A Guide to Understanding UFOs: This & That Information Catalogues and X Highlights

🛸 Down the Rabbit Hole – UFO Special Episode | This & That Media
Welcome to This & That Phenomenon – Your Gateway to the UFO Mystery
This & That Phenomenon is a curated digital archive and thought hub dedicated to the most compelling enigma of our time: Unidentified Aerial Phenomena. Designed to be a comprehensive resource for both newcomers and seasoned researchers, the site brings together the best of what’s out there—from government disclosures and declassified reports to obscure documentaries, first-hand witness testimonies, and cutting-edge theories that challenge the boundaries of science and consciousness.
Created and curated by Matthew Tepedino, this site represents years of research, reflection, and multimedia exploration. Drawing on academic rigor and pop culture curiosity, This & That Phenomenon brings together ranked documentary lists, longform essays, Spotify podcast playlists, YouTube video libraries, and a massive spreadsheet database of thousands of case files, articles, and resources—all organized by theme and credibility.
Whether you're looking to dive into the Roswell crash, dissect Bob Lazar’s propulsion claims, explore the connection between ancient civilizations and off-world tech, or understand how modern government bodies are quietly confirming the existence of non-human intelligence, this site connects the dots with clarity and purpose.
What makes This & That Phenomenon unique is its interdisciplinary lens: part journalism, part philosophy, part digital archive. It isn’t here to convince—it’s here to inform. The goal is simple: give readers the tools to make up their own minds through access to premium, verified, and thoughtfully organized content.
This is your launchpad into a broader understanding of the UFO phenomenon—and possibly reality itself. Explore. Question. Discover.

Extended Information Databases: X Highlights & The Spreadsheet System
The past couple years as I've descended deeper into this rabbit hole, I've created extensive information catalogues organizing the best content on the phenomenon. My spreadsheet system categorizes resources by case, theory, or key figure, then further breaks down the best podcasts, documentaries, clips, social media posts, articles, academic papers, and books all in one place. This system has evolved into a comprehensive database that allows users to quickly find credible information on any aspect of the UFO topic. While I initially created this for my own research, sharing it has connected me with other serious investigators and witnesses who have contributed additional valuable resources.
Two of the most profound UFO stories of all time and their subsequent documentaries.
Varginha, Brazil 1996 — Moment Of Contact by James Fox
The Bob Lazar Story — Area 51 & Flying Saucers.
A Guide to Understanding the Varginha UFO incident of 1996: Were live aliens truly recovered??
A Guide to Understanding the Bob Lazar Story: did he really reverse engineer a UFO in Area 51 in the 90s??
Here’s the spreadsheet system (best resources) re the 2023 Congressional UAP hearing, its corresponding Spotify playlist and my article on The Phenomenon by James Fox entitled “The Debate isn’t Whether UFOs Are Real, the Debate is What are They?”
The Congress UAP hearing on July 26, 2023 opened many eyes re #ThePhenomenon as Ryan Graves and David Grusch led the charge. Rogan episodes 1883 and 2065 are must listens for anyone interested in credible sources re the tantalizing UFO phenomena
Above is my article reviewing the best UFO doc of all time, The Phenomenon, as well as the Spreadsheet System on the 2023 Congressional UAP Hearing, including catalogs on some of the whistleblowers that are paving the way for UFO declassification: David Fravor,
@ChrisKMellon, @LueElizondo, @uncertainvector (Ryan Graves) and David Grusch.
Additionally the doc contains my analysis on @joerogan episode 1976 with @jamescfox, 'JRE 1976 – The Varginha UFO Incident, A Vast Trove of Other Cases, The Phenomenon and the Quest for Truth: Insights from James Fox'. The essay's structure is as follows:
1. Intro
2. Initial Skepticism and Renewed Interest
3. Varginha Case Details: Witness Testimonies, Military Involvement and the Sheer Potential of the Case
4. The Broader Implications and Connections: A Wider Context of UFO Sightings
5. Conclusion: A Quest for Truth

Seeking the Origin of UFOs: Aliens, Free Energy or Both?
Through Project Blue Book, Roswell & The TicTac Case, the UAP Congressional Hearings, Bob Lazar & Anti Gravity Propulsion, the Free Energy Suppression Theory, Nikola Tesla and the Connection to the Great Pyramids
This is a deep dive into the research and evidence surrounding the ultra enigmatic UFO phenomenon, examining the possibility of both extraterrestrial technology and suppressed human energy technology as the underlying explanation for these mysteries in our skies (check out my 25 page paper version of this presentation @Th1sAndTh8t on substack). After years of falling down the UFO rabbit hole and consuming hundreds of hours of podcasts and documentaries, I’ve broken down this extensive search for truth into its most essential parts. Here are the most delicious crumbs of the UFO phenomenon in which I will convince you that UFOs are 100% real and they defy our current understanding of physics and technology and ultimately let you hypothesize for yourself whether they’re indicative of alien visitors, suppressed free energy technology or both.
Part I – UFOs are 100% Real, and They Defy Our Current Understanding of Physics & Technology
Part II – Free Energy Suppression
The Greater Conspiracy: What If Aliens Were Just the Beginning?
A Guide to Understanding the Varginha, Brazil UFO Case in January, 1996 and the subsequent documentary Moment of Contact: The Tale of the Most Compelling Encounter of the Third Kind in Human History – by James Fox – 9.5/10
Varginha UFO Crash: Alien Contact, Government Denial and Coverup
The Debate isn’t Whether UFOs Are Real, the Debate is What are They?
Finally, I've just launched thisandthatphenomenon.com, which serves as a hub connecting all these resources. The site features embedded documentaries, podcast episodes, news clips, and organized links to all the research materials we've discussed today. I've designed it to be accessible for newcomers while providing depth for serious researchers. The site will be regularly updated as new information emerges, especially in light of ongoing developments with Congressional hearings and whistleblower testimonies. My goal is to create the most comprehensive and credible UFO resource online, cutting through both the government secrecy and the noise of misidentifications and hoaxes to present the truly compelling evidence.
