This Week's Episode (May 18, 2025): Gene and cohost Tim Swartz present a return appearance from Grant Cameron, who has, for over three decades, explored what U.S. Presidents know about UFOs. Are they fully informed of the extent of the phenomenon or is it kept a secret from them unless there’s a compelling “need to know?” Grant is the recipient of the Leeds Conference International Researcher of the Year and the UFO Congress Researcher of the Year. He became involved in Ufology as the Vietnam War ended in May 1975 with personal sightings of a UFO type object which locally became known as Charlie Red Star. That story was published by Dundurn Press in a book titled, Tales of Charlie Red Star . Grant is one of the foremost authorities on Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump and their UFO connection. Most of that research is found at the Presidents UFO Website – White House UFO or in two other books “ The Clinton UFO Storybook ” and “ Managing Magic: The Government’s UFO Disclosure Plan.” After experiencing a mental download event on February 26, 2012 Grant turned his research interests away from “nuts and bolts” research to the role of consciousness in the UFO phenomena. This new research has expanded out to the possible involvement of extraterrestrials in modern music, and in the aspects of inspirations and downloads in science discoveries, inventions, Nobel Prizes, music, art, books, near death experiences, meditation, and with individuals known as savants and prodigies. Grant’s most recent book is the fourth volume of The Disclosure Series “Beyond Managing Magic 2: Landing the Plane.”
After The Paracast — Available exclusively to Paracast+ subscribers on May 16: Award-winning UFO researcher Grant Cameron returns to talk with Gene and cohost Tim Swartz about music and the paranormal. He cites the many UFO themed rock & roll songs from such artists as Beatle John Lennon, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Jimi Hendrix, Neal Young and even The Carpenters. David Bowie, Elvis Presley, Keith Richards, Lennon, Sammy Hagar and others even reported UFO encounters. Indeed, Bowie once wrote for a UFO magazine. Also explored: the magic episodes of flash creativity where such musical prodigies as Paul McCartney and Keith Richards based some of their most popular tunes on dreams. Or were inspired to write songs in just a few minutes. Grant is one of the foremost authorities on Hillary Clinton, and Donald Trump and their UFO connection.

Shape-Shifting UFOs
By Tim R. Swartz
There is no doubt that UFOs are strange. The fact that they are usually seen silently zipping around in our skies is weird enough; but throw in the fact that many solid-appearing UFOs are seen to be constantly changing shape and size, it's enough to drive any serious UFO researcher to take up butterfly collecting instead.
On March 22, 2025, a mysterious object was spotted over the Florida city of Green Cove Springs. According to unidentified witnesses, the black colored UFO slowly rotated in the sky, changing from a disk, ball, and finally “turtle-shaped.” As reported by Dave Osborn of the Naples Daily News, the UFO, recorded on a cell phone, seemed to morph from one strange shape to another as it slowly floated to the southeast.
It’s one of the great mysteries of UFOs, how can something that looks so real, yet not behave like a solid object and change shape as rapidly as smoke in the wind? This has led to wild speculations on the true nature of UFOs and allowed skeptics to dismiss the entire phenomenon as simply misinterpreted natural events.
UFOs are seen to come in all kinds of different shapes and sizes, ranging from saucers, ovals, cigars, spheres, rocket and triangles. They can suddenly appear and disappear, only to reappear in a completely different location. They can split in two and rejoin again instantly. This has led to all sorts of heated arguments between UFO researchers who have a preferred shape, choosing to throw out cases that don't meet their criteria. However, if you take into account all of the reports of UFOs seen to morph from one shape into another, then possibly the vast diversity of UFOs is not so difficult to explain after all.
Classic Report of a Morphing UFO
On June 29, 1954, A British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) Stratocruiser Centaurus left New York Idlewild airport bound for London. Just after 9:00 PM the aircraft passed 170 miles southwest of Goose Bay, Labrador, flying northeast at 19,000 ft. The crew suddenly noticed an object to the west of the plane that was roughly five degrees aft of the port wing at a distance of about five miles. As they drew closer, the crew could see a large pear-shaped UFO flying in formation with six other smaller objects.
Backlit against the sunset, these objects appeared dark. The six smaller UFOs were constantly changing their positions. The larger craft then changed from its original pear shape to a telephone handset shape. In the words of Captain Howard: “It then turned into what looked like a flying arrow – an enormous delta-winged plane, turning in to close with us.” The anomalous, shape-shifting object seemed to be solid with definite, clearly-defined edges.
As the jetliner drew closer, the smaller UFOs formed into a regular line and seemed to merge into the larger object. Then the remaining large UFO appeared to suddenly shrink and vanish right before the eyes of the startled crew.
Captain Howard remarked later: "...they were obviously not aircraft as we know them. All appeared black and I will swear they were solid. There was a big central object that appeared to keep changing shape. The six smaller objects dodged about either in front or behind..."
In another case a Baptist Pastor while traveling with his family in the western part of the U.S. on June 8, 2002, observed a silver aluminum object flying above the mountains.
The Pastor says, "When I first noticed the object it was in the shape of a box and about the size of a small private plane. I tried to show it to my family and I was pointing where to look. Taking my eyes off of it for a moment, it changed to a round bottom cup shape without the handle (the round section being at the top). The sighting lasted about 30 seconds. The craft was not in a hurry really but seemed to be just cruising around. I don't know how it disappeared. I lost sight of it trying to point it out to my family after looking away for just a second."
UFO Changes Shape and Vanishes
On June 5, 2005 a man was stopped at a traffic light on Route 422 in Niles, Ohio when he noticed a bright silver, metallic UFO in the clear blue sky in front of his car.
"It was thin, cigar shaped with rounded ends and there was a large spot of sun glare shining from the left (back end). With my arm completely extended, its length would have been about the width across of a quarter."
About six to seven seconds after he first spotted the unusual object, it seemed to change shape with the front end moving slightly inward so that the object took on more of a boomerang shape with one side shorter than the other. The glare from the sun that had been so bright at the left end moved in a quick flash and settled more in the center of the object and there seemed to be a darker spot right in the middle.
At that point the UFO was seen to ripple and get fuzzy at the edges. After the hazy ripple, it completely vanished leaving the eyewitness wondering what he had just seen.
The Nellis Anomaly
One shape-shifting UFO was actually captured on camera in 1994 at an undisclosed location within the Nellis Air Force Base Bombing and Gunnery Range Complex, Nevada. The videotape is said to have been smuggled out by contractor personnel who had operated tracking stations on the range. Even though the UFO was photographed by a top of the line, remote controlled fixed mounted camera, it still has that fuzzy, cotton-ball look about it which seems to be common among UFOs.
The Nellis Test Range UFO footage is an excellent example of what seems to be a real UFO caught on tape. This object, tracked by military radar and cameras, flies boldly around in a bright, clear sky seemingly unconcerned that it is being watched and photographed.
The object flying over the dessert terrain that day appears to be constantly changing shape. At first it appears to be disc-shaped, then it looks somewhat like a small jet with round stubby wings, then it changes into three balls, all the while the object is never clearly defined. It is as if it is surrounded by fog or mist, keeping it just out of focus. What kind of object are we dealing with that is never still, is always changing shape, and seems to be not quite solid?
As the object slowly spins a projection of some kind can also be seen. There is also a shifting "coal black" region. More often than not, the craft has a morphing, indefinite profile that appears to be self-luminous.
Physicists have speculated that during UFO sightings, what is seen may not be the UFO itself, but rather the energy change occurring around the UFO as it moves between dimensions. Apparent "vehicles" that seem to change shape while in the air may not be spacecraft at all, but cross-sections of four-dimensional objects that bisect familiar 3-D reality. For example, a 3-D cross section of a 4-D tube would appear spherical. If the tube was irregular in shape, we would expect it to "change shape" in our three dimensions as it moved, much how a sphere passing through a two-dimensional plane would appear like a rapidly growing disk to any watching flatlanders.
The entire UFO phenomenon is always changing and never clearly defined. When you think that you finally have something definite, the phenomenon changes again and you are back at square one. For decades, this is what has constantly confounded UFO researchers, when it comes to shape changing UFOs, there appears to be no real truths or answers.
