00:01:44,880 he is a web savvy edu punk 29 00:01:49,990 --> 00:01:47,200 and i think that's a great description 30 00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,000 he has connected many dots keeping the 31 00:01:55,109 --> 00:01:52,479 pulse of research from a ufology 32 00:01:58,149 --> 00:01:55,119 standpoint and i value joe as a human 33 00:02:00,069 --> 00:01:58,159 being and value his philosophical views 34 00:02:02,069 --> 00:02:00,079 of life and understandings of the 35 00:02:03,510 --> 00:02:02,079 machinations behind the veil known as 36 00:02:06,469 --> 00:02:03,520 politics 37 00:02:08,790 --> 00:02:06,479 among his favorite quotes democracy is 38 00:02:11,350 --> 00:02:08,800 two wolves and a sheep voting on what's 39 00:02:13,030 --> 00:02:11,360 for dinner and with the republic 40 00:02:15,430 --> 00:02:13,040 the sheep has a gun 41 00:02:17,589 --> 00:02:15,440 it's not just political views that 42 00:02:20,630 --> 00:02:17,599 astound me the most about joe 43 00:02:23,110 --> 00:02:20,640 my admiration is vividly tied to his 44 00:02:25,830 --> 00:02:23,120 kind humanitarian way 45 00:02:28,070 --> 00:02:25,840 of approaching the sacred mystery of 46 00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:28,080 ufos and those involved with its 47 00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:31,280 research nothing draws more interest 48 00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:34,080 too many than the so-called invisible 49 00:02:40,229 --> 00:02:37,200 college of ufology is it real 50 00:02:43,030 --> 00:02:40,239 or is it imaginary the participants may 51 00:02:45,270 --> 00:02:43,040 be anonymous because 52 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,280 of the often associated stigma that 53 00:02:48,550 --> 00:02:47,519 comes with the tales of ufos and little 54 00:02:51,190 --> 00:02:48,560 green men 55 00:02:53,589 --> 00:02:51,200 however a group of academics scientists 56 00:02:55,589 --> 00:02:53,599 and many others belong to a domain just 57 00:02:58,229 --> 00:02:55,599 outside of public view 58 00:03:00,790 --> 00:02:58,239 yet teeming with collective revelations 59 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:00,800 from intelligence communities civilian 60 00:03:04,630 --> 00:03:03,360 research think tanks and military 61 00:03:06,710 --> 00:03:04,640 insiders 62 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:06,720 the fascinating result is a group that 63 00:03:12,070 --> 00:03:09,120 for all plausibility does not exist in 64 00:03:14,070 --> 00:03:12,080 any formal way the invisible colleges j 65 00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:14,080 alan heineck called them 66 00:03:19,670 --> 00:03:16,640 whether real or not in a formal group 67 00:03:22,710 --> 00:03:19,680 sense are very much invisible 68 00:03:25,430 --> 00:03:22,720 and yet a force upon the ufo field many 69 00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:25,440 will purport are the players at the 70 00:03:30,470 --> 00:03:28,159 frontiers of research they identify 71 00:03:32,630 --> 00:03:30,480 hoaxers and out hoaxers websites among 72 00:03:35,190 --> 00:03:32,640 themselves but not publicly 73 00:03:37,910 --> 00:03:35,200 their grapevine of information is much 74 00:03:40,390 --> 00:03:37,920 like that of a secret society they hang 75 00:03:42,309 --> 00:03:40,400 on to alleged pieces of alien craft as 76 00:03:43,589 --> 00:03:42,319 if they were puzzle pieces to the holy 77 00:03:45,110 --> 00:03:43,599 grail 78 00:03:47,509 --> 00:03:45,120 they are typically intelligent and 79 00:03:50,229 --> 00:03:47,519 successful yet shy away from public 80 00:03:52,869 --> 00:03:50,239 scrutiny the invisible college is quite 81 00:03:54,550 --> 00:03:52,879 literally a moving wave of information 82 00:03:56,949 --> 00:03:54,560 collectives on a mission to solve 83 00:03:58,869 --> 00:03:56,959 humanity's greatest questions 84 00:04:00,789 --> 00:03:58,879 joe has unique views on just about 85 00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,799 everything and i couldn't think of a 86 00:04:05,350 --> 00:04:03,040 better person to help myself and others 87 00:04:06,229 --> 00:04:05,360 understand the mysterious reality or 88 00:04:08,630 --> 00:04:06,239 myth 89 00:04:09,830 --> 00:04:08,640 of the invisible college and disclosure 90 00:04:11,670 --> 00:04:09,840 in general 91 00:04:13,750 --> 00:04:11,680 joe welcome to the hero paranormal 92 00:04:16,069 --> 00:04:13,760 podcast 93 00:04:17,189 --> 00:04:16,079 you're very kind ryan i appreciate that 94 00:04:19,430 --> 00:04:17,199 introduction 95 00:04:20,710 --> 00:04:19,440 very much and in the world of precise 96 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:20,720 scholarship 97 00:04:24,469 --> 00:04:22,800 i was not sure the libertarian party's 98 00:04:26,070 --> 00:04:24,479 national committee just uh chaired 99 00:04:28,150 --> 00:04:26,080 libertarian party of utah which was 100 00:04:30,870 --> 00:04:28,160 quite enough 101 00:04:33,749 --> 00:04:30,880 but yeah i am a philosophical 102 00:04:36,629 --> 00:04:33,759 radical voluntarist i believe in the use 103 00:04:38,790 --> 00:04:36,639 of zero force to initiate 104 00:04:39,909 --> 00:04:38,800 any kind of political uh or social 105 00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:39,919 change 106 00:04:46,790 --> 00:04:43,520 uh i don't um oppose the use of force to 107 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:46,800 react to force being taken against a 108 00:04:50,870 --> 00:04:49,120 another but i would want that minimized 109 00:04:54,230 --> 00:04:50,880 and maybe i'm actually leaning toward 110 00:04:56,790 --> 00:04:54,240 pacifism which is the best way to react 111 00:04:58,950 --> 00:04:56,800 to force or violence is with uh 112 00:05:01,189 --> 00:04:58,960 martin luther king jr or gandhi's 113 00:05:03,270 --> 00:05:01,199 approach of of uh 114 00:05:04,950 --> 00:05:03,280 civil disobedience and and holding up a 115 00:05:07,029 --> 00:05:04,960 mirror to those who would think that 116 00:05:08,469 --> 00:05:07,039 force is ever appropriate 117 00:05:10,310 --> 00:05:08,479 and to cut to the chase in this 118 00:05:12,629 --> 00:05:10,320 interview i'd like to imagine universe 119 00:05:14,790 --> 00:05:12,639 that's teeming with life 120 00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:14,800 would have encountered that as a natural 121 00:05:20,230 --> 00:05:17,520 law of survival that you just don't get 122 00:05:22,150 --> 00:05:20,240 to be someone who initiates violence 123 00:05:24,390 --> 00:05:22,160 against others and have that the 124 00:05:25,990 --> 00:05:24,400 genetically reinforced behavior and the 125 00:05:27,670 --> 00:05:26,000 longest 126 00:05:29,510 --> 00:05:27,680 of terms 127 00:05:31,670 --> 00:05:29,520 and that those societies 128 00:05:33,909 --> 00:05:31,680 in a natural way die out 129 00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:33,919 and that more enlightened folks who hold 130 00:05:36,870 --> 00:05:35,840 non-initiation of aggression as a core 131 00:05:39,670 --> 00:05:36,880 value 132 00:05:41,430 --> 00:05:39,680 expand and i hope that's the universe we 133 00:05:43,189 --> 00:05:41,440 live in i don't know 134 00:05:45,029 --> 00:05:43,199 and when i hear myself say things like 135 00:05:46,870 --> 00:05:45,039 that i realize that then encountering 136 00:05:49,670 --> 00:05:46,880 cosmology and 137 00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:49,680 and ufos if you like then it does become 138 00:05:52,469 --> 00:05:51,440 something of a philosophical or almost 139 00:05:54,070 --> 00:05:52,479 religious 140 00:05:55,749 --> 00:05:54,080 encounter which anyone who's been out 141 00:05:57,749 --> 00:05:55,759 west where i live 142 00:06:00,469 --> 00:05:57,759 and looked at the night sky knows that 143 00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,479 cosmology by definition is a religious 144 00:06:03,430 --> 00:06:02,639 experience right right that sense of 145 00:06:05,510 --> 00:06:03,440 just 146 00:06:07,749 --> 00:06:05,520 an infinity out there of which we are 147 00:06:09,350 --> 00:06:07,759 but the tiniest of specs having our 148 00:06:11,830 --> 00:06:09,360 great dramas 149 00:06:13,670 --> 00:06:11,840 play out on

it's good to have you here 153 00:06:22,870 --> 00:06:20,720 and you're entirely right ufos and 154 00:06:24,469 --> 00:06:22,880 technology and religion they all kind of 155 00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,479 intermix and 156 00:06:27,909 --> 00:06:26,720 joe you've caught glimpses behind the 157 00:06:30,150 --> 00:06:27,919 scenes 158 00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:30,160 of some of the brightest and best 159 00:06:34,909 --> 00:06:32,800 ufology has to offer calling congress to 160 00:06:37,590 --> 00:06:34,919 hold open hearings on the government's 161 00:06:39,270 --> 00:06:37,600

my experience the invisible college 165 00:06:54,070 --> 00:06:51,039 uh is a real thing 166 00:06:57,270 --> 00:06:54,080 i it depends on how any given individual 167 00:07:00,070 --> 00:06:57,280

00:09:03,509 --> 00:09:01,440 revealed formally classified government 222 00:09:05,190 --> 00:09:03,519 history it really really happened 223 00:09:07,670 --> 00:09:05,200 trained by people at the monroe 224 00:09:09,430 --> 00:09:07,680 institute robert monroe in his book 225 00:09:12,630 --> 00:09:09,440 journeys out of the body 226 00:09:14,630 --> 00:09:12,640 so this phenomenology of of uh our true 227 00:09:16,550 --> 00:09:14,640 nature you know are we some sort of 228 00:09:18,389 --> 00:09:16,560 being that has chosen to have a human 229 00:09:19,190 --> 00:09:18,399 experience and is wearing some sort of 230 00:09:20,310 --> 00:09:19,200 meat 231 00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:20,320 suit 232 00:09:27,269 --> 00:09:24,240 a while and then our greater life is 233 00:09:29,430 --> 00:09:27,279 something more than this i don't know 234 00:09:31,590 --> 00:09:29,440 but remote viewing would suggest that 235 00:09:33,590 --> 00:09:31,600 human beings have a cognitive ability to 236 00:09:36,230 --> 00:09:33,600 perceive things at a distance something 237 00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:36,240 also studied at ions iambs 238 00:09:40,470 --> 00:09:39,120 well anyhow how put off was giving a 239 00:09:42,630 --> 00:09:40,480 a speech 240 00:09:44,630 --> 00:09:42,640 accepting this award at a joint meeting 241 00:09:46,150 --> 00:09:44,640 of ssc and irva 242 00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:46,160 and said you know many of you know that 243 00:09:51,670 --> 00:09:49,040 i was a founding member of irva but 244 00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:51,680 i'm also being given this award for my 245 00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:53,600 work on ufos and i've never published 246 00:09:57,990 --> 00:09:55,839 anything about ufos so why would that be 247 00:10:00,150 --> 00:09:58,000 well and then he says and you can find 248 00:10:02,630 --> 00:10:00,160 this transcript 249 00:10:04,470 --> 00:10:02,640 up at stephen bassett's website paradigm 250 00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:04,480 research group and maybe elsewhere on 251 00:10:07,829 --> 00:10:06,240 the internet too i i know this quote 252 00:10:09,910 --> 00:10:07,839 pretty well because i was in the 253 00:10:10,870 --> 00:10:09,920 audience i got the recording of what he 254 00:10:12,870 --> 00:10:10,880 said 255 00:10:13,990 --> 00:10:12,880 immediately typed it up and sent it off 256 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:14,000 to steve 257 00:10:17,030 --> 00:10:15,839 steve published it on his website for a 258 00:10:19,030 --> 00:10:17,040 while i thought i was going to get in 259 00:10:22,150 --> 00:10:19,040 trouble for that but 260 00:10:23,750 --> 00:10:22,160 i sent it to dr kelleher clem kelleher 261 00:10:25,829 --> 00:10:23,760 at bass 262 00:10:27,509 --> 00:10:25,839 and he forwarded it to hal and i just 263 00:10:28,949 --> 00:10:27,519 gave it as a gift here's a transcript of 264 00:10:30,790 --> 00:10:28,959 what you actually said so hal said 265 00:10:32,710 --> 00:10:30,800 something very much like 266 00:10:34,230 --> 00:10:32,720 a reason i haven't published on ufos is 267 00:10:36,230 --> 00:10:34,240 i was part of a highly classified 268 00:10:38,230 --> 00:10:36,240 program if i were to do so 269 00:10:40,550 --> 00:10:38,240 i would encounter severe punitive 270 00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:40,560 consequences from nda's 271 00:10:43,829 --> 00:10:42,480 and i haven't been able to talk about 272 00:10:45,829 --> 00:10:43,839 this but now there's some things in the 273 00:10:47,590 --> 00:10:45,839 public domain that i can talk about so 274 00:10:50,310 --> 00:10:47,600 hang on to your seats and i was blown 275 00:10:53,990 --> 00:10:50,320 away in the next half hour 276 00:10:56,230 --> 00:10:54,000 there in las vegas at that 2018 society 277 00:10:57,990 --> 00:10:56,240 of scientific exploration conference 278 00:10:59,590 --> 00:10:58,000 where he talked about the nature of meta 279 00:11:01,430 --> 00:10:59,600 materials 280 00:11:04,630 --> 00:11:01,440 and i think we're only beginning when 281 00:11:06,790 --> 00:11:04,640 you when you combine ufos and 282 00:11:08,949 --> 00:11:06,800 our true nature of life in the cosmos 283 00:11:11,269 --> 00:11:08,959 and technology this was the intersection 284 00:11:14,069 --> 00:11:11,279 of that in a profound way 285 00:11:15,750 --> 00:11:14,079 meta materials are are materials that 286 00:11:17,670 --> 00:11:15,760 are manufactured 287 00:11:19,110 --> 00:11:17,680 using extraordinary processes not 288 00:11:21,670 --> 00:11:19,120 available 289 00:11:23,829 --> 00:11:21,680 or discovered by humanity before fairly 290 00:11:25,910 --> 00:11:23,839 recently maybe a little bit further back 291 00:11:29,269 --> 00:11:25,920 in the black world 292 00:11:31,030 --> 00:11:29,279 but this layering at an atomic level of 293 00:11:32,790 --> 00:11:31,040 different fundamental elements from the 294 00:11:35,350 --> 00:11:32,800 periodic table 295 00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:35,360 and so you talked about some recovered 296 00:11:39,030 --> 00:11:37,120 material 297 00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:39,040 that was sent to our bell 298 00:11:43,750 --> 00:11:40,880 radio talk show host art bell what was 299 00:11:45,110 --> 00:11:43,760 known as arts parts back in the 90s 300 00:11:47,590 --> 00:11:45,120 and a lot of people thought this was a 301 00:11:49,030 --> 00:11:47,600 hoax and just some melted aluminum and 302 00:11:51,350 --> 00:11:49,040 alleged to have been recovered by 303 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:51,360 somebody at a crash site of some 304 00:11:56,629 --> 00:11:54,959 apparently non-human created craft 305 00:11:58,870 --> 00:11:56,639 passed down i think a son and then 306 00:12:00,310 --> 00:11:58,880 passed on to arts there's no problems in 307 00:12:01,990 --> 00:12:00,320 terms of 308 00:12:04,629 --> 00:12:02,000 being able to document where this came 309 00:12:07,590 --> 00:12:04,639 from with scientific certainty or even 310 00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,600 at the level of legal certainty 311 00:12:12,710 --> 00:12:09,839 but linda mulhal got it did an analysis 312 00:12:14,150 --> 00:12:12,720 of it in the 90s analysis continued 313 00:12:17,750 --> 00:12:14,160 and it turned out to be 314 00:12:20,790 --> 00:12:17,760 layers of busy business and magnesium 315 00:12:22,710 --> 00:12:20,800 and bismuth and magnesium in a way that 316 00:12:24,550 --> 00:12:22,720 nobody could do on earth they took it to 317 00:12:25,509 --> 00:12:24,560 various manufacturing plants national 318 00:12:26,470 --> 00:12:25,519 labs 319 00:12:28,069 --> 00:12:26,480 nobody 320 00:12:29,910 --> 00:12:28,079 could understand why somebody would want 321 00:12:31,750 --> 00:12:29,920 to do this we couldn't get bismuth and 322 00:12:33,430 --> 00:12:31,760 magnesium to adhere the way that it was 323 00:12:35,750 --> 00:12:33,440 appearing in the sample so it was a kind 324 00:12:37,670 --> 00:12:35,760 of a mystery and this is what dr puthoff 325 00:12:39,269 --> 00:12:37,680 is talking about 326 00:12:41,110 --> 00:12:39,279 at that society of scientific 327 00:12:43,430 --> 00:12:41,120 exploration meeting 328 00:12:45,670 --> 00:12:43,440 you can find videos of this speech now 329 00:12:47,829 --> 00:12:45,680 uh at the ussc website maybe it's even 330 00:12:49,670 --> 00:12:47,839 up on youtube for free i'm not sure 331 00:12:51,670 --> 00:12:49,680 but at the time we'd all signed 332 00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:51,680 non-disclosure agreements about the 333 00:12:54,790 --> 00:12:53,440 conference and i thought it was so 334 00:12:56,949 --> 00:12:54,800 important 335 00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:56,959 that i typed it up and sent it to steve 336 00:13:01,269 --> 00:12:59,040 bassett immediately and steve put it up 337 00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:01,279 on his website and and that turned out 338 00:13:05,829 --> 00:13:04,160 to be fine um the end days weren't about 339 00:13:08,389 --> 00:13:05,839 that kind of sharing it had more to do 340 00:13:10,629 --> 00:13:08,399 with people profiting off of 341 00:13:11,829 --> 00:13:10,639 things that might be said or done there 342 00:13:14,230 --> 00:13:11,839 anyhow 343 00:13:17,910 --> 00:13:14,240 i went up to hal after a speech and had 344 00:13:21,030 --> 00:13:17,920 an extraordinary conversation um 345 00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:21,040 where i said the doctor put off 346 00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:22,160 um 347 00:13:26,389 --> 00:13:23,360 you know 348 00:13:28,230 --> 00:13:26,399 i'm a hardcore libertarian 349 00:13:29,590 --> 00:13:28,240 and by the way that includes having some 350 00:13:31,750 --> 00:13:29,600 critical things to say about the 351 00:13:33,670 --> 00:13:31,760 libertarian party i'm not an unreserved 352 00:13:35,829 --> 00:13:33,680 fan of everything that the organization 353 00:13:36,870 --> 00:13:35,839 does but i am a hardcore libertarian i 354 00:13:38,629 --> 00:13:36,880 believe in 355 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:38,639 individual liberty and engaging with 356 00:13:44,310 --> 00:13:41,279 others through peaceful means education 357 00:13:46,069 --> 00:13:44,320 persuasion not force or taxation 358 00:13:48,550 --> 00:13:46,079 um and we can get into the details of 359 00:13:50,389 --> 00:13:48,560 that later but i said to how 360 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:50,399 i believe in government transparency the 361 00:13:55,189 --> 00:13:52,720 minimum government possible that's just 362 00:13:57,189 --> 00:13:55,199 who i am philosophically and i think he 363 00:13:58,949 --> 00:13:57,199 already knew that 364 00:14:01,509 --> 00:13:58,959 and i said but if i were to be read into 365 00:14:03,189 --> 00:14:01,519 this program whoever's got these meta 366 00:14:06,470 --> 00:14:03,199 materials whoever has been trying to 367 00:14:09,269 --> 00:14:06,480 reverse engineering yet whoever 368 00:14:11,030 --> 00:14:09,279 has more knowledge than than the rest of 369 00:14:12,790 --> 00:14:11,040 us about 370 00:14:16,629 --> 00:14:12,800 what actually happened 371 00:14:17,990 --> 00:14:16,639 in roswell in 47 or what we may know of 372 00:14:20,949 --> 00:14:18,000 whether we're alone in the universe or 373 00:14:22,710 --> 00:14:20,959 not if i were read into that 374 00:14:24,470 --> 00:14:22,720 you think even with my philosophical 375 00:14:27,430 --> 00:14:24,480 orientation i would agree that it's in 376 00:14:30,230 --> 00:14:27,440 the best interests of humanity 377 00:14:32,150 --> 00:14:30,240 not to disclose this information and if 378 00:14:33,750 --> 00:14:32,160 i knew what the big secret was would i 379 00:14:36,310 --> 00:14:33,760 agree with it 380 00:14:37,670 --> 00:14:36,320 i think sometimes that perhaps 381 00:14:39,430 --> 00:14:37,680 the reason 382 00:14:41,110 --> 00:14:39,440 the et's haven't landed on the white 383 00:14:43,110 --> 00:14:41,120 house lawn or 384 00:14:44,389 --> 00:14:43,120 the reason that humans who may be aware 385 00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:44,399 that there's 386 00:14:48,790 --> 00:14:47,040 non-human intelligence engaging us 387 00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:48,800 having talked about it is because 388 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:50,720 humanity right now is very much like a 389 00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:53,760 caterpillar and a christmas 390 00:14:58,230 --> 00:14:56,320 struggling to emerge as the butterfly 391 00:15:00,790 --> 00:14:58,240 as much as you might want to help that 392 00:15:02,550 --> 00:15:00,800 caterpillar emerge from that suffocating 393 00:15:05,030 --> 00:15:02,560 cocoon 394 00:15:07,110 --> 00:15:05,040 when humans do that the butterfly dies 395 00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:07,120 because it needs the struggle of 396 00:15:10,550 --> 00:15:08,880 fighting its way out of the cocoon to 397 00:15:13,030 --> 00:15:10,560 develop muscles that will allow it to 398 00:15:15,350 --> 00:15:13,040 fly as a butterfly and i wonder 399 00:15:17,430 --> 00:15:15,360 if the aliens aren't looking at us like 400 00:15:18,790 --> 00:15:17,440 that we need to leave these people alone 401 00:15:21,509 --> 00:15:18,800 in their 402 00:15:23,350 --> 00:15:21,519 nest that they've made such a mess of 403 00:15:24,949 --> 00:15:23,360 see if they can clean it up and we ache 404 00:15:27,509 --> 00:15:24,959 for them to join us as peaceful 405 00:15:29,110 --> 00:15:27,519 enlightened beings in the cosmos of 406 00:15:30,790 --> 00:15:29,120 others with that 407 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:30,800 orientation i'd like to imagine that's 408 00:15:34,710 --> 00:15:32,160 where we are now i didn't say all that 409 00:15:36,949 --> 00:15:34,720 to house so i'll back up so i said how 410 00:15:38,470 --> 00:15:36,959 if i were read into this program would i 411 00:15:41,030 --> 00:15:38,480 agree that it's a good idea to keep it 412 00:15:43,189 --> 00:15:41,040 really secret 413 00:15:44,870 --> 00:15:43,199 and he looked at the carpet and then he 414 00:15:47,430 --> 00:15:44,880 looked up at me and he said you know 415 00:15:48,949 --> 00:15:47,440 it's a really good question 416 00:15:50,949 --> 00:15:48,959 he said i don't know 417 00:15:53,350 --> 00:15:50,959 but i don't find the reasons for keeping 418 00:15:55,570 --> 00:15:53,360 it secret as compelling as the 419 00:15:58,150 --> 00:15:55,580 gatekeepers do 420 00:16:00,069 --> 00:15:58,160 [Music] 421 00:16:02,069 --> 00:16:00,079 and i was just stunned i wish i could go 422 00:16:03,749 --> 00:16:02,079 back in time and say gatekeepers who are 423 00:16:06,069 --> 00:16:03,759 the gatekeepers 424 00:16:07,829 --> 00:16:06,079 right when you ask is there an invisible 425 00:16:09,910 --> 00:16:07,839 college 426 00:16:11,670 --> 00:16:09,920 yeah i think maybe hal has bumped up 427 00:16:13,670 --> 00:16:11,680 against the edges of it 428 00:16:15,110 --> 00:16:13,680 maybe he's even inside of it to some 429 00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:15,120 degree 430 00:16:19,509 --> 00:16:17,519 i don't know but i was listening to an 431 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:19,519 interview with lou elizondo just in the 432 00:16:23,670 --> 00:16:21,360 last day 433 00:16:25,269 --> 00:16:23,680 and he's talking about 434 00:16:26,389 --> 00:16:25,279 amnesty 435 00:16:28,629 --> 00:16:26,399 for 436 00:16:29,910 --> 00:16:28,639 the group that may have 437 00:16:31,829 --> 00:16:29,920 been 438 00:16:33,110 --> 00:16:31,839 studying recovered non-human created 439 00:16:34,870 --> 00:16:33,120 technology 440 00:16:36,550 --> 00:16:34,880 and that that group stopped briefing 441 00:16:39,030 --> 00:16:36,560 congress and stopped briefing the 442 00:16:41,590 --> 00:16:39,040 executive and has gone rogue 443 00:16:43,749 --> 00:16:41,600 and that one way to get disclosure 444 00:16:46,069 --> 00:16:43,759 to get those guys to open up 445 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,079 is to offer them amnesty 446 00:16:51,590 --> 00:16:48,959 truth and reconciliation along the 447 00:16:53,670 --> 00:16:51,600 the path laid out by nelson mandela 448 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:53,680 and the way that healed uh south africa 449 00:16:57,509 --> 00:16:56,320 and i'm so i'm stunned by that 450 00:16:59,910 --> 00:16:57,519 so 451 00:17:01,749 --> 00:16:59,920 if there's no such group 452 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:01,759 that would be an extraordinary thing for 453 00:17:05,029 --> 00:17:04,079 louisando to be making up out of thin 454 00:17:08,069 --> 00:17:05,039 air 455 00:17:10,789 --> 00:17:08,079 um is there a group out there i wonder 456 00:17:14,230 --> 00:17:10,799 that knows a lot more about 457 00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:14,240 where we are in the food chain of the 458 00:17:19,350 --> 00:17:16,640 most technologically competent life in 459 00:17:20,549 --> 00:17:19,360 the cosmos that's been keeping this a 460 00:17:22,150 --> 00:17:20,559 secret 461 00:17:24,150 --> 00:17:22,160 and and do they really believe their 462 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:24,160 reasons for keeping it secret are in our 463 00:17:28,870 --> 00:17:26,959 best interests 464 00:17:31,270 --> 00:17:28,880 or are they some sort of 465 00:17:34,070 --> 00:17:31,280 uh breakaway civilization like richard 466 00:17:35,110 --> 00:17:34,080 dolan talks about that should be reigned 467 00:17:36,950 --> 00:17:35,120 back in 468 00:17:38,789 --> 00:17:36,960 i don't know i'm not close enough to any 469 00:17:41,750 --> 00:17:38,799 of that to know but i bumped up around 470 00:17:43,350 --> 00:17:41,760 the edges of it enough to say 471 00:17:45,990 --> 00:17:43,360 wow this is really interesting and there 472 00:17:48,150 --> 00:17:46,000 might might be something going on here 473 00:17:50,470 --> 00:17:48,160 worthy of my attention 474 00:17:52,470 --> 00:17:50,480 and that that then became a motivation 475 00:17:54,870 --> 00:17:52,480 for running for congress first in in 476 00:17:57,270 --> 00:17:54,880 2008 and then again in a special 477 00:17:59,029 --> 00:17:57,280 election here in utah in 2017 after 478 00:18:00,789 --> 00:17:59,039 jason chaffetz resigned right after 479 00:18:02,390 --> 00:18:00,799 getting elected 480 00:18:04,150 --> 00:18:02,400 uh cost the state about five million 481 00:18:05,590 --> 00:18:04,160 dollars i think he should have paid that 482 00:18:07,669 --> 00:18:05,600 out of pocket 483 00:18:10,870 --> 00:18:07,679 but um 484 00:18:13,190 --> 00:18:10,880 when i ran in 2008 i got ridiculing news 485 00:18:16,070 --> 00:18:13,200 coverage like the park record in in park 486 00:18:18,789 --> 00:18:16,080 city utah my hometown front page 487 00:18:22,470 --> 00:18:18,799 story immigration taxes and little green 488 00:18:24,549 --> 00:18:22,480 men libertarian with a twist joe bookman 489 00:18:27,510 --> 00:18:24,559 and it was nothing but ridicule and 490 00:18:30,310 --> 00:18:27,520 degradation ksl radio 491 00:18:32,310 --> 00:18:30,320 made fun of me 492 00:18:35,350 --> 00:18:32,320 in a light-hearted you know good humored 493 00:18:37,190 --> 00:18:35,360 way i suppose but i was in washington dc 494 00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:37,200 i announced that campaign at the 495 00:18:40,630 --> 00:18:39,600 national press club thanks to steve 496 00:18:43,029 --> 00:18:40,640 bassett 497 00:18:45,110 --> 00:18:43,039 holding a media event there after one of 498 00:18:46,789 --> 00:18:45,120 his ex conferences i'll be out forever 499 00:18:48,390 --> 00:18:46,799 grateful to steve for that i think steve 500 00:18:50,870 --> 00:18:48,400 does good work 501 00:18:52,870 --> 00:18:50,880 um so i'm in dc i announced my campaign 502 00:18:54,470 --> 00:18:52,880 i'm going to call for congress to pass 503 00:18:56,470 --> 00:18:54,480 legislation 504 00:18:59,270 --> 00:18:56,480 to protect whistleblowers you know right 505 00:19:01,510 --> 00:18:59,280 now we persecute whistleblowers um we 506 00:19:03,590 --> 00:19:01,520 intimidate them definitely 507 00:19:05,590 --> 00:19:03,600 we uh we do horrible things to people 508 00:19:07,590 --> 00:19:05,600 who suggest our government has engaged 509 00:19:09,110 --> 00:19:07,600 in criminal activity 510 00:19:11,590 --> 00:19:09,120 so i saw a path 511 00:19:13,830 --> 00:19:11,600 to healing that being congress passes 512 00:19:15,430 --> 00:19:13,840 resolutions legislation 513 00:19:17,510 --> 00:19:15,440 protecting whistleblowers on anything 514 00:19:18,630 --> 00:19:17,520 related to government waste 515 00:19:21,350 --> 00:19:18,640 fraud 516 00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:21,360 criminal activity or the e.t issue the 517 00:19:25,430 --> 00:19:24,080 et issue was the fourth of those and of 518 00:19:27,669 --> 00:19:25,440 course that's all anybody wanted to 519 00:19:28,950 --> 00:19:27,679 focus on when they wanted to make fun 520 00:19:31,510 --> 00:19:28,960 of me 521 00:19:32,789 --> 00:19:31,520 when i ran again in 2017 it was a sea 522 00:19:34,630 --> 00:19:32,799 change 523 00:19:37,029 --> 00:19:34,640 i was actually taken very fairly 524 00:19:39,350 --> 00:19:37,039 seriously 525 00:19:41,990 --> 00:19:39,360 got in seven debates got reasonable 526 00:19:43,590 --> 00:19:42,000 media coverage and um 527 00:19:45,190 --> 00:19:43,600 i developed what at least i experienced 528 00:19:47,750 --> 00:19:45,200 as a friendship with the guy who won 529 00:19:50,070 --> 00:19:47,760 that election congressman john curtis 530 00:19:52,789 --> 00:19:50,080 former mayor of provo utah now serving 531 00:19:54,230 --> 00:19:52,799 in the united states house he and i have 532 00:19:56,230 --> 00:19:54,240 continued to 533 00:19:58,230 --> 00:19:56,240 email exchange i just attended one of 534 00:19:59,669 --> 00:19:58,240 his open houses he was very kind in 535 00:20:01,029 --> 00:19:59,679 front of the entire audience there at 536 00:20:02,950 --> 00:20:01,039 the beginning of his remarks he 537 00:20:05,110 --> 00:20:02,960 acknowledged me as somebody who had run 538 00:20:07,590 --> 00:20:05,120 against him in that campaign 539 00:20:09,909 --> 00:20:07,600 i said no john we were running together 540 00:20:10,870 --> 00:20:09,919 for the same office i never run against 541 00:20:12,549 --> 00:20:10,880 anyone 542 00:20:14,549 --> 00:20:12,559 and he laughed and told the audience 543 00:20:15,510 --> 00:20:14,559 that's what i love about my libertarian 544 00:20:16,950 --> 00:20:15,520 friend 545 00:20:18,549 --> 00:20:16,960 so you know people say well i run as a 546 00:20:19,669 --> 00:20:18,559 third-party candidate well if you can 547 00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:19,679 get the attention of the guy who 548 00:20:22,789 --> 00:20:21,360 actually wins 549 00:20:24,230 --> 00:20:22,799 you can create social change without 550 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,240 winning the election if you could win 551 00:20:27,510 --> 00:20:26,640 the battle of ideas 552 00:20:30,149 --> 00:20:27,520 so 553 00:20:32,070 --> 00:20:30,159 i've rambled around a bit 554 00:20:33,669 --> 00:20:32,080 i think there is 555 00:20:35,430 --> 00:20:33,679 something fairly described as an 556 00:20:37,270 --> 00:20:35,440 individual college i think there's a 557 00:20:39,270 --> 00:20:37,280 core of it that 558 00:20:42,310 --> 00:20:39,280 perhaps has been engaged with this issue 559 00:20:45,830 --> 00:20:42,320 from the time of president truman 560 00:20:47,110 --> 00:20:45,840 i think perhaps it it went rogue 561 00:20:49,110 --> 00:20:47,120 richard dolan thinks it went 562 00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:49,120 multinational and corporate and 563 00:20:52,950 --> 00:20:50,720 underground as a way to avoid the 564 00:20:54,789 --> 00:20:52,960 freedom of information act 565 00:20:57,270 --> 00:20:54,799 maybe 566 00:20:59,430 --> 00:20:57,280 thinks there's a breakaway civilization 567 00:21:01,510 --> 00:20:59,440 give that less caduality 568 00:21:03,430 --> 00:21:01,520 others think there's a secret space 569 00:21:06,390 --> 00:21:03,440 program and we're already traveling the 570 00:21:08,549 --> 00:21:06,400 cosmos with some sort of high-tech 571 00:21:10,950 --> 00:21:08,559 anti-grav or 572 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:10,960 space-time vending machines 573 00:21:14,710 --> 00:21:12,640 i give that very low credibility but 574 00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:14,720 some people think there is such a secret 575 00:21:18,149 --> 00:21:16,559 space program i don't know what i'm 576 00:21:20,310 --> 00:21:18,159 pretty sure of though is there's a wider 577 00:21:22,149 --> 00:21:20,320 circle outside of that core that as far 578 00:21:24,470 --> 00:21:22,159 as i know i've never encountered 579 00:21:25,350 --> 00:21:24,480 people like bob bigelow and hal put off 580 00:21:28,230 --> 00:21:25,360 and 581 00:21:32,070 --> 00:21:30,070 this guy i can't pronounce his name uh 582 00:21:33,830 --> 00:21:32,080 who with com and george knapp just 583 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:33,840 published a book on the skinwalker ranch 584 00:21:37,510 --> 00:21:36,240 it's catski do you know how that name is 585 00:21:40,310 --> 00:21:37,520 pronounced yes 586 00:21:42,870 --> 00:21:40,320 uh lakatsky i believe lookowski that's 587 00:21:45,110 --> 00:21:42,880 right i mean i think these guys are not 588 00:21:46,870 --> 00:21:45,120 in the very inner circle or around that 589 00:21:49,350 --> 00:21:46,880 campfire somehow and then there's people 590 00:21:51,029 --> 00:21:49,360 like me a little further out quite a bit 591 00:21:52,870 --> 00:21:51,039 further out just sort of 592 00:21:55,350 --> 00:21:52,880 bumping into them occasionally wondering 593 00:21:57,029 --> 00:21:55,360 what the heck's going on 594 00:21:59,190 --> 00:21:57,039 john alexander 595 00:22:01,029 --> 00:21:59,200 was the host for that sse meeting in 596 00:22:02,710 --> 00:22:01,039 vegas it's his hometown he's one of i 597 00:22:03,909 --> 00:22:02,720 believe the founding members or had been 598 00:22:05,750 --> 00:22:03,919 on the board 599 00:22:07,510 --> 00:22:05,760 and part of what john arranged which was 600 00:22:10,070 --> 00:22:07,520 so extraordinary 601 00:22:13,270 --> 00:22:10,080 was a tour of bigelow aerospace 602 00:22:15,270 --> 00:22:13,280 so i got to go there um on buses from 603 00:22:16,310 --> 00:22:15,280 the convention center out to bigelow's 604 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:16,320 property 605 00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:18,480 saw the control room for genesis 1 and 606 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:20,000 genesis 2. i don't know if your 607 00:22:24,789 --> 00:22:22,080 listeners are aware but we have two 608 00:22:28,070 --> 00:22:24,799 inflatable space habitats orbiting the 609 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:28,080 earth right now neither of them occupied 610 00:22:31,270 --> 00:22:29,520 but test 611 00:22:33,270 --> 00:22:31,280 craft to see if this inflatable 612 00:22:34,870 --> 00:22:33,280 technology would be durable and could 613 00:22:36,710 --> 00:22:34,880 support life and then later bigelow 614 00:22:39,510 --> 00:22:36,720 attached one to the international space 615 00:22:42,149 --> 00:22:39,520 station glued up like a balloon 616 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,159 gives a much larger space and what they 617 00:22:46,630 --> 00:22:44,320 believe is a safer space compared to the 618 00:22:49,350 --> 00:22:46,640 tin can of of the older parts of the 619 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:49,360 space station anyway my tour guide was 620 00:22:53,029 --> 00:22:51,360 tom galler 621 00:22:55,350 --> 00:22:53,039 and 622 00:22:57,110 --> 00:22:55,360 it's just an extraordinary experience of 623 00:22:59,270 --> 00:22:57,120 seeing what they're developing for for 624 00:23:00,549 --> 00:22:59,280 human occupancy and low earth orbit 625 00:23:03,350 --> 00:23:00,559 incredible 626 00:23:05,510 --> 00:23:03,360 so i'm pretty sure bigelow might be 627 00:23:07,669 --> 00:23:05,520 around the edges of that in invisible 628 00:23:09,830 --> 00:23:07,679 college i don't know how far in or if he 629 00:23:11,750 --> 00:23:09,840 has the same questions i have 630 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:11,760 and then i'm pretty sure as i'm sure you 631 00:23:15,430 --> 00:23:13,280 are as well and anybody who looks at 632 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,440 this issue is whatever 633 00:23:20,149 --> 00:23:18,000 human beings have the greatest amount of 634 00:23:23,350 --> 00:23:20,159 knowledge on this subject 635 00:23:25,510 --> 00:23:23,360 i suspect they realize they know even 636 00:23:27,590 --> 00:23:25,520 less than we do in terms of the the 637 00:23:29,510 --> 00:23:27,600 grand questions amen imagine they're 638 00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:29,520 just left bewildered 639 00:23:33,510 --> 00:23:31,919 um having confronted whatever it is that 640 00:23:36,070 --> 00:23:33,520 they know that we we'd all like to know 641 00:23:39,510 --> 00:23:36,080 as well i i don't think there's any 642 00:23:42,549 --> 00:23:39,520 human beings on the planet who've got 643 00:23:44,470 --> 00:23:42,559 some sort of end level of answers to who 644 00:23:46,870 --> 00:23:44,480 we are why we're here what's the nature 645 00:23:49,430 --> 00:23:46,880 of reality what's real physics look like 646 00:23:50,470 --> 00:23:49,440 how do you travel the stars 647 00:23:51,669 --> 00:23:50,480 um 648 00:23:53,269 --> 00:23:51,679 uh 649 00:23:54,710 --> 00:23:53,279 the things i wonder about and i know you 650 00:23:57,029 --> 00:23:54,720 do too and that that's why i've enjoyed 651 00:23:58,470 --> 00:23:57,039 our friendship so much over the years is 652 00:24:00,789 --> 00:23:58,480 it's rare to find people to have 653 00:24:03,190 --> 00:24:00,799 conversations like this with 654 00:24:06,310 --> 00:24:03,200 because it seems to me like out of the 655 00:24:08,310 --> 00:24:06,320 seven billion people on planet earth 656 00:24:11,110 --> 00:24:08,320 close to seven billion of them are are 657 00:24:13,029 --> 00:24:11,120 more concerned about what's going on in 658 00:24:16,549 --> 00:24:13,039 hollywood or the latest 659 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:16,559 curious sex scandal or yeah the latest 660 00:24:21,590 --> 00:24:19,919 true crime story or or just 661 00:24:23,190 --> 00:24:21,600 for an awful lot of us just finding 662 00:24:24,630 --> 00:24:23,200 enough to eat so you don't go to bed 663 00:24:27,430 --> 00:24:24,640 hungry 664 00:24:28,230 --> 00:24:27,440 um so asking questions about cosmology 665 00:24:31,830 --> 00:24:28,240 and 666 00:24:33,430 --> 00:24:31,840 there's intelligent non-human life here 667 00:24:35,430 --> 00:24:33,440 whether there's recovery technology 668 00:24:37,350 --> 00:24:35,440 we've attempted to reverse engineer 669 00:24:39,430 --> 00:24:37,360 these are rare conversations not a lot 670 00:24:40,710 --> 00:24:39,440 of the planet is having them yet 671 00:24:42,390 --> 00:24:40,720 yeah 672 00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:42,400 it's extraordinary 673 00:24:46,710 --> 00:24:44,799 and you know most people are not as 674 00:24:48,310 --> 00:24:46,720 academic and scholarly in the way that 675 00:24:50,950 --> 00:24:48,320 they view this subject matter and i 676 00:24:53,029 --> 00:24:50,960 appreciate that about you although it 677 00:24:54,950 --> 00:24:53,039 may be one of the most important 678 00:24:58,149 --> 00:24:54,960 missions overall in our quest for 679 00:24:59,430 --> 00:24:58,159 answers as to our place in the universe 680 00:25:01,350 --> 00:24:59,440 in the 681 00:25:03,269 --> 00:25:01,360 incidents that you've researched you 682 00:25:05,669 --> 00:25:03,279 mentioned that sometimes these 683 00:25:06,950 --> 00:25:05,679 witnesses or experiences aren't treated 684 00:25:09,110 --> 00:25:06,960 all that well 685 00:25:11,669 --> 00:25:09,120 have you come across tales of the 686 00:25:16,950 --> 00:25:11,679 proverbial men in black and who do you 687 00:25:21,990 --> 00:25:19,750 i have no clue who they are 688 00:25:24,070 --> 00:25:22,000 and yes i have run across 689 00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:24,080 people who i know well who 690 00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:26,840 related incredible stories of having 691 00:25:31,590 --> 00:25:29,440 encountered what you might term in 692 00:25:33,269 --> 00:25:31,600 plaque and and 693 00:25:35,990 --> 00:25:33,279 the first of those stories goes oh way 694 00:25:39,350 --> 00:25:36,000 back to the 1960s 695 00:25:41,350 --> 00:25:39,360 um i i've often asked myself why am i 696 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:41,360 interested in this subject you know how 697 00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:43,200 did that come to happen 698 00:25:47,510 --> 00:25:44,720 actually 699 00:25:50,310 --> 00:25:47,520 that reporter out of cape cod his last 700 00:25:52,310 --> 00:25:50,320 name's farley dick farley 701 00:25:54,630 --> 00:25:52,320 was at the 702 00:25:56,470 --> 00:25:54,640 ex-conference press conference at the 703 00:25:58,630 --> 00:25:56,480 national press club i think a year later 704 00:26:00,470 --> 00:25:58,640 maybe 2009 705 00:26:02,470 --> 00:26:00,480 and he asked me why i was interested in 706 00:26:04,310 --> 00:26:02,480 this and i kind of fumbled around he 707 00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:04,320 says well i think you're a contactee i 708 00:26:07,269 --> 00:26:05,919 think that's what causes people to get 709 00:26:08,549 --> 00:26:07,279 interested and i thought well that's 710 00:26:10,710 --> 00:26:08,559 wacky 711 00:26:13,909 --> 00:26:10,720 i have no memory of ever having been a 712 00:26:14,789 --> 00:26:13,919 contact to you of any kind and i i have 713 00:26:17,029 --> 00:26:14,799 a 714 00:26:19,590 --> 00:26:17,039 high hurdle for 715 00:26:20,950 --> 00:26:19,600 giving credulity to people who report 716 00:26:23,269 --> 00:26:20,960 encountering 717 00:26:25,190 --> 00:26:23,279 bty for channeling the pleiadian 718 00:26:26,470 --> 00:26:25,200 galactic council and that kind of stuff 719 00:26:28,470 --> 00:26:26,480 i just 720 00:26:30,630 --> 00:26:28,480 i don't want to call it crap but it kind 721 00:26:32,710 --> 00:26:30,640 of goes into that bucket for me and i 722 00:26:34,310 --> 00:26:32,720 admit that as a bias 723 00:26:36,470 --> 00:26:34,320 i know some people 724 00:26:38,470 --> 00:26:36,480 find it very credible and helpful and 725 00:26:41,430 --> 00:26:38,480 enlightening or whatever whatever i i 726 00:26:44,070 --> 00:26:41,440 just haven't focused on that but 727 00:26:47,590 --> 00:26:44,080 dick farley's question got me wondering 728 00:26:51,590 --> 00:26:49,510 i had 729 00:26:53,350 --> 00:26:51,600 bought an rv this is going to be a long 730 00:26:55,510 --> 00:26:53,360 story but i'll try to cut it somewhat 731 00:26:56,950 --> 00:26:55,520 short i know i tend to ramble not at all 732 00:26:59,669 --> 00:26:56,960 and i'll try to get back to the point of 733 00:27:01,269 --> 00:26:59,679 the men in black i bought an rv in 1998 734 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,279 put my wife and four kids in it they 735 00:27:05,909 --> 00:27:03,840 were all little kids pre-teens 736 00:27:07,510 --> 00:27:05,919 did a tour around the country and then 737 00:27:09,990 --> 00:27:07,520 we did that again the next year and we 738 00:27:11,990 --> 00:27:10,000 went down to roswell and glen dennis and 739 00:27:14,149 --> 00:27:12,000 walter hott were still alive 740 00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:14,159 and i met them talked to glenn dennis at 741 00:27:17,510 --> 00:27:15,760 length 742 00:27:19,190 --> 00:27:17,520 he was interested in getting a smaller 743 00:27:21,590 --> 00:27:19,200 rv 744 00:27:23,590 --> 00:27:21,600 the museum there was fascinating and i 745 00:27:26,230 --> 00:27:23,600 realized something that shocked me which 746 00:27:29,990 --> 00:27:26,240 was that stan friedman 747 00:27:32,950 --> 00:27:30,000 didn't interview jesse marcel senior 748 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:32,960 i think it was 1978 749 00:27:36,230 --> 00:27:34,559 uh or maybe that's when the book was 750 00:27:37,350 --> 00:27:36,240 published 751 00:27:39,669 --> 00:27:37,360 um 752 00:27:42,389 --> 00:27:39,679 and i had been asking about 753 00:27:46,549 --> 00:27:42,399 ufos at hangar 18 of wright-patterson 754 00:27:52,710 --> 00:27:50,389 so in that museum i thought how the heck 755 00:27:55,830 --> 00:27:52,720 did i know to ask about 756 00:28:00,630 --> 00:27:55,840 recovered flying saucer hangar 18 757 00:28:05,669 --> 00:28:03,430 i was a 758 00:28:07,990 --> 00:28:05,679 sophomore in high school and i had 759 00:28:10,389 --> 00:28:08,000 entered a science fair in indiana i grew 760 00:28:12,789 --> 00:28:10,399 up just north of louisville kentucky 761 00:28:14,830 --> 00:28:12,799 and i was playing around with lasers and 762 00:28:17,830 --> 00:28:14,840 holograms in 763 00:28:19,269 --> 00:28:17,840 1974. i bought a kit 764 00:28:21,269 --> 00:28:19,279 back in those days pre-internet you 765 00:28:23,590 --> 00:28:21,279 could get these catalogs of scientific 766 00:28:25,190 --> 00:28:23,600 equipment they were just fascinating 767 00:28:27,269 --> 00:28:25,200 full of stuff for people doing science 768 00:28:30,070 --> 00:28:27,279 fair projects 769 00:28:32,070 --> 00:28:30,080 and so i ordered a ruby red laser from a 770 00:28:34,549 --> 00:28:32,080 company and i i soldered together the 771 00:28:36,870 --> 00:28:34,559 power supply and i built a mounting for 772 00:28:38,870 --> 00:28:36,880 the ruby red laser it was about the size 773 00:28:39,909 --> 00:28:38,880 of two pringle cans one on top of the 774 00:28:41,590 --> 00:28:39,919 other 775 00:28:43,590 --> 00:28:41,600 and it plugged into the wall didn't run 776 00:28:45,750 --> 00:28:43,600 on batteries 777 00:28:47,350 --> 00:28:45,760 the tube for the laser was about a 778 00:28:49,269 --> 00:28:47,360 little smaller than the size of one of 779 00:28:50,870 --> 00:28:49,279 those pringle cams 780 00:28:52,549 --> 00:28:50,880 i got to be one of the first people on 781 00:28:55,110 --> 00:28:52,559 earth to discover that you could point a 782 00:28:56,830 --> 00:28:55,120 ruby red laser dot at the floor 783 00:28:59,190 --> 00:28:56,840 and drive your cat 784 00:29:01,269 --> 00:28:59,200 nuts i was doing that 785 00:29:02,950 --> 00:29:01,279 again 1974. 786 00:29:04,549 --> 00:29:02,960 well i won the science fair got all 787 00:29:07,990 --> 00:29:04,559 sorts of awards 788 00:29:09,830 --> 00:29:08,000 got an award from the air force and 789 00:29:11,590 --> 00:29:09,840 went up to 790 00:29:13,909 --> 00:29:11,600 indianapolis 791 00:29:17,269 --> 00:29:13,919 at the same arena that's in rocket boys 792 00:29:19,350 --> 00:29:17,279 the movie from the same science fair 793 00:29:21,510 --> 00:29:19,360 10 12 years after the one that's in 794 00:29:23,510 --> 00:29:21,520 rocket boys winner von braun was not 795 00:29:24,789 --> 00:29:23,520 there for mine 796 00:29:26,389 --> 00:29:24,799 but 797 00:29:29,190 --> 00:29:26,399 part of the award for the air from the 798 00:29:33,190 --> 00:29:29,200 air force included a trip 799 00:29:36,789 --> 00:29:34,789 so off i go 800 00:29:38,389 --> 00:29:36,799 and 801 00:29:39,830 --> 00:29:38,399 i remember it very clearly because you 802 00:29:41,830 --> 00:29:39,840 know the interstate highway system was 803 00:29:43,430 --> 00:29:41,840 still pretty new and that was probably 804 00:29:45,669 --> 00:29:43,440 the long furthest i'd gone away from 805 00:29:46,870 --> 00:29:45,679 home without my mom or dad 806 00:29:52,470 --> 00:29:46,880 um 807 00:29:55,909 --> 00:29:52,480 and i had this friend in scouting who 808 00:29:57,750 --> 00:29:55,919 was an older uh advisor you know i was 809 00:29:59,350 --> 00:29:57,760 14 he was probably 10 years older in his 810 00:30:00,870 --> 00:29:59,360 20s and he said oh if you're going up 811 00:30:03,269 --> 00:30:00,880 the right path ask about the flying 812 00:30:05,350 --> 00:30:03,279 saucer in hangar 18. so i did 813 00:30:07,830 --> 00:30:05,360 quite innocently 814 00:30:10,230 --> 00:30:07,840 uh ignorantly i said to these two air 815 00:30:12,630 --> 00:30:10,240 force officers uh 816 00:30:13,990 --> 00:30:12,640 you know can i see the flying saucer 817 00:30:16,070 --> 00:30:14,000 and 818 00:30:19,269 --> 00:30:16,080 i have a very vivid memory of part of 819 00:30:21,029 --> 00:30:19,279 that trip on the highway 820 00:30:22,870 --> 00:30:21,039 uh we're in the car and we're passing a 821 00:30:24,630 --> 00:30:22,880 military convoy 822 00:30:25,830 --> 00:30:24,640 and they say something about civilian 823 00:30:27,669 --> 00:30:25,840 cars aren't supposed to get in the 824 00:30:29,110 --> 00:30:27,679 middle of a convoy 825 00:30:31,269 --> 00:30:29,120 and i said well 826 00:30:34,149 --> 00:30:31,279 if the law is not publicized how do you 827 00:30:36,230 --> 00:30:34,159 expect people to follow it 828 00:30:38,630 --> 00:30:36,240 i guess i was a libertarian even then 829 00:30:40,870 --> 00:30:38,640 because uh i read somewhere all of us 830 00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:40,880 commit about nine felonies a day mostly 831 00:30:44,310 --> 00:30:42,480 out of ignorance because the federal 832 00:30:45,750 --> 00:30:44,320 code is about as tall as the empire 833 00:30:47,110 --> 00:30:45,760 state building if you print the whole 834 00:30:48,950 --> 00:30:47,120 thing out 835 00:30:50,070 --> 00:30:48,960 but anyway i have a vivid memory of that 836 00:30:51,750 --> 00:30:50,080 i have no memory of being at 837 00:30:53,430 --> 00:30:51,760 wright-patterson air force base and then 838 00:30:54,950 --> 00:30:53,440 i have a vivid memory of them dropping 839 00:30:57,350 --> 00:30:54,960 me off at home 840 00:31:00,630 --> 00:30:57,360 when one of them says later that day it 841 00:31:02,630 --> 00:31:00,640 was night time by now says uh do i turn 842 00:31:04,389 --> 00:31:02,640 left to get to your parents house and i 843 00:31:05,509 --> 00:31:04,399 said yeah that's right he said don't 844 00:31:07,350 --> 00:31:05,519 ever say that you should say that's 845 00:31:08,950 --> 00:31:07,360 correct if you say that's right it could 846 00:31:10,710 --> 00:31:08,960 be confusing 847 00:31:12,470 --> 00:31:10,720 now why do i have these two very vivid 848 00:31:13,590 --> 00:31:12,480 memories and no memory of being a right 849 00:31:15,029 --> 00:31:13,600 path 850 00:31:16,830 --> 00:31:15,039 i don't know so after i visit the 851 00:31:18,630 --> 00:31:16,840 roswell museum 852 00:31:21,269 --> 00:31:18,640 1999 853 00:31:22,870 --> 00:31:21,279 maybe it was 98 but i think it was 99. 854 00:31:24,310 --> 00:31:22,880 um 855 00:31:25,990 --> 00:31:24,320 i started wondering about these things 856 00:31:27,509 --> 00:31:26,000 so i called my friend pete up and i said 857 00:31:29,350 --> 00:31:27,519 boy are you trying to get me killed how 858 00:31:33,190 --> 00:31:29,360 did you know about 859 00:31:36,870 --> 00:31:33,200 flying saucers at right pat 1974 860 00:31:38,470 --> 00:31:36,880 and told him the story i just told you 861 00:31:39,909 --> 00:31:38,480 and he said well he had a friend who was 862 00:31:42,230 --> 00:31:39,919 a certified 863 00:31:44,230 --> 00:31:42,240 flight instructor my friend pete was a 864 00:31:46,230 --> 00:31:44,240 private pilot this was the guy who 865 00:31:48,389 --> 00:31:46,240 taught him to fly flying buddies are 866 00:31:51,029 --> 00:31:48,399 often best friends 867 00:31:53,509 --> 00:31:51,039 so my my buddy was really interested in 868 00:31:54,870 --> 00:31:53,519 flying saucers so we went to this 869 00:31:56,310 --> 00:31:54,880 thing at the university of louisville 870 00:31:58,470 --> 00:31:56,320 with the talk and they talked about a 871 00:31:59,350 --> 00:31:58,480 flying saucer right pat so we drove up 872 00:32:01,750 --> 00:31:59,360 there 873 00:32:03,430 --> 00:32:01,760 and we tried to get into hangar 18 of 874 00:32:05,190 --> 00:32:03,440 building 18. 875 00:32:07,669 --> 00:32:05,200 and he says really funny joe for about a 876 00:32:09,750 --> 00:32:07,679 year after that i was followed around by 877 00:32:12,149 --> 00:32:09,760 guys who drove a dark sedan and wore 878 00:32:13,110 --> 00:32:12,159 dark suits and sunglasses with narrow 879 00:32:15,590 --> 00:32:13,120 ties 880 00:32:17,509 --> 00:32:15,600 if i ever met with my friend at uh 881 00:32:18,549 --> 00:32:17,519 frisch's trisha's is kind of like 882 00:32:21,509 --> 00:32:18,559 denny's 883 00:32:22,950 --> 00:32:21,519 or bob's big boy back then in the 60s so 884 00:32:24,630 --> 00:32:22,960 these other guys would show up and sit 885 00:32:25,990 --> 00:32:24,640 at the booth across from us and just 886 00:32:28,870 --> 00:32:26,000 stare at us he said it was followed 887 00:32:31,029 --> 00:32:28,880 around for about a year so that's my one 888 00:32:32,389 --> 00:32:31,039 men and black story took a long time to 889 00:32:33,430 --> 00:32:32,399 get there 890 00:32:35,110 --> 00:32:33,440 um 891 00:32:36,710 --> 00:32:35,120 so i've been really interested in what 892 00:32:39,269 --> 00:32:36,720 happened to wright-patterson air force 893 00:32:41,029 --> 00:32:39,279 base and yvonne smith has offered to 894 00:32:43,430 --> 00:32:41,039 regress me i told the story to win 895 00:32:45,269 --> 00:32:43,440 multi-house 20 years ago she said i 896 00:32:48,789 --> 00:32:45,279 should go see leo sprinkle i've never 897 00:32:50,389 --> 00:32:48,799 done that now we was in his 90s i think 898 00:32:51,990 --> 00:32:50,399 um 899 00:32:53,750 --> 00:32:52,000 but i would like to recover the memory 900 00:32:55,269 --> 00:32:53,760 of what happened there the only other 901 00:32:58,149 --> 00:32:55,279 thing that 902 00:33:00,549 --> 00:32:58,159 that relates to that is when i graduated 903 00:33:03,029 --> 00:33:00,559 from college i had an overwhelming 904 00:33:06,470 --> 00:33:03,039 desire out of nowhere 905 00:33:09,509 --> 00:33:06,480 to apply for a job with sandia labs 906 00:33:11,430 --> 00:33:09,519 and i remember going to the stacks and 907 00:33:13,909 --> 00:33:11,440 the indiana university library that 908 00:33:18,389 --> 00:33:13,919 beautiful building they have there 909 00:33:20,630 --> 00:33:18,399 and looking up um sandia labs i just 910 00:33:22,070 --> 00:33:20,640 for no reason i was looking at the rand 911 00:33:24,310 --> 00:33:22,080 corporation i had a friend who had 912 00:33:26,470 --> 00:33:24,320 gotten a job with bell labs i don't know 913 00:33:27,909 --> 00:33:26,480 where i ever heard of sandia and of 914 00:33:29,990 --> 00:33:27,919 course my undergrad degree was in 915 00:33:31,190 --> 00:33:30,000 marketing i didn't pursue a career 916 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:31,200 studying 917 00:33:34,630 --> 00:33:33,760 electronics or holograms 918 00:33:37,350 --> 00:33:34,640 but 919 00:33:39,350 --> 00:33:37,360 linda or or 920 00:33:41,029 --> 00:33:39,360 maybe it was yvonne or somebody said you 921 00:33:43,110 --> 00:33:41,039 know that was probably a hypnotic 922 00:33:45,990 --> 00:33:43,120 suggestion they gave you 923 00:33:48,149 --> 00:33:46,000 at right path yeah i'd also told this 924 00:33:49,909 --> 00:33:48,159 story to a friend of mine who 925 00:33:51,750 --> 00:33:49,919 worked in intelligence for the united 926 00:33:53,430 --> 00:33:51,760 states army and was just absolutely 927 00:33:55,269 --> 00:33:53,440 convinced that i had been clinically 928 00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:55,279 debriefed he said if you were asking 929 00:33:58,950 --> 00:33:56,480 about 930 00:34:01,190 --> 00:33:58,960 flying saucers in 1974 931 00:34:03,110 --> 00:34:01,200 they didn't have a sense of humor 932 00:34:04,870 --> 00:34:03,120 they may have pulled you aside 933 00:34:06,470 --> 00:34:04,880 given you a drug to find out how you 934 00:34:08,310 --> 00:34:06,480 need to ask about that he said the 935 00:34:10,310 --> 00:34:08,320 reason i say that is one of the common 936 00:34:13,109 --> 00:34:10,320 side effects of that drug is 937 00:34:14,470 --> 00:34:13,119 you have a very clear memory before it 938 00:34:16,310 --> 00:34:14,480 takes effect 939 00:34:19,589 --> 00:34:16,320 you have a very clear memory of after it 940 00:34:20,790 --> 00:34:19,599 wears off and nothing in between 941 00:34:21,750 --> 00:34:20,800 and 942 00:34:23,990 --> 00:34:21,760 i have 943 00:34:26,710 --> 00:34:24,000 another friend who's a psychiatrist i've 944 00:34:28,069 --> 00:34:26,720 shared this story with and he said yeah 945 00:34:30,069 --> 00:34:28,079 i know what kind of drugs they were 946 00:34:33,030 --> 00:34:30,079 using in the 60s that's 947 00:34:34,710 --> 00:34:33,040 a common kind of story so the 948 00:34:36,550 --> 00:34:34,720 memories you might have are probably 949 00:34:37,909 --> 00:34:36,560 completely unrecoverable if that's what 950 00:34:39,990 --> 00:34:37,919 they actually did and i said you give 951 00:34:41,829 --> 00:34:40,000 this story credence 952 00:34:43,430 --> 00:34:41,839 he said yeah absolutely he said i said 953 00:34:45,109 --> 00:34:43,440 you believe i was chemically debriefed 954 00:34:47,669 --> 00:34:45,119 as a high school student at wrightpat 955 00:34:49,270 --> 00:34:47,679 1974 he says i absolutely believe it and 956 00:34:52,069 --> 00:34:49,280 i said you know you believe it more than 957 00:34:53,750 --> 00:34:52,079 i do why is that he said it's because 958 00:34:55,909 --> 00:34:53,760 it's not the first time i've heard this 959 00:34:58,470 --> 00:34:55,919 story 960 00:35:02,550 --> 00:34:58,480 um linda mullen house has said she was 961 00:35:05,270 --> 00:35:02,560 aware that this invisible college 962 00:35:07,270 --> 00:35:05,280 was recruiting 963 00:35:10,069 --> 00:35:07,280 grooming 964 00:35:12,069 --> 00:35:10,079 identifying early on 965 00:35:13,349 --> 00:35:12,079 people who might join the organization 966 00:35:15,589 --> 00:35:13,359 later 967 00:35:17,750 --> 00:35:15,599 by sending people to high school science 968 00:35:19,109 --> 00:35:17,760 fairs like looking for the brightest 969 00:35:21,670 --> 00:35:19,119 minds 970 00:35:23,670 --> 00:35:21,680 uh to to kind of monitor and watch and 971 00:35:26,230 --> 00:35:23,680 maybe develop and then bring into the 972 00:35:27,270 --> 00:35:26,240 organization you know a decade later 973 00:35:30,310 --> 00:35:27,280 sure 974 00:35:33,430 --> 00:35:30,320 if that's the case i probably messed up 975 00:35:38,310 --> 00:35:35,829 i never got such an invitation 976 00:35:40,230 --> 00:35:38,320 but uh what i've just told you 977 00:35:42,310 --> 00:35:40,240 on this podcast that whole story of 978 00:35:44,470 --> 00:35:42,320 visiting right pat i've only told that 979 00:35:47,030 --> 00:35:44,480 one or two other times um something i 980 00:35:49,190 --> 00:35:47,040 had been uncomfortable talking about and 981 00:35:50,950 --> 00:35:49,200 um never shared it 982 00:35:52,870 --> 00:35:50,960 at a conference or 983 00:35:54,710 --> 00:35:52,880 other than in private conversations late 984 00:35:55,910 --> 00:35:54,720 at night so it'll be interesting to see 985 00:35:58,470 --> 00:35:55,920 if 986 00:35:59,829 --> 00:35:58,480 your podcast stirs up any reactions for 987 00:36:01,430 --> 00:35:59,839 anyone but 988 00:36:03,190 --> 00:36:01,440 i believe my friend pete when he tells 989 00:36:05,109 --> 00:36:03,200 me he was followed around by guys who 990 00:36:08,550 --> 00:36:05,119 look like classic men and black guys 991 00:36:10,950 --> 00:36:08,560 because i've known this guy since i was 992 00:36:13,030 --> 00:36:10,960 in my early teens and and he's an honest 993 00:36:14,230 --> 00:36:13,040 guy yeah 994 00:36:15,030 --> 00:36:14,240 absolutely 995 00:36:17,750 --> 00:36:15,040 and 996 00:36:19,910 --> 00:36:17,760 many of the top minds researching let's 997 00:36:21,430 --> 00:36:19,920 just call it high strangeness in general 998 00:36:24,230 --> 00:36:21,440 have gathered 999 00:36:27,030 --> 00:36:24,240 that human observers of this phenomenon 1000 00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:27,040 are receivers of sorts and as jack valet 1001 00:36:31,510 --> 00:36:28,240 i believe has mentioned there's 1002 00:36:33,670 --> 00:36:31,520 typically two types of ufo reports the 1003 00:36:35,190 --> 00:36:33,680 ones that are reported to authorities 1004 00:36:37,030 --> 00:36:35,200 and the ones that are shared with 1005 00:36:38,470 --> 00:36:37,040 trusted listeners 1006 00:36:40,069 --> 00:36:38,480 do you think 1007 00:36:42,069 --> 00:36:40,079 that some feel the need to go to 1008 00:36:44,150 --> 00:36:42,079 authorities and are these typically less 1009 00:36:46,870 --> 00:36:44,160 dogmatic individuals or less religious 1010 00:36:49,430 --> 00:36:46,880 individuals and what part if any do you 1011 00:36:53,270 --> 00:36:49,440 think religion or spirituality plays in 1012 00:36:59,109 --> 00:36:56,710 yeah i don't know um 1013 00:37:01,270 --> 00:36:59,119 you know eric van doneken 1014 00:37:04,310 --> 00:37:01,280 is somebody who's been at the contact in 1015 00:37:06,150 --> 00:37:04,320 the desert conference uh yeah frequently 1016 00:37:08,790 --> 00:37:06,160 maybe even every year 1017 00:37:11,349 --> 00:37:08,800 yeah guys in his 80s last time i saw him 1018 00:37:13,430 --> 00:37:11,359 and full of energy and when i was in 1019 00:37:15,990 --> 00:37:13,440 high school or junior high read cherry 1020 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:16,000 to the gods 1021 00:37:20,470 --> 00:37:18,000 or maybe there was a tv thing about it 1022 00:37:22,069 --> 00:37:20,480 or something so i was kind of 1023 00:37:24,069 --> 00:37:22,079 loosely aware of it but i went to 1024 00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:24,079 bondigan's presentations because one of 1025 00:37:27,190 --> 00:37:25,680 the big benefits of being a speaker at 1026 00:37:29,510 --> 00:37:27,200 these conferences is you can go to the 1027 00:37:31,750 --> 00:37:29,520 other speakers presentation 1028 00:37:33,510 --> 00:37:31,760 um which is something i did i didn't see 1029 00:37:35,030 --> 00:37:33,520 a lot of other speakers doing they were 1030 00:37:37,510 --> 00:37:35,040 mostly 1031 00:37:39,589 --> 00:37:37,520 hanging around or selling books or doing 1032 00:37:42,390 --> 00:37:39,599 other stuff but 1033 00:37:45,589 --> 00:37:42,400 i find von doneken's take fascinating 1034 00:37:48,550 --> 00:37:45,599 and he deconstructs the book of enoch 1035 00:37:51,109 --> 00:37:48,560 as not a spiritual experience with 1036 00:37:52,870 --> 00:37:51,119 the god of the old testament but of a 1037 00:37:56,470 --> 00:37:52,880 ufo encounter 1038 00:37:58,470 --> 00:37:56,480 and talks about how he's uh taken up and 1039 00:38:00,230 --> 00:37:58,480 caused to become naked and covered in a 1040 00:38:02,630 --> 00:38:00,240 holy oil 1041 00:38:04,270 --> 00:38:02,640 uh which von tanakan says it sounds more 1042 00:38:06,950 --> 00:38:04,280 like he was covered in some sort of 1043 00:38:08,470 --> 00:38:06,960 anti-bacterial soap 1044 00:38:09,750 --> 00:38:08,480 and then given a view of the earth from 1045 00:38:12,470 --> 00:38:09,760 the heavens 1046 00:38:14,870 --> 00:38:12,480 um it's a fascinating story ezekiel the 1047 00:38:17,349 --> 00:38:14,880 wheel within wheels instead of flying 1048 00:38:19,829 --> 00:38:17,359 saucers spinning 1049 00:38:22,069 --> 00:38:19,839 you know some um some think that these 1050 00:38:22,950 --> 00:38:22,079 lenticular craft 1051 00:38:25,270 --> 00:38:22,960 uh 1052 00:38:27,270 --> 00:38:25,280 are able to to 1053 00:38:29,670 --> 00:38:27,280 do what they do with a propulsion system 1054 00:38:31,430 --> 00:38:29,680 that maybe involves spinning mercury at 1055 00:38:32,390 --> 00:38:31,440 a high speed around the edges of the 1056 00:38:34,710 --> 00:38:32,400 craft 1057 00:38:37,430 --> 00:38:34,720 some sort of inner tube like thing full 1058 00:38:41,510 --> 00:38:37,440 of spinning maybe magnetized electrified 1059 00:38:44,710 --> 00:38:43,349 wheel within wheel and ezekiel is that 1060 00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:44,720 what he's trying to talk about so 1061 00:38:48,390 --> 00:38:46,640 there's this idea that maybe all of 1062 00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:48,400 religion 1063 00:38:53,030 --> 00:38:51,839 uh is a misperception of encounters 1064 00:38:55,109 --> 00:38:53,040 with 1065 00:38:57,109 --> 00:38:55,119 biological life that evolved somewhere 1066 00:38:58,470 --> 00:38:57,119 else developed the technology and flew 1067 00:39:01,589 --> 00:38:58,480 here 1068 00:39:04,310 --> 00:39:01,599 i don't know right uh buddhism boy that

00:39:11,030 --> 00:39:09,280 the faculty at indiana university i 1073 00:39:12,390 --> 00:39:11,040 developed a friendship with 1074 00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:12,400 norbu 1075 00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:15,200 the older brother of the 1076 00:39:19,990 --> 00:39:17,920 buddha of compassion the dalai lama 1077 00:39:23,270 --> 00:39:20,000 uh norbu was the 1078 00:39:26,390 --> 00:39:23,280 head of the kumbum monastery in tibet 1079 00:39:28,550 --> 00:39:26,400 he was studying there when he was 1080 00:39:29,750 --> 00:39:28,560 15 when he was 17 his younger brother 1081 00:39:31,750 --> 00:39:29,760 was born 1082 00:39:35,030 --> 00:39:31,760 and then identified as the reincarnation 1083 00:39:37,990 --> 00:39:35,040 of the buddha of compassion and when uh 1084 00:39:39,990 --> 00:39:38,000 when the dalai lama was about 15 or 16 1085 00:39:43,030 --> 00:39:40,000 the chinese came and norbu was 1086 00:39:45,510 --> 00:39:43,040 imprisoned and threatened with death 1087 00:39:48,069 --> 00:39:45,520 unless he would go to wasa and kill his 1088 00:39:49,510 --> 00:39:48,079 younger brother and he lied and said 1089 00:39:51,030 --> 00:39:49,520 yeah i'll do that so that he could 1090 00:39:53,109 --> 00:39:51,040 regain his freedom 1091 00:39:55,190 --> 00:39:53,119 by his religious standards in the moment 1092 00:39:58,470 --> 00:39:55,200 he told his first lie in his entire 1093 00:40:01,990 --> 00:39:58,480 lifetime he lost his reincarnation 1094 00:40:03,750 --> 00:40:02,000 as the head of this monastery but he got 1095 00:40:07,109 --> 00:40:03,760 to lawson told his younger brother we've 1096 00:40:10,069 --> 00:40:08,870 and 1097 00:40:12,069 --> 00:40:10,079 his younger brother said no i'm going to 1098 00:40:14,150 --> 00:40:12,079 stay he was going through the process of 1099 00:40:16,630 --> 00:40:14,160 all the ceremonies involved with being 1100 00:40:19,349 --> 00:40:16,640 fully vested as the dalai lama 1101 00:40:21,510 -->

bible-believing church 1268 00:46:30,069 --> 00:46:26,480 [Music] 1269 00:46:32,390 --> 00:46:30,079 so yeah here you have a guy who was 1270 00:46:34,470 --> 00:46:32,400 on track to fly on a shuttle

apparently like 1274 00:46:42,550 --> 00:46:39,920 what's in the nimitz videos 1275 00:46:46,150 --> 00:46:42,560 and his reaction to all that is don't 1276 00:46:48,470 --> 00:46:46,160 focus on all that get right with god 1277 00:46:50,870 --> 00:46:48,480 interest so that's my story about the 1278 00:46:52,230 --> 00:46:50,880 connection between ufos and religion i'm 1279 00:46:53,750 --> 00:46:52,240 not sure if that answered your question 1280 00:46:55,349 --> 00:46:53,760 you could try answering it again i think 1281 00:46:57,589 --> 00:46:55,359 i forgot what it was 1282 00:46:59,910 --> 00:46:57,599 definitely does i think it does and you 1283 00:47:02,870 --> 00:46:59,920 do find a lot of these official 1284 00:47:05,589 --> 00:47:02,880 individuals are quite religious in some 1285 00:47:08,790 --> 00:47:05,599 uh circumstances and you've had the 1286 00:47:10,470 --> 00:47:08,800 pleasure of hearing uh for various ufo 1287 00:47:12,069 --> 00:47:10,480 reports under a variety of different 1288 00:47:14,309 --> 00:47:12,079 circumstances 1289 00:47:17,270 --> 00:47:14,319 and do you feel that they all have 1290 00:47:21,270 --> 00:47:17,280 something in common or do they vary as 1291 00:47:24,950 --> 00:47:21,280 much as the participant observers 1292 00:47:33,910 --> 00:47:27,349 i consider a lot of what people have to 1293 00:47:37,510 --> 00:47:35,349 you know there's a prominent researcher 1294 00:47:39,750 --> 00:47:37,520 whose name i won't mention who i find 1295 00:47:41,030 --> 00:47:39,760 lacking in credibility claims they've 1296 00:47:44,710 --> 00:47:41,040 encountered 1297 00:47:48,150 --> 00:47:46,390 at various mountain ranges actually 1298 00:47:50,710 --> 00:47:48,160 there's two of those that come to mind 1299 00:47:52,549 --> 00:47:50,720 they tell the same similar story i was 1300 00:47:55,109 --> 00:47:52,559 with one of them 1301 00:47:57,430 --> 00:47:55,119 at um 1302 00:47:59,829 --> 00:47:57,440 near the great sand dunes national park 1303 00:48:00,630 --> 00:47:59,839 and i just found it to be a load of crap 1304 00:48:02,470 --> 00:48:00,640 uh 1305 00:48:03,990 --> 00:48:02,480 i'm sorry and then the other one's out 1306 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:04,000 at mount shasta 1307 00:48:08,950 --> 00:48:06,480 and so okay so stories that i find to be 1308 00:48:11,270 --> 00:48:08,960 made up not credible i need to chuck all 1309 00:48:13,430 --> 00:48:11,280 those off to the side 1310 00:48:16,230 --> 00:48:13,440 so i'll rephrase your question a bit 1311 00:48:18,309 --> 00:48:16,240 among the stories that i find credible 1312 00:48:20,390 --> 00:48:18,319 or at least worthy of further study 1313 00:48:23,430 --> 00:48:20,400 there you go yeah 1314 00:48:26,630 --> 00:48:23,440 or seemingly hard to fake 1315 00:48:29,030 --> 00:48:26,640 um is there commonality there 1316 00:48:31,670 --> 00:48:29,040 yeah um 1317 00:48:34,150 --> 00:48:31,680 i haven't really put that 1318 00:48:36,069 --> 00:48:34,160 into any kind of formal analysis but the 1319 00:48:37,829 --> 00:48:36,079 the the 1320 00:48:40,150 --> 00:48:37,839 the ones i find credible that come to 1321 00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:40,160 mind are first of all travis walton 1322 00:48:44,230 --> 00:48:41,760 jennifer stein's done a wonderful 1323 00:48:46,870 --> 00:48:44,240 documentary called travis i forget the 1324 00:48:49,510 --> 00:48:46,880 subtitle something like the true story 1325 00:48:52,230 --> 00:48:49,520 um i've met travis a dozen times over 1326 00:48:53,589 --> 00:48:52,240 the years if that guy's made this up as 1327 00:48:56,470 --> 00:48:53,599 some story 1328 00:48:58,870 --> 00:48:56,480 uh yeah he deserves an oscar 1329 00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:58,880 he's been totally consistent he's not 1330 00:49:03,270 --> 00:49:01,040 been out apparently to make any money at 1331 00:49:05,829 --> 00:49:03,280 it or seek any fame at it if anything it 1332 00:49:07,589 --> 00:49:05,839 it kind of ruined his life 1333 00:49:09,670 --> 00:49:07,599 destroyed a lot of friendships and 1334 00:49:11,270 --> 00:49:09,680 relationships even his own family among 1335 00:49:12,710 --> 00:49:11,280 those who believed him and among those 1336 00:49:14,549 --> 00:49:12,720 who still believed maybe it was all some 1337 00:49:16,150 --> 00:49:14,559 sort of hoax 1338 00:49:17,990 --> 00:49:16,160 but what jennifer uncovered in her 1339 00:49:20,069 --> 00:49:18,000 documentary was that the sheriff at the 1340 00:49:21,670 --> 00:49:20,079 time who thought his logging buddies had 1341 00:49:23,589 --> 00:49:21,680 committed murder 1342 00:49:25,510 --> 00:49:23,599 and you know treated them that way as 1343 00:49:27,910 --> 00:49:25,520 they did the investigation 1344 00:49:29,270 --> 00:49:27,920 uh later came out and said you know 1345 00:49:31,030 --> 00:49:29,280 i couldn't believe they all passed the 1346 00:49:32,390 --> 00:49:31,040 lie detector test now there's one guy 1347 00:49:33,910 --> 00:49:32,400 that had some issues because he had a 1348 00:49:35,510 --> 00:49:33,920 warrant he was using an assumed name 1349 00:49:36,630 --> 00:49:35,520 that had nothing to do with travis's 1350 00:49:38,309 --> 00:49:36,640 experience 1351 00:49:40,230 --> 00:49:38,319 that they saw this 1352 00:49:41,829 --> 00:49:40,240 clearly non-human created advanced 1353 00:49:45,109 --> 00:49:41,839 technology craft 1354 00:49:46,790 --> 00:49:45,119 saw travis somehow 1355 00:49:48,549 --> 00:49:46,800 negatively impacted by some sort of 1356 00:49:49,910 --> 00:49:48,559 discharge that went running away in 1357 00:49:50,870 --> 00:49:49,920 their vehicle that came back and he was 1358 00:49:53,109 --> 00:49:50,880 gone 1359 00:49:54,790 --> 00:49:53,119 and travis reports having about an 1360 00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:54,800 hour's worth of memories of being on a 1361 00:49:57,670 --> 00:49:55,680 ship 1362 00:49:59,750 --> 00:49:57,680 and and running down a circular hallway 1363 00:50:01,829 --> 00:49:59,760 and coming off the ship to finding out 1364 00:50:04,710 --> 00:50:01,839 that he was in a ship on a hangar with 1365 00:50:05,670 --> 00:50:04,720 other ships in this huge crowd 1366 00:50:08,309 --> 00:50:05,680 you know 1367 00:50:10,230 --> 00:50:08,319 bigger than a flying walmart 1368 00:50:12,549 --> 00:50:10,240 uh and then lost consciousness got 1369 00:50:14,549 --> 00:50:12,559 returned five days later that is a 1370 00:50:15,829 --> 00:50:14,559 fascinating story 1371 00:50:18,710 --> 00:50:15,839 um 1372 00:50:20,790 --> 00:50:18,720 he's not revealed publicly the exact 1373 00:50:22,790 --> 00:50:20,800 gps coordinates of of where this 1374 00:50:24,549 --> 00:50:22,800 occurred in the shallow forest i've 1375 00:50:26,309 --> 00:50:24,559 driven through there it's one creepy 1376 00:50:30,150 --> 00:50:26,319 place 1377 00:50:32,390 --> 00:50:30,160 dirt roads my little rb van 1378 00:50:34,470 --> 00:50:32,400 but travis told me and i think this this 1379 00:50:35,750 --> 00:50:34,480 now has been studied and maybe 1380 00:50:37,829 --> 00:50:35,760 eventually this will be a site that's 1381 00:50:39,670 --> 00:50:37,839 easy for people to visit but it's 1382 00:50:42,230 --> 00:50:39,680 overgrown and changed a lot 1383 00:50:43,510 --> 00:50:42,240 the tree rings in the spot where he says 1384 00:50:46,390 --> 00:50:43,520 this happened 1385 00:50:48,470 --> 00:50:46,400 and and jennifer covers this in the film 1386 00:50:50,549 --> 00:50:48,480 there's a growth pattern toward the 1387 00:50:53,270 --> 00:50:50,559 center of this open space where he says 1388 00:50:55,829 --> 00:50:53,280 this happened that nobody can explain 1389 00:50:57,670 --> 00:50:55,839 why would trees grow more in a direction 1390 00:50:59,270 --> 00:50:57,680 toward where this beam of light seemed 1391 00:51:01,829 --> 00:50:59,280 to hit trap i don't know 1392 00:51:03,510 --> 00:51:01,839 the betty and barney hill story right 1393 00:51:05,670 --> 00:51:03,520 why would an interracial couple in the 1394 00:51:09,109 --> 00:51:05,680 1960s want to draw attention to 1395 00:51:11,030 --> 00:51:09,119 themselves by telling a ufo story 1396 00:51:13,109 --> 00:51:11,040 i don't know i find it more likely to 1397 00:51:14,390 --> 00:51:13,119 believe something happened to them i 1398 00:51:15,910 --> 00:51:14,400 contacted 1399 00:51:17,670 --> 00:51:15,920 betty marsden 1400 00:51:19,750 --> 00:51:17,680 stan friedman hooked me up with her and

extraordinary claims with no evidence to 1432 00:52:17,589 --> 00:52:15,680 say that theirs is the only view which 1433 00:52:19,750 --> 00:52:17,599 is correct and everybody else is somehow 1434

1519 00:55:23,190 --> 00:55:20,799 a why 1520 00:55:23,990 --> 00:55:23,200 and then i've presented on this at ssc 1521 00:55:25,910 --> 00:55:24,000 and other 1522 00:55:28,549 --> 00:55:25,920

00:57:27,430 --> 00:57:26,319 about 2001 1581 00:57:29,270 --> 00:57:27,440 um 1582 00:57:30,870 --> 00:57:29,280 i'm pretty much an unreserved fan of 1583 00:57:31,670 --> 00:57:30,880 what he was

there's more than a few fibers 1596 00:57:58,950 --> 00:57:56,559 of truth what gru did to get people on 1597 00:58:00,230 --> 00:57:58,960 video and sign affidavits and get 1598 00:58:03,750 --> 00:58:00,240 witnesses to come out from the 1599 00:58:06,230 --> 00:58:05,430 yeah i don't have a lot of criticism of 1600 00:58:07,349 --> 00:58:06,240 that 1601 00:58:10,230 --> 00:58:07,359 charging 1602 00:58:12,069 --> 00:58:10,240 multi thousands of dollars for exclusive 1603 00:58:14,150 --> 00:58:12,079 events out in the desert with some sort 1604 00:58:16,069 --> 00:58:14,160 of at least implied promise that you're 1605 00:58:17,349 --> 00:58:16,079 going to need an e.t 1606 00:58:18,870 --> 00:58:17,359 wow 1607 00:58:21,109 --> 00:58:18,880 one of the meditations we did in 1608 00:58:23,030 --> 00:58:21,119 crestone 1609 00:58:25,510 --> 00:58:23,040 the good doctor said oh we're now on the 1610 00:58:28,630 --> 00:58:25,520 bridge of a partially materialized craft 1611 00:58:30,950 --> 00:58:28,640 look there's the captain's chair 1612 00:58:32,870 --> 00:58:30,960 i thought they have chairs they have 1613 00:58:35,030 --> 00:58:32,880 captains 1614 00:58:36,230 --> 00:58:35,040 and it was just like a warm breeze and 1615 00:58:38,069 --> 00:58:36,240 if you've been out in the desert at 1616 00:58:39,910 --> 00:58:38,079 night there's a mixture of cool and warm

has 1623 00:58:56,630 --> 00:58:54,640 something in common i think that i think 1624 00:58:59,190 --> 00:58:56,640 that you need to use your own judgment 1625 00:59:01,990 --> 00:58:59,200 the mind god gave you 1626 00:59:06,549 --> 00:59:02,000 and be discerning because 1627 00:59:09,670 --> 00:59:06,559 whether it's religion or politics or 1628 00:59:11,190 --> 00:59:09,680 science uh i know an academe um you know 1629 00:59:13,270 --> 00:59:11,200 there was a recent study that showed 1630 00:59:15,190 --> 00:59:13,280 something like at least a third of what 1631 00:59:17,270 --> 00:59:15,200 was published in the journal the 1632 00:59:19,430 --> 00:59:17,280 american psychological association was 1633 00:59:21,510 --> 00:59:19,440 based on fabricated data 1634 00:59:23,910 --> 00:59:21,520 people just made up out of thin air in 1635 00:59:25,190 --> 00:59:23,920 order to get a publication for tenure 1636 00:59:27,430 --> 00:59:25,200 they went back and looked at this stuff 1637 00:59:29,510 --> 00:59:27,440 and in religion and in every field there 1638 00:59:31,990 --> 00:59:29,520 are hoaxers there are people who can 1639 00:59:33,829 --> 00:59:32,000 make an easy buck but the jim and tammy 1640 00:59:36,789 --> 00:59:33,839 faye bakers of the world if you want 1641 00:59:38,309 --> 00:59:36,799 with their heritage usa theme parks that 1642 00:59:41,349

similar people in the 1648 00:59:52,950 --> 00:59:50,240 ufo field 1649 00:59:55,030 --> 00:59:52,960 and uh any you know and you get flack 1650 00:59:56,710 --> 00:59:55,040 for criticizing them i

people coming up 1657 01:00:10,390 --> 01:00:08,480 and telling me i was a being of darkness 1658 01:00:11,589 --> 01:00:10,400 because i was criticizing their 1659 01:00:13,910 --> 01:00:11,599 their

01:00:36,880 don't lie about this 1673 01:00:42,069 --> 01:00:39,599 this is the most important issue 1674 01:00:44,789 --> 01:00:42,079 i i think for the future of humanity if 1675 01:00:46,470 --> 01:00:44,799 not our past as well which is who are we 1676 01:00:48,950 --> 01:00:46,480 why we are here what's our place in the 1677 01:00:50,789 --> 01:00:48,960 cosmos and if you're going to make up 1678 01:00:54,150 --> 01:00:50,799 something that you say some advanced 1679 01:00:55,990 --> 01:00:54,160 being and some galactic council told you 1680 01:00:58,390 --> 01:00:56,000 boy when the

there ought to be a special place 1684 01:01:07,030 --> 01:01:05,200 in hell for people who mislead other 1685 01:01:09,349 --> 01:01:07,040 human beings just to 1686 01:01:10,870 --> 01:01:09,359 i don't know get a sense of ego out of 1687 01:01:12,069 --> 01:01:10,880 it or get the dollars out of it or 1688 01:01:14,549 --> 01:01:12,079 whatever 1689 01:01:16,309 --> 01:01:14,559 yeah what's your experience about that 1690 01:01:17,750 --> 01:01:16,319 ryan you have any comments on what i've 1691 01:01:20,069 --> 01:01:17,760 just said is this going to create 1692 01:01:21,190 --> 01:01:20,079 controversy among your listener base i 1693 01:01:23,270 --> 01:01:21,200 don't know 1694 01:01:25,030 --> 01:01:23,280 frankly i don't care but i am interested 1695 01:01:27,510 --> 01:01:25,040 in what you think of it all 1696 01:01:28,950 --> 01:01:27,520 i think you're right there seems to be a 1697 01:01:31,190 --> 01:01:28,960 wealthy 1698 01:01:34,230 --> 01:01:31,200 corporate cabal in just about every 1699 01:01:36,309 --> 01:01:34,240 organization and unfortunately the ufo 1700 01:01:39,270 --> 01:01:36,319 field is not 1701 01:01:40,470 --> 01:01:39,280 insulated from that and um 1702 01:01:41,510 --> 01:01:40,480 as as 1703 01:01:44,309 --> 01:01:41,520 much as 1704 01:01:46,630 --> 01:01:44,319 there's so many rave reviews for ce5 1705 01:01:48,710 --> 01:01:46,640 protocols and this and that the other 1706 01:01:51,430 --> 01:01:48,720 thing but then again i mean it really is 1707 01:01:52,390 --> 01:01:51,440 just a form of ritual magic so to speak 1708 01:01:59,990 --> 01:01:52,400 to 1709 01:02:00,870 --> 01:02:00,000 and i i've witnessed what 1710 01:02:03,109 --> 01:02:00,880 i guess 1711 01:02:04,710 --> 01:02:03,119 really through other parties i've never 1712 01:02:07,829 --> 01:02:04,720 had any personal 1713 01:02:09,750 --> 01:02:07,839 interaction except just speaking to the 1714 01:02:12,870 --> 01:02:09,760 good doctor over the phone 1715 01:02:15,670 --> 01:02:12,880 but um personally the what i've heard 1716 01:02:18,630 --> 01:02:15,680 from others are similar 1717 01:02:20,470 --> 01:02:18,640 tales of um 1718 01:02:22,630 --> 01:02:20,480 i i don't know that just over 1719 01:02:25,190 --> 01:02:22,640 overcompensation 1720 01:02:27,829 --> 01:02:25,200 for something that they thought they 1721 01:02:30,069 --> 01:02:27,839 were going to play a part in 1722 01:02:32,470 --> 01:02:30,079 yeah and i want to distinguish the 1723 01:02:35,510 --> 01:02:32,480 protocols and the value of meditation 1724 01:02:37,430 --> 01:02:35,520 and seeking to be peaceful and open a 1725 01:02:39,430 --> 01:02:37,440 invitation for whatever life is out 1726 01:02:41,430 --> 01:02:39,440 there to visit from 1727 01:02:44,630 --> 01:02:41,440 what i just described being lied to at 1728 01:02:47,349 --> 01:02:44,640 the hearings in washington dc 1729 01:02:53,029 --> 01:02:49,670 every human being probably is a mixed 1730 01:02:55,349 --> 01:02:53,039 bag i i know i am um 1731 01:02:57,109 --> 01:02:55,359 uh maybe i'm too judgmental maybe i go 1732 01:03:00,230 --> 01:02:57,119 too quickly to anger 1733 01:03:02,470 --> 01:03:00,240 i'm sure i do both of those things um 1734 01:03:05,190 --> 01:03:02,480 but i seek to be that 1735 01:03:07,670 --> 01:03:05,200 advocate for radical voluntarism and 1736 01:03:09,910 --> 01:03:07,680 truth-telling and the value of the 1737 01:03:11,270 --> 01:03:09,920 scientific method if you will 1738 01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:11,280 um 1739 01:03:15,190 --> 01:03:13,200 and the ce5 protocols are not 1740 01:03:18,710 --> 01:03:15,200 trademarked or copyrighted or the 1741 01:03:21,750 --> 01:03:18,720 exclusive domain of of any one given 1742 01:03:26,160 --> 01:03:24,789 and and they're kind of discoverable 1743 01:03:27,430 --> 01:03:26,170 naturally as well 1744 01:03:28,710 --> 01:03:27,440 [Music] 1745 01:03:30,309 --> 01:03:28,720 i think you know i've spent a fair 1746 01:03:33,029 --> 01:03:30,319 amount of time camping out in the 1747 01:03:34,390 --> 01:03:33,039 deserts of utah oh yes and i'll tell you 1748 01:03:35,670 --> 01:03:34,400 what 1749 01:03:38,069 --> 01:03:35,680 if you want to develop that kind of 1750 01:03:40,870 --> 01:03:38,079 orientation 1751 01:03:43,750 --> 01:03:40,880 toward contact or wonder about our place 1752 01:03:45,750 --> 01:03:43,760 on the planet get out west or somewhere 1753 01:03:49,430 --> 01:03:45,760 with low humidity get up at a high 1754 01:03:52,710 --> 01:03:49,440 altitude get into a desert environment 1755 01:03:54,870 --> 01:03:52,720 and spend three or four nights alone 1756 01:03:57,990 --> 01:03:54,880 looking at the sky 1757 01:04:00,470 --> 01:03:58,000 and and the idea of what sometimes is 1758 01:04:02,710 --> 01:04:00,480 presented as ce5 protocols 1759 01:04:05,829 --> 01:04:02,720 just becomes a natural way of being 1760 01:04:07,910 --> 01:04:05,839 after a couple of days in the desert 1761 01:04:10,950 --> 01:04:07,920 i think there's great value in that one 1762 01:04:13,430 --> 01:04:10,960 one of my good friends 1763 01:04:15,190 --> 01:04:13,440 as a now retired from having worked with 1764 01:04:16,309 --> 01:04:15,200 an organization called the anasazi 1765 01:04:18,549 --> 01:04:16,319 program 1766 01:04:20,630 --> 01:04:18,559 down in arizona where they take troubled 1767 01:04:22,069 --> 01:04:20,640 teenagers mostly 1768 01:04:24,470 --> 01:04:22,079 uh some older 1769 01:04:26,950 --> 01:04:24,480 uh out into the woods 1770 01:04:29,430 --> 01:04:26,960 of arizona for maybe a month and they 1771 01:04:31,510 --> 01:04:29,440 live pretty much like the anasazi 1772 01:04:33,670 --> 01:04:31,520 indians lived just getting in touch with 1773 01:04:35,589 --> 01:04:33,680 nature excellent and they have a 1774 01:04:37,910 --> 01:04:35,599 remarkable success rate from what i've 1775 01:04:39,589 --> 01:04:37,920 read been reported to me at least 1776 01:04:40,390 --> 01:04:39,599 in terms of these troubled kids coming 1777 01:04:42,630 --> 01:04:40,400 back 1778 01:04:44,309 --> 01:04:42,640 into their families and having a 1779 01:04:48,390 --> 01:04:44,319 completely different orientation toward 1780 01:04:50,309 --> 01:04:48,400 a desire to cut themselves or consume 1781 01:04:52,309 --> 01:04:50,319 drugs that impact them negatively or 1782 01:04:53,990 --> 01:04:52,319 alcohol 1783 01:04:55,510 --> 01:04:54,000 and get a new passion for life and 1784 01:04:57,589 --> 01:04:55,520 making a positive difference in the 1785 01:04:59,029 --> 01:04:57,599 world simply from having lived out in 1786 01:05:00,230 --> 01:04:59,039 nature 1787 01:05:03,750 --> 01:05:00,240 um 1788 01:05:06,230 --> 01:05:03,760 you know i think maybe if if we uh 1789 01:05:09,029 --> 01:05:06,240 if we could all do that um 1790 01:05:10,789 --> 01:05:09,039 it would diminish the desire among us to 1791 01:05:12,630 --> 01:05:10,799 go to war with each other to fight over 1792 01:05:13,990 --> 01:05:12,640 geographic territory or limited 1793 01:05:15,990 --> 01:05:14,000 resources or 1794 01:05:18,470 --> 01:05:16,000 political differences or whatever we 1795 01:05:19,829 --> 01:05:18,480 like to fight over if we just get out 1796 01:05:22,710 --> 01:05:19,839 and and do what these kids do in the 1797 01:05:25,270 --> 01:05:22,720 anasazi program or just get out 1798 01:05:27,270 --> 01:05:25,280 and do the four or five days um in a 1799 01:05:29,349 --> 01:05:27,280 desert setting you don't have to spend 1800 01:05:30,710 --> 01:05:29,359 thousands of dollars to do that 1801 01:05:32,309 --> 01:05:30,720 right i think there might be value in 1802 01:05:33,910 --> 01:05:32,319 doing it alone too rather than with a 1803 01:05:35,349 --> 01:05:33,920 group of people and certainly i think 1804 01:05:36,710 --> 01:05:35,359 there's great value in doing it without 1805 01:05:38,309 --> 01:05:36,720 a quote leader 1806 01:05:39,670 --> 01:05:38,319 he's telling you 1807 01:05:41,829 --> 01:05:39,680 whatever 1808 01:05:43,750 --> 01:05:41,839 um yeah 1809 01:05:46,069 --> 01:05:43,760 and then if we if we were to do that 1810 01:05:48,150 --> 01:05:46,079 maybe maybe the planet would be a place 1811 01:05:49,190 --> 01:05:48,160 that some enlightened life might like to 1812 01:05:51,670 --> 01:05:49,200 drop by 1813 01:05:53,829 --> 01:05:51,680 yeah i remember stan friedman god bless 1814 01:05:55,430 --> 01:05:53,839 him and i just it's tragic he didn't 1815 01:05:56,870 --> 01:05:55,440 live long enough to see disclosure 1816 01:05:58,950 --> 01:05:56,880 happen or even 1817 01:06:03,029 --> 01:05:58,960 what's happened last couple years 1818 01:06:07,029 --> 01:06:04,950 brought you know a seriousness to the 1819 01:06:09,190 --> 01:06:07,039 field back in the 70s that it really 1820 01:06:10,069 --> 01:06:09,200 wasn't ex didn't exist and he was doing 1821 01:06:14,230 --> 01:06:10,079 the 1822 01:06:14,870 --> 01:06:14,240 presidential libraries and repositories 1823 01:06:18,549 --> 01:06:14,880 and 1824 01:06:21,430 --> 01:06:18,559 somebody say you need to meet jessie 1825 01:06:23,589 --> 01:06:21,440 marcel without that happening the whole 1826 01:06:25,510 --> 01:06:23,599 roswell story probably never would have 1827 01:06:27,990 --> 01:06:25,520 opened up you know a debt of gratitude 1828 01:06:29,589 --> 01:06:28,000 to stamp but stan used to say it at 1829 01:06:32,230 --> 01:06:29,599 conferences 1830 01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:32,240 you know imagine you're an advanced et 1831 01:06:35,510 --> 01:06:34,000 you looking at planet earth maybe you're 1832 01:06:37,349 --> 01:06:35,520 a junior high school student whose 1833 01:06:40,230 --> 01:06:37,359 project was to go out in the boonies and 1834 01:06:42,470 --> 01:06:40,240 write a report on the savages some 1835 01:06:44,230 --> 01:06:42,480 planet on the outer edge of the 1836 01:06:46,230 --> 01:06:44,240 galaxy 1837 01:06:48,630 --> 01:06:46,240 how would your report read yeah 1838 01:06:50,390 --> 01:06:48,640 observation of life on earth human 1839 01:06:53,670 --> 01:06:50,400 beings dominant 1840 01:06:56,390 --> 01:06:53,680 creature uh primary uh activity killing 1841 01:06:58,150 --> 01:06:56,400 each other primary economic activity 1842 01:06:59,589 --> 01:06:58,160 developing ever more lethal ways of 1843 01:07:01,510 --> 01:06:59,599 killing each other 1844 01:07:02,710 --> 01:07:01,520 primary social activity watching 1845 01:07:03,589 --> 01:07:02,720 horrible 1846 01:07:05,750 --> 01:07:03,599 uh 1847 01:07:08,470 --> 01:07:05,760 fiction and films and movies about the 1848 01:07:12,069 -->

travel i've been to china and 1861 01:07:39,670 --> 01:07:38,240 mongolia 1862 01:07:40,829 --> 01:07:39,680 asia i want to get to europe i haven't 1863 01:07:43,349 --> 01:07:40,839 done that 1864 01:07:45,990 --> 01:07:43,359 um i've seen most of america though i 1865 01:07:47,670 --> 01:07:46,000 have that rv with 360 000 miles on it 1866 01:07:48,789 --> 01:07:47,680 now i've been in every one of the 48 1867 01:07:52,230 --> 01:07:48,799 states 1868 01:07:55,109 --> 01:07:52,240 this is a beautiful planet and 1869 01:07:57,430 --> 01:07:55,119 i was really struck by william shatner's 1870 01:08:00,309 --> 01:07:57,440 coming back down from his 10 minutes at 1871 01:08:01,670 --> 01:08:00,319 the top of a very primitive elevator 1872 01:08:03,270 --> 01:08:01,680 yeah 1873 01:08:05,190 --> 01:08:03,280 but he got to see the curvature of the 1874 01:08:07,190 --> 01:08:05,200 earth and the fragileness of the 1875 01:08:08,870 --> 01:08:07,200 atmosphere that gives us life the 1876 01:08:10,950 --> 01:08:08,880 thinness of that out of all the 1877 01:08:13,190 --> 01:08:10,960 blackness of space and 1878 01:08:15,270 --> 01:08:13,200 all of the death that is at the core of 1879 01:08:17,349 --> 01:08:15,280 the planet from a few feet down all the 1880 01:08:18,950 --> 01:08:17,359 way to the molten core there's this 1881 01:08:19,829 --> 01:08:18,960 little bit of life on the skin of the 1882 01:08:21,269 --> 01:08:19,839 earth 1883 01:08:24,789 --> 01:08:21,279 and boy when he came back and talked 1884 01:08:26,229 --> 01:08:24,799 about that i i like yeah bill 1885 01:08:28,550 --> 01:08:26,239 i think everybody can see that you don't 1886 01:08:31,430 --> 01:08:28,560 necessarily need to go up you know 1887 01:08:33,110 --> 01:08:31,440 60 70 miles and look back down you can 1888 01:08:35,669 --> 01:08:33,120 sort of realize that for yourself how 1889 01:08:36,789 --> 01:08:35,679 fragile and precious life is here 1890 01:08:39,669 --> 01:08:36,799 um 1891 01:08:42,709 --> 01:08:39,679 and uh and become somebody who wants to 1892 01:08:45,269 --> 01:08:42,719 defend that and and praise it and honor 1893 01:08:46,709 --> 01:08:45,279 it and feel grateful for it 1894 01:08:48,470 --> 01:08:46,719 and then you get to a place that these 1895 01:08:49,749 --> 01:08:48,480 so-called protocols 1896 01:08:51,829 --> 01:08:49,759 you don't need somebody telling you how 1897 01:08:54,149 --> 01:08:51,839 to do that 1898 01:08:55,910 --> 01:08:54,159 it can be easily encountered naturally i 1899 01:08:58,229 --> 01:08:55,920 think and i know you've done that too i 1900 01:09:00,070 --> 01:08:58,239 think you 1901 01:09:01,749 --> 01:09:00,080 one of you that told me a story about 1902 01:09:03,669 --> 01:09:01,759 being out in one of utah's national 1903 01:09:05,749 --> 01:09:03,679 forests and encountering an egg-shaped 1904 01:09:06,870 --> 01:09:05,759 vehicle is that your story 1905 01:09:09,910 --> 01:09:06,880 i

yeah of course 1909 01:09:16,070 --> 01:09:14,719 and 1910 01:09:18,229 --> 01:09:16,080 that's normal 1911 01:09:19,990 --> 01:09:18,239 but i have witnessed to your point i 1912 01:09:22,950 -->

that museum and 1945 01:10:34,390 --> 01:10:32,960 talking to my friend in the army 1946 01:10:36,310 --> 01:10:34,400 intelligence and realizing all this 1947 01:10:37,990 --> 01:10:36,320 stuff i thought about yeah i want to 1948 01:10:41,430 --> 01:10:38,000 talk to the et's 1949 01:10:43,270 --> 01:10:41,440 and i don't need a big radio telescope 1950 01:10:45,030 --> 01:10:43,280 or broadcast transmitter to do that if 1951 01:10:47,189 --> 01:10:45,040 they're here they're downloading the 1952 01:10:49,030 --> 01:10:47,199 internet so some years ago i put up a 1953 01:10:50,870

think bill shatner had that same 1962 01:11:12,550 --> 01:11:10,239 kind of orientation we need 1963 01:11:14,390 --> 01:11:12,560 to clean up our own nest stop killing 1964 01:11:16,310 --> 01:11:14,400 each other stop polluting 1965 01:11:17,990 --> 01:11:16,320 uh the planet to the point that it 1966 01:11:19,030 --> 01:11:18,000 doesn't support uh 1967 01:11:21,270 --> 01:11:19,040 life 1968 01:11:23,110 --> 01:11:21,280 so um look for that i think i need to 1969 01:11:24,950 --> 01:11:23,120 get that up i need to get my transcript 1970 01:11:27,510 --> 01:11:24,960 of the citizens hearing up i think it's 1971 01:11:29,270 --> 01:11:27,520 time jeremy and reuben have basically 1972 01:11:31,430 --> 01:11:29,280 put it all up for free on youtube now 1973 01:11:32,790 --> 01:11:31,440 although they edited steve bassett out 1974 01:11:35,189 --> 01:11:32,800 oh my goodness 1975 01:11:37,110 --> 01:11:35,199 human beings are nuts and and the crazy 1976 01:11:39,110 --> 01:11:37,120 hurtful things we do 1977 01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:39,120 um hey i'm gonna do that and the other 1978 01:11:42,470 --> 01:11:40,560 one i wanted to leave you with is i met 1979 01:11:44,390 --> 01:11:42,480 ray bradbury once 1980 01:11:45,669 --> 01:11:44,400 he uh took a train to utah because he 1981 01:11:47,590 --> 01:11:45,679 didn't fly 1982 01:11:49,350 --> 01:11:47,600 uh and he gave a talk up at utah state 1983 01:11:51,750 --> 01:11:49,360 university and i also recorded that 1984 01:11:53,110 --> 01:11:51,760 typed up a transcript and sent it to him 1985 01:11:55,510 --> 01:11:53,120 it's one of those things i like doing 1986 01:11:57,910 --> 01:11:55,520 recording things typing up transcripts 1987 01:11:59,750 --> 01:11:57,920 sharing them ray wrote me back a 1988 01:12:01,830 --> 01:11:59,760 wonderful thank-you note 1989 01:12:03,910 --> 01:12:01,840 but what he said in that 1990 01:12:05,750 --> 01:12:03,920 still struck me which was he regretted 1991 01:12:08,470 --> 01:12:05,760 being alive now 1992 01:12:10,790 --> 01:12:08,480 because we're too close to the cave 1993 01:12:12,310 --> 01:12:10,800 and too far from the stars 1994 01:12:13,750 --> 01:12:12,320 and he wanted to be a human being he 1995 01:12:15,830 --> 01:12:13,760 could live when we 1996 01:12:17,669 --> 01:12:15,840 we travel among the stars 1997 01:12:20,070 --> 01:12:17,679 yeah and so do i 1998 01:12:22,310 --> 01:12:20,080 um and he just said i'm an enthusiast 1999 01:12:24,470 --> 01:12:22,320 for life what you have before you is an 2000 01:12:26,950 --> 01:12:24,480 enthusiast for life 2001 01:12:28,870 --> 01:12:26,960 that's how he started out his talk so 2002 01:12:31,590 --> 01:12:28,880 i just leave everybody with the idea 2003 01:12:32,950 --> 01:12:31,600 that let's do things that honor life and 2004 01:12:34,790 --> 01:12:32,960 advance 2005 01:12:36,630 --> 01:12:34,800 life and end 2006 01:12:38,550 --> 01:12:36,640 suffering and 2007 01:12:40,550 --> 01:12:38,560 bring us to a place where the 2008 01:12:42,709 --> 01:12:40,560 earth might look like the garden of eden 2009 01:12:44,870 --> 01:12:42,719 it was intended to be i believe such 2010 01:12:47,189 --> 01:12:44,880 that whatever life that's out there 2011 01:12:50,550 --> 01:12:47,199 that's peaceful 2012 01:12:52,070 --> 01:12:50,560 feels comfortable dropping by i know i 2013 01:12:54,870 --> 01:12:52,080 wouldn't feel real comfortable dropping 2014 01:12:57,030 --> 01:12:54,880 by if i had never been here before 2015 01:12:58,870 --> 01:12:57,040 it's a little bit of a scary place right 2016 01:13:00,709 --> 01:12:58,880 now but let's let's move it forward 2017 01:13:03,110 --> 01:13:00,719 surely we can all agree on doing that 2018 01:13:05,990 --> 01:13:03,120 regardless of political orientation or 2019 01:13:08,149 --> 01:13:06,000 attitudes about various ufo researchers 2020 01:13:10,950 --> 01:13:08,159 let's just all agree we want to move the 2021 01:13:13,350 --> 01:13:10,960 planet forward to being a place that 2022 01:13:15,830 --> 01:13:13,360 advanced people peaceful life would feel 2023 01:13:17,990 --> 01:13:15,840 more comfortable
