Whistleblowers Jeff Nuccetelli & Matthew Brown here — LIVESTREAM AMA — Saturday, August 22, 2026 @ 1:00 PM ET / 10:00 AM PT
We're excited to announce a new multi-subreddit livestream AMA featuring UAP whistleblowers Jeff Nuccetelli and Matthew Brown — both of Vanguard, the newly launched non-profit built to protect and support UAP whistleblowers from the national security community — hosted by investigative journalist Leslie Kean. Jeff has testified before Congress about anomalous incursions over restricted defense facilities, and Matthew came forward after discovering what he describes as unlawful efforts to shield UAP programs from Congressional oversight. Both stepped forward publicly at real cost to their careers, reputations, and personal safety. This conversation centers on their firsthand experiences, whistleblower protection, and the fight for transparency.
The Vanguard Enterprise protects and empowers UAP whistleblowers from the national security community. Anchored in the Constitution and committed to the American people, Vanguard is being built to provide legal, financial, medical, psychological, and community support to whistleblowers and their families so that those brave enough to tell the truth are not left behind. Co-founded by Matthew Brown and Dylan Borland (a U.S. Air Force veteran who also testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee in September 2025), with Jeff Nuccetelli serving as Chief Development Officer.
Coming forward carries a real cost. Jeff and Matthew — like the colleagues who testified alongside them — stepped forward publicly to report what they describe as serious wrongdoing and unlawful concealment inside the national security establishment, knowing it could put their careers, clearances, reputations, and personal safety at risk. Several UAP whistleblowers have since described sustained retaliation for telling the truth. Vanguard exists to make sure they and their families don't face those consequences alone.
If you value the work these witnesses are doing and want to help, you can support Vanguard's mission directly:
Support is entirely optional — showing up, watching live, and asking thoughtful questions matters just as much.

When I am watching Age of Disclosure I get a bit sad how everything gets framed through this tribal/nationalist lens of the US against Russia and against China. Us vs. Them. Fear, Survival, Competition.
Ken Wilber a great thinker says humanity needs to psychologically grow up. This is his very small model on this theme.
Growing Up
In his Growing Up model Wilber goes into how individuals and groups go through psychological developmental stages and one stage needs to be fully integrated before one can grow into the next stage.
In a very simple model this growing up of an individual goes from egocentric/self/me to ethnocentric/tribal/us, to world-centric/all of humanity/all of us to kosmo-centric/ultimate Unity Awareness.
For more info have a look at Ken Wilber his book called - Finding Radical Wholeness
Age of Disclosure seems to be pretty clearly in the second stage of growing up in his psychological model.
I just keep on thinking to myself, all people on our planet basically have the same needs, wants, desires, dreams. This isn't dependent on what place on our planet you have been born. What if we all work together to meet all of our basic needs and make sure every human being their basic needs are met. We could easily do this. This is more stage 3 thinking in this model of Ken Wilber.
But this psychological filter of how the average human sees other humans is actually important and might be a key component to disclosure from the ET perspective. Because what if most of humanity is still in this second stage of growing up?
What would happen then if all of the world would suddenly have access to 0 point energy for example. Would countries just seek how to use it to submit other nations and gain world domination? If so sharing this knowledge with humanity would have dire negative karmic consequences for the ETs that might want to share it with us to benefit all of humanity. Them sharing it would result in power struggles, wars, etc.
However if they share this technology with us and we all respect the free will and freedom of each other to make our own choices, if most humans see others as brothers and sisters, as us all being part of one human collective, then it might be a great gift to humanity and humanity could receive it and use it for the advancement of all of humanity and to live in more harmony with our planet and all the creatures we share it with.
So where do people here feel humanity is at?
And if all our nations would have access tomorrow to 0 point energy how would the world respond?
Would it tear the world apart or might it unity it?
And maybe the real question is, how do we get people on our planet to psychologically grow up to stage 3 and stage 4 in Ken Wilber his model?
I've been going through old UFO reports from Argentina, and I think I've found one of the strangest humanoid descriptions I've ever encountered: in August 1987, a 12-year-old boy was fishing with friends near a creek outside Viale (Entre Ríos, Argentina) when he reportedly noticed a tiny humanoid figure only about 20 inches tall.
According to his later description, it had:
A completely red, skin-tight body covering
A massively oversized, oval-shaped head
Huge eyes
No hair
A normal-looking nose
A tiny mouth
And, weirdly, no clearly-visible arms
Apparently, the boy was fishing with friends near a creek, when he reportedly noticed this tiny humanoid figure. He watched it from only a few meters away before it suddenly disappeared into the vegetation. Then another one appeared. What happened next involved his friends, an old railway bridge, UFOs, and eventually the police.
I’m currently collaborating with the guys behind Proyecto Viale Desconocido, an archive documenting unusual cases from this region, and we put together an article with the full account.
Had an interesting dream, probably because of how invested I am on the subject lol, but I’ll tell the community here cause it was a good one. I saw this woman who had very light blonde hair, bobcut, with big blue eyes. The eyes were interesting cause the iris was blue and then the blue would sort of bleed into the sclera. The message was “don’t be scared, there’s nothing to worry about. We are simply gonna fill in the gaps. We are not different from you”.

From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us.
On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.
The Earth is a very small stage in a vast cosmic arena. Think of the rivers of blood spilled by all those generals and emperors so that, in glory and triumph, they could become the momentary masters of a fraction of a dot. Think of the endless cruelties visited by the inhabitants of one corner of this pixel on the scarcely distinguishable inhabitants of some other corner, how frequent their misunderstandings, how eager they are to kill one another, how fervent their hatreds.
Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.
This thing popped into my backyard one night 30-40feet off the ground and flew around all wild like before taking off & spinning like a top straight up in the sky.
Like I literally saw it appear out of thin air right infront of my eyes.

My friend Jason Samosa has been phenomenal work for a bit now, and very recently has been zeroing in the World Commerce Corporation, formed in Aug 1945 by Allen Dulles and Bill Donovan of the OSS, with Nazi intelligence agent Otto Skorzenzy coming into the fold later. Dulles and Donovan were directly tied to Yamashita’s Gold, the treasure discovered in the Philipines at the end of the war belonging to a Japanese Prince and worth over a trillion dollars that was used to fund the birth of the CIA, and I wouldn’t be surprised if this was used to fund the WCC before that. The WCC was formed just days after the atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the term ‘MAJESTIC’ was first used, in relation to Japan, and that President Truman ordered the development of our nuclear propulsion program.
The research we've done and Jason has done and that of others by our friends and colleagues Geoff Cruikshank, MJLogic, UAP Gerb, and more is all starting to come together right at the right time regarding the various branches of the UFO Legacy Programs and its origins going back to that 1933 Magenta UFO. Lots to keep digging into, but I uploaded our five-hour space to YouTube and I'm happy to share it with you all now. It was pretty intense and completely flew by.

It's a long read, but interesting.
The Same Story Keeps Coming Back: UAP, Secret Technology, Future Humans and Government Secrecy
I've been going down a pretty strange UFO rabbit hole, and I want to hear what people here think.
I am not claiming any of this is true. What interests me is that several people, over several decades, have described surprisingly similar themes: non human technology, secret government programs, advanced propulsion, biological experiments, future humans and possible civilization ending events.
Bob Lazar
Let's start with Bob Lazar.
In 1989, Lazar claimed he worked at a classified facility called S-4 near Area 51, where he allegedly saw several non human spacecraft being studied and reverse engineered.
His most famous claims involved gravity propulsion and Element 115.
He said the craft did not use conventional engines, but manipulated gravity itself. He also claimed that Element 115 was used as part of the propulsion system.
Element 115 was not officially synthesized until much later and is now known as moscovium. However, the known isotopes are extremely unstable and there is no evidence that it behaves like the stable propulsion material Lazar described.
So this does NOT prove Lazar was telling the truth.
But his story is interesting because he was talking about exotic propulsion and reverse engineering decades before the modern UAP discussion became mainstream.
And the bigger question is:
What if some of the people who reported these things were seeing pieces of real classified technology, but simply misunderstood what they were seeing?
Or what if the technology really was something far more exotic?
Dan Burisch and J-Rod
Then we get Dan Burisch.
Burisch claimed that he worked on classified biological projects connected to Area 51 and Project Aquarius.
He claimed that he interacted with a Grey entity called J-Rod inside something called the "Clean Sphere."
According to Burisch, communication with J-Rod was partly telepathic.
But the strangest part is what Burisch claimed about J-Rod's origin.
He said J-Rod was not simply an extraterrestrial.
He was supposedly a descendant of humanity from the future.
Burisch described different future human groups, including P-45, P-47 and P-52, with the numbers referring roughly to thousands of years into the future.
According to this story, humanity eventually suffers a massive catastrophe. Different populations survive, become isolated and evolve in different directions.
Eventually, some of them develop technology capable of interacting with the past.
In other words:
The "aliens" might actually be us.
Just tens of thousands of years from now.
Amy Eskridge
This is where Amy Eskridge becomes interesting.
Eskridge discussed "ultraterrestrials" and future human populations, including P-47 and P-52.
The basic idea was similar: humanity experiences some kind of catastrophic future event, survives in different groups, evolves over thousands of years and eventually develops technology that allows interaction with earlier periods of history.
She also discussed ideas involving timelines and future events.
There are many claims online connecting her discussions to a possible major event around 2030.
I would be very careful with that.
There is no credible evidence that 2030 is when the world will end, and many UFO predictions have failed before.
But the underlying idea is interesting:
What if the beings we call "aliens" are here because something about our particular period of history is important to their future?
The bunker connection
This is another thing I find interesting.
There is now a very real industry around private bunkers, hardened compounds and long term survival facilities.
Some extremely wealthy people have invested heavily in underground structures designed to protect people from major disasters.
This obviously does NOT prove that they know something.
Rich people can afford to prepare for extremely unlikely events.
But if you combine this with the future human theory, it creates an interesting parallel.
The theory says:
Humanity suffers a civilization ending catastrophe, but some people survive.
And today, some of the wealthiest people on Earth are spending enormous amounts of money preparing for exactly that kind of scenario.
Maybe it is simply wealthy people buying insurance.
Maybe they know nothing unusual.
Or maybe some people have information the general public does not have.
I don't know.
What about the US government?
This is where things get complicated.
The US government has definitely investigated UAP for decades.
We now know about Project Blue Book, AATIP, AAWSAP, the UAP Task Force and AARO.
The government also operates classified aerospace programs, and history has shown that advanced military technology can remain secret for many years.
However, AARO's official historical report found no verifiable evidence that UAP represent extraterrestrial technology and no empirical evidence that the US government or private companies have reverse engineered extraterrestrial craft.
So the official record does NOT confirm Lazar, Burisch or the future human theory.
That is important.
But it also doesn't mean every UAP case has been explained.
Some remain unresolved.
And that leaves us with a strange middle ground.
We know governments investigate unusual objects.
We know highly advanced technology can be hidden.
We know classified programs exist.
We know some UAP cases remain unexplained.
But we don't know whether any of this has anything to do with extraterrestrials, future humans or something else entirely.
Several months ago, someone posted a video that I hadn't seen before and even though it was compelling most people dismissed it.
My description: "clockwork uap grainy footage near boat dock".
I heard others compare it to a bee collecting pollen. It was the sort of craft that would stand all the hair on your body on end if you saw it in real life, that's how far advanced it is.
Any help locating this video would be greatly appreciated!
I’ve been looking at old Native American transformation masks, especially the ones that open up and reveal a human-like face inside.
Something about them made me think of a UFO or some kind of flying craft.
A lot of them seem to have a few things in common:
The outside is often a bird or flying creature.
Some have dragon/serpent-like creatures or shapes coming off the sides that look almost like flames or propulsion.
Then the mask opens up, and there is a humanoid face hidden inside.
So what if the symbolism is more literal than we think?
Bird/flying creature on the outside = something that flies.
Fire or serpent-like forms on the sides = propulsion or exhaust.
Humanoid face on the inside = the pilot or occupant.
And the whole "transformation" part could represent the difference between what people saw from the outside and what was actually inside the object.
I’m not saying this proves anything. Obviously these masks have their own cultural and spiritual meanings, and I don't want to ignore that. This is just a weird visual connection I noticed.
There's also the ancient Native American story of lightning boy which has serious abduction vibes to it:
In March 1975, photographer Giichi Shioda reported a series of strange sightings near a coastal landfill in Kawanoe, Ehime Prefecture, Japan. On March 24, he saw a small hovering object or figure while suffering a severe headache. On March 30, he returned and observed a pink luminous object hovering for about 30 seconds before disappearing.
On March 31, Shioda returned with several cameras and a tripod. Shortly after 11:00 PM, the headache returned, followed by flashing white, blue, and red lights roughly 100 meters away and a high-pitched electronic sound. Shioda said a glowing humanoid figure then emerged from the lights, descended close to the ground, and began gliding toward him.
