Last time I heard a voice like Annie's, it was costing me $4.99 per minute.

[Kk-mnfq]

This lady fits the bill for Strategic Deception. She's part of the campaign.

[fengshuimma]

Hey it's the lady who spammed "I don't wanna say too much, you can find it in my book" on JRE a few years back.

[joncena]

Omg it’s Annie “ Read my book” Jacobsen

[solar]

At this point, the Area 51 rabbit hole is so deep, it’s impossible to discern truth from fiction.

[bga]

Knew this whole interview was pointless when I saw this woman’s name and top secret projects.

[EchoesfromtheCosmos]

Express lobster delivery is probably the least harm- and wasteful use of taxpayer dollars ever

[naetyo]

I had a computer science professor who claimed to have worked at area 51. We asked if he saw any aliens and he said no, then we asked if he worked with telepathy, and he said maybe. For some reason I became frustrated with the vagueness of his answers lol

[JoeinAlaska]

I was Security Police on a SAC base, and we had two people transfer in from Area 51. Classified orders.
One of them said they saw an alein while doing an ECP post underground.

[brinaldi]

Thank god our tax money was spent on Lobster being deliveerd in record time

[MrImaghost]

Why would 100's of people working there talk to her unless they're trying to spread misinformation? Or, they just wanna hear her talk?

[slanginandbangingtactical]

I was stationed in Alaska and got drunk with The NCOIC of security of Area 51. He said there was several different species of extraterrestrials working with us and that some were actually there pets. But then again just an old drunk dude at a top secret base in Alaska . What do we know

[broccoli]

These two can put me to sleep in an instant

[nathansmith]

Richard Doty - Ok then, so why don't you interview Richard Doty who literally made the Bennowitz story a story. Grill him on working at A51 and see what you get? Go on....

[stevew]

ugh. As I get older, I can't help but acknowledge the number of times that I happily disregarded information because some "trustworthy" source told me it was Misinformation/Disinformation, only to later find out that it was in fact, truth. It feels like a pattern.

[nebbiez]

To you people who are complaining about her asking you to read her books, you do realise the reason that authors go on podcasts like Joe and Lex is so they can plug their books? They're not just there to give an entertaining interview, and they're not gonna give away everything that's in their book because what would we be the point? They get you intrigued in the subject matter to make you want to buy their book. This is basic stuff.

Why Files has a great episode on Paul Bennewitz. It's on YT, but YT won't let me link it in the comments.

I saw the United States Government's triangle shaped Antigravity craft on August 30th 2023. I was on Indiana highway 446 close to the Hoosier national Forest sign heading back from fishing at Lake Monroe. The craft when I saw it was traveling from west to east. At first I thought it was a helicopter searching for someone in the forest and it came into view and I tried to realize what I was looking at in amazement. It was huge about the size of half a football field and the light it was putting off was light lights of the city as I drove under it. The lights on it were in the corners and center were crisp white with a blue hue. It had red and green navigation lights and strobe lights and a spot light close to the center. It was painted gray with the access panels highlighted lighter gray.  The panels were like the ones on the new stealth bomber design. It also had nose cones in the corners. The sides were rolled and not sharp like an air cutting edge. The way it moved in the sky was like it slid over the treetops and it didn't shake a leaf on the trees.  It moved steadily with a slight rotation northward without changing direction. I believe it was built by Northrop Grumman facilities... Most of the sights I have heard of are in direct pathways of their facilities and it resembled it's design aspects as other crafts that they built.

Anyone saying that aliens are not among us has never tried to raise teenagers...
