Long before satellites circled the planet, strange objects appeared in Earth’s skies—metallic, intelligent, and impossible to categorize. This Deep Dive untangles the conspiracy theories, photographic anomalies, and geopolitical motives buried inside decades of UFO reports. Keith Malinak, Brad Staggs, and Kelly Smith track the pattern intelligence agencies ignored: Cold War secrecy, 1950s sky plates, underwater UAP sightings, the Washington Flap, and the troubling correlation between UFO activity and nuclear testing.

With humor, skepticism, and uncomfortably good research, the team pulls threads through the Age of Disclosure, the rise of modern UAP reporting, and the lingering questions surrounding major historical flashpoints, including moments from the WTC timeline that still divide audiences. Even Baby Nostradamus shows up at Barfly 8 with his scroll—because apparently the universe wanted a witness.

If UFOs really are watching nuclear sites, the question becomes: Why now?

If this episode makes you rethink the official story, share the Deep Dive with someone who still trusts the paperwork.
