00:04:52,860 myself because I I can't believe it's 73 00:04:58,730 --> 00:04:55,680 happening you know it's like seven years 74 00:05:01,760 --> 00:04:58,740 the better part of seven years pushing 75 00:05:05,170 --> 00:05:01,770 and shoving and there was one of the 76 00:05:09,249 --> 00:05:05,180 most challenging by a longshot 77 00:05:11,839 --> 00:05:09,259 projects I've ever been involved

confession to the 89 00:05:46,029 --> 00:05:43,020 audience along with myself in that you 90 00:05:48,860 --> 00:05:46,039 and I have been in constant contact 91 00:05:53,959 --> 00:05:48,870 about

00:07:02,400 room chair for three and a half years 120 00:07:05,659 --> 00:07:03,570 staring at the screen and that 121 00:07:10,909 --> 00:07:05,669 monotonous movement back and forth you 122

00:07:53,639 of screenings we took extensive notes we 137 00:07:57,770 --> 00:07:55,800 listened to her audience we went back to 138 00:08:01,700 --> 00:07:57,780 the drawing board you trimmed 30 minutes 139 00:08:03,499 --> 00:08:01,710 out it closed in my opinion it flows 140 00:08:05,779 --> 00:08:03,509 like Niagara Falls now I mean it's 141 00:08:07,219 --> 00:08:05,789 really gripping in fact I have a 142 00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:07,229 gentleman I've been working with Boris 143 00:08:12,740 --> 00:08:10,410 he's an online editor post-production 144 00:08:14,300 --> 00:08:12,750 calls

00:08:18,810 message just a few weeks ago he goes 148 00:08:23,839 --> 00:08:21,780 damn it this film is so hard to work on 149 00:08:26,930 --> 00:08:23,849 and I was looking to myself what is he 150 00:08:28,730 --> 00:08:26,940 talking about and he goes it's so good I 151 00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:28,740 keep forgetting that I'm trying to walk 152 00:08:34,250 --> 00:08:32,370 I'm sorry I gotta work well I've been 153 00:08:35,930 --> 00:08:34,260 working with him 25 years the first time 154 00:08:37,519 --> 00:08:35,940 he's ever said that at five films that 155 00:08:39,230 --> 00:08:37,529 I've made six films that I've made so I 156 00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:39,240 thought well this is a good sign 157 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:41,849 well that's but to see that's exactly 158 00:08:53,390 --> 00:08:48,930 the point I am a film fanatic I am a 159 00:08:58,280 --> 00:08:53,400 true fan and I study film I study film 160 00:09:01,519 --> 00:08:58,290 and I lose interest very quickly 161 00:09:03,530 --> 00:09:01,529 James if the content could be great but 162 00:09:06,079 --> 00:09:03,540 if the editing is a little bit off if 163 00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:06,089 the cinematography isn't quite there if 164 00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:07,740 there's not enough attention to the 165 00:09:15,380 --> 00:09:13,190 detail with production my mind wanders 166 00:09:18,530 --> 00:09:15,390 there's too much good content 167 00:09:22,460 --> 00:09:18,540 and the ability to and I'm talking about 168 00:09:25,820 --> 00:09:22,470 film studio quality productions can be 169 00:09:27,590 --> 00:09:25,830 done if you take the time to do it if 170 00:09:31,430 --> 00:09:27,600 that's what you want to do but this 171 00:09:35,390 --> 00:09:31,440 community is always let down in that 172 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:35,400 area right it's just it's it's okay but 173 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:37,530 we need something I can give you we need 174 00:09:42,260 --> 00:09:40,050 something to represent we need something 175 00:09:49,310 --> 00:09:42,270 to represent where where we can sit back 176 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:49,320 and go see alright we've got this you 177 00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:52,170 know let me tell you the moment I 178 00:09:58,010 --> 00:09:54,770 realized I needed to up the ante I 179 00:10:01,610 --> 00:09:58,020 worked really hard out of the blue we 180 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,620 all did and when it was finished we sold 181 00:10:05,780 --> 00:10:03,600 it to nbc/universal and I wasn't 182 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:05,790 satisfied I was like this isn't the film 183 00:10:09,650 --> 00:10:07,170 that I imagined it would be 184 00:10:11,450 --> 00:10:09,660 and the whole time it really bothered me 185 00:10:13,460 --> 00:10:11,460 but we were out of steam I think my my 186 00:10:15,440 --> 00:10:13,470 online production guy Boris lubob was 187 00:10:17,360 --> 00:10:15,450 literally in a fetal position crying his 188 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:17,370 wife's like you're killing my husband 189 00:10:22,700 --> 00:10:20,730 like stop this film is done so I just 190 00:10:24,860 --> 00:10:22,710 kind of let it go and it went out and we 191 00:10:26,750 --> 00:10:24,870 sold it made her money back and you know 192 00:10:28,070 --> 00:10:26,760 blah blah blah three years went by and 193 00:10:29,470 --> 00:10:28,080 the whole time I'm thinking that film 194 00:10:32,570 --> 00:10:29,480 wasn't the filaments they're not to make 195 00:10:33,980 --> 00:10:32,580 three years went by NBCUniversal contact 196 00:10:36,260 --> 00:10:33,990 means we're not renewing the broadcast 197 00:10:37,340 --> 00:10:36,270 option so I owned the film again I went 198 00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:37,350 back to the drawing board I spend in 199 00:10:41,330 --> 00:10:39,330 there two years on out of the blue I 200 00:10:44,180 --> 00:10:41,340 rerelease it and that was much closer 201 00:10:47,030 --> 00:10:44,190 but I still failed then I didn't I know 202 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:47,040 what I saw and I know what I saw I'm 203 00:10:49,970 --> 00:10:48,450 ever had a rough cut and I was telling 204 00:10:51,140 --> 00:10:49,980 my investors and you push and you push 205 00:10:53,090 --> 00:10:51,150 and you push and you push and you push 206 00:10:54,590 --> 00:10:53,100 and then the eventually eventually the 207 00:10:56,930 --> 00:10:54,600 investors say you know we're done here 208 00:10:58,370 --> 00:10:56,940 you keep saying that you know you need 209 00:10:59,960 --> 00:10:58,380 this much more money and then this more 210 00:11:02,750 --> 00:10:59,970 small money and you know when is this 211 00:11:05,480 --> 00:11:02,760 gonna stop we were done and I said we 212 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:05,490 can't shop the film the way it is it 213 00:11:09,650 --> 00:11:06,810 just doesn't look right you wouldn't 214 00:11:12,560 --> 00:11:09,660 take a used car and sell it dirty you'd 215 00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:12,570 get it detailed in color correction 216 00:11:19,540 --> 00:11:15,270 audio sweetening and you know and they 217 00:11:22,190 --> 00:11:19,550 didn't you know anyway it went to 218 00:11:24,350 --> 00:11:22,200 Lionsgate and Lionsgate owner loved it 219 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:24,360 this is I know what I saw and they want 220 00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:25,920 it went in all up to acquisitions and 221 00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:27,930 then the technical department looked at 222 00:11:30,349 --> 00:11:28,889 it 223 00:11:32,689 --> 00:11:30,359 and they said you know we're gonna have 224 00:11:34,220 --> 00:11:32,699 to take a pass this films is quite you 225 00:11:36,349 --> 00:11:34,230 know it's not quite up to our standards 226 00:11:37,819 --> 00:11:36,359 and so the production values are a 227 00:11:40,249 --> 00:11:37,829 little lackluster and we're gonna go 228 00:11:42,309 --> 00:11:40,259 dick pass and it was such a devastating 229 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:42,319 blow to me at the time because I thought 230 00:11:47,030 --> 00:11:44,970 you know I knew this was gonna happen 231 00:11:48,530 --> 00:11:47,040 and I just didn't have the resources and 232 00:11:51,169 --> 00:11:48,540 time to make it right 233 00:11:52,039 --> 00:11:51,179 and so I said I'll never make this 234 00:11:54,829 --> 00:11:52,049 mistake again 235 00:11:57,169 --> 00:11:54,839 so in this film when I started shooting 236 00:11:59,780 --> 00:11:57,179 this film if I didn't have the money to 237 00:12:01,669 --> 00:11:59,790 do it right I didn't do it until I had 238 00:12:03,979 --> 00:12:01,679 the money to hire lighting crews and 239 00:12:06,829 --> 00:12:03,989 audio guys I brought in this guy David 240 00:12:10,249 --> 00:12:06,839 West he's a phenomenal photographer you 241 00:12:12,109 --> 00:12:10,259 know National Geographic guy and and you 242 00:12:13,489 --> 00:12:12,119 know and I wanted it to be beautiful I 243 00:12:15,739 --> 00:12:13,499 wanted the production value to be really 244 00:12:18,319 --> 00:12:15,749 high I wanted the music to be composed I 245 00:12:20,900 --> 00:12:18,329 wanted like the color correction every 246 00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:20,910 little detail mattered I brought in this 247 00:12:24,559 --> 00:12:22,350 guy Mark Barrish he's one of the best 248 00:12:28,099 --> 00:12:24,569 writers he's like you know Harvard guy 249 00:12:31,369 --> 00:12:28,109 like super smart he's you know 1% of his 250 00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:31,379 work is UFOs and he he and I teamed up 251 00:12:35,960 --> 00:12:33,779 and he's an incredibly good writer and 252 00:12:38,479 --> 00:12:35,970 like you know I'm a decent writer this 253 00:12:39,979 --> 00:12:38,489 guy is like 10 notches above me and he 254 00:12:42,619 --> 00:12:39,989 was over my shoulder the whole time put 255 00:12:45,350 --> 00:12:42,629 this together Jacque fillet comes on 256 00:12:48,139 --> 00:12:45,360 board grinding it out in the studio with 257 00:12:50,720 --> 00:12:48,149 us weekend after weekend we had a studio 258 00:12:52,699 --> 00:12:50,730 that had no running water no toilet and 259 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:52,709 no internet okay it was like the whole 260 00:12:58,340 --> 00:12:56,970 we called it that the game but Jacques 261 00:13:00,259 --> 00:12:58,350 would come out and jocks like it's 262 00:13:02,090 --> 00:13:00,269 important to get it right and Jacques 263 00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:02,100 says stickler you know but he's he's 264 00:13:08,689 --> 00:13:06,329 right and to have all of those forces 265 00:13:11,869 --> 00:13:08,699 and all that creativity and all that 266 00:13:13,729 --> 00:13:11,879 support you know gave birth to the 267 00:13:15,470 --> 00:13:13,739 phenomenon and I'm really really proud 268 00:13:16,939 --> 00:13:15,480 of it and I'm really proud of all the 269 00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:16,949 people that were involved to get it to 270 00:13:22,989 --> 00:13:20,100 where it is I was reading through a lot 271 00:13:26,779 --> 00:13:22,999 of the comments online from people that 272 00:13:30,109 --> 00:13:26,789 were watching the trailer and and 273 00:13:33,349 --> 00:13:30,119 commenting on that and I think most the 274 00:13:36,079 --> 00:13:33,359 majority are like okay I can't wait this 275 00:13:37,850 --> 00:13:36,089 is great it looks amazing and and people 276 00:13:40,789 --> 00:13:37,860 are impressed with that as they should 277 00:13:42,590 --> 00:13:40,799 be and then there's the other comments 278 00:13:46,100 --> 00:13:42,600 which are equally as valid 279 00:13:49,520 --> 00:13:46,110 is there going to be anything new here 280 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:49,530 that is presented or is it going to be 281 00:13:55,370 --> 00:13:52,530 just more of the same for us in the UFO 282 00:13:58,700 --> 00:13:55,380 community I have seen the film and I'm 283 00:14:01,820 --> 00:13:58,710 here to tell you I learned a lot from 284 00:14:05,450 --> 00:14:01,830 this film and that's a very difficult 285 00:14:08,030 --> 00:14:05,460 thing to do isn't it and and what what 286 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:08,040 did you go through to select and find 287 00:14:13,420 --> 00:14:10,290 and get this research done to have 288 00:14:16,610 --> 00:14:13,430 something fresh to bring to the table I 289 00:14:20,270 --> 00:14:16,620 could honestly give you a 3-hour 290 00:14:23,210 --> 00:14:20,280 interview on every single clip that we 291 00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:23,220 found historical clip clip right down to 292 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:26,250 the 1978 United Nations footage that Lee 293 00:14:32,620 --> 00:14:29,130 Spiegel yes put together with you know 294 00:14:36,710 --> 00:14:32,630 Jacques Malay and dr. J Allen Hynek and 295 00:14:39,170 --> 00:14:36,720 coin the pilot equals 1975 had it in 296 00:14:41,750 --> 00:14:39,180 traumatic encounter but any case that 297 00:14:43,820 --> 00:14:41,760 footage you know Lee Spiegel organized 298 00:14:46,790 --> 00:14:43,830 the event he puts on you never there's 299 00:14:48,050 --> 00:14:46,800 no footage I never saw that before that 300 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:48,060 blew me away 301 00:14:55,220 --> 00:14:53,130 radar room the night of 1952 when the 302 00:14:57,530 --> 00:14:55,230 Capitol building was buzzed you know 303 00:15:00,440 --> 00:14:57,540 that's incredibly rare footage that was 304 00:15:02,300 --> 00:15:00,450 Tom Julian with the with project sign it 305 00:15:05,570 --> 00:15:02,310 was a mirror he came on board because of 306 00:15:08,780 --> 00:15:05,580 Jacques you know there was a you know 307 00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:08,790 Nash and Fortenberry that famous 1952 308 00:15:14,750 --> 00:15:11,490 sighting were those discs you know flew 309 00:15:16,730 --> 00:15:14,760 under the airplane having testimony from 310 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:16,740 him it really brought that to life 311 00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:18,330 we found footage at the Truman library 312 00:15:23,330 --> 00:15:20,550 that no one's ever seen Jacque footage 313 00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:23,340 of Jacques that he'd never seen and and 314 00:15:29,150 --> 00:15:25,920 that was really important to me because 315 00:15:31,070 --> 00:15:29,160 I'm like look I understand that I'm 316 00:15:33,110 --> 00:15:31,080 gonna have to give a history lesson a 317 00:15:34,660 --> 00:15:33,120 lesson because if we achieve our goal 318 00:15:36,950 --> 00:15:34,670 and penetrate a much broader audience 319 00:15:39,140 --> 00:15:36,960 they're not gonna have they're not gonna 320 00:15:41,090 --> 00:15:39,150 have the foundation the understanding of 321 00:15:42,590 --> 00:15:41,100 the phenomenon prior to this there's no 322 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:42,600 way they're gonna believe a landing 323 00:15:46,940 --> 00:15:43,890 happen in Africa at the end of the film 324 00:15:49,450 --> 00:15:46,950 no way so I had to doing it I had to do 325 00:15:51,890 --> 00:15:49,460 an educational historical perspective 326 00:15:54,530 --> 00:15:51,900 but it didn't want to do the same old 327 00:15:56,210 --> 00:15:54,540 rehash stuff or departing a fresh new 328 00:15:58,280 --> 00:15:56,220 spin like look we cover can 329 00:16:00,110 --> 00:15:58,290 Arnel but we got his daughter talking 330 00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:00,120 about it and all the documents and 331 00:16:03,950 --> 00:16:02,490 photographs and lentils letters of 332 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:03,960 correspondence routing him in the Air 333 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:06,810 Force that happened in 1947 stuff that's 334 00:16:11,540 --> 00:16:09,330 never been seen or heard of ever and so 335 00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:11,550 that is the approach that we took with 336 00:16:17,210 --> 00:16:14,850 the phenomenon and tonight right before 337 00:16:21,260 --> 00:16:17,220 I brought you one I announced everybody 338 00:16:23,060 --> 00:16:21,270 that our super-secret special surprise 339 00:16:26,860 --> 00:16:23,070 guest tonight first-time guest was going 340 00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:26,870 to be Christopher Mellon and for you to 341 00:16:34,660 --> 00:16:31,890 to be able to sit down and have very 342 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:34,670 open conversations with Chris because he 343 00:16:39,560 --> 00:16:38,490 has been in the background you know he's 344 00:16:42,310 --> 00:16:39,570 been out there's been in the background 345 00:16:46,310 --> 00:16:42,320 but we haven't heard from him directly 346 00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:46,320 you had the opportunity to do that did 347 00:16:52,310 --> 00:16:49,290 you hold back or did you go straight at 348 00:16:54,170 --> 00:16:52,320 the questions that you needed to with 349 00:16:58,220 --> 00:16:54,180 Chris because this part in the film is 350 00:17:01,610 --> 00:16:58,230 is pretty extraordinary i we spent 351 00:17:03,290 --> 00:17:01,620 several months again like it suck you I 352 00:17:04,730 --> 00:17:03,300 could go into great detail on every 353 00:17:06,650 --> 00:17:04,740 interview that we secured because every 354 00:17:08,870 --> 00:17:06,660 interview was a miracle I mean it got 355 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:08,880 within minutes of cancellation even down 356 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:12,090 to Senator Harry Reid but that was so 357 00:17:16,910 --> 00:17:15,090 precarious so tenuous miracle that we 358 00:17:22,850 --> 00:17:16,920 pulled it off and and with and with 359 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:22,860 Christopher Mellon I went right into his 360 00:17:31,550 --> 00:17:26,970 efforts to to access what the government 361 00:17:34,340 --> 00:17:31,560 knows the evidence I I didn't I just 362 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:34,350 focused on that aspect of you know his 363 00:17:39,140 --> 00:17:36,450 position his level of access that he has 364 00:17:40,910 --> 00:17:39,150 I didn't realize and this is one of the 365 00:17:41,900 --> 00:17:40,920 things we reveal in the film and he 366 00:17:44,120 --> 00:17:41,910 rebuilt it himself 367 00:17:46,340 --> 00:17:44,130 I didn't realize what a large role he 368 00:17:47,450 --> 00:17:46,350 played in getting those tapes ended up 369 00:17:49,730 --> 00:17:47,460 in the front page of the New York Times 370 00:17:50,360 --> 00:17:49,740 out of the Pentagon that was Christopher 371 00:17:54,230 --> 00:17:50,370 Mellon 372 00:17:55,550 --> 00:17:54,240 we are termed in a host of others and 373 00:17:57,770 --> 00:17:55,560 turned to fear lies where he was going 374 00:18:00,800 --> 00:17:57,780 to break the story they found a loophole 375 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:00,810 it bent ruled a little bit and they got 376 00:18:05,780 --> 00:18:02,610 those materials out of the Pentagon I 377 00:18:08,750 --> 00:18:05,790 didn't know that and that was that's 378 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:08,760 Christopher Mellon and and I also didn't 379 00:18:12,140 --> 00:18:09,570 realize 380 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:12,150 there's another really cool thing if you 381 00:18:16,700 --> 00:18:14,490 need me to shut up - sure no no go go go 382 00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:16,710 go please I didn't I I also didn't 383 00:18:19,880 --> 00:18:18,240 realize there was a really cool 384 00:18:22,820 --> 00:18:19,890 discovery when we got together because 385 00:18:24,950 --> 00:18:22,830 in the 90s I was interviewing mercury 386 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:24,960 astronaut Gordon Cooper about that 387 00:18:29,390 --> 00:18:26,370 infamous landing that happened at 388 00:18:32,180 --> 00:18:29,400 Edwards Air Force Base circa 1957 in 389 00:18:34,310 --> 00:18:32,190 which they captured this disc that 390 00:18:35,930 --> 00:18:34,320 landed on the dry lake bed back in 1957 391 00:18:39,140 --> 00:18:35,940 with you know it I don't know sixteen 392 00:18:40,910 --> 00:18:39,150 millimeter or something and my interview 393 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:40,920 I was interviewing mercury Esther about 394 00:18:44,870 --> 00:18:42,930 that and I brought that up many times in 395 00:18:46,610 --> 00:18:44,880 several films because I think it's very 396 00:18:48,500 --> 00:18:46,620 significant like that's pretty 397 00:18:51,320 --> 00:18:48,510 compelling evidence it's been hidden 398 00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:51,330 from us and I brought it up with Harry 399 00:18:56,420 --> 00:18:55,170 Reid phenomenal response and then for 400 00:18:58,460 --> 00:18:56,430 some reason I don't know I just brought 401 00:18:59,540 --> 00:18:58,470 it up with Christopher Mellon well it 402 00:19:00,110 --> 00:18:59,550 turns out during the Clinton 403 00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:00,120 administration 404 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:01,650 Christopher Mellon in an official 405 00:19:06,500 --> 00:19:04,650 capacity went after that footage with 406 00:19:07,940 --> 00:19:06,510 the Air Force like we know the school I 407 00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:07,950 believe that murder astronaut Gordon 408 00:19:11,690 --> 00:19:09,450 Cooper even came to the White House and 409 00:19:13,970 --> 00:19:11,700 talked about it with President Clinton 410 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:13,980 and and he got the green light 411 00:19:16,970 --> 00:19:15,330 Christopher Mellon got the green light 412 00:19:19,610 --> 00:19:16,980 to go after it so while I was 413 00:19:21,200 --> 00:19:19,620 interviewing Gordon Cooper in the 90s 414 00:19:22,700 --> 00:19:21,210 Christopher Mellon was going back to the 415 00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:22,710 very footage that I was you know it was 416 00:19:28,580 --> 00:19:26,610 just like this crazy coincidence you 417 00:19:32,840 --> 00:19:28,590 know and so that that made it into the 418 00:19:38,090 --> 00:19:32,850 film now I want to ask you on a personal 419 00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:38,100 level when to have John Mac first off to 420 00:19:43,820 --> 00:19:40,410 to see him on screen like that in 421 00:19:48,620 --> 00:19:43,830 high-def is is is pretty incredible but 422 00:19:53,570 --> 00:19:48,630 to see the children at such a young age 423 00:19:55,820 --> 00:19:53,580 and and to have them share their their 424 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:55,830 accounts and and the drawings and all of 425 00:20:00,980 --> 00:19:57,450 those things you know watch the film 426 00:20:04,130 --> 00:20:00,990 it's there's no spoilers here I'm not 427 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:04,140

I'm like no look 447 00:21:02,090 --> 00:20:59,100 at look at the archive footage because 448 00:21:03,500 --> 00:21:02,100 we had to pay to fly everybody in from 449 00:21:05,690 --> 00:21:03,510 all around the world and then put them 450 00:21:07,549 --> 00:21:05,700 up and then their per diem and really 451 00:21:09,799 --> 00:21:07,559 expensive and I kept saying please 452 00:21:11,870 --> 00:21:09,809 listen to me I'm telling you just look 453 00:21:13,190 --> 00:21:11,880 at this archives material it'll be worth 454 00:21:16,190 --> 00:21:13,200 it these guys have never been brought 455 00:21:19,039 --> 00:21:16,200 together in 20 years please begging him 456 00:21:21,890 --> 00:21:19,049 please anyway finally happened that came 457 00:21:23,539 --> 00:21:21,900 in from all different corners and it 458 00:21:25,850 --> 00:21:23,549 turned out that a lot of them had been 459 00:21:28,430 --> 00:21:25,860 standing next to each other during the 460 00:21:30,770 --> 00:21:28,440 encounter it's like and they hadn't seen 461 00:21:35,090 --> 00:21:30,780 each other in years like almost two 462 00:21:37,010 --> 00:21:35,100 decades and hear their accounts and 463 00:21:38,720 --> 00:21:37,020 there were things that unfortunately you 464 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:38,730 know they ended up on the Edit room 465 00:21:44,630 --> 00:21:42,690 floor and I don't know why but sometimes 466 00:21:46,130 --> 00:21:44,640 it just works out that way but one of 467 00:21:50,659 --> 00:21:46,140 the things that astonished me the most 468 00:21:51,770 --> 00:21:50,669 was that well - well they said if you've 469 00:21:54,950 --> 00:21:51,780 ever been out in the war in the 470 00:21:56,390 --> 00:21:54,960 wilderness and you come across a pretty 471 00:21:59,690 --> 00:21:56,400 rare sight you have a pretty rare 472 00:22:02,210 --> 00:21:59,700 sighting of a of a wild animal it's like 473 00:22:05,149 --> 00:22:02,220 there's this moment of curiosity and 474 00:22:07,070 --> 00:22:05,159 intrigue mystery and there the animals 475 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:07,080 stopped and you're stopped and you're 476 00:22:11,570 --> 00:22:08,970 looking into each other's eyes and 477 00:22:13,549 --> 00:22:11,580 there's just like time stops and freezes 478 00:22:15,350 --> 00:22:13,559 and it's like a totally benign 479 00:22:18,049 --> 00:22:15,360 experience but there's this curiosity 480 00:22:20,320 --> 00:22:18,059 industry and they said that's that's 481 00:22:23,270 --> 00:22:20,330 what it was like with the beans and 482 00:22:25,100 --> 00:22:23,280 there were these that didn't make it 483 00:22:27,380 --> 00:22:25,110 into the film why I don't know it just 484 00:22:29,090 --> 00:22:27,390 didn't and then the other thing was this 485 00:22:32,270 --> 00:22:29,100 is the things that that moved me 486 00:22:34,549 --> 00:22:32,280 profoundly at the time was there are 487 00:22:36,230 --> 00:22:34,559 these logs that would define the 488 00:22:37,130 --> 00:22:36,240 perimeter of the playground in Africa 489 00:22:39,260 --> 00:22:37,140 and brewers of 490 00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:39,270 with Ariel school and the children 491 00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:40,410 weren't allowed to go beyond that 492 00:22:43,130 --> 00:22:41,850 because the grass wasn't mode and they 493 00:22:45,770 --> 00:22:43,140 were dangerous snakes and spiders and 494 00:22:47,480 --> 00:22:45,780 whatnot so they would define the outer 495 00:22:49,670 --> 00:22:47,490 perimeter of the playground with these 496 00:22:51,290 --> 00:22:49,680 logs and of course children being 497 00:22:53,300 --> 00:22:51,300 children they would dance along the logs 498 00:22:56,690 --> 00:22:53,310 the outer as far as long as it you know 499 00:22:59,480 --> 00:22:56,700 you can go and these little beams 500 00:23:01,720 --> 00:22:59,490 according to the children now adults 501 00:23:05,270 --> 00:23:01,730 were saying that they were merrily 502 00:23:08,120 --> 00:23:05,280 dancing floating next to them as the 503 00:23:13,870 --> 00:23:08,130 children played on these skips on these 504 00:23:17,260 --> 00:23:13,880 logs one of the one of the statements 505 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:17,270 from one of the kids has a grown up 506 00:23:25,640 --> 00:23:21,330 really moved me and if it's such a small 507 00:23:28,400 --> 00:23:25,650 part of the film but it was the way I've 508 00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:28,410 never heard of quite this way where she 509 00:23:34,850 --> 00:23:31,920 said we were communicating 510 00:23:38,780 --> 00:23:34,860 you know telepathically but then it just 511 00:23:40,910 --> 00:23:38,790 stopped and the way that she and you 512 00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:40,920 could tell that it impacted her back 513 00:23:50,200 --> 00:23:45,570 then but today that is one of her 514 00:23:53,690 --> 00:23:50,210 memories of that is when it just stopped 515 00:23:56,660 --> 00:23:53,700 tremendous Candice moment it was at 516 00:24:02,120 --> 00:23:56,670 recess break 10:30 around 10:30 in the 517 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:02,130 morning and that is that the bell rang 518 00:24:06,410 --> 00:24:03,930 at the end of recess and that's 519 00:24:07,940 --> 00:24:06,420 apparently when when when they did the 520 00:24:10,190 --> 00:24:07,950 the whole thing happened in broad 521 00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:10,200 daylight it actually I went to ask her 522 00:24:14,270 --> 00:24:11,850 and I went to the school and I met this 523 00:24:18,950 --> 00:24:14,280 I met one of the teachers duty Bates is 524 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:18,960 now the headmistress and she revealed 525 00:24:24,350 --> 00:24:21,810 stuff that you know basically confirmed 526 00:24:25,430 --> 00:24:24,360 the whole event on camera and more 527 00:24:27,770 --> 00:24:25,440 details off-camera 528 00:24:30,560 --> 00:24:27,780 she wasn't comfortable talking about but 529 00:24:32,330 --> 00:24:30,570 um yeah the school bell rang and that's 530 00:24:34,460 --> 00:24:32,340 when that's when the encounter had 531 00:24:36,770 --> 00:24:34,470 stopped and people often say it was 66 532 00:24:39,140 --> 00:24:36,780 children but I the teachers that I spoke 533 00:24:40,580 --> 00:24:39,150 to when I was there in Africa said there 534 00:24:44,110 --> 00:24:40,590 were about a hundred children it was 535 00:24:48,700 --> 00:24:44,120 just that 66 actually went on camera and 536 00:24:50,860 --> 00:24:48,710 let's say it's kind of irony right 537 00:24:56,280 --> 00:24:50,870 ironic what is what is true 538 00:25:00,010 --> 00:24:56,290 with crazy definitions but in this film 539 00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:00,020 where we have two schools two elementary 540 00:25:04,990 --> 00:25:03,170 schools featured and what are the odds 541 00:25:09,670 --> 00:25:05,000 of that to the most incredible 542 00:25:13,660 --> 00:25:09,680 encounters nearly what 30 years apart I 543 00:25:15,930 --> 00:25:13,670 would say 1966 1994 so about 30 years 544 00:25:21,910 --> 00:25:15,940 apart but we're talking of course about 545 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:21,920 Westall 1966 in Australia another 546 00:25:29,970 --> 00:25:25,610 continent right a world apart but the 547 00:25:32,430 --> 00:25:29,980 same situation here where we have a 548 00:25:35,590 --> 00:25:32,440 playground a school full of children 549 00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:35,600 that witnessed this absolutely amazing 550 00:25:41,380 --> 00:25:38,330 event and they're still here today as 551 00:25:43,960 --> 00:25:41,390 witnesses to talk about it and take us 552 00:25:46,210 --> 00:25:43,970 through West all again how important of 553 00:25:49,650 --> 00:25:46,220 a case is this for the world to see most 554 00:25:53,799 --> 00:25:49,660 most had never even heard about it I 555 00:25:55,630 --> 00:25:53,809 actually have Paola Harris to thank for 556 00:25:58,000 --> 00:25:55,640 that because she is the one that tugged 557 00:25:59,650 --> 00:25:58,010 me grabbed me by the arm in it at a UFO 558 00:26:02,140 --> 00:25:59,660 conference and introduced me to this 559 00:26:06,010 --> 00:26:02,150 gentleman James Rigney an Australian 560 00:26:08,169 --> 00:26:06,020 researcher and and honestly like the 561 00:26:10,210 --> 00:26:08,179 response I have that I feel terrible 562 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:10,220 admitting this but I don't believe it 563 00:26:14,890 --> 00:26:12,050 when I first heard here of like a 564 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:14,900 landing case or a contact case I'm 565 00:26:20,230 --> 00:26:17,690 highly dubious well you have to be up 566 00:26:22,030 --> 00:26:20,240 sure yeah like how how could this 567 00:26:23,740 --> 00:26:22,040 possibly have happened with that many 568 00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:23,750 witnesses in broad daylight and the 569 00:26:27,460 --> 00:26:25,730 whole world don't know about it and so I 570 00:26:29,169 --> 00:26:27,470 was like oh yeah yeah laying another 571 00:26:31,410 --> 00:26:29,179 landing okay someone's trying to jump on 572 00:26:33,940 --> 00:26:31,420 the Jan the bandwagon and get you know 573 00:26:36,970 --> 00:26:33,950 but started looking into it more and 574 00:26:38,340 --> 00:26:36,980 more and then this gentleman Shane Ryan 575 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:38,350 had done a film on it I looked at that 576 00:26:44,590 --> 00:26:41,690 that's not wait a minute Wow there's 577 00:26:47,860 --> 00:26:44,600 something here and we ended up going to 578 00:26:50,020 --> 00:26:47,870 Australia for a month and actually one 579 00:26:51,610 --> 00:26:50,030 of the few trips that I was I was I was 580 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:51,620 able to bring my family with it was 581 00:26:58,150 --> 00:26:55,850 great and met with the witnesses and met 582 00:27:01,500 --> 00:26:58,160 with the school science teacher which 583 00:27:04,669 --> 00:27:01,510 he'll have to remain nameless but I had 584 00:27:07,519 --> 00:27:04,679 all the 585 00:27:09,169 --> 00:27:07,529 researchers in Australia I met with 586 00:27:10,489 --> 00:27:09,179 they're like that yeah he'll tell he'll 587 00:27:13,009 --> 00:27:10,499 never go on the record we've been trying 588 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:13,019 for 50 years or the better part of 50 589 00:27:16,310 --> 00:27:14,730 years and then this other gentleman took 590 00:27:18,769 --> 00:27:16,320 a photograph of what could be the same 591 00:27:21,289 --> 00:27:18,779 object just 17 kilometers away two days 592 00:27:23,869 --> 00:27:21,299 earlier had taken a really color 593 00:27:25,159 --> 00:27:23,879 Polaroid picture and oh he won't go on 594 00:27:26,659 --> 00:27:25,169 the record either good luck you know I 595 00:27:31,899 --> 00:27:26,669 said just get me in the room with these 596 00:27:36,739 --> 00:27:34,759 miraculously that you hear from the 597 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:36,749 students and then you hear from the 598 00:27:42,710 --> 00:27:39,690 science teacher who's also outside he 599 00:27:44,600 --> 00:27:42,720 was an adult teacher and then you see a 600 00:27:46,940 --> 00:27:44,610 photograph that the guy took 17 601 00:27:49,369 --> 00:27:46,950 kilometers away of exactly what all the 602 00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:49,379 other students had seen and it's such a 603 00:27:55,820 --> 00:27:53,610 compelling case that picture that's 604 00:27:58,039 --> 00:27:55,830 right I remember when he told me about 605 00:28:01,700 --> 00:27:58,049 the picture right like three years ago 606 00:28:04,430 --> 00:28:01,710 and I want to see it well you know I had 607 00:28:06,830 --> 00:28:04,440 to wait anyway that moment in the film 608 00:28:09,769 --> 00:28:06,840 and it's a Polaroid which I really did 609 00:28:13,299 --> 00:28:09,779 that part of it when that picture went 610 00:28:17,690 --> 00:28:13,309 up on the screen my jaw hit the floor 611 00:28:19,789 --> 00:28:17,700 dad that was that's worth the price of 612 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:19,799 admission right there James what did you 613 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:21,090 what did you think when you first saw 614 00:28:26,629 --> 00:28:24,570 the picture well it was so precarious 615 00:28:28,789 --> 00:28:26,639 the whole situation of getting this guy 616 00:28:31,879 --> 00:28:28,799 can't again we could do an entire radio 617 00:28:33,619 --> 00:28:31,889 show and just how that happened and I 618 00:28:35,509 --> 00:28:33,629 had James rig me and I believe I had 619 00:28:38,450 --> 00:28:35,519 chain Ryan with me and then we had a 620 00:28:40,970 --> 00:28:38,460 camera a couple camera guys and you know 621 00:28:42,230 --> 00:28:40,980 this guy no it's him coming forward he 622 00:28:43,759 --> 00:28:42,240 didn't want it he didn't want the 623 00:28:47,810 --> 00:28:43,769 attention he didn't need the approval he 624 00:28:50,690 --> 00:28:47,820 didn't want any of it and when he pulled 625 00:28:53,869 --> 00:28:50,700 that Polaroid out of the envelope and 626 00:28:58,369 --> 00:28:53,879 handed his me on a park bench inside he 627 00:29:00,379 --> 00:28:58,379 was in Melbourne I simply you know that 628 00:29:07,659 --> 00:29:00,389 sound when you when you turn on your 629 00:29:11,779 --> 00:29:07,669 computer and it goes that moment for me 630 00:29:14,210 --> 00:29:11,789 it was so that that's what was captured 631 00:29:18,510 --> 00:29:14,220 right was that the first time you saw it 632 00:29:21,030 --> 00:29:18,520 oh my god yeah No 633 00:29:24,710 --> 00:29:21,040 I mean in the film that wasn't like a 634 00:29:29,220 --> 00:29:24,720 reenactment that was the moment softer 635 00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:29,230 well played well played well played I 636 00:29:37,620 --> 00:29:35,350 mean in their West all again when you 637 00:29:38,940 --> 00:29:37,630 have your lips and ditches if I told you 638 00:29:43,830 --> 00:29:38,950 how it happened but carry on 639 00:29:47,340 --> 00:29:43,840 well West all like roooaar West all is 640 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:47,350 is different than most other cases where 641 00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:49,450 you've got one or two people or you know 642 00:29:55,980 --> 00:29:53,410 no eyewitnesses at all no evidence of 643 00:29:59,100 --> 00:29:55,990 the we're talking about you know one 644 00:30:01,500 --> 00:29:59,110 hundred two hundred witnesses all there 645 00:30:03,090 --> 00:30:01,510 at the same time and more than that 646 00:30:06,090 --> 00:30:03,100 that's right more than that that's right 647 00:30:10,590 --> 00:30:06,100 pretty incredible schoolteacher told me 648 00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:10,600 several hundred and the other part about 649 00:30:16,590 --> 00:30:13,570 West all I don't think you discussed 650 00:30:20,690 --> 00:30:16,600 this in the film but is that the local 651 00:30:23,850 --> 00:30:20,700 television station all of the original 652 00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:23,860 video and anything that was captured 653

Jacques Vallee Jacques good evening 682 00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:02,760 how are you sir I'm getting younger and 683 00:32:10,520 --> 00:32:05,600 younger at one time you and you say that 684 00:32:13,580 --> 00:32:10,530 you know and you know this is a thing 685 00:32:17,690 --> 00:32:13,590 jock and thank you for coming in and 686 00:32:20,420 --> 00:32:17,700 joining us tonight and the community has 687 00:32:23,660 --> 00:32:20,430 such respect for you and your work and 688 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:23,670 your books over the years but here we 689 00:32:30,500 --> 00:32:27,690 are in 2020 Jacques you know what this 690 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:30,510 is many decades later review pushing 691 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:33,810 this forward and we have this film today 692 00:32:38,600 --> 00:32:36,240 how important do you think the 693 00:32:41,570 --> 00:32:38,610 phenomenon will be for the community in 694 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:41,580 the world well I think it it arrives 695 00:32:48,910 --> 00:32:44,930 exactly at the right time there was a 696 00:32:51,670 --> 00:32:48,920 very high-level event of interest from 697 00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:51,680 from the new generation you know I mean 698 00:32:59,750 --> 00:32:55,650 the subject has gone through a series of 699 00:33:03,700 --> 00:32:59,760 waves and it tends to fade fade away and 700 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:03,710 then reciting or some sensational event 701 00:33:10,340 --> 00:33:07,290 brings it up again and then there's a 702 00:33:14,780 --> 00:33:10,350 new wave of excitement a new generation 703 00:33:19,640 --> 00:33:14,790 the problem is that people see only one 704 00:33:22,910 --> 00:33:19,650 particular slice of it at one time and 705 00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:22,920 this movie because it goes into history 706 00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:25,410 and because it's done with such high 707 00:33:33,860 --> 00:33:31,490 quality is going to really build a 708 00:33:36,770 --> 00:33:33,870 consensus about what the entire 709 00:33:39,170 --> 00:33:36,780 phenomenon is you know most people think 710 00:33:40,610 --> 00:33:39,180 of it as a military thing I mean we've 711 00:33:44,419 --> 00:33:40,620 all seen the movies 712 00:33:46,489 --> 00:33:44,429 you know over the limits and so on some 713 00:33:50,869 --> 00:33:46,499 people think of it as only an American 714 00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:50,879 thing and in the James in his Rudy 715 00:33:56,779 --> 00:33:53,730 brings in all the other things the 716 00:34:00,049 --> 00:33:56,789 military events only maybe ten percent 717 00:34:03,470 --> 00:34:00,059 of the whole phenomenon and the military 718 00:34:06,619 --> 00:34:03,480 is constrained by its locations and by 719 00:34:09,440 --> 00:34:06,629 its gadgets which are very good it's 720 00:34:12,260 --> 00:34:09,450 constrained to a particular type of 721 00:34:15,260 --> 00:34:12,270 observation you know a farmer in Kansas 722 00:34:17,210 --> 00:34:15,270 or the tribe driver in France or in 723 00:34:20,270 --> 00:34:17,220 Russia is going to see something 724 00:34:23,059 --> 00:34:20,280 different so the movie takes all of that 725 00:34:28,309 --> 00:34:23,069 into account and let me tell you that 726 00:34:32,859 --> 00:34:28,319 the work that the team that James has 727 00:34:35,240 --> 00:34:32,869 assembled is of such high quality that 728 00:34:38,869 --> 00:34:35,250 people will be blown away when they see 729 00:34:41,629 --> 00:34:38,879 it and there's there's another aspect to 730 00:34:46,720 --> 00:34:41,639 this that I'm very excited about and 731 00:34:49,639 --> 00:34:46,730 it's this this is a theatrical release 732 00:34:53,270 --> 00:34:49,649 right this is in movie theaters across 733 00:34:55,760 --> 00:34:53,280 the country where you're gonna have the 734 00:34:59,630 --> 00:34:55,770 UFO community go out and see the film 735 00:35:02,630 --> 00:34:59,640 but it's also going to be exposed to the 736 00:35:04,579 --> 00:35:02,640 country and with that you have to have 737 00:35:07,819 --> 00:35:04,589 those standards met for a theatrical 738 00:35:10,250 --> 00:35:07,829 release it has to be cinematic it has to 739 00:35:12,740 --> 00:35:10,260 sound wonderful it's got to have all of 740 00:35:16,010 --> 00:35:12,750 that perfection in there but this time 741 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:16,020 it's a UFO documentary and we've got 742 00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:18,530 that going for us how exciting is that 743 00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:21,420 for the world to finally have this out 744 00:35:27,710 --> 00:35:24,599 in front in a commercial in a commercial 745 00:35:31,089 --> 00:35:27,720 sense well I don't think there has been 746 00:35:35,089 --> 00:35:31,099 anything like it in terms of a 747 00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:35,099 nonfiction presentation there has been 748 00:35:42,890 --> 00:35:39,930 as you know tremendous fiction films 749 00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:42,900 made that were extraordinary that try to 750 00:35:50,660 --> 00:35:47,040 approximate what what was really going 751 00:35:54,340 --> 00:35:50,670 on but this is nonfiction and I think 752 00:36:00,530 --> 00:35:54,350 it's going to grab people from the first 753 00:36:06,020 --> 00:36:00,540 you know the first slide and go on go on 754 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:06,030 from there but what's important to me I 755 00:36:09,470 --> 00:36:07,770 think had you know the privilege of 756 00:36:13,370 --> 00:36:09,480 working on it 757 00:36:16,370 --> 00:36:13,380 to some extent with dreams is that what 758 00:36:18,860 --> 00:36:16,380 we see are the people it's not just one 759 00:36:20,780 --> 00:36:18,870 case after another after another like 760 00:36:26,150 --> 00:36:20,790 some of those documentaries you see on 761 00:36:28,670 --> 00:36:26,160 TV the the movie really goes into what 762 00:36:31,280 --> 00:36:28,680 happened to these people where did they 763 00:36:33,560 --> 00:36:31,290 come from who were they you know what 764 00:36:36,710 --> 00:36:33,570 how did their family how did their 765 00:36:40,460 --> 00:36:36,720 neighbors react to what they saw and 766 00:36:42,770 --> 00:36:40,470 what they said and and I think people 767 00:36:46,430 --> 00:36:42,780 will react to the Jersey human quality 768 00:36:49,220 --> 00:36:46,440 of it which to some extent you know is 769 00:36:52,220 --> 00:36:49,230 shown by documentaries but again the 770 00:36:54,050 --> 00:36:52,230 documentaries try to make a point about 771 00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:54,060 one case after another after another 772 00:36:59,780 --> 00:36:55,410 this isn't it 773 00:37:02,540 --> 00:36:59,790 this really tells the the story from 774 00:37:05,090 --> 00:37:02,550 both of historical in the JA graphic 775 00:37:08,570 --> 00:37:05,100 point of view and I think they deem 776 00:37:11,300 --> 00:37:08,580 practically to be very profound 777 00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:11,310 well you have always tried to push that 778 00:37:17,180 --> 00:37:15,210 part of it the the human element side of 779 00:37:19,910 --> 00:37:17,190 it the psychological side the emotional 780 00:37:22,490 --> 00:37:19,920 side the impact that it has on 781 00:37:24,950 --> 00:37:22,500 individuals not only with sightings but 782 00:37:28,910 --> 00:37:24,960 possibly abductions and direct contact 783 00:37:32,390 --> 00:37:28,920 and you're right so much has been made 784 00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:32,400 in the past about what was the ship like 785 00:37:37,490 --> 00:37:34,500 what was the ship like in the inside 786 00:37:40,370 --> 00:37:37,500 what you know the sensational sides of 787 00:37:44,300 --> 00:37:40,380 things and always took the focus away 788 00:37:47,450 --> 00:37:44,310 from the human element and the impact 789 00:37:50,450 --> 00:37:47,460 it's had on individuals was this you 790 00:37:53,240 --> 00:37:50,460 pushing James to go in this direction or 791 00:37:55,610 --> 00:37:53,250 was James already going he wanted to go 792 00:37:57,650 --> 00:37:55,620 in that direction I think what I brought 793 00:38:00,940 --> 00:37:57,660 contrary to what you were saying earlier 794 00:38:04,660 --> 00:38:00,950 you know I'm old enough to remember 795 00:38:06,860 --> 00:38:04,670 working actually with dr. Hynek and 796 00:38:09,770 --> 00:38:06,870 meeting the people at the Conan 797 00:38:13,580 --> 00:38:09,780 committee we were Alan Hynek and I were 798 00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:13,590 the first scientists to testify in in 799 00:38:22,550 --> 00:38:18,410 Boulder before the the Condon group and 800 00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:22,560 you know I remember going to write Paris 801 00:38:28,160 --> 00:38:25,410 an air force base to meet with the staff 802 00:38:32,260 --> 00:38:28,170 of Project Blue Book and a major 803 00:38:36,380 --> 00:38:32,270 quintanilla and what happened there so I 804 00:38:40,010 --> 00:38:36,390 what I was able to contribute was that 805 00:38:44,390 --> 00:38:40,020 extra dimension of the human motivation 806 00:38:46,460 --> 00:38:44,400 and also to some extent the this is 807 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:46,470 something that bothers me when I look at 808 00:38:53,270 --> 00:38:50,010 points on TV as good as it may be but 809 00:38:55,880 --> 00:38:53,280 you know in in some cases but the 810 00:39:00,380 --> 00:38:55,890 motivations of the organization's behind 811 00:39:05,740 --> 00:39:00,390 it I think the Air Force is not fairly 812 00:39:08,450 --> 00:39:05,750 represented in the whole history we 813 00:39:11,950 --> 00:39:08,460 there is a consensus that there was some 814 00:39:16,040 --> 00:39:11,960 sort of cover-up from the government and 815 00:39:21,020 --> 00:39:16,050 that that can be meant in in a variety 816 00:39:24,380 --> 00:39:21,030 of ways and there was reluctance at 817 00:39:27,380 --> 00:39:24,390 different times to deal with the 818 00:39:31,580 --> 00:39:27,390 phenomenon at all or if they had to deal 819 00:39:34,670 --> 00:39:31,590 with it to really get the scientific 820 00:39:38,240 --> 00:39:34,680 community involved well I think this 821 00:39:41,030 --> 00:39:38,250 this movie is going to get at least some 822 00:39:43,070 --> 00:39:41,040 of the scientific community involved I 823 00:39:45,590 --> 00:39:43,080 can tell you in you know in Silicon 824 00:39:47,780 --> 00:39:45,600 Valley people are not waiting for 825 00:39:50,900 --> 00:39:47,790 permission to do something when they 826 00:39:55,970 --> 00:39:50,910 think there is some some discovery to be 827 00:39:58,460 --> 00:39:55,980 made and that's not exactly public but 828 00:40:02,120 --> 00:39:58,470 there are a number of scientists who are 829 00:40:06,910 --> 00:40:02,130 involved now working with you know more 830 00:40:10,010 --> 00:40:06,920 than ever working with international 831 00:40:11,780 --> 00:40:10,020 friends and colleagues and trying to 832 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:11,790 assemble the evidence when you look at 833 00:40:16,970 --> 00:40:14,250 it without asking anybody's permission 834 00:40:19,850 --> 00:40:16,980 and you know in Silicon Valley you can 835 00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:19,860 do a lot of things without money because 836 00:40:24,470 --> 00:40:22,830 you know equipment is available and when 837 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:24,480 people are interested they all work over 838 00:40:29,090 --> 00:40:26,610 the weekend and you know their work at 839 00:40:32,470 --> 00:40:29,100 night and we'll get this thing done and 840 00:40:36,080 --> 00:40:32,480 analyze and I think that's the spirit 841 00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:36,090 and you know I think that the movie 842 00:40:44,210 --> 00:40:39,090 brings that up pretty well so we're 843 00:40:47,810 --> 00:40:44,220 going to see some changes the the film 844 00:40:53,780 --> 00:40:47,820 of the United Nations which I had never 845 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:53,790 seen before by the way I've seen 846 00:41:01,100 --> 00:40:57,410 pictures and I had seen low quality 847 00:41:03,670 --> 00:41:01,110 video but I have not seen I mean it's 848 00:41:06,970 --> 00:41:03,680 extraordinary and I know how much work 849 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:06,980 went on by the team by Jane's team 850 00:41:16,990 --> 00:41:12,570 behind the scene to get this I you know 851 00:41:21,950 --> 00:41:17,000 it's remarkable well it's in color 852 00:41:24,500 --> 00:41:21,960 absolutely it's it's it's the what do 853 00:41:28,130 --> 00:41:24,510 they call it the the tell us any the 854 00:41:30,620 --> 00:41:28,140 conversion of film to digital is spot-on 855 00:41:32,150 --> 00:41:30,630 for the film it's really good but let me 856 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:32,160 ask you this though Jacques when you go 857 00:41:38,450 --> 00:41:35,850 and you watch those scenes at the 858 00:41:40,460 --> 00:41:38,460 hearings for the United Nations and you 859 00:41:44,840 --> 00:41:40,470 think about how long ago you and Lee 860 00:41:48,500 --> 00:41:44,850 Spiegel did that together we're in 2001 861 00:41:51,410 --> 00:41:48,510 yeah yeah and we're 2040 did you expect 862 00:41:56,900 --> 00:41:51,420 us to be further along the road with the 863 00:42:02,060 --> 00:41:56,910 question of UFOs or are we further than 864 00:42:07,730 --> 00:42:02,070 what you thought we would be no I think 865 00:42:11,450 --> 00:42:07,740 we went in thinking that already at that 866 00:42:13,670 --> 00:42:11,460 time the evidence and I'm using that 867 00:42:14,990 --> 00:42:13,680 term carefully because it means 868 00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:15,000 different things for different people 869 00:42:23,030 --> 00:42:19,770 but surveillance was so strong and you 870 00:42:25,910 --> 00:42:23,040 know we had witnesses with us who were 871 00:42:28,610 --> 00:42:25,920 extraordinarily convincing like Captain 872 00:42:31,770 --> 00:42:28,620 Coyne who was was in involved in the 873 00:42:35,370 --> 00:42:31,780 helicopter case you know 874 00:42:38,940 --> 00:42:35,380 that happened in Ohio that when he told 875 00:42:42,540 --> 00:42:38,950 that story the entire room was you know 876 00:42:45,780 --> 00:42:42,550 was silent was frozen one of the 877 00:42:48,510 --> 00:42:45,790 delegates from one of the countries said 878 00:42:51,590 --> 00:42:48,520 well what what did you do captain when 879 00:42:55,620 --> 00:42:51,600 you realize you were trying to land and 880 00:42:59,100 --> 00:42:55,630 something was pulling you up and he said 881 00:43:02,720 --> 00:42:59,110 very calmly sir I closed my eyes and 882 00:43:06,570 --> 00:43:02,730 prepared to die okay now this is a 883 00:43:10,290 --> 00:43:06,580 military man who knows that the 884 00:43:13,020 --> 00:43:10,300 situation is out of his control and that 885 00:43:16,710 --> 00:43:13,030 there is something that is pulling this 886 00:43:19,820 --> 00:43:16,720 large helicopter with with these army 887 00:43:23,460 --> 00:43:19,830 officers we had just passed by the way a 888 00:43:26,370 --> 00:43:23,470 visual and on I exam so they could 889 00:43:29,400 --> 00:43:26,380 continue to fly helicopters so there is 890 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:29,410 no there is no argument that maybe they 891 00:43:37,140 --> 00:43:31,930 you know they were chasing a flock of 892 00:43:39,890 --> 00:43:37,150 birds or something this was real and we 893 00:43:43,620 --> 00:43:39,900 thought that kind of testimony would 894 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:43,630 impress at least some of the people and 895 00:43:50,580 --> 00:43:46,810 the proposal that was made was not 896 00:43:54,090 --> 00:43:50,590 expensive it was just to help coordinate 897 00:43:57,330 --> 00:43:54,100 the work that was already going on in a 898 00:43:59,100 --> 00:43:57,340 number of countries as you know I'm I'm 899 00:44:03,450 --> 00:43:59,110 a member of the scientific advisory 900 00:44:09,330 --> 00:44:03,460 board for the French Space Agency on on 901 00:44:13,200 --> 00:44:09,340 this subject and the that committee has 902 00:44:16,770 --> 00:44:13,210 existed since the seventies and 903 00:44:19,260 --> 00:44:16,780 continuously so the interest is there by 904 00:44:23,340 --> 00:44:19,270 the number of countries openly and 905 00:44:27,960 --> 00:44:23,350 what's needed now is a true coordination 906 00:44:30,150 --> 00:44:27,970 effort and another point an 907 00:44:33,810 --> 00:44:30,160 extraordinary moment in the film is when 908 00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:33,820 the subject is brought forward by James 909 00:44:40,530 --> 00:44:39,010 with metamaterials and you I can I'm not 910 00:44:42,750 --> 00:44:40,540 giving away anything from the film 911 00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:42,760 everybody just relax 912 00:44:50,940 --> 00:44:47,650 there is a shot with you holding three 913 00:44:54,170 --> 00:44:50,950 containers and you start to discuss this 914 00:44:58,920 --> 00:44:54,180 when we get into su the metamaterials 915 00:45:00,900 --> 00:44:58,930 discussion not only for the UFO 916 00:45:04,140 --> 00:45:00,910 community but for the world in general 917 00:45:07,859 --> 00:45:04,150 now we're taking a big step forward away 918 00:45:10,590 --> 00:45:07,869 from video film eyewitness testimony to 919 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:10,600 something physical so when we're talking 920 00:45:18,630 --> 00:45:13,410 about metamaterials are we talking about 921 00:45:20,820 --> 00:45:18,640 small traces granular materials or are 922 00:45:26,280 --> 00:45:20,830 we talking about something that is 923 00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:26,290 larger and more tangible so you know I 924 00:45:36,570 --> 00:45:31,140 don't want to invade your question the 925 00:45:40,170 --> 00:45:36,580 at this point we not sure of what we 926 00:45:42,270 --> 00:45:40,180 have right K now people have been 927 00:45:45,270 --> 00:45:42,280 talking about metal materials you know 928 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:45,280 we're doing this look we have this we're 929 00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:46,690 going to study it and so on 930 00:45:50,910 --> 00:45:48,730 and we're the first ones doing that 931 00:45:53,820 --> 00:45:50,920 that's not true I mean that research has 932 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:53,830 been going on for 40 years if you 933 00:45:58,380 --> 00:45:56,410 remember there was an explosion of an 934 00:46:04,440 --> 00:45:58,390 object that has never been identified 935 00:46:08,580 --> 00:46:04,450 over ubatuba in Brazil in 1957 professor 936 00:46:12,330 --> 00:46:08,590 arc at Stanford who is found at the 937 00:46:15,270 --> 00:46:12,340 plasma Research Center in physics 938 00:46:18,090 --> 00:46:15,280 department in Stanford has done 939 00:46:21,050 --> 00:46:18,100 extensive study of that material it had 940 00:46:27,180 --> 00:46:21,060 been studied by several other groups and 941 00:46:30,690 --> 00:46:27,190 I brought back some two more samples 942 00:46:33,450 --> 00:46:30,700 that were unknown at the time from one 943 00:46:36,570 --> 00:46:33,460 former level fountas who was a primary 944 00:46:40,320 --> 00:46:36,580 researcher in Brazil at the time and 945 00:46:44,820 --> 00:46:40,330 another one from a an Argentinean sailor 946 00:46:48,000 --> 00:46:44,830 who was in orbit around picked up some 947 00:46:50,220 --> 00:46:48,010 of the material we we have read now so 948 00:46:52,650 --> 00:46:50,230 we have plenty of material and we are 949 00:46:55,050 --> 00:46:52,660 retesting it comparing it to the 950 00:46:57,330 --> 00:46:55,060 material that Professor Chirac was 951 00:47:01,590 --> 00:46:57,340 clearly enough to give me 952 00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:01,600 from his own collections and but this is 953 00:47:07,410 --> 00:47:04,480 difficult this is difficult science this 954 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:07,420 is difficult technology and it may lead 955 00:47:14,070 --> 00:47:11,170 to you know pretty mundane results 956 00:47:18,420 --> 00:47:14,080 although we already know that the 957 00:47:23,250 --> 00:47:18,430 material could be made on earth but why 958 00:47:25,350 --> 00:47:23,260 would anybody do that in 1957 you that 959 00:47:27,690 --> 00:47:25,360 particular material we already know and 960 00:47:31,350 --> 00:47:27,700 there are a number of publications about 961 00:47:35,180 --> 00:47:31,360 this in the scientific literature again 962 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:35,190 going back 30 40 years so we are we 963 00:47:41,370 --> 00:47:37,930 really meaning this and that's what you 964 00:47:44,430 --> 00:47:41,380 do in science we have new material from 965 00:47:47,430 --> 00:47:44,440 that case and other cases and you just 966 00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:47,440 go over what has been done by your 967 00:47:52,290 --> 00:47:49,450 colleagues and you know we're standing 968 00:47:54,480 --> 00:47:52,300 on the shoulders of very very good 969 00:47:57,510 --> 00:47:54,490 researchers who did that in their own 970 00:48:00,570 --> 00:47:57,520 time with very little money but did it 971 00:48:04,200 --> 00:48:00,580 professionally and that's what we'll 972 00:48:07,910 --> 00:48:04,210 continue to do now if you're asking me 973 00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:07,920 do I have you know the control panel 974 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:11,650 vice-versa from Alpha Centauri no I can 975 00:48:19,890 --> 00:48:16,810 I can assure you we if we had that we 976 00:48:23,070 --> 00:48:19,900 would have a different conversation we 977 00:48:26,190 --> 00:48:23,080 have intriguing materials and we just 978 00:48:32,130 --> 00:48:26,200 have to do but if you if you look at my 979 00:48:34,440 --> 00:48:32,140 website you know doctor Gary Nolan and I 980 00:48:34,920 --> 00:48:34,450 made a presentation which is on the 981 00:48:38,250 --> 00:48:34,930 website 982 00:48:42,690 --> 00:48:38,260 I made that presentation based on our 983 00:48:45,870 --> 00:48:42,700 first analyses and in Paris about three 984 00:48:48,270 --> 00:48:45,880 years ago they were this was a private 985 00:48:50,670 --> 00:48:48,280 presentation they were only about two 986 00:48:52,950 --> 00:48:50,680 hundred people in the room who it had 987 00:48:57,600 --> 00:48:52,960 not been advertised many of them were 988 00:48:59,940 --> 00:48:57,610 scientists there was one man in his 50s 989 00:49:03,480 --> 00:48:59,950 who obviously came from one of the 990 00:49:05,910 --> 00:49:03,490 French academic labs and he said this is 991 00:49:09,720 --> 00:49:05,920 fine you're showing us some new stuff 992 00:49:10,570 --> 00:49:09,730 some interesting isotopic analysis you 993 00:49:13,510 --> 00:49:10,580 have to go 994 00:49:16,510 --> 00:49:13,520 beyond the component itself you have to 995 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:16,520 go to the level of the isotopes which is 996 00:49:20,170 --> 00:49:18,170 difficult and expensive 997 00:49:23,190 --> 00:49:20,180 he said that's good that you're doing 998 00:49:26,230 --> 00:49:23,200 this but you only have two data points 999 00:49:29,530 --> 00:49:26,240 you have to redo it with different 1000 00:49:31,500 --> 00:49:29,540 instruments with different beams going 1001 00:49:34,600 --> 00:49:31,510 to different places in the material 1002 00:49:38,260 --> 00:49:34,610 before the scientific community will 1003 00:49:41,200 --> 00:49:38,270 really look at it seriously so he was 1004 00:49:43,750 --> 00:49:41,210 right yes and you know that's what you 1005 00:49:46,870 --> 00:49:43,760 do in science you you just don't have 1006 00:49:50,380 --> 00:49:46,880 one measurement and you rush to the New 1007 00:49:52,600 --> 00:49:50,390 York Times to announce the discovery you 1008 00:49:54,720 --> 00:49:52,610 know that's not the way it happens so we 1009 00:49:58,690 --> 00:49:54,730 want to do it right and we want to 1010 00:50:03,720 --> 00:49:58,700 invite you know people who have that 1011 00:50:08,920 --> 00:50:03,730 kind of material to to contact us and 1012 00:50:12,580 --> 00:50:08,930 our colleagues even the skeptics may 1013 00:50:16,570 --> 00:50:12,590 have some very good advice how very 1014 00:50:19,750 --> 00:50:16,580 specialized area yeah I had read I'm 1015 00:50:23,670 --> 00:50:19,760 gonna make this really quick this is 1016 00:50:28,060 --> 00:50:23,680 about three weeks ago that 70% of 1017 00:50:34,810 --> 00:50:28,070 scientists and researchers 70% cannot 1018 00:50:37,390 --> 00:50:34,820 repeat their own experiments you have to 1019 00:50:40,030 --> 00:50:37,400 continue the testing you can't just base 1020 00:50:42,160 --> 00:50:40,040 everything on one set of results that's 1021 00:50:43,990 --> 00:50:42,170 what you have to do one of you has to 1022 00:50:45,790 --> 00:50:44,000 compare it to what your colleagues have 1023 00:50:47,410 --> 00:50:45,800 done and by the way some of that 1024 00:50:50,290 --> 00:50:47,420 material we're going to make available 1025 00:50:54,130 --> 00:50:50,300 to other labs in Europe you know people 1026 00:50:55,600 --> 00:50:54,140 who are ready to to work on it who are 1027 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:55,610 very competent and it has a right 1028 00:50:59,710 --> 00:50:57,680 instrument that's the only way it can be 1029 00:51:04,080 --> 00:50:59,720 done it's the only way Jacques I want to 1030 00:51:06,700 --> 00:51:04,090 ask you this and and James is probably 1031 00:51:09,580 --> 00:51:06,710 going to chuckle at this question but 1032 00:51:14,170 --> 00:51:09,590 it's a it's a real one you've been doing 1033 00:51:17,259 --> 00:51:14,180 this for a very long time and the the 1034 00:51:20,890 --> 00:51:17,269 critics out there 1035 00:51:23,710 --> 00:51:20,900 always push the issue of the world is 1036 00:51:27,490 --> 00:51:23,720 not ready I don't know what the world 1037 00:51:29,079 --> 00:51:27,500 was like in 1970 and and the feeling of 1038 00:51:35,109 --> 00:51:29,089 things out there I was only eight years 1039 00:51:37,269 --> 00:51:35,119 old but today I feel that we are ready 1040 00:51:40,779 --> 00:51:37,279 that I die I think everybody's 1041 00:51:44,289 --> 00:51:40,789 acclimated to it is the world ready are 1042 00:51:47,680 --> 00:51:44,299 we gonna freak out about the existence 1043 00:51:51,940 --> 00:51:47,690 of UFOs and alien contact or is it just 1044 00:51:53,740 --> 00:51:51,950 going to be another day at the races I I 1045 00:51:57,069 --> 00:51:53,750 don't think it's going to be another day 1046 00:52:00,670 --> 00:51:57,079 at the races I think if you ask the 1047 00:52:04,029 --> 00:52:00,680 witnesses which I know you've done they 1048 00:52:08,700 --> 00:52:04,039 will tell you that this is not just some 1049 00:52:11,410 --> 00:52:08,710 nice spacecraft you know from from Venus 1050 00:52:14,230 --> 00:52:11,420 this is profound and it's going to 1051 00:52:17,559 --> 00:52:14,240 change a lot of things when we recognize 1052 00:52:21,039 --> 00:52:17,569 it it's how to recognize and we should 1053 00:52:24,819 --> 00:52:21,049 not lead with our preconceived ideas of 1054 00:52:27,999 --> 00:52:24,829 what it is it's very complex what has 1055 00:52:31,150 --> 00:52:28,009 changed is that you know in in the 50s 1056 00:52:33,400 --> 00:52:31,160 60s there were reasons for the 1057 00:52:37,539 --> 00:52:33,410 government to want to control the 1058 00:52:43,210 --> 00:52:37,549 information people probably would have 1059 00:52:45,940 --> 00:52:43,220 freaked out some did and there was 1060 00:52:47,380 --> 00:52:45,950 another little unknown from the point of 1061 00:52:50,140 --> 00:52:47,390 view from the strategic point of view 1062 00:52:54,640 --> 00:52:50,150 and the military point of view is it a 1063 00:52:59,950 --> 00:52:54,650 secret weapon somebody has what are the 1064 00:53:04,539 --> 00:52:59,960 you know why is it here is how come it 1065 00:53:08,769 --> 00:53:04,549 can violate our airspace ignore the 1066 00:53:12,099 --> 00:53:08,779 radar follow our rockets you know follow 1067 00:53:17,319 --> 00:53:12,109 our aircraft carriers I mean the Nimitz 1068 00:53:20,230 --> 00:53:17,329 is not the first one right so what there 1069 00:53:23,710 --> 00:53:20,240 was to some extent a legitimate concern 1070 00:53:27,490 --> 00:53:23,720 and legitimate concern to keep it secret 1071 00:53:30,970 --> 00:53:27,500 actually until there could be some 1072 00:53:33,010 --> 00:53:30,980 determination well we 1073 00:53:36,730 --> 00:53:33,020 you know we don't need to be initiated 1074 00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:36,740 into those secrets to know that they 1075 00:53:42,060 --> 00:53:39,010 haven't found anything if they had found 1076 00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:42,070 anti-gravity by now we would not be 1077 00:53:49,300 --> 00:53:46,130 trying so hard to get back to space did 1078 00:53:52,630 --> 00:53:49,310 you realize that there hasn't been a 1079 00:53:56,020 --> 00:53:52,640 rocket going into space from the United 1080 00:53:59,650 --> 00:53:56,030 States carrying an astronaut in the last 1081 00:54:05,410 --> 00:53:59,660 eight years it's incredible it is 1082 00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:05,420 incredible and you know I remember in my 1083 00:54:10,450 --> 00:54:07,130 house you know with my wife and my two 1084 00:54:15,460 --> 00:54:10,460 kids fifty years ago watching two guys 1085 00:54:19,660 --> 00:54:15,470 you know landing on the moon the fact 1086 00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:19,670 that now when we go back to our unit I 1087 00:54:26,140 --> 00:54:22,610 will module into Space Station you have 1088 00:54:29,260 --> 00:54:26,150 to take a you know a flight to you know 1089 00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:29,270 to Russia or to someplace close to 1090 00:54:35,560 --> 00:54:32,810 Russia to use a Russian rocket to go 1091 00:54:39,010 --> 00:54:35,570 there and that we have not had a 1092 00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:39,020 capability for eight years to go to you 1093 00:54:44,920 --> 00:54:40,970 know Space Station that to a large 1094 00:54:47,050 --> 00:54:44,930 extent we built is incredible so if we 1095 00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:47,060 hadn't a gravity I mean this you know 1096 00:54:52,690 --> 00:54:49,730 this would not be an issue we would not 1097 00:54:57,340 --> 00:54:52,700 be talking about it now so the problem 1098 00:55:00,040 --> 00:54:57,350 has proven I think much more difficult 1099 00:55:02,440 --> 00:55:00,050 than people thought scientists can be 1100 00:55:04,570 --> 00:55:02,450 very arrogant you know give me a piece 1101 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:04,580 of that and I'm going to analyze it over 1102 00:55:09,660 --> 00:55:06,530 the weekend and I'll tell you what it 1103 00:55:13,030 --> 00:55:09,670 does well that doesn't that didn't work 1104 00:55:18,250 --> 00:55:13,040 it's it's a complex problem you need to 1105 00:55:20,110 --> 00:55:18,260 look at it in history and I think James 1106 00:55:23,380 --> 00:55:20,120 hired me because I'm old enough to 1107 00:55:25,900 --> 00:55:23,390 remember some of the history and I've 1108 00:55:28,540 --> 00:55:25,910 also as you know done research in in a 1109 00:55:31,420 --> 00:55:28,550 more ancient history with with a group 1110 00:55:33,430 --> 00:55:31,430 of people who were passionate about that 1111 00:55:36,760 --> 00:55:33,440 and we published a couple of books about 1112 00:55:38,770 --> 00:55:36,770 that so this is all I've also you know 1113 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:38,780 remember the presentation I made where 1114 00:55:44,110 --> 00:55:41,090 you were coming enough to introduce me 1115 00:55:47,110 --> 00:55:44,120 last year right about the use of article 1116 00:55:50,140 --> 00:55:47,120 your intelligence to screen that data 1117 00:55:52,150 --> 00:55:50,150 and we have those tools and the 1118 00:55:56,140 --> 00:55:52,160 presentation I made was about an AI 1119 00:55:58,300 --> 00:55:56,150 program that I developed in 1985 okay 1120 00:56:00,490 --> 00:55:58,310 and there are people now saying oh you 1121 00:56:03,610 --> 00:56:00,500 know we're going to use AI one of these 1122 00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:03,620 days well AI has been available I mean 1123 00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:06,850 that form of a I was already 1124 00:56:13,030 --> 00:56:10,610 sufficiently developed in 1985 to be 1125 00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:13,040 used to help in this research why didn't 1126 00:56:21,040 --> 00:56:17,210 we do it okay why are we just looking at 1127 00:56:25,450 --> 00:56:21,050 it as a novelty when we have develop 1128 00:56:28,360 --> 00:56:25,460 those those algorithms to a sufficient 1129 00:56:31,300 --> 00:56:28,370 point to start using them they're not 1130 00:56:33,520 --> 00:56:31,310 going to tell us exactly what UFOs are 1131 00:56:37,180 --> 00:56:33,530 where they come from and so on but they 1132 00:56:39,850 --> 00:56:37,190 can help us save time and money in doing 1133 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:39,860 a research we have that and now we're 1134 00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:44,450 not in 85 anymore in 2020 and we we have 1135 00:56:51,640 --> 00:56:47,810 I don't need to tell you computers that 1136 00:56:55,030 --> 00:56:51,650 are much more capable and software 1137 00:56:58,090 --> 00:56:55,040 that's developed way beyond what we had 1138 00:57:00,190 --> 00:56:58,100 then the problem remains the same you 1139 00:57:02,650 --> 00:57:00,200 know we will keep looking at the problem 1140 00:57:05,110 --> 00:57:02,660 with better and better instrumentation 1141 00:57:07,540 --> 00:57:05,120 better and better software better and 1142 00:57:10,300 --> 00:57:07,550 better intelligence that's what's 1143 00:57:12,880 --> 00:57:10,310 changing and I think in some extent of 1144 00:57:18,090 --> 00:57:12,890 government and I think the intelligence 1145 00:57:21,640 --> 00:57:18,100 community the military communities is 1146 00:57:24,700 --> 00:57:21,650 would relax if if the scientific 1147 00:57:27,310 --> 00:57:24,710 community stepped up and took over at 1148 00:57:35,230 --> 00:57:27,320 least parts of the problem I wanted to 1149 00:57:39,400 --> 00:57:35,240 ask you this one of the things about you 1150 00:57:42,660 --> 00:57:39,410 Jacque is that most including myself 1151 00:57:46,390 --> 00:57:42,670 okay I'll just call the right most 1152 00:57:51,190 --> 00:57:46,400 people think that you've got knowledge 1153 00:57:53,830 --> 00:57:51,200 and you know things that you can't share 1154 00:57:56,050 --> 00:57:53,840 so let's leave I'm gonna push that in 1155 00:57:57,670 --> 00:57:56,060 the background for a second but the 1156 00:58:02,050 --> 00:57:57,680 other side of it is 1157 00:58:05,350 --> 00:58:02,060 the government is sitting on actual data 1158 00:58:07,810 --> 00:58:05,360 and facts and maybe debris in a crash 1159 00:58:12,340 --> 00:58:07,820 saucer and maybe an alien body or two 1160 00:58:14,080 --> 00:58:12,350 that they are not disclosing what side 1161 00:58:16,930 --> 00:58:14,090 of the fence are you on do you think 1162 00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:16,940 that the government is sitting on that 1163 00:58:24,820 --> 00:58:20,810 kind of information well you're asking 1164 00:58:30,030 --> 00:58:24,830 me several questions here I I do have 1165 00:58:33,330 --> 00:58:30,040 information that I have not shared the 1166 00:58:37,270 --> 00:58:33,340 but that's different from having insight 1167 00:58:39,130 --> 00:58:37,280 every scientist has you know some deep 1168 00:58:42,040 --> 00:58:39,140 when you've looked at something for a 1169 00:58:46,840 --> 00:58:42,050 long time whether it's cancer or you 1170 00:58:49,450 --> 00:58:46,850 know galaxies or whatever you develop 1171 00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:49,460 some insights that you're just not sure 1172 00:58:55,120 --> 00:58:52,730 of you're not ready to publish them you 1173 00:58:57,430 --> 00:58:55,130 might discuss them with with close 1174 00:59:00,970 --> 00:58:57,440 colleagues but you're not ready to go 1175 00:59:05,080 --> 00:59:00,980 public with them I think many of us in 1176 00:59:07,300 --> 00:59:05,090 this field have such insights and I 1177 00:59:09,670 --> 00:59:07,310 think one of the other things we should 1178 00:59:12,670 --> 00:59:09,680 do is start sharing sharing those 1179 00:59:15,610 --> 00:59:12,680 insights right but probably not publicly 1180 00:59:20,740 --> 00:59:15,620 probably not on the TV special but just 1181 00:59:25,150 --> 00:59:20,750 to you know compare notes the other 1182 00:59:27,670 --> 00:59:25,160 thing is we know for a fact that things 1183 00:59:30,610 --> 00:59:27,680 have been recovered that have 1184 00:59:33,880 --> 00:59:30,620 disappeared somewhere they may have 1185 00:59:38,560 --> 00:59:33,890 disappeared in somebody's basement who's 1186 00:59:40,120 --> 00:59:38,570 given up on studying it but I have a lot 1187 00:59:43,530 --> 00:59:40,130 of respect for people in that community 1188 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:43,540 I don't think I think many of them are 1189 00:59:49,230 --> 00:59:46,850 good scientists and they are curious and 1190 00:59:52,480 --> 00:59:49,240 they would have continued to work on it 1191 00:59:56,200 --> 00:59:52,490 there may be a good reason for them not 1192 00:59:58,780 --> 00:59:56,210 to talk about it because they don't see 1193 01:00:01,660 --> 00:59:58,790 in that was certainly true of the Air 1194 01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:01,670 Force by the way when I was discussing 1195 01:00:08,250 --> 01:00:05,210 it with major quintanilla and so on they 1196 01:00:11,059 --> 01:00:08,260 did not see in the scientific community 1197 01:00:14,660 --> 01:00:11,069 anybody who was ready 1198 01:00:18,349 --> 01:00:14,670 to to to start doing the research 1199 01:00:22,130 --> 01:00:18,359 seriously so they were sitting on data 1200 01:00:26,029 --> 01:00:22,140 that they didn't know you know how to 1201 01:00:30,259 --> 01:00:26,039 give it to somebody and I think that 1202 01:00:33,499 --> 01:00:30,269 impression was reinforced you know the 1203 01:00:35,329 --> 01:00:33,509 Condon study which was a joke so if 1204 01:00:38,299 --> 01:00:35,339 that's what the scientific community 1205 01:00:41,749 --> 01:00:38,309 does when you give them good data you 1206 01:00:43,699 --> 01:00:41,759 know that's pretty discouraging and by 1207 01:00:45,019 --> 01:00:43,709 the way it wasn't just the Condon study 1208 01:00:47,900 --> 01:00:45,029 it was the New York Times 1209 01:00:51,049 --> 01:00:47,910 it was the Academy of Sciences it was 1210 01:00:55,219 --> 01:00:51,059 all of that so if you were sitting in 1211 01:00:59,180 --> 01:00:55,229 why would you risk your your career you 1212 01:01:04,009 --> 01:00:59,190 know as an intelligence analyst 1213 01:01:08,329 --> 01:01:04,019 somewhere or as military officer with 1214 01:01:11,359 --> 01:01:08,339 access to data to evolve with materials 1215 01:01:14,059 --> 01:01:11,369 why would you risk your career by going 1216 01:01:15,620 --> 01:01:14,069 public with it when you know that the 1217 01:01:18,079 --> 01:01:15,630 scientific community is going to laugh 1218 01:01:21,620 --> 01:01:18,089 at it we have that's what we have to 1219 01:01:23,029 --> 01:01:21,630 change and starting with public again 1220 01:01:28,160 --> 01:01:23,039 that comes back to the movie 1221 01:01:31,219 --> 01:01:28,170 right so is there more data yes on the 1222 01:01:33,049 --> 01:01:31,229 other hand many of these people are you 1223 01:01:35,209 --> 01:01:33,059 know in a basement somewhere literally 1224 01:01:37,729 --> 01:01:35,219 they haven't done what I've done 1225 01:01:40,849 --> 01:01:37,739 I mean I've you know I've gone to Brazil 1226 01:01:44,299 --> 01:01:40,859 four times extensively has gone through 1227 01:01:49,009 --> 01:01:44,309 Argentina several times I know friends 1228 01:01:51,529 --> 01:01:49,019 pretty well and then in other countries 1229 01:01:54,559 --> 01:01:51,539 in South America have gone to Russia six 1230 01:01:59,150 --> 01:01:54,569 times and I know the people who are 1231 01:02:04,339 --> 01:01:59,160 doing the research there and the the 1232 01:02:09,920 --> 01:02:04,349 data is available if you're serious and 1233 01:02:13,059 --> 01:02:09,930 you gain what you have to gain is the 1234 01:02:17,329 --> 01:02:13,069 trust of people it's not a question of 1235 01:02:20,509 --> 01:02:17,339 time and money so much the money could 1236 01:02:24,530 --> 01:02:20,519 help to some extent but we've done a lot 1237 01:02:27,500 --> 01:02:24,540 of stuff with no money and if 1238 01:02:30,230 --> 01:02:27,510 be told a lot of great companies have 1239 01:02:35,410 --> 01:02:30,240 been built here in Silicon Valley with 1240 01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:35,420 no money at least the prototype 1241 01:02:43,040 --> 01:02:40,410 including the transistor and the 1242 01:02:45,980 --> 01:02:43,050 integrated circuit and things like that 1243 01:02:49,520 --> 01:02:45,990 under many came once there was something 1244 01:02:53,930 --> 01:02:49,530 in the lab network but people had to 1245 01:02:57,980 --> 01:02:53,940 spend their own time very often or risk 1246 01:03:00,320 --> 01:02:57,990 getting fired by working on new ideas in 1247 01:03:02,750 --> 01:03:00,330 Silicon Valley before they could get too 1248 01:03:05,510 --> 01:03:02,760 many I think what you need to do is gain 1249 01:03:09,590 --> 01:03:05,520 the trust of young colleagues here and 1250 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:09,600 overseas and within the government that 1251 01:03:19,070 --> 01:03:11,610 you're serious and you're not doing this 1252 01:03:22,070 --> 01:03:19,080 just to know to to be regarded as some 1253 01:03:24,770 --> 01:03:22,080 some great some great scientist but 1254 01:03:26,990 --> 01:03:24,780 you're doing it to with the hope to 1255 01:03:31,070 --> 01:03:27,000 build a team and to get some results I 1256 01:03:32,510 --> 01:03:31,080 want to thank you jock and also I'm 1257 01:03:34,700 --> 01:03:32,520 going to let the audience know Jacques 1258 01:03:36,650 --> 01:03:34,710 said to me earlier today it's going to 1259 01:03:38,330 --> 01:03:36,660 be James is going to be on with me right 1260 01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:38,340 it's going to be great that the two of 1261 01:03:49,520 --> 01:03:41,010 us around together James didn't say one 1262 01:03:52,880 --> 01:03:49,530 word well I think I shot because you 1263 01:03:55,010 --> 01:03:52,890 said I was a young guy I wanted to I 1264 01:03:58,040 --> 01:03:55,020 need to work with him because I'm old 1265 01:04:04,610 --> 01:03:58,050 you know I knew where the bodies are 1266 01:04:06,530 --> 01:04:04,620 buried very caring wait but no I'd like 1267 01:04:10,400 --> 01:04:06,540 these people so I know what they were 1268 01:04:15,260 --> 01:04:10,410 thinking I I knew I mean we spent a lot 1269 01:04:18,740 --> 01:04:15,270 of time working on Socorro and of course 1270 01:04:22,220 --> 01:04:18,750 dr. Hynek was it so Carl and there were 1271 01:04:24,590 --> 01:04:22,230 some strange things about what when and 1272 01:04:27,770 --> 01:04:24,600 who talked to whom when and so on well 1273 01:04:31,580 --> 01:04:27,780 if you don't know what actually happened 1274 01:04:33,860 --> 01:04:31,590 there to the people you know you're 1275 01:04:36,890 --> 01:04:33,870 going to end up with a mystery and with 1276 01:04:38,329 --> 01:04:36,900 lots of question marks well I you know I 1277 01:04:41,989 --> 01:04:38,339 wasn't within the 1278 01:04:45,499 --> 01:04:41,999 so coral but I know I know what happened 1279 01:04:47,179 --> 01:04:45,509 I knew what happened in Ann Arbor I know 1280 01:04:50,689 --> 01:04:47,189 what happened in the Michigan's from 1281 01:04:54,410 --> 01:04:50,699 swamp gas case I know and well I'm a 1282 01:04:57,739 --> 01:04:54,420 spark of all of that so I think that's 1283 01:05:00,079 --> 01:04:57,749 where my contribution can be thank I 1284 01:05:04,420 --> 01:05:00,089 should like to say really quickly yes 1285 01:05:09,499 --> 01:05:04,430 that film would not be what it is 1286 01:05:11,839 --> 01:05:09,509 without jocks major contribution and I 1287 01:05:16,249 --> 01:05:11,849 really say that seriously 1288 01:05:19,249 --> 01:05:16,259 he was instrumental in putting the 1289 01:05:21,709 --> 01:05:19,259 pieces of the puzzle together someone 1290 01:05:24,709 --> 01:05:21,719 who not didn't read about it someone who 1291 01:05:30,229 --> 01:05:24,719 was there someone who knew Condon who 1292 01:05:31,999 --> 01:05:30,239 knew dr. the the I'll think of his name 1293 01:05:33,829 --> 01:05:32,009 in a second but but basically all the 1294 01:05:36,679 --> 01:05:33,839 characters came to Nilla talked to 1295 01:05:38,630 --> 01:05:36,689 McDonald you know his doctor gave his in 1296 01:05:40,459 --> 01:05:38,640 the movie and I'm glad he's in the movie 1297 01:05:44,539 --> 01:05:40,469 I mean he was brought many of these 1298 01:05:47,599 --> 01:05:44,549 people back to life with their character 1299 01:05:50,479 --> 01:05:47,609 and their you know their thoughts and 1300 01:05:56,959 --> 01:05:50,489 and their passion and I think that's 1301 01:05:59,239 --> 01:05:56,969 what the movie is about having Jacques 1302 01:06:00,650 --> 01:05:59,249 in the Edit room with us and helping us 1303 01:06:04,939 --> 01:06:00,660 put the pieces of the puzzle together 1304 01:06:07,759 --> 01:06:04,949 was just it was huge no priceless 1305 01:06:12,559 --> 01:06:07,769 priceless is the word Jacques I want to 1306 01:06:14,239 --> 01:06:12,569 ask you one question with and maybe the 1307 01:06:18,319 --> 01:06:14,249 answer is inside of this film 1308 01:06:21,949 --> 01:06:18,329 I do not know is there one case that 1309 01:06:24,709 --> 01:06:21,959 stands out for you that you would want 1310 01:06:27,410 --> 01:06:24,719 to have covered that has been ignored 1311 01:06:32,989 --> 01:06:27,420 because you know like with ruh wah and 1312 01:06:36,589 --> 01:06:32,999 and even Zamora and Socorro hasn't you 1313 01:06:39,199 --> 01:06:36,599 know had the the attention to it and and 1314 01:06:42,049 --> 01:06:39,209 Westall but is there a case that you 1315 01:06:49,549 --> 01:06:42,059 would like to see thoroughly brought 1316 01:06:51,980 --> 01:06:49,559 forward you know many people you know 1317 01:06:55,400 --> 01:06:51,990 ask that gives me one case give me 1318 01:06:59,900 --> 01:06:55,410 best case and of course people always 1319 01:07:05,140 --> 01:06:59,910 answer Roswell and you know one case in 1320 01:07:08,960 --> 01:07:05,150 in science doesn't really mean that much 1321 01:07:12,829 --> 01:07:08,970 you can always come up I mean there are 1322 01:07:18,680 --> 01:07:12,839 some extraordinarily rare things that 1323 01:07:22,460 --> 01:07:18,690 happen that can you know change the 1324 01:07:25,310 --> 01:07:22,470 whole disturb the whole picture and what 1325 01:07:27,470 --> 01:07:25,320 you what I've been trained to do maybe 1326 01:07:31,700 --> 01:07:27,480 because I'm a computer guy you know I'm 1327 01:07:34,880 --> 01:07:31,710 I mean I I will start physics but I 1328 01:07:38,390 --> 01:07:34,890 don't really remember most of the 1329 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:38,400 equations I'm basically an information 1330 01:07:48,650 --> 01:07:42,330 science guy and AI you know my PhD was 1331 01:07:51,290 --> 01:07:48,660 in AI I look for patterns and the what's 1332 01:07:55,250 --> 01:07:51,300 great about this movie is that yes it 1333 01:08:01,130 --> 01:07:55,260 goes into specific cases as illustration 1334 01:08:03,770 --> 01:08:01,140 and goes into many many aspects of them 1335 01:08:06,800 --> 01:08:03,780 that have not been seen before by people 1336 01:08:09,760 --> 01:08:06,810 that are important but what's important 1337 01:08:13,250 --> 01:08:09,770 is what what emerges from the pattern 1338 01:08:15,560 --> 01:08:13,260 and what does what does for you what 1339 01:08:19,340 --> 01:08:15,570 what is the key element that you're 1340 01:08:20,990 --> 01:08:19,350 looking for in a pattern because with 1341 01:08:24,590 --> 01:08:21,000 your books in the way that you have 1342 01:08:27,110 --> 01:08:24,600 spoken about the phenomenon over the 1343 01:08:28,910 --> 01:08:27,120 years that there is an interdimensional 1344 01:08:31,820 --> 01:08:28,920 aspect to this there's something else 1345 01:08:34,910 --> 01:08:31,830 here that is non-physical there is the 1346 01:08:38,990 --> 01:08:34,920 the trace evidence left on bodies and 1347 01:08:41,150 --> 01:08:39,000 and people's faces for instance that are 1348 01:08:42,860 --> 01:08:41,160 you looking for that kind of consistency 1349 01:08:45,979 --> 01:08:42,870 from case to case that you're not 1350 01:08:49,459 --> 01:08:45,989 necessarily speaking about but you see 1351 01:08:52,910 --> 01:08:49,469 it and that convinces you that what had 1352 01:08:54,979 --> 01:08:52,920 happened could be extraterrestrial well 1353 01:08:57,620 --> 01:08:54,989 what you're doing in looking for 1354 01:09:01,160 --> 01:08:57,630 patterns and by the way you know if you 1355 01:09:04,729 --> 01:09:01,170 have if you're getting a thousand cases 1356 01:09:05,390 --> 01:09:04,739 a month you're going to be just looking 1357 01:09:08,329 --> 01:09:05,400 for 1358 01:09:12,349 --> 01:09:08,339 that's what we're a I can can help you 1359 01:09:15,289 --> 01:09:12,359 right if there is a pattern that matches 1360 01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:15,299 for example the moon rising through fart 1361 01:09:23,300 --> 01:09:19,650 or it matches what some new weapon can 1362 01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:23,310 do that or it matches some some common 1363 01:09:26,990 --> 01:09:24,810 phenomenon that people wouldn't 1364 01:09:30,410 --> 01:09:27,000 necessarily recognize you can eliminate 1365 01:09:33,019 --> 01:09:30,420 those cases and zero in on only ones 1366 01:09:36,110 --> 01:09:33,029 that are truly unknown now the ones that 1367 01:09:39,919 --> 01:09:36,120 are truly unknown me for example for a 1368 01:09:42,260 --> 01:09:39,929 long time the statistics that we were we 1369 01:09:45,079 --> 01:09:42,270 were looking for patterns of way you 1370 01:09:49,120 --> 01:09:45,089 know of time analysis of the waves and 1371 01:09:54,740 --> 01:09:49,130 they were following the 26 months 1372 01:09:59,630 --> 01:09:54,750 initially starting in nineteen 1950 1950 1373 01:10:02,899 --> 01:09:59,640 to 1954 1956 you know over those well 26 1374 01:10:05,479 --> 01:10:02,909 month is very City on Mouse as seen from 1375 01:10:08,510 --> 01:10:05,489 the earth the opposition's of Mouse as 1376 01:10:12,320 --> 01:10:08,520 seen from the earth so does that mean 1377 01:10:15,100 --> 01:10:12,330 that they you know come from Mouse well 1378 01:10:18,649 --> 01:10:15,110 after that the pattern breaks down and 1379 01:10:23,149 --> 01:10:18,659 it breaks down in 1957 at the time of 1380 01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:23,159 Sputnik why but when you look at the 1381 01:10:27,830 --> 01:10:25,530 data that the people who are not seeing 1382 01:10:32,860 --> 01:10:27,840 Sputnik they were seeing something in 1383 01:10:35,750 --> 01:10:32,870 their backyard and it wasn't Sputnik so 1384 01:10:38,990 --> 01:10:35,760 that looks or banner and teaches you a 1385 01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:39,000 lot about what the phenomenon is or is 1386 01:10:49,459 --> 01:10:43,530 not then you know you're left with the 1387 01:10:55,820 --> 01:10:49,469 unknowns and again what what you want is 1388 01:10:58,340 --> 01:10:55,830 to begin to at that point you know any 1389 01:11:03,200 --> 01:10:58,350 scientist who is not the complete idiot 1390 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:03,210 will realize with what he or she has you 1391 01:11:11,630 --> 01:11:06,810 know on in the lab is something is an 1392 01:11:13,490 --> 01:11:11,640 intelligence that can change a little 1393 01:11:18,110 --> 01:11:13,500 bit like the people who study dolphins 1394 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:18,120 you know you play games I remember 1395 01:11:28,430 --> 01:11:21,930 generally talking about dolphins and the 1396 01:11:31,850 --> 01:11:28,440 dolphin had to go to come and grab 1397 01:11:35,180 --> 01:11:31,860 something within 20 seconds you know to 1398 01:11:38,110 --> 01:11:35,190 get some food and that was a game that 1399 01:11:40,850 --> 01:11:38,120 he had they had invented and they were 1400 01:11:42,980 --> 01:11:40,860 giving scores to the dolphins if they 1401 01:11:44,930 --> 01:11:42,990 did it right and the dolphin would get 1402 01:11:48,470 --> 01:11:44,940 some food well after a while the 1403 01:11:51,650 --> 01:11:48,480 Dolphins would swim to the hand of the 1404 01:11:56,570 --> 01:11:51,660 pool and sink to the bottom and stay 1405 01:12:00,620 --> 01:11:56,580 there until the second number 18 and 1406 01:12:03,830 --> 01:12:00,630 then the dolphin would just fly out of 1407 01:12:07,460 --> 01:12:03,840 the water and jump to the end then grab 1408 01:12:10,340 --> 01:12:07,470 the food just before the 20 seconds well 1409 01:12:14,300 --> 01:12:10,350 that's when you know that this is not 1410 01:12:17,030 --> 01:12:14,310 just a game that the dolphin has gotten 1411 01:12:19,550 --> 01:12:17,040 it understands the rules is playing with 1412 01:12:22,040 --> 01:12:19,560 you and putting you on the spot 1413 01:12:24,050 --> 01:12:22,050 essentially by saying hey you know I 1414 01:12:25,310 --> 01:12:24,060 know what you're trying to do and I'm 1415 01:12:28,060 --> 01:12:25,320 smarter than that 1416 01:12:31,730 --> 01:12:28,070 well the us fools are doing that rightly 1417 01:12:34,730 --> 01:12:31,740 every time we think that we're going to 1418 01:12:37,760 --> 01:12:34,740 really understand where they're going to 1419 01:12:41,780 --> 01:12:37,770 go next it doesn't happen quite that way 1420 01:12:45,290 --> 01:12:41,790 or you know the appearance changes or 1421 01:12:50,690 --> 01:12:45,300 the lights change something changes it's 1422 01:12:54,260 --> 01:12:50,700 to some extent it's a game so you know 1423 01:12:55,790 --> 01:12:54,270 you would be could be excused by saying 1424 01:12:59,690 --> 01:12:55,800 maybe they are trying to teach us 1425 01:13:02,300 --> 01:12:59,700 something but there are things in the 1426 01:13:04,660 --> 01:13:02,310 environment that can give that 1427 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:04,670 impression also of playing games with us 1428 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:09,170 and this is where we need a lot of data 1429 01:13:15,500 --> 01:13:11,850 and that's where we need people who are 1430 01:13:18,260 --> 01:13:15,510 trained to look at data and to look at 1431 01:13:21,080 --> 01:13:18,270 this particular kind of data let me tell 1432 01:13:24,230 --> 01:13:21,090 you it takes two years the idea that you 1433 01:13:26,800 --> 01:13:24,240 can hire somebody who is you know good 1434 01:13:30,590 --> 01:13:26,810 at artificial intelligence and get a 1435 01:13:31,849 --> 01:13:30,600 bunch of people and give them a bunch of 1436 01:13:34,310 --> 01:13:31,859 reports and tell 1437 01:13:35,989 --> 01:13:34,320 to code the report and then the computer 1438 01:13:37,759 --> 01:13:35,999 is going to give you an answer in six 1439 01:13:43,189 --> 01:13:37,769 months that's not true 1440 01:13:47,989 --> 01:13:43,199 it's just like intelligence you know in 1441 01:13:50,629 --> 01:13:47,999 the or it's just like learning your 1442 01:13:54,199 --> 01:13:50,639 language and understanding the culture 1443 01:13:56,779 --> 01:13:54,209 through learning the language it's it's 1444 01:13:59,989 --> 01:13:56,789 something that we need to train the 1445 01:14:03,169 --> 01:13:59,999 cadre of people to come to grips with 1446 01:14:07,189 --> 01:14:03,179 the phenomenon with no preconceived idea 1447 01:14:10,159 --> 01:14:07,199 of what it is I have to ask you this I 1448 01:14:12,129 --> 01:14:10,169 can't let you go without without going 1449 01:14:18,739 --> 01:14:12,139 here 1450 01:14:22,750 --> 01:14:18,749 okay all of history until now Jacque all 1451 01:14:25,939 --> 01:14:22,760 of history was the question of other 1452 01:14:30,259 --> 01:14:25,949 planets out there beyond our solar 1453 01:14:32,509 --> 01:14:30,269 system right would there be one would 1454 01:14:33,169 --> 01:14:32,519 there be two would there be ten in the 1455 01:14:36,619 --> 01:14:33,179 Milky Way 1456 01:14:39,489 --> 01:14:36,629 well now over the last ten years 1457 01:14:43,969 --> 01:14:39,499 especially and over the last five years 1458 01:14:47,839 --> 01:14:43,979 significantly we now know that there are 1459 01:14:53,629 --> 01:14:47,849 1 trillion planets in the Milky Way and 1460 01:14:57,199 --> 01:14:53,639 that up to 100 billion of them are rocky 1461 01:14:59,209 --> 01:14:57,209 earth-like planets now that changes the 1462 01:14:59,989 --> 01:14:59,219 game doesn't it not only with the Drake 1463 01:15:02,989 --> 01:14:59,999 Equation 1464 01:15:09,020 --> 01:15:02,999 but with relieving the pressure on our 1465 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:09,030 brains wondering because you know where 1466 01:15:17,899 --> 01:15:12,449 are they there are so many of them why 1467 01:15:19,969 --> 01:15:17,909 don't we see them or do we see then how 1468 01:15:28,279 --> 01:15:19,979 do we not see them because we are not 1469 01:15:30,589 --> 01:15:28,289 looking in the right way I know that's 1470 01:15:33,049 --> 01:15:30,599 what my the argument that I have my 1471 01:15:37,189 --> 01:15:33,059 friends at City they say you know by now 1472 01:15:39,799 --> 01:15:37,199 it should be obvious it's not obvious it 1473 01:15:43,250 --> 01:15:39,809 shouldn't be just some vague shape in 1474 01:15:45,350 --> 01:15:43,260 the backyard or a light or you know or 1475 01:15:50,660 --> 01:15:45,360 even something flying over an air 1476 01:15:53,680 --> 01:15:50,670 carrier it should be very clear then we 1477 01:15:59,290 --> 01:15:53,690 should have learned to recognize her and 1478 01:16:02,300 --> 01:15:59,300 so it seems so you have a dissonance 1479 01:16:05,750 --> 01:16:02,310 discontinuity that yes we know that 1480 01:16:08,629 --> 01:16:05,760 there must be that many planets we know 1481 01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:08,639 that life cannot be that you know 1482 01:16:13,010 --> 01:16:10,770 strange and unique there are different 1483 01:16:17,390 --> 01:16:13,020 ways of getting an intelligent animal 1484 01:16:20,780 --> 01:16:17,400 out of a bunch of chemicals and nature 1485 01:16:27,109 --> 01:16:20,790 is very rich in all the ways it can do 1486 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:27,119 that so how come they are not here how 1487 01:16:32,750 --> 01:16:29,130 are they here but in a completely 1488 01:16:35,390 --> 01:16:32,760 different form or or frequency I think 1489 01:16:38,750 --> 01:16:35,400 that's right right or frequency they 1490 01:16:42,140 --> 01:16:38,760 could be literally phasing in and out of 1491 01:16:46,280 --> 01:16:42,150 our existence not only with our vision 1492 01:16:48,250 --> 01:16:46,290 but our hearing and an our world right 1493 01:16:53,260 --> 01:16:48,260 I'm talking about a parallel situation 1494 01:17:05,169 --> 01:16:58,340 so but those are you know hypotheses and 1495 01:17:08,629 --> 01:17:05,179 no to make something clear dr. Hynek 1496 01:17:12,859 --> 01:17:08,639 when he was teaching at Northwestern 1497 01:17:18,590 --> 01:17:12,869 when I was at Northwestern with him was 1498 01:17:21,050 --> 01:17:18,600 teaching the kids that any star mean we 1499 01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:21,060 were talking about classifications of 1500 01:17:32,120 --> 01:17:27,570 stars our Sun is a G G type stands that 1501 01:17:35,629 --> 01:17:32,130 any slowly rotating yellow star like the 1502 01:17:38,720 --> 01:17:35,639 Sun had to have planets that's why it's 1503 01:17:41,750 --> 01:17:38,730 Forte it's rotating slowly and if it's 1504 01:17:44,390 --> 01:17:41,760 yellow is probably kind of old and 1505 01:17:48,439 --> 01:17:44,400 stable and it's going to be stable for a 1506 01:17:50,419 --> 01:17:48,449 long time so any planets there there our 1507 01:17:52,430 --> 01:17:50,429 Sun would be too hot and some will be 1508 01:17:55,459 --> 01:17:52,440 too cold but there would be something 1509 01:17:57,950 --> 01:17:55,469 would be close enough to have water in 1510 01:17:59,720 --> 01:17:57,960 liquid form and once you have water in 1511 01:18:01,280 --> 01:17:59,730 liquid form 1512 01:18:04,160 --> 01:18:01,290 you know there are all kinds of things 1513 01:18:06,830 --> 01:18:04,170 that can happen in biology and if you 1514 01:18:09,290 --> 01:18:06,840 have a started stable single style 1515 01:18:13,670 --> 01:18:09,300 although now people are talking about 1516 01:18:16,150 --> 01:18:13,680 double Styles having planets but that 1517 01:18:19,190 --> 01:18:16,160 could support life and III don't know 1518 01:18:23,020 --> 01:18:19,200 you know where we're going with that but 1519 01:18:26,890 --> 01:18:23,030 certainly enough single yellow stars 1520 01:18:30,500 --> 01:18:26,900 just in our solar neighborhood to 1521 01:18:33,710 --> 01:18:30,510 indicate that life must be and he was 1522 01:18:36,230 --> 01:18:33,720 teaching that okay I mean this was in 1523 01:18:41,290 --> 01:18:36,240 the days when people were saying well 1524 01:18:45,140 --> 01:18:41,300 life is probably very rare you know and 1525 01:18:50,300 --> 01:18:45,150 so we should remember that there are 1526 01:18:53,000 --> 01:18:50,310 some great teachers around the as we 1527 01:18:53,840 --> 01:18:53,010 move ahead and this is the thing as we 1528 01:18:59,050 --> 01:18:53,850 move ahead 1529 01:19:03,680 --> 01:18:59,060 do you anticipate more cooperation from 1530 01:19:06,290 --> 01:19:03,690 different state actors and and certainly 1531 01:19:08,990 --> 01:19:06,300 within our own country because they need 1532 01:19:12,410 --> 01:19:09,000 to respond to the public's interest with 1533 01:19:17,420 --> 01:19:12,420 films like the phenomenon that maybe 1534 01:19:22,100 --> 01:19:17,430 we'll start to see that cooperation well 1535 01:19:26,540 --> 01:19:22,110 if you look at the history of science 1536 01:19:28,880 --> 01:19:26,550 and technology and so on it the 1537 01:19:32,740 --> 01:19:28,890 government can do extraordinarily good 1538 01:19:35,650 --> 01:19:32,750 things in my career have been funded by 1539 01:19:42,310 --> 01:19:35,660 both the National Science Foundation and 1540 01:19:44,450 --> 01:19:42,320 by DARPA but the incentive has to come 1541 01:19:47,570 --> 01:19:44,460 you know they are not going to knock on 1542 01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:47,580 your door and ask you if you have you 1543 01:19:54,590 --> 01:19:51,650 know a bright kid who could enlist in 1544 01:19:57,650 --> 01:19:54,600 five years of study so that he could 1545 01:19:59,440 --> 01:19:57,660 discover x y&z I mean you have to 1546 01:20:03,730 --> 01:19:59,450 discover it first you know 1547 01:20:09,050 --> 01:20:03,740 you have to you have to do the hard work 1548 01:20:10,910 --> 01:20:09,060 and sometimes with no support and you 1549 01:20:13,160 --> 01:20:10,920 know that's and then you discover 1550 01:20:15,189 --> 01:20:13,170 something or you become 1551 01:20:19,700 --> 01:20:15,199 really good at doing something that 1552 01:20:24,470 --> 01:20:19,710 other people want to join and and then 1553 01:20:28,939 --> 01:20:24,480 you did the government with maybe no 1554 01:20:32,570 --> 01:20:28,949 capital G may take notice and if it 1555 01:20:36,439 --> 01:20:32,580 matches something that they think would 1556 01:20:39,320 --> 01:20:36,449 be useful to the economy are useful to 1557 01:20:43,610 --> 01:20:39,330 knowledge in general then you have a 1558 01:20:47,870 --> 01:20:43,620 chance of getting funded but you know 1559 01:20:52,820 --> 01:20:47,880 again I believe in individual initiative 1560 01:20:55,669 --> 01:20:52,830 and people who are brave enough to do 1561 01:20:58,430 --> 01:20:55,679 this that is to begin to explore it on 1562 01:20:59,150 --> 01:20:58,440 their own and make all the mistakes 1563 01:21:04,610 --> 01:20:59,160 along the way 1564 01:21:08,030 --> 01:21:04,620 and that's that's how you learn one last 1565 01:21:13,100 --> 01:21:08,040 one last question before I have to let 1566 01:21:16,390 --> 01:21:13,110 you go is it seems that France United 1567 01:21:22,130 --> 01:21:16,400 Kingdom even Italy Brazil Argentina 1568 01:21:26,090 --> 01:21:22,140 Chile Mexico these these countries have 1569 01:21:29,270 --> 01:21:26,100 been very open and willing to discuss 1570 01:21:31,850 --> 01:21:29,280 this out in the open and and not hide 1571 01:21:35,180 --> 01:21:31,860 behind it but the United States has 1572 01:21:38,419 --> 01:21:35,190 chosen to not discuss it and almost 1573 01:21:40,250 --> 01:21:38,429 ridicule the public on that the opposite 1574 01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:40,260 of these other countries that I've just 1575 01:21:49,520 --> 01:21:45,290 mentioned is it I hear that argument on 1576 01:21:52,490 --> 01:21:49,530 the other hand I was given access to the 1577 01:21:57,290 --> 01:21:52,500 Air Force fight which were 12,000 cases 1578 01:21:59,570 --> 01:21:57,300 at the time and I you know I punched it 1579 01:22:02,810 --> 01:21:59,580 into punch cards in those days and I 1580 01:22:05,919 --> 01:22:02,820 built my first catalog out of that with 1581 01:22:10,070 --> 01:22:05,929 the blessing of the Air Force I mean the 1582 01:22:13,400 --> 01:22:10,080 there was I mean the only rule was to 1583 01:22:15,709 --> 01:22:13,410 preserve the privacy of of the witnesses 1584 01:22:17,840 --> 01:22:15,719 but the the Air Force would have been 1585 01:22:21,290 --> 01:22:17,850 delighted is more scientists at common 1586 01:22:25,160 --> 01:22:21,300 and at the time you know I was a French 1587 01:22:27,740 --> 01:22:25,170 citizen with a green card I was 1588 01:22:29,810 --> 01:22:27,750 not even a citizen you know I only 1589 01:22:37,370 --> 01:22:29,820 became a citizen when I worked at SR I 1590 01:22:42,830 --> 01:22:37,380 in the early 70s and so the you know the 1591 01:22:43,250 --> 01:22:42,840 the Air Force was quite open with all of 1592 01:22:45,709 --> 01:22:43,260 them 1593 01:22:47,840 --> 01:22:45,719 obviously me and you know that in that 1594 01:22:50,870 --> 01:22:47,850 you know about weapons or anything else 1595 01:22:52,610 --> 01:22:50,880 as they kept it for themselves but one 1596 01:22:54,800 --> 01:22:52,620 thousand cases and I could work on them 1597 01:22:57,470 --> 01:22:54,810 hold on Jacque what were you saying 1598 01:23:00,320 --> 01:22:57,480 James I I'm so sorry guys I didn't mean 1599 01:23:01,880 --> 01:23:00,330 to butt in here but Jacques the one 1600 01:23:04,910 --> 01:23:01,890 thing that bothers me about that 1601 01:23:08,630 --> 01:23:04,920 statement is that you know we go into 1602 01:23:10,459 --> 01:23:08,640 great depth obviously with your help to 1603 01:23:13,010 --> 01:23:10,469 Socorro that was a landing case one of 1604 01:23:15,530 --> 01:23:13,020 the most well-documented first Close 1605 01:23:18,080 --> 01:23:15,540 Encounters of the Third Kind in in US 1606 01:23:20,270 --> 01:23:18,090 history and then just two years later 1607 01:23:21,590 --> 01:23:20,280 they were you know congressional 1608 01:23:24,650 --> 01:23:21,600 hearings there were statements by the 1609 01:23:27,020 --> 01:23:24,660 air force in uniform say that there was 1610 01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:27,030 absolutely no evidence was whatsoever to 1611 01:23:31,700 --> 01:23:29,130 suggest that UFOs could be you know 1612 01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:31,710 visitors from somewhere else and I just 1613 01:23:36,110 --> 01:23:33,330 thought wait a minute didn't you guys 1614 01:23:38,330 --> 01:23:36,120 just extensively research that landing 1615 01:23:41,660 --> 01:23:38,340 case from a police officer in Socorro 1616 01:23:45,160 --> 01:23:41,670 two years earlier so clearly they were 1617 01:23:47,419 --> 01:23:45,170 doing everything they could to keep that 1618 01:23:49,070 --> 01:23:47,429 element of the phenomenon out of the 1619 01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:49,080 eyes of the general public so there was 1620 01:23:58,130 --> 01:23:53,489 in a sense an effort to I hate to use 1621 01:24:00,709 --> 01:23:58,140 the word cover-up but yes yes well I 1622 01:24:04,220 --> 01:24:00,719 used to have that discussion with with 1623 01:24:07,910 --> 01:24:04,230 Allen Hynek and you know he set me down 1624 01:24:09,800 --> 01:24:07,920 and said look stop talking about the Air 1625 01:24:12,080 --> 01:24:09,810 Force there is no such thing at 1626 01:24:15,020 --> 01:24:12,090 different times I mean these people come 1627 01:24:18,140 --> 01:24:15,030 and go in those positions typically 1628 01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:18,150 there are two years in behind a desk and 1629 01:24:27,709 --> 01:24:21,650 then two years in in Germany you know 1630 01:24:30,580 --> 01:24:27,719 managing a flight squadron and then 1631 01:24:34,610 --> 01:24:30,590 there are two years in some other place 1632 01:24:37,830 --> 01:24:34,620 training training pilots or doing 1633 01:24:44,360 --> 01:24:40,860 the management comes and goes the the 1634 01:24:47,700 --> 01:24:44,370 attitude of the public comes and goes 1635 01:24:52,550 --> 01:24:47,710 the the fact that there was something at 1636 01:24:57,020 --> 01:24:52,560 Socorro that they could not explain was 1637 01:25:00,420 --> 01:24:57,030 known to everybody it didn't mean that 1638 01:25:02,010 --> 01:25:00,430 we were visited by everybody in Flint 1639 01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:02,020 that there was something that we could 1640 01:25:08,010 --> 01:25:05,290 not explain or would not because they 1641 01:25:09,900 --> 01:25:08,020 were for a long time we thought that but 1642 01:25:13,110 --> 01:25:09,910 they were this could have be good have 1643 01:25:15,830 --> 01:25:13,120 been an antigravity device it could have 1644 01:25:22,050 --> 01:25:15,840 been you know I I tracked down a company 1645 01:25:26,730 --> 01:25:22,060 that was very hush-hush that were 1646 01:25:29,910 --> 01:25:26,740 studying gravity they had physicists yet 1647 01:25:32,040 --> 01:25:29,920 you know and maybe they had built a 1648 01:25:37,010 --> 01:25:32,050 prototype and it had to land there for a 1649 01:25:40,500 --> 01:25:37,020 while it took off again I don't know so 1650 01:25:43,950 --> 01:25:40,510 there could be several motivations for 1651 01:25:46,560 --> 01:25:43,960 that I think at the time to the total to 1652 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:46,570 address your question specifically I 1653 01:25:53,340 --> 01:25:49,930 think the Air Force did not want the 1654 01:25:57,570 --> 01:25:53,350 public to get to get too excited about 1655 01:26:01,080 --> 01:25:57,580 this because it among other things they 1656 01:26:04,950 --> 01:26:01,090 were afraid of saturating their their 1657 01:26:07,940 --> 01:26:04,960 communication channels and this was very 1658 01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:07,950 much what the the Robertson panel had 1659 01:26:16,580 --> 01:26:12,010 recommended you know to and at the time 1660 01:26:19,980 --> 01:26:16,590 those recommendations were classified to 1661 01:26:22,770 --> 01:26:19,990 to come the public so that there would 1662 01:26:24,810 --> 01:26:22,780 be fewer reports because even were too 1663 01:26:27,990 --> 01:26:24,820 many reports through the military 1664 01:26:30,290 --> 01:26:28,000 channels it could saturate and can this 1665 01:26:33,890 --> 01:26:30,300 almost happened at the time of the 1666 01:26:37,110 --> 01:26:33,900 Washington flight you know when 1667 01:26:40,040 --> 01:26:37,120 Washington was overthrown by a lot of 1668 01:26:43,980 --> 01:26:40,050 things that could not be recognized and 1669 01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:43,990 the communication channels of the Air 1670 01:26:47,910 --> 01:26:45,370 Force 1671 01:26:50,400 --> 01:26:47,920 essentially were cloud by all the 1672 01:26:51,509 --> 01:26:50,410 reports from they want people from their 1673 01:26:55,489 --> 01:26:51,519 own bases 1674 01:26:59,759 --> 01:26:55,499 so they really wanted to get rid of it 1675 01:27:02,250 --> 01:26:59,769 to be blunt and I think those statements 1676 01:27:05,069 --> 01:27:02,260 where along those lines and of course 1677 01:27:08,970 --> 01:27:05,079 the same thing happened in with a swamp 1678 01:27:11,279 --> 01:27:08,980 gas case Chuck

01:29:55,510 it didn't get past the audience I was 1724 01:30:02,540 --> 01:30:00,400 watching them on Twitter and he said of 1725 01:30:06,900 --> 01:30:02,550 course the government has crash 1726 01:30:08,760 --> 01:30:06,910 retrievals what when you hear jock tell 1727 01:30:12,360 --> 01:30:08,770 a some say something like that what's 1728 01:30:15,410 --> 01:30:12,370 going through your mind the conversation 1729 01:30:17,850 --> 01:30:15,420 I had with them off-the-record surprised 1730 01:30:19,920 --> 01:30:17,860 when you said are there things that you 1731 01:30:21,720 --> 01:30:19,930 that you know Jacques all I could think 1732 01:30:27,810 --> 01:30:21,730 of is that I asked the exact same 1733 01:30:30,090 --> 01:30:27,820 question in private III have to and and 1734 01:30:35,370 --> 01:30:30,100 his answers you know what and I don't 1735 01:30:38,100 --> 01:30:35,380 want to say things to the audience that 1736 01:30:40,950 --> 01:30:38,110 that are uncool look when you have 1737 01:30:42,600 --> 01:30:40,960 private conversations with people you 1738 01:30:45,870 --> 01:30:42,610 have to respect that they have to stay 1739 01:30:49,350 --> 01:30:45,880 private dock till has a top secret 1740 01:30:52,020 --> 01:30:49,360 clearance that's right yes I know he has 1741 01:30:53,400 --> 01:30:52,030 security clearance is still because he 1742 01:30:54,930 --> 01:30:53,410 had brought those up with me on a couple 1743 01:30:58,920 --> 01:30:54,940 of occasions because I asked him to talk 1744 01:31:06,360 --> 01:30:58,930 about a tip and he had briefed members 1745 01:31:08,430 --> 01:31:06,370 of the Senate on that project during 1746 01:31:12,770 --> 01:31:08,440 that project I believe he said he still 1747 01:31:14,580 --> 01:31:12,780 held a classification but anyway yeah so 1748 01:31:18,020 --> 01:31:14,590 yeah yeah 1749 01:31:21,690 --> 01:31:18,030 let's just put it this way jacques neau 1750 01:31:25,410 --> 01:31:21,700 he does he does and that's you know I I 1751 01:31:29,370 --> 01:31:25,420 have to ask him that question as 1752 01:31:32,400 --> 01:31:29,380 difficult as it may be for me to ask 1753 01:31:34,020 --> 01:31:32,410 that but it's a question that needs to 1754 01:31:38,100 --> 01:31:34,030 be asked and the audience has to hear 1755 01:31:40,020 --> 01:31:38,110 the answer whatever it may be and and 1756 01:31:45,480 --> 01:31:40,030 being able to go there with Jacques look 1757 01:31:48,290 --> 01:31:45,490 he he has I think a great respect for 1758 01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:48,300 the community and he has certainly 1759 01:31:57,030 --> 01:31:51,810 rolled the dice and pushed this question 1760 01:32:00,000 --> 01:31:57,040 and committed a life to this and and 1761 01:32:02,730 --> 01:32:00,010 hearing his answer whatever it may be 1762 01:32:05,270 --> 01:32:02,740 comes from a place of respect and it was 1763 01:32:10,440 --> 01:32:05,280 just amazing now let's go back to 1764 01:32:14,250 --> 01:32:10,450 Socorro for a second and you're 1765 01:32:17,190 --> 01:32:14,260 absolutely right okay and and the way 1766 01:32:21,750 --> 01:32:17,200 that you presented that to Jacques is an 1767 01:32:26,520 --> 01:32:21,760 honest as an honest question 1768 01:32:29,550 --> 01:32:26,530 it needs to be asked because Hynek now 1769 01:32:32,910 --> 01:32:29,560 you've researched this enough but Hynek 1770 01:32:37,050 --> 01:32:32,920 was on the scene like the next day right 1771 01:32:38,970 --> 01:32:37,060 he literally was at the here's that yeah 1772 01:32:40,320 --> 01:32:38,980 yes totally and and here's the thing 1773 01:32:43,880 --> 01:32:40,330 that Jacques didn't mentioned tonight 1774 01:32:48,210 --> 01:32:43,890 and I found fascinating and that was 1775 01:32:52,200 --> 01:32:48,220 during that period in 1964 just before 1776 01:32:54,570 --> 01:32:52,210 Socorro happened Jacques was bending the 1777 01:32:56,760 --> 01:32:54,580 year of dr. J Allen Hynek who we all 1778 01:32:58,500 --> 01:32:56,770 know that was the scientific advisor to 1779 01:33:00,960 --> 01:32:58,510 the Air Force project Bluebook and 1780 01:33:03,270 --> 01:33:00,970 Jacques was saying look you know he had 1781 01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:03,280 just finished cataloging all these cases 1782 01:33:06,300 --> 01:33:05,650 in France from the 50s of Close 1783 01:33:11,220 --> 01:33:06,310 Encounters 1784 01:33:13,380 --> 01:33:11,230 and so Jacque was telling Hynek look you 1785 01:33:15,950 --> 01:33:13,390 need to look under these unexplained 1786 01:33:20,070 --> 01:33:15,960 cases under the category of 1787 01:33:22,110 --> 01:33:20,080 psychological and his reasoning was you 1788 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:22,120 know there are a lot of cases in Project 1789 01:33:25,620 --> 01:33:23,410 Blue Book where you have close 1790 01:33:27,420 --> 01:33:25,630 encounters but they're quickly dismissed 1791 01:33:28,650 --> 01:33:27,430 as and they're labeled and categorizes 1792 01:33:30,630 --> 01:33:28,660 psychological because 1793 01:33:32,460 --> 01:33:30,640 it says too much it's one thing to talk 1794 01:33:34,170 --> 01:33:32,470 about unidentified craft in the air 1795 01:33:36,300 --> 01:33:34,180 something totally different to talk 1796 01:33:38,010 --> 01:33:36,310 about beings on the ground and while 1797 01:33:43,530 --> 01:33:38,020 Jacque was going through this whole 1798 01:33:46,740 --> 01:33:43,540 thing with he was actually at Air Force 1799 01:33:50,840 --> 01:33:46,750 Base in Dayton Ohio with Jacques which 1800 01:33:53,610 --> 01:33:50,850 was the headquarters for bloomer 1801 01:33:56,010 --> 01:33:53,620 headquarters for Project Blue Book I 1802 01:33:58,530 --> 01:33:56,020 think was like a day later the landing 1803 01:34:00,330 --> 01:33:58,540 happened at Socorro so the irony of the 1804 01:34:02,700 --> 01:34:00,340 whole thing and the synchronicity and 1805 01:34:04,800 --> 01:34:02,710 timing is just phenomenal and it's one 1806 01:34:06,540 --> 01:34:04,810 of the things that we uncovered when we 1807 01:34:09,240 --> 01:34:06,550 were with Jacques so Jacques like 1808 01:34:10,950 --> 01:34:09,250 painstakingly walked us through what was 1809 01:34:15,210 --> 01:34:10,960 happening in the Air Force the time what 1810 01:34:17,790 --> 01:34:15,220 was happening with dr. Hynek hynek's 180 1811 01:34:20,400 --> 01:34:17,800 started to occur that was one of the 1812 01:34:22,380 --> 01:34:20,410 cases that really profoundly affected 1813 01:34:23,670 --> 01:34:22,390 Hein it because of the caliber of the 1814 01:34:27,090 --> 01:34:23,680 witness and all the evidence that was 1815 01:34:28,980 --> 01:34:27,100 left behind the scene you know we we we 1816 01:34:30,300 --> 01:34:28,990 dug into that case for five years I mean 1817 01:34:32,100 --> 01:34:30,310 how much the National Archives and 1818 01:34:33,120 --> 01:34:32,110 funding that everyone's like oh you 1819 01:34:35,400 --> 01:34:33,130 really want to know a lot more about 1820 01:34:39,330 --> 01:34:35,410 this case you talk to a Stanford who 1821 01:34:41,160 --> 01:34:39,340 wrote the book Pentagon pantry so it's 1822 01:34:43,170 --> 01:34:41,170 officer and a Pentagon pantry something 1823 01:34:47,070 --> 01:34:43,180 like this sorry came from this exact 1824 01:34:48,660 --> 01:34:47,080 title of it you gotta go there and when 1825 01:34:50,520 --> 01:34:48,670 I went to interview race Stanford about 1826 01:34:53,610 --> 01:34:50,530 it I spent like a week at his house with 1827 01:34:56,550 --> 01:34:53,620 him and he has amazing accounts about 1828 01:34:57,420 --> 01:34:56,560 how he investigated thoroughly I tried 1829 01:34:58,950 --> 01:34:57,430 to get him to go to the National 1830 01:35:00,480 --> 01:34:58,960 Archives and he was never any part of it 1831 01:35:02,310 --> 01:35:00,490 he's like oh god you know nothing 1832 01:35:03,960 --> 01:35:02,320 everything is there was to be discovered 1833 01:35:05,970 --> 01:35:03,970 has already been discovered as complete 1834 01:35:07,140 --> 01:35:05,980 and utter waste of time long story short 1835 01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:07,150 I said well if that's the attitude 1836 01:35:11,820 --> 01:35:08,770 you're gonna have then I'm going without 1837 01:35:13,560 --> 01:35:11,830 you and and he said okay fine I'll go 1838 01:35:14,850 --> 01:35:13,570 but I'm gonna take my own car cuz up ten 1839 01:35:17,550 --> 01:35:14,860 minutes and really thoroughly fed up and 1840 01:35:19,020 --> 01:35:17,560 I'm going home well long story short we 1841 01:35:22,110 --> 01:35:19,030 got the original Project Blue Book file 1842 01:35:24,840 --> 01:35:22,120 the original copies not photocopies 1843 01:35:28,980 --> 01:35:24,850 originals not the scan not the microfilm 1844 01:35:31,560 --> 01:35:28,990 original it was when they rolled those 1845 01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:31,570 out at the National Archives we had a 1846 01:35:37,040 --> 01:35:32,770 little white gloves on it was 1847 01:35:40,140 --> 01:35:37,050 unbelievable and to see the level of 1848 01:35:41,879 --> 01:35:40,150 documentation and evidence diagrams and 1849 01:35:44,189 --> 01:35:41,889 photographs and 1850 01:35:48,149 --> 01:35:44,199 all the effort that they went through 1851 01:35:50,850 --> 01:35:48,159 the Air Force to to try and provide a 1852 01:35:52,709 --> 01:35:50,860 prosaic explanation for that case right 1853 01:35:55,080 --> 01:35:52,719 down to the footprints of the creatures 1854 01:35:56,669 --> 01:35:55,090 directly corresponding to the eyewitness 1855 01:35:59,189 --> 01:35:56,679 testimony where they were standing in 1856 01:36:00,870 --> 01:35:59,199 relation to the space to the craft that 1857 01:36:04,979 --> 01:36:00,880 was landed in the imprints of the 1858 01:36:06,060 --> 01:36:04,989 landing gear all that stuff and then to 1859 01:36:10,830 --> 01:36:06,070 see the Air Force 1860 01:36:12,450 --> 01:36:10,840 Quintanilla clinic two years later at 1861 01:36:17,070 --> 01:36:12,460 the at the congressional hearings and 1862 01:36:19,649 --> 01:36:17,080 giving statements you see it it's plain 1863 01:36:22,590 --> 01:36:19,659 and simple what they were covered it up 1864 01:36:24,390 --> 01:36:22,600 period I hate to use the word cover-up 1865 01:36:26,040 --> 01:36:24,400 and I know that Jacque doesn't like to 1866 01:36:29,459 --> 01:36:26,050 use that word either but that's what 1867 01:36:36,510 --> 01:36:29,469 they were doing do you think listening 1868 01:36:41,430 --> 01:36:36,520 to jacque's answer an attitude about it 1869 01:36:43,260 --> 01:36:41,440 he felt that I mean I mean he just said 1870 01:36:45,270 --> 01:36:43,270 it that they were cooperating with me 1871 01:36:50,189 --> 01:36:45,280 they were they were being cool with me 1872 01:36:53,370 --> 01:36:50,199 is that a method of operation where they 1873 01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:53,380 are going to make Joc comfortable right 1874 01:36:58,530 --> 01:36:56,650 and and and they would handle somebody 1875 01:37:01,080 --> 01:36:58,540 else a little bit differently to make 1876 01:37:03,479 --> 01:37:01,090 them comfortable too as well maybe not 1877 01:37:05,459 --> 01:37:03,489 cooperate all right I don't know 1878 01:37:07,500 --> 01:37:05,469 wouldn't you wouldn't you wouldn't you 1879 01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:07,510 want someone as intelligent as jock on 1880 01:37:11,100 --> 01:37:09,010 your side that's what I'm saying you 1881 01:37:13,740 --> 01:37:11,110 want him when you want him in the fold 1882 01:37:15,660 --> 01:37:13,750 I would yeah you would have to you would 1883 01:37:18,330 --> 01:37:15,670 have to I mean come on man that got mean 1884 01:37:19,709 --> 01:37:18,340 the guy's like a genius so he thinks if 1885 01:37:24,240 --> 01:37:19,719 they he's like 10 steps ahead of 1886 01:37:27,979 --> 01:37:24,250 everybody else I wanted your take on 1887 01:37:30,959 --> 01:37:27,989 this in your research with Socorro and 1888 01:37:32,820 --> 01:37:30,969 for me it's always stuck out and I don't 1889 01:37:35,550 --> 01:37:32,830 think that there's been enough focus on 1890 01:37:40,470 --> 01:37:35,560 it but that's the symbol that was on the 1891 01:37:42,780 --> 01:37:40,480 craft yeah that symbol through my 1892 01:37:46,530 --> 01:37:42,790 research of the in over the last 30 1893 01:37:50,189 --> 01:37:46,540 years I have seen that symbol around the 1894 01:37:52,379 --> 01:37:50,199 world from other eyewitnesses that have 1895 01:37:55,530 --> 01:37:52,389 described the exact same thing almost a 1896 01:37:56,640 --> 01:37:55,540 similar craft to as well that 1897 01:37:59,820 --> 01:37:56,650 Mobley didn't know anything about 1898 01:38:02,610 --> 01:37:59,830 Socorro what do you what do you make of 1899 01:38:04,860 --> 01:38:02,620 that and what have you found out okay so 1900 01:38:06,360 --> 01:38:04,870 Socorro saucer and a Pentagon pantry 1901 01:38:09,300 --> 01:38:06,370 that's the name of Ray Stanford's book 1902 01:38:11,480 --> 01:38:09,310 and ray fifty years ago had said look 1903 01:38:13,950 --> 01:38:11,490 you know there was an obfuscation they 1904 01:38:15,900 --> 01:38:13,960 deliberately and intentionally misled 1905 01:38:18,240 --> 01:38:15,910 the public and put out a different 1906 01:38:20,850 --> 01:38:18,250 symbol so they could quickly identify a 1907 01:38:22,920 --> 01:38:20,860 false claim of sighting the same craft 1908 01:38:28,020 --> 01:38:22,930 right oh no valid reason for doing that 1909 01:38:30,390 --> 01:38:28,030 night I thought was a good idea but Ray 1910 01:38:31,590 --> 01:38:30,400 was like no that's not the right symbol 1911 01:38:34,950 --> 01:38:31,600 it's not the right symbol and I think 1912 01:38:38,190 --> 01:38:34,960 people doubted him when I went to meet 1913 01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:38,200 with longings amorous family his wife's 1914 01:38:44,820 --> 01:38:40,890 marry his daughter Diane his son Michael 1915 01:38:47,820 --> 01:38:44,830 his co-workers the local sheriff from 1916 01:38:50,010 --> 01:38:47,830 the 70s they all had clarified to me 1917 01:38:53,760 --> 01:38:50,020 that that was one thing that he said the 1918 01:38:56,010 --> 01:38:53,770 past him to do one was downplay the beam 1919 01:38:58,050 --> 01:38:56,020 if you can just not talk about the beans 1920 01:38:59,940 --> 01:38:58,060 altogether that'd be great and the other 1921 01:39:01,170 --> 01:38:59,950 thing was the symbol on the craft lie 1922 01:39:04,860 --> 01:39:01,180 and st. was something else 1923 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:04,870 draw something different and when we 1924 01:39:09,420 --> 01:39:07,090 were and Noah's really had had 1925 01:39:13,200 --> 01:39:09,430 definitive proof of what the symbol was 1926 01:39:15,510 --> 01:39:13,210 other than made heard accounts of it 1927 01:39:17,730 --> 01:39:15,520 from Lonnie before the the the Air Force 1928 01:39:20,150 --> 01:39:17,740 arrived but it or the military arrived 1929 01:39:23,250 --> 01:39:20,160 about an hour so after the incident the 1930 01:39:27,120 --> 01:39:23,260 the the plants were still smoldering 1931 01:39:29,430 --> 01:39:27,130 from the heat no one had known other 1932 01:39:31,260 --> 01:39:29,440 than his description of what it was it 1933 01:39:33,090 --> 01:39:31,270 was an inverted V with with three lines 1934 01:39:36,240 --> 01:39:33,100 what it actually really looked like 1935 01:39:38,550 --> 01:39:36,250 until we found the document in the 1936 01:39:40,200 --> 01:39:38,560 National Archives there's a there's a 1937 01:39:42,300 --> 01:39:40,210 photograph Adhan a photograph of it 1938 01:39:44,850 --> 01:39:42,310 online at the grey Stanford and symbol 1939 01:39:49,800 --> 01:39:44,860 Socorro symbol but we found it in dr. 1940 01:39:52,050 --> 01:39:49,810 Hynek own handwriting yes and the real 1941 01:39:55,200 --> 01:39:52,060 simple the real symbol was an inverted D 1942 01:39:57,420 --> 01:39:55,210 it looks like an A with three lines two 1943 01:40:00,710 --> 01:39:57,430 on the inside and one on top that's the 1944 01:40:05,070 --> 01:40:00,720 real symbol have you seen that symbol 1945 01:40:07,200 --> 01:40:05,080 replicated no I haven't no I I 1946 01:40:09,419 --> 01:40:07,210 personally haven't neither Jacques I 1947 01:40:10,890 --> 01:40:09,429 gave Jacque the document and he 1948 01:40:13,490 --> 01:40:10,900 done extensive research and he hasn't 1949 01:40:20,910 --> 01:40:13,500 either hmm 1950 01:40:23,399 --> 01:40:20,920 the the other part is the beings and now 1951 01:40:25,610 --> 01:40:23,409 you touch upon that I'm gonna go back to 1952 01:40:27,899 --> 01:40:25,620 the National Archives 1953 01:40:30,840 --> 01:40:27,909 okay what's presented in the film 1954 01:40:33,720 --> 01:40:30,850 everybody check that out okay that's one 1955 01:40:37,260 --> 01:40:33,730 aspect of it but going back to the 1956 01:40:40,950 --> 01:40:37,270 National Archives what did they have 1957 01:40:42,540 --> 01:40:40,960 there when it came to footprints did you 1958 01:40:44,100 --> 01:40:42,550 see original photographs of the 1959 01:40:46,709 --> 01:40:44,110 footprints what do they look like what 1960 01:40:48,870 --> 01:40:46,719 were the size okay I'm here was one 1961 01:40:53,370 --> 01:40:48,880 thing that I was dying because when when 1962 01:40:56,399 --> 01:40:53,380 we got the original a file cabinet that 1963 01:40:57,810 --> 01:40:56,409 they rolled it out on wheels of of all 1964 01:41:00,360 --> 01:40:57,820 the original documents I mean raid I 1965 01:41:02,399 --> 01:41:00,370 couldn't believe it I mean we simply 1966 01:41:04,680 --> 01:41:02,409 couldn't believe it it was like pinch 1967 01:41:08,510 --> 01:41:04,690 yourself moment and out it came and 1968 01:41:11,729 --> 01:41:08,520 there goes the halo in the sound of 1969 01:41:13,800 --> 01:41:11,739 Brian in there and and and I actually 1970 01:41:15,180 --> 01:41:13,810 about an hour into it I had to go out 1971 01:41:16,590 --> 01:41:15,190 and get a flatbed scanner because we had 1972 01:41:18,540 --> 01:41:16,600 very limited time it was very 1973 01:41:20,580 --> 01:41:18,550 time-consuming process pulling one 1974 01:41:23,160 --> 01:41:20,590 document out putting in placement holder 1975 01:41:25,709 --> 01:41:23,170 in its place going over to the photocopy 1976 01:41:26,880 --> 01:41:25,719 machine no we had to go get a scanner I 1977 01:41:28,890 --> 01:41:26,890 had to get a flatbed scanner and I went 1978 01:41:30,570 --> 01:41:28,900 back up to the office to the front desk 1979 01:41:31,830 --> 01:41:30,580 and I said gosh you know while we're at 1980 01:41:33,930 --> 01:41:31,840 it could be happening about fifty two 1981 01:41:35,250 --> 01:41:33,940 dozen uh and they said sir actually we 1982 01:41:37,050 --> 01:41:35,260 made a mistake we were not supposed to 1983 01:41:38,430 --> 01:41:37,060 have given you the originals however 1984 01:41:40,770 --> 01:41:38,440 since you have them in your possession 1985 01:41:42,689 --> 01:41:40,780 you can add them till closing time so I 1986 01:41:44,430 --> 01:41:42,699 went and got a flatbed glass scanner and 1987 01:41:46,320 --> 01:41:44,440 we just like rapid-fire went through it 1988 01:41:48,890 --> 01:41:46,330 and scanned those documents and what we 1989 01:41:53,370 --> 01:41:48,900 came across was one of the first 1990 01:41:57,180 --> 01:41:53,380 military men on the scene had done 1991 01:41:58,709 --> 01:41:57,190 diagrams of the landing site and some of 1992 01:42:00,660 --> 01:41:58,719 the eyewitness testimony that I'd talked 1993 01:42:02,550 --> 01:42:00,670 to said that you could clearly see in 1994 01:42:05,910 --> 01:42:02,560 the sand next to the landing gear 1995 01:42:07,740 --> 01:42:05,920 imprints footprints little pod palm 1996 01:42:11,459 --> 01:42:07,750 prints like small there were small 1997 01:42:13,500 --> 01:42:11,469 footprints right next to you know right 1998 01:42:16,200 --> 01:42:13,510 right next to the craft were though and 1999 01:42:18,419 --> 01:42:16,210 those were all documented clearly in the 2000 01:42:20,490 --> 01:42:18,429 film I mean you saw the section on 2001 01:42:23,190 --> 01:42:20,500 Socorro you had all the diagrams yes 2002 01:42:24,600 --> 01:42:23,200 yeah there was four clears day and they 2003 01:42:26,700 --> 01:42:24,610 they documented the footprints that 2004 01:42:29,970 --> 01:42:26,710 correspond to the exact location were 2005 01:42:31,860 --> 01:42:29,980 law he said he saw beings in fact there 2006 01:42:33,720 --> 01:42:31,870 was so little information on the beams 2007 01:42:35,340 --> 01:42:33,730 because that was an aspect of the 2008 01:42:38,130 --> 01:42:35,350 encounter that the airforce really 2009 01:42:42,810 --> 01:42:38,140 wanted him to downplay for obvious 2010 01:42:44,880 --> 01:42:42,820 reasons when I went to Wally's house and 2011 01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:44,890 and then against a whole story on how he 2012 01:42:53,400 --> 01:42:47,650 met his wife and how I befriended her 2013 01:42:58,470 --> 01:42:53,410 and we became very close I got to I said 2014 01:43:01,250 --> 01:42:58,480 the long story I got to access long his 2015 01:43:05,400 --> 01:43:01,260 personal archives and Lonnie had cut out 2016 01:43:07,020 --> 01:43:05,410 all these details of the encounter with 2017 01:43:09,450 --> 01:43:07,030 the beans of newspapers that were 2018 01:43:12,300 --> 01:43:09,460 printed within the following day or two 2019 01:43:14,970 --> 01:43:12,310 of the incident before they could tamp 2020 01:43:17,310 --> 01:43:14,980 down that aspect of the encounter and 2021 01:43:19,560 --> 01:43:17,320 Lonnie had cut those out and kept them 2022 01:43:22,950 --> 01:43:19,570 in his personal archive and that's why 2023 01:43:27,330 --> 01:43:22,960 you see descriptions in the newspapers 2024 01:43:29,070 --> 01:43:27,340 about the encounter and Lonnie made eye 2025 01:43:30,810 --> 01:43:29,080 contact with one of the beams that 2026 01:43:33,360 --> 01:43:30,820 turned and looked at him and was 2027 01:43:35,100 --> 01:43:33,370 startled when Lonnie was this long II 2028 01:43:36,990 --> 01:43:35,110 thought I was an overturned car that I 2029 01:43:40,020 --> 01:43:37,000 was a couple of children initially and 2030 01:43:42,810 --> 01:43:40,030 it's just remarkable to see that and and 2031 01:43:44,850 --> 01:43:42,820 and and and the fact that he had had 2032 01:43:46,380 --> 01:43:44,860 those of his personal archives you won't 2033 01:43:51,660 --> 01:43:46,390 find those newspaper articles anywhere 2034 01:43:53,190 --> 01:43:51,670 now how tall how tall were they they 2035 01:43:53,880 --> 01:43:53,200 were literally described in his children 2036 01:43:57,510 --> 01:43:53,890 right 2037 01:44:01,710 --> 01:43:57,520 childlike small you know four feet 2038 01:44:05,490 --> 01:44:01,720 can you describe those footprints what 2039 01:44:07,920 --> 01:44:05,500 you saw the National Archives yeah they 2040 01:44:11,820 --> 01:44:07,930 were just small they were just a few you 2041 01:44:14,340 --> 01:44:11,830 know 4 inches 5 inches and it looked 2042 01:44:16,170 --> 01:44:14,350 like from the diagrams that there was 2043 01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:16,180 like I'm guessing they didn't say this 2044 01:44:20,850 --> 01:44:18,130 but it looked like there was a ladder or 2045 01:44:22,200 --> 01:44:20,860 some sort of and they stepped out and 2046 01:44:24,060 --> 01:44:22,210 onto the ground they took a couple steps 2047 01:44:25,920 --> 01:44:24,070 in both directions and that's when 2048 01:44:29,400 --> 01:44:25,930 Lonnie rolled up right and they got back 2049 01:44:30,750 --> 01:44:29,410 inside left in Lonnie when he first 2050 01:44:34,380 --> 01:44:30,760 stopped the vehicle he was a couple 2051 01:44:36,629 --> 01:44:34,390 hundred yards away from from the craft 2052 01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:36,639 and the beans and when he drove for 2053 01:44:40,410 --> 01:44:39,010 and got out the craft was still on the 2054 01:44:45,120 --> 01:44:40,420 ground he got within 50 feet of the 2055 01:44:50,280 --> 01:44:45,130 craft that's when he had a good one of 2056 01:44:57,090 --> 01:44:50,290 the one of the most interesting points 2057 01:45:00,660 --> 01:44:57,100 that Lonny described for me was when he 2058 01:45:03,240 --> 01:45:00,670 says that the craft you know they get 2059 01:45:08,370 --> 01:45:03,250 back on board they fire it up they rise 2060 01:45:10,680 --> 01:45:08,380 up and it sits there for for a while 2061 01:45:12,959 --> 01:45:10,690 it's above the ground and I think he 2062 01:45:17,750 --> 01:45:12,969 said it was like 30 feet right 40 feet 2063 01:45:21,450 --> 01:45:17,760 off of the ground and then took off very 2064 01:45:25,500 --> 01:45:21,460 interesting observation and I always 2065 01:45:28,439 --> 01:45:25,510 felt that while it was honest in it but 2066 01:45:31,950 --> 01:45:28,449 it was it was not how other people would 2067 01:45:36,240 --> 01:45:31,960 describe a fantasy right there will be 2068 01:45:39,479 --> 01:45:36,250 something else more you know fiction yes 2069 01:45:41,700 --> 01:45:39,489 it if you go to the lighting site which 2070 01:45:43,320 --> 01:45:41,710 I've done many times and you look at 2071 01:45:46,470 --> 01:45:43,330 where they landed on the outskirts of 2072 01:45:49,620 --> 01:45:46,480 town trying this little gully Arroyo 2073 01:45:52,080 --> 01:45:49,630 it's like if you want to if you had to 2074 01:45:54,540 --> 01:45:52,090 land and you wanted to minimize the 2075 01:45:57,270 --> 01:45:54,550 likelihood of being seen that's where 2076 01:46:01,410 --> 01:45:57,280 you would have landed they picked the 2077 01:46:06,180 --> 01:46:01,420 perfect spot to be out of sight what do 2078 01:46:09,540 --> 01:46:06,190 you make of the staying with Socorro the 2079 01:46:11,879 --> 01:46:09,550 description of the craft you know again 2080 01:46:12,600 --> 01:46:11,889 well I mean it it reminded me of the 2081 01:46:15,540 --> 01:46:12,610 tic-tac 2082 01:46:19,830 --> 01:46:15,550 I knew you were gonna go there okay 2083 01:46:25,109 --> 01:46:19,840 let's say tic-tac --is-- right but up to 2084 01:46:28,160 --> 01:46:25,119 that point the eyewitness the things 2085 01:46:32,520 --> 01:46:28,170 that were being seen across the country 2086 01:46:37,459 --> 01:46:32,530 didn't have this description to it right 2087 01:46:42,660 --> 01:46:37,469 the Lani's are more inside was singular 2088 01:46:45,089 --> 01:46:42,670 exactly right very interesting David 2089 01:46:46,589 --> 01:46:45,099 Marlar the Marlar archives he has been 2090 01:46:49,980 --> 01:46:46,599 the film wouldn't be what it is without 2091 01:46:52,470 --> 01:46:49,990 David Marlar he turned us 2092 01:46:54,950 --> 01:46:52,480 on two there was a major landing wave 2093 01:46:57,960 --> 01:46:54,960 that happened in in or around Texas in 2094 01:47:00,630 --> 01:46:57,970 1957 and we cover some of that in the 2095 01:47:03,180 --> 01:47:00,640 film to demonstrate that there were very 2096 01:47:05,250 --> 01:47:03,190 credible people police officers included 2097 01:47:07,710 --> 01:47:05,260 and people at home an Air Force Base 2098 01:47:10,410 --> 01:47:07,720 that witnessed egg-shaped crafts that 2099 01:47:14,580 --> 01:47:10,420 were landing and when and we show some 2100 01:47:16,080 --> 01:47:14,590 of those in the film and when Lonnie was 2101 01:47:17,760 --> 01:47:16,090 I don't want to use the word 2102 01:47:20,070 --> 01:47:17,770 interrogated but practically they pulled 2103 01:47:22,380 --> 01:47:20,080 him in and they spent into the wee hours 2104 01:47:24,660 --> 01:47:22,390 of the night talking with him Lonnie had 2105 01:47:27,060 --> 01:47:24,670 explained that the the military had said 2106 01:47:29,430 --> 01:47:27,070 to him yeah we cease crafter have been 2107 01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:29,440 seen all around this area and if you 2108 01:47:34,140 --> 01:47:32,010 look at Socorro as the crow flies 2109 01:47:37,050 --> 01:47:34,150 Holloman Air Force Base is a stone's 2110 01:47:39,360 --> 01:47:37,060 throw from Socorro New Mexico in fact 2111 01:47:42,090 --> 01:47:39,370 one of the things that I uncovered was 2112 01:47:43,100 --> 01:47:42,100 an article by Corral Lorenzen I don't 2113 01:47:46,350 --> 01:47:43,110 know if I pronounced your name correctly 2114 01:47:48,720 --> 01:47:46,360 but there was an a couple of articles 2115 01:47:52,710 --> 01:47:48,730 that she had written about a landing 2116 01:47:55,260 --> 01:47:52,720 case that's featured in UFOs past 2117 01:47:57,600 --> 01:47:55,270 present or future was a manager and and 2118 01:47:59,310 --> 01:47:57,610 Sandler right it's done in the 70s right 2119 01:48:00,720 --> 01:47:59,320 that alleged landing that happened at 2120 01:48:03,060 --> 01:48:00,730 Holloman where the occupants got out 2121 01:48:07,200 --> 01:48:03,070 right well that was right around the 2122 01:48:08,790 --> 01:48:07,210 same time Socorro happened and there 2123 01:48:10,410 --> 01:48:08,800 were witnesses I because I was 2124 01:48:11,640 --> 01:48:10,420 researching Socorro and I was reading 2125 01:48:13,950 --> 01:48:11,650 all the stuff I could possibly get my 2126 01:48:16,290 --> 01:48:13,960 hands on and I came across inadvertently 2127 01:48:19,260 --> 01:48:16,300 some articles that Corral and Lorenz and 2128 01:48:20,910 --> 01:48:19,270 it written about the landing Hallman and 2129 01:48:23,100 --> 01:48:20,920 there were witnesses both in the air and 2130 01:48:26,130 --> 01:48:23,110 on the ground and it validated that 2131 01:48:28,170 --> 01:48:26,140 landing case as well and and look if 2132 01:48:30,120 --> 01:48:28,180 you're willing to accept that Socorro 2133 01:48:31,560 --> 01:48:30,130 New Mexico was with extremely well 2134 01:48:35,070 --> 01:48:31,570 documented close encounter of the Third 2135 01:48:37,890 --> 01:48:35,080 Kind in other words the eyewitness who's 2136 01:48:41,520 --> 01:48:37,900 in lot of these cases is a very solid 2137 01:48:44,700 --> 01:48:41,530 eyewitness reported beings associated 2138 01:48:47,190 --> 01:48:44,710 with the craft it wouldn't be that much 2139 01:48:49,020 --> 01:48:47,200 of a stretch to assume that that landing 2140 01:48:50,610 --> 01:48:49,030 which was it far away from Holloman 2141 01:48:52,290 --> 01:48:50,620 maybe there was some activity at all 2142 01:48:54,330 --> 01:48:52,300 that they were observing maybe not I 2143 01:48:55,500 --> 01:48:54,340 don't know not far from Trinity site as 2144 01:49:01,140 --> 01:48:55,510 well where we detonated the first 2145 01:49:02,970 --> 01:49:01,150 nuclear weapon or atomic bomb so the 2146 01:49:03,780 --> 01:49:02,980 likelihood of them having cameras on 2147 01:49:06,120 --> 01:49:03,790 that 2148 01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:06,130 maybe it happened I mean you know I I 2149 01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:08,770 would never in a million years would 2150 01:49:13,500 --> 01:49:10,890 have thought that I would be saying this 2151 01:49:14,820 --> 01:49:13,510 that Hall of that halt that infamous 2152 01:49:16,110 --> 01:49:14,830 Holloman Landing case where the 2153 01:49:18,870 --> 01:49:16,120 occupants get out and they were all it 2154 01:49:21,000 --> 01:49:18,880 was all filmed I looked into that cart 2155 01:49:22,650 --> 01:49:21,010 quite a bit talk to Emma Nagar I talked 2156 01:49:24,900 --> 01:49:22,660 to Ellen Sandler about it I've seen 2157 01:49:26,430 --> 01:49:24,910 videotapes of the guy that was working 2158 01:49:28,770 --> 01:49:26,440 at Norton Air Force Base at the time 2159 01:49:34,590 --> 01:49:28,780 that claimed to have processed that film 2160 01:49:36,150 --> 01:49:34,600 footage you know so maybe they are 2161 01:49:38,370 --> 01:49:36,160 sitting on maybe the government is 2162 01:49:40,770 --> 01:49:38,380 sitting on footage of an event like 2163 01:49:43,530 --> 01:49:40,780 what's the court what what what one of 2164 01:49:45,240 --> 01:49:43,540 the more songs are coral but sorry let's 2165 01:49:48,500 --> 01:49:45,250 take a break right here James I'm

my time is what's better off spent 2204 01:51:45,040 --> 01:51:41,880 getting the film done off for obvious 2205 01:51:48,200 --> 01:51:45,050 obvious reasons but now that the film is 2206 01:51:51,979 --> 01:51:48,210 almost delivered we're just like 10 days 2207 01:51:55,790 --> 01:51:51,989 away it's gonna be fun to share with the 2208 01:52:03,380 --> 01:51:55,800 community and talk about the the process 2209 01:52:06,229 --> 01:52:03,390 of making it and yeah yeah now I wanted 2210 01:52:08,960 --> 01:52:06,239 to I'm gonna ask you this question and 2211 01:52:13,520 --> 01:52:08,970 and and do not give me the generic 2212 01:52:15,500 --> 01:52:13,530 answer and say I will get don't I have a 2213 01:52:17,330 --> 01:52:15,510 question for you I did before if you 2214 01:52:21,080 --> 01:52:17,340 wouldn't mind before we go could you 2215 01:52:23,600 --> 01:52:21,090 just tell me right now what did you 2216 01:52:26,110 --> 01:52:23,610 think of the movie okay okay you have to 2217 01:52:29,740 --> 01:52:26,120 watch it yes got it beyond people's mind 2218 01:52:33,930 --> 01:52:29,750 what do you think what 2219 01:52:37,630 --> 01:52:33,940 I thought that it was nearly perfect 2220 01:52:39,490 --> 01:52:37,640 okay and now that that's a that's a 2221 01:52:43,570 --> 01:52:39,500 political that's a politician's answer 2222 01:52:47,140 --> 01:52:43,580 right that that it's nearly perfect for 2223 01:52:50,640 --> 01:52:47,150 me because I have my favorite cases and 2224 01:52:54,100 --> 01:52:50,650 two of those cases that I think 2225 01:52:56,140 --> 01:52:54,110 absolutely need more attention are here 2226 01:53:00,070 --> 01:52:56,150 and I'm so happy about that I'm talking 2227 01:53:05,950 --> 01:53:00,080 about Westall and and zu Rua a 2228 01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:05,960 Zimbabwean for me in a personal way I 2229 01:53:12,070 --> 01:53:09,290 wish that there was more of those two 2230 01:53:13,990 --> 01:53:12,080 cases there but you can't do it it's oh 2231 01:53:17,080 --> 01:53:14,000 it's only one film all right so there's 2232 01:53:20,680 --> 01:53:17,090 that part now that being said I thought 2233 01:53:24,250 --> 01:53:20,690 that I did nothing but learn so much 2234 01:53:27,730 --> 01:53:24,260 that I didn't know before and and James 2235 01:53:29,950 --> 01:53:27,740 that's tough for a person like me to go 2236 01:53:33,850 --> 01:53:29,960 through because I see all the stuff I 2237 01:53:37,240 --> 01:53:33,860 you know just like you yeah yeah you 2238 01:53:39,610 --> 01:53:37,250 know but this time around it wasn't the 2239 01:53:44,350 --> 01:53:39,620 case where I was able to just sit and 2240 01:53:47,260 --> 01:53:44,360 learn and and be engaged now putting all 2241 01:53:49,900 --> 01:53:47,270 of that aside the most important aspect 2242 01:53:53,050 --> 01:53:49,910 I think for this film that I was most 2243 01:53:56,620 --> 01:53:53,060 impressed with is the visuals and the 2244 01:53:59,260 --> 01:53:56,630 cinematography the music the final edits 2245 01:54:03,690 --> 01:53:59,270 and and and graphics are icing on the 2246 01:54:06,730 --> 01:54:03,700 cake but visually it is stunning and 2247 01:54:09,520 --> 01:54:06,740 when everything else is done you know 2248 01:54:12,820 --> 01:54:09,530 the the magician's in color correction 2249 01:54:15,690 --> 01:54:12,830 have their way and and and the music and 2250 01:54:18,700 --> 01:54:15,700 and the 5.1 and Dolby and all of that 2251 01:54:20,950 --> 01:54:18,710 that that's just going to improve what 2252 01:54:21,760 --> 01:54:20,960 I've already seen so you have a lot to 2253 01:54:25,090 --> 01:54:21,770 be proud of 2254 01:54:27,730 --> 01:54:25,100 and and I have no issues with standing 2255 01:54:29,950 --> 01:54:27,740 behind this film it's it's it's it's 2256 01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:29,960 that good it man 2257 01:54:35,230 --> 01:54:33,410 man okay now now that you got no no I 2258 01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:35,240 really are I love hearing that because 2259 01:54:41,650 --> 01:54:38,930 there you know this is you know you're 2260 01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:41,660 one of the first handful of people that 2261 01:54:47,080 --> 01:54:43,610 it's gotten to see it and 2262 01:54:50,459 --> 01:54:47,090 and I I see it's hard for you not too 2263 01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:50,469 tart for me as a filmmaker when I see 2264 01:54:54,520 --> 01:54:53,090 responses negative responses on on 2265 01:54:56,320 --> 01:54:54,530 threads and I'm always told not to read 2266 01:54:58,450 --> 01:54:56,330 them but sometimes I see all the same 2267 01:55:02,109 --> 01:54:58,460 old rehash right and it really 2268 01:55:04,899 --> 01:55:02,119 like I work so hard not to Jamie right 2269 01:55:07,149 --> 01:55:04,909 yeah right so hard the biggest 2270 01:55:09,490 --> 01:55:07,159 never-before-seen right I will footage I 2271 01:55:11,229 --> 01:55:09,500 could make a documentary on just finding 2272 01:55:13,030 --> 01:55:11,239 the stuff that we found right swear to 2273 01:55:15,399 --> 01:55:13,040 you I'm not reading it right right so I 2274 01:55:16,840 --> 01:55:15,409 want to I get so frustrated like no you 2275 01:55:18,970 --> 01:55:16,850 have no idea what you're talking about 2276 01:55:20,740 --> 01:55:18,980 that's why someone who's seen it I'm 2277 01:55:24,189 --> 01:55:20,750 asking you what do you what would you 2278 01:55:28,090 --> 01:55:24,199 say to that person yeah you know what 2279 01:55:31,090 --> 01:55:28,100 and you'll be able to I can confidently 2280 01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:31,100 say that you're gonna silence all of 2281 01:55:36,879 --> 01:55:34,250 that BS and that that's pretty cool 2282 01:55:40,270 --> 01:55:36,889 you've got this in your back pocket now 2283 01:55:43,479 --> 01:55:40,280 and you can just kick back and enjoy the 2284 01:55:46,540 --> 01:55:43,489 ride that is about to happen and having 2285 01:55:49,990 --> 01:55:46,550 a nationwide theatrical release and and 2286 01:55:52,240 --> 01:55:50,000 this kind of approach to a documentary 2287 01:55:55,479 --> 01:55:52,250 like Jacques said right this is this is 2288 01:55:57,879 --> 01:55:55,489 nonfiction this is nonfiction this is a 2289 01:56:00,040 --> 01:55:57,889 whole different way to handle this kind 2290 01:56:02,830 --> 01:56:00,050 of release and and I'm excited about 2291 01:56:05,260 --> 01:56:02,840 that getting back to it now this was my 2292 01:56:08,859 --> 01:56:05,270 question to you and I don't want to hear 2293 01:56:12,070 --> 01:56:08,869 you say all of it if there's one thing 2294 01:56:14,140 --> 01:56:12,080 in the film that you want people to pay 2295 01:56:17,740 --> 01:56:14,150 attention to one specific case one 2296 01:56:22,750 --> 01:56:17,750 specific moment what would you have that 2297 01:56:24,669 --> 01:56:22,760 be Harry Reid sipping that water as he 2298 01:56:25,899 --> 01:56:24,679 contemplates responding to my question 2299 01:56:30,660 --> 01:56:25,909 yeah that was pretty intense 2300 01:56:34,330 --> 01:56:30,670 actually he was uncomfortable man I was 2301 01:56:36,280 --> 01:56:34,340 yeah yeah I asked the question I felt 2302 01:56:39,970 --> 01:56:36,290 uncomfortable kind of asking it but I 2303 01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:39,980 had to ask it and he takes a sip of 2304 01:56:43,510 --> 01:56:42,290 water puts the cap back on and drops the 2305 01:56:47,260 --> 01:56:43,520 ball yes he does 2306 01:56:49,090 --> 01:56:47,270 yes he does I agree with you there that 2307 01:56:51,700 --> 01:56:49,100 was that was a pretty strong holiday to 2308 01:56:53,560 --> 01:56:51,710 come it's a confirmation and a very high 2309 01:56:55,870 --> 01:56:53,570 level of government what we all 2310 01:56:57,440 --> 01:56:55,880 suspected yeah I know I know I know I I 2311 01:57:02,300 --> 01:56:57,450 can't wait for the music 2312 01:57:04,370 --> 01:57:02,310 dun-dun-dun so and and the I was I was 2313 01:57:07,610 --> 01:57:04,380 like in fact I said I said to the music 2314 01:57:09,890 --> 01:57:07,620 composer like Christopher Christopher ho 2315 01:57:12,110 --> 01:57:09,900 he's amazing and he's been putting his 2316 01:57:15,920 --> 01:57:12,120 heart and soul into composing this and I 2317 01:57:18,260 --> 01:57:15,930 said Chris when that drop I want them to 2318 01:57:22,090 --> 01:57:18,270 feel it in their bones yeah it's a 2319 01:57:26,960 --> 01:57:22,100 pretty good moment now okay so for me 2320 01:57:30,980 --> 01:57:26,970 it's that it's that pilot that's that 2321 01:57:37,130 --> 01:57:30,990 the pilot it and and and listen one of 2322 01:57:40,220 --> 01:57:37,140 the most important witnesses that we can 2323 01:57:42,410 --> 01:57:40,230 hear from our pilots because we are 2324 01:57:45,410 --> 01:57:42,420 talking about professional observers 2325 01:57:52,850 --> 01:57:45,420 they may be flying a plane but they got 2326 01:57:53,810 --> 01:57:52,860 a watch professional observers and and 2327 01:57:56,150 --> 01:57:53,820 flavor 2328 01:57:58,430 --> 01:57:56,160 we've all heard from him he's great in 2329 01:58:00,140 --> 01:57:58,440 the film and his description of what's 2330 01:58:02,030 --> 01:58:00,150 going that's why it's so riveting 2331 01:58:06,710 --> 01:58:02,040 because you know these are professional 2332 01:58:11,300 --> 01:58:06,720 pilots right that pilot from in that 2333 01:58:14,750 --> 01:58:11,310 World War two scenario mindset for him 2334 01:58:19,570 --> 01:58:14,760 to give the color commentary of his 2335 01:58:23,720 --> 01:58:19,580 encounter and what he saw absolutely 2336 01:58:25,550 --> 01:58:23,730 spellbinding what did you make know well 2337 01:58:29,870 --> 01:58:25,560 remember this remember that it's not 2338 01:58:33,500 --> 01:58:29,880 just a pilot he was a colonel in the Air 2339 01:58:37,100 --> 01:58:33,510 Force and he was later put as public 2340 01:58:40,370 --> 01:58:37,110 spokesman for Project Blue Book Colonel 2341 01:58:42,890 --> 01:58:40,380 William T Coleman so the irony is this 2342 01:58:45,200 --> 01:58:42,900 guy has a dramatic he's a World War two 2343 01:58:48,860 --> 01:58:45,210 pilot as well right has a dramatic 2344 01:58:51,470 --> 01:58:48,870 encounter in a b25 in 1955 over Alabama 2345 01:58:56,300 --> 01:58:51,480 with an unidentified flying object 2346 01:58:58,880 --> 01:58:56,310 a disc he's with engineers from Lockheed 2347 01:59:03,290 --> 01:58:58,890 Martin and Boeing in the in the plane 2348 01:59:06,530 --> 01:59:03,300 with him and the the the duration of the 2349 01:59:09,080 --> 01:59:06,540 encounter lasted roughly nine minutes it 2350 01:59:11,210 --> 01:59:09,090 started off somewhere around 9,000 feet 2351 01:59:13,910 --> 01:59:11,220 elevation and ended up at Wood 2352 01:59:16,580 --> 01:59:13,920 he described his maximum continuous 2353 01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:16,590 power at treetop level and at one point 2354 01:59:21,710 --> 01:59:19,770 he told me that he had to take evasive 2355 01:59:23,510 --> 01:59:21,720 action because they thought they were 2356 01:59:26,630 --> 01:59:23,520 gonna collide with the flying saucer and 2357 01:59:29,120 --> 01:59:26,640 we're gonna overtake it's right 30 40 50 2358 01:59:32,150 --> 01:59:29,130 feet off the ground they were so close 2359 01:59:34,640 --> 01:59:32,160 to the trees at chasing this thing that 2360 01:59:36,410 --> 01:59:34,650 they in in order for him to take a 2361 01:59:38,600 --> 01:59:36,420 right-hand turn to avoid hitting this 2362 01:59:40,790 --> 01:59:38,610 thing so he thought he's gonna hit it he 2363 01:59:43,490 --> 01:59:40,800 had to lift up on the controls pull the 2364 01:59:49,190 --> 01:59:43,500 plane up and then dip a wing that's how 2365 01:59:51,770 --> 01:59:49,200 low he was so when we just thought well 2366 01:59:55,550 --> 01:59:51,780 when I decided to do the recreation I 2367 01:59:59,120 --> 01:59:55,560 actually turned to my DP this guy David 2368 02:00:01,280 --> 01:59:59,130 West and I said Dave during the 2369 02:00:03,470 --> 02:00:01,290 interview in Florida at Colonel William 2370 02:00:04,490 --> 02:00:03,480 T Coleman's house I said Dave this is 2371 02:00:06,050 --> 02:00:04,500 going to be the opening scene in the 2372 02:00:08,120 --> 02:00:06,060 whole movie and we're gonna write a b25 2373 02:00:10,130 --> 02:00:08,130 of course you know didn't have any 2374 02:00:12,670 --> 02:00:10,140 resources to do that at the time but I 2375 02:00:16,310 --> 02:00:12,680 was how bad this is going to be it and 2376 02:00:17,900 --> 02:00:16,320 because not just the it was a very 2377 02:00:19,370 --> 02:00:17,910 unambiguous encounter because a lot of 2378 02:00:21,920 --> 02:00:19,380 times you hear oh I saw this like weird 2379 02:00:24,740 --> 02:00:21,930 light no man this guy came within feet 2380 02:00:26,930 --> 02:00:24,750 of colliding when the flying saucer at 2381 02:00:28,730 --> 02:00:26,940 treetop level it's so dramatic and then 2382 02:00:31,850 --> 02:00:28,740 the fact that it became public spokesman 2383 02:00:35,210 --> 02:00:31,860 for Project Blue Book the Air Force's 2384 02:00:38,630 --> 02:00:35,220 UFO investigatory arm it's just 2385 02:00:41,540 --> 02:00:38,640 incredible and I remember when we first 2386 02:00:45,590 --> 02:00:41,550 got started with the film I kept saying 2387 02:00:48,350 --> 02:00:45,600 to my new this guy this investor guy 2388 02:00:50,300 --> 02:00:48,360 Larry he said I said we've gotta go we 2389 02:00:51,920 --> 02:00:50,310 gotta go to Florida we gotta interview 2390 02:00:53,090 -->

went out there and of 2399 02:01:09,940 --> 02:01:08,790 course he died like months later so the 2400 02:01:13,010 --> 02:01:09,950 fact that we got that on camera 2401 02:01:16,250 --> 02:01:13,020 documented and then we rented a b25 2402 02:01:18,800 --> 02:01:16,260 lease bingo help find that plane for 2403 02:01:20,750 --> 02:01:18,810 actually a day and the man's doing a 2404 02:01:23,900

2410 02:01:41,750 --> 02:01:38,010 it's reality 2411 02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:41,760 this is 20/20 and things have progressed 2412 02:01:47,960 --> 02:01:45,090 and you have been making films and and 2413 02:01:50,630 --> 02:01:47,970 working on this for so long but here we 2414 02:01:53,420 --> 02:01:50,640 are man it's 20/20 you've got this film 2415 02:01:57,410 --> 02:01:53,430 that's about to get released are we 2416 02:02:00,560 --> 02:01:57,420 getting close are we getting close to 2417 02:02:05,600 --> 02:02:00,570 this are we gonna are we gonna get to 2418 02:02:09,950 --> 02:02:05,610 this maybe this year I got a phone call 2419 02:02:14,050 --> 02:02:09,960 was very encouraging from our 2420 02:02:17,360 --> 02:02:14,060 distributor today they said that the 2421 02:02:20,390 --> 02:02:17,370 response from the drop of this trailer 2422 02:02:25,430 --> 02:02:20,400 and the announcement of this film has 2423 02:02:28,100 --> 02:02:25,440 been so welcomed it's been so it's 2424 02:02:31,130 --> 02:02:28,110 excited so many people and the articles 2425 02:02:37,220 --> 02:02:31,140 and and and that they went from 700 2426 02:02:38,680 --> 02:02:37,230 theaters to 1300 theaters today that 2427 02:02:42,770 --> 02:02:38,690 they're going to be playing the trailer 2428 02:02:45,500 --> 02:02:42,780 for two months just about two months 2429 02:02:48,050 --> 02:02:45,510 prior to the release of the film so this 2430 02:02:51,740 --> 02:02:48,060 is very encouraging I think that it's 2431 02:02:53,060 --> 02:02:51,750 our time I think that you know look if 2432 02:02:57,170 --> 02:02:53,070 the government's not going to do it 2433 02:02:59,180 --> 02:02:57,180 we're gonna do it for them there's no 2434 02:03:03,980 --> 02:02:59,190 question in my mind and maybe you feel 2435 02:03:06,800 --> 02:03:03,990 differently but this film the people 2436 02:03:08,470 --> 02:03:06,810 that have seen it very skeptical people 2437 02:03:12,950 --> 02:03:08,480 that I've invited into the Edit room 2438 02:03:16,190 --> 02:03:12,960 they don't say oh I don't think this is 2439 02:03:18,980 --> 02:03:16,200 real they say oh that's why maybe that's 2440 02:03:22,570 --> 02:03:18,990 why they're you oh oh that's what it's 2441 02:03:26,570 --> 02:03:22,580 all of oh I see right so I think that 2442 02:03:28,010 --> 02:03:26,580 it's the case that we make and I don't 2443 02:03:30,380 --> 02:03:28,020 want to come across as someone that's 2444 02:03:32,770 --> 02:03:30,390 prophesizing to come join my cult of 2445 02:03:35,570 --> 02:03:32,780 believers to not where I'm at at all I 2446 02:03:38,200 --> 02:03:35,580 look at it more that there's people that 2447 02:03:40,300 --> 02:03:38,210 are informed what's been going on 2448 02:03:42,550 --> 02:03:40,310 and people that are uninformed and I 2449 02:03:47,820 --> 02:03:42,560 think this film is going to lead people 2450 02:03:50,500 --> 02:03:47,830 to be in the category of informed the 2451 02:03:53,920 --> 02:03:50,510 the amount of times where you have gone 2452 02:03:59,820 --> 02:03:53,930 through some pretty intense frustrations 2453 02:04:04,870 --> 02:03:59,830 right you've walked away walked away and 2454 02:04:06,970 --> 02:04:04,880 but here after deciding to come back at 2455 02:04:10,510 --> 02:04:06,980 this once again and take another crack 2456 02:04:13,720 --> 02:04:10,520 at it and because it is so important 2457 02:04:16,330 --> 02:04:13,730 that that speaks volumes but where did 2458 02:04:18,940 --> 02:04:16,340 you find the energy because when you 2459 02:04:21,610 --> 02:04:18,950 decided to you know virtually walk off 2460 02:04:24,700 --> 02:04:21,620 the set of your TV show and you know 2461 02:04:27,100 --> 02:04:24,710 I've did this I can't I can't do this to 2462 02:04:31,060 --> 02:04:27,110 where you are now how easy was it to 2463 02:04:32,100 --> 02:04:31,070 come back and continue the fight not 2464 02:04:37,240 --> 02:04:32,110 easy 2465 02:04:39,190 --> 02:04:37,250 I look back at how hard this fight was 2466 02:04:42,220 --> 02:04:39,200 and I don't even I think that if I'd 2467 02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:42,230 known I kind of knew had a little bit of 2468 02:04:46,510 --> 02:04:44,210 a hint but how difficult this was going 2469 02:04:48,190 --> 02:04:46,520 to be I'm not kidding I don't want to 2470 02:04:49,510 --> 02:04:48,200 sound like I'm exaggerating like I'm 2471 02:04:51,190 --> 02:04:49,520 exaggerating here I'm really not 2472 02:04:55,840 --> 02:04:51,200 exaggerated I thought I was going to die 2473 02:04:57,370 --> 02:04:55,850 making this movie I pushed myself to the 2474 02:05:02,800 --> 02:04:57,380 am right on the edge of the envelope I 2475 02:05:04,630 --> 02:05:02,810 pushed myself so hard I thought I could 2476 02:05:07,209 --> 02:05:04,640 die I really did right 2477 02:05:12,310 --> 02:05:07,219 I thought I was dying I've never worked 2478 02:05:16,750 --> 02:05:12,320 so hard on my life and I did it because 2479 02:05:18,820 --> 02:05:16,760 I felt like this is our time and this 2480 02:05:22,390 --> 02:05:18,830 might be the last opportunity maybe it 2481 02:05:25,900 --> 02:05:22,400 is maybe it's not I don't know but I was 2482 02:05:28,840 --> 02:05:25,910 all in on this one and I and I really 2483 02:05:30,610 --> 02:05:28,850 mean that I the only people that are 2484 02:05:33,870 --> 02:05:30,620 really close to me know how much I put 2485 02:05:36,940 --> 02:05:33,880 into making this movie happen it was a 2486 02:05:38,950 --> 02:05:36,950 colossal undertaking begging and 2487 02:05:42,790 --> 02:05:38,960 pleading for money constantly running 2488 02:05:45,280 --> 02:05:42,800 out partners that failed
