Speaker 1 (00:00):
The UFO disclosure movement just gained another powerful witness. Marine
Corps veteran Roderick Castle the Third has become the latest
whistleblower to come forward, following in the footsteps of David
Grush and others testifying to Congress. In a recent interview
with UAP GERB, Castle revealed his nineteen ninety seven encounter
(00:20):
with a three hundred foot triangular craft. But here's the
crazy part. It happened on the exact same night as
the famous Phoenix Lights incident. Castle has since met with
Congressman Eric Berlasson and researcher Stephen Greer and is preparing
to testify before Congress about what he witnessed in the
California Desert. As always, you can find the full interview
(00:41):
and my detailed articles at ufonews dot com. All those
links are in the description box. Blow. Hey you follow yours.
I'm Christina Gomez and we'll go to this episode of
UFO News Updates.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Things hadn't changed, maybe, you know, in the last two
three years, with the energy about this subject, that's the stigma.
I probably would have just taken into my grave. Yeah,
maybe told stories to excite, you know, my grandkids or something, Oh,
Grandpa Rogers talking about that black.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Pri Castle's decision to break decades of silence places him
among a growing list of military witnesses stepping forward in
the current disclosure environment. According to reports, Castle recently contacted
whistleblower David Grush and was subsequently invited to Washington, d C.
To meet with Congressman Eric Burlison alongside other witnesses. What
(01:33):
makes Castle's testimony significant is its timing and location. His
encounter occurred on March thirteenth, nineteen ninety seven, the exact
night as the Phoenix Lights incident that captivated thousands of
witnesses across Arizona and neighboring states, and while the Phoenix
Lights dominated headlines, Castle's experience at the Marine Corps Air
(01:55):
Ground Combat Center at twenty nine Palms reveals what may
have been happening simultaneously in the California desert, just hours
away from the Arizona sightings.
Speaker 2 (02:07):
Oh, we get a call in the radio that there's
you know, either unexplained or unauthorized something about flair activity
in the desert. You know, maybe four three to four
miles out, maybe five. We come over a hill and
all all five of us see it. It is a
(02:32):
black from that angle equilateral triangle, meaning all sides the same,
with three white yellowish orbs in each corner, and possibly
some kind of benting on the sides, but definitely rounded
on the edge. It's not pointy. That was there hanging
(02:55):
in the sky.
Speaker 1 (02:56):
As reported by Stephen Diner and Castle describes witnessing a
three one hundred foot equilateral triangle craft hovering about one
hundred and fifty to two hundred feet above the desert terrain,
and below it were unmarked black tactical vehicles and heavily
armed operatives in black uniforms, not part of any known
branch of the US military, and despite being on US
(03:19):
soil and uniform, Castle's team was outnumbered, disarmed, and detained
at gunpoint. The Phoenix Lights incident remains one of the
most documented UFO events in history, with thousands of witnesses
reporting v shaped formations moving slowly across Arizona's night sky,
and the official explanation attributed to military aircraft and flares
(03:44):
from training exercises. However, Castle's testimony adds a new dimension,
suggesting coordinated operations involving advanced craft and black operation teams
across multiple states.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
That same So I know that your number one concern
was for your life in the life of your fellow marines.
Could you tell what the rest of the convoy was doing,
what the trucks were doing, what the triangle was doing
during this time?
Speaker 2 (04:11):
You know. Of course, I've gone over this in my
head a billion times, and I got my kind of theories,
but I'm not stuck on anything. It felt more like
they were there with it. It's some kind of overwatch.
Maybe it was why I was hovering right there. I
don't know. They seemed surprised as we were, but they
were ready because that's what they do. That was a
(04:33):
sense they're doing their job. The minute the thing was gone,
they've run back down the hill, back to their vehicles.
They take off down that road, saying general erection as
a craft, we pick ourselves up were The best way
I can explain is state of shock after a car
accident or something.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Here's what makes Castle's congressional testimony potentially groundbreaking. If his
encounter occurred simultaneously with the Phoenix lights, are we witnessing
a coordinated test of advanced military technology across multiple states?
And why would these operations involve unmarked personnel operating outside
normal military command structures. Castle's account aligns with research from
(05:17):
Harvard Medical School, from mof ON investigations, and twenty five
years of documentation, suggesting these encounters may represent something far
more complex than just extraterrestrial visitation. His experience bears striking
similarities to historical claims about triangular craft, including allegations made
(05:40):
by Air Force Master Sergeant Edgar Fouch in the nineteen
nineties about the TR three B program. Per sidings from
military airspace reporting, Fouch claimed that the TR three B
utilized reverse engineering propulsion systems that could achieve mock nine
speeds with eighty nine percent reduction. While critics note significant
(06:02):
credibility issues with Fouch's testimony, Castle's verifiable military service and
the electromagnetic effects he reported add credibility to similar technology claims.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
Got back in the vehicle, attempted to turn the hmvillan.
It would not start at first, relatively rare. You know,
you got a just a side twitch to diesel engine,
pretty reliable. It took maybe five minutes to get it going.
Speaker 1 (06:32):
What happened after Castle's encounter reveals potential systematic protocols. The
next day, his team received anthrax boosters, highly unusual since
the Department of Defense mandate for military anthrax vaccines didn't
take effect until December of nineteen ninety seven. Prior to
this date, anthrax vaccines were only administrated on a voluntary
(06:56):
or targeted basis, such as at risk laboratory workers or
specific occupational exposures. While approximately about one hundred and fifty
thousand troops received it during the nineteen ninety and nineteen
ninety one Persian Gulf War that was under combat deployment conditions,
making Castle's March nineteen ninety seven anthrax booster during a
(07:21):
domestic training exercise particularly suspicious.
Speaker 2 (07:25):
By seven am, our gunnery sergeant and our chief war
officer was hanging out in our conset, which is strange.
Marines don't do things with a lot of words. They
do things by presence and implying something. Seemed like they
(07:47):
were checking in on us. We already knew what it
was about. But it's just like some flare activity out there. Guys. Yes, sir, yes, sir.
You know it was implied. We knew what they were saying.
This is flares, you guys, stumbled across something you shouldn't
have seen, but no big deal. We were called to
medical and given a anthrax booster, they called it. Now
(08:15):
as far as we knew, we had already been given
the anthrax vaccine, you know, maybe a year prior. Right,
It was always controversial.
Speaker 1 (08:22):
As drawn from defense contracting records, the investigation reveals connections
to the wacken Hut Corporation, a private security firm that
provided security for Nevada Test Site and Area fifty one.
In two thousand and two, wacken Hut attempted to recruit
Castle for helicopter operations, seemingly possessing detailed knowledge of his
(08:45):
military service record.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
In the term not to term the company wacken Hut
kept coming up, And then I remember I was recruited,
not a recruit. I received a letter of an event,
a recruiting event by them when I first got out
of the reserves the New York Army National Guard in
(09:07):
two thousand and two, and it was within three months
of me getting out. At the time, I figured I'm
just on a list of veterans. However, they got that
they were data mining and they got my email. But
thinking back now, knowing what I know about Wagon Hut,
it may have been an attempt. If nothing else, it
(09:27):
was an attempt to pull me in as an asset.
Speaker 1 (09:30):
With Castle now joining David Grush and other military witnesses
willing to testify under oath, and given his connection to
the Phoenix Lights timeline. Do you think Congress will finally
get answers about these Black Triangle programs? What questions should
Congressman Eric Burlison be asking? Leave your thoughts in the
(09:50):
comments below. I'm Christian Gomez and that is it for today.
I will see you next time. Be safe and remember
keep your eyes on the skies. If you enjoy today's show,
