Probed ingest of: Founder Of Israeli Space Force Says We Have Agreement With Aliens
American Alchemy host Jesse Michels interviews barrister and UFO researcher Jonathan Caplan KC about Prince Philip’s interest in UFO reports, Haim Eshed’s Galactic Federation claims, MJ-12 documents, alleged recovery operations, nuclear incidents, and consciousness. Caplan recounts his contacts and personal experiences while Michels questions provenance and competing explanations. Historical records clarify the British inquiry, the Hottel memo, and the 1971 nuclear-risk agreement.
PROBED ASSESSMENT
Jonathan Caplan KC presents a case linking royal UFO inquiries, alleged recovery programs, disputed intelligence papers and consciousness. Jesse Michels tests the argument through questions about sources, authenticity and what meaningful disclosure would require.
- 1.Caplan says Prince Philip’s equerry interviewed UFO witnesses at the palace and prepared reports with Philip’s knowledge and consent.
- 2.Michels details Eshed’s claimed crashes, ancient Grand Canyon craft and shared Mars base; Caplan makes the origin of Eshed’s information the central question.
- 3.Caplan argues for the authenticity of much of MJ-12 and proposes a connection between existing CIA access capabilities and anomalous craft recovery.
- 4.Caplan describes an apparent memory from before birth and argues that full disclosure would require answers about visitors, intentions, government knowledge and past conduct.
The interview connects Britain’s historically private interest in UFOs with American retrieval allegations and today’s debate over official acknowledgment. It also shows how documentary arguments and personal experience shape one researcher’s broader interpretation.
The working-party report, Hottel memo and 1971 agreement are inspectable records with narrower contents than the surrounding claims. The British chronology is 1950–51, the FBI treats Hottel’s information as uninvestigated hearsay, and the nuclear agreement does not identify extraterrestrials. Alleged recoveries, assassination motives and nonhuman experiences remain unsupported by independently demonstrable evidence here.
- 1.What briefings or firsthand sources informed Eshed’s statements?
- 2.Can the disputed MJ-12 papers establish a reliable chain of custody?
Claims remain attributed to the source unless independently documented. Reviewed and edited by an editor.
Source Claims
12- Source reportedUnverified
Caplan says Prince Philip’s equerry interviewed important UFO witnesses at the palace with Philip’s knowledge and consent and prepared reports for discussion.
He says the equerry interviewed significant UFO witnesses at the palace, with Philip's knowledge and consent, then prepared reports for discussion.
- Source reportedUnverified
Michels attributes to Haim Eshed’s book and interview claims of roughly thirty UFO crashes, an ancient Grand Canyon craft, and a Mars base involving humans and extraterrestrials.
Michels supplies several specific assertions he attributes to Eshed's book and interview: approximately thirty UFO crashes, an ancient elliptical craft associated with Comanche Point in the Grand Canyon, and a Mars base involving humans and extraterrestrials.
- InterpretationAsserted
Caplan says Eshed’s seniority does not answer how he acquired his information and recommends caution until that chain can be established.
Caplan stresses a crucial unanswered question: how did Eshed acquire this information? Michels initially treats Eshed's seniority as a reason to regard him as a source, while Caplan asks whether the information came from briefings, counterparts, or something else. Caplan recommends caution until that chain can be established.
- InterpretationContested
Caplan argues that most Majestic 12 papers are genuine and cites alleged correspondence between them and meetings involving Truman, Forrestal, Bush and Tizard.
Caplan believes most are genuine while allowing that some may not be. Michels proposes that intelligence personnel could mix truth and falsehood to make genuine information harder to recognize. Caplan counters that revealing an actual recovery would undermine secrecy. He points to alleged correspondence between the papers and meetings involving Harry Truman, James Forrestal, Vannevar Bush, and Sir Henry Tizard.
- InferenceUnverified
Caplan proposes that the CIA’s Office of Global Access and counterproliferation capabilities could have been adapted for anomalous craft retrievals.
Caplan argues that an existing capability for moving personnel and equipment through difficult jurisdictions could have been adapted to retrieve anomalous craft.
