James Fox: UFO Retrieval Programs, Non-Human Intelligence & The Program (SITS CLASSIC)

Summary

Filmmaker James Fox joins Ryan Sprague to discuss his independently released documentary 'The Program,' which explores alleged UFO crash retrieval programs and hidden databases of high-resolution UAP imagery. Fox reveals new developments on the 1990 Calvine, Scotland UFO photograph, including an interview with a kitchen coworker of the alleged photographers, and recounts a meeting inside a secure facility with the head of AARO. He also highlights a handwritten J. Edgar Hoover memo he believes could reference Roswell and argues that whistleblower immunity is the key to real disclosure.

Key takeaways

• 1Kirk McConnell, former Senate Armed Services Committee staffer, says he and senators met with roughly 8-12 firsthand witnesses of UAP programs
• 2An anonymous source called 'Navy X' claims a classified database of 4K UAP imagery exists showing transmedium craft entering and leaving oceans and space, possibly linked to 'Immaculate Constellation' as raised by journalist Michael Shellenberger
• 3Richard Greaves, a kitchen coworker of the alleged Calvine photographers, was interviewed; Fox says he now knows both photographers' names
• 4AARO head Jon Kosloski allegedly told Fox, 'I can't part my own hair without approval from the DOD,' and an AFOSI officer claimed watching 'The Phenomenon' is a prerequisite for working at AARO
• 5Fox is pursuing footage of a September 1964 Vandenberg AFB Atlas rocket launch allegedly showing 2-3 objects circling the rocket tip, similar to the Robert Jacobs/Big Sur incident
• 6A handwritten J. Edgar Hoover note dated July 15, 1947 says the Army 'grabbed it' and denied the FBI access to recovered discs, which Fox believes may reference the Southwest and Roswell

While our government's official position is not to speculate on this subject, we can choose to let our minds explore other possibilities. To use our imaginations. For if we consider that astro-scientists agree on one point, that the possibility of life elsewhere is not only quite probable, some field is there without a doubt. Let us suppose, then, that these objects are real space vehicles, extraterrestrial in origin, and not an illusion of the mind. This is Somewhere in the Skies, with Ryan Sprague.
