Geoff Cruickshank is an Australian UAP-history researcher, once Reddit's harry_is_white_hot, known for archival readings of MJ-12, Bluegill Triple Prime and the 2026 PURSUE files.
Geoff Cruickshank is an Australian UAP-history researcher based in Darwin who publishes analyses of declassified and leaked records on Substack and appears regularly on Ross Coulthart's NewsNation program. Long known on Reddit's UFO forums by the username harry_is_white_hot, he went public in August 2024, and in 2026 he became one of the most active independent readers of the Department of War's PURSUE record releases.
Cruickshank describes himself as an energy and security professional with an information-technology degree and membership in the IEEE, and says he worked as a contractor for Boeing Defence Australia supporting the Australian Defence Force. NewsNation has introduced him as a former Australian intelligence official, but it has not named an agency or role, and his own published biography does not mention one. His username refers to Harry Turner, the Australian defence scientist whose 1971 assessment of American UFO investigations he has studied.
His debut on Coulthart's show concerned President Kennedy and what he calls Operation Palladium, an alleged Cold War program to inject false signals into Soviet air defenses, which he links to CIA scientist David Lamar Christ. In April 2026 he and lawyer Jed Davis discussed the Majestic-12 papers on the same program; the FBI called those documents bogus in 1988, and most researchers regard them as fabrications. He has also written about the 1962 Bluegill Triple Prime high-altitude nuclear test over Johnston Island, arguing that an unidentified object was brought down and examined by a Navy diver, and he released a recorded conversation on the case with former government adviser Harald Malmgren. No official record confirms a shootdown.
The 2026 releases gave him new material. He analyzed foreign-government UFO reporting from Canada, Britain, Sweden, and Australia in the third tranche, argued that an infrared satellite clip shows a V-shaped formation over Chinese installations in the Spratly Islands that may be Chinese assets, highlighted a 1949 Los Alamos conference record, and wrote that Australia's official UFO policy amounted to deferring to Washington.
Cruickshank's significance lies in how closely he reads documents. His threads and articles often set the terms of community debate about new releases, while his biggest claims, about Palladium, Majestic-12, and Bluegill, rest on interpretation of contested or partial records rather than on official confirmation.

My research partners Michael Armentor and Geoff Cruikshank and I, along with others on our little crew as shouted out here 49 minutes in by Geoff, have been putting together the narrative of 1933 Magenta, Italy UFO crash-retrieval and its aftermath, our ‘Lost Century’ as Stephen Greer calls it, ever since David Grusch first came forward. In this process, Geoff and our fellow researcher who published as MJLogic proved the MJ-12 files are real: ?is=JbXnj289wtx21-Fo O...
Part 8 of a series reassessing the documentary record behind the 1933 Magenta narrative. TL;DR: A wartime report describes three-inch silver discs descending near Schweinfurt, with black debris nearby and several aircraft passing through them. The observations were repeated, but the material was never identified. It does not establish controlled craft, connect the discs to wartime photographs, or authenticate the later Majestic account. Part 1 — Before the Saucers: How Captured Technology Was...
Part 7 of a series reassessing the documentary record behind the 1933 Magenta narrative. TL;DR Pacelli’s “pistol” remark describes pressure on the Church in Germany. It does not identify a recovered craft. Concordat negotiations began before the alleged June crash. The genuine secret annex concerns military service. Ciano’s “great impression” appears in diplomatic damage control over Hess’s peace mission. The diary has real textual and editorial problems. They do not identify removed Magenta...
Part 8 of a series reassessing the documentary record behind the 1933 Magenta narrative. TL;DR A contemporary intelligence annex records silver discs estimated at three inches across, slowly descending near Schweinfurt, with black debris nearby. Their source was not determined. Several aircraft and repeated observations are in that record. They should not be erased in a skeptical retelling. Wartime radar countermeasures supply a concrete comparison, but the reported disc shape and thickness d...
Crowdsourcing this one as my stolen laptop still hasn’t been recovered and I can’t sit down with long-form posts again yet. But considering how much the hard science community pays attention to the ideas thrown out on these subs, seems like a good time to revert back to my old days pre-Medium of asking the community for their thoughts on big ideas. A year ago, with the help of my friends Geoff Cruikshank and Jack/Missileman (who took part in last Friday’s Night Shift livestream fundraiser wit...
Four stories underpin a proposed secret war against “the Others”: Starfish Prime, Bluegill Triple Prime, Big Sur, and Malmstrom. Tom DeLonge appears to be the first public source linking a 1962 “Prime” test to a UFO knockdown. Geoff Cruickshank built on that clue; later claims added a Roswell survivor and retaliation without original-record causal links. AI assistance disclosure: I take notes while watching interviews, then revisit transcripts to extract relevant passages. I use AI to help re...
Part 1 of a series reassessing the documentary record behind the 1933 Magenta narrative. TL;DR The Magenta narrative treats senior attention, urgency, secrecy, rivalry, and missing records as anomalous without a control case. This post builds that case: Allied exploitation of captured Axis technology from 1943 to 1950, its scale, and its paper trail. Those features were routine in ordinary captured-technology work. They cannot carry an extraordinary conclusion alone; a claim must show what th...
Four nuclear-UFO stories are now routinely folded into one: Starfish Prime, the July 1962 high-altitude nuclear test that produced an unexpectedly powerful electromagnetic pulse. Bluegill Triple Prime, the October 1962 test whose declassified films show an object falling below the fireball. Big Sur, the 1964 case in which two Air Force officers said a disc disabled a dummy nuclear reentry vehicle in flight. Malmstrom, the 1967 missile shutdowns later associated with UFO reports near the silos...
Important correction. And adds even more credibility. Go follow @rgh_ufos https://t.co/WabxMmBvMh [Quoted] Jesse Michel's has mentioned my foia work regarding the NNSA response to a request regarding Starfish prime & UFOs. I am not anonymous & all my work is 100% legit. my name is out there. its on some requests, Its been in BBC & mail online. Even in Geoff Cruickshanks stuff on BG3P https://t.co/h2hFP8q5kU
