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.
