Luigi Vedittelli Recreating S4

Recorded live from Contact in the Desert 2026, we welcome filmmaker, researcher, and former MUFON Canada national director Luigi Vendittelli for an in-depth conversation about one of the most iconic and controversial stories in ufology.Luigi takes us behind the scenes of his groundbreaking documentary S4: The Bob Lazar Story (2026), detailing the years he spent collaborating directly with Bob Lazar. Together, they meticulously reconstructed the secretive S-4 facility at Papoose Lake—complete with its hidden hangars inside the mountain—and the legendary “Sport Model” craft, using cutting-edge digital tools like Unreal Engine 5 and Blender for forensic accuracy. From the technical challenges of bringing Lazar’s descriptions to vivid, to newly uncovered evidence (including a rare 1942 map confirming the site’s location), Luigi shares what it was like to verify and visualize details that have fueled decades of debate. We explore the reverse-engineering claims, the physics-defying propulsion systems, the personal toll on Lazar, and why this reconstruction feels more real than ever. Whether you’re a longtime skeptic, a dedicated believer, or somewhere in between, this episode dives deep into the painstaking effort to honor and illuminate one of ufology’s most enduring narratives.

Tim Phillips - Former AARO Director, IMIX

In this episode, we have the chance to talk with Tim Phillips, the former Director of AARO. Tim was really honest about how he had zero interest in UAPs or UFOs before stepping into the role. He didn’t come in as a believer or a skeptic — just someone doing the job. He opened up about what it was actually like running AARO, the behind-the-scenes process, and how the U.S. political system makes it incredibly difficult to get anything done in a timely way.We talk about his new role as IMIX Senior Strategic Advisor, where he’s now part of a major global initiative, bringing together some of the world’s top scientists, researchers, and intelligence professionals. It was fascinating hearing about this shift toward real international collaboration. (Team Work To Make The Dream Work!) One of the biggest takeaways for us was Tim’s strong belief that UAP research — especially anything involving non-human intelligence — should belong to the public, not locked away by governments.We covered a much-needed look inside the DOD and UAP research in this one. If you want the inside perspective on how AARO actually operated, the frustrations, the realities, and where things might be heading next, this episode is a must-listen for 2026. Let us know what your thoughts are in the comments! Available now on YouTube + all podcast platforms.#UAP #AARO #TimPhillips #UFO #IMIX

But if we don't use our philosophy, our way of thinking in the abstract- how do we get any closer to it? To them? If we want to know why they're here, we have to look into the abductees, the selection process- or lack thereof.
