Beschrijving

Captain Ron Janix found Contact in the Desert the way most people find the things that change their lives, by accident. In this episode, Dan speaks with Captain Ron about what it actually means to build a space for people who’ve seen something they can’t explain, believe something they can’t prove, and need to be with others who feel the same way. Ron shares how he went from celebrity personal assistant to conference co-owner, what it takes to hold the full spectrum of the UAP community under one roof, and whether the act of gathering itself could be doing something […]

Do Secret Religious Groups Use Faith To Stop UFO Disclosure? | Jason Samosa

The ‘Collins Elite’ is one of the most polarizing terms in the UFO community, often used as a blanket explanation for why high-ranking officials want to keep the truth in the dark. But what if the reality is much more tactical than we’ve been led to believe? At the world’s biggest UFO conference (Contact in the Desert), Dan sat down with researcher Jason Samosa, who shares his journey from studying for the ministry to uncovering the geopolitical and religious intersections of the UFO phenomenon. They explore their personal struggles with faith, and how powerful networks of religious and political elites use it, and our foundational institutions, against us to control the UAP narrative and influence the world at large. They dive deep into: • The Genesis of Secrecy: How a 1950s Pentagon program evolved into a sophisticated control system designed to weaponize religious ideology (the ‘UFOs = demons’ hypothesis) and suppress the UFO reality. • The Great Schism: The clash between our desire for scientific truth and the inflexible nature of ancient religious institutions that refuse to grow. • The ‘Family’ Connection: Why some of the most influential figures in government networks intentionally lean into apocalyptic narratives to prevent the public from questioning the status quo. • The Cost of Disclosure: Why a complete shift in our understanding of the universe might be seen as a direct threat to the financial and political systems that rely on our current worldviews. • Seeing Through Power Systems: Jason discusses how his own path, from evangelical study to navigating Washington D.C., has highlighted why the ultimate truth may never come from the government, but from our own ability to see through traditional power systems. It turns out that in the battle for disclosure, the biggest threat to the truth is the weaponization of our own faith.

Disclosure Day, Desert Skywatches & Contact in the Desert | The Signal

This week on The Signal, Dan, Roz & Dale are joined by Kelly and Sam from Frightday for a wide-ranging live conversation about UFO disclosure, Contact in the Desert, Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, and one very suspicious light in the desert sky. The crew breaks down the latest push from David Grusch, lawmakers, journalists, and researchers calling for the U.S. government to declassify what it knows about UAP, non-human intelligence, biologics, legacy programs, and crash retrievals. Is this a historic pressure campaign, or are we still stuck in the same cycle of speeches, promises, and “trust us, bro” disclosure? They also look ahead to Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and ask whether the film could become a cultural tipping point for the UFO conversation — or simply a great summer blockbuster with a lot of familiar lore baked in. Then, Dan shares highlights from Contact in the Desert, including conversations with Thomas Jane, Joshua Cutchin, Paul H. Smith, Matthew Brown, Jason Samosa, Sarah Gamm, Jeremy Corbell, and more. The group talks about the strange magic of the conference, the people behind the movement, Jacques Vallée’s final public appearance, and what it feels like when the UFO world stops being an online conversation and becomes a room full of actual humans. And, of course, there’s UFO or UF-No — featuring footage Dan filmed during a desert skywatch with the Skywatcher team. Was it anomalous? Was it consciousness contact? Or was it… Starlink? You already know the universe has jokes. Remember to be curious - the universe is bigger than we know!
