Notas del episodio

In this episode of "Reality Check," Ross Coulthart sits down with professor Matthew Szydagis, an astroparticle physicist at the University at Albany SUNY, who was recently appointed to the UAP Science Advisory Council for the White House and federal agencies. Szydagis describes what the council can and cannot do without security clearances, including the more than 50 declassification requests its members have already filed and names the Varginha UFO case as the one he most wants disclosed.


He walks Coulthart through the energy a Tic Tac maneuver would demand, and why he treats the claim that interstellar distances are too great as a misreading of relativity rather than a limit on visitation. He also gives a detailed account of his ongoing testing of one of the Art's Parts samples entrusted to him by Tom DeLonge and Hal Puthoff, including the millimeter-scale holes that point toward a human origin. The harassment that followed came not from debunkers but from people who want the sample to be alien, and he says it has been worse than anything skeptics have sent him.
