| ================== | |
| Opening Remarks | |
| --------------- | |
| Garry Nolan was at an AI/cancer conference on an island with Richard Branson who asked him about UAP. | |
| Beatriz Villarroel | |
| ------------------ | |
| 200-300 billion stars in the Milky Way | |
| ~9-40 billion Earth-like planets | |
| building blocks of life found on meteorites and asteroids | |
| DMS (DiMethylSulfide) found on K2-18b | |
| leopard spots on Mars | |
| Astronomers have seen UAPs for hundreds of years | |
| looking for radio signals | |
| looking for laser signals | |
| a civilization might send probes (Bracewell) | |
| some methods to look for ET probes: | |
| - pre-Sputnik images | |
| - Earth's shadow | |
| - space-born telescopes | |
| - debris by colour | |
| Reflections from non-human objects | |
| flat, highly reflective object can give a very brief flash - a "transient" in a long-exposure | |
| multiple transients | |
| triplets | |
| transients in a line (4+) | |
| Palomar Survey (1950s) vs Pan-STARRS (2015s) | |
| The VASCO project | |
| automated & citizen science searches for transients | |
| 19th of July, 1952 (DC flyover) - triple | |
| Do we see signatures of probes in the data? Yes, we see lines and clusters | |
| Steve Bruehl, Vanderbilt University | |
| VASCO, UFOCAT, nukes | |
| +68% transients after nuke tests | |
| +8.5% transients per UFO sighting | |
| combined - 2x as many as control days | |
| Transients caused by solar reflections? | |
| See if plate defects or not by seeing if transients decrease in Earth's shadow - they do! strong sigma | |
| about 1/3 of transients are consistent with solar reflections | |
| We must search for NHI artifacts - Baltic Sea Anomaly | |
| Dennis Asberg - groups collaborate including SUAPS (Society for UAP Studies) | |
| Urgent Questions: | |
| What are those objects that reflect sunlight? | |
| (didn't get the rest of the questions, final slide went quick) | |

| Q&A for Villarroel and Nell: | |
| ---------------------------- | |
| Q: (Nell) | |
| Is Disclosure dead? | |
| A: Said that more as a thought experiment: should we reflect and change tactics since Grusch, hearings, have had diminishing returns, approaching an asymptote of effectiveness, UAPDA failing earlier & earlier | |
| Q: (Beatriz) | |
| Transient Lunar phenomena? | |
| A: Not yet. | |
| Q: (Beatriz) | |
| Spectroscopy? | |
| A: Plates don't have that data, need to look into it though. | |
| Q: (Nell) | |
| Mystery airships? | |
| A: People less open to NHI in 20th century because of disinfo campaign. | |
| Q: (Beatriz) | |
| Spectral (Spectroscopy) plates? (Palomar) | |
| A: No, just photometry. | |
| Q: (Nell) | |
| Why no UAPDA? | |
| A: Different camps, unreasonable person standard, gets shut down, don't believe in it, right away won't vote for it. | |
| (Beatriz adds this happens with scientists too.) | |
| Q: (Nell) | |
| How to unlearn? | |
| A: Power structures throughout time have all been non-disclosure. | |
| Q: (Beatriz) | |
| Radiation on plates. | |
| A: Deficit in Earth's shadow doesn't fit that explanation. | |
| Q: (Beatriz) | |
| Altitude, heat, trajectory of transients? | |
| A: Altitude dependence, where transients are the largest, hard with just one point of data, just preliminary analysis, need to do better. | |
| Q: (Nell) | |
| 2001 Steven Greer Disclosure Project, how to do today? | |
| A: 6 reasons for nondisclosure (1st Sol talk), Hilbert Problems, need to enhance the serious conversation, professional dialogue. | |

| General Pierre Bescond | |
| ---------------------- | |
| Revisiting the COMETA report | |
| interested in UAP in his late 20s early 30s reading books | |
| learned about GEIPAN in his professional capacity | |
| GEIPAN created in 1977 | |
| study group in mid-1990s led to COMETA report | |
| member of 3AF/SIGMA2 | |
| GEIPAN translates roughly to "Study Group for UAPs" | |
| Only works on cases reported to the French local police | |
| COMETA roughly translates to "High-Level Study" | |
| mostly engineers at French Space Agency | |
| member of the Institute for Defense Studies | |
| one of his deputies, an engineer, saw something over the Sahara | |
| saw a real vehicle, was seen by someone else as well | |
| there were people in the French Space Agency who were interested behind the scenes | |
| 5 key cases: | |
| 1. 1994 - French pilots, visual and RADAR case, however no altitude data | |
| 2. 1974 - Tehran Incident | |
| 3. Vehicle, engine, hovering above the woods, took off without noise (see video for year) | |
| 4. 1965 - Valensole | |
| 5. 1947 - Roswell | |
| "Can't rule the ET hypothesis out" | |
| 1990s study group started by French General and pilot | |
| 10-12 people in committee | |
| wanted to update the information on UAPs, get the information out | |
| that this was something that exists, wanted the government to be prepared in case something unexplained happened, tried to convince them to get prepared but were unsuccessful - never managed to get the attention of the French government, but did get worldwide recognition | |
| COMETA report is out of date and needs an update, maybe Sol can make the next one | |
| COMETA affirmed the extraterrestrial hypothesis after evaluating a number of hypotheses | |
| French Army was tight-lipped about UAPs | |
| report wanted to be cautious but convincing | |
| Of all the hypotheses, only the ET hypothesis can account for all the observations. | |
| Touches on Inter-dimensional Hypothesis | |
| If they had known of it when they wrote the report, they may have pushed it more strongly. | |
| Asked about reverse engineering in the United States | |
| Tried to collaborate with US and answer was totally negative. | |
| It's secret and they won't talk about it. | |
| It's not governments that will solve the problem, but organizations like Sol. | |
| Asked if French Intelligence has secret UFO program/study - was told no. It could be secret. | |
| Peter Skafish | |
| ------------- | |
| The start of the 21st century could be marked not by Trump, COVID, but the 2017 New York Times article. | |
| "The Others" | |
| Social, Ontological, and Political problems of the UAP presence | |
| Human beings, symbolic frameworks that give them meaning | |
| Relationship of us to UFOs is not subject-object but actually subject-subject(s) | |
| Vehicles have doors, windows, landing gear, to be used by occupants | |
| Richard Haines Korean War Incident, unit bombarded with radiation after firing on UFO | |
| Tehran - Instinct for self-preservation | |
| David Grusch said he wanted to provoke ontological shock in others. | |
| Term ("ontological shock") comes from John Mack | |
| Ontology in Western thought is a series of philosophical failures. | |
| "nuts & bolts" | |
| Physical matter vs consciousness | |
| reductionist dualism. | |
| matter & mind | |
| Need a pluralistic approach. | |
| UAP tell us how we think about reality, but it also tells us something about them, the occupants. | |
| How do they see reality? | |
| Are they like us? Biologically, socially, politically, consciousness? | |
| We don't know if there is some kind of threat posed by UAP | |
| Time scale for occupants may be much longer than when we want Disclosure to happen. | |
| Existential threat requires a species-level international effort. | |
| Technological asymmetry poses potential danger to humans. | |
| We need to have an open public dialogue with experiencers. | |

| Christian Peters | |
| ---------------- | |
| Political theorist | |
| 2 papers in 2026 (will share via email) | |
| Social Sciences in UAP studies | |
| Hard vs. Soft Sciences | |
| not just natural history | |
| The phenomenon operates across multiple dimensions, clear and unclear, subjective and objective (especially with experiences) | |
| Fro Physics to Politics | |
| Experience demands meaning | |
| Meaning demands politics | |
| Politics shape experience | |
| Critical Questions: | |
| - Who gets to define what's real? | |
| - Whose knowledge counts? | |
| - How do we govern when citizens' experienced reality contradicts official narratives? | |
| politics = power | |
| UAP - 2 dimensions of a sovereignty crisis | |
| - "traditional" (political) sovereignty crisis | |
| - epistemological crisis | |
| Alexander Wendt 2008 - "Sovereignty and the UFO" | |
| Political realism is not cynicism nor fatalism | |
| Central claim (2): | |
| - "Disclosure" is not binary but multidimensional - shaped by what, by whom, to whom, under what conditions | |
| - In democracies, this collides with structural tension between public's claim to know and state's sovereign claim to control. | |
| Right to know at odds with sovereignty of the state. | |
| Differentiating Disclosure - | |
| (1) What is disclosed? | |
| A: Observational data (Nimitz video) | |
| B: Physical Materials (crash retrievals) | |
| C: Documentary Evidence (whistleblower) | |
| D: Communication (mass sighting) | |
| B takes material out of the agora and into Area 51. | |
| (2) Who discloses? | |
| Executive - highest power | |
| Legislative - formal authority | |
| Whistleblowers - high risk | |
| Scientists - high legitimacy (but low power) | |
| Wanting absolute freedom and absolute security are at odds with each other. | |
| (Power over information vs. interest in Disclosure) | |
| Actors with high power might have interests aligned against disclosure. | |
| Fabio de Masi | |
| ------------- | |
| Member of EU Parliament | |
| - How did you get interested? | |
| Advisors said if you want to end your marriage and your political career then talk about UAP. | |
| Fundamental questions from when a child looks up at the sky, and saw David Grusch at U.S. Congress. | |
| Tries to maintain, as a politician, his childlike curiosity. | |
| In context of EU drones, draws an analogy to nuclear deescalation, lines of communication also necessary when it comes to UAP. | |
| We try to prevent these types of misunderstandings with something like a red telephone. | |
| Malmstrom during the Cold War may have been seen as an escalation. | |
| IFEX at University of Wurzburg. | |
| Was not elected by the Military-Industrial Complex, was elected by the citizens of the EU, serves the people's interests in knowledge and transparency. | |
| There's an information war also going on. | |
| Russia, Ukraine, China, UAP | |
| European interests in figuring out what is going on with the drones, shouldn't rely on US sharing data on UAP, though of course it is helpful. | |
| According to international law, space (e.g. asteroids, moon rocks) may be utilized to benefit humanity, but may not be monopolized by one particular state. | |
| Should benefit people in Mali, Burkina Faso as well. | |
| Wants EU Parliament to start holding witness hearings like the U.S. | |
| Skafish: EU is ahead in some ways, like the University of Wurzburg and Beatriz Villarroel out of Sweden, some academics are allowed. | |
| What would the benefits be to the US Disclosing, from our allies in Europe? help on drones? | |
| US and EU Parliament collaborating on Disclosure would allow for more controlled disclosure rather than bits and pieces coming out and being used in information warfare. | |
| Hopes to make something happen in the European Parliament. Hopes EU Parliament colleagues will come forward. US Congresspeople joining him would help. | |
| Q&A: Christian Peters has been hoping for a UAP Snowden who brings forth data as well. | |
| Fabio: Look what they did to Assange. EU Parliament could do an inquiry into hybrid Russian attacks and along the way find some UAP. | |

| Is there a way to situate UAP within SETI? | |
| Let's imagine a spacecraft is traveling from Proxima Centauri to Earth. | |
| Would it be classified as an Inter-Stellar Object (ISO) | |

| Pioneer, Voyager, have left the solar system | |
| Breakthrough Starshot | |
| John Hopkins - Interstellar Probe | |
| Search #1: Radio Observations of Omuamua | |
| If the spacecraft is observed on or near the lunar surface, it will be classified as a Non-Terrestrial Artifact (NTA) | |
| Search #2: Image analysis of lunar surface. | |
| Search #3: Earth-Moon Lagrangian points | |
| Search #4: Transients in Photographic Plates | |
| That's a literature review of the extent of intra-solar system searches for technosignatures. | |
| If the spacecraft is observed as it enters Earth's atmosphere, then it will be classified as a UFO. | |

| What could "Earth-visiting-Earth" look like for technosignatures/UAP? | |
| Destigmitization of UAP is a win-win for SETI. | |
| Q: Fermi paradox? | |
| A: Tippler said what if they are here in a paper, and Fermi never published a paper. | |
| Q: 3I/atlas? | |
| A: Probably a weird comet, some weird things about it, no problem with considering it might be technology, should consider future objects as well. We've only seen 3 interstellar objects, we don't know the rates of rocks vs. technology | |
| Q: State level actors interfering with satellite downlink? | |
| A: Not concerned with that for space-based telescopes, but military did say e.g. for Vera Rubin that some data may be redacted and returned. | |
| Q: Broad range technosignature survey? | |
| A: Project Cyclops, Allen Telescope | |
| Q: 60 years of SETI data - where is it? | |
| A: No data is classified, but we went from a water glass to a hot tub of the ocean in terms of what we've searched with Breakthrough Listen - they have petabytes of free data waiting to be analyzed. | |

| A: See if it's helpful, if it works, very pragmatic. Working with Chris Bledsoe, Hal Puthoff (Remote Viewing) | |
| Q: Innovation speed vs. academia peer-review | |
| A: Doesn't see it as an either or, but in business publication isn't required. Let models compete & interplay. Things that are disruptive don't get through peer-review. | |

| David Grusch kicked in the door, and behind that door was Dylan Borland, Matthew Brown, and many others unnamed. | |
| These unknown whistleblowers have lost their livelihood, they have a network, and they know Dylan Borland. | |
| Their lives were in danger, and their plan was to use Dylan as a dead man's switch. | |
| Dylan is the most reluctant whistleblower. | |
| Catastrophic Disclosure via Dylan was the plan. | |
| "They have touched the legacy program." | |
| Vandenberg 2003-2005 | |
| One incident involved an actual landing that lasted 30 seconds. | |
| There was no stigma before that incident, but afterward the cover-up began. | |
| Discouraged from calling it in, but people would still tell Jeff. | |
| One person was Phoenix, he and Jeff saw a 20-30ft bright sphere come down over Jeff's yard for 30 seconds then go back up into the sky. | |
| Jeff reported it. | |
| His motivation for coming out is to give a voice to witnesses. | |
| Let people speak the truth. | |
| Jeff's experience was positive because he was with friends when they saw the sphere, so they could call each other. | |
| But, not every witness has that. | |
| They first have to integrate their experience by themselves, and second they get retaliated against at work. | |
| You notice it, but then it notices you. | |
| That's not a machine, that's conscious. | |

| Can't even get a job at Home Depot. | |
| They need money. | |
| They need experts in multiple domains. | |
| They also need good vibes & energy. | |
| This could be the one unifying thing. | |
| We need some kind of reset. | |
| One issue: Do you support whistleblowers and Disclosure? | |
| We need to take back control of our own government. | |
| This is a battle for attention. | |
| Get people's eyeballs on the topic. | |
| Q&A: | |
| Q: What was the biggest trauma? | |
| A: Had to reevaluate all his beliefs. Had a kind of atheistic point of view and it put him on a lifelong journey of soul searching. Sighting itself was exhilarating. Trauma came later, seeing what happened to the guys like his friend Chaz who took it hard, what the military did to them. | |
| Q: Karl Nell said we need to devote ourselves to our faith traditions. What led you back? | |
| A: It wasn't an immediate return. He's always been interested in mythology and world religions and which one is right. He came to think they're all right. The answer is to look up into the sky. | |
| Q: Who or what is supporting you as a person dealing with this stress/ontology? | |
| A: My family. We want to do short 3-day retreats with whistleblowers. They need friendship and companionship. They heal together. Trust & friendship. |
