He mentioned Black Triangles capable of cloaking themselves and extraterrestrial smart materials that can &#8220;disintegrate&#8221; and &#8220;reconfigure,&#8221; among other extraordinary claims.<\/p>\n<p>Typically, I tend to approach whistleblower testimonies with caution due to the often apparent red flags or potential motives for self-promotion. However, <strong>Banduric is not a whistleblower<\/strong>; he isn\u2019t connected to the UFO community. He presented his claims in a scientific context without even being prompted to do so. As a former DARPA employee, he holds numerous <a href=\"https:\/\/patents.justia.com\/inventor\/richard-banduric\">patents<\/a> related to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.altpropulsion.com\/people\/richard-banduric\/\">propellant-less spacecraft propulsion systems<\/a>. Remarkably, his scientific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=MPzG2frOzZ8\">presentations<\/a> (which have only garnered 1.5k views in four years) include images of the CARET craft, yet no one in the extensive Q&amp;A session followed up on that.<\/p>\n<p>What I find perplexing and frustrating is the apparent lack of attention being paid to Banduric&#8217;s claims, at least to my knowledge. We continue to receive the same familiar round of interviews with individuals like Sheehan, Strieber, and others. I personally lack the platform or resources to bring this to light, so I&#8217;m relying on the usual figures in the community. There could be a significant, unexplored opportunity here. So, Jesse Michels, Coulthart, Dolan, UAPGerb&#8230; anyone\u2014please consider interviewing this guy. Banduric himself noted that there is <strong>information he is allowed to disclose<\/strong>\u2014yet no one seems to be probing further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nLet&#8217;s discuss Richard Banduric for a moment.
