Real Stranger Things - The UFO Year In Review

2025 passed by at the speed of a comet. What, if any, progress was made in the goal of UFO transparency? WEAPONIZED found itself in the thick of the battle. During the past 12 months, our podcast introduced to the world whistleblowers and witnesses whose statements and testimony helped move the needle - Matthew Brown, Dylan Borland, Alexandro Wiggins, Jeff Nuccitelli, among others - unveiled and confirmed UFO/UAP/USO images and videos that were previously hidden inside government servers; heard from former insiders turned authors Dr. James Lacatski, Dr. Jacques Vallée, Jay Stratton, Col. Phil Corso; assisted and interviewed members of Congress including Representatives Luna, Burchett, and Burlison; and gave a global platform to journalists, investigators, and content creators including Ralph Blumenthal, Richard Dolan, David Paulides, Marik von Rennenkampff, Dustin Slaughter, Chris Sharpe; and provided much-needed context to ongoing stories, including troubling incursions by mystery drones, the apparent about-face among major media organizations' interest in the topic, and active efforts to de-legitimize Congressional inquiries as well as overall public interest in these ancient, interconnected phenomena. New books (by Lacatski and Dolan, among others), new or continuing television series (UFO Revolution on Tubi, Investigation Alien on Netflix, NewsNation broadcasts), and new films (Age of Disclosure, Moment of Contact, and others) generated renewed enthusiasm around the world, but also instigated shadowy counterintelligence operations. Throughout 2025, WEAPONIZED warned that significant “pushback” was coming. In this year-end episode, Jeremy and George express and explain their belief that the long-rumored pushback isn’t something that looms over the future of the subject. It’s here. GOT A TIP?
