I’m Over Disclosure (E353)
Tic Tac, Gimbal, GOFAST. Elizondo, Grusch, Mellon. AAWWSAP, AATIP, AARO. Brad is back, ensconced in a space-time bubble, to take on the latest UFO film blockbuster with the guys: “The Age of Disclosure”. It’s the most credentialed UFO film to date, featuring 35 government insiders, and smashing all box office records. Somehow, this same intelligence community that allegedly ran eight decades of deception, is now to be trusted? Find out why, even though he’s “the UFO guy”, Brad is over disclosure, and this film was the final nail in that coffin.
Thank you for being a patron of QAA

“It’s well lit”
This is a topic I went & made a conscientious effort to inform myself about over recent years, and while ironically I gradually had my mind changed on it, having to accept I hadn't actually been thinking like the Adult In The Room I'd figured and that sometimes there really IS a whimsical alien contraption in the sky after all, I can also see now how hoping for the big historic My-Fellow-Americans moment is like counting on Wile E. Coyote to tell the world what roadrunners taste like. It's both hilarious & maddening that people like this who claim the inside scoop that it's lil guys from another star or dimension in literal spaceships they can crack open & crib Alcubierre Drive blueprints from, AND smarmy little weenies like J.D. Vance or those Pentagon hoopleheads mentioned here who say it's "demons," are all so very obviously being lead around by the nose by the phenomenon itself, which just compounds with the maneuvering of intelligence & military-industrial outfits that don't even realize they're eating out of its figurative hand as much as anyone (or they DO, and it's making them even more insane & paranoid & secretive). It's very likely just smoke & mirrors all the way up—The real secret of the flying saucers is that you mustn't worry about or believe in flying saucers any more than you have to. Decades ago the majority of the genuinely serious & learned investigators converged around the notion that MAYBE it's some kinda Arthur C. Clarkean / "Roadside Picnic"-ass form of existence so utterly beyond us (or so existentially different) that it literally may not be safe for us to encounter it & it's implications overtly without the padding of ambiguity & deniability, so for now it/they will continue imagineering nesting-dolls of forever tantalizingly elusive encounters & enigmas to playfully snip & sculpt around our collective psychosocial edges like their lil bonsai tree. Maybe part of it is to try to nudge us toward some vital discovery about the subjective aspects of existence by forcing more reliance on them, or to push us to outgrow our dependence on hierarchical permission to believe our lyin' eyes & neighbors' words. Or maybe they just exploit us for some esoteric mind-macguffin we don't even realize we secrete; you can just conjecture forever. Maybe some part of all that is even not *entirely* wrong. Whatever, it's probably fine. The more desperate you are to unravel the full mystery for the world to see the more vulnerable you are to being judo'd into just unraveling & publicly humiliating yourself instead. If there IS some way for mere humans to be initiated into a glimpse behind the curtain, it's probably because every time it stays just their little secret.
Linda Moulton Howe is my fav ufo documentarian. She interviewed these two ‘soldiers’ in a hotel room about the Antarctica base. At one point the guys convince her someone is coming to kill them so have to take a break from filming to hide.
Jake! Check out Arknights Endfield!
I served in the Army and I am insane
Agartha seems to be the kind of neonazi wink wink conspiracy version of 6-7 among genz. Wtf? Any chance you could look into it?
Also a disclosure day EP would be fun. I think my fave David Koepp script is still bad influence, and probably always will be.
I'm wondering if Brad knows the yt channel Weird reads with Emily Louise - y'all seem like you would have a good chat
These kind of dudes have the dumbest, stupidest, lamest, most paranoid attitudes to the possibilities of interacting with aliens. Either our mission has to be seek out new civilizations so we can boldly nuke the shit out of them, and/or they're obsessed with aliens abducting them to put stuff up their butts. It's almost 2026, can't a modern one-star general put things up his own butt in the privacy of his Faraday bunker if he wants to? Please don't falsely accuse the aliens, they're probably not that into us unless you're William Shatner/Jonathan Frakes
Who are they talking about admitting murder around the 1:10 mark?
Robert Durst, focal point of The Jinx. If you haven't seen the series and aren't familiar with the story, I highly recommend watching it without looking anything up, the finale was wild. There's been very important developments and more than a little controversy following, but yeah, if you haven't seen it, look that up *after* watching.
great episode! had me laughing constantly and brad’s topics are always fab, really good work guys
Same, I get excited when I realise they'll be covering a Brad topic.
I would pay fiat currency to watch this “documentary” with Mick West. Just to see which of our heads explode first. (I hope of all my QAA parasocial friendos at least Travis that knows what I’m talking about.)
I personally would like the gov to put Zoombinis on my computer
Many thanks across the hyperbubble of non local information, Brad. The Deep Dish continues to observe your great knowledge
"Trickle-up pilledness"... that one actually made me chuckle. I rarely think Julian's jokes are funny, but this one was. Credit where it's due... good one, Julian.
Roseanne Barr was patient zero.
Hiiiii Eurovisionnnnn
Not related to this at all, but have you seen this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K-0z0j0QvPI Taylor Lorez does not understand addiction and is positing herself as an expert with a guy that did ONE study. Here's a pertinent comment on the article (no link because it means more engagement: "As an alcoholic in recovery... this is tough. Social media triggered my addiction. It has the same dopamine hit that I needed with alcohol. I know it is anecdotal. But if I replace alcohol with white-knuckling on social media for untold hours to survive, I think you miss the point. It's the same thing with gambling addicts (which I am when I got sober). The rush of finding "one good post" that encourages behaviors can DEFINITELY be a trigger. Taylor, I have always respected you. But this guy seems to be cherry-picking one study. It doesn't cover the gamut."
Pam Bondi Bondi Beach Coincidence? Discuss.
You guys hit on it: this is clearly a “documentary” made to get funds for DoD and other agencies. It is so hyper-focused on the USA that it’s comical. “America isn’t ready for this!” OK, what about Portugal or Guinea-Bissau? Are they ready? Has an alien ever visited New Zealand? What if Brazil disclosed everything they had? This is a world-wide phenomenon, apparently, but the only country that matters or can “disclose” is the USA? Fuck off with that.
This giggly episode was exactly what I needed this week.
I was going to Well Actually these nerds about Blink and Tom Deslonge's band. But I was wrong. Box Car Racers is the band with Tom and Travis. +44 is the band with Mark and Travis (and it's better, imho) Also nothing about Angels and Airwaves, the Tom Delonge solo project, about aliens and shit. They released 6 albums.
Travis is the best drummer alive. Look at this motherfucker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xEmVJHiPu-E&list=RDxEmVJHiPu-E&start_radio=1
I recall hearing about the “space time bubble” or “warp bubble” back in the 90s on a Discovery Channel special as a speculative science based solution to how faster than light travel might work. There really is no new content
“Alcubierre drive” if you wanna read more. I don’t believe FTL travel is possible but I love physics and space and alien lore. Fun episode.
Why do you guys focus on the low-hanging fruit and not have a real honest to God episode focusing on the very convincing firsthand testimonies of UFO accounts from military and other officials? Also, it's awfully big waste of space, not time. ( from contact)
They did this in the Spectral Voyager series. I suggest listening to the Socorro Saucer episode.
Love the recommendations, Brad!
How many listeners listen to QAA as their ONLY source of news (literally!). Me!! It’s all I can take. It goes down so smoothly.
You know the thing about all of these conspiratorially minded people is how they are very obviously projecting their own inflated sense of self into these narratives. From Candace Owens, to Alex Jones to all of these dorks, it always comes down to “I figured it out because I’m so special. If anyone nay says or if anything bad happens to me, it is just further proof that my ideas are so incredible and paradigm shifting.” Qanon pretty much has this line of thinking baked in and it’s no wonder that narcissists love this kind of shit.
Re Roger Waters, he also pushed for conspiracy theories that were being promoted by Russia when Russia decided to militarily intervene in Syria to support Assad. He’s not a good example
The Cool Guy to Problematic Crank Pipeline wasn’t demolished by Russia like they did with the ones that move their oil. 🫠
When we gonna get Bugonia movie night??
Great fun episode. Very enjoyable,more than the film by the sound of it ! Thanks for the non- recommendation ! More grainy footage etc 🥱 As for the UFO/ UAP visuals... Blink (182) and you'll miss it
Jake, people don't like Black Ops 7 because they clearly used AI extensively to make it. Some of the art for the achievements is literally just AI Ghibli-slop. People think the campaign was written by Gemini.
Clapper just mumbling “of course the Israeli’s and us(DOD) did 911” 🤣🤣🤣
If I were ever interviewed for a documentary about Aliens. I would just dead seriously, almost in a matter-of-fact way use Bill Paxton lines from the James Cameron film…Aliens.
So sad to hear multiple ableist jokes about Dan Crenshaw! Yes, he sucks, but he’s not the one hearing this- your listeners with visible disabilities are!
I laughed at the "solid snake congressman" But yeah
OMG you messed up the Contact quite. An awful waste of SPACE !!
Thank you! Just came to say this.
Also, closing out the doc while relying on the word of Sean Kirkpatrick was an interesting choice. Love the show!
Fun episode! But, there is far too much evidence present for me to leave snickering and giggling. I get that this stuff is a bit big headed and can seem scary if you think about it too much…..but giggling at it and calling everyone a liar doesn’t make it any less true.
I don’t think it’s scary at all; I think believing in it is actually way more comforting than accepting the reality that we’ve almost certainly never been visited by extraterrestrial life. Given the size of the universe I think it’s all but guaranteed earth isn’t the only planet with life, maybe not even the only one with intelligent life. But despite being super open minded about it (and in fact being very alien pilled when I was younger) the more “evidence” I’ve seen, the less convinced I’ve become.
It's been a while since Brad has been on. I would be interested to hear what he thinks about Ann Druyan and Carl Sagan's book The Demon-Haunted World. I can't remember all the specific points they made but I remember being convinced that demon encounters and alien encounters are phenomenologically similar and that they should be considered part of the same phenomenon either in the human mind or in the real world. I wonder which way Brad would see it?
Auto Q has sent me over the edge. I hope it’s real (that Trump had tasked Tulsi with finding out What He Needs To Know About Aliens) and that they’re right about him making a presidential statement about it
Great episode. IMO If there are any non-humans on Earth, they should subscribe to QAA. 😉
Definitely! And of course Cursed Media.
that cold open was a banger
The "space time bubble" sounds like a gross misinterpretation of the Alcubierre metric. The conceit of it is that by contracting space-time in front of a craft and expanding it behind you could have a sub lightspeed bubble that is technically moving faster or close to lightspeed. The most recent "breakthrough" I know of (stopped reading about it when i got more interested in fungus) is that instead of having an infinitely thin wall of the bubble, which would require energy on the scale of the visible universe, they could define a diffuse bubble wall which would require energy on the order of Jupiter's mass. It's a fun scifi concept but it's also like entirely scifi. It requires the existence of an exotic particle that could expand compress spacetime. Where we can see the effect of gravity is expanding. Fun to read about though. Definitely immediately tells me that the person talking about it has been high and heard someone talking about it. It was a cool paper, the Alcubierre one, and is actually what got me into choosing a physics degree.
Oh my god they use self Iicking icecream at my job and I can only hear the bigsofttitty.png selfsuck-round-up theme
These people suck so bad. It’s so cynical it’s nauseating. Imagine presenting that you sincerely believe that alien beings are visiting earth and then making it all about war between earth nations. Caveman mentality
My completely serious UFO documentary recommendation is one from the 90's called "Farewell, Good Brothers" about the contactees of the 50's and 60's. If you like Love and Saucers you'll love it.
A warp bubble like in star trek, these UAPs are actually the enterprise collecting whales to communicate with the probe.
Did Sniffies survive AmericaFest without crashing??
Their idea of a bubble as part of space travel is literally just ripping off the movie Explorers from 1985.
Julian has finally crossed the line. I wanted to hear what Jake was going to say about Zoombinis.
There's a port-a-potty where I ride my bike often that has a label printer label that just says "sniffies.com" and I really didn't want to look it up due to the fact that it was stuck to the wall of a toilet. Now I don't have to. Thank you, boys.
32 years of service and you only got 1 star? L
Oh, for recommends, maybe, if that's a thing, or if it applies for movie-watch episode status,: the light-hearted retelling of a famous alien autopsy hoax called 'Alien Autopsy' with Ant and Dec playing the pair of conmen explaining why they did it, covering the whole spectrum of credulity along the way. Tbh it REALLY looked like a slop film when tirst came across it, but eventually tested a watch one morning after a heavy weekend to an audience of spiritually limping friends nursing their indulgences in a small huddled flat and it was a pleasant surprise even kinda leaving everyone in a better mood afterwards too. Has a weird cosy caper vibe, helped with a cast of talented comedians. I dunno, it's probably a hard sell this way, it definitely was to me before I caved in during a moment of intimate weakness (not confident enough for this salesperson shit, ain't born for it) lol - just, uh, consider it less a testimonial and more an entertaining interpretation I spose. Oh and cooperates well with hangovers/comedowns? (A content label media should explore using more lol)
The era of the eternal edge. - Tbh I hadn't thought or even come across much, if any, UFO peoples who are into this disclosure stuff. Like oh you gonna trust the government and take every word of theirs at face value NOW? Seriously? Though from the way the eponymous film or series or whatever is described, it has an awfully distinct 'trump admin sanctioned for distraction' whiff about it. How much of this disclosure existed in the state it does currently, like before various pustules within trump's circle started to pander and push?
They should talk to Mick West about the videos.
One thing I’ve learnt from this podcast is that these shitty poser conspiracists have robbed us of some true believer conspiracy shit. We need to RETVRN to papier mache grey alien corpses and model spacecraft with blinking lights and mud fossils.
3 hours long train journey at 6am, costing me hundreds of £ + all my remaining PTO, to see my family for Christmas, to spend more money is slightly less painful with a few beers and this episode. Thanks guys you make life a little less shit
I hope it's Chinese technology and they use it to defeat the western capitalist devils.
They like capitalism more that Uncle Sam them saying they're still Communist is just a way for the one party rule under the CCP to continue.
It drives me crazy that conspiracy theorists don't know what the word conspiracy means. "They're going to kill me" "That's a conspiracy" "No it's not" Yes it absolutely is! You believe people are conspiring to kill you. That's a conspiracy.
Someone's might kill you randomly for no reason that's a legit fear but it's very unlikely anyone is planning it
I loved zoombinis
I love boxcar racer
did that Observables segment have fucking lightsaber noises?
A 32 million dollar deficit means they're still doing a lot better than Open AI.
"I am not a number, I am a free UAP!"
any mirage men on sniffies trying to get doTy?
Also, I'm pretty sure they stole that bubble idea from the finale of Futurama, where the professor invents that button that sends the entire universe back 10 seconds and they all end up in that safety bubble thing.
"See the film they don't want you to see" with THEM present promoting it is a pretty fuckin ballsy move. (Also, I love the Paramount. Great theater.)
THEY don’t want you to see it meanwhile sounds like they’re IN it
This one is so cute. Also, I can’t get over Jake saying “not the smartest crayon in the tool shed,” butchering half a dozen common metaphors in doing so, and Julian letting it slide. Someone is full of the holiday spirit!
the intro sent me
Julian: "what about Weezer? Do you like....-" Brad:"No! Let's not do this Julian" Lol so good.
To be fair to Jake's friends, I would probably put more stock in this "documentary" than the idea that Call of Duty is actually good this year.
David Huggins comes across as such a lovely man, and I'm so happy he and Brad crossed paths Mirage Men is a certified banger, and I can't pass up the opportunity to recommend the cultural/literary study of UFO and cryptid lore The Unidentified by Colin Dickey
This is an instant classic. You guys are cracking me up.
That was honestly unsettling (complimentary).
From the episode description alone I can already feel Brad’s pain on a deep and spiritual level.
Next premium on Sniffies?
A PERVERTS episode about sniffies with Ben Mora as a guest would be incredible
Goated episode so far
What was the crazy, self made doc that Julian was telling Jake about?
Brad Abrahams.
Omg Travis' flat delivery of disclosure every time in the opener was hilarious.
Im really enjoying the cold open of the show
Oh man this is a funny ass episode so far
I haven't heard the episode yet, but if this is about how loosing UFO-twitter killed the entusiasm, I agree sooooo much!
Jake channels a young Henry Rollins of late
zoombinis reference let’s go
Please don't tap on the glass
Hell yea, Brad ep. Spektral Voyager are some of my favorites to go back to
Disclosure!!! UFOs!! Brad !!! Take me to your leader!!! 👽
👽 💜 🖼️ 🎥 🛸
An absolutely fantastic intro! I always love when you have Brad on. He's always brings a subject that tickles my brain
What are we? Bats! What do we want? Disclosure! When do we want it? Riiiiiight Noooow!
Liv Agar
Damn, Liv is sounding different this episode?
Yeah that was an absolute shit documentary filled with grifters and the people who love them
I've never been this early
Brad episode!
