did very very quickly he 46 00:01:31,350 --> 00:01:28,640 brought it back and he brought 47 00:01:32,870 --> 00:01:31,360 the torch and put the torch on and shot 48 00:01:34,630 --> 00:01:32,880 it to 49 00:01:35,590 --> 00:01:34,640 the the craft 50 00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:35,600 and 51 00:01:41,670 --> 00:01:37,280 as he did so 52 00:01:44,870 --> 00:01:43,030 this way 53 00:01:47,749 --> 00:01:44,880 and 54 00:01:50,310 --> 00:01:47,759 we were dumbfounded when we looked at 55 00:01:52,230 --> 00:01:50,320 the craft and the craft was as though it 56 00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,240 was responding to the torch 57 00:01:59,590 --> 00:01:55,200 it began to do this too you know like a 58 00:02:02,230 --> 00:01:59,600 uh a disc shaped object just uh moving 59 00:02:03,910 --> 00:02:02,240 the same way uh responding to the the 60 00:02:06,789 --> 00:02:03,920 movement of the torch 61 00:02:09,109 --> 00:02:06,799 next day uh just prior to the evening 62 00:02:12,229 --> 00:02:09,119 service about seven o'clock 63 00:02:13,910 --> 00:02:12,239 the thing was there again it had arrived 64 00:02:15,589 --> 00:02:13,920 about an hour earlier 65 00:02:18,630 --> 00:02:15,599 and um we 66 00:02:21,110 --> 00:02:18,640 all decided to have the normal even song 67 00:02:23,510 --> 00:02:21,120 that we do have on 68 00:02:25,750 --> 00:02:23,520 those uh nights 69 00:02:27,910 --> 00:02:25,760 because uh well the thing was out there 70 00:02:30,309 --> 00:02:27,920 outside the church anyway and we thought 71 00:02:33,030 --> 00:02:30,319 it wouldn't go away during the service 72 00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:33,040 and it didn't when we came out there it 73 00:02:38,790 --> 00:02:36,080 was still up in the sky and so for 74 00:02:39,670 --> 00:02:38,800 another hour or two we watched 75 00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:39,680 um 76 00:02:44,390 --> 00:02:43,040 and then suddenly it did go 77 00:02:47,270 --> 00:02:44,400 and 78 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:47,280 there was this amazingly incredible 79 00:02:49,589 --> 00:02:48,560 speed 80 00:02:50,869 --> 00:02:49,599 that the 81 00:02:54,150 --> 00:02:50,879 whole craft 82 00:02:56,790 --> 00:02:54,160 disappeared uh to nothing uh across the 83 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:56,800 bay uh in a matter of a second or so 84 00:03:00,470 --> 00:02:58,239 well now 85 00:03:01,910 --> 00:03:00,480 what are we to think of this kind of 86 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:01,920 phenomenon 87 00:03:07,830 --> 00:03:04,640 people claiming to see 88 00:03:10,550 --> 00:03:07,840 things such as i did there are 38 of us 89 00:03:11,830 --> 00:03:10,560 and we all believe that we saw us but of 90 00:03:13,830 --> 00:03:11,840 course we 91 00:03:18,390 --> 00:03:13,840 don't expect other people to believe us 92 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:18,400 if we if they don't want to 93 00:03:25,910 --> 00:03:21,360 as i see it there are several 94 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:25,920 important things which uh remain most 95 00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:27,920 foremost in my mind and it means that 96 00:03:32,869 --> 00:03:30,799 i'm going to speak of not to give you uh 97 00:03:34,789 --> 00:03:32,879 detail or word for word of what the 98 00:03:36,949 --> 00:03:34,799 report consisted of 99 00:03:38,550 --> 00:03:36,959 and the first thing that comes to mind 100 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:38,560 uh in this 101 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:40,400 subject is 102 00:03:45,509 --> 00:03:42,720 as we were talking uh with uh pete and 103 00:03:46,789 --> 00:03:45,519 charles and then together about 104 00:03:48,710 --> 00:03:46,799 a 105 00:03:49,509 --> 00:03:48,720 doctor ken houston 106 00:03:51,589 --> 00:03:49,519 who 107 00:03:55,110 --> 00:03:51,599 in fact saw something at the time of the 108 00:03:57,830 --> 00:03:55,120 sputnik um a place called mira where he 109 00:03:58,830 --> 00:03:57,840 was stationed in new guinea 110 00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,840 in 111 00:04:02,229 --> 00:04:00,799 1959 112 00:04:04,149 --> 00:04:02,239 the 113 00:04:06,149 --> 00:04:04,159 russian satellite 114 00:04:07,830 --> 00:04:06,159 should have been going in one direction 115 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:07,840 and he saw it going in the opposite 116 00:04:12,869 --> 00:04:09,599 direction 117 00:04:14,390 --> 00:04:12,879 and he theorized 118 00:04:16,229 --> 00:04:14,400 rightly so i guess 119 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:16,239 at the dinner table the following day 120 00:04:21,189 --> 00:04:19,199 that it must have been a flying saucer 121 00:04:23,110 --> 00:04:21,199 and this is the first occasion which i 122 00:04:27,030 --> 00:04:23,120 never heard anybody 123 00:04:28,710 --> 00:04:27,040 refer to flying saucers effect 124 00:04:30,710 --> 00:04:28,720 there was a gathering about the size of 125 00:04:33,030 --> 00:04:30,720 this tonight all sitting around the 126 00:04:35,990 --> 00:04:33,040 table and then the subject got off the 127 00:04:38,390 --> 00:04:36,000 flying saucers and uh of course nobody 128 00:04:40,310 --> 00:04:38,400 that dr ken houston really believed that 129 00:04:42,710 --> 00:04:40,320 they existed 130 00:04:45,270 --> 00:04:42,720 sometime after this and i say sometimes 131 00:04:47,110 --> 00:04:45,280 it was a matter of months 132 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:47,120 i was coming back from a 133 00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:49,120 three-week walk about 134 00:04:53,430 --> 00:04:51,120 walk about as a patrol 135 00:04:55,430 --> 00:04:53,440 and uh it was my job at that particular 136 00:04:57,909 --> 00:04:55,440 time in 1959 137 00:04:59,749 --> 00:04:57,919 to be an inspector of schools 138 00:05:01,830 --> 00:04:59,759 there was there were 12 schools in the 139 00:05:03,670 --> 00:05:01,840 very large district uh some of them up 140 00:05:06,790 --> 00:05:03,680 in the old stanley ranges 141 00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:06,800 and it was my job to go around and check 142 00:05:11,749 --> 00:05:09,919 on them and as an inspector might do and 143 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:11,759 then on my way back 144 00:05:15,590 --> 00:05:13,520 the normal thing was to capture get a 145 00:05:18,710 --> 00:05:15,600 whaleback of a whaleboat waiting for me 146 00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:18,720 at a particular spot and to row back uh 147 00:05:21,990 --> 00:05:20,160 along the coast 148 00:05:24,629 --> 00:05:22,000 and was on this particular night as i 149 00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:24,639 was drawing into my home station 150 00:05:29,110 --> 00:05:26,639 um somewhere between seven and eight 151 00:05:30,390 --> 00:05:29,120 eight i guess of course i guess 152 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:30,400 i looked across 153 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:34,320 towards the mountains the mountain range 154 00:05:38,710 --> 00:05:36,479 a mountain which i knew very well 155 00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:38,720 and there i saw what we what i thought 156 00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:39,600 was 157 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,680 a tully lamp the silly lamp is a 158 00:05:45,909 --> 00:05:43,199 pressure 159 00:05:48,550 --> 00:05:45,919 paraben lamp and 160 00:05:51,590 --> 00:05:48,560 at a distance it sparkles rather like 161 00:05:53,749 --> 00:05:51,600 the magnesium children's 162 00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,759 play things they all know 163 00:05:58,790 --> 00:05:55,600 what they call sparkles yeah rather like 164 00:06:00,550 --> 00:05:58,800 this in the bed except that it drowned 165 00:06:03,749 --> 00:06:00,560 and i took it to be a tilly lab and it 166 00:06:06,629 --> 00:06:03,759 was only afterwards that i thought maybe 167 00:06:08,550 --> 00:06:06,639 it was not in fact i thought that it 168 00:06:10,469 --> 00:06:08,560 could not have been because on this 169 00:06:13,270 --> 00:06:10,479 particular mountain which is something 170 00:06:15,270 --> 00:06:13,280 over two thousand feet high um 171 00:06:17,270 --> 00:06:15,280 it was rather desolate and certainly 172 00:06:19,189 --> 00:06:17,280 there were no gardens there certainly 173 00:06:20,469 --> 00:06:19,199 nobody in his right mind would be up 174 00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:20,479 there 175 00:06:25,350 --> 00:06:23,280 without a particular reason um 176 00:06:27,270 --> 00:06:25,360 such as being a member of a geographical 177 00:06:28,629 --> 00:06:27,280 society or something like this for this 178 00:06:31,510 --> 00:06:28,639 description 179 00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,520 and certainly nobody would be up here at 180 00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:33,600 night with a tilly lamp now these 181 00:06:38,629 --> 00:06:36,240 thoughts pass through my mind as i gaze 182 00:06:40,629 --> 00:06:38,639 up to this light from the sea 183 00:06:42,150 --> 00:06:40,639 but still it 184 00:06:43,350 --> 00:06:42,160 was far from 185 00:06:45,590 --> 00:06:43,360 um 186 00:06:47,749 --> 00:06:45,600 subject of flying sources and so 187 00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:47,759 i accepted that there was just somebody 188 00:06:53,430 --> 00:06:50,720 stupid enough to to be there 189 00:06:55,430 --> 00:06:53,440 when i arrived home however 190 00:06:57,830 --> 00:06:55,440 again i was rather remote from the 191 00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:57,840 subject because i was not 192 00:07:03,909 --> 00:07:00,960 well informed neither was i 193 00:07:07,189 --> 00:07:03,919 really interested in the subject of ufos 194 00:07:09,749 --> 00:07:07,199 but when i arrived home um one of my 195 00:07:13,270 --> 00:07:09,759 uh head teachers 196 00:07:17,670 --> 00:07:13,280 native papuan teachers um by the name of 197 00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:17,680 uh steven moy gill 198 00:07:24,950 --> 00:07:23,350 he 199 00:07:27,510 --> 00:07:24,960 came to me and said 200 00:07:29,830 --> 00:07:27,520 last sunday night i saw a rather strange 201 00:07:31,670 --> 00:07:29,840 thing uh you know all there is to know 202 00:07:32,550 --> 00:07:31,680 about strange things you tell me what it 203 00:07:34,230 --> 00:07:32,560 is 204 00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:34,240 and then he described and i've written 205 00:07:39,029 --> 00:07:36,560 this down in a letter that i wrote to a 206 00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:39,039 friend of mine david jury who was the 207 00:07:43,029 --> 00:07:41,120 head and principal of the sundays 208 00:07:43,749 --> 00:07:43,039 teachers 209 00:07:47,270 --> 00:07:43,759 um college 210 00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:47,280 describes an object over the sea 211 00:07:52,390 --> 00:07:49,520 and um i asked you more kinds of 212 00:07:55,029 --> 00:07:52,400 questions about it its size its shape uh 213 00:07:57,029 --> 00:07:55,039 was it like a sixth was it like a plate 214 00:07:59,430 --> 00:07:57,039 and each time he came back he said no it 215 00:08:01,589 --> 00:07:59,440 was like a saucer this is the the 216 00:08:02,710 --> 00:08:01,599 nearest thing that i can 217 00:08:04,550 --> 00:08:02,720 uh 218 00:08:05,749 --> 00:08:04,560 that i can relate it to 219 00:08:07,909 --> 00:08:05,759 and 220 00:08:09,670 --> 00:08:07,919 i'm assuming that at least there are a 221 00:08:10,790 --> 00:08:09,680 few people here who have read that 222 00:08:13,189 --> 00:08:10,800 letter 223 00:08:15,510 --> 00:08:13,199 if you haven't mister down here will 224 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:15,520 show you that you have a copy of this 225 00:08:17,430 --> 00:08:16,319 scene 226 00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:17,440 and uh 227 00:08:22,070 --> 00:08:19,680 it was from then that i became rather 228 00:08:23,670 --> 00:08:22,080 curious and remember how i signed that 229 00:08:27,110 --> 00:08:23,680 to david jerry 230 00:08:29,670 --> 00:08:27,120 who later on by the way was able to sign 231 00:08:31,510 --> 00:08:29,680 another statement that he and his wife 232 00:08:34,149 --> 00:08:31,520 had seen with flagshus but before this 233 00:08:37,029 --> 00:08:34,159 of course he was interested academically 234 00:08:40,230 --> 00:08:37,039 but not totally convinced and 235 00:08:43,029 --> 00:08:40,240 what did i sign myself as uh 236 00:08:44,949 --> 00:08:43,039 bill that's right doubting bill um now 237 00:08:47,110 --> 00:08:44,959 you see with this signature this is 238 00:08:50,310 --> 00:08:47,120 going back in retrospect in this 239 00:08:52,870 --> 00:08:50,320 signature uh there was 240 00:08:54,949 --> 00:08:52,880 somehow or other performing in my mind 241 00:08:56,949 --> 00:08:54,959 the possibility 242 00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:56,959 of these things 243 00:09:01,110 --> 00:09:00,240 the integrity in my mind 244 00:09:02,870 --> 00:09:01,120 of 245 00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,880 stephen lloyd 246 00:09:08,710 --> 00:09:04,399 could never be doubted 247 00:09:12,150 --> 00:09:08,720 i i had extreme trust and faith in him 248 00:09:12,870 --> 00:09:12,160 as a character as an honest person 249 00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:12,880 and 250 00:09:18,630 --> 00:09:17,600 mentioning uh just a short time ago 251 00:09:19,829 --> 00:09:18,640 about 252 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:19,839 in fact 253 00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:22,080 the significance and the importance of 254 00:09:25,910 --> 00:09:24,640 having doubts 255 00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:25,920 the scientists 256 00:09:30,710 --> 00:09:28,399 having doubts and how this can lead then 257 00:09:32,949 --> 00:09:30,720 to research and investigation so i guess 258 00:09:34,470 --> 00:09:32,959 i must have been at this kind of 259 00:09:35,269 --> 00:09:34,480 stage 260 00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:35,279 and 261 00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:37,279 then of course before i sent the letter 262 00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:39,120 off then the 263 00:09:45,430 --> 00:09:42,959 actual sightings that might occur 264 00:09:49,269 --> 00:09:45,440 now not talking about actual incidents 265 00:09:50,630 --> 00:09:49,279 or or why it was how it was recorded 266 00:09:53,350 --> 00:09:50,640 but the few 267 00:09:55,750 --> 00:09:53,360 things that stand most foremost in my 268 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:55,760 mind this is going back now 11 and a 269 00:09:58,870 --> 00:09:57,200 half years 270 00:10:01,670 --> 00:09:58,880 and there are some things which are 271 00:10:04,550 --> 00:10:01,680 tremendously vivid 272 00:10:06,150 --> 00:10:04,560 um i'll mention them 273 00:10:13,670 --> 00:10:06,160 the 274 00:10:17,269 --> 00:10:13,680 viewers with a vivid 275 00:10:21,110 --> 00:10:17,279 pictorial impression in my 276 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:26,389 separated a a separated 277 00:10:32,310 --> 00:10:29,430 portion or a dark portion between it 278 00:10:34,389 --> 00:10:32,320 and this sparkly knight so there's a 279 00:10:35,670 --> 00:10:34,399 light outline 280 00:10:39,750 --> 00:10:35,680 darkness 281 00:10:42,630 --> 00:10:39,760 and the object itself that is most lived 282 00:10:45,509 --> 00:10:42,640 another nice little thing is the 283 00:10:46,550 --> 00:10:45,519 shaft of blue electric 284 00:10:49,509 --> 00:10:46,560 light 285 00:10:51,350 --> 00:10:49,519 uh emanating from the 286 00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:51,360 top of the craft 287 00:10:56,790 --> 00:10:54,240 up towards the heavens 288 00:10:59,269 --> 00:10:56,800 an electric blue light 289 00:11:02,630 --> 00:10:59,279 rather i think i described 290 00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:02,640 as a pencil with lion 291 00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:03,839 another 292 00:11:08,870 --> 00:11:06,399 very vivid impression remains there 293 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:08,880 without any doubts at all but in my own 294 00:11:12,470 --> 00:11:11,120 mind in any case that i saw it and that 295 00:11:15,110 --> 00:11:12,480 is 296 00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:15,120 the waving men 297 00:11:20,069 --> 00:11:18,000 um i saw amy michelle 298 00:11:22,310 --> 00:11:20,079 on saturday he said you know there was a 299 00:11:24,230 --> 00:11:22,320 character also he saw somebody wave and 300 00:11:26,230 --> 00:11:24,240 they said well that's me he said oh 301 00:11:28,389 --> 00:11:26,240 thank you 302 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:28,399 and so it kind of became what even what 303 00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:30,160 is this um 304 00:11:35,990 --> 00:11:33,120 but this in fact is one thing which 305 00:11:37,030 --> 00:11:36,000 i just can't count white out of my 306 00:11:37,829 --> 00:11:37,040 mind 307 00:11:39,430 --> 00:11:37,839 that 308 00:11:41,670 --> 00:11:39,440 something 309 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:41,680 that looked human 310 00:11:46,470 --> 00:11:43,760 waves in this 311 00:11:50,069 --> 00:11:46,480 apparent response the way the way that 312 00:11:54,389 --> 00:11:52,310 outside of the report itself 313 00:11:56,790 --> 00:11:54,399 there were one or two incidents which i 314 00:11:58,629 --> 00:11:56,800 recorded because i felt that it was 315 00:12:00,550 --> 00:11:58,639 going to be 316 00:12:03,430 --> 00:12:00,560 a reasonable report that they should be 317 00:12:04,790 --> 00:12:03,440 entered although i didn't attach 318 00:12:06,470 --> 00:12:04,800 any theories about whether they were 319 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:06,480 connected with the event of the sighting 320 00:12:10,949 --> 00:12:07,760 or not 321 00:12:12,389 --> 00:12:10,959 one was this ear splitting uh sound 322 00:12:14,230 --> 00:12:12,399 noise 323 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:14,240 like a 324 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:17,519 a gun report i guess or 325 00:12:23,829 --> 00:12:19,760 something which in this case had been 326 00:12:25,030 --> 00:12:23,839 out of my experience before 327 00:12:27,030 --> 00:12:25,040 that evening 328 00:12:27,990 --> 00:12:27,040 uh it was overcast 329 00:12:29,509 --> 00:12:28,000 and 330 00:12:31,509 --> 00:12:29,519 i was inside 331 00:12:32,550 --> 00:12:31,519 and then there was this great 332 00:12:34,150 --> 00:12:32,560 noise 333 00:12:35,190 --> 00:12:34,160 i looked out the window could see 334 00:12:36,470 --> 00:12:35,200 nothing 335 00:12:38,949 --> 00:12:36,480 some people have asked me whether i 336 00:12:40,310 --> 00:12:38,959 smelled anything i don't recall smelling 337 00:12:42,310 --> 00:12:40,320 anything either 338 00:12:44,870 --> 00:12:42,320 but that's the noise which will always 339 00:12:47,990 --> 00:12:44,880 remain with me the old one was also a 340 00:12:53,350 --> 00:12:50,470 again after this out of sighting and 341 00:12:55,670 --> 00:12:53,360 that was the noise as though something 342 00:12:56,470 --> 00:12:55,680 had been dropped from a great height 343 00:12:58,710 --> 00:12:56,480 some 344 00:13:01,910 --> 00:12:58,720 metallic substance i guess 345 00:13:02,629 --> 00:13:01,920 being dropped from a great height onto 346 00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:02,639 the 347 00:13:11,990 --> 00:13:09,760 building i was in 348 00:13:13,990 --> 00:13:12,000 uh so convinced i was that something had 349 00:13:16,310 --> 00:13:14,000 been dropped 350 00:13:18,389 --> 00:13:16,320 but i got somebody to climb up the next 351 00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:18,399 morning to examine the road and nobody 352 00:13:21,350 --> 00:13:20,160 could find any article never could find 353 00:13:22,949 --> 00:13:21,360 any dents 354 00:13:23,910 --> 00:13:22,959 what that was whether it was connected 355 00:13:26,790 --> 00:13:23,920 with the 356 00:13:28,870 --> 00:13:26,800 events of the night i had no idea but i 357 00:13:31,910 --> 00:13:28,880 wrote those down 358 00:13:33,990 --> 00:13:31,920 and as a rather as a supplement for 359 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:34,000 gender rather than part of the report 360 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:35,519 itself 361 00:13:39,350 --> 00:13:37,440 but why did i report this thing why 362 00:13:43,750 --> 00:13:39,360 didn't i just stand and look 363 00:13:48,790 --> 00:13:47,110 well this i suppose was the fact that 364 00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,800 i've been doing some 365 00:13:53,110 --> 00:13:50,399 uh a bit of 366 00:13:55,269 --> 00:13:53,120 journalistic work and uh also that i've 367 00:13:56,310 --> 00:13:55,279 been been doing um 368 00:13:59,670 --> 00:13:56,320 some uh 369 00:14:01,750 --> 00:13:59,680 other studies and uh i was in the habit 370 00:14:04,949 --> 00:14:01,760 of carrying 371 00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:04,959 paper and pencil for this very thing 372 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:08,399 and uh i suppose when i first saw this 373 00:14:13,269 --> 00:14:11,120 object and had distinguished it from 374 00:14:16,230 --> 00:14:13,279 venus because it was in 375 00:14:18,150 --> 00:14:16,240 virtually the same direction 376 00:14:20,870 --> 00:14:18,160 that i thought well now this is what 377 00:14:21,750 --> 00:14:20,880 i've been waiting for i guess i thought 378 00:14:28,470 --> 00:14:21,760 this 379 00:14:30,150 --> 00:14:28,480 believe unless i write it down in fact i 380 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:30,160 won't believe it unless i write it down 381 00:14:34,389 --> 00:14:32,399 either because you know how it is 382 00:14:35,990 --> 00:14:34,399 especially in the topics uh i didn't 383 00:14:38,069 --> 00:14:36,000 have any whiskey on board but you never 384 00:14:40,790 --> 00:14:38,079 know uh that people might might or might 385 00:14:42,550 --> 00:14:40,800 not believe that and uh i wrote this 386 00:14:44,150 --> 00:14:42,560 down 387 00:14:47,590 --> 00:14:44,160 minute by minute whatever whenever 388 00:14:50,389 --> 00:14:47,600 anything happened uh i put it down 389 00:14:53,910 --> 00:14:50,399 and it was just as simple as that 390 00:14:55,910 --> 00:14:53,920 i had a rather academic approach to it i 391 00:14:57,829 --> 00:14:55,920 was not excited 392 00:14:59,189 --> 00:14:57,839 not that i remember 393 00:15:01,030 --> 00:14:59,199 certainly i 394 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:01,040 had a calm enough mind to be able to 395 00:15:04,870 --> 00:15:02,560 record the events 396 00:15:10,949 --> 00:15:04,880 without 397 00:15:12,710 --> 00:15:10,959 i wonder too if the 398 00:15:15,430 --> 00:15:12,720 reason for the 399 00:15:17,110 --> 00:15:15,440 same well rather saying behavior on the 400 00:15:18,310 --> 00:15:17,120 part of the natives 401 00:15:20,150 --> 00:15:18,320 was 402 00:15:22,069 --> 00:15:20,160 because uh 403 00:15:24,230 --> 00:15:22,079 i treated it 404 00:15:26,470 --> 00:15:24,240 as a reasonable sort of thing rather 405 00:15:28,550 --> 00:15:26,480 than becoming agitated 406 00:15:31,110 --> 00:15:28,560 and um i believe that 407 00:15:33,269 --> 00:15:31,120 had i become truly excited 408 00:15:35,509 --> 00:15:33,279 they would have become terribly excited 409 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:35,519 too have i been in fear they would have 410 00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:37,519 been i feel that they were 411 00:15:41,590 --> 00:15:40,000 they were watching me for leave because 412 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:41,600 it was out of their experience i asked 413 00:15:44,790 --> 00:15:42,720 them afterwards had they ever seen 414 00:15:47,350 --> 00:15:44,800 anything like this before stephen moyer 415 00:15:48,150 --> 00:15:47,360 of course had um a different kind of 416 00:15:50,550 --> 00:15:48,160 thing 417 00:15:51,430 --> 00:15:50,560 but um he was the only one really who 418 00:15:53,189 --> 00:15:51,440 was 419 00:15:56,150 --> 00:15:53,199 possibly 420 00:15:59,350 --> 00:15:56,160 more interested in it than 421 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:59,360 than i would have imagined 422 00:16:02,470 --> 00:16:00,240 well 423 00:16:03,670 --> 00:16:02,480 this is a brief outline of just all the 424 00:16:06,790 --> 00:16:03,680 reminiscing 425 00:16:07,749 --> 00:16:06,800 and um i feel that you know as much 426 00:16:09,509 --> 00:16:07,759 about 427 00:16:13,030 --> 00:16:09,519 this uh these 428 00:16:14,470 --> 00:16:13,040 these sightings uh as uh as i do myself 429 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:14,480 by now they've been 430 00:16:19,590 --> 00:16:17,199 uh passed from person to person i was in 431 00:16:22,150 --> 00:16:19,600 there in birmingham a week ago i picked 432 00:16:24,310 --> 00:16:22,160 up a book on ufos i was rather surprised 433 00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:24,320 to find there i can't tell you what the 434 00:16:29,749 --> 00:16:26,560 title was now but i think it was sent 435 00:16:32,710 --> 00:16:29,759 for about five or six months and 436 00:16:34,710 --> 00:16:32,720 what uh what i saw and how i saw it and 437 00:16:38,710 --> 00:16:34,720 the reason for my seeing it 438 00:16:42,389 --> 00:16:41,030 but there it was um this is not the 439 00:16:45,430 --> 00:16:42,399 first occasion of course i've seen 440 00:16:48,389 --> 00:16:45,440 things like this but um apart from that 441 00:16:49,509 --> 00:16:48,399 that sort of thing um you you know the 442 00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:49,519 kind of 443 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:51,440 you know what i feel that's right 444 00:16:55,269 --> 00:16:53,519 everybody's familiar with with what i 445 00:16:57,350 --> 00:16:55,279 wrote in those days 446 00:16:59,670 --> 00:16:57,360 and um well if they're not they soon 447 00:17:02,550 --> 00:16:59,680 will be soon 448 00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:02,560 i'm very happy to uh 449 00:17:07,350 --> 00:17:05,600 to make clear uh any other little points 450 00:17:09,029 --> 00:17:07,360 perhaps that people might be interested 451 00:17:16,870 --> 00:17:09,039 in 452 00:17:20,870 --> 00:17:18,949 would they like to ask which i have some 453 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:20,880 questions 454 00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:23,760 when you saw this thing and looked at it 455 00:17:27,510 --> 00:17:25,600 and i appreciate that this could only be 456 00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:27,520 a subjective impression that you asked 457 00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:28,640 at all 458 00:17:32,870 --> 00:17:30,160 did you have an impression of being 459 00:17:33,909 --> 00:17:32,880 observed 460 00:17:35,909 --> 00:17:33,919 um 461 00:17:41,590 --> 00:17:35,919 no i didn't you know 462 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,669 well i tell you why 463 00:17:47,110 --> 00:17:45,600 because it seemed as though the people 464 00:17:48,789 --> 00:17:47,120 on the crowd 465 00:17:50,789 --> 00:17:48,799 let's assume they're people and we've 466 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,799 got to start somewhere uh we're more 467 00:17:54,789 --> 00:17:52,480 interested in what they were doing on 468 00:17:56,710 --> 00:17:54,799 the path than in us 469 00:17:58,789 --> 00:17:56,720 this was the impression we thought 470 00:18:11,909 --> 00:17:58,799 may i just compliment that person by 471 00:18:17,990 --> 00:18:15,350 definition of observation yeah um 472 00:18:18,870 --> 00:18:18,000 it's i think in my report you will see 473 00:18:21,590 --> 00:18:18,880 that 474 00:18:22,549 --> 00:18:21,600 uh they waved and then they carried on 475 00:18:26,830 --> 00:18:22,559 with 476 00:18:27,909 --> 00:18:26,840 business was undead 477 00:18:29,110 --> 00:18:27,919 um many 478 00:18:30,950 --> 00:18:29,120 um 479 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:30,960 we fought for 480 00:18:35,590 --> 00:18:32,480 always 481 00:18:53,830 --> 00:18:35,600 uh not not once no there were four the 482 00:18:59,510 --> 00:18:57,190 how many actual sightings were 483 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:59,520 two nights which we could 484 00:19:02,710 --> 00:19:00,960 uh 485 00:19:08,830 --> 00:19:02,720 really be certain that 486 00:19:13,110 --> 00:19:10,710 well 487 00:19:15,190 --> 00:19:13,120 uh david jerry the man i mentioned in 488 00:19:16,950 --> 00:19:15,200 the teacher's college was 489 00:19:19,350 --> 00:19:16,960 my first correspondent 490 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:19,360 and i asked him actually norman console 491 00:19:23,750 --> 00:19:21,760 uh ken and norman cattle 492 00:19:26,070 --> 00:19:23,760 was on patrol at that particular time 493 00:19:28,630 --> 00:19:26,080 and i mentioned today with jerry asking 494 00:19:29,909 --> 00:19:28,640 him whether he thought it would be worth 495 00:19:31,830 --> 00:19:29,919 or whether norman cut would be 496 00:19:32,630 --> 00:19:31,840 interested because northern couple had 497 00:19:36,310 --> 00:19:32,640 been 498 00:19:39,190 --> 00:19:36,320 uh as an unofficial chronicler 499 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:39,200 of sightings that have been going on in 500 00:19:45,110 --> 00:19:42,000 new zealand you're getting for months 501 00:19:48,549 --> 00:19:45,120 um he had been keeping records of people 502 00:19:49,669 --> 00:19:48,559 uh coming in from all kinds of places up 503 00:19:51,029 --> 00:19:49,679 in the hills 504 00:19:53,830 --> 00:19:51,039 um 505 00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:53,840 and uh along the coast and on boats 506 00:19:59,750 --> 00:19:56,559 such recordings as um 507 00:20:01,430 --> 00:19:59,760 uh moons exploding this kind of thing i 508 00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:01,440 just i don't remember how many there 509 00:20:04,710 --> 00:20:03,360 were but there's quite a number of them 510 00:20:06,310 --> 00:20:04,720 and so i mentioned today to entertain 511 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:06,320 today 512 00:20:10,230 --> 00:20:07,679 did he think 513 00:20:12,470 --> 00:20:10,240 um norman would be interested 514 00:20:15,270 --> 00:20:12,480 i sent a copy over to norman 515 00:20:19,110 --> 00:20:15,280 uh norman then sent it on to brisbane 516 00:20:20,789 --> 00:20:19,510 go people 517 00:20:23,029 --> 00:20:20,799 papers 518 00:20:24,789 --> 00:20:23,039 that's how it came out 519 00:20:26,870 --> 00:20:24,799 could i ask chris 520 00:20:28,310 --> 00:20:26,880 uh we've read a lot in recent years 521 00:20:30,230 --> 00:20:28,320 about some 522 00:20:32,830 --> 00:20:30,240 of the popular accounts 523 00:20:36,149 --> 00:20:32,840 of the cargo cult among 524 00:20:39,029 --> 00:20:36,159 the people in guinea now 525 00:20:42,390 --> 00:20:39,039 i would just know whether any of your 526 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:42,400 native people there was a mission 527 00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:44,240 uh whether any of them were inclined to 528 00:20:49,590 --> 00:20:46,840 interpret it in terms of 529 00:20:51,190 --> 00:20:49,600 that not where i was they were rather 530 00:20:53,350 --> 00:20:51,200 more sophisticated 531 00:20:55,029 --> 00:20:53,360 um not that we i suppose that's the 532 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:55,039 wrong word to use because there are 533 00:20:59,190 --> 00:20:56,480 quite a number of sophisticated people 534 00:21:05,510 --> 00:20:59,200 who still believe in cargo cult but it 535 00:21:09,190 --> 00:21:07,750 you did say earlier that 536 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:09,200 there was one man 537 00:21:14,310 --> 00:21:11,280 who in whom you had complete confidence 538 00:21:23,909 --> 00:21:14,320 who had previous experiences yes he was 539 00:21:40,230 --> 00:21:26,870 did he have visions or did he have 540 00:21:55,830 --> 00:21:42,789 this was the only to my knowledge but he 541 00:22:00,070 --> 00:21:58,390 a person through statements 542 00:22:02,950 --> 00:22:00,080 uh i 543 00:22:04,390 --> 00:22:02,960 had no uh reason to doubt 544 00:22:05,110 --> 00:22:04,400 um 545 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:05,120 he's 546 00:22:10,230 --> 00:22:07,840 neither before nor since has he ever 547 00:22:25,190 --> 00:22:10,240 communicated with me that he's seen or 548 00:22:30,070 --> 00:22:27,510 uh because i remember it uh there was no 549 00:22:31,990 --> 00:22:30,080 reason to wave other than just to wave 550 00:22:33,669 --> 00:22:32,000 because this thing was there and there 551 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:33,679 seemed to be people on 552 00:22:38,310 --> 00:22:35,919 and which was a matter of miles or of 553 00:22:40,470 --> 00:22:38,320 hundreds of yards could you get as near 554 00:22:43,590 --> 00:22:40,480 as that no feet hundreds of hundreds of 555 00:22:45,430 --> 00:22:43,600 hundreds of feet yes 556 00:22:47,029 --> 00:22:45,440 uh not in the beginning 557 00:22:48,470 --> 00:22:47,039 it was dusk 558 00:22:50,789 --> 00:22:48,480 and um 559 00:22:53,830 --> 00:22:50,799 then of course went in darkness yes and 560 00:22:55,590 --> 00:22:53,840 was itself illuminant 561 00:22:56,630 --> 00:22:55,600 so it really was saw it by its own light 562 00:22:59,110 --> 00:22:56,640 almost 563 00:23:00,470 --> 00:22:59,120 that's right because um 564 00:23:03,990 --> 00:23:00,480 after 565 00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:04,000 it was um 566 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:06,480 there was no light apart from the stars 567 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:08,400 but i remember it it stopped about an 568 00:23:11,270 --> 00:23:09,840 hour or more 569 00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:11,280 wouldn't it yes 570 00:23:14,070 --> 00:23:13,360 yes quite a long time 571 00:23:16,149 --> 00:23:14,080 so 572 00:23:17,909 --> 00:23:16,159 you could deliberate on this question of 573 00:23:20,789 --> 00:23:17,919 distance and said how are you 574 00:23:22,470 --> 00:23:20,799 calculated here um 575 00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:22,480 any mathematicians 576 00:23:27,990 --> 00:23:25,280 otherwise i'll keep quiet 577 00:23:29,270 --> 00:23:28,000 because this is my problem 578 00:23:32,310 --> 00:23:29,280 i 579 00:23:33,750 --> 00:23:32,320 uh was aware that 580 00:23:37,830 --> 00:23:33,760 the important thing 581 00:23:40,549 --> 00:23:37,840 try to estimate the size of the craft 582 00:23:43,110 --> 00:23:40,559 so i have to assume one or two things 583 00:23:44,870 --> 00:23:43,120 most importantly i had to assume 584 00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:44,880 that the 585 00:23:49,029 --> 00:23:45,840 figures 586 00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:49,039 were of say average size 587 00:23:54,310 --> 00:23:52,240 now the average size of a perforate 588 00:23:57,750 --> 00:23:54,320 would be about five foot seven five to 589 00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:57,760 date as a normal man 590 00:24:01,830 --> 00:23:59,919 and um 591 00:24:05,269 --> 00:24:01,840 so the next day 592 00:24:06,950 --> 00:24:05,279 i got one of them i averaged sized 593 00:24:09,190 --> 00:24:06,960 school peoples 594 00:24:11,190 --> 00:24:09,200 and masked him across the playing field 595 00:24:13,190 --> 00:24:11,200 until he 596 00:24:14,549 --> 00:24:13,200 became the size of the things on the 597 00:24:16,310 --> 00:24:14,559 card 598 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:16,320 and i did this with measurement of my 599 00:24:21,350 --> 00:24:19,919 hand now whether this is uh 600 00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:21,360 the right way to go about it or not 601 00:24:24,710 --> 00:24:23,200 whether elevation makes any difference 602 00:24:26,870 --> 00:24:24,720 or not i wouldn't know but that doesn't 603 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:26,880 matter this is what i had to do 604 00:24:30,149 --> 00:24:28,240 and um 605 00:24:33,510 --> 00:24:30,159 once we got him there 606 00:24:35,590 --> 00:24:33,520 then uh my handspan which was roughly 607 00:24:37,830 --> 00:24:35,600 about five inches i had to correct that 608 00:24:42,310 --> 00:24:37,840 at one stage i said eight inches 609 00:24:45,269 --> 00:24:42,320 and then i realized that in fact uh 610 00:24:47,110 --> 00:24:45,279 when i was not conscious of 611 00:24:49,110 --> 00:24:47,120 having my hand up for a span that in 612 00:24:51,990 --> 00:24:49,120 fact it was a lot less and so i had to 613 00:24:53,190 --> 00:24:52,000 then uh readjust from eight to five 614 00:24:55,990 --> 00:24:53,200 inches 615 00:24:57,350 --> 00:24:56,000 and uh so then we got out across and i 616 00:24:58,470 --> 00:24:57,360 measured across one of the school 617 00:24:59,350 --> 00:24:58,480 buildings 618 00:25:01,029 --> 00:24:59,360 and 619 00:25:01,909 --> 00:25:01,039 told them then to get their little foot 620 00:25:04,390 --> 00:25:01,919 little 621 00:25:07,110 --> 00:25:04,400 yard rule or something and measure the 622 00:25:09,990 --> 00:25:07,120 distance and we got around what was it 623 00:25:11,909 --> 00:25:10,000 30 feet 33 feet yeah something like that 624 00:25:14,149 --> 00:25:11,919 this is the diameter of the craft this 625 00:25:15,190 --> 00:25:14,159 was no i wouldn't say diameter it was 626 00:25:17,669 --> 00:25:15,200 the link 627 00:25:20,630 --> 00:25:17,679 the length of as we saw what sheet was 628 00:25:23,909 --> 00:25:23,029 we assumed it was 629 00:25:26,310 --> 00:25:23,919 at this 630 00:25:29,350 --> 00:25:26,320 disc it was a um 631 00:25:31,110 --> 00:25:29,360 a round know 632 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:31,120 uh 633 00:25:34,310 --> 00:25:33,279 yeah 634 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:34,320 that's right 635 00:25:45,269 --> 00:25:35,520 circular 636 00:25:49,190 --> 00:25:47,269 what i described in my report as i see 637 00:25:50,710 --> 00:25:49,200 the structure which seemed to be 638 00:25:52,549 --> 00:25:50,720 the um 639 00:25:53,350 --> 00:25:52,559 rather like they're like at the top of 640 00:26:16,870 --> 00:25:53,360 the 641 00:26:19,110 --> 00:26:16,880 crown 642 00:26:21,269 --> 00:26:19,120 and then there was a what i interpreted 643 00:26:22,549 --> 00:26:21,279 as a super structure on top of that what 644 00:26:24,870 --> 00:26:22,559 shape was that 645 00:26:26,310 --> 00:26:24,880 it was reminded us because we were right 646 00:26:29,590 --> 00:26:26,320 on the coast 647 00:26:31,430 --> 00:26:29,600 and it reminded us of the superstructure 648 00:26:33,510 --> 00:26:31,440 of um 649 00:26:40,710 --> 00:26:33,520 on the deck of on the deck of the craft 650 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:43,029 in fact we could see no legs 651 00:26:47,830 --> 00:26:45,360 we could uh we assumed that there was 652 00:26:49,669 --> 00:26:47,840 from waste upwards of what you see 653 00:27:05,269 --> 00:26:49,679 were they kneeling there or what's this 654 00:27:10,230 --> 00:27:07,750 we had no binoculars 655 00:27:12,390 --> 00:27:10,240 nothing like this i mean no 656 00:27:13,909 --> 00:27:12,400 we weren't expected to say 657 00:27:18,149 --> 00:27:13,919 again 658 00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:18,159 it didn't say at one stage um i thought 659 00:27:20,789 --> 00:27:19,120 uh 660 00:27:23,430 --> 00:27:20,799 three four hundred feet something like 661 00:27:25,430 --> 00:27:23,440 that at the nearest point 662 00:27:27,990 --> 00:27:25,440 the furthest um 663 00:27:29,029 --> 00:27:28,000 you mean when we're stationary 664 00:27:31,750 --> 00:27:29,039 um 665 00:27:33,750 --> 00:27:31,760 the cloud cover i estimated on the 666 00:27:37,990 --> 00:27:33,760 by the mountain was about two thousand 667 00:27:41,830 --> 00:27:40,070 just two hanging between a quarter and 668 00:27:44,630 --> 00:27:41,840 three miles away 669 00:27:50,230 --> 00:27:47,110 you see how many judging on the uh the 670 00:27:53,669 --> 00:27:50,240 nearest point by what i assumed was a 671 00:27:55,590 --> 00:27:53,679 size away on the nearest not the third 672 00:27:56,389 --> 00:27:55,600 observations are based on the nearest 673 00:27:58,070 --> 00:27:56,399 north 674 00:28:00,389 --> 00:27:58,080 and my observations of the mention of 675 00:28:13,990 --> 00:28:00,399 the crossway yes and all these figures 676 00:28:21,350 --> 00:28:16,310 let's say between three hundred feet and 677 00:28:26,950 --> 00:28:24,389 among the quarters 678 00:29:03,269 --> 00:28:26,960 no no no no 679 00:29:07,909 --> 00:29:05,750 impressed with the disability of these 680 00:29:25,190 --> 00:29:07,919 people when they were quite close and 681 00:29:29,430 --> 00:29:27,590 but there was a stage when the cloud 682 00:29:32,149 --> 00:29:29,440 cover i estimated about two thousand 683 00:29:34,070 --> 00:29:32,159 feet judging on the height of the of the 684 00:29:35,350 --> 00:29:34,080 mountain very close to us about a couple 685 00:29:37,350 --> 00:29:35,360 of miles away 686 00:29:40,230 --> 00:29:37,360 when it was under that and there was a 687 00:29:42,549 --> 00:29:40,240 glow reflected from it emanating from it 688 00:29:45,350 --> 00:29:42,559 or seemed to be onto the 689 00:29:48,070 --> 00:29:45,360 other surface of the crowd 690 00:29:50,950 --> 00:29:48,080 so therefore it must have been around 691 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:50,960 and under 2000 feet and then 692 00:29:56,230 --> 00:29:53,760 at the stage when it came closer and in 693 00:29:58,549 --> 00:29:56,240 my report i announced that we thought it 694 00:30:01,029 --> 00:29:58,559 was going to land in fact we began 695 00:30:03,830 --> 00:30:01,039 waving hoping that it worked 696 00:30:06,950 --> 00:30:03,840 he said that your impression of being 697 00:30:09,510 --> 00:30:06,960 was the remote button coming now 698 00:30:11,190 --> 00:30:09,520 when i began just now that your 699 00:30:13,909 --> 00:30:11,200 impression was that you would have seen 700 00:30:17,510 --> 00:30:13,919 it nearer and what she's receiving 701 00:30:19,190 --> 00:30:17,520 we did directly watch it come and go yes 702 00:30:21,269 --> 00:30:19,200 the reflection on the surface of the 703 00:30:24,310 --> 00:30:21,279 cloud which you just referred to was 704 00:30:28,470 --> 00:30:24,320 this orange or yellow or rosy eight or 705 00:30:30,870 --> 00:30:28,480 red or how would you describe the color 706 00:30:33,110 --> 00:30:30,880 in your head 707 00:30:34,389 --> 00:30:33,120 was it an even color all over or did it 708 00:30:51,430 --> 00:30:34,399 i think so 709 00:30:56,230 --> 00:30:53,269 um 710 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:58,789 11 years a long time but what i can what 711 00:31:03,190 --> 00:31:00,640 i can say is that 712 00:31:05,990 --> 00:31:03,200 it tended to be a more yellowy 713 00:31:09,750 --> 00:31:06,000 light of the craft 714 00:31:11,830 --> 00:31:09,760 uh in contrast to the white 715 00:31:14,549 --> 00:31:11,840 uh 716 00:31:15,830 --> 00:31:14,559 moving light around it yes 717 00:31:18,389 --> 00:31:15,840 i asked you a 718 00:31:20,310 --> 00:31:18,399 a seemingly odd question as to whether 719 00:31:22,149 --> 00:31:20,320 you were conscious of being observed on 720 00:31:23,509 --> 00:31:22,159 the face which is rather silly if you're 721 00:31:25,590 --> 00:31:23,519 looking at something a great distance 722 00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:25,600 away how are you to know 723 00:31:29,909 --> 00:31:27,840 i meant rather this 724 00:31:32,549 --> 00:31:29,919 did you have any sort of feeling 725 00:31:34,470 --> 00:31:32,559 of a physical kind uh did you have the 726 00:31:36,789 --> 00:31:34,480 feeling of a stoated rabbit 727 00:31:40,149 --> 00:31:36,799 suddenly focusing your attention and 728 00:31:42,310 --> 00:31:40,159 unable to divert it well did you have 729 00:31:44,149 --> 00:31:42,320 any sort of tingling such as a 730 00:31:45,909 --> 00:31:44,159 frightened person might feel it because 731 00:31:49,269 --> 00:31:45,919 there's a ghost around in other words 732 00:31:52,149 --> 00:31:49,279 was there any subjective physical 733 00:31:53,590 --> 00:31:52,159 reaction to this that you can be called 734 00:31:55,909 --> 00:31:53,600 only once 735 00:31:58,549 --> 00:31:55,919 which was and that was the time of that 736 00:32:02,310 --> 00:31:58,559 noise i spoke of yes and your reaction 737 00:32:06,630 --> 00:32:04,070 aristotle 738 00:32:10,789 --> 00:32:08,389 there are certainly some kind of 739 00:32:12,549 --> 00:32:10,799 emotional reaction but i can't really 740 00:32:14,710 --> 00:32:12,559 discover 741 00:32:16,630 --> 00:32:14,720 physical i guess a little 742 00:32:19,269 --> 00:32:16,640 no there was no 743 00:32:20,149 --> 00:32:19,279 no reaction in the sense that there was 744 00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:20,159 some 745 00:32:24,630 --> 00:32:22,960 outside force acting towards me didn't 746 00:32:28,389 --> 00:32:24,640 make any noise at all 747 00:32:31,430 --> 00:32:28,399 no no no there's no smoke 748 00:32:32,310 --> 00:32:31,440 the only noises that were made 749 00:32:35,830 --> 00:32:32,320 were 750 00:32:37,509 --> 00:32:35,840 in fact when the craft was not visible 751 00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:37,519 to me 752 00:32:40,549 --> 00:32:39,039 it was out of sight 753 00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:40,559 or gone 754 00:32:44,070 --> 00:32:42,320 and i recorded them only because they 755 00:32:46,230 --> 00:32:44,080 happened not because i made any 756 00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:46,240 connection necessary connection with the 757 00:32:50,630 --> 00:32:48,559 society 758 00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:50,640 what sort of uh psychological effects 759 00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:52,880 you have on the rest of the mission 760 00:32:58,710 --> 00:32:55,279 did you notice any 761 00:33:00,870 --> 00:32:58,720 of uh sense of religious 762 00:33:02,630 --> 00:33:00,880 uh feelings 763 00:33:03,430 --> 00:33:02,640 no reactions 764 00:33:06,149 --> 00:33:03,440 no 765 00:33:08,710 --> 00:33:06,159 i did uh i made some preliminary remarks 766 00:33:10,870 --> 00:33:08,720 to report afterwards 767 00:33:12,389 --> 00:33:10,880 about this kind of thing 768 00:33:15,830 --> 00:33:12,399 and i suggest that there there were many 769 00:33:16,870 --> 00:33:15,840 suggestions which i made and which i 770 00:33:18,549 --> 00:33:16,880 i made 771 00:33:20,470 --> 00:33:18,559 virtually no comment about the only 772 00:33:22,549 --> 00:33:20,480 suggestions that passed through my mind 773 00:33:25,190 --> 00:33:22,559 and one of them was this kind of thing 774 00:33:26,789 --> 00:33:25,200 now that perhaps me as an authority 775 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:26,799 figure 776 00:33:30,950 --> 00:33:29,840 um my reaction was then being passed on 777 00:33:32,950 --> 00:33:30,960 to the 778 00:33:34,230 --> 00:33:32,960 natives who were much less sophisticated 779 00:33:36,789 --> 00:33:34,240 than i was 780 00:33:38,950 --> 00:33:36,799 and because i had an objective approach 781 00:33:41,509 --> 00:33:38,960 to it so did they 782 00:33:43,990 --> 00:33:41,519 now had i had any other 783 00:33:47,669 --> 00:33:44,000 approach other kind of approach towards 784 00:34:01,110 --> 00:33:49,269 father 785 00:34:05,029 --> 00:34:02,789 of this kind 786 00:34:06,950 --> 00:34:05,039 would seem to you to bear any 787 00:34:08,950 --> 00:34:06,960 resentments 788 00:34:10,950 --> 00:34:08,960 to that which you saw 789 00:34:13,190 --> 00:34:10,960 oh yes i have yes 790 00:34:14,950 --> 00:34:13,200 i can't uh label them for you but yes i 791 00:34:17,109 --> 00:34:14,960 have 792 00:34:20,230 --> 00:34:17,119 not in total but 793 00:34:22,550 --> 00:34:20,240 certain aspects of other sightings um 794 00:34:23,589 --> 00:34:22,560 are reasonably close to what i had seen 795 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:23,599 you see 796 00:34:28,230 --> 00:34:26,399 i you said in the photographs which are 797 00:34:30,629 --> 00:34:28,240 submitted 798 00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:30,639 and inevitably they're nearly always 799 00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:33,040 technically 800 00:34:41,030 --> 00:34:39,030 i'm an optimist by nature and 801 00:34:42,389 --> 00:34:41,040 pessimistic by experience but i'm not 802 00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:42,399 generic 803 00:34:47,510 --> 00:34:45,359 and i examine everything on these merits 804 00:34:49,829 --> 00:34:47,520 and over a period of several years 805 00:34:52,389 --> 00:34:49,839 examining many photographs of quite a 806 00:34:54,790 --> 00:34:52,399 number which are obviously fake 807 00:34:57,430 --> 00:34:54,800 um but in the things which are not and 808 00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:57,440 they are always technically there 809 00:35:00,950 --> 00:34:58,720 but 810 00:35:02,550 --> 00:35:00,960 there are certain 811 00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:02,560 resemblances 812 00:35:07,430 --> 00:35:05,280 between photographs taken at enormously 813 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:07,440 disparate points 814 00:35:14,150 --> 00:35:11,040 and they have the same kind of structure 815 00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:14,160 i don't look for a technically perfect 816 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:16,480 photograph but when you have enough bad 817 00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:18,000 photographs 818 00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:21,040 which can be related together 819 00:35:25,589 --> 00:35:23,920 has obviously bad photographs of similar 820 00:35:28,829 --> 00:35:25,599 phenomena 821 00:35:32,069 --> 00:35:28,839 this is progress of a very 822 00:35:35,109 --> 00:35:32,079 minuscule level but it is progress 823 00:35:36,630 --> 00:35:35,119 and this is as much as one can hopefully 824 00:35:39,030 --> 00:35:36,640 and therefore 825 00:35:40,790 --> 00:35:39,040 i'm very interested to know 826 00:35:43,430 --> 00:35:40,800 if you've seen any photographs which 827 00:35:45,910 --> 00:35:43,440 have been published in a review 828 00:35:49,430 --> 00:35:45,920 which in particular 829 00:35:53,349 --> 00:35:49,440 seem to be bad photographs of the sort 830 00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:53,359 of phenomena which you saw 831 00:35:57,510 --> 00:35:55,359 i can't label any of these either off my 832 00:35:59,190 --> 00:35:57,520 hand my own but there are certainly 833 00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:59,200 there are some things that sometimes 834 00:36:02,710 --> 00:36:01,200 i've passed remarks for peter about this 835 00:36:05,030 --> 00:36:02,720 in the past 836 00:36:06,630 --> 00:36:05,040 um that um 837 00:36:09,349 --> 00:36:06,640 i myself 838 00:36:12,550 --> 00:36:09,359 uh would say seem to be in some of the 839 00:36:13,829 --> 00:36:12,560 account written accounts sometimes um 840 00:36:15,589 --> 00:36:13,839 incredible 841 00:36:16,630 --> 00:36:15,599 sometimes unbelievable that i could not 842 00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:16,640 accept 843 00:36:22,230 --> 00:36:19,760 but of course this is my opinion because 844 00:36:23,589 --> 00:36:22,240 that if i have seen one kind then this 845 00:36:25,910 --> 00:36:23,599 is not to say 846 00:36:28,390 --> 00:36:25,920 but um some of the some of the accounts 847 00:36:31,670 --> 00:36:28,400 do seem even to me uh 848 00:36:33,589 --> 00:36:31,680 most remarkable um sometimes to me 849 00:36:35,430 --> 00:36:33,599 unbelievable 850 00:36:38,470 --> 00:36:35,440 um there's of course there's more than 851 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:38,480 one content i saw 852 00:36:42,310 --> 00:36:40,480 um that's also going to go into the 853 00:36:45,030 --> 00:36:42,320 report at one stage i think there were 854 00:36:46,950 --> 00:36:45,040 eight that's the figure that i just uh 855 00:36:50,150 --> 00:36:46,960 comes to mind but i think it wasn't 856 00:36:51,030 --> 00:36:50,160 certainly those of one stage 857 00:36:53,589 --> 00:36:51,040 eight 858 00:36:57,030 --> 00:36:53,599 in this car at one time pretty good yes 859 00:37:00,630 --> 00:36:58,310 no 860 00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:00,640 but there was one craft 861 00:37:07,750 --> 00:37:06,160 um which i drew and described which was 862 00:37:10,069 --> 00:37:07,760 unlike the 863 00:37:12,069 --> 00:37:10,079 this major card which i began talking 864 00:37:13,190 --> 00:37:12,079 about the mothership for the motorcraft 865 00:37:14,230 --> 00:37:13,200 to get with 866 00:37:16,150 --> 00:37:14,240 um 867 00:37:17,349 --> 00:37:16,160 it in itself seemed to be just a 868 00:37:20,710 --> 00:37:17,359 cylinder 869 00:37:23,210 --> 00:37:20,720 uh but from our distance about a quarter 870 00:37:27,910 --> 00:37:25,589 [Music] 871 00:37:31,829 --> 00:37:27,920 about a quarter of an inch thick uh from 872 00:37:34,790 --> 00:37:31,839 out from where we were and that had 873 00:37:36,470 --> 00:37:34,800 a little light spots on it rectangular 874 00:37:37,910 --> 00:37:36,480 light spots which i suppose was some 875 00:37:39,990 --> 00:37:37,920 kind of porthole 876 00:37:42,630 --> 00:37:40,000 could you please give us um some 877 00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:42,640 indication of the 878 00:37:46,390 --> 00:37:44,640 relationship and time of what you're 879 00:37:47,750 --> 00:37:46,400 speaking about now 880 00:37:48,829 --> 00:37:47,760 with the 881 00:37:51,270 --> 00:37:48,839 initial 882 00:37:52,230 --> 00:37:51,280 sighting this was all over two days two 883 00:37:56,069 --> 00:37:52,240 nights 884 00:38:00,630 --> 00:37:58,870 there were two long sightings which were 885 00:38:02,470 --> 00:38:00,640 described in the report 886 00:38:05,109 --> 00:38:02,480 now virtually these are the only ones 887 00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:05,119 that i could identify 888 00:38:09,910 --> 00:38:07,599 for how long one was two hours 889 00:38:11,109 --> 00:38:09,920 well it was longer than that i think 890 00:38:12,870 --> 00:38:11,119 wasn't it 891 00:38:16,069 --> 00:38:12,880 the new remember the figures 892 00:38:45,190 --> 00:38:16,079 but um it was a considerable time so at 893 00:38:56,710 --> 00:38:47,270 by people going about some sort of 894 00:38:56,720 --> 00:39:32,630 i mean um 895 00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:55,030 surely 896 00:39:59,750 --> 00:39:57,030 be whatever the distance whether it was 897 00:40:02,790 --> 00:39:59,760 one yard or one mile i don't know but it 898 00:40:07,750 --> 00:40:02,800 was a disc which to my eyes was about a 899 00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:09,990 i'm not scientific i'm not one of these 900 00:40:13,670 --> 00:40:12,079 fellows who knows how to measure or what 901 00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:13,680 to do which means once you've got them 902 00:40:17,589 --> 00:40:14,800 in the sky 903 00:40:20,390 --> 00:40:17,599 you see if you if i saw a plane i only 904 00:40:22,470 --> 00:40:20,400 know the uh i can only judge 905 00:40:24,390 --> 00:40:22,480 um the distance of a train because i've 906 00:40:25,430 --> 00:40:24,400 seen one on the ground of that same 907 00:40:28,630 --> 00:40:25,440 model 908 00:40:32,790 --> 00:40:28,640 but if you could a new kind of plane i'm 909 00:40:53,589 --> 00:40:34,550 you know 910 00:40:57,349 --> 00:40:54,470 uh 911 00:40:59,190 --> 00:40:57,359 form an opinion as to whether the people 912 00:41:01,430 --> 00:40:59,200 that you saw called people yes were 913 00:41:03,030 --> 00:41:01,440 killed in any way or had anything on 914 00:41:04,150 --> 00:41:03,040 their heads or were they just the cloud 915 00:41:05,190 --> 00:41:04,160 lines 916 00:41:10,470 --> 00:41:05,200 they were 917 00:41:13,589 --> 00:41:10,480 seen to be solids 918 00:41:14,790 --> 00:41:13,599 but there was no indication of clothing 919 00:41:17,910 --> 00:41:14,800 no color 920 00:41:21,829 --> 00:41:19,430 sorry 921 00:41:23,270 --> 00:41:21,839 bill did he be absolutely sure that 922 00:41:24,710 --> 00:41:23,280 there weren't just people on the deck of 923 00:41:26,230 --> 00:41:24,720 the ship offshore 924 00:41:28,390 --> 00:41:26,240 no i can't 925 00:41:30,550 --> 00:41:28,400 i can't be sure about anything all i can 926 00:41:32,550 --> 00:41:30,560 be sure about is the image that i have 927 00:41:33,270 --> 00:41:32,560 in my mind of what i saw 928 00:41:35,349 --> 00:41:33,280 and 929 00:41:37,829 --> 00:41:35,359 this had me worried this is 930 00:41:40,790 --> 00:41:37,839 the reason for my getting 931 00:41:43,030 --> 00:41:40,800 several of the more educated and monthly 932 00:41:44,470 --> 00:41:43,040 witnesses to get in the corners of the 933 00:41:46,870 --> 00:41:44,480 room and say now 934 00:41:49,349 --> 00:41:46,880 draw what you saw 935 00:41:51,910 --> 00:41:49,359 and uh three or four of those doing uh 936 00:41:54,069 --> 00:41:51,920 in the incorporating the report 937 00:41:55,430 --> 00:41:54,079 and um if you see them 938 00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:55,440 that there are 939 00:42:00,150 --> 00:41:57,359 significant 940 00:42:05,109 --> 00:42:00,160 uh similarities 941 00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:06,470 that's right because people have 942 00:42:14,150 --> 00:42:11,440 entirely different ratios of graphics 943 00:42:16,950 --> 00:42:14,160 right you'll notice one of them um has 944 00:42:18,870 --> 00:42:16,960 in fact viewed it from uh 945 00:42:21,910 --> 00:42:18,880 from above which of course was 946 00:42:22,950 --> 00:42:21,920 impossible but it's probably amazing 947 00:42:25,030 --> 00:42:22,960 yeah 948 00:42:26,790 --> 00:42:25,040 didn't you say that the thing um 949 00:42:32,550 --> 00:42:26,800 took off after the sighting which she 950 00:42:36,309 --> 00:42:34,390 in those days are all kinds of rumors 951 00:42:38,550 --> 00:42:36,319 about uh 952 00:42:41,750 --> 00:42:38,560 uh machines with you know the atomic age 953 00:42:43,829 --> 00:42:41,760 and all that and um 954 00:42:45,589 --> 00:42:43,839 hovercraft i think it was just at the 955 00:42:47,109 --> 00:42:45,599 beginning of the age of the hovercraft 956 00:42:49,750 --> 00:42:47,119 and this could have been a hovercraft to 957 00:42:52,630 --> 00:42:49,760 us which is some kind you know and uh 958 00:42:53,829 --> 00:42:52,640 particularly me as not being 959 00:42:56,150 --> 00:42:53,839 being 960 00:42:59,270 --> 00:42:56,160 moral man of the humanities rather than 961 00:43:01,349 --> 00:42:59,280 the scientists um i was not even 962 00:43:03,910 --> 00:43:01,359 prepared in the beginning to to really 963 00:43:05,190 --> 00:43:03,920 believe that that they were not 964 00:43:07,990 --> 00:43:05,200 um 965 00:43:23,750 --> 00:43:08,000 something which was quite from the earth 966 00:43:27,670 --> 00:43:24,829 did go 967 00:43:29,910 --> 00:43:27,680 inside with some of the drawings that 968 00:43:32,470 --> 00:43:29,920 want to see in the parking lot 969 00:43:38,069 --> 00:43:32,480 um it's nothing like a holocaust 970 00:43:43,510 --> 00:43:41,190 you saw this craft and people appeared 971 00:43:45,510 --> 00:43:43,520 to be waiting on the test 972 00:43:46,630 --> 00:43:45,520 then a day passed 973 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:46,640 yes 974 00:43:49,430 --> 00:43:48,560 during which nothing was there that's 975 00:44:06,630 --> 00:43:49,440 right 976 00:44:12,790 --> 00:44:09,190 they've gone away 977 00:44:16,390 --> 00:44:15,270 yes i guess the second night i wanted 978 00:44:17,190 --> 00:44:16,400 and 979 00:44:20,470 --> 00:44:17,200 so 980 00:44:23,190 --> 00:44:20,480 eyes were 981 00:44:25,349 --> 00:44:23,200 rarely off the skies at night 982 00:44:27,510 --> 00:44:25,359 um wondering whether i don't see such a 983 00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,520 thing again 984 00:44:31,109 --> 00:44:29,280 this of course is not going to report 985 00:44:33,589 --> 00:44:31,119 because this is objectiveness over the 986 00:44:47,750 --> 00:44:33,599 objective before it was 987 00:44:54,309 --> 00:44:50,630 corrugated iron roof 988 00:44:57,349 --> 00:44:54,319 i suppose guessing and i'm only guessing 989 00:45:00,230 --> 00:44:57,359 some such effect could be obtained by 990 00:45:02,069 --> 00:45:00,240 a downward draft considerable force 991 00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:02,079 was that your impression 992 00:45:21,109 --> 00:45:18,150 no it was rather like um let's say a um 993 00:45:27,430 --> 00:45:21,119 a six-inch bolt being dropped from 994 00:45:43,430 --> 00:45:30,150 of that phenomenon 995 00:45:48,390 --> 00:45:46,309 i believe that we are going to show i 996 00:45:50,710 --> 00:45:48,400 believe we can already show 997 00:45:52,230 --> 00:45:50,720 that the connection between some of the 998 00:45:53,430 --> 00:45:52,240 investors 999 00:45:55,030 --> 00:45:53,440 if they are 1000 00:45:56,390 --> 00:45:55,040 uh there is a destination that they are 1001 00:45:57,750 --> 00:45:56,400 that this is 1002 00:46:13,109 --> 00:45:57,760 identical 1003 00:46:16,870 --> 00:46:15,030 dents there's nothing too visible 1004 00:46:19,030 --> 00:46:16,880 there's a much nicer 1005 00:46:23,109 --> 00:46:19,040 need because this is not the first one 1006 00:46:23,119 --> 00:46:27,270 now you have to have this communication 1007 00:46:32,230 --> 00:46:29,910 did you think that 1008 00:46:34,309 --> 00:46:32,240 there was a reluctance on their cars to 1009 00:46:38,309 --> 00:46:34,319 communicate back with you 1010 00:46:53,990 --> 00:46:40,550 because you insisted on the monster in 1011 00:46:59,109 --> 00:46:56,790 this was our interpretation uh but of 1012 00:47:01,430 --> 00:46:59,119 course uh it may not have happened it 1013 00:47:04,230 --> 00:47:01,440 can may not have been early but this is 1014 00:47:05,190 --> 00:47:04,240 as we felt yeah 1015 00:47:06,550 --> 00:47:05,200 like 1016 00:47:09,430 --> 00:47:06,560 for them
