Jeff Nuccetelli is a former Air Force security officer who responded to an incident in 2004 of a large ‘Red Square’ being reporting at Vandenberg Air Force Base. Jeff details the account, the records he preserved of the incident, and how his interactions with AARO did... or did not... reveal any truth.   === Ryan Graves: AIAA UAP: https://www.aiaauap.org [https://www.aiaauap.org] Twitter: @uncertainvector  Connect with Us: Website: http://www.mergedpodcast.com [http://www.mergedpodcast.com] Merged Point: https://www.mergedpoint.com [https://www.mergedpoint.com]   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Dr. Adam Frank, a leading expert on star evolution and a passionate "evangelist of science." Based at the University of Rochester, his research group utilizes advanced supercomputers to study stellar formation and demise. Today, Frank takes us on a journey into the search for technosignatures and habitability in exoplanets. Frank also teases a NASA concept that aims to use the sun as a gigantic lens for magnifying distant exoplanets. Don't miss this eye-opening discussion on the future of astrobiology and space exploration. We'll also discuss UAP and whether he believes the field merits study.    Adam Frank is an American physicist, astronomer, and writer. His scientific research has focused on computational astrophysics with an emphasis on star formation and late stages of stellar evolution. His work includes studies of exoplanet atmospheres and astrobiology. Adam's "The Little Book of Aliens" is available everywhere now.  Ryan Graves: AIAA UAP: https://www.aiaauap.org Twitter: @uncertainvector Connect with Us: Website: http://www.mergedpodcast.com Merged Point: https://www.mergedpoint.com See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Matt Laslo fulfilled his mission of interviewing every single member of congress after the UAP hearings. We’ll discuss what he learned.    Based on Capitol Hill, veteran journalist Matt Laslo has been covering campaigns and every aspect of federal policy since 2006. He’s a WIRED magazine contributor, covering everything from data privacy and crypto to Big Tech and UFOs (aka UAPs). Over the years, Laslo’s also been a regular contributor with VICE News, VICE News Tonight (HBO), Rolling Stone, Raw Story, The Daily Beast and Playboy, et. His beats have included cannabis (including moderating Aspen Ideas Festival’s first-ever cannabis panel), coal, climate, oil and gas, Indian Country, gun violence, health care, mass incarceration, opioid crisis, horse racing, the intersection of music & politics, etc. At the Capitol, he operates The LCB (Laslo Congressional Bureau)—a wire service focused on serving political news deserts and assisting shrinking newsrooms nationwide. From 2010-2015, he was the political correspondent for WAMU (DC’s NPR station). While he’s been on assignment for NPR, The LCB has served 45+ local NPR Member Stations, local newspapers, alt-weeklies, He also founded Ask a Pol—an interactive Substack publication serving as everyday voters’ conduit to Congress. https://www.mattlaslo.com/ [https://www.mattlaslo.com/] @mattlaslo and @ask_a_pol (or @askpols on Insta)   Ryan Graves: AIAA UAP: https://www.aiaauap.org [https://www.aiaauap.org] Twitter: @uncertainvector Connect with Us: Website: http://www.mergedpodcast.com [http://www.mergedpodcast.com] Merged Point: https://www.mergedpoint.com [https://www.mergedpoint.com]   See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

On this episode of the podcast, we are joined by Tim Gallaudet, CEO of Ocean STL Consulting and former Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Deputy NOAA Administrator. With a background as the Oceanographer of the Navy and a Research Associate for the Galileo Project, Tim brings a wealth of experience and knowledge to the conversation. In this episode, we dive into Tim's career trajectory, his involvement with the infamous GOFAST/GIMBAL incident, and his current efforts to move the UAP (unidentified aerial phenomenon) topic forward in the underwater domain. Join us for an insightful and thought-provoking discussion with one of the leading experts in the field.   The Honorable Tim Gallaudet, PhD, Rear Admiral, U.S. Navy (ret) is a career oceanographer and technology consultant. Formerly, he served as the acting Undersecretary and Assistant Secretary of Commerce, acting and Deputy Administrator of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and Oceanographer of the Navy. Currently, Gallaudet serves as a strategic advisor and board member for several startups, nonprofits, and research institutions in the ocean, weather, environment, and space sectors. Gallaudet has been interested in UAP since he was young, but his experience as the Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Observatory gave him a greater appreciation for their scientific validity.  He now is a research affiliate for Harvard University’s Galileo Project, an Advisory Board member for Americans for Safe Aerospace, and will provide a keynote address at the Anomalous Aerospace Phenomena Conference hosted by the Scientific Coalition for UAP Studies on July 30.   Ryan Graves AIAA UAP: https://www.aiaauap.org [https://www.aiaauap.org] Twitter: @uncertainvector Connect with Us Website: http://www.mergedpodcast.com [http://www.mergedpodcast.com] Merged Point: https://www.mergedpoint.com [https://www.mergedpoint.com]       See omnystudio.com/listener [https://omnystudio.com/listener] for privacy information.

Welcome back to the Merged Podcast! In this episode we dive into an intriguing exploration of scientific research, unidentified aerial phenomena, and the fascinating world of sound classification with Andy Mead, Co-Lead of the Galileo Project's Acoustics Division. The conversation takes us on a journey through the history of meteorite observation and the vital role of process in scientific projects. Delve into the development of a neural network model for sound classification, its applications in detecting different types of vehicles in our skies, and the team's vision to expand into real-time analysis.   Andy's involvement with the Galileo project sheds light on their scientific approach to unexplained phenomena, and we gain insights into the instrumentation and data collection methods, from windscreen foam to ultrasonic microphones.  As we uncover the challenges and aspirations of this groundbreaking project, we also get a glimpse into Andy's personal journey and how his father's influence sparked a lifelong passion for music and technology.  Don't miss this captivating episode filled with intriguing research, cutting-edge technology, and the pursuit of the sounds of Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP, UFO's)    Based in Portland, ME, Andy Mead is a veteran audio engineer and a Partner at Novus Select, a production firm located in South Lake Tahoe, CA. His journey in the audio realm began with tinkering on his father’s Tascam PortaStudio 4-track recorder. From a mere hobby, it evolved into an unyielding passion, guiding him to pursue formal studies in audio engineering at Tufts University. Andy's professional audio repertoire includes recording, mixing, editing, and consultation services for notable clients like Apple, Google, Nikon, and Red Bull, among others. Additionally, Andy has been a core member of the Galileo Project Research Team since 2021, serving as the co-lead of the acoustics division.
