claimTimothy Gallaudet, Luis Elizondo, Michael Shellenberger, and Mike Gold stated they are not familiar with a rumored secretive Department of Defense project involving the manipulation of human genetics with non-human genetic material.

claimTimothy Gallaudet, Luis Elizondo, Michael Shellenberger, and Mike Gold all affirmed that they believe parts of the federal government are knowingly concealing evidence about Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) from the public.

claimTimothy Gallaudet, Luis Elizondo, Michael Shellenberger, and Mike Gold stated they do not know of any recovered materials or technologies of non-human origin connected to advanced bioscience defense programs within the United States government.

claimMike Gold stated that he does not know what Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena are, but emphasized that the United States must find out.

perspectiveMike Gold characterizes NASA as a highly transparent organization, noting that executive leadership conversations frequently leak, which he views as evidence of the agency's openness.

perspectiveMike Gold posits that non-human intelligence might not be biological, potentially taking the form of artificial intelligence or machine learning, and that the ultimate answer will be surprising.

claimMike Gold asserts that NASA would require additional funding to deploy tailored instruments for the purpose of gathering uniform and valuable information on UAP.

perspectiveMike Gold argues that scientific breakthroughs are initially viewed as heretical, which presents a challenge for the study of UAP phenomena and necessitates rigorous data gathering.

perspectiveMike Gold argues that current UAP data collection methods, such as cockpit gun cameras and cell phones, are insufficient for scientific analysis compared to the tailored instruments used by NASA to study phenomena like black holes.

claimMike Gold asserts that the vast majority of Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) are likely drones, experimental aircraft, or weather conditions.

claimMike Gold claims that the over-classification of material and the inability to issue security clearances in a timely, efficient, and useful manner are systemic issues occurring throughout the U.S. government, not limited to UAP matters.

perspectiveMike Gold stated that if the United States were to obtain energy technology from unidentified aircraft, it would save funding for the Artemis program and prevent the United States from being on the wrong end of a technological surprise by other countries.
