Dr. Anna Brady-Estevez joins us on The Good Trouble Show to discuss UFOs / UAP and how the government and tech entrepreneurs are dealing with the issue, along with a bombshell revelation of another CIA Director as we continue to learn about the CIA's secret connection to UFOs / UAP and extraterrestrial life. She advocates for transparency, rigorous research, and a stigma-free approach, drawing on her extensive experience in high-level science and tech policy. We explore why credible scientific engagement matters, how new legislation shifts the debate, and what real national preparedness for UAP should look like.
