In this update video dropped June 30, 2023, (date noted as things change fast in this UFO world!), I go over an interesting development, as broken by Matt Laslo.

Here is a breakdown of what's going on, and what it may mean. The post Ep. #123 – DoD Makes Major Play To Block Release of UAP Information first appeared on The Black Vault.

A similar story has circulated for decades. Rumors of crashed non-human spacecraft, alien bodies, and tales of deep dark conspiracies and cover ups concealing it all. But this week, David Charles Grusch, or the UFO Whistleblower as the media has labeled him, speaks out and essentially confirms it all. The post Ep. #122 – Exploring the “UFO Whistleblower” Story first appeared on The Black Vault.

The United States Navy has denied the release of a classified video depicting a briefing on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) led by the former head of the UAP Task Force, Jay Stratton.

In this short episode, I breakdown a few documents likely related, describing UFO "material" years after the U.S. government / military's investigation into UFOs known as Project Blue Book. The documents show that within the walls of the CIA, despite the U.S. government's public stance, officials and personnel continued to watch UFO developments. They even reference "material" and something "handcarried" to the office of one of the CIA scientists. What was it? A document? A post it note? Piece of wreckage?

Science is advancing. New discoveries are pushing the boundaries of what we know and even what we believe.

Want to know more about the UFO office within the Pentagon? Well, when it comes to the last rendition of it anyway, the Department of Defense (DoD) does not want you to know much.

Despite the conversation about UFOs and UAP changing, and we hear talk about unidentified objects muttered in the halls of Congress, many are surprised when I say secrecy has deepened, not lessened. So, here is a breakdown on WHY I say that, with real world examples as released under the Freedom of Information Act. The post Ep. #111 – Is UFO Secrecy Deepening? Here’s why I say yes… first appeared on The Black Vault.

When it comes to Canada - one man has arguably spent more time than anyone digging through that country's UFO files. And his name - is Chris Rutkowski. He became so well known with investigating the unknown, the Canadian government enlisted his help to be their official consultant on UFOs. And he did so... for more than 20 years. Join me, as Chris steps into the Vault to explore what the current situation is with Canada and UFOs, and what has he discovered in the nearly five DECADES of his research.

It appears that my DoD/IG "deep dive" video (see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZ1F49EDZ5k) into Luis Elizondo's complaint did not sit well to some.
