UFO Disclosure Part 9: What is the Truth? - Episode One (2024)
Are all these craft coming from other galaxies, or other dimensions? What is The Truth about the UFO phenomenon? There are only two paradigms one can embrace. The first, which is sacrosanct in New Age circles, is that these so-called “aliens” are our space brothers from far away planets like Epsilon Eridani. They are here to help us evolve to the next level! The second position, and one that we hold sacrosanct is that these “intruders” – as Gary Stearman likes to call them – are nefarious entities from another dimension, specifically the second heaven, and they have a very dark agenda. These beings are the Fallen Ones, the Watchers of long ago. You will hear from a variety of researchers and authors on both-sides-of-the-isle regarding this curious but troubling issue. In the end we all must choose a side as the UFO phenomenon is real, burgeoning and NOT going away.

The Cote Photo (2026)
To many investigators, this photo has become known as the best official UFO photo ever made public. This image has endured decades of scrutiny and, if anything, has grown more relevant over time. As governments around the world begin to acknowledge and declassify UFO/UAP encounters, the Cote photo feels less like an anomaly and more like an early glimpse into a much larger, still-unfolding story. It continues to fascinate researchers and the public alike—and raises the possibility that more images like it remain hidden, classified, or yet to be released. With Sergio Loaiza as his guide, attorney Esteban Carranza explores how encounters with the unknown transform identity and belief.
