--> 00:02:22,160 watched the discovery channel or history 44 00:02:25,350 --> 00:02:24,000 channel and watch all the ufo 45 00:02:26,710 --> 00:02:25,360 documentaries 46 00:02:29,030 --> 00:02:26,720 uh 47 00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:29,040 so that's how i started off i mean even 48 00:02:33,750 --> 00:02:31,280 when i was younger i suppose 49 00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:33,760 when i was four no i must be six years 50 00:02:37,270 --> 00:02:34,879 old 51 00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:37,280 he had to write a story for school and 52 00:02:41,190 --> 00:02:39,680 my story was about a ufo or an alien 53 00:02:42,070 --> 00:02:41,200 spacecraft that 54 00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:42,080 um 55 00:02:46,869 --> 00:02:44,720 landed in the local woods 56 00:02:49,270 --> 00:02:46,879 and that my friends and i 57 00:02:52,229 --> 00:02:49,280 and a dog discovered it and we went on 58 00:02:55,030 --> 00:02:52,239 an adventure in the alien spaceship so 59 00:02:56,949 --> 00:02:55,040 that's cool that came from but um the 60 00:03:00,070 --> 00:02:56,959 inspiration was there for a 61 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,080 young age um but yeah i mean i guess 62 00:03:05,030 --> 00:03:02,640 when i was older i kind of 63 00:03:08,070 --> 00:03:05,040 fell out of love with it 64 00:03:09,670 --> 00:03:08,080 as i started being pragmatic and 65 00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:09,680 engaging with 66 00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:12,159 what we know i guess is the real world 67 00:03:15,270 --> 00:03:13,280 um yeah so 68 00:03:17,670 --> 00:03:15,280 university 69 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,680 health struggles through a really rare 70 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,959 form of 71 00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:21,120 epilepsy 72 00:03:23,350 --> 00:03:22,000 and 73 00:03:24,550 --> 00:03:23,360 then eventually when i got that under 74 00:03:26,869 --> 00:03:24,560 control 75 00:03:28,550 --> 00:03:26,879 i entered the career of 76 00:03:30,550 --> 00:03:28,560 public affairs and 77 00:03:33,110 --> 00:03:30,560 public relations 78 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:33,120 which is um it's a very very 79 00:03:36,149 --> 00:03:35,200 difficult competitive 80 00:03:37,030 --> 00:03:36,159 world 81 00:03:39,270 --> 00:03:37,040 um 82 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:39,280 so when you go to a big 83 00:03:42,869 --> 00:03:40,080 as 84 00:03:44,869 --> 00:03:42,879 age or communications let's say um 85 00:03:47,750 --> 00:03:44,879 agency in london it's just stacked full 86 00:03:49,030 --> 00:03:47,760 of like oxbridge 87 00:03:50,789 --> 00:03:49,040 graduates 88 00:03:52,229 --> 00:03:50,799 and most of them are looking for a 89 00:03:54,470 --> 00:03:52,239 career in politics they think they're 90 00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,480 going to be the next tony blair or 91 00:03:57,350 --> 00:03:56,560 david cameron 92 00:03:59,830 --> 00:03:57,360 so 93 00:04:02,630 --> 00:03:59,840 i i guess when you're working in that 94 00:04:04,070 --> 00:04:02,640 kind of atmosphere people like that 95 00:04:05,030 --> 00:04:04,080 conspiracies 96 00:04:06,470 --> 00:04:05,040 um 97 00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:06,480 and yeah 98 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,799 they're very much kind of um 99 00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,640 talking about you know westminster 100 00:04:14,470 --> 00:04:12,799 gossip and stuff like that so 101 00:04:16,629 --> 00:04:14,480 i was very very well versed in that 102 00:04:20,310 --> 00:04:16,639 world um 103 00:04:22,069 --> 00:04:20,320 but i think when the core bell 104 00:04:25,270 --> 00:04:22,079 stuff came out 105 00:04:27,189 --> 00:04:25,280 on joe rogan and when 106 00:04:29,749 --> 00:04:27,199 bob lazar re-emerged 107 00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:29,759 i think that's 108 00:04:34,950 --> 00:04:32,479 where my interest ignited again 109 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:34,960 and then obviously tom delange as well i 110 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:37,120 i still find this 111 00:04:43,749 --> 00:04:41,280 really really difficult to digest 112 00:04:47,270 --> 00:04:43,759 i was watching him on joe rogan 113 00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:48,950 look are you okay 114 00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:50,000 um 115 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:52,160 but you know every a lot of the things 116 00:04:57,189 --> 00:04:54,479 that he said came true 117 00:05:00,310 --> 00:04:57,199 um so i no longer scoff 118 00:05:01,909 --> 00:05:00,320 at tom delange and i take everything he 119 00:05:03,749 --> 00:05:01,919 says seriously 120 00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:03,759 i'm not someone who 121 00:05:08,070 --> 00:05:06,639 takes one position or another position 122 00:05:09,189 --> 00:05:08,080 most of the time 123 00:05:12,710 --> 00:05:09,199 i just 124 00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:12,720 listen and i take into account 125 00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,759 for reference and then if something this 126 00:05:20,310 --> 00:05:17,440 is how this is how i kind of treat my 127 00:05:22,550 --> 00:05:20,320 stories as well and if something emerges 128 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:22,560 that kind of like connects to what tom 129 00:05:25,749 --> 00:05:24,880 delonge or someone said earlier 130 00:05:28,230 --> 00:05:25,759 then 131 00:05:29,909 --> 00:05:28,240 that's something that i can use you know 132 00:05:31,270 --> 00:05:29,919 so yeah i just find it really 133 00:05:34,629 --> 00:05:31,280 interesting finding the patterns but 134 00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:34,639 sorry i was i digress um but yeah i mean 135 00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,880 um i became interested in it again 136 00:05:40,469 --> 00:05:39,120 through that kind of stuff um 137 00:05:41,590 --> 00:05:40,479

just being 219 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,199 shocked you know 220 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:29,199 it's yeah it just feels brilliant yeah 221 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,639 it feels really good 222 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,560 no it's good i think it just it does it 223 00:08:35,990 --> 00:08:34,560 shows that you're you're doing the right 224 00:08:37,909 --> 00:08:36,000 thing you're covering the right aspects 225 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:37,919 of the subject and you're writing it in 226 00:08:42,149 --> 00:08:39,039 a very 227 00:08:44,389 --> 00:08:42,159 constructive and thorough way so 228 00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:44,399 yeah i think it's all deserved 229 00:08:48,310 --> 00:08:46,320 um now what i wanted to do was just take 230 00:08:49,990 --> 00:08:48,320 it back to sort of last summer with the 231 00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:50,000 uh the preliminary assessment that came 232 00:08:52,710 --> 00:08:51,279 out um 233 00:08:54,230 --> 00:08:52,720 what were your thoughts leading up to 234 00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:54,240 that because there was i mean there was 235 00:08:58,790 --> 00:08:56,640 a buzz all around the world in fact when 236 00:09:00,470 --> 00:08:58,800 it when it came to the subject did you 237 00:09:02,310 --> 00:09:00,480 feel that buzz did you 238 00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:02,320 heighten your expectations or keep them 239 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:03,600 low and then 240 00:09:07,030 --> 00:09:05,040 following the release what what were 241 00:09:09,750 --> 00:09:07,040 your thoughts afterwards 242 00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:09,760 yeah i thought the media and um others 243 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:11,120 you should know better were just getting 244 00:09:14,230 --> 00:09:12,640 too carried away 245 00:09:16,389 --> 00:09:14,240 um 246 00:09:17,910 --> 00:09:16,399 i think the likes of like brian bender 247 00:09:20,550 --> 00:09:17,920 and some of the people who cover 248 00:09:22,870 --> 00:09:20,560 washington who know 249 00:09:24,790 --> 00:09:22,880 who are used like bureaucratic 250 00:09:27,030 --> 00:09:24,800 curve process and 251 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:27,040 kind of like boring toned down language 252 00:09:30,949 --> 00:09:28,399 that they use that they knew what to 253 00:09:33,829 --> 00:09:30,959 expect but a lot of the other media 254 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:33,839 didn't really and um 255 00:09:39,910 --> 00:09:37,120 i i think that led 256 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:42,150 this kind of sense of 257 00:09:45,509 --> 00:09:44,080 it not living up to what they thought it 258 00:09:46,710 --> 00:09:45,519 was going to be 259 00:09:48,829 --> 00:09:46,720 um 260 00:09:52,230 --> 00:09:48,839 but in actual fact when you do look at 261 00:09:54,710 --> 00:09:52,240 that that report that primary assessment 262 00:09:56,070 --> 00:09:54,720 i mean yes they're using bureaucratic 263 00:09:58,389 --> 00:09:56,080 language but 264 00:10:01,190 --> 00:09:58,399 it's also astonishing they're basically 265 00:10:02,829 --> 00:10:01,200 saying in some instances there are these 266 00:10:06,069 --> 00:10:02,839 craft that 267 00:10:07,990 --> 00:10:06,079 form just beyond 268 00:10:10,310 --> 00:10:08,000 what we what we know of in terms of 269 00:10:12,550 --> 00:10:10,320 physics and technology and i think it's 270 00:10:13,750 --> 00:10:12,560 safe to say now seeing what's happening 271 00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:13,760 with um 272 00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:15,279 with russia and ukraine which is 273 00:10:20,389 --> 00:10:17,760 obviously everyone's mind at the moment 274 00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,399 that russia doesn't have that technology 275 00:10:23,910 --> 00:10:22,480 it doesn't i mean the russian economies 276 00:10:26,150 --> 00:10:23,920 in the state as well if it had that kind 277 00:10:28,230 --> 00:10:26,160 of technology physics don't you think 278 00:10:30,230 --> 00:10:28,240 they would use it for their eco you know 279 00:10:33,110 --> 00:10:30,240 to boost their economy or something of 280 00:10:34,870 --> 00:10:33,120 course they would and in china in term 281 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,880 it kind of copies 282 00:10:38,150 --> 00:10:36,720 um russian technology in terms 283 00:10:39,269 --> 00:10:38,160 especially in terms of the fighter jet 284 00:10:42,150 --> 00:10:39,279 technology 285 00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:42,160 and i mean it's recently been documented 286 00:10:45,590 --> 00:10:43,600 they've actually really struggled with 287 00:10:48,069 --> 00:10:45,600 their jet engines and stuff the next 288 00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:48,079 generation of fighters so 289 00:10:51,750 --> 00:10:50,320 i mean it just seems very very unlikely 290 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:51,760 that they're 291 00:10:56,389 --> 00:10:54,959 gonna have that type of technology to me 292 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,399 um 293 00:11:00,710 --> 00:10:58,880 but yeah i mean i i wasn't i wasn't 294 00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:00,720 really 295 00:11:03,670 --> 00:11:01,680 i i 296 00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:03,680 i was i didn't really feel let down i 297 00:11:07,750 --> 00:11:05,440 just felt that it had a sense of 298 00:11:09,350 --> 00:11:07,760 momentum to it because there were next 299 00:11:10,230 --> 00:11:09,360 steps that were going to be taken so the 300 00:11:12,069 --> 00:11:10,240 hicks 301 00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:12,079 memorandum that was released basically 302 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:13,279 said that there would be follow-on 303 00:11:17,030 --> 00:11:15,120 action yeah um 304 00:11:19,430 --> 00:11:17,040 obviously we know now that that 305 00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:19,440 follow-on action and i think bro melon 306 00:11:23,509 --> 00:11:20,800 and people like that knew at the time it 307 00:11:25,110 --> 00:11:23,519 wasn't going to go far enough because it 308 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:25,120 was just going to be restricted to us 309 00:11:29,350 --> 00:11:26,560 defense ranges 310 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:29,360 for instance um 311 00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:31,440 and also it didn't really seem to cover 312 00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:33,440 the trans medium aspect of the 313 00:11:37,350 --> 00:11:35,120 phenomenon either 314 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,360 so it seemed very very restrictive so 315 00:11:41,430 --> 00:11:39,440 i mean looking back it seemed inevitable 316 00:11:43,269 --> 00:11:41,440 that there would be pushback saying that 317 00:11:46,069 --> 00:11:43,279 memorandum 318 00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:46,079 on the forum activity which led to 319 00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:47,760 aoi msg 320 00:11:50,870 --> 00:11:49,760 wasn't going to be enough so 321 00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:50,880 um 322 00:11:55,110 --> 00:11:52,399 yeah i think that was quite interesting 323 00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:55,120 looking back at it and obviously 324 00:11:58,150 --> 00:11:56,720 you know i think it was in september 325 00:12:01,910 --> 00:11:58,160 that we first heard 326 00:12:02,710 --> 00:12:01,920 rumbles from from congress and gallagher 327 00:12:04,949 --> 00:12:02,720 that 328 00:12:07,030 --> 00:12:04,959 there was neat there needed to be new 329 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:07,040 legislation 330 00:12:10,470 --> 00:12:08,800 with a push from congress to actually 331 00:12:11,430 --> 00:12:10,480 push the ball further 332 00:12:14,389 --> 00:12:11,440 um 333 00:12:17,190 --> 00:12:14,399 into field and obviously you know i 334 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:17,200 think the big the the big 335 00:12:22,150 --> 00:12:19,760 kind of comparison that you can draw is 336 00:12:23,990 --> 00:12:22,160 the fact that there is nothing within 337 00:12:25,990 --> 00:12:24,000 aomsg 338 00:12:29,030 --> 00:12:26,000 um when it was formed back in december 339 00:12:30,870 --> 00:12:29,040 that had an unclassified component to 340 00:12:33,910 --> 00:12:30,880 releasing a report either 341 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:33,920 whereas the new uap office does 342 00:12:37,190 --> 00:12:35,680 yeah it would have seemed like aoi msg 343 00:12:38,389 --> 00:12:37,200 would have just kept things in a highly 344 00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:38,399 classified 345 00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:41,440 annex or or area but at least the new 346 00:12:44,949 --> 00:12:43,040 office does seem to 347 00:12:46,150 --> 00:12:44,959 show that it's trying to do a bit more 348 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,160 and push for a little bit of 349 00:12:51,509 --> 00:12:48,720 transparency um but let's go back to 350 00:12:54,150 --> 00:12:51,519 just after the june 25th assessment and 351 00:12:56,150 --> 00:12:54,160 and over here in the uk we saw 352 00:12:57,350 --> 00:12:56,160 the conversation sparked in the house of 353 00:12:59,750 --> 00:12:57,360 lords 354 00:13:02,790 --> 00:12:59,760 which i found quite disappointing do you 355 00:13:05,350 --> 00:13:02,800 recall that conversation 356 00:13:08,949 --> 00:13:05,360 yes yes i do um 357 00:13:11,269 --> 00:13:08,959 so it was one of the conservative 358 00:13:12,710 --> 00:13:11,279 lords that actually requested 359 00:13:14,629 --> 00:13:12,720 the debate 360 00:13:18,069 --> 00:13:14,639 um 361 00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:20,069 so i mean what you had she had defense 362 00:13:23,590 --> 00:13:22,160 minister barnes goldie 363 00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:23,600 um from the government who was the 364 00:13:28,310 --> 00:13:25,920 government's representative spokesperson 365 00:13:29,910 --> 00:13:28,320 in the lords for that and so yeah it was 366 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,920 lord safarraz who brought up the 367 00:13:31,829 --> 00:13:30,959 question 368 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:31,839 um 369 00:13:39,990 --> 00:13:37,680 plate response basically from 370 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:40,000 the the minister of state 371 00:13:42,550 --> 00:13:41,279 um 372 00:13:44,870 --> 00:13:42,560 i mean it's difficult to know what to 373 00:13:46,710 --> 00:13:44,880 read into that to be fair because 374 00:13:51,509 --> 00:13:46,720 it just 375 00:13:53,350 --> 00:13:51,519 i mean she was answering questions about 376 00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:53,360 the pre-primary 377 00:13:58,310 --> 00:13:55,279 assessment 378 00:14:00,310 --> 00:13:58,320 but now there is good reason to know 379 00:14:01,509 --> 00:14:00,320 you know by the questioning of nick pope 380 00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:01,519 that 381 00:14:05,509 --> 00:14:04,320 the ministry of defense hasn't even read 382 00:14:14,150 --> 00:14:05,519 the 383 00:14:15,509 --> 00:14:14,160 security 384 00:14:18,870 --> 00:14:15,519 and it doesn't see 385 00:14:20,069 --> 00:14:18,880 uap is a threat 386 00:14:22,230 --> 00:14:20,079 how come they haven't read the 387 00:14:23,590 --> 00:14:22,240 classified version of the report 388 00:14:24,870 --> 00:14:23,600 how does that true 389 00:14:26,470 --> 00:14:24,880 it doesn't but it was amazing because 390 00:14:28,629 --> 00:14:26,480 today we had that 391 00:14:30,470 --> 00:14:28,639 answer for that question that was asked 392 00:14:32,069 --> 00:14:30,480 in parliament as well and we actually 393 00:14:33,110 --> 00:14:32,079 got a different response for the first 394 00:14:34,550 --> 00:14:33,120 time in 395 00:14:36,550 --> 00:14:34,560 you know in a long time because the same 396 00:14:38,230 --> 00:14:36,560 boilerplate response was used every time 397 00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:38,240 people were sending letters and things 398 00:14:42,470 --> 00:14:40,800 like that but we actually now got 399 00:14:43,829 --> 00:14:42,480 the fact that they will not discuss any 400 00:14:44,790 --> 00:14:43,839 classified information that's been 401 00:14:47,350 --> 00:14:44,800 shared with 402 00:14:49,110 --> 00:14:47,360 by allies and i thought 403 00:14:51,030 --> 00:14:49,120 it's not the best statement but it 404 00:14:53,590 --> 00:14:51,040 certainly is nice to see a different 405 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:53,600 answer to something after just the same 406 00:14:58,069 --> 00:14:56,320 no national security issues before so i 407 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:58,079 think it's a step in the right direction 408 00:15:00,710 --> 00:14:59,680 even though it's so far from what we 409 00:15:01,670 --> 00:15:00,720 want 410 00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:01,680 you know 411 00:15:04,150 --> 00:15:02,720 yeah 412 00:15:05,590 --> 00:15:04,160 they they sent me to say i think they 413 00:15:07,189 --> 00:15:05,600 certainly were the same response i mean 414 00:15:10,629 --> 00:15:07,199 i asked about it too 415 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,639 many md space person 416 00:15:15,110 --> 00:15:12,720 got slightly flustered because i kept 417 00:15:17,189 --> 00:15:15,120 from pushing and me and they had to pass 418 00:15:19,269 --> 00:15:17,199 me through to someone from the raf 419 00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:19,279 oh really 420 00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,320 they're very good at that they weren't 421 00:15:24,710 --> 00:15:21,920 they're just passing people around until 422 00:15:25,590 --> 00:15:24,720 they actually come up with something 423 00:15:27,189 --> 00:15:25,600 yeah 424 00:15:28,230 --> 00:15:27,199 it is frustrating 425 00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:28,240 but then 426 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:29,120 you know 427 00:15:32,470 --> 00:15:31,279 black 428 00:15:35,189 --> 00:15:32,480 that's someone else who didn't 429 00:15:36,629 --> 00:15:35,199 participate in the debate in the summer 430 00:15:38,230 --> 00:15:36,639 yeah and lord black i mean there's got 431 00:15:40,470 --> 00:15:38,240 to be people within the house of lords 432 00:15:43,030 --> 00:15:40,480 and parliament as well that are actually 433 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:43,040 probably do want to see more on this 434 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:44,800 subject it's again it's probably the 435 00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:47,279 stigma it's still you know rampant over 436 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,880 here in the uk so i bet there's just 437 00:15:53,430 --> 00:15:50,959 that hesitant hesitance 438 00:15:54,710 --> 00:15:53,440 to to bring it up or take a stance on it 439 00:15:56,230 --> 00:15:54,720 but 440 00:15:58,790 --> 00:15:56,240 hopefully that will change 441 00:16:00,470 --> 00:15:58,800 lord black is very very important he's a 442 00:16:02,710 --> 00:16:00,480 senior figure i think he's chair of vice 443 00:16:04,629 --> 00:16:02,720 chair of telegraph group 444 00:16:07,990 --> 00:16:04,639 so he's got some influence in the media 445 00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:08,000 for instance um and also i mean 446 00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:10,639 historically he's been the one 447 00:16:14,310 --> 00:16:12,240 most likely to take interest in this 448 00:16:15,829 --> 00:16:14,320 he's spoken out about it before i think 449 00:16:17,749 --> 00:16:15,839 it was i mean you may know this better 450 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,759 than me but the from my understanding 451 00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:19,440 there are a series of incidents in the 452 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:22,160 1970s is it pembrokeshire or some 453 00:16:27,269 --> 00:16:24,000 something like that in wales 454 00:16:28,710 --> 00:16:27,279 that some school kids saw 455 00:16:30,550 --> 00:16:28,720 yeah there was the welsh flap i think 456 00:16:31,749 --> 00:16:30,560 was part of the welsh triangle 457 00:16:33,509 --> 00:16:31,759 um 458 00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:33,519 and a lot of people i just clarified 459 00:16:37,590 --> 00:16:35,279 people hear the welsh triangle it wasn't 460 00:16:39,749 --> 00:16:37,600 a triangle object there's actually three 461 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:39,759 locations that you know map out a 462 00:16:43,430 --> 00:16:41,839 triangle and it was all within that area 463 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:43,440 throughout the 70s that there were just 464 00:16:48,150 --> 00:16:46,320 so many waves of ufo sightings so 465 00:16:49,910 --> 00:16:48,160 yeah people always get that like where's 466 00:16:51,910 --> 00:16:49,920 this triangle case it's like it's it's 467 00:16:53,269 --> 00:16:51,920 not a black triangle or anything but 468 00:16:54,470 --> 00:16:53,279 yeah 469 00:16:56,470 --> 00:16:54,480 um 470 00:16:58,790 --> 00:16:56,480 now moving on i think around that time 471 00:17:00,790 --> 00:16:58,800 as well after the june 25th report we 472 00:17:02,069 --> 00:17:00,800 just saw a massive excuse me a massive 473 00:17:04,390 --> 00:17:02,079 slump in 474 00:17:05,990 --> 00:17:04,400 nobody was hearing anything people were 475 00:17:06,949 --> 00:17:06,000 starting to get a bit frustrated but 476 00:17:09,750 --> 00:17:06,959 then 477 00:17:11,429 --> 00:17:09,760 we had san marino and project titan and 478 00:17:13,029 --> 00:17:11,439 you covered that really well as well so 479 00:17:13,990 --> 00:17:13,039 what were your thoughts on on hearing 480 00:17:15,510 --> 00:17:14,000 that and 481 00:17:17,669 --> 00:17:15,520 can you tell us a bit about it and where 482 00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,679 you think it might be headed 483 00:17:21,429 --> 00:17:19,760 yeah no of course i mean i'd firstly say 484 00:17:23,110 --> 00:17:21,439 that people shouldn't get too 485 00:17:24,630 --> 00:17:23,120 dejected when there's a lack of press 486 00:17:26,230 --> 00:17:24,640 coverage and whatnot because 487 00:17:28,069 --> 00:17:26,240 conversations are happening behind the 488 00:17:29,909 --> 00:17:28,079 scenes all the time and 489 00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:29,919 from what i 490 00:17:33,990 --> 00:17:32,320 let's say being told that all the people 491 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:34,000 who have seen this from within the dod 492 00:17:38,070 --> 00:17:36,640 the intelligence communities um and even 493 00:17:40,630 --> 00:17:38,080 congress or 494 00:17:41,909 --> 00:17:40,640 congressmen 495 00:17:43,750 --> 00:17:41,919 they've been 496 00:17:47,029 --> 00:17:43,760 quite shocked by what they've seen it it 497 00:17:48,230 --> 00:17:47,039 has rattled them so you know despite the 498 00:17:49,430 --> 00:17:48,240 fact that we're not getting a commentary 499 00:17:51,430 --> 00:17:49,440 of it it's not 500 00:17:53,110 --> 00:17:51,440 kind of a big media 501 00:17:54,710 --> 00:17:53,120 it's not big in the immediate agenda 502 00:17:58,710 --> 00:17:54,720 there is stuff happening 503 00:18:00,390 --> 00:17:58,720 um but in regards to san marino yeah 504 00:18:02,710 --> 00:18:00,400 it's what's needed because 505 00:18:03,830 --> 00:18:02,720 this is an international 506 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:03,840 debate 507 00:18:08,630 --> 00:18:06,480 we do need to get around the table and 508 00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:08,640 coordinate with 509 00:18:12,870 --> 00:18:11,120 allies and partners and maybe even some 510 00:18:16,230 --> 00:18:12,880 foes 511 00:18:18,390 --> 00:18:16,240 to actually discuss what is going on 512 00:18:21,430 --> 00:18:18,400 and i feel that there is a very very 513 00:18:23,909 --> 00:18:21,440 good chance that project titan 514 00:18:25,830 --> 00:18:23,919 is going to be a success eventually 515 00:18:27,029 --> 00:18:25,840 it may take longer than expected with 516 00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:27,039 what's going on in the world at the 517 00:18:32,789 --> 00:18:30,240 moment and i know the power leg was 518 00:18:35,830 --> 00:18:32,799 quizardi's doing a lot behind the scenes 519 00:18:40,310 --> 00:18:35,840 to keep the momentum going there 520 00:18:40,320 --> 00:18:45,669 when you look at the actual 521 00:18:49,909 --> 00:18:47,830 fundamentals 522 00:18:52,150 --> 00:18:49,919 of project titan 523 00:18:53,669 --> 00:18:52,160 it makes sense because it's it's a win 524 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:53,679 for san marino 525 00:18:58,310 --> 00:18:56,240 yeah i think they'll get the nudge from 526 00:19:00,150 --> 00:18:58,320 certain people within the u.s 527 00:19:01,190 --> 00:19:00,160 government as well that it's safe to go 528 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:01,200 ahead 529 00:19:07,029 --> 00:19:03,360 and the us will probably get its allies 530 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:07,039 to tow the line as well eventually um so 531 00:19:11,430 --> 00:19:10,000 i i think i think it's it's gonna be it 532 00:19:13,270 --> 00:19:11,440 may take longer than expected with 533 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:13,280 what's going on at the moment but i 534 00:19:17,190 --> 00:19:14,880 think eventually 535 00:19:18,870 --> 00:19:17,200 we'll we'll get there and um 536 00:19:22,470 --> 00:19:18,880 you know maybe 537 00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:22,480 in a few months time or a year or so 538 00:19:27,510 --> 00:19:24,880 certain individuals when the ufo 539 00:19:28,549 --> 00:19:27,520 community will be booking flights to new 540 00:19:30,789 --> 00:19:28,559 york 541 00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:30,799 to see some of the debates 542 00:19:35,190 --> 00:19:33,039 absolutely yeah i mean 543 00:19:36,710 --> 00:19:35,200 it's so needed because if it all goes 544 00:19:38,870 --> 00:19:36,720 through and forward through the un and 545 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:38,880 stuff it'll open the conversation up in 546 00:19:43,190 --> 00:19:41,440 europe massively and we'll probably 547 00:19:44,630 --> 00:19:43,200 start seeing many countries talking 548 00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:44,640 about it and 549 00:19:49,590 --> 00:19:47,200 you know maybe even some 550 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:49,600 class declassified files coming out of 551 00:19:53,190 --> 00:19:51,039 some of the european countries that 552 00:19:55,110 --> 00:19:53,200 would be fantastic i think they're all 553 00:19:57,990 --> 00:19:55,120 held back by the stigma still over here 554 00:19:59,350 --> 00:19:58,000 compared to the us um so yeah fingers 555 00:20:00,789 --> 00:19:59,360 crossed i think it's a positive thing 556 00:20:02,710 --> 00:20:00,799 but yeah absolutely right i think 557 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:02,720 there's going to be delays probably due 558 00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:04,720 to what's happening at the moment with 559 00:20:08,390 --> 00:20:06,720 russia and ukraine and i can totally 560 00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,400 understand that you know 561 00:20:12,390 --> 00:20:10,880 there are you know there are there's 562 00:20:14,710 --> 00:20:12,400 things have to be done right and the 563 00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:14,720 focus has to be 100 so 564 00:20:20,549 --> 00:20:17,360 yeah totally understand um 565 00:20:22,950 --> 00:20:20,559 let's move on um 566 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:22,960 i think it was october we saw robert 567 00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:24,720 salas um 568 00:20:28,630 --> 00:20:26,880 raising funds to 569 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:28,640 to to organize this press club event 570 00:20:33,990 --> 00:20:32,080 that he did get and he put on um but to 571 00:20:35,830 --> 00:20:34,000 me it felt like it didn't get the 572 00:20:37,190 --> 00:20:35,840 attention that it deserved the media 573 00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:37,200 didn't really pick up on it i think it 574 00:20:40,870 --> 00:20:39,039 was quite a small event 575 00:20:42,149 --> 00:20:40,880 um what are your thoughts because i mean 576 00:20:44,630 --> 00:20:42,159 obviously we know that the nuclear 577 00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:44,640 aspect of the subject is is huge 578 00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:46,159 but for some reason that sort of came 579 00:20:51,350 --> 00:20:48,159 and went do you think it was timing or 580 00:20:54,470 --> 00:20:51,360 do you think it was successful 581 00:20:56,070 --> 00:20:54,480 i think it was successful in terms of 582 00:20:58,149 --> 00:20:56,080 the fact that 583 00:21:01,029 --> 00:20:58,159 u.s politicians and their staffers were 584 00:21:03,190 --> 00:21:01,039 paying attention and so in the dod so i 585 00:21:04,789 --> 00:21:03,200 think from that 586 00:21:07,909 --> 00:21:04,799 perspective it kind of helped the 587 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:07,919 conversation within a halls of congress 588 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:10,080 from a media perspective it's never 589 00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,280 going to be a big 590 00:21:14,149 --> 00:21:13,200 story now because it happened so long 591 00:21:15,029 --> 00:21:14,159 ago 592 00:21:16,390 --> 00:21:15,039 yeah 593 00:21:18,390 --> 00:21:16,400 if it was you know if you've got 594 00:21:21,430 --> 00:21:18,400 something new coming forward 595 00:21:23,590 --> 00:21:21,440 saying look you know um two years ago 596 00:21:25,270 --> 00:21:23,600 there was this big event that happened 597 00:21:28,710 --> 00:21:25,280 and all the nuclear weapons on the 598 00:21:30,870 --> 00:21:28,720 submarines below the atlantic activated 599 00:21:32,470 --> 00:21:30,880 and i was silenced 600 00:21:34,630 --> 00:21:32,480 that's a very very big story you know 601 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,640 that and that was only two years ago and 602 00:21:39,430 --> 00:21:36,480 you know it 603 00:21:42,070 --> 00:21:39,440 and that's a new story but i think 604 00:21:43,669 --> 00:21:42,080 in terms of salas i think it's just a 605 00:21:45,270 --> 00:21:43,679 you know although it's still shocking it 606 00:21:48,149 --> 00:21:45,280 deserves to be a big story in terms of 607 00:21:49,590 --> 00:21:48,159 press values and the way media works 608 00:21:51,990 --> 00:21:49,600 i kind of felt that it was never going 609 00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:52,000 to be something that was going to be 610 00:21:55,190 --> 00:21:53,280 a big deal 611 00:21:57,110 --> 00:21:55,200 sadly although it should have been 612 00:21:58,870 --> 00:21:57,120 absolutely and i think even robert salas 613 00:22:00,710 --> 00:21:58,880 himself seemed frustrated in a few of 614 00:22:03,430 --> 00:22:00,720 the interviews that he did around the 615 00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:03,440 time both before and after his event um 616 00:22:06,390 --> 00:22:04,799 you could almost see the frustration 617 00:22:07,990 --> 00:22:06,400 that he was just because he was really 618 00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:08,000 calling for congressional hearings back 619 00:22:12,310 --> 00:22:10,240 in october you know before we'd heard of 620 00:22:14,310 --> 00:22:12,320 aoi msg and it was the early days of the 621 00:22:15,909 --> 00:22:14,320 gillibrand amendment so 622 00:22:17,350 --> 00:22:15,919 yeah i mean what's your thoughts on that 623 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:17,360 on congressional hearings do you think 624 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:18,640 that that's something further down the 625 00:22:22,789 --> 00:22:20,159 line that we should seriously consider 626 00:22:24,630 --> 00:22:22,799 or is it is it just wishful thinking 627 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:24,640 i think it is being considered very very 628 00:22:28,310 --> 00:22:26,880 seriously by 629 00:22:32,630 --> 00:22:28,320 certain 630 00:22:34,710 --> 00:22:32,640 um 631 00:22:37,029 --> 00:22:34,720 i think that 632 00:22:40,070 --> 00:22:37,039 is the secret weapon that you have 633 00:22:42,950 --> 00:22:40,080 if there is frustration and obfuscation 634 00:22:45,510 --> 00:22:42,960 occurring from the government 635 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:45,520 then the elected branch of government be 636 00:22:48,789 --> 00:22:46,640 like that 637 00:22:50,070 --> 00:22:48,799 we're getting justice you know i like to 638 00:22:51,669 --> 00:22:50,080 feel that 639 00:22:53,430 --> 00:22:51,679 congressman 640 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:53,440 or politicians to say are getting just 641 00:22:55,650 --> 00:22:55,200 as frustrated as us 642 00:22:58,230 --> 00:22:55,660 um 643 00:23:00,630 --> 00:22:58,240 [Music] 644 00:23:02,230 --> 00:23:00,640 i i i get the feeling they want us to 645 00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:02,240 see some of what they've seen as well 646 00:23:06,230 --> 00:23:04,159 because it helps them 647 00:23:08,549 --> 00:23:06,240 it helps them it vindicates them to 648 00:23:13,190 --> 00:23:08,559 actually see some of those classified 649 00:23:18,470 --> 00:23:15,909 the amount of like secrecy surrounding 650 00:23:20,549 --> 00:23:18,480 surrounding it is just excessive 651 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:20,559 and i think that the frustration will 652 00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:23,840 boil over and that this is their trump 653 00:23:26,549 --> 00:23:25,120 card 654 00:23:30,149 --> 00:23:26,559 called hearings 655 00:23:32,149 --> 00:23:30,159 um i i would always i i would always 656 00:23:34,149 --> 00:23:32,159 caveat that 657 00:23:35,510 --> 00:23:34,159 if hearings are going to take place 658 00:23:37,270 --> 00:23:35,520 you're not going to hear anything about 659 00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:37,280 it 660 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:40,400 a lot of due diligence needs to occur 661 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:42,320 for the hearings to take place there's a 662 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:44,480 lot of preparation needs to occur 663 00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:46,960 basically every question asked in 664 00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:49,039 hearings 665 00:23:52,630 --> 00:23:51,039 the committee needs to know the answers 666 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:52,640 to these questions before they've even 667 00:23:56,549 --> 00:23:55,200 asked the person yeah from you know the 668 00:23:58,870 --> 00:23:56,559 dod 669 00:24:01,350 --> 00:23:58,880 anything short of that 670 00:24:03,590 --> 00:24:01,360 and it just turns into a circus and it 671 00:24:04,870 --> 00:24:03,600 turns into complete failure so 672 00:24:05,990 --> 00:24:04,880 it's got to be 673 00:24:07,510 --> 00:24:06,000 i like to think that we've got one 674 00:24:09,269 --> 00:24:07,520 opportunity 675 00:24:11,430 --> 00:24:09,279 and it's got to be done right 676 00:24:12,870 --> 00:24:11,440 it can't be rushed 677 00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:12,880 they need to take their time in 678 00:24:17,110 --> 00:24:14,720 preparing for public hearings if they 679 00:24:18,630 --> 00:24:17,120 are going ahead and that's what caution 680 00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:18,640 so when people say oh we want public 681 00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:20,880 hearings now i want them now 682 00:24:25,510 --> 00:24:23,760 let's give them some time let them think 683 00:24:27,350 --> 00:24:25,520 about the questions let them do their 684 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:27,360 research 685 00:24:31,190 --> 00:24:28,960 and 686 00:24:32,470 --> 00:24:31,200 i think if that occurs 687 00:24:35,750 --> 00:24:32,480 then i think we'll see some real 688 00:24:38,390 --> 00:24:35,760 movement um in terms of hearings i think 689 00:24:40,549 --> 00:24:38,400 if they are going to take place 690 00:24:43,269 --> 00:24:40,559 there are two options if there's a lack 691 00:24:46,230 --> 00:24:43,279 of progress in terms of the uap office 692 00:24:48,710 --> 00:24:46,240 perhaps we could see them 693 00:24:49,909 --> 00:24:48,720 before october when the unclassified 694 00:24:52,549 --> 00:24:49,919 version of 695 00:24:55,110 --> 00:24:52,559 the annualized report is coming out 696 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:55,120 um but otherwise we may see 697 00:24:57,990 --> 00:24:56,159 hearings because i think they're going 698 00:25:00,390 --> 00:24:58,000 to happen regardless 699 00:25:02,070 --> 00:25:00,400 maybe next year perhaps 700 00:25:03,830 --> 00:25:02,080 do you think they might just sort of go 701 00:25:05,590 --> 00:25:03,840 to the the other way and just do closed 702 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:05,600 hearings 703 00:25:08,870 --> 00:25:07,120 i think there's already been closed 704 00:25:10,789 --> 00:25:08,880 hearings i think um 705 00:25:13,510 --> 00:25:10,799 i mean i need to reference that but i 706 00:25:15,430 --> 00:25:13,520 think if you have a senator carson 707 00:25:17,909 --> 00:25:15,440 he said they've already kind of held 708 00:25:19,830 --> 00:25:17,919 close hearings on that um although i 709 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:19,840 think dean johnson may 710 00:25:24,149 --> 00:25:21,840 have to correct me in terms of my 711 00:25:25,590 --> 00:25:24,159 terminology there but he he did say that 712 00:25:27,750 --> 00:25:25,600 there have been 713 00:25:29,669 --> 00:25:27,760 close hearings and i think it's very 714 00:25:31,750 --> 00:25:29,679 much in 715 00:25:33,029 --> 00:25:31,760 the politicians interest that these are 716 00:25:37,510 --> 00:25:33,039 public hearings 717 00:25:38,710 --> 00:25:37,520 they put their necks on the line now for 718 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:38,720 an issue which has been widely 719 00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:40,559 squandered for such a long time dear 720 00:25:52,230 --> 00:25:48,310 i mean he's got a shot now getting into 721 00:25:54,310 --> 00:25:52,240 the senate and tim all the all these you 722 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:54,320 know courageous politicians spoken up 723 00:25:58,470 --> 00:25:56,480 they want to be vindicated 724 00:26:00,549 --> 00:25:58,480 they want to say that look this is why 725 00:26:02,390 --> 00:26:00,559 i've made such a big deal about this now 726 00:26:04,470 --> 00:26:02,400 you can all see it that's what we want 727 00:26:06,070 --> 00:26:04,480 to so i think it's very much an interest 728 00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:06,080 to have public hearings 729 00:26:09,750 --> 00:26:08,080 yeah i think another important aspect is 730 00:26:12,390 --> 00:26:09,760 for them to subpoena the right people as 731 00:26:13,990 --> 00:26:12,400 well so you know like luella zondo for 732 00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:14,000 example i mean imagine that where he 733 00:26:17,510 --> 00:26:15,600 could just 734 00:26:19,430 --> 00:26:17,520 the nda that he has just completely is 735 00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:19,440 irrelevant and he can just spew it all 736 00:26:24,710 --> 00:26:22,559 out to them i mean that's a dream 737 00:26:26,549 --> 00:26:24,720 oh yeah absolutely i would love that i'd 738 00:26:28,310 --> 00:26:26,559 absolutely love it and yeah you said 739 00:26:30,070 --> 00:26:28,320 subpoena the right people what i would 740 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:30,080 really like to happen 741 00:26:35,029 --> 00:26:33,039 i i would love the dod no the doe 742 00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:35,039 department of energy 743 00:26:38,549 --> 00:26:36,720 to come forward and 744 00:26:39,830 --> 00:26:38,559 tell us what it knows because 745 00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:39,840 not a lot of people are speaking about 746 00:26:44,710 --> 00:26:42,559 that but if you remember on the jurgen 747 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:44,720 experience chris mellon when asked if he 748 00:26:48,470 --> 00:26:46,000 was president where would he go where 749 00:26:50,149 --> 00:26:48,480 did he look and he said yo and don't 750 00:26:52,789 --> 00:26:50,159 forget like that's where patel was based 751 00:26:55,269 --> 00:26:52,799 as well and if you remember um 752 00:26:56,870 --> 00:26:55,279 you know when in the phenomena 753 00:26:58,630 --> 00:26:56,880 jacques vallee said that document 754 00:27:00,710 --> 00:26:58,640 changed my life forever 755 00:27:02,630 --> 00:27:00,720 and that's the document he was referring 756 00:27:03,750 --> 00:27:02,640 to was a document which showed that 757 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:03,760 there was a 758 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:08,480 at that time as well which was much 759 00:27:12,070 --> 00:27:10,240 better funded that seems to be coming 760 00:27:13,350 --> 00:27:12,080 out of patel 761 00:27:15,110 --> 00:27:13,360 so 762 00:27:17,029 --> 00:27:15,120 um i think there's stuff there's 763 00:27:18,710 --> 00:27:17,039 definitely stuff going on with the doe 764 00:27:21,350 --> 00:27:18,720 and i'd love to see some officials from 765 00:27:22,870 --> 00:27:21,360 the d.o.e especially those guys who 766 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:22,880 can't be in control of protecting 767 00:27:26,870 --> 00:27:25,200 nuclear weapons 768 00:27:28,470 --> 00:27:26,880 guys to come forward 769 00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:28,480 so i always wonder if that's where the 770 00:27:32,310 --> 00:27:30,960 crash retrieval programs are you know 771 00:27:34,870 --> 00:27:32,320 somewhere between 772 00:27:37,669 --> 00:27:34,880 doe in the gray slightly outside of the 773 00:27:38,789 --> 00:27:37,679 black just in really hidden annexes 774 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:38,799 yeah it's fascinating because there's 775 00:27:42,310 --> 00:27:40,640 zero evidence but you have to think if 776 00:27:44,470 --> 00:27:42,320 they are somewhere and they've been 777 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:44,480 hinted at for so long by so many people 778 00:27:47,510 --> 00:27:45,679 that 779 00:27:49,110 --> 00:27:47,520 possibly where could they be and yeah i 780 00:27:51,990 --> 00:27:49,120 just find it so interesting but 781 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:52,000 speculation is a it's a it's a dodgy one 782 00:27:58,789 --> 00:27:57,510 you can connect dots you know you can 783 00:28:01,590 --> 00:27:58,799 kind of like let it build up in the 784 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:01,600 background if something sparks 785 00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:03,600 you know the legitimacy of your 786 00:28:07,190 --> 00:28:05,360 speculation that's something to kind of 787 00:28:09,830 --> 00:28:07,200 look at i think it was bubbles he 788 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:09,840 claimed that was he working at 789 00:28:14,230 --> 00:28:11,600 los alamos that he was working at when 790 00:28:19,430 --> 00:28:14,240 he saw it was it apparently we've been 791 00:28:22,870 --> 00:28:20,950 but yeah i mean it's very very 792 00:28:24,789 --> 00:28:22,880 interesting and obviously jack valet as 793 00:28:26,549 --> 00:28:24,799 well said that um 794 00:28:30,549 --> 00:28:26,559 some parts of that 795 00:28:33,830 --> 00:28:30,559 um uap that was shot at over washington 796 00:28:34,710 --> 00:28:33,840 in 1950s the material was taken to patel 797 00:28:36,549 --> 00:28:34,720 right 798 00:28:38,630 --> 00:28:36,559 yeah but i was i'd be very very 799 00:28:40,710 --> 00:28:38,640 interested to see what's going on patel 800 00:28:42,389 --> 00:28:40,720 absolutely um 801 00:28:43,909 --> 00:28:42,399 i think uh something that surprised us 802 00:28:45,669 --> 00:28:43,919 all as well towards the end of last year 803 00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:45,679 was the um 804 00:28:49,750 --> 00:28:47,360 the our future in space event at the 805 00:28:52,950 --> 00:28:49,760 national washington national cathedral 806 00:28:55,029 --> 00:28:52,960 with dna avril haynes and avi loeb jeff 807 00:28:56,789 --> 00:28:55,039 bezos and 808 00:28:59,350 --> 00:28:56,799 bill nelson as well 809 00:29:00,710 --> 00:28:59,360 i mean i was 810 00:29:02,230 --> 00:29:00,720 i was so 811 00:29:03,830 --> 00:29:02,240 shocked when i saw that advertised it 812 00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:03,840 was just that mix of people in that 813 00:29:07,269 --> 00:29:05,679 location but obviously the one thing 814 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:07,279 that really stood out for me and i'll 815 00:29:11,029 --> 00:29:08,960 quote it i've got in front of me is the 816 00:29:12,710 --> 00:29:11,039 quote by avril haynes it's just a little 817 00:29:15,110 --> 00:29:12,720 bit that she said 818 00:29:17,669 --> 00:29:15,120 and i'll quote now of course always 819 00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:17,679 there's always the question of is there 820 00:29:20,789 --> 00:29:19,440 something else that we do not understand 821 00:29:23,110 --> 00:29:20,799 which might come 822 00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:23,120 extraterrestrially 823 00:29:27,190 --> 00:29:24,840 i mean that's the first time i've heard 824 00:29:28,470 --> 00:29:27,200 extraterrestrially to be honest but i 825 00:29:30,470 --> 00:29:28,480 mean that was quite a big statement what 826 00:29:33,669 --> 00:29:30,480 did you think 827 00:29:35,269 --> 00:29:33,679 alicia in a jim radcliffe 828 00:29:37,669 --> 00:29:35,279 predecessor 829 00:29:39,590 --> 00:29:37,679 she's seen stuff obviously i think 830 00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:39,600 i think when you look at avrohan she's a 831 00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:42,159 very very calm collected person very 832 00:29:46,310 --> 00:29:44,559 very restrained i mean for her to kind 833 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:46,320 of use that language and obviously she's 834 00:29:49,029 --> 00:29:48,080 getting a bit stifled and she's saying 835 00:29:51,430

that much up 881 00:31:22,149 --> 00:31:20,240 overall i think there were still some 882 00:31:23,590 --> 00:31:22,159 little points in there but what did you 883 00:31:25,830 --> 00:31:23,600 think i

00:31:38,399 you know received threats and stuff like 891 00:31:41,029 --> 00:31:39,919 that perhaps 892 00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:41,039 um 893 00:31:44,310 --> 00:31:42,399 so 894 00:31:45,350 --> 00:31:44,320 it's gone under the radar for quite a 895 00:31:46,950 --> 00:31:45,360 long time 896 00:31:49,269 --> 00:31:46,960 in terms of that book and obviously had 897 00:31:51,830 -->

article about it i just thought 984 00:34:40,230 --> 00:34:39,190 it was really really interesting and um 985 00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:40,240 [Music] 986 00:34:44,310 --> 00:34:42,079 if you look at the apprentices of books 987 00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:44,320 they've kind of laid out structure how 988 00:34:47,589 --> 00:34:45,760 you could kind of 989 00:34:49,030 --> 00:34:47,599 start a uap office 990 00:34:50,950 --> 00:34:49,040 and you can find some similarities 991 00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:50,960 between what was in there models have 992 00:34:54,550 --> 00:34:53,280 been within their um congressional 993 00:34:56,869 --> 00:34:54,560 legislation which i found quite 994 00:34:58,069 --> 00:34:56,879 interesting um and obviously as well i 995 00:34:59,430 --> 00:34:58,079 mean the thing that i found most 996 00:35:01,190 --> 00:34:59,440 interesting 997 00:35:03,670 --> 00:35:01,200 is the fact that 998 00:35:05,829 --> 00:35:03,680 i mean what was said to 999 00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:05,839 to me by calm is that you know there are 1000 00:35:09,030 --> 00:35:07,440 people with 1001 00:35:11,510 --> 00:35:09,040 significant 1002 00:35:12,870 --> 00:35:11,520 health impacts in terms of like 1003 00:35:15,109 --> 00:35:12,880 psychological 1004 00:35:17,270 --> 00:35:15,119 um from the ontological effects and in 1005 00:35:19,750 --> 00:35:17,280 terms of physical health as well 1006 00:35:22,310 --> 00:35:19,760 um even from the nimitz so there are 1007 00:35:24,310 --> 00:35:22,320 people from the nimitz 1008 00:35:26,390 --> 00:35:24,320 from understanding 1009 00:35:28,870 --> 00:35:26,400 who have not come forward yet 1010 00:35:31,510 --> 00:35:28,880 who are suffering or have suffered the 1011 00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:31,520 impact in terms of what happened on that 1012 00:35:34,150 --> 00:35:32,480 day 1013 00:35:36,230 --> 00:35:34,160 um which i found really really 1014 00:35:38,470 --> 00:35:36,240 interesting and obviously 1015 00:35:39,990 --> 00:35:38,480 quite terrible as well um 1016 00:35:40,870 --> 00:35:40,000 and it just makes you think you know 1017 00:35:43,030 --> 00:35:40,880 like 1018 00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:43,040 how often is this happening to pilots 1019 00:35:48,870 --> 00:35:45,440 you know who are getting radiation burns 1020 00:35:49,990 --> 00:35:48,880 or microwave damage from these uap 1021 00:35:51,430 --> 00:35:50,000 um 1022 00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:51,440 and that's yeah i just find it really 1023 00:35:55,190 --> 00:35:52,880 really interesting from my understanding 1024 00:35:57,349 --> 00:35:55,200 as well what gary neillin has said that 1025 00:35:58,950 --> 00:35:57,359 intelligence officers are 1026 00:36:00,150 --> 00:35:58,960 kind of getting these impacts as well 1027 00:36:01,910 --> 00:36:00,160 from uab 1028 00:36:03,589 --> 00:36:01,920 and that makes me think because okay it 1029 00:36:05,829 --> 00:36:03,599 makes sense that you know you could be 1030 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:05,839 like an f-16 pilot or whatever and you 1031 00:36:09,589 --> 00:36:08,079 come into contact with eop and you get 1032 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:09,599 radiation burn stuff like you're going 1033 00:36:12,790 --> 00:36:11,040 to come across at uap eventually i 1034 00:36:15,270 --> 00:36:12,800 suppose if you're 1035 00:36:16,710 --> 00:36:15,280 flying in a hot zone like the east coast 1036 00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:16,720 what about intelligence officers how are 1037 00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:18,720 they coming into contact with you apa it 1038 00:36:25,829 --> 00:36:23,990 yes it shows there must be a lot 1039 00:36:27,990 --> 00:36:25,839 an awful lot that's classified and still 1040 00:36:29,109 --> 00:36:28,000 happening that we just have no idea 1041 00:36:31,270 --> 00:36:29,119 about and 1042 00:36:33,270 --> 00:36:31,280 yeah that's crazy to think um now you're 1043 00:36:36,150 --> 00:36:33,280 talking about moving forward and stuff i 1044 00:36:38,870 --> 00:36:36,160 did feel personally felt that when aoi 1045 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:38,880 msg was announced that it was just like 1046 00:36:42,390 --> 00:36:40,480 something that was thrown out there to 1047 00:36:43,990 --> 00:36:42,400 just derail the gillibrand amendment 1048 00:36:45,829 --> 00:36:44,000 what did you think when that suddenly 1049 00:36:47,589 --> 00:36:45,839 came up 1050 00:36:49,670 --> 00:36:47,599 so i mean 1051 00:36:50,950 --> 00:36:49,680 when when you read the hix 1052 00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:50,960 memo from 1053 00:36:55,109 --> 00:36:53,359 after the primary assessment release 1054 00:36:56,870 --> 00:36:55,119 they kind of promised they would have 1055 00:37:01,190 --> 00:36:56,880 this follow-on 1056 00:37:03,190 --> 00:37:01,200 activity so 1057 00:37:04,630 --> 00:37:03,200 when looking at the hindsight i can see 1058 00:37:06,790 --> 00:37:04,640 where that was coming from and i can see 1059 00:37:08,310 --> 00:37:06,800 why you know lou and melon pushed for 1060 00:37:10,310 --> 00:37:08,320 something much bigger as well because 1061 00:37:12,390 --> 00:37:10,320 they knew what was coming perhaps 1062 00:37:14,150 --> 00:37:12,400 um and obviously we can question the 1063 00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:14,160 timing as well just before thanksgiving 1064 00:37:17,190 --> 00:37:15,680 or when it was released 1065 00:37:19,109 --> 00:37:17,200 um 1066 00:37:21,190 --> 00:37:19,119 and it just say it just seemed to me 1067 00:37:23,670 --> 00:37:21,200 that it was ous 1068 00:37:25,510 --> 00:37:23,680 um a usd 1069 00:37:28,630 --> 00:37:25,520 ins 1070 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:28,640 um it was there kind of 1071 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:31,760 swooped to try and claim this yet again 1072 00:37:34,710 --> 00:37:32,560 and 1073 00:37:36,150 --> 00:37:34,720 it just seems to me that 1074 00:37:38,790 --> 00:37:36,160 looking for me on the outside at the 1075 00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:38,800 time looked to me that kathleen hicks 1076 00:37:40,870 --> 00:37:39,599 and 1077 00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:40,880 although i know it's not the case now 1078 00:37:44,069 --> 00:37:42,720 admiral haynes just looking to sidestep 1079 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:44,079 responsibility 1080 00:37:48,069 --> 00:37:46,400 and just say let's just give it to 1081 00:37:50,950 --> 00:37:48,079 you know the under office of the 1082 00:37:53,270 --> 00:37:50,960 secretary of defense instead um 1083 00:37:55,270 --> 00:37:53,280 and then when you look at the actual uap 1084 00:37:57,750 --> 00:37:55,280 office legislation they're like 1085 00:37:59,589 --> 00:37:57,760 no no no actually it's way too important 1086 00:38:01,750 --> 00:37:59,599 for this this has got to be led by the 1087 00:38:03,510 --> 00:38:01,760 secretary of defense which means that 1088 00:38:05,190 --> 00:38:03,520 you know 1089 00:38:06,550 --> 00:38:05,200 kathleen hicks who's the deputy 1090 00:38:07,510 --> 00:38:06,560 secretary of defense 1091 00:38:09,670 --> 00:38:07,520 you know 1092 00:38:11,270 --> 00:38:09,680 she's like saying oh this is isn't 1093 00:38:12,950 --> 00:38:11,280 important enough for me and like 1094 00:38:15,670 --> 00:38:12,960 congress is like going no no it's too 1095 00:38:17,589 --> 00:38:15,680 important for you yeah quite funny and 1096 00:38:19,349 --> 00:38:17,599 it's gotta be led by um avril haynes as 1097 00:38:21,109 --> 00:38:19,359 well but i think in terms of our hanes 1098 00:38:22,230 --> 00:38:21,119 it should be quite 1099 00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:22,240 i don't 1100 00:38:27,589 --> 00:38:25,680 i think from my understanding the dod is 1101 00:38:29,910 --> 00:38:27,599 kind of like if you put this name and 1102 00:38:31,750 --> 00:38:29,920 sounds saying look 1103 00:38:33,030 --> 00:38:31,760 wink we've got this under control leave 1104 00:38:34,069 --> 00:38:33,040 this stuff for us we'll eat this we'll 1105 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:34,079 get everything through we'll do all the 1106 00:38:36,570 --> 00:38:36,079 work and stuff and i think they've kind 1107 00:38:38,470 --> 00:38:36,580 of um 1108 00:38:40,710 --> 00:38:38,480 [Music] 1109 00:38:42,710 --> 00:38:40,720 screwed screwed this up and made april 1110 00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:42,720 hanes look bad in the process 1111 00:38:47,589 --> 00:38:45,200 um and perhaps she's coming for some 1112 00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:47,599 flak from the intelligence committee for 1113 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:49,200 that so i think 1114 00:38:52,630 --> 00:38:50,240 now 1115 00:38:54,069 --> 00:38:52,640 she may be or her office maybe trying to 1116 00:38:56,310 --> 00:38:54,079 actually 1117 00:38:59,109 --> 00:38:56,320 write some of those wrongs but in the 1118 00:39:03,349 --> 00:38:59,119 long term i think although aomsg was 1119 00:39:03,850 --> 00:39:03,359 within um the uh oh usdi 1120 00:39:05,270 --> 00:39:03,860 um 1121 00:39:07,270 --> 00:39:05,280 [Music] 1122 00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:07,280 in terms of legislation it's passed by 1123 00:39:11,109 --> 00:39:09,200 congress there's no way that it can 1124 00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:11,119 actually take on that responsibility 1125 00:39:15,430 --> 00:39:13,200 it's too much it's too much they can't 1126 00:39:17,510 --> 00:39:15,440 do it they don't have the capability 1127 00:39:19,829 --> 00:39:17,520 they're an oversight office 1128 00:39:21,750 --> 00:39:19,839 they're not they they don't like have 1129 00:39:23,589 --> 00:39:21,760 the ability to contract and things like 1130 00:39:25,109 --> 00:39:23,599 that and they don't have the resources 1131 00:39:27,430 --> 00:39:25,119 to kind of like 1132 00:39:29,030 --> 00:39:27,440 commit to that mission so i mean long 1133 00:39:30,790 --> 00:39:29,040 term there's no way that 1134 00:39:34,150 --> 00:39:30,800 i mean they say that it's with you a 1135 00:39:36,550 --> 00:39:34,160 usdi and s at the moment but long term i 1136 00:39:38,630 --> 00:39:36,560 can't see that working out and i think 1137 00:39:40,470 --> 00:39:38,640 dean johnson rightly said that you know 1138 00:39:42,470 --> 00:39:40,480 just give it time and 1139 00:39:43,910 --> 00:39:42,480 eventually you might see some change in 1140 00:39:46,550 --> 00:39:43,920 terms of 1141 00:39:48,150 --> 00:39:46,560 who the um overseeing 1142 00:39:51,270 --> 00:39:48,160 body or agency 1143 00:39:52,630 --> 00:39:51,280 is in terms of the uap office so yeah 1144 00:39:54,630 --> 00:39:52,640 i mean we come in 1145 00:39:56,230 --> 00:39:54,640 yeah no i completely agree with 1146 00:39:58,069 --> 00:39:56,240 everything you said there and and we're 1147 00:39:59,430 --> 00:39:58,079 coming now into what it's march and i'm 1148 00:40:01,990 --> 00:39:59,440 sure we'll do some 1149 00:40:03,589 --> 00:40:02,000 we're not we let's i'll rephrase that 1150 00:40:05,349 --> 00:40:03,599 the first classified briefing should be 1151 00:40:07,430 --> 00:40:05,359 due at the end of march 1152 00:40:08,710 --> 00:40:07,440 but you know we've not heard anything 1153 00:40:10,470 --> 00:40:08,720 since the 1154 00:40:13,030 --> 00:40:10,480 everything became law towards the end of 1155 00:40:15,510 --> 00:40:13,040 december i mean i even asked lou 1156 00:40:18,630 --> 00:40:15,520 um last week i think about who's running 1157 00:40:20,230 --> 00:40:18,640 it right now is it

that's fair 1161 00:40:26,309 --> 00:40:24,640 enough but um 1162 00:40:27,910 --> 00:40:26,319 you've had you you told me something 1163 00:40:29,510 --> 00:40:27,920 earlier let's 1164 00:40:31,430

00:41:16,710 --> 00:41:14,240 the and reflect 1182 00:41:18,390 --> 00:41:16,720 the will of congress 1183 00:41:20,470 --> 00:41:18,400 so that's what it's been doing for the 1184 00:41:22,150 --> 00:41:20,480 last few months basically 1185 00:41:24,069 --> 00:41:22,160 looking how it's 1186 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:24,079 can implement 1187 00:41:27,670 --> 00:41:25,839 the guidance as they put it although 1188 00:41:31,030 --> 00:41:27,680 it's not guidance it's legislation it's 1189 00:41:33,829 --> 00:41:31,040 the law i would say um so 1190 00:41:35,109 --> 00:41:33,839 currently the status is officially the 1191 00:41:35,910 --> 00:41:35,119 status is 1192 00:41:38,470 --> 00:41:35,920 that 1193 00:41:40,309 --> 00:41:38,480 this is a quote from susan goff 1194 00:41:42,069 -->

1200 00:41:58,790 --> 00:41:57,520 of the former uap task force to the aoi 1201 00:42:00,950 --> 00:41:58,800 msg 1202 00:42:02,390 --> 00:42:00,960 while under a continued continuing 1203 00:42:04,710 --> 00:42:02,400 resolution 1204 00:42:07,270 --> 00:42:04,720 the examination and analysis of uap 1205 00:42:11,670 --> 00:42:07,280 incursions into special use airspace 1206 00:42:13,829 --> 00:42:11,680 continues at fiscal year 2021 levels so 1207 00:42:15,670 --> 00:42:13,839 i mean sure guys that means that nothing 1208 00:42:17,829 --> 00:42:15,680 has changed 1209 00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:17,839 despite this kind of being signed off by 1210 00:42:21,270 --> 00:42:18,880 biden 1211 00:42:23,030 --> 00:42:21,280 in december and despite the first 1212 00:42:24,390 --> 00:42:23,040 classified briefing to committees coming 1213 00:42:28,150 --> 00:42:24,400 up this month 1214 00:42:30,470 --> 00:42:28,160 they still at 2021 levels so basically 1215 00:42:31,750 --> 00:42:30,480 they have not implemented 1216 00:42:37,030 --> 00:42:31,760 the 1217 00:42:38,790 --> 00:42:37,040 in terms of what congress 1218 00:42:41,990 --> 00:42:38,800 has asked for so 1219 00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:42,000 i expect in the next classified briefing 1220 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,280 this month that there's going to be a 1221 00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:45,599 lot of politicians who are going to be 1222 00:42:49,349 --> 00:42:47,119 very very annoyed 1223 00:42:51,430 --> 00:42:49,359 um and i feel that might break the 1224 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:51,440 camel's back let's see well there's also 1225 00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:52,720 we've got the inspector general's 1226 00:42:56,150 --> 00:42:54,640 investigation still going on looking at 1227 00:42:58,710 --> 00:42:56,160 how they were looking into the uap 1228 00:43:00,870 --> 00:42:58,720 subjects back in 2021 1229 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:00,880 now if they keep doing that then the ig 1230 00:43:04,069 --> 00:43:02,560 is going to be on their back surely 1231 00:43:05,430 --> 00:43:04,079 before long you know come on what's 1232 00:43:08,150 --> 00:43:05,440 going on we've got this new law and 1233 00:43:09,670 --> 00:43:08,160 you're not even implementing it to as it 1234 00:43:11,829 --> 00:43:09,680 should be i mean that's 1235 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:11,839 mind-boggling yes that's what i wrote 1236 00:43:16,309 --> 00:43:14,800 about the other day about um 1237 00:43:19,270 --> 00:43:16,319 why 1238 00:43:22,069 --> 00:43:19,280 senator gillibrand seemed so perplexed 1239 00:43:23,430 --> 00:43:22,079 um in her tone and so annoyed when she 1240 00:43:24,230 --> 00:43:23,440 was questioning 1241 00:43:25,510 --> 00:43:24,240 the 1242 00:43:28,309 --> 00:43:25,520 nominee 1243 00:43:30,470 --> 00:43:28,319 for the new dod ig 1244 00:43:33,670 --> 00:43:30,480 um i think that 1245 00:43:34,790 --> 00:43:33,680 that was why she wants to put pressure 1246 00:43:37,349 --> 00:43:34,800 on 1247 00:43:38,309 --> 00:43:37,359 a us usdi 1248 00:43:40,309 --> 00:43:38,319 and s 1249 00:43:41,750 --> 00:43:40,319 she wants to put pressure on her office 1250 00:43:42,710 --> 00:43:41,760 basically to say look get your app 1251 00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:42,720 together 1252 00:43:46,069 --> 00:43:44,240 because 1253 00:43:47,670 --> 00:43:46,079 once this new ig comes into office 1254 00:43:49,270 --> 00:43:47,680 you're gonna have a whole lot of trouble 1255 00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:49,280 not only you're gonna struggle actually 1256 00:43:53,109 --> 00:43:50,400 implementing 1257 00:43:54,630 --> 00:43:53,119 and meeting the congressional intent 1258 00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:54,640 you're actually going to have these guys 1259 00:43:58,710 --> 00:43:56,560 looking looking at you as well and it's 1260 00:44:01,430 --> 00:43:58,720 going to come from very very top guy so 1261 00:44:03,589 --> 00:44:01,440 i think they're maximizing pressure out 1262 00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:03,599 of annoyance basically 1263 00:44:07,990 --> 00:44:05,280 of what's happening at the moment and 1264 00:44:09,349 --> 00:44:08,000 the pace of things if you're having you 1265 00:44:11,750 --> 00:44:09,359 have to imagine you know if you're a 1266 00:44:13,430 --> 00:44:11,760 senator you know you your 1267 00:44:15,589 --> 00:44:13,440 portfolio or your what you're 1268 00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:15,599 scrutinizing is defense and you're 1269 00:44:20,870 --> 00:44:17,200 seeing that this stuff is happening on a 1270 00:44:24,309 --> 00:44:20,880 regular basis in terms of um 1271 00:44:26,069 --> 00:44:24,319 uap buzzing naples ships and whatnot 1272 00:44:27,349 --> 00:44:26,079 this is really serious you know and like 1273 00:44:28,870 --> 00:44:27,359 this is quite urgent to get to the 1274 00:44:30,150 --> 00:44:28,880 bottom of this especially i mean we 1275 00:44:31,910 --> 00:44:30,160 don't know if it's russian let's just 1276 00:44:35,109 --> 00:44:31,920 play devil's africa russia has just 1277 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:35,119 invaded ukraine obviously putin seems 1278 00:44:39,270 --> 00:44:37,520 unhinged let's say some of these are 1279 00:44:41,270 --> 00:44:39,280 russian drones let's say let's play 1280 00:44:43,270 --> 00:44:41,280 devil's advocate then is it even more 1281 00:44:45,510 --> 00:44:43,280 alarming that this stuff is happening 1282 00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:45,520 and despite this there just doesn't seem 1283 00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:48,800 to be any urgency on the part of a usdi 1284 00:44:51,430 --> 00:44:50,400 and s to actually get to the bottom of 1285 00:44:54,950 --> 00:44:51,440 it so 1286 00:44:57,109 --> 00:44:54,960 yeah if i'm in if i'm in the shoes of um 1287 00:44:59,750 --> 00:44:57,119 of politicians i'm getting really 1288 00:45:01,750 --> 00:44:59,760 annoyed maybe if i'm them 1289 00:45:03,030 --> 00:45:01,760 yeah that's that's the thing yeah and i 1290 00:45:04,630 --> 00:45:03,040 think as well we've just got to play the 1291 00:45:06,390 --> 00:45:04,640 long game haven't we it's like louis 1292 00:45:08,710 --> 00:45:06,400 always said it's a marathon or not a 1293 00:45:11,109 --> 00:45:08,720 sprint and there's always going to be 1294 00:45:12,630 --> 00:45:11,119 you know infighting between congress and 1295 00:45:14,230 --> 00:45:12,640 and the pentagon and stuff so i think 1296 00:45:16,470 --> 00:45:14,240 it's just a case of 1297 00:45:17,670 --> 00:45:16,480 we've just got to hope that the people 1298 00:45:19,349 --> 00:45:17,680 are doing the right thing behind the 1299 00:45:20,870 --> 00:45:19,359 scenes i'm confident that they are from 1300 00:45:21,990 --> 00:45:20,880 some people that i've spoken to i just 1301 00:45:23,109 --> 00:45:22,000 think it's 1302 00:45:24,870 --> 00:45:23,119 we've just got to have these little 1303 00:45:26,870 --> 00:45:24,880 battles let them play out and then we 1304 00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:26,880 might start seeing some results towards 1305 00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:28,480 maybe october when we get the first 1306 00:45:31,910 --> 00:45:29,839 declassified 1307 00:45:32,950 --> 00:45:31,920 report or unclassified report should i 1308 00:45:34,069 --> 00:45:32,960 say so 1309 00:45:36,069 --> 00:45:34,079 yeah 1310 00:45:37,349 --> 00:45:36,079 fingers crossed um now you mentioned it 1311 00:45:38,470 --> 00:45:37,359 earlier but the canadian government have 1312 00:45:40,470 --> 00:45:38,480 recently sort of entered the 1313 00:45:42,069 --> 00:45:40,480 conversation let's say last week i think 1314 00:45:44,230 --> 00:45:42,079 was the deputy minister of the 1315 00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:44,240 department of natural resources it's 1316 00:45:48,390 --> 00:45:45,920 been about getting a report prepared 1317 00:45:49,670 --> 00:45:48,400 based on uap incidents and so that's 1318 00:45:50,870 --> 00:45:49,680 really good and i mean i don't 1319 00:45:53,510 --> 00:45:50,880 necessarily want to touch upon it in 1320 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:53,520 detail but it makes us think like 1321 00:45:57,109 --> 00:45:55,280 we really need to get our butts into 1322 00:45:59,510 --> 00:45:57,119 gear over here in the uk where do you 1323 00:46:01,270 --> 00:45:59,520 see the conversation going in the uk and 1324 00:46:02,390 --> 00:46:01,280 if you don't see it going anywhere what 1325 00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:02,400 can we do 1326 00:46:06,069 --> 00:46:04,400 to kind of help 1327 00:46:08,309 --> 00:46:06,079 i think the conversation is going to go 1328 00:46:09,510 --> 00:46:08,319 somewhere sooner or later i mean if you 1329 00:46:11,829 --> 00:46:09,520 look at the 1330 00:46:13,030 --> 00:46:11,839 language of the uap 1331 00:46:15,430 --> 00:46:13,040 office 1332 00:46:18,069 --> 00:46:15,440 um there is language there to actually 1333 00:46:19,190 --> 00:46:18,079 coordinate with allies and partners 1334 00:46:22,069 --> 00:46:19,200 um 1335 00:46:23,829 --> 00:46:22,079 from other nations so it will happen i 1336 00:46:25,910 --> 00:46:23,839 believe that there's a very i mean this 1337 00:46:28,470 --> 00:46:25,920 is the closest intelligence relationship 1338 00:46:32,069 --> 00:46:28,480 there it could possibly be in terms of 1339 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:32,079 u.s intelligence and uk intelligence um 1340 00:46:36,470 --> 00:46:34,880 and despite the mod saying they've not 1341 00:46:38,390 --> 00:46:36,480 read the classified version before which 1342 00:46:40,390 --> 00:46:38,400 i found very hard to believe i suspect 1343 00:46:41,430 --> 00:46:40,400 that many within the uk 1344 00:46:43,990 --> 00:46:41,440 the 1345 00:46:46,230 --> 00:46:44,000 intelligence community have um perhaps 1346 00:46:47,750 --> 00:46:46,240 there's a few people within um defense 1347 00:46:49,829 --> 00:46:47,760 intelligence for example that have 1348 00:46:52,150 --> 00:46:49,839 actually read it so i think that it's 1349 00:46:53,430 --> 00:46:52,160 going to go somewhere sooner or later um 1350 00:46:56,069 --> 00:46:53,440 and i'll just caveat that by saying 1351 00:46:57,349 --> 00:46:56,079 watches space that i think i think 1352 00:46:59,589 --> 00:46:57,359 there's gonna be a big push soon in 1353 00:47:03,670 --> 00:46:59,599 terms of what's happening in the uk 1354 00:47:05,030 --> 00:47:03,680 um as in other countries as well 1355 00:47:06,309 --> 00:47:05,040 yeah i agree i mean i've had 1356 00:47:07,670 --> 00:47:06,319 conversations with people in the last 1357 00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:07,680 few months saying that 1358 00:47:12,630 --> 00:47:09,839 they believe that the uf ufo office here 1359 00:47:14,069 --> 00:47:12,640 in the uk didn't end in 2009 that these 1360 00:47:15,510 --> 00:47:14,079 people think that it's still happening 1361 00:47:17,829 --> 00:47:15,520 and they even think they know where it's 1362 00:47:19,109 --> 00:47:17,839 based location-wise and that i mean 1363 00:47:20,630 --> 00:47:19,119 obviously to me that's just pure 1364 00:47:22,790 --> 00:47:20,640 speculation but 1365 00:47:24,309 --> 00:47:22,800 it kind of makes sense that something 1366 00:47:26,549 --> 00:47:24,319 would suddenly you know why would it 1367 00:47:28,230 --> 00:47:26,559 suddenly stop in 09 when they were 1368 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:28,240 really on top of the subject back then 1369 00:47:31,990 --> 00:47:29,520 you know the amount of documents that 1370 00:47:33,430 --> 00:47:32,000 came out up until about 2013 was 1371 00:47:35,829 --> 00:47:33,440 incredible and then 1372 00:47:37,750 --> 00:47:35,839 nothing i i just find that so hard to 1373 00:47:39,670 --> 00:47:37,760 wrap my head around but like i said i 1374 00:47:40,630 --> 00:47:39,680 guess we'll have to wait and see 1375 00:47:42,549 --> 00:47:40,640 um 1376 00:47:43,270 --> 00:47:42,559 finally i got to ask what is next for 1377 00:47:45,910 --> 00:47:43,280 you 1378 00:47:48,470 --> 00:47:45,920 and the liberation times 1379 00:47:50,230 --> 00:47:48,480 absolutely no um so 1380 00:47:51,910 --> 00:47:50,240 we're working on some big stories i 1381 00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:51,920 think when we first start out liberation 1382 00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:54,000 times 1383 00:47:56,870 --> 00:47:56,000 we put out quite a lot of stories 1384 00:47:58,549 --> 00:47:56,880 um 1385 00:47:59,910 --> 00:47:58,559 stories that needed to be covered to be 1386 00:48:02,309 --> 00:47:59,920 to be honest at the catholic church and 1387 00:48:04,630 --> 00:48:02,319 stuff like that my opinion and covered 1388 00:48:08,470 --> 00:48:04,640 opinion pieces 1389 00:48:09,910 --> 00:48:08,480 alongside breaking news and new insights 1390 00:48:11,670 --> 00:48:09,920 uh 1391 00:48:14,069 --> 00:48:11,680 now what we're going for is we're going 1392 00:48:18,069 --> 00:48:14,079 for kind of like big the big fish in 1393 00:48:19,589 --> 00:48:18,079 terms of big stories um so i mean there 1394 00:48:21,510 --> 00:48:19,599 are free 1395 00:48:23,430 --> 00:48:21,520 free spanners in the works i mean when 1396 00:48:24,790 --> 00:48:23,440 you're working on a story you never know 1397 00:48:26,230 --> 00:48:24,800 which one's going to come to fruition or 1398 00:48:27,829 --> 00:48:26,240 not right 1399 00:48:29,990 --> 00:48:27,839 but i would just say like watch your 1400 00:48:31,670 --> 00:48:30,000 space i mean i think in 1401 00:48:35,030 --> 00:48:31,680 coming months and years ahead you're 1402 00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:35,040 going to hear a lot more from those 1403 00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:36,079 let's say 1404 00:48:39,349 --> 00:48:38,240 um 1405 00:48:41,589 --> 00:48:39,359 veterans 1406 00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:41,599 who have been a victim of 1407 00:48:44,549 --> 00:48:43,440 persecution from the department of 1408 00:48:48,230 --> 00:48:44,559 defense 1409 00:48:49,510 --> 00:48:48,240 in terms of uap i think you can hear 1410 00:48:51,589
