  • Falcon and the Paper Trail

    Falcon and the Paper Trail
    10 Nov 2026

    A concealed face. A disguised voice. Official-looking documents promising extraordinary secrets.

    In 1988, UFO Cover-Up? Live! introduced viewers to an anonymous source called Falcon. Where did his information come from—and what happens when we follow the paperwork backward?

    Investigative journalist and host Lew Austin Hastings examines Paul Bennewitz’s reports near Kirtland Air Force Base, Richard Doty’s disputed role, William Moore’s account of misleading information, the Project Aquarius message, and the alleged Majestic 12 papers.

    Through archival audio, historical correspondence, and official records, we separate what was reported, what was claimed, and what the evidence supports.

    Who appeared as Falcon on television? Was he the same person Moore described as his private source? And does identifying the messenger authenticate the message?

    We close with the Evidentiary Conclusion: what we can establish, what remains disputed, and which missing records could change the findings.

    EVIDENTIARY. FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE.

  • Rendlesham: The Memo, the Tape, and the Lights

    Rendlesham: The Memo, the Tape, and the Lights
    2 Nov 2026
    In December 1980, American airmen entered an English forest to investigate unusual lights. Their reports—and a senior officer’s recording—became the foundation of one of Britain’s most famous UFO cases.In “Rendlesham: The Memo, the Tape, and the Lights,” Investigative Journalist and Host Lew Austin Hastings examines early witness statements, Charles Halt’s memo and recording, police records, and explanations involving a meteor, a lighthouse and stars.Evidentiary’s independent research includes a review of 297 archived pages, a reconstruction of the night sky and responses to our records requests.EVIDENTIARY CONCLUSIONThe records establish that military personnel reported unusual lights. Ordinary explanations have supporting evidence for parts of the case. The material examined does not establish a landed nonhuman craft, an extraordinary radiation source or verified radar confirmation. Questions remain.SOURCES AND FURTHER READINGThe National Archives — UFO research guide:https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/aug-2011-research-guide.pdfHalt’s January 13, 1981 memo — archive image:https://images.nationalarchives.gov.uk/asset/76305/DEFE 24/1995/1 — file examined by Evidentiary; includes later submitted accounts and MOD correspondence:https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C10651781Released Suffolk Police records — preserved copy:https://www.ufoscans.com/unusuallights/Orford Ness lighthouse — Suffolk Heritage Explorer:https://heritage.suffolk.gov.uk/Monument/MSF22526Orwell Astronomical Society — historical notes, including the December 1980 fireball:https://www.oasi.org.uk/Misc/Astro_news.phpIAN RIDPATH’S RESEARCHThese pages present Ridpath’s research and interpretations, distinguished in the episode from official findings.Tape transcript and recording history:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/halttape.htmlTape analysis:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/halttape-analysis1.htmlhttps://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/halttape-analysis2.htmlEarly witness statements:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham2c.htmlFireball:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham1d.htmlLighthouse:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham2.htmlStars and other lights:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham3.htmlRadiation:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham4.html1984 Air Force correspondence:https://www.ianridpath.com/ufo/rendlesham9.htmlRESEARCH LIMITSLater accounts preserved in government files are not automatically corroborated.
