Has the U.S. government been conducting a slow-drip UFO disclosure campaign through Hollywood movies and television for more than 70 years? The new podcast Sound, Light & Frequency tackles that mind-blowing question through an ongoing investigation hosted by two Hollywood insiders: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, both successful writer/producers with hundreds of credits. Bryce and Brent publicly share, for the first time, the full account of their surreal encounter with a “Man in Black” who offered them a deal to use their primetime alien-invasion drama series, Dark Skies, to spread UFO truths. Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of iconic films and TV series, connecting what’s been portrayed on screen to what might be happening in real life—and asking whether other creators were offered “the deal,” too.

How do you say goodbye to a story that isn’t finished? After 36 episodes of Sound, Light & Frequency, Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman reach the end of their first season—and neither is ready to leave. They set out to explore Hollywood, UFOs and secrecy through a mystery that had followed them since Dark Skies. What emerged was more than either could have scripted: an active investigation that brought forward new witnesses, challenged old assumptions and turned their audience into collaborators. They thought they were taking listeners on a journey. They didn’t realize how profoundly it would change them, too.

In “Case NOT Closed,” two longtime storytellers take stock of what happens when Hollywood experience meets journalistic persistence. Recovered production records, corroborating witnesses and other filmmakers’ firsthand accounts gave the investigation substance beyond their own recollections. The public release of the Formula and the unfolding John Herrington dispute brought intensely personal stories into public scrutiny. Now Bryce and Brent examine what they’ve established, what remains unresolved and how seemingly separate threads might connect. They also reveal the films that come closest to expressing where each has landed: the unsettling warning of They Live and the transcendent possibilities of 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Remembering the painful day the Dark Skies sets were torn down, Bryce and Brent confront another uncertain ending—but also imagine what could come next: deeper investigations, new territory in music and gaming, and more insiders willing to tell their stories. There’s even a direct invitation to J.C., the mysterious party crasher, to finally explain himself. Above all, this finale is a thank-you to everyone who listened, questioned and helped make the connections. A second season isn’t assured. The friendship, the curiosity and the determination to keep going are. The season ends. The case does not.

What happens when a rock star goes looking for the people who supposedly know the truth about UFOs—and actually finds them? In “Why Do Rockstars See UFOs?,” Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman trace the extraordinary journey of Blink-182’s Tom DeLonge from lifelong UFO obsessive to participant in the modern disclosure story. DeLonge didn’t wait for government insiders to find him; he went looking for them, eventually building relationships with generals, intelligence officials and aerospace figures and assembling the remarkable team behind To The Stars Academy. At the center of that origin story was retired Air Force Major General Neil McCasland, whom DeLonge privately described as a crucial adviser who helped connect him with other insiders. Now there’s a haunting new chapter: McCasland walked out of his New Mexico home in February 2026 and has never been found. There is no evidence linking his disappearance to UFOs—but considering the extraordinary things DeLonge claimed McCasland knew, it is one more mystery surrounding a story that was already difficult to explain. And it raises an uncomfortable question: when the worlds of entertainment and national security come together to tell the UFO story, who exactly is using whom?

From there, the investigation travels backward through rock-and-roll history to perhaps its most famous UFO witness: John Lennon. On August 23, 1974, Lennon and May Pang said they watched a silent, gunmetal craft hover remarkably close to their Manhattan penthouse for as long as fifteen minutes before moving down the East River and disappearing. Lennon drew it, wrote about it, talked publicly about it, and eventually sang about “UFOs over New York.” Yet despite the location, the duration and two credible eyewitnesses, almost nobody else seems to have reported seeing what they saw. That mystery opens the door to David Bowie, Sammy Hagar, Robbie Williams, Billy Corgan, Ace Frehley and an astonishing musical history stretching from “Mr. Spaceman” and “Longer Boats” to “After the Gold Rush,” “Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft” and “Aliens Exist.” Why have so many musicians not only sung about the phenomenon but claimed extraordinary experiences of their own? Is it simply personality, lifestyle and openness to the unusual—or could people who spend their lives immersed in sound, light and frequency actually perceive the world a little differently? High Fidelity, High Strangeness follows the music into a mystery that may be much bigger than rock and roll.

Why Do Rockstars See UFOs?

John Herrington is in denial. The former Reagan administration official and Secretary of Energy has finally spoken publicly about Brent Friedman's extraordinary account of a 1981 conversation in which Herrington allegedly revealed that aliens were real, the government knew it, and he'd seen them himself. In an explosive interview with Jesse Michels on American Alchemy, Herrington denies the conversation ever happened and questions Brent's credibility. Now Brent fires back, armed with family photographs, a story he's told consistently for decades, and some pointed questions about Herrington's changing account. Who's telling the truth? And why does it matter more than ever?

In this special breaking episode of Sound, Light & Frequency, Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman also examine David Grusch's startling new revelations on Joe Rogan, Richard Dolan's perspective on the Herrington controversy and the mysterious Formula, and an intriguing discovery involving Steven Spielberg's family and Wright Field. What began as a conversation on a back porch 45 years ago has become part of a much bigger story about UFOs, Hollywood, and government secrecy. Brent and Bryce didn't plan to make this episode. Breaking events gave them no choice.
