Unravelling the 2024 UAP Hearing that included witness testimony from Luis Elizondo, Tim Gallaudet, Michael Shellenberger, and Michael Gold. Discussing the alarming claims made both within that hearing and in Lue Elizondo's book 'Imminent: Inside the Pentagon's Hunt for UFOs'. And digging into the incredible IMMACULATE CONSTELLATION report all about UFOs. This is my fourth interview with RALPH BLUMENTHAL, an award-winning reporter for The New York Times from 1964 to 2009, where he still contributes articles predominantly focused on UAP & UFOs.
