Summary

Five years ago this week, former US Senate Majority leader Harry Reid arranged and hosted a closed-door meeting in Washington DC. The purpose of the get-together was a briefing about a then-unknown investigation of UFOs and related phenomena. The world had just learned about a Pentagon program dubbed AATIP, a UFO study headed by Lue Elizondo. But news accounts mangled the true story. Reid and colleagues had secured $22 million for a UFO study. The program was managed by the Defense Intelligence Agency using the acronym AAWSAP. In March 2018, Sen. Reid arranged for a meeting between the project manager for AAWSAP and journalist George Knapp, during which Dr. Lacatski outlined the operation and accomplishments of the largest government-funded UFO investigation in history. In this episode, Jeremy and George recall the events from five years ago and how the revelations from that day are still reverberating. GOT A TIP?
