They argue that multiple insiders, including Jay Stratton in his new book, corroborate the deal and that Kirkpatrick should be called before Congress under oath to back up his own allegations. The hosts also discuss newly released AATIP files on the Tic Tac incident and Skinwalker Ranch, including a 'monster map' of creature sightings, and defend David Grusch's claim that he viewed crash-retrieval footage in an official capacity.

Need to Know (Coulthart/Zabel)Oct 19, 2026

Richard Dolan and Bryce Zabel review Jay Stratton's new book Out of the Shadows, which Dolan calls the most valuable insider account of the modern UFO disclosure effort.

Kirkpatrick called it nonsense and hit back, accusing Stratton and his 'band of pseudoscientists' of violating national security law. The conversation also covers Trump's stance on disclosure, the Jim Ryder lead in Stratton's book, John Herrington's shifting account of the Brent Friedman story, and the surprising overlap between UFOs and psychic research.

WeaponizedSep 18, 2026

George Knapp and Jeremy Corbell dig into the Department of War's new PURSUE waiver, which supposedly creates a protected lane for UFO whistleblowers bound by NDAs. They sent 20 formal questions about who runs PURSUE and what protections it offers, and the only reply was a referral to the White House. The hosts argue the real threats facing whistleblowers are intimidation and break-ins, not NDA prosecution, and they suggest the deeper mystery lies with experiencers rather than hardware.
