Is the famous “Tic Tac” a home-grown technology? In this deep-dive, Martin Willis sits down with mathematician and technologist Joshua Bertrand to explore the cutting edge—and century-long history—of America’s lighter-than-air programs, vacuum-based aerogels, and the black-budget pathways that may intersect with the Nimitz Incident. Bertrand (B.Math, University of Waterloo; Computer Science honors; former EA/industry engineer) has spent nearly a decade cross-referencing open sources, defense programs, and material-science breakthroughs.

701. David Marler

Join Martin Willis in a groundbreaking conversation with Jensine Andresen, PhD, a scholar whose work bridges religion, philosophy, ethics, and the mysteries of UFO/UAP and extraterrestrial intelligence (ETI). In this interview, we explore: What “Acculturation with ETI” means and why it matters for humanity’s future. How UAP and ETI discussions intersect with geopolitics, including the risks and realities tied to nuclear weapons. Why our current data-centric and militarized approach to the phenomenon may blind us to deeper truths. Why Dr. Andresen is adamant the visitors are extraterrestrial—and the theoretical mechanisms she believes could allow them to traverse the vast distances to reach us. The potential for creative engagement with ETI to transform human institutions, ethics, and global society. Dr. Andresen challenges conventional thinking and offers bold perspectives on how contact with ETI could reshape not only our science, but also our politics, spirituality, and collective future.

700. Jensine Andresen

In this episode, Martin Willis speaks with producer Nugent Cantileno, who shares a remarkable story from his early career as a Fox News intern in 2009. While working on an Apollo 11 documentary, Nugent accidentally came across raw NASA footage that seemed to capture something extraordinary—audio of an astronaut mentioning a UFO and visuals of a perfectly round, fast-moving object crossing Earth’s surface. Nugent describes the moment he realized he wasn’t supposed to see the clip, how his skeptical boss reacted, and his later attempts to track down the same footage online. He also shares his broader thoughts on UFOs, from interdimensional and spiritual interpretations to the role of AI in modern disclosure, plus his own personal sightings. This conversation goes beyond one startling tape—it’s about how personal experience, research, and changing attitudes have shaped Nugent’s perspective on the UFO/UAP mystery.

699. Nugent Cantileno

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear In August 1979, a case out of Minnesota that was chock full of trace evidence, including physical effects displayed by the witness in the aftermath, was investigated by Allen Hendry for the Center for UFO Studies. The incident and the related activity are described two days afterwards in the August 29, 1979, edition of the local Warren, Minnesota, Sheaf.According to the article (page 8 of the pdf) headlined “Deputy Johnson Stunned by UFO Monday Morning,” Marshall County Deputy Sheriff Val Johnson was in his patrol car about 11 miles west of Stephen, Minnesota, headed south on TH 220 just before 1:30 am when he saw a bright light about a mile away, hovering over the road. Thinking it might be an aircraft in distress, he sped up.As he did so, the light came towards him, and as it filled the interior of the car, he heard the sound of glass breaking. He lost consciousness and remembered nothing of about 40 minutes after that. The Warren Sheriff’s office received a 1088 (officer in distress) from Johnson at 2:19 am, and he is described as having sounded rational but disoriented. When he was asked about his situation he said, “Something just hit my car – strange. Something attacked my car – brakes locked up. I don’t know what is going on.” He was asked if he needed an ambulance and replied, “I don’t think so. I don’t think I’m leaking blood. My eyes hurt.” Read more →

AudioBlog: The 1979 UFO Case of Val Johnson

This is the last of a three-part series of blogs covering the case of an Italian security guard (with the company Val Bisagno), Piero Fortunato Zanfretta, who reported a number of encounters with UFOs and their occupants. After the first incident, he described in conscious recall being confronted by “an enormous green, ugly and frightful creature, with undulating skin, no less than ten feet tall.” Under hypnosis the story came out that he was taken up into a craft where he was interrogated and examined by as many as ten creatures “about 10 feet tall, with hairy green skin, yellow triangular eyes and red veins across the forehead” with metal strips over their mouths. He said they told him they were from the “third galaxy,” wanted to talk to the people of Earth, and would return soon in greater numbers. Italian journalist Rino Di Stefano became interested in the case, stuck with it, and wrote a book about it titled The Zanfretta Case, first published in Italian in 1984 and then in English in 2014. The reader can refer to his website promoting the book for most of the information. What makes this case unique is that there is corroborating evidence in the form of possible landing traces, giant footprints, witness testimony from his co-workers, and observations made during the investigation by the Italian military police known there as the Carabinieri.

AudioBlog Part III The Case of Piero Fortunato Zanfretta

In the last blog, we looked at the first two UFO and occupant encounters reported by Italian security guard Piero Fortunato Zanfretta. The case was investigated by the Carabinieri (Italian Military Police) and evidence was found in the form of possible landing traces in the first and second instances with the addition of huge footprints in the second. In conscious recall, Zanfretta described encountering “an enormous green, ugly and frightful creature, with undulating skin, no less than ten feet tall.” Under hypnosis after the first instance, he said he was taken to a bright, hot place and examined by “monsters about 10 feet tall, with hairy green skin, yellow triangular eyes and red veins across the forehead” (he also described them having metal strips over their mouths) that told him they were from the “third galaxy,” wanted to talk to the people of Earth, and would return soon in greater numbers. Italian journalist Rino Di Stefano became interested in the case, stuck with it, and wrote a book about it titled The Zanfretta Case, first published in Italian in 1984 and then in English in 2014. The reader can refer to his website promoting the book for most of the information. Read more →

AudioBlog: PART II: The Case of Piero Fortunato Zanfretta

In the last couple of blogs, we looked at the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena 1978 UFO Chronology, which was unusual for the large number of humanoid reports with space suits, helmets and antennas in the descriptions. We also noted that there seemed to have been a flap in Italy in December and that one case listed that month is worthy of individual attention. The principal witness/experiencer was Piero Fortunato Zanfretta, and his story was investigated by Italian journalist Rino Di Stefano, who wrote a book about it that he published in 2014 titled The Zanfretta Case.

AudioBlog: The Case of Piero Fortunato Zanfretta

It has been determined by many researchers in the scientific community that during hypnosis, false memories are very likely to be generated, and distinguishing them from real memories is difficult, if not impossible without some means of confirmation. This is, for instance, the conclusion of a report for the U.S. Department of Justice by Martin T. Orne et al. titled “Hypnotically Refreshed Testimony: Enhanced Memory or Tampering with Evidence?” published January 1985 in Issues and Practices in Criminal Justice. With the above in mind, it is helpful for researchers attempting to evaluate a case when a distinction can be made between elements of the report derived from conscious recall and elements derived through the use of hypnosis. A case where this can be easily done is that of Judy Kendell of Zamora, California, thanks to a newspaper article announcing her intention to undergo hypnosis to recover around four hours of missing time, and another article in a different paper after the procedure, which was, apparently, well attended.

AudioBlog: Conscious Recall vs Hypnotic Regression

Coming up on the 50th anniversary of his November 5, 1975 encounter, Travis Walton joins host Martin Willis to reflect on five decades of scrutiny, support, and unanswered questions—and to preview the Skyfire Summit in Sedona, Arizona, October 17–20, 2025. We discuss the original events in the Apache-Sitgreaves National Forest, the aftermath for the logging crew, polygraph tests and media storms, evolving interpretations over the years, and what Travis hopes researchers, experiencers, and the public will take away from this milestone gathering. We also cover Skyfire Summit programming, speakers, and how attendees can participate.
Topics:
• 1975 timeline & what holds up after 50 years
• Crew testimony, polygraphs, and persistent myths
• What to expect at Skyfire Summit (Sedona, Oct 17–20, 2025)
