Baxter took on the job of reading the paperwork so nobody else has to, and he returns with a skeptic's field report on what the government handed over, and what it quietly left out. From a Nevada billionaire's decades-long influence campaign to a $22 million taxpayer-funded hunt for the strange at a remote Utah ranch, the trio traces how fringe belief got bootstrapped into official policy - and asks whether the whole disclosure spectacle is meant to illuminate anything at all, or just to bury the question under an avalanche of unanalyzed data. Along the way: anglerfish, ice cream cones, and an epistemological war we didn't even know we'd been drafted into. 🎧 What's Inside🛸 What \"PURSUE\" actually stands for - and what the release did and didn't include 🏛️ AARO decoded: why \"all-domain\" is more than a rebrand 💰 The billionaire whose private money quietly seeded decades of official UFO research 👻 The \"two agendas\" baked into disclosure from the start (hint: it was never only about spacecraft) 🍦 A former government UAP chief's memorable verdict on the whole enterprise 🎣 The anglerfish test: what real extraordinary evidence actually looks like ⚔️ The \"epistemological war\" - and why skeptics feel like they brought a calculator to a shouting match 🪐 What some disclosure advocates are really hoping to find out there Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/monstertalk--6267523/support .
