00:02:57,420 speaking now for quite a few months um 68 00:03:02,449 --> 00:02:59,220 and I understand that it's a sensitive 69 00:03:04,670 --> 00:03:02,459 topic for sort of commercial and private 70 00:03:07,070 --> 00:03:04,680 and civilian Pilots to talk about but at 71 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:07,080 the same time I'm you know through our 72 00:03:11,030 --> 00:03:09,120 discussions I think you you 73 00:03:12,949 --> 00:03:11,040 said to me you understand the importance 74 00:03:14,570 --> 00:03:12,959 of of coming forward so thank you so 75 00:03:16,670 --> 00:03:14,580 much for doing that

pressure 79 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:22,440 um actually in that sense it's kind of a 80 00:03:26,750 --> 00:03:24,000 good thing that I'm not a military pilot 81 00:03:29,330 --> 00:03:26,760 because I don't have to uh adhere to any 82 00:03:31,309 --> 00:03:29,340 secrecy or any uh any commanders in that 83 00:03:33,949 --> 00:03:31,319 sense I'm a yeah I'm a commercial pilot 84 00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:33,959 and if I see something it's uh it's uh 85 00:03:38,030 --> 00:03:35,700 it's open for me to share it with the 86 00:03:40,070 --> 00:03:38,040 world and yeah well as we go through all 87 00:03:43,309 --> 00:03:40,080 these cases hopefully in the next 88 00:03:44,449 --> 00:03:43,319 hour or so we will see that I think 89 00:03:46,009 --> 00:03:44,459 there's also a lot of possible 90 00:03:48,110 --> 00:03:46,019 explanations for some of the things that 91 00:03:50,089 --> 00:03:48,120 I've seen so I can talk openly about 92 00:03:51,710 --> 00:03:50,099 everything and anything and uh let's 93 00:03:53,750 --> 00:03:51,720 let's try and get to the bottom of it 94 00:03:55,970 --> 00:03:53,760 there's a couple of them absolutely 95 00:03:57,890 --> 00:03:55,980 fantastic I can't wait but I think 96 00:04:00,229 --> 00:03:57,900 initially I'd love to know a bit more 97 00:04:01,610 --> 00:04:00,239 about yourself uh you know about your 98 00:04:03,350 --> 00:04:01,620 career and and 99 00:04:05,270 --> 00:04:03,360 you know starting from a young age what 100 00:04:07,490 --> 00:04:05,280 got you into the uh 101 00:04:09,289 --> 00:04:07,500 the love of Aviation and flying if you 102 00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:09,299 can start wherever you like 103 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:11,340 well basically the love for flying 104 00:04:14,809 --> 00:04:12,959 started when I was really young when I 105 00:04:17,030 --> 00:04:14,819 was I think four years old I had my 106 00:04:18,409 --> 00:04:17,040 first flight as a passenger and it's one 107 00:04:19,909 --> 00:04:18,419 of the first memories I had it's just 108 00:04:22,370 --> 00:04:19,919 looking out of the window and enjoying 109 00:04:24,350 --> 00:04:22,380 all the views and it was it still is 110 00:04:26,689 --> 00:04:24,360 mesmerizing to see the clouds and to see 111 00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:26,699 the world from such a literally unique 112 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,860 perspective from above the world and 113 00:04:33,770 --> 00:04:30,720 this triggered me I think subconsciously 114 00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:33,780 to um to to be interested in in flying 115 00:04:38,330 --> 00:04:36,060 in aviation and as soon as I could I 116 00:04:40,730 --> 00:04:38,340 pursued a career in aviation first I 117 00:04:42,890 --> 00:04:40,740 studied for about two years Aeronautical 118 00:04:44,330 --> 00:04:42,900 Engineering but I decided that instead 119 00:04:46,189 --> 00:04:44,340 of the drawing board I wanted to fly the 120 00:04:48,350 --> 00:04:46,199 airplanes myself 121 00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:48,360 um and actually I already started taking 122 00:04:52,189 --> 00:04:50,100 flying lessons glider lessons when I was 123 00:04:54,890 --> 00:04:52,199 14 and I got my first private private 124 00:04:57,830 --> 00:04:54,900 license when I was 17 so it was really 125 00:04:59,390 --> 00:04:57,840 motivated to uh to be in the air and to 126 00:05:01,010 --> 00:04:59,400 to fly 127 00:05:03,830 --> 00:05:01,020 um and I've been really lucky so far 128 00:05:06,830 --> 00:05:03,840 when I was 20 I managed to get my first 129 00:05:09,230 --> 00:05:06,840 job as a pilot in aviation uh pretty 130 00:05:11,270 --> 00:05:09,240 young I still had a lot of hair but uh 131 00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:11,280 that's what Aviation does to you I guess 132 00:05:16,670 --> 00:05:14,280 uh no but without kidding I had a 133 00:05:19,670 --> 00:05:16,680 I was really lucky to get a job with the 134 00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:19,680 company that is was basically uh leasing 135 00:05:23,090 --> 00:05:21,600 out their airplanes including Crews to 136 00:05:25,850 --> 00:05:23,100 other airlines it was on a small 137 00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:25,860 airplane a 450 turbo prop 138 00:05:32,330 --> 00:05:28,740 um which is a relatively small only only 139 00:05:33,950 --> 00:05:32,340 50 seats a short range operation for 140 00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:33,960 that company I flew for a lot of 141 00:05:37,670 --> 00:05:35,699 European airlines we flew a lot of 142 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:37,680 passengers for new names all the big 143 00:05:42,290 --> 00:05:40,320 European airlines but I also flew 144 00:05:44,409 --> 00:05:42,300 contracts in Africa for a lot of African 145 00:05:46,850 --> 00:05:44,419 companies which was really adventurous 146 00:05:48,650 --> 00:05:46,860 and we had a military contract or 147 00:05:51,070 --> 00:05:48,660 military contracts in Afghanistan where 148 00:05:53,930 --> 00:05:51,080 I flew for almost one and a half years 149 00:05:56,870 --> 00:05:53,940 doing military contracts flights 150 00:05:59,390 --> 00:05:56,880 basically hired by the the military 151 00:06:01,850 --> 00:05:59,400 um and we just shipped all their people 152 00:06:05,150 --> 00:06:01,860 and equipment around and that was really 153 00:06:07,310 --> 00:06:05,160 something really adventurous it was it 154 00:06:08,870 --> 00:06:07,320 was it was just just great really really 155 00:06:11,090 --> 00:06:08,880 amazing 156 00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:11,100 um but my ambition was was to fly a bit 157 00:06:17,150 --> 00:06:13,560 bigger than just a turboprop and 158 00:06:19,550 --> 00:06:17,160 unfortunately when I was what was it 23 159 00:06:22,189 --> 00:06:19,560 I was hired on the 737 with a European 160 00:06:24,409 --> 00:06:22,199 charter company Dutch uh Dutch Airline 161 00:06:26,749 --> 00:06:24,419 and for four and a half five years I 162 00:06:28,670 --> 00:06:26,759 flew the Boeing 737 all over Europe 163 00:06:30,290 --> 00:06:28,680 which was uh really interesting 164 00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:30,300 experience as well really good for my 165 00:06:34,010 --> 00:06:32,220 flying career because for as a pilot you 166 00:06:36,710 --> 00:06:34,020 won't have jet hours 167 00:06:38,450 --> 00:06:36,720 and even though I uh I really liked the 168 00:06:40,550 --> 00:06:38,460 job my ambition was still to see the 169 00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:40,560 world and to uh to fly around the world 170 00:06:45,950 --> 00:06:43,560 in a bit bigger airplane So eventually I 171 00:06:47,529 --> 00:06:45,960 was hired when I was 27 on the Boeing 172 00:06:50,809 --> 00:06:47,539 747 173 00:06:53,390 --> 00:06:50,819 as of the cargo pilots and this was 174 00:06:55,790 --> 00:06:53,400 already I think 12 almost 13 years ago 175 00:06:57,770 --> 00:06:55,800 and since then I've been flying all over 176 00:07:00,890 --> 00:06:57,780 the world in the Boeing 747 and it's 177 00:07:03,050 --> 00:07:00,900 just the best job ever it's really cool 178 00:07:05,390 --> 00:07:03,060 um yeah it's it's been fantastic and now 179 00:07:09,230 --> 00:07:05,400 since about one year I'm a captain on 180 00:07:11,749 --> 00:07:09,240 the 747 now 39 years old so I've been 181 00:07:13,969 --> 00:07:11,759 really lucky in that sense to uh to to 182 00:07:17,029 --> 00:07:13,979 have a steep career in aviation still 183 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:17,039 fly small airplane Cessnas Etc just 184 00:07:20,809 --> 00:07:18,479 across the Netherlands sometimes with 185 00:07:22,629 --> 00:07:20,819 friends and family so I'm I'm an 186 00:07:25,249 --> 00:07:22,639 aviation nerd 187 00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:25,259 besides that I'm interested in Aerospace 188 00:07:29,629 --> 00:07:27,300 I'm really interested in the Apollo 189 00:07:33,110 --> 00:07:29,639 missions which is uh which is a topic 190 00:07:35,570 --> 00:07:33,120 that is triggering my imagination 191 00:07:36,890 --> 00:07:35,580 um interested in history just um just 192 00:07:38,570 --> 00:07:36,900 basically everything that has to do with 193 00:07:40,249 --> 00:07:38,580 with ancient history to modern history 194 00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:40,259 in the first world war second world war 195 00:07:44,330 --> 00:07:41,520 so 196 00:07:46,070 --> 00:07:44,340 um yeah that's uh that's basically me 197 00:07:47,870 --> 00:07:46,080 um and also a major part of my life is 198 00:07:50,870 --> 00:07:47,880 photography and this is pretty much 199 00:07:53,089 --> 00:07:50,880 parallel with uh with the flying career 200 00:07:54,529 --> 00:07:53,099 and it started almost literally from the 201 00:07:56,689 --> 00:07:54,539 first flight I told you about when I saw 202 00:08:00,050 --> 00:07:56,699 these views as a young boy from the from 203 00:08:02,689 --> 00:08:00,060 the cabin windows I just I just felt the 204 00:08:04,430 --> 00:08:02,699 need to immortalize it to capture it and 205 00:08:05,809 --> 00:08:04,440 ever since my first flights during 206 00:08:07,490 --> 00:08:05,819 Flight Training I always had a small 207 00:08:08,930 --> 00:08:07,500 camera with me not taking too many 208 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:08,940 pictures but whenever there was a chance 209 00:08:13,550 --> 00:08:10,800 to to take pictures of some mountains or 210 00:08:15,469 --> 00:08:13,560 clouds whatever and especially when I 211 00:08:17,029 --> 00:08:15,479 flew in Africa and Afghanistan on the 212 00:08:19,490 --> 00:08:17,039 book of 50. 213 00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:19,500 um I realized that the stuff that I was 214 00:08:24,230 --> 00:08:21,240 seeing the adventures I was experiencing 215 00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:24,240 uh were really really unique and I just 216 00:08:28,010 --> 00:08:26,340 had to document it not just the views 217 00:08:30,409 --> 00:08:28,020 which were already kind of uh 218 00:08:32,029 --> 00:08:30,419 interesting but just the adventures all 219 00:08:34,190 --> 00:08:32,039 this stuff we did there and experience 220 00:08:36,829 --> 00:08:34,200 it had to be captured and if I wouldn't 221 00:08:38,510 --> 00:08:36,839 do it then nobody else would do it so I 222 00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:38,520 invested a little bit for as far as I 223 00:08:43,969 --> 00:08:41,760 could in the smaller camera and this was 224 00:08:46,130 --> 00:08:43,979 basically as I said parallel with my 225 00:08:47,810 --> 00:08:46,140 flying career every time I upgraded an 226 00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:47,820 airplane I was able to upgrade my 227 00:08:54,650 --> 00:08:52,080 photography equipment as well so um 228 00:08:57,230 --> 00:08:54,660 um flying the 747 that means we fly 229 00:08:59,449 --> 00:08:57,240 really long distances generally uh with 230 00:09:01,910 --> 00:08:59,459 the low workloads during Cruise flights 231 00:09:04,070 --> 00:09:01,920 which allows me to take pictures uh 232 00:09:06,470 --> 00:09:04,080 mostly from the cockpit so I'm kind of 233 00:09:08,870 --> 00:09:06,480 specialized in aerial photography and 234 00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:08,880 it's a big passion together with flying 235 00:09:12,530 --> 00:09:10,920 that that's that's uh for me personally 236 00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:12,540 it's just a great combination and I'm 237 00:09:16,009 --> 00:09:14,760 I'm really enjoying that so for me the 238 00:09:18,050 --> 00:09:16,019 the 239 00:09:19,550 --> 00:09:18,060 flying is really a lot of fun and I do 240 00:09:21,110 --> 00:09:19,560 it with a lot of passion and I do it as 241 00:09:23,329 --> 00:09:21,120 a professional and on top of that 242 00:09:25,850 --> 00:09:23,339 capturing the beauty capturing the The 243 00:09:27,170 --> 00:09:25,860 Unbelievable Landscapes from above and 244 00:09:29,090 --> 00:09:27,180 literally sharing that

together perfectly and yeah so in a 248 00:09:39,949 --> 00:09:37,800 nutshell that's uh that's me 249 00:09:42,290 --> 00:09:39,959 um yeah maybe some viewers might have 250 00:09:45,410 -->

that I'm 256 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:55,800 not just the first guy to take a flying 257 00:10:00,530 --> 00:09:58,080 lesson and uh and Proclaim to see uh 258 00:10:02,810 --> 00:10:00,540 funny stuff

check that out right so 273 00:10:35,329 --> 00:10:34,260 let's move on to the topic of UFOs I'd 274 00:10:37,670 --> 00:10:35,339 just like to know you mentioned there 275 00:10:39,410 --> 00:10:37,680 you you know you have a 276 00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:39,420 a passion for sort of history and things 277 00:10:44,090 --> 00:10:41,820 like that when did the UFO subject first 278 00:10:45,650 --> 00:10:44,100 kind of enter your life and and to what 279 00:10:47,329 --> 00:10:45,660 level 280 00:10:50,870 --> 00:10:47,339 um well of course I heard about the the 281 00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:50,880 lore about UFOs and uh and uh 282 00:10:56,509 --> 00:10:53,880 um the flying saucerer myths when I was 283 00:10:58,370 --> 00:10:56,519 very young because it's it's part of our 284 00:11:01,250 --> 00:10:58,380 culture but I never really took it 285 00:11:06,050 --> 00:11:01,260 serious if I'm really honest it was too 286 00:11:07,850 --> 00:11:06,060 much of a of a fringe topic and the big 287 00:11:10,130 --> 00:11:07,860 problem is that there was only a lot of 288 00:11:10,790 --> 00:11:10,140 anecdotal evidence 289 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:10,800 um 290 00:11:14,690 --> 00:11:12,480 I just I just couldn't take it too 291 00:11:16,850 --> 00:11:14,700 serious because um I consider myself an 292 00:11:18,949 --> 00:11:16,860 open-minded skeptic in the sense that 293 00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:18,959 I'm open-minded to a lot of topics I'm 294 00:11:25,069 --> 00:11:22,800 open-minded to uh philosophies 295 00:11:26,930 --> 00:11:25,079 Etc but I'm kind of skeptic and if I 296 00:11:29,630 --> 00:11:26,940 don't see it with my own eyes 297 00:11:30,829 --> 00:11:29,640 um there's there's I I don't know I 298 00:11:32,990 --> 00:11:30,839 cannot really be interested in those 299 00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:33,000 kind of topics 300 00:11:40,610 --> 00:11:34,920 um 301 00:11:42,230 --> 00:11:40,620 with the commander David fraver uh for 302 00:11:45,829 --> 00:11:42,240 the viewers who don't know who he is 303 00:11:49,009 --> 00:11:45,839 he's a x topkin Navy Pilots also have 18 304 00:11:50,389 --> 00:11:49,019 pilots and he's a very trustworthy guy 305 00:11:52,670 --> 00:11:50,399 and he did a couple of interviews 306 00:11:55,190 --> 00:11:52,680 including with Joe Rogan and also for 307 00:11:57,470 --> 00:11:55,200 the New York Times I think I saw his 308 00:11:59,990 --> 00:11:57,480 interviews and this guy is the real deal 309 00:12:01,310 --> 00:12:00,000 he's super steady 310 00:12:03,889 --> 00:12:01,320 um and he came forward with his 311 00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:03,899 observations about some objects he saw 312 00:12:09,350 --> 00:12:07,260 and I think this was in 2017 when I when 313 00:12:12,410 --> 00:12:09,360 I first saw his interview and the first 314 00:12:13,790 --> 00:12:12,420 thing that came to mind was hey I think 315 00:12:15,710 --> 00:12:13,800 I've seen some of these things as well 316 00:12:17,990 --> 00:12:15,720 and I always thought they were military 317 00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:18,000 but now one of these top military Pilots 318 00:12:22,850 --> 00:12:20,640 absolutely credible is is is basically 319 00:12:24,710 --> 00:12:22,860 coming forward and saying that he has no 320 00:12:27,050 --> 00:12:24,720 clue what they were 321 00:12:30,050 --> 00:12:27,060 um that initially opened up my my eyes 322 00:12:33,170 --> 00:12:30,060 to the uh to the topic in the sense that 323 00:12:35,329 --> 00:12:33,180 I I was still hesitant but I decided to 324 00:12:37,550 --> 00:12:35,339 read into it a little bit more I read 325 00:12:39,829 --> 00:12:37,560 all the Articles uh from Leslie Keen I 326 00:12:40,610 --> 00:12:39,839 think it was in the New York Times and 327 00:12:42,470 --> 00:12:40,620 um 328 00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:42,480 saw some other interviews with Commander 329 00:12:47,810 --> 00:12:45,360 David Traver and I think in 2018 I saw 330 00:12:51,530 --> 00:12:47,820 the first interviews with Louis Elizondo 331 00:12:53,629 --> 00:12:51,540 they had the former head of atip 332 00:12:55,430 --> 00:12:53,639 um and um 333 00:12:58,129 --> 00:12:55,440 I was absolutely blown away because 334 00:13:00,410 --> 00:12:58,139 basically this was confirming 335 00:13:02,150 --> 00:13:00,420 the story from Leslie Keen it was a 336 00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:02,160 confirming the story of Commander David 337 00:13:07,610 --> 00:13:04,620 Shriver and his fellow pilots and 338 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:07,620 basically what's the conclusion that I 339 00:13:13,550 --> 00:13:10,560 drew is that there was something really 340 00:13:15,050 --> 00:13:13,560 interesting going on here and uh some of 341 00:13:17,050 --> 00:13:15,060 the stuff I've seen in the past might 342 00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:17,060 actually not be that easily 343 00:13:23,389 --> 00:13:20,040 dismissible as something military or 344 00:13:26,090 --> 00:13:23,399 some kind of a rocket stuff and actually 345 00:13:27,949 --> 00:13:26,100 um yeah since 2018 I decided to read 346 00:13:30,470 --> 00:13:27,959 more and more about the topic 347 00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:30,480 and to basically 348 00:13:34,910 --> 00:13:33,000 um try to identify the stuff that I've 349 00:13:38,090 --> 00:13:34,920 seen in the past because I've seen quite 350 00:13:39,650 --> 00:13:38,100 a lot of things from the air which 99 is 351 00:13:41,990 --> 00:13:39,660 is easily explainable or maybe even 352 00:13:44,329 --> 00:13:42,000 later explainable we have one case we 353 00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:44,339 will cover it later on that took me 354 00:13:48,470 --> 00:13:46,560 almost maybe eight years to to to to 355 00:13:50,449 --> 00:13:48,480 find out what it was but eventually I 356 00:13:51,949 --> 00:13:50,459 did find it out so I was hoping by 357 00:13:54,050 --> 00:13:51,959 reading more about the topic to 358 00:13:57,230 --> 00:13:54,060 basically come to an easy conclusion and 359 00:13:59,290 --> 00:13:57,240 to either dismiss it as a hoax or find 360 00:14:01,970 --> 00:13:59,300 some answers to the stuff I've seen and 361 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:01,980 it's been a rabbit hole because since 362 00:14:08,990 --> 00:14:06,000 since then basically I've I've I found 363 00:14:11,230 --> 00:14:09,000 out that this is a major topic for not 364 00:14:14,810 --> 00:14:11,240 just the U.S defense 365 00:14:17,090 --> 00:14:14,820 Department of Defense and a lot of Navy 366 00:14:19,430 --> 00:14:17,100 Pilots but for many more countries I 367 00:14:21,889 --> 00:14:19,440 believe it's Brazil Japan in China even 368 00:14:24,650 --> 00:14:21,899 they're emitting their uh they're 369 00:14:27,050 --> 00:14:24,660 dealing with this phenomena in France uh 370 00:14:28,970 --> 00:14:27,060 there's it there's even the I think it's 371 00:14:31,730 --> 00:14:28,980 that I don't know task force I think 372 00:14:34,370 --> 00:14:31,740 it's a part of CNS part of the the 373 00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:34,380 French space force that are taking this 374 00:14:39,410 --> 00:14:36,899 subject very serious leaving the Spanish 375 00:14:41,509 --> 00:14:39,420 Army is taking very serious and for me 376 00:14:45,410 --> 00:14:41,519 it's only confirming that what I've seen 377 00:14:48,290 --> 00:14:45,420 is is maybe more than just uh a military 378 00:14:50,569 --> 00:14:48,300 Black Project a rocket tour whatever it 379 00:14:53,389 --> 00:14:50,579 is so yeah long story short I became 380 00:14:55,129 --> 00:14:53,399 interested since um since the interviews 381 00:14:58,730 --> 00:14:55,139 with Commando David Draper and Louis 382 00:15:01,490 --> 00:14:58,740 Elizondo and uh yeah now we're here and 383 00:15:03,949 --> 00:15:01,500 I can only hope that more pilots will 384 00:15:05,629 --> 00:15:03,959 come forward let's say more credible 385 00:15:08,509 --> 00:15:05,639 observers will come forward with their 386 00:15:10,069 --> 00:15:08,519 sightings because I know for a fact that 387 00:15:13,189 --> 00:15:10,079 quite a lot of Pilots have seen things 388 00:15:14,449 --> 00:15:13,199 many of many many Pilots still think 389 00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:14,459 it's something military it's something 390 00:15:19,129 --> 00:15:16,800 mundane and other part it's just simply 391 00:15:20,449 --> 00:15:19,139 literally don't want to know they see 392 00:15:21,650 --> 00:15:20,459 something and they say I don't want to 393 00:15:24,350 --> 00:15:21,660 know 394 00:15:26,170 --> 00:15:24,360 um so if this can be the the first step 395 00:15:28,970 --> 00:15:26,180 towards more openness about the topic 396 00:15:31,370 --> 00:15:28,980 among Pilots civil Pilots credible 397 00:15:32,329 --> 00:15:31,380 observers are the better yeah I hope so 398 00:15:33,889 --> 00:15:32,339 too 399 00:15:35,389 --> 00:15:33,899 um I've got a great question here from a 400 00:15:37,430 --> 00:15:35,399 friend your name but before we do that 401 00:15:39,350 --> 00:15:37,440 you mentioned luellizondo there and 402 00:15:41,269 --> 00:15:39,360 before we jumped on the live I mentioned 403 00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:41,279 that I'd spoken to

00:17:04,970 --> 00:17:03,480 pilots in the US over the Pacific the 439 00:17:07,970 --> 00:17:04,980 game became pulled with their sightings 440 00:17:10,730 --> 00:17:07,980 as well so I really

becoming 444 00:17:19,610 --> 00:17:17,880 um less French and more more open and uh 445 00:17:21,650 --> 00:17:19,620 wow with this well I didn't I didn't see 446 00:17:23,090 --> 00:17:21,660 that

00:17:28,140 thank him also for not just this 450 00:17:32,990 --> 00:17:30,419 um this this topic but everything else 451 00:17:35,750 --> 00:17:33,000 he's done because I realize he's uh he's 452 00:17:36,950 --> 00:17:35,760 more than just the UAP topic I'm glad 453 00:17:39,710 --> 00:17:36,960 you enjoyed that it's the very least 454 00:17:41,570 --> 00:17:39,720 that I could do and Lou was Lou was Lou 455 00:17:43,850 --> 00:17:41,580 was the one that suggested it before I 456 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,860 even had the chance so uh there you go 457 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:45,600 I'll send that to you as well so you've 458 00:17:50,029 --> 00:17:48,000 got your own little uh copy of that 459 00:17:51,890 --> 00:17:50,039 um let's jump into this question excuse 460 00:17:54,770 --> 00:17:51,900 me I've got a mint in my mouth uh from 461 00:17:56,630 --> 00:17:54,780 your name so as a fellow duchy having my 462 00:17:58,730 --> 00:17:56,640 own sightings I know how hard it is to 463 00:18:00,169 --> 00:17:58,740 talk to other duchies about this how was 464 00:18:02,570 --> 00:18:00,179 this for you to talk about with fellow 465 00:18:04,070 --> 00:18:02,580 Pilots friends Etc and were you actually 466 00:18:06,590 --> 00:18:04,080 able to 467 00:18:09,169 --> 00:18:06,600 huh interesting question 468 00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:09,179 um I'm not sure if if this uh this 469 00:18:13,669 --> 00:18:11,760 person is also a pilot normally I don't 470 00:18:16,250 --> 00:18:13,679 discuss these topics with uh with just 471 00:18:18,590 --> 00:18:16,260 anyone because honestly my life is much 472 00:18:21,470 --> 00:18:18,600 more than Europe actually this this this 473 00:18:24,830 --> 00:18:21,480 this topic is just not something I even 474 00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:24,840 even think about discussing other people 475 00:18:30,650 --> 00:18:27,900 um but the topic sometimes comes up with 476 00:18:32,750 --> 00:18:30,660 uh with other colleagues um you have to 477 00:18:35,210 --> 00:18:32,760 imagine you're flying a 747 from New 478 00:18:36,650 --> 00:18:35,220 York to to uh to Europe and you're 479 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:36,660 spending six seven hours over the 480 00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:38,160 Atlantic are you staring at the stars 481 00:18:43,070 --> 00:18:40,440 and you're staring at the Moonlight with 482 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,080 nothing else to do but to talk 483 00:18:47,090 --> 00:18:45,120 um then yeah naturally the topic comes 484 00:18:47,810 --> 00:18:47,100 up every now and then 485 00:18:50,450 --> 00:18:47,820 um 486 00:18:52,070 --> 00:18:50,460 and the interesting thing is that 487 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:52,080 um let's say a quarter of the pilots one 488 00:18:55,310 --> 00:18:53,520 third of the pilots they have actually 489 00:18:58,010 --> 00:18:55,320 seen something and they're very 490 00:18:59,810 --> 00:18:58,020 reluctant to talk about it 491 00:19:01,490 --> 00:18:59,820 um a one-third of the pilots is just 492 00:19:03,470 --> 00:19:01,500 simply not interested not even 493 00:19:06,169 --> 00:19:03,480 dismissing the subject but simply not 494 00:19:08,049 --> 00:19:06,179 interested in it and uh some of the 495 00:19:10,310 --> 00:19:08,059 people they they're simply not not 496 00:19:13,190 --> 00:19:10,320 willing to talk about it or not open to 497 00:19:15,350 --> 00:19:13,200 any kind of subject so 498 00:19:17,330 --> 00:19:15,360 um the moment is the the topic comes up 499 00:19:19,669 --> 00:19:17,340 especially with with other Pilots I'm 500 00:19:21,890 --> 00:19:19,679 able to talk about it and um it's it's 501 00:19:23,870 --> 00:19:21,900 very interesting because uh there will 502 00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:23,880 be a case we will discuss later on it 503 00:19:28,610 --> 00:19:27,000 was in the 2014 I think it was a case 504 00:19:31,010 --> 00:19:28,620 about the red light so the Pacific Ocean 505 00:19:33,409 --> 00:19:31,020 that I've seen and this this went viral 506 00:19:36,470 --> 00:19:33,419 it was just within 24 hours it was on 507 00:19:38,210 --> 00:19:36,480 all the major newspapers and initially I 508 00:19:39,710 --> 00:19:38,220 was really afraid that some of my 509 00:19:42,350 --> 00:19:39,720 colleagues would take 510 00:19:43,310 --> 00:19:42,360 um we would radicalize me because even 511 00:19:43,970 --> 00:19:43,320 though 512 00:19:46,490 --> 00:19:43,980 um 513 00:19:49,010 --> 00:19:46,500 I never thought that the uh the lights 514 00:19:51,169 --> 00:19:49,020 we saw was anything related to aliens or 515 00:19:53,270 --> 00:19:51,179 the Paranormal or you You Name It We 516 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:53,280 actually thought there was a volcano 517 00:19:57,529 --> 00:19:55,440 just exploding below us 518 00:19:59,930 --> 00:19:57,539 um but the media just just made it up as 519 00:20:02,330 --> 00:19:59,940 a under underwater UFO base that I took 520 00:20:04,250 --> 00:20:02,340 pictures off uh and when I saw those 521 00:20:05,870 --> 00:20:04,260 headlines I thought ah now I'm going to 522 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:05,880 be the the laughing stock of the company 523 00:20:09,770 --> 00:20:07,200 you know 524 00:20:12,169 --> 00:20:09,780 um but this was far from the case I 525 00:20:13,789 --> 00:20:12,179 never received any ridiculous in 526 00:20:16,250 --> 00:20:13,799 comments and actually a lot of a lot of 527 00:20:18,590 --> 00:20:16,260 my colleagues uh veteran Pilots 528 00:20:20,210 --> 00:20:18,600 sometimes even ex-military Pilots they 529 00:20:22,970 --> 00:20:20,220 came forward with their own theories 530 00:20:25,130 --> 00:20:22,980 with their own experiences 531 00:20:28,250 --> 00:20:25,140 um which was really revealing to me that 532 00:20:30,610 --> 00:20:28,260 this topic is uh maybe Taboo in in 533 00:20:34,070 --> 00:20:30,620 society but 534 00:20:35,810 --> 00:20:34,080 really interesting for a lot of uh uh 535 00:20:37,850 --> 00:20:35,820 pilots and a lot a lot of people are 536 00:20:39,710 --> 00:20:37,860 interested in it so yeah talking about 537 00:20:42,529 --> 00:20:39,720 it I would only talk about if the 538 00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:42,539 subject comes up and if people are open 539 00:20:47,330 --> 00:20:45,000 for it and if not then just just don't 540 00:20:49,070 --> 00:20:47,340 even don't even bother because I think 541 00:20:50,810 --> 00:20:49,080 if you if you force the subject on 542 00:20:52,250 --> 00:20:50,820 people who are not into it or open to it 543 00:20:54,590 --> 00:20:52,260 especially people who have not read 544 00:20:55,909 --> 00:20:54,600 themselves into the subject of have not 545 00:20:57,890 --> 00:20:55,919 done their homework 546 00:21:00,230 --> 00:20:57,900 um it's still kind of a fringe topic and 547 00:21:01,789 --> 00:21:00,240 we have to progress very slowly towards 548 00:21:05,390 --> 00:21:01,799 the point that the subject becomes more 549 00:21:07,549 --> 00:21:05,400 mainstream uh more approachable and 550 00:21:09,110 --> 00:21:07,559 um once we we've reached that point we 551 00:21:12,010 --> 00:21:09,120 can finally 552 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:14,210 talk about it with other people who are 553 00:21:18,470 --> 00:21:16,559 not not yet read into it so 554 00:21:20,510 --> 00:21:18,480 um I will just stick to the people who 555 00:21:22,970 --> 00:21:20,520 have the same experiences for now and 556 00:21:25,130 --> 00:21:22,980 and let the let the the conversation 557 00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:25,140 flow and let the topic grow naturally 558 00:21:28,970 --> 00:21:27,360 yeah completely agree everyone has to 559 00:21:31,250 --> 00:21:28,980 come at this at their own pace so yeah 560 00:21:32,990 --> 00:21:31,260 fantastic now let's jump into some of 561 00:21:34,430 --> 00:21:33,000 these cases so what we're going to do 562 00:21:37,190 --> 00:21:34,440 for everyone watching and listening 563 00:21:39,890 --> 00:21:37,200 we're going to discuss uh these cases in 564 00:21:40,730 --> 00:21:39,900 chronological order so starting with the 565 00:21:41,990 --> 00:21:40,740 oldest 566 00:21:43,430 --> 00:21:42,000 um except for one case we're going to 567 00:21:45,950 --> 00:21:43,440 leave to the end because that's kind of 568 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:45,960 the the most intriguing uh so it's going 569 00:21:50,390 --> 00:21:48,480 to be a mixture of anomalous cases uh 570 00:21:52,310 --> 00:21:50,400 well they all started out anomalous but 571 00:21:53,990 --> 00:21:52,320 some that you've actually done your due 572 00:21:55,490 --> 00:21:54,000 diligence and you've figured out what 573 00:21:58,070 --> 00:21:55,500 they are and you've come up with some 574 00:21:59,510 --> 00:21:58,080 prosaic explanations which I think is a 575 00:22:01,070 --> 00:21:59,520 really good sign it shows that you care 576 00:22:03,409 --> 00:22:01,080 about what you're seeing and that you're 577 00:22:06,950 --> 00:22:03,419 not just going to jump to conclusions or 578 00:22:09,529 --> 00:22:06,960 you know wild claims that it's a genuine 579 00:22:11,930 --> 00:22:09,539 UFO so I think that's what we're going 580 00:22:14,990 --> 00:22:11,940 to see from some of these cases but to 581 00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:15,000 start us off sorry yeah sorry if I can 582 00:22:19,970 --> 00:22:18,600 quickly make a small audition uh these 583 00:22:21,649 --> 00:22:19,980 are just the let's say the most 584 00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:21,659 interesting cases that I've seen and 585 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:24,419 most inexplicable sightings I did not 586 00:22:28,850 --> 00:22:26,880 include a lot of of really strange 587 00:22:31,490 --> 00:22:28,860 things tiny tiny little things that I've 588 00:22:33,830 --> 00:22:31,500 seen that could be a very mundane and 589 00:22:36,049 --> 00:22:33,840 proseric because a couple of times I've 590 00:22:38,210 --> 00:22:36,059 seen some Stars just disappearing and 591 00:22:40,370 --> 00:22:38,220 all of a sudden when I'm gazing out at 592 00:22:42,529 --> 00:22:40,380 the star field and I'm I'm just enjoying 593 00:22:44,270 --> 00:22:42,539 the the view of the Milky Way it 594 00:22:46,190 --> 00:22:44,280 happened maybe two or three times that 595 00:22:48,230 --> 00:22:46,200 all of a sudden one of the Stars while 596 00:22:50,990 --> 00:22:48,240 she is disappearing 597 00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:51,000 absolutely no explanation for it but I'm 598 00:22:56,450 --> 00:22:52,380 pretty sure it's it's maybe an 599 00:22:59,210 --> 00:22:56,460 atmospheric uh anomaly or or or maybe it 600 00:23:01,130 --> 00:22:59,220 was even a satellite that was just uh uh 601 00:23:02,690 --> 00:23:01,140 tumbling and and stopped reflecting 602 00:23:04,190 --> 00:23:02,700 sunlight 603 00:23:06,049 --> 00:23:04,200 um so 604 00:23:07,490 --> 00:23:06,059 um there are maybe some things uh I've 605 00:23:09,770 --> 00:23:07,500 missed that are really interesting maybe 606 00:23:12,950 --> 00:23:09,780 maybe the only actual genuine thing that 607 00:23:14,330 --> 00:23:12,960 I that I missed and discarded as Pros 608 00:23:16,250 --> 00:23:14,340 Eric 609 00:23:18,649 --> 00:23:16,260 um but the the stuff that we are going 610 00:23:20,750 --> 00:23:18,659 to to go through now 611 00:23:23,210 --> 00:23:20,760 um I did my best to write down old 612 00:23:25,370 --> 00:23:23,220 details uh as they as they came along I 613 00:23:28,149 --> 00:23:25,380 wrote them down in my logbook and as I 614 00:23:31,610 --> 00:23:28,159 said before you know only back in 2018 615 00:23:34,310 --> 00:23:31,620 2019 I started catalog catalyzing 616 00:23:35,870 --> 00:23:34,320 organizing and then for myself and and 617 00:23:36,529 --> 00:23:35,880 basically 618 00:23:38,870 --> 00:23:36,539 um 619 00:23:40,970 --> 00:23:38,880 trying to find out what they what they 620 00:23:42,649 --> 00:23:40,980 were so all the notes all the locations 621 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:42,659 all the all the data it was written down 622 00:23:47,149 --> 00:23:44,880 in my logbook because I just wanted to 623 00:23:49,789 --> 00:23:47,159 know what it was and anyway yeah let's 624 00:23:51,470 --> 00:23:49,799 let's start we have a lot of ground yeah 625 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,480 so let's jump in with the first one the 626 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:53,520 falling like we're number one so if you 627 00:23:57,289 --> 00:23:55,200 can just yeah tell us I guess the 628 00:23:58,549 --> 00:23:57,299 location and dates if you've got all of 629 00:24:00,649 --> 00:23:58,559 that information and then go through 630 00:24:02,090 --> 00:24:00,659 like what you saw yeah and just 631 00:24:04,130 --> 00:24:02,100 sometimes I'm looking down because I had 632 00:24:06,830 --> 00:24:04,140 my notes here and uh all the notes are 633 00:24:08,810 --> 00:24:06,840 also in chronological order 634 00:24:12,529 --> 00:24:08,820 um yeah falling lights I think that 635 00:24:14,630 --> 00:24:12,539 pretty much covers the phenomena uh July 636 00:24:16,970 --> 00:24:14,640 2005 we were flying with the 50 637 00:24:19,010 --> 00:24:16,980 uh somewhere over to Southern Germany it 638 00:24:21,770 --> 00:24:19,020 was late evening 639 00:24:24,470 --> 00:24:21,780 I was already uh dark and we were flying 640 00:24:25,370 --> 00:24:24,480 in between two layers of clouds uh I was 641 00:24:27,830 --> 00:24:25,380 pretty 642 00:24:29,570 --> 00:24:27,840 um inexperienced still and I I didn't 643 00:24:31,430 --> 00:24:29,580 have a lot of uh experience with night 644 00:24:34,130 --> 00:24:31,440 flights we had all the cockpit lights 645 00:24:36,110 --> 00:24:34,140 dimmed and all of a sudden I was I was a 646 00:24:37,730 --> 00:24:36,120 co-pilot and I was looking towards my 647 00:24:39,230 --> 00:24:37,740 left I was talking with my captain so 648 00:24:40,970 --> 00:24:39,240 I'm basically looking towards the left 649 00:24:43,490 --> 00:24:40,980 side of the cockpit and through his 650 00:24:46,730 --> 00:24:43,500 windshield through his window uh I 651 00:24:50,029 --> 00:24:46,740 suddenly saw a very bright white lights 652 00:24:52,730 --> 00:24:50,039 just falling vertically down really fast 653 00:24:54,830 --> 00:24:52,740 and as it fell down it was it was going 654 00:24:56,570 --> 00:24:54,840 in a constant speed really fast as it 655 00:24:58,130 --> 00:24:56,580 fell down it basically dropped through 656 00:25:00,250 --> 00:24:58,140 the lower Cloud layer it was 657 00:25:03,230 --> 00:25:00,260 Illuminating the lower Cloud layer in 658 00:25:05,029 --> 00:25:03,240 for for maybe maybe one or two seconds 659 00:25:07,610 --> 00:25:05,039 and it dropped down below and the light 660 00:25:09,529 --> 00:25:07,620 disappeared and even my my captain it 661 00:25:11,750 --> 00:25:09,539 was more experienced he said no clue 662 00:25:13,490 --> 00:25:11,760 what it was and there were no 663 00:25:15,529 --> 00:25:13,500 thunderstorms around there was just only 664 00:25:19,029 --> 00:25:15,539 these these these really stable layers 665 00:25:22,190 --> 00:25:19,039 of of stratus clouds no electric 666 00:25:24,590 --> 00:25:22,200 magnetic anomalies or 667 00:25:27,649 --> 00:25:24,600 activity in the air so I have no clue 668 00:25:29,810 --> 00:25:27,659 what it was and yeah this was the first 669 00:25:31,390 --> 00:25:29,820 sighting needless to say I I wasn't able 670 00:25:35,029 --> 00:25:31,400 to take any pictures because it happens 671 00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:35,039 instantly and it's it was gone 672 00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:36,720 um but this actually closely resembles 673 00:25:41,450 --> 00:25:39,360 another incident or another light I saw 674 00:25:43,549 --> 00:25:41,460 maybe five years later which will cover 675 00:25:45,289 --> 00:25:43,559 later on and 676 00:25:46,730 --> 00:25:45,299 um this really triggered me into 677 00:25:49,310 --> 00:25:46,740 wondering what it actually was because 678 00:25:51,470 --> 00:25:49,320 I've I simply have no clue what it was I 679 00:25:53,330 --> 00:25:51,480 have uh and I'm still looking for 680 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,340 answers so this was the first thing that 681 00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:55,440 that really 682 00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,080 um yeah surprised me from here yeah and 683 00:26:03,529 --> 00:26:00,480 in a case like that or in that case did 684 00:26:05,390 --> 00:26:03,539 you or your or the main Captain I 685 00:26:07,310 --> 00:26:05,400 suppose it was do they do you contact 686 00:26:08,930 --> 00:26:07,320 air traffic control and ask if there's 687 00:26:11,029 --> 00:26:08,940 other traffic or was it just like don't 688 00:26:13,250 --> 00:26:11,039 know what that was carry on yeah 689 00:26:16,190 --> 00:26:13,260 basically just uh I don't know what it 690 00:26:17,990 --> 00:26:16,200 is just just carry on uh nowadays 691 00:26:19,130 --> 00:26:18,000 um I I always ask them Air Traffic 692 00:26:21,890 --> 00:26:19,140 Control if there's some military 693 00:26:22,810 --> 00:26:21,900 activity if there's any other traffic 694 00:26:25,310 --> 00:26:22,820 um 695 00:26:27,289 --> 00:26:25,320 yeah actually this was the one of the 696 00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:27,299 few times that I never asked the air 697 00:26:30,769 --> 00:26:29,220 traffic control what it was almost all 698 00:26:33,110 --> 00:26:30,779 the other cases I was asking and 699 00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:33,120 actually the funny thing because it's uh 700 00:26:37,850 --> 00:26:35,520 it's it's kind of a small uh sighting 701 00:26:39,289 --> 00:26:37,860 it's maybe insignificant but it really 702 00:26:40,730 --> 00:26:39,299 triggered me into wondering what's 703 00:26:42,769 --> 00:26:40,740 sometimes happening in this in the sky 704 00:26:45,169 --> 00:26:42,779 and maybe uh even though it was 705 00:26:48,230 --> 00:26:45,179 absolutely insignificant uh it triggered 706 00:26:49,909 --> 00:26:48,240 my uh um my reflex nowadays to write 707 00:26:51,710 --> 00:26:49,919 down all the details what I see and 708 00:26:55,669 --> 00:26:51,720 where it was in the date where it was 709 00:26:57,169 --> 00:26:55,679 Etc and also to proactively just ask uh 710 00:27:00,289 --> 00:26:57,179 um Air Traffic Control if there's any 711 00:27:01,610 --> 00:27:00,299 any whatever military activity all the 712 00:27:03,289 --> 00:27:01,620 traffic around so 713 00:27:04,909 --> 00:27:03,299 it's the first one I know it's kind of 714 00:27:06,590 --> 00:27:04,919 underwhelming but uh oh yeah I 715 00:27:08,750 --> 00:27:06,600 personally think it is I think it's 716 00:27:11,210 --> 00:27:08,760 fantastic just a comment here that says 717 00:27:13,310 --> 00:27:11,220 was it over land or sea uh this was 718 00:27:15,289 --> 00:27:13,320 Southern Germany's Overland it was 719 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,299 around the position of the city of 720 00:27:20,330 --> 00:27:17,520 Nuremberg which is which is very far 721 00:27:22,430 --> 00:27:20,340 from any lakes any mountains any any 722 00:27:24,350 --> 00:27:22,440 anything it was just absolutely nothing 723 00:27:26,450 --> 00:27:24,360 around and with this 50 we were 724 00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:26,460 flying relatively low uh far below 725 00:27:30,409 --> 00:27:28,320 regular air traffic so we just as I said 726 00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:30,419 flying in between two air layers and 727 00:27:33,769 --> 00:27:31,679 there was a light just falling 728 00:27:36,289 --> 00:27:33,779 vertically down just bizarre really 729 00:27:37,750 --> 00:27:36,299 strange absolutely that's really really 730 00:27:40,070 --> 00:27:37,760 intriguing 731 00:27:40,970 --> 00:27:40,080 uh let's move on to the next one shall 732 00:27:44,149 --> 00:27:40,980 we 733 00:27:46,970 --> 00:27:44,159 um yeah I'll let you say the name and 734 00:27:50,029 --> 00:27:46,980 the date and things like that yeah 735 00:27:53,090 --> 00:27:50,039 um this was September 2005. 736 00:27:55,850 --> 00:27:53,100 um it was either 28 29th or 30th it was 737 00:27:57,830 --> 00:27:55,860 a really erratic and fast moving light 738 00:27:59,930 --> 00:27:57,840 in the sky 739 00:28:01,610 --> 00:27:59,940 um it happened so fast we weren't able 740 00:28:04,010 --> 00:28:01,620 to take any pictures but what happened 741 00:28:06,409 --> 00:28:04,020 we were flying with this 4K 50 we're 742 00:28:08,510 --> 00:28:06,419 flying for uh Olympic Airways for this 743 00:28:10,610 --> 00:28:08,520 Greek Airline we're flying a lot of 744 00:28:13,370 --> 00:28:10,620 island hopping out of Athens we flew to 745 00:28:16,010 --> 00:28:13,380 all these small islands and we had a 746 00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:16,020 evening and a night flight so we were 747 00:28:20,570 --> 00:28:17,760 flying to two or three islands I think 748 00:28:22,370 --> 00:28:20,580 including the islands of Mykonos or it 749 00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:22,380 must have been one of those islands 750 00:28:26,390 --> 00:28:24,960 and we just landed on the runway and 751 00:28:27,850 --> 00:28:26,400 since it's a small airport we had to 752 00:28:30,710 --> 00:28:27,860 make a 180 753 00:28:33,529 --> 00:28:30,720 Backtrack on the runway so that means we 754 00:28:35,750 --> 00:28:33,539 basically make a one decree sorry a turn 755 00:28:37,970 --> 00:28:35,760 of 180 degrees on the runway and the 756 00:28:39,409 --> 00:28:37,980 moment we started turning the 4K 50 had 757 00:28:42,350 --> 00:28:39,419 really big windows 758 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:42,360 my both of my colleague and I we saw a 759 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:44,880 really bright light just uh 760 00:28:49,310 --> 00:28:47,520 basically uh as bright as a bright 761 00:28:51,950 --> 00:28:49,320 Planet like like Mars or Jupiter you 762 00:28:54,830 --> 00:28:51,960 sometimes see in the sky it appeared it 763 00:28:57,110 --> 00:28:54,840 moved it disappeared it reappeared 764 00:28:58,970 --> 00:28:57,120 yeah it's difficult to to to to to to 765 00:29:01,250 --> 00:28:58,980 tell you how far but it was like the 766 00:29:03,549 --> 00:29:01,260 width of the uh of a full moon it's 767 00:29:05,990 --> 00:29:03,559 reappeared again moved disappeared 768 00:29:08,210 --> 00:29:06,000 reappears and all of a sudden it was 769 00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:08,220 stationary for maybe half a second one 770 00:29:12,830 --> 00:29:11,159 second and it's shot away just like 771 00:29:15,049 --> 00:29:12,840 instant acceleration it was not even 772 00:29:17,090 --> 00:29:15,059 accelerating it was like instant speed 773 00:29:20,389 --> 00:29:17,100 and it was like a shooting star but in 774 00:29:23,450 --> 00:29:20,399 Reverse it was just going in insane 775 00:29:25,970 --> 00:29:23,460 speeds I've never seen anything like 776 00:29:29,269 --> 00:29:25,980 this and this is also one of the things 777 00:29:32,510 --> 00:29:29,279 that um uh Commander David Draper is 778 00:29:35,330 --> 00:29:32,520 talking about and and Louis Elizondo uh 779 00:29:37,610 --> 00:29:35,340 and this really uh I have no clue what 780 00:29:40,010 --> 00:29:37,620 it was because with my background as a 781 00:29:42,470 --> 00:29:40,020 pilot and a little bit of uh 782 00:29:45,769 --> 00:29:42,480 Aeronautical Engineering 783 00:29:47,330 --> 00:29:45,779 um I try to to evaluate a distance this 784 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:47,340 this object or the light was actually 785 00:29:51,889 --> 00:29:50,399 from from us uh but it's impossible to 786 00:29:54,049 --> 00:29:51,899 say because I mean it was just a bright 787 00:29:56,510 --> 00:29:54,059 light so you have no Dimensions no no no 788 00:29:58,909 --> 00:29:56,520 no no Parallax to compare it with but 789 00:30:00,590 --> 00:29:58,919 let's say if it was at a normal uh 790 00:30:02,750 --> 00:30:00,600 altitude of a normal airliner let's say 791 00:30:04,970 --> 00:30:02,760 30 000 feet 792 00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:04,980 um it must have accelerated away with 793 00:30:10,310 --> 00:30:07,440 the speed of in excess Mark 20 Mark 30 794 00:30:12,830 --> 00:30:10,320 so that's about 20 20 30 times as as 795 00:30:15,049 --> 00:30:12,840 fast as a normal airliner uh 20 times 796 00:30:16,730 --> 00:30:15,059 the speed of sounds and maybe that's 797 00:30:18,889 --> 00:30:16,740 even a low estimate 798 00:30:20,690 --> 00:30:18,899 um if it was even higher because it's 799 00:30:23,029 --> 00:30:20,700 it's it it's impossible to judge how 800 00:30:27,070 --> 00:30:23,039 wide was but if it was really high like 801 00:30:30,590 --> 00:30:27,080 uh um low earth orbits it must have been 802 00:30:32,630 --> 00:30:30,600 insane absolutely insane and this is the 803 00:30:34,730 --> 00:30:32,640 type of characteristic characteristics 804 00:30:37,130 --> 00:30:34,740 that is being discussed quite often by 805 00:30:40,430 --> 00:30:37,140 those military Pilots as well 806 00:30:42,169 --> 00:30:40,440 um and this was this was uh strange the 807 00:30:44,810 --> 00:30:42,179 funny thing was that same evening we 808 00:30:47,330 --> 00:30:44,820 basically concluded uh that it it must 809 00:30:49,730 --> 00:30:47,340 have been something military because the 810 00:30:52,070 --> 00:30:49,740 um the carrier strike group the USS 811 00:30:54,590 --> 00:30:52,080 Theodore Roosevelt I think it was it was 812 00:30:57,110 --> 00:30:54,600 a nuclear uh aircraft carrier with all 813 00:30:59,690 --> 00:30:57,120 the support ships was just passing by 814 00:31:02,510 --> 00:30:59,700 just south of Greece uh just on its way 815 00:31:05,090 --> 00:31:02,520 to the Persian Gulf and uh we just 816 00:31:07,850 --> 00:31:05,100 thought you know it's probably like some 817 00:31:11,630 --> 00:31:07,860 fancy military equipment or a missile or 818 00:31:13,250 --> 00:31:11,640 or something like that and only later I 819 00:31:16,130 --> 00:31:13,260 heard that this is also thanks to miss 820 00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:16,140 Elizondo and and other people that came 821 00:31:19,190 --> 00:31:17,580 forward 822 00:31:22,430 --> 00:31:19,200 um that many of those 823 00:31:24,710 --> 00:31:22,440 lights are being seen near nuclear 824 00:31:25,930 --> 00:31:24,720 insulations both nuclear power plants 825 00:31:28,490 --> 00:31:25,940 but also 826 00:31:30,409 --> 00:31:28,500 nuclear Naval vessels but even the I 827 00:31:34,549 --> 00:31:30,419 think it was the USS Princeton this is 828 00:31:36,769 --> 00:31:34,559 uh quite a cruise missile uh um uh 829 00:31:38,690 --> 00:31:36,779 Cruiser I think it was 830 00:31:41,029 --> 00:31:38,700 um so there's a lot of strange activity 831 00:31:43,970 --> 00:31:41,039 going going on around Navy ships and 832 00:31:45,710 --> 00:31:43,980 nuclear installations and that actually 833 00:31:48,590 --> 00:31:45,720 in retrospect makes me wonder what we 834 00:31:49,909 --> 00:31:48,600 saw there and uh purely mechanical 835 00:31:52,070 --> 00:31:49,919 perspective 836 00:31:55,010 --> 00:31:52,080 I cannot explain what it was because the 837 00:31:56,389 --> 00:31:55,020 acceleration was instantaneous and by 838 00:31:58,310 --> 00:31:56,399 the way when it was appearing 839 00:31:59,810 --> 00:31:58,320 reappearing disappearing reappearing and 840 00:32:01,549 --> 00:31:59,820 shooting away it was still in one 841 00:32:04,010 --> 00:32:01,559 continuous light so it was following the 842 00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:04,020 same trajectory 843 00:32:06,649 --> 00:32:06,000 um but it seemed to be 844 00:32:09,649 --> 00:32:06,659 um 845 00:32:11,870 --> 00:32:09,659 very unnatural let's say what color was 846 00:32:13,909 --> 00:32:11,880 it the light just just pure white just 847 00:32:16,789 --> 00:32:13,919 pure right yeah and it was like yeah 848 00:32:19,490 --> 00:32:16,799 yeah no carry on carry on yeah it was 849 00:32:21,830 --> 00:32:19,500 like the the size of a of a small planet 850 00:32:23,510 --> 00:32:21,840 uh like we see normally in the in the 851 00:32:26,029 --> 00:32:23,520 sky but the behavior was was 852 00:32:27,409 --> 00:32:26,039 inexplicable 853 00:32:29,630 --> 00:32:27,419 yeah and it's funny you mentioned the 854 00:32:31,549 --> 00:32:29,640 USS Theodore Roosevelt that was the ship 855 00:32:35,149 --> 00:32:31,559 that was involved in the the sightings 856 00:32:36,950 --> 00:32:35,159 off of the east coast in 2015. oh that's 857 00:32:38,750 --> 00:32:36,960 very funny it'd be very easy to kind of 858 00:32:40,730 --> 00:32:38,760 make those connections that you know 859 00:32:43,370 --> 00:32:40,740 could be purely coincidental but very 860 00:32:45,230 --> 00:32:43,380 interesting point indeed so all right I 861 00:32:48,110 --> 00:32:45,240 didn't realize that because uh the 862 00:32:49,909 --> 00:32:48,120 reason why we why we knew it it was in 863 00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:49,919 the uh the flight preparation we we 864 00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:51,480 looked through the no temps which stands 865 00:32:55,130 --> 00:32:53,399 for notice to all Airmen which is 866 00:32:57,590 --> 00:32:55,140 basically a briefing package which says 867 00:32:59,630 --> 00:32:57,600 uh you know this and this Beacon is is 868 00:33:01,909 --> 00:32:59,640 out of service this part of the airspace 869 00:33:03,529 --> 00:33:01,919 is closed uh be careful there's a 870 00:33:08,690 --> 00:33:03,539 there's a 871 00:33:10,370 --> 00:33:08,700 built there but it also includes uh the 872 00:33:12,350 --> 00:33:10,380 closure of airspace as there's military 873 00:33:13,970 --> 00:33:12,360 activity and in this case 874 00:33:15,529 --> 00:33:13,980 um that was indicated black and white 875 00:33:17,149 --> 00:33:15,539 that the that this carrier group was 876 00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:17,159 passing by and that there was a whole 877 00:33:21,649 --> 00:33:18,840 block of airspace basically closed for 878 00:33:24,950 --> 00:33:21,659 civilian air airplanes as this task 879 00:33:26,810 --> 00:33:24,960 group was was uh that was going by so 880 00:33:28,909 --> 00:33:26,820 that's how we knew there was a some 881 00:33:31,610 --> 00:33:28,919 military activity going on but I never 882 00:33:34,850 --> 00:33:31,620 linked it to any sort of UAP or or it 883 00:33:36,710 --> 00:33:34,860 just struck me and I was really 884 00:33:38,810 --> 00:33:36,720 wondering you know if this is the kind 885 00:33:40,009 --> 00:33:38,820 of jets that these guys are flying they 886 00:33:42,289 --> 00:33:40,019 should make a new kind of Top Gun 887 00:33:44,810 --> 00:33:42,299 because it's like this is real this 888 00:33:46,669 --> 00:33:44,820 is this is really cool but 889 00:33:48,169 --> 00:33:46,679 um yeah I don't I don't know what to 890 00:33:50,450 --> 00:33:48,179 think about it but it was really really 891 00:33:52,610 --> 00:33:50,460 mind-blowing and uh I'm still I'm still 892 00:33:55,190 --> 00:33:52,620 hoping to get a Pros Eric explanation 893 00:33:57,710 --> 00:33:55,200 for it because uh you know it was 894 00:33:59,990 --> 00:33:57,720 clearly not natural there there's no way 895 00:34:01,430 --> 00:34:00,000 a natural object can can accelerate like 896 00:34:03,950 --> 00:34:01,440 that 897 00:34:06,350 --> 00:34:03,960 um and no matter no matter what it is 898 00:34:09,050 --> 00:34:06,360 the the implications 899 00:34:10,669 --> 00:34:09,060 uh are insane if this is man-made 900 00:34:13,669 --> 00:34:10,679 technology if this is a black project 901 00:34:16,310 --> 00:34:13,679 Rockets or a spaceship or even a drone 902 00:34:18,710 --> 00:34:16,320 wow this is this is groundbreaking 903 00:34:22,790 --> 00:34:18,720 technology this would this would rewrite 904 00:34:25,010 --> 00:34:22,800 the uh the loss of of aerodynamics 905 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:25,020 um that will be really cool and maybe 906 00:34:28,250 --> 00:34:26,639 it's something else I don't know but I 907 00:34:30,470 --> 00:34:28,260 just want to know what I want to know 908 00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:30,480 what it is it's because it's it's really 909 00:34:35,030 --> 00:34:33,119 from from a pilot's perspective it's 910 00:34:38,990 --> 00:34:35,040 just uh nice to see 911 00:34:40,909 --> 00:34:39,000 yeah fascinating cases again 912 00:34:42,290 --> 00:34:40,919 um so yeah let's move on to the third 913 00:34:46,070 --> 00:34:42,300 anomalous case that we're going to talk 914 00:34:49,669 --> 00:34:46,080 about which is another falling like case 915 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:49,679 yeah uh yeah that was right February 28 916 00:34:52,070 --> 00:34:51,010 2009. 917 00:34:53,869 --> 00:34:52,080 [Music] 918 00:34:55,790 --> 00:34:53,879 um this is also interesting because it's 919 00:34:58,070 --> 00:34:55,800 it's it greatly resembles the first 920 00:35:02,450 --> 00:34:58,080 falling light I've seen this case I was 921 00:35:04,970 --> 00:35:02,460 flying with the 737 boom 737 from um I 922 00:35:07,190 --> 00:35:04,980 think it was Crete back to Amsterdam and 923 00:35:10,370 --> 00:35:07,200 it was a daylight flight Cafe weather 924 00:35:13,310 --> 00:35:10,380 it's like no clouds visibility was 925 00:35:14,810 --> 00:35:13,320 almost unlimited and we were following 926 00:35:17,030 --> 00:35:14,820 the Greek 927 00:35:20,569 --> 00:35:17,040 um Albanian Coastline and we were just 928 00:35:22,069 --> 00:35:20,579 flying towards the north north west and 929 00:35:23,630 --> 00:35:22,079 we were just chatting just like actually 930 00:35:26,089 --> 00:35:23,640 the first time with the falling lights 931 00:35:28,730 --> 00:35:26,099 and I was looking towards my uh my 932 00:35:30,410 --> 00:35:28,740 captain and so basically I was I had the 933 00:35:33,710 --> 00:35:30,420 wind windshield on the on the left-hand 934 00:35:37,069 --> 00:35:33,720 side in full View and both of us we saw 935 00:35:40,609 --> 00:35:37,079 almost a similar uh bright white lights 936 00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:40,619 falling with almost the same speeds 937 00:35:44,569 --> 00:35:42,480 um straight down and it disappeared in 938 00:35:46,970 --> 00:35:44,579 the Adriatic Sea and if I have to 939 00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:46,980 estimate the location it must have been 940 00:35:53,990 --> 00:35:49,740 um just over the border between Albania 941 00:35:56,270 --> 00:35:54,000 and Greece uh on the Albanian sites or 942 00:35:58,550 --> 00:35:56,280 let's say 15 or 20 kilometers from the 943 00:36:01,069 --> 00:35:58,560 coastline into the water and it just 944 00:36:04,670 --> 00:36:01,079 disappeared into the water I didn't see 945 00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:04,680 any any Splash or of Flesh doesn't say 946 00:36:08,450 --> 00:36:06,000 anything because we're actually flying 947 00:36:11,510 --> 00:36:08,460 so high I mean we're talking about 38 948 00:36:14,210 --> 00:36:11,520 000 feet so it's almost impossible to uh 949 00:36:17,089 --> 00:36:14,220 to to see any details uh on the surface 950 00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:17,099 of the ocean but it was falling rapidly 951 00:36:21,470 --> 00:36:19,800 and if I have to estimate the vertical 952 00:36:24,410 --> 00:36:21,480 speeds 953 00:36:25,849 --> 00:36:24,420 I think it's a drop down from our 954 00:36:27,410 --> 00:36:25,859 altitudes because that's actually the 955 00:36:31,010 --> 00:36:27,420 moment we saw it when it was passing 956 00:36:34,069 --> 00:36:31,020 below the the window frame an interview 957 00:36:36,050 --> 00:36:34,079 um two seconds from 30 000 feet to to 958 00:36:37,849 --> 00:36:36,060 sea level roughly that's that's that's 959 00:36:40,430 --> 00:36:37,859 that's more or less so that's an insane 960 00:36:42,470 --> 00:36:40,440 speed and um 961 00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:42,480 um in this case I immediately asked the 962 00:36:46,609 --> 00:36:44,160 air traffic controller which was a Greek 963 00:36:48,170 --> 00:36:46,619 uh guy we were still talking to if there 964 00:36:50,810 --> 00:36:48,180 was any military activity in the 965 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:50,820 Adriatic Sea or the airspace ahead of us 966 00:36:54,410 --> 00:36:52,320 um the first of all because I thought 967 00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:54,420 maybe maybe we overlooked some really 968 00:36:58,910 --> 00:36:57,060 important notes or air space closure and 969 00:37:01,430 --> 00:36:58,920 that's kind of embarrassing if you if 970 00:37:04,250 --> 00:37:01,440 you fly into closed airspace as a as a 971 00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:04,260 commercial pilot uh but no he was he was 972 00:37:08,510 --> 00:37:05,760 almost kind of agitated he said no no no 973 00:37:09,710 --> 00:37:08,520 activity just contacts uh whatever this 974 00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:09,720 next guy 975 00:37:13,550 --> 00:37:11,760 and we contacted the Albanian air 976 00:37:15,410 --> 00:37:13,560 traffic controller 977 00:37:19,010 --> 00:37:15,420 um he just created US Direct to a normal 978 00:37:20,450 --> 00:37:19,020 route and uh which was kind of normal I 979 00:37:22,010 --> 00:37:20,460 immediately asked him as well if there 980 00:37:23,270 --> 00:37:22,020 was any military activity and he was 981 00:37:25,250 --> 00:37:23,280 really surprised he said no there's 982 00:37:28,010 --> 00:37:25,260 there's no no traffic no activity no 983 00:37:30,170 --> 00:37:28,020 nothing whatsoever happening uh to the 984 00:37:32,329 --> 00:37:30,180 North or to the west of you so that 985 00:37:36,849 --> 00:37:32,339 showed to me that it was at least no 986 00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:36,859 commercial traffic which has kind of a 987 00:37:42,410 --> 00:37:39,000 which would have been kind of strange if 988 00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:42,420 if it was a falling commercial object 989 00:37:46,910 --> 00:37:44,640 um but I've got no clue what it what it 990 00:37:48,950 --> 00:37:46,920 was it was really strange and if it was 991 00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:48,960 a meteor I've seen millions of meteors 992 00:37:52,970 --> 00:37:51,000 and shooting stars 993 00:37:54,410 --> 00:37:52,980 um first of all they burn up high in the 994 00:37:56,450 --> 00:37:54,420 atmosphere and if they make it down 995 00:37:58,130 --> 00:37:56,460 towards the Earth uh they never fall 996 00:38:00,950 --> 00:37:58,140 down in a vertical path they always go 997 00:38:02,990 --> 00:38:00,960 down in a shallow path uh it was also 998 00:38:05,930 --> 00:38:03,000 white light bright white so it was not 999 00:38:08,089 --> 00:38:05,940 like a burning uh rock or it's just 1000 00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:08,099 something something very hot it was pure 1001 00:38:12,530 --> 00:38:10,320 white light and it just fell down and it 1002 00:38:15,230 --> 00:38:12,540 disappeared and at the end of the under 1003 00:38:17,930 --> 00:38:15,240 the ocean it went straight in yeah yeah 1004 00:38:20,450 --> 00:38:17,940 yeah at least this was this was my uh 1005 00:38:24,170 --> 00:38:20,460 perception sure right okay I guess you 1006 00:38:26,750 --> 00:38:24,180 can't save for certain but wow 1007 00:38:28,250 --> 00:38:26,760 yeah baffles yeah you put yourself I 1008 00:38:30,050 --> 00:38:28,260 mean I put myself in that in that 1009 00:38:32,750 --> 00:38:30,060 situation and you just 1010 00:38:35,210 --> 00:38:32,760 yeah that's that's something else yeah 1011 00:38:37,190 --> 00:38:35,220 and also um I think it's it's important 1012 00:38:38,930 --> 00:38:37,200 to note and this this is not only 1013 00:38:42,109 --> 00:38:38,940 applicable to this falling light but 1014 00:38:44,150 --> 00:38:42,119 basically for me as a as a pilot as a 1015 00:38:45,290 --> 00:38:44,160 train Observer 1016 00:38:46,910 --> 00:38:45,300 um 1017 00:38:49,190 --> 00:38:46,920 first of all 1018 00:38:51,530 --> 00:38:49,200 um I'm I'm only concerned about the 1019 00:38:53,750 --> 00:38:51,540 safety of my flight and passengers or 1020 00:38:57,770 --> 00:38:53,760 the the cargo we carry 1021 00:38:59,030 --> 00:38:57,780 um and the very last thing on my mind is 1022 00:39:01,210 --> 00:38:59,040 um wondering if this is something 1023 00:39:03,349 --> 00:39:01,220 anomalous or a UAP or something 1024 00:39:05,690 --> 00:39:03,359 interesting the only thing I'm 1025 00:39:07,730 --> 00:39:05,700 interested in is does it affect my 1026 00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:07,740 flight path does it affect my airplane 1027 00:39:12,109 --> 00:39:10,140 is it something weather related that we 1028 00:39:14,030 --> 00:39:12,119 have to avoid 1029 00:39:16,430 --> 00:39:14,040 um is it some other traffic maybe that 1030 00:39:18,109 --> 00:39:16,440 we that we have to keep in mind 1031 00:39:19,849 --> 00:39:18,119 um so that's the way I'm always looking 1032 00:39:21,770 --> 00:39:19,859 out of my window that's the way I 1033 00:39:23,870 --> 00:39:21,780 interpret my instruments and I'm flying 1034 00:39:26,030 --> 00:39:23,880 my airplane and I think this is very 1035 00:39:27,589 --> 00:39:26,040 important for people to remember that uh 1036 00:39:29,150 --> 00:39:27,599 because I guess a lot of people will 1037 00:39:30,530 --> 00:39:29,160 start complaining so oh he doesn't have 1038 00:39:33,170 --> 00:39:30,540 any pictures it's only anecdotal 1039 00:39:35,270 --> 00:39:33,180 evidence or any not even evidence it's 1040 00:39:37,250 --> 00:39:35,280 just an anecdotes so yeah 1041 00:39:39,170 --> 00:39:37,260 but I'm there to fly the airplane I'm 1042 00:39:41,810 --> 00:39:39,180 I'm sitting in the cockpits I'm being 1043 00:39:44,329 --> 00:39:41,820 paid to fly the airplane as safe as 1044 00:39:45,410 --> 00:39:44,339 possible so the last thing on my mind is 1045 00:39:47,150 --> 00:39:45,420 is 1046 00:39:49,030 --> 00:39:47,160 um uh taking pictures when there's 1047 00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:49,040 something going on because I have to 1048 00:39:55,730 --> 00:39:53,760 have to be uh in my role as a pilot so 1049 00:39:57,170 --> 00:39:55,740 um it's also very good to keep in mind 1050 00:39:59,089 --> 00:39:57,180 that every time I see something like 1051 00:40:00,530 --> 00:39:59,099 that I'm not instantly jumping to 1052 00:40:03,410 --> 00:40:00,540 conclusions like wow this must be 1053 00:40:07,450 --> 00:40:03,420 interesting or this must be uh 1054 00:40:10,150 --> 00:40:07,460 an alien from a certain what's it called 1055 00:40:13,250 --> 00:40:10,160 yeah that one 1056 00:40:15,230 --> 00:40:13,260 no pretty far from it and actually I I 1057 00:40:19,310 --> 00:40:15,240 doubt if if any of these things are 1058 00:40:20,089 --> 00:40:19,320 relatable to to aliens but 1059 00:40:22,310 --> 00:40:20,099 um 1060 00:40:24,170 --> 00:40:22,320 yeah so I just I I just want to have it 1061 00:40:25,970 --> 00:40:24,180 cleared up that for me as a pilot and 1062 00:40:28,430 --> 00:40:25,980 this applies to to all the pilots both 1063 00:40:30,950 --> 00:40:28,440 military and commercially we're there 1064 00:40:32,750 --> 00:40:30,960 um with a mission uh either or it's it's 1065 00:40:35,510 --> 00:40:32,760 either a military Mission or are we 1066 00:40:37,130 --> 00:40:35,520 there to operate the flights so um just 1067 00:40:39,349 --> 00:40:37,140 to take away any doubts for people and 1068 00:40:41,510 --> 00:40:39,359 think that I'm jumping to conclusions 1069 00:40:42,650 --> 00:40:41,520 here or there yeah and I'd just like to 1070 00:40:44,329 --> 00:40:42,660 say as well we're now going to start 1071 00:40:46,730 --> 00:40:44,339 looking at some sightings which you have 1072 00:40:48,170 --> 00:40:46,740 captured images of but I mean one thing 1073 00:40:50,510 --> 00:40:48,180 I'll say about the first three is it 1074 00:40:51,950 --> 00:40:50,520 sounds like even if you were to want to 1075 00:40:54,230 --> 00:40:51,960 take a photograph of those things it 1076 00:40:56,390 --> 00:40:54,240 happened almost in an instant or over a 1077 00:40:57,890 --> 00:40:56,400 couple of seconds even if you've done 1078 00:40:59,210 --> 00:40:57,900 what you needed to do in the cockpit am 1079 00:41:00,710 --> 00:40:59,220 I writing saying by the time you got 1080 00:41:03,650 --> 00:41:00,720 your camera it would have just been no 1081 00:41:05,810 --> 00:41:03,660 point anyway yeah and it also uh makes 1082 00:41:08,210 --> 00:41:05,820 me wonder how much I missed because I'm 1083 00:41:10,609 --> 00:41:08,220 flying now for 20 years and 1084 00:41:12,950 --> 00:41:10,619 um for anyone who's ever visited a 1085 00:41:14,450 --> 00:41:12,960 cockpit of an airliner uh the windows 1086 00:41:15,530 --> 00:41:14,460 are actually kind of small and we're 1087 00:41:17,030 --> 00:41:15,540 sitting there 1088 00:41:18,349 --> 00:41:17,040 um most of the time we're looking inside 1089 00:41:20,329 --> 00:41:18,359 because we're literally flying on 1090 00:41:22,310 --> 00:41:20,339 instruments either we're talking with 1091 00:41:23,690 --> 00:41:22,320 each other we're doing the the radio and 1092 00:41:26,030 --> 00:41:23,700 the time I'm actually looking outside 1093 00:41:28,130 --> 00:41:26,040 through these relatively small windows 1094 00:41:29,870 --> 00:41:28,140 it's kind of limited so sometimes I'm 1095 00:41:32,270 --> 00:41:29,880 wondering you know maybe I've I've 1096 00:41:34,490 --> 00:41:32,280 missed the most spectacular phenomena 1097 00:41:36,109 --> 00:41:34,500 outside and I've never even noticed it 1098 00:41:39,230 --> 00:41:36,119 so these are just the handful of things 1099 00:41:41,210 --> 00:41:39,240 that I've seen and and uh yeah I can 1100 00:41:42,770 --> 00:41:41,220 testify that that I cannot out and kind 1101 00:41:45,890 --> 00:41:42,780 of explain what I've what I've seen so 1102 00:41:47,630 --> 00:41:45,900 far yeah now the first case that we're 1103 00:41:49,550 --> 00:41:47,640 going to look at here that you you know 1104 00:41:50,990 --> 00:41:49,560 is certainly very strange but you have 1105 00:41:52,849 --> 00:41:51,000 figured it out in the end I think is the 1106 00:41:54,050 --> 00:41:52,859 red lights over the Pacific is is this 1107 00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:54,060 the one you mentioned earlier that kind 1108 00:41:57,470 --> 00:41:55,740 of went viral and appeared in the news 1109 00:41:59,030 --> 00:41:57,480 so yeah if you want to talk us through 1110 00:42:01,490 --> 00:41:59,040 this one that's going to be interesting 1111 00:42:03,829 --> 00:42:01,500 yeah yeah uh just just feel free to show 1112 00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:03,839 the pictures as we as we discuss it 1113 00:42:08,950 --> 00:42:06,300 um this was in the night of 24 and 25 1114 00:42:10,849 --> 00:42:08,960 25th of August 1115 00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:10,859 2014 1116 00:42:15,829 --> 00:42:13,500 um I was flying an airplane from Hong 1117 00:42:17,930 --> 00:42:15,839 Kong to Anchorage we were flying over 1118 00:42:20,030 --> 00:42:17,940 the Pacific Ocean for about nine and a 1119 00:42:21,650 --> 00:42:20,040 half ten hours straight 1120 00:42:23,450 --> 00:42:21,660 um the very nights 1121 00:42:25,370 --> 00:42:23,460 um we had a briefing package both for 1122 00:42:27,589 --> 00:42:25,380 the weather and the no temps uh there 1123 00:42:29,030 --> 00:42:27,599 was some military activity going on I 1124 00:42:31,430 --> 00:42:29,040 think the Americans were testing a 1125 00:42:34,210 --> 00:42:31,440 Hypersonic missile out of the Lutheran 1126 00:42:36,770 --> 00:42:34,220 Islands Southern Alaska 1127 00:42:39,829 --> 00:42:36,780 and there were a lot of 1128 00:42:41,270 --> 00:42:39,839 um erupting volcanoes that flights they 1129 00:42:43,370 --> 00:42:41,280 were erupting basically around the 1130 00:42:45,470 --> 00:42:43,380 so-called Ring of Fire the Pacific ring 1131 00:42:49,630 --> 00:42:45,480 of fire so there were volcanoes erupting 1132 00:42:52,970 --> 00:42:49,640 in southern Japan in Indonesia Alaska 1133 00:42:54,170 --> 00:42:52,980 North America well at least we had there 1134 00:42:56,030 --> 00:42:54,180 were a couple of earthquakes in North 1135 00:42:57,950 --> 00:42:56,040 America there were volcanoes erupting in 1136 00:43:00,790 --> 00:42:57,960 South America 1137 00:43:03,349 --> 00:43:00,800 um so we were pretty 1138 00:43:04,790 --> 00:43:03,359 well informed about possible ash clouds 1139 00:43:07,670 --> 00:43:04,800 and all the stuff that that we might 1140 00:43:10,849 --> 00:43:07,680 encounter as Pilots there most of these 1141 00:43:13,309 --> 00:43:10,859 uh stems as they are called or the the 1142 00:43:15,230 --> 00:43:13,319 warnings about volcanic activity it 1143 00:43:17,450 --> 00:43:15,240 comes from satellite data or Pilot 1144 00:43:19,490 --> 00:43:17,460 reports so if if I sometimes see 1145 00:43:21,410 --> 00:43:19,500 something anomalous like a volcano 1146 00:43:22,790 --> 00:43:21,420 exploding or erupting we have to report 1147 00:43:25,670 --> 00:43:22,800 it because sometimes we just the first 1148 00:43:27,349 --> 00:43:25,680 one so the only ones who see it so we 1149 00:43:29,569 --> 00:43:27,359 were really on the lookout for anything 1150 00:43:30,950 --> 00:43:29,579 that that might endanger our flight like 1151 00:43:34,069 --> 00:43:30,960 flying in a Nash Cloud which is 1152 00:43:34,609 --> 00:43:34,079 basically uh very dangerous 1153 00:43:37,010 --> 00:43:34,619 um 1154 00:43:38,569 --> 00:43:37,020 all of a sudden uh we were I think about 1155 00:43:41,510 --> 00:43:38,579 three hours in Flight we were flying 1156 00:43:43,430 --> 00:43:41,520 north of Japan just uh far east of 1157 00:43:45,710 --> 00:43:43,440 Kamchatka 1158 00:43:47,150 --> 00:43:45,720 um we we didn't all the lights and this 1159 00:43:48,650 --> 00:43:47,160 was typical one of those evenings that 1160 00:43:52,390 --> 00:43:48,660 we were talking about the universe and 1161 00:43:56,030 --> 00:43:52,400 life and you name it cars 1162 00:43:57,710 --> 00:43:56,040 and I just had my meal in the oven and I 1163 00:44:00,109 --> 00:43:57,720 was waiting for it to finish and we were 1164 00:44:02,870 --> 00:44:00,119 just looking out for the stars and all 1165 00:44:05,630 --> 00:44:02,880 of a sudden on the horizon we saw a very 1166 00:44:08,390 --> 00:44:05,640 bright flash of Lights which is 1167 00:44:11,450 --> 00:44:08,400 um which really surprised us because we 1168 00:44:12,950 --> 00:44:11,460 we had no clue where it uh where it came 1169 00:44:15,290 --> 00:44:12,960 from yeah this was basically the view as 1170 00:44:17,450 --> 00:44:15,300 we as we saw with the naked eye and 1171 00:44:18,770 --> 00:44:17,460 around the area of the red lights in the 1172 00:44:20,809 --> 00:44:18,780 far distance there was this really 1173 00:44:23,030 --> 00:44:20,819 really bright flash of lights but there 1174 00:44:24,230 --> 00:44:23,040 were no thunderstorms reported uh there 1175 00:44:26,510 --> 00:44:24,240 were no thunderstorms on our weather 1176 00:44:29,089 --> 00:44:26,520 radar Etc and it really triggered our 1177 00:44:31,010 --> 00:44:29,099 imagination uh wondering what it was and 1178 00:44:33,290 --> 00:44:31,020 about half an hour later or maybe maybe 1179 00:44:36,050 --> 00:44:33,300 10 hours until 10 minutes later we saw 1180 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:36,060 this um glow on the horizon appearing 1181 00:44:39,290 --> 00:44:38,400 and these red lights basically started 1182 00:44:42,410 --> 00:44:39,300 to 1183 00:44:44,030 --> 00:44:42,420 show up as we came closer it was pure 1184 00:44:45,470 --> 00:44:44,040 coincidence that they were just below 1185 00:44:48,170 --> 00:44:45,480 our flight path so we basically 1186 00:44:51,530 --> 00:44:48,180 approached them add-on we flew over it 1187 00:44:53,030 --> 00:44:51,540 and uh I have I still have no clue if 1188 00:44:54,349 --> 00:44:53,040 it's connected to the bright flash of 1189 00:44:57,170 --> 00:44:54,359 light maybe it's it's probably 1190 00:44:58,910 --> 00:44:57,180 completely unrelated uh but we were 1191 00:45:00,410 --> 00:44:58,920 baffled and we had no clue what was 1192 00:45:04,069 --> 00:45:00,420 going on 1193 00:45:06,230 --> 00:45:04,079 um flying there and keep in mind we we 1194 00:45:08,390 --> 00:45:06,240 were on the on the lookout for uh 1195 00:45:10,970 --> 00:45:08,400 volcanoes and ash clouds and you name it 1196 00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:10,980 uh we were really spooked when we saw 1197 00:45:14,569 --> 00:45:12,720 this because our first reaction was 1198 00:45:18,589 --> 00:45:14,579 there's like a 1199 00:45:21,410 --> 00:45:18,599 magnetic uh undersea eruption or there's 1200 00:45:22,730 --> 00:45:21,420 some volcano uh blowing of steam or 1201 00:45:25,730 --> 00:45:22,740 something is happening there that might 1202 00:45:28,069 --> 00:45:25,740 endanger our airplane uh but as we as we 1203 00:45:29,270 --> 00:45:28,079 came closer we saw that these lights uh 1204 00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:29,280 these individual lights they were 1205 00:45:32,690 --> 00:45:31,140 completely steady they were not burning 1206 00:45:34,010 --> 00:45:32,700 they were not not flickering like you 1207 00:45:36,470 --> 00:45:34,020 would see with the forest fires 1208 00:45:38,510 --> 00:45:36,480 sometimes and they even had green and 1209 00:45:40,430 --> 00:45:38,520 white lights 1210 00:45:42,710 --> 00:45:40,440 um and that was really strange but still 1211 00:45:44,030 --> 00:45:42,720 uh our our hearts were beating in our 1212 00:45:45,829 --> 00:45:44,040 throats because we were just so afraid 1213 00:45:47,690 --> 00:45:45,839 of flying into an ash clouds so 1214 00:45:49,970 --> 00:45:47,700 basically we stayed we tried we we 1215 00:45:51,829 --> 00:45:49,980 decided to maintain our course and to 1216 00:45:54,710 --> 00:45:51,839 stay clear of any possible clouds or 1217 00:45:58,250 --> 00:45:54,720 weather and just let the lights be what 1218 00:46:00,530 --> 00:45:58,260 they were so uh yeah we took right I 1219 00:46:04,010 --> 00:46:00,540 took a lot of pictures of it and after 1220 00:46:06,109 --> 00:46:04,020 uploading them uh the next day they went 1221 00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:06,119 viral and this was uh it was it was 1222 00:46:10,430 --> 00:46:07,760 crazy what happened what happened then 1223 00:46:12,290 --> 00:46:10,440 the funny thing is for people wondering 1224 00:46:14,150 --> 00:46:12,300 how big these lights are 1225 00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:14,160 um I don't know if I send you the 1226 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:16,200 pictures picture as well but two days 1227 00:46:21,109 --> 00:46:18,480 later I was flying from Anchorage to 1228 00:46:24,109 --> 00:46:21,119 Chicago we were overflying Canada the 1229 00:46:26,510 --> 00:46:24,119 city of the Winnipeg I think and we were 1230 00:46:27,349 --> 00:46:26,520 flying at exactly the same altitudes 1231 00:46:30,530 --> 00:46:27,359 um 1232 00:46:33,770 --> 00:46:30,540 at night and I took a similar picture 1233 00:46:35,690 --> 00:46:33,780 over the city of Winnipeg and you can 1234 00:46:38,569 --> 00:46:35,700 actually compare the size between the 1235 00:46:41,510 --> 00:46:38,579 city and the group of flights and do you 1236 00:46:43,250 --> 00:46:41,520 happen to have it with you there 1237 00:46:46,309 --> 00:46:43,260 that's it yeah 1238 00:46:49,069 --> 00:46:46,319 so uh top is the picture with the red 1239 00:46:51,470 --> 00:46:49,079 light so the Pacific we were flying 1240 00:46:54,829 --> 00:46:51,480 um I don't know must have been let's say 1241 00:46:56,390 --> 00:46:54,839 32 000 feet and Below we were flying at 1242 00:46:58,670 --> 00:46:56,400 the same altitude and that's the city of 1243 00:47:00,730 --> 00:46:58,680 Winnipeg which is about 20 or 25 1244 00:47:04,430 --> 00:47:00,740 kilometers in diameter 1245 00:47:06,050 --> 00:47:04,440 so taking that into account 1246 00:47:07,910 --> 00:47:06,060 um you can see that the spread of the 1247 00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:07,920 red of the the red group of Lights is 1248 00:47:13,010 --> 00:47:11,040 about 30 to 35 kilometers in total and 1249 00:47:15,410 --> 00:47:13,020 each individual light is about the size 1250 00:47:16,670 --> 00:47:15,420 of a football stadium 1251 00:47:19,670 --> 00:47:16,680 um 1252 00:47:23,089 --> 00:47:19,680 yeah so for a long time I had no clue 1253 00:47:24,950 --> 00:47:23,099 what it was up to uh roughly six months 1254 00:47:26,450 --> 00:47:24,960 seven months ago 1255 00:47:28,250 --> 00:47:26,460 um apparently another Pilots took 1256 00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:28,260 pictures of these red lights and they 1257 00:47:33,589 --> 00:47:30,960 have now been identified as being a 1258 00:47:35,809 --> 00:47:33,599 Chinese fishing fleet which is fishing 1259 00:47:39,290 --> 00:47:35,819 for sorry 1260 00:47:41,569 --> 00:47:39,300 um and even though I think the lights 1261 00:47:43,970 --> 00:47:41,579 are still pretty big for fishing fleets 1262 00:47:45,530 --> 00:47:43,980 I think it's kind of explained by now 1263 00:47:47,870 --> 00:47:45,540 because I think it was also last year 1264 00:47:50,150 --> 00:47:47,880 there was a there were some pictures 1265 00:47:52,970 --> 00:47:50,160 taken in the port of Shanghai and the 1266 00:47:54,710 --> 00:47:52,980 entire sky was was glowing red and they 1267 00:47:56,530 --> 00:47:54,720 were they were basically explained as 1268 00:47:59,150 --> 00:47:56,540 being efficiently testing their lights 1269 00:48:01,309 --> 00:47:59,160 and that explained to me the the red 1270 00:48:04,309 --> 00:48:01,319 glow and the main oh yeah maybe it's 1271 00:48:05,930 --> 00:48:04,319 good to mention the main reason why I I 1272 00:48:08,390 --> 00:48:05,940 um I didn't think it was a fishing fleet 1273 00:48:10,970 --> 00:48:08,400 to begin with because uh fishing fleets 1274 00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:10,980 always use white or green lights because 1275 00:48:15,650 --> 00:48:12,900 the white and green wavelengths actually 1276 00:48:18,230 --> 00:48:15,660 do penetrate seawater and a red light 1277 00:48:20,270 --> 00:48:18,240 doesn't penetrate seawater at all so it 1278 00:48:23,150 --> 00:48:20,280 doesn't make sense to to hunt for fish 1279 00:48:24,950 --> 00:48:23,160 or to to try and catch fish uh because 1280 00:48:27,589 --> 00:48:24,960 fish are simply not attracted to it from 1281 00:48:30,770 --> 00:48:27,599 from what I read in the literature 1282 00:48:33,589 --> 00:48:30,780 um but six months ago I found out that 1283 00:48:35,750 --> 00:48:33,599 actually what they try to do is not uh 1284 00:48:37,609 --> 00:48:35,760 lure those fish in but to comb them 1285 00:48:39,290 --> 00:48:37,619 because the fish don't see the lights so 1286 00:48:41,270 --> 00:48:39,300 they need illumination for for the 1287 00:48:43,690 --> 00:48:41,280 fishing nets and for the operation so 1288 00:48:46,250 --> 00:48:43,700 apparently the fish get really calm and 1289 00:48:47,930 --> 00:48:46,260 cozy when they see those red lights and 1290 00:48:50,809 --> 00:48:47,940 they're easy easier to fish out of the 1291 00:48:53,390 --> 00:48:50,819 ocean so long story shorts it was fun 1292 00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:53,400 while it lasted but I think it's kind of 1293 00:48:59,390 --> 00:48:56,720 kind of explained as a mundane and uh 1294 00:49:00,770 --> 00:48:59,400 interesting site but nothing nothing to 1295 00:49:03,050 --> 00:49:00,780 get excited about 1296 00:49:04,609 --> 00:49:03,060 yeah but I think one of the reasons why 1297 00:49:06,290 --> 00:49:04,619 we like we said earlier that we're 1298 00:49:08,390 --> 00:49:06,300 showing these cases that have been 1299 00:49:09,650 --> 00:49:08,400 figured out is that it shows the work 1300 00:49:11,150 --> 00:49:09,660 that you're putting in after seeing 1301 00:49:12,650 --> 00:49:11,160 something you know it really does 1302 00:49:14,750 --> 00:49:12,660 highlight that you you're not just 1303 00:49:16,609 --> 00:49:14,760 jumping to conclusions and you know the 1304 00:49:19,190 --> 00:49:16,619 the case there you mentioned about the 1305 00:49:21,230 --> 00:49:19,200 the Sky Go in red last year I I remember 1306 00:49:23,750 --> 00:49:21,240 that popping up all over uh sort of the 1307 00:49:25,849 --> 00:49:23,760 UFO Community with all sorts of theories 1308 00:49:27,290 --> 00:49:25,859 attached to it so you know it it can 1309 00:49:28,970 --> 00:49:27,300 happen that 1310 00:49:32,210 --> 00:49:28,980 people just go for the wildest 1311 00:49:34,609 --> 00:49:32,220 explanations first so you know it's 1312 00:49:37,609 --> 00:49:34,619 great it's really good uh so let's move 1313 00:49:39,410 --> 00:49:37,619 on to the next one which I believe if if 1314 00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:39,420 you don't mind uh what's really 1315 00:49:44,690 --> 00:49:41,040 interesting with these with these red 1316 00:49:46,730 --> 00:49:44,700 lights is that I received uh literally 1317 00:49:48,470 --> 00:49:46,740 maybe a thousand emails from people all 1318 00:49:50,750 --> 00:49:48,480 over the world 1319 00:49:53,030 --> 00:49:50,760 um some people going completely mental 1320 00:49:55,250 --> 00:49:53,040 with their own philosophies about uh the 1321 00:49:58,910 --> 00:49:55,260 Paranormal and um which was kind of uh 1322 00:50:01,190 --> 00:49:58,920 interesting to to to read uh but yeah I 1323 00:50:03,170 --> 00:50:01,200 couldn't really do anything with it but 1324 00:50:04,970 --> 00:50:03,180 I also received some emails from from 1325 00:50:07,490 --> 00:50:04,980 some scientists including a couple of 1326 00:50:08,809 --> 00:50:07,500 American and Russian scientists and they 1327 00:50:11,329 --> 00:50:08,819 uh 1328 00:50:13,490 --> 00:50:11,339 they might they they saw the explanation 1329 00:50:16,309 --> 00:50:13,500 for their theories in my pictures 1330 00:50:18,170 --> 00:50:16,319 that there is some sort of a possible 1331 00:50:19,670 --> 00:50:18,180 electrical discharge between the upper 1332 00:50:21,170 --> 00:50:19,680 parts of the atmosphere and the lower 1333 00:50:23,510 --> 00:50:21,180 parts of the atmosphere because 1334 00:50:25,910 --> 00:50:23,520 apparently and don't quote me on it 1335 00:50:28,569 --> 00:50:25,920 because I'm I'm not a an expert on it 1336 00:50:31,309 --> 00:50:28,579 but with thunderstorms there's a lot of 1337 00:50:32,809 --> 00:50:31,319 electromagnetic discharge I think from 1338 00:50:35,089 --> 00:50:32,819 the grounds to the air or the other way 1339 00:50:37,309 --> 00:50:35,099 around and um some scientists are 1340 00:50:40,390 --> 00:50:37,319 wondering how how nature or how the 1341 00:50:45,770 --> 00:50:40,400 planet is rebalancing those kind of uh 1342 00:50:47,569 --> 00:50:45,780 magnetic uh uh yeah anomalies so they 1343 00:50:49,250 --> 00:50:47,579 proposed that there must be some kind of 1344 00:50:50,630 --> 00:50:49,260 a phenomena here and there that's 1345 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:50,640 actually balancing out the 1346 00:50:55,130 --> 00:50:52,800 electromagnetical discharge or charge 1347 00:50:55,900 --> 00:50:55,140 from the upper atmosphere uh to the 1348 00:50:56,870 --> 00:50:55,910 ground 1349 00:50:57,530 --> 00:50:56,880 [Music] 1350 00:51:00,170 --> 00:50:57,540 um 1351 00:51:01,430 --> 00:51:00,180 really interesting but then again we 1352 00:51:04,010 --> 00:51:01,440 found out it's just a bunch of fishing 1353 00:51:05,690 --> 00:51:04,020 fleets uh but this also made me wonder 1354 00:51:07,849 --> 00:51:05,700 if this could maybe potentially explain 1355 00:51:09,410 --> 00:51:07,859 the falling Lights I've seen earlier uh 1356 00:51:11,089 --> 00:51:09,420 it seems highly unlikely to me because 1357 00:51:13,609 --> 00:51:11,099 it's it's far from a lightning strike 1358 00:51:15,170 --> 00:51:13,619 but uh I don't know 1359 00:51:17,450 --> 00:51:15,180 um anyway that was interesting to see 1360 00:51:18,710 --> 00:51:17,460 but among all those emails and this was 1361 00:51:20,930 --> 00:51:18,720 pretty cool 1362 00:51:22,430 --> 00:51:20,940 uh there was a forwarded email by 1363 00:51:25,549 --> 00:51:22,440 someone else who was who was trying to 1364 00:51:27,650 --> 00:51:25,559 to find out what it was and I saw that 1365 00:51:30,049 --> 00:51:27,660 the original email came from his buddy 1366 00:51:31,430 --> 00:51:30,059 working for Bae British aerospace 1367 00:51:35,210 --> 00:51:31,440 engineering the British weapon 1368 00:51:36,890 --> 00:51:35,220 manufacturer and so I saw he he deleted 1369 00:51:39,710 --> 00:51:36,900 the name but I could still see it was 1370 00:51:43,069 --> 00:51:39,720 coming from a senior weapons analyst in 1371 00:51:44,870 --> 00:51:43,079 Bae Aerospace and then I realized that 1372 00:51:48,650 --> 00:51:44,880 my pictures they were not only going 1373 00:51:52,069 --> 00:51:48,660 viral among the UFO community and uh the 1374 00:51:54,109 --> 00:51:52,079 the pilot Community but they have been 1375 00:51:56,690 --> 00:51:54,119 taking very serious by by weapon 1376 00:51:59,450 --> 00:51:56,700 analysts and uh that was pretty cool so 1377 00:52:01,430 --> 00:51:59,460 I realized that my uh pictures sometimes 1378 00:52:02,809 --> 00:52:01,440 taken from the air are really valuable 1379 00:52:05,270 --> 00:52:02,819 because I'm sitting in a unique position 1380 00:52:06,950 --> 00:52:05,280 so you can imagine the jokes around the 1381 00:52:08,990 --> 00:52:06,960 The Breakfast Table among all the pilots 1382 00:52:10,490 --> 00:52:09,000 you know they're saying you know Obama 1383 00:52:13,430 --> 00:52:10,500 just wakes up and the first thing he 1384 00:52:15,410 --> 00:52:13,440 gets on his desk uh is a briefing 1385 00:52:18,890 --> 00:52:15,420 package with the red lights uh taken by 1386 00:52:20,930 --> 00:52:18,900 Dutch Pilots so um yeah this was the red 1387 00:52:23,270 --> 00:52:20,940 lights uh incident and it's it really 1388 00:52:25,130 --> 00:52:23,280 showed me uh not only how some things 1389 00:52:26,569 --> 00:52:25,140 can be explained very projectly because 1390 00:52:29,569 --> 00:52:26,579 I I was I was going through many 1391 00:52:31,730 --> 00:52:29,579 theories myself uh and in the end it 1392 00:52:33,710 --> 00:52:31,740 just it just happened to be a stupid 1393 00:52:35,569 --> 00:52:33,720 fishing fleet but it showed also to me 1394 00:52:37,790 --> 00:52:35,579 that a lot of people are are interested 1395 00:52:40,910 --> 00:52:37,800 in in these kind of sightings so it was 1396 00:52:43,250 --> 00:52:40,920 kind of um encouraging uh to me yeah 1397 00:52:44,809 --> 00:52:43,260 absolutely yes as a large note before we 1398 00:52:46,549 --> 00:52:44,819 continue 1399 00:52:47,690 --> 00:52:46,559 um initially as I said before I was 1400 00:52:51,230 --> 00:52:47,700 really afraid that my colleagues were 1401 00:52:54,589 --> 00:52:51,240 actually make fun of me or or try to 1402 00:52:57,589 --> 00:52:54,599 radicalize it far from it far from it 1403 00:52:58,790 --> 00:52:57,599 and this incident triggered a lot of a 1404 00:53:01,250 --> 00:52:58,800 lot of my colleagues to come forward 1405 00:53:02,329 --> 00:53:01,260 with their own stories as well 1406 00:53:04,670 --> 00:53:02,339 um 1407 00:53:05,809 --> 00:53:04,680 I I have to leave it up to my colleagues 1408 00:53:08,390 --> 00:53:05,819 to come forward with their own 1409 00:53:09,950 --> 00:53:08,400 testimonies Etc but some of the stories 1410 00:53:11,930 --> 00:53:09,960 that some of my colleagues and I'm 1411 00:53:15,650 --> 00:53:11,940 talking about really experienced Pilots 1412 00:53:17,450 --> 00:53:15,660 have told me are baffling absolutely 1413 00:53:19,250 --> 00:53:17,460 baffling and 1414 00:53:21,950 --> 00:53:19,260 um 1415 00:53:23,569 --> 00:53:21,960 yeah it's uh it doesn't really help 1416 00:53:25,849 --> 00:53:23,579 anything for the conversation if I start 1417 00:53:27,890 --> 00:53:25,859 at all and tell tell those stories but 1418 00:53:30,170 --> 00:53:27,900 it showed to me that a lot of Pilots are 1419 00:53:32,030 --> 00:53:30,180 seeing stuff and I think it's in a sense 1420 00:53:32,750 --> 00:53:32,040 it was it was nice to see people opening 1421 00:53:34,309 --> 00:53:32,760 up 1422 00:53:37,730 --> 00:53:34,319 yeah absolutely and it's good to know 1423 00:53:39,950 --> 00:53:37,740 that it is happening and you know 1424 00:53:41,990 --> 00:53:39,960 anyone's welcome to come forward and I 1425 00:53:44,329 --> 00:53:42,000 appreciate that some have many reasons 1426 00:53:45,829 --> 00:53:44,339 why they don't want to but you know and 1427 00:53:48,470 --> 00:53:45,839 if you ever mention it they're always 1428 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:48,480 welcome here we can always talk a lot 1429 00:53:52,790 --> 00:53:50,640 beforehand so you know I always like to 1430 00:53:56,690 --> 00:53:52,800 put that out there so thank you for that 1431 00:53:59,990 --> 00:53:56,700 yeah uh yeah moving on 1432 00:54:04,190 --> 00:54:00,000 um we've got the space debris 1433 00:54:06,109 --> 00:54:04,200 which these photographs are crazy 1434 00:54:08,210 --> 00:54:06,119 and this is also something that's been 1435 00:54:10,190 --> 00:54:08,220 seen more and more often since 1436 00:54:12,650 --> 00:54:10,200 um more and more space debris is 1437 00:54:14,329 --> 00:54:12,660 basically burning up nowadays 1438 00:54:16,010 --> 00:54:14,339 um and I've seen 1439 00:54:18,530 --> 00:54:16,020 um yeah exactly I've seen quite a lot of 1440 00:54:20,690 --> 00:54:18,540 posts on social media here and there of 1441 00:54:23,870 --> 00:54:20,700 uh moving images of this space debris 1442 00:54:25,250 --> 00:54:23,880 and it looks absolutely uh mesmerizing 1443 00:54:27,049 --> 00:54:25,260 but a lot of people are immediately 1444 00:54:29,809 --> 00:54:27,059 jumping to conclusions like oh this is 1445 00:54:32,150 --> 00:54:29,819 starlink uh this is this is aliens this 1446 00:54:34,609 --> 00:54:32,160 is UFOs and this is really something 1447 00:54:36,349 --> 00:54:34,619 very mundane uh it's basically an old 1448 00:54:39,290 --> 00:54:36,359 rocket part burning up in the upper 1449 00:54:41,450 --> 00:54:39,300 atmosphere I never expected this one it 1450 00:54:43,809 --> 00:54:41,460 was really cool we were flying uh let me 1451 00:54:47,150 --> 00:54:43,819 see it was May 28th 1452 00:54:49,309 --> 00:54:47,160 2017 we were flying uh between Africa 1453 00:54:52,430 --> 00:54:49,319 and South America in the Mid-Atlantic 1454 00:54:54,770 --> 00:54:52,440 ocean and uh as you can see you know I 1455 00:54:56,450 --> 00:54:54,780 had a camera already ready to capture 1456 00:54:58,910 --> 00:54:56,460 the Milky Way and some shooting stars 1457 00:55:01,250 --> 00:54:58,920 and we were talking about the universe 1458 00:55:03,170 --> 00:55:01,260 and all kinds of funny things and all of 1459 00:55:05,210 --> 00:55:03,180 a sudden from the corner of my eye I was 1460 00:55:06,890 --> 00:55:05,220 sitting on the right hand seat uh from 1461 00:55:08,870 --> 00:55:06,900 the corner of my eye I see we're being 1462 00:55:10,430 --> 00:55:08,880 overtaken by another airplane and this 1463 00:55:13,010 --> 00:55:10,440 shouldn't be because we're completely 1464 00:55:14,150 --> 00:55:13,020 alone over the ocean yeah instantly I 1465 00:55:15,770 --> 00:55:14,160 realized wait a minute there's something 1466 00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:15,780 going on because it's much higher than 1467 00:55:19,670 --> 00:55:17,700 we are and it's glowing and there's 1468 00:55:22,130 --> 00:55:19,680 something something off here and I was 1469 00:55:24,230 --> 00:55:22,140 looking at it and this is a 30 second 1470 00:55:26,809 --> 00:55:24,240 exposure so 1471 00:55:30,770 --> 00:55:26,819 um it shows it as a blurry long line but 1472 00:55:34,069 --> 00:55:30,780 it was like a big bowl of of 1473 00:55:35,990 --> 00:55:34,079 uh yeah a glowing ball with all all 1474 00:55:37,670 --> 00:55:36,000 sorts of debris and parts 1475 00:55:39,650 --> 00:55:37,680 um falling off and burning up in the 1476 00:55:42,109 --> 00:55:39,660 ocean as it went along it was really 1477 00:55:45,109 --> 00:55:42,119 cool to see and unfortunately we both 1478 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:45,119 immediately identified it as as some 1479 00:55:49,670 --> 00:55:47,520 space debris burning up we had no clue 1480 00:55:51,530 --> 00:55:49,680 what it was and it was visible for about 1481 00:55:53,870 --> 00:55:51,540 one and a half minutes and it was just 1482 00:55:57,650 --> 00:55:53,880 going over the uh across the Horizon and 1483 00:55:58,970 --> 00:55:57,660 burning up in the atmosphere and um this 1484 00:56:01,430 --> 00:55:58,980 was pretty cool 1485 00:56:02,930 --> 00:56:01,440 um it took me about a week to get the uh 1486 00:56:04,670 --> 00:56:02,940 the final answer on what kind of space 1487 00:56:05,630 --> 00:56:04,680 debris it was and there was one 1488 00:56:07,190 --> 00:56:05,640 gentleman 1489 00:56:09,950 --> 00:56:07,200 um I should have written down his name I 1490 00:56:12,069 --> 00:56:09,960 forgot his name uh but as a hobby he is 1491 00:56:13,970 --> 00:56:12,079 he's tracking all sorts of space debris 1492 00:56:16,309 --> 00:56:13,980 uh and 1493 00:56:18,650 --> 00:56:16,319 um he he saw my pictures he contacted me 1494 00:56:21,650 --> 00:56:18,660 and he said well this really resembles 1495 00:56:24,349 --> 00:56:21,660 the Chinese rocket booster from 1496 00:56:26,329 --> 00:56:24,359 whatever which was uh launched five or 1497 00:56:28,670 --> 00:56:26,339 six years earlier and it was just 1498 00:56:30,770 --> 00:56:28,680 orbiting the Earth and basically it's a 1499 00:56:33,109 --> 00:56:30,780 matter of time before it's it slowly 1500 00:56:36,530 --> 00:56:33,119 starts descending towards uh 1501 00:56:38,150 --> 00:56:36,540 uh uh parts of the atmosphere where it's 1502 00:56:40,190 --> 00:56:38,160 getting more and more friction and 1503 00:56:42,170 --> 00:56:40,200 eventually burning up in in maybe two or 1504 00:56:45,109 --> 00:56:42,180 three minutes time and it's impossible 1505 00:56:47,569 --> 00:56:45,119 to say where it will exactly um hit the 1506 00:56:49,309 --> 00:56:47,579 uh the point that starts breaking up or 1507 00:56:51,049 --> 00:56:49,319 burning up because it's just so 1508 00:56:54,470 --> 00:56:51,059 unpredictable with tumbling around and 1509 00:56:56,329 --> 00:56:54,480 Atmospheric uh changes so 1510 00:56:59,030 --> 00:56:56,339 um yeah it was identified I could almost 1511 00:57:01,849 --> 00:56:59,040 identify the type of uh the type of 1512 00:57:03,410 --> 00:57:01,859 Rocket it was and uh that was it and I 1513 00:57:05,210 --> 00:57:03,420 took this picture just after the 1514 00:57:08,030 --> 00:57:05,220 incident this is the instruments the 1515 00:57:10,910 --> 00:57:08,040 navigation display and on the lower uh 1516 00:57:13,670 --> 00:57:10,920 left hand corner you see the GPS 1517 00:57:17,089 --> 00:57:13,680 coordinates as well just trying to say 1518 00:57:20,150 --> 00:57:17,099 you logged it right yeah exactly yeah 1519 00:57:21,710 --> 00:57:20,160 that's interesting it kind of links into 1520 00:57:23,270 --> 00:57:21,720 a degree with this question from blue 1521 00:57:25,309 --> 00:57:23,280 eyes and thank you for the five dollar 1522 00:57:27,230 --> 00:57:25,319 donation and becoming a member blue eyes 1523 00:57:28,790 --> 00:57:27,240 thank you so much he's asking if you've 1524 00:57:32,390 --> 00:57:28,800 confirmed any of the sightings with 1525 00:57:37,609 --> 00:57:36,109 um no no uh unfortunately not uh in the 1526 00:57:39,410 --> 00:57:37,619 sense that I've asked many radio 1527 00:57:42,349 --> 00:57:39,420 operators or air traffic controllers if 1528 00:57:43,849 --> 00:57:42,359 they see anything on radar uh we will go 1529 00:57:47,930 --> 00:57:43,859 in more detail with the latest with the 1530 00:57:49,010 --> 00:57:47,940 last case uh this the case of Spain 1531 00:57:49,990 --> 00:57:49,020 um because that's actually an 1532 00:57:53,510 --> 00:57:50,000 interesting 1533 00:57:57,530 --> 00:57:53,520 story about air traffic controllers the 1534 00:58:00,190 --> 00:57:57,540 big point is people have to realize that 1535 00:58:02,870 --> 00:58:00,200 nowadays Air Traffic Control both 1536 00:58:05,630 --> 00:58:02,880 military and civil I think it's also 1537 00:58:07,910 --> 00:58:05,640 military they use a system that's not 1538 00:58:11,089 --> 00:58:07,920 using primary radar so in the old days 1539 00:58:13,609 --> 00:58:11,099 let's say the the the first years of of 1540 00:58:15,109 --> 00:58:13,619 radar usage they were using a radar 1541 00:58:17,630 --> 00:58:15,119 signal and every time it was bouncing 1542 00:58:19,670 --> 00:58:17,640 back from an object there was like a a 1543 00:58:21,470 --> 00:58:19,680 ping there was something showing up on 1544 00:58:23,150 --> 00:58:21,480 the radar display nowadays because 1545 00:58:24,710 --> 00:58:23,160 there's so much clutter there are birds 1546 00:58:27,109 --> 00:58:24,720 it's whether it's like there's so much 1547 00:58:29,329 --> 00:58:27,119 stuff going on 1548 00:58:31,430 --> 00:58:29,339 um modern air traffic control works with 1549 00:58:34,010 --> 00:58:31,440 a with a radar that's sending out a 1550 00:58:35,690 --> 00:58:34,020 signal and the moments that the 1551 00:58:38,270 --> 00:58:35,700 transponder in the airplane 1552 00:58:40,370 --> 00:58:38,280 received a signal it sends all day all 1553 00:58:42,410 --> 00:58:40,380 sorts of data back and only those kind 1554 00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:42,420 of radar responses are being plotted on 1555 00:58:46,190 --> 00:58:44,280 the radar chart so nowadays an air 1556 00:58:48,289 --> 00:58:46,200 traffic controller they do not have an 1557 00:58:50,329 --> 00:58:48,299 old radar display that shows all the 1558 00:58:52,270 --> 00:58:50,339 objects in the sky it just shows the uh 1559 00:58:54,530 --> 00:58:52,280 the airplanes with the specific 1560 00:58:56,690 --> 00:58:54,540 transponder setting back on the radar 1561 00:58:58,609 --> 00:58:56,700 display and this is very important to 1562 00:59:00,950 --> 00:58:58,619 keep in mind because the radar operator 1563 00:59:04,490 --> 00:59:00,960 like an air traffic controller 1564 00:59:07,010 --> 00:59:04,500 um they probably don't see any uh any 1565 00:59:09,470 --> 00:59:07,020 objects in the in the airspace that 1566 00:59:11,870 --> 00:59:09,480 don't have a man-made Aviation approved 1567 00:59:13,609 --> 00:59:11,880 transponder I think it might be 1568 00:59:15,589 --> 00:59:13,619 different for military operators and I 1569 00:59:17,450 --> 00:59:15,599 think we've seen also with Testaments 1570 00:59:21,710 --> 00:59:17,460 from Kamala David Shriver and the Navy 1571 00:59:24,650 --> 00:59:21,720 incidents uh that is by two Radars they 1572 00:59:26,510 --> 00:59:24,660 were picking up objects uh from the uh I 1573 00:59:28,849 --> 00:59:26,520 think it was a radar ceiling 80 000 feet 1574 00:59:30,530 --> 00:59:28,859 up to sea level so these kind of Radars 1575 00:59:32,150 --> 00:59:30,540 are very sophisticated and they work on 1576 00:59:37,069 --> 00:59:32,160 a completely different 1577 00:59:38,930 --> 00:59:37,079 um uh uh system logic uh so I cannot say 1578 00:59:41,990 --> 00:59:38,940 anything about military aircraft Raiders 1579 00:59:43,609 --> 00:59:42,000 but uh normally Air Traffic Control they 1580 00:59:46,849 --> 00:59:43,619 can only say if they're aware of 1581 00:59:48,530 --> 00:59:46,859 military traffic going on so yeah that's 1582 00:59:50,630 --> 00:59:48,540 that's kind of a useless Source but at 1583 00:59:53,690 --> 00:59:50,640 least sometimes it can confirm there's 1584 00:59:54,890 --> 00:59:53,700 some man-made equipments flying around 1585 00:59:58,130 --> 00:59:54,900 playing around 1586 01:00:02,030 --> 00:59:58,140 yeah absolutely I appreciate that so 1587 01:00:04,490 --> 01:00:02,040 let's move on to the ICBM launch if 1588 01:00:06,289 --> 01:00:04,500 that's all right yeah I'll just quickly 1589 01:00:08,150 --> 01:00:06,299 say thank you Shelley again for the ten 1590 01:00:09,950 --> 01:00:08,160 dollars you guys are awesome so generous 1591 01:00:11,569 --> 01:00:09,960 thank you so much 1592 01:00:13,609 --> 01:00:11,579 um right let me bring up these oh 1593 01:00:15,049 --> 01:00:13,619 Christopher plain how's it going 1594 01:00:16,609 --> 01:00:15,059 there you go military still use 1595 01:00:19,130 --> 01:00:16,619 traditional radar that plots all 1596 01:00:20,450 --> 01:00:19,140 physical objects they see awesome thank 1597 01:00:21,530 --> 01:00:20,460 you for clarifying good to see you 1598 01:00:24,410 --> 01:00:21,540 Christopher 1599 01:00:27,230 --> 01:00:24,420 right yes what we got did I say it's the 1600 01:00:29,030 --> 01:00:27,240 ICBM launch and the one thing I will say 1601 01:00:30,650 --> 01:00:29,040 is that these photographs even though 1602 01:00:32,750 --> 01:00:30,660 they're Prozac explanations they're 1603 01:00:35,329 --> 01:00:32,760 still absolutely stunning looking at 1604 01:00:36,650 --> 01:00:35,339 those Cloud Fields uh star Fields sorry 1605 01:00:39,109 --> 01:00:36,660 it's just 1606 01:00:41,569 --> 01:00:39,119 phenomenal and this is certainly bizarre 1607 01:00:44,690 --> 01:00:41,579 let's bring this one up and then you can 1608 01:00:51,230 --> 01:00:47,150 yeah 1609 01:00:54,109 --> 01:00:51,240 from Google Earth literally placed on 1610 01:00:59,809 --> 01:00:56,809 yeah this was pretty cool uh this was 1611 01:01:01,150 --> 01:00:59,819 over uh northern China and this was a 1612 01:01:04,130 --> 01:01:01,160 plant 1613 01:01:05,690 --> 01:01:04,140 Rockets test and we knew it already 1614 01:01:08,630 --> 01:01:05,700 beforehand because there was an airspace 1615 01:01:10,910 --> 01:01:08,640 closure uh just north of our route and 1616 01:01:12,470 --> 01:01:10,920 much further south of our routes so we 1617 01:01:14,829 --> 01:01:12,480 knew there was some 1618 01:01:17,390 --> 01:01:14,839 um some launch or some kind of uh 1619 01:01:19,069 --> 01:01:17,400 activity going on but we were really 1620 01:01:21,230 --> 01:01:19,079 surprised to actually see it popping up 1621 01:01:22,730 --> 01:01:21,240 like this so as you can see the sun was 1622 01:01:25,010 --> 01:01:22,740 already setting it was actually it was 1623 01:01:26,930 --> 01:01:25,020 already Serbia below the Horizon and 1624 01:01:28,910 --> 01:01:26,940 there was only this this glow of the 1625 01:01:32,510 --> 01:01:28,920 atmosphere left and all of a sudden we 1626 01:01:35,390 --> 01:01:32,520 saw this pin just rising up and it was 1627 01:01:37,549 --> 01:01:35,400 going pretty fast and 1628 01:01:39,109 --> 01:01:37,559 um yeah basically it was yeah there so 1629 01:01:42,109 --> 01:01:39,119 this is the first stage that's that's 1630 01:01:44,630 --> 01:01:42,119 being burning up and as it grows higher 1631 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:44,640 and higher uh the ambient air pressure 1632 01:01:48,950 --> 01:01:47,280 is decreasing so the exhaust gases start 1633 01:01:51,289 --> 01:01:48,960 expanding and you see nowadays with 1634 01:01:53,089 --> 01:01:51,299 these SpaceX launches where you see this 1635 01:01:55,069 --> 01:01:53,099 huge Bloom it's it's basically because 1636 01:01:57,170 --> 01:01:55,079 of the very low m Ambience air pressure 1637 01:02:01,190 --> 01:01:57,180 that the plume is just expanding rapidly 1638 01:02:05,930 --> 01:02:04,010 next one 1639 01:02:09,049 --> 01:02:05,940 yeah here you see that the second stage 1640 01:02:11,150 --> 01:02:09,059 is starting the ignition already so for 1641 01:02:13,910 --> 01:02:11,160 me when I saw this with the with the two 1642 01:02:18,349 --> 01:02:13,920 different blooms uh it was clear that it 1643 01:02:19,789 --> 01:02:18,359 was uh rockets and uh yeah we we 1644 01:02:21,170 --> 01:02:19,799 immediately knew what it was and we were 1645 01:02:23,930 --> 01:02:21,180 just enjoying the view because it was 1646 01:02:26,510 --> 01:02:23,940 pretty cool to see yeah absolutely and 1647 01:02:28,430 --> 01:02:26,520 is this uh Cloud layer here yep Cloud 1648 01:02:29,870 --> 01:02:28,440 layer it's just hidden in the shadows 1649 01:02:32,569 --> 01:02:29,880 because it's basically already nights 1650 01:02:34,130 --> 01:02:32,579 and the only lights that we see is uh is 1651 01:02:35,450 --> 01:02:34,140 is from the Sun that's already behind 1652 01:02:37,609 --> 01:02:35,460 the horizon 1653 01:02:40,549 --> 01:02:37,619 uh it is like you said it's absolutely 1654 01:02:42,710 --> 01:02:40,559 stunning to to look at so 1655 01:02:44,270 --> 01:02:42,720 yeah I suppose if you knew that straight 1656 01:02:46,250 --> 01:02:44,280 away you know there's not much to sort 1657 01:02:47,930 --> 01:02:46,260 of sort of follow up on that one but 1658 01:02:49,789 --> 01:02:47,940 yeah that's good then that you actually 1659 01:02:51,589 --> 01:02:49,799 are told in advance of things that are 1660 01:02:53,450 --> 01:02:51,599 happening nearby whether it be ICBM 1661 01:02:54,530 --> 01:02:53,460 launches and Rocket tests and things 1662 01:02:56,630 --> 01:02:54,540 like that you always get that 1663 01:02:59,089 --> 01:02:56,640 information so that's really handy yeah 1664 01:03:00,950 --> 01:02:59,099 yeah yeah even though sometimes uh the 1665 01:03:02,990 --> 01:03:00,960 briefing package of of no terms which is 1666 01:03:04,789 --> 01:03:03,000 almost like this big so you go through 1667 01:03:06,230 --> 01:03:04,799 it a little bit yeah okay okay we found 1668 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:06,240 out and sometimes you miss something 1669 01:03:09,650 --> 01:03:08,160 because basically what we look for is 1670 01:03:11,809 --> 01:03:09,660 all the information that's relevant to 1671 01:03:13,549 --> 01:03:11,819 our flight path and Route and uh 1672 01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:13,559 sometimes with rocket launches like 1673 01:03:16,190 --> 01:03:14,700 these 1674 01:03:17,569 --> 01:03:16,200 um they're in a in a no-time package 1675 01:03:19,430 --> 01:03:17,579 your briefing package just that's 1676 01:03:21,349 --> 01:03:19,440 talking about a completely different 1677 01:03:23,930 --> 01:03:21,359 country where we're not even flying so 1678 01:03:25,309 --> 01:03:23,940 sometimes I'm not always reading up on 1679 01:03:27,490 --> 01:03:25,319 all the notes apps but in this case it 1680 01:03:32,990 --> 01:03:27,500 was a it was a clear case of uh 1681 01:03:36,829 --> 01:03:35,150 and one thing we've not really gone into 1682 01:03:39,170 --> 01:03:36,839 so far is the kind of equipment that 1683 01:03:40,670 --> 01:03:39,180 you've been using camera wise so so far 1684 01:03:42,410 --> 01:03:40,680 we've obviously had the red light over 1685 01:03:44,089 --> 01:03:42,420 the Pacific the space debris and then 1686 01:03:47,210 --> 01:03:44,099 this ICBM launch so what kind of cameras 1687 01:03:48,770 --> 01:03:47,220 were you using and lenses as well 1688 01:03:50,450 --> 01:03:48,780 um I'm not sure if I can mention the 1689 01:03:53,410 --> 01:03:50,460 brand but I'll just do it anyway 1690 01:03:56,630 --> 01:03:53,420 um I'm solely using uh using Nikon Nikon 1691 01:03:58,549 --> 01:03:56,640 and I started uh basically from the time 1692 01:04:02,270 --> 01:03:58,559 I was flying in Afghanistan Etc with the 1693 01:04:04,730 --> 01:04:02,280 d80 which is a very small DSLR camera 1694 01:04:09,289 --> 01:04:04,740 um and um over the years I upgraded from 1695 01:04:12,250 --> 01:04:09,299 the d80 to the d200s to the d800s d850 1696 01:04:16,010 --> 01:04:12,260 and now I'm using the z7 z7 1697 01:04:17,930 --> 01:04:16,020 which is a mirrorless high-end camera 1698 01:04:20,930 --> 01:04:17,940 really some of the best actually there 1699 01:04:23,210 --> 01:04:20,940 are and I'm using uh mostly uh 1700 01:04:25,490 --> 01:04:23,220 professional uh high grade lenses so I'm 1701 01:04:27,230 --> 01:04:25,500 using 2.8 lenses sometimes I take 1702 01:04:29,329 --> 01:04:27,240 pictures with the fisheye like the the 1703 01:04:32,569 --> 01:04:29,339 rocket debris burning up and also the 1704 01:04:35,630 --> 01:04:32,579 red lights I took with the 10.5 uh 2.8 1705 01:04:36,770 --> 01:04:35,640 millimeter uh which is the extreme wide 1706 01:04:39,650 --> 01:04:36,780 angle lens 1707 01:04:41,270 --> 01:04:39,660 um and I'm mostly using the 1424 wide 1708 01:04:43,490 --> 01:04:41,280 angle lens for the AV for the 1709 01:04:45,950 --> 01:04:43,500 photography nerds it's it's probably no 1710 01:04:48,890 --> 01:04:45,960 material uh but it's it's a really great 1711 01:04:51,829 --> 01:04:48,900 stuff and I also carry the 70s or 1712 01:04:53,750 --> 01:04:51,839 another 24 17 millimeter 2.8 with me 1713 01:04:56,089 --> 01:04:53,760 the big problem is with photography from 1714 01:04:58,069 --> 01:04:56,099 the cockpits uh we have to take pictures 1715 01:05:00,589 --> 01:04:58,079 through really really thick layered 1716 01:05:03,710 --> 01:05:00,599 cloths sometimes six layers 1717 01:05:05,270 --> 01:05:03,720 um and it's like uh it's impossible to 1718 01:05:06,890 --> 01:05:05,280 get sharp pictures if you zoom in too 1719 01:05:08,809 --> 01:05:06,900 far which 1720 01:05:10,190 --> 01:05:08,819 um when I started taking pictures from 1721 01:05:11,750 --> 01:05:10,200 the cockpit was a was a huge 1722 01:05:13,370 --> 01:05:11,760 disappointment because there's so many 1723 01:05:15,049 --> 01:05:13,380 beautiful things to see especially 1724 01:05:17,630 --> 01:05:15,059 mountain ridges in the background Etc 1725 01:05:19,370 --> 01:05:17,640 but I basically forced myself to use 1726 01:05:21,289 --> 01:05:19,380 wide angle lenses 1727 01:05:24,710 --> 01:05:21,299 because we're using wide-angle lenses 1728 01:05:26,329 --> 01:05:24,720 you you avoid a distortion on the uh of 1729 01:05:28,430 --> 01:05:26,339 the windows 1730 01:05:29,930 --> 01:05:28,440 um so long story short I'm using these 1731 01:05:33,470 --> 01:05:29,940 wide angle lenses to take pictures from 1732 01:05:36,170 --> 01:05:33,480 the cockpit and uh uh um yeah that's 1733 01:05:37,910 --> 01:05:36,180 that's the equipment I carry with me now 1734 01:05:40,309 --> 01:05:37,920 yeah and I will just reiterate to 1735 01:05:42,109 --> 01:05:40,319 everybody to please go and check out uh 1736 01:05:43,849 --> 01:05:42,119 Christian's Instagram accounts and that 1737 01:05:46,010 --> 01:05:43,859 where he puts so many beautiful and 1738 01:05:47,990 --> 01:05:46,020 stunning photographs uh before we jump 1739 01:05:50,750 --> 01:05:48,000 on to this next case I thought this one 1740 01:05:53,870 --> 01:05:50,760 was uh kind of amusing it says publish a 1741 01:05:56,329 --> 01:05:53,880 book well you know you've I think you've 1742 01:05:58,630 --> 01:05:56,339 got two books out haven't you uh yeah 1743 01:06:01,549 --> 01:05:58,640 actually the first book came out in 1744 01:06:04,370 --> 01:06:01,559 2016. it's called cargo pilots uh 1745 01:06:07,910 --> 01:06:04,380 because uh a flying cargo uh and it was 1746 01:06:10,329 --> 01:06:07,920 it was funny I met my uh uh my the 1747 01:06:13,130 --> 01:06:10,339 author of my book um uh 1748 01:06:15,170 --> 01:06:13,140 and um only later I realized he wasn't 1749 01:06:16,970 --> 01:06:15,180 uh sorry I met the publisher of my book 1750 01:06:19,370 --> 01:06:16,980 and only later I realized he was a 1751 01:06:20,990 --> 01:06:19,380 publisher and he told me 1752 01:06:22,609 --> 01:06:21,000 um you know actually you have so many 1753 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:22,619 cool stories let's make a book about it 1754 01:06:25,730 --> 01:06:24,720 the problem is I expect there will be an 1755 01:06:30,470 --> 01:06:25,740 audience 1756 01:06:31,970 --> 01:06:30,480 nerds that might be interested in it but 1757 01:06:33,770 --> 01:06:31,980 let's let's just go for it because he's 1758 01:06:35,390 --> 01:06:33,780 a publisher 1759 01:06:37,910 --> 01:06:35,400 um uh in a niche

01:06:42,599 think it's already in the fifth print 1763 01:06:47,210 --> 01:06:45,299 run now and since I upgraded to uh 1764 01:06:48,890 --> 01:06:47,220 Captain last year we decided to make the 1765 01:06:51,170 --> 01:06:48,900 fifth printer and the the captain's 1766 01:06:53,089 --> 01:06:51,180 Edition which is out now and it 1767 01:06:54,890 --> 01:06:53,099 basically covers 1768

waters and I just want to in 1796 01:07:57,109 --> 01:07:54,180 this interview at least I just want to 1797 01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:57,119 focus on the on the anomalies and the uh 1798 01:08:01,670 --> 01:07:59,280 the weird and interesting things that we 1799 01:08:03,349 --> 01:08:01,680 sometimes see in the uh in the air I 1800 01:08:04,789 --> 01:08:03,359 understand completely I understand yeah 1801 01:08:08,450 --> 01:08:04,799 I just want I just mentioned it because 1802 01:08:10,609 --> 01:08:08,460 that comment was like yeah so yeah let's 1803 01:08:17,030 --> 01:08:10,619 move on then um 1804 01:08:17,040 --> 01:08:19,970 go for it 1805 01:08:24,470 --> 01:08:22,789 yeah this is an interesting one as well 1806 01:08:27,229 --> 01:08:24,480 um actually because it's so uh 1807 01:08:30,530 --> 01:08:27,239 underwhelming 1808 01:08:32,749 --> 01:08:30,540 um the picture was taken April 5th 2020 1809 01:08:35,990 --> 01:08:32,759 over the North Atlantic 1810 01:08:37,970 --> 01:08:36,000 um and um I was I think during that 1811 01:08:40,669 --> 01:08:37,980 flight alone I took maybe 50 or 60 1812 01:08:42,890 --> 01:08:40,679 pictures uh this is the raw picture as 1813 01:08:44,990 --> 01:08:42,900 it came from my camera and I just put 1814 01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:45,000 them on my uh on my computer and I never 1815 01:08:49,249 --> 01:08:46,799 had time to look at them anymore until 1816 01:08:50,870 --> 01:08:49,259 about I think six months or seven months 1817 01:08:52,910 --> 01:08:50,880 ago and I was going through these 1818 01:08:55,370 --> 01:08:52,920 pictures with the moon and I was I was 1819 01:08:57,349 --> 01:08:55,380 looking for some stuff to to work on and 1820 01:09:00,110 --> 01:08:57,359 when browsing through these pictures I 1821 01:09:02,570 --> 01:09:00,120 just noticed this little light streak uh 1822 01:09:04,849 --> 01:09:02,580 in only one of those I took maybe six 1823 01:09:07,309 --> 01:09:04,859 pictures in a time span of 20 seconds 1824 01:09:09,590 --> 01:09:07,319 and this was the only one that had the 1825 01:09:11,990 --> 01:09:09,600 little uh light streak in it 1826 01:09:16,309 --> 01:09:12,000 and I think there's also one where I've 1827 01:09:20,749 --> 01:09:18,410 ah yeah 1828 01:09:22,309 --> 01:09:20,759 and um I have no clue what it was 1829 01:09:23,930 --> 01:09:22,319 because I took so many pictures after 1830 01:09:25,849 --> 01:09:23,940 each other and as I said from a whole 1831 01:09:27,169 --> 01:09:25,859 series of five or six pictures this was 1832 01:09:29,510 --> 01:09:27,179 the only one with this little light 1833 01:09:31,910 --> 01:09:29,520 streak in it uh I didn't see it with a 1834 01:09:34,309 --> 01:09:31,920 naked eye and as I said you know I only 1835 01:09:36,110 --> 01:09:34,319 only noticed it on the file two years 1836 01:09:36,890 --> 01:09:36,120 later 1837 01:09:39,289 --> 01:09:36,900 um 1838 01:09:40,669 --> 01:09:39,299 I posted it online asking my followers 1839 01:09:42,530 --> 01:09:40,679 what they think it was and a lot of 1840 01:09:45,110 --> 01:09:42,540 people already commented that it it 1841 01:09:46,970 --> 01:09:45,120 might have been a cosmic ray 1842 01:09:48,590 --> 01:09:46,980 um which which might have well been it's 1843 01:09:50,689 --> 01:09:48,600 one of those high energy particles 1844 01:09:52,910 --> 01:09:50,699 shooting through the through the the 1845 01:09:55,370 --> 01:09:52,920 universe at all times and most of them 1846 01:09:57,530 --> 01:09:55,380 are filtered out by the earth atmosphere 1847 01:10:00,590 --> 01:09:57,540 but some are actually uh coming through 1848 01:10:02,510 --> 01:10:00,600 and if they hit a sensor of a camera 1849 01:10:05,209 --> 01:10:02,520 they just show up as these little light 1850 01:10:07,790 --> 01:10:05,219 streaks and sometimes you hear it from 1851 01:10:10,430 --> 01:10:07,800 Pilots but also especially astronauts 1852 01:10:12,830 --> 01:10:10,440 that are venturing above them the 1853 01:10:14,390 --> 01:10:12,840 largest mass of the atmosphere you see 1854 01:10:16,430 --> 01:10:14,400 these little light flashes in your eyes 1855 01:10:18,110 --> 01:10:16,440 and astronauts have it more often Apollo 1856 01:10:20,149 --> 01:10:18,120 Astronauts had it a lot as well because 1857 01:10:22,729 --> 01:10:20,159 they were so far out of the uh the 1858 01:10:24,709 --> 01:10:22,739 Earth's a protective uh magnetosphere 1859 01:10:26,630 --> 01:10:24,719 but uh yeah I think it's one of those 1860 01:10:29,750 --> 01:10:26,640 particles that just just hit the sensor 1861 01:10:32,030 --> 01:10:29,760 and left This Little Light streak 1862 01:10:33,890 --> 01:10:32,040 um as we speak this image is being 1863 01:10:36,649 --> 01:10:33,900 analyzed by 1864 01:10:37,750 --> 01:10:36,659 um uh epaco I'm probably butchering the 1865 01:10:42,229 --> 01:10:37,760 different 1866 01:10:43,729 --> 01:10:42,239 is a part of uh or actually is run by 1867 01:10:46,189 --> 01:10:43,739 the same people who are working in the 1868 01:10:49,550 --> 01:10:46,199 gaipan which is the French organization 1869 01:10:51,410 --> 01:10:49,560 to identify aerial anomalies the part of 1870 01:10:55,189 --> 01:10:51,420 the the French space force the Defense 1871 01:10:57,410 --> 01:10:55,199 Force I think I'm in contact with Mr 1872 01:11:00,050 --> 01:10:57,420 Tony Cuisine yeah probably butchering 1873 01:11:01,669 --> 01:11:00,060 his name but my apologies for that 1874 01:11:03,709 --> 01:11:01,679 um he was interested in the red lights 1875 01:11:06,530 --> 01:11:03,719 already and he's now working to analyze 1876 01:11:08,570 --> 01:11:06,540 both this image and the Spanish image 1877 01:11:10,310 --> 01:11:08,580 we're going to talk about in the end uh 1878 01:11:12,770 --> 01:11:10,320 Cliffhanger 1879 01:11:15,050 --> 01:11:12,780 um but he already confirmed that it's 1880 01:11:17,270 --> 01:11:15,060 highly likely a cosmic ray but they find 1881 01:11:20,229 --> 01:11:17,280 it such a nice example that they want to 1882 01:11:23,030 --> 01:11:20,239 use this picture in their database as a 1883 01:11:25,189 --> 01:11:23,040 as a gold standard for what a cosmic ray 1884 01:11:29,390 --> 01:11:25,199 in the sky with the picture looks like 1885 01:11:31,070 --> 01:11:29,400 so a final a final analysis is being 1886 01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:31,080 done and we just have to wait for the 1887 01:11:35,930 --> 01:11:33,600 for the report to come out but I thought 1888 01:11:38,149 --> 01:11:35,940 it was interesting to show because some 1889 01:11:41,689 --> 01:11:38,159 people might just jump to conclusions 1890 01:11:45,229 --> 01:11:41,699 and say oh it's it's aliens or it's uh I 1891 01:11:47,149 --> 01:11:45,239 don't know uh UFOs but I think it's uh 1892 01:11:49,550 --> 01:11:47,159 it's also good to include those those 1893 01:11:51,950 --> 01:11:49,560 very mundane uh anomalies from camera 1894 01:11:53,950 --> 01:11:51,960 sensors as well yeah absolutely you know 1895 01:11:58,610 --> 01:11:53,960 it's a beautiful image absolutely so 1896 01:11:59,870 --> 01:11:58,620 fantastic let's jump across so we've got 1897 01:12:02,390 --> 01:11:59,880 two more 1898 01:12:03,770 --> 01:12:02,400 before we get to the final one 1899 01:12:06,590 --> 01:12:03,780 um 1900 01:12:08,330 --> 01:12:06,600 diffuse light over Germany a moving 1901 01:12:09,950 --> 01:12:08,340 light now I think this is the one that 1902 01:12:11,930 --> 01:12:09,960 we've got a video for as well that 1903 01:12:13,970 --> 01:12:11,940 you've shared with me on on YouTube is 1904 01:12:17,330 --> 01:12:13,980 that the one yeah 1905 01:12:19,669 --> 01:12:17,340 so let's uh Johnny let's watch the 1906 01:12:22,010 --> 01:12:19,679 video first sorry everyone I've got 1907 01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:22,020 multiple screens so I'm flip-flopping 1908 01:12:33,830 --> 01:12:24,480 from all sides of the thing 1909 01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:38,209 is a yeah 1910 01:12:45,290 --> 01:12:42,709 this is a series of uh maybe uh 30 or 40 1911 01:12:48,290 --> 01:12:45,300 pictures I took with a wide angle lens 1912 01:12:50,630 --> 01:12:48,300 uh basically letting it wrestle the 1913 01:12:52,490 --> 01:12:50,640 glare Shield against the front window of 1914 01:12:54,350 --> 01:12:52,500 the airplane so the black part you see 1915 01:12:55,970 --> 01:12:54,360 on the right hands and the lower corner 1916 01:12:58,910 --> 01:12:55,980 is basically the the nose of the 1917 01:13:01,070 --> 01:12:58,920 airplane and the window frame and um all 1918 01:13:02,689 --> 01:13:01,080 of a sudden we saw this yeah this is a 1919 01:13:04,850 --> 01:13:02,699 nice indication of how I position my 1920 01:13:06,709 --> 01:13:04,860 camera uh those are the instruments 1921 01:13:09,950 --> 01:13:06,719 below and that's my camera just pointing 1922 01:13:11,689 --> 01:13:09,960 up and uh I always call it a fire and 1923 01:13:13,330 --> 01:13:11,699 forget camera so I just press a button 1924 01:13:17,270 --> 01:13:13,340 and I'll just let it take 50 pictures 1925 01:13:19,610 --> 01:13:17,280 and hopefully there's a shooting star or 1926 01:13:21,709 --> 01:13:19,620 uh or a nice Milky Way visible in the 1927 01:13:23,630 --> 01:13:21,719 end so uh that's the setup and that's 1928 01:13:25,310 --> 01:13:23,640 how I took these pictures and all of a 1929 01:13:27,110 --> 01:13:25,320 sudden flying over Southern Germany we 1930 01:13:30,290 --> 01:13:27,120 saw this uh this really bright light 1931 01:13:32,270 --> 01:13:30,300 popping up from the left hand corner and 1932 01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:32,280 it was starting to Glow 1933 01:13:35,209 --> 01:13:34,080 it was Pure White by the way just a 1934 01:13:38,390 --> 01:13:35,219 white balance on the camera that's 1935 01:13:41,689 --> 01:13:38,400 making it look uh greenish 1936 01:13:43,910 --> 01:13:41,699 but the uh the light became kind of 1937 01:13:45,709 --> 01:13:43,920 diffuse and it started to Glow as it's 1938 01:13:48,890 --> 01:13:45,719 as it basically moved towards the North 1939 01:13:50,570 --> 01:13:48,900 and I've seen the ISS also millions of 1940 01:13:53,870 --> 01:13:50,580 times and I knew this was not the 1941 01:13:55,970 --> 01:13:53,880 standards orbit of the ISS 1942 01:13:57,410 --> 01:13:55,980 and we were really wondering what it was 1943 01:14:01,550 --> 01:13:57,420 because there were no notems there was 1944 01:14:04,850 --> 01:14:01,560 no message or information about any any 1945 01:14:06,350 --> 01:14:04,860 rocket launches or space debris you name 1946 01:14:08,390 --> 01:14:06,360 it 1947 01:14:09,950 --> 01:14:08,400 um so I was kind of Clueless and I was 1948 01:14:12,290 --> 01:14:09,960 really wondering what we what we saw 1949 01:14:14,450 --> 01:14:12,300 there I was pretty pretty sure and 1950 01:14:17,209 --> 01:14:14,460 convinced that what we saw was some sort 1951 01:14:19,669 --> 01:14:17,219 of a re-entry of of something especially 1952 01:14:23,270 --> 01:14:19,679 the the diffuse glow around it made me 1953 01:14:25,209 --> 01:14:23,280 uh realized it was probably a d orbit 1954 01:14:27,830 --> 01:14:25,219 like you sometimes see with SpaceX 1955 01:14:29,870 --> 01:14:27,840 boosters as well but it was on a 1956 01:14:32,630 --> 01:14:29,880 trajectory that didn't make any sense so 1957 01:14:34,550 --> 01:14:32,640 I posted it online and fortunately the 1958 01:14:37,910 --> 01:14:34,560 next day or maybe two days later there 1959 01:14:39,350 --> 01:14:37,920 was uh one gentleman uh Jonathan uh I 1960 01:14:40,850 --> 01:14:39,360 forgot his name you see it probably in 1961 01:14:42,250 --> 01:14:40,860 the next 1962 01:14:47,090 --> 01:14:42,260 yeah 1963 01:14:50,450 --> 01:14:47,100 um he wasn't even aware of my sighting 1964 01:14:54,370 --> 01:14:50,460 and he was keeping track of this angara 1965 01:14:57,290 --> 01:14:54,380 am d orbit apparently a Russian booster 1966 01:14:59,090 --> 01:14:57,300 and he drew that line that was the the 1967 01:15:02,870 --> 01:14:59,100 red line on the left that's the actual 1968 01:15:05,709 --> 01:15:02,880 track that the d-orbit made and uh it 1969 01:15:07,790 --> 01:15:05,719 completely correspondent 1970 01:15:09,110 --> 01:15:07,800 corresponds with the sighting that we 1971 01:15:11,030 --> 01:15:09,120 that we had 1972 01:15:12,649 --> 01:15:11,040 and this is also interesting because it 1973 01:15:15,729 --> 01:15:12,659 shows that we were flying over the Alps 1974 01:15:19,430 --> 01:15:15,739 just Southern Germany uh around uh 1975 01:15:21,830 --> 01:15:19,440 Austria and it kind of shows how far the 1976 01:15:23,510 --> 01:15:21,840 object is is away from us 1977 01:15:27,130 --> 01:15:23,520 um looking at the red line on the track 1978 01:15:29,990 --> 01:15:27,140 line on the uh on the European map so 1979 01:15:32,330 --> 01:15:30,000 that also shows how much we can actually 1980 01:15:34,550 --> 01:15:32,340 see from the cockpit so this object it 1981 01:15:36,410 --> 01:15:34,560 was probably what is it maybe two two 1982 01:15:39,169 --> 01:15:36,420 and a half thousand kilometers away when 1983 01:15:41,270 --> 01:15:39,179 it started to uh to de-orbit and it was 1984 01:15:44,110 --> 01:15:41,280 clearly visible to all of us in this 1985 01:15:46,490 --> 01:15:44,120 case I also contacted the um 1986 01:15:48,229 --> 01:15:46,500 air traffic controller asking if there 1987 01:15:49,850 --> 01:15:48,239 was any military activity or anything 1988 01:15:51,110 --> 01:15:49,860 going on 1989 01:15:52,970 --> 01:15:51,120 um he was not aware of any military 1990 01:15:55,430 --> 01:15:52,980 activity and he was just not not 1991 01:15:57,950 --> 01:15:55,440 interested and it makes sense because 1992 01:16:00,169 --> 01:15:57,960 the um yeah the object was so high in 1993 01:16:02,209 --> 01:16:00,179 the sky and it was a the orbit of 1994 01:16:04,370 --> 01:16:02,219 something that probably came in in the 1995 01:16:06,169 --> 01:16:04,380 ocean just around Pittsburgh or 1996 01:16:07,490 --> 01:16:06,179 something so it makes sense that the 1997 01:16:09,950 --> 01:16:07,500 German air traffic controller was not 1998 01:16:11,090 --> 01:16:09,960 aware of it yeah that's amazing it's 1999 01:16:12,950 --> 01:16:11,100 still again it's just another 2000 01:16:15,110 --> 01:16:12,960 fascinating photograph even having a 2001 01:16:19,070 --> 01:16:15,120 prosaic explanation so 2002 01:16:21,530 --> 01:16:19,080 yeah another great uh great case now one 2003 01:16:22,729 --> 01:16:21,540 more I think of the uh of these and this 2004 01:16:24,770 --> 01:16:22,739 is one that I think is quite important 2005 01:16:27,169 --> 01:16:24,780 because these often get mistaken for 2006 01:16:28,970 --> 01:16:27,179 UFOs or anomalous things and this is 2007 01:16:31,790 --> 01:16:28,980 starlink satellites 2008 01:16:33,350 --> 01:16:31,800 so we've got a couple of images here 2009 01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:33,360 so yeah if you want to talk us through 2010 01:16:36,890 --> 01:16:35,040 them I mean what's that been like since 2011 01:16:39,290 --> 01:16:36,900 they've become a thing in the sky is it 2012 01:16:42,229 --> 01:16:39,300 is it something you have seen a lot of 2013 01:16:43,669 --> 01:16:42,239 times yeah many times many times uh the 2014 01:16:47,510 --> 01:16:43,679 first time I saw them uh it was actually 2015 01:16:48,890 --> 01:16:47,520 from my old back backyard uh it's it's 2016 01:16:51,470 --> 01:16:48,900 really fascinating to know that 2017 01:16:54,229 --> 01:16:51,480 something is is so high up in the sky uh 2018 01:16:56,450 --> 01:16:54,239 and it's it looks so uh weird so there's 2019 01:16:57,649 --> 01:16:56,460 this little train of Lights 2020 01:16:59,810 --> 01:16:57,659 um then I saw them a couple of times 2021 01:17:02,930 --> 01:16:59,820 from the air as well and it's it's so 2022 01:17:04,850 --> 01:17:02,940 easy to identify them as uh as man-made 2023 01:17:06,830 --> 01:17:04,860 and as or at least as as probably 2024 01:17:08,750 --> 01:17:06,840 man-made and in this case also Starling 2025 01:17:10,850 --> 01:17:08,760 satellites it's not only the little 2026 01:17:14,090 --> 01:17:10,860 train of Lights which is uh which is 2027 01:17:16,970 --> 01:17:14,100 typical for starlink but also the speed 2028 01:17:18,770 --> 01:17:16,980 and the way they move it's uh it's 2029 01:17:21,110 --> 01:17:18,780 typical for a man-made object in low 2030 01:17:22,850 --> 01:17:21,120 earth orbits so let's say three or four 2031 01:17:25,010 --> 01:17:22,860 hundred kilometers high it's just like 2032 01:17:27,110 --> 01:17:25,020 the ISS it always moves at a constant 2033 01:17:29,330 --> 01:17:27,120 speed basically because of orbital 2034 01:17:31,250 --> 01:17:29,340 mechanics you can calculate the speeds 2035 01:17:33,410 --> 01:17:31,260 per altitude and the lowest low earth 2036 01:17:36,250 --> 01:17:33,420 stable over is around four at I think 2037 01:17:39,470 --> 01:17:36,260 350 or 450 kilometers 2038 01:17:41,870 --> 01:17:39,480 so you see on the speed and the Really 2039 01:17:44,630 --> 01:17:41,880 constant trajectory that it's a man-made 2040 01:17:46,250 --> 01:17:44,640 object in low earth orbit and uh yeah 2041 01:17:49,010 --> 01:17:46,260 it's it's uh it's a pretty common site 2042 01:17:52,010 --> 01:17:49,020 and nowadays actually in general uh the 2043 01:17:54,590 --> 01:17:52,020 satellites are are very common 2044 01:17:56,390 --> 01:17:54,600 um there are counters of satellites in 2045 01:17:59,450 --> 01:17:56,400 the air and starlink is is really one of 2046 01:18:01,790 --> 01:17:59,460 the typical ones that really show up 2047 01:18:03,950 --> 01:18:01,800 yeah a couple of times people tell me so 2048 01:18:05,810 --> 01:18:03,960 when you see something interesting from 2049 01:18:08,510 --> 01:18:05,820 the air it's just probably starlink 2050 01:18:09,830 --> 01:18:08,520 I think no well most most of the 2051 01:18:11,390 --> 01:18:09,840 interesting stuff I've seen was in the 2052 01:18:14,709 --> 01:18:11,400 beginning years of my career as long 2053 01:18:18,530 --> 01:18:14,719 before SpaceX was even found it and uh 2054 01:18:19,370 --> 01:18:18,540 for me as a as a as a pilot 2055 01:18:23,510 --> 01:18:19,380 um 2056 01:18:25,610 --> 01:18:23,520 satellites and I I know startling so 2057 01:18:28,729 --> 01:18:25,620 it's I just included these pictures just 2058 01:18:31,070 --> 01:18:28,739 to show that um there are some really uh 2059 01:18:32,810 --> 01:18:31,080 mundane and and project things as well 2060 01:18:35,270 --> 01:18:32,820 which are pretty cool as well what a way 2061 01:18:37,189 --> 01:18:35,280 to see yeah absolutely well they're 2062 01:18:38,930 --> 01:18:37,199 they're again fantastic great 2063 01:18:41,630 --> 01:18:38,940 photographs those Stars it's just the 2064 01:18:42,890 --> 01:18:41,640 beauty of it all that that is amazing to 2065 01:18:44,930 --> 01:18:42,900 look at 2066 01:18:47,149 --> 01:18:44,940 right then let's move on to this Spain 2067 01:18:50,330 --> 01:18:47,159 case because this was like you know one 2068 01:18:52,130 --> 01:18:50,340 that you really sat laid out in detail 2069 01:18:54,169 --> 01:18:52,140 um and we've had it here behind us for 2070 01:18:56,330 --> 01:18:54,179 the whole time with this very very small 2071 01:18:58,610 --> 01:18:56,340 object that you can see here a little 2072 01:19:01,669 --> 01:18:58,620 Easter egg a little Easter egg yeah and 2073 01:19:03,169 --> 01:19:01,679 I put out the photograph today on my on 2074 01:19:04,729 --> 01:19:03,179 the little article that the sort of 2075 01:19:05,630 --> 01:19:04,739 companion article I did alongside this 2076 01:19:08,090 --> 01:19:05,640 interview 2077 01:19:10,189 --> 01:19:08,100 um and yeah so 2078 01:19:12,410 --> 01:19:10,199 let's bring up 2079 01:19:14,270 --> 01:19:12,420 let's start I mean 2080 01:19:18,110 --> 01:19:14,280 to everyone this is 2081 01:19:20,030 --> 01:19:18,120 gonna just look like a normal sky 2082 01:19:22,189 --> 01:19:20,040 and this is the first image that you 2083 01:19:24,830 --> 01:19:22,199 took isn't it I can't even see it yeah 2084 01:19:26,450 --> 01:19:24,840 it's just uh literally the raw image as 2085 01:19:27,470 --> 01:19:26,460 it came from the camera no editing 2086 01:19:29,750 --> 01:19:27,480 nothing 2087 01:19:31,250 --> 01:19:29,760 I mean that's again and yeah when you 2088 01:19:34,010 --> 01:19:31,260 zoom in it's not obviously not that 2089 01:19:35,930 --> 01:19:34,020 clear it's so under roaming I'm the 2090 01:19:39,649 --> 01:19:35,940 first the first two minutes it's 2091 01:19:41,450 --> 01:19:39,659 extremely underwhelming but uh the 2092 01:19:44,810 --> 01:19:41,460 context around it it's it's making the 2093 01:19:47,390 --> 01:19:44,820 image interesting and yes absolutely 2094 01:19:50,270 --> 01:19:47,400 yeah so this is the image this is the 2095 01:19:53,750 --> 01:19:50,280 the Spain image uh let me see this was 2096 01:19:55,490 --> 01:19:53,760 January 23rd 2010. 2097 01:19:58,970 --> 01:19:55,500 um I was still taking pictures with my 2098 01:20:01,070 --> 01:19:58,980 uh Nikon d200s which is uh almost a 2099 01:20:03,470 --> 01:20:01,080 potato in comparison with my present 2100 01:20:05,870 --> 01:20:03,480 equipment I just wished I had better 2101 01:20:08,810 --> 01:20:05,880 equipment back then but that's how it is 2102 01:20:11,810 --> 01:20:08,820 we were flying with a Boeing 737 from 2103 01:20:14,209 --> 01:20:11,820 Amsterdam to Malaga in the southern part 2104 01:20:17,270 --> 01:20:14,219 of Spain and uh as you can see it was 2105 01:20:19,010 --> 01:20:17,280 just after sunset uh the clouds you can 2106 01:20:20,689 --> 01:20:19,020 see actually on the on the formation of 2107 01:20:22,610 --> 01:20:20,699 the clouds it's all layered it's very 2108 01:20:24,229 --> 01:20:22,620 stable whether there's no thunderstorms 2109 01:20:26,750 --> 01:20:24,239 it's there's not a lot of vertical 2110 01:20:27,890 --> 01:20:26,760 activity in the sky there's no no no no 2111 01:20:30,410 --> 01:20:27,900 no 2112 01:20:32,209 --> 01:20:30,420 CBS or thunderstorms or cumulus clouds 2113 01:20:32,870 --> 01:20:32,219 you name it 2114 01:20:35,630 --> 01:20:32,880 um 2115 01:20:38,450 --> 01:20:35,640 we entered the Spanish airspace and the 2116 01:20:41,330 --> 01:20:38,460 moment we contacted Madrid Air Traffic 2117 01:20:44,330 --> 01:20:41,340 Control they control the upper airspace 2118 01:20:47,450 --> 01:20:44,340 in Spain uh the controller clears direct 2119 01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:47,460 to uh position Carisa which is just 2120 01:20:52,790 --> 01:20:50,940 North of Malaga so in other words uh we 2121 01:20:54,830 --> 01:20:52,800 were we were clear to leave the official 2122 01:20:57,050 --> 01:20:54,840 Airways and just continue in a direct 2123 01:20:59,390 --> 01:20:57,060 line to the airport of Malaga which 2124 01:21:01,910 --> 01:20:59,400 saves us time and Fuel and that makes 2125 01:21:03,649 --> 01:21:01,920 life much easier that was also because 2126 01:21:04,850 --> 01:21:03,659 we were the only airplane in the sky 2127 01:21:06,709 --> 01:21:04,860 more or less especially in those 2128 01:21:09,530 --> 01:21:06,719 altitudes because the airspace is 2129 01:21:11,510 --> 01:21:09,540 cleared as close sorry it's empty it 2130 01:21:13,910 --> 01:21:11,520 could clear US Direct to uh to one of 2131 01:21:17,270 --> 01:21:13,920 those points and everyone is happy 2132 01:21:19,430 --> 01:21:17,280 so it was still about 15 minutes of uh 2133 01:21:22,970 --> 01:21:19,440 flying left if I'm not mistaken 45 50 2134 01:21:25,370 --> 01:21:22,980 minutes and uh we were already about 10 2135 01:21:28,189 --> 01:21:25,380 minutes direct course to Malaga when my 2136 01:21:30,350 --> 01:21:28,199 colleague my captain ex and navy pilot 2137 01:21:32,810 --> 01:21:30,360 he suddenly asked me if I see the same 2138 01:21:35,930 --> 01:21:32,820 little thing in the sky so I'm I'm 2139 01:21:37,729 --> 01:21:35,940 starting to look outside and I saw this 2140 01:21:40,550 --> 01:21:37,739 little dark 2141 01:21:42,229 --> 01:21:40,560 objects as well and for about 10 minutes 2142 01:21:45,350 --> 01:21:42,239 we were really wondering what we were 2143 01:21:48,169 --> 01:21:45,360 seeing because uh we were flying at 41 2144 01:21:51,050 --> 01:21:48,179 000 feet which is uh even for commercial 2145 01:21:52,729 --> 01:21:51,060 traffic quite High 2146 01:21:54,830 --> 01:21:52,739 um there are so there is commercial 2147 01:21:58,430 --> 01:21:54,840 traffic that's flying higher than than 2148 01:22:01,610 --> 01:21:58,440 us mostly small business Jets like Gulf 2149 01:22:04,010 --> 01:22:01,620 streams and you name it but most 2150 01:22:06,590 --> 01:22:04,020 airliners most the most passenger 2151 01:22:08,450 --> 01:22:06,600 airliners they fly much lower and the 2152 01:22:11,030 --> 01:22:08,460 object we saw as you can see it's 2153 01:22:14,090 --> 01:22:11,040 clearly above the Horizon and it's uh 2154 01:22:15,590 --> 01:22:14,100 it's above us pretty far above us and 2155 01:22:17,689 --> 01:22:15,600 it's uh it's within the atmosphere 2156 01:22:20,750 --> 01:22:17,699 objects that are outside of the 2157 01:22:22,850 --> 01:22:20,760 atmosphere they will reflect lights so 2158 01:22:25,430 --> 01:22:22,860 let's say if you see another planet or 2159 01:22:26,930 --> 01:22:25,440 you see the ISS or starlink 2160 01:22:28,370 --> 01:22:26,940 um they only show up because they 2161 01:22:30,530 --> 01:22:28,380 reflect the light from either the moon 2162 01:22:32,570 --> 01:22:30,540 or the Sun so they show up as a bright 2163 01:22:34,850 --> 01:22:32,580 spot but if it's within our atmosphere 2164 01:22:36,830 --> 01:22:34,860 it will basically block the light so you 2165 01:22:38,870 --> 01:22:36,840 will see the shadow side of the objects 2166 01:22:40,430 --> 01:22:38,880 and this object objects as you can 2167 01:22:42,110 --> 01:22:40,440 clearly see it's within our atmosphere 2168 01:22:44,630 --> 01:22:42,120 because you see the shadow side of it 2169 01:22:46,610 --> 01:22:44,640 yeah and it had a really weird shape 2170 01:22:48,590 --> 01:22:46,620 this is also the shape as I would see it 2171 01:22:50,870 --> 01:22:48,600 with the naked eye mind you I normally I 2172 01:22:53,630 --> 01:22:50,880 wear glasses so maybe that's why it's a 2173 01:22:57,350 --> 01:22:53,640 bit blurry but uh this is this is the 2174 01:22:59,450 --> 01:22:57,360 exact shape as we saw with the naked eye 2175 01:23:01,189 --> 01:22:59,460 um so for almost 50 minutes we were 2176 01:23:04,250 --> 01:23:01,199 flying straight to Malaga and this 2177 01:23:07,550 --> 01:23:04,260 object was smack dead home 2178 01:23:10,729 --> 01:23:07,560 far ahead of us just directly in our in 2179 01:23:13,130 --> 01:23:10,739 our line of sights and it didn't move it 2180 01:23:15,050 --> 01:23:13,140 didn't move uh laterally left or right 2181 01:23:17,209 --> 01:23:15,060 of our track it didn't seem to move 2182 01:23:19,550 --> 01:23:17,219 towards us so far from it it didn't move 2183 01:23:22,130 --> 01:23:19,560 up and down it was completely and 2184 01:23:25,729 --> 01:23:22,140 absolutely stable 2185 01:23:28,790 --> 01:23:25,739 um and since we saw it exactly the same 2186 01:23:31,370 --> 01:23:28,800 size same shape and same position for 2187 01:23:34,490 --> 01:23:31,380 almost one hour straight from almost the 2188 01:23:37,610 --> 01:23:34,500 northern part of Spain to uh almost 20 2189 01:23:39,830 --> 01:23:37,620 000 feet in the descent into Malaga it 2190 01:23:41,330 --> 01:23:39,840 didn't change at all so either it was 2191 01:23:43,610 --> 01:23:41,340 pretty far ahead of us and it was just 2192 01:23:46,070 --> 01:23:43,620 moving at the same speed or it must have 2193 01:23:48,470 --> 01:23:46,080 been a massive object absolutely 2194 01:23:50,689 --> 01:23:48,480 massive really really really far ahead 2195 01:23:52,430 --> 01:23:50,699 of us right so we were just 2196 01:23:54,590 --> 01:23:52,440 contemplating about it and wondering and 2197 01:23:56,390 --> 01:23:54,600 I decided to ask the uh the Spanish 2198 01:23:58,310 --> 01:23:56,400 military sorry the Spanish air traffic 2199 01:24:00,470 --> 01:23:58,320 controller if there was any traffic 2200 01:24:02,930 --> 01:24:00,480 ahead of us because we've never seen 2201 01:24:06,290 --> 01:24:02,940 such a strain strange airplane before 2202 01:24:08,270 --> 01:24:06,300 and he immediately he told me that no we 2203 01:24:11,030 --> 01:24:08,280 were the only one as far as he knew in 2204 01:24:12,709 --> 01:24:11,040 the airspace 40 000 feet or above and he 2205 01:24:14,149 --> 01:24:12,719 was wondering what we saw so I explained 2206 01:24:16,250 --> 01:24:14,159 to him we see this object it's there 2207 01:24:18,649 --> 01:24:16,260 already for 10 minutes and uh seems to 2208 01:24:20,030 --> 01:24:18,659 be pretty big airplane ahead of us and 2209 01:24:22,910 --> 01:24:20,040 immediately and this was really 2210 01:24:25,010 --> 01:24:22,920 interesting he immediately uh asked me 2211 01:24:26,630 --> 01:24:25,020 to contact the military air traffic 2212 01:24:28,370 --> 01:24:26,640 controller the Spanish military air 2213 01:24:31,189 --> 01:24:28,380 traffic controller on a dedicated 2214 01:24:32,390 --> 01:24:31,199 frequency so my captain he took over the 2215 01:24:34,370 --> 01:24:32,400 radio just a normal air traffic 2216 01:24:35,990 --> 01:24:34,380 controller and I took the second feature 2217 01:24:38,030 --> 01:24:36,000 of radio and I got a dedicated frequency 2218 01:24:41,030 --> 01:24:38,040 and I started calling the military air 2219 01:24:43,189 --> 01:24:41,040 traffic controller and this guy was 2220 01:24:44,930 --> 01:24:43,199 absolutely interested in what we saw he 2221 01:24:48,229 --> 01:24:44,940 was not dismissing it he was he was not 2222 01:24:51,470 --> 01:24:48,239 telling me ah what you see is a swamp 2223 01:24:54,050 --> 01:24:51,480 gas or uh no he was he was absolutely 2224 01:24:57,649 --> 01:24:54,060 interested in what we saw so I explained 2225 01:25:00,470 --> 01:24:57,659 it to him and um he confirmed to me that 2226 01:25:01,990 --> 01:25:00,480 there was absolutely no civil or 2227 01:25:05,090 --> 01:25:02,000 military 2228 01:25:08,229 --> 01:25:05,100 traffic or objects in the sky no weather 2229 01:25:11,209 --> 01:25:08,239 balloons absolutely nothing and he was 2230 01:25:12,890 --> 01:25:11,219 he was really interested in what we saw 2231 01:25:14,870 --> 01:25:12,900 and 2232 01:25:16,430 --> 01:25:14,880 um yeah that I have no clue if they did 2233 01:25:18,350 --> 01:25:16,440 anything with it I never filed a report 2234 01:25:20,270 --> 01:25:18,360 I have no clue what I what I could do 2235 01:25:22,430 --> 01:25:20,280 should do with something like this but 2236 01:25:25,310 --> 01:25:22,440 what struck me is that we first of all 2237 01:25:28,430 --> 01:25:25,320 we saw it for over an hour it must have 2238 01:25:29,750 --> 01:25:28,440 been ahead of us uh I it didn't change 2239 01:25:30,000 --> 01:25:29,760 any 2240 01:25:31,370 --> 01:25:30,010 um 2241 01:25:35,090 --> 01:25:31,380 [Music] 2242 01:25:36,590 --> 01:25:35,100 uh lateral vertical uh how do you say 2243 01:25:39,530 --> 01:25:36,600 this it did it it didn't change its 2244 01:25:41,990 --> 01:25:39,540 position from us at all and uh it must 2245 01:25:44,330 --> 01:25:42,000 have been within our atmosphere plus it 2246 01:25:45,830 --> 01:25:44,340 was confirmed to me by the military and 2247 01:25:48,830 --> 01:25:45,840 the civil air traffic controller there 2248 01:25:52,189 --> 01:25:48,840 was absolutely no traffic over Spain 2249 01:25:54,830 --> 01:25:52,199 so that leaves me wondering what it is 2250 01:25:56,450 --> 01:25:54,840 um I never took this picture uh very 2251 01:25:58,129 --> 01:25:56,460 serious I must say 2252 01:26:00,410 --> 01:25:58,139 um I have it in my database like all my 2253 01:26:02,090 --> 01:26:00,420 pictures and I I was thinking about it 2254 01:26:04,970 --> 01:26:02,100 every once in a while just hoping to get 2255 01:26:07,850 --> 01:26:04,980 a an explanation for maybe a military 2256 01:26:10,430 --> 01:26:07,860 test flight or anything funny 2257 01:26:11,450 --> 01:26:10,440 um up to the uh as I said before up to 2258 01:26:13,810 --> 01:26:11,460 the uh 2259 01:26:18,649 --> 01:26:13,820 interviews uh of a commander David 2260 01:26:19,970 --> 01:26:18,659 fraver and later on Mr Elizondo and I 2261 01:26:21,830 --> 01:26:19,980 realized that there might be more to 2262 01:26:23,149 --> 01:26:21,840 this picture than I initially thought 2263 01:26:25,310 --> 01:26:23,159 especially because air traffic 2264 01:26:26,689 --> 01:26:25,320 controller confirmed to us there was no 2265 01:26:29,149 --> 01:26:26,699 traffic 2266 01:26:32,270 --> 01:26:29,159 um long story shorts I've asked Mr 2267 01:26:34,729 --> 01:26:32,280 Antonio Cuisine from ipako to analyze 2268 01:26:36,850 --> 01:26:34,739 this image as well and as we speak the 2269 01:26:40,610 --> 01:26:36,860 image is being analyzed and now 2270 01:26:46,149 --> 01:26:40,620 analyzing also the clouds in the in the 2271 01:26:49,430 --> 01:26:46,159 foreground to try and get a distance 2272 01:26:52,209 --> 01:26:49,440 distance versus size measurement on the 2273 01:26:55,070 --> 01:26:52,219 objects uh it might take a while because 2274 01:26:56,570 --> 01:26:55,080 Mr cousin is very busy he's also working 2275 01:26:59,090 --> 01:26:56,580 for gaipan and they have a couple of 2276 01:27:00,470 --> 01:26:59,100 really big cases they're working on 2277 01:27:03,290 --> 01:27:00,480 um by the way he might be an interesting 2278 01:27:05,390 --> 01:27:03,300 guest for your uh show as well because 2279 01:27:07,250 --> 01:27:05,400 these guys are very down to earth and 2280 01:27:09,950 --> 01:27:07,260 they they make a living out of analyzing 2281 01:27:11,930 --> 01:27:09,960 these images professionally 2282 01:27:13,970 --> 01:27:11,940 um but yeah he's he's very interested in 2283 01:27:15,649 --> 01:27:13,980 this image and he's now uh processing it 2284 01:27:17,750 --> 01:27:15,659 and the moment the report comes out so I 2285 01:27:20,030 --> 01:27:17,760 will let you know and and yeah and see 2286 01:27:23,510 --> 01:27:20,040 what it is but yeah I have no clue what 2287 01:27:26,209 --> 01:27:23,520 it is and this one yeah I bought a an AI 2288 01:27:27,770 --> 01:27:26,219 uh image enhancer because uh sometimes I 2289 01:27:29,450 --> 01:27:27,780 have some really crappy pictures uh 2290 01:27:30,350 --> 01:27:29,460 taken with the potato that I want to 2291 01:27:32,330 --> 01:27:30,360 enhance 2292 01:27:36,110 --> 01:27:32,340 and I decided to 2293 01:27:38,450 --> 01:27:36,120 um to to basically let the AI do its 2294 01:27:40,250 --> 01:27:38,460 work on this object as well so this is 2295 01:27:42,850 --> 01:27:40,260 not the photo as it came out of the 2296 01:27:46,430 --> 01:27:42,860 camera this was just enhanced with a 2297 01:27:48,169 --> 01:27:46,440 digital image enhancer right I just let 2298 01:27:50,510 --> 01:27:48,179 it run its automatic algorithm and it 2299 01:27:52,790 --> 01:27:50,520 came up with this so 2300 01:27:55,250 --> 01:27:52,800 um this is an image enhancement done by 2301 01:27:58,790 --> 01:27:55,260 the computer based on AI and I'm not 2302 01:28:01,790 --> 01:27:58,800 sure if it's uh if it's uh uh showing 2303 01:28:05,270 --> 01:28:01,800 the actual object and I've shown this up 2304 01:28:07,790 --> 01:28:05,280 this uh AI file to Mr cuisine as well 2305 01:28:10,430 --> 01:28:07,800 and he was very interested in this uh in 2306 01:28:12,110 --> 01:28:10,440 this shape and size it looks like a 2307 01:28:14,330 --> 01:28:12,120 cigar shape 2308 01:28:16,370 --> 01:28:14,340 um with the rounded edges it's also what 2309 01:28:17,750 --> 01:28:16,380 we saw with the naked eye 2310 01:28:19,970 --> 01:28:17,760 um 2311 01:28:22,189 --> 01:28:19,980 it doesn't it doesn't look like a 2312 01:28:23,450 --> 01:28:22,199 contrail we would look uh sometimes when 2313 01:28:24,490 --> 01:28:23,460 there's an aircraft ahead of you you 2314 01:28:26,810 --> 01:28:24,500 look in the back of its control 2315 01:28:29,330 --> 01:28:26,820 especially if it's a heavy airplane like 2316 01:28:30,350 --> 01:28:29,340 a triple or a semaphore you see the 2317 01:28:33,890 --> 01:28:30,360 typical 2318 01:28:35,270 --> 01:28:33,900 um two circles dissipating slowly uh 2319 01:28:37,129 --> 01:28:35,280 well normally you see them for maybe two 2320 01:28:38,450 --> 01:28:37,139 or three minutes if you fly behind them 2321 01:28:40,910 --> 01:28:38,460 and then they dissipate or they 2322 01:28:43,129 --> 01:28:40,920 completely change because the cold 2323 01:28:45,890 --> 01:28:43,139 Trails constantly dissipate and grow 2324 01:28:47,930 --> 01:28:45,900 depending on the on the air density and 2325 01:28:49,669 --> 01:28:47,940 the tier density with the temperature 2326 01:28:52,970 --> 01:28:49,679 and the 2327 01:28:55,550 --> 01:28:52,980 um uh saturation of the air in this case 2328 01:28:58,189 --> 01:28:55,560 it was stable and it doesn't look at all 2329 01:29:00,530 --> 01:28:58,199 like uh like a culture we're looking at 2330 01:29:03,110 --> 01:29:00,540 so 2331 01:29:05,750 --> 01:29:03,120 yeah that's uh that's the mystery we 2332 01:29:07,490 --> 01:29:05,760 have uh we have to find a solution for 2333 01:29:10,430 --> 01:29:07,500 right now and I'm I'm really looking 2334 01:29:13,310 --> 01:29:10,440 forward to the final uh reports from uh 2335 01:29:14,870 --> 01:29:13,320 from ibako to see what they come up with 2336 01:29:16,729 --> 01:29:14,880 um I would love to to know what it is 2337 01:29:18,649 --> 01:29:16,739 maybe it's uh 2338 01:29:20,930 --> 01:29:18,659 something military could be it would be 2339 01:29:22,610 --> 01:29:20,940 interesting because uh 2340 01:29:24,649 --> 01:29:22,620 um even from an aeronautical perspective 2341 01:29:27,290 --> 01:29:24,659 it would be interesting to to to see 2342 01:29:29,030 --> 01:29:27,300 what kind of an airplane or or drone or 2343 01:29:30,950 --> 01:29:29,040 whatever it is might be it might be 2344 01:29:33,110 --> 01:29:30,960 flying around there at those altitudes 2345 01:29:35,770 --> 01:29:33,120 and maybe it's something else I don't 2346 01:29:38,270 --> 01:29:35,780 know it will be interesting to uh to see 2347 01:29:40,490 --> 01:29:38,280 absolutely and like you said it's just 2348 01:29:41,870 --> 01:29:40,500 amazing that you know you got in touch 2349 01:29:43,490 --> 01:29:41,880 with air traffic control immediately 2350 01:29:45,950 --> 01:29:43,500 onto military Air Traffic Control he 2351 01:29:48,649 --> 01:29:45,960 took it seriously and confirmed that 2352 01:29:51,110 --> 01:29:48,659 there was nothing military or civilian 2353 01:29:52,850 --> 01:29:51,120 in the airspace so like you said it 2354 01:29:54,530 --> 01:29:52,860 could be military and they could just be 2355 01:29:55,850 --> 01:29:54,540 testing something top secret and they 2356 01:29:58,070 --> 01:29:55,860 can't tell you that something there but 2357 01:30:00,590 --> 01:29:58,080 it's I mean that's that causes an air 2358 01:30:03,530 --> 01:30:00,600 safety question then doesn't it exactly 2359 01:30:05,030 --> 01:30:03,540 and uh well that's also uh good to keep 2360 01:30:07,370 --> 01:30:05,040 in mind that 2361 01:30:09,470 --> 01:30:07,380 um I think it's it would be so nice if 2362 01:30:10,910 --> 01:30:09,480 more pilots start coming out with these 2363 01:30:12,830 --> 01:30:10,920 kind of sightings because there's 2364 01:30:13,790 --> 01:30:12,840 clearly an air safety aspect to it as 2365 01:30:15,590 --> 01:30:13,800 well 2366 01:30:17,870 --> 01:30:15,600 um I hopefully I've been able to 2367 01:30:21,649 --> 01:30:17,880 demonstrate that I'm not out here to to 2368 01:30:23,209 --> 01:30:21,659 document the uh the unexpected or to uh 2369 01:30:25,129 --> 01:30:23,219 to make an interesting story out of 2370 01:30:26,930 --> 01:30:25,139 something mundane 2371 01:30:28,729 --> 01:30:26,940 um I take pictures from the Moon and 2372 01:30:30,169 --> 01:30:28,739 these clouds all the time and I think 2373 01:30:33,649 --> 01:30:30,179 with these kind of 2374 01:30:35,390 --> 01:30:33,659 um uh sightings it shows uh that it's 2375 01:30:36,590 --> 01:30:35,400 important to to to keep a look at for 2376 01:30:40,490 --> 01:30:36,600 all the things that are there and that 2377 01:30:43,490 --> 01:30:40,500 we even uh myself as a as a as a 2378 01:30:45,470 --> 01:30:43,500 professional as a 747 Captain uh trusted 2379 01:30:47,870 --> 01:30:45,480 with the safety of my airplane I cannot 2380 01:30:50,930 --> 01:30:47,880 explain and and I think it's very 2381 01:30:53,209 --> 01:30:50,940 important to to keep that aspect in mind 2382 01:30:55,189 --> 01:30:53,219 um in general I think Pilots most of the 2383 01:30:58,610 --> 01:30:55,199 pilots are trained observers we know 2384 01:31:00,169 --> 01:30:58,620 what we see we have spent a lot of time 2385 01:31:02,590 --> 01:31:00,179 and money on our training and our 2386 01:31:05,390 --> 01:31:02,600 selection of our of our people 2387 01:31:07,129 --> 01:31:05,400 to do their job in the air so and as I 2388 01:31:09,649 --> 01:31:07,139 said before the moment I see something 2389 01:31:11,570 --> 01:31:09,659 the first thing that comes to mind is 2390 01:31:13,430 --> 01:31:11,580 um is this going to be affecting the 2391 01:31:15,890 --> 01:31:13,440 safety of my airplane is it a weather 2392 01:31:18,229 --> 01:31:15,900 phenomena is it something military is it 2393 01:31:20,750 --> 01:31:18,239 other traffic is it maybe even a weather 2394 01:31:22,310 --> 01:31:20,760 balloon whatever it is I want to know 2395 01:31:23,870 --> 01:31:22,320 what it is so 2396 01:31:26,830 --> 01:31:23,880 um yeah I think that's the first step to 2397 01:31:29,030 --> 01:31:26,840 uh to to identifying the problem and 2398 01:31:31,129 --> 01:31:29,040 actually today on Twitter I don't know 2399 01:31:32,870 --> 01:31:31,139 who it was but someone suggested to 2400 01:31:35,570 --> 01:31:32,880 contact 2401 01:31:37,250 --> 01:31:35,580 UM knock up was it narca that was it and 2402 01:31:39,649 --> 01:31:37,260 honestly I never heard about it 2403 01:31:42,890 --> 01:31:39,659 organization before I looked it up just 2404 01:31:44,689 --> 01:31:42,900 after dinner tonight and a very valuable 2405 01:31:45,770 --> 01:31:44,699 suggestion I'm going to contact them as 2406 01:31:47,209 --> 01:31:45,780 well 2407 01:31:49,669 --> 01:31:47,219 um I'm probably going to contact them 2408 01:31:52,129 --> 01:31:49,679 and and see if they can analyze the the 2409 01:31:53,870 --> 01:31:52,139 photo over Spain as well 2410 01:31:55,970 --> 01:31:53,880 um because even though it's a very 2411 01:31:58,570 --> 01:31:55,980 underwhelming photo with the with the 2412 01:32:00,770 --> 01:31:58,580 rest of the the context around it 2413 01:32:03,129 --> 01:32:00,780 I think it makes for an interesting 2414 01:32:05,330 --> 01:32:03,139 analysis and 2415 01:32:08,149 --> 01:32:05,340 yeah you know actually I would also hope 2416 01:32:10,550 --> 01:32:08,159 that an organization like like narka 2417 01:32:12,290 --> 01:32:10,560 would be more known to to other Pilots 2418 01:32:14,090 --> 01:32:12,300 as well because 2419 01:32:16,250 --> 01:32:14,100 as I said a lot of my colleagues have 2420 01:32:19,189 --> 01:32:16,260 come forward privately with some really 2421 01:32:22,430 --> 01:32:19,199 interesting uh really really interesting 2422 01:32:25,010 --> 01:32:22,440 experiences and it would be nice if we 2423 01:32:29,270 --> 01:32:25,020 would be able even anonymously but even 2424 01:32:31,669 --> 01:32:29,280 be able to to have a have a place where 2425 01:32:34,070 --> 01:32:31,679 we can just report these things and and 2426 01:32:36,410 --> 01:32:34,080 make up a database maybe even though 99 2427 01:32:39,050 --> 01:32:36,420 of them are completely explainable and 2428 01:32:40,189 --> 01:32:39,060 mundane maybe that one percent will make 2429 01:32:41,870 --> 01:32:40,199 a difference 2430 01:32:44,209 --> 01:32:41,880 absolutely yeah 2431 01:32:45,770 --> 01:32:44,219 uh and by all means I'll uh you know 2432 01:32:48,350 --> 01:32:45,780 obviously we'll stay in touch and I have 2433 01:32:49,970 --> 01:32:48,360 possibly a few Avenues we can possibly 2434 01:32:51,050 --> 01:32:49,980 get extra analysis done on the 2435 01:32:52,970 --> 01:32:51,060 photograph because obviously the more 2436 01:32:54,770 --> 01:32:52,980 eyes on it and looking at it the better 2437 01:32:58,669 --> 01:32:54,780 for for an outcome really so we'll 2438 01:33:00,530 --> 01:32:58,679 discuss that oh yeah yeah 2439 01:33:03,169 --> 01:33:00,540 so yeah I mean that was an absolutely 2440 01:33:04,970 --> 01:33:03,179 fascinating looking at all of those 2441 01:33:07,610 --> 01:33:04,980 cases you know even the the obvious 2442 01:33:09,770 --> 01:33:07,620 prosaic ones because it does just show 2443 01:33:12,110 --> 01:33:09,780 what's out there and and it but it also 2444 01:33:14,629 --> 01:33:12,120 shows your discernment and the the 2445 01:33:16,070 --> 01:33:14,639 detail that the the you require of 2446 01:33:18,169 --> 01:33:16,080 yourself and the way you look at things 2447 01:33:20,030 --> 01:33:18,179 I think it's really important and I hope 2448 01:33:21,169 --> 01:33:20,040 well I can see it from a lot of the 2449 01:33:22,850 --> 01:33:21,179 comments I've been reading that people 2450 01:33:24,169 --> 01:33:22,860 have been really interested in in 2451 01:33:25,850 --> 01:33:24,179 everything that you've shown here today 2452 01:33:28,010 --> 01:33:25,860 so so I can't thank you enough for 2453 01:33:29,870 --> 01:33:28,020 coming forward it really does mean a lot 2454 01:33:31,790 --> 01:33:29,880 yeah well that's that's wonderful to 2455 01:33:33,890 --> 01:33:31,800 hear and uh 2456 01:33:36,890 --> 01:33:33,900 um yeah I I hopefully I've been able to 2457 01:33:38,450 --> 01:33:36,900 to balance out the uh uh the story 2458 01:33:40,189 --> 01:33:38,460 because 2459 01:33:42,169 --> 01:33:40,199 um it's easy to to jump to conclusions 2460 01:33:44,149 --> 01:33:42,179 and say ah this this pilot just took a 2461 01:33:47,030 --> 01:33:44,159 blurry picture and he's saying it's uh 2462 01:33:49,010 --> 01:33:47,040 it's something uh special now I I I I 2463 01:33:51,770 --> 01:33:49,020 know what I'm seeing 2464 01:33:53,990 --> 01:33:51,780 um and I think I can identify 99 of the 2465 01:33:55,189 --> 01:33:54,000 interesting stuff we see uh but it's 2466 01:33:58,550 --> 01:33:55,199 it's it's good to have an open 2467 01:34:00,830 --> 01:33:58,560 discussion about it and to uh uh let's 2468 01:34:03,110 --> 01:34:00,840 see where the whether where the chips 2469 01:34:05,570 --> 01:34:03,120 may fall and you know even even if it's 2470 01:34:07,729 --> 01:34:05,580 just a new anomalous uh weather 2471 01:34:09,830 --> 01:34:07,739 phenomena we would discover maybe ball 2472 01:34:11,450 --> 01:34:09,840 lightning or vertical lightning and 2473 01:34:13,310 --> 01:34:11,460 clear skies even though 2474 01:34:15,669 --> 01:34:13,320 it doesn't make sense to me right now 2475 01:34:18,290 --> 01:34:15,679 but uh 2476 01:34:19,910 --> 01:34:18,300 neither do uaps I mean there's there's 2477 01:34:22,250 --> 01:34:19,920 something going on that I cannot explain 2478 01:34:25,370 --> 01:34:22,260 and if we can get some explanation for 2479 01:34:28,610 --> 01:34:25,380 it the better so uh yeah absolutely 2480 01:34:29,930 --> 01:34:28,620 absolutely well I guess that we'll have 2481 01:34:31,550 --> 01:34:29,940 to leave it there good hour and a half 2482 01:34:34,129 --> 01:34:31,560 thank you
