1
00:00:05,809 --> 00:00:03,530
I've investigated about 50 or 60 cases

2
00:00:08,270 --> 00:00:05,819
since I came down to New Zealand and

3
00:00:10,850 --> 00:00:08,280
Australia extremely interesting UFO

4
00:00:12,650 --> 00:00:10,860
sightings a lot of help from local

5
00:00:17,029 --> 00:00:12,660
investigatory groups in Sydney and

6
00:00:19,670 --> 00:00:17,039
Melbourne and have found as I go through

7
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:19,680
these that the type of sightings are

8
00:00:22,250 --> 00:00:21,060
essentially similar to those in the

9
00:00:25,370 --> 00:00:22,260
United States

10
00:00:27,950 --> 00:00:25,380
what are the main similarities

11
00:00:29,830 --> 00:00:27,960
persons of Rooney quite High credibility

12
00:00:32,450 --> 00:00:29,840
reporting

13
00:00:34,250 --> 00:00:32,460
unconventional objects discs

14
00:00:35,870 --> 00:00:34,260
cigar-shaped objects frequently at very

15
00:00:38,270 --> 00:00:35,880
low elevation

16
00:00:41,330 --> 00:00:38,280
hovering over sometimes urban areas

17
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:41,340
sometimes over cars following cars

18
00:00:46,729 --> 00:00:44,820
same kind of public reaction quite a

19
00:00:49,069 --> 00:00:46,739
quite a strong similarity to the

20
00:00:51,110 --> 00:00:49,079
American reluctance to report them to

21
00:00:53,869 --> 00:00:51,120
official channels because of fear of

22
00:00:56,389 --> 00:00:53,879
ridicule but behind it all a very large

23
00:00:59,590 --> 00:00:56,399
number a a very surprisingly large

24
00:01:02,450 --> 00:00:59,600
number of these sightings of quite

25
00:01:03,770 --> 00:01:02,460
unconventional objects maneuvering in

26
00:01:05,929 --> 00:01:03,780
our airspace

27
00:01:09,230 --> 00:01:05,939
you have been highly critical of your

28
00:01:11,929 --> 00:01:09,240
own government's attitude towards ufas

29
00:01:13,250 --> 00:01:11,939
indeed indeed I have yes the uh I've

30
00:01:15,469 --> 00:01:13,260
taken a very good look at the American

31
00:01:18,109 --> 00:01:15,479
official investigation program Project

32
00:01:20,929 --> 00:01:18,119
Blue Book run by the Air Force and I

33
00:01:22,249 --> 00:01:20,939
have quite unequivocally described it to

34
00:01:24,950 --> 00:01:22,259
Scientific colleagues back in the States

35
00:01:26,270 --> 00:01:24,960
as superficial and incompetent why has

36
00:01:27,289 --> 00:01:26,280
the government taken this attitude in

37
00:01:30,230 --> 00:01:27,299
your opinion

38
00:01:34,609 --> 00:01:30,240
it's not not a brief story but it goes

39
00:01:37,910 --> 00:01:34,619
back to 1953 when a CIA involved

40
00:01:39,710 --> 00:01:37,920
investigation was held as a result of

41
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:39,720
the extremely heavy wave of sightings in

42
00:01:46,990 --> 00:01:43,439
1952 the CIA and Air Force became so

43
00:01:49,429 --> 00:01:47,000
concerned over the sheer number of uh

44
00:01:51,050 --> 00:01:49,439
reports that were tying up air American

45
00:01:53,690 --> 00:01:51,060
intelligence channels that they wanted

46
00:01:55,310 --> 00:01:53,700
to get this signal out of the system ask

47
00:01:57,830 --> 00:01:55,320
the Air Force the CIA asked the Air

48
00:02:00,050 --> 00:01:57,840
Force for a debunking policy the literal

49
00:02:02,950 --> 00:02:00,060
wording was to debunk the flying saucers

50
00:02:05,330 --> 00:02:02,960
to decrease public interest in the UFOs

51
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:05,340
regulations were promulgated very

52
00:02:09,350 --> 00:02:07,740
shortly that made it a crime punishable

53
00:02:12,110 --> 00:02:09,360
with I think it's ten thousand dollars

54
00:02:13,610 --> 00:02:12,120
fine and or ten years in prison to

55
00:02:16,010 --> 00:02:13,620
release any information at air base

56
00:02:18,670 --> 00:02:16,020
level on UFOs and as a result of that in

57
00:02:21,410 --> 00:02:18,680
the sequence of of steady downgrading

58
00:02:23,690 --> 00:02:21,420
the whole problem has been essentially

59
00:02:25,369 --> 00:02:23,700
lost from scientific site in the U.S and

60
00:02:27,229 --> 00:02:25,379
nothing resembling any scientific

61
00:02:29,750 --> 00:02:27,239
investigation has been going on in the

62
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:29,760
past 15 years has this been typical of

63
00:02:35,630 --> 00:02:31,260
the attitude of most World governments

64
00:02:37,430 --> 00:02:35,640
as nearly as I can tell yes there seems

65
00:02:40,070 --> 00:02:37,440
to be quite surprising similarity

66
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:40,080
between the official Russian British

67
00:02:46,970 --> 00:02:43,519
Australian Canadian American French

68
00:02:48,710 --> 00:02:46,980
Italian pronouncements they all seem to

69
00:02:51,110 --> 00:02:48,720
take the view that there's nothing to it

70
00:02:55,250 --> 00:02:51,120
there's a lot of nonsense that people

71
00:02:56,990 --> 00:02:55,260
see things and that it is not a real

72
00:02:59,990 --> 00:02:57,000
scientific problem at all and I most

73
00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:00,000
hardly disagree with that you have been

74
00:03:05,690 --> 00:03:02,760
as far as the United Nations with this

75
00:03:07,790 --> 00:03:05,700
problem yes about two three weeks ago on

76
00:03:10,910 --> 00:03:07,800
the seventh of this month of June nearly

77
00:03:12,229 --> 00:03:10,920
a month ago now I spoke to the outer

78
00:03:13,190 --> 00:03:12,239
space Affairs group in the United

79
00:03:16,970 --> 00:03:13,200
Nations

80
00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:16,980
urging immediate U.N actioned on this

81
00:03:21,710 --> 00:03:19,560
problem it seems to me that the UN is

82
00:03:24,589 --> 00:03:21,720
one of the best places to tackle the

83
00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:24,599
international the global aspects of the

84
00:03:28,850 --> 00:03:27,060
UFO problem and all evidence now points

85
00:03:31,729 --> 00:03:28,860
to to its being a truly Global

86
00:03:33,890 --> 00:03:31,739
phenomenon uh utan made a statement at

87
00:03:35,990 --> 00:03:33,900
the time I didn't get to see you Todd

88
00:03:37,369 --> 00:03:36,000
that was a busy day June 7th uh in fact

89
00:03:38,750 --> 00:03:37,379
I had a date to see him at four o'clock

90
00:03:40,250 --> 00:03:38,760
and if there was any one hour that was

91
00:03:42,050 --> 00:03:40,260
the peak of the Mideast crisis four

92
00:03:44,390 --> 00:03:42,060
o'clock was it so I unfortunately didn't

93
00:03:46,190 --> 00:03:44,400
get to see you a ton uh but uh quite

94
00:03:48,649 --> 00:03:46,200
recently a few days ago I I got a wire

95
00:03:50,030 --> 00:03:48,659
from a phone call from San Francisco uh

96
00:03:53,089 --> 00:03:50,040
pointing out that he had made a

97
00:03:56,270 --> 00:03:53,099
statement uh to Drew Pearson an American

98
00:03:58,309 --> 00:03:56,280
colonist that aside from the Vietnamese

99
00:04:01,070 --> 00:03:58,319
War the UFO problem is the greatest

100
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:01,080
International problem and I sent him a

101
00:04:05,089 --> 00:04:03,720
wire strongly endorsing his position but

102
00:04:06,949 --> 00:04:05,099
disagreeing with him to the extent of

103
00:04:11,210 --> 00:04:06,959
saying that I believe it's the most

104
00:04:19,550 --> 00:04:16,610
we we have in in the UFO problem a

105
00:04:21,050 --> 00:04:19,560
a very strange situation here for 20

106
00:04:23,689 --> 00:04:21,060
years plus

107
00:04:25,969 --> 00:04:23,699
uh essentially similar phenomena have

108
00:04:27,409 --> 00:04:25,979
been reported all over the world large

109
00:04:29,689 --> 00:04:27,419
numbers in the U.S

110
00:04:31,909 --> 00:04:29,699
official of them ignoring them Air Force

111
00:04:33,890 --> 00:04:31,919
is ignoring them and yet apparently a

112
00:04:35,810 --> 00:04:33,900
steady increase in the numbers of

113
00:04:38,570 --> 00:04:35,820
Reliable Reports from people in all

114
00:04:40,189 --> 00:04:38,580
walks of life seeing these objects that

115
00:04:41,749 --> 00:04:40,199
are not products of our technology that

116
00:04:42,830 --> 00:04:41,759
are not meteorological astronomical

117
00:04:44,990 --> 00:04:42,840
phenomena

118
00:04:46,969 --> 00:04:45,000
hovering at low altitude increasing

119
00:04:48,890 --> 00:04:46,979
numbers in urban areas and collectively

120
00:04:51,770 --> 00:04:48,900
we don't know what's going on that's an

121
00:04:53,749 --> 00:04:51,780
extremely unwise situation no matter how

122
00:04:56,629 --> 00:04:53,759
you view it we do not know what is

123
00:04:58,370 --> 00:04:56,639
involved in this problem there are no

124
00:05:01,010 --> 00:04:58,380
strong indications of anything

125
00:05:03,950 --> 00:05:01,020
resembling hostility I see some faint

126
00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:03,960
indications of Hazard and danger but in

127
00:05:07,330 --> 00:05:05,160
general to

128
00:05:09,710 --> 00:05:07,340
to have this possibility that the world

129
00:05:11,629 --> 00:05:09,720
is under something resembling

130
00:05:14,270 --> 00:05:11,639
reconnaissance possibly from some

131
00:05:16,490 --> 00:05:14,280
extraterrestrial source and to go on

132
00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:16,500
about our petty ways collectively

133
00:05:19,730 --> 00:05:18,180
doesn't seem to me to be a wise

134
00:05:21,850 --> 00:05:19,740
situation so I'm trying to get

135
00:05:23,529 --> 00:05:21,860
scientists and

136
00:05:26,629 --> 00:05:23,539
governmental
