When an unidentified craft hovers over a commercial nuclear reactor, who takes responsibility? For decades, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) official answer was astonishingly simple: nobody. In this episode of the MUFON Briefing Room, host Richard Beckwith examines recently released, nonpublic internal communications and FOIA disclosures from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. These records reveal a culture of institutional avoidance, underreporting, and official denial—from Massachusetts State Police helicopters scrambled over the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station to internal NRC emails quipping, “we don’t regulate UFOs.”
Discover how internal whistleblowers like senior security specialist Darrell Johnson sounded the alarm inside the NRC’s Office of Nuclear Security and Incident Response. Learn how statutory mandates under the FY2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) caught the agency unprepared to report anomalous craft to the Pentagon’s All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO), and why the agency’s primary internal panic centered on avoiding congressional embarrassment. Independent scientific analysis matters now more than ever. Watch to understand why decades of civilian field reports are finally being validated by the government’s own internal paperwork. 🔔
