Host George Knapp
Guests Richard Dolan, John Hanson
In the first half, Richard Dolan joined George Knapp to discuss UFO disclosure in the Trump era, as well as different views of the secret space program. Dolan had just been on a panel with several controversial "whistleblowers" at the MUFON conference in Las Vegas, including Corey Goode [ ?...see Bill Ryan's recent exposes on this guy...ed.], and Andrew Basiago [also ?...ed.]. He finds their claims of being participants in a secret space program that included time travel and trips to Mars hard to believe just on their words alone, without them presenting more solid evidence (more on this here). Yet, Dolan has concluded that a clandestine space program has likely reverse engineered technology from crashed UFOs. NORAD has been aware for some time of anomalous objects in our skies, which would prompt the need for a secret space program, he added.
The national security state is a kind of "oligarchy" as the keepers of UFO secrecy, he opined. UFO crash retrievals and military encounters with unknown craft have created a system of complete secrecy and the need to control it, he explained, and countries like the US might not want to let their enemies learn about the recovered technology. While Pres. Donald Trump has shown an oppositional attitude to the establishment which might make him more likely to engage in UFO disclosure, it may be the case that the Deep State and CIA have already "checkmated" him around this issue, Dolan conjectured. Steve, a pilot for a major airline, called in to share his close call with a silver wingless UFO in 2015 while he was flying over Fargo, ND.
John Hanson is a UK retired police officer who has spent over 20 years researching the UFO subject, and has released a series of books called "Haunted Skies." In the latter half, he discussed the UFO cases he's investigated in such locations as Essex, Bentwaters, and Wiltshire. His interest in the subject began when Hanson's son, also a police officer, had a UFO sighting in the 1990s. The late Essex UFO researcher Ron West turned over his files and personal witness reports to Hanson, dealing with cases from the 1980s and 90s. Interestingly, they include many descriptions of triangular objects quite similar to the wave of sightings over Belgium and Europe at the end of 80s.
Hanson detailed two 1954 cases, one involving an RAF pilot who saw three unidentified lighted objects flying in formation, and a Staffordshire sighting in which a woman saw a craft with mysterious occupants that looked like "Nordics." Bizarre phenomena has been connected with UFO witnesses-- one family all had triangular marks on their limbs, he noted. Another witness, a woman who'd had encounters going back to the 1950s, ejected a small mysterious object from her nasal cavity. Shaped like a hook or needle, and made of hydrocarbon, a professor from Manchester University found it baffling, Hanson reported. He also touched on crop circle cases related to UFO sightings, in the Wiltshire area.

############################################################################
This is a decently-budgeted film that illustrates a realistic vision for going to Mars and for creating a self-sufficient colony there within 15 years or less that appears a lot easier than one may think. These plans have been produced in large part due to the passion and the chutzpah of Mars Society President, Dr. Robert Zubrin.
With contemporary interviews, stock footage and excellent computer animation, the film takes us on a journey to a future Mars teeming with life and terraformed into a blue world.
It’s been described as “A must-see experience for anyone concerned for our global future and the triumph of the human spirit.” -

Part 1:
SECRET SPACE PROGRAM SPOOKS: WHISTLEBLOWER #FAIL! DARK JOURNALIST + BILL RYAN
Published on 7 May 2017
Project Avalon’s Bill Ryan Speaks Out on Corey Goode
Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt welcomes Project Avalon’s Bill Ryan to the show. Ryan first hit the spotlight a decade ago with his efforts at seeking out Secret Space Program whistleblowers and having them deliver riveting information live on video along with his research partner Kerry Cassidy on the early alternative series called Project Camelot. Eventually Ryan split with Cassidy and developed his own forum of research called Project Avalon which tackles deep subject matter with an informed community.
The Truth is Never Easy
In this special episode, Ryan will go on the record about the details of his viral article called ‘The Truth About Corey Goode’ that is gaining rapid attention and attempts to explain and in some sense unmask the bizarre story of Corey Goode. Ryan had his own interactions with Goode before he went public and believes that his story is unreliable.
Secret Space Circus 2017: The New Normal
Many fact based revelations came out in the last decade about the development of a Secret Space Program including UK Hacker Gary McKinnon discovering an “Off-world Officers List” while reading classified files at NASA, for which the US Government attempted to extradite and charge him with espionage. Other analysts came forward with remarkable disclosures about missing Government funds and the outline of a completely hidden agenda.
In tandem with this fascinating investigative reporting effort, a sideshow also developed with all kinds of discrediting themes, like fantasy beings and galactic ambassadors and space saviors to boot. A lot of this activity has centered around Corey Goode from Texas who claims to be a veteran insider of secret unacknowledged programs involving the military and space, but has offered zero evidence for this incredible assertion. In fact, Goode has no military record except a brief stint in the Texas State Guard, not exactly known as a hotbed of deep intelligence activity.
Ryan has attempted to have Goode take a Lie-Detector test to prove some of his wild assertions or to have him regressed to find out if his memories are real, implanted or fabricated. Goode has rejected the suggestion saying that hypnotic regression is ‘invasive.’ Without these evidentiary methods being employed to verify his memories and with no evidence being presented to support his story, Goode’s account of being in a secret program appears to be falling apart.
Missing Trillions: The Original Secret Space Research Mandate
The original Secret Space Program Conferences organized by Global BEM, including one held in Austin Texas in 2015 and hosted by Dark Journalist Daniel Liszt, featured Former Assistant HUD Secretary Catherine Austin Fitts and Giza Death Star’s Joseph Farrell, and brought forward verifiable evidence along with informed speculation from many experts and scientists and former Government officials. The event raised the spectre of a covert effort that was draining trillions of dollars from the US budget and siphoning them into a Complex Space Endeavor for private interests.
The Secret Space Program investigation took a turn for the bizarre after Gaia TV aired the Goode story even though he was completely unvetted by any journalistic standard and had absolutely no evidence to back up his assertions. It was pumped into the alt-research community by a series of TV episodes they developed for their select audience featuring Interviews with Goode by host David WIlcock.
Goode’s Story
Goode claims to be an insider of various secret programs and a spokesman relaying spiritual messages from a group of alien beings. He has even developed a Comic Book Series of his ET communications with what he calls ‘a Sphere Being Alliance.’ Goode’s story not only sounded like a Sci-Fi fantasy adventure, it also created a new version of a cult- like alien called a 'Blue Avian' with blue skin and feathers.
Goode’s story largely incorporated elements of many Alternative Media themes like fighting the Illuminati, Cabal tribunals, Mandela effect, Breakaway Civilization and Babylonian Magic. Respected authors like Joseph Farrell and Richard Dolan were shocked to see their research shabbily recycled in a sensationalist and histrionic fashion.
With all of this in mind, the question becomes: are those driving this bizarre, unverified, unvetted story about Goode being some kind of an insider in a covert program part of an effort to deflect attention away from the genuine research process underway to find where the missing trillions went that were pumped into the Secret Space Program? Ryan wonders whether all of this hyperbole being presented with no corroborating evidence is a concerted activity meant to replace legitimate inquiry with Sci-Fi adventure tales mixed with faux New Age psychobabble.

Transcription 1st ACT:
ASTRONAUT:
Accessing disconnect. Enable on. Copy that E.L. Com. All systems are go for entry, decent, and landing. Stand by. Stand by.
ASTRONAUT:
We are looking fine, flight. Data is good.
NARRATOR:
At the dawn of the 21st Century, space agencies in Europe and
America began making plans to land the first humans on Mars.
But manned missions to the red planet have been proposed before.
For some, Mars holds the answers to mankind’s future in space.
Others say Mars is too far, too dangerous and too expensive for
humans to explore.
And in a world torn by troubles, some say there is no need or will
for mankind to reach into space anymore.
More than 30 years after the last Apollo astronaut walked on the
moon, the American-manned space program seems to have lost its
way, unable to reach beyond even low-earth orbit.
DR. ROBERT ZUBRIN:
We’ve got a problem, NASA has been literally going around in
circles with the space program for the past 30 years.
NARRATOR:
Astronautically engineer, Dr. Robert Zubrin, has been arguing for
years that sending humans to Mars is the mission the space
program needs.
ZUBRIN:
It’s time that we set goals for NASA that were worthy of the risks
of the human space flight. Mars is the next logical step in our space
program image. It’s the challenge that’s been staring us in the face
for the past 30 years. It’s the planet that’s most like the earth, it’s
the planet that has on it the resources needed to support life and
therefore some day technological civilization. It’s the planet that
will provide us with the answer as to whether life is prevalent in
the universe or exclusive to the earth.
And it’s the planet that will give us the critical tests as to whether
humanity, can breakout out of the planet of our birth and become a
space-faring species.
NARRATOR:
In the early 1990s, Zubrin was the head of the Mars Direct
program at Martin Marietta Astronautics. His team developed a
mission to Mars that could be done at the fraction of Nasa’s
projected costs.
Using only existing technology Zubrin argues that the first steps on
Martian soil could be made within 10 years.
ZUBRIN:
There is absolutely nothing in this that is beyond our technology.
DR. EDWARD WEILER:
We are not ready to send humans to Mars right now. We don’t
know how to keep them alive. There are people out there who say
we can go to Mars tomorrow. One of my requirements, one of
NASA’s requirements is that if we send humans to Mars we bring
them back alive.
NARRATOR:
For the past 15-years Zubrin and his colleagues have waged a
campaign to convince society and the political class that humans
on Mars should be the goal for NASA now.
This is the story of our cold neighboring planet and the debate over
whether man’s fate it tied to the red world. It’s the story of an
engineer’s journey - and the battle of ideas over which direction in
space will truly benefit mankind.
ZUBRIN:
We’re at a crossroads today. We either muster the courage to go or
we risk the possibility of stagnation and decay.http://www.radiusproductions.com
