Richard Dolan: Is The Phenomenon Dark? | USOs, Alien Behaviour & Humanity's Future
6/18/202655 min
In Part 2 of my extended conversation with Richard Dolan, we move beyond disclosure politics and into some of the deepest questions surrounding the UFO phenomenon.
We discuss whether some aspects of the phenomenon may be darker than many researchers are willing to admit, why Richard believes humanity may be facing challenges of its own making, and what decades of UFO and USO reports suggest about the behaviour of the intelligence behind these encounters.
Drawing on research from his new book, A History of USOs Volume 2, Richard explains how studying patterns across thousands of cases has changed his understanding of the phenomenon and what it may reveal about the long-term presence of these objects around our planet.
We also discuss:
- Whether the phenomenon has our best interests at heart
- The listener question asking if Richard is "holding something back"
- Alien behaviour and adaptation
- Humanity's future and technological dependence
- Why Richard fears human actions more than non-human intelligence
- Historical and modern USO cases
- Underwater UFO encounters
- Behavioural patterns across decades of sightings
- The USS Franklin D. Roosevelt case
- How Richard researched and analysed thousands of reports
- What the data may reveal about the phenomenon's intentions
This is Part 2 of a special extended conversation with Richard Dolan.

[gentle music] So I, I'm gonna read you one listener question 'cause I'm still going through stuff, but this was one I thought was interesting, and it was from Stumpy on YouTube. Stumpy said, "I always feel that Richard Dolan is holding something dark back. He's literally the greatest of all time in this field. But I get the sense at the core of whatever's going on here, it's dark. Not demonic dark, but that we may be dealing with something that is bad, very bad. I don't know if that's a question, but I'm curious what you and him feel about this. It's speculation, but a lot of evidence points to something that doesn't have our best interest in mind."

Mm-hmm. Yeah, I, I think that's actually, uh, kind of spot on. But I think the dark, the thing that I see that is dark is yes, there, there's, there's reason to think that, A, there are multiple intelligences that are observing and interacting with us. There's reason to think that some of those intelligences are not m- uh, malevolently disposed toward us. But there is reason to think if, if you really wanna go down into the, into the rumor mill, but sometimes you wanna do that, there has been, there has been reason to think that maybe one group, at least one group, does not have our, our interests at, at heart. I, I think that's, that's possibly true. But the, the group that I would
