and a Deathbed Alien Encounter
In this episode of That UFO Podcast, Andy is joined by constitutional lawyer and New Paradigm Institute president Danny Sheehan for a wide-ranging conversation on UFO secrecy and the current state of disclosure.
Sheehan explains why he believes Congress already holds the constitutional authority to declassify UFO information, how whistleblower protections could change the landscape, and why public pressure is now a critical factor in forcing transparency.
The discussion also touches on testimony involving a deathbed confession of an alleged encounter with a non-human entity, a moment that raises deeper questions about how such accounts should be understood, evaluated, and preserved.
A serious, timely conversation about power, secrecy, and why Sheehan believes meaningful disclosure may be closer than ever.
As always, this episode presents testimony and analysis — not proof — and invites listeners to draw their own conclusions.
