Have you ever wondered what it's like to witness a murder?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:07)
Forrest grabbed the knife and then just stabbed Johnny in one motion.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:12)
Or how it feels to be shot?

**SPEAKER_4** (1:14)
I was immediately hit by a barrage of bullets.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:17)
Or how you would react if your spouse hired someone to kill you?

**SPEAKER_7** (1:22)
And he was to put me in a grave with a bullet wound on my head.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:26)
These are the stories you'll hear on the podcast called What Was That Like? True stories told by the actual person who went through it. You'll hear from a stalking victim.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:36)
Came back upstairs and when I came back and turned the corner into my room, I saw him standing there.

**SPEAKER_6** (1:40)
You'll hear from a man who was kidnapped and tortured. I would do anything, say anything, to simply get away.
And you'll hear actual 911 calls.

**SPEAKER_4** (1:52)
Oh my God! Oh my God!
Oh my God!

What benefit is there to having David Grush stand at a microphone saying that we should have disclosure? What benefit is it with having Lou Elizondo saying that we should protect whistleblowers when, as people will see in the new movie, I keep referring to it, but I'm documenting this stuff very well. You'll see in the new movie, in one section, he's calling for whistleblowers, but right after that, he's giving me an interview where he's saying he's not a whistleblower and he'll never be one. So all the people that are stepping forward, calling for disclosure and calling for whistleblowers to come out, they could actually do that. Go figure.

Richard Syrett's Strange Planet, following the truth wherever it leads, exposing evil and corruption and the secret machinations of powerful elites, revealing the highest strangeness beneath the surface of our supposed reality, coming to you from the great white north and his studio beneath the stairs. Here's Richard.

**Richard Syrett** (3:11)
Hey there, welcome to Strange Planet. This month, Time Magazine put The New Case for Aliens on its cover, a striking sign of how dramatically the conversation has shifted. Congress continues to wrestle with UAP hearings, new government files are emerging, scientists are taking a fresh look at unexplained phenomena, and Hollywood is once again bringing the subject to the big screen. So the question is no longer simply, are we alone? The more urgent question may be who gets to shape the story? Is this the beginning of genuine transparency, a long overdue scientific awakening, or are we witnessing a carefully managed evolution of the biggest mystery of the modern age?
Joining me is filmmaker Ron James, media relations director for Mufon and creator of the acclaimed documentary series, Accidental Truth. His work explores not only the evidence behind the phenomenon, but also the political, scientific and cultural forces shaping the global conversation about disclosure. And tonight we'll examine the latest UAP developments, the growing debate over who's controlling the disclosure narrative, what the newest government files may or may not reveal, and why one of the world's most influential magazines has decided that now is the time to put aliens on its cover. Has the truth finally gone mainstream, or has the next chapter of the mystery only just begun?
Ron James, welcome back to Strange Planet. How are you?

**Ron James** (4:41)
Great. Thanks for having me on the show, Richard.
