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.
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.
