episode, we discuss the similarities between John’s ATP and the Pentagon’s
Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program (AATIP). Due to the attention
the disclosure of the existence of AATIP has garnered, there is a resurgence of
interest in the UFO topic in Washington D.C. Relying on John’s insider
knowledge on how the government works, we also discuss the difficulties a UFO
research program would have functioning inside the government, the concerns the
military or other credible organizations may have hosting a UFO program, and

Phenomenon.
