1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000 Dr. McDonald has devoted several years of near full-time study to the subject. 2 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:17,000 His interviewer confirmed that all major participants who either officially or independently investigated 3 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:24,000 certain aspects of the UFO problem is one of the most sought after speakers. 4 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:32,000 He found that out in trying to line him up for here, and he traveled extensively in pursuit of his studies 5 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:36,000 and investigating and lecturing on the subject. 6 00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:44,000 His present position is that of Senior Physicist, Institute of Atmospheric Physics, 7 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:50,000 and Professor of Department of Meteorology, University of Arizona, Tucson. 8 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:55,000 His principal research interest is Atmospheric Physics. 9 00:00:55,000 --> 00:01:03,000 His educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts degree in Chemistry, University of Omaha, 1942, 10 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:11,000 Master of Science, Degree in Meteorology, Master's in Institute of Technology, 1945, 11 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:18,000 and a Doctor of Philosophy, Degree in Physics, Iowa State University, 1951. 12 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:26,000 He joined the University of Arizona staff in 1984, coming to university from the University of Chicago, 13 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:32,000 where he was on Todd's physics project there as a research physicist. 14 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:38,000 Prior to that, he was assistant professor of physics, Iowa State University, 15 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:44,000 and during the World War II, he was member of Naval Intelligence. 16 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:53,000 His professional affiliations include American Meteorological Society, American Geophysical Union, 17 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:02,000 the Royal Meteorological Society, American Association for the Advancement of Science, and Sigma Chi. 18 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:09,000 His professional activities that the doctors include is a member of the National Science Foundation 19 00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:20,000 advisory panel on Forexpandetic Sciences, a member of the advisory panel for the U.S. Navy SF Project called Storm Fury. 20 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:28,000 He's a member of the National Academy of Sciences panel on Weather and Climate Modification, 21 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:34,000 and a member of the American Meteorological Society Publication Commission. 22 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Dr. McDonald will speak to us for about 45 minutes and then has the time to answer any questions that you might have on your mind. 23 00:02:47,000 --> 00:03:01,000 I'd like to mention also that an abstract of his paper will be mailed to me and mailed to each of you that are interested if you will contact me. 24 00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:08,000 With that, it is a pleasure to introduce our distinguished lecturer, Dr. McDonald. 25 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:21,000 Dr. McDonald, I'm very pleased to be here to talk to you in this AIAA section. 26 00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:26,000 I'm getting around to a lot of your fellow members this year, 27 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:45,000 and I regard you as a professional audience as in many ways one of the most appropriate professional societies to before whom one might discuss this U.S. problem for reasons that will become clearer a little bit later. 28 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:54,000 I, as Jean pointed out, have been pursuing this problem very intensively for so much more than a couple of years. 29 00:03:54,000 --> 00:04:11,000 My impression is 180 degrees opposite to Dr. Condon instead of agreeing with him in his recently released report, which is published by the way in a People Back version if you haven't seen it, Matt and Bucks. 30 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000 He recommends that the matter should be dropped, that Project New Books should perhaps be. 31 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:26,000 There's nothing inside of the significance, even urges that school teachers said they're the great students from reading books on U.S. 32 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:39,000 I say conversely that after interviewing about 500 witnesses here in some foreign areas, talking to all of the Air Force, so people who have anything to do with the problem, 33 00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:47,000 checking many, many cases that I think it may be one of the most important scientific problems before us. 34 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:54,000 And that's a slight disagreement, as you can speak. So we have something to keep the pot in mind. 35 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:02,000 Let me quickly summarize some of the main points of my position so you see where I stand. 36 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Then let me turn to the Condon Report. 37 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:19,000 Initially, the title that I suggested for my talk was the impact of the UFO problem on the National Space Program, and I believe it will have such an impact. 38 00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:40,000 And I attended that title to a Descending View of the Condon Report shortly after I saw the Condon Report, whose witness and whose low scientific caliber is, in my opinion, sort of a scientific scandal. 39 00:05:40,000 --> 00:06:00,000 The total number of reports of observations by credible witnesses, reliable persons, of structured objects, craft-like or machine-like objects that appear to be fabricated, not fuzzy lobs of light. 40 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:16,000 The total number of reliable reports of structured objects that are now on record from all parts of the world are orders of magnitude too numerous to casually ignore the UFO problem any longer. 41 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,000 The second main point I'd make is that global point that I inserted a moment ago. 42 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:28,000 There is no evidence that this is, as one Englishman said, a California phenomenon. 43 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:43,000 There is no reason to agree with the joke in skeptic literature who said this America's answer to the Loch Ness Monster, because there are just as many sightings in England per square mile and probably more. 44 00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:51,000 The largest wave of sightings that ever occurred, and I've talked to a Frenchman and investigated these, occurred in France in 1954. 45 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:56,000 I have been in Australia, Tasmania, and New Zealand. I've interviewed about 75 or 80 witnesses. 46 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:04,000 There is no difference between what the Australians in the outback are seeing versus what Iowa farmers are seeing. 47 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:14,000 It is a global problem. South America, an arctic Greenland Eskimo, is South American Indians, French peasants, and so on. 48 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,000 Third main point, despite many efforts to explain it in conventional terms, to explain the puzzling cases. 49 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:32,000 I was a little bit of a semantic business here, but there are so many puzzling cases that have defined explanations for 20 years that, again, one can't put the problem aside. 50 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:54,000 There are far, far more cases that have been explained, and there is no dispute at all between anyone who has ever studied the problem seriously that a majority of raw, post-UFO reports, unquote, are misidentifications of lights in the sky, Venus, fireballs above all, aircraft with probe lights, and lots of other things. 51 00:07:54,000 --> 00:08:08,000 The bulk of reports are not significant, but one doesn't ignore a whole problem on the score that there is a lot of noise mixed in with a signal. 52 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,000 You try to integrate to pick out the signal. 53 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:29,000 The fourth point is that there has been no study in depth anywhere in the world of this problem, and that includes the 20 years of effort on the part of the United States Air Force, and I'll return to that point shortly. 54 00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:49,000 Public, fifth point, public, Congress, scientific community, the others are doing the like have accepted with few exceptions the Air Force claims that Blue Book was pursuing the problem, finding nothing, nothing that devised scientific explanation. 55 00:08:49,000 --> 00:09:07,000 Sixth point is that although the Air Force has claimed that that Blue Book, Project Blue Book undertaking, was of a scientific nature, and although they have frequently asserted in past releases from the Pentagon that the Air Force was using the best scientific talents available to it, 56 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:29,000 I stand here able to defend hours on length if you want to listen the contention that that is utter eyewash. There has not been any application of the substantial scientific talent available to the United States Air Force, say Air Force Cambered Research Labs and Air Weather Service and groups like that on this problem. 57 00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:53,000 It's over ego press people at Sathaly who are generating that kind of very unfortunately misleading information. If we had not all been told collectively that the Air Force was really digging into this and finding nothing, there would have been scientists long ago who would have closed this problem, but everybody believed as I did that the Air Force must mean what it has said. 58 00:09:53,000 --> 00:10:18,000 But that is completely wrong. I could as I say talk for quite a long number of hours on specific bits and evidence cases, testing to the superficial and incompetent manner in which the Air Force has handled its UFO investigations in the last 15 years. 59 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:36,000 Now one has to take a long time going into the history. You have to separate very carefully the pre-1953 Air Force investigations from the post-1953 and the turning point was a CIA convened panel, the Robertson panel. 60 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:52,000 Don't get all excited about the Colk and Dagger stuff. I don't think the CIA cares at all about the UFOs. Their concern at that time was real, primarily because of the many fast radar, fast track radar cases already on record by 1953. 61 00:10:52,000 --> 00:11:01,000 They convened this panel of quite eminent scientists who after three or four days of looking at about 15 or 20 cases decided there was nothing to it. 62 00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:22,000 And that was when the thing began really to go downhill after having reached a high water mark in 1952 with fairly serious investigations by then rather active group headed particularly by Captain Ruppelt whose book is one of the better sources of information on the whole problem. 63 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:40,000 We have had scientific advice given to the Air Force. They have repeatedly gotten puzzled about their cases. They have gone into the scientific community and repeatedly beginning with Irving Langier in 1948 through on what appears to be about a half a day investigation told the Air Force to forget it. 64 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:53,000 Then the Rayon Corporation, then some one or two professors from MIT, then the Robertson panel of very good men, Louis-Louis Alvarez, the Nobelist last year, was one of five members. 65 00:11:53,000 --> 00:12:08,000 Robertson was a relativist from Caltech. Burke Newell was a member of the panel from good men. Then came the Tell Memorial Institute. You may think that the $500,000 spent recently with the Canon Committee as the first substantial outside expenditure. 66 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:17,000 $400,000 was spent with the Tell Memorial Institute producing an almost useless document. The Blue Book Report 14. Again, bad advice. 67 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:33,000 Write down the history of the whole project through their consultationships, advisory panels and so on. Again and again, you look back and you find the Air Force has been given what can only be described as snap judgments, not based on getting out and interviewing lots of witnesses, but just probably nothing. 68 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:55,000 Two of this. People see things. There are things in the atmosphere we don't know. That advice has continued to turn the dial down on Air Force interest and that is what I regard as the reason for failure of Air Force to respond to the many intra-air force cases, stunning cases on record in the project of Blue Book files at Bryce Patterson. 69 00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:08,000 I've been up there three times. You can imagine. They, in principle, excited against in some of these cases, but they're all just explained away as problem-a-burge, possible aircraft, maybe balloons and so on. 70 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:22,000 And then a very small number that they finally concede or unidentify. Why hasn't the Air Force responded to that? Some people insist. It's CIA conspiracy at high levels. They know all about these. There's hypothesis runs. 71 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:40,000 I'm not talking about nuts. I'm talking about serious investigators, particularly Major Keough of NYCAP, who's indeed a very serious investigator of this problem, but I believe he has failed to, his background is not such that he could sense the impact of all that scientific advice, negative scientific advice on the problem. 72 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:55,000 And his contention that the CIA must know that these are extraterrestrial and is keeping this from the public by design, perhaps even keeping Air Force from somewhat of a dark. I reject that hypothesis, not casually, but after a great deal of thought. 73 00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:11,000 And I think it's all this bad scientific advice that has done it. And now comes the Cunningham Report as the largest single piece of bad scientific advice that I have yet had a chance to look at in this problem. 74 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:35,000 And the list you're brought by the Cunningham Report is is compounded by the strong endorsement given to it last month by the National Academy of Science. If you look at this month's Academy News Report, I just have a Xerox over here, you will find a final statement on the Academy text of this endorsement. 75 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:52,000 And they're really more negative than Condon himself, if anything. I say that is going to come on the loose on 2101 Constitution Avenue Northwest and it'll be a check on the Academy will be have very great difficulty chasing off the Academy steps. 76 00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:55,000 That's a prediction which you can put me down for. 77 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:05,000 The damage I think is greatly compounded by the strong Academy recommendations. Who did this? Who was it? I haven't remembered the Academy. Well, no. 78 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:11,000 11 Academy members and this is a rare panel when you get all Academy full Academy members on a panel. 79 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:17,000 I'm on a National Academy panel, but I'm not a member of the Academy myself. 80 00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:24,000 But all the members of this 119 committee are full Academy members and I'm very prestigious that has great killing power. 81 00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:35,000 The editors read the New York Times read the Washington Star, the star, for example, is certainly charming editorial in the last month about the terrific at all that nonsense. 82 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:44,000 The star said that now we won't hear anymore about UFOs except from those few borderline dailies who will never shut up. 83 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,000 I understand when the Academy comes down with all that approval. That's all you can expect. 84 00:15:53,000 --> 00:16:11,000 Well, I believe that with the Academy endorsement of the current report and all of the editorial nodding of heads that no progress will come now until adequate scientific of the common report is introduced into scientific channels. 85 00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:19,000 And that's where all of my effort is going. And that's why I change my topic to primary emphasis on the common report. 86 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:28,000 The AIAA, as some of you may know, has appointed a U.S. O. Subcommittee headed by Dr. Yoke Kutner at ESSA, about 10 or 11 members. 87 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:34,000 And in the December issue of your journal, they would make their first brief report. 88 00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:43,000 And their recommendation, if you read it, is cautious and reserved by, again, 180 degrees away from the common recommendations. 89 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:55,000 The Kutner committee points out that it has not received adequate quantitative attention and it warrants more attention from AIAA and they are giving it more attention. 90 00:16:55,000 --> 00:17:06,000 And I talked with the two of the members, including Kutner, just last week in Washington, and they're preparing for AIAA journal preparation, a kind of a book review of this report. 91 00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,000 And I find they are not entirely in disagreement with me by any means. 92 00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:24,000 Well, now the common report. Why is it that I have such strong, and you don't have to say again that those were strong objections, as I put on record with you, about this common report? 93 00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:32,000 I don't think the kind of comments that I and AIAA are at all typical of one scientist describing another piece of scientific work. 94 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:38,000 By no means do I go around making statements like that on a casual basis. 95 00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:42,000 But I'm prepared to send those strong words. 96 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:52,000 First of all, there are only, in this report, there are only 90 cases discussed, in anything like a detailed law. 97 00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:56,000 That might seem to you like a lot of cases, but that does not drop in the bucket. 98 00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:03,000 The book has 12,000 cases on file. I have checked several hundred on a two-pronged basis. 99 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:13,000 I did not have half a million dollars to do it, but I've managed in the about the same time as the common committee was in adjustments to check several hundred cases. 100 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,000 So there is one objection right off about only 90 cases. 101 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:22,000 Now the second, I'm going to just take all these main points and then get down to some details. 102 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:25,000 There are many weak or curvil cases of such a relevance. 103 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:33,000 I would never waste any time on the Hulks balloon cases or somebody saying a meteor, one or two outright crackpot cases. 104 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:37,000 Now these dilute that sample of 90 in an undesirable way. 105 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:43,000 Common and group, and as a group, sort of looked only at the really puzzling cases because that was their charge. 106 00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:49,000 Let's find adequate scientific explanations for the real puzzlers, the classic cases. 107 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:59,000 And that leaves me to my third main point. Some of the most puzzling classics of the U.S. old history are conspicuously absent from that sample of 90. 108 00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:08,000 In fact, there are some few there that you can take these off on your hands and toes very quickly. 109 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000 Very few are the really famous classics. 110 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:17,000 Furthermore, there are cases that they did investigate, which are not in there and should be. 111 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:21,000 And I think I'll tell you about one because it's not so far away from here. 112 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:25,000 Redmond, California, February 4th of this last year, 1968. 113 00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:27,000 I'll return to that in a moment. 114 00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:30,000 There are going to be Colorado investigators who are on the case. 115 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000 They got into general, it is not there. 116 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:37,000 I and others, three professors at the University of Redmond, regard that as quite a significant case. 117 00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:39,000 Let me come back to that a bit later. 118 00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:42,000 There are other examples of missing cases. 119 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:46,000 It's better to film there and this is really the crux of the whole thing. 120 00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:52,000 There is a great deal of specious argumentation, weak, dubious argumentation. 121 00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:58,000 And to defend that, you definitely have to get down to cases by just passing over that as a major point. 122 00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000 But let me come back to examples. 123 00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,000 First, there is a great deal of incomplete reporting of cases. 124 00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:11,000 Cases about which I have a big deal of knowledge where I have also investigated in some cases and interviewed more witnesses than they have. 125 00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,000 That was an Massachusetts case, a very interesting Air Force B-47 case that I'll tell you about. 126 00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:20,000 They, my mom and I tell the reader all the relevant facts. 127 00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000 And I don't know whether they just got tired or what is involved. 128 00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000 But anyway, you do not get by any means the full flavor of many of those cases in there. 129 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000 Incomplete case reporting. 130 00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:36,000 In some cases, borders on misrepresentation of the facts. 131 00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:43,000 There's a great deal of irrelevant padding that I count the case counter indicates about a per this deal with UFO cases. 132 00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:46,000 There are about two thirds of various kinds of sort of secondary. 133 00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000 Some of it makes good rating. 134 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:54,000 But a great deal of it is just like somebody writing a text to a new apology or something that's not something kind of a book that might sell. 135 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000 And I guess it's selling. 136 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000 But that wasn't the problem. 137 00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:01,000 The problem was the clause with these cases to get right down to scientific details. 138 00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:12,000 No need for irrelevant discussion of all the nuts which exist in California on this problem, but in many places. 139 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:19,000 The next main point in here is one that's a central point and we don't have to argue at all about this. 140 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:22,000 There are in that near sample of 90. 141 00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:29,000 If you look in the index under sightings comma unexplained, there are 27 listed there. 142 00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:34,000 There are five others that aren't even listed in the index that are considered to be unexplained. 143 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000 That's a third of the sample. 144 00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:44,000 And some of these cases knocked your eye out like anything in the wrap case and this Texas B-47 case. 145 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:52,000 Among the unexplained cases are some really, really significant cases, kind of the Paris subject, which is one that works well for believing me. 146 00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:03,000 I mean, never have I seen the scientific report the contents of which has so little match with the summary recommendations made by the investigator. 147 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:13,000 Now, this is very interesting because there is no evidence that anybody on the project besides Condon saw the summary recommendations. 148 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:19,000 Apparently it's signed by Condon and the there's no indication yet that anybody else saw that. 149 00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000 That's not I can't turn up around and say that nobody did. 150 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,000 But so far it appears to be just kind of the user of the first person pearl. 151 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:31,000 It's as we read, but it sounds like everybody. 152 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:37,000 And it is on the third kind of now that could easily lead us off into a very pertinent part of the total problem. 153 00:22:37,000 --> 00:22:38,000 How could this happen? 154 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:41,000 What is the history of this unusual project? 155 00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,000 If you want to get some insights into that, I reiterate the recommendation. 156 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:59,000 Dr. J. Heineck, who has for 19 years been the Air Force Scientific Consultant on UFOs and only in the last two of those switched his position from rather casual. 157 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000 Playing down with the problem to very real concern. 158 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:09,000 He's not as far out on this problem as I am, but definitely urging a greatly increased study. 159 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:18,000 I have comment was when people asked him about reading the common report, he is going to say, and I quote him, to understand the common report. 160 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000 You have to read two books. 161 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:25,000 So the common report and the book by Harkins and by a funders and Harkins UFOs. 162 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Yes, another paperback. 163 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:33,000 I don't didn't bring my copy along, but it's the inside story of what went on in that unbelievable project. 164 00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:46,000 And I claim to you the purchase of a song is Harkins book and the answer to some of the questions that are raised by by this peculiarness that's between common recommendations of the contents. 165 00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:52,000 13 or 20 really good unexplained in the total of about 32 conceitedly unexplained in the sample of 90. 166 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:55,000 And Condon says, nothing here further interest. 167 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000 No, no scientific problem. 168 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000 Google can be dropped in school. 169 00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:04,000 So we shouldn't be allowed to read the books just to make sure it's. 170 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:08,000 The report does make a final comment does have a few bright spots. 171 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:20,000 There is some good work in it, particularly the photographic analysis by Hartman and air section on possible instrumentation design for extended studies is quite business like and well done. 172 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:30,000 And one or two other sections that are secondary to the main problem are reasonably done and some of the case investigations met applause, but well received. 173 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:34,000 OK, that's not a quick run down. 174 00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:39,000 I've now I've not told you where I stand with respect to the problem. 175 00:24:39,000 --> 00:24:55,000 You've got my hope or impression that I take the problem very seriously and I have given you summary comments at least so far about the kind of rejections I hold with respect to the common report. 176 00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:58,000 Now, let's let's let's get into some cases. 177 00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:01,000 Let me just bring one close to home. 178 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:04,000 Let's look at that lettering case. 179 00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:07,000 So much to be said here. 180 00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:12,000 And it's more than you can cover in 45 minutes. 181 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:20,000 So much to take case after case to discuss the credentials of the witnesses discussed the all possible explanation that takes time. 182 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000 The case is usually talking about it. 183 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:28,000 Not to be possible to review it in 20 minutes, but the one doesn't have this kind of time. 184 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:43,000 So I compressed and eliminate some points here now, but then February 4th and 68 in redlands 715 in the evening last year year, what 10 days ago. 185 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:59,000 Person in the residential area up in the north west side of redland heard the noise and a lot of barking of dogs up and down the street and out they went and pretty soon the streets are some different streets were full of people who are looking at an object overhead. 186 00:25:59,000 --> 00:26:07,000 The estimates given by many of them started around a few hundred feet out of duty for the object and this later checked by crew triangulation. 187 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,000 Some of the witnesses, about 30 witnesses were interviewed by three professors at the University of Redlands. 188 00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:16,000 Dr. Paul Steph was the leader of the group. 189 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000 They got tired after interviewing that many and didn't have to pursue the bro. 190 00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:24,000 I've interviewed about six or seven personally myself. 191 00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:39,000 These are these persons are saw a bit by the blackboard it's got to about this kind of dislike object with something resembling parts or windows or luminous panels or something around the top and something. 192 00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,000 Some things that were described. 193 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:48,000 Absolutely perhaps a lot of people have liked that the bottom of the object is hovering with the time they got outside. 194 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:59,000 No appreciable noise and definitely not helicopter recording many of the other one of the witnesses and police officer and other persons or former Navy. 195 00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:05,000 And a lot of the people saw this thing and some directions and they've been trying to get about standard speed up. 196 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Some people line it up with a telephone pole and that sort of thing to which corner of the house is the guy and signal. 197 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:16,000 It heard for a minute or two most most famous straight up to about the height. 198 00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000 More mission was a plane. 199 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:23,000 It's what's straight up to an estimated double height still over this red dyslorea. 200 00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:26,000 I read again and then what more people are doing. 201 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:32,000 All witnesses agree that it moved in a kind of a dirty fashion to what was estimated about six blocks northeast. 202 00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:38,000 I went again and then saw a very high speed out to the north over the general vicinity of the. 203 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:42,000 The catch with the radar nobody saw them radar. 204 00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:47,000 Unfortunately, March is across the hills and it was too low to be in the radar. 205 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000 A little pattern from March and importantly no radar functioning at Martin that night. 206 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000 They are the 25 witnesses. 207 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000 Urban area. 208 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:07,000 Fighting machine like if there's not this hard to use word machine like craft like those are very good word but structure. 209 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000 That's the the common analogy of this. 210 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000 The airport investigation was narrow. 211 00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:21,000 The past interest was a running story and the red and black heroes is fighting in an American city. 212 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:29,000 We have a lot of witnesses and the local papers and this problem has grown so far down here that that's what we've got. 213 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000 We have a running start. 214 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:32,000 That's got it. 215 00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000 They asked the paper to put a piece of requesting for the witnesses. 216 00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,000 They got about six inches of six colleges and it was looked at by the Air Force. 217 00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:49,000 They claim finding it was a light plane that was landing and the Redmond University of Texas check. 218 00:28:49,000 --> 00:28:57,000 They found that the only plane that was landing at that time had landed by the time was well pinned down for television programming reasons. 219 00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:02,000 A lot of people who what program they were stepping out from when they saw this and these planes had landed. 220 00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:07,000 They also came from the wrong side of town yet that was the extent of the Air Force investigation. 221 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:18,000 Colorado sent that air out and did gather material on it yet that case investigated within the common project occurring within the active light of the project. 222 00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000 A significant case is not to be found in the common report. 223 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000 Why not? 224 00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:29,000 Why should there be a report on a predicted landing of a new. 225 00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000 This is a case in the common report case 43 or something. 226 00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:37,000 Somebody in California had had on what time we fire like California. 227 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:46,000 Someone out here contacted Conan said he was in telepathic communications with the spaceman and a landing would be made on the 11 o'clock. 228 00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:49,000 April 15th of 67. 229 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:50,000 Not a real shot. 230 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,000 Slats and I would have been in a hurry to hang the phone up. 231 00:29:55,000 --> 00:29:59,000 Conan said an investigator up there and that's a case that's discussed with the. 232 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:02,000 Why are the Redmond when you talk about nets like that? 233 00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000 Okay. 234 00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000 Now let's take another case that's not in there. 235 00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000 A famous case. 236 00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,000 One of the classic cases. 237 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:10,000 A significant case. 238 00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:14,000 In case scientifically very interesting and represented. 239 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000 The whole class of places involved in car stopping. 240 00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,000 This is level in Texas November 2nd of 57. 241 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:26,000 Headline news. 242 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:34,000 And I thought the two or three days half life of journalistic interest and the Air Force said it was all 18 wedding missions. 243 00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000 It was forgotten like the rest. 244 00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:45,000 Nine vehicles suffered engine failure and lights out when they came here or were passed by. 245 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:46,000 One or more. 246 00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:58,000 It's not clear whether this is one thing going around or several objects generally described as 100 to 200 feet long growing red or blueish red in this. 247 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000 Panhandle town of Texas. 248 00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000 We're in about a 10 mile radius of the town and we've been about an hour and a half period near midnight November 2nd and 3rd of 1957. 249 00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:09,000 Okay. 250 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:11,000 There's one of the classic cases. 251 00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:14,000 I urge the common report to check the night cap. 252 00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000 Put it on its list on the common report to common committee. 253 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000 I asked for suggested cases. 254 00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:21,000 They had it on their list. 255 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:22,000 I had it in mind. 256 00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000 They in fact investigated. 257 00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:35,000 One of the two men that come and fired in that interesting blow up of which I very much in the middle back in February of last year for further details. 258 00:31:35,000 --> 00:31:36,000 He was on this Arkans book. 259 00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000 Saunders is the other one who's fired. 260 00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:39,000 That's her psychology. 261 00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:52,000 Dr. Levine, an electrical engineer began to do what he was still before his fire was doing investigation on level and got from Texas A&M all the way to our film for that day and confirmed with that radar film. 262 00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:01,000 What I had already found by a separate meteorological analysis that wasn't any sign of thunderstorm activity anywhere in that area. 263 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000 And I wish I had slides. 264 00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:18,000 One of the slides I would have showed you was the same map that I showed general Cookshank up with light Patterson to get across the general Cookshank who's on top of the book and that here's the trouble for the other projects in the foreign technology division. 265 00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000 He's no longer there now, by the way. 266 00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:39,000 The interesting about this water map, gentlemen, is that here is this famous case, which is explained as ball lightning from the severe thunderstorm activity and wet ignitions, flooding out these nine cars, each of which had no trouble at all starting its wet ignition system right after the glowing object with the ball lightning left. 267 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,000 But you look at the weather map, great big high pushed down over Texas. 268 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:44,000 Not a ghost of a chance. 269 00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:49,000 So any lightning activity or any to look at this weather map to see it. 270 00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:51,000 I looked at that I was quite stunned ever. 271 00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:56,000 This was very early in the game when I was checking the case out in 1966. 272 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:03,000 And I mean, you went to the Texas weather data and our files at the Institute and no rain anywhere level in that night. 273 00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000 No thunderstorm activity. 274 00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:06,000 Big high. 275 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:09,000 And yet the efforts United States Air Force said they're still the same. 276 00:33:09,000 --> 00:33:11,000 Letting missions and ball lightning. 277 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:12,000 Normal name. 278 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:19,000 Now we're the project control common fire gun got an anti Texas and a radar for no radar echoes anywhere in the area. 279 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:23,000 That case significant classic case, not in the coming report. 280 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:24,000 Why not? 281 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:25,000 Why it's sparing. 282 00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:26,000 Super coming pages. 283 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000 As it was for bad. 284 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000 Analyzing the detail a folks brand. 285 00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000 First. 286 00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:35,000 You know, 1967. 287 00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000 When they don't talk about London. 288 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000 Very, very. 289 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000 I would say. 290 00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:43,000 Let's go. 291 00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:44,000 Let's go. 292 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000 I could discuss more. 293 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:50,000 Let's get on to some examples of week argumentation. 294 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,000 An interesting case. 295 00:33:53,000 --> 00:33:55,000 There are some classic cases. 296 00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:59,000 Some of the real problems in there and the section done by Gordon there. 297 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,000 But that's where the bulk of the bad argumentation line is in there. 298 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,000 Three chapter five. 299 00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:09,000 One piece of 10 inches argumentation after another. 300 00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:20,000 The number of probably parents appears to be seems to be that you find in that section ought to be all from tale to tale and the phone or a kite over the builder or something like that. 301 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000 The B.C. 302 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000 The case of June 20. 303 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000 Night 1954. 304 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000 Classic case. 305 00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:32,000 It occurred near Southern Islands. 306 00:34:32,000 --> 00:34:34,000 In St. Lawrence. 307 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,000 B.C. did a documentary on UFOs some months ago. 308 00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:40,000 And I just took three days ago. 309 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,000 Finally got the tape of the audio of that. 310 00:34:42,000 --> 00:34:46,000 And the one reason I wanted to get the audio was the producer. 311 00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:48,000 Located. 312 00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:49,000 James hard. 313 00:34:49,000 --> 00:34:50,000 James hard. 314 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:52,000 I'm not a star. 315 00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:53,000 I have interviewed him. 316 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:58,000 So this was the next best thing to getting to London interviewing myself. 317 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:00,000 I'm trying to get further information by mail. 318 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:01,000 Captain hard. 319 00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:03,000 Very interesting case. 320 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:06,000 And I just mentioned that Captain Howard. 321 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:09,000 My only been sent to Siberia. 322 00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000 Seeing the UFO. 323 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:19,000 The B.C. people told me a year ago that when the Concord is blown, you might put an if the counter for this phone. 324 00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:21,000 That will be Captain Howard. 325 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:25,000 That speech was for the credentials this pilot had. 326 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:27,000 James hard. 327 00:35:27,000 --> 00:35:29,000 And find the cockpit crew. 328 00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:33,000 Saw the objects independently of the passengers. 329 00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:40,000 The spiritist finally was asked by the passengers to go ask the flight deck people along one of the lines. 330 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:44,000 And when she came in the door, she found all the flight deck people in there and knows it was blown to the window. 331 00:35:44,000 --> 00:35:47,000 Looking at one of our objects and six objects. 332 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:53,000 That had according to description, they're out of the cops of the deck of Sturdy Q below. 333 00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:55,000 They were 19,000 feet. 334 00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,000 We're about 300 knots north or eastbound to England from from New York. 335 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:02,000 Thank you. 336 00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:14,000 They seem to be these objects bring it out of the clouds and they climbed up to the outskirts and then the small objects which were dark and seem to be sort of very long. 337 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:21,000 Get it back and forth and the main thing to odd formation, sometimes we'll all have some friends above and below of this big object. 338 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:31,000 And the big object appeared to change shape during the eight and it's many miles that it takes the center cruiser towards do stay. 339 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:38,000 I have to give you all the tales and call for a fighter and the the objects left just before the 86 came out. 340 00:36:39,000 --> 00:36:45,000 The the the the the location of the store. 341 00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,000 I guess they're a lot of kids now. 342 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:53,000 I think but see what on the program and I had the pleasure of hearing directly. 343 00:36:53,000 --> 00:37:01,000 That is the direct interview just a couple of weeks ago and now trying to get further into the hottest, hottest time in his group explain this. 344 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:07,000 It's very interesting to find the. 345 00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:10,000 Copy it out. 346 00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:13,000 But he's probably one thing or another. 347 00:37:13,000 --> 00:37:20,000 But in the midst of looking for the final answer, the Alice suggests the main distance that occurs. 348 00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:25,000 And looking for some explanation of the optical. 349 00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:28,000 They think are involved. 350 00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:35,000 The animal is perhaps the shock wave created the optical effects. 351 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000 Well, that's the the dispensary. 352 00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:42,000 That goes on to the optical effect. 353 00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:46,000 The horizon. 354 00:37:46,000 --> 00:37:53,000 You can go on a discussion and I have just finished computing the dip angle for the horizon from any of them. 355 00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:59,000 I hate arbitrary real or cloud produced horizons. 356 00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:09,000 It is very simple computation and physical optics and the pilot emphasized that the object is first thing below and estimated a few miles away. 357 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:12,000 We were very tender about that. 358 00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:17,000 And evidently, this is why I'm writing to Howard and what were those angles to that opportunity. 359 00:38:17,000 --> 00:38:22,000 There's anything more than about half a degree below the horizon. 360 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,000 In a fair, not a chance of refraction producing this for quite definite optical reason. 361 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:33,000 Well, that's what the leader is apparently not good at the closing seconds. 362 00:38:33,000 --> 00:38:35,000 It is just charming. 363 00:38:35,000 --> 00:38:49,000 This unusual sighting should therefore be assigned by reading the government report to the category of some almost certainly natural phenomenon, which is so rare that it apparently has never been reported before or since. 364 00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:56,000 You can't explain where those are. 365 00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000 I know somebody who's been doing that for 20 years. 366 00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000 You might say that's no better than what we were getting out of the book. 367 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:16,000 If we can't get a scientific group that will improve on the project, we will probably have for many years consisted of a secretary of science and law. 368 00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:26,000 Typically a major sometimes is a captain. The major recently made the tenant kind of and just outrageous explanations coming out of the book. 369 00:39:26,000 --> 00:39:32,000 And many of these in this report are not very much very much better. 370 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:36,000 Well, I could I could cite many more examples of regard. 371 00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:39,000 You know, that's a lot in the summer, 10 to 52. 372 00:39:39,000 --> 00:39:48,000 This is the case that I was but I expressed in my testimony before the House Committee on Science and Astronautics in July. 373 00:39:48,000 --> 00:39:50,000 By the way, you haven't seen that. 374 00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:54,000 You have to get it involved in that. 375 00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:06,000 I think it was in the air about 15 minutes trying to close with this large object with two red lights coming out of windows. 376 00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:08,000 This is the phrase you find in the window. 377 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:13,000 I think it's a very good idea to have the window in close but some kind of opening. 378 00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:16,000 I see the F-94. 379 00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,000 They had to wrap the F-94 up tight to avoid closing on it. 380 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:30,000 It would course the motions to describe in the report and very very radical overs 15 minutes and do by red lights. 381 00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:31,000 How do they explain that? 382 00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:40,000 I want to try to read you to the bottom but it says this is typical of the appearance of a pilot balloon or a leather balloon when seen by an experienced personnel. 383 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:43,000 The pilot is bigger than any known aircraft. 384 00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:47,000 They spent 15 minutes and that's 94 trying to close with leather balloon. 385 00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,000 Two red lights. 386 00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:58,000 So that's that is that's an example of an Air Force radar station in the middle of a vibe January 26th of 1952. 387 00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:00,000 The radar is right. 388 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,000 It was around for a couple of minutes. 389 00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,000 The details of the first step in the air with my finger. 390 00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:13,000 The first thing is a light and the tech radar unknown about 10 miles away. 391 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:14,000 It went through our search together. 392 00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:15,000 Very involved. 393 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:17,000 How about 10 miles? 394 00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:22,000 I think it was 18 miles west then north without talking miles and then down this way. 395 00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000 It was very close. 396 00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:29,000 10 miles away naked eye and a good song radar. 397 00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:31,000 I could explain as a pilot balloon again. 398 00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:37,000 Now, the only thing that has any radar construction upon a pilot balloon is one nighttime observation. 399 00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,000 There's a video. 400 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:41,000 I didn't want to go to the other. 401 00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000 I was there. 402 00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:47,000 It's all wrapped up. 403 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:52,000 The word is hang on string and it's the one candle car light and it's got some money. 404 00:41:52,000 --> 00:41:53,000 And it's four hours. 405 00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:59,000 Not the 510 square centimeters of radar cross section at the most number of nights by radar standards. 406 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:06,000 And this thing to be seen is a naked eye and then said metric calculation for about 10,000 feet about two miles. 407 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:13,000 And the funny is the funny path that I went through in the air. 408 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000 This is recorded in the counter report. 409 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,000 This is explained as the limit mode. 410 00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:24,000 I know which to make the explanation go. 411 00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:29,000 They must have been one hour late because it's about an hour and a half after standard time. 412 00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:35,000 They have to say that it developed late because here it is down at estimated 2000. 413 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:38,000 You about rain and they could see it. 414 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:39,000 And this is correct. 415 00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:44,000 I checked the file that it went to 15,000 feet and then burst. 416 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:48,000 But they said in the first must have gotten leaking came down. 417 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:50,000 Then they said there was a level scale. 418 00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,000 No meteorologist. 419 00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:53,000 I mean, all that. 420 00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:55,000 I don't think the counting report does. 421 00:42:55,000 --> 00:42:56,000 That's a scale. 422 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:00,000 Well, you look at the other map, you know, the people who doesn't scale low or very late. 423 00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:03,000 I want to have a little scale low. 424 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:11,000 Make a parallel that is about to leak and is an hour and a half late to go through this kind of a little bit. 425 00:43:11,000 --> 00:43:18,000 But kind of a pilot like you can be 10 miles away and have radar cross section to show up at some 20 miles. 426 00:43:18,000 --> 00:43:19,000 Just go. 427 00:43:19,000 --> 00:43:22,000 I got the five and five was not late. 428 00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:26,000 The pilot was at least a little on time versus 15,000 feet. 429 00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:28,000 And that explanation is just money. 430 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,000 That's typical of the species or even taking a little bar in the county board. 431 00:43:33,000 --> 00:43:35,000 And I would only be beginning. 432 00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:39,000 But let me let me continue with the employer. 433 00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:42,000 Let's I could try getting complete case reporting. 434 00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000 But. 435 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:49,000 And the case is, well, are you the only notion of what's really involved in the case? 436 00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:54,000 And let me let me tie two things together by telling you a really interesting report. 437 00:43:54,000 --> 00:43:56,000 I've never heard of it before. 438 00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:59,000 But I never saw the details. 439 00:43:59,000 --> 00:44:02,000 I read before I got my copy of the common report. 440 00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:04,000 It also says incomplete case reporting. 441 00:44:04,000 --> 00:44:08,000 And it also says unexplained. 442 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:13,000 In the common report that is cases which are considered today unexplained. 443 00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:24,000 And which Dr. Collins turns away and say, let's forget about all this nonsense and use cool kids ought not get credit for reading about anything like this. 444 00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:32,000 Now, this is a B 47 over the Louisiana, Texas area, September 19th of 1957. 445 00:44:32,000 --> 00:44:36,000 They come in the park, interviewed spirit a crew. 446 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:41,000 I have interviewed all six of the crew since getting the time report. 447 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:43,000 I've taken the building to find some of these people. 448 00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:50,000 One of them was a lot but one just got back from Vietnam is up at Vanberg to our auto service. 449 00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,000 One is retired and up in Spokane. 450 00:44:52,000 --> 00:44:59,000 I look at it all six, six because it was not before the seven with the ECM gear board and that figures largely in this instance. 451 00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:02,000 The ECM gear of our before the seven. 452 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:08,000 You get the impression believing this is case five, case five and the kind of work I think you might agree. 453 00:45:08,000 --> 00:45:14,000 First, you get the impression all of her around Fort Worth, maybe let me interject a comment. 454 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,000 So the 59 name, name cases, they don't give date, location or names of witnesses. 455 00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:31,000 Very bothersome to check the scientific material where the principal record doesn't give your name is date or locations above all of your time to check whether they know how you've been doing. 456 00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:43,000 It happens that many of these cases are already know about but some might still have a pin down and you would never know from this particular discussion what a real case this is. 457 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,000 So that really began down there. 458 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000 The recipient really ended up in Oklahoma. 459 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:53,000 The UFO was witness 47 for a distance of over 600 miles and over an hour. 460 00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:00,000 The general impression of UFOs are flashes of light that people see negative after images or something like that. 461 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:03,000 You can't expect them to be sure. 462 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:05,000 This involves a lot of detail. 463 00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:13,000 The ECM operator on number two radar, among others, maybe in the floor is now at Austin, of course, based on the service. 464 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:26,000 There's a present as they came off the gulf northbound over at Gulfwark to get a signal of 2800 megacycles from an apparent source on the starboard tail of the thing. 465 00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:33,000 There's a blot over the gulf which wasn't quite obvious to me right, but anyway, you do get the noise. 466 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:35,000 They build the one sort of gulf. 467 00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000 So it's a pretty valid radar signal coming in. 468 00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000 It was post-clarer when I asked them. 469 00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:49,000 They said yes, it had even a PRF that was like a valid R and it had a little bit of like a sweet frequency to it. 470 00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:52,000 So it's like a valid ground signal. 471 00:46:52,000 --> 00:47:03,000 But on his monitor, now, my mind is, in this part of the report, I was in the discussion, I am not talking, I am not talking about an airborne radar set. 472 00:47:03,000 --> 00:47:05,000 The following signal is often unknown. 473 00:47:05,000 --> 00:47:13,000 I am talking about a passive receiver, CM-DEAR, that is designed to listen to the enemy radar, get bearings on it, and prepare the jam. 474 00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:14,000 You get the picture. 475 00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,000 This passive reception of a signal comes from source. 476 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:19,000 That's what I'm going to be talking about. 477 00:47:19,000 --> 00:47:20,000 So much of this account. 478 00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,000 Very, very problem as you will sense. 479 00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,000 The thing that began to play in the course of the victory was not that it was off the gulf, 480 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,000 but the tip on the start began to move up, up, up, down, down, down, down. 481 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:39,000 Now, you have nothing to be at, nothing to direction on this particular, you don't know range, you know, sort of, be out to three. 482 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:49,000 But it moved up as if there were a ground radar set moving faster than the B-47, which was at 35,000 during 6 for about 550 knots. 483 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,000 And this course seemed to be going up slowly. 484 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:53,000 You got me? 485 00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:55,000 Now, that could be a noise signal. 486 00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,000 But it went around. 487 00:47:57,000 --> 00:48:04,000 And it could be that it could be that it was really moving down, but he had a hundred and eighty degree ambiguity and it was painting 180. 488 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,000 Everything do happen is wrong. 489 00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:09,000 The radar is full of serious, solid registers of human eyes. 490 00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:10,000 Then we had a course. 491 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000 The guy in 47 came down the other side. 492 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,000 He's maybe ruled out the hundred and eighty degree ambiguity. 493 00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:24,000 Macquarie said he was so bothered by this that he didn't, he thought it must be something in the step that they haven't worked in the other stations yet. 494 00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:28,000 And he's just saying he's a cosmic true just during this part of the run. 495 00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:32,000 I didn't say anything to the other lead that we all have already said about. 496 00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:34,000 That was the one I've talked to. 497 00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,000 And probably what has never been mentioned that he would have forgotten had except. 498 00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,000 They went to Jackson and headed the west over Jackson. 499 00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,000 The whole thing is at 35,000 until the very end. 500 00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,000 And starting after heading west towards Fort Worth, this was about 47 out of Forbes, at first base. 501 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000 They were going to Fort Worth and north to Fort Worth in Kansas. 502 00:48:56,000 --> 00:49:05,000 The next thing really began to warm up when the pilot, the co-face suddenly saw coming in on a near collision course, 11 o'clock do-in. 503 00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:07,000 A bright light was lit to him. 504 00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:11,000 He said, momentarily, it looked to him like landing lights with a jet. 505 00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:15,000 And he got on the intercom and he was, you know, worried about you being prepared for something. 506 00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,000 He looked at you and thought he was going to have to create a vein. 507 00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:27,000 But before anything else could occur, this light, which is all the way here so far, coming dead in and getting larger suddenly. 508 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:33,000 And he said that Angel Rossi's fire beyond the capability of anything that he knows of went from 11 o'clock to 2 o'clock. 509 00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:37,000 It just shot across like that and it burnt out. 510 00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,000 And now it's not limitless and not part of it. 511 00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:44,000 It's limitless coming in, wait a little, 2 o'clock and out. 512 00:49:44,000 --> 00:50:02,000 And then Major Collide, the co-pilot began kind of joking about maybe they saw flying saucer on the intercom and the crew back on the number two monitor had been with to turn back to 2,500 megacycles having just been puzzling 10 minutes before or in Mississippi. 513 00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:15,000 So, you know, right from the signal from the proctovish, the counter report, all of this, you're not telling the counter report that they began in Gulfport. 514 00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:17,000 There's no comment at all about that part. 515 00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:24,000 But now some of this is now in the counter report and if Conner has read the report, he must have seen this next time. 516 00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:30,000 So they began to find one thing or another to get rid of this to, you know, to shake it. 517 00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,000 Speed variations is going straight at 2 o'clock. 518 00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:45,000 They were by then getting into the VCI ground radar coverage of Fort Worth quite well and taste regular to see if they're painting unknown and they were. 519 00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:51,000 So there's no 10 miles on your 10 miles away at your 2 o'clock position. 520 00:50:51,000 --> 00:50:56,000 Here's the heaters and the fireball by IFS and the other no IFS. 521 00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:58,000 Okay, now they're not even going to be worried. 522 00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:01,000 Here, the thing has been staying with him. 523 00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:15,000 Here in 600 knots flight and the apparent of a ground radar that has been flying with them for some 10 minutes and quite a few miles and it's painting on radar. 524 00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000 So the question is what to do next. 525 00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000 But it was followed by the UFO, you might say. 526 00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:30,000 The next thing that happened was before it started to gain the move forward on my scope and the VCI radar and how quite independent because they were hearing per said it's being in the move. 527 00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,000 Very non-nivety, non-nivety at this point. 528 00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000 Move forward to bed ahead. 529 00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:42,000 Those motions appeared on the number two monitor, LA 6 and 8 ones and GTI painted. 530 00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:48,000 So I got bed ahead on to the very bright red light in the 12 o'clock position. 531 00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:54,000 The pilot decided to try to pull over it and went to pull along the tower. 532 00:51:54,000 --> 00:52:03,000 But it just stayed at the distance that the ground radar was saying was a little bit more than 10 miles and they couldn't put any plans on it. 533 00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:07,000 All of a sudden it began to veer north, westward. 534 00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000 Again, right now this is just an economy board. 535 00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:13,000 You have the impression that it's a small, something that's curved over the board. 536 00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,000 But it went up between Dallas and Fort Worth. 537 00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:25,000 They said he got the curse from the FAA to clear all traffic out of the area and he got a power trying to close this thing. 538 00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,000 All of a sudden he stopped to stop closure rate. 539 00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:32,000 The VCI radar said it stopped. 540 00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:34,000 Here's the stationary echo. 541 00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:36,000 He was getting the ECM received. 542 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:42,000 They're going red and he didn't know what his altitude was and he passed all over. 543 00:52:42,000 --> 00:52:44,000 He said and it went down. 544 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,000 It went down visually. 545 00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:52,000 The ECM signal disappeared from the course monitor and it disappeared on DCI cargo. 546 00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000 All simultaneously. 547 00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:59,000 They put the hang into a turn now getting more than casual interested. 548 00:52:59,000 --> 00:53:07,000 The case pointed out took about 20 miles to have for the turn at the speed and look back all the time and halfway through the time. 549 00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:10,000 Now it was nearly lost at this moment. 550 00:53:10,000 --> 00:53:23,000 All of a sudden on the red light signal appeared on the DCI scope and out of a direction and on the ECM and the DCI radar said it's back on the scope position next. 551 00:53:23,000 --> 00:53:33,000 There were questions for the dial which I suppose if anybody knew about this case or maybe he's got some kind of a matter or maybe the court march or something. 552 00:53:33,000 --> 00:53:42,000 He elected to die in his V47 headbid and that down to 20,000 and the DCI was telling me they were closing to five miles and all of a sudden it worked out. 553 00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,000 This appeared to be DCI ECM signal going. 554 00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,000 He was getting low on gas. 555 00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:52,000 He used the momentum of the dial to pull back to 25 to head north. 556 00:53:52,000 --> 00:53:56,000 Better get to paying more and here again you don't get this from the county report. 557 00:53:56,000 --> 00:54:05,000 They say not having lost their in the local area and the people on DCI and they got it and they set it on your tail and found a thing. 558 00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:07,000 The court got ECM signal again. 559 00:54:07,000 --> 00:54:13,000 It was not very good because in the 47 you can't see very well if any of the lawyer on the evidence was now. 560 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:17,000 He estimated when he died that it was somewhere near 15,000 deep burning. 561 00:54:17,000 --> 00:54:21,000 He had got the IHI indications off the ground. 562 00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:25,000 There was no evidence that that doesn't make sense to history. 563 00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,000 It turns out that ABC interrogated them. 564 00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:30,000 There was no evidence in the book. 565 00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:33,000 They found out about a record in pronunciation. 566 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:40,000 So it went off scope and disappeared when they were approaching Oklahoma City. 567 00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:43,000 Well that's an unexplained case in the county. 568 00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000 It's taken me 15 minutes to tell you that. 569 00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:48,000 That's a lot of time by our standards. 570 00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,000 But I hope you can sense that maybe you ought to have a look at this report too. 571 00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:59,000 Then you ought to read the Lincoln and East End of the Case which involves ground radar, airborne radar, ground visual, airborne visual. 572 00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:02,000 And lasted for five or six hours and lost four unknowns. 573 00:55:02,000 --> 00:55:04,000 It's an unexplained economy report. 574 00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:07,000 The finance secretary is still saying something sweet about this. 575 00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:15,000 Read about the case study in the county before Newtok and New York where three different air crews, Albany Control Tower and Boston radar, 576 00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:22,000 are involved in the siting of an object which was between, it was a Mohawk airline, DC-3. 577 00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:24,000 This was a May of 55. 578 00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:29,000 And a DC-3 crew saw the object between them and the other castes. 579 00:55:29,000 --> 00:55:31,000 It was about $4,000 deep. 580 00:55:31,000 --> 00:55:35,000 There's another one of here of the range of a few hundred feet. 581 00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:41,000 They estimated to be about 150 feet across and it looks like no wings nor a tail. 582 00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000 Greenish lights and some sort of daytime observation. 583 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,000 Greenish lights emanating and going past the governmental very high speed. 584 00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:52,000 One is later two other crews from the Bay of Seething. 585 00:55:52,000 --> 00:56:00,000 Albany Control Tower is going by on Victor 5 heading east and Boston radar is coming and going out on Victor 5 pass up to sea. 586 00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:03,000 I'm not explaining to you in the county. 587 00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:04,000 Well, I could do it. 588 00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:09,000 You take me 30 minutes to give you a summary of the Beverly Massachusets case. 589 00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:12,000 I've interviewed 10 witnesses in this case. 590 00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:16,000 The overarching parts of that case are kind of sub-draft. 591 00:56:16,000 --> 00:56:19,000 They're admitted to be unexplained in the report. 592 00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:23,000 They're involved, full frame-tracking by five adults, two police officers. 593 00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:27,000 The Miller-Gill Georgia case that I was in there, it's not explained. 594 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:30,000 I'm talking to Chief Police Miller-Gill Georgia and Lieutenant Beverly Mutter. 595 00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:32,000 I could talk to them and discuss these. 596 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:42,000 But there are some very interesting unexplained which are essentially ignored in the recommendations that the Academy has seconded. 597 00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:44,000 I don't think they read these. 598 00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:50,000 I think if one more of those cases happens all too often and I am being a member of one Academy panel, 599 00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:53,000 I'm not entirely talking through my hat. 600 00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000 This one is the way things can go. 601 00:56:55,000 --> 00:57:00,000 You might test the previous panel who would do a lot more homework than they sometimes do. 602 00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:06,000 But I'm afraid that the fact that one of these 11 members of the panel had any previous contact with the UFO problem, 603 00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:10,000 and it's dominated for what is most about four weeks, 604 00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:15,000 and they only had one meeting together and two meetings together, and here we'd like to go. 605 00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:18,000 I'm afraid it's one of those things that happens every once in a while. 606 00:57:18,000 --> 00:57:22,000 All of our panel, they're always nothing to us, and the confusion is self-evident. 607 00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:24,000 We'll put our stamp on it. 608 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,000 Ed Conn certainly has done a good job on this one. 609 00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:29,000 There's a lot of pages here and a lot of diagrams, 610 00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000 and you can try to see if there's any home read the case or two. 611 00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:35,000 And I think, well, I don't think we'll forget about that one. 612 00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:40,000 I'm afraid, as I said, that there's a chicken that's going to be roasting in Washington 613 00:57:40,000 --> 00:57:43,000 when the stories are cleared up on this one. 614 00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:46,000 Well, to rewind that then, 615 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:52,000 you've heard me say that I think it's $500,000 the worst advice the Air Force has gotten yet. 616 00:57:52,000 --> 00:57:58,000 And I begin to temper my previous proceedings of Air Force mishandling. 617 00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000 I don't change them, but I temper them. 618 00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:06,000 I begin to sense something very clear to me before it comes along kind of subtle in my mind. 619 00:58:06,000 --> 00:58:11,000 All this bad advice, and I reached this decision before I had the color report, 620 00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:21,000 is as undoubtedly played a major factor in making the Air Force gloss over some of these past-sitting cases. 621 00:58:21,000 --> 00:58:27,000 No matter what, there are not really as many Navy cases as Air Force cases, 622 00:58:27,000 --> 00:58:33,000 and I don't think the Navy, well, I guess maybe the number in them, 623 00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:36,000 the Navy is not in as much trouble. 624 00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:38,000 There's a little bit of trouble on this. 625 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:39,000 They don't know it either. 626 00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000 The Air Force doesn't know it either. 627 00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000 But I'm not really a problem with the Air Force again. 628 00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:48,000 This one is just kind of funny, and there's maybe people who can smile at this one anyhow. 629 00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,000 This has been known for a while. 630 00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,000 I didn't check it for a long time, but I was asked by Bob Lawley, 631 00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:58,000 the one who really ran the project up there, unfortunately, 632 00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:03,000 and so far, what I felt were Air Force obfuscations. 633 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:07,000 That is one way or another, with all of this information, 634 00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:10,000 or confusing information, or something like that, 635 00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,000 was involved in a seemingly interesting case. 636 00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:16,000 Connors groups had on-trade check pieces. 637 00:59:16,000 --> 00:59:17,000 They could have gone anywhere. 638 00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000 They had an opportunity to have unprecedented, 639 00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:24,000 and I was the one who wanted to see them check pieces like that, 640 00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,000 or the Red Bluff case, or the Oxford, I think, 57th case, 641 00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:31,000 and a dozen others that I sent them, 642 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:35,000 a very interesting case that Ed was about to talk about tonight. 643 00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:39,000 But this one, I sent in particular on, 644 00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000 there was a pretty much by the time I found it with Bob and then Bob Lawley, 645 00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:44,000 he said, well, no, I said, after all, 646 00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:47,000 Rhode Island is a long ways away. 647 00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:50,000 But my color on that one is that it wasn't any farther, 648 00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:53,000 or well, the perfection wasn't any farther than my telephone, 649 00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:55,000 and I talked to the people involved in this, 650 00:59:55,000 --> 00:59:59,000 but I then located one of the enlisted men, 651 00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:03,000 there were two pieces, and enlisted radar control on, 652 01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:05,000 this was a nighttime radar case. 653 01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:07,000 It doesn't involve any of these, 654 01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:10,000 and it is not in that sense a terribly serious, 655 01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:11,000 the radar middle piece to be put, 656 01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:13,000 but this is a moving print. 657 01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,000 They had been working aircraft, 658 01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:17,000 nothing wrong with the set before, after, 659 01:00:17,000 --> 01:00:20,000 worked landing both before and after. 660 01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,000 There was also a check body, 661 01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:25,000 one of the technicians right away when this thing occurred, 662 01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:27,000 and more recently, he put in a long set, 663 01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:29,000 he's a rather experienced man, 664 01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000 10 and 11 years experienced at the chiefs 665 01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,000 and the enlisted men in such care, 666 01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000 or had their couple of years. 667 01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,000 The paper, the paper was the one he saw first, 668 01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,000 you can see when the first one came on the scope, 669 01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000 he was flabbergasted, 670 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:45,000 turning at high speed out of the southeast, 671 01:00:45,000 --> 01:00:48,000 he made rough complications, 672 01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:50,000 a series of blitzes, 673 01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,000 and they figured out to be around 5,000 miles an hour. 674 01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,000 It came in the southeast to about 10 or 15 miles range, 675 01:00:56,000 --> 01:00:59,000 and went back out on a slightly different avenue. 676 01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:01,000 And when the next thing came on at high speed, 677 01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:03,000 yelling, and the other two men came over 678 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:05,000 and looked over their shoulder. 679 01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:07,000 The next thing came in from a different avenue, 680 01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,000 which is significant, 681 01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000 and came in right into a different distance 682 01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000 and went back on a different avenue, 683 01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:13,000 it was northeast, 684 01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,000 and then a third, in fact, 685 01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:17,000 appeared on this same scope, 686 01:01:17,000 --> 01:01:19,000 coming across on a seat-camp, 687 01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:22,000 not radio, not even a proxy radio. 688 01:01:22,000 --> 01:01:26,000 That's a funny collection of noise in any event. 689 01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:28,000 There wasn't just a person who looked like 690 01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:31,000 anyone was speaking or if they were into whatever. 691 01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:33,000 And that characteristic of the chronic noise, 692 01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:35,000 they handled all the size, 693 01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,000 it was just a good strong echo, 694 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,000 and they compared it to a mobile engine, 695 01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:43,000 maybe a mobile engine, 696 01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:46,000 a mobile power plant, which of course has good cross-section, 697 01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:49,000 a big one, and a very high speed, 698 01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:51,000 and that took a little bit of noise. 699 01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:53,000 Well, the commander of the first court, 700 01:01:53,000 --> 01:01:55,000 he was now in Spain, 701 01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:58,000 made a mistake of releasing this for the other papers. 702 01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000 And it was a few inches in the wild watching the papers. 703 01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:02,000 Well, the mistake was, 704 01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:05,000 he was forgetting Air Force Regulation 200-2, 705 01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:07,000 which had been on the books for many years, 706 01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,000 and required all services to report 707 01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000 any unidentified true-project rubble. 708 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,000 And that's where they all got buried. 709 01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:16,000 And it's been the target of many critics to say, 710 01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:17,000 that's public conspiracy. 711 01:02:17,000 --> 01:02:19,000 I don't think public conspiracy, 712 01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000 just the Air Force and the weather planning handle 713 01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:24,000 was saying and avoiding more bobbling than they already had 714 01:02:24,000 --> 01:02:25,000 in the morning war. 715 01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:27,000 No, that's what's happened. 716 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,000 He got her out and he couldn't walk. 717 01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:31,000 Because the Marine Corps came out, 718 01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:34,000 they just had to release it and went to the PIO. 719 01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:37,000 Sonska, who had some interest in the oil, 720 01:02:37,000 --> 01:02:39,000 wrote a letter to my captain, 721 01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,000 who was in Washington, the Independent Group, 722 01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:42,000 and mail this. 723 01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:44,000 It was in the mail bag, 724 01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,000 and it would have gone out. 725 01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:47,000 But a colonel, 726 01:02:47,000 --> 01:02:48,000 a colleague from Pentagon, 727 01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,000 got on the phone when he read this in the paper 728 01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:53,000 and started tearing out the commander 729 01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,000 for having violated 200-2 and reaching this information. 730 01:02:57,000 --> 01:03:00,000 And this is the letter the commander didn't tell much for. 731 01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:02,000 And then somebody told him, 732 01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,000 it's a good thing that he sent this, 733 01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:05,000 just in the letter to the Air Force group about this. 734 01:03:05,000 --> 01:03:07,000 And he got subspeyan and made him get out of the mail bag 735 01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:08,000 and unfortunately, 736 01:03:08,000 --> 01:03:10,000 the commander, or what did he say? 737 01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:11,000 He said that, 738 01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:12,000 it hadn't gone out. 739 01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,000 He retrieved the letter from the mail bag, 740 01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:15,000 tore it up. 741 01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,000 Not in the end of it. 742 01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:18,000 But the Pentagon, 743 01:03:18,000 --> 01:03:20,000 the Air Force, said that 744 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:22,000 they had sent a letter to the police 745 01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:24,000 about five days later and said 746 01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,000 that no visit to the production, 747 01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:28,000 no checking of the set, 748 01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:30,000 no investigation into the prevention of these, 749 01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:32,000 the two teams from the list men, 750 01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:34,000 said that an experienced operator 751 01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:36,000 in a malfunctioning set had been responsible 752 01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:37,000 for this under-identified. 753 01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:39,000 But that made the commander mad. 754 01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:41,000 And he got subspept, 755 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:42,000 got all the subspeeds, 756 01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:43,000 and said, 757 01:03:43,000 --> 01:03:44,000 go and write that letter. 758 01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:45,000 And that's how I got the nightcap. 759 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,000 That's how I heard about it. 760 01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,000 That's how I located the subspeed 761 01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:49,000 in Albuquerque. 762 01:03:49,000 --> 01:03:50,000 He was on, 763 01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:51,000 there's a way to Vietnam. 764 01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:54,000 And that's how I got some of the insiders to go. 765 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:55,000 Good morning. 766 01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:59,000 This is a case I wanted to call out about the set, 767 01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:00,000 but Bobby all said, 768 01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:02,000 the lowdown is too far away. 769 01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:06,000 You have my sentiments. 770 01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:11,000 I believe the problem is a problem of high order 771 01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:13,000 scientific importance. 772 01:04:13,000 --> 01:04:16,000 After two years and five hundred witnesses, 773 01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:20,000 I cannot ignore the extraterrestrial hypothesis 774 01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:22,000 which seems so at night, 775 01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:24,000 which seems so at birth, 776 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,000 for reasons that we could now take an hour to discuss, 777 01:04:26,000 --> 01:04:30,000 all the reasons that cannot be used over as long as I do. 778 01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:35,000 But, but the dealing here was such a large volume 779 01:04:35,000 --> 01:04:39,000 of evidence from frequently extremely credible witnesses 780 01:04:39,000 --> 01:04:42,000 of things that are way beyond the state of the art. 781 01:04:42,000 --> 01:04:44,000 Performance characteristics that are like, 782 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,000 they're already in 1947, 783 01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:51,000 so far beyond the present state of the art in 1947, 784 01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,000 saying that it's not, 785 01:04:53,000 --> 01:04:54,000 it's not, 786 01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,000 it's not trust from technology that we're dealing with here. 787 01:04:56,000 --> 01:04:58,000 It's not some Russian test vehicle. 788 01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:01,000 Russians wouldn't be testing a Red Hawk device in Northern 789 01:05:01,000 --> 01:05:06,000 Australia or Paris or take the Hollywood case 790 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,000 where people were bumper to bumper 791 01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:11,000 looking at the thing over La Brea and the things that I think it was. 792 01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:13,000 In February of 1960, 793 01:05:13,000 --> 01:05:15,000 more American test pilots were going to be following 794 01:05:15,000 --> 01:05:19,000 Don Anderson's gas trucks for five miles 795 01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:21,000 near Temple, Oklahoma at bumper height, 796 01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:23,000 not knowing whether that thing is full of gas or not. 797 01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:25,000 You know, you know, that hot test pilot, 798 01:05:25,000 --> 01:05:28,000 they're going to be hovering over three women in 799 01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:31,000 Dublin and Massachusetts and so on. 800 01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:33,000 You could pay out the orderly. 801 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:36,000 This is not advanced technology at all. 802 01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,000 Now, ours, it's not hallucinations. 803 01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:43,000 When you talk to credible witnesses and I emphasize, 804 01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:46,000 I haven't begun to tell you about the interesting things here. 805 01:05:46,000 --> 01:05:49,000 It's just unbelievable that this problem has stayed 806 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,000 under down for 20 years. 807 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:54,000 Absolutely unbelievable to me when you look at the evidence, 808 01:05:54,000 --> 01:05:56,000 the quality of the evidence, 809 01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:58,000 and you look at what the cotton report has done. 810 01:05:58,000 --> 01:06:01,000 It just kept 20 years of bad time and nice and done. 811 01:06:01,000 --> 01:06:02,000 It becomes understandable to him, 812 01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:04,000 why the general didn't react. 813 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:08,000 So, I say we've got a problem here with AIAA. 814 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:12,000 Should be looking at and are, I'm glad to say. 815 01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:15,000 And I am pleased to report sort of off the record 816 01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:20,000 that the OQP and his people are not selling in the towel 817 01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,000 just because the Condom Committee has spoken. 818 01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:26,000 And I urge you to buy that kind of report and read it for yourself 819 01:06:26,000 --> 01:06:31,000 and sign off for yourselves the more scientific, 820 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:38,000 more argumentation that backs up the negative parts 821 01:06:38,000 --> 01:06:43,000 and to look for yourself at the also present strong material 822 01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:45,000 that's in that report that is ignored. 823 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:49,000 And then perhaps you'll agree that it would be very desirable 824 01:06:49,000 --> 01:06:52,000 if some new efforts were launched in Washington 825 01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:55,000 to get some really independent approach 826 01:06:55,000 --> 01:06:59,000 and I could tell you all the negative success I had 827 01:06:59,000 --> 01:07:00,000 in trying to do that. 828 01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,000 Everybody uses a bunch of nonsense. 829 01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:04,000 Just a bunch of borderline dangleings 830 01:07:04,000 --> 01:07:08,000 and I guess my closing comment should be dangleings or something. 831 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:29,000 Dr. McDonald has time for some questions, if you mind. 832 01:07:29,000 --> 01:07:36,000 Dr. Sinclair, thank you for your work in this country, 833 01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:39,000 there must be the same interest generated 834 01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,000 in anyone in France where there have been multiple fights. 835 01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:46,000 Has there been any technical written approach to collusion 836 01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:50,000 and synthesizing what they've seen in these other countries? 837 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:54,000 Are there any foreign investigations comparable to the Air Force? 838 01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,000 I've got two comments. 839 01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000 I wouldn't say that ours is at all. 840 01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:04,000 He said the implication that we have investigated the thing thoroughly, 841 01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,000 I differ with both parts. 842 01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:07,000 You don't want to start an argument. 843 01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:08,000 I'm loving the difference. 844 01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:09,000 Complimenting, right. 845 01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:11,000 Okay, excuse me. 846 01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:12,000 The answer is no. 847 01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:16,000 There's no evidence of any comparable 848 01:08:16,000 --> 01:08:19,000 official investigation anywhere in the world. 849 01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,000 And as I was telling Jean this morning, 850 01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:24,000 Jacques Velayu has written two old, 851 01:08:24,000 --> 01:08:26,000 sorry, good books on the UFO problem, 852 01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:30,000 a French man who was in this country for a few years, 853 01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:33,000 and who is associated with many of the persons in France 854 01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:34,000 who have investigated this, 855 01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,000 and May Michelle, who might have also had exchanges, 856 01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:39,000 told me when I asked him, 857 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:42,000 why didn't you fellows, after a big wave of 1954, 858 01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:44,000 do you know about that wave that's re-fencing, 859 01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,000 why didn't you go to the French Air Force 860 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,000 and demand a French investigation? 861 01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:49,000 Well, we did. 862 01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:53,000 But they said, will the American Air Force, and all its money, 863 01:08:53,000 --> 01:08:54,000 spending the next 10 or 15 years in this, 864 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:57,000 why should we spend French money on it? 865 01:08:57,000 --> 01:09:01,000 And I really believe that the Russians, 866 01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:05,000 probably, there are Russian sightings on record, 867 01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,000 and I think probably the United States Air Force 868 01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000 has succeeded, not intentionally, 869 01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:12,000 as nobody's like at Don't Be Feeling, 870 01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:17,000 you know, sort of, well, bonus or side effect, 871 01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:18,000 was spilling everybody. 872 01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,000 You look, for example, at the Australian sightings, 873 01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:22,000 which I have a fair amount of knowledge, 874 01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:26,000 the similarity between the RAAF explanations, 875 01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,000 RAAF explanations in Australia, 876 01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,000 and Blue Book explanations is like, 877 01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:32,000 it's just unbelievable, 878 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:34,000 the same silly explanations 879 01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,000 and the same failure to close with the problem 880 01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:41,000 that one man who has other intelligence duties does this. 881 01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:43,000 In the Air Ministry in England, 882 01:09:43,000 --> 01:09:46,000 persons who I know have found, again, 883 01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:48,000 it's a couple of people who occasionally look 884 01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:50,000 into these things and are quite sure. 885 01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,000 In the case for the Air Ministry, 886 01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,000 explained the sightings by a bunch of coast guardsmen, 887 01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,000 daytime sightings on objects covering the book, 888 01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,000 Brixton, has probably reflections of headlights off a cloud, 889 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,000 and that that the British coast guard up on their heels. 890 01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:08,000 Well, I don't think there is any investigation anywhere, 891 01:10:08,000 --> 01:10:10,000 unless it's very clandestine. 892 01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:13,000 A colleague of mine in one of the West Coast Aerospace firms 893 01:10:13,000 --> 01:10:16,000 tells me that Argentina, 894 01:10:16,000 --> 01:10:18,000 Argentina Air Force, does have some competent people 895 01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:21,000 checking the many Argentine cases, 896 01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000 but I can't speak the first hand. 897 01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:28,000 I think the Air Force has misled a lot of people. 898 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:30,000 I don't know how to write a question. 899 01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,000 One more. 900 01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,000 Are you committed to fast-riding information on this? 901 01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:37,000 No, I have never... 902 01:10:37,000 --> 01:10:39,000 Right. 903 01:10:39,000 --> 01:10:41,000 I have no knowledge of any classified information, 904 01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:46,000 and obviously I've done everything I could 905 01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000 to find out if it existed, 906 01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:51,000 but I want to touch it, you understand my point, 907 01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,000 but I've seen others. 908 01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:53,000 Since you go to write Patterson, 909 01:10:53,000 --> 01:10:55,000 and to be sure, Project Moodle, 910 01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:57,000 and to be sure, 911 01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:00,000 I've seen other people who have been in the room 912 01:11:00,000 --> 01:11:03,000 about the whole Air Force headquarters thing. 913 01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,000 Three people is about as big as this, 914 01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:08,000 and the one wall is a big, big, dark old file, 915 01:11:08,000 --> 01:11:10,000 and years and years of fascinating files with it. 916 01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:12,000 It's in a classified building. 917 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:14,000 You've got to get clearance to get an FTD, 918 01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,000 because it deals with some hot stuff, 919 01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,000 but a reporter can go in there with a good-off much trouble. 920 01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:21,000 You can see any of the cases. 921 01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,000 There are some cases where a classified equipment radar 922 01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,000 is a lot of people who try to get close to that, 923 01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:30,000 but without going into a long harangue, 924 01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:33,000 I could discuss a lot of specific points 925 01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:35,000 that to me are strong indications 926 01:11:35,000 --> 01:11:37,000 are not dealing with classified. 927 01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,000 I've been in the New England intelligence 928 01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:41,000 and have handled the top secret material, 929 01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:43,000 and I've talked to plenty of people 930 01:11:43,000 --> 01:11:45,000 who are handling top secret material 931 01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,000 both before and after my duty in the Navy. 932 01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:52,000 And when you're touching on a sensitive subject, 933 01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:54,000 people don't keep that from you. 934 01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:56,000 They begin to react in a different way. 935 01:11:56,000 --> 01:12:00,000 It's clear you're talking about a classified subject. 936 01:12:00,000 --> 01:12:02,000 I've never, never heard of that anywhere, 937 01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:06,000 civilian or military, Navy or Air Force. 938 01:12:06,000 --> 01:12:08,000 No indication. 939 01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,000 Not at all. 940 01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:14,000 Yes, so many points to take up. 941 01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000 In the counter-report, the question is astronauts. 942 01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:20,000 In the counter-report, three of the unidentified 943 01:12:20,000 --> 01:12:24,000 and seated by the committee are 944 01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,000 exhibits, Gemini 4, 945 01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,000 visual and photographic observation of an unknown, 946 01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:31,000 Berman's Gemini 7, 947 01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:35,000 and Young Conrad's Gemini 11. 948 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,000 I have talked to NASA personnel about this. 949 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,000 NASA concedes. 950 01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:41,000 They have no explanation for these three sightings. 951 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:45,000 Those are conceded unknowns in the counter-report. 952 01:12:45,000 --> 01:12:49,000 Again, yet nothing of scientific significance in all this. 953 01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000 I'm a doctor, so you're doing the fact that you haven't been 954 01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:56,000 able to tell me the right person or other person is a star. 955 01:12:56,000 --> 01:12:58,000 Oh, we're on. 956 01:12:58,000 --> 01:12:59,000 There have been. 957 01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:05,000 Oh, that's an old one that is spotted out by the skeptics. 958 01:13:05,000 --> 01:13:08,000 I spoke to a group of astronomers. 959 01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:11,000 I won't be very specific about this. 960 01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:14,000 The director of the lab, 961 01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:17,000 you're going to figure out where he's going to start, 962 01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:22,000 but he made that very same point in a follow-up to my briefing on the problem. 963 01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:26,000 And I knew three members of this man's staff, 964 01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:28,000 two of whom were in the room, as he said this, 965 01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:31,000 who had, as amateur astronomers, seen. 966 01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:34,000 I looked for the objects that went past, 967 01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:37,000 but said, don't tell anybody about this, you know. 968 01:13:37,000 --> 01:13:38,000 And they were in the room, 969 01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:42,000 and Dr. K was asking this question, 970 01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,000 or will the answer is, 971 01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,000 I don't know if it's a type of, I just got a report on an unknown of the last cruises 972 01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000 from August 19th to 49th. 973 01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,000 Don't get me started, 974 01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,000 because I really, really often know on this, 975 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,000 how amateur astronomers have seen these. 976 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:56,000 They're like a lot of pilots. 977 01:13:56,000 --> 01:13:58,000 They don't talk about it very much, 978 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,000 but they've seen them, indeed.
