focusing on some historic cases 15 00:01:04,869 --> 00:01:03,520 because i've spent the last few days 16 00:01:06,710 --> 00:01:04,879 digging back 17 00:01:08,550 --> 00:01:06,720 into some national archives 18 00:01:10,950 --> 00:01:08,560 records and looking at some really 19 00:01:13,750 --> 00:01:10,960 interesting cases with multiple data 20 00:01:15,670 --> 00:01:13,760 points and they are fascinating so 21 00:01:17,910 --> 00:01:15,680 we're going to cover some cases tonight 22 00:01:19,670 --> 00:01:17,920 with my guest and we're probably going 23 00:01:21,350 --> 00:01:19,680 to

00:01:25,280 a little bit more because they really 27 00:01:29,830 --> 00:01:27,200 are they're just as good as any modern 28 00:01:31,270 --> 00:01:29,840 case if not better in some respects so 29

00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:16,959 something that i did for many years 48 00:02:20,710 --> 00:02:18,640 before i even did any of my social 49 00:02:22,790 --> 00:02:20,720 medias or even came on the scene i was 50 00:02:25,030 --> 00:02:22,800 always in the background 51 00:02:26,470 --> 00:02:25,040 late at night in front of this screen 52 00:02:28,550 --> 00:02:26,480 digging and digging and digging and i've 53 00:02:29,670 --> 00:02:28,560 kind of just rekindled that love for it 54 00:02:31,110 --> 00:02:29,680 again 55 00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:31,120 and and 56 00:02:34,630 --> 00:02:33,040 we mentioned before we came on about 57 00:02:36,869 --> 00:02:34,640 going actually going to the national 58 00:02:38,869 --> 00:02:36,879 archives as well and that was the first 59 00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,879 time last year when we both went 60 00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:40,959 together and 61 00:02:45,509 --> 00:02:43,040 i can see how addicting it is how it 62 00:02:48,790 --> 00:02:45,519 that that feel for like 63 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:48,800 finding that little gem mixed in those 64 00:02:53,350 --> 00:02:50,560 documents that's been you know archived 65 00:02:54,949 --> 00:02:53,360 away for so many years so 66 00:02:56,229 --> 00:02:54,959 yeah what are you 67 00:02:58,710 --> 00:02:56,239 how long have you been going to the 68 00:03:00,309 --> 00:02:58,720 archives and things like that and 69 00:03:02,630 --> 00:03:00,319 and do you still get the buzz every time 70 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:02,640 you go so digging in the archives 71 00:03:05,910 --> 00:03:04,400 actually physically going to queue that 72 00:03:07,750 --> 00:03:05,920 was my first time i've done a lot of 73 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:07,760 stuff remotely because i covered you 74 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:11,040 couldn't go anyway and so for two years 75 00:03:14,149 --> 00:03:12,640 kind of thing that i was doing things i 76 00:03:17,030 --> 00:03:14,159 was having to pay do everything a long 77 00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:17,040 way so pay them to search and then if 78 00:03:20,470 --> 00:03:18,959 they found anything um then i would have 79 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:20,480 to pay again for the records to be 80 00:03:25,270 --> 00:03:23,680 either sent digitally or or in a post um 81 00:03:26,789 --> 00:03:25,280 and sometimes you lost money because of 82 00:03:28,949 --> 00:03:26,799 things you were asking for they couldn't 83 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,959 find and you had to stump up like eight 84 00:03:32,149 --> 00:03:30,480 pound for a search fee 85 00:03:33,990 --> 00:03:32,159 um but there's also things like freedom 86 00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:34,000 information act requests that you know 87 00:03:38,070 --> 00:03:36,000 you can do as well online so a few of 88 00:03:39,990 --> 00:03:38,080 them in the past um and then again it's 89 00:03:42,390 --> 00:03:40,000 just trawling through online archives 90 00:03:44,470 --> 00:03:42,400 like hansard the government um archive 91 00:03:45,750 --> 00:03:44,480 here of all the all the transcripts of 92 00:03:47,910 --> 00:03:45,760 all the debates in the house of lords 93 00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,920 the house commons in the uk and some of 94 00:03:51,750 --> 00:03:50,400 the written uh replies to questions you 95 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,760 can look through those on the on the 96 00:03:55,589 --> 00:03:53,760 internet and you can delve into things 97 00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,599 that way and you can see you know 98 00:03:59,429 --> 00:03:57,840 debates on ufos going back into the 70s 99 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:59,439 and even earlier 100 00:04:03,830 --> 00:04:01,120 so there's a lot of stuff like that but 101 00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:03,840 of course in a previous life um and it 102 00:04:08,390 --> 00:04:06,239 sort of continued into now that i write 103 00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:08,400 about aviation history as well so a lot 104 00:04:12,070 --> 00:04:10,080 of the things i used to do 105 00:04:15,350 --> 00:04:12,080 have basically translated themselves 106 00:04:17,509 --> 00:04:15,360 really easily to ufos it's the same kind 107 00:04:19,349 --> 00:04:17,519 of thing i'm looking into historical 108 00:04:22,390 --> 00:04:19,359 documents i did that for the aviation 109 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,400 history so again i'm looking at um your 110 00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:24,240 loss records for people when you're 111 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,800 looking at um sometimes casualties um 112 00:04:30,550 --> 00:04:28,639 it's a you know that's i'll say i'm not 113 00:04:33,110 --> 00:04:30,560 looking at those for ufos but those 114 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:33,120 types of online record databases there's 115 00:04:36,790 --> 00:04:34,800 a lot of things like that that you can 116 00:04:38,550 --> 00:04:36,800 you can search and you're just pulling 117 00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:38,560 out a little bit of information you're 118 00:04:41,270 --> 00:04:40,000 setting them against something else you 119 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:41,280 might find out and you're seeing whether 120 00:04:44,310 --> 00:04:42,720 they match or whether there's any 121 00:04:46,150 --> 00:04:44,320 discrepancies and then you chase down 122 00:04:47,990 --> 00:04:46,160 what the discrepancies are and you just 123 00:04:49,749 --> 00:04:48,000 keep you just you know the sky's the 124 00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,759 limit kind of thing in terms of how much 125 00:04:53,909 --> 00:04:52,000 information you might be able to amass 126 00:04:56,150 --> 00:04:53,919 and but then again it's then a question 127 00:04:58,469 --> 00:04:56,160 of distilling it down into a form that's 128 00:05:00,150 --> 00:04:58,479 easy enough to read and understand um 129 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:00,160 you can't assume that everybody who 130 00:05:04,629 --> 00:05:03,039 reads it is up to speed with the ufos 131 00:05:06,310 --> 00:05:04,639 some people might just pull it off you 132 00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:06,320 know the bookshelf or buying on amazon 133 00:05:09,990 --> 00:05:07,840 and they know nothing about the subject 134 00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:10,000 and they want to um you know to get into 135 00:05:15,510 --> 00:05:11,919 it much easier so you have to sort of 136 00:05:17,110 --> 00:05:15,520 pitch it to a lot of different audiences 137 00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:17,120 yeah absolutely i think one thing that i 138 00:05:21,749 --> 00:05:20,080 really found rewarding was 139 00:05:23,029 --> 00:05:21,759 going back all those years where i was 140 00:05:24,469 --> 00:05:23,039 doing a lot of research i was 141 00:05:25,909 --> 00:05:24,479 researching a lot of the american files 142 00:05:27,909 --> 00:05:25,919 so the blue book files and things like 143 00:05:30,469 --> 00:05:27,919 that but then when i started digging 144 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,479 into the uk national archives you'd come 145 00:05:34,950 --> 00:05:32,639 across cases that you'd seen in blue 146 00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:34,960 book but from the uk perspective and 147 00:05:39,749 --> 00:05:36,880 when you match them up together that is 148 00:05:42,230 --> 00:05:39,759 amazing because you've got both sides 149 00:05:43,749 --> 00:05:42,240 and double the the the details the 150 00:05:45,270 --> 00:05:43,759 evidence and stuff so i found that 151 00:05:48,150 --> 00:05:45,280 really rewarding 152 00:05:50,629 --> 00:05:48,160 and and one thing that i initially 153 00:05:52,870 --> 00:05:50,639 kind of was a bit wary of was 154 00:05:54,790 --> 00:05:52,880 when you before our visit to the 155 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,800 national archives it asks you what files 156 00:05:58,070 --> 00:05:56,400 you want and you're like 157 00:05:59,909 --> 00:05:58,080 i just want to look at 158 00:06:01,749 --> 00:05:59,919 this and this but you need to give them 159 00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:01,759 specific numbers now you've got to do a 160 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:04,160 lot of homework beforehand vinnie yeah 161 00:06:07,670 --> 00:06:05,520 as the audience may or may not 162 00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,680 appreciate it's not a case of as you say 163 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:09,280 just going down to them and talking the 164 00:06:13,350 --> 00:06:11,360 guy on the desk and saying oh i need to 165 00:06:15,749 --> 00:06:13,360 see your files on ufos for you know x 166 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:15,759 month x year it doesn't work that way 167 00:06:19,909 --> 00:06:17,440 you have to find the file references and 168 00:06:21,510 --> 00:06:19,919 you have to tell them in advance online 169 00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:21,520 and then they'll find them 170 00:06:24,309 --> 00:06:22,880 and they'll put them in a little kind of 171 00:06:25,909 --> 00:06:24,319 little pigeon hole for you when you turn 172 00:06:27,510 --> 00:06:25,919 up and you can only take one file at a 173 00:06:29,749 --> 00:06:27,520 time to the reading desks to go through 174 00:06:31,189 --> 00:06:29,759 them as well i found out certainly 175 00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:31,199 because i got chilled off by a member of 176 00:06:40,390 --> 00:06:38,550 i actually had the stack as well about 177 00:06:42,550 --> 00:06:40,400 that i was right in the far corner of 178 00:06:43,830 --> 00:06:42,560 the archives and no one saw me so i got 179 00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,840 away with it 180 00:06:48,950 --> 00:06:45,600 so for anybody that does want to dig 181 00:06:50,150 --> 00:06:48,960 into this my recommendation would be 182 00:06:52,710 --> 00:06:50,160 reach out to people that have already 183 00:06:54,790 --> 00:06:52,720 done it and people really do want to 184 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,800 help and that helped me 185 00:06:58,070 --> 00:06:57,199 so you know it's and this is the thing 186 00:06:59,749 --> 00:06:58,080 like 187 00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:59,759 i've struggled in the past going where 188 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:01,440 do i start 189 00:07:05,909 --> 00:07:03,520 um and i think you have to first think 190 00:07:07,990 --> 00:07:05,919 about the era you know is it the 40s the 191 00:07:09,270 --> 00:07:08,000 50s the 60s and then whittle it down 192 00:07:11,029 --> 00:07:09,280 from there but 193 00:07:12,550 --> 00:07:11,039 what would you suggest to anybody graham 194 00:07:15,270 --> 00:07:12,560 about you know i just want to look at 195 00:07:16,629 --> 00:07:15,280 cool ufo documents where would you start 196 00:07:18,790 --> 00:07:16,639 so there's there's plenty out there 197 00:07:22,150 --> 00:07:18,800 already um if you search for likes of 198 00:07:24,469 --> 00:07:22,160 you know nikap um there's this kind of 199 00:07:26,870 --> 00:07:24,479 or all that other sort of online 200 00:07:28,950 --> 00:07:26,880 databases there's lots of documentation 201 00:07:31,990 --> 00:07:28,960 out there nycap have a good um sort of 202 00:07:34,070 --> 00:07:32,000 stock of oil documents for covering all 203 00:07:36,710 --> 00:07:34,080 sorts of types of cases and you can look 204 00:07:39,749 --> 00:07:36,720 at them online um 205 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:39,759 also there is an internet archive which 206 00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:41,520 actually has all the blue book documents 207 00:07:44,390 --> 00:07:43,360 or at least you know all the ones that 208 00:07:47,029 --> 00:07:44,400 can be found 209 00:07:48,629 --> 00:07:47,039 and that's available online as well i'm 210 00:07:51,350 --> 00:07:48,639 sure it's called the internet archive 211 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,360 and it's you can just um specify a month 212 00:07:55,589 --> 00:07:53,280 and a year and then it pulls them all 213 00:07:57,350 --> 00:07:55,599 out um now i'll see that it's mostly 214 00:07:58,550 --> 00:07:57,360 american-centric so for people like 215 00:08:00,710 --> 00:07:58,560 south america if they're looking for 216 00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:00,720 something new at home then it may not 217 00:08:04,469 --> 00:08:02,720 quite cover what they're looking for but 218 00:08:05,909 --> 00:08:04,479 it does have foreign cases and it does 219 00:08:08,390 --> 00:08:05,919 have some british cases it does have 220 00:08:10,390 --> 00:08:08,400 some from south america from africa and 221 00:08:12,150 --> 00:08:10,400 elsewhere and a lot actually does have a 222 00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:12,160 lot from japan which i think we're going 223 00:08:16,550 --> 00:08:14,240 to talk about one in a minute uh in a 224 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,560 few minutes uh and places like korea as 225 00:08:20,390 --> 00:08:18,400 well so there's there's definitely you 226 00:08:22,550 --> 00:08:20,400 know a good spread of cases 227 00:08:24,469 --> 00:08:22,560 geographically but then 228 00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:24,479 the the ministry of defense released a 229 00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,599 whole load of 230 00:08:29,189 --> 00:08:27,759 uk documents and they're through the 231 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:29,199 national archives so you can actually 232 00:08:33,029 --> 00:08:31,520 see them and there's plenty of places on 233 00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:33,039 the internet which actually give the 234 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:34,880 file names so it's not as if you're 235 00:08:38,949 --> 00:08:37,039 having to um you know to search yourself 236 00:08:41,350 --> 00:08:38,959 but you can do that there is a search 237 00:08:43,269 --> 00:08:41,360 engine on the national archives um 238 00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:43,279 website which you can just literally put 239 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:45,440 ufo into and it comes up with all the 240 00:08:49,190 --> 00:08:47,680 relevant you know all the relevant links 241 00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:49,200 and a lot of that if you create an 242 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:51,440 account with the national archives then 243 00:08:55,509 --> 00:08:52,880 you can download 244 00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:55,519 it's 30 sorry it's either 30 or 100 245 00:08:59,910 --> 00:08:57,839 documents for free each month uh you get 246 00:09:02,389 --> 00:08:59,920 that sorry 100 documents each month for 247 00:09:04,150 --> 00:09:02,399 free which is quite a lot um 248 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,160 you know and it rolls over each month so 249 00:09:08,230 --> 00:09:06,480 that's a good way to get a lot of those 250 00:09:09,990 --> 00:09:08,240 and some of them are quite considerable 251 00:09:12,389 --> 00:09:10,000 in size that they run to hundreds of 252 00:09:15,110 --> 00:09:12,399 pages a lot of it's 253 00:09:17,190 --> 00:09:15,120 that i say dross it's a lot you'll see 254 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:17,200 how you you've probably seen these that 255 00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:19,680 some of them are taken up with people 256 00:09:24,870 --> 00:09:22,000 writing weird and wacky letters to the 257 00:09:26,630 --> 00:09:24,880 mod with screens and screens of 258 00:09:28,230 --> 00:09:26,640 religious text and 259 00:09:29,990 --> 00:09:28,240 the things that they believe or their 260 00:09:31,910 --> 00:09:30,000 their kind of scripture or their you 261 00:09:33,670 --> 00:09:31,920 know all that or all these weird 262 00:09:35,910 --> 00:09:33,680 wonderful kind of things that they're 263 00:09:37,509 --> 00:09:35,920 spouting and and very little of it 264 00:09:39,430 --> 00:09:37,519 actually it makes any sense and can be 265 00:09:42,150 --> 00:09:39,440 backed up with any kind of evidence at 266 00:09:43,829 --> 00:09:42,160 all but you know some people might think 267 00:09:45,750 --> 00:09:43,839 it's fun reading it but there's a lot of 268 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,760 good stuff in there as well 269 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:47,440 absolutely one thing i noticed going 270 00:09:51,269 --> 00:09:49,040 through the files was that you'd have 271 00:09:53,829 --> 00:09:51,279 that kind of dross as you call it but 272 00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:53,839 you go from one page of ross and the 273 00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:55,839 next page could be an internal memo 274 00:09:59,030 --> 00:09:56,800 between 275 00:10:00,870 --> 00:09:59,040 mod and di55 or something and you're 276 00:10:03,110 --> 00:10:00,880 like wow this is really interesting and 277 00:10:04,949 --> 00:10:03,120 this information it's not sorted out 278 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:04,959 into any kind of genre in terms of you 279 00:10:10,389 --> 00:10:07,440 know the the wacky stuff and as you say 280 00:10:12,150 --> 00:10:10,399 they're the real kind of gems um it just 281 00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:12,160 it's it almost seems to be some kind of 282 00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:14,720 date order and it's in rough day audit 283 00:10:18,069 --> 00:10:16,000 um so 284 00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:18,079 you can see sometimes i'm not going to 285 00:10:22,710 --> 00:10:20,240 mention carbine but you can mention 286 00:10:24,630 --> 00:10:22,720 other cases you can see sometimes um 287 00:10:26,550 --> 00:10:24,640 you'll find a document about a certain 288 00:10:28,389 --> 00:10:26,560 case and then because the investigation 289 00:10:29,829 --> 00:10:28,399 might have taken a few weeks then 290 00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:29,839 there'll be another document you know a 291 00:10:33,190 --> 00:10:31,600 bit later on the file and then there'll 292 00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:33,200 be another follow-up a bit later on 293 00:10:36,710 --> 00:10:34,399 because they might come back to it 294 00:10:39,110 --> 00:10:36,720 somehow or there might be an um a reply 295 00:10:41,350 --> 00:10:39,120 by the the original correspondent who 296 00:10:44,870 --> 00:10:41,360 who notified the mod of the case or 297 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,880 reported it and they're going he's or he 298 00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:46,480 or she coming back saying i don't agree 299 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:47,920 with what you said and then there's 300 00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,920 another reply to that an official reply 301 00:10:52,790 --> 00:10:51,440 which might have some more information 302 00:10:54,949 --> 00:10:52,800 so you get this kind of tuning and 303 00:10:56,949 --> 00:10:54,959 throwing but it it's split out between 304 00:10:59,110 --> 00:10:56,959 the files so i'm afraid you have to be 305 00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:59,120 patient you can't expect miracles you're 306 00:11:02,230 --> 00:11:00,399 not going to necessarily you're not 307 00:11:05,750 --> 00:11:02,240 really going to get many many answers if 308 00:11:07,190 --> 00:11:05,760 any from those the mod documents but you 309 00:11:08,470 --> 00:11:07,200 just have to dig and you just have to 310 00:11:10,550 --> 00:11:08,480 put it together with other things that 311 00:11:13,269 --> 00:11:10,560 you found out or things from elsewhere 312 00:11:14,550 --> 00:11:13,279 and it slowly builds up the picture 313 00:11:16,150 --> 00:11:14,560 it does and that's probably one of the 314 00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:16,160 reasons why i wanted to do this and to 315 00:11:19,910 --> 00:11:18,320 continue doing this is that you find 316 00:11:22,550 --> 00:11:19,920 multiple data points for individual 317 00:11:24,550 --> 00:11:22,560 cases so you know we talk about modern 318 00:11:26,550 --> 00:11:24,560 cases like the nimitz encounter for 319 00:11:28,949 --> 00:11:26,560 example how there's you know testimony 320 00:11:31,509 --> 00:11:28,959 there's radar apparently well the a lot 321 00:11:33,430 --> 00:11:31,519 of these cases dating right back 322 00:11:35,590 --> 00:11:33,440 i have got that as well 323 00:11:37,670 --> 00:11:35,600 uh yeah you just have to be patient find 324 00:11:39,190 --> 00:11:37,680 it and then put it all together but when 325 00:11:40,630 --> 00:11:39,200 these other things sorry just to jump in 326 00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:40,640 there's other things as well you can 327 00:11:44,470 --> 00:11:42,560 look at the the names of the people 328 00:11:47,190 --> 00:11:44,480 involved and you can search 329 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:47,200 old newspapers and you get you might get 330 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:48,720 more information that way from a case 331 00:11:52,310 --> 00:11:50,399 which doesn't necessarily make it into 332 00:11:54,150 --> 00:11:52,320 the the official investigation such as 333 00:11:56,230 --> 00:11:54,160 blue book and then you can chase down 334 00:11:57,590 --> 00:11:56,240 those people and then occasionally very 335 00:11:58,790 --> 00:11:57,600 very occasionally you'll find that they 336 00:12:00,870 --> 00:11:58,800 actually write 337 00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:00,880 um accounts of these sightings 338 00:12:07,269 --> 00:12:03,440 themselves for sometimes little known 339 00:12:09,269 --> 00:12:07,279 ufo newsletters in the 50s 60s and 70s 340 00:12:10,870 --> 00:12:09,279 and that's another good way of finding 341 00:12:12,949 --> 00:12:10,880 just a little bit you know more 342 00:12:14,949 --> 00:12:12,959 information about certain cases 343 00:12:17,430 --> 00:12:14,959 um which just adds up to you know just 344 00:12:19,670 --> 00:12:17,440 to build a bigger picture and also these 345 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:19,680 are people's personal recollections so 346 00:12:23,670 --> 00:12:20,880 they're not necessarily a hundred 347 00:12:25,829 --> 00:12:23,680 percent accurate but 348 00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:25,839 that picture just expands more than just 349 00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:28,240 a few brief words in an intelligence 350 00:12:31,030 --> 00:12:29,920 document 351 00:12:32,629 --> 00:12:31,040 absolutely 352 00:12:34,389 --> 00:12:32,639 so let's let's move on to this first 353 00:12:35,670 --> 00:12:34,399 case that we i wanted to discuss and i 354 00:12:39,030 --> 00:12:35,680 think this one is from dawn of the 355 00:12:41,750 --> 00:12:39,040 flying sources am i right yeah it is so 356 00:12:46,069 --> 00:12:41,760 let's bring up my screen 357 00:12:49,350 --> 00:12:46,079 so this is the 1946 to 1949 aerial ufo 358 00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:49,360 encounters and official investigations 359 00:12:53,190 --> 00:12:51,680 written by yourself forward by george 360 00:12:55,750 --> 00:12:53,200 knapp that's uh 361 00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:55,760 it's amazing isn't it um really happy 362 00:12:57,750 --> 00:12:56,959 with that 363 00:12:59,910 --> 00:12:57,760 yeah 364 00:13:02,550 --> 00:12:59,920 right so i'm just gonna 365 00:13:03,990 --> 00:13:02,560 go to the first image so 366 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:04,000 here we go then 367 00:13:10,069 --> 00:13:07,040 so the picture is a of a a 368 00:13:11,750 --> 00:13:10,079 another uh 61 black widow now those of 369 00:13:13,829 --> 00:13:11,760 you and i see you wearing the t-shirt or 370 00:13:16,069 --> 00:13:13,839 the cover there uh of the foo fighters 371 00:13:18,150 --> 00:13:16,079 book that i wrote last year these 372 00:13:20,310 --> 00:13:18,160 aircraft uh figured um they were sort of 373 00:13:21,990 --> 00:13:20,320 featured quite heavily in that because a 374 00:13:24,230 --> 00:13:22,000 couple of squadrons that were seeing 375 00:13:25,670 --> 00:13:24,240 them in in belgium and also in italy 376 00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:25,680 were flying this particular type of 377 00:13:30,230 --> 00:13:27,279 aircraft it's actually a night fighter 378 00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:30,240 and it was the first um 379 00:13:34,389 --> 00:13:32,320 aircraft that the americans built for 380 00:13:37,670 --> 00:13:34,399 their uh for their army air force it was 381 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,680 a specific knight fighter um so you had 382 00:13:41,910 --> 00:13:39,839 either crew of two or a crew three so 383 00:13:43,189 --> 00:13:41,920 there was a pilot there was a radar 384 00:13:45,269 --> 00:13:43,199 observer who 385 00:13:47,269 --> 00:13:45,279 obviously operated the airborne radar 386 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:47,279 system and sometimes they had a gunner 387 00:13:50,629 --> 00:13:48,800 on board this aircraft here doesn't have 388 00:13:52,870 --> 00:13:50,639 one but they occasionally had a remote 389 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,880 controlled gun turret on top you can see 390 00:13:55,670 --> 00:13:54,320 a kind of little circle on top of the 391 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:55,680 aircraft and that's where it would have 392 00:13:59,509 --> 00:13:57,199 been fitted so there could have been 393 00:14:01,110 --> 00:13:59,519 sometimes a third member of crew on some 394 00:14:02,389 --> 00:14:01,120 of these types of aircraft i'm just 395 00:14:03,829 --> 00:14:02,399 going to refer to a couple of notes 396 00:14:07,430 --> 00:14:03,839 because i want to actually 397 00:14:09,350 --> 00:14:07,440 read out um part of the um the the 398 00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:09,360 intelligence document with this 399 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:11,360 particular case i'll i'll sort of set 400 00:14:16,069 --> 00:14:13,920 the scene as well so we're looking at 401 00:14:19,269 --> 00:14:16,079 the 13th of sorry the 15th of october 402 00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:19,279 1948 and this is off the coast of japan 403 00:14:23,030 --> 00:14:20,880 and this is so this is before the korean 404 00:14:24,310 --> 00:14:23,040 war the korean war so you're looking at 405 00:14:27,750 --> 00:14:24,320 about a year and a half before that 406 00:14:29,670 --> 00:14:27,760 kicked off um it's during the american 407 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:29,680 occupation of japan after the second 408 00:14:33,829 --> 00:14:31,680 world war and they've got air bases 409 00:14:35,350 --> 00:14:33,839 there where they're flying aircraft uh 410 00:14:37,750 --> 00:14:35,360 and they're flying you know sort of 411 00:14:39,269 --> 00:14:37,760 patrols over the yellow sea and uh 412 00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:39,279 places around japan because obviously 413 00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:40,959 there's a possible threat they get from 414 00:14:46,069 --> 00:14:43,440 the chinese the the communists but also 415 00:14:48,629 --> 00:14:46,079 from the russians as well so it's a it's 416 00:14:49,910 --> 00:14:48,639 not a flash point as such quite then but 417 00:14:52,790 --> 00:14:49,920 it's a place where i'll see the 418 00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:52,800 americans are heavily invested and this 419 00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:54,639 is actually this happens a fortnight 420 00:14:59,350 --> 00:14:57,680 after the so-called gorman dogfight um 421 00:15:00,949 --> 00:14:59,360 which 422 00:15:03,829 --> 00:15:00,959 i've talked about at length elsewhere 423 00:15:06,310 --> 00:15:03,839 which was a that this happened uh to a 424 00:15:08,710 --> 00:15:06,320 piece 61 um a national guard pilot where 425 00:15:13,350 --> 00:15:08,720 he had a dog fight with a light uh one 426 00:15:15,910 --> 00:15:13,360 night um around his um fargo um in 427 00:15:18,150 --> 00:15:15,920 in america so this is say just like two 428 00:15:19,829 --> 00:15:18,160 weeks afterwards and the crew of uh it 429 00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:19,839 was actually kind of f61 black widow 430 00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:23,360 they changed the designation in 1947 um 431 00:15:27,590 --> 00:15:25,519 based in japan and it was involved in 432 00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:27,600 what their they described as a series of 433 00:15:31,910 --> 00:15:29,839 cat and mouse interceptions 434 00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:31,920 of what they thought was an unidentified 435 00:15:36,150 --> 00:15:34,399 radar contact now it wasn't just a radar 436 00:15:38,389 --> 00:15:36,160 contact it was actually a visual contact 437 00:15:40,710 --> 00:15:38,399 as well because the pilot saw something 438 00:15:42,629 --> 00:15:40,720 in the sky so you're looking at one of 439 00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:42,639 maybe not the first but certainly one of 440 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,320 the first uh radar visual cases um in 441 00:15:50,470 --> 00:15:48,399 the kind of ufo legend 442 00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:50,480 the foo fighter cases from the war from 443 00:15:54,230 --> 00:15:52,800 the second world war were visual only 444 00:15:56,550 --> 00:15:54,240 that they were never picked up on 445 00:15:59,030 --> 00:15:56,560 airborne radar or ground radar 446 00:16:01,269 --> 00:15:59,040 um but what was kind of strange about 447 00:16:03,430 --> 00:16:01,279 this particular case was whatever they 448 00:16:05,670 --> 00:16:03,440 were chasing and whatever was sort of 449 00:16:08,710 --> 00:16:05,680 chasing them at one point 450 00:16:10,629 --> 00:16:08,720 was its ability to either dawdle around 451 00:16:13,509 --> 00:16:10,639 very very slowly at about 200 miles an 452 00:16:15,670 --> 00:16:13,519 hour um and it was almost letting the 453 00:16:17,670 --> 00:16:15,680 aircraft catch up to it and then it was 454 00:16:20,069 --> 00:16:17,680 rocket enough into the distance and they 455 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:20,079 estimated based on the time it took to 456 00:16:25,990 --> 00:16:22,560 sort of disappear off the screen in the 457 00:16:28,150 --> 00:16:26,000 aircraft at 1 200 miles an hour which is 458 00:16:31,910 --> 00:16:28,160 really really quick and they wouldn't 459 00:16:34,389 --> 00:16:31,920 break that speed record until 1957. so 460 00:16:36,389 --> 00:16:34,399 you know you're looking at 1948 here 461 00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:36,399 there were no aircraft in the world that 462 00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:38,560 could actually do that kind of speed 463 00:16:41,829 --> 00:16:39,279 so 464 00:16:43,910 --> 00:16:41,839 that's quite notable and although it's 465 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:43,920 not quite the same we're looking you 466 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,040 know in terms of things that defy 467 00:16:51,670 --> 00:16:50,160 um known technology you're almost 468 00:16:52,790 --> 00:16:51,680 getting the tech tap territory there 469 00:16:55,670 --> 00:16:52,800 you're getting things that you have 470 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:55,680 abrupt change of the speed can can zoom 471 00:16:59,749 --> 00:16:58,399 off at speeds which are way in advance 472 00:17:01,590 --> 00:16:59,759 of anything that the you know the 473 00:17:03,509 --> 00:17:01,600 current technology could could have 474 00:17:06,309 --> 00:17:03,519 accomplished and you're talking about a 475 00:17:08,549 --> 00:17:06,319 top speed of about 550 600 miles an hour 476 00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,559 back then it's not that quick even for 477 00:17:12,870 --> 00:17:10,799 the even for the sort of the the the 478 00:17:15,029 --> 00:17:12,880 late model jets back in 479 00:17:17,189 --> 00:17:15,039 in the late in the 1940s that the kind 480 00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:17,199 of p80 shooting star on the peanut or 481 00:17:21,350 --> 00:17:19,360 the f94 starfighter 482 00:17:23,590 --> 00:17:21,360 anyway so we're looking at two crew on 483 00:17:26,069 --> 00:17:23,600 board this f61 there's a pilot who was 484 00:17:28,150 --> 00:17:26,079 called oliver hempel and his radar 485 00:17:30,549 --> 00:17:28,160 operator who was called barton helter 486 00:17:32,310 --> 00:17:30,559 and in a statement that was made is 487 00:17:34,310 --> 00:17:32,320 actually made quite a lot later so 488 00:17:35,990 --> 00:17:34,320 you're looking at three months later so 489 00:17:38,870 --> 00:17:36,000 it took a long time for this information 490 00:17:41,190 --> 00:17:38,880 to come out um for various reasons which 491 00:17:43,510 --> 00:17:41,200 are unclear at this stage 492 00:17:46,070 --> 00:17:43,520 he provided an account of what he's uh 493 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:46,080 he's piloted and he had experienced that 494 00:17:50,070 --> 00:17:47,919 night and if you don't mind vinnie i'll 495 00:17:53,190 --> 00:17:50,080 just read this out if i if that's all 496 00:17:55,350 --> 00:17:53,200 right go for it yeah yeah okay so he 497 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:55,360 says that his present duties are radar 498 00:17:59,110 --> 00:17:57,120 and communications maintenance officer 499 00:18:02,070 --> 00:17:59,120 and the radar observer night fighter 500 00:18:05,029 --> 00:18:02,080 with a 68 fighter squadron 347 fighter 501 00:18:06,950 --> 00:18:05,039 group um 15th of october 1948 my pilot 502 00:18:09,029 --> 00:18:06,960 and i started out on a routine mission 503 00:18:11,110 --> 00:18:09,039 on the northwest coast of kyushu which 504 00:18:12,789 --> 00:18:11,120 is one of the islands in japan so it's 505 00:18:16,630 --> 00:18:12,799 the main island 506 00:18:19,830 --> 00:18:16,640 and he says when at 23.05 hours we're at 507 00:18:21,830 --> 00:18:19,840 approximately 50 miles from and he names 508 00:18:24,470 --> 00:18:21,840 a city which i can't pronounce 509 00:18:26,230 --> 00:18:24,480 um i picked up an airborne target it 510 00:18:29,190 --> 00:18:26,240 showed up with a range of five miles 511 00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:29,200 dead ahead and slightly below us so 512 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:30,960 that's the radar operator saying that 513 00:18:33,510 --> 00:18:32,480 he's picked up something on his airborne 514 00:18:35,669 --> 00:18:33,520 radar 515 00:18:37,510 --> 00:18:35,679 he then says we increased our speed to 516 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:37,520 approximately 220 miles an hour and 517 00:18:41,190 --> 00:18:39,360 obtained an advantage of 20 miles an 518 00:18:42,470 --> 00:18:41,200 hour so we're gaining on this object at 519 00:18:44,470 --> 00:18:42,480 20 miles an hour 520 00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:44,480 the target showed no evasive action at 521 00:18:47,590 --> 00:18:46,080 first and we thought it was probably one 522 00:18:48,789 --> 00:18:47,600 of the fighter aircraft from our home 523 00:18:50,950 --> 00:18:48,799 field 524 00:18:53,350 --> 00:18:50,960 as we closed in i noticed a slight 525 00:18:56,230 --> 00:18:53,360 change in azimuth and a rapid closure 526 00:18:58,390 --> 00:18:56,240 between us so the object had changed uh 527 00:19:00,230 --> 00:18:58,400 the way it was going and it was seem to 528 00:19:01,590 --> 00:19:00,240 be heading either slowing down or what 529 00:19:03,350 --> 00:19:01,600 was heading for them 530 00:19:03,900 --> 00:19:03,360 we dived in an attempt to follow the 531 00:19:05,669 --> 00:19:03,910 target 532 00:19:06,549 --> 00:19:05,679 [Music] 533 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:06,559 and 534 00:19:09,830 --> 00:19:08,320 uh before we could get squared away to 535 00:19:12,710 --> 00:19:09,840 follow it it had passed beneath us and 536 00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:12,720 was gone i noticed notified by my pilot 537 00:19:15,750 --> 00:19:14,000 we're diving the rate of three and a 538 00:19:19,110 --> 00:19:15,760 half thousand feet a minute 300 miles an 539 00:19:20,549 --> 00:19:19,120 hour um and it was gone the next or 540 00:19:21,830 --> 00:19:20,559 second interception so this is the 541 00:19:23,029 --> 00:19:21,840 second one 542 00:19:24,870 --> 00:19:23,039 was real 543 00:19:27,029 --> 00:19:24,880 from the rear of the target 544 00:19:29,270 --> 00:19:27,039 again as the first but then it put on a 545 00:19:30,710 --> 00:19:29,280 burst of speed and out distanced us 546 00:19:33,990 --> 00:19:30,720 immediately 547 00:19:35,830 --> 00:19:34,000 um and then when we made another pickup 548 00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:35,840 it was so in a different distance and a 549 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:38,240 different altitude uh so the pilot 550 00:19:42,070 --> 00:19:40,400 turned to try and head off the target to 551 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:42,080 try and catch it up again and again 552 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:44,000 there was a sudden burst of speed and it 553 00:19:49,430 --> 00:19:47,760 disappeared um sort of ten miles uh away 554 00:19:51,830 --> 00:19:49,440 now that was the actual outer limit of 555 00:19:54,549 --> 00:19:51,840 the scope on the aircraft which was 10 556 00:19:57,110 --> 00:19:54,559 miles for airborne targets and according 557 00:19:59,510 --> 00:19:57,120 to the radar survey uh observer um 558 00:20:00,549 --> 00:19:59,520 halter he said that it took 15 to 20 559 00:20:02,789 --> 00:20:00,559 seconds 560 00:20:05,830 --> 00:20:02,799 now if you estimate the time the dis the 561 00:20:07,430 --> 00:20:05,840 speed rather based on the 10 miles in 15 562 00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:07,440 to 20 seconds you're looking in excess 563 00:20:12,149 --> 00:20:09,200 of 1200 miles an hour 564 00:20:13,190 --> 00:20:12,159 so that's how you work that out um and 565 00:20:15,190 --> 00:20:13,200 they said 566 00:20:17,350 --> 00:20:15,200 in their opinion they were showing a new 567 00:20:21,190 --> 00:20:17,360 type of aircraft that some by some 568 00:20:23,350 --> 00:20:21,200 agency unknown to us and then there's a 569 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:23,360 huge amount of information from the um 570 00:20:27,190 --> 00:20:24,799 from the intelligence people who looked 571 00:20:29,590 --> 00:20:27,200 at this as well um and the fact that the 572 00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:29,600 ground radars couldn't pick it up but 573 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:31,600 the pilot had seen this thing and then 574 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:33,679 of course it was picked on radar as well 575 00:20:36,950 --> 00:20:34,480 so 576 00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:36,960 it wasn't just it was a like a radar 577 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:39,200 angel that the pilot had seen something 578 00:20:43,029 --> 00:20:40,480 although he couldn't work out what it 579 00:20:45,029 --> 00:20:43,039 was he could just see an object and you 580 00:20:47,750 --> 00:20:45,039 know it was it was it was slightly 581 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,760 discernible um you couldn't estimate the 582 00:20:51,510 --> 00:20:49,440 size of it or whether it was jet or 583 00:20:54,710 --> 00:20:51,520 propeller driven there was no trail no 584 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:54,720 exhaust flame um but it was also much 585 00:20:58,950 --> 00:20:56,480 much faster and much more maneuverable 586 00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:58,960 than them um they had a actually at one 587 00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:00,720 point and the pilot had a silhouette of 588 00:21:04,630 --> 00:21:03,440 the target um but you couldn't work out 589 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,640 what it was because it didn't look like 590 00:21:08,149 --> 00:21:06,240 anything you'd seen before and you 591 00:21:09,430 --> 00:21:08,159 couldn't really even describe it 592 00:21:11,350 --> 00:21:09,440 and you've got a picture of it there i 593 00:21:14,789 --> 00:21:11,360 believe has sent you a picture of it yes 594 00:21:18,230 --> 00:21:17,350 so that was what you said it looked like 595 00:21:20,549 --> 00:21:18,240 and 596 00:21:21,830 --> 00:21:20,559 you know that that it's 597 00:21:23,029 --> 00:21:21,840 well 598 00:21:24,630 --> 00:21:23,039 that 599 00:21:26,390 --> 00:21:24,640 it defies description really it looks 600 00:21:28,470 --> 00:21:26,400 like an error form so you've got that 601 00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:28,480 kind of curved upper surface of like a 602 00:21:34,149 --> 00:21:31,520 wing cross section and a flat underside 603 00:21:36,470 --> 00:21:34,159 but it's terms of an object well it 604 00:21:38,230 --> 00:21:36,480 doesn't resemble anything really so but 605 00:21:40,950 --> 00:21:38,240 that was what they were chasing and what 606 00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:40,960 i distanced them very very quickly 607 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:42,720 so it's literally that oblong shape 608 00:21:45,909 --> 00:21:44,880 thing no wings no control surfaces 609 00:21:46,789 --> 00:21:45,919 they're kind of 610 00:21:48,870 --> 00:21:46,799 i mean 611 00:21:51,029 --> 00:21:48,880 how dissimilar is that to a tic tac i 612 00:21:52,710 --> 00:21:51,039 mean it's not the the shape of a tic tac 613 00:21:54,390 --> 00:21:52,720 but it's not far off 614 00:21:57,510 --> 00:21:54,400 that's right so and this and this is 615 00:21:58,549 --> 00:21:57,520 what 48 did you say i took 48. that's 616 00:21:59,830 --> 00:21:58,559 incredible 617 00:22:00,950 --> 00:21:59,840 so you can see this in the blue book 618 00:22:02,630 --> 00:22:00,960 files 619 00:22:04,789 --> 00:22:02,640 and you can actually read um you can 620 00:22:07,430 --> 00:22:04,799 read the the interview that um 621 00:22:09,110 --> 00:22:07,440 the red observation observer gave to the 622 00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:09,120 investigators 623 00:22:12,549 --> 00:22:10,799 and you can also read the intelligence 624 00:22:14,789 --> 00:22:12,559 summary uh you know and what they 625 00:22:16,470 --> 00:22:14,799 thought as well so it's all there and if 626 00:22:17,990 --> 00:22:16,480 you read anything else you read my book 627 00:22:19,350 --> 00:22:18,000 you'll see it as well because that's 628 00:22:22,230 --> 00:22:19,360 where most of that information comes 629 00:22:24,149 --> 00:22:22,240 from um so yeah so these are things that 630 00:22:26,149 --> 00:22:24,159 were seen really early now of course 631 00:22:27,510 --> 00:22:26,159 someone might turn around and say well 632 00:22:29,830 --> 00:22:27,520 is this chinese or russian because 633 00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:29,840 that's what they talk about nowadays but 634 00:22:34,230 --> 00:22:31,760 you have to remember back in 1948 the 635 00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:34,240 chinese um you know sort of technology 636 00:22:38,149 --> 00:22:36,720 base was practically non-existent um 637 00:22:39,350 --> 00:22:38,159 they were in the middle of a civil war 638 00:22:41,990 --> 00:22:39,360 that just come out of the civil war 639 00:22:44,549 --> 00:22:42,000 rather and um you know they were 640 00:22:46,310 --> 00:22:44,559 essentially no not much further along 641 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,320 than the kind of warlord culture that 642 00:22:49,909 --> 00:22:48,240 they had back then you know their 643 00:22:51,510 --> 00:22:49,919 technology based for churning out 644 00:22:52,549 --> 00:22:51,520 aircraft and weapons 645 00:22:54,149 --> 00:22:52,559 you know they were relying on other 646 00:22:55,430 --> 00:22:54,159 countries to supply them with things and 647 00:22:56,470 --> 00:22:55,440 the russians weren't in the stage then 648 00:22:58,149 --> 00:22:56,480 when they were actually given the 649 00:22:59,669 --> 00:22:58,159 chinese too much in the good in terms of 650 00:23:01,350 --> 00:22:59,679 good stuff but actually the russians 651 00:23:03,430 --> 00:23:01,360 didn't have anything like that could fly 652 00:23:05,990 --> 00:23:03,440 at that speed anyway 653 00:23:07,990 --> 00:23:06,000 they were still in the first generation 654 00:23:10,310 --> 00:23:08,000 jet fighters so you're looking at 655 00:23:12,789 --> 00:23:10,320 things like the yak 15 and the mate and 656 00:23:15,029 --> 00:23:12,799 the mig-9 which were really early types 657 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:15,039 of jets and they were all based or the 658 00:23:18,549 --> 00:23:17,280 engines were based on german wartime 659 00:23:21,669 --> 00:23:18,559 technology they were in fact they were 660 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:21,679 copies of german wartime turbojets and 661 00:23:24,390 --> 00:23:23,360 then you had things like the mig-15 were 662 00:23:25,590 --> 00:23:24,400 just coming along they were just 663 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:25,600 prototypes and they were just coming 664 00:23:29,029 --> 00:23:27,600 into their first flights but you know 665 00:23:30,630 --> 00:23:29,039 you you wouldn't send them across 666 00:23:32,390 --> 00:23:30,640 somewhere like that and they they were 667 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:32,400 kept under lock and key in the middle of 668 00:23:35,270 --> 00:23:33,840 russia so 669 00:23:37,430 --> 00:23:35,280 in terms of what these were what this 670 00:23:38,630 --> 00:23:37,440 thing was you know and it's anybody's 671 00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:38,640 guess really 672 00:23:43,029 --> 00:23:40,799 so out of all those countries and 673 00:23:44,710 --> 00:23:43,039 uh aircraft that you mentioned there 674 00:23:47,190 --> 00:23:44,720 you'd say the top speed of all of them 675 00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:47,200 or the most would be 500. well yeah you 676 00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:49,039 look at it from the estimate i mean if 677 00:23:52,549 --> 00:23:50,480 if the thick if the the fingers are 678 00:23:54,230 --> 00:23:52,559 accurate to what he said so it's like 10 679 00:23:55,669 --> 00:23:54,240 miles distance from when they when it 680 00:23:58,230 --> 00:23:55,679 where it was plotted to when it 681 00:24:00,230 --> 00:23:58,240 disappeared uh off the off the scope and 682 00:24:02,630 --> 00:24:00,240 in the time it took which was you said 683 00:24:05,029 --> 00:24:02,640 15 to 20 seconds estimated then you're 684 00:24:08,070 --> 00:24:05,039 looking at about 1200 miles an hour or 685 00:24:09,669 --> 00:24:08,080 more of it um that's let's say twice the 686 00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:09,679 speed of anything that was up in 687 00:24:12,789 --> 00:24:11,840 operational service at that particular 688 00:24:14,710 --> 00:24:12,799 time 689 00:24:16,470 --> 00:24:14,720 that's amazing listen before we jump 690 00:24:19,430 --> 00:24:16,480 onto the next case everybody in the live 691 00:24:20,870 --> 00:24:19,440 chat i am seeing your questions i think 692 00:24:23,029 --> 00:24:20,880 but if you can put them in capital 693 00:24:25,830 --> 00:24:23,039 letters i definitely are more likely to 694 00:24:28,950 --> 00:24:25,840 see them um so so far i've got jeff 695 00:24:30,470 --> 00:24:28,960 jason and vishwa i've got your questions 696 00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:30,480 in fact before we jump on to the next 697 00:24:33,909 --> 00:24:32,400 case let's jump into a couple of these 698 00:24:35,669 --> 00:24:33,919 so 699 00:24:38,710 --> 00:24:35,679 jeff says vinnie i have a question for 700 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:38,720 graham are there any modern day hotspots 701 00:24:42,230 --> 00:24:40,640 that seem to be associated with areas of 702 00:24:43,269 --> 00:24:42,240 sightings from the world war two time 703 00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:43,279 period 704 00:24:48,390 --> 00:24:44,559 um yeah 705 00:24:50,070 --> 00:24:48,400 look at the 1990 kind of 1989 to 93 wave 706 00:24:52,950 --> 00:24:50,080 the belgian triangles 707 00:24:54,230 --> 00:24:52,960 um so that happened in a sort of part of 708 00:24:56,149 --> 00:24:54,240 well i'll see it happened over kind of 709 00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:56,159 southern belgium and you know that kind 710 00:25:01,510 --> 00:24:59,360 of area and there were some cases from 711 00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:01,520 the um from the foo fighter period of 712 00:25:05,909 --> 00:25:03,760 november to the end of the 44 to the end 713 00:25:09,350 --> 00:25:05,919 of the war that happened in that 714 00:25:12,310 --> 00:25:09,360 particular area uh with the the 422nd 715 00:25:14,630 --> 00:25:12,320 night fight squadron so yes that's one i 716 00:25:16,310 --> 00:25:14,640 can think of but then 717 00:25:18,549 --> 00:25:16,320 you look at some of the places that were 718 00:25:21,269 --> 00:25:18,559 supposedly hot spots for for wartime 719 00:25:23,110 --> 00:25:21,279 activities they're not necessarily the 720 00:25:25,029 --> 00:25:23,120 same now so you're looking at the po 721 00:25:26,870 --> 00:25:25,039 valley in northern italy that doesn't 722 00:25:29,190 --> 00:25:26,880 really feature much i mean i'm not 723 00:25:31,510 --> 00:25:29,200 actually up to speed too much on ufo 724 00:25:33,350 --> 00:25:31,520 cases in italy uh at the present so 725 00:25:35,110 --> 00:25:33,360 there may well be but it's not you know 726 00:25:36,789 --> 00:25:35,120 something that tends to to break into 727 00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:36,799 the you know more mainstream kind of 728 00:25:40,549 --> 00:25:39,200 like knowledge of um modern day ufo 729 00:25:43,110 --> 00:25:40,559 encounters so i could be wrong on that 730 00:25:45,029 --> 00:25:43,120 but i don't think i am and then the rest 731 00:25:48,149 --> 00:25:45,039 of them well there's no real hotspot 732 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:48,159 beyond those those areas so 733 00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:50,320 you know i can't really sort of like 734 00:25:52,789 --> 00:25:51,600 sort of give you an answer for the rest 735 00:25:54,789 --> 00:25:52,799 of it 736 00:25:57,590 --> 00:25:54,799 interesting thank you thanks for the 737 00:25:59,669 --> 00:25:57,600 question jeff uh let's jump into jason's 738 00:26:02,070 --> 00:25:59,679 jason asks if there are any plans to 739 00:26:05,750 --> 00:26:02,080 narrate audiobook versions of your books 740 00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,390 we've got these conversations we've had 741 00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:11,039 privately i think i think it comes down 742 00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:13,840 to um being able to do it and be able to 743 00:26:17,110 --> 00:26:14,799 actually 744 00:26:18,870 --> 00:26:17,120 sort of feel um kind of the technology 745 00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:18,880 being there to for me to be comfortable 746 00:26:23,510 --> 00:26:20,799 with doing it and also getting people to 747 00:26:25,350 --> 00:26:23,520 help because uh my voice isn't great to 748 00:26:26,950 --> 00:26:25,360 be able to nobody's gonna understand me 749 00:26:30,230 --> 00:26:26,960 uh if we'll get andy doing it then we're 750 00:26:32,149 --> 00:26:30,240 gonna need subtitles um 751 00:26:33,029 --> 00:26:32,159 sorry andy 752 00:26:33,990 --> 00:26:33,039 um 753 00:26:36,149 --> 00:26:34,000 so 754 00:26:39,269 --> 00:26:36,159 you know it it will i'm sure it'll 755 00:26:40,870 --> 00:26:39,279 happen one day jason um but i'm maybe 756 00:26:42,950 --> 00:26:40,880 not right at this moment but yeah it'd 757 00:26:45,909 --> 00:26:42,960 be a lovely thing to have 758 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:45,919 the foo fighter book mind it's 550 pages 759 00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:47,760 that would take a very very long time 760 00:26:51,750 --> 00:26:49,679 and the chapters are quite long whereas 761 00:26:53,750 --> 00:26:51,760 the dawn of the flying saucers 762 00:26:55,830 --> 00:26:53,760 is probably an ideal one to start 763 00:26:58,549 --> 00:26:55,840 because the chapters are much much 764 00:27:00,390 --> 00:26:58,559 shorter and they're more punchy so 765 00:27:04,070 --> 00:27:00,400 yeah how many chapters are there in the 766 00:27:05,269 --> 00:27:04,080 foo fighter book uh 18 or 19. 767 00:27:06,789 --> 00:27:05,279 so here's here's something like that 768 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,799 some of them are somewhere quite long 769 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:08,480 though 770 00:27:12,230 --> 00:27:10,000 you're talking about like you know 70 or 771 00:27:13,990 --> 00:27:12,240 80 pages some of the chapters 772 00:27:16,870 --> 00:27:14,000 so here's the thing you know here's an 773 00:27:18,870 --> 00:27:16,880 idea he gets however 18 774 00:27:20,630 --> 00:27:18,880 separate members of the ufo community to 775 00:27:21,990 --> 00:27:20,640 do a chapter each 776 00:27:23,190 --> 00:27:22,000 i mean what do people think i'd love to 777 00:27:25,110 --> 00:27:23,200 know what people think 778 00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:25,120 would you like listening to 779 00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:27,440 loads of people you you know talking or 780 00:27:30,950 --> 00:27:29,039 do you want one person doing the whole 781 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:30,960 book and actually if if that was the 782 00:27:35,029 --> 00:27:33,120 case who would you want to narrate them 783 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:35,039 now don't say ross because he would just 784 00:27:38,549 --> 00:27:36,640 do the voices for all of them and he 785 00:27:41,269 --> 00:27:38,559 could do 18 different voices and 786 00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:41,279 probably nobody would be the wiser 787 00:27:44,389 --> 00:27:42,880 absolutely but 788 00:27:46,389 --> 00:27:44,399 yeah so hopefully in the future we'll 789 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:46,399 get there the audios 790 00:27:50,950 --> 00:27:48,480 vishwas question uh would something like 791 00:27:52,070 --> 00:27:50,960 render some forest be mod u.s pentagon 792 00:27:54,470 --> 00:27:52,080 or both 793 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:54,480 well there's a 64 thousand dollar 794 00:27:58,470 --> 00:27:55,840 question it's like the calvi so we're 795 00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,480 gonna go about this we're gonna calvin 796 00:28:03,750 --> 00:28:00,480 you know the jury's out on that a lot of 797 00:28:06,789 --> 00:28:03,760 people say well yes it's some secret u.s 798 00:28:08,549 --> 00:28:06,799 technology and i can be swayed that way 799 00:28:10,310 --> 00:28:08,559 but equally if you're looking at things 800 00:28:11,990 --> 00:28:10,320 that hover in mid-air and then zoom off 801 00:28:13,430 --> 00:28:12,000 into the you know into the stratosphere 802 00:28:15,110 --> 00:28:13,440 at a rate of nuts 803 00:28:16,630 --> 00:28:15,120 can we build that kind of technology and 804 00:28:18,870 --> 00:28:16,640 if so why isn't it you know in 805 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:18,880 circulation 32 years later and you could 806 00:28:23,350 --> 00:28:21,279 look at the same religion um which was 807 00:28:26,230 --> 00:28:23,360 even earlier so why hasn't that 808 00:28:28,630 --> 00:28:26,240 technology appeared so there's 809 00:28:30,310 --> 00:28:28,640 no grounds to sort of suspect it might 810 00:28:31,669 --> 00:28:30,320 be but equally there's things on the 811 00:28:33,029 --> 00:28:31,679 other side of the argument that say well 812 00:28:34,870 --> 00:28:33,039 no because surely this would have 813 00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:34,880 happened by now so 814 00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:37,360 i'm sorry i can't i can't say one way or 815 00:28:41,350 --> 00:28:38,880 another we just don't have enough 816 00:28:44,310 --> 00:28:41,360 information at this stage to to say yes 817 00:28:45,510 --> 00:28:44,320 or to say no um so more digging is 818 00:28:47,190 --> 00:28:45,520 needed 819 00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:47,200 but am i right in saying when i know for 820 00:28:49,909 --> 00:28:49,279 sure that renders features heavily in 821 00:29:03,190 --> 00:28:49,919 the 822 00:29:04,230 --> 00:29:03,200 rendersham as well because it was a 823 00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:04,240 joint 824 00:29:09,990 --> 00:29:08,720 yeah there is information out there but 825 00:29:11,669 --> 00:29:10,000 there's certainly no answers at the 826 00:29:13,669 --> 00:29:11,679 moment unfortunately 827 00:29:16,149 --> 00:29:13,679 but thanks for the question anyway and 828 00:29:18,630 --> 00:29:16,159 uh yeah let's uh so we move on to the 829 00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:18,640 next next please 830 00:29:21,350 --> 00:29:20,000 let's bring up 831 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:21,360 this image 832 00:29:24,630 --> 00:29:22,320 and 833 00:29:26,710 --> 00:29:24,640 jump right in there we go 834 00:29:29,510 --> 00:29:26,720 so we have a martin mariner flying boat 835 00:29:31,350 --> 00:29:29,520 and this is the u.s navy so this is i'll 836 00:29:33,510 --> 00:29:31,360 see the major thing at the moment is to 837 00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:33,520 do with u.s navy encounters off the west 838 00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:35,360 coast and east coast of america with the 839 00:29:40,630 --> 00:29:38,399 tic tacs and with um cubes inside 840 00:29:42,630 --> 00:29:40,640 spheres and all the rest of it now us 841 00:29:44,630 --> 00:29:42,640 navy encounters with strange things go 842 00:29:47,830 --> 00:29:44,640 back to actually world war ii but this 843 00:29:50,870 --> 00:29:47,840 is a one uh from 1951 now this appears 844 00:29:53,830 --> 00:29:50,880 in uh flying saucer fever um so we're 845 00:29:56,070 --> 00:29:53,840 looking at november 1951 and this is in 846 00:29:58,149 --> 00:29:56,080 the yellow sea so again we're off china 847 00:30:00,470 --> 00:29:58,159 um and this is a flying a long-range 848 00:30:02,789 --> 00:30:00,480 flying boat on a maritime patrol 849 00:30:04,630 --> 00:30:02,799 basically sort of flying along the you 850 00:30:07,350 --> 00:30:04,640 know the sort of the maritime border 851 00:30:09,909 --> 00:30:07,360 with china if you like out to sea 852 00:30:13,590 --> 00:30:09,919 um but it's also a position which is 853 00:30:16,230 --> 00:30:13,600 equidistant uh between china north korea 854 00:30:18,389 --> 00:30:16,240 um and you know somewhere in japan as 855 00:30:21,350 --> 00:30:18,399 well so it's a kind of flash point area 856 00:30:23,350 --> 00:30:21,360 and of course november 1951 slap bang in 857 00:30:24,310 --> 00:30:23,360 the middle of the korean war 858 00:30:27,350 --> 00:30:24,320 so 859 00:30:29,269 --> 00:30:27,360 naturally um aircraft based in japan in 860 00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:29,279 japan and also south korea are going to 861 00:30:32,549 --> 00:30:31,279 be on patrol looking for targets of 862 00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:32,559 opportunity because the chinese are 863 00:30:36,789 --> 00:30:34,159 already in the war by then 864 00:30:38,230 --> 00:30:36,799 so we have this particular statement 865 00:30:40,789 --> 00:30:38,240 that was sent to the headquarters the 866 00:30:44,070 --> 00:30:40,799 far eastern air force uh which was based 867 00:30:46,389 --> 00:30:44,080 in japan um and this was forwarded to 868 00:30:49,750 --> 00:30:46,399 the director of intelligence of the u.s 869 00:30:50,789 --> 00:30:49,760 air force uh on the 12th november 1951 870 00:30:52,630 --> 00:30:50,799 and it 871 00:30:55,350 --> 00:30:52,640 it reads this switch there's only three 872 00:30:58,389 --> 00:30:55,360 paragraphs a waste gunner 873 00:31:00,389 --> 00:30:58,399 on lookout duty at an open waist hatch 874 00:31:02,830 --> 00:31:00,399 cited a light on the port side and 875 00:31:06,389 --> 00:31:02,840 modded and notified the patrol plane 876 00:31:08,149 --> 00:31:06,399 commander the ppc patrol plane commander 877 00:31:09,909 --> 00:31:08,159 saw the light and brought the contact to 878 00:31:12,630 --> 00:31:09,919 the attention of the crew which verified 879 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:12,640 its existence the radar man conf 880 00:31:17,029 --> 00:31:14,960 confirmed the contact reporting the 881 00:31:18,710 --> 00:31:17,039 distance as 12 miles 882 00:31:21,350 --> 00:31:18,720 the light appeared to be a long 883 00:31:23,830 --> 00:31:21,360 conically shaped flame suggesting the 884 00:31:26,149 --> 00:31:23,840 exhaust of a reaction type motor such as 885 00:31:29,110 --> 00:31:26,159 a rocket or a ramjet 886 00:31:31,029 --> 00:31:29,120 the size shape and colour of the flame 887 00:31:32,389 --> 00:31:31,039 seemed to vary during the period of 888 00:31:34,149 --> 00:31:32,399 observation 889 00:31:36,630 --> 00:31:34,159 originally the flame appeared to be 890 00:31:38,549 --> 00:31:36,640 short with a red orange hue 891 00:31:40,710 --> 00:31:38,559 later the flame became longer with a 892 00:31:43,269 --> 00:31:40,720 colour changing to a white orange hue 893 00:31:45,430 --> 00:31:43,279 apparently after power of added 894 00:31:47,509 --> 00:31:45,440 so that again they picked it on radar 895 00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:47,519 but they also saw it 896 00:31:51,110 --> 00:31:48,799 um 897 00:31:53,350 --> 00:31:51,120 the the plane uh the patrol plane 898 00:31:55,190 --> 00:31:53,360 commander turned left towards the 899 00:31:56,950 --> 00:31:55,200 contact attempting to silhouette the 900 00:31:59,590 --> 00:31:56,960 craft against the moon 901 00:32:01,350 --> 00:31:59,600 in order to photograph it evidently the 902 00:32:03,990 --> 00:32:01,360 craft turned away maintaining the 903 00:32:05,430 --> 00:32:04,000 distance of 12 miles so a photograph was 904 00:32:08,310 --> 00:32:05,440 not obtained 905 00:32:09,190 --> 00:32:08,320 consequently and then the name the the 906 00:32:10,710 --> 00:32:09,200 the the 907 00:32:12,470 --> 00:32:10,720 the commander 908 00:32:14,630 --> 00:32:12,480 increased the power setting to rated 909 00:32:17,190 --> 00:32:14,640 power in order to close the range radar 910 00:32:19,110 --> 00:32:17,200 contact was lost but visual contact was 911 00:32:21,029 --> 00:32:19,120 maintained until the estimated range 912 00:32:22,630 --> 00:32:21,039 became three or four miles 913 00:32:24,630 --> 00:32:22,640 meanwhile the crew was able to observe 914 00:32:26,230 --> 00:32:24,640 the body of the crap visually 915 00:32:28,070 --> 00:32:26,240 while in addition the commander was able 916 00:32:29,830 --> 00:32:28,080 to observe the wing shape so that this 917 00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:29,840 thing actually does have wings 918 00:32:32,710 --> 00:32:31,440 or these seems to have wings using 919 00:32:34,630 --> 00:32:32,720 binoculars 920 00:32:37,269 --> 00:32:34,640 the hole was very large estimated to be 921 00:32:39,669 --> 00:32:37,279 60 feet long the wings were swept back 922 00:32:42,470 --> 00:32:39,679 and down with a dihedral at the tips 923 00:32:44,950 --> 00:32:42,480 bending approximately 85 percent of the 924 00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:44,960 wing length there was no empanadas which 925 00:32:49,029 --> 00:32:47,440 means a tail uh that wasn't there and 926 00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:49,039 the craft appeared to be flying at what 927 00:32:53,350 --> 00:32:51,120 they called a high angle of attack so if 928 00:32:55,909 --> 00:32:53,360 you can imagine um that means that 929 00:32:57,990 --> 00:32:55,919 basically that it's nose up so it's like 930 00:33:00,630 --> 00:32:58,000 that it's flying along like this yeah 931 00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,640 weird that's that's what that means and 932 00:33:04,310 --> 00:33:02,080 you'll see in a minute when you when you 933 00:33:05,990 --> 00:33:04,320 pull up the the the diagrams which i 934 00:33:07,669 --> 00:33:06,000 sent you as well but i'll just there's 935 00:33:09,669 --> 00:33:07,679 only a few more lines here 936 00:33:11,350 --> 00:33:09,679 um and he says um 937 00:33:13,750 --> 00:33:11,360 the flight the flight altitude so this 938 00:33:15,750 --> 00:33:13,760 high angle attack suggested a high speed 939 00:33:18,230 --> 00:33:15,760 plane staggering to keep airborne at all 940 00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:18,240 at a slow speed so in other words they 941 00:33:22,950 --> 00:33:20,480 thought it might be like a jet fighter 942 00:33:25,350 --> 00:33:22,960 but having to slow down enough to keep 943 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:25,360 up with or or to keep station on the 944 00:33:28,950 --> 00:33:26,640 flying boat because the flying blow is 945 00:33:30,870 --> 00:33:28,960 quite slow whereas a jet fighter if it 946 00:33:32,710 --> 00:33:30,880 gets to a certain slur a very slow speed 947 00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:32,720 it could stall and fall out the air and 948 00:33:35,990 --> 00:33:34,159 the best thing you do is you basically 949 00:33:38,470 --> 00:33:36,000 pitch the nose up and that's you know 950 00:33:40,070 --> 00:33:38,480 how you keep sort of flying um 951 00:33:41,750 --> 00:33:40,080 in an aircraft like that at least that's 952 00:33:42,950 --> 00:33:41,760 what they suspected 953 00:33:45,110 --> 00:33:42,960 um 954 00:33:47,190 --> 00:33:45,120 and then the last bit is the craft 955 00:33:50,149 --> 00:33:47,200 accelerated slowly increasing the range 956 00:33:52,470 --> 00:33:50,159 to 16 miles as indicated by radar it 957 00:33:55,590 --> 00:33:52,480 then accelerated rapidly to a range of 958 00:33:58,230 --> 00:33:55,600 22 miles when contact was lost 959 00:34:00,870 --> 00:33:58,240 um visual contact was then also lost to 960 00:34:03,190 --> 00:34:00,880 the clouds along actually 16 minutes 961 00:34:05,750 --> 00:34:03,200 after the initial contact the computer 962 00:34:08,069 --> 00:34:05,760 the speed of the aircraft was 530 knots 963 00:34:10,550 --> 00:34:08,079 for the period just before conduct lost 964 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,560 so it's a lot slower than the one that 965 00:34:13,109 --> 00:34:12,320 was seen off japan 966 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:13,119 but 967 00:34:16,230 --> 00:34:14,960 if you can possibly pull up the first 968 00:34:18,230 --> 00:34:16,240 with the images 969 00:34:19,829 --> 00:34:18,240 that i sent you so in the blue book 970 00:34:22,069 --> 00:34:19,839 documentation we've got a couple of 971 00:34:24,470 --> 00:34:22,079 plans of and these are the the sketches 972 00:34:27,510 --> 00:34:24,480 of what the what they said they saw 973 00:34:29,109 --> 00:34:27,520 um now this one yeah okay so you can see 974 00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:29,119 the out the general outline you can see 975 00:34:32,310 --> 00:34:30,800 these wings with it with the the 976 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:32,320 dihedral so that's like the down 977 00:34:37,030 --> 00:34:35,119 slightly downward uh facing uh pointing 978 00:34:39,589 --> 00:34:37,040 wings sorry and then these little kind 979 00:34:41,270 --> 00:34:39,599 of wing tips that pointed upwards 980 00:34:43,829 --> 00:34:41,280 uh if you just pop the next one up 981 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:45,750 and then this one here and this shows 982 00:34:49,430 --> 00:34:47,520 you what the reckoned 983 00:34:51,909 --> 00:34:49,440 it might have been so you can see the 984 00:34:54,230 --> 00:34:51,919 bottom right there um and that's pretty 985 00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:54,240 much from the previous um previous 986 00:34:58,390 --> 00:34:55,919 drawing and then they tried to compare 987 00:35:01,510 --> 00:34:58,400 it to a mig-15 which is a soviet jet 988 00:35:03,030 --> 00:35:01,520 fighter now in some respects yes it does 989 00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:03,040 look quite similar 990 00:35:06,630 --> 00:35:05,760 and without the tail you know it could 991 00:35:07,990 --> 00:35:06,640 be 992 00:35:10,550 --> 00:35:08,000 and actually in my book i do have a 993 00:35:13,430 --> 00:35:10,560 picture of a mig-15 from behind 994 00:35:15,190 --> 00:35:13,440 which is shot by a u.s air force um jet 995 00:35:17,510 --> 00:35:15,200 fighter gun camera as it was about to 996 00:35:20,069 --> 00:35:17,520 shoot one down um so you could see that 997 00:35:21,510 --> 00:35:20,079 you know that's quite accurate um 998 00:35:23,030 --> 00:35:21,520 did i send you a picture of a big 50 and 999 00:35:25,030 --> 00:35:23,040 i think i did so 1000 00:35:26,870 --> 00:35:25,040 yeah yeah so one somebody can see what 1001 00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:26,880 it looks like if they're not familiar 1002 00:35:32,710 --> 00:35:30,320 um there we go so that's a that's a 1003 00:35:34,310 --> 00:35:32,720 soviet picture of the move 15. and this 1004 00:35:36,710 --> 00:35:34,320 is a this is like a kind of second 1005 00:35:40,470 --> 00:35:36,720 generation mig um jet fighter for for 1006 00:35:42,710 --> 00:35:40,480 the russians it was um based on um well 1007 00:35:45,190 --> 00:35:42,720 it was their own design it was based on 1008 00:35:48,069 --> 00:35:45,200 some german technology about sweat wings 1009 00:35:50,310 --> 00:35:48,079 and uh if the labor government hadn't 1010 00:35:52,710 --> 00:35:50,320 supplied some jet engines to the 1011 00:35:55,510 --> 00:35:52,720 russians under some misguided agreement 1012 00:35:57,030 --> 00:35:55,520 in whenever it was 46 or 47 then they 1013 00:35:59,349 --> 00:35:57,040 would never have the technology to build 1014 00:36:01,270 --> 00:35:59,359 upon to build this aircraft also the 1015 00:36:03,510 --> 00:36:01,280 story goes anyway 1016 00:36:05,430 --> 00:36:03,520 the chinese got some of these about the 1017 00:36:07,670 --> 00:36:05,440 time this happened and of course the 1018 00:36:09,270 --> 00:36:07,680 chinese were all outside the chinese 1019 00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:09,280 were also supplying aircraft to the 1020 00:36:12,950 --> 00:36:11,599 north koreans and also the russians were 1021 00:36:14,790 --> 00:36:12,960 supplying these aircraft to the north 1022 00:36:17,190 --> 00:36:14,800 koreans as well and even supplying the 1023 00:36:18,710 --> 00:36:17,200 pilots to fight against the americans 1024 00:36:20,870 --> 00:36:18,720 which it wasn't something that was known 1025 00:36:21,990 --> 00:36:20,880 until you know maybe 20 30 years ago 1026 00:36:23,190 --> 00:36:22,000 kind of thing 1027 00:36:25,349 --> 00:36:23,200 so 1028 00:36:27,910 --> 00:36:25,359 they were in the skies over korea but 1029 00:36:30,230 --> 00:36:27,920 were they over the middle of the sea 1030 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:30,240 now you had to do some kind of creative 1031 00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:32,880 thinking to to work this out but if you 1032 00:36:36,310 --> 00:36:34,320 worked out the kind of endurance of the 1033 00:36:37,270 --> 00:36:36,320 mig-15 and the speeds and all the rest 1034 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:37,280 of it 1035 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:38,960 it wouldn't have had much flying time to 1036 00:36:42,150 --> 00:36:40,480 be able to get out there from the 1037 00:36:45,270 --> 00:36:42,160 nearest base in china or the nearest 1038 00:36:47,670 --> 00:36:45,280 base in north korea it was just too far 1039 00:36:49,589 --> 00:36:47,680 um also the size of the thing was twice 1040 00:36:51,270 --> 00:36:49,599 the size of the mig-15 and mig-50 was 1041 00:36:53,349 --> 00:36:51,280 about 33 foot long this thing was 1042 00:36:55,109 --> 00:36:53,359 estimated at 60. 1043 00:36:56,550 --> 00:36:55,119 so it was mo it was you know it was 1044 00:37:00,150 --> 00:36:56,560 twice the size 1045 00:37:03,750 --> 00:37:00,160 and a mig 15 stalled at about 120 knots 1046 00:37:05,910 --> 00:37:03,760 um so yes okay if the pilot had been 1047 00:37:07,990 --> 00:37:05,920 nose up tried to keep out with a stall 1048 00:37:09,670 --> 00:37:08,000 it could have done it but then it would 1049 00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:09,680 have been using quite a lot of fuel up 1050 00:37:14,069 --> 00:37:12,720 as well um a mig-15 carried about 450 1051 00:37:15,750 --> 00:37:14,079 gallons of field with even with the 1052 00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:15,760 external tanks that the drop tanks if 1053 00:37:18,550 --> 00:37:16,560 you like 1054 00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:18,560 burned it at about five gallons a minute 1055 00:37:22,310 --> 00:37:20,720 so that that was about 45 minutes in 1056 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:22,320 june so that's how much time it had in 1057 00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:24,079 the air from takeoff to landing or 1058 00:37:29,349 --> 00:37:26,320 falling out the sky whichever came first 1059 00:37:30,550 --> 00:37:29,359 um but this sighting lasted for 15 1060 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:30,560 minutes 1061 00:37:34,470 --> 00:37:32,560 so you would have to like the pilot 1062 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:34,480 would have to take off from china would 1063 00:37:39,670 --> 00:37:37,440 have to fly across the ocean um meet up 1064 00:37:41,190 --> 00:37:39,680 with this aircraft and then 1065 00:37:43,349 --> 00:37:41,200 they said it rocketed off into the 1066 00:37:45,030 --> 00:37:43,359 distance you know it it disappeared off 1067 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:45,040 the off from visual and also from the 1068 00:37:49,109 --> 00:37:47,760 radar quite quickly um so it burned 1069 00:37:51,349 --> 00:37:49,119 quite a lot of fuel off that way so 1070 00:37:53,109 --> 00:37:51,359 that's not fuel efficient and then even 1071 00:37:54,710 --> 00:37:53,119 by the time you got back to base given 1072 00:37:56,150 --> 00:37:54,720 the distance and the time you'd have 1073 00:37:58,310 --> 00:37:56,160 been on fumes 1074 00:38:00,069 --> 00:37:58,320 if not falling in the sea so it wasn't 1075 00:38:02,390 --> 00:38:00,079 something that was realistic 1076 00:38:04,310 --> 00:38:02,400 uh back then anyway and also those early 1077 00:38:07,190 --> 00:38:04,320 aircraft didn't have onboard radar and 1078 00:38:10,150 --> 00:38:07,200 the chinese did not have uh radar to be 1079 00:38:11,589 --> 00:38:10,160 able to guide planes back into landings 1080 00:38:13,990 --> 00:38:11,599 um you know 1081 00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:14,000 so it's it's you know people 1082 00:38:17,109 --> 00:38:15,359 some people have said in the past that 1083 00:38:17,990 --> 00:38:17,119 this might have been a big 15. and 1084 00:38:19,910 --> 00:38:18,000 clearly 1085 00:38:21,349 --> 00:38:19,920 the intelligence people thought that 1086 00:38:23,109 --> 00:38:21,359 might be what it was because they came 1087 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:23,119 up with that comparison but when you 1088 00:38:26,470 --> 00:38:24,640 look when you drill down into the 1089 00:38:28,790 --> 00:38:26,480 information and try and work out which 1090 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:28,800 such thing was feasible it wasn't one of 1091 00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:31,440 these so question is what was it 1092 00:38:36,069 --> 00:38:34,720 and that's the 64 000 question again 1093 00:38:38,390 --> 00:38:36,079 it's something that just can't be 1094 00:38:39,910 --> 00:38:38,400 reconciled with anything back then 1095 00:38:41,589 --> 00:38:39,920 the funny thing that got me then is that 1096 00:38:43,829 --> 00:38:41,599 you said that they had radar contact at 1097 00:38:46,230 --> 00:38:43,839 about 12 nautical miles was that right 1098 00:38:47,910 --> 00:38:46,240 but then as they closed to three or four 1099 00:38:49,829 --> 00:38:47,920 they lost it 1100 00:38:52,069 --> 00:38:49,839 that that could be down to the vagaries 1101 00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:52,079 of the the kind of system involved or it 1102 00:38:54,870 --> 00:38:53,760 could be this could be spoofing it could 1103 00:38:56,550 --> 00:38:54,880 be anything it could be a range of 1104 00:38:58,390 --> 00:38:56,560 things why they lost contact but they 1105 00:39:00,230 --> 00:38:58,400 did also re-establish it because as it 1106 00:39:01,829 --> 00:39:00,240 went away they still had it on radar 1107 00:39:03,910 --> 00:39:01,839 until they finally it finally broke 1108 00:39:05,589 --> 00:39:03,920 contract so 1109 00:39:07,990 --> 00:39:05,599 there's various things happening here 1110 00:39:09,190 --> 00:39:08,000 but yes as you say visual contact was 1111 00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:09,200 maintained 1112 00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:11,040 three or four miles away and radar 1113 00:39:15,829 --> 00:39:13,200 contact was lost but they were still 1114 00:39:17,589 --> 00:39:15,839 able to actually see it visually so was 1115 00:39:19,109 --> 00:39:17,599 it what whatever it was was it jamming 1116 00:39:21,190 --> 00:39:19,119 the aircraft was it you know spoofing 1117 00:39:22,630 --> 00:39:21,200 the radar somehow or was it some other 1118 00:39:25,349 --> 00:39:22,640 factor that meant that they'd lost it 1119 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:25,359 was a intermittent glitch you know 1120 00:39:29,349 --> 00:39:27,599 it's not clear on the records i'm afraid 1121 00:39:31,030 --> 00:39:29,359 but you know that's 1122 00:39:33,030 --> 00:39:31,040 unfortunately with the best will in the 1123 00:39:35,190 --> 00:39:33,040 world sometimes you're only kind of you 1124 00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:35,200 know all you've got to go on is what 1125 00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:37,440 they say at the time and sometimes there 1126 00:39:41,589 --> 00:39:39,599 are follow-up questions that um the 1127 00:39:43,829 --> 00:39:41,599 intelligence people when they're you 1128 00:39:45,270 --> 00:39:43,839 know interrogating the witnesses or they 1129 00:39:46,950 --> 00:39:45,280 come back to it later on sometimes 1130 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:46,960 there's follow-up questions and go back 1131 00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:48,640 to the squadrons concerned in this case 1132 00:39:52,069 --> 00:39:49,920 not 1133 00:39:53,190 --> 00:39:52,079 wow it's a fascinating case 1134 00:39:54,390 --> 00:39:53,200 and that's the thing there are just 1135 00:39:56,710 --> 00:39:54,400 things that just 1136 00:39:58,630 --> 00:39:56,720 it's not prosec or the explanation's not 1137 00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:58,640 prosaic and you can't quite figure out 1138 00:40:03,030 --> 00:40:00,480 well somebody somewhere the chat yes 1139 00:40:05,430 --> 00:40:03,040 says they're imitating our tech and i 1140 00:40:07,030 --> 00:40:05,440 mean yeah as a possible scenario that of 1141 00:40:09,670 --> 00:40:07,040 course that's possible we just don't 1142 00:40:11,270 --> 00:40:09,680 know um but you know you people talk 1143 00:40:13,349 --> 00:40:11,280 about um you know these missiles that 1144 00:40:16,230 --> 00:40:13,359 have been seen in america that are 1145 00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:16,240 flying near airliners um and 1146 00:40:19,670 --> 00:40:17,599 some people are saying well they might 1147 00:40:21,589 --> 00:40:19,680 just be imitating those you know there 1148 00:40:23,670 --> 00:40:21,599 wouldn't be testing missiles in a place 1149 00:40:26,069 --> 00:40:23,680 next to commercial airliner routes 1150 00:40:28,550 --> 00:40:26,079 so you know anything's really possible 1151 00:40:31,750 --> 00:40:28,560 amazing we've got a few more 1152 00:40:33,910 --> 00:40:31,760 questions here uh joss is the first one 1153 00:40:35,510 --> 00:40:33,920 so graham there was a case between 68 1154 00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:35,520 and 70 above the atlantic of a 1155 00:40:40,150 --> 00:40:37,359 commercial plane followed by a big 1156 00:40:41,990 --> 00:40:40,160 yellow orb it even made dutch tv like 1157 00:40:43,430 --> 00:40:42,000 panorama here in holland but i can't 1158 00:40:45,910 --> 00:40:43,440 find anything are you familiar with that 1159 00:40:47,829 --> 00:40:45,920 one i'm not i'm afraid but it sounds 1160 00:40:49,589 --> 00:40:47,839 intriguing 1161 00:40:50,870 --> 00:40:49,599 i've made a mental note of it thank you 1162 00:40:52,309 --> 00:40:50,880 josh 1163 00:40:54,069 --> 00:40:52,319 yeah you've got a little way to go 1164 00:40:55,990 --> 00:40:54,079 before you hit the late 60s and early 1165 00:40:58,470 --> 00:40:56,000 70s yeah but that doesn't stop me 1166 00:41:00,390 --> 00:40:58,480 looking at things true yeah 1167 00:41:02,550 --> 00:41:00,400 no absolutely so yeah joss if you come 1168 00:41:04,150 --> 00:41:02,560 across anything about that please 1169 00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:04,160 please send it to me 1170 00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:06,640 yeah you know where um i've got a 1171 00:41:10,470 --> 00:41:08,160 question from elena but i might leave 1172 00:41:13,589 --> 00:41:10,480 that one tool towards the end because i 1173 00:41:16,630 --> 00:41:13,599 think that's a really interesting one so 1174 00:41:18,710 --> 00:41:16,640 let me just check yeah let's move on to 1175 00:41:20,550 --> 00:41:18,720 the next case 1176 00:41:22,150 --> 00:41:20,560 and this is one that i requested you to 1177 00:41:23,190 --> 00:41:22,160 to discuss because this is something 1178 00:41:24,630 --> 00:41:23,200 i've been 1179 00:41:26,710 --> 00:41:24,640 looking into but i only kind of touched 1180 00:41:28,870 --> 00:41:26,720 upon recently so i've got quite a lot 1181 00:41:30,710 --> 00:41:28,880 more to dig in on this so 1182 00:41:32,630 --> 00:41:30,720 uh shall i bring the the gentleman on 1183 00:41:35,510 --> 00:41:32,640 the screen or do you want to start the 1184 00:41:37,430 --> 00:41:35,520 story first um yeah put the gentleman on 1185 00:41:38,870 --> 00:41:37,440 the screen that's fine 1186 00:41:40,950 --> 00:41:38,880 i'll put the aircraft up first which i 1187 00:41:43,910 --> 00:41:40,960 was no no that's fine so the guy on the 1188 00:41:45,510 --> 00:41:43,920 right is called uh he's called uh swiney 1189 00:41:46,950 --> 00:41:45,520 it's the way the spell we're we're not 1190 00:41:48,630 --> 00:41:46,960 very sure where to swing your swiney 1191 00:41:49,589 --> 00:41:48,640 because it's spelled with one end it's 1192 00:41:52,390 --> 00:41:49,599 presumed 1193 00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:52,400 swiney so he's flight lieutenant mj e 1194 00:41:55,750 --> 00:41:53,599 swiney 1195 00:41:58,470 --> 00:41:55,760 and he's an instructor with the uh 1196 00:42:01,109 --> 00:41:58,480 central flying school which um are based 1197 00:42:02,230 --> 00:42:01,119 in in england uh at raf little 1198 00:42:04,069 --> 00:42:02,240 richington which is actually in 1199 00:42:05,990 --> 00:42:04,079 gloucester gloucestershire so it's down 1200 00:42:08,870 --> 00:42:06,000 southwest of england 1201 00:42:11,349 --> 00:42:08,880 and really the only kind of reference to 1202 00:42:14,630 --> 00:42:11,359 this case is buried away in the national 1203 00:42:16,150 --> 00:42:14,640 archives in london and you have to find 1204 00:42:18,150 --> 00:42:16,160 it within what's called the operational 1205 00:42:20,230 --> 00:42:18,160 record books that's a kind of like a 1206 00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:20,240 diary if you like it's an official diary 1207 00:42:25,589 --> 00:42:22,720 for the second flying school themselves 1208 00:42:27,750 --> 00:42:25,599 um most raf squadrons flights or 1209 00:42:29,829 --> 00:42:27,760 operational training units etc actually 1210 00:42:31,190 --> 00:42:29,839 have what they call an orb which is an 1211 00:42:34,390 --> 00:42:31,200 operational record book it's a 1212 00:42:36,390 --> 00:42:34,400 day-to-day breakdown of missions flights 1213 00:42:37,349 --> 00:42:36,400 uh and other information to do with the 1214 00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:37,359 unit 1215 00:42:42,870 --> 00:42:40,079 and this particular reference comes up 1216 00:42:45,670 --> 00:42:42,880 for the 21st of october 1952 and what it 1217 00:42:48,390 --> 00:42:45,680 says is flight lieutenant mj e swiney 1218 00:42:50,230 --> 00:42:48,400 instructor and le and lieutenant i'm 1219 00:42:53,829 --> 00:42:50,240 sorry lieutenant because it's british 1220 00:42:55,349 --> 00:42:53,839 lieutenant d crofts rn royal navy 1221 00:42:57,910 --> 00:42:55,359 student 1222 00:43:00,470 --> 00:42:57,920 cited three mysterious saucer shaped 1223 00:43:02,309 --> 00:43:00,480 objects traveling at high speed at about 1224 00:43:04,230 --> 00:43:02,319 thirty five thousand feet 1225 00:43:06,470 --> 00:43:04,240 whilst on a high level navigation 1226 00:43:07,390 --> 00:43:06,480 exercise in a meteor seven 1227 00:43:10,790 --> 00:43:07,400 later 1228 00:43:13,190 --> 00:43:10,800 atcc gloucester reported radar plots to 1229 00:43:14,870 --> 00:43:13,200 confirm this but air ministry discounted 1230 00:43:16,069 --> 00:43:14,880 any possibility of extraterrestrial 1231 00:43:17,990 --> 00:43:16,079 objects 1232 00:43:19,990 --> 00:43:18,000 so that's in the orb so that's an 1233 00:43:21,750 --> 00:43:20,000 official document and that's actually an 1234 00:43:24,150 --> 00:43:21,760 raf document as well 1235 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:24,160 so a lot of the time when you see raf 1236 00:43:30,790 --> 00:43:27,359 ufo reports they don't appear in the 1237 00:43:32,790 --> 00:43:30,800 orbs but in this particular case it does 1238 00:43:35,349 --> 00:43:32,800 so it was quite noticeable 1239 00:43:37,750 --> 00:43:35,359 um just to go back to what the the some 1240 00:43:40,150 --> 00:43:37,760 of the terminology is so um we're 1241 00:43:42,630 --> 00:43:40,160 looking at um atcc which is air traffic 1242 00:43:45,030 --> 00:43:42,640 you know the control center so it was 1243 00:43:46,870 --> 00:43:45,040 actually a ground radar uh or series of 1244 00:43:49,829 --> 00:43:46,880 ground radar sites that sort of picked 1245 00:43:51,349 --> 00:43:49,839 this object or objects up as well 1246 00:43:53,190 --> 00:43:51,359 um now 1247 00:43:55,109 --> 00:43:53,200 as you say that that's have you found 1248 00:43:56,950 --> 00:43:55,119 anywhere else really that you know that 1249 00:43:58,390 --> 00:43:56,960 this appears in 1250 00:43:59,750 --> 00:43:58,400 not yet no 1251 00:44:03,670 --> 00:43:59,760 okay i've had some i've had a few 1252 00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:03,680 conversations so i'm gonna keep digging 1253 00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:06,400 you can find extra information regarding 1254 00:44:11,030 --> 00:44:08,400 this case in a book by somebody called 1255 00:44:14,309 --> 00:44:11,040 peter horsley it's his autobiography now 1256 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,319 he was a former wartime mosquito pilot 1257 00:44:19,430 --> 00:44:17,040 and he became extra equity uh he's kind 1258 00:44:21,430 --> 00:44:19,440 of like an aide if you like to 1259 00:44:23,589 --> 00:44:21,440 her royal highness prince elizabeth and 1260 00:44:25,030 --> 00:44:23,599 then he also and also to his royal 1261 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:25,040 highness the duke of edinburgh prince 1262 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:28,560 philip uh and that was in 1953 became 1263 00:44:32,790 --> 00:44:30,720 the duke's full-time equity so he was 1264 00:44:34,309 --> 00:44:32,800 quite close to the edinburgh and of 1265 00:44:36,390 --> 00:44:34,319 course prince philip actually had an 1266 00:44:37,829 --> 00:44:36,400 interest in ufos as most people actually 1267 00:44:40,390 --> 00:44:37,839 are aware of 1268 00:44:42,069 --> 00:44:40,400 and therefore um peter horsley 1269 00:44:43,829 --> 00:44:42,079 had conversations with him on the 1270 00:44:46,870 --> 00:44:43,839 subject at ufos 1271 00:44:48,790 --> 00:44:46,880 um now horsley in his book about his 1272 00:44:50,950 --> 00:44:48,800 life and not for prince philip's life 1273 00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:50,960 but about his own life actually mentions 1274 00:44:54,150 --> 00:44:52,480 this and and he talks about the little 1275 00:44:55,990 --> 00:44:54,160 wrestling incident and this is the this 1276 00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:56,000 is a quote from the book um an 1277 00:44:58,710 --> 00:44:57,440 instructor and his people instructor 1278 00:45:00,950 --> 00:44:58,720 were carrying out 1279 00:45:02,950 --> 00:45:00,960 a series of high level sorties in a 1280 00:45:05,030 --> 00:45:02,960 tandem seat meteor the people in the 1281 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:05,040 front seat the instructor in the rear 1282 00:45:09,030 --> 00:45:07,200 the print the front pilot observed a 1283 00:45:10,710 --> 00:45:09,040 circular flying object some distance 1284 00:45:12,309 --> 00:45:10,720 away dead ahead 1285 00:45:14,230 --> 00:45:12,319 filling about three inches of the swing 1286 00:45:15,109 --> 00:45:14,240 screen which was approximately two feet 1287 00:45:16,950 --> 00:45:15,119 across 1288 00:45:19,109 --> 00:45:16,960 he had no previous knowledge of or 1289 00:45:20,470 --> 00:45:19,119 interest in ufos 1290 00:45:21,990 --> 00:45:20,480 the object was so strange that he 1291 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:22,000 immediately assumed that he had auction 1292 00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:24,480 failure and informed his instructor who 1293 00:45:29,510 --> 00:45:26,800 took over control and turned the 1294 00:45:31,190 --> 00:45:29,520 aircraft through 45 degrees that would 1295 00:45:33,270 --> 00:45:31,200 presumably see whether some kind of 1296 00:45:34,790 --> 00:45:33,280 cockpit reflection because that would be 1297 00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:34,800 standard practice if you saw something 1298 00:45:38,069 --> 00:45:36,480 that you weren't entirely sure you moved 1299 00:45:39,829 --> 00:45:38,079 the aircraft to a different plate uh 1300 00:45:41,190 --> 00:45:39,839 different heading and then looked in the 1301 00:45:42,870 --> 00:45:41,200 same position again just to see whether 1302 00:45:44,790 --> 00:45:42,880 it was a reflection of a dial or 1303 00:45:46,870 --> 00:45:44,800 something in the cockpit 1304 00:45:48,950 --> 00:45:46,880 he then saw the object and the two 1305 00:45:50,390 --> 00:45:48,960 pilots confirmed its description to each 1306 00:45:52,630 --> 00:45:50,400 other so they they checked that they 1307 00:45:54,309 --> 00:45:52,640 were seeing exactly the same thing 1308 00:45:55,990 --> 00:45:54,319 the instructor immediately reported the 1309 00:45:57,829 --> 00:45:56,000 incident to little risk and air traffic 1310 00:45:59,829 --> 00:45:57,839 control who were not aware of any 1311 00:46:02,550 --> 00:45:59,839 traffic in the vicinity of the meteor 1312 00:46:04,470 --> 00:46:02,560 and instructed him to approach closer 1313 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:04,480 the crew turned again towards the object 1314 00:46:09,750 --> 00:46:06,160 opening up to full power 1315 00:46:12,550 --> 00:46:09,760 at mach 0.8 so you're looking at about 1316 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:12,560 500 miles an hour or so 1317 00:46:16,790 --> 00:46:14,560 they gained quite rapidly 1318 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:16,800 but when the circular object filled half 1319 00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:18,720 their windscreen it certainly turned on 1320 00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:21,760 it suddenly turned on its side 1321 00:46:24,950 --> 00:46:23,119 like a plate 1322 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:24,960 that was their words 1323 00:46:28,790 --> 00:46:26,640 and climbed away out of sight at great 1324 00:46:30,550 --> 00:46:28,800 speed it was not possible to estimate 1325 00:46:31,829 --> 00:46:30,560 its size because they did not know its 1326 00:46:33,349 --> 00:46:31,839 distance 1327 00:46:36,829 --> 00:46:33,359 their description was similar to other 1328 00:46:39,670 --> 00:46:36,839 reports circular and emitting an uh 1329 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:39,680 incandescent light around its object its 1330 00:46:44,230 --> 00:46:41,520 edges sorry 1331 00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:44,240 so horsley only mentions one object in 1332 00:46:49,349 --> 00:46:46,480 this book of his but actually according 1333 00:46:51,990 --> 00:46:49,359 to the uh the orb records there were 1334 00:46:55,190 --> 00:46:52,000 three that the pilot and instructor saw 1335 00:46:56,470 --> 00:46:55,200 and of course at first michael swaney 1336 00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:56,480 actually thought that there might be 1337 00:47:00,630 --> 00:46:59,119 parachutes coming down from some unseen 1338 00:47:02,550 --> 00:47:00,640 aircraft above them which might have 1339 00:47:03,990 --> 00:47:02,560 been in trouble or might have been 1340 00:47:06,950 --> 00:47:04,000 dropping something 1341 00:47:08,150 --> 00:47:06,960 um now david croft who was in the pupil 1342 00:47:09,829 --> 00:47:08,160 in the front seat 1343 00:47:11,829 --> 00:47:09,839 he described them as being elliptical 1344 00:47:15,750 --> 00:47:11,839 shaped and looking like circular pieces 1345 00:47:17,990 --> 00:47:15,760 of glas of glass reflecting in the sun 1346 00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:18,000 he's um now he suddenly subsequently 1347 00:47:21,589 --> 00:47:19,599 learned that fighter command had 1348 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:21,599 scrambled jet fighters to intercept the 1349 00:47:24,549 --> 00:47:23,040 objects but of course that's never been 1350 00:47:27,030 --> 00:47:24,559 confirmed by 1351 00:47:28,549 --> 00:47:27,040 uh you know in in the official records 1352 00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:28,559 it just merely mentions that they 1353 00:47:33,510 --> 00:47:30,960 actually uh they saw these circular 1354 00:47:35,030 --> 00:47:33,520 objects now i guess if you look at other 1355 00:47:37,109 --> 00:47:35,040 fighter squadrons 1356 00:47:39,910 --> 00:47:37,119 you might actually find 1357 00:47:42,069 --> 00:47:39,920 records of a scramble but again you 1358 00:47:43,910 --> 00:47:42,079 might not because things like that not 1359 00:47:46,230 --> 00:47:43,920 necessarily recorded now that could be a 1360 00:47:48,870 --> 00:47:46,240 little job for somebody or myself to go 1361 00:47:50,710 --> 00:47:48,880 through those records uh and you have to 1362 00:47:53,910 --> 00:47:50,720 work you would have to work out 1363 00:47:55,430 --> 00:47:53,920 what fight squadrons were near enough to 1364 00:47:57,030 --> 00:47:55,440 to that part of gloucestershire that 1365 00:47:59,109 --> 00:47:57,040 they could have got a jet into the air 1366 00:48:01,030 --> 00:47:59,119 and you know scrambled uh to try and 1367 00:48:02,150 --> 00:48:01,040 intercept and there would be there's 1368 00:48:03,750 --> 00:48:02,160 there'll be 1369 00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:03,760 bases around london and on the south 1370 00:48:07,670 --> 00:48:05,520 coast of england which would be well 1371 00:48:09,349 --> 00:48:07,680 within range are they so that was you 1372 00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,359 know theoretically possible 1373 00:48:13,910 --> 00:48:11,440 um but here's the other thing 1374 00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:13,920 again this is another radar visual case 1375 00:48:16,790 --> 00:48:15,119 because 1376 00:48:19,510 --> 00:48:16,800 um 1377 00:48:21,910 --> 00:48:19,520 the air ministry investigators reckoned 1378 00:48:23,349 --> 00:48:21,920 that um you know they've been in 1379 00:48:25,190 --> 00:48:23,359 communication with every country in the 1380 00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:25,200 world that was likely to have that kind 1381 00:48:27,990 --> 00:48:27,040 of aircraft the vicinity and drew a 1382 00:48:30,710 --> 00:48:28,000 blank 1383 00:48:32,549 --> 00:48:30,720 but the pilots were later told and i'm 1384 00:48:34,710 --> 00:48:32,559 not entirely sure who it's clear who 1385 00:48:38,230 --> 00:48:34,720 told them but the craft had been picked 1386 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:38,240 up by radar sites at a place called box 1387 00:48:43,030 --> 00:48:40,480 uh and also a place called sopley now 1388 00:48:46,150 --> 00:48:43,040 funny enough box lately became known as 1389 00:48:48,549 --> 00:48:46,160 raf ridler manor and if anybody in the 1390 00:48:50,710 --> 00:48:48,559 chat or listening to this as years have 1391 00:48:52,630 --> 00:48:50,720 pricked up with that name then well do 1392 00:48:54,790 --> 00:48:52,640 you know vinnie what the significance of 1393 00:48:57,670 --> 00:48:54,800 rudolph manor is 1394 00:48:59,349 --> 00:48:57,680 i've heard it come up so many times uh 1395 00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:59,359 is there a certain 1396 00:49:02,630 --> 00:49:01,040 importance to it at that era what do you 1397 00:49:04,470 --> 00:49:02,640 mean in general no 1398 00:49:06,230 --> 00:49:04,480 much later so it was the place where 1399 00:49:08,790 --> 00:49:06,240 what they call the flying uh complaints 1400 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:08,800 flight was held uh was based but it was 1401 00:49:14,390 --> 00:49:11,119 also an alleged center for investigating 1402 00:49:16,790 --> 00:49:14,400 ufo reports in the uk under the into the 1403 00:49:18,870 --> 00:49:16,800 auspices of the flying complaints flight 1404 00:49:20,950 --> 00:49:18,880 it's never really kind of 1405 00:49:23,030 --> 00:49:20,960 improved but that's the thing it was 1406 00:49:25,030 --> 00:49:23,040 always rumor wasn't it back in the 80s 1407 00:49:27,430 --> 00:49:25,040 and early 90s it was one of those places 1408 00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:27,440 that featured in a lot of ufo books so 1409 00:49:32,710 --> 00:49:29,280 you know if you didn't get stories about 1410 00:49:35,109 --> 00:49:32,720 uh area 51 or things like that then you 1411 00:49:36,710 --> 00:49:35,119 know uh rf ridler manor would come up 1412 00:49:38,390 --> 00:49:36,720 and tim good used to write about it and 1413 00:49:40,710 --> 00:49:38,400 you know other people did as well so 1414 00:49:42,150 --> 00:49:40,720 were there some connections to aerospace 1415 00:49:44,069 --> 00:49:42,160 companies as well to rudely manner 1416 00:49:45,430 --> 00:49:44,079 weren't there some base i can't remember 1417 00:49:46,950 --> 00:49:45,440 who they were maybe i'm just going off 1418 00:49:48,710 --> 00:49:46,960 on a tangent there's certainly stories 1419 00:49:50,309 --> 00:49:48,720 about underground tunnels yeah and all 1420 00:49:51,750 --> 00:49:50,319 sorts of weird wonderful things there 1421 00:49:53,270 --> 00:49:51,760 but again 1422 00:49:55,270 --> 00:49:53,280 these kind of stories that people come 1423 00:49:57,190 --> 00:49:55,280 out with and you have to take them with 1424 00:49:59,109 --> 00:49:57,200 a little pinch of salt sort of thing 1425 00:50:00,549 --> 00:49:59,119 absolutely yeah and should i just jump 1426 00:50:01,910 --> 00:50:00,559 on because i think that 1427 00:50:03,750 --> 00:50:01,920 that's the last yeah so that's the type 1428 00:50:05,910 --> 00:50:03,760 of aircraft that's a meteor t7 so it's a 1429 00:50:07,670 --> 00:50:05,920 two-seat meteor 1430 00:50:09,829 --> 00:50:07,680 this is the the first type of jet 1431 00:50:11,030 --> 00:50:09,839 fighter that saw service with the raf 1432 00:50:13,030 --> 00:50:11,040 and this was the two-seat trainer 1433 00:50:14,390 --> 00:50:13,040 version and these aircraft were still 1434 00:50:16,790 --> 00:50:14,400 like even though they were quite along 1435 00:50:19,670 --> 00:50:16,800 the tooth by by the sort of the 1436 00:50:21,109 --> 00:50:19,680 early mid 50s they were still in service 1437 00:50:22,150 --> 00:50:21,119 they were bringing out later versions of 1438 00:50:23,430 --> 00:50:22,160 this but 1439 00:50:25,030 --> 00:50:23,440 this aircraft would have been in service 1440 00:50:26,710 --> 00:50:25,040 for the several flying school 1441 00:50:28,470 --> 00:50:26,720 and this is not too dissimilar to the 1442 00:50:30,790 --> 00:50:28,480 aircraft and the two were flying the day 1443 00:50:32,710 --> 00:50:30,800 they saw the ufos 1444 00:50:34,790 --> 00:50:32,720 it's so amazing because that that line 1445 00:50:37,270 --> 00:50:34,800 where he says you know it appeared 1446 00:50:38,710 --> 00:50:37,280 to fill half the windshield turned on 1447 00:50:41,510 --> 00:50:38,720 its side and then shot off at great 1448 00:50:43,990 --> 00:50:41,520 speed and i mean 1449 00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:44,000 that's mind-boggling stuff isn't it and 1450 00:50:47,829 --> 00:50:45,680 i will just highlight here that you have 1451 00:50:50,150 --> 00:50:47,839 actually written about it 1452 00:50:52,470 --> 00:50:50,160 here on the uap media website which this 1453 00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:52,480 article is linked below this video 1454 00:50:55,829 --> 00:50:54,480 and i also want to highlight it's all 1455 00:50:58,470 --> 00:50:55,839 it's also pulled from the book as well 1456 00:51:00,790 --> 00:50:58,480 so that that's based on pretty much what 1457 00:51:03,270 --> 00:51:00,800 i wrote in the book uh with a few bits 1458 00:51:04,390 --> 00:51:03,280 like missed out but uh yeah 1459 00:51:06,549 --> 00:51:04,400 and then uh 1460 00:51:08,790 --> 00:51:06,559 this comment here our very own dave 1461 00:51:11,190 --> 00:51:08,800 clark interviewed says spiny but he 1462 00:51:13,910 --> 00:51:11,200 means swiney before he died that's from 1463 00:51:15,190 --> 00:51:13,920 giles good to see you charles and yeah i 1464 00:51:16,549 --> 00:51:15,200 actually spoke with david a couple of 1465 00:51:18,950 --> 00:51:16,559 days ago about the case and he's going 1466 00:51:21,030 --> 00:51:18,960 to send me the the audio of that 1467 00:51:22,790 --> 00:51:21,040 interview with swiney in about a week's 1468 00:51:25,190 --> 00:51:22,800 time because david's uh 1469 00:51:27,109 --> 00:51:25,200 on holiday at the moment so i'm going to 1470 00:51:29,190 --> 00:51:27,119 be doing more digging and the one thing 1471 00:51:31,109 --> 00:51:29,200 i like is listening to these interviews 1472 00:51:32,950 --> 00:51:31,119 to hear the tone of voice when they're 1473 00:51:35,190 --> 00:51:32,960 discussing them because i did that with 1474 00:51:36,150 --> 00:51:35,200 the lake and heath case and you just 1475 00:51:37,190 --> 00:51:36,160 it's ju i don't know there's just 1476 00:51:39,270 --> 00:51:37,200 something about hearing it from the 1477 00:51:41,589 --> 00:51:39,280 horse's mouth that it just is 1478 00:51:43,349 --> 00:51:41,599 fascinating so yeah i mean if you look 1479 00:51:45,990 --> 00:51:43,359 if you look on youtube there are 1480 00:51:48,069 --> 00:51:46,000 interviews like news kind of broadcasts 1481 00:51:50,309 --> 00:51:48,079 interviews with some british pilots uh 1482 00:51:52,710 --> 00:51:50,319 from that about that time as well so you 1483 00:51:54,470 --> 00:51:52,720 know in the in the mid early to mid 50s 1484 00:51:56,790 --> 00:51:54,480 so you get a kind of flavor about how 1485 00:51:58,549 --> 00:51:56,800 that how they saw um these kind of 1486 00:52:00,470 --> 00:51:58,559 incidents and how they reacted they're 1487 00:52:03,030 --> 00:52:00,480 quite kind of stilted and stiff upper 1488 00:52:05,670 --> 00:52:03,040 lip kind of broadcasts as was the you 1489 00:52:07,430 --> 00:52:05,680 know the kind of thing from the time but 1490 00:52:09,750 --> 00:52:07,440 as you say it's a really good insight 1491 00:52:11,589 --> 00:52:09,760 into how they they saw it and how they 1492 00:52:14,470 --> 00:52:11,599 what they think about it um one of the 1493 00:52:15,510 --> 00:52:14,480 cases is the airliner of labrador uh 1494 00:52:21,750 --> 00:52:15,520 that um 1495 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:21,760 the the crew saw these you know strange 1496 00:52:24,630 --> 00:52:23,520 object actually changed shape 1497 00:52:26,950 --> 00:52:24,640 it was a 1498 00:52:28,870 --> 00:52:26,960 a main object with little ones next to 1499 00:52:29,990 --> 00:52:28,880 it but the main one changed shape three 1500 00:52:32,150 --> 00:52:30,000 times 1501 00:52:35,030 --> 00:52:32,160 um now that's actually uh you can see 1502 00:52:37,750 --> 00:52:35,040 the the newsreel um news item that was 1503 00:52:39,589 --> 00:52:37,760 done the the interview the pilot uh at 1504 00:52:41,910 --> 00:52:39,599 heathrow you know or london airport 1505 00:52:43,670 --> 00:52:41,920 rather uh back then you know some days 1506 00:52:45,670 --> 00:52:43,680 afterwards and it that these are 1507 00:52:47,750 --> 00:52:45,680 fascinating interviews yeah 1508 00:52:49,030 --> 00:52:47,760 so yeah you can find things like that as 1509 00:52:51,829 --> 00:52:49,040 well 1510 00:52:53,190 --> 00:52:51,839 absolutely and what i i forgot i saw a 1511 00:52:54,870 --> 00:52:53,200 comment earlier saying you know it's 1512 00:52:56,630 --> 00:52:54,880 kind of pointless discussing these kind 1513 00:52:58,470 --> 00:52:56,640 of cases or you're making mountains out 1514 00:53:00,230 --> 00:52:58,480 of mole hills i think was the comment 1515 00:53:02,630 --> 00:53:00,240 the thing is we're not trying to solve 1516 00:53:04,069 --> 00:53:02,640 these cases we're simply highlighting 1517 00:53:06,309 --> 00:53:04,079 that these have happened they were 1518 00:53:08,150 --> 00:53:06,319 reported there are data points in there 1519 00:53:09,910 --> 00:53:08,160 that make no sense that were 1520 00:53:11,670 --> 00:53:09,920 investigated and they could not figure 1521 00:53:13,430 --> 00:53:11,680 out what these things were and i think 1522 00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:13,440 comparing old cases like this and 1523 00:53:17,190 --> 00:53:15,359 bringing it back into the modern times 1524 00:53:19,190 --> 00:53:17,200 comparing it seeing similarities with 1525 00:53:20,790 --> 00:53:19,200 modern cases i think it's important to 1526 00:53:22,870 --> 00:53:20,800 sort of put little pieces of the puzzle 1527 00:53:24,790 --> 00:53:22,880 together it may not lead anywhere but it 1528 00:53:26,870 --> 00:53:24,800 might it doesn't hurt so that's kind of 1529 00:53:28,710 --> 00:53:26,880 my yeah i think when you look at it you 1530 00:53:30,230 --> 00:53:28,720 see today you'll see a lot of 1531 00:53:31,349 --> 00:53:30,240 explanations oh they're russian or 1532 00:53:33,109 --> 00:53:31,359 chinese 1533 00:53:34,150 --> 00:53:33,119 but you can't apply that kind of logic 1534 00:53:35,030 --> 00:53:34,160 back then 1535 00:53:37,190 --> 00:53:35,040 so 1536 00:53:39,030 --> 00:53:37,200 it's it's useful to know that to the the 1537 00:53:40,790 --> 00:53:39,040 history of the subject because as you 1538 00:53:42,790 --> 00:53:40,800 say you can see parallels but you can 1539 00:53:45,750 --> 00:53:42,800 also see differences and you can see a 1540 00:53:47,829 --> 00:53:45,760 direction of travel but also they just 1541 00:53:49,349 --> 00:53:47,839 build up a picture and yes as you say 1542 00:53:51,510 --> 00:53:49,359 we're never gonna we're never gonna 1543 00:53:53,829 --> 00:53:51,520 solve these cases that because there's 1544 00:53:55,829 --> 00:53:53,839 just not enough information but they're 1545 00:53:58,069 --> 00:53:55,839 unique you know they all have their own 1546 00:53:59,589 --> 00:53:58,079 unique little piece to them 1547 00:54:01,510 --> 00:53:59,599 yeah fascinating 1548 00:54:04,230 --> 00:54:01,520 um and if you just if you read enough of 1549 00:54:06,470 --> 00:54:04,240 them then it's an overwhelming kind of 1550 00:54:08,150 --> 00:54:06,480 weight of evidence and for people who 1551 00:54:10,549 --> 00:54:08,160 are only coming into the subject quite 1552 00:54:12,630 --> 00:54:10,559 recently and for all you know all they 1553 00:54:15,349 --> 00:54:12,640 know are the nimitz encounters and the 1554 00:54:17,510 --> 00:54:15,359 2015 uh um your 1555 00:54:18,870 --> 00:54:17,520 sightings and the us navy the things 1556 00:54:20,870 --> 00:54:18,880 that crowded the ships and all the rest 1557 00:54:22,950 --> 00:54:20,880 of it then there's actually this huge 1558 00:54:25,190 --> 00:54:22,960 rich back catalogue of things that 1559 00:54:27,270 --> 00:54:25,200 happened um that you know people are 1560 00:54:28,790 --> 00:54:27,280 really unaware of and yet some of them 1561 00:54:30,390 --> 00:54:28,800 are absolutely fascinating they're 1562 00:54:32,470 --> 00:54:30,400 riveting stories and some of them 1563 00:54:33,829 --> 00:54:32,480 actually quite unbelievable 1564 00:54:37,670 --> 00:54:33,839 if you look at the cover of flying 1565 00:54:41,109 --> 00:54:37,680 saucer fever you'll see the the the 1566 00:54:43,589 --> 00:54:41,119 aircraft the huge still um the the huge 1567 00:54:46,309 --> 00:54:43,599 bomber that flew around the peacemaker 1568 00:54:48,870 --> 00:54:46,319 and the the story of the ufo that you 1569 00:54:52,309 --> 00:54:48,880 see there actually sat between the tail 1570 00:54:54,069 --> 00:54:52,319 plane and the rear-facing propellers you 1571 00:54:55,349 --> 00:54:54,079 know sort of thing so that's not 1572 00:54:56,150 --> 00:54:55,359 something that you can just go oh you 1573 00:54:59,829 --> 00:54:56,160 know 1574 00:55:01,750 --> 00:54:59,839 that's a kind of well where have you 1575 00:55:03,270 --> 00:55:01,760 ever heard of a story like that before 1576 00:55:05,190 --> 00:55:03,280 yeah 1577 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:05,200 and the thing is about that case i mean 1578 00:55:08,069 --> 00:55:06,960 i'll just quickly it'll take you sure 1579 00:55:10,789 --> 00:55:08,079 yeah yeah 1580 00:55:12,549 --> 00:55:10,799 of course this was the only part of the 1581 00:55:14,630 --> 00:55:12,559 official file that the intelligence 1582 00:55:17,030 --> 00:55:14,640 officer wrote about this case 1583 00:55:19,430 --> 00:55:17,040 is the bit from the ground and yet the 1584 00:55:22,069 --> 00:55:19,440 intelligence officer himself 1585 00:55:24,069 --> 00:55:22,079 who saw it on the ground wrote the file 1586 00:55:26,470 --> 00:55:24,079 and he says out of the 70 odd pages in 1587 00:55:28,390 --> 00:55:26,480 the file there's not that many left you 1588 00:55:31,349 --> 00:55:28,400 know so where are all these other pages 1589 00:55:33,670 --> 00:55:31,359 which presumably are from the crew 1590 00:55:35,589 --> 00:55:33,680 because there were 15 there'd be 15 crew 1591 00:55:37,030 --> 00:55:35,599 members on that aircraft 1592 00:55:39,030 --> 00:55:37,040 you know it wasn't a small aircraft 1593 00:55:40,870 --> 00:55:39,040 there were 15 crew on the board and they 1594 00:55:43,030 --> 00:55:40,880 all and those maybe half a dozen 1595 00:55:45,030 --> 00:55:43,040 observation blisters never mind the kind 1596 00:55:46,630 --> 00:55:45,040 of cockpit in the in the other windows 1597 00:55:48,549 --> 00:55:46,640 on the aircraft where they could see 1598 00:55:50,309 --> 00:55:48,559 this thing and actually you can't you 1599 00:55:52,390 --> 00:55:50,319 can quite you can almost make it out on 1600 00:55:54,150 -->

00:55:59,670 --> 00:55:56,480 sitting 1604 00:56:00,630 --> 00:55:59,680 yeah yeah yeah and just about there yeah 1605 00:56:02,390 --> 00:56:00,640 yeah 1606 00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:02,400 my goodness

00:56:09,599 and they presumably would have had 1611 00:56:12,150 --> 00:56:11,200 cameras on board the aircraft or a 1612 00:56:13,109 --> 00:56:12,160 camera 1613 00:56:14,710 --> 00:56:13,119 um

00:56:20,400 that part that portion of the file 1618 00:56:23,910 --> 00:56:21,200 you know 1619 00:56:25,510 --> 00:56:23,920 isn't there it's never been made public 1620 00:56:27,430 --> 00:56:25,520 whether it's gone missing or something's 1621 00:56:29,510 --> 00:56:27,440 happened to it who knows but the actual 1622 00:56:31,030 --> 00:56:29,520 publicly available portion of the file 1623 00:56:32,789 --> 00:56:31,040 is to do with the intelligence officer 1624 00:56:33,910 --> 00:56:32,799 and somebody else who was standing on 1625 00:56:35,430 --> 00:56:33,920 the ground at the air base they were 1626 00:56:37,349 --> 00:56:35,440 looking up and they saw the in the 1627 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:37,359 source and that thing was sitting 1628 00:56:40,950 --> 00:56:39,200 between the tail and the wings and there 1629 00:56:42,710 --> 00:56:40,960 was another one nearby 1630 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:42,720 that's unbelievable fascinating 1631 00:56:46,549 --> 00:56:44,640 fascinating stuff 1632 00:56:49,109 --> 00:56:46,559 um i've got a couple more questions here 1633 00:56:50,549 --> 00:56:49,119 first one is from uh my good friend mr 1634 00:56:52,710 --> 00:56:50,559 ashley cowy 1635 00:56:54,309 --> 00:56:52,720 uh has graham's research identified any 1636 00:56:56,549 --> 00:56:54,319 particular type of world war two 1637 00:56:59,670 --> 00:56:56,559 aircraft or radar system associated with 1638 00:57:00,950 --> 00:56:59,680 uap more than so yeah so the world war 1639 00:57:02,789 --> 00:57:00,960 ii kind of thing well you have to look 1640 00:57:04,549 --> 00:57:02,799 at the where they were so there was 1641 00:57:07,190 --> 00:57:04,559 basically two types of aircraft that the 1642 00:57:08,549 --> 00:57:07,200 americans were operating that were in 1643 00:57:10,230 --> 00:57:08,559 close contact with the foo fighters 1644 00:57:12,150 --> 00:57:10,240 that's the bristol bow fighter so that 1645 00:57:14,069 --> 00:57:12,160 was a british type that was supplied the 1646 00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:14,079 americans because they didn't have a 1647 00:57:16,870 --> 00:57:15,359 knight fighter of their own when they 1648 00:57:19,190 --> 00:57:16,880 were getting the squadrons together to 1649 00:57:20,549 --> 00:57:19,200 do that role and then the p 61 black 1650 00:57:22,549 --> 00:57:20,559 widow which you saw at the beginning of 1651 00:57:24,309 --> 00:57:22,559 the program the the picture that vinnie 1652 00:57:26,309 --> 00:57:24,319 showed so those are the two aircraft 1653 00:57:28,470 --> 00:57:26,319 that were in the european theater 1654 00:57:30,950 --> 00:57:28,480 operations at least that were quite 1655 00:57:32,470 --> 00:57:30,960 closely associated with foo fighters but 1656 00:57:34,870 --> 00:57:32,480 then there was all different types of 1657 00:57:37,109 --> 00:57:34,880 aircraft from the rf and from other uh 1658 00:57:38,630 --> 00:57:37,119 air forces that were saying things that 1659 00:57:40,230 --> 00:57:38,640 they couldn't explain so you know 1660 00:57:42,150 --> 00:57:40,240 lancaster bowlers halifax bombs 1661 00:57:44,150 --> 00:57:42,160 wellingtons all this kind of thing and 1662 00:57:45,990 --> 00:57:44,160 probably some german aircraft although 1663 00:57:48,230 --> 00:57:46,000 i've been painst to point out over the 1664 00:57:49,190 --> 00:57:48,240 years you know luftwaffe records are 1665 00:57:50,789 --> 00:57:49,200 quite uh 1666 00:57:51,990 --> 00:57:50,799 non-existent so we just don't know from 1667 00:57:53,589 --> 00:57:52,000 that side 1668 00:57:55,990 --> 00:57:53,599 yeah fascinating 1669 00:57:58,789 --> 00:57:56,000 so and then i wanted to say this one 1670 00:58:00,789 --> 00:57:58,799 because i think this is a great question 1671 00:58:02,710 --> 00:58:00,799 hi faves how did you get how did you get 1672 00:58:03,829 --> 00:58:02,720 your start in the field of ufology 1673 00:58:05,270 --> 00:58:03,839 graham 1674 00:58:08,230 --> 00:58:05,280 okay i think i've told this story before 1675 00:58:10,069 --> 00:58:08,240 but probably some people 1676 00:58:11,910 --> 00:58:10,079 when i was sort of seven or eight year 1677 00:58:13,510 --> 00:58:11,920 old i was quite interested in science 1678 00:58:15,750 --> 00:58:13,520 fiction i was reading 1679 00:58:17,990 --> 00:58:15,760 isaac asimov books when i was eight year 1680 00:58:19,910 --> 00:58:18,000 old and if anybody's ever seen the 1681 00:58:21,750 --> 00:58:19,920 paperback versions of these books they 1682 00:58:23,109 --> 00:58:21,760 have some really really good artwork on 1683 00:58:24,789 --> 00:58:23,119 the you know sort of drawings of 1684 00:58:26,069 --> 00:58:24,799 spaceships and all this kind of thing 1685 00:58:28,309 --> 00:58:26,079 and they were done by a certain number 1686 00:58:29,670 --> 00:58:28,319 of artists back in the in the 70s people 1687 00:58:31,829 --> 00:58:29,680 like chris foss and some of the people 1688 00:58:35,109 --> 00:58:31,839 who um people might know their artwork 1689 00:58:36,390 --> 00:58:35,119 um it's certainly famous anyway um so i 1690 00:58:38,069 --> 00:58:36,400 was quite into these books and i had 1691 00:58:40,230 --> 00:58:38,079 quite a collection you know 20 or 30 of 1692 00:58:42,870 --> 00:58:40,240 these these titles and the mother bless 1693 00:58:44,870 --> 00:58:42,880 her she's long gone but bless her uh she 1694 00:58:46,470 --> 00:58:44,880 bought me a book from a shop that she 1695 00:58:48,069 --> 00:58:46,480 thought was another one in the series 1696 00:58:49,670 --> 00:58:48,079 and it had a nice picture of a spaceship 1697 00:58:51,829 --> 00:58:49,680 on the front but it turned out to be a 1698 00:58:53,670 --> 00:58:51,839 book bar called mysterious visitors by 1699 00:58:56,069 --> 00:58:53,680 principally the power trench who 1700 00:58:57,349 --> 00:58:56,079 actually was the earl of clan carty and 1701 00:58:58,950 --> 00:58:57,359 he was a um 1702 00:59:00,630 --> 00:58:58,960 he was a government or a government 1703 00:59:02,230 --> 00:59:00,640 minister or part of the house of lords 1704 00:59:04,870 --> 00:59:02,240 rather and he was involved in the 1705 00:59:05,910 --> 00:59:04,880 households debates in the 1970s 1706 00:59:07,910 --> 00:59:05,920 um 1707 00:59:09,430 --> 00:59:07,920 about ufos and he'd written this book 1708 00:59:11,750 --> 00:59:09,440 he'd written other books in the 60s as 1709 00:59:14,150 --> 00:59:11,760 well um and there it was a mishmash of 1710 00:59:16,549 --> 00:59:14,160 kind of um biblical ufos and things a 1711 00:59:19,589 --> 00:59:16,559 bit more up to date um from the sort of 1712 00:59:20,789 --> 00:59:19,599 40s and 50s and the contact t people uh 1713 00:59:23,349 --> 00:59:20,799 you know damski and all this kind of 1714 00:59:26,309 --> 00:59:23,359 stuff and then some more modern for that 1715 00:59:27,829 --> 00:59:26,319 time uh events as well so it 1716 00:59:30,549 --> 00:59:27,839 looking back on it it's not the best of 1717 00:59:32,870 --> 00:59:30,559 books but for me and being eight or nine 1718 00:59:35,510 --> 00:59:32,880 year old whatever it was it was catnip 1719 00:59:36,540 --> 00:59:35,520 yeah it was fat it was fascinating and i 1720 00:59:40,069 --> 00:59:36,550 i just went 1721 00:59:44,549 --> 00:59:42,870 it did blow my mind um because 1722 00:59:46,710 --> 00:59:44,559 previously i've been reading books about 1723 00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:46,720 you know fiction you know characters i 1724 00:59:50,710 --> 00:59:48,480 want to start their their first you know 1725 00:59:52,069 --> 00:59:50,720 the original version of star trek on on 1726 00:59:53,750 --> 00:59:52,079 bbc one 1727 00:59:55,349 --> 00:59:53,760 in britain in the mid 70s and of course 1728 00:59:56,870 --> 00:59:55,359 that was just like you know make believe 1729 00:59:58,390 --> 00:59:56,880 but here was somebody saying well 1730 01:00:00,230 --> 00:59:58,400 actually no some of this stuff's true 1731 01:00:02,069 --> 01:00:00,240 you know there are like things where the 1732 01:00:03,990 --> 01:00:02,079 world's coming to visit us and they're 1733 01:00:05,349 --> 01:00:04,000 taking some of us away for you know for 1734 01:00:06,390 --> 01:00:05,359 whatever reason all the rest of it and 1735 01:00:08,150 --> 01:00:06,400 experimenting and then dropping them 1736 01:00:09,510 --> 01:00:08,160 back in fields and all this kind of 1737 01:00:11,190 --> 01:00:09,520 thing and it was i think with some 1738 01:00:13,430 --> 01:00:11,200 reference to the men in black as well 1739 01:00:14,789 --> 01:00:13,440 and some other stuff so it was all kind 1740 01:00:16,870 --> 01:00:14,799 of just 1741 01:00:18,230 --> 01:00:16,880 it just got me thinking and of course uh 1742 01:00:20,069 --> 01:00:18,240 you know i wanted to read everything i 1743 01:00:21,270 --> 01:00:20,079 could after that so you know i read all 1744 01:00:23,030 --> 01:00:21,280 the books in the library in the local 1745 01:00:24,710 --> 01:00:23,040 library i could find i was getting books 1746 01:00:26,470 --> 01:00:24,720 given christmas birthdays and all the 1747 01:00:29,670 --> 01:00:26,480 rest of it just went from there 1748 01:00:31,430 --> 01:00:29,680 so yeah thanks mom 1749 01:00:33,750 --> 01:00:31,440 i guess my follow-up is when did you 1750 01:00:36,150 --> 01:00:33,760 discover the ufo community 1751 01:00:37,750 --> 01:00:36,160 ah right okay so that was much later i 1752 01:00:39,670 --> 01:00:37,760 knew one existed and there was one 1753 01:00:41,750 --> 01:00:39,680 existed back then but obviously because 1754 01:00:43,990 --> 01:00:41,760 that was well before social media it was 1755 01:00:46,150 --> 01:00:44,000 all done with you know sort of personal 1756 01:00:48,789 --> 01:00:46,160 contact conventions and there weren't 1757 01:00:50,230 --> 01:00:48,799 that many in britain um or can't you 1758 01:00:51,510 --> 01:00:50,240 would write letters to people because 1759 01:00:53,990 --> 01:00:51,520 that's when people put stamps on 1760 01:00:55,589 --> 01:00:54,000 envelopes um or there was or there were 1761 01:00:56,789 --> 01:00:55,599 some newsletters you know a flying 1762 01:00:58,870 --> 01:00:56,799 source of review in britain and those 1763 01:01:01,030 --> 01:00:58,880 others in america of course so that was 1764 01:01:03,829 --> 01:01:01,040 the way a community formed whereas like 1765 01:01:05,750 --> 01:01:03,839 the kind of online community then that 1766 01:01:09,190 --> 01:01:05,760 was getting that was kicking off in the 1767 01:01:10,789 --> 01:01:09,200 in the late 90s so i was part of a um an 1768 01:01:12,150 --> 01:01:10,799 online community through what they 1769 01:01:13,990 --> 01:01:12,160 called um you know 1770 01:01:16,069 --> 01:01:14,000 well there were chat groups back then uh 1771 01:01:18,069 --> 01:01:16,079 there were used net boards uh usenet 1772 01:01:19,829 --> 01:01:18,079 groups which was a when you had a 1773 01:01:22,069 --> 01:01:19,839 dial-up connection it was really you 1774 01:01:24,870 --> 01:01:22,079 know i'm talking like mid 90s late 90s 1775 01:01:27,510 --> 01:01:24,880 here and there was quite a healthy ufo 1776 01:01:30,069 --> 01:01:27,520 community then but you had your equal 1777 01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:30,079 number of trolls and and kind of cooks 1778 01:01:35,190 --> 01:01:32,400 and and just people who wanted just to 1779 01:01:36,710 --> 01:01:35,200 you know sort of cause mayhem and then a 1780 01:01:38,549 --> 01:01:36,720 small core of people who genuinely 1781 01:01:40,390 --> 01:01:38,559 wanted to pass information around or 1782 01:01:42,630 --> 01:01:40,400 find things out and all the rest of it 1783 01:01:45,750 --> 01:01:42,640 so it's a kind of like a small microcosm 1784 01:01:46,470 --> 01:01:45,760 of what's like now on ufo twitter 1785 01:01:47,990 --> 01:01:46,480 so 1786 01:01:50,150 --> 01:01:48,000 yeah there we go 1787 01:01:52,870 --> 01:01:50,160 awesome that's fantastic

chronological 1799 01:02:18,470 --> 01:02:16,640 strictly speaking it doesn't matter i 1800 01:02:20,069 --> 01:02:18,480 mean if you want just to pick one of 1801 01:02:23,109 --> 01:02:20,079 them at random and start reading it it 1802 01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:23,119 doesn't you know you're not going to 1803 01:02:26,470 --> 01:02:24,960 lose anything by doing that but if you 1804 01:02:28,549 --> 01:02:26,480 want to do it in strict chronological 1805 01:02:30,870 --> 01:02:28,559 order the foo fighters boot comes first 1806 01:02:32,950 --> 01:02:30,880 and then you can see how the the um the 1807 01:02:35,990 --> 01:02:32,960 phenomenon develops i guess 1808 01:02:38,470 --> 01:02:36,000 so you'll see the wartime stuff uh from 1809 01:02:40,309 --> 01:02:38,480 say 40 right through to 45 and then if 1810 01:02:42,230 --> 01:02:40,319 you buy the um if you get a hold of the 1811 01:02:44,470 --> 01:02:42,240 the dawn of the flying sources book then 1812 01:02:46,390 --> 01:02:44,480 you'll see the the pre-keth arnold stuff 1813 01:02:48,309 --> 01:02:46,400 because there is some 1814 01:02:50,390 --> 01:02:48,319 things that happen before uh between the 1815 01:02:52,549 --> 01:02:50,400 end of the war and kenthan's sighting in 1816 01:02:55,829 --> 01:02:52,559 june 1947 there's not many but there are 1817 01:02:59,510 --> 01:02:55,839 some and then inter interwoven with the 1818 01:03:02,230 --> 01:02:59,520 kind of 47 4849 sightings i've told the 1819 01:03:04,150 --> 01:03:02,240 story of project sign and project grudge 1820 01:03:06,710 --> 01:03:04,160 which were the first two official 1821 01:03:09,589 --> 01:03:06,720 in um us air force investigations into 1822 01:03:11,910 --> 01:03:09,599 ufos so it it they kind of blend quite 1823 01:03:13,589 --> 01:03:11,920 nicely so you can see the kind of cases 1824 01:03:15,670 --> 01:03:13,599 or the aerial cases rather because these 1825 01:03:17,510 --> 01:03:15,680 are all pilot and aircrew cases there's 1826 01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:17,520 no kind of you know for once on the 1827 01:03:20,789 --> 01:03:18,720 ground people seeing things on the 1828 01:03:22,870 --> 01:03:20,799 ground but you'll see how those 1829 01:03:24,630 --> 01:03:22,880 sightings you know sort of 1830 01:03:27,190 --> 01:03:24,640 um caused reactions within the 1831 01:03:28,950 --> 01:03:27,200 intelligence committee uh community in 1832 01:03:30,789 --> 01:03:28,960 the us air force and what they were 1833 01:03:32,630 --> 01:03:30,799 trying to do to try and catch up if you 1834 01:03:36,230 --> 01:03:32,640 like and try to find out what was going 1835 01:03:38,470 --> 01:03:36,240 on so it tells quite a nice story 1836 01:03:40,710 --> 01:03:38,480 in in some detail but i don't go it's 1837 01:03:42,309 --> 01:03:40,720 not a huge deep dive but there's enough 1838 01:03:44,789 --> 01:03:42,319 information there hopefully to satisfy 1839 01:03:46,470 --> 01:03:44,799 people who want you know uh a little bit 1840 01:03:48,150 --> 01:03:46,480 more information but for the people who 1841 01:03:50,789 --> 01:03:48,160 are just coming to it quite casually 1842 01:03:51,589 --> 01:03:50,799 then it tells a decent story for them as 1843 01:03:53,190 --> 01:03:51,599 well 1844 01:03:55,829 --> 01:03:53,200 yeah absolutely i'll bring that back up 1845 01:03:57,990 --> 01:03:55,839 so this one is 50 to 52. forward by 1846 01:04:00,470 --> 01:03:58,000 louis celezondo which is a really good 1847 01:04:02,309 --> 01:04:00,480 really good forward i have read that um 1848 01:04:04,710 --> 01:04:02,319 and then if we just go back to this one 1849 01:04:06,950 --> 01:04:04,720 so this is 46 to 49 1850 01:04:08,870 --> 01:04:06,960 dawn of the flying sources forward by 1851 01:04:10,870 --> 01:04:08,880 george nap there is a link below this 1852 01:04:13,270 --> 01:04:10,880 video to amazon where you can go and 1853 01:04:16,230 --> 01:04:13,280 check them all out order them um they 1854 01:04:18,950 --> 01:04:16,240 are available on 1855 01:04:20,710 --> 01:04:18,960 kindle that's the word as well 1856 01:04:23,270 --> 01:04:20,720 so we've had 1857 01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:23,280 four words from sean cahill lou elizondo 1858 01:04:27,510 --> 01:04:24,960 and george knapp so what can you tell us 1859 01:04:29,589 --> 01:04:27,520 about the next book 1860 01:04:33,029 --> 01:04:29,599 so the next one um 1861 01:04:35,990 --> 01:04:33,039 is going to be from 53 to 54 so 1862 01:04:37,190 --> 01:04:36,000 again it's a period of time when you 1863 01:04:38,789 --> 01:04:37,200 know there were still quite a lot of 1864 01:04:40,390 --> 01:04:38,799 things still happening 1865 01:04:42,789 --> 01:04:40,400 some people seem to think that after the 1866 01:04:44,789 --> 01:04:42,799 um july weekends in 1952 when there was 1867 01:04:47,430 --> 01:04:44,799 the washington sightings over washington 1868 01:04:49,510 --> 01:04:47,440 dc the things fell off a cliff well they 1869 01:04:51,190 --> 01:04:49,520 did in the public sphere because the 1870 01:04:52,470 --> 01:04:51,200 press basically went oh yeah the 1871 01:04:53,829 --> 01:04:52,480 american air force are telling us that 1872 01:04:55,589 --> 01:04:53,839 nothing's happening oh yeah and they 1873 01:04:57,910 --> 01:04:55,599 just went away but actually the 1874 01:04:59,510 --> 01:04:57,920 phenomenon never went away and reporting 1875 01:05:01,990 --> 01:04:59,520 didn't really go away either even the 1876 01:05:03,349 --> 01:05:02,000 press or elsewhere so but there are 1877 01:05:05,430 --> 01:05:03,359 quite a lot of interesting events in 1878 01:05:07,990 --> 01:05:05,440 those two years as well now rather than 1879 01:05:10,630 --> 01:05:08,000

1885 01:05:24,150 --> 01:05:21,520 are kind of fellow travelers in terms of 1886 01:05:26,950 --> 01:05:24,160 looking at real documents but also in 1887 01:05:28,630 --> 01:05:26,960 understanding and appreciating the value 1888 01:05:30,710 --> 01:05:28,640 of cases like this 1889 01:05:34,470 --> 01:05:30,720 so there are two people this time for 1890 01:05:36,390 --> 01:05:34,480 forwards
