Interview with Chris & Sean O'Leary in a first-of-its-kind account of a family that reports nearly 70 years of repeated alien encounters. Their experiences began in 1959 when their mother was allegedly taken in broad daylight by a silent triangular craft. What followed were decades of abductions involving underground installations, medical procedures, Mantis beings, and the revelation of a hybrid child created through non-human intervention. As a child, one sibling was reportedly taken alongside the mother and later alone, guided through craft interiors and operating rooms. In the 1970s, a daytime landing in the family’s backyard allegedly resulted in the entire family being taken to an underground facility with hundreds of other abductees present. One brother later became a police officer and describes a unique relationship with the Greys, including telekinetic training and an agreement allowing voluntary cooperation without paralysis—an agreement he says was honored until 2023. He is also believed to be the first police officer to ever confront a Grey at point-blank range with his service weapon. Everything changed on August 19, 1996, when a saucer reportedly materialized above the home in broad daylight during the return of the police officer from an abduction. Multiple witnesses observed the event, and due to the timing, memory suppression allegedly failed—resulting in sudden shared recall across multiple family members without hypnosis.<a href="https://podcastufo.com/upcoming-chris-sean-oleary/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SHOW NOTES</a>

When he got below the clouds, fog and mist near the ground blocked his view of the lake, but his attention was quickly drawn to another matter altogether. To his right, he saw a 3-meter-diameter saucer with a cupula on top that had what looked like a small window and an antenna. He looked to his left and saw an identical object. Both were 20 centimeters above the wings and about 1 ½ meters from the cabin. <a href="https://podcastufo.com/mibs-in-mexico/#more-7715" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read more →</a>

In this exclusive interview, Martin Willis speaks with Professor Matthew Szydagis, Ph.D., a physicist at the University at Albany whose groundbreaking work in dark matter detection has now expanded into one of the most promising academic UAP research initiatives in the country. Following a major new endowment to UAlbany, Prof. Szydagis and his colleagues have launched a serious scientific investigation into UAP hotspots, using advanced detector technologies, atmospheric monitoring, and the same rigorous methods applied in particle astrophysics. The discussion covers the new funding and what it enables, why the team is focusing on hotspot regions, the technologies they plan to deploy—including concepts adapted from dark matter research—how academia can help answer the UAP question, Prof. Szydagis’s personal drive to understand these phenomena, the challenges and opportunities ahead for scientific UAP study, and his collaborations with Prof. Cecilia Levy and Prof. Kevin Knuth. Whether you’re interested in astrophysics, UAP science, or the future of academic research, this conversation offers a rare inside look at a university-backed effort to bring hard data and real science to the UAP mystery.<a href="https://podcastufo.com/show-716-notes-matthew-szydagis/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SHOW NOTES</a>

SBI had its own publication at the time, and a report on the case was published in the Vol. 3, No. 6 SBI Report. SBI was based in Staten Island, NY, and one member readers might recognize was Peter Robbins, who is listed as art director for the magazine.According to Pinkney, “dozens of people” were “caught up in bizarre events” in Nowra, which is 150 km south of Sydney: railway men reported they saw lights hovering over abandoned mineshafts; a foal was found with its leg cut off “neatly from its shoulder; a “huge, brightly lit object” paced a bus with 40 passengers “for seven minutes, before vanishing up a shaft of light in the clouds;” a newspaper man saw a mass of what looked like meteorites fly up from the ground into the air in 1978; a 12-meter-diameter ring was found burned into a field after a farmer told police that “a weird thing had crashed on his property, starting a bushfire;” and two hunters shot at a two-meter-tall, human-like entity that vanished and left an overpowering odor that made one of the hunters sick for several hours.  Pinkney’s main focus, however, is on a case involving not only some unusual trace evidence, but physical effects on the witness as well.According to Pinkney, Frank Burke, a pastrycook, was driving through the Kangaroo Valley heading home from work at around 10:30 p.m. when a “blazing light” engulfed the car. Burke said it lit up the area in a radius of around 25 feet and “was so intense I could have read the fine print of a newspaper or counted the ants at the roadside.” He was listening to music coming from a cassette player/recorder sitting on the seat next to him, and it stopped playing as soon as the light came down. <a href="https://podcastufo.com/a-1981-close-encounter-report-from-australia/#more-7633" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read more →</a>

Join Martin Willis as he sits down with researcher, author, and trained remote viewer Ryan Kralik to explore the ideas behind his forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness. Kralik proposes a groundbreaking model in which matter, life, consciousness—and even UFO phenomena—are emergent expressions of information seeking stability, structure, and meaning. Drawing from years of analytical work in communication and technology, combined with his background in psi research and anomaly investigation, he examines how reality may encode experience itself. We discuss how this framework may help explain UFO/UAP encounters, remote viewing, synchronicities, and the deeper architecture of consciousness. If you’re interested in cutting-edge theories at the intersection of UFOs, mind, and physics, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss.<a href="https://podcastufo.com/show-notes/713-ryan-kralik/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SHOW NOTES</a>👉 Join us on Patreon — Get ad-free podcast episodes (for any media player) for as little as $2/month:<a href="https://www.patreon.com/MartinWillisPodcastUFO" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://www.patreon.com/MartinWillisPodcastUFO</a>🛸Did you have a UFO/UAP Encounter?

The main witness, a 16-year-old who ran his own security company, Grant Breiland, reportedly took a photo that was not developed at the time of the article. The other witness, identified only as “N.B.” was a 19-year-old male who said he saw the same object. Breiland was interviewed extensively by former University of Victoria linguistics professor, Dr. P.M.H. Edwards. Edwards wrote a report that was published in the Vol. 27, No. 4, January 1982 Flying Saucer Review.When we left off, Breiland had just been confronted in the glass-doored vestibule of a shopping mall by two men dressed in extremely dark blue clothing. They were stiff and robotic, had tanned faces and lips the same color, no eyebrows, and “Eton crop” haircuts. He was scared by not only their non-human appearance, but also by the fact that there were suddenly no people to be seen anywhere, which was the case during the entire encounter. According to Edwards, they asked him what his name was, where he lived, what his phone number was, and he refused to answer. After staring at him for five seconds, they turned on their heels “as one man,” walked outside (it was raining), crossed the sidewalk to the road, went left, and walked in sync in a military fashion. Breiland followed them and watched as they walked onto a muddy, excavated field and then vanished before his eyes. He ran to the spot where they disappeared and saw they had left no footprints. <a href="https://podcastufo.com/a-1981-mib-report-from-british-columbia-canada-2/#more-7592" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Read more →</a>

What if artificial intelligence isn’t just human innovation — but part of a far older, non-human agenda? In this fascinating episode, Martin Willis speaks with Danielle Silverman, close associate of the late Nigel Kerner, to explore his provocative ideas from Grey Aliens and Artificial Intelligence: The Battle Between Natural and Synthetic Beings for the Human Soul. Nigel Kerner argued that the so-called Greys — the classic UFO entities reported in abductions — are synthetic bio-machines created by an ancient intelligence. Their mission? To study and ultimately harvest the human soul — the one thing they cannot reproduce. Danielle helps unpack Nigel’s research into how this alien technology might be guiding humanity toward merging with machines, steering us toward a future that benefits them rather than us.<a href="https://podcastufo.com/show-711-notes-danielle-silverman/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">SHOW NOTES</a>
