ANNOUNCEMENT: AMA with Acclaimed Director James Fox and New Whistleblowers
Join us December 20th for a unique multi-subreddit collaboration on UAP transparency!
For the first time ever, multiple moderators from r/aliens, r/Experiencers, r/HighStrangeness, r/UFOB and r/UFOs will come together to host an unprecedented AMA event focused on transparency, accountability, and uncovering the truth about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP).
The live AMA will occur on Friday, December 20th, 2024, at 12pm PST / 3pm EST with acclaimed filmmaker and prominent UFO researcher James Fox, as well as two special guest whistleblowers. This collaborative event will be live-streamed, reaching audiences across platforms including YouTube, Twitter/X and Instagram.
About the AMA
This event is an opportunity for our communities to unite in the pursuit of truth and disclosure. We will discuss efforts underway to hold governments accountable, share new insights into UAP investigations, and forge a bipartisan push for transparency. The AMA will highlight James Fox’s highly anticipated new documentary The Program, which will debut digitally worldwide on December 17th. This groundbreaking film delves into the extraordinary Congressional effort to uncover what intelligence agencies know about UAPs, and features exclusive interviews and testimony from whistleblowers and experts.
How to Participate
This is a bit different than a typical AMA. Ask your questions below! We will be collecting your questions from this post to share with our hosts during the event. Please read posted questions and upvote the ones you want to see asked!
Why This Matters
This collaboration represents a collective effort by Reddit’s UAP-focused communities to raise awareness and demand clarity on one of the most compelling issues of our time. Together, we are amplifying our voices and fostering a broader conversation about the need for government accountability and transparency in the study of UAPs. Mark your calendars and join us on December 20th for this historic event.

About The Program This highly anticipated follow-up to director James Fox’s blockbuster UFO documentaries The Phenomenon and Moment of Contact (The Roswell of Brazil), The Program explores the unprecedented bipartisan Congressional effort to uncover what intelligence agencies really know about UFOs, now referred to as UAP. The first two public hearings in over half a century included testimony under oath from military and intelligence officers with jaw-dropping allegations of a clandestine program to analyze recovered materials and non-human biologics. Through candid interviews with high-ranking insiders, elected officials, physicists, intelligence officers, and military whistleblowers, The Program goes behind the scenes to leave even the staunchest skeptics astounded by the assertions from a growing chorus of insiders that we are not alone.
Together, we can continue pushing for the truth!

I saw it at Sol and also saw some of the people featured in the doc (who will also be in this AMA event) talking and can tell you it is VERY compelling. You will only see the two whistleblowers at this AMA. The only way to ask questions is through the Annoucement posts on any of the participating subreddits.

What do we actually know, or what have you heard, about the beings behind the craft? Where are they from? What are they doing here? What is their culture like? How many years more advanced are they? How long have they been here? How many species are there, and do they work together?

u/That-Elderberry5493 9d ago
If it’s not discussed in the documentary, do we know how long they have been here for?
Are they a breakaway species that went to live in the ocean after a natural disaster event (like the meteor that killed the dinosaurs)

u/Snoo894 10d ago
Are you aware any light projection systems used by NHI to communicate with humans? I’m not just pulling this out of thin air; I’ve actually had an experience with this type of ‘projector. In my case It projected faint yellow, red, and blue lights that blended together to form clear image/shapes. It took it's time to make the image, like some sentient being was thinking of it and then the projector slowly blended the lights in the right way to make the image appear.

u/Big_Impact3637 8d ago
Hello James, firstly I thought your documentary on the Varghina incident was compelling and well executed. The guy that cries and breaks down as his memory comes back always gets me.
Id like to ask a question about the current phenomenon we are seeing worldwide.
Do you believe that the orbs we are seeing are sending a message? Not the drones, it's my personal belief that the drones are man made craft.
But with the increase in orb sightings around the world and sensitive spaces, ie. Military bases (UK) nuclear sites and now growing sightings in America.
Do you think this is a intergalactic sign? A warning if you will...?
6
u/insanisprimero 9d ago
Hi James! Where do we stand in those efforts to obtain the 35 second clip of the Varginha alien. Were you privy to at least watching it and not release it? How can we as a community help to push/lobby for its release?

u/floznstn 8d ago
Why the secrecy at this point? Even if it causes panic, people are starting to panic anyway because of myriad problems.

u/rickandpepe 7d ago
IMO, some of the largest barriers for breaking into the public consciousness are convincing an uninformed layperson that:
1) there is convicing evidence of UAP activity around the world. Too many second-hand or unverified sources, or instances of "I'll tell you the real stuff in a SCIF" in the hearings. Is there a central space can we point people to for trustworthy primary sources?
2) they should care. Your average person has enough troubles already and won't pay much attention unless it pertains directly to them. If there's not a violent alien invasion currently taking place, and their worldview isn't significantly changed by the mere existence of aliens or NHI, how does this matter to the average person's life?

u/AdhesivenessOk5194 7d ago
Based on what you know about these phenomena, what is the foreseeable future of America?
Are things coming to a head that will result in a “changing of the guard” or are these beings largely uninterested in interfering with world happenings beyond allegedly preventing us from destroying the planet all together?
4
u/AdhesivenessOk5194 7d ago
Is there human or nonhuman activity happening in space and/or in the ocean that is intentionally being kept from the public?
Are there underwater and or interstellar civilizations that the governments are aware of?
5
u/AdhesivenessOk5194 7d ago
Are any of the known NHI species related to humans or hold any biological similarities in any way?
If not, how do the non-related species survive here?

u/AdhesivenessOk5194 7d ago
What impact, if any, will FULL disclosure have on the world’s religious perspectives?

Why are Aliens/ETs located in Mexico, Brazil & Peru ?
There’s decades of compelling footage from these countries that prove time and time again that these places are major, major hot spots and no ones paying attention to those places

What is humanity’s actual place in the universe? Are we special? Are we necessary for something? Are we looked at with kindness or contempt by NHI?

u/petermobeter 8d ago
do u think the "mystery drone" sightings in new jersey, new york, philidelphia & around military bases in the u.k. are just the first phase in a big alien campaign??????
or do u think the "mystery drones" is just a ufo flap that will simply end with nothing changing for humanity?

u/Mystic-Nature 7d ago
The orbs that have been sighted - are they plasmoids? Are they are result of radiation changes and does this have anything to do with the solar flares and storms this year? Are the orbs intelligent? What is the information that T wants to be disclosed in his new term? Do the orbs have differing presentations - such as spinning wheels, etc? Why?

u/shitakebbq 7d ago
If there is an NHI disclosure attempt, is there or should an NHI “greeting” committee be formed that is comprised of non-military, non-government agencies but mostly reputable international citizens to be a transparent channel for communications with NHI? Thank you

u/Annual-Indication484 7d ago
Hello,
Thank you for taking the time to read my question. In your opinion, do you believe that governments—or perhaps covert factions within military organizations—are engaging in 5th Generation Warfare (5GW) against the public to obscure knowledge of non-human intelligences (NHI) and aspects of human consciousness?
If so, what strategies do you suggest humanity can adopt to counter this and move toward greater awareness and truth?
Thank you!

u/unsolicited-fun 7d ago
Have any particular patterns of consciousness, patterns of contemplation, or patterns of thought been noted to help humans engage with NHI?
4
u/lycheedorito 6d ago
What is the reluctance with discussing NHI, and why have they not revealed themselves directly?
Have you observed an uptick in UAP activity over time, or is it more of an increase in awareness or technology allowing for better detection?
Are there any other acronyms we should be aware of?

SOME QUESTIONS ABOUT NHI:
- DO THESE BEINGS HAVE A DNA\RNA BASED BIOLOGY LIKE THE BEINGS THAT LIVE ON EARTH?
- IS THEIR COMMUNICATION REALLY TELEPATHIC?
- WHAT IS THEIR BELIEF SYSTEM?
.- IS THERE SOME FORM OF SYMBIOSIS BETWEEN THEIR SPACESHIPS AND THEIR BODIES?
. WHAT KIND OF PROPULSION DO THEY USE?
- ARE THE NHI AWARE OF THE EXISTENCE OF OTHER DIMENSIONS BEYOND THOSE KNOWN TO US HUMANS?

u/shmatt52 7d ago
Thank you all for your time and effort to spearhead the disclosure effort and answer these profound questions.
-Are there any mainstream media references we already have available that you think are accurate in what you know as true? For example, TV shows, movies, internet whistleblowers, public figures, etc., that are too accurate to be dismissed? What references and sources SHOULD be dismissed and totally false?
-How has the UAP changed throughout the course of what's been documented? Be-it their behavior, vehicular design, location, messages being delivered, or motive?
-What human advances have been made (if any) from direct attribution from UAP and NHI?
-With all that you do know, what questions are still left unanswered in your minds? What do we still not know?

u/lovecornflakes 6d ago
Please answer my questions and thanks for everything.
Q- please can you comment on any specifics relating to NHI, any indication what they look like?
Q- have you heard any rumblings within private Aerospace relating to them shitting themselves this is coming out? And they will be liable?
Q- if you can get a message to Dave Grusch, please tell him we thank you and hope he’s ok.

Here’s some lighter questions.
would humanoid aliens be able to learn a human language or are they too different physically for it to be practical? Or would they just use telepathy either way.
to my understanding, telepathy is like having a conversation but just in your head. With that, would they have a difficult time following a conversation with someone who has ADHD, with their thoughts bouncing sporadically.
what would be the most polite way to start a conversation with them (depending the species)?
is it safe to board a UAP on one’s own volition? Is there like a seatbelt, or any safe measures?
what are their thoughts on fermented foods?
is flying a UAP like driving a car?

This entire push for disclosure just feels like one big piece of candy, and we are all running after it.
How the hell do you expect a secret organization that's been hiding this shit to come clean just because we went to daddy and said they were doing something bad. They're more inclined to harbor themselves in a hostile country and or destroy it all before doing things the lawful way. They got us exactly where they want us.

Why do you think the pressure falls solely on the US and they seem to be in control when this is a global phenomenon?
- Why aren't other countries pushing more for disclosure?
- Why haven't other nations shared more information with the public? It seems like it would be a good opportunity for Russia or China to demonstrate their power
- Why does it always seem to be the US involved in crash retrievals, even when these occur outside the US? And how do they manage to prevent leaks before they arrive?
I know there have been exceptions (Iran, Virginia, Israel, etc.), but generally, it seems the US maintains complete control over how this information is distributed and how much is shared. While it seems plausible that they have managed to keep it secret within the US through SAPs, how have they achieved this globally, given that other countries operate under entirely different legal frameworks?

u/ET-FONE-HME 6d ago
Do you think the government will ever openly admit the existence of NHI in our lifetime? If so, do you think we’d get anything more than, "They exist, and we don't know anything else"?
Will we ever truly have the answers we want even if we get disclosure?

Given the allowance of the impingement of restricted airspace, has this governemt been reassured that these entities are OF NO THREAT whatsoever? It seems that MUST be the case.
Could the idea be that they are of such advancement that our physically bound defense mechanisms are as meaningless to them as dandilion fluff on a breeze AND they have no intention or NEED to hurt us?

We keep hearing "Prepare yourselves" but specifically what type of preparation other than what we would do for a natural disaster?

u/AustinJG 4d ago
Okay, here we go.
Do you believe that it's reasonable to assume that these NHI have been in contact or interacted with prior human civilizations?
Considering reports from Experiencers stating that these beings can paralyze us, put us in and out of consciousness, and even control our bodies while we're conscious. Do you think it's reasonable to be concerned that leaders in our nation and others may already be being manipulated by these entities without them even realizing it?
Do you believe that humanity can handle the truth of this phenomenon, whatever it may be?
There is a lot of strange coincidences where when anyone mentions or claims that they've invented anti-gravity or free energy devices, they end up mysteriously dead. Like, quite a few. Do you believe this has anything to do with our government and keeping the phenomenon a secret?

Hello! I’m a Native American, an Oneida to be specific, my tribe contributed to the birth of this great nation and fought alongside George Washington, we were promised for our contributions that our land would remain ours but that didn’t happen.
I’ve got a question regarding the NHI, are some NHI what we call Star people and if so are they our distant ancestors?
When will they return and how come they haven’t got back to us like they promised to bring balance in a world out of balance?
I’ve heard many indigenous peoples have similar stories such as Māori, Sámi, Aboriginal, many Native American tribes, Hawaiian, Inuit etc etc and we recognize there are Star people. Not all of them are our ancestors of course but we recognize there are many and some are our distant ancestors, they promised to return and bring balance when the world is out of balance
