UAP STUDIES Podcast

In this episode, Jason and Michael welcome Robert Salas, a retired U.S. Air Force captain and key witness to one of the most compelling UFO incidents in history—the 1967 Malmstrom Air Force Base event. With only one prior presentation of this presentation, Salas delivers a rare and detailed recounting of the night that forever changed his perspective on unidentified aerial phenomena and their implications for national security. On March 24, 1967, Salas was stationed 60 feet underground at Malmstrom AFB in Montana, serving as a deputy missile combat crew commander overseeing ten Minuteman nuclear missiles. What began as a routine night shift turned surreal when security personnel reported strange lights maneuvering silently in the sky. Moments later, a panicked guard described a glowing, red, oval-shaped object—approximately 30 to 40 feet in diameter—hovering directly above the facility’s front gate. As Salas processed the report, alarms blared in the control room, indicating that all ten missiles had simultaneously gone offline, rendered inoperable in an unprecedented system failure. The UFO departed, and the missiles remained disabled for nearly 24 hours, with no physical damage but a clear message left behind. Drawing from his firsthand experience, declassified documents, and decades of research, Salas details the incident, which was followed by a similar event just eight days earlier at another Malmstrom site. He discusses the Air Force’s initial classification of the event, the non-disclosure agreement he was bound by until 1996, and the broader pattern of UAP activity near nuclear facilities worldwide. Salas also shares insights from his 2023 testimony to the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) and his advocacy for public congressional hearings to address these national security concerns. Was this a demonstration of advanced technology? A warning about nuclear weapons? Or something else entirely?  About Robert Salas: A 1964 U.S. Air Force Academy graduate, Robert Salas served seven years on active duty as a weapons controller, missile launch officer, and engineer on the Titan III program. He has authored books including Faded Giant and Unidentified: The UFO Phenomenon and remains a prominent advocate for UAP disclosure.

We are Celebrating 5 years! We welcome the legendary Dr. Jacques Vallée, a pioneering computer scientist, astronomer, and one of the most respected figures in UAP research. In this 2-hour-plus conversation, hosts Michael Glawson, Katie Paige, and Jason Guillemette dive into Vallée’s illustrious career, exploring his investigations into unexplained aerial phenomena and his unique perspectives on the mysteries that continue to captivate the world.Vallée, the inspiration behind the French scientist in Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind, reflects on iconic cases that have shaped his decades-long journey—from his early work mapping Mars for NASA to his development of the first computerized UAP databases for the secretive AAWSAP program. The discussion also spotlights his latest book, Forbidden Science VI: Scattered Castles, the sixth installment of his personal journals (published in 2025 by Anomalist Books), offering an intimate look at his thoughts on UAP events, AI’s role in disclosure, and the evolving landscape of the field from 2010 to 2019.With warmth and curiosity, the hosts probe Vallée on cases they’re eager to unpack, drawing out rare insights from a man who has spent over six decades bridging science and the unknown. Described by WIRED as a cautious yet visionary explorer of “the phenomenon,” Vallée’s blend of rigorous analysis and open-minded inquiry shines through in this unmissable episode.

This time on UAP Studies, Jason and Michael sit down with Sarah Gamm—a total powerhouse who’s stared down some wild mysteries. She’s got a Bachelor’s in Astrophysics and a Master’s in tackling Weapons of Mass Destruction and her day job? Digging through satellite pics and cooking up genius as an image scientist in the shadowy corners of the Intelligence Community.Sarah’s resume reads like a thriller novel. She’s strategized nuclear counter-moves at the ODNI’s National Counterproliferation and Biosecurity Center, kicked off a bold new project, and swapped secrets with bigwigs—including a POTUS advisor. At the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, she teamed up with the Army Corps of Engineers on the Mosul Dam Task Force, pulling off a nail-biter that saved over a million folks from a watery disaster.Along the way, she whipped up a slick new imaging trick, blending ground intel with space snaps, and co-wrote a paper that’s got everyone talking about watching dams from orbit. Oh, and she poked around with the UAP Task Force, too—yep, those sky oddities.Lately, she’s been cracking nuclear puzzles for the Air Force at the Pentagon, and now she’s tinkering with the Army’s TENCAP crew as a USACE scientist.But here’s the kicker: Sarah’s got a story that’ll knock your socks off. A near-death brush flipped her world upside down, sparking uncanny abilities and a fresh take on everything she thought she knew. Jason and Michael dig into the juicy bits—how her hardcore science chops tangle with these mind-bending moments. A dash of the unexplainable. https://www.ubiquityuniversity.org/psionics-summit-2/ [https://www.ubiquityuniversity.org/psionics-summit-2/]
