   The UFO Update S08E03 — Sunday Oct 18

   https://drjradio.live This episode dives deep into "the SCIF problem," exploring the frustrating reality Here is the full transcript: Good evening, truth seekers. I'm the Professor, and welcome to The UFO Update on Doctor Jay Radio Live... bringing intelligence to the discussion. And of course, I'm joined by my young colleague... [JOSH] Hey Professor! Always good to be here! The Peanut Gallery has been absolutely LIT this week, by the way, about the recent congressional testimony. People are frustrated, Prof. [REGGIE] Indeed, Josh. And that frustration, I believe, leads us directly into what I want to dive into today: The SCIF problem. We touched on it in this week's "UFOlogy This Week" article on Doctor Jay Radio Live — "The Whistleblower Pipeline: Grusch, Elizondo & Next Steps" — available now on drjradio.live. But we need to explore this further. This issue of classified UAP evidence that members of Congress can see but are legally prohibited from discussing... it's a disclosure bottleneck of immense proportions. [JOSH] Yeah, I saw that article, Professor, and it just makes me want to pull my hair out! So they're telling me that our elected representatives, the people who are supposed to represent US, can go into a... a SCIF, right? That's what it's called? [REGGIE] That's correct, Josh. A Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility. Essentially, a highly secure room designed to protect classified information from espionage and unauthorized disclosure. [JOSH] Right, so they go into this SUPER SECRET room, they see something that could be WORLD CHANGING, and then they walk out and they can't say a SINGLE WORD about it? Not even a hint? That's insane! How is that even allowed? Doesn't that defeat the whole point of transparency? [REGGIE] Well, Josh, you're hitting on the core of the problem, and why so many, including myself, find it utterly infuriating. The rules governing classified information, particularly Special Access Programs, are incredibly stringent. Members of Congress, even with their security clearances, are sworn to secrecy when they view this material. To disclose it would be a felony, punishable by severe penalties. [JOSH] But... but what if what they see is something that the public HAS to know? Like, non-human intelligence, crashed craft, exotic materials... all the stuff Grusch was hinting at? Surely, there's a point where the public's right to know outweighs the secrecy? [REGGIE] That's the ethical quandary, isn't it? And it's exactly where the system breaks down. As we've seen from the "Congressional UAP Testimony Under Scrutiny" article, there's a vast chasm between what's conveyed in classified settings and what then filters down to public perception. The struggle for clarity is real. Imagine being a lawmaker, seeing something that fundamentally alters your understanding of reality, and then having to walk onto the House floor and discuss mundane legislative matters, knowing you possess this world-changing secret you cannot share. [NIGEL] And Professor, if I may chime in, we've seen similar dilemmas across the pond, albeit perhaps on a slightly less dramatic scale, or at least one less publicly acknowledged. The British Ministry of Defence has its own labyrinthine classification protocols, you see. When we discuss our MOD files, particularly those pertaining to UAP incidents like Rendlesham, the public releases are always heavily redacted, often to the point of being rendered utterly meaningless. It's the same principle: a select few see the full picture, the rest of us get tantalizing crumbs. The official line, as always, is 'nothing to see here,' which, to my mind, is usually an indication that there is, in fact, quite a lot to see. [REGGIE] Excellent point, Nigel. The bureaucratic impulse towards secrecy is transnational. It's not just an American phenomenon. It's about control of information, ostensibly for national security, but often, one suspects, for other less noble reasons. The "Congressional Standoff and Experiencer Insights" piece also highlighted this friction, the legislative pushback against this wall of secrecy. [JOSH] So what's the solution then? If Congress can't talk, and AARO is busy putting out reports that just say everything is balloons and drones – and we saw that in the "AARO's Latest UAP Case Assessments" article, Professor, how they just dismissed everything – then how do we ever get the truth out? Do we just rely on whistleblowers to risk everything? [REGGIE] That's precisely what we're being forced to do, Josh. And it puts immense pressure on individuals like David Grusch and Luis Elizondo. They have seen *some* of this information, often in SCIFs themselves, and then they've had to navigate the incredibly complex legal and personal risks of trying to bring a fraction of it to public light, or at least to the unclassified congressional committees. Their attempts to work within the system are what we termed the "whistleblower pipeline" in this week's feature. But even *they* are legally constrained in what they can say publicly. It's a frustrating, inefficient, and frankly, dangerous path to transparency. [KORIE] And Professor, Josh, it also leaves so many people feeling completely unheard and disrespected. I'm just sayin' — while Congress is trying to get a peek into these secret rooms, and these whistleblowers are fighting bureaucracy, there are people out there, regular folks, who are having actual, physical, undeniable experiences. I spoke to a woman just last week, in Phoenix, a perfectly rational, grounded person, a retired schoolteacher. She described seeing a triangular craft, silent, moving impossibly slow over her backyard at treetop height, then accelerating to an unbelievable speed in literally the blink of an eye. She was shaking when she told me the story. She said it wasn't a drone, it wasn't a balloon, it wasn't any plane she'd ever seen. She felt a profound sense of... being observed. [JOSH] Wow! See, Professor, that's what I'm talking about! That's what people need to hear! Not just some vague talk about SCIFs. What did she feel, Korie? That's amazing. [REGGIE] Korie has got another story... I love these Korie Stories... unfortunately they are generally without evidence, but go on — they are DEFINITELY entertaining! [KORIE] I'm just sayin', Professor — I didn't make this up, THEY told me this. And she was crying when she described the feeling, like she was being scanned, intellectually and emotionally. It wasn't scary, she said, it was... profound. Like her entire worldview shifted in that moment. She was looking for answers, not just from the government, but from science, from philosophy, from somewhere, anywhere. [JOSH] That's incredible. See, Korie, you get it! That's what I want to know about! [REGGIE] And this is precisely where the Professor has to be careful not to fall into his own curmudgeonly trap. As Carl Sagan reminded us, Josh, wonder and rigor are not enemies. Korie, I respect your dedication to these firsthand accounts. They are, as you correctly point out, a crucial part of the narrative, perhaps even more so than the classified briefings because they represent the *human interaction* with this high strangeness. This phenomenon, whatever its ultimate nature, is clearly interacting with human consciousness in ways our current scientific paradigms struggle to explain. Jung's collective unconscious comes to mind here, the archetypal resonance that these experiences seem to tap into. It's not just about nuts and bolts in a SCIF; it's about what happens in the human psyche when confronted with the truly unknown. [JOSH] So, Professor, are you saying that maybe what these people are seeing, like Korie's teacher, is related to what's in the SCIFs? Or is it something else completely? I mean, are we talking about the same phenomenon, or are there... multiple things going on? [REGGIE] That's a fundamental question, Josh. And one that the SCIF problem directly obstructs us from fully addressing. If the classified material details advanced craft, non-human entities, or even dimensional travel – which, yes, we can discuss without losing credibility, as our Newtonian physics framework is increasingly proving incomplete – then those pieces of evidence might provide context for Korie's experiencer accounts. But because that information is locked away, we're left to speculate, to connect dots from disparate, unverified sources. The truth, in this case, is literally behind lock and key. [JOSH] So, it feels like we're in this endless loop. Whistleblowers hint at things, Congress sees things they can't talk about, AARO dismisses everything, and then people like Korie's teacher are out there having these mind-blowing experiences with no official explanation. How do we break this cycle, Professor? [REGGIE] By continuing to push for transparency, Josh. By demanding accountability from our institutions. By supporting investigative journalism, like Korie's, and by encouraging rigorous, intelligence-driven discussion, as we strive to do here on Doctor Jay Radio Live. Big thanks to StarGazer_Dave in Tucson who wrote in about this very conundrum last week – keep those emails coming! And to NightOwl_Sarah who caught that fascinating MUFON case we missed in the last update. If you caught Doctor Jay's interview with Leslie Kean last month on the channel, she spoke at length about the frustrations of this very SCIF barrier. We have to keep asking the questions, keep piecing together the available fragments. Because, as Sagan reminded us... somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. [JOSH] Yeah! And Professor, come on, you can't just dismiss AARO's prosaic explanations if they're not even looking at the same evidence Congress is seeing in those SCIFs! It's not fair to the phenomenon, or to the public! [REGGIE] You know, Josh, you actually have a very fair point there. It's easy for me to dismiss a report that feels incomplete. My own dogmatic tendencies kick in, I admit it. But if AARO's assessments are based on an entirely different, perhaps sanitized, dataset than what's available to select members of Congress in a SCIF... then their conclusions are, by definition, incomplete. Their methodology, as we discussed in the article, would indeed be suspect. Alright, Josh, I'll give you that one. That's a crucial distinction. [REGGIE] I merely report facts, Captain. The truth is out there... waiting for those with the intelligence — and the wonder — to find it. This has been The UFO Update. Good night. [JOSH] And remember — keep looking up!

   The UFO Update S08E02 — Sunday Oct 11

   https://drjradio.live This episode delves into the recent AARO report, highlighting its significant Here is the full transcript: Good evening, truth seekers. I'm the Professor, and welcome to The UFO Update on Doctor Jay Radio Live... bringing intelligence to the discussion. And of course, I'm joined by my young colleague... [JOSH] Good evening, Professor. Always a pleasure. Ready to dive into the deep end of the high strangeness pool. The Peanut Gallery has been buzzing all week about the new AARO report, and I'm ready to unpack it. [REGGIE] Indeed, Josh. And speaking of AARO, while they delivered a lengthy document, one recurring pattern seems to have been conveniently... glossed over. I'm talking about the undeniable, well-documented pattern of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena appearing over our most sensitive nuclear installations. Both here in the United States, and across the globe. It's a phenomenon that dates back to the very dawn of the atomic age, and continues to this day, yet AARO offers barely a footnote. [JOSH] Right! It's like, the biggest elephant in the room! If you've got these incredible craft, displaying impossible maneuvers, showing up above sites that house humanity's most destructive power... that seems like a pretty important data point, doesn't it? Like, what are they doing? Are they monitoring us? Are they disabling our weapons? Are they just... curious tourists? [REGGIE] Ah, the classic 'curious tourist' theory. Always a crowd-pleaser. But let's apply some rigor, Josh. What would ET do? If an intelligence has traveled light-years, or perhaps dimensions, to observe our planet, and they see we have developed the capacity for global self-annihilation, wouldn't that be a PRIMARY point of interest? It's not just a few isolated incidents. We have a litany of reports from highly credible witnesses – former military personnel, security forces – detailing UAPs hovering, interfering with, and even disabling intercontinental ballistic missiles. We're talking Malmstrom Air Force Base in Nineteen-Sixty-Seven, Bentwaters in Nineteen-Eighty. These aren't anecdotal whispers. These are highly corroborated accounts. [JOSH] I mean, Malmstrom, right? That’s like the gold standard. A red orb appears, disables ten Minuteman ICBMs. Ten of them! And the Air Force basically says 'nothing to see here.' Come on, Professor, that's not just a curious tourist. That's a direct INTERVENTION. What would Bashar say about that? Is it a warning? A cosmic timeout? [REGGIE] It certainly suggests a level of engagement far beyond passive observation. And the AARO report, despite its hundreds of pages, dedicates virtually no serious analysis to this specific, recurring, and potentially civilization-altering aspect of the phenomenon. It's a gaping hole. This isn't just lazy speculation on our part, Josh. This is about asking why such a critical pattern is being ignored by the very body tasked with studying these phenomena. It's almost as if acknowledging it would force them to confront implications they are simply not ready to handle. [NIGEL] If I may interject, Professor, across the pond, we've had our own rather infamous incidents. The Rendlesham Forest case in Nineteen-Eighty, near RAF Bentwaters and Woodbridge, involved American servicemen witnessing a craft land, interact with the environment, and then return. And crucially, it hovered over a nuclear weapons storage area. The Ministry of Defence, bless their hearts, assured us all there was nothing to see. Only for subsequent declassified files to reveal a rather frantic internal discussion. The pattern you describe, Reggie, of UAPs showing an acute interest in our nuclear capabilities, is absolutely mirrored in European intelligence. It’s a global theme. And it’s not just military sites. We’ve seen persistent reports, albeit less publicized, over nuclear power stations across Europe for decades. The silence from official channels is, shall we say, rather deafening. [REGGIE] Precisely, Nigel. The consistency across different nations, different military branches, over decades, points to a clear, intentional pattern. It's harder than ever to dismiss. And yet, official narratives prefer to focus on radar blips or mundane explanations for random balloons. They shy away from the High Strangeness inherent in these nuclear incidents, because it challenges their entire Newtonian physics framework. [JOSH] So, Professor, if it's not tourists, and it's not random, then what's the most intelligent guess? Are they saying 'Hey, kids, play nice with the nukes?' Or are they actively protecting us from ourselves? It almost sounds like a benevolent oversight. [REGGIE] "Benevolent oversight" is one hypothesis, Josh. It's a plausible one. Some researchers, citing the consistent pattern of these events often coinciding with malfunctions or shutdowns of our nuclear arsenal, suggest a directive to prevent large-scale nuclear conflict. Others propose a more neutral, observational stance – understanding our technological evolution, our destructive potential, perhaps as a benchmark for other developing species. But the fact that they *intervene* at times, as you pointed out with Malmstrom, suggests more than mere observation. It hints at a prime directive, or at least a profound interest in our trajectory as a species. [KORIE] That is fascinating analysis, Professor, but I sat across from a woman in Phoenix last month who had a very different take on nuclear sites. She grew up near the Nevada Test Site, lived there through the Nineteen-Fifties and Sixties. She didn't talk about benevolent aliens. She talked about fear. She said she and her family saw things in the sky, particularly after tests. Not just the mushroom cloud, but these silent, metallic objects that would just APPEAR, sometimes staying for hours. She described feeling physically ill, and attributed a lot of the unexplained illnesses in her community to both the tests AND the presence of these objects. She wasn't an experiencer in the sense of being abducted, but she experienced a profound, lifelong, unsettling presence. I'm just sayin – this is the story as given. She saw this with her own eyes and she was SHAKING telling me about it, even all these years later. It wasn't about saving us; it was about something watching, and not caring about the human cost. [REGGIE] Ah, Korie, you always bring us back to the human element. And I love these Korie Stories... unfortunately, they are generally without hard evidence, but go on – they are DEFINITELY entertaining! And quite often, deeply unsettling. Your point, however, is well taken. While we discuss the grand cosmic implications, the actual experience on the ground, particularly for those living near these sites, can be terrifying and disempowering. The fear, the psychological impact, the unexplained health issues – these are all legitimate facets of the phenomenon that often get overlooked in favor of technical analysis. [JOSH] Yeah, Korie, that's heavy. Easy for us to sit here, theorizing about alien motivations. But for someone living through that, it's real-world fear. Like, what if those objects *weren't* benevolent, but just observing the impact of the radiation, treating us like lab rats? [KORIE] I'm just sayin, Josh – I didn't make this up, THEY told me this. And when you sit with someone who lived through it, you start to question the neat, clean theories. The Professor talks about high strangeness, and her account had it in spades. The way the objects moved, the effect they had on people and animals... it was profound. [REGGIE] And that, Korie, is where we must also acknowledge the limitations of our current scientific paradigm. Carl Jung, in his work on flying saucers, recognized that these phenomena often intersect with the collective unconscious, triggering archetypal responses – fear, wonder, awe. The objective reality of the UAP, coupled with the subjective human experience, creates a complex tapestry. The nuclear sites, being points of immense power and potential destruction, naturally become focal points for both objective observations and subjective, often terrifying, experiences. It's a nexus point, where humanity's technological hubris meets something truly inexplicable. [JOSH] So, AARO ignoring this pattern... it's not just a blind spot, it's almost like a deliberate avoidance of the most profound implications. They don't want to touch the archetypal fear of nuclear annihilation being mediated by an unknown intelligence. [REGGIE] I wouldn't go so far as to call it a conspiracy, Josh, not without evidence. But it certainly suggests an institutional discomfort with data that doesn't fit neatly into a pre-existing worldview. It's a failure of intelligence, in the truest sense of the word. They're trying to put a three-dimensional phenomenon into a two-dimensional box. And that, my friends, is why Doctor Jay Radio Live exists – to bring intelligence to the discussion. A huge shoutout to Quantum_Quinn in Boulder, who sent us a fascinating link this week about declassified documents from the French MOD regarding UAP over their nuclear facilities. And thanks to TruthSeeker_Tim, who keeps the Peanut Gallery buzzing on the Doctor Jay Radio Live YouTube channel with his comprehensive breakdowns of the historic nuclear site cases.

   The UFO Update S08E01 — UAP Disclosure, Geopolitics, and Secrecy

   https://drjradio.live This episode delves into the complex, often contradictory landscape of international UAP disclosure. While some nations take tentative steps towards transparency, others cling to secrecy, revealing a fascinating interplay of geopolitics, national security, and deeply entrenched institutional inertia. • Explore why some major powers remain silent on UAPs despite global buzz. • Unpack the geopolitical motivations behind secrecy, from technological advantage to societal disruption fears. • Hear how the UK government approaches UAP sightings with "polite evasion" and a "masterclass in stonewalling." • Learn about the contrasting, more open-minded approaches in some European nations like France. • Discover the personal impact of official silence and dismissal on credible UAP experiencers. Here is the full transcript: Good evening, truth seekers. I'm the Professor, and welcome to The UFO Update on Doctor Jay Radio Live... bringing intelligence to the discussion. And of course, I'm joined by my young colleague, the ever-curious Josh. [JOSH] Hey Professor! Always a pleasure to be here, especially tonight. I've been watching the news, seeing a lot of chatter, and I'm just bursting with questions about this whole international disclosure thing. It feels like we're on the precipice, doesn't it? [REGGIE] Precipice indeed, Josh. And that's precisely what we're drilling into tonight. The global UAP landscape is shifting, but not uniformly. We're seeing some nations tentatively step forward, while others are digging their heels in deeper than ever. It's a fascinating, complex dance of geopolitics, national security, and perhaps, a deep-seated fear of the unknown. We need to discern between genuine progress and strategic stonewalling, because that's what intelligence demands. [JOSH] Right! I mean, the US seems to be talking about it more, setting up offices, even releasing some videos. But then you look at other major powers, and it's crickets. Are they just… behind? Or is there something more nefarious at play, Prof? Are they actively trying to suppress information that their own citizens are seeing? [REGGIE] That's the core question, isn't it? And it's rarely as simple as being "behind." Often, it's about deeply entrenched institutional inertia, a lack of public pressure, or a very deliberate decision to maintain secrecy for reasons that might range from strategic technological advantage to an existential fear of societal disruption. Remember, Josh, what would ET do? They wouldn't necessarily land on the White House lawn. And what would *we* do if we were sitting on a technological secret that could redefine humanity? You'd keep it close, wouldn't you? Think about the implications of reverse-engineering unknown materials and propulsion systems. That's a zero-sum game in the current geopolitical climate. [JOSH] So it's not just about little green men, it's about... power. Always power. It's like the more advanced the secret, the tighter the lid. Speaking of tight lids, I hear we have Nigel joining us from across the pond. Nigel, what's the word from the UK and Europe? Are they warming up to disclosure, or is it business as usual for the Ministry of Defence? [REGGIE] Indeed, let's bring in our man in London. Nigel, old chap, give us the unvarnished truth. Is the continent finally coming around, or are they still insisting it was merely swamp gas and weather balloons? [NIGEL] Good evening, Professor, Josh. Always a pleasure. Well, one might say the British government's approach to UAPs is a masterclass in polite evasion. While the Americans have been making rather a fuss, the Ministry of Defence has, once again, assured us there is absolutely nothing to see here, nothing worth investigating, and certainly nothing that poses a threat to national airspace. Which, of course, usually means there is quite a lot to see. They closed their dedicated UFO desk in two thousand and nine, claiming no defense benefit from its continued operation. And they've stuck to that narrative with bulldog tenacity. They occasionally release a few heavily redacted files, largely historical, that confirm absolutely nothing new. It’s a very British form of stonewalling, you see. Plausible deniability wrapped in a cup of tea. [JOSH] So they're just... ignoring it? Come on, Nigel, with all the global buzz, you're telling me the British don't have their own sightings, their own cases, their own high-strangeness events that people are reporting? Are they just dismissing it all? [NIGEL] Dismissing it all is their default setting, Josh. One might say it's an art form. While other European nations like France have had more open-minded agencies, the British government has traditionally opted for the 'ignore it until it goes away' strategy. And occasionally, they trot out the official line that these are simply misidentified conventional objects, atmospheric phenomena, or... well, let's just say a good strong cup of Earl Grey might clear up some of those 'sightings.' But the sightings persist, of course. The public just doesn't have an official channel anymore. [REGGIE] It's a fascinating contrast, isn't it? The French, with GEIPAN, have historically been more public-facing in their investigations. But then you have the UK, which has some of the most compelling historical cases, like Rendlesham, choosing to bury its head in the sand. It speaks volumes about the differing cultural and political approaches to what is fundamentally the same global phenomenon. It makes you wonder, if their own intelligence services know something profound, why the public dismissal? Perhaps it's less about dismissal and more about managing the narrative in a very particular way. Carl Jung himself spoke of archetypal imagery emerging from the collective unconscious in times of great change. Perhaps some governments fear what that collective unconscious might do if the lid is truly blown off. [REGGIE] And speaking of individual experiences and the human element in all this, we have Korie Good with us. Korie, you've been talking to people who've had these encounters, often in places where their governments are utterly silent. What's the impact of this international silence on the experiencers themselves? [KORIE] Thanks, Professor. And that's exactly what I'm seeing. While the US is having this internal debate, I recently spoke with a woman in Germany, a professional, highly credible witness, who described seeing a massive, silent, triangular craft over the Rhine. She reported it to local authorities, and of course, they had absolutely no idea what to do, basically told her it was probably a drone and to forget about it. She was clear-eyed, articulate, and absolutely shaken by what she saw, but the official response was silence, dismissal. She felt completely isolated, like she was shouting into a void, with no one to validate her experience or even take it seriously. I'm just sayin — this is the story as given. This is what people are experiencing when their governments are actively refusing to engage. [JOSH] Wow. That's rough. And completely understandable. I mean, if you see something that fundamentally challenges your reality, and then your own government tells you it's nothing, it makes you question everything. That's got to be more damaging than just saying, "We don't know what it is." Korie, what does she do now? Just live with it? [KORIE] That's it, Josh. She joins a growing global community of experiencers who feel abandoned by their own systems. She came to me because she felt comfortable sharing with Doctor Jay Radio Live's community, our Peanut Gallery, knowing she'd find others who understand. But the official channels? For her, they were a dead end. And that's the real human cost of this international stonewalling. It's not just about classified documents; it's about people's sanity and their trust in institutions. [REGGIE] Korie has got another story... I love these Korie Stories... unfortunately, they are generally without evidence beyond the witness testimony itself, but go on — they are DEFINITELY entertaining! Yet, Korie, you highlight a critical point. The lack of an official framework for reporting and validation leaves a vacuum, which is then often filled by speculation, disinfo, or simply profound personal trauma. It's a dangerous game for governments to play. We see the US grappling with this now, realizing that ignoring the phenomenon only allows others to define it, and often, weaponize it. [JOSH] But Prof, what if these other countries, like Germany or even the UK as Nigel said, *do* know something, but they're just better at keeping it quiet? What if they're not behind at all, but just ahead in terms of operational security? What if *they* are the ones who've actually made contact, or are reverse-engineering something, and they just don't want the world to know? [REGGIE] An intriguing thought, Josh. A good brainiac question. And certainly, a plausible one. Some nations might have their own equivalent of a "Manhattan Project" for UAP tech, completely off the books. What would ET do? They'd engage with whoever was most capable, or perhaps, least likely to cause global panic. The fact that the US is *talking* about it, ironically, might make other nations *more* tight-lipped, not less. They might view it as a strategic error to reveal their hand. As Doctor Jay covered on the channel last month with his guest on quantum entanglement, our understanding of physics is incomplete. What if one nation has unlocked a piece of that puzzle and is not about to share? [NIGEL] Indeed, Professor. The geopolitical implications of such a technological leap would be... staggering. We can only speculate about what classified research might be occurring in laboratories well out of the public eye. The silence from certain quarters isn't necessarily ignorance; it could very well be a very sophisticated form of information warfare. A quiet race for something extraordinary. [KORIE] And while these geopolitical games play out, it's the ordinary person, like the woman I spoke to, who's left wondering what they saw, and why no one in authority seems to care. It's easy for you guys to discuss quantum entanglement and information warfare from behind your microphones, but on the ground, it's a very human experience of confusion and fear. I'm just sayin. [REGGIE] And that, Korie, is why your reporting is so vital. It grounds us. It reminds us of the profound human impact of this phenomenon, regardless of the level of official disclosure. As Sagan reminded us... somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known. And he also warned against curmudgeonism – the dismissal of wonder simply because it makes us uncomfortable. Whether it's the US taking hesitant steps, or Europe and the UK playing their cards very close to their chest, the phenomenon itself doesn't care about our borders or our political games. It's here. And the longer governments delay a truly intelligent, global discussion, the more fragmented and isolated the human experience of it becomes. Big thanks to StarGazer_Dave in Tucson who wrote in about this very point, saying governments need to stop playing catch-up. And a shoutout to NightOwl_Sarah who caught that Mufon case we missed about a similar multi-national sighting. Keep those comments coming on the Doctor Jay Radio Live YouTube channel.
