definitely think they're

the fringe. This is just the

mainstream. The technology
[0:01:05 - 0:01:06] ▶
that we faced was far superior
[0:01:06 - 0:01:07] ▶
than anything that we had.
[0:01:07 - 0:01:09] ▶
And there's nothing we can

do about it. Nothing in large

of aerial phenomena spotted

during military training

flights, including this one of
[0:01:32 - 0:01:33] ▶
an object that appears over the
[0:01:33 - 0:01:35] ▶
water. Another seen in a mission

things they can't explain in one

of the UFO. And one former

intelligence officer saying the
[0:01:54 - 0:01:55] ▶
U. S. Was in possession of a
[0:01:55 - 0:01:56] ▶
craft and beings that were not
[0:01:56 - 0:01:57] ▶
human. Were they, I guess,
[0:01:57 - 0:01:58] ▶
human or non human biologics?
[0:01:58 - 0:02:00] ▶
Non human from Hollywood and
[0:02:00 - 0:02:02] ▶
beyond. The UFO storyline has
[0:02:02 - 0:02:04] ▶
moved from the big screen.
[0:02:04 - 0:02:06] ▶
That was really close to real
[0:02:06 - 0:02:07] ▶
life. We just had the craziest
[0:02:07 - 0:02:09] ▶
f***ing orb UFO experience.

Singer Casey Musgraves posting
[0:02:12 - 0:02:14] ▶
images of what she says were UFOs she
[0:02:14 - 0:02:16] ▶
recently spotted while on a flight from

Texas to Tennessee. President Obama
[0:02:18 - 0:02:19] ▶
reigniting speculation himself with
[0:02:19 - 0:02:22] ▶
these comments on a recent podcast.
[0:02:22 - 0:02:24] ▶
Are aliens real?
[0:02:24 - 0:02:25] ▶
They're real, but I haven't seen
[0:02:25 - 0:02:28] ▶
them and they're not being kept in
[0:02:28 - 0:02:31] ▶
what is it? Area 51.
[0:02:31 - 0:02:33] ▶
Area 51.
[0:02:33 - 0:02:34] ▶
But then he walked it back writing
[0:02:34 - 0:02:35] ▶
on Instagram, I saw no evidence
[0:02:35 - 0:02:36] ▶
during my presidency that
[0:02:36 - 0:02:38] ▶
extraterrestrials have made contact
[0:02:38 - 0:02:40] ▶
with us. President Trump saying Obama
[0:02:40 - 0:02:42] ▶
did a quote, really bad thing,
[0:02:42 - 0:02:44] ▶
disclosing this information and then
[0:02:44 - 0:02:46] ▶
ordering the release of the UAP files
[0:02:46 - 0:02:48] ▶
back in February.
[0:02:48 - 0:02:50] ▶
As for tomorrow's deadline, the
[0:02:50 - 0:02:52] ▶
Pentagon telling NBC News in a
[0:02:52 - 0:02:53] ▶
statement, as with all congressional
[0:02:53 - 0:02:55] ▶
correspondents, we will reply
[0:02:55 - 0:02:57] ▶
directly to the authors of the
[0:02:57 - 0:02:58] ▶
letter. Tonight, the big question
[0:02:58 - 0:03:00] ▶
remains, if the truth is out there,
[0:03:00 - 0:03:02] ▶
will they ever release it?
[0:03:02 - 0:03:04] ▶
Gatti is joining us now.
[0:03:04 - 0:03:08] ▶
You're ready. You are ready to see
[0:03:08 - 0:03:11] ▶
some of these videos. I know that this
[0:03:11 - 0:03:13] ▶
has been like honestly something you've
[0:03:13 - 0:03:15] ▶
been reporting on for like years.
[0:03:15 - 0:03:19] ▶
Yeah, years. And I'm ready to also
[0:03:19 - 0:03:21] ▶
be disappointed, Hallie, because as
[0:03:21 - 0:03:24] ▶
I've been reporting this for years,
[0:03:24 - 0:03:25] ▶
we have consistently been given
[0:03:25 - 0:03:27] ▶
these deadlines, these dates, there's
[0:03:27 - 0:03:29] ▶
going to be a hearing, there's this.
[0:03:29 - 0:03:31] ▶
The president has said release all
[0:03:31 - 0:03:32] ▶
the files. And here we are. We
[0:03:32 - 0:03:34] ▶
don't have much. But the thing that
[0:03:34 - 0:03:36] ▶
I'm very excited about is whether or
[0:03:36 - 0:03:39] ▶
not we're going to see some of the
[0:03:39 - 0:03:42] ▶
videos because the titles are pretty
[0:03:42 - 0:03:44] ▶
wild. This is the letter that was
[0:03:44 - 0:03:46] ▶
sent out to the Department of Defense,
[0:03:46 - 0:03:48] ▶
Department of War. And Hallie, again,
[0:03:48 - 0:03:50] ▶
the thing that's been so frustrating
[0:03:50 - 0:03:52] ▶
is that we don't have good evidence,
[0:03:52 - 0:03:54] ▶
right? We have sensors. We have all
[0:03:54 - 0:03:56] ▶
these platforms. We don't have good
[0:03:56 - 0:03:58] ▶
evidence. A lot of this is even in the
[0:03:58 - 0:04:01] ▶
descriptions here. United States Air
[0:04:01 - 0:04:04] ▶
Force F-16C callsign Air Sur 11
[0:04:04 - 0:04:10] ▶
shoots down UAP over Lake Huron with
[0:04:10 - 0:04:13] ▶
AIM-9X, a sidewinder. We know what
[0:04:13 - 0:04:16] ▶
that one is. That one is going to be,
[0:04:16 - 0:04:17] ▶
you remember that Chinese balloon spy
[0:04:18 - 0:04:20] ▶
stuff that was happening back in
[0:04:20 - 0:04:21] ▶
2023 and how they shot something down?
[0:04:21 - 0:04:23] ▶
They labeled that a UAP. That one
[0:04:24 - 0:04:26] ▶
looks like it's going to be some sort
[0:04:26 - 0:04:27] ▶
of company that was monitoring
[0:04:27 - 0:04:29] ▶
weather. But then there are other
[0:04:29 - 0:04:32] ▶
ones in here. UAP, UAS, underwater
[0:04:32 - 0:04:35] ▶
stuff next to submarines. We'll see
[0:04:35 - 0:04:38] ▶
if we actually see some of that video,
[0:04:38 - 0:04:40] ▶
but it could be very interesting.
