## Resource

Richard Dolan returns to That UFO Podcast for a deep dive into the biggest developments in the UFO/UAP conversation right now. In Part 1, we focus on the latest UFO file releases, the ongoing push for transparency, David Grusch's recent comments, and whether what we're witnessing is actually disclosure—or something very different. Richard shares his thoughts on the apparent battle between transparency and secrecy factions, why he believes many people have become caught up in "disclosure mania," and what historical government records reveal about recurring UFO waves and patterns stretching back decades. We also discuss: The latest war.gov/UFO file releases David Grusch and whistleblower protections Whether disclosure is really happening Historical UFO cycles and patterns The 1948 documents and recurring waves The difference between disclosure and contact Alien behaviour and what the phenomenon appears to be doing AI and its impact on humanity's future Why Richard rejects predictions of imminent disclosure events Chris Bledsoe, Lue Elizondo and "something is coming" narratives The current state of the UFO conversation in 2026 This is Part 1 of a special extended conversation with Richard Dolan. Part 2 will focus on USOs, underwater mysteries, the darker aspects of the phenomenon, humanity's future, and Richard's latest research.
