A secret tape, an actress refusing synthetic tricks, and a pulsing sound from the night sky — how trust, technology, and unexplained signals are reshaping who tells the UFO story.

This program uses AI to hide our identites and to gather information from sources the government would prefer we didn't contact.

00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:03.399
This is UFO sidings. Today, Fox News reports that the

2
00:00:03.480 --> 00:00:08.560
new documentary Sleeping Dog secretly recorded a journalist who specializes

3
00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:13.080
in UFO reporting. The film. The outlet says captured material

4
00:00:13.199 --> 00:00:16.519
the subject did not expect to be on camera. That

5
00:00:16.719 --> 00:00:21.719
single detail matters. Investigative journalists and the witnesses they interview

6
00:00:21.920 --> 00:00:26.719
operate in a fragile ecosystem of trust. Secret recordings can

7
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:31.359
chill sources, muddy chains of custody for evidence, and complicate

8
00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:37.759
already tense relationships between filmmakers, whistleblowers, and the military. At

9
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:41.320
a moment when the culture is demanding clarity about unexplained

10
00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:45.399
aerial phenomena, the ethics of how those stories are gathered

11
00:00:45.960 --> 00:00:49.920
is suddenly front and center. Emily Blunt has chosen not

12
00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:54.240
to use artificial intelligence in Steven Spielberg's new film Disclosure Day.

13
00:00:54.600 --> 00:00:59.000
The Independent reports Blunt told press she is terrified of

14
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:03.960
AI and opted for human performance and practical effects instead.

15
00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:07.760
A major star and a major director leaning away from

16
00:01:07.799 --> 00:01:12.560
synthetic tools turns the making of a movie about extraterrestrial

17
00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:18.799
disclosure into its own cultural argument. Online, the conversation ranges

18
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:24.159
from speculative theory to sensory reports One thread asks whether

19
00:01:24.200 --> 00:01:27.359
the so called grays could be three D printed by

20
00:01:27.400 --> 00:01:33.120
von Neuman Probes, citing recent podcasts and past interviews. Another

21
00:01:33.159 --> 00:01:37.400
poster says they have heard an oscillating pulsing frequency from

22
00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:39.359
the sky at night for a year and a half,

23
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.959
a sound that gives them chills. Officially, investigators emphasize caution.

24
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:52.120
The Pentagon's Anomaly Resolution Office continues to collect reports, and

25
00:01:52.280 --> 00:01:57.959
analysts point to misidentified aircraft, satellites, weather balloons, or censor

26
00:01:58.079 --> 00:02:03.519
artifacts as common explanations. Many accounts remain unverified and require

27
00:02:03.599 --> 00:02:08.400
corroboration before they alter the record. Will keep watching the skies.
