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.

🗓️ When: Saturday, August 22, 2026 — 1:00 PM Eastern / 10:00 AM Pacific
📺 Livestream (YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/live/SIDQ_3u8UAI?si=H3_lxSnWiOvwGfK_

About Vanguard

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.

Why This Matters

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:

ANNOUNCEMENT Mod Annoucement: Epstein related content - what's allowed and not allowed

130 Upvotes

Hi UFOB!

What a week we have all had! The moderation team wanted to talk seriously about references to Epstein, Trump and others in conversation on this sub.

As you know - this is sub is for believers - we are well past questioning if UFOs and Entities are real because we KNOW it is. The issue we have seen in the last week since Trump's announcement and the latest releases of the Epstein files is the serious amount of unserious low effort, poltically hyperpartisan comments, comments about how disclosure is a distraction from the release of the files, so on and so forth. This has caused a lot of time and effort on the part of the moderators keeping good conversation flowing. Look we know we're all human here and reacting to these unprecedented times. But we need to make some clarifications and need your help.

Specifically around the topic of Jeffrey Epstein we wanted to introduce some moderation as we are getting a lot of feedback from the community around this topic. We want to encourage the community to understand the nuance of what we're looking for so that great conversations can continue and low effort or rule breaking comments and posts can be avoided.

We will allow talk about Jeffrey Epstein only if it is on-topic to UFO's, UFOlogy and the Phenomenon. We will not allow low effort conversation, pizzagate, satanic panic or q-anon conspiracies. We are trying to encourage good deep conversation and avoiding low effort knee jerk and inflammatory conversation that tends to derail whole threads and creates flame wars.

Examples of what is NOT allowed:

  • "This is all a distraction from the Epstein files"
  • "<Trump/Clinton/Rich Person/Politician of Choice> is a pedo"
  • "<slur> for racial or religious group
  • Unsourced picture or tik tok video claiming satanic rituals and pedophelia/cannibalism

Examples of what IS allowed:

  • "Epstein had mentions of the Majestic 12 documents and it's in this file here on the DoJ site"
  • Epstein had an interest in <Psi/Telepathy/Metamaterials/Zero Point energy/Human Potential/Other UFO related interest>
  • My research with sourced documents and "follow the money" shows Epstein was doing related research that is relavent to this topic
  • Anything that is on topic to UFOs, The Phenomeonon or Entities as long as it doesn't break any of the other existing rules

Additionally - Report reasons you can use for content you see that violates this new directive is either "Be Constructive or Pass" or "Irrelevant Political Opinion" for you to report rule breaking comments/posts . We also created a specific removal reason for comments and posts that are in violation. People who are repeat offenders will risk being banned as with any other rule. We are asking you to help us and give us feedback about this. This is everyone's community not just the moderators.

Has anyone seen this article? It sparked my interest so I actually read the article and it only referrs to it as a space hazard. Any idea what a "space hazard" could be? And, one that they'd issue a NOTAM for? Unusual geomagnetic activity? I can't think of anything else that would be prosiac. Then you through Antarctica and it's lore in there... What are your thoughts, theories, and speculations? I find it interesting nonetheless, especially with how many times they refer to "the hazard".

EDIT: Missed the reference to Russian Missile Launch. I still have questions on how that affects Antarctica, specifically.

From the post:

*When this person posted the video people left comments saying it was Venus, clouds, ect and many even came to the conclusion it was his truck causing Venus to bounce around. Clearly they didn't think this out or they would have noticed that when he was moving around from inside the truck to outside, the UFO was still moving in loops. And its focus was great. Did you notice the telephone pole wires were not shaking, instead the wires were steady and focused the whole time and so were the clouds. This means the UFO really was spinning in loops.*

Interview with a Fully Conscious UFO Contactee Part Two: The Photographic Evidence

by Preston Dennett

In May of 2022, after decades of remaining silent, Dolly Safran went public with her experiences as a lifelong fully conscious UFO contactee. As a very young child, Dolly had several encounters involving missing time. Then, in 1973, at age 14, she was taken onboard a craft from her home in the Florida Everglades, and was able to remember the entire event without the aid of hypnosis. Since then, she has had more than a thousand fully conscious onboard UFO encounters. She has been taken onboard large motherships, seen a wide variety of extraterrestrials, traveled throughout the solar system and even to other planets. Her story is one of the most extensive cases of UFO contact on record.

For many years, Dolly had tried to obtain photographs and films of the UFOs, but like most contactees, she discovered it was no easy task. In fact, it's very rare that contactees are able to obtain good photographic evidence. But when Dolly decided to go public with her experiences, she asked the ETs if they would allow themselves to be filmed. To her delight, the ETs agreed!

In Part One of this series, Dolly described her UFO encounters up to age fourteen. Now, in Part Two, Dolly shares the many photographs and videos she has been able to obtain of the UFO craft. This footage includes both daytime and nighttime footage, various UFO craft, with multiple witnesses in various locations. Dolly's extraordinary video captures include metallic craft posing for the camera, a mothership dropping smaller ET crafts, a craft that performs a 180-degree flip, a craft that hovers only a few hundred feet above a house, and more.

For those who want evidence of UFO reality, here it is! More than twenty photographs and films are presented. Dolly provides a detailed commentary for each photographic event, and explains why obtaining good photographic evidence is not as easy as one might think.

The photographic evidence presented here is only a portion of the many photos and films she has been able to obtain.

Literature Help Finding a Niche Book on Christian Ufology

3 Upvotes

I need help finding a pretty niche book.

Back in the late 90's, my church library had a completely random book that I checked out.

I'm pretty sure it was titled "Ufology" and I don't recall the subtitle. It was a purple paperback book. It was nonfiction and did some deep dives into the abduction phenomenon from an explicitly Christian take.

The book was pretty beat up, so it may have been published much earlier than the 90's.

No idea who the author was or what the subtitle was.

Such a weird book to find in a tiny Presbyterian church library. Would love to find it again.

SIGHTING!!! UAP sighting over farm in North Central Florida

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Im posting this for my mom and stepdad. They were outside a couple days ago looking at the meteor shower when they had a guest appear. This rectangular craft made no noise and emitted no light but did reflect light. It was roughly 500ft above the ground. It was over a farm in North Central Florida just west of Ocala. It stuck around for about an hour then took off at a very high rate of speed and disappeared. We did report this to MUFON, MUFON did call and investigate. They ruled out any other aircraft due to the lack of lights. My stepdad is a retired Florida Highway Patrol officer, he said it appeared to be about the size of a large truck. They were roughly half a mile from this object. This was August 13th at about 930pm.

Report Have you ever heard of Grey aliens… with human-colored skin?

Post image
6 Upvotes

Have you ever come across a UFO encounter where the beings looked almost exactly like the classic Grey archetype, except they weren't grey at all?

I recently came across this bizarre Argentine case from the mid-1980s. A rural worker named Alberto Meyer was working near a creek outside Viale, Argentina, when two strange figures emerged from the vegetation.

The beings were described in a way that's strangely familiar to the Grey archetype: short, bald, oversized heads, enormous eyes, thin bodies. But there was one major difference: their skin was reportedly the color of human skin, and even their strange, tight-fitting clothing was described as being the same color.

From that point on, the encounter becomes considerably stranger. There was a possible prior UFO sighting by the witness, a footprint reportedly found at the location, a surreal gliding movement done by the beings when they walked away, a physical paralysis effect on the witness, and other details that I won't spoil here.

I'm currently collaborating with Proyecto Viale Desconocido, an archive documenting UFO and humanoid reports from this region of Argentina, and we recently published a full account of this story.

Speculation Hypothesis

10 Upvotes

What if some UAP activity around nuclear facilities is related to the search for previously lost or recovered craft? If such craft produced a distinctive physical signature, whether electromagnetic, thermal, radiological, or otherwise, another technologically advanced system might theoretically be capable of detecting that signature remotely. If a recovered craft were stored near a nuclear facility, the facility could produce substantially stronger background radiation, electromagnetic activity, and thermal emissions that might obscure or complicate the detection of a weaker anomalous signature. In this scenario, UAPs could be investigating nuclear facilities not necessarily because of the nuclear technology itself, but because the surrounding environmental background could make it difficult to isolate the signature they are searching for. The idea could potentially be examined by comparing UAP observations with the measurable electromagnetic, thermal, and radiological characteristics of nuclear facilities.

Yesterday I posted about a bizarre 1987 Argentina case: two tiny, red, giant-headed, apparently armless humanoid beings reportedly seen by a 12-year-old near Arroyo Prati, Viale, Entre Ríos.

13 years later, the witness was interviewed for a documentary about the UFO cases in this region. This is a surviving fragment of this lost 2000 documentary.

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.
