[Dan]: There has been an 80-year cover up of the existence of non-human intelligent life covered up by elements of the US government. But this past Friday, the first trunch of evidence was released to the public.

[Hal Puthoff]: And the evidence is absolutely clear that there is some form of life with advanced technology. They're all over the place.

[Dan]: But the people involved in gatekeeping this information don't think the public can handle the truth. People have had their lives threatened. A lot of them are afraid to come forward and tell the White House what they know. And this has been kept from even sitting presidents and I've interviewed highle intelligence officials and government officials and there have been UAP crashes over the years and in some cases the crashed crafts had the bodies of nonhumans in.

[Steven Bartlett]: So what exactly is inside this report? We have so many sightings, even access to materials.

[Dan]: And there's a number of files, reports, video, and still images that were declassified... You're probably familiar with this NASA report. They essentially say that they didn't believe that these UAPs are aliens. Why would NASA be lying? Is there a reason why this stuff hasn't been captured on like an iPhone? Are they currently living amongst us? And then do you trust the Trump administration to release all of the available information? I think eventually we'll get to that moment that we've all only seen in movies where sitting president steps to a microphone and tells the world we're not alone in the universe.

[Steven Bartlett]: Dan, what is your background and as it relates to this subject of UAPs, what is it that you believe that most people don't know or understand?

[Dan]: My interest in this topic comes from my childhood... I always wish someone had made a super serious, credible, sober documentary that only interviews people who have direct knowledge of this topic as a result of working for the US government... I made this movie, The Age of Disclosure, in secrecy over three and a half years... there has in fact been an 80-year cover up of the existence of non-human intelligent life... the people who within the US government that have been gatekeeping this, they've also been involved in a highstakes secret cold war race with adversarial nations like China and Russia to reverse engineer this technology of non-human origin... it led to President Trump issuing this directive in the middle of February.

[Steven Bartlett]: Hal... What is your background and why what reference points are you drawing on to speak on the subject of UAPs and UFOs etc?

[Hal Puthoff]: I'm a quantum physicist worked for the National Security Agency for various uh organizations in the intelligence community like CIA and so on. And so as part of my technical work uh I was also a consultant uh chief science adviser to Robert Bigalow of Bigalow Aerospace... the Defense Intelligence Agency came forward and said, uh you know, we need to find out uh really what's going on in the so-called UAP area.

[Dan]: Simply put, one day, one of his colleagues... shows him a video that Air Force security guards took over a nuclear weapons site. It was a triangle UAP hovering over a nuclear weapon site. this colleague said, "Please tell me this is one of ours... some advanced cutting edge technology that's ours." And he knew instinctively it it was not... turns out there was a deeply hidden program referred to as the legacy program... outside of congressional oversight, outside of the oversight of the White House.

[Hal Puthoff]: These pilots are out there and they suddenly see craft coming out of the ocean and making right angle turns at 6G or whatever... it's way beyond our physics... but turns out if you could engineer those (Einstein's equations) you would actually get the same effects... we don't have the engineering to do it... I 100% believe that non-human intelligent life is here and has been here for a long time... UAP have come over nuclear uh missile sites and actually turned off the missiles.

[Steven Bartlett]: Remote remote viewing. That was that CIA project. What is remote viewing?

[Hal Puthoff]: Remote viewing... CIA suddenly got concerned because they saw that the Soviets were spending millions... to investigate the possible use of quote ESP... I was at Stanford Research Institute... It grew into a two decade program... Stargate... remote viewing, this ability to sit in a location and pick up information from someplace far away, uh, is a talent... A Soviet plane... went down somewhere in Africa... We got two of our best remote viewers... they put an X on the map that was in three miles of where the plane went down... there's an audio recording of President Jimmy Carter telling that story... we set up a little program on a challenge to predict silver futures... made $260,000 in the 30 days... quantum theory and quantum entanglement...

[Hal Puthoff]: The reports from people involved say that a lot of them don't have any control panels in them. Like they're basically empty other than seats, which suggests that maybe there's some sort of mind connection controlling these craft.

[Dan]: I think it will lead to a giant technology boom... revolutionizing the way we live... lead to new energy sources. Solve the energy crisis overnight... it would have a great psychological effect... this is a universe full of life.

[Steven Bartlett]: Trump has released the first round of the UAP reports. Um so I guess in many respects, this conversation is to be continued.
