What it Means To Be Human

What happens when the U.S. Military hires you to be a psychic spy?

In this episode, former U.S. Army analyst, Paul H. Smith, shares his unbelievable story of being recruited into the government’s secret parapsychology program, better known as Project Stargate.

From reading sci-fi books to scoring off the charts on classified aptitude tests, he walks us through what it was really like inside the military’s remote viewing program.

We dive into:

• How he was recruited into the top-secret ‘psychic spy’ unit at Fort Meade

• What a day at Stargate looked like - including operational sessions targeting real-world cold war threats

• The ‘Men in Black’ moment and signing extreme non-disclosure agreements

• The Joe Rogan story: What happened when he tried to teach remote viewing to Rogan on TV

• Why the military shifted from coordinates to random numbers

• Is the U.S. government still using psychic spies today?

Is the Pentagon hiding a joint military operation right above our heads?In this episode, we sit down with legendary Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski to expose the truth about how Canada and the US are secretly tracking anomalous objects together.
While the world looks at Roswell and Area 51, the real secrets might be hiding north of the border. We dive deep into classified NORAD files, the joint US-Canada shoot-downs over the Yukon, and why the Canadian government has a complete record of the “black hole” years where the US military went quiet. 
From the radioactive physical evidence of the Falcon Lake incident to the 23 secret objects tracked by NORAD in just three months, this is the side of UFO disclosure you’ve never been told.

In 1985, a night after Christmas in an isolated cabin in upstate New York, author and experiencer Whitley Strieber’s life changed forever. He awoke to find himself in a room full of non-human intelligence, an event that shattered his reality and ignited a lifelong, complex journey into the heart of the phenomenon.

In this episode, Dan sits down with Whitley  to discuss his abduction experience, the profound, often harrowing reality of life as an experiencer, and how he has navigated the ‘initiatory’ nature of these encounters for over four decades.

Whitley shares the intimate, often surreal details of his interactions with the visitors, the role his late wife Ann played in bridging the gap between life and death, and why he believes the current, state-led disclosure process is inherently flawed.

In this conversation, they explore:
The phenomenon of ‘electroleptic fits’ and why high-strangeness events frequently disrupt electronics in the presence of experiencers.
Why the ‘nuts and bolts’ UFO disclosure narrative often fails to account for the consciousness and afterlife connections that are central to these events.
The ‘Master of the Key’: An encounter with a mysterious figure in a Toronto hotel room that offered a chillingly accurate preview of the risks and promises of machine intelligence.
Why the rigid, materialistic approach of current disclosure efforts misses the nuanced, often terrifying, yet ultimately transformative nature of the human experience.
Whitley’s profound definition of what it actually means to be a human being in a reality that is far more mysterious than we are told.

If you have ever felt that the official story of UAPs is only scratching the surface, and that the real truth lies at the intersection of consciousness, grief, and the unknown, this conversation is essential listening.

The ‘Collins Elite’ is one of the most polarizing terms in the UFO community, often used as a blanket explanation for why high-ranking officials want to keep the truth in the dark. But what if the reality is much more tactical than we’ve been led to believe?

At the world’s biggest UFO conference (Contact in the Desert), Dan sat down with researcher Jason Samosa, who shares his journey from studying for the ministry to uncovering the geopolitical and religious intersections of the UFO phenomenon.

They explore their personal struggles with faith, and how powerful networks of religious and political elites use it, and our foundational institutions, against us to control the UAP narrative and influence the world at large.

They dive deep into:
• The Genesis of Secrecy: How a 1950s Pentagon program evolved into a sophisticated control system designed to weaponize religious ideology (the ‘UFOs = demons’ hypothesis) and suppress the UFO reality.

• The Great Schism: The clash between our desire for scientific truth and the inflexible nature of ancient religious institutions that refuse to grow.

• The ‘Family’ Connection: Why some of the most influential figures in government networks intentionally lean into apocalyptic narratives to prevent the public from questioning the status quo.

• The Cost of Disclosure: Why a complete shift in our understanding of the universe might be seen as a direct threat to the financial and political systems that rely on our current worldviews.

• Seeing Through Power Systems: Jason discusses how his own path, from evangelical study to navigating Washington D.C., has highlighted why the ultimate truth may never come from the government, but from our own ability to see through traditional power systems.

It turns out that in the battle for disclosure, the biggest threat to the truth is the weaponization of our own faith.

What it Means to Be Human is a Double Barrel Production

This week on The Signal, Dan, Roz & Dale are joined by Kelly and Sam from Frightday for a wide-ranging live conversation about UFO disclosure, Contact in the Desert, Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, and one very suspicious light in the desert sky.
The crew breaks down the latest push from David Grusch, lawmakers, journalists, and researchers calling for the U.S. government to declassify what it knows about UAP, non-human intelligence, biologics, legacy programs, and crash retrievals. Is this a historic pressure campaign, or are we still stuck in the same cycle of speeches, promises, and “trust us, bro” disclosure?
They also look ahead to Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and ask whether the film could become a cultural tipping point for the UFO conversation — or simply a great summer blockbuster with a lot of familiar lore baked in.
Then, Dan shares highlights from Contact in the Desert, including conversations with Thomas Jane, Joshua Cutchin, Paul H. Smith, Matthew Brown, Jason Samosa, Sarah Gamm, Jeremy Corbell, and more. The group talks about the strange magic of the conference, the people behind the movement, Jacques Vallée’s final public appearance, and what it feels like when the UFO world stops being an online conversation and becomes a room full of actual humans.
And, of course, there’s UFO or UF-No — featuring footage Dan filmed during a desert skywatch with the Skywatcher team. Was it anomalous? Was it consciousness contact? Or was it… Starlink?
You already know the universe has jokes.
Remember to be curious - the universe is bigger than we know!
