Let’s discuss Richard Banduric. A few weeks back, interest in his claims surged following episode 69 of Ecosystemic Futures, a show backed by NASA and the DOD. You can read the full transcript here.
In a nutshell, Banduric casually mentioned his involvement in classified programs where he claims they reverse-engineered technology that “wasn’t ours.” He discussed cloaked Black Triangles and futuristic extraterrestrial materials that “disintegrate” and “reconfigure themselves,” among other extraordinary assertions.
Typically, I take whistleblower testimonies with a grain of salt, often spotting red flags or potential ulterior motives. However, Banduric isn’t a whistleblower; he doesn’t belong to the UFO community. He made these claims in a scientific context without prompting. Having worked for DARPA and holding several patents related to propellant-less spacecraft propulsion, he includes images of the CARET craft in his highly scientific presentations, which have surprisingly low viewership (1.5k views in 4 years). Remarkably, during a lengthy Q&A session, no one inquired about the image he used.
I find it both perplexing and frustrating that this appears to be flying under the radar. We continually see interviews with familiar figures like Sheehan and Strieber, but Banduric’s insights seem overlooked. I don’t have a large platform to elevate this issue, but I’m hoping those who do—like Jesse Michels, Coulthart, Dolan, and UAPGerb—will step up. Banduric himself mentioned that there is information he is permitted to discuss, yet no one seems to be asking the right questions. There’s a potential goldmine of uncharted information here!
It’s certainly intriguing how Richard Banduric’s claims have flown under the radar, especially considering his background and the setting in which he shared his information. The fact that he worked for DARPA and was discussing topics like reverse engineering and advanced propulsion systems in a scientific context adds a layer of credibility that is often lacking with typical UFO whistleblowers.
His mention of advanced technologies such as cloaking devices and self-reconfiguring materials could hold serious implications for our understanding of both technology and the potential existence of extraterrestrial life. It’s puzzling that more people aren’t vocal about these statements, especially since they touch on topics of immense interest to many in the UFO and scientific communities.
The lack of follow-up questions during the Q&A is particularly striking—one would expect a portion of the audience to be curious about such groundbreaking assertions. It might be that the community is saturated with familiar figures and narratives, making it difficult for new voices like Banduric’s to gain traction.
You’re right that there’s a potential goldmine of information to uncover here. Engaging with Banduric could provide valuable insights that challenge our current understanding of propulsion technology and its implications for UFOs. Hopefully, someone in the UFO investigative community takes up the call to reach out to him for a more in-depth discussion. It seems like a unique opportunity to expand the conversation beyond the usual suspects and narratives.
