Kiviat vs Pandolfi

Robert Kiviat is a longtime veteran TV producer whose career spans several different top American TV networks such as NBC and FOX. This writer has known Kiviat since the 1990s, in fact my first TV appearance on FOX was on a segment he produced for the series [e]ncounters where I debated Jim Dilettoso of the Billy Meier UFO cult and exposed it. Ironically, it was Bill Moore who passed on Kiviat’s message to me that he wanted to talk. A few years later, I worked with Kiviat again on his highly acclaimed one hour FOX TV special, World’s Greatest Hoaxes: Secrets Finally Revealed, where the top so-called “paranormal” mysteries were exposed: Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, the “Alien Autopsy” film hoax, and the Meier UFO cult. Never before on a major TV network had these top overhyped “mysteries” ever been exposed before.

“When the NYT published in December 2017 that videos from the government showed potential unidentified aircraft outrunning our military’s fastest jets, I immediately wondered if this could be some sort of government ops or disinformation,” explained Kiviat in an exclusive interview.

“I had become aware of something called a ‘limited hangout,’ where the CIA specifically, would put some information out about UFOs that could be true, and other information that was patently false. Just such information was coming from Ronald Pandolfi, and because of his affiliation with the ‘Weird Desk’ at the CIA, I wondered if he could be involved in this release of videos and other alleged ‘alien’ evidence.

“But mostly, because I had been investigating the latest anti-gravity research developments, I was amazed that Pandolfi definitely was supporting the activities of controversial UFO researcher and “Contactee” Joe Firmage. Firmage when approached, eventually offered me a position that would not only afford me the opportunity to document the supposed anti-gravity breakthrough Pandolfi was supporting. But also I’d be in a great position to determine its veracity.”

Soon after Kiviat signed the employment contract with Firmage, Firmage expected Kiviat not only to plan a six month public roll-out of the device which Firmage was supposedly inventing, leading to a live demonstration; but Kiviat was also expected to develop and sell the network television series that would tell the Joe Firmage anti-gravity story, and also the story of the Aviary UFO history as seen through the eyes of Pandolfi. But it gets even better! Pandolfi, through his closest operative, also wanted Kiviat to tell the incredibly bizarre story of how his Pakistani wife allegedly from Kashmir, purportedly arrived on Earth via a “inter-dimensional portal,” and other tall tales which would be hard for even Hollywood to make up.

“Presentations made by me to executives at a major TV network, involving both the entertainment and news divisions, did lead to some interest,” Kiviat revealed. “But the outrageous nature of the claims being made eventually were too much to build around, especially since Pandolfi was not willing to state his claims publicly.”

Kiviat not only found evidence of Pandolfi exaggerating what would be the alleged “government’s interests” in Firmage’s anti-gravity company called InterNASA, he’s got formal court documents now set to be filed against Firmage, Pandolfi and ostensibly the company’s most visible financier, former Congressman Daniel Marriott. Marriott had been feigning that he would put in over “seven figures” [to use his words] to not only cover salaries like Kiviat’s, which were now in arrears, but also threatened to never do so if Firmage were to get investment capital elsewhere. Part of Kiviat’s suit seems to suggest that Marriott, who paid Kiviat $5,000 in the middle of 2018 to provide some token compensation which totaled a mere fraction of what Kiviat is owed, after enduring this for nearly a year essentially the term of the contract, Kiviat finally contacted his lawyer in December, 2017. The case is about to go to court unless a settlement is reached.

Once this happens shortly, the legal right to discovery and cross examination gets underway. There is no credible way, under oath or penalty of perjury, that Pandolfi and any government agencies he currently is connected to, can “defend” their decades long antics.

Kiviat emphasized that, “Not only am I seeking to be paid what I am owed legally by contract for my hard work and efforts, but the suit has the added value of exposing the way the intelligence agencies have seemingly manipulated the UFO community and overall, the general public.”
