Dan Farah and Dr. Hal Puthoff — Dan Farah is the producer of the UAP documentary 'The Age of Disclosure,' who interviewed senior US officials including Marco Rubio. Dr. Hal Puthoff is a quantum physicist who worked for the NSA and CIA and ran the Stargate remote-viewing program.
The gist
Steven Bartlett hosts a roundtable on UAPs with documentary maker Dan Farah and physicist Hal Puthoff, days after the Trump administration declassified 400 UAP files. Farah lays out his thesis of an 80-year, multi-nation cover-up of recovered non-human craft and bodies, kept secret to win a reverse-engineering technology race against China and Russia. Puthoff explains the physics that could make interstellar travel possible via warping space-time, and recounts his decades running the CIA's Stargate remote-viewing program. Bartlett pushes back throughout, citing NASA's denials, Elon Musk's skepticism, the unreliability of eyewitnesses, and the absence of clear iPhone footage. Both guests concede much UAP reporting is noise but insist classified physical evidence and credible insiders make the core phenomenon undeniable.
Big reveals
- Farah claims an 80-year cover-up of non-human intelligent life by elements of the US government since the late 1940s.
- Alleges a secret Cold War race with China and Russia to reverse-engineer technology of non-human origin.
- A senior special-forces source told Farah he'd be 'forfeiting my life' if he did an on-camera interview.
- Says Trump's first-term cabinet was briefed by the UAP Task Force on the repercussions of public disclosure.
- The most notable declassified item is a 1972 Apollo image of a triangle-shaped craft hovering over the moon.
- Puthoff reveals the CIA recruited him in the 1970s to investigate remote viewing, growing into the two-decade Stargate program.
- Recounts an experiment where remote viewers predicting silver futures made a backer $260,000 in 30 days.
- Calls UAPs the most bipartisan issue in Washington, with Democrats and Republicans fully aligned.
Things worth remembering
- The DIA's official UAP program AATIP began in 2008 and lost funding by 2010.
- A hidden 'legacy program' has allegedly operated outside congressional and White House oversight since the 1940s.
- People claiming involvement in recoveries say there are at least four distinct types of non-human life.
- UAP activity clusters not just at nuclear weapon sites but at uranium mines and refineries worldwide.
- Intelligence agencies allegedly learned to 'bait' UAPs by concentrating nuclear assets in a small radius.
- The 2004 'Tic Tac' UAP went from hovering over the ocean to 80,000 feet instantly, witnessed by Cdr. David Fravor.
- Pew and YouGov polls cited: 65% of Americans believe intelligent life exists elsewhere; 47% think aliens have visited Earth.
- Stargate trained Army intelligence officers in remote viewing at Fort Meade.
- Remote viewers reportedly located a downed Soviet plane in Africa to within 3 miles, a story Jimmy Carter later recounted.
- Puthoff claims a 'psychic' altered a quantum chip sealed inside superconducting shielding meant to be uninfluenceable.
