Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Paul Hynek on His Father J. Allen Hynek, Steven Spielberg, and UFO Disclosure (SITS CLASSIC)
Q: Paul, could you maybe give us a little background on who you are, what you do, and your connection to the main character in the History Channel television series, Project Blue Book?
I am a consultant in tech and entertainment and a professor, and I am the son of J. Allen Hynek, the astronomer central to Project Blue Book; I served as a consultant on the show to help preserve the authentic core of his story while allowing for dramatic storytelling.
Disclosure Forum 2026 | Full Broadcast
Q: What is the current status of UAP data and transparency efforts?
Panelists describe ongoing government data releases, science advisory councils, and congressional oversight, with an emphasis on increasing data access, cross-agency collaboration, and private-sector participation to accelerate understanding.
The Crate in the Desert: A Chilling Military UFO Encounter (SITS CLASSIC)
Q: Did you report this, and what was the reporting culture like?
He explains there was no formal reporting protocol, and given his dereliction of duty (smoking on post) and the secrecy around the operation, he chose not to report in the traditional sense. He emphasizes the compartmentalized nature of the operation and the fear of stigma within the military that could deter witnesses from speaking up.
The Crate in the Desert: A Chilling Military UFO Encounter (SITS CLASSIC)
Q: What was in the Crate, and was it connected to the UFO activity?
Jeremy believes the crate contained something highly sensitive, potentially a recovered nuclear warhead or warhead components tied to Soviet-era material, and that its disposition may be connected to the observed UFO activity. He cites open-source research, CIA testimony, and interviews with other veterans to support a theory that the crate carried strategic nuclear material, not just decoys or standard hardware.
The Crate in the Desert: A Chilling Military UFO Encounter (SITS CLASSIC)
Q: How did the opportunity to be on Unidentified come about?
Jeremy describes a turning point when a History Channel series episode about UFOs and nukes triggered memories of his Jordanian incident. He reached out, initially hoping to validate details with others who were there, and eventually connected with producers who arranged interviews and broader vetting; the process gave him a platform to tell his story truthfully and with professional support.
