Cristina Gomez: Tucker Carlson and Chad Robichaux on legacy programs and the Bluegill orb

Watch the episode ↗

Cristina Gomez's recap, uploaded 10 November 2026, of former Force Recon Marine Chad Robichaux on The Tucker Carlson Show (6 Nov 2026). Robichaux says the Department of Energy edited an orb out of the 1962 Bluegill Triple Prime nuclear test footage and that 'we actually have the real footage'. He retells, from Cruickshank, a 'tag along' orb that fell and was recovered by a Navy ship that then lost power. Asked whether some UAP programs sit outside presidential authority, Tucker answers 'I know they are. I've talked to Trump about it,' without saying what Trump told him.

On the record

  • Primary traced: The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026, guest Chad Robichaux (feed description read, audio not yet heard). Quotes are checked against the captions of Gomez's clips; timestamps are hers.
  • Tucker is firsthand only to having talked to Trump; what Trump said is not given.
  • Robichaux is firsthand only to his claim of holding the unedited footage; the 'tag along', the Navy recovery and the Kennedy motive come from Cruickshank, and the giants line from Alberino.
  • Checked and correct: the Bluegill Triple Prime date (Operation Fishbowl, 25 Oct 1962 local, Johnston Island) and Kennedy's NSAM 271 of 12 Nov 1963; her caveat that the companion CIA 'UFO files' memo is disputed is fair.

Open questions

  • Who are the 'we' who hold the unedited Bluegill footage, and will they show it?
  • When did Tucker talk to Trump about these programs, and what did Trump say?
  • Do the October 1962 Navy deck logs record any radiation sickness after the recovery?

Leads to follow

  • A transcript of the 6 Nov episode (megaphone enclosure TCN1486769826.mp3), to pin down the Trump line, the footage claim and whether 'Crookshank' is Jeff (Geoff) Cruickshank.
  • USS Safeguard (ARS-25) deck logs for October 1962 at NARA; they would also settle the item in episode/uap-gerb-us-navy.
  • TCN's 'Shadow Figures' series (5 Nov 2026) for Robichaux's Bluegill segment.

Notes

  • Caption and narration fixes: 'Chad Robashaw' is Chad Robichaux; 'Charles Helms' is Richard Helms (DCI); 'director Delos' is Allen Dulles; 'Jeff Kashank' and 'Crookshank' are Jeff (Geoff) Cruickshank; 'Eric Berles' and 'Tim Bashett' are Eric Burlison and Tim Burchett.
  • Gomez calls Cruickshank 'a former Australian intelligence officer'; nothing on file supports that, so it stays unverified. The db knows him as Coulthart's Castle Bravo source.
  • Robichaux's 'about 1,100' Bay of Pigs invaders: Brigade 2506 numbered about 1,400, of whom about 1,100 were captured.
  • Tucker on the Nixon tapes: 'Why is Richard Nixon afraid of his own employee? Because he knows his own employee has more power than he does.' His reading, not a claim about UAP.
  • Bears on Trump's 'I haven't heard that' (document/news-trump-60-minutes-2026-11) and on the SD004 line in person/tim-burchett that Trump was briefed 'in an unofficial manner' by CIA officers.
  • Tucker Carlson and Chad Robichaux have no person records yet.

The claims, checked

Witness testimony (1)

Asked whether some UFO/UAP programs sit outside presidential authority, Tucker Carlson said: 'I know they are. I've talked to Trump about it. And a lot of other people who worked in government in previous administrations about it.' He did not say what Trump told him.Firsthand only to the conversation having taken place; what Trump said is not given. Checked against the captions of Gomez's clip; the full episode audio is not yet heard.firsthandTucker Carlson, The Tucker Carlson Show (6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)Trump on 60 Minutes: F-22 pilots and a round object (8 Nov 2026)Tim Burchett

Alleged / one person's word (7)

Of the Bluegill Triple Prime test footage: 'Originally the Department of Energy actually blocked that out. They altered the video so you couldn't see the orb. We actually have the real footage of the orb being seen.'His own claim to hold unedited footage; who 'we' are is not said, and the footage has not been shown.firsthandChad Robichaux, to Tucker Carlson (The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)
Test personnel had seen the orb so often they called it the 'tag along'. It fell, naval ship records show it was recovered, and when it was brought aboard the ship lost power and some sailors got radiation sickness.He credits 'Crookshank', taken to be Jeff (Geoff) Cruickshank. The pod recovery and power loss repeat episode/uap-gerb-us-navy (USS Safeguard, ship logs); the radiation sickness is new to the db and unsourced.secondhandChad Robichaux, to Tucker Carlson (The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)Jeff (Geoff) Cruickshank, researcher ('Crookshank' in the captions) → Chad Robichaux, The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026 → Cristina Gomez, YouTube, 10 Nov 2026 → told itUS Navy UFO Crash Retrieval & Reverse Engineering Programs
He does not think President Trump has access to these programs: a 'secret segmented part of the government' has worked outside congressional control for a long time. Truman's MJ-12 was briefed to Eisenhower and then kept from every president after, starting with Kennedy.The MJ-12 documents are disputed.speculationChad Robichaux, to Tucker Carlson (The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)The Majestic-12 Documents [With Ryan S. Wood]
Kennedy kept pushing for access to UAP programs and feared some of them could start a war, and the CIA, which Dulles still influenced after leaving, had to stop him: a UAP motive for the assassination.Robichaux presents it as Cruickshank's theory. The paper trail Gomez cites is NSAM 271 of 12 Nov 1963 (in episode/uap-gerb-mj12-ryan-wood); the companion CIA 'UFO files' memo is widely considered a forgery.speculationChad Robichaux, to Tucker Carlson (The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)Jeff (Geoff) Cruickshank, researcher → Chad Robichaux, The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026 → told itThe Majestic-12 Documents [With Ryan S.

After about a year looking into UAP privately, Tucker concluded that 'the United States government is totally intent on convincing people that UFOs are not supernatural'; his gut says it does so because it knows the opposite, though he cannot name a motive.analysisTucker Carlson, The Tucker Carlson Show (6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez
Timothy Alberino told Robichaux that the most guarded subject in government is giants, which Robichaux ties back to UFOs.General claim only; not the retired Kandahar giant case.secondhandChad Robichaux, to Tucker Carlson (The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)Timothy Alberino → Chad Robichaux, The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026 → Cristina Gomez, YouTube, 10 Nov 2026 → told itTimothy Alberino
Robichaux believes Reps. Eric Burlison and Tim Burchett are being turned away from the sites where the programs are held, as presidents have been.Gomez's narration of his view; the clip itself is not played.speculationChad Robichaux, to Tucker Carlson (The Tucker Carlson Show, 6 Nov 2026), as clipped by Cristina Gomez (10 Nov 2026)Eric BurlisonTim Burchett
