Two Air Force intel veterans explain how they ended up in “The Program” documentary
Joe opens by introducing Jason Sands and Lenval Logan as former Air Force master sergeants featured in the UFO disclosure documentary The Program. Both outline their career paths from aircraft maintenance into intelligence roles that brought them near UAP-related work.
- •Jason: 22 years USAF, moved from airframes to intel; claims introduction to “The Program” during intel work
- •Lenval: 21.5 years USAF, B-52 crew chief to intel; later part of the UAP Task Force
- •How each was approached/‘outed’ into participating in the documentary
- •Framing: they will focus on unclassified experiences and culture, not weapon/tech specifics
- 2:26 – 4:14
Jason’s childhood UFO sighting: a silent red orb and a reflective craft
Jason recounts a shared childhood encounter with his mother: a red orb approaches his window and a polished, mirror-like craft is seen near the street before taking off silently. Joe presses for sensory details—size, noise, and corroboration.
- •Red orb seen descending/approaching his bedroom window; mother witnesses departure
- •Craft described as silent, polished, oblong/reflective
- •Estimated size ~30–40 feet
- •Jason filed it away for years and later questioned whether it was real
- 4:14 – 9:49
First ‘program’ confirmation: intercepted calls about an NHI named “Eben” and lab interviews
Jason says his ‘this is real’ moment came while on an intel mission (Wright-Patterson context) when he monitored a call discussing an NHI presence in labs. He describes a recorded/forensically reliable intercept about an interview with an entity called Eben and implied threats over “equipment and prisoners.”
- •Wright-Patterson AFB context; Joe clarifies NHI terminology
- •Jason: intel role included monitoring communications; recordings made to forensic standards
- •Intercepted discussion of a session/interview with “Eben”
- •Call references returning “equipment” and “prisoners,” with consequences if not complied with
- •Jason distinguishes what he can discuss (culture/presence) vs. tech/weapons details
- 9:49 – 11:52
Retrievals, ‘psionics,’ and corporate interests: how craft are allegedly brought down
The conversation pivots to the retrieval pipeline and how craft might be forced to land—either through consciousness/psionic interaction or kinetic methods. Jason emphasizes the role of defense contractors and mercenary-style teams motivated by reverse-engineering value.
- •Jason claims he was asked to join retrievals and refused due to biological/hazmat concerns
- •Psionic/consciousness-controlled craft: idea that teams can “get in the headspace” to induce landing
- •Kinetic takedowns framed as ‘ugly’ and driven by high-value targeting
- •Defense contractors (e.g., Lockheed/Northrop) portrayed as primary treasure-hunters for tech
- •Back-engineering motive: superior propulsion/weapons and strategic advantage
- 11:52 – 22:16
Why do ‘advanced’ craft crash? Roswell radar, storms, and skepticism
Joe challenges the plausibility of crashes if the visitors are technologically superior. Jason and Lenval float explanations—radar waveforms disrupting avionics, storms/electrical effects, arrogance, and periodic visitation—while Joe compares it to basic travel risk planning.
- •Jason: Roswell explanation tied to microwave radar waveform disrupting systems
- •Lenval adds storm/magnetism analogy and notes claims of two craft
- •Comparison to Varginha crash stories and storm correlation
- •Joe’s devil’s-advocate argument: advanced visitors should anticipate radar/weather
- •Idea of periodicity: not always present; timing surprises and countermeasures
- 22:16 – 28:56
What do ‘they’ want? Multiple factions, controlled interaction, and the “farmers” hypothesis
The discussion broadens into motives: curiosity, entertainment, management of violent species, and the possibility of multiple non-human groups with different agendas. Jason claims interactions are tightly controlled by the NHI, including rules about humans not observing lab work directly.
- •Lenval’s recurring question: “Which one?”—not a single unified ‘they’
- •Joe proposes a cosmic monitoring role: preventing self-annihilation of emerging civilizations
- •Jason: alleged NHI demands—no humans in labs while they work; controlled exchange
- •Analogy to human wildlife research (collars, tracking) as precedent for studying humans
- •Speculation that advanced species may be more unified (world government) than humans
- 28:56 – 41:48
Evolution, body design, and mind-controlled craft: why many beings are depicted as humanoid
Joe and guests explore convergent evolution and whether life elsewhere repeats patterns (birds/rats) or diverges radically (octopi). They speculate about upright “humanoid” forms, genetic engineering, and the consistent claim that some craft have minimal physical controls and interface with consciousness.
- •Convergent evolution vs. radical exceptions; octopus as an Earth ‘outlier’ example
- •Lenval: many reported types (gray/nordic/mantis/draconian) stand upright—possible ‘grand design’
- •Genetic engineering as explanation for forms optimized for strength/durability (mantis/exoskeleton)
- •Craft interface claims: no buttons/levers; being-and-craft ‘one’ via consciousness
- •Hands-on “pads” for minor adjustments; Lazar-style hand placement mentioned
- 41:48 – 1:00:08
CE5-like contact, ‘the woo,’ and why summoning might be risky
Lenval argues the public can potentially engage directly without government as middleman, drawing a parallel to religion and priests. They discuss reports of intention-based contact and Skinwalker Ranch-style fear effects, while Joe warns that a profound encounter could destabilize normal life.
- •Lenval’s view: government as unnecessary middleman; people exploring meditation/RV/contact methods
- •Concern: if entities can influence minds, emotions like fear/love could be induced and misread
- •Joe cites hypnosis/cult dynamics (“Holy Hell”) as a human analog for powerful experiences
- •Lenval’s reluctance to ‘run toward the woo’ and humorous Skinwalker Ranch hesitation
- •Idea: stigma suppression vs. growing openness; why people still hesitate to disclose experiences
- 1:00:08 – 1:12:15
Separating truth from performance: orbs, TV incentives, and analyst-style vetting
Joe and Lenval compare credible single-incident witnesses to people who fabricate for attention, including Joe’s prank-show experience where many willingly invented UFO stories on camera. Lenval describes the analytic frustration of receiving evidence with no context, while they discuss perception cues that reveal hoaxes (miniature-car photos analogy).
- •Joe recounts Skinwalker Ranch interviews: many dubious claims vs. one compelling orb story
- •Lenval shares a modern orb photo/story from conference attendees (orb in doorway, ‘heartbeat’ pulsing)
- •Joe’s “Game Show in My Head” anecdote: people frequently invent abduction stories for TV time
- •Analyst need for context: provenance, witness reliability, metadata, surrounding circumstances
- •Miniature-car photo analogy: subtle cues trigger ‘fake’ detection; parallels to UAP image assessment
- 1:12:15 – 1:27:41
Jason’s Nellis Test Range account: videotaped UAP, ‘no-ears’ being, telepathic conversation
Jason gives his central alleged encounter: after being shown a Nellis-range UAP video and asked to sign in, his convoy encounters a pale, uniformed figure with oversized eyes and no ears. He claims a telepathic translation occurred as the being requested “tritium” to repair a nearby craft and expressed disgust at going to “barbarians and murderers” at Dreamland.
- •Jason’s role: comms monitoring/red force training at Nellis; explains range operations
- •Nellis Test Range UFO 1994 video: automated tracking struggles to lock on; audio chatter referenced
- •Post-video sign-in: names recorded; emphasis on controlling discussion/leaks
- •Road encounter: pristine BDUs in dirty environment; pale/blue undertone; “no ears,” large eyes
- •Telepathic comprehension despite unknown spoken language; request for tritium and craft repair
- •Emotional ‘wave’ of disgust at Dreamland suggestion; being leaves abruptly toward its craft
- 1:27:41 – 1:53:00
Aftereffects: missing memories, star map (Leo/Reticuli), and lasting ‘community of consciousness’
Jason describes lingering cognitive artifacts: companions appear ‘zombied’ and later don’t recall details; later he experiences missing time and retains a vivid star map image he reproduced for David Grusch. He links this to Zeta Reticuli/Leo constellation associations and says the telepathic experience left him with an enduring sense of civility and shared consciousness.
- •Companions’ altered state and partial amnesia; only trailing convoy members recall stop more clearly
- •Later compulsion to eat outside; missing memory after walking down road; flashes of aerial viewpoint
- •Star map reproduced for Grusch; Grusch identifies constellation Leo and a red star association
- •Jason concludes the red star represented the being’s ‘home’ after ‘residue memory’ returns
- •Claims: telepathic ‘download’ included technical imagery (nano-channeling, toroidal energies)
- •Personal change: persistent peace/civility and sense of a broader consciousness community
- 1:53:00 – 2:46:39
Disclosure politics and intimidation claims: clearance interference, secrecy, and the NJ drone wave
The final stretch mixes whistleblower dynamics with contemporary drone events. Jason alleges intimidation (clearance issues, car break-in) and argues secrecy hides past ‘bad decisions’ (e.g., Roswell handling). They dissect the New Jersey drone explanation, question SCIF briefings for an ‘authorized’ activity, and propose obfuscation theories (covering NHI activity, searching for dirty nukes/HVTs).
- •Jason: fear of coordinated whistleblowers gathering; perceived risk of retaliation
- •Alleged intimidation: clearance ‘administrative’ blockage preventing employment
- •Moral critique: Roswell treated as loot/experimentation rather than repatriation/etiquette
- •NJ drones briefing: official line (FAA authorized + hobbyists); skepticism about timing/SCIF use
- •Analyst questions: why not issue a NOTAM; why classified briefings; why no clear public wrap-up
- •Obfuscation theory: mix conventional drones with anomalous objects to ‘explain away’ sightings
- •Alternative theories: dirty nuke search, counterterror/HVT scanning; global drone incursions over bases
- •Lenval introduces public-driven approach and his reporting app “Phenom” for UAP/paranormal/cryptid data
