1 00:00:07,670 --> 00:00:05,690 perhaps it's very appropriate to have as 2 00:00:09,890 --> 00:00:07,680 a guest speaker another fellow 3 00:00:14,030 --> 00:00:09,900 researcher 4 00:00:16,010 --> 00:00:14,040 a person who did not fly a or I should 5 00:00:19,070 --> 00:00:16,020 say did not board a flying saucer for a 6 00:00:21,830 --> 00:00:19,080 ride not saying that that isn't possible 7 00:00:24,890 --> 00:00:21,840 he didn't meet a long-haired venusian 8 00:00:27,710 --> 00:00:24,900 that may also be possible 9 00:00:30,710 --> 00:00:27,720 but however the man did 10 00:00:34,310 --> 00:00:30,720 serious investigations on the Flying 11 00:00:36,049 --> 00:00:34,320 Saucer subject he did it for three years 12 00:00:38,630 --> 00:00:36,059 he was affiliated with the international 13 00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:38,640 Flying Saucer Bureau of Bridgeport 14 00:00:43,910 --> 00:00:41,280 Connecticut his communication with a 15 00:00:45,830 --> 00:00:43,920 number of groups and individuals all 16 00:00:49,250 --> 00:00:45,840 over the world 17 00:00:50,630 --> 00:00:49,260 he publishes the saucer the saucerian 18 00:00:52,549 --> 00:00:50,640 review 19 00:00:53,510 --> 00:00:52,559 which comes out in an annual I believe 20 00:00:55,729 --> 00:00:53,520 now 21 00:00:57,049 --> 00:00:55,739 these are also available in our in our 22 00:00:59,689 --> 00:00:57,059 lobby 23 00:01:01,189 --> 00:00:59,699 he's a businessman while respecting his 24 00:01:04,549 --> 00:01:01,199 community 25 00:01:07,670 --> 00:01:04,559 he's a school teacher he's a motion 26 00:01:10,250 --> 00:01:07,680 picture booking agent the only one in 27 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:10,260 West Virginia I understand 28 00:01:16,070 --> 00:01:13,979 Mr Barker came into flying saucers 29 00:01:17,630 --> 00:01:16,080 research more or less as a skeptic he 30 00:01:19,310 --> 00:01:17,640 wanted to be convinced that's why he did 31 00:01:21,770 --> 00:01:19,320 research on it he wanted to be convinced 32 00:01:23,510 --> 00:01:21,780 either one way or another as either real 33 00:01:25,550 --> 00:01:23,520 or they're not I think he had a notion 34 00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:25,560 that perhaps they were Russian or 35 00:01:30,109 --> 00:01:28,500 perhaps owing some origin to some part 36 00:01:31,789 --> 00:01:30,119 of this world that they were not 37 00:01:33,289 --> 00:01:31,799 extraterrestrial 38 00:01:35,090 --> 00:01:33,299 I'm not going to take a stand here to 39 00:01:36,830 --> 00:01:35,100 say what his views are on it now you're 40 00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:36,840 telling himself but I think that's 41 00:01:41,749 --> 00:01:39,720 enough I'd like to introduce to you Mr 42 00:01:44,270 --> 00:01:41,759 grave Barker of Clarksburg West Virginia 43 00:01:45,230 --> 00:01:44,280 author of the new too much about flying 44 00:01:51,430 --> 00:01:45,240 saucers 45 00:01:55,510 --> 00:01:53,090 [Applause] 46 00:01:59,630 --> 00:01:55,520 thank you Don 47 00:02:01,249 --> 00:01:59,640 delegates and members of the Federation 48 00:02:02,990 --> 00:02:01,259 I hope you can hear me all right because 49 00:02:04,969 --> 00:02:03,000 I'm a little taller than the rest of you 50 00:02:07,490 --> 00:02:04,979 and the mic is down there 51 00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,500 if you can't someone yell and we'll try 52 00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:09,360 to turn up the volume 53 00:02:16,490 --> 00:02:12,540 I think one thing is very evident in the 54 00:02:19,430 --> 00:02:16,500 beginning that I am not one of the 55 00:02:21,190 --> 00:02:19,440 little men which you may have heard 56 00:02:24,830 --> 00:02:21,200 about 57 00:02:28,430 --> 00:02:24,840 not that they don't exist I think that's 58 00:02:30,589 --> 00:02:28,440 possible in fact uh don tells me that if 59 00:02:33,710 --> 00:02:30,599 any of you are really interested he has 60 00:02:37,130 --> 00:02:33,720 some in the back room which you may see 61 00:02:40,309 --> 00:02:37,140 for 50 cents additional a slight 62 00:02:47,330 --> 00:02:44,390 but um oh oh yes neither am I one of the 63 00:02:49,610 --> 00:02:47,340 men in the black suits I intended to 64 00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:49,620 bring along my Enlightenment which was I 65 00:02:52,910 --> 00:02:51,300 was going to wear but in leaving West 66 00:02:55,130 --> 00:02:52,920 Virginia in such a hurry to get up here 67 00:02:58,729 --> 00:02:55,140 I just plain forgot it 68 00:03:01,369 --> 00:02:58,739 that being about six feet four puts me 69 00:03:04,250 --> 00:03:01,379 into an advantage some of you may not 70 00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:04,260 have because I'm up here a little closer 71 00:03:09,530 --> 00:03:07,920 where all of those things are flying 72 00:03:12,290 --> 00:03:09,540 about 73 00:03:14,869 --> 00:03:12,300 yet it's rather strange that I have 74 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:14,879 never personally seen one 75 00:03:19,490 --> 00:03:16,800 a fellow called me up 76 00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:19,500 oh two months ago I was doing some uh 77 00:03:24,710 --> 00:03:21,920 some television interviews at the time 78 00:03:27,410 --> 00:03:24,720 and one of the first things he asked me 79 00:03:30,350 --> 00:03:27,420 I suppose he was trying to line up some 80 00:03:33,710 --> 00:03:30,360 sort of interview it was Mr Barker have 81 00:03:35,809 --> 00:03:33,720 you ever seen a flying saucer and uh 82 00:03:39,649 --> 00:03:35,819 wanting to be completely honest about I 83 00:03:42,710 --> 00:03:39,659 said no I have not and I heard a little 84 00:03:47,630 --> 00:03:42,720 gasp at the other end here was a man who 85 00:03:49,430 --> 00:03:47,640 thought perhaps that I having being so 86 00:03:52,390 --> 00:03:49,440 greatly interested in my subject of 87 00:03:57,289 --> 00:03:52,400 flying saucers or why I hadn't seen one 88 00:04:00,770 --> 00:03:57,299 but I had to explain to them that even 89 00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:00,780 though that I haven't seen one as many 90 00:04:08,110 --> 00:04:04,560 of you have done there is no reason why 91 00:04:12,289 --> 00:04:08,120 I should discount the stories of others 92 00:04:14,149 --> 00:04:12,299 especially the many scientific reports 93 00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:14,159 or the what we would consider the most 94 00:04:19,969 --> 00:04:17,459 reliable is by reliable Observers such 95 00:04:23,150 --> 00:04:19,979 as airline pilots who are trained to 96 00:04:25,249 --> 00:04:23,160 know what they're seeing in the sky 97 00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,259 I think that the 98 00:04:29,990 --> 00:04:28,080 maybe I haven't seen any but certainly I 99 00:04:32,770 --> 00:04:30,000 should listen to other people 100 00:04:36,050 --> 00:04:32,780 and no matter how fantastic the story 101 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:36,060 might sound to me at the beginning there 102 00:04:46,490 --> 00:04:42,000 is no reason for me to discount it yet 103 00:04:48,469 --> 00:04:46,500 I would have to say that I think that 104 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:48,479 some of the Flying Saucer stories are 105 00:04:53,409 --> 00:04:51,360 the bunk now before you start throwing 106 00:04:55,730 --> 00:04:53,419 Martian brick bets or venusian 107 00:04:58,370 --> 00:04:55,740 vegetables or whatever they have up 108 00:05:01,490 --> 00:04:58,380 there at me let me explain myself I said 109 00:05:03,110 --> 00:05:01,500 I think most saucers are the bank and 110 00:05:06,950 --> 00:05:03,120 that certainly leaves me a lot of leeway 111 00:05:09,950 --> 00:05:06,960 I think that we saucer fans are some of 112 00:05:12,530 --> 00:05:09,960 us call ourselves are as greatly as 113 00:05:15,550 --> 00:05:12,540 fault as those who won't even admit to 114 00:05:18,590 --> 00:05:15,560 the possibility of sauceries a lot of us 115 00:05:22,189 --> 00:05:18,600 interpret a lot of things that we see as 116 00:05:25,490 --> 00:05:22,199 flying saucers that perhaps may not be 117 00:05:28,310 --> 00:05:25,500 so I think that perhaps half of the 118 00:05:30,350 --> 00:05:28,320 saucers are now reported are and 119 00:05:33,170 --> 00:05:30,360 although the Air Force quite a large 120 00:05:35,270 --> 00:05:33,180 bone the misinterpretations of natural 121 00:05:37,370 --> 00:05:35,280 objects such as balloons aircraft 122 00:05:41,270 --> 00:05:37,380 celestial bodies and all the other 123 00:05:43,129 --> 00:05:41,280 explanations I think that some of them 124 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:43,139 could be explained as temperature 125 00:05:49,909 --> 00:05:48,000 inversions uh Dr Menzel Sun dogs and all 126 00:05:52,430 --> 00:05:49,919 those other natural phenomena that we 127 00:05:54,050 --> 00:05:52,440 know a little about and subsequently May 128 00:05:59,749 --> 00:05:54,060 misinterpret 129 00:06:02,510 --> 00:05:59,759 but I certainly do not discount all of 130 00:06:04,610 --> 00:06:02,520 the sightings and I think that out of 131 00:06:07,550 --> 00:06:04,620 those remaining reports we have 132 00:06:11,629 --> 00:06:07,560 something very real to go on and that's 133 00:06:13,550 --> 00:06:11,639 uh on what I have tried to base what I 134 00:06:16,730 --> 00:06:13,560 have done 135 00:06:19,070 --> 00:06:16,740 now let me reiterate that I am not here 136 00:06:21,469 --> 00:06:19,080 trying to attempt to minimize the case 137 00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:21,479 for flying saucers or to attempt to 138 00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:24,360 explain them away if I were I certainly 139 00:06:29,090 --> 00:06:27,180 wouldn't have taken a trouble to write a 140 00:06:31,070 --> 00:06:29,100 book about the subject or taking time 141 00:06:32,950 --> 00:06:31,080 off to come up here from Clarksburg West 142 00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:32,960 Virginia where I live it's quite a drive 143 00:06:38,809 --> 00:06:36,539 and I'm sure that a few people did not 144 00:06:41,210 --> 00:06:38,819 believe that there are such things as 145 00:06:43,550 --> 00:06:41,220 flying saucers you wouldn't have taken 146 00:06:47,870 --> 00:06:43,560 any trouble and you're a good time to 147 00:06:51,490 --> 00:06:47,880 come out here and listen to me tonight 148 00:06:55,129 --> 00:06:51,500 I think that at one time perhaps in 1952 149 00:06:57,469 --> 00:06:55,139 I was a great deal more skeptical as uh 150 00:07:00,950 --> 00:06:57,479 don I believe pointed out than I am 151 00:07:03,529 --> 00:07:00,960 today I find it rather hard remembering 152 00:07:06,950 --> 00:07:03,539 just what my attitude is because uh 153 00:07:11,809 --> 00:07:06,960 things change I think I was like the 154 00:07:14,870 --> 00:07:11,819 average person on the street who maybe 155 00:07:18,110 --> 00:07:14,880 just doesn't want to think about flying 156 00:07:21,050 --> 00:07:18,120 saucers or something so strange so 157 00:07:22,730 --> 00:07:21,060 unreal it upsets his everyday scheme of 158 00:07:25,249 --> 00:07:22,740 thing that he doesn't want to think 159 00:07:28,270 --> 00:07:25,259 about it after all it is a pretty hard 160 00:07:33,730 --> 00:07:28,280 job to think for some people 161 00:07:36,010 --> 00:07:33,740 well in 1952 I suppose I was like that 162 00:07:38,809 --> 00:07:36,020 I wasn't uh 163 00:07:42,969 --> 00:07:38,819 at least actively interested in flying 164 00:07:46,309 --> 00:07:42,979 sauces if I saw the reports I saw her 165 00:07:49,730 --> 00:07:46,319 this Captain metal was shot down by 166 00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:49,740 temperature inversion I read about that 167 00:07:57,010 --> 00:07:52,440 but I don't suppose I thought too much 168 00:07:59,749 --> 00:07:57,020 about it and I read for the temperature 169 00:08:03,529 --> 00:07:59,759 inversions took off from the ground 170 00:08:07,010 --> 00:08:03,539 leaving large burn places on the ground 171 00:08:11,029 --> 00:08:07,020 but anyway my skepticism was uh somewhat 172 00:08:13,070 --> 00:08:11,039 changed in September of 1952 and I want 173 00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:13,080 to go into that a little before I get 174 00:08:18,710 --> 00:08:16,139 into the main part of the book they knew 175 00:08:22,369 --> 00:08:18,720 too much about flying saucers 176 00:08:25,010 --> 00:08:22,379 uh now this was a very usual day when a 177 00:08:28,790 --> 00:08:25,020 very unusual thing happened that was in 178 00:08:32,510 --> 00:08:28,800 early September 1952 in a very unusual 179 00:08:35,089 --> 00:08:32,520 year 1952 as you remember a lot of 180 00:08:39,290 --> 00:08:35,099 strange things were happening that's 181 00:08:41,449 --> 00:08:39,300 when uh we had so many reports from all 182 00:08:44,810 --> 00:08:41,459 over the country and there were a number 183 00:08:47,530 --> 00:08:44,820 of a very strange sightings reported 184 00:08:51,650 --> 00:08:47,540 involving 185 00:08:54,170 --> 00:08:51,660 things which were seen inside what 186 00:08:57,769 --> 00:08:54,180 people termed spaceships 187 00:08:59,870 --> 00:08:57,779 but anyway let's picture yourself the 188 00:09:04,130 --> 00:08:59,880 living at that time maybe it's a 189 00:09:06,050 --> 00:09:04,140 housewife if possible as a a young boy 190 00:09:09,829 --> 00:09:06,060 or a girl anywhere from nine years old 191 00:09:12,769 --> 00:09:09,839 to 17 because this is in the p is the 192 00:09:15,530 --> 00:09:12,779 people which is involves and let's 193 00:09:17,750 --> 00:09:15,540 imagine that your your kids and you're 194 00:09:20,449 --> 00:09:17,760 playing baseball at a playground about 195 00:09:23,030 --> 00:09:20,459 desk the deficit Shadows are beginning 196 00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:23,040 to creep over everything and it's 197 00:09:27,769 --> 00:09:25,200 that's at that spooky time of evening 198 00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:27,779 when you're about ready to quit playing 199 00:09:32,810 --> 00:09:30,420 but you would like to play a while 200 00:09:36,009 --> 00:09:32,820 longer but suddenly you see something 201 00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:36,019 shoot over across the sky 202 00:09:41,810 --> 00:09:39,420 it probably is a shooting star because 203 00:09:44,389 --> 00:09:41,820 that's what it looked like to you but 204 00:09:47,150 --> 00:09:44,399 the peculiar thing about this and of 205 00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:47,160 course this actually happened was that 206 00:09:53,509 --> 00:09:50,399 it seems to land on a nearby Hilltop 207 00:09:57,230 --> 00:09:53,519 well a lot of shooting stars seem to 208 00:10:00,650 --> 00:09:57,240 come down really meteorites go on over 209 00:10:02,329 --> 00:10:00,660 but sometimes they seem to come down on 210 00:10:05,090 --> 00:10:02,339 the hill but really they're going over 211 00:10:07,730 --> 00:10:05,100 and you think perhaps this is what has 212 00:10:10,610 --> 00:10:07,740 happened however you look up on the hill 213 00:10:14,269 --> 00:10:10,620 and you see a kind of light there 214 00:10:16,910 --> 00:10:14,279 whatever it has been is there it didn't 215 00:10:19,250 --> 00:10:16,920 land or come to the earth and the 216 00:10:22,370 --> 00:10:19,260 strange thing about this light is that 217 00:10:24,590 --> 00:10:22,380 it's strangely pulsing getting dim to 218 00:10:27,110 --> 00:10:24,600 bride dim to Bright 219 00:10:29,150 --> 00:10:27,120 I don't know if the these people were 220 00:10:32,810 --> 00:10:29,160 greatly frightened or not I think that 221 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:32,820 it was just a normal uh curiosity now 222 00:10:38,530 --> 00:10:35,279 these people in Flatwoods West Virginia 223 00:10:41,810 --> 00:10:38,540 in 1952 that's what I'm talking about 224 00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:41,820 there were people who hadn't heard about 225 00:10:46,910 --> 00:10:44,959 flying saucers they were country people 226 00:10:50,269 --> 00:10:46,920 will the 227 00:10:52,970 --> 00:10:50,279 fewer advantages and than most of us 228 00:10:55,790 --> 00:10:52,980 have who live in the city their outlooks 229 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:55,800 are are not as broad they haven't heard 230 00:11:00,530 --> 00:10:57,839 been seen as many things that they 231 00:11:02,269 --> 00:11:00,540 hadn't had television yet to educate 232 00:11:06,009 --> 00:11:02,279 them on a lot of things they certainly 233 00:11:09,110 --> 00:11:06,019 hadn't read sounds so maybe that is why 234 00:11:13,190 --> 00:11:09,120 they weren't greatly frightened 235 00:11:14,690 --> 00:11:13,200 so they went up on top of the hill to 236 00:11:19,009 --> 00:11:14,700 look at this thing 237 00:11:21,290 --> 00:11:19,019 and uh as soon as they got there they 238 00:11:23,810 --> 00:11:21,300 were so frightened almost out of their 239 00:11:26,509 --> 00:11:23,820 wits that they immediately got out of 240 00:11:29,750 --> 00:11:26,519 there as fast as they could and I think 241 00:11:33,170 --> 00:11:29,760 the best way to report something about 242 00:11:37,610 --> 00:11:33,180 this is to read you the United press 243 00:11:39,829 --> 00:11:37,620 story on the thing which I have here put 244 00:11:42,290 --> 00:11:39,839 it in my book 245 00:11:43,009 --> 00:11:42,300 I remember reading this at breakfast one 246 00:11:46,250 --> 00:11:43,019 morning 247 00:11:49,190 --> 00:11:46,260 I live in Clarksburg which is about 75 248 00:11:52,250 --> 00:11:49,200 miles from this town of Flatwoods where 249 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:52,260 the famous Flatwoods Monster landed and 250 00:11:59,410 --> 00:11:54,839 I was reading this story police say 251 00:12:03,170 --> 00:11:59,420 Braxton monster product of mass Hysteria 252 00:12:06,110 --> 00:12:03,180 Sutton September 14th seven Braxton 253 00:12:09,949 --> 00:12:06,120 County residents vowed today that a 254 00:12:11,870 --> 00:12:09,959 Frankenstein monster with Bo drove them 255 00:12:14,930 --> 00:12:11,880 from a Hilltop near here 256 00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:14,940 but police figured the smelly boogie man 257 00:12:19,790 --> 00:12:17,760 was a product in Mass hysteria that 258 00:12:22,250 --> 00:12:19,800 sounds like a typical newspaper story 259 00:12:25,130 --> 00:12:22,260 doesn't it the thing described as 260 00:12:26,870 --> 00:12:25,140 witnesses as half man half dragon had 261 00:12:29,750 --> 00:12:26,880 not been reportedly seen since Friday 262 00:12:32,030 --> 00:12:29,760 night but residents of the area said a 263 00:12:33,889 --> 00:12:32,040 foul odor still clung to the hilltop 264 00:12:36,050 --> 00:12:33,899 yesterday 265 00:12:38,870 --> 00:12:36,060 all of this started when Mrs Kathleen 266 00:12:41,210 --> 00:12:38,880 May of Flatwood said she and six boys 267 00:12:44,569 --> 00:12:41,220 won a 17 year old national Guardsman 268 00:12:47,030 --> 00:12:44,579 climbed the hill to investigate her two 269 00:12:49,129 --> 00:12:47,040 small Sons report to their Flying Saucer 270 00:12:50,690 --> 00:12:49,139 landed there now that's incorrect 271 00:12:52,250 --> 00:12:50,700 there's a lot of newspaper stories is 272 00:12:55,069 --> 00:12:52,260 because they hadn't heard of flying 273 00:12:57,769 --> 00:12:55,079 sausage beforehand but she said that 274 00:13:00,530 --> 00:12:57,779 they found a fire-breathing monster 10 275 00:13:01,970 --> 00:13:00,540 feet tall with a bright green body and a 276 00:13:05,150 --> 00:13:01,980 blood-red face 277 00:13:08,509 --> 00:13:05,160 that waddled toward them quote with a 278 00:13:11,090 --> 00:13:08,519 bouncing floating motion and sent them 279 00:13:13,069 --> 00:13:11,100 scurrying down the hillside 280 00:13:15,829 --> 00:13:13,079 she said the monster exuded an 281 00:13:18,590 --> 00:13:15,839 overpowering odor like metal she called 282 00:13:20,030 --> 00:13:18,600 it but so sickened them they vomited for 283 00:13:22,670 --> 00:13:20,040 hours afterward 284 00:13:26,470 --> 00:13:22,680 they looked worse than Frankenstein said 285 00:13:28,850 --> 00:13:26,480 Mrs Mac it couldn't have been human 286 00:13:30,769 --> 00:13:28,860 well naturally I was pretty skeptical 287 00:13:33,470 --> 00:13:30,779 after I read this story but here was 288 00:13:36,290 --> 00:13:33,480 something that happened near where I had 289 00:13:39,250 --> 00:13:36,300 grown up in the country on a farm and it 290 00:13:42,050 --> 00:13:39,260 was quite convenient to go and see about 291 00:13:45,410 --> 00:13:42,060 so I decided to go there and find out 292 00:13:48,290 --> 00:13:45,420 just what gave her this here was a story 293 00:13:51,769 --> 00:13:48,300 that was obviously made up it couldn't 294 00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:51,779 have happened I thought and perhaps such 295 00:13:58,009 --> 00:13:56,220 a thing should be exposed and and made 296 00:14:01,129 --> 00:13:58,019 known for what it was 297 00:14:02,990 --> 00:14:01,139 so I departed for Flatwoods as soon as I 298 00:14:06,050 --> 00:14:03,000 could get away from the office which was 299 00:14:08,810 --> 00:14:06,060 a couple of days and uh arrived in 300 00:14:11,810 --> 00:14:08,820 Flatwoods rather late at night where I 301 00:14:14,690 --> 00:14:11,820 stopped at a friend's house who knew the 302 00:14:16,670 --> 00:14:14,700 people and uh this friend of mine was 303 00:14:19,550 --> 00:14:16,680 very skeptical he said that he didn't 304 00:14:23,150 --> 00:14:19,560 believe a word of it 305 00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:23,160 this morning I went to the local one of 306 00:14:29,269 --> 00:14:26,399 the local newspapers the Braxton Central 307 00:14:32,030 --> 00:14:29,279 and talked to Mr Holt Byrne who was also 308 00:14:34,190 --> 00:14:32,040 the mayor of the Town earlier he had 309 00:14:36,889 --> 00:14:34,200 released a news story that this thing 310 00:14:40,189 --> 00:14:36,899 had been a meteor which had crashed and 311 00:14:42,829 --> 00:14:40,199 the gases from it was uh what the people 312 00:14:45,650 --> 00:14:42,839 had seen and thought was a monster but 313 00:14:47,810 --> 00:14:45,660 when I arrived he wasn't so sure about 314 00:14:50,150 --> 00:14:47,820 it he had been talking to Ivan Sanderson 315 00:14:53,090 --> 00:14:50,160 whom some of you may know who had come 316 00:14:55,370 --> 00:14:53,100 there also to investigate the story and 317 00:14:58,790 --> 00:14:55,380 the mayor suggested seriously that I 318 00:15:01,610 --> 00:14:58,800 dried up to Flatwoods and talked to a 319 00:15:03,949 --> 00:15:01,620 Nunley boy the fort one of the boys who 320 00:15:06,470 --> 00:15:03,959 was 14 years old who had gone to the 321 00:15:10,310 --> 00:15:06,480 hilltop to see the thing he said that 322 00:15:12,290 --> 00:15:10,320 Mrs May the only adult who was along had 323 00:15:14,030 --> 00:15:12,300 gone to New York as soon as this had 324 00:15:16,030 --> 00:15:14,040 happened they had got her and some of 325 00:15:18,410 --> 00:15:16,040 the other Witnesses on the We the People 326 00:15:19,970 --> 00:15:18,420 television broadcast so I couldn't see 327 00:15:22,490 --> 00:15:19,980 them that day 328 00:15:25,310 --> 00:15:22,500 so I went out to Flatwoods which is a 329 00:15:27,829 --> 00:15:25,320 very short drive and located the Natalie 330 00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:27,839 boy whose father incidentally had seen a 331 00:15:33,769 --> 00:15:31,440 thing go over and I was very much 332 00:15:36,590 --> 00:15:33,779 surprised when this kid sat down and 333 00:15:38,930 --> 00:15:36,600 started telling me the story because uh 334 00:15:40,129 --> 00:15:38,940 he sounded as if he were telling the 335 00:15:43,550 --> 00:15:40,139 truth 336 00:15:46,129 --> 00:15:43,560 he said that as soon as they saw the 337 00:15:48,050 --> 00:15:46,139 object go overhead he and the other 338 00:15:50,329 --> 00:15:48,060 children in the playground decided to go 339 00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:50,339 up and see what it was and they ran up 340 00:15:54,889 --> 00:15:52,260 to a railroad which would take them to 341 00:15:58,210 --> 00:15:54,899 the location and stopped at Mrs May's 342 00:16:01,009 --> 00:15:58,220 house she was a housewife who was alone 343 00:16:03,650 --> 00:16:01,019 at first she didn't want to go with him 344 00:16:05,329 --> 00:16:03,660 she said that's just a story you're 345 00:16:08,569 --> 00:16:05,339 telling me that couldn't be but she 346 00:16:10,250 --> 00:16:08,579 looked out the door and and there she 347 00:16:13,490 --> 00:16:10,260 could see on top of the hill this 348 00:16:17,389 --> 00:16:13,500 strange light uh passing getting dim and 349 00:16:19,610 --> 00:16:17,399 bright as the others described it so she 350 00:16:21,230 --> 00:16:19,620 went along with them now there were 351 00:16:25,129 --> 00:16:21,240 seven people in the party and I'll read 352 00:16:29,150 --> 00:16:25,139 you the names Mrs May the only uh adult 353 00:16:31,310 --> 00:16:29,160 Gene lemon 17 Neil Nunley 14 Tommy hire 354 00:16:34,009 --> 00:16:31,320 10 Ronnie shaver 10 355 00:16:37,370 --> 00:16:34,019 and Mrs May's two children Eddie 13 356 00:16:40,069 --> 00:16:37,380 years old and and Fred 12 years old 357 00:16:43,730 --> 00:16:40,079 well they started up the hill it science 358 00:16:46,430 --> 00:16:43,740 quite a walk up there as uh some of you 359 00:16:49,009 --> 00:16:46,440 who have been there uh and investigated 360 00:16:51,889 --> 00:16:49,019 I'm sure some of you have I know my two 361 00:16:54,050 --> 00:16:51,899 friends here from Ohio have when they 362 00:16:56,449 --> 00:16:54,060 arrived near the top of the hill they 363 00:16:59,329 --> 00:16:56,459 said they could first smell a a funny 364 00:17:02,449 --> 00:16:59,339 odor however that didn't discourage him 365 00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:02,459 from going on personally I think I would 366 00:17:07,490 --> 00:17:05,160 have been getting out of there because I 367 00:17:10,370 --> 00:17:07,500 would much rather be a live coward and 368 00:17:12,350 --> 00:17:10,380 dead hero but anyway these people it 369 00:17:15,470 --> 00:17:12,360 just went on and 370 00:17:18,230 --> 00:17:15,480 at the very top of the hill as they came 371 00:17:22,610 --> 00:17:18,240 over They Came Upon everything at the 372 00:17:24,890 --> 00:17:22,620 same time and this is what I got out of 373 00:17:26,689 --> 00:17:24,900 them that they saw I'm not reporting 374 00:17:29,750 --> 00:17:26,699 everything I heard I remember putting 375 00:17:32,690 --> 00:17:29,760 only uh those things that they all saw 376 00:17:35,029 --> 00:17:32,700 and were sure of down over the side of 377 00:17:38,810 --> 00:17:35,039 the Hill they said they saw a huge 378 00:17:41,210 --> 00:17:38,820 glowing object which was according to 379 00:17:43,310 --> 00:17:41,220 some other massage of a house others 380 00:17:45,529 --> 00:17:43,320 weren't able to estimate the size others 381 00:17:48,370 --> 00:17:45,539 hadn't got a very good look but it was 382 00:17:51,529 --> 00:17:48,380 established it was a glowing 383 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,539 globe-like thing and evidently they were 384 00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,280 looking at that and all of this happened 385 00:17:57,890 --> 00:17:55,200 in a very few seconds I don't know how 386 00:17:59,770 --> 00:17:57,900 many but I'm sure very few and while 387 00:18:03,110 --> 00:17:59,780 they were looking at the globe 388 00:18:05,270 --> 00:18:03,120 I understand the lemon boy I thought he 389 00:18:08,090 --> 00:18:05,280 saw some eyes in the tree he thought it 390 00:18:11,150 --> 00:18:08,100 was a animal size of some kind and he 391 00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:11,160 showed his flight a flashlight on it and 392 00:18:16,150 --> 00:18:13,200 all of a sudden it seemed to light up 393 00:18:20,630 --> 00:18:16,160 and there was a huge creature they said 394 00:18:25,789 --> 00:18:20,640 about 10 defeat to 15 feet tall 395 00:18:28,370 --> 00:18:25,799 and a very strange looking object indeed 396 00:18:32,450 --> 00:18:28,380 as well as I could establish they didn't 397 00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:32,460 get a good look at its uh at its feet if 398 00:18:37,070 --> 00:18:34,440 it had feet or the lower part of his 399 00:18:40,070 --> 00:18:37,080 body they only saw and were 400 00:18:42,710 --> 00:18:40,080 concentrating upon the head but perhaps 401 00:18:46,430 --> 00:18:42,720 that was what was illuminated but they 402 00:18:49,310 --> 00:18:46,440 said that it had a round face which was 403 00:18:52,010 --> 00:18:49,320 blood red and they said that out of its 404 00:18:55,850 --> 00:18:52,020 eyes were coming beams of light 405 00:18:57,950 --> 00:18:55,860 now Mrs May who uh perhaps was the most 406 00:19:00,049 --> 00:18:57,960 excitable of them was sure that these 407 00:19:03,110 --> 00:19:00,059 themes of light was coming right at her 408 00:19:07,130 --> 00:19:03,120 and they were shining on her but the the 409 00:19:08,930 --> 00:19:07,140 children who seemed to be more objective 410 00:19:11,090 --> 00:19:08,940 about it said that they were coming out 411 00:19:13,909 --> 00:19:11,100 over their heads that they were parallel 412 00:19:16,490 --> 00:19:13,919 to the base of whatever this thing was 413 00:19:20,390 --> 00:19:16,500 these were greenish orange rays of light 414 00:19:24,950 --> 00:19:20,400 at the Apex of its head was a kind of 415 00:19:27,650 --> 00:19:24,960 hood like Affair which was black one boy 416 00:19:30,470 --> 00:19:27,660 told me that it looked like a dust cap 417 00:19:33,490 --> 00:19:30,480 as we would imagine a child sitting in 418 00:19:35,890 --> 00:19:33,500 school and olden times with this conical 419 00:19:37,850 --> 00:19:35,900 hat on his head 420 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:37,860 but anyway 421 00:19:43,070 --> 00:19:40,080 they didn't stay around long enough to 422 00:19:45,529 --> 00:19:43,080 investigate which I don't blame them for 423 00:19:48,230 --> 00:19:45,539 doing and incidentally all the time they 424 00:19:51,590 --> 00:19:48,240 were smelling is a very peculiar odor 425 00:19:53,810 --> 00:19:51,600 which uh they couldn't describe some 426 00:19:55,370 --> 00:19:53,820 said well it smelled like rotten eggs at 427 00:19:57,770 --> 00:19:55,380 first then you would question and they 428 00:20:00,409 --> 00:19:57,780 said smelled like burning metal but it 429 00:20:03,169 --> 00:20:00,419 ended up that uh another none of them 430 00:20:04,430 --> 00:20:03,179 knew exactly what this odor was like it 431 00:20:06,470 --> 00:20:04,440 was something that they hadn't 432 00:20:10,490 --> 00:20:06,480 encountered before 433 00:20:13,430 --> 00:20:10,500 so uh immediately they ran off the hill 434 00:20:16,490 --> 00:20:13,440 as fast as they could and I understand 435 00:20:19,370 --> 00:20:16,500 that several of them were ill they were 436 00:20:20,810 --> 00:20:19,380 vomiting and it so happened that a 437 00:20:22,669 --> 00:20:20,820 funeral director came by with his 438 00:20:24,890 --> 00:20:22,679 ambulance about that time and he gave 439 00:20:26,810 --> 00:20:24,900 some of them uh first aid whatever that 440 00:20:28,730 --> 00:20:26,820 would involve maybe smelling salts or 441 00:20:32,390 --> 00:20:28,740 something I don't know he never would 442 00:20:34,549 --> 00:20:32,400 talk about it but anyway they were in a 443 00:20:37,130 --> 00:20:34,559 bunch of pretty scared people 444 00:20:39,710 --> 00:20:37,140 after saying all this they called the 445 00:20:42,650 --> 00:20:39,720 sheriff of the county whom I've also 446 00:20:44,029 --> 00:20:42,660 interviewed about but he at the time was 447 00:20:46,669 --> 00:20:44,039 in another part of the county 448 00:20:48,909 --> 00:20:46,679 investigating another similar report of 449 00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:48,919 a an object crashing on a hillside 450 00:20:55,010 --> 00:20:51,720 however nothing was ever found out about 451 00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:55,020 that uh it seemed as if on this 452 00:20:59,330 --> 00:20:56,480 particular evening 453 00:21:02,090 --> 00:20:59,340 objects were seen going over in the 454 00:21:04,250 --> 00:21:02,100 Skies over several States I haven't 455 00:21:07,370 --> 00:21:04,260 Sanderson said he thought he could trace 456 00:21:10,130 --> 00:21:07,380 a one object over Huntington Charleston 457 00:21:12,950 --> 00:21:10,140 some of the other cities into Flatwoods 458 00:21:15,710 --> 00:21:12,960 but at any rate whatever this was was 459 00:21:18,830 --> 00:21:15,720 connect connected with the aerial 460 00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:18,840 phenomena which was rather widespread at 461 00:21:24,950 --> 00:21:22,320 that time the first Witnesses on the 462 00:21:27,169 --> 00:21:24,960 scene and this is where this story does 463 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:27,179 get stranger where a couple of boys 464 00:21:33,110 --> 00:21:30,480 about 18 or 20 who went up on the hill I 465 00:21:35,330 --> 00:21:33,120 think about an half hour after that and 466 00:21:36,830 --> 00:21:35,340 they found nothing at all there of 467 00:21:38,330 --> 00:21:36,840 course it was dark they couldn't sit 468 00:21:40,850 --> 00:21:38,340 anything but certainly there wasn't any 469 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,860 monster about a half there or an hour 470 00:21:44,870 --> 00:21:42,960 later the sheriff arrived after coming 471 00:21:47,770 --> 00:21:44,880 from Frametown investigating the other 472 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:47,780 report he didn't find anything either 473 00:21:54,110 --> 00:21:50,880 and no odor either immediately after 474 00:21:56,510 --> 00:21:54,120 this occurrence so whatever it was if it 475 00:21:59,029 --> 00:21:56,520 were real and was there it must have 476 00:22:02,510 --> 00:21:59,039 gone away very very quickly 477 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,520 the next morning a newspaper editor who 478 00:22:06,649 --> 00:22:04,559 edited the Braxton Democrat the other 479 00:22:08,750 --> 00:22:06,659 little weekly newspapers he's come out 480 00:22:11,630 --> 00:22:08,760 every week and not the dailies as we're 481 00:22:14,169 --> 00:22:11,640 accustomed to went up on me you know 482 00:22:17,810 --> 00:22:14,179 very early in the morning to investigate 483 00:22:19,610 --> 00:22:17,820 he could see nothing either but but 484 00:22:23,630 --> 00:22:19,620 something did strike him after looking 485 00:22:27,230 --> 00:22:23,640 around in the grass where the monster is 486 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:27,240 reported to have been he saw what he 487 00:22:34,789 --> 00:22:30,240 thought were skid marks in the grass as 488 00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:34,799 if someone had been on skis and had slid 489 00:22:38,510 --> 00:22:36,720 down the hill on them whatever it was 490 00:22:40,789 --> 00:22:38,520 and didn't light and wait because it 491 00:22:43,310 --> 00:22:40,799 hadn't hadn't indented itself into the 492 00:22:47,270 --> 00:22:43,320 soil but it seemed to be going down 493 00:22:49,549 --> 00:22:47,280 toward the area where the globular shape 494 00:22:53,149 --> 00:22:49,559 was seen and where it was seen there was 495 00:22:56,450 --> 00:22:53,159 a large area of grass smashed down 496 00:22:58,750 --> 00:22:56,460 so it was established that whatever had 497 00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:58,760 been there had left some trace of itself 498 00:23:03,230 --> 00:23:01,200 he couldn't smell anything and was 499 00:23:05,930 --> 00:23:03,240 puzzled over the account of the odor he 500 00:23:08,570 --> 00:23:05,940 thought it still should be around but he 501 00:23:12,970 --> 00:23:08,580 uh bent to the ground and snuffed there 502 00:23:15,230 --> 00:23:12,980 he said that um that he knew that gas uh 503 00:23:16,610 --> 00:23:15,240 well when it went away it sort of 504 00:23:18,830 --> 00:23:16,620 settled to the ground and you could 505 00:23:21,289 --> 00:23:18,840 detect it there long after it had gone 506 00:23:25,130 --> 00:23:21,299 and he said it's sure enough he could 507 00:23:28,730 --> 00:23:25,140 detect this rather nauseous and uh and 508 00:23:32,930 --> 00:23:28,740 almost suffocating odor near the ground 509 00:23:37,870 --> 00:23:32,940 so that um about the leaves the thing 510 00:23:42,110 --> 00:23:37,880 where it was a very uh puzzling account 511 00:23:45,350 --> 00:23:42,120 but one which I came away from uh very 512 00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:45,360 much convinced had happened I wasn't 513 00:23:52,250 --> 00:23:49,200 sure it had been exactly as the kids had 514 00:23:56,029 --> 00:23:52,260 reported it after all they probably were 515 00:23:58,190 --> 00:23:56,039 and very surely were scared but 516 00:23:59,870 --> 00:23:58,200 something had been there I was convinced 517 00:24:02,630 --> 00:23:59,880 that these people were telling the truth 518 00:24:04,549 --> 00:24:02,640 I think that after you had talked to a 519 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:04,559 number of people and and try to catch 520 00:24:12,710 --> 00:24:08,400 them up as as I surely was doing and be 521 00:24:17,210 --> 00:24:12,720 unable to tear down new stories that you 522 00:24:20,210 --> 00:24:17,220 also would know if someone was handing 523 00:24:23,810 --> 00:24:20,220 you a line or or telling you some truth 524 00:24:25,669 --> 00:24:23,820 anyway that was a story that blackwood's 525 00:24:29,029 --> 00:24:25,679 monster so I drove drove back to 526 00:24:31,970 --> 00:24:29,039 Clarksburg uh pondering this well I said 527 00:24:34,909 --> 00:24:31,980 if if I can admit that that was real 528 00:24:39,169 --> 00:24:34,919 and that it did happen some of these 529 00:24:42,049 --> 00:24:39,179 other stories uh uh may be true also and 530 00:24:44,630 --> 00:24:42,059 may bear looking into I suppose I had 531 00:24:47,270 --> 00:24:44,640 caught the bug as it's been called and 532 00:24:49,070 --> 00:24:47,280 and right there I became intensely 533 00:24:51,710 --> 00:24:49,080 interested in finding out what the 534 00:24:54,289 --> 00:24:51,720 saucers were I thought that if I gave 535 00:24:56,930 --> 00:24:54,299 four or five weeks to it I could solve 536 00:24:59,270 --> 00:24:56,940 the complete mystery and uh and get rid 537 00:25:01,430 --> 00:24:59,280 of it as some people do when they get 538 00:25:04,310 --> 00:25:01,440 into this thing but of course I'm still 539 00:25:07,070 --> 00:25:04,320 at it and perhaps maybe farther from the 540 00:25:08,750 --> 00:25:07,080 truth than I was when I started but 541 00:25:11,510 --> 00:25:08,760 anyway I was thinking at that time 542 00:25:16,610 --> 00:25:11,520 having heard so many other reports that 543 00:25:19,610 --> 00:25:16,620 if someone could form a club or 544 00:25:22,610 --> 00:25:19,620 organization to gather all of this 545 00:25:25,130 --> 00:25:22,620 information together and analyze it that 546 00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:25,140 some definite conclusions might be 547 00:25:28,909 --> 00:25:26,340 reached 548 00:25:32,029 --> 00:25:28,919 well just after that I heard about it 549 00:25:35,510 --> 00:25:32,039 just such a man who had done that one of 550 00:25:38,450 --> 00:25:35,520 the very first who organized a flying 551 00:25:42,529 --> 00:25:38,460 saucer organization and that man was 552 00:25:44,630 --> 00:25:42,539 Albert K Bender the the fella over whom 553 00:25:47,810 --> 00:25:44,640 there has been so much controversy of 554 00:25:51,049 --> 00:25:47,820 light he had a club which he called the 555 00:25:53,210 --> 00:25:51,059 international Flying Saucer Bureau well 556 00:25:56,510 --> 00:25:53,220 I thought that surely was just a high 557 00:25:58,730 --> 00:25:56,520 sounding name but when I found out about 558 00:26:01,669 --> 00:25:58,740 it I found surely enough the fella had a 559 00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:01,679 chapter in England and members in 560 00:26:05,990 --> 00:26:04,320 Australia and even South Africa I 561 00:26:08,750 --> 00:26:06,000 believe in fact the fellow was all over 562 00:26:11,330 --> 00:26:08,760 the world so here was something I wanted 563 00:26:13,090 --> 00:26:11,340 to find out about so I got in touch with 564 00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:13,100 bender and he was immediately 565 00:26:18,890 --> 00:26:16,080 enthusiastic about my joining the 566 00:26:21,529 --> 00:26:18,900 organization I was appointed the state 567 00:26:24,529 --> 00:26:21,539 representative for West Virginia my job 568 00:26:27,830 --> 00:26:24,539 was to collect money from memberships 569 00:26:31,549 --> 00:26:27,840 and send in all the a accounts from my 570 00:26:34,610 --> 00:26:31,559 state which I had begun began by sending 571 00:26:36,289 --> 00:26:34,620 in the report on the Flatwoods Monster 572 00:26:38,750 --> 00:26:36,299 eventually 573 00:26:42,549 --> 00:26:38,760 we got into the thing a little further 574 00:26:47,029 --> 00:26:42,559 and we decided that if we had a special 575 00:26:49,690 --> 00:26:47,039 Bureau within the larger one or a 576 00:26:52,490 --> 00:26:49,700 department which could very carefully 577 00:26:56,750 --> 00:26:52,500 investigate certain selected reports 578 00:26:59,690 --> 00:26:56,760 that we might decide whether some of 579 00:27:02,690 --> 00:26:59,700 these better reports were the truth or 580 00:27:06,409 --> 00:27:02,700 whatever they might be so a Department 581 00:27:09,049 --> 00:27:06,419 of investigation was set up I was given 582 00:27:12,590 --> 00:27:09,059 the rather High sounding uh title of 583 00:27:14,510 --> 00:27:12,600 Chief investigator and of course I was 584 00:27:17,090 --> 00:27:14,520 very proud of my membership cards but 585 00:27:19,310 --> 00:27:17,100 really we were very serious about it and 586 00:27:22,909 --> 00:27:19,320 others appointed where Mr August C 587 00:27:25,250 --> 00:27:22,919 Roberts who was a person who was an 588 00:27:27,470 --> 00:27:25,260 expert in photography a lot of flying 589 00:27:29,930 --> 00:27:27,480 saucer photos were cropping up we wanted 590 00:27:32,630 --> 00:27:29,940 to find out if they were real or or 591 00:27:37,130 --> 00:27:32,640 maybe tricked up and Mr Dominic C 592 00:27:39,529 --> 00:27:37,140 Lucchesi was in the thing and charge of 593 00:27:40,549 --> 00:27:39,539 the Aeronautics he knew something about 594 00:27:44,870 --> 00:27:40,559 that 595 00:27:48,470 --> 00:27:44,880 a reverend SL Daw of Washington DC and a 596 00:27:50,750 --> 00:27:48,480 Mr Lonzo Dove of Broadway Virginia an 597 00:27:54,049 --> 00:27:50,760 amateur astronomer here were people 598 00:27:57,169 --> 00:27:54,059 which I had working with me which were 599 00:27:59,210 --> 00:27:57,179 pretty good in these certain fields that 600 00:28:03,649 --> 00:27:59,220 they knew something about 601 00:28:06,710 --> 00:28:03,659 so we ran several reports through the 602 00:28:09,710 --> 00:28:06,720 special Department in fact a couple of 603 00:28:11,630 --> 00:28:09,720 photographs which we decided weren't 604 00:28:16,909 --> 00:28:11,640 flying sauces at all but just 605 00:28:20,590 --> 00:28:16,919 Reflections off the Sun at that time but 606 00:28:23,510 --> 00:28:20,600 anyway we all became very close friends 607 00:28:26,870 --> 00:28:23,520 all of us in this little Department 608 00:28:30,950 --> 00:28:26,880 within the bureau and the specially uh 609 00:28:32,870 --> 00:28:30,960 bender and I became very friendly mainly 610 00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:32,880 through the mail and I got to know a lot 611 00:28:37,850 --> 00:28:35,039 about these other people who were 612 00:28:40,669 --> 00:28:37,860 working with me that was why it was so 613 00:28:44,870 --> 00:28:40,679 surprising when I received a tape 614 00:28:48,890 --> 00:28:44,880 recording one day which rather set me 615 00:28:51,890 --> 00:28:48,900 back again it was a quaint mystifying 616 00:28:54,590 --> 00:28:51,900 thing this was a tape recording from 617 00:28:56,690 --> 00:28:54,600 Dominic C muchesi the aeronautical 618 00:28:59,149 --> 00:28:56,700 consultant for the Department of 619 00:29:02,210 --> 00:28:59,159 investigation and I would like to read 620 00:29:04,370 --> 00:29:02,220 read out the book here just a few of the 621 00:29:07,130 --> 00:29:04,380 words that he had on the recording they 622 00:29:08,750 --> 00:29:07,140 more or less whole thing is in the book 623 00:29:12,350 --> 00:29:08,760 he says 624 00:29:15,409 --> 00:29:12,360 but actually gray some very interesting 625 00:29:17,630 --> 00:29:15,419 things have happened and the only way I 626 00:29:19,430 --> 00:29:17,640 can describe these to you is by using 627 00:29:21,830 --> 00:29:19,440 tape 628 00:29:23,870 --> 00:29:21,840 he's talking about interesting things in 629 00:29:26,269 --> 00:29:23,880 the international Flying Saucer Bureau 630 00:29:27,950 --> 00:29:26,279 so when I heard this I'd rather sat up 631 00:29:31,370 --> 00:29:27,960 here with something a little different I 632 00:29:33,470 --> 00:29:31,380 thought then Don continues as far as my 633 00:29:36,529 --> 00:29:33,480 being investigated by someone is 634 00:29:38,889 --> 00:29:36,539 concerned no one that I know of has 635 00:29:41,750 --> 00:29:38,899 interrogated Augie Roberts or myself 636 00:29:44,690 --> 00:29:41,760 unless it might have been someone with 637 00:29:46,190 --> 00:29:44,700 whom we are well acquainted and whom we 638 00:29:48,889 --> 00:29:46,200 might not have realized was an 639 00:29:52,070 --> 00:29:48,899 investigator of one type or another 640 00:29:53,750 --> 00:29:52,080 well in the course of their conversation 641 00:29:55,669 --> 00:29:53,760 they were talking to him by telephone 642 00:29:58,190 --> 00:29:55,679 they were planning to go to Bridgeport 643 00:30:01,130 --> 00:29:58,200 to see him and the car developed trouble 644 00:30:03,169 --> 00:30:01,140 so Augie Roberts uh called bender and 645 00:30:07,430 --> 00:30:03,179 asked him if there was anything new and 646 00:30:09,649 --> 00:30:07,440 I and the flying saucers and I'll return 647 00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:09,659 to Dominic's tape again 648 00:30:14,330 --> 00:30:12,120 this is all very hard to describe about 649 00:30:16,430 --> 00:30:14,340 how that is for actually the telephone 650 00:30:19,490 --> 00:30:16,440 conversation was not between hell and 651 00:30:21,830 --> 00:30:19,500 myself but between him and Augie 652 00:30:24,649 --> 00:30:21,840 actually the phone call lasted for about 653 00:30:27,529 --> 00:30:24,659 20 or 25 minutes to make a long story 654 00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:27,539 short gray I can't give it to you word 655 00:30:32,990 --> 00:30:30,720 for word but what had happened was 656 00:30:36,049 --> 00:30:33,000 something like this 657 00:30:38,990 --> 00:30:36,059 Al Bender told Augie that space review 658 00:30:42,230 --> 00:30:39,000 that was a little publication which they 659 00:30:44,990 --> 00:30:42,240 got out that space review would come out 660 00:30:47,269 --> 00:30:45,000 in October but whether it would come out 661 00:30:50,330 --> 00:30:47,279 after that was something else 662 00:30:53,750 --> 00:30:50,340 it seems something strange has occurred 663 00:30:56,269 --> 00:30:53,760 in ifsb that was the initials of the 664 00:30:58,130 --> 00:30:56,279 international flying saucet Bureau well 665 00:31:00,010 --> 00:30:58,140 Augie was quite persistent and kept 666 00:31:03,110 --> 00:31:00,020 pushing Al for more information 667 00:31:06,889 --> 00:31:03,120 finally Al said bluntly 668 00:31:10,690 --> 00:31:06,899 I know the secret of the discs 669 00:31:15,110 --> 00:31:10,700 he added that three men had visited him 670 00:31:18,950 --> 00:31:15,120 and in effect shut him up completely as 671 00:31:22,490 --> 00:31:18,960 far as saucer investigation is concerned 672 00:31:25,909 --> 00:31:22,500 now the way uh Dominic gathered at Al 673 00:31:30,049 --> 00:31:25,919 had run across something in the course 674 00:31:32,149 --> 00:31:30,059 of his investigations and this sort of 675 00:31:35,149 --> 00:31:32,159 rang a bell in his mind he thought he 676 00:31:38,630 --> 00:31:35,159 had it he thought he had the answer to 677 00:31:41,389 --> 00:31:38,640 the Flying Saucer riddle he told us 678 00:31:43,870 --> 00:31:41,399 later that he had names and places 679 00:31:47,149 --> 00:31:43,880 whatever that could mean to back it up 680 00:31:50,149 --> 00:31:47,159 but he made one mistake he took this 681 00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:50,159 Theory or whatever it was and submitted 682 00:31:55,450 --> 00:31:52,320 it to someone he said he wouldn't tell 683 00:31:58,610 --> 00:31:55,460 us whom perhaps the magazine I thought 684 00:32:02,269 --> 00:31:58,620 maybe the government maybe to a friend 685 00:32:05,149 --> 00:32:02,279 but anyway when the three men came to 686 00:32:07,789 --> 00:32:05,159 see him he said that they had that very 687 00:32:11,690 --> 00:32:07,799 same piece of paper in their hands 688 00:32:14,330 --> 00:32:11,700 and well as as we could figure it out 689 00:32:17,389 --> 00:32:14,340 from what we could get out of Bender who 690 00:32:19,610 --> 00:32:17,399 seemed to be terrified by this thing he 691 00:32:22,010 --> 00:32:19,620 said that that after the three men were 692 00:32:24,409 --> 00:32:22,020 there he was ill and he couldn't eat for 693 00:32:27,590 --> 00:32:24,419 three days and he was sure he had turned 694 00:32:31,370 --> 00:32:27,600 white when he talked to them and I I 695 00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:31,380 began to think well what could scare a 696 00:32:37,070 --> 00:32:34,500 fell like that he was a grown man if if 697 00:32:39,110 --> 00:32:37,080 three uh men would walk in to see me 698 00:32:41,149 --> 00:32:39,120 certainly I would be nervous but I don't 699 00:32:42,950 --> 00:32:41,159 see what they could tell me which would 700 00:32:47,630 --> 00:32:42,960 make me so frightened 701 00:32:51,110 --> 00:32:47,640 sir we were determined to 702 00:32:53,990 --> 00:32:51,120 to find out more about this after all 703 00:32:58,010 --> 00:32:54,000 Bender hadn't said who the Three Men In 704 00:33:00,110 --> 00:32:58,020 Black really were at that time it 705 00:33:04,430 --> 00:33:00,120 sounded like the government to us 706 00:33:07,190 --> 00:33:04,440 because we imagined that perhaps the 707 00:33:09,169 --> 00:33:07,200 government was interested in keeping all 708 00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:09,179 of this a secret from the people perhaps 709 00:33:13,970 --> 00:33:12,000 they were afraid that if the people got 710 00:33:16,130 --> 00:33:13,980 to know too much about the flying 711 00:33:17,409 --> 00:33:16,140 saucers they would be frightened it 712 00:33:20,330 --> 00:33:17,419 would be something 713 00:33:22,850 --> 00:33:20,340 that happened similar to the Orson 714 00:33:27,230 --> 00:33:22,860 Welles broadcast which you've heard 715 00:33:28,730 --> 00:33:27,240 about but anyway we were more confused 716 00:33:32,330 --> 00:33:28,740 as ever 717 00:33:34,970 --> 00:33:32,340 and I had a very uh strange reaction 718 00:33:37,870 --> 00:33:34,980 after hearing this here was an 719 00:33:42,110 --> 00:33:37,880 investigator or something like myself 720 00:33:44,810 --> 00:33:42,120 who had his home entered who was visited 721 00:33:48,350 --> 00:33:44,820 by three people who uh who didn't treat 722 00:33:51,889 --> 00:33:48,360 him very kindly evidently and who was 723 00:33:54,110 --> 00:33:51,899 just badly shaken and it didn't seem he 724 00:33:57,649 --> 00:33:54,120 was permitted to go ahead and talk 725 00:33:59,570 --> 00:33:57,659 further about flying saucers in fact I 726 00:34:03,409 --> 00:33:59,580 was a little scared myself if someone 727 00:34:05,389 --> 00:34:03,419 could shut up Mr Bender here I was I was 728 00:34:07,250 --> 00:34:05,399 putting out a publication called the 729 00:34:10,669 --> 00:34:07,260 Cesarean it was going all over the world 730 00:34:11,869 --> 00:34:10,679 and maybe someone would interfere with 731 00:34:22,790 --> 00:34:11,879 me 732 00:34:25,849 --> 00:34:22,800 interested to such a point that they 733 00:34:28,490 --> 00:34:25,859 would obviously abridge freedoms and 734 00:34:30,349 --> 00:34:28,500 coming and telling someone not to talk 735 00:34:34,010 --> 00:34:30,359 about a certain subject 736 00:34:37,310 --> 00:34:34,020 anyway we decided to try to get to the 737 00:34:41,750 --> 00:34:37,320 bottom of the thing so we decided to go 738 00:34:45,829 --> 00:34:41,760 to Bridgeport Connecticut and try to see 739 00:34:47,570 --> 00:34:45,839 Bender personally and question him a 740 00:34:50,210 --> 00:34:47,580 great lack and see if we could get 741 00:34:51,649 --> 00:34:50,220 anything out of them well let's see a 742 00:34:53,869 --> 00:34:51,659 little interview I'm going to read here 743 00:34:55,430 --> 00:34:53,879 in a moment discloses we didn't learn a 744 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,440 whole lot although we did get some 745 00:34:59,510 --> 00:34:57,119 interesting responses 746 00:35:02,150 --> 00:34:59,520 but immediately after I'd received the 747 00:35:05,690 --> 00:35:02,160 tape I called up Bender he answered the 748 00:35:08,089 --> 00:35:05,700 phone but he sounded very strange much 749 00:35:10,310 --> 00:35:08,099 unlike his usual self 750 00:35:12,190 --> 00:35:10,320 and of course I got around to the 751 00:35:14,630 --> 00:35:12,200 subject of flying saucers immediately 752 00:35:18,230 --> 00:35:14,640 and he said 753 00:35:21,230 --> 00:35:18,240 the saucers do not interest me anymore I 754 00:35:24,170 --> 00:35:21,240 believe that was his exact words maybe 755 00:35:26,810 --> 00:35:24,180 he said doubt he in any repeated I've 756 00:35:28,790 --> 00:35:26,820 lost all interest in them I wondered why 757 00:35:31,730 --> 00:35:28,800 a man would lose interest so quickly 758 00:35:35,630 --> 00:35:31,740 when he had once been so interested I 759 00:35:38,329 --> 00:35:35,640 asked him I said Al is this because it 760 00:35:40,490 --> 00:35:38,339 uh the reason you aren't interested is 761 00:35:45,349 --> 00:35:40,500 that because you found out that they're 762 00:35:48,050 --> 00:35:45,359 a government invention maybe or or is 763 00:35:50,750 --> 00:35:48,060 the information you have so uh 764 00:35:52,790 --> 00:35:50,760 terrifying that it's rather frightening 765 00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:52,800 and uh and bad for you to think about 766 00:35:57,290 --> 00:35:55,440 and he said well it was a letter that's 767 00:36:01,010 --> 00:35:57,300 all he would say 768 00:36:02,690 --> 00:36:01,020 we went to Bridgeport and I walked in on 769 00:36:06,890 --> 00:36:02,700 our good friend who treated us very 770 00:36:09,770 --> 00:36:06,900 nicely but would keep telling us that he 771 00:36:12,650 --> 00:36:09,780 wasn't permitted to tell us much about 772 00:36:14,690 --> 00:36:12,660 what had happened but anyway we got in a 773 00:36:16,849 --> 00:36:14,700 lot of questions and I'm going to read a 774 00:36:19,250 --> 00:36:16,859 lot of these not a lot of them but just 775 00:36:21,349 --> 00:36:19,260 a few of these questions and answers 776 00:36:24,530 --> 00:36:21,359 which took place there 777 00:36:27,170 --> 00:36:24,540 now the first few that I read he'll say 778 00:36:29,510 --> 00:36:27,180 I can't answer that to all of them so uh 779 00:36:32,870 --> 00:36:29,520 we'll get over that quickly 780 00:36:38,150 --> 00:36:35,030 I can't answer that 781 00:36:41,150 --> 00:36:38,160 question who were the men I can't answer 782 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:41,160 that were they from the government 783 00:36:46,250 --> 00:36:43,440 I can't answer that 784 00:36:48,349 --> 00:36:46,260 this saucer comes from space 785 00:36:52,310 --> 00:36:48,359 I can't answer that 786 00:36:54,170 --> 00:36:52,320 and a lot more responses similar can you 787 00:36:57,050 --> 00:36:54,180 tell me where you found your source of 788 00:36:59,630 --> 00:36:57,060 information answer I was turning a 789 00:37:01,790 --> 00:36:59,640 theory over and over in my mind when I 790 00:37:05,510 --> 00:37:01,800 got some actual names and places to back 791 00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:05,520 it up I submitted it to someone then the 792 00:37:10,550 --> 00:37:07,260 men came 793 00:37:12,890 --> 00:37:10,560 who was that someone you mentioned 794 00:37:15,349 --> 00:37:12,900 I can't answer that 795 00:37:16,609 --> 00:37:15,359 is the flying saucers going to be a help 796 00:37:20,210 --> 00:37:16,619 to the world 797 00:37:23,230 --> 00:37:20,220 it's going to be both good and bad and 798 00:37:26,150 --> 00:37:23,240 so on answer is like that that you can't 799 00:37:28,550 --> 00:37:26,160 exactly put together into any meaning 800 00:37:30,890 --> 00:37:28,560 and all they serve to do is to Intrigue 801 00:37:34,609 --> 00:37:30,900 you further and increase in your own 802 00:37:37,790 --> 00:37:34,619 mind and mystery of what he knew we were 803 00:37:40,970 --> 00:37:37,800 desperately trying to find out what it 804 00:37:44,089 --> 00:37:40,980 was that Bender had run across perhaps 805 00:37:46,490 --> 00:37:44,099 through accident which had brought this 806 00:37:49,970 --> 00:37:46,500 trouble down upon him on ever kind of 807 00:37:52,370 --> 00:37:49,980 trouble it was we tried to figure 808 00:37:54,170 --> 00:37:52,380 who the three men were 809 00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:54,180 while the first thought was the 810 00:37:59,089 --> 00:37:56,280 government but first of all we thought 811 00:38:01,790 --> 00:37:59,099 government men don't go around dressed 812 00:38:05,810 --> 00:38:01,800 conspicuously or trying to look like 813 00:38:08,870 --> 00:38:05,820 Cloak and Dagger operators which these 814 00:38:14,030 --> 00:38:08,880 three men looked like they had on all 815 00:38:15,950 --> 00:38:14,040 dark clothing and neither do uh people 816 00:38:18,829 --> 00:38:15,960 at least from the FBI and some of the 817 00:38:21,470 --> 00:38:18,839 other investigative organizations needed 818 00:38:23,690 --> 00:38:21,480 today go around threatening people in 819 00:38:26,450 --> 00:38:23,700 fact you do the talking they just ask 820 00:38:30,730 --> 00:38:26,460 questions they don't tell you anything 821 00:38:33,770 --> 00:38:30,740 and it it was a great doubt in our mind 822 00:38:35,210 --> 00:38:33,780 that the government men had visited 823 00:38:37,910 --> 00:38:35,220 Albert Bender 824 00:38:40,970 --> 00:38:37,920 well if not government man 825 00:38:43,730 --> 00:38:40,980 who could it possibly be well we thought 826 00:38:46,370 --> 00:38:43,740 of everything maybe it could be space 827 00:38:48,950 --> 00:38:46,380 fan a lot of people thought that there 828 00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:48,960 were such things and it certainly hadn't 829 00:38:55,550 --> 00:38:51,839 been proven that there couldn't be uh 830 00:39:00,109 --> 00:38:55,560 it certainly a would frighten me if 831 00:39:02,210 --> 00:39:00,119 someone would walk into my room and I 832 00:39:05,930 --> 00:39:02,220 would say to them let me see your 833 00:39:08,510 --> 00:39:05,940 credentials and uh this person say it 834 00:39:10,130 --> 00:39:08,520 would say here are my credentials and 835 00:39:13,190 --> 00:39:10,140 instead of showing me a card you would 836 00:39:16,130 --> 00:39:13,200 just simply disappear walk through a 837 00:39:18,170 --> 00:39:16,140 wall or something dematerialize that 838 00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:18,180 would certainly Shake name of such a 839 00:39:25,190 --> 00:39:21,960 person would tell me to do something I 840 00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:25,200 would think a long time before I didn't 841 00:39:29,089 --> 00:39:26,400 do it 842 00:39:31,730 --> 00:39:29,099 but I'm not suggesting that it was a 843 00:39:33,530 --> 00:39:31,740 space man who visited Al Bender or 844 00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:33,540 anyone in particular it is a great 845 00:39:38,870 --> 00:39:36,720 mystery to me and that is one reason why 846 00:39:43,130 --> 00:39:38,880 I wrote a book about the matter 847 00:39:45,170 --> 00:39:43,140 I thought that if I should get all of 848 00:39:47,150 --> 00:39:45,180 the story and some other very 849 00:39:50,329 --> 00:39:47,160 interesting ones together which were 850 00:39:53,750 --> 00:39:50,339 cropping up and published this 851 00:39:55,730 --> 00:39:53,760 information that there were probably a 852 00:39:57,650 --> 00:39:55,740 lot of other people with similar 853 00:40:00,470 --> 00:39:57,660 experiences who would come forth and 854 00:40:04,130 --> 00:40:00,480 tell their own stories I also thought 855 00:40:06,410 --> 00:40:04,140 that some people might read the book who 856 00:40:09,109 --> 00:40:06,420 certainly were more intelligent than I 857 00:40:11,210 --> 00:40:09,119 was who might figure out something that 858 00:40:15,710 --> 00:40:11,220 would ring a bell somewhere and bring 859 00:40:17,569 --> 00:40:15,720 this mystery to a conclusion just as the 860 00:40:20,150 --> 00:40:17,579 two questions first of all why didn't 861 00:40:23,210 --> 00:40:20,160 Bender know that seemed to be the answer 862 00:40:25,490 --> 00:40:23,220 to the mystery and secondly who were the 863 00:40:26,810 --> 00:40:25,500 three men and who were they from 864 00:40:29,569 --> 00:40:26,820 well 865 00:40:31,550 --> 00:40:29,579 um at that time that had been the only 866 00:40:33,950 --> 00:40:31,560 thing that has happened I believe I have 867 00:40:35,270 --> 00:40:33,960 a few minutes to tell you about some of 868 00:40:37,010 --> 00:40:35,280 the other things that occurred along 869 00:40:40,430 --> 00:40:37,020 about the same time 870 00:40:43,490 --> 00:40:40,440 in Australia the Australian Flying 871 00:40:46,910 --> 00:40:43,500 Saucer Bureau had been kind of a very 872 00:40:48,349 --> 00:40:46,920 important thing it was headed by Mr E.R 873 00:40:51,050 --> 00:40:48,359 Gerald 874 00:40:53,390 --> 00:40:51,060 now when I was visiting Benders I was 875 00:40:56,210 --> 00:40:53,400 leaving he held up a letter and said you 876 00:40:58,250 --> 00:40:56,220 may be interested in reading this I read 877 00:41:00,770 --> 00:40:58,260 it it was from Gerald it told about a 878 00:41:04,870 --> 00:41:00,780 visitor who had come to see him 879 00:41:07,970 --> 00:41:04,880 a visitor who had sworn him to secrecy 880 00:41:10,670 --> 00:41:07,980 before he would tell him certain 881 00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:10,680 information which he said he had 882 00:41:15,170 --> 00:41:13,380 Gerald who was leader of a flying saucer 883 00:41:16,730 --> 00:41:15,180 organization and wanted to get 884 00:41:19,430 --> 00:41:16,740 information out to the public didn't 885 00:41:22,130 --> 00:41:19,440 like the idea but I suppose he was so 886 00:41:24,230 --> 00:41:22,140 intrigued at learning whatever the mayor 887 00:41:26,270 --> 00:41:24,240 had to say that he said sure I won't 888 00:41:29,030 --> 00:41:26,280 tell anyone if you will tell me what you 889 00:41:31,510 --> 00:41:29,040 have in mind now where upon the visitor 890 00:41:34,510 --> 00:41:31,520 gave him a certain information 891 00:41:37,790 --> 00:41:34,520 and of course Gerald couldn't tell that 892 00:41:39,349 --> 00:41:37,800 I wrote Gerald a long letter I initially 893 00:41:41,810 --> 00:41:39,359 couldn't go to see him he was in 894 00:41:45,770 --> 00:41:41,820 Australia and inquired a lot of things 895 00:41:49,069 --> 00:41:45,780 from him I asked him if if what he heard 896 00:41:51,829 --> 00:41:49,079 from the man could make Bender sick or 897 00:41:53,810 --> 00:41:51,839 if it had made him ill he said no it 898 00:41:56,990 --> 00:41:53,820 hadn't made him ill or frighten him too 899 00:42:00,370 --> 00:41:57,000 greatly but someone might be able to 900 00:42:03,290 --> 00:42:00,380 take it in a certain way and it would be 901 00:42:08,450 --> 00:42:03,300 frightened by such information the point 902 00:42:10,430 --> 00:42:08,460 of becoming ill in in New Zealand there 903 00:42:12,069 --> 00:42:10,440 was another very uh reliable 904 00:42:15,710 --> 00:42:12,079 investigation 905 00:42:18,349 --> 00:42:15,720 disaster investigative organization uh 906 00:42:22,569 --> 00:42:18,359 called the civilian saucer investigation 907 00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:22,579 of New Zealand headed by Mr Fulton after 908 00:42:28,490 --> 00:42:26,220 the matter of Bender had gone along for 909 00:42:30,170 --> 00:42:28,500 some time I found out some very 910 00:42:32,810 --> 00:42:30,180 interesting things from New Zealand 911 00:42:35,230 --> 00:42:32,820 which I thought might help solve the 912 00:42:38,569 --> 00:42:35,240 mystery in Bridgeport Connecticut 913 00:42:43,069 --> 00:42:38,579 Gerald and uh Fulton according to the 914 00:42:45,170 --> 00:42:43,079 latter were engaged on a rather strange 915 00:42:47,810 --> 00:42:45,180 project it sounded like because it was 916 00:42:50,450 --> 00:42:47,820 it was named Project X 917 00:42:52,609 --> 00:42:50,460 I heard a mention of it some way through 918 00:42:54,290 --> 00:42:52,619 the grapevine and I wrote to Fulton who 919 00:42:56,990 --> 00:42:54,300 had become a good friend of mine and I 920 00:43:01,609 --> 00:42:57,000 said just what does this project X 921 00:43:05,410 --> 00:43:01,619 involve he wrote back and he said that 922 00:43:10,609 --> 00:43:05,420 this was a project suggested by Bender 923 00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:10,619 shortly before he had been shut up he 924 00:43:15,109 --> 00:43:12,900 said that Bender having been interested 925 00:43:17,450 --> 00:43:15,119 in the number of the saucer sightings 926 00:43:20,829 --> 00:43:17,460 occurring in the Down Under countries 927 00:43:23,210 --> 00:43:20,839 such as Australia New Zealand had 928 00:43:27,109 --> 00:43:23,220 entertained the idea that there might be 929 00:43:31,490 --> 00:43:27,119 a base around there or in the Antarctic 930 00:43:33,950 --> 00:43:31,500 and the Bender had suggested that they 931 00:43:36,050 --> 00:43:33,960 make a chart taking all of their 932 00:43:39,349 --> 00:43:36,060 sightings which they had in their files 933 00:43:41,870 --> 00:43:39,359 which showed directions of arrival and 934 00:43:46,609 --> 00:43:41,880 departure and putting these on a chart 935 00:43:48,470 --> 00:43:46,619 or on a map if they drew lines the way 936 00:43:51,470 --> 00:43:48,480 the saucers were arrived driving and 937 00:43:54,950 --> 00:43:51,480 leaving and that these lines tended to 938 00:43:58,670 --> 00:43:54,960 intersect it might show a rendezvous 939 00:44:00,710 --> 00:43:58,680 point or maybe even a base if there was 940 00:44:03,050 --> 00:44:00,720 such a thing for the saucers 941 00:44:06,770 --> 00:44:03,060 at that time I could see 942 00:44:10,130 --> 00:44:06,780 that there are suspicions where toward a 943 00:44:12,530 --> 00:44:10,140 base in Antarctica but Benders shut up 944 00:44:14,690 --> 00:44:12,540 immediately after that and the whole 945 00:44:16,910 --> 00:44:14,700 thing was dropped they didn't get into 946 00:44:19,190 --> 00:44:16,920 the project in New Zealand and Australia 947 00:44:22,609 --> 00:44:19,200 and that has always been a question mark 948 00:44:25,490 --> 00:44:22,619 in my mind if that might have been the 949 00:44:28,010 --> 00:44:25,500 thing which had rung the bell and 950 00:44:31,010 --> 00:44:28,020 Bender's mind if he had found out some 951 00:44:34,849 --> 00:44:31,020 proof that there was a base for flying 952 00:44:37,130 --> 00:44:34,859 saucers on the earth that's certainly uh 953 00:44:40,309 --> 00:44:37,140 might cause him some trouble if there 954 00:44:44,450 --> 00:44:40,319 was someone who didn't want him to tell 955 00:44:48,050 --> 00:44:44,460 about it anyway I began to hear other 956 00:44:51,490 --> 00:44:48,060 reports in Canada and incidentally and 957 00:44:55,690 --> 00:44:51,500 in my book uh I don't name this country 958 00:44:59,390 --> 00:44:55,700 a man named Smallwood had a rather 959 00:45:03,109 --> 00:44:59,400 shaking experience the man in Canada 960 00:45:07,309 --> 00:45:03,119 whom I called Smallwood is is a man 961 00:45:09,290 --> 00:45:07,319 called Layman mitrus I don't in the book 962 00:45:12,730 --> 00:45:09,300 I didn't want to mention the fact but 963 00:45:15,970 --> 00:45:12,740 since then it has appeared in a saucer 964 00:45:18,710 --> 00:45:15,980 publication and I suppose is public 965 00:45:21,770 --> 00:45:18,720 written by a fellow who went there and 966 00:45:27,230 --> 00:45:21,780 and tried this information out of the 967 00:45:29,950 --> 00:45:27,240 small wood independently anyway mitrus 968 00:45:33,349 --> 00:45:29,960 was an investigator 969 00:45:35,750 --> 00:45:33,359 in Canada who had often sent me 970 00:45:37,190 --> 00:45:35,760 information to publish in my little 971 00:45:41,150 --> 00:45:37,200 magazine 972 00:45:45,170 --> 00:45:41,160 one day he got wind of a fella up north 973 00:45:47,930 --> 00:45:45,180 of him who had been fishing on during 974 00:45:51,410 --> 00:45:47,940 vacation and had seen a cigar-shaped 975 00:45:54,109 --> 00:45:51,420 object go over and vanish and heard a 976 00:45:55,970 --> 00:45:54,119 noise in the bushes when he went over to 977 00:45:58,849 --> 00:45:55,980 the shore to see what had happened in 978 00:46:01,790 --> 00:45:58,859 the bushes he saw some material some 979 00:46:05,210 --> 00:46:01,800 sort of metallic a residue lying on the 980 00:46:08,030 --> 00:46:05,220 ground he picked it up he said expecting 981 00:46:10,490 --> 00:46:08,040 it to be hot having fallen out of 982 00:46:13,130 --> 00:46:10,500 something but to his surprise it was 983 00:46:15,890 --> 00:46:13,140 strangely cool or cold he said like 984 00:46:19,370 --> 00:46:15,900 feeling the inside of a refrigerator 985 00:46:22,130 --> 00:46:19,380 my friend mitrus wanted to get this 986 00:46:25,370 --> 00:46:22,140 story from him to send down the maid of 987 00:46:27,290 --> 00:46:25,380 publish in my sauce area so he got hold 988 00:46:29,390 --> 00:46:27,300 of the spell and begged him for the 989 00:46:32,809 --> 00:46:29,400 information also for a sample of the 990 00:46:35,809 --> 00:46:32,819 material the fellow was uh apparently 991 00:46:38,450 --> 00:46:35,819 frightened he thought that this was a 992 00:46:40,910 --> 00:46:38,460 government device which he had seen and 993 00:46:45,230 --> 00:46:40,920 that he would be in trouble if he uh 994 00:46:47,870 --> 00:46:45,240 made it known but my friend Madras was a 995 00:46:50,589 --> 00:46:47,880 persuasive kind of fella and finally 996 00:46:54,410 --> 00:46:50,599 talked the man whose name I don't know 997 00:46:57,950 --> 00:46:54,420 into giving him a sample of the staff 998 00:47:00,650 --> 00:46:57,960 immediately Mitch sent me a report on 999 00:47:04,430 --> 00:47:00,660 the whole Affair and he also sent a 1000 00:47:06,950 --> 00:47:04,440 sample to a laboratory in a nearby City 1001 00:47:09,170 --> 00:47:06,960 well as soon as he had received the 1002 00:47:12,650 --> 00:47:09,180 analysis back I got a very strange 1003 00:47:14,089 --> 00:47:12,660 letter from him he said that it was 1004 00:47:16,250 --> 00:47:14,099 something that happened that he didn't 1005 00:47:19,790 --> 00:47:16,260 care to talk about that he couldn't talk 1006 00:47:22,069 --> 00:47:19,800 about the analysis and so forth so I 1007 00:47:24,550 --> 00:47:22,079 call him up on the phone and I got in 1008 00:47:27,290 --> 00:47:24,560 touch with him by mail and I finally 1009 00:47:29,510 --> 00:47:27,300 pried some information out of him as to 1010 00:47:32,870 --> 00:47:29,520 what had happened and this is what had 1011 00:47:35,450 --> 00:47:32,880 happened very briefly having received 1012 00:47:39,589 --> 00:47:35,460 the analysis back from the lab on the 1013 00:47:43,370 --> 00:47:39,599 sample he received a visitor whom he 1014 00:47:44,990 --> 00:47:43,380 assumed to be from the government I 1015 00:47:47,990 --> 00:47:45,000 don't think he asked him at that time 1016 00:47:50,390 --> 00:47:48,000 perhaps he was a little flustered and 1017 00:47:52,210 --> 00:47:50,400 the fella told him to give him the 1018 00:47:57,050 --> 00:47:52,220 sample of the material 1019 00:47:59,450 --> 00:47:57,060 and uh mitrus handed it over to him uh 1020 00:48:02,089 --> 00:47:59,460 he seemed to be rather frightened to 1021 00:48:04,069 --> 00:48:02,099 this fella who asked him for this and 1022 00:48:06,230 --> 00:48:04,079 then I don't have the whole story but I 1023 00:48:08,650 --> 00:48:06,240 understand that the person arrived again 1024 00:48:12,230 --> 00:48:08,660 at his house and paid him a second visit 1025 00:48:14,750 --> 00:48:12,240 at that time mitrus had collected his 1026 00:48:18,170 --> 00:48:14,760 wits and he said to the fellow show me 1027 00:48:20,750 --> 00:48:18,180 your credentials uh first I believe he 1028 00:48:23,930 --> 00:48:20,760 said where are you from and the fellow 1029 00:48:27,589 --> 00:48:23,940 said of all things the Mounted Police 1030 00:48:30,290 --> 00:48:27,599 one of the big agencies in Canada for 1031 00:48:34,309 --> 00:48:30,300 law enforcement and Mitch said let me 1032 00:48:36,710 --> 00:48:34,319 see your card that shows that you are a 1033 00:48:40,550 --> 00:48:36,720 member of them and at that point the 1034 00:48:43,849 --> 00:48:40,560 man's uh almost friendly tone before it 1035 00:48:47,690 --> 00:48:43,859 drastically changed he became menacing 1036 00:48:50,510 --> 00:48:47,700 and threatening and and made some 1037 00:48:52,970 --> 00:48:50,520 threats which for some reason a Madras 1038 00:48:55,250 --> 00:48:52,980 was afraid to repeat to me he said he 1039 00:48:57,589 --> 00:48:55,260 would rather not mention he intimated 1040 00:49:00,829 --> 00:48:57,599 that the safety of his family was 1041 00:49:03,770 --> 00:49:00,839 involved if he talked about this and he 1042 00:49:05,930 --> 00:49:03,780 was so frightened that he didn't want 1043 00:49:08,990 --> 00:49:05,940 anything published about it 1044 00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:09,000 well when I got ready to write my book I 1045 00:49:14,450 --> 00:49:11,280 thought it over and I I thought this 1046 00:49:16,870 --> 00:49:14,460 truth should be printed and if I 1047 00:49:20,510 --> 00:49:16,880 disguised it by not telling the country 1048 00:49:22,370 --> 00:49:20,520 where the man was living nor his name 1049 00:49:25,849 --> 00:49:22,380 that is surely wouldn't cause him any 1050 00:49:29,150 --> 00:49:25,859 trouble so I printed it without uh 1051 00:49:31,250 --> 00:49:29,160 asking him I'm afraid for that 1052 00:49:32,750 --> 00:49:31,260 permission because if I had maybe he 1053 00:49:35,930 --> 00:49:32,760 would have said no I wouldn't be in the 1054 00:49:38,450 --> 00:49:35,940 book but anyway it's there and 1055 00:49:41,030 --> 00:49:38,460 immediately afterward the the man was 1056 00:49:45,230 --> 00:49:41,040 quite Disturbed and frightened that the 1057 00:49:48,290 --> 00:49:45,240 mere mention of it he said and I get 1058 00:49:52,250 --> 00:49:48,300 this from another publication that 1059 00:49:55,609 --> 00:49:52,260 immediately after the book came out in 1060 00:49:58,150 --> 00:49:55,619 Canada about a day afterward the man who 1061 00:50:01,250 --> 00:49:58,160 had found the residue 1062 00:50:03,770 --> 00:50:01,260 mysteriously packed up and left bag and 1063 00:50:05,630 --> 00:50:03,780 baggies as if he were afraid to stay 1064 00:50:10,190 --> 00:50:05,640 around her any longer 1065 00:50:12,829 --> 00:50:10,200 and uh Madras was quite disturbed about 1066 00:50:16,010 --> 00:50:12,839 it however I think that he has forgiven 1067 00:50:18,050 --> 00:50:16,020 me and he has promised to write some 1068 00:50:21,109 --> 00:50:18,060 additional material as long as it 1069 00:50:22,250 --> 00:50:21,119 doesn't involve the subject or the 1070 00:50:24,349 --> 00:50:22,260 material 1071 00:50:27,829 --> 00:50:24,359 and the 1072 00:50:30,050 --> 00:50:27,839 the special report on the analysis and 1073 00:50:32,750 --> 00:50:30,060 I've always wondered just who these 1074 00:50:34,130 --> 00:50:32,760 people were who came to see certain 1075 00:50:37,130 --> 00:50:34,140 researchers 1076 00:50:40,270 --> 00:50:37,140 maybe some of them had been dreamed up 1077 00:50:43,069 --> 00:50:40,280 but surely not all of them I wondered 1078 00:50:44,990 --> 00:50:43,079 what fantastic agency could be 1079 00:50:48,410 --> 00:50:45,000 sponsoring them they certainly didn't 1080 00:50:50,750 --> 00:50:48,420 seem to be government man who came and 1081 00:50:52,790 --> 00:50:50,760 frightened these people I wondered if 1082 00:50:55,970 --> 00:50:52,800 one of them came to see me 1083 00:50:58,670 --> 00:50:55,980 if I would be frightened well I thought 1084 00:51:01,430 --> 00:50:58,680 surely no I I won't be shut up by anyone 1085 00:51:04,870 --> 00:51:01,440 but one never knows 1086 00:51:07,790 --> 00:51:04,880 since that time of publishing a book 1087 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:07,800 I had hoped that I would run across 1088 00:51:13,130 --> 00:51:11,040 several other experiences of quite 1089 00:51:16,069 --> 00:51:13,140 spectacular nature which I would be able 1090 00:51:18,530 --> 00:51:16,079 to report to you but honestly nothing 1091 00:51:21,589 --> 00:51:18,540 that important has come to my attention 1092 00:51:23,690 --> 00:51:21,599 after the book has been written if other 1093 00:51:27,170 --> 00:51:23,700 people have been silenced they're too 1094 00:51:30,370 --> 00:51:27,180 scared to talk about it and or maybe the 1095 00:51:33,950 --> 00:51:30,380 three men or whoever they are has 1096 00:51:35,690 --> 00:51:33,960 decided to change your tactics here is 1097 00:51:37,069 --> 00:51:35,700 an interesting letter however from 1098 00:51:39,290 --> 00:51:37,079 France 1099 00:51:43,510 --> 00:51:39,300 and I think some of you know of this 1100 00:51:46,490 --> 00:51:43,520 fella he is the leading uh Flying Saucer 1101 00:51:49,549 --> 00:51:46,500 Enthusiast in France a writer who has 1102 00:51:51,530 --> 00:51:49,559 got out a book this is confidential and 1103 00:51:53,630 --> 00:51:51,540 I'll just let you guess who his name is 1104 00:51:56,690 --> 00:51:53,640 but I'm sure you can 1105 00:51:58,549 --> 00:51:56,700 now this uh man although he is a writer 1106 00:52:00,069 --> 00:51:58,559 doesn't write very good English so I 1107 00:52:04,730 --> 00:52:00,079 will try to stumble through this letter 1108 00:52:08,510 --> 00:52:04,740 this is dated April 5 1956 dear Gray 1109 00:52:11,690 --> 00:52:08,520 uh your letter March 17 Etc believe me 1110 00:52:13,370 --> 00:52:11,700 or not gray but we have now in France a 1111 00:52:16,069 --> 00:52:13,380 case of benderism 1112 00:52:18,410 --> 00:52:16,079 an engineer and I are preceding our 1113 00:52:21,710 --> 00:52:18,420 investigations on this strange Affair 1114 00:52:25,250 --> 00:52:21,720 but it varied is very difficult because 1115 00:52:28,970 --> 00:52:25,260 the man who received a visit a four man 1116 00:52:32,569 --> 00:52:28,980 had vanished we know he is hidden in 1117 00:52:34,549 --> 00:52:32,579 southern France this guide Knew Too Much 1118 00:52:36,290 --> 00:52:34,559 about flying saucers he puts quotes 1119 00:52:39,950 --> 00:52:36,300 around it because that's the name of my 1120 00:52:42,470 --> 00:52:39,960 book we do not thank the four men are 1121 00:52:45,589 --> 00:52:42,480 French agents of government nor agents 1122 00:52:47,089 --> 00:52:45,599 of another Nation we do not know where 1123 00:52:50,690 --> 00:52:47,099 they do come from 1124 00:52:53,690 --> 00:52:50,700 the man who was involved has received 1125 00:52:56,630 --> 00:52:53,700 some kind of optic instrument now listen 1126 00:52:59,450 --> 00:52:56,640 to this some kind of optic he means 1127 00:53:02,990 --> 00:52:59,460 Optical instrument from a pilot and then 1128 00:53:06,290 --> 00:53:03,000 he has in parentheses a woman pilot of 1129 00:53:09,170 --> 00:53:06,300 FS Flying Saucer and my friend the 1130 00:53:12,170 --> 00:53:09,180 engineer saw this instrument he has saw 1131 00:53:15,650 --> 00:53:12,180 underlined he has manipulated it and was 1132 00:53:18,530 --> 00:53:15,660 stupefied to find that the medal of this 1133 00:53:21,410 --> 00:53:18,540 instrument at its ends was transformed 1134 00:53:22,970 --> 00:53:21,420 into glass or a lens in other words the 1135 00:53:26,030 --> 00:53:22,980 atomic structure of the metal was 1136 00:53:29,390 --> 00:53:26,040 changed into the atomic structure of 1137 00:53:32,450 --> 00:53:29,400 glass for the moment this information is 1138 00:53:35,089 --> 00:53:32,460 confidential I ask you not to mention it 1139 00:53:36,710 --> 00:53:35,099 in your publication so that leaves me 1140 00:53:39,230 --> 00:53:36,720 open to tell you about it I think it 1141 00:53:41,870 --> 00:53:39,240 isn't enough application if I know more 1142 00:53:44,030 --> 00:53:41,880 about these Affairs I shall tell you 1143 00:53:45,650 --> 00:53:44,040 since that time I've been trying to get 1144 00:53:47,690 --> 00:53:45,660 in touch with this man but I haven't 1145 00:53:50,450 --> 00:53:47,700 received any more letters I suppose if 1146 00:53:53,809 --> 00:53:50,460 he is actively engaged in in Flying 1147 00:53:56,809 --> 00:53:53,819 Saucer uh work that maybe he's just too 1148 00:53:59,809 --> 00:53:56,819 busy to answer but he seems to be very 1149 00:54:02,990 --> 00:53:59,819 much intrigued this is the answer the 1150 00:54:06,710 --> 00:54:03,000 author of a very highly respectable 1151 00:54:10,490 --> 00:54:06,720 French book about flying saucers which 1152 00:54:12,290 --> 00:54:10,500 is uh now been translated and has been 1153 00:54:15,410 --> 00:54:12,300 published in England 1154 00:54:19,190 --> 00:54:15,420 so there you have it a number of strange 1155 00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:19,200 cases which I am unable to explain if I 1156 00:54:23,030 --> 00:54:20,400 were 1157 00:54:26,210 --> 00:54:23,040 I certainly uh don't believe I would 1158 00:54:29,089 --> 00:54:26,220 have bothered to have written a book but 1159 00:54:31,910 --> 00:54:29,099 as yet I don't have all the answers I 1160 00:54:34,370 --> 00:54:31,920 would like to be able to stand up here 1161 00:54:36,170 --> 00:54:34,380 and and give you all the answers to the 1162 00:54:39,250 --> 00:54:36,180 Flying Saucer riddle because I think 1163 00:54:43,790 --> 00:54:39,260 you're interested in in knowing them but 1164 00:54:48,589 --> 00:54:43,800 I certainly uh uh will be foolish if I 1165 00:54:51,290 --> 00:54:48,599 did that because really uh I know very 1166 00:54:54,410 --> 00:54:51,300 little more probably than the rest of 1167 00:54:56,270 --> 00:54:54,420 you however I have had an opportunity in 1168 00:54:59,390 --> 00:54:56,280 this particular thing to know something 1169 00:55:01,970 --> 00:54:59,400 about Bender and the other people who 1170 00:55:03,950 --> 00:55:01,980 have been shut up and that's what I 1171 00:55:06,950 --> 00:55:03,960 wanted to tell people about in the book 1172 00:55:10,790 --> 00:55:06,960 and you about here 1173 00:55:12,589 --> 00:55:10,800 but let me say in closing here because 1174 00:55:17,109 --> 00:55:12,599 my time is up 1175 00:55:20,710 --> 00:55:17,119 that I think regardless of um of whether 1176 00:55:25,430 --> 00:55:20,720 flying saucers turn out to be from Mars 1177 00:55:27,710 --> 00:55:25,440 from Venus from Saturn or maybe uh as 1178 00:55:31,430 --> 00:55:27,720 our friend Mosley says from the Earth 1179 00:55:34,790 --> 00:55:31,440 itself I think that other things have 1180 00:55:37,309 --> 00:55:34,800 been more important even if we find out 1181 00:55:40,309 --> 00:55:37,319 that there isn't any such things as 1182 00:55:42,049 --> 00:55:40,319 flying saucers I think that all our work 1183 00:55:44,569 --> 00:55:42,059 will have accomplished something because 1184 00:55:46,910 --> 00:55:44,579 all of us have certainly made a lot of 1185 00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:46,920 good friends while trying to find out 1186 00:55:51,170 --> 00:55:49,260 about this and that's certainly I think 1187 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:51,180 would be worth all our trouble thank you 1188 00:56:04,089 --> 00:55:52,079 very much 1189 00:56:10,130 --> 00:56:07,250 any opinions as to what the sauces are 1190 00:56:13,130 --> 00:56:10,140 and where they come from 1191 00:56:15,170 --> 00:56:13,140 well I have informed any definite 1192 00:56:18,890 --> 00:56:15,180 opinion I think it would be a little 1193 00:56:21,950 --> 00:56:18,900 foolish to do so because that would be 1194 00:56:26,710 --> 00:56:21,960 admitting that uh I knew everything 1195 00:56:30,049 --> 00:56:26,720 I favored the idea that flying crosses 1196 00:56:34,609 --> 00:56:30,059 come from space from some other planet 1197 00:56:37,490 --> 00:56:34,619 in our solar system or in some other 1198 00:56:41,150 --> 00:56:37,500 system however 1199 00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:41,160 uh sometimes I also feel that the 1200 00:56:45,910 --> 00:56:43,920 explanation I might be a little more 1201 00:56:49,309 --> 00:56:45,920 complicated than that 1202 00:56:55,490 --> 00:56:52,549 some of this uh phenomena might even 1203 00:56:57,770 --> 00:56:55,500 involve something as complicated as 1204 00:56:59,930 --> 00:56:57,780 another dimension but I'm not prepared 1205 00:57:01,430 --> 00:56:59,940 to go into a thing like that because I 1206 00:57:03,890 --> 00:57:01,440 know a little about it it's just a 1207 00:57:06,589 --> 00:57:03,900 thought but in repeating I believe the 1208 00:57:09,170 --> 00:57:06,599 sauces uh the most simplest explanation 1209 00:57:12,589 --> 00:57:09,180 I know of arts and space or some other 1210 00:57:14,510 --> 00:57:12,599 planets and uh that still it might be 1211 00:57:16,490 --> 00:57:14,520 along those lines would have been more 1212 00:57:19,910 --> 00:57:16,500 complicated 1213 00:57:22,549 --> 00:57:19,920 uh in regards to Brush Creek incident uh 1214 00:57:25,130 --> 00:57:22,559 I did not personally investigate it 1215 00:57:28,309 --> 00:57:25,140 however a 1216 00:57:31,250 --> 00:57:28,319 fellow who did some research on the west 1217 00:57:33,589 --> 00:57:31,260 coast of Mr Paul Spade whom I had a 1218 00:57:36,589 --> 00:57:33,599 great deal of confidence in I did 1219 00:57:38,870 --> 00:57:36,599 investigate the matter he went there and 1220 00:57:42,109 --> 00:57:38,880 camped with the miners who were involved 1221 00:57:44,990 --> 00:57:42,119 in this incident and uh I'm convinced 1222 00:57:46,910 --> 00:57:45,000 that what he told us was the truth of 1223 00:57:48,170 --> 00:57:46,920 that matter but just a moment I'll 1224 00:57:50,870 --> 00:57:48,180 mentioned something about the branch 1225 00:57:54,530 --> 00:57:50,880 creek monster not a monster but it was a 1226 00:57:57,710 --> 00:57:54,540 little man a two miners working titanium 1227 00:58:01,010 --> 00:57:57,720 digging and said they saw a saucer land 1228 00:58:03,829 --> 00:58:01,020 and a little man got a bucket of water 1229 00:58:06,410 --> 00:58:03,839 from a creek and climb up into the 1230 00:58:08,530 --> 00:58:06,420 saucer and fly away do I find evidence 1231 00:58:12,950 --> 00:58:08,540 that the social sightings are increasing 1232 00:58:15,170 --> 00:58:12,960 despite the strong censorship well first 1233 00:58:19,309 --> 00:58:15,180 of all it's a little hard to absolutely 1234 00:58:21,950 --> 00:58:19,319 prove a formal censorship but uh at 1235 00:58:24,190 --> 00:58:21,960 least now I saw sir sightings of 1236 00:58:28,190 --> 00:58:24,200 incidents are on the increase 1237 00:58:30,290 --> 00:58:28,200 that seems to happen simultaneously with 1238 00:58:32,750 --> 00:58:30,300 the approach of Mars as you know in 1239 00:58:35,390 --> 00:58:32,760 September we had the most favorable 1240 00:58:38,870 --> 00:58:35,400 opposition in Mars in several years and 1241 00:58:39,950 --> 00:58:38,880 I believe that it is established there 1242 00:58:44,089 --> 00:58:39,960 was a definite connection between 1243 00:58:47,870 --> 00:58:44,099 between the opposition of Mars and the 1244 00:58:51,170 --> 00:58:47,880 social science and we had that in 54 and 1245 00:58:53,809 --> 00:58:51,180 in 52. I've often thought that it might 1246 00:58:56,030 --> 00:58:53,819 be because the people are out observing 1247 00:58:58,670 --> 00:58:56,040 Mars looking up at Mars because it's 1248 00:59:03,010 --> 00:58:58,680 close and therefore see more things that 1249 00:59:07,130 --> 00:59:03,020 are going on the sky but as Mr Michelle 1250 00:59:10,490 --> 00:59:07,140 writes in my latest bulletin there does 1251 00:59:13,010 --> 00:59:10,500 seem to be a cycle and I really expect 1252 00:59:17,150 --> 00:59:13,020 the heaviest concentration of sightings 1253 00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:17,160 to occur around October because it seems 1254 00:59:22,849 --> 00:59:20,400 as if the heaviest point of fighting 1255 00:59:27,710 --> 00:59:22,859 doesn't come right at the opposition of 1256 00:59:30,829 --> 00:59:27,720 Mars but about a month afterwards and uh 1257 00:59:32,690 --> 00:59:30,839 I agree with Mr Michelle in that article 1258 00:59:35,690 --> 00:59:32,700 he did for my thought in that respect 1259 00:59:38,390 --> 00:59:35,700 and I have been receiving more reports 1260 00:59:39,770 --> 00:59:38,400 through the mail and uh over here 1261 00:59:43,370 --> 00:59:39,780 starting and so on that's some 1262 00:59:45,349 --> 00:59:43,380 indication of how many have been seen I 1263 00:59:48,589 --> 00:59:45,359 called up the land Stringfield in 1264 00:59:50,690 --> 00:59:48,599 Cincinnati the other night and uh he 1265 00:59:54,230 --> 00:59:50,700 says that these sightings are coming 1266 00:59:58,609 --> 00:59:54,240 into him at a much greater uh greater 1267 01:00:02,270 --> 00:59:58,619 space they tend to have Peaks and no 1268 01:00:04,730 --> 01:00:02,280 points it may be that that after this uh 1269 01:00:06,130 --> 01:00:04,740 this opposition of Mars that they may 1270 01:00:10,130 --> 01:00:06,140 fall off again 1271 01:00:13,250 --> 01:00:10,140 uh can I reveal any significant changes 1272 01:00:16,970 --> 01:00:13,260 in air force speaking in the past year 1273 01:00:21,049 --> 01:00:16,980 uh no I believe such a change would be 1274 01:00:25,730 --> 01:00:21,059 difficult to see uh the Air Force is 1275 01:00:27,890 --> 01:00:25,740 still on the same party line that the 1276 01:00:29,410 --> 01:00:27,900 most of the sightings could be explained 1277 01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:29,420 logically 1278 01:00:34,849 --> 01:00:32,640 however they will not go out on them and 1279 01:00:37,430 --> 01:00:34,859 say that the saucers are not from space 1280 01:00:41,809 --> 01:00:37,440 they never said that they lay themselves 1281 01:00:44,870 --> 01:00:41,819 a a loophole to get around they say that 1282 01:00:46,430 --> 01:00:44,880 they try to hint that they aren't and 1283 01:00:47,990 --> 01:00:46,440 make us believe they aren't that they 1284 01:00:51,049 --> 01:00:48,000 don't definitely say that they aren't 1285 01:00:53,410 --> 01:00:51,059 and I think if they send on saucers with 1286 01:00:55,549 --> 01:00:53,420 the Air Force has been about the same 1287 01:00:58,730 --> 01:00:55,559 over the years 1288 01:01:02,150 --> 01:00:58,740 uh you're asking if the only people who 1289 01:01:06,109 --> 01:01:02,160 were visited were those who obtained uh 1290 01:01:07,930 --> 01:01:06,119 fragments from UFOs are those not in 1291 01:01:12,470 --> 01:01:07,940 entirely right 1292 01:01:14,569 --> 01:01:12,480 Mr Bender had a fragment of a fireball 1293 01:01:17,390 --> 01:01:14,579 which went to a train board in 1294 01:01:19,670 --> 01:01:17,400 Connecticut before uh matter occurred to 1295 01:01:22,609 --> 01:01:19,680 him however he told us that had nothing 1296 01:01:25,670 --> 01:01:22,619 to do with his troubles 1297 01:01:27,349 --> 01:01:25,680 and there's some other cases uh if there 1298 01:01:31,370 --> 01:01:27,359 are no fragments seemed to have been 1299 01:01:33,650 --> 01:01:31,380 involved but it seems in my mind to to 1300 01:01:36,950 --> 01:01:33,660 be either one of two things they have 1301 01:01:39,950 --> 01:01:36,960 some kind of definite evidence and they 1302 01:01:42,710 --> 01:01:39,960 have a fragment of a UFO or they have 1303 01:01:44,690 --> 01:01:42,720 some other kind of evidence any any 1304 01:01:47,030 --> 01:01:44,700 definite evidence that would surely 1305 01:01:50,030 --> 01:01:47,040 crack this thing open uh whether that's 1306 01:01:52,609 --> 01:01:50,040 a fragment or some other kind of proof 1307 01:01:55,069 --> 01:01:52,619 do you think Georgia county has ever 1308 01:01:56,510 --> 01:01:55,079 been in the state you know uh well 1309 01:01:59,210 --> 01:01:56,520 that's really difficult question to 1310 01:02:02,030 --> 01:01:59,220 answer first of all it's a it's not very 1311 01:02:05,089 --> 01:02:02,040 ethical for one author to comment on the 1312 01:02:06,589 --> 01:02:05,099 work of another uh frankly I don't want 1313 01:02:10,670 --> 01:02:06,599 to believe it and maybe that's a very 1314 01:02:13,069 --> 01:02:10,680 narrow-minded opinion I took but um over 1315 01:02:17,150 --> 01:02:13,079 the years since he's read his first book 1316 01:02:20,150 --> 01:02:17,160 I've I've begun to think that there 1317 01:02:22,370 --> 01:02:20,160 probably is some truth in his books and 1318 01:02:25,789 --> 01:02:22,380 I certainly like the first book better 1319 01:02:27,589 --> 01:02:25,799 than I do the second one and they have 1320 01:02:29,150 --> 01:02:27,599 come to this point and I'm still a 1321 01:02:32,030 --> 01:02:29,160 little confused as to what to believe 1322 01:02:34,789 --> 01:02:32,040 but I believe that Georgia danski does 1323 01:02:38,390 --> 01:02:34,799 have some very important knowledge he 1324 01:02:40,849 --> 01:02:38,400 has had some experiences now whether uh 1325 01:02:43,130 --> 01:02:40,859 in the matter of writing a book that the 1326 01:02:45,650 --> 01:02:43,140 public could understand he may have 1327 01:02:49,670 --> 01:02:45,660 taken some editorial license I don't 1328 01:02:52,190 --> 01:02:49,680 know but adanski is certainly not a man 1329 01:02:54,650 --> 01:02:52,200 to to discount at this time I don't 1330 01:02:57,410 --> 01:02:54,660 think do I think that Bender will ever 1331 01:03:02,089 --> 01:02:57,420 reveal his experiences I don't know 1332 01:03:04,670 --> 01:03:02,099 however uh he didn't tell me that when 1333 01:03:07,250 --> 01:03:04,680 uh and yes he could be all the 1334 01:03:08,930 --> 01:03:07,260 information that I would be the first to 1335 01:03:11,270 --> 01:03:08,940 know I didn't know what his position is 1336 01:03:13,910 --> 01:03:11,280 on it now he did not want me to write a 1337 01:03:15,829 --> 01:03:13,920 book about it and I called him up before 1338 01:03:19,010 --> 01:03:15,839 I read it and he said don't write it but 1339 01:03:21,170 --> 01:03:19,020 I went ahead anyway and did it so uh I 1340 01:03:23,390 --> 01:03:21,180 don't know he said another thing that's 1341 01:03:25,069 --> 01:03:23,400 most interesting he we asked him if the 1342 01:03:27,650 --> 01:03:25,079 when the government would tell the 1343 01:03:29,690 --> 01:03:27,660 people about saucers he said if not 1344 01:03:31,670 --> 01:03:29,700 within the next five months I believe 1345 01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:31,680 four months within the next five years 1346 01:03:35,089 --> 01:03:33,839 well they certainly didn't within the 1347 01:03:38,930 --> 01:03:35,099 next four months 1348 01:03:41,750 --> 01:03:38,940 about five years would take us to 57 and 1349 01:03:45,170 --> 01:03:41,760 1957 is the international geophysical 1350 01:03:47,630 --> 01:03:45,180 year as you know when we will have a set 1351 01:03:50,450 --> 01:03:47,640 of satellite up when uh people will be 1352 01:03:53,510 --> 01:03:50,460 greatly cautious of space travel perhaps 1353 01:03:57,049 --> 01:03:53,520 Bender knew about that being involved in 1354 01:03:58,789 --> 01:03:57,059 some rocket societies and that that was 1355 01:04:02,030 --> 01:03:58,799 the reason he said in about five years 1356 01:04:05,329 --> 01:04:02,040 maybe he felt that in 1957 would be a 1357 01:04:09,049 --> 01:04:05,339 good time for the government to tell the 1358 01:04:12,530 --> 01:04:09,059 people about anyway in 1857 promises to 1359 01:04:14,809 --> 01:04:12,540 be a most interesting year for us how do 1360 01:04:16,490 --> 01:04:14,819 I think the Marshall monster Compares 1361 01:04:20,030 --> 01:04:16,500 with the Five Points monster and why do 1362 01:04:22,490 --> 01:04:20,040 I think of it I tend to believe that it 1363 01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:22,500 did happen based upon the people I have 1364 01:04:26,569 --> 01:04:24,900 talked to who have investigated it I 1365 01:04:29,210 --> 01:04:26,579 have not had an opportunity to go there 1366 01:04:33,170 --> 01:04:29,220 and talk to the people myself there were 1367 01:04:35,030 --> 01:04:33,180 some very similar uh things about if 1368 01:04:37,130 --> 01:04:35,040 you'll get my briefcases down there 1369 01:04:38,809 --> 01:04:37,140 maybe I can remember this the little one 1370 01:04:40,549 --> 01:04:38,819 the little one I have a newspaper 1371 01:04:43,190 --> 01:04:40,559 account someone read a story there about 1372 01:04:45,589 --> 01:04:43,200 it and maybe I can I just read you 1373 01:04:47,809 --> 01:04:45,599 something on that which which I thought 1374 01:04:49,250 --> 01:04:47,819 was interesting because it did sound 1375 01:04:51,349 --> 01:04:49,260 similar 1376 01:04:53,030 --> 01:04:51,359 looking at that this morning in fact I 1377 01:04:55,190 --> 01:04:53,040 was trying to get a hold of Sid Taylor 1378 01:04:57,530 --> 01:04:55,200 who wrote the story for the paper but I 1379 01:04:58,370 --> 01:04:57,540 found out that he is not with the paper 1380 01:05:00,710 --> 01:04:58,380 now 1381 01:05:05,030 --> 01:05:00,720 this is interesting and there was an 1382 01:05:09,109 --> 01:05:05,040 odor about the monster at Marshall uh 1383 01:05:10,970 --> 01:05:09,119 the boys uh described it in various ways 1384 01:05:14,089 --> 01:05:10,980 in this newspaper story they said it was 1385 01:05:16,069 --> 01:05:14,099 Mike gasoline and uh they described it 1386 01:05:18,770 --> 01:05:16,079 somebody else to another person but the 1387 01:05:20,510 --> 01:05:18,780 way it turns out is that they did smell 1388 01:05:23,210 --> 01:05:20,520 some odor which is a little hard to 1389 01:05:26,150 --> 01:05:23,220 explain another thing is the strangeness 1390 01:05:28,549 --> 01:05:26,160 of its walk uh one of the boys was asked 1391 01:05:31,250 --> 01:05:28,559 to describe the monsters were quote it 1392 01:05:33,530 --> 01:05:31,260 took big long stride Herman said 1393 01:05:35,270 --> 01:05:33,540 what did the car what did the monster do 1394 01:05:38,030 --> 01:05:35,280 when the car lights headed it took the 1395 01:05:39,950 --> 01:05:38,040 strides faster he reported asked to 1396 01:05:42,650 --> 01:05:39,960 demonstrate how it walked he took a step 1397 01:05:44,630 --> 01:05:42,660 and stopped turned around and smiled and 1398 01:05:47,630 --> 01:05:44,640 said he couldn't he couldn't because 1399 01:05:49,789 --> 01:05:47,640 Claudia didn't walk like a man that is 1400 01:05:52,609 --> 01:05:49,799 it didn't balance as a man has a 1401 01:05:54,770 --> 01:05:52,619 tendency to do when he is running it 1402 01:05:58,490 --> 01:05:54,780 sort of glided now listen to that it 1403 01:06:01,250 --> 01:05:58,500 sort of glided and uh this newspaper 1404 01:06:02,990 --> 01:06:01,260 story is comparing this I sent up the 1405 01:06:05,030 --> 01:06:03,000 seller who wrote the story a copy of the 1406 01:06:08,630 --> 01:06:05,040 book uh he read a previous story to this 1407 01:06:10,730 --> 01:06:08,640 and he's taking this book and he quotes 1408 01:06:13,430 --> 01:06:10,740 me in my interview with a one of the 1409 01:06:15,890 --> 01:06:13,440 boys who saw the Flatwoods Monster 1410 01:06:17,750 --> 01:06:15,900 I asked him to walk around the room now 1411 01:06:19,789 --> 01:06:17,760 this is a boy I'm questioning about the 1412 01:06:21,170 --> 01:06:19,799 front witch monster and where he is 1413 01:06:23,569 --> 01:06:21,180 being interviewed and to imitate the 1414 01:06:26,690 --> 01:06:23,579 movement of the same that was impossible 1415 01:06:29,150 --> 01:06:26,700 he said I couldn't move this it did it 1416 01:06:32,150 --> 01:06:29,160 just moved it didn't work it just moved 1417 01:06:34,130 --> 01:06:32,160 evenly it didn't jump and now here are 1418 01:06:35,750 --> 01:06:34,140 two people trying to describe some sort 1419 01:06:38,390 --> 01:06:35,760 of walk that they've never seen before 1420 01:06:41,089 --> 01:06:38,400 and they end up sort of saying that it's 1421 01:06:42,710 --> 01:06:41,099 kind of Glide if you're afraid so 1422 01:06:44,630 --> 01:06:42,720 there's a similarity 1423 01:06:46,370 --> 01:06:44,640 well I don't have Benny's address with 1424 01:06:48,349 --> 01:06:46,380 me it's a 1425 01:06:51,410 --> 01:06:48,359 I should like to give it out for this 1426 01:06:53,329 --> 01:06:51,420 reason that uh that since this thing has 1427 01:06:55,490 --> 01:06:53,339 happened some people have got to them 1428 01:06:57,109 --> 01:06:55,500 and he says I have annoyed him 1429 01:06:59,270 --> 01:06:57,119 considerably because he just doesn't 1430 01:07:01,309 --> 01:06:59,280 want to talk about it and I wouldn't 1431 01:07:04,250 --> 01:07:01,319 want to be the person who who gave out 1432 01:07:06,349 --> 01:07:04,260 the address and if I did and you went to 1433 01:07:09,170 --> 01:07:06,359 see him he wouldn't uh he wouldn't talk 1434 01:07:12,049 --> 01:07:09,180 to you about it because that's been been 1435 01:07:14,630 --> 01:07:12,059 tried but uh he does live in Bridgeport 1436 01:07:17,930 --> 01:07:14,640 Connecticut and uh is going about a very 1437 01:07:20,630 --> 01:07:17,940 normal existence about two years after 1438 01:07:23,270 --> 01:07:20,640 all of the existence uh occurred he was 1439 01:07:25,990 --> 01:07:23,280 married occasionally I have heard from 1440 01:07:29,510 --> 01:07:26,000 him however he doesn't discuss saucers 1441 01:07:32,210 --> 01:07:29,520 he is an executive of some sort not a 1442 01:07:35,210 --> 01:07:32,220 really big executive but a whole some 1443 01:07:39,109 --> 01:07:35,220 executive position and the Acme Shear 1444 01:07:41,630 --> 01:07:39,119 plant in Bridgeport they make sizzlies 1445 01:07:44,150 --> 01:07:41,640 ordinary scissors as I said he's going 1446 01:07:47,510 --> 01:07:44,160 about his life just as you and I did 1447 01:07:48,829 --> 01:07:47,520 before we take up saucers only only he 1448 01:07:51,109 --> 01:07:48,839 just doesn't want to have anything more 1449 01:07:54,490 --> 01:07:51,119 to do with him so you want to the 1450 01:07:56,809 --> 01:07:54,500 memorial island incident there's uh yes 1451 01:07:58,789 --> 01:07:56,819 that really comes from one of the first 1452 01:08:00,470 --> 01:07:58,799 books and a very interesting one called 1453 01:08:02,390 --> 01:08:00,480 the cunning of the saucers written by 1454 01:08:06,170 --> 01:08:02,400 Kenneth Arnold and published by Ray 1455 01:08:09,650 --> 01:08:06,180 Palmer in Murray Island and at Tacoma 1456 01:08:10,789 --> 01:08:09,660 Washington uh some donuts shaped obvious 1457 01:08:16,249 --> 01:08:10,799 reciting 1458 01:08:18,530 --> 01:08:16,259 uh by two Harbor patrolmen these discs 1459 01:08:20,930 --> 01:08:18,540 are Dennis shaped obviously to be in 1460 01:08:23,990 --> 01:08:20,940 trouble they expelled some sort of 1461 01:08:26,329 --> 01:08:24,000 residue from them which uh with a kind 1462 01:08:28,970 --> 01:08:26,339 of slag which fell all around them and I 1463 01:08:32,030 --> 01:08:28,980 understand killed a dog and injured one 1464 01:08:34,729 --> 01:08:32,040 of the kids that was with them uh after 1465 01:08:37,550 --> 01:08:34,739 that uh Air Force investigators came in 1466 01:08:41,150 --> 01:08:37,560 and checked some of this material and uh 1467 01:08:43,430 --> 01:08:41,160 in their plane and the plane dead crash 1468 01:08:45,769 --> 01:08:43,440 and around in mysterious circumstances 1469 01:08:48,130 --> 01:08:45,779 as they were taking off however I 1470 01:08:51,169 --> 01:08:48,140 understand that there was other residue 1471 01:08:54,709 --> 01:08:51,179 which was preserved and which some 1472 01:08:57,470 --> 01:08:54,719 people still have the project Foster the 1473 01:09:00,249 --> 01:08:57,480 old Air Force Agency for investigating 1474 01:09:04,309 --> 01:09:00,259 saucers uh poo poo the idea considerably 1475 01:09:06,590 --> 01:09:04,319 they said they had exposed the the Maury 1476 01:09:10,849 --> 01:09:06,600 Allen thing as a hoax 1477 01:09:13,789 --> 01:09:10,859 and these were only slag these fragments 1478 01:09:16,970 --> 01:09:13,799 in the repelled book he says that it was 1479 01:09:18,709 --> 01:09:16,980 a hoax I report something about that in 1480 01:09:20,390 --> 01:09:18,719 my book incidentally I think it was very 1481 01:09:22,610 --> 01:09:20,400 interesting and I certainly am not 1482 01:09:25,910 --> 01:09:22,620 saying there's lots of hoax until I have 1483 01:09:29,769 --> 01:09:25,920 some done that uh proof that it was but 1484 01:09:33,229 --> 01:09:29,779 can be said and on about the fireballs 1485 01:09:35,689 --> 01:09:33,239 you're probably most of you thinking 1486 01:09:38,950 --> 01:09:35,699 about the green balls of the Southwest 1487 01:09:41,749 --> 01:09:38,960 which uh Dr Lapeer but believed has 1488 01:09:45,550 --> 01:09:41,759 investigated that is one of the most 1489 01:09:49,669 --> 01:09:45,560 programming cases of UFOs on record 1490 01:09:52,610 --> 01:09:49,679 the things are seen traveling at Great 1491 01:09:55,430 --> 01:09:52,620 rates of speed and then exploding where 1492 01:09:58,250 --> 01:09:55,440 the tremendous Splash how however no 1493 01:10:02,390 --> 01:09:58,260 noise is heard if those were real 1494 01:10:04,310 --> 01:10:02,400 meteors such as Dr lepair you certainly 1495 01:10:06,890 --> 01:10:04,320 would hear them because they would sound 1496 01:10:10,310 --> 01:10:06,900 as loud as a freight train and neither 1497 01:10:12,890 --> 01:10:10,320 as I understand or have any fragments 1498 01:10:14,990 --> 01:10:12,900 that have been found but I would assume 1499 01:10:17,630 --> 01:10:15,000 that those projects are highly 1500 01:10:20,810 --> 01:10:17,640 classified and that if something was 1501 01:10:23,630 --> 01:10:20,820 found it would be secret do I still 1502 01:10:24,530 --> 01:10:23,640 finding sauces are lurking in our outer 1503 01:10:27,470 --> 01:10:24,540 space 1504 01:10:29,270 --> 01:10:27,480 uh but that do you mean possibly an 1505 01:10:33,350 --> 01:10:29,280 error uh just about our atmosphere 1506 01:10:34,550 --> 01:10:33,360 around our Earth yes I certainly think 1507 01:10:36,770 --> 01:10:34,560 they must 1508 01:10:38,990 --> 01:10:36,780 be around somewhere pretty close and 1509 01:10:42,169 --> 01:10:39,000 then keep around closer we see so many 1510 01:10:46,669 --> 01:10:42,179 of them uh some of the astronomers were 1511 01:10:49,490 --> 01:10:46,679 looking uh recently for satellites 1512 01:10:51,729 --> 01:10:49,500 which some people headed were artificial 1513 01:10:54,770 --> 01:10:51,739 which was circling the earth 1514 01:10:56,689 --> 01:10:54,780 they tried to pass these off as Little 1515 01:10:57,470 --> 01:10:56,699 Moons which they may or may not have 1516 01:11:00,590 --> 01:10:57,480 been 1517 01:11:03,110 --> 01:11:00,600 uh Jeff uh Final Bosses are coming here 1518 01:11:05,270 --> 01:11:03,120 from another planet and if they are 1519 01:11:08,689 --> 01:11:05,280 somehow Limited in 1520 01:11:10,430 --> 01:11:08,699 speed range and so forth it would might 1521 01:11:13,790 --> 01:11:10,440 be logical that they would have 1522 01:11:16,790 --> 01:11:13,800 installed around the earth uh rather 1523 01:11:19,790 --> 01:11:16,800 large space stations or perhaps the 1524 01:11:23,390 --> 01:11:19,800 mother ships that we hear about to 1525 01:11:26,090 --> 01:11:23,400 service these machines and that is very 1526 01:11:28,810 --> 01:11:26,100 interesting to think about and we do 1527 01:11:32,990 --> 01:11:28,820 have some proof that there's something 1528 01:11:34,850 --> 01:11:33,000 out there orbiting the Earth because the 1529 01:11:38,209 --> 01:11:34,860 astronomers have been looking for them 1530 01:11:41,450 --> 01:11:38,219 these games the shaver mystery which it 1531 01:11:43,550 --> 01:11:41,460 causes the most controversy that perhaps 1532 01:11:46,430 --> 01:11:43,560 women shouldn't talk about it in my book 1533 01:11:47,770 --> 01:11:46,440 I'm certainly not saying that I accepted 1534 01:11:50,870 --> 01:11:47,780 100 1535 01:11:53,030 --> 01:11:50,880 I'm just reporting it because it is 1536 01:11:54,410 --> 01:11:53,040 interesting and it seemed to fit in with 1537 01:11:57,770 --> 01:11:54,420 some of the things we were doing at the 1538 01:12:00,250 --> 01:11:57,780 time of the Bender mystery now as far as 1539 01:12:02,689 --> 01:12:00,260 what the D Rose look like shaver 1540 01:12:07,070 --> 01:12:02,699 explained that they look something like 1541 01:12:10,490 --> 01:12:07,080 people but um but very uh degenerate 1542 01:12:13,250 --> 01:12:10,500 looking people uh something uh maybe 1543 01:12:16,370 --> 01:12:13,260 like the witch's uh pictured as looking 1544 01:12:19,189 --> 01:12:16,380 maybe a bit uh Haggard and dried up 1545 01:12:20,209 --> 01:12:19,199 looking very evil looking and that sort 1546 01:12:23,990 --> 01:12:20,219 of thing 1547 01:12:26,290 --> 01:12:24,000 uh you're asking uh these monsters which 1548 01:12:30,530 --> 01:12:26,300 we have talked about can they be robots 1549 01:12:33,229 --> 01:12:30,540 but down here by the saucer people to 1550 01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:33,239 investigate things such as fault mines 1551 01:12:38,510 --> 01:12:36,480 or trying to help us in some way in 1552 01:12:41,450 --> 01:12:38,520 other words uh coming into parallel 1553 01:12:43,729 --> 01:12:41,460 territory where the actual people exists 1554 01:12:47,750 --> 01:12:43,739 would not like to come but instead they 1555 01:12:51,290 --> 01:12:47,760 may send some robot or a man like robot 1556 01:12:55,090 --> 01:12:51,300 down here to uh to find out now I think 1557 01:12:57,950 --> 01:12:55,100 that's logical uh the Redwood monster 1558 01:13:00,709 --> 01:12:57,960 and start being out in the book does 1559 01:13:02,990 --> 01:13:00,719 sound something like a robot it looks 1560 01:13:04,130 --> 01:13:03,000 like our conception of one at least to 1561 01:13:07,130 --> 01:13:04,140 some degree 1562 01:13:09,350 --> 01:13:07,140 and uh oh it there's some of those 1563 01:13:11,870 --> 01:13:09,360 monsters which is so terrifying to us 1564 01:13:15,770 --> 01:13:11,880 simply could be maybe some ordinary 1565 01:13:18,290 --> 01:13:15,780 looking uh creature in a spacesuit which 1566 01:13:19,729 --> 01:13:18,300 might look pretty spooky to us it's 1567 01:13:23,410 --> 01:13:19,739 pretty logical 1568 01:13:25,669 --> 01:13:23,420 but they might spend down a mechanical 1569 01:13:29,030 --> 01:13:25,679 contrivance of some kind that could get 1570 01:13:31,250 --> 01:13:29,040 around like a man and collect some of 1571 01:13:33,770 --> 01:13:31,260 this information which they surely would 1572 01:13:35,689 --> 01:13:33,780 be able to do and send back their radio 1573 01:13:38,330 --> 01:13:35,699 to a ship 1574 01:13:39,830 --> 01:13:38,340 I believe that all the time we have 1575 01:13:48,189 --> 01:13:39,840 thank you very much I wish I could 1576 01:13:54,229 --> 01:13:50,810 thank you all folks for coming here 1577 01:13:57,050 --> 01:13:54,239 tonight and uh participating in this
