Ufos aren't real then how come the U.S and multiple other militarys are now saying the complete opposite plus the fact commercial pilots are now coming forward and the reports are mind blowing unlike your second rate report .

Thanks for information, but don't agree with you that UFO's are not real. I had an experience in the late 69's around age 8 or 9 when my father, a USAF retired pilot, was stationed at Luke AFB. Discounting children's exeriences is a mistake. I can remember several friends names and our experiences. I remember the exact location on a black and white aerial photo of the base during the 1960's. So why would I not remember being stopped dead when running home for dinner from my friend's home, having a huge area lighting up, being raised up under something, then being inside laying on something, and other things during an abduction, then being back where I was with time lapse and late after dark for dinner. I suppose like you being put with the loch Ness Monster and Sasquatch, you want to categorize me as a UFO whackado. I didn't know there was an avionics journalist alive that didn't believe in UFOs, or is it just you don't consider them to be Unidentified?

Later in life I told my military friends, my family, and even reported to MUFON over the last ~10 years. Only more recently have I been willing to hang my arse out and tell my story to others, because as I age I care less about what others think. I was was not a meek child, a bit of a Tom Boy and tenacious. I have always been okay with what happened and have wanted to be hypnotized to try and unlock more information, but never knew where to go and who to see. I welcome challenges, as anyone would telling the truth. Your truths about a missing plane are theories based on some knowns and some possibilities, plus some none impossibilities. My truth when it comes to a UFO is based on live physical experience. It's always easy to discount a child, but would anyone discount their child at age 8, if they came home and said a man tried to grab me into his car but I ran. People see what they want to see, but they also believe what they want to believe when they are given information. Does this mean I believe Ashton Forbes theory? Not in this case, but who knows whether something odd didn't happen and the plane entered some area taking out instrumentation in clouds and the plane came out somewhere else totally disoriented. Shoot maybe it's at the bottom of the Bering Sea ( :

I am not saying I think this happened, but strange things have happened on this Earth that so far are unexplainable, but not unreal. He is just putting forth one more theory.

Ashton Forbes' research and theory have achieved success due to their extensive and thorough nature. The distinction between conspiracy and conspiracy theory lies in the application of the scientific method, which involves gathering actual scientific data, corroborating it, identifying contradictions, and comprehensively analyzing the findings. Ashton Forbes applies this approach to his research alongside authors of scientific papers who testify as guests on technology-related topics.

Regarding 9/11, I must mention Dr. Judy Wood. She is the only published researcher with degrees in Structural Engineering who has employed this same scientific method. Additionally, MH370 technology supports her findings and data.

None of Dunbar's disputes are based on scientific data; they consist of opinions or unprovable "convenient" hearsay evidence that lack scientifically researched or peer-reviewed studies.

In your post production segment you discuss using "drifters" for debris tracking evaluations. A company that may be worth taking to is Saildrone from Alameda California. They deploy unmanned data gathering devices all over the ocean world for currents, tide, depths, temperatures, etc for the sale of the data. This humanitarian challenge may be something that would also interest them.

Mark, I like your thinking -- I'm sure Saildrone could have a lot of interesting Lepas data, but when I reached out to them they didn't want to talk about anything beyond their actual projects.

Hi Jeff,

This was another great episode! We really enjoyed your guest and would like to read his book. It's incredible that Ashton Forbes wants people to believe that he not only solved the mystery of MH370 but was able to catch it on video at several different, perfectly clear angles. What you said about how "the algorithm is the gatekeeper" is bang on and sums up the world today very well (a depressing thought). Keep up the good work!

Thanks so much, Rochelle! Really glad you liked it. Yes, not only was the magical moment caught in perfect clarity from two different angles, but in addition to solving aviation's greatest mystery he obtained the first unambiguous footage of a UFO (three, no less!) as well as proving the existence of wormholes. So, quite an achievement, probably worth three Nobel prizes at least.

Forbes doesn't claim the orbs are UAP. He says this is secret government technology. His claim is the U.S. took the plane.

But does it matter what he's claiming? The whole thing is so absurd on its face, it's like arguing about whether the earth is flat or shaped like a Pringle...

Jeff, I really appreciated your guest. Webster's Dictionary needs to place his picture in their entry for "sanity." Reaching back to 9/11, my only personal connection to the events of that day concerns a woman in my wife's writers' group. Her husband was giving flying lessons in Florida and had three Middle Eastern men come in for lessons. On their second visit, Rick heard some talk that concerned him. He called the FBI, and was told that they would look into it. He called back sometime later and pretty much got blown off. When the pictures of the 9/11 hijackers were shown, the three who had come for lessons were among them.

As for Rick, he was the Captain of that Atlas Air 767 that crashed into Trinity Bay near Houston. He was handling the radio when the pilot flying thought he was in a stall and went full forward on the yoke. Sad ending for a good man.

Thanks, Tom. That's an incredible story.
