The Why Files: Operation Podcast - 631: UFO Disclosure, Varginha, and the Captured Creature | Basement #005: James Fox

Episode Date: February 26, 2026

James Fox is one of the most respected documentary filmmakers working in UFO research today. He got his start assisting his father conducting interviews for Rolling Stone and Sports Illustrated, a foundation that shaped his instinct for rigorous, credible storytelling.Over three decades, Fox produced seven documentaries including the widely acclaimed The Phenomenon and Moment of Contact, and in 2017 organized what remains the most credible civilian UFO disclosure event in history, bringing fourteen military and government officials from seven countries to the National Press Club in Washington.

Today I'm talking with James Fox. He spent three decades investigating UFO cases, and he's produced seven documentaries, including the phenomenon, which hit number three in all genres when it dropped. And back in 2007, he organized what's still considered the most credible civilian UFO disclosure event in history,

14 military and government officials from seven countries, all of the National Press Club in Washington. But here's what makes James different. He doesn't chase headlines. He knocks on doors. He tracks down. military records. He befriends witnesses for years before they'll even sit down with him. His latest investigation, the Virginia incident in Brazil, took him there four times in the last year.

And what he found is significant. He found a neurosurgeon who claims he had face-to-face contact with a captured non-human being. We learned about a military officer who died weeks after handling one of the creatures. And for the first time, all the locations that James talks about line up on Google Maps. We're going to get into all of it. Let's go downstairs. Today we're talking to James Fox. This is exciting. One of the most prolific documentary filmmakers

working in the UFO space. I don't call it UAPs. He got to start early, assisting his father, writer and photographer Charles Fox, conducting interviews for Rolling Stone, Sports Illustrated, car and driver,

that foundation in rigorous journalism shows in his work. James spent three decades, three decades, investigating UFO cases, producing seven documentaries including out of the blue. I know what I saw, the phenomenon, which is my favorite, the program, and in 2007 organized what's still considered the most credible civilian UFO disclosure event in history,

bringing 14 military and government officials from seven countries to the national press club in Washington. His latest film, Moment of Contact, New Revelations, which is the follow-up of a moment of contact. One, expands on his nearly 30-year investigation into the Virginia incident in Brazil, a case involving non-human beings, military capture, and one mysterious death So remember we're not here to convince or persuade anybody. We just want to hear the story. James, this is not a professional operation, but I am very excited to talk to you.

Thanks for coming in. Oh, that was a great intro. I got to meet this guy. You got to meet him. His name is, I think his name is ChatGPT. Oh, my gosh. Okay. So how do you, first,

how do you go from working with your dad and interviewing Stephen Hawking to becoming like the preeminent UFO documentarian? So funny, I've talked about this in the past because my father used to always say to me, he was a quadriplegic with MS. And so very early on, I was kind of his legs, his secretary, his physical therapist, you know, his chauffeur. And he had to, you know, continue working because that's what he did.

And he had to travel because that's what he did. So I was his leg. So I got very early on, I was driving like 11 years old. But I got to go and meet some of the subjects. And he had a wide range of stuff that you do. Oftentimes he would want to like meet somebody. So he'd make up a story idea, to propose it to various, you know, news organizations

and get approval. And we could travel on, you know, expense, you know, expense paid travel, whatever. And, but he always said to me, son, you know, whatever you want to do in life, I support it fully. I don't care if you want to be a janitor or a lawyer. You know, that's what matters that you're happy.

And then when he found out that I was going to look it into UFOs, I was in my mid-20s, he was so, he was so concerned about my future. And he was like, there's nothing to it. It's a dead end street. Don't waste your life. He was pleading with me not to do it. Like, not only that, but he had members because I was born in England. A lot of my family lives in England and then they married Frenchmen and Italian people,

whatever, they're scattered across Europe. And he had them writing me letters. Your father was very concerned. maybe you should reconsider the path that you're taking in life. Like, you know, really, Dad? Like, just because I said, I'm kind of curious in this and I'm looking into it and, you know, and I thought, well, I'm going to show him.

And so I was like, I'm making a documentary on, you know, UFOs. People are like, you had your damn mind on what, you know? And I did it. It took me four years. It was 100 million times harder than I ever anticipated. I was like, Jesus, editing is insane. Like, you know, B-roll. I need B-roll.

me roll. Is this the one you sold to Discovery when you were 28? Yeah, it was called UFOs, uh, 50 years of denial. Sorry, it's been so long since I did that one. I guess it's been 100 years of denial. Yeah, yeah, I know. Now it's up to like 500 years of denial. Yeah, I did that. And I got to the end of it. I was like, but that was really hard, like really hard. Yeah. My God, and I had no money. And I was, you know, I had met this guy that I'd done some PSA work, public service announcements with another company that I had apprenticed with to learn kind of video production and stuff like that. And he's like, oh, you're doing this documentary. He goes, you know, go out and, you know, do this, this, this and this. And he gave me this,

laundry list of stuff I had to do. And he goes, 99.9% of the time when I told people to go do that, I never see them yet. And I was happy about that. But he goes, son of a bitch, you came back here later and you did everything I told you to do. He goes, so I felt obligated to help you. So he was me and Boris Zuboff, he was sneaking me into this production facility that was like a hundred dollars, hundreds of dollars an hour, right? It was, I mean, back then. And, uh, we'd come in on Friday. Like, yeah, we're just going to do a couple of hours. And then we'd stay up all Friday night, all Saturday, all Sunday, just coffee and just like, you know, because, because, you know, and then we have to leave before, you know, opened back up on Monday morning. And Boris, bless your heart,

Boris, like, he really helped me make that, that film happen. And I was doing, I had a non-liter editing, a non-liter editing system called a toaster flyer. Oh, do you remember those? I'm sure on the Amiga. Exactly. And I remember when I was setting that up, the guy goes at the store, he goes, winter circle in Berkeley. It's probably not going to around anymore. He's like, well, I tell you what, James, I've got these two four-gig drives, or you can

pull out all the stops and get the nine-gig drives. Nine gigs. How much is nine gigs? We'll never fill it. He was $2,400 each for one nine gig drive. And I got two and he let me pay in installments. So I was editing the movie in like 15 minute segments and then I'd bring them into this post-production house and we spliced the film together with digi beta and all that.

You know, anyway. So that was my first film. And then I finished that. Well, hang on. Did your dad get to see that? Oh, sorry. Yes. Go ahead back to that.

Very good point. He did. and he was, he was like pretty damn impressed, but I'll tell you what got him, I'll tell you what got him. He was very impressed. My whole family was. I mean, I sold it to discovery. My first documentary took me about four years,

and I sold discovery, and I, I tell you, man, I felt like I climbed to my Everest. I mean, it was really taxing and really difficult, way more work than I ever anticipated making a documentary, you know? I was like, poke the camera and, uh-uh. But you sold it? I sold it. I know, it was incredible, right?

I had put out requests for interviews during the time of production with that doc that they never got back to me. And post doc and the release, I got accepted. I got invited to go to Russia and I got invited to meet with Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper. Well, Gordon Cooper was an iconic figure of my dad's generation. He was an amazing man. Oh, yeah. Last American astronaut to orbit the planet alone and a little tin can. and I thought, well, normally I would travel with my father on assignment.

This time I said, Dad, how would you like to come with me and meet Gordon Cooper? So he came with, we got his wheelchair van, loaded it up, me and a couple people, got my camera gear. I did all my own audio on camera then. And we did this interview. And my dad was looking in the eyes of Gordon Cooper and he was like, son of a bit, why would this guy lie? had a landing at Edwards Air Force base that was filmed. He talked about processing the film footage. He'd seen the film footage.

Of course, as with all film footage, two men in suits showed up in a courier jet from Washington, D.C. It was never to be seen or heard from ever again. And then on top of that, he had the sighting of these discs in the 50s over Germany in these planes. And my dad just walked away from that going, this guy's not selling his story. He's not selling a book.

He's an iconic figure of my generation. He's a hero. He's not. not crazy. Why on earth? What would motivate him to lie? And that was a turning point for my father. That really got him going, shit, maybe my son's right. Maybe there is something going on here. When he died, he was one of my biggest fans. That's amazing. Yeah. That's what justification for that. Yeah. I know. He was, unfortunately, he wasn't around to see the phenomenon because I worked on that for eight years. I started the phenomenon right, right when he died. And then it took me eight years.

maybe it took me longer than eight years because I started at concept at 43, filming at 44, finished and promoting at 52. Woo. Yeah. That's a long time. And it's really funny.

I had some editors come in and with me because I edited for three or four years of that movie. It was a lot of work. Cases all around the world, whatever. And this one editor, Ben Gallen, he goes, he goes, oh dude, dude, who's that? Who's that guy over there?

And you're, you know, the film footage. I was like, that's me. He goes, really? I was like, yeah, that's when I first started. Like nine years ago, whatever, you know, all brown hair. Sure. You know, no wrinkle. Yeah, whatever.

You know what I mean? It's really funny. I was like, yeah, that took the wind out of my sales on that one, you know. But, yeah. So that's kind of how I got started. And I never anticipated like that I was going to be the UFO guy making UFO docs, right? Well, what was the click that made you suddenly get interested? that. Well, so I had a friend of mine, this guy, Renee Harris from high school. And when we graduated

from high school, I was like, hey, let's fly to Europe and let's drive across. Let's get a car in London and drive to Portugal. So we bought this, like, we flew to London together. He had way more money than I did at the time. Best friends to have. Yeah. Yeah. And he, he, uh, we bought a Fiat 131 and we drove, we painted the doors red. We thought, let's spice this car up. It was white. So we like painted it red on the hood and the, whatever. And then we drove it to Portugal. And, uh, ended up having to ditch it and Portugal came back. But we went across Europe together, really, really good friends. And then he was like, you know, I'm just hungry all the time in Europe.

He's this big guy. And he's like, you know, the food portions are so small in Europe. I need more food. And he's like, and everything's so expensive. And he wanted to go home. So he went home a little early. I stayed on for, oh, man, I ended up becoming an opair. I went to London, sold clothing door to door.

Sleeved clothing stall, the clothing store that comes to you. you know, had the doors slammed to my face. And then I worked as an au pair in the French Alps, not speaking to any French. And then when I came back to the States quite a bit later, you know, we kind of fell out and then we reunited in our early 20s. And he was into UFOs. And I was like, what a shame.

This guy's nuts. This guy's lost his mind. He's one of my best friends and I'm going to have to cut him loose. And he was talking about Roswell and this UFO. I just, I mean, I was like, oh my God, this is tragic. So then I brought it up with one of my people that I was working with at this, I was apprenticing at this production facility in San Francisco. And this guy Richard Van Sickle.

And I looked up to him. He was very, he was 10 years my senior and very experienced in production. He was great guy, very smart. I said, ah, you're not going to believe. I'm not going to know my friend at Roswell. And he goes, oh, James, yeah, you didn't hear about Roswell? I'm like, well, yeah, I heard about it. But, I mean, what do you know?

I heard about it. And then he started getting like, oh, yeah, the military actually announced the recovery of a flying saucer and UFOs. And he was very well versed and everything. And I had a lot of respect for him. So I thought, well, I'll look into it. And the more I dug, the more I realized, oh, my God, there's something going on. And there was the inspiration for the first doc? It came from that?

Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, not that exact meeting, but I decided, okay, I'm going to look into it. Just like Varginia. I reluctantly looked into that case.

Sure. I mean, I heard about that case in the 90s. I heard about Rua through Stephen Spielberg. Wow. When I was making my first documentary on UFOs in the 90s, we had a mutual friend, Jenny Yang. Sorry, I had a head cold a couple days ago. But Jenny Yang was friends with Spielberg,

and I was making a UFO doc. And I thought, well, of course he's going to grant me an interview because I'm making a UFO doc and I'm James Fox. And I was like, and he got back to us and he's like, yeah, not going to meet with you. James, but he's doing a talk on UFOs. He should know about this landing case that happened in Africa. And that was in Rua, Zimbabwe at aerial school in 94.

He told me about it in 97, 96. And I was like, yeah, I'm not going to waste any time. Yeah, sure, a UFO landed in a school. Occupants got out and interacted with the schoolchildren telepathically. I'm not wasting a second on that case. And I didn't. And the same thing with Virginia. Mm-hmm.

I heard about Virginia in the late 90s when I was making my second UFO documentary and my British friend and co-producer at the time, Tim Coleman, very smart guy. He's like, oh, yeah, mate, we got to look at this, you know, because we map out the film, generally speaking, it's like, hey, let's fuck, you know, Bantwater's 1980, you know, Tehran, Iran in 1975, how about we'll look into the Phoenix Lights case

and how about, you know what I mean? We kind of map the film out that way and then we stitch it together with narrative, whatever. The Australian case, I think you cover. Yeah, that was in the phenomenon. But in any case, the time I was, I was mapping it out, And he was like, yeah, let's put this one on the chalkboard. You know, you hear about this UFO crash in Brazil.

And the live aliens walking through the town. And I looked at him and I was like, I picked the wrong partner. It sounded nuts to me. I was with my buddy Boris. And he looked at me kind of sideways. And I was looking at him sideways. And then I looked at Tim. And I said to myself quietly, I think I picked the wrong partner.

This guy's nuts. Like, you know, not only did I not look into the case for over 10 years. So I finished out of the blue. Then I did Directors' Cups for Out of the Blue, okay, years later. Then I did a two-hour special called I Know What I Saw for, I ended up selling that to A&E, the broadcast on the History Channel. And then I got invited to, and that was before, and I never looked into the Virginia. I refused to.

And then I flew to, I got invited to Brazil, a place called Paraweeby. And I met with AJ, this guy, AJ Javard, who's a Brazilian UFO researcher, magazine editor. and before I left, this guy named Jeff Saganzky, I think it used to be head of like Sony pictures. And he was always very instrumental behind the scenes helping me get distribution for my UFO films. And I was always really grateful because he never wanted a penny or anything,

but he found out I was going to Brazil. And this was like 2010, maybe. I'd have to look at me exactly, 2010, 2011, something like that. And he's like, oh, James, you're going to Brazil. You got to look into that, you know, that var. I cringed. I physically, I cringed. But Jeff, I had so much respect for him.

I was like, you know what? I'm not going to sit there and tell Jeff he's nuts because he's been too influential. He's too much of a nice guy. But I said, yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, Jeff. Yeah, yeah, sure. No, definitely look into that. Yep, I'll report back for sure.

Yeah, bye, click. And I was like, I'm not wasting a second on this case. So just to give your audience, like, I understand. I see people online. There's no evidence and there's the photographs. And I get it. because I had that. And I'm not out here trying to prophesize

and get people to join my cult of believers. I really mean that when I say it. All I say is listen to the first hand. I witness testimony because it's very compelling. Well, before we get into Virginia, which we'll definitely cover in detail. Yes. How have you managed to stay?

Sane? No. I don't want to use the word credible because it's not really the right word, but how have you managed to just, you have so much integrity and respect from, not just the UFO community, but from everybody.

How have you stayed that guy, the most, probably the most trustworthy voice? You know, I've made mistakes, you know, and I try, I really try hard to, if I don't believe something, I won't put it in a film, right? And if I have any question, I'll say, you know, generally speaking,

I do as much background research as I possibly can. I reach out to as many people that I trust, with the intelligence community, people that can do like full background checks. I call people up. I want to see their military records. I want to see. Like, for instance, there was a controversial character named Jason Sands. And Jason had an account of an alleged close encounter of the third kind that happened at Nellis test range back in the 90s. Very compelling. Like, wow, it's really compelling. And especially when you hear, you know, we know about close encounters of the third kind.

You know, we know about, I've heard a number of reports of people that worked out at the base that claim for, you know, that there are entities out there. What am I? It's a tall, I don't know. But I checked his military records. I checked him with all the intel folks that I possibly could. I did background on the UFO footage that leaked from that period. I even contacted his ex-wife.

and I got, I had to pay her because she was like, I'm not, I have to go up in the attic and dig through all these box, dusty boxes. And I'm not doing that. She didn't like him, obviously. The dwarces are like that. I'll give you $200 per picture. I had those pictures like three days later, bam, you know, of him exactly where he said he was in the, you know, at the bay, all the pictures, all of his military records.

I talked to people in the Senate that sat in a skiff with him. They're like, I know he's got PTSD and he might say some off the wall. up, but that guy was there. He has named classified, you know, legacy program names that we got in trouble just for asking about. They're like, I know he's got some issues, but that, he's legit. He was where he says he was, and we think that encounter happened. So I decided to report on it, and I got lamb-based by people out there.

Like, you connect yourself with Jason Sands. It's like, that was a tough call. That was a tough call. I was the one that accidentally outed him. So I make mistakes. And did I make a mistake with that? and would I do things differently? Maybe.

But this is tough because we're now in an arena where we're having this incredible allegations of crash retrieval, legacy UAP crash retrieval programs. These are, you know, really serious allegations. Where's the proof, right? So there's no smoke without fire. We sense there's people testifying under oath as to the existence of a crash retrieval legacy program.

I've interviewed aerospace engineers and physicists that are directly involved or claim to be directly involved that would love to give us more information but they need, you know, so I do the best I can sometimes I make mistakes and I try to be kind to everybody

and I try to stay in my own lane. Where are you with the whistleblowers and the current narrative, the folks coming out of the Grush, Elizondo, the guys that come from military intelligence that have clearance, they clear their talking points for DOD, where are you with this?

Is it real? Is it disinformation? Well, so here's what I say to the people out there that criticize these whistleblowers. Fair enough, because they say, I'm sick and tired of hearing these allegations. And where's the proof? Instead of criticizing them, why don't we recognize the fact that they're saying that they want to tell us the classified details needed, but they are concerned about their personal safety. They're concerned about the consequences.

They're concerned about their clearances. Those are legitimate concerns. So instead of criticizing them, why don't we figure out how to create a platform that will enable them to testify under oath to a bipartisan group of lawmakers publicly, right? So that's like one of the questions that I'd asked aerospace engineer Dr. Eric Davis. He's making some incredible allegations, right? And he's like, look, I said, yeah, but this is really frustrating because you're telling me there's scratch retrieval and there's pictures of aliens and all this other stuff. But where is the? And he's like, look, you get President Trump tomorrow to wave the magic wand and give me immunity?

I'll give you all the details you needed. So instead of focusing our attention on attacking these people, why don't we just call their bluff and say, I'll tell you what, let's push members of Congress. This is what I've been doing recently. I just met with members of Congress and the task force in Washington, D.C. Like 10 days ago. Yep. Right? And I'm trying to get them to look into the Varsini case.

I'm trying to find out, like, how can we get hearings on more witnesses? how, what sort of environment can we get to create a platform for all these people that claim to have all this knowledge that want to come forward. They're terrified of the consequences. Why don't we create that platform? Why don't we focus on that? Because whether you believe Grush or not, if it's true, what are you saying? It's the biggest story in the history of mankind. Of course.

Let's call his bluff. Let's focus on getting the president, the executive branch, you know, to say, hey, wave the magic wand. give these guys immunity. They're dying to testify. Let's do it. What are we waiting for? Even Eric Davis said he would, he'd say everything. He said he would. He said it to me on camera because I was really frustrated too. And I'm sitting there going, you know, and people to sit on the sidelines and criticize. I'm like, why don't we call their bluff? Why don't we focus more on resolving this issue? It's supposed to like, that guy's lying. He's deep, you know, sciop and this, this, that person. It's like, I don't, you know, I don't want to hear it.

All I know is that people are testifying under oath, under oath, saying that there's a crash retrieval program, biologics, all that stuff. What about the, what was his name? The ICIG intelligence community inspector general that apparently David Grush said he'd given all the classified details needed to verify his claims in a skiff. Thomas Monheim. Thomas, is it Thomas Monheim? I think it was. But why don't we put him, let's subpoena him and get him to give us those details. Why don't we focus on that?

There's no talk of that. Do you see what I'm saying? Of course. So it's like we need to all get together. We need to stop bickering with one another, criticizing online and focus on a common goal like to make this happen. And that's what I was trying to do in D.C. That's what I was trying to do with the press conference.

What is it going to take? You know, Kirk McConnell was talking about it. He set in on the skiffs with first. witnesses. That was pretty extraordinary. He talked about the environment. There are some people like Christopher Mellon, for instance, is saying that Congress actually has the authority to do this. Yep. Not even, of course, the executive branch for sure. The president of the United States can just wave his magic wand. What's he got to lose? Nothing. There's been statues of him all around the world. There would be. Not everywhere, but, but I agree. But if he, you know, love him or hate him,

where's the resistance coming from? Who's in charge? Well, so I talked to people in the task force just like 10 days ago. We had a close-door meeting, which actually Leslie Keene and Ralph Blumenthal just wrote about it today. That story came out in the debrief. I would highly recommend you viewers go check it out. 100%. Because it's got pictures and a very detailed account of what happened. But they said that the pushback they're getting from the DOD is significant. The intelligence agencies significant like what's happening. And some of the threats. You know, I mean, Grush, I mean, I've heard, I can't reveal what. I've heard, but what I've heard was, if it's true, that's pretty scary what, you know, like

basically coming in your house while you're gone and leaving notes and other things. Sure. You know, just like, you know, we can touch you anywhere kind of stuff. Well, I mean, wherever you stand on someone like Lazar, believe or not, the government made his life difficult for a good long time. Yeah, for sure. So what I mean? I trust George Knapp's reporting on that.

I do as well. I trust more than anyone. I really do. I have tremendous respect for him. So why don't they want us to know? There's some advantage that they have. Okay. So let's just live in an alternate reality for a moment.

Yeah. Okay. And let's just imagine that this is all true. Okay. Let's imagine that UFOs have crashed. Let's imagine that we have biologics. We've captured some alive. Let's imagine that we have this technology in a lab somewhere.

Let's just say that the observed technology, you know, with UFOs, and it's well documented for over 80 years from someday it goes way back, but whatever. We'll just talk about the modern UFO wave. These things exhibit a technology that's light years advanced from anything we have in our position. Even today, listen to David Fravor. Listen to the various pilots over the years. Talk about flying rings around their fastest jets, and they got no wings and no tail and no visible

means of propulsion. They can hover, accelerate from a standstill to add a side of Blake Vinay, right angle turns at high speed. I mean, they go, Kirk McConnell talked about the radar. tapes. I mean, we have radar of these objects with no wings, these tick-tac shaped objects. They're in space. They drop down to sea level faster than a second. Yep. You know what I mean? 22,000 Gs. 80,000 feet and less than a second, okay? So, whatever these things are and who's ever piloting these things, if you could weaponize that technology, you're going to, you're going to control. And of course, that's how the military thinks. So let's, again, in this alternate reality,

let's just imagine that that's all true, right? Now, do you think that those in control of this technology, whether they've figured it out or not, there's a lot of controversy on both sides? Some people say we have. Some people say we have it. Some people say we understand the technology. We wouldn't quite know how to replicate it

because the power it would take to generate, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But what incentive would the Defense Department or the various agencies that are in control of the special access, you know, super, ultra-secret programs, how would they benefit by sharing that technology with the rest of the world? They would not. Okay.

So, well, how about, like, imagining if that technology got out to the Russians or the Chinese, right? So, and they weaponize it. They put a nuke on it. Like, you know, I could see that being an issue of national security. Sure. So we've been slightly pivoted a little bit, but the so-called biologics, they call them biologics,

the non-human, you know, intelligent beings, that should not be an issue of national security. So we're kind of pivoting to that. We've talked about that at the event. But they would have to admit that Earth is under some sort of observation. We have definitive proof that we're not alone. We have biologics. We've been lying to you guys for 80-plus years.

Roswell was real. Magenta was real. 30s in Italy. we don't know who they are, where they come from, or what their agenda is. I don't see an incentive to disclose that either. That's a fair answer. Yeah, and I don't agree with that. And a lot of people don't agree with that.

People have a fundamental right, right? And what we're talking about that's happening in the United States, it's a global issue. This is going to impact the whole world. You know what I mean? I remember when I met with, this is probably one of the first times that I actually thought about the implications, and I'm all for disclosure. I don't care. The truth is a truth, and people should know. And if the technology has to stay a national security issue for all the reasons we discussed, then fair enough. But at least confess that you have it. So say we have it. Look, we're not sharing it. We can't let our items have it, but we do have it. Yeah, I think that there should be an admission of that. I really do. I met with Robert Bigelow, I was right after I did, I know what I saw. And I got an email from his, I still have email.

I got an email from his secretary. And she's like, oh, Mr. Bigelow wants to congratulate you on a job, well done. My film, I know what I saw. And I was like, oh, my God, Robert Bigelow. This guy could fund my next, you know. Right. And so we ended up having lunch in Las Vegas and at his house. And he's like, you know, you know, kid, because I was probably in my late 30s or maybe

very, or maybe I was 40, but I, yeah, probably maybe 40. He's like, you know, kid, he goes, you know, we looked into it. I probably poured more money into the phenomenon. I had intellectual heavyweights in the scientific community and nids and this and little that I know. He was working on ASAP and ATIP at the time. He was. He was. He was. But he didn't, he didn't tell me about that. But he was like, you know, and do you understand like the impact that disclosure would have and blah, la la la la law? And I was thinking to myself, like, you know, no. I mean, kumbaya, group hug, wow, we're not alone.

It's going to disunify, you know, global, you know, that's, that's what I always looked at it. I'd be really cool. We'd see ourselves for who we really are, is one race, one species, one planet. How cool would that be? Right. And he's looked at me and he's like, man, we did a study on this and the impacts would be significant. He's like, you take every, and he's hit, he said that. And I don't know, I'm starting to think that maybe, maybe he's right.

Or maybe it's just the thing that the world needs right now. you know because yeah i think it would have unifying it might be initially quite shocking ontological shock or maybe religions might have some issues with it they might um but uh but i think the vatican is is a little more open to this idea now it's really funny you should say that because uh we reached out to someone who's to speak at our event i probably won't mention her name but uh she's like oh it's really funny they you, you know, that you reached out and made a request for me to present at your, at your event in D.C., she goes, because high-level people at the Vatican are just telling me about this new witness that

you found on the Varginia case, they think it's really significant. And they said, you got to watch this, you know, you got to watch this video because if true, it's the most significant development in the history of the phenomenon. And I have to say, I think it is. So, anyway, I agree. Where do you stand? My favorite landing video is the Holloman Air Force Base video. Yeah, I mean the video that we don't have. We don't have, which we do. We do have it, but we don't. What do you think about that? What happened there? Oh, just like every other case that I've ever investigated, including Sikoro and Rua and Varsinia. I don't know. I always always think like that's impossible. I remember the first time I was the first real serious. time that I'd heard about the Holman landing case, I laughed it off pretty quickly. And then I started investigating Socorro.

And that's Socorro is very close, Stone's Throw. I started reading articles from a woman named Corral Lorenzen of the UFO Bulletin. And she had described some media, and she apparently a pretty reputable source at her during her time. She had described some interviews that she'd done with people at Holloman Air Force Base that had described this incident, one from. the air, one from the ground, some other people, very good articles. And I thought, hmm, that's interesting. Continue my investigation of Zocoro and I ended up stumbling upon that documentary

UFO's past, present and future with Eminegger and Sandler. And I'll make this story quick, but I met with both of them. And Aminager was like absolutely convinced that it had happened. And they were producing their documentary in the early 70s. And they were working with a guy at the Pentagon named Colonel William T. Coleman, who I interviewed. And he was basically giving them carte blanche to do this UFO doc in the early 70s and giving them unprecedented access to all these bases and NORAD. And it was incredible what happened back in the 70s.

And apparently, this is one of the reasons why. I believe this happened. And I was sticking my teeth into it kind of as a side project. I didn't even report on it because I was just like, whoa, let me check this out, you know, as I was doing other stuff making the phenomenon. And I got to know Ellen Sandler. I went to his house. I was going after some footage that he actually still has of an incident that happened at Vanderberg in the 1960s of an Atlas rocket and a UFO going around.

And he had that, he actually made a deal with me to buy it. I was going to give him like 25 grand, and then he was going to show it to me. I had to put the money in an escrow account, and he was going to show it to me, and if I liked it, and it was everything he said it was going to be. He kept the money.

I took the thing. I got the money. And the last minute, he pulled the carpet out, and he was like, you know, I talked to my lawyers, and it's really risky, and this had the other thing,

and I'm really well off, and I don't need the risk. I was like, dude, really? So I've been, you know, anyway, during this time, and I was also interviewing Coleman and Ammonegger, which I'm going to release all those interviews pretty soon

for free on the internet. And Alan's like, oh, I saw that footage. And I was driving my car when he told me this. I was like, excuse me, what? You saw the footage from Vanderberg? No, no, I saw the landing at Holloman. I said, okay, hold on a second. Pull the car over, stop, engine off.

Okay. You're telling me, Alan Sandler, that you saw the landing at Holloman. and he goes, yeah, I sure did. It was shown to me by a guy named Paul Shardle at Norton Air Force Base. Okay, so why is it that Eminager doesn't know that? That's weird. So I closed my eyes and I got him to give me the description.

Now, he was like, this was clearly not fake. It was a real film footage of a real flying saucer that really flew and really landed. And he goes, James, just like in a sci-fi movie, the door opened, it didn't have any seams or anything. It just opened up and plump. And he was like, I think it was, you know, our technology back in the 70s, we have a flying saucer and we set it up as like a training video as to what we do if we made contact. I don't agree with him.

And the other is Eminegger needed it to Paul Shardle. But I don't know if he knew and he was just trying to, like, who knows? But that's what he said. So I said, so you're telling me it's not a special effect. He goes, no, man, this is real footage. It was shown to me by Paul Shardle. Eminegger happened to not be at the base that day. And the very next morning, two men in suits showed up.

You never saw this like da-da-da-da-da, and it took the footage and it was gone. And so, for whatever reason, you know, Alan didn't tell Eminager. And I got, I actually got on the phone. I got the interview somewhere. And I was like, all right, Eminager, I'm here with Alan, or maybe I was with Eminager and had Alan on the phone. It was with Eminager. And I was like, do you know that Alan saw the footage?

Why didn't you tell him, you know? So Alan saw that. footage and described to me in vivid detail. And if you want me to tell you, what do you describe? Of course. I'm happy to tell you. I've seen the landing, but I haven't seen the doors open. So, okay, I, okay, I have not seen the landing. So I haven't seen any of it. But in any cases, what he told me. It's gorgeous. Oh, man. He said, he said that there were three discs coming over escorted by military jets, coming over, Harlem Air Force Base. I can't remember. It was daytime, but I can't remember it was daytime, but I can't remember it was afternoon or morning. I'm sorry. I just

can't remember. But it was day. It was daytime. No question about that. So there were three desks coming in at rather high altitude. And that two, when it got to a certain proximity of the base, two of them peeled away. And one came down. And he said it came down almost like a leaf,

like kind of like it was unstable and maybe had some issues. You know, whatever. I was like, yeah, that's kind of how they fly. Came down. And he goes, landed on some pods. I said, well, was the camera like on a tripod? Did they anticipate it coming? And I believe he said it was cameras on a tripod.

So they were expecting it, so-called, I guess they would be. And he goes, James, he goes, the most incredible part, this is the part I never forget, he goes, there was no door. Like it just, like a scene, there was no seam, it just opened. Like he goes in, just dropped down. Two entities, I guess, came out. He didn't really describe what those ones looked like, because I should have asked, but he did describe what the other one looked like. And it had like a Egyptian head thing, Egyptian, tight-fitting suit. I think he said big eyes with the vertical slits, very small nose, very insignificant mouth.

And it had what appeared to be some sort of what would be a communication device in his hand. And that came off, met with some base, people at the base with a Jeep. that one got in the Jeep and and and and off off they went and that and I said well what happened and said well the film footage stayed for a minute and then it just cut the disc was still sitting there when it cut and they were you know the steps out and it cut that was it and uh I was like maybe this footage does exist and then I started talking to other people about it you know Hal put off and Eric Davis and Christopher Mellon like what you know and to this day Alan's in his 90s and he's like, if you know where to look, it's probably still in the archives.

I don't know if arrows found it. I know that, did Eric Davis say he saw it or he knew someone that did see it? President George W. Bush apparently was aware of that footage and they had a conversation about it. So I actually believe that footage exists. Obviously, I can't prove that, but that's my background on that story. Have you come across anyone who could describe what the reason for that meeting was? Absolutely no idea. It's connected to the project Serpo story, but it's just so wrapped up in disinformation. It's really hard to know why they were there. Well, the information that I just discussed with you, I feel is pretty damn solid. Like, really solid. That is like enough for me to go, am I positive the film footage exist? I don't

know. One can never be positive unless you see it for yourself. But I would say a high level of probability that footage is real. Yeah. And it does exist. And they almost got to use it. And I think, I don't know how it got out. And Paul Sharle had gotten a call from Colonel Coleman. He was like, hey, these guys are coming to the base, make everything available.

And I guess he had just processed it. And he was like, this shit was real. Like, this is not an act. This was, Paul Sharne was convinced of it. He ended up dying a head-on collision with his wife. Both died. But he did go on one TV show and talk about it with Eminiger. And Eminigr was absolutely convinced that

the footage existed. He was absolutely convinced they almost got to use it in their film. And the recreations were based on exactly what that footage shows. So the military there was clearly anticipating that meeting. How long, how far back do you think that goes? The communication coordination with the military, does this go back to Roswell? I just have no idea. It's all speculation. All I can tell you is what I know, what I personally investigated. Well, that's why we all trust you. Yeah. Is it because you say it on now. Yeah, I don't.

And it's just like people go with the Varsini case, well, this happened here and there was seven days later, the girls saw I'm like, yeah, I know, that's odd. Were there multiple crashes? Did the creatures hang out? Did they have an escape pod? Did they go travel through the water? How do they get there?

It's a few miles away, several miles away. Like, I don't know. You know, the girls described this creature, and I believe those girls. I mean, there's one of the reasons why I really started digging into the Varsini case. We're still teasing that one. We're still teasing that.

And actually, when we get into that case, because you're such a magical storyteller, if I step on like any punchlines, if you're building the story, let me know. And I'll let you, I'll let you do that. For this segment, which we're only going to do for another five, 10 minutes. So what's the earliest case that you believe? Do you believe Roswell? Do you believe the multiple crash theory? Oh, I know.

I could tell you why I believe Roswell if you want. Yeah. Yeah. So first of all, I really believe, you know, Jesse Morrison. So I was friends with his son who handled the debris, Jesse Marcel Jr., who was a medic in the military. And he had the debris that had markings on it, didn't he? Yeah, yeah. Well, the dad came back from the ranch with Mac Brazzell and one other military guy.

And he woke his kid up in the middle of the night, like, you got to see this stuff. I'm waking you out. You got to see this. And he showed him the material, the paper, the eye beams with the symbol, blah, blah. And I knew him. So I knew someone who handled the debris. there's still pieces out there, by the way. Because I knew other people that when I would go to Socorro,

there were the planes of San Augustin and Magdalena and Daedal. And that whole area. We're talking about remote, high desert like planes. Wow, beautiful. But I talked to a gentleman out there and he's like, yeah, there's still some of those pieces of Roswell out here. I said, how do you know? He goes, because I know the ranchers that have it.

In fact, I got to touch one of them. I was like, really? Do you think they'd talk to me? he goes, I don't think so. They don't talk to outsiders and they don't talk to anybody about that. So I had a lead on that. I don't have the guy's name,

but that's a side story. Roswell, of course, you look into it. They make the announcement that they recover this thing. Then they recant whatever, how many hours later. They have that press conference. They throw debris out of the ground.

Right. Well, two out of the three, you know, Ramey and DeBose and Marcel, Ramey kept shut. But DeBose and Marcel both went on the record later. That was a cover story for what really crafts. It was not of this earth. Like, you know, I cover it in the phenomenon quite extensively.

But I was making probably out of the blue. It was probably out of the blue. It might have been my first UFO talk in San Francisco I was telling you about. And my partner at the time, Boris Zuboff, lived in this apartment complex on the top floor with a view of Dolores Park. Really nice. And one day he goes, my landlady. She's in her 80s, wants to have tea with you.

And it was in the 90s. I said, what about? He goes, I don't know. She found out we were doing a documentary on UFOs and she wanted to have tea. I was like, okay, I'll have tea with her. Sure. I love tea.

Yeah, I love tea. I'm English. My dad drinks, used to drink 20, 30 cups a day. And I used to jokingly see like, how many cups of tea can I bring my dad? Before he says, you know, he doesn't want to. One day I just brought him like cup after cup after cup, because he's always asking,

it's kind of a pain and he asks to make him a tea. And I got to like, 25. And he's like, I'm good, you know. It's like,

wow. Yeah. So anyway, we have tea and she says, um, um, you know, I don't want to,

you know, I don't want to go public or anything. I just, I found out you're doing this documentary on UFOs. And I want you to know that I think it was her husband or someone that she was, I think it was her husband that was deeply in, um, he was a high level,

uh, scientific researcher for the government. And back in the, back in 1950, he told me, and she goes, I haven't talked to anybody about this. She was in her 80s telling me this. She didn't want any money. She didn't want to like go on the wreck, just wanted me to know. She said that a UFO, a flying saucer crashed in the desert of New Mexico and there were aliens

recovered. He told me that in 1950. Nobody was talking about that. She goes, I've held it in. in all this time. She goes, this guy was like so solid and so credible and so honest. And he told me that. Like that happened.

And I thought, why would she make that up? No reason to make it. And you take that with all the rest of the stuff that's going on and all the military. I had the distinct advantage. I got to go to the 50th anniversary of the Roswell crash. And at the time, it was 1997, July, you know, there were a lot of people still alive. because if you're in your 20s or 30s, you're in your 70s and 80s, right? A lot of people that I got to meet was so glad I got to go

that firsthand witnesses of all different walks of life, you know, witnesses of the debris and whatever. So that's primarily why I'm totally, of course, I've talked to Intel folks. I even know where the, I was told where the alien bodies were from Roswell and the individual that told me where they were in California, Southern. That's where they went to. I just, that's what it was said to me. And I said this individual, I can't reveal this individual's name,

but we were at dinner having wine and it slipped out. And I was like, well, I was thinking that, well, I thought they'd be on the East Coast. Really? You should always bring wine to interviews. Totally. And then the next day I brought it up. And the individual was like, no, I didn't. I said, you did.

Actually, I heard it loud and clear. No, I didn't. You did? No, no, I didn't. Isn't that funny? It just like slipped out. So apparently there's some body, or at least one body from the Roswell in Southern California. I'm not sure exactly where, but I heard Southern California.

Yeah, I heard one went to Los Alamos. Would have gone to the east. I thought, because I was told recently that, I don't know if it was alive entities or the entities in general in the East Coast. I got that much out of this individual. It's like, well, where, you know, because I want to know where the damn bodies from Virginia went. Right. And, oh, you know, I think I know. And I was like, uh,

Can you tell me more like East Coast? And I went and then the individual is like, that's, that's all I'm giving you. I'm not saying anything more. Oh, God. And because I'm like curious too. Like even if I can't report on it publicly, I still want to know. Yes. Right?

So I was asking this. And then we give you wine. Yeah. We were together at the age of disclosure premiere in New York City. We watched the movie and there was a cue and there was a cue and A and then afterwards there were drinks at a bar and like like, like, what a food or whatever. And I saw this person I've been really wanted to talk to and I'd talk to him once before.

Sand over the bar with a drink. I was like, mm, good sign. Went over there, got myself a little whiskey. Hey, you know, we start chatting it up. And I didn't want to be too forceful because I can be a little overwhelming sometimes because I'm so curious and I, you know, I get so excited. But I was like, I was like, guy, you know, I heard that, you know, there's not really like that many people, like in the real no,

like with the percentage of, you know, how many people really know, the bigger picture? He goes, hmm, say about 10, 10 people on the planet at the bigger picture. Wow. Well, what would you consider, like, where you're at? He's like, probably one of 30. Wow.

And I was like, okay. What about like Hal put off? Because Hal put off told me, he goes, you know James, this is how much I know. This is how much I've shared with you. He's like, Hal's probably one of 50, I would say.

My God. So I said, Howe shows up in all these stories. There's other things about Hal that I can't really discuss with you, but I had some weird telepathic stuff with him that. You like mine melded with how put off?

I'd like to do that. Let me stay on point with this one because I can't really. So I said, because I, you know, and I didn't want to pry too much because, you know, people clam up. Sure. When you're too aggressive. Yep.

But I was really dying. And I actually saw Leslie Kane on the other side of the room. And she was hanging out with people from like either the CIA or the FBI. I can't remember people's task force. I'll tell you of that story. later because that was funny. Oh, the guys serving drinks for CIA. Yeah. No, they were normally out. Like, we're here, like, you know, and I see Leslie look at me and she saw that look on my face. Leslie's known me for a while, like probably almost 30 years, a little under,

but she looked at me and she saw. She goes, I know that look because I was, you know, I was really focused. I really wanted to hear from this person. So I said, uh, oh, you know, a couple of steps. Um, I heard that, um, I don't know, some people say,

the bigger picture is a little scary. A little scary. A little scary. He's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, I could see that.

I'm thinking, you can see that? Like, why can you see that? Like how? So I said, um, I'd like pause and like,

you know, tried to be measured and calm. And I said, uh, well, like, Like, how scary? Well, you don't need to be worried.

Okay? Well, what do you mean by scary? Well, intent. Intent is scary? That's what he said. Oh, you got to give us more. I'm right on the cusp of like, all right, what's the intent? That's my next question.

Of course. But I was like, you know, and this person with a cocktail came up and slipped in between the two of us and said, oh my God, I've been wanting to talk to you and done it. I'm like, ah. So now that's on hold. Oh, okay. I told you you can't trust those bartenders, man. I just want to know what the hell's going on. We all do.

You know, I want to know what's going on. Well, let's take a good... I don't know, maybe if I'll ever know what's going on. I don't know if we ever will. If anyone will, you'll get to it. We'll take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll talk about Virginia.

Fascinating. Perfect. All right. All right. Back with James Fox. When I first heard about the Virginia case in Brazil, I thought, there's no way, there's anything to this. It's a brown, slippery alien when the, I was, there's nothing to it.

And then I started doing some research. Of course, my primary source was a moment of contact. And I was like, this happened. This story happened. Do, I know that your newest doc is sort of an addendum to the first one. Do you want to tell the original story? Would you rather just cut it in? Well, you know, I've got to,

some clips too. I'll share those in a little bit. Okay. But first of all, I want to say I completely acknowledge and, and respect that position. I see it online and I get attacked all the time. You know, and I, George Knapp told me, he goes, don't read the comments. Generally, generally speaking, I try not to read the comments. And every now and again, you read them and kind of support. You know what I mean? Don't do it. Because some people are just like, you know, it's really rude. Like you can have a spirited debate and you can be skeptical. That's fine. But don't be an, asshole, you know?

If you're on Reddit, you don't know what you're talking about. Just really rude. Like, just really rude. It's like, how many times have you been to Brazil? So many times. So many times. So many. Four times in the last 12 months.

Four times. Wow. The last 12 months. I was just there a couple days ago. And that's why I looked like shit. And I'm not, you look great. But, so I totally respect that opinion. And I'll say, I myself was there.

And again, I'm not. putting this out as the gospel, I'm clearly saying that as someone who's investigated UFOs for over 30 years, investigated this particular case on and off for over 16 years. I feel that at the very least, even those most skeptical can look at this firsthand eyewitness testimony. Even Michael Schumer said to me, well, that's pretty compelling stuff. Like, you know, Michael Schumer, Skeptic Magazine, pretty compelling stuff. Why can't we agree to, like, say, hey, something significant happened. People saw UFOs.

People saw UFO crash. People saw UFO in distress. People saw strange creatures that were intelligent beings with large heads, big almond-shaped eyes. The doctor described one of the creatures as being more white with the same eyes, same big tear-drop-shaped head, same telepathic communications of the the eyes. The girls described something, you know, more brown, suffering, hot, heat. The other one was in air-conditioned environment in the ICU. Are they camillians? Can they, are there different

species on one crap? I don't know. Now, I know this story well. So if you find me stepping on any of your reveals, let me know because you're a storyteller. And I think that's why your documentaries are so good is because you clearly are a storyteller. It doesn't sound like, I don't want to insult you. It doesn't feel like journalism. It feels like you unwrapping this story and the mystery for us, which I love. I think it's really important that it's beautiful. David West, who's my DP. He's as into the photography and the B-roll as I am, the topic and the subject matter.

It's a really nice combination. A film should be entertaining. It should be beautiful. It should be an experience, right? It should be, but it also should be educational. like and with a serious tone. And I like to have fun too as well because like without humor like, you know, come on. I mean, I make some funny jokes and the outtakes and stuff.

The outtakes at the end of it. Yeah. But I also think about like the skeptic in the room. And that's great. There should be. We shouldn't just believe. Nobody should just believe me because I'm saying a UFO crash and live aliens. I don't expect you to.

And I remember when I got back from the last trip when I made moment of contact, It was like 2021, late 2021, or maybe it was early 2020, something like that. And I had CNN at my house in Vermont and with Leslie Kane, and they were going to do a little piece on me for the show they were doing. And they were like, oh, you just got back from Brazil. It's so exciting. We heard that you're investigating and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Well, we'd love to talk to you about this on camera. And I said, yeah, that's not going to happen.

Like, why not? I said, I'm happy to talk about the phenomenon. I'm happy to talk about out of the blue, you know. I said, no, because you guys are going to look at me like, you know, you need to up the dosage of the medication that I'm not even on. And I'll wait for the film to come out. And if you guys want to cover it then, that's fine. And I'll remind your audience when the first cut of moment of contact dropped, people were looking at me. Like, I mean, people that I was really close to.

I mean, I had a reputation of doing the phenomenon, right? Yep. I'd interview in high-level intelligence officials. I was the only one to get to Harry Reid on camera before he would diagnose with cancer. Like, you know, that was, I had a level of access that I'd never had before and success that I'd never really had before. That film really transcended the UFO community into a much broader, more mainstream audience, which was one of my objectives. And so I kind of like- That was a top 10 doc when it came out, I believe. Yeah, no, it was number three in all genres.

Right. Number two or number three? In all genres. In all genres, yeah. Wasn't a Virginia supposed to be? Yes. So you looked into it and you said, oh, I got to do a hole. I looked into it for years and I filmed and I cut it all out.

You said, I need to do a hole. I need more. I said, we need to find the crash witness. We need to find more of this witness. We need to doda, da, da, da, da, da. Thank goodness. Yeah. And I was like, and my counterparts in Brazil were devastated when they found out.

Absolutely. I'm not the work we'd done already. And I said, Marco, sit tight. I promise you, we're going to go back to the drawing board. We're going to do just this film needs an entire. dedication to just this case needs to be a film on its own. We need to go back and do more, you know, research and we've been investigating. So the film dropped at a time when we hadn't had congressional hearings. We hadn't had David Grush talk about... This is 23 when it dropped?

No, I dropped this in 22. Okay. Yeah, I can't remember the exact date. I'm sorry, but I dropped it in 2022. Which is an eternity in this field. Yeah. And we had the first congressional hearings either earlier that year, but no mention of crash retrieval. It was Andre Carson, representative of Andre Carson put this on. There were no, like, witnesses in the audience.

It was like really sterile. But it was still, you know, a hearing. And then, but we hadn't had David Crush. We hadn't had all these crash retrieval allegations, you know, bodies, you know. I remember when I was not even done with the case, I mean, the film yet. Lou Elizonda was contacted me and he was like, I need a copy. I was like, well, Lou, it's not done yet.

I don't care. I need a copy. I need it now. I was like, okay, I was telling my partner, Boris, hey, can you do an export with a security, you know? And he's like, yeah, you know, what's going on? I was like, I don't know. Apparently it's really urgent.

He goes, you have no idea who's watching this right now. And what he was doing was he was trying to demonstrate the Americans' involvement. So he was particularly interested in the second. and half of the film just so he can show various people like, hey, this is real, this is serious, this is happening, look at this case in particular, not that he was basing everything on that one particular case, but he was showing that case. And then little did I know there was a bill to that huge congressional hearing with David Grush. I mean, that was a pivotal moment. Yep. You know, and I had people telling me, like, you're really going to jeopardize the reputation that

you've spent so long, you know, putting together and your access to tell folks. And now you're going report on this alleged crash and these live aliens walking through the town like dude really and I said man i'm telling you i've been i've been going there for years i've been knocking on doors i've been meeting with the first hand witnesses i'm telling you there's something to this just hear me out you know and um and i put my neck out and i dropped that film and um i would say it did moderately well and it was brought up on a number of occasions and joe rogan had me on for the program and i know we sent this other film out for him, but he didn't watch it because he felt the same way I did.

This is bullshit as anybody else would. And then a couple people on his show, they were like, James Fox's new film, like, you know, watching it happen because people are like, you know, they're talking about your movie on Joe Rogan. And it was like one,

and then another person brought it up. Then there was like another little mention and then a couple weeks go by and I'm in workout class. a bunch of middle-aged dudes get together, older than middle-aged. And we all just get together with dudes only.

Work out of class. We're doing pool exercise. Oh, wait, whatever. Yeah. Just, you know, we have fun. We put music on and we work out really hard and we all have a good laugh. And, you know, and every now and again,

I'll check my phone because sometimes I, my son's got an issue at school or something. And I'm, I checked my phone and it's Rogan. And he's like, he's like, oh, bro. Oh, my God. I just watch a moment of contact. Holy shit. shit like that. I was like, oh, thanks so much. I'm really glad you liked it. He goes,

he goes, uh, you want to come on my podcast next week? And I was like, does the Pope, is the Pope Catholic? And he puts LOL. Like he was really funny. And, um, so that really kind of catapulted it. And then, of course, you know, you know, the congressional hearings and all that stuff started happening and it all started going out. And I remember when I was watching the congressional, it was one of the first times that my son wanted to go play with me. And I was, I sat there in this chair and I was watching it live because I couldn't be there. from my phone and I just had tears flowing down my face. Just constant flow like a waterfall all the whole time.

Watching it going all the ridicule, all the laughter, all being made fun of them. And now this is starting to come out. And I can't tell you what that felt like for me. Someone who's just been ridiculed and laughed at. And that's why it's like today I'm getting heckled and people are complaining about the, you know, there's no photographic evidence and it's bullshit.

You know, it's like, okay, so what are you doing? are you going to Brazil four times in the last 12 months? Are you knocking on doors? Are you meaning with neurosurgeons and forensic pathologists and all these different, you know, firsthand witnesses tracking down military? Like, what are you doing? Like, I understand, you don't think that I want the photographic evidence? You don't think that I'm going after that with everything in my might.

I'm going on every big podcast across Brazil. We have the biggest, we're getting mentioned right now on the biggest platforms in all of Brazil. The events that we just did at the National Press Club, and the film and the It'selow's testimony is exploding across Brazil right now. 23 million followers, 20 million followers. It's like, it's happening, right? We have one of the biggest platforms in all of Brazil. They invited me on it, but I couldn't be there because I was here to be with you.

And I need to go home because my kid hasn't seen me forever. But if Itelow is going and other people, part of my team are going. So it's exploding across Brazil. I'd love to see, you know, we did this big event. at the National Press Club where he flew in witnesses to meet. We also had that meeting. I told you about earlier with a closed-door meeting with sitting members of Congress,

people in the task force, and just saying, hey, man, you don't have to believe these witnesses. They were very impressed with those witnesses. Neurosurgeon, forensic pathologists. You know, it's like, okay, what did you see? Yeah, face-to-face contact. Anyone who watches your second-

Yeah, launch an investigation, sorry. Watch the last, stick around for the last scenes of your second cut because they're so touching, but it really drives home that these folks are telling the truth. I tell you, man, like we, there's people are like, well, Dr. Eatalo, you know, in a video statement, said that, you know, he only saw the video. I was like, yeah, that was us.

We were going after him two years ago because we have someone who's been, you know, you need to talk to this doctor. So we've been doing that. We follow, believe me, I follow every lead. We've been going after it, Markleau, my partner was really boots on the ground. I'm always helping. support his operations when I'm back in the States. And he gets, he gets finally an interview, just a meeting with Dr. Italo and it was on a Zoom call. We'd heard that he'd seen the video.

And so that's what we're going after. Who showed you the video? Where's the video today? Like that that was my my sole purpose in life during that meeting on Zoom was, and he, he confesses that he did see the video. And we found out the name of the person that shot it. Unfortunately, died of a heart attack, but that person had a widow. He had a mistress who had a child with that mistress. We befriended them. We befriended the widow. We were digging through her deceased husband's affairs in his office,

bought his computer home. Like, people have no idea of like what we're doing behind the scenes. There's other operations that are happening right now that I can't even talk about. But I have a laser-like focus. Now, after that meeting, Italo, I didn't think to even ask him if you saw the creature. I didn't. Well, but take us back to 96 first.

I will just wrap this up real quick. And Dr. Itelow said, Yeah, I saw the creature And then he sat down very briefly with my partner And he said, I didn't see the he was at Did you see the bean? He goes, no But then he had a heart attack and he had You know, cancer, health issues

And that's when he decided a year later I'm going full malty and went out But yeah, let's back up So what is it? January 96? Yeah If I remember there's a farmer and his wife see a cigar shaped school bus shaped object Floating over their field

Enrico and Oralina defretas. Yes, DeFretas. And so that happens. And then we get... Very believable. Very believable. And then there's Carlos DeSuzza, right?

Carlos DeSuzza and the new witness, Fabio Fortado. Oh, right. That we just got. Right. And for the first time ever, we got Google Maps. Now, you don't know how things are going to line up. Google Maps, like, that's impressive because it was like, well, this person, where do they live?

Well, where did these guys? And where did Rorino and where did Carlos say? And for the first time ever in this new cover. We got Google Maps and we were like, oh my God. Boom, boom, boom, right here. Like it's right there. So I get goosebumps because and the same thing for, I mean, yeah, I did the drone shots. And that would get locations for different various interviews.

Oh, you saw the blockade here? You're the media that had the blockade. Okay, it was here. The girls had the encounter here. That makes perfectly good sense why they'd had the blockade. Sure. And there's three blocks away. Yep.

Just a couple blocks away. And then the capture. Guess what? Just a couple blocks away. Then the family of doctors that we interviewed, we got a full aerial view with the drone, just a few blocks away. The family that night saw an operation of a disc

flying slow and low over the area. This is the first time we put it together. Like, holy shit. Was this an extraterrestrial rescue operation? Like, I'm sorry, I know this is really hard to swallow, but if the accounts should be believed, that's exactly what it was. And we actually have a footage of a disc taken at night.

It's one of the best night disc footage. It's in the documentary and we repackaged it because I was like, well, hold on a second. That was shot here. How far away is that? Two months after 1996? Oh, wow. Could be connected. Don't know.

But this family describing this disc flying, they were like, I was looking for something. I said, how do you know I was looking for something? The whole family, like, because it was super slow. and it was going to the end, stopping, coming back, going and stopping. I'm like, wow, if that's true, that was an extraterrestrial search and rescue operation. And guess what? It was right over where the girls saw the being. If it was going to be looking for anything, that's the spot where it would be looking.

So take us through DeSuzza, the girls, the blockade, and then the capture. Yes. So January, 1996, there are sightings of a cylindrical shape object. Like people described it as a big school bus or like a cigar shaped. And it was like a metallic kind of polished aluminum, whatever. And had no, didn't make any, very little, little to no sound at all. And it didn't have any visible means of propulsion. Almost all the witnesses described had a gash in the back of it.

One guy, the new witness, Furtado, Fabio Furtado, he said that it was in, it clearly was in trouble and it was making some kind of weird noise. It seemed to be in trouble. But he looked at it from above, so he didn't see the gash. But they see this thing in distress. They're all expecting it to crash. Carlos Tossozo, who's an ultralight pilot

and a geography teacher, is driving up to the north from Sao Paulo, going up to Therese Garsohnis, I believe, was in the state of Minnesota Ice. And very early in the morning, he's going to go meet his buddies, he's going to go flying ultralights early in the morning.

I'm only 5 o'clock or something. and he's driving on Fernando Diaz, I think it was freeway, and he sees just outside Varginia, this farm called the Maillini farm, he sees this scar-shaped object just, he's like, what the hell is that? Like, it's struggling. He's like, whatever it is, it's barely staying in the sky.

Like, it's coming, looks like it's coming down. He thought, maybe this is some sort of experimental military thing, or maybe it's a blimp or like, what the hell? And then it saggers and it. then it just goes, boom, and hits this field in this, my lane, goes off the freeway, drives up this dirt road, gets to the impact site. He's like, oh, my God, whoever's, you know, flying this thing, they need help. That's what he was thinking.

He's a pilot. Yeah, he gets out of the car. And he said, James, the first thing I noticed, which I wasn't expecting is normally with a plane crash. You'd smell like kerosene or, you know, a jet A fuel or whatever, you know, that's kind of anticipated smell you'd get from a plane crash. He goes, this wasn't like that. This was like ammonia and like really strong rotten eggs or something. He goes, James, it was so strong. My eyes were watering. I had grabbed my shirt and I pulled my shirt over my mouth and my nose. Like,

Jesus Christ, what the hell? And he's looking around. He's looking at it and he picks up a piece. What he said? It was like just like aluminum looking and he, I don't know, shape kind of like this. And he picked it up and he was jamies it was light as a feather it was like barely feel it in my hands and um just when that was happening he was going to put it in his pocket the military trucks came in from the opposite direction but he said he crumpled it and then when he released it it it went right back in its shape which reminds me very much of roswell yes now so so this happens he gets threatened at gunpoint um he he leaves terrified like really three threatened and seriously threatened. I mean, those guys threatened everybody. Everybody that we interviewed,

either the blockade or even the media for asking questions, you ask one more question, you're going to jail. You know, this is a national security issue. As he said that across the board to everybody. He leaves. He's totally freaked out. At the time, he was still thinking like some sort of experiment. He saw somebody he shouldn't have seen, obviously, but he wasn't thinking extraterrestrial. He just wasn't. He stopped at a gas station, a few miles down the road, just to calm, get a coffee. He goes in, he orders a coffee, and then in this black, kind of dark blue or whatever car pulls up, two men in suits get out tall suits. And they knew his name. They knew where he lived. They knew his wife's name. All this stuff. You didn't see what you saw. You talk about this.

You're going to have some serious problems with your life and like da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da. And threatened him. And then left. And one of the witnesses at the gas station apparently said, you can't let those people talk to you like that. You need to get their license. plate number and here, take this piece of paper and go get their license plate number and report him. He goes out there and there's no license plate on the car and it's gone. So he hears, he starts hearing reports in the media about these girls saw this strange creature and that's when he was like shit. Maybe it has connected to what I saw, this UFO crash. Like, oh my God, maybe it was not of this earth. So he meets with a researcher named Claudio Cove. Clovo. Clodio Covey Ocovo goes one on

camera statement from him and then he vanishes for 26 years. And that was one of the things when I was talking to my partner, Markle-Leyal, co-producer, I said, we got to find Carlos. And they did, we did, ultimately, did find him after 26 years. And I don't know how long it took him to finally meet with me in Sao Paulo. And then I said, would you be willing to go on camera out of this, back to the site for the first time in 20, whatever it was, 26 years? And he's like, yeah, yeah, I'll do that.

It didn't take convincing? Oh, well, we massaged the friendship for a while. Hell yes. Are you kidding me? The guy didn't have, there was nothing to gain and everything to lose. But Marco developed a friendship. We slowly just like, hey, we're taking this investigation seriously. We really want to talk to you.

I'd have to talk to Marco, but it was months and months and months. And then I came there in 2021. And that's when I said, hey, maybe you'll come meet us in South Palo. We stayed at a hotel in Sao Paulo. You met with us. We talked, got to know each other a little bit. And then I asked him, hey, we really love to take you out to the site, to the site. And we did. So anyway, fast forward

January 20th, which was like almost a full week later. And these girls, Katia, Volkiria and Liliani, ages 14, 16, and 21 were walking through, taking a shortcut, walking through this field, it was like 320 in the afternoon. January's 20th is hot. So that's her summertime. Yep. Really hot day. They said that I was just at the cinder block wall. They said that there was some graffiti on the cinder block wall in this field that they were going through. And that kind of caught their eye.

They're looking at this graffiti. And then they're like, that a statue? Like, what the hell is that? And there was like, this creature like kind of slumped over and just looking, I mean, not really moving, just kind of sitting there up against the wall. The wall is here. And one of the- And they're right here, right?

They're right there 10 feet away, maybe eight feet away. And all of a sudden, I think Liliani, who's 16, she's like, screams. Like, oh, my God, what is that thing? And it turns and it looks at them. Locks eyes. And there's communication with the eyes. Lillianni is 16. She's got a younger sister, Volkeria.

She grabs her younger sister. I mean, she said there was communication. This thing was stressed. It was terrified. It was suffering. It was like really wanting help. But they thought it might be the devil. It had red eyes.

Like, you know, it was oily and suffering and the heat and really suffering. She said, this thing was suffering. Grabbs her younger sister, Volkiria, leaves Katia. It's 21. They high tail it out of there. She gets, I don't know how far, 100 feet, 150 feet. She's like, shit. We left Katia.

So she's like, you stay here, Volkiria. And she left her 14-year-old sister there, and she ran back. and Katia had just locked eyes with this being like for prolonged period. She grabs Katia, yanks her out of there and Katia to this day, I was just with her a couple days ago. Katia's like, I was going to help it because it was saying to me either help me or leave me be, like don't hurt me. Help me or leave me be. She's like, I wanted to help it.

And she's like, and I didn't. And I ran away from it. And then it got captured and I feel so bad. I don't know what happened to it. She really said that. She's like, I think about it all the time. So anyway, the girls highted out of there. And about 5.5.30?

Two military police officers, one by the name of Eric Lopes. People pronounce his name differently, Lopis, Lopes, L-O-P-E-S. They're on patrol for something unusual. I don't think they said an E-T is roaming around, but it was definitely some kind of strange creature, some whatever, just on patrol. And his friend and fellow police officer, military police officer, Marco Chorries was off that night.

But he called him up and he said, hey, I got this crazy like, you know, a sign man. I was supposed to be looking, you know, oh, you want to come with me? Sure. It gets in the car. And three blocks, two or three blocks away from where the girls had seen it, a couple hours later, that creature goes right across the road in front of him, screeches the brakes.

Marco Choriz, without a moment's hesitation, leaps out the back of the car, and he grabs it with his bare hands and puts it in the car. And they take it to bone apart. I just learned the exact hotel. I'm sorry, I can't remember the name of the hospital. The first one, apparently some person came out, some doctor came out and took a look at the creature. It was like, get that thing out of here. I don't know what that thing is. And so they go to regional hospital.

Yes. And they drop it off at regional hospital. And then Marco. Now there's speculation because the autopsy report, Marco got like scratch under his arm. They weren't sure if it was a previous existing abscess and that maybe the bacteria that killed him from the creature came from his nail or came from the whatever open cut

or that he got scratched by the nail of the DT in the process of it wasn't aggressive. It didn't put up hardly any bit of a fight. But he got this infection. He was hospitalized within a week or two and he was dead within a little three weeks, something like that. And we've interviewed his sister. We interviewed just recently in the new cut of moment of contact, new revelations of alien encounters. It's the first time I've ever really put that kind of blatant thing in a title.

But it really is alien in the sense that we've got now this neurosurgeon describing face-to-face contact, all the girls, with a creature that was alien to them and alien to everything they'd ever seen. But we have the two forensic pathologists, one that did the autopsy, and then the other one, Dr. Dr. Janini, who's owned the company, IPD Labs, that did the analysis on the tissue samples, and he's like, he's like, it's a rare bacteria on Earth, but this had evolved in a way that it was super resilient to any kind of antibiotics or any kind of treatment. He goes, I've never seen it behave in that fashion anywhere on Earth, and I've done over 50,000 autopsies my business, that bacteria.

And he says it on the record. Like, you know, and then he gives a statement, which you can provide your, your audience with. So that's pretty unprecedented, you know. And then, I don't know if you want to go into, we got the capture. And then now for the first time, because we didn't really know what had happened to the creature that was dropped off. And there were multiple, at least two. And now we're thinking there's possibly more because more reports coming in, more details. We got the chief of police, Pedro Aguilar,

we got his testimony for the first time ever. And he died just months later. Like God, we got that. And we're working with his family. And he didn't testify in the first cut, did he? No, no, no, no. No, he kept, he was like a bar soap in the bathtub. Right.

Because we had heard that we had heard that he had a photograph. And that's why we were going after him. Because I was going after, honestly, mate, like I was going after. I had enough, in my opinion, there was a, enough credible firsthand eyewitness testimony in the first cut for me to go, all right, now the only thing missing is that photograph or that video piece. So that's what I was, that's what I had a laser like I still do. But that led us to a bunch of people, a whole bunch of people,

some of which I still need to remain nameless because it's ongoing and I don't want, you know, the military to get there before I do. So I'm having to be kind of somewhat secretive, but I can assure your audience, there's no one on the planet that wants that more than I do. Trust me. And if I sat there and explained to you the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, lengths that I'm going to, that our team is going to. Alini Krasse, by the way, is a new producer on the new cut.

I throw a shot out to her because she's amazing. I'm working with someone who's actually completely bilingual now. With Marco, I love him to death, but he's English is not, you know, so it's really frustrated, but now I'm getting crystal clear communication with all the people. It's like, oh, my gosh, this is amazing. But we were led to him, so the chief of police by photographic evidence. And then as it turns out, we find out that he, too, participated in the event and saw the creature.

So like more and more style it comes out. And we're now starting to think that the creature that Dr. Itilo, the neurosurgeon at regional hospital saw was the first capture because he saw it during the morning of the 20th. And there was the capture by the two, there was a fire department. And when you're in the fire department of the police department, you're with the military. It's all connected to the military.

And so we now have details of, the chief of police, Pedro Aguilar, both from three of his children, his wife and his lawyer, all on camera for the first time. And now we have vivid details of what he saw that first capture. And we think that that possibly is the one that what the girl saw was not the same creature as what a neurosurgeon, Ethelow saw it because I was like, well, wait a minute, when were you at the hospital? He was like, I saw that thing in the late morning. Well, that capture happened in the morning.

and that was also alive. So now we're... They're both alive, right? They're both alive, yeah. Yeah, they're both alive. So now we're thinking, but there's also reports of a dead one. We got the guy at regional hospital that did the x-rays that wanted to be anonymous. Yes.

Marco went after him for five, six years when he was still working at the hospital. No, no, no, it was just no, no. Confirmed. Yeah, yeah, I participated. I took x-rays of it. It was in a bag, blah, blah, blah. But we finally got him to go on the record. Thank God.

And he's vanished ever since. then and then we got military acts. So we knew. Didn't they steal his or grab or confiscated all of it? All of it. He's the first time in history. And they were like, thank you very much. Shut your pie hole.

Yeah. So, but anyway, sorry, I'm rambling. There's so many little bits of details that I'm learning. But I'm thinking now that we have that first morning capture on the 20th that took place with the firemen. Now we have vivid details of that for the first time as of three days ago. That that's probably the ET that Etelos saw. Now, were they different?

races or species, slightly different variations of, they all have the big teardrop shape head, or are they like chameleons? Can they change when they're suffering? Do they smell? When they're scared and suffering in the hot heat, maybe they excrete? I really don't know. It's all speculation, right? Can you describe like what the creatures look like? Because these were typical grays. Yeah, so what the girls came within a few steps of in Broaddale, all three of them, was a about three and a half feet tall creature, spindly arms, spindly legs. Some people say it had like toes like this

with another one that maybe came out the side for stability, maybe in unless they're walking. And it had a big tear drop shape, red eyes, big head, tiny mouth, slit for a nose, no real ears to speak of. And the girls described it as like an organ, like almost like a heart. Like the skin was like a heart, like oily.

Excuse me like that, but like no hair. The oiliness is the strangest detail today. Yeah, I wonder like, they all said it was suffering in the hot. It was a really hot day in the summer, all sunshine. It was suffering, cowering, frayed. Did it exude that? Did it change color? I don't know.

But one of your witnesses made a really interesting statement about that that I hadn't considered, that maybe he said it looked like latex or silicon. Yeah. So maybe it was a suit of some kind. No, it definitely was a skin because I, because we interviewed military acts who'd seen it in the hospital. That one was dead and that was at Humonitas Hospital.

There are other, we have names of other doctors at Humonatos that are aware of it and are not, according to my context. I'm really in with the medical community now. I'm like, I just flew them to. to DC. I mean, we're like family now. We go to the local restaurants. We hang out with all these, you know,

top neurologists and forensic pathologists. And so, and they know what's going on, believe me. And I'm knocking on their doors. And I think it's, I think they're seeing that Dr. Italo, who, by the way, has everything to lose and nothing to gain. And if he's lying. And he was in the real.

room with this thing. Face to face contact for three or four minutes with a live being of non-human intelligence. Communication through the eyes limited, but he said that despite being in captivity, it had control of the room. His testimony is. It's so riveting. And people go, well, he said that he, you know, I was like, all right, well, let's just say he wasn't ready to fully, the fact that he admitted seen the video a year or so earlier was incredible. He wasn't ready to come out. I mean, the implications of a neurosurgeon who runs the department at this, at this, are significant for a number of reasons. And Virginia is a military town. Yeah. And his like, okay, you just have to look for a motive, right? He's not selling a book. He's not selling a doc. He's not selling his story. He would have to be

lying because I'm friends with all of them now. His wife, he'd have to be lying to his wife. He has to be line to his kids, both his daughter and his son, who just became a father, a couple days ago, his co-workers, his colleagues of 45 years in the medical community, cardiologists, neurosurgeons, forensic pathologists, lying to all of them. In fact, I have a video that I'd like to show for you because I brought the doctors together just a few weeks ago. First time, the known doctors, the ones known involved with the case, doctors said, Cesario who worked on the military police officer, Marco Shui's before he died. He's like, I threw the kitchen sink in him.

I've never seen bacteria not respond to any of the antibiotics we gave him. It's like, it just doesn't happen. I confirmed it independently. They shut down that hospital for a couple days. There was another, that was, yeah, that's where they did the x-rays. Yeah. But so we got Dr. Cesario. We got Dr. Itelho, the neurosurgeon.

Dr. Cesario, I think is a cardiologist. Dr. Janini, who founded IPD labs, who, who, studied the tissue samples, you said that he's never seen a variant of this bacteria in his life. He gave a statement on that. You can feature that. Then the guy that did the autopsy of the deceased male, brought them all together for the first time. How long have you known each? How long we don't? Just like 35 years, 45 years. This is like, do you believe him? And they're all just like, yeah, why, where's the motive? He's not asking for a dime. He's lying to the whole community. He's still doing brain surgery at the hospital?

all of his staff, his wife, his daughter, his son, his co-workers, his colleagues, not asking for a dime, not selling anything? The most compelling. What's his motive? None. And if it's true, and I'm pretty damn convinced it is, because it lines up with everything, if it's true, it's the most significant development in the history of the phenomenon. We've never had it before where you've had face-to-face contact with a captured alien. no testimony, particularly of his stature. It doesn't exist.

It's like people that poo-poo this case, it's like if you look into it, there's never been this much firsthand eyewitness testimony in the history of any UFO crash cases ever before. Didn't Dr. Ittle hear it in his mind? Didn't it communicate with that? He said there's a lot to learn from the eyes of that being

that it had the most tranquil, peaceful, compassionate, non-judgmental stare that he had, he's ever seen from anything. And then he kept describing it as a higher level of intelligence. He also revealed some details because I really went through it before we did this event at the National Press Club, which you guys can watch on, I think it's News Nation covered it live.

It's out there for free. You can just watch it on YouTube, whatever. But I really hammered him hard on because I wanted to get every possible detail I could in the short period of time at the National Press Club. And he was like, yeah, the bean, my first time I learned. looked at it because he was like, he goes, well, first of all, my partner, Marcos Venesis, did a little procedure. I think it was like a suture, whatever, he did a little stitch or something. And he goes, I was in there for an unrelated issue in the hospital. And my partner,

Marcos Venesis, fellow neurosurgeon grabbed me. And normally he goes, normally when he grabs me in the hallway, it's like someone's dying, I need your help immediately. He goes, it was urgent, grabs him and takes him into the ICU. And there was a makeshift ICU with like, a like a makeshift curtain kind of thing. And then before that, he's got a video that he's showing him on this screen. Some procedure he just did. And he was like, what the hell am I looking at? What is that?

And he described maybe children get this really rare thing where their heads can really swell up and weird deformities, whatever. He's looking at it goes, gee, man, it doesn't look like it's from her. What the hell is that? And the doctor, Marcos Vinesis, goes, it's right there. So he draws the curtain or goes around the other side and he goes, I said, how long was it before you knew it wasn't this earth, non-human?

He goes, the second I looked at it, I was like, holy shit. And he looked at it and he goes, my medical profession was initially like, okay, I look at a patient, is it in distress? Is it breathing? Is it, you know, and he did a quick evaluation. and he was like determined that like it was okay, it was stable, whatever. He's looking at it. And then the creature looks out the window and it was a blue sky

and looked out the window like longingly like it wanted to be out there. And then it looked back him in the eyes. And that's when he said he got the real communication that happened. What he was no longer looking at as a patient, he was looking at it as an entity, as a higher level advanced. intelligence entity. And he said it just had like, like it was looking at him as though he was a child. Do you know what I mean? And here we got a neurosurgeon who's like running the whole department operates on people's brains, plays piano like Mozart. And he goes, it was looking

to me almost like a child, not condescendingly, but like it was so advanced, so much higher like an angel. So he described it as an angel. He did. And I just say to people out there, it's like, you know, you have to look. First of all, we tracked him down. And, we wore him down and then he had a heart attack and he was lying in the ICU staring at the ceiling after we'd already confronted him on the video because that's what I was I was after the video and he um he's like if I if I come through this I'm not because Marcos Finneces died of a heart attack in 2018 he goes I'm not going to let the story to the grave the younger generation needs to know this happened and I'm a firsthand witness and so we went back we went back as I do

in January of 2020 was that 20? 2025 or January 2025? Was that a year ago? Yeah, we went back and that's when we interviewed the two forensic pathologists and we've been trying to get a hold of It'selo because we knew like the video, you know, didn't know that he had a heart attack, didn't know that he had like prostate cancer and surgery and all this other stuff. And we got the other, he would respond and then he would disappear and it was like, you know,

I jokingly said it was like grabbing a bar so over the bathtub because he was like pooh, poo, poo, you know, like, ah, he was just there. and then Dr. Armando, credit to you, mate, who did the autopsy on the deceased military officer and provided the tissue samples to Dr. Janini. He's like, I was like, yeah, you know, and why we're here, we really want to talk to Dr. Italo. And he keeps, like, kind of responding and then disappearing

like he wants to or he seems conflicted, like, ugh. And then he was, oh, yeah. And right there in the middle of the interview, just walking, you know, talking. and he's like, tomorrow morning, go to the hospital. And he wants to meet you around the backside, 10 o'clock the time it was. Backside of the hospital, okay. What's you going to, you know, we're like, shit, get all the camera crew ready. And that's when he snuck us through the maternity ward, down the corridors,

through the hospital, all cameras rolling, put on some gear. I'm like, what's happening? Why am I putting this gear on? Takes us into the ICU. That's where it happened. In that room. In that room. Oh, my goodness.

all on film, we captured it as it happened. Honestly, I don't even think he was prepared to go full Monty until like that the morning of. And like our partner, Alini, production partner, she's been amazing. And she's got a really, so does Marco, but she has a really, a wonderful, non-threatening presence about her.

You just look her in the eyes and you just go, okay, I'm in good hands here, you know? And I know that he grabbed her hand and she was looking at me like, okay, I'm just, you know, here I go, took us through various corridors. Then all of a sudden I'm putting on medical, you know, mask and what am I doing? Like, I don't understand. Everything's happening so quickly. We're all just takes us into the ICU.

And it was like, this is where the video, no, this is where the creature, I saw, huh? I was like, it all came out. And then the staff of the managers and everything came and started screaming at him. And he was like, fuck, I think I might have just. lost my job. And it was like, oh my God, I'm just trying to process what just happened. Holy shit, we have a neurosurgeon who just confessed that he had direct contact with one of the beings in captivity for three or four minutes in that bed right there.

Do you know what I mean? Yep. I don't think he was prepared for how emotional he was going to get. So then we get kicked out. He's like, I think I might have just lost my job. We go out and we're like, well, let's carry on this conversation. where are we going to go? We walk out and we're on the sidewalk now.

How about this cafe? Boom, walk into a cafe. We take over the cafe. We all set up, set up shop. And I was trying to get more out of him. And I was like, I'm just trying to process. We all were. At one point, I think it was David.

No, I don't know. Maybe it was me. Grabbed a camera. I think I did. I actually grabbed the camera from Dave West, my DP, and I just panned it across because I was like, I need to see everybody's faces right now because this is incredible.

And you look carefully. Even the sound guy. who was somewhat skeptical when he started on this journey with us. And now he's like, holy shit. And you see Marco like wipe his forehead. We're all processing. And then I said to him, what does it feel like after 29 years to talk about this? And he was like, I feel like I want to cry.

And he started to cry. And then the camera turned on me. And I was trying to talk. The words weren't coming out. I really didn't want to, like, I just like, I didn't want to cry because I, you know what I mean? Like, I want to keep it together and stay composed and, but I couldn't talk. Like I was like, I wouldn't be doing this for all these years. All the laughter, all the ridicule, all the hecklers.

If I didn't really believe this. Like, life is too short. You know what I mean? It was the most touching part of the whole film. Like, life's too short for bullshit. And I'm not saying, like, you have to believe this case. Don't. Don't believe it.

Check it out. Listen to the testimony. If it's true, and I'm putting my career on the line here, but if it's true, this is the case that's going to prove it once and for all. Remember Carlos' reaction? We took him to the scene? Yeah. How emotional he got?

Oh, my God. You can't fake that. You don't need Leonardo DiCaprio or Brad Pitt anymore. No. And then I get choked up. And then it's like, I've known this doctor. I mean, we met on the phone. He jokingly calls me, oh, my God, because when he confessed to seeing the video,

I was like, oh, my God. Where's the video? Yeah. So, well, we could talk about that in a minute. Okay. You know, he hugs me right there on camera. And he holds me, like holding my hands. Like, really, like we bonded right there in that moment.

Like, you imagine the weight off his shoulders. Like, and the risk. Like, he's got everything to lose. And again, I'll tell your audience, like, this guy's not selling anything. No. He hasn't asked for a dime for a story. He's still doing brain surgery. He's like, I'll take a public light attack.

or test tomorrow with my hand in a Bible, whatever you want. I saw this thing. And the younger generation need to know they're real. That coffee shop conversation was the light of test. Incredible, right? How do you, you know, so again, I understand the skepticism, and I know the need for videotape evidence, the photographic evidence.

There's nobody in the world trying harder than I am, okay? I promise you that. And I can tell you that the military is following me, following this case, no question about it. We're just trying to get to the people first. And I have a proton email, which I'd actually like to provide to you because I'm telling you any witnesses. Because before people were getting in touch with me on regular email, and I'm thinking, that's not a good idea. No, I'm under surveillance.

So we've got a proton email now, and I'll provide that to you. Yeah, we'll put it on the screen. Flash it on the screen. People can reach out to me because we're looking for folks on the American side. We're looking for videotaped evidence. We've announced a very large reward for said evidence. I've done it on a huge podcast all across Brazil. We're doing more podcasts right now, TV episodes, and we're stronger together, and courage is contagious.

And I've been saying that to people, we're stronger together and courage is contagious. And believe me, there are other doctors and there are people that are watching very carefully what's happening right now. Are there any videos you want to show us? We have about 15, maybe 20 before the next break. Okay, I think this is important. Sorry, I'll wait my nose here. This is just a couple weeks ago. happened to be with Amar from Yes Theory.

His team actually filmed this. And in Virginia, Brazil. And we're at Dr. Armando's house, who was the guy that did the autopsy on the deceased military officer. And it was the first time in history, we brought all the known doctors together. And so I just wanted you to share this little video, and I'll play it for you.

I'd like to... I'd like to ask Janini how long Janini as... Oh, it's okay. I don't need to hear it, yeah. And I thought we had subtitles, boys. No? Yeah, there we go. It's all in English.

Oh, yeah. Some of it's not, yeah. But basically, all that's Dr. Cesario. He worked on the military. And where did you shoot this? I shot this at Dr. Ramallah's house in Varginio was a little just a few weeks ago. That's Dr. Ramonio, who studied the tissue samples analysis

of forensic pathologist. The guy to the right is Dr. Aramon, he did the autopsy. And then Dr. Italo is right there, glaring his arm. So, doctors, he had face-to-face contact. had face-to-face contact with the living entity at regional hospital on January 20th, 1996. And I'm asking these guys, how long do you know him? Do you guys believe him? And everyone's like, I've known in 45 years, I've known in 35 years. He's still doing brain surgery.

Like, you know, I just think it's important. And it got their wives there. All their wives are there. Their children are there. This is, like, real, you know what I mean? Like, these guys, I just can't imagine why. How he would benefit from life. I'm at a loss. Yeah, right. Okay.

Yeah, so that's, and anyway, I don't have to go through all of these, but I want you to, if you're seeing this or not, but we don't need to watch this. Whatever you play, we'll see. Yeah, so this is, I'll just describe this. This is, I took video statements from firsthand witnesses, children, wives. That's one of the sons of a firsthand witness that was in military.

police. This is his daughter. This is his wife. All saying, yeah, my husband was a first-hand witness. He saw the creature. And it's important because he said he was a first-hand witness. His name is Pedro Aguilar. He was the former chief of police. And he's the one that participated in our film and then died. Now, he told us on film that he was the first, he did see the creature. He did participate in the event. But he didn't go into any specifics. But it's one thing to like, you know, go on camera and say that, but then when he tells his wife and he tells his children, yeah, man, this happened, this is real, I participated. And then we talked to his lawyer. It just changes everything. And this is the actual site. So on the other side, I might actually play this kind of fun. So you know,

the cinder block wall where the girls came within eight to 10 feet of that creature in broad daylight. Yeah. So on the other side of that wall, just like that far away, is a mechanic shop. So we went over to the mechanic shop and we actually got one of the witnesses who was on the other side of the wall while the ET was there. And he talked about like he got there

right after the girls had seen it and saw the imprint where it was. He smelled the smell. Like, he described it. Yeah, yeah, he smelled it. Yeah, he is right there in the blue shirt. Exact location. The girl saw the creature.

And this guy's a mechanic. That's the cinderblock wall. And then right on the other side of that, wall was a mechanic shop. He was there that day. Isn't that crazy? Unbelievable. Military activity.

And he's like, oh yeah. I walked right over here. I saw the thing on the ground. I smelled it. I missed it. So he was working on a car when the girls were looking at an E.D. Like right there. You know?

It's so crazy, you know? Anyway, there's a bunch of other statements that, so we, I had Lilliani, Volkiria, and Katia. apply for visas. We had military acts who drove the creature. All of his military records, all of his photographs

of the truck that he was in the operation driving the creature. We had Marta, the sister of the deceased military officer. We had... What about Marco's wife, the officer who died? It was Marco, right?

Yeah, well, I'll get to that one second. We, we, we, um, I hired an immigration lawyer. They were going to come. The military guy who drove the bloody creature was going to come. And he goes, look, I'll meet with members of Congress behind the scenes, full identity, show him who I am.

I drove the creature, blah, blah, blah. And I'll also go up to the podium, but I'm going to go up there with a mask. And I was like, that's, yeah, great. And I've told the audience before, I was able to track down who that guy was. He's a legitimate. Oh, he's a legitimate. I've seen all the photographs. I actually got a statement from him with showing me all the photographs.

I'll probably be releasing that soon for free so people can see. but I'll have to blur certain things out and change his voice. But all their visas unfortunately got denied. It was like six as we go through all the different names. But yeah, devastating. And I even had Congressman Burleson's office working on getting their approval. One was approved. Katia was approved on the spot.

They all went together. Let's see, Liliani was denied. Marco was denied. And then there was military acts. Marta and Katya that were under additional review. So it was like two denied, three under additional review and then one approved.

So that was a pretty good ratio. Yeah, but denied them what grounds? Who knows, man? They don't really say anything. It's like, oh, ask a couple questions. No. So anyway, but then we get Congress involved, immigration lawyer,

and we're going back and forth. And then after, they kept waiting too. I was like, could you guys, where are you guys? Like, I'm doing this event. You know I'm doing this event. Like, can you know. And then long story short, they waited, waited, waited, waited, wait, waiting, wait, wait, to the last possible.

Like, towards the end of December. In fact, I got back, I got back on Christmas Day. My son's like, where did you get me for Christmas? I said, me. And I, yeah. And, and so, God, maybe the 20th, 15th, I don't know, of December. Even the one that was approved, all done. So we flew back to Brazil and I did statements.

And those are some of the statements. If you want, I provided them to you. You guys can show the various statements. It's at a podium. The city of Virginia with help with the mayor gave us this official space with the Brazilian flags. It's a great backdrop. And we did, you know, short 90 second statements from the various people that had their visas denied and other people as well that did. Anyway, you should play some of those with your audience.

We'll put those in. We'll put in the autopsy photos. But I want to know about Eric Lope Lopes. Did you ever get a hold of him? Because his scene in the first, Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. We threatened to shoot you guys if you didn't leave the property. Well, I got a new development just a couple days ago.

There was another security guy that met with him, and he said that he was, he was like, you know, I wasn't, I don't think I would have shot James, but I was seconds away from taking my gun out and fire, pop, because he did have a gun, as we suspected he did. but he was going to shoot a couple in the sky first. That's what he said. But we did get a hold of his wife.

Now his wife, funny story. His wife is the sister of Marco Chorries, the deceased military officer. Yes. Marta? No. Marta is a sister. Sorry, yeah, Marta is Marco. Yeah, so, sorry.

Marco Churice, who handled the creature and died, had two sisters. Okay. Marta and his other sister, I'm sorry, I don't remember her name. But she married Eric Lopes after his death. Because they were really good friends and they'd known each other, right? And so I contacted her through Marta. Somehow I got her number. We went through either Marco or somebody else.

What is it going to take to get, and this is after he threatened to shoot us, what it's going to take to get your husband to come forward? She said, bring my brother back to life. And he'll come forward. But we're still working on him. We're still working on them. Other people are working on them. The mayor sent a police officer around to his house a week ago.

A police officer liked to talk to him. And he didn't want to talk. But he might. He might talk. He might at some point talk. If he sees what Dr. Idala did, he might. He might. He might.

It's getting more attention now than ever before. And, yeah. Again, I just say that this is, you know, This, we've had this debate for decades, crash retrieval, Roswell, all this stuff, all the congressional hearings, all the allegations from top, you know, aerospace engineers, physicists that we have a crash retrieval, a legacy crash retrieval program. And this case could, could really settle the debate once and for all.

It really could. We'll take another quick break when we come back. We'll talk about whatever you want, but I would like to get into how suddenly the United States Air Force shows up on this case. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. All right.

We'll be right back. Back with James Fox. That's a nice ring, too. That's it. A big turning point for me in a moment of contact, because I was riveted. And then we get to, I don't know, about two-thirds through. And suddenly you're interviewing someone who was a aircraft controller. Oh, yeah.

Yeah, yeah. And now the U.S. Air Force enters the picture. Yeah. So it seems like we've got Virginia, Campinas, Esa, and Yusuf, as they call it, USAF. Yeah. Did you see the FOIA request that we did in 2022? And we got a response in 2025 from the CIA? Yes.

And the response was, yeah. Access, we can neither confirm or deny due to the National Security Act of 1949. Your request is denied. It's like, CIA. What the hell was with the CIA? It would say, what? Really weird. Yes.

So I think it was 2021 when I was shooting for the whatever, umpteen time. And that's when we finished shooting for a moment of contact, the first version of it. It has been going on for 16, almost 17 years. My God. And the flight control officer, Marcos Ferres, Ferdes, F-E-R-E-S, came forward on a podcast. He was like, yeah, and he's friends with this other flight control officer. They were their friends.

And he said, yeah, this, you know, on or around the 20th of January, this Usaf flight was coming in. And I was like, Usaf, United States Air Force, USAF. Excuse me. And he goes, it didn't have all planes coming in from outside the country, have to have government, Brazilian government authorization to land. This plane didn't have that. And he goes, I have to deny a plane without this authorization.

A high-level Brazilian military official came in the room and said, let the plane land. And it landed at an airport in Campinas. I have the name of the airport when we talk about the movie. And either one helicopter or two helicopters came out of it. It was probably a C-17, according to all the Air Force people that I've talked to. It was a cargo plane. helicopter went to Brazil, came back.

It was two helicopters, Ginsburgville, came back, loaded some stuff, excuse me, loaded some stuff on the plane, and buying border is what he said. Went back to America undisclosed location. So we filed a FOIA for all incoming flights from the U.S. into Campinas in January. I think I put like maybe January 10th or something to the end of the month.

It was all January. two weeks or something. Yeah, for a two, three, week window window. Discoverer base went like a week extra on both sides. And honestly, the response came so late, I forgot that we even sent them for you. And then in 2025,

we got a response from the CIA. And that's when they, you know, denied. So now we actually made this plea at the National Press Club last week. Was it last week? 10 days ago, whatever. A United States Air Force Colonel. spoke and retired.

Also, a fighter pilot had a really dramatic encounter with UFO in 1980 over Europe, northern Europe. It's an incredible story. But he's like, look, let me just tell you the, and he talked to members of Congress too. He's like, let me just tell you, if that flight happened and I suspect it did, there's going to be paper trails. And he went through all the different scenarios. Like the flight, you know, the flight distance of full tanks is 2,500 miles, the distance is there, It's 4,500 miles. Therefore, it had to have air support.

That's going to be a paper trail. When it landed, it had refuel. There's a receipt who paid for the fuel. That's going to have a court. I don't care if it's a classified mission. It's got to have a flight plan going back. There's another paper trail and goes to all the various things. And we did that primarily for members of Congress or ourselves.

It's like, hey, you don't have to believe this case. You can find it compelling enough to dig a little deeper. So now we have members of Congress that are willing to, part of the task force, hey, Let's go find those flight records. Let's see what we can turn up. So now it's just like hopefully, you know, they're not of, they probably are.

Of course they are aware of the fact that we're going after these records. So hopefully they're not like getting rid of them, you know? Yeah. So, yeah. Did you say you have tail numbers or any identifying information on those? Yeah, so we, the, the, um, Colonel identified every single C-1-7 in the fleet at that time. And there were a handful of them from various bases

and got every single tell number. Because we have photographs of what could have been one of the flights because there was somebody in 1996, but it wasn't at Campinas. It landed somewhere else to refuel some Amazon. Some research that told me about it. So we want to see if we can read that picture carefully enough that we could make out a couple of numbers.

So the Air Force colonel has been finding all the tail numbers. Now he's getting flight records for all those tell. This is all happening right now. So we're trying to find that specific plane flight landing where it landed. Because we could find out like where it landed. We could find out potentially like who the crew were, how many people are on board, where those people are today, right? Yep.

He estimates that 30 to 40 people at minimum Americans would know about that flight. We're involved with that flight directly or indirectly. So that's where we're making a plea to anybody in the American side Because wouldn't that be great? Yeah, what do you think was loaded on that plane? The bodies? E.T. And two bodies? I don't know how many bodies.

I don't know how many bodies. I would say at least two, at least two. And probably some of the debris, I would imagine. And I don't know. What gives United States military jurisdiction over that? You know, a reporter asked, the question, that very question a couple years ago to an intelligence official, you know what they said? Because we can. Write a check or?

Or we're coming in. We're going to get it. We're coming in. The easy way or the hard way. Yeah. I mean, we just took out a president in Venezuela. True. Yeah. True. So we got a UFO crash. My understanding is that the Americans were aware of this UFO coming in and alerted the military officials in Brazil. And I've heard that from a number of research. In fact, I've even gotten close to getting a name of who provided that. But anyway, I've heard that from a number of pretty credible sources. Yeah, I was able to track down some information about craft being seen in that area over that time. And then it kind of goes dark.

So my suspicion is that there were some radar hits about those craft in that area or at least one of them. And then someone got involved and said, stop tracking it. We got it. You guys don't need to worry about it. That's my suspicion. Yeah, I'm optimistic. I mean, you know, it only takes one courageous American to come forward, you know, and reveal that.

We get the flight numbers. Maybe they don't come forward publicly. Maybe they come forward in a skiff with certain members of Congress, part of the UAP task force. There are a handful of Congresspeople that I actually trust that I think really do want to get this information out to the public that are really seriously and authentically interested in, knowing more and being more transparent because they feel like everybody has a right to know about

this stuff. And so I'm optimistic on that front. And, you know, like I said, like we had meetings in Leslie Kane's article that people should look up. Leslie Kane and Ralph Blumenthal in the debrief gives us very detailed account of our meetings, our closed door meetings on the Hill with firsthand witnesses on the case and our plea to them like, hey, you don't have to believe these guys. They found their testimony, very compelling. And they were very, very interested in what the doctor had to say, I can assure you. And really asking very detailed questions to him, when is it you have a neurosurgeon describing face-to-face contact with a live entity

from non-human intelligence, right? Yep. Never before in history. So there seemed to be a genuine concern, a genuine willingness to do some digging behind the scenes. And then Congressman Burleson attended the conference and spoke. as did a senator from Brazil. So, you know, this could be the beginning of the beginning. It could be.

Could be the beginning of the beginning. What is it about Brazil? Because we have compelling cases going back to at least the 70s, like the Claris case. 50s. To the 50s. Ubutuba. That's right. Yep, there's actually metal material.

That's right. High level, high, 100% magnesium. I can't remember what the, but it's very unusual. And it would be, it would, the, I'm told, I'm not a metal, metallurgist, but I'm told by, like, I think it was Gary Nolan and Jacques Valet, who've studied the metal samples, isotope, they looked down into the microscopic level. Yep. That it would be extremely expensive to replicate what they found in that beach in 1957.

It was reported something exploded and it rained down all this debris on a beach in Ubutuba. That was like in 1957. That's right. It was witnessed by a fisherman. actually reined onto his boat and killed his dog. Oh, really? I didn't hear that part, yeah. Yeah, some of that metal was tested, and they found using an electron microscope that

it was arranged in a lattice that could serve as a wave guide for electromagnetic spectrum in the terrahertz range. Wow. Which is something that we couldn't do that in the 50s. Wow. I just remember Gary Nolan telling me that it would cost so much money to replicate, even today. Right. So that was impressive.

But then you have Colaris in the 70s. Very fascinating. case. First case I've ever heard of where there seemed to be some level of hostility. That's right. Well, tell us about the case. Tell us what you know. Well, what I know is I haven't done a deep dive into this case. Jacques Filet has. I think Jacques Valais has probably written a book about it. There were, this was, this went on for a while. It might have been the whole year of 1977. It might have been longer. But there were UFO seen. There were beams coming down from some of the UFOs attacking some of the people in the village, burning their skin, or maybe they're

taking skin samples or blood samples, I don't know. That's what was reported. There's other testimony of the Americans got involved and they came and there was film footage of an object the size of a football field, shape of a triangle coming out of the Amazon. That footage apparently exists. There are a bunch of photographs that I actually feature in the first cut of moment of contact. Original photographs that were released by the Brazilian Air Force. Yeah, over a thousand photographs. There was also, exactly, in all kinds of documentation, all kinds of stuff come out of that case. Yeah, if you guys want to look this up, this is Operation Prato, which means saucer or plate. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Operation Plateau or something. Yeah, it's a plate or whatever,

a disc. And there was a military gentleman or actually featured his testimony in the first moment of contact. And he went on camera and he had died under extremely, extremely mysterious conditions. He apparently had a close encounter of the third kind. He actually saw the entities. And that was in the 70s. They hanged themselves in this hotel or something crazy. You have to look it up.

Hung himself from almost the base of his bed. It's very strange. And I think that was just about two or three weeks after he gave testimony. After he had that on-camera testimony. To Givert. Yeah. Yeah. Really good.

I mean, thank God. I know. It's terrible. So that's, that case. Then you had UFOs over Brazil in 1986. Was that the year of the story? saucer? It's called UFOs over Brazil.

Yeah. So that's kind of what it's known. It's 1986. And they had a press conference. They had the pilots. I mean, quite honestly, it was very similar to the two consecutive weekends in Washington, D.C. in 1952.

The rut's right. It was almost like an invasion, you know. And they engaged with them in the airplanes. Again, I feature some of that in the first cut of moment of contact. If you guys want to check it out. And then, of course, you've got

Virginia. which quite honestly, I think I can't think of a better crash retrieval case, particularly involving the Americans, known in the world. I think it's the best, most well-documented, and it's getting better by the day. It is. It's something about the Amazon that intrigues me. You know, yeah, and I apologize to your audience for this. I mean, the only case that I know extremely well,

and I've done sort of a glance at the other cases, but the one I put a laser-like focus on is Varsenia. I know that case pretty well. I've been really digging my... And I learn new stuff every day. I'm trying to put more pieces of the puzzle. There's still missing pieces. But like I said earlier,

I think this is the case that could settle the debate. For sure. How long did it take the U.S. Air Force to get involved in that? Almost immediately. Really? Yeah, because according to the flight controller, it was on around the 20th. Okay.

So it would have been, you know, the same day or maybe the next day after the girls saw the creature, like all that activity and hoopla. I don't know the exact date, but it was on or around the 20th of January, and the flight came in, and all the military people I talked to, everybody involved in the case all say, I can't say this for sure, but rumor has it. The Americans came. The Americans came.

The Americans came. The Americans came. They came to Kim Pinas. And we have the very gentleman that was one of the people in operation of the transport of one of the beings, possibly two of the beings from Humonitas Hospital, and went to as a military base. Apparently they backed the trucks up to the wall for, I don't know, a few hours of the night. And then they continued their journey on Dompedro, I think it's called Freeway all way down to Espasex's military base and Campinas. And then that's when the Americans landed. And actually, it's so funny, too, because you.

you hear all the accounts of the people that we talk to. It's like, yeah, they all, even including the military chief of police, he said the same thing. Campinas, and that's when the Americans came in. So it's like, everything makes sense. It does. The accounts of the plane came in here. This is where I dropped it off. It all went here.

Like, it just big cargo transport plane, helicopter coming out the back, going to Virginia. It's like, what the hell else were they doing there? Was that, was Dr. Itelow's patient, was that being still alive? Yes. It still was alive. Fully alive. Well, yeah. I mean, I don't know how long it stayed alive,

but it was fully alive and fully doing well on the 20th. Wow. So when you spoke to Eric Davis, he talked about alien species. He talked about the grays, the Nordics, a lot of these. So what's the taxonomy of this particular alien that was in Virginia? I mean, how many species, I know we're speculating, but this is a storytelling show.

Yeah, yeah. this is really, this is, okay, so there's a segment with Jacques Valet because he was unable to attend the press club meeting that we had. And it was January 20th, the 30th anniversary of the incident. And that's when we held it in Washington, D.C., and we presented, because Jacques couldn't be there. And Jacques goes out of a limb and describes various cases and different types of creatures or beings or non-human intelligence, whatever you want to call them.

And I think that you should show your audience that clip because it's very interesting. He talks about exactly what you're mentioning now. Do you get a sense of are these beings from other planets or are they here? What do they want? I wish I knew. Speculate. Well, I mean, it's, yeah. I mean, from all the different people that I've talked to and all the different

alleged firsthand witnesses to close encounters with the third kind, there seemed to be different races, different agendas, different. I mean, because you've got, you know, the quintessential, you know, almond-shaped eyes, black eyes, gray, spindly arm, spinning the legs. That seems to be, you know, the worker bee or whatever. Some of them think that they're biologically engineered, you know, entities with intelligence. What do I know?

You know, that seems to be, some people describe brown screen or white, skin or gray skin, but the big eyes, the big tear drop shape head, the three digits, I think three fingers in the thumb, seems to be fairly consistent. But then you've got people like Travis Walton. Describing creature, human-looking, you know, like beautiful, blonde, blue eyes, humans. Sure. Very attractive. I guess they call them the Nordics.

The Nordics, the tall white, Charles Halls. Yeah. You've got those types And then you've got You know if the account is to be believed You've got you know Jason Sands And his convoy in 1994 It talks about this

And he was I thought was really odd Is that you know he was dressed in Military outfit And Jason said they're all And like looking at his boots and his boots And he's been walking through the dry desert D dusty desert

His boots were immaculate Like spotless but he described the big eyes but they weren't almond shaped they were just really big, dark and no real ears yeah no ears no you know

and that's a different type and was that entity if it's true was that entity capable of projecting how it wanted to be seen sometimes you wonder about that like why was his military outfit spotless

in the desert according to the witness you know um so we could be dealing with all the above. We could be dealing with like interplanetary. Maybe there's some that live under the oceans.

Maybe, maybe they live on the backside of the moon. Who knows? You know what I mean? Like, maybe they're interdimensional. They come in and out. Right. Just like to, you know, change the frequency a little bit. I really don't know.

I'd love to know. I'd love to know how many different species or races. I'd love to know what their agenda is. I'd love to know why they don't make their presence more overtly known. Because you look at, like, I've studied a number of different, like, you know, so-called landing cases, whatever. You know, I can go into detail with that, but. Please do.

Well, like, I, okay, I'll just go into a little bit, 1964. It was April 24th. The 1964 was a police officer by the name of Lonnie Zamora. He was in a hot pursuit of a speeding car. It was like, late after. afternoon is around coming up on five o'clock. And he saw this egg-shaped, white egg-shaped thing whizzed across the road in front of him, like maybe off in the distance, some kind of flash.

He thought maybe it was like a dynamite shack that might have, I don't know, something he needed to go investigate. So he terminates his police chase. He takes a right and he goes up his dirt road. And down in Arroyo, he sees an egg, basically, could be a tick-tac, right, an egg-shaped object had a little symbol on it and two small childlike creatures stepping around on the bottom just like you know outside on the ground excuse me he's like looking he's like god damn is that like it's a car crash two kids like what hell am i looking at and one of them excuse me

one of them looks him right in the eyes and he startled yep the creature was startled Lonnie was startled. So Lonnie breaks contact and he drives because like, so the road, let's say the road is like here, right? The road wraps around like that. He's here and he sees the landed craft and the entities and he gets face contact. By the time he got around to here to get a closer look,

the craft was still sitting on the ground spooling up, but the hatch had closed because he heard of thumb. and the creatures were gone and the craft departed. Now, if you look at where the craft landed just on the outskirts of town, I don't know if it had a problem

with their gathering soil samples, God only knows, I have no idea. But they did it in a spot that would minimize any potential exposure. They landed in this little recessed arroyo, right? So they would minimize the chance of being seen. And where they were spotted, they were evasive.

and they got in and left, they could have established some level of communication. Sure. Could have driven over there. They could have, you know, they didn't do that. They left. Now, if you look at the Travis Walton case, which I consider a very credible case

because there were like seven witnesses, seven witnesses of the craft and his alleged, I would say abduction. I don't think it was an abduction. I think that he got into the way of the propulsion of the craft and affected him somehow and they came back and got him, brought him back to life.

and then dropped him off. Now, if you look at where they dropped him off, where they took him was a very remote area in the snowflake Arizona up in the mountains. I've been there several times. It's remote, okay? He would have died. If they had dropped him off where they picked him up,

they didn't do that. They dropped him off on the outskirts, five days later on the outskirts of town. If the accounts were to be believed, they dropped him off on the outskirts, close enough to like a pay phone or, you know, where he can get help. But they did it at night.

and they did it in an area that was a dip down where they could like drop him off and then get the hell out of there to minimize any potential for any exposure. So they cared enough for his well-being, but they also didn't want their presence known, widely known. Do you know what I mean? So you look at like cases like that

and you go, all right, well, you look at what they do, what they do, and then you look at what they don't do. And sometimes what they don't do is evidence of, of potentially their objectives or their agenda, you know, because if they wanted to make their selves overtly known, they just hover over the next football game.

Sure. You know, Super Bowl, whatever. Game over. Yeah, take me a cheer leader. But they don't do that. Nope. They did some pretty bold maneuvers. I call it like the show of force during the 1940s and 50s

when they were fleets of them flying over America. I mean, all the newspapers, actually 52, the 52 wave was phenomenal. Mm-hmm. And you look at the White House, buzz in the Capitol building in 1952, two consecutive weekends, scramming military jets. That's pretty provocative, right? You look at the case in June 13th, 1997.

Don't quote me on that exact date, sorry. March, March 13, 1997 in Phoenix. That craft, even according to the Governor Fife Simonton. Oh, this is the Phoenix Lights. So I investigated that on and off for 10 years. And I interviewed families. They were lying on the front lawns watching this colossal mammoth, like a floating city, like float over the top, big boomerang shape thing where they could look up and see metal

compartments, blah, blah, blah. For hours, this thing was up there. Oh, yeah, it went from the north all way down to the south, ended up like Tucson. It flew over Interstate 10. I mean, it was a witness by so many people, including the governor. Right. And that's pretty provocative, like flying low and slow. And it was done at a time when everyone was out under the night sky trying to get a glimpse of

the Hellbob comet. So that's provocative. I mean, that's something, right? And then you've got Hudson Valley sightings. You've got the Belgian sightings in the late 80s, early 90s. Provocative. I mean, I interviewed a police officer who was involved in the Hudson Valley in the 70s. I don't know the exact year.

But he said this massive, triangular-shaped size of a football field object was floating over the top of him. I talked to the police officer myself. He goes, I was kind of curious. I took my flashlight out and flashed it at the object. This is in the 70s. And he goes, son of a bitch, that thing responded. Bam, the laser beam light down at my feet.

Wow. Like, shit, I wasn't know if that was like a friendly gesture or if that was like a shot across the bow. Like, so there's been some very provocative. Do you know what I mean? I do. But they don't make themselves overtly known. which also makes me wonder, you know, yeah, like I said, you look at what they do and you look at what they don't do.

We've got, clearly something's happening. Clearly, the military or someone knows what's going on. Do you ever find yourself frustrated that you're almost playing a cat and mouse game? Very much so. Yeah, I mean, like, you know, the Virginia case, like, you know, I'm all in on that right now. Yeah. And there's nobody on planet Earth that would like to find that photograph, find that piece of video footage.

Now we have names and people that had it from people that have seen it. I just got a new name a couple days ago from a doctor, a neurosurgeon. And we were texting back and forth with them. And like, well, I'll talk about whatever, but I don't want to talk about Virginia. Yeah, you know, it's like, but this individual confessed that he was shown the video from Marcus Phineas, but not on the record yet, but we're going to continue working on him. So we have names. We're hoping that people are watching all the attention this case is getting and that people

are going to, you know, decide, hey, man, if I'm ever going to come forward now is the time. Because people in their 40s are now in their 70s, people in their 50s, now in their 80s. You know what I mean? Like, now's the time. So it would have been 30 years ago. So how old would have Dr. It's a little bit? been, he's 74. So he would have been, what, 40, 50, 60, he'd have been 44.

Right. About 44 when it happened. You know, he's 74. So someone in their 40s, they're, you know, they're on the cusp of retirement, you know, probably a lot less to lose, wanting their grandchildren to know the truth. So I'm encouraged. I think, I think it's ripe. Now is the time that this stuff could come out.

And it is coming out, but more. We just need a few more. doctors, we need the video, and we need the American side to come forward. And then we've got a slam dunk. Yeah, it's the American side. I think that's the bottleneck there. We're working on it. I hope that video still exists because a lot of people are invested in making sure it never sees the light of day. That's for damn sure. That's for sure. We were in contact with people. After the first cut came out, we were contacted by a number of people. Sometimes, you know, you can kind of tell, because I've been contacted for years, probably witnessing.

is you can just kind of tell when you get one that you go, hmm, okay, this is wazzing an eyebrow. And that's when, you know, someone will, it's very short. It'll be like, I've got what you're looking for, you know, kind of thing. It's supposed to write me like a novel. It's like, you know what? It's like, and, and they could have been joking, but you get back in touch of them and they're just gone.

It's like, well, why did they, you know, and so it makes, be paranoid thinking like am I being watched again we did a proton email which you're going to put on the screen for people to get in touch with us particularly anybody on the americans have anybody who witnessing the virginia case and not to be rude but if you have a whole UFO story that's unrelated please save it for another time i just want to put a laser like focus on on virginia video or any participation in the flight um from campan inspects back to the states i did get contacted by one individual via email he said have been weighing on me and my family for decades. I was like, oh my God, we did it, you know.

And then I was, he's like, you contact me like this. I'll show you the email. You contact me like this. Just, you know, conversations terminated. So I did everything he told me to do. Waited about 36 hours after he sent me the first email. It was like, oh, my, oh, I don't know, this isn't who you think it is. My email got hacked and, uh, I don't know anything and goodbye.

So I just thought, really? So I waited like six months and then I sent a separate email not part of that thread based on the email address. Hey, this is so-and-so tree service. You know, I'm coming to cut your hedges, da-da-da, because I was hoping like maybe he'd be like, I just need to meet with you to give you an estimate, you know, and I was like, do you know what I mean?

Yeah. Because I thought, well, maybe. And then I finally got some little response and I thought, uh, and then it was just, psh. How do you vet your stories? How do you, how? Well, you got to go meet the people. I mean, you know, also, you know, I tell because I had people telling me just last year. Like we've got, I've got the video as a woman. I got the video. You need to come. I'm giving it away for free. I just, I can't, this is a burden.

I don't want this in my life anymore. I want it out of my life. Like, just get it away. It goes for her husbands or something. And I said, I'll come, but I said, I can't just drop everything in the middle of, I'm editing movie. fly, excuse me, fly all the way to South blah, blah, blah in Brazil without any kind of roof. Like I, you know, I'm sorry, I can't do that. And we went back and forth for a long time. And I said, just show me like two frames.

Just one picture and I'm on a plane tomorrow. And then after like months of back and forth, like, you don't, you know, I'm down, and that was it. That person's gone. Did she have it? Was she bluffing? I don't know. But I wasn't willing to fly away to Brazil just because someone said they had.

had it. Right. Maybe she did have it. I don't know. But why wouldn't you show me one screen? Show me one screen and I'm there. What pictures have you seen that you were convinced? Like, this is legit.

I would say one of the best photographs ever. It's in my film, the program, which you can watch for free on YouTube movies. And it's bloody good, man. We got a bit of background on it as well. Taken in 1990, Calvin, Scotland. and David Clark is the researcher that uncovered it, and it's a long story, but I'd heard about this case

because I interviewed Nick Pope, who was part of the MOD UFO desk in the 90s. And I probably interviewed him in the early 2000. Well, I talked to him in the early 2000s, probably very early 2000s. And I was like, oh, you're at the UFO desk. What was the best case? You know, like, what did you see?

You know, Nick Pope goes, Oh, there was two hikers in Scotland. He didn't say Calvin. He just said, Scotland, broad daylight, six prints, beautiful, like, diamond-shaped, you know, like craft hovering in the sky with a military jet going right. I was like, ugh. You got to be kidding me. You can see this online if you guys want to look at the Calvin UFO. I pestered him and I pastored him and I pastored him and he goes, we had a big poster of it on the wall and da-da-da-da-da-da.

the UFO desk. He goes, I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. And I said, Nick, no one threw that picture away. It's still somewhere. Like, what about the names of the guys that you work with? They're retired. Where are they now? Like, I pastored them, pastored them, pastor them.

They can never, excuse me, I could never get it out of them. And then this researcher, David Clark, he finds some FOIA documents, released documents from the British, from the administrative defense. And one of them was like redacted. It was like the Royal Air Force Press Officer blocked out in blah blah, blah, Scotland. And he's like, who is the Royal Air Force Press officer in Scotland? And that is.

Oh, Craig Lindsay. So he contacts Fred Lindsay. And long story. short, which went on for a while, Craig Lindsay had gotten a call from a local newspaper. Maybe it was like the Scotland Yard or something. Anya. Look it up. And they said, oh, you know, we're here trying to, you know, get a quote from the RAF about this,

about this UFO photograph. And he's like, I don't know what you're talking about. What are you talking about? They said, well, there's these two guys that are going to publish this story. And we just want to comment on what this might. what this could possibly be. It's got a military jet. He goes, well, I haven't seen it,

so I don't know what you're talking about. So they said, well, we'll send you a print. So they send him a print. He's like, holy shit. Like, this is, it's good.

And so he immediately, I think he can't, yeah, it does contact the MOD and then the MOD contacts him and he starts to investigate. He meets with the witnesses at a hotel. They tell him of their account.

They said it was hovering, it was silent. They were terrified. They were cowering beneath the tree when it was hovering there. They was like, what are we looking at? They had a camera. And they said that a military jet came in. And at that point, they got enough courage. The military jet did a full pass.

It went in and around the entire object. And the six, I think it was like six or seven prints. It was picture to all the pictures. It's relatively the same object, same spot, same tree, all that ground, everything, with the jet in a different position. So, you know, Craig was like, well, what kind of noise did it make? And the witnesses were like, we didn't make any noise at all. It was just completely silent.

He's like, oh, I don't know. He's a Royal Air Force press officer. I don't know any planes, anything without any wings, that any visible, you know, blah, blah, blah. And then as he's in the middle of this investigation, he gets a call from the MOD and they were like, it's we'll take it from here thanks and that was the end of that well he keeps that print in a book and kind of forgets about it then he retires and it's whatever 30 33 34 years later and he finds the damn thing and he gives it that's the only reason why we have that photograph yeah thank god to Craig lindsay because they buried that story and and i interviewed nick pope and he's like they wanted

to bury it and they did and then and then At the last possible, like, minute of production with the program, the documentary I was just talking about, there was a guy, I always get his name wrong, Greaves, Richard Greaves. And he's like, he's like, he called me, he's like, you're mispronouncing my name. Is it Greaves? He's like, no, it's Greaves, Greaves. And he describes what happened. He goes, I knew those blokes.

I was, you know, he was up there and he said, they were on a cigarette break. A couple days after, they were about to go public. Black car rolls up. There are these men in black again. Heard him a thousand times. Yep.

And he said, they came up, they got out of the car. And the way he describes the guy smoking behind the wheel, it's the funniest thing. Richard Greaves should be a comedian because the way he described

this guy smoking. I was like, I've never heard anybody described the way inhaling so hard it lit up the whole cabin on the inside of the car, just really sucking the cigarette down. And then he's the driver stays in. There's a Mercedes.

Two guys get out. Cigarette breaks over. Yeah. Take the two guys. Pissing rain outside in the pissing rain talking to them. They're all the other workers that were not participating in the event itself. Didn't take the picture. It didn't witness.

They were looking through the window watching this whole thing. Pissing rains. It was raining so hard. And they were just standing in the pissing rain getting drilled by these two men in dark suits on overcoats. He said they came back in and I'll never forget this. He's like, why is a fucking ghost? Just, you know, scared the Shiza out of these two witnesses. Started drinking heavily, sleeping in their cars at night at the hotel.

And then they vanished after a couple of weeks. To this day, they've never been seen again. Oh, that story. Yeah. That is such a good case. Now, the pilot, it was a... the Harrier Jump Jet is what I was sold

that's in the picture. Most likely, they said it's pretty likely to be a Harrier Jump Jet. That pilot would have been, what is, that was 1990. So that would be like, what,

36 years ago, coming up on 36 years? So 36 years, let's say the pilot was in his mid-30s, could have been up to 40, maybe, 35, 35, 30, 35? Yeah. Well, it would be of 65 now,

maybe 70, 65 or 70. If you're out there, listening, you've got my proton email, give us a call because I can guarantee you he got a hell of a view of that thing. Oh yeah. He flew all the way around it and he probably had gun cam rolling. That's that, that's right. They buried that picture. Vanished the witnesses. Those guys wanted to come forward. They were at the local newspaper. They were getting their story out with all those prints. Really good story. And that's another men in black story. I'm like, oh my God, I'm times I'm going to hear this. It's why it's so hard to even reach out to you because it can be the last

email you ever send. Well, yeah, I, yeah, I, you know, I'm being watched. There's no question about that. For sure you are. No question. Funny, because I was at, this is really funny. I was at, the premiere for Age of Disclosure. And Leslie was, Leslie Kane, she was hanging out with a bunch of dudes in suits. Just a typical looking, you know, I think they said they're, from the agency. I'm pretty sure that's what they said. But definitely like, you know. And I was like, hey, nice to meet you. Hello. Blah, you know, we're talking. I'm like, whatever. I'll talk to anybody.

You know, people are people. I'm not hiding anything. They know what I'm up to. So I'm talking to the guy and was chatting it up. And I was like, yeah, because I did this film on this UFO crash. And in Brazil, they're all, we know exactly who you are. Sure they did. Yeah. I was like, oh, my God. He was a little creepy, but it was funny too, you know. And when I did the event of the National Press Club, just a couple days ago, whenever we go, I've been to Brazil and all over the damn place.

Not that long ago. This is the 20th of January. What are we 20, whatever? Okay. So I see three dudes and suits come in, and I knew two of them. Because, yeah, because I've been in touch with some of the people within the task force. You know, I went into a skiff with John Kaskowski and people from the Air Force Office of Special Investigating.

Let you let you into a skiff? It took me into a skiff, yes. What did you see in there? I'll talk about that in a second. Okay. These guys showed up at the event and I saw them come in and I was like, hey, and they were like, they just kind of looked at me and kept going. It's about like 15 minutes later.

Things are getting going. Everyone's settling down and getting ready to present. And I was with my sister, Kelly. And I was like, hey, Kelly, get a picture of me with these, you know. So I walked up. And then he was like, mm-mm. No, no. No photo.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no photo, dude. Not now. Like, no, but we're here. You know? And yeah, we went back and started. But the other thing was I was invited, I probably won't reveal who made the arrangements because I don't know if that's okay or not. But I was invited into a skiff, which is super weird because me, like they did a 48-hour background check and then all the security. And I was flying back to Vermont from Washington. DC and I checked out of my hotel when I had the appointment and I went, I went into,

it was not far from the Pentagon. I went into this building, met in a parking lot and walked through this building, I had to go through security. I took all my stuff. Oh my God. And I go through and then, and then there were these glass tubes. I think I left, did I leave my bags there? Probably did.

There were these glass tube things. One side opened and you stepped in it, that closed, another side opened. It was just like seen out of a movie or something. And then went down these corridors and we got to an area where he goes, all right, now you need to get rid of all your electronics. I need to put them in this locker. I said, can I use the bathroom real quick? Because I wanted to take a picture of the pass, which I did.

You did? Yeah, I took a picture of the past I got. Where can we see that? I'll show it to you. Okay. I'll share it with you. You can show it on the thing. Okay, yeah.

It says, uh, uh, it says, do not take photos. Ascourt required. Just like that. I'll show you it. Okay. I took it in the bathroom. They'll probably get to find out about that. whatever, sorry.

Last gift for you. Had to do it. I'll send it to you, for sure. So then, take all my, you know, everything I had electronic, gone.

And then just vault-looking door. Just exactly the door you'd expect, right? You know, opens it up, big thick thing. Go inside. I'm like,

fuck, I'm in a skiff. Oh, shit. And it was, it was a big room. Like, it was big. Like, cubicles and all kinds of hallways and shit. He's like,

yeah, area is a skiff. It's all part of the task force, the head of the UAP task force, John Kasklowski. So we walked down this hallway. What building are you in? Where are you? Shit, man. I'm not far from the Pentagon. Yeah. Not far from the Pentagon. I thought it was actually at the Pentagon. It was just just really, really close. And um, it'd take me down the hallway. I can't give you this guy's name. I would gladly. I can only give you something. He wouldn't appreciate it. Go down this hallway and there's an open door on my left and a closed door on my right. And he's like, I'll be right back. and he leaves me there.

I'm standing there, and I see a table, maybe about the size of this. I think it was more oval shaped, or maybe it was round. I can't remember, but I was like probably a couple girls and a couple guys, and they're all in suits

and they're talking, and I'm tuning in because I'm like, might as well. You know, the brain has an incredible capacity to like filter out anything else and just really hone in on. No, I could see you sidling over.

Yeah, so I'm listening to the conversation. Like, I'll give you an example. Like, if you ever take a, like a tape recorder to a restaurant dinner, it's not recording what you heard. It's recording all, because it doesn't filter it out, right? But I was able, you know, we can do that. We can filter out surround noise and really focus on what we want to hear. I'm like, tuning into these guys.

I'm like, oh, what are they on about? And then one of them abruptly gets up, comes over the door and closes in the face, you know, and I was like, shit. So then one guy who met me, uh, outside suit. He comes, opens up the door, and then John Kloskowski comes in.

And they wanted to show me this footage that they were going to possibly release. I said, don't release that. That's ridiculous. It's not going to gain you any credibility. You guys cannot do that. And then we talked about, I talked about, you know, Rua.

I talked about Varginia. I talked about Sikoro. I was just like, you know, and this and this. And you guys know that, you know, ultimately what we're dealing with is a certain percentage of these things as non-human intelligence. And what's the plan to tell the public? You know, we're not going anywhere.

This story's not going away. What's the plan? And John Klauski, the head of arrow right now, goes, James, I can't part my hair without approval from the DOD. And you can quote me on that. So basically what he was saying is his hands are tied. and it doesn't matter what he what he ultimately finds or uncovers or learns, right? I'm convinced that, you know, they clearly found the legacy, God, I could tell you

another story too, the legacy UAP crash retrieval program. Now you've got to tell the other story. Yeah, well, I just, you know. Well, what is the plan do you think before you get into that? I think there are some people that want it out and some people that don't want it out. And the people that are in possession of the goods don't want it out for the most part.

But I really think it's important that, you know, the people in the UFO community, I mean, we don't need the government against us. Everybody's bickering among each other, which is absurd. We should focus on a common goal. But I'm really like pivoting to the point where, like I want to say to people,

look, you don't have to believe Grosch or Lou or Chris or whoever. how about, you know, we call their bluff and we create, we help create, we help support Congress, Congress really needs to hear from you. Like they've made that abundantly clear. We need to know that our constituents and other people that we have your support in putting our necks out. But to figure out a way how we can get immunity to the witnesses that want to come forward and how we can provide additional witness whistleblower protections, that's very, very important. because there are threats people feel,

even if it's just their security clearance, they lose that, they have no job, right? So the threats have taken away their security clearance. Some people are concerned about their personal safety. There's those issues. And they lose their job. It's like, you know, they lose, they can't support, they can't feed their family, you know.

So it's like, now they're talking about a fund that we could put in place. So if they do lose everything, everything, they get financial compensation because, and people are like, oh, well, that's not really fair. They're getting taxpayer dollars. It's like, well, if what they're saying is true, that's the biggest story ever, everybody should have a right. I don't think, you know, that people would have that big of a problem with getting some compensation to some of these potentially the most significant witnesses in the history of mankind. So anyway, these are all initiatives and

things that I feel strongly that we should, we should support. And put pressure on. Whether you believe it or not, like, you might say, like, wow, what's this guy have to gain by coming forward? What does David Grush have to gain? Quite honestly, I don't really see anything. He had to retire early. You didn't get any of his pension. Yeah. You know, like, you know, you got all these threats.

And, I mean, I don't know. I mean, call his bluff. Yeah, I think the Pentagon walked back a lot of even what he said. Oh, of course they did. That's what they do. I don't, do you feel like it's a, is a slow, are they preparing us for an actual disclosure? Is this a limited hangout? Or is it like, well, we'll give them a little here.

We'll give them a little. I think it has to come from We the People. We have to start really continuing the pressure. It's one of the reasons why, you know, like, I had to move mountains and walk on water. I told you earlier to do that event at the National Press Club. And I'd love to see the government do something like that. They're doing exactly the opposite. But it was really hard.

Like we hired a PR firm. We had a former White House press secretary, assistant press secretary, all sending out the press conference, all the various news outlets. And, you know, we had really good attendance. We had a handful, very small hand. Well, we had a lot of cameras. There were influencers there, but only a handful of news outlets.

I mean, we did the best we could. Like I said at the time, I was like, it was a very solid base hit. But, you know, we had a story that was going to go out in a very big news organization. It would have been really historic. And that got squashed at the last. second to the point where we couldn't pivot to somebody else and there's about closed to our hearings. But there is a, again, I'll remind your audience. There's a great story out in the debrief by Lizzie Kane and Ralph Blumenthal. Go check it out. It's free. It's online.

Got photographs, details of the meetings. Yeah, it's good. Yeah. Well, I think you're doing the right thing by doing the podcast circuit because these shows, we have a larger audience than the major news outlets. It's amazing. You're speaking directly to people now. You know, it's like, I started thinking about it. And I was like, we don't even really need the mainstream media anymore. We're just going straight to the people. James, this is the mainstream media. I know, it's crazy, right?

Yeah. It's nuts. I was hanging out with this guy the other day. And he's like, yeah, man, I got 10 million followers. I was like, you have 10 million followers? I know. Eat your heart out. Yeah, unbelievable.

And then then I was, you know, podcast coverage that's happening right now in Brazil, right now in Brazil, 22. and 8 million followers. Another one, 30 million followers. Like, that's a significant amount of people that you have outreach to. You know, look at Rogan. Yep. You know, you guys.

Yep. It's extremely impressive. And we're doing it organically. We're doing it grassroots. We're doing it. We the people, you know. That's why I was telling you earlier, I really appreciate, you know, I appreciate the support. And I'm not asking anyone to categorically believe this happened.

But, but hey, how about support for? additional investigation, how about, wow, there's a lot of really compelling eyewitness testimony. Let's dig a little further. There is, you're a very important person. I have two things I want to get to before we let you go, but you got it. When you were talking about the skiff, you said, oh, I can tell you another story. Do you remember what that was? Yeah.

It was such a tease. So, how can I tell you without revealing this person's identity? Their position, what their role? No, if I do that, that'll, that'll give a dead giveaway. Then just tell the story. Okay. Well, so when I investigated Secorra, New Mexico case, I was, you know, I really, I do a deep dive. Like I, you know, you look at someone like Richard Dullen or Stanton Friedman or, you know,

some of these really serious, you know, researchers and authors of very detailed books. And their historical perspective was like a walk in his life. encyclopedia and these guys are incredible. I am extremely familiar with a handful of cases that I personally have investigated boots on the ground in Africa or China or wherever the hell I am, South America. And I stick my teeth into a case minimum five years, sometimes 10, sometimes 20, whatever. And I was investigating the Sequoro case and I got to know his wife, Mary, his daughter, Diane, his son Michael, his co-workers.

It's all over a five-year period. And every time I came to Socorro and particularly to Mary Zamora's house, I'd see this beautiful white Ford pickup truck parked out in front. Flat tires, hood popped a jar, whole cabin filled with garbage bullet hole through the cab. Back, they had a beautiful truck, though. It was a stepside. 172, I think 72,

wooden bed, it was kind of rotted out, but nice. I mean, the body was in pretty good shape. It didn't have any really rust because it was in a dry desert environment. I kept looking at that truck.

I'm like, damn, that thing is gorgeous. Needs work, but wow. Long story short, I bought the truck off Mary. Okay. And I've been slowly fixing it up and it runs great.

After five years, I had the engine rebuild, but it's the same engine, 360, big block. 72 what? Four Shatmy. Okay. North F 100.

And I got all the wood for the bed. And I was under that thing for like weeks with the sawzaw because I was working on it, you know, as much time as I had during the production of the phenomenon. And I was under the truck with the sawzaw, cutting all the little nuts off. They were all frozen and it was raining down. Like I should have had goggles on. And I put new wood in the bed with a buddy of mine, Mike Aiken. And it was for fun. funny because I ordered the kit and then I put it all.

It was a huge undertaking. My God, that was difficult. We had to paint it with like marine-based, you know, lacquer, whatever. Anyway, and the metal strips in between the wood started rusting out within a week or two. And so I was like, what the hell, man? I just told all this is like, I mean, okay, it's a truck and it's outside, but I just did this. Like, come on. So I contacted the company and they're like, wow, you know, you didn't ask for the stainless.

I was like, well, you guys didn't even give me an option. Like, I don't know I suppose to know. So anyway, so I'm slowly fixing the truck up. I had the original seat re-apulstered. The guy was like, this was really challenging. I had to rebuild all the springs and I got a new dashboard because you could poke your finger to the dashboard from the hot sun. Seriously, you just poke your finger right through.

I did the headliner and the floor carpeting myself and I did a terrible job and didn't get that done. But for overall, I had the engine rebuilt. It's a beautiful truck. So I had an individual come that's investigated UFOs in an official capacity. for the United States government from 2017 to 2020, whatever the hell. And we took my truck out to dinner because, I don't know, for some reason, I didn't have the other car or my partner, Rebecca, I might have taken it.

I was like, hey, I just got this truck. He was like, oh, I love old trucks, you know, and this is great. It was really cool because just like, this is a Lonnie Zmoris truck. You know, we're driving this old 72 truck out of these country roads. And we go out to a lovely dinner. We have some drinks. and afterwards, you know, you kind of loosen up a little bit. We go back to drop this individual off at his hotel

and get to the hotel. And it's dark. I don't have a cabin light. I don't have, it does work, but the doors are closed. It's dark. We parked over to the hotel and the door guy, the valet, the door guy comes out. He's like, hey, can I get you? I said, I don't know, just dropping him off.

and he left. The engine's off. Lights are out. It's pretty dark. A little bit of light coming from the hotel, but we were pretty far away. So it was almost like just silhouetted a little bit inside the cabin. It was dark.

We had a whispered conversation. And it was like that moment when maybe you're on a date and you drop, you know, you drop the girl off. with the guy, whatever, and there's an awkward moment where you're not sure, like, you know, where we should come, do I go, you know, you're inviting me in or whatever. Worst moment ever. You know what I mean? Like that awkward little moment, you know, but it was kind of like that awkward moment.

It's like, all right, well, are you getting out or do I, you know, are you, you know, and just silhouettes, it was like a scene out of a movie. I'll never forget it so long as I live, just silhouettes in the truck, dark. And it was like, we found a legacy program. And it was like, you know, and then some more details. And I just sat there quietly. Can't tell us the details? No, I can't.

I just can't. Why do we call that legacy program? Did that end? Legacy program, I guess, because it's been going on for such a long period of time, I guess. But is that the still ongoing program? I guess it would be. I'm assuming, yeah, definitely. Uh-huh, yeah.

Yeah, I mean, and Senator Rubio talks about, I mean, you know, you read between the lines. I mean, the latest cut of moment of contact, we have Senator Rubio on News Nation saying that, you know, extremely credible people, first-hand, you know, claim to be firsthand working on the stuff and the legacy program, we're like, I mean, very, like, wow, you know what I mean? It's happening.

It's amazing how many people are not paying attention, you know, all the congressional hearings. How many people don't even know that we've had four congressional hearings? No, very few. It's just so, it's so incredible to me, you know, that more people aren't like, I know that life's tough and, you know, we're working or paying bill,

you know, I get all that. But this, I can't believe more news outlets aren't focusing on this. Like, you got, you know, president, you know,

sexual, excuse me, peccadillos, like, you know, they put so many resources into it, like, you know,

whether it's Trump or Clinton or whatever, like they're just fixated and like millions of dollars. Like, you know what I mean? I think it's intentional. And you got like, what could be the biggest story in history

and no, and they're not doing anything. I think they want us fighting about politics because that way we don't see what's going over here. 60 minutes. Finally does a little thing on UFOs. I'm told it was the most popular thing they've ever done. I'm pretty sure.

If it's not number one, it was number two. Most popular thing they've ever done, okay? New York Times, 2017, one of the most popular stories they've ever gone to print. Yep. Do you not recognize that in New York Times and CBS?

Hello? Like, what are you guys doing? Do some digging. Is it take people like me to do your guys' work? Like, really? Could you imagine if we had the full force of, like, you know, media to take this seriously and really stick their teeth into it and all the financial, like, come on, man. I used to be not convinced about the connection between mainstream and, like, DoD intelligence,

the influence there. But now I'm like, that's all wrapped up. It's got to be connected. Of course. It just kind of has to be. I mean, I don't want to, you know, it just, it feels that way. Yeah, it has to come from out of here. It feels that way.

And it might be just as simple as like, hey, you know all those connections and stories that we're feeding you? Yeah, you just go ahead and leave this to the side. Otherwise, we're done. You know, and someone needs to grow up here and just start and do it. Just do it. The support would be incredible. Yep. But they'd have to do it really publicly because these people do disappear.

Well, they would be doing. Well, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I know. That's kind of, that's kind of freaky too. Tell me about, about Gary McKinnon, his story, what you think about him.

I love that guy. He's amazing. He was great. I finally got to meet him. And he's in the program as well. Did you see the program? I did. You could also watch that for free on YouTube movies.

Stop saying for free. Go. Well, no. No, I'm just saying because it's a great platform. They've got 300 million whatever followers, and it's a great platform. Your work needs to be. support. Anyway, so somebody got in touch. Somebody I knew knew him. I wish I could remember

that person was. Well, give this a quick recap on what Gary did with NASA. Yeah, but one second, because it catapulted in the mainstream in the late 90s, early 2000, it was. Oh my God, it was everywhere. He was in the news, the presidents were talking about him. All the prime minister. was talking about him. And always, but he was way too in and date at the time. They were making songs about him. He's working with all these famous art news, musicians. It was incredible. Free Gary McKinnon. So somebody reached out to him. He hears my name and he gets right in touch with me. And he's like, oh my God, my hero. I'm like, dude, me? You? Like, you know,

right, we were both super stoked, you know. So Gary McKinnon, based on probably the one of the claims from a NASA, a sort of a NASA employee I don't remember the woman's name, but she had testified at 2001 press conference that Dr. Stephen Greer had done and she basically

gave a specific location where photographs are manipulated from NASA that show UFOs. Excuse me. So he was like, you know, I'm going to go find out. So he started hacking. Now hold on, he didn't, he just found computers that with accident he didn't like illegally i'm trying to i'm trying to help

gary out i'm trying to help gary out he'll admit this now okay yeah it's water under the bridge is he in the clear he's in the clear now because obama wanted his neck i know they couldn't have they could not have um okay well okay let me get into the story real quick and i'll just go into it's one of the biggest computer hacks allegedly in history and he said that i think it went on for a while i don't know if it was a year or two years i can't remember It was a while. And he goes, you know, I was going through, I would go. And he talks about it like, it's like, oh, yeah, it's like, you know, walking the park.

He was like, of course. You just, you know, blah, blah, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, somebody like me. I don't know what that. You're talking gibberish. I don't know what you, but you go through these servers in the states from different, you know, maybe a library or maybe whatever. Right. And he would, so that would be the signals and that would end there. So, and then he'd go from there and he'd go into like NASA, NSA, CIA, whatever.

and he goes he started getting lazy and just going around and going straight and he got into something it's Johnson Space Center I think it was kind of where the woman said that these things these things would be and he was on dial-up and he hit pay dirt and he said there was this cylindrical interestingly enough cigar shapecraft yeah cylindrical shape craft in like outer space. And he goes, it could have been the earth. I think it was the earth.

But I couldn't say for sure. It was clouds, blah, blah, blah. But it was coming down, coming down. And he was just sitting there with bated breath going, oh, my God, this is like, oh, this is my ure. We called it his eureka moment. And he goes, oh, my gosh. And it's just like this cylindrical shape thing.

He goes, it clearly had no, he's like, it was other world, you know. And then I think it was going down. going down, going down, going down, going down. And then the cursor moved. Yes. And the screen went blank. And it was my eureka moment and also my shit.

What have I just done? Like, I don't know how long it was that he woke up to men in suits over his bed in London. Over his bed? Over his bed. I didn't know that. Wow. Yeah. And then it was like.

And he took him into custody, didn't that? Oh, yeah. Are you kidding me? They wanted to extradite him and lock him up for 70 years. Yeah. 60 or 70 years. Now, I think, and this is speculation, and Gary might agree with this. I don't know.

I think that ultimately, because the British and the Americans go along generally together, I think that ultimately the Americans, they wanted to extradite him publicly. But had that happened. he would have had due process. It would have been a big spectacle. And there would have been a revelation of everything that he saw. He has to tell him. He has to tell his side.

So this is just again, this is me speculating here. Sure, sure. That, you know, the may the Americans said to the British, hey, look, we're going to push for his extradition. You're going to deny it because we don't want a big public hearing because that's what it'll be. He was everywhere in the news. Anybody just Google Gary McKinnon. Oh, yeah. Yeah, so they ultimately denied him.

But he said he was ready to take his own life. He did. Yes, he did. He's like, I'm not going to go rot in a prison for the next 65 years. He was already, I think he had, he had the, he knew how he was going to do it. He's like, yeah, I was going to take my own life. I'm not going to go sit in prison for 60 years. Hell no.

Did he talk to you about the list that he found, about the off space fleet? Yeah, he talked about they were non-terrestrial officers. Yes. And it's funny actually because. And again, speculation here. I started thinking about the alleged encounter at Nellis test range in the night in 1994 of this non-terrestrial officer. He's in officer gear. He's got, he's clearly not of this planet.

So called. It did make me think of him. It did make me think of him. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Because I don't know. I was like, is that what they're really? referring to, non-terrestrial officers? Or are they talking about astronauts? Well, they had names.

Yeah, I don't think you remembered those names, but yeah, yeah, I don't know, yeah, I don't know if he remembered all that. But anyway, it's a fascinating, fascinating case, fascinating case. And it goes along with, like, all the people that have been talking about this cadre of high resolution, you know, some case, 4K, super clear. photos of UFOs of craft that are just, God knows, we have sensors everywhere, right? All these drones with high-res cameras and everything like that.

It's like, yeah, of course they would be. We got, yeah, sure, we got phones and cell phones. And pickers show up all the time on the internet. But how do you know what's real and what's fake and who's got the time to go through it all? Do you know what I mean? Yep. But the military, they've got the sensors,

they've got the cameras. I mean, if anyone's going to have that kind of data, it would be the military. And everyone says they have it, and Gary McKinnon found some of it. He sure did. He got to see it. What was your, I guess it's now infamous interaction with Buzz Aldrin? Oh, God.

Excuse me, Jesus. You don't have to fold your arms. You can relax. This is a place for sharing. I give you the short version. He didn't punch you in the mouth. I know, right? Put your hand in the bubble.

Okay, so I worked on a movie set called The Legend of Obie Taggart. And it would have been probably mid-90s, maybe I guess. Yeah, I was working on my first UFO doc. I don't think I was working on, yeah. And Mickey Rooney, his wife, Jan Rooney. And there was another actor, is it Ned Beatty that got, that was in, now you're going to do some praying, boy, and you better pray good. You remember that one?

Was that deliverance? Yes, sir. Okay, he was there. And I just seen deliverance like a year or two earlier. So I couldn't help but think about it. I was like, dude, I just saw you. You didn't squeal like a pig now. Oh, God.

God, that scene was like, oh my Lord, no. Please don't Google that. I remember the first. I had no idea what it was one of the, I watched it in England in the 90s. Oh. And they were like, we're going to watch deliverance. I was like, deliverance. I remember that?

I was like. And it got to that scene, I was like, oh, Jesus, no, God, please. Anyway. So I was an extra on this movie. I was a prison guard for Jant. And one of the root, what, Rooney. And as usual, they're like, oh, so, you know, what else are you up to? And I was like, oh, I'm doing a UFO documentary.

And they were like, oh, I was kind of expecting the typical, you know, laughter and ready kill, whatever. He's like, oh, you know, my wife and I are really good friends with Buzz Aldrin. And, yeah, he told us some pretty crazy stuff. Like, you've seen some stuff. I was like, really? Oh, yeah, you know what? We'll get you in touch with them. So that happened.

And then a friend of mine in Kentfield, California, was, he was bartending an event. It was an art sale. It's an art deal of sale, whatever. and there was a woman named Fay Ann Potter there and she was Buzz Aldrin's sister. So between her and I met her at a place called the West Bank, the left bank, sorry, la rive gauche.

And then Jan Rooney's dad was a general in the, I think it was the Air Force and he talked about Roswell a little bit to her. But in any case, between those two, they set up an interview with me with Buzz Aldrin. and he ultimately agrees to give me an interview about his UFO signing. And he goes, but I'm going to be on book tour.

I'm going to be in the south of France. So I borrowed some money, got a little crew. He was like, this is where I'll be. Come down and I'll meet with you. So I arrived there in Monte Carlo. And Monte Carlo is probably the most expensive place on Earth. And I had a small budget, and I was chewing up that money every day. And I kept, you know, getting in touch with them.

It was like, you know, traveled all this way, blah, blah, blah. Oh, yeah, you know, tomorrow, tomorrow. So I finally got to like, I don't know, whatever. Fourth day. And I said, Mr. Aldrin, I can't be too much. She goes, you know, I said, Mr. Alder, with all due respect, I, you know, I traveled all this way. You did agree to an interview.

And, you know, I can't stay here forever. this place is really expensive. I traveled all the way down here. He goes, okay, okay, okay, okay. Meet me in my hotel lobby tomorrow morning, whatever, nine o'clock, whatever time it was. No cameras rolling.

I said, no, no, no, no, no, we won't have any cameras rolling. So the next morning we got there a little early, and we're having like a croissant, this really fancy hotel. And I was like a $10 cup of coffee back then. And the concierge comes up to me. He says, Mr. Fox,

I say, yeah, you have a telephone call? over there and it's buzzing. He's like, I can't do it. He goes, Paul Allen has just invested in SETI, search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Very conservative. Those guys are looking for shit all over across that, you know.

And he goes, I can't jeopardize. I'm trying to develop a rocket to get citizens in a space, yada, yada, I'm working with Congress. I can't do it. And how is my story going to change anything anyway? Oh, come on. And I said, well, with all due respects, it takes people of your stature to come forward

and help elevate this topic. Andrew Mitchell did it? Yeah, but Andrew Mitchell was at her first-hand witness. But he met with first-hand witnesses and he knew about Roswell. But there's another reason why I believe Roswell. But, you know, he didn't deny any, like, you know, he didn't say, hey, I had a sight in the way of the moon.

The sister told me that he had a chase the disc, I think it was in the 50s. Yeah, probably late 50s. Chase the Dick's rattled. Apparently, sister said he was rattled. He chased the thing up to his high as his plane would go. Couldn't catch it. And then they saw something a little less, a little more ambiguous or something that was something that followed them to the moon, something like that.

But I never got a story. And then I went on Larry King with him in like 2007, maybe, 2006, 2007. And it was like, I don't know, eight years later, something like that. Couldn't tell you exactly, but I had to look at my records. And I went on with Fife Simington, the former governor, very, very. Arizona and to my unbelievable shock, I went into the green room and there he was getting his makeup put on. I was like, holy shit. I'm about to go live with Buzz Aldrin and the former governor. So I take a picture of him. Probably did it with my phone. Yeah, 2007. Yeah, sure, I did it with my phone.

I have the picture. I got it somewhere on my computer. And she's like, sir, you're not supposed to take pictures in the green room. I was like, oh, I'm sorry. Kept it. Yeah. And he's like, looks at me. He's like, you know, he's kind of like, and then he goes on. And I was like, I'm going to, I'm going to really get this guy because I was still pissed about what happened. And Fife was like, you know, this guy's, you know, he's very respected and land on the moon with Neil Armstrong, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I'd really be careful.

Yeah, I know, allegedly. I know. There's that whole debate. My really good friend, one of my best friends, and he's my neighbor, and we're so tight. And he's like, we didn't go to the moon. always have these debates and we loved each other. We didn't care. He was like, yeah, cool, you know.

But he just sat there and lied. He just sat there and lied. Just sat there and lied. And I just sat there and just watched him lie. You couldn't say. It poked a little bit. There was a guy Darcy Weir who did a film that covered it. He found it, amazingly enough,

he found the clips of me on the show. Yeah, I know, Darcy. Interviewed me about it, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But yeah, that's my story. Oh, what a shame. I know. Can you imagine that was in the 90s? Yep.

Any other astronauts? Edgar Mitchell. Any first-hand witnesses? Yeah, there was that Mercury astronaut guy that took a picture of a UFO that was pretty incredible. Shit. I'm trying to remember his name. Sorry, I'm exhausted.

I've just barely been getting sleep lately. I mean, I always been, I had the National Press Club event, and I flew to Brazil, and I was sick in Brazil, and I was all that something. Then I flew back here like boom, boom, boom. So I'm sorry if I seem a little tired. No, no, you're good. But, yeah, there is a guy. It was in the 60s. It was part of the Mercury program.

And he took a pretty damn good picture of a UFO. And I think it might have been some filmed footage too. Dash Garnet. That's okay. We'll find him. Yeah, you always have to find it. It was Mercury Mission. And I know his name, but I'm at a loss right now.

Anyway. Well, then the last thing, we'll let you go. Yes, sir. Are there any UFO photos, stories or anything that's out there that people tend to believe that you don't, that you say, that's not it? Yes. Billy, he's in Switzerland. And I'm always told Billy Myers.

Yes. And, you know, some people can criticize me. It's fair to have a, you know, look, we can have opinions and we can agree to disagree. That's all I'm asking. I'm not going to be disrespectful. to anybody. Everyone can make up their own mind. My personal opinion, based on what I've seen, I haven't met the guy, so I have to add

that to the story. But my personal opinion is that he has definitely presented some fake photographs. Now, some people say, well, yeah, because some of the earlier stuff was legit, but then they dried up. And so he wanted to keep getting attention, so he fakes some stuff. And I was like, well, if you faked one, you fake two, it's kind of tough for me to go, well, was he telling the truth? Yeah, I don't know.

But I'm also told that there's a certain force field because a lot of people go, why is it always blurry? It's a little fuzzy. There's a field around that that kind of affects the environment. Sure. Gravity field or something. I'm not a physicist, I don't tell you. But in Age of Disclosure, Hal put off talks about the nature of propulsion

and how the bends, warps, folds the space around it. and it causes it to be a little blurry. And I was told that a long time ago that if there's a crystal clear, like defined edge around the craft, generally that's considered to be fake. Yep. Excuse me.

Because they're warping space time. It's always a little fuzzy. Because you see a lot of discs where the surface is almost moving. Yeah. Those, I tend to believe. You'll see that too. But no, but even like, you know, 1950 McMinville, Oregon, the Trent's.

You look at that photograph and, Boy, that's pretty damn good. But people that have some of the original prints and zoomed in on it, you can see it's blurred around the edge. So it's pretty authentic. And yeah, two witnesses, broad daylight, multiple angles, points of reference, very good photograph. Is there anything that we didn't cover today about Virginia or any of your other work

you want to get out there? If you support my work, please go watch moment of contact. New revelations of alien encounters. I worked so hard to get that out there in timely fashion. included a very quick snapshot of some of the relevant aspects that's been happening in transparency, pushing for transparency in the U.S. government. The first 20 minutes is all new.

And then some of the most compelling firsthand eyewitness testimony in the history of phenomenon, if you believe it, I tend to, I believe, Dr. Itula, because I can't find a motive. He's not selling a doc. He's not selling a book. He's not asking for money for his story. He's still the lead neurosurgeon at the hospital.

still to this day. And I'm sitting there going, I've met his wife, I've met his kids, I've met his coworkers. I went, had a whole tour at the hospital, all the people he's been working with.

So he'd have to be lying to everybody. There's no way he was too, he was so affected by it. See why he would do that. And he goes, I'll take a public light detector test tomorrow with my hand on a Bible. Like,

what does this guy have to win by, why would he do that in his twilight years? I just, you know, look him in the eyes, man. the tears holding on to me. He's like, I'm telling the truth, man. I'm coming forward because younger generations need to know this is real. Moment of contact.

Definitely want to watch that. I bought it on Apple TV. I'm assuming it's everywhere. It's on Amazon, Apple, Google, Fandango. Yeah. I think I gave your crew a link that hopefully will be in the video. We'll put all of it online. It's a genius link and you just click on it.

It'll take you to various platforms. I appreciate you having me on. I really do. Sure. We've got your proton email anywhere else that we can find you? Oh, yes. idea. Thank you. Find me on X, formerly known as Twitter. It's James. It's at James C. as in Charlie Fox. At James C. Fox. And you can, I post all, everything relevant that I do there.

I do have an Instagram account, but I got a couple 20 year olds running out. So I don't take it as often as I show of all. How do I do this? I'm in the same boat. James, thanks so much for coming. And this has been a joy. Thanks for having me on. I really appreciate it. All right. Bye, everybody. his investigation into Virginia. Now, here's what we can verify. The incident that happened in January 1996, multiple witnesses, civilian and military, reported seeing both a craft in distress

and strange creatures in and around the town. A military police officer named Marco Cherez died about three weeks after allegedly capturing one of the beings. His official cause of death was listed as sepsis and pneumonia in what doctors called a benign bacteria, though they never identified its source. and that's documented in the autopsy.

The big claim here is Dr. Ida Venterrelli's testimony. He's a practicing neurosurgeon at Regional Hospital in Varshemia, 45 years of medicine, still performing brain surgery. He says he had three to four minutes of face-to-face contact with a live, non-human entity in the ICU on January 20th, 1996. He's not selling a book. He's not asking for money. His colleagues, other doctors who've known him for decades, all went on camera and vouched to him.

Now, what I keep coming back to is what James said about motive. If Dr. It's lying, he's lying to his wife, his children, his colleagues, his entire community. Why would he do that? There's no upside. And he's offered to take a public lie detector test with his hand on a Bible, something he doesn't take lightly. This is either the most significant testimony in the history of UFO research, or it's an elaborate hoax with no motive. But I think it deserves serious investigation either way. You can watch James' documentary Moment of Contact New Revelations. It just dropped.

And his National Press Club event from January 2026 is on YouTube for free. And if you have any information about the Varsini case, James has set up a secure proton mail for tips. Until next time, be safe. Be kind. And know that you are appreciated. Yes, an area 51. A secret code inside the Bible said I was. I love my UFOs and paranormal fun as well as music.

So I'm singing the like I should. And it never ends. No, it never ends. I got stuck inside males' hole with M.K. Altru. Being only two of a way. Would the shadow people there to have got the Pacific City under. Stations, planets are boating. And where the dark watchers found.
