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

Summary

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.

Key takeaways

• 1The sixth PURSUE tranche includes Middle East and East Asia UAP videos, Colorado law enforcement drone-sighting footage, the 1952 Tremonton UFO film, and OSAP research papers on warp drives, wormholes, cloaking, and time dilation.
• 2An hour-long 1952 audio briefing by Captain Edward Ruppelt to MIT Lincoln Lab scientists, released at Rep. Eric Burlison's request, cites about 800 cases with roughly 20% unexplained, sightings clustered near Oak Ridge, Los Alamos, and White Sands, and speeds up to 3,500 mph.
• 3Bigelow Aerospace (BAASS) files tied to Skinwalker Ranch were missing from the release and officials said they were destroyed, yet leaked copies were saved and posted by Dan Zetterstrom.
• 4A DoD waiver announced September 14 lets current and former personnel share UAP information with PURSUE despite NDAs, but the waiver document itself has not been made public; Ross Coulthart and the hosts call it a possible containment 'honeypot.'
• 5Christopher Mellon and the Disclosure Foundation published an open letter disputing the Wall Street Journal's June 2025 UAP reporting, citing its handling of Eric Davis, the 'Art Bell sample,' and the 1967 Malmstrom AFB missile incident, and asked the National Press Club to revoke its award.
• 6In 'Forbidden Science 7,' Jacques Vallée describes 'Gilbert,' a remote viewer allegedly taken to a lab inside a mountain to communicate with a light-emitting, six-foot-plus non-human entity. Vallée also says he once encountered a similar entity in his own home.

Transcript excerpt

There's been a horrible accident, I said hastily. I don't know what happened. Corcoran's eyeless skull gawked, his lower jaw having sagged more since I first found him, making it look like his corpse was trying to scream. His body is just a casing to be discarded, the man said softly. What's important is that you will not deny him burial in the method we prepared for him. We're his protectors. Stop us from doing his will and you'll be harmed. His transition has come and we are ready. Go back in the house. No one needs to know. Knifepoint Horror. Tales of supernatural suspense written, produced, and narrated by Sorn and Narnia. Now transmitting from SpectreVision Radio, anywhere you hear podcasts. Reports of flying saucers are nothing new. From the beginning of recorded time, men have been seeing unexplainable things in the sky. And there's no reason to doubt they saw something. The question is, was what they saw really there? And what was it they really saw? There is nothing to hide. There is nothing to hide at all. Welcome to Somewhere in the Sky is Alive. I am one of your hosts, Ryan Sprague. I was jamming out to my own music. I love that opening song, guys. And I never actually shouted out who does our opening music. Now, it's different for the podcast. Podcast is completely separate. That is a gentleman named Septembrio. You heard and saw him play at a nomicon. That was composed exclusively for the Somewhere in the Sky's podcast. However, the music you just heard and the music you'll hear at the end of our live streams is done by a band named Punch Deck. And they gave us permission to use anything. ...
