The late John Lear was a retired airline captain and former CIA pilot, held 18 world speed records, and was the son of the famous inventor of the Learjet. During the late 1980s and early 1990s, Lear came forward with some startling revelations concerning the subject of aerial phenomena and unidentified flying objects.

In the first half of the program, he began with a short history of UFOs and the government’s involvement with the subject, including how it has dealt with crashes and retrieved hardware and how and why these incidents were covered up, including supposed underground battles between the US military and aliens.

Lear also recalled a road trip with researcher Linda Moulton Howe, where they saw at least 34 dead cattle on one ranch. He described meeting claimed Area 51 scientist Bob Lazar for the first time and his descriptions of captured UFOs. Lear expressed the opinion that it would be dangerous to reveal the truth about UFOs and aliens to the public. In the last 2 hours, he took calls from listeners.
