Legendary UFO researcher Jacques Vallée discusses the release of Forbidden Science Volume 7: The Final Report and why he is shifting into a support role for a new generation of researchers. He argues that 'disclosure' will not look like what the public expects, and that civilian field cases with physical traces are often richer than military footage. He also shares his theory that crashes like the 1945 Trinity case may have been deliberate 'gifts', and explains the isotope analysis of anomalous materials he gave to Stanford's Garry Nolan.

Hosts Ryan Sprague and Suzanne Landers launch a new series reading first-hand UFO encounter stories posted to Reddit, covering four accounts ranging from silent black craft to visible alien occupants. The stories include orbs in New Jersey woods, humanoid beings seen through a window in a hovering triangle over England, a bell-shaped craft followed by apparent rapid aging, and a neon saucer sighting that led to missing time and recurring sleep paralysis. Along the way, Landers previews her research into the 1964 La Madera, New Mexico landing case, which occurred the same day as the famous Socorro incident.
