Matt Ford hosted a live show with Vinnie Adams and JP Hague live-covering the Sept 9 House Oversight hearing. At the end of the show, Ford shows and discusses a video he was given by Anna Brady-Estevez, which was recorded the night before, on Sept 8. Presumably after the well publicized event where many people who were going to the hearing the next day met up. Brady-Estevez is a former program director at the NSF, and seems deeply involved in crafting and pushing UFO narratives inside the federal government, is now on the board of the lobbying org UAP Disclosure Fund, and promotes the claims of a long list of individuals through this NSF-affiliated(?) podcast. Brady-Estevez along with Chris Bledsoe and Sarah Gamm (analyst for UAP Task Force) and a few other unnamed individuals went on a walk near the Capitol and participated in, as Ford describes from the account from Brady-Estevez, a group prayer session which led to anomalous orbs over the Capitol building. This sounds akin to one of Bledsoe's religious events where he brings people out to hold group prayer to summon "orbs" which are what he believes to be messengers from God. This time though, we get confirmation that Brady-Estevez and Gamm, two former government employees directly involved in generating and promoting UFO stories inside the federal government, were there and believed what was going on, to the degree that they thought it was important to immediately circulate the videos and story to Matt Ford and Ross Coulthart.
I'll quote Coulthart's post for its context:

Ford's live stream video is here. Here is the link to the ~13.5 minute section from that video which is the part about these videos. I have also attached the 3 video clips from Coulthart's post as vid1/2/3, below. In the video, Ford also cites the impressive credentials of the people in this group sighting (e.g. scientists, PhDs, DoD and NSF employment) as evidence that this definitely is something anomalous and doing "maneuvers that are definitely NHI".
Here is the photo Ford included, which was taken on the staircase landing above the Neptune Fountain in front of the Library of Congress (38°53'20"N 77°00'16"W). It's possible that everyone in the group is pictured in other photos available from the night-before meetup and could be identified based on clothing, but I have not tried. The 3 video clips appear to be taken from street level, not on the staircase landing. You can hear the fountain noise in the background of the videos, and the statue visible in the clips poking over the trees is the one on top of the Capitol building dome.
Both Coulthart and Ford compare this to the alleged 1952 sighting of unidentified things in DC. When I look at the video, I see a small light colored thing flying not particularly fast, in swooping loops over the trees and yards around the Capitol building. It looks a lot like a bird. But several people there sound very excited to be seeing it, I think largely because Chris Bledsoe is convincing them that it is amazing. At 0:23 in vid2, a voice in the background starts talking about seeing drones over the White House and Bledsoe is pretty insistent that it isn't a drone, which I happen to think is probably correct, and that there is a good chance those other things could have been planes over the Potomac after takeoff off from Reagan airport runway 1, 2+ miles away.
My takeaway from this is that two individuals we know have been deeply involved in federal programs about UAP and who promote the Bigelow/Stratton/Puthoff/Davis/Elizondo/etc flavor of opinions about alien visitation to Earth and covered up alien technology, are aligned with Chris Bledsoe's religious narratives and easily persuaded to interpret this as an anomalous UFO. The videos don't show anything I find interesting, or think any reasonable person should find interesting, but since these particular individuals with particular job titles and credentials say it is interesting, we are supposed to just take that as a given. And as Matt Ford said, we're also supposed to take it as proof for an advanced non-human intelligence.
I'll quote Coulthart's post for its context:
External Quote:Eerie echoes here of the 1952 Washington DC UAP flyover event. Whatever they were, they didn't quite land on the White House lawn....but they came close! New details on the extraordinary orbs sighted over or near the White House the evening prior to the UAP hearing (8Sep 2025) by a large group, including Chris Bledsoe @chrisbledsoeufo, intelligence expert image analyst Sarah Gamm, Anna Brady Estevez - founding Partner of American DeepTech and advisory board member for the UAPDF, former deputy chief scientist for the ISS Donna Roberts (chf scientist with Deep Tech). [All parties named with their ok] Videos follow. Originally reported by our friends @GoodTroubleShow
