a result of having to 51 00:01:56,230 --> 00:01:54,159 do a presentation a 10-minute 52 00:01:59,429 --> 00:01:56,240 presentation in a science class 53 00:02:02,630 --> 00:01:59,439 and uh in my eighth grade and i 54 00:02:04,789 --> 00:02:02,640 and i had to put my name next to a topic 55 00:02:06,870 --> 00:02:04,799 and nobody else chose it and i put my 56 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,880 name next to this thing called ufos 57 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,800 didn't even know what it was went up to 58 00:02:12,630 --> 00:02:10,720 my teacher and said well what's a ufo 59 00:02:13,830 --> 00:02:12,640 and he said i identified flying object i 60 00:02:15,750 --> 00:02:13,840 said what is that 61 00:02:17,350 --> 00:02:15,760 he said you ever heard of flying saucers 62 00:02:18,470 --> 00:02:17,360 i said yeah i watched science fiction 63 00:02:20,470 --> 00:02:18,480 show you know so 64 00:02:22,229 --> 00:02:20,480 no problem we'll go do a ten minute 65 00:02:24,309 --> 00:02:22,239 report go do your study and 66 00:02:27,190 --> 00:02:24,319 of course i did a horrible job with it i 67 00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:27,200 got a d on it that's how well 68 00:02:30,949 --> 00:02:30,160 and so i pretty pretty near flunking but 69 00:02:32,869 --> 00:02:30,959 anyway 70 00:02:34,790 --> 00:02:32,879 i couldn't address any of the questions 71 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:34,800 that my teacher had who was more 72 00:02:40,390 --> 00:02:38,080 well read on this subject uh in 73 00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:40,400 my my topics were like i think the books 74 00:02:43,350 --> 00:02:41,920 that i actually looked at were like my 75 00:02:46,550 --> 00:02:43,360 trip to venus 76 00:02:49,030 --> 00:02:46,560 my saturnian lover you know 77 00:02:50,470 --> 00:02:49,040 you know and so so i you know and i grew 78 00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:50,480 up in dayton ohio 79 00:02:54,229 --> 00:02:52,560 and little did i know a couple days 80 00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,239 later after getting my first 81 00:02:59,110 --> 00:02:57,040 actual legitimate book on it uh it was 82 00:02:59,910 --> 00:02:59,120 called the report on unidentified flying 83 00:03:03,030 --> 00:02:59,920 objects 84 00:03:06,149 --> 00:03:03,040 by the head of project blue book 85 00:03:08,790 --> 00:03:06,159 and that was uh when i read that 86 00:03:09,750 --> 00:03:08,800 book i i was like taking it back because 87 00:03:12,869 --> 00:03:09,760 they're talking about 88 00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:12,879 know 89 00:03:17,190 --> 00:03:16,159 firing at them i'm going like wait a 90 00:03:19,830 --> 00:03:17,200 minute you know 91 00:03:22,790 --> 00:03:19,840 and plus it coincided with the uhlani 92 00:03:24,309 --> 00:03:22,800 zamora socorro new mexico case 93 00:03:26,229 --> 00:03:24,319 in which there was the object that 94 00:03:27,990 --> 00:03:26,239 landed and and that was a pretty 95 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:28,000 well-known case 96 00:03:33,509 --> 00:03:32,159 so it rocked my world and i you know 97 00:03:35,910 --> 00:03:33,519 basically got started 98 00:03:37,750 --> 00:03:35,920 after that and then within i started 99 00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:37,760 giving lectures even around 100 00:03:41,990 --> 00:03:40,480 town uh in dayton ohio and that's where 101 00:03:45,430 --> 00:03:42,000 the project blue book was 102 00:03:46,869 --> 00:03:45,440 and so i became you know pretty much the 103 00:03:49,589 --> 00:03:46,879 go-to guy 104 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:49,599 uh in the city of dayton anyway and then 105 00:03:53,509 --> 00:03:50,400 suddenly i got 106 00:03:56,470 --> 00:03:53,519 connected up with a mutual ufo network 107 00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:56,480 in uh 19 well actually it was called the 108 00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:58,840 midwest ufo network in 109 00:04:04,869 --> 00:04:02,640 1969 and uh and anyway i became the 110 00:04:05,990 --> 00:04:04,879 state section director for dayton ohio 111 00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:06,000 i was with a number of other 112 00:04:09,750 --> 00:04:08,000 organizations studying the phenomena and 113 00:04:11,509 --> 00:04:09,760 actually investigating cases 114 00:04:13,830 --> 00:04:11,519 right so i've been investigating you 115 00:04:14,229 --> 00:04:13,840 know probably over over a thousand cases 116 00:04:17,909 --> 00:04:14,239 uh 117 00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:17,919 myself and then i over the the period of 118 00:04:21,749 --> 00:04:18,479 you know 119 00:04:22,870 --> 00:04:21,759 the next 57 years i basically have been 120 00:04:26,150 --> 00:04:22,880 the deputy director of 121 00:04:29,189 --> 00:04:26,160 investigations for uh mufon 122 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:29,199 i was also the director of scientific 123 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:31,199 projects which was looking at adapting 124 00:04:35,110 --> 00:04:33,040 technology to study 125 00:04:36,909 --> 00:04:35,120 uh and i got involved with them on that 126 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:36,919 and then about 127 00:04:42,310 --> 00:04:40,000 2017 i decided to leave my positions 128 00:04:44,629 --> 00:04:42,320 with mufon and we we decided to create 129 00:04:46,469 --> 00:04:44,639 an organization called the scu which is 130 00:04:49,189 --> 00:04:46,479 a scientific coalition for uap 131 00:04:50,390 --> 00:04:49,199 studies and the primary focus there was 132 00:04:54,070 --> 00:04:50,400 to be able to get 133 00:04:54,870 --> 00:04:54,080 scientists engaged and and serious 134 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:54,880 researchers 135 00:05:01,029 --> 00:04:58,160 as a coalition to start doing uh 136 00:05:01,749 --> 00:05:01,039 independent studies uh and really you 137 00:05:04,070 --> 00:05:01,759 know 138 00:05:05,350 --> 00:05:04,080 put science at the forefront because up 139 00:05:06,870 --> 00:05:05,360 to that point 140 00:05:08,550 --> 00:05:06,880 you know a lot of people will collect 141 00:05:11,029 --> 00:05:08,560 ufo reports but they don't 142 00:05:12,150 --> 00:05:11,039 do an analysis of them that we don't you 143 00:05:14,629 --> 00:05:12,160 know 144 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:14,639 you might have 70 000 cases or 80 000 145 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,600 cases in your 146 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,720 your database with mufon and if you if 147 00:05:21,909 --> 00:05:20,160 you haven't got somebody that's actually 148 00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:21,919 doing an analysis of it then what good 149 00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:22,880 is it right 150 00:05:26,230 --> 00:05:24,479 you don't want to work to put reports 151 00:05:26,550 --> 00:05:26,240 together and investigate them but you 152 00:05:28,870 --> 00:05:26,560 know 153 00:05:30,870 --> 00:05:28,880 hey wait a minute what intelligence can 154 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:30,880 we get from it so that's kind of where i 155 00:05:36,950 --> 00:05:33,919 we are as as a group now 156 00:05:38,070 --> 00:05:36,960 that's my ufo history okay let me come 157 00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:38,080 back to now my 158 00:05:41,990 -->

development uh and i've also 165 00:05:57,350 --> 00:05:54,000 been playing roles 166 00:06:00,790 --> 00:05:57,360 in as a systems engineering and analyst 167 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:00,800 so i work for the army material command 168 00:06:04,390 --> 00:06:03,440 which if you it's kind of an interesting 169 00:06:06,390 --> 00:06:04,400 corollary 170 00:06:07,590 --> 00:06:06,400 the if you take a look at it like i'm 171 00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:07,600 working for the army 172 00:06:11,749 --> 00:06:10,479 organization that was actually the and 173 00:06:16,070 --> 00:06:11,759 the air force 174 00:06:17,830 --> 00:06:16,080 one that housed project blue book 175 00:06:20,230 --> 00:06:17,840 so i'm kind of like the sister 176 00:06:21,670 --> 00:06:20,240 organization if 177 00:06:23,590 -->

00:06:48,710 --> 00:06:47,280 we're suddenly starting to to create a 190 00:06:51,909 --> 00:06:48,720 like if you would a partnership 191 00:06:53,990 --> 00:06:51,919 with the intelligence piece

00:07:22,639 uh measures intelligence to human uh to 205 00:07:27,110 --> 00:07:25,199 sigint which is signals intelligence and 206 00:07:30,150 --> 00:07:27,120 stuff like that and that's all gonna be 207 00:07:32,469 --> 00:07:30,160 great sensory information that we could 208 00:07:33,830 --> 00:07:32,479 now study so i'm excited vinnie but 209 00:07:35,990 --> 00:07:33,840 that's kind of like my background 210 00:07:38,469 --> 00:07:36,000 i've been active like i said for 57 211 00:07:40,710 --> 00:07:38,479 years i love that the 212 00:07:42,550 --> 00:07:40,720 the whole topic i've studied a lot seen 213 00:07:44,950 --> 00:07:42,560 a lot hurt a lot 214 00:07:45,749 --> 00:07:44,960 and uh there you go no that's great 215 00:07:47,909 --> 00:07:45,759 thank you 216 00:07:49,990 --> 00:07:47,919 but before you were saying about 2017 217 00:07:52,150 --> 00:07:50,000 and forming that scu but 218 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:52,160 in the years maybe even decades leading 219 00:07:54,950 --> 00:07:53,280 up to that in your work in the 220 00:07:56,950 --> 00:07:54,960 scientific field did you always come 221 00:07:58,309 --> 00:07:56,960 across that stigma that taboo that was 222 00:08:01,350 --> 00:07:58,319 associated with 223 00:08:03,510 --> 00:08:01,360 the ufo subject yes and 224 00:08:05,270 --> 00:08:03,520 let me tell you i mean the interesting 225 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:05,280 thing that i've had is i 226 00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:07,120 think i told you that i started even 227 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,400 lecturing back in 228 00:08:13,029 --> 00:08:10,400 20 i mean when i when i was like 13 229 00:08:15,110 --> 00:08:13,039 years old yeah and uh 230 00:08:16,710 --> 00:08:15,120 you know in a lot of my presentations 231 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:16,720 and lectures and stuff like that i would 232 00:08:20,070 --> 00:08:17,440 run across 233 00:08:22,230 --> 00:08:20,080 different groups or like i would speak 234 00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,240 to churches i would speak it uh 235 00:08:26,070 --> 00:08:25,199 you know it might be like these like 236 00:08:28,629 --> 00:08:26,080 clubs like 237 00:08:29,749 --> 00:08:28,639 rotary optimus clubs and various other 238 00:08:32,469 --> 00:08:29,759 kind of clubs 239 00:08:33,190 --> 00:08:32,479 in and around the united states and so 240 00:08:34,949 --> 00:08:33,200 you know you'd 241 00:08:37,750 --> 00:08:34,959 you'd kind of like see a little bit of a 242 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:37,760 hesitation to even discuss the topic 243 00:08:43,589 --> 00:08:41,039 or or that type of thing or you know 244 00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,599 basically there's a they pooh-pooh it if 245 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:45,440 you would uh and say that there's 246 00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:47,200 nothing to it this is just all 247 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:49,360 hui and then i would do my presentation 248 00:08:53,509 --> 00:08:50,320 and be like 249 00:08:55,269 --> 00:08:53,519 wow i didn't realize that 250 00:08:57,110 --> 00:08:55,279 a lot of people are going on the basis 251 00:08:58,710 --> 00:08:57,120 of just you know either what they saw on 252 00:09:01,430 --> 00:08:58,720 television or what they heard 253 00:09:01,829 --> 00:09:01,440 yeah somebody else and they form these 254 00:09:03,829 --> 00:09:01,839 like 255 00:09:06,310 --> 00:09:03,839 opinions that that it's all you know 256 00:09:08,310 --> 00:09:06,320 it's either all legit or it's not legit 257 00:09:10,550 --> 00:09:08,320 but very rarely did they spend any time 258 00:09:10,949 --> 00:09:10,560 studying it or actually looking into it 259 00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:10,959 right 260 00:09:16,230 --> 00:09:14,080 of course and so yeah i mean so 261 00:09:17,269 --> 00:09:16,240 you know consequently you've seen over 262 00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:17,279 the period of uh 263 00:09:21,350 --> 00:09:20,160 of that time you know at least my time 264 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:21,360 and i'm seeing all 265 00:09:26,310 --> 00:09:24,240 57 years history right where we could 266 00:09:27,430 --> 00:09:26,320 talk about flying saucers back in the in 267 00:09:29,590 --> 00:09:27,440 the early days 268 00:09:30,470 --> 00:09:29,600 because it was an open topic it seemed 269 00:09:32,310 --> 00:09:30,480 and there was an actual 270 00:09:34,310 --> 00:09:32,320 air force project that was studying it 271 00:09:35,350 --> 00:09:34,320 right yeah it's got to be legit and we 272 00:09:37,829 --> 00:09:35,360 can talk about it 273 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:37,839 yes well then you had the project blue 274 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:38,399 book 275 00:09:43,990 --> 00:09:42,160 closed in 1969 and then you had the 276 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:44,000 scientific community coming out saying 277 00:09:48,310 --> 00:09:44,560 it's 278 00:09:51,110 --> 00:09:48,320 anymore just you know let it go 279 00:09:51,829 --> 00:09:51,120 drop it uh it's not worth your time and 280 00:09:53,910 --> 00:09:51,839 they all 281 00:09:55,990 --> 00:09:53,920 and then you had the period of times at 282 00:09:57,750 --> 00:09:56,000 least in the united states where you had 283 00:09:59,430 --> 00:09:57,760 these tabloids would be sitting at your 284 00:10:00,389 --> 00:09:59,440 grocery checkout that would have a 285 00:10:02,069 --> 00:10:00,399 picture of 286 00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,079 some president or something like that 287 00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,480 holding an alien baby 288 00:10:09,190 --> 00:10:06,640 the whole topic you know and so you know 289 00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:09,200 and that was all a cia push to be able 290 00:10:12,470 --> 00:10:11,040 to get it to make it ludicrous and 291 00:10:15,110 --> 00:10:12,480 things to talk about 292 00:10:16,310 --> 00:10:15,120 yeah and and you know and i'll also say 293 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,320 this vinnie 294 00:10:20,870 --> 00:10:18,720 that the uf if you would if there is 295 00:10:21,509 --> 00:10:20,880 such a thing as a ufo community which is 296 00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:21,519 just so 297 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,640 fractured and fragmented and 298 00:10:28,470 --> 00:10:26,480 it's almost like a different religions 299 00:10:31,269 --> 00:10:28,480 here and there 300 00:10:31,990 --> 00:10:31,279 you know that if you can call it one 301 00:10:33,829 --> 00:10:32,000 community 302 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:33,839 and it's you know you think that it's 303 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:35,760 working you know cooperatively 304 00:10:41,110 --> 00:10:38,800 together and it's not and and uh then 305 00:10:43,190 --> 00:10:41,120 you run into the problem where 306 00:10:45,110 --> 00:10:43,200 you know there are these like really 307 00:10:45,990 --> 00:10:45,120 fringe kind of beliefs out there about 308 00:10:48,870 --> 00:10:46,000 the subject 309 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,880 that you know then this other group has 310 00:10:52,310 --> 00:10:49,920 problems with it 311 00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:52,320 and then you see all that and then what 312 00:10:54,550 --> 00:10:54,000 scientists would want to get engaged in 313 00:10:57,350 --> 00:10:54,560 all that 314 00:10:58,389 --> 00:10:57,360 crap of course no absolutely amazing 315 00:11:01,750 --> 00:10:58,399 yeah 316 00:11:03,350 --> 00:11:01,760 so that's why you saw like even in 2017 317 00:11:06,150 --> 00:11:03,360 there was a large number of us 318 00:11:08,150 --> 00:11:06,160 that left mufon because well they 319 00:11:10,470 --> 00:11:08,160 started to get into the the conspiracy 320 00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:10,480 stuff about secret spaceship programs 321 00:11:14,710 --> 00:11:11,680 and all this other 322 00:11:16,710 --> 00:11:14,720 stuff and you know i mean that's fine 323 00:11:17,750 --> 00:11:16,720 and good but that's not where science 324 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,760 wants to play 325 00:11:21,350 --> 00:11:19,120 and we don't want to deal with 326 00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:21,360 conspiracies we want to deal with facts 327 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:23,760 of course we want to deal with evidence 328 00:11:28,550 --> 00:11:26,160 we want to deal with that type stuff so 329 00:11:29,910 --> 00:11:28,560 we kind of divorced ourselves from even 330 00:11:32,710 --> 00:11:29,920 uh that 331 00:11:34,470 --> 00:11:32,720 and we moved on and that's why we say we 332 00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:34,480 needed to stick together to be able to 333 00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:35,519 have these serious 334 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:38,480 conversations about you know propulsion 335 00:11:41,269 --> 00:11:39,839 systems what can we 336 00:11:42,949 --> 00:11:41,279 learn from the ufos and their 337 00:11:45,190 --> 00:11:42,959 propulsions and interactions with the 338 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:45,200 atmosphere 339 00:11:49,829 --> 00:11:47,040 is there any pattern to where they the 340 00:11:52,150 --> 00:11:49,839 uso phenomena happens you know the 341 00:11:54,230 --> 00:11:52,160 the underwater stuff that's going on is 342 00:11:55,829 --> 00:11:54,240 there a pattern to that 343 00:11:58,470 --> 00:11:55,839 and that's the kind of like level of 344 00:12:01,269 --> 00:11:58,480 discussions that we want uh we want to 345 00:12:01,829 --> 00:12:01,279 can we deduce any of the intentions uh 346 00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:01,839 of the 347 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:04,639 objects that are seen next to nuclear 348 00:12:08,470 --> 00:12:05,600 facilities 349 00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,480 do they is there something about the the 350 00:12:11,990 --> 00:12:10,480 timing of that that happens is there 351 00:12:15,030 --> 00:12:12,000 something about the uh 352 00:12:16,949 --> 00:12:15,040 the way that they maneuver or uh maybe 353 00:12:19,190 --> 00:12:16,959 they hold back and watch 354 00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,200 uh and so we're trying to like learn the 355 00:12:23,350 --> 00:12:21,279 intentions of that if you would 356 00:12:24,870 --> 00:12:23,360 sure like and so that's where science 357 00:12:27,269 --> 00:12:24,880 wants to be and we want to 358 00:12:29,269 --> 00:12:27,279 we want to forward that understanding 359 00:12:32,150 --> 00:12:29,279 from a scientific nature of these 360 00:12:33,509 --> 00:12:32,160 uh objects no that's great and that's 361 00:12:36,389 --> 00:12:33,519 what i keep saying to people 362 00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:36,399 across my social media platforms is that 363 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:37,600 i think 364 00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:40,320 so many people were waiting for the june 365 00:12:44,069 --> 00:12:42,160 25th report to come out and there 366 00:12:46,949 --> 00:12:44,079 suddenly be loads of answers but i was 367 00:12:48,470 --> 00:12:46,959 kind of giving out my opinion which was 368 00:12:50,310 --> 00:12:48,480 this isn't going to give us answers it's 369 00:12:52,949 --> 00:12:50,320 going to lead us into a new direction 370 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:52,959 that is going to be focused on science 371 00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:53,680 yes i think 372 00:12:56,550 --> 00:12:54,959 you know it's going to take a lot more 373 00:12:58,310 --> 00:12:56,560 time but it's definitely got to go down 374 00:13:01,509 --> 00:12:58,320 the scientific um 375 00:13:03,190 --> 00:13:01,519 avenue let's say so um yeah and 376 00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:03,200 i mean you know you know that whole 377 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:04,880 stigma is what kept 378 00:13:09,269 --> 00:13:07,120 pilots from reporting it navy p 379 00:13:11,430 --> 00:13:09,279 personnel from talking about it 380 00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:11,440 nobody wanted to to discuss it and so 381 00:13:14,870 --> 00:13:12,800 that even that's what i saw 382 00:13:16,150 --> 00:13:14,880 in in my i mean working in the military 383 00:13:17,670 --> 00:13:16,160 right now yeah 384 00:13:20,230 --> 00:13:17,680 the interesting thing about me is if you 385 00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:20,240 go to my my cube where i sit and do my 386 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:22,000 work and stuff like that it's all decked 387 00:13:25,590 --> 00:13:23,360 out and ufo stuff 388 00:13:27,509 --> 00:13:25,600 and so i got the little i want to 389 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:27,519 believe poster and everything else 390 00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:30,720 i have it too the funny thing is that 391 00:13:34,870 --> 00:13:32,639 they've always known that i'm i'm 392 00:13:36,550 --> 00:13:34,880 very much into this and and that i treat 393 00:13:39,269 --> 00:13:36,560 it seriously so 394 00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:39,279 i will get conversations privately where 395 00:13:44,949 --> 00:13:41,600 people will come up and tell me their 396 00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:44,959 experiences right right you know and so 397 00:13:49,030 --> 00:13:47,839 they have experiences and they don't and 398 00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:49,040 i remember like 399 00:13:52,790 --> 00:13:50,560 this is kind of a funny thing but in the 400 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,800 70s i actually went to project blue book 401 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:54,320 area where it was 402 00:13:58,949 --> 00:13:56,320 and the foreign technology division and 403 00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:58,959 i gave up i gave a presentation on ufos 404 00:14:02,150 --> 00:13:59,760 right 405 00:14:03,990 --> 00:14:02,160 and so here i am talking to all these 406 00:14:05,910 --> 00:14:04,000 people that were probably playing in it 407 00:14:07,910 --> 00:14:05,920 from scientific standpoint 408 00:14:09,110 --> 00:14:07,920 and i i i asked him i said well how many 409 00:14:11,670 --> 00:14:09,120 of you have you actually 410 00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:11,680 witnessed one and maybe like one nervous 411 00:14:15,430 --> 00:14:12,800 hand out of the 412 00:14:16,470 --> 00:14:15,440 room and then then what happened you 413 00:14:18,550 --> 00:14:16,480 want to hear something funny 414 00:14:19,670 --> 00:14:18,560 but at the i gave a little intermission 415 00:14:21,430 --> 00:14:19,680 or a break 416 00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:21,440 i was pummeled with everybody walking up 417 00:14:25,110 --> 00:14:23,040 to me telling me their stories 418 00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:25,120 and then they had me like for hours 419 00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:27,120 afterwards telling me their stories 420 00:14:31,990 --> 00:14:30,399 privately right wow so i mean 421 00:14:34,069 --> 00:14:32,000 the fact that we're now looking to be 422 00:14:36,870 --> 00:14:34,079 able to get the navy and all and the air 423 00:14:39,990 --> 00:14:36,880 force to actually do these reports 424 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,000 uh and also the collection of all the 425 00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:42,480 wonderful things like radar the isr 426 00:14:47,189 --> 00:14:45,440 the sensors and all that yeah that's 427 00:14:49,590 --> 00:14:47,199 going to be extremely helpful 428 00:14:50,470 --> 00:14:49,600 uh to be able to now make some sense out 429 00:14:54,310 --> 00:14:50,480 of this 430 00:14:56,069 --> 00:14:54,320 yeah absolutely um and it is it feels 431 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:56,079 like we're in a new a new step a new 432 00:14:58,710 --> 00:14:57,120 frontier 433 00:15:00,870 --> 00:14:58,720 but it is this is what i say to people 434 00:15:02,629 --> 00:15:00,880 it is quite new i mean the the navy 435 00:15:04,470 --> 00:15:02,639 reporting system's probably only been in 436 00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:04,480 play for a couple of years 437 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:06,639 so i think we've got a lot to wait and 438 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,399 come from that side of things and i 439 00:15:11,990 --> 00:15:10,079 think probably a lot of the 440 00:15:14,389 --> 00:15:12,000 even the classified report that that we 441 00:15:16,949 --> 00:15:14,399 didn't see is probably only focusing on 442 00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:16,959 a majority of the 144 cases 443 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:18,959 possibly being in the last couple years 444 00:15:22,870 --> 00:15:20,160 due to those implement 445 00:15:24,470 --> 00:15:22,880 implementations from the navy reporting 446 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:24,480 system so 447 00:15:27,670 --> 00:15:26,160 but um you were just talking about 448 00:15:29,670 --> 00:15:27,680 speaking to people 449 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:29,680 about their sightings and stuff but have 450 00:15:33,269 --> 00:15:32,160 you ever had a sighting or an experience 451 00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,279 or anything 452 00:15:36,710 --> 00:15:35,040 so i've had experiences obviously when 453 00:15:39,430 --> 00:15:36,720 you go out and do and conduct 454 00:15:40,629 --> 00:15:39,440 investigations uh you know and 455 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:40,639 especially in the number that i have 456 00:15:43,910 --> 00:15:41,040 done 457 00:15:45,030 --> 00:15:43,920 you know first going out in the fields 458 00:15:47,189 --> 00:15:45,040 walking and seeing 459 00:15:49,430 --> 00:15:47,199 you know the like maybe ground evidence 460 00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:49,440 or something of that nature 461 00:15:53,670 --> 00:15:51,199 something's there i've i've seen a lot 462 00:15:57,430 --> 00:15:53,680 of things that it basically convinced me 463 00:16:00,310 --> 00:15:57,440 that that there's something real uh in 464 00:16:01,910 --> 00:16:00,320 my aha moment was not my own observation 465 00:16:05,189 --> 00:16:01,920 because i really haven't had any 466 00:16:06,870 --> 00:16:05,199 uh at all and uh but i 467 00:16:09,189 --> 00:16:06,880 i have i'll tell you one in a minute 468 00:16:11,110 --> 00:16:09,199 here but but when you go out and you 469 00:16:12,069 --> 00:16:11,120 actually do an investigation on the case 470 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,079 where there were a lot 471 00:16:16,310 --> 00:16:14,880 ufo activity the night before and this 472 00:16:17,990 --> 00:16:16,320 farmer happens to come out 473 00:16:19,910 --> 00:16:18,000 and looking at his wheat field in the 474 00:16:22,629 --> 00:16:19,920 middle of the wheat field 475 00:16:24,629 --> 00:16:22,639 there's a 70 diameter circular area 476 00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:24,639 where there's no wheat anymore 477 00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:27,120 uh and that he finds that the next 478 00:16:29,829 --> 00:16:28,000 morning 479 00:16:31,509 --> 00:16:29,839 and then we have a team that goes out 480 00:16:35,189 --> 00:16:31,519 and does the analysis of that 481 00:16:37,670 --> 00:16:35,199 in in and we we find in the 482 00:16:38,389 --> 00:16:37,680 if you were in this area and this 483 00:16:41,509 --> 00:16:38,399 there's no 484 00:16:44,310 --> 00:16:41,519 roots uh that are remaining uh 485 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:44,320 of the wheat and as you there's a 486 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:45,040 depression 487 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:47,920 in the center of the wheat crop 488 00:16:50,389 --> 00:16:49,360 indicating that there was like something 489 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:50,399 that was heavy that was 490 00:16:55,509 --> 00:16:53,519 pressing down on oil and then it 491 00:16:57,829 --> 00:16:55,519 then as you progressively move out in 492 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:57,839 any direction from that center point 493 00:17:01,269 --> 00:16:59,759 center point when let's say you get out 494 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:01,279 to about 65 495 00:17:07,029 --> 00:17:04,240 uh you know or like you know might it 496 00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:07,039 might be 65 feet around in that circle 497 00:17:10,710 --> 00:17:09,120 yeah you find that there's a little bit 498 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:10,720 of the roots that are still remaining 499 00:17:12,949 --> 00:17:12,240 and then maybe a stubble above the 500 00:17:14,470 --> 00:17:12,959 ground 501 00:17:16,470 --> 00:17:14,480 and then you get a bit further out you 502 00:17:18,470 --> 00:17:16,480 see a rotational pattern of the wheat 503 00:17:19,669 --> 00:17:18,480 and then you see puffed wheat around the 504 00:17:22,630 --> 00:17:19,679 entire 70 foot 505 00:17:23,669 --> 00:17:22,640 in diameter area now you're standing in 506 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:23,679 the middle of this 507 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:25,760 you get there's microwave radiation 508 00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:26,959 you're detecting 509 00:17:31,350 --> 00:17:30,480 right and you're saying what does that 510 00:17:33,190 --> 00:17:31,360 in the middle 511 00:17:35,270 --> 00:17:33,200 and there's no indication of some heavy 512 00:17:36,789 --> 00:17:35,280 equipment coming in from you know 513 00:17:38,310 --> 00:17:36,799 the rest of the wheat is all still 514 00:17:41,510 --> 00:17:38,320 standing right yeah 515 00:17:43,909 --> 00:17:41,520 so what does that right 516 00:17:45,669 --> 00:17:43,919 and you know how could you even contrive 517 00:17:49,110 --> 00:17:45,679 that you know if i wanted to call it 518 00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:49,120 something like that so to me that's like 519 00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:52,400 an aha moment where i could say yes 520 00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:55,360 there's something to this right sure 521 00:17:59,430 --> 00:17:56,320 that's 522 00:18:01,510 --> 00:17:59,440 my name i've been out on many nights 523 00:18:02,630 --> 00:18:01,520 trying to look for them haven't seen 524 00:18:06,230 --> 00:18:02,640 anything 525 00:18:09,669 --> 00:18:06,240 i did have an experience in october of 526 00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,679 2012 uh where i was going into work 527 00:18:13,750 --> 00:18:11,440 one morning and i suddenly started 528 00:18:15,669 --> 00:18:13,760 getting phone calls here in huntsville 529 00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:15,679 about an object that was up in the in 530 00:18:18,950 --> 00:18:17,039 the sky and i i 531 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,960 had them direct me to where it was it 532 00:18:22,310 --> 00:18:21,039 was a very sunny day 533 00:18:24,310 --> 00:18:22,320 and i happened to be looking up in the 534 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,320 sky and and i saw 535 00:18:27,350 --> 00:18:26,240 an object that was up there that was 536 00:18:29,430 --> 00:18:27,360 very bright 537 00:18:31,430 --> 00:18:29,440 and then it would go dark and then would 538 00:18:33,270 --> 00:18:31,440 come back being bright 539 00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:33,280 dark right and kept going through this 540 00:18:36,950 --> 00:18:34,480 kind of thing i kept 541 00:18:37,750 --> 00:18:36,960 what is that you know and it's got a you 542 00:18:40,870 --> 00:18:37,760 know 543 00:18:44,150 --> 00:18:40,880 typical star would be the 544 00:18:47,270 --> 00:18:44,160 serious or some very bright star 545 00:18:48,710 --> 00:18:47,280 right and what was causing it to do that 546 00:18:51,669 --> 00:18:48,720 i couldn't make it out 547 00:18:53,430 --> 00:18:51,679 i then uh when i got to work one of my 548 00:18:55,430 --> 00:18:53,440 colleagues said did you happen to see 549 00:18:57,990 --> 00:18:55,440 the cylinder that took off from 550 00:18:58,950 --> 00:18:58,000 like the uh you know cylindrical object 551 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,960 you know he said 552 00:19:02,150 --> 00:19:00,160 i said no i didn't know it was 553 00:19:04,549 --> 00:19:02,160 cylindrical so 554 00:19:05,909 --> 00:19:04,559 being the fact that i was uh that was i 555 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:05,919 was the state director 556 00:19:11,029 --> 00:19:09,120 for mufon i started following in the 557 00:19:12,789 --> 00:19:11,039 mufon database 558 00:19:14,710 --> 00:19:12,799 to see if any additional sightings were 559 00:19:17,669 --> 00:19:14,720 coming up of a cylinder right 560 00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:17,679 yeah and so i tracked for the next four 561 00:19:21,669 --> 00:19:18,559 days 562 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:21,679 a cylinder that moved from huntsville 563 00:19:25,830 --> 00:19:22,720 alabama 564 00:19:28,789 --> 00:19:25,840 up into tennessee up toward the 565 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,799 bristol state la the uh bristol city 566 00:19:32,070 --> 00:19:30,160 area which is a 567 00:19:34,150 --> 00:19:32,080 half of it's in virginia and the other 568 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:34,160 half is in tennessee 569 00:19:37,190 --> 00:19:36,480 right and then so i followed it up 570 00:19:40,470 --> 00:19:37,200 through uh 571 00:19:42,390 --> 00:19:40,480 virginia and then it into ohio 572 00:19:45,510 --> 00:19:42,400 and you could watch it and it turned out 573 00:19:47,669 --> 00:19:45,520 to be the google loon balloon 574 00:19:49,110 --> 00:19:47,679 it was a they were testing and it was a 575 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:49,120 steeper project 576 00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:51,600 to be able to test providing internet 577 00:19:55,909 --> 00:19:52,960 using balloons 578 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:55,919 right and so this was a test that was 579 00:20:00,950 --> 00:19:58,240 being done it was an i guess a nasa 580 00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:00,960 release here where i'm at in huntsville 581 00:20:03,909 --> 00:20:02,720 uh we have the marshall space flight 582 00:20:07,029 --> 00:20:03,919 center and i work at 583 00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:07,039 course redstone arsenal but yeah uh 584 00:20:10,070 --> 00:20:08,880 anyway that was a test flight of that 585 00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:10,080 google and it was secret 586 00:20:14,630 --> 00:20:12,159 so they didn't report it and actually 587 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:14,640 google was tracking it by ufo reports as 588 00:20:17,430 --> 00:20:15,200 well 589 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:17,440 you know they were tracking your balloon 590 00:20:21,430 --> 00:20:18,480 so 591 00:20:23,190 --> 00:20:21,440 anyway that's as close as i've come to 592 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:23,200 my own observation and i couldn't figure 593 00:20:26,789 --> 00:20:24,799 out what it was at first and it took me 594 00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:26,799 a while to be able to investigate it 595 00:20:30,710 --> 00:20:29,039 that was that's yeah i can see why that 596 00:20:31,830 --> 00:20:30,720 would cause quite the uproar across the 597 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:31,840 community and over 598 00:20:35,750 --> 00:20:34,000 very various nights and stuff there's a 599 00:20:37,029 --> 00:20:35,760 blue that was actually just making its 600 00:20:39,510 --> 00:20:37,039 way through the wind 601 00:20:40,230 --> 00:20:39,520 and made its way up into eventually into 602 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:40,240 canada where 603 00:20:47,430 --> 00:20:44,799 it came out that's there that's crazy 604 00:20:48,070 --> 00:20:47,440 um moving on let's um this is something 605 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:48,080 that people 606 00:20:53,190 --> 00:20:51,520 always always ask me about and 607 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:53,200 uh well there's no easier way to say 608 00:20:58,549 --> 00:20:54,640 than are you aware 609 00:21:01,909 --> 00:20:58,559 of the patterns of salvatore pie 610 00:21:03,669 --> 00:21:01,919 yes and this seems this is why i keep 611 00:21:05,430 --> 00:21:03,679 getting question people saying well they 612 00:21:07,110 --> 00:21:05,440 they exist because this is what they are 613 00:21:10,630 --> 00:21:07,120 and it you know i 614 00:21:13,830 --> 00:21:10,640 obviously it's not as simple as that um 615 00:21:15,190 --> 00:21:13,840 can you expand on it at all just give a 616 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:15,200 breakdown of what it is 617 00:21:19,590 --> 00:21:18,400 what it means because people jump from 618 00:21:21,350 --> 00:21:19,600 zero to 100 619 00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:21,360 and think they don't see everything in 620 00:21:26,070 --> 00:21:23,039 between 621 00:21:27,430 --> 00:21:26,080 right and so just to let you know i 622 00:21:29,110 --> 00:21:27,440 kind of started when when he first 623 00:21:32,149 --> 00:21:29,120 started coming out i kept like saying 624 00:21:33,190 --> 00:21:32,159 like what is this why why is this coming 625 00:21:36,070 --> 00:21:33,200 out at this time 626 00:21:37,270 --> 00:21:36,080 is this uh is this disinformation is it 627 00:21:40,789 --> 00:21:37,280 being used 628 00:21:43,830 --> 00:21:40,799 to be able to uh you know basically 629 00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:43,840 uh to kinda like if you would to let the 630 00:21:47,190 --> 00:21:45,280 chinese know that we're looking into 631 00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:47,200 something and 632 00:21:55,270 --> 00:21:51,840 that is that a game that's being played 633 00:21:57,270 --> 00:21:55,280 uh and you know and then i actually was 634 00:21:59,029 --> 00:21:57,280 able to confirm because i'm in the dod i 635 00:22:01,990 --> 00:21:59,039 could actually confirm that there was a 636 00:22:03,110 --> 00:22:02,000 this gentleman is legit yeah and he did 637 00:22:05,350 --> 00:22:03,120 work where he was 638 00:22:06,470 --> 00:22:05,360 and all this other stuff so it's like 639 00:22:08,710 --> 00:22:06,480 you know 640 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:08,720 and then there's a question of did any 641 00:22:12,390 --> 00:22:09,679 of these things 642 00:22:13,190 --> 00:22:12,400 actually pan out in other words if you 643 00:22:15,830 --> 00:22:13,200 do 644 00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:15,840 you can put something together on paper 645 00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:17,200 and it sounds wonderful 646 00:22:20,230 --> 00:22:19,200 but you know doesn't have anything that 647 00:22:22,630 --> 00:22:20,240 and you know that 648 00:22:23,669 --> 00:22:22,640 legitimate to it you know sure yeah and 649 00:22:25,590 --> 00:22:23,679 so you know 650 00:22:28,149 --> 00:22:25,600 we're tests run to see if there was 651 00:22:29,669 --> 00:22:28,159 actually the capability of creating a 652 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:29,679 piece uh 653 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:32,000 polarizable vacuum or something like 654 00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:33,679 that around maybe the craft 655 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:36,880 using uh microwave transmitters and and 656 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:38,320 all this other type things 657 00:22:43,270 --> 00:22:40,799 and what what i what i deduced was that 658 00:22:46,390 --> 00:22:43,280 apparently these things didn't work out 659 00:22:48,070 --> 00:22:46,400 uh and and the tests were not 660 00:22:49,990 --> 00:22:48,080 conclusive enough to be able to go 661 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:50,000 forward 662 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:53,039 and then later on apparently because of 663 00:22:56,230 --> 00:22:55,200 that the navy pretty much just dropped 664 00:22:58,470 --> 00:22:56,240 it and 665 00:22:59,590 --> 00:22:58,480 apparently i think that the the air 666 00:23:01,750 --> 00:22:59,600 force was actually 667 00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:01,760 going to be picking it up to see if they 668 00:23:07,350 --> 00:23:04,159 could do anything further with it 669 00:23:08,870 --> 00:23:07,360 you know uh and god bless them for going 670 00:23:10,710 --> 00:23:08,880 because that's just r d i mean 671 00:23:11,669 --> 00:23:10,720 scientists will show you different kinds 672 00:23:13,990 --> 00:23:11,679 of things 673 00:23:14,870 --> 00:23:14,000 you know and so you know can you 674 00:23:17,029 --> 00:23:14,880 conceivably 675 00:23:19,430 --> 00:23:17,039 get an effect where you'd be able to 676 00:23:21,830 --> 00:23:19,440 actually do those types of things and 677 00:23:23,750 --> 00:23:21,840 what i i've not i haven't followed it 678 00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,760 anymore after the fact that they 679 00:23:27,190 --> 00:23:25,520 initially announced that the tests were 680 00:23:30,470 --> 00:23:27,200 pretty much inclusive 681 00:23:33,110 --> 00:23:30,480 right and and didn't pan out as if 682 00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:33,120 if you would so that's pretty much where 683 00:23:36,950 --> 00:23:34,320 i went with it vinnie 684 00:23:38,470 --> 00:23:36,960 but but you know again it goes back to 685 00:23:42,149 --> 00:23:38,480 uh 686 00:23:45,029 --> 00:23:42,159 is one thing 687 00:23:45,990 --> 00:23:45,039 versus actual scientific research that 688 00:23:47,669 --> 00:23:46,000 you might find 689 00:23:49,669 --> 00:23:47,679 in the in the government that would be 690 00:23:52,870 --> 00:23:49,679 highly classified if you would 691 00:23:53,430 --> 00:23:52,880 sure uh and so uh there could have been 692 00:23:57,830 --> 00:23:53,440 a 693 00:24:00,950 --> 00:23:57,840 it i don't know 694 00:24:01,590 --> 00:24:00,960 uh that that that is a strategy that the 695 00:24:03,909 --> 00:24:01,600 dod 696 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:03,919 probably could use to be able to throw 697 00:24:07,990 --> 00:24:04,880 people off 698 00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:08,000 or other countries uh and you know 699 00:24:11,510 --> 00:24:10,320 and and we already have a problem in the 700 00:24:13,510 --> 00:24:11,520 sense that 701 00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:13,520 we we know that the chinese are stealing 702 00:24:17,269 --> 00:24:14,640 our r d 703 00:24:18,870 --> 00:24:17,279 anyway uh and suddenly that you know 704 00:24:19,190 --> 00:24:18,880 that's that explains why you suddenly 705 00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:19,200 see 706 00:24:24,149 --> 00:24:21,360 an american design for a drone suddenly 707 00:24:26,549 --> 00:24:24,159 being over the chinese inventory 708 00:24:28,470 --> 00:24:26,559 so uh we do have adversaries that are 709 00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:28,480 trying to ping us from a cyber security 710 00:24:32,310 --> 00:24:29,120 standpoint 711 00:24:32,630 --> 00:24:32,320 all the time and and we do know that 712 00:24:39,830 --> 00:24:32,640 that 713 00:24:41,590 --> 00:24:39,840 thing the reason why 714 00:24:43,029 --> 00:24:41,600 again where i asked about the the pi 715 00:24:44,710 --> 00:24:43,039 patterns is because 716 00:24:47,029 --> 00:24:44,720 i think too many people see a pattern 717 00:24:49,669 --> 00:24:47,039 and they they just see it as 718 00:24:51,430 --> 00:24:49,679 it's real it exists yeah and it's flying 719 00:24:54,630 --> 00:24:51,440 above our heads and that's it 720 00:24:56,310 --> 00:24:54,640 you know i've seen it oh man 721 00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:56,320 and i don't want to be the one to try 722 00:24:59,830 --> 00:24:58,159 and burst their bubble because they're 723 00:25:03,269 --> 00:24:59,840 so sure fire that a pattern 724 00:25:04,630 --> 00:25:03,279 means we have it and it's good to hear 725 00:25:06,470 --> 00:25:04,640 it from somebody 726 00:25:08,549 --> 00:25:06,480 you know who is it more probably more in 727 00:25:11,029 --> 00:25:08,559 the know than i am let's say 728 00:25:12,549 --> 00:25:11,039 if you go into the actual trademark or 729 00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:12,559 the patent and trademark office you'll 730 00:25:15,750 --> 00:25:12,799 see 731 00:25:17,750 --> 00:25:15,760 all kinds of designs over the history of 732 00:25:21,190 --> 00:25:17,760 people that have submitted patents for 733 00:25:21,909 --> 00:25:21,200 all kinds of wild crazy designs of ufos 734 00:25:24,630 --> 00:25:21,919 i mean 735 00:25:25,190 --> 00:25:24,640 or or things that will be anti-gravity 736 00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:25,200 or whatever 737 00:25:28,470 --> 00:25:26,880 but again if you don't put it on the 738 00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:28,480 drawing board and you actually test it 739 00:25:31,269 --> 00:25:29,440 and conducts 740 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:31,279 you know i mean then it it just falls 741 00:25:34,070 --> 00:25:32,880 out absolutely 742 00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:34,080 i know that's the thing there's been 743 00:25:37,029 --> 00:25:36,000 triangles and all sorts of weird and 744 00:25:38,950 --> 00:25:37,039 wonderful craft 745 00:25:40,390 --> 00:25:38,960 yes that just keep cropping up across 746 00:25:42,230 --> 00:25:40,400 social media with people going 747 00:25:43,590 --> 00:25:42,240 i've we found it we you know it's it's 748 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:43,600 the government 749 00:25:49,110 --> 00:25:46,720 like no it really doesn't mean that 750 00:25:50,549 --> 00:25:49,120 but yeah anyway thank you for clarifying 751 00:25:51,669 --> 00:25:50,559 that so i'm just trying to get my notes 752 00:25:54,149 --> 00:25:51,679 up i think the 753 00:25:56,549 --> 00:25:54,159 one of the big things that um i've been 754 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:56,559 very interested in is obviously the 2004 755 00:26:00,630 --> 00:25:58,559 nimitz case and of course 756 00:26:01,909 --> 00:26:00,640 the scu paper is one of the most 757 00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:01,919 in-depth studies 758 00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:04,320 analysis using all sorts of science 759 00:26:07,110 --> 00:26:05,919 mathematics and everything 760 00:26:08,950 --> 00:26:07,120 are you able to talk us through the 761 00:26:10,549 --> 00:26:08,960 process from when you first started 762 00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:10,559 looking at the case to how it came 763 00:26:13,029 --> 00:26:11,039 through 764 00:26:14,470 --> 00:26:13,039 all the way to that that paper being 765 00:26:17,830 --> 00:26:14,480 released 766 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:17,840 i'd be glad to uh robert powell was 767 00:26:22,870 --> 00:26:20,240 the the first one uh to be able to get 768 00:26:26,149 --> 00:26:22,880 engaged he had seen apparently or 769 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,159 somehow notice that article by paco 770 00:26:29,269 --> 00:26:28,640 chichiri i'm not sure if i'm saying that 771 00:26:32,630 --> 00:26:29,279 right but 772 00:26:35,830 --> 00:26:32,640 sounds okay paco had written an article 773 00:26:38,070 --> 00:26:35,840 and and then as he started uh robert 774 00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:38,080 powell started to dive into it 775 00:26:43,110 --> 00:26:41,200 uh he started to get more information 776 00:26:45,430 --> 00:26:43,120 that it might be a legitimate 777 00:26:46,549 --> 00:26:45,440 kind of like incident and something that 778 00:26:49,830 --> 00:26:46,559 we could we could 779 00:26:53,110 --> 00:26:49,840 start to look into so hats off to 780 00:26:55,669 --> 00:26:53,120 robert for his uh is his initial push 781 00:26:56,630 --> 00:26:55,679 into getting that information absolutely 782 00:26:59,430 --> 00:26:56,640 doing that 783 00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:59,440 and then what that did was it you know 784 00:27:03,510 --> 00:27:00,720 started to lead into 785 00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:03,520 also doing other kinds of what they call 786 00:27:06,630 --> 00:27:04,799 foia requests 787 00:27:07,990 --> 00:27:06,640 to be able to get additional information 788 00:27:10,390 --> 00:27:08,000 and so uh 789 00:27:11,110 --> 00:27:10,400 robert was actually doing a whole lot of 790 00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:11,120 those 791 00:27:14,870 --> 00:27:14,000 requests to be able to get more data and 792 00:27:17,430 --> 00:27:14,880 uh 793 00:27:18,230 --> 00:27:17,440 then a number of us we started to form a 794 00:27:20,470 --> 00:27:18,240 team 795 00:27:22,549 --> 00:27:20,480 to where we started to look into it from 796 00:27:25,750 --> 00:27:22,559 our different perspectives and so 797 00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:25,760 like i i started helping in in a certain 798 00:27:30,070 --> 00:27:28,000 context to be able to go out and get 799 00:27:32,710 --> 00:27:30,080 like dod related kind of information 800 00:27:34,630 --> 00:27:32,720 because of my connection that way 801 00:27:36,710 --> 00:27:34,640 i started to help put some of the 802 00:27:40,789 --> 00:27:36,720 information together about the 803 00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:40,799 you know the vfa 41 the the black aces 804 00:27:46,070 --> 00:27:43,679 and some other kinds of information uh i 805 00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:46,080 also started to engage people on social 806 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:46,640 media 807 00:27:50,789 --> 00:27:49,120 we happen to find a princeton believe it 808 00:27:53,990 --> 00:27:50,799 or not facebook page 809 00:27:55,190 --> 00:27:54,000 and uh and we made connections uh early 810 00:27:58,230 --> 00:27:55,200 on with that 811 00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:58,240 and and then got a hold of kevin day and 812 00:28:01,830 --> 00:27:58,880 then 813 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,840 kevin day was a the senior officer 814 00:28:06,230 --> 00:28:03,600 aboard the uh the princeton 815 00:28:07,269 --> 00:28:06,240 was able to help then connect us to gary 816 00:28:10,149 --> 00:28:07,279 voorhees 817 00:28:11,350 --> 00:28:10,159 to jason turner and a whole bunch of 818 00:28:15,029 --> 00:28:11,360 other people 819 00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:15,039 uh and then we also then there's overall 820 00:28:18,710 --> 00:28:17,760 18 people that we interviewed for that 821 00:28:21,990 --> 00:28:18,720 report 822 00:28:26,149 --> 00:28:22,000 uh we actually got lieutenant commander 823 00:28:29,029 --> 00:28:26,159 slate uh to an interview 824 00:28:30,870 --> 00:28:29,039 and that was the first time that i mean 825 00:28:32,470 --> 00:28:30,880 that basically anybody had even they 826 00:28:34,149 --> 00:28:32,480 didn't even know about him until we put 827 00:28:35,590 --> 00:28:34,159 that report together yeah i've actually 828 00:28:37,190 --> 00:28:35,600 got a couple of questions about that 829 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:37,200 statement that slate put out maybe we'll 830 00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:38,640 get to that after you yeah 831 00:28:42,870 --> 00:28:41,279 but i mean so in our interviews with 832 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:42,880 these people and we recorded the 833 00:28:46,710 --> 00:28:44,880 interviews uh and we were able to get a 834 00:28:49,830 --> 00:28:46,720 lot of good details 835 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:49,840 about the the overall incident of course 836 00:28:53,190 --> 00:28:52,000 uh commander fraber was you know being 837 00:28:56,549 --> 00:28:53,200 open about his 838 00:28:59,029 --> 00:28:56,559 uh his encounter and what he experienced 839 00:29:00,470 --> 00:28:59,039 yeah we could add that into it and then 840 00:29:03,190 --> 00:29:00,480 uh you had 841 00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:03,200 obviously like later on underwood it 842 00:29:07,510 --> 00:29:04,240 became known 843 00:29:10,230 --> 00:29:07,520 uh and you had uh you know kirth 844 00:29:12,789 --> 00:29:10,240 on the the marine side who was actually 845 00:29:16,149 --> 00:29:12,799 engaging in the red blue exercise 846 00:29:16,549 --> 00:29:16,159 he was he was and so he had originally 847 00:29:18,230 --> 00:29:16,559 seen 848 00:29:20,549 --> 00:29:18,240 the the bubbles in the water from an 849 00:29:22,470 --> 00:29:20,559 object that was underneath it he didn't 850 00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:22,480 see the tic tac but he actually saw 851 00:29:26,630 --> 00:29:24,640 some object below the water yeah and 852 00:29:28,149 --> 00:29:26,640 that was before fraver and that had been 853 00:29:29,909 --> 00:29:28,159 triangulated out that way isn't it he 854 00:29:32,710 --> 00:29:29,919 was the first to see anything 855 00:29:34,710 --> 00:29:32,720 yes he was he was the initial uh party 856 00:29:37,510 --> 00:29:34,720 to be able to say that he saw this 857 00:29:39,269 --> 00:29:37,520 this uh object uh so you have all these 858 00:29:40,070 --> 00:29:39,279 different parties and players aboard 859 00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:40,080 these ships 860 00:29:44,070 --> 00:29:42,080 and then you had later on you know you 861 00:29:47,110 --> 00:29:44,080 actually had the uh the hawkeye 862 00:29:48,549 --> 00:29:47,120 uh the people that were talking uh we 863 00:29:50,470 --> 00:29:48,559 were trying to find out 864 00:29:52,389 --> 00:29:50,480 from that standpoint because they're you 865 00:29:54,549 --> 00:29:52,399 know the when the navy 866 00:29:56,310 --> 00:29:54,559 when the navy does it's like they dock 867 00:29:57,669 --> 00:29:56,320 and then they get all this new equipment 868 00:30:00,310 --> 00:29:57,679 and then they take it out for these 869 00:30:02,230 --> 00:30:00,320 training exercises and tests 870 00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:02,240 they go through these different stages 871 00:30:06,310 --> 00:30:03,440 uh various 872 00:30:07,110 --> 00:30:06,320 uh ships and things like that are are 873 00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:07,120 with them 874 00:30:10,549 --> 00:30:09,919 and we weren't sure at the point uh we 875 00:30:14,230 --> 00:30:10,559 were 876 00:30:16,549 --> 00:30:14,240 about that this happened in 877 00:30:17,830 --> 00:30:16,559 uh we came to later learned that you 878 00:30:20,310 --> 00:30:17,840 know two of the 879 00:30:22,310 --> 00:30:20,320 these ships were not anywhere near them 880 00:30:25,269 --> 00:30:22,320 that they were actually at ports 881 00:30:25,669 --> 00:30:25,279 uh and so it wasn't the complete carrier 882 00:30:28,789 --> 00:30:25,679 group 883 00:30:30,789 --> 00:30:28,799 that was the same and so that's 884 00:30:31,909 --> 00:30:30,799 that was another thing we learned over a 885 00:30:34,230 --> 00:30:31,919 period time 886 00:30:35,990 --> 00:30:34,240 to say like you know hey is the hicks 887 00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:36,000 was the hicks there was chaffey 888 00:30:40,070 --> 00:30:39,520 there uh and so again you know no they 889 00:30:42,389 --> 00:30:40,080 weren't 890 00:30:43,430 --> 00:30:42,399 at this particular time they were uh 891 00:30:45,830 --> 00:30:43,440 they were 892 00:30:47,590 --> 00:30:45,840 i guess ports uh and then they came 893 00:30:49,110 --> 00:30:47,600 later on to be able to join what they 894 00:30:52,230 --> 00:30:49,120 call the com2x 895 00:30:54,549 --> 00:30:52,240 exercise uh but anyway so 896 00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:54,559 you know we we learned that and then we 897 00:30:59,590 --> 00:30:56,159 then what we did 898 00:31:01,190 --> 00:30:59,600 was try to take and pull a team together 899 00:31:03,269 --> 00:31:01,200 to be able to look at uh 900 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:03,279 at multiple ways you can determine 901 00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:06,000 things like acceleration of the object 902 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:08,240 uh in other words where what were the 903 00:31:11,750 --> 00:31:09,120 instances where 904 00:31:12,310 --> 00:31:11,760 acceleration could be determined well 905 00:31:16,870 --> 00:31:12,320 you know 906 00:31:19,590 --> 00:31:16,880 about the fact that the 907 00:31:21,669 --> 00:31:19,600 that he had measured uh that the objects 908 00:31:25,029 --> 00:31:21,679 dropped from like a 20 000 909 00:31:26,389 --> 00:31:25,039 feet altitude down to sea level 910 00:31:28,149 --> 00:31:26,399 and at first that a lot of that 911 00:31:30,149 --> 00:31:28,159 information was confusing because it 912 00:31:31,350 --> 00:31:30,159 you know the object was initially at 80 913 00:31:33,590 --> 00:31:31,360 000 feet 914 00:31:34,870 --> 00:31:33,600 it dropped down to twenty eight thousand 915 00:31:36,710 --> 00:31:34,880 or twenty thousand feet 916 00:31:38,870 --> 00:31:36,720 that's right you know and then there was 917 00:31:42,149 --> 00:31:38,880 a twenty thousand foot two 918 00:31:46,070 --> 00:31:42,159 uh ocean or sea level you know 919 00:31:48,230 --> 00:31:46,080 uh and so there was a lot of you know 920 00:31:49,830 --> 00:31:48,240 confusion about that but anyway we we 921 00:31:50,470 --> 00:31:49,840 took the analysis where we said well 922 00:31:53,110 --> 00:31:50,480 wait a minute 923 00:31:54,070 --> 00:31:53,120 okay he says it dropped from 28 000 feet 924 00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:54,080 uh to 925 00:31:57,430 --> 00:31:56,320 the sea level in point seven eight 926 00:31:59,509 --> 00:31:57,440 seconds so that's 927 00:32:00,630 --> 00:31:59,519 like you know not even one second right 928 00:32:03,029 --> 00:32:00,640 sure so 929 00:32:04,230 --> 00:32:03,039 if we took an object that was comparable 930 00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:04,240 to the size 931 00:32:09,350 --> 00:32:07,679 and possibly the weight of the of the 932 00:32:11,430 --> 00:32:09,360 tic-tac 933 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:11,440 then that would be probably equivalent 934 00:32:16,149 --> 00:32:12,559 of an f-18 935 00:32:18,710 --> 00:32:16,159 so let's go the mass of an f18 936 00:32:20,870 --> 00:32:18,720 and let's compute compare that right and 937 00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:20,880 then you have a problem that if in 938 00:32:26,149 --> 00:32:23,919 0.78 seconds think about it when we 939 00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:26,159 we accelerate to a certain speed and 940 00:32:30,950 --> 00:32:28,640 then we have to break of course 941 00:32:32,070 --> 00:32:30,960 no okay so there's is it a parabolic 942 00:32:32,549 --> 00:32:32,080 kind of curve that we're going to be 943 00:32:35,509 --> 00:32:32,559 doing 944 00:32:35,990 --> 00:32:35,519 or is it an instantaneous up down uh you 945 00:32:38,070 --> 00:32:36,000 know and 946 00:32:39,750 --> 00:32:38,080 so we tried to like figure that is it 947 00:32:41,590 --> 00:32:39,760 you know how is that acceleration and 948 00:32:44,630 --> 00:32:41,600 deceleration happening 949 00:32:47,750 --> 00:32:44,640 uh and then if you applied the uh 950 00:32:49,110 --> 00:32:47,760 again a similar weight of an f-18 is 951 00:32:51,750 --> 00:32:49,120 being that 952 00:32:53,590 --> 00:32:51,760 used what would that give you in terms 953 00:32:55,430 --> 00:32:53,600 of its kinetic power 954 00:32:57,029 --> 00:32:55,440 output what would it give you in terms 955 00:32:58,470 --> 00:32:57,039 of its acceleration 956 00:33:00,549 --> 00:32:58,480 what would give you in terms of the 957 00:33:03,669 --> 00:33:00,559 velocity and so 958 00:33:05,110 --> 00:33:03,679 we we then computed it and we also did a 959 00:33:07,830 --> 00:33:05,120 another computation 960 00:33:08,389 --> 00:33:07,840 we said what happens if it's six seconds 961 00:33:12,470 --> 00:33:08,399 not 962 00:33:15,590 --> 00:33:12,480 looked at it from 963 00:33:18,149 --> 00:33:15,600 six seconds and what would it be 964 00:33:20,230 --> 00:33:18,159 and then even in six seconds it's way 965 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:20,240 beyond 966 00:33:23,990 --> 00:33:22,960 it would survive the the the object 967 00:33:25,430 --> 00:33:24,000 would break apart 968 00:33:27,350 --> 00:33:25,440 if it you know if you think about the 969 00:33:30,470 --> 00:33:27,360 materials that we have 970 00:33:32,230 --> 00:33:30,480 yeah like an f-18 at that speed it would 971 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:32,240 disintegrate you know and then if you 972 00:33:34,710 --> 00:33:33,760 had a pilot in it he'd be a puddle on 973 00:33:37,430 --> 00:33:34,720 the bottom of the floor 974 00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:37,440 right you know i mean you're talking 975 00:33:41,830 --> 00:33:39,360 about speeds in excess of 976 00:33:43,350 --> 00:33:41,840 anything that we typically know of and 977 00:33:45,750 --> 00:33:43,360 at the same time 978 00:33:47,029 --> 00:33:45,760 you don't have any sonic boom you have 979 00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:47,039 the kinetic power 980 00:33:52,630 --> 00:33:50,080 output equivalent to like the hoover dam 981 00:33:53,110 --> 00:33:52,640 yeah you've got uh you know you've got 982 00:33:54,710 --> 00:33:53,120 uh 983 00:33:56,310 --> 00:33:54,720 speeds in excess of like you know a 984 00:33:59,909 --> 00:33:56,320 hundred thousand 985 00:34:01,669 --> 00:33:59,919 possibly uh miles per uh per hour or a 986 00:34:03,590 --> 00:34:01,679 kilo 987 00:34:05,110 --> 00:34:03,600 you know so i mean what i'm trying to 988 00:34:06,870 --> 00:34:05,120 say is that i can't remember exact 989 00:34:09,030 --> 00:34:06,880 measures but it's in our report 990 00:34:11,190 --> 00:34:09,040 but i mean you get this tremendous 991 00:34:11,829 --> 00:34:11,200 amount of speed acceleration and stuff 992 00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:11,839 that 993 00:34:18,149 --> 00:34:16,560 it it's like the inertial forces and the 994 00:34:21,190 --> 00:34:18,159 g-forces so 995 00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:21,200 yeah so now and what we did is we did it 996 00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:21,760 for 997 00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:23,839 like that experience but then there was 998 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:25,440 another time you could measure it and 999 00:34:29,349 --> 00:34:26,639 that was when it 1000 00:34:29,990 --> 00:34:29,359 left fravor and went to the cap point 1001 00:34:32,230 --> 00:34:30,000 right 1002 00:34:33,190 --> 00:34:32,240 so now we actually measured the speed 1003 00:34:35,190 --> 00:34:33,200 again 1004 00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:35,200 at that point until going to the cap 1005 00:34:38,629 --> 00:34:36,560 point and stopping 1006 00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:38,639 well how long did that take and how many 1007 00:34:42,629 --> 00:34:40,000 miles was it 1008 00:34:43,589 --> 00:34:42,639 but can you and then again it exceeded 1009 00:34:48,389 --> 00:34:43,599 anything that we 1010 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:48,399 we've got and by a lot quite a lot 1011 00:34:54,310 --> 00:34:51,599 that was taken by uh you know underwood 1012 00:34:54,950 --> 00:34:54,320 uh in the the next group that was taking 1013 00:34:56,950 --> 00:34:54,960 off 1014 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:56,960 yeah and you take a look at the video 1015 00:35:00,950 --> 00:34:58,400 which is uh you know 1016 00:35:01,990 --> 00:35:00,960 it switches between thermal and you know 1017 00:35:05,109 --> 00:35:02,000 uh the regular 1018 00:35:06,870 --> 00:35:05,119 visible range but i mean you can then 1019 00:35:08,230 --> 00:35:06,880 take a look at that and we were able to 1020 00:35:12,150 --> 00:35:08,240 measure the speed there 1021 00:35:13,990 --> 00:35:12,160 and again you know the again the speed 1022 00:35:15,430 --> 00:35:14,000 would have been in excess of anything 1023 00:35:18,470 --> 00:35:15,440 that we've got so 1024 00:35:20,150 --> 00:35:18,480 you've got three different types of 1025 00:35:21,910 --> 00:35:20,160 measurements so i mean three different 1026 00:35:24,069 --> 00:35:21,920 parts of that whole encounter 1027 00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:24,079 that it is it's exceeding anything that 1028 00:35:28,829 --> 00:35:25,760 we've got in our inventory 1029 00:35:29,990 --> 00:35:28,839 absolutely yeah absolutely and i think 1030 00:35:31,589 --> 00:35:30,000 what 1031 00:35:33,109 --> 00:35:31,599 there's always people out there on 1032 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:33,119 social media and things like that who 1033 00:35:36,790 --> 00:35:35,119 want to really break it down and 1034 00:35:38,630 --> 00:35:36,800 try and debunk it and all that kind of 1035 00:35:40,069 --> 00:35:38,640 stuff and i think what's been really 1036 00:35:43,510 --> 00:35:40,079 showing especially in the last couple of 1037 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:43,520 days is a statement that jim slate made 1038 00:35:47,589 --> 00:35:45,359 and it puts his time scale within a kind 1039 00:35:49,109 --> 00:35:47,599 of half an hour period 1040 00:35:50,069 --> 00:35:49,119 but then you think about fraver who's 1041 00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:50,079 kind of always talked about a 1042 00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:51,440 five-minute period 1043 00:35:54,310 --> 00:35:52,960 and then recently you've had alex 1044 00:35:56,390 --> 00:35:54,320 dietrich who's come out talking about a 1045 00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:56,400 10-second period so everyone's jumping 1046 00:35:59,030 --> 00:35:56,960 on this 1047 00:36:01,270 --> 00:35:59,040 well what is it ten seconds five minutes 1048 00:36:02,550 --> 00:36:01,280 longer you know 1049 00:36:04,310 --> 00:36:02,560 is there anything you can say to that 1050 00:36:06,069 --> 00:36:04,320 because i think what we all really do 1051 00:36:07,589 --> 00:36:06,079 know is that time is 1052 00:36:09,430 --> 00:36:07,599 different to everyone and the way that 1053 00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:09,440 they perceive it and everything and 1054 00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:12,560 how vital is that to the investigation 1055 00:36:15,750 --> 00:36:14,880 well again you know i think that uh you 1056 00:36:17,670 --> 00:36:15,760 know 1057 00:36:19,190 --> 00:36:17,680 it's vital that you get accurate facts 1058 00:36:20,950 --> 00:36:19,200 but that's been a very 1059 00:36:22,550 --> 00:36:20,960 much the same problem that you'll run 1060 00:36:25,990 --> 00:36:22,560 across with human 1061 00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:26,000 uh you know anecdotal testimonies yeah 1062 00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:28,000 when i investigated cases of multiple 1063 00:36:32,310 --> 00:36:29,119 witnesses 1064 00:36:33,349 --> 00:36:32,320 uh over the period of my 57 years and 1065 00:36:35,030 --> 00:36:33,359 stuff like that 1066 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:35,040 you'll always get variants from 1067 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:37,040 different people i mean 1068 00:36:40,230 --> 00:36:38,960 some people hear better than others some 1069 00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:40,240 people will have better 1070 00:36:45,510 --> 00:36:43,839 visual acuity than others some people 1071 00:36:47,750 --> 00:36:45,520 uh you know can have better 1072 00:36:48,230 --> 00:36:47,760 recollections of times and things like 1073 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:48,240 that 1074 00:36:52,630 --> 00:36:50,160 and you are talking about an incident 1075 00:36:54,950 --> 00:36:52,640 that occurred you know in 2004 1076 00:36:57,109 --> 00:36:54,960 yeah which is a long time ago right so 1077 00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:57,119 our memory becomes an issue 1078 00:37:01,190 --> 00:37:00,640 in that whole thing and so that's why 1079 00:37:05,109 --> 00:37:01,200 you know 1080 00:37:07,270 --> 00:37:05,119 it's great 1081 00:37:08,230 --> 00:37:07,280 it was a great encounter it's a lot of 1082 00:37:10,150 --> 00:37:08,240 good information 1083 00:37:12,950 --> 00:37:10,160 and this is why scientists tend to want 1084 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:12,960 to hang around scientific data 1085 00:37:19,190 --> 00:37:16,160 as opposed to human testimony sure 1086 00:37:21,990 --> 00:37:19,200 because human testimony is indeed 1087 00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:22,000 fallible yeah it changes over time it 1088 00:37:29,990 --> 00:37:28,550 exactly i mean so you know we understand 1089 00:37:33,109 --> 00:37:30,000 that that's going to happen 1090 00:37:35,190 --> 00:37:33,119 uh you know that's why you see people on 1091 00:37:35,589 --> 00:37:35,200 death row being released because guess 1092 00:37:37,750 --> 00:37:35,599 what 1093 00:37:39,190 --> 00:37:37,760 you know it wasn't that person after all 1094 00:37:41,589 --> 00:37:39,200 that's on death row 1095 00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:41,599 and we now have evidence like dna that 1096 00:37:44,950 --> 00:37:43,200 comes forward and we can say that no 1097 00:37:47,109 --> 00:37:44,960 that wasn't the individual and 1098 00:37:48,710 --> 00:37:47,119 your memory was long that you know all 1099 00:37:51,589 --> 00:37:48,720 that stuff like that so 1100 00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:51,599 so we have to factor that in uh and we 1101 00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:53,200 try to do that on the nimitz but it's 1102 00:37:56,790 --> 00:37:53,520 still 1103 00:37:59,430 --> 00:37:56,800 a lot of 1104 00:38:01,190 --> 00:37:59,440 great you know evidence if you would 1105 00:38:02,550 --> 00:38:01,200 that helps to support that something 1106 00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:02,560 highly unusual 1107 00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:05,359 did take place and it was definitely an 1108 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:06,160 object 1109 00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:08,480 whether it was five minutes whether it 1110 00:38:13,270 --> 00:38:10,320 was a few seconds 1111 00:38:15,030 --> 00:38:13,280 uh or something of that nature uh it's 1112 00:38:16,870 --> 00:38:15,040 still an incredible encounter and it 1113 00:38:18,790 --> 00:38:16,880 again it shows 1114 00:38:20,470 --> 00:38:18,800 the same kind of characteristics that 1115 00:38:22,870 --> 00:38:20,480 you have of objects back 1116 00:38:23,910 --> 00:38:22,880 in the even in the early 50s and and the 1117 00:38:26,310 --> 00:38:23,920 late 40s 1118 00:38:27,109 --> 00:38:26,320 you've always had the objects that 1119 00:38:29,589 --> 00:38:27,119 performing 1120 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:29,599 uh you know like lou elizondo likes to 1121 00:38:33,589 --> 00:38:31,440 talk about the five observables 1122 00:38:35,750 --> 00:38:33,599 sure well that they were performing like 1123 00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:35,760 that back in the 50s you know i mean 1124 00:38:39,430 --> 00:38:37,920 you could stop on a dime you can make 90 1125 00:38:41,910 --> 00:38:39,440 degree turns you don't you know 1126 00:38:43,910 --> 00:38:41,920 break any sound barriers you seem to go 1127 00:38:46,150 --> 00:38:43,920 uh you know you don't heat up 1128 00:38:47,510 --> 00:38:46,160 uh you know going through our atmosphere 1129 00:38:48,790 --> 00:38:47,520 like everything else going at those 1130 00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:48,800 speeds would 1131 00:38:52,950 --> 00:38:51,760 create absolutely yeah yeah you'd see 1132 00:38:54,550 --> 00:38:52,960 that on the flea cameras as well 1133 00:38:56,630 --> 00:38:54,560 wouldn't you yeah red hot white 1134 00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:56,640 sorry black hot white hot it would show 1135 00:39:00,870 --> 00:38:59,119 up it would show up and you you would 1136 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:00,880 see that kind of like thing 1137 00:39:04,630 --> 00:39:03,359 uh plus you you know you you have 1138 00:39:07,109 --> 00:39:04,640 typical descriptions 1139 00:39:08,310 --> 00:39:07,119 of of objects that don't have any kind 1140 00:39:10,310 --> 00:39:08,320 of like 1141 00:39:12,710 --> 00:39:10,320 there are no wings that are helping to 1142 00:39:14,150 --> 00:39:12,720 keep it up there's no propulsion system 1143 00:39:15,030 --> 00:39:14,160 that's helping to drive the thing 1144 00:39:18,310 --> 00:39:15,040 forward 1145 00:39:20,150 --> 00:39:18,320 uh you know and so what is it and 1146 00:39:22,390 --> 00:39:20,160 that's been consistent all along with 1147 00:39:24,550 --> 00:39:22,400 this phenomenon absolutely no 1148 00:39:25,990 --> 00:39:24,560 thank you so much for that and i think 1149 00:39:27,829 --> 00:39:26,000 you know 1150 00:39:30,390 --> 00:39:27,839 it what you've just said is is kind of 1151 00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:30,400 what where i was at with it but it just 1152 00:39:33,190 --> 00:39:31,760 it's when other people come to me with 1153 00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:33,200 other explanations and they have all 1154 00:39:37,910 --> 00:39:35,040 these things and i'm like well listen 1155 00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:37,920 i always send them to the scu paper and 1156 00:39:41,990 --> 00:39:39,599 take it take a look there that's that's 1157 00:39:43,349 --> 00:39:42,000 look it's there just have a look it's 1158 00:39:47,030 --> 00:39:43,359 it's not 1159 00:39:48,790 --> 00:39:47,040 someone who's just spent a day 1160 00:39:50,550 --> 00:39:48,800 looking into it this is a proper you 1161 00:39:54,390 --> 00:39:50,560 know 1162 00:39:56,069 --> 00:39:54,400 to two years before 1163 00:39:58,870 --> 00:39:56,079 writing these papers it's not like it 1164 00:40:00,630 --> 00:39:58,880 was done overnight 1165 00:40:02,870 --> 00:40:00,640 a lot of people don't understand that 1166 00:40:04,550 --> 00:40:02,880 that it takes that much time and 1167 00:40:05,990 --> 00:40:04,560 their expectations are you're gonna you 1168 00:40:08,230 --> 00:40:06,000 know here's a case 1169 00:40:10,069 --> 00:40:08,240 and like you know a week later you're 1170 00:40:13,270 --> 00:40:10,079 expected to get all those scientific 1171 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:13,280 you know explanations oh no you take a 1172 00:40:16,950 --> 00:40:14,800 long time studying this 1173 00:40:18,309 --> 00:40:16,960 from every angle you know it's actually 1174 00:40:19,030 --> 00:40:18,319 yeah and it's not just one person 1175 00:40:20,710 --> 00:40:19,040 looking at it 1176 00:40:22,710 --> 00:40:20,720 yeah i'm sure you're doing it as a group 1177 00:40:24,550 --> 00:40:22,720 and you know you've got great minds 1178 00:40:27,109 --> 00:40:24,560 looking into it so um 1179 00:40:29,270 --> 00:40:27,119 nah great um i'm not going to keep you 1180 00:40:30,870 --> 00:40:29,280 too much longer but one case that i 1181 00:40:32,710 --> 00:40:30,880 really wanted to speak to you about and 1182 00:40:36,150 --> 00:40:32,720 it's one of my favorite cases 1183 00:40:38,470 --> 00:40:36,160 is the 2013 aguadilla puerto rico case 1184 00:40:39,910 --> 00:40:38,480 i feel it does not get enough coverage 1185 00:40:42,950 --> 00:40:39,920 recognition or anything 1186 00:40:44,550 --> 00:40:42,960 in the ufo community as a whole um and 1187 00:40:46,710 --> 00:40:44,560 too many people 1188 00:40:48,790 --> 00:40:46,720 in my opinion just shoot it down 1189 00:40:50,550 --> 00:40:48,800 straight away as a balloon or a chinese 1190 00:40:53,589 --> 00:40:50,560 lantern 1191 00:40:54,309 --> 00:40:53,599 can you talk about how you became aware 1192 00:40:55,829 --> 00:40:54,319 of the case 1193 00:40:58,150 --> 00:40:55,839 started studying it to the point where 1194 00:40:58,870 --> 00:40:58,160 you then put out again another great 1195 00:41:02,550 --> 00:40:58,880 paper 1196 00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:02,560 on such an important case yeah i'm i'm 1197 00:41:06,390 --> 00:41:03,200 glad 1198 00:41:07,990 --> 00:41:06,400 that we are seeing this this particular 1199 00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:08,000 case coming forward uh 1200 00:41:12,710 --> 00:41:10,800 i think it it has been pretty much 1201 00:41:13,109 --> 00:41:12,720 low-key it was not really discussed a 1202 00:41:16,550 --> 00:41:13,119 lot 1203 00:41:18,390 --> 00:41:16,560 uh you know and and i'm complete we're 1204 00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:18,400 completely aware of all these 1205 00:41:22,390 --> 00:41:20,480 alternate hypotheses that people put 1206 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:22,400 together uh and want to assemble for 1207 00:41:25,910 --> 00:41:23,200 that and 1208 00:41:28,309 --> 00:41:25,920 let me speak to that as well so how how 1209 00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:28,319 did we become involved in it well 1210 00:41:32,470 --> 00:41:31,200 what happened was that one of us uh 1211 00:41:34,790 --> 00:41:32,480 morgan bell 1212 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:34,800 uh who is a part of su and one of the 1213 00:41:38,309 --> 00:41:35,599 founding 1214 00:41:40,390 --> 00:41:38,319 board officers like i am and uh robert 1215 00:41:43,829 --> 00:41:40,400 powell and two other gentlemen 1216 00:41:47,430 --> 00:41:43,839 uh we he he was the state director 1217 00:41:50,790 --> 00:41:47,440 uh also of mufon in florida 1218 00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:50,800 and one of his contacts 1219 00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:54,240 apparently got wind of this uh through 1220 00:41:57,990 --> 00:41:56,880 a pilot that was located in miami 1221 00:42:02,069 --> 00:41:58,000 florida 1222 00:42:04,790 --> 00:42:02,079 he was uh this was a also a a 1223 00:42:05,349 --> 00:42:04,800 customs and border protection pilot 1224 00:42:08,710 --> 00:42:05,359 right 1225 00:42:11,190 --> 00:42:08,720 and apparently this pilot in miami 1226 00:42:11,750 --> 00:42:11,200 got it from the actual pilot who was 1227 00:42:15,190 --> 00:42:11,760 actually 1228 00:42:15,990 --> 00:42:15,200 located in in puerto rico sure so i'm 1229 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:16,000 we're taught now 1230 00:42:19,109 --> 00:42:18,160 talking to this pilot who was a friend 1231 00:42:22,150 --> 00:42:19,119 of 1232 00:42:25,589 --> 00:42:22,160 and the the big push by the pilot 1233 00:42:28,390 --> 00:42:25,599 in uh in puerto rico was he didn't 1234 00:42:29,670 --> 00:42:28,400 he wanted this to be studied because he 1235 00:42:31,750 --> 00:42:29,680 didn't know what it was 1236 00:42:33,670 --> 00:42:31,760 and he wanted to be treated 1237 00:42:35,589 --> 00:42:33,680 scientifically if you would 1238 00:42:36,950 --> 00:42:35,599 and he knew that he couldn't get it they 1239 00:42:38,870 --> 00:42:36,960 had already attempted to take it up 1240 00:42:40,550 --> 00:42:38,880 through the the borderland uh the 1241 00:42:42,150 --> 00:42:40,560 homeland security chain and they didn't 1242 00:42:44,710 --> 00:42:42,160 want anything to do with it 1243 00:42:46,630 --> 00:42:44,720 also they also they also took the video 1244 00:42:47,829 --> 00:42:46,640 over to air force intelligence 1245 00:42:49,990 --> 00:42:47,839 and they said well we don't do that 1246 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:50,000 stuff anymore and we're not interested 1247 00:42:53,430 --> 00:42:51,760 and we're going like wow you're not 1248 00:42:57,910 --> 00:42:53,440 interested in that okay 1249 00:43:01,510 --> 00:42:57,920 okay so our our job was to first off i'd 1250 00:43:04,550 --> 00:43:01,520 authenticate that it was legitimately a 1251 00:43:07,030 --> 00:43:04,560 a cbp plane that was actually 1252 00:43:08,710 --> 00:43:07,040 and it's a legit video okay right yeah 1253 00:43:10,470 --> 00:43:08,720 in this day and age you have to do that 1254 00:43:12,230 --> 00:43:10,480 you know check to authenticate it and 1255 00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:12,240 make sure that it's accurate 1256 00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:16,079 so what happened was that again morgan 1257 00:43:19,589 --> 00:43:18,000 actually went and met with a pilot and 1258 00:43:22,470 --> 00:43:19,599 was able to uh 1259 00:43:23,109 --> 00:43:22,480 you know get the uh the video released 1260 00:43:26,790 --> 00:43:23,119 and 1261 00:43:28,870 --> 00:43:26,800 then 1262 00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:28,880 what we did is you know created a team 1263 00:43:32,069 --> 00:43:30,960 of us to be a five people to be able to 1264 00:43:33,990 --> 00:43:32,079 go and to start like 1265 00:43:35,670 --> 00:43:34,000 breaking it down studying it and various 1266 00:43:37,349 --> 00:43:35,680 other things and so we 1267 00:43:39,030 --> 00:43:37,359 you know again robert powell started 1268 00:43:40,710 --> 00:43:39,040 going after the foias to be able to 1269 00:43:42,950 --> 00:43:40,720 confirm that number one 1270 00:43:44,309 --> 00:43:42,960 was there an aircraft that was in the 1271 00:43:46,950 --> 00:43:44,319 area we also 1272 00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:46,960 had radar data that we were collecting 1273 00:43:52,069 --> 00:43:48,480 from the faa 1274 00:43:53,750 --> 00:43:52,079 so and the faa we could look at the 1275 00:43:56,790 --> 00:43:53,760 actual identification of the 1276 00:43:59,430 --> 00:43:56,800 aircraft as it comes on the radar 1277 00:43:59,990 --> 00:43:59,440 and you can confirm that it was it was 1278 00:44:03,030 --> 00:44:00,000 definitely 1279 00:44:05,109 --> 00:44:03,040 a cbp plane uh 1280 00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:05,119 registered plane and then we were able 1281 00:44:09,670 --> 00:44:06,480 to get its complete 1282 00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:09,680 movement pattern and little didn't we 1283 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:11,040 know but you know we went after 1284 00:44:13,510 --> 00:44:12,960 additional radar data and we were able 1285 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:13,520 to get 1286 00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:15,599 the the fact that prior just prior to 1287 00:44:20,390 --> 00:44:16,960 that we got 1288 00:44:21,990 --> 00:44:20,400 over 50 hits of an object that was doing 1289 00:44:25,190 --> 00:44:22,000 incredible maneuvers 1290 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:25,200 just off that coastline in that area and 1291 00:44:28,390 --> 00:44:25,920 so 1292 00:44:30,390 --> 00:44:28,400 you know i mean it was making incredible 1293 00:44:32,390 --> 00:44:30,400 uh you know mind-boggling 1294 00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:32,400 perky jerky felt like the kickback you 1295 00:44:36,790 --> 00:44:33,680 know was you know sure 1296 00:44:39,589 --> 00:44:36,800 yeah kind of emotions out in the water 1297 00:44:40,230 --> 00:44:39,599 uh just prior to that and then suddenly 1298 00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:40,240 it goes 1299 00:44:43,910 --> 00:44:42,480 off and you don't see that anymore they 1300 00:44:46,630 --> 00:44:43,920 don't track it anymore 1301 00:44:48,150 --> 00:44:46,640 and then you have right then this object 1302 00:44:50,790 --> 00:44:48,160 coming in toward 1303 00:44:52,950 --> 00:44:50,800 the uh the airport okay and that's the 1304 00:44:55,030 --> 00:44:52,960 rafael hernandez airport 1305 00:44:56,710 --> 00:44:55,040 and so now you can say well maybe 1306 00:44:58,870 --> 00:44:56,720 there's a connection between that object 1307 00:45:01,430 --> 00:44:58,880 that's doing this incredible minot 1308 00:45:02,309 --> 00:45:01,440 movers and the tic tac-like motions now 1309 00:45:05,510 --> 00:45:02,319 that's potentially 1310 00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:05,520 coming toward and so you have this 1311 00:45:11,109 --> 00:45:09,040 uh this uh cut this cbp it's a dash 1312 00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:11,119 eight aircraft that's taking off 1313 00:45:14,150 --> 00:45:12,720 it's late at night it's nine o'clock in 1314 00:45:17,829 --> 00:45:14,160 the evening on 1315 00:45:19,829 --> 00:45:17,839 uh april 25th uh 1316 00:45:20,950 --> 00:45:19,839 so it's nighttime there's a full moon 1317 00:45:23,829 --> 00:45:20,960 out uh 1318 00:45:25,109 --> 00:45:23,839 it's kind of 80 degrees at night and 1319 00:45:25,589 --> 00:45:25,119 they're taking off to go on their 1320 00:45:28,790 --> 00:45:25,599 regular 1321 00:45:30,550 --> 00:45:28,800 routine mission uh of looking for drug 1322 00:45:32,390 --> 00:45:30,560 smugglers and various other kinds of 1323 00:45:35,270 --> 00:45:32,400 things that come into puerto rico 1324 00:45:37,109 --> 00:45:35,280 and it's when they when they take off 1325 00:45:38,309 --> 00:45:37,119 and they were cleared for the takeoff 1326 00:45:40,309 --> 00:45:38,319 that they're looking up and they're 1327 00:45:42,630 --> 00:45:40,319 seeing a light that's coming 1328 00:45:44,069 --> 00:45:42,640 in from the water and there's they're 1329 00:45:45,670 --> 00:45:44,079 immediately like concerned like 1330 00:45:47,270 --> 00:45:45,680 that's where they're going to be heading 1331 00:45:49,190 --> 00:45:47,280 so they can't have 1332 00:45:50,550 --> 00:45:49,200 air traffic control i said we thought 1333 00:45:51,190 --> 00:45:50,560 you were you know we were you were 1334 00:45:54,069 --> 00:45:51,200 cleared 1335 00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:54,079 to take off but here's this object and 1336 00:45:56,790 --> 00:45:54,720 you know 1337 00:45:59,430 --> 00:45:56,800 and sure enough they're looking at it 1338 00:46:01,510 --> 00:45:59,440 and saying well we see the light too 1339 00:46:03,349 --> 00:46:01,520 right so now you've got this lighted 1340 00:46:07,109 --> 00:46:03,359 object right 1341 00:46:10,710 --> 00:46:07,119 well uh they go now doing a circle 1342 00:46:12,390 --> 00:46:10,720 around the object once and they 1343 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:12,400 almost come back to the point where they 1344 00:46:17,270 --> 00:46:14,560 are they they took off of the 1345 00:46:18,150 --> 00:46:17,280 the runway right so they made one 1346 00:46:20,870 --> 00:46:18,160 complete circle 1347 00:46:23,910 --> 00:46:20,880 watching this object and guess what the 1348 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:23,920 light then suddenly goes off 1349 00:46:28,309 --> 00:46:27,359 now okay the light goes off and it's 1350 00:46:30,630 --> 00:46:28,319 that point 1351 00:46:31,990 --> 00:46:30,640 where they start the video clip and they 1352 00:46:34,710 --> 00:46:32,000 the the pilot 1353 00:46:36,069 --> 00:46:34,720 contacts the uh they have two people in 1354 00:46:37,349 --> 00:46:36,079 the back of the airport there's actually 1355 00:46:39,670 --> 00:46:37,359 a four passengers 1356 00:46:41,829 --> 00:46:39,680 uh uh aboard the dash eight you know the 1357 00:46:43,349 --> 00:46:41,839 pilot the co-pilot and you have a radar 1358 00:46:45,990 --> 00:46:43,359 guy and you also have 1359 00:46:47,750 --> 00:46:46,000 a thermal imaging camera operator right 1360 00:46:50,470 --> 00:46:47,760 so the thermal imaging 1361 00:46:52,069 --> 00:46:50,480 camera operator turns on his equipment 1362 00:46:55,349 --> 00:46:52,079 and he starts to now track 1363 00:46:56,950 --> 00:46:55,359 this object uh using the thermal camera 1364 00:46:59,030 --> 00:46:56,960 which makes it look like daylight 1365 00:47:00,550 --> 00:46:59,040 so he's able to track it and he's moving 1366 00:47:03,109 --> 00:47:00,560 the camera around 1367 00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:03,119 trying to follow it as they now circle 1368 00:47:08,710 --> 00:47:05,200 around again 1369 00:47:10,710 --> 00:47:08,720 and but they don't do a complete circle 1370 00:47:12,230 --> 00:47:10,720 and what i'm trying to get at is a lot 1371 00:47:14,630 --> 00:47:12,240 of people think that well 1372 00:47:15,990 --> 00:47:14,640 you know there's a parabolic of you know 1373 00:47:19,270 --> 00:47:16,000 the parallax effect 1374 00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:19,280 that if you're going and you're if if i 1375 00:47:21,990 --> 00:47:21,280 had you positioned there and i go around 1376 00:47:25,270 --> 00:47:22,000 you 1377 00:47:27,990 --> 00:47:25,280 right and we 1378 00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:28,000 we took that into effect in the context 1379 00:47:31,270 --> 00:47:28,559 of 1380 00:47:32,309 --> 00:47:31,280 you know the object and knowing that 1381 00:47:35,670 --> 00:47:32,319 wait a minute 1382 00:47:36,549 --> 00:47:35,680 uh do we have any they didn't turn on 1383 00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:36,559 the laser 1384 00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:39,200 target illuminator aboard the west cam 1385 00:47:42,950 --> 00:47:40,800 camera it's not a flear 1386 00:47:44,390 --> 00:47:42,960 it's a west cam camera a thermal imaging 1387 00:47:46,790 --> 00:47:44,400 camera right 1388 00:47:48,230 --> 00:47:46,800 it's a competitor to flare flare is a 1389 00:47:50,549 --> 00:47:48,240 company by the way yes 1390 00:47:53,030 --> 00:47:50,559 not a you know it's like me talking and 1391 00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:53,040 say well did you use xerox to make uh 1392 00:48:01,829 --> 00:47:54,079 you know 1393 00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:01,839 flare it's not a flare it's westcam 1394 00:48:06,069 --> 00:48:03,760 camera made by l3 1395 00:48:06,950 --> 00:48:06,079 right it's a thermal imaging camera but 1396 00:48:10,230 --> 00:48:06,960 anyway so 1397 00:48:12,309 --> 00:48:10,240 they track it now they go around partly 1398 00:48:13,910 --> 00:48:12,319 but then what happens is that they see 1399 00:48:16,790 --> 00:48:13,920 the the object is now 1400 00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:16,800 apparently like going in the water and 1401 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:18,079 at that point it 1402 00:48:21,589 --> 00:48:19,599 you know i'll tell you that in a second 1403 00:48:23,030 --> 00:48:21,599 it comes up out of the water and does 1404 00:48:26,309 --> 00:48:23,040 some interesting things but 1405 00:48:28,309 --> 00:48:26,319 they're now heading south east they've 1406 00:48:30,309 --> 00:48:28,319 they've gone off on a southwest they're 1407 00:48:31,910 --> 00:48:30,319 not doing this circle anymore right 1408 00:48:33,750 --> 00:48:31,920 and it's at that point you know when 1409 00:48:36,150 --> 00:48:33,760 it's doing that you can start to make 1410 00:48:38,549 --> 00:48:36,160 out the actual speed of the object 1411 00:48:39,829 --> 00:48:38,559 because you have some reference points 1412 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:39,839 for example we see 1413 00:48:47,270 --> 00:48:43,680 when we did we broke it into 7027 frames 1414 00:48:51,030 --> 00:48:47,280 and looked at individual frames of that 1415 00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:51,040 and we looked at each pixel in the frame 1416 00:48:54,790 --> 00:48:52,960 and we were breaking it down by each 1417 00:48:55,670 --> 00:48:54,800 pixel each little cell of that 1418 00:48:57,910 --> 00:48:55,680 photograph 1419 00:48:59,750 --> 00:48:57,920 if you would that frame yeah and and you 1420 00:49:00,870 --> 00:48:59,760 could make out that it goes behind a 1421 00:49:03,030 --> 00:49:00,880 telephone pole 1422 00:49:04,549 --> 00:49:03,040 well that gave you a references in terms 1423 00:49:07,349 --> 00:49:04,559 of its distance 1424 00:49:09,030 --> 00:49:07,359 and it also gives you a reference point 1425 00:49:10,950 --> 00:49:09,040 for its size 1426 00:49:12,790 --> 00:49:10,960 so then we can estimate that it was size 1427 00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:12,800 roughly three to five feet in diameter 1428 00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:14,079 at least the thermal 1429 00:49:18,309 --> 00:49:16,800 aspect of that yes you know you have to 1430 00:49:20,150 --> 00:49:18,319 keep that in mind you're not looking at 1431 00:49:23,270 --> 00:49:20,160 a visible target you're looking at 1432 00:49:26,390 --> 00:49:23,280 heat yeah and so in this case 1433 00:49:29,030 --> 00:49:26,400 in the video when it's black it's hot 1434 00:49:30,230 --> 00:49:29,040 it's hotter than what it would be white 1435 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:30,240 so 1436 00:49:34,390 --> 00:49:32,720 looking at thermal images which gives 1437 00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:34,400 you thermal contrast the difference 1438 00:49:37,589 --> 00:49:35,040 between 1439 00:49:39,990 --> 00:49:37,599 and it measures up to 1 100 of the 1440 00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:40,000 degree difference 1441 00:49:43,030 --> 00:49:42,160 in terms of a color range that goes from 1442 00:49:45,030 --> 00:49:43,040 like white 1443 00:49:46,470 --> 00:49:45,040 up to black and all the shades of gray 1444 00:49:48,790 --> 00:49:46,480 in between yeah 1445 00:49:50,390 --> 00:49:48,800 so we did that kind of like level of 1446 00:49:51,030 --> 00:49:50,400 scrutiny on this thing looking at 1447 00:49:53,109 --> 00:49:51,040 individual 1448 00:49:55,190 --> 00:49:53,119 pixels and the colors to be able to come 1449 00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:55,200 up with the the actual 1450 00:49:59,750 --> 00:49:57,680 computation of the temperature of it and 1451 00:50:01,030 --> 00:49:59,760 we came up to it it's roughly 104 1452 00:50:02,710 --> 00:50:01,040 degrees temperature 1453 00:50:04,790 --> 00:50:02,720 not all the time but at different points 1454 00:50:08,069 --> 00:50:04,800 of the the video we're going to 1455 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:08,079 really get black and uh and then we 1456 00:50:10,790 --> 00:50:09,599 could track the speed of the object 1457 00:50:13,589 --> 00:50:10,800 which was roughly 1458 00:50:15,589 --> 00:50:13,599 you know about 80 to 85 miles an hour 1459 00:50:17,589 --> 00:50:15,599 and you also see it going into the water 1460 00:50:19,589 --> 00:50:17,599 at about 100 miles an hour 1461 00:50:21,270 --> 00:50:19,599 and then moves underneath the water it's 1462 00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:21,280 still about roughly 80 1463 00:50:25,030 --> 00:50:23,440 miles per hour but it slows down to 1464 00:50:27,510 --> 00:50:25,040 about 40 miles per hour 1465 00:50:28,950 --> 00:50:27,520 it comes up out of the water and you see 1466 00:50:30,309 --> 00:50:28,960 even when it was underneath the water 1467 00:50:31,910 --> 00:50:30,319 you see that this like 1468 00:50:34,230 --> 00:50:31,920 indication of it moving through the 1469 00:50:35,910 --> 00:50:34,240 water yeah it's like a white kind of 1470 00:50:38,309 --> 00:50:35,920 like thing and that 1471 00:50:39,190 --> 00:50:38,319 comes up we called it a bernoulli hump 1472 00:50:41,910 --> 00:50:39,200 because 1473 00:50:42,390 --> 00:50:41,920 if you have some water displaced it 1474 00:50:44,790 --> 00:50:42,400 actually 1475 00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:44,800 uh makes the water a little bit the 1476 00:50:49,270 --> 00:50:46,319 temperature will change 1477 00:50:50,150 --> 00:50:49,280 and and so it gets cooler as it's thrown 1478 00:50:52,630 --> 00:50:50,160 up 1479 00:50:54,549 --> 00:50:52,640 and so you see that happening the cooler 1480 00:50:56,150 --> 00:50:54,559 you also saw a splash which we could 1481 00:50:57,750 --> 00:50:56,160 look at the individual pictures 1482 00:50:59,349 --> 00:50:57,760 so we know that we know that it went 1483 00:51:00,230 --> 00:50:59,359 into the water it actually created a 1484 00:51:02,870 --> 00:51:00,240 splash 1485 00:51:04,309 --> 00:51:02,880 wow and then you also see it kind of 1486 00:51:05,270 --> 00:51:04,319 like moving up and then it comes out of 1487 00:51:07,430 --> 00:51:05,280 the water 1488 00:51:09,430 --> 00:51:07,440 and then you see it get really really 1489 00:51:10,549 --> 00:51:09,440 black the the temperature gets really 1490 00:51:13,349 --> 00:51:10,559 really hot 1491 00:51:13,829 --> 00:51:13,359 if you would hotter than you know normal 1492 00:51:16,870 --> 00:51:13,839 yeah 1493 00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:16,880 what it had been and then suddenly it 1494 00:51:20,950 --> 00:51:19,760 it you see it split into two identical 1495 00:51:23,030 --> 00:51:20,960 objects 1496 00:51:24,309 --> 00:51:23,040 uh which would indicate that it's you 1497 00:51:26,790 --> 00:51:24,319 know it's a separate 1498 00:51:28,230 --> 00:51:26,800 thermal signature right yeah you know so 1499 00:51:28,870 --> 00:51:28,240 i mean it's another object that's the 1500 00:51:31,270 --> 00:51:28,880 same 1501 00:51:32,230 --> 00:51:31,280 and then it goes off and one goes like 1502 00:51:34,309 --> 00:51:32,240 underneath the water 1503 00:51:35,910 --> 00:51:34,319 and then the other one hangs up a little 1504 00:51:37,430 --> 00:51:35,920 bit and you see it go in the water and 1505 00:51:38,309 --> 00:51:37,440 then you see the camera like looking 1506 00:51:41,190 --> 00:51:38,319 around and 1507 00:51:43,030 --> 00:51:41,200 by this time that that customs and 1508 00:51:43,750 --> 00:51:43,040 border protection plane is like nine 1509 00:51:46,630 --> 00:51:43,760 miles 1510 00:51:47,589 --> 00:51:46,640 you know down south looking at the 1511 00:51:49,670 --> 00:51:47,599 object 1512 00:51:51,750 --> 00:51:49,680 wow and it's not going in a circle 1513 00:51:53,670 --> 00:51:51,760 around it at all 1514 00:51:55,589 --> 00:51:53,680 so you don't have the parallax effect 1515 00:51:56,790 --> 00:51:55,599 and we we did everything from looking at 1516 00:51:59,270 --> 00:51:56,800 the wind speeds 1517 00:52:01,190 --> 00:51:59,280 at the altitude that it was uh on that 1518 00:52:02,549 --> 00:52:01,200 particular day it was about like 18 1519 00:52:05,430 --> 00:52:02,559 miles an hour 1520 00:52:07,109 --> 00:52:05,440 uh it was heading toward the uh the west 1521 00:52:10,390 --> 00:52:07,119 and we could compute that 1522 00:52:12,950 --> 00:52:10,400 uh and so vinnie let me tell you we 1523 00:52:14,870 --> 00:52:12,960 we did all this for two years i mean we 1524 00:52:17,750 --> 00:52:14,880 studied every aspect of weather 1525 00:52:18,230 --> 00:52:17,760 the radar the the whole thing seven 1526 00:52:21,670 --> 00:52:18,240 thousand 1527 00:52:24,710 --> 00:52:21,680 twenty sevens you know uh things and 1528 00:52:27,430 --> 00:52:24,720 we couldn't come up with an explanation 1529 00:52:28,790 --> 00:52:27,440 it's it we eliminated the parallax and 1530 00:52:30,069 --> 00:52:28,800 here's the other part of the problem a 1531 00:52:32,390 --> 00:52:30,079 lot of people like to like 1532 00:52:33,589 --> 00:52:32,400 want to make and say it's a blue and the 1533 00:52:35,349 --> 00:52:33,599 black was just 1534 00:52:37,910 --> 00:52:35,359 hanging up there above that little 1535 00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:37,920 airport well first off 1536 00:52:42,870 --> 00:52:40,880 what it's not a mylar balloon because we 1537 00:52:45,829 --> 00:52:42,880 compared it to we actually had 1538 00:52:46,710 --> 00:52:45,839 another west cam camera and we did tests 1539 00:52:49,030 --> 00:52:46,720 of taking 1540 00:52:49,990 --> 00:52:49,040 using that same camera of a mylar 1541 00:52:52,390 --> 00:52:50,000 balloon 1542 00:52:54,470 --> 00:52:52,400 wow and it doesn't match the thermal 1543 00:52:56,069 --> 00:52:54,480 signature doesn't match at all 1544 00:52:58,829 --> 00:52:56,079 and that's what a lot of people will 1545 00:53:00,069 --> 00:52:58,839 just go after and say it's uh it's 1546 00:53:01,750 --> 00:53:00,079 parallax 1547 00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:01,760 and then they want to prove that point 1548 00:53:05,990 --> 00:53:04,079 right yes we're stupid we didn't 1549 00:53:06,710 --> 00:53:06,000 consider parallax we did consider 1550 00:53:10,069 --> 00:53:06,720 parallax 1551 00:53:11,589 --> 00:53:10,079 sure of course we also considered mylar 1552 00:53:13,270 --> 00:53:11,599 balloons that's why we had a thermal 1553 00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:13,280 camera taking a look at that 1554 00:53:17,510 --> 00:53:15,359 and we looked at the wind speed and the 1555 00:53:20,710 --> 00:53:17,520 problem is that a lot of people will say 1556 00:53:23,270 --> 00:53:20,720 here's the aircraft right and then 1557 00:53:23,829 --> 00:53:23,280 you have the object that is being 1558 00:53:26,230 --> 00:53:23,839 somewhere 1559 00:53:27,670 --> 00:53:26,240 between that and the ground because if 1560 00:53:29,190 --> 00:53:27,680 you look at the metadata that's 1561 00:53:31,670 --> 00:53:29,200 associated with that 1562 00:53:32,790 --> 00:53:31,680 the actual reticule is actually 1563 00:53:35,910 --> 00:53:32,800 capturing the 1564 00:53:39,270 --> 00:53:35,920 the location of the ground it points to 1565 00:53:42,390 --> 00:53:39,280 so somewhere along from that aircraft 1566 00:53:45,910 --> 00:53:42,400 down to the ground is where that object 1567 00:53:47,750 --> 00:53:45,920 actually is and if if if i place it down 1568 00:53:49,990 --> 00:53:47,760 at the end 1569 00:53:51,670 --> 00:53:50,000 and say that i'm doing parallax then it 1570 00:53:53,589 --> 00:53:51,680 means it's not moving at all 1571 00:53:55,030 --> 00:53:53,599 and basically i ain't going around it 1572 00:53:57,270 --> 00:53:55,040 right 1573 00:53:59,030 --> 00:53:57,280 but if i move that and say that it's a 1574 00:54:01,430 --> 00:53:59,040 little bit closer 1575 00:54:02,069 --> 00:54:01,440 than uh the ground or something of that 1576 00:54:03,750 --> 00:54:02,079 nature 1577 00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:03,760 then i'm saying that well wait a minute 1578 00:54:05,910 --> 00:54:05,280 it might have a different pattern and 1579 00:54:09,990 --> 00:54:05,920 we've 1580 00:54:11,990 --> 00:54:10,000 have you actually take a look at our 1581 00:54:13,829 --> 00:54:12,000 our where we project that this thing 1582 00:54:15,589 --> 00:54:13,839 went and and the pilots and everybody 1583 00:54:19,030 --> 00:54:15,599 seemed to think that it went 1584 00:54:21,829 --> 00:54:19,040 and uh and so 1585 00:54:22,470 --> 00:54:21,839 no they position it always at this point 1586 00:54:25,030 --> 00:54:22,480 a little 1587 00:54:26,710 --> 00:54:25,040 point and say that it didn't move you 1588 00:54:29,750 --> 00:54:26,720 know hardly at all 1589 00:54:33,589 --> 00:54:29,760 of course and they they don't look at 1590 00:54:35,270 --> 00:54:33,599 mylar balloons in thermal 1591 00:54:37,270 --> 00:54:35,280 and neither do they consider that the 1592 00:54:38,390 --> 00:54:37,280 pilot said and the control tower said it 1593 00:54:41,510 --> 00:54:38,400 had a light 1594 00:54:42,309 --> 00:54:41,520 that went out of course and neither do 1595 00:54:44,150 --> 00:54:42,319 they consider 1596 00:54:47,910 --> 00:54:44,160 the fact that there were 50 hits of 1597 00:54:49,510 --> 00:54:47,920 radar just off the coastline 1598 00:54:51,750 --> 00:54:49,520 i mean that's what kind of really gets 1599 00:54:53,670 --> 00:54:51,760 me as well but have those radar data 1600 00:54:55,910 --> 00:54:53,680 points been made public at all 1601 00:54:57,670 --> 00:54:55,920 yes we we actually published it i mean 1602 00:55:00,069 --> 00:54:57,680 we have the radar data we've we've 1603 00:55:01,670 --> 00:55:00,079 actually published it in our paper uh we 1604 00:55:02,230 --> 00:55:01,680 can provide it to anybody that wants it 1605 00:55:03,829 --> 00:55:02,240 but i mean 1606 00:55:06,069 --> 00:55:03,839 again that's that's what i'm trying to 1607 00:55:08,150 --> 00:55:06,079 get at is like nobody bothers to do the 1608 00:55:10,150 --> 00:55:08,160 complete homework on the case 1609 00:55:11,750 --> 00:55:10,160 they go after it's a balloon and i'm 1610 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:11,760 gonna put it it's a balloon 1611 00:55:15,030 --> 00:55:13,040 yeah and they eradicate some of the 1612 00:55:16,230 --> 00:55:15,040 vital information to fit their narrative 1613 00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:16,240 that's what i see 1614 00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:21,119 yeah there you go 1615 00:55:25,270 --> 00:55:23,200 that's great thank you i'm going to just 1616 00:55:26,470 --> 00:55:25,280 just hold you for one more question 1617 00:55:28,870 --> 00:55:26,480 and i'm not sure if you can tell me 1618 00:55:31,030 --> 00:55:28,880 about it um i recently 1619 00:55:33,190 --> 00:55:31,040 i mean i say recently i saw this talk 1620 00:55:35,270 --> 00:55:33,200 you did back in 2019 about 1621 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:35,280 a couple of cases that we've not heard 1622 00:55:38,549 --> 00:55:36,720 much about and this is the uss 1623 00:55:41,030 --> 00:55:38,559 bainbridge in the uss boxer 1624 00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:41,040 are you able to talk about those cases 1625 00:55:44,630 --> 00:55:42,720 at all so 1626 00:55:47,190 --> 00:55:44,640 lou was the one that told me about those 1627 00:55:50,309 --> 00:55:47,200 okay this is i mean all right okay 1628 00:55:50,950 --> 00:55:50,319 he was the guy right so lou told me 1629 00:55:53,270 --> 00:55:50,960 about them 1630 00:55:54,069

challenge that we had 1651 00:56:39,589 --> 00:56:38,799 was that you know with the exception of 1652 00:56:41,990 --> 00:56:39,599 the nimitz 1653 00:56:42,950 --> 00:56:42,000 crew coming forward we weren't able to 1654 00:56:44,950 --> 00:56:42,960 get any of these 1655 00:56:46,230 --> 00:56:44,960 people to come forward to talk about 1656 00:56:48,069 --> 00:56:46,240 those incidents 1657 00:56:49,750 --> 00:56:48,079 and that's that's what we really had to 1658 00:56:51,349 --> 00:56:49,760 rely on 1659 00:56:53,430 --> 00:56:51,359 could we get anybody that would come 1660 00:56:55,510 --> 00:56:53,440 forward with any kind of 1661 00:56:56,630 --> 00:56:55,520 supportive evidence if you would of 1662 00:56:58,150 --> 00:56:56,640 course and 1663 00:57:00,710 -->

we we didn't get any uh anybody 1670 00:57:15,030 --> 00:57:13,359 that was willing to come forward so we 1671 00:57:17,349 --> 00:57:15,040 pretty much just dropped it 1672 00:57:18,950 --> 00:57:17,359 uh we're still interested i'd love to be 1673 00:57:20,069 --> 00:57:18,960 able to get somebody to talk about those 1674 00:57:21,349 --> 00:57:20,079 incidents 1675 00:57:22,789 --> 00:57:21,359 are you made aware of what they looked 1676 00:57:24,950 --> 00:57:22,799 like the craft that were involved were 1677 00:57:26,309 --> 00:57:24,960 they tic tacs were they drone shaped was 1678 00:57:29,910 --> 00:57:26,319 it relate you know similar to the 1679 00:57:33,510 --> 00:57:29,920 omaha or no and and let me also 1680 00:57:36,710 --> 00:57:33,520 clarify that uh that you know 1681 00:57:37,030 --> 00:57:36,720 it's been through leaks if you would of 1682 00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:37,040 uh 1683 00:57:41,510 --> 00:57:38,880 like even with the omaha incidents of 1684 00:57:45,510 --> 00:57:41,520 these 1685 00:57:47,430 --> 00:57:45,520 and and i'll be honest with you 1686 00:57:49,270 --> 00:57:47,440 i don't i don't agree with moving them 1687 00:57:50,870 --> 00:57:49,280 through journalists i agree with 1688 00:57:52,950 --> 00:57:50,880 them going being scientifically 1689 00:57:55,349 --> 00:57:52,960 scrutinized first absolutely yeah 1690 00:57:57,990 --> 00:57:55,359 uh and then you come out with a 1691 00:57:59,990 --> 00:57:58,000 journalist making statements right so 1692 00:58:01,430 --> 00:58:00,000 you know the fact that corbella and nap 1693 00:58:02,630 --> 00:58:01,440 want to be able to promote it without 1694 00:58:05,670 --> 00:58:02,640 scientific study 1695 00:58:07,430 --> 00:58:05,680 i i don't agree with i mean in their 1696 00:58:08,789 --> 00:58:07,440 defense slightly in their defense they 1697 00:58:11,109 --> 00:58:08,799 do say that they have given 1698 00:58:13,349 --> 00:58:11,119 these bits of data to various people to 1699 00:58:14,950 --> 00:58:13,359 analyze behind the scenes they've not 1700 00:58:16,390 --> 00:58:14,960 given out names or anything but they're 1701 00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:16,400 they're saying that they are doing their 1702 00:58:19,829 --> 00:58:17,599 due diligence 1703 00:58:21,670 --> 00:58:19,839 do you feel that they're not i mean it's 1704 00:58:24,630 --> 00:58:21,680 a grey area isn't it 1705 00:58:25,829 --> 00:58:24,640 let's put it this way uh scu as you when 1706 00:58:27,829 --> 00:58:25,839 we get something 1707 00:58:29,670 --> 00:58:27,839 we're gonna do our our best to be able 1708 00:58:31,109 --> 00:58:29,680 to analyze it and study it and a lot of 1709 00:58:32,390 --> 00:58:31,119 us have been in this phenomena for a 1710 00:58:35,109 --> 00:58:32,400 very long time 1711 00:58:35,990 --> 00:58:35,119 sure i don't know who they're going to 1712 00:58:38,470 --> 00:58:36,000 are they are 1713 00:58:40,390 --> 00:58:38,480 they doing peer reviews are they we did 1714 00:58:42,789 --> 00:58:40,400 a peer review on the aguadilla case 1715 00:58:44,069 --> 00:58:42,799 that we studied we went to the we 1716 00:58:45,750 --> 00:58:44,079 couldn't find anybody in the united 1717 00:58:46,470 --> 00:58:45,760 states to do it so we went over to the 1718 00:58:52,390 --> 00:58:46,480 french 1719 00:58:53,349 --> 00:58:52,400 team were the ones that helped us out uh 1720 00:58:55,030 --> 00:58:53,359 but 1721 00:58:56,390 --> 00:58:55,040 we're now putting in a peer review 1722 00:58:59,589 --> 00:58:56,400 process and doing it 1723 00:59:00,470 --> 00:58:59,599 ourselves because ultimately uh that 1724 00:59:03,430 --> 00:59:00,480 needs to happen 1725 00:59:04,789 --> 00:59:03,440 but again you know me telling you that i 1726 00:59:06,390 --> 00:59:04,799 gave it to somebody and then that 1727 00:59:07,109 --> 00:59:06,400 somebody looked at it you know do you 1728 00:59:08,950 --> 00:59:07,119 know who they are 1729 00:59:10,390 --> 00:59:08,960 did they like the level of work that 1730 00:59:12,069 --> 00:59:10,400 they did we're 1731 00:59:13,829 --> 00:59:12,079 we're completely transparent about what 1732 00:59:16,390 --> 00:59:13,839 we do yeah oh i mean 1733 00:59:18,549 --> 00:59:16,400 and so who is this non-transparent 1734 00:59:21,829 --> 00:59:18,559 entity that you sent this thing to 1735 00:59:24,309 --> 00:59:21,839 uh and what we see the report 1736 00:59:25,910 --> 00:59:24,319 uh let me you know as you very well know 1737 00:59:26,549 --> 00:59:25,920 if we believed everything that somebody 1738 00:59:28,230 --> 00:59:26,559 says 1739 00:59:29,829 --> 00:59:28,240 without any kind of like evidence to 1740 00:59:31,670 --> 00:59:29,839 support or back it up 1741 00:59:33,030 --> 00:59:31,680 then it's just you know hearsay or it's 1742 00:59:33,829 --> 00:59:33,040 just you know i'm what am i going to 1743 00:59:35,270 --> 00:59:33,839 take your 1744 00:59:37,510 --> 00:59:35,280 you know and believe what you have to 1745 00:59:38,630 --> 00:59:37,520 say uh so 1746 00:59:39,829 --> 00:59:38,640 that's what they're wanting you to do 1747 00:59:40,870 --> 00:59:39,839 and i don't think that that's the right 1748 00:59:44,870 --> 00:59:40,880 way to do it 1749 00:59:47,030 --> 00:59:44,880 no i i completely agree and it 1750 00:59:48,630 --> 00:59:47,040 it's never been made known any of jeremy 1751 00:59:50,069 --> 00:59:48,640 corbell sources who's looked at these 1752 00:59:51,829 --> 00:59:50,079 bits of data so of course a lot of 1753 00:59:54,069 --> 00:59:51,839 people have a lot of skepticism and a 1754 00:59:55,430 --> 00:59:54,079 lot of questions but is this kind of 1755 00:59:57,109 --> 00:59:55,440 is this something you would have looked 1756 00:59:59,030 --> 00:59:57,119 at if jeremy had come to you with these 1757 01:00:00,870 --> 00:59:59,040 cases before making them and that 1758 01:00:02,630 --> 01:00:00,880 there you go jeremy if you ever watch 1759 01:00:06,710 --> 01:00:02,640 this what are you doing 1760 01:00:08,630 --> 01:00:06,720 go and speak to rich in the scu come on 1761 01:00:09,829 -->
