Kent Heckenlively, attorney, science teacher, and New York Times bestselling author, joins The Steve Gruber Show to discuss his explosive new book, Catastrophic Disclosure: Aliens, The Deep State, and The Truth (Post Hill Press, November 18). Featured in a viral Fox News UFO investigation with over 2 million views, Heckenlively brings his legal expertise and scientific insight to one of the biggest coverups in American history, the government’s decades-long deception surrounding UFOs and hidden defense programs.

He dissects new revelations from the September 2025 congressional hearing, including a Hellfire missile that bounced off a UFO near Yemen, whistleblower accounts of retaliation, and Pentagon silence amid mounting evidence. Mapping 1,000+ unexplained underwater objects and tracking billions in unaccounted defense spending, Heckenlively exposes how deep state networks operate without congressional oversight, and why taxpayer dollars and public trust are at stake. He also previews what a second Trump administration could mean for full UFO disclosure and government transparency.
