1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Now I should like to present our first scientist, Dr. James E. McDonald, who now holds the position 2 00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:17,880 of Senior Physicist, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, and Professor of Department of Meteorology, 3 00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:27,880 University of Arizona. Briefly, his educational background includes a BA in Chemistry from 4 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:35,200 the University of Omaha, an MS in Meteorology from the Boston Tech, and a PhD in Physics 5 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:44,840 from Iowa State University. He has been a research physicist at the University of Chicago 6 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:52,840 and has taught physics at Iowa State University prior to his current position. He is a member 7 00:00:53,840 --> 00:01:00,840 of the American Meteorological Society, the American Geophysical Union, the Royal Meteorology 8 00:01:03,080 --> 00:01:10,080 Society, and Sigma Psi. I am honored to present our distinguished guest, Dr. McDonald. 9 00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:18,080 Ladies and gentlemen, I am pleased to have the chance to talk with you and discuss the 10 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:26,080 results of what I have found in a approximately 12 months intensive study of this extremely 11 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:35,280 interesting problem of the under-deadified flying office. I began about last April to take 12 00:01:37,200 --> 00:01:43,200 a post-bocaine problem, having been moderately interested in the problem for some years prior 13 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:50,200 to that. I have been at Wright-Patterson and taught at Blue Book, and have gone through 14 00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:54,200 150 or so cases in their files, examining and looking at them, and have been up there 15 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:59,200 three times talking to scientific and military staff at Blue Book. I had talked with the 16 00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:05,200 people in the Air Force, both the scientific and military, about other aspects of the problem, 17 00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:11,200 and around the country discussing with independent groups such as Niacath and Washington, one of 18 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:16,200 the outstanding independent groups who has done an excellent job over the years, and digging 19 00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:23,200 into this fascinating problem. I have on my own fork interviewed dozens of key witnesses 20 00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:32,360 in important cases around the country, and have examined the hundreds of cases in a good 21 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,760 deal of detail. I have gone over Air Force evaluations, Dr. Menzel's analysis of problems, 22 00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:46,760 and have other evaluations, and it is against that background that I now tell you that the 23 00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:54,560 signing that Mr. Powell discussed, which I was quite interested to hear about, is by 24 00:02:54,560 --> 00:03:01,560 no means out of the representative of the categories of signings that demand immediate, serious scientific 25 00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:09,560 attention in this country and all over the world. That is part of what I am here to tell 26 00:03:09,760 --> 00:03:16,760 you today. This is not an unsent problem. It has been made out, and a lot of you have 27 00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:21,760 had fun, I suppose, writing feature stories about little green men and hoaxers and so on. 28 00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:26,760 Believe me, that is the wrong part of this problem to take a look at. In the past week 29 00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:32,760 I have spent all of my time discussing with scientific colleagues and with military people 30 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:38,760 in Washington my serious concern, and I am glad to be able to say to you that this week, 31 00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:45,760 I think I have given you ten talks this week in briefings. I am glad to say to you that 32 00:03:45,760 --> 00:03:50,760 scientific and official concern is beginning to change. I have been at the office of neighborhood 33 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:57,760 research lab, I have been at the garden twice this week, briefing, studying in the military 34 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,760 Air Force and other personnel, and I have talked to Academy, National Academy of People this 35 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:08,760 week, National Science Foundation and other persons whose influence on the problem I believe 36 00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:15,760 will quickly show up about whose affiliations I am not free to discuss with. I have to say 37 00:04:15,760 --> 00:04:23,760 to you that as a result of a pretty close look at this problem, we all missed the vote. 38 00:04:23,760 --> 00:04:30,760 I think we have been misled. I think the problem has been most serious and must handled officially 39 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:41,760 for twenty years. The problem has been misrepresented by many interacting factors including 40 00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:49,760 yourselves, including scientists such as myself, and I have tried to put all of this down on 41 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:55,760 a rather long paper that is at the back of the room, and I kept possibly twenty minutes 42 00:04:55,760 --> 00:05:00,760 before all of the details of this, but I will refer to the sections of this twenty-eight 43 00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:06,760 page paper as I go along, and I hope that since I know you can't read that now, and I know 44 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:11,760 you can't read it before you leave, I hope that all of you will take back either to read 45 00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:17,760 on the airplane or to return with it and give to your scientific editors or air-bonded editors 46 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:22,760 or whatever you want to have that paper which shows into some of the details develops my 47 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:29,760 point of view as best I can. I think the problem has been superficially and incompetently handled 48 00:05:29,760 --> 00:05:36,760 by the Air Force. I have said that in many open discussions. I have said it to Air Force 49 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:43,760 generals this week. I said it to Air Force generals months ago, and I say it again. The 50 00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:50,760 history of the problem as Major Mandela briefly indicated began in 1947. The turning point in 51 00:05:50,760 --> 00:05:55,760 the problem, and I agree with the gold-modest because all of these details are spelled out 52 00:05:55,760 --> 00:06:00,760 in my paper, the pillar of the point in the history of the year of the old was the Robertson 53 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:07,760 panel of 1953, five well-known scientists assembled by the Air Force and the CIA to have a look 54 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:14,760 at the problem. There, the security agency concern that led to that group grew out of the heavy 55 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:21,760 wave of reports of 1952, not exceeded even by last year 1,000 reports. I was startled when 56 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:28,760 I went into Major Mandela's office and saw five feet of a shell being just devoted to the 57 00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:34,760 1952 wave of sighting. So many that security people were concerned with the clogging of 58 00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:41,760 intelligence channels. They had five scientists assemble. They spent two days, they spied good 59 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:48,760 men, and two days is just not enough to look at this problem. They ruled the relevance of 60 00:06:48,760 --> 00:06:53,760 hostility over artifacts of the hostile foreign power, suggesting that an educational program 61 00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:58,760 be launched. This was never done, it would have been a good thing. The fourth recommendation, 62 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:04,760 which came from strong interaction with CIA representatives in this session, and I have 63 00:07:04,760 --> 00:07:11,760 written my report on page six or seven, mentioned the names of persons whom CIA representatives 64 00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:20,760 paid three over there. The interaction led to the recommendation, I quote from the report, 65 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:25,760 I am in the superior position of being almost the only one outside of official Air Force 66 00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:31,760 channels who has seen this document that Major Mandela gave to me and I made extensive notes 67 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:37,760 when I asked such for this for a copy. Things happened and it has been re-classified by the CIA. 68 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:44,760 I have made no comments about this for several months. It was fully clear to all the personnel 69 00:07:44,760 --> 00:07:51,760 of Blue Book and the foreign technology division, I have no hesitation now to discuss it in 70 00:07:51,760 --> 00:07:59,760 full, see my paper for more details. The actual request was for quote debunking of the flying 71 00:07:59,760 --> 00:08:05,760 saucers and the reason was to quote reduce public interest in flying saucers. This is not 72 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:11,760 a sinister dark objective. They wanted to get the noise out of the signal that was plugging 73 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,760 the intelligence channels but it was a sign of the tragedy that at that time this problem 74 00:08:15,760 --> 00:08:21,760 was not turned over in the face of non-hostility, the scientific groups. It was not, it stayed 75 00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,760 in the Air Force as grandly as nearly as I can see it is downgraded to an extremely low 76 00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:32,760 priority project which Blue Book when I was there first involved the Major, the Sergeant 77 00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:39,760 and the Secretary. Now Major Mandela has indicated that the Air Force is on other sources of 78 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:44,760 expertise and when we read the press releases from the Pentagon desk we do indeed get the 79 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:50,760 opinion that Air Force expertise which is not zero by any means has been used. My examination 80 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:56,760 of the problem strongly indicates that that Air Force expertise has had very little to 81 00:08:56,760 --> 00:09:00,760 do with Project Blue Book and that this is the hardest problem. For instance in the case 82 00:09:00,760 --> 00:09:07,760 of radar I talked not very many days ago to the Air Force's best radar propagation man 83 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:12,760 Dr. David Atlas who indicated to me, no he has never been involved in any discussions 84 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,760 of propagation of copies or anything like that in all his years at Air Force Cambridge 85 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:23,760 and I can go on and illustrate examples of that sort. The question of what the UFOs are 86 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:31,760 is crucial when you look at sightings such as Matthew, Mr. Pal and Mr. Pave have talked 87 00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:36,760 about when you realize as I and I will do but did not 12 months ago that these are not 88 00:09:36,760 --> 00:09:41,760 unrepresentative sightings. The close range sightings of discs and cigar shaped objects 89 00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:46,760 are frequently seen at tens of feet within populous areas are on the increase, credible 90 00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:51,760 observers, multiple witnesses, case in Beverly, Massachusetts were five adults through the 91 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,760 police officers, including 20 feet of an object that was right over the middle of the street 92 00:09:56,760 --> 00:10:05,760 and in fact my paper are 18 cases of thousands and in this particular case of the last spring 93 00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:12,760 I said that sort of thing in Powell's observation are representative of the interesting observations 94 00:10:12,760 --> 00:10:17,760 they are not confined to the United States when time is going on all over the world. 95 00:10:17,760 --> 00:10:21,760 When you look at this as far as reports I can only bounce for the American reports that 96 00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:28,760 I have checked and those are completely staggering and when Blue Book tells you and me as we 97 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,760 just heard a moment ago that there is nothing in the unidentified objects that defies present 98 00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:40,760 day explanation in terms of science and technology that's Balderdash and that is 99 00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:48,760 and this letter is wrong. This kind of don't say a logic that you Mr. Powell saw. Well if 100 00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:53,760 you could be the only one who heard of it you would forget about it. But look at the unidentified 101 00:10:53,760 --> 00:10:59,760 cases, the exeter Damon Texas, for during Michigan. Look at the sightings that last only a couple 102 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:07,760 months ago in Davis, California. Look at these cases that simply fit no dimensional, no scientific, 103 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:12,760 no known explanation. Something is going on here of the greatest scientific interest that 104 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,760 has been shoved under a rug, ridiculed and laughed out of court. You have ridiculed your 105 00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:21,760 future writers. So you do write a funny story. Once the air is still due there is nothing 106 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:26,760 to it. Once more logical than to say people say things. There are a lot of nuts around 107 00:11:26,760 --> 00:11:31,760 the country and that has led to the, now in fact, very few of these are reported. For 108 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:37,760 example, Mr. Powell's report never got on the wire. He called after days deliberation. 109 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,760 He told me Naval Air Station had gone and they weren't very eager to see if they were 110 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:49,760 going to report it. And the number of people who have been hurt, invader citizens who have 111 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,760 been hurt by Air Force callous rejection and discrediting saying they saw quickly stars 112 00:11:55,760 --> 00:12:02,760 on is a very large number that I am, I have a person in contact with. And I will just 113 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,760 describe it as a citizen of all this kind of, if there were some reason for it. And we're 114 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:16,760 in a national security issue but it's just incompetence and operation. And we have a lot of serious 115 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,760 issues with the problem, despite the fact that there might be some conspiracy. And I've given 116 00:12:22,760 --> 00:12:28,760 that very careful thought for a number of reasons. The group at night after Washington has had 117 00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:34,760 much more contact with this problem than either the Air Force or I. And they have again and 118 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,760 again encountered cases where it looked to them as if there must be some really high level 119 00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:44,760 conspiracy. People have suggested maybe Bluebeck is only a front organization and doesn't know 120 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:49,760 that it's only a front organization. I can't begin to tell you the course that I have 121 00:12:49,760 --> 00:12:55,760 checked on this but I do not think it's a grand cover up, it is a grand follow-up. A follow-up 122 00:12:55,760 --> 00:13:02,760 of incredible proportions unprecedented in my experience. There has been scientists who 123 00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:09,760 worked with the problem and not very many, Dr. Menzel has won. And on pages 5 to 7 or 7 to 124 00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:19,760 11 of my paper I make illustrative comments on my strong disagreement. With the basis of 125 00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:28,760 his arguments I cannot agree with the optical, physical, astronomical principles that argumentation 126 00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:35,760 that he uses in there. And let's go out so clearly on pages 7 to 11 that I will not elaborate 127 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:43,760 that in detail. I do not believe they represent scientifically sound analyses and you can see 128 00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:50,760 examples in the paper. Another person who has recently looked at the problem is Philip 129 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:56,760 Class who has thought perhaps these are plasma phenomena. That's a reasonable thing to have 130 00:13:56,760 --> 00:14:02,760 looked at and I have had to look at it. I can't agree with Philip Class that any substantial 131 00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:08,760 portion of the cases can be accounted for in corona or while lightning turns and I make a few 132 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:16,760 comments about that on the same pages. A recombination of life times of plasma in the best 133 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:21,760 labs in the country is the biggest problem of fuse research. You get life times of more than 134 00:14:21,760 --> 00:14:30,760 seconds but how did Mr. Powell see this plasma coming along from his hands and watch it for 135 00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:38,760 tens of seconds? How did two California high-way control when it red-bots from California stand 136 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:46,760 about 150-200 feet from 100 foot long object that had great big white blinking lights on it that 137 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:52,760 moved up and down and led them to chase them about 70 minutes? How did the Portage County 138 00:14:52,760 --> 00:15:01,760 Sheriff's deputies of last spring follow for an hour and a half a plasma or a blinking star 139 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:08,760 or as Major Quentin Ellis said, a combination of echo and venus. An explanation that is utterly 140 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:12,760 absurd and it still stands for official explanation. Currently, your status is told. 141 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:18,760 The investigation confirms that. That too is utter rock and I tell you. 142 00:15:18,760 --> 00:15:26,760 This is what the same hands-for-stop and you editors are in an excellent committee to help stop this by pressing 143 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:32,760 for what I am afraid of this culture may be the only way to escalate serious scientific 144 00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:40,760 concern and that is to ask for a full and fair international inquiry into the past 20 years of 145 00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:47,760 mishandling of this extremely important problem. Now scientists doesn't even like to pursue these 146 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:56,760 routes. I don't. You often get, not only less than you hoped, you get into, you move side of 147 00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:01,760 progress but sometimes you don't. We must have a hearing that is not like the one last spring 148 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,760 which was called by Congressman Ford as a result of constituents concerned over Air Force handling 149 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:13,760 of the Michigan cases which were explained in terms of sloth gas. No single explanation 150 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:19,760 was brought to the Air Force for ridicules. I discussed that case in my paper too. That too is nonsense. 151 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:25,760 And this still stands the explanation. This is an explanation that came directly from Dr. Heineck 152 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:30,760 and the Clinton-Mitchell-Mellon has ensured me that it's he, not him, that I must have my discussions with 153 00:16:30,760 --> 00:16:37,760 and I have but the explanation has not been retracted. When the Ford got into an investigation, 154 00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:44,760 the Department of Defense, the Department of Defense, the Department of Defense, the Department 155 00:16:44,760 -->

When they examine the science, for example, they have examined the 192 00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:29,760 fascinating model of evidence that exists on this column. It has 193 00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:45,760 been generally put under the blog. Wired... 194 00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:52,760 between what you as editors suspect is the nature of the problem and what you see in 195 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,760 just looking at cooking service coverage where you get all the socks on or a gazette reports 196 00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:03,760 is what's incredible. I couldn't believe that my first law months ago last spring, 197 00:20:03,760 --> 00:20:10,760 I kept cooking service coverage on this problem. I thought I knew something about the problem 198 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:15,760 and the number of incidents that are smoking Pennsylvania or across the Washington, 199 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:20,760 I've never heard of. Nobody else here is up if you read New York Times and your own paper. 200 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:26,760 You won't have heard them because we have collectively helped the Air Force just kind of forget about 201 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:34,760 just someone that comes to a problem and who have helped and yet the evidence is simply a sound thing. 202 00:20:34,760 --> 00:20:42,760 Well, I much prefer to talk about the purely scientific aspects of some of these explanations. 203 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:50,760 I have no startling scientific illumination of the problem. It's baffling to me. 204 00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:57,760 Nothing in my scientific education prepares me to give you a packed explanation of what is going on here. 205 00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:05,760 But I'm saying to the colleagues on the basis of this examination of many cases which are 206 00:21:05,760 --> 00:21:10,760 not folks' expectations in total. There are folks, there are misinterpreted phenomena, 207 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,760 there are all these things. They are not advanced test vehicles, believe me. 208 00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:18,760 No Air Force test vehicle has been a goal for five miles yet. 209 00:21:18,760 --> 00:21:23,760 A load of gas truck in Oklahoma, Anderson, another temple was talking to me. 210 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:31,760 This is the sort of thing landing in the middle of cities and no American test vehicle is going to be tested in Brazil or New Zealand 211 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:36,760 and no Russian test vehicle is going to be tested in the United States or in England. 212 00:21:36,760 --> 00:21:42,760 These are, there's every reason that the phenomenon is global. They are not advanced test vehicles. 213 00:21:42,760 --> 00:21:49,760 They are not hallucinations. I've had three sessions with psychologists to try to get at. 214 00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:53,760 Is there anything in your clinical experience that would match that? The answer is no. 215 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,760 Certainly it doesn't sound like anything psychological. I've done it through all. 216 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:03,760 When you have some cases of dozens of witnesses and there are such, some frequently radar sightings, 217 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:11,760 although they follow the Air Force, those are disclaimed and blamed on weather, electronic malfunctions and so on and other certain things. 218 00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:16,760 And it's a bling that way after 1953. You want to get all the Air Force radar sightings. 219 00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:25,760 You go back before the CIA requested the bugging policy and Air Force regulating 200 bags to all I wish to discuss in my paper by the way 220 00:22:25,760 --> 00:22:30,760 with more detail might be going to here. 221 00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:35,760 Well what could be done? The Colorado program is a beginning but I'm uneasy about the Colorado program. 222 00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:39,760 There is not nearly enough scientific talent for that program. 223 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:49,760 I said that quite openly without attending the car to many people in Washington and this must be beefed up immediately. 224 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:56,760 The third of $100 is to, I guess, our book wall to say, what about a waste of taxpayers' money? That's not true. 225 00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,760 The book wall is in the room. What we need is much more attention to this problem. 226 00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:06,760 Unfortunately, it requires money but it requires people and that's what's sure about the car. 227 00:23:06,760 --> 00:23:13,760 So they have not taken the problem on trace, personally not to muster the scientific talent to justice for that. 228 00:23:13,760 --> 00:23:21,760 And we need immediate escalation of the problem. Congratulations to the inquiry that you can press forth will connect to the threat. 229 00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:28,760 I've also to some of the problem arrived. I don't have great confidence in that being the greatest solution. 230 00:23:28,760 --> 00:23:31,760 I'll continue to drive one scientist to pursue it in other ways. 231 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:39,760 The problem belongs in a science-oriented agency, not the military, by their own statements which I agree. 232 00:23:39,760 --> 00:23:43,760 There is no clear cut-out of this monstility. Let's get into a scientific agency. 233 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:51,760 Amusingly, all my efforts to interest NASA in this give me the feeling that they think it's nonsense too. 234 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:56,760 I think they've been boot-winked and sort of an intensity brain-watch for years and years. 235 00:23:56,760 --> 00:24:02,760 And all of this has not as result of any pilot conspiracy to justice a file. 236 00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:07,760 But a file of great, really incredible proportions. 237 00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:15,760 We must launch a new level of investigation and to close on that point there are very specific things. 238 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:20,760 Radar is already deployed. The trouble is it's compromised by present-regulating. 239 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:30,760 There are many radar sightings. This would be an immediate objective source of information that could be put into scientific terms and be very useful. 240 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:36,760 There are a large number of electromagnetic effects known in the evidence. 241 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:41,760 Car stop in cases. A level in Texas of 1957. A fascinating case. 242 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:45,760 Nine different medical stops. This is going on all the time. 243 00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:50,760 A nightcap must have 150 examples of this. There is going on in Australia, England and so on. 244 00:24:50,760 --> 00:24:54,760 This one here with us are apparently interference effects right on TV. 245 00:24:54,760 --> 00:24:58,760 Magnetologists, math compasses. A lot of electromagnetic effects. 246 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,760 Well, we are collectively very good, so to me so. 247 00:25:01,760 --> 00:25:05,760 Science flows a lot about electromagnetic sensing devices. 248 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:10,760 Many things could be done quickly if only the thing we're taking the problem we're taking seriously. 249 00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:16,760 Airlines. There are many airline reports in the whole of the evidence. 250 00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,760 But once the airports began to discredit, and they have just in some cases, 251 00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:27,760 mercifully discredit pilots, that source of information has pretty much dried up. 252 00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:37,760 That can be changed. No long teams need to be prepared to get out into the field of a hurry with a lot of gear. 253 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:44,760 This can be done. I discussed this in the Pentagon last week with people who know a great deal more about that sort of thing. 254 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:50,760 The whole question of pre-1947 science, which I can't begin to even sketch, 255 00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:56,760 must be looked at by historical scholars as well as students of the history of technology 256 00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,760 to examine the interesting question of whether 257 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:09,760 the findings that appear to constitute a continuum of low levels running back to the turn of the century at least are the same phenomenon. 258 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:15,760 My camp is coming out to the audience in a few months that represents a good compilation of evidence. 259 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:19,760 It needs this historical sophistication to assess it. 260 00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:25,760 That's a very important thing to do because the whole nature of the problem is quite different if it is the case. 261 00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:32,760 I mean in this direction that aside from the marked increase beginning in 1947, 262 00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:41,760 there appears to be the same phenomenon of craft-like machine-like objects operating in our environment for tens of years. 263 00:26:41,760 --> 00:26:45,760 All of the problem is the ridicule that you're setting on it. 264 00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,760 You're setting on it in a way that is very important. 265 00:26:49,760 --> 00:26:54,760 Get off the lid and get your wire service people to take it seriously. 266 00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:56,760 Look at the problem yourself. 267 00:26:56,760 --> 00:27:02,760 Examine it for yourself and get off that lid because that's a big problem now. 268 00:27:02,760 --> 00:27:08,760 You don't know whether changes in the frequency of sightings is a real change 269 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,760 or just because you have given it serious credence in your area 270 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:17,760 and so people come out with reports that they wouldn't otherwise have told us all about. 271 00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,760 You're on the lid. Get off it. 272 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,760 Ask for congressional investigation. 273 00:27:23,760 --> 00:27:28,760 Read and just report the 18 or 20 editorial comments in the assembly. 274 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:34,760 See that some of your colleagues have already pressed for this, perhaps too faintly in the past. 275 00:27:34,760 --> 00:27:42,760 Have a look for yourself at the evidence and you will find an astounding picture of enormous interest 276 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:47,760 that has been mishandled and misrepresented for far too long. Thank you. 277 00:27:50,760 --> 00:28:01,760 Thank you. 278 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:03,760 Thank you. 279 00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:09,760 Well, we've got a good juicy controversy going on. 280 00:28:09,760 --> 00:28:11,760 I'm all shook up myself.
