Coming to Digital from acclaimed Ufologist, filmmaker, director James Fox and narrated by Peter Coyote from Lab 9 Films is a look at how the search for answers regarding the question ‘are we alone?’ continues with THE PROGRAM.

UAPs (Unidentified Areal Phenomenon) are back in the headlines and being talked about in the United States Government. Speaking before Congress, those who know or have discovered there is more hidden, believe it is time to bring it out in the open. In 2023, Chuck Schumer (D) of New York and Mike Round (R) of South Dakota want transparency about UAPs. In a Congressional document, they ask about any remains of possible UAPs. Joining the conversation is Leslie Kean, an investigative reporter who discovers that the Pentagon is part of all the secrecy.

There are interviews and video that cause a 2017 resurgence of interest. This forces the Pentagon to admit there is something out there. US Pilot Ryan Graves, in 2015, had seen such UAPs. Kirk McConnell, Senate Armed Services Committee, between 2017 and 2024, has researched and confirmed the UAPs saying the Navy knows about the crafts and their speed and maneuver capabilities. Christopher Melon, former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, realizes it is time to get to the bottom of it all. The activity is, as Melon says, so prolific. Pilots are now required to report UAPs without fear of retribution.

All of this push forces the Pentagon to release information confirming there was a “demonstration of advanced technology” and the number of near-misses by pilots. In May of 2022, it is brought out that 50 years ago, Project Bluebook was cancelled. In 2017, Congress learns a similar program had begun. Scott Bray and Roger Moltrie are brought to Congress to answer hard hitting questions. Bray talks about an incident in 2014 on the USS Nimitz off the San Diego coastline. It was Melon who brought the story to the New York Times. He finds the deck logs for that period of time are now missing!

The “Admiral Wilson” memo speaks about an ultra-secret UAP crash. The memo states that they have a craft. Dr. Hal Puthoff, former Senior Advisor on UAP Program, researches crash retrievals but has signed security oaths so his hands are tied. He doesn’t believe what he knows versus going to jail is worth it and admits there is a lot more to know. Congressman Andre Carson also chooses his words on UAPs carefully. He still wants to find more information before he speaks. In 2020, President Biden signs a mandate to report UAPs and any retrieved materials. Melon says, “The info will reveal we are not alone but the public might not be ready” to hear it.

Legitimate UAP “whistleblowers” now come forward to tell what they know. Lenval Logan, former Intelligence Analyst, USAF, wants to share what he knows. Jason Sands, Master Sergeant USAF, says there are true UAP data. Dr. Gary Nolan of Stanford University deals with unknown materials related to UAP reports around the world. SIPR, JNICS all have such information.

Gary McKinnon, System Administrator, was accused of hacking into government systems. He said he was looking for UAP information on the subnet at Johnson Space Center and downloaded something explaining what he saw. Facing prison, Prime Minister May of England refused to extradite him to the U.S. to face the courts. Now, he can never leave the country. Dr. David Clarke, in 1990, spoke with Craig Lindsay, Royal Air Force Office, Scotland, about the incident. Two employees in Calvin, Scotland, saw something in the sky hovering. They took six photographs before the craft disappeared. The photos were taken by the Military of Defense. One image was kept by Lindsay and will now finally be seen.

In 2023, NASA Headquarters gives a press conference on joining the UAP conversation and “try to find out” about the phenomenon. They promise to be transparent from this point on but, will they? Also in 2023, David Grusch, was asked to look into UAP events and now needs to speak as well. During his testimony to Congress, he makes clear that he knows where a location is of strange UAP material. The government has not allowed Grusch to get into a SCIF to give his classified testimony. Sands says that the government has “off world” vehicles. He speaks of the Legacy Program and believes Congress should hear about it and he would gladly show them what he knows at the infamous Area 51.

Finally, everyone who has spoken out knows they will be ridiculed or have their lives turned upside down. The dancing around the question of UAPs is still going on and it will continue until someone in power opens the vault for all of it to come spilling out – whether we are ready or not!

Other interviews include NASA Administrator Rep. Bill Nelson, Congressman Tim Burchett, Ministry of Defense UK Nick Pope, Senator Harry Reid, and Senior Defense Editor Politico Bryan Bender. Lab 9 Is a top-secret film production company specializing in UFO and paranormal feature documentaries.

There are several documentaries regarding the UAP phenomenon and changing the name from UFO to UAP is what? Is it suppose to confuse people or make them think they aren’t intelligent enough to know that switching letters around will make us forget? Hardly, changing the letters, for me, only shows that they continue to treat the American public as children. Will people freak out to know there are aliens roaming around the universe? There is no shock in knowing that because, personally, I find arrogance in thinking we are the only beings in the vastness of the universe.

So, the question then becomes, if there are beings flying around, are they dangerous? Really? Have you seen what we, as carbon-based units, do to one another on an hourly basis. The horror that we inflict on one another in the name of love, religion and politics probably scares the living daylights out of “them”. Then what is the hiding for? The only reasonable answer would be that the government wants the technology for themselves and are afraid it will fall into the wrong hands. This is also arrogant because I hardly thinking that “they” only fly around the United States when there is a whole planet to make their playground.

All of this being said, I find what director Fox has brought to our attention is that the government is still playing games. He has found those that need to speak and found leaders that say enough is enough with the hiding and how is this hiding funded? It reminds me of a line in the film INDEPENDENCE DAY when the “President” asks about area 51 by saying, “how do you get funding for something like this?” Judd Hirsch, playing Julius Levinson, says, “you don’t actually think they spend $20,000 on a hammer, $30,000 on a toilet seat, do you?” 

There are laughable moments when agencies talk about “from this point on there will be complete transparency” because I don’t believe a word of it. Those in power have something they want to protect and they are going to do so at all cost, including making more false promises. Yet, one day, there will be a moment where all the hiding, lies, promises and evading won’t save them from what lands on their doorstep – pun intended. My only hope is that Fox is there with his camera rolling catching their expression. THE PROGRAM offers up a few blunt answers by those who speak as much as they can but oh how I wish they would say more and confirm what most of us already believe.

In the end – no one need tell us we are not alone!
