00:08:10,560 history and they don't get into ufos so 214 00:08:12,629 --> 00:08:11,599 why did i 215 00:08:14,230 --> 00:08:12,639 that i would have a harder time 216 00:08:16,309 --> 00:08:14,240 answering um 217 00:08:18,950 --> 00:08:16,319 but i will say that 218 00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,960 i had a professor years later who after 219 00:08:21,830 --> 00:08:20,479 i published my first book he said 220 00:08:23,909 --> 00:08:21,840 richard 221 00:08:25,430 --> 00:08:23,919 you were always searching for something 222 00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:25,440 a little bit beyond what we had to offer 223 00:08:29,430 --> 00:08:27,919 you and that was actually his words 224 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:29,440 so i looked at the ufo topic and i 225 00:08:32,550 --> 00:08:30,639 thought i don't know if this is real or 226 00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:32,560 this is a lot of nonsense but uh this 227 00:08:35,829 --> 00:08:34,000 looks like it's a serious book so i'll 228 00:08:38,310 --> 00:08:35,839 read it 229 00:08:39,589 --> 00:08:38,320 and um i was very intrigued because he 230 00:08:41,670 --> 00:08:39,599 had some documents that looked like they 231 00:08:42,949 --> 00:08:41,680 were legit and i thought well let's go 232 00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:42,959 further and then i thought i'll take 233 00:08:45,990 --> 00:08:44,800 three months out of my life 234 00:08:47,190 --> 00:08:46,000 that was the amount three months i 235 00:08:49,350 --> 00:08:47,200 thought i'm going to research this i'm 236 00:08:50,949 --> 00:08:49,360 going to dive in i will find out what is 237 00:08:52,310 --> 00:08:50,959 the strength of the argument of the 238 00:08:54,710 --> 00:08:52,320 believers do they really have something 239 00:08:56,070 --> 00:08:54,720 to stand on or not and my way of doing 240 00:08:58,630 --> 00:08:56,080 it was to go through the bibliography 241 00:09:00,710 --> 00:08:58,640 look at all the old books how 242 00:09:01,990 --> 00:09:00,720 strong was the argument and i got hooked 243 00:09:04,389 --> 00:09:02,000 i mean that's what pulled me right in 244 00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:04,399 was there something uh was there a 245 00:09:08,550 --> 00:09:07,120 specific case back in your 246 00:09:10,230 --> 00:09:08,560 you know as you were starting out was 247 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:10,240 there one case that just made you 248 00:09:14,389 --> 00:09:12,640 scratch your head and go hmm 249 00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:14,399 yeah there were a couple of cases and a 250 00:09:18,230 --> 00:09:16,720 couple of military documents and 251 00:09:19,750 --> 00:09:18,240 intelligence community documents that 252 00:09:22,710 --> 00:09:19,760 was always my background that really 253 00:09:24,550 --> 00:09:22,720 remains my primary interest in this is 254 00:09:26,470 --> 00:09:24,560 looking at confirmed 255 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:26,480 declassified 256 00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,560 primarily u.s government documents that 257 00:09:32,630 --> 00:09:30,320 tested the reality 258 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:32,640 and through those documents 259 00:09:36,470 --> 00:09:33,600 you get 260 00:09:38,389 --> 00:09:36,480 military 261 00:09:40,070 --> 00:09:38,399 statements of various types 262 00:09:42,310 --> 00:09:40,080 my attitude and 263 00:09:45,110 --> 00:09:42,320 my desire to focus on the military cases 264 00:09:47,430 --> 00:09:45,120 initially was very simple 265 00:09:50,070 --> 00:09:47,440 everyone can see a ufo and often those 266 00:09:52,550 --> 00:09:50,080 sightings are legit yes but when the 267 00:09:55,110 --> 00:09:52,560 military encounters a ufo the military 268 00:09:57,190 --> 00:09:55,120 is obligated to do something about it 269 00:09:58,710 --> 00:09:57,200 i wanted to know 270 00:10:00,070 --> 00:09:58,720 what were the nature of these encounters 271 00:10:02,389 --> 00:10:00,080 and what did they do what did they think 272 00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:02,399 about it well here's basically what i 273 00:10:05,829 --> 00:10:04,080 learned 274 00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,839 in the declassified literature that we 275 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:07,360 have and by the way we only had a really 276 00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:09,839 brief window where the the freedom of 277 00:10:14,069 --> 00:10:12,080 information act was truly useful for the 278 00:10:15,269 --> 00:10:14,079 ufo topic that's right 279 00:10:16,949 --> 00:10:15,279 a lot of people don't realize this they 280 00:10:18,389 --> 00:10:16,959 think i'll just issue a foia request and 281 00:10:20,230 --> 00:10:18,399 get what you need but it doesn't really 282 00:10:22,470 --> 00:10:20,240 it's not that simple but in the late 283 00:10:24,389 --> 00:10:22,480 1970s thank you jimmy carter we had a 284 00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:24,399 freedom of information act that was 285 00:10:27,350 --> 00:10:25,519 useful 286 00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:27,360 that did allow for the release of 287 00:10:31,030 --> 00:10:28,880 thousands of pages of interesting 288 00:10:33,269 --> 00:10:31,040 documents so based on those i just 289 00:10:34,550 --> 00:10:33,279 looked at many many of them 290 00:10:35,829 --> 00:10:34,560 and what you find are really two 291 00:10:38,790 --> 00:10:35,839 fundamental things you find some 292 00:10:41,269 --> 00:10:38,800 interesting sightings 293 00:10:43,670 --> 00:10:41,279 over one example over oak ridge nuclear 294 00:10:46,630 --> 00:10:43,680 facility in the early 1950s an engineer 295 00:10:47,829 --> 00:10:46,640 described how a black object appeared 296 00:10:50,470 --> 00:10:47,839 from a 297 00:10:53,030 --> 00:10:50,480 very very fast speed then stopped 298 00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:53,040 joined by two other black objects and 299 00:10:56,870 --> 00:10:55,040 then they shot off at a tremendous speed 300 00:10:58,870 --> 00:10:56,880 toward the east and he's scratching his 301 00:11:00,069 --> 00:10:58,880 head oak ridge was a very big deal 302 00:11:01,750 --> 00:11:00,079 that's where a lot of our atomic 303 00:11:04,470 --> 00:11:01,760 research was being done 304 00:11:06,310 --> 00:11:04,480 lots of sightings by uh military pilots 305 00:11:07,670 --> 00:11:06,320 in the 40s and 50s that were recorded in 306 00:11:09,430 --> 00:11:07,680 these documents showing equally 307 00:11:11,110 --> 00:11:09,440 extraordinary things so that was one 308 00:11:13,910 --> 00:11:11,120 part of it the other thing was the 309 00:11:16,310 --> 00:11:13,920 analyses one was a famous memo a lot of 310 00:11:19,030 --> 00:11:16,320 ufo researchers know it very well 311 00:11:20,389 --> 00:11:19,040 called the twining memo 1947 general 312 00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:20,399 nathan twining 313 00:11:23,750 --> 00:11:22,800 who later became head of the u.s air 314 00:11:25,269 --> 00:11:23,760 force 315 00:11:27,030 --> 00:11:25,279 wrote a memo to another general in 316 00:11:30,550 --> 00:11:27,040 september of that year and he said look 317 00:11:32,470 --> 00:11:30,560 this phenomenon is real not visionary or 318 00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:32,480 fictitious how much more solid do you 319 00:11:36,630 --> 00:11:34,560 want of a statement the phenomenon is 320 00:11:38,550 --> 00:11:36,640 real not visionary or fictitious 321 00:11:40,949 --> 00:11:38,560 and then he went on to describe the 322 00:11:43,350 --> 00:11:40,959 nature of the the military 323 00:11:45,990 --> 00:11:43,360 uh visual 324 00:11:48,710 --> 00:11:46,000 sightings of these objects and 325 00:11:51,030 --> 00:11:48,720 saying they're typically disc shaped 326 00:11:54,069 --> 00:11:51,040 well that's interesting 327 00:11:55,030 --> 00:11:54,079 uh dome shape rounded on top flat on the 328 00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:55,040 bottom 329 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:58,079 what what is that in 1947 right silent 330 00:12:01,350 --> 00:11:59,920 or nearly silent evasive maneuvers one 331 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:01,360 side so here you have a very detailed 332 00:12:05,590 --> 00:12:04,000 military analysis when i read that 333 00:12:06,790 --> 00:12:05,600 i just thought wow 334 00:12:07,750 --> 00:12:06,800 because 335 00:12:09,509 --> 00:12:07,760 look 336 00:12:11,110 --> 00:12:09,519 even if nathan twining and the other 337 00:12:12,310 --> 00:12:11,120 analysts were wrong 338 00:12:15,190 --> 00:12:12,320 about this 339 00:12:17,509 --> 00:12:15,200 it was obvious that they were interested 340 00:12:19,590 --> 00:12:17,519 and so why was this absent from every 341 00:12:21,269 --> 00:12:19,600 every academic history book it ever read 342 00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:21,279 you have this significant thing here and 343 00:12:24,470 --> 00:12:23,120 what in what version of reality is that 344 00:12:26,069 --> 00:12:24,480 not interesting that's right that's 345 00:12:28,230 --> 00:12:26,079 right you know in the context of the 346 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:28,240 cold war in the context of of 347 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:31,200 post-war america it's damned interesting 348 00:12:34,790 --> 00:12:32,720 and i wanted to know 349 00:12:38,150 --> 00:12:34,800 how serious did this get and the thing 350 00:12:39,670 --> 00:12:38,160 about this phenomenon the ufo subject is 351 00:12:41,430 --> 00:12:39,680 that it's uh 352 00:12:44,710 --> 00:12:41,440 i mean we can call it a rabbit hole but 353 00:12:47,750 --> 00:12:44,720 really what it is it's a a gateway 354 00:12:50,069 --> 00:12:47,760 into a full range of fascinating other 355 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,079 questions questions and issues and 356 00:12:54,069 --> 00:12:53,279 subject matter um what i found is that 357 00:12:56,629 --> 00:12:54,079 one 358 00:12:58,150 --> 00:12:56,639 question led to multiple more questions 359 00:12:59,509 --> 00:12:58,160 and each one of those led to many many 360 00:13:01,110 --> 00:12:59,519 more questions 361 00:13:03,910 --> 00:13:01,120 for example 362 00:13:06,550 --> 00:13:03,920 no and it can be endless i mean as you 363 00:13:08,230 --> 00:13:06,560 exactly yes you know where not only 364 00:13:10,550 --> 00:13:08,240 where is the academic community in this 365 00:13:12,150 --> 00:13:10,560 i mean what does that say how can we is 366 00:13:14,470 --> 00:13:12,160 there a connection with the intelligence 367 00:13:16,629 --> 00:13:14,480 world yes there is world of the 368 00:13:18,550 --> 00:13:16,639 mainstream media ditto why weren't they 369 00:13:20,470 --> 00:13:18,560 covering this the way that rational 370 00:13:21,910 --> 00:13:20,480 ordinary intelligent people would think 371 00:13:23,990 --> 00:13:21,920 this should be covered in in an 372 00:13:25,269 --> 00:13:24,000 intelligent way and it wasn't so i would 373 00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:25,279 ask all of these other questions then 374 00:13:30,310 --> 00:13:28,240 you get into larger politics how bad um 375 00:13:31,990 --> 00:13:30,320 how big is this cover-up is it is it 376 00:13:33,430 --> 00:13:32,000 something that the president really 377 00:13:35,269 --> 00:13:33,440 knows about doesn't know about this 378 00:13:36,790 --> 00:13:35,279 military are they just scratching their 379 00:13:37,990 --> 00:13:36,800 head running around trying to hide the 380 00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:38,000 fact that they don't know or do they 381 00:13:41,590 --> 00:13:39,680 have something more tangible that 382 00:13:43,509 --> 00:13:41,600 they're hiding you get into all of these 383 00:13:45,750 --> 00:13:43,519 issues it's endless it's an endless 384 00:13:47,829 --> 00:13:45,760 series of questions 385 00:13:48,949 --> 00:13:47,839 but uh simply because you get more 386 00:13:52,629 --> 00:13:48,959 questions doesn't mean it isn't worth 387 00:13:56,069 --> 00:13:52,639 your time to look into i have to uh uh 388 00:13:58,870 --> 00:13:56,079 i'm sitting in for art bell uh on uh on 389 00:14:00,230 --> 00:13:58,880 the dark matter radio network uh while 390 00:14:03,590 --> 00:14:00,240 art is away 391 00:14:05,670 --> 00:14:03,600 and i'm gonna ask a question 392 00:14:07,590 --> 00:14:05,680 for art because this is something he 393 00:14:08,470 --> 00:14:07,600 would probably ask and i have 394 00:14:12,230 --> 00:14:08,480 the 395 00:14:13,910 --> 00:14:12,240 uh you represent a newer generation of 396 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:13,920 ufologists 397 00:14:18,230 --> 00:14:15,920 what i mean by that well okay and what i 398 00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:18,240 mean by that is this um 399 00:14:22,069 --> 00:14:19,600 uh 400 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,079 you are challenging stuff from a 401 00:14:26,389 --> 00:14:24,399 different point of 402 00:14:28,870 --> 00:14:26,399 a different mindset 403 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:28,880 than what was occurring in the 50s 60s 404 00:14:35,590 --> 00:14:32,399 and 70s and probably the 80s too as well 405 00:14:37,829 --> 00:14:35,600 and now everybody looks to you 406 00:14:40,310 --> 00:14:37,839 with a a different set of eyes too and 407 00:14:43,350 --> 00:14:40,320 they must come up and ask all of those 408 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:43,360 questions all of the time if you being 409 00:14:50,550 --> 00:14:44,720 the 410 00:14:52,550 --> 00:14:50,560 that and it must happen all day long it 411 00:14:55,269 --> 00:14:52,560 happened it does happen every day when i 412 00:14:57,670 --> 00:14:55,279 get a nice uh congratulatory email from 413 00:14:59,670 --> 00:14:57,680 a reader or a fan of my books 414 00:15:01,829 --> 00:14:59,680 i have two immediate reactions one is i 415 00:15:04,230 --> 00:15:01,839 get a nice happy feeling like oh good 416 00:15:05,750 --> 00:15:04,240 someone likes what i have to do or what 417 00:15:07,509 --> 00:15:05,760 i have to say 418 00:15:08,790 --> 00:15:07,519 and then the other side of it is i don't 419 00:15:10,389 --> 00:15:08,800 know if it's quite a feeling of dread 420 00:15:12,790 --> 00:15:10,399 but it's something close to that because 421 00:15:15,269 --> 00:15:12,800 i think well this is a person 422 00:15:18,389 --> 00:15:15,279 who is putting investing some kind of 423 00:15:20,310 --> 00:15:18,399 hope or um expectation in what i do 424 00:15:22,949 --> 00:15:20,320 right and i certainly i'd never want to 425 00:15:25,189 --> 00:15:22,959 let any any of these um individuals down 426 00:15:26,949 --> 00:15:25,199 so the dread is this feeling of look 427 00:15:28,470 --> 00:15:26,959 this is serious it's a responsibility 428 00:15:31,750 --> 00:15:28,480 i'm not going to blow it 429 00:15:33,509 --> 00:15:31,760 uh when i'm asked to answer questions 430 00:15:35,670 --> 00:15:33,519 and look here the thing is 431 00:15:37,189 --> 00:15:35,680 you're going to make a huge mistake 432 00:15:40,230 --> 00:15:37,199 if you pretend that you're some guru 433 00:15:41,750 --> 00:15:40,240 who's got the answers and and then the 434 00:15:43,829 --> 00:15:41,760 most important thing for me to remember 435 00:15:45,990 --> 00:15:43,839 is to use the words i don't know 436 00:15:47,269 --> 00:15:46,000 for a lot of these questions i'm happy 437 00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:47,279 to speculate 438 00:15:50,629 --> 00:15:48,959 but it's essential 439 00:15:52,310 --> 00:15:50,639 and particularly in this field where 440 00:15:53,749 --> 00:15:52,320 we're really it's not simply that we're 441 00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:53,759 dealing with a cover-up but makes it 442 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:54,880 hard enough but we're dealing with a 443 00:15:59,829 --> 00:15:57,360 genuinely difficult topic that i i 444 00:16:01,189 --> 00:15:59,839 really have suspected is at the edge of 445 00:16:05,749 --> 00:16:01,199 our 446 00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,759 comprehend not necessarily beyond but 447 00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:07,680 it's in a lot of ways it's at the edges 448 00:16:10,870 --> 00:16:08,800 when we deal with 449 00:16:12,470 --> 00:16:10,880 scientific issues especially 450 00:16:15,509 --> 00:16:12,480 so i'm never afraid to admit if i don't 451 00:16:17,829 --> 00:16:15,519 know something and and um believe me 452 00:16:19,430 --> 00:16:17,839 if once you go down that that road of 453 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:19,440 pretending that you know 454 00:16:22,870 --> 00:16:21,360 oh yes i read that book or yes i'm very 455 00:16:24,550 --> 00:16:22,880 familiar and then you're getting into a 456 00:16:26,230 --> 00:16:24,560 really dangerous territory and i don't 457 00:16:29,590 --> 00:16:26,240 ever want to go there well there is a 458 00:16:32,150 --> 00:16:29,600 video on youtube and it's entitled of 459 00:16:35,110 --> 00:16:32,160 you that that the greatest 10 minute 460 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:35,120 speech is ufo history right 461 00:16:38,550 --> 00:16:36,959 and that's that's tough i was happy to 462 00:16:39,670 --> 00:16:38,560 see them title it happened i won't lie 463 00:16:41,110 --> 00:16:39,680 to you 464 00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:41,120 i mean 465 00:16:49,350 --> 00:16:47,040 so okay let's move on really quick um 466 00:16:52,470 --> 00:16:49,360 why this book now 467 00:16:53,990 --> 00:16:52,480 um the title says it says it all but 468 00:16:55,910 --> 00:16:54,000 why now 469 00:16:57,430 --> 00:16:55,920 well um you know you said a little while 470 00:16:59,509 --> 00:16:57,440 ago that i i was part of a new 471 00:17:01,430 --> 00:16:59,519 generation of researchers i'm a new 472 00:17:03,670 --> 00:17:01,440 generation with hair that's rapidly 473 00:17:06,470 --> 00:17:03,680 graying but when i um when i entered 474 00:17:08,230 --> 00:17:06,480 this field i was considered very very 475 00:17:10,549 --> 00:17:08,240 new in certain ways that was in 2000 476 00:17:12,150 --> 00:17:10,559 when my first book was published 477 00:17:13,909 --> 00:17:12,160 and i will um 478 00:17:15,429 --> 00:17:13,919 here's what was different about it and 479 00:17:17,510 --> 00:17:15,439 it and i'll get to this book in just a 480 00:17:19,750 --> 00:17:17,520 second because my first book was was 481 00:17:22,230 --> 00:17:19,760 also something new it was an attempt to 482 00:17:23,750 --> 00:17:22,240 do a historical narrative of this topic 483 00:17:25,750 --> 00:17:23,760 that really hadn't been done 484 00:17:27,189 --> 00:17:25,760 particularly with a political angle and 485 00:17:28,710 --> 00:17:27,199 trying to understand 486 00:17:30,630 --> 00:17:28,720 how the 487 00:17:32,150 --> 00:17:30,640 military cover-up worked 488 00:17:33,750 --> 00:17:32,160 it was a comprehensive view at that time 489 00:17:36,070 --> 00:17:33,760 and i caught a lot of hell from that by 490 00:17:37,750 --> 00:17:36,080 the way from a few of the more um the 491 00:17:39,270 --> 00:17:37,760 older researchers in the field they were 492 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,280 not happy they said it's conspiracy 493 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:41,280 mongering and whatnot 494 00:17:45,590 --> 00:17:43,360 and i i really felt that it was a new 495 00:17:47,270 --> 00:17:45,600 approach that was 14 years ago ever 496 00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:47,280 since i've been in this field publicly i 497 00:17:51,110 --> 00:17:49,919 have always pushed myself always 498 00:17:53,270 --> 00:17:51,120 to explore 499 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:53,280 this territory in a refreshing way as i 500 00:17:57,990 --> 00:17:54,880 can 501 00:17:59,590 --> 00:17:58,000 look if if someone were to say to me 502 00:18:01,029 --> 00:17:59,600 uh you're going to write a couple of 503 00:18:03,510 --> 00:18:01,039 good volumes of history that will lay 504 00:18:04,950 --> 00:18:03,520 this out clearly for people i would be i 505 00:18:06,390 --> 00:18:04,960 would think okay well that's nice but if 506 00:18:07,270 --> 00:18:06,400 someone were to tell me you're going to 507 00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:07,280 write 508 00:18:11,590 --> 00:18:09,840 books that will challenge people that 509 00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:11,600 will challenge yourself that will make 510 00:18:14,549 --> 00:18:13,200 people sometimes shake their fists at 511 00:18:15,590 --> 00:18:14,559 the heavens 512 00:18:17,110 --> 00:18:15,600 if they were telling me that that's 513 00:18:18,150 --> 00:18:17,120 something that's worth spending my life 514 00:18:21,029 --> 00:18:18,160 doing 515 00:18:23,510 --> 00:18:21,039 so i want to spend my whole rest of what 516 00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:23,520 i have here on this earth pushing myself 517 00:18:28,390 --> 00:18:24,559 and 518 00:18:30,150 --> 00:18:28,400 as i'm able to do 519 00:18:33,110 --> 00:18:30,160 when i came to this book ufos for the 520 00:18:34,950 --> 00:18:33,120 21st century mind 521 00:18:38,549 --> 00:18:34,960 really the the thing about it is that 522 00:18:39,350 --> 00:18:38,559 there has not been in my own opinion 523 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:39,360 um 524 00:18:43,590 --> 00:18:41,760 an adequate overview of the whole topic 525 00:18:46,950 --> 00:18:43,600 i mean the whole messy incredible 526 00:18:49,190 --> 00:18:46,960 fabulous mysterious topic of ufos 527 00:18:51,510 --> 00:18:49,200 and i'm not pretending that i have 528 00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:51,520 covered every single thing in these 500 529 00:18:56,789 --> 00:18:54,080 pages but i tried i tried to cover the 530 00:18:58,630 --> 00:18:56,799 things that are relevant to a per to a 531 00:19:00,310 --> 00:18:58,640 thinking person today 532 00:19:02,230 --> 00:19:00,320 in the 21st century 533 00:19:04,070 --> 00:19:02,240 when you look at some of the older uh 534 00:19:07,110 --> 00:19:04,080 books about this subject i mean from the 535 00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:07,120 1980s and 70s and beyond 536 00:19:12,470 --> 00:19:09,679 they're often very good but uh they just 537 00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:12,480 read old they just you know it's like 538 00:19:16,549 --> 00:19:14,400 looking at sightings well how large was 539 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:16,559 the object when you hold your arm at 540 00:19:19,510 --> 00:19:18,240 arm's length and is it the size of a 541 00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,520 nickel 542 00:19:23,110 --> 00:19:21,919 um i think we're past a lot of that and 543 00:19:24,310 --> 00:19:23,120 it doesn't mean that we can't we 544 00:19:26,390 --> 00:19:24,320 shouldn't be critically minded with 545 00:19:28,230 --> 00:19:26,400 sightings today but for me i wanted to 546 00:19:30,150 --> 00:19:28,240 do as comprehensive a view of this topic 547 00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:30,160 as i could so what what does that mean 548 00:19:33,750 --> 00:19:31,280 that means we have to understand the 549 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:33,760 history from ancient aliens or ancient 550 00:19:37,270 --> 00:19:35,760 ufos up till today and i did provide 551 00:19:39,990 --> 00:19:37,280 that so there's several chapters that 552 00:19:42,230 --> 00:19:40,000 just give of in my estimation 553 00:19:43,270 --> 00:19:42,240 how best to understand the history of 554 00:19:45,750 --> 00:19:43,280 the 555 00:19:47,430 --> 00:19:45,760 most compelling sightings 556 00:19:50,230 --> 00:19:47,440 and what we make of them but there's 557 00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:50,240 much more there's politics there's a 558 00:19:52,950 --> 00:19:51,520 couple of chapters dealing with that 559 00:19:55,350 --> 00:19:52,960 including what i would call the deep 560 00:19:56,870 --> 00:19:55,360 politics the black budget world what 561 00:19:59,430 --> 00:19:56,880 i've sometimes called the breakaway 562 00:20:01,270 --> 00:19:59,440 civilization how is this financed how 563 00:20:03,669 --> 00:20:01,280 does the whole thing run and 564 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:03,679 i continue to push myself and to get 565 00:20:07,110 --> 00:20:05,760 as many new insights into this topic as 566 00:20:08,870 --> 00:20:07,120 i can i've been talking about this for a 567 00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:08,880 few years but there's more than that to 568 00:20:12,950 --> 00:20:10,559 the ufo topic 569 00:20:15,990 --> 00:20:12,960 there's you know for people of the 21st 570 00:20:17,830 --> 00:20:16,000 century how for any armchair researcher 571 00:20:19,830 --> 00:20:17,840 any of us sitting out here tonight how 572 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:19,840 not to get hosed by the next hoax that 573 00:20:24,150 --> 00:20:22,320 comes down road from youtube or the next 574 00:20:26,710 --> 00:20:24,160 facebook room and that's in front of you 575 00:20:29,510 --> 00:20:26,720 so i talk a lot about critical thinking 576 00:20:31,029 --> 00:20:29,520 in this field there's a lot that i've 577 00:20:33,270 --> 00:20:31,039 talked about relating to the nature of 578 00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:33,280 contact or alleged contact or parent 579 00:20:36,789 --> 00:20:34,480 contact 580 00:20:38,549 --> 00:20:36,799 and uh leading to speculation on who and 581 00:20:40,470 --> 00:20:38,559 what we're dealing with what what are 582 00:20:42,549 --> 00:20:40,480 these what is this phenomenon what is 583 00:20:44,310 --> 00:20:42,559 the intelligence behind it 584 00:20:46,149 --> 00:20:44,320 the favorite chapter i think of my whole 585 00:20:47,830 --> 00:20:46,159 of this book that i wrote is uh not a 586 00:20:50,230 --> 00:20:47,840 historical chapter it's the chapter on 587 00:20:51,750 --> 00:20:50,240 science i call it weird science i mean 588 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:51,760 think about this 589 00:20:59,029 --> 00:20:57,830 touches upon so many profound scientific 590 00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:59,039 questions 591 00:21:02,630 --> 00:21:00,720 from something as simple as propulsion 592 00:21:04,470 --> 00:21:02,640 like how do these objects do what they 593 00:21:06,070 --> 00:21:04,480 do how does an object just 594 00:21:08,789 --> 00:21:06,080 sit there motionlessly and then 595 00:21:11,270 --> 00:21:08,799 instantly accelerate or zigzag that 596 00:21:13,350 --> 00:21:11,280 alone that's a mind blower that alone is 597 00:21:16,070 --> 00:21:13,360 a revolutionary scientific question for 598 00:21:17,029 --> 00:21:16,080 us to ask but then it gets crazy or 599 00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:17,039 still 600 00:21:20,870 --> 00:21:18,720 you've got 601 00:21:23,190 --> 00:21:20,880 uh energy what is the source of energy 602 00:21:25,110 --> 00:21:23,200 that they use you've got is interstellar 603 00:21:27,110 --> 00:21:25,120 flight questions like is it possible to 604 00:21:29,590 --> 00:21:27,120 travel through space well there's 605 00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:29,600 contemporary science that addresses 606 00:21:32,549 --> 00:21:30,799 these and i try to deal with it but it 607 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:32,559 gets stranger still 608 00:21:36,549 --> 00:21:34,080 what about dimensions we talk about 609 00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:36,559 dimensions and ufology 610 00:21:40,549 --> 00:21:38,640 is this a valid thing to discuss and i i 611 00:21:43,190 --> 00:21:40,559 try to address this through string 612 00:21:45,190 --> 00:21:43,200 theory through consciousness itself 613 00:21:47,029 --> 00:21:45,200 which i think is the ultimate scientific 614 00:21:48,950 --> 00:21:47,039 question of the 21st century to deal 615 00:21:51,909 --> 00:21:48,960 with when we talk about this phenomenon 616 00:21:56,310 --> 00:21:53,750 contact that so many people have 617 00:21:59,110 --> 00:21:56,320 discussed described that seems to be 618 00:22:00,630 --> 00:21:59,120 telepathic with these other entities 619 00:22:02,470 --> 00:22:00,640 what is this all about what does this 620 00:22:04,950 --> 00:22:02,480 say about what we are 621 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:04,960 our nature is as human beings that we're 622 00:22:08,789 --> 00:22:07,840 able to do this about them that they do 623 00:22:10,789 --> 00:22:08,799 this 624 00:22:13,750 --> 00:22:10,799 to us i mean there's account after 625 00:22:15,669 --> 00:22:13,760 account not simply during um abductions 626 00:22:17,510 --> 00:22:15,679 where people will constantly talk about 627 00:22:18,630 --> 00:22:17,520 telepathic connection but 628 00:22:20,789 --> 00:22:18,640 i have a couple of stories i've 629 00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:20,799 collected one woman wakes up at two in 630 00:22:24,549 --> 00:22:22,320 the morning in her bedroom sits up in 631 00:22:25,909 --> 00:22:24,559 her bed looks out her bedroom window 632 00:22:28,710 --> 00:22:25,919 is compelled to look out there and she 633 00:22:30,470 --> 00:22:28,720 sees an orange glowing orb in her yard 634 00:22:31,830 --> 00:22:30,480 so what what is that there's a 635 00:22:33,990 --> 00:22:31,840 connection that these have with our mind 636 00:22:35,430 --> 00:22:34,000 so consciousness is very important and 637 00:22:37,190 --> 00:22:35,440 then i just tried ending the book by 638 00:22:39,029 --> 00:22:37,200 looking at the future with a theme that 639 00:22:40,950 --> 00:22:39,039 i did discuss in the previous book that 640 00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:40,960 is a.d after disclosure 641 00:22:45,190 --> 00:22:43,440 but i i even update my thoughts for this 642 00:22:47,029 --> 00:22:45,200 so um 643 00:22:49,510 --> 00:22:47,039 what are we moving into what is the 644 00:22:50,230 --> 00:22:49,520 nature of how will this secret really 645 00:22:53,110 --> 00:22:50,240 end 646 00:22:55,909 --> 00:22:53,120 and what then and so these are to me 647 00:22:57,669 --> 00:22:55,919 when i think of the topic of ufos 648 00:22:59,350 --> 00:22:57,679 i think this is what's really relevant 649 00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:59,360 about it and i think of this book as 650 00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:01,200 like a 500 page love letter to the 651 00:23:06,549 --> 00:23:03,760 subject of ufos you touched upon 652 00:23:08,950 --> 00:23:06,559 something earlier uh which uh you 653 00:23:12,470 --> 00:23:08,960 started to talk about politics 654 00:23:14,950 --> 00:23:12,480 and how do you deal with um you know the 655 00:23:16,789 --> 00:23:14,960 topic of disclosure in washington dc do 656 00:23:21,510 --> 00:23:16,799 you have to 657 00:23:23,270 --> 00:23:21,520 you get at this information and 658 00:23:25,909 --> 00:23:23,280 uh when you're dealing with washington 659 00:23:28,230 --> 00:23:25,919 directly because you have been 660 00:23:31,510 --> 00:23:28,240 well i have been i i was in washington 661 00:23:34,390 --> 00:23:31,520 dc um less almost a year ago for what 662 00:23:35,430 --> 00:23:34,400 was called the citizens hearing exactly 663 00:23:38,950 --> 00:23:35,440 but 664 00:23:40,789 --> 00:23:38,960 the folks in dc the power players in dc 665 00:23:42,310 --> 00:23:40,799 they they're not really 666 00:23:43,590 --> 00:23:42,320 you know coming to me on moss i will 667 00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:43,600 just say that i mean there are people 668 00:23:49,110 --> 00:23:46,559 who quietly will talk to me for sure 669 00:23:53,270 --> 00:23:49,120 but in the uh in the citizen hearing in 670 00:23:55,190 --> 00:23:53,280 in last april into may of 2013 671 00:23:57,990 --> 00:23:55,200 um my goal 672 00:23:59,669 --> 00:23:58,000 was simply to address this topic as 673 00:24:01,590 --> 00:23:59,679 professionally as i could i actually i 674 00:24:03,270 --> 00:24:01,600 think i did six

00:24:27,669 --> 00:24:25,679 experiences to talk about this all week 687 00:24:29,909 --> 00:24:27,679 long a lot of it's on youtube and it was 688 00:24:31,510 --> 00:24:29,919 an incredible uh

actually uh 695 00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:46,080 you know with steven bassett if you know 696 00:24:50,870 --> 00:24:47,840 him at all uh every time i talk to 697 00:24:51,909 --> 00:24:50,880 stephen this is how it starts off 698 00:24:54,070 --> 00:24:51,919 richard 699 00:24:55,430 --> 00:24:54,080 i really need you to and then fill in 700 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,440 the blanket that's that's every single 701 00:24:59,510 --> 00:24:57,120 conversation i was even that's how it 702 00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:59,520 starts so uh with this one it was 703 00:25:02,549 --> 00:25:00,559 richard 704 00:25:05,110 --> 00:25:02,559 i'm going to need you to do a few extra 705 00:25:07,269 --> 00:25:05,120 uh presentations because you know 706 00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:07,279 all of these openings so i did six 707 00:25:11,990 --> 00:25:09,919 and my my plan was 708 00:25:12,789 --> 00:25:12,000 i would i did the first testimony of the 709 00:25:15,269 --> 00:25:12,799 week 710 00:25:17,110 --> 00:25:15,279 and then i did nearly the last 711 00:25:18,549 --> 00:25:17,120 and my goal independent of any of the 712 00:25:20,070 --> 00:25:18,559 other presenters was i was going to walk 713 00:25:21,830 --> 00:25:20,080 these members of congress through i was 714 00:25:23,750 --> 00:25:21,840 going to take them by the hand 715 00:25:26,149 --> 00:25:23,760 and i was going to take them 716 00:25:28,390 --> 00:25:26,159 step one and then step two and then step 717 00:25:30,710 --> 00:25:28,400 three and right on to step six 718 00:25:33,190 --> 00:25:30,720 so um the first lecture the first 719 00:25:35,029 --> 00:25:33,200 testimony that i gave was basically a 720 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:35,039 kind of a kindergarten first grade 721 00:25:39,430 --> 00:25:37,360 overview of why this topic matters from 722 00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:39,440 a national security point of view 723 00:25:42,630 --> 00:25:41,360 by the time we got to the final week in 724 00:25:44,310 --> 00:25:42,640 that video that someone said the 725 00:25:46,710 --> 00:25:44,320 greatest speech 726 00:25:48,710 --> 00:25:46,720 which i i will say though i wanted to be 727 00:25:51,590 --> 00:25:48,720 my best speech of the week 728 00:25:53,830 --> 00:25:51,600 and it was my analysis of uh i'm trying 729 00:25:55,430 --> 00:25:53,840 to remember what i said there i um it's 730 00:25:58,149 --> 00:25:55,440 been a little while since i've looked at 731 00:25:59,669 --> 00:25:58,159 it but an analysis of 732 00:26:01,269 --> 00:25:59,679 of the secrecy 733 00:26:02,950 --> 00:26:01,279 the inevitability of the end of that 734 00:26:04,230 --> 00:26:02,960 secrecy why it's going to be so 735 00:26:05,590 --> 00:26:04,240 difficult but why it's going to be so 736 00:26:07,510 --> 00:26:05,600 necessary 737 00:26:09,669 --> 00:26:07,520 and i do think that that had an impact 738 00:26:11,669 --> 00:26:09,679 on those members of congress and i think 739 00:26:13,830 --> 00:26:11,679 not that any of us were expecting that 740 00:26:15,909 --> 00:26:13,840 those hearings were going to 741 00:26:17,190 --> 00:26:15,919 get president obama to say okay you got 742 00:26:18,070 --> 00:26:17,200 us we're going to give up the secret 743 00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:18,080 exactly 744 00:26:22,390 --> 00:26:20,799 i think some there were some silly 745 00:26:23,830 --> 00:26:22,400 comments leading up to it where people 746 00:26:27,430 --> 00:26:23,840 were thinking oh you believe obama's 747 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:30,789 but we have a larger uh larger game here 748 00:26:35,430 --> 00:26:31,919 and 749 00:26:36,710 --> 00:26:35,440 we're looking at posterity we're looking 750 00:26:37,990 --> 00:26:36,720 at 751 00:26:39,909 --> 00:26:38,000 younger people 752 00:26:41,190 --> 00:26:39,919 particularly those who are living on 753 00:26:42,630 --> 00:26:41,200 youtube and we're going to see this and 754 00:26:44,390 --> 00:26:42,640 they're going to see 755 00:26:45,990 --> 00:26:44,400 well-dressed intelligent sounding 756 00:26:47,909 --> 00:26:46,000 statements 757 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:47,919 in the national press club to former 758 00:26:51,269 --> 00:26:49,200 members of congress talking about the 759 00:26:53,269 --> 00:26:51,279 gravity and seriousness of this 760 00:26:55,190 --> 00:26:53,279 and i think this is like uh one of those 761 00:26:57,029 --> 00:26:55,200 events where you you know the ripples 762 00:26:59,510 --> 00:26:57,039 will just continue to spread for a long 763 00:27:01,190 --> 00:26:59,520 time i think that the um the effects of 764 00:27:03,110 --> 00:27:01,200 the citizen hearings are going to be 765 00:27:04,710 --> 00:27:03,120 significant for a while there's a couple 766 00:27:07,269 --> 00:27:04,720 of different ways you can approach 767 00:27:08,710 --> 00:27:07,279 washington dc and 768 00:27:11,510 --> 00:27:08,720 you know is 769 00:27:14,549 --> 00:27:11,520 you know strong arming and and trying to 770 00:27:16,470 --> 00:27:14,559 force the issue is that 771 00:27:17,909 --> 00:27:16,480 do you expect washington to respond to 772 00:27:20,070 --> 00:27:17,919 that or do you 773 00:27:22,390 --> 00:27:20,080 try to do handholding and maybe ask for 774 00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:22,400 help well traditionally what you find is 775 00:27:25,190 --> 00:27:23,600 that people have thought let's go 776 00:27:27,430 --> 00:27:25,200 quietly let's go to the back channels 777 00:27:28,870 --> 00:27:27,440 talk to people um you know who are in 778 00:27:30,630 --> 00:27:28,880 charge of committees and so forth and 779 00:27:33,110 --> 00:27:30,640 make it happen that way 780 00:27:35,830 --> 00:27:33,120 that hasn't done squat right in terms of 781 00:27:36,950 --> 00:27:35,840 opening this up personally look i my 782 00:27:39,669 --> 00:27:36,960 opinion 783 00:27:40,630 --> 00:27:39,679 i think we're in an era right now where 784 00:27:43,909 --> 00:27:40,640 things 785 00:27:45,350 --> 00:27:43,919 have gotten really bad they have gotten 786 00:27:46,789 --> 00:27:45,360 really bad 787 00:27:48,950 --> 00:27:46,799 and um 788 00:27:50,870 --> 00:27:48,960 i'm of the opinion that in many ways 789 00:27:53,750 --> 00:27:50,880 this the political system that we have 790 00:27:56,070 --> 00:27:53,760 is just so irredeemably corrupt it's 791 00:27:57,269 --> 00:27:56,080 it's hopelessly corrupt 792 00:27:58,310 --> 00:27:57,279 there's one and only one thing that's 793 00:28:00,870 --> 00:27:58,320 going to change and it's going to have 794 00:28:03,190 --> 00:28:00,880 to be mass citizen action not just from 795 00:28:05,350 --> 00:28:03,200 ufo researchers we're talking about 796 00:28:07,750 --> 00:28:05,360 millions and millions of people 797 00:28:09,669 --> 00:28:07,760 um something that will be considered uh 798 00:28:11,430 --> 00:28:09,679 revolutionary like literally in a 799 00:28:12,549 --> 00:28:11,440 revolutionary sense by the powers that 800 00:28:14,149 --> 00:28:12,559 be 801 00:28:15,990 --> 00:28:14,159 and um i think that's the only way 802 00:28:16,870 --> 00:28:16,000 things are really going to change is by 803 00:28:21,590 --> 00:28:16,880 a 804 00:28:23,430 --> 00:28:21,600 people 805 00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:23,440 whether the ufo subject will get into 806 00:28:27,669 --> 00:28:25,200 that mix or not is a different issue i 807 00:28:29,269 --> 00:28:27,679 think at some point it's going to happen 808 00:28:30,389 --> 00:28:29,279 but really that's the only way genuine 809 00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:30,399 change i think is going to happen you 810 00:28:35,430 --> 00:28:32,080 have to fight for it one of the points 811 00:28:37,029 --> 00:28:35,440 that i i drive home on my show and i do 812 00:28:39,750 --> 00:28:37,039 this a lot but 813 00:28:41,830 --> 00:28:39,760 i think and i'm probably speaking for 814 00:28:42,789 --> 00:28:41,840 everybody here too as well 815 00:28:43,669 --> 00:28:42,799 uh 816 00:28:44,470 --> 00:28:43,679 that 817 00:28:48,149 --> 00:28:44,480 we 818 00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:48,159 as citizens are much more prepared than 819 00:28:53,909 --> 00:28:49,279 what 820 00:28:55,269 --> 00:28:53,919 thinks 821 00:28:57,029 --> 00:28:55,279 in that 822 00:29:00,070 --> 00:28:57,039 here we have hollywood you know we're 823 00:29:01,269 --> 00:29:00,080 here in studio city burbank and uh 824 00:29:04,310 --> 00:29:01,279 hollywood 825 00:29:05,669 --> 00:29:04,320 cranks out some type of extraterrestrial 826 00:29:08,950 --> 00:29:05,679 et 827 00:29:11,830 --> 00:29:08,960 uh ufo cowboys and aliens type movie 828 00:29:13,510 --> 00:29:11,840 every week and that's what we pay for 829 00:29:17,029 --> 00:29:13,520 that's what we you know 830 00:29:18,310 --> 00:29:17,039 it's not a shocking subject anymore to 831 00:29:21,190 --> 00:29:18,320 us i think 832 00:29:22,310 --> 00:29:21,200 i and and i i truly want your answer on 833 00:29:24,830 --> 00:29:22,320 this i've been wanting to ask this 834 00:29:28,710 --> 00:29:24,840 question for a long time to you but 835 00:29:31,430 --> 00:29:28,720 um if they don't disclose and admit i 836 00:29:35,190 --> 00:29:31,440 think that is actually worse 837 00:29:36,950 --> 00:29:35,200 the silence is is the lie 838 00:29:38,470 --> 00:29:36,960 yeah the reason that it's worse is 839 00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:38,480 because it means that our whole 840 00:29:42,149 --> 00:29:40,799 political system the system that we grew 841 00:29:43,510 --> 00:29:42,159 up thinking we were supposed to have one 842 00:29:45,110 --> 00:29:43,520 of an open kind of 843 00:29:47,190 --> 00:29:45,120 uh representative government it means 844 00:29:49,350 --> 00:29:47,200 that it's broken so that's a bad thing 845 00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:49,360 and and i mean that goes against the 846 00:29:54,149 --> 00:29:52,480 fiber probably every person in this room 847 00:29:56,430 --> 00:29:54,159 and everyone listening this is we 848 00:29:58,470 --> 00:29:56,440 believe we all believe in true 849 00:29:59,830 --> 00:29:58,480 representative government so when the 850 00:30:01,350 --> 00:29:59,840 government is not responding to 851 00:30:03,190 --> 00:30:01,360 something that's so obvious so in your 852 00:30:04,710 --> 00:30:03,200 face that it's here that means that that 853 00:30:06,149 --> 00:30:04,720 system's broken so that's upsetting 854 00:30:08,389 --> 00:30:06,159 that's wrong 855 00:30:11,029 --> 00:30:08,399 in terms of why the secret 856 00:30:13,029 --> 00:30:11,039 is here like what you were just saying 857 00:30:14,870 --> 00:30:13,039 people are more ready than than the 858 00:30:16,870 --> 00:30:14,880 powers that be think 859 00:30:18,149 --> 00:30:16,880 we can discuss it i i sometimes think 860 00:30:19,430 --> 00:30:18,159 that you're right and sometimes i don't 861 00:30:20,630 --> 00:30:19,440 agree with that 862 00:30:22,149 --> 00:30:20,640 but 863 00:30:23,590 --> 00:30:22,159 i i think that the reason for the 864 00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:23,600 secrecy 865 00:30:26,950 --> 00:30:25,840 is uh is far beyond that so it's not 866 00:30:29,110 --> 00:30:26,960 like the government's protecting us 867 00:30:30,710 --> 00:30:29,120 because i think we can't handle it right 868 00:30:32,710 --> 00:30:30,720 i don't think i really care that's not 869 00:30:34,870 --> 00:30:32,720 the reason the reason that the secret is 870 00:30:36,549 --> 00:30:34,880 there is because this is a subject that 871 00:30:38,149 --> 00:30:36,559 will turn our whole society and our 872 00:30:39,510 --> 00:30:38,159 infrastructure upside down so for 873 00:30:41,190 --> 00:30:39,520 example 874 00:30:43,350 --> 00:30:41,200 i like to say let's rewind the clock go 875 00:30:44,950 --> 00:30:43,360 back to 1947. and you're the president 876 00:30:46,630 --> 00:30:44,960 of the united states and i'm and i've 877 00:30:48,470 --> 00:30:46,640 just come up to you i'm your top general 878 00:30:50,950 --> 00:30:48,480 maybe your top scientist and i've said 879 00:30:52,470 --> 00:30:50,960 sir we have recovered technology 880 00:30:53,830 --> 00:30:52,480 that's not that doesn't appear to be 881 00:30:55,909 --> 00:30:53,840 from this civilization and that's a 882 00:30:56,710 --> 00:30:55,919 heavy-duty thing to take okay what'd you 883 00:30:57,590 --> 00:30:56,720 find 884 00:30:59,830 --> 00:30:57,600 so 885 00:31:01,830 --> 00:30:59,840 you have a choice you you might think 886 00:31:03,909 --> 00:31:01,840 let's should we tell the world this is 887 00:31:05,909 --> 00:31:03,919 important and that might be one of your 888 00:31:08,230 --> 00:31:05,919 instincts but we would say your advisor 889 00:31:09,110 --> 00:31:08,240 to say uh not a good idea because if you 890 00:31:11,029 --> 00:31:09,120 tell the world you've got this 891 00:31:12,870 --> 00:31:11,039 technology it's going to be very hard 892 00:31:14,950 --> 00:31:12,880 not to share it and you may not want to 893 00:31:16,630 --> 00:31:14,960 share it you've got this enemy that 894 00:31:18,789 --> 00:31:16,640 you've you know created in your mind or 895 00:31:20,230 --> 00:31:18,799 in reality the russians the soviets 896 00:31:21,909 --> 00:31:20,240 they were trying actively to get the 897 00:31:23,909 --> 00:31:21,919 atomic bomb and america didn't want to 898 00:31:25,750 --> 00:31:23,919 share that technology right you're not 899 00:31:27,909 --> 00:31:25,760 going to want to share something like et 900 00:31:29,430 --> 00:31:27,919 technology or whatever this is so you 901 00:31:31,110 --> 00:31:29,440 you have to have the secrecy in your 902 00:31:32,870 --> 00:31:31,120 mind if you're the president i think 903 00:31:35,029 --> 00:31:32,880 what you would do is you'd say let's get 904 00:31:37,350 --> 00:31:35,039 a handle on this let's create our team 905 00:31:39,350 --> 00:31:37,360 let's find out who's got what job and 906 00:31:41,590 --> 00:31:39,360 one of those jobs will be to study this 907 00:31:43,750 --> 00:31:41,600 technology find out what we can do 908 00:31:45,669 --> 00:31:43,760 he may not have or the decision makers 909 00:31:47,590 --> 00:31:45,679 may not have planned to do this secret 910 00:31:50,630 --> 00:31:47,600 forever but secrets have a way of 911 00:31:52,630 --> 00:31:50,640 containing continuing on and on and 912 00:31:54,470 --> 00:31:52,640 especially if they become profitable 913 00:31:56,470 --> 00:31:54,480 which this secret has done 914 00:31:59,269 --> 00:31:56,480 the ufo phenomenon 915 00:32:00,630 --> 00:31:59,279 has resulted in in partly in the 916 00:32:02,710 --> 00:32:00,640 creation of what we would call our black 917 00:32:04,070 --> 00:32:02,720 budget culture a lot of students need to 918 00:32:05,909 --> 00:32:04,080 understand 919 00:32:08,630 --> 00:32:05,919 we have a runaway black budget system 920 00:32:11,190 --> 00:32:08,640 but the ufo subject is part of that 921 00:32:13,590 --> 00:32:11,200 but what happens with the technology 922 00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:13,600 is um it it has to be kept secret from 923 00:32:18,070 --> 00:32:16,320 their point of view because 924 00:32:19,750 --> 00:32:18,080 i mean for one reason right away 925 00:32:22,470 --> 00:32:19,760 implicit in the 926 00:32:23,909 --> 00:32:22,480 solution to the science of ufos is the 927 00:32:25,350 --> 00:32:23,919 obvious fact that these things are not 928 00:32:26,710 --> 00:32:25,360 using gasoline 929 00:32:28,789 --> 00:32:26,720 to get around 930 00:32:30,389 --> 00:32:28,799 whatever they're doing whether it's some 931 00:32:32,950 --> 00:32:30,399 form of fusion whether it's something 932 00:32:34,789 --> 00:32:32,960 better zero point energy or whatever it 933 00:32:36,389 --> 00:32:34,799 almost doesn't matter 934 00:32:39,029 --> 00:32:36,399 the end the fact is that it would 935 00:32:40,710 --> 00:32:39,039 replace petroleum as the world's primary 936 00:32:44,710 --> 00:32:40,720 source of uh 937 00:32:46,070 --> 00:32:44,720 of energy and in the in 1947 and today 938 00:32:48,549 --> 00:32:46,080 that's 939 00:32:49,990 --> 00:32:48,559 probably it hasn't changed right right 940 00:32:51,269 --> 00:32:50,000 and um and those are the guys who run 941 00:32:53,269 --> 00:32:51,279 the show anyway they've run american 942 00:32:55,029 --> 00:32:53,279 foreign policy since forever 943 00:32:56,310 --> 00:32:55,039 through the council on foreign relations 944 00:32:58,389 --> 00:32:56,320 so no they're not going to let that 945 00:33:00,070 --> 00:32:58,399 happen just and and then the other thing 946 00:33:01,590 --> 00:33:00,080 is when you start 947 00:33:03,509 --> 00:33:01,600 if you're one of the people at the top 948 00:33:04,950 --> 00:33:03,519 and you start allowing this massive 949 00:33:06,789 --> 00:33:04,960 change 950 00:33:08,310 --> 00:33:06,799 you are very likely to lose control over 951 00:33:10,230 --> 00:33:08,320 where that change goes how far how much 952 00:33:11,750 --> 00:33:10,240 freedom do you want people to have maybe 953 00:33:13,990 --> 00:33:11,760 not that much in their opinion well 954 00:33:16,470 --> 00:33:14,000 that's a good point and 955 00:33:18,950 --> 00:33:16,480 do you think 956 00:33:21,430 --> 00:33:18,960 if they would have uh had a little a 957 00:33:23,509 --> 00:33:21,440 little more vision back then about the 958 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:23,519 how much petroleum we actually had 959 00:33:28,710 --> 00:33:26,480 because back then oil was limitless was 960 00:33:31,669 --> 00:33:28,720 limitless is up to your neck everywhere 961 00:33:34,149 --> 00:33:31,679 and cheap by the way very very cheap 962 00:33:36,470 --> 00:33:34,159 but here we are 50 years later we know 963 00:33:38,549 --> 00:33:36,480 now it's not going to last forever do 964 00:33:40,710 --> 00:33:38,559 you think that they 965 00:33:41,990 --> 00:33:40,720 handled it completely wrong that maybe 966 00:33:44,310 --> 00:33:42,000 they should have developed that 967 00:33:46,470 --> 00:33:44,320 technology and maybe 968 00:33:48,149 --> 00:33:46,480 gotten it out there and not worried 969 00:33:49,830 --> 00:33:48,159 about money because that's what it all 970 00:33:52,230 --> 00:33:49,840 you know that that was what the 971 00:33:53,669 --> 00:33:52,240 decisions were based on then because the 972 00:33:55,830 --> 00:33:53,679 profits were endless and they didn't 973 00:33:56,950 --> 00:33:55,840 want to stop them right well probably if 974 00:33:58,870 --> 00:33:56,960 they were thinking in the public 975 00:34:00,149 --> 00:33:58,880 interest i i think that's probably what 976 00:34:01,669 --> 00:34:00,159 they would have done 977 00:34:02,549 --> 00:34:01,679 but they did have other issues to worry 978 00:34:05,990 --> 00:34:02,559 about 979 00:34:08,470 --> 00:34:06,000 again let's say it's 1947 um how do you 980 00:34:10,069 --> 00:34:08,480 really tell the world about this 981 00:34:12,310 --> 00:34:10,079 if you yourself don't have all the 982 00:34:13,430 --> 00:34:12,320 answers do you know if these entities 983 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:13,440 are hostile do you know if they're 984 00:34:16,550 --> 00:34:14,480 friendly 985 00:34:18,950 --> 00:34:16,560 if you if you put yourself out there and 986 00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:18,960 you start talking about this you as the 987 00:34:22,950 --> 00:34:20,800 president are going to have a lot of 988 00:34:25,669 --> 00:34:22,960 people who are going to want answers and 989 00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:25,679 you may not have good answers it's a 990 00:34:29,669 --> 00:34:27,839 nightmare from a political point of view 991 00:34:31,750 --> 00:34:29,679 absolute nightmare 992 00:34:33,510 --> 00:34:31,760 so i think that uh 993 00:34:35,109 --> 00:34:33,520 again that's another incentive for 994 00:34:38,310 --> 00:34:35,119 saying we need to 995 00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:38,320 think about this let's take it slow 996 00:34:42,069 --> 00:34:40,000 and we'll revisit it you know with a 997 00:34:43,270 --> 00:34:42,079 certain period of time i had a gentleman 998 00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:43,280 that i had a 999 00:34:46,629 --> 00:34:45,359 a very detailed discussion with he was a 1000 00:34:48,710 --> 00:34:46,639 high level 1001 00:34:50,389 --> 00:34:48,720 knowing uh at least one possibly a 1002 00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:50,399 couple of u.s presidents and he's a 1003 00:34:55,109 --> 00:34:52,560 scientist and he 1004 00:34:56,790 --> 00:34:55,119 i like to say he's in with the in-crowd 1005 00:34:58,710 --> 00:34:56,800 and one thing that he said to me is that 1006 00:35:01,270 --> 00:34:58,720 it was his knowledge that every few 1007 00:35:03,589 --> 00:35:01,280 years every five or so years this 1008 00:35:06,069 --> 00:35:03,599 subject comes up in discussion at high 1009 00:35:08,790 --> 00:35:06,079 levels in terms of 1010 00:35:11,030 --> 00:35:08,800 do we just do we disclose 1011 00:35:12,710 --> 00:35:11,040 so it is a subject that comes up and 1012 00:35:14,230 --> 00:35:12,720 and he said to me he was on a 1013 00:35:16,470 --> 00:35:14,240 subcommittee 1014 00:35:17,910 --> 00:35:16,480 to study one factor of the problems of 1015 00:35:19,990 --> 00:35:17,920 disclosure even though he was a 1016 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:20,000 scientist he studied uh he was on the 1017 00:35:24,950 --> 00:35:22,800 legal team he said where they studied 1018 00:35:26,310 --> 00:35:24,960 legal ramifications of disclosing the 1019 00:35:28,390 --> 00:35:26,320 reality of ufos and one thing they 1020 00:35:30,550 --> 00:35:28,400 realized is that lawsuits would go 1021 00:35:32,470 --> 00:35:30,560 would be really significant not just uh 1022 00:35:35,030 --> 00:35:32,480 class-action citizens right right but 1023 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:35,040 defense contractor suits if i have a 1024 00:35:38,230 --> 00:35:37,040 defense company and i have access to 1025 00:35:40,550 --> 00:35:38,240 this technology you're one of my 1026 00:35:42,550 --> 00:35:40,560 competitors and you don't right you you 1027 00:35:45,430 --> 00:35:42,560 have legal grievance there 1028 00:35:47,510 --> 00:35:45,440 simple mundane prosaic issues that most 1029 00:35:49,270 --> 00:35:47,520 of us don't really think about 1030 00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:49,280 but um 1031 00:35:54,470 --> 00:35:52,160 all of these factor into the reasons 1032 00:35:55,349 --> 00:35:54,480 for continuing the secret 1033 00:35:56,950 --> 00:35:55,359 um 1034 00:35:59,109 --> 00:35:56,960 i almost lost my train of thought here 1035 00:36:01,190 --> 00:35:59,119 we were talking about the origins of the 1036 00:36:04,550 --> 00:36:01,200 secrecy i believe and we were talking 1037 00:36:06,310 --> 00:36:04,560 about oil oil oil certainly is a big one 1038 00:36:07,910 --> 00:36:06,320 um 1039 00:36:10,150 --> 00:36:07,920 and 1040 00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:10,160 i think that the exegesis of the cold 1041 00:36:13,270 --> 00:36:12,079 war overruled everything in the minds of 1042 00:36:15,190 --> 00:36:13,280 these guys 1043 00:36:16,630 --> 00:36:15,200 they wanted to use this technology as a 1044 00:36:18,230 --> 00:36:16,640 as a chip 1045 00:36:19,750 --> 00:36:18,240 to give as much of an advantage as they 1046 00:36:20,790 --> 00:36:19,760 could 1047 00:36:21,750 --> 00:36:20,800 i think 1048 00:36:29,270 --> 00:36:21,760 that 1049 00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:29,280 clandestinely 1050 00:36:35,109 --> 00:36:31,520 segued into breakthroughs whether it's 1051 00:36:38,790 --> 00:36:35,119 improved integrated circuits or even um 1052 00:36:40,470 --> 00:36:38,800 you know the integrated circuit um 1053 00:36:42,710 --> 00:36:40,480 yeah and we're gonna we're we're gonna 1054 00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:42,720 touch upon that in in just a second and 1055 00:36:46,790 --> 00:36:43,839 by the way i worked for bell 1056 00:36:49,349 --> 00:36:46,800 laboratories myself for three years 1057 00:36:51,829 --> 00:36:49,359 and the pride that they have 1058 00:36:53,829 --> 00:36:51,839 with that there 1059 00:36:55,589 --> 00:36:53,839 you know and the more that i read and 1060 00:36:57,270 --> 00:36:55,599 know and learn 1061 00:36:59,589 --> 00:36:57,280 i was there man i worked for bell labs 1062 00:37:01,910 --> 00:36:59,599 for three years and i really scratch my 1063 00:37:03,829 --> 00:37:01,920 head now and i just i don't know there's 1064 00:37:05,750 --> 00:37:03,839 a side to me that says let's hope it's 1065 00:37:07,109 --> 00:37:05,760 not true then there's another side 1066 00:37:09,030 --> 00:37:07,119 you know 1067 00:37:10,790 --> 00:37:09,040 now i'm gonna indulge myself and 1068 00:37:12,710 --> 00:37:10,800 everybody here with a couple of uh 1069 00:37:15,109 --> 00:37:12,720 personal questions before we start to 1070 00:37:17,910 --> 00:37:15,119 dive into the book a little bit 1071 00:37:19,349 --> 00:37:17,920 does richard dolan know anything that we 1072 00:37:20,790 --> 00:37:19,359 don't 1073 00:37:22,390 --> 00:37:20,800 do you have something you're holding 1074 00:37:24,630 --> 00:37:22,400 back 1075 00:37:27,829 --> 00:37:25,430 uh 1076 00:37:30,790 --> 00:37:27,839 i've shared everything that i think is 1077 00:37:32,550 --> 00:37:30,800 actually significant don't be political 1078 00:37:34,550 --> 00:37:32,560 don't i'm trying to think i'm trying to 1079 00:37:36,870 --> 00:37:34,560 think 1080 00:37:40,790 --> 00:37:36,880 what what i do get are 1081 00:37:43,190 --> 00:37:40,800 private stories on a very regular basis 1082 00:37:44,630 --> 00:37:43,200 from uh people who are 1083 00:37:46,870 --> 00:37:44,640 often troubled by what they've gone 1084 00:37:48,470 --> 00:37:46,880 through what they've experienced 1085 00:37:50,230 --> 00:37:48,480 and many of them have shared some of 1086 00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:50,240 their stories with me and not all of 1087 00:37:55,430 --> 00:37:52,880 them i have i have um 1088 00:37:57,030 --> 00:37:55,440 necessarily shared explicitly but 1089 00:37:58,870 --> 00:37:57,040 i i can say that the ones that have 1090 00:38:01,190 --> 00:37:58,880 struck me the most 1091 00:38:02,150 --> 00:38:01,200 and in fact i did not include i did not 1092 00:38:03,589 --> 00:38:02,160 include 1093 00:38:06,630 --> 00:38:03,599 just because i didn't think i needed to 1094 00:38:08,390 --> 00:38:06,640 but maybe i should have 1095 00:38:09,829 --> 00:38:08,400 um well i talked i talked around this 1096 00:38:11,030 --> 00:38:09,839 sort of thing which is the traumatic 1097 00:38:12,630 --> 00:38:11,040 effect that people have when they have 1098 00:38:14,069 --> 00:38:12,640 these encounters 1099 00:38:15,349 --> 00:38:14,079 um that's become something very 1100 00:38:16,950 --> 00:38:15,359 important to me 1101 00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:16,960 not something i'm holding back but a 1102 00:38:21,990 --> 00:38:20,079 couple of stories i for example 1103 00:38:23,750 --> 00:38:22,000 one of my witnesses one of my people i 1104 00:38:26,630 --> 00:38:23,760 guess is a science writer a lady in her 1105 00:38:28,710 --> 00:38:26,640 60s very intelligent very very smart a 1106 00:38:31,510 --> 00:38:28,720 worldly individual 1107 00:38:33,349 --> 00:38:31,520 has published for major magazines over 1108 00:38:35,670 --> 00:38:33,359 the years 1109 00:38:37,510 --> 00:38:35,680 and uh came to me a couple of years ago 1110 00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:37,520 out of the blue said look i haven't 1111 00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:38,720 talked to anyone about this i've had 1112 00:38:43,109 --> 00:38:42,079 this sitting in my mind for 40 years 1113 00:38:44,550 --> 00:38:43,119 and i'm just going to tell you because i 1114 00:38:45,990 --> 00:38:44,560 respect what you do 1115 00:38:47,750 --> 00:38:46,000 so i did a long series of interviews 1116 00:38:49,510 --> 00:38:47,760 with interviews with her 1117 00:38:51,190 --> 00:38:49,520 when we first started was on the phone i 1118 00:38:52,870 --> 00:38:51,200 was recording it 1119 00:38:54,710 --> 00:38:52,880 she 1120 00:38:56,470 --> 00:38:54,720 within five minutes 1121 00:39:00,630 --> 00:38:56,480 of recounting 1122 00:39:03,190 --> 00:39:00,640 her experience from the late 1960s 1123 00:39:05,030 --> 00:39:03,200 began having her heart palpitate 1124 00:39:07,829 --> 00:39:05,040 and i could hear her 1125 00:39:09,510 --> 00:39:07,839 panting on the other side of the phone 1126 00:39:11,270 --> 00:39:09,520 her heart was racing she was getting 1127 00:39:13,510 --> 00:39:11,280 upset she was visibly upset but not 1128 00:39:16,150 --> 00:39:13,520 visibly audibly upset 1129 00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:16,160 and she said i have to hang up the phone 1130 00:39:19,589 --> 00:39:17,920 she hung up 10 minutes later she called 1131 00:39:21,270 --> 00:39:19,599 me back she said i'm sorry 1132 00:39:23,670 --> 00:39:21,280 let's do it again 1133 00:39:25,670 --> 00:39:23,680 and i think about for the next 10 1134 00:39:28,470 --> 00:39:25,680 minutes i had to 1135 00:39:29,990 --> 00:39:28,480 tell her slow down calm down calm down 1136 00:39:31,349 --> 00:39:30,000 as she recounted what did she recount 1137 00:39:32,950 --> 00:39:31,359 she was with a boyfriend they were 1138 00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:32,960 driving on a highway as they were 1139 00:39:37,349 --> 00:39:35,040 approaching the exit they turned off she 1140 00:39:38,550 --> 00:39:37,359 said this object descended that was when 1141 00:39:41,270 --> 00:39:38,560 she had her first 1142 00:39:42,630 --> 00:39:41,280 moment of panic on the phone 1143 00:39:44,310 --> 00:39:42,640 and um 1144 00:39:46,310 --> 00:39:44,320 they had missing time 1145 00:39:48,630 --> 00:39:46,320 she had a 1146 00:39:52,150 --> 00:39:48,640 a lifetime 1147 00:39:54,150 --> 00:39:52,160 or at least 20 years of very bizarre 1148 00:39:55,270 --> 00:39:54,160 experiences 1149 00:39:57,349 --> 00:39:55,280 not just 1150 00:39:58,950 --> 00:39:57,359 apparent abduction experiences but men 1151 00:40:00,710 --> 00:39:58,960 in black encounters 1152 00:40:02,710 --> 00:40:00,720 people would come to her door knowing 1153 00:40:06,630 --> 00:40:02,720 her in ways that no one's supposed to 1154 00:40:07,990 --> 00:40:06,640 know you right a sense of familiarity 1155 00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:08,000 and um 1156 00:40:13,430 --> 00:40:11,520 all this time she's someone who 1157 00:40:16,870 --> 00:40:13,440 was extremely intelligent and living 1158 00:40:18,710 --> 00:40:16,880 with this in total isolation 1159 00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:18,720 but another gentleman that else well i'm 1160 00:40:23,030 --> 00:40:20,560 going to jump in real quick 1161 00:40:24,630 --> 00:40:23,040 were you the first person that she sat 1162 00:40:26,870 --> 00:40:24,640 down and talked to about it so she was 1163 00:40:28,310 --> 00:40:26,880 holding it in this entire time 40 years 1164 00:40:30,710 --> 00:40:28,320 all this trauma is coming out all at 1165 00:40:31,910 --> 00:40:30,720 once and did you send her a therapist 1166 00:40:33,750 --> 00:40:31,920 bill 1167 00:40:35,430 --> 00:40:33,760 what because well if you know what i'm 1168 00:40:37,589 --> 00:40:35,440 saying and i'm not i'm being not being 1169 00:40:40,230 --> 00:40:37,599 tongue-in-cheek but they need 1170 00:40:42,470 --> 00:40:40,240 to speak to somebody and you were in the 1171 00:40:44,069 --> 00:40:42,480 way and you were that guy and and and 1172 00:40:45,990 --> 00:40:44,079 that's what you felt 1173 00:40:47,190 --> 00:40:46,000 now that's happened to me more and more 1174 00:40:49,349 --> 00:40:47,200 um 1175 00:40:50,310 --> 00:40:49,359 i don't i don't do hypnotic regression i 1176 00:40:52,550 --> 00:40:50,320 don't 1177 00:40:54,390 --> 00:40:52,560 try to pretend to uh unpack memories 1178 00:40:56,309 --> 00:40:54,400 that are they're hidden that way i'm not 1179 00:40:58,790 --> 00:40:56,319 saying that there aren't such memories i 1180 00:41:00,309 --> 00:40:58,800 just don't do that but what i i can do 1181 00:41:01,589 --> 00:41:00,319 pretty well at this point is listen 1182 00:41:03,190 --> 00:41:01,599 carefully and hopefully ask some good 1183 00:41:06,950 --> 00:41:03,200 questions and help people to remember 1184 00:41:09,030 --> 00:41:06,960 things but i can do that um 1185 00:41:10,790 --> 00:41:09,040 yeah i mean in telling these stories 1186 00:41:12,870 --> 00:41:10,800 this is one of the another important 1187 00:41:14,950 --> 00:41:12,880 fact of the ufo subject which is that 1188 00:41:16,790 --> 00:41:14,960 it's so widespread it affects people at 1189 00:41:19,270 --> 00:41:16,800 a very deep level 1190 00:41:20,550 --> 00:41:19,280 and think about how wrong it is in our 1191 00:41:22,870 --> 00:41:20,560 society 1192 00:41:25,109 --> 00:41:22,880 that this phenomenon exists as it does 1193 00:41:27,510 --> 00:41:25,119 and we are dealing with it basically for 1194 00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:27,520 the most part in an atomized isolated 1195 00:41:31,190 --> 00:41:29,680 way i mean there are groups like where 1196 00:41:33,589 --> 00:41:31,200 we're sitting here tonight where there 1197 00:41:35,349 --> 00:41:33,599 are people who who are able to talk to 1198 00:41:36,470 --> 00:41:35,359 each other but that's 1199 00:41:38,150 --> 00:41:36,480 you know compared with that there's 1200 00:41:39,670 --> 00:41:38,160 millions and billions of other people 1201 00:41:41,510 --> 00:41:39,680 out there and they're have these 1202 00:41:42,309 --> 00:41:41,520 encounters they live in a world where 1203 00:41:46,470 --> 00:41:42,319 their 1204 00:41:47,829 --> 00:41:46,480 and they feel like idiots if they talk 1205 00:41:49,030 --> 00:41:47,839 about it because people will make fun of 1206 00:41:50,150 --> 00:41:49,040 them or they don't have the stomach to 1207 00:41:51,990 --> 00:41:50,160 deal with it 1208 00:41:54,550 --> 00:41:52,000 so there's a real problem and it creates 1209 00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:54,560 stress it creates trauma in the mind 1210 00:41:57,349 --> 00:41:55,920 and that's not a good thing it's an 1211 00:41:59,109 --> 00:41:57,359 unhealthy thing 1212 00:42:01,270 --> 00:41:59,119 i've said this uh 1213 00:42:03,109 --> 00:42:01,280 before on the air but i'll say it now 1214 00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:03,119 because again 1215 00:42:07,430 --> 00:42:05,280 fear of repeating myself but 1216 00:42:09,430 --> 00:42:07,440 uh i've i've seen three things in my 1217 00:42:10,790 --> 00:42:09,440 life three things that 1218 00:42:11,910 --> 00:42:10,800 you know can't explain one i 1219 00:42:12,710 --> 00:42:11,920 photographed 1220 00:42:14,870 --> 00:42:12,720 but 1221 00:42:17,190 --> 00:42:14,880 in all three instances and especially 1222 00:42:18,790 --> 00:42:17,200 the first one i didn't talk to anybody 1223 00:42:20,390 --> 00:42:18,800 for probably 10 years 1224 00:42:22,790 --> 00:42:20,400 i didn't tell anybody i didn't want 1225 00:42:23,910 --> 00:42:22,800 anybody to look at me 1226 00:42:25,670 --> 00:42:23,920 strange 1227 00:42:28,069 --> 00:42:25,680 and one of the first people i talked to 1228 00:42:30,630 --> 00:42:28,079 about it was steve marillo when he was 1229 00:42:33,030 --> 00:42:30,640 on the show and between and this was 1230 00:42:35,270 --> 00:42:33,040 1995. now we're talking almost 20 years 1231 00:42:37,990 --> 00:42:35,280 ago and in 20 years i've probably 1232 00:42:40,870 --> 00:42:38,000 discussed it with five people how many 1233 00:42:44,069 --> 00:42:40,880 people here in the same situation right 1234 00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:44,079 and uh it's it's it's something that you 1235 00:42:49,030 --> 00:42:46,160 have to encourage and also 1236 00:42:50,710 --> 00:42:49,040 there is a certain trauma i had a travis 1237 00:42:51,750 --> 00:42:50,720 walton on the show a couple a couple of 1238 00:42:54,230 --> 00:42:51,760 months ago 1239 00:42:56,870 --> 00:42:54,240 and the one thing that travis said to me 1240 00:43:00,309 --> 00:42:56,880 uh before we did the interview 1241 00:43:01,349 --> 00:43:00,319 was that he can't take the trauma 1242 00:43:04,790 --> 00:43:01,359 anymore 1243 00:43:07,349 --> 00:43:04,800 he cannot discuss because he just lives 1244 00:43:09,829 --> 00:43:07,359 it again and it was a scary experience 1245 00:43:11,109 --> 00:43:09,839 for him and he just gets traumatized 1246 00:43:14,390 --> 00:43:11,119 talking about it 1247 00:43:15,190 --> 00:43:14,400 so for you know and i agreed with travis 1248 00:43:16,870 --> 00:43:15,200 uh 1249 00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:16,880 that we wouldn't discuss that on the 1250 00:43:20,710 --> 00:43:17,920 show 1251 00:43:22,950 --> 00:43:20,720 we would talk about whatever and and 1252 00:43:24,870 --> 00:43:22,960 he was so thankful 1253 00:43:26,550 --> 00:43:24,880 that we didn't have to discuss the 1254 00:43:29,190 --> 00:43:26,560 traumatic stuff because he said his 1255 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:29,200 heart gets racing and he just can't deal 1256 00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:31,440 with it i had a conversation with travis 1257 00:43:35,829 --> 00:43:33,280 walton about exactly that and one thing 1258 00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:35,839 he added is that on one occasion he 1259 00:43:40,870 --> 00:43:38,560 tried hypnotic regression to unpack what 1260 00:43:42,470 --> 00:43:40,880 what he had yeah he mentioned that right 1261 00:43:44,870 --> 00:43:42,480 and they had to stop that regression 1262 00:43:46,550 --> 00:43:44,880 because the uh there was a fear that he 1263 00:43:49,349 --> 00:43:46,560 literally didn't have a heart attack he 1264 00:43:52,230 --> 00:43:49,359 got so uh deeply upset about the 1265 00:43:54,309 --> 00:43:52,240 experience he sent me an email the the 1266 00:43:56,550 --> 00:43:54,319 next day after the show and he said 1267 00:43:58,790 --> 00:43:56,560 jimmy i've told that story for 38 years 1268 00:44:00,630 --> 00:43:58,800 i've done 38 years of interviews that's 1269 00:44:02,630 --> 00:44:00,640 the first time i didn't freak out and 1270 00:44:05,270 --> 00:44:02,640 thank you you know because i didn't you 1271 00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:05,280 know you i know the sensationalism and 1272 00:44:08,309 --> 00:44:06,720 and what the movie 1273 00:44:10,069 --> 00:44:08,319 you know shows if you want to see the 1274 00:44:13,829 --> 00:44:10,079 trauma just go see the movie if you want 1275 00:44:17,109 --> 00:44:13,839 the terror but uh for him everybody just 1276 00:44:19,510 --> 00:44:17,119 wants that minute by minute replay 1277 00:44:21,270 --> 00:44:19,520 and it just it freaks him out you asked 1278 00:44:23,190 --> 00:44:21,280 uh am i holding anything back there's 1279 00:44:25,750 --> 00:44:23,200 one other one other account that i think 1280 00:44:27,589 --> 00:44:25,760 is relevant here is useful to explain 1281 00:44:29,270 --> 00:44:27,599 and it's similar to the woman that i 1282 00:44:31,589 --> 00:44:29,280 described earlier but this was a truck 1283 00:44:33,430 --> 00:44:31,599 driver a guy in his 50s 1284 00:44:34,790 --> 00:44:33,440 told me about him uh two hours of 1285 00:44:36,069 --> 00:44:34,800 missing time that he had he'd been he 1286 00:44:41,190 --> 00:44:36,079 was doing night fishing with three 1287 00:44:43,829 --> 00:44:41,200 friends in ohio back in uh 1980s 1288 00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:43,839 uh bright object descends over their 1289 00:44:47,990 --> 00:44:46,240 boat and that was the last thing 1290 00:44:50,390 --> 00:44:48,000 he remembered the next thing he 1291 00:44:53,589 --> 00:44:50,400 remembered is that the four of them were 1292 00:44:55,829 --> 00:44:53,599 on the shore not in their boat 1293 00:44:57,430 --> 00:44:55,839 on the shore looking up at this low 1294 00:45:00,069 --> 00:44:57,440 object directly above them and they were 1295 00:45:01,670 --> 00:45:00,079 all screaming hysterically they're 1296 00:45:04,550 --> 00:45:01,680 coming to get us 1297 00:45:06,309 --> 00:45:04,560 he said the object took off and and left 1298 00:45:07,190 --> 00:45:06,319 when they checked their time it was two 1299 00:45:08,870 --> 00:45:07,200 hours 1300 00:45:10,470 --> 00:45:08,880 later than it should have been 1301 00:45:11,990 --> 00:45:10,480 and and um 1302 00:45:13,589 --> 00:45:12,000 as they were getting into the van to go 1303 00:45:17,349 --> 00:45:13,599 home 1304 00:45:19,510 --> 00:45:17,359 as he said to his friends 1305 00:45:22,069 --> 00:45:19,520 we are not supposed to talk about this 1306 00:45:24,470 --> 00:45:22,079 not ever and if any of you ever discuss 1307 00:45:26,790 --> 00:45:24,480 this i'll call you all a liar and i'll 1308 00:45:28,470 --> 00:45:26,800 never talk to you any any of you again 1309 00:45:31,430 --> 00:45:28,480 you're not supposed to talk 1310 00:45:33,510 --> 00:45:31,440 so what's going on who talked first 1311 00:45:35,349 --> 00:45:33,520 right well he didn't talk for 30 years 1312 00:45:36,950 --> 00:45:35,359 right he was another one when he talked 1313 00:45:39,510 --> 00:45:36,960 about his encounter to me 1314 00:45:41,510 --> 00:45:39,520 he got very very hyper he got very very 1315 00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:41,520 excited and i had to help him have him 1316 00:45:45,349 --> 00:45:43,280 slow down 1317 00:45:48,069 --> 00:45:45,359 but there's something going on in some 1318 00:45:51,030 --> 00:45:48,079 of these encounters 1319 00:45:53,349 --> 00:45:51,040 where these whoever's running the show 1320 00:45:55,270 --> 00:45:53,359 gets into our head and they 1321 00:45:57,910 --> 00:45:55,280 are able to manipulate our consciousness 1322 00:46:00,550 --> 00:45:57,920 to the extent that they induce fear 1323 00:46:01,750 --> 00:46:00,560 they induce a command like you're not 1324 00:46:02,950 --> 00:46:01,760 going to talk about this so you're not 1325 00:46:04,390 --> 00:46:02,960 going to talk about it intelligently or 1326 00:46:06,150 --> 00:46:04,400 whatever 1327 00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:06,160 so does that mean it's the aliens doing 1328 00:46:09,670 --> 00:46:07,760 it does that mean it's a human black 1329 00:46:11,349 --> 00:46:09,680 budget group doing it that's all 1330 00:46:13,109 --> 00:46:11,359 another question 1331 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:13,119 but the larger point that i'd like to 1332 00:46:17,670 --> 00:46:14,560 mention especially if i'm in a 1333 00:46:19,910 --> 00:46:17,680 mainstream audience um 1334 00:46:21,670 --> 00:46:19,920 you know the point is not is this alien 1335 00:46:24,309 --> 00:46:21,680 or not necessarily 1336 00:46:26,069 --> 00:46:24,319 the fact is this is a real thing it's 1337 00:46:27,510 --> 00:46:26,079 affecting real people 1338 00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:27,520 and we've got to get to a point in our 1339 00:46:31,910 --> 00:46:29,760 culture where we can discuss this in an 1340 00:46:33,589 --> 00:46:31,920 open intelligent rational way 1341 00:46:36,150 --> 00:46:33,599 i uh 1342 00:46:38,870 --> 00:46:36,160 i share a couple of views on that 1343 00:46:41,670 --> 00:46:38,880 uh the first is i'm a military brat so i 1344 00:46:43,670 --> 00:46:41,680 grew up a child of the 60s and 70s 1345 00:46:47,990 --> 00:46:43,680 living on army bases 1346 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:48,000 and what you experience with that is you 1347 00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:49,520 believe 1348 00:46:52,870 --> 00:46:51,119 what your government is telling you in 1349 00:46:55,430 --> 00:46:52,880 that atmosphere 1350 00:46:58,069 --> 00:46:55,440 and especially in the 60s 1351 00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:58,079 and today the government doesn't have a 1352 00:47:02,390 --> 00:47:01,200 control the control of this 1353 00:47:04,230 --> 00:47:02,400 of this 1354 00:47:06,870 --> 00:47:04,240 we're broadcasting around the world 1355 00:47:08,870 --> 00:47:06,880 right now there's no fcc regulations 1356 00:47:11,670 --> 00:47:08,880 here there's no well i don't know if 1357 00:47:15,589 --> 00:47:11,680 there's men in black here tonight 1358 00:47:17,270 --> 00:47:15,599 but there's nobody to control us now uh 1359 00:47:21,750 --> 00:47:17,280 they don't 1360 00:47:25,349 --> 00:47:21,760 allows uh you and i and everybody here 1361 00:47:27,910 --> 00:47:25,359 to suddenly have a voice and i i think 1362 00:47:30,230 --> 00:47:27,920 that there's a reaction to that too as 1363 00:47:31,829 --> 00:47:30,240 well and i don't know how 1364 00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:31,839 this is going to end up maybe being 1365 00:47:36,630 --> 00:47:33,760 controlled too 1366 00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:36,640 well control is always their goal so um 1367 00:47:41,030 --> 00:47:39,040 the internet the web i think uh 20 years 1368 00:47:42,550 --> 00:47:41,040 ago was not a development that anyone 1369 00:47:45,589 --> 00:47:42,560 could have foreseen how would turn out 1370 00:47:48,309 --> 00:47:45,599 exactly so um 1371 00:47:49,990 --> 00:47:48,319 so we get this this internet developing 1372 00:47:51,270 --> 00:47:50,000 through the 90s and into the 21st 1373 00:47:53,190 --> 00:47:51,280 century and what has it done it's 1374 00:47:56,069 --> 00:47:53,200 allowed for a complete explosion of 1375 00:47:57,510 --> 00:47:56,079 creativity of communication of of what 1376 00:47:59,109 --> 00:47:57,520 we're doing here 1377 00:48:01,990 --> 00:47:59,119 of people talking to each other around 1378 00:48:03,829 --> 00:48:02,000 the world sharing ideas and um and 1379 00:48:05,670 --> 00:48:03,839 growing in that capacity but of course 1380 00:48:07,109 --> 00:48:05,680 there's always those who rule there are 1381 00:48:09,030 --> 00:48:07,119 always those who are at the top of the 1382 00:48:10,630 --> 00:48:09,040 human food chain 1383 00:48:12,630 --> 00:48:10,640 and they want to maintain control and 1384 00:48:14,069 --> 00:48:12,640 but you know we all know they are 1385 00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:14,079 actively 1386 00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,920 working on ways to maintain that control 1387 00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:17,280 through the internet as well as every 1388 00:48:21,750 --> 00:48:18,400 other means 1389 00:48:23,829 --> 00:48:21,760 so this is uh we're in an era right now 1390 00:48:26,150 --> 00:48:23,839 where we're in a 1391 00:48:28,470 --> 00:48:26,160 serious struggle this is a titanic 1392 00:48:30,630 --> 00:48:28,480 monumental struggle of our age and it's 1393 00:48:32,950 --> 00:48:30,640 really the question of um will we have 1394 00:48:34,950 --> 00:48:32,960 global fascism or something approaching 1395 00:48:36,710 --> 00:48:34,960 freedom and we're going to have to see 1396 00:48:38,470 --> 00:48:36,720 this resolve itself in the next 1397 00:48:40,470 --> 00:48:38,480 generation 1398 00:48:41,829 --> 00:48:40,480 there are forces that want to control 1399 00:48:43,430 --> 00:48:41,839 access to the internet in a very 1400 00:48:45,349 --> 00:48:43,440 significant way 1401 00:48:47,030 --> 00:48:45,359 to monitor 1402 00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:47,040 everything that you read 1403 00:48:50,790 --> 00:48:49,040 and be able to go after you if you if 1404 00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:50,800 you have uh 1405 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:52,240 you know if if you're the nail that 1406 00:48:56,710 --> 00:48:54,720 sticks out they're going to hammer you 1407 00:48:58,230 --> 00:48:56,720 so that's that's one possible world that 1408 00:48:59,750 --> 00:48:58,240 we're moving into and 1409 00:49:01,430 --> 00:48:59,760 and then the other possible world is 1410 00:49:02,950 --> 00:49:01,440 where people are able to organize and do 1411 00:49:04,710 --> 00:49:02,960 things to fight that system and opt out 1412 00:49:06,630 --> 00:49:04,720 of that system you know right now you're 1413 00:49:08,950 --> 00:49:06,640 that nail by the way 1414 00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:08,960 no i'm aware of that and i'm just glad 1415 00:49:13,109 --> 00:49:11,280 that i'm not the only email so so 1416 00:49:14,470 --> 00:49:13,119 there's more of us doing this and 1417 00:49:16,549 --> 00:49:14,480 hopefully they can hit us all on the 1418 00:49:18,150 --> 00:49:16,559 head and we can get something done now i 1419 00:49:20,309 --> 00:49:18,160 had said earlier i have two questions i 1420 00:49:22,309 --> 00:49:20,319 want to indulge myself with so just go 1421 00:49:23,829 -->

attitudes broke down into three 1511 00:52:26,470 --> 00:52:25,200 basic groups 1512 00:52:28,549 --> 00:52:26,480 on one 1513 00:52:30,470 --> 00:52:28,559 side a very small number 1514 00:52:32,870

00:52:50,000 the largest group 1524 00:52:53,910 --> 00:52:51,280 uh maybe 1525 00:52:55,190 --> 00:52:53,920 of the 18 maybe 10 let's say 1526 00:52:56,390 --> 00:52:55,200 said oh 1527 00:52:58,309

1533 00:53:09,829 --> 00:53:07,839 now 1534 00:53:12,230 --> 00:53:09,839 it seems like 1535 00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:12,240 every president that's or no every 1536 00:53:18,390 --> 00:53:15,359 candidate that's running for president 1537 00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:18,400 that the issue of ufos has come up oh 1538 00:53:22,150 --> 00:53:20,640 when i get there when i get there i'll 1539 00:53:25,430 --> 00:53:22,160 find out for you 1540 00:53:26,470 --> 00:53:25,440 and they get into office and then 1541 00:53:28,069 --> 00:53:26,480 nothing 1542 00:53:30,150 --> 00:53:28,079 silence 1543 00:53:32,309 --> 00:53:30,160 is it because a 1544 00:53:34,630 --> 00:53:32,319 uh there isn't anything to find out or 1545 00:53:36,870 --> 00:53:34,640 is it b 1546 00:53:38,309 --> 00:53:36,880 they're not told anything at all well i 1547 00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:38,319 think the answer you know you're 1548 00:53:42,150 --> 00:53:40,160 referring indirectly to jimmy carter and 1549 00:53:44,230 --> 00:53:42,160 i have a jimmy carter story told to me 1550 00:53:46,710 --> 00:53:44,240 by this man this very man well you had 1551 00:53:48,390 --> 00:53:46,720 gerald ford and he had clinton you know 1552 00:53:50,230 --> 00:53:48,400 i think everybody's been confronted with 1553 00:53:51,990 --> 00:53:50,240 it uh you want your mic on there steve 1554 00:53:53,750 --> 00:53:52,000 shelton yeah clinton was big on that 1555 00:53:55,670 --> 00:53:53,760 yeah oh yeah yeah 1556 00:53:59,750 --> 00:53:55,680 well with the the carter story this this 1557 00:54:01,829 --> 00:53:59,760 cia man um and again i'll just say i 1558 00:54:03,349 --> 00:54:01,839 i implicitly i you know i know his 1559 00:54:05,270 --> 00:54:03,359 background i know a lot about him and i 1560 00:54:06,309 --> 00:54:05,280 believe him when he says this to me 1561 00:54:08,390 --> 00:54:06,319 and uh 1562 00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:08,400 he said jimmy carter was briefed on this 1563 00:54:12,790 --> 00:54:11,200 topic in june of 1977. 1564 00:54:13,910 --> 00:54:12,800 he doesn't know exactly what was said to 1565 00:54:16,069 --> 00:54:13,920 carter 1566 00:54:18,309 --> 00:54:16,079 but he does know 1567 00:54:19,589 --> 00:54:18,319 he said extremely reliably that when 1568 00:54:21,190 --> 00:54:19,599 carter was seen at the end of that 1569 00:54:22,150 --> 00:54:21,200 briefing and i wrote about this in one 1570 00:54:23,829 --> 00:54:22,160 of my books 1571 00:54:25,030 --> 00:54:23,839 he was seen with his elbows on his desk 1572 00:54:26,390 --> 00:54:25,040 head and his head in his hands and he 1573 00:54:28,630 --> 00:54:26,400 was sobbing 1574 00:54:30,870 --> 00:54:28,640 so he was deeply upset by whatever it 1575 00:54:32,630 --> 00:54:30,880 was that he was told 1576 00:54:34,309 --> 00:54:32,640 so the thing is 1577 00:54:35,670 --> 00:54:34,319 how much do presidents know what do they 1578 00:54:39,190 --> 00:54:35,680 know 1579 00:54:40,870 --> 00:54:39,200 apparently a lot of them aren't briefed 1580 00:54:42,790 --> 00:54:40,880 the way that they want to be and that 1581 00:54:43,910 --> 00:54:42,800 begs the question of who 1582 00:54:47,750 --> 00:54:43,920 is 1583 00:54:49,510 --> 00:54:47,760 that very question i said so are we 1584 00:54:51,349 --> 00:54:49,520 talking about uh 1585 00:54:53,589 --> 00:54:51,359 something like the bilderbergers you 1586 00:54:55,349 --> 00:54:53,599 know the financial elites of the world 1587 00:54:57,030 --> 00:54:55,359 and and all he could say is yes 1588 00:54:58,710 --> 00:54:57,040 something like that 1589 00:55:01,430 --> 00:54:58,720 uh we're at the top of the hour so just 1590 00:55:03,349 --> 00:55:01,440 say this kjcr dark matter network fade 1591 00:55:07,750 --> 00:55:03,359 to black we are sitting with richard 1592 00:55:13,430 --> 00:55:09,589 and 1593 00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:13,440 okay before we get back into the book um 1594 00:55:15,510 --> 00:55:14,720 uh 1595 00:55:17,750 --> 00:55:15,520 when 1596 00:55:19,030 --> 00:55:17,760 i i just want to say this again 1597 00:55:22,150 --> 00:55:19,040 correctly 1598 00:55:25,270 --> 00:55:22,160 um with with the subject when it comes 1599 00:55:27,750 --> 00:55:25,280 to the white house what is the event do 1600 00:55:30,150 --> 00:55:27,760 you think that would tip the scale 1601 00:55:31,829 --> 00:55:30,160 aside from the obvious answer and and 1602 00:55:33,990 --> 00:55:31,839 then i've i've got another follow-up 1603 00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:34,000 question the obvious you know you know 1604 00:55:39,270 --> 00:55:35,920 white house lawn kind of thing right 1605 00:55:40,549 --> 00:55:39,280 what what is the event that you think 1606 00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:40,559 would 1607 00:55:44,390 --> 00:55:42,720 you know open those doors um either a 1608 00:55:45,750 --> 00:55:44,400 leak like a wikileaks type of thing or 1609 00:55:47,349 --> 00:55:45,760 an edward snowden type of thing where 1610 00:55:48,710 --> 00:55:47,359 something leaks out illegally but it's 1611 00:55:50,150 --> 00:55:48,720 out there and 1612 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:50,160 and becomes an embarrassment it has to 1613 00:55:53,910 --> 00:55:52,079 be dealt with that's one obvious 1614 00:55:55,270 --> 00:55:53,920 possibility in my mind another would be 1615 00:55:57,270 --> 00:55:55,280 a mass sighting not necessarily 1616 00:55:58,950 --> 00:55:57,280 necessarily on the white house lawn but 1617 00:56:00,710 --> 00:55:58,960 in an age where we have multiple cameras 1618 00:56:03,270 --> 00:56:00,720 available to capture things 1619 00:56:04,870 --> 00:56:03,280 there is always the possibility and i 1620 00:56:06,630 --> 00:56:04,880 think increasingly a likelihood as we 1621 00:56:08,390 --> 00:56:06,640 move forward that something will be 1622 00:56:10,150 --> 00:56:08,400 captured that will be 1623 00:56:12,710 --> 00:56:10,160 undeniable 1624 00:56:14,069 --> 00:56:12,720 aside uh you know overcoming the fact 1625 00:56:16,549 --> 00:56:14,079 that you're going to have 1626 00:56:17,990 --> 00:56:16,559 uh arguments about cgi and fakery and 1627 00:56:20,470 --> 00:56:18,000 everything but i think that there that 1628 00:56:21,670 --> 00:56:20,480 it's an inevitability that we're getting 1629 00:56:24,230 --> 00:56:21,680 to a point where 1630 00:56:27,109 --> 00:56:24,240 something's gonna give one of those 1631 00:56:28,309 --> 00:56:27,119 we talked about hollywood earlier 1632 00:56:30,549 --> 00:56:28,319 do you think 1633 00:56:32,789 --> 00:56:30,559 again this is me asking a personal 1634 00:56:34,470 --> 00:56:32,799 question but do you think oh well and 1635 00:56:36,710 --> 00:56:34,480 then i have one other one other thing 1636 00:56:39,190 --> 00:56:36,720 that made me which is simply uh 1637 00:56:41,190 --> 00:56:39,200 developments in computing intelligence 1638 00:56:43,829 --> 00:56:41,200 uh i think that we we might get to a 1639 00:56:45,349 --> 00:56:43,839 period in another 20 years possibly 1640 00:56:47,190 --> 00:56:45,359 where our computing capability is going 1641 00:56:48,870 --> 00:56:47,200 to be so advanced so incredible we're 1642 00:56:50,630 --> 00:56:48,880 actually going to be able to yank out 1643 00:56:52,630 --> 00:56:50,640 answers that we can't even conceive of 1644 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:52,640 yanking out today 1645 00:56:56,829 --> 00:56:55,040 whether that's through advanced ai or or 1646 00:56:59,349 --> 00:56:56,839 some other similar 1647 00:57:01,910 --> 00:56:59,359 development it's exactly my next 1648 00:57:03,349 --> 00:57:01,920 question oh hang on steve 1649 00:57:06,069 --> 00:57:03,359 richard if you go into that a little bit 1650 00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:06,079 more when you say ai yanking in answers 1651 00:57:10,789 --> 00:57:08,240 what do you mean by that well uh 1652 00:57:14,390 --> 00:57:10,799 artificial intelligence and advanced 1653 00:57:15,910 --> 00:57:14,400 computing in general um 1654 00:57:17,430 --> 00:57:15,920 you know 1655 00:57:20,230 --> 00:57:17,440 people think ufos are a little whack 1656 00:57:22,230 --> 00:57:20,240 they should read books by mainstream are 1657 00:57:24,309 --> 00:57:22,240 thinkers on artificial intelligence and 1658 00:57:25,349 --> 00:57:24,319 you want to read a wild story read those 1659 00:57:26,630 --> 00:57:25,359 books 1660 00:57:28,630 --> 00:57:26,640 they're these are people who get 1661 00:57:29,829 --> 00:57:28,640 significant funding for what they do and 1662 00:57:31,829 --> 00:57:29,839 they're very mainstream and what are 1663 00:57:33,910 --> 00:57:31,839 they arguing they're saying 1664 00:57:35,670 --> 00:57:33,920 20 years maybe 30 years from now they 1665 00:57:38,230 --> 00:57:35,680 argue over the duration but we're going 1666 00:57:39,510 --> 00:57:38,240 to get to a point where computers will 1667 00:57:40,549 --> 00:57:39,520 seem 1668 00:57:41,990 --> 00:57:40,559 conscious 1669 00:57:44,549 --> 00:57:42,000 whether they are not is another issue 1670 00:57:47,270 --> 00:57:44,559 but they'll be able to talk back to you 1671 00:57:48,710 --> 00:57:47,280 they'll have maybe a relative iq of 500 1672 00:57:50,950 --> 00:57:48,720 or better who knows they're going to 1673 00:57:53,670 --> 00:57:50,960 seem like very intel one writer ray 1674 00:57:55,589 --> 00:57:53,680 kurzweil called the intelligence 1675 00:57:57,750 --> 00:57:55,599 of a god-like level of intelligence well 1676 00:57:59,829 --> 00:57:57,760 if this is true 1677 00:58:01,510 --> 00:57:59,839 and uh these are not you know these 1678 00:58:02,789 --> 00:58:01,520 aren't chumps these are smart very 1679 00:58:05,430 --> 00:58:02,799 brilliant people they get a lot of 1680 00:58:07,190 --> 00:58:05,440 serious attention 1681 00:58:08,630 --> 00:58:07,200 think about it you have a computer 20 1682 00:58:10,710 --> 00:58:08,640 years from now 1683 00:58:12,549 --> 00:58:10,720 you wake up you'll say hey marvin and 1684 00:58:14,789 --> 00:58:12,559 marvin will say hello 1685 00:58:16,069 --> 00:58:14,799 marvin i was just thinking about ufos i 1686 00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:16,079 just occurred to me that you might have 1687 00:58:19,430 --> 00:58:17,599 some ideas on this and marvin will say 1688 00:58:21,109 --> 00:58:19,440 oh well yes absolutely 1689 00:58:22,390 --> 00:58:21,119 and marvin will be able to put together 1690 00:58:24,390 --> 00:58:22,400 a very 1691 00:58:25,990 --> 00:58:24,400 cogent analysis of all the known data 1692 00:58:28,069 --> 00:58:26,000 and and probably provide you with some 1693 00:58:29,190 --> 00:58:28,079 information about this sounds silly 1694 00:58:30,710 --> 00:58:29,200 maybe but 1695 00:58:32,630 --> 00:58:30,720 why wouldn't that be possible or 1696 00:58:34,390 --> 00:58:32,640 something along the lines where 1697 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:34,400 think of it just generally speaking we 1698 00:58:39,589 --> 00:58:37,280 have tools today in 2014 that were not 1699 00:58:41,270 --> 00:58:39,599 imaginable to us 20 years ago it's 1700 00:58:44,950 --> 00:58:41,280 called the iphone 1701 00:58:46,309 --> 00:58:44,960 yes yeah smartphones right and um 1702 00:58:49,190 --> 00:58:46,319 what are our tools going to be in 1703 00:58:52,150 --> 00:58:49,200 another 20 years when you compared 2014 1704 00:58:53,990 --> 00:58:52,160 to 1994 it's two different universes yes 1705 00:58:55,349 --> 00:58:54,000 it is so obviously time's not going to 1706 00:58:57,670 --> 00:58:55,359 stop it's not going to stand still we're 1707 00:59:00,470 --> 00:58:57,680 going to have a 2034 what's it going to 1708 00:59:02,150 --> 00:59:00,480 be like so i i just think to uh 1709 00:59:04,230 --> 00:59:02,160 when we look at these developments on 1710 00:59:06,150 --> 00:59:04,240 our new tools i think we're fools if we 1711 00:59:09,190 --> 00:59:06,160 think we're not going to have 1712 00:59:11,589 --> 00:59:09,200 new um new opportunities 1713 00:59:13,430 --> 00:59:11,599 to open this this topic up so i mean i 1714 00:59:15,430 --> 00:59:13,440 guess what i'm saying to you is 1715 00:59:17,270 --> 00:59:15,440 my imagination is limited 1716 00:59:18,390 --> 00:59:17,280 because of where we're at in time but i 1717 00:59:20,630 --> 00:59:18,400 think that there are going to be new 1718 00:59:22,549 --> 00:59:20,640 vistas opening up in the next generation 1719 00:59:24,069 --> 00:59:22,559 one last question before we get into the 1720 00:59:25,750 --> 00:59:24,079 book 1721 00:59:27,910 --> 00:59:25,760 does steven spielberg know something 1722 00:59:29,990 --> 00:59:27,920 that we don't 1723 00:59:32,309 --> 00:59:30,000 i think yes i think that he probably 1724 00:59:34,710 --> 00:59:32,319 does i've never had the pleasure to have 1725 00:59:36,150 --> 00:59:34,720 a conversation with him i mean you know 1726 00:59:38,870 --> 00:59:36,160 but um 1727 00:59:41,670 --> 00:59:38,880 and you understand the question 1728 00:59:43,750 --> 00:59:41,680 yes of course uh this is a guy who is as 1729 00:59:44,950 --> 00:59:43,760 plugged into hollywood as as anyone has 1730 00:59:47,349 --> 00:59:44,960 ever been 1731 00:59:49,589 --> 00:59:47,359 he's had a lifelong 1732 00:59:52,309 --> 00:59:49,599 interest in discussing in uh and 1733 00:59:54,789 --> 00:59:52,319 treating this particular topic 1734 00:59:57,030 --> 00:59:54,799 in various ways from his early years 1735 00:59:59,430 --> 00:59:57,040 with where you know the et was kind of a 1736 01:00:00,870 --> 00:59:59,440 positive benefit beneficent sort of 1737 01:00:02,789 --> 01:00:00,880 thing to uh 1738 01:00:04,870 --> 01:00:02,799 later you know doing a series like taken 1739 01:00:06,870 --> 01:00:04,880 which is very dark and and distressing 1740 01:00:09,349 --> 01:00:06,880 and ominous 1741 01:00:10,789 --> 01:00:09,359 to uh independence day with tom cruise 1742 01:00:11,750 --> 01:00:10,799 where you know they're blowing up the 1743 01:00:13,190 --> 01:00:11,760 world 1744 01:00:15,109 --> 01:00:13,200 so he's taken a number of different 1745 01:00:16,870 --> 01:00:15,119 takes on this and partly that could just 1746 01:00:18,950 --> 01:00:16,880 be an an artist trying out different 1747 01:00:21,190 --> 01:00:18,960 visions that's certainly fair war of the 1748 01:00:23,510 --> 01:00:21,200 worlds yeah oh right what did i say 1749 01:00:25,510 --> 01:00:23,520 independent statements 1750 01:00:27,030 --> 01:00:25,520 no thank you thanks for the correction 1751 01:00:30,870 --> 01:00:27,040 but um 1752 01:00:33,109 --> 01:00:30,880 hollywood is so important 1753 01:00:35,510 --> 01:00:33,119 as a creator of global consciousness and 1754 01:00:39,190 --> 01:00:35,520 also global control 1755 01:00:42,470 --> 01:00:39,200 global control hollywood is key okay and 1756 01:00:44,950 --> 01:00:42,480 and there's no way in hell that the 1757 01:00:46,470 --> 01:00:44,960 u.s national security state is simply 1758 01:00:49,430 --> 01:00:46,480 going to allow hollywood to go run off 1759 01:00:51,109 --> 01:00:49,440 on assange for for mere profit motive 1760 01:00:52,390 --> 01:00:51,119 so there's going to be cia connections 1761 01:00:53,829 --> 01:00:52,400 there's going to be military connections 1762 01:00:55,829 --> 01:00:53,839 to hollywood and there have been and we 1763 01:00:57,349 --> 01:00:55,839 we had this confirmed not even more just 1764 01:00:59,349 --> 01:00:57,359 about a year ago 1765 01:01:02,309 --> 01:00:59,359 with a gentleman named chase brandon 1766 01:01:04,150 --> 01:01:02,319 great story retired cia and he's for 1767 01:01:07,270 --> 01:01:04,160 real you can check him out and he said 1768 01:01:10,230 --> 01:01:07,280 my job was to be cia's liaison to 1769 01:01:11,270 --> 01:01:10,240 hollywood i think he wrote some scripts 1770 01:01:13,270 --> 01:01:11,280 as well 1771 01:01:15,349 --> 01:01:13,280 yeah he's a he's a competent capable 1772 01:01:16,789 --> 01:01:15,359 writer and he's he's the right guy to 1773 01:01:18,789 --> 01:01:16,799 deal with hollywood and he's got the 1774 01:01:22,150 --> 01:01:18,799 right personality apparently 1775 01:01:24,390 --> 01:01:22,160 but the job was to monitor and sort of 1776 01:01:26,549 --> 01:01:24,400 oversee the message 1777 01:01:28,950 --> 01:01:26,559 that hollywood movies had on this 1778 01:01:31,349 --> 01:01:28,960 particular topic guaranteed that they've 1779 01:01:33,190 --> 01:01:31,359 got other people monitoring messages of 1780 01:01:34,630 --> 01:01:33,200 all other types whether it's support 1781 01:01:35,750 --> 01:01:34,640 your troops 1782 01:01:40,870 --> 01:01:35,760 or 1783 01:01:43,030 --> 01:01:40,880 very afraid so that we can you know have 1784 01:01:45,430 --> 01:01:43,040 new homeland security laws labeled you 1785 01:01:48,789 --> 01:01:45,440 know laying down against you or whatever 1786 01:01:51,829 --> 01:01:48,799 but this is part of their job is to um 1787 01:01:54,150 --> 01:01:51,839 i think distract and still 1788 01:01:55,750 --> 01:01:54,160 uh and instill a a perceived need to 1789 01:01:57,430 --> 01:01:55,760 rely on 1790 01:01:59,190 --> 01:01:57,440 the powerful government powerful 1791 01:02:00,150 --> 01:01:59,200 military to protect you from evil 1792 01:02:02,549 --> 01:02:00,160 threats 1793 01:02:06,309 --> 01:02:02,559 do you do you think that uh 1794 01:02:08,150 --> 01:02:06,319 with a.d and disclosure after disclosure 1795 01:02:10,710 --> 01:02:08,160 the idea 1796 01:02:12,470 --> 01:02:10,720 at least to me of anarchy in the streets 1797 01:02:14,069 --> 01:02:12,480 and the collapse of religion i don't 1798 01:02:15,430 --> 01:02:14,079 think that would happen 1799 01:02:18,789 --> 01:02:15,440 i think that 1800 01:02:20,630 --> 01:02:18,799 the the the worst 1801 01:02:23,990 --> 01:02:20,640 of the two would be if you don't 1802 01:02:25,990 --> 01:02:24,000 disclose well i think that uh 1803 01:02:30,069 --> 01:02:26,000 society in general now would be more 1804 01:02:31,670 --> 01:02:30,079 relaxed and and relieved if they knew 1805 01:02:33,430 --> 01:02:31,680 that there was life out there would be 1806 01:02:36,870 --> 01:02:33,440 like okay well that question is answered 1807 01:02:39,829 --> 01:02:36,880 now we can move on i i wonder 1808 01:02:41,670 --> 01:02:39,839 maybe we we here we live this topic i 1809 01:02:43,510 --> 01:02:41,680 live this topic day in day out it's on 1810 01:02:46,230 --> 01:02:43,520 my mind every single day 1811 01:02:48,390 --> 01:02:46,240 and i i suspect i would be 1812 01:02:51,030 --> 01:02:48,400 although i might myself have a feeling 1813 01:02:52,950 --> 01:02:51,040 of ominous dread because like like 1814 01:02:54,630 --> 01:02:52,960 knowing okay this stuff just got real 1815 01:02:56,309 --> 01:02:54,640 now we're moving into the next phase 1816 01:02:57,910 --> 01:02:56,319 right but there are people i have 1817 01:02:59,349 --> 01:02:57,920 relatives and i love them all but i've 1818 01:03:00,150 --> 01:02:59,359 got a lot of relatives i'm sure you do 1819 01:03:02,069 --> 01:03:00,160 too 1820 01:03:03,430 --> 01:03:02,079 who they're not on board with this and 1821 01:03:05,270 --> 01:03:03,440 not only are they not on board they're 1822 01:03:07,030 --> 01:03:05,280 not thinking about this this is not part 1823 01:03:08,390 --> 01:03:07,040 of their reality 1824 01:03:10,630 --> 01:03:08,400 and um 1825 01:03:13,829 --> 01:03:10,640 one thing that i have noticed about this 1826 01:03:15,750 --> 01:03:13,839 subject is that it's dangerous in a way 1827 01:03:17,589 --> 01:03:15,760 this is not a subject that i feel is for 1828 01:03:18,870 --> 01:03:17,599 the faint of heart 1829 01:03:21,270 --> 01:03:18,880 i have seen 1830 01:03:23,109 --> 01:03:21,280 uh associates and friends 1831 01:03:25,430 --> 01:03:23,119 some of them i mean really almost lose 1832 01:03:27,029 --> 01:03:25,440 it lose their stability when they dive 1833 01:03:28,309 --> 01:03:27,039 into this why 1834 01:03:34,230 --> 01:03:28,319 because 1835 01:03:36,470 --> 01:03:34,240 the very real ability to to turn 1836 01:03:37,829 --> 01:03:36,480 your all of your previous paradigms 1837 01:03:39,270 --> 01:03:37,839 inside out 1838 01:03:43,109 --> 01:03:39,280 and that's a hard thing for a lot of 1839 01:03:44,630 --> 01:03:43,119 people to to deal with i mean it just is 1840 01:03:46,309 --> 01:03:44,640 so when you're dealing with the general 1841 01:03:47,670 --> 01:03:46,319 population 1842 01:03:49,750 --> 01:03:47,680 yes we've you can say we've been 1843 01:03:51,510 --> 01:03:49,760 acculturated through hollywood movies 1844 01:03:53,670 --> 01:03:51,520 but the fact is that almost none of 1845 01:03:56,150 --> 01:03:53,680 those movies truly accurately portray 1846 01:03:58,309 --> 01:03:56,160 the actual ufo phenomenon what do they 1847 01:03:59,750 --> 01:03:58,319 do it's cowboys and aliens let's shoot 1848 01:04:02,230 --> 01:03:59,760 em up bang bang 1849 01:04:03,990 --> 01:04:02,240 nothing that's actually genuinely 1850 01:04:05,990 --> 01:04:04,000 along the top if they were to do stuff 1851 01:04:07,990 --> 01:04:06,000 that dealt with the actual ufo phenomena 1852 01:04:09,670 --> 01:04:08,000 it'd be scary as hell 1853 01:04:12,230 --> 01:04:09,680 some of it would be 1854 01:04:13,349 --> 01:04:12,240 you know absolutely creepy yeah i mean 1855 01:04:14,950 --> 01:04:13,359 especially in the abduction of 1856 01:04:17,829 --> 01:04:14,960 phenomenon obviously i mean can you 1857 01:04:20,390 --> 01:04:17,839 imagine disclosure and then shortly 1858 01:04:24,309 --> 01:04:20,400 thereafter millions of people are going 1859 01:04:25,430 --> 01:04:24,319 you know who were previously alone going 1860 01:04:27,190 --> 01:04:25,440 you mean 1861 01:04:29,190 --> 01:04:27,200 all that stuff that i thought i was 1862 01:04:32,150 --> 01:04:29,200 going crazy that that's really happening 1863 01:04:34,230 --> 01:04:32,160 to me and that thought that knowledge is 1864 01:04:35,349 --> 01:04:34,240 terrifying and i've seen 1865 01:04:38,470 --> 01:04:35,359 uh 1866 01:04:40,870 --> 01:04:38,480 abductees contactees literally spin out 1867 01:04:42,390 --> 01:04:40,880 and just lose it and you know you don't 1868 01:04:44,549 --> 01:04:42,400 they they end up 1869 01:04:45,990 --> 01:04:44,559 hurting well 1870 01:04:48,789 --> 01:04:46,000 for everybody out there that's that's 1871

1889 01:05:27,910 --> 01:05:25,599 yeah you cannot shut that door once you 1890 01:05:29,750 --> 01:05:27,920 open it it's it's game over and then you 1891 01:05:32,309 --> 01:05:29,760 know then you got to deal with 1892 01:05:34,470 --> 01:05:32,319 okay so now if that's really you know so 1893 01:05:36,309 --> 01:05:34,480 the government lied to me about that 1894 01:05:38,630 --> 01:05:36,319 what else are they lying to me about 1895 01:05:40,950 --> 01:05:38,640 well everything yeah so you know i mean 1896 01:05:43,750 --> 01:05:40,960 it just literally tears your paradigm 1897 01:05:45,829 --> 01:05:43,760 apart and the other thing about panic uh 1898 01:05:47,750 --> 01:05:45,839 you know after a disclosure statement 1899 01:05:49,589 --> 01:05:47,760 think about how supermarkets can get 1900 01:05:51,670 --> 01:05:49,599 just drained of toilet paper and baked 1901 01:05:53,029 --> 01:05:51,680 beans canned beans and things like that 1902 01:05:54,630 --> 01:05:53,039 when there's uh 1903 01:05:56,789 --> 01:05:54,640 you know any kind of 1904 01:05:58,309 --> 01:05:56,799 uh panic perceived like 1905 01:05:59,910 --> 01:05:58,319 uh you know anything i i think there 1906 01:06:02,309 --> 01:05:59,920 would probably be a run on that probably 1907 01:06:04,230 --> 01:06:02,319 be a run on guns and ammo 1908 01:06:06,870 --> 01:06:04,240 oh we do that about every 10 years here 1909 01:06:08,470 --> 01:06:06,880 in los angeles so so not that that would 1910 01:06:11,190 --> 01:06:08,480 shut society down 1911 01:06:13,829 --> 01:06:11,200 we're prepared here that's for sure okay 1912 01:06:15,589 --> 01:06:13,839 what i'd like to do if you don't mind uh 1913 01:06:18,470 --> 01:06:15,599 uh i want to start to go through the 1914 01:06:20,150 --> 01:06:18,480 book believe it or not we've already 1915 01:06:21,750 --> 01:06:20,160 gone through an hour 1916 01:06:23,670 --> 01:06:21,760 it doesn't even seem like it so it's 1917 01:06:26,069 --> 01:06:23,680 been fun yeah totally 1918 01:06:28,549 --> 01:06:26,079 um let's uh i want to i want to go 1919 01:06:30,950 --> 01:06:28,559 through the book and i i just want uh 1920 01:06:34,549 --> 01:06:30,960 some you know chapter by chapter because 1921 01:06:37,029 --> 01:06:34,559 each each chapter in the book is a 1922 01:06:38,630 --> 01:06:37,039 question in itself that if it wasn't in 1923 01:06:39,910 --> 01:06:38,640 the book you and i would sit here and go 1924 01:06:42,069 --> 01:06:39,920 over this anyway 1925 01:06:44,230 --> 01:06:42,079 and and i'm sure you agree 1926 01:06:46,309 --> 01:06:44,240 but the but the first chapter is one of 1927 01:06:47,750 --> 01:06:46,319 the best and i've got to hear your 1928 01:06:50,470 --> 01:06:47,760 answer on this 1929 01:06:52,710 --> 01:06:50,480 what's a ufo yeah well actually all of 1930 01:06:54,230 --> 01:06:52,720 these chapters when i wrote this book i 1931 01:06:56,630 --> 01:06:54,240 i felt 1932 01:06:57,910 --> 01:06:56,640 uh i thought chapter one was good and i 1933 01:06:59,349 --> 01:06:57,920 thought oh but i like chapter two a 1934 01:07:01,109 --> 01:06:59,359 little more oh but i like chapter three 1935 01:07:02,870 --> 01:07:01,119 more than that chapter four i tried to 1936 01:07:04,309 --> 01:07:02,880 have this crescendo so that i felt like 1937 01:07:06,549 --> 01:07:04,319 it got better and better that was my 1938 01:07:08,150 --> 01:07:06,559 take on it but people have their own 1939 01:07:10,390 --> 01:07:08,160 the first chapter what are ufos was 1940 01:07:12,470 --> 01:07:10,400 basically an introduction um 1941 01:07:15,029 --> 01:07:12,480 to get a philosophical grounding in this 1942 01:07:17,589 --> 01:07:15,039 phenomenon and simply to point out 1943 01:07:19,589 --> 01:07:17,599 the obvious obvious thing that skeptics 1944 01:07:21,190 --> 01:07:19,599 rightly point out which is that most of 1945 01:07:23,190 --> 01:07:21,200 the crazy things that you think you see 1946 01:07:25,750 --> 01:07:23,200 in the sky really are genuinely 1947 01:07:28,069 --> 01:07:25,760 explainable in a conventional sense if 1948 01:07:29,190 --> 01:07:28,079 you just take the time to figure it out 1949 01:07:31,990 --> 01:07:29,200 um 1950 01:07:33,670 --> 01:07:32,000 you know it's almost the lesson of 1951 01:07:35,910 --> 01:07:33,680 what are the different things that can 1952 01:07:38,309 --> 01:07:35,920 be ufos and i that's one of the things 1953 01:07:39,670 --> 01:07:38,319 that i go over you know from uh 1954 01:07:41,349 --> 01:07:39,680 traditional 1955 01:07:43,029 --> 01:07:41,359 our arguments like the planet venus 1956 01:07:44,549 --> 01:07:43,039 which it's a cliche but it's a cliche 1957 01:07:46,789 --> 01:07:44,559 for a reason because it really can be 1958 01:07:48,950 --> 01:07:46,799 very deceptive to contemporary things 1959 01:07:50,470 --> 01:07:48,960 like uh drone technology and 1960 01:07:51,670 --> 01:07:50,480 off-the-shelf technology that people 1961 01:07:54,150 --> 01:07:51,680 today have 1962 01:07:56,710 --> 01:07:54,160 that can uh fake you out to to other 1963 01:07:58,950 --> 01:07:56,720 things like cgi effects adobe after 1964 01:08:01,109 --> 01:07:58,960 effects and and the like that can create 1965 01:08:03,029 --> 01:08:01,119 really good looking videos whether 1966 01:08:06,230 --> 01:08:03,039 someone wanting to intentionally hoax or 1967 01:08:08,950 --> 01:08:06,240 a university student for his uh or her 1968 01:08:11,910 --> 01:08:08,960 uh senior project who wants to show off 1969 01:08:13,750 --> 01:08:11,920 yeah sure so in other words uh 1970 01:08:15,430 --> 01:08:13,760 the first chapter almost is a note of 1971 01:08:16,950 --> 01:08:15,440 caution before i 1972 01:08:18,789 --> 01:08:16,960 and then actually what that chapter does 1973 01:08:20,789 --> 01:08:18,799 is it summarizes the rest of the book so 1974 01:08:22,550 --> 01:08:20,799 it's almost like an introduction how do 1975 01:08:23,590 --> 01:08:22,560 you explain 1976 01:08:25,189 --> 01:08:23,600 the 1977 01:08:27,749 --> 01:08:25,199 transition 1978 01:08:32,070 --> 01:08:27,759 from 1947 1979 01:08:33,590 --> 01:08:32,080 1952 to 1955 1960 the the different 1980 01:08:34,550 --> 01:08:33,600 types 1981 01:08:36,870 --> 01:08:34,560 of 1982 01:08:38,630 --> 01:08:36,880 sightings and i'm referring to you know 1983 01:08:40,870 --> 01:08:38,640 the classic 1984 01:08:43,910 --> 01:08:40,880 saucer-shaped dome 1985 01:08:45,510 --> 01:08:43,920 craft you know all the way up to today 1986 01:08:47,829 --> 01:08:45,520 where we're into this black triangle 1987 01:08:49,430 --> 01:08:47,839 thing for the last 15 or 20 years right 1988 01:08:51,749 --> 01:08:49,440 how do you explain that because 1989 01:08:53,510 --> 01:08:51,759 everybody's seeing what they're seeing 1990 01:08:55,990 --> 01:08:53,520 you know so what i mean what's your 1991 01:08:57,590 --> 01:08:56,000 assessment of that why do you think uh 1992 01:08:58,950 --> 01:08:57,600 the the change 1993 01:09:00,630 --> 01:08:58,960 uh 1994 01:09:02,229 --> 01:09:00,640 well part of it is oh it actually just 1995 01:09:03,749 --> 01:09:02,239 to finish up the last thing i said even 1996 01:09:05,269 --> 01:09:03,759 though there's a lot of explained ufos 1997 01:09:07,430 --> 01:09:05,279 there's still a lot of unexplained ones 1998 01:09:09,110 --> 01:09:07,440 i just want to leave 1999 01:09:10,789 --> 01:09:09,120 in terms of the development of the 2000 01:09:12,870 --> 01:09:10,799 sightings themselves yes you have you 2001 01:09:15,349 --> 01:09:12,880 have saucer-shaped objects that are seen 2002 01:09:16,789 --> 01:09:15,359 from even before 1947. one of the things 2003 01:09:19,829 --> 01:09:16,799 that i um 2004 01:09:21,829 --> 01:09:19,839 i bring out is a case that i found from 2005 01:09:23,829 --> 01:09:21,839 the canadian northwest territories in 2006 01:09:27,030 --> 01:09:23,839 1936 2007 01:09:29,189 --> 01:09:27,040 desolate area very reliable uh testimony 2008 01:09:30,390 --> 01:09:29,199 by a gentleman who wrote his uh 2009 01:09:31,590 --> 01:09:30,400 his record down for the canadian 2010 01:09:33,349 --> 01:09:31,600 government 2011 01:09:35,269 --> 01:09:33,359 of an object that was 2012 01:09:38,390 --> 01:09:35,279 slightly oblong shaped directly above 2013 01:09:40,950 --> 01:09:38,400 him in the middle of nowhere nowhere 2014 01:09:44,390 --> 01:09:40,960 and it turned and it shot off like a 2015 01:09:46,709 --> 01:09:44,400 bullet to the horizon within moments 2016 01:09:48,550 --> 01:09:46,719 who who's operating that no we don't 2017 01:09:50,709 --> 01:09:48,560 it's not german technology up there in 2018 01:09:52,789 --> 01:09:50,719 1936 not a chance 2019 01:09:55,189 --> 01:09:52,799 uh what you see are 2020 01:09:57,590 --> 01:09:55,199 yes disc shaped and also oblong 2021 01:10:00,310 --> 01:09:57,600 cigar-shaped objects being reported 2022 01:10:02,149 --> 01:10:00,320 through the 20th century 2023 01:10:04,149 --> 01:10:02,159 through the second world war through the 2024 01:10:07,189 --> 01:10:04,159 post-war period 2025 01:10:08,709 --> 01:10:07,199 and and to today that those have not 2026 01:10:10,790 --> 01:10:08,719 stopped 2027 01:10:12,950 --> 01:10:10,800 you have other types of sightings 2028 01:10:13,750 --> 01:10:12,960 the triangles that you talk about have 2029 01:10:15,189 --> 01:10:13,760 been 2030 01:10:17,030 --> 01:10:15,199 noted for 2031 01:10:19,590 --> 01:10:17,040 actually more than 15 that we've been 2032 01:10:23,270 --> 01:10:19,600 talking about them since 2033 01:10:25,270 --> 01:10:23,280 belgium in 1990 1989 and 90. so that's 2034 01:10:27,189 --> 01:10:25,280 about almost 25 years 2035 01:10:28,950 --> 01:10:27,199 but in fact triangular ufo sightings 2036 01:10:31,030 --> 01:10:28,960 have been reliably reported for much 2037 01:10:33,750 --> 01:10:31,040 much longer than that in fact i i'm uh 2038 01:10:34,870 --> 01:10:33,760 i'm a publisher i'm a publisher of like 2039 01:10:36,229 --> 01:10:34,880 my small little publishing company 2040 01:10:37,510 --> 01:10:36,239 richard allen press and one of the books 2041 01:10:39,990 --> 01:10:37,520 that i published a year ago is called 2042 01:10:41,030 --> 01:10:40,000 triangular ufos by a fellow named david 2043 01:10:43,430 --> 01:10:41,040 marler 2044 01:10:45,270 --> 01:10:43,440 who did a fantastic research and shows i 2045 01:10:47,110 --> 01:10:45,280 think very persuasively this goes back 2046 01:10:49,910 --> 01:10:47,120 through a large portion of the 20th 2047 01:10:52,709 --> 01:10:49,920 century who's making these triangles i 2048 01:10:56,149 --> 01:10:52,719 think i think the u.s 2049 01:10:58,229 --> 01:10:56,159 military community is making some of 2050 01:11:00,310 --> 01:10:58,239 those triangles i think we have been 2051 01:11:02,790 --> 01:11:00,320 making some of them for the past maybe 2052 01:11:04,229 --> 01:11:02,800 generation or so 2053 01:11:06,310 --> 01:11:04,239 there was a journalist named james 2054 01:11:08,390 --> 01:11:06,320 goodall who did a lot of investigation 2055 01:11:09,750 --> 01:11:08,400 of area 51 and that whole area back in 2056 01:11:11,350 --> 01:11:09,760 the 80s 2057 01:11:13,669 --> 01:11:11,360 and 2058 01:11:15,350 --> 01:11:13,679 one of this is even before bob lazar 2059 01:11:17,270 --> 01:11:15,360 became known 2060 01:11:19,030 --> 01:11:17,280 a number of good all sources made it 2061 01:11:19,990 --> 01:11:19,040 clear to him in his estimation that the 2062 01:11:21,430 --> 01:11:20,000 us 2063 01:11:24,310 --> 01:11:21,440 had a couple of 2064 01:11:25,750 --> 01:11:24,320 very classified highly classified 2065 01:11:28,149 --> 01:11:25,760 flying triangles that they were 2066 01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:28,159 operating this is in the mid 80s 2067 01:11:31,030 --> 01:11:29,280 and the other thing that one of 2068 01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:31,040 goodall's people said to him 2069 01:11:35,510 --> 01:11:33,600 is he almost a direct quote we have 2070 01:11:38,149 --> 01:11:35,520 things in the nevada desert that would 2071 01:11:39,669 --> 01:11:38,159 make george lucas envious it's such a 2072 01:11:40,390 --> 01:11:39,679 great quote right 2073 01:11:42,229 --> 01:11:40,400 now 2074 01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:42,239 i want to reach back a little bit and 2075 01:11:48,950 --> 01:11:46,080 and get to the airship craze to that uh 2076 01:11:51,590 --> 01:11:48,960 at the turn of the century and uh i had 2077 01:11:52,950 --> 01:11:51,600 jerome clark on uh last month and we 2078 01:11:54,550 --> 01:11:52,960 talked about this quite a bit i'm 2079 01:11:57,510 --> 01:11:54,560 fascinated with it 2080 01:11:59,750 --> 01:11:57,520 and the reason why for me uh the 2081 01:12:02,070 --> 01:11:59,760 fascination is there is today we have 2082 01:12:04,630 --> 01:12:02,080 the internet we have youtube and you 2083 01:12:07,350 --> 01:12:04,640 know 50 years ago we had cameras and 40 2084 01:12:09,910 --> 01:12:07,360 years ago and and movie but 2085 01:12:12,870 --> 01:12:09,920 um we didn't have that in 1890 and what 2086 01:12:16,390 --> 01:12:12,880 we didn't have in 1890 were telephone we 2087 01:12:19,669 --> 01:12:16,400 had morse code and and barely even that 2088 01:12:21,110 --> 01:12:19,679 right okay so the communication between 2089 01:12:23,910 --> 01:12:21,120 cities 2090 01:12:27,750 --> 01:12:23,920 uh took days if not weeks because that 2091 01:12:29,110 --> 01:12:27,760 communication was via train or horseback 2092 01:12:32,310 --> 01:12:29,120 okay 2093 01:12:33,910 --> 01:12:32,320 so but but what they were seeing was a 2094 01:12:36,470 --> 01:12:33,920 consistent 2095 01:12:39,590 --> 01:12:36,480 you know ship in the air and and their 2096 01:12:42,149 --> 01:12:39,600 descriptions right but yet 2097 01:12:43,669 --> 01:12:42,159 nothing was really confirmed and my 2098 01:12:46,870 --> 01:12:43,679 point is this 2099 01:12:48,390 --> 01:12:46,880 what is it that they were seeing i that 2100 01:12:51,030 --> 01:12:48,400 because something was there and they 2101 01:12:53,669 --> 01:12:51,040 didn't have a reference to describe 2102 01:12:56,390 --> 01:12:53,679 anything you know compare it to 2103 01:12:58,470 --> 01:12:56,400 what what was it that went on in 1890 2104 01:13:00,630 --> 01:12:58,480 1895 2105 01:13:03,350 --> 01:13:00,640 yeah what they saw it started in the 2106 01:13:05,189 --> 01:13:03,360 fall of 1896 i believe sacramento is 2107 01:13:06,790 --> 01:13:05,199 where it started and it and it moved 2108 01:13:08,550 --> 01:13:06,800 east uh 2109 01:13:10,870 --> 01:13:08,560 through the winter and spring it was 2110 01:13:12,790 --> 01:13:10,880 seen over chicago in the spring of 97 2111 01:13:16,550 --> 01:13:12,800 there was a case in texas that jim mars 2112 01:13:20,390 --> 01:13:19,030 so what was it well 2113 01:13:24,149 --> 01:13:20,400 look i'm not going to tell you that i 2114 01:13:26,550 --> 01:13:24,159 know what it was um i can i can say that 2115 01:13:28,229 --> 01:13:26,560 i believe that this was not an illusory 2116 01:13:30,149 --> 01:13:28,239 phenomenon i i would imagine jerome 2117 01:13:32,310 --> 01:13:30,159 clark who studied this a lot probably 2118 01:13:34,070 --> 01:13:32,320 said the same thing but really even 2119 01:13:36,149 --> 01:13:34,080 nobody truly knows that you have you 2120 01:13:38,630 --> 01:13:36,159 have the case made that 2121 01:13:40,390 --> 01:13:38,640 uh some form of uh hysteria combined 2122 01:13:41,910 --> 01:13:40,400 with pranks there were pranks that were 2123 01:13:43,270 --> 01:13:41,920 mixed into this there were a lot of uh 2124 01:13:45,430 --> 01:13:43,280 stories of 2125 01:13:47,110 --> 01:13:45,440 uh even back then that were clearly made 2126 01:13:48,950 --> 01:13:47,120 up stuff 2127 01:13:50,870 --> 01:13:48,960 on the other hand there were enough 2128 01:13:52,790 --> 01:13:50,880 serious accounts 2129 01:13:54,149 --> 01:13:52,800 that you have to think people were 2130 01:13:56,229 --> 01:13:54,159 seeing something and that's my own 2131 01:13:57,510 --> 01:13:56,239 conclusion so who was it what was behind 2132 01:13:59,030 --> 01:13:57,520 it 2133 01:14:02,149 --> 01:13:59,040 you have really two conclusions one is 2134 01:14:04,310 --> 01:14:02,159 that there was a very advanced 2135 01:14:05,830 --> 01:14:04,320 and still unknown group of american 2136 01:14:09,510 --> 01:14:05,840 inventors 2137 01:14:10,790 --> 01:14:09,520 who were a decade or more ahead of the 2138 01:14:12,229 --> 01:14:10,800 rest of the world 2139 01:14:13,750 --> 01:14:12,239 in terms of developing these things you 2140 01:14:15,510 --> 01:14:13,760 know the zeppelin 2141 01:14:17,510 --> 01:14:15,520 which was the first airship that 2142 01:14:19,750 --> 01:14:17,520 actually was practical 2143 01:14:21,510 --> 01:14:19,760 uh didn't didn't first fly until i think 2144 01:14:24,390 --> 01:14:21,520 1903. 2145 01:14:26,470 --> 01:14:24,400 um in europe that the best airships 2146 01:14:28,149 --> 01:14:26,480 in the 1890s could go maybe like a 2147 01:14:30,229 --> 01:14:28,159 couple of miles and you couldn't 2148 01:14:33,030 --> 01:14:30,239 navigate them that's right 2149 01:14:34,470 --> 01:14:33,040 so they were not effective and uh people 2150 01:14:36,390 --> 01:14:34,480 were still getting killed and then it 2151 01:14:37,990 --> 01:14:36,400 was very unsafe 2152 01:14:40,550 --> 01:14:38,000 so to to say 2153 01:14:42,229 --> 01:14:40,560 that in america ten fully ten years 2154 01:14:43,750 --> 01:14:42,239 before you've got these airships that 2155 01:14:44,790 --> 01:14:43,760 can basically go across the country 2156 01:14:49,030 --> 01:14:44,800 that's 2157 01:14:49,990 --> 01:14:49,040 no aviation historian has ever supported 2158 01:14:52,229 --> 01:14:50,000 that ever 2159 01:14:53,189 --> 01:14:52,239 and and and my point being that there 2160 01:14:55,110 --> 01:14:53,199 was such 2161 01:14:56,950 --> 01:14:55,120 vast distances 2162 01:14:59,430 --> 01:14:56,960 and time because you have to consider 2163 01:15:02,709 --> 01:14:59,440 time we need to talk distance between 2164 01:15:05,270 --> 01:15:02,719 the gulf of mexico and iowa new york and 2165 01:15:07,350 --> 01:15:05,280 exactly and uh 2166 01:15:10,070 --> 01:15:07,360 california that 2167 01:15:11,350 --> 01:15:10,080 how are the descriptions the same 2168 01:15:13,110 --> 01:15:11,360 because they're not talking to each 2169 01:15:15,189 --> 01:15:13,120 other over the phone 2170 01:15:17,110 --> 01:15:15,199 and that's and that's my point 2171 01:15:19,510 --> 01:15:17,120 no i i think that there is a real core 2172 01:15:22,229 --> 01:15:19,520 reality there and the other possibility 2173 01:15:24,709 --> 01:15:22,239 is that there was an advanced group 2174 01:15:26,950 --> 01:15:24,719 human or otherwise but maybe maybe not 2175 01:15:29,030 --> 01:15:26,960 fully of our civilization 2176 01:15:30,390 --> 01:15:29,040 that um what were they doing were they 2177 01:15:32,149 --> 01:15:30,400 tweaking us a little bit were they 2178 01:15:34,149 --> 01:15:32,159 giving us a little bit of an example of 2179 01:15:35,669 --> 01:15:34,159 what we can do what's possible 2180 01:15:37,430 --> 01:15:35,679 here try this 2181 01:15:39,590 --> 01:15:37,440 and have they been doing that all along 2182 01:15:41,750 --> 01:15:39,600 i'm only theorizing i don't really know 2183 01:15:44,870 --> 01:15:41,760 but when you're talking about the flying 2184 01:15:46,470 --> 01:15:44,880 saucers of the 40s and 50s was that also 2185 01:15:48,310 --> 01:15:46,480 an attempt to say 2186 01:15:49,990 --> 01:15:48,320 take a look at this technology this is 2187 01:15:52,390 --> 01:15:50,000 actually within your grasp give it a 2188 01:15:54,310 --> 01:15:52,400 shot and and what i'm trying to do i'm 2189 01:15:55,750 --> 01:15:54,320 tying it all together just like the 2190 01:15:57,430 --> 01:15:55,760 airship 2191 01:15:59,910 --> 01:15:57,440 craze that went down everybody was 2192 01:16:01,750 --> 01:15:59,920 seeing the same thing the descriptions 2193 01:16:03,669 --> 01:16:01,760 were the same and that's what was going 2194 01:16:06,470 --> 01:16:03,679 on in the 50s that's what was going on 2195 01:16:08,229 --> 01:16:06,480 in the 60s you didn't have these vast 2196 01:16:10,630 --> 01:16:08,239 differences of what they were seeing in 2197 01:16:11,830 --> 01:16:10,640 the sky they were seeing the same thing 2198 01:16:13,669 --> 01:16:11,840 right 2199 01:16:16,149 --> 01:16:13,679 so i think um 2200 01:16:18,470 --> 01:16:16,159 i'm really glad you asked this question 2201 01:16:21,910 --> 01:16:18,480 what are we really talking about 2202 01:16:25,110 --> 01:16:21,920 it's either that the ufo phenomenon is 2203 01:16:27,110 --> 01:16:25,120 solely a reflection of our own mind 2204 01:16:29,189 --> 01:16:27,120 and somehow we are able to project a 2205 01:16:31,270 --> 01:16:29,199 reality out there 2206 01:16:32,709 --> 01:16:31,280 in a way that our minds are able to to 2207 01:16:35,030 --> 01:16:32,719 create this 2208 01:16:37,910 --> 01:16:35,040 or that there's an intelligence in a 2209 01:16:39,430 --> 01:16:37,920 society beyond what we have here 2210 01:16:41,270 --> 01:16:39,440 that is 2211 01:16:43,430 --> 01:16:41,280 tweaking us and guiding us 2212 01:16:45,270 --> 01:16:43,440 giving little hints here and there 2213 01:16:46,310 --> 01:16:45,280 maybe maybe there's a third answer but i 2214 01:16:48,630 --> 01:16:46,320 think those are those are two real 2215 01:16:52,149 --> 01:16:48,640 possibilities i'm gonna let's get into 2216 01:16:53,110 --> 01:16:52,159 my favorite subject ancient aliens ah 2217 01:16:54,229 --> 01:16:53,120 yes 2218 01:16:56,310 --> 01:16:54,239 now 2219 01:16:58,470 --> 01:16:56,320 uh and i'm not talking about the tv show 2220 01:17:00,790 --> 01:16:58,480 i'm talking about the reality 2221 01:17:02,470 --> 01:17:00,800 um 2222 01:17:03,430 --> 01:17:02,480 earth is four and a half billion years 2223 01:17:05,590 --> 01:17:03,440 old 2224 01:17:07,510 --> 01:17:05,600 give or take a billion years 2225 01:17:10,709 --> 01:17:07,520 in my estimation 2226 01:17:12,390 --> 01:17:10,719 somebody did a drive by here 2227 01:17:13,910 --> 01:17:12,400 at least once 2228 01:17:16,709 --> 01:17:13,920 cruised by 2229 01:17:19,750 --> 01:17:16,719 and to think that that didn't happen i 2230 01:17:21,910 --> 01:17:19,760 think is extremely naive and and 2231 01:17:23,510 --> 01:17:21,920 to the point of just you're in denial it 2232 01:17:25,430 --> 01:17:23,520 has to have happened 2233 01:17:28,870 --> 01:17:25,440 and i look at it 2234 01:17:31,110 --> 01:17:28,880 uh a little more sincerely 2235 01:17:33,110 --> 01:17:31,120 when the the classic pictures that we 2236 01:17:34,470 --> 01:17:33,120 have of planet earth right now like from 2237 01:17:37,430 --> 01:17:34,480 the moon you look back it's the blue 2238 01:17:40,950 --> 01:17:37,440 planet but the reality is this thing is 2239 01:17:43,350 --> 01:17:40,960 lit up like a freeway at night it's lit 2240 01:17:45,430 --> 01:17:43,360 up like manhattan when you cruise by 2241 01:17:48,390 --> 01:17:45,440 planet earth now and look at it 2242 01:17:52,149 --> 01:17:48,400 civilization intelligence things are 2243 01:17:53,990 --> 01:17:52,159 going on here and to think that 2244 01:17:56,390 --> 01:17:54,000 somebody else out there doesn't know 2245 01:17:58,550 --> 01:17:56,400 when we're looking the exact same way in 2246 01:18:00,630 --> 01:17:58,560 the opposite direction we're searching 2247 01:18:03,430 --> 01:18:00,640 right for that exact thing that is 2248 01:18:06,149 --> 01:18:03,440 sitting here and is we are a beacon and 2249 01:18:08,630 --> 01:18:06,159 are very easy to find i think you're 2250 01:18:10,149 --> 01:18:08,640 right um i think that even before we 2251 01:18:12,390 --> 01:18:10,159 developed civilization i think even 2252 01:18:14,070 --> 01:18:12,400 before human beings were walking on this 2253 01:18:16,149 --> 01:18:14,080 planet that this would be a place of 2254 01:18:17,830 --> 01:18:16,159 great interest i mean 2255 01:18:19,990 --> 01:18:17,840 lots of an abundance of life you've got 2256 01:18:21,750 --> 01:18:20,000 all kinds of unique forms of dna if 2257 01:18:23,669 --> 01:18:21,760 you're sophisticated enough you know you 2258 01:18:25,350 --> 01:18:23,679 know how to mess with dna this would be 2259 01:18:27,510 --> 01:18:25,360 a great place to go 2260 01:18:29,030 --> 01:18:27,520 um and there's probably a lot of other 2261 01:18:30,390 --> 01:18:29,040 things of interest that could that could 2262 01:18:32,229 --> 01:18:30,400 be um 2263 01:18:33,189 --> 01:18:32,239 great for anyone that's interested in 2264 01:18:35,270 --> 01:18:33,199 life 2265 01:18:38,310 --> 01:18:35,280 so i think yes earth would be of 2266 01:18:40,229 --> 01:18:38,320 interest and um and i think human beings 2267 01:18:42,470 --> 01:18:40,239 would be of great interest you know it's 2268 01:18:43,750 --> 01:18:42,480 easy to denigrate ourselves 2269 01:18:45,270 --> 01:18:43,760 but we're 2270 01:18:47,430 --> 01:18:45,280 when you step back and look at us we're 2271 01:18:48,870 --> 01:18:47,440 really fascinating creatures we have we 2272 01:18:51,030 --> 01:18:48,880 have significant intelligence we have 2273 01:18:53,430 --> 01:18:51,040 enough intelligence that we can conceive 2274 01:18:57,270 --> 01:18:53,440 of some incredible things 2275 01:18:59,189 --> 01:18:57,280 and we also have a an ability i think 2276 01:19:01,189 --> 01:18:59,199 to go beyond the senses that we're 2277 01:19:02,550 --> 01:19:01,199 accustomed to having and i think maybe 2278 01:19:04,470 --> 01:19:02,560 other creatures would be aware of that 2279 01:19:05,830 --> 01:19:04,480 as well so i think we'd be of interest 2280 01:19:08,070 --> 01:19:05,840 to them 2281 01:19:10,070 --> 01:19:08,080 and when you go when i talk about 2282 01:19:11,669 --> 01:19:10,080 ancient aliens and i did use that title 2283 01:19:14,390 --> 01:19:11,679 for the chapters because i thought why 2284 01:19:16,149 --> 01:19:14,400 not right but 2285 01:19:19,270 --> 01:19:16,159 you know we have to look at what is the 2286 01:19:20,149 --> 01:19:19,280 evidence that is available to us to um 2287 01:19:22,950 --> 01:19:20,159 to 2288 01:19:24,790 --> 01:19:22,960 promote this argument it is it's logical 2289 01:19:26,310 --> 01:19:24,800 to us to assume that something like this 2290 01:19:27,669 --> 01:19:26,320 happened i think it did 2291 01:19:30,630 --> 01:19:27,679 also 2292 01:19:33,030 --> 01:19:30,640 quality of the evidence one of my 2293 01:19:35,430 --> 01:19:33,040 quibbles or beefs with uh 2294 01:19:37,030 --> 01:19:35,440 some of the ancient alien ideas is that 2295 01:19:39,430 --> 01:19:37,040 i'm just not impressed by the quality of 2296 01:19:41,030 --> 01:19:39,440 some of the evidence that is put forward 2297 01:19:42,709 --> 01:19:41,040 for some of these arguments on the other 2298 01:19:45,270 --> 01:19:42,719 hand i'm i am impressed by other 2299 01:19:47,110 --> 01:19:45,280 arguments for it and give me one one 2300 01:19:49,270 --> 01:19:47,120 point 2301 01:19:51,830 --> 01:19:49,280 well one there's something that stands 2302 01:19:53,350 --> 01:19:51,840 out as far as i've got a few but uh yeah 2303 01:19:55,270 --> 01:19:53,360 i'm so do i well let's talk about 2304 01:19:57,830 --> 01:19:55,280 pyramids and we can start with the great 2305 01:19:59,350 --> 01:19:57,840 paramedic giza go right there and we can 2306 01:20:02,070 --> 01:19:59,360 go from there to the existence that 2307 01:20:04,870 --> 01:20:02,080 we're now really just in the last decade 2308 01:20:06,790 --> 01:20:04,880 finally appreciating is the expanse of 2309 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:06,800 pyramids around the world 2310 01:20:10,229 --> 01:20:08,400 um i think that that does mean something 2311 01:20:12,070 --> 01:20:10,239 when i look at the great pyramid i i 2312 01:20:14,950 --> 01:20:12,080 have a personal fascination for that and 2313 01:20:17,750 --> 01:20:14,960 i'm sure a lot of people here do as well 2314 01:20:19,590 --> 01:20:17,760 and um in my own readings it just 2315 01:20:21,189 --> 01:20:19,600 it's a mind-blowing experience when you 2316 01:20:23,350 --> 01:20:21,199 look at the mathematics the engineering 2317 01:20:25,270 --> 01:20:23,360 the sheer 2318 01:20:26,950 --> 01:20:25,280 magnitude of what that 2319 01:20:30,709 --> 01:20:26,960 object is in particular when it was 2320 01:20:33,270 --> 01:20:30,719 originally con built with um 2321 01:20:34,790 --> 01:20:33,280 with um 2322 01:20:36,790 --> 01:20:34,800 yeah um 2323 01:20:38,470 --> 01:20:36,800 what's the that not i was just gonna say 2324 01:20:39,990 --> 01:20:38,480 ivory but it's white it's uh it's 2325 01:20:41,910 --> 01:20:40,000 limestone covered 2326 01:20:43,830 --> 01:20:41,920 yes yes i mean it had to look just like 2327 01:20:45,270 --> 01:20:43,840 an unbelievable that limestone stayed 2328 01:20:46,870 --> 01:20:45,280 until an earthquake knocked it off in 2329 01:20:48,470 --> 01:20:46,880 the i think the 10th or 11th century and 2330 01:20:50,229 --> 01:20:48,480 they built the city of cairo with that 2331 01:20:52,790 --> 01:20:50,239 yeah 2332 01:20:54,870 --> 01:20:52,800 so the construction of this is to say 2333 01:20:56,709 --> 01:20:54,880 off the charts doesn't do it justice and 2334 01:20:59,030 --> 01:20:56,719 uh it doesn't also make any sense to me 2335 01:21:01,270 --> 01:20:59,040 that we're talking 2500 bc egypt so 2336 01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:01,280 there's a there's a question there 2337 01:21:03,830 --> 01:21:02,400 and then 2338 01:21:06,149 --> 01:21:03,840 and you can look at other aspects of 2339 01:21:07,910 --> 01:21:06,159 that pyramid and you can you can make a 2340 01:21:10,229 --> 01:21:07,920 strong argument that the creators of 2341 01:21:11,910 --> 01:21:10,239 that pyramid knew the earth was a sphere 2342 01:21:13,430 --> 01:21:11,920 that's right that they knew that the 2343 01:21:15,510 --> 01:21:13,440 diameter and circumference of the earth 2344 01:21:17,189 --> 01:21:15,520 and and again this is a complex 2345 01:21:19,270 --> 01:21:17,199 mathematical issue but it all really 2346 01:21:21,110 --> 01:21:19,280 makes perfect sense when you study it 2347 01:21:23,350 --> 01:21:21,120 so there's an intelligence there that is 2348 01:21:25,430 --> 01:21:23,360 vastly beyond anything that the ancient 2349 01:21:27,270 --> 01:21:25,440 world is supposed to have had one of the 2350 01:21:29,510 --> 01:21:27,280 things and i just had 2351 01:21:31,990 --> 01:21:29,520 uh robert shock on the show uh last 2352 01:21:33,350 --> 01:21:32,000 friday and it was one of the best 2353 01:21:35,830 --> 01:21:33,360 experiences 2354 01:21:37,990 --> 01:21:35,840 and and i posed this question to him and 2355 01:21:39,590 --> 01:21:38,000 i and i i'll hit you with it right now 2356 01:21:42,550 --> 01:21:39,600 which is this 2357 01:21:45,510 --> 01:21:42,560 the the orthodoxy archaeologists out 2358 01:21:47,910 --> 01:21:45,520 there and egyptologists too as well 2359 01:21:49,270 --> 01:21:47,920 want us to swallow this pill and this is 2360 01:21:54,950 --> 01:21:49,280 the pill 2361 01:21:57,830 --> 01:21:54,960 that between 10 000 bc and 2500 bc we 2362 01:22:00,470 --> 01:21:57,840 were stupid as rocks 2363 01:22:03,030 --> 01:22:00,480 okay we're walking around with with with 2364 01:22:05,669 --> 01:22:03,040 skins on and a club and we're forging 2365 01:22:07,430 --> 01:22:05,679 for seeds in the desert 2366 01:22:09,510 --> 01:22:07,440 you know on a daily basis no 2367 01:22:12,310 --> 01:22:09,520 organization no civilization no farms 2368 01:22:13,350 --> 01:22:12,320 know nothing and then suddenly 2369 01:22:15,669 --> 01:22:13,360 bing 2370 01:22:17,350 --> 01:22:15,679 we built the pyramids and we cross it's 2371 01:22:19,189 --> 01:22:17,360 like one day 2372 01:22:22,229 --> 01:22:19,199 we had the intelligence and we knew what 2373 01:22:25,110 --> 01:22:22,239 pie was the circumference of the earth 2374 01:22:26,470 --> 01:22:25,120 true north yeah mathematics 2375 01:22:29,910 --> 01:22:26,480 language 2376 01:22:33,030 --> 01:22:29,920 uh religion structure social structure 2377 01:22:34,790 --> 01:22:33,040 farming it all happened overnight and 2378 01:22:36,870 --> 01:22:34,800 that's where i have a problem and i have 2379 01:22:38,790 --> 01:22:36,880 a big problem with it yeah i'm a little 2380 01:22:40,470 --> 01:22:38,800 more on the fence as to how how that 2381 01:22:42,149 --> 01:22:40,480 happened um 2382 01:22:43,750 --> 01:22:42,159 did it was it a natural development or 2383 01:22:46,229 --> 01:22:43,760 not you have the city of goblet 2384 01:22:49,270 --> 01:22:46,239 tepe which is actually uh pretty darn 2385 01:22:51,510 --> 01:22:49,280 old 12 000 years um 2386 01:22:52,550 --> 01:22:51,520 and a lot of other uh ancient cities 2387 01:22:54,390 --> 01:22:52,560 jericho 2388 01:22:55,750 --> 01:22:54,400 nearly as old and a few others that are 2389 01:22:57,430 --> 01:22:55,760 um 2390 01:22:59,750 --> 01:22:57,440 you know that you you can easily argue 2391 01:23:01,430 --> 01:22:59,760 this is this is human development you 2392 01:23:02,950 --> 01:23:01,440 might make the argument 2393 01:23:04,470 --> 01:23:02,960 i don't really know what i would say is 2394 01:23:06,149 --> 01:23:04,480 what i'd like to say is that we have a 2395 01:23:08,470 --> 01:23:06,159 hole in our ancient history that there 2396 01:23:10,550 --> 01:23:08,480 is i think very strong reason to argue 2397 01:23:13,110 --> 01:23:10,560 that there were advanced intelligence 2398 01:23:14,950 --> 01:23:13,120 it's like it's like that big yeah 2399 01:23:16,790 --> 01:23:14,960 and argument and then the pyramids 2400 01:23:18,550 --> 01:23:16,800 globally by the way which we didn't 2401 01:23:19,990 --> 01:23:18,560 really get into and i'm not as expert as 2402 01:23:22,229 --> 01:23:20,000 some other people but i do think that 2403 01:23:23,510 --> 01:23:22,239 it's it's a good 2404 01:23:24,709 --> 01:23:23,520 starting point for an argument to look 2405 01:23:26,790 --> 01:23:24,719 at the relationship of all of these 2406 01:23:27,990 --> 01:23:26,800 pyramids around the world do you think 2407 01:23:30,229 --> 01:23:28,000 that there might have been some 2408 01:23:32,790 --> 01:23:30,239 intervention 2409 01:23:35,030 --> 01:23:32,800 i think i think so um i think even when 2410 01:23:37,189 --> 01:23:35,040 you look at us on an evolutionary scale 2411 01:23:39,270 --> 01:23:37,199 human evolution proceeded so 2412 01:23:40,870 --> 01:23:39,280 unbelievably rapidly 2413 01:23:42,950 --> 01:23:40,880 think about the shark 2414 01:23:44,629 --> 01:23:42,960 shark is the same as it was you know 50 2415 01:23:47,189 --> 01:23:44,639 plus million years ago 2416 01:23:50,629 --> 01:23:47,199 human beings didn't exist as a as 2417 01:23:52,790 --> 01:23:50,639 hominids did not exist until you know 2418 01:23:54,310 --> 01:23:52,800 four or five million years ago 2419 01:23:55,669 --> 01:23:54,320 when we were there were little chimps 2420 01:23:58,310 --> 01:23:55,679 that could stand up 2421 01:24:01,430 --> 01:23:58,320 basically and in a room really an 2422 01:24:03,510 --> 01:24:01,440 incredibly short period of time 2423 01:24:05,669 --> 01:24:03,520 as far as we can tell if we you know 2424 01:24:08,470 --> 01:24:05,679 evolutionists that 2425 01:24:10,470 --> 01:24:08,480 change was really quite dramatic 2426 01:24:12,390 --> 01:24:10,480 even a simple one million years ago with 2427 01:24:15,030 --> 01:24:12,400 uh like homo erectus and those types of 2428 01:24:16,470 --> 01:24:15,040 creatures that's 2429 01:24:18,870 --> 01:24:16,480 rapid development 2430 01:24:21,030 --> 01:24:18,880 in evolutionary geologic history so 2431 01:24:23,350 --> 01:24:21,040 where we tweaked i had an old friend uh 2432 01:24:25,030 --> 01:24:23,360 recently died a woman in rochester new 2433 01:24:26,390 --> 01:24:25,040 york where i live who studied this in 2434 01:24:27,830 --> 01:24:26,400 great detail her name was colleen 2435 01:24:31,030 --> 01:24:27,840 clements 2436 01:24:33,990 --> 01:24:31,040 she um looked at a lot of research in 2437 01:24:37,189 --> 01:24:34,000 human brain development in uh 2438 01:24:38,470 --> 01:24:37,199 from like 80 000 to like 50 000 years 2439 01:24:41,750 --> 01:24:38,480 ago 2440 01:24:43,590 --> 01:24:41,760 and what it looks like from her research 2441 01:24:46,790 --> 01:24:43,600 was that there was a 2442 01:24:49,510 --> 01:24:46,800 an outside uh input of intelligence or 2443 01:24:51,669 --> 01:24:49,520 outside input in brain capacity in 2444 01:24:53,110 --> 01:24:51,679 certain parts of our brain that 2445 01:24:54,629 --> 01:24:53,120 did not seem to come from like 2446 01:24:56,390 --> 01:24:54,639 neanderthal genes or any of the genes 2447 01:24:59,510 --> 01:24:56,400 that were identifiable her own 2448 01:25:01,189 --> 01:24:59,520 conclusion was that it was from beyond 2449 01:25:03,750 --> 01:25:01,199 it had to be tweaked 2450 01:25:06,229 --> 01:25:03,760 you know some somebody tweaked something 2451 01:25:07,990 --> 01:25:06,239 it happened too quickly to me it just 2452 01:25:10,070 --> 01:25:08,000 happened overnight there's no other 2453 01:25:12,790 --> 01:25:10,080 example of of the kind of evolution that 2454 01:25:14,550 --> 01:25:12,800 we have on this planet no none i mean 2455 01:25:15,990 --> 01:25:14,560 it's just unbelievably rapid so on that 2456 01:25:17,669 --> 01:25:16,000 basis you could think you know we might 2457 01:25:19,430 --> 01:25:17,679 have been messed with let's move on 2458 01:25:22,390 --> 01:25:19,440 enhanced let's move on to the next 2459 01:25:23,910 --> 01:25:22,400 chapter in your book and 2460 01:25:29,590 --> 01:25:23,920 ufos 2461 01:25:32,470 --> 01:25:29,600 yeah ufo secrecy and those who fought it 2462 01:25:32,480 --> 01:25:41,350 let it out let it out let it cough 2463 01:25:45,830 --> 01:25:43,270 something went down the wrong pipe 2464 01:25:47,110 --> 01:25:45,840 it's called live radio 2465 01:25:48,790 --> 01:25:47,120 that's the great thing about live radio 2466 01:25:50,629 --> 01:25:48,800 because there's the risk of hey not 2467 01:25:52,709 --> 01:25:50,639 knowing what's going to happen um 2468 01:25:55,350 --> 01:25:52,719 watching it well really quick so you do 2469 01:25:58,550 --> 01:25:55,360 a weekly radio show yes i do i have um 2470 01:26:00,709 --> 01:25:58,560 it's internet radio it's uh we have kg 2471 01:26:02,550 --> 01:26:00,719 ra radio and um 2472 01:26:04,550 --> 01:26:02,560 i have had uh the richard dolan show for 2473 01:26:06,070 --> 01:26:04,560 a couple of years i do it once a week 2474 01:26:09,030 --> 01:26:06,080 i call it my little tap dance for the 2475 01:26:10,790 --> 01:26:09,040 world i um initially started it out for 2476 01:26:12,709 --> 01:26:10,800 three hours 2477 01:26:14,950 --> 01:26:12,719 as a uh 2478 01:26:16,629 --> 01:26:14,960 just my own little my own i almost never 2479 01:26:18,310 --> 01:26:16,639 had guests you know it would just be me 2480 01:26:20,310 --> 01:26:18,320 going out there just talking for three 2481 01:26:21,990 --> 01:26:20,320 hours if you can put up with it 2482 01:26:23,590 --> 01:26:22,000 i eventually thought i'll start having 2483 01:26:25,110 --> 01:26:23,600 some guests on there but for me it was 2484 01:26:26,950 --> 01:26:25,120 almost like an ego thing i admit i 2485 01:26:29,030 --> 01:26:26,960 thought i'm gonna do this i'm gonna do 2486 01:26:31,430 --> 01:26:29,040 three hours i'm gonna do it every week 2487 01:26:32,790 --> 01:26:31,440 it's not easy no it's tough uh 2488 01:26:35,110 --> 01:26:32,800 fortunately it was just once a week but 2489 01:26:36,629 --> 01:26:35,120 i do not two hours um but i still will 2490 01:26:38,229 --> 01:26:36,639 often do them alone or i'll have some 2491 01:26:40,470 --> 01:26:38,239 guests from time to time we do three 2492 01:26:42,870 --> 01:26:40,480 hours live four nights a week that's a 2493 01:26:47,270 --> 01:26:42,880 lot of work that's a lot of work 2494 01:26:49,510 --> 01:26:47,280 we have a good team but but my point is 2495 01:26:51,830 --> 01:26:49,520 well but my point is uh you know you 2496 01:26:54,070 --> 01:26:51,840 make it really easy and the conversation 2497 01:26:55,830 --> 01:26:54,080 is smooth oh i'm glad no thank you so 2498 01:26:57,830 --> 01:26:55,840 let's get to uh 2499 01:26:59,750 --> 01:26:57,840 uh secrecy 2500 01:27:01,830 --> 01:26:59,760 well that chapter that's uh i think the 2501 01:27:03,990 --> 01:27:01,840 third chapter um 2502 01:27:05,510 --> 01:27:04,000 oh no that's the fourth it's basically 2503 01:27:06,550 --> 01:27:05,520 um 2504 01:27:09,030 --> 01:27:06,560 part of 2505 01:27:10,709 --> 01:27:09,040 it's it's two chapters at four and five 2506 01:27:12,470 --> 01:27:10,719 that really go together 2507 01:27:14,390 --> 01:27:12,480 ufo secrecy and then what i call the 2508 01:27:15,750 --> 01:27:14,400 breakaway civilization 2509 01:27:19,590 --> 01:27:15,760 and 2510 01:27:21,510 --> 01:27:19,600 secrecy particularly for a beginner if 2511 01:27:23,189 --> 01:27:21,520 someone is not familiar with the topic 2512 01:27:24,390 --> 01:27:23,199 of ufos that's one of the people i wrote 2513 01:27:26,790 --> 01:27:24,400 this book for 2514 01:27:28,229 --> 01:27:26,800 you have to go in by degrees in my 2515 01:27:29,350 --> 01:27:28,239 opinion 2516 01:27:31,270 --> 01:27:29,360 so that 2517 01:27:33,430 --> 01:27:31,280 there's phase one of the secrecy and and 2518 01:27:35,350 --> 01:27:33,440 for me that's simply trying to explain 2519 01:27:38,149 --> 01:27:35,360 to a reader 2520 01:27:40,070 --> 01:27:38,159 the basic narrative of 2521 01:27:41,910 --> 01:27:40,080 the air force cover-up the story of 2522 01:27:43,669 --> 01:27:41,920 project blue book this story of the 2523 01:27:45,669 --> 01:27:43,679 organization called nightcap which tried 2524 01:27:46,709 --> 01:27:45,679 to fight that secrecy and ultimately 2525 01:27:48,790 --> 01:27:46,719 failed 2526 01:27:50,950 --> 01:27:48,800 and um in other words the surface 2527 01:27:53,270 --> 01:27:50,960 history of the ufo 2528 01:27:55,750 --> 01:27:53,280 controversy and cover-up that 2529 01:27:57,990 --> 01:27:55,760 that we kind of know of 2530 01:28:00,229 --> 01:27:58,000 and then the next chapter takes the same 2531 01:28:02,229 --> 01:28:00,239 period of time and goes a layer deeper 2532 01:28:04,310 --> 01:28:02,239 and tries to do deeper analysis in 2533 01:28:06,629 --> 01:28:04,320 particular of 2534 01:28:08,870 --> 01:28:06,639 acquiring exotic technology through 2535 01:28:10,070 --> 01:28:08,880 crash retrievals and that chapter does 2536 01:28:12,229 --> 01:28:10,080 it 2537 01:28:14,070 --> 01:28:12,239 you know i really try to discuss what 2538 01:28:15,350 --> 01:28:14,080 crash retrieval stories seem to be 2539 01:28:17,510 --> 01:28:15,360 legitimate or at least may have some 2540 01:28:19,830 --> 01:28:17,520 legitimacy and then once you acknowledge 2541 01:28:21,430 --> 01:28:19,840 it you've got this technology 2542 01:28:23,189 --> 01:28:21,440 what are you going to do with it 2543 01:28:25,189 --> 01:28:23,199 what's the plan 2544 01:28:26,950 --> 01:28:25,199 and that's where i get into my idea of a 2545 01:28:29,510 --> 01:28:26,960 breakaway civilization i've talked about 2546 01:28:31,669 --> 01:28:29,520 this a number of years now 2547 01:28:33,189 --> 01:28:31,679 and that's really the kind of dual theme 2548 01:28:35,110 --> 01:28:33,199 of those two chapters they really go 2549 01:28:36,629 --> 01:28:35,120 together as i see it so you got the 2550 01:28:38,149 --> 01:28:36,639 surface history 2551 01:28:41,110 --> 01:28:38,159 you know how how did this whole thing 2552 01:28:43,830 --> 01:28:41,120 develop during the 40s and 50s and 60s 2553 01:28:47,270 --> 01:28:43,840 and then um how did the deep secrecy 2554 01:28:49,270 --> 01:28:47,280 evolve as well so i do those 2555 01:28:51,830 --> 01:28:49,280 i i would like to 2556 01:28:54,790 --> 01:28:51,840 we have the time i do want to touch upon 2557 01:28:56,629 --> 01:28:54,800 the breakaway civilization theory and 2558 01:28:58,310 --> 01:28:56,639 i forget the uh what's the british 2559 01:28:59,430 --> 01:28:58,320 television series 2560 01:29:02,390 --> 01:28:59,440 uh 2561 01:29:05,510 --> 01:29:03,990 alternatives yeah alternative three 2562 01:29:07,830 --> 01:29:05,520 alternative three which i happened to 2563 01:29:11,510 --> 01:29:07,840 watch uh last month 2564 01:29:14,229 --> 01:29:11,520 um and and i want to get to that but 2565 01:29:15,270 --> 01:29:14,239 project blue book 2566 01:29:17,830 --> 01:29:15,280 for 2567 01:29:20,390 --> 01:29:17,840 most of us here myself included uh we 2568 01:29:21,270 --> 01:29:20,400 grew up with that and we believed in it 2569 01:29:24,470 --> 01:29:21,280 and 2570 01:29:26,229 --> 01:29:24,480 wanted 2571 01:29:29,750 --> 01:29:26,239 i mean i believed in it wholeheartedly 2572 01:29:32,229 --> 01:29:29,760 right and now hindsight is 2573 01:29:34,310 --> 01:29:32,239 it's it's it's a [\h__\h] yeah yeah okay 2574 01:29:37,270 --> 01:29:34,320 now we can look back and now it just 2575 01:29:40,790 --> 01:29:37,280 leaves such a bad taste in my mouth 2576 01:29:44,070 --> 01:29:40,800 and i'm still looking for swamp gas 2577 01:29:45,350 --> 01:29:44,080 you know right now i i have i have as of 2578 01:29:48,390 --> 01:29:45,360 yet 2579 01:29:51,110 --> 01:29:48,400 to see my first swamp gas no me neither 2580 01:29:52,790 --> 01:29:51,120 okay i've never seen the swamp gas 2581 01:29:54,870 --> 01:29:52,800 make any effects 2582 01:29:56,470 --> 01:29:54,880 blue book is uh one of these things that 2583 01:29:58,229 --> 01:29:56,480 i think young readers probably don't 2584 01:29:59,750 --> 01:29:58,239 even care about project blue book that 2585 01:30:01,830 --> 01:29:59,760 seems like ancient history but it really 2586 01:30:04,950 --> 01:30:01,840 is important it's interesting 2587 01:30:07,910 --> 01:30:04,960 and um you know during the 1950s and 60s 2588 01:30:09,590 --> 01:30:07,920 that was the official government's 2589 01:30:10,550 --> 01:30:09,600 investigative i'm putting that in air 2590 01:30:13,030 --> 01:30:10,560 quotes 2591 01:30:15,030 --> 01:30:13,040 a group that studied ufos and it gets 2592 01:30:16,470 --> 01:30:15,040 air quotes because i mean blue book you 2593 01:30:18,229 --> 01:30:16,480 know for most of its time had like two 2594 01:30:19,110 --> 01:30:18,239 or three people in there how are they 2595 01:30:21,030 --> 01:30:19,120 supposed to be able to do these 2596 01:30:22,950 --> 01:30:21,040 investigations of course they couldn't 2597 01:30:24,790 --> 01:30:22,960 but what their job was to do wasn't to 2598 01:30:27,030 --> 01:30:24,800 investigate it was to 2599 01:30:29,910 --> 01:30:27,040 it was to 2600 01:30:32,790 --> 01:30:29,920 talk about the ufo topic as 2601 01:30:34,310 --> 01:30:32,800 solved to the public to put this topic 2602 01:30:36,390 --> 01:30:34,320 to sleep as much as possible they were 2603 01:30:37,910 --> 01:30:36,400 never really other than one brief year 2604 01:30:40,149 --> 01:30:37,920 in 1952 2605 01:30:43,030 --> 01:30:40,159 did they ever really truly do genuine 2606 01:30:45,430 --> 01:30:43,040 investigation exactly and so 2607 01:30:47,910 --> 01:30:45,440 would you ever pick it up today and look 2608 01:30:49,910 --> 01:30:47,920 at one of the investigated cases in 2609 01:30:52,550 --> 01:30:49,920 there and 2610 01:30:56,390 --> 01:30:52,560 treated as non-fiction 2611 01:30:58,870 --> 01:30:56,400 it treated as a seriously researched 2612 01:31:00,790 --> 01:30:58,880 incident you wouldn't would you no no i 2613 01:31:02,950 --> 01:31:00,800 mean some of the accounts in the blue 2614 01:31:04,390 --> 01:31:02,960 book files are really worth uh looking 2615 01:31:06,550 --> 01:31:04,400 into but certainly not for the 2616 01:31:08,629 --> 01:31:06,560 explanations no but that's that's and 2617 01:31:10,310 --> 01:31:08,639 that's exactly my point it's what's not 2618 01:31:12,470 --> 01:31:10,320 in blue book 2619 01:31:15,110 --> 01:31:12,480 that's the best part the ones that they 2620 01:31:18,149 --> 01:31:15,120 couldn't solve but as far as anything 2621 01:31:19,750 --> 01:31:18,159 with explanation in it today it's it's 2622 01:31:21,830 --> 01:31:19,760 nearly worthless 2623 01:31:24,390 --> 01:31:21,840 no i agree and uh what we know is that 2624 01:31:26,310 --> 01:31:24,400 from the night mid 1950s on here's 2625 01:31:29,430 --> 01:31:26,320 here's a real quick story 2626 01:31:31,830 --> 01:31:29,440 so blue book had its one year of genuine 2627 01:31:34,149 --> 01:31:31,840 investigation in 1952 it was a huge year 2628 01:31:35,750 --> 01:31:34,159 for sightings in this country 2629 01:31:37,030 --> 01:31:35,760 it was also the final year of the harry 2630 01:31:38,950 --> 01:31:37,040 truman presidency it was the year 2631 01:31:40,550 --> 01:31:38,960 eisenhower got elected 2632 01:31:43,590 --> 01:31:40,560 and it was the year 2633 01:31:46,070 --> 01:31:43,600 in january 1953 2634 01:31:48,149 --> 01:31:46,080 the last weekend of harry truman's 2635 01:31:49,669 --> 01:31:48,159 presidency we had what was called the 2636 01:31:51,030 --> 01:31:49,679 robertson panel 2637 01:31:52,709 --> 01:31:51,040 and that was really the last bit of 2638 01:31:54,390 --> 01:31:52,719 house cleaning of the whole truman white 2639 01:31:55,669 --> 01:31:54,400 house years and what they were doing was 2640 01:31:58,390 --> 01:31:55,679 they were 2641 01:32:00,149 --> 01:31:58,400 packaging the ufo topic in a nice neat 2642 01:32:02,310 --> 01:32:00,159 little package for the eisenhower 2643 01:32:04,229 --> 01:32:02,320 administration so that there would not 2644 01:32:05,430 --> 01:32:04,239 be any loose ends this is how i see it 2645 01:32:08,149 --> 01:32:05,440 in other words what they did is they 2646 01:32:10,149 --> 01:32:08,159 convened a classified scientific group 2647 01:32:12,709 --> 01:32:10,159 to study ufos 2648 01:32:14,790 --> 01:32:12,719 and it was a whitewashed absolutely it 2649 01:32:16,229 --> 01:32:14,800 was why wash and what they 2650 01:32:19,189 --> 01:32:16,239 essentially did 2651 01:32:21,350 --> 01:32:19,199 was to take this topic out of most of 2652 01:32:23,110 --> 01:32:21,360 even the classified world 2653 01:32:25,669 --> 01:32:23,120 and bring it into a much more 2654 01:32:27,430 --> 01:32:25,679 restrictive environment 2655 01:32:29,990 --> 01:32:27,440 and that included gutting project blue 2656 01:32:32,310 --> 01:32:30,000 book so after the robertson panel 2657 01:32:34,229 --> 01:32:32,320 project blue book was was totally you 2658 01:32:36,629 --> 01:32:34,239 know useless 2659 01:32:38,709 --> 01:32:36,639 and what we know is that by the i think 2660 01:32:40,709 --> 01:32:38,719 1954 you know shortly after that there 2661 01:32:42,550 --> 01:32:40,719 was a directive that came right down 2662 01:32:43,990 --> 01:32:42,560 to blue book and and it made it clear 2663 01:32:46,629 --> 01:32:44,000 you are to get 2664 01:32:49,030 --> 01:32:46,639 the unknowns down from twenty percent 2665 01:32:50,550 --> 01:32:49,040 which is what they were year after year 2666 01:32:52,390 --> 01:32:50,560 down to five percent down to three 2667 01:32:53,430 --> 01:32:52,400 percent down as low as you can every 2668 01:32:55,990 --> 01:32:53,440 year 2669 01:32:57,350 --> 01:32:56,000 doesn't matter how if something is a 2670 01:32:59,430 --> 01:32:57,360 possible 2671 01:33:01,510 --> 01:32:59,440 um weather balloon then you're going to 2672 01:33:03,189 --> 01:33:01,520 say weather balloon if it's a possible 2673 01:33:05,030 --> 01:33:03,199 flock of seagulls you're going to say 2674 01:33:06,709 --> 01:33:05,040 flock of seagulls and that literally 2675 01:33:10,629 --> 01:33:06,719 became the directive so 2676 01:33:12,790 --> 01:33:10,639 the blue book statistics are worthless 2677 01:33:14,790 --> 01:33:12,800 steve morello i wanted to add something 2678 01:33:17,430 --> 01:33:14,800 a little experience here 2679 01:33:19,350 --> 01:33:17,440 in in the mufon database i know for a 2680 01:33:21,830 --> 01:33:19,360 fact that a lot of 2681 01:33:24,709 --> 01:33:21,840 um and alex can attest to this too a lot 2682 01:33:26,950 --> 01:33:24,719 of cases that were were still un open we 2683 01:33:29,510 --> 01:33:26,960 we hadn't figured out what they were 2684 01:33:31,030 --> 01:33:29,520 we're just you know that no it was it 2685 01:33:32,629 -->

01:33:37,040 mufon was doing this yeah yeah and now 2689 01:33:40,550 --> 01:33:38,639 playing the blue book game i won't say 2690 01:33:42,709 --> 01:33:40,560 who was doing it but i mean they were

because some 2694 01:33:51,270 --> 01:33:49,440 these were some of the best cases 2695 01:33:53,110 --> 01:33:51,280 you know they were open they they were 2696 01:33:55,110 --> 01:33:53,120 mysteries and we could not figure them 2697 01:33:56,470 --> 01:33:55,120 out we were still waiting for witnesses 2698 01:33:58,310 --> 01:33:56,480 to come forward we were interviewing 2699 01:34:00,229 --> 01:33:58,320 witnesses what happened we were working 2700 01:34:01,750 --> 01:34:00,239 on these cases and yet oh no you got to 2701 01:34:04,149 --> 01:34:01,760 close that out it's 2702 01:34:06,070

01:34:20,470 --> 01:34:17,120 full of a lot of very sincere people oh 2709 01:34:23,590 --> 01:34:20,480 absolutely and i i don't and and 2710 01:34:26,229 --> 01:34:23,600 this show i don't want it to turn into 2711 01:34:28,790 --> 01:34:26,239 any vehicle like that except i will i 2712 01:34:31,510 --> 01:34:28,800 will say this come on very 2713 01:34:34,390 --> 01:34:31,520 very publicly dude i have had 2714 01:34:35,750 --> 01:34:34,400 i have had more people more guests come 2715 01:34:38,790 --> 01:34:35,760 on my show 2716 01:34:40,790 --> 01:34:38,800 and just express their disappointment 2717 01:34:43,430 --> 01:34:40,800 when they tried to get something done 2718 01:34:45,669 --> 01:34:43,440 tried to speak up saw something 2719 01:34:47,510 --> 01:34:45,679 wanted to be a mufon investigator the 2720 01:34:50,310 --> 01:34:47,520 list goes on and on and on and the 2721 01:34:53,110 --> 01:34:50,320 disappointment that they had with it um 2722 01:34:55,430 --> 01:34:53,120 and it's not about professionalism i 2723 01:34:57,669 --> 01:34:55,440 think they were it's more about training 2724 01:34:59,270 --> 01:34:57,679 and and what an investigator is expected 2725 01:35:01,750 --> 01:34:59,280 to do 2726 01:35:03,830 --> 01:35:01,760 manpower as well i mean they can't cover 2727 01:35:05,590 --> 01:35:03,840 every case but i have had guests on my 2728 01:35:08,470 --> 01:35:05,600 show it's it's it's almost every single 2729 01:35:10,310 --> 01:35:08,480 night uh the disappointment in move font 2730 01:35:11,590 --> 01:35:10,320 so it's a 40-year plan pattern it 2731 01:35:12,390 --> 01:35:11,600 doesn't change 2732 01:35:13,830 --> 01:35:12,400 and 2733 01:35:15,350 --> 01:35:13,840 all i'll just say is look this is an 2734 01:35:18,149 --> 01:35:15,360 organization that's existed since the 2735 01:35:19,990 --> 01:35:18,159 late 60s ufos are 2736 01:35:21,669 --> 01:35:20,000 the second i think the second most 2737 01:35:24,070 --> 01:35:21,679 popular topic on the internet every 2738 01:35:25,990 --> 01:35:24,080 everything's second to porn but ufos has 2739 01:35:28,870 --> 01:35:26,000 been there right from the beginning and 2740 01:35:30,550 --> 01:35:28,880 is incredibly popular and yet look let's 2741 01:35:33,830 --> 01:35:30,560 face it mufon's membership has been a 2742 01:35:35,110 --> 01:35:33,840 2000 forever i mean they can't why why 2743 01:35:37,270 --> 01:35:35,120 you have um 2744 01:35:39,189 --> 01:35:37,280 organizations that um i mean coast to 2745 01:35:40,229 --> 01:35:39,199 coast gets millions of listeners every 2746 01:35:41,830 --> 01:35:40,239 night you have 2747 01:35:43,430 --> 01:35:41,840 other radio programs like your own that 2748 01:35:45,910 --> 01:35:43,440 blows there's you certainly get more 2749 01:35:47,590 --> 01:35:45,920 than 2 000 listeners every time yes so 2750 01:35:51,669 --> 01:35:47,600 where what's what's going on with the 2751 01:35:53,189 --> 01:35:51,679 mufon um situation and why is it just so 2752 01:35:54,709 --> 01:35:53,199 obviously stagnant why do you have all 2753 01:35:56,149 --> 01:35:54,719 of these people talking about 2754 01:35:58,790 --> 01:35:56,159 information that goes in doesn't come 2755 01:36:00,950 --> 01:35:58,800 out and and the last thing i'll just say 2756 01:36:02,790 --> 01:36:00,960 is that they have a beef with me i'm 2757 01:36:04,149 --> 01:36:02,800 sure because the last i used to speak at 2758 01:36:07,030 --> 01:36:04,159 many of the mufon international 2759 01:36:08,629 --> 01:36:07,040 symposium last one i spoke out was three 2760 01:36:10,390 --> 01:36:08,639 years ago 2761 01:36:12,790 --> 01:36:10,400 and i haven't been invited back since 2762 01:36:15,189 --> 01:36:12,800 and i know why because i 2763 01:36:16,870 --> 01:36:15,199 just shocked the leadership at the time 2764 01:36:18,950 --> 01:36:16,880 by talking about the need for mufon to 2765 01:36:21,430 --> 01:36:18,960 reform the last 15 minutes of my own 2766 01:36:24,390 --> 01:36:21,440 talk and i they were not happy 2767 01:36:25,270 --> 01:36:24,400 very not very very very not happy i had 2768 01:36:26,709 --> 01:36:25,280 a 2769 01:36:30,229 --> 01:36:26,719 uh 2770 01:36:32,950 --> 01:36:30,239 i had a guest on antonio paris okay 2771 01:36:35,990 --> 01:36:32,960 uh and i'm sure you know antonio had him 2772 01:36:37,750 --> 01:36:36,000 on uh he runs an organization called api 2773 01:36:38,550 --> 01:36:37,760 i don't know him personally but you know 2774 01:36:40,390 --> 01:36:38,560 i know 2775 01:36:42,870 --> 01:36:40,400 right and he 2776 01:36:45,750 --> 01:36:42,880 he formed api because he couldn't get 2777 01:36:48,070 --> 01:36:45,760 work done at mufon and and he joined a 2778 01:36:50,629 --> 01:36:48,080 mufon he he came from he was a secret 2779 01:36:53,189 --> 01:36:50,639 agent you know 20 years of 2780 01:36:54,950 --> 01:36:53,199 of secret agent work in in the 2781 01:36:57,109 --> 01:36:54,960 government and he came out and he really 2782 01:36:59,270 --> 01:36:57,119 wanted to go you know uh balls to the 2783 01:37:01,189 --> 01:36:59,280 wall on the ufo subject and really go do 2784 01:37:03,270 --> 01:37:01,199 some hardcore investigating 2785 01:37:06,149 --> 01:37:03,280 didn't do anything and i think this was 2786 01:37:08,310 --> 01:37:06,159 in washington dc at that move on but uh 2787 01:37:10,709 --> 01:37:08,320 and so now we started api just like 2788 01:37:12,709 --> 01:37:10,719 steve is as started i'm just going to go 2789 01:37:14,629 --> 01:37:12,719 on a limb and lay my own analysis down a 2790 01:37:16,870 --> 01:37:14,639 bit and i can be very succinct you have 2791 01:37:19,350 --> 01:37:16,880 through the cold war the cia we know 2792 01:37:21,430 --> 01:37:19,360 this this is not speculation cia 2793 01:37:23,109 --> 01:37:21,440 controlled many many 2794 01:37:24,790 --> 01:37:23,119 uh over 2795 01:37:25,910 --> 01:37:24,800 organizations that were supposed to be 2796 01:37:27,830 --> 01:37:25,920 private 2797 01:37:30,310 --> 01:37:27,840 non-profit whatever and they were 2798 01:37:32,149 --> 01:37:30,320 totally cia creations and controlled 2799 01:37:33,750 --> 01:37:32,159 liberal conservative didn't matter what 2800 01:37:35,990 --> 01:37:33,760 they were doing was controlling the 2801 01:37:37,750 --> 01:37:36,000 range of debate and a lot of a lot of 2802 01:37:39,189 --> 01:37:37,760 these the famous example was a group 2803 01:37:41,350 --> 01:37:39,199 called the congress for cultural freedom 2804 01:37:44,149 --> 01:37:41,360 and we know it was a cia run group 2805 01:37:45,990 --> 01:37:44,159 the leader of it was not but the second 2806 01:37:48,149 --> 01:37:46,000 in charge was and that's what we call 2807 01:37:49,990 --> 01:37:48,159 the spook spot you know you because you 2808 01:37:52,070 --> 01:37:50,000 have to have a public face on an 2809 01:37:53,830 --> 01:37:52,080 organization that's um 2810 01:37:55,350 --> 01:37:53,840 legit but then you have people behind 2811 01:37:57,510 --> 01:37:55,360 who are really running it 2812 01:37:59,109 --> 01:37:57,520 and that was the case with a number of 2813 01:38:00,390 --> 01:37:59,119 these organizations and as i say there 2814 01:38:02,470 --> 01:38:00,400 have been some studies and i cite them 2815 01:38:04,629 --> 01:38:02,480 in my new book 2816 01:38:06,070 --> 01:38:04,639 what does mufon look like mufon looks 2817 01:38:08,310 --> 01:38:06,080 exactly like that 2818 01:38:09,830 --> 01:38:08,320 i can't prove it but do you have naval 2819 01:38:12,229 --> 01:38:09,840 intelligence air force intelligence 2820 01:38:15,030 --> 01:38:12,239 military i mean dominating the 2821 01:38:16,950 --> 01:38:15,040 running of that organization forever 2822 01:38:19,030 --> 01:38:16,960 and you have an organization that was 2823 01:38:20,470 --> 01:38:19,040 overtly non-political that pulled the 2824 01:38:22,470 --> 01:38:20,480 plug out of any kind of deep political 2825 01:38:24,709 --> 01:38:22,480 analysis for years 2826 01:38:26,870 --> 01:38:24,719 and um and then you have all of these 2827 01:38:28,470 --> 01:38:26,880 statements about investigations being 2828 01:38:30,229 --> 01:38:28,480 impeded i have a very very dear friend 2829 01:38:30,950 --> 01:38:30,239 chase klitsky who ran the mufon star 2830 01:38:33,109 --> 01:38:30,960 team 2831 01:38:34,790 --> 01:38:33,119 she created their protocols she talked 2832 01:38:36,950 --> 01:38:34,800 openly about 2833 01:38:39,109 --> 01:38:36,960 how all of those key investigations were 2834 01:38:41,669 --> 01:38:39,119 compromised by 2835 01:38:44,310 --> 01:38:41,679 basically an opaque board that uh you 2836 01:38:45,750 --> 01:38:44,320 know who are these people so yes i think 2837 01:38:48,070 --> 01:38:45,760 when you put all those pieces together 2838 01:38:50,310 --> 01:38:48,080 what's the point here's the point 2839 01:38:51,669 --> 01:38:50,320 it was to be a control group for people 2840 01:38:53,109 --> 01:38:51,679 who are interested in this topic to 2841 01:38:54,470 --> 01:38:53,119 corral them to keep them in a nice 2842 01:38:56,390 --> 01:38:54,480 little pen 2843 01:38:58,950 --> 01:38:56,400 and also not to grow the organization 2844 01:39:01,510 --> 01:38:58,960 the way it should be growing it should 2845 01:39:03,109 --> 01:39:01,520 be a worldwide with an actual base and 2846 01:39:04,870 --> 01:39:03,119 what happened with la mufan let's just 2847 01:39:06,229 --> 01:39:04,880 talk about it ellie mufon was one of the 2848 01:39:09,189 --> 01:39:06,239 most active 2849 01:39:12,709 --> 01:39:09,199 best ass kicking uh mufon groups in the 2850 01:39:15,189 --> 01:39:12,719 country period and got themselves 2851 01:39:17,189 --> 01:39:15,199 right and got themselves alienated from 2852 01:39:18,950 --> 01:39:17,199 the mufon leadership why who knows why 2853 01:39:20,229 --> 01:39:18,960 steve can answer that but i think 2854 01:39:21,270 --> 01:39:20,239 because you 2855 01:39:23,910 --> 01:39:21,280 you were 2856 01:39:26,709 --> 01:39:23,920 too popular too effective 2857 01:39:28,550 --> 01:39:26,719 i don't know steve steve's declining on 2858 01:39:29,669 --> 01:39:28,560 the record he's saying no i'm happy to 2859 01:39:32,310 --> 01:39:29,679 go on the record i don't mind talking 2860 01:39:37,189 --> 01:39:32,320 about this at all um you know i'll never 2861 01:39:42,790 --> 01:39:40,229 just for the controversy if they if they 2862 01:39:44,629 --> 01:39:42,800 allow the rebuttal you know um 2863 01:39:46,550 --> 01:39:44,639 you know i think i think he got down to 2864 01:39:48,550 --> 01:39:46,560 when you said lack of leadership um 2865 01:39:50,229 --> 01:39:48,560 earlier that well steve then i'm just 2866 01:39:52,310 --> 01:39:50,239 going to ask you in front of richard in 2867 01:39:54,950 --> 01:39:52,320 the crowd did you ever feel 2868 01:39:56,709 --> 01:39:54,960 hand hog tied did you ever no here's i 2869 01:39:58,790 --> 01:39:56,719 mean it was it was a very strange thing 2870 01:40:01,830 --> 01:39:58,800 they left us to our own devices when i 2871 01:40:03,750 --> 01:40:01,840 when i inherited mufon la um 2872 01:40:06,629 --> 01:40:03,760 we had nothing in the bank we went maybe 2873 01:40:08,310 --> 01:40:06,639 a couple hundred bucks and uh you know i 2874 01:40:10,070 --> 01:40:08,320 had some really good people that that 2875 01:40:12,950 --> 01:40:10,080 stayed on the board and we were able to 2876 01:40:14,390 --> 01:40:12,960 keep it going and through 13 years of it 2877 01:40:16,709 --> 01:40:14,400 and built the account up and all that 2878 01:40:18,229 --> 01:40:16,719 and we had you know we built up a crowd 2879 01:40:20,229 --> 01:40:18,239 you know when i was first coming to 2880 01:40:22,629 --> 01:40:20,239 mufon uh meetings there were just maybe 2881 01:40:26,390 --> 01:40:22,639 a half of this room coming and all 2882 01:40:28,629 --> 01:40:26,400 anyway i mean we just kept it going but 2883 01:40:30,629 --> 01:40:28,639 for most of that there was no leadership 2884 01:40:32,709 --> 01:40:30,639 there was no direction there was no 2885 01:40:35,669 --> 01:40:32,719 you know i mean here you have an 2886 01:40:38,870 --> 01:40:35,679 international organization supposedly 2887 01:40:40,390 --> 01:40:38,880 they should have a direction of vision 2888 01:40:42,550 --> 01:40:40,400 nothing was ever communicated in fact i 2889 01:40:45,189 --> 01:40:42,560 never heard from my my boss 2890 01:40:47,430 --> 01:40:45,199 for many many many years so i was i just 2891 01:40:49,990 --> 01:40:47,440 basically did whatever i wanted to uh 2892 01:40:51,350 --> 01:40:50,000 but we still had to investigate cases 2893 01:40:53,750 --> 01:40:51,360 through their database and with their 2894 01:40:56,070 --> 01:40:53,760 protocols and all that um 2895 01:40:57,750 --> 01:40:56,080 but yeah finally all of a sudden for 2896 01:40:59,669 --> 01:40:57,760 whatever reason my boss decided she 2897 01:41:01,030 --> 01:40:59,679 wanted to get back involved 13 years 2898 01:41:03,990 --> 01:41:01,040 later she wanted to get back into the 2899 01:41:05,430 --> 01:41:04,000 game and she started harassing the field 2900 01:41:07,030 --> 01:41:05,440 investigators 2901 01:41:08,470 --> 01:41:07,040 to the point where 2902 01:41:10,550 --> 01:41:08,480 alex who was the director of field 2903 01:41:13,750 --> 01:41:10,560 investigation stood up to her and then 2904 01:41:15,430 --> 01:41:13,760 she had him removed and then without 2905 01:41:16,629 --> 01:41:15,440 asking me or any kind of 2906 01:41:18,550 --> 01:41:16,639 you know 2907 01:41:21,189 --> 01:41:18,560 not even a phone call or an email just 2908 01:41:22,950 --> 01:41:21,199 boom there goes alex and then so i i 2909 01:41:26,470 --> 01:41:22,960 challenged her on it and then there goes 2910 01:41:28,550 --> 01:41:26,480 me you know so that's how it went but 2911 01:41:31,109 --> 01:41:28,560 i've never i i in all those years i'd 2912 01:41:33,350 --> 01:41:31,119 never been impressed with any kind of 2913 01:41:35,910 --> 01:41:33,360 leadership um 2914 01:41:37,510 --> 01:41:35,920 you know i'd gone to the conferences and 2915 01:41:39,270 --> 01:41:37,520 you know i mean if you're the 2916 01:41:41,109 --> 01:41:39,280 international head of mufon you want to 2917 01:41:42,790 --> 01:41:41,119 meet your chapters and shake hands at 2918 01:41:44,390 --> 01:41:42,800 least there was none of that i mean it 2919 01:41:46,310 --> 01:41:44,400 was basically you're on your own you 2920 01:41:47,430 --> 01:41:46,320 know there's there's just nothing there 2921 01:41:49,430 --> 01:41:47,440 and um 2922 01:41:51,270 --> 01:41:49,440 i would love to see that change if it's 2923 01:41:53,669 --> 01:41:51,280 not mufon it's you know something 2924 01:41:56,550 --> 01:41:53,679 legitimate that really wants to look at 2925 01:41:59,189 --> 01:41:56,560 the phenomenon you know didn't didn't uh 2926 01:42:00,870 --> 01:41:59,199 and both of you can touch upon this but 2927 01:42:03,109 --> 01:42:00,880 weren't these the same concerns that 2928 01:42:08,070 --> 01:42:03,119 bigelow had 2929 01:42:09,910 --> 01:42:08,080 concerns about mufon yes 2930 01:42:12,229 --> 01:42:09,920 well that's that's a messy issue the 2931 01:42:13,669 --> 01:42:12,239 whole mufon bigelow connection and uh i 2932 01:42:16,229 --> 01:42:13,679 mean 2933 01:42:17,750 --> 01:42:16,239 it seems to me that that um we don't 2934 01:42:19,430 --> 01:42:17,760 have to open the door to this on this 2935 01:42:21,350 --> 01:42:19,440 show i don't know if i have all of the 2936 01:42:22,709 --> 01:42:21,360 answers and i'm so i'm hesitant to jump 2937 01:42:24,870 --> 01:42:22,719 in on it it's something that i'm still 2938 01:42:26,870 --> 01:42:24,880 actively looking into yeah myself 2939 01:42:28,390 --> 01:42:26,880 included i'd like to get him on the show 2940 01:42:29,830 --> 01:42:28,400 and not to do an end run we can return 2941 01:42:31,350 --> 01:42:29,840 to it but i just want to point out that 2942 01:42:32,629 --> 01:42:31,360 mufon is not the only example of 2943 01:42:34,149 --> 01:42:32,639 probable intelligence community 2944 01:42:36,550 --> 01:42:34,159 infiltration you have 2945 01:42:38,229 --> 01:42:36,560 known examples of prior ufo groups the 2946 01:42:40,870 --> 01:42:38,239 apro aerial research phenomena 2947 01:42:44,470 --> 01:42:40,880 organization infiltrated absolutely by 2948 01:42:46,390 --> 01:42:44,480 intel nycap uh the powerhouse of the 50s 2949 01:42:50,229 --> 01:42:46,400 and 60s trying to end ufo secrecy 2950 01:42:52,229 --> 01:42:50,239 clearly decimated by uh cia individuals 2951 01:42:53,109 --> 01:42:52,239 at the end of its of its career so we 2952 01:42:55,830 --> 01:42:53,119 know 2953 01:42:57,430 --> 01:42:55,840 this is an example and it just it seems 2954 01:42:58,709 --> 01:42:57,440 ridiculous to think that mufon's going 2955 01:43:01,510 --> 01:42:58,719 to be immune from it's the most 2956 01:43:03,030 --> 01:43:01,520 prominent ufo organization in the u.s so 2957 01:43:05,350 --> 01:43:03,040 i think they'll be targeting i have a 2958 01:43:06,390 --> 01:43:05,360 bunch of questions that have come in uh 2959 01:43:08,470 --> 01:43:06,400 on the uh 2960 01:43:11,109 --> 01:43:08,480 on the internet here's this this one's 2961 01:43:12,950 --> 01:43:11,119 from renee and it's really good she says 2962 01:43:15,830 --> 01:43:12,960 why are we concentrating too much on the 2963 01:43:18,070 --> 01:43:15,840 specifics of sightings and evidence 2964 01:43:20,550 --> 01:43:18,080 and the physical realities of the et's 2965 01:43:22,470 --> 01:43:20,560 in their craft rather than the messages 2966 01:43:24,790 --> 01:43:22,480 that they are sending 2967 01:43:26,229 --> 01:43:24,800 well i would say that um you know we 2968 01:43:28,550 --> 01:43:26,239 want to look at everything we want to 2969 01:43:30,310 --> 01:43:28,560 look at the sum total of everything 2970 01:43:33,109 --> 01:43:30,320 the reason i i still think it is 2971 01:43:34,709 --> 01:43:33,119 important to look at the data 2972 01:43:37,430 --> 01:43:34,719 is because without 2973 01:43:39,669 --> 01:43:37,440 without really good verified data 2974 01:43:40,950 --> 01:43:39,679 as i would often say talk is cheap it's 2975 01:43:42,950 --> 01:43:40,960 easy for people to say anything they 2976 01:43:46,550 --> 01:43:42,960 want if you're really going to persuade 2977 01:43:47,910 --> 01:43:46,560 a deeply skeptical world 2978 01:43:49,430 --> 01:43:47,920 that this is 2979 01:43:52,709 --> 01:43:49,440 worthy of interest 2980 01:43:54,390 --> 01:43:52,719 we actually need groups like mufon doing 2981 01:43:56,470 --> 01:43:54,400 feed on the ground investigations and 2982 01:43:59,189 --> 01:43:56,480 actually putting putting reliable 2983 01:44:00,790 --> 01:43:59,199 reports together so that they can 2984 01:44:02,950 --> 01:44:00,800 actually make a case and say look this 2985 01:44:04,550 --> 01:44:02,960 is what's going on exactly uh you know 2986 01:44:06,470 --> 01:44:04,560 youtube video alone i gotta do squat 2987 01:44:08,229 --> 01:44:06,480 that's that's nothing that doesn't count 2988 01:44:11,430 --> 01:44:08,239 as evidence anymore unfortunately you 2989 01:44:13,189 --> 01:44:11,440 have to have you have to have a lot of 2990 01:44:14,629 --> 01:44:13,199 testimony put together you have to make 2991 01:44:17,350 --> 01:44:14,639 a case 2992 01:44:18,790 --> 01:44:17,360 and and so it's necessary sorry but you 2993 01:44:21,750 --> 01:44:18,800 have to get in you get your hands dirty 2994 01:44:23,270 --> 01:44:21,760 and do investigation now messages uh 2995 01:44:25,669 --> 01:44:23,280 this individual i don't want to presume 2996 01:44:27,350 --> 01:44:25,679 but perhaps uh she's referring to 2997 01:44:29,510 --> 01:44:27,360 messages that people have gotten from 2998 01:44:31,510 --> 01:44:29,520 beings or that they believe that they've 2999 01:44:33,189 --> 01:44:31,520 gone from beings 3000 01:44:34,870 --> 01:44:33,199 i think that that's 3001 01:44:36,550 --> 01:44:34,880 an important part of it is something 3002 01:44:38,390 --> 01:44:36,560 that i also i try to deal with in this 3003 01:44:40,390 --> 01:44:38,400 book there are many many people who've 3004 01:44:41,910 --> 01:44:40,400 gotten what they believe 3005 01:44:43,350 --> 01:44:41,920 are what they might call downloads or 3006 01:44:45,830 --> 01:44:43,360 they may believe that they've had direct 3007 01:44:48,390 --> 01:44:45,840 communication with with um entities of 3008 01:44:50,070 --> 01:44:48,400 one sort or another that's a fascinating 3009 01:44:51,910 --> 01:44:50,080 and important part 3010 01:44:53,990 --> 01:44:51,920 of this topic 3011 01:44:58,470 --> 01:44:54,000 and we don't want to ignore it but we 3012 01:45:01,590 --> 01:45:00,149 those messages may 3013 01:45:03,030 --> 01:45:01,600 or may not be accurate and they may or 3014 01:45:04,709 --> 01:45:03,040 may not be truthful 3015 01:45:06,790 --> 01:45:04,719 ask yourself a question if you're going 3016 01:45:08,790 --> 01:45:06,800 back in time to another human village a 3017 01:45:11,910 --> 01:45:08,800 thousand years ago how much can you tell 3018 01:45:14,870 --> 01:45:11,920 them about what you know nothing at all 3019 01:45:16,550 --> 01:45:14,880 no not without their heads going pop um 3020 01:45:18,229 --> 01:45:16,560 you know there's only so much that and 3021 01:45:19,750 --> 01:45:18,239 that's if we have their best intentions 3022 01:45:21,750 --> 01:45:19,760 if we didn't have their best intentions 3023 01:45:23,910 --> 01:45:21,760 we could really screw with them right so 3024 01:45:25,109 --> 01:45:23,920 assuming that other intelligences are 3025 01:45:27,109 --> 01:45:25,119 always going to be truthful in their 3026 01:45:29,350 --> 01:45:27,119 communications maybe they're telling us 3027 01:45:31,030 --> 01:45:29,360 what they think we need to know so then 3028 01:45:33,669 --> 01:45:31,040 maybe that's good enough 3029 01:45:35,910 --> 01:45:33,679 um the point is simply that 3030 01:45:37,750 --> 01:45:35,920 there are people who have talked about 3031 01:45:38,709 --> 01:45:37,760 messages there are people who let's say 3032 01:45:41,669 --> 01:45:38,719 channeled 3033 01:45:43,830 --> 01:45:41,679 message that's ever been given i think 3034 01:45:45,910 --> 01:45:43,840 you'd be a very confused person because 3035 01:45:48,390 --> 01:45:45,920 there's a very wide range 3036 01:45:50,149 --> 01:45:48,400 of what has been told and and that is 3037 01:45:51,669 --> 01:45:50,159 the problem i'm not saying it's 3038 01:45:53,910 --> 01:45:51,679 impossible that people have gotten 3039 01:45:55,669 --> 01:45:53,920 communications but i i do say we want to 3040 01:45:57,669 --> 01:45:55,679 be cautious with it 3041 01:46:00,229 --> 01:45:57,679 yeah i'd agree with it i'd agree with 3042 01:46:02,709 --> 01:46:00,239 that i mean case in point abduction you 3043 01:46:04,229 --> 01:46:02,719 know um we're here for your you know 3044 01:46:06,149 --> 01:46:04,239 well-being and we're going to help help 3045 01:46:08,790 --> 01:46:06,159 further mankind yet 3046 01:46:10,870 --> 01:46:08,800 the end result of an abductee is someone 3047 01:46:12,709 --> 01:46:10,880 who uh can become emotionally unstable 3048 01:46:16,390 --> 01:46:12,719 and their life gets ruined so how is 3049 01:46:17,990 --> 01:46:16,400 that helping them you fall um yeah so 3050 01:46:20,470 --> 01:46:18,000 there's a lot of contradictory messages 3051 01:46:22,470 --> 01:46:20,480 going on and who do you believe well 3052 01:46:25,270 --> 01:46:22,480 zoltan from the planet reticuli or the 3053 01:46:27,510 --> 01:46:25,280 next guy who's you know but you touch it 3054

01:46:36,950 --> 01:46:34,239 for anybody that wants to show that 3058 01:46:38,950 --> 01:46:36,960 somebody is unstable is bring somebody 3059 01:46:40,470 --> 01:46:38,960 in the picture that is claiming that 3060 01:46:42,629 --> 01:46:40,480 they're in a you know 3061 01:46:44,950 --> 01:46:42,639 they've been abducted well they're 3062 01:46:47,590 --> 01:46:44,960 immediately labeled because of 3063 01:46:49,510 --> 01:46:47,600 the covers of every national enquirer 3064 01:46:50,550 --> 01:46:49,520 and star magazine that these people are 3065 01:46:52,709 --> 01:46:50,560 crazy 3066 01:46:55,189 --> 01:46:52,719 and that is where it's coming from and 3067 01:46:59,350 --> 01:46:55,199 the way that organizations like mufon 3068 01:47:02,470 --> 01:47:00,950 everybody okay i

01:47:09,350 --> 01:47:07,440 another email 3073 01:47:12,229 --> 01:47:09,360 from msnbc 3074 01:47:14,149 --> 01:47:12,239 uh those guys who are speaking to you 3075 01:47:16,149 --> 01:47:14,159 richard that have told richard stuff 3076 01:47:19,430 --> 01:47:16,159 government types hinted at a possible 3077 01:47:21,430 --> 01:47:19,440 disclosure event have they hinted at a 3078 01:47:24,070 --> 01:47:21,440 possible disclosure event or have they 3079 01:47:26,229 --> 01:47:24,080 provided reasons why it is not 3080 01:47:28,149 --> 01:47:26,239 convenient to happen that's a great 3081 01:47:31,669 --> 01:47:28,159 question it is 3082 01:47:33,350 --> 01:47:31,679 i'm thinking the the few the few 3083 01:47:35,270 --> 01:47:33,360 really good conversations that i've had 3084 01:47:37,350 --> 01:47:35,280 with a couple of a couple of different 3085 01:47:38,950 --> 01:47:37,360 individuals on this 3086 01:47:41,109 --> 01:47:38,960 uh the last 3087 01:47:43,990 --> 01:47:41,119 such conversation i had i i was left 3088 01:47:45,910 --> 01:47:44,000 with the idea from this individual 3089 01:47:46,950 --> 01:47:45,920 that that's not really a good time right 3090 01:47:48,310 --> 01:47:46,960 now 3091 01:47:51,750 --> 01:47:48,320 uh 3092 01:47:53,510 --> 01:47:51,760 you know i think the fear is over oh and 3093 01:47:56,070 --> 01:47:53,520 actually i'm almost forgetting i had a 3094 01:47:57,830 --> 01:47:56,080 recent communication with 3095 01:48:01,750 --> 01:47:57,840 i haven't met this one individual but an 3096 01:48:02,950 --> 01:48:01,760 exceedingly intelligent person who had 3097 01:48:04,390 --> 01:48:02,960 seemingly i think had a lot of black 3098 01:48:06,149 --> 01:48:04,400 budget experience 3099 01:48:08,149 --> 01:48:06,159 and the argument that he said is look 3100 01:48:11,189 --> 01:48:08,159 there are too many people 3101 01:48:12,390 --> 01:48:11,199 who whose asses are on the line and uh 3102 01:48:14,390 --> 01:48:12,400 and this is really the same thing that 3103 01:48:15,590 --> 01:48:14,400 this other individual had previously 3104 01:48:16,550 --> 01:48:15,600 said to me there are people who are 3105 01:48:19,030 --> 01:48:16,560 afraid 3106 01:48:22,229 --> 01:48:19,040 of legal ramifications 3107 01:48:23,910 --> 01:48:22,239 of being uh prosecuted 3108 01:48:25,510 --> 01:48:23,920 for 3109 01:48:28,550 --> 01:48:25,520 you know what really can be argued 3110 01:48:30,550 --> 01:48:28,560 criminal withholding of um 3111 01:48:32,950 --> 01:48:30,560 of this important matter from the world 3112 01:48:35,510 --> 01:48:32,960 and um and of subverting our legal 3113 01:48:37,189 --> 01:48:35,520 system in the process of doing it 3114 01:48:38,550 --> 01:48:37,199 so i think there's a lot of there's a 3115 01:48:41,030 --> 01:48:38,560 lot of fear 3116 01:48:42,629 --> 01:48:41,040 among those people who have the sugar 3117 01:48:44,629 --> 01:48:42,639 i have been 3118 01:48:46,229 --> 01:48:44,639 given to believe that there are 3119 01:48:48,790 --> 01:48:46,239 definitely factions within that 3120 01:48:51,189 --> 01:48:48,800 community some of whom think that 3121 01:48:53,669 --> 01:48:51,199 that it is time to get this secret up 3122 01:48:55,430 --> 01:48:53,679 one individual um who was plugged into 3123 01:48:57,270 --> 01:48:55,440 this back in the late 90s so this is 3124 01:49:00,629 --> 01:48:57,280 going back a little bit now 3125 01:49:02,790 --> 01:49:00,639 but said that he came across um he had a 3126 01:49:05,270 --> 01:49:02,800 very

that there was a 3130 01:49:11,510 --> 01:49:09,600 rift 3131 01:49:12,870 --> 01:49:11,520 in the international group that was 3132 01:49:14,629 --> 01:49:12,880 managing this 3133 01:49:15,830 --> 01:49:14,639 and the rift was between those who 3134 01:49:17,270 --> 01:49:15,840 wanted to 3135 01:49:19,189 --> 01:49:17,280 give up the secret and those who didn't 3136 01:49:20,950 --> 01:49:19,199 and and it was between the younger and 3137 01:49:22,470 --> 01:49:20,960 the older generation the older 3138 01:49:25,270 --> 01:49:22,480 generation thought it was time to give 3139
