In this episode of The Curious Realm, host Christopher Jordan venture with his family to see all the happenings and interview researchers at the 2026 UFO Festival in Roswell, New Mexico. With “Disclosure” on the lips of American politicians, and the overwhelming reminiscence of psyops passed, are the current happenings actually a cracking of the UFO secrecy facade, or are we just repeating the game played so seventy nine years ago after the fateful announcement of the crash of an unknown flying object in the outskirts of Roswell, New Mexico?
Our first guest is Dennis Balthaser, Roswell resident and former tour guide in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss the deep connection of the Roswell community to the occurrence of the Roswell crash, as well as the multi-decade effort to keep investigations into the crash site going. How did we get from a cooperative Federal Bureau of Land Management, who allowed archaeological excavations of the original crash site, to a rancher who was able to purchase ALL of the property surrounding the famed original crash site…who now fully restricts access?
Next, we welcome Marc D’Antonio, Chief Photo and Video Analyst for MUFON, the Mutual UFO Network. We discuss how an experience of lost time as a young man, led him an interest in astronomy and what may be in the night sky. We also get into the possible ways UFOs may travel through various media, as well as what is to be made of the now infamous 3iAtlas comet.
Our next guest is petroglyph researcher and author of The Humaniverse series, Keith Seland. We talak about his recent research trip to Chaco Canyon, and the locations connection to various Native American cultures in North America. From Petroglyphs to buildings that may mirror constellations of the night sky, what significance did this mysterious location hold for Native American tribes, and messages may it still hold for us today?
In this segment we welcome Maria Tellier, head of MUFON New Mexico in Alamo Gordo. We discuss her presentation she gave at the international UFO museum in Roswell, New Mexico. We also get into what makes a good field investigator as well as the current tranches of UFO files being released by the United States government.
Next, we welcome geologist and Roswell crash site researcher Frank Kimbler. We discuss the many years of searching the famed crash site and various pieces of debris he has collected over the years. What chemical makeup do these fragments have? Can we create these materials on Earth, and what does it take to declare a piece of material as scientifically “Extraterrestrial”?
Up next we sit down with longtime Roswell researcher and author Kevin Randle to talk about his many years of study about the disinformation campaign regarding the Roswell crash and why the US Government still side-steps the questions regarding this now infamous event. Why are there no files regarding Roswell in the US War Department UFO File releases and how can we finally bring the light of truth and closure to the longest running UFO Case in American history?
Our next guest is researcher, author and experiencer Kathleen Marden. We discuss her deep research into the many years of misinformation, disinformation and defamatory actions toward witnesses and experiencers alike by the United States Government. From changing the Project Blue Book Report, sanitizing the Betty and Barney Hill case and more, to the continued discreditation of researchers and witnesses to silence investigation into the topic. Why has the US Government spent the better part of 60 years simultaneously carrying out a campaign to both say they are not involved with UFOs while making concerted efforts in the media and to hide what they do know?!
Next, we are joined by Thom Reed, experiencer and host of The Know. We get into the “reed Family Incident” which was entered into Massachusetts State record officially as an “off world event” and even recognized by the UN. But what happens when a family incident with a UFO becomes a documentary story and the facts become changed? What happens when tv production companies begin to alter stories, add witnesses who were not there, as well as even change the name of the experience itself leading to public misunderstandings and misrepresentation of the true events? These altered facts now become the paradigm of truth know to the viewers who do not know the true history of the event, setting up a dangerous way to carry UFO history into the future!
Our final guest is Donald Raymond Schmitt, lead researcher for Rosell International UFO Museum in Roswell, New Mexico. We discuss the many years of government obfuscation and dilution of facts about the Rosswell crash of 1947. How this event set forth a blueprint by which UFO coverup and black budget projects would continue as a way to hide possible alien technologies that have crashed to Earth. We also discuss the ongoing efforts of declassification and releases of UFO files to the public and how the timing of these files may bely the fact that the US Government is still unwilling to release all they have and will continue their ongoing campaigns of lies, back room deals with military contractors, and hiding the greater truth of UFOs from humanity.
Join the Curious Realm as we travel to the 2026 Roswell UFO Festival to discuss this unique point in history with UFO researchers and experiencers alike.
