“There’s no money in UFOs”
Quote:Fmr. Government UFO Investigator Offered 100k for One Podcast
Sean Kirkpatrick is well known in the UFO community as a skeptic whose controversial 2024 Report on the Historical Record of U.S. Government Involvement with Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) Volume 1 threw cold water on the idea of alien off-world technologies. While serving as the head of AARO, Congress’ UFO investigation office, Kirkpatrick also published an op-ed in The Scientific American stating that many of supposed UFO encounters he investigated were “unauthorized disclosures of legitimate U.S. programs or related R&D that have nothing to do with extraterrestrial issues or technology.”
Now Kirkpatrick may be headed for a payday, as one of the top UFO content producers on Youtube is offering him $100k for a single unedited interview.
On June 22 Jesse Michels announced on his X account: “I would pay Sean Kirkpatrick $50K (on top of travel and accommodations) to come on my show and discuss these Wall Street Journal articles.”
The next day, Michels doubled the amount, saying “My buddy Kyle offered to double this. So we are now at $100K payment for a simple, unedited podcast appearance from Sean Kirkpatrick.”
In a video posted to his own channel, Michels alleged that Kirkpatrick spoon fed bad information to the WSJ for their recent debunking article about UAPs.
As of the time of this writing, Kirkpatrick has not issued a response.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
