In a fascinating episode of The Deep Ponder podcast, Chris Gaffney, a Dublin based private pilot turned UFO researcher, shared insights into his decades long pursuit of uncovering the truth about unidentified aerial phenomena (UAP). Gaffney, who began his journey with the Irish UFO Research Centre in the early 1970s, has since established himself as a respectable figure in the field. His work through NHI Disclosure, founded in 2020, and Project Morrigan, launched in 2022, has cemented his reputation as a serious UAP investigator in Ireland.
Gaffney also serves as the Deputy National Representative for the International Coalition for Extraterrestrial Research (ICER), a role that underscores his commitment to investigation and analysis. Throughout the podcast episode, he discussed Ireland’s most well documented UAP cases, spanning over 30 years, and even delved into historical accounts that predate modern aviation.
A Credible Researcher in a Controversial Field
UFO research has long struggled with credibility, and Ireland is no exception. As heard on The Deep Ponder podcast, Gaffney does a very good job of coming across as a serious researcher which is lacking when it comes to Ireland. Many so-called Irish UFO researchers have, over the past two decades, faced scrutiny over the authenticity of their evidence, raising questions about the legitimacy of their claims.
In contrast, Gaffney’s methodical approach sets him apart. He carefully verifies elements of reported cases before arranging in-person meetings with witnesses, a practice that adds further credibility to his work. As discussed in the podcast, Mr. Gaffney talks about two reported witness experiencing unexplained visuals, his high level approach is commended, instead of jumping feet first, he is verifying some aspects of the reported cases before agreeing an in person meet which throws further credability to the work Mr Gaffney does.
A New Era for UAP Disclosure?
The discussion on The Deep Ponder podcast highlighted that Gaffney has been working on UAP research before 'it was OK to talk about UFOs'. Now that the subject has gained mainstream attention, he remains dedicated to elevating the discussion beyond sensationalism. As the podcast noted, Mr. Gaffney has either started or is half way to pulling the topic of UFOs out of the gutter which so many individuals have brasenly tarnished over many years for a multitude of reason, from these other ‘researchers’ chasing fame and fortune, television and movie deals or just an income through books, but as it seems, not Mr. Gaffney.
As governments worldwide begin to pick and choose what they release of previously classified information on UAPs, researchers like Gaffney are leading the charge in ensuring that the conversation remains rooted in factual evidence and credible witness testimonies. His work, offering a level-headed approach to one of the most mysterious topics in modern science.
