PURSUE Release 7: AARO’s Black Triangle Case & the BAASS Files

That UFO PodcastOct 23, 2026

The seventh release of the government's PURSUE UFO files contains more than 1,100 pages across 28 documents but not a single video, and host Andy calls it a step backward. The headline case, D176, describes federal agents watching a silent, matte black triangle hover and then dart into a canyon at a sensitive Western US site in 2026, which AARO says matches other regional reports. The drop also includes roughly 700 pages of Bigelow Aerospace (BAASS) documents covering efforts to obtain alleged recovered craft and biological material, plans for an underground vault, and contact experiments at Skinwalker Ranch.

Jay Stratton’s FIRST-EVER Interview - Before The World Knew His Name

WeaponizedOct 21, 2026

George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell revisit Jay Stratton's first-ever on-camera interview from 2022, recorded years before he became the public face of UAP disclosure. Stratton, the only official known to have worked on AAWSAP, AATIP and the UAP Task Force, describes receiving the Gimbal and GoFast videos, sharing UAP data with defense contractors, and having three PhDs assess the USS Russell footage as a self-illuminating pyramid. The hosts also discuss Stratton's new book Out of the Shadows, his admission that he is 'Axelrod' from Skinwalkers at the Pentagon, the newly found AAWSAP files, and an alleged CIA block on Lockheed handing over crash materials.

Jay Stratton: Out of the Shadows

Somewhere in the SkiesOct 21, 2026

Former senior intelligence official Jay Stratton, who helped create the Pentagon's AAWSAP and AATIP programs and led the first UAP Task Force, has released his book 'Out of the Shadows,' claiming he has personally seen non-human beings and craft. Host Ryan Sprague breaks down Stratton's biggest claims, including 12 recovered craft allegedly held by Lockheed Martin and a nuclear submarine used as bait to lure UAP, along with Sean Kirkpatrick's sharp rebuttal. The episode also covers a memorial for Air Force witness Mario Woods, newly released files on orbs lured at White Sands, and a former Army sniper's story of soldiers fighting reptilian beings near Area 51.

Jay Stratton Steps Out of the Shadows

Need to Know (Coulthart/Zabel)Oct 19, 2026

Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel review Jay Stratton's new book Out of the Shadows, which Dolan calls the most valuable insider account of the modern UFO disclosure effort. Stratton describes a 2009 briefing by Lockheed's Jim Ryder alleging CIA control of a crash retrieval legacy program, a real Roswell crash with non-human bodies, and 12 alien craft held by Lockheed, along with a failed attempt to transfer one bell-shaped craft to Bigelow's team. The hosts also weigh Stratton's accounts of intentional orbs and the Skinwalker Ranch hitchhiker effect harassing his family, and frame the whole saga as a factional war inside the Pentagon and intelligence community.

#1030: Secret Societies And The Third Reich With Ricky Varandas

Tin Foil HatOct 14, 2026

Podcaster Ricky Varandas of The Ripple Effect joins Tin Foil Hat for a wide-ranging conversation that jumps from a plague scare and vaccine skepticism to the occult side of the Third Reich and claims that Hitler escaped to Argentina. Host Sam Tripoli argues that the world is run by 'sorcerers' practicing what he calls hardwired mysticism, and the guests speculate about elite rituals, Moloch, giants, and suppressed knowledge about human origins. The episode ends with UFO cases, telepathy research, Skinwalker Ranch, and David Grusch's disclosure claims, framed around the belief that governments are hiding humanity's true story.

Robert Bigelow and Brandon Fugal, the former and current owners of Skinwalker Ranch, sit down together for the first time on George Knapp's Bigelow podcast and describe a ranch where electronics fail, a calf died beneath an unidentified object, and a jawbone recovered from the creek reportedly matched an extinct dire wolf. Hosts Ryan Sprague and Suzanne Landers also cover Jack Osbourne's secondhand claim that President Trump said unknown beings are living in the oceans, and British MP Clive Lewis's charge that the UK Ministry of Defence misled him about UAP cooperation with Five Eyes allies. Rounding out the show are a new Gallup poll on public distrust, a Calgary anthropologist studying 'techno-shamanism' contact groups, and a new documentary about the 1971 Cote photo from Costa Rica.
