3
00:00:08,629 --> 00:00:05,680
hello it's wednesday july 26 2017. you

4
00:00:11,030 --> 00:00:08,639
are listening to inception radio network

5
00:00:15,669 --> 00:00:11,040
voice of the fringe majority this is

6
00:00:22,790 --> 00:00:18,790
may we have a drum roll please the star

7
00:00:25,269 --> 00:00:22,800
of the week vega the harp star nope not

8
00:00:26,790 --> 00:00:25,279
your hollywood star not at all from

9
00:00:29,910 --> 00:00:26,800
earthsky.org

10
00:00:31,990 --> 00:00:29,920
comes this the beautiful blue white star

11
00:00:34,630 --> 00:00:32,000
vega has a special place in the heart of

12
00:00:38,069 --> 00:00:34,640
many sky watchers come to know it and

13
00:00:40,389 --> 00:00:38,079
you'll see why so here's how to see vega

14
00:00:42,709 --> 00:00:40,399
observers in the northern hemisphere can

15
00:00:45,030 --> 00:00:42,719
see the star vega come into view in the

16
00:00:46,229 --> 00:00:45,040
northeast in mid-evening starting in the

17
00:00:48,389 --> 00:00:46,239
month of may

18
00:00:51,190 --> 00:00:48,399
look for this star in the very early

19
00:00:53,350 --> 00:00:51,200
evening in june then in the autumn it'll

20
00:00:55,590 --> 00:00:53,360
be high overhead in the northwest

21
00:00:58,389 --> 00:00:55,600
quadrant of sky that's where you'll find

22
00:00:59,990 --> 00:00:58,399
it in december but it's up there yep

23
00:01:01,910 --> 00:01:00,000
right about now

24
00:01:04,149 --> 00:01:01,920
vegas easily recognizable for its

25
00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:04,159
brilliance and its blue white color you

26
00:01:08,469 --> 00:01:05,680
can also easily pick out its

27
00:01:11,510 --> 00:01:08,479
constellation lira it's small and

28
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:11,520
compact and consists primarily of vega

29
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:14,000
and four fainter stars in the form of a

30
00:01:18,950 --> 00:01:16,560
parallelogram that little constellation

31
00:01:22,789 --> 00:01:18,960
lyra has some interesting features

32
00:01:25,670 --> 00:01:22,799
near vega is epsilon lirai the famed

33
00:01:28,710 --> 00:01:25,680
double double star between the gamma and

34
00:01:31,030 --> 00:01:28,720
beta stars is the famous ring nebula

35
00:01:33,510 --> 00:01:31,040
visible in small telescopes

36
00:01:36,310 --> 00:01:33,520
vega is one of three stars in an

37
00:01:39,030 --> 00:01:36,320
asterism one of those noticeable star

38
00:01:41,350 --> 00:01:39,040
patterns it's called the summer triangle

39
00:01:43,429 --> 00:01:41,360
it's in the early evening sky

40
00:01:45,350 --> 00:01:43,439
the two other stars in that triangle

41
00:01:47,190 --> 00:01:45,360
deneb and altair

42
00:01:49,350 --> 00:01:47,200
you can see the summer triangle in the

43
00:01:51,429 --> 00:01:49,360
evening starting as early as june

44
00:01:54,389 --> 00:01:51,439
through the end of each year here's a

45
00:01:55,350 --> 00:01:54,399
cool tidbit about vega in history and

46
00:01:57,910 --> 00:01:55,360
myth

47
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:57,920
in western skylore vega's constellation

48
00:02:03,270 --> 00:02:00,399
lira is said to be the harp played by

49
00:02:05,510 --> 00:02:03,280
the legendary greek musician orpheus

50
00:02:07,990 --> 00:02:05,520
it's said that when orpheus played this

51
00:02:08,869 --> 00:02:08,000
harp neither god nor mortal could turn

52
00:02:11,990 --> 00:02:08,879
away

53
00:02:13,990 --> 00:02:12,000
vega is sometimes called the harp star

54
00:02:16,229 --> 00:02:14,000
but the most beautiful story relating to

55
00:02:19,270 --> 00:02:16,239
vega comes from asia there are many

56
00:02:22,309 --> 00:02:19,280
variations in japan vega is sometimes

57
00:02:25,430 --> 00:02:22,319
called tanabata a celestial princess or

58
00:02:28,630 --> 00:02:25,440
goddess she falls in love with a mortal

59
00:02:31,030 --> 00:02:28,640
kangu represented by the star altair

60
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:31,040
but when tanabata's father finds out he

61
00:02:35,270 --> 00:02:33,680
is enraged and forbids her to see this

62
00:02:37,190 --> 00:02:35,280
mere mortal

63
00:02:39,509 --> 00:02:37,200
thus the two lovers are placed in the

64
00:02:42,150 --> 00:02:39,519
sky where they are separated by the

65
00:02:43,190 --> 00:02:42,160
celestial river known to us as the milky

66
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:43,200
way

67
00:02:48,229 --> 00:02:45,760
yet the sky gods are kind

68
00:02:51,509 --> 00:02:48,239
each year on the seventh night of the

69
00:02:53,830 --> 00:02:51,519
seventh moon a bridge of magpies forms

70
00:02:55,910 --> 00:02:53,840
across that celestial river and the two

71
00:02:58,390 --> 00:02:55,920
lovers are reunited

72
00:03:00,229 --> 00:02:58,400
sometimes kenyo's annual trip across

73
00:03:02,470 --> 00:03:00,239
that celestial river is treacherous

74
00:03:05,830 --> 00:03:02,480
though and he doesn't make it in that

75
00:03:07,910 --> 00:03:05,840
case tanabata's tears form raindrops

76
00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:07,920
that fall over japan

77
00:03:12,149 --> 00:03:10,159
many japanese celebrations of tanabata

78
00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:12,159
are held in july but sometimes they're

79
00:03:16,149 --> 00:03:13,519
held in august

80
00:03:18,630 --> 00:03:16,159
if it rains the raindrops are thought to

81
00:03:20,229 --> 00:03:18,640
be tanabata's tears because kang you

82
00:03:21,990 --> 00:03:20,239
could not meet her

83
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:22,000
sometimes the meteors of the perseid

84
00:03:27,509 --> 00:03:24,879
shower are also said to be tanabata's

85
00:03:28,869 --> 00:03:27,519
tears that's the poetry part here's the

86
00:03:31,270 --> 00:03:28,879
science part

87
00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:31,280
vega is the fifth brightest star visible

88
00:03:34,949 --> 00:03:33,280
from earth and the third brightest

89
00:03:37,589 --> 00:03:34,959
easily visible from mid-northern

90
00:03:40,789 --> 00:03:37,599
latitudes after stars sirius and

91
00:03:43,350 --> 00:03:40,799
arcturus it's about 25 light years in

92
00:03:45,670 --> 00:03:43,360
distance it's the sixth closest of all

93
00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:45,680
the bright stars or the fifth if you

94
00:03:50,309 --> 00:03:48,159
exclude alpha centauri which isn't that

95
00:03:51,670 --> 00:03:50,319
visible easily from most of the northern

96
00:03:54,149 --> 00:03:51,680
hemisphere

97
00:03:56,550 --> 00:03:54,159
vegas distinctly blue color indicates a

98
00:03:58,710 --> 00:03:56,560
surface temperature of nearly seventeen

99
00:04:02,949 --> 00:03:58,720
thousand degrees fahrenheit making it

100
00:04:05,589 --> 00:04:02,959
about 7000 degrees hotter than our sun

101
00:04:08,789 --> 00:04:05,599
roughly 2.5 times the diameter of the

102
00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:08,799
sun and just less than that in its mass

103
00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:10,720
vegas internal pressures and

104
00:04:15,910 --> 00:04:12,959
temperatures are far greater than our

105
00:04:18,789 --> 00:04:15,920
sun making it burn its fuel faster

106
00:04:21,990 --> 00:04:18,799
this causes vega to produce 35 to 40

107
00:04:24,550 --> 00:04:22,000
times the energy of our sun and that in

108
00:04:27,430 --> 00:04:24,560
turn shortens its lifetime

109
00:04:30,310 --> 00:04:27,440
at about 500 million years vega is

110
00:04:32,710 --> 00:04:30,320
already middle aged currently it's only

111
00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:32,720
about a tenth the age of our sun and

112
00:04:36,550 --> 00:04:34,800
it's going to run out of fuel in another

113
00:04:39,189 --> 00:04:36,560
half billion years

114
00:04:43,510 --> 00:04:39,199
in astronomers speak vega is something

115
00:04:46,550 --> 00:04:43,520
called an aov main sequence star

116
00:04:49,270 --> 00:04:46,560
the ao signifies its temperature whereas

117
00:04:51,990 --> 00:04:49,280
the v is a measure of energy output or

118
00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:52,000
luminosity which indicates that vega is

119
00:04:57,670 --> 00:04:55,520
a normal star not a giant the main

120
00:04:59,270 --> 00:04:57,680
sequence part according to larry

121
00:05:02,390 --> 00:04:59,280
sessions who writes this story for

122
00:05:05,030 --> 00:05:02,400
earthsky.org that again testifies to the

123
00:05:07,830 --> 00:05:05,040
fact that vega belongs in the category

124
00:05:10,790 --> 00:05:07,840
of normal stars and that it produces

125
00:05:13,830 --> 00:05:10,800
energy through stable fusion of hydrogen

126
00:05:17,510 --> 00:05:13,840
into helium with a visual magnitude an

127
00:05:20,150 --> 00:05:17,520
apparent brightness of 0.03

128
00:05:23,110 --> 00:05:20,160
vega is only marginally dimmer than

129
00:05:26,710 --> 00:05:23,120
arcturus but with a distinctly different

130
00:05:29,430 --> 00:05:26,720
color it's cool blue whereas arcturus

131
00:05:32,469 --> 00:05:29,440
has that readiness thing going on in

132
00:05:36,390 --> 00:05:32,479
fact in antiquity ptolemy described it

133
00:05:39,110 --> 00:05:36,400
as sub roofa or slightly red

134
00:05:42,029 --> 00:05:39,120
and that should segue us into something

135
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:42,039
else read the red planet from

136
00:05:46,629 --> 00:05:44,400
newatlas.com with a byline for david

137
00:05:48,469 --> 00:05:46,639
zondi here's this headline

138
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:48,479
space agencies prepare for

139
00:05:53,189 --> 00:05:51,440
communications dropout as mars is cut

140
00:05:55,350 --> 00:05:53,199
off from earth

141
00:05:58,150 --> 00:05:55,360
nasa and other space agencies are

142
00:06:00,230 --> 00:05:58,160
preparing for some downtime this week as

143
00:06:03,990 --> 00:06:00,240
communications with the planet mars are

144
00:06:08,309 --> 00:06:04,000
cut off or seriously degraded on july

145
00:06:10,870 --> 00:06:08,319
27th at 1 17 gmt the red planet will be

146
00:06:13,110 --> 00:06:10,880
in conjunction with the sun

147
00:06:15,990 --> 00:06:13,120
this means that between july 22nd

148
00:06:18,150 --> 00:06:16,000
roughly to august 1st there will be so

149
00:06:20,790 --> 00:06:18,160
much radio interference from the solar

150
00:06:23,270 --> 00:06:20,800
corona that it will not be possible to

151
00:06:24,950 --> 00:06:23,280
safely transmit orders to any of the

152
00:06:26,710 --> 00:06:24,960
mars spacecraft

153
00:06:29,270 --> 00:06:26,720
there currently are eight missions from

154
00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:29,280
the united states europe and india

155
00:06:34,150 --> 00:06:32,240
operating in orbit or on the surface of

156
00:06:36,550 --> 00:06:34,160
mars and they keep in touch with their

157
00:06:39,029 --> 00:06:36,560
various mission controls through tightly

158
00:06:41,749 --> 00:06:39,039
beamed radio signals designed to convey

159
00:06:43,749 --> 00:06:41,759
commands and data as well as a tracking

160
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:43,759
signal for the spacecraft's antennae to

161
00:06:47,110 --> 00:06:45,039
lock onto

162
00:06:49,830 --> 00:06:47,120
maintaining communications between earth

163
00:06:52,469 --> 00:06:49,840
and mars over distances of hundreds of

164
00:06:54,309 --> 00:06:52,479
millions of miles is hard enough but

165
00:06:56,710 --> 00:06:54,319
when the orbital positions of the two

166
00:07:00,150 --> 00:06:56,720
planets places them on opposite sides of

167
00:07:02,390 --> 00:07:00,160
the sun things get very dicey

168
00:07:04,950 --> 00:07:02,400
the sun is by far the most powerful

169
00:07:07,589 --> 00:07:04,960
radio source in the solar system as well

170
00:07:09,670 --> 00:07:07,599
as being extremely hot and bright

171
00:07:12,950 --> 00:07:09,680
this means that there's a danger that a

172
00:07:15,110 --> 00:07:12,960
spacecraft will lock onto the sun during

173
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,120
that conjunction instead of the tracking

174
00:07:19,270 --> 00:07:17,759
signal causing communications to be lost

175
00:07:21,670 --> 00:07:19,280
entirely

176
00:07:23,670 --> 00:07:21,680
even if they are maintained it's a bit

177
00:07:26,070 --> 00:07:23,680
like two people on opposite sides of a

178
00:07:28,469 --> 00:07:26,080
giant arc lamp trying to talk to each

179
00:07:31,909 --> 00:07:28,479
other by flashing morse code from a

180
00:07:33,909 --> 00:07:31,919
couple of pen lights says this writer

181
00:07:36,309 --> 00:07:33,919
even though mars is only in conjunction

182
00:07:38,629 --> 00:07:36,319
for a brief time the sun's corona

183
00:07:41,189 --> 00:07:38,639
extends so far into space that its hot

184
00:07:43,909 --> 00:07:41,199
ionized plasma can still seriously

185
00:07:47,189 --> 00:07:43,919
interfere with signals for days before

186
00:07:49,189 --> 00:07:47,199
and after the event the problem for nasa

187
00:07:51,749 --> 00:07:49,199
and the other space agencies is how to

188
00:07:53,510 --> 00:07:51,759
handle this period of interference

189
00:07:56,790 --> 00:07:53,520
since this is a situation that has

190
00:08:00,469 --> 00:07:56,800
occurred every 26 months since mariner 9

191
00:08:02,790 --> 00:08:00,479
went into orbit around mars back in 1971

192
00:08:05,430 --> 00:08:02,800
the standard procedure is to partly

193
00:08:07,990 --> 00:08:05,440
suspend communications from earth during

194
00:08:10,629 --> 00:08:08,000
this time the orbiters and landers are

195
00:08:12,710 --> 00:08:10,639
put into autonomous mode carrying out

196
00:08:15,029 --> 00:08:12,720
only basic duties while sending

197
00:08:16,070 --> 00:08:15,039
telemetry data and status reports back

198
00:08:18,869 --> 00:08:16,080
to earth

199
00:08:21,189 --> 00:08:18,879
meanwhile mission control plays it very

200
00:08:22,790 --> 00:08:21,199
safe by not sending any commands that

201
00:08:25,189 --> 00:08:22,800
might be misinterpreted by the

202
00:08:27,749 --> 00:08:25,199
spacecraft's computers and caused them

203
00:08:31,110 --> 00:08:27,759
to do something stupid such as drive off

204
00:08:34,070 --> 00:08:31,120
a cliff or shut down their power systems

205
00:08:36,550 --> 00:08:34,080
here's a quote from hoppy price price is

206
00:08:38,870 --> 00:08:36,560
the mars program chief engineer out of

207
00:08:41,750 --> 00:08:38,880
jet propulsion laboratory in pasadena

208
00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:41,760
california quote the vehicles will stay

209
00:08:46,630 --> 00:08:44,240
active carrying out commands sent in

210
00:08:48,630 --> 00:08:46,640
advance orbiters will be making their

211
00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:48,640
science observations and transmitting

212
00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:51,279
data the rovers won't be driving but

213
00:08:56,630 --> 00:08:53,040
observations and measurements will

214
00:08:59,590 --> 00:08:56,640
continue end quotes so in spite of that

215
00:09:01,829 --> 00:08:59,600
outage not all is lost

216
00:09:05,509 --> 00:09:01,839
here's something interesting that was

217
00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:05,519
found it's from openminds.tv

218
00:09:11,110 --> 00:09:07,279
here's the headline witness says

219
00:09:14,870 --> 00:09:11,120
cloaking ufo had united states air force

220
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:14,880
insignia this is posted by roger marsh

221
00:09:20,150 --> 00:09:17,600
a california witness at moore park

222
00:09:22,949 --> 00:09:20,160
reported watching an odd object with

223
00:09:26,550 --> 00:09:22,959
cloaking abilities with the words united

224
00:09:28,389 --> 00:09:26,560
states air force zero zero three on its

225
00:09:30,310 --> 00:09:28,399
tail stabilizer

226
00:09:33,030 --> 00:09:30,320
this comes according to testimony in

227
00:09:36,070 --> 00:09:33,040
case eight four six zero one from the

228
00:09:37,269 --> 00:09:36,080
mutual ufo network mufon their reporting

229
00:09:39,110 --> 00:09:37,279
database

230
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:39,120
the witness was sitting in a restaurant

231
00:09:46,389 --> 00:09:42,959
drive-through lane at 11 24 a.m on june

232
00:09:47,190 --> 00:09:46,399
25th 2017 when the incident occurred

233
00:09:50,470 --> 00:09:47,200
quote

234
00:09:52,870 --> 00:09:50,480
looking right at it my eyes hurt to look

235
00:09:55,829 --> 00:09:52,880
at it end quotes the witness stated

236
00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:55,839
quote it was using some kind of neural

237
00:09:59,269 --> 00:09:57,279
confusion

238
00:10:01,110 --> 00:09:59,279
that was like trying to look at a needle

239
00:10:02,550 --> 00:10:01,120
coming at your eye

240
00:10:05,190 --> 00:10:02,560
this thing gave off some type of

241
00:10:07,350 --> 00:10:05,200
electrical interference and it seemed to

242
00:10:10,470 --> 00:10:07,360
rotate radially even though it was

243
00:10:13,190 --> 00:10:10,480
stationary it looked big enough to hold

244
00:10:14,710 --> 00:10:13,200
one or two people end quotes the witness

245
00:10:16,710 --> 00:10:14,720
stated that there were letters and

246
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:16,720
numbers on that object that were

247
00:10:20,150 --> 00:10:17,760
readable

248
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:20,160
he said quote i could very clearly see

249
00:10:27,910 --> 00:10:23,040
on that tail stabilizer united states

250
00:10:29,350 --> 00:10:27,920
air force or the initials usaf003

251
00:10:31,829 --> 00:10:29,360
in white paint

252
00:10:34,310 --> 00:10:31,839
they were bright silver fixtures and

253
00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:34,320
they had solid beacon lights which were

254
00:10:37,190 --> 00:10:35,279
white

255
00:10:38,630 --> 00:10:37,200
the tail moved independent of the

256
00:10:41,750 --> 00:10:38,640
fuselage

257
00:10:44,949 --> 00:10:41,760
there was a cockpit windscreen canopy it

258
00:10:47,910 --> 00:10:44,959
was non-reflective silver material and

259
00:10:50,550 --> 00:10:47,920
it had a very odd indentation

260
00:10:53,269 --> 00:10:50,560
it looked like a cookie sheet with a

261
00:10:56,470 --> 00:10:53,279
larger section around it to extend it

262
00:10:57,750 --> 00:10:56,480
almost like a top hat end quotes

263
00:11:00,389 --> 00:10:57,760
the witness seemed to think that the

264
00:11:03,030 --> 00:11:00,399
object was cloaking itself

265
00:11:06,389 --> 00:11:03,040
quote the electrical interference seemed

266
00:11:09,750 --> 00:11:06,399
to pick up it disturbed another one just

267
00:11:12,550 --> 00:11:09,760
like it that was in formation next to it

268
00:11:15,829 --> 00:11:12,560
and i could see an illusion effect and

269
00:11:17,990 --> 00:11:15,839
then nothing as the cloak re-engaged and

270
00:11:19,750 --> 00:11:18,000
they were both gone

271
00:11:23,350 --> 00:11:19,760
there was an audible pulse-like

272
00:11:25,590 --> 00:11:23,360
concussion as well i said holy blank and

273
00:11:28,069 --> 00:11:25,600
it went over the microphone to the

274
00:11:30,030 --> 00:11:28,079
drive-through guy and he said hold on

275
00:11:32,230 --> 00:11:30,040
and it definitely changed the

276
00:11:34,389 --> 00:11:32,240
electromagnetism around us

277
00:11:36,710 --> 00:11:34,399
something felt off

278
00:11:38,630 --> 00:11:36,720
the air was empty

279
00:11:40,870 --> 00:11:38,640
it felt like a rug had been pulled out

280
00:11:42,550 --> 00:11:40,880
from underneath the air

281
00:11:44,790 --> 00:11:42,560
it's hard to explain

282
00:11:46,949 --> 00:11:44,800
these objects were about 400 feet above

283
00:11:49,910 --> 00:11:46,959
the 118 overpass in moore park

284
00:11:51,190 --> 00:11:49,920
california i swear by this statement and

285
00:11:54,630 --> 00:11:51,200
its truth

286
00:11:56,710 --> 00:11:54,640
the metal looked old it was matte like

287
00:11:58,069 --> 00:11:56,720
it didn't pick up any light like high

288
00:12:00,069 --> 00:11:58,079
gloss paint

289
00:12:03,110 --> 00:12:00,079
since i got home i've been going through

290
00:12:05,829 --> 00:12:03,120
books it's good to know that it's us

291
00:12:08,550 --> 00:12:05,839
that has this stuff and quotes

292
00:12:10,790 --> 00:12:08,560
it's way back wednesday and boy have we

293
00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:10,800
got a story for you

294
00:12:15,990 --> 00:12:13,600
the information comes by way of our man

295
00:12:18,470 --> 00:12:16,000
in the high castle where does he find

296
00:12:20,949 --> 00:12:18,480
this stuff it was completely new to this

297
00:12:23,110 --> 00:12:20,959
broadcaster and perhaps it will be to

298
00:12:25,430 --> 00:12:23,120
you too gentle listeners we've got

299
00:12:27,670 --> 00:12:25,440
content from a couple of different sites

300
00:12:30,110 --> 00:12:27,680
the first one takes it a little bit more

301
00:12:32,310 --> 00:12:30,120
seriously it's from

302
00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:32,320
ufocasebook.com this material was

303
00:12:36,710 --> 00:12:34,720
compiled by richard hall

304
00:12:40,389 --> 00:12:36,720
it concerns two separate military

305
00:12:42,829 --> 00:12:40,399
facilities fort dix and fort mcguire now

306
00:12:46,230 --> 00:12:42,839
for clarity these installations were

307
00:12:48,710 --> 00:12:46,240
16.1 miles approximately apart both

308
00:12:51,190 --> 00:12:48,720
located outside the city of trenton new

309
00:12:53,430 --> 00:12:51,200
jersey both sites were ultimately

310
00:12:54,949 --> 00:12:53,440
combined but at this point they were

311
00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:54,959
somewhat separate

312
00:12:59,030 --> 00:12:57,040
here is the case

313
00:13:03,509 --> 00:12:59,040
during the early morning hours of

314
00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:03,519
january 18 1978 ufos were cited flying

315
00:13:09,190 --> 00:13:07,040
over fort dix and maguire air force base

316
00:13:11,910 --> 00:13:09,200
adjacent military bases

317
00:13:14,790 --> 00:13:11,920
shortly afterward an air force security

318
00:13:17,590 --> 00:13:14,800
patrol was ordered to the back gate of

319
00:13:20,150 --> 00:13:17,600
maguire air force base to allow entry to

320
00:13:22,310 --> 00:13:20,160
new jersey state police who were

321
00:13:24,389 --> 00:13:22,320
searching for something

322
00:13:27,269 --> 00:13:24,399
one of the airmen on duty was sergeant

323
00:13:29,829 --> 00:13:27,279
jeff morse that's a pseudonym

324
00:13:32,870 --> 00:13:29,839
the state trooper told morse that a fort

325
00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:32,880
dix military police member was pursuing

326
00:13:36,629 --> 00:13:35,040
a low-flying object that had hovered

327
00:13:39,670 --> 00:13:36,639
over his car

328
00:13:42,389 --> 00:13:39,680
and then a small being with a large head

329
00:13:43,590 --> 00:13:42,399
and slender body appeared in front of

330
00:13:46,550 --> 00:13:43,600
his car

331
00:13:50,550 --> 00:13:46,560
the mp had panicked and shot the alien

332
00:13:52,069 --> 00:13:50,560
several times with a 45 automatic

333
00:13:54,790 --> 00:13:52,079
the being had fled over the fence

334
00:13:57,509 --> 00:13:54,800
between the two bases before falling and

335
00:13:59,910 --> 00:13:57,519
dying on the deserted runway

336
00:14:03,350 --> 00:13:59,920
sergeant jeff morse and his colleagues

337
00:14:05,189 --> 00:14:03,360
found the body lying on the runway

338
00:14:08,389 --> 00:14:05,199
as they followed routine procedure and

339
00:14:12,069 --> 00:14:08,399
roped off the area of the crime scene

340
00:14:14,710 --> 00:14:12,079
other blue beret forces unfamiliar to

341
00:14:17,670 --> 00:14:14,720
morse and his companion took over

342
00:14:19,590 --> 00:14:17,680
morse was relegated to a backup role but

343
00:14:21,509 --> 00:14:19,600
he could see from a slight distance away

344
00:14:23,110 --> 00:14:21,519
what was happening

345
00:14:25,750 --> 00:14:23,120
later that day a team from

346
00:14:30,389 --> 00:14:25,760
wright-patterson air force base in ohio

347
00:14:33,189 --> 00:14:30,399
arrived in a c-141 cargo aircraft crated

348
00:14:34,230 --> 00:14:33,199
up the body loaded it on board and took

349
00:14:36,230 --> 00:14:34,240
off

350
00:14:38,150 --> 00:14:36,240
morris and his companion were warned not

351
00:14:40,150 --> 00:14:38,160
to talk about the incident or they would

352
00:14:43,030 --> 00:14:40,160
be court-martialed

353
00:14:45,430 --> 00:14:43,040
two days later sergeant jeff morse and

354
00:14:47,430 --> 00:14:45,440
other participants were taken to

355
00:14:49,030 --> 00:14:47,440
wright-patterson air force base where

356
00:14:51,910 --> 00:14:49,040
they underwent intimidating

357
00:14:54,629 --> 00:14:51,920
interrogation and were again warned not

358
00:14:56,310 --> 00:14:54,639
to talk about the incident

359
00:14:58,550 --> 00:14:56,320
morse supplied the names of the

360
00:15:01,189 --> 00:14:58,560
interrogation team taken from their name

361
00:15:03,189 --> 00:15:01,199
badges and apparently okay keep your

362
00:15:06,629 --> 00:15:03,199
eyes closed okay i want to show you my

363
00:15:08,629 --> 00:15:06,639
first ever painting all right okay

364
00:15:11,189 --> 00:15:08,639
open your eyes oh

365
00:15:13,670 --> 00:15:11,199
that's a lot of colors

366
00:15:16,470 --> 00:15:13,680
and shades so be honest what do you

367
00:15:17,990 --> 00:15:16,480
think well uh i like how

368
00:15:19,750 --> 00:15:18,000
if you switch to geico you could save

369
00:15:22,790 --> 00:15:19,760
hundreds of dollars on car insurance oh

370
00:15:25,030 --> 00:15:22,800
yeah that's that's true yeah here why

371
00:15:27,750 --> 00:15:25,040
don't i hold your paintbrush while you

372
00:15:29,829 --> 00:15:27,760
call them geico because saving 15 or

373
00:15:32,069 --> 00:15:29,839
more on car insurance is always a great

374
00:15:34,389 --> 00:15:32,079
answer according to this article their

375
00:15:37,350 --> 00:15:34,399
identities have been verified

376
00:15:39,990 --> 00:15:37,360
sergeant jeff morse reported quote they

377
00:15:42,150 --> 00:15:40,000
told me about my duty to keep my mouth

378
00:15:44,550 --> 00:15:42,160
shut i signed a form and it's supposed

379
00:15:46,310 --> 00:15:44,560
to bind me for life

380
00:15:48,870 --> 00:15:46,320
shortly after returning to maguire air

381
00:15:51,189 --> 00:15:48,880
force base morse was debriefed by his

382
00:15:52,790 --> 00:15:51,199
commanding officer and although that

383
00:15:54,949 --> 00:15:52,800
lieutenant colonel's name is not

384
00:15:57,749 --> 00:15:54,959
published here it is also known

385
00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:57,759
apparently and after that jeff morse

386
00:16:02,310 --> 00:16:00,399
heard no more about the incident

387
00:16:05,189 --> 00:16:02,320
shortly thereafter each of the airmen

388
00:16:07,670 --> 00:16:05,199
who'd been involved was transferred to a

389
00:16:10,150 --> 00:16:07,680
separate overseas base

390
00:16:12,310 --> 00:16:10,160
ultimately sergeant jeff morse was

391
00:16:14,710 --> 00:16:12,320
shipped to okinawa

392
00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:14,720
the author richard hall has met with

393
00:16:19,350 --> 00:16:17,199
morse face to face several times talked

394
00:16:22,310 --> 00:16:19,360
with him on the telephone numerous times

395
00:16:24,870 --> 00:16:22,320
and considers him completely credible he

396
00:16:27,110 --> 00:16:24,880
has cooperated fully answering all of

397
00:16:29,509 --> 00:16:27,120
the questions to the best of his ability

398
00:16:32,069 --> 00:16:29,519
and he's agreed to meet and talk further

399
00:16:33,590 --> 00:16:32,079
with various colleagues of richard hall

400
00:16:35,350 --> 00:16:33,600
the author here

401
00:16:37,110 --> 00:16:35,360
he's given a formal deposition on the

402
00:16:39,269 --> 00:16:37,120
incident in the presence of several

403
00:16:42,230 --> 00:16:39,279
witnesses and was subjected to

404
00:16:44,870 --> 00:16:42,240
questioning on the specific details

405
00:16:47,030 --> 00:16:44,880
as a direct consequence of innocently

406
00:16:50,069 --> 00:16:47,040
being in the wrong place at the wrong

407
00:16:52,069 --> 00:16:50,079
time sergeant jeff morse again not his

408
00:16:54,230 --> 00:16:52,079
real name has been harassed and

409
00:16:55,590 --> 00:16:54,240
threatened and his reputation has been

410
00:16:58,389 --> 00:16:55,600
defamed to the point that he had

411
00:17:00,310 --> 00:16:58,399
difficulty finding employment in the law

412
00:17:02,389 --> 00:17:00,320
enforcement field

413
00:17:05,590 --> 00:17:02,399
another witness to this extraordinary

414
00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:05,600
event is george filer major united

415
00:17:10,069 --> 00:17:07,439
states army retired

416
00:17:11,750 --> 00:17:10,079
is that a familiar name well perhaps due

417
00:17:16,630 --> 00:17:11,760
to the fact that he has an amazing

418
00:17:18,549 --> 00:17:16,640
website the filer files ufos etc he was

419
00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,559
stationed at maguire air force base in

420
00:17:22,789 --> 00:17:20,160
1978

421
00:17:24,390 --> 00:17:22,799
serving as an intelligence officer one

422
00:17:26,470 --> 00:17:24,400
of his duties was to brief the

423

commanding general

424
00:17:30,150 --> 00:17:28,400
while george filer was not on duty at

425
00:17:33,110 --> 00:17:30,160
the time of this incident the next

426
00:17:35,510 --> 00:17:33,120
morning he heard talk about the alien

427
00:17:36,630 --> 00:17:35,520
body and he saw a lot of unusual

428
00:17:38,710 --> 00:17:36,640
activity

429
00:17:40,870 --> 00:17:38,720
he's prepared to testify on what he

430
00:17:43,270 --> 00:17:40,880
knows firsthand and what he's learned

431
00:17:46,549 --> 00:17:43,280
since about the incident

432
00:17:49,830 --> 00:17:46,559
in fact abc news caitlyn ramer in

433
00:17:53,029 --> 00:17:49,840
washington and david rupp in new york

434
00:17:56,310 --> 00:17:53,039
put this together filer's statement

435
00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:56,320
former air force major george filer iii

436
00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,080
has told reporters that when he was at

437
00:18:03,590 --> 00:18:00,559
mcguire air force base in new jersey

438
00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:03,600
an alien craft came down and an alien

439
00:18:09,270 --> 00:18:06,160
got out and was shot by a military

440
00:18:11,430 --> 00:18:09,280
policeman quote our security police went

441
00:18:15,029 --> 00:18:11,440
out there and found him at the end of

442
00:18:17,029 --> 00:18:15,039
the runway dead end quotes filer said

443
00:18:19,669 --> 00:18:17,039
quote they asked me to brief the general

444
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:19,679
staff end quotes he said but later he

445
00:18:23,430 --> 00:18:21,360
was told not to

446
00:18:25,029 --> 00:18:23,440
he said he would tell the story in front

447
00:18:27,669 --> 00:18:25,039
of congress

448
00:18:30,230 --> 00:18:27,679
filer isn't new to ufo sightings this

449
00:18:33,430 --> 00:18:30,240
article mentions his own website filer's

450
00:18:35,990 --> 00:18:33,440
files where he says also that an alien

451
00:18:38,230 --> 00:18:36,000
ship was chased over england when he was

452
00:18:39,990 --> 00:18:38,240
flying for the united states air force

453
00:18:43,750 --> 00:18:40,000
he said quote i personally have

454
00:18:46,070 --> 00:18:43,760
witnessed a ufo both visually and on

455
00:18:47,830 --> 00:18:46,080
radar and i've been chasing them ever

456
00:18:50,710 --> 00:18:47,840
since end quotes

457
00:18:53,909 --> 00:18:50,720
now let's segue to an article from 1985

458
00:18:56,070 --> 00:18:53,919
written by leonard h springfield

459
00:18:59,590 --> 00:18:56,080
the headlines the fatal encounter at

460
00:19:02,470 --> 00:18:59,600
fort dix maguire a case study

461
00:19:04,310 --> 00:19:02,480
here is a description from that study of

462
00:19:06,870 --> 00:19:04,320
the humanoid

463
00:19:09,669 --> 00:19:06,880
at varying times during his patrol duty

464
00:19:12,150 --> 00:19:09,679
sergeant jeff morse was within 40 to 70

465
00:19:14,470 --> 00:19:12,160
feet from the prostrate body on the

466
00:19:16,230 --> 00:19:14,480
abandoned runway number five

467
00:19:19,190 --> 00:19:16,240
never close enough to observe details

468
00:19:21,909 --> 00:19:19,200
such as facial features or its hands and

469
00:19:24,070 --> 00:19:21,919
feet he did recall that under the glare

470
00:19:27,590 --> 00:19:24,080
of truck headlights the skin of the

471
00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:27,600
unclad hairless body was wet shiny and

472
00:19:31,270 --> 00:19:29,120
snake-like

473
00:19:33,029 --> 00:19:31,280
as reported in his initial letter the

474
00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:33,039
entity was about four feet in height

475
00:19:39,830 --> 00:19:36,240
with a large head slender torso thin

476
00:19:41,750 --> 00:19:39,840
arms and legs and overall of a grayish

477
00:19:44,950 --> 00:19:41,760
brown coloration

478
00:19:47,110 --> 00:19:44,960
unquestionably not human it was however

479
00:19:49,270 --> 00:19:47,120
of humanoid stature fitting the

480
00:19:51,510 --> 00:19:49,280
anatomical description so often heard

481
00:19:53,990 --> 00:19:51,520
from military sources who've made claims

482
00:19:56,549 --> 00:19:54,000
to having seen entities at crash sites

483
00:19:58,630 --> 00:19:56,559
and defined coincidentally by a medical

484
00:20:03,350 --> 00:19:58,640
source who allegedly performed an

485
00:20:06,390 --> 00:20:03,360
autopsy on a specimen in the early 1950s

486
00:20:09,190 --> 00:20:06,400
always pressing for details the writer

487
00:20:11,669 --> 00:20:09,200
here leonard h springfield preferred the

488
00:20:13,909 --> 00:20:11,679
notion that maguire's corpse could have

489
00:20:16,230 --> 00:20:13,919
been that of a wild animal a deer

490
00:20:19,270 --> 00:20:16,240
perhaps or an escaped ape from some

491
00:20:21,830 --> 00:20:19,280
military experimentation lab or zoo

492
00:20:24,950 --> 00:20:21,840
to this sergeant jeff morse replied

493
00:20:27,350 --> 00:20:24,960
quote no zoo nearby we did have a

494
00:20:29,750 --> 00:20:27,360
problem with deer on the runway but no

495
00:20:31,590 --> 00:20:29,760
one ever made such a big fuss over a

496
00:20:33,110 --> 00:20:31,600
deer end quotes

497
00:20:35,110 --> 00:20:33,120
the only other anomaly that morse

498
00:20:37,750 --> 00:20:35,120
attributed to the presence of the body

499
00:20:39,190 --> 00:20:37,760
was the strong smell of ammonia in the

500
00:20:41,830 --> 00:20:39,200
cold night air

501
00:20:43,270 --> 00:20:41,840
that same odor has been present at other

502
00:20:45,350 --> 00:20:43,280
crash sites

503
00:20:48,149 --> 00:20:45,360
in his article writer leonard h

504
00:20:51,270 --> 00:20:48,159
springfield includes morse's description

505
00:20:53,510 --> 00:20:51,280
of the retrieval operation it seemed to

506
00:20:56,470 --> 00:20:53,520
go something like this

507
00:20:59,830 --> 00:20:56,480
it was maximum security said sergeant

508
00:21:02,310 --> 00:20:59,840
jeff morse who alone in his patrol car

509
00:21:04,950 --> 00:21:02,320
received word by radio that a state of

510
00:21:07,669 --> 00:21:04,960
alert was in effect at maguire as a

511
00:21:09,350 --> 00:21:07,679
result of a shooting incident

512
00:21:11,029 --> 00:21:09,360
he was ordered to gate number five to

513
00:21:13,669 --> 00:21:11,039
answer the request of a state police

514
00:21:16,549 --> 00:21:13,679
officer that officer had been running

515
00:21:19,110 --> 00:21:16,559
code with the mp during his encounter at

516
00:21:20,070 --> 00:21:19,120
fort dix he wanted admission to the air

517
00:21:22,310 --> 00:21:20,080
base

518
00:21:24,149 --> 00:21:22,320
morse was ordered to comply

519
00:21:26,230 --> 00:21:24,159
but when the trooper wanted to get

520
00:21:29,190 --> 00:21:26,240
closer to the runway he wasn't allowed

521
00:21:31,590 --> 00:21:29,200
to do so and he was angry

522
00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:31,600
on orders by radio morse was told that

523
00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:34,480
all personnel including morse and other

524
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:37,039
members of his security police unit were

525
00:21:41,190 --> 00:21:39,520
restricted from entering into that roped

526
00:21:43,909 --> 00:21:41,200
off zone

527
00:21:46,549 --> 00:21:43,919
taking command was a new and unfamiliar

528
00:21:49,029 --> 00:21:46,559
team of blue berets who had suddenly

529
00:21:51,830 --> 00:21:49,039
descended onto the scene just moments

530
00:21:53,830 --> 00:21:51,840
after the runway had been cordoned off

531
00:21:56,710 --> 00:21:53,840
with speed and efficiency quote they

532
00:21:58,950 --> 00:21:56,720
took over end quotes he said and when

533
00:22:01,590 --> 00:21:58,960
asked who they were quote we were told

534
00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:01,600
nothing and ordered to stay outside the

535
00:22:05,830 --> 00:22:03,520
ropes and quotes

536
00:22:07,669 --> 00:22:05,840
perplexed by this covert action

537
00:22:10,310 --> 00:22:07,679
sergeant jeff morse noted that all of

538
00:22:13,669 --> 00:22:10,320
them were staff sergeants and up wearing

539
00:22:16,070 --> 00:22:13,679
fatigues no patches no insignia

540
00:22:18,710 --> 00:22:16,080
and as for headgear he said quote they

541
00:22:19,990 --> 00:22:18,720
wore blue berets just like mine and

542
00:22:22,149 --> 00:22:20,000
quotes

543
00:22:24,870 --> 00:22:22,159
in one letter morse vaguely speculated

544
00:22:27,510 --> 00:22:24,880
these were undercover cops and later by

545
00:22:29,750 --> 00:22:27,520
phone he said he felt certain they were

546
00:22:31,110 --> 00:22:29,760
stationed somewhere at maguire to

547
00:22:32,470 --> 00:22:31,120
account for their quick deployment to

548
00:22:34,390 --> 00:22:32,480
the runway

549
00:22:36,870 --> 00:22:34,400
in support of this when asked if

550
00:22:40,149 --> 00:22:36,880
helicopters were seen or heard overhead

551
00:22:42,870 --> 00:22:40,159
or landed on or near the scene his reply

552
00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,880
was negative this it seems would rule

553
00:22:47,190 --> 00:22:44,320
out any notion that they'd been

554
00:22:49,430 --> 00:22:47,200
transported from an outside base this

555
00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:49,440
blue beard team

556
00:22:53,590 --> 00:22:51,360
it also strengthened the belief of this

557
00:22:56,070 --> 00:22:53,600
writer that a ufo had not crashed or

558
00:22:57,830 --> 00:22:56,080
been disabled nearby requiring close

559
00:23:01,190 --> 00:22:57,840
tactical air support

560
00:23:04,070 --> 00:23:01,200
but what of a landed craft perhaps one

561
00:23:06,470 --> 00:23:04,080
