UAP Detection, Tracking & the Data Problem | Reed Summers & Rich Hoffman

In this episode, Andy is joined by Reed Summers, organiser of the UAP Detection and Tracking Summit, and Rich Hoffman, veteran UAP researcher and Strategic Advisor to the summit.

The conversation focuses on why detection and tracking are now the most critical steps in UAP research, the limitations of leaked military footage, the growing role of citizen science, and why transparent, multi-sensor data is essential if the subject is ever to move beyond speculation.

Reed and Rich discuss how modern technology makes civilian-led UAP detection possible, the importance of international data standards, and how public participation may be key to meaningful progress on the issue.

This episode serves as a practical overview of the goals, thinking, and scientific approach behind the upcoming UAP Detection and Tracking Summit.
