This Sunday (July 5, 1PM PT): Dr. Eric Davis, the astrophysicist who worked the Pentagon's UFO program and briefed Congress on "off-world vehicles not made on this earth," takes your questions live
Dr. Eric Davis is joining The Good Trouble Show for a live Q&A this Sunday. Davis is a theoretical and applied physicist, a former Aerospace Corporation researcher, and a Senior Science Advisor at EarthTech. He worked on the Pentagon's AAWSAP program, authored several of its Defense Intelligence Reference Documents, and is the source behind the Wilson-Davis memo.
We will cover crash retrievals and the legacy program, the Wilson-Davis memo and who controls access, what the president actually knows, AAWSAP and AATIP, Skinwalker Ranch, non-human intelligence, and the disclosure fight in Congress. He is a corroborating witness alongside David Grusch.

This Sunday (June 28, 1PM PT): Steve Aspin on the alien implant he coughed up, the forensic lab analysis, and the beings he says now look human | Part 2
Part 2 of my conversation with alien abduction researcher Steve Aspin premieres on YouTube this Sunday, June 28 at 1 PM PT, and I'll be in the live chat. In Part 1 he told his own story; Part 2 is the physical evidence: the implants podiatric surgeon Dr. Roger Leir removed from abductees (19 of 20 anomalous, one analyzed by a nanotech lab and reported to contain iridium and carbon nanotubes), the implant Steve himself coughed up and lost down the sink, the four types of beings he describes (small and tall grays, reptilians, and mantids), and his claim that transgenic beings who look exactly like humans have begun replacing the grays. We close on the book of his that was pulled from Amazon overnight in 2023.
Why a professional skeptic doesn't belong on Avi Loeb's new UAP Science Advisory Council
Michael Shermer was given a seat on Dr. Avi Loeb's new UAP Science Advisory Council. In this monologue I explain why I won't platform Shermer, using the one story that makes the case better than any argument: my own mother's.
Six months before she passed, she told me about a close-range craft sighting she witnessed at 15 and hid for her entire adult life out of fear of ridicule. I recorded her account and she identified the craft and the occupant from lineup drawings. She never told her family because she was certain they'd think she was crazy. That stigma is what professional skepticism manufactures, and it's why I don't think Shermer belongs on a panel built to collect exactly the kind of testimony his career discourages.
Steve Aspin, a retired medical-device inventor and author of Out of Time, describes a 1972 encounter at a Cheshire building site: two hours of missing time and a flying saucer seen through a glassless window that he says exactly matched Bob Lazar's Area 51 "sport model" drawing, which would not be public for another five decades. In Part 1 of his conversation with Matt Ford he also traces the origins of modern abduction research through Budd Hopkins and David Jacobs.
Hey r/UFOs - Matt Ford here, host of The Good Trouble Show.
Avi Loeb recently announced he was tasked by the White House, AARO, ODNI, and the FBI to assemble and lead a new UAP Science Advisory Council. Liberation Times has since reported that his council is one of several outside expert groups advising a new interagency UAP Governance Board (ODNI / FBI / War Department), which reportedly held its first meeting this week. Loeb also told Michael Shellenberger that the council has no access to classified information and no legal authority.
He's joining me live tomorrow to walk through what this body actually is, how it fits into the bigger disclosure picture, and where it goes next - and the back half of the show is an open audience Q&A.
Bring your questions!!

Radar data is old hat. The real UAP story is the legacy program, the black budget hidden under it, and the retaliation against the whistleblowers who tried to expose it.
For years the entire disclosure conversation has been about prying the government's sensor data loose. Radar returns, satellite imagery, the readouts from the big strategic radars. Get the telemetry released, the thinking goes, and the truth follows.
That argument is old hat. We are long past the question of whether something is in our skies. That much has been established, including in sworn testimony before Congress. Demanding more telemetry now is fighting a war that is already over, while the real one goes unfought.
The elephant in the room is the UAP legacy program. The decades-long effort to retrieve and reverse engineer recovered craft, hidden from the public and from all but a handful of people in Congress. Everything that actually matters sits underneath it.
Under it is the money. A black budget no one can account for, funding programs walled off from the very committees the Constitution charges with overseeing them. No audits. No accountability. That is the textbook definition of fraud, waste, and abuse, run on the public's dime.
And under it is the retaliation. David Grusch went through the legal process. He filed a complaint the intelligence community's own inspector general found credible and urgent. He testified under oath. And he described the effort to silence people as administrative terrorism. He is not the exception. He is the public face of a pattern, and in my own reporting I have spoken with others, some who can be named and some who cannot, who describe the same machinery protecting this program and punishing the people who try to expose it.
So here is my honest question for this community: why are we still litigating sensor data? Radar returns will not tell the public what these objects are, who recovered them, where the money went, or why people who tried to tell the truth had their lives destroyed. That is the story. The sky is the distraction. The crime is on the ground.
What am I missing?
Avi Loeb's new "UAP Science Advisory Council" (the one announced alongside the White House / AARO / ODNI / FBI) now lists Michael Shermer — founder of Skeptic magazine and the Skeptics Society.
This isn't "skeptics are bad." It's that Shermer has already publicly pre-judged the exact question the council exists to investigate, and has spent years mocking the witnesses it's supposed to evaluate. His own posts — all still up, all verifiable:
His doctorate is in the history of science (not a natural-science field), and his magazine/career are built on debunking claims like these — a professional stake in the answer being "no." Across 90+ posts over five years about these witnesses, his stance is uniformly dismissive.
For the UFO-history nerds: this rhymes with the Condon Committee of 1968 — a "science" study widely seen as built to dismiss UFOs before it began, still cited to wave the topic away. Seat a committed skeptic on a panel and you risk Condon 2.0.
The Good Trouble Show laid out the full case and asked the administration to reconsider the seat here → GoodTroubleShow tweet
Genuine question for discussion: is someone with a public wager against the phenomenon, and a documented record of calling the witnesses delusional, the right person to "objectively weigh the evidence"? Not an argument the council shouldn't exist — just that one seat undercuts its credibility before it reviews a thing.
After Tuesday's bipartisan UAP press conference (David Grusch, Reps. Luna, Burlison, Burchett, and Moskowitz, with Leslie Kean and James Fox), Ancient Aliens host Giorgio Tsoukalos posted that the participants were pushing "verbal diarrhea of 'irrefutable evidence' WITHOUT any receipts" and called them part of a decades-long disinformation campaign.
The quoted phrase was checked against a diarized transcript plus five independent recordings of the full event (FOX 10 Phoenix, DRM News, NewsNation, Reuters, DWS News): zero occurrences of "irrefutable" from any speaker. The closest real-world language is the event press release's "conclusive files." What Grusch actually said on the steps was the opposite of trust-me: "Disclosure should not depend on leaks. It should not depend on the public taking my word for it or anyone else's," alongside a call for DIA to route withheld records through mandatory declassification review.
Also on the record: per the official GPO transcript of the July 26, 2023 House Oversight hearing (Serial No. 53-022), Grusch testified the retaliation against him was "very brutal and very unfortunate," described "active planned reprisal activity," and called the practice "administrative terrorism." On June 9 he revealed the Air Force sought an Espionage Act investigation over his 2023 congressional testimony.
Full breakdown (The Good Trouble Show monologue): https://youtu.be/utijOqWUGPw
Eric Mitchell, the subject of the 2025 documentary "Experiencer," joins The Good Trouble Show to walk through his 2013 close encounter in rural Arkansas: a 40-foot orange sphere, an energy-beam strike, the onset of savant syndrome, marks on his children's skin, and what he describes as sustained surveillance of his family by unmarked Black Hawk helicopters. Host Matt Ford focuses less on the lights in the sky and more on the accountability question - a U.S. citizen says his government watched and harassed his family.
Premieres Sunday, June 7 at 1:00 PM PT
The investigation we broke in the Daily Mail - exposing a classified CIA office, the Office of Global Access, that our sources said recovers crashed UAP around the world - has been quietly deleted from their site. It was live for years. Now it's gone, and the way it was removed is its own story.
In this monologue I break down what the dead link's error code suggests about how it was pulled, why the timing lines up with the government's recent UAP releases, what happened to me in Las Vegas six hours after we published, and why I'm calling for Church Committee-style hearings in the Senate.

Today the U.S. Department of War published "Release 02" of its PURSUE UAP records on war.gov - 64 records (51 video, 7 audio, 6 documents) compiled by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office in response to a March 6, 2026 request from eight members of the House for potentially UAP-related material held by the Department of War and the Intelligence Community.
By AARO's own account the evidentiary picture is mixed. The office states that many records "lack a substantiated chain-of-custody," and several videos carry an explicit notice that the media was "digitally altered prior to its upload to a classified network." The most-discussed item, DOW-UAP-PR071, is described by AARO as "a kinetic interaction between two distinct areas of contrast" and "a high-energy event" - the uploader-given title frames it as an F-16 shooting down a UAP over Lake Huron on February 12, 2023, but AARO does not itself characterize it that way.
The release is not only video. It includes ODNI-UAP-D001, a first-hand account from a currently serving senior U.S. intelligence official describing "glowing orbs" seen from a helicopter near a military facility in late 2025; a 116-page file documenting 209 UAP sightings around Sandia Base, New Mexico between 1948 and 1950; and a 1973 CIA report describing a sighting inside the Soviet Union. All underlying records are public and reviewable at war.gov.
Sarah Gamm is a former DoD UAP Task Force analyst with a background in astrophysics. She is coming back to The Good Trouble Show this Sunday for her second appearance to walk through the 28 declassified UFO files the Trump administration released on May 8 through the new PURSUE system.
We will also be discussing the Popular Mechanics feature that ran on her this week, which covers her 2012 near-death experience during a routine surgery and how she has been integrating that with her intelligence work since.
Audience Q&A throughout the show.

Former Obama Pentagon appointee Marik von Rennenkampff publishes new analysis falsifying every Mick West debunk of the 2015 Gimbal UFO video
Marik von Rennenkampff served as a political appointee at the U.S. Department of Defense under Secretaries Panetta and Hagel, then as an analyst at the State Department's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation. He co-authored AIAA 2023-4101 / arXiv 2306.08773 on the Gimbal video with Yannick Peings (UC Irvine).
This week he released a 20-minute analysis that methodically dismantles every prosaic explanation Mick West has offered for Gimbal:
- The Gimbal object was 6 to 8 nautical miles from the F-18 that recorded it (close, not the 30+ miles claimed by Mick West).
- Stabilized footage shows the targeting pod camera panning downward as the jet closes in.
- The 3D flight path reconstruction matches Lt. Ryan Graves' radar memory to the second, including a vertical U-turn with altitude climb at the end.
- Object size: ~15-20 feet across. No wings, no engine, no exhaust plume. Moving against 120-knot winds.
- The ATFLIR patent holder told Marik in phone calls and emails that the camera does NOT operate the way Mick West's distant-jet theory claims.
- Top academic experts in indium antimonide infrared sensors agree.
- Confronted with the analysis on his own MetaBunk forum, Mick West dismissed it while admitting in the same post that he had not watched it in full.
- Sean Kirkpatrick, former AARO director, told Marik twice that the video shows a balloon reflecting the sun. It was recorded at night.
