00:41:09,270 --> 00:41:06,160 2004 877 00:41:12,150 --> 00:41:09,280 but when 2017 rolls around 878 00:41:13,510 --> 00:41:12,160 you are now thrust as an expert into the 879 00:41:16,470 --> 00:41:13,520 world of ufology 880 00:41:18,550 --> 00:41:16,480 right now you're suddenly the guy were 881 00:41:20,150 --> 00:41:18,560 you prepared for that 882 00:41:21,750 --> 00:41:20,160 well i wasn't prepared to do anything 883 00:41:24,390 --> 00:41:21,760 for the times i i 884 00:41:25,829 --> 00:41:24,400 i had been with the new york times for 885 00:41:29,670 --> 00:41:25,839 45 years 886 00:41:32,950 --> 00:41:29,680 uh but i i left i retired in 2009 887 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:32,960 uh to teach at baruch college to uh 888 00:41:37,670 --> 00:41:35,599 you know to freelance and i continued to 889 00:41:39,910 --> 00:41:37,680 contribute to the times 890 00:41:42,710 --> 00:41:39,920 so um i was you know still getting 891 00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:42,720 stories into the paper feature stories 892 00:41:49,190 --> 00:41:46,240 you know some um odd 893 00:41:50,309 --> 00:41:49,200 collection of things nothing about ufos 894 00:41:52,550 --> 00:41:50,319 so 895 00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:52,560 this one caught me by surprise when 896 00:41:56,870 --> 00:41:53,599 leslie 897 00:42:01,510 --> 00:41:56,880 uh came to me with this story 898 00:42:05,270 --> 00:42:01,520 the um uh history will show us 899 00:42:08,150 --> 00:42:05,280 where journalists uh a few times 900 00:42:10,150 --> 00:42:08,160 have exposed something that ended up 901 00:42:11,030 --> 00:42:10,160 being a game-changing thing both 902 00:42:14,309 --> 00:42:11,040 politically 903 00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:14,319 militarily uh culturally 904 00:42:17,750 --> 00:42:16,400 and you don't know it at the time 905 00:42:20,630 --> 00:42:17,760 necessarily 906 00:42:22,710 --> 00:42:20,640 but that certainly happened in december 907 00:42:25,109 --> 00:42:22,720 of 2017 where now 908 00:42:27,190 --> 00:42:25,119 the senate is involved the military is 909 00:42:28,309 --> 00:42:27,200 involved you've got witnesses coming 910 00:42:30,950 --> 00:42:28,319 forward 911 00:42:31,990 --> 00:42:30,960 uh you've got all of the mass media that 912 00:42:33,990 --> 00:42:32,000 is covering it 913 00:42:37,109 --> 00:42:34,000 60 minutes would have happened two weeks 914 00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:37,119 ago if it wasn't for you and leslie 915 00:42:41,190 --> 00:42:39,280 uh pretty extraordinary how this has 916 00:42:43,270 --> 00:42:41,200 started to roll out 917 00:42:44,390 --> 00:42:43,280 well you know in journalism uh 918 00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:44,400 everything is timing 919 00:42:48,870 --> 00:42:47,920 you know and a wise old editor once said 920 00:42:51,670 --> 00:42:48,880 to a 921 00:42:54,630 --> 00:42:51,680 young reporter like me get lucky kid 922 00:42:57,990 --> 00:42:54,640 [Laughter] 923 00:43:00,150 --> 00:42:58,000 so you know a story that when you do 924 00:43:01,829 --> 00:43:00,160 it one time doesn't get much attention 925 00:43:02,550 --> 00:43:01,839 when you do it another time it sort of 926 00:43:05,030 --> 00:43:02,560 catches 927 00:43:06,710 --> 00:43:05,040 the zeitgeist it was the right time 928 00:43:07,910 --> 00:43:06,720 because the ground had been prepared we 929 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:07,920 weren't the first 930 00:43:11,589 --> 00:43:10,079 to write about ufos leslie first of all 931 00:43:13,109 --> 00:43:11,599 had done a book 932 00:43:14,790 --> 00:43:13,119 she'd done a lot of great reporting 933 00:43:15,589 --> 00:43:14,800 other people had done great reporting in 934 00:43:17,910 --> 00:43:15,599 the field 935 00:43:19,190 --> 00:43:17,920 we don't pretend to be the first but it 936 00:43:22,309 --> 00:43:19,200 happened to come 937 00:43:24,390 --> 00:43:22,319 at an interesting time when uh 938 00:43:26,309 --> 00:43:24,400 just you know you could say the stars 939 00:43:27,750 --> 00:43:26,319 were aligned i mean the stars is a good 940 00:43:30,390 --> 00:43:27,760 image in this case 941 00:43:31,430 --> 00:43:30,400 so um that had something to do with it 942 00:43:34,150 --> 00:43:31,440 timing 943 00:43:35,190 --> 00:43:34,160 now um there's a there's another 944 00:43:38,550 --> 00:43:35,200 component 945 00:43:42,150 --> 00:43:38,560 for this uh with this for me 946 00:43:44,710 --> 00:43:42,160 as you are looking at at witnesses 947 00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:44,720 quotes right and the evidence and 948 00:43:49,510 --> 00:43:46,400 putting this together 949 00:43:52,630 --> 00:43:49,520 was this an easy thing to present uh 950 00:43:54,309 --> 00:43:52,640 to the editorial staff at uh the new 951 00:43:55,750 --> 00:43:54,319 york times and then how did you guys 952 00:43:58,550 --> 00:43:55,760 turn around 953 00:44:00,309 --> 00:43:58,560 and vet the quoted sources and move 954 00:44:03,750 --> 00:44:00,319 backwards 955 00:44:05,829 --> 00:44:03,760 okay um it was not a hard story to 956 00:44:07,190 --> 00:44:05,839 present to the times because as i said 957 00:44:11,829 --> 00:44:07,200 we had the 958 00:44:15,270 --> 00:44:11,839 documentation 959 00:44:16,950 --> 00:44:15,280 and um we had lou elisondo's letter of 960 00:44:21,030 --> 00:44:16,960 resignation for example 961 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:21,040 we had stories of people who had worked 962 00:44:24,390 --> 00:44:21,359 on 963 00:44:27,270 --> 00:44:24,400 other 964 00:44:29,030 --> 00:44:27,280 accounts of pilots actually who had seen 965 00:44:31,750 --> 00:44:29,040 these things but that came later 966 00:44:33,670 --> 00:44:31,760 we had an interview with harry reid the 967 00:44:35,349 --> 00:44:33,680 former senate majority leader who told 968 00:44:37,510 --> 00:44:35,359 about how he 969 00:44:38,550 --> 00:44:37,520 assembled the funding the black funding 970 00:44:41,670 --> 00:44:38,560 you know from the 971 00:44:43,349 --> 00:44:41,680 pentagon budget um because he it was 972 00:44:46,790 --> 00:44:43,359 something he was always interested in 973 00:44:48,710 --> 00:44:46,800 and thought that the story of ufos had 974 00:44:51,750 --> 00:44:48,720 gotten short shrift it was a 975 00:44:52,470 --> 00:44:51,760 giggle factor you know where people were 976 00:44:55,430 --> 00:44:52,480 afraid to 977 00:44:56,870 --> 00:44:55,440 address it people in high places he was 978 00:44:58,470 --> 00:44:56,880 courageous enough to say 979 00:45:00,790 --> 00:44:58,480 you know let's try to get to the bottom 980 00:45:01,750 --> 00:45:00,800 of this so when we had all that 981 00:45:04,870 --> 00:45:01,760 assembled 982 00:45:08,470 --> 00:45:04,880 it was not hard was there uh 983 00:45:10,870 --> 00:45:08,480 any uh pushback at that time 984 00:45:12,950 --> 00:45:10,880 uh from the pentagon and the department 985 00:45:14,390 --> 00:45:12,960 of defense as you start to confirm some 986 00:45:18,309 --> 00:45:14,400 facts 987 00:45:20,630 --> 00:45:18,319 not then um actually um 988 00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:20,640 what was interesting is later they began 989 00:45:23,829 --> 00:45:21,440 to question 990 00:45:26,150 --> 00:45:23,839 lou elizondo's bonafides uh 991 00:45:28,630 --> 00:45:26,160 unfortunately in my view 992 00:45:30,470 --> 00:45:28,640 because we vetted him very carefully we 993 00:45:32,150 --> 00:45:30,480 would not have taken his word for 994 00:45:35,910 --> 00:45:32,160 anything 995 00:45:40,390 --> 00:45:39,270 evaluations uh we read his military 996 00:45:44,470 --> 00:45:40,400 record 997 00:45:47,430 --> 00:45:44,480 um you know we we checked him out 998 00:45:49,109 --> 00:45:47,440 forwards backwards sideways to make sure 999 00:45:50,069 --> 00:45:49,119 that we weren't being sold a bill of 1000 00:45:52,390 --> 00:45:50,079 goods and we 1001 00:45:53,589 --> 00:45:52,400 came away convinced based on everything 1002 00:45:56,069 --> 00:45:53,599 we'd seen 1003 00:45:57,670 --> 00:45:56,079 both you know talking to him and and doc 1004 00:45:59,349 --> 00:45:57,680 seeing his documentation 1005 00:46:01,190 --> 00:45:59,359 that he was the real thing he actually 1006 00:46:03,109 --> 00:46:01,200 headed this program he came from an 1007 00:46:05,109 --> 00:46:03,119 intelligence background 1008 00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:05,119 he knew what he was talking about and he 1009 00:46:07,750 --> 00:46:06,640 didn't he certainly did not share 1010 00:46:11,349 --> 00:46:07,760 everything with us 1011 00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:11,359 um stuff which we did not get from him 1012 00:46:14,550 --> 00:46:12,960 we didn't try to get from him we didn't 1013 00:46:15,829 --> 00:46:14,560 want to go to jail we didn't want him to 1014 00:46:18,470 --> 00:46:15,839 go to jail 1015 00:46:20,309 --> 00:46:18,480 so um but we came away absolutely 1016 00:46:23,670 --> 00:46:20,319 convinced that he was the real thing 1017 00:46:26,309 --> 00:46:23,680 and his his information was genuine 1018 00:46:27,670 --> 00:46:26,319 are you surprised that he finds himself 1019 00:46:29,270 --> 00:46:27,680 today as you know 1020 00:46:31,750 --> 00:46:29,280 we talked about this earlier he was on 1021 00:46:34,870 --> 00:46:31,760 the program with us again last night 1022 00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:34,880 um are you surprised to see the position 1023 00:46:37,670 --> 00:46:36,640 that he's in right now with the personal 1024 00:46:39,510 --> 00:46:37,680 attacks 1025 00:46:40,870 --> 00:46:39,520 uh continue somebody's not telling the 1026 00:46:43,750 --> 00:46:40,880 truth right 1027 00:46:45,750 --> 00:46:43,760 and uh the the attacks coming out of the 1028 00:46:49,190 --> 00:46:45,760 pentagon and now 1029 00:46:51,910 --> 00:46:49,200 apparently his emails have been deleted 1030 00:46:52,710 --> 00:46:51,920 and there's no backup files are are you 1031 00:46:54,550 --> 00:46:52,720 surprised 1032 00:46:57,030 --> 00:46:54,560 about the position that the dod has 1033 00:46:58,950 --> 00:46:57,040 taken yeah i'm surprised they would put 1034 00:47:01,670 --> 00:46:58,960 him in that position because you know 1035 00:47:03,670 --> 00:47:01,680 why do you eat your young 1036 00:47:05,109 --> 00:47:03,680 he was obviously a very trusted member 1037 00:47:06,790 --> 00:47:05,119 of the establishment 1038 00:47:08,309 --> 00:47:06,800 as i said we saw his performance 1039 00:47:09,030 --> 00:47:08,319 evaluations they couldn't have been 1040 00:47:12,150 --> 00:47:09,040 higher 1041 00:47:14,870 --> 00:47:12,160 he was involved in a lot of secret stuff 1042 00:47:16,150 --> 00:47:14,880 which he did not tell us about but we 1043 00:47:19,589 --> 00:47:16,160 know that 1044 00:47:21,910 --> 00:47:19,599 in that and we're confident that that's 1045 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:21,920 all true his intelligence background 1046 00:47:25,510 --> 00:47:23,680 so why they would turn on him there's a 1047 00:47:28,710 --> 00:47:25,520 lot of infighting in the pentagon 1048 00:47:31,109 --> 00:47:28,720 over this issue we know that um 1049 00:47:32,470 --> 00:47:31,119 and it's a it's it's a hot potato i mean 1050 00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:32,480 it is in many ways 1051 00:47:35,670 --> 00:47:33,920 and they don't know how to deal with it 1052 00:47:37,670 --> 00:47:35,680 they never did 1053 00:47:39,030 --> 00:47:37,680 the pentagon's record on this issue 1054 00:47:42,069 --> 00:47:39,040 going back to 1055 00:47:45,430 --> 00:47:42,079 roswell and before 1056 00:47:47,510 --> 00:47:45,440 and after is not great um 1057 00:47:49,190 --> 00:47:47,520 so you know that's that's probably not 1058 00:47:52,230 --> 00:47:49,200 surprising but that they would 1059 00:47:54,069 --> 00:47:52,240 target him in some way seems to me 1060 00:47:56,230 --> 00:47:54,079 really foolish and i don't know whether 1061 00:47:58,470 --> 00:47:56,240 the emails have disappeared for good 1062 00:48:00,549 --> 00:47:58,480 i mean that was reported by somebody 1063 00:48:03,030 --> 00:48:00,559 else we didn't i didn't report that 1064 00:48:05,510 --> 00:48:03,040 but um i don't know whether he has 1065 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:05,520 copies i did and did he tell you that he 1066 00:48:09,750 --> 00:48:06,480 might have copies 1067 00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,760 he said he didn't um and of course i 1068 00:48:14,790 --> 00:48:11,440 would expect him to say that but 1069 00:48:16,950 --> 00:48:14,800 uh you don't want to show your cards 1070 00:48:18,390 --> 00:48:16,960 but he said something obvious to me last 1071 00:48:21,910 --> 00:48:18,400 night ralph which would 1072 00:48:26,069 --> 00:48:21,920 is obvious to everybody his emails 1073 00:48:28,390 --> 00:48:26,079 are sent and received with other people 1074 00:48:30,549 --> 00:48:28,400 so those emails exist all over the place 1075 00:48:31,270 --> 00:48:30,559 they haven't deleted everybody's files 1076 00:48:33,910 --> 00:48:31,280 right 1077 00:48:36,470 --> 00:48:33,920 so they're going to be able to uh to go 1078 00:48:39,510 --> 00:48:36,480 after those i am sure that 1079 00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:39,520 uh with this latest ig um 1080 00:48:44,710 --> 00:48:43,200 investigation into all of this that uh 1081 00:48:46,950 --> 00:48:44,720 this stuff is gonna get uncovered i 1082 00:48:49,030 --> 00:48:46,960 don't think the ig's gonna wanna hear 1083 00:48:51,750 --> 00:48:49,040 that the person at the center of all of 1084 00:48:53,190 --> 00:48:51,760 this magically his emails are deleted 1085 00:48:55,510 --> 00:48:53,200 without backups 1086 00:48:56,549 --> 00:48:55,520 right that you know that sounds familiar 1087 00:48:59,190 --> 00:48:56,559 in this field 1088 00:49:00,549 --> 00:48:59,200 i mean the roswell record supposedly 1089 00:49:03,270 --> 00:49:00,559 disappeared 1090 00:49:04,870 --> 00:49:03,280 um i don't know they may not have 1091 00:49:08,710 --> 00:49:04,880 disappeared for good 1092 00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:08,720 um but uh you know there's a way in this 1093 00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:11,280 field of strange things happening 1094 00:49:17,990 --> 00:49:15,359 um and uh and records disappearing so 1095 00:49:19,510 --> 00:49:18,000 um you know i don't think you can really 1096 00:49:21,990 --> 00:49:19,520 hide this for too long 1097 00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:22,000 completely there's there's too much uh 1098 00:49:25,349 --> 00:49:22,960 floating around 1099 00:49:25,990 --> 00:49:25,359 now uh before we get to john mack i have 1100 00:49:27,829 --> 00:49:26,000 uh what 1101 00:49:30,069 --> 00:49:27,839 i want to take the opportunity to ask 1102 00:49:33,030 --> 00:49:30,079 you about this uh 1103 00:49:33,589 --> 00:49:33,040 while you're with us tonight in uh last 1104 00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:33,599 year 1105 00:49:38,630 --> 00:49:36,640 uh you and leslie uh in your series of 1106 00:49:41,990 --> 00:49:38,640 articles on the subject 1107 00:49:42,790 --> 00:49:42,000 um there was buried deep in the article 1108 00:49:46,230 --> 00:49:42,800 down at the bottom 1109 00:49:49,109 --> 00:49:46,240 i caught this nobody else 1110 00:49:50,790 --> 00:49:49,119 really mentioned this but i thought it 1111 00:49:53,910 --> 00:49:50,800 was one of the most important things 1112 00:49:55,750 --> 00:49:53,920 ever in the history of mankind 1113 00:49:56,950 --> 00:49:55,760 in the bottom of the article you've got 1114 00:50:00,470 --> 00:49:56,960 a quote from dr 1115 00:50:03,670 --> 00:50:00,480 eric davis and and eric davis says 1116 00:50:07,589 --> 00:50:03,680 i'm going to paraphrase here um i 1117 00:50:10,309 --> 00:50:07,599 i i spoke to the senate i i believe 1118 00:50:11,349 --> 00:50:10,319 and i told them that our government is 1119 00:50:15,030 --> 00:50:11,359 in possession of 1120 00:50:18,710 --> 00:50:15,040 crashed craft right alien craft 1121 00:50:22,230 --> 00:50:18,720 end quote and i thought why isn't 1122 00:50:26,230 --> 00:50:22,240 anybody following up on this why uh 1123 00:50:28,150 --> 00:50:26,240 why isn't there some more journalists uh 1124 00:50:29,270 --> 00:50:28,160 taking a look at this because that's a 1125 00:50:32,309 --> 00:50:29,280 that's a historic 1126 00:50:34,230 --> 00:50:32,319 statement um when 1127 00:50:36,390 --> 00:50:34,240 how did you get that was that a quote 1128 00:50:39,109 --> 00:50:36,400 directly from eric 1129 00:50:40,069 --> 00:50:39,119 and and and do you have a response i 1130 00:50:41,990 --> 00:50:40,079 don't know 1131 00:50:43,670 --> 00:50:42,000 but do you have a responsibility to go 1132 00:50:45,670 --> 00:50:43,680 back and vet his 1133 00:50:47,829 --> 00:50:45,680 source and and the reason why he said 1134 00:50:50,870 --> 00:50:47,839 what he said 1135 00:50:54,470 --> 00:50:50,880 well um i don't want to go 1136 00:50:56,309 --> 00:50:54,480 too deep into you know who said what 1137 00:50:57,510 --> 00:50:56,319 that we used in the paper but let me 1138 00:51:00,390 --> 00:50:57,520 just say this 1139 00:51:01,829 --> 00:51:00,400 um there was a progression of stories 1140 00:51:04,950 --> 00:51:01,839 from the december 1141 00:51:08,470 --> 00:51:04,960 um 17 story to 1142 00:51:10,630 --> 00:51:08,480 2017 about existence of atip so that 1143 00:51:11,589 --> 00:51:10,640 laid the groundwork then we branched out 1144 00:51:14,549 --> 00:51:11,599 and we did 1145 00:51:16,630 --> 00:51:14,559 other reporting uh pilots who had had 1146 00:51:16,950 --> 00:51:16,640 close calls with some of these objects 1147 00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:16,960 the 1148 00:51:22,870 --> 00:51:20,160 eyewitness accounts of pilots um 1149 00:51:24,470 --> 00:51:22,880 stuff seen from some of the ships uh in 1150 00:51:27,589 --> 00:51:24,480 the carrier group 1151 00:51:29,750 --> 00:51:27,599 um and then the last part of those 1152 00:51:32,150 --> 00:51:29,760 stories was the most difficult one 1153 00:51:33,109 --> 00:51:32,160 which you zeroed in on which was the 1154 00:51:36,630 --> 00:51:33,119 story of 1155 00:51:40,390 --> 00:51:36,640 possible material recoveries and 1156 00:51:43,910 --> 00:51:40,400 this area is heavily classified 1157 00:51:46,230 --> 00:51:43,920 and it's not easy to get and 1158 00:51:47,430 --> 00:51:46,240 what we were able to get and i know this 1159 00:51:50,470 --> 00:51:47,440 disappointed 1160 00:51:53,030 --> 00:51:50,480 some people out there in the blogosphere 1161 00:51:54,309 --> 00:51:53,040 who kept uh you know wanting to us to 1162 00:51:56,069 --> 00:51:54,319 say more 1163 00:51:58,150 --> 00:51:56,079 and we're basically tracking our 1164 00:51:59,990 --> 00:51:58,160 reporting as we went which made it very 1165 00:52:02,630 --> 00:52:00,000 uncomfortable for us but anyway 1166 00:52:03,910 --> 00:52:02,640 uh what we were able to to confirm to 1167 00:52:05,349 --> 00:52:03,920 the point we could put it in the new 1168 00:52:08,069 --> 00:52:05,359 york times 1169 00:52:09,109 --> 00:52:08,079 and again well sourced and not 1170 00:52:11,990 --> 00:52:09,119 speculative 1171 00:52:13,190 --> 00:52:12,000 and on the record and you know fully 1172 00:52:16,710 --> 00:52:13,200 attributed 1173 00:52:18,309 --> 00:52:16,720 was that eric davis um 1174 00:52:21,349 --> 00:52:18,319 among a number of other people had 1175 00:52:25,030 --> 00:52:21,359 briefed congressional committees 1176 00:52:28,069 --> 00:52:25,040 on with some slides which we got 1177 00:52:31,589 --> 00:52:28,079 uh on the subject of 1178 00:52:33,349 --> 00:52:31,599 material recoveries now 1179 00:52:34,950 --> 00:52:33,359 the best we were able to say which is 1180 00:52:38,390 --> 00:52:34,960 what we could confirm 1181 00:52:42,150 --> 00:52:38,400 was that congressional committees 1182 00:52:44,790 --> 00:52:42,160 were briefed on the issue of material 1183 00:52:48,150 --> 00:52:44,800 recoveries okay 1184 00:52:50,309 --> 00:52:48,160 without a lot of detail and and in those 1185 00:52:53,349 --> 00:52:50,319 slides that were used to brief 1186 00:52:55,030 --> 00:52:53,359 um congressional committees the senate 1187 00:52:56,150 --> 00:52:55,040 armed services committee and the senate 1188 00:52:59,270 --> 00:52:56,160 intelligence committee 1189 00:53:00,150 --> 00:52:59,280 particularly um there was reference in 1190 00:53:04,470 --> 00:53:00,160 those slides 1191 00:53:07,990 --> 00:53:04,480 to um off-planet vehicles 1192 00:53:10,309 --> 00:53:08,000 possible off-planet vehicles now 1193 00:53:11,030 --> 00:53:10,319 there wasn't a lot of detail and not in 1194 00:53:13,670 --> 00:53:11,040 the story 1195 00:53:14,230 --> 00:53:13,680 and not what we could get but what we 1196 00:53:16,390 --> 00:53:14,240 could get 1197 00:53:18,230 --> 00:53:16,400 and what we could confirm was that this 1198 00:53:20,150 --> 00:53:18,240 information was contained 1199 00:53:22,470 --> 00:53:20,160 in briefings and it was referenced in 1200 00:53:24,549 --> 00:53:22,480 slides that were shown 1201 00:53:25,910 --> 00:53:24,559 to high-level congressional committees 1202 00:53:27,670 --> 00:53:25,920 and to me that's pretty 1203 00:53:29,990 --> 00:53:27,680 pretty dramatic that's that's a holy 1204 00:53:32,870 --> 00:53:30,000 crap moment ralph for sure 1205 00:53:33,349 --> 00:53:32,880 well i i'm glad you agree we thought so 1206 00:53:34,630 --> 00:53:33,359 and 1207 00:53:36,470 --> 00:53:34,640 again there were people who said well 1208 00:53:38,230 --> 00:53:36,480 why didn't you say more and why didn't 1209 00:53:40,870 --> 00:53:38,240 you spell out you know more 1210 00:53:41,510 --> 00:53:40,880 detail and the fact is we could only 1211 00:53:44,790 --> 00:53:41,520 report 1212 00:53:47,109 --> 00:53:44,800 we had um 1213 00:53:48,069 --> 00:53:47,119 confirmed and there's a lot of stories 1214 00:53:50,790 --> 00:53:48,079 floating around 1215 00:53:51,829 --> 00:53:50,800 out there um by people who don't have 1216 00:53:53,910 --> 00:53:51,839 the same standards 1217 00:53:55,430 --> 00:53:53,920 as the new york times and i'm you know 1218 00:53:57,030 --> 00:53:55,440 good for them i mean they can say what 1219 00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:57,040 they want on the internet 1220 00:54:00,710 --> 00:53:58,720 but when we're going to put in the new 1221 00:54:01,589 --> 00:54:00,720 york times it has to be vetted it has to 1222 00:54:03,270 --> 00:54:01,599 be on the record 1223 00:54:04,630 --> 00:54:03,280 and we have to be very clear on what 1224 00:54:06,470 --> 00:54:04,640 we're saying what we're not saying 1225 00:54:09,270 --> 00:54:06,480 what's not speculation 1226 00:54:11,190 --> 00:54:09,280 um and what we were able to prove 1227 00:54:12,710 --> 00:54:11,200 absolutely to our satisfaction to our 1228 00:54:15,030 --> 00:54:12,720 editors satisfaction 1229 00:54:17,430 --> 00:54:15,040 was that these briefings took place now 1230 00:54:18,950 --> 00:54:17,440 you if you think that 1231 00:54:21,510 --> 00:54:18,960 congressional committees would be 1232 00:54:23,670 --> 00:54:21,520 briefed with lies and nonsense 1233 00:54:24,870 --> 00:54:23,680 then you can wave all that off but if 1234 00:54:27,430 --> 00:54:24,880 you believe 1235 00:54:28,230 --> 00:54:27,440 as we felt obviously important enough to 1236 00:54:31,750 --> 00:54:28,240 report 1237 00:54:35,829 --> 00:54:31,760 that this information had some 1238 00:54:37,109 --> 00:54:35,839 merit to it even without all the details 1239 00:54:38,630 --> 00:54:37,119 that we could provide 1240 00:54:40,470 --> 00:54:38,640 just the fact that congressional 1241 00:54:42,950 --> 00:54:40,480 committees were briefed 1242 00:54:43,589 --> 00:54:42,960 on the subject of material recoveries 1243 00:54:47,109 --> 00:54:43,599 with 1244 00:54:51,109 --> 00:54:47,119 you know were 1245 00:54:54,549 --> 00:54:51,119 um which were their shorthand for uh 1246 00:54:57,589 --> 00:54:54,559 uh and you know unidentified uh you know 1247 00:54:58,630 --> 00:54:57,599 aerial vehicles or anomalous aerial 1248 00:55:01,829 --> 00:54:58,640 vehicles 1249 00:55:05,109 --> 00:55:01,839 um otherwise described and this was 1250 00:55:08,549 --> 00:55:05,119 crucial as not of this earth 1251 00:55:09,750 --> 00:55:08,559 okay just those little those few little 1252 00:55:11,829 --> 00:55:09,760 things 1253 00:55:13,750 --> 00:55:11,839 to us made it an interesting story and 1254 00:55:15,349 --> 00:55:13,760 you're right and some of it was put down 1255 00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:15,359 at the bottom of the story 1256 00:55:18,950 --> 00:55:17,280 because it was the way it emerged in the 1257 00:55:20,150 --> 00:55:18,960 telling of the story so we didn't want 1258 00:55:21,670 --> 00:55:20,160 to hype it and 1259 00:55:23,990 --> 00:55:21,680 you know put stuff at the top of the 1260 00:55:26,630 --> 00:55:24,000 story that would then have to be 1261 00:55:29,030 --> 00:55:26,640 um you know elaborated on we had to put 1262 00:55:32,950 --> 00:55:29,040 it in exactly the order we put it in 1263 00:55:36,150 --> 00:55:32,960 so that it would satisfy uh you know 1264 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:36,160 our rigorous standards so if this sounds 1265 00:55:39,430 --> 00:55:36,720 kind of 1266 00:55:40,549 --> 00:55:39,440 you know mumbo jumbo i'm trying to be 1267 00:55:43,349 --> 00:55:40,559 careful 1268 00:55:44,549 --> 00:55:43,359 and explain why the story appeared the 1269 00:55:47,510 --> 00:55:44,559 way it did 1270 00:55:48,230 --> 00:55:47,520 and why we're proud of it why we think 1271 00:55:52,069 --> 00:55:48,240 as you do 1272 00:55:55,270 --> 00:55:52,079 that it it advanced the paradigm um 1273 00:55:56,150 --> 00:55:55,280 and um you know there's obviously more 1274 00:55:59,270 --> 00:55:56,160 to come 1275 00:56:01,030 --> 00:55:59,280 well here's the thing uh we all know i 1276 00:56:04,150 --> 00:56:01,040 mean it's the new york times 1277 00:56:06,230 --> 00:56:04,160 right that's it so you have you 1278 00:56:08,390 --> 00:56:06,240 you not only have the quote but you have 1279 00:56:10,069 --> 00:56:08,400 the source of the quote in print it's 1280 00:56:13,349 --> 00:56:10,079 the new york times 1281 00:56:15,109 --> 00:56:13,359 and as a reader uh or anybody else 1282 00:56:16,390 --> 00:56:15,119 you know that there are certain 1283 00:56:18,549 --> 00:56:16,400 standards there 1284 00:56:20,870 --> 00:56:18,559 that this quote was vetted the source 1285 00:56:22,710 --> 00:56:20,880 was vetted and that's how it made it in 1286 00:56:23,910 --> 00:56:22,720 and made it through the editorial 1287 00:56:28,549 --> 00:56:23,920 process 1288 00:56:30,390 --> 00:56:28,559 so therefore this quote has gotten merit 1289 00:56:32,309 --> 00:56:30,400 the the rest of the world didn't freak 1290 00:56:34,069 --> 00:56:32,319 out like i did ralph and that 1291 00:56:36,309 --> 00:56:34,079 it's like that's the most important 1292 00:56:38,230 --> 00:56:36,319 statement in the history of the world 1293 00:56:40,069 --> 00:56:38,240 well you're ahead of a lot of people and 1294 00:56:41,109 --> 00:56:40,079 i'm glad you picked up on it because we 1295 00:56:42,390 --> 00:56:41,119 thought it was important the time 1296 00:56:43,589 --> 00:56:42,400 slaughter was important because they put 1297 00:56:45,750 --> 00:56:43,599 it in the paper 1298 00:56:48,390 --> 00:56:45,760 and but they wanted to put it in you 1299 00:56:50,789 --> 00:56:48,400 know in the right context so as not to 1300 00:56:52,789 --> 00:56:50,799 go beyond what we were able to report 1301 00:56:54,789 --> 00:56:52,799 and i think we kept it within 1302 00:56:57,109 --> 00:56:54,799 you know the boundaries i mean obviously 1303 00:56:58,870 --> 00:56:57,119 you did plenty of room for speculation 1304 00:57:00,230 --> 00:56:58,880 and if you want to you know riff on from 1305 00:57:02,390 --> 00:57:00,240 there what's possible what's not 1306 00:57:05,829 --> 00:57:02,400 possible but that's not our job 1307 00:57:08,230 --> 00:57:05,839 off-world vehicles that's strong 1308 00:57:11,109 --> 00:57:08,240 that's strong i mean that's it's where 1309 00:57:13,430 --> 00:57:11,119 you have to personally you have to uh 1310 00:57:15,510

00:57:18,240 you don't read between the lines with 1314 00:57:22,470 --> 00:57:20,079 statements like that do you 1315 00:57:23,990 --> 00:57:22,480 right no no i mean they're either rs or 1316

they got 1621 01:09:49,510 --> 01:09:48,640 to be crazy too so he had the same view 1622 01:09:51,510 --> 01:09:49,520 that you know 1623 01:09:53,349 --> 01:09:51,520 many people have when they hear about 1624 01:09:54,470 --> 01:09:53,359 this for the first time this cannot be 1625 01:09:56,950 --> 01:09:54,480 true 1626 01:09:58,790 --> 01:09:56,960 um but through these steps that i 1627

01:10:19,120 went through very painstakingly that 1637 01:10:22,149 --> 01:10:20,960 convinced him that there was something 1638 01:10:24,790 --> 01:10:22,159 to this 1639 01:10:25,270 --> 01:10:24,800 uh that he could not explain do you feel 1640 01:10:28,470 --> 01:10:25,280 that 1641 01:10:30,630 --> 01:10:28,480 there was uh a moment 1642 01:10:32,229 --> 01:10:30,640 you know there

what that moment was 1646 01:10:43,750 --> 01:10:41,120 yeah um it happened pretty fast uh 1647 01:10:45,350 --> 01:10:43,760 he went to visit bud hopkins uh first he 1648 01:10:47,110 --> 01:10:45,360 said he wouldn't 1649 01:10:49,590 --> 01:10:47,120 then he was in new york and you know 1650 01:10:52,870 --> 01:10:49,600 these strange things that happen in life 1651 01:10:56,310 --> 01:10:52,880 where you life turns on a dime you know 1652 01:10:58,470 --> 01:10:56,320 uh kind of a synchronicity or whatever 1653 01:11:00,149 --> 01:10:58,480 and i again i i go into this in in more 1654 01:11:00,870 --> 01:11:00,159 detail in the book it's kind of a funny 1655 01:11:03,910 --> 01:11:00,880 story 1656 01:11:05,990 --> 01:11:03,920 but uh he was in new york um 1657 01:11:07,510 --> 01:11:06,000 and uh he decided he was gonna call bud 1658 01:11:09,270 --> 01:11:07,520 hopkins after all 1659 01:11:11,030 --> 01:11:09,280 so he goes to see bud hopkins bud 1660 01:11:13,110 --> 01:11:11,040 hopkins gives him a bunch of letters 1661 01:11:15,189 --> 01:11:13,120 from people who reacted to his 1662 01:11:16,950 --> 01:11:15,199 but but hawkins wrote a couple of books 1663 01:11:17,350 --> 01:11:16,960 before john mack ever got into this 1664 01:11:19,030 --> 01:11:17,360 about 1665 01:11:20,390 --> 01:11:19,040 people you know with alien abduction 1666 01:11:21,990 --> 01:11:20,400 experiences 1667 01:11:23,590 --> 01:11:22,000 and but hopkins said here are people who 1668 01:11:25,270 --> 01:11:23,600 wrote me these letters you know about 1669 01:11:27,270 --> 01:11:25,280 their experiences why don't you look at 1670 01:11:27,669 --> 01:11:27,280 them you're the psychiatrist he's i'm 1671 01:11:30,870 --> 01:11:27,679 just an 1672 01:11:32,870 --> 01:11:30,880 artist you know it's not my field 1673 01:11:34,070 --> 01:11:32,880 so john mack took the letters and read 1674 01:11:37,350 --> 01:11:34,080 through them and said you know 1675 01:11:39,910 --> 01:11:37,360 holy whatever um you know this is 1676 01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:39,920 amazing stuff and this can't be real 1677 01:11:42,550 --> 01:11:40,560 because 1678 01:11:43,750 --> 01:11:42,560 it doesn't comport with our idea of 1679 01:11:46,790 --> 01:11:43,760 reality 1680 01:11:49,270 --> 01:11:46,800 um but then very quickly he gathered 1681 01:11:51,270 --> 01:11:49,280 around him a group of these people 1682 01:11:52,790 --> 01:11:51,280 you know who are called experiencers 1683 01:11:56,470 --> 01:11:52,800 which is maybe a better word than 1684 01:11:58,229 --> 01:11:56,480 abductees because it's non-judgmental 1685 01:12:00,550 --> 01:11:58,239 he gathered them all kinds of people 1686 01:12:03,430 --> 01:12:00,560 from different walks of life men women 1687 01:12:06,950 --> 01:12:03,440 even some children and started to listen 1688 01:12:10,310 --> 01:12:06,960 to their stories and he was blown away 1689 01:12:12,149 --> 01:12:10,320 because the stories were so um gripping 1690 01:12:15,510 --> 01:12:12,159 and so authentic 1691 01:12:18,790 --> 01:12:15,520 and um so original and yet 1692 01:12:25,350 --> 01:12:18,800 consistent uh with each other 1693 01:12:28,950 --> 01:12:28,630 explain um anyway so that was the moment 1694 01:12:31,110 --> 01:12:28,960 it 1695 01:12:33,110 --> 01:12:31,120 did happen pretty fast he didn't you 1696 01:12:36,790 --> 01:12:33,120 know have to think about it a long time 1697 01:12:40,229 --> 01:12:36,800 now uh what about you 1698 01:12:44,630 --> 01:12:40,239 what about ralph blumenthal 1699 01:12:50,070 --> 01:12:47,510 well i've never been abducted um and 1700 01:12:54,390 --> 01:12:50,080 neither by the way was john mack 1701 01:12:57,910 --> 01:12:54,400 and he never even saw ufo 1702 01:12:59,830 --> 01:12:57,920 and he he was a little disappointed 1703 01:13:01,430 --> 01:12:59,840 throughout his life he felt that he was 1704 01:13:03,669 --> 01:13:01,440 missing out on something 1705 01:13:05,830 --> 01:13:03,679 but then he realized that he was a 1706 01:13:07,830 --> 01:13:05,840 better witness 1707 01:13:11,430 --> 01:13:07,840 as somebody who didn't really 1708 01:13:14,390 --> 01:13:11,440 participate in the experiment himself 1709 01:13:15,110 --> 01:13:14,400 but that he only was an outsider and he 1710 01:13:18,229 --> 01:13:15,120 he could be 1711 01:13:21,110 --> 01:13:18,239 dispassionate let's say um so to 1712 01:13:22,790 --> 01:13:21,120 to some extent i i echo that i mean i 1713 01:13:25,430 --> 01:13:22,800 can't say i've had 1714 01:13:26,070 --> 01:13:25,440 um you know no any any experience like 1715 01:13:28,790 --> 01:13:26,080 that 1716 01:13:30,229 --> 01:13:28,800 and i guess it's kept me pure like like 1717 01:13:33,270 --> 01:13:30,239 he said he was 1718 01:13:35,830 --> 01:13:33,280 um and actually i take pains in the book 1719 01:13:37,669 --> 01:13:35,840 not to take a position i i try to lay it 1720 01:13:38,390 --> 01:13:37,679 out and people who read the book tell me 1721 01:13:40,149 --> 01:13:38,400 that 1722 01:13:41,830 --> 01:13:40,159 they didn't know you know what i was 1723 01:13:42,390 --> 01:13:41,840 thinking about john mack i mean where 1724 01:13:44,709 --> 01:13:42,400 you know 1725 01:13:46,149 --> 01:13:44,719 what my opinion was until the end where 1726 01:13:48,390 --> 01:13:46,159 i kind of show my hand 1727 01:13:49,350 --> 01:13:48,400 and i do describe him as a hero spoiler 1728 01:13:52,390 --> 01:13:49,360 alert 1729 01:13:54,870 --> 01:13:52,400 um but um so 1730 01:13:56,870 --> 01:13:54,880 uh so that's my story i mean i can't you 1731 01:13:57,430 --> 01:13:56,880 know i'm a reporter i came to it like 1732 01:13:59,510 --> 01:13:57,440 every 1733 01:14:01,189 --> 01:13:59,520 reporting project here's a guy who you 1734 01:14:01,750 --> 01:14:01,199 don't expect to do something and he does 1735 01:14:05,590 --> 01:14:01,760 it 1736 01:14:08,310 --> 01:14:05,600 head and i had 1737 01:14:10,229 --> 01:14:08,320 the advantage of access to all his 1738 01:14:13,669 --> 01:14:10,239 archives which his family 1739 01:14:14,790 --> 01:14:13,679 provided without condition i'm happy to 1740 01:14:16,390 --> 01:14:14,800 say 1741 01:14:18,070 --> 01:14:16,400 they didn't even ask to see anything 1742 01:14:21,669 --> 01:14:18,080 before it was published 1743 01:14:24,229 --> 01:14:21,679 um so by by you know 1744 01:14:26,070 --> 01:14:24,239 reading um everything he wrote and 1745 01:14:28,070 --> 01:14:26,080 listening to tapes he made in his own 1746 01:14:29,350 --> 01:14:28,080 therapy sessions because he was a shrink 1747 01:14:31,990 --> 01:14:29,360 so he had to be 1748 01:14:33,350 --> 01:14:32,000 analyzed himself and he taped them he 1749 01:14:35,990 --> 01:14:33,360 taped himself 1750 01:14:37,430 --> 01:14:36,000 so i listened to that stuff and i had i 1751 01:14:38,950 --> 01:14:37,440 think i had a pretty good idea of what 1752 01:14:42,390 --> 01:14:38,960 was going on in his mind 1753 01:14:45,830 --> 01:14:42,400 so even without being abducted myself 1754 01:14:46,310 --> 01:14:45,840 um i i think i had a pretty good vantage 1755 01:14:47,990 --> 01:14:46,320 point 1756 01:14:51,590 --> 01:14:48,000 especially since i i was able to 1757 01:14:53,510 --> 01:14:51,600 interview a lot of experiencers myself 1758 01:14:55,990 --> 01:14:53,520 some of them one that he interviewed and 1759 01:14:59,189 --> 01:14:56,000 others that that i met after 1760 01:15:00,070 --> 01:14:59,199 he did so um i had my own you know 1761 01:15:03,510 --> 01:15:00,080 database 1762 01:15:05,189 --> 01:15:03,520 what kind of filter are you 1763 01:15:06,630 -->

think is ultimately 1770 01:15:20,630 --> 01:15:17,679 happening here 1771 01:15:22,390 --> 01:15:20,640 you know that is the big question um and 1772 01:15:24,950 --> 01:15:22,400 john mack never solved it another 1773 01:15:25,990 --> 01:15:24,960 spoiler alert you can't read my book and 1774 01:15:28,149 --> 01:15:26,000 say i'm gonna 1775 01:15:29,750 --> 01:15:28,159 get to the end of this mystery uh 1776 01:15:31,430 --> 01:15:29,760 because the answer is gonna be at the 1777 01:15:31,910 --> 01:15:31,440 end on the last page you know it's not 1778 01:15:34,630 --> 01:15:31,920 like an 1779 01:15:36,149 --> 01:15:34,640 agatha christie um you know where you 1780 01:15:39,030 --> 01:15:36,159 find out who did it 1781 01:15:39,830 --> 01:15:39,040 so um that is the fascinating thing 1782 01:15:42,870 --> 01:15:39,840 about this 1783 01:15:45,910 --> 01:15:42,880 this whole business um 1784 01:15:48,790 --> 01:15:45,920 it is unfathomable by our 1785 01:15:50,070 --> 01:15:48,800 existing state of knowledge there are 1786 01:15:53,110 --> 01:15:50,080 interesting 1787 01:15:54,630 --> 01:15:53,120 uh clues scattered along the way and one 1788 01:15:57,270 --> 01:15:54,640 of the clues is 1789 01:15:58,070 --> 01:15:57,280 that this is not made-up stuff this is 1790 01:16:00,390 --> 01:15:58,080 not people 1791 01:16:01,590 --> 01:16:00,400 looking for publicity this is not 1792 01:16:06,310 --> 01:16:01,600 insanity 1793 01:16:09,110 --> 01:16:06,320 this is not the the delusion of crowds 1794 01:16:11,830 --> 01:16:09,120 as i say in the book i found out more 1795 01:16:14,790 --> 01:16:11,840 about what it was not 1796 01:16:17,590 --> 01:16:14,800 than what it was and i think that's 1797 01:16:19,510 --> 01:16:17,600 helpful it's not a cop-out 1798 01:16:21,590 --> 01:16:19,520 because when you rule out some things 1799 01:16:23,030 --> 01:16:21,600 that this the so-called skeptics who 1800 01:16:25,270 --> 01:16:23,040 don't really do the work they don't 1801 01:16:25,910 --> 01:16:25,280 really read all the literature they just 1802 01:16:28,630 --> 01:16:25,920 say 1803 01:16:29,830 --> 01:16:28,640 this is crazy which we can all agree it 1804 01:16:33,590 --> 01:16:29,840 is crazy 1805 01:16:35,110 --> 01:16:33,600 um but um when you when you go through 1806 01:16:37,030 --> 01:16:35,120 it 1807 01:16:38,870 --> 01:16:37,040 you can eliminate you can eliminate a 1808 01:16:41,270 --> 01:16:38,880 whole bunch of things 1809 01:16:43,350 --> 01:16:41,280 and then what what you're left with is 1810 01:16:45,669 --> 01:16:43,360 really the core of the mystery 1811 01:16:46,830 --> 01:16:45,679 uh and the core of the mystery is that 1812 01:16:51,189 --> 01:16:46,840 something 1813 01:16:53,750 --> 01:16:51,199 and it doesn't happen to everybody it 1814 01:16:55,510 --> 01:16:53,760 didn't happen to me and why it happens 1815 01:16:57,590 --> 01:16:55,520 to some people and not other people 1816 01:16:59,189 --> 01:16:57,600 is really one of the central mysteries 1817 01:17:01,189 --> 01:16:59,199 what do these people have 1818 01:17:03,669 --> 01:17:01,199 is it some feature in their psyche or 1819 01:17:05,110 --> 01:17:03,679 their brain that attracts this kind of 1820 01:17:07,430 --> 01:17:05,120 activity 1821 01:17:09,430 --> 01:17:07,440 are the aliens whoever or whatever they 1822 01:17:11,110 --> 01:17:09,440 are attracted only to certain people 1823 01:17:12,149 --> 01:17:11,120 because it does seem to run in families 1824 01:17:14,709 --> 01:17:12,159 they know that 1825 01:17:16,630 --> 01:17:14,719 that if you're if you've been abducted 1826 01:17:18,390 --> 01:17:16,640 or if you've had an abduction experience 1827 01:17:20,149 --> 01:17:18,400 probably your parents have had it 1828 01:17:22,870 --> 01:17:20,159 probably your children will have it 1829 01:17:24,550 --> 01:17:22,880 now i don't know why that that is but 1830 01:17:26,070 --> 01:17:24,560 that's what john mack found that's what 1831 01:17:29,510 --> 01:17:26,080 the literature says 1832 01:17:30,390 --> 01:17:29,520 that's that that seems to be a very 1833 01:17:32,630 --> 01:17:30,400 common 1834 01:17:33,590 --> 01:17:32,640 feature in this this whole mysterious 1835 01:17:36,709 --> 01:17:33,600 affair 1836 01:17:38,310 --> 01:17:36,719 so um when you ask you know 1837 01:17:40,149 --> 01:17:38,320 what do i think when i'm walking around 1838 01:17:40,870 --> 01:17:40,159 well i don't see people getting abducted 1839 01:17:43,350 --> 01:17:40,880 on the street 1840 01:17:45,189 --> 01:17:43,360 okay so i know it's not happening in 1841 01:17:47,270 --> 01:17:45,199 that kind of reality 1842 01:17:48,870 --> 01:17:47,280 um and yet when you hear the people 1843 01:17:52,070 --> 01:17:48,880 talking about it 1844 01:17:55,430 --> 01:17:52,080 uh which i've done at great length um 1845 01:17:56,229 --> 01:17:55,440 it's very convincing they have no motive 1846 01:17:59,430 --> 01:17:56,239 to lie 1847 01:18:02,070 --> 01:17:59,440 they're not then they're not happy to 1848 01:18:02,870 --> 01:18:02,080 share their experience they're ashamed 1849 01:18:04,630 --> 01:18:02,880 um 1850 01:18:06,390 --> 01:18:04,640 they don't know why it happened to them 1851 01:18:08,070 --> 01:18:06,400 how it happened to them but when they're 1852 01:18:11,350 --> 01:18:08,080 telling you these stories 1853 01:18:14,709 --> 01:18:11,360 it is so compelling and so um 1854 01:18:17,030 --> 01:18:14,719 visceral and 1855 01:18:18,630 --> 01:18:17,040 so authentic which is exactly what john 1856 01:18:19,910 --> 01:18:18,640 mack found and that was his job as a 1857 01:18:22,950 --> 01:18:19,920 psychiatrist to judge 1858 01:18:25,430 --> 01:18:22,960 people's you know authenticity 1859 01:18:26,070 --> 01:18:25,440 and i don't have the tools he had so all 1860 01:18:28,709 --> 01:18:26,080 i have is my 1861 01:18:29,590 --> 01:18:28,719 journalistic common sense but he had you 1862 01:18:31,189 --> 01:18:29,600 know all the 1863 01:18:33,030 --> 01:18:31,199 training of a psychiatrist but we 1864 01:18:34,709 --> 01:18:33,040 basically came to the same conclusion 1865 01:18:36,310 --> 01:18:34,719 that 1866 01:18:38,550 --> 01:18:36,320 something has happened to these people 1867 01:18:42,390 --> 01:18:38,560 that we can't explain but something 1868 01:18:45,750 --> 01:18:42,400 in some reality real 1869 01:18:48,630 --> 01:18:45,760 who would want to 1870 01:18:49,830 --> 01:18:48,640 tell their friends or family or boss or 1871 01:18:52,870 --> 01:18:49,840 co-worker 1872 01:18:56,229 --> 01:18:52,880 that they were abducted by aliens right 1873 01:18:59,750 --> 01:18:56,239 nobody's going to want to do that nobody 1874 01:19:00,870 --> 01:18:59,760 no nobody and very often they don't tell 1875 01:19:03,990 --> 01:19:00,880 their spouses 1876 01:19:06,229 --> 01:19:04,000 right um they're walking around with 1877 01:19:07,669 --> 01:19:06,239 this terrible secret because it is too 1878 01:19:10,310 --> 01:19:07,679 shameful 1879 01:19:11,830 --> 01:19:10,320 to admit i mean it is so bizarre and 1880 01:19:14,390 --> 01:19:11,840 that's the other thing about this 1881 01:19:16,630 --> 01:19:14,400 there's a core abduction what we call a 1882 01:19:18,790 --> 01:19:16,640 core abduction story sort of the main 1883 01:19:21,990 --> 01:19:18,800 elements you know you see a 1884 01:19:23,830 --> 01:19:22,000 ufo somewhere you become maybe 1885 01:19:25,110 --> 01:19:23,840 at night but not only at night but let's 1886 01:19:27,750 --> 01:19:25,120 say at night 1887 01:19:28,229 --> 01:19:27,760 uh then the next thing you're aware some 1888 01:19:30,310 --> 01:19:28,239 you know 1889 01:19:31,590 --> 01:19:30,320 strange creatures or beings in your in 1890 01:19:34,630 --> 01:19:31,600 your bedroom 1891 01:19:36,950 --> 01:19:34,640 uh you are you are wide awake or you're 1892 01:19:40,070 --> 01:19:36,960 convinced you're wide awake 1893 01:19:43,030 --> 01:19:40,080 then you are zapped in some way with a 1894 01:19:43,040 --> 01:20:03,270 your beam through a solid wall 1895 01:20:08,390 --> 01:20:06,390 they'd see you know on a subsequent 1896 01:20:09,910 --> 01:20:08,400 abduction so that's the sort of the 1897 01:20:11,750 --> 01:20:09,920 basic story that people 1898 01:20:13,669 --> 01:20:11,760 have told but then there's all kinds of 1899 01:20:15,590 --> 01:20:13,679 other stories that don't fit 1900 01:20:16,790 --> 01:20:15,600 and that's what makes it even more you 1901 01:20:19,430 --> 01:20:16,800 know complex and 1902 01:20:20,870 --> 01:20:19,440 and weird that it's not just one story 1903 01:20:22,229 --> 01:20:20,880 that everybody's telling oh yeah you 1904 01:20:23,910 --> 01:20:22,239 know the abduction story so you're 1905 01:20:26,709 --> 01:20:23,920 telling the abductions 1906 01:20:27,830 --> 01:20:26,719 it's details that you you couldn't 1907 01:20:29,590 --> 01:20:27,840 possibly think of 1908 01:20:31,430 --> 01:20:29,600 to make up say oh my god that's the 1909 01:20:32,790 --> 01:20:31,440 craziest thing i ever heard 1910 01:20:34,629 --> 01:20:32,800 and then you hear some other story and 1911 01:20:35,990 --> 01:20:34,639 you say no that's the craziest thing i 1912 01:20:39,830 --> 01:20:36,000 ever heard 1913 01:20:42,870 --> 01:20:39,840 so anyway no that's exactly 1914 01:20:45,030 --> 01:20:42,880 you're that's a really really good point 1915 01:20:46,310 --> 01:20:45,040 and and there's there's another element 1916 01:20:49,430 --> 01:20:46,320 to this that 1917 01:20:53,510 --> 01:20:49,440 uh needs to be made 1918 01:20:57,510 --> 01:20:53,520 with bud bud hopkins and and john mack 1919 01:21:01,030 --> 01:20:57,520 they did their best to 1920 01:21:03,750 --> 01:21:01,040 uh to fight the 1921 01:21:04,310 --> 01:21:03,760 the crazy stuff of these subjects and 1922 01:21:06,950 --> 01:21:04,320 and of 1923 01:21:09,189 --> 01:21:06,960 ufos they wanted to focus on the science 1924 01:21:11,750 --> 01:21:09,199 they wanted to focus on the facts 1925 01:21:13,350 --> 01:21:11,760 and they wanted to keep things as real 1926 01:21:15,270 --> 01:21:13,360 as they could 1927 01:21:17,110 --> 01:21:15,280 and they'd you know and they they didn't 1928 01:21:19,430 --> 01:21:17,120 want to associate themselves with the 1929 01:21:21,590 --> 01:21:19,440 crazier sides and claims 1930 01:21:23,030 --> 01:21:21,600 in in ufology and they really fought 1931 01:21:26,950 --> 01:21:23,040 this 1932 01:21:29,910 --> 01:21:26,960 like a tar baby 1933 01:21:32,790 --> 01:21:29,920 i mean you you you get involved with 1934 01:21:35,590 --> 01:21:32,800 this and i've seen it myself 1935 01:21:36,870 --> 01:21:35,600 um and you sound crazy after a while 1936 01:21:40,709 --> 01:21:36,880 talking about this stuff 1937 01:21:44,070 --> 01:21:40,719 and um you know i i i'm a journalist 1938 01:21:45,270 --> 01:21:44,080 a writer a new york times reporter a lot 1939 01:21:48,470 --> 01:21:45,280 of my career 1940 01:21:50,390 --> 01:21:48,480 um and yet when i tell you know 1941 01:21:52,070 --> 01:21:50,400 tell these stories or so i say i know i 1942 01:21:55,430 --> 01:21:52,080 sound crazy you know 1943 01:21:57,910 --> 01:21:55,440 um but um 1944 01:22:00,709 --> 01:21:57,920 you know john mack and bud hopkins and 1945 01:22:02,709 --> 01:22:00,719 david jacobs who was a professor who 1946 01:22:05,110 --> 01:22:02,719 also did independent research and then 1947 01:22:08,830 --> 01:22:05,120 they worked in some ways together 1948 01:22:12,790 --> 01:22:08,840 um they tried to bring a scientific 1949 01:22:15,350 --> 01:22:12,800 rigor uh to their to their research 1950 01:22:16,229 --> 01:22:15,360 uh and that that was that worked up to 1951 01:22:18,070 --> 01:22:16,239 up to a point 1952 01:22:19,350 --> 01:22:18,080 i mean they they had very good 1953 01:22:23,510 --> 01:22:19,360 intentions 1954 01:22:26,629 --> 01:22:23,520 um the problem is that the the field 1955 01:22:27,990 --> 01:22:26,639 almost defies uh rigorous scientific 1956 01:22:28,870 --> 01:22:28,000 investigation because first of all 1957 01:22:31,750 --> 01:22:28,880 you're talking about 1958 01:22:33,030 --> 01:22:31,760 the science of human beings um and 1959 01:22:36,709 --> 01:22:33,040 there's 1960 01:22:38,229 --> 01:22:36,719 and it's all anecdotal uh because of its 1961 01:22:41,669 --> 01:22:38,239 very nature 1962 01:22:44,149 --> 01:22:41,679 uh there's no evidence i'm gonna 1963 01:22:45,350 --> 01:22:44,159 i'm gonna contradict myself in a moment 1964 01:22:47,110 --> 01:22:45,360 i was gonna say there's no 1965 01:22:49,750 --> 01:22:47,120 evidence involved there is evidence 1966 01:22:51,830 --> 01:22:49,760 involved it's fragmentary which john 1967 01:22:54,790 --> 01:22:51,840 mack always pointed out 1968 01:22:56,310 --> 01:22:54,800 and it's very unsatisfying because the 1969 01:22:58,310 --> 01:22:56,320 people who want 1970 01:23:00,629 --> 01:22:58,320 you know hard solid evidence like show 1971 01:23:03,430 --> 01:23:00,639 me an ashtray from a ufo 1972 01:23:05,669 --> 01:23:03,440 uh let you know let me see one land on 1973 01:23:08,870 --> 01:23:05,679 the white house lawn is the popular 1974 01:23:12,790 --> 01:23:08,880 formulation that kind of evidence 1975 01:23:15,990 --> 01:23:12,800 there is not um photos of alien beings 1976 01:23:18,229 --> 01:23:16,000 no um 1977 01:23:19,110 --> 01:23:18,239 but there are fragmentary things that 1978 01:23:22,390 --> 01:23:19,120 john mack 1979 01:23:28,390 --> 01:23:22,400 was able to latch on to um but 1980 01:23:32,950 --> 01:23:30,229 intention of trying to bring a 1981 01:23:37,830 --> 01:23:32,960 scientific rigor to this field 1982 01:23:40,790 --> 01:23:37,840 ultimately it was unsatisfying because 1983 01:23:42,229 --> 01:23:40,800 the nature of the field defies a 1984 01:23:45,510 --> 01:23:42,239 physical 1985 01:23:46,310 --> 01:23:45,520 uh proof and that is the nature of the 1986 01:23:49,110 --> 01:23:46,320 phenomenon 1987 01:23:50,550 --> 01:23:49,120 it's not an aberration that is the one 1988 01:23:53,030 --> 01:23:50,560 of the central features 1989 01:23:54,229 --> 01:23:53,040 of the phenomenon that it defies 1990 01:23:56,790 --> 01:23:54,239 whenever you think you 1991 01:23:58,070 --> 01:23:56,800 you set up a a camera in your bedroom so 1992 01:24:00,310 --> 01:23:58,080 when the beings come in 1993 01:24:01,189 --> 01:24:00,320 the camera will trigger well the camera 1994 01:24:03,430 --> 01:24:01,199 doesn't work 1995 01:24:05,110 --> 01:24:03,440 it doesn't take the pictures uh this has 1996 01:24:08,790 --> 01:24:05,120 happened again and again 1997 01:24:09,990 --> 01:24:08,800 um john mack at one point thought he had 1998 01:24:13,830 --> 01:24:10,000 a wand 1999 01:24:16,390 --> 01:24:13,840 to you know immobilize 2000 01:24:17,910 --> 01:24:16,400 people according to what what they 2001 01:24:21,270 --> 01:24:17,920 remember afterwards 2002 01:24:22,629 --> 01:24:21,280 well you know he couldn't produce so he 2003 01:24:23,350 --> 01:24:22,639 thought he had a wine he didn't have a 2004 01:24:25,030 --> 01:24:23,360 wand 2005 01:24:27,510 --> 01:24:25,040 uh people think they had they get 2006 01:24:30,709 --> 01:24:27,520 implants okay they remember they got an 2007 01:24:32,550 --> 01:24:30,719 implant then they sneeze something out 2008 01:24:34,070 --> 01:24:32,560 or they go to a 2009 01:24:36,310 --> 01:24:34,080 doctor for surgery and they get 2010 01:24:37,990 --> 01:24:36,320 something taken out and it doesn't turn 2011 01:24:39,830 --> 01:24:38,000 out to be what they thought it would be 2012 01:24:40,870 --> 01:24:39,840 it's some biological material for their 2013 01:24:43,350 --> 01:24:40,880 body in other words 2014 01:24:45,510 --> 01:24:43,360 that the proof always falls short in 2015 01:24:47,830 --> 01:24:45,520 some way that's the game 2016 01:24:49,830 --> 01:24:47,840 that is is played in in this thing now 2017 01:24:52,470 --> 01:24:49,840 are the aliens so smart 2018 01:24:53,270 --> 01:24:52,480 that they can defeat all these you know 2019 01:24:55,510 --> 01:24:53,280 um 2020 01:24:57,350 --> 01:24:55,520 scientific procedures that they turn 2021 01:24:59,669 --> 01:24:57,360 yeah they plant an implant in you and 2022 01:25:01,510 --> 01:24:59,679 then they change it into biological 2023 01:25:02,470 --> 01:25:01,520 material when the way where the doctors 2024 01:25:05,030 --> 01:25:02,480 recover it 2025 01:25:06,470 --> 01:25:05,040 i mean i i don't know that that's what 2026 01:25:10,470 --> 01:25:06,480 john mack wrestled with 2027 01:25:10,950 --> 01:25:10,480 it just defied uh really convincing 2028 01:25:13,110 --> 01:25:10,960 proof 2029 01:25:14,070 --> 01:25:13,120 but we can talk later on about the 2030 01:25:17,350 --> 01:25:14,080 things that 2031 01:25:19,510 --> 01:25:17,360 he took to be um evidentiary 2032 01:25:21,270 --> 01:25:19,520 which which are interesting so it's not 2033 01:25:24,950 --> 01:25:21,280 nothing there is something 2034 01:25:27,030 --> 01:25:24,960 but it's subtle it was it always has 2035 01:25:30,390 --> 01:25:27,040 been as soon as you get 2036 01:25:33,830 --> 01:25:30,400 close the line gets moved 2037 01:25:35,750 --> 01:25:33,840 i mean every single time uh right now 2038 01:25:38,470 --> 01:25:35,760 today in history 2039 01:25:39,350 --> 01:25:38,480 we're as close as we have ever been to 2040 01:25:42,470 --> 01:25:39,360 some solid 2041 01:25:44,070 --> 01:25:42,480 and real answers but i'm not so sure 2042 01:25:45,590 --> 01:25:44,080 if we're even going to cross the line 2043 01:25:47,750 --> 01:25:45,600 now in 2021 2044 01:25:49,189 --> 01:25:47,760 is it going to get moved once again 2045 01:25:51,430 --> 01:25:49,199 right in front of us and we have to wait 2046 01:25:54,310 --> 01:25:51,440 until 2022. 2047 01:25:56,070 --> 01:25:54,320 now that is that is a

01:36:42,000 about how that 2307 01:36:49,270 --> 01:36:46,239 happened did you ever find it suspicious 2308 01:36:52,149 --> 01:36:49,280 uh initially yeah because i uh 2309 01:36:54,470 --> 01:36:52,159 the story is i i picked up a book of his 2310 01:36:56,149 --> 01:36:54,480 that's how i got interested in his story 2311 01:36:59,189 --> 01:36:56,159 and i wanna i thought it was interesting 2312 01:37:01,189 --> 01:36:59,199 that a harvard psychiatrist was uh 2313 01:37:03,350 --> 01:37:01,199 you know interested in alien abduction 2314 01:37:05,669 --> 01:37:03,360 and i thought i'd interview him and i i 2315 01:37:07,510 --> 01:37:05,679 had no idea how famous he already was 2316 01:37:09,109 --> 01:37:07,520 i was in texas at the time for the new 2317 01:37:09,590 --> 01:37:09,119 york times so i thought i'd give him a 2318 01:37:11,510 --> 01:37:09,600 call 2319 01:37:13,030 --> 01:37:11,520 and you know interview him and then i 2320 01:37:14,149 --> 01:37:13,040 pick up the paper and find out he's been 2321 01:37:16,790 --> 01:37:14,159 run over 2322 01:37:17,510 --> 01:37:16,800 so uh you know a lot of people instantly 2323 01:37:20,070 --> 01:37:17,520 thought it was 2324 01:37:22,070 --> 01:37:20,080 some kind of an assassination because he 2325 01:37:25,350 --> 01:37:22,080 was kind of notorious at that point 2326 01:37:27,510 --> 01:37:25,360 in in some circles um but 2327 01:37:29,590 --> 01:37:27,520 i i put that to rest in my research 2328 01:37:32,470 --> 01:37:29,600 because i i had access to the 2329 01:37:34,470 --> 01:37:32,480 uh london police files and i know 2330 01:37:37,109 --> 01:37:34,480 exactly who ran him over 2331 01:37:38,229 --> 01:37:37,119 uh it was a charity worker who had too 2332 01:37:40,950 --> 01:37:38,239 much to drink 2333 01:37:43,109 --> 01:37:40,960 uh his whole day had been documented he 2334 01:37:45,510 --> 01:37:43,119 did not know john mack at all 2335 01:37:46,870 --> 01:37:45,520 uh mack was tired he came out of the 2336 01:37:49,510 --> 01:37:46,880 underground station 2337 01:37:50,709 --> 01:37:49,520 what we call the subway at 11 30 at 2338 01:37:54,229 --> 01:37:50,719 night 2339 01:37:56,310 --> 01:37:54,239 um he uh he had some health problems 2340 01:37:58,470 --> 01:37:56,320 already he was tired he had trouble 2341 01:37:59,510 --> 01:37:58,480 seeing his gla he you know needed 2342 01:38:00,790 --> 01:37:59,520 glasses 2343 01:38:02,550 --> 01:38:00,800 a lot of things were going on with him 2344 01:38:05,750 --> 01:38:02,560 plus he was getting more and more 2345 01:38:08,310 --> 01:38:05,760 interested in life after death so 2346 01:38:10,149 --> 01:38:08,320 on some level um he was looking forward 2347 01:38:12,149 --> 01:38:10,159 to a new chapter i don't want to say he 2348 01:38:15,189 --> 01:38:12,159 committed suicide because that would be 2349 01:38:17,189 --> 01:38:15,199 an overstatement but he was open to some 2350 01:38:20,229 --> 01:38:17,199 new experience 2351 01:38:21,910 --> 01:38:20,239 um but he did not intend to die 2352 01:38:23,430 --> 01:38:21,920 anyway he stepped in front of this car 2353 01:38:24,550 --> 01:38:23,440 looking the wrong way because he was a 2354 01:38:27,910 --> 01:38:24,560 yank in london 2355 01:38:30,149 --> 01:38:27,920 and that's what we do um and it was just 2356 01:38:33,510 --> 01:38:30,159 bad timing this guy was speeding along 2357 01:38:35,590 --> 01:38:33,520 not even that fast but it was night and 2358 01:38:37,030 --> 01:38:35,600 and ran him over and he died pretty 2359 01:38:40,229 --> 01:38:37,040 quickly now 2360 01:38:42,870 --> 01:38:40,239 um there were a lot of stories one 2361 01:38:43,990 --> 01:38:42,880 common story and it's kind of a myth is 2362 01:38:47,109 --> 01:38:44,000 that another john 2363 01:38:50,229 --> 01:38:47,119 mack was run over about the same time 2364 01:38:51,109 --> 01:38:50,239 somewhere else and that shows that john 2365 01:38:55,510 --> 01:38:51,119 max would 2366 01:38:57,669 --> 01:38:55,520 that a john mack was being targeted now 2367 01:38:59,189 --> 01:38:57,679 i never found any proof of that story 2368 01:39:01,030 --> 01:38:59,199 and i can tell you that 2369 01:39:03,189 --> 01:39:01,040 the police files make it absolutely 2370 01:39:06,229 --> 01:39:03,199 clear that he was not picked out 2371 01:39:08,149 --> 01:39:06,239 uh for any reason now what i do 2372 01:39:09,430 --> 01:39:08,159 say in my book which i i found very 2373 01:39:11,750 --> 01:39:09,440 interesting 2374 01:39:13,030 --> 01:39:11,760 is that one of his psychiatric 2375 01:39:17,109 --> 01:39:13,040 colleagues happened to be 2376 01:39:20,709 --> 01:39:17,119 in saint petersburg russia for a lecture 2377 01:39:22,629 --> 01:39:20,719 and um he was driving in a taxi from the 2378 01:39:23,990 --> 01:39:22,639 airport to his hotel with his wife and 2379 01:39:26,629 --> 01:39:24,000 he looked out the window 2380 01:39:28,629 --> 01:39:26,639 and he sees somebody getting run over 2381 01:39:30,470 --> 01:39:28,639 and it turned out when he got back 2382 01:39:31,990 --> 01:39:30,480 and heard you know heard the story about 2383 01:39:34,310 --> 01:39:32,000 john mack that 2384 01:39:36,149 --> 01:39:34,320 what he saw in st petersburg happened 2385 01:39:37,510 --> 01:39:36,159 about the same time that john mack was 2386 01:39:39,510 --> 01:39:37,520 run over in london 2387 01:39:40,870 --> 01:39:39,520 now that is what you know we call a 2388 01:39:42,950 --> 01:39:40,880 synchronicity 2389 01:39:45,270 --> 01:39:42,960 uh one of these strange things that 2390 01:39:46,550 --> 01:39:45,280 people write off as coincidences that 2391 01:39:50,070 --> 01:39:46,560 may or may not be 2392 01:39:52,870 --> 01:39:50,080 connected in the cosmos somehow um 2393 01:39:54,070 --> 01:39:52,880 for some reason um and he found it very 2394 01:39:57,350 --> 01:39:54,080 spooky and creepy 2395 01:39:58,070 --> 01:39:57,360 this guy who i interviewed um but other 2396 01:40:00,310 --> 01:39:58,080 than that 2397 01:40:01,510 --> 01:40:00,320 uh to answer your question no it was not 2398 01:40:04,229 --> 01:40:01,520 a conspiracy 2399 01:40:05,590 --> 01:40:04,239 now uh one of the things that uh john 2400 01:40:09,510 --> 01:40:05,600 and bud hopkins 2401 01:40:12,629 --> 01:40:09,520 spoke about a lot is that uh 2402 01:40:13,430 --> 01:40:12,639 we are talking about a large number 2403 01:40:15,109 --> 01:40:13,440 potentially 2404 01:40:17,910 --> 01:40:15,119 millions of people that have gone 2405 01:40:20,229 --> 01:40:17,920 through an abduction experience 2406 01:40:22,070 --> 01:40:20,239 uh there are you know hundreds of 2407 01:40:25,990 --> 01:40:22,080 thousands of reports about this 2408 01:40:29,430 --> 01:40:26,000 not all of them are crazy 2409 01:40:31,990 --> 01:40:29,440 but now we have the ufo uap 2410 01:40:32,950 --> 01:40:32,000 subject out into the mass media right 2411 01:40:36,470 --> 01:40:32,960 now 2412 01:40:38,310 --> 01:40:36,480 is this a point in history where 2413 01:40:40,390 --> 01:40:38,320 we're going to start to hear more about 2414 01:40:41,750 --> 01:40:40,400 the abduction phenomenon people coming 2415 01:40:44,470 --> 01:40:41,760 forward 2416 01:40:46,229 --> 01:40:44,480 wow well first of all let me be very 2417 01:40:48,550 --> 01:40:46,239 clear that our reporting in the new york 2418 01:40:51,590 --> 01:40:48,560 times had nothing to do with aliens 2419 01:40:55,590 --> 01:40:51,600 and in order to you know have our 2420 01:40:57,510 --> 01:40:55,600 ufo stories uh keep their credibility 2421 01:40:58,709 --> 01:40:57,520 uh we had to make absolutely sure we 2422 01:41:02,149 --> 01:40:58,719 were talking about 2423 01:41:05,830 --> 01:41:02,159 objects that were detected by the navy 2424 01:41:08,070 --> 01:41:05,840 um on radar and thermal imaging cameras 2425 01:41:09,830 --> 01:41:08,080 and you know all kinds of other devices 2426 01:41:13,430 --> 01:41:09,840 and and witnessed by pilots 2427 01:41:16,709 --> 01:41:13,440 in the sky and sometimes underwater 2428 01:41:18,310 --> 01:41:16,719 not aliens okay we're not speculating 2429 01:41:21,430 --> 01:41:18,320 who was driving these 2430 01:41:23,590 --> 01:41:21,440 uh you know objects uh 2431 01:41:25,510 --> 01:41:23,600 were people getting abducted that was 2432 01:41:27,270 --> 01:41:25,520 not part of the times reporting nor 2433 01:41:28,390 --> 01:41:27,280 should it be or should it have been 2434 01:41:30,950 --> 01:41:28,400 because it's 2435 01:41:33,030 --> 01:41:30,960 far too speculative to be certainly in 2436 01:41:33,669 --> 01:41:33,040 the same bucket or even to be reported 2437 01:41:36,310 --> 01:41:33,679 on it all 2438 01:41:37,430 --> 01:41:36,320 except as anecdotal experiences of 2439 01:41:40,470 --> 01:41:37,440 people 2440 01:41:41,990 --> 01:41:40,480 now um will we see more 2441 01:41:43,750 --> 01:41:42,000 stories like that i don't know there is 2442 01:41:45,910 --> 01:41:43,760 definitely an association 2443 01:41:47,109 --> 01:41:45,920 john mack found an association between 2444 01:41:50,310 --> 01:41:47,119 ufos 2445 01:41:53,910 --> 01:41:50,320 and um alien abduction or alien 2446 01:41:55,109 --> 01:41:53,920 encounters what people reported as 2447 01:41:57,189 --> 01:41:55,119 they'll encounters if you 2448 01:41:59,189 --> 01:41:57,199 if you want to keep that distance from 2449 01:42:02,390 --> 01:41:59,199 the subject 2450 01:42:04,390 --> 01:42:02,400 definitely there's an association but uh 2451 01:42:06,229 --> 01:42:04,400 the the pentagon is not investigating 2452 01:42:10,709 --> 01:42:06,239 alien beings 2453 01:42:13,030 --> 01:42:10,719 investigate 2454 01:42:15,109 --> 01:42:13,040 uh that that anybody's gotten a hold of 2455 01:42:17,830 --> 01:42:15,119 that that is credible 2456 01:42:18,790 --> 01:42:17,840 and none of our reporting goes that way 2457 01:42:21,590 --> 01:42:18,800 when you ask 2458 01:42:23,510 --> 01:42:21,600 people in the pentagon um where do you 2459 01:42:26,229 --> 01:42:23,520 think these things come from they say 2460 01:42:27,990 --> 01:42:26,239 we do not speculate we are just trying 2461 01:42:30,550 --> 01:42:28,000 to figure out what accounts for their 2462 01:42:32,629 --> 01:42:30,560 aerodynamics you know what they are 2463 01:42:33,669 --> 01:42:32,639 if gather as much information as 2464 01:42:37,030 --> 01:42:33,679 possible 2465 01:42:39,590 --> 01:42:37,040 you know that we can about their 2466 01:42:41,510 --> 01:42:39,600 aerodynamics their capabilities you know 2467 01:42:43,430 --> 01:42:41,520 whatever 2468 01:42:45,270 --> 01:42:43,440 data we can gather but we are not 2469 01:42:48,149 --> 01:42:45,280 speculating and we respect that 2470 01:42:48,470 --> 01:42:48,159 so that's the first thing you got to say 2471 01:42:51,750 --> 01:42:48,480 that 2472 01:42:55,510 --> 01:42:51,760 i i don't want to mix up the two things 2473 01:42:58,550 --> 01:42:55,520 um now there have always been 2474 01:43:00,629 --> 01:42:58,560 a large number of so-called experiencers 2475 01:43:01,990 --> 01:43:00,639 or abductees who have come forward 2476 01:43:04,149 --> 01:43:02,000 despite the 2477 01:43:05,830 --> 01:43:04,159 stigma they are meeting in groups 2478 01:43:08,390 --> 01:43:05,840 they're talking to each other 2479 01:43:10,310 --> 01:43:08,400 they are seeking counseling from you 2480 01:43:14,629 --> 01:43:10,320 know psychiatrists like john mack 2481 01:43:15,910 --> 01:43:14,639 as a group therapy groups with each 2482 01:43:17,430 --> 01:43:15,920 other where they talk about their 2483 01:43:20,629 --> 01:43:17,440 experiences like aaa 2484 01:43:21,109 --> 01:43:20,639 people or you know all kinds of people 2485 01:43:23,350 --> 01:43:21,119 with 2486 01:43:26,070 --> 01:43:23,360 uh who are troubled by something that 2487 01:43:28,310 --> 01:43:26,080 happened to them in this case 2488 01:43:29,669 --> 01:43:28,320 something that they think they are 2489 01:43:32,229 --> 01:43:29,679 convinced was real 2490 01:43:34,629 --> 01:43:32,239 but they have no real evidence of that 2491 01:43:36,870 --> 01:43:34,639 and yet 2492 01:43:38,629 --> 01:43:36,880 it's it's a very common experience 2493 01:43:39,830 --> 01:43:38,639 enough for these people to gather and 2494 01:43:42,149 --> 01:43:39,840 talk about it 2495 01:43:43,590 --> 01:43:42,159 so i don't know whether we'll see more 2496 01:43:44,310 --> 01:43:43,600 of these people because there's already 2497 01:43:47,990 --> 01:43:44,320 a lot of them 2498 01:43:52,070 --> 01:43:48,000 right the uh did you see the 2499 01:43:53,030 --> 01:43:52,080 tv show by the way people of earth uh i 2500 01:43:55,270 --> 01:43:53,040 don't think i did i 2501 01:43:59,030 --> 01:43:55,280 the name is familiar to me but how can 2502 01:44:01,669 --> 01:43:59,040 you write a book about john mack 2503 01:44:03,510 --> 01:44:01,679 and not see people of earth okay take 2504 01:44:05,750 --> 01:44:03,520 out your pen ralph i want 2505 01:44:07,270 --> 01:44:05,760 i'm telling i'm giving ralph blumenthal 2506 01:44:11,189 --> 01:44:07,280 advice 2507 01:44:14,070 --> 01:44:11,199 people of earth it's a comedy series 2508 01:44:15,990 --> 01:44:14,080 um uh i think conan o'brien was the 2509 01:44:16,950 --> 01:44:16,000 executive producer and his company was 2510 01:44:20,070 --> 01:44:16,960 behind it 2511 01:44:23,270 --> 01:44:22,149 it's john mack it's john mack and bud 2512 01:44:25,590 --> 01:44:23,280 hopkins 2513 01:44:27,510 --> 01:44:25,600 and uh one of these groups that gets 2514 01:44:29,109 --> 01:44:27,520 together and talks about their abduction 2515 01:44:32,149 --> 01:44:29,119 experiences 2516 01:44:33,990 --> 01:44:32,159 it's it's it's hilarious it's uh 2517 01:44:36,070 --> 01:44:34,000 you know when it's too close to the mark 2518 01:44:37,669 --> 01:44:36,080 actually um you know 2519 01:44:39,669 --> 01:44:37,679 it sounds funny you talk about it but 2520 01:44:41,669 --> 01:44:39,679 it's not funny these people oh no that's 2521 01:44:44,229 --> 01:44:41,679 the point about this whole 2522 01:44:44,709 --> 01:44:44,239 about this where you're not allowed to 2523 01:44:48,229 --> 01:44:44,719 joke 2524 01:44:50,950 --> 01:44:48,239 about this very traumatic and uh 2525 01:44:51,669 --> 01:44:50,960 um you know these people went through 2526 01:44:55,030 --> 01:44:51,679 suffered all 2527 01:44:58,149 --> 01:44:55,040 not only the torment of uh you know what 2528 01:44:59,510 --> 01:44:58,159 what they went through uh as they 2529 01:45:02,790 --> 01:44:59,520 recount it you know 2530 01:45:05,109 --> 01:45:02,800 either consciously or in hypnosis but 2531 01:45:07,109 --> 01:45:05,119 remembering remembering it back and then 2532 01:45:08,470 --> 01:45:07,119 thinking it could happen again any time 2533 01:45:10,070 --> 01:45:08,480 and not knowing 2534 01:45:11,910 --> 01:45:10,080 you know what the experience was and 2535 01:45:13,990 --> 01:45:11,920 they can't talk to anybody about it 2536 01:45:17,830 --> 01:45:14,000 because people think they're crazy 2537 01:45:21,510 --> 01:45:17,840 so uh it's it's a it's a real burden 2538 01:45:24,310 --> 01:45:21,520 and yet and yet and yet there are 2539 01:45:24,870 --> 01:45:24,320 things that john mack found that people 2540 01:45:31,109 --> 01:45:24,880 came 2541 01:45:36,629 --> 01:45:31,119 had a better appreciation 2542 01:45:39,830 --> 01:45:38,629 these beings these telepathic 2543 01:45:43,030 --> 01:45:39,840 communications 2544 01:45:45,189 --> 01:45:43,040 made them more sensitive to 2545 01:45:46,709 --> 01:45:45,199 you know the problems on the planet made 2546 01:45:49,189 --> 01:45:46,719 them more loving 2547 01:45:51,350 --> 01:45:49,199 to to these beings and to each other and 2548 01:45:54,470 --> 01:45:51,360 to the intelligence in the universe 2549 01:45:56,390 --> 01:45:54,480 so there was that aspect of it that bud 2550 01:45:58,470 --> 01:45:56,400 hopkins and david jacobs 2551 01:45:59,430 --> 01:45:58,480 found less than john mack which is 2552 01:46:01,990 --> 01:45:59,440 interesting 2553 01:46:03,109 --> 01:46:02,000 um but john max certainly found it and 2554 01:46:05,669 --> 01:46:03,119 wrote about it 2555 01:46:07,189 --> 01:46:05,679 now uh david jacobs uh let's stay on the 2556 01:46:10,470 --> 01:46:07,199 subject for a second 2557 01:46:13,750 --> 01:46:10,480 david jacobs it comes from a more 2558 01:46:15,270 --> 01:46:13,760 uh benevolent point of view with uh 2559 01:46:17,669 --> 01:46:15,280 these abductions 2560 01:46:19,750 --> 01:46:17,679 uh bud hopkins kind of in the middle and 2561 01:46:20,709 --> 01:46:19,760 i think that john mack was more on a 2562 01:46:24,390 --> 01:46:20,719 benevolent 2563 01:46:25,189 --> 01:46:24,400 side of this um where they weren't here 2564 01:46:27,990 --> 01:46:25,199 to cause 2565 01:46:29,510 --> 01:46:28,000 us harm and these abductions weren't 2566 01:46:33,669 --> 01:46:29,520 necessarily 2567 01:46:36,470 --> 01:46:33,679 fearful or threatening um but 2568 01:46:37,430 --> 01:46:36,480 i mean how do how do we assess that you 2569 01:46:41,030 --> 01:46:37,440 know where they 2570 01:46:44,709 --> 01:46:41,040 it's like three different points of view 2571 01:46:46,550 --> 01:46:44,719 it's uh important not to overstate that 2572 01:46:49,750 --> 01:46:46,560 and oversimplify it and 2573 01:46:51,590 --> 01:46:49,760 i do that too as a way of uh you know 2574 01:46:53,270 --> 01:46:51,600 describing the differences but 2575 01:46:54,870 --> 01:46:53,280 it's a mistake to do that because i was 2576 01:46:58,390 --> 01:46:54,880 just reading again 2577 01:46:58,870 --> 01:46:58,400 through david jacobs books walking among 2578 01:47:03,510 --> 01:46:58,880 us 2579 01:47:07,270 --> 01:47:03,520 and you know the alien agenda 2580 01:47:09,990 --> 01:47:07,280 and then bud hopkins books you know 2581 01:47:11,830 --> 01:47:10,000 witnessed and missing time and john 2582 01:47:14,550 --> 01:47:11,840 mack's books uh 2583 01:47:16,149 --> 01:47:14,560 abduction and passport to the cosmos and 2584 01:47:16,790 --> 01:47:16,159 when you read the books it's more subtle 2585 01:47:19,189 --> 01:47:16,800 than that 2586 01:47:19,830 --> 01:47:19,199 their differences are not that clear-cut 2587 01:47:22,149 --> 01:47:19,840 but 2588 01:47:22,950 --> 01:47:22,159 for purposes of understanding their 2589 01:47:26,870 --> 01:47:22,960 differences 2590 01:47:31,030 --> 01:47:26,880 it is useful to say that john mack 2591 01:47:34,470 --> 01:47:31,040 did see this um 2592 01:47:35,510 --> 01:47:34,480 element of people getting positive 2593 01:47:38,149 --> 01:47:35,520 messages from 2594 01:47:40,470 --> 01:47:38,159 from the beings that that hopkins and 2595 01:47:42,709 --> 01:47:40,480 jacob saw less of 2596 01:47:44,629 --> 01:47:42,719 and it's true that jacobs particularly 2597 01:47:45,430 --> 01:47:44,639 took a very malevolent view of the 2598 01:47:49,109 --> 01:47:45,440 beings that 2599 01:47:50,070 --> 01:47:49,119 they were here for some reproductive 2600 01:47:52,390 --> 01:47:50,080 purpose apparently 2601 01:47:54,149 --> 01:47:52,400 to create a hybrid race that they didn't 2602 01:47:56,390 --> 01:47:54,159 care just like uh 2603 01:47:58,310 --> 01:47:56,400 humans dealing with lab animals they 2604 01:47:59,030 --> 01:47:58,320 don't care much about how the animals 2605 01:48:02,070 --> 01:47:59,040 feel 2606 01:48:03,030 --> 01:48:02,080 and he said that's sort of how the alien 2607 01:48:04,709 --> 01:48:03,040 beings treat us 2608 01:48:06,229 --> 01:48:04,719 they just subject to us to all these 2609 01:48:08,790 --> 01:48:06,239 experiments and 2610 01:48:10,149 --> 01:48:08,800 procedures and they don't care about the 2611 01:48:13,270 --> 01:48:10,159 trauma they inflict 2612 01:48:16,229 --> 01:48:13,280 and and and also jacobs and 2613 01:48:17,430 --> 01:48:16,239 um and hopkins were really more 2614 01:48:19,790 --> 01:48:17,440 convinced that 2615 01:48:22,709 --> 01:48:19,800 these experiences were happening in 2616 01:48:25,350 --> 01:48:22,719 recognizable reality 2617 01:48:27,669 --> 01:48:25,360 um that these were not you know it 2618 01:48:30,870 --> 01:48:27,679 wasn't that subtle that it was in some 2619 01:48:33,510 --> 01:48:30,880 you know um 2620 01:48:35,510 --> 01:48:33,520 intermediate realm you know another 2621 01:48:37,430 --> 01:48:35,520 dimension penetrating our dimension 2622 01:48:40,790 --> 01:48:37,440 which john mack always said 2623 01:48:41,669 --> 01:48:40,800 um they said this was these experiences 2624 01:48:43,910 --> 01:48:41,679 were real 2625 01:48:45,990 --> 01:48:43,920 uh in some way that we we don't 2626 01:48:49,109 --> 01:48:46,000 understand 2627 01:48:51,270 --> 01:48:49,119 john max started off that way and veered 2628 01:48:52,709 --> 01:48:51,280 more to the idea that 2629 01:48:54,870 --> 01:48:52,719 this is happening in some other 2630 01:48:58,310 --> 01:48:54,880 dimension it penetrates our dimension 2631 01:49:01,669 --> 01:48:58,320 it appears real um it leaves 2632 01:49:03,750 --> 01:49:01,679 fragmentary evidence but it's not the 2633 01:49:05,430 --> 01:49:03,760 everyday reality that we recognize so 2634 01:49:07,510 --> 01:49:05,440 that's another difference 2635 01:49:09,189 --> 01:49:07,520 but again it's important to remember 2636 01:49:09,830 --> 01:49:09,199 that these differences are a little less 2637 01:49:11,430 --> 01:49:09,840 subtle 2638 01:49:12,870 --> 01:49:11,440 when you read what the what the three of 2639 01:49:15,270 --> 01:49:12,880 them actually wrote 2640 01:49:16,709 --> 01:49:15,280 because neither of them was wedded to an 2641 01:49:18,950 --> 01:49:16,719 absolute position 2642 01:49:19,830 --> 01:49:18,960 now there was also there's also an 2643 01:49:23,589 --> 01:49:19,840 approach 2644 01:49:26,149 --> 01:49:23,599 to uh the therapy do you feel that 2645 01:49:27,589 --> 01:49:26,159 um david jacobs by the way his books 2646 01:49:29,910 --> 01:49:27,599 will scare the crap out of you 2647 01:49:31,910 --> 01:49:29,920 right i mean that there's no question 2648 01:49:33,109 --> 01:49:31,920 about that uh he does great work and 2649 01:49:34,950 --> 01:49:33,119 i've i've 2650 01:49:36,149 --> 01:49:34,960 you know i've talked to him many times 2651 01:49:39,510 --> 01:49:36,159 over the years 2652 01:49:42,390 --> 01:49:39,520 but his his stuff will scare you if you 2653 01:49:44,470 --> 01:49:42,400 if you take it literal um but back to a 2654 01:49:47,910 --> 01:49:44,480 john mack's approach to this 2655 01:49:48,550 --> 01:49:47,920 there is a lot of uh comments in the 2656 01:49:50,550 --> 01:49:48,560 community 2657 01:49:51,750 --> 01:49:50,560 about how when you're doing this type of 2658 01:49:54,070 --> 01:49:51,760 therapy 2659 01:49:56,070 --> 01:49:54,080 are you leading all right are you 2660 01:49:59,030 --> 01:49:56,080 leading with the questions are you 2661 01:50:01,510 --> 01:49:59,040 suggesting these things are you causing 2662 01:50:04,550 --> 01:50:01,520 the imagination to go active 2663 01:50:04,870 --> 01:50:04,560 or are you not and and john approached 2664 01:50:11,430 --> 01:50:04,880 it 2665 01:50:14,070 --> 01:50:11,440 uh these memories correct 2666 01:50:15,030 --> 01:50:14,080 yes and no i mean he was careful enough 2667 01:50:17,030 --> 01:50:15,040 to understand 2668 01:50:19,270 --> 01:50:17,040 the perils of hypnosis first of all he 2669 01:50:22,310 --> 01:50:19,280 was not a very 2670 01:50:23,430 --> 01:50:22,320 uh enthusiastic convert to hypnosis he 2671 01:50:26,550 --> 01:50:23,440 had studied it 2672 01:50:28,229 --> 01:50:26,560 as a psychiatrist but he always knew it 2673 01:50:32,390 --> 01:50:28,239 was something to be handled 2674 01:50:35,310 --> 01:50:32,400 warily hopkins and jacobs discovered it 2675 01:50:36,950 --> 01:50:35,320 and wow you know they adopted it more 2676 01:50:39,350 --> 01:50:36,960 enthusiastically now 2677 01:50:41,109 --> 01:50:39,360 john was more uh he discovered this 2678 01:50:42,870 --> 01:50:41,119 holotropic breath work which was a 2679 01:50:44,870 --> 01:50:42,880 relaxation technique 2680 01:50:46,709 --> 01:50:44,880 that was really short of hypnosis it was 2681 01:50:49,270 --> 01:50:46,719 a way of relaxing the body 2682 01:50:49,990 --> 01:50:49,280 so that memories could come back to you 2683 01:50:53,109 --> 01:50:50,000 um 2684 01:50:56,229 --> 01:50:53,119 but to answer your question uh about uh 2685 01:50:59,109 --> 01:50:56,239 creating memories uh that is a big 2686 01:51:00,790 --> 01:50:59,119 controversial uh issue with hypnosis and 2687 01:51:03,990 --> 01:51:00,800 it has it came up with a 2688 01:51:05,430 --> 01:51:04,000 remember the huge scare years ago of the 2689 01:51:08,470 --> 01:51:05,440 implanted memories 2690 01:51:10,390 --> 01:51:08,480 or the recreated memories depending on 2691 01:51:11,350 --> 01:51:10,400 what position you take of the children 2692 01:51:14,629 --> 01:51:11,360 who remembered 2693 01:51:17,830 --> 01:51:14,639 abuse at the uh mcmartin a school 2694 01:51:19,589 --> 01:51:17,840 yeah and uh you know guy two guys were 2695 01:51:23,350 --> 01:51:19,599 put away because they 2696 01:51:25,350 --> 01:51:23,360 murdered somebody in the memory of their 2697 01:51:27,030 --> 01:51:25,360 you know children remember that the 2698 01:51:28,390 --> 01:51:27,040 father had murdered somebody 2699 01:51:30,310 --> 01:51:28,400 and they didn't really have the proof 2700 01:51:32,950 --> 01:51:30,320 but the memory was so vivid 2701 01:51:34,870 --> 01:51:32,960 by the child who testified that the guy 2702 01:51:37,270 --> 01:51:34,880 got convicted and later on 2703 01:51:39,589 --> 01:51:37,280 it turned out that the detectives who 2704 01:51:42,149 --> 01:51:39,599 interviewed the child may have implanted 2705 01:51:43,990 --> 01:51:42,159 the idea because there was no evidence 2706 01:51:45,350 --> 01:51:44,000 and the guy was apparently innocent both 2707 01:51:49,109 --> 01:51:45,360 guys anyway 2708 01:51:51,350 --> 01:51:49,119 um so it is it is a dangerous area 2709 01:51:52,550 --> 01:51:51,360 uh hypnosis if it's not handled properly 2710 01:51:55,750 --> 01:51:52,560 you can lead you 2711 01:51:59,109 --> 01:51:55,760 uh john mack always said you can't 2712 01:52:01,589 --> 01:51:59,119 completely plant a foreign uh 2713 01:52:03,189 --> 01:52:01,599 completely foreign memory in somebody 2714 01:52:06,550 --> 01:52:03,199 who doesn't have it in other words 2715 01:52:11,750 --> 01:52:09,430 cannot be made to adopt a completely 2716 01:52:13,350 --> 01:52:11,760 absurd memory 2717 01:52:16,229 --> 01:52:13,360 you know counter to his or her 2718 01:52:19,830 --> 01:52:16,239 experience um 2719 01:52:22,709 --> 01:52:19,840 and and and therefore these alien 2720 01:52:23,830 --> 01:52:22,719 uh memories or whatever they were were 2721 01:52:25,830 --> 01:52:23,840 basically authentic 2722 01:52:27,750 --> 01:52:25,840 is is the way he he found it because 2723 01:52:31,189 --> 01:52:27,760 they couldn't have been implanted 2724 01:52:31,430 --> 01:52:31,199 not certainly not by him he did get into 2725 01:52:49,990 --> 01:52:31,440 a 2726 01:52:52,629 --> 01:52:50,000 them 2727 01:52:53,830 --> 01:52:52,639 and what he meant was he gives people 2728 01:52:56,830 --> 01:52:53,840 what he tried to 2729 01:53:00,149 --> 01:52:56,840 explain was that he gives people the 2730 01:53:03,910 --> 01:53:02,629 to be comfortable comfortable enough to 2731 01:53:06,310 --> 01:53:03,920 to recall 2732 01:53:07,990 --> 01:53:06,320 things that they actually uh that 2733 01:53:10,070 --> 01:53:08,000 happened to them 2734 01:53:11,030 --> 01:53:10,080 he didn't mean that he was actually 2735 01:53:12,709 --> 01:53:11,040 fabricating 2736 01:53:14,470 --> 01:53:12,719 something with somebody else that they 2737 01:53:16,390 --> 01:53:14,480 agreed to make something up 2738 01:53:19,589 --> 01:53:16,400 or that he was helping them make it up 2739 01:53:22,709 --> 01:53:19,599 but it was an unfortunate phrase that 2740 01:53:24,709 --> 01:53:22,719 led to some misunderstandings um but 2741 01:53:28,310 --> 01:53:24,719 there's no doubt it's a minefield 2742 01:53:31,750 --> 01:53:28,320 this whole idea of you know people 2743 01:53:32,550 --> 01:53:31,760 don't remember being abducted their mind 2744 01:53:33,910 --> 01:53:32,560 is hazy 2745 01:53:36,149 --> 01:53:33,920 let's say they don't remember what 2746 01:53:38,229 --> 01:53:36,159 happened and then they go into hypnosis 2747 01:53:39,990 --> 01:53:38,239 and suddenly it's clearer and then they 2748 01:53:42,550 --> 01:53:40,000 fill in all the details or a lot of the 2749 01:53:45,109 --> 01:53:42,560 details like betty and bonnie hill did 2750 01:53:45,910 --> 01:53:45,119 um so people are suspicious so women you 2751 01:53:47,510 --> 01:53:45,920 can't remember 2752 01:53:48,870 --> 01:53:47,520 and then suddenly you remember all these 2753 01:53:51,350 --> 01:53:48,880 things that you you didn't remember 2754 01:53:54,550 --> 01:53:51,360 before 2755 01:53:55,189 --> 01:53:54,560 and yet a very common feature of the 2756 01:53:57,030 --> 01:53:55,199 abduction 2757 01:53:58,390 --> 01:53:57,040 experience as related by the 2758 01:54:00,550

01:54:04,480 and it seems to be a feature of the 2762 01:54:09,910 --> 01:54:06,800 experience 2763 01:54:11,109 --> 01:54:09,920 that these beings or whatever happens to 2764 01:54:14,229 -->

01:56:12,070 --> 01:56:10,080 purpose too because he didn't want it 2814 01:56:13,589 --> 01:56:12,080 known that he was under investigation so 2815 01:56:14,310 --> 01:56:13,599 everybody was kind of

02:03:55,280 which he couldn't ultimately prove 2999 02:03:59,109 --> 02:03:56,320 granted 3000 02:03:59,910 --> 02:03:59,119 um and there's certain things first of 3001 02:04:01,830 --> 02:03:59,920 all 3002 02:04:03,589 --> 02:04:01,840 the stories were consistent that he 3003 02:04:05,189 --> 02:04:03,599 heard from people there was a general 3004 02:04:07,830 --> 02:04:05,199 theme running

the 3008 02:04:25,589 --> 02:04:24,239 telepathically 3009 02:04:27,589 --> 02:04:25,599 people would ask what do you mean these 3010 02:04:30,149 --> 02:04:27,599 beings spoke perfect english 3011

--> 02:04:35,679 anyway so the consistency of the stories 3015 02:04:41,109 --> 02:04:38,639 the fact that the stories were told by 3016 02:04:44,069 --> 02:04:41,119 such a broad cross section of people 3017 02:04:45,669 --> 02:04:44,079 professional people psychiatrists law 3018 02:04:48,629 --> 02:04:45,679 enforcement people cops 3019 02:04:51,030 --> 02:04:48,639 you know blue collar

the sky um 3023 02:05:03,030 --> 02:05:00,960 some of the people many of them 3024 02:05:04,069 --> 02:05:03,040 notice scars afterwards that they didn't 3025 02:05:07,589 --> 02:05:04,079 notice before 3026 02:05:09,430 --> 02:05:07,599 okay so-called scoop marks as if part of 3027 02:05:13,030 --> 02:05:09,440 the flesh was scooped out for some 3028 02:05:16,470 --> 02:05:13,040 tests um there was an association with 3029 02:05:19,750 --> 02:05:16,480 ufos very frequently they saw ufo before 3030 02:05:21,589 --> 02:05:19,760 they had their experience not always um 3031 02:05:23,189 --> 02:05:21,599 and it was not always at night 3032 02:05:25,510 --> 02:05:23,199 sometimes it was while they were driving 3033 02:05:27,270 --> 02:05:25,520 a car or in my case a snowmobile or 3034 02:05:28,870 --> 02:05:27,280 walking in the woods or 3035 02:05:30,390 --> 02:05:28,880 so it was not just something that 3036 02:05:31,830 --> 02:05:30,400 happened at night you know sleep 3037 02:05:35,350 --> 02:05:31,840 paralysis 3038 02:05:36,790 --> 02:05:35,360 um and uh then two other things 3039 02:05:39,510 --> 02:05:36,800 there were little differences in the 3040 02:05:40,229 --> 02:05:39,520 stories so the stories were each all 3041 02:05:42,950 --> 02:05:40,239 unique 3042 02:05:44,390 --> 02:05:42,960 as well as con generally consistent so 3043 02:05:47,030 --> 02:05:44,400 it's not as if they were all 3044 02:05:48,149 --> 02:05:47,040 reading off some playbook that they all 3045 02:05:50,629 --> 02:05:48,159 agreed to 3046 02:05:51,990 --> 02:05:50,639 you know to subscribe to and this is the 3047 02:05:54,229 --> 02:05:52,000 story we're gonna tell 3048 02:05:56,149 --> 02:05:54,239 uh some of the the details including the 3049 02:05:58,069 --> 02:05:56,159 instrumentation on the ships of the 3050 02:05:58,629 --> 02:05:58,079 things that these beings supposedly used 3051 02:06:01,510 --> 02:05:58,639 on the 3052 02:06:03,510 --> 02:06:01,520 the women

3056 02:06:12,870 --> 02:06:10,960 then the um the effect of the people 3057 02:06:14,310 --> 02:06:12,880 and describing the experience afterwards 3058 02:06:16,709 --> 02:06:14,320 they cried and they 3059 02:06:18,390 --> 02:06:16,719 they wept and they cursed and you know 3060 02:06:19,510 --> 02:06:18,400 he's a psychiatrist and he's looking at 3061 02:06:22,310 --> 02:06:19,520 these people 3062 02:06:23,990 --> 02:06:22,320 reacting like this remember supposedly 3063 02:06:25,510 --> 02:06:24,000 remembering these experiences 3064 02:06:27,189 --> 02:06:25,520 he said they're not making it up he says 3065 02:06:29,510 --> 02:06:27,199 i'm a psychiatrist i know what 3066 02:06:30,550 --> 02:06:29,520 how people act when they're telling a 3067 02:06:32,550 --> 02:06:30,560 story 3068 02:06:34,390 --> 02:06:32,560 and finally and perhaps the most 3069 02:06:37,109 --> 02:06:34,400 important thing 3070 02:06:38,310 --> 02:06:37,119 is sometimes there were other witnesses 3071 02:06:40,709 --> 02:06:38,320 um 3072 02:06:41,510 --> 02:06:40,719 to the extent that other witnesses could 3073 02:06:43,830 --> 02:06:41,520 say 3074 02:06:44,550 --> 02:06:43,840 that that one that one person or the 3075 02:06:46,709 --> 02:06:44,560 other 3076 02:06:48,550 --> 02:06:46,719 had a particular reaction when the 3077 02:06:49,669 --> 02:06:48,560 beings came in they didn't see the whole 3078 02:06:52,790 --> 02:06:49,679 thing because 3079 02:06:55,270 --> 02:06:52,800 often the witnesses were so-called 3080 02:06:57,030 --> 02:06:55,280 switched off or immobilized so they they 3081 02:06:59,189 --> 02:06:57,040 were put to sleep or 3082 02:07:00,709 --> 02:06:59,199 you know they they couldn't be roused 3083 02:07:02,790 --> 02:07:00,719 but in one case that 3084 02:07:05,910 --> 02:07:02,800 that mac talked about that was really 3085 02:07:09,109 --> 02:07:05,920 compelling two girls had a sleepover 3086 02:07:10,709 --> 02:07:09,119 you know youngish girls and during the 3087 02:07:13,189 --> 02:07:10,719 night one of the parents came down to 3088 02:07:14,950 --> 02:07:13,199 check on them and the girls were missing 3089 02:07:16,629 --> 02:07:14,960 the mother completely panicked called 3090 02:07:17,430 --> 02:07:16,639 out the police they did a search of the 3091 02:07:20,310 --> 02:07:17,440 neighborhood 3092 02:07:22,069 --> 02:07:20,320 no girls a few hours later they turned 3093 02:07:24,629 --> 02:07:22,079 up back in their beds 3094 02:07:26,790 --> 02:07:24,639 and later they remembered seeing a ufo 3095 02:07:29,350 --> 02:07:26,800 outside and they recaptured 3096 02:07:30,229 --> 02:07:29,360 you know parts of a abduction 3097 02:07:32,709 --> 02:07:30,239 experiences 3098 02:07:33,270 --> 02:07:32,719 so that is an interesting case of a 3099 02:07:35,350 --> 02:07:33,280 witness 3100 02:07:36,790 --> 02:07:35,360 a mother seeing that the kids were gone 3101 02:07:39,589 --> 02:07:36,800 when they should have been there 3102 02:07:39,990 --> 02:07:39,599 so all these things put together and all 3103 02:07:43,990 --> 02:07:40,000 the 3104 02:07:48,149 --> 02:07:44,000 as as i said mental illness 3105 02:07:50,229 --> 02:07:48,159 the delusion publicity seeking 3106 02:07:51,270 --> 02:07:50,239 that they had kids two years old didn't 3107 02:07:53,750 --> 02:07:51,280 read books about 3108 02:07:54,950 --> 02:07:53,760 abductions so they couldn't be reciting 3109 02:07:56,950 --> 02:07:54,960 that story 3110 02:07:58,390 --> 02:07:56,960 so all that made him think that 3111 02:07:59,589 --> 02:07:58,400 something had happened to these people 3112 02:08:02,229 --> 02:07:59,599 that he couldn't explain 3113 02:08:03,350 --> 02:08:02,239 so that was the the evidence that he was 3114 02:08:07,109 --> 02:08:03,360 able to 3115 02:08:08,790 --> 02:08:07,119 uh to lay out if he was with us today 3116 02:08:10,950 --> 02:08:08,800 and i'm not so sure that he would tell 3117 02:08:13,510 --> 02:08:10,960 us but i would certainly ask 3118 02:08:14,790 --> 02:08:13,520 what makes you know well yeah i know 3119 02:08:19,669 --> 02:08:14,800 right 3120 02:08:24,709 --> 02:08:19,679 um is this with all of the casework 3121 02:08:26,950 --> 02:08:24,719 i know that he found out something 3122 02:08:28,550 --> 02:08:26,960 something that connected everything that 3123 02:08:32,229 --> 02:08:28,560 he would never mention 3124 02:08:34,229 --> 02:08:32,239 would never verbalize but he needed to 3125 02:08:36,629 --> 02:08:34,239 hear that from casey there was 3126 02:08:38,069 --> 02:08:36,639 some little you know some little germ in 3127 02:08:40,870 --> 02:08:38,079 a petri dish 3128 02:08:42,390 --> 02:08:40,880 that was there that he knew about that 3129 02:08:43,990 --> 02:08:42,400 he didn't share because you can't you've 3130 02:08:46,390 --> 02:08:44,000 got to keep that confidential and you 3131 02:08:48,550 --> 02:08:46,400 don't want to contaminate 3132 02:08:50,629 --> 02:08:48,560 you know other other people with this 3133 02:08:54,470 --> 02:08:50,639 and suddenly everybody's talking about 3134 02:08:58,390 --> 02:08:54,480 he knew something and that little thing 3135 02:09:00,950 --> 02:08:58,400 caused the passion in in john mack 3136 02:09:02,149 --> 02:09:00,960 and i i don't know if we'll ever know 3137 02:09:05,030 --> 02:09:02,159 what that is 3138 02:09:06,550 --> 02:09:05,040 uh but he found something ralph he he 3139 02:09:09,589 --> 02:09:06,560 really did 3140 02:09:11,510 --> 02:09:09,599 yeah and he he he was courageous i mean 3141 02:09:13,830 --> 02:09:11,520 he had a lot of confidence but hopkins 3142 02:09:16,229 --> 02:09:13,840 thought he had too much confidence 3143 02:09:17,189 --> 02:09:16,239 but hopkins told me before he died that 3144 02:09:19,430 --> 02:09:17,199 he thought john 3145 02:09:20,790 --> 02:09:19,440 was just bursting with confidence and 3146 02:09:22,950 --> 02:09:20,800 that nothing could 3147 02:09:25,109 --> 02:09:22,960 uh dissuade him and there was some truth 3148 02:09:27,589 --> 02:09:25,119 to that um he was also 3149 02:09:29,750 --> 02:09:27,599 kind of naive about talking to the press 3150 02:09:31,589 --> 02:09:29,760 he told the press things that 3151 02:09:34,069 --> 02:09:31,599 you know nobody should tell the press if 3152 02:09:37,270 --> 02:09:34,079 they don't talk about your drug use 3153 02:09:39,990 --> 02:09:37,280 that you know don't talk about your your 3154 02:09:41,430 --> 02:09:40,000 romantic life if you have girlfriends 3155 02:09:43,510 --> 02:09:41,440 you know in addition to your wife 3156 02:09:45,750 --> 02:09:43,520 because he was always searching for that 3157 02:09:48,069 --> 02:09:45,760 missing romantic component in his life 3158 02:09:51,030 --> 02:09:48,079 and he was not sneaky about it 3159 02:09:52,390 --> 02:09:51,040 um his wife knew sally he loved sally 3160 02:09:55,109 --> 02:09:52,400 sally loved him 3161 02:09:55,750 --> 02:09:55,119 but yet he felt compelled to seek you 3162 02:09:58,229 --> 02:09:55,760 know 3163 02:09:59,189 --> 02:09:58,239 adventures elsewhere not many but a few 3164 02:10:02,790 --> 02:09:59,199 people 3165 02:10:03,750 --> 02:10:02,800 um so uh but he was careless about what 3166 02:10:05,669 --> 02:10:03,760 he said 3167 02:10:08,229 --> 02:10:05,679 because he was basically honest that way 3168 02:10:10,950 --> 02:10:08,239 he didn't feel he needed to keep secrets 3169 02:10:12,149 --> 02:10:10,960 so um and this by the way is why i 3170 02:10:14,870 --> 02:10:12,159 consider him a 3171 02:10:15,350 --> 02:10:14,880 a really completely well-rounded human 3172 02:10:18,470 --> 02:10:15,360 being 3173 02:10:21,589 --> 02:10:18,480 he was not a god he was not a saint 3174 02:10:23,750 --> 02:10:21,599 um he was a human like us he had his 3175 02:10:28,149 --> 02:10:23,760 flaws he was too naive too 3176 02:10:30,709 --> 02:10:28,159 passionate perhaps um but he had a an 3177 02:10:32,870 --> 02:10:30,719 abundance of courage which enabled him 3178 02:10:34,950 --> 02:10:32,880 to buck the harvard establishment 3179 02:10:36,390 --> 02:10:34,960 um when somebody else would have said 3180 02:10:37,990 --> 02:10:36,400 i'm not going to take this on because 3181 02:10:40,149 --> 02:10:38,000 it's just going to get me in trouble 3182 02:10:42,310 --> 02:10:40,159 and who needs it you know i got a big 3183 02:10:46,390 --> 02:10:42,320 career here which he did 3184 02:10:49,589 --> 02:10:46,400 um so anyway um 3185 02:10:50,149 --> 02:10:49,599 a little digression but um he did know 3186 02:10:52,229 --> 02:10:50,159 something 3187 02:10:53,990 --> 02:10:52,239 and he had that integrity that's what it 3188 02:10:56,229 --> 02:10:54,000 was it was integrity 3189 02:10:58,069 --> 02:10:56,239 that he would not turn his back on this 3190 02:11:00,550 --> 02:10:58,079 you know other people have found things 3191 02:11:03,990 --> 02:11:00,560 in science you know science by the way 3192 02:11:05,910 --> 02:11:04,000 it doesn't um proceed the way a lot of 3193 02:11:08,870 --> 02:11:05,920 people think it does by little 3194 02:11:09,990 --> 02:11:08,880 incremental steps somebody search you 3195 02:11:12,310 --> 02:11:10,000 know step by step 3196 02:11:13,910 --> 02:11:12,320 by step minuscule then then comes upon 3197 02:11:16,790 --> 02:11:13,920 finally the great discovery 3198 02:11:17,109 --> 02:11:16,800 it happens in flashes uh and we don't 3199 02:11:18,629 --> 02:11:17,119 know 3200 02:11:21,109 --> 02:11:18,639 very often where that comes from that 3201 02:11:24,069 --> 02:11:21,119 could be something 3202 02:11:26,069 --> 02:11:24,079 extraterrestrial or cosmic that that 3203 02:11:27,669 --> 02:11:26,079 download of information that 3204 02:11:29,270 --> 02:11:27,679 and scientists themselves have said this 3205 02:11:30,790 --> 02:11:29,280 i don't know where i got this idea but i 3206 02:11:35,109 --> 02:11:30,800 suddenly got it 3207 02:11:38,950 --> 02:11:38,470 you know he uh he kept himself open to 3208 02:11:43,669 --> 02:11:38,960 that 3209 02:11:45,430 --> 02:11:43,679 wouldn't subscribe to this 3210 02:11:47,430 --> 02:11:45,440 dead idea of science you just have to 3211 02:11:49,830 --> 02:11:47,440 follow the rules and one day 3212 02:11:50,870 --> 02:11:49,840 you know you'll get to your goal uh he 3213 02:11:54,149 --> 02:11:50,880 seized it 3214 02:11:57,830 --> 02:11:54,159 you know by the throat and uh not always 3215 02:12:00,310 --> 02:11:57,840 happily he took that secret with him 3216 02:12:01,589 --> 02:12:00,320 you know he took he knew he knew 3217 02:12:03,589 --> 02:12:01,599 something 3218 02:12:05,589 --> 02:12:03,599 and and he took it with him not to say 3219 02:12:06,550 --> 02:12:05,599 that like i said i'm not sure that he 3220 02:12:09,270 --> 02:12:06,560 would ever 3221 02:12:10,709 --> 02:12:09,280 disclose that to us but there was 3222 02:12:11,270 --> 02:12:10,719 something that he was able to piece 3223 02:12:13,510 --> 02:12:11,280 together 3224 02:12:14,629 --> 02:12:13,520 uh so much so that you know he changed 3225 02:12:17,990 --> 02:12:14,639 his life 3226 02:12:20,550 --> 02:12:18,000 and uh he pursued this doggedly 3227 02:12:23,189 --> 02:12:20,560 bud hopkins was the same way too as well 3228 02:12:27,510 --> 02:12:23,199 but hopkins was very assertive 3229 02:12:30,390 --> 02:12:27,520 um very direct and uh 3230 02:12:30,709 --> 02:12:30,400 again he didn't want the um how do i say 3231 02:12:32,550 --> 02:12:30,719 this 3232 02:12:35,350 --> 02:12:32,560 he didn't want the hoaxers he didn't 3233 02:12:37,669 --> 02:12:35,360 want the bsers in this community 3234 02:12:38,390 --> 02:12:37,679 to pollute the work that they were doing 3235 02:12:42,709 --> 02:12:38,400 and 3236 02:12:44,229 --> 02:12:42,719 you know what you said before jimmy 3237 02:12:45,830 --> 02:12:44,239 about that little test 3238 02:12:47,510 --> 02:12:45,840 bud was very good with that he had a 3239 02:12:50,310 --> 02:12:47,520 little test uh 3240 02:12:51,750 --> 02:12:50,320 first of all when he one of the secrets 3241 02:12:53,189 --> 02:12:51,760 of this whole thing it's not much of a 3242 02:12:56,790 --> 02:12:53,199 secret anymore but 3243 02:12:58,790 --> 02:12:56,800 is that some of these um uh ufos that 3244 02:13:01,990 --> 02:12:58,800 people saw had markings on them 3245 02:13:03,990 --> 02:13:02,000 and they saw that in the ships um that 3246 02:13:04,870 --> 02:13:04,000 they'd be laid out on a table for some 3247 02:13:07,350 --> 02:13:04,880 kind of you know 3248 02:13:09,750 --> 02:13:07,360 medical procedure or what and they would 3249 02:13:11,270 --> 02:13:09,760 look up and they would see these letters 3250 02:13:11,589 --> 02:13:11,280 that they didn't quite recognize but 3251 02:13:17,350 --> 02:13:11,599 they 3252 02:13:19,109 --> 02:13:17,360 and bud hopkins made a list of them 3253 02:13:21,270 --> 02:13:19,119 but he wouldn't show them to anybody 3254 02:13:23,510 --> 02:13:21,280 because he didn't want to contaminate 3255 02:13:25,430 --> 02:13:23,520 the field by having people say oh yeah i 3256 02:13:26,709 --> 02:13:25,440 saw that but hopkins showed me that now 3257 02:13:29,270 --> 02:13:26,719 i remember it 3258 02:13:29,990 --> 02:13:29,280 so that was very very closely held these 3259 02:13:31,910 --> 02:13:30,000 symbols 3260 02:13:33,910 --> 02:13:31,920 they've come out in some

02:14:46,550 --> 02:14:45,599 are running after the story it's just a 3295 02:14:49,910 --> 02:14:46,560 zoo 3296 02:14:52,229 --> 02:14:49,920 um and it's very hard to especially for 3297 02:14:55,990 --> 02:14:52,239 somebody who's no longer on the paper 3298 02:14:59,750 --> 02:14:56,000 uh to get access to the same source so 3299 02:15:02,229 --> 02:14:59,760 um uh today's times has

02:15:13,280 talking to people getting some idea of 3306 02:15:17,270 --> 02:15:15,119 what might be in the report 3307 02:15:19,189 --> 02:15:17,280 doing some you know basic reporting but 3308 02:15:21,189 --> 02:15:19,199 a lot of people around the story now and 3309 02:15:23,350 --> 02:15:21,199 it makes it very very difficult to chase 3310 02:15:24,229 --> 02:15:23,360 whenever a journalist gets into this 3311 02:15:27,510 --> 02:15:24,239 kind of a 3312 02:15:29,589 --> 02:15:27,520 situation this you know mob mentality 3313 02:15:31,669 --> 02:15:29,599 it's very hard to break something out 3314 02:15:34,950 --> 02:15:31,679 for yourself do you have a feel 3315 02:15:37,669 --> 02:15:34,960 for things do you have a an opinion or 3316 02:15:41,510 --> 02:15:37,679 an

you needed really high security 3335 02:16:22,790 --> 02:16:21,199 clearances to get at it and not 3336 02:16:24,149 --> 02:16:22,800 everybody in the government 3337 02:16:26,310 --> 02:16:24,159 you

it doesn't work that way especially the 3404 02:18:54,070 --> 02:18:53,280 government has a long history of hiding 3405 02:18:55,990 --> 02:18:54,080 stuff 3406 02:18:57,990 --> 02:18:56,000 and

--> 02:19:19,760 incidents which they never did before 3417 02:19:24,870 --> 02:19:21,760 that's a big step forward so 3418 02:19:26,070 --> 02:19:24,880 they are more forthcoming but that 3419 02:19:27,349 --> 02:19:26,080 doesn't mean that everything's going to 3420 02:19:30,309 --> 02:19:27,359 be disclosed 3421 02:19:31,190 --> 02:19:30,319 so i you know um the more i hear about 3422

ridicule factor 3512 02:23:00,790 --> 02:22:58,319 which was the problem 3513 02:23:01,830 --> 02:23:00,800 for many many years that people couldn't 3514 02:23:05,030 --> 02:23:01,840 mention it 3515 02:23:08,230 --> 02:23:05,040 um you know governor fife symington 3516 02:23:11,270 --> 02:23:08,240 of uh arizona i believe uh 3517 02:23:13,429 --> 02:23:11,280 he made fun of us sighting and later on 3518 02:23:15,429 --> 02:23:13,439 he apologized for it because he held 3519 02:23:17,590 --> 02:23:15,439 people up to ridicule 3520 02:23:19,270 --> 02:23:17,600 whereas what he should have said was 3521 02:23:20,150 --> 02:23:19,280 yeah he saw something he couldn't 3522 02:23:22,950 --> 02:23:20,160 explain 3523 02:23:24,070 --> 02:23:22,960 and that would have been the the honest 3524 02:23:25,670 --> 02:23:24,080 straightforward way 3525 02:23:28,150 --> 02:23:25,680 to deal with the subject but he made a 3526 02:23:29,190 --> 02:23:28,160 big joke of it and made people feel 3527 02:23:32,070 --> 02:23:29,200 ashamed 3528 02:23:34,309 --> 02:23:32,080 who had seen these things so um now 3529 02:23:36,389 --> 02:23:34,319 including his son 3530 02:23:37,670 --> 02:23:36,399 you

um so uh i i hope 3540 02:24:01,349 --> 02:23:59,200 that at least we are out of that era 3541 02:24:02,469 --> 02:24:01,359 where anybody who mentions it is 3542 02:24:04,710 --> 02:24:02,479 ridiculed 3543 02:24:06,630 --> 02:24:04,720 um there are things there that we don't 3544 02:24:08,950 --> 02:24:06,640 understand they are real 3545 02:24:09,990 --> 02:24:08,960 now we know that they have physical 3546 02:24:11,670 --> 02:24:10,000 substance 3547 02:24:13,349 --> 02:24:11,680 they're not imaginary we don't know 3548 02:24:14,070 --> 02:24:13,359 anything beyond that where they come 3549 02:24:16,550 --> 02:24:14,080 from who's 3550 02:24:18,050 --> 02:24:16,560 running them why they're here what they 3551 02:24:19,830 --> 02:24:18,060 want 3552 02:24:21,750 --> 02:24:19,840 [Music] 3553 02:24:24,150 --> 02:24:21,760 but at least we know now that they're 3554 02:24:26,790 --> 02:24:24,160 real if the report 3555 02:24:29,270 --> 02:24:26,800 and of course i'm speculating here but 3556 02:24:30,230 --> 02:24:29,280 if the report removes a foreign 3557 02:24:32,710 --> 02:24:30,240 adversary 3558 02:24:33,830 --> 02:24:32,720 like you know china or russia it's not 3559 02:24:36,950 --> 02:24:33,840 them 3560 02:24:40,150 --> 02:24:36,960 it's not us right it's not the united 3561 02:24:43,030 --> 02:24:40,160 states it's not a special access program 3562 02:24:44,469 --> 02:24:43,040 it's it's not if those two elements are 3563 02:24:47,110 --> 02:24:44,479 removed 3564 02:24:47,510 --> 02:24:47,120 there's only a third choice here isn't 3565 02:24:51,110 --> 02:24:47,520 there 3566 02:24:54,389 --> 02:24:51,120 right do you do you think it could lean 3567 02:24:57,270 --> 02:24:54,399 that way would there be a mention of 3568 02:24:59,429 --> 02:24:57,280 little green men 3569 02:25:02,070 --> 02:24:59,439 no i don't think they'd be good first of 3570 02:25:04,309 --> 02:25:02,080 all they're not green but okay 3571 02:25:05,110 --> 02:25:04,319 but um no i think they're going to stay 3572 02:25:08,309 --> 02:25:05,120 away from that 3573 02:25:11,429 --> 02:25:08,319 uh i think the most they'll say is that 3574 02:25:13,030 --> 02:25:11,439 they're not ours um we don't think that 3575 02:25:16,230 --> 02:25:13,040 they're theirs 3576 02:25:19,670 --> 02:25:16,240 and uh and what does that leave well 3577 02:25:21,990 --> 02:25:19,680 that leaves a big question mark but um 3578 02:25:22,950 --> 02:25:22,000 we don't know and you know the 3579 02:25:25,270 --> 02:25:22,960 government is very 3580 02:25:27,990 --> 02:25:25,280 happy to say we don't know we don't know 3581 02:25:31,990 --> 02:25:29,910 i think that is as far as they'll go now 3582 02:25:33,590 --> 02:25:32,000 there maybe there's a classified version 3583 02:25:36,230 --> 02:25:33,600 that we won't get to see 3584 02:25:37,510 --> 02:25:36,240 where they'll say there's other evidence 3585 02:25:41,110 --> 02:25:37,520 that's come to light 3586 02:25:44,630 --> 02:25:41,120 that points this way or that way um 3587 02:25:48,389 --> 02:25:46,630 that that remains to be seen how much 3588 02:25:49,349 --> 02:25:48,399 you know might be provided to to 3589 02:25:51,910 --> 02:25:49,359 congress 3590 02:25:53,190 --> 02:25:51,920 uh that will not be public but you know 3591 02:25:55,910 --> 02:25:53,200 congress leaks too 3592 02:25:57,910 --> 02:25:55,920 and maybe uh look who does this 3593 02:25:59,429 --> 02:25:57,920 information belong to 3594 02:26:02,309 --> 02:25:59,439 you know the government has long been 3595 02:26:04,230 --> 02:26:02,319 afraid that oh my god if the american 3596 02:26:05,910 --> 02:26:04,240 people hear that there are 3597 02:26:07,830 --> 02:26:05,920 other beings in the universe there's 3598 02:26:09,670 --> 02:26:07,840 going to be riots 3599 02:26:11,590 --> 02:26:09,680 and i think that the people have been 3600 02:26:13,510 --> 02:26:11,600 ahead of the government all along 3601 02:26:14,790 --> 02:26:13,520 when the government said these things 3602 02:26:16,630 --> 02:26:14,800 are imaginary 3603 02:26:19,110 --> 02:26:16,640 you're seeing reflections you're seeing 3604 02:26:22,550 --> 02:26:19,120 dust on the windshield 3605 02:26:24,230 --> 02:26:22,560 the american people know knew then 3606 02:26:26,790 --> 02:26:24,240 especially the people with military 3607 02:26:28,790 --> 02:26:26,800 experience that that was a load 3608 02:26:30,550 --> 02:26:28,800 and you can't tell a pilot who served in 3609 02:26:31,670 --> 02:26:30,560 world war ii

windows 3613 02:26:40,230 --> 02:26:38,720 flashing red and you know green lights 3614 02:26:43,830 --> 02:26:40,240 so that's ridiculous 3615 02:26:46,870 --> 02:26:43,840 and people knew that was ridiculous and 3616 02:26:49,030 --> 02:26:46,880 um to hear again and again that 3617 02:26:50,070 --> 02:26:49,040 you know they were imagining things or 3618 02:26:54,230 --> 02:26:50,080 that 3619

problems in this field the poll 3682 02:29:01,590 --> 02:28:59,600 the polling is not good because the 3683 02:29:04,710 --> 02:29:01,600 subject has so much stigma 3684 02:29:05,990 --> 02:29:04,720

02:29:22,880 questions have you ever woken up with 3694 02:29:26,630 --> 02:29:24,720 lights in there have you ever felt 3695 02:29:27,990 --> 02:29:26,640 you were flying have you ever felt this 3696

with the scenario that i 4091 02:45:48,070 --> 02:45:45,920 kind of agree with you on 4092 02:45:49,750 --> 02:45:48,080 that you know there's something coming 4093 02:45:51,910 --> 02:45:49,760 or something undeniable 4094 02:45:53,110 --> 02:45:51,920 that's why the government's kind of you 4095 02:45:56,150 --> 02:45:53,120 know 4096 02:45:56,870 --> 02:45:56,160 doing this soft opening if you will and 4097 02:46:00,309 --> 02:45:56,880 then it's 4098 02:46:01,990 --> 02:46:00,319 gaining momentum and um you know 4099 02:46:03,429 --> 02:46:02,000 the cat's going to be in the bag but 4100 02:46:06,950 --> 02:46:03,439 there's going to be a power tail 4101 02:46:08,630 --> 02:46:06,960 sticking out like lou said last night 4102 02:46:10,469 --> 02:46:08,640 so if we go with the scenario that the 4103 02:46:11,750 --> 02:46:10,479 government knows something's coming and 4104 02:46:14,710 --> 02:46:11,760 they've got to kind of 4105 02:46:17,590 --> 02:46:14,720 you know open up the american people and 4106 02:46:19,990 --> 02:46:17,600 talk about it more 4107 02:46:21,269 --> 02:46:20,000 don't you think that that would warrant 4108 02:46:27,910 --> 02:46:21,279 them 4109 02:46:32,469 --> 02:46:31,429 i think dropping i think yeah i know i 4110 02:46:35,590 --> 02:46:32,479 know i know i know 4111 02:46:38,710 --> 02:46:35,600 it's one thing to 4112 02:46:40,550 --> 02:46:38,720 dangle the carrot out there right it's 4113 02:46:42,389 --> 02:46:40,560 one thing to dangle the carrot 4114 02:46:44,070 --> 02:46:42,399 and then you know on the end of a stick 4115 02:46:47,190 --> 02:46:44,080 and then it's another thing 4116 02:46:50,230 --> 02:46:47,200 to start smacking people with the stick 4117 02:46:55,349 --> 02:46:50,240 right right maybe a huge 4118 02:46:59,110 --> 02:46:58,150 come on what's your best prediction and 4119 02:47:02,389 --> 02:46:59,120 i'll give you mine 4120 02:47:05,990 --> 02:47:05,030 i think that the uaptf is going to deal 4121 02:47:08,550 --> 02:47:06,000 with drones 4122 02:47:10,870 --> 02:47:08,560 it's going to be dealing with china and 4123 02:47:13,110 --> 02:47:10,880 russia and adversarial positions a 4124 02:47:14,870 --> 02:47:13,120 defensive measure 4125 02:47:17,110 --> 02:47:14,880 and aerial threats inside of our 4126 02:47:17,910 --> 02:47:17,120 airspace i don't think that there is 4127 02:47:20,309 --> 02:47:17,920 going to be 4128 02:47:21,190 --> 02:47:20,319 if anything would stop that it wouldn't 4129 02:47:24,230 --> 02:47:21,200 be e.t 4130 02:47:27,990 --> 02:47:24,240 you know what would stop that that uh 4131 02:47:31,190 --> 02:47:28,000 the odni finds out that lockheed 4132 02:47:31,830 --> 02:47:31,200 and uh uh you know these uh other 4133 02:47:35,429 --> 02:47:31,840 defense 4134 02:47:39,030 --> 02:47:35,439 uh corporations um have been testing 4135 02:47:41,349 --> 02:47:39,040 uh drones and then 4136 02:47:43,349 --> 02:47:41,359 you know that that it was us all along 4137 02:47:46,469 --> 02:47:43,359 and that would stop that part of it 4138 02:47:49,190 --> 02:47:46,479 and that would be a bigger controversy 4139 02:47:50,630 --> 02:47:49,200 uh than everything else i think 4140 02:47:54,790 --> 02:47:50,640 personally 4141 02:47:58,070 --> 02:47:54,800 that e.t is 4142 02:48:00,790 --> 02:47:58,080 something that wouldn't freak me out 4143 02:48:03,670 --> 02:48:00,800 what would freak me out is you know 4144 02:48:05,990 --> 02:48:03,680 russia having anti-gravity drones 4145 02:48:07,510 --> 02:48:06,000 that you know that that would freak me 4146 02:48:10,710 --> 02:48:07,520 the freak out 4147 02:48:11,110 --> 02:48:10,720 having it be e.t would be but i just 4148 02:48:13,349 --> 02:48:11,120 don't 4149 02:48:14,950 --> 02:48:13,359 see it going in that direction and that 4150 02:48:17,910 --> 02:48:14,960 that's that's the way that i 4151 02:48:19,750 --> 02:48:17,920 feel um i'm not even so sure if we're 4152 02:48:21,990 --> 02:48:19,760 gonna get anything this month 4153 02:48:23,110 --> 02:48:22,000 you know that's the other part i'm not 4154 02:48:24,870 --> 02:48:23,120 so sure that 4155 02:48:26,790 --> 02:48:24,880 i think that the investigation in this 4156 02:48:29,429 --> 02:48:26,800 report is so complex 4157 02:48:31,590 --> 02:48:29,439 that involves so many different agencies 4158 02:48:32,950 --> 02:48:31,600 so many different arms and branches of 4159 02:48:35,070 --> 02:48:32,960 the military 4160 02:48:36,469 --> 02:48:35,080 at so many different levels and it's so 4161 02:48:37,590 --> 02:48:36,479 compartmentalized 4162 02:48:40,230 --> 02:48:37,600 that they're not going to be able to 4163 02:48:43,510 --> 02:48:40,240 compile this in 180 days 4164 02:48:44,870 --> 02:48:43,520 i i i think it's nearly impossible 4165 02:48:46,950 --> 02:48:44,880 especially in the middle of this 4166 02:48:48,950 --> 02:48:46,960 pandemic so 4167 02:48:49,990 --> 02:48:48,960 um i'm not so sure that we're gonna get 4168 02:48:52,870 --> 02:48:50,000 anything in june 4169 02:48:53,269 --> 02:48:52,880 that's my prediction okay so you're 4170 02:48:56,950 -->
