Philip TeresiHOST
The FBI used the number in a Senate hearing, and there wasn't a single follow-up figure to anchor it.
Philip TeresiHOST
Battelle's also used the phrasing, 600% increase in AI alone invested in the Bureau.
Philip TeresiHOST
It seems to be hinting at budget rather than system count.

Uh, much of the newly released material in this, uh, sixth go-around of the UFO files dates back to the 1950s, uh, Project Blue Book, including a 1950 report of a unidentified object off of Okinawa, and al- also a previously known 1953 document describing objects that reportedly made abrupt changes in direction and exhibited extremely high calculated acceleration.
Jeremy ScottHOST
The release, uh, also included a long-sought audio recording from a 1952 Project Blue Book briefing involving the Air Force's work with, uh, Battelle Memorial Institute.
Jeremy ScottHOST
This is the recording that, uh, Congressman Eric Burlison was pressing for the release of.
Jeremy ScottHOST
We, uh, talked about that in a previous show, and, uh, that has been released, and, uh, we'll do an upcoming episode, uh, on that recording, I think.

Steve StocktonHOST
The hammerhead is six inches long and made of a strange, high-purity iron.
Steve StocktonHOST
When the Battelle Memorial Institute in Columbus, Ohio analyzed the metal, they found something startling.

Steve StocktonHOST
It contains no carbon, no silver, and no manganese.

I think where there's less room for corruption to exist in general, like when there isn't an office building or, you know, stringent accounting to be done, and it's just kind of people doing things out of the goodness of their heart.
CaitlinPANELIST
I feel like trust is a lot easier, too.
Melinda AsanaMODERATOR
You know, Battelle mentioned something about, you know, big corporations.
Melinda AsanaMODERATOR
And I think, you know, that's also pretty well documented that corporate America is kind of, you know, not as trusted as it used to be, perhaps.
