In this special edition of Emergent, I’ll be answering your questions in an Ask Me Anything (AMA) hosted on Forerunner—a new digital forum for those exploring the frontlines of the UFO phenomenon and our evolving contact with non-human intelligence.

I’ll be taking on the big questions that reflect this pivotal moment, as contact becomes harder to ignore and clarity more essential:

—Who are they?

—What do they want?

—Why the secrecy?

—One species—or many?

—How do we separate truth from disinformation?

—What are the psychological and societal effects?

—Are we being prepared, influenced, or re-programmed?

Drawing on decades of encounter reports, the Decoding Alien Intent course, and emerging intelligence, I’ll offer insights—not final answers, but ways to think more clearly and strategically about what this means for humanity—and for you.

Whether you're new to this or have tracked it for years, I invite you to go deeper. If you're ready to move beyond UFO folklore into the ethical and strategic dimensions of contact, this conversation is for you.

Welcome to Emergent. Welcome to Forerunner. I look forward to your questions and the dialogue ahead.

What happens after the hearings, the leaks, and the headlines? In The Future of UFO Disclosure, we move beyond breaking news to explore the deeper roadmap taking shape in humanity’s evolving relationship with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAPs).

From closed-door briefings and whistleblower statements to shifting policies and cultural tipping points, the episode asks: Are we ready for what will be disclosed?

As former intelligence and defense officials continue to speak out, they’re reshaping public understanding of what disclosure could realistically mean. Meanwhile, within the UAP community itself, debates over credibility, strategy, and narrative control are intensifying.

Yet what does it mean to pursue disclosure when both human and possibly non-human actors may hold conflicting agendas?

What if the intentions of non-human intelligence are not acting in our best interest?

What approaches are needed to bring coherence, context, and intelligent direction to this accelerating pace toward public revelation that we are not alone in the universe, or even within our own world?

We trace this complex moment across four interwoven layers: citizen-driven advocacy, government and military testimony, alleged non-human intelligence (NHI) engagement, and the wider exopolitical stakes now entering mainstream awareness.

Reed sits down with Dr. Andriy Fedorenko and Dr. Richard Cloete to explore a sometimes overlooked yet critical aspect of the UFO phenomenon—The Hidden Frontier of UFOs: Tracking Transmedium Craft Beneath Earth’s Oceans.

Watch as they dive into the hidden frontier of transmedium craft: objects that move seamlessly between air, water, and space, eluding traditional detection methods and discuss the cutting-edge efforts underway to track these submerged anomalies, the role of AI and advanced sensor systems in monitoring our oceans, and what transmedium activity might reveal about the deeper reality of the UFO presence on Earth.

Could the oceans hold vital clues to understanding the greater mystery of contact?

Join us for a fascinating conversation at the intersection of science, technology, and the unknown.
