#437 - "From Deep Space" New Iran UFO Incident No One Can Explain | Darcy Weir

Episode of Danny Jones Podcast · October 5, 2026 · 3 h 28 min

Danny Jones and documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir sort credible UFO cases from hoaxes, covering the Tehran incidents, Gary McKinnon, Corey Goode, Nazca mummies and Chris Bledsoe.

Summary

Documentary filmmaker Darcy Weir joined Danny Jones for a wide-ranging conversation about the UFO field, which Weir framed as a mix of genuine anomalous cases and what he called a 'delusional propaganda machine' amplified by outlets such as Gaia TV. Starting from an allegedly leaked document depicting dinosaurs passing through stargates, Weir criticized Michael Salla and others for claiming U.S. wars in Iraq, Venezuela and Iran were fought over stargates, and discussed Steven Greer, the Atacama mummy's human DNA results, and whistleblower Edgar Fouché's claim that black triangle sightings were U.S. technology.

Weir argued that cases such as Gary McKinnon's hacking of U.S. systems, X-15 and space shuttle astronaut sightings, the 1973 Pascagoula abduction and the 1976 Tehran F-4 intercept had stronger evidentiary support than 'secret space program' and 'twenty and back' narratives. He described an ongoing copyright dispute in which Corey Goode registered a 2022 deposition video Weir used in his Dark Alliance films and threatened federal litigation, which Weir characterized as attempted extortion. The pair also discussed a new video of a triangular object over Tehran in September 2026, comments from Representative Tim Burchett, and whether such objects could be U.S. psychological operations.

Later segments covered Project Blue Beam's origins with Serge Monast, Annie Jacobsen's contested Roswell source, research by Ryan Wood, and breakaway-civilization theories. Weir explained why he considers the Nazca mummies a hoax built from altered human remains, citing radiographic evidence of thumb joints and a black market for the bodies, and described his comedic documentary The Dripton Files. On Chris Bledsoe, Jones said he had personally witnessed orbs, while Weir expressed skepticism over failed predictions, a reported failed polygraph and healing claims. Weir concluded that current disclosure appeared to be a controlled narrative.
