anything you can imagine, we already know how to do. Rich even claimed we have things out in the desert that are 50 years beyond what you could possibly comprehend. If you've seen it on Star Wars or Star Trek, we've been there and done that.

He also admitted that there are people in the intelligence world who want this breakthrough technology to stay in the black forever. And he's saying this in 1995, the same era Hall is pitching utility fog to NASA. So if Rich is right, then by the early 2000s, the public was still gawking at smart dust, while some special access program buried in the desert might have been playing with full-blown programmable matter, the kind of tech that could absolutely fake a mountain. Just look at what Ross Colthart and his sources have said about Bradshaw Ranch in Arizona. There is a portal in the United States. In fact, I suspect there are multiple.

But this particular portal is in a highly guarded facility that is used under the U.S. Forest Service cover. There are men with guns who patrol it. And there are witnesses who have seen people walking into literally a wall. So we have craft moving in and out of a mountain. We even have people walking through walls. Now let's talk psionics, the psychic summoning of UFOs, Jake Barber's Secret Sauce. We're told, and there's a whole movie made about it,

debunking the idea of telepathy in psychics and psionics. And yet you've only got to read the CIA gateway documents in the CIA files, and they show that that's actually not true. Yes. That essentially everybody took it very, very seriously. Jake Barber told Herrera that the paramilitary unit he encountered was transporting psionic assets, people with special intuitive abilities. What is real is the ability to go into something like a meditative state

and summon UAP and pilot UAP. That is real. That's 100% real. Wow. I have to process that for a moment because that is just the most extraordinary claim. He calls them P3s, or psionic predisposition potential. These aren't your average recruits. He personally sees it less like human trafficking and more like elite recruitment into specialized programs.

Although admittedly, reading a lot of these stories makes me pretty concerned about human rights violations. So when these P3s or psionic assets are recruited, what do they actually do? Jake describes them as intuitives, trained like assets in remote viewing, telekinesis, and the whole psychic toolkit. All of this is honed through specific protocols. Their job is to tap into what he calls the consciousness field. Think of it like a cosmic worldwide web, full of information everywhere all the time, invisible until you access it. A P3 is the receiver, the Wi-Fi antenna. According to Jake, there are two main attractions.

methods, machine-based systems, signals or energy systems that act like a beacon or dog whistle. After we turn on the dog whistle, UAPs literally come to us day after day. Or our man-based systems, trained psionics projecting an invitation through the field, essentially calling to whatever's monitoring it. To train a psionic asset, you have to shut down the overthinking brain and let intuition run point. Children are naturally better at this since they're usually more intuitive. Basically the plot of Stranger Things. Psychic kids being tested at Department of Energy National Labs.

Jake's consciousness-based attraction method is very similar to Stephen Greer's coherent thought sequencing, the core technique in his CE5 protocol. It's a meditation-based invitation system built on a similar premise, consciousness as a communication channel. Now I know Greer can be polarizing. At times he can be self-aggrandized. and just plain wrong about a whole lot. But he's stayed remarkably consistent on this one thing for decades,

and his contributions to UFO disclosure are incontrovertible. His system is all about non-local consciousness and laser-focused thought, with love and peace as the carrier signal. You basically run a cosmic Google Maps in your mind's eye, zooming in with mental imagery until you've dropped a pin on your exact spot. According to Greer, the craft picks up on a directed coherent, thought signal as clearly as a radio would pick up on an electromagnetic signal. Remember the words of Lockheed's Ben Rich, who said exotic propulsion systems work the same way ESP works. All points in time and

space are connected. Mind, body, and craft, integrated as one. Here's the basics of how it works. Coherent thought sequencing is like sending out your address by visually guiding the craft to your location through your mind's eye. You're essentially remote viewing space and then zooming in on your physical location. It actually even helps to use Google Earth beforehand to accurately visualize aerial shots of your location so your mental zoom in is razor sharp.

Here are the basics. Sit down, close your eyes, breathe. Now zoom out and expand into space. The stars shimmer as you scan the star field, remote viewing the cosmos. In a galaxy not so far away is our very own spiraling Milky Way. Push in on a twinkling dot on its arm. Flash forward to our solar system. Eight planets orbit the sun. Earth lights up. Dive towards our planet Earth. Continants come into view. North America, the United States. Your state lights up. Pin drop your city. Zoom in over your

town. Drop into a God's eye view of your neighborhood, street, the roof you're under, and finally, your exact spot, down to the chair you're sitting in. You are the pin drop on their map, broadcasting into the cosmos like a laser pointer. In this model, UFOs are directly coupled to their observer's consciousness. You're linking to both the ship's mind and its navigation system, and feeding it a visual vector it can lock onto. Optionally, if you have a legal safe line of sight and no aircraft in your sky, you can tag your location with a low-power laser into the star field overhead. Never shine a laser at aircraft or anywhere near their flight path.

That's a federal crime. So if you use this technique, use it responsibly. I would also add that your internal state before trying this is incredibly important. If you're going through a rough time or you have any sort of ulterior motives, you will probably get burned. Those negative emotions inside of you might get amplified by the contact experience. Calling these things into your purview can be very dangerous.

As with all of this stuff, there's a left-hand path and there's the right way to do it. But in its best instantiation, the idea is by extending your consciousness outwards, you become a lighthouse. You can essentially invite and lead the craft to you. When done in teams,

again, with a good vibe and intention associated with it, you can amplify the signal through collective focus. Multiple minds, one address. It's kind of like a synchronized love beam blasting straight into the fabric of space-time. But here is where it gets dark. There's just no way to put lipstick on this pig. Jake personally remembers an incident transporting a craft where his consciousness was disrupted, possibly because a psionic asset's consciousness was stuck inside the craft, or because the craft itself had a consciousness that connected to him while flying it to its drop point. There are some potential issues that can happen if the psionic acid is still connected to the craft.

I'm like bawling my eyes out, flying helicopter at night, like trying not to run into mountains and shit, and I'm like, oh my God, this is not good. I just felt like I was in the

presence of my mother. It was like a feminine energy. that was loving and sad and I don't know what it was. In leaks passed to the pseudonymous researcher, Joey is Not My Name, in 2023 by Michael Herrera, relayed to him through an insider we can now safely assume is Jake Barber before he went public. He paints a very grim reality. While psionic assets are taught how to communicate with ET and interface with ET tech, they're also chipped with a small tracking device and given a lot of heavy drugs because you have to be in a very positive, calm, happy mental state in

order to do it. After several years of this experimentation and drug use, a lot of these people die or slip into a coma. These people are essentially treated like biological equipment, maintained and then replaced when worn out. Historically and on the inside, the term sometimes informally used for psionic assets at these sites is pink assets. They've essentially been treated like experimental human meat. I'm sure many of these programs are run differently. Some might be far more ethical than others, but let's just call a spade a spade here. As Jake has explained, psionic flight doesn't come without risks, and it gets weirder. Allegedly, any random member of this unacknowledged special access program can't just hop in and fly a U.S.

if he's not sionically gifted. He'll get the silent treatment. The craft won't talk to him. It simply won't show up. According to this leak, in order to fly some of the ET craft, it has to be done through consciousness. A black group pilot can't fly an ET craft directly

if he doesn't have the psionic abilities. So they devised a way to connect a psionic person to an advanced brain machine interface, where the pilot can control the machine to control the person's intentions, and in turn control the ET craft. The psionic asset's mind turns into a psychic joystick. So this is where things get even weirder and more multi-layered.

There's a pilot behind this psionic asset that flies the UFO through the psionic asset, using the psionic asset's brain to route the UFO, commanding it through a machine, which converts those commands into neural patterns in the psionics brain, the craft's readable language. The psionic asset becomes a biological interface, a human drone wired into an exotic control system.

No psionic equals no flight. Pretty insane, right? Except the black world has been hinting at this for years. Let's go back again to Lockheed Skunkwork CEO Ben Rich, who allegedly compared advanced propulsion to ESP or extrasensory perception. Instant, nonlinear connections across space time. And then there's UFO whistleblower Don Phillips, also tied to Lockheed Skunkworks, saying that UFOs are a full-body connection and that humanity has the quickest computer built

into them. Humanity has the quickest computer built into them than any man-made computer can ever approach, and that includes the Kray computer. Phillips also riffs on the Firefox movie's mind-controlled helmet. Firefox, the most devastating killing machine ever built. The weapon system is one of the most advanced ever conceived with a thought-guided, thought-control arsenal on board the plane. Think your commands, steer with your eyes, fire with pure thought.

And then there's Philip J. Corso, who claimed to be at the Pentagon in the 50s, doling out UFO material into the civil or private-side world. He claimed the technology ended up in places like Bell Labs. But he and his son, who has spent time with past American alchemy guest, Danny Sheehan, have talked about a helmet with which you could steer a UFO with your mind. The fact that the UFOs appear to be navigated telepathically, for example, and that the craft have built into it some kind of an AI capacity to respond telepathically to the control of the pilot.

That's pretty far out. Thanks to leaps in data signal technology, it might be reality. For Lockheed's Don Phillips, it's proof that technology is finally catching up to the fastest, most powerful processor in existence. The human mind. On certain dimensions involving intuition, still miles ahead of any machine ever built, even with large language models. So one Lockheed insider calls the human body a supercomputer that can command aircraft with thought, while another says exotic propulsion works like ESP. Suddenly, Jake's story doesn't sound so crazy. But there's more proof Jake Barber isn't out of his mind. His story would

have made a lot of sense to John Norseen, a former Navy pilot turned neuroengineer and weapons designer for Lockheed Martin. This is a man who is funded by NASA and DARPA for mind-reading research. In 1999, Norseen published a report on biofusion, a system he looked at a system he was later described involving brain computer interfaces that convert thoughts into commands. No joystick or buttons. You just think and the aircraft moves. According to a man named Doug Pasternak who interacted with him, Norseen believed that a pilot could fly a plane by merely thinking. Basically no delay, no latency. For example, when you say right zero 90 degrees, the computer maps the pilot's electrical pattern in the brain and turns the pilot zero,

90 degrees. And if there's a mistake and the pilot processes 080 degrees, the helmet catches the mistake and injects the right number into the pilot's mind. Electromagnetic waves straight to the dome. This is the tamest part of Norseen's work. His theory describes systems that could push your brain into any target state. Aggression, calm, focus, ecstasy. I'm sure there are tons of implications for this work for CIA mind control programs like MK Ultra. But let's stick to UFOs. According to his colleague, Duncan Lorry, Norseen theorized that every thought leaves an energy dispersion pattern. He called it a brain print, like a fingerprint, but for cognition, intent, emotion, fear, joy. Each one has a pattern, not a static image, but something more like a posture, a configuration your brain

holds that produces an action or state. So if thoughts or brain states leave patterns, how exactly do you capture them? As Norsin explained, think of your hand touching a mirror. It leaves a fingerprint. That's what biofusion does. It maps these brainprints using mathematical models. Just like you can find one person in a million through fingerprints, you can find one thought in a million. He wanted to build a full dictionary of these brainprints. The same thing. The same thing, The system learns what your brain looks like when you want to turn left, speed up, tilt, and stop. It doesn't just read you. It maps you. In theory, if you know the math of a brain pattern, you can potentially run it back into the brain and get the same state or feeling.

You can think of biofusion like a brain computer interface on steroids. Now here's where it gets interesting. A technical write-up by Autonomous Zero-19 cites an internal Lockheed Martin R&D report by John Norseen called Biofusion Reflexive Control and Neuro-Egonomic Integration and Adaptive Cockpits. According to Norsin's citation, that report was funded under the contract N66001. I'll spare you the rest of the numbers. This is the same contract that NASA describes as an aviation weather information systems project. And that N66001 prefix traces back to the Navy's space and naval warfare system center in San Diego, today known as the Naval Information Warfare Center. So it appears we have a NASA Navy hybrid and not too far from where the Nimitz Tick-Tac

sighting occurred in 2004. Look down a small, saw white Tick-Tick-Tac object with a longitudinal axis pointing north-south and moving very abruptly over the water. The same sighting that Ross Colthart swears involved a Lockheed craft. I now know categorically that the Tic-Tac is Lockheed Martin technology. On the surface, John Norsin's work looks like it somehow made it into a NASA weather contract, but it lines up with a mirrored Lockheed Martin document from around 2000 that lists his BioFusion R&D report with the same contract number. Multiple independent references all point to the same thing.

Norseen's biofusion neurocockpit work was riding under that contract. I guess if you had a project that involves flying UFOs via mind control, it makes sense you might bury it inside a weather program. By the early 2000s, Norseen's work basically vanishes from public view. And not long after, he does too, under very strange circumstances. Shortly before a planned lecture at the Naval War College in Newport, he emailed colleagues a cryptic line about his future talk. He had sent me an email and said, and some of the other people from Ans,

and he said, listen, I'm giving a lecture on my latest research at the Naval College in Newport. Do you want a VIP pass to come and attend it? I was like, oh, yeah. So he said, okay, I'll get it all set up. And then at the end of his email, you know, he was into, I forget what the term is for this kind of use of language. Semiotics.

Semiotics, yeah. He was really into that. And the last sentence in his email said, nor, he said I RVed the upcoming lecture, John not heard nor seen. Whoa. And I remember calling Ann and saying,

hey, Ann, Like, what the heck is this last sentence mean? John not heard nor seen. I know he's in the semiotics and stuff. So, you know, not nor seen is his last name. But John not heard nor seen. And then just like two weeks after that, he was found dead in a motel room. Jesus Christ.

So that was some sort of code where it's like he remote viewed his own gut. He remote viewed it and he wasn't there. And this was code to say he's not heard nor seen. Yeah. I mean, what else could that mean? Oh my God. Norseen. was gone, but the kind of work he was doing wasn't. And roughly 20 years later, they resurface,

but in a different form. Enter Lockheed Martin engineers Charles Chase and Gerald Jonas, with a patent called Cognitive Enhancement Using Feedback. I've personally had the pleasure of meeting Charles Chase and think he's a genius. And this patent might sound boring on the face of it, but it's not. It's describing a closed-loop system that reads your brainwaves, compares them to a target brain state, and then hits you with light, sound, or electromagnetic pulses until your brain is nudged towards that target, like a tuning fork for the human mind. It's essentially an extremely sophisticated version of biofeedback.

I've asked Charles Chase and he doesn't know Norsin, but you have to admit it is pretty interesting that there is a lineage pointing to the same company and the same sort of control loop. Measure your brain, compare it to a target state, stimulate it, and remeasure it. and remeasure it. And then there are other people at this company up to the executive level that are talking about flying UFOs with your mind. So it looks like Norseen's adaptive cockpit

ideas could be the prototype. Looks like the Weather Project grew some teeth. In multiple interviews, including with me. The consciousness is activated through heightening intuition and lowering intellect. Barber describes consciousness craft interfaces that sound impossible. But here's the documented R&D showing this technology has been actively developed. Whether it's been successfully integrated with exotic propulsion systems, we don't ultimately know. But the technical capability Barbara described isn't necessarily science fiction. It's just Lockheed Martin, circa 1999. And by 2018, that same basic dream of humans interfacing directly with machines was no longer buried in obscure papers or patents. That year, DARPA launched

a program called N3, Next Generation Non-Dermines. non-surgical neurotechnology. DARPA's official program brief openly talks about building bi-directional brain-machine interfaces for military use, including for things like control of unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the teams that advanced in N3 was led by Battelle. And if you've done any deep research on UFO legacy programs, you know that Battelle Memorial Institute is all over it. According to Battelle's own 2020 press release, their team progressed to face.

two of the program. They were working directly with the Air Force Research Lab, Carnegie Mellon, and others on a system called Brainstorms, which stands for brain system to transmit or receive magnetoelectric signals. Brainstorms uses nanoscale devices injected into the human bloodstream and guided with magnets into specific areas of the brain as part of a system designed for bidirectional neural interfacing. So by 2020, you don't just have vague patents and R&D rumors. You have DARPA openly funding a nanoscale injectable brain computer interface with the Air Force Research Lab's involvement that could be a stepping stone towards warfighters eventually interfacing with aerial vehicles. Or it could simply represent an

advancement in that capability, which was established years before. Now for a different track. Stay with me here. In 2016, the Navy filed a patent under Inventor salvator Pais for what they called craft using an inertial mass reduction device. The patent describes a craft that manipulates high-energy electromagnetic fields to achieve exotic propulsion, a setup that requires precise, real-time control of its own field geometry. You need something that can sense its internal field configuration and how it interacts with the surrounding environment and adjust in real time, something faster than a joystick, faster than a keyboard, something like a mind. What you won't see in the open record is the obvious next step.

Plug those worlds together. If Jake Barber is right, that missing link lives in special access programs that don't get patented at all. So to recap, layer one, Lockheed develops and patents brain-to-machine interfaces. Layer two, the Navy patents craft that require electromagnetic field manipulation. Layer 3. Cyanic Assets. Human intuitives jacked into exotic craft through neural interfaces translating thought into propulsion. I'm not saying that we have a verified Salvador Pais saucer and a hanger synced to a psionic asset with that exact setup. I am saying that Barber's Cionic pilot story sounds wild. Until you look at the R&D lineage and realize every piece of that stack is already

sitting in white papers, patents, and weather contracts. So far we have a fake mountain, drugged psychics, and spacecrafts that only fly if you plug a human mind into them. What's next, do you ask? The moon's fake, clouds aren't really clouds, birds are surveilling us? Yeah, DARPA's R&D portfolio does not make that less creepy. Zoom out of Koyame and you'll see a pattern. Mountains, paramilitaries, and vanishing crafts. It starts to to look less like random campfire stories and more like puzzle pieces. Take Sedona, VisionQuest Capital of America, the land of crystals and trust fund shamans. Famed for its Martian landscape and Vortex Spas, it's all very eat-pray love. But once the sun sets behind the red rocks,

the vibe starts to shift. The notorious Bradshaw Ranch is ground zero for Sedona's high strangeness. There's even a book about it called merging dimensions involving a rumored portal on the ranch, massive cargo planes descending towards mountains where nothing exists, and lights shooting out of canyons as if the landscape itself is alive. There are constant claims of strange activity at Bradshaw Ranch in Secret Canyon with reports of guys with military-style guns. No surprise, the ranch was sold to the U.S. National Forest for climate research in partnership. ship with the Department of Energy and Oak Ridge National Lab. Nothing to see here.

Whispers of a rumored base near Secret Mountain aren't new. Journalist Ross Colthart went to Sedona and came back a believer. I am in no doubt whatsoever, Jesse, that there is a deep underground military bunker that was built in the 1950s under Secret Mountain. That's what it's called. It's the hilarious thing. It's named Secret Mountain. It's called Secret Mountain.

Unbelievable. And that's not all. Outside of consulting multiple on-site witnesses, Ross personally witnessed anomalous activity around Secret Mountain. And if you looked at a particular place over Secret Mountain, you would see this big orb being escorted by helicopters rising from behind Secret Mountain. And we watched at 1.30 in the morning, and sure enough, up comes this beautiful golden orb, gigantic. It's not every day you see orbs escorted by Blackhawks. like a presidential motorcade, but zoom in a little and look closely,

you'll find something else. Investigators digging into rumors of underground facilities near Secret Mountain and Bradshaw Ranch kept hitting the same anomaly. A tunnel, geophysical surveys and magnetometry by Terra Exploration Group showed a straight, man-made tunnel roughly 50 feet in diameter, running like a hidden artery,

from Secret Mountain to Bradshaw Ranch, to the front gate of the Clarkdale Cement Plan, which John Bradshaw claims, used to be the biggest employer in town and was guarded and fenced like a military site. And there's massive amounts of electrical power going into the ground under Bradshaw Ranch. And we didn't put this in the feature-length film

that we put to air on primetime, but it runs in the full-length interview with Paul, my friend. He did a ground penetrating radar check on the road around Bradshaw Ranch, and we found a 50-foot-wide reinforced steel concrete highly visible on ground penetrating radar, literally just under the ground. If you think this is beyond belief, underground military bases exist across the United States. They are called Dums or Deep Underground Military Bases. Richard Sauter wrote an amazing book about them that I recommend you check out.

There are also reports of hikers near Sedona walking into something out of a black op fever dream. Armed men in black. Insignia-free uniforms. M-16s in hand, standing in the middle of Cocoa Nino National Forest. These guys aren't militia. They don't match any unit anyone can identify, and this isn't just Sedona. This exact same ghost force keeps popping up in other hot zones across the United States. Head northeast to Skinwalker Rand.

in Utah's Uinta Basin, and the vibe shifts from moonstones to pure dread. This place doesn't want you here. The Yute tribe won't even talk about it. They call it cursed ground, the path of the skin walk. And if you spend any time on the ranch, you start to understand why. Drones malfunction, helicopters lose power, equipment dies. I am transfixed on that tacky room. For all intents and purposes, I'm in that room.

And so I just, I said out loud, okay, this is stupid. And then I said, all right, if you got something you want to show me, show me. If you got something you want to tell me, tell me. What the hell? Eye living? That's creepy. UFOs don't just fly over Skinwalker. They interact and descend, vanishing into mesas like ghosts passing through walls.

Sound familiar? Owner Brandon Fugel openly describes Blackhawks circling with no-transsexuals. No transponders, shaking the house, running constant surveillance. We had a situation above the triangle where we were launching rockets, of course, one of numerous occasions. And the prominent UAP, unidentified aerial phenomena ends up appearing. And then what happens within minutes following, the Black Hawk helicopter comes right over the mesa, descends over the property and just hovers.

right over the south field. He also described a time where a UFO dropped down from the sky, entered the east field portion of the ranch below a helicopter, and then exited from a mesa. Does it look like it comes from right there? It came out of the mesa right there. Wow. That is unbelievable, gentlemen.

During all of this, drones and other sensor equipment malfunctioned. Previous Skinwalker Ranch owner, Robert Bigelow, tells another story about a UFO flying lazy figure eights at low altitude, then shooting straight into a mountain. And so they stand there and they're watching this, and then it deviates dramatically, and it shoots off at low altitude right into the mountain itself. But there's no explosion. It's just gone.

In another case near Skinwalker Ranch, he describes a similar craft doing the same thing, shooting straight into the mountain as if the stone was a doorway. If we zoom out, it gets even stranger. During the CIA's remote viewing program in 1973, Psychic Spy Pat Price described a massive underground base inside Mount Hayes, Alaska. It had advanced technology, consoles, personnel that looked like military. He named three more bases, Mount Perdido in Spain, Mount In Yungani in Zimbabwe, Mount

Zile in Australia. Years later, Joe McMonigle, another extremely talented remote viewer, was given the same coordinates blind. He saw the same mountains with the same underground command centers, and then he saw something else. The bases were connected, like nodes of a network, and when he remote viewed Mount Perdido in Spain, he saw how it was built, not by non-human intelligence, by us, helicopters, cargo crates, human personnel moving materials into the mountain. Is it really possible to see through someone else's eyes or sense through their senses? Actually, we're not sure exactly how it works, but it is possible to report on the position or place that they're located. Once a private company has reverse engineered enough non-human technology, its capabilities can leap decades or centuries ahead of our own military.

ahead of our own military. At that point, you're talking about a parallel civilization with its own cities, its own private armies. In physics, we won't discover for another century. People seem to disappear on all of these mountains. The mountains contain geomagnetic anomalies, UFOs appear, often coming in and out of the mountains. The mountains almost feel like an air pocket

of a different consensus reality. As my friend and legendary UFO researcher, Richard Dolan, might say, a breakaway civilization. And this is the real takeaway. After years of researching this stuff myself, people always want to know how I shake out on what's actually going on with UFOs and the government. This is the stuff you get into that's just hard to talk about. It's hard to say with a straight face. Jointly operated human and non-human bases with entirely insulated and separate chains of command. I know that sounds nuts, but think about it another way. Name me a topic other than UFOs with this much circumstantial evidence, but nothing concrete and definitive.

So much smoke, but no fire. The control system around this stuff has to operate parapsychologically. They have to have next-level abilities to cover themselves up, and if anyone is in charge of disclosure, they are. This is the truth behind some of these missing scientists cases, and it's the reason why certain technology trees involving gravity manipulation. technology, fusion and free energy tend to hit dead ends or get softly enveloped by bizarre shell outfits, the tech going nowhere in the civilian world, but getting siphoned into the black.

And think about it logically. To think that non-human intelligence exists, but hasn't infiltrated governments and private aerospace, is maybe just as crazy as believing in non-human intelligence in the first place. You can't really be open to one and completely closed off to the other. If this is at all real, then of course the government can't just disclose it. It's probably going to get spoon fed to us in fiction. How else do you prepare a world for the idea that the mountain on the horizon might not be a mountain at all? So yes, maybe Jake Barber didn't land another egg as he predicted when I interviewed him. We hope to do a demonstration and invite key members of the public from institutions and demonstrate this and maybe even get something to the ground.

And his attempts to recreate legacy UFO efforts in a friendly open source way in the form of a private company called Skywatcher seems like it's hit some snags. But what if in the tradition Tom DeLong established with his book Secret Machines, Jake designed this manuscript, the Sentinels of Ether, to encode the real truth in fiction, and then go on to use the Pentagon's own review process and redactions as authentication. If just two chapters of this Sentinels of Ether story that exists today online triggered a firestorm of Black Ink, what is hiding in the rest? What was redacted? If this sounds like fiction, then good, because that's exactly where they've been hiding it. In plain sight, wrapped in stories we were taught not to take seriously. And maybe that's the point.

A reality this shattering can't be announced. It has to be drip-fed, encoded in movies, buried in books, disguised as entertainment until we're ready to see it for what it really is. We don't need a billion-dollar black budget, psionic handlers, or brain chips. We have the hardware. We have the brainwaves. And we have a love beam they can't jam. Eight billion biological antennas walking around on the surface of planet Earth.

Homegrown receivers capable of connecting to a field the black world spent 70 years trying to monopolize. Because there's a far more radical thesis than their high. It's more like they're hiding us from ourselves. The technology isn't in the craft, it's in human neurology, and in the human spirit. And they've spent 70 years making sure that we don't figure that out. Non-human intelligence doesn't need a press conference at the White House. They've been making contact through back channels.

Indigenous tribes, secret societies, occult practitioners, psychonauts, lone religious monks, or just some kids sending coherent love beams out his bedroom window. Sooner or later, something might pick up. In the words of Jake Barber, we're not alone. The skies aren't classified. Your conscience can't be redacted. I encourage us all to look upward and look inward

and to become the best versions of ourselves quickly. We need you. A new era awaits. Until next time, I'm Jesse Michaels, and this is American Alchemy. This next advertisement is for us, American Alchemy. Come work with us. We are looking for a highly competent producer and operator who can own workflows end-to-end

and has a strong editorial eye. We definitely have a preference for applicants who were fans of the show prior. As you know, if you've been watching the show, there's a whole set of references and there's a whole world that we kind of swim in that can be hard to kind of ramp up on. Experience with YouTube specifically is also preferred but not required.

If anything, we're just screening for general competence. We want somebody who's a little type A, but also open-minded, and deeply understands and is fired up about the vision and mission for American alchemy. And of course, we want you to have your own intrinsic and organic interest in the nature of reality. Responsibilities will include interfacing with the most epic guests in the world, helping shape the editorial schedule, working on a bunch of YouTube stuff, and helping just increase the output and general operational efficiency behind American alchemy. Basically, we want to turn this thing into a well-oiled machine.

I've been doing a lot of this stuff myself since we've started. I book all my guests. I do all my research. And I'm realizing that some of these logistical minutia is not necessarily my happy place. I like to spend time learning, meeting people, and going deep on the content. So if logistics and operations is your strong suit and you're passionate about subjects and content like this, please reach out. Submit your applications at apply at jessey michael's media.
