Review of Ancient Aliens S22E14: “Alien Investigators” (Special Edition)

7/31/2026

This week, we watched Ross Coulthart devote NewsNation’s Reality Check time to an interview with a UFO YouTuber who goes by the name UAPGerb, and this ridiculous ouroboros of UFO YouTubers eating each other’s tails resulted in UAPGerb accusing Lue Elizondo of angling to become UFO Czar for Donald Trump, saying that it smacked of “controlled” disclosure from intelligence operatives. Elizondo raced to YouTube to fire back and to call UAPGerb ungrateful for the help Elizondo had given him, and the whole thing turned into a messy social media blow up. By contrast, this “special edition” of Ancient Aliens takes a much more laudatory look back at the show’s profiles of a number of UFO investigators, offering repeat biographical segments.

The six ufologists and UFO organizations whose hagiographies we see include:

MUFON, from “The MUFON Files” (2023).
J. Allen Hynek, from “The Legacy of J. Allen Hynek” (2025).
Jacques Vallée, from “Jacques Vallée: UFO Pioner” (2024).
Linda Moulton Howe, from “The Linda Moulton Howe Files” (2024).
John Mack, from “The Abduction Files” (2025).
Erich von Däniken, from “The Alien Phenomenon” (2019).

Once again, they just can't seem to put a coherent program together. Erik Von Daniken would have been more logically grouped with Zecharia Sitchin and Graham Hancock in a separate episode with a separate title.

MUFON is a dinosaur. Avi Loeb, Travis Taylor and other groups with high technology are taking over this function.

Lue Elizondo is today's equivalent to Doty, a government agent and obfuscator, wittingly or not.

The topic of next week's program will be the whole continent of Africa. That should lend itself well to their broad brush approach. I would imagine, though, that at least half the program will be about the Dogon People of Mali and Sky Stones of Sierra Leone. Easy money.

Having difficulty grasping new insights and perspectives that challenge the mainstream narrative and orthodoxy? Then, ask your therapist if being a Pseudo-Skeptic is right for you?

That might be 9 billion of us who are going to need another nine billion therapists to cope with the fact that only you are right about the nature of the universe, eh?

Reality Check,

It only took one person to realize that fluorocarbons were destroying the ozone layer. Where would we be now without that guy?

G'runt,

The Deep State is like the Ancient Aliens series in one respect. They both endlessly recycle the same old crap and it ain't too pretty.

Thank you for keeping the timely topic of the "German Moses" front and center. This is something you are obviously passionate about, so let's channel our inner Oak Island and dig even deeper.

Considering that Democratic Party leadership and their media enablers have consistently and persistently equated Trump to Hitler, it really deserves a full explanation. What makes this accusation all the more bizarre is that Trump is himself consciously emulating Hitler, even if only to denature the potency of Hitler’s cursed memory through a ritualistic / occult reenactment. But, why would there be any need in America (the vanquisher of Hitler) to further exorcise Hitler’s ghost, that is, unless Trump is being cast in that very same classic repeating role as Hitler, i.e., the transformational role of a Moses / Ra / Shemhazah.

It was of course Hitler that broke his non-aggression pact with Stalin and invaded Russia. However, in the current scenario, Putin is the one that invaded, so the expected/”fated” outcome is potentially crossed. Consequently, Putin is the more likely to take the fall. Hitler had also made the mistake of not securing the oil fields before he attempted to depose Stalin. Mindful of that precedent, Trump has been highly proactive in ensuring American leverage over the oil industry, first domestically, then in South America, and now in the Middle East. Ukraine is also now targeting Russia’s oil facilities.

Trump was decidedly pro-Israel in his first term and provocatively moved the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem. Liberal factions in Israel were increasingly seeking to distance themselves from American influence and from being America’s client (“puppet”) state in the Middle East. Ordinary Israeli’s were tiring of the burden of America’s empire and ready to at last enjoy the fruits of their labors. When Trump was unexpectedly ousted from power, the Biden Administration assumed a dismissive attitude toward Israel. Then came the October 7 event. Liberalism in Israel was instantly canceled and the militant Netanyahu brought back as leader. Israel was being required to win their homeland all over again. They were back in the American fold and back on the attack. Will they remain there?

Trump’s daughter Ivanka married the Jewish businessman Jared Kushner. Although they had some kind of falling out during Trump’s first term, things have been patched up. Jared is again an important ally and envoy of Trump to Israel. Trump has other Jewish friends, supporters and partners, as well. And, now that American Jews have been effectively abandoned by the Democrat Party, it could lead to a major shift in Jewish political influence. if Jews make a mass exodus out of the Democrat Party to become Independents and even Republicans, this will represent a transformative shift in American society and the economy.

The current objective is not to purge America or Israel of its Jewish population as they had been in Germany under Hitler. That aspect of Hitler’s spin on the Moses role is being tempered, if not entirely flipped. Israel and Jewish Americans are for certain being tested, however the present goal is to keep the Jewish sector aligned with the Deep State policy vector. “Covenant” is actually being renewed this time with both Christians and Jews, AND even more surprisingly, also with Arabs. Still, if any group is being set up for a pruning, it is the jihadist Islamists. Luxuriant Arab Gulf States have been absolutely mortified by the missile attacks coming from Iran. They love their comforts and want nothing to do with conflict. They are willingly supporting Trump’s crackdown on Iran and its regional proxies.

The terrorist origins of radical fundamentalist Islamic groups can be traced all the way back to Nazi operatives in the Middle East. Here in America, the spriit of “global intifada” is also being fanned into a flame. Yet, this is looking more and more like a sting operation against domestic extremists. The last time we witnessed anything like this was with Malcolm X and the Black Panther Movement. And, we can certainly expect that this former aspect of American history will be incorporated in handling the current situation.

There doesn’t seem to be any further elements of the Moses or Hitler typecasting that still haven't had at least some token fulfillment by Trump. (Moses only has to get the team to the goal line, not over it.) I’m already starting to forget just how devastating Covid (and the government response to it) had been. Not only did multitudes of people die

Speaking of Malcolm X, he recanted racism and famously stated that whoever are against human rights are the real demons regardless of race... That's worth meditating on...

That part is a lie, WetOneYahoo was already fully ensconced. Why do you choose to lie?

"Israel was being required to win their homeland all over again." That's two lies at least. Why do you choose to lie?

It's totes adorbs that you think the U.S. controls Israel. From time to time mental patients wash up on these shores. Great sport. Stringy with a somewhat chemical finish but tasty nonetheless. Srichacha covers a multitude of sins. Are you a sinner Chuck'n'Poop?

Netanyahu's government was in trouble in 2023. The Oct. 7 event and subsequent threats from Lebanon and Iran have allowed him to retain power. At this point, I wouldn't at all be surprised if the Al-Aqsa Mosque was hit by a "stray" missile and destroyed. It's all manipulation. Why would you dispute this point?

The massacre at that Oct. 7 Music Festival ("Supernova Sukkot Gathering") was highly symbolic of that manipulation. The youth of Israel couldn't be allowed to "play the harlot before Asherah (Isis / Inanna / Sukkot / Succoth)." Israel had to be snapped back "on task."

In the Bible, Nebuchadnezzar II was declared legitimate authority over the Jews and Jerusalem. But, then, in identification with Shemhazah, he was "bound by a (fellow) Watcher" and "put to pasture" for an extended period (Daniel Chapter 4). When he returned from his "exile" (ala Moses), he found his authority disregarded back in "Jerusalem" (and in Thebes of Egypt). The prophet Jeremiah pleaded with the people to obey Nebuchadnezzer. How is that much different than what we have to today?

Nebuchadnezzar II (as the Moses prince of his day) ultimately placed Jerusalem under siege and then took away the survivors into captivity (as an "exodus" event). Despite the atrocities, he is not condemned for it. Yet, we don’t have photographs or film/videos that make the horrors of that event real to us. On the other hand, with Hitler we saw with our own eyes what starving people of ancient Jerusalem and Masada would have looked like. We can rise up and resolve, “Never Again!!.” And yet, “Here we go again!!!”

The people of modern day Israel are right back in the very same situation. If they don’t do what their master wants them to do, then they could face the same outcome. For now, they are going along with the program. Yet, some are leaving Israel, at least those that have dual-citizenship or other options. They’ve had enough of the “MOSES TRAP” and are opting out. Is that a betrayal of their faith and/or heritage, or just wising up?

Because you said something that was a lie, you completely factually lying bitch. No wonder you were eased out of your job. No workplace benefits from a lying bitch.

After ten ghoulish years of using Phil Coppens, you'd think they'd have honored him instead of LMH, what with her not yet being all corpsified.

The segment featuring Linda Moulton Howe ended abruptly and awkwardly. They made it appear as if her career ended in the early 90's when she received that death threat. This episode should have at least mentioned the Roswell crash artifacts that she has in her possession (in a bank safe deposit box). But, that's what you get when you let the grunts at the History Channel put your shows together without any supervision.

Linda is 84 years old now. Her Wiki page states that she made monthly radio appearances until 2019. Also, her Wiki page has a photo of her as a much younger woman. She had those roller coaster eyebrows all along. All things considered she has aged quite gracefully. She was absolutely striking in those congressional hearings all decked out with her green beret. And, she could probably still put together a better documentary than the History Channel.

Philip Coppins was not a UFO hunter, per se. He wrote about the Great Pyramid and a number of esoteric topics, including Grail mysteries. His passing was a major setback for the the AAT team, and one from which they sadly never really recovered. Coppins left behind a bunch of marketeers, who have turned into a bunch of lazy bums.

Mr. Coppens (you will note that I use the correct spelling at great personal sacrifice) is replaceable. Everyone knows that David Wilcock was the straw that stirred the drink.

The hosts could all die and the show wouldn't change. How do you know it hasn't already happened?

Do you even watch any of those shows? You seem to have no interest in the subject matter at all. Do you even read JC's blogs? If you did, you would know that there are typos in most of them. But, you don't say anything about that (lol).
