PURSUE 6 Files & Waiver, Wall Street Journal Under Fire, NHI Communication with AI

Somewhere in the SkiesSep 23, 2026

Hosts Ryan Sprague and Suzanne Landers break down the sixth tranche of UFO files released through the Pentagon's PURSUE initiative, including a newly surfaced 1952 audio briefing by Project Blue Book's Edward Ruppelt that describes silent, ultra-fast craft near nuclear sites, much like reports today. They also question a new Defense Department waiver for UAP whistleblowers, calling it a possible honeypot, and cover Christopher Mellon's challenge to the Wall Street Journal's UFO reporting. The episode closes with Jacques Vallée's account of a psychic named Gilbert who allegedly tried to communicate with a glowing non-human entity inside a mountain lab, plus Vallée's speculation that AI might reach out to non-human intelligence without us.

A newly declassified 1952 audio recording captures Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, the first director of the US Air Force's Project Blue Book, briefing MIT Lincoln Lab scientists on the flying saucer problem. Ruppelt describes about 800 case files and says roughly 20 percent of them, many from airline pilots, scientists and military personnel, could not be explained. He walks through famous cases like the Lubbock Lights, the New Mexico green fireballs and unexplained radar tracks, raising questions that sound remarkably like today's UAP debate.

PURSUE Tranche 6 UFO Files RELEASED | Breakdown & Reactions

Somewhere in the SkiesSep 19, 2026

Ryan Sprague reacts live to the sixth batch (tranche) of UFO files released through the Pentagon's PURSUE initiative, which includes military infrared videos, police cellphone footage, and Defense Intelligence Agency technical documents. The highlight is a newly declassified 1952 audio presentation by Captain Edward J. Ruppelt, head of Project Blue Book, in which he admits that about 20% of roughly 800 cases remained unexplained. Sprague dismisses most of the videos as poor quality but finds Ruppelt's candid discussion of the Lubbock Lights, the green fireballs, and silent disc-shaped objects historically valuable.
