Summary

** NOTE: There is an occasional echo with Tim's audio that was only caught in postproduction, but the echo is mostly toward the end. I had it worked on for several hours, and improved it as much as possible. ~ Former Rear Admiral Tim Gallaudet returns to Podcast UFO for an in-depth discussion of UAP, USO, ocean mysteries, government transparency, and the search for answers. Gallaudet clarifies his role on the newly formed UAP Science Advisory Council reporting to the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, alongside Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb. He discusses the council’s effort to obtain and analyze Pentagon UAP data, including reports involving possible anomalous objects detected by U.S. submarines. The conversation focuses heavily on undersea anomalies. Gallaudet describes reported encounters in which submarine crews detected objects moving at extraordinary speeds underwater, including one alleged sonar contact recorded at 80 knots. He explains why the oceans, much of which remain poorly explored, may be a logical place for elusive phenomena to operate beyond public observation. We also discuss metallic sphere reports, unreleased military video, the need for rigorous scientific study, artificial intelligence in UAP research, compartmentalization within government programs, and whether the public is finally moving closer to meaningful disclosure. Tim also talks about his new book, *Holding Fast in Heavy Seas*, a leadership memoir reflecting on his Navy career and his time leading NOAA through difficult political and scientific challenges. Could UAP represent advanced adversary technology, unknown engineering, or something genuinely non-human? Tim Gallaudet explains why either possibility deserves serious attention.

**PLEASE NOTE: There is an occasional echo with Tim's audio that was not caught in production, but mostly toward the end. I had it worked on for several hours, and improved it as much as possible. I apologize, Martin

Tim, so glad to have you back. Welcome to the show. Hey, thank you, Martin. Glad to be back.

0:23.6

And I got to tell you, since you were on, I think it's possible that I was maybe the second

0:28.3

person interview. I don't, it doesn't matter. But since that interview, you have done so much.

0:34.9

And I love the way you have treated this topic with such high respect and you bring respect

0:39.8

to the topic and it was great to see you at contact in the desert and more recently on the 25th

0:46.4

at the forum event down there the disclosure forum it was just you did such a great job and I'm so

0:52.6

happy that you're involved the way you are and so I want to

0:56.3

ask you besides having that event in the email and the disappearing video and all that did you have

1:02.7

an interest in any of this before that or is that what really started the whole thing I was always

1:09.3

interested as a young kid growing up in Southern California,

1:12.4

there was a show on that Leonard Nimoy hosted called In Search of. I love that one.

1:18.7

Yeah. And of course, he would treat the topic. And I was fascinated by it back then. Just the

1:25.0

thought that we might not be alone in the universe and all these different

1:29.0

sightings that had been reported up until then. And then, of course, over time, I told you, I think,

1:35.6

that I was the superintendent of the Naval Observatory. So I had a whole team of astrophysicists who

1:40.5

worked for me, whose job was to observe the stars, their locations and magnitudes that satellites use to navigate, including GPS.

1:47.8

And just knowing how large the universe was after working with them, it made me just think it was impossible that if there's 100 billion stars in our galaxy and there's trillions of galaxies in the observable universe, how could we possibly be

2:01.2

alone? So those were always lingering in the back of my mind before I actually saw firsthand

2:06.6

video evidence on the Navy's classified systems of UAP. I love the saying, what a waste of space

2:13.1

if we're alone. You just think about it. It's so hard to try to understand like if you took every single

2:19.3

grain of sand on the earth on every beach that there's more stars than that. That's so hard to picture,

2:25.7

but it gives you some type of guideline to use to say it's enormous. On and on in the distance
