Podcast Guest's '99% Sure' Remark Linked to Pentagon Drone Clip Release

THE INTERNET — A Reddit user posting to r/UFOs has laid out what the author calls a chain of connections between a podcast interview and a series of drone videos recently made public, drawing on material compiled at the website wherearethey.info.

According to the post, Kevin Campbell, a former DISA contractor, monitored live MQ-9 feeds at Hill Air Force Base for roughly eight months in 2023 and 2024. On the Sept. 3 episode of the Safe Aerospace Podcast with Ryan Graves, the post says, he described three sightings over the East China Sea and Yellow Sea, among them a sphere tumbling above water near a fishing boat. He reportedly reported them to the FBI through ASA.

At about 42 minutes, 53 seconds, the post states, Mr. Campbell was asked about a list of requested videos from Rep. Luna and said of one entry that he was "99% sure" it was one of his. The author notes that Luna's public letter has 46 items, only one of which is an MQ-9 video from East Asia: item 22, dated Jan. 5, 2023. That clip, the post says, was released as PR057 in Release 2 on May 22. From details in the episode, the author reckons the interview was recorded between May 8 and 22, shortly before the release.

The post adds a second link. Mr. Campbell reportedly described an object that switched to colour for three frames, looking rust-brown, like a cocoon or peanut. Two months later, the author says, Release 4 included PR100, a Yellow Sea 2023 clip in which the sensor shows colour for about six seconds and a dark object against blue. The author notes PR100 was not on Luna's list.

The author credits the discovery to the site's practice of transcribing and timestamping interviews and tying them to official records, and invites readers to review the work and offer their views. The post offers no independent confirmation of Mr. Campbell's identity or claims, and the match between his account and the released clips rests on the author's own reading.
