00:00:07,490 --> 00:00:05,180
hello it's Tuesday May 30th 2017 you are

2
00:00:10,430 --> 00:00:07,500
listening to inception Radio Network

3
00:00:15,499 --> 00:00:10,440
voice of the fringe majority this is

4
00:00:17,930 --> 00:00:15,509
Carol Karl with us at nine News we pause

5
00:00:22,099 --> 00:00:17,940
we ponder look up and ask the heavens

6
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:22,109
what's up well specifically Planet wise

7
00:00:28,670 --> 00:00:25,410
and star wise the moon and Regulus are

8
00:00:31,669 --> 00:00:28,680
up this is according to earth sky org

9
00:00:34,580 --> 00:00:31,679
our constant steady North Star of

10
00:00:37,970 --> 00:00:34,590
information tonight the waxing crescent

11
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:37,980
moon is approaching the star Regulus the

12
00:00:44,299 --> 00:00:40,680
brightest star in the constellation Leo

13
00:00:46,610 --> 00:00:44,309
the Lion nearly everybody worldwide can

14
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:46,620
use the moon to find the star Regulus

15
00:00:51,350 --> 00:00:48,809
tonight just look for the moon in the

16
00:00:54,350 --> 00:00:51,360
evening sky that bright star nearby

17
00:00:56,090 --> 00:00:54,360
well--that's Regulus there's little

18
00:00:58,670 --> 00:00:56,100
chance of mistaking another star for

19
00:01:01,069 --> 00:00:58,680
Regulus because it's the only bright

20
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:01,079
object within a stone's throw of the May

21
00:01:07,370 --> 00:01:04,890
30th moon the much brighter star a long

22
00:01:10,460 --> 00:01:07,380
hop to the east well not a star at all

23
00:01:13,399 --> 00:01:10,470
it's that giant planet King Jupiter

24
00:01:15,590 --> 00:01:13,409
you'll easily see Jupiter it's the most

25
00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:15,600
brilliant star like object in the may

26
00:01:21,590 --> 00:01:18,930
evening sky indeed this broadcaster said

27
00:01:23,330 --> 00:01:21,600
to herself these binoculars just aren't

28
00:01:25,340 --> 00:01:23,340
cutting it maybe it's high time we

29
00:01:28,370 --> 00:01:25,350
learned to use that Meade telescope

30
00:01:31,130 --> 00:01:28,380
we've had at our disposal but just been

31
00:01:32,990 --> 00:01:31,140
too undisciplined to pursue hmm we're

32
00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:33,000
betting that rings a bell with at least

33
00:01:36,050 --> 00:01:35,460
one of you gentle listeners but it's

34
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:36,060
summer

35
00:01:40,700 --> 00:01:38,490
mostly moderate temperatures at least in

36
00:01:42,380 --> 00:01:40,710
the northern hemisphere perhaps it's

37
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:42,390
time if you've got something at your

38
00:01:46,819 --> 00:01:44,250
disposal give it a whirl

39
00:01:49,210 --> 00:01:46,829
King planet Jupiter is up there in all

40
00:01:51,410 --> 00:01:49,220
its brilliance at the moment and

41
00:01:53,810 --> 00:01:51,420
according to the folks at earth Sky

42
00:01:57,289 --> 00:01:53,820
dot-org the moon is going to meet up

43
00:01:59,870 --> 00:01:57,299
with Jupiter on June 3rd as viewed from

44
00:02:02,270 --> 00:01:59,880
North America the moon on the night of

45
00:02:05,209 --> 00:02:02,280
May 30th will be to the west or to the

46
00:02:07,210 --> 00:02:05,219
right of reckless and on May 31st and

47
00:02:09,369 --> 00:02:07,220
June 1st will be in that same position

48
00:02:13,020 --> 00:02:09,379
from the world's eastern hemisphere

49
00:02:15,059 --> 00:02:13,030
Europe Africa Asia Australia and new

50
00:02:17,640 --> 00:02:15,069
and you guys are going to see the moon's

51
00:02:20,340 --> 00:02:17,650
position somewhat offset toward those

52
00:02:22,890 --> 00:02:20,350
previous dates in fact if you're living

53
00:02:24,090 --> 00:02:22,900
in Madagascar or along the southeast

54
00:02:27,150 --> 00:02:24,100
coast of Africa

55
00:02:27,690 --> 00:02:27,160
you can watch the moon a cult or cover

56
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:27,700
up

57
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:30,970
Regulus on the evening of May 31st the

58
00:02:35,850 --> 00:02:33,130
star will slip behind the moon's dark

59
00:02:38,850 --> 00:02:35,860
side and then reappear on its

60
00:02:41,070 --> 00:02:38,860
illuminated side if you are living in

61
00:02:43,199 --> 00:02:41,080
and hearing this broadcast from this

62
00:02:46,370 --> 00:02:43,209
following City we apologize for the

63
00:02:51,270 --> 00:02:46,380
attempt at pronouncing it it's

64
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:51,280
antananarivo spelled a and ta na na RI

65
00:02:57,690 --> 00:02:54,610
vo it's in Madagascar that occultation

66
00:03:02,070 --> 00:02:57,700
will start at precisely 8:15 p.m. and

67
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:02,080
end at 9:26 p.m. local time but no

68
00:03:07,380 --> 00:03:04,690
matter where you live worldwide the moon

69
00:03:09,420 --> 00:03:07,390
always moves eastward relative to the

70
00:03:12,300 --> 00:03:09,430
backdrop of stars and planets of the

71
00:03:15,059 --> 00:03:12,310
zodiac that eastward motion in our sky

72
00:03:18,420 --> 00:03:15,069
is a translation of the moon's eastward

73
00:03:20,340 --> 00:03:18,430
motion in orbit around Earth starting

74
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:20,350
tonight and over the next several days

75
00:03:25,259 --> 00:03:22,690
you can notice that orbital motion of

76
00:03:28,860 --> 00:03:25,269
the moon as it sweeps by the star

77
00:03:31,860 --> 00:03:28,870
regulus bottom line tonight may 30th

78
00:03:33,900 --> 00:03:31,870
2017 the waxing crescent moon is

79
00:03:36,420 --> 00:03:33,910
approaching the star Regulus the

80
00:03:39,810 --> 00:03:36,430
brightest star in the constellation Leo

81
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:39,820
the Lion our particular orbit took us

82
00:03:46,140 --> 00:03:43,060
past the earth sky dot-org Earth section

83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:46,150
a wonderful part of that site for this

84
00:03:52,170 --> 00:03:49,570
headline weekend Aurora's at the South

85
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:52,180
Pole it's really little more than a

86
00:03:58,020 --> 00:03:53,650
soundbite but here we go

87
00:04:02,520 --> 00:03:58,030
on Saturday May 27th 2017 a coronal mass

88
00:04:05,670 --> 00:04:02,530
ejection or CME arrived at Earth from

89
00:04:08,550 --> 00:04:05,680
the Sun sparking a strong g3 class

90
00:04:11,490 --> 00:04:08,560
geomagnetic storm that peaked on May

91
00:04:14,699 --> 00:04:11,500
28th according to the site space weather

92
00:04:17,340 --> 00:04:14,709
calm Aurora's were cited in more than 20

93
00:04:18,840 --> 00:04:17,350
United States states and no doubt at

94
00:04:21,509 --> 00:04:18,850
similar latitudes in the northern

95
00:04:23,790 --> 00:04:21,519
hemisphere but they also occurred over

96
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:23,800
the less populous south hemisphere and

97
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:26,800
over Earth's South Pole

98
00:04:31,469 --> 00:04:28,930
are we weren't able to find any striking

99
00:04:33,659 --> 00:04:31,479
significance of an effect here on earth

100
00:04:35,700 --> 00:04:33,669
as far as communications we're concerned

101
00:04:38,879 --> 00:04:35,710
with wait and see and keep you posted

102
00:04:41,820 --> 00:04:38,889
meanwhile if you are so inclined there's

103
00:04:44,969 --> 00:04:41,830
a striking photograph that is over at

104
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:44,979
earth sky org we'll post a link later at

105

Aurora's taken over a relay station at

107
00:04:57,390 --> 00:04:53,860
the South Pole and coincidentally the

108
00:05:01,709 --> 00:04:57,400
shot captures an Iridium flare what a

109
00:05:04,020 --> 00:05:01,719
combo here's a combo an agency of the

110
00:05:06,689 --> 00:05:04,030
United States government and a place in

111
00:05:09,330 --> 00:05:06,699
space well we never thought we would be

112
00:05:12,119 --> 00:05:09,340
reading this headline NASA to make

113
00:05:15,360 --> 00:05:12,129
announcement about first mission to

114
00:05:17,490 --> 00:05:15,370
touch Sun no we can assure you this

115
00:05:20,369 --> 00:05:17,500
isn't fake news and it isn't April

116

press release and it goes like this

119
00:05:31,499 --> 00:05:28,060
it's actually an announcement about an

120
00:05:33,870 --> 00:05:31,509
upcoming announcement NASA will make an

121
00:05:36,930 --> 00:05:33,880
announcement about the agency's first

122
00:05:39,990 --> 00:05:36,940
mission to fly directly into our sun's

123
00:05:41,490 --> 00:05:40,000

Eckert Research Center auditorium as one

128
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:51,909
might expect that event is going to be

129
00:05:58,890 --> 00:05:54,610
broadcast live we'll put up a link from

131
00:06:03,689 --> 00:06:01,060
just not able to wait you can sleuth

132
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:03,699
around and find out on your own the

133
00:06:10,230 --> 00:06:07,090
mission Solar Probe plus is scheduled to

134
00:06:13,050 --> 00:06:10,240
launch in the summer of 2018 placed in

135
00:06:15,330 --> 00:06:13,060
orbit within four million miles of the

136
00:06:17,999 --> 00:06:15,340
sun's surface and facing heat and

137
00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:18,009
radiation unlike any spacecraft in

138
00:06:23,550 --> 00:06:20,770
history the spacecraft will explore the

139
00:06:24,990 --> 00:06:23,560
sun's outer atmosphere and make critical

140
00:06:27,959 --> 00:06:25,000
observations that will answer

141
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:27,969
decades-old questions about the physics

142
00:06:33,659 --> 00:06:31,690
of how stars work the resulting data

143
00:06:35,939 --> 00:06:33,669
will improve forecasts of major space

144
00:06:38,519 --> 00:06:35,949
weather events that impact life on Earth

145
00:06:40,230 --> 00:06:38,529
as well as satellites and the lives of

186
00:08:30,570 --> 00:08:27,580
Kennedy Space Center in Florida it's

187
00:08:32,969 --> 00:08:30,580
going to be carrying almost 6,000 pounds

188
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:32,979
of science research crew supplies and

189
00:08:38,519 --> 00:08:36,010
hardware to the orbiting laboratory it's

190
00:08:42,659 --> 00:08:38,529
going to be supporting expedition 52 and

191
00:08:44,940 --> 00:08:42,669
53 crew members the unpressurized trunk

192
00:08:48,510 --> 00:08:44,950
of the spacecraft also will transport

193
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:48,520
solar panels tools for earth observation

194
00:08:53,550 --> 00:08:52,050
and equipment to study neutron stars

195
00:08:55,470 --> 00:08:53,560
about 10min

196
00:08:57,900 --> 00:08:55,480
after launch dragon will reach its

197
00:09:00,540 --> 00:08:57,910
preliminary orbit it's then going to

198
00:09:02,730 --> 00:09:00,550
deploy its solar arrays and begin a

199
00:09:05,250 --> 00:09:02,740
carefully choreographed series of

200
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:05,260
thruster firings to reach the space

201
00:09:10,950 --> 00:09:08,650
station when it arrives expedition 52

202
00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:10,960
flight engineers Jack Fischer and Peggy

203
00:09:13,590 --> 00:09:13,029
Whitson she's commander currently of

204
00:09:16,170 --> 00:09:13,600
NASA

205
00:09:18,540 --> 00:09:16,180
we'll be grappling with the dragon if

206
00:09:20,870 --> 00:09:18,550
you want to see that well there's live

207
00:09:24,750 --> 00:09:20,880
coverage of that rendezvous and capture

208
00:09:28,110 --> 00:09:24,760
starting at 8:30 a.m. Sunday June 4th on

209
00:09:31,410 --> 00:09:28,120
NASA TV with installation coverage set

210
00:09:33,870 --> 00:09:31,420
to begin later at 11:30 a.m. if that

211
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:33,880
launch doesn't occur June 1st the next

212
00:09:40,410 --> 00:09:37,210
launch window will be 507 p.m. Saturday

213
00:09:43,170 --> 00:09:40,420
June 3rd and then that TV coverage won't

214
00:09:45,390 --> 00:09:43,180
start till 4:30 p.m. if you didn't get a

215
00:09:48,540 --> 00:09:45,400
chance to write that all down don't

216
00:09:51,390 --> 00:09:48,550
worry there will be links later at UFO

217
00:09:53,460 --> 00:09:51,400
headline news calm the Dragon spacecraft

218
00:09:56,790 --> 00:09:53,470
is going to remain at the space station

219
00:09:59,190 --> 00:09:56,800
until approximately July 2nd when it's

220
00:10:01,829 --> 00:09:59,200
scheduled to splashdown with that

221
00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:01,839
research and return cargo in the Pacific

222
00:10:06,810 --> 00:10:04,170
Ocean off the coast of Baja California

223
00:10:08,670 --> 00:10:06,820
media at Kennedy Center will have the

224
00:10:11,340 --> 00:10:08,680
opportunity to participate in special

225
00:10:14,280 --> 00:10:11,350
tours and briefings the 31st of May and

226
00:10:16,829 --> 00:10:14,290
June 1st and view the launch this is

227
00:10:19,710 --> 00:10:16,839
going to be the 100th launch the 6th

228
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:19,720
SpaceX launch from this pad previous

229
00:10:25,190 --> 00:10:22,450
launches include 11 Apollo flights the

230
00:10:30,270 --> 00:10:25,200
launch of an unmanned Skylab back in

231
00:10:33,390 --> 00:10:30,280
1973 82 shuttle flights and 5 SpaceX

232
00:10:36,449 --> 00:10:33,400
launches speaking of launches well let's

233
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:36,459
just launch this the source is so

234
00:10:40,590 --> 00:10:39,010
credible all of the players are credible

235
00:10:43,590 --> 00:10:40,600
it goes like this

236
00:10:47,040 --> 00:10:43,600
Bigelow Aerospace founder says

237
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:47,050
commercial world will lead in space nope

238
00:10:51,930 --> 00:10:49,450
that's not the real gold nugget a take

239
00:10:54,390 --> 00:10:51,940
away here that's very farther in the

240
00:10:57,329 --> 00:10:54,400
article and the article is written in

241
00:11:00,240 --> 00:10:57,339
the form of a two-person interview so if

242
00:11:03,570 --> 00:11:00,250
you will indulge this is an interview

243
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:03,580
that happened actually for CBS TV 60

244
00:11:09,370 --> 00:11:06,890
minutes but first to set the stage

245
00:11:11,140 --> 00:11:09,380
there's a new space race and it's not

246
00:11:14,140 --> 00:11:11,150
between the United States and Russia

247
00:11:15,940 --> 00:11:14,150
it's between private companies and it's

248
00:11:16,930 --> 00:11:15,950
attracted multimillionaires and

249
00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:16,940
billionaires

250
00:11:22,750 --> 00:11:20,210
like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos a less

251
00:11:26,170 --> 00:11:22,760
likely player is Las Vegas real estate

252
00:11:28,900 --> 00:11:26,180
tycoon Robert Bigelow who at 73 is

253
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:28,910
making the biggest gamble of his life

254
00:11:34,810 --> 00:11:31,850
not on rockets but on expandable

255
00:11:37,750 --> 00:11:34,820
spacecraft large lightweight structures

256
00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:37,760
that inflate in space a technology that

257
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:39,830
could dramatically change how humans

258
00:11:45,250 --> 00:11:43,130
live and work in zero-gravity nASA has

259
00:11:46,990 --> 00:11:45,260
partnered with Robert Bigelow who's an

260
00:11:49,720 --> 00:11:47,000
unconventional figure in the aerospace

261
00:11:52,870 --> 00:11:49,730
world he's more at home on the Vegas

262
00:11:56,640 --> 00:11:52,880
strip than at America's Space Agency and

263
00:11:59,260 --> 00:11:56,650
he's obsessed with aliens and UFOs

264
00:12:02,140 --> 00:11:59,270
yes gentle listeners it says that right

265
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:02,150
here in the spring of last year he and

266
00:12:06,400 --> 00:12:04,250
NASA carried out an historic test to

267
00:12:10,030 --> 00:12:06,410
prove his high flying technology is

268
00:12:12,220 --> 00:12:10,040
ready to support humans in space what we

269
00:12:15,820 --> 00:12:12,230
playfully refer to as that inflatable

270
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:15,830
space bounce house and when Ilan Musk's

271
00:12:19,870 --> 00:12:17,780
SpaceX rocket soared into the skies

272
00:12:23,380 --> 00:12:19,880
above Cape Canaveral it was on a mission

273
00:12:25,180 --> 00:12:23,390
for NASA carrying nearly 7,000 pounds of

274
00:12:28,830 --> 00:12:25,190
cargo to the International Space Station

275
00:12:32,110 --> 00:12:28,840
food supplies and Robert Bigelow's

276
00:12:34,860 --> 00:12:32,120
expandable spacecraft let's start that

277
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:34,870
two-person interview right about here

278
00:12:39,370 --> 00:12:37,490
Robert Bigelow flying to the

279
00:12:41,590 --> 00:12:39,380
International Space Station is a really

280
00:12:44,890 --> 00:12:41,600
big deal it's an experimental spacecraft

281
00:12:47,350 --> 00:12:44,900
which is a big deal we don't know how

282
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:47,360
it's going to behave for sure Laura

283
00:12:52,540 --> 00:12:50,210
Logan does that make you nervous Robert

284
00:12:54,430 --> 00:12:52,550
Bigelow I'm nervous because I'm a

285
00:12:57,610 --> 00:12:54,440
nervous person I think and I don't

286
00:13:00,460 --> 00:12:57,620
necessarily always expect things to go

287
00:13:02,380 --> 00:13:00,470
right at this point during the CBS 60

288
00:13:04,870 --> 00:13:02,390
minutes interview they inserted

289
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:04,880
time-lapse video you can see that bounce

290
00:13:11,950 --> 00:13:08,930
house expanding in seconds close to 300

291
00:13:15,310 --> 00:13:11,960
million dollars and 16 years to get it

292
00:13:17,230 --> 00:13:15,320
there Laura Logan is there anything this

293
00:13:20,410 --> 00:13:17,240
big that astronauts are working in today

294
00:13:23,350 --> 00:13:20,420
Robert Bigelow no nothing even

295
00:13:25,449 --> 00:13:23,360
close I can turn this process into

296
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:25,459
anything a client wants a first ever

297
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:28,010
orbiting hotel a hospital or an

298
00:13:33,370 --> 00:13:31,250
inflatable research facility the B

299
00:13:36,939 --> 00:13:33,380
three-30 is smaller than the original

300
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:36,949
the olympus Lara Logan this can function

301
00:13:42,759 --> 00:13:39,829
on its own Bigelow well it can function

302
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:42,769
as a standalone destination because it

303
00:13:46,930 --> 00:13:44,600
has all the facilities that it would

304
00:13:48,519 --> 00:13:46,940
take to keep people alive or four

305
00:13:50,980 --> 00:13:48,529
countries hoping to make their mark in

306
00:13:54,069 --> 00:13:50,990
space Bigelow said this offers an

307
00:13:56,230 --> 00:13:54,079
affordable way in Lara Logan then says

308
00:13:58,990 --> 00:13:56,240
what about the idea of national pride

309
00:14:01,750 --> 00:13:59,000
and what we do as nations Neil Armstrong

310
00:14:04,120 --> 00:14:01,760
walking on the moon he didn't do that

311
00:14:05,889 --> 00:14:04,130
for a private company he did that for

312
00:14:08,680 --> 00:14:05,899
the United States of America and it

313
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:08,690
meant something to which Robert Bigelow

314
00:14:14,019 --> 00:14:11,750
replies you bet it did and that created

315
00:14:17,050 --> 00:14:14,029
a period of inspiration that hasn't been

316
00:14:20,110 --> 00:14:17,060
matched ever since so now we're looking

317
00:14:22,750 --> 00:14:20,120
for a new era that says alright now how

318
00:14:25,269 --> 00:14:22,760
can we now shape this to where it's more

319
00:14:27,639 --> 00:14:25,279
accessible for a lot more folks at a lot

320
00:14:30,610 --> 00:14:27,649
less cost and still have safety and

321
00:14:33,009 --> 00:14:30,620
reliability at the same time apparently

322
00:14:35,650 --> 00:14:33,019
while watching Neil Armstrong take his

323
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:35,660
first steps on the moon that moment in

324
00:14:41,590 --> 00:14:38,649
history inspired him and still does

325
00:14:43,470 --> 00:14:41,600
Robert Bigelow says the approach however

326
00:14:46,180 --> 00:14:43,480
wasn't lightning-fast

327
00:14:49,210 --> 00:14:46,190
but now here's where Laura Logan writes

328
00:14:52,060 --> 00:14:49,220
that on a canyon road just outside Las

329
00:14:55,350 --> 00:14:52,070
Vegas Robert Bigelow story takes a turn

330
00:14:59,139 --> 00:14:55,360
that some may find to put it lightly

331
00:15:01,660 --> 00:14:59,149
improbable he told Laura Logan this is

332
00:15:06,189 --> 00:15:01,670
where his grandparents had a close

333
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:06,199
encounter with a UFO here it is Robert

334
00:15:12,430 --> 00:15:09,890
Bigelow it really sped up and came right

335
00:15:15,009 --> 00:15:12,440
into their faces and filled up the

336
00:15:17,199 --> 00:15:15,019
entire windshield of their car and it

337
00:15:20,019 --> 00:15:17,209
took off at a right angle and shot off

338
00:15:21,910 --> 00:15:20,029
into the distance this anecdote

339
00:15:24,189 --> 00:15:21,920
apparently sparked Robert Bigelow's

340
00:15:25,990 --> 00:15:24,199
obsession and it might explain that

341
00:15:29,590 --> 00:15:26,000
alien looking out from the side of

342
00:15:31,090 --> 00:15:29,600
Bigelow's aerospace sign and it made for

343
00:15:33,410 --> 00:15:31,100
a kind of conversation you don't

344
00:15:38,260 --> 00:15:33,420
ordinarily have with an akan

345
00:15:42,500 --> 00:15:38,270
CEO Lara Logan do you believe in aliens

346
00:15:46,490 --> 00:15:42,510
Robert Bigelow I'm absolutely convinced

347
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:46,500
that's all there is to it Lara Logan do

348
00:15:52,070 --> 00:15:48,390
you also believe that UFOs have come to

349
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:52,080
earth Robert Bigelow there has been and

350
00:15:58,010 --> 00:15:55,370
is an existing presence an

351
00:16:00,670 --> 00:15:58,020
extraterrestrial presence and I spent

352
00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:00,680
millions and millions and millions I

353
00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:03,450
probably spent more as an individual

354
00:16:09,170 --> 00:16:05,790
than anybody else in the United States

355
00:16:12,230 --> 00:16:09,180
has ever spent on this subject Lara

356
00:16:14,330 --> 00:16:12,240
Logan is it risky for you to say in

357
00:16:17,870 --> 00:16:14,340
public that you believe in UFOs and

358
00:16:21,530 --> 00:16:17,880
aliens Robert Bigelow I don't give a

359
00:16:23,300 --> 00:16:21,540
damn I don't care Lara Logan you don't

360
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:23,310
worry that some people will say did you

361
00:16:28,310 --> 00:16:25,290
hear that guy he sounds like he's crazy

362
00:16:32,900 --> 00:16:28,320
Robert Bigelow I don't care

363
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:32,910
Lara Logan why not Robert Bigelow it's

364
00:16:37,010 --> 00:16:35,130
not gonna make a difference it's not

365
00:16:41,329 --> 00:16:37,020
going to change the reality of what I

366
00:16:43,010 --> 00:16:41,339
know Lara Logan do you imagine that in

Bigelow you don't have to go anywhere

370
00:16:57,260 --> 00:16:53,040
Lara Logan you can find it here where

371
00:17:01,010 --> 00:16:57,270
exactly Robert Bigelow it's just like

372
00:17:04,610 --> 00:17:01,020
right under people's noses oh my gosh

373
00:17:07,220 --> 00:17:04,620
Wow and that's a direct quote Robert

374
00:17:10,699 --> 00:17:07,230
Bigelow it's just like right under

375
00:17:14,030 --> 00:17:10,709
people's noses oh my gosh Wow

376
00:17:17,660 --> 00:17:14,040
in other words extraterrestrial life is

377
00:17:19,490 --> 00:17:17,670
here according to Robert Bigelow the

378
00:17:22,309 --> 00:17:19,500
content of this article goes on to say

379
00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:22,319
that the FAA confirmed to Laura Logan

380
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:25,770
that for years it did refer reports of

381
00:17:31,940 --> 00:17:28,650
UFOs and other unexplained phenomenon to

382
00:17:34,220 --> 00:17:31,950
accompany Bigelow owns he told us he's

383
00:17:37,700 --> 00:17:34,230
had his own Close Encounters but

384
00:17:40,670 --> 00:17:37,710
declined to go into detail a Lara Logan

385
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:40,680
continues Robert Bigelow's quirky and he

386
00:17:45,830 --> 00:17:42,810
knows it but when you have as much money

387
00:17:46,580 --> 00:17:45,840
as he does no one not even NASA seems to

388
00:17:48,860 --> 00:17:46,590

here is the sighting itself I was on a

409
00:18:49,659 --> 00:18:46,950
cruise from Southampton in the United

00:19:01,669 --> 00:18:59,700
inside the coach through the window at

414
00:19:04,639 --> 00:19:01,679
the time I took this picture I did not

415
00:19:06,889 --> 00:19:04,649
notice anything in the sky when we got

416
00:19:10,549 --> 00:19:06,899
back on the ship I was going through the

417
00:19:13,430 --> 00:19:10,559
pictures and I saw this object the

418
00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:13,440
picture was taken on a samsung s7 edge

419
00:19:19,639 --> 00:19:17,369
on the maximum resolution since we are

420
00:19:22,730 --> 00:19:19,649

unknown or not

434
00:20:06,380 --> 00:20:03,260
applicable the altitude was unknown

435
00:20:10,010 --> 00:20:06,390
sighting duration three minutes object

437
00:20:16,160 --> 00:20:13,260
path path with directional change and it

438
00:20:18,860 --> 00:20:16,170
had a square or rectangular shape

439
00:20:22,130 --> 00:20:18,870
no weather to speak of and so we won't

440
00:20:24,140 --> 00:20:22,140
here is the first person account I was

441
00:20:27,380 --> 00:20:24,150
at the Tyne estuary taking photographs

442
00:20:30,010 --> 00:20:27,390
of passing planes when I spotted what at

443
00:20:33,620 --> 00:20:30,020
first I thought was a passenger plane I

444
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:33,630
started to zoom in with my Nikon p900

445
00:20:41,120 --> 00:20:38,310
only to be shocked by what I saw it was

446
00:20:44,660 --> 00:20:41,130
no passenger plane it appeared to be two

447
00:20:47,120 --> 00:20:44,670
white rectangular sections that were

448
00:20:49,040 --> 00:20:47,130
somehow connected and from the middle

449
00:20:52,700 --> 00:20:49,050
section there were two protruding

450
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:52,710
transparent square flaps there was one

451
00:20:58,690 --> 00:20:55,770
flap on the top and one flap on the

452
00:21:01,460 --> 00:20:58,700
bottom of these conjoined rectangles

453
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:01,470
there were also two separate contrails

454
00:21:08,210 --> 00:21:04,010
that were left by this strange object

455
00:21:10,100 --> 00:21:08,220
this is totally bizarre what kind of

456
00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:10,110
aircraft would have this kind of

457
00:21:15,290 --> 00:21:12,450
configuration I would say I have never

458
00:21:18,140 --> 00:21:15,300
seen anything like it before but that

459
00:21:20,570 --> 00:21:18,150
would be a lie I photographed the same

460
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:20,580
bizarre object over the same Tyne

461
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:23,760
estuary site on the 10th of April 2017

462
00:21:30,970 --> 00:21:27,930
at 2:46 p.m. this object is very

463
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:30,980
unconventional what on earth could it be

464
00:21:38,930 --> 00:21:34,170
the photograph was taken on the 24th of

465
00:21:42,710 --> 00:21:38,940
May 2017 at 5:15 p.m. at tiny estuary

466
00:21:44,810 --> 00:21:42,720
Devon England and here's where we say

467
00:21:47,630 --> 00:21:44,820
gentle listeners if you never before

468
00:21:50,180 --> 00:21:47,640
have made your way over to UFO headline

469
00:21:53,270 --> 00:21:50,190
news calm it's pretty painless if you

470
00:21:55,070 --> 00:21:53,280
can link to that photo we just have to

471
00:21:56,990 --> 00:21:55,080
say that our assumption is this has to

472
00:22:00,260 --> 00:21:57,000
be something we are working on it is so

473
00:22:03,140 --> 00:22:00,270
blatantly there such a presence in the

474
00:22:05,630 --> 00:22:03,150
sky let's make our presence known back

475
00:22:08,720 --> 00:22:05,640
on the continental United States now in

476
00:22:11,090 --> 00:22:08,730
Colonial Heights Virginia let's move on

477
00:22:14,540 --> 00:22:11,100
case number eight four zero five zero

478
00:22:18,590 --> 00:22:14,550
this is an old sighting the date is nine

479
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:18,600
team 61 the month of October the 1st of

480
00:22:25,730 --> 00:22:20,910
the month it wasn't reported till the

481
00:22:28,430 --> 00:22:25,740
29th of May 2017 for some reason here's

482
00:22:31,970 --> 00:22:28,440
the summary one bright light that became

483
00:22:34,820 --> 00:22:31,980
11 dimmer lights that came out of that

484
00:22:38,570 --> 00:22:34,830
bright light the bright light got dimmer

485
00:22:41,570 --> 00:22:38,580
when the others left the viewing

486
00:22:44,650 --> 00:22:41,580
distance here over one mile unknown the

487
00:22:47,450 --> 00:22:44,660
altitude over 500 feet no cloud cover

488
00:22:49,910 --> 00:22:47,460
the sighting duration was 30 minutes

489
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:49,920
which perhaps could account for the

490
00:22:55,400 --> 00:22:52,380
vivid quality in our witnesses memory

491
00:22:58,640 --> 00:22:55,410
the object features however are reported

492
00:23:01,370 --> 00:22:58,650
as none the flight path hovering and

493
00:23:04,340 --> 00:23:01,380
then path and this object had a star

494
00:23:05,750 --> 00:23:04,350
like shape some dedicated soul went back

495
00:23:09,470 --> 00:23:05,760
and collected the weather information

496
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:09,480
for that date in 1961 the maximum

497
00:23:14,630 --> 00:23:12,210
temperature was 80 degrees Fahrenheit 27

498
00:23:17,690 --> 00:23:14,640
degrees Celsius minimum temperature of

499
00:23:21,130 --> 00:23:17,700
46 degrees Fahrenheit 8 degrees Celsius

500
00:23:24,110 --> 00:23:21,140
the maximum visibility was 15 miles 24

501
00:23:26,870 --> 00:23:24,120
kilometers and it was sort of downhill

502
00:23:31,250 --> 00:23:26,880
from there because it was raining and

503
00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:31,260
foggy here's the account this is an

504
00:23:37,220 --> 00:23:33,150
account of what I believe was a sighting

505
00:23:40,010 --> 00:23:37,230
of a UFO in the early 1960s I was

506
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:40,020
probably about 15 or 16 years old at the

507
00:23:43,550 --> 00:23:40,290
time

508
00:23:45,830 --> 00:23:43,560
I don't remember wearing a heavy winter

509
00:23:48,410 --> 00:23:45,840
coat so I believe this happened during

510
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:48,420
the fair weather months probably in the

511
00:23:51,860 --> 00:23:49,050
autumn

512
00:23:53,930 --> 00:23:51,870
I lived on Richmond Avenue in Colonial

513
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:53,940
Heights Virginia about a half block east

514
00:23:59,240 --> 00:23:56,970
of the boulevard when I saw the object

515
00:24:01,640 --> 00:23:59,250
in the sky I called two neighbor kids

516
00:24:03,740 --> 00:24:01,650
out to watch with me the sighting was in

517
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:03,750
early evening probably around 7 or 8

518
00:24:09,380 --> 00:24:06,090
o'clock in any event it wasn't long

519
00:24:11,890 --> 00:24:09,390
after dark the entire time period of

520
00:24:15,080 --> 00:24:11,900
this sighting was about 20 or 30 minutes

521
00:24:18,740 --> 00:24:15,090
this object appeared to be a very bright

522
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:18,750
star approximately east northeast of the

523
00:24:23,750 --> 00:24:20,970
intersection of Richmond Avenue and the

524
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:23,760
boulevard at that time I believe the

525
00:24:27,940 --> 00:24:26,010
bright light to be just over the Fort

526
00:24:29,800 --> 00:24:27,950
Lee airstrip

527
00:24:32,670 --> 00:24:29,810
however there was no way of knowing just

528
00:24:36,250 --> 00:24:32,680
how far or how near the object was and

529
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:36,260
there was no sound coming from this

530
00:24:42,130 --> 00:24:39,610
object here's an account of what we saw

531
00:24:44,590 --> 00:24:42,140
there was a very bright light looking

532
00:24:48,190 --> 00:24:44,600
like a star in the sky as time passed

533
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:48,200
the small light slowly left the bright

534
00:24:53,950 --> 00:24:50,570
light and appeared to come forward and

535
00:24:54,850 --> 00:24:53,960
to the right of that main light after a

536
00:24:57,880 --> 00:24:54,860
minute or two

537
00:25:00,490 --> 00:24:57,890
another small light slowly left the

538
00:25:04,330 --> 00:25:00,500
object and came forward and to the left

539
00:25:07,180 --> 00:25:04,340
side of the main object this process

540
00:25:11,230 --> 00:25:07,190
continued until there were about eleven

541
00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:11,240
objects in the sky when each light left

542
00:25:16,660 --> 00:25:13,610
the main light the main light would lose

543
00:25:18,310 --> 00:25:16,670
some of its brightness at the point

544
00:25:21,340 --> 00:25:18,320
where all the small lights were in the

545
00:25:24,550 --> 00:25:21,350
sky that main light was no brighter than

546
00:25:26,830 --> 00:25:24,560
the smaller individual objects after a

547
00:25:30,220 --> 00:25:26,840
minute or two those small lights slowly

548
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:30,230
went back and joined the main object it

549
00:25:35,190 --> 00:25:32,690
was almost as if they went back exactly

550
00:25:38,740 --> 00:25:35,200
in the reverse of how they came away

551
00:25:41,260 --> 00:25:38,750
originally eventually all the small

552
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:41,270
lights rejoined the main light and as

553
00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:43,730
each one rejoined that main light it

554
00:25:50,980 --> 00:25:46,970
became brighter until it was very bright

555
00:25:53,590 --> 00:25:50,990
once again then the object moved away in

556
00:25:57,220 --> 00:25:53,600
an easterly direction until it became so

557
00:25:58,960 --> 00:25:57,230
dim it disappeared from sight now the

558
00:26:02,050 --> 00:25:58,970
only way I can imagine anyone

559
00:26:04,540 --> 00:26:02,060
duplicating what we saw would be if they

560
00:26:06,640 --> 00:26:04,550
lined up 11 helicopters in a line east

561
00:26:09,250 --> 00:26:06,650
to west then turned on their

562
00:26:11,950 --> 00:26:09,260
searchlights then kept the front of each

563
00:26:14,260 --> 00:26:11,960
helicopter facing west and left the line

564
00:26:17,650 --> 00:26:14,270
one at a time moving away from that line

565
00:26:20,530 --> 00:26:17,660
then hovering for a minute and then all

566
00:26:22,690 --> 00:26:20,540
of those helicopters moving into similar

567
00:26:24,970 --> 00:26:22,700
positions and back without turning

568
00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:24,980
around oh and then they backed away

569
00:26:33,070 --> 00:26:28,210
until they went out of sight likely I

570
00:26:36,070 --> 00:26:33,080
think not was this a UFO I don't know

571
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:36,080
but I cannot explain what we saw in any

572
00:26:41,039 --> 00:26:39,290
logical way as far as I'm concerned it

573
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:41,049
was a UFO and

574
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:43,690
cause of this I find it easy to believe

575
00:26:51,299 --> 00:26:46,210
others when they say they have seen a

576
00:26:53,970 --> 00:26:51,309
UFO an oldie but a goodie a remarkable

577
00:26:56,430 --> 00:26:53,980
experience to have had no wonder our

578
00:26:59,399 --> 00:26:56,440
witness remembered it vividly here's

579
00:27:02,519 --> 00:26:59,409
something vivid the clock is crunching

580
00:27:05,729 --> 00:27:02,529
down upon us yet again we'll make like a

581
00:27:08,489 --> 00:27:05,739
UFO and vanish because that's a wrap

582
00:27:10,619 --> 00:27:08,499
