In November 2007, an extraordinary and often overlooked UFO press conference took place at the National Press Club in Washington DC. Hosted by filmmaker James Fox and moderated by former Arizona Governor Fife Symington, this historic event brought together high-ranking military officers, pilots, scientists, and government officials from around the world to give sworn testimony about their UFO encounters and investigations. Speakers from Belgium, France, Iran, the United Kingdom, Chile, Peru, and the United States went on record describing radar encounters, aerial interceptions, landings, physical traces, and official investigations that could not be explained by conventional aircraft or known technology. This episode presents the full archival footage of that 2007 event, shared with permission, and highlights why it remains one of the most important moments in modern UFO history — laying groundwork long before the events of 2017 and today’s UAP discussion. 🎙️ That UFO Podcast 📘 Buy my book: Atlas of Unidentified Flying Objects https://geni.us/AtlasOfUFOs Check out the 20th January event here - https://www.youtube.com/@NationalPressClubLive/streams This episode is shared with permission and is free to use across platforms. 🎙️ That UFO Podcast 📘 Buy my book: Atlas of UFOs https://geni.us/AtlasOfUFOs Timestamps 00:00 – Andy intro: why this episode matters now 01:10 – Upcoming UAP press conference & historical context 02:45 – Why the 2007 event is often forgotten 03:20 – James Fox opens the National Press Club event 04:10 – Fife Symington introduction and format of testimony Witness Testimony Begins 06:30 – Belgian Air Force General on the Belgian UFO Wave 10:15 – French government UFO investigations and GEPAN 16:30 – Air France pilot describes mid-air UFO encounter 20:45 – French COMETA report and national security concerns 24:40 – Iranian Air Force General on the 1976 Tehran UFO incident 29:45 – Chilean military pilot on official UAP reporting systems 36:30 – Peruvian Air Force pilot ordered to shoot down a UFO 44:20 – Peruvian Air Force investigation office testimony 49:30 – UK commercial pilot on Channel Islands UFO sighting 53:40 – Nick Pope (UK MOD) on classified UFO cases 57:30 – Rendlesham Forest eyewitness testimony (USAF personnel) FAA, CIA & Cover-Up Discussion 01:06:40 – FAA official John Callahan on radar data and CIA seizure 01:12:30 – CIA briefing and confiscation of evidence 01:18:00 – Fife Symington recounts the Phoenix Lights 01:22:20 – Why Project Blue Book was shut down 01:28:50 – Why governments fear public reaction Press Q&A 01:31:20 – Media questions on secrecy and national security 01:34:30 – International cooperation on UFO investigations 01:36:00 – Andy outro & where to support the show 🔥 Support the show & get bonus content: 🛸 YouTube Memberships: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHw9Lru3EcpRQyM7AI5TlmA/join 🛸 Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/ThatUFOPodcast 🛸 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/that-ufo-podcast/id1511121397 🛸 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7wnXUAQ3vwdsX1BoyaEvjZ 🛸 Buy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/ThatUFOPodcast 📲 Connect with the show: Twitter: @UFOUAPAM Facebook, Instagram & YouTube: That UFO Podcast YouTube: YouTube.com/c/ThatUFOPodcast Email: UFOUAPAM@gmail.com All links: https://linktr.ee/ufouapam Official Website: ThatUFOPodcast.com 👍 Don’t forget to subscribe, like & leave a review — it really helps!
