## Resource

UAP Files Podcast S4|E23Blake Monteith returns to the podcast after travelling to Washington D.C. for Steven Greer’s latest disclosure event (8th May 2026), where whistleblowers, researchers, military witnesses and investigators gathered to discuss the current state of the UFO/UAP conversation.In this episode, Blake gives us a first-hand account of what it was like to be in the room as figures including Dr. Steven Greer, Jaime Maussan, Mike Herrera, Roderick Castle, Randy Anderson and Mike Batista took the stage. We discuss the latest developments surrounding the mysterious “Buga Spheres,” claims of psionic abilities and CE5-style interactions, the apparent disappearance of the Skywatcher project from public view, and whether key evidence is being taken directly to Congress behind closed doors.We also explore the growing divisions within the UFO community, the ongoing debate surrounding figures such as Lue Elizondo and Steven Greer, and why disclosure appears to be moving forward through multiple competing factions. Along the way, we discuss Jeremy Corbell’s new documentary Sleeping Dog, the role of media personalities in pushing the subject into the mainstream, and whether making a living in the UFO space automatically makes someone a "grifter."Finally, Blake looks ahead to Contact in the Desert (albeit he'd been and gone by the time this episode was edited and posted), where many of the biggest names in ufology—including Jacques Vallée, Eric Davis, Leslie Kean, Diana Pasulka, Jeremy Corbell and George Knapp—gathered.Topics Covered:Steven Greer's Washington D.C. disclosure eventJaime Maussan and the Buga Sphere developmentsMike Herrera, Roderick Castle & Randy Anderson updatesMike Batista and psionic/UAP claimsThe mystery surrounding SkywatcherLue Elizon…
