UFO disclosure isn’t about aliens—it’s about suppressed energy tech, black budgets, and control.
This investigation follows a 1970s engineer who helped crack propulsion with no exhaust, no heat signature—then vanished along with the lab, the journal, and the truth. Decades later, “Tic Tac” UAPs show the same physics. So what if disclosure isn’t the beginning of the story, but the last page of one we were never allowed to read?
In this episode, we lay out the receipts: Navy “inertia reduction” patents (Salvatore Pais), electrogravitics and field propulsion research, DARPA/DoD warp-metric studies (Alcubierre concepts), AATIP/AAWSAP docs, FOIA breadcrumbs, contractor pipelines, and why AARO’s public scope avoids anything of U.S. origin. We connect the dots across Bob Lazar’s S4 claims, Ben Rich/Skunk Works lore, metamaterials programs, transmedium craft, and the petrodollar incentives that kept civilization-level energy breakthroughs in the dark.
What you’ll learn
Why UAP IR footage shows no thermal plume, no sonic boom, and motion that looks like space-time manipulation—not combustion.
How electrogravitics, high-voltage capacitors, and quantum vacuum concepts underpin “field propulsion.”
The role of black budgets, USAPs, and prime contractors (Lockheed, Northrop, etc.) in quarantining breakthrough tech.
Why “disclosure” is a rollout—timed to normalize tech they now need to use.
The stakes: oil wars, the petrodollar, environmental cost, and a century of narratives built on enforced scarcity.
