Bryce Zabel and Richard Dolan on Jay Stratton’s book Out of the Shadows and his account of U.S. intelligence work on UFOs and UAP.
In this episode of Need to Know they look at Stratton’s revelations, his personal experiences, and what his decision to come forward could mean for disclosure. The conversation covers his influence on modern UAP investigations, his connections in the intelligence community, and the role he played in bringing the subject into public and congressional view, including claims about non-human intelligence, advanced technology, and alleged secret government programs.

SpaceWeatherNews on what the episode calls the worst pole-shift news, tied to a solar record. The first linked paper is a flash report from the Russian Ionosfera-M satellites on the geomagnetic storm of 19-21 January 2026. The authors report a G4 storm with Kp 9 and a solar proton flux they call the highest of Solar Cycle 25 and of the 21st century so far.
The second paper finds that recurrent high-speed solar-wind streams are followed by a small, repeatable rise in the first Schumann resonance frequency at high-latitude stations. That response lines up more clearly with geomagnetic activity than with solar-wind speed alone.
Prof. Seyed Mohammad Marandi of Tehran University, a former advisor to Iran's nuclear negotiation team, talks with Glenn Diesen about whether Egypt may join the Saudi war and about a wider war coming.
Military analyst Andrei Martyanov joins former CIA officer Larry Johnson to discuss Russia’s place in European civilization and the historical forces behind its confrontation with the West.
Paul Stonehill says that on the evening of February 9, 1913, people from Canada to Brazil watched 40 to 60 huge flaming spheres move slowly and in parallel, when falling satellites and rocket parts were still extremely rare. He then reads Russian press from the 1912–1913 wave, including objects that fort guns and searchlights could not bring down, and treats those reports as the same kind of sightings described today.
Former CIA analyst Larry Johnson, with Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol, on why Trump's MOAB can't crack Iran's Pickaxe Mountain. Ali's sources in Islamabad say MBS asked Pakistan for help, repeatedly, and Pakistan said no. Johnson, who briefed a UN Security Council Arria-formula meeting on Wednesday, says Europe will start a war with Russia it will regret.
The show also covers what the MOAB can and cannot do, why Pakistan will not fight Ansar Allah for MBS, what Pakistani and Turkish officers told MBS about Israelis in his war room, how Johnson expects the war to end and China's role, and why diesel is short in a country that makes more than it uses.
The Islamabad decision, MBS's requests and the war-room account are the host's own sourcing and cannot be independently verified. Johnson's Europe and MBS forecasts are his analysis.

Episode 2052. Alexander breaks down General Gerasimov's briefing to Putin, confirming the fall of Dobropillia, the capture of Oleksiievo Druzhkivka and Russian troops entering Druzhkivka as the pincers close around Kramatorsk and Sloviansk. He explains why the sacking of Azov commander Prokopenko, the stalled Operation Vivaldi and Putin's order to keep up strikes on bridges, rail and energy point to a deepening crisis for Ukraine, while Zelensky asks the EU for 155 billion euros and Trump waives Lindsey Graham's bone crushing sanctions. Is the battle for Kramatorsk about to begin?

SpaceWeatherNews on a galactic magnetic reversal, with the episode framed around signs that are amplifying. Today's linked notes cover Chandra's Treble Clef, a radio structure shaped by a black-hole outburst and a collision of two galaxy clusters; a check of zodiacal dust models at small solar elongations; survival odds for heliospheric energetic neutral atoms seen by IMAP; and heliosheath pickup ions along Voyager 2, tied to the low-energy ENA gap.
Max Igan, on INSPIRED with John Nolan, says the legal and government system is a fiction that exists only because people believe it, and that fighting it is fighting a cloud. He traces that view to a meditation around 2008 in which he saw the world as an emotional mirror and a loss of self, and he argues that people do not need to prove sovereignty to a system they never contracted with.
He tells Nolan he left Australia in 2021 after a shooter's licence arrived and he believed police were setting him up, and that he now lives mostly in Mexico. The conversation also covers Gaza as a moral test, wars he calls cover for depopulation, the smartphone as the base of a surveillance grid, and what he says still matters: the integrity of one's spirit. This Crowhouse upload mirrors the INSPIRED interview.
John Mearsheimer tells Glenn Diesen that the end-of-history moment failed once unipolarity gave way to a multipolar order of the United States, China, and Russia, and that a liberal international order cannot hold when two of the three great powers are not liberal democracies. He says Europe's nightmare is poisoned relations with Russia after an ugly Russian victory in Ukraine, and the chance that the American pacifier leaves Europe for East Asia.
Mearsheimer argues Russia treats the war as an existential threat and will not lose, and that Ukrainian strikes on Russian oil push Moscow to wreck Ukraine as a functioning state. He ties Trump's diesel deal and pressure on Zelensky to the Iran war and the world economy, and he expects Trump to back off cutting intelligence and Starlink. He also says the Houthis are hitting Saudi oil routes, including Yanbu, that another short bombing campaign will not do what a 40-day campaign failed to do, and that wars are much easier to start than to end.
The Duran, episode 2650, on Zelensky blaming Trump for Ukraine's defeat, claims of a US intelligence cutoff, and Russian Zircon strikes the hosts say the US cannot track. They cover Ukrainian refinery strikes and Flamingo missiles, Su-34 claims and Starshield targeting, six ballistic missiles with no air-raid warning, and Zelensky courting Democrats and Congress.
The episode also takes up the claim that Ukraine collapses without US intelligence, the argument that Trump did not cut military aid, an FP9 missile and Starlink throttling, Putin, Trump, Tomahawks and a diesel-oil deal, how Russia could respond, Russia's nuclear doctrine and pressure on Kiev, and whether Moscow has ever been hit by a ballistic missile.

Joseph Rael, whose Picuris Pueblo Indian sacred name translates to Beautiful Painted Arrow, is a visionary, poet, and creator of sacred sounds. He is author of Beautiful Painted Arrow and Being and Vibration. Here Rael presents many Tiwa chants and songs, describing their meaning and use. He elaborates on the deeper meaning of such concepts as work, commitment, choice, clarity, purity, transformation and higher consciousness.
Daniel Liszt presents Dark Journalist X-241 on Morris K. Jessup in the Hot Zone, the triangle he draws between western Cuba, Bimini, and the Yucatán. With Rudolf Steiner and Edgar Cayce he reads it as Poseidia, the last island of Atlantis. The technology in that account is Cayce’s two-eye stone. Liszt splits Atlantis between the Children of the Law of One and a Belial group, and says the island sank when the stone was tuned too high. Survivors of that culture, not visitors from another galaxy, are Jessup’s explanation for modern UFOs.
Jessup, as Liszt tells it, is a Navy man at 19, a Carnegie researcher in South America, an astronomer in South Africa, and a digger in the Yucatán tied to Henry Ford’s Fordlandia. The Case for the UFO draws the Office of Naval Research after Carlos Allende, also called Carl Allen, annotates it with what he claims he witnessed at the Philadelphia Experiment. Jessup recognizes the handwriting. He then drives to Yale oceanographer J. Manson Valentine with something he will not say by phone. Hours later he is found dead in a Coral Gables park, a hose from the exhaust through the window, and no autopsy. In 1968 Valentine finds the Bimini Wall where Cayce had said a Poseidian temple would rise.
Liszt sets that death beside the scientists in his recent reports. Major General William McCasland has been missing since 27 February 2026. From the Podesta emails he takes Tom DeLonge’s note that McCasland held the Roswell material at Wright-Patterson, and he says Space Force officials left the general shaken the night before he vanished. MIT’s Nuno Loureiro is shot in Brookline by Claudio Valente. Caltech’s Carl Grillmair is killed in a reported carjacking. NASA engineer Monica Reza disappears on a hike in Angeles National Forest. Liszt ties a heat-proof alloy he calls Mandaloy to Roswell memory metal, and he names the distortion around these cases Apotheum: missing time, and passage through solid objects, the same effects he says appear when a UFO is seen.
Around them he places Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, Stephen Hawking in a submarine called Atlantis, Paulina Zelitsky’s 2001 city off western Cuba, and Thomas Townsend Brown’s Navy dives on that coast. Donald Keyhoe’s Silence Group is, for Liszt, the circle he calls X-Protect. Jessup is the early case of a scientist removed for getting too close.
Pepe Escobar with Zulfiqar Ali on Transition Protocol. Escobar says Iran is like a coiled cobra, ready to strike, and preparing to bypass the dollar.
A participant in Iran's Friday leadership meeting told Ali that if an attack comes from Dubai, Dubai will be finished as a commercial center. They also cover Iran's and Pakistan's central bank heads at the IMF meeting in Bangkok, and a report that Iranian oil may move to China over land.
The host says the Tehran meeting account, the Dubai and Oman lines, and the claim that Israelis have left Riyadh's war room are his own sourcing and cannot be independently verified.
