Quiet Signal | EP 003
Why Serious Platforms Matter in the UFO/UAP Conversation
This is Episode 3 of The Quiet Signal — an audio essay series from the UAP Files Podcast.

No breaking news.
No shouting.
Just context, cases, and questions.
In this episode, I explore why where ideas are published can matter as much as what is being said — especially when it comes to UFO/UAP discourse. Drawing from a written piece originally published on Substack, this episode examines the limits of meme culture, viral clips, and sensationalism, and makes the case for rigorous, archival platforms that endure beyond the moment.
We look at how serious venues shape the historical record, influence searchability, academic inquiry, and even how future AI systems understand controversial topics. This isn’t about dismissing storytelling — it’s about preserving meaning, context, and credibility over time.
Topics covered include:
• Why memes and virality don’t create a historical record
• The importance of searchable, citable platforms
• How information warfare distorts public understanding
• The difference between attention and documentation
• What legitimacy actually looks like in the UAP space
This is an audio-only video intended for focused listening.

Today Tom Vernon and I sat down with John Seer, a former serviceman from the Royal Navy, for his first on-camera interview in 45 years. In this exclusive conversation, John breaks his silence about a remarkable incident in 1980 while serving aboard a Royal Navy warship. What began as a routine deployment quickly escalated into something extraordinary.

John gives a detailed first-hand account of:
​ A UFO encounter at sea
​ The Royal Navy’s immediate reaction, including the deployment of fighter jets
​ The ship skipper’s response during the incident
​ Precise details about the object’s speed, trajectory, and movement
​ What was seen, what was tracked, and what was never fully explained

This interview focuses on observable facts, and what trained naval personnel witnessed in real time — not speculation.After more than four decades of silence, John Seer finally shares what happened that night, and why the experience stayed with him for life.

This interview will be in 2 parts. With Part 1 being the encounter on board the Royal Navy ship and Part 2 being John's experiences since and of near death experience and contact and downloads.

In this episode of the UAP Files Podcast, The Quiet Signal Series, I explore the psychology behind debunkers and their obsession with disproving the unknown, particularly in relation to UFOs and UAPs.
I delve into the need for control and certainty, the gratification some find in debunking, and how skepticism can become a rigid identity.
The conversation also touches on the fear of the unknown and historical lessons that remind us of the importance of remaining open to discovery.

In this episode of The Quiet Signal, I explores the intricate relationship between UFOs, UAPs, and misinformation campaigns. Diving into the goals of such campaigns, including influencing public opinion, undermining leadership, and promoting discord within communities. The discussion highlights the tactics used to mislead and confuse both the public and intelligence agencies, emphasising the importance of discernment in the face of disinformation.*Chapters*00:00 Introduction to UAPs and Misinformation00:36 The Goals of Misinformation Campaigns02:06 Influencing Public Opinion on UFOs03:24 Undermining Trust in Leadership04:13 Promoting Discord in UFO CommunitiesWant to support the channel?

In this episode of The UAP Files Podcast, I’m joined by Elliott Howey from Christchurch, New Zealand, who submitted a collection of photos and videos that seriously made me stop and stare.Some of what Elliott captured appears to resemble classic flying saucer shapes, while other footage looks more like glowing orbs moving in ways that are difficult to explain.Elliott also shares a wild encounter from his own backyard — describing an orb moving along his garden fence line, looping around a fixed lamp post, then suddenly shooting up into the sky and vanishing.We recorded this conversation at 2am, and it turned into one of the most interesting and enjoyable chats I’ve had in a long time. Elliott comes across as credible, honest, open-minded, and genuinely just trying to understand what he’s been witnessing in the skies above Christchurch.If you’re into UFO sightings, UAP encounters, or orb phenomena, this one is going to be fascinating.Let me know what YOU think these objects are, and don’t forget to like, subscribe, and comment — it really helps the channel grow.
