In this in-depth interview, former F-16 pilot Chris Lehto sits down with Dr. Kevin Knuth, Professor of Physics at the University at Albany (SUNY), to explore his journey into rigorous scientific UAP research. From the 1988 Malmstrom nuclear missile incidents to analyzing extreme accelerations in the 2004 Nimitz "Tic Tac" encounter, we dive into flight characteristics, exotic physics hypotheses, underwater USO cases, the "woo" aspects (neuroscience & perception effects), paradigm shifts, and the new UAlbany Project X (UAPx).

Dr. Knuth discusses his landmark 2019 paper on UAP accelerations, the 2025 global UAP/USO review with 32+ co-authors, and why more scientists need to study this seriously. We also cover non-human capabilities, inertial mass reduction, warp drives, telepathy/autism insights, and the dangerous ignorance around nuclear & aviation risks.

Chris Lehto is a former F-16 pilot with 18 years of experience in the Air Force. He managed multi-million dollar simulator contracts, was an Electronic Attack SME for the Aggressors (OPFOR), and commanded the US Detachment at TLP for NATO Fighter Pilot Training. Chris fought in Iraq for 5 months in 2006. He spent 3 years in Turkey as an exchange pilot and is fluent in Turkish. Chris is also a certified crash safety investigator, having investigated Air Force accidents for four years. Lehto has a Bachelor of Science in Chemistry-Materials Science from the Air Force Academy and a Master's in Aeronautical Science from Embry-Riddle University. He was stationed in various locations worldwide, including South Korea, Italy, Alaska, Turkey, and Spain.

Lehto's YouTube channel, "Lehto Files," focuses on Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAP) research, future tech insights, and sharing knowledge. His approach is scientific, aiming to illuminate these phenomena and provide informative content. He also shares his expertise on aviation safety and accident analysis. Lehto believes in the power of open dialogue and the importance of a censorship-free internet.
