John Estridge was in touch with @WhistlingMike about his recovered material
The post says "John," while the attached screenshots display the contact name "Jon Estridge" and the nested reporting identifies former Senate Select Committee on Intelligence staff member Jon Estridge.
Attached screenshots
The four attached images show a partially redacted Signal conversation displayed under the contact label "Jon Estridge." The account posting the screenshots does not provide native message exports or other public authentication. The visible portions are transcribed below without reconstructing redacted text.
Screenshot 1

The first visible message contains a seven-second video of a man seated at a table and the caption, "If you want to hurt me, then my uncle will make you disappear from this world." The following visible exchange reads:
Gray: Yeah that's Ji
Blue: Keeps getting better
Gray: Keep telling AARO
Blue: Ok
Gray: Are you going to meet with the LM contact
Gray: We need FBI to be aware
Blue: I was. I mean I need a deal. Some path. I spoke to Jesse tonight he was saying we could do a service contract for up to 100 million as a red team if senator wants it. Turn everything we find and locate. Feel better than this shady shit for a deal
Screenshot 2

Blue: You ever heard of the [redacted] Project? [redacted]
Gray: Negative
Gray: What's the context
Blue: Got asked if I wanted to work on it. Called the Florida number today. Apparently [redacted] claims would be going up with NASA. Not sure how I fit into it. Asked me to give more details on what I was doing and he could walk me into CEO at Lockheed. Was a weird conversation.
Gray: Sounds like what you need to do TBH
Gray: This is the deal they are cutting for you to shut down ops is my best guess
Gray: I don't know for sure but I'd definitely explore to fullest
Blue: Wants me to email him a watered down version of what I'm doing and can do. I guess I'll type it up and send it
Blue: Seems like every deal everywhere is a [redacted] [redacted] is the problem
Blue: Hopefully not a trap
Gray: I don't think so
The final gray message continues into the next screenshot.
Screenshot 3

Gray: I think they are trying to fund a win/win to protect Nat/Sec
Gray: Find
Gray: You owe me a beer BTW! [laughing emojis]
Gray: No matter what.... This will be better than anything the gov could do
Gray: Can you please share any names? I can do informal follow up with folks I know at LM
The blue account then posts a partially visible screenshot containing redacted contact information and a longer message about an unnamed project, commercial and military applications, an agreement to monitor and inspect an unidentified subject, NASA access, a direct connection to a Lockheed CEO, and work with intelligence agencies involving Chinese submarines. The message continues into the next screenshot.
Screenshot 4

The visible continuation of the blue message reads:
...subs so he went to DC and worked with intelligence agencies who weren't aware China wa[redacted] submarines. Was big on not letting anyone else have my technology that he seemed to know but also ask me to explain. Prefer to get a voucher for him to feel better on this. Unsolicited. Just got this message from him.
Gray: Roger. Keep us in the loop! My gut says this is the correct route
Blue: I will. Don't need details just a thumbs up if he's legit
Gray: If you meet with him suggest a busy time at a restaurant
Gray: He is legit
Gray: Just verified
Blue: If this gets to Senator Rounds tell him to call the Pentagon back [redacted]
The screenshot then displays the date divider "Nov 10, 2023."

DIRECT FROM MY SSCI BRIEFING PAPERS: If you want to bring in people who will tell you how this is done you’ll need to bring in the same people we did, experts in Condensed Matter Physics. While not on our team I did reach out to Inna Vishik Assistant Professor in UC Davis Physics Department, her answer came back complete with additions by leaders in the field such as Vijay Singh PHD Theoretical Physics and Condensed Matter Physics, Professor Alexander Kemper, Dr. George Burkhard, and others. I asked them to put Condensed Matter Physics into simple terms….. they failed at that. But I will read you some of the highlights that will explain how this field works.
Condensed Matter Physics is a juxtaposition between the mundane and the fantastical also encompassing the ability of condensed matter physics to not only describe nature, but also to manipulate it. We live in one universe, but crystalline solids allow us to create or discover another universe with different properties. Do you want a universe where magnets only have a north pole, but no south pole? This was realized inside Pyrochlore materials such as Dy2Ti2O7 which were synthesized in a lab and whose peculiar magnetic structure gives rise to quasiparticles which behave like magnetic monopoles. Do you want a two – dimensional universe? Maybe one with a slower speed of light, a slower cosmic speed of light? Both are realized in Graphene, a fantastical material which is usually produced in the most mundane way possible, by taking a piece of scotch tape to a hunk of graphene rock mined out of the ground. The science of condensed matter has a small number of tiny constituents: electrons, protons, and neutrons. But when many, many of them are put together, emergent properties can appear which encompass a macroscopic material and are often quite different from the sum of their parts. Condensed matter systems manifest other quasiparticles ( objects that behave like particles inside the solid but don’t exist outside the solid) which are predicted in particle physics but never observed in free space.
It should be noted that often times these phenomena are discovered by surprise, not predicted beforehand. Previously, I discussed fractional charges in the fractional quantum hall effect and superconductivity (fun fact: the theory of the Higgs Boson originates from the theory explaining why certain metals become superconductors at low temperature: so all of physics is connected) Other cool phenomena include super-obese electrons in some rare-earth compounds who behave as if they have a mass 1000x that of a free electron, materials in which the resistance suddenly increases by a factor of 100,000 when subjected to a magnetic field.
The smallest speck of crystalline solid contains over a septillion mutually interaction electrons and ions, which can be arranged in nearly limitless ways, so there is no shortage of astounding phenomena.

Its condensed-matter passage closely follows Inna Vishik's 2016 Quora answer republished by Forbes, including the same sequence of examples and distinctive phrases.

Second quoted post by Ben Schreckinger
NEW: I've unmasked "@whistlingmike,” the previously anonymous businessman who says he encountered a quiet, triangular craft hovering one night over public land in Kansas more than 20 years ago.
Mike says he's spent years developing a method to detect the craft and trying to reverse-engineer its revolutionary technology.
If true, Mike’s story could explain a large number of UFO sightings and rewrite the history of aviation.
I’ve also obtained a photo of a piece of raw material that Mike says is integral to the workings of the craft.
According to my sources, he left this material in the custody of the Senate intelligence committee for many months after presenting his claims to lawmakers and their staff.
Mike, whose full name is Michael Spicer, tells me that he's planning to unveil some of his findings next month at a series of presentations in Colorado.
