1 00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:08,390 [Music] 2 00:00:12,390 --> 00:00:09,430 hello 3 00:00:14,470 --> 00:00:12,400 and welcome to episode number 61 of the 4 00:00:19,269 --> 00:00:14,480 point of convergence podcast 5 00:00:21,429 --> 00:00:19,279 as always i am your host exo academian 6 00:00:23,910 --> 00:00:21,439 in recent years numerous accounts 7 00:00:25,670 --> 00:00:23,920 involving the ufo phenomenon have been 8 00:00:27,509 --> 00:00:25,680 made public that contain a broad 9 00:00:29,990 --> 00:00:27,519 assortment of bizarre 10 00:00:32,389 --> 00:00:30,000 paradigm stretching and for many 11 00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,399 credibility challenging elements of 12 00:00:37,510 --> 00:00:34,640 so-called high strangeness 13 00:00:39,830 --> 00:00:37,520 i.e elements that seem to contradict our 14 00:00:41,350 --> 00:00:39,840 consensus understanding of what is 15 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:41,360 possible 16 00:00:44,389 --> 00:00:43,440 recent books such as skinwalkers at the 17 00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:44,399 pentagon 18 00:00:48,150 --> 00:00:46,239 have helped to turn the spotlight on 19 00:00:50,709 --> 00:00:48,160 these colorizing elements of 20 00:00:54,790 --> 00:00:50,719 paranormality that tend to emerge 21 00:00:56,229 --> 00:00:54,800 alongside standard ufo sightings 22 00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:56,239 now some might look at these recent 23 00:01:00,709 --> 00:00:58,399 revelations and wonder if perhaps these 24 00:01:03,510 --> 00:01:00,719 elements are only now being presented 25 00:01:05,189 --> 00:01:03,520 because paranormality has become in 26 00:01:06,870 --> 00:01:05,199 vogue so to speak 27 00:01:08,870 --> 00:01:06,880 in other words skeptics might look at 28 00:01:11,429 --> 00:01:08,880 these recent revelations and suggest 29 00:01:13,670 --> 00:01:11,439 ufology has become corrupted by the 30 00:01:15,510 --> 00:01:13,680 imagination of our time 31 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:15,520 as if people's reports have become 32 00:01:20,310 --> 00:01:18,400 sprinkled with elements they internalize 33 00:01:22,390 --> 00:01:20,320 while watching too much netflix or 34 00:01:24,390 --> 00:01:22,400 something of the sort 35 00:01:26,950 --> 00:01:24,400 but the truth is these elements of high 36 00:01:29,429 --> 00:01:26,960 strangeness are not new 37 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:29,439 not in the slightest the truth is that 38 00:01:33,590 --> 00:01:31,360 the reason we see more reporting of 39 00:01:35,670 --> 00:01:33,600 these elements today is because there is 40 00:01:37,749 --> 00:01:35,680 less repression of these elements and 41 00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:37,759 these particular encounters by the 42 00:01:43,830 --> 00:01:41,360 ufological gatekeepers who historically 43 00:01:46,149 --> 00:01:43,840 wanted to present a cohesive nuts and 44 00:01:49,749 --> 00:01:46,159 bolts narrative so as to garner the 45 00:01:51,910 --> 00:01:49,759 attention and they hoped respect of the 46 00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:51,920 scientific mainstream 47 00:01:57,270 --> 00:01:54,960 in other words historically ufologists 48 00:01:59,510 --> 00:01:57,280 themselves often censored elements of 49 00:02:01,109 --> 00:01:59,520 high strangeness in the data that was 50 00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:01,119 collated 51 00:02:04,069 --> 00:02:02,960 but again these reports have always 52 00:02:07,030 --> 00:02:04,079 existed 53 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:07,040 paranormality and ufos go together like 54 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:08,800 ocean and sand 55 00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:10,720 in other words not only do they simply 56 00:02:15,030 --> 00:02:12,879 coexist together but they seem to be 57 00:02:15,910 --> 00:02:15,040 directly linked in some kind of causal 58 00:02:17,830 --> 00:02:15,920 chain 59 00:02:20,830 --> 00:02:17,840 even if the specifics have long eluded 60 00:02:23,670 --> 00:02:20,840 the grasp of researchers and theorists 61 00:02:26,550 --> 00:02:23,680 alike the curious encounters of a french 62 00:02:29,830 --> 00:02:26,560 man who in order to maintain his privacy 63 00:02:31,830 --> 00:02:29,840 came to be referred to simply as dr x is 64 00:02:34,470 --> 00:02:31,840 a perfect case in point 65 00:02:36,790 --> 00:02:34,480 this case is from the late 1960s long 66 00:02:38,070 --> 00:02:36,800 before the current eras focus on high 67 00:02:40,949 --> 00:02:38,080 strangeness 68 00:02:42,949 --> 00:02:40,959 and yet it has it all physical healing 69 00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:42,959 the spontaneous appearance of triangular 70 00:02:48,949 --> 00:02:46,400 skin marks memory manipulation future 71 00:02:53,670 --> 00:02:48,959 casting poltergeist and hitchhiker 72 00:02:55,670 --> 00:02:53,680 effects multi-generational impacts etc 73 00:02:58,470 --> 00:02:55,680 what are we to make of this bizarre menu 74 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:58,480 of elements that seem to effectively 75 00:03:02,869 --> 00:03:00,480 turn on their head almost all of our 76 00:03:04,869 --> 00:03:02,879 modern notions as to how reality is 77 00:03:06,949 --> 00:03:04,879 supposed to unfold 78 00:03:08,710 --> 00:03:06,959 do these elements merely demonstrate the 79 00:03:10,790 --> 00:03:08,720 impressive capabilities of a more 80 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:10,800 sophisticated extraterrestrial 81 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:12,080 intelligence 82 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:13,840 or do they perhaps provide hints 83 00:03:18,470 --> 00:03:15,760 regarding an origin for some of these 84 00:03:21,270 --> 00:03:18,480 mysterious others that flies in the face 85 00:03:23,589 --> 00:03:21,280 of the standard hypotheses put forth to 86 00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:23,599 make sense of this phenomenon 87 00:03:26,470 --> 00:03:25,440 these are the very matters we'll seek to 88 00:03:29,910 --> 00:03:26,480 explore 89 00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:29,920 in this the 61st episode of the point of 90 00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:36,869 [Music] 91 00:03:41,110 --> 00:03:39,840 now as we consider this case the case of 92 00:03:43,190 --> 00:03:41,120 dr x 93 00:03:44,630 --> 00:03:43,200 i want you to keep in mind other cases 94 00:03:46,550 --> 00:03:44,640 we've discussed 95 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,560 what do the cases have in common and 96 00:03:51,110 --> 00:03:48,720 what elements are different 97 00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:51,120 and overarchingly how are we to make 98 00:03:54,869 --> 00:03:52,879 sense of these encounters 99 00:03:56,630 --> 00:03:54,879 considering they often fly in the face 100 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,640 of our mainstream physicalist 101 00:04:01,110 --> 00:03:58,879 interpretation of what can happen in 102 00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:01,120 reality whenever we discuss the 103 00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:03,920 specifics of these particular cases my 104 00:04:08,470 --> 00:04:05,680 goal is for all of us to keep in mind 105 00:04:10,630 --> 00:04:08,480 the overarching questions what is this 106 00:04:12,789 --> 00:04:10,640 saying about reality itself and our 107 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:12,799 conception of it 108 00:04:16,390 --> 00:04:14,640 now one of the reasons why i like this 109 00:04:18,550 --> 00:04:16,400 case is because it has many of the 110 00:04:20,629 --> 00:04:18,560 elements of high strangeness that are so 111 00:04:21,830 --> 00:04:20,639 often front and center in this 112 00:04:23,830 --> 00:04:21,840 phenomenon 113 00:04:25,990 --> 00:04:23,840 but even more specifically i like this 114 00:04:28,629 --> 00:04:26,000 case because it has been vouched for and 115 00:04:31,189 --> 00:04:28,639 researched by people like jacques valet 116 00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:31,199 and his colleague amy michelle who was 117 00:04:35,830 --> 00:04:32,880 actually the person who interacted with 118 00:04:39,030 --> 00:04:35,840 dr x specifically when these events 119 00:04:41,110 --> 00:04:39,040 happened in the late 1960s 120 00:04:43,189 --> 00:04:41,120 so let's get right to this case here's 121 00:04:47,030 --> 00:04:43,199 the general overview 122 00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:47,040 in the fall of 1968 a 38 year old french 123 00:04:51,270 --> 00:04:48,160 physician 124 00:04:52,310 --> 00:04:51,280 observed two luminous objects outside a 125 00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:52,320 window 126 00:04:56,710 --> 00:04:54,639 and they later merged into one object 127 00:04:59,110 --> 00:04:56,720 now these very specifically looked like 128 00:05:02,310 --> 00:04:59,120 objects actual three-dimensional objects 129 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,320 in the sky not just lights 130 00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:04,320 then they disappeared from the scene 131 00:05:09,110 --> 00:05:06,560 after they had merged into one in a 132 00:05:10,629 --> 00:05:09,120 flash and a puff as it were but we'll 133 00:05:13,189 --> 00:05:10,639 get to that 134 00:05:15,830 --> 00:05:13,199 now interestingly one of the effects of 135 00:05:19,590 --> 00:05:15,840 this encounter was that this physician 136 00:05:21,270 --> 00:05:19,600 this dr x was healed of not one but two 137 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:21,280 serious injuries 138 00:05:27,270 --> 00:05:24,400 following his encounter with these ufos 139 00:05:30,310 --> 00:05:27,280 and subsequently experienced years of 140 00:05:32,629 --> 00:05:30,320 anomalous experiences that seemed linked 141 00:05:34,870 --> 00:05:32,639 to this initial sighting 142 00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:34,880 now as i said this account is documented 143 00:05:38,469 --> 00:05:37,440 by the famous french ufologist amy 144 00:05:40,310 --> 00:05:38,479 michelle 145 00:05:42,790 --> 00:05:40,320 who is a colleague of our favorite 146 00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,800 ufologist jacques vallet 147 00:05:46,469 --> 00:05:44,400 now i already mentioned that there are 148 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:46,479 healings involved in this case 149 00:05:52,070 --> 00:05:49,680 specifically dr x had muscle problems 150 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,080 and a limp in one leg following the 151 00:05:56,150 --> 00:05:54,080 suffering of an injury which involved 152 00:05:59,189 --> 00:05:56,160 him stepping on a land mine during the 153 00:06:01,510 --> 00:05:59,199 algerian war a decade previous to this 154 00:06:03,830 --> 00:06:01,520 encounter with this ufo 155 00:06:05,830 --> 00:06:03,840 his second injury was much more recent 156 00:06:08,629 --> 00:06:05,840 and was result of a self-inflicted 157 00:06:11,350 --> 00:06:08,639 injury to his ankle as a result of an 158 00:06:13,510 --> 00:06:11,360 axe slipping while he was cutting wood 159 00:06:16,550 --> 00:06:13,520 resulting in swelling and a fairly 160 00:06:18,629 --> 00:06:16,560 serious hematoma thus he found walking 161 00:06:21,830 --> 00:06:18,639 and even standing difficult at this 162 00:06:24,070 --> 00:06:21,840 point just prior to this encounter 163 00:06:26,790 --> 00:06:24,080 okay so that sets the table now let's 164 00:06:28,790 --> 00:06:26,800 get to the encounter itself 165 00:06:30,390 --> 00:06:28,800 just several days following the wood 166 00:06:33,270 --> 00:06:30,400 chopping accident 167 00:06:35,830 --> 00:06:33,280 dr x awoke to the sound of his young son 168 00:06:37,830 --> 00:06:35,840 calling him from his bedroom 169 00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:37,840 when he went to investigate he found his 170 00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:40,639 son jumping up and down excitedly on his 171 00:06:44,629 --> 00:06:42,960 bed pointing towards the window while 172 00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:44,639 mentioning something about a bright 173 00:06:48,629 --> 00:06:46,000 light 174 00:06:51,029 --> 00:06:48,639 outside a storm was raging at this point 175 00:06:53,350 --> 00:06:51,039 with heavy wind and rain and what the 176 00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:53,360 doctor first assumed to be flashes of 177 00:06:57,189 --> 00:06:54,560 lightning 178 00:06:59,189 --> 00:06:57,199 however later in reflecting on the 179 00:07:01,350 --> 00:06:59,199 incident with amy michelle 180 00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:01,360 the doctor realized that there were no 181 00:07:05,270 --> 00:07:03,520 corresponding sounds of thunder that 182 00:07:07,749 --> 00:07:05,280 would have been present were these 183 00:07:09,990 --> 00:07:07,759 flashes of actual lightning 184 00:07:12,469 --> 00:07:10,000 the flashes also seem to appear at 185 00:07:15,350 --> 00:07:12,479 intervals suggesting something more than 186 00:07:17,510 --> 00:07:15,360 random atmospheric phenomena in other 187 00:07:19,350 --> 00:07:17,520 words they happened regularly on a 188 00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,360 schedule almost 189 00:07:23,430 --> 00:07:21,680 now while up the doctor heard what 190 00:07:26,390 --> 00:07:23,440 sounded like a shutter that had come 191 00:07:28,710 --> 00:07:26,400 loose in the storm so after tucking his 192 00:07:30,870 --> 00:07:28,720 son back into bed with a glass of water 193 00:07:32,950 --> 00:07:30,880 he went to investigate this slamming 194 00:07:35,270 --> 00:07:32,960 sound where he thought a shutter was 195 00:07:38,150 --> 00:07:35,280 slamming against the house perhaps it 196 00:07:40,309 --> 00:07:38,160 had come loose during the storm 197 00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:40,319 while he went to investigate he saw 198 00:07:44,710 --> 00:07:42,479 through the window that these flashes of 199 00:07:46,710 --> 00:07:44,720 light were happening again like i said 200 00:07:49,110 --> 00:07:46,720 regularly and he realized it was at 201 00:07:51,189 --> 00:07:49,120 about a one second interval 202 00:07:53,110 --> 00:07:51,199 and it appeared to be the same color as 203 00:07:55,110 --> 00:07:53,120 that of the full moon 204 00:07:58,070 --> 00:07:55,120 these flashes would extend for about two 205 00:08:00,230 --> 00:07:58,080 and a half miles however no source for 206 00:08:02,070 --> 00:08:00,240 the light flashes was seen 207 00:08:04,790 --> 00:08:02,080 he then went downstairs to pour himself 208 00:08:09,749 --> 00:08:04,800 a glass of water and noted at that time 209 00:08:12,309 --> 00:08:09,759 that the kitchen clock read 3 55 am 210 00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:12,319 then looking at his twin french windows 211 00:08:18,230 --> 00:08:15,039 in his living room the doctor spotted 212 00:08:21,589 --> 00:08:18,240 two identical luminous objects hovering 213 00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:21,599 over the valley just over a mile away 214 00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:23,280 now they were moving in an eastward 215 00:08:27,830 --> 00:08:25,440 direction each shining down a bright 216 00:08:29,510 --> 00:08:27,840 spotlight to the ground below 217 00:08:31,830 --> 00:08:29,520 at this point he was seeing them in 218 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:31,840 profile at which point they appeared 219 00:08:36,709 --> 00:08:34,560 elliptical in shape with two distinct 220 00:08:39,029 --> 00:08:36,719 parts for each object 221 00:08:41,029 --> 00:08:39,039 the upper part was colored white almost 222 00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:41,039 like the color of the moon while the 223 00:08:46,310 --> 00:08:43,360 lower section was a deep red 224 00:08:47,670 --> 00:08:46,320 each object contained three antenna-like 225 00:08:50,070 --> 00:08:47,680 protrusions 226 00:08:52,070 --> 00:08:50,080 one vertical and two horizontal 227 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:52,080 stretching to the right and left of each 228 00:08:55,590 --> 00:08:53,360 object 229 00:08:58,070 --> 00:08:55,600 the lower section also seemed to have a 230 00:09:00,790 --> 00:08:58,080 distinct bulging section from which the 231 00:09:02,949 --> 00:09:00,800 beams of light originated again he's 232 00:09:04,310 --> 00:09:02,959 thinking of a mechanical kind of object 233 00:09:06,230 --> 00:09:04,320 here 234 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:06,240 as the flashes of light were absorbed 235 00:09:11,269 --> 00:09:08,640 through the antenna of each object 236 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:11,279 another flash passed between the two 237 00:09:15,990 --> 00:09:14,399 objects leading dr x to surmise that 238 00:09:18,470 --> 00:09:16,000 perhaps the craft were drawing 239 00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:18,480 electrical energy from the atmosphere 240 00:09:21,910 --> 00:09:19,600 around them 241 00:09:23,670 --> 00:09:21,920 refueling as it were that's what it 242 00:09:25,750 --> 00:09:23,680 looked like to him 243 00:09:28,310 --> 00:09:25,760 now eventually the two objects move 244 00:09:31,269 --> 00:09:28,320 closer together until they seemingly 245 00:09:34,710 --> 00:09:31,279 merged seamlessly into a single object 246 00:09:36,550 --> 00:09:34,720 of the same general shape but now larger 247 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:36,560 from there the doctor was surprised to 248 00:09:41,670 --> 00:09:39,519 find the now single anomalous object 249 00:09:44,070 --> 00:09:41,680 approaching him it started moving 250 00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:44,080 towards him and eventually it stopped 251 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:46,640 only a few hundred feet from where he 252 00:09:50,949 --> 00:09:49,440 stood watching in awe 253 00:09:52,790 --> 00:09:50,959 from this closer vantage point the 254 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,800 doctor felt he could discern a 255 00:09:58,070 --> 00:09:55,120 metal-like superstructure at least from 256 00:09:59,590 --> 00:09:58,080 the bottom section of this ufo and he 257 00:10:00,630 --> 00:09:59,600 sensed that the metal was lit from 258 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:00,640 within 259 00:10:06,389 --> 00:10:03,600 he also noticed different sections 11 260 00:10:08,389 --> 00:10:06,399 sections in fact in total on this object 261 00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:08,399 as well as moving lines 262 00:10:13,350 --> 00:10:10,880 along the outside of the object 263 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:13,360 then the object tilted on its side 264 00:10:19,110 --> 00:10:15,839 suddenly and simultaneously directed its 265 00:10:21,350 --> 00:10:19,120 large energy beam directly onto the 266 00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:21,360 doctor he was immersed in this energy 267 00:10:26,470 --> 00:10:24,399 beam as this object over top of him 268 00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:26,480 tilted to its side 269 00:10:30,550 --> 00:10:28,880 then to the doctor's shock and surprise 270 00:10:33,430 --> 00:10:30,560 as if he wasn't already shocked and 271 00:10:35,590 --> 00:10:33,440 surprised a loud booming cracking sound 272 00:10:38,470 --> 00:10:35,600 was heard to mark the moment when the 273 00:10:40,870 --> 00:10:38,480 ufo seemingly dematerialized that's the 274 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,880 word he used dematerialized 275 00:10:44,550 --> 00:10:42,480 instantaneously 276 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,560 leaving behind a cloud which quickly 277 00:10:47,990 --> 00:10:46,480 floated away 278 00:10:49,910 --> 00:10:48,000 he could then see what looked to be a 279 00:10:51,829 --> 00:10:49,920 thin luminous line that extended from 280 00:10:54,630 --> 00:10:51,839 where the ufo had been 281 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:54,640 to a point of light far far above 282 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:57,839 presumably the new location of the ufo 283 00:11:02,150 --> 00:10:59,600 suggesting it had moved away at an 284 00:11:05,190 --> 00:11:02,160 incredible rate of speed 285 00:11:08,230 --> 00:11:05,200 he then heard a second crack or bang and 286 00:11:10,310 --> 00:11:08,240 all trace of the object was gone 287 00:11:12,630 --> 00:11:10,320 now back inside still in a state of 288 00:11:15,590 --> 00:11:12,640 shock the doctor noted that the kitchen 289 00:11:18,069 --> 00:11:15,600 clock now read 405 am 290 00:11:20,870 --> 00:11:18,079 remember earlier on he noted it said 3 291 00:11:22,870 --> 00:11:20,880 55 am so not that much time has elapsed 292 00:11:24,630 --> 00:11:22,880 only about 10 minutes 293 00:11:26,150 --> 00:11:24,640 now because he didn't want to forget a 294 00:11:28,150 --> 00:11:26,160 single element of what he just 295 00:11:29,670 --> 00:11:28,160 experienced this is like nothing else 296 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:29,680 he'd ever experienced in his life of 297 00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,560 course 298 00:11:35,509 --> 00:11:32,240 the doctor immediately took out some 299 00:11:38,470 --> 00:11:35,519 paper and began taking notes and drawing 300 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:38,480 sketches of the objects and object he 301 00:11:42,870 --> 00:11:40,880 had seen and heard 302 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:42,880 next he went back up to his bedroom and 303 00:11:46,630 --> 00:11:45,360 awoke his wife to share the experience 304 00:11:48,870 --> 00:11:46,640 with her 305 00:11:51,750 --> 00:11:48,880 seeing him she immediately noticed that 306 00:11:53,990 --> 00:11:51,760 he was no longer walking with a limp 307 00:11:55,910 --> 00:11:54,000 now when he examined his leg he was 308 00:11:58,389 --> 00:11:55,920 shocked to see that his injury had 309 00:12:00,710 --> 00:11:58,399 virtually disappeared leaving only the 310 00:12:03,670 --> 00:12:00,720 faintest scar and the swelling and pain 311 00:12:06,230 --> 00:12:03,680 had completely and suddenly subsided 312 00:12:08,790 --> 00:12:06,240 remember he had two injuries one that he 313 00:12:11,670 --> 00:12:08,800 endured during the war which led to his 314 00:12:13,829 --> 00:12:11,680 limp and a more recent injury where he 315 00:12:16,069 --> 00:12:13,839 entered his ankle with the axe 316 00:12:18,550 --> 00:12:16,079 both of these injuries were completely 317 00:12:21,190 --> 00:12:18,560 healed he walked without a limp he had 318 00:12:23,509 --> 00:12:21,200 no pain he had full muscle function for 319 00:12:26,230 --> 00:12:23,519 the first time in a decade since the 320 00:12:27,430 --> 00:12:26,240 time he had the accident in the algerian 321 00:12:29,590 --> 00:12:27,440 war 322 00:12:31,910 --> 00:12:29,600 now after their excited conversation he 323 00:12:34,230 --> 00:12:31,920 and his wife the doctor finally calmed 324 00:12:35,990 --> 00:12:34,240 down enough to fall back to sleep but 325 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,000 then of course it was into the morning 326 00:12:41,030 --> 00:12:38,959 hours of the next day it was at that 327 00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:41,040 time that his wife heard him for the 328 00:12:46,389 --> 00:12:43,440 first time she could ever remember 329 00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,399 talking in his sleep now he said many 330 00:12:51,430 --> 00:12:48,720 things but one distinct sentence struck 331 00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:51,440 her when he was heard proclaiming 332 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:54,079 contact will be reestablished by falling 333 00:12:58,790 --> 00:12:57,120 down the stairs on november 2nd 334 00:13:01,430 --> 00:12:58,800 let me say that one more time she heard 335 00:13:03,430 --> 00:13:01,440 him say in his sleep contact will be 336 00:13:07,110 --> 00:13:03,440 re-established by falling down the 337 00:13:09,430 --> 00:13:07,120 stairs on november 2nd now perhaps she 338 00:13:10,949 --> 00:13:09,440 thought this was gobbly nonsense 339 00:13:12,069 --> 00:13:10,959 doesn't make a lot of sense out of 340 00:13:13,750 --> 00:13:12,079 context 341 00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:13,760 it will make sense once you hear what 342 00:13:17,509 --> 00:13:15,279 happens 343 00:13:18,949 --> 00:13:17,519 now the doctor continued to sleep well 344 00:13:21,509 --> 00:13:18,959 into the next day 345 00:13:23,509 --> 00:13:21,519 into the afternoon hours indeed and his 346 00:13:25,509 --> 00:13:23,519 wife continued to hear him talking in 347 00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:25,519 his sleep throughout those hours of 348 00:13:29,269 --> 00:13:26,800 sleep 349 00:13:30,949 --> 00:13:29,279 the next day when he finally did awake 350 00:13:33,829 --> 00:13:30,959 his wife bridged the topic of the 351 00:13:34,949 --> 00:13:33,839 previous night's slash early morning ufo 352 00:13:36,710 --> 00:13:34,959 encounter 353 00:13:38,710 --> 00:13:36,720 now what's weird here is 354 00:13:40,230 --> 00:13:38,720 at this point the doctor looked at her 355 00:13:43,350 --> 00:13:40,240 dumbfounded 356 00:13:45,829 --> 00:13:43,360 he had no idea what she was referring to 357 00:13:47,990 --> 00:13:45,839 perplexed and somewhat worried she 358 00:13:50,150 --> 00:13:48,000 showed him the notes and drawings he had 359 00:13:52,949 --> 00:13:50,160 made the previous night were talking 360 00:13:54,310 --> 00:13:52,959 only one night previous before he went 361 00:13:57,030 --> 00:13:54,320 to sleep 362 00:13:59,829 --> 00:13:57,040 at that point the doctor's jaw dropped 363 00:14:03,189 --> 00:13:59,839 because he recognized these drawings and 364 00:14:06,389 --> 00:14:03,199 these notes as being his own handwriting 365 00:14:08,550 --> 00:14:06,399 but he had no recollection at all of 366 00:14:10,629 --> 00:14:08,560 making the notes nor the events which 367 00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:10,639 inspired them 368 00:14:14,949 --> 00:14:13,120 then as it turns out his sleep talk that 369 00:14:16,990 --> 00:14:14,959 i mentioned and that strange phrase he 370 00:14:19,910 --> 00:14:17,000 muttered turned into a form of 371 00:14:22,550 --> 00:14:19,920 precognition future casting 372 00:14:24,949 --> 00:14:22,560 because later that day he did indeed 373 00:14:27,590 --> 00:14:24,959 fall down the stairs leading into his 374 00:14:28,949 --> 00:14:27,600 living room and he banged his head on 375 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:28,959 the ground 376 00:14:35,670 --> 00:14:32,399 and upon doing so suddenly full recall 377 00:14:37,430 --> 00:14:35,680 of the ufo encounter came back to him 378 00:14:38,710 --> 00:14:37,440 he remembered everything suddenly 379 00:14:40,550 --> 00:14:38,720 everything that his wife was saying 380 00:14:42,629 --> 00:14:40,560 suddenly made sense because he could 381 00:14:45,269 --> 00:14:42,639 remember it again and of course that 382 00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,279 completely suggests that what he was 383 00:14:50,230 --> 00:14:47,440 muttering in his sleep ended up coming 384 00:14:53,189 --> 00:14:50,240 true that the contact or in this case 385 00:14:54,949 --> 00:14:53,199 recall of the event came back to him 386 00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:54,959 when he hit his head 387 00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:56,639 now it's important to note here that his 388 00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:59,199 wife had not told him about what she'd 389 00:15:03,430 --> 00:15:01,040 heard him saying in his sleep so he had 390 00:15:05,990 --> 00:15:03,440 no notion of this suggestion that 391 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:06,000 falling down the stairs and then banging 392 00:15:09,829 --> 00:15:08,399 his head as it turns out would create 393 00:15:12,150 --> 00:15:09,839 this recall 394 00:15:14,310 --> 00:15:12,160 it was only after the fall down the 395 00:15:16,790 --> 00:15:14,320 stairs that she was struck by the 396 00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:16,800 coincidence and decided to share what 397 00:15:20,629 --> 00:15:18,800 she had heard him saying in his sleep 398 00:15:22,470 --> 00:15:20,639 the previous night 399 00:15:25,509 --> 00:15:22,480 by the way the doctor described feeling 400 00:15:28,310 --> 00:15:25,519 as if an invisible hook had manifested 401 00:15:30,310 --> 00:15:28,320 between his leg and that caused his fall 402 00:15:31,269 --> 00:15:30,320 so he's basically tripped by some sort 403 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:31,279 of 404 00:15:35,350 --> 00:15:33,360 physical manifestation between his legs 405 00:15:37,590 --> 00:15:35,360 that made him collapse 406 00:15:39,829 --> 00:15:37,600 very very strange 407 00:15:42,310 --> 00:15:39,839 now at the urging of his wife the doctor 408 00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:42,320 decided to contact famed french 409 00:15:47,829 --> 00:15:44,880 ufologist amy michelle who we've already 410 00:15:49,829 --> 00:15:47,839 mentioned a colleague of jacques valet 411 00:15:50,710 --> 00:15:49,839 upon arriving at their house three days 412 00:15:52,629 --> 00:15:50,720 later 413 00:15:55,110 --> 00:15:52,639 michelle noted that the doctor seemed 414 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:55,120 still to be in a state of ontological 415 00:15:58,550 --> 00:15:57,360 shock regarding the nature of his 416 00:16:00,870 --> 00:15:58,560 experience 417 00:16:03,189 --> 00:16:00,880 again this was three days previous now 418 00:16:04,550 --> 00:16:03,199 again this is not surprising so often 419 00:16:07,350 --> 00:16:04,560 this is front and center with this 420 00:16:09,269 --> 00:16:07,360 phenomenon people are struck by how 421 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:09,279 something has seemingly happened to them 422 00:16:11,990 --> 00:16:10,240 that they 423 00:16:13,269 --> 00:16:12,000 know happened they know it's not just 424 00:16:14,949 --> 00:16:13,279 delusion 425 00:16:16,949 --> 00:16:14,959 and yet it doesn't fit with our 426 00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:16,959 understanding of what can happen in 427 00:16:22,069 --> 00:16:19,600 reality thus people feel this strange 428 00:16:23,990 --> 00:16:22,079 cognitive dissonance 429 00:16:25,829 --> 00:16:24,000 now while his leg and muscle injuries 430 00:16:28,069 --> 00:16:25,839 were completely healed 431 00:16:30,790 --> 00:16:28,079 on this day the doctor began to feel a 432 00:16:33,030 --> 00:16:30,800 cramping pain around his navel so this 433 00:16:35,269 --> 00:16:33,040 is a new physiological symptom he 434 00:16:37,509 --> 00:16:35,279 suddenly started feeling when 435 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:37,519 amy michelle arrived on the scene again 436 00:16:42,790 --> 00:16:40,079 three days after the original sighting 437 00:16:45,030 --> 00:16:42,800 now this sensation on his navel 438 00:16:47,110 --> 00:16:45,040 eventually evolved into an itching and a 439 00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:47,120 prickling sensation 440 00:16:52,870 --> 00:16:50,240 then on november 13th the doctor had 441 00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:52,880 another dream in which he saw a triangle 442 00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:55,279 appear along with the ufo he had seen 443 00:17:00,710 --> 00:16:58,399 previously now soon after that pain on 444 00:17:03,350 --> 00:17:00,720 his navel that prickling feeling that 445 00:17:06,710 --> 00:17:03,360 itching feeling resolved into the shape 446 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,720 of a perfect isosceles triangle that was 447 00:17:11,189 --> 00:17:08,880 visible on his skin to himself and 448 00:17:13,590 --> 00:17:11,199 everyone else and this looked exactly 449 00:17:15,829 --> 00:17:13,600 like the object he'd seen in his dream 450 00:17:18,789 --> 00:17:15,839 the triangle he had seen in his dream 451 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:18,799 alongside the ufo at this point there 452 00:17:22,949 --> 00:17:20,559 was no more pain where the triangle 453 00:17:24,949 --> 00:17:22,959 appeared and when he saw a dermatologist 454 00:17:27,909 --> 00:17:24,959 he had no explanation 455 00:17:30,470 --> 00:17:27,919 now michelle a pragmatic man suggested 456 00:17:32,549 --> 00:17:30,480 perhaps the mark was of psychosomatic 457 00:17:34,950 --> 00:17:32,559 origin in other words he was causing it 458 00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:34,960 with his mind somehow by worrying about 459 00:17:38,549 --> 00:17:36,640 these things or something 460 00:17:41,830 --> 00:17:38,559 but then to everyone including 461 00:17:44,470 --> 00:17:41,840 michelle's surprise an identical mark 462 00:17:47,990 --> 00:17:44,480 appeared in the same location on the 463 00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:48,000 couple's young sun the very next day 464 00:17:52,390 --> 00:17:49,919 this was the same son who had first 465 00:17:54,630 --> 00:17:52,400 awoken the doctor after having seen 466 00:17:56,789 --> 00:17:54,640 lights outside his window 467 00:17:59,190 --> 00:17:56,799 now for two years following this this 468 00:18:01,909 --> 00:17:59,200 strange biological mark manifested on 469 00:18:04,630 --> 00:18:01,919 the doctor's body about every three 470 00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:04,640 weeks and would then show up on his son 471 00:18:10,150 --> 00:18:07,200 approximately 12 hours later 472 00:18:12,070 --> 00:18:10,160 the marks would then fade later 473 00:18:15,909 --> 00:18:12,080 this actually continued to happen the 474 00:18:17,750 --> 00:18:15,919 less regularly for the next 20 years so 475 00:18:20,230 --> 00:18:17,760 we talk about people having paranormal 476 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:20,240 effects after these kinds of encounters 477 00:18:23,750 --> 00:18:22,480 in the case of dr x it went on for 478 00:18:26,150 --> 00:18:23,760 decades 479 00:18:29,029 --> 00:18:26,160 now on top of that various bizarre 480 00:18:31,190 --> 00:18:29,039 synchronicities continued to arise in 481 00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:31,200 the months and years following that 482 00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:33,120 initial encounter 483 00:18:38,150 --> 00:18:35,360 one particularly strange one involved 484 00:18:40,470 --> 00:18:38,160 amy michelle and the doctor 485 00:18:41,830 --> 00:18:40,480 michelle had a particular melody that 486 00:18:44,549 --> 00:18:41,840 wasn't all that familiar to him 487 00:18:46,710 --> 00:18:44,559 beforehand stuck in his head on this one 488 00:18:49,669 --> 00:18:46,720 particular week that winter 489 00:18:51,430 --> 00:18:49,679 the same time frame as when the initial 490 00:18:53,510 --> 00:18:51,440 experience happened 491 00:18:54,789 --> 00:18:53,520 now when michelle met up with a doctor 492 00:18:56,630 --> 00:18:54,799 after the doctor had been through a 493 00:18:58,470 --> 00:18:56,640 hypnosis session 494 00:19:01,029 --> 00:18:58,480 he noticed the doctor seemed tense and 495 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:01,039 he suggested that the doctor play piano 496 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:03,120 which tend to calm him down and he was a 497 00:19:08,310 --> 00:19:05,440 very accomplished pianist 498 00:19:10,870 --> 00:19:08,320 now the doctor agreed and acting on the 499 00:19:13,990 --> 00:19:10,880 suggestion proceeded to start playing 500 00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:14,000 this very strange melody the same one 501 00:19:17,990 --> 00:19:16,240 that had been stuck in michelle's head 502 00:19:19,990 --> 00:19:18,000 all week long 503 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:20,000 now michelle had no other recollection 504 00:19:23,909 --> 00:19:21,919 of having heard that tune during the 505 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:23,919 time period leading up to this strangely 506 00:19:29,350 --> 00:19:27,679 synchronous event but the doctor dr x 507 00:19:31,990 --> 00:19:29,360 who had not been around michelle that 508 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:32,000 week said he'd been practicing that song 509 00:19:35,669 --> 00:19:33,760 all week long 510 00:19:38,230 --> 00:19:35,679 so notice the synchronicity here these 511 00:19:41,350 --> 00:19:38,240 two were not together and yet on the one 512 00:19:43,990 --> 00:19:41,360 hand dr x was practicing this song on 513 00:19:46,150 --> 00:19:44,000 the piano a song that was not known to 514 00:19:48,630 --> 00:19:46,160 amy michelle and separately in a 515 00:19:50,310 --> 00:19:48,640 different location amy michelle was 516 00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:50,320 surprised to find this melody kept 517 00:19:56,150 --> 00:19:52,799 coming up in his mind all week long the 518 00:19:57,750 --> 00:19:56,160 same time frame as dr x was practicing 519 00:20:00,870 --> 00:19:57,760 this song and then when they got 520 00:20:04,149 --> 00:20:00,880 together to his surprise amy michelle 521 00:20:06,149 --> 00:20:04,159 finds dr x playing this very song on the 522 00:20:08,549 --> 00:20:06,159 piano that's exactly the kind of 523 00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:08,559 synchronicities that happen in this case 524 00:20:13,750 --> 00:20:10,880 time and time again and tend to happen 525 00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:13,760 with this phenomenon time and time again 526 00:20:18,470 --> 00:20:16,000 even people who had no experience with a 527 00:20:21,510 --> 00:20:18,480 ufo or alien beings or anything of the 528 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:21,520 sort can still get drawn into it merely 529 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:24,720 by being in contact or association with 530 00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:26,720 the people who did have the contact 531 00:20:29,909 --> 00:20:28,320 experience 532 00:20:31,669 --> 00:20:29,919 now here we should make clear that this 533 00:20:34,149 --> 00:20:31,679 kind of synchronicity did not just 534 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:34,159 happen between a doctor and his wife and 535 00:20:38,230 --> 00:20:36,159 someone like amy michelle 536 00:20:40,149 --> 00:20:38,240 but various people that the doctor and 537 00:20:42,789 --> 00:20:40,159 his wife knew began to experience 538 00:20:44,789 --> 00:20:42,799 strange synchronicities around them or 539 00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:44,799 in connection with them and again here 540 00:20:49,029 --> 00:20:47,039 we're reminded of more recent events 541 00:20:50,310 --> 00:20:49,039 depicted in a book like skinwalkers at 542 00:20:52,310 --> 00:20:50,320 the pentagon 543 00:20:54,630 --> 00:20:52,320 which i mentioned in the introduction 544 00:20:57,190 --> 00:20:54,640 having to do with what has been termed a 545 00:20:58,870 --> 00:20:57,200 kind of social contagion 546 00:21:00,630 --> 00:20:58,880 where it appears that even being 547 00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:00,640 socially linked to someone who 548 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:03,440 experiences a ufo or co-arising 549 00:21:08,710 --> 00:21:06,400 anomalous phenomena can seemingly become 550 00:21:10,070 --> 00:21:08,720 the triggering event which spreads to 551 00:21:12,310 --> 00:21:10,080 others 552 00:21:14,230 --> 00:21:12,320 now we might ask is this a form of 553 00:21:17,430 --> 00:21:14,240 energy now associated with the 554 00:21:19,190 --> 00:21:17,440 individual that can be caught as it were 555 00:21:22,230 --> 00:21:19,200 or is it perhaps even a kind of 556 00:21:24,870 --> 00:21:22,240 biological contagion like a virus 557 00:21:27,029 --> 00:21:24,880 there seem to be cases where people even 558 00:21:30,710 --> 00:21:27,039 who haven't been in actual physical 559 00:21:31,510 --> 00:21:30,720 proximity can still catch this from each 560 00:21:33,990 --> 00:21:31,520 other 561 00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:34,000 suggesting the social connection alone 562 00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:35,760 can become the pathway through which 563 00:21:41,270 --> 00:21:39,520 this contagion can and does travel so 564 00:21:43,029 --> 00:21:41,280 let's make that really clear 565 00:21:46,149 --> 00:21:43,039 in skill markers at the pentagon we have 566 00:21:48,470 --> 00:21:46,159 cases where someone would see a ufo or a 567 00:21:51,590 --> 00:21:48,480 skin walker or some sort of strange 568 00:21:54,470 --> 00:21:51,600 entity while on the ranch in utah and 569 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:54,480 then fly back home and then relatives 570 00:21:58,630 --> 00:21:57,039 friends and associates colleagues of 571 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:58,640 these people who had these initial 572 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,640 encounters would then begin to 573 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:02,880 experience high strangeness themselves 574 00:22:07,669 --> 00:22:05,120 sometimes it was the sons the daughters 575 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,679 the wives the husbands sometimes even 576 00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:09,600 cousins or people that lived on the same 577 00:22:15,750 --> 00:22:12,799 street again it seems that it's not just 578 00:22:17,430 --> 00:22:15,760 having been in actual physical proximity 579 00:22:20,149 --> 00:22:17,440 like how you would pass a biological 580 00:22:22,470 --> 00:22:20,159 virus but that even somehow the social 581 00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:22,480 connection or the mental overlay we 582 00:22:26,630 --> 00:22:24,880 might even say between these people the 583 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:26,640 consciousness of these two people was 584 00:22:33,029 --> 00:22:30,240 enough for this kind of viral entity to 585 00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:33,039 pass over from one person to another 586 00:22:37,830 --> 00:22:35,280 now the implications there are certainly 587 00:22:39,990 --> 00:22:37,840 no less than paradigm shattering i'm 588 00:22:42,470 --> 00:22:40,000 sure you'll agree again for many it's 589 00:22:45,110 --> 00:22:42,480 just too bizarre to reckon with many 590 00:22:47,350 --> 00:22:45,120 will just reject it out of hand because 591 00:22:48,630 --> 00:22:47,360 again it flies in the face of what we 592 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:48,640 understand 593 00:22:53,270 --> 00:22:51,120 can happen with reality and yet as i've 594 00:22:55,190 --> 00:22:53,280 said numerous times on this podcast 595 00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,200 that's not how we should make sense of 596 00:23:00,390 --> 00:22:57,679 these things we don't exclude data or 597 00:23:02,390 --> 00:23:00,400 ignore data or repress data certainly 598 00:23:04,549 --> 00:23:02,400 not delete data just because it doesn't 599 00:23:06,950 --> 00:23:04,559 fit with our prevailing paradigm 600 00:23:09,510 --> 00:23:06,960 if there is outlier data that seems to 601 00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:09,520 question our notion of reality we should 602 00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:11,760 let it be we should collect more and 603 00:23:16,230 --> 00:23:14,080 more and perhaps that will lead to a 604 00:23:19,029 --> 00:23:16,240 revolution of sorts in terms of our 605 00:23:20,070 --> 00:23:19,039 understanding of what reality actually 606 00:23:22,870 --> 00:23:20,080 is 607 00:23:25,110 --> 00:23:22,880 more on that later now the doctor and 608 00:23:27,909 --> 00:23:25,120 his wife also experienced strange 609 00:23:31,270 --> 00:23:27,919 electrical surges and outages in their 610 00:23:32,950 --> 00:23:31,280 home following this event and strangely 611 00:23:34,549 --> 00:23:32,960 when the electric company was brought in 612 00:23:36,630 --> 00:23:34,559 to investigate 613 00:23:38,549 --> 00:23:36,640 while they too noticed the anomalies 614 00:23:40,390 --> 00:23:38,559 they could find no source for the 615 00:23:42,390 --> 00:23:40,400 arising of these anomalies the 616 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:42,400 electricity would go on and off 617 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:44,640 seemingly arbitrarily they couldn't make 618 00:23:48,630 --> 00:23:46,960 heads or tails of it and one of these 619 00:23:51,029 --> 00:23:48,640 electricians that worked for the 620 00:23:53,029 --> 00:23:51,039 government entity that was investigating 621 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:53,039 this said believe it or not that they 622 00:23:57,590 --> 00:23:54,960 believed the house was probably haunted 623 00:23:59,750 --> 00:23:57,600 and the couple should just move 624 00:24:02,470 --> 00:23:59,760 now the doctor and his wife also noted 625 00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:02,480 various poltergeist phenomena including 626 00:24:07,110 --> 00:24:04,559 various household objects that seem to 627 00:24:08,710 --> 00:24:07,120 randomly move by themselves or they 628 00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:08,720 would find them in places that neither 629 00:24:13,350 --> 00:24:11,200 one of them moved them to 630 00:24:16,070 --> 00:24:13,360 in addition to that an old mechanical 631 00:24:19,110 --> 00:24:16,080 clock started behaving strangely falling 632 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,120 several hours behind on occasion 633 00:24:23,669 --> 00:24:21,600 now this next element is truly shocking 634 00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:23,679 and surprising and again many people 635 00:24:28,070 --> 00:24:25,679 will reject it outright because it goes 636 00:24:29,669 --> 00:24:28,080 against our normal understanding of what 637 00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,679 can happen 638 00:24:34,070 --> 00:24:31,520 but before i share it i want to remind 639 00:24:36,310 --> 00:24:34,080 you that before these incidences before 640 00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:36,320 this initial encounter with these two 641 00:24:41,669 --> 00:24:38,880 ufos that turned into one 642 00:24:43,909 --> 00:24:41,679 this doctor was a straight shooting 643 00:24:45,830 --> 00:24:43,919 mild-mannered physician who didn't look 644 00:24:47,909 --> 00:24:45,840 for attention he was known for his 645 00:24:50,710 --> 00:24:47,919 clarity of critical thinking skills and 646 00:24:52,149 --> 00:24:50,720 a lack of fanciful imagination this is 647 00:24:54,470 --> 00:24:52,159 not the kind of person that makes this 648 00:24:56,549 --> 00:24:54,480 stuff up or even thinks about it or is 649 00:24:58,710 --> 00:24:56,559 even interested in it we need to 650 00:25:01,350 --> 00:24:58,720 remember that because people often 651 00:25:03,750 --> 00:25:01,360 assume this is just happening to people 652 00:25:06,390 --> 00:25:03,760 who tend towards these things already 653 00:25:08,070 --> 00:25:06,400 they do not often it happens to people 654 00:25:10,390 --> 00:25:08,080 who've never even thought about these 655 00:25:13,110 --> 00:25:10,400 things never considered them at all 656 00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:13,120 no contemplation beforehand whatsoever 657 00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:15,200 that was certainly the case with dr x 658 00:25:18,710 --> 00:25:17,120 and his wife 659 00:25:21,350 --> 00:25:18,720 this is what happened 660 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:21,360 on numerous occasions after the incident 661 00:25:26,630 --> 00:25:23,760 of seeing the initial ufos 662 00:25:29,750 --> 00:25:26,640 he reported incidences of spontaneous 663 00:25:31,830 --> 00:25:29,760 levitation where he would float 20 feet 664 00:25:33,830 --> 00:25:31,840 or more into the air 665 00:25:36,710 --> 00:25:33,840 and in one specific case he happened to 666 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:36,720 have fly paper stuck on his hand and 667 00:25:41,750 --> 00:25:39,440 when he levitated to the ceiling 20 feet 668 00:25:43,269 --> 00:25:41,760 up he took this fly paper and stuck it 669 00:25:45,590 --> 00:25:43,279 to the ceiling so he could show it to 670 00:25:47,750 --> 00:25:45,600 amy michelle later on 671 00:25:49,669 --> 00:25:47,760 so again just try and imagine this 672 00:25:51,430 --> 00:25:49,679 person who is mild-mannered 673 00:25:53,909 --> 00:25:51,440 not prone to this kind of thinking not 674 00:25:55,750 --> 00:25:53,919 prone to talking or thinking about ufos 675 00:25:58,070 --> 00:25:55,760 at all certainly not thinking about 676 00:26:00,070 --> 00:25:58,080 paranormality and suddenly after an 677 00:26:02,630 --> 00:26:00,080 encounter like this he's doing things 678 00:26:05,830 --> 00:26:02,640 like floating up to the ceiling 679 00:26:07,830 --> 00:26:05,840 on another occasion later on he started 680 00:26:10,390 --> 00:26:07,840 hearing a voice that on numerous 681 00:26:11,750 --> 00:26:10,400 occasions informed him that something 682 00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:11,760 anomalous 683 00:26:16,630 --> 00:26:13,919 of significance would happen on the 684 00:26:18,310 --> 00:26:16,640 one-year anniversary of that initial 685 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:18,320 encounter 686 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:20,240 now because of this the doctor and his 687 00:26:25,909 --> 00:26:23,279 wife invited amy michelle and his wife 688 00:26:26,789 --> 00:26:25,919 to spend that anniversary evening with 689 00:26:28,630 --> 00:26:26,799 them 690 00:26:31,029 --> 00:26:28,640 and at the same time he had their young 691 00:26:33,190 --> 00:26:31,039 son taken to the grandparents house so 692 00:26:35,190 --> 00:26:33,200 the young son was at the grandparents 693 00:26:36,630 --> 00:26:35,200 while amy michelle and his wife came to 694 00:26:39,430 --> 00:26:36,640 spend the evening 695 00:26:41,909 --> 00:26:39,440 with dr x and his wife on the one year 696 00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:41,919 anniversary of that initial sighting and 697 00:26:45,830 --> 00:26:43,520 encounter 698 00:26:46,789 --> 00:26:45,840 now upon arriving at the scene at the 699 00:26:48,870 --> 00:26:46,799 house 700 00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:48,880 amy michelle asked if there were any 701 00:26:54,149 --> 00:26:51,360 unusual markings on the doctor's body at 702 00:26:55,110 --> 00:26:54,159 that moment to mark the occasion so to 703 00:26:57,510 --> 00:26:55,120 speak 704 00:26:58,710 --> 00:26:57,520 the doctor showed him there were not 705 00:27:00,630 --> 00:26:58,720 however 706 00:27:03,590 --> 00:27:00,640 later that night sensing something 707 00:27:06,549 --> 00:27:03,600 coming over him the doctor stood up 708 00:27:08,789 --> 00:27:06,559 saying it's here it's beginning again 709 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:08,799 and upon lifting his shirt they could 710 00:27:14,710 --> 00:27:12,000 all see a precisely defined triangle 711 00:27:17,669 --> 00:27:14,720 trace itself that very moment onto the 712 00:27:20,950 --> 00:27:17,679 surface of the doctor's abdomen again at 713 00:27:22,950 --> 00:27:20,960 that very moment and earlier on when amy 714 00:27:25,350 --> 00:27:22,960 michelle looked there was nothing there 715 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:25,360 on the abdomen it happened in real time 716 00:27:29,590 --> 00:27:27,360 while they were all there and very 717 00:27:32,070 --> 00:27:29,600 importantly the doctor sensed it he 718 00:27:34,389 --> 00:27:32,080 sensed something coming over him just as 719 00:27:36,630 --> 00:27:34,399 it began and that's what made him stand 720 00:27:39,590 --> 00:27:36,640 up and lift up his shirt to begin with 721 00:27:42,230 --> 00:27:39,600 again shocking and fascinating 722 00:27:43,669 --> 00:27:42,240 now interestingly even though they had 723 00:27:45,669 --> 00:27:43,679 sent their son to spend the night with 724 00:27:48,149 --> 00:27:45,679 the grandparents like i said 725 00:27:50,710 --> 00:27:48,159 they later found out that the very same 726 00:27:53,029 --> 00:27:50,720 mark had appeared yet again on the son's 727 00:27:55,350 --> 00:27:53,039 abdomen even though he wasn't even at 728 00:27:57,029 --> 00:27:55,360 the same location of course as the 729 00:27:58,389 --> 00:27:57,039 doctor and his wife 730 00:28:00,470 --> 00:27:58,399 the grandmother was actually quite 731 00:28:02,470 --> 00:28:00,480 distraught because she noticed this mark 732 00:28:03,590 --> 00:28:02,480 on the young boy and wondered what was 733 00:28:05,590 --> 00:28:03,600 going on 734 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:05,600 now interestingly while the doctor 735 00:28:10,870 --> 00:28:09,120 didn't recall alien beings or abductions 736 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:10,880 like they're often depicted 737 00:28:15,430 --> 00:28:14,000 his son experienced insomnia of a pretty 738 00:28:17,510 --> 00:28:15,440 extreme degree 739 00:28:19,830 --> 00:28:17,520 following this most recent case of the 740 00:28:22,149 --> 00:28:19,840 triangle mark on his body 741 00:28:24,950 --> 00:28:22,159 and he was known as often telling his 742 00:28:28,070 --> 00:28:24,960 classmates that at night he would go off 743 00:28:29,990 --> 00:28:28,080 into the big red machine in the sky the 744 00:28:31,909 --> 00:28:30,000 one that made the loud noises and the 745 00:28:34,310 --> 00:28:31,919 flashes of light 746 00:28:36,710 --> 00:28:34,320 so even though the doctor himself 747 00:28:38,070 --> 00:28:36,720 doesn't remember being abducted or taken 748 00:28:40,950 --> 00:28:38,080 into a craft 749 00:28:42,630 --> 00:28:40,960 the son clearly is having experiences 750 00:28:45,190 --> 00:28:42,640 that suggest that is what is happening 751 00:28:47,510 --> 00:28:45,200 that a more classical abduction case is 752 00:28:49,430 --> 00:28:47,520 happening with the sun so once again as 753 00:28:52,230 --> 00:28:49,440 i mentioned in the introduction 754 00:28:54,470 --> 00:28:52,240 we have a multi-generational incident 755 00:28:56,789 --> 00:28:54,480 here this is very common that this 756 00:29:00,149 --> 00:28:56,799 happens across bloodlines sometimes over 757 00:29:02,149 --> 00:29:00,159 three or four generations at this point 758 00:29:04,710 --> 00:29:02,159 now we've often discussed the matter of 759 00:29:06,389 --> 00:29:04,720 how these seemingly otherworldly events 760 00:29:08,710 --> 00:29:06,399 change people 761 00:29:10,830 --> 00:29:08,720 in the case of the doctor and his wife 762 00:29:13,590 --> 00:29:10,840 they went on to develop a renewed 763 00:29:14,789 --> 00:29:13,600 appreciation for life and its deep 764 00:29:17,110 --> 00:29:14,799 mysteries 765 00:29:18,070 --> 00:29:17,120 and they both became deeply spiritual 766 00:29:19,990 --> 00:29:18,080 people 767 00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:20,000 both coming to recognize the great 768 00:29:24,070 --> 00:29:21,520 wonder of it all 769 00:29:26,470 --> 00:29:24,080 and while he was initially set back by 770 00:29:28,630 --> 00:29:26,480 the ontological shock he was quite put 771 00:29:31,269 --> 00:29:28,640 off by the experience 772 00:29:33,830 --> 00:29:31,279 they both began to eventually come to 773 00:29:35,990 --> 00:29:33,840 see it as wondrous and they were okay 774 00:29:37,830 --> 00:29:36,000 with not fully understanding it but they 775 00:29:39,029 --> 00:29:37,840 knew it was somehow something 776 00:29:42,070 --> 00:29:39,039 awesome 777 00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:42,080 amazing and world changing and of course 778 00:29:46,710 --> 00:29:44,559 we should not forget that he was healed 779 00:29:48,470 --> 00:29:46,720 pretty profoundly as a result of this 780 00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:48,480 experience 781 00:29:53,510 --> 00:29:50,960 now in a much later interview the doctor 782 00:29:56,149 --> 00:29:53,520 also described being sometimes visited 783 00:29:59,110 --> 00:29:56,159 over the years by a man who never seemed 784 00:30:01,269 --> 00:29:59,120 to age so he would see him only after 785 00:30:03,430 --> 00:30:01,279 numerous years had gone by but even 786 00:30:05,830 --> 00:30:03,440 though the doctor had aged this man he 787 00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:05,840 met up with never seemed to age 788 00:30:10,149 --> 00:30:07,840 and after his encounters with this 789 00:30:12,950 --> 00:30:10,159 mysterious figure the doctor would note 790 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:12,960 that he had experienced missing time 791 00:30:17,909 --> 00:30:14,880 again of course another common data 792 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:17,919 point of the ufo abduction phenomenon 793 00:30:21,510 --> 00:30:19,200 even though some elements don't 794 00:30:23,430 --> 00:30:21,520 completely line up with what we think of 795 00:30:25,510 --> 00:30:23,440 as abduction 796 00:30:28,310 --> 00:30:25,520 now as i mentioned amy michelle was the 797 00:30:29,909 --> 00:30:28,320 person who documented most of this case 798 00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:29,919 it became well known because jacques 799 00:30:35,190 --> 00:30:32,399 villa picked up on the case he recounted 800 00:30:37,190 --> 00:30:35,200 the doctor's case in passport to madonia 801 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:37,200 as well as in later books and it's 802 00:30:41,269 --> 00:30:38,640 because of this that this case has 803 00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:41,279 become part of the worldwide ufological 804 00:30:44,630 --> 00:30:42,240 lore 805 00:30:46,310 --> 00:30:44,640 even though often it's not spoken about 806 00:30:48,870 --> 00:30:46,320 as much as i wish it was because it 807 00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:48,880 truly is an outstanding case it's well 808 00:30:54,070 --> 00:30:51,760 documented it was looked into by very 809 00:30:56,470 --> 00:30:54,080 credible ufologists and we have all the 810 00:30:58,710 --> 00:30:56,480 elements of high strangeness happening 811 00:31:00,789 --> 00:30:58,720 in one encounter 812 00:31:03,029 --> 00:31:00,799 now as i mentioned in the introduction 813 00:31:05,750 --> 00:31:03,039 while many people might assume skeptics 814 00:31:08,470 --> 00:31:05,760 might assume that the more paranormal 815 00:31:10,870 --> 00:31:08,480 elements of these more recent encounters 816 00:31:13,190 --> 00:31:10,880 are perhaps a byproduct of overactive 817 00:31:14,630 --> 00:31:13,200 imaginations who've consumed too much 818 00:31:16,310 --> 00:31:14,640 sci-fi 819 00:31:18,470 --> 00:31:16,320 cases like this remind us that this has 820 00:31:20,870 --> 00:31:18,480 been happening for a very long time 821 00:31:22,950 --> 00:31:20,880 as long as ufology has been a thing 822 00:31:24,630 --> 00:31:22,960 these kinds of events have been going on 823 00:31:27,110 --> 00:31:24,640 that involve elements of high 824 00:31:29,509 --> 00:31:27,120 strangeness and of course following the 825 00:31:31,350 --> 00:31:29,519 work of people like chocolate we're very 826 00:31:33,909 --> 00:31:31,360 aware that this kind of thing's been 827 00:31:35,830 --> 00:31:33,919 happening long before modern ufology 828 00:31:37,830 --> 00:31:35,840 that when we look at fairy lore when we 829 00:31:40,070 --> 00:31:37,840 look at religious experiences many of 830 00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:40,080 the same elements are in play 831 00:31:44,789 --> 00:31:42,399 so perhaps this is pointing to something 832 00:31:46,389 --> 00:31:44,799 that's been going on all along basically 833 00:31:48,789 --> 00:31:46,399 as long as our species 834 00:31:50,789 --> 00:31:48,799 has been around 835 00:31:51,909 --> 00:31:50,799 now when we step back and reflect on 836 00:31:54,389 --> 00:31:51,919 this case 837 00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:54,399 while some of the details are unique 838 00:31:57,830 --> 00:31:56,480 many of the key data points are quite 839 00:32:00,630 --> 00:31:57,840 familiar 840 00:32:02,549 --> 00:32:00,640 missing time memory manipulation 841 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:02,559 physiological effects 842 00:32:06,789 --> 00:32:04,080 time distortion 843 00:32:09,029 --> 00:32:06,799 future telling healing 844 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:09,039 contact that reaches across generations 845 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,799 in a single bloodline 846 00:32:14,950 --> 00:32:12,559 poltergeist phenomena 847 00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:14,960 synchronicities to the extreme and even 848 00:32:18,789 --> 00:32:17,519 paranormal social contagion like we 849 00:32:21,430 --> 00:32:18,799 talked about 850 00:32:23,830 --> 00:32:21,440 we also see as i just noted that people 851 00:32:26,310 --> 00:32:23,840 are often forever changed by these 852 00:32:28,630 --> 00:32:26,320 encounters and seemingly not just 853 00:32:30,389 --> 00:32:28,640 because they're so bizarre but also 854 00:32:31,509 --> 00:32:30,399 because they often seem to have a 855 00:32:33,909 --> 00:32:31,519 built-in 856 00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:33,919 element of primarily spiritual 857 00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:36,399 existential relevance 858 00:32:41,430 --> 00:32:38,399 so much so that some have suggested that 859 00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:41,440 these effects are perhaps more important 860 00:32:45,509 --> 00:32:43,440 than the phenomena that gave rise to 861 00:32:47,430 --> 00:32:45,519 them in the first place 862 00:32:50,149 --> 00:32:47,440 on the other hand in a case like this 863 00:32:52,710 --> 00:32:50,159 one we see evidence of craft that seem 864 00:32:55,669 --> 00:32:52,720 to show evidence of an advanced kind of 865 00:32:58,710 --> 00:32:55,679 seemingly nuts and bolts technology with 866 00:33:00,950 --> 00:32:58,720 energy absorbing antenna and the like 867 00:33:02,070 --> 00:33:00,960 and of course this too is not all that 868 00:33:04,389 --> 00:33:02,080 unique 869 00:33:06,710 --> 00:33:04,399 again with this phenomenon we frequently 870 00:33:08,870 --> 00:33:06,720 see the collapse of our usual 871 00:33:11,190 --> 00:33:08,880 categories of understanding 872 00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:11,200 or terms of differentiation like 873 00:33:16,710 --> 00:33:13,919 spiritual versus technological 874 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:16,720 seem suddenly misguided and insufficient 875 00:33:21,830 --> 00:33:18,960 in their usual function 876 00:33:24,710 --> 00:33:21,840 if nothing else with this phenomenon we 877 00:33:27,269 --> 00:33:24,720 frequently see evidence of both and 878 00:33:29,190 --> 00:33:27,279 rather than either or 879 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:29,200 now ultimately what i would suggest to 880 00:33:31,990 --> 00:33:30,000 you 881 00:33:33,190 --> 00:33:32,000 as i have been for some time now on this 882 00:33:35,350 --> 00:33:33,200 podcast 883 00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:35,360 is that the implications arising from 884 00:33:39,990 --> 00:33:37,360 revelations pertaining to the ufo 885 00:33:41,350 --> 00:33:40,000 phenomenon and forms of high strangeness 886 00:33:44,230 --> 00:33:41,360 beyond that 887 00:33:46,950 --> 00:33:44,240 are pointing squarely to reality itself 888 00:33:48,310 --> 00:33:46,960 and more specifically to our conception 889 00:33:49,990 --> 00:33:48,320 of reality 890 00:33:52,389 --> 00:33:50,000 i would suggest to you that it's not 891 00:33:55,029 --> 00:33:52,399 just our convenient distinctions like 892 00:33:57,430 --> 00:33:55,039 technological versus spiritual that are 893 00:34:00,789 --> 00:33:57,440 faulty but more generally even 894 00:34:01,990 --> 00:34:00,799 differentiations around physical versus 895 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:02,000 mental 896 00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:03,840 i would go so far as to suggest that 897 00:34:09,190 --> 00:34:06,480 what this phenomenon is telling us is 898 00:34:10,470 --> 00:34:09,200 that reality itself does not exist as we 899 00:34:12,470 --> 00:34:10,480 think it does 900 00:34:15,349 --> 00:34:12,480 and that it is actually not really 901 00:34:16,869 --> 00:34:15,359 primarily physical at all 902 00:34:19,510 --> 00:34:16,879 in other words what we have is 903 00:34:21,669 --> 00:34:19,520 gradations of what you might call mind 904 00:34:23,829 --> 00:34:21,679 stuff though that will require some 905 00:34:24,869 --> 00:34:23,839 unpacking in the weeks and months to 906 00:34:26,550 --> 00:34:24,879 come 907 00:34:29,030 --> 00:34:26,560 but i'm referring generally to 908 00:34:30,790 --> 00:34:29,040 overlapping waves of what you might call 909 00:34:33,109 --> 00:34:30,800 mental experience 910 00:34:35,430 --> 00:34:33,119 suggesting our reality is more like a 911 00:34:37,750 --> 00:34:35,440 shared collective dream which is 912 00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:37,760 stubbornly convincing as primarily 913 00:34:40,790 --> 00:34:40,000 physical because we experience it that 914 00:34:46,389 --> 00:34:40,800 way 915 00:34:48,869 --> 00:34:46,399 so long now that it's become ubiquitous 916 00:34:50,710 --> 00:34:48,879 of course a dream feels fully physical 917 00:34:52,710 --> 00:34:50,720 when you're within it because that is 918 00:34:55,270 --> 00:34:52,720 what dreamscapes are 919 00:34:56,790 --> 00:34:55,280 fully immersive world spaces 920 00:34:58,870 --> 00:34:56,800 now consider this 921 00:35:00,950 --> 00:34:58,880 just as an alarm clock or the sound of 922 00:35:03,750 --> 00:35:00,960 running water coming from outside a 923 00:35:05,750 --> 00:35:03,760 dream can impact the world space within 924 00:35:07,829 --> 00:35:05,760 the dream like you'll suddenly think 925 00:35:10,230 --> 00:35:07,839 you're by a stream when you hear water 926 00:35:13,030 --> 00:35:10,240 coming from outside the dream 927 00:35:15,670 --> 00:35:13,040 so too can these others it would seem 928 00:35:16,630 --> 00:35:15,680 enter into our shared dream space our 929 00:35:19,510 --> 00:35:16,640 world 930 00:35:21,190 --> 00:35:19,520 and manifest qualities within it 931 00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:21,200 even qualities that are fully 932 00:35:25,750 --> 00:35:23,920 quantitative and thus measurable like 933 00:35:27,990 --> 00:35:25,760 solid objects 934 00:35:31,910 --> 00:35:28,000 what i'm referring to here is a model of 935 00:35:33,670 --> 00:35:31,920 reality known as metaphysical idealism 936 00:35:35,349 --> 00:35:33,680 and not only do i think it best fits 937 00:35:38,710 --> 00:35:35,359 with the data we've seen arise from the 938 00:35:40,630 --> 00:35:38,720 ufo phenomenon over many decades now 939 00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:40,640 but i also think it clearly makes the 940 00:35:45,750 --> 00:35:42,560 best sense of converging streams of 941 00:35:48,230 --> 00:35:45,760 evidence arising in other fields such as 942 00:35:50,710 --> 00:35:48,240 neuroscience and quantum mechanics as 943 00:35:53,750 --> 00:35:50,720 i've touched on before 944 00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:53,760 now again this is a lot to digest 945 00:35:57,270 --> 00:35:55,359 rest assured that we will be breaking 946 00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:57,280 this down in the weeks and months to 947 00:36:02,470 --> 00:35:59,839 come so bear with me there's a lot to 948 00:36:04,870 --> 00:36:02,480 get to and much of it while very well 949 00:36:06,790 --> 00:36:04,880 supported in terms of evidence does 950 00:36:09,670 --> 00:36:06,800 often fly in the face of the way we've 951 00:36:11,589 --> 00:36:09,680 been raised to think about reality 952 00:36:13,750 --> 00:36:11,599 but this at least gives you some sense 953 00:36:15,829 --> 00:36:13,760 of where we're headed and some sense of 954 00:36:18,630 --> 00:36:15,839 what terrain will be traversing as we 955 00:36:22,310 --> 00:36:18,640 continue to pursue clarity in this most 956 00:36:24,950 --> 00:36:22,320 thorny but enthralling of topics 957 00:36:26,790 --> 00:36:24,960 and on that note we've come to the close 958 00:36:28,550 --> 00:36:26,800 of another edition of the point of 959 00:36:30,630 --> 00:36:28,560 convergence podcast 960 00:36:34,230 -->
