I love when a company takes something that everyone has accepted as being fixed and completely redesigns it, which is exactly what Lufthansa, today's sponsor, has done with its Lufthansa Allegris Business Class cabin. It is stunning. Instead of having just one type of seat, Lufthansa Allegris Business Class has five completely different seats, each engineered around a specific need. So there's one built purely around privacy, another with a bed that's over seven feet long, and one designed around having even more space to work, eat and think. You're essentially getting to choose what your journey needs to be before you even board the plane. And that level of thinking runs throughout the entire Lufthansa Allegris experience. An airline actually asking you, what does this traveler need from their flight? This idea that your seat should fit how you travel, not the other way around, is a surprisingly simple fix to something that the industry has never bothered to solve before. Anyway, it's called Lufthansa Allegris. And if you fly a lot, it's worth looking up. Visit lufthansa.com and search for Allegris to learn more. That's spelled A-L-L-E-G-R-I-S.

Lufthansa Allegris.

All it takes is a yes. Limited availability on selected routes, with more routes coming soon.

There has been an 80-year cover-up of the existence of non-human intelligent life, covered up by elements of the US government. But this past Friday, the first tranche of evidence was released to the public.

Hal Puthoff (1:26)

And the evidence is absolutely clear that there is some form of life with advanced technology. They're all over the place.

Dan Farah (1:32)

But the people involved in gatekeeping this information don't think the public can handle the truth. People have had their lives threatened. A lot of them are afraid to come forward and tell the White House what they know. And this has been kept from even sitting president. And I've interviewed high-level intelligence officials and government officials, and they're hoping UAP crashes over the years. And in some cases, the crashed crafts had the bodies of non-humans in.

Hal Puthoff (1:55)

And now we have people on ships seeing these things enter the water. We've seen enough times under enough different conditions that we just have to accept it as real.

Steven Bartlett (2:04)

So what exactly is inside this report?

Hal Puthoff (2:07)

We have so many sightings, even access to materials.

Dan Farah (2:11)

And there's a number of files, reports, video and still images that were declassified. And the most notable piece of evidence in there is this.

Steven Bartlett (2:21)

So I have so many questions. You're probably familiar with this NASA report. They essentially say that they don't believe that these UAPs are aliens. Why would NASA be lying? Is there a reason why this stuff hasn't been captured on like an iPhone? Why they are currently living amongst us? And then do you trust the Trump administration to release all of the available information?

Dan Farah (2:39)

I think eventually we'll get to that moment that we've all only seen in movies where a sitting president steps to a microphone and tells the world we're not alone in the universe.

Steven Bartlett (2:49)

Guys, I've got a favour to ask before this episode begins. The algorithm, if you follow a show, will deliver you the best episodes from that show very prominently in your feed. So when we have our best episodes on this show, the most shared episodes, the most rated episodes, I would love you to know. And the simple way for you to know that is to hit that follow button. But also it's the simple, easy, free thing that you can do to help us make the show better. I would be hugely grateful if you could take a minute on the app you're listening to this on right now and hit that follow button. Thank you so, so, so much.

Dr. Harold, Dan. I wanted to have a conversation with both of you today because you are two of the most popular voices online on this subject of UAPs, which is Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena. Right.

Hal Puthoff (3:36)

Exactly.

Steven Bartlett (3:37)

It has been in all the news recently because Trump a couple of days ago released 400 classified files containing videos and photos and different reports on this subject of UAPs. Now, I don't have an opinion.

I honestly haven't gone that far down the rabbit hole on this subject, but I wanted to have the conversation with both of you because you do have opinions. So starting with you, Dan, what is your background and as it relates to this subject of UAPs, what is it that you believe that most people don't know or understand?
