Episode 430: Dorthy Kilgallen Pt. II
This week we follow Dorothy Kilgallen onto the front lines of the JFK assassination story, where she did the work almost no other reporter in America was willing to do. From her first column one week after Dallas to the only private interview Jack Ruby ever gave a journalist, we trace the columns, the leaks, and the people she was talking to before her files disappeared.

Once the most powerful female voice in America, with 20 million daily readers, her legacy has been strangely buried by history.

VISITORS: Jeff Nuccetelli (U.S. Air Force Veteran, Congressional UAP Witness)
In this episode of VISITORS, Kelly sits down with Jeff Nuccetelli, Air Force veteran, federal law enforcement officer, and congressional UAP witness, whose 20-year silence about what happened at Vandenberg finally broke in front of Congress. Jeff walks through the October 2003 Red Square incursion, the night a craft landed on the flight line and an OSI colonel showed up the next morning, and why witnesses stopped calling in lights after one of his best officers was quietly threatened with career destruction. He gets into what it cost him personally to testify, the flood of new witnesses that came forward after the September hearing, and why he's convinced no help is coming from the UAP community or Congress and what he and Dylan Borland and Matthew Brown are doing about it. He also talks about growing up with the Presque Isle landing in his family, traveling to Brazil with James Fox, and why he thinks reality itself is the thing that's actually classified.
