This episode dives deep into one of the most unsettling and enigmatic figures in American history, James Forrestal, the first U.S. Secretary of Defense, whose descent into paranoia and suspicious death still sparks intense speculation. Was Forrestal silenced over what he knew?
Historian and researcher Richard Dolan shares how a single book launched his decades-long investigation into the UFO phenomenon, unraveling hidden threads in our historical narrative. We explore the infamous Majestic Documents, the debated authenticity surrounding them, and post WWII factions between the Air Force & Navy.
The conversation moves into the murky waters of military secrecy, disinformation, and how researchers, often ridiculed and dismissed, have paid a steep personal and professional price for chasing the truth. At the heart of it all lies the reality-shattering nature of UFOs, where events like the Pascagoula abduction, backed by police recordings and credible witnesses, pierce through layers of denial and control.
