What it Means To Be Human

Is the Pentagon hiding a joint military operation right above our heads?In this episode, we sit down with legendary Canadian UFO researcher Chris Rutkowski to expose the truth about how Canada and the US are secretly tracking anomalous objects together.While the world looks at Roswell and Area 51, the real secrets might be hiding north of the border. We dive deep into classified NORAD files, the joint US-Canada shoot-downs over the Yukon, and why the Canadian government has a complete record of the “black hole” years where the US military went quiet. From the radioactive physical evidence of the Falcon Lake incident to the 23 secret objects tracked by NORAD in just three months, this is the side of UFO disclosure you’ve never been told.Subscribe for more deep dives into the unexplained!#UFO #UAP #Disclosure #NORAD #USMilitary #Canada #FalconLake #ProjectMagnet #Alien #Aviation #MilitaryHistory #ChrisRutkowski #GeopoliticsLinks:Chris’ blog: https://uforum.blogspot.comCanadian UFO Survey: https://canadianuforeport.caGet tickets to the SCU Conference in Toronto, Canada: https://www.explorescu.org---🛸 ✨ Support the Channel:- Patreon (ad-free, exclusive episodes & more): https://patreon.com/tobehumanshowBuyMeACoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/danzetterstromGrab a shirt, mug, hoodie, stickers etc: https://www.redbubble.com/people/toinfinity/shop---✉️ Get in touch: Website - www.tobehumanshow.com Email - [email protected] - https://x.com/ToBeHumanShow Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tobehumanshow/ Threads - https://www.threads.net/@tobehumanshow Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/tobehumanshow.bsky.socialDan’s X: https://x.com/ToBeHumanShowDan’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thezignal Dan’s Threads: https://www.threads.net/@thezignal Dan’s Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thezignal.bsky.social---🎵 Music: Culver Drive Hayden Calnin Title & Outro Theme By Thunderbird---FAIR USE NOTICE This video may contain copyrighted material, the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

In 1985, a night after Christmas in an isolated cabin in upstate New York, author and experiencer Whitley Strieber’s life changed forever. He awoke to find himself in a room full of non-human intelligence, an event that shattered his reality and ignited a lifelong, complex journey into the heart of the phenomenon.In this episode, Dan sits down with Whitley  to discuss his abduction experience, the profound, often harrowing reality of life as an experiencer, and how he has navigated the ‘initiatory’ nature of these encounters for over four decades.Whitley shares the intimate, often surreal details of his interactions with the visitors, the role his late wife Ann played in bridging the gap between life and death, and why he believes the current, state-led disclosure process is inherently flawed.In this conversation, they explore:The phenomenon of ‘electroleptic fits’ and why high-strangeness events frequently disrupt electronics in the presence of experiencers.Why the ‘nuts and bolts’ UFO disclosure narrative often fails to account for the consciousness and afterlife connections that are central to these events.The ‘Master of the Key’: An encounter with a mysterious figure in a Toronto hotel room that offered a chillingly accurate preview of the risks and promises of machine intelligence.Why the rigid, materialistic approach of current disclosure efforts misses the nuanced, often terrifying, yet ultimately transformative nature of the human experience.Whitley’s profound definition of what it actually means to be a human being in a reality that is far more mysterious than we are told.If you have ever felt that the official story of UAPs is only scratching the surface, and that the real truth lies at the intersection of consciousness, grief, and the unknown, this conversation is essential listening.🛸 ✨ Support the Channel:- Patreon (ad-free, exclusive episodes & more): https://patreon.com/tobehumanshow- BuyMeACoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/danzetterstrom- Grab a shirt, mug, hoodie, stickers etc: https://www.redbubble.com/people/toinfinity/shop---✉️ Get in touch: Website - www.tobehumanshow.com Email - [email protected] - https://x.com/ToBeHumanShow Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tobehumanshow/ Threads - https://www.threads.net/@tobehumanshow Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/tobehumanshow.bsky.socialDan’s X: https://x.com/ToBeHumanShow Dan’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thezignal Dan’s Threads: https://www.threads.net/@thezignal Dan’s Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thezignal.bsky.social---🎵 Music: Culver Drive Hayden Calnin Title & Outro Theme By Thunderbird---FAIR USE NOTICE This video may contain copyrighted material, the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

The ‘Collins Elite’ is one of the most polarizing terms in the UFO community, often used as a blanket explanation for why high-ranking officials want to keep the truth in the dark. But what if the reality is much more tactical than we’ve been led to believe?At the world’s biggest UFO conference (Contact in the Desert), Dan sat down with researcher Jason Samosa, who shares his journey from studying for the ministry to uncovering the geopolitical and religious intersections of the UFO phenomenon.They explore their personal struggles with faith, and how powerful networks of religious and political elites use it, and our foundational institutions, against us to control the UAP narrative and influence the world at large.They dive deep into:• The Genesis of Secrecy: How a 1950s Pentagon program evolved into a sophisticated control system designed to weaponize religious ideology (the ‘UFOs = demons’ hypothesis) and suppress the UFO reality.• The Great Schism: The clash between our desire for scientific truth and the inflexible nature of ancient religious institutions that refuse to grow.• The ‘Family’ Connection: Why some of the most influential figures in government networks intentionally lean into apocalyptic narratives to prevent the public from questioning the status quo.• The Cost of Disclosure: Why a complete shift in our understanding of the universe might be seen as a direct threat to the financial and political systems that rely on our current worldviews.• Seeing Through Power Systems: Jason discusses how his own path, from evangelical study to navigating Washington D.C., has highlighted why the ultimate truth may never come from the government, but from our own ability to see through traditional power systems.It turns out that in the battle for disclosure, the biggest threat to the truth is the weaponization of our own faith.Links:Watch Jason Samosa’s Outstanding YouTube channel here:https://www.youtube.com/@jason_samosaFind Jason Samosa on X:https://x.com/jason_samosa‘Final Events and the Secret Government Group on Demonic UFOs and the Afterlife by Nick Redfern’:https://www.amazon.com/EVENTS-Secret-Government-Demonic-Afterlife/dp/1933665483‘Forbidden Science 6: Scattered Castles, The Journals of Jacques Vallee, 2010-2019’by Jacques Vallee -https://www.amazon.com/Forbidden-Science-Scattered-Journals-2010-2019/dp/1949501361‘Life of Pi’ by Yann Martel:https://www.amazon.com/Life-Pi-Yann-Martel/dp/0156027321---  Support the Channel:Patreon (ad-free, exclusive episodes & more): https://patreon.com/tobehumanshowBuyMeACoffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/danzetterstromGrab a shirt, mug, hoodie, stickers etc: • • https://www.redbubble.com/people/toinfinity/shop--- Get in touch:Website - http://www.tobehumanshow.comEmail - [email protected] - https://x.com/ToBeHumanShowInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/tobehumanshow/Threads - https://www.threads.net/@tobehumanshowBluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/tobehumanshow.bsky.socialDan’s X: https://x.com/ToBeHumanShowDan’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thezignalDan’s Threads: https://www.threads.net/@thezignalDan’s Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/thezignal.bsky.social--- Music:Culver DriveHayden CalninTitle & Outro Theme By Thunderbird---FAIR USE NOTICEThis video may contain copyrighted material, the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

This week on The Signal, Dan, Roz & Dale are joined by Kelly and Sam from Frightday for a wide-ranging live conversation about UFO disclosure, Contact in the Desert, Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, and one very suspicious light in the desert sky.The crew breaks down the latest push from David Grusch, lawmakers, journalists, and researchers calling for the U.S. government to declassify what it knows about UAP, non-human intelligence, biologics, legacy programs, and crash retrievals. Is this a historic pressure campaign, or are we still stuck in the same cycle of speeches, promises, and “trust us, bro” disclosure?They also look ahead to Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day and ask whether the film could become a cultural tipping point for the UFO conversation — or simply a great summer blockbuster with a lot of familiar lore baked in.Then, Dan shares highlights from Contact in the Desert, including conversations with Thomas Jane, Joshua Cutchin, Paul H. Smith, Matthew Brown, Jason Samosa, Sarah Gamm, Jeremy Corbell, and more. The group talks about the strange magic of the conference, the people behind the movement, Jacques Vallée’s final public appearance, and what it feels like when the UFO world stops being an online conversation and becomes a room full of actual humans.And, of course, there’s UFO or UF-No — featuring footage Dan filmed during a desert skywatch with the Skywatcher team. Was it anomalous? Was it consciousness contact? Or was it… Starlink?You already know the universe has jokes.Remember to be curious - the universe is bigger than we know!Episode notes: www.tobehumanshow.com✉️ Get in touch at: [email protected]🛸 ✨ Support the Channel: Become a YouTube member here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5VBsZyxWVCvzDyGBj-EE_A/join Patreon (ad-free, exclusive episodes & more): https://patreon.com/tobehumanshow Grab a shirt, mug, hoodie, stickers etc: https://www.redbubble.com/people/toinfinity/shop👽 Follow the show: Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/tobehumanshow.bsky.social Twitter - https://x.com/ToBeHumanShow Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/tobehumanshow/ Threads - https://www.threads.net/@tobehumanshowMusic: Thunderbird Culver Drive Hayden CalninFAIR USE NOTICEThis video may contain copyrighted material, the use of which has not been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

What if human perception is far more flexible than we realize? This week, Dan sits down with mindsight teacher and consciousness researcher Dalia Burgoin to explore a world where blindfolded people learn to read, identify colors, navigate unfamiliar environments, and even develop new ways of perceiving reality. Dalia shares her unlikely journey from stay-at-home mom to one of the most talked-about voices in the consciousness community. Along the way, she discusses synchronicities, energy work, neuroplasticity, telepathy, the phenomenon known as “The Hill” from The Telepathy Tapes, and why she believes human beings possess abilities that modern culture has largely forgotten. The conversation explores the […]

With Disclosure Day coming to theaters, Steven Spielberg is finally delivering the culmination of a lifelong obsession. From a $500 home movie shot in an Arizona backyard to the biggest blockbusters in cinema history, Spielberg hasn’t just been making sci-fi, he’s been building a massive, interconnected puzzle. What if his alien movies were never actually about what’s “out there”? In this video, we trace the entire evolution of Spielberg’s extraterrestrials to show you exactly how his past work sets up the massive stakes of his upcoming film. We dive deep into: • The Chosen: How Close Encounters of the Third Kind utilized real-world UAP researchers like […]

In this special combined episode of What It Means to Be Human, Dan sits down with screenwriter, author, and paranormal researcher Richard Hatem for a wide-ranging conversation that explores some of the deepest questions at the heart of the phenomenon. Best known as the screenwriter behind The Mothman Prophecies and host of Richard Hatem’s Paranormal Bookshelf, Richard shares his personal journey into the world of the unexplained and reflects on the ideas that have shaped his thinking over decades of research. Together, Dan and Richard explore the enduring influence of John Keel, the mysteries surrounding Mothman, UFOs, and Bigfoot, and the possibility that paranormal experiences may point […]

Is the UFO phenomenon a hardware problem or a consciousness problem? For 20 years, Nick Cook was the aviation editor for Jane’s Defence Weekly, breaking stories on secret weapons and black budget projects. But his investigation into the “Hunt for Zero Point” led him somewhere he never expected: a realization that our understanding of reality is incomplete. In this episode, Nick reveals the startling theory he developed over a poetic journey where professional investigation and personal outliers collided to reveal a hidden layer of reality. We move past the 20th-century mindset to explore:• Why black world technology and human consciousness are converging• […]

The first tranche of government UFO files has finally arrived, and the wall of silence may finally be cracking. In this episode, Dan digs through the files, AARO’s unresolved sightings, and Apollo-era transcripts to ask whether this is real disclosure or just a more polished version of the same old maze.

Ron James spent years pointing a camera at people whose job is to say nothing: politicians, scientists, military insiders. He waited patiently — and they slipped up. His first film, Accidental Truth: UFO Revelations, won 28 film festival awards, was cited by name at a congressional UAP hearing, and became one of the most-watched UFO

The Vice President of the United States just called UAPs demons on camera. And a sitting congresswoman is citing the Book of Enoch as evidence of non-human intelligence. Meanwhile, the FBI is investigating a cluster of disappeared and dead scientists connected to sensitive aerospace research — and nobody can agree on whether that's a cover-up

Captain Ron Janix found Contact in the Desert the way most people find the things that change their lives, by accident. In this episode, Dan speaks with Captain Ron about what it actually means to build a space for people who’ve seen something they can’t explain, believe something they can’t prove, and need to be with others who feel the same way. Ron shares how he went from celebrity personal assistant to conference co-owner, what it takes to hold the full spectrum of the UAP community under one roof, and whether the act of gathering itself could be doing something […]

For fifty years, constitutional lawyer Danny Sheehan has been in the rooms where American power operates. Pentagon Papers, Watergate, Iran-Contra, Karen Silkwood. Now he says all of it was preparation for the biggest case of his career: UFO Disclosure. In this episode, Dan speaks with Danny about the legal architecture of the UAP cover-up.

In 2025, former Air Force military police officer Jeff Nuccatelli sat before Congress under oath and said something most governments never want to admit: reality may be classified. In this episode of What It Means to Be Human, Dan speaks with Jeff about the UAP incursions he witnessed while stationed at Vandenberg Air Force Base,

In this episode of What It Means to Be Human, Dan sits down with Joshua Cutchin — folklorist, paranormal researcher, composer, and one of the most original thinkers working in the strange today. Joshua has spent years tracing the hidden threads between UFOs, fairy lore, near-death experiences, altered states, ghost stories, and the deep symbolic structures that shape human experience. His work asks an unsettling but increasingly unavoidable question: what if these phenomena are not separate at all, but different expressions of the same underlying mystery? Together, Dan and Joshua explore the strange feedback loop between fiction and reality, and why stories may do more than […]

In this episode of What It Means to Be Human, Dan sits down with Thomas Jane, actor, writer, and researcher… to explore a topic that sits at the edge of science, philosophy, and human identity: non-human intelligence and the limits of reality itself. This isn’t a conversation about lights in the sky. It’s about something far deeper. Thomas shares how a personal experience in 2011 shattered his worldview and sent him down a path of studying UFO phenomena, consciousness, and the nature of perception.  Together, they explore: • Why our brains may be interfaces, not truth-tellers • The idea that consciousness could be fundamental, […]

This week, Dan takes a deep dive into Chains of the Sea — a little-known sci-fi novella from the 1970s that has quietly shaken the UFO world after being recommended by former Pentagon insider Lue Elizondo. On the surface, it’s a story about alien contact. But underneath, it presents something far more unsettling: Through the lens of this story, we explore a radically different framework for the phenomenon — one that moves beyond “nuts and bolts” craft and into something stranger, more abstract, and potentially far more disturbing. Could UFOs be polymorphic, shapeshifting intelligences? Could reality itself be layered in ways we don’t perceive? […]

This week, Dan and Roz dig into the strange new phase of UFO disclosure, starting with Trump’s claim that Barack Obama revealed classified information about aliens. From there, they trace the bigger picture: Obama’s long history of carefully provocative UFO comments, the buried records sitting in the Obama presidential library, and why Trump’s promise to “release the files” may be less straightforward than it sounds. Along the way, they unpack the difference between release and declassify, ask whether this is genuine transparency or dirty disclosure, and explore what Congress, Gillibrand, and the wider UFO community are actually doing with the moment. Also in this episode: This […]

What can comic books teach us about UFO encounters? In this episode, Dan speaks with Eisner and Harvey Award–winning comic creator Michael Avon Oeming, known for his work on Powers, Thor, and Hellboy. Michael joins the show to discuss his acclaimed series Blue Book and Red Book, which bring real UFO cases to life through powerful visual storytelling. Together they explore some of the most fascinating mysteries in UFO history. From the Betty and Barney Hill abduction to the strange events of Dyatlov Pass, sightings in China and Russia, and the challenge of separating fact from myth in the world […]

What if death isn’t the end? And what if love finds a way to reach us anyway? In this deeply personal episode of Contact, producer and co-host Roslyn Mugford shares her own story. After the passing of her stepdad Jack in January 2024, Roz experienced something she still struggles to fully explain — a vivid dream filled with overwhelming love and what felt like an unspoken apology. Hours later, she learned he had died during the night. What followed were moments that felt less like coincidence and more like connection: signs, synchronicities, and eventually, birds landing gently in her hand […]

What happens to the human story if we get conclusive proof we’re not alone? This week, we’re joined by comedian, actor, writer, and podcaster Michael Ian Black (Wet Hot American Summer, Have I Got News For Your Ears) for a wide-ranging, deeply human conversation about UFOs/UAP, consciousness, and the strange edges of reality. Michael shares a high school “orb/fireball” sighting that still haunts him.. made even stranger by the fact that the other witnesses don’t remember it. From there, we go big: why the “nuts and bolts” don’t interest him as much as what the phenomenon means for humanity, how testimony (especially near-death experiences) shifted his worldview, and why the most […]

Season Two starts exactly how we like it: coming out swinging. Dan and Roz are back to break down the latest in UAP culture and credibility, starting with a military FLIR clip of “orbs” that might be something extraordinary… or might be birds (yes, we’re devastated too). Then we dive into the Nazca mummies saga, where the internet’s favorite “alien bodies” run headfirst into niche expertise: skeletal radiologists and bioanthropologists pointing out bone grafts, amputations, mismatched growth plates, and why “unknown DNA” doesn’t necessarily mean “alien”. From there, we take a sharp left into Pluribus (Vince Gilligan’s unsettling hive-mind thought experiment): a virus delivered through a decoded signal, a […]

In this episode, we’re doing something for the very first time: recording live. No script, no safety net—just an open, free-flowing conversation. We look back on the year behind us, wrestle with the big questions still hanging in the air, and explore where the ongoing conversation around UAPs, disclosure, and human curiosity might be headed. What unfolds is part celebration, part reflection, and part deep dive. The night is full of unexpected moments, a few technical hiccups, insightful questions from a live audience, and a series of familiar voices who drop in to share their stories, perspectives, and hard-earned wisdom. Joining […]

Happy Holidays everyone!  Whether you’re snuggling up by the fireplace with your pets, your people or just something warm in a mug… we’ve got the coziest kind of episode for you: a Christmas Eve “best of”, featuring Dan’s favourite moments from Season One. Today’s highlights include: ⏳ Richard Hatem (screenwriter, The Mothman Prophecies) on “time stuff,” precognition, and why questions about time can feel more unsettling than monsters. ️ Maya Cowan (cultural anthropologist) on Indigenous perspectives, UAP in history, and why space exploration can mirror settler colonialism—plus the ethical responsibility that comes with “the final frontier.” Dr. Michelle […]

Join us as we delve into the enigmatic world of UFOs with the legendary Stanton Friedman, in a never-before-seen interview recorded by Roz in 2016, before Friedman’s passing. In the ever-evolving discourse on UFOs and extraterrestrial life, few voices resonate as powerfully as that of Stanton Friedman, a nuclear physicist turned ufologist. With over fifty years of experience and a wealth of knowledge, Friedman challenges the narratives surrounding UFO sightings and government secrecy, shedding light on a subject often dismissed as mere fantasy. He unravels the mysteries of extraterrestrial visits, government secrecy, and the cosmic implications of our place in […]

In August 1955, a quiet farmhouse in Kelly, Kentucky became the center of one of the strangest UFO encounters in history: the Kelly–Hopkinsville Goblins case. Eleven witnesses claimed their home was surrounded all night by small, glowing, goblin-like beings that floated above the ground and seemed immune to shotgun blasts. In this episode, Dan Zetterström talks with Geraldine Sutton-Stith, daughter of lead witness Elmer “Lucky” Sutton, about what really happened that night. Geraldine walks us through the full Kelly–Hopkinsville encounter: the UFO seen dropping into a nearby gully, the “little men” at the windows, the gunfire, the glowing substance found on […]

This week on Contact, we follow the astonishing life of David Pearce, a man whose experiences with the unknown began in childhood and have shadowed him for decades. What starts as a simple night of stargazing in South Wales becomes the first chapter in a lifelong pattern of encounters—structured craft rotating silently in the sky, UFOs chased by RAF jets, and a recurring dream so vivid and terrifying it feels more like a memory than a nightmare. As David grows up, the phenomena grow with him. Strange lights glide through the valley. A house alive with inexplicable activity turns threatening. And then, […]

UK UFO investigator Vinnie Adams of Disclosure Team takes us deep into the Colombian highlands—where a centuries-old mystery still burns across the night sky. In this Contact episode, Vinnie recounts his journey to La Peña de Juaica, a mountain long associated with ancestral spirits, portals, and strange plasma-like lights witnessed for generations.

We dive into the complexities of the ‘whup’ call, human impact on the environment, whale culture, and the role of curiosity in scientific discovery.
