In 1971, a Costa Rican government mapping aircraft captured one of the most intriguing UFO photographs ever recorded. A mysterious disc-shaped object appeared in a single frame taken over Lake Cote, yet was absent from photographs taken just 13 seconds before and after. More than five decades later, the image remains unexplained.

Martin Willis welcomes Costa Rican attorney and researcher Esteban Carranza and filmmaker Adam Pillon to discuss their documentary, *The Cote Photo*, which takes a fresh look at this remarkable photograph, its history, and the people behind it.

Esteban explains how he inherited a rare contact copy of the original photographic negative from his uncle, leading to a high-resolution drum scan that reveals extraordinary detail. Adam describes the making of the documentary, including interviews with government cartographer Sergio Loaiza, photographic specialists, local witnesses, and journalist Leslie Kean.

They discuss the earlier investigations by Jacques Vallée and Dr. Richard Haines, claims that the object might be a camera defect or photographic artifact, and why the original film remains such an important part of the investigation. Esteban also addresses criticism concerning digital cleanup of an earlier scan and explains why a new, unretouched scan was produced and made available for public examination.

The conversation also explores reports of unusual aerial activity around Lake Cote and the nearby Arenal Volcano, the possibility of objects entering or emerging from the water, and why firsthand witness accounts are just as important as photographic evidence.

What exactly appeared in frame 300 on September 4, 1971? Neither guest claims to know for certain, but their investigation offers a fascinating look at one of ufology's most enduring photographic mysteries.

What happens when a UFO skeptic purchases property on a remote island in Patagonia, only to encounter something he cannot explain? Martin Willis welcomes Indy Pederson, author of *Sacrificing Humanity: The UFO Is a Portent of Nuclear War*, for a fascinating discussion about extraordinary close encounters, mysterious orbs, alleged UFO bases, government secrecy, and the potential connection between UAPs and nuclear weapons.

Pederson recounts how local residents in southern Chile warned him that the island where he had purchased property was known for UFO activity. Initially dismissing their stories, he says his skepticism vanished following a terrifying nighttime encounter. While traveling with his business partner, Pederson claims a luminous, bowling-ball-sized orb maneuvered toward their vehicle, coming within approximately two feet of his window. Even more astonishing, he describes the object beginning to change shape, apparently taking on the form of a humanoid being.

The conversation also explores Pederson's allegations of government and military intelligence interference involving his island property, reports of unexplained cattle mutilations, possible underwater UFO activity, and his concerns about UAP encounters near nuclear missile installations.

Drawing from his book and personal experiences, Pederson examines whether the UFO phenomenon represents something more significant than unexplained objects in our skies, and whether its reported interest in humanity's nuclear capabilities could carry a warning about our future.

Join Martin Willis on Podcast UFO as we explore one man's remarkable journey from skepticism to conviction and the questions his experiences raise about the nature of the UFO phenomenon.

**Guest:** Indy Pederson

Indy Pederson is an entrepreneur and founder of five corporations, four of which hold his island project that was building a $60 million private island resort on an undeveloped national park the size of Maui in Patagonia, Chile, one of the safest locations on the entire planet in the event of nuclear war, that ironically turned out to be a “known UFO base.” Unlike whistleblowers who have signed NDAs and can’t say anything, he has had UFO encounters few have ever had and has come to shocking conclusions especially in regards to orbs being delivery vehicles for aliens and their taking over control of our nuclear missile command and control.
To research this book, he visited major players in nuclear war in 30 countries for over two-years of non-stop world travel including: walking into the KGB offices in Moscow and interviewing them; interviewing Colonel Yablonski, the head of the Nuclear START Agreement in Moscow; interviewing a lieutenant colonel and two generals inside Cheyenne Mountain; going deep underground in Missouri’s launch control center; interviewing Navy officials at Bangor sub base in Washington, and the nuclear Missileers at the nuclear LC (Launch Control site) at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Wyoming and Colorado. He also interviewed the Hopi Indian appointed prophet, Thomas Banyacya, in his home before he died.

(The Show is dedicated to friend, Mario Woods) Is UFO disclosure finally moving forward, or is the public only being allowed to see part of the story? This week on Podcast UFO, Martin Willis welcomes back filmmaker and MUFON Media Relations Director Ron James for a wide-ranging conversation about the rapidly changing UAP landscape, government transparency, and the people shaping the disclosure narrative.

Ron is the creator of the acclaimed documentary *Accidental Truth: UFO Revelations* and its sequel, *Accidental Truth: NEXT – Beyond UFO Disclosure*. With years of involvement in UFO research, filmmaking, and media coverage, Ron brings a perspective on developments in Washington, D.C., and the ongoing debate over what the government knows and what it is willing to reveal.

Martin and Ron will explore recent UAP file releases, Harvard astrophysicist Dr. Avi Loeb's announced leadership of a new UAP Science Advisory Council, the growing debate surrounding Lue Elizondo and the disclosure movement, and whether the public is witnessing genuine progress or a carefully managed release of information. They'll also discuss historic UFO investigations, MUFON's role in collecting and analyzing reports, and Ron's latest documentary, which looks beyond disclosure itself to the larger questions about the phenomenon and its implications for humanity.

As UFOs continue to make headlines, are we approaching a turning point, or are the biggest questions still unanswered?

Join Martin Willis and Ron James for an engaging discussion on Podcast UFO.

What is really happening in the world of UFOs and UAP disclosure, and are we any closer to understanding the phenomenon? Martin Willis welcomes Dave Scott, creator and host of Canada's popular Spaced Out Radio, for a wide-ranging conversation about UFO sightings, government secrecy, whistleblowers, extraterrestrial encounters, and the ongoing search for answers.

A former radio journalist with decades of broadcasting experience, Dave launched Spaced Out Radio in 2014 and has interviewed researchers, witnesses, experiencers, and investigators from across the world of the unexplained. Dave is also an experiencer himself, reporting personal UFO sightings and other extraordinary encounters that have influenced his perspective on the phenomenon.

Together, Martin and Dave explore the current state of UFO disclosure, the credibility of whistleblower claims, the challenges of separating evidence from speculation, and the growing divide between traditional UFO investigations and more extraordinary interpretations of the phenomenon. They also discuss the role of independent media, the influence of social media, and where UFO research may be headed next.

With two longtime broadcasters who have spent years speaking with people at the center of the UFO mystery, this promises to be an open and engaging discussion about what we know, what we think we know, and what remains unexplained.

Did British special forces recover an unexplained craft in northern England? What did RAF aircrews reportedly encounter when ordered to intercept UFOs?

Former British military intelligence officer and Parachute Regiment veteran Franc S. Milburn joins Martin Willis on Podcast UFO to discuss extraordinary accounts shared with him by fellow military veterans. These include an alleged late-1980s recovery operation involving a craft described by his source as “non-human,” and claims from RAF Tornado aircrews that they fired on disc-shaped objects that outmaneuvered their jets.

We’ll explore how Milburn assesses these sources, what corroboration is available, and the questions these accounts raise about secrecy and alleged UFO retrieval programs. These are accounts relayed to Milburn, rather than events he personally witnessed; the UK Ministry of Defence told the Daily Mail it was unaware of salvage operations involving materials of unexplained origin.

Our discussion will also cover the USS Nimitz encounter, Pentagon UAP investigations, and the potential strategic implications of reported advanced aerospace capabilities. Milburn is the author of the Begin-Sadat Center papers The Pentagon’s UAP Task Force and American Development of UAP Technology: A Fait Accompli?

Join us as we examine the claims, the evidence, and what remains unanswered.
