on Netflix where they're 44 00:02:12,890 --> 00:02:09,660 releasing it in the series and episode 2 45 00:02:14,750 --> 00:02:12,900 was the case that I previously worked on 46 00:02:16,550 --> 00:02:14,760 and found out I was cut from a couple 47 00:02:18,830 --> 00:02:16,560 weeks ago but it's about uh the like 48 00:02:22,850 --> 00:02:18,840 Mission case of 1994. 49 00:02:24,530 --> 00:02:22,860 and while I thought they stuck to the 50 00:02:25,970 --> 00:02:24,540 facts mostly there was one interesting 51 00:02:27,470 --> 00:02:25,980 claim that I had never heard that came 52 00:02:29,930 --> 00:02:27,480 out and it seems to be kind of the big 53 00:02:32,330 --> 00:02:29,940 one that's getting uh pushed around I've 54 00:02:35,449 --> 00:02:32,340 seen Jeremy Corbell retweeted I've seen 55 00:02:37,250 --> 00:02:35,459 um colavito uh posting about an article 56 00:02:40,190 --> 00:02:37,260 with a conversation in the director 57 00:02:43,250 --> 00:02:40,200 talking about UFOs looking for water 58 00:02:44,930 --> 00:02:43,260 and um as I was seeing this come out I 59 00:02:46,850 --> 00:02:44,940 watched the episode the morning it came 60 00:02:48,050 --> 00:02:46,860 out and I was uh kind of looking at the 61 00:02:50,630 --> 00:02:48,060 posts 62 00:02:52,070 --> 00:02:50,640 and this new claim about 63 00:02:54,170 --> 00:02:52,080 um a couple 64 00:02:57,229 --> 00:02:54,180 uh camping on the beach at midnight and 65 00:02:59,089 --> 00:02:57,239 seeing a UFO sucking up the water 66 00:03:01,610 --> 00:02:59,099 I thought was really odd because this is 67 00:03:04,790 --> 00:03:01,620 a new this is a new claim to the case 68 00:03:07,309 --> 00:03:04,800 this hasn't been reported before and it 69 00:03:09,770 --> 00:03:07,319 at least the show heavily implies that 70 00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:09,780 this uh this encounter came from 71 00:03:14,270 --> 00:03:10,980 Virginia Tilly one of the original 72 00:03:15,830 --> 00:03:14,280 investigators if you remember I was 73 00:03:18,229 --> 00:03:15,840 going to say this before you before you 74 00:03:19,550 --> 00:03:18,239 dive into like this particular thing can 75 00:03:21,890 --> 00:03:19,560 you give us just like a couple of minute 76 00:03:26,589 --> 00:03:21,900 overview of this case for people the 77 00:03:30,589 --> 00:03:26,599 whole case yes yeah March 8 uh 1994. 78 00:03:32,030 --> 00:03:30,599 multiple ground Witnesses uh see a group 79 00:03:35,690 --> 00:03:32,040 of Lights come together kind of spin 80 00:03:36,290 --> 00:03:35,700 around in a circle and depart now 81 00:03:41,149 --> 00:03:36,300 um 82 00:03:43,309 --> 00:03:41,159 Ottawa County dispatch and uh this 83 00:03:45,350 --> 00:03:43,319 conversation was recorded so we're able 84 00:03:47,630 --> 00:03:45,360 to kind of pinpoint where this thing was 85 00:03:49,190 --> 00:03:47,640 related to the ground witness seeing it 86 00:03:51,289 --> 00:03:49,200 the police end up showing up about 10 87 00:03:54,410 --> 00:03:51,299 minutes later confirms it tries to 88 00:03:56,869 --> 00:03:54,420 follow it due to all this uh all these 89 00:03:58,369 --> 00:03:56,879 911 calls about this UFO flying over the 90 00:03:59,030 --> 00:03:58,379 neighborhood in Holland Michigan by the 91 00:04:00,289 --> 00:03:59,040 way 92 00:04:02,149 --> 00:04:00,299 um they call the National Weather 93 00:04:05,089 --> 00:04:02,159 Service which is just about 30 miles 94 00:04:06,890 --> 00:04:05,099 north in Muskegon and the radar operator 95 00:04:09,289 --> 00:04:06,900 there the weather radar operator Jack 96 00:04:10,910 --> 00:04:09,299 Bouchon starts picking up anomalous 97 00:04:12,949 --> 00:04:10,920 Returns on his radar throughout the 98 00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:12,959 whole night and his conversation is also 99 00:04:17,449 --> 00:04:14,640 recorded on that tape 100 00:04:19,069 --> 00:04:17,459 so we have a a pretty well witnessed 101 00:04:22,009 --> 00:04:19,079 case as I like to say it and Michael 102 00:04:24,230 --> 00:04:22,019 borrowing from Michael's swords um 103 00:04:25,689 --> 00:04:24,240 what I like about the 911 call is that 104 00:04:28,310 --> 00:04:25,699 it's recording these eyewitness 105 00:04:30,890 --> 00:04:28,320 testimonies in real time so they can 106 00:04:32,570 --> 00:04:30,900 kind of corroborate each other and they 107 00:04:34,490 --> 00:04:32,580 aren't subject to 108 00:04:36,770 --> 00:04:34,500 um exaggeration or misremembering over 109 00:04:38,629 --> 00:04:36,780 the years which you do see from talking 110 00:04:39,770 --> 00:04:38,639 to these Witnesses this is a 30 year old 111 00:04:41,990 --> 00:04:39,780 case 112 00:04:44,210 --> 00:04:42,000 so this new episode kind of explores 113 00:04:46,850 --> 00:04:44,220 that and uh Jack Bouchon the weather 114 00:04:48,740 --> 00:04:46,860 radar operator kind of exploring this 115 00:04:49,310 --> 00:04:48,750 case trying to figure it out 116 00:04:49,969 --> 00:04:49,320 [Music] 117 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:49,979 um 118 00:04:54,530 --> 00:04:53,040 so when I first came back into the UFO 119 00:04:55,790 --> 00:04:54,540 scene this was the first case I started 120 00:04:57,170 --> 00:04:55,800 researching 121 00:04:59,090 --> 00:04:57,180 um I reached out to a lot of the 122 00:05:01,129 --> 00:04:59,100 witnesses including Jack and Holly 123 00:05:02,330 --> 00:05:01,139 Graves who was featured on the show I 124 00:05:03,650 --> 00:05:02,340 was never able to get a hold of Virginia 125 00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:03,660 Tilley 126 00:05:07,969 --> 00:05:05,160 but um 127 00:05:10,129 --> 00:05:07,979 in dealing with them uh they mentioned 128 00:05:12,290 --> 00:05:10,139 that they were also speaking with a 129 00:05:13,730 --> 00:05:12,300 producer from rum salt Mysteries and we 130 00:05:16,370 --> 00:05:13,740 ended up connecting 131 00:05:18,409 --> 00:05:16,380 and a lot of that work that we did 132 00:05:21,290 --> 00:05:18,419 um before filming there was a lot of 133 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:21,300 phone calls going on kind of um 134 00:05:25,070 --> 00:05:23,820 just information finding research 135 00:05:27,170 --> 00:05:25,080 um stuff like that a lot of them were 136 00:05:28,730 --> 00:05:27,180 recorded and occasionally I would speak 137 00:05:30,529 --> 00:05:28,740 to Jack on the phone and the producers 138 00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:30,539 would record that too 139 00:05:35,570 --> 00:05:32,520 that's where and I I'm pretty sure I can 140 00:05:37,550 --> 00:05:35,580 say this I don't think ndas uh hold out 141 00:05:38,870 --> 00:05:37,560 now that the episode's out 142 00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:38,880 um one thing that Jack was mentioning to 143 00:05:42,350 --> 00:05:40,620 me was that a portion of Lake Michigan 144 00:05:43,450 --> 00:05:42,360 in the southern portion just next to 145 00:05:46,010 --> 00:05:43,460 Chicago 146 00:05:48,409 --> 00:05:46,020 was uh the only part of the lake that 147 00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:48,419 was unfrozen and on that call I said oh 148 00:05:52,189 --> 00:05:50,460 well I believe that the NOAA keeps ice 149 00:05:54,350 --> 00:05:52,199 records of ice fishing or Lake Michigan 150 00:05:56,270 --> 00:05:54,360 all the ice covers so we looked that up 151 00:05:57,290 --> 00:05:56,280 that was kind of part of the discovery 152 00:06:00,110 --> 00:05:57,300 of this 153 00:06:03,890 --> 00:06:00,120 now move into filming um 154 00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:03,900 what they really focused on was uh as a 155 00:06:07,189 --> 00:06:05,460 researcher what I was looking for in 156 00:06:09,230 --> 00:06:07,199 this case I mean it's 30 year old case a 157 00:06:12,770 --> 00:06:09,240 lot of the stuff's already out there 158 00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:12,780 and uh my main point was trying to 159 00:06:16,790 --> 00:06:15,000 um match up what the ground people on 160 00:06:18,409 --> 00:06:16,800 the ground saw with the radar sightings 161 00:06:20,810 --> 00:06:18,419 because we can't conclusively link these 162 00:06:22,610 --> 00:06:20,820 yet because you don't have like a moment 163 00:06:24,230 --> 00:06:22,620 where that we know of there was on the 164 00:06:27,170 --> 00:06:24,240 ground and people see it and he saw it 165 00:06:29,450 --> 00:06:27,180 on the radar so that was kind of like 166 00:06:31,309 --> 00:06:29,460 the goal and it was like heavily 167 00:06:33,590 --> 00:06:31,319 stressed now 168 00:06:35,270 --> 00:06:33,600 um in my questioning 169 00:06:36,950 --> 00:06:35,280 they kind of like 170 00:06:38,749 --> 00:06:36,960 the director kind of played up like oh 171 00:06:40,790 --> 00:06:38,759 well are there other uh is this like 172 00:06:41,809 --> 00:06:40,800 kind of a hot spot for uh UFOs along 173 00:06:43,689 --> 00:06:41,819 like Michigan do you see them 174 00:06:46,670 --> 00:06:43,699 interacting with the water and I I 175 00:06:48,830 --> 00:06:46,680 rattled off like wine EQ 176 00:06:51,290 --> 00:06:48,840 um back in the 60s even Hudson Valley 177 00:06:54,590 --> 00:06:51,300 had some water related incidents and I 178 00:06:55,850 --> 00:06:54,600 mentioned what Jack and I had seen too 179 00:06:57,290 --> 00:06:55,860 now 180 00:06:58,969 --> 00:06:57,300 um this was a couple of years ago that 181 00:07:00,650 --> 00:06:58,979 we were doing all this uh this research 182 00:07:02,930 --> 00:07:00,660 and the filming and stuff 183 00:07:04,309 --> 00:07:02,940 um a rumor started spreading around 184 00:07:06,230 --> 00:07:04,319 between the 185 00:07:08,270 --> 00:07:06,240 um some of the witnesses who were in the 186 00:07:10,969 --> 00:07:08,280 in the actual episode about a new 187 00:07:12,890 --> 00:07:10,979 witness was found now 188 00:07:15,590 --> 00:07:12,900 come like a year later this episode 189 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:15,600 finally releases and we see um it's at 190 00:07:19,670 --> 00:07:17,280 least heavily implied that Jenny Tilly 191 00:07:21,969 --> 00:07:19,680 finds a witness account from 1994 of 192 00:07:24,589 --> 00:07:21,979 people on the beach like I said camping 193 00:07:25,790 --> 00:07:24,599 March in the middle of the winter in the 194 00:07:27,290 --> 00:07:25,800 middle of the night camping on the beach 195 00:07:30,650 --> 00:07:27,300 I thought that was a little strange and 196 00:07:34,010 --> 00:07:30,660 they see out over the water uh just a 197 00:07:35,629 --> 00:07:34,020 tower of water going up into a light 198 00:07:36,950 --> 00:07:35,639 and I thought this was really strange 199 00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:36,960 especially coming from one of the 200 00:07:39,890 --> 00:07:38,280 original investigators because we 201 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:39,900 haven't heard this claim before 202 00:07:43,610 --> 00:07:42,240 so my take on it was that either it is a 203 00:07:45,890 --> 00:07:43,620 legitimate claim that was made back then 204 00:07:47,150 --> 00:07:45,900 just hasn't been published as we know 205 00:07:48,170 --> 00:07:47,160 there are many things about this case 206 00:07:50,629 --> 00:07:48,180 that haven't been published that were 207 00:07:52,610 --> 00:07:50,639 held onto by move on 208 00:07:54,529 --> 00:07:52,620 but unfortunately we don't have anything 209 00:07:57,230 --> 00:07:54,539 to substantiate it we don't know who 210 00:07:59,809 --> 00:07:57,240 these Witnesses are and uh you know 211 00:08:01,430 --> 00:07:59,819 nothing's matching up with the the phone 212 00:08:02,749 --> 00:08:01,440 call that we have the one piece of 213 00:08:04,309 --> 00:08:02,759 evidence that we can kind of corroborate 214 00:08:06,830 --> 00:08:04,319 these stories 215 00:08:08,450 --> 00:08:06,840 but it started when I when I saw it and 216 00:08:10,129 --> 00:08:08,460 then was I was re-watching and talking 217 00:08:12,050 --> 00:08:10,139 to people on Twitter it started like 218 00:08:16,129 --> 00:08:12,060 really ringing a bell to me 219 00:08:17,870 --> 00:08:16,139 and in 1994 in Australia Gosford Lake 220 00:08:20,629 --> 00:08:17,880 there was a UFO sighting that was 221 00:08:23,390 --> 00:08:20,639 extremely similar to that UFOs over a 222 00:08:26,029 --> 00:08:23,400 body of water sucking it up into there 223 00:08:28,309 --> 00:08:26,039 same year I wonder if it was 224 00:08:29,809 --> 00:08:28,319 maybe a confabulation until he's part 225 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:29,819 from back then I mean she was an active 226 00:08:34,909 --> 00:08:32,880 view of a photo investigator in 1994. I 227 00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:34,919 wonder if some wires got crossed there 228 00:08:41,269 --> 00:08:39,000 but I also kind of um I noticed that the 229 00:08:43,490 --> 00:08:41,279 narrative in the story at that point was 230 00:08:46,010 --> 00:08:43,500 about Jack trying to 231 00:08:47,630 --> 00:08:46,020 link the sightings uh the on the ground 232 00:08:48,829 --> 00:08:47,640 sightings with his radar sightings and 233 00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:48,839 actually he 234 00:08:53,930 --> 00:08:52,260 he says in the the episode this proves 235 00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:53,940 it this is the link I was looking for 236 00:08:58,310 --> 00:08:55,980 however it kind of contradicts the 237 00:09:00,230 --> 00:08:58,320 timeline that even the show established 238 00:09:02,690 --> 00:09:00,240 where 239 00:09:06,350 --> 00:09:02,700 um on the ground sightings were around 9 240 00:09:09,170 --> 00:09:06,360 30 p.m 9 30 to 9 45 p.m that's around 241 00:09:10,670 --> 00:09:09,180 the beginning of when um the dispatcher 242 00:09:12,710 --> 00:09:10,680 calls Jack at the weather service 243 00:09:14,750 --> 00:09:12,720 station he's he tracks these things till 244 00:09:17,030 --> 00:09:14,760 midnight now this claim of this 245 00:09:18,650 --> 00:09:17,040 waterspout UFO uh these Witnesses 246 00:09:21,050 --> 00:09:18,660 allegedly are alleged that this happened 247 00:09:22,850 --> 00:09:21,060 at midnight and they were they were like 248 00:09:25,250 --> 00:09:22,860 right off of Benton Harbor so at the 249 00:09:27,170 --> 00:09:25,260 beginning of the uh the portion with 250 00:09:29,150 --> 00:09:27,180 Jack speaking you can hear him calling 251 00:09:32,269 --> 00:09:29,160 off where his radar is hitting and he 252 00:09:34,730 --> 00:09:32,279 says a lot of it's down right by uh 253 00:09:36,829 --> 00:09:34,740 right by Benton Harbor and Decatur area 254 00:09:38,990 --> 00:09:36,839 in off Lake Michigan but they don't move 255 00:09:41,509 --> 00:09:39,000 to that southern portion until around 11 256 00:09:42,470 --> 00:09:41,519 or midnight when he says they disappear 257 00:09:43,850 --> 00:09:42,480 so I thought that was kind of 258 00:09:46,250 --> 00:09:43,860 interesting I see this 259 00:09:47,870 --> 00:09:46,260 um this claim coming out of nowhere and 260 00:09:51,350 --> 00:09:47,880 getting kind of legs and being added to 261 00:09:53,030 --> 00:09:51,360 the myth of this case when 262 00:09:55,009 --> 00:09:53,040 we don't know where it came from we 263 00:09:57,470 --> 00:09:55,019 don't know if it actually is related to 264 00:09:58,370 --> 00:09:57,480 this case and it certainly doesn't 265 00:09:59,990 --> 00:09:58,380 um 266 00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:00,000 it doesn't confirm this kind of 267 00:10:03,590 --> 00:10:01,620 narrative that they were going to that I 268 00:10:05,150 --> 00:10:03,600 feel a little responsible for kind of 269 00:10:08,090 --> 00:10:05,160 putting onto them too during the 270 00:10:09,829 --> 00:10:08,100 interview process so I said I don't know 271 00:10:11,030 --> 00:10:09,839 I see this I see this claim taking legs 272 00:10:13,730 --> 00:10:11,040 and I kind of wanted to nip it in the 273 00:10:14,630 --> 00:10:13,740 bud uh since I I see it kind of popping 274 00:10:16,790 --> 00:10:14,640 off now 275 00:10:18,110 --> 00:10:16,800 but that's that's my story about the 276 00:10:20,269 --> 00:10:18,120 Lake Michigan case and the Unsolved 277 00:10:22,130 --> 00:10:20,279 Mysteries episode get um yeah I mean 278 00:10:23,990 --> 00:10:22,140 this witness testimony from people came 279 00:10:26,930 --> 00:10:24,000 also seems pretty incredible congruent 280 00:10:32,329 --> 00:10:30,650 yeah right like no I mean like 281 00:10:33,769 --> 00:10:32,339 it's it's really a shame because uh 282 00:10:35,870 --> 00:10:33,779 right in the middle of that episode you 283 00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:35,880 have Bill koncoleski who's the chair of 284 00:10:39,470 --> 00:10:37,980 Michigan mufon come in there and they 285 00:10:42,410 --> 00:10:39,480 talk about mufon and how they 286 00:10:44,630 --> 00:10:42,420 investigated and they take reports from 287 00:10:46,310 --> 00:10:44,640 you know thousands of cases all across 288 00:10:49,009 --> 00:10:46,320 the country blah blah blah 289 00:10:51,530 --> 00:10:49,019 Move On by their own admission has 290 00:10:54,050 --> 00:10:51,540 videos and photos from this case that 291 00:10:55,550 --> 00:10:54,060 they have never released and uh 292 00:10:57,650 --> 00:10:55,560 specifically mentioned in one of their 293 00:10:59,569 --> 00:10:57,660 journals is a video from a woman in 294 00:11:02,030 --> 00:10:59,579 Marcellus which is right next to Decatur 295 00:11:04,310 --> 00:11:02,040 and she said she was filming this thing 296 00:11:07,370 --> 00:11:04,320 around that 9 30 297 00:11:08,930 --> 00:11:07,380 uh time frame so I think that would go a 298 00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:08,940 lot further in establishing the link 299 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,680 between the on the ground Witnesses with 300 00:11:13,730 --> 00:11:12,240 the radar sightings 301 00:11:15,650 --> 00:11:13,740 but they're still sitting on it and he 302 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:15,660 had a perfect opportunity being in that 303 00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:17,820 show to present that evidence but we 304 00:11:22,910 --> 00:11:20,160 never got to see it we have any reason 305 00:11:25,310 --> 00:11:22,920 why mufon isn't releasing any of this or 306 00:11:27,650 --> 00:11:25,320 hasn't released any of it are there any 307 00:11:30,170 --> 00:11:27,660 good conspiracies at least I don't know 308 00:11:31,970 --> 00:11:30,180 I don't know the the explanation I got 309 00:11:34,550 --> 00:11:31,980 from bill concoleski when I when I 310 00:11:36,290 --> 00:11:34,560 called him was mufon likes to present 311 00:11:38,690 --> 00:11:36,300 the information they collected on their 312 00:11:42,050 --> 00:11:38,700 own in their own terms so they don't 313 00:11:45,350 --> 00:11:42,060 like Give It Up to Me For example when I 314 00:11:48,050 --> 00:11:45,360 was making a podcast to share that so I 315 00:11:49,970 --> 00:11:48,060 thought okay well I and I knew bill was 316 00:11:51,230 --> 00:11:49,980 uh involved in this episode so I was 317 00:11:53,269 --> 00:11:51,240 like well maybe we'll see one of them 318 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:53,279 there because that is mufan kind of 319 00:11:57,650 --> 00:11:54,959 presenting it he was there he was kind 320 00:11:59,150 --> 00:11:57,660 of wrapping move on uh this would be a 321 00:12:01,130 --> 00:11:59,160 good opportunity for him to share at 322 00:12:03,350 --> 00:12:01,140 least some of it I mean he admitted that 323 00:12:05,269 --> 00:12:03,360 they don't look like much 324 00:12:07,250 --> 00:12:05,279 um Stephen Green Street reached out 325 00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:07,260 should I get these uh videos and tapes 326 00:12:11,389 --> 00:12:09,839 to you and got the same response uh let 327 00:12:12,470 --> 00:12:11,399 me dig them up they're not much and then 328 00:12:15,110 --> 00:12:12,480 ghosted 329 00:12:16,850 --> 00:12:15,120 yeah yeah if they need more than 30 330 00:12:18,610 --> 00:12:16,860 years to present yeah like what are they 331 00:12:20,870 --> 00:12:18,620 waiting for right 332 00:12:23,090 --> 00:12:20,880 and that's the reaction I get every time 333 00:12:24,650 --> 00:12:23,100 I bring this up and show like clips from 334 00:12:27,230 --> 00:12:24,660 their uh their journal they're like wait 335 00:12:28,610 --> 00:12:27,240 a minute I thought mufon was on our side 336 00:12:31,970 --> 00:12:28,620 what's mufan doing 337 00:12:33,769 --> 00:12:31,980 and we constantly tag them and stuff I I 338 00:12:35,930 --> 00:12:33,779 haven't gotten a good answer as to why 339 00:12:37,790 --> 00:12:35,940 they would just I I kind of can't 340 00:12:40,910 --> 00:12:37,800 remember who in this like our little 341 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:40,920 like codery of UFO people is anyone a 342 00:12:44,990 --> 00:12:43,200 Buffon field investigator or have you 343 00:12:46,730 --> 00:12:45,000 ever been one 344 00:12:48,290 --> 00:12:46,740 um I I was like kind of base level I 345 00:12:49,730 --> 00:12:48,300 ended up paying the monthly fees just to 346 00:12:51,710 --> 00:12:49,740 see if I could get more access to the 347 00:12:54,650 --> 00:12:51,720 information in their database sure which 348 00:12:56,269 --> 00:12:54,660 was Bare Bones if uh to put it lightly 349 00:12:58,250 --> 00:12:56,279 like there's there's nothing there 350 00:13:00,949 --> 00:12:58,260 especially I should look into getting 351 00:13:02,110 --> 00:13:00,959 trained as a field investigator I mean a 352 00:13:04,610 --> 00:13:02,120 few times 353 00:13:06,769 --> 00:13:04,620 to get the book and stuff maybe you can 354 00:13:09,290 --> 00:13:06,779 dig a Little Deeper but like these 355 00:13:10,790 --> 00:13:09,300 things are inaccessible I mean like I 356 00:13:12,650 --> 00:13:10,800 will never get laid again if my two 357 00:13:16,370 --> 00:13:12,660 hobbies are UFO investigation and 358 00:13:19,250 --> 00:13:16,380 amateur radio like that's it like don't 359 00:13:22,150 --> 00:13:19,260 wear your lanyard yes spinster forever 360 00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:22,160 um I I just I yeah it's a good question 361 00:13:27,050 --> 00:13:24,720 why why haven't they shared it I mean 362 00:13:29,329 --> 00:13:27,060 like even if it to to build his own 363 00:13:30,710 --> 00:13:29,339 admission they look poor but if there's 364 00:13:32,990 --> 00:13:30,720 any kind of like 365 00:13:35,509 --> 00:13:33,000 Landmark you can notice in that video or 366 00:13:37,009 --> 00:13:35,519 even the time or Direction I it could it 367 00:13:38,870 --> 00:13:37,019 could bring us at least a little closer 368 00:13:41,449 --> 00:13:38,880 look there's been a lot of the 369 00:13:43,069 --> 00:13:41,459 challenges to move on for many years now 370 00:13:45,470 --> 00:13:43,079 right like like there was that whole 371 00:13:47,949 --> 00:13:45,480 Infamous uh thing where they were 372 00:13:50,870 --> 00:13:47,959 selling their data to 373 00:13:52,550 --> 00:13:50,880 Bigelow and um they've been always been 374 00:13:54,829 --> 00:13:52,560 very protective of their information 375 00:13:57,370 --> 00:13:54,839 right and so if they're monetizing it 376 00:14:00,110 --> 00:13:57,380 while being protective and not sort of 377 00:14:01,910 --> 00:14:00,120 being uh forthcoming in the 378 00:14:04,250 --> 00:14:01,920 circumstances where it feels like it 379 00:14:05,990 --> 00:14:04,260 would be that time to do it like it 380 00:14:07,670 --> 00:14:06,000 really looks bad on them and does not 381 00:14:10,009 --> 00:14:07,680 help their reputation at all but 382 00:14:13,190 --> 00:14:10,019 meanwhile they are kind of um 383 00:14:14,810 --> 00:14:13,200 amongst UFO groups a household name you 384 00:14:17,210 --> 00:14:14,820 know what I mean there's a Walmart of 385 00:14:19,190 --> 00:14:17,220 UFO groups essentially like moms have 386 00:14:21,889 --> 00:14:19,200 heard of them sometimes 387 00:14:24,590 --> 00:14:21,899 um and I'll also point out that like any 388 00:14:26,870 --> 00:14:24,600 type of UFO coverage on media they have 389 00:14:28,490 --> 00:14:26,880 a representative in it too right they 390 00:14:31,190 --> 00:14:28,500 probably have video training so people 391 00:14:32,389 --> 00:14:31,200 can actually talk to to reps man I I 392 00:14:34,310 --> 00:14:32,399 just remember listening to Peter 393 00:14:37,370 --> 00:14:34,320 Davenport he's not mufan he was National 394 00:14:39,230 --> 00:14:37,380 UFO Reporting Center in like the 90s on 395 00:14:41,030 --> 00:14:39,240 Coast to Coast AM 396 00:14:42,769 --> 00:14:41,040 um and he he would pull the Linda bolt 397 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:42,779 and how where he'd like hold the tape 398 00:14:47,030 --> 00:14:45,120 recorder up to the landline phone and 399 00:14:49,370 --> 00:14:47,040 like play it over AM radio there's like 400 00:14:52,129 --> 00:14:49,380 a very part particular Nostalgia to 401 00:14:54,470 --> 00:14:52,139 listening to those uh old conversations 402 00:14:55,790 --> 00:14:54,480 say he always seemed to be kind of like 403 00:14:59,329 --> 00:14:55,800 uh 404 00:15:01,069 --> 00:14:59,339 much more above board but just doesn't 405 00:15:03,230 --> 00:15:01,079 have the same household recognition as 406 00:15:05,090 --> 00:15:03,240 as mufon does 407 00:15:07,009 --> 00:15:05,100 I wanna I wanna say one other thing too 408 00:15:09,230 --> 00:15:07,019 and I don't want it to come off as me 409 00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:09,240 like disparaging anyone 410 00:15:15,230 --> 00:15:12,420 um but Tilly uh Jennifer or no sorry 411 00:15:17,689 --> 00:15:15,240 Virginia Tilly the original investigator 412 00:15:19,970 --> 00:15:17,699 who I believe that this water spout UFO 413 00:15:21,110 --> 00:15:19,980 report came from she was also the one 414 00:15:23,389 --> 00:15:21,120 who 415 00:15:25,910 --> 00:15:23,399 quit Moon fun in protest to start her 416 00:15:27,769 --> 00:15:25,920 own group uh here in Grand Rapids and 417 00:15:29,090 --> 00:15:27,779 she put out that that newsletter called 418 00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:29,100 the outer connection 419 00:15:33,170 --> 00:15:31,199 um I think it was a year or so later 420 00:15:35,030 --> 00:15:33,180 but the interesting thing and this part 421 00:15:36,530 --> 00:15:35,040 wasn't written by her so I'm going to 422 00:15:38,629 --> 00:15:36,540 say like this necessarily affects her 423 00:15:40,970 --> 00:15:38,639 track record it was by a a different 424 00:15:43,009 --> 00:15:40,980 reporter in her new group but he gave 425 00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:43,019 this whole Cloak and Dagger deep throat 426 00:15:47,210 --> 00:15:45,120 story about how he got these radar 427 00:15:49,670 --> 00:15:47,220 images from that case which of course 428 00:15:51,530 --> 00:15:49,680 turned out to be the radar blanks that 429 00:15:53,870 --> 00:15:51,540 uh Michael Professor Michael swords and 430 00:15:55,370 --> 00:15:53,880 Jack Bouchon made several days after the 431 00:15:57,290 --> 00:15:55,380 fact 432 00:16:00,170 --> 00:15:57,300 um one copy stayed with swords and went 433 00:16:03,530 --> 00:16:00,180 back to um kufos jail and heinx kufos 434 00:16:05,569 --> 00:16:03,540 and uh the other one went to the NOAA so 435 00:16:07,910 --> 00:16:05,579 perhaps they were foia or something but 436 00:16:10,430 --> 00:16:07,920 the story of how these things came to be 437 00:16:12,050 --> 00:16:10,440 it was from a secret Insider who died 438 00:16:14,870 --> 00:16:12,060 apparently and they were talking in like 439 00:16:16,730 --> 00:16:14,880 old message boards and AOL chat rooms I 440 00:16:19,490 --> 00:16:16,740 can't just hop you have like one normal 441 00:16:22,550 --> 00:16:19,500 thing I don't know why is it always like 442 00:16:25,370 --> 00:16:22,560 this this is weird Shady story it's 443 00:16:27,590 --> 00:16:25,380 always weird and Shady that is like by 444 00:16:29,329 --> 00:16:27,600 it is de facto ufology if it is weird 445 00:16:31,670 --> 00:16:29,339 and Shady but the thing the thing about 446 00:16:33,889 --> 00:16:31,680 it is is like it was unnecessarily so 447 00:16:35,870 --> 00:16:33,899 because like these these radar maps 448 00:16:37,189 --> 00:16:35,880 weren't a secret they weren't they 449 00:16:38,509 --> 00:16:37,199 weren't classified or anything like that 450 00:16:40,670 --> 00:16:38,519 they weren't even hidden they just 451 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:40,680 hadn't been published by kufos at the 452 00:16:44,930 --> 00:16:42,959 time yet so where did this story come 453 00:16:46,550 --> 00:16:44,940 from so I wanna I wanna point that out 454 00:16:48,949 --> 00:16:46,560 and say that's like that's not exactly 455 00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:48,959 coming from genitalia I'm not saying 456 00:16:53,449 --> 00:16:51,540 anything negative about her but I do it 457 00:16:56,389 --> 00:16:53,459 does really make me wonder if that case 458 00:17:00,170 --> 00:16:56,399 was confabulated with the uh Gosford 459 00:17:02,269 --> 00:17:00,180 Lake 94 case and it just kind of fit 460 00:17:05,530 --> 00:17:02,279 that story for the episode really well 461 00:17:08,630 --> 00:17:05,540 because it tied in the weird water stuff 462 00:17:10,010 --> 00:17:08,640 it alleged to kind of corroborate the 463 00:17:12,409 --> 00:17:10,020 underground and the radar sightings 464 00:17:14,030 --> 00:17:12,419 because people do have to remember with 465 00:17:15,470 --> 00:17:14,040 with all media like this whether it's 466 00:17:17,929 --> 00:17:15,480 Unsolved Mysteries or a James Fox 467 00:17:20,630 --> 00:17:17,939 documentary this is entertainment 468 00:17:23,689 --> 00:17:20,640 so it's not don't do your research by 469 00:17:25,490 --> 00:17:23,699 watching TV shows uh or movies like 470 00:17:27,470 --> 00:17:25,500 actually look into it listen to what the 471 00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:27,480 people say I always recommend going to 472 00:17:31,190 --> 00:17:29,400 the AFU and looking up what people were 473 00:17:34,010 --> 00:17:31,200 reporting at the time 474 00:17:36,350 --> 00:17:34,020 um I also oh I was gonna say I also 475 00:17:38,450 --> 00:17:36,360 wonder too it feels like they're like 476 00:17:39,950 --> 00:17:38,460 um submersible unidentified submersible 477 00:17:42,650 --> 00:17:39,960 objects has sort of entered the 478 00:17:43,970 --> 00:17:42,660 euphological Zeitgeist a lot more so it 479 00:17:46,430 --> 00:17:43,980 doesn't surprise me that they'd kind of 480 00:17:48,830 --> 00:17:46,440 try to fold that in to any sort of 481 00:17:50,870 --> 00:17:48,840 recollection on a historical case sure 482 00:17:53,150 --> 00:17:50,880 yeah and I mean like yeah they were 483 00:17:55,549 --> 00:17:53,160 telling a story it's a TV show obviously 484 00:17:57,770 --> 00:17:55,559 so they were they were making 485 00:18:00,049 --> 00:17:57,780 connections they were filling in gaps um 486 00:18:02,029 --> 00:18:00,059 I wouldn't take that seriously I know I 487 00:18:03,770 --> 00:18:02,039 haven't oh sorry I haven't seen the 488 00:18:05,570 --> 00:18:03,780 actual episode yet 489 00:18:08,210 --> 00:18:05,580 um but uh the content that I've seen 490 00:18:10,909 --> 00:18:08,220 shared on like Twitter it's interesting 491 00:18:14,570 --> 00:18:10,919 because it does seem to heavily involve 492 00:18:16,970 --> 00:18:14,580 the waterspout thing and yeah because we 493 00:18:19,909 --> 00:18:16,980 covered this with your excellent uh 494 00:18:21,770 --> 00:18:19,919 in-depth uh you know analysis of the 495 00:18:25,370 --> 00:18:21,780 available information like we are 496 00:18:27,230 --> 00:18:25,380 familiar with the verifiable details and 497 00:18:29,690 --> 00:18:27,240 I find it very intriguing that 498 00:18:32,330 --> 00:18:29,700 potentially the most memorable element 499 00:18:34,430 --> 00:18:32,340 of this new representation is 500 00:18:37,010 --> 00:18:34,440 potentially entirely fictional and it 501 00:18:38,990 --> 00:18:37,020 just is like such a classic example of 502 00:18:41,750 --> 00:18:39,000 everything wrong with this subject right 503 00:18:43,130 --> 00:18:41,760 I mean like I said in the beginning it 504 00:18:45,470 --> 00:18:43,140 is possible that this was an original 505 00:18:48,350 --> 00:18:45,480 claim from back in 1994. we do know that 506 00:18:49,789 --> 00:18:48,360 like multiple people called in a 9-1-1 507 00:18:51,950 --> 00:18:49,799 that aren't on that tape and we know 508 00:18:54,830 --> 00:18:51,960 that mufon took a lot of reports from 509 00:18:56,750 --> 00:18:54,840 around then so like sure sure maybe it 510 00:18:59,390 --> 00:18:56,760 is an original account I don't think it 511 00:19:01,130 --> 00:18:59,400 adds any value to the story as dramatic 512 00:19:03,529 --> 00:19:01,140 as it sounds because like I said it's 513 00:19:04,789 --> 00:19:03,539 not corroborated on that tape you know 514 00:19:05,930 --> 00:19:04,799 we're hearing this out of the blue 30 515 00:19:08,810 --> 00:19:05,940 years later 516 00:19:11,090 --> 00:19:08,820 and it doesn't line up with 517 00:19:13,370 --> 00:19:11,100 um the recording of Jack tracking the 518 00:19:15,049 --> 00:19:13,380 radar you know what I mean they none of 519 00:19:16,430 --> 00:19:15,059 them were off the coast of Benton Harbor 520 00:19:18,529 --> 00:19:16,440 at the time according to him they were 521 00:19:21,169 --> 00:19:18,539 all located all the returns were located 522 00:19:24,350 --> 00:19:21,179 kind of southern area of Lake Michigan 523 00:19:26,570 --> 00:19:24,360 down by Indiana and Chicago so I don't 524 00:19:29,029 --> 00:19:26,580 know it it shook me when I watched it 525 00:19:30,770 --> 00:19:29,039 and then on the on the episode they had 526 00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:30,780 the radar operator sort of say something 527 00:19:36,350 --> 00:19:34,620 like uh this sort of connects these 528 00:19:40,010 --> 00:19:36,360 things is that what I heard you say yes 529 00:19:42,350 --> 00:19:40,020 yeah and like and from experience 530 00:19:44,210 --> 00:19:42,360 um the way that they have you speak on 531 00:19:46,190 --> 00:19:44,220 these shows is they ask you a question 532 00:19:47,810 --> 00:19:46,200 and then they say tell it back to me 533 00:19:49,370 --> 00:19:47,820 like you're telling me a statement so 534 00:19:51,289 --> 00:19:49,380 like if the question is what do you 535 00:19:53,770 --> 00:19:51,299 think about this you're supposed to say 536 00:19:56,990 --> 00:19:53,780 what I think about this is 537 00:20:00,049 --> 00:19:57,000 so I mean you're coached to say certain 538 00:20:01,250 --> 00:20:00,059 things and uh kind of like because they 539 00:20:02,630 --> 00:20:01,260 are like I said like I keep saying 540 00:20:04,669 --> 00:20:02,640 they're building a narrative and stuff 541 00:20:07,669 --> 00:20:04,679 so yeah yeah I said some cookie things 542 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:07,679 myself uh so I'm kind of glad it didn't 543 00:20:12,529 --> 00:20:10,320 make it you let your Fame go to that go 544 00:20:15,770 --> 00:20:12,539 to your head man yeah you're gonna be a 545 00:20:17,330 --> 00:20:15,780 rock star yeah I I and I like honestly I 546 00:20:19,730 --> 00:20:17,340 was in a different mindset back then too 547 00:20:21,549 --> 00:20:19,740 I was a little more delivery at the time 548 00:20:23,450 --> 00:20:21,559 too so 549 00:20:25,850 --> 00:20:23,460 and um 550 00:20:28,070 --> 00:20:25,860 aside from that water spout thing I want 551 00:20:30,049 --> 00:20:28,080 to say that um they did Cover the events 552 00:20:33,230 --> 00:20:30,059 pretty well 553 00:20:36,710 --> 00:20:33,240 um but I do if you pay strict attention 554 00:20:38,930 --> 00:20:36,720 to what is said on the 911 tape and the 555 00:20:41,029 --> 00:20:38,940 visuals that they use 556 00:20:43,370 --> 00:20:41,039 you'll notice that they are a bit 557 00:20:44,990 --> 00:20:43,380 exaggerated in my opinion although I did 558 00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:45,000 talk to Holly right after she messaged 559 00:20:47,690 --> 00:20:46,380 me and she said what did you think and I 560 00:20:49,430 --> 00:20:47,700 was like oh it's cool but more 561 00:20:51,710 --> 00:20:49,440 importantly what do you think you saw it 562 00:20:55,010 --> 00:20:51,720 and she said that she thought the uh the 563 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:55,020 representation was good so either 564 00:20:59,270 --> 00:20:56,880 um her memory has been exaggerated over 565 00:21:01,430 --> 00:20:59,280 these years or they did do a good job 566 00:21:02,930 --> 00:21:01,440 and when she said it looked like a 567 00:21:05,450 --> 00:21:02,940 string of Christmas lights up in this 568 00:21:07,490 --> 00:21:05,460 guy that was maybe she was more at loss 569 00:21:09,470 --> 00:21:07,500 for words because that's what I always 570 00:21:10,970 --> 00:21:09,480 pictured as smaller lights kind of 571 00:21:13,010 --> 00:21:10,980 further away they come together and 572 00:21:14,570 --> 00:21:13,020 break apart not these like discs that 573 00:21:17,330 --> 00:21:14,580 they should these glowing discs that 574 00:21:19,789 --> 00:21:17,340 like explode in the sky on the TV show 575 00:21:21,950 --> 00:21:19,799 that was neat to see but 576 00:21:22,850 --> 00:21:21,960 that waterfall thing man I don't I just 577 00:21:25,850 --> 00:21:22,860 don't know 578 00:21:26,930 --> 00:21:25,860 you said you said the water fountain 579 00:21:28,730 --> 00:21:26,940 spout 580 00:21:30,470 --> 00:21:28,740 um that there was another case in 581 00:21:31,750 --> 00:21:30,480 Australia 582 00:21:34,070 --> 00:21:31,760 yeah 583 00:21:35,750 --> 00:21:34,080 I remember reading about something like 584 00:21:38,270 --> 00:21:35,760 that in this magazine called The X 585 00:21:40,370 --> 00:21:38,280 Factor back in the 90s it was like a 586 00:21:42,230 --> 00:21:40,380 paranormal kind of series that you would 587 00:21:44,270 --> 00:21:42,240 buy every week yeah 588 00:21:46,070 --> 00:21:44,280 um there was actually another 589 00:21:49,250 --> 00:21:46,080 claim like that I think it was from an 590 00:21:50,870 --> 00:21:49,260 American Service man so this story might 591 00:21:53,630 --> 00:21:50,880 have been sort of doing the rounds back 592 00:21:55,430 --> 00:21:53,640 then this Trope I wonder if he could 593 00:21:57,470 --> 00:21:55,440 find out which case that was that's 594 00:22:00,049 --> 00:21:57,480 really interesting I'd like to see it 595 00:22:02,029 --> 00:22:00,059 because I mean like um there was a a 596 00:22:05,210 --> 00:22:02,039 similar claim in uh at the weineke 597 00:22:08,149 --> 00:22:05,220 reservoir I think that was 66 or 67 but 598 00:22:09,049 --> 00:22:08,159 I don't remember Craig would know 599 00:22:11,450 --> 00:22:09,059 um 600 00:22:13,789 --> 00:22:11,460 but I I believe it was also sucking up 601 00:22:16,610 --> 00:22:13,799 water and then one of the earlier uh 602 00:22:18,169 --> 00:22:16,620 claims in Hudson Valley was that they 603 00:22:19,909 --> 00:22:18,179 saw the the boomerang hovering over 604 00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:19,919 water and dropping down kind of a red 605 00:22:24,890 --> 00:22:22,559 probe in like I don't know stirring the 606 00:22:26,210 --> 00:22:24,900 waters I'm not really sure what it was 607 00:22:27,830 --> 00:22:26,220 doing but uh 608 00:22:29,810 --> 00:22:27,840 lots of lots of stories of them 609 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:29,820 interacting is it like the Council 610 00:22:35,090

00:24:57,890 --> 00:24:56,340 into anomalous experiences and the 677 00:25:00,890 --> 00:24:57,900 phenomenon which was this one day 678 00:25:02,770 --> 00:25:00,900 Symposium hosted by James iandoli who 679 00:25:05,510 --> 00:25:02,780 runs the engaging the phenomenon podcast 680 00:25:07,730 --> 00:25:05,520 and then Jay Christopher King who runs 681 00:25:09,890 --> 00:25:07,740 the experiencer group they were joined 682 00:25:11,690 --> 00:25:09,900 by two awesome co-hosts Kelly Chase and 683 00:25:13,610 --> 00:25:11,700 Priscilla Stone from the Run UFO Rabbit 684 00:25:14,270 --> 00:25:13,620 Hole in Quantum witch Cafe 685 00:25:20,810 --> 00:25:14,280 um 686 00:25:22,130 --> 00:25:20,820 beings was kind enough to give me a 687 00:25:24,049 --> 00:25:22,140 ticket really appreciates what we're 688 00:25:25,610 --> 00:25:24,059 doing with our own podcast I think in 689 00:25:28,190 --> 00:25:25,620 the kind of conversations we're having 690 00:25:30,350 --> 00:25:28,200 and um you know it's basically in my 691 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:30,360 backyard so I jumped a train went uh 692 00:25:34,010 --> 00:25:32,880 down to the city and uh the lineup was 693 00:25:35,930 --> 00:25:34,020 pretty solid 694 00:25:39,110 --> 00:25:35,940 um I would say in the green room before 695 00:25:40,490 --> 00:25:39,120 we started uh as an ex academic I could 696 00:25:43,190 --> 00:25:40,500 say 697 00:25:44,990 --> 00:25:43,200 um pretty candidly that the majority of 698 00:25:46,610 --> 00:25:45,000 the speakers would not have been out of 699 00:25:48,169 --> 00:25:46,620 place at like a standard academic 700 00:25:50,750 --> 00:25:48,179 conference 701 00:25:55,310 --> 00:25:50,760 um the lineup was a like pretty stacked 702 00:25:57,409 --> 00:25:55,320 we had uh Dr Sean esperan hoggins who um 703 00:25:58,549 --> 00:25:57,419 had the first presentation of the day 704 00:26:01,190 --> 00:25:58,559 talked a lot about the connection 705 00:26:03,590 --> 00:26:01,200 between experience your phenomena and 706 00:26:04,970 --> 00:26:03,600 sort of these constellation of numinous 707 00:26:06,409 --> 00:26:04,980 events that humans have been reporting 708 00:26:07,970 --> 00:26:06,419 throughout history and he walked us 709 00:26:10,490 --> 00:26:07,980 through basically like the different 710 00:26:11,690 --> 00:26:10,500 Frameworks that different religions and 711 00:26:12,649 --> 00:26:11,700 spiritual 712 00:26:15,590 --> 00:26:12,659 um 713 00:26:17,450 --> 00:26:15,600 systems used to like frame and identify 714 00:26:20,390 --> 00:26:17,460 and understand different things and like 715 00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:20,400 I I've been on a deep deep rabbit hole 716 00:26:24,409 --> 00:26:22,799 with uh mystical Buddhism lately so it 717 00:26:26,930 --> 00:26:24,419 was really cool seeing like a discussion 718 00:26:29,210 --> 00:26:26,940 about vajrayana and the rainbow body 719 00:26:31,310 --> 00:26:29,220 alongside conversations about like 720 00:26:32,529 --> 00:26:31,320 contemporary experience or phenomenology 721 00:26:37,730 --> 00:26:32,539 yeah 722 00:26:39,769 --> 00:26:37,740 um and kudos to him because he also is 723 00:26:42,370 --> 00:26:39,779 doing something that uh I think is 724 00:26:46,010 --> 00:26:42,380 important which is he's 725 00:26:47,750 --> 00:26:46,020 he's uh almost in an ethnographic 726 00:26:49,850 --> 00:26:47,760 fashion approaching experience or 727 00:26:52,730 --> 00:26:49,860 phenomena so rather than he's basically 728 00:26:56,149 --> 00:26:52,740 trying to disintermediate like 729 00:26:57,710 --> 00:26:56,159 UFO government Black Ops conspiracy 730 00:26:59,750 --> 00:26:57,720 narratives from the experiencer 731 00:27:01,310 --> 00:26:59,760 experience which I think is really cool 732 00:27:03,830 --> 00:27:01,320 and important like he's treating it like 733 00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:03,840 with a sense of academic rigor 734 00:27:07,490 --> 00:27:05,580 um and pretty interdisciplinary he was 735 00:27:10,010 --> 00:27:07,500 also um 736 00:27:11,750 --> 00:27:10,020 anyway my point is I found the content 737 00:27:13,370 --> 00:27:11,760 and quality of his presentation like 738 00:27:15,590 --> 00:27:13,380 pretty impressive 739 00:27:18,409 --> 00:27:15,600 um Tim grief Carlson from Westminster 740 00:27:20,930 --> 00:27:18,419 College in Pennsylvania he read an 741 00:27:23,810 --> 00:27:20,940 excerpt from his uh book on the Big 742 00:27:25,310 --> 00:27:23,820 Thicket in East Texas he was a PhD 743 00:27:27,590 --> 00:27:25,320 student under Jeff [\h__\h] at Rice 744 00:27:31,130 --> 00:27:27,600 University basically writing about the 745 00:27:33,710 --> 00:27:31,140 role of um I think like a cult phenomena 746 00:27:36,529 --> 00:27:33,720 and folk religion and stuff very 747 00:27:38,210 --> 00:27:36,539 interesting again super academic 748 00:27:39,890 --> 00:27:38,220 um I don't want to project anything onto 749 00:27:41,630 --> 00:27:39,900 the crowd but like I'm at the edge of my 750 00:27:42,830 --> 00:27:41,640 seat completely nerding out but I'm 751 00:27:44,149 --> 00:27:42,840 pretty sure a lot of the people in the 752 00:27:46,549 --> 00:27:44,159 audience were like show me the [\h__\h] 753 00:27:49,370 --> 00:27:46,559 aliens like what's going on here 754 00:27:51,110 --> 00:27:49,380

763 00:28:09,049 --> 00:28:07,260 necessity of skepticism in these spaces 764 00:28:11,450 --> 00:28:09,059 and the need for collaboration between 765 00:28:13,669 --> 00:28:11,460 like researchers and Skeptics to really 766 00:28:16,250 --> 00:28:13,679 help deliver high integrity research and 767 00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:16,260 Analysis so like again subjects of my 768 00:28:20,029 -->

00:30:45,169 --> 00:30:43,500 terrifying like when people recognize 838 00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:45,179 you and like you and I'm just like dude 839 00:30:50,210 --> 00:30:47,220 I just know you as a UFO picture on 840 00:30:53,570 --> 00:30:50,220 Twitter and like a jumble of names and 841 00:30:56,149 --> 00:30:53,580 numbers like I don't know who you are 842 00:30:58,010 --> 00:30:56,159 um but people people are really cool and 843 00:30:59,990 --> 00:30:58,020 I think it's also like a classic example 844 00:31:01,669 --> 00:31:00,000 of what happens when you make good faith 845 00:31:03,169 --> 00:31:01,679 effort to Coalition build or even just 846 00:31:05,210 --> 00:31:03,179 show up in each other's faces because 847 00:31:06,710 --> 00:31:05,220 like nobody starts [\h__\h] you realize 848 00:31:08,630 --> 00:31:06,720 you're you know actually human beings 849 00:31:11,149 --> 00:31:08,640 you have a shared interest people were 850 00:31:12,710 --> 00:31:11,159 well behaved and welcoming 851 00:31:14,510 --> 00:31:12,720 um but the the other thing that was 852 00:31:17,570 --> 00:31:14,520 really interesting for me 853 00:31:20,450 --> 00:31:17,580 um was watching kind of the post-event 854 00:31:22,389 --> 00:31:20,460 responses to a lot of the things that 855 00:31:25,430 --> 00:31:22,399 were discussed in these presentations 856 00:31:28,370 --> 00:31:25,440 and I say this because 857 00:31:30,289 --> 00:31:28,380 um and I see this candidly 858 00:31:32,590 --> 00:31:30,299 um without claiming to be free of 859 00:31:35,570 --> 00:31:32,600 cognitive biases or my own projections 860 00:31:38,090 --> 00:31:35,580 but a lot of the post-event discourse 861 00:31:40,490 --> 00:31:38,100 that I saw emerge on Twitter 862 00:31:44,269 --> 00:31:40,500 um in like sort of the UFO space 863 00:31:46,310 --> 00:31:44,279 felt to me very much a transmutation of 864 00:31:48,830 --> 00:31:46,320 what was actually discussed that day in 865 00:31:52,250 --> 00:31:48,840 many of those presentations like I I 866 00:31:54,649 --> 00:31:52,260 even by very strong Ultra skeptic 867 00:31:57,110 --> 00:31:54,659 critical material is thinking I think 868 00:31:58,130 --> 00:31:57,120 everybody I know in that Arena could 869 00:31:59,450 --> 00:31:58,140 could have sat through these 870 00:32:02,750 --> 00:31:59,460 presentations and found them pretty 871 00:32:05,029 --> 00:32:02,760 Meritus and like worthy of consideration 872 00:32:08,389 --> 00:32:05,039 um aliens and extraterrestrials didn't 873 00:32:09,889 --> 00:32:08,399 come up like once that entire day but I 874 00:32:12,350 --> 00:32:09,899 can't tell you how many times I read 875 00:32:14,049 --> 00:32:12,360 some discourse about what people saw or 876 00:32:16,850 --> 00:32:14,059 heard and it involved aliens 877 00:32:18,049 --> 00:32:16,860 extraterrestrials abductees this kind of 878 00:32:25,130 --> 00:32:18,059 like 879 00:32:27,409 --> 00:32:25,140 seeing what they wanted to see or hear 880 00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:27,419 out of these presentations 881 00:32:31,970 --> 00:32:30,480 um and you know I mean we always like we 882 00:32:33,529 --> 00:32:31,980 always talk about the kind of community 883 00:32:35,750 --> 00:32:33,539 and collaborative myth making that 884 00:32:37,310 --> 00:32:35,760 happens in ufology it was kind of just 885 00:32:39,169 --> 00:32:37,320 kind of interesting to see happen 886 00:32:40,789 --> 00:32:39,179 basically in real time where I was like 887 00:32:42,289 --> 00:32:40,799 did we even attend like the same 888 00:32:45,409 --> 00:32:42,299 conference like did we hear the same 889 00:32:48,289 --> 00:32:45,419 talks here like how could you take away 890 00:32:51,470 --> 00:32:48,299 like even Dr Nolan was pretty reserved 891 00:32:53,389 --> 00:32:51,480 in his discussion about disclosure and 892 00:32:55,130 --> 00:32:53,399 the the idea that people were coming 893 00:32:56,330 --> 00:32:55,140 away being like Oh man disclosure is 894 00:32:58,970 --> 00:32:56,340 coming soon we're gonna know everything 895 00:33:01,490 --> 00:32:58,980 I was like did like what happened here 896 00:33:04,669 --> 00:33:01,500 did we listen to the same person 897 00:33:06,169 --> 00:33:04,679 um right well I I always ask uh like 898 00:33:08,090 --> 00:33:06,179 especially after doing the Hudson Valley 899 00:33:10,789 --> 00:33:08,100 case like how did people see a formation 900 00:33:12,289 --> 00:33:10,799 of planes uh as this dramatic event 901 00:33:14,269 --> 00:33:12,299 people 902 00:33:15,710 --> 00:33:14,279 see through their biases you know what I 903 00:33:17,210 --> 00:33:15,720 mean like everyone's seeing it through 904 00:33:19,850 --> 00:33:17,220 filters people are having different 905 00:33:22,310 --> 00:33:19,860 experiences even in this conference it's 906 00:33:23,930 --> 00:33:22,320 wild yeah well I mean think about with 907 00:33:25,610 --> 00:33:23,940 Hudson Valley where people 908 00:33:27,950 --> 00:33:25,620 experience like legitimate spiritual 909 00:33:29,690 --> 00:33:27,960 experiences right they had these like 910 00:33:31,789 --> 00:33:29,700 Consciousness shifting experiences 911 00:33:33,470 --> 00:33:31,799 because 912 00:33:36,409 --> 00:33:33,480 um what they were witnessing at the time 913 00:33:39,769 --> 00:33:36,419 to them was unidentifiable and sort of 914 00:33:41,090 --> 00:33:39,779 broke apart their ideology I just um the 915 00:33:42,710 --> 00:33:41,100 different lenses people can view the 916 00:33:45,169 --> 00:33:42,720 same thing through it's really strange 917 00:33:46,549 --> 00:33:45,179 to me but really interesting I can't 918 00:33:48,789 --> 00:33:46,559 wait to actually like see this whole 919 00:33:51,470 --> 00:33:48,799 conference yeah it's it's it's 920 00:33:53,029 --> 00:33:51,480 absolutely worth watching like in my 921 00:33:54,470 --> 00:33:53,039 opinion completely worth watching not a 922 00:33:56,330 --> 00:33:54,480 waste of time 923 00:33:57,649 --> 00:33:56,340 um you know differences in the community 924 00:33:59,570 --> 00:33:57,659 aside like it was a very well 925 00:34:01,250 --> 00:33:59,580 orchestrated event it ran on time it 926 00:34:03,350 --> 00:34:01,260 started on time finished on time people 927 00:34:05,930 --> 00:34:03,360 were well behaved 928 00:34:07,850 --> 00:34:05,940 um and the other thing that I'll say uh 929 00:34:09,290 --> 00:34:07,860 it give credit to the organizers for is 930 00:34:12,109 --> 00:34:09,300 it was a deliberately intimate 931 00:34:15,589 --> 00:34:12,119 conference it was like 75 people in that 932 00:34:19,190 --> 00:34:15,599 Auditorium uh Science Bob was there uh 933 00:34:22,609 --> 00:34:19,200 Linda Thompson it was kind uh Leslie 934 00:34:26,389 --> 00:34:22,619 Keane Anjali like I said it was like 935 00:34:27,169 --> 00:34:26,399 it just it was very interesting 936 00:34:29,329 --> 00:34:27,179 um 937 00:34:30,649 --> 00:34:29,339 and people you know like 938 00:34:31,970 --> 00:34:30,659 it's 939 00:34:33,530 --> 00:34:31,980 um 940 00:34:36,889 --> 00:34:33,540 it 941 00:34:38,570 --> 00:34:36,899 like like I keep saying uh and I mean I 942 00:34:40,250 --> 00:34:38,580 hope everyone here knows I'm no 943 00:34:41,690 --> 00:34:40,260 shrinking pilot when it comes to strong 944 00:34:43,669 --> 00:34:41,700 opinions if I thought it sucked or 945 00:34:45,169 --> 00:34:43,679 people were [\h__\h] I'd be like this 946 00:34:46,669 --> 00:34:45,179 [\h__\h] sucks don't bother but I thought it 947 00:34:47,930 --> 00:34:46,679 was really great like I'm going to the 948 00:34:49,369 --> 00:34:47,940 December one 949 00:34:51,589 --> 00:34:49,379 um looking forward to like meeting more 950 00:34:52,490 --> 00:34:51,599 folks sort of in that space of the 951 00:34:54,050 --> 00:34:52,500 community 952 00:34:57,829 --> 00:34:54,060 um you thought you've convinced me to 953 00:34:59,450 --> 00:34:57,839 check it out yeah yeah like I mean and 954 00:35:02,089 --> 00:34:59,460 if nothing else like I always come back 955 00:35:06,470 --> 00:35:04,609 and maybe this is being more generous 956 00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:06,480 than is warranted I don't I have more 957 00:35:10,910 --> 00:35:08,160 naivete than I think a lot of people do 958 00:35:14,089 --> 00:35:10,920 in this community still but even 959 00:35:17,990 --> 00:35:14,099 um even if stories are related that are 960 00:35:19,430 --> 00:35:18,000 false or wrong or seem to be too much of 961 00:35:23,050 --> 00:35:19,440 a stretch of the imagination or whatever 962 00:35:27,230 --> 00:35:23,060 like there's still something fascinating 963 00:35:29,210 --> 00:35:27,240 and about witnessing the emergence of 964 00:35:31,790 --> 00:35:29,220 myth right like like I think about like 965 00:35:33,109 --> 00:35:31,800 Bob Lazar is a good example like to a 966 00:35:34,490 --> 00:35:33,119 certain degree it doesn't even matter if 967 00:35:36,170 --> 00:35:34,500 Bob Lazar is telling a true story 968 00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:36,180 because he's woven himself so 969 00:35:41,210 --> 00:35:38,880 effectively into ufology that his 970 00:35:44,270 --> 00:35:41,220 presence in the sort of community myth 971 00:35:46,069 --> 00:35:44,280 in and of itself like brings attention 972 00:35:48,050 --> 00:35:46,079 on it or brings attention on himself 973 00:35:49,730 --> 00:35:48,060 like just by virtue of having so 974 00:35:52,130 --> 00:35:49,740 substantially created and disseminated 975 00:35:53,630 --> 00:35:52,140 his own story so like 976 00:35:57,770 --> 00:35:53,640 that's 977 00:35:59,990 --> 00:35:57,780 um in this sort of like Chaser on all 978 00:36:03,290 --> 00:36:00,000 this is I came back super gung-ho about 979 00:36:04,849 --> 00:36:03,300 this idea of working or sort of not even 980 00:36:06,950 --> 00:36:04,859 working but like thinking about the 981 00:36:08,510 --> 00:36:06,960 necessity of doing ethnography with 982 00:36:10,010 --> 00:36:08,520 experiencers like ethnographic 983 00:36:11,450 --> 00:36:10,020 interviews and research basically you 984 00:36:13,490 --> 00:36:11,460 need somebody who's going to be Alfred 985 00:36:14,930 --> 00:36:13,500 Kinsey for experiencers you know you 986 00:36:16,670 --> 00:36:14,940 need someone who's gonna basically 987 00:36:18,770 --> 00:36:16,680 conduct a ton of interviews and think 988 00:36:20,270 --> 00:36:18,780 about them thematically and I got 989 00:36:22,010 --> 00:36:20,280 pointed in the direction of this guy Ray 990 00:36:24,470 --> 00:36:22,020 Hernandez 991 00:36:26,750 --> 00:36:24,480 um who uh I've subsequently like 992 00:36:29,810 --> 00:36:26,760 connected with he's kind of an Old Guard 993 00:36:31,370 --> 00:36:29,820 Consciousness nde Obe astral projection 994 00:36:32,930 --> 00:36:31,380 kind of guy 995 00:36:34,430 --> 00:36:32,940 um tends to see a lot of experience or 996 00:36:36,109 --> 00:36:34,440 phenomena through the lens of like kind 997 00:36:38,569 --> 00:36:36,119 of the classic spiritual emergence 998 00:36:39,890 --> 00:36:38,579 Kundalini Awakening Etc 999 00:36:41,270 --> 00:36:39,900 um so I've connected with him he's 1000 00:36:43,310 --> 00:36:41,280 trying to bring out some new research 1001 00:36:46,130 -->

the 1019 00:37:29,810 --> 00:37:26,480 UFO mentality and step into real life 1020 00:37:32,630 --> 00:37:29,820 but uh yeah no yeah just been uh doing 1021 00:37:34,490 --> 00:37:32,640 work and stuff but um let's not talk 1022 00:37:37,430 --> 00:37:34,500 about real life that's why we're here is 1023 00:37:40,370 --> 00:37:37,440 to ignore real life yeah escapism that's 1024 00:37:41,810 --> 00:37:40,380 why we talk about UFOs right yes but I 1025 00:37:42,710 --> 00:37:41,820 thought that what uh you were saying Lee 1026 00:37:45,710 --> 00:37:42,720 about 1027 00:37:47,329 --> 00:37:45,720 um the way that myth gets constructed uh 1028 00:37:49,430 --> 00:37:47,339 in real time is really interesting 1029 00:37:50,990 --> 00:37:49,440 because it's like with them like 1030 00:37:53,510 --> 00:37:51,000 Michigan thing we were just talking 1031 00:37:56,270 --> 00:37:53,520 about that uh this interesting thing 1032 00:37:59,210 --> 00:37:56,280 happens where the people who end up 1033 00:38:02,030 --> 00:37:59,220 being sort of the mythical figures that 1034 00:38:05,329 --> 00:38:02,040 lead the uh public interest end up 1035 00:38:07,490 --> 00:38:05,339 bringing in all of these things that are 1036 00:38:09,470 --> 00:38:07,500 not necessarily true into the story 1037 00:38:10,970 --> 00:38:09,480 because they're memorable and then when 1038 00:38:13,310 --> 00:38:10,980 somebody comes into it and starts 1039 00:38:14,990 --> 00:38:13,320 observing it even if there's a kernel of 1040 00:38:17,390 --> 00:38:15,000 Truth at the heart of it I.E like Bob 1041 00:38:19,690 --> 00:38:17,400 was R was working as a contractor at 1042 00:38:23,150 --> 00:38:19,700 Area 51 before it was a publicly known 1043 00:38:24,710 --> 00:38:23,160 that's pretty interesting it I mean and 1044 00:38:26,510 --> 00:38:24,720 then he is spreading his own lies and 1045 00:38:28,010 --> 00:38:26,520 stuff or whatever I don't want to insult 1046 00:38:30,130 --> 00:38:28,020 anybody but he says things that aren't 1047 00:38:32,990 --> 00:38:30,140 verified and then it uh 1048 00:38:34,250 --> 00:38:33,000 I know and then it invalidates the 1049 00:38:35,870 --> 00:38:34,260 entire 1050 00:38:38,150 --> 00:38:35,880 perspective on the whole thing though 1051 00:38:40,250 --> 00:38:38,160 right right so it's all thrown away or 1052 00:38:42,770 --> 00:38:40,260 it's all good and like that's something 1053 00:38:45,410 --> 00:38:42,780 that I see as potentially emerging 1054 00:38:47,089 --> 00:38:45,420 um from the Lake Michigan thing too with 1055 00:38:48,410 --> 00:38:47,099 like the radar operator like even if he 1056 00:38:51,290 --> 00:38:48,420 was a hundred percent reliable 1057 00:38:54,109 --> 00:38:51,300 historically if they cut and pasted his 1058 00:38:56,270 --> 00:38:54,119 one comment out of place now it's part 1059 00:38:58,250 --> 00:38:56,280 of the myth and now he's unreliable and 1060 00:38:59,870 --> 00:38:58,260 now what we throw out all the radar it's 1061 00:39:02,089 --> 00:38:59,880 like and that's just what happened even 1062 00:39:04,490 --> 00:39:02,099 though it's legit originally in certain 1063 00:39:06,230 --> 00:39:04,500 ways that you can invalidate the rest of 1064 00:39:07,670 --> 00:39:06,240 it that was why I wanted to get on here 1065 00:39:10,250 --> 00:39:07,680 quick and kind of nip this in the butter 1066 00:39:12,650 --> 00:39:10,260 at least throw my perspectives out there 1067 00:39:15,770 --> 00:39:12,660 at least so someone might hear it and 1068 00:39:17,450 --> 00:39:15,780 consider it because I there is there is 1069 00:39:19,609 --> 00:39:17,460 a good case underneath this stuff but 1070 00:39:21,950 --> 00:39:19,619 when you when you pile this other kind 1071 00:39:22,730 --> 00:39:21,960 of stuff on and make it more fantastic I 1072 00:39:24,829 --> 00:39:22,740 just 1073 00:39:34,430 --> 00:39:24,839 I I hope that the real good information 1074 00:39:39,710 --> 00:39:36,410 but thinking so there's this theory that 1075 00:39:41,089 --> 00:39:39,720 started emerging in like 2016 and 2017 1076 00:39:43,849 --> 00:39:41,099 um in a lot of these like information 1077 00:39:48,310 --> 00:39:43,859 science circles about the Liars dividend 1078 00:39:51,170 --> 00:39:48,320 which is this idea that false news 1079 00:39:52,849 --> 00:39:51,180 benefits from a boost in legitimacy when 1080 00:39:55,310 --> 00:39:52,859 there's lots of conversation about how 1081 00:39:56,870 --> 00:39:55,320 fake media exists 1082 00:39:58,970 --> 00:39:56,880 um and like you see this it also happens 1083 00:40:00,950 --> 00:39:58,980 the other way which is um I think Joe 1084 00:40:02,930 --> 00:40:00,960 Rogan is a perfect example of leveraging 1085 00:40:05,089 --> 00:40:02,940 the buyer's dividend in a very 1086 00:40:07,910 --> 00:40:05,099 advantageous way for his his sort of 1087 00:40:09,770 --> 00:40:07,920 media Empire which is he Stacks his 1088 00:40:12,650 --> 00:40:09,780 guest list with generally legitimate 1089 00:40:15,109 --> 00:40:12,660 people but then maybe 20 of them aren't 1090 00:40:18,410 --> 00:40:15,119 but the presence of the majority of 1091 00:40:21,349 --> 00:40:18,420 legitimacy confers legitimacy on the 1092 00:40:22,609 --> 00:40:21,359 rest of his guests that makes sense I 1093 00:40:24,410 --> 00:40:22,619 like yeah 1094 00:40:26,690 --> 00:40:24,420 if we see it in ufology all the time 1095 00:40:29,270 --> 00:40:26,700 right like we see this notion that like 1096 00:40:31,550 --> 00:40:29,280 proximity to a reliable source a 1097 00:40:34,069 --> 00:40:31,560 reliable bit of information seems to 1098 00:40:35,990 --> 00:40:34,079 imbue questionable information or 1099 00:40:39,589 --> 00:40:36,000 individuals with a sense of legitimacy 1100 00:40:41,030 --> 00:40:39,599 just by like proximity right that's what 1101 00:40:42,890 --> 00:40:41,040 I think that's also kind of why I wanted 1102 00:40:44,810 --> 00:40:42,900 to stress that like uh TV shows like 1103 00:40:47,089 --> 00:40:44,820 Unsolved Mysteries are for entertainment 1104 00:40:48,470 --> 00:40:47,099 and they are telling a story on top of 1105 00:40:50,510 --> 00:40:48,480 what's already happening there and I 1106 00:40:52,310 --> 00:40:50,520 think a lot of people do think like 1107 00:40:53,450 --> 00:40:52,320 I remember people talking about the TMZ 1108 00:40:55,910 --> 00:40:53,460 special when it came out a couple years 1109 00:40:57,829 --> 00:40:55,920 ago uh talking about like being good 1110 00:41:00,290 --> 00:40:57,839 information like people were researching 1111 00:41:02,630 --> 00:41:00,300 by watching these these UFO specials in 1112 00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:02,640 these UFO TV shows and I don't think 1113 00:41:08,390 --> 00:41:05,940 that that's the way to do it right 1114 00:41:10,670 --> 00:41:08,400 right yeah well and that's um it's 1115 00:41:12,829 --> 00:41:10,680 probably a good spot to uh start it's a 1116 00:41:15,730 --> 00:41:12,839 good segue yeah discussion on the 1117 00:41:18,829 --> 00:41:15,740 scientific method philosophy of science 1118 00:41:21,470 --> 00:41:18,839 observation versus interpretation all 1119 00:41:23,630 --> 00:41:21,480 that good stuff drop it yeah Campbell 1120 00:41:25,310 --> 00:41:23,640 you're the man of the hour okay yeah 1121 00:41:27,710 --> 00:41:25,320 right 1122 00:41:29,870 --> 00:41:27,720 um yeah and that's what got me uh kind 1123 00:41:33,770 --> 00:41:29,880 of interested in this whole subject of 1124 00:41:37,310 --> 00:41:33,780 UAP originally was uh it was from sort 1125 00:41:40,250 --> 00:41:37,320 of zero to a hundred I grew up without 1126 00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:40,260 any religion I didn't believe in ghosts 1127 00:41:45,109 --> 00:41:42,480 I didn't believe in UFOs sea monsters 1128 00:41:47,690 --> 00:41:45,119 anything like I had zero uh 1129 00:41:49,730 --> 00:41:47,700 understanding of the Paranormal all of 1130 00:41:51,650 --> 00:41:49,740 that none of that was a part of my uh 1131 00:41:53,510 --> 00:41:51,660 world view just completely absent not 1132 00:41:57,710 --> 00:41:53,520 even like uh looking down on or anything 1133 00:41:58,550 --> 00:41:57,720 just zero engagement whatsoever and then 1134 00:42:01,190 --> 00:41:58,560 um 1135 00:42:04,430 --> 00:42:01,200 during the virus when everything got 1136 00:42:08,690 --> 00:42:04,440 locked down things seemed all crazy and 1137 00:42:10,430 --> 00:42:08,700 then President Obama came out on 1138 00:42:13,910 --> 00:42:10,440 um the uh Late Late Show with James 1139 00:42:15,470 --> 00:42:13,920 Corden in May 2021 and he gave a very 1140 00:42:18,050 --> 00:42:15,480 strange interview that caught my 1141 00:42:19,550 --> 00:42:18,060 attention for the first time because I 1142 00:42:22,370 --> 00:42:19,560 had followed Obama through my entire 1143 00:42:24,410 --> 00:42:22,380 University like he was like my president 1144 00:42:27,230 --> 00:42:24,420 growing up I'm Canadian but like he was 1145 00:42:29,270 --> 00:42:27,240 the president you know and uh it was 1146 00:42:31,310 --> 00:42:29,280 just so strange to have him come out in 1147 00:42:32,870 --> 00:42:31,320 the middle of a virus with all this UFO 1148 00:42:35,690 --> 00:42:32,880 stuff in the like in New York Times 1149 00:42:37,609 --> 00:42:35,700 stuff and then he's saying well no there 1150 00:42:39,230 --> 00:42:37,619 there are objects up there that we don't 1151 00:42:41,630 --> 00:42:39,240 really know what they are and he doesn't 1152 00:42:44,569 --> 00:42:41,640 even stop there he says we can't explain 1153 00:42:46,310 --> 00:42:44,579 how they move their trajectories they 1154 00:42:49,190 --> 00:42:46,320 did not have an easily explainable 1155 00:42:50,870 --> 00:42:49,200 pattern so people still take seriously 1156 00:42:52,609 --> 00:42:50,880 try to figure out what those things are 1157 00:42:55,609 --> 00:42:52,619 and 1158 00:42:56,990 --> 00:42:55,619 that just struck me so weird because I 1159 00:42:59,809 --> 00:42:57,000 would expect him to say the first part 1160 00:43:01,970 --> 00:42:59,819 oh yeah there are UFOs out there and 1161 00:43:04,430 --> 00:43:01,980 what I couldn't figure out was why would 1162 00:43:07,550 --> 00:43:04,440 Obama draw people's attention to this 1163 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:07,560 subject when I knew academically it was 1164 00:43:12,109 --> 00:43:09,359 associated with like you know white 1165 00:43:13,910 --> 00:43:12,119 supremacy uh Terror the FBI has it on 1166 00:43:15,790 --> 00:43:13,920 the same slides as like terrorism and 1167 00:43:19,069 --> 00:43:15,800 stuff as a threat to National Security 1168 00:43:21,050 --> 00:43:19,079 incredible so it's like why is Obama 1169 00:43:23,329 --> 00:43:21,060 sort of putting kindling in this at all 1170 00:43:25,010 --> 00:43:23,339 it made absolutely no sense and as well 1171 00:43:27,710 --> 00:43:25,020 as that it was the obvious thing that 1172 00:43:28,849 --> 00:43:27,720 it's like I feel very confident I 1173 00:43:31,069 --> 00:43:28,859 wouldn't say certain but I felt very 1174 00:43:34,010 --> 00:43:31,079 confident that the United States has the 1175 00:43:35,870 --> 00:43:34,020 capacity to identify objects in Earth's 1176 00:43:38,270 --> 00:43:35,880 atmosphere for the most part 1177 00:43:40,490 --> 00:43:38,280 and so my assumption was like if they're 1178 00:43:42,589 --> 00:43:40,500 like all these alien spaceships or 1179 00:43:43,550 --> 00:43:42,599 whatever coming in here like they would 1180 00:43:45,950 --> 00:43:43,560 be getting 1181 00:43:47,270 --> 00:43:45,960 served probably and so why would Obama 1182 00:43:49,069 --> 00:43:47,280 be saying he doesn't know what they are 1183 00:43:50,390 --> 00:43:49,079 why would he be drawing attention to 1184 00:43:52,910 --> 00:43:50,400 that if the U.S can't identify something 1185 00:43:54,470 --> 00:43:52,920 makes no sense right so that was sort of 1186 00:43:56,030 --> 00:43:54,480 the Baseline it was like this makes 1187 00:43:57,950 --> 00:43:56,040 absolutely no sense according to my 1188 00:44:01,069 --> 00:43:57,960 world view so it was like it broke into 1189 00:44:01,670 --> 00:44:01,079 my attention for the first time that way 1190 00:44:03,530 --> 00:44:01,680 um 1191 00:44:06,349 --> 00:44:03,540 and so that was sort of the heart of it 1192 00:44:08,510 --> 00:44:06,359 and then I started doing research and uh 1193 00:44:11,450 --> 00:44:08,520 that was what turned into my website 1194 00:44:13,790 --> 00:44:11,460 uapstudy.com 1195 00:44:16,010 --> 00:44:13,800 um yeah and I guess I could just start 1196 00:44:18,470 --> 00:44:16,020 getting into it um have you guys had any 1197 00:44:20,930 --> 00:44:18,480 I'd be curious actually what do you guys 1198 00:44:23,270 --> 00:44:20,940 have you had a moment of sort of being 1199 00:44:24,950 --> 00:44:23,280 pulled into something brand new that you 1200 00:44:27,290 --> 00:44:24,960 didn't have any exposure to historically 1201 00:44:28,550 --> 00:44:27,300 uh what about you Leah 1202 00:44:32,990 --> 00:44:28,560 you know 1203 00:44:35,530 --> 00:44:33,000 I would say UFOs but like that's what 1204 00:44:39,170 --> 00:44:35,540 what I've only been pulled into is like 1205 00:44:41,390 --> 00:44:39,180 the post 2017 discourse is totally new 1206 00:44:44,870 --> 00:44:41,400 to me because my experience with UFOs 1207 00:44:48,890 --> 00:44:44,880 was like 1990s like X-Files Art Bell 1208 00:44:49,910 --> 00:44:48,900 stuff not Tic Tacs and you know 1209 00:44:52,490 --> 00:44:49,920 obviously the government's always 1210 00:44:55,130 --> 00:44:52,500 factored into these ideas but it seems 1211 00:44:57,230 --> 00:44:55,140 the post 2017 landscape of the subject 1212 00:44:59,329 --> 00:44:57,240 is predominantly sort of government and 1213 00:45:01,790 --> 00:44:59,339 Military driven 1214 00:45:04,250 --> 00:45:01,800 um that's true I um I've explained this 1215 00:45:05,750 --> 00:45:04,260 a couple times but I was on like I had 1216 00:45:08,329 --> 00:45:05,760 stepped away from all paranormal 1217 00:45:10,670 --> 00:45:08,339 subjects uh like five six years ago and 1218 00:45:13,250 --> 00:45:10,680 I I was in between jobs at the time when 1219 00:45:16,910 --> 00:45:13,260 uh when that 2017 thing came out that 1220 00:45:18,650 --> 00:45:16,920 kind of got me re-interested too what is 1221 00:45:20,990 --> 00:45:18,660 it with UFOs and being an unemployed 1222 00:45:22,970 --> 00:45:21,000 degenerate like that's what got me into 1223 00:45:24,770 --> 00:45:22,980 it like I don't I don't I didn't have a 1224 00:45:27,190 --> 00:45:24,780 job and I was like well I think I'm 1225 00:45:31,130 --> 00:45:27,200 gonna get into Twitter and into UFOs 1226 00:45:32,930 --> 00:45:31,140 the two big brain Hobbies of course like 1227 00:45:34,309 --> 00:45:32,940 I had been interested in UFOs as a kid 1228 00:45:36,410 --> 00:45:34,319 growing up like you mentioned too like 1229 00:45:38,210 --> 00:45:36,420 X-Files unself mystery sightings all 1230 00:45:40,670 --> 00:45:38,220 that kind of stuff in the 80s and 90s 1231 00:45:42,950 --> 00:45:40,680 but that did bring me back in I mean 1232 00:45:44,030 --> 00:45:42,960 that headline was pretty attention 1233 00:45:48,250 --> 00:45:44,040 grabbing 1234 00:45:52,790 --> 00:45:51,230 it seems pretty significant at the time 1235 00:45:55,069 --> 00:45:52,800 um before we got into a lot of the 1236 00:45:57,170 --> 00:45:55,079 details of it obviously but uh but yeah 1237 00:45:58,609 --> 00:45:57,180 I mean that that was kind of a I think 1238 00:46:00,170 --> 00:45:58,619 that's a lot of people's entry point now 1239 00:46:02,510 --> 00:46:00,180 or at least a lot of the uh the current 1240 00:46:04,609 --> 00:46:02,520 people that we interact with on a daily 1241 00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:04,619 basis like part of the the new community 1242 00:46:10,309 --> 00:46:07,200 is uh we're all kind of introduced with 1243 00:46:12,770 --> 00:46:10,319 this it definitely made a splash 1244 00:46:16,010 --> 00:46:12,780 yeah what about you Louise 1245 00:46:19,430 --> 00:46:16,020 uh probably so researching like 1246 00:46:21,170 --> 00:46:19,440 blavatsky and that sort of um what 1247 00:46:24,230 --> 00:46:21,180 triggered that was there a specific 1248 00:46:27,589 --> 00:46:24,240 incident are you a theosophist Lewis you 1249 00:46:37,510 --> 00:46:29,569 um 1250 00:46:40,309 --> 00:46:37,520 I read a few of Jacque Valley's books 1251 00:46:41,930 --> 00:46:40,319 but then um it was a probably Jacques 1252 00:46:43,370 --> 00:46:41,940 Valley kind of got me into thinking 1253 00:46:45,829 --> 00:46:43,380 about 1254 00:46:47,030 --> 00:46:45,839 um the psychological aspects of the 1255 00:46:50,150 --> 00:46:47,040 whole 1256 00:46:52,250 --> 00:46:50,160 um 1257 00:46:53,630 --> 00:46:52,260 but yeah I guess I guess it was Jacques 1258 00:46:55,010 --> 00:46:53,640 Valley uh even though I don't really 1259 00:46:57,770 --> 00:46:55,020 credit his 1260 00:46:59,589 --> 00:46:57,780 take ultimately I think I'm ready some 1261 00:47:01,190 --> 00:46:59,599 points good points 1262 00:47:02,569 --> 00:47:01,200 yes 1263 00:47:04,010 --> 00:47:02,579 um and yeah you know and that was 1264 00:47:06,530 --> 00:47:04,020 interesting to me too because the New 1265 00:47:09,109 --> 00:47:06,540 York Times article had like come over 1266 00:47:11,270 --> 00:47:09,119 across my radar uh but it didn't like 1267 00:47:13,430 --> 00:47:11,280 Drop grab my attention I kind of just 1268 00:47:16,730 --> 00:47:13,440 like was like uh whatever I remember in 1269 00:47:18,710 --> 00:47:16,740 2018 in the spring with my brother I 1270 00:47:20,930 --> 00:47:18,720 pulled up the video that's the famous 1271 00:47:23,030 --> 00:47:20,940 like the gimbal or whatever and I was 1272 00:47:24,349 --> 00:47:23,040 like this thing looks weird eh and we 1273 00:47:26,210 --> 00:47:24,359 were just sitting there being like this 1274 00:47:28,970 --> 00:47:26,220 is a weird looking thing and like the 1275 00:47:30,349 --> 00:47:28,980 Pilot's emotion made it interesting but 1276 00:47:31,670 --> 00:47:30,359 I forgot about it and just like didn't 1277 00:47:33,410 --> 00:47:31,680 look at it ever again because it was 1278 00:47:35,870 --> 00:47:33,420 like okay whatever wait to see what 1279 00:47:38,690 --> 00:47:35,880 happens see what they find that right 1280 00:47:40,790 --> 00:47:38,700 yeah so Campbell so I I've read I've 1281 00:47:44,030 --> 00:47:40,800 read uapstudy.com I think it's an 1282 00:47:46,069 --> 00:47:44,040 awesome very impeccably well researched 1283 00:47:46,809 --> 00:47:46,079 well presented 1284 00:47:53,089 --> 00:47:46,819 um 1285 00:47:55,609 --> 00:47:53,099 post 2017 ufology sort of what brought 1286 00:47:57,290 --> 00:47:55,619 us to this space the the research that's 1287 00:47:58,730 --> 00:47:57,300 been done on it 1288 00:48:00,410 --> 00:47:58,740 um particularly through you know as 1289 00:48:02,329 --> 00:48:00,420 you've mentioned this lens of basically 1290 00:48:06,109 --> 00:48:02,339 like Plasma Research 1291 00:48:07,910 --> 00:48:06,119 um in physics and it's with this not 1292 00:48:10,609 --> 00:48:07,920 with knowing the structure of this 1293 00:48:13,069 --> 00:48:10,619 initiative that you've crafted I am 1294 00:48:15,109 --> 00:48:13,079 curious to know what your views are on 1295 00:48:17,270 --> 00:48:15,119 like these psychosocial phenomena or 1296 00:48:19,849 --> 00:48:17,280 like the valet or mythology side of 1297 00:48:22,010 --> 00:48:19,859 things because you know like like that 1298 00:48:24,770 --> 00:48:22,020 to me is the really kind of like 1299 00:48:25,790 --> 00:48:24,780 um amorphous side of the community 1300 00:48:28,910 --> 00:48:25,800 um I don't think we see too many 1301 00:48:30,650 --> 00:48:28,920 government reports on it and uh I'm 1302 00:48:31,370 --> 00:48:30,660 super curious what your views are on 1303 00:48:37,849 --> 00:48:31,380 that 1304 00:48:40,430 --> 00:48:37,859 uh aspect of it in the final uh chapter 1305 00:48:42,230 --> 00:48:40,440 of the website chapter 10. so 1306 00:48:45,109 --> 00:48:42,240 um it might be jumping the gun a bit to 1307 00:48:47,150 --> 00:48:45,119 start with that but uh 1308 00:48:49,849 --> 00:48:47,160 um I find that an interesting element so 1309 00:48:51,230 --> 00:48:49,859 I'll just uh very briefly touch on sort 1310 00:48:52,609 --> 00:48:51,240 of the the essence of what you're 1311 00:48:54,530 --> 00:48:52,619 describing 1312 00:48:56,809 --> 00:48:54,540 um and Jason colovito actually did this 1313 00:48:59,589 --> 00:48:56,819 very effectively on Mick West's podcast 1314 00:49:01,550 --> 00:48:59,599 when he was on there talking with him 1315 00:49:05,630 --> 00:49:01,560 basically 1316 00:49:08,630 --> 00:49:05,640 um there was a merger in the 20th 1317 00:49:11,930 --> 00:49:08,640 century of a variety of folklore 1318 00:49:15,230 --> 00:49:11,940 traditions of seeing luminous objects uh 1319 00:49:17,950 --> 00:49:15,240 behaving in unusual ways and 1320 00:49:20,809 --> 00:49:17,960 um essentially this emergence of the UFO 1321 00:49:22,730 --> 00:49:20,819 uh as uh you know concurrent with the 1322 00:49:25,790 --> 00:49:22,740 end of World War II all of that stuff 1323 00:49:28,069 --> 00:49:25,800 and an interpret valeted such an 1324 00:49:30,370 --> 00:49:28,079 effective job after the fact starting in 1325 00:49:33,530 --> 00:49:30,380 the 60s and moving forward of 1326 00:49:35,870 --> 00:49:33,540 retrospectively observing the described 1327 00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:35,880 features from the subjective perspective 1328 00:49:41,690 --> 00:49:38,819 of the experiences and then going 1329 00:49:44,510 --> 00:49:41,700 through history especially Western uh 1330 00:49:48,050 --> 00:49:44,520 folklore and seeing extremely close 1331 00:49:51,410 --> 00:49:48,060 parallels uh which is a very uh to um 1332 00:49:53,390 --> 00:49:51,420 elves and ghosts and fairies and all 1333 00:49:54,650 --> 00:49:53,400 this stuff very similar descriptions and 1334 00:49:55,670 --> 00:49:54,660 it's uh similar to what you were 1335 00:49:57,650 --> 00:49:55,680 actually describing about that 1336 00:50:02,270 --> 00:49:57,660 individual at that conference I suppose 1337 00:50:03,770 --> 00:50:02,280 these subjective similarities 1338 00:50:06,290 --> 00:50:03,780 um yeah so that's a very interesting 1339 00:50:08,990 --> 00:50:06,300 element and it's the observation versus 1340 00:50:10,430 --> 00:50:09,000 interpretation that drives all of this 1341 00:50:12,290 --> 00:50:10,440 you know because it's like okay starting 1342 00:50:14,030 --> 00:50:12,300 with Obama president former president 1343 00:50:15,410 --> 00:50:14,040 Obama he's saying like we're observing 1344 00:50:17,450 --> 00:50:15,420 these things and they're behaving in 1345 00:50:19,970 --> 00:50:17,460 ways that are hard to explain he could 1346 00:50:21,290 --> 00:50:19,980 be talking about balloons he could be 1347 00:50:22,730 --> 00:50:21,300 talking about whatever it's not like oh 1348 00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:22,740 this is definitely something new and 1349 00:50:26,930 --> 00:50:24,720 wild and uh could be aliens he never 1350 00:50:28,670 --> 00:50:26,940 said anything like that but strange that 1351 00:50:30,290 --> 00:50:28,680 he even introduced maybe you should look 1352 00:50:31,450 --> 00:50:30,300 at this even 1353 00:50:34,730 --> 00:50:31,460 um 1354 00:50:36,230 --> 00:50:34,740 so after Obama said that I said I read 1355 00:50:38,270 --> 00:50:36,240 the New York Times article meaningfully 1356 00:50:39,950 --> 00:50:38,280 for the first time I got an essence of 1357 00:50:41,990 --> 00:50:39,960 what was being described I became 1358 00:50:44,030 --> 00:50:42,000 familiar with the idea of like the 1359 00:50:45,770 --> 00:50:44,040 Nimitz Tic Tac and that was very strange 1360 00:50:47,690 --> 00:50:45,780 to me I didn't I couldn't understand 1361 00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:47,700 what I was reading really because I was 1362 00:50:51,950 --> 00:50:49,920 like this isn't like a alien spaceship 1363 00:50:54,650 --> 00:50:51,960 from anything that I've sort of picked 1364 00:50:56,809 --> 00:50:54,660 up on historically right so 1365 00:50:58,430 --> 00:50:56,819 uh I was confused by what was being 1366 00:51:00,829 --> 00:50:58,440 described 1367 00:51:02,569 --> 00:51:00,839 um and then I started doing just like 1368 00:51:03,230 --> 00:51:02,579 some generic 1369 00:51:06,829 --> 00:51:03,240 um 1370 00:51:10,670 --> 00:51:06,839 searches on like research databases uh 1371 00:51:12,410 --> 00:51:10,680 for UAP related Publications in physics 1372 00:51:13,849 --> 00:51:12,420 journals Natural Science journals Earth 1373 00:51:16,549 --> 00:51:13,859 Sciences journals 1374 00:51:20,150 --> 00:51:16,559 and that's when these very interesting 1375 00:51:22,849 --> 00:51:20,160 published physics papers were coming up 1376 00:51:24,530 --> 00:51:22,859 um and then the most important one the 1377 00:51:27,530 --> 00:51:24,540 first one that I found that was the most 1378 00:51:29,690 --> 00:51:27,540 significant was the one that I lead uh 1379 00:51:32,030 --> 00:51:29,700 the website with in following the 1380 00:51:35,049 --> 00:51:32,040 introduction which was 1381 00:51:37,730 --> 00:51:35,059 um to investigate or not to investigate 1382 00:51:40,849 --> 00:51:37,740 is the intro of the title it was 1383 00:51:41,390 --> 00:51:40,859 published in I believe 2016 in 1384 00:51:43,609 --> 00:51:41,400 um 1385 00:51:46,250 --> 00:51:43,619 I can't remember the Journal of uh 1386 00:51:50,150 --> 00:51:46,260 Frontiers in Earth Science by 1387 00:51:52,609 --> 00:51:50,160 Quran and faridi and it describes a 1388 00:51:54,530 --> 00:51:52,619 series of field study observations in a 1389 00:51:58,010 --> 00:51:54,540 variety of places around the world 1390 00:52:01,089 --> 00:51:58,020 and it talks about luminous objects in 1391 00:52:05,270 --> 00:52:01,099 the Earth's atmosphere behaving in ways 1392 00:52:06,410 --> 00:52:05,280 that are inconsistent with 1393 00:52:10,430 --> 00:52:06,420 um 1394 00:52:12,770 --> 00:52:10,440 previously recognized objects it's a 1395 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:12,780 near instantaneous accelerations to 8 1396 00:52:18,230 --> 00:52:14,720 000 meters per second 1397 00:52:20,809 --> 00:52:18,240 very variety of colors all of the things 1398 00:52:23,329 --> 00:52:20,819 do the talking point thing about uaps 1399 00:52:25,809 --> 00:52:23,339 wait what'd you think will you describe 1400 00:52:28,490 --> 00:52:25,819 them all all the characters oh yes 1401 00:52:31,250 --> 00:52:28,500 that's the introduction of the UK 1402 00:52:34,190 --> 00:52:31,260 Ministry of Defense report right yes yes 1403 00:52:36,109 --> 00:52:34,200 uh oh God yeah I haven't said it in like 1404 00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:36,119 a month or two now I'm like you know 1405 00:52:45,049 --> 00:52:43,549 yeah yeah let me capable of hovering 1406 00:52:46,970 --> 00:52:45,059 Landing accelerating to exceptional 1407 00:52:48,589 --> 00:52:46,980 velocities and Vanishing that can help 1408 00:52:49,690 --> 00:52:48,599 maneuver any known vehicle Mander 1409 00:52:52,069 --> 00:52:49,700 unmanned 1410 00:52:54,530 --> 00:52:52,079 yes this game's perfect but that's from 1411 00:52:56,690 --> 00:52:54,540 the United but uh yeah so this paper 1412 00:52:58,790 --> 00:52:56,700 published in 2016 it came up when I was 1413 00:53:00,470 --> 00:52:58,800 just looking up UAP in a research 1414 00:53:03,589 --> 00:53:00,480 database it's a peer-reviewed physics 1415 00:53:06,109 --> 00:53:03,599 paper and it lists all of the features 1416 00:53:09,049 --> 00:53:06,119 uh of what you'd think would be like oh 1417 00:53:12,470 --> 00:53:09,059 a UFO and then it says 1418 00:53:15,290 --> 00:53:12,480 um there has been a spectrographic uh 1419 00:53:17,329 --> 00:53:15,300 evidence that has verified conclusively 1420 00:53:22,130 --> 00:53:17,339 in a paper in physical reviews letter 1421 00:53:25,010 --> 00:53:22,140 review letters in 2014 of a uh confirmed 1422 00:53:27,770 --> 00:53:25,020 observation of a ball lightning which is 1423 00:53:32,510 --> 00:53:27,780 was the nucleus was four feet across and 1424 00:53:35,210 --> 00:53:32,520 the Luminosity was 16 feet across as uh 1425 00:53:37,849 --> 00:53:35,220 been verified that ball lightning can be 1426 00:53:40,609 --> 00:53:37,859 that large and do exist in Earth's 1427 00:53:42,530 --> 00:53:40,619 atmosphere and when I read that and I 1428 00:53:44,329 --> 00:53:42,540 read this review paper showing all of 1429 00:53:46,970 --> 00:53:44,339 the different field study 1430 00:53:48,049 --> 00:53:46,980 you know information describing these 1431 00:53:50,809 --> 00:53:48,059 objects 1432 00:53:52,490 --> 00:53:50,819 I was I didn't understand what I was 1433 00:53:54,109 --> 00:53:52,500 reading because 1434 00:53:55,849 --> 00:53:54,119 nobody in the New York Times said 1435 00:53:58,430 --> 00:53:55,859 anything about ball lightning existing 1436 00:54:01,309 --> 00:53:58,440 if it has been verified conclusively 1437 00:54:04,010 --> 00:54:01,319 that luminous objects with this variety 1438 00:54:05,150 --> 00:54:04,020 of features exist and there's atmosphere 1439 00:54:07,490 --> 00:54:05,160 it should be part of the main 1440 00:54:09,470 --> 00:54:07,500 conversation shouldn't it and yet it is 1441 00:54:10,790 --> 00:54:09,480 not and that's interesting to me so I 1442 00:54:12,049 --> 00:54:10,800 started looking into it in more depth 1443 00:54:15,170 --> 00:54:12,059 because of that 1444 00:54:17,690 --> 00:54:15,180 right I mean this uh this isn't a new 1445 00:54:20,210 --> 00:54:17,700 connection either I mean people have 1446 00:54:24,109 --> 00:54:20,220 been saying this since the 50s right 1447 00:54:26,569 --> 00:54:24,119 uh at least the 50s yes uh uh Arthur C 1448 00:54:28,910 --> 00:54:26,579 Clarke uh wrote a series of papers in 1449 00:54:31,370 --> 00:54:28,920 the 50s describing that he's quite 1450 00:54:33,650 --> 00:54:31,380 convinced that based on the described 1451 00:54:35,990 --> 00:54:33,660 features which were the same exact 1452 00:54:38,990 --> 00:54:36,000 features including what he said as near 1453 00:54:40,910 --> 00:54:39,000 instantaneous silent accelerations yep 1454 00:54:43,010 --> 00:54:40,920 led him to conclude that these were 1455 00:54:44,390 --> 00:54:43,020 likely to be plasmoids I.E ball 1456 00:54:45,710 --> 00:54:44,400 lightning 1457 00:54:47,329 --> 00:54:45,720 um and they're silent and they're in 1458 00:54:49,970 --> 00:54:47,339 their instantaneous acceleration because 1459 00:54:52,309 --> 00:54:49,980 they are a ball of just pure energy and 1460 00:54:53,630 --> 00:54:52,319 basically the energy cuts through the 1461 00:54:56,569 --> 00:54:53,640 atmosphere the end air doesn't have to 1462 00:54:58,430 --> 00:54:56,579 go around it so there's no Sonic booms 1463 00:55:01,190 --> 00:54:58,440 um and they use those on they use Plasma 1464 00:55:03,170 --> 00:55:01,200 on aircraft stealth aircraft now uh or 1465 00:55:04,130 --> 00:55:03,180 at least are developing the systems to 1466 00:55:06,109 --> 00:55:04,140 produce that exact same effect 1467 00:55:07,849 --> 00:55:06,119 eliminating any Sonic Boom while 1468 00:55:10,730 --> 00:55:07,859 traveling 1469 00:55:12,410 --> 00:55:10,740 um well these uh these uh 1470 00:55:14,329 --> 00:55:12,420 characteristics that you're describing 1471 00:55:16,130 --> 00:55:14,339 sound like a lot of classical cases in 1472 00:55:17,690 --> 00:55:16,140 fact they sound a lot like what was 1473 00:55:19,430 --> 00:55:17,700 described in the Lake Michigan case that 1474 00:55:21,109 --> 00:55:19,440 we were talking about before yeah yeah 1475 00:55:23,809 --> 00:55:21,119 and there are okay and this has got 1476 00:55:26,630 --> 00:55:23,819 interesting because there are published 1477 00:55:30,049 --> 00:55:26,640 field studies for example from hezdala 1478 00:55:32,710 --> 00:55:30,059 Norway in 2004 published in the um 1479 00:55:35,450 --> 00:55:32,720 Journal of um 1480 00:55:38,930 --> 00:55:35,460 exploration thank you yes it's not the 1481 00:55:43,010 --> 00:55:38,940 it's not an excellent publication it 1482 00:55:45,049 --> 00:55:43,020 yeah and it was it's dedicated to 1483 00:55:46,910 --> 00:55:45,059 um like Frontier science but they also 1484 00:55:47,870 --> 00:55:46,920 include things that are like Paranormal 1485 00:55:50,270 --> 00:55:47,880 and stuff it doesn't have a great 1486 00:55:52,790 --> 00:55:50,280 reputation so uh you can't lean on this 1487 00:55:54,710 --> 00:55:52,800 paper hard but it is it's not Adventure 1488 00:55:57,890 --> 00:55:54,720 in other words it's not physical review 1489 00:56:07,010 --> 00:55:57,900 letters from 2014. um and which confirms 1490 00:56:12,530 --> 00:56:08,930 um but and there's a third ineffable 1491 00:56:14,690 --> 00:56:12,540 thing yes exactly and that's uh isn't 1492 00:56:18,770 --> 00:56:14,700 that uh appropriate for the reality of 1493 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:18,780 UFOs right yes yes 1494 00:56:23,569 --> 00:56:20,400 um and so there are a variety of field 1495 00:56:26,030 --> 00:56:23,579 studies there was a bunch of reports uh 1496 00:56:28,250 --> 00:56:26,040 in hezdalen the sign like you know 1497 00:56:30,349 --> 00:56:28,260 legitimate physical scientist from Italy 1498 00:56:32,089 --> 00:56:30,359 went there from actually the medicina 1499 00:56:34,569 --> 00:56:32,099 radio telescope study researchers they 1500 00:56:38,630 --> 00:56:34,579 were a bunch of equipment up there 1501 00:56:40,490 --> 00:56:38,640 vlf receivers very low frequency radio 1502 00:56:41,750 --> 00:56:40,500 receivers all kinds of radio equipment 1503 00:56:43,630 --> 00:56:41,760 to sort of pick it up because they're 1504 00:56:46,130 --> 00:56:43,640 familiar with radio like energy 1505 00:56:48,049 --> 00:56:46,140 Transmissions right they got a bunch of 1506 00:56:49,370 --> 00:56:48,059 interesting observations that are 1507 00:56:51,710 --> 00:56:49,380 consistent with the sort of description 1508 00:56:53,470 --> 00:56:51,720 so we would uh expect they didn't get 1509 00:56:56,150 --> 00:56:53,480 high enough resolution 1510 00:56:58,010 --> 00:56:56,160 spectrographic evidence or radar returns 1511 00:57:02,710 --> 00:56:58,020 or anything to say like this is proven 1512 00:57:06,109 --> 00:57:02,720 sure so it's just a big pile of evidence 1513 00:57:08,690 --> 00:57:06,119 that doesn't conclude anything until we 1514 00:57:10,670 --> 00:57:08,700 have 2014 which is proof that the 1515 00:57:13,010 --> 00:57:10,680 objects can be that big but it was a 1516 00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:13,020 brief observation and that object did 1517 00:57:16,490 --> 00:57:14,640 not demonstrate the most maybe 1518 00:57:18,589 --> 00:57:16,500 interesting elements we didn't see it 1519 00:57:21,170 --> 00:57:18,599 instantaneously accelerate we didn't see 1520 00:57:23,210 --> 00:57:21,180 it do all these other things so we know 1521 00:57:26,210 --> 00:57:23,220 that there are luminous objects four 1522 00:57:28,190 --> 00:57:26,220 feet to 16 feet in diameter plus the 1523 00:57:30,950 --> 00:57:28,200 science shows that these things can be 1524 00:57:31,910 --> 00:57:30,960 as big as the energy allows for we know 1525 00:57:35,510 --> 00:57:31,920 that those things exist in the 1526 00:57:37,910 --> 00:57:35,520 atmosphere there so my reasoning was 1527 00:57:40,609 --> 00:57:37,920 seems like this should be 1528 00:57:42,349 --> 00:57:40,619 for the most extraordinary instances for 1529 00:57:44,750 --> 00:57:42,359 which everything else is discounted and 1530 00:57:48,410 --> 00:57:44,760 people are saying therefore aliens 1531 00:57:51,109 --> 00:57:48,420 it feels like this should probably be in 1532 00:57:54,710 --> 00:57:51,119 the middle there before aliens and the 1533 00:57:57,530 --> 00:57:54,720 fact that it is not is just uh at this 1534 00:57:59,930 --> 00:57:57,540 point anthropologically fascinating to 1535 00:58:01,250 --> 00:57:59,940 me sure it's probably actually what's 1536 00:58:03,290 --> 00:58:01,260 driving most of my interest in the 1537 00:58:04,069 --> 00:58:03,300 subject at this point because 1538 00:58:06,530 --> 00:58:04,079 um 1539 00:58:09,049 --> 00:58:06,540 I don't know once once you go through 1540 00:58:11,450 --> 00:58:09,059 like 200 physics papers on the subject 1541 00:58:14,870 --> 00:58:11,460 of plasma and ball lightning you're 1542 00:58:17,450 --> 00:58:14,880 seeing uh so much information that 1543 00:58:20,150 --> 00:58:17,460 indicates that all of the things that 1544 00:58:22,549 --> 00:58:20,160 people have talked about so 1545 00:58:24,950 --> 00:58:22,559 in such detail for so long have 1546 00:58:27,710 --> 00:58:24,960 plausible sufficient and in many cases 1547 00:58:29,870 --> 00:58:27,720 verified through uh laboratory 1548 00:58:31,790 --> 00:58:29,880 experiment uh characteristics that are 1549 00:58:33,770 --> 00:58:31,800 perfectly consistent with the historic 1550 00:58:37,069 --> 00:58:33,780 eyewitness reports of the most 1551 00:58:40,549 --> 00:58:37,079 extraordinary UFO cases and so it's like 1552 00:58:41,569 --> 00:58:40,559 a pretty neat I think because of that 1553 00:58:44,809 --> 00:58:41,579 um 1554 00:58:46,309 --> 00:58:44,819 I'm continually like one of Kimbo one of 1555 00:58:48,069 --> 00:58:46,319 my favorite things you've talked about 1556 00:58:50,510 --> 00:58:48,079 is 1557 00:58:53,030 --> 00:58:50,520 the interaction with the skeptic 1558 00:58:55,010 --> 00:58:53,040 Community about ball lightning 1559 00:58:57,530 --> 00:58:55,020 um and I think it's always worth calling 1560 00:58:59,510 --> 00:58:57,540 out a second time that 2014 was when 1561 00:59:02,450 --> 00:58:59,520 ball lightning was scientifically proven 1562 00:59:05,450 --> 00:59:02,460 to exist right until then like there was 1563 00:59:06,890 --> 00:59:05,460 no you know it was thought to exist and 1564 00:59:08,870 --> 00:59:06,900 believed to exist but there was no 1565 00:59:11,030 --> 00:59:08,880 actual evidence of it which is pretty 1566 00:59:12,650 --> 00:59:11,040 mind-blowing right it's really cool it 1567 00:59:15,109 --> 00:59:12,660 was contentious about ball lightning I 1568 00:59:16,730 --> 00:59:15,119 think there are a lot of Skeptics who 1569 00:59:18,410 --> 00:59:16,740 said that there wasn't enough evidence 1570 00:59:20,510 --> 00:59:18,420 do you say that like yeah this is an 1571 00:59:23,210 --> 00:59:20,520 established thing so I and people kind 1572 00:59:26,690 --> 00:59:23,220 of chalked it up with other woo almost 1573 00:59:28,250 --> 00:59:26,700 yeah and Campbell you have like didn't 1574 00:59:29,390 --> 00:59:28,260 you have an experience like that I'm 1575 00:59:31,730 --> 00:59:29,400 like the Reddit skeptic Community 1576 00:59:34,789 --> 00:59:31,740 talking about ball lightning 1577 00:59:38,030 --> 00:59:34,799 uh people yes I've had a few experiences 1578 00:59:41,630 --> 00:59:38,040 like that with uh Skeptics and um the 1579 00:59:43,069 --> 00:59:41,640 underlying philosophy is uh a hundred 1580 00:59:45,950 --> 00:59:43,079 percent 1581 00:59:47,569 --> 00:59:45,960 um correct in my opinion what they what 1582 00:59:49,490 --> 00:59:47,579 what the Skeptics will approach this 1583 00:59:51,109 --> 00:59:49,500 subject of ball lightning with 1584 00:59:53,210 --> 00:59:51,119 and it's actually summarized very 1585 00:59:55,309 --> 00:59:53,220 effectively in a part of the website so 1586 00:59:58,789 --> 00:59:55,319 it like it's all just uh briefly say 1587 01:00:01,130 --> 00:59:58,799 like in 2006 um in skeptic magazine a 1588 01:00:02,809 --> 01:00:01,140 author wrote a whole piece arguing in 1589 01:00:03,950 --> 01:00:02,819 favor of ball lightning and they were 1590 01:00:06,289 --> 01:00:03,960 arguing that there have been so many 1591 01:00:09,530 --> 01:00:06,299 thousands of observations hundreds of uh 1592 01:00:11,750 --> 01:00:09,540 High credibilities people like all these 1593 01:00:13,670 --> 01:00:11,760 photos and all this stuff and it's like 1594 01:00:16,849 --> 01:00:13,680 therefore like it's more likely than not 1595 01:00:20,510 --> 01:00:16,859 these things do exist and then 1596 01:00:23,030 --> 01:00:20,520 um a response was published which says 1597 01:00:25,490 --> 01:00:23,040 that's not sufficient evidence we can't 1598 01:00:26,809 --> 01:00:25,500 take people's word for it uh you know 1599 01:00:28,490 --> 01:00:26,819 it's like 1600 01:00:29,990 --> 01:00:28,500 sir yeah anyway you could go through any 1601 01:00:31,789 --> 01:00:30,000 example it's like the number of people 1602 01:00:33,470 --> 01:00:31,799 saying they're seeing it and the 1603 01:00:35,870 --> 01:00:33,480 questionable photos don't prove a 1604 01:00:38,510 --> 01:00:35,880 phenomenon sure and like that is correct 1605 01:00:40,789 --> 01:00:38,520 and so then it was from then until 2014 1606 01:00:43,970 --> 01:00:40,799 that that was sort of like okay we're 1607 01:00:45,890 --> 01:00:43,980 gonna like say we yeah what about the 1608 01:00:51,829 --> 01:00:45,900 kind of 1609 01:00:54,230 --> 01:00:51,839 intelligence into plasma and and I bring 1610 01:00:57,430 --> 01:00:54,240 this up because one of the things I was 1611 01:00:59,109 --> 01:00:57,440 asked in a Twitter space once by Jess 1612 01:01:02,210 --> 01:00:59,119 rjs 1613 01:01:05,470 --> 01:01:02,220 Twitter Jazz go kick rocks 1614 01:01:09,730 --> 01:01:05,480 um was whether or not I thought plasma 1615 01:01:12,710 --> 01:01:09,740 behaved or belied uh some kind of 1616 01:01:15,890 --> 01:01:12,720 intelligence or Consciousness right 1617 01:01:18,289 --> 01:01:15,900 that's strange yes 1618 01:01:21,230 --> 01:01:18,299 um yes I was I remember I can see myself 1619 01:01:23,270 --> 01:01:21,240 I was soaking in the hot bath like you 1620 01:01:25,370 --> 01:01:23,280 know taking it all in enjoying my like 1621 01:01:27,650 --> 01:01:25,380 evening role play as a swamp witch 1622 01:01:29,690 --> 01:01:27,660 thinking what the [\h__\h] am I gonna say to 1623 01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:29,700 this person I don't know like I just got 1624 01:01:32,870 --> 01:01:31,740 done talking about sex rituals like I 1625 01:01:35,150 --> 01:01:32,880 don't have anything to say about whether 1626 01:01:37,609 --> 01:01:35,160 people has an Ascension like I have no 1627 01:01:40,190 --> 01:01:37,619 idea I think we've talked about this on 1628 01:01:42,230 --> 01:01:40,200 a space quite a while ago but like as an 1629 01:01:44,870 --> 01:01:42,240 observer of a phenomenon like that how 1630 01:01:46,750 --> 01:01:44,880 are we distinguishing intelligence from 1631 01:01:49,010 --> 01:01:46,760 randomness 1632 01:01:50,390 --> 01:01:49,020 how much are we projecting our own 1633 01:01:52,010 --> 01:01:50,400 heuristics of what indicates 1634 01:01:55,190 --> 01:01:52,020 Consciousness or intelligence and also 1635 01:01:57,530 --> 01:01:55,200 okay yeah like like I mean like Conway's 1636 01:01:59,990 --> 01:01:57,540 Game of Life like demonstrates that 1637 01:02:02,150 --> 01:02:00,000 self-organizing behavior which looks to 1638 01:02:04,670 --> 01:02:02,160 us like intelligent behavior is 1639 01:02:06,650 --> 01:02:04,680 algorithmic like it's algorithmic like 1640 01:02:09,589 --> 01:02:06,660 very tiny scales like if you have like 1641 01:02:11,390 --> 01:02:09,599 just a 9x9 grid and you play it by like 1642 01:02:13,130 --> 01:02:11,400 Conway's algorithms it will 1643 01:02:15,770 --> 01:02:13,140 self-organize and behave in ways that 1644 01:02:18,710 --> 01:02:15,780 are very much uh reminiscent of how 1645 01:02:23,410 --> 01:02:18,720 living organisms behave yeah but anyway 1646 01:02:26,630 --> 01:02:23,420 Campbell so is the plasma conscious 1647 01:02:28,849 --> 01:02:26,640 uh that has not been verified based on 1648 01:02:30,950 --> 01:02:28,859 anything I am aware of 1649 01:02:33,170 --> 01:02:30,960 um it's a pretty interesting thing 1650 01:02:35,270 --> 01:02:33,180 though okay so it's like how does it 1651 01:02:36,829 --> 01:02:35,280 emerge that that would even be a 1652 01:02:39,170 --> 01:02:36,839 question that's asked of you right like 1653 01:02:42,170 --> 01:02:39,180 why is somebody asking you if you think 1654 01:02:46,130 --> 01:02:42,180 plasma is conscious now uh and let me 1655 01:02:48,109 --> 01:02:46,140 point out like before May 2021 I had 1656 01:02:49,250 --> 01:02:48,119 never even thought about plasma if 1657 01:02:50,750 --> 01:02:49,260 somebody asked me what plasma was I 1658 01:02:52,609 --> 01:02:50,760 would have said some an element of blood 1659 01:02:55,490 --> 01:02:52,619 or something yeah so it wasn't on my 1660 01:02:58,069 --> 01:02:55,500 state of matter yes exactly it's like uh 1661 01:03:00,730 --> 01:02:58,079 yeah um Pure Energy well not Pure Energy 1662 01:03:02,390 --> 01:03:00,740 but energy being Guided by 1663 01:03:03,349 --> 01:03:02,400 magnetohydrodynamics exactly we were 1664 01:03:05,710 --> 01:03:03,359 describing just sort of like 1665 01:03:08,870 --> 01:03:05,720 thermodynamics the basic physics and it 1666 01:03:13,030 --> 01:03:08,880 self-organizes in a variety of ways that 1667 01:03:15,710 --> 01:03:13,040 appear to us to exhibit some kind of 1668 01:03:17,329 --> 01:03:15,720 conscious intent but and it's 1669 01:03:20,390 --> 01:03:17,339 interesting to think that like looking 1670 01:03:23,690 --> 01:03:20,400 up at the stars fifteen thousand years 1671 01:03:26,809 --> 01:03:23,700 ago or whatever us attributing conscious 1672 01:03:28,789 --> 01:03:26,819 intent to the predictable rhythmic 1673 01:03:31,609 --> 01:03:28,799 nature of those 1674 01:03:33,109 --> 01:03:31,619 um you know natural phenomena we created 1675 01:03:35,089 --> 01:03:33,119 all the ideas and the gods literally 1676 01:03:37,970 --> 01:03:35,099 were those objects that were moving in a 1677 01:03:40,670 --> 01:03:37,980 predictable way the planets like uh 1678 01:03:42,770 --> 01:03:40,680 Jupiter Deus Potter the father God right 1679 01:03:44,870 --> 01:03:42,780 like that's what it was so 1680 01:03:47,750 --> 01:03:44,880 um we have this natural inclination to 1681 01:03:50,210 --> 01:03:47,760 project internal uh intent intelligence 1682 01:03:53,089 --> 01:03:50,220 onto natural phenomena it's what keeps 1683 01:03:56,210 --> 01:03:53,099 us alive uh if you project the natural 1684 01:03:58,130 --> 01:03:56,220 like a tiger being in the bush when it 1685 01:03:59,930 --> 01:03:58,140 shakes like it's better to do that than 1686 01:04:01,670 --> 01:03:59,940 to nod and then get eaten right so so 1687 01:04:02,690 --> 01:04:01,680 it's selected for to project that type 1688 01:04:05,630 --> 01:04:02,700 of thing 1689 01:04:07,970 --> 01:04:05,640 plasma gets really interesting when it 1690 01:04:10,910 --> 01:04:07,980 starts interacting with itself in an 1691 01:04:13,609 --> 01:04:10,920 energy a high energy environment 1692 01:04:16,309 --> 01:04:13,619 um you can do this in Labs you can form 1693 01:04:19,010 --> 01:04:16,319 uh like it naturally forms balls it's 1694 01:04:21,710 --> 01:04:19,020 like energy conservation it's like 1695 01:04:23,210 --> 01:04:21,720 um it's like drops of water right so 1696 01:04:24,950 --> 01:04:23,220 you're like optimizes towards like the 1697 01:04:29,030 --> 01:04:24,960 most efficient organization or something 1698 01:04:30,710 --> 01:04:29,040 yes and um yeah and you can create tiny 1699 01:04:31,970 --> 01:04:30,720 of what's described as Tiny ball 1700 01:04:34,270 --> 01:04:31,980 Lightnings in the lab they're called 1701 01:04:36,710 --> 01:04:34,280 skirmians and they basically are 1702 01:04:39,170 --> 01:04:36,720 three-dimensional whirlpools they are 1703 01:04:41,510 --> 01:04:39,180 self-contained electromagnetic energy 1704 01:04:43,870 --> 01:04:41,520 Loops that are connected all together 1705 01:04:47,030 --> 01:04:43,880 and then they move in space 1706 01:04:49,970 --> 01:04:47,040 self-contained and like in 1707 01:04:51,770 --> 01:04:49,980 um uh the ocean a Whirlpool some can 1708 01:04:54,650 --> 01:04:51,780 grow huge and then they can travel 1709 01:04:58,010 --> 01:04:54,660 across the entire uh like massive 1710 01:05:01,130 --> 01:04:58,020 distances and transport entire um animal 1711 01:05:02,930 --> 01:05:01,140 uh communities massive distances and 1712 01:05:05,450 --> 01:05:02,940 what happened to Atlantis 1713 01:05:08,690 --> 01:05:05,460 right exactly and that's where we're 1714 01:05:11,450 --> 01:05:08,700 going with this I knew it and that's the 1715 01:05:14,210 --> 01:05:11,460 Final Chapter yeah great 1716 01:05:15,609 --> 01:05:14,220 um but uh yeah so with plasma it 1717 01:05:17,450 --> 01:05:15,619 operates according to 1718 01:05:19,910 --> 01:05:17,460 magnetohydrodynamics it's like fluid 1719 01:05:22,910 --> 01:05:19,920 dynamics and it's based on magnetism and 1720 01:05:26,450 --> 01:05:22,920 electricity and Bernoulli's principle 1721 01:05:27,890 --> 01:05:26,460 yeah and so static electricity and so 1722 01:05:30,349 --> 01:05:27,900 basically 1723 01:05:32,150 --> 01:05:30,359 something this is actually touching on a 1724 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:32,160 very important part of this which is 1725 01:05:39,010 --> 01:05:36,000 exactly the um the projection of the 1726 01:05:42,530 --> 01:05:39,020 conscious intent and the way that people 1727 01:05:44,990 --> 01:05:42,540 can be most effectively reasoned with 1728 01:05:46,730 --> 01:05:45,000 from an evidence-based perspective 1729 01:05:49,329 --> 01:05:46,740 if you are arguing with somebody who 1730 01:05:53,210 --> 01:05:49,339 disagrees with you from a um 1731 01:05:55,030 --> 01:05:53,220 from an intrinsic values based 1732 01:05:56,650 --> 01:05:55,040 personality based perspective 1733 01:05:59,150 --> 01:05:56,660 information 1734 01:06:01,370 --> 01:05:59,160 has nothing to do with convincing them 1735 01:06:03,289 --> 01:06:01,380 that's just you know it does if you 1736 01:06:05,510 --> 01:06:03,299 directly insult their intelligence I 1737 01:06:06,890 --> 01:06:05,520 found that super effective that will 1738 01:06:09,049 --> 01:06:06,900 open them up 1739 01:06:12,530 --> 01:06:09,059 yeah they will roll back they will say 1740 01:06:15,049 --> 01:06:12,540 that you're a genius yeah no 1741 01:06:16,190 --> 01:06:15,059 um but yeah so um when you study like 1742 01:06:17,690 --> 01:06:16,200 okay how do you explain how do you 1743 01:06:19,549 --> 01:06:17,700 convince somebody something you have to 1744 01:06:23,150 --> 01:06:19,559 get into you you ignore the information 1745 01:06:25,849 --> 01:06:23,160 and you target philosophy world view 1746 01:06:27,890 --> 01:06:25,859 so it's like with somebody who's saying 1747 01:06:30,650 --> 01:06:27,900 like well I saw this luminous object 1748 01:06:32,690 --> 01:06:30,660 it's an alien so you have to think like 1749 01:06:34,490 --> 01:06:32,700 it's not about like oh let's reason with 1750 01:06:36,410 --> 01:06:34,500 you that it's improbable that it's an 1751 01:06:37,430 --> 01:06:36,420 alien that's not helpful uh from a 1752 01:06:39,349 --> 01:06:37,440 scientific perspective when you're 1753 01:06:42,049 --> 01:06:39,359 trying to convince a person 1754 01:06:44,329 --> 01:06:42,059 you have to get into the philosophy and 1755 01:06:47,029 --> 01:06:44,339 the philosophy of projecting conscious 1756 01:06:50,450 --> 01:06:47,039 like the alien nature onto these objects 1757 01:06:51,589 --> 01:06:50,460 is the in the perception of intelligent 1758 01:06:54,170 --> 01:06:51,599 control 1759 01:06:55,849 --> 01:06:54,180 if you can't deal with that then it's 1760 01:06:58,069 --> 01:06:55,859 all a non-starter that's what everybody 1761 01:07:00,170 --> 01:06:58,079 instantly will come back to me with as 1762 01:07:02,210 --> 01:07:00,180 the first thing every time well but it 1763 01:07:03,829 --> 01:07:02,220 was clearly and Alive it was clearly 1764 01:07:07,910 --> 01:07:03,839 intelligent 1765 01:07:10,010 --> 01:07:07,920 and the reason that these plasmoids look 1766 01:07:12,470 --> 01:07:10,020 intelligent is because they operate 1767 01:07:16,309 --> 01:07:12,480 according to the principles of static 1768 01:07:18,589 --> 01:07:16,319 electricity and magnetohydrodynamics and 1769 01:07:21,109 --> 01:07:18,599 they're a significant number of lab 1770 01:07:23,210 --> 01:07:21,119 experiments that we can look at the 1771 01:07:25,670 --> 01:07:23,220 videos of that show 1772 01:07:29,569 --> 01:07:25,680 things as simple as flakes of carbon 1773 01:07:31,730 --> 01:07:29,579 being charged and moving in an elect an 1774 01:07:34,549 --> 01:07:31,740 energized environment in a like a 1775 01:07:37,910 --> 01:07:34,559 massive microwave and they behave 1776 01:07:40,069 --> 01:07:37,920 in the exact same ways as the in the 1777 01:07:43,010 --> 01:07:40,079 sounds absurd but the Nimitz Tic Tac is 1778 01:07:45,109 --> 01:07:43,020 described as behaving there are hundreds 1779 01:07:47,329 --> 01:07:45,119 of these flakes of the charged carbon 1780 01:07:49,069 --> 01:07:47,339 some of them go all the way up drop down 1781 01:07:50,450 --> 01:07:49,079 to sea level like we're doing this some 1782 01:07:52,430 --> 01:07:50,460 of them are doing these weird little 1783 01:07:54,349 --> 01:07:52,440 jerky motions some of them are just 1784 01:07:56,630 --> 01:07:54,359 mowing right in some of them are doing 1785 01:07:59,510 --> 01:07:56,640 this weird like leaf-like falling effect 1786 01:08:02,089 --> 01:07:59,520 that's often described there uh and then 1787 01:08:05,470 --> 01:08:02,099 it based on the energy in the microwave 1788 01:08:08,210 --> 01:08:05,480 they start spinning around in the center 1789 01:08:10,190 --> 01:08:08,220 dependent on the energy flow and all of 1790 01:08:12,109 --> 01:08:10,200 that and so 1791 01:08:15,770 --> 01:08:12,119 um you can use 1792 01:08:18,829 --> 01:08:15,780 video experiments to show 1793 01:08:20,150 --> 01:08:18,839 all of the behaviors that anybody who 1794 01:08:21,709 --> 01:08:20,160 I've ever talked to on this subject 1795 01:08:24,410 --> 01:08:21,719 coming back to me and saying like this 1796 01:08:26,209 --> 01:08:24,420 is the reason why we have to say they're 1797 01:08:30,289 --> 01:08:26,219 intelligent is because of this set of 1798 01:08:32,390 --> 01:08:30,299 behaviors and then I can show like a 1799 01:08:34,970 --> 01:08:32,400 dozen videos showing the exact Behavior 1800 01:08:37,610 --> 01:08:34,980 sets except purely operating within the 1801 01:08:39,769 --> 01:08:37,620 confines of a microwave with you know 1802 01:08:42,110 --> 01:08:39,779 charged particles and stuff and 1803 01:08:43,669 --> 01:08:42,120 and then it depends on you know how much 1804 01:08:45,590 --> 01:08:43,679 the person's open to the actual 1805 01:08:47,809 --> 01:08:45,600 information or not 1806 01:08:50,749 --> 01:08:47,819 I wonder when you uh approach people 1807 01:08:53,689 --> 01:08:50,759 with this concept it if they're holding 1808 01:08:56,510 --> 01:08:53,699 it up to kind of compare to the UFO 1809 01:08:59,209 --> 01:08:56,520 mythosa narrative as a whole instead of 1810 01:09:01,189 --> 01:08:59,219 individual cases because the UFO Mythos 1811 01:09:03,530 --> 01:09:01,199 as a whole I think a lot of people tie 1812 01:09:05,090 --> 01:09:03,540 their personalities into you know what I 1813 01:09:06,650 --> 01:09:05,100 mean it's part of them it's part of who 1814 01:09:08,390 --> 01:09:06,660 they are they're part of this UFO 1815 01:09:10,490 --> 01:09:08,400 Community that's part of this greater 1816 01:09:12,530 --> 01:09:10,500 UFO narrative and stuff like that so 1817 01:09:14,990 --> 01:09:12,540 when you know someone like Mick West 1818 01:09:17,749 --> 01:09:15,000 debunked something some video as a 1819 01:09:22,610 --> 01:09:17,759 seagull or a fly or a drone they're like 1820 01:09:24,530 --> 01:09:22,620 he's attacking UFOs he's saying all UFOs 1821 01:09:27,289 --> 01:09:24,540 or drones or seagulls or something I 1822 01:09:28,309 --> 01:09:27,299 mean you see even Dr Gary Nolan book in 1823 01:09:30,709 --> 01:09:28,319 front of Midwest saying things are 1824 01:09:32,150 --> 01:09:30,719 seagulls but it's interesting I think I 1825 01:09:33,410 --> 01:09:32,160 think if people 1826 01:09:36,829 --> 01:09:33,420 um add a different perspective on the 1827 01:09:40,370 --> 01:09:36,839 UFO Topic in general and saw it as us a 1828 01:09:42,590 --> 01:09:40,380 wide collection of individual cases of 1829 01:09:44,809 --> 01:09:42,600 unknown things I think I think people 1830 01:09:47,090 --> 01:09:44,819 would be a lot more accepting of 1831 01:09:49,010 --> 01:09:47,100 options like this or like ideas like 1832 01:09:51,050 --> 01:09:49,020 like you're presenting you know what I 1833 01:09:53,630 --> 01:09:51,060 mean because like what you're describing 1834 01:09:55,790 --> 01:09:53,640 like I said earlier describes the Lake 1835 01:09:57,770 --> 01:09:55,800 Michigan case really well it did it 1836 01:10:00,709 --> 01:09:57,780 describes the uh 1952 Washington 1837 01:10:03,530 --> 01:10:00,719 Invasion won really well too uh these 1838 01:10:04,970 --> 01:10:03,540 balls of like luminous objects uh 1839 01:10:08,689 --> 01:10:04,980 different colors moving in strange 1840 01:10:10,189 --> 01:10:08,699 patterns uh being detected on radar I 1841 01:10:12,350 --> 01:10:10,199 think is another characteristic that 1842 01:10:14,330 --> 01:10:12,360 that can happen with these things yeah I 1843 01:10:17,150 --> 01:10:14,340 think if I think if you present it on a 1844 01:10:19,010 --> 01:10:17,160 case-by-case basis which is I think how 1845 01:10:22,970 --> 01:10:19,020 UFOs should be viewed I mean there's no 1846 01:10:25,189 --> 01:10:22,980 yes like uh commonality between a lot of 1847 01:10:27,470 --> 01:10:25,199 these cases but we all classify them as 1848 01:10:29,870 --> 01:10:27,480 UFOs like a Tic Tac and what was 1849 01:10:31,610 --> 01:10:29,880 described at the Lake Michigan case you 1850 01:10:34,550 --> 01:10:31,620 wouldn't you wouldn't categorize as the 1851 01:10:36,830 --> 01:10:34,560 same thing I would think unless we have 1852 01:10:38,990 --> 01:10:36,840 this umbrella term kind of as UFOs I 1853 01:10:40,910 --> 01:10:39,000 just want I wonder about that because I 1854 01:10:43,310 --> 01:10:40,920 mean you've gotten pushback from even 1855 01:10:46,130 --> 01:10:43,320 Skeptics with this stuff right I mean 1856 01:10:48,229 --> 01:10:46,140 it's really strange I don't know if 1857 01:10:49,970 --> 01:10:48,239 that's if it's all just kind of personal 1858 01:10:51,050 --> 01:10:49,980 bias and personality being tied up into 1859 01:10:53,930 --> 01:10:51,060 it or not 1860 01:10:56,270 --> 01:10:53,940 no yeah and uh I think that uh you're 1861 01:10:57,350 --> 01:10:56,280 you're raising a good point I I think 1862 01:11:00,649 --> 01:10:57,360 that 1863 01:11:02,890 --> 01:11:00,659 um there is a big issue with 1864 01:11:05,630 --> 01:11:02,900 communication around 1865 01:11:08,689 --> 01:11:05,640 what we're even talking about when we're 1866 01:11:10,370 --> 01:11:08,699 saying UFO sure and yeah I think that 1867 01:11:12,890 --> 01:11:10,380 there's a lot of sort of there's a lot 1868 01:11:15,110 --> 01:11:12,900 of dancing on both sides 1869 01:11:17,090 --> 01:11:15,120 um about like the exact definitional 1870 01:11:19,189 --> 01:11:17,100 criteria there 1871 01:11:21,890 --> 01:11:19,199 um I would tend I mean 1872 01:11:23,870 --> 01:11:21,900 culturally I side with Skeptics 100 1873 01:11:26,870 --> 01:11:23,880 historically 1874 01:11:28,669 --> 01:11:26,880 um I don't like debunking I respect it 1875 01:11:30,590 --> 01:11:28,679 and I approve of it but I don't I've 1876 01:11:33,350 --> 01:11:30,600 never personally been involved with that 1877 01:11:34,910 --> 01:11:33,360 um I find it kind of like uh I I I've 1878 01:11:36,890 --> 01:11:34,920 kind of somebody who acts based on being 1879 01:11:39,110 --> 01:11:36,900 inspired by like finding new things 1880 01:11:40,250 --> 01:11:39,120 actively not like kind of like canceling 1881 01:11:42,229 --> 01:11:40,260 other stuff even though I think it's 1882 01:11:43,010 --> 01:11:42,239 incredibly important sure 1883 01:11:46,430 --> 01:11:43,020 um 1884 01:11:48,070 --> 01:11:46,440 but yes the underlying sort of like I've 1885 01:11:50,990 --> 01:11:48,080 wondered about this this cultural 1886 01:11:53,030 --> 01:11:51,000 phenomenon where 1887 01:11:55,669 --> 01:11:53,040 um actually let me use a brief example I 1888 01:11:58,130 --> 01:11:55,679 was arguing with somebody about this 1889 01:12:00,590 --> 01:11:58,140 exact thing ball lightning and whether 1890 01:12:02,270 --> 01:12:00,600 like some of these most prominent cases 1891 01:12:03,350 --> 01:12:02,280 might end up being resolved as ball 1892 01:12:06,770 --> 01:12:03,360 lightning 1893 01:12:10,550 --> 01:12:06,780 um and this skeptic individual 1894 01:12:11,990 --> 01:12:10,560 um was sort of saying like uh you know 1895 01:12:13,189 --> 01:12:12,000 expressing uh doubts or whatever that's 1896 01:12:14,870 --> 01:12:13,199 reasonable because it's like it's 1897 01:12:16,370 --> 01:12:14,880 probably just a variety of like mundane 1898 01:12:18,830 --> 01:12:16,380 phenomena this is sort of like something 1899 01:12:20,090 --> 01:12:18,840 that like if ball lightning has proven 1900 01:12:21,470 --> 01:12:20,100 to show these features that we're 1901 01:12:23,390 --> 01:12:21,480 talking about it would be new to science 1902 01:12:24,950 --> 01:12:23,400 if we can prove that it can do these 1903 01:12:27,410 --> 01:12:24,960 things as opposed to just a variety of 1904 01:12:29,330 --> 01:12:27,420 published uh papers of field study 1905 01:12:31,550 --> 01:12:29,340 observations of it plus the proof of all 1906 01:12:34,130 --> 01:12:31,560 lightning in itself existing 1907 01:12:36,830 --> 01:12:34,140 um so I was saying to that person I was 1908 01:12:39,410 --> 01:12:36,840 like well if we look back on the sort of 1909 01:12:40,910 --> 01:12:39,420 like culture war between the uh you know 1910 01:12:43,790 --> 01:12:40,920 truth Secrets slash Believers and 1911 01:12:44,750 --> 01:12:43,800 Skeptics and we sort of are like 1912 01:12:48,050 --> 01:12:44,760 um 1913 01:12:49,910 --> 01:12:48,060 if the objects with the features as 1914 01:12:53,570 --> 01:12:49,920 described historically 1915 01:12:54,649 --> 01:12:53,580 do exist and there turn out to be ball 1916 01:12:58,130 --> 01:12:54,659 lightning 1917 01:12:59,149 --> 01:12:58,140 like who's more wrong historically the 1918 01:13:01,010 --> 01:12:59,159 Skeptics 1919 01:13:03,770 --> 01:13:01,020 or the Believers 1920 01:13:05,810 --> 01:13:03,780 and the skeptic person said to me 1921 01:13:08,149 --> 01:13:05,820 they're both wrong equally 1922 01:13:09,530 --> 01:13:08,159 hmm I think that's interesting because I 1923 01:13:12,350 --> 01:13:09,540 disagree with that 1924 01:13:14,090 --> 01:13:12,360 because I I think it's obvious that the 1925 01:13:16,189 --> 01:13:14,100 in quotes truth Seekers were more 1926 01:13:18,410 --> 01:13:16,199 correct because they at least were 1927 01:13:20,630 --> 01:13:18,420 saying descriptively the objects with 1928 01:13:23,630 --> 01:13:20,640 these features did exist sure 1929 01:13:26,270 --> 01:13:23,640 yeah that said they are also profoundly 1930 01:13:27,649 --> 01:13:26,280 fundamentally wrong and maybe maybe in a 1931 01:13:29,810 --> 01:13:27,659 deeper sense because they're saying that 1932 01:13:31,310 --> 01:13:29,820 it's like a non-human intelligence as 1933 01:13:32,630 --> 01:13:31,320 opposed to the Skeptics always saying if 1934 01:13:34,850 --> 01:13:32,640 this is something it's likely something 1935 01:13:36,350 --> 01:13:34,860 natural even though it would be the 1936 01:13:37,669 --> 01:13:36,360 discount to the likelihood of it being 1937 01:13:39,470 --> 01:13:37,679 something new with those features 1938 01:13:41,090 --> 01:13:39,480 because I mean I never even thought for 1939 01:13:42,709 --> 01:13:41,100 a moment myself historically that that 1940 01:13:44,209 --> 01:13:42,719 would be something that would be in 1941 01:13:46,790 --> 01:13:44,219 reality something with those features 1942 01:13:48,950 --> 01:13:46,800 right but uh that yeah so yeah that's 1943 01:13:50,450 --> 01:13:48,960 been a sort of clash that I've seen 1944 01:13:52,189 --> 01:13:50,460 absolutely 1945 01:13:54,530 --> 01:13:52,199 I wanted to go back to something Nick 1946 01:13:56,689 --> 01:13:54,540 said about the 1947 01:14:00,350 --> 01:13:56,699 propensity in this community for people 1948 01:14:02,750 --> 01:14:00,360 to personalize like skeptical approaches 1949 01:14:04,910 --> 01:14:02,760 and I bring this up um because as I've 1950 01:14:08,030 --> 01:14:04,920 become much more personally interested 1951 01:14:10,850 --> 01:14:08,040 and invested in I would say the 1952 01:14:12,410 --> 01:14:10,860 experiencer phenomenology like reports 1953 01:14:15,590 --> 01:14:12,420 that people make about their personal 1954 01:14:18,350 --> 01:14:15,600 experiences yeah I've also become very 1955 01:14:21,830 --> 01:14:18,360 preoccupied with this 1956 01:14:24,470 --> 01:14:21,840 process of unyoking experience or 1957 01:14:27,470 --> 01:14:24,480 phenomena from UFOs as observed 1958 01:14:30,169 --> 01:14:27,480 phenomena and I bring this up 1959 01:14:31,490 --> 01:14:30,179 because um I have a handful of people I 1960 01:14:32,810 --> 01:14:31,500 talk to 1961 01:14:34,189 --> 01:14:32,820 um who share their experiences with me 1962 01:14:37,669 --> 01:14:34,199 who talk to me about this part of their 1963 01:14:40,310 --> 01:14:37,679 lives and one of the things I always am 1964 01:14:41,930 --> 01:14:40,320 so curious about is like how do they how 1965 01:14:44,149 --> 01:14:41,940 did they put two and two together like 1966 01:14:47,330 --> 01:14:44,159 what made them connect what they have 1967 01:14:49,790 --> 01:14:47,340 experienced with ufology because like 1968 01:14:52,630 --> 01:14:49,800 and I say that because 1969 01:14:55,250 --> 01:14:52,640 um not that I'm like the Arbiter of 1970 01:14:57,530 --> 01:14:55,260 intellectual strength or prowess or 1971 01:14:59,510 --> 01:14:57,540 whatever but like I'm pretty well 1972 01:15:01,669 --> 01:14:59,520 educated and well read in like the 1973 01:15:03,470 --> 01:15:01,679 history of religion and spirituality and 1974 01:15:06,229 --> 01:15:03,480 Theology and mysticism and all this 1975 01:15:07,970 --> 01:15:06,239 stuff and like I never made that 1976 01:15:10,189 --> 01:15:07,980 connection like I never made the 1977 01:15:11,570 --> 01:15:10,199 connection of people's 1978 01:15:14,270 --> 01:15:11,580 um like mystical or Transcendent 1979 01:15:17,390 --> 01:15:14,280 experiences with UFOs but now I mean 1980 01:15:19,250 --> 01:15:17,400 having had insight into the community 1981 01:15:20,510 --> 01:15:19,260 um it almost feels like we're talking I 1982 01:15:23,209 --> 01:15:20,520 mean obviously we're always talking 1983 01:15:27,290 --> 01:15:23,219 about kind of this like constellation of 1984 01:15:31,430 --> 01:15:27,300 subjects when we talk about UFOs but um 1985 01:15:33,169 --> 01:15:31,440 I'm I I can't help but also think that a 1986 01:15:34,669 --> 01:15:33,179 lot of people who are experiencers who 1987 01:15:36,229 --> 01:15:34,679 are sort of like struggling to make 1988 01:15:37,729 --> 01:15:36,239 sense of what they've experienced or 1989 01:15:39,410 --> 01:15:37,739 don't have like a good narrative for 1990 01:15:42,830 --> 01:15:39,420 like understanding it or framing it or 1991 01:15:46,910 --> 01:15:42,840 even processing it then see like 1992 01:15:49,370 --> 01:15:46,920 because they have included UFOs is like 1993 01:15:51,830 --> 01:15:49,380 a subject into their experience that's 1994 01:15:54,470 --> 01:15:51,840 deeply personal that any sort of 1995 01:15:58,790 --> 01:15:54,480 skepticism becomes 1996 01:16:00,770 --> 01:15:58,800 um a uh negotiation about the truth of 1997 01:16:02,870 --> 01:16:00,780 their experience right even though the 1998 01:16:04,209 --> 01:16:02,880 truth of their experience may exist in a 1999 01:16:08,209 --> 01:16:04,219 kind of 2000 01:16:10,130 --> 01:16:08,219 like rational third place beyond binary 2001 01:16:11,570 --> 01:16:10,140 modalities of true and false right like 2002 01:16:13,970 --> 01:16:11,580 it may sort of exist in this sort of 2003 01:16:15,590 --> 01:16:13,980 like psychosocial mythological whatever 2004 01:16:16,550 --> 01:16:15,600 space 2005 01:16:18,890 --> 01:16:16,560 um 2006 01:16:21,350 --> 01:16:18,900 and I'm so 2007 01:16:22,729 --> 01:16:21,360 I I guess this is why Kimber way Came 2008 01:16:24,229 --> 01:16:22,739 Out Swinging with like so what do you 2009 01:16:26,390 --> 01:16:24,239 think of like the psychosocial stuff 2010 01:16:30,189 --> 01:16:26,400 what do you think of the myth because it 2011 01:16:35,470 --> 01:16:34,189 like I I just I'm so fascinated by how 2012 01:16:39,110 --> 01:16:35,480 people 2013 01:16:41,450 --> 01:16:39,120 know or connect these experiences with 2014 01:16:44,530 --> 01:16:41,460 UFOs as a subject instead of just 2015 01:16:47,390 --> 01:16:44,540 thinking of it as like Transcendence or 2016 01:16:49,550 --> 01:16:47,400 psychosis or whatever else you know well 2017 01:16:50,510 --> 01:16:49,560 that's an interesting point and I think 2018 01:16:56,630 --> 01:16:50,520 that 2019 01:16:58,310 --> 01:16:56,640 people in the UFO Community are the 2020 01:17:01,130 --> 01:16:58,320 people who have these experiences and 2021 01:17:03,410 --> 01:17:01,140 process them in through that lens 2022 01:17:05,870 --> 01:17:03,420 um when I uh you know I listen regularly 2023 01:17:09,350 --> 01:17:05,880 to sort of like atheist uh call-in shows 2024 01:17:10,669 --> 01:17:09,360 where an atheist talks with a Believer 2025 01:17:12,410 --> 01:17:10,679 um I've been doing that for like over 10 2026 01:17:14,870 --> 01:17:12,420 years I just uh 2027 01:17:17,090 --> 01:17:14,880 I find that very interesting and and 2028 01:17:19,310 --> 01:17:17,100 people are calling in with very similar 2029 01:17:22,010 --> 01:17:19,320 experiences uh to what I've seen in the 2030 01:17:23,630 --> 01:17:22,020 UFO Community uh regularly about these 2031 01:17:25,790 --> 01:17:23,640 sort of like dissociative experiences 2032 01:17:27,950 --> 01:17:25,800 these moments of crisis when a figure 2033 01:17:29,990 --> 01:17:27,960 comes to them 2034 01:17:32,689 --> 01:17:30,000 um you know and we've all sort of uh 2035 01:17:34,729 --> 01:17:32,699 seen these things and then they process 2036 01:17:38,390 --> 01:17:34,739 those things through their um their 2037 01:17:41,990 --> 01:17:38,400 religious uh faith and so it's like it's 2038 01:17:45,290 --> 01:17:42,000 like the alien or the um the UFO is 2039 01:17:46,189 --> 01:17:45,300 almost like uh it really is the modern 2040 01:17:47,930 --> 01:17:46,199 um 2041 01:17:49,790 --> 01:17:47,940 it's like the modern religion isn't it 2042 01:17:52,130 --> 01:17:49,800 and that's the Rorschach test 2043 01:17:55,070 --> 01:17:52,140 yes yeah it's a standard to see what 2044 01:17:56,990 --> 01:17:55,080 your world view is really you know you 2045 01:17:59,870 --> 01:17:57,000 reminds me oh Louis you're out of your 2046 01:18:01,790 --> 01:17:59,880 k-hole you're back to reality man 2047 01:18:03,770 --> 01:18:01,800 um you know it reminds me of like the 2048 01:18:06,649 --> 01:18:03,780 miracle of Fatima right like when you 2049 01:18:08,990 --> 01:18:06,659 read like accounts of the appearance at 2050 01:18:11,209 --> 01:18:09,000 Fatima that appeared before what 50 000 2051 01:18:13,930 --> 01:18:11,219 people or something yeah this is this is 2052 01:18:16,970 --> 01:18:13,940 not literally the like 2053 01:18:19,550 --> 01:18:16,980 cornflower blue and white veiled Mary 2054 01:18:21,350 --> 01:18:19,560 this is like a [\h__\h] ball of light in 2055 01:18:23,030 --> 01:18:21,360 the sky that bounced around that a lot 2056 01:18:26,510 --> 01:18:23,040 of people saw well they couldn't do it 2057 01:18:28,070 --> 01:18:26,520 with the sun yeah Campbell uh you this 2058 01:18:29,870 --> 01:18:28,080 is actually a uh I think you're a good 2059 01:18:31,669 --> 01:18:29,880 person to ask this question you said you 2060 01:18:33,950 --> 01:18:31,679 had no like interest you had no dog in 2061 01:18:36,110 --> 01:18:33,960 the race for UFOs growing up until about 2062 01:18:38,510 --> 01:18:36,120 2017 or 2018. 2063 01:18:42,290 --> 01:18:38,520 but before that time if someone asked 2064 01:18:44,570 --> 01:18:42,300 you what a UFO is or to draw a UFO what 2065 01:18:48,709 --> 01:18:44,580 would you have said I would have drawn 2066 01:18:51,470 --> 01:18:48,719 uh the spaceship on The Simpsons right a 2067 01:18:53,930 --> 01:18:51,480 a flying saucer yeah right so I mean 2068 01:18:55,729 --> 01:18:53,940 like without being interested or being a 2069 01:18:58,490 --> 01:18:55,739 part of the community like kind of 2070 01:18:59,990 --> 01:18:58,500 culturally you knew that like weird 2071 01:19:03,649 --> 01:19:00,000 things in the sky especially at night 2072 01:19:05,689 --> 01:19:03,659 glowing Are UFOs and culturally UFOs are 2073 01:19:08,510 --> 01:19:05,699 aliens right so it's all yeah it's 2074 01:19:10,430 --> 01:19:08,520 already there in us right yeah so I mean 2075 01:19:12,110 --> 01:19:10,440 when people do have these kind of 2076 01:19:14,390 --> 01:19:12,120 experiences they're they're drawing on 2077 01:19:16,550 --> 01:19:14,400 what they know and uh 2078 01:19:18,169 --> 01:19:16,560 anything coming down from the sky at 2079 01:19:19,010 --> 01:19:18,179 night any luminous objects in this guy 2080 01:19:22,370 --> 01:19:19,020 or 2081 01:19:24,830 --> 01:19:22,380 going to be like oh that was a UFO I saw 2082 01:19:26,330 --> 01:19:24,840 this which like yeah I mean a lot of 2083 01:19:29,450 --> 01:19:26,340 these experiences like I believe that 2084 01:19:30,530 --> 01:19:29,460 you did see that I think you saw that 2085 01:19:31,850 --> 01:19:30,540 but 2086 01:19:33,709 --> 01:19:31,860 that's just telling me your 2087 01:19:36,590 --> 01:19:33,719 interpretation of it Whatever Happened 2088 01:19:39,110 --> 01:19:36,600 is is it could be a different story I'll 2089 01:19:40,669 --> 01:19:39,120 say it could be but that's that's the 2090 01:19:43,970 --> 01:19:40,679 lens and that's kind of the lens you 2091 01:19:46,669 --> 01:19:43,980 were given by at least our culture or 2092 01:19:48,050 --> 01:19:46,679 Irish Society now well you know yes 2093 01:19:52,070 --> 01:19:48,060 absolutely I think you're right and 2094 01:19:55,669 --> 01:19:52,080 before May and June 2021 if somebody 2095 01:19:58,070 --> 01:19:55,679 told me they had seen a UFO though I 2096 01:20:00,410 --> 01:19:58,080 probably would have said I don't I don't 2097 01:20:02,149 --> 01:20:00,420 believe you right like sure unless the 2098 01:20:03,410 --> 01:20:02,159 you know I you know whatever or I think 2099 01:20:05,510 --> 01:20:03,420 they saw a plane or something but if 2100 01:20:07,490 --> 01:20:05,520 they describe like no it's multi-colored 2101 01:20:09,890 --> 01:20:07,500 and there were lights all spinning and 2102 01:20:11,870 --> 01:20:09,900 then it like uh came down close to the 2103 01:20:14,810 --> 01:20:11,880 ground and shot a light down and then it 2104 01:20:17,090 --> 01:20:14,820 blasted up instantaneously into space I 2105 01:20:19,370 --> 01:20:17,100 would be like okay well it's far more 2106 01:20:21,890 --> 01:20:19,380 likely that you hallucinated that and it 2107 01:20:24,050 --> 01:20:21,900 still is even if objects that are 2108 01:20:25,669 --> 01:20:24,060 capable of doing those things exist each 2109 01:20:27,110 --> 01:20:25,679 individ that's what makes it so 2110 01:20:28,430 --> 01:20:27,120 interesting and that is what we've 2111 01:20:29,330 --> 01:20:28,440 talked about before a little bit is 2112 01:20:35,930 --> 01:20:29,340 these 2113 01:20:38,689 --> 01:20:35,940 random very rare and if you don't have 2114 01:20:39,950 --> 01:20:38,699 sufficient equipment to capture it in a 2115 01:20:41,810 --> 01:20:39,960 way that you can show others in a 2116 01:20:43,610 --> 01:20:41,820 convincing way 2117 01:20:45,110 --> 01:20:43,620 any time you observe something like that 2118 01:20:47,390 --> 01:20:45,120 it is far more likely that you did not 2119 01:20:48,830 --> 01:20:47,400 observe it then you did observe it and 2120 01:20:50,930 --> 01:20:48,840 therefore we end up in these 2121 01:20:53,270 --> 01:20:50,940 circumstances where like with ball 2122 01:20:56,990 --> 01:20:53,280 lightning until it's proven with a very 2123 01:20:58,729 --> 01:20:57,000 high quality sensor system in 2014 2124 01:21:00,470 --> 01:20:58,739 you know we have maybe thousands or tens 2125 01:21:01,790 --> 01:21:00,480 of thousands of people who observe these 2126 01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:01,800 things and then 2127 01:21:05,270 --> 01:21:02,400 um 2128 01:21:07,490 --> 01:21:05,280 based on trying to like get an idea of 2129 01:21:09,950 --> 01:21:07,500 what they saw 2130 01:21:13,189 --> 01:21:09,960 if you go to the skeptic Community you 2131 01:21:15,649 --> 01:21:13,199 might be shut down yeah and that's fair 2132 01:21:18,229 --> 01:21:15,659 based on the scientific method the 2133 01:21:19,790 --> 01:21:18,239 absolute highest standards possible if 2134 01:21:21,470 --> 01:21:19,800 you don't have the spectrographic 2135 01:21:23,450 --> 01:21:21,480 analysis published in peer review all 2136 01:21:24,590 --> 01:21:23,460 that stuff like you can't say I saw a 2137 01:21:26,510 --> 01:21:24,600 ball while I did this and that and this 2138 01:21:27,770 --> 01:21:26,520 and have people believe you and so then 2139 01:21:30,470 --> 01:21:27,780 they turn 2140 01:21:32,030 --> 01:21:30,480 and they go into well since I did see 2141 01:21:34,910 --> 01:21:32,040 this who's going to validate my 2142 01:21:37,490 --> 01:21:34,920 experience and the only narrative that 2143 01:21:39,110 --> 01:21:37,500 is possible right now in a major sense 2144 01:21:41,090 --> 01:21:39,120 is the 2145 01:21:42,229 --> 01:21:41,100 um non-human intelligence narrative or 2146 01:21:44,630 --> 01:21:42,239 you know if you want to say time 2147 01:21:46,910 --> 01:21:44,640 traveling humans I guess that sure I 2148 01:21:48,830 --> 01:21:46,920 think Midwest put it in an interesting 2149 01:21:51,350 --> 01:21:48,840 way it was like unconventional human 2150 01:21:54,410 --> 01:21:51,360 intelligence or something yeah 2151 01:21:56,030 --> 01:21:54,420 yeah it's just getting so specific it's 2152 01:21:58,070 --> 01:21:56,040 losing all meaning to me at that point 2153 01:21:59,630 --> 01:21:58,080 sure yeah you have to appease everybody 2154 01:22:01,430 --> 01:21:59,640 though or otherwise he's 2155 01:22:04,430 --> 01:22:01,440 yeah 2156 01:22:07,370 --> 01:22:04,440 you know the um condyn report 2157 01:22:09,830 --> 01:22:07,380 the author yes 2158 01:22:11,330 --> 01:22:09,840 um he apparently was not allowed to um 2159 01:22:14,270 --> 01:22:11,340 talk to 2160 01:22:16,669 --> 01:22:14,280 the people who'd made the reports yes 2161 01:22:18,910 --> 01:22:16,679 um which I guess is one of the 2162 01:22:21,110 --> 01:22:18,920 disadvantages of uh through the secret 2163 01:22:24,890 --> 01:22:21,120 research right 2164 01:22:27,950 --> 01:22:24,900 um but um I think he also was not 2165 01:22:31,070 --> 01:22:27,960 allowed to talk to any scientists even 2166 01:22:33,590 --> 01:22:31,080 um yeah I was too uh secret yeah yeah 2167 01:22:35,330 --> 01:22:33,600 and that's one of the the critiques that 2168 01:22:37,430 --> 01:22:35,340 uh David Clark has made 2169 01:22:39,709 --> 01:22:37,440 um but do you think in a way that's 2170 01:22:41,330 --> 01:22:39,719 actually a blessing in disguise because 2171 01:22:43,370 --> 01:22:41,340 um as you were mentioning Nick earlier 2172 01:22:44,930 --> 01:22:43,380 about like Michigan and the Hudson 2173 01:22:47,470 --> 01:22:44,940 Valley report 2174 01:22:50,570 --> 01:22:47,480 um people later come out with his like 2175 01:22:52,669 --> 01:22:50,580 completely different or you know very 2176 01:22:55,310 --> 01:22:52,679 the tail gets taller in the telling 2177 01:22:57,950 --> 01:22:55,320 right so those are original reports are 2178 01:23:00,470 --> 01:22:57,960 sort of locked in time so the um the 2179 01:23:03,110 --> 01:23:00,480 witnesses can't you know [\h__\h] it up 2180 01:23:08,149 --> 01:23:05,390 right 2181 01:23:10,610 --> 01:23:08,159 I am when we talked to about having 2182 01:23:12,110 --> 01:23:10,620 these kind of modern Frameworks for 2183 01:23:14,870 --> 01:23:12,120 interpreting events right like talking 2184 01:23:16,550 --> 01:23:14,880 about the role that like culture and 2185 01:23:18,770 --> 01:23:16,560 media and religion has on these 2186 01:23:21,050 --> 01:23:18,780 experiences and just at a higher level 2187 01:23:23,750 --> 01:23:21,060 it reminds me or it makes me think of 2188 01:23:27,290 --> 01:23:23,760 just how malleable reality is in our 2189 01:23:28,910 --> 01:23:27,300 perceptions right and how you know we 2190 01:23:30,830 --> 01:23:28,920 like to think that we have this 2191 01:23:33,350 --> 01:23:30,840 objective sense of what's going on 2192 01:23:35,930 --> 01:23:33,360 around us at any given time both at a 2193 01:23:38,090 --> 01:23:35,940 small and a large scale but the reality 2194 01:23:39,770 --> 01:23:38,100 is that we're really just I mean again 2195 01:23:42,229 --> 01:23:39,780 going down the Buddhist hole we're just 2196 01:23:45,169 --> 01:23:42,239 this sort of like empty Network built up 2197 01:23:47,689 --> 01:23:45,179 of nodes of different references and um 2198 01:23:48,830 --> 01:23:47,699 cultural and media touch points that we 2199 01:23:50,750 --> 01:23:48,840 use 2200 01:23:52,729 --> 01:23:50,760 um to sort of frame and interpret what 2201 01:23:54,709 --> 01:23:52,739 happens to us like our realities are so 2202 01:23:57,470 --> 01:23:54,719 [\h__\h] constructed 2203 01:23:58,490 --> 01:23:57,480 um wasn't you know rather than being 2204 01:24:00,590 --> 01:23:58,500 innate 2205 01:24:02,870 --> 01:24:00,600 oh sorry uh wasn't the impetus of 2206 01:24:05,209 --> 01:24:02,880 philosophical skepticism kind of uh 2207 01:24:06,890 --> 01:24:05,219 based on the flaws of inductive 2208 01:24:07,930 --> 01:24:06,900 reasoning it's like 2209 01:24:10,010 --> 01:24:07,940 um 2210 01:24:13,490 --> 01:24:10,020 isn't it 2211 01:24:16,070 --> 01:24:13,500 this is your area of expertise this is 2212 01:24:19,070 --> 01:24:16,080 right interpretation of it is the just 2213 01:24:21,649 --> 01:24:19,080 kind of like the understanding that 2214 01:24:23,990 --> 01:24:21,659 um subjective now like the distinction 2215 01:24:25,910 --> 01:24:24,000 between a subjective reality based on 2216 01:24:27,770 --> 01:24:25,920 how we experience it and how we draw 2217 01:24:31,610 --> 01:24:27,780 conclusions based on of the collection 2218 01:24:34,610 --> 01:24:31,620 of our experiences can't be 2219 01:24:36,110 --> 01:24:34,620 um necessarily trusted as objective 2220 01:24:38,870 --> 01:24:36,120 reality and that was kind of like the 2221 01:24:41,149 --> 01:24:38,880 beginning of skepticism where like there 2222 01:24:42,709 --> 01:24:41,159 are deductive truths like math and 2223 01:24:45,169 --> 01:24:42,719 things like that and then there's uh 2224 01:24:46,490 --> 01:24:45,179 inductive based on our experiences I 2225 01:24:49,250 --> 01:24:46,500 think I made a joke about this a long 2226 01:24:51,649 --> 01:24:49,260 time ago in a space using solely 2227 01:24:53,870 --> 01:24:51,659 inductive logic will tell you that the 2228 01:24:56,149 --> 01:24:53,880 world is flat we need like that outside 2229 01:24:58,250 --> 01:24:56,159 information to kind of confirm because 2230 01:24:59,990 --> 01:24:58,260 walking down the street yeah it looks 2231 01:25:02,810 --> 01:25:00,000 flat I can't personally see the 2232 01:25:04,729 --> 01:25:02,820 curvature of the Earth so inductively I 2233 01:25:07,250 --> 01:25:04,739 would kind of presume that the world is 2234 01:25:09,290 --> 01:25:07,260 flat I I think that that's kind of the 2235 01:25:10,790 --> 01:25:09,300 story of where skepticism comes from it 2236 01:25:11,990 --> 01:25:10,800 could be completely wrong about that and 2237 01:25:13,370 --> 01:25:12,000 there to kind of explain why I know 2238 01:25:16,010 --> 01:25:13,380 every no one knows what I'm talking 2239 01:25:18,169 --> 01:25:16,020 about but uh I think no there was 2240 01:25:22,070 --> 01:25:18,179 something along those lines yeah like in 2241 01:25:23,570 --> 01:25:22,080 the mid 1700s uh when the natural world 2242 01:25:26,530 --> 01:25:23,580 was first getting 2243 01:25:28,910 --> 01:25:26,540 more thoroughly investigated through 2244 01:25:31,370 --> 01:25:28,920 understandings of well interestingly 2245 01:25:33,890 --> 01:25:31,380 electromagnetism that's when people 2246 01:25:37,310 --> 01:25:33,900 started coming together and uh with the 2247 01:25:41,930 --> 01:25:37,320 Royal Society they established the uh 2248 01:25:44,270 --> 01:25:41,940 invisible College in 17 uh 1760 roughly 2249 01:25:46,510 --> 01:25:44,280 if we take our invisible sat as we might 2250 01:25:49,970 --> 01:25:46,520 one day get in 2251 01:25:51,890 --> 01:25:49,980 well I'm not sure those will be tough 2252 01:25:55,250 --> 01:25:51,900 because the Royal Society is uh I think 2253 01:25:57,830 --> 01:25:55,260 the longest standing uh natural uh 2254 01:26:00,169 --> 01:25:57,840 philosophy Association in the world but 2255 01:26:02,570 --> 01:26:00,179 um yeah no that's uh it's interesting 2256 01:26:04,729 --> 01:26:02,580 like originally like the uh experiments 2257 01:26:06,590 --> 01:26:04,739 around lightning when 2258 01:26:08,209 --> 01:26:06,600 um you know it was demonstrated that the 2259 01:26:11,810 --> 01:26:08,219 little spark you could produce from 2260 01:26:13,850 --> 01:26:11,820 static electricity appears to behave the 2261 01:26:15,649 --> 01:26:13,860 same as Lightning like that's like okay 2262 01:26:18,229 --> 01:26:15,659 and then you can replicate that 2263 01:26:20,689 --> 01:26:18,239 experiment in charge of a crappy battery 2264 01:26:22,070 --> 01:26:20,699 that you built the same way regardless 2265 01:26:24,709 --> 01:26:22,080 of whether you're in North America or in 2266 01:26:26,810 --> 01:26:24,719 your France if you're in France that's 2267 01:26:29,450 --> 01:26:26,820 that's the foundation of it you have to 2268 01:26:30,950 --> 01:26:29,460 be able to explain how somebody else can 2269 01:26:34,310 --> 01:26:30,960 replicate what you're claiming to be 2270 01:26:36,530 --> 01:26:34,320 true without that exactly like uh it 2271 01:26:38,689 --> 01:26:36,540 falls apart and then you get subjected 2272 01:26:40,610 --> 01:26:38,699 to uh these sort of arguments like uh 2273 01:26:42,890 --> 01:26:40,620 more people that see it the more true it 2274 01:26:44,030 --> 01:26:42,900 is right we know that's not good is 2275 01:26:49,010 --> 01:26:44,040 there any 2276 01:26:50,209 --> 01:26:49,020 um historical footage of UFOs uh that 2277 01:26:52,610 --> 01:26:50,219 kind of 2278 01:26:53,990 --> 01:26:52,620 I'm not talking about the um the Nimitz 2279 01:26:56,930 --> 01:26:54,000 or the uh 2280 01:26:58,610 --> 01:26:56,940 the other ones the Gimbal and the um go 2281 01:27:01,729 --> 01:26:58,620 fast although maybe those are 2282 01:27:03,830 --> 01:27:01,739 explainable by plasma type phenomena but 2283 01:27:04,669 --> 01:27:03,840 do you know of any other 2284 01:27:07,250 --> 01:27:04,679 um 2285 01:27:08,990 --> 01:27:07,260 famous footage that sort of 2286 01:27:12,229 --> 01:27:09,000 you know that you find personally 2287 01:27:15,709 --> 01:27:12,239 intriguing and could be explained by 2288 01:27:19,550 --> 01:27:15,719 by plasma bull lightning yeah it's hard 2289 01:27:21,649 --> 01:27:19,560 to say uh valet has a uh paper I believe 2290 01:27:23,930 --> 01:27:21,659 published in the Journal of scientific 2291 01:27:25,850 --> 01:27:23,940 exploration as well uh if I remember 2292 01:27:27,830 --> 01:27:25,860 right is from like the mid 90s it's 2293 01:27:30,770 --> 01:27:27,840 called like observations of the 2294 01:27:32,689 --> 01:27:30,780 Luminosity of five UFOs or something 2295 01:27:35,930 --> 01:27:32,699 like that and he goes through like five 2296 01:27:38,390 --> 01:27:35,940 highly luminous uh UFO cases 2297 01:27:40,010 --> 01:27:38,400 um and he uh tries to assess the power 2298 01:27:42,709 --> 01:27:40,020 that would be required to create the 2299 01:27:44,390 --> 01:27:42,719 light source and in that I believe there 2300 01:27:45,709 --> 01:27:44,400 are a couple that they claim to have 2301 01:27:48,050 --> 01:27:45,719 videos I haven't watched those videos 2302 01:27:49,490 --> 01:27:48,060 but the objects he describes have all 2303 01:27:51,290 --> 01:27:49,500 the exact same features as what we've 2304 01:27:53,810 --> 01:27:51,300 been talking about so it would be a 2305 01:27:57,290 --> 01:27:53,820 close match there 2306 01:27:59,689 --> 01:27:57,300 um that said I'm very uh resistant to 2307 01:28:02,209 --> 01:27:59,699 getting into individual cases at this 2308 01:28:04,430 --> 01:28:02,219 point because when I started uh to talk 2309 01:28:06,950 --> 01:28:04,440 about this stuff in 2021 I reached out 2310 01:28:09,410 --> 01:28:06,960 to a bunch of people I ended up uh you 2311 01:28:12,950 --> 01:28:09,420 know on the singularity lab with Michael 2312 01:28:15,110 --> 01:28:12,960 mataluni then I went on UCR and then I 2313 01:28:18,229 --> 01:28:15,120 uh they had me on the big phone home to 2314 01:28:20,270 --> 01:28:18,239 do Michael gave me an hour like you know 2315 01:28:22,970 --> 01:28:20,280 talk with me to plan an hour out to do 2316 01:28:25,970 --> 01:28:22,980 the sort of plasma stuff and then uh 2317 01:28:27,590 --> 01:28:25,980 Daniel Miller and stuff so it's like 2318 01:28:28,970 --> 01:28:27,600 um 2319 01:28:30,590 --> 01:28:28,980 you know there's 2320 01:28:32,810 --> 01:28:30,600 there's been this long history with me 2321 01:28:35,810 --> 01:28:32,820 of trying to engage on the case study 2322 01:28:37,490 --> 01:28:35,820 side of it and I used the Nimitz uh as 2323 01:28:39,590 --> 01:28:37,500 an example when I first got us got 2324 01:28:41,870 --> 01:28:39,600 started and there was so much pushback 2325 01:28:43,550 --> 01:28:41,880 about every single individual element of 2326 01:28:46,370 --> 01:28:43,560 it that I realized very quickly that it 2327 01:28:49,189 --> 01:28:46,380 was like counter productive to try to 2328 01:28:50,390 --> 01:28:49,199 start like showing how certain cases 2329 01:28:53,450 --> 01:28:50,400 might be able to fit into the 2330 01:28:55,910 --> 01:28:53,460 information I realized that this sort of 2331 01:28:57,649 --> 01:28:55,920 deeper level uh the approaching it from 2332 01:29:00,050 --> 01:28:57,659 the philosophical perspective after 2333 01:29:03,050 --> 01:29:00,060 doing some reason I I started doing 2334 01:29:04,070 --> 01:29:03,060 research I was like why when and we 2335 01:29:05,870 --> 01:29:04,080 haven't even gotten into all the other 2336 01:29:09,770 --> 01:29:05,880 stuff but why when there is so much 2337 01:29:12,410 --> 01:29:09,780 information that is so clear on the 2338 01:29:14,209 --> 01:29:12,420 subject can I not get people to actually 2339 01:29:15,649 --> 01:29:14,219 just not listen to me because it has 2340 01:29:17,030 --> 01:29:15,659 nothing to do with me but read the 2341 01:29:19,669 --> 01:29:17,040 information if they say they're so 2342 01:29:21,229 --> 01:29:19,679 interested in this subject and I 2343 01:29:22,430 --> 01:29:21,239 couldn't wrap my head around it I just 2344 01:29:25,189 --> 01:29:22,440 started reading about it and then I 2345 01:29:27,770 --> 01:29:25,199 realized through the published papers on 2346 01:29:30,290 --> 01:29:27,780 the subject of like people processing 2347 01:29:34,010 --> 01:29:30,300 information that it was based around 2348 01:29:37,010 --> 01:29:34,020 like more about identity than about the 2349 01:29:38,750 --> 01:29:37,020 actual information content and so I 2350 01:29:41,510 --> 01:29:38,760 decided to stop trying to do the sort of 2351 01:29:43,430 --> 01:29:41,520 like step-by-step evidence of why a case 2352 01:29:45,290 --> 01:29:43,440 could fit to the information instead I 2353 01:29:48,169 --> 01:29:45,300 just sort of lay it like my website is 2354 01:29:50,209 --> 01:29:48,179 based on laying out the information with 2355 01:29:51,950 --> 01:29:50,219 every single sentence cited to the 2356 01:29:53,689 --> 01:29:51,960 source that I got it from like nothing 2357 01:29:57,590 --> 01:29:53,699 on there is from me because I'm nobody 2358 01:30:00,350 --> 01:29:57,600 it's all about the information and 2359 01:30:02,629 --> 01:30:00,360 um maybe like you brought up condyn and 2360 01:30:05,209 --> 01:30:02,639 that's a really neat part of this uh 2361 01:30:08,390 --> 01:30:05,219 just that after I first found those 2362 01:30:10,550 --> 01:30:08,400 physics papers my natural expectation 2363 01:30:13,270 --> 01:30:10,560 instantly I was like 2364 01:30:15,410 --> 01:30:13,280 Obama would know this 2365 01:30:17,390 --> 01:30:15,420 the American the American government 2366 01:30:18,709 --> 01:30:17,400 would know that these things exist so 2367 01:30:20,810 --> 01:30:18,719 what the heck does this mean what's 2368 01:30:23,330 --> 01:30:20,820 going on with that and that's when I 2369 01:30:25,129 --> 01:30:23,340 turned to the National Archives I mean 2370 01:30:26,570 --> 01:30:25,139 but there's like whole other layers of 2371 01:30:29,390 --> 01:30:26,580 conspiracies here that the president 2372 01:30:31,550 --> 01:30:29,400 doesn't actually know very much that 2373 01:30:33,410 --> 01:30:31,560 makes it yeah yeah well that gets into 2374 01:30:35,750 --> 01:30:33,420 the interesting speculative territory 2375 01:30:37,370 --> 01:30:35,760 that I I'm happy to get into but uh it 2376 01:30:39,950 --> 01:30:37,380 does distract always from the real 2377 01:30:41,629 --> 01:30:39,960 information uh but it is that is what 2378 01:30:45,169 --> 01:30:41,639 triggered my original interest it's like 2379 01:30:47,810 --> 01:30:45,179 why would Obama be saying this and then 2380 01:30:50,149 --> 01:30:47,820 it's like the Americans should have the 2381 01:30:52,370 --> 01:30:50,159 ability to positively identify basically 2382 01:30:54,649 --> 01:30:52,380 anything if they want to that's sort of 2383 01:30:57,590 --> 01:30:54,659 what I pick up from their technological 2384 01:30:58,850 --> 01:30:57,600 situation at this point why is he 2385 01:31:00,470 --> 01:30:58,860 encouraging people to even look at it 2386 01:31:02,030 --> 01:31:00,480 and then it's like well there are all 2387 01:31:04,070 --> 01:31:02,040 these physics papers showing that there 2388 01:31:05,810 --> 01:31:04,080 seem to be objects with these features 2389 01:31:08,390 --> 01:31:05,820 in the atmosphere and they seem to be 2390 01:31:09,550 --> 01:31:08,400 natural why would Obama then encourage 2391 01:31:12,950 --> 01:31:09,560 it that way 2392 01:31:14,290 --> 01:31:12,960 my uh interpretation after all of the 2393 01:31:16,070 --> 01:31:14,300 information including the American 2394 01:31:18,229 --> 01:31:16,080 Declassified records that we haven't 2395 01:31:19,430 --> 01:31:18,239 even touched on where they're saying 2396 01:31:21,590 --> 01:31:19,440 over and over that the objects with 2397 01:31:23,090 --> 01:31:21,600 these exact features are probably ball 2398 01:31:25,669 --> 01:31:23,100 lightning 2399 01:31:27,709 --> 01:31:25,679 my assumption was that Obama 2400 01:31:29,570 --> 01:31:27,719 recognized that information was being 2401 01:31:31,070 --> 01:31:29,580 leaked and I thought he was maybe trying 2402 01:31:32,689 --> 01:31:31,080 to get ahead of the story 2403 01:31:34,070 --> 01:31:32,699 by claiming ignorance that was my 2404 01:31:35,030 --> 01:31:34,080 interpretation of that after reading all 2405 01:31:37,490 --> 01:31:35,040 this stuff I don't know if that's true 2406 01:31:40,310 --> 01:31:37,500 or not that's just my personal shape the 2407 01:31:42,169 --> 01:31:40,320 narrative right like but I can't imagine 2408 01:31:43,610 --> 01:31:42,179 him wanting people though to look at it 2409 01:31:45,410 --> 01:31:43,620 because based on the Declassified 2410 01:31:48,229 --> 01:31:45,420 documents the last thing in the world 2411 01:31:49,430 --> 01:31:48,239 that the intelligence services in the 2412 01:31:50,990 --> 01:31:49,440 United States and the United Kingdom 2413 01:31:53,209 --> 01:31:51,000 want are for people to actively think 2414 01:31:56,390 --> 01:31:53,219 about UFOs and that's why his comment 2415 01:31:58,910 --> 01:31:56,400 was so confusing to me yeah people love 2416 01:32:00,430 --> 01:31:58,920 to think about and talk about UFOs I 2417 01:32:03,530 --> 01:32:00,440 know but but 2418 01:32:05,930 --> 01:32:03,540 you always want to talk about it yes 2419 01:32:07,430 --> 01:32:05,940 I think that's a danger I think he was 2420 01:32:09,590 --> 01:32:07,440 probably not aware of a lot of the stuff 2421 01:32:11,330 --> 01:32:09,600 but had read the New York Times paper 2422 01:32:13,010 --> 01:32:11,340 and was just kind of playing off it I 2423 01:32:14,689 --> 01:32:13,020 know um a lot of presidential 2424 01:32:16,370 --> 01:32:14,699 appearances on late night shows the 2425 01:32:18,169 --> 01:32:16,380 topic of UFOs does come up it happened 2426 01:32:20,870 --> 01:32:18,179 with Clinton I know I think it happened 2427 01:32:23,390 --> 01:32:20,880 with Trump even and they kind of give a 2428 01:32:24,830 --> 01:32:23,400 you know kind of a joking response and 2429 01:32:27,610 --> 01:32:24,840 uh and then they were far more 2430 01:32:30,770 --> 01:32:27,620 dismissive is the interesting part sure 2431 01:32:32,810 --> 01:32:30,780 did I say something I mean to one of 2432 01:32:34,430 --> 01:32:32,820 these small mercies of trump may be that 2433 01:32:37,370 --> 01:32:34,440 if he'd actually known something he'd 2434 01:32:40,370 --> 01:32:37,380 would have [\h__\h] spewed it out on TV 2435 01:32:41,930 --> 01:32:40,380 or Twitter like well that's something 2436 01:32:44,510 --> 01:32:41,940 positive of the Shadow government 2437 01:32:47,390 --> 01:32:44,520 conspiracy really and that's actually 2438 01:32:50,090 --> 01:32:47,400 when I was uh speaking with Louise on uh 2439 01:32:51,350 --> 01:32:50,100 on your uh show we talked about this a 2440 01:32:54,649 --> 01:32:51,360 little bit you asked me something to 2441 01:32:56,810 --> 01:32:54,659 this effect and um my and once again 2442 01:32:58,310 --> 01:32:56,820 it's just my interpretation based on the 2443 01:33:01,010 --> 01:32:58,320 documents I've read and stuff but my 2444 01:33:03,169 --> 01:33:01,020 interpretation is that 2445 01:33:05,390 --> 01:33:03,179 the intelligence community in the United 2446 01:33:07,490 --> 01:33:05,400 States appears to maybe have actually 2447 01:33:09,830 --> 01:33:07,500 identified Trump as some degree of 2448 01:33:12,110 --> 01:33:09,840 national security threat and Obama said 2449 01:33:14,090 --> 01:33:12,120 he was briefed on UFOs right he has said 2450 01:33:16,370 --> 01:33:14,100 that now Trump has also claimed he's 2451 01:33:19,310 --> 01:33:16,380 been briefed I suspect because his own 2452 01:33:21,770 --> 01:33:19,320 National Security adviser or his um his 2453 01:33:25,010 --> 01:33:21,780 Director of National Security uh 2454 01:33:27,229 --> 01:33:25,020 Ratcliffe was out on the national news 2455 01:33:28,850 --> 01:33:27,239 saying oh they're all we see these 2456 01:33:30,290 --> 01:33:28,860 things on The Radars or on the 2457 01:33:31,970 --> 01:33:30,300 satellites and they're zipping all over 2458 01:33:34,070 --> 01:33:31,980 we don't know what they're it's like the 2459 01:33:36,169 --> 01:33:34,080 Director of National Intelligence 2460 01:33:37,970 --> 01:33:36,179 was a former Republican Congressman 2461 01:33:40,310 --> 01:33:37,980 right Radcliffe like he doesn't know 2462 01:33:42,530 --> 01:33:40,320 what they are somebody's not briefing 2463 01:33:44,030 --> 01:33:42,540 him he's not briefing Trump you know 2464 01:33:46,189 --> 01:33:44,040 there's something very strange going on 2465 01:33:47,629 --> 01:33:46,199 there so my interpretation of that not 2466 01:33:49,070 --> 01:33:47,639 necessarily correct but my 2467 01:33:50,450 --> 01:33:49,080 interpretation is that they were left 2468 01:33:56,030 --> 01:33:50,460 out of it 2469 01:33:59,930 --> 01:33:57,310 um but yeah 2470 01:34:01,070 --> 01:33:59,940 yeah and we didn't even get into any of 2471 01:34:02,390 --> 01:34:01,080 the government documents because once I 2472 01:34:03,950 --> 01:34:02,400 read all those physics papers I was like 2473 01:34:07,189 --> 01:34:03,960 the government must know about this and 2474 01:34:08,689 --> 01:34:07,199 that's when I turned to the well 2475 01:34:11,270 --> 01:34:08,699 um 2476 01:34:13,250 --> 01:34:11,280 you know well researched uh in the 2477 01:34:15,470 --> 01:34:13,260 National Archives all these documents 2478 01:34:18,709 --> 01:34:15,480 going back and you know 2479 01:34:21,530 --> 01:34:18,719 um like the Robertson panel right 2480 01:34:24,050 --> 01:34:21,540 yeah well before that like uh the FBI in 2481 01:34:26,570 --> 01:34:24,060 1949 that's a Declassified file that was 2482 01:34:29,450 --> 01:34:26,580 Secret at the time uh protection of 2483 01:34:32,030 --> 01:34:29,460 vital installations memo they say there 2484 01:34:33,590 --> 01:34:32,040 are descriptions of these lights they 2485 01:34:34,850 --> 01:34:33,600 have the variety of colors they have 2486 01:34:36,110 --> 01:34:34,860 these features that we said over and 2487 01:34:37,970 --> 01:34:36,120 over again and then they say we don't 2488 01:34:39,770 --> 01:34:37,980 know exactly what they are they might be 2489 01:34:40,970 --> 01:34:39,780 a new Soviet weapon so we got to keep 2490 01:34:44,270 --> 01:34:40,980 our eyes on it we don't know what's 2491 01:34:46,189 --> 01:34:44,280 going on yeah than the U.S Air Force was 2492 01:34:48,050 --> 01:34:46,199 created and then they were assigned 2493 01:34:51,229 --> 01:34:48,060 responsibility and then they created 2494 01:34:52,790 --> 01:34:51,239 project sign in I think 1950 and then 2495 01:34:55,129 --> 01:34:52,800 they switched that into project Grudge 2496 01:34:57,110 --> 01:34:55,139 in I think 1951 and then if I remember 2497 01:35:00,470 --> 01:34:57,120 correctly then they introduced project 2498 01:35:03,290 --> 01:35:00,480 twinkle as a um 2499 01:35:05,390 --> 01:35:03,300 as a field study under project Grudge 2500 01:35:06,950 --> 01:35:05,400 and they actually had military personnel 2501 01:35:08,870 --> 01:35:06,960 for nine months Stakeout one of the 2502 01:35:10,910 --> 01:35:08,880 locations of military base that had a 2503 01:35:13,250 --> 01:35:10,920 bunch of observations and then that 2504 01:35:14,810 --> 01:35:13,260 report came back and they said you know 2505 01:35:17,450 --> 01:35:14,820 they described the exact same features 2506 01:35:20,689 --> 01:35:17,460 again and then they have uh descriptions 2507 01:35:22,610 --> 01:35:20,699 from um uh major scientists and stuff 2508 01:35:24,050 --> 01:35:22,620 and uh oh you know I think actually it 2509 01:35:26,030 --> 01:35:24,060 might have been that Los Alamos because 2510 01:35:28,790 --> 01:35:26,040 they cite the lead researcher the 2511 01:35:30,830 --> 01:35:28,800 nuclear researcher dockler Dr Kaplan and 2512 01:35:32,570 --> 01:35:30,840 they have him in there he's saying the 2513 01:35:33,770 --> 01:35:32,580 green Fireballs that keep being observed 2514 01:35:37,330 --> 01:35:33,780 we believe that these are natural 2515 01:35:39,950 --> 01:35:37,340 phenomena and like uh you know not 1951 2516 01:35:42,290 --> 01:35:39,960 and then uh you know then you move into 2517 01:35:45,229 --> 01:35:42,300 the CIA when they start looking at it 2518 01:35:48,350 --> 01:35:45,239 yep they start looking at it after the 2519 01:35:49,910 --> 01:35:48,360 July 1952 Washington DC events which was 2520 01:35:51,290 --> 01:35:49,920 a bunch of luminous objects were 2521 01:35:53,330 --> 01:35:51,300 observed over Washington they were on 2522 01:35:55,550 --> 01:35:53,340 radar the US government scrambled 2523 01:35:56,870 --> 01:35:55,560 fighters to go and engage the objects 2524 01:35:58,250 --> 01:35:56,880 radar operators were looking at them 2525 01:36:00,110 --> 01:35:58,260 through binoculars looking on their 2526 01:36:01,790 --> 01:36:00,120 screens all this crap 2527 01:36:03,890 --> 01:36:01,800 Pilots were calling in being like we're 2528 01:36:05,870 --> 01:36:03,900 in we're in a formation of balls of 2529 01:36:07,209 --> 01:36:05,880 light what do I do and like they were 2530 01:36:09,649 --> 01:36:07,219 not receiving 2531 01:36:11,149 --> 01:36:09,659 responses because the cap commanders 2532 01:36:14,330 --> 01:36:11,159 were like okay whatever they're insane 2533 01:36:16,610 --> 01:36:14,340 or something right so after that radio 2534 01:36:18,350 --> 01:36:16,620 radio wouldn't work if they're close to 2535 01:36:20,229 --> 01:36:18,360 something that has that much like charge 2536 01:36:22,790 --> 01:36:20,239 and stuff like well that's actually 2537 01:36:24,649 --> 01:36:22,800 cocktail well you're right that's an 2538 01:36:27,229 --> 01:36:24,659 actually an interesting thing from the 2539 01:36:30,229 --> 01:36:27,239 Blue Book uh Mino Air Force Base report 2540 01:36:31,850 --> 01:36:30,239 from 1968 that's much later but I'll 2541 01:36:34,250 --> 01:36:31,860 just summarize it very briefly they say 2542 01:36:35,689 --> 01:36:34,260 ball lightning can they talk about the 2543 01:36:37,070 --> 01:36:35,699 Luminous balls of light they're moving 2544 01:36:38,390 --> 01:36:37,080 around flying around coming down going 2545 01:36:40,790 --> 01:36:38,400 up all this stuff we always talk about 2546 01:36:43,010 --> 01:36:40,800 they say ball lightning can be painted 2547 01:36:45,530 --> 01:36:43,020 on radar ball lightning does interfere 2548 01:36:48,290 --> 01:36:45,540 with electronic equipment we're likely 2549 01:36:54,649 --> 01:36:51,649 just over and over what um what sort of 2550 01:36:57,830 --> 01:36:54,659 like physiological or 2551 01:36:59,689 --> 01:36:57,840 um like cycle like like I don't know 2552 01:37:01,550 --> 01:36:59,699 what the term would be basically what 2553 01:37:04,370 --> 01:37:01,560 does someone who witnesses or sees or is 2554 01:37:06,050 --> 01:37:04,380 in close proximity to a ball lightning 2555 01:37:09,410 --> 01:37:06,060 or a plasma like what do they actually 2556 01:37:11,750 --> 01:37:09,420 experience well it should like a 2557 01:37:13,850 --> 01:37:11,760 I don't just mean like getting struck by 2558 01:37:15,470 --> 01:37:13,860 lightning straight physicality but even 2559 01:37:17,330 --> 01:37:15,480 just like shifts in Consciousness how 2560 01:37:20,090 --> 01:37:17,340 people exposed to infrasound can 2561 01:37:21,770 --> 01:37:20,100 sometimes experience things yes and 2562 01:37:24,350 --> 01:37:21,780 that's something yeah we've touched on 2563 01:37:27,470 --> 01:37:24,360 uh substantially and this is very uh 2564 01:37:29,990 --> 01:37:27,480 it's hard to uh know for sure because 2565 01:37:32,629 --> 01:37:30,000 there are no uh 2566 01:37:35,270 --> 01:37:32,639 published papers on the subject of close 2567 01:37:37,850 --> 01:37:35,280 proximity to ball lightning now the most 2568 01:37:39,770 --> 01:37:37,860 interesting uh 2569 01:37:42,770 --> 01:37:39,780 most interesting document that I'm aware 2570 01:37:45,890 --> 01:37:42,780 of on that exact subject would be the uh 2571 01:37:49,550 --> 01:37:45,900 what's known as the condyn report uh it 2572 01:37:52,010 --> 01:37:49,560 is formally called the UAP in the UK air 2573 01:37:54,350 --> 01:37:52,020 defense region report it was uh 2574 01:37:57,530 --> 01:37:54,360 completed by the United Kingdom's 2575 01:37:59,689 --> 01:37:57,540 Ministry of Defense a very uh secret 2576 01:38:03,290 --> 01:37:59,699 subsection called defense intelligence 2577 01:38:04,790 --> 01:38:03,300 section 55. they commissioned their top 2578 01:38:06,350 --> 01:38:04,800 radar expert 2579 01:38:09,470 --> 01:38:06,360 um which is an interesting a little 2580 01:38:12,530 --> 01:38:09,480 detail in 1996 he spent 1996 to 2000 2581 01:38:15,410 --> 01:38:12,540 writing this report his objective was to 2582 01:38:18,649 --> 01:38:15,420 compile the last 20 to 30 years of 2583 01:38:22,490 --> 01:38:18,659 military intelligence study of 2584 01:38:24,830 --> 01:38:22,500 um UFOs and to compile information and 2585 01:38:27,229 --> 01:38:24,840 then to provide it to top executive 2586 01:38:30,169 --> 01:38:27,239 leadership in defense intelligence to 2587 01:38:32,030 --> 01:38:30,179 guide policy on the subject so the 2588 01:38:33,950 --> 01:38:32,040 purpose of the report was to be a 2589 01:38:35,689 --> 01:38:33,960 hundred percent accurate with the 2590 01:38:37,550 --> 01:38:35,699 information obviously humans are subject 2591 01:38:40,310 --> 01:38:37,560 to error the intent of the report was to 2592 01:38:41,390 --> 01:38:40,320 be top secret and to guide a policy on 2593 01:38:45,169 --> 01:38:41,400 UFOs 2594 01:38:47,149 --> 01:38:45,179 that report in 2000 was uh published 2595 01:38:48,830 --> 01:38:47,159 within the UK government it was 2596 01:38:50,450 --> 01:38:48,840 distributed to top leadership we know 2597 01:38:52,430 --> 01:38:50,460 that conclusively from reporting from 2598 01:38:54,470 --> 01:38:52,440 the guardian wired BBC News 2599 01:38:59,030 --> 01:38:54,480 that report says 2600 01:39:00,530 --> 01:38:59,040 that UF UAP exist is indisputable and 2601 01:39:02,030 --> 01:39:00,540 then they say we aren't like they're 2602 01:39:04,310 --> 01:39:02,040 saying we aren't talking about generic 2603 01:39:06,290 --> 01:39:04,320 uh yeah it's a seagull they say the 2604 01:39:07,610 --> 01:39:06,300 objects that are luminous that hover 2605 01:39:09,709 --> 01:39:07,620 land accelerate to exceptional 2606 01:39:11,689 --> 01:39:09,719 velocities and VI vanish they can have 2607 01:39:13,370 --> 01:39:11,699 more you're saying the thing I know I'm 2608 01:39:15,470 --> 01:39:13,380 saying it again I've just proven that I 2609 01:39:17,750 --> 01:39:15,480 can't and uh but that the art the 2610 01:39:19,729 --> 01:39:17,760 introductory paragraph says that they 2611 01:39:21,950 --> 01:39:19,739 exist is indisputable and then it 2612 01:39:23,629 --> 01:39:21,960 defines them with the exact features 2613 01:39:26,209 --> 01:39:23,639 that we're talking about so that's it's 2614 01:39:27,950 --> 01:39:26,219 not leaving any room for us to interpret 2615 01:39:30,110 --> 01:39:27,960 it like yeah of course UFOs are whatever 2616 01:39:31,490 --> 01:39:30,120 they're saying no they're UFOs they are 2617 01:39:37,330 --> 01:39:31,500 this exact type of thing and they 2618 01:39:42,770 --> 01:39:40,669 that's right that's right the UK 2619 01:39:46,030 --> 01:39:42,780 um the report that was commissioned and 2620 01:39:49,490 --> 01:39:46,040 distributed to top leadership in the UK 2621 01:39:51,890 --> 01:39:49,500 says UFOs with the most radical features 2622 01:39:53,750 --> 01:39:51,900 due to indisputably exist but it was 2623 01:39:55,729 --> 01:39:53,760 written by a single author and we can't 2624 01:39:58,610 --> 01:39:55,739 verify that that's factually accurate 2625 01:40:01,430 --> 01:39:58,620 but we can verify factually is that top 2626 01:40:03,709 --> 01:40:01,440 UK leadership the especially Military 2627 01:40:06,649 --> 01:40:03,719 Intelligence leadership has been briefed 2628 01:40:07,729 --> 01:40:06,659 for the last 22 years that UFOs with the 2629 01:40:09,770 --> 01:40:07,739 features that we're all talking about 2630 01:40:12,050 --> 01:40:09,780 every day do exist 2631 01:40:14,270 --> 01:40:12,060 and that's pretty interesting even if it 2632 01:40:16,490 --> 01:40:14,280 even if that was an incorrect report 2633 01:40:19,010 --> 01:40:16,500 and then the report says that they are 2634 01:40:20,689 --> 01:40:19,020 almost certainly ball lightning and the 2635 01:40:22,729 --> 01:40:20,699 whole point of this was to get to the 2636 01:40:24,890 --> 01:40:22,739 Consciousness and the physiological 2637 01:40:26,930 --> 01:40:24,900 effects so this report again 2638 01:40:29,810 --> 01:40:26,940 controversially and Nick and I have 2639 01:40:32,270 --> 01:40:29,820 talked about this it uh cites a variety 2640 01:40:35,990 --> 01:40:32,280 of uh studies that have not been 2641 01:40:39,470 --> 01:40:36,000 conclusively verified to say that 2642 01:40:44,570 --> 01:40:39,480 um the uh effects of being in close 2643 01:40:47,750 --> 01:40:44,580 proximity to these objects uh can cause 2644 01:40:51,110 --> 01:40:47,760 a hallucinatory experiences it can cause 2645 01:40:53,030 --> 01:40:51,120 scorching it can cause radiation Burns 2646 01:40:55,010 --> 01:40:53,040 that's what this report says that top 2647 01:40:57,290 --> 01:40:55,020 leadership in the UK was briefed on we 2648 01:40:59,750 --> 01:40:57,300 don't know that that is true right 2649 01:41:02,870 --> 01:40:59,760 because there have not been proven cases 2650 01:41:04,430 --> 01:41:02,880 in reality but we what we do know is the 2651 01:41:06,350 --> 01:41:04,440 top Military Intelligence leadership in 2652 01:41:07,550 --> 01:41:06,360 the UK has been told that this is true 2653 01:41:11,209 --> 01:41:07,560 right 2654 01:41:13,970 --> 01:41:11,219 some somebody just asked um Chase 2655 01:41:17,270 --> 01:41:13,980 um asked if that bull lining can cause 2656 01:41:19,550 --> 01:41:17,280 radiation Burns and um 2657 01:41:21,590 --> 01:41:19,560 um yeah so um 2658 01:41:25,270 --> 01:41:21,600 that just made me think of like some 2659 01:41:28,250 --> 01:41:25,280 cases like the um cash Landrum case yeah 2660 01:41:29,870 --> 01:41:28,260 from Brazil which you know maybe they 2661 01:41:31,790 --> 01:41:29,880 they did involve ball lightning but we 2662 01:41:34,490 --> 01:41:31,800 can't you know as you mentioned we can't 2663 01:41:37,850 --> 01:41:34,500 verify that yet yes 2664 01:41:39,770 --> 01:41:37,860 yeah and uh yeah absolutely like 2665 01:41:41,149 --> 01:41:39,780 you know and it goes back in through 2666 01:41:43,070 --> 01:41:41,159 history there are like you know you can 2667 01:41:44,870 --> 01:41:43,080 cite over and over these instances like 2668 01:41:47,450 --> 01:41:44,880 one that I've seen regularly is that 2669 01:41:49,430 --> 01:41:47,460 like if you actually look at um uh 2670 01:41:51,410 --> 01:41:49,440 Blinded By The Light in the desert uh 2671 01:41:54,229 --> 01:41:51,420 Saint Paul on the road to Damascus he 2672 01:41:58,370 --> 01:41:54,239 describes a light coming down flying 2673 01:42:00,709 --> 01:41:58,380 around approaching him he hears the 2674 01:42:02,510 --> 01:42:00,719 voice but he does not see and then it's 2675 01:42:04,490 --> 01:42:02,520 like then the other version of the story 2676 01:42:05,990 --> 01:42:04,500 says his servants saw the light but did 2677 01:42:09,109 --> 01:42:06,000 not hear the voice 2678 01:42:11,030 --> 01:42:09,119 and then he cannot eat he can't drink he 2679 01:42:14,390 --> 01:42:11,040 has TR a weakness for the next three 2680 01:42:17,330 --> 01:42:15,470 what is that sounds like radiation 2681 01:42:18,830 --> 01:42:17,340 poisoning exactly but we can't say that 2682 01:42:20,890 --> 01:42:18,840 that's true we can't say that ultimate 2683 01:42:23,930 --> 01:42:20,900 psychedelic yeah 2684 01:42:28,070 --> 01:42:23,940 so there are these instances of a light 2685 01:42:30,770 --> 01:42:28,080 comes at you you experience things and 2686 01:42:34,689 --> 01:42:30,780 then you wake up later it's interesting 2687 01:42:37,490 --> 01:42:34,699 to note that uh lightning strike victims 2688 01:42:40,669 --> 01:42:37,500 uh experience this kind of thing they if 2689 01:42:42,709 --> 01:42:40,679 they get struck they can become 2690 01:42:44,590 --> 01:42:42,719 um uh knocked out they can wake up with 2691 01:42:47,090 --> 01:42:44,600 amnesia 2692 01:42:49,010 --> 01:42:47,100 you know it's uh and those are in the um 2693 01:42:50,629 --> 01:42:49,020 the peer review papers on the subject as 2694 01:42:52,629 --> 01:42:50,639 well so so there's a lot of consistency 2695 01:42:56,149 --> 01:42:52,639 between what you would expect 2696 01:42:58,609 --> 01:42:56,159 potentially from a close encounter with 2697 01:43:01,550 --> 01:42:58,619 a high uh radiation you know ball 2698 01:43:03,890 --> 01:43:01,560 lightning uh object and then 2699 01:43:05,870 --> 01:43:03,900 these uh you know these subjective 2700 01:43:07,189 --> 01:43:05,880 experiences there's a lot of closeness 2701 01:43:10,189 --> 01:43:07,199 in what you would expect but we can't 2702 01:43:12,950 --> 01:43:10,199 verify that in any way sure 2703 01:43:16,970 --> 01:43:12,960 getting to the technical aspect of 2704 01:43:18,050 --> 01:43:16,980 measuring this phenomenon or phenomena 2705 01:43:20,390 --> 01:43:18,060 um 2706 01:43:23,930 --> 01:43:20,400 so what do you think is like the best 2707 01:43:26,090 --> 01:43:23,940 setup in terms of like equipment and um 2708 01:43:29,209 --> 01:43:26,100 location for trying to get like high 2709 01:43:32,330 --> 01:43:29,219 quality spectral data which is really 2710 01:43:35,990 --> 01:43:32,340 you know what's um decisive here and 2711 01:43:38,750 --> 01:43:36,000 what sort of costs are involved in that 2712 01:43:42,050 --> 01:43:38,760 it's a good question uh I would look 2713 01:43:45,290 --> 01:43:42,060 directly to the 2014 paper and it's 2714 01:43:48,050 --> 01:43:45,300 interesting actually because the 2715 01:43:50,629 --> 01:43:48,060 um ball lightning that was captured in 2716 01:43:53,629 --> 01:43:50,639 that uh recording 2717 01:43:55,669 --> 01:43:53,639 was you know four feet across 16 feet uh 2718 01:43:57,590 --> 01:43:55,679 diameter approximately total with the 2719 01:43:58,370 --> 01:43:57,600 Luminous aura or whatever you want to 2720 01:44:01,129 --> 01:43:58,380 call it 2721 01:44:03,770 --> 01:44:01,139 um now but the actual in terms of pixels 2722 01:44:05,090 --> 01:44:03,780 it's like you know like 30 pixels across 2723 01:44:07,070 --> 01:44:05,100 or something it was like two kilometers 2724 01:44:09,590 --> 01:44:07,080 from the sensor system but the 2725 01:44:11,510 --> 01:44:09,600 spectrograph was sufficient quality that 2726 01:44:13,310 --> 01:44:11,520 they captured the resolution of the 2727 01:44:15,050 --> 01:44:13,320 light coming off of it to such an extent 2728 01:44:17,149 --> 01:44:15,060 that they could accurately describe 2729 01:44:19,129 --> 01:44:17,159 exactly what chemicals and like what 2730 01:44:22,070 --> 01:44:19,139 elements were involved in the source of 2731 01:44:25,550 --> 01:44:22,080 that light and so that was enough to 2732 01:44:27,229 --> 01:44:25,560 enable uh positive verification and it's 2733 01:44:29,629 --> 01:44:27,239 funny to me that in the modern sort of 2734 01:44:31,310 --> 01:44:29,639 conversation we've got sort of and uh 2735 01:44:34,129 --> 01:44:31,320 you know I like Mick West but he says 2736 01:44:37,550 --> 01:44:34,139 stuff like I want triangulated 4K 2737 01:44:40,910 --> 01:44:37,560 resolution of the UFO based on this 2738 01:44:44,330 --> 01:44:40,920 would be nice well and also if you had 2739 01:44:46,189 --> 01:44:44,340 the three 4K resolution cameras that 2740 01:44:48,290 --> 01:44:46,199 would not get published in physical 2741 01:44:50,209 --> 01:44:48,300 review letters it would be inadequate 2742 01:44:53,270 --> 01:44:50,219 from an actual scientific perspective 2743 01:44:55,189 --> 01:44:53,280 you need the spectrographic evidence to 2744 01:44:56,229 --> 01:44:55,199 prove the actual nature of what you're 2745 01:44:59,510 --> 01:44:56,239 looking at 2746 01:45:03,590 --> 01:44:59,520 and so we have this obsession with a 2747 01:45:05,510 --> 01:45:03,600 high resolution visual of the object 2748 01:45:08,030 --> 01:45:05,520 based on what I've read that is an 2749 01:45:10,310 --> 01:45:08,040 inaccurate way of trying to prove this 2750 01:45:12,530 --> 01:45:10,320 thing basically if we want to even say 2751 01:45:14,149 --> 01:45:12,540 ball lightning is entirely separate from 2752 01:45:15,709 --> 01:45:14,159 what UFOs are let's say they're 2753 01:45:18,470 --> 01:45:15,719 completely discreet 2754 01:45:21,709 --> 01:45:18,480 the case study from ball lightning 2755 01:45:24,010 --> 01:45:21,719 shows us step by step how you prove one 2756 01:45:26,930 --> 01:45:24,020 of these slippery phenomena 2757 01:45:28,010 --> 01:45:26,940 how much of these things cost the high 2758 01:45:29,149 --> 01:45:28,020 spectral 2759 01:45:31,490 --> 01:45:29,159 uh 2760 01:45:34,250 --> 01:45:31,500 yeah more could they become more 2761 01:45:35,870 --> 01:45:34,260 ubiquitous I think they absolutely are 2762 01:45:39,350 --> 01:45:35,880 becoming like they're gonna get super 2763 01:45:41,930 --> 01:45:39,360 chats so we can buy one okay yeah like 2764 01:45:44,209 --> 01:45:41,940 share subscribe guys I know that like it 2765 01:45:45,470 --> 01:45:44,219 was like 15 years ago or something in an 2766 01:45:46,729 --> 01:45:45,480 interview I saw I mean I didn't see it 2767 01:45:48,050 --> 01:45:46,739 15 years ago I saw an interview from 2768 01:45:49,910 --> 01:45:48,060 like 15 years ago with one of the 2769 01:45:52,250 --> 01:45:49,920 hezdalen uh professors the assistant 2770 01:45:53,750 --> 01:45:52,260 professor Bjorn houg actually he's 2771 01:45:56,629 --> 01:45:53,760 talking about how he doesn't have enough 2772 01:45:58,609 --> 01:45:56,639 of a budget to buy a spectral camera 2773 01:46:01,129 --> 01:45:58,619 capable of actually proving what he's 2774 01:46:03,290 --> 01:46:01,139 seeing uh I I can't remember like the 2775 01:46:05,930 --> 01:46:03,300 price that he sites is like he needs 25 2776 01:46:07,129 --> 01:46:05,940 000 bucks for it or something and like I 2777 01:46:10,129 --> 01:46:07,139 don't know if that's accurate or not but 2778 01:46:12,290 --> 01:46:10,139 they're quite pricey certainly yeah but 2779 01:46:15,350 --> 01:46:12,300 they're so pricey then not even Brandon 2780 01:46:19,129 --> 01:46:15,360 Fogel can afford one and yeah that's the 2781 01:46:24,370 --> 01:46:19,139 real uh kicker yeah yeah it's it's like 2782 01:46:27,470 --> 01:46:24,380 it feels a lot like uh people who have a 2783 01:46:28,330 --> 01:46:27,480 economic incentive to keep the mystery 2784 01:46:34,010 --> 01:46:28,340 going 2785 01:46:35,990 --> 01:46:34,020 that works right yeah yeah why is 2786 01:46:37,609 --> 01:46:36,000 nothing straightforward in this entire 2787 01:46:38,930 --> 01:46:37,619 subject 2788 01:46:41,689 --> 01:46:38,940 nothing 2789 01:46:44,510 --> 01:46:41,699 with ugly and different motivations well 2790 01:46:47,030 --> 01:46:44,520 and optimized towards truth and once 2791 01:46:49,850 --> 01:46:47,040 again the uh that's uh the government 2792 01:46:53,149 --> 01:46:49,860 records allow us to not even speculate 2793 01:46:54,709 --> 01:46:53,159 uh we don't have to even imagine what 2794 01:46:57,590 --> 01:46:54,719 the government's trying to achieve with 2795 01:47:00,590 --> 01:46:57,600 their policy we can actually read the 2796 01:47:02,510 --> 01:47:00,600 Declassified internal Communications 2797 01:47:04,430 --> 01:47:02,520 that they themselves are talking to each 2798 01:47:06,169 --> 01:47:04,440 other about what they're trying to 2799 01:47:10,010 --> 01:47:06,179 accomplish on this subject 2800 01:47:13,310 --> 01:47:10,020 and it is entirely based on their fear 2801 01:47:15,649 --> 01:47:13,320 of foreign adversaries Russia Soviet 2802 01:47:18,830 --> 01:47:15,659 Union what Jason colavitos focused on so 2803 01:47:20,810 --> 01:47:18,840 heavily that the so the Russians are uh 2804 01:47:25,510 --> 01:47:20,820 historically Soviets use this as a way 2805 01:47:29,810 --> 01:47:25,520 of creating social Strife by like UFOs 2806 01:47:32,750 --> 01:47:29,820 and think about this think about UFO 2807 01:47:35,149 --> 01:47:32,760 researchers trying to prove aliens think 2808 01:47:39,350 --> 01:47:35,159 about the Freedom of Information access 2809 01:47:42,590 --> 01:47:39,360 system and creating an army of dedicated 2810 01:47:44,450 --> 01:47:42,600 people who are exclusively motivated to 2811 01:47:46,970 --> 01:47:44,460 get every single piece of information 2812 01:47:47,750 --> 01:47:46,980 possible from the most secret things out 2813 01:47:50,270 --> 01:47:47,760 there 2814 01:47:51,950 --> 01:47:50,280 this this reminds me of like like one of 2815 01:47:53,930 --> 01:47:51,960 the most aesthetically pleasing 2816 01:47:56,270 --> 01:47:53,940 conspiracies I've heard is that string 2817 01:47:58,370 --> 01:47:56,280 theory was developed as an OP to 2818 01:48:01,609 --> 01:47:58,380 distract physics research for the last 2819 01:48:04,729 --> 01:48:01,619 20 years and like all this stuff I mean 2820 01:48:10,970 --> 01:48:04,739 from Weinstein himself yes yeah it's 2821 01:48:14,590 --> 01:48:12,590 I shouldn't have a myth to create like 2822 01:48:16,910 --> 01:48:14,600 institutional and bureaucratic friction 2823 01:48:19,129 --> 01:48:16,920 and undermine trust in the government 2824 01:48:20,570 --> 01:48:19,139 like we've talked about that right and I 2825 01:48:22,970 --> 01:48:20,580 think that that's why the alt-right like 2826 01:48:26,990 --> 01:48:22,980 this is why like Tucker Carlson does not 2827 01:48:28,370 --> 01:48:27,000 give a [\h__\h] about UFOs sure he loves to 2828 01:48:30,109 --> 01:48:28,380 undermine the government and 2829 01:48:33,290 --> 01:48:30,119 institutions of record and unwind 2830 01:48:36,169 --> 01:48:33,300 consensus reality yeah UFOs are a great 2831 01:48:39,350 --> 01:48:36,179 vehicle for doing that right like of 2832 01:48:41,450 --> 01:48:39,360 course duh yeah and that was part of uh 2833 01:48:44,209 --> 01:48:41,460 what got me interested originally was 2834 01:48:46,609 --> 01:48:44,219 that the idea of the objects being 2835 01:48:50,090 --> 01:48:46,619 impervious to the American government's 2836 01:48:52,070 --> 01:48:50,100 scrutiny defied my world view because it 2837 01:48:54,530 --> 01:48:52,080 was something stepping outside of 2838 01:48:57,410 --> 01:48:54,540 expectation in that way right like 2839 01:49:03,490 --> 01:48:57,420 contradicting right the established uh 2840 01:49:09,830 --> 01:49:06,729 ever touched an alien do we know 2841 01:49:12,649 --> 01:49:09,840 what we do have uh actually uh there's 2842 01:49:14,149 --> 01:49:12,659 an excellent journalist uh based out of 2843 01:49:15,830 --> 01:49:14,159 um I think he's in North Bay now I think 2844 01:49:18,470 --> 01:49:15,840 he was originally from Toronto Daniel 2845 01:49:20,689 --> 01:49:18,480 Otis he's been on UCR several times he 2846 01:49:23,390 --> 01:49:20,699 worked for vice I'm not sure if he still 2847 01:49:24,950 --> 01:49:23,400 works for vice but he uh has done a huge 2848 01:49:27,350 --> 01:49:24,960 amount of work on this 2849 01:49:29,689 --> 01:49:27,360 uh we know that the Canadian defense 2850 01:49:31,669 --> 01:49:29,699 minister was briefed on it a couple 2851 01:49:33,290 --> 01:49:31,679 years ago there was just sort of like no 2852 01:49:35,689 --> 01:49:33,300 there's nothing going on here 2853 01:49:39,050 --> 01:49:35,699 um what we do know historically is um 2854 01:49:43,070 --> 01:49:39,060 there's a man uh named Chris Rutkowski 2855 01:49:45,350 --> 01:49:43,080 he is a academic he's out of um 2856 01:49:48,350 --> 01:49:45,360 I think University of uh 2857 01:49:50,810 --> 01:49:48,360 of Regina or something but uh anyway he 2858 01:49:52,729 --> 01:49:50,820 ended up in the if I remember correctly 2859 01:49:54,290 --> 01:49:52,739 the story it's a such a classic kind of 2860 01:49:56,750 --> 01:49:54,300 like Canadian small town type thing 2861 01:49:58,910 --> 01:49:56,760 almost like he was like talking he was 2862 01:50:01,070 --> 01:49:58,920 doing research with I think the national 2863 01:50:02,450 --> 01:50:01,080 uh archives or something in the 90s he 2864 01:50:05,450 --> 01:50:02,460 ended up talking to somebody involved 2865 01:50:06,709 --> 01:50:05,460 with like receiving the radar return or 2866 01:50:10,310 --> 01:50:06,719 the the 2867 01:50:13,609 --> 01:50:10,320 um the reports created by the aviation 2868 01:50:15,590 --> 01:50:13,619 Authority when a UFO is observed and 2869 01:50:16,490 --> 01:50:15,600 then this person he was talking to was 2870 01:50:18,169 --> 01:50:16,500 saying like we don't know what to do 2871 01:50:19,609 --> 01:50:18,179 with these things he's interested in 2872 01:50:21,830 --> 01:50:19,619 UFOs and he's just straight upset to the 2873 01:50:24,530 --> 01:50:21,840 guy like all takes them all archive them 2874 01:50:26,930 --> 01:50:24,540 and since the 90s the uh you know the 2875 01:50:29,149 --> 01:50:26,940 official Canadian government reporting 2876 01:50:31,370 --> 01:50:29,159 agency just forwards all of the cases to 2877 01:50:33,950 --> 01:50:31,380 this random guy 2878 01:50:35,390 --> 01:50:33,960 um and uh he talks about it often on 2879 01:50:36,770 --> 01:50:35,400 shows and stuff seems like a nice guy 2880 01:50:40,010 --> 01:50:36,780 but uh like you know that's the level 2881 01:50:41,870 --> 01:50:40,020 okay but one more question for you 2882 01:50:45,050 --> 01:50:41,880 um what's it like living in a country 2883 01:50:48,609 --> 01:50:45,060 that doesn't have brain worms oh what's 2884 01:50:53,149 --> 01:50:51,470 the fact that the fact that like you 2885 01:50:55,310 --> 01:50:53,159 like Canada can 2886 01:50:59,149 --> 01:50:55,320 instant Purge this subject in a reasoned 2887 01:51:02,030 --> 01:50:59,159 and not insane way honestly I'm I'm 2888 01:51:04,850 --> 01:51:02,040 regularly very thankful for a living 2889 01:51:06,890 --> 01:51:04,860 where I live it must be nice yeah uh the 2890 01:51:09,649 --> 01:51:06,900 biggest single thing uh is Healthcare 2891 01:51:13,070 --> 01:51:09,659 Universal Health Care uh you know that's 2892 01:51:15,649 --> 01:51:13,080 just it it gives me absolute freedom in 2893 01:51:17,810 --> 01:51:15,659 a way that I can't understand why y'all 2894 01:51:19,790 --> 01:51:17,820 down in America love and freedom don't 2895 01:51:21,169 --> 01:51:19,800 want freedom to quit your job and not 2896 01:51:22,850 --> 01:51:21,179 have to worry about bankrupting your 2897 01:51:24,410 --> 01:51:22,860 phone oh I know this is this is what 2898 01:51:26,510 --> 01:51:24,420 this is my impetus to go back to work 2899 01:51:28,070 --> 01:51:26,520 I'm paying like 1200 bucks a month for 2900 01:51:30,109 --> 01:51:28,080 health care right now and it's not even 2901 01:51:31,790 --> 01:51:30,119 complete I still have to pay if I go to 2902 01:51:34,129 --> 01:51:31,800 a doctor it doesn't really think there's 2903 01:51:36,290 --> 01:51:34,139 like a copay absolutely insane yeah a 2904 01:51:37,729 --> 01:51:36,300 nightmare yeah so but yes yeah it's nice 2905 01:51:39,530 --> 01:51:37,739 to work in a country that where things 2906 01:51:45,129 --> 01:51:39,540 at least functional infrastructure is 2907 01:51:49,790 --> 01:51:47,270 which country do you think has got the 2908 01:51:54,350 --> 01:51:49,800 most um reasonable 2909 01:51:56,810 --> 01:51:54,360 approach to UFO's UAP 2910 01:51:58,790 --> 01:51:56,820 that's a really interesting government 2911 01:52:00,470 --> 01:51:58,800 engagement I mean at the government 2912 01:52:02,810 --> 01:52:00,480 level 2913 01:52:05,090 --> 01:52:02,820 okay because I know that like France and 2914 01:52:06,770 --> 01:52:05,100 Brazil and um 2915 01:52:08,209 --> 01:52:06,780 what's another country some countries 2916 01:52:12,250 --> 01:52:08,219 and other countries in South America 2917 01:52:15,109 --> 01:52:12,260 some other country Africa Asia Africa 2918 01:52:17,510 --> 01:52:15,119 some take it seriously yeah and it's 2919 01:52:19,310 --> 01:52:17,520 like an interesting question like okay I 2920 01:52:21,290 --> 01:52:19,320 have a suspicion I can't prove it 2921 01:52:23,090 --> 01:52:21,300 obviously I have a suspicion that the 2922 01:52:25,430 --> 01:52:23,100 Chinese government might actually know 2923 01:52:27,709 --> 01:52:25,440 what's going on in part because the 2014 2924 01:52:29,750 --> 01:52:27,719 paper was published and it was done by 2925 01:52:32,510 --> 01:52:29,760 researchers in China studying lightning 2926 01:52:35,330 --> 01:52:32,520 and electromagnetism and their advances 2927 01:52:37,790 --> 01:52:35,340 on the subject of electromagnetism are 2928 01:52:41,030 --> 01:52:37,800 uh pretty terrifying at this point 2929 01:52:42,109 --> 01:52:41,040 um they are leaning into it it's a 2930 01:52:45,890 --> 01:52:42,119 research Institution 2931 01:52:48,050 --> 01:52:45,900 yeah and in the even in 2000 in this UK 2932 01:52:50,209 --> 01:52:48,060 secret report they say that they think 2933 01:52:51,950 --> 01:52:50,219 they're most afraid that the Russians 2934 01:52:54,590 --> 01:52:51,960 are ahead of them on the subject of 2935 01:52:57,890 --> 01:52:54,600 Plasma Research in part uh potentially 2936 01:53:00,169 --> 01:52:57,900 due to the stigma around UFOs it's an 2937 01:53:03,290 --> 01:53:00,179 interesting uh irony there potentially 2938 01:53:06,550 --> 01:53:03,300 that yeah end up being behind on science 2939 01:53:08,510 --> 01:53:06,560 because of trying to suppress the 2940 01:53:09,410 --> 01:53:08,520 observations of the objects because 2941 01:53:11,390 --> 01:53:09,420 they're afraid of the defense 2942 01:53:12,770 --> 01:53:11,400 significance it's like 2943 01:53:13,750 --> 01:53:12,780 it's pretty interesting I don't know 2944 01:53:17,629 --> 01:53:13,760 yeah 2945 01:53:20,450 --> 01:53:17,639 UFOs touch everything man they're like 2946 01:53:22,490 --> 01:53:20,460 that one subject that cross-discipline 2947 01:53:24,410 --> 01:53:22,500 with like every other thing it seems 2948 01:53:26,209 --> 01:53:24,420 like yeah and maybe everything I'm 2949 01:53:28,070 --> 01:53:26,219 saying today in like 10 years it's like 2950 01:53:29,750 --> 01:53:28,080 he was a hundred percent off like 2951 01:53:30,950 --> 01:53:29,760 everything that guy said is just totally 2952 01:53:33,410 --> 01:53:30,960 nuts 2953 01:53:34,970 --> 01:53:33,420 I have uh you know whatever I'm just 2954 01:53:36,350 --> 01:53:34,980 like any other person who like does 2955 01:53:38,149 --> 01:53:36,360 research and then thinks that they know 2956 01:53:40,490 --> 01:53:38,159 what they're talking about I've tried to 2957 01:53:42,050 --> 01:53:40,500 do the most I can to have it have 2958 01:53:45,530 --> 01:53:42,060 nothing to do with me and only be direct 2959 01:53:48,709 --> 01:53:45,540 sighted to original sources and the um 2960 01:53:51,649 --> 01:53:48,719 I'll just say that the the disparate 2961 01:53:55,310 --> 01:53:51,659 sources of the descriptions of the 2962 01:53:56,950 --> 01:53:55,320 objects being described all resolving as 2963 01:53:59,930 --> 01:53:56,960 like fundamentally 2964 01:54:01,010 --> 01:53:59,940 observationally apparently the same 2965 01:54:04,129 --> 01:54:01,020 thing 2966 01:54:06,649 --> 01:54:04,139 to me is very compelling yeah the 2967 01:54:09,770 --> 01:54:06,659 America like the FBI report from 49 the 2968 01:54:12,050 --> 01:54:09,780 CIA reports from 52 yeah and ongoing you 2969 01:54:13,729 --> 01:54:12,060 have the U.S Air Force blue book reports 2970 01:54:16,310 --> 01:54:13,739 describing the same objects the United 2971 01:54:17,870 --> 01:54:16,320 Kingdom Ministry of Defense describing 2972 01:54:20,149 --> 01:54:17,880 the same objects you have jail and 2973 01:54:22,970 --> 01:54:20,159 heinek uh Jack Valley you have the 2974 01:54:26,209 --> 01:54:22,980 history of a ghost you have the history 2975 01:54:27,770 --> 01:54:26,219 of uh Elves and the Luminous beings the 2976 01:54:28,910 --> 01:54:27,780 fairies all this stuff and then you look 2977 01:54:31,430 --> 01:54:28,920 at it all 2978 01:54:33,229 --> 01:54:31,440 and then you have proof that voluminous 2979 01:54:35,030 --> 01:54:33,239 objects that are very large do exist in 2980 01:54:36,830 --> 01:54:35,040 the atmosphere and they have the same 2981 01:54:38,629 --> 01:54:36,840 features and 2982 01:54:41,990 --> 01:54:38,639 seems compelling to me but maybe I'm 2983 01:54:45,290 --> 01:54:43,910 the entire point of our conversations 2984 01:54:47,450 --> 01:54:45,300 right 2985 01:54:49,070 --> 01:54:47,460 um are to elevate the discourse and to 2986 01:54:51,109 --> 01:54:49,080 show what it means to negotiate and 2987 01:54:52,490 --> 01:54:51,119 navigate a subject like this 2988 01:54:54,770 --> 01:54:52,500 um yeah and I'm willing to be proven 2989 01:54:56,410 --> 01:54:54,780 wrong and that's uh so important yeah 2990 01:54:59,149 --> 01:54:56,420 that's yeah 2991 01:55:01,129 --> 01:54:59,159 oh sorry not having a teleology is so 2992 01:55:03,229 --> 01:55:01,139 important right like commitments to 2993 01:55:05,770 --> 01:55:03,239 truth not to consistency always being 2994 01:55:08,570 --> 01:55:05,780 willing to give up uh ideas and opinions 2995 01:55:10,669 --> 01:55:08,580 upon presentation of more compelling or 2996 01:55:12,649 --> 01:55:10,679 verifiable evidence 2997 01:55:14,330 --> 01:55:12,659 you know what I kind of personally think 2998 01:55:16,550 --> 01:55:14,340 uh is compelling about where you're 2999 01:55:18,649 --> 01:55:16,560 coming from Campbell is that uh these 3000 01:55:20,450 --> 01:55:18,659 these characteristics describe some of 3001 01:55:23,390 --> 01:55:20,460 the more at least in my opinion some of 3002 01:55:25,609 --> 01:55:23,400 the more stronger UFO cases like my top 3003 01:55:28,790 --> 01:55:25,619 case is Lake Michigan and it describes 3004 01:55:31,010 --> 01:55:28,800 that very well but uh the 1952 Invasion 3005 01:55:34,850 --> 01:55:31,020 uh Mino Air Force Base you mentioned 3006 01:55:36,709 --> 01:55:34,860 also write our visual sightings oh which 3007 01:55:39,590 --> 01:55:36,719 you know that that's more than you can 3008 01:55:41,689 --> 01:55:39,600 say that uh about a lot of UFO cases is 3009 01:55:43,729 --> 01:55:41,699 these better witnessed ones to borrow 3010 01:55:47,030 --> 01:55:43,739 that phrase again that have uh Visual 3011 01:55:49,250 --> 01:55:47,040 and radar data along with it do all kind 3012 01:55:51,229 --> 01:55:49,260 of fall into the descriptions of what 3013 01:55:53,149 --> 01:55:51,239 you were talking about also so I think 3014 01:55:55,970 --> 01:55:53,159 that that it's it's compelling enough to 3015 01:55:57,770 --> 01:55:55,980 like use that as a lens to go back 3016 01:56:00,890 --> 01:55:57,780 through other old cases and stuff like 3017 01:56:02,870 --> 01:56:00,900 uh and and to see how far it matches up 3018 01:56:04,250 --> 01:56:02,880 with a lot of the other descriptions I 3019 01:56:07,430 --> 01:56:04,260 mean like 3020 01:56:09,050 --> 01:56:07,440 um nocturnal lights is a classic UFO 3021 01:56:11,149 --> 01:56:09,060 description I wonder how many more 3022 01:56:13,010 --> 01:56:11,159 classic cases you go back and be like 3023 01:56:14,990 --> 01:56:13,020 you know this these do fit descriptions 3024 01:56:17,570 --> 01:56:15,000 because for a lot of those which are 3025 01:56:20,390 --> 01:56:17,580 classified as unknowns I mean that's a 3026 01:56:22,129 --> 01:56:20,400 at least a very plausible explanation 3027 01:56:25,010 --> 01:56:22,139 for some of these ones that haven't had 3028 01:56:26,870 --> 01:56:25,020 an explanation like uh the Lake Michigan 3029 01:56:27,950 --> 01:56:26,880 case that I've been looking into I mean 3030 01:56:29,750 --> 01:56:27,960 this is the only thing that actually 3031 01:56:32,629 --> 01:56:29,760 kind of fits so I'm putting that at the 3032 01:56:33,350 --> 01:56:32,639 top of my list as to identifying these 3033 01:56:35,570 --> 01:56:33,360 things 3034 01:56:37,910 --> 01:56:35,580 that's cool and okay and that is sort of 3035 01:56:39,530 --> 01:56:37,920 the essence of what I sort of picked up 3036 01:56:41,149 --> 01:56:39,540 on when I started looking into this more 3037 01:56:43,669 --> 01:56:41,159 and more without any of this history of 3038 01:56:46,669 --> 01:56:43,679 the cases when I started looking at some 3039 01:56:48,290 --> 01:56:46,679 of the cases and um getting into the 3040 01:56:50,689 --> 01:56:48,300 details of the way people reported it 3041 01:56:53,149 --> 01:56:50,699 the number of people it is hard to not 3042 01:56:54,709 --> 01:56:53,159 think like it's like these people I feel 3043 01:56:57,590 --> 01:56:54,719 like at least some of them are seeing 3044 01:57:00,890 --> 01:56:57,600 something somewhat like what the sort of 3045 01:57:03,649 --> 01:57:00,900 like vague set of descriptions ends up 3046 01:57:05,209 --> 01:57:03,659 coalescing into sure and it's like it is 3047 01:57:07,990 --> 01:57:05,219 compelling just from a human perspective 3048 01:57:11,450 --> 01:57:08,000 to like trust right and so 3049 01:57:14,390 --> 01:57:11,460 seeing all of these things like the the 3050 01:57:17,810 --> 01:57:14,400 U.S Air Force record like Declassified 3051 01:57:19,129 --> 01:57:17,820 you know blue book report from 1968 3052 01:57:22,250 --> 01:57:19,139 saying 3053 01:57:24,950 --> 01:57:22,260 ball lightning has these features this 3054 01:57:28,729 --> 01:57:24,960 is probably a ball lightning and then um 3055 01:57:30,530 --> 01:57:28,739 thinking of like there has been that 3056 01:57:33,589 --> 01:57:30,540 possible 3057 01:57:35,990 --> 01:57:33,599 space in this subject where some people 3058 01:57:37,790 --> 01:57:36,000 actually are seeing these things that if 3059 01:57:40,189 --> 01:57:37,800 I had been told that they saw them until 3060 01:57:41,330 --> 01:57:40,199 last year even I would have said not yet 3061 01:57:42,890 --> 01:57:41,340 that I don't think that that doesn't 3062 01:57:44,870 --> 01:57:42,900 exist that's not within my sphere of 3063 01:57:47,270 --> 01:57:44,880 reality to have these huge luminous 3064 01:57:48,950 --> 01:57:47,280 things flying around like that right and 3065 01:57:51,709 --> 01:57:48,960 so it's like 3066 01:57:54,290 --> 01:57:51,719 there is an injustice there in peoples 3067 01:57:55,729 --> 01:57:54,300 and if if this is correct that the 3068 01:57:57,530 --> 01:57:55,739 objects have been observed by these 3069 01:57:59,689 --> 01:57:57,540 people in this way for so long like 3070 01:58:01,550 --> 01:57:59,699 there is an interesting 3071 01:58:04,070 --> 01:58:01,560 Touch of Injustice there in the 3072 01:58:06,229 --> 01:58:04,080 invalidation that's occurred and yeah to 3073 01:58:08,270 --> 01:58:06,239 look at the UK Ministry of Defense 3074 01:58:09,709 --> 01:58:08,280 report from 2000 saying we're going to 3075 01:58:12,530 --> 01:58:09,719 keep this Secret 3076 01:58:14,689 --> 01:58:12,540 because we need to study these things in 3077 01:58:16,310 --> 01:58:14,699 more depth and get a on top of exactly 3078 01:58:18,350 --> 01:58:16,320 how they function since they could have 3079 01:58:20,629 --> 01:58:18,360 potential applications in all kinds of 3080 01:58:23,330 --> 01:58:20,639 things like fusion power and radar 3081 01:58:24,350 --> 01:58:23,340 spoofing and all this crap it's like 3082 01:58:26,570 --> 01:58:24,360 they're 3083 01:58:28,729 --> 01:58:26,580 on paper it says we're intentionally 3084 01:58:30,770 --> 01:58:28,739 keeping this thing secret so it's like 3085 01:58:33,530 --> 01:58:30,780 it is the conspiracy but that's written 3086 01:58:34,850 --> 01:58:33,540 down by the government and it's like it 3087 01:58:36,109 --> 01:58:34,860 makes it so much more interesting I 3088 01:58:38,570 --> 01:58:36,119 think this subject will become 3089 01:58:40,669 --> 01:58:38,580 increasingly fascinating as sort of 3090 01:58:42,550 --> 01:58:40,679 things become more and more known over 3091 01:58:44,209 --> 01:58:42,560 time 3092 01:58:46,310 --> 01:58:44,219 wonderful 3093 01:58:48,770 --> 01:58:46,320 gentlemen we are just about at the top 3094 01:58:50,330 --> 01:58:48,780 of the hour wow yeah it was good to get 3095 01:58:54,050 --> 01:58:50,340 the gang back together it's been a while 3096 01:58:56,510 --> 01:58:54,060 indeed um yeah uh before we wrap things 3097 01:58:58,850 --> 01:58:56,520 up Nick what do you have going on 3098 01:59:01,010 --> 01:58:58,860 um I'm still doing kind of the uh the 3099 01:59:03,890 --> 01:59:01,020 big report on Lake Michigan and um with 3100 01:59:06,109 --> 01:59:03,900 the release of the Netflix uh they're 3101 01:59:08,330 --> 01:59:06,119 serious or Unsolved Mysteries I have 3102 01:59:10,070 --> 01:59:08,340 more to add to it now because I want to 3103 01:59:11,990 --> 01:59:10,080 um you know check that water spout thing 3104 01:59:13,910 --> 01:59:12,000 off the box in there too so it's coming 3105 01:59:15,589 --> 01:59:13,920 along it'll probably be done in like a 3106 01:59:17,629 --> 01:59:15,599 week or two but that'll be kind of 3107 01:59:19,129 --> 01:59:17,639 comprehensive of what I've learned and 3108 01:59:20,750 --> 01:59:19,139 gone over throughout the whole case and 3109 01:59:23,030 --> 01:59:20,760 kind of like all the information in one 3110 01:59:25,490 --> 01:59:23,040 place and citing all the sources kind of 3111 01:59:28,070
