Aliens.gov and Commemorative Coins

An Air Force general associated with UFOs has gone missing along with multiple NASA-linked scientists. Trump’s post that he will release the UAP files led to Rep. Luna requesting a list of specific videos from the Pentagon. Michael Ian Black says he was told about a massive object entering our solar system. Plus, the White House registered the aliens.gov domain, and are rumored to be making UFO disclosure commemorative coins.

The drones are back at Barksdale Air Force Base in Louisiana, Vice President JD Vance thinks UFOs are demons, multiple scientists have published new papers replicating Dr Beatriz Villarroel’s studies showing there were artificial objects in orbit before Sputnik, and those are just the stories we don’t have time to discuss today.

Gen. McCasland Missing

CNN: “A high-ranking retired US Air Force major general who once commanded a base long associated with UFO lore has been missing for nearly two weeks… Retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland, 68, left his Albuquerque home on foot at approximately 11 a.m. February 27 and has not been in contact with family or friends since… His phone, prescription glasses and wearable devices were left behind at the house, and investigators believe his… wallet and a .38-caliber revolver with a leather holster are missing.”
Liberation Times: “He was a former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory at Wright-Patterson, whose career placed him at the centre of some of the Pentagon’s most advanced aerospace research. After his military career ended, he became involved with Blink-182 rocker Tom DeLonge and his UFO-related efforts, which helped lay the groundwork for the modern congressional push for disclosure on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena, or UAP.”
TWZ: “We know from the [wikileaks] Podesta emails that in 2016 Tom openly discussed in correspondence about being in direct contact with Rob Weiss, the head of the Skunk Works. Calendar invites for a virtual meeting from Podesta’s emails include participants Tom DeLonge, Rob Weiss, and retired Air Force General William N. McCasland. ‘The General’ will prove to be a central figure in Tom’s story… Originally, Tom kept the general’s identity somewhat hidden, but that has since changed.”
Tom Delonge, in an interview with George Knapp: “[The general] leans across the table and these are the very first words [he] said to me. ‘It was the Cold War, and every single day we lived under the threat of nuclear war… and somewhere in those years… We found a life form. And everything that we did and every decision that we made with that life form was because of the consciousness at that time.’”
Tom Delonge: “He was in charge of all of the stuff. When Roswell crashed, they shipped it to the laboratory at Wright Patterson Air Force Base. General McCasland was in charge of that exact laboratory up to a couple years ago.”
McCasland’s wife, Susan: “After the Russians hacked John Podesta's emails… there was less contact with Tom and the community pushing for release of UFO information. This connection is not a reason for someone to abduct Neil. Neil does not have any special knowledge about the ET bodies and debris from the Roswell crash stored at Wright-Patt.”
Rep Tim Burchett: “I’ve been told by several sources that he was the gatekeeper for the UFO stuff… This is a very small fraternity. When something happens to one, the others take note. I was briefed this past week, and I’ll just say that group is very nervous.”
Former AATIP Director Lue Elizondo: “I hope and pray this is not one of those cases where a former senior military officer was specifically targeted and that he will be found happy and healthy.”
Rep Eric Burlison (responding to news): “I am not suicidal.”
Rep Tim Burchett: "For the record, I'm not suicidal, and I don’t take risks."
Scott: The short version is that something like nine scientists connected to NASA and the Air Force have died, been killed, or gone missing in the last couple years. They’re all at least loosely connected, and in several cases, are connected to Gen McCasland. There’s details in the show notes, but the short version is that I don’t find this very compelling. It’s like one of those conspiracy theory boards with red string linking a bunch of photos.

Trump Disclosure Order

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth: “I did not have that on my Bingo card, at all… We've got our people working on it right now… We're digging in and we're gonna be in full compliance with that Executive Order, eager to provide that for the President. So, there'll be more coming on that as far as the process of what we'll do… I don't have a timeframe for you yet but stand by.”
- Journalist Christopher Sharp: “I asked the Department of War to confirm whether President Trump has issued them with any recent Executive Orders relating to UFOs/UAP. They could not confirm or deny. Instead, they referred me to the White House.”
Filmmaker Jeremy Corbell: “Right now… there is a discussion at the Pentagon and the White House from people who work with messaging, and they’re debating if radical honesty has to be the foundation of [what they’re] figuring out how to say.”
Rep. Tim Burchett: “I'm a Christian, and they appealed to me on that level. 'Burchett, this stuff's kind of anti-Christian, you know, and your beliefs.' I said, 'No, it isn't. Genesis I. God created the heavens and the Earth.'”
Rep. Luna: “As soon as we get the official on paper declassification order, I want to do a press conference with all the information that we are told and shown in that [FBI] briefing because it’s important for people to know… Every single member of Congress that has gone into that briefing that we had has come out and said, 'Holy shit!'…You’re definitely going to see a lot of interesting footage, a lot of photos, firsthand accounts from certain people that will be out in those reports… I think you’re going to get a lot of cool stuff, but I don’t think that there’s going to ever be the full admission… They’ll release it, but they’re not going to tell you what to make of it.”
Rep. Burchett: “President says he’s going to put it out, so — he hasn’t lied to me yet… I hope it’s going to happen. I hope they don’t get to him and make him pull back. That’s what’s happened in the past. That’s what’s happened with every report that they’ve had. They said they’re going to bring it out and then they don’t… I talked to the president about it. I hope we get an answer.”
Rep. Luna letter to Sec Hegseth: “The [Federal Secrets Task Force] is continuing its investigation in UAP. The continued lack of transparency surrounding these anomalies and the potential national security threat they post is troubling. Whistleblowers informed the Task Force that AARO possesses additional video records of potential UAP sightings. To continue its investigation, the Task Force requests certain video files related to UAP sightings. The lack of disclosure regarding the very real threat posed by UAPs in and around U.S. restricted airspace is concerning. The Task Force has found responses from AARO, when questioned about UAP sightings and provided data, less than adequate. The presence of UAPs in and around the sensitive airspaces of U.S. military installations poses a threat to the security of the armed forces and their readiness. To assist the Task Force in its investigation of UAPs we request the following videos be delivered as soon as possible but no later than April 14, 2026.”
- A few examples of videos:
- “4 UAP formation, Iran, 8/26/22”
- “Syrian UAP instant acceleration, 2021”
- “Cigar-shaped or fat spherical UAP, 10/15/22”
- “Spherical UAP over AFG in and out of clouds, 11/23/20”
- “Several UAP in vicinity of Columbus OH airport”
- “USAF ANG F-16C (callsign AESIR11) shoots down UAP over Lake Huron with Aim-
- 9X, 2/12/23”

Michael Ian Black’s 2027 Story

Actor Michael Ian Black: “A couple of years ago I was invited into a small group chat with a couple folks in regular contact with a prominent figure in Ufology. I don’t want to reveal the person’s name because I don’t want to betray any trusts, so you’ll have to take me at my word. In that chat, which occurred over about 18 months, I was fed information which explicitly stated that a massive object is entering our solar system.”
“The object was first spotted several years ago by the European Space Agency and was subsequently confirmed by our own. In terms of size, it was described to me as ‘planet-sized,’ which set off a massive red flag in my own brain, as a planet-sized object would surely have gravitational effects on our own planets, no?”
“Next, I was told this object was decelerating as it approached our solar system. I was told it would arrive in 2027. This is significant because the date ‘2027’ has been floating around Ufology for some time as an important year by mysterious sources…”
“Finally, I was shown a photograph of the object, which had been, apparently, taken from a ground-based observatory somewhere in the US. What I saw looked like gray and fuzzy. It could have been anything. I would republish the photograph here but I believe the person who originally posted it to our chat removed it because of that person’s belief in the sensitivity of the image.”
“To be clear, while I find this story fascinating, I don’t find it credible. People way more prominent in the UFO community than myself… such as the filmmaker Jeremy Corbell, says that the narrative about a 2027 object is some kind of psyop by our government. In a video released months ago, [Corbell] said: ‘Okay. So UFOs are real, and they’ve been here a long time, and that’s the truth. But the lie is coming. All indications, like ALL of them, is that that lie is going to be that there is a craft slowly making its way to us here on Earth. And that is the lie they’re gonna want you to believe.’”
“I don’t know who’s telling the truth about this, but I’m going to apply Occam’s Razor here and say it’s far more likely that somebody wants to convince people about an imminent alien incursion than there actually being an alien incursion… I would also point out that there’s NO REASON IN THE WORLD why somebody like me… should have been given this information if it were true. In fact, I’m the LAST person you should give that information to because I’m very likely to blab it out like I’m doing right now. In other words, I’m a perfect useful idiot.”

Trump Disclosure Speech

Filmmaker Mark Christopher Lee: 3/10 “I’ve been completely misled by disinformation in the UFO disclosure saga. My ‘Washington insider’ source, who fed me details about Trump’s July 8 speech and the May 1 press conference, was likely a plant designed to hype and manipulate the community.”
Lee, 3/12: “I was told [about Trump’s speech] by one source and then by my main source… There’s two sources, and I haven’t been clear about that.”
Lee, 3/12: “The source behind my Trump UFO disclosure speech claims was aerospace billionaire Robert Bigelow.”
- “RB”: “There continues to be considerable pushback from certain elements who control the UFO agenda. Those forces are determined to prevent any form of true disclosure. I have used what influence I possess to advocate for more meaningful transparency, but it has become clear that what will be released will amount to little more than superficial tidbits. Nothing of substance will address the true mystic nature of the phenomena.”
UFO Journalist George Knapp, 3/26: “This is bullshit. I spoke to Robert Bigelow less than 30 minutes ago. He says he has never met, spoken to, or emailed Mr. Lee. Anyone who knows Mr. B is aware he would NEVER share private, sensitive info with some random UFO guy in a foreign country. It is not only false but preposterous.”
Lee, 3/27: “Totally shocked this morning. Why the denial from Bigelow? I know George and he's a fan of my work and I also know he's close to Bigelow. People have been calling me a hoaxer, but if so why would I choose someone like Bigelow - someone that Knapp could easily contact and debunk? Makes no sense.”

Commemorative Coin

Fringe: “[Former marine] Jaime Walden says he received an intelligence briefing that UFO disclosure from Trump is a ‘done deal’ scheduled for as early as May, and the commemorative coin has already been produced.”
Journalist Ross Coulthart: “I can confirm the commemorative coin story. Heard the same thing. It does appear the Administration is planning a (limited) disclosure. But will President Trump admit the full legacy UAP Program?… doubtful.”
Lee: “More confirmation that we will get some form of disclosure soon - possibly May - and I can tell you there will definitely be a speech. I've been busy making a video telling the whole story behind the trump speech and the sources behind it - it will answer all your questions re Bigelow, other source etc.”

Aliens.gov

DefenseScoop: “The White House registered two new government domains this week: alien.gov and aliens.gov, according to publicly available federal records.”
Rep. Burlison: “It could have something to do with illegal aliens. It could be them, like, trolling us”
DefenseScoop: “Shortly after the initial publication of this article, White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly told DefenseScoop in an emailed response to those questions to ‘Stay tuned!’ Her statement included the same alien emoji that Hegseth used on social media when he reposted Trump’s promise last month to publish previously undisclosed records about extraterrestrials and unidentified craft.”
