The Phenomenon

Uh, Farah previously directed the documentary film The Age of Disclosure, which brought together more than 30 current and former US officials who spoke on the record about the UAP issue, uh, potential natio- national security related to the phenomena, and ongoing efforts to secure the release of information about it, which are believed to remain in the US government's possession.

Farah also produced the documentary film The Phenomenon by director James Fox.

Along with the secretive word of the US government investigations into UAP, the forthcoming series will deal with the unusual intersection between Stratton's classified work and his life at home, as detailed in his forthcoming memoir, where he describes how his family also reported ex- uh, reportedly experienced unusual events while he served in government.

Uh, Winter describes Stratton's story and the plans for a forthcoming series as a journey into the lesser-known world of US government and UAP investigations.

All right, today's video is about James Fox, filmmaker James Fox, who has put out such hits as The Phenomena, Moment of Contact, right? I think you know.

Well...

He just came out with a video on social media with apparently some big controversy that he needed to address.

You have...

the very famous Twining memo, where General Twining wrote in 1947, in September 1947, that the phenomenon is real, it's not illusionary, and essentially it was that memo that caused the Air Force to stand up Project Sign and start studying the UFO topic.

There's also parts in there about where they try to examine where or the reason for the UFO reports.

And in one appendix, I think it was Appendix T, they talk about whether UFOs could be possibly animals, because they act more like animals than anything else, the way they play cat and mouse with the interceptors that come up to intercept them.

It has to have a craft associated with it.

So even the ERT cases, if there's no craft associated and someone just simply has an abduction event, the actual investigator will probably close the case and let the ERT person take over and communicate with the witness.

Yeah, so the phenomenon could be part of all that if the mind control thing has anything to do with it, which it seems like it may, especially from what I've actually come down to understand, especially after researching a lot of the string field material that I've... studied.

It sort of fits the puzzle pieces together with random things that I have read across many different areas of research from Majestic 12 to Roswell to Jayon Hynek's work.

you could report on it and you don't have to say it, you know, it a hundred percent happened.

You can report on it and saying, you know, if this is true, this is the biggest development in the history of the phenomenon, because we're dealing with a neurosurgeon who claims to have had face-to-face contact with a captured non-human intelligence.

That's kind of a big deal.

That's never happened before.

long.

And it's funny, it's not a first.

I remember when I did The Phenomenon and I was covering the Rua Zimbabwe landing case and, you know, close the count of the third kind.

And one of the witnesses, Emma, flew in from Australia and I remember her saying something like, yeah, I had to explain to my husband that, Uh, the incident.

Thank you.

In the process that has now come out, I think like a month ago, but doing the podcast tour and all that, there is a lot to unpack from that film, the program, the link will be down in the description of that as well.

But you have brought here today, Mr. Jason Sands as well, who was featured in the documentary and has been in the middle of like the internet controversy around some of the things that you have come out publicly, I believe in April and then extensively through the documentary.

So we will get into all that today, but- It's great to have you back, sir.

I never have a title for things when I first get started on them.

And I had a partner, Tim Coleman, and it was probably 1999, maybe 2000, but probably 1999.

And we were mapping out the film, like concept ideas.

I do broad brushstrokes.

Some UAPs cannot be explained by known technology.

Certain cases suggest intelligence beyond the phenomenon.

And I think one of the interesting things was when they did, we're talking to the physicists, right? They kept talking about how the flight patterns of some of these things that have been recorded.

And how maybe even with their theoretical physicist brains, they couldn't adequately explain how it was moving.

All right.

So I've got a couple other documentaries, docuseries that you could watch to go a little deeper for a deeper dive into the UAP and government secrecy.

If you liked Age of Disclosure or you wanted a little bit more from the Age of Disclosure, I guess the kind of gold standard of UFO documentaries is called The Phenomenon from 2020, directed by James Fox.

And it provides historical context from 1947 and onward.

Well, today, he joins us to explain what happened, what it will take to get to truth and disclosure.

Also, one of the leading voices in pushing for disclosure is James Fox, the director and producer of The Program, Moment of Contact, The Phenomenon, all excellent films.

He's helping organize this disclosure.

Jeff, James, both of you, welcome to Redacted.

So to your audience, there's a guy named Dr. J. Allen Hynek.

He was the scientific advisor to the United States Air Force.

And he had a front row seat to the Air Force's position on the phenomenon.

And he said that You know, they would go do handsprings, you know, to prevent the media and the public to know about, like, the more credible the sighting, the more compelling the data, the less likely it was ever going to see the light of day.

And that's the problem that we're having right now.

And I believe that the phenomenon that we're seeing in a way is here to illustrate to us that our perception of things is completely incorrect.

And so it's almost like, well, you know, if you think this is true, then what about this? And then you have to weigh that.

So, you know, it's, it could be aliens from another planet, but it could also be just a little puzzle pieces that are inserted into the matrix for us to, to have to solve.

21 plus.

Hi, this is James Fox, director of The Phenomenon and Moment of Contact.

You're listening to The Paracast, the gold standard of paranormal radio.
