Aliens Explored

In 1969, Virgo Mitt was digging a well beneath his garden in Merivälja, Tallinn, when he reportedly encountered an extraordinarily hard metallic layer. The fragments he removed would become part of a mystery involving Soviet scientists, military interest and claims of something much larger beneath the property.

In this solo episode, Stu examines Object M and asks what the evidence really supports. A sample associated with the original discovery was analysed in 2017 and identified as likely human-made ferrochrome — but researchers could not be certain that it actually came from Mitt's original find.

So does that solve the mystery, or merely identify one particular piece of metal?

With renewed interest in Object M and the possibility of a modern ground-penetrating-radar survey, this remains a surprisingly testable UFO case.

Question of the Week: Is Object M effectively solved, or would you still want the garden properly scanned before closing the case?

The fifth tranche of PURSUE UAP records has arrived — but after 41 newly released items, are we actually any closer to understanding the phenomenon?

Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly examine Tranche 5 of the Presidential Unsealing and Reporting System for UAP Encounters, from its newly released videos and images to some much more intriguing historical government documents.

The footage itself leaves Neil distinctly underwhelmed: more distant lights, indistinct objects and sensor recordings that remain extremely difficult to interpret.

But buried among the documents are records showing that US military and intelligence agencies were taking the UFO problem seriously as far back as the 1940s.

We look at Project SIGN, technical analysis of UFO films from the early 1950s, recurring descriptions of unusual objects across generations, and a spectacular 1963 Brazilian crashed-object report which provides an excellent lesson in why the presence of a claim in a government file does not necessarily make that claim true.

Does Tranche 5 contain extraordinary evidence of extraterrestrial visitation?

No.

Does it strengthen the case that there is a genuine unresolved UAP phenomenon worthy of serious investigation?

That's where Stu and Neil don't entirely agree.

July 2026 brought new government records, a delayed AARO report, scientific initiatives and potentially important movement on UAP disclosure legislation.

In this episode, Stu examines the month’s major developments, including AARO’s latest annual report, the extraordinary account of approximately 100 airborne UAP off the Virginia coast, the UAP Science Advisory Council chaired by Avi Loeb, the reported nondisclosure-agreement waiver and the House adoption of a new UAP disclosure framework.

We also briefly revisit the fourth PURSUE records release and consider continuing allegations involving private aerospace contractors.

July did not produce publicly verifiable evidence of extraterrestrial craft or reverse-engineering programmes. However, it may have expanded the processes through which government records, testimony and physical evidence could eventually be examined.

Did the month bring us closer to meaningful disclosure—or merely add another layer of bureaucracy to the subject?

On 31 July 2020, Aliens Explored released its first episodes.

Six years later, the UAP subject has passed through Pentagon video releases, intelligence assessments, congressional hearings, whistleblower testimony, NASA studies, disclosure legislation and official investigations.

In this anniversary special, Stu revisits six major turning points in the modern UAP story and asks whether any of them have brought us substantially closer to understanding what lies behind the phenomenon.

What does “disclosure” actually mean—and would we recognise it if it happened?

In the first instalment of UFOs for Beginners, Stu Jackson and Neil Kelly unpack one of the most commonly used and frequently misunderstood words in ufology.

Does disclosure mean the release of classified documents? An official admission that some sightings remain unexplained? Evidence of technology beyond known human capabilities? Recovered materials, crashed craft, non-human bodies—or direct communication with another intelligence?

Stu outlines eight possible levels of disclosure, while Neil asks what evidence would genuinely be convincing and whether any government announcement could ever satisfy those who believe more information is being withheld.

The discussion also explores catastrophic versus controlled disclosure, scientific peer review, national security, government secrecy, public trust, ontological shock and how confirmation of non-human intelligence might affect everyday life.

This series is designed for anyone who is new to UFOs and UAPs, curious about the subject or looking for a clear introduction without either ridicule or unquestioning belief.

Spoiler notice: This episode contains some discussion of plot elements from the film Disclosure Day.

What would disclosure mean to you—and how would you react if it happened tomorrow?

Donald Trump has reportedly directed that former government personnel should be able to seek waivers for UAP-related non-disclosure agreements through authorised government channels.

But does this really mean "all the NDAs have been waived"?

Stu and Neil separate fact from headline, discussing what has actually been reported, how AARO and PURSUE could be affected, why many whistleblowers may still remain cautious, and whether this marks another genuine step towards disclosure.

The fourth tranche of files released through PURSUE includes videos, images, audio recordings and historical documents—but does any of it bring us closer to understanding the UAP phenomenon?

Stu and Neil debate reports involving nuclear facilities, objects apparently responding to observers, intelligence assessments dating back to 1949 and the growing involvement of government departments previously associated with secrecy surrounding UFOs.

Stu argues that the releases represent a slow and carefully managed shift towards disclosure. Neil asks whether the public is simply being shown more ambiguous objects and lights without enough context to reach any meaningful conclusions.

The discussion also explores government redactions, alleged disinformation campaigns, the stigma faced by witnesses, possible reverse-engineering programmes and the evidence that would be required to establish that something genuinely non-human is operating in our skies.

Finally, Stu and Neil answer listener questions about scepticism, confirmation bias and how ordinary life might change if extraterrestrial intelligence were officially confirmed.

Does PURSUE Tranche 4 move the needle—or is it another UAP nothing burger?

This week on Aliens Explored, Stu and Neil are joined by serving police inspector and author Roy Teague to discuss his new book, Close Encounters of the Police Kind: Incredible True Stories of UFO Sightings by British Police Officers.

Get your copy at: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0H5WH1F8X

 

Roy explains how he gathered accounts from more than 250 serving and former police officers, why police witnesses may bring a different kind of credibility to the UFO subject, and why many officers have historically been reluctant to speak publicly about what they have seen.

The conversation covers UFOs, UAPs, missing time, alleged abduction experiences, reports involving police vehicles and aircraft, and the wider question of whether the subject is finally beginning to receive the serious attention it deserves.

Neil has responded to Stu’s breakdown of the PURSUE UFO files — and, as expected, he has questions.

In this episode of Aliens Explored, Stu and Neil go case by case through some of the most interesting items in the PURSUE UAP releases, including the Western US case cluster, the apparent transmedium submarine-related case, the Lake Huron shootdown footage, ODNI witness material, Sandia Base reports from 1948–1950, and FBI UAP files involving civilian footage.

Neil asks whether some of these files are genuinely significant, whether the government is simply taking them seriously because it has to, whether the FBI may be padding out the archive, and whether these releases are really preparing the ground for Disclosure — or whether this is all the evidence there is.

Stu responds throughout, arguing that while the files do not prove aliens or non-human intelligence, they do mark a major shift in the public acknowledgement of unexplained phenomena.

Not proof.

But not nothing.
