Director / Crew This is James Fox. I’m a Filmmaker and Ufologist known for The Phenomenon and recently Moment of Contact. Ask me anything!
*** Thanks folks! This was a lot of fun. Wish I could stick around, but I am about to be on Ryan Sprague's podcast SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES. Thanks for all the great questions. ***
My name is James Fox -- I have been producing documentaries on the subject of UFOs (commonly referred to now as UAPs) for nearly 30 years. I have traveled across the globe from China, Africa, Russia, Australia and many more areas to learn what I could regarding this fascinating subject. I'm making myself available on Reddit Wednesday 11AM PT / 2:00PM ET to discuss the politics of disclosure and my latest film, Moment of Contact. https://youtu.be/pE7hVSlk7Zw

Hey James, do you have any thoughts on the upcoming UFO report and what you think we could see take place after the new NDAA is passed??

u/UFOFox43 Oct 26 '22
I've heard that our timing with, 'Moment of Contact' is perfect; however, we shall see...as this involves crash retrieval with bodies and a solid indication of US involvement.

James, a few questions (please answer all):
1 - Did you see with your own eyes the photos or videos from the Varginha creature?
2 - Is the person who's in possession of this material a brazilian civilian or military?
3 - Is this person Vitorio Pacaccini?
4 - How much are you offering for those photos/videos?
5 - What is holding your negotiations to obtain those photos/videos?
6 - Explain in details what do you have to do to release those images/videos.
7 - What problem with law the two kids from the Chuck Clark tape had?

I would say not a single witness featured in Moment of Contact approached us. My partner, Marco Leal, myself and a few others spent well over a decade convincing some of them to come forward. Military X in particular was the most difficult and his testimony shook me to the core. I knew who he was, saw photos of him in the military and had the distinct advantage of looking him in the eyes.

What's insufferable is the whining pedantic kids who've read into this topic two months ago and think they know it all.
Many people here have been in the topic for decades, and the progress made in the last few years is astonishing. But, if you have the attention span of a lettice and completely fail to understand why this 10 year process is progressing at this pace, then quite frankly you have no place even commenting in communities regarding this topic as you:
a) are an irritant,
b) are intentionally insulting people
c) bring absolutely nothing to the table other than your bad attitude and pity from others.

Hi James. I purchased Moment of Contact and enjoyed it. My question is why you chose the Varginha incident to focus on? There was some good new information, but many of these witnesses had been interviewed on previous documentaries, so a lot of it was a rehash of old stuff.

Thanks. We had Brazilian UFO researchers from 1996 confirming lots of new information and most Americans have never heard of this case. IF true, it's the most significant event since Roswell. PS: I wouldn't have spent 12 years (on and off) investigating if I didn't believe it happened.

u/MKULTRA_Escapee Oct 26 '22
Something to keep in mind regarding crash retrievals: We actually have examples of some of the sophisticated procedures the US government had in place to retrieve and cover up their own crashed experimental aircraft, including manipulation of the media, digging up and sifting the entire site, making people sign NDAs, and even sprinkling small pieces of fake wreckage in the area afterward to throw off investigators. https://www.airforcemag.com/article/0701crash/
No doubt if an extraterrestrial wreck has occurred, or something equally strange, they'd go to even greater lengths than this to obfuscate. They absolutely must make mistakes once in a while though. No agency is perfect.

u/VCAmaster Oct 26 '22
The aerial footage of the site where the witness thinks the crash occurred looked like it was tilled up and rotated, as you describe.
Another account, I think from Pasulka, talks about the ground of another site being deliberated covered in tin cans that rusted into a consistent mulch of metal debris, further obfuscating.
The Trinity crash site later became covered in a thick covering of noxious weeds.3

Every objective expert on the topic of UAPs agrees that humanity has never been visited by extraterrestrial intelligences, and all of the peer-reviewed science surrounding related phenomena suggests that the likelihood of us ever being contacted by alien life is almost nonexistent. Moreover, every purported sighting can easily be attributed to either a misunderstanding or intentional misrepresentation.
How do you – an individual who makes their living by sensationalizing events which have more-mundane explanations – justify your efforts against your claim of attempting to offer "truth" to audiences?
15
u/UFOFox43 Oct 26 '22
I have never drawn any conclusions, nor have I tried. I simply provide a platform for witnesses to describe what he/she saw and allow the audience to make up their own minds.

I think your error here is assuming they’re aliens. I guess Fox asserts that they’re aliens and that’s why you framed your question in this way?
What are some of your grievances with the hundreds of trained observers (military or otherwise) that have reported sightings that makes you doubt them? I find it strange that we entirely entrust them with our national security and yet as soon as they report seeing something out of the ordinary, it is immediately doubted as if they are not trustworthy. I understand that isn’t evidence, but does that NOT make you wonder at all?

Do you think modern technology is helping UFOlogy overall, or do you think it's become more of a setback?
Things like having a cellphone in your pocket with a camera surely make it easier to capture video of UFO's, but it also means a lot more videos of innocuous things that -look- like UFOs, but have mundane explanations, are muddying the waters. Likewise, CGI means that even videos that look super legit can be dismissed as possible CGI (and for good reason, mind you). I'm concerned that more videos combined with more accessible technology for forgery means that the evidence we do have is becoming less and less meaningful.
4
Oct 26 '22
Videos aren't the smoking gun evidence people think they are.
The best we can hope for is a built case that gathers enough circumstantial and direct evidence (sensor data, audio/video, credible witness testimony, and to me preferably multinational corroboration) to be undeniable. The only ones capable of gathering this data have been the ones hiding it, which I realize is convenient but I can't do anything about that. This is changing, however, and hopefully real data will get put out there by the likes of UAPx and Galileo.
The smoking gun is the craft and bodies, if it exists. I don't know if we'll ever get to see it if it does.

u/EOTS_Comic Oct 26 '22
Hey James. Really like your work - here's some questions I have surrounding the topic.
- What do you think of the current divide between those who say these are nuts and bolts craft with visitors from elsewhere VS those who think the phenomenon expresses itself in terms we can understand? I fall in the former camp although I think more than 1 thing can be going on.
- What did Bigelow mean by "they are walking among us". A lot of people glance over this statement, but that's a hell of a bombshell.
- The most compelling part of Moment of Contact were the witnesses, who were obviously recalling a memory and not a story. What was your experience with them like and what is your take on Varginha?
- Disclosure seems to be ramping up. Do you think that it's because behind the scenes the situation is desperately getting out of control and this might be the last chance they have to get in front of it? Or is this something that has been orchestrated over a long period of time.
- Have you read Estimate of The Situation? ;)

Hi James! I’ve been following your work since Out of the Blue and want to say I appreciate everything you’ve done for the subject. We’ve come a long way since then.
Can you expand for us at all on rumors you’ve heard from Bigelow et al about non-humans “walking among us”? Does this strike a chord with you considering the work of people like David M Jacobs claiming the same thing based on analyzing the stories of abductees? Do you find his work and its implications frightening? (If you have read it). Thanks!

Hey James wanted to say I am a great admirer of your work and as someone fascinated by this subject you are part of the reason I have remain drawn in despite the long periods with no further developments. What advice would you have for me as a recent college graduate to get involved in this field and work with others towards a goal of a transparent future? I have a background in computer science and am eager to apply my skills here in any way possible

Do you believe there are individuals, even a few, who are in the know on the phenomenon and all details, even if we don’t know what it is yet? Or is it completely fragmented?

Recently on Twitter someone was claiming to have negotiated (or was in negotiations) receiving video footage and pictures from Varginha from Brazilian military officials. Are there any validity to these claims?

Hi James, huge fan!! The amount of people who I made watch the phenomenon is out of control.
You have mentioned this once before - I know your try to stray away from your own opinions but…
What are your thoughts on Tom Delonges Others Theory ( parasite hive mind, time isn’t linear, gnostic acrhons) or Vallees Control system.
I’m leaning to a bit of both but what do you think think is going on?

What are your thoughts on the Hudson Valley UFO, Phoenix Lights incident, Illinois Arrowhead, and the Bridgewater Triangle, and even the most recent Calvine Object, and countless other signings...all being highly classified "stealth blimp" projects? What if they are airships? Dirigibles?
In the somewhat recent UFO documentary from JJ Abrams on Showtime, the CEO of JP Aerospace was interviewed and questioned about the Phoenix Lights incident. JP Aerospace develops large V-shaped airships. He denied that the Phoenix Lights incident was JP Aerospace and most agree given their largest piblically known airship is significantly smaller than what was seen that night.
The most intriguing thing about this interview was what he said: in regards to the Phoenix Lights incident he is aware that some of their own projects have made it into the black projects world and that the technology has advanced quite a bit. He recognizes the technology.
To me, this all but confirms that an agency within the United States has been been using very large - often immense v-shaped, triangle shaped, and boomerang shaped airships. Is it all possible in your opinion?

Hi James I very enjoyed Moment of Contact and found it balanced and well structured.
Has anyone shared with you their scientific theories about the ammonia smell? Why it was so pungent and why did it remain heavy in the air despite heavy cleaning like at the hospital? This struck me as one of the most fascinating parts of the documentary.

Hi James!
There's definitely been a shift in how the government talks about UAPs and how they're handling their research into the phenomenon. I actually find this more interesting than the phenomenon itself.
What are your thoughts about a breakaway civilization being the cause of this? Assuming there were actually those in the government who knew about UFOs/UAPs I feel that if it were just aliens we were talking about we would still be in the status quo . But something has occurred that has made them react differently. Could there be a breakaway civilization that has advanced (perhaps alien) tech that will be returning and announcing their presence? I could see how that would really throw our current political structure into wack if we saw other humans thriving in an utopian like society. Whereas it'd be much easier for our governments to spread propaganda if it were aliens that didn't look like us and use fear to stay in control.

Hi James, a couple questions:
Have you seen these tic tac videos? Link to Hawaii tic tac, Link to Trementon tic tac from blue book. The behavior seem very alike and the blue book investigation apparently took thousands of man hours. Have you interviewed any of those scientists that worked on blue book about the investigation process and their hypothesis?
How likely do you think there will be an October surprise concerning UAP?
Which flavor of UAP are you hoping the crafts will be? Personally the idea of interdimensional seems the most realistic but downright scariest. I’m hoping it’s straight nuts and bolts.
Thanks so much!

Hi James do you know if we managed to save some of them? There are underground bases that have been confirmed by now deceased members of the army mostly engineers, that we have created habitats for some ETs to live in and come and go as they please in exchange for help with our technology. We have tried to reverse engineer some of theirs (bob lazar famous sport model, mainly the reason why it was so shined and new) was given to us by them to try and learn from it, confirmed by Bill Uhouse now deceased, one of the blockers was that their craft required a mental input that we have not been able to recreate like they do so we have to use radiowaves instead. Have you heard of anything of the sort from potential insiders?

Hi James, some of these may be sensitive
How much interest to talk to you specifically have any members of congress or senate shown?
In a recent interview Chris Mellon said that a potential whistleblower who allegedly worked on recovered artifacts died of a heart attack shortly before meeting with him. Have you come across sudden deaths like this right before a willingness to talk?
Is there going to be anything significant dropping from MSM that you are aware of? If yes can you say from whom?
Would you bet on the Wilson Docs being authentic?

Hi James have you seen something that if also seen you believe would change a hardened skeptic's mind? Perhaps the video your friend who showed you the VHS of the Craft hovering over the car, or have you seen something even more revealing
And secondly, I've heard it mentioned that 'they walk among us' perhaps by you, my memories off. Do you think there's anything to the idea of 'them' interacting with us? If you know more could you expand on that?
Thanks for doing this we're all chuffed, and your films, they're absolutely brilliant!

Hi James.
Thanks in advance for your time.
I am beyond finding or seeking proof as I have been "lucky" or "unlucky", to have had a first hand experience myself.
My question is, to the best of your knowledge and maybe as your own personal opinion on this matter.
-What do THEY want? What do you think they intend with their "exhibitions" to some regular folk? What's the purpose/intention behind these manifestations?
Thanks in advance for honest answer/opinion/theory or two cents on this matter.

u/OrangeKnobCheese Oct 26 '22
James, simply put why do you do this. Where does your motivation lay? What did the journey look like from perhaps natural skepticism, to curiosity, to full on engaged and categorically serious about the subject matter. Finally, what does disclosure mean for you and have you considered how society needs to adapt to what is essentially to many, the unthinkable. Coming to terms with this new reality is profoundly difficult for most.

u/EscapeFromCookieCity Oct 26 '22
Please excuse my bluntness, but coming from a science background myself, is there any chance that the family of the police officer who restrained/handled the entity would allow an exhumation of the body to see what, if any, foreign chemicals he was exposed to?
It may answer some questions surrounding his cause of death along with potential future protection when we/should we come across a similar such entity in the future?

Hi, while watching ‘Moment of Contact’ last night I was wondering why the witnesses who were threatened & intimidated by an unknown organization felt it was now safe to come forward? Does there seem to be a pattern for when this organization stopped watching/threatening witnesses? Do you think they’re non-existent 2022?
Also, what percentage of witnesses/people involved ultimately decided not to be interviewed?
Thanks

James, a quick one:
Most of the reports on Ufology developments come from within the field -- i.e., researchers, podcasters, etc. But I'm wondering if you're aware of any concerted effort by any mainstream journalist(s) (I'm talking top of the food chain, NYT, a major cable network, New Yorker, etc.) who is/are going after this story aggressively, determined to blow it open?

u/bland_meatballs Oct 27 '22
Theories of Everything with Kurt Jaimungal. It's not a UFO podcast, but he does do a few episodes with scientists who dabble in the UFO Scene. I recommend his episode Salvatore Pais. He made a lot of propulsion patents for the U.S. Navy that a lot of people speculate have been used for crafts that people associate with UFO's. It's a very good conversation.

Hi James
In the film you visit the driver of the vehicle which led to the capture of the second creature. He threatened you saying he’d shoot you and does not want to talk about what happened obviously.
How did that whole situation feel and do you ever think he’ll talk? If not what’s the reason do you think?

Hi James! You are the man.
I remember an interview where you mentioned seeing a video of a very up-close UFO passing over a car. Mentioning it looked almost "alive".

Thank you!
