Notes
- Full email timeline: Podesta-DeLonge emails 2015-2016.
- What's verified:
- The Podesta emails are real (WikiLeaks, Oct 2016). The meeting with McCasland was scheduled on a calendar. Whether it happened is unknown.
- To The Stars released the 3 Navy videos (FLIR, Gimbal, GoFast) in 2017; the Navy confirmed them as genuine in 2019.
- The Army agreement was a real CRADA to examine materials To The Stars supplied. No public result claims they're exotic.
- Army closeout (2025, via Black Vault FOIA): only one sample was ever submitted, 'Artifact A1' (magnesium-zinc-bismuth). Army and Oak Ridge: 'incompatible... to serve as an EM wave guide'; 'likely a test object, a manufacturing product or byproduct, or a material component of aerospace performance studies.' No UAP mention. (Black Vault) 'Exotic' material
- What's his word only: that McCasland built his advisory team; the 2026 consultant role; To The Stars' claimed role in drafting whistleblower language in defense bills.
- Why he matters to the graph: he's the connector. Without him, the CIA man (Semivan), the Pentagon intelligence official (Mellon), the AATIP figure (Elizondo) and the SRI physicist (Puthoff) aren't linked publicly.
- Books: Sekret Machines: Gods (2017, with Peter Levenda), part of a fiction/nonfiction franchise.
- Open question (soft): an entertainer with advisers from the defense world could be a genuine disclosure effort, a managed information channel, or both. Nothing public decides between them.
