What is Lt. Colonel Ryan Bodenheimer's background in aviation?
Fiscally responsible, financial geniuses, monetary magicians. These are things people say about drivers who switch their car insurance to Progressive and save hundreds. Because Progressive offers discounts for paying in full, owning a home, and more. Plus, you can count on their great customer service to help when you need it, so your dollar goes a long way. Visit Progressive.com to see if you could save on car insurance. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company and Affiliates. Potential savings will vary. Not available in all states or situations. Fighter squadrons, it's high pressure, high stakes jobs where you got to be dialed in.
They can't, the people around you don't want to think that you're seeing things while you're flying, right? I essentially got into a mini dogfight with the UAP and I'll never forget it.
Normalize people talking about it. You know, these things happen. You're an expert, trained witness, and this is what you saw.
Like this. It's moving like this. So there's nothing aerodynamic about this thing. It reminded me of, like, Mario Brothers. Like, hey, go through here to go to the next level. Like, that's what it seemed like to me.
Do you allow yourself to speculate what all these things are, where they're from? This is Weaponized.
This is Weaponized. I'm George Knapp here in Las Vegas, joined by my friend and colleague, Jeremy Korbel. How you doing, Jeremy? We had a good one today.
Oh, yeah. I'm excited, man. We're going to be speaking with somebody who has seen things for themselves and has a really pretty incredible background.
You know, one of the cool things, the many cool things about living in Las Vegas is it's the home to the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. This precision flying team that travels around the world demonstrates the precision and the power of American air forces and the Thunderbirds because of the proximity where I live. When they're in the air, a couple of times a year, they'll practice and then they put on a show over Nellis. When they're in the air, they fly right by my house. So I go up on the roof and watch them. And it's spectacular. These are some of the elite of the elites in aviation and aviation. I don't know if our friend Dave Fravor will agree that these are the best pilots in the world, but they're pretty close.
They're certainly in the conversation. We've never been able to talk to a Thunderbird pilot about UFOs until, you know, a couple of years ago. There was a considerable amount of stigma around this topic. But as of seven, eight months ago, one of the former Thunderbird pilots decided to come forward and talk about his encounters, UFO encounters. And I use that plural version because he's had more than one. You want to introduce him, Jeremy?
Yeah, sure.
What experiences led Bodenheimer to share his UFO encounters?
So I think what you're saying is true, though. It's really interesting. The Thunderbirds, I will hear more about it, but it's precision flying. So you have to have like a lot of time in aircraft to be able to fly with that kind of thing. But you have to have a whole history before. So we're going to be talking with my friend, Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Bodenheimer.
Yeah, well, George, Jeremy, thanks for having me. It's really, really good to be here today. George, sounds like the Thunderbirds need to charge you a royalty for that view of their takeoffs every day, man. That's awesome. Yeah, so I started in the Air Force, went to pilot training in Texas, got the F-15E Strike Eagle. uh dream jet you know twin engine uh twin cockpit jets basically you know the the top gun jet for the air force uh two people in that thing very combat capable so all the beeps and squeaks all the like different technologies that you could ever ask for they literally update that thing every month uh with the newest technologies that the air force has so dream jet Did that for eight years or so, a little bit less than eight years.
And I ended up deploying to Afghanistan during that time, did 70 combat missions, 300 combat hours over there. That would have been 2011 through 2012. And then I came back and I didn't think life could get any cooler.
