NOTE: There are two different versions of each UAP Witness interview: a condensed conversation that just covers basic details of the encounter, and a deep dive conversation that goes into all the details, and where I ask lots of questions. **This is the full-length version.**_

GUEST INFO

Nick Gold is a congressional lobbyist, and media and information technologist based in Baltimore, Maryland. He's the founding director of Declassify UAP, an organization that helps US voters advocate for government transparency around the UAP subject, and that has so far driven over 25,000 calls and letters to Washington DC. Nick's also a contributing member of SCU, and a former member of Harvard's Galileo Project, and principle author on their publications. He’s worked with major broadcasters, studios, government agencies, and biotech startups. You can find out more about Nick's work, or voice your own support for UAP transparency at DeclassifyUAP.org.

TOPICS

In this episode, Nick walks us through the details of his own UAP encounter. He gives us a detailed description of the object he watched glide over the Baltimore skyline through the windows of his home, before moving on to discuss the very strange synchronistic features of the encounter. This is the sort of detail that's often totally ignored in standard UAP data collection, but that might provide a key to understanding the deep nature of these events beyond their technological features. This conversation is a clear example of how, when you look closely at a single UAP encounter, it often expands into a web of profound ideas and questions.

Matthew Szydagis, Ph.D. is a professor of physics and astronomy at the University of Albany, where he works on solving basic mysteries of physics related to dark matter. He has a longstanding interest in UAP, and in this two-part episode we discuss two big questions he's working on. In part 1 he lays out his case for why we should expect "catastrophic disclosure" within our lifetimes. In part 2 we discuss the results of his lab's materials analysis of a piece of very strange material that may be part of a crashed UAP.
