  • Heard Tell Radio: UAP Disclosure, AI, & Privacy

    My latest interview on Andrew Donaldson‘s Heard Tell Radio is a bit of a wild one. To begin, I discuss the growing movement for government disclosure on UAPs (Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena) or UFOs, and why it’s important for transparency and accountability.
