1
00:00:05,210 --> 00:00:02,180
hi this is Jimmy church have fade to

2
00:00:09,110 --> 00:00:05,220
black and coast to coast am and recently

3
00:00:13,610 --> 00:00:09,120
the National Solar Observatory was

4
00:00:15,980 --> 00:00:13,620
raided and evacuated by the FBI there

5
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:15,990
was a lot of mystery surrounding why

6
00:00:22,849 --> 00:00:19,050
they did this and what is going on in

7
00:00:26,420 --> 00:00:22,859
sunspot New Mexico with the evacuation

8
00:00:29,570 --> 00:00:26,430
and the total shutdown of information to

9
00:00:32,780 --> 00:00:29,580
the media and the public as to why they

10
00:00:36,410 --> 00:00:32,790
went in and evacuated the compound and

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:36,420
the United States Post Office right

12
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:36,930
there

13
00:00:44,690 --> 00:00:41,280
so today is September 14th 2018 and I

14
00:00:47,950 --> 00:00:44,700
interviewed ransom Godwin who went up

15
00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:47,960
two days ago on September 12th and

16
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:50,370
videotaped the compound

17
00:00:57,170 --> 00:00:54,600
what follows is his video documentation

18
00:01:00,319 --> 00:00:57,180
in the interview I conducted with him

19
00:01:02,990 --> 00:01:00,329
today does this answer all of the

20
00:01:06,170 --> 00:01:03,000
questions that we have absolutely not

21
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:06,180
but it certainly shows you exactly what

22
00:01:15,859 --> 00:01:09,030
is going on right now up at the National

23
00:01:18,580 --> 00:01:15,869
Solar Observatory what day did you the

24
00:01:22,010 --> 00:01:18,590
video was posted today September 14th

25
00:01:23,660 --> 00:01:22,020
actually I posted it yesterday yeah what

26
00:01:26,420 --> 00:01:23,670
up there filmed on the 12th I believe it

27
00:01:28,179 --> 00:01:26,430
was so okay so this was shot on

28
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:28,189
September 12th what time did you arrive

29
00:01:32,569 --> 00:01:31,110
um well you know I think it was I

30
00:01:34,399 --> 00:01:32,579
believe it was like 1:00 in the

31
00:01:35,899 --> 00:01:34,409
afternoon so I'm not mistaken I'm not

32
00:01:38,060 --> 00:01:35,909
really sure on the time it was sometime

33
00:01:39,679 --> 00:01:38,070
in the midday though because I got a

34
00:01:41,660 --> 00:01:39,689
late start and had to drive up the

35
00:01:43,370 --> 00:01:41,670
mountain when you I'm not really sure it

36
00:01:46,429 --> 00:01:43,380
was between 1:00 and 3:00 I would say

37
00:01:49,010 --> 00:01:46,439
when you first arrived there in the

38
00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:49,020
video I think you stated that there was

39
00:01:54,649 --> 00:01:52,530
a sheriff there yes there's a sheriff's

40
00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:54,659
deputy there and he seemed to be

41
00:01:59,090 --> 00:01:56,610
checking out a car that was parked on

42
00:02:03,139 --> 00:01:59,100
the road and let me tell you from living

43
00:02:05,179 --> 00:02:03,149
here he seemed very uninterested around

44
00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:05,189
here I mean I'm not trying to be mean to

45
00:02:08,419 --> 00:02:06,570
the law enforcement but they're really

46
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:08,429
pushy and nosy about what people are

47
00:02:12,170 --> 00:02:10,140
doing when they check someone out so it

48
00:02:13,790 --> 00:02:12,180
was really odd to me that he just left

49
00:02:15,860 --> 00:02:13,800
without asking me anything

50
00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:15,870
he saw me with cameras and every day and

51
00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:19,200
he just bounced so so you you proceeded

52
00:02:26,450 --> 00:02:21,660
up the hill with your son you you're

53
00:02:29,060 --> 00:02:26,460
both shooting video and the first thing

54
00:02:33,140 --> 00:02:29,070
that struck me that also struck you is

55
00:02:37,220 --> 00:02:33,150
there was nobody there no FBI no

56
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:37,230
security no security guards nothing it

57
00:02:41,690 --> 00:02:40,530
was just a virtual ghost town yeah

58
00:02:44,300 --> 00:02:41,700
that's right

59
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:44,310
you went around started to try to open

60
00:02:51,140 --> 00:02:48,690
up doors how many doors overall were

61
00:02:54,050 --> 00:02:51,150
unlocked what were you able to walk into

62
00:02:56,540 --> 00:02:54,060
and take a look around that's the thing

63
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:56,550
is I actually didn't find any unlock

64
00:03:01,040 --> 00:02:58,410
doors most of the doors from the

65
00:03:02,990 --> 00:03:01,050
observatory and the lab that I came

66
00:03:05,870 --> 00:03:03,000
across were locked so you know of course

67
00:03:08,300 --> 00:03:05,880
I didn't try to do anything else so I

68
00:03:11,990 --> 00:03:08,310
never went in any place I just looked in

69
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:12,000
the windows was the housing that you

70
00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:14,970
looked at was it emptied of any stuff or

71
00:03:20,900 --> 00:03:18,720
were the belongings still inside um all

72
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:20,910
of the places that I saw pretty much had

73
00:03:26,330 --> 00:03:23,640
you know anything that wasn't of

74
00:03:28,910 --> 00:03:26,340
immediate use was just kind of left

75
00:03:31,510 --> 00:03:28,920
there and they seemed to have taken the

76
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:31,520
time to board up most of the residences

77
00:03:36,770 --> 00:03:33,810
so you can't look inside of them

78
00:03:39,290 --> 00:03:36,780
what do you mean the windows had I mean

79
00:03:40,970 --> 00:03:39,300
like it looked like they boarded it up

80
00:03:44,570 --> 00:03:40,980
for like a hurricane or something you

81
00:03:47,449 --> 00:03:44,580
know like all of the windows had plywood

82
00:03:50,390 --> 00:03:47,459
in them so some people took some time to

83
00:03:54,820 --> 00:03:50,400
board up the houses before they left at

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:03:54,830
least and and another shot is an x-files

85
00:03:59,570 --> 00:03:58,890
DVD suspiciously on the top of a trash

86
00:04:01,510 --> 00:03:59,580
can

87
00:04:04,150 --> 00:04:01,520
yeah I thought that was funny in that

88
00:04:06,530 --> 00:04:04,160
but it is yeah it was the x-files

89
00:04:09,110 --> 00:04:06,540
ultimate access I believe it said or

90
00:04:10,850 --> 00:04:09,120
something like that or something to that

91
00:04:13,270 --> 00:04:10,860
effect but yes that was bizarre that the

92
00:04:15,830 --> 00:04:13,280
only thing that we really saw was

93
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:15,840
x-files reference kind of like somebody

94
00:04:20,030 --> 00:04:17,910
was playing a joke or leaving a clue or

95
00:04:22,730 --> 00:04:20,040
you know I'm not really sure but it was

96
00:04:24,140 --> 00:04:22,740
oddly placed on top of the trash can

97
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:24,150
right next to the window so you could

98
00:04:27,439 --> 00:04:25,890
see it one of the other things that

99
00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:27,449
struck me about

100
00:04:32,420 --> 00:04:31,080
the compound was how many vehicles were

101
00:04:34,879 --> 00:04:32,430
left behind

102
00:04:37,999 --> 00:04:34,889
how many cars and vehicles did you see I

103
00:04:39,499 --> 00:04:38,009
think about well including work vehicles

104
00:04:41,029 --> 00:04:39,509
and stuff because that's the the

105
00:04:43,219 --> 00:04:41,039
majority of the vehicles that I saw

106
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:43,229
there were all government tagged you

107
00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:44,490
know like they had the Sun SPOT

108
00:04:48,499 --> 00:04:46,650
Observatory logo on them or they were

109
00:04:51,800 --> 00:04:48,509
just a playing car with government tags

110
00:04:53,689 --> 00:04:51,810
and I would say probably four or five

111
00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:53,699
just regular cars but they did have a

112
00:04:58,070 --> 00:04:56,490
lot of work trucks equipment and a real

113
00:05:01,339 --> 00:04:58,080
bizarre thing is they have a maintenance

114
00:05:03,379 --> 00:05:01,349
garage there and the bay was open and

115
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:03,389
there's tools and all kinds of stuff in

116
00:05:07,070 --> 00:05:05,250
there but there's no one around to watch

117
00:05:09,140 --> 00:05:07,080
it so it was kind of bizarre that they

118
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:09,150
didn't even close up the I guess that's

119
00:05:12,230 --> 00:05:10,620
a maintenance bay or whatever they

120
00:05:14,510 --> 00:05:12,240
didn't even close it up or lock it up so

121
00:05:15,709 --> 00:05:14,520
it appears that anybody could go up

122
00:05:18,499 --> 00:05:15,719
there and do whatever they want

123
00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,509
including yourself or anybody else well

124
00:05:24,589 --> 00:05:21,120
this is just an opinion of mine but it

125
00:05:26,209 --> 00:05:24,599
seems to be that they're trying to you

126
00:05:27,890 --> 00:05:26,219
know kind of make it seem like it's no

127
00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,900
big deal there's nobody watching it

128
00:05:31,430 --> 00:05:29,520
there's you know like you said there's

129
00:05:32,450 --> 00:05:31,440
really no info out about it it seems

130
00:05:35,420 --> 00:05:32,460
like they're going out of their way to

131
00:05:37,159 --> 00:05:35,430
try to make it where you know it's

132
00:05:38,839 --> 00:05:37,169
nothing don't worry about it nothing's

133
00:05:40,969 --> 00:05:38,849
happening there but at the same time the

134
00:05:43,550 --> 00:05:40,979
oddness of no information make sure it

135
00:05:46,730 --> 00:05:43,560
more that much more of a mystery were

136
00:05:48,529 --> 00:05:46,740
you able to check out the computers that

137
00:05:51,159 --> 00:05:48,539
are up there condemned ones that I fall

138
00:05:53,570 --> 00:05:51,169
through the windows we're all older

139
00:05:55,820 --> 00:05:53,580
computers like I didn't see any laptops

140
00:05:58,309 --> 00:05:55,830
or anything so like anything that's real

141
00:05:59,839 --> 00:05:58,319
computers or you know hard drives or

142
00:06:00,519 --> 00:05:59,849
servers or anything like that I didn't

143
00:06:03,980 --> 00:06:00,529
see anything

144
00:06:06,019 --> 00:06:03,990
up-to-date left behind yeah and was

145
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:06,029
everything did it look disturbed like

146
00:06:09,619 --> 00:06:08,849
maybe some things were there but were

147
00:06:12,290 --> 00:06:09,629
removed

148
00:06:14,659 --> 00:06:12,300
maybe newer computers oh yeah yeah

149
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:14,669
that's there's a lot of desks in there

150
00:06:18,559 --> 00:06:16,770
and stuff like that that you could tell

151
00:06:20,659 --> 00:06:18,569
where people's workstations or whatever

152
00:06:23,149 --> 00:06:20,669
and that they're just empty now they

153
00:06:24,980 --> 00:06:23,159
took whatever they had and bounced I

154
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:24,990
wanted to ask you around some the

155
00:06:30,409 --> 00:06:27,810
reports of helicopters you live in the

156
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:30,419
area did you see any Blackhawk

157
00:06:35,629 --> 00:06:32,490
helicopters flying around yourself last

158
00:06:37,790 --> 00:06:35,639
week no I didn't but let me tell you we

159
00:06:39,420 --> 00:06:37,800
live in Otero County so to see a black

160
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:39,430
helicopters not that

161
00:06:44,190 --> 00:06:41,770
here we're next to Holloman Air Force

162
00:06:45,990 --> 00:06:44,200
Base Fort Bliss and the White Sands

163
00:06:49,350 --> 00:06:46,000
Missile Range is right next to us a

164
00:06:51,090 --> 00:06:49,360
really high amount of government money

165
00:06:53,630 --> 00:06:51,100
that's been spent in this area because

166
00:06:56,940 --> 00:06:53,640
we're also 90 miles north of the border

167
00:06:58,350 --> 00:06:56,950
there are also reports everything is a

168
00:07:01,230 --> 00:06:58,360
rumor right now

169
00:07:03,990 --> 00:07:01,240
you know alien content et contact

170
00:07:07,020 --> 00:07:04,000
something was seen by the Sun but

171
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:07,030
there's another story traveling around

172
00:07:14,370 --> 00:07:11,530
the net that the Chinese had some type

173
00:07:19,020 --> 00:07:14,380
of antenna array installed up there and

174
00:07:22,230 --> 00:07:19,030
was monitoring and spying on white sands

175
00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:22,240
did you see any evidence of anything

176
00:07:27,090 --> 00:07:23,730
like that that was out of place

177
00:07:29,010 --> 00:07:27,100
no I didn't and not only that the way

178
00:07:31,500 --> 00:07:29,020
that the mountain set up here all you

179
00:07:33,330 --> 00:07:31,510
would need is a telescopic lens and you

180
00:07:35,850 --> 00:07:33,340
know anything to watch anything in the

181
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:35,860
valley it's not hard to see the white

182
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:38,530
sands or Holloman Air Force Base a lot

183
00:07:41,700 --> 00:07:40,150
of people concentrate on the white sand

184
00:07:44,610 --> 00:07:41,710
thing because it's a little more famous

185
00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:44,620
but Holloman is actually where most of

186
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:46,690
the secret testing that they've done all

187
00:07:51,450 --> 00:07:50,530
the way back since the 50s and actually

188
00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:51,460
you know I don't know if you know

189
00:07:56,070 --> 00:07:53,410
there's a couple stories of like UFOs

190
00:07:57,810 --> 00:07:56,080
actually landing at Holloman yes and to

191
00:08:00,180 --> 00:07:57,820
see lights in the sky in this valley is

192
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,190
really not uncommon did you see anything

193
00:08:07,140 --> 00:08:02,800
up there that was left behind like food

194
00:08:10,890 --> 00:08:07,150
any any trash any evidence of of people

195
00:08:14,070 --> 00:08:10,900
being there or did they just sanitized

196
00:08:16,740 --> 00:08:14,080
the entire compound actually sanitized I

197
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:16,750
think would be a you know a correct word

198
00:08:21,060 --> 00:08:18,250
because it did look like there was a

199
00:08:23,580 --> 00:08:21,070
thorough cleaning and moving as far as

200
00:08:25,050 --> 00:08:23,590
like and one of the hallways the one

201
00:08:27,150 --> 00:08:25,060
with the x-file thing you can see that

202
00:08:28,620 --> 00:08:27,160
someone had recently mopped the floor in

203
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:28,630
there and there was footprints through

204
00:08:32,190 --> 00:08:30,490
the wet through the wet mopping that

205
00:08:34,350 --> 00:08:32,200
dried so you could see the footprints up

206
00:08:36,750 --> 00:08:34,360
and down the hall and all of the glass

207
00:08:38,730 --> 00:08:36,760
and everything is clean on all of the

208
00:08:40,950 --> 00:08:38,740
buildings like really clean so it was

209
00:08:42,390 --> 00:08:40,960
recently cleaned and there was an odd

210
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:42,400
smell there I don't know if that was a

211
00:08:46,170 --> 00:08:44,200
cleaning agent or what it was I didn't

212
00:08:47,610 --> 00:08:46,180
recognize the smell but if it was really

213
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:47,620
strong coming from all of the main

214
00:08:53,490 --> 00:08:51,130
building ultimately Ransome what do you

215
00:08:55,470 --> 00:08:53,500
think is going on here

216
00:08:58,530 --> 00:08:55,480
you know I really have no idea because

217
00:09:00,270 --> 00:08:58,540
there's such a lack of information so

218
00:09:02,850 --> 00:09:00,280
it's been there forever it's an icon in

219
00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:02,860
the area the Sun SPOT solar observatory

220
00:09:06,750 --> 00:09:05,200
everybody here knows about it and and

221
00:09:08,340 --> 00:09:06,760
then it's just up and vanished so that's

222
00:09:11,370 --> 00:09:08,350
the main thing and then the fact that

223
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:11,380
the FBI was the one shut it down you

224
00:09:14,760 --> 00:09:12,730
know it just throws out all kinds of

225
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:14,770
questions of because I believe the FBI

226
00:09:19,590 --> 00:09:17,410
does investigate extraterrestrial stuff

227
00:09:21,270 --> 00:09:19,600
or at least they used to and they also

228
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:21,280
are in charge of any kind of you know

229
00:09:26,220 --> 00:09:23,920
terrorist thing that's done through the

230
00:09:27,750 --> 00:09:26,230
mail or anything like that so it's up

231
00:09:30,540 --> 00:09:27,760
for grabs what could possibly happen

232
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:30,550
there and if there was any type of

233
00:09:37,890 --> 00:09:33,490
hazardous materials dumped into the

234
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:37,900
community wouldn't you expect the FBI or

235
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:40,330
Homeland Security or the local sheriff's

236
00:09:45,180 --> 00:09:43,300
department to keep the community

237
00:09:47,760 --> 00:09:45,190
informed about anything that was

238
00:09:49,830 --> 00:09:47,770
dangerous and could affect you know the

239
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:49,840
local drinking water or the wildlife or

240
00:09:54,930 --> 00:09:53,170
anything else yeah you wouldn't you

241
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:54,940
would hope so and you would think so but

242
00:09:58,980 --> 00:09:56,770
you know I don't know it seems like the

243
00:10:01,440 --> 00:09:58,990
Sheriff's Department either genuinely

244
00:10:03,510 --> 00:10:01,450
doesn't have any idea about it or they

245
00:10:05,700 --> 00:10:03,520
were told that don't worry about it but

246
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:05,710
you know it is strange that the only bit

247
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:07,330
of security that they put up there is

248
00:10:12,120 --> 00:10:10,210
this tiny caution tape that just goes

249
00:10:13,110 --> 00:10:12,130
across the road and a small portable

250
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:13,120
stop sign

251
00:10:19,050 --> 00:10:16,480
Ransome I got a thank you man for for

252
00:10:21,870 --> 00:10:19,060
all of this and having the courage to go

253
00:10:25,290 --> 00:10:21,880
up there and shoot this amazing footage

254
00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:25,300
up at the National Solar Observatory did

255
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:27,250
somebody at the observatory see

256
00:10:32,370 --> 00:10:29,710
something was this communicated around

257
00:10:35,550 --> 00:10:32,380
the world to other observatories was it

258
00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:35,560
et was it something solar with our own

259
00:10:39,870 --> 00:10:37,690
Sun this is certainly one of the great

260
00:10:40,950 --> 00:10:39,880
mysteries playing out in real time in

261
00:10:42,660 --> 00:10:40,960
this country

262
00:10:45,270 --> 00:10:42,670
