Explore every episode of the podcast UFO? UAP? WTF? — a UFO podcast

In this first episode of 2024, host Jason McClellan shares some personal thoughts on where we are with UFOs, what progress has been made, and what we can expect to see this year related to the UFO topic.

Researchers have been trying to solve the UFO mystery for nearly 80 years. Yet, we aren’t really any closer to getting answers. Is it time to rethink how we approach UFO research and modify what we expect to get out of it? Jason McClellan explores that on this episode, with assistance from GenAI.

Emotions can run high in a community of people who share a passion. This is certainly true in the UFO community. This community has no shortage of petty squabbles, mudslinging, and taunting. And, for whatever reason, some people feel like an interest in UFOs is a competitive sport that requires picking sides. Guess what? It doesn't.

Air safety has become a key issue for some currently pushing for governmental action related to UFOs. Are these efforts really necessary? Is our government really negligent when it comes to air safety? Let’s find out.

The U.S. military began 2023 with a series of incidents in which fighter jets shot down UFOs. These events occurred not long after a Congressional hearing on UFOs at which the claim was made that the US Military hasn’t ever fired at a UFO. This episode explores this inaccurate claim.

In recent years, many media outlets and UFO researchers alike have been enthusiastically presenting “UAP” as the new term of choice by the US government when referring to UFOs. That’s not entirely accurate. In fact, the US military was using “unidentified aerial phenomena” terminology before they used “UFO.”

Welcome to UFO? UAP? WTF? (formerly UNKNOWN)! This episode is the first under the rebranded name. Host Jason McClellan kicks things off with a primer and introduction to the new show by providing an introduction—an honest, unsensational introduction—to UFOs for 2023.

In continuing this year's study of the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident, this episode explores the assertion that, not only did an extraterrestrial-piloted craft crash in the New Mexico desert, but the bodies of those extraterrestrials were also recovered by the military.

Continuing this season's exploration of the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident, on this episode, Jason McClellan relays the basic story of what allegedly transpired back in 1947, laying the groundwork to dive into claims of alien bodies, witness silencing, and other alleged elements of this fascinating historical UFO case.

It's a new year, and a new season of UNKNOWN. We’re doing something different this year on UNKNOWN. Rather than each episode focusing on a new topic, case, person, or current event, we’re focusing the entire year on revisiting the infamous 1947 Roswell UFO crash.

This episode provides a look at what's coming this season, as well as a very brief overview of what the Roswell UFO Incident is.

The seemingly renewed interest in UFOs within the U.S. Government has resulted in two new potential government UFO programs. On this episode of UNKNOWN, Jason McClellan looks at the new Airborne Object Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) and the proposed Anomaly Surveillance, Tracking and Resolution Office (ASTRO).

Is the idea of government disclosure of information related to UFOs still a relevant or worthwhile aspiration?

On this episode of the UFO podcast UNKNOWN, Jason McClellan discusses the recurring complaint that some people have when it comes to individuals or companies who charge money for information related to UFOs and/or extraterrestrials.

On this episode of the UFO podcast UNKNOWN, Jason McClellan provides a brief overview of the recently released U.S. government UFO report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

On June 8th, Washington Post congressional correspondent Jacqueline Alemany interviewed Luis Elizondo, the individual who administered the Pentagon’s now-defunct UFO project known as the Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program. During the interview, Elizondo asserted that China is working to bring the UFO issue to the United Nations.

There have been plenty of people opining recently that the topic of UFOs should be addressed at the U.N. Most people don’t realize, however, that it already has been . . . back in 1978. This special UN UFO event and an associated press conference included astronaut Gordon Cooper, and famed UFO researchers Jacques Vallee and J. Allen Hynek. And the individual who produced this UFO presentation at the United Nations is our guest today, veteran UFO journalist Lee Speigel.

A current push for government transparency when it comes to UFOs has people clamoring for the U.S. government to disclose what it knows about UFOs. On this episode, Jason McClellan discusses the topic of government transparency, government UFO disclosure, and the media frenzy related to the impending UFO report coming from the Director of National Intelligence.

On this episode of the UFO podcast UNKNOWN, Jason McClellan looks at three recently released UFO photos that were taken by the Weapons System Officer in a Navy F-18 fighter jet on April 6, 2019.

On this UFO Happy Hour episode of the UFO podcast UNKNOWN, the team chats about some of the UFO-related stories that made headlines during the month of February 2021, including:

• The Pentagon admitted it has UFO debris?
• UFO metals being stored by Robert Bigelow?
• Nicaragua's National Ministry for Extraterrestrial Space Affairs, The Moon and Other Celestial Bodies
• Commercial pilot reports a UFO

On this episode of the UFO podcast UNKNOWN, Jason McClellan looks back at a few notable examples of members of congress taking a serious interest in UFOs, and highlights the unsatisfying and unfortunate previous actions taken in response to concerns about UFOs by the U.S. military/government.

It's the first UFO Happy Hour episode of the year! Jason McClellan, Maureen Elsberry, Ryan Sprague, and Shane Hurd get together for a casual conversation about some of the biggest UFO-related news stories that have generated headlines in the month of January. 

On this first episode of the year, Jason McClellan discusses the U.S. Department of Defense's Unidentified Aerial Phenomena Task Force, looks at the recent headlines that claim the Pentagon has 180 days to disclose all its UFO secrets to the public, and explains why the UAPTF will generate multiple headlines this year.
