Richard Dolan: USOs, PURSUE Files & Where UFO Disclosure Goes Next

Somewhere in the SkiesSep 28, 2026

UFO historian Richard Dolan returns to discuss volume two of his history of unidentified submerged objects (USOs), arguing that the 1970s was by far the most active decade for water-based UFO encounters. He walks through dramatic cases, including a glowing sphere disabling systems on the USS John F. Kennedy, Soviet divers allegedly meeting nine-foot beings in Lake Baikal, and a mysterious figure who reportedly walked through a bulkhead on the USS Saratoga to warn of an engine-room fuel leak. Dolan also weighs in on the PURSUE file releases, the Wall Street Journal's UFO hazing story, whistleblower waivers, and why he thinks a major data leak is more likely than official disclosure.

The Blenheim Encounter

Expanded PerspectivesJul 30, 2026

Hosts Cam Hale and Kyle Felts share a string of listener and archival encounter reports, headlined by a 1959 New Zealand case in which a dairy farmer near Blenheim saw a glowing disc land and a silver-suited occupant step out and shout at her. Other accounts include a 22-year Army veteran who says he watched a covert unit kill two Sasquatches during a 1996 exercise at Fort Lewis, and a Bolivian paramedic who says he treated a wounded, telepathic 'Nordic' visitor. The episode also covers a talking 'not deer' at Quantico, a transparent glass-like sky creature in Maine, little people on reservations, and an upright dogman seen by Border Patrol agents.
