WEAPONIZED with Jeremy Corbell & George Knapp - Injured by UFOs - The Case-By-Case Medical Evidence

Episode Date: September 2, 2025

Are close encounters with UFO/UAP technology dangerous for humans? The answer appears to be yes. A recently released study which reviewed decades of cases and research is raising important questions a...bout how science and medicine have largely ignored the stories told by victims whose injuries occurred because they were in the proximity of advanced but unknown technology, and in at least one incident, the injuries appear to have been inflicted intentionally. In this episode of Weaponized, Jeremy and George are joined by UK physicist John Priestland, founder of the Unhidden Foundation, created to understand the nature of injuries caused by close encounter incidents, including often-serious physical, physiological, and psychological consequences. Priestland shares details about where and when such injuries occurred and why medical professionals are largely not interested in the cause of injuries to their patients. The paper his organization released days ago builds on research conducted by the DIA during its AAWSAP investigation and Priestland urges the US government to release the AAWSAP files so that science and medicine can understand the source of a wide array of health effects during close encounter incidents.

These injuries, both physical, psychological, physiological that are measurable, documented by medical professionals, they're not caused by clouds or weather balloons or swamp gas or planets or any other.
Starting point is 00:01:00 bullshit explanations that we get for UAP, they're caused by physical effects generated by some kind of a crap. The health of populations at scale, and particularly how we can build more resilience around possible disclosure, where arguably millions, if not, hundreds of millions of people may be affected, and we'll need to prepare for that, perhaps like a pandemic. One of them I was curious about it, I was reading in your report was the cash landrum case, really powerful case where we have what appears to be radiation poisoning. I was given a videotape by John Lear back in the day that I've never found online and it's a seems like just after the incident.
Starting point is 00:01:42 I can say it wasn't completely by me. You know my name? Yeah, it was perfect point. That's the way he to describe it. It was a tonic notion. This is weaponized. Hope everyone had a pleasant and relaxing Labor Day holiday here in the U.S. I am George Knapp, a journalist in Las Vegas, joined by my friend and colleague, Jeremy Corbell, beaming to us from parts unknown. Jeremy, how's it going? Pretty good, man, Labor Day, just relaxing.
Starting point is 00:02:20 You know, it's here in the desert. It almost felt like autumn today. I mean, that is from about 7 a.m. until 9-ish, and then the heat kicked in, and we're back to normal. You can hear the air conditioning making noise in the background. How about you? Yeah, man. It's scorching, man.
Starting point is 00:02:35 It's scorching, man. It's scorched earth right now. but that's okay. Today we have the pleasure of helping to spread the word about a new, highly credible, hugely important paper put together by an organization named Unhidden, but based on decades of very solid work by people we know, data collected by names we know, addressing the question, are UFOs bad for human health? And if that question sounds familiar, it might be because it's one that we have raised on this program, Jeremy, many times before. And in a other venues and platforms in the past based largely on the excellent work that was done by
Starting point is 00:03:11 ASAP, the Advanced Aerospace Weapons Systems Application Program, which was hosted by the DEA. It's the largest acknowledged UAP-related investigation ever funded by the U.S. government. They may have bigger ones, but they haven't admitted to those. OSAP is the biggest that we know of, and most of that work was done for the DIA. A lot of it was done by an organization called Bass, a company based here in Las Vegas. have talked to two of the principal program managers, Dr. Jim Likatsky, Dr. Column-Kalher in the past, and they've shared some of that information with us. But most of the work that was done by OSAP for the DIA has never seen light a day. It's still bottled up somewhere. There have been
Starting point is 00:03:52 leaks or two here and there. And Jeremy, you and I both helped release some of these dirds, these defense intelligence reference documents that were meant to be distributed, at least within the J. Wix and intelligence community. But the public had never seen them until we we made a public. But one of the focuses of that study, the OSAP program, was health effects of UAP, UFOs on humans, correct? Yeah. And, you know, it's really interesting when the DIA report was finally put out to the public and everybody's looking at it and they're seeing that close proximity to UAP causes all of these electromagnetic effects, radiation effects. I think it really hit home. People were most interested in that.
Starting point is 00:04:33 What is that that causes all of those injuries that have been well documented? and being that it was a DIA document and then released to the public, it really captured the imagination of the public. Also, this new report that was done, it also touches on the 2021 ODNI report confirming UAP's physical object posing aviation risk. So what was cool was that this new report really pulled from all the literature and information that was out there and historical context and brought it into focus about, you know, these kind of negative health effects caused by close proximity to U.S. And if we can't get people's attention on UAP because of stigma, certainly we can get their attention on the documented negative biological effects of close proximity to UAP. So I thought this was really foundational. I thought it was really good that an outside group went and did this.
Starting point is 00:05:24 Yeah. And obviously these injuries, both physical, psychological, physiological, that are measurable documented by medical professionals, they're not caused by clouds or whether balloons or swamp gas or planets or any other bullshit explanations that we get for UAP, they're caused by physical effects generated by some kind of a craft. And the guy who put this all together that founded this organization, his name John Priestland, he's our guest today. He's a physicist and management consultant, began his career as a civil servant working for
Starting point is 00:06:02 a UK cabinet office before moving into senior roles in engineering consultancy. He's a fellow of both the Institute of Physics and the Institution of Civil Engineers. In 2023, he created the Unhidden Foundation to promote better care for people affected by UAP with a particular focus on mental and physical health. And John Priestland joins us now. Hey, John. Thanks for having me on. It's great to be here.
Starting point is 00:06:26 Jeremy, you want to start it off? Yeah, look, I was just fascinated in little circles. This paper got out a few days earlier, at least a couple days early, and I received it, and I was reading through it, and I could see. a lot of primary sourcing coming from the DIA document that was released, but also just the way you thought about it was very unique. And you brought in a few other things that were not kind of co-related into this topic. So I just wanted to know kind of first off is, you know, why did you start this process, this organization, and how did you come about? Is this the first thing you've put out
Starting point is 00:06:57 as an organization? So we, our focus last year was on mental health and well-being. So we put out a report entitled The Impact of Exceptional Experiences on Mental Health and Well-Being, focusing on the stigma, focusing on the fact that people are frightened to go to their doctors and tell them what they've seen, which I think is a terrible thing. And this year, we focused on the second pillar of the health triple, if you like, for UAPs, which is physical health. And that came out last Monday. And the third. The third pillar will be public health, that is the health of populations at scale, and particularly how we can build more resilience around possible disclosure, where arguably millions, if not
Starting point is 00:07:49 hundreds of millions of people may be affected, and we'll need to prepare for that, perhaps like a pandemic, and certainly to be prepared is a good thing, and that's where public health comes in. So mental health, physical health, and public health. the organisation Unhidden is trying to bring a robust medical and clinical approach to the UAP topic. So we have a medical advisory board made up of some really very eminent practicing clinical medical professionals. We have a neurophysiologist and a psychiatrist, a pathologist. We have two general practitioners, which is the everyday medicine in the UK.
Starting point is 00:08:27 So somebody reporting having seen a UAP incident would typically go to their GP. And we have two clinical psychologists, including the head of a major European psychology department at a university. And so they've taken the editorial decisions on our health effects report. I put the information together along with a number of other people, very well connected. And our methodology has been developed in conjunction with somebody you know well, Dr Tim Lomas. Tim is wonderful in the way he weaves his different breadcrumbs together into papers like Crypto Terrestrials and he helped us create a particular methodology for what this is.
Starting point is 00:09:10 This is a literature review. It's not primary research. He calls it curated emergence, which is a lovely phrase. And effectively it means, unlike a traditional literature review where you give much, much more weight to peer-reviewed academic sources, In this case, you cast the net wider because of the nature of the topic. And that's very clear in the methodology. It also shows the challenges and weakness of the report. And we argue that we need more research, more research from civilians,
Starting point is 00:09:39 but also potentially more research from the military and intelligence side of the wire. Doctors on the other side of that brought into the civilian community, which you touched on in your introduction, George, with both the Orsap paper, anomalous acute and subacute field effects on human and biological tissue, which is the main source of the information for our report, but also the suggestion very much echoed in your book, Skin Walkers at the Pentagon, that there's more that Orsat did and more that could potentially come out to help civilian doctors. That program ended 14 years ago.
Starting point is 00:10:17 The dirt that you reference and reference in the study has been made public, and we'll talk about that more. but the other stuff that was done, the other studies, the other individual cases, has not been seen. It must be frustrating in the sense that we know these things are real. They're not imaginary things in the sky, clouds and such. These injuries are real. That was sort of the brilliance and the courageousness of that study, is that it followed the evidence wherever it led, no matter how silly it may be dismissed by the critics. You were not worried about pursuing these subjects because the injuries are so real, correct? Well, that's right. And when one looks across the range of UAP cases, ones that we're all familiar with, many people will look at them as a set of technologies or a curiosity about what the craft or the cause is. Doctors would look at them as a really unusual set of medical cases, the sort of things that would get written up in the British Medical Journal,
Starting point is 00:11:17 where a doctor says, I had a curious case the other day. I mean, there's enough, if you look across some of the cases that we covered, you know, Valensol, Volcan Lake, if you look at Rendlesham, you know, Vulcan Lake has this very curious burn pattern on Stefan Mitchellack's chest. Where did that come from? You know, the mitral valves, mitral valve that failed with John Burroughs in 2012, long time after the radiation exposure at Randlesham. I mean, it's a fascinating. case study for doctors. I mean, it would be a whole season on House MD. We need to get Hugh Lorry looking at some of this, but the doctors look at it a different way, and yet people and their health issues are in the background. You know, they're seen as maybe collateral damage, and we think people matter, and we think that it's another reason, a third reason why people in Congress and policymakers should take this topic seriously. Clearly there's national security, clearly there's safety of flight, but there's also health. And if Congress people are listening, then their citizens
Starting point is 00:12:25 are being affected. Their mental health and potentially their physical health is being affected. So come and have a look at what UAPs are all about.

Yeah, I wanted to ask you, a couple of the ways you arrived to this conclusion is looking at specific cases and the health effects from those cases. One of them I was curious about it. I was reading in your report was the Cash Landrum case.
Starting point is 00:13:20 really powerful case where you have what appears to be radiation poisoning. I was given a videotape by John Lear back in the day that I've never found online and it's a, it seems like just after the incident. I can say it wasn't completely vines shape. You know what I mean? Yeah, what was it? It wasn't partly pointed. That's the best way you can describe it, a botanic dime shape. They got out on that side of the car and aren't going to have a gift? trashment of the car and from
Starting point is 00:13:53 Toby Lee and Toby Lee tried to run and I grabbed him and held him and pushed him back in the car she walked to the of the front of the car and I thought
Starting point is 00:14:04 it was going to get burned up if I hadn't had told me I probably walked with her we've got pictures where I had a bed parked all over me
Starting point is 00:14:15 and I was in the bed for two weeks I was just sick My hands peeled off, completely. You know, right, my dangle pants. I mean, the whole thing peeled off, it's the niggil piece of the size of my neck. Well, if you kept asking us,
Starting point is 00:14:37 that's part of it hard, and you jerk my head around and he said, Mary Ma'am, what is it? I think we were just at the wrong place with the long time. It was something I believe that the government was escorting or something something that got and got a whole bunch of trouble. I mean, they're supposed to protect the people. But if it's a shame that the handful of government officials in Washington, D.C., can do anything they want and get by with it,
Starting point is 00:15:08 even commit murder, and never be punished. But now they're hereful of officials and Washington, D.C., they don't do anything. and their place why clean, they don't have to answer or be responsible for nobody. I don't know their direct origin, but it was given to me by Lear, and she's talking about the burns and talking about the hair falling out and all of these things. Out of all the cases you looked at for your report, is there any that really sticks out to you and why?
Starting point is 00:15:44 Well, I think that one is particularly concerning, because, as you say, a child was involved, and it's just such a common everyday occurrence, people driving across the country, and then whatever the cause was, it absolutely devastates their lives. I suppose I have a particular soft spot for Rendlesham and John Burrows,
Starting point is 00:16:07 partly because that's a British case. And, you know, we get the commentary over here that, hey, if you APs were real, they wouldn't all be in America, you know? Some of that absolutely nonsense. And so where we point to cases like, like Rendlesham, that's very good. And I think John Burrows has been such a stalwart
Starting point is 00:16:26 campaigning for better care and support for veterans and others affected. What the heck was going on out there that would draw this much attention from the agencies involved to this day? What would still be classified? And if it is, what did we have or what we were dealing with
Starting point is 00:16:45 that would still remain silent today? Almost every weapon we've ever developed back in that time frame has been exposed that we're aware of. And yet today, this is still classified and we can't even receive medical treatment for it. And he wrote a very persuasive article about two months ago in the Roswell Daily News about the importance of this topic. So I think Rendlesham stands out and also links with some of the research that was done in the UK by the Ministry of Defense in the 1990s.
Starting point is 00:17:16 One of the great parts about this report is it starts off with a bang with the Jacques Ballet, reviewing the literature, the work that he has done. I mean, he was an instrumental, a key figure in that whole Allsap program. And I think it's his part that notes how people are reluctant to report these injuries. There's no way really to estimate how many other people out there have had them because they're embarrassed to report it. Or when they do report it, they don't describe the actual circumstances, right? Absolutely. So Jack, I wrote the forward. He, an ambassador to Anne Hidden and he spent quite a lot of time with our medical advisory board because he's had so many firsthand experiences, not of the craft or the objects themselves,
Starting point is 00:18:01 but firsthand interviews with people who've had those experiences. And he writes, as you say in the forward, he says, witnesses have sometimes told me that they did not dare tell doctors what had happened to them, so they made up a story to account for their complaint. And that also echoes the account of somebody else we feature in the report, a man called Paul Sinclair. Paul is an experiencer based in Yorkshire. He's the author of a book called Night People, which is very moving. And he talks about an evening in 1997 and the morning after where he wakes up remembering some vague sense of there being grey figures clustered round his bed. And there are three deep puncture wounds, ash-filled puncture wounds in his back. There's a picture. He took a
Starting point is 00:18:54 polaroid of it. There's a picture in the Unhidden Report and also a record from his case notes when he went to the hospital. And the case officer, the casualty officer, obviously asked him, well, what happened? And Paul recalls that he would prefer to be regarded as a liar than to be thought of as mentally ill. So instead of explaining what happened, he said, I don't know. Isn't that terrible? We're supposed to be able to go to our doctors because it's a pillar of our relationship with our medical system. We're supposed to be able to go and tell our doctors everything. Intimate, embarrassing, they need to know, to coin a phrase. But not with this topic. The stigma around UAPs is so great.
Starting point is 00:19:38 People would prefer to be regarded as a liar than to run the risk of a diagnosis of mental health. And one more point on this, which is there's a... a professor in France, a professor Thomas Rabayron from the University of Lorraine. He's done some wonderful work setting up a counselling service for people who've had exceptional experiences. It's called Circe. And he wrote a paper in 2023 where he came up with a word for this, pathologisation. And he says that there's this double whammy of the experiences seeing something frightening, something in the sky that they can't explain.
Starting point is 00:20:16 and then the impact when they try and talk to their friends and families, they're ridiculed, and when they try and access the medical system, they're pathologised and potentially go down the road of a mental illness diagnosis. They're no more mentally ill than you, me and the gateposts. They've just seen something frightening, and the medical system can't digest that. So a key reason for putting this report together is to be able to engage with the medical community, the professional bodies, the government department, We're going to send a copy to Robert Kennedy Jr. at NIH and the Surgeon General to engage with them and say, this is real.
Starting point is 00:20:54 The information needs to flow down the chain so that if somebody comes in and says, I've seen something strange, or I saw a blue orb in my bedroom to coin the what happened to the Axelrod family in Skin Walker at the Pentagon, George, then they're taken seriously. And it is not a diagnosis of mental illness that would naturally follow. Some people have delusions That's part of the challenge of this topic But most people have just seen something strange and frightening And they need care and compassion, not ridicule and shame In general, can you say whether these injuries are intentional? I know it's hard to make that generalization
Starting point is 00:21:32 Given all the breadth of what you cover in this report But the only case I ever was familiar with That where it seemed intentional was Coleris, Which you do reference in this report. I was there in the recent paper. past. We tracked down many of the people who were there. Many of the public perceptions about Chalaris and what happened are way off-off base, according to the witnesses who had these injuries. They said, these things weren't laser beams. They seemed to be some sort of a sampling
Starting point is 00:22:01 operation. They get stuck with some kind of a filament and a ball of light, and blood is taken out of them. Can you talk about Chalaris and whether or not that is the only mass injury case where it seemed intentional. We wanted to include Calaris because of the wounds. So just in terms of the structure of the report, Section 2 is around UAP cases and drawing out the medical aspects of them. Section 3 is a more detailed review of the different mechanisms.
Starting point is 00:22:35 So electromagnetic radiation, wounds, autoimmune infections, and Section 4 is on the... the psychology and the mental health aspect. So we wanted to include Colaris, but mainly because of the suck-suck, the wounds that people have. But I think one of the things that is important from a medical perspective of UAPs, George,
Starting point is 00:22:58 is that the doctors are much less interested in the cause than the treatment. And that is the case in medicine generally is what does this patient need and what can I do for them, rather than back up the chain in terms of what caused that wound or what caused that injury. That's for others, for investigators, for the police in civilian matters. And in this case, it's for UFOologists.
Starting point is 00:23:23 And Jack Valle came and talked to our medical advisory board, and he said that the UFOologist interviewing an experiencer will ask a series of questions to try and understand more about the experience, what they've seen and the nature of UFOs and reality, up to the point where was the alien wearing a hat? Was there a badge on the hat? What colour was it? But a medical person will only ask those questions
Starting point is 00:23:49 that are helpful and relevant to the person and the patient. And there have been cases Jack was talking about where a doctor starts to put a patient into some sort of regression or some sort of hypnosis. They find out a little bit about what the experiences are and then they stop because they realise it's not to the advantage of the patient. Now, both of those approaches, the Ufologists going one way, and the doctor going the other way are legitimate. Unhidden is on the second of those. We're here to try
Starting point is 00:24:22 and help raise the profile of care and to help that care when it's needed. It's for others for UFOologists to judge what's happening and the reasons for it. There was a case you brought up in your report that I was less familiar with. It's Valenzhou, France, 1965, the French farmer, Maurice. Yes. Yeah. So what was interesting to me about that was that he, like a lot of people that don't want to go public, he talked about seeing a being. And like a little child-sized being.
Starting point is 00:24:56 There's even a drawing of it that I found online. And essentially the being walked up to him and used this like kind of pointed rod to paralyze him. And it's something that we've heard a lot about in UFO lore. Can you tell me anything about that case or what you found interesting about that? Yes. So, Maurice Mass was a lavender farmer and he was out early in the morning and he encountered a craft and a small sort of four foot high being who pointed, as you say, some sort of rod at him. And his symptoms were exhaustion. He had a change in sleep patterns and behavioral changes.
Starting point is 00:25:41 And he largely refused to talk about some of the key aspects of it. He wanted to keep it to himself. And there is a film that's been made, a movie that's been made of that that will be out in the autumn, which I think will bring a lot of it to life. Maurice Mass had been a distinguished member of the resistance, as I recall, so was very well regarded. And his testimony was seen with a huge amount of credibility of people in the village. but more than that I can't say
Starting point is 00:26:12 but some of those symptoms start to overlap and we don't have a cause and effect here with some of the symptoms connected with seizures and there are different parts of the brain connected with different seizures and so one of the things that's interesting is that Gary Nolan talks a lot about the cordate pewterman as the region of the brain that may be affected
Starting point is 00:26:34 I think there are other aspects the temporal lobe, the parietal lobe that may also be affected, and it's possible that some of the symptoms at Morris Maas had at least overlap with seizures, which may suggest certain aspects of the brain were affected. The report looks at physiological and psychological effects, and I don't know which category this falls into, but as you mentioned, Axelrod, who had encounters at Skinwalker Ranch, goes home and things start happening to he and his family in their home on the other side of the United States, and continued to happen for a number of years.
Starting point is 00:27:13 You know, people who had those experiences, intelligence officers, scientists who go to Skinwalker Ranch, are there to investigate whatever is going on, have had what has been called the hitchhacker effect. Is that psychological? Is it, could it be, do you have any theories on whether it is a side effect of technology? You know, they see creatures that don't exist
Starting point is 00:27:36 and which leave physical marks. And what they face is not just skepticism, but absolute scorn and ridicule. And I'm amazed that any of these stories ever surfaced to begin with. But can you elaborate on whether you think that falls into a psychological or physiological side effect of encountering some strange technology? Or do you even have a theory? It's very hard to say, isn't it? And the stigma around it and the initial approach to it. I mean, when one hears a story about the hitchhiker effect,
Starting point is 00:28:09 when one is relatively new to the topic, it goes into that, I can't compute, that cannot be right bucket. And it's only when you really understand the integrity and the reputation of the people who are experiencing this, extremely distinguished, very, very brave, courageous, battle-hardened,
Starting point is 00:28:31 intelligence community and military figures that you go, oh, this must be a real thing. So we really don't know. there are an interesting set and a broad range of symptoms and health issues around Skinwalker, aren't there? And I say again, George, draw attention to your excellent book and make the point that arguably yours is the definitive book on UAP medicine because there is no other and there is more about UAP medicine in that book than than anything else. We've got albs, we've got autoimmune There's a whole series of things, and I think people should want to know. Skinwalker is a great case study of a whole series of symptoms, which as our report shows, are echoed to some extent in many other cases. And I think we want to know and we need to know because it could be somebody close to you, somebody close to me who's affected or a first responder. At Virginia, it was a first responder in terms of Marco Elie Churray.
Starting point is 00:29:38 who was affected. It's not only military and intelligence community people. Civilians are affected, and I think we want to know what happens. I want to jump into a couple cases just because I think our audience, I was unfamiliar with some of the details. So I want to just, you know, kind of go through a reporting in your paper on Falcon Lake, 1965. I just want our audience to know kind of what we're talking about. So a few lines here on 20th of May, 1967, there was an industrial mechanic, Stefan Michalach, and he was prospecting in Canada, and he looked up and saw two cigar-shaped UFOs with like a reddish glow hovering about
Starting point is 00:30:21 45 meters away. And then one descended landing in close proximity, taking on more of like a disc shape, which is really interesting. Goes from the cigar shape in the sky all the way down when it's landing to more of a disc shape. The morphology, the changing a shape is interesting. thing. So the other craft remained up in the air for a few minutes and then flew off. And he went closer to this smooth metal ship. It had no seams. There was a bright doorway he saw on the craft. But he reached out and he touched the craft, which then later it melted the fingertips of his prospecting gloves. And shortly after that moment, he was struck in the chest by a blast of like, I guess, hot air or gas that pushed him backward. And And I hear he was really in disarray after that and had burns. There's these famous pictures of him in the hospital with this grid-like pattern of burns. So this is a different kind of interaction or negative health effect that I'm here. He got so close and there was heat involved.
Starting point is 00:31:23 I'm glad you, I'm glad that you put that into your report. It's one of those iconic UAP encounters where someone had like physically been harmed by getting close to one of these machines. I don't know. What do you make of that? Excema is unpredictable. But you can flare less with ebbglis. A once-monthly treatment for moderate-tissaphyr. After an initial four-month- or longer dosing phase,
Starting point is 00:31:48 about four-and-10 people taking ebbglyss achieved itch relief and clear or almost clear skin at 16 weeks. And most of those people maintain skin that's still more clear at one year with monthly dosing. Ebglis, Librikizumab, LBKZ. A 250 milligram per 2-millimeter injection is a prescription medicine used to treat adults and children 12 years of age and older who weigh at least 88 pounds or 40 kilograms. with moderate to severe eczema, also called atopic dermatitis that is not well controlled with prescription therapies used on the skin or topicals or who cannot use topical topical corticosteroids. Don't use if you're allergic to ebbglis. Allergic reactions can occur
Starting point is 00:32:20 that can be severe. Eye problems can occur. Tell your doctor if you have new or worsening eye problems. You should not receive a live vaccine when treated with ebbglis. Before starting Ebglis, tell your doctor if you have a parasitic infection. Ask your doctor about Ebglis and visit ebbglis.com or call 1-800 lilyrx or 1-800 545-9.9. This episode is brought to you by Perfect Bistro Cat Food. Hey guys, today I'm interviewing my cat about his perfect bistro food. Percy, you seem to be a big Perfect Bistro fan. Here to comment?
Starting point is 00:32:51 Totally. What do you like about it? You love the high-quality ingredients? And the delicious flavors, of course. Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. Listen to Percy, guys. Visit perfect bistro.com to try it for your cat. Well, you've described that very well.
Starting point is 00:33:10 I think one would write it very differently as a medical case report. One would focus less on the shape of the craft, and more one would talk about the symptoms, those being nausea, burns, obviously the grid-like pattern, which resolved to the grid-like position over a few days. It wasn't initially like that. Michalak had diarrhea, headaches, blackouts.
Starting point is 00:33:35 So a doctor would look at the, side of things and go, well, what can this be? And there is a paper referred to in the Orsat report by a man called McCamble from 1973, which goes a little bit further into some of the mechanisms. It's also even more definitive than the Orsat report about the proportion of UAP-related injuries that can be attributed to radio frequency, electromagnetic, radiation and it even comes up with a rather bizarre mechanism for how the grid-like pattern could be formed using from from electromagnetic radiation. So all roads lead back in McCamble's view to electromagnetic radiation.
Starting point is 00:34:26 We go there must be other things, wounds, infections and the like, but the dominant mechanism of injury does seem to be between 400 megahertz and 2 gigahertz, which is in the ultimate to high frequency in the microwave range. That photo, Jeremy, it looks like a checkerboard chess board on the guy's chess. It's pretty famous all over the place. There was a case that Ossap, you can continue asking them about the other ones you're out on your list if you want. Go ahead. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:34:54 So, I mean, just because I'm not sure how familiar, you know, we all learn these cases over time. We've seen images of them. But Rendlesham, you said, was close to your heart. That was 1980s. That was Airman First Class John Burroughs. and he was stationed at R.F. Woodridge, and so it was December of 1980. And that case was really kind of interesting because that is a documented UAP case by our own military. There's multiple witnesses from audio recordings on. And I think with John Burroughs, the thing was that he had
Starting point is 00:35:25 what appeared to be a heart issue that was caused by that close encounter. And we actually had him in 2013 at the citizen hearing on disclosure put on by, Ruben Langdon, the unsung hero of the citizen hearing. And it was a big event. It was like 40 witnesses over almost a week. And we had him testify. And when Burroughs testified, there's great footage of that. The five congresspeople and one senator that were up there were saying,
Starting point is 00:35:53 this is ridiculous. How can you not get medical benefits when they've admitted that these events happened? Well, they wouldn't admit that he was there. I think that was the problem with his service. So we got everybody there to write up to John McCain. and say, hey, this is a veteran. He needs surgery. This is because of a UAP exposure.
Starting point is 00:36:12 And sure enough, I remember the day it happened where he got authorized for full medical benefits and could get a life-saving surgery. That was the one good physical practical thing that came out of the citizen hearing, which is a mock congressional hearing. And here we are after 50 years of a dry spell. We're probably on our third or fourth UFO hearing.
Starting point is 00:36:33 We got one coming up. It's pretty exciting. But John Burroughs, from what I understand, he got his medical ability to get the surgery. And in fact, I believe this to be correct. I heard from his lawyer that during the surgery, right before the surgery, they got a call in the hospital, if I remember correctly, from a military doctor that knew exactly what they needed to do in this surgery, which signaled to us that there is a known problem with close proximity to UAP. and it seems to be electromagnetic effect based, but they told them exactly what to do to repair the heart injury. And I always found that fascinating.
Starting point is 00:37:11 So is there anything I'm missing there on the Randlesham case? I just want our audience to understand what happened that day. I think the only thing I would add is that there were reports from here in the UK, including the Condine report, which acknowledged enhanced levels of radiation at Randlesham in 1990. which supported John Burroughs case and led to the change of view and the fact that the Veterans Association would then support him. But I'd also add, and we include some academic research that supports the link between electromagnetic radiation effects and heart defects. And it's interesting to note too, isn't it, that one of the various symptoms that Jake Barber talks about in his various interviews, with Jesse Michaels and with Ross Cooltard is a heart valve defect.
Starting point is 00:38:08 So it's going back to the methodology of the paper, it's a question of piecing together the little bits of evidence to find the major mechanisms of action. And then what follows on from that is how you share that with doctors, including civilian doctors, so that they know what to do, and that there are treatment pathways including to specialists. I think your example of needing to know how to treat the heart valve in surgery is a really good example.
Starting point is 00:38:37 What if that was a civilian and a civilian doctor didn't know what to do? We're talking about various health effects from encounter cases where people get clout too close, not to beat a dead horse too much, Kalaris, back to Kolaris. It was widely believed by the public, including the UFO public, that deaths had been caused by these ships that came out of the river, came out of the sky, fired these beams of light and it killed people. That had been reported. I couldn't find any documentation that supported that during our trip to Colaris and the nids or the bass guys who went down. I think they didn't come to that conclusion either. Do you have any cases in this report
Starting point is 00:39:16 or in future reports where you can attribute UFOs caused a debt? The doctor in the Kalaris case suggests that two people died. That's in our report. but that's not what she said to the Brazilian authorities. And one may wonder quite what reliance may be given to that. But that's the only example I think we can think of where there is a statement of death related to one of the UAP instance. But there may well be others and that's too too many. So you have these different types of effects that people get. Some of them seem intentional.
Starting point is 00:40:00 So you go to Chloris and people are, you know, hit with like a fiber optic kind of thing that George investigated in his Netflix series. And he heard the real story of that. So that's a real determined, like these objects are shooting things down onto people's chest and they're attaching. But there's the whole other thing which is just accidental. It seems like just people close to the triangles like Burroughs was where he had these negative effects. There are two separate things. It's like the cause is intentional in some. other ones, they just seem like
Starting point is 00:40:31 aftermath. One of the people who was generous with his time for the report was Whitley Streber. So we had an hour with him and he shared some private correspondence with his neurologist
Starting point is 00:40:47 particularly around the white matter around his cordate puterman, which was interesting and we've included that in the document. I think he's a very thoughtful and balanced individual when it comes to the question of intent. He talks about some very intrusive procedures
Starting point is 00:41:07 that he recalls from his experiences and he's very balanced as to whether they meant to do it or whether they didn't know what they were doing. And I think the question of intent is particularly difficult, isn't it, when we don't know who the entities or the organisations who may be carrying this out. Back to the point around the medical, interpretation of this, which is whatever the patient needs, and that being the priority.
Starting point is 00:41:35 It's not the cause. It's the effect and the consequence of that effect. Are there other documentable brain effects that are considered in your report, your paper? Well, we go into some detail around the neurological effects and the work of Dr. Gary Nolan, which is interesting, as you'll know, around the crossover between the patients and the cases who presented with Havana syndrome and the patients who presented with UAPs and of the 100 or so brain injuries that Dr. Nolan and his team looked at,
Starting point is 00:42:09 was it 8, was it 12, who were UAP encounters, it was a relatively small number. And that white matter in the cordate putemen that Dr. Nolan studies produces is interesting too, isn't it, in terms of some of the wider, work that's going on around things like to slightly use a euphemism, intuition, human potential and the like. And we're very clear in the report the areas that we don't cover.
Starting point is 00:42:40 So we explicitly exclude Havana syndrome. That's not an area we want to look into. We explicitly exclude issues around consciousness. And I think it's good to be clear about that. And we also exclude some of the aspects around human potential. potential and the telepathy tapes. But we suspect that these issues will converge. And in a book on UAP medicine in 2040, who knows what will be in that, hopefully there will be such a thing and UAP medicine will be taught at medical school. And as Jack Valet says in his forward at the moment,
Starting point is 00:43:16 there is no job description as a UAP symptoms and complication specialist. We hope there will be specialist roles in the various health systems for people who are particularly knowledgeable about UAP injuries, UAP medicine and UAP treatment. Own it all.

Starting point is 00:44:06 We just haven't found the steps yet. How much did we save? Enough. Enough to get lost. Or you could book a stay with Hilton. Welcome to your ocean front room. Just steps from the water. The Hilton sale is on now. Book on Hilton.com or the Hilton app and save up to 20% to get.
Starting point is 00:44:26 the stay you expected when you want savings not surprises it matters where you stay hilton for the stay i have one more question for for our guest uh jeremy and then you could take it away wherever you want to go but you know jeremy asked you in the beginning john um how you got started we heard the win it was twenty twenty three uh but i want to go back to the why i mean you're a physicist uh you do civil engineering projects that doesn't normally lead to stuff the health effects of people who encounter UFOs. Was there an event? Did you have a personal event or a series of articles?
Starting point is 00:45:02 What got you down this road? So the personal dynamic is not being an experience there. I was very moved by the talk by Paul Sinclair, which I've already talked about. And I think it's a horrendous thing that the stigma exists around this topic so much. People go and lie to their doctors. That is a real dynamic. My personal introduction was I do a certain amount of work in the nuclear industry,
Starting point is 00:45:29 and I was intrigued as to how the objects knew where the nuclear facilities were, because if, as conventional physicists are supposed to believe, it's all swamp gas, ball lightning, to planet Venus, how do they know where the nuclear facilities are? Because that sounds like intelligent control. And what I found was not that that was the interesting thing, but when I tried to share that with friends, colleagues, other physicists, you get that look. John, you've gone all conspiracy theory on us.
Starting point is 00:46:02 And this stigma and shame around the topic is horrendous. Yingling and Yingling in a paper from last summer, August 2024, report that 69% of university academics are fearful of carrying out any research related to UABs because they're worried about ridicule and shame. So the research doesn't happen. And Hidden was set up initially to try and encourage better conversations, to roll back on the stigma and the shame. So you can have the conversation when you need it with your friends, with your family,
Starting point is 00:46:37 and if you need to, with your doctor. And our initial aspirations were quite low, and if we could help a few people, that would be great. I think we've done rather more than that. We're creating an impact. We're getting health in UAPs right up the agenda. And Unhidden's mission can be summarized in two simple words, which is people matter. And too often that's neglected in and around the UAP topic.
Starting point is 00:47:03 Thank you so much. I appreciated reading your paper. I really suggest that everybody get their hands on it. We'll put a link in the show so people can read it. And I think reading the DIA version and then reading kind of how you've moved the ball forward with your organization. I think that's a really nice comparison to people should read both. I also encourage people to read the, what is it, the ODNI report from, you know, just basically about the preliminary summary on UAP and the importance of safety. Anyway, thank you so much.
Starting point is 00:47:37 I really appreciate. I look forward to seeing your organization puts out as your third pillar. Thank you. John. Thank you very much. We'll be talking to you soon. Bye, bye. That's a great report.
Starting point is 00:47:47 You're right. We should share that with the public. People should read this. and I hope members of Congress read it before next week because there's a big date on the calendar, right? That's right. And one week from today, there's going to be a new UFO hearing. And there's no formal announcement that has been made out of all the people that were brought to them. But I know that a number of people have gone through the process successfully, meaning we'll see if there's an announcement made prior. But yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
Starting point is 00:48:19 we should probably be there. Oh, we'll definitely be there. All right, Jeremy. Talk to you soon. All right. Thanks, George.
