You took a couple trips to Russia, and it was during Glasnost and Perestroika, and there was an openness, and you got in contact with the leads, the heads of the UFO programs out there, but also people that were heads of strategic air defense and very serious Soviet Union military individuals who opened up to you
This is Weaponized.
It's great, man.
Doing a lot of other work rather than UAP, but man, I'm really excited today to talk with you about what we're talking about and hopefully show people something they haven't seen before as well.
Let me back up a little bit just for our audience, which is that back in the early 90s, you took a couple of trips to Russia and it was during glasnost and perestroika.
And there was an openness and you got in contact with the leads, the heads of the UFO programs out there, but also people that were heads of like strategic air defense and very serious Soviet Union programs.
military individuals who opened up to you because they didn't fear death and murder at the time about UFOs and very famously you smuggled back classified Russian documents about the UFO program how they were dealing with the UFO thing and something you said to me many times you and me having a beer in your kitchen over the last decade or so you're like man these documents taught us more I
about our American UFO exploitation reverse engineering programs than we even knew by reading the Russian or Soviet Union documents.
So for our audience to kind of just understand that, that was one thing that you did in your journalism career.
And you also did, many people in the intelligence agency have said to me, you did a solid for America.
you pass those on to the intelligence agencies to basically look at and translate and try to figure out what's going on.
And what's inside those documents is astonishing, like what we learned about what Russia thinks about UFOs and how they created defenses against the UFOs, like not shooting them down because of their capabilities.
So that's the background to this.
Now, the other part of the background is,
is that when you were asked to testify in front of Congress, one of the things you testified to was this trip to Russia, what you brought back, and what's in the documents.
Now, you gave a butt-ton of these documents to Congress, but yeah, there's so much in there, it's hard to wrap your head around.
They never ended up publishing those.
That was kind of what you put in that you would publish after.
They didn't do it.
I think it's just too much.
