95 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:08,419 about this technical difficulties 96 00:05:12,770 --> 00:05:16,510 [Music] 97 00:05:21,650 --> 00:05:18,950 we're talking about uh the the UAP 98 00:05:23,330 --> 00:05:21,660 report and the mosul sphere yeah which 99 00:05:25,969 --> 00:05:23,340 one do you want to go with first let's 100 00:05:28,070 --> 00:05:25,979 see the report yeah chronologically yeah 101 00:05:30,170 --> 00:05:28,080 yeah the report well I was I was very 102 00:05:31,909 --> 00:05:30,180 disappointed by the report I was 103 00:05:34,010 --> 00:05:31,919 expecting more 104 00:05:35,689 --> 00:05:34,020 uh partly the reason I was expecting 105 00:05:37,430 --> 00:05:35,699 more is that before the report came out 106 00:05:40,430 --> 00:05:37,440 there was this this story in the New 107 00:05:42,409 --> 00:05:40,440 York Times by uh Julian Barnes and there 108 00:05:45,290 --> 00:05:42,419 was another story oh I've seen news it's 109 00:05:47,990 --> 00:05:45,300 not just uh Julian doing this and both 110 00:05:50,689 --> 00:05:48,000 these stories are thought to a source in 111 00:05:53,689 --> 00:05:50,699 the Pentagon and the Pentagon Source had 112 00:05:55,730 --> 00:05:53,699 said that uh amongst other things like 113 00:05:58,430 --> 00:05:55,740 the the gimbal video 114 00:06:00,830 --> 00:05:58,440 uh showed essentially a rotating camera 115 00:06:02,629 --> 00:06:00,840 artifact and that the gocast showed 116 00:06:04,249 --> 00:06:02,639 something that wasn't going very fast it 117 00:06:06,590 --> 00:06:04,259 was going like I think there's 30 knots 118 00:06:08,330 --> 00:06:06,600 or something and both those were things 119 00:06:09,890 --> 00:06:08,340 that you know I'd kind of come up with 120 00:06:12,170 --> 00:06:09,900 you know me and the guys on MetaBank 121 00:06:14,510 --> 00:06:12,180 have come up with over the years with 122 00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,520 our analogies of these videos so I was 123 00:06:18,409 --> 00:06:17,039 kind of excited to see the report and I 124 00:06:20,450 --> 00:06:18,419 was hoping that they would include some 125 00:06:22,370 --> 00:06:20,460 stuff like that in it but as it turns 126 00:06:23,809 --> 00:06:22,380 out you know there was there was nothing 127 00:06:26,510 --> 00:06:23,819 specific 128 00:06:27,950 --> 00:06:26,520 in the UAP report about any any 129 00:06:30,529 --> 00:06:27,960 particular case at all there was even 130 00:06:32,270 --> 00:06:30,539 less than in the first report so we're 131 00:06:34,790 --> 00:06:32,280 disappointed by that 132 00:06:36,529 --> 00:06:34,800 hey Nick sorry to interrupts but can you 133 00:06:38,390 --> 00:06:36,539 yell into your mic we're getting some 134 00:06:42,189 --> 00:06:38,400 reports that your audio is a little bit 135 00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:42,199 low yeah I'll boost the game 136 00:06:47,090 --> 00:06:44,580 yeah there you go that's or boost again 137 00:06:49,749 --> 00:06:47,100 that's fine how are you doing how does 138 00:06:52,370 --> 00:06:49,759 that sound is that better yeah 139 00:06:55,969 --> 00:06:52,380 yeah I always have to stream yard for 140 00:06:58,370 --> 00:06:55,979 some reason no but yeah it's louder at 141 00:07:00,170 --> 00:06:58,380 least let me uh I'll try using the game 142 00:07:01,850 --> 00:07:00,180 shouting 143 00:07:04,129 --> 00:07:01,860 this is part of the fun of the live 144 00:07:05,870 --> 00:07:04,139 shows yeah stream yard is always a bit 145 00:07:09,590 --> 00:07:05,880 iffy for me but I'll uh I'll do my best 146 00:07:12,110 --> 00:07:09,600 to uh to speak clearly and uh see what 147 00:07:15,890 --> 00:07:12,120 happens all right okay so yeah uh so 148 00:07:18,469 --> 00:07:15,900 that was my take for UAP report and the 149 00:07:20,749 --> 00:07:18,479 UAV report was oh I'm sorry 150 00:07:23,450 --> 00:07:20,759 no is it go ahead uh it was interesting 151 00:07:25,309 --> 00:07:23,460 to me because while it wasn't very 152 00:07:27,950 --> 00:07:25,319 specific it did give some rough numbers 153 00:07:29,210 --> 00:07:27,960 of things and I think um I can't recall 154 00:07:31,309 --> 00:07:29,220 them off the top of my head but I think 155 00:07:32,749 --> 00:07:31,319 there's a large uh majority of them that 156 00:07:35,689 --> 00:07:32,759 were classified as like balloon-like 157 00:07:38,270 --> 00:07:35,699 entities or essentially air whatever and 158 00:07:39,589 --> 00:07:38,280 while that's not exciting and you hear a 159 00:07:41,210 --> 00:07:39,599 lot of people on Twitter saying oh we 160 00:07:44,629 --> 00:07:41,220 don't care about the solve stuff I think 161 00:07:46,670 --> 00:07:44,639 that that kind of in indirectly speaks 162 00:07:49,010 --> 00:07:46,680 to the idea that there isn't something 163 00:07:51,230 --> 00:07:49,020 as uh like an expert witness or an 164 00:07:52,490 --> 00:07:51,240 expert Observer even since a lot of 165 00:07:54,290 --> 00:07:52,500 these reports were coming in through the 166 00:07:56,510 --> 00:07:54,300 military they were still seeing these 167 00:07:58,430 --> 00:07:56,520 things thinking they were anomalous yet 168 00:08:01,610 --> 00:07:58,440 they turned out to be you know balloons 169 00:08:03,409 --> 00:08:01,620 or birds or Airborne clutter yeah I 170 00:08:05,330 --> 00:08:03,419 think with uh those 171 00:08:07,610 --> 00:08:05,340 um balloons they actually really 172 00:08:09,290 --> 00:08:07,620 identified any of them I I think what 173 00:08:11,450 --> 00:08:09,300 they're doing is they're essentially 174 00:08:13,850 --> 00:08:11,460 characterizing the thoughts based on the 175 00:08:15,650 --> 00:08:13,860 information available it's not like it's 176 00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:15,660 a balloon it's not like they can send a 177 00:08:19,550 --> 00:08:18,120 plane out there and then see and find 178 00:08:21,230 --> 00:08:19,560 the balloon because obviously it would 179 00:08:23,990 --> 00:08:21,240 have blown away or whatever by then 180 00:08:25,249 --> 00:08:24,000 right it's just a random encounter so 181 00:08:27,309 --> 00:08:25,259 what they're doing I think is just 182 00:08:31,550 --> 00:08:27,319 simply analyzing the data that they get 183 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:31,560 uh from uh on the pilots and maybe from 184 00:08:37,790 --> 00:08:34,560 the rail and they'll see that uh it's 185 00:08:39,350 --> 00:08:37,800 consistent being a balloon uh that they 186 00:08:40,790 --> 00:08:39,360 can actually tell that it's a balloon 187 00:08:43,790 --> 00:08:40,800 because of you know whatever data that 188 00:08:45,350 --> 00:08:43,800 they have uh you know I I think saying 189 00:08:47,509 --> 00:08:45,360 that they investigated them and sold 190 00:08:49,370 --> 00:08:47,519 them as balloons might perhaps even be 191 00:08:50,750 --> 00:08:49,380 overselling it a little bit it's just 192 00:08:52,550 --> 00:08:50,760 where they had enough information to 193 00:08:54,470 --> 00:08:52,560 tell that it looked like balloon which I 194 00:08:56,690 --> 00:08:54,480 think is why they said balloon locked it 195 00:08:59,150 --> 00:08:56,700 is you're there I don't think this would 196 00:09:01,610 --> 00:08:59,160 be separate categories is it the same 197 00:09:04,190 --> 00:09:01,620 thing balloons or balloon-like actors is 198 00:09:05,930 --> 00:09:04,200 this what they characterized as so they 199 00:09:08,630 --> 00:09:05,940 see something that's you know moving at 200 00:09:10,790 --> 00:09:08,640 30 knots and has a small radar signature 201 00:09:13,430 --> 00:09:10,800 that's a balloon balloon like energy 202 00:09:15,230 --> 00:09:13,440 uh and probably most of them of course 203 00:09:17,509 --> 00:09:15,240 actually are balloons but yeah maybe 204 00:09:20,269 --> 00:09:17,519 there are small alien spaceships it's 205 00:09:22,430 --> 00:09:20,279 very hard to tell for sure of course 206 00:09:26,930 --> 00:09:22,440 well 207 00:09:30,410 --> 00:09:26,940 interesting language around how like 208 00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:30,420 some of them may appear to demonstrate 209 00:09:34,850 --> 00:09:32,160 exceptional features or whatever and 210 00:09:37,130 --> 00:09:34,860 they're obviously uh conditional 211 00:09:38,690 --> 00:09:37,140 language and in this report it seemed to 212 00:09:40,970 --> 00:09:38,700 me that they pulled back from that 213 00:09:43,130 --> 00:09:40,980 further uh in line with sort of what you 214 00:09:46,070 --> 00:09:43,140 were uh saying Mick about how they they 215 00:09:48,470 --> 00:09:46,080 seem to not put as much data in there as 216 00:09:49,910 --> 00:09:48,480 they could have and uh I'm wondering if 217 00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:49,920 you have any thoughts about like why 218 00:09:54,829 --> 00:09:53,160 wouldn't they have uh included more 219 00:09:56,990 --> 00:09:54,839 information and tried to sort of like 220 00:10:00,230 --> 00:09:57,000 lay out how they're solving these things 221 00:10:02,030 --> 00:10:00,240 and encouraging people to sort of adopt 222 00:10:04,490 --> 00:10:02,040 that perspective of like oh there are 223 00:10:06,230 --> 00:10:04,500 like sufficient prosaic explanations for 224 00:10:07,430 --> 00:10:06,240 a lot if if not all of these 225 00:10:08,990 --> 00:10:07,440 observations 226 00:10:11,750 --> 00:10:09,000 well I think something that's very 227 00:10:14,090 --> 00:10:11,760 unclear uh with reporters what's the 228 00:10:15,350 --> 00:10:14,100 actual motivation behind the people who 229 00:10:18,290 --> 00:10:15,360 are writing it 230 00:10:20,750 --> 00:10:18,300 and and I think for like from what we 231 00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:20,760 see in the report it's it's also as if 232 00:10:25,730 --> 00:10:23,279 their only motivation is to kind of 233 00:10:28,970 --> 00:10:25,740 fulfill the letter of law like the 234 00:10:31,370 --> 00:10:28,980 actual requirements uh of uh of you know 235 00:10:33,230 --> 00:10:31,380 the Mandate that they had uh that the 236 00:10:34,190 --> 00:10:33,240 requirement that they had to to do this 237 00:10:36,050 --> 00:10:34,200 report 238 00:10:37,130 --> 00:10:36,060 I don't think I think they would just 239 00:10:38,930 --> 00:10:37,140 they wish you would just say as little 240 00:10:40,610 --> 00:10:38,940 as possible because their default 241 00:10:42,769 --> 00:10:40,620 position has always been that they're 242 00:10:44,690 --> 00:10:42,779 not going to release the results of any 243 00:10:47,329 --> 00:10:44,700 any of their investigations that might 244 00:10:48,710 --> 00:10:47,339 compromise National Security which is 245 00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:48,720 pretty much everything by default 246 00:10:53,509 --> 00:10:51,060 because all of these things 247 00:10:55,850 --> 00:10:53,519 um if it's something that's 248 00:10:58,009 --> 00:10:55,860 uh happened in the last few years which 249 00:11:00,350 --> 00:10:58,019 is the majority of these reports if not 250 00:11:03,050 --> 00:11:00,360 you know most of uh the the ones that 251 00:11:05,210 --> 00:11:03,060 the new one the 366 new ones 252 00:11:07,370 --> 00:11:05,220 uh they're going to involve technology 253 00:11:08,810 --> 00:11:07,380 which is classified you know the radar 254 00:11:12,290 --> 00:11:08,820 systems in the planes and the 255 00:11:14,090 --> 00:11:12,300 operational procedures of of Pilots that 256 00:11:15,769 --> 00:11:14,100 are current will be clocked by things 257 00:11:17,810 --> 00:11:15,779 and they don't want to reveal that and 258 00:11:19,130 --> 00:11:17,820 so the default position is simply to say 259 00:11:20,630 --> 00:11:19,140 as little as possible which I think is 260 00:11:22,430 --> 00:11:20,640 why we didn't get any information about 261 00:11:23,990 --> 00:11:22,440 even like the Gimbal and the go fast 262 00:11:26,030 --> 00:11:24,000 videos because those are relatively 263 00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:26,040 recent 264 00:11:31,850 --> 00:11:29,220 um so yeah I think the reason there is 265 00:11:33,889 --> 00:11:31,860 simply is is just that they are not 266 00:11:35,870 --> 00:11:33,899 motivated to do it they don't really 267 00:11:37,730 --> 00:11:35,880 care about Euro Twitter they don't 268 00:11:39,530 --> 00:11:37,740 really care that much about the 269 00:11:41,870 --> 00:11:39,540 mainstream media either they know 270 00:11:45,050 --> 00:11:41,880 there's going to be you know stories in 271 00:11:47,750 --> 00:11:45,060 the the mail uh about UFOs when the 272 00:11:50,930 --> 00:11:47,760 report comes out and the the new I think 273 00:11:53,449 --> 00:11:50,940 that if they put more detail in it they 274 00:11:55,009 --> 00:11:53,459 will be more Sensational stories like if 275 00:11:56,990 --> 00:11:55,019 they gave a little bit of detail about 276 00:11:59,090 --> 00:11:57,000 about something yeah would it would just 277 00:12:00,889 --> 00:11:59,100 be more fuel for the the story writers 278 00:12:02,990 --> 00:12:00,899 and even if they put in a little bit 279 00:12:04,730 --> 00:12:03,000 detailed things that they've solved they 280 00:12:05,750 --> 00:12:04,740 that would be you know just more stuff 281 00:12:07,449 --> 00:12:05,760 to write about 282 00:12:10,850 --> 00:12:07,459 so it's almost like they're trying to 283 00:12:14,329 --> 00:12:10,860 kind of pour water on the Fire 284 00:12:17,930 --> 00:12:14,339 and they're not really trying to solve 285 00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:17,940 your AP issue for the public you know in 286 00:12:21,290 --> 00:12:19,260 private I'm sure you know they're trying 287 00:12:23,329 --> 00:12:21,300 to figure out what these things are but 288 00:12:25,490 --> 00:12:23,339 their concern really isn't with telling 289 00:12:28,670 --> 00:12:25,500 the public what things are 290 00:12:30,710 --> 00:12:28,680 do you think um that in terms of the 291 00:12:32,389 --> 00:12:30,720 classified Tech what's the most 292 00:12:34,730 --> 00:12:32,399 important sort of category of that 293 00:12:35,690 --> 00:12:34,740 technology that it that they might be 294 00:12:37,610 --> 00:12:35,700 trying to 295 00:12:39,410 --> 00:12:37,620 keep close to that chest like would it 296 00:12:42,050 --> 00:12:39,420 be propulsion systems or electronic 297 00:12:44,150 --> 00:12:42,060 warfare or what do you think I think uh 298 00:12:46,490 --> 00:12:44,160 to probably two things uh one would be 299 00:12:48,889 --> 00:12:46,500 kind of the uh kind of the airline type 300 00:12:50,870 --> 00:12:48,899 stuff the electronics intelligence uh 301 00:12:53,269 --> 00:12:50,880 sensor systems that can detect like 302 00:12:56,090 --> 00:12:53,279 electronic signatures from uh foreign 303 00:12:59,150 --> 00:12:56,100 craft or other craft and characterize 304 00:13:01,790 --> 00:12:59,160 them uh radar systems they can do more 305 00:13:03,710 --> 00:13:01,800 sophisticated this than simply you know 306 00:13:05,150 --> 00:13:03,720 tell that you know here's something with 307 00:13:08,769 --> 00:13:05,160 those things that can actually determine 308 00:13:11,449 --> 00:13:08,779 the shape of things and uh things like 309 00:13:14,030 --> 00:13:11,459 uh characterizing a Crowd by the radar 310 00:13:16,550 --> 00:13:14,040 return from the uh that the the 311 00:13:18,710 --> 00:13:16,560 compressor blade back of the of the jet 312 00:13:20,090 --> 00:13:18,720 things like that complicate technical 313 00:13:22,370 --> 00:13:20,100 things that you don't want people to 314 00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:22,380 have the exact parameters off and then 315 00:13:28,069 --> 00:13:24,720 the other thing is that uh they don't 316 00:13:29,690 --> 00:13:28,079 want any adversary to know what we know 317 00:13:33,050 --> 00:13:29,700 about them 318 00:13:35,030 --> 00:13:33,060 so if there is uh some kind of more 319 00:13:37,250 --> 00:13:35,040 advanced Chinese sponge drone that's 320 00:13:39,829 --> 00:13:37,260 being launched from uh container ships 321 00:13:43,129 --> 00:13:39,839 like off Long Beach or wherever 322 00:13:46,610 --> 00:13:43,139 um so it's spying upon uh maneuvers 323 00:13:48,290 --> 00:13:46,620 and we know about that we don't want to 324 00:13:50,449 --> 00:13:48,300 tell the Chinese that we know about it 325 00:13:52,129 --> 00:13:50,459 unless there's some diplomatic any 326 00:13:55,190 --> 00:13:52,139 reason for doing that so you know we 327 00:13:58,129 --> 00:13:55,200 don't want them to know what are Awards 328 00:13:59,750 --> 00:13:58,139 of their technological advancement is uh 329 00:14:01,550 --> 00:13:59,760 so I think you know we want to keep our 330 00:14:03,769 --> 00:14:01,560 technology secret we want to keep our 331 00:14:05,030 --> 00:14:03,779 knowledge of the enemies uh technology 332 00:14:06,829 --> 00:14:05,040 Secret 333 00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:06,839 mm-hmm 334 00:14:11,870 --> 00:14:08,700 especially in the context of the current 335 00:14:14,629 --> 00:14:11,880 Ukraine war I guess 336 00:14:16,730 --> 00:14:14,639 yeah I'm not sure like how the Ukraine 337 00:14:17,690 --> 00:14:16,740 war specifically plays into it but you 338 00:14:19,850 --> 00:14:17,700 know if there's going to be any 339 00:14:21,769 --> 00:14:19,860 escalation in that you know you wouldn't 340 00:14:24,769 --> 00:14:21,779 want the Russians knowing exactly what 341 00:14:26,509 --> 00:14:24,779 type of things we can do uh and we we 342 00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:26,519 wouldn't we you know if there are things 343 00:14:30,050 --> 00:14:29,040 that we know about Russian technology we 344 00:14:31,670 --> 00:14:30,060 wouldn't want them know that they're 345 00:14:33,410 --> 00:14:31,680 doing that like if Russia has a sneaky 346 00:14:37,250 --> 00:14:33,420 drone or something that they they might 347 00:14:38,750 --> 00:14:37,260 be using in in the Ukraine uh we 348 00:14:41,569 --> 00:14:38,760 wouldn't want them to know that we know 349 00:14:43,550 --> 00:14:41,579 that so the secrecy is in the best 350 00:14:45,170 --> 00:14:43,560 interest of the military you know maybe 351 00:14:48,350 --> 00:14:45,180 not his it's maybe in the best interest 352 00:14:49,610 --> 00:14:48,360 of the UFO Community but you know you if 353 00:14:52,670 --> 00:14:49,620 you want to maintain your operational 354 00:14:55,550 --> 00:14:52,680 Advantage you don't tell everybody 355 00:14:58,189 --> 00:14:55,560 everything that you know and it's list 356 00:14:59,810 --> 00:14:58,199 just to not tell people anything just so 357 00:15:01,370 --> 00:14:59,820 by default you just don't don't tell 358 00:15:03,590 --> 00:15:01,380 them things you know you see things come 359 00:15:05,689 --> 00:15:03,600 out sometimes uh they will write a video 360 00:15:07,310 --> 00:15:05,699 out of something that's being shot down 361 00:15:09,230 --> 00:15:07,320 or something but you know they they have 362 00:15:11,870 --> 00:15:09,240 to weigh the pro and cons 363 00:15:14,449 --> 00:15:11,880 uh of of that but if there isn't a 364 00:15:16,490 --> 00:15:14,459 compelling reason they release videos 365 00:15:17,870 --> 00:15:16,500 for propaganda purposes essentially like 366 00:15:19,490 --> 00:15:17,880 saying you know this was a close 367 00:15:21,470 --> 00:15:19,500 encounter with a Chinese jet or 368 00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:21,480 something like that as a problem here's 369 00:15:26,329 --> 00:15:23,699 video of it they'll show you that but 370 00:15:28,189 --> 00:15:26,339 that goes through a thus being put but 371 00:15:30,829 --> 00:15:28,199 if there's no compelling room to do that 372 00:15:32,150 --> 00:15:30,839 they're not going to bother 373 00:15:34,730 --> 00:15:32,160 yeah 374 00:15:38,090 --> 00:15:34,740 well and uh if I could follow up on that 375 00:15:40,910 --> 00:15:38,100 we know from uh Declassified briefings 376 00:15:44,090 --> 00:15:40,920 in the intelligence community that the 377 00:15:46,910 --> 00:15:44,100 UFO Community is considered a national 378 00:15:49,490 --> 00:15:46,920 security threat along the Y the lines of 379 00:15:51,710 --> 00:15:49,500 white nationalists and other groups like 380 00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:51,720 that um so we know from a national 381 00:15:57,350 --> 00:15:54,360 security perspective that the government 382 00:16:00,230 --> 00:15:57,360 is seeking to discourage active 383 00:16:02,150 --> 00:16:00,240 consideration of these subjects um you 384 00:16:03,230 --> 00:16:02,160 know for obvious uh social reasons and 385 00:16:04,970 --> 00:16:03,240 things like that 386 00:16:06,470 --> 00:16:04,980 this is part of what got me interested 387 00:16:07,790 --> 00:16:06,480 in this originally as sort of like you 388 00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:07,800 know a mainstream person with no 389 00:16:14,030 --> 00:16:09,440 interest in the Paranormal or anything 390 00:16:15,470 --> 00:16:14,040 why were government uh people just 391 00:16:18,310 --> 00:16:15,480 starting to talk about this more and 392 00:16:20,810 --> 00:16:18,320 more it confused me knowing that the 393 00:16:22,009 --> 00:16:20,820 Declassified stuff was saying that the 394 00:16:23,509 --> 00:16:22,019 government should be discouraging this 395 00:16:25,129 --> 00:16:23,519 kind of thing when Obama came out it's 396 00:16:26,689 --> 00:16:25,139 like why would he be encouraging people 397 00:16:28,790 --> 00:16:26,699 to look at that well do you have any 398 00:16:32,030 --> 00:16:28,800 thoughts on that at all 399 00:16:34,910 --> 00:16:32,040 well uh yeah it's they're probably not 400 00:16:36,949 --> 00:16:34,920 classifying white nationalists and UFO 401 00:16:39,470 --> 00:16:36,959 um as exactly the same type of threat 402 00:16:41,389 --> 00:16:39,480 yeah white nationalists are our speaker 403 00:16:43,730 --> 00:16:41,399 because they they might be do terrorist 404 00:16:45,290 --> 00:16:43,740 acts and blow things up or you know stir 405 00:16:48,470 --> 00:16:45,300 descent and you know racial racial 406 00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:48,480 hatred and whatnot uh UFO people are a 407 00:16:53,329 --> 00:16:50,519 national security threat because they 408 00:16:55,550 --> 00:16:53,339 study the uh military very closely and 409 00:16:58,970 --> 00:16:55,560 they they do things like send drones up 410 00:17:00,769 --> 00:16:58,980 over here 51 and you know spy on 411 00:17:04,069 --> 00:17:00,779 essentially what's going in Area 51 412 00:17:05,150 --> 00:17:04,079 which is a secure site and they we try 413 00:17:07,429 --> 00:17:05,160 to do things 414 00:17:10,850 --> 00:17:07,439 uh stuff I've done with with analyzing 415 00:17:13,309 --> 00:17:10,860 say Gimbal and go Fest might give them 416 00:17:15,110 --> 00:17:13,319 people some concern uh because you could 417 00:17:19,370 --> 00:17:15,120 learn so much about the technical 418 00:17:20,530 --> 00:17:19,380 capabilities of of a system like that 419 00:17:22,189 --> 00:17:20,540 um but yeah 420 00:17:24,169 --> 00:17:22,199 they probably 421 00:17:26,949 --> 00:17:24,179 um dissuade that type of thing from 422 00:17:29,390 --> 00:17:26,959 happening where so but you know 423 00:17:31,250 --> 00:17:29,400 from the you know their own type thing 424 00:17:33,890 --> 00:17:31,260 they'll try and stop people fly drones 425 00:17:35,330 --> 00:17:33,900 over they'll perhaps you know somebody's 426 00:17:37,610 --> 00:17:35,340 house under stem if he does something 427 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:37,620 that goes or steps over the line like a 428 00:17:41,090 --> 00:17:39,840 guy in I believe in Las Vegas or 429 00:17:44,510 --> 00:17:41,100 wherever it wasn't so we're near area 430 00:17:46,010 --> 00:17:44,520 51. uh for uh from my point of view 431 00:17:47,570 --> 00:17:46,020 they're just not releasing videos 432 00:17:49,730 --> 00:17:47,580 because you know why would they release 433 00:17:53,930 --> 00:17:49,740 a video if if I might be able to glean 434 00:17:55,850 --> 00:17:53,940 some technical uh secret from it but I 435 00:17:57,110 --> 00:17:55,860 think you know on a broader uh Point 436 00:17:59,150 --> 00:17:57,120 like 437 00:18:00,770 --> 00:17:59,160 the the original kind of you know 438 00:18:03,409 --> 00:18:00,780 Project Blue Book or anything like that 439 00:18:04,430 --> 00:18:03,419 was kind of said it was a debunking uh 440 00:18:06,470 --> 00:18:04,440 effort 441 00:18:10,190 --> 00:18:06,480 but the reason they give they gave her 442 00:18:11,750 --> 00:18:10,200 that was was really just that they 443 00:18:15,409 --> 00:18:11,760 they thought there was too much public 444 00:18:17,870 --> 00:18:15,419 interest in UFOs and they said that that 445 00:18:20,090 --> 00:18:17,880 they were kind of overwhelming Channels 446 00:18:22,070 --> 00:18:20,100 with all these uh reports it created 447 00:18:25,130 --> 00:18:22,080 essentially these public panics 448 00:18:26,630 --> 00:18:25,140 uh UFO flaps where people started 449 00:18:27,890 --> 00:18:26,640 thinking there's loads of UFOs and so 450 00:18:29,090 --> 00:18:27,900 they started looking up in the sky all 451 00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:29,100 the time and they started reporting 452 00:18:34,370 --> 00:18:31,260 things and you know the the uh the 453 00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:34,380 airports and the police and uh the the 454 00:18:38,870 --> 00:18:36,720 um the air traffic controllers were 455 00:18:40,430 --> 00:18:38,880 being swapped with these reports and so 456 00:18:42,890 --> 00:18:40,440 they thought it would be a good idea to 457 00:18:44,210 --> 00:18:42,900 Tamp it down I don't know if that's how 458 00:18:47,090 --> 00:18:44,220 true that is or if there was other 459 00:18:50,390 --> 00:18:47,100 motive behind it but I'm not sure if 460 00:18:51,110 --> 00:18:50,400 that's excuses is valid now 461 00:18:53,029 --> 00:18:51,120 um 462 00:18:55,250 --> 00:18:53,039 there's there's probably 463 00:18:57,049 --> 00:18:55,260 better ways of dealing with these 464 00:18:58,669 --> 00:18:57,059 reports like you know because that we 465 00:19:00,950 --> 00:18:58,679 could they could just set up some like a 466 00:19:02,390 --> 00:19:00,960 you know if you see a UFO report it to 467 00:19:04,130 --> 00:19:02,400 this site then it's just kind of a 468 00:19:06,230 --> 00:19:04,140 essentially a 469 00:19:07,909 --> 00:19:06,240 I system that comes through it for 470 00:19:09,590 --> 00:19:07,919 interesting reports it might actually be 471 00:19:12,590 --> 00:19:09,600 a good thing so I don't think that's 472 00:19:14,870 --> 00:19:12,600 necessarily the same uh rationale that 473 00:19:21,529 --> 00:19:14,880 they have now as they did back in the 474 00:19:26,990 --> 00:19:24,830 well excellent I am I'm happy to jump in 475 00:19:30,650 --> 00:19:27,000 with one of the questions I got uh on 476 00:19:36,230 --> 00:19:34,310 um so this is from Merrick VR 477 00:19:38,690 --> 00:19:36,240 um who opens the letter very politely 478 00:19:40,070 --> 00:19:38,700 saying thank you in all sincerity for 479 00:19:42,409 --> 00:19:40,080 the hard work you put into your 3D 480 00:19:44,029 --> 00:19:42,419 simulations they're an invaluable tool 481 00:19:46,850 --> 00:19:44,039 for researchers 482 00:19:49,130 --> 00:19:46,860 regarding the go fast videos your own 3D 483 00:19:52,190 --> 00:19:49,140 simulation confirmed by independent 484 00:19:54,110 --> 00:19:52,200 calculations shows the UAP has intrinsic 485 00:19:56,690 --> 00:19:54,120 speed that it's moving about 100 knots 486 00:19:59,270 --> 00:19:56,700 much much faster than the wind how could 487 00:20:01,730 --> 00:19:59,280 it be a balloon and at 13 000 foot feet 488 00:20:03,830 --> 00:20:01,740 of altitude hundreds of miles off the 489 00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:03,840 coast of Florida in mid-January how 490 00:20:07,850 --> 00:20:05,700 could it be a bird 491 00:20:09,049 --> 00:20:07,860 yeah I don't think that's entirely 492 00:20:10,310 --> 00:20:09,059 accurate 493 00:20:12,890 --> 00:20:10,320 um you know I wrote this installation 494 00:20:15,770 --> 00:20:12,900 called sit back situation Recreation 495 00:20:17,750 --> 00:20:15,780 which uh lets you would you write it 496 00:20:20,029 --> 00:20:17,760 down just out of curiosity uh it's in 497 00:20:22,190 --> 00:20:20,039 JavaScript oh right on cool yeah which 498 00:20:24,710 --> 00:20:22,200 uh isn't the best language and I used to 499 00:20:26,930 --> 00:20:24,720 write everything in C plus plus uh but 500 00:20:29,029 --> 00:20:26,940 it's it's easy to get I wanted to uh 501 00:20:30,830 --> 00:20:29,039 some anyone could use 502 00:20:33,529 --> 00:20:30,840 and the best way of doing that is to 503 00:20:36,350 --> 00:20:33,539 make a a web application so I wrote it 504 00:20:38,630 --> 00:20:36,360 all in in JavaScript so as you can you 505 00:20:41,450 --> 00:20:38,640 can see it on the bunk is debunk.org sit 506 00:20:45,230 --> 00:20:41,460 rack and there's all different situation 507 00:20:48,289 --> 00:20:45,240 including Gimbal and go fast so ghost 508 00:20:51,529 --> 00:20:48,299 uh until fairly recently I didn't have 509 00:20:52,850 --> 00:20:51,539 wind as a parameter in in the simulation 510 00:20:54,529 --> 00:20:52,860 I mean probably because we didn't know 511 00:20:56,330 --> 00:20:54,539 what the wind was 512 00:20:58,370 --> 00:20:56,340 uh but 513 00:21:00,830 --> 00:20:58,380 I recently had wind and I could have 514 00:21:05,029 --> 00:21:00,840 added it to be like the same as the wind 515 00:21:07,490 --> 00:21:05,039 from the gimbal situation which was you 516 00:21:10,669 --> 00:21:07,500 know we remembered the gimbal audio they 517 00:21:14,750 --> 00:21:10,679 say the wind is 129 out of the West uh 518 00:21:16,130 --> 00:21:14,760 which which is historic in data so we 519 00:21:17,870 --> 00:21:16,140 kind of have a fairly good idea of what 520 00:21:19,669 --> 00:21:17,880 the wind was in Gimbal and we think that 521 00:21:21,710 --> 00:21:19,679 go fast was probably at about the same 522 00:21:23,630 --> 00:21:21,720 time of the same the same Mission it's 523 00:21:25,190 --> 00:21:23,640 probably the same plane so you can 524 00:21:26,330 --> 00:21:25,200 assume that's about the same thing so I 525 00:21:30,289 --> 00:21:26,340 added that 526 00:21:36,230 --> 00:21:30,299 uh and it became 527 00:21:41,090 --> 00:21:39,409 what the actual uh uh 528 00:21:44,090 --> 00:21:41,100 parameters were that you should actually 529 00:21:46,370 --> 00:21:44,100 use and the problem with I kind of 530 00:21:48,890 --> 00:21:46,380 stopped working on it rack and there's 531 00:21:52,549 --> 00:21:48,900 something I'm gonna revisit 532 00:21:54,830 --> 00:21:52,559 I don't think that's uh sure results we 533 00:21:56,750 --> 00:21:54,840 had on the uh for the wind simulation 534 00:22:00,230 --> 00:21:56,760 are actually entirely accurate because 535 00:22:02,870 --> 00:22:00,240 we only did it for like a few days I 536 00:22:04,970 --> 00:22:02,880 didn't really delve into it greatly and 537 00:22:06,710 --> 00:22:04,980 so it's something to look into in the 538 00:22:08,450 --> 00:22:06,720 future because I I don't recently 539 00:22:09,950 --> 00:22:08,460 accurate I think there's a wide range of 540 00:22:14,210 --> 00:22:09,960 possibilities 541 00:22:16,909 --> 00:22:14,220 I have big disclaimer on my onset rack 542 00:22:19,490 --> 00:22:16,919 that says uh working progress 543 00:22:22,070 --> 00:22:19,500 uh and it's 544 00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:22,080 I've never made videos kind of 545 00:22:25,850 --> 00:22:24,419 explaining any of the videos with sit 546 00:22:27,289 --> 00:22:25,860 right because it's always been to work 547 00:22:29,510 --> 00:22:27,299 in progress It's something that I've 548 00:22:32,149 --> 00:22:29,520 validated all of the math and all of 549 00:22:35,990 --> 00:22:32,159 behind it so I never made any claims 550 00:22:38,270 --> 00:22:36,000 myself uh about what something must be 551 00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:38,280 you know sit wreck those various 552 00:22:43,370 --> 00:22:40,020 different paths as these various 553 00:22:45,409 --> 00:22:43,380 different possibilities I I haven't done 554 00:22:47,810 --> 00:22:45,419 like a fire video or anything like that 555 00:22:49,850 --> 00:22:47,820 about uh about Gimbal and its possible 556 00:22:53,330 --> 00:22:49,860 trajectories simply because everybody 557 00:22:56,210 --> 00:22:53,340 considerable to be finished and so for 558 00:22:57,770 --> 00:22:56,220 someone else like Marek uh to say that 559 00:22:59,930 --> 00:22:57,780 you know tool is finished and it shows 560 00:23:02,149 --> 00:22:59,940 this and so it's possible I don't think 561 00:23:05,810 --> 00:23:02,159 he's accurate I think more there needs 562 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:05,820 to be there and if if it does turn out 563 00:23:10,730 --> 00:23:08,400 that it's moving faster than the wind 564 00:23:12,830 --> 00:23:10,740 then that would be very interesting it's 565 00:23:14,510 --> 00:23:12,840 not moving particularly fast 566 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:14,520 they're still only moving like I believe 567 00:23:18,890 --> 00:23:17,280 like lots of the most but there's a wide 568 00:23:21,529 --> 00:23:18,900 range of possibilities and we don't know 569 00:23:25,130 --> 00:23:21,539 which one is the actual 570 00:23:29,810 --> 00:23:27,770 great thank you 571 00:23:32,510 --> 00:23:29,820 if we don't have another question lined 572 00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:32,520 up I have one and um it's kind of a 573 00:23:37,610 --> 00:23:34,260 theme that we we touched on with a lot 574 00:23:38,990 --> 00:23:37,620 of guests and um kind of affect 575 00:23:41,090 --> 00:23:39,000 maintaining effective communication 576 00:23:42,289 --> 00:23:41,100 something that you talk about a lot when 577 00:23:44,029 --> 00:23:42,299 dealing with 578 00:23:46,370 --> 00:23:44,039 um people who believe in conspiracy 579 00:23:49,310 --> 00:23:46,380 theories and I was wondering if you 580 00:23:51,110 --> 00:23:49,320 thought that um 581 00:23:53,510 --> 00:23:51,120 platform like online platforms like 582 00:23:55,909 --> 00:23:53,520 Twitter and stuff are capable of 583 00:23:57,289 --> 00:23:55,919 accommodating uh doing something like 584 00:23:59,570 --> 00:23:57,299 maintaining effective communication 585 00:24:01,370 --> 00:23:59,580 especially given that um 586 00:24:03,070 --> 00:24:01,380 Twitter kind of favors the short form 587 00:24:06,770 --> 00:24:03,080 and there's kind of a control 588 00:24:08,630 --> 00:24:06,780 adversarial culture on there 589 00:24:09,890 --> 00:24:08,640 and a follow-up question to that is do 590 00:24:13,250 --> 00:24:09,900 you have any 591 00:24:14,870 --> 00:24:13,260 advice for Skeptics who are trying to 592 00:24:15,770 --> 00:24:14,880 not just preach to the choir but 593 00:24:17,390 --> 00:24:15,780 actually 594 00:24:20,270 --> 00:24:17,400 um my connections and communicate 595 00:24:21,950 --> 00:24:20,280 effectively across the Divide as someone 596 00:24:25,310 --> 00:24:21,960 would like to call it 597 00:24:28,310 --> 00:24:25,320 well I think Twitter is uh is 598 00:24:31,789 --> 00:24:28,320 um is a useful communication medium but 599 00:24:33,529 --> 00:24:31,799 it obviously has very big limitations 600 00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:33,539 if you're having a conversation with 601 00:24:37,490 --> 00:24:35,400 someone in Mortar like we're talking 602 00:24:40,370 --> 00:24:37,500 like now we can very quickly go back and 603 00:24:42,350 --> 00:24:40,380 forth uh on on the topic and we can 604 00:24:43,850 --> 00:24:42,360 resolve things very quickly because we 605 00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:43,860 can we can talk about it you know 606 00:24:48,350 --> 00:24:45,480 sometimes we're having an argument with 607 00:24:50,630 --> 00:24:48,360 someone on Twitter I I try to take it 608 00:24:52,490 --> 00:24:50,640 offline you have to talk to them face to 609 00:24:55,250 --> 00:24:52,500 face earlier when I call with them just 610 00:24:56,690 --> 00:24:55,260 because it's so much simpler uh Twitter 611 00:24:58,310 --> 00:24:56,700 also 612 00:25:00,770 --> 00:24:58,320 you know essentially sending text 613 00:25:03,529 --> 00:25:00,780 messages and 614 00:25:06,289 --> 00:25:03,539 you you try to squeeze things into this 615 00:25:08,930 --> 00:25:06,299 shorter format and you often 616 00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:08,940 you don't get the nuances of what you're 617 00:25:13,010 --> 00:25:10,140 trying to say 618 00:25:16,070 --> 00:25:13,020 and so I will very very frequently say 619 00:25:17,450 --> 00:25:16,080 things on Twitter and then somebody take 620 00:25:20,029 --> 00:25:17,460 it the wrong way 621 00:25:22,490 --> 00:25:20,039 and they'll if I say you know I think 622 00:25:23,930 --> 00:25:22,500 yeah this particular UFO is a bird or 623 00:25:26,330 --> 00:25:23,940 something like that and they say oh well 624 00:25:29,390 --> 00:25:26,340 you the like birds can get from like a 625 00:25:31,450 --> 00:25:29,400 thousand feet to 50 feet and 0.78 626 00:25:34,850 --> 00:25:31,460 seconds yeah and 627 00:25:36,470 --> 00:25:34,860 I'm saying that all you have subverts or 628 00:25:41,390 --> 00:25:36,480 you know the 629 00:25:43,970 --> 00:25:41,400 it's it's it's very easy to um kind of 630 00:25:46,669 --> 00:25:43,980 say the wrong thing I guess and so I've 631 00:25:48,110 --> 00:25:46,679 kind of started to try to say the right 632 00:25:50,029 --> 00:25:48,120 thing a little more and I've kind of I 633 00:25:51,169 --> 00:25:50,039 guess evolved a bit you know when you're 634 00:25:53,570 --> 00:25:51,179 just chatting 635 00:25:56,810 --> 00:25:53,580 it's not like your default position is 636 00:25:58,909 --> 00:25:56,820 is that you're chatting to a friend now 637 00:26:02,450 --> 00:25:58,919 and when you're chatting to a friend or 638 00:26:03,250 --> 00:26:02,460 you know people who are have can share 639 00:26:07,070 --> 00:26:03,260 um 640 00:26:09,830 --> 00:26:07,080 uh beliefs and experiences you know you 641 00:26:12,049 --> 00:26:09,840 assume that what you say will be 642 00:26:13,730 --> 00:26:12,059 understood you have this kind of mental 643 00:26:15,230 --> 00:26:13,740 model of everything and you're referring 644 00:26:17,390 --> 00:26:15,240 to that and you assume that they have a 645 00:26:19,850 --> 00:26:17,400 mental model kind of matches that yeah 646 00:26:22,789 --> 00:26:19,860 but on Twitter their mental models can 647 00:26:25,130 --> 00:26:22,799 be vastly vastly different to yours it's 648 00:26:27,289 --> 00:26:25,140 so different you know I say things on 649 00:26:29,450 --> 00:26:27,299 Twitter and people take it to be like 650 00:26:33,169 --> 00:26:29,460 always like whoa completely different 651 00:26:34,850 --> 00:26:33,179 what I actually meant uh and it's it's 652 00:26:38,450 --> 00:26:34,860 something that I've learned over time 653 00:26:40,789 --> 00:26:38,460 you have to be very cautious about the 654 00:26:44,090 --> 00:26:40,799 way your phrase especially if it's a 655 00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:44,100 contentious and emotional subject like 656 00:26:50,090 --> 00:26:47,520 UFOs uh so I've I started adding 657 00:26:51,769 --> 00:26:50,100 disclaimers all the time you know adding 658 00:26:54,470 --> 00:26:51,779 setting things like yeah it doesn't 659 00:26:57,110 --> 00:26:54,480 apply to everything or then I add like 660 00:26:58,730 --> 00:26:57,120 oh but also might be aliens and then I 661 00:27:00,169 --> 00:26:58,740 thought well maybe I shouldn't say that 662 00:27:01,730 --> 00:27:00,179 because now they're going to think I'm 663 00:27:02,990 --> 00:27:01,740 joking because I'm saying might be 664 00:27:05,990 --> 00:27:03,000 aliens 665 00:27:07,850 --> 00:27:06,000 and then you use what should I put human 666 00:27:09,470 --> 00:27:07,860 intelligence and say why are you just 667 00:27:12,110 --> 00:27:09,480 get to that one thing when it could be 668 00:27:13,490 --> 00:27:12,120 the five other things as well 669 00:27:16,430 --> 00:27:13,500 um you know at some point you're trying 670 00:27:18,470 --> 00:27:16,440 to strike a balance between 671 00:27:20,330 --> 00:27:18,480 um efficiency of communication and 672 00:27:24,529 --> 00:27:20,340 effectiveness of communication 673 00:27:27,049 --> 00:27:24,539 and I think uh yeah I I haven't done 674 00:27:28,310 --> 00:27:27,059 that yet I still I still mess up all the 675 00:27:30,710 --> 00:27:28,320 time I've still said things on Twitter 676 00:27:33,169 --> 00:27:30,720 and I will like you know get angry at me 677 00:27:35,690 --> 00:27:33,179 and I say things on TV I was just TV the 678 00:27:38,029 --> 00:27:35,700 other day and I I uh after the report 679 00:27:41,750 --> 00:27:38,039 came out I was like local Chicago TV 680 00:27:46,630 --> 00:27:41,760 station and I said something like 681 00:27:48,890 --> 00:27:46,640 um if if a pilot sees a a rain barrel 682 00:27:50,510 --> 00:27:48,900 messing up their training range then 683 00:27:51,850 --> 00:27:50,520 basically have to return to base and 684 00:27:54,529 --> 00:27:51,860 file a report 685 00:27:56,870 --> 00:27:54,539 and yeah that because I kind of 686 00:27:58,250 --> 00:27:56,880 remembered hearing that somewhere but it 687 00:27:59,690 --> 00:27:58,260 turned out like you know they don't 688 00:28:01,669 --> 00:27:59,700 always have to return to base it's just 689 00:28:03,710 --> 00:28:01,679 that they may have to replace 690 00:28:05,870 --> 00:28:03,720 but people are like oh Mick West how 691 00:28:08,149 --> 00:28:05,880 dare you like talk a Navy procedure as 692 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:08,159 if you know you're talking about when I 693 00:28:10,669 --> 00:28:09,120 was just talking about anything I 694 00:28:12,710 --> 00:28:10,679 remembered but 695 00:28:16,370 --> 00:28:12,720 it's like you get one little slip up on 696 00:28:18,529 --> 00:28:16,380 people pounce on you it's it's uh you 697 00:28:20,450 --> 00:28:18,539 seem to be produced a bit more than uh 698 00:28:22,730 --> 00:28:20,460 your average UFO Twitter user though to 699 00:28:27,769 --> 00:28:22,740 be fair but yeah you're right 700 00:28:29,690 --> 00:28:27,779 yeah it's uh it I tweet a lot so I guess 701 00:28:31,610 --> 00:28:29,700 like I'm going to make a lot more 702 00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:31,620 mistakes in most people on Twitter don't 703 00:28:34,730 --> 00:28:32,640 even tweet 704 00:28:36,409 --> 00:28:34,740 uh but then the question was like you 705 00:28:39,409 --> 00:28:36,419 know what advice do you have for for 706 00:28:41,570 --> 00:28:39,419 specs in terms of like communicating 707 00:28:43,130 --> 00:28:41,580 yeah I wrote a book about 708 00:28:44,690 --> 00:28:43,140 education which I have a copy of so 709 00:28:46,370 --> 00:28:44,700 you're up in the rap battle but that's 710 00:28:49,850 --> 00:28:46,380 about how to speak to conspiracy 711 00:28:52,789 --> 00:28:49,860 theories similar things apply 712 00:28:55,190 --> 00:28:52,799 um and the key thing is establishing 713 00:28:58,070 --> 00:28:55,200 effective communication 714 00:29:01,730 --> 00:28:58,080 and I think you know too many people who 715 00:29:04,210 --> 00:29:01,740 are skeptic go in with essentially fact 716 00:29:08,810 --> 00:29:04,220 checking philosophy 717 00:29:11,210 --> 00:29:08,820 and a mistake finding philosophy they 718 00:29:13,130 --> 00:29:11,220 want to go in there and they'll stay you 719 00:29:15,169 --> 00:29:13,140 know this person got something wrong I'm 720 00:29:17,149 --> 00:29:15,179 gonna find all the things that they got 721 00:29:19,010 --> 00:29:17,159 I'm gonna Point them all out 722 00:29:21,590 --> 00:29:19,020 or you know that's wrong so I'm just 723 00:29:24,889 --> 00:29:21,600 gonna like list reason why it's wrong 724 00:29:26,990 --> 00:29:24,899 but you know not really super effective 725 00:29:29,690 --> 00:29:27,000 most of the time people who are 726 00:29:31,549 --> 00:29:29,700 believers in one thing or you know a 727 00:29:34,669 --> 00:29:31,559 strong opinion about the way things are 728 00:29:36,169 --> 00:29:34,679 I'm going to be swayed by just with 729 00:29:39,130 --> 00:29:36,179 aggressive fact checking or even just 730 00:29:41,690 --> 00:29:39,140 fairly packing you've got to actually 731 00:29:44,389 --> 00:29:41,700 establish communication with them and 732 00:29:45,830 --> 00:29:44,399 understand where they're coming from and 733 00:29:48,529 --> 00:29:45,840 get them to understand where you're 734 00:29:52,610 --> 00:29:48,539 coming from and to be able to actually 735 00:29:54,649 --> 00:29:52,620 have a conversation to which you can uh 736 00:29:57,470 --> 00:29:54,659 these these facts 737 00:30:00,409 --> 00:29:57,480 uh so Twitter isn't always the best way 738 00:30:01,130 --> 00:30:00,419 of doing it but again you can do it on 739 00:30:02,870 --> 00:30:01,140 Twitter 740 00:30:06,110 --> 00:30:02,880 it's better to do it on other platforms 741 00:30:08,149 --> 00:30:06,120 it's really to do it uh somewhere you 742 00:30:11,090 --> 00:30:08,159 can talk long form it's best to actually 743 00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:11,100 real conversations with people 744 00:30:15,470 --> 00:30:12,120 thanks 745 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:18,110 hopefully our goal 746 00:30:22,669 --> 00:30:20,570 started the real objective was to 747 00:30:25,549 --> 00:30:22,679 through example demonstrate what good 748 00:30:28,850 --> 00:30:25,559 faith conversation looks like in and 749 00:30:30,889 --> 00:30:28,860 around the subject and well I believe 750 00:30:33,409 --> 00:30:30,899 that we are generally kind of maligned 751 00:30:35,450 --> 00:30:33,419 as being super skeptical 752 00:30:37,430 --> 00:30:35,460 um you know I always want to take the 753 00:30:39,470 --> 00:30:37,440 opportunity to reiterate to the audience 754 00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:39,480 and people listening that we're very 755 00:30:44,330 --> 00:30:42,480 open a conversation and and discourse 756 00:30:45,950 --> 00:30:44,340 with virtually anyone in and around this 757 00:30:48,049 --> 00:30:45,960 subject 758 00:30:49,850 --> 00:30:48,059 um so I I've gotten a number of 759 00:30:52,610 --> 00:30:49,860 questions both on back Channel and then 760 00:30:54,409 --> 00:30:52,620 in the chat this evening and I want to 761 00:30:56,690 --> 00:30:54,419 preface what I'm going to ask by also 762 00:30:57,950 --> 00:30:56,700 making a brief editorial comment which 763 00:31:00,470 --> 00:30:57,960 is that 764 00:31:02,870 --> 00:31:00,480 um I know buckle up sorry Nick yeah you 765 00:31:06,169 --> 00:31:02,880 can mute me to Nick if you want 766 00:31:08,510 --> 00:31:06,179 um so ufology as a field and as a 767 00:31:11,090 --> 00:31:08,520 community is fundamentally anti or 768 00:31:13,610 --> 00:31:11,100 non-credentialed it has no curriculum it 769 00:31:15,230 --> 00:31:13,620 has no Associated institutions its 770 00:31:18,169 --> 00:31:15,240 contents are highly interdisciplinary 771 00:31:19,250 --> 00:31:18,179 and lay researchers are generally lauded 772 00:31:21,230 --> 00:31:19,260 and celebrated 773 00:31:24,110 --> 00:31:21,240 it's being you know substantial and 774 00:31:25,669 --> 00:31:24,120 important contributors to this subject 775 00:31:27,830 --> 00:31:25,679 um and I say that to preface the next 776 00:31:29,810 --> 00:31:27,840 question which is can you give us a 777 00:31:32,149 --> 00:31:29,820 little bit of background on your own 778 00:31:35,269 --> 00:31:32,159 education and areas of expertise either 779 00:31:38,149 --> 00:31:35,279 formally or just informally yeah that's 780 00:31:39,470 --> 00:31:38,159 kind of funny uh we're not funny but you 781 00:31:40,970 --> 00:31:39,480 know obviously 782 00:31:44,330 --> 00:31:40,980 one of the reasons I get attacked on 783 00:31:46,789 --> 00:31:44,340 Twitter is that uh you know I'm not a 784 00:31:48,710 --> 00:31:46,799 scientist with phds and things like that 785 00:31:51,350 --> 00:31:48,720 so I criticize someone like Travis 786 00:31:53,389 --> 00:31:51,360 Taylor uh for some you know ridiculous 787 00:31:55,610 --> 00:31:53,399 claim makes on skinwalk 788 00:31:58,250 --> 00:31:55,620 then people will say well Travis Taylor 789 00:32:00,350 --> 00:31:58,260 has two phds and you don't have any 790 00:32:02,330 --> 00:32:00,360 so he'll be right 791 00:32:06,710 --> 00:32:02,340 which you know is obviously fallacious 792 00:32:10,970 --> 00:32:06,720 but uh but you know my background is uh 793 00:32:12,529 --> 00:32:10,980 I'm like 55 years old I have a degree in 794 00:32:15,350 --> 00:32:12,539 computer science 795 00:32:16,310 --> 00:32:15,360 from the University of Manchester in 796 00:32:19,070 --> 00:32:16,320 England 797 00:32:20,510 --> 00:32:19,080 and that was back when they they didn't 798 00:32:23,930 --> 00:32:20,520 even call it computer science they 799 00:32:25,850 --> 00:32:23,940 called it computation which uh was was 800 00:32:27,830 --> 00:32:25,860 kind of a bit outdated back then were 801 00:32:30,110 --> 00:32:27,840 using like punch cards and writing in 802 00:32:32,810 --> 00:32:30,120 portrait and Cobalt one of the one of 803 00:32:34,490 --> 00:32:32,820 the universities I went to to you try 804 00:32:36,529 --> 00:32:34,500 out the universe is before you go to 805 00:32:38,330 --> 00:32:36,539 them actually did actually still use 806 00:32:39,889 --> 00:32:38,340 Punch Cards in one of their courses I 807 00:32:43,250 --> 00:32:39,899 think they dropped it the next Alberta 808 00:32:45,169 --> 00:32:43,260 it was kind of on the the verge of um in 809 00:32:47,210 --> 00:32:45,179 the modern era of computation that's 810 00:32:49,490 --> 00:32:47,220 cool uh just moving up from these very 811 00:32:52,330 --> 00:32:49,500 very simplistic you know little more 812 00:32:54,950 --> 00:32:52,340 than uh hyper-powered pocket calculator 813 00:32:56,990 --> 00:32:54,960 computers that fill the room into actual 814 00:32:59,330 --> 00:32:57,000 real computers with sophisticated code 815 00:33:01,250 --> 00:32:59,340 but yeah so I went to University I got 816 00:33:04,970 --> 00:33:01,260 degree in computer science and then I 817 00:33:07,250 --> 00:33:04,980 got a job uh programming video games uh 818 00:33:10,370 --> 00:33:07,260 pretty much they are a college and did 819 00:33:14,930 --> 00:33:10,380 that for those in UK and then I I moved 820 00:33:17,990 --> 00:33:14,940 to America at California a job over here 821 00:33:19,730 --> 00:33:18,000 uh mostly because they pay more money in 822 00:33:21,049 --> 00:33:19,740 California and also it sounded like a 823 00:33:23,509 --> 00:33:21,059 lot of fun to come over to California 824 00:33:25,669 --> 00:33:23,519 from the UK which to weather 825 00:33:27,710 --> 00:33:25,679 uh and I had a good time over in 826 00:33:30,889 --> 00:33:27,720 California I started a company called 827 00:33:33,590 --> 00:33:30,899 soft and we did a video game called Tony 828 00:33:37,330 --> 00:33:33,600 Hawk's Pro Skater oh yeah I think I've 829 00:33:42,070 --> 00:33:37,340 heard of that yeah it was very popular 830 00:33:46,490 --> 00:33:42,080 skateboard over on my my desk on myself 831 00:33:48,529 --> 00:33:46,500 uh and uh kind of like semi-retired 832 00:33:50,090 --> 00:33:48,539 early young and just started doing 833 00:33:51,950 --> 00:33:50,100 basically writing and a bit of 834 00:33:53,630 --> 00:33:51,960 Consulting work for a number of years 835 00:33:56,269 --> 00:33:53,640 and then you kind of transitioned over 836 00:33:57,230 --> 00:33:56,279 to just writing and doing stuff on the 837 00:33:58,909 --> 00:33:57,240 internet 838 00:34:01,549 --> 00:33:58,919 now basically I just wanted to do stuff 839 00:34:03,649 --> 00:34:01,559 that I found personally interesting so 840 00:34:05,630 --> 00:34:03,659 my background in video game kind of 841 00:34:07,610 --> 00:34:05,640 interesting you know it sounds kind of 842 00:34:10,070 --> 00:34:07,620 silly you know you're a video game 843 00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:10,080 program or a video game designer both 844 00:34:13,990 --> 00:34:11,159 things are true 845 00:34:17,329 --> 00:34:14,000 but it gave me a lot of expertise 846 00:34:20,030 --> 00:34:17,339 in uh what's referred to as linear 847 00:34:22,190 --> 00:34:20,040 linear algebra or more simply just 848 00:34:24,230 --> 00:34:22,200 three-dimensional coordinate geometry 849 00:34:25,970 --> 00:34:24,240 which is basically the math that's being 850 00:34:27,829 --> 00:34:25,980 used and things move around in 851 00:34:29,930 --> 00:34:27,839 three-dimensional space and that's used 852 00:34:33,349 --> 00:34:29,940 to construct three-dimensional objects 853 00:34:37,430 --> 00:34:33,359 Green Space so it's it's a bunch of math 854 00:34:39,889 --> 00:34:37,440 that's very very useful for uh making 855 00:34:42,589 --> 00:34:39,899 simulations but also for analyzing 856 00:34:44,750 --> 00:34:42,599 situations with the phone so if you've 857 00:34:46,369 --> 00:34:44,760 got a like a picture or a video and you 858 00:34:48,409 --> 00:34:46,379 kind of know where the camera is and you 859 00:34:51,109 --> 00:34:48,419 know where it's looking and you know how 860 00:34:53,089 --> 00:34:51,119 wide its field of view is uh then you 861 00:34:56,570 --> 00:34:53,099 can do some calculations you know simple 862 00:34:59,930 --> 00:34:56,580 calculations about speed and size and uh 863 00:35:01,250 --> 00:34:59,940 and uh at the trajectory yeah it's like 864 00:35:03,410 --> 00:35:01,260 a physics engine 865 00:35:05,630 --> 00:35:03,420 yeah essentially it's like it's using 866 00:35:08,150 --> 00:35:05,640 physics engine kind of in Reverse in a 867 00:35:10,849 --> 00:35:08,160 way a physics engine normally is to 868 00:35:13,190 --> 00:35:10,859 produce a result but I'm taking the end 869 00:35:17,210 --> 00:35:13,200 result what you see on green and 870 00:35:19,370 --> 00:35:17,220 figuring out uh what the possible if 871 00:35:21,410 --> 00:35:19,380 possible puts were 872 00:35:22,790 --> 00:35:21,420 yeah because you you've only got a 873 00:35:25,010 --> 00:35:22,800 two-dimensional thing when you've got a 874 00:35:27,470 --> 00:35:25,020 picture or a video so you you don't have 875 00:35:30,170 --> 00:35:27,480 all the information so you've got to 876 00:35:32,329 --> 00:35:30,180 construct like if you have a picture of 877 00:35:35,750 --> 00:35:32,339 an object like say this Tic Tac here 878 00:35:37,490 --> 00:35:35,760 uh and you know it's if you know how big 879 00:35:39,290 --> 00:35:37,500 it is you don't know how far away it is 880 00:35:41,210 --> 00:35:39,300 when something gets closer to the camera 881 00:35:42,770 --> 00:35:41,220 it gets bigger when it gets further away 882 00:35:45,290 --> 00:35:42,780 it gets smaller and a very simple 883 00:35:47,510 --> 00:35:45,300 mathematical relationship it's your 884 00:35:49,310 --> 00:35:47,520 device by the 885 00:35:51,170 --> 00:35:49,320 uh but if you don't know how big it is 886 00:35:53,329 --> 00:35:51,180 you can't calculate how far away it is 887 00:35:55,609 --> 00:35:53,339 but if you know some other things about 888 00:35:57,829 --> 00:35:55,619 it then you might be able to figure it 889 00:36:00,410 --> 00:35:57,839 out uh and so that's the type of thing 890 00:36:03,109 --> 00:36:00,420 that they do in my software tools and a 891 00:36:06,290 --> 00:36:03,119 lot of the analysis to do of videos will 892 00:36:09,349 --> 00:36:06,300 involve kind of of a trigonometry 893 00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:12,170 cool thank you 894 00:36:17,870 --> 00:36:14,880 if I could uh just jump in quickly and 895 00:36:21,670 --> 00:36:17,880 ask a follow-up to that uh Mick in terms 896 00:36:24,050 --> 00:36:21,680 of your history I was very interested by 897 00:36:25,730 --> 00:36:24,060 reading or maybe it's on interview with 898 00:36:28,730 --> 00:36:25,740 you where you talked about how you uh 899 00:36:32,329 --> 00:36:28,740 grew up as a Catholic is that correct 900 00:36:34,609 --> 00:36:32,339 yeah yeah I grew up in in Bingley my 901 00:36:38,510 --> 00:36:34,619 mother was a Catholic my father was kind 902 00:36:41,030 --> 00:36:38,520 of agnostic or I guess apathetic about 903 00:36:43,430 --> 00:36:41,040 religion my mother's family was Catholic 904 00:36:45,890 --> 00:36:43,440 and he went went to church I went to 905 00:36:48,890 --> 00:36:45,900 confession and you know believed in God 906 00:36:51,609 --> 00:36:48,900 and I believed in the power of prayer uh 907 00:36:53,630 --> 00:36:51,619 and then I guess when I was about like 908 00:36:57,170 --> 00:36:53,640 15-ish I think 909 00:36:59,210 --> 00:36:57,180 I just you know stops bullying uh yeah 910 00:37:01,849 --> 00:36:59,220 it was one of those things is processed 911 00:37:03,290 --> 00:37:01,859 you start to think like well is there 912 00:37:05,690 --> 00:37:03,300 really a garden there what evidence is 913 00:37:07,250 --> 00:37:05,700 there of God and then you know maybe it 914 00:37:09,470 --> 00:37:07,260 doesn't and then I actually went to 915 00:37:11,329 --> 00:37:09,480 confession and I told the the priest 916 00:37:13,970 --> 00:37:11,339 that I was having these these concerns 917 00:37:15,890 --> 00:37:13,980 and he should just look around at The 918 00:37:18,230 --> 00:37:15,900 Wonder of God's creation and that should 919 00:37:20,930 --> 00:37:18,240 satisfy me but you know I didn't didn't 920 00:37:23,690 --> 00:37:20,940 seem like enough evidence to me and you 921 00:37:26,089 --> 00:37:23,700 know I stopped and I think you know that 922 00:37:28,970 --> 00:37:26,099 may have had an effect me you know is 923 00:37:31,490 --> 00:37:28,980 that I was told that something was true 924 00:37:35,150 --> 00:37:31,500 and ever believed it 925 00:37:36,770 --> 00:37:35,160 uh people and my motherboard the priests 926 00:37:39,230 --> 00:37:36,780 and the teachers and then lots of my 927 00:37:41,210 --> 00:37:39,240 friends believed it but I stopped 928 00:37:44,150 --> 00:37:41,220 believing it because there wasn't good 929 00:37:46,550 --> 00:37:44,160 evidence to back it up and and I think 930 00:37:48,650 --> 00:37:46,560 that in a way it kind of perhaps gave me 931 00:37:52,550 --> 00:37:48,660 the confidence to challenge other 932 00:37:55,069 --> 00:37:52,560 beliefs later uh and you know Point 933 00:37:56,210 --> 00:37:55,079 things out that other one might Point 934 00:37:59,770 --> 00:37:56,220 things out 935 00:38:06,050 --> 00:37:59,780 but yes born Catholic yes baptized 936 00:38:11,930 --> 00:38:10,250 cool thank you have you ever had 937 00:38:13,970 --> 00:38:11,940 um this is maybe digging a little bit 938 00:38:15,530 --> 00:38:13,980 further into some metaphysics but have 939 00:38:18,349 --> 00:38:15,540 you ever had either deliberately or 940 00:38:20,930 --> 00:38:18,359 spontaneously like any kind of expansive 941 00:38:22,609 --> 00:38:20,940 or Consciousness altering experience and 942 00:38:27,650 --> 00:38:22,619 and I asked this because I'm curious 943 00:38:31,030 --> 00:38:27,660 about how if or did it affect 944 00:38:34,609 --> 00:38:31,040 um you or your world view 945 00:38:37,069 --> 00:38:34,619 not really I mean thinking about this 946 00:38:38,810 --> 00:38:37,079 before I came on the show because I you 947 00:38:40,190 --> 00:38:38,820 know I heard of some I listened to this 948 00:38:42,069 --> 00:38:40,200 episode and you talked a little bit 949 00:38:46,630 --> 00:38:42,079 about uh 950 00:38:53,450 --> 00:38:51,890 like mind-altering drugs on THC uh and 951 00:38:58,190 --> 00:38:53,460 alcohol 952 00:39:00,230 --> 00:38:58,200 and uh and so no I would say but you 953 00:39:02,270 --> 00:39:00,240 know I I guess you get familiar with 954 00:39:03,589 --> 00:39:02,280 altered mental States because you know 955 00:39:06,710 --> 00:39:03,599 there's one altered mental state that 956 00:39:08,089 --> 00:39:06,720 everyone has which is falling asleep and 957 00:39:11,089 --> 00:39:08,099 having dreams 958 00:39:12,890 --> 00:39:11,099 uh and I used to have I guess something 959 00:39:16,730 --> 00:39:12,900 the closest thing I would have if the 960 00:39:18,230 --> 00:39:16,740 the hypnagogic uh hallucinations which 961 00:39:20,930 --> 00:39:18,240 is where you're falling asleep or when 962 00:39:23,150 --> 00:39:20,940 you're waking up to the world for it I 963 00:39:26,210 --> 00:39:23,160 can't remember which one is which uh you 964 00:39:28,310 --> 00:39:26,220 see it's kind of a bit like paralysis 965 00:39:31,430 --> 00:39:28,320 but if you're not necessarily paralyzed 966 00:39:32,450 --> 00:39:31,440 so you wake up and you see something or 967 00:39:34,490 --> 00:39:32,460 you're falling you're just dropping off 968 00:39:36,710 --> 00:39:34,500 to sleep and all of a sudden you see an 969 00:39:38,089 --> 00:39:36,720 spider descending from the ceiling which 970 00:39:39,589 --> 00:39:38,099 is the most common thing I saw I will 971 00:39:42,290 --> 00:39:39,599 sometimes see monsters and things like 972 00:39:43,970 --> 00:39:42,300 that but mostly with giant spiders and 973 00:39:47,930 --> 00:39:43,980 it's very very real 974 00:39:50,390 --> 00:39:47,940 so you know I I I recognize there are 975 00:39:53,150 --> 00:39:50,400 altered men states that are quite 976 00:39:55,609 --> 00:39:53,160 possible for people to have where 977 00:39:57,349 --> 00:39:55,619 reality changes your perception of 978 00:39:59,510 --> 00:39:57,359 reality changes and it seems just as 979 00:40:01,609 --> 00:39:59,520 real as 980 00:40:03,770 --> 00:40:01,619 um as actual reality the objective 981 00:40:05,630 --> 00:40:03,780 what's it but you know you you know from 982 00:40:07,069 --> 00:40:05,640 later checking that there isn't actually 983 00:40:09,410 --> 00:40:07,079 any giant spiders in the room so 984 00:40:11,210 --> 00:40:09,420 objectively the nothing was going on 985 00:40:14,089 --> 00:40:11,220 there so I think that's kind of a useful 986 00:40:15,829 --> 00:40:14,099 perspective to to have had experienced 987 00:40:17,630 --> 00:40:15,839 you know some kind of hallucination at 988 00:40:21,230 --> 00:40:17,640 least knowing that you know other people 989 00:40:24,290 --> 00:40:21,240 could also have similar hello streams uh 990 00:40:27,430 --> 00:40:24,300 and again I have to append a disclaimer 991 00:40:29,569 --> 00:40:27,440 to that I'm not doing that all 992 00:40:31,250 --> 00:40:29,579 experiences that everybody's had is the 993 00:40:32,930 --> 00:40:31,260 hallucination it's the type of thing 994 00:40:34,609 --> 00:40:32,940 that gets me into trouble mention 995 00:40:37,609 --> 00:40:34,619 something like like that they say well 996 00:40:40,370 --> 00:40:37,619 you think anything is that no obviously 997 00:40:43,490 --> 00:40:40,380 this happens to some people some people 998 00:40:45,890 --> 00:40:43,500 have had experiences which were 999 00:40:47,210 --> 00:40:45,900 hallucinations I think no one can agree 1000 00:40:48,890 --> 00:40:47,220 that that's no one can disagree with 1001 00:40:51,050 --> 00:40:48,900 that that has actually happened at least 1002 00:40:52,190 --> 00:40:51,060 once or twice yeah amongst all these 1003 00:40:55,550 --> 00:40:52,200 things it doesn't mean they were all 1004 00:40:57,109 --> 00:40:55,560 hallucinations of course but some of 1005 00:40:59,150 --> 00:40:57,119 them definitely were 1006 00:41:01,790 --> 00:40:59,160 yeah there's some there's definitely 1007 00:41:03,829 --> 00:41:01,800 this predilection to 1008 00:41:06,109 --> 00:41:03,839 um split right like people think that 1009 00:41:09,530 --> 00:41:06,119 either everything is totally believable 1010 00:41:14,089 --> 00:41:09,540 or everything is hallucination 1011 00:41:15,589 --> 00:41:14,099 um my kind of sidecar question then is 1012 00:41:17,630 --> 00:41:15,599 um just out of curiosity do you 1013 00:41:19,609 --> 00:41:17,640 experience aesthetic chill 1014 00:41:21,950 --> 00:41:19,619 when you listen to music or when you 1015 00:41:23,950 --> 00:41:21,960 look at art or see great natural beauty 1016 00:41:26,270 --> 00:41:23,960 or anything like that 1017 00:41:28,010 --> 00:41:26,280 well you mean like a peak experience 1018 00:41:30,050 --> 00:41:28,020 type thing 1019 00:41:31,130 --> 00:41:30,060 um similar yeah look I like chill it's 1020 00:41:32,690 --> 00:41:31,140 sometimes called like stand Hall 1021 00:41:34,370 --> 00:41:32,700 syndrome it's this feeling of like 1022 00:41:36,170 --> 00:41:34,380 overwhelm 1023 00:41:39,050 --> 00:41:36,180 um and it can feel almost dissociative 1024 00:41:40,730 --> 00:41:39,060 or disembodied I definitely had it like 1025 00:41:42,589 --> 00:41:40,740 Full Tilt when I saw the Grand Canyon 1026 00:41:44,569 --> 00:41:42,599 for the first time some people have it 1027 00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:44,579 when they go to Paris like different 1028 00:41:49,250 --> 00:41:47,280 forms of Art and uh encounters can 1029 00:41:52,250 --> 00:41:49,260 induce this even in a totally otherwise 1030 00:41:54,230 --> 00:41:52,260 sober State I think uh the the one 1031 00:41:55,910 --> 00:41:54,240 experience that I have the mouth rings a 1032 00:41:58,849 --> 00:41:55,920 bell with that is when I saw the the 1033 00:42:01,010 --> 00:41:58,859 total solar eclipse a few years ago cool 1034 00:42:03,470 --> 00:42:01,020 and it has to actually just gave me a 1035 00:42:05,030 --> 00:42:03,480 shiver just thinking about it uh it's 1036 00:42:07,250 --> 00:42:05,040 it's it's 1037 00:42:11,390 --> 00:42:07,260 um it was something that was expected 1038 00:42:13,490 --> 00:42:11,400 how it reacted to it uh I was on this 1039 00:42:14,930 --> 00:42:13,500 this kind of Hilltop with some some 1040 00:42:17,870 --> 00:42:14,940 friends and some other people I didn't 1041 00:42:19,849 --> 00:42:17,880 know and we were kind of all you know it 1042 00:42:20,890 --> 00:42:19,859 was kind of getting dark because you 1043 00:42:25,190 --> 00:42:20,900 either 1044 00:42:26,630 --> 00:42:25,200 little solar eclipse uh and yeah it 1045 00:42:28,069 --> 00:42:26,640 didn't like anything special like there 1046 00:42:29,329 --> 00:42:28,079 was some guy rambling on about something 1047 00:42:31,250 --> 00:42:29,339 we were getting annoyed and we're trying 1048 00:42:34,190 --> 00:42:31,260 to away from him and then kind of all of 1049 00:42:36,410 --> 00:42:34,200 a sudden like went into this this total 1050 00:42:38,569 --> 00:42:36,420 eclipse and it was just the most amazing 1051 00:42:40,069 --> 00:42:38,579 thing I've ever seen in my life and it 1052 00:42:42,130 --> 00:42:40,079 you know like I say it's giving me 1053 00:42:45,290 --> 00:42:42,140 shivers right now thinking about it 1054 00:42:47,750 --> 00:42:45,300 so yeah I think you know there is such a 1055 00:42:50,270 --> 00:42:47,760 thing as uh aesthetic and I had it right 1056 00:42:54,109 --> 00:42:52,370 yeah does that sort of does that like a 1057 00:42:57,349 --> 00:42:54,119 logical aspect interest you particularly 1058 00:42:59,329 --> 00:42:57,359 or is like your your orientation is more 1059 00:43:02,329 --> 00:42:59,339 like towards the physical 1060 00:43:04,670 --> 00:43:02,339 um yeah mathematical kind of orientation 1061 00:43:06,170 --> 00:43:04,680 because that's your background do you 1062 00:43:08,990 --> 00:43:06,180 really hear much about the psychological 1063 00:43:12,050 --> 00:43:09,000 yeah I do think about it quite a lot uh 1064 00:43:14,329 --> 00:43:12,060 the problem is it's difficult to get a 1065 00:43:17,089 --> 00:43:14,339 hold of difficult to do anything with it 1066 00:43:19,730 --> 00:43:17,099 and so I tend to dig more with the nuts 1067 00:43:21,770 --> 00:43:19,740 faults type things but I I often think 1068 00:43:23,630 --> 00:43:21,780 about 1069 00:43:27,530 --> 00:43:23,640 you know I was just think today 1070 00:43:30,770 --> 00:43:27,540 about black triangles so yeah black 1071 00:43:33,770 --> 00:43:30,780 triangles uh are something that's quite 1072 00:43:37,250 --> 00:43:33,780 commonly seen people often describe what 1073 00:43:40,069 --> 00:43:37,260 they saw as a black triangle and yeah 1074 00:43:43,069 --> 00:43:40,079 just thinking because it's because 1075 00:43:45,650 --> 00:43:43,079 someone mentioned like uh micro dosing 1076 00:43:46,970 --> 00:43:45,660 and you know SD and things like that at 1077 00:43:50,450 --> 00:43:46,980 some point on something I was listening 1078 00:43:53,089 --> 00:43:50,460 to I was thinking you know is there some 1079 00:43:56,030 --> 00:43:53,099 people neurological reason why people 1080 00:43:57,829 --> 00:43:56,040 see black triangles and that made me 1081 00:43:59,690 --> 00:43:57,839 think that there's there are some 1082 00:44:02,210 --> 00:43:59,700 theories about 1083 00:44:05,170 --> 00:44:02,220 you know what people say 1084 00:44:07,670 --> 00:44:05,180 and they they take uh 1085 00:44:10,370 --> 00:44:07,680 various types of drugs which which give 1086 00:44:11,809 --> 00:44:10,380 them these ultimateal states and one of 1087 00:44:13,010 --> 00:44:11,819 the theories about what they see is that 1088 00:44:15,410 --> 00:44:13,020 it's actually reflecting the direction 1089 00:44:17,630 --> 00:44:15,420 of the brain like the brain just doesn't 1090 00:44:21,349 --> 00:44:17,640 leap inside it's in visual text 1091 00:44:23,809 --> 00:44:21,359 assistant uh Arrangement and when you 1092 00:44:25,910 --> 00:44:23,819 when you take these these drugs it kind 1093 00:44:28,490 --> 00:44:25,920 of blurs the boundaries between regions 1094 00:44:30,050 --> 00:44:28,500 of the brain so the the visual text is 1095 00:44:31,730 --> 00:44:30,060 kind of seeing the shape of the brain 1096 00:44:34,309 --> 00:44:31,740 around it and the activity and the Brain 1097 00:44:35,690 --> 00:44:34,319 around it and so these these things that 1098 00:44:37,430 --> 00:44:35,700 people see these kind of like things 1099 00:44:40,130 --> 00:44:37,440 like mandalas and things like that could 1100 00:44:43,790 --> 00:44:40,140 be kind of like the Centric blossoming 1101 00:44:45,710 --> 00:44:43,800 of electrons of news firing in the brain 1102 00:44:48,890 --> 00:44:45,720 and it could it be that something like 1103 00:44:52,130 --> 00:44:48,900 black triangle you know go across your 1104 00:44:53,630 --> 00:44:52,140 build of vision is things similar could 1105 00:44:56,510 --> 00:44:53,640 it be something that's that's something 1106 00:44:58,550 --> 00:44:56,520 that's induced by an altered mental 1107 00:45:01,250 --> 00:44:58,560 state perhaps chemically induced like 1108 00:45:03,170 --> 00:45:01,260 perhaps naturally uh altered that's 1109 00:45:05,630 --> 00:45:03,180 creating this common hallucination 1110 00:45:08,089 --> 00:45:05,640 between people and you've got things 1111 00:45:10,430 --> 00:45:08,099 like jungi and archetypes and the [\h__\h] 1112 00:45:12,349 --> 00:45:10,440 collectible Consciousness but we also 1113 00:45:13,790 --> 00:45:12,359 have a shared biology and we have a 1114 00:45:18,609 --> 00:45:13,800 shared neurology 1115 00:45:21,430 --> 00:45:18,619 so have a shared uh kind of reaction to 1116 00:45:22,990 --> 00:45:21,440 visual Illusions but we may also have 1117 00:45:25,670 --> 00:45:23,000 shared 1118 00:45:27,410 --> 00:45:25,680 hallucinations that are the result of 1119 00:45:28,910 --> 00:45:27,420 altered mental States for things like 1120 00:45:31,609 --> 00:45:28,920 stress or you know even flight 1121 00:45:33,410 --> 00:45:31,619 dehydration or even just occasional you 1122 00:45:37,069 --> 00:45:33,420 know vertical or whatever like that uh 1123 00:45:38,990 --> 00:45:37,079 you know transient uh uh transient I 1124 00:45:42,470 --> 00:45:39,000 think is ischemic it acts like when 1125 00:45:45,530 --> 00:45:42,480 you're a minor micro uh strong in the 1126 00:45:47,750 --> 00:45:45,540 brain thing that causes 1127 00:45:51,230 --> 00:45:47,760 share type of 1128 00:45:53,870 --> 00:45:51,240 visualization of the UFO 1129 00:45:56,870 --> 00:45:53,880 can I do with that it's like it's just a 1130 00:45:59,809 --> 00:45:56,880 theory you know how I can't test it 1131 00:46:00,829 --> 00:45:59,819 well so I tend to stay with the uh the 1132 00:46:04,069 --> 00:46:00,839 nuts 1133 00:46:07,190 --> 00:46:04,079 let me uh jump in now uh since uh there 1134 00:46:10,550 --> 00:46:07,200 are some excuse me truth Seekers uh in 1135 00:46:13,670 --> 00:46:10,560 the chat who are complaining about our 1136 00:46:16,370 --> 00:46:13,680 um skeptical perspective I will just In 1137 00:46:18,410 --> 00:46:16,380 This Moment uh take this opportunity to 1138 00:46:21,410 --> 00:46:18,420 again make sure that I am never 1139 00:46:24,770 --> 00:46:21,420 qualified for public office 1140 00:46:26,690 --> 00:46:24,780 um with the black triangles we have a 1141 00:46:28,430 --> 00:46:26,700 number of people I've spoken to uh over 1142 00:46:30,770 --> 00:46:28,440 the last couple of years uh skeptical 1143 00:46:31,970 --> 00:46:30,780 people who um swear that they've seen 1144 00:46:34,010 --> 00:46:31,980 these things so there seems to be 1145 00:46:35,809 --> 00:46:34,020 something happening with that along the 1146 00:46:38,329 --> 00:46:35,819 lines uh you know we don't know exactly 1147 00:46:40,490 --> 00:46:38,339 what the cause is something I'd love to 1148 00:46:43,910 --> 00:46:40,500 lean into for a second and hear your 1149 00:46:46,910 --> 00:46:43,920 perspective Mick is that we have this 1150 00:46:49,430 --> 00:46:46,920 Declassified report from 2000 in the UK 1151 00:46:51,410 --> 00:46:49,440 the guardian reported extensively on it 1152 00:46:53,870 --> 00:46:51,420 it was Declassified in 2006 after a 1153 00:46:56,589 --> 00:46:53,880 newly done Freedom of Information laws 1154 00:46:59,510 --> 00:46:56,599 it's a genuine report we see that the 1155 00:47:02,270 --> 00:46:59,520 di55 briefed the top Ministry of Defense 1156 00:47:04,910 --> 00:47:02,280 leadership that UFOs with the classic 1157 00:47:07,130 --> 00:47:04,920 eyewitness features are real phenomena 1158 00:47:10,490 --> 00:47:07,140 that are some kind of atmospheric plasma 1159 00:47:12,730 --> 00:47:10,500 and it goes into detail about how these 1160 00:47:14,390 --> 00:47:12,740 uh ball lightning-like phenomena can 1161 00:47:16,490 --> 00:47:14,400 electromagnetically couple to one 1162 00:47:18,650 --> 00:47:16,500 another in the atmosphere in geometric 1163 00:47:20,390 --> 00:47:18,660 shapes because of the nature of plasma 1164 00:47:22,190 --> 00:47:20,400 crystallization it forms geometric 1165 00:47:23,870 --> 00:47:22,200 shapes and then it forms a light 1166 00:47:26,690 --> 00:47:23,880 scattering effect or produced as a light 1167 00:47:28,190 --> 00:47:26,700 scattering effect between the uh coupled 1168 00:47:29,870 --> 00:47:28,200 ball Lightnings and this is apparently 1169 00:47:32,630 --> 00:47:29,880 what according to the guardian of BBC 1170 00:47:35,569 --> 00:47:32,640 Top UK leadership was briefed on 1171 00:47:37,490 --> 00:47:35,579 um when you hear something like that and 1172 00:47:38,870 --> 00:47:37,500 there are so many Skeptics uh that I've 1173 00:47:41,210 --> 00:47:38,880 spoken to say that have seen this kind 1174 00:47:44,089 --> 00:47:41,220 of thing and then there's these internal 1175 00:47:45,650 --> 00:47:44,099 reports making these interesting claims 1176 00:47:47,510 --> 00:47:45,660 and then in the most recent the 1177 00:47:50,390 --> 00:47:47,520 classical memos from the UAP study group 1178 00:47:52,670 --> 00:47:50,400 in NASA the lead director is citing 1179 00:47:53,990 --> 00:47:52,680 something called skirmions which are all 1180 00:47:55,670 --> 00:47:54,000 lightning-like phenomena that form 1181 00:47:58,309 --> 00:47:55,680 geometric shapes including triangles in 1182 00:48:00,470 --> 00:47:58,319 the lab so and we know that plasma is 1183 00:48:02,569 --> 00:48:00,480 scaling so that it on the time scale is 1184 00:48:04,849 --> 00:48:02,579 the same on a big scale what do you 1185 00:48:06,710 --> 00:48:04,859 think is there anything there where we 1186 00:48:08,809 --> 00:48:06,720 can think about that being a possibility 1187 00:48:11,390 --> 00:48:08,819 or is that uh just causing problems for 1188 00:48:13,069 --> 00:48:11,400 the conversation no I think it's it's 1189 00:48:15,530 --> 00:48:13,079 something I I would certainly wouldn't 1190 00:48:18,109 --> 00:48:15,540 want to roll it out you know you talked 1191 00:48:20,809 --> 00:48:18,119 about uh how you know there's a new Full 1192 00:48:23,870 --> 00:48:20,819 of plasma weather phenomena called Steve 1193 00:48:25,670 --> 00:48:23,880 that's just been described it's kind of 1194 00:48:27,170 --> 00:48:25,680 a ridiculous name but uh you know that's 1195 00:48:29,450 --> 00:48:27,180 that's what it is but you know we have 1196 00:48:32,569 --> 00:48:29,460 we have Sprites and what and uh 1197 00:48:34,490 --> 00:48:32,579 the other ones the other so 1198 00:48:37,309 --> 00:48:34,500 we're discovering new things there was a 1199 00:48:39,589 --> 00:48:37,319 new thing called a crown Flash 1200 00:48:41,750 --> 00:48:39,599 Crown flash uh if you've never seen 1201 00:48:43,730 --> 00:48:41,760 those on the top of a storm cloud you 1202 00:48:46,130 --> 00:48:43,740 get this kind of little Arc Light in it 1203 00:48:48,829 --> 00:48:46,140 like goes from one side to the other 1204 00:48:52,370 --> 00:48:48,839 looks really amazing wasn't captured on 1205 00:48:53,930 --> 00:48:52,380 video before I think like 2011. uh and 1206 00:48:55,430 --> 00:48:53,940 it's not likely it's just newly invented 1207 00:48:56,870 --> 00:48:55,440 it's always been there it's just that no 1208 00:48:58,910 --> 00:48:56,880 one's really noticed it no one's 1209 00:49:00,770 --> 00:48:58,920 actually captured it on video so it's 1210 00:49:03,829 --> 00:49:00,780 entirely possible that our atmosphere 1211 00:49:05,750 --> 00:49:03,839 phenomena that we just simply 1212 00:49:07,910 --> 00:49:05,760 haven't captured because they're 1213 00:49:10,849 --> 00:49:07,920 relatively there you know when they 1214 00:49:13,130 --> 00:49:10,859 instigated Foo Fighters in which I'm 1215 00:49:15,950 --> 00:49:13,140 sure you know like you know one of they 1216 00:49:18,530 --> 00:49:15,960 theorists about Foo Fighters was that 1217 00:49:21,890 --> 00:49:18,540 they were very very rare atmospheric 1218 00:49:24,890 --> 00:49:21,900 phenomena were only being seen because 1219 00:49:26,510 --> 00:49:24,900 there was a huge amount of of air 1220 00:49:30,410 --> 00:49:26,520 traffic where the norm wouldn't be any 1221 00:49:33,470 --> 00:49:30,420 you know they didn't used to be this big 1222 00:49:36,589 --> 00:49:33,480 uh conduit of air traffic at 20 1223 00:49:37,970 --> 00:49:36,599 000 to 30 000 feet between uh between 1224 00:49:41,809 --> 00:49:37,980 Europe between 1225 00:49:44,990 --> 00:49:41,819 England and and Europe uh until you know 1226 00:49:47,329 --> 00:49:45,000 the the 1940s and all of a sudden were 1227 00:49:50,690 --> 00:49:47,339 sometimes like many thousands of Lights 1228 00:49:53,510 --> 00:49:50,700 per day with with these pilots and 1229 00:49:55,069 --> 00:49:53,520 either there was that you know 1230 00:49:57,950 --> 00:49:55,079 is something that's always been there 1231 00:49:59,809 --> 00:49:57,960 but we just never noticed it before uh 1232 00:50:01,970 --> 00:49:59,819 but 1233 00:50:03,650 --> 00:50:01,980 then we've got we've had lots of flights 1234 00:50:06,470 --> 00:50:03,660 since and people aren't really noticing 1235 00:50:08,450 --> 00:50:06,480 it even though you know uh you know 1236 00:50:10,250 --> 00:50:08,460 we're not in in Wartime anymore now we 1237 00:50:12,589 --> 00:50:10,260 actually have lots of uh of regular 1238 00:50:15,109 --> 00:50:12,599 flights uh at those altitudes and no 1239 00:50:16,190 --> 00:50:15,119 one's really seeing it so that that 1240 00:50:17,390 --> 00:50:16,200 ounce didn't really power but it's 1241 00:50:19,550 --> 00:50:17,400 something that was very seriously 1242 00:50:21,050 --> 00:50:19,560 considered and it might still have a bit 1243 00:50:24,710 --> 00:50:21,060 of truth to it 1244 00:50:27,230 --> 00:50:24,720 I don't know how well it explains uh 1245 00:50:28,730 --> 00:50:27,240 the sightings that we've been seeing you 1246 00:50:31,069 --> 00:50:28,740 know black triangles you know you could 1247 00:50:33,050 --> 00:50:31,079 perhaps imagine if there's three plasma 1248 00:50:35,809 --> 00:50:33,060 balls and they're kind of somehow held 1249 00:50:38,510 --> 00:50:35,819 in a geometric structure and then yeah 1250 00:50:41,170 --> 00:50:38,520 but uh you know plasma is generally by 1251 00:50:43,490 --> 00:50:41,180 its nature of the very fairly luminous 1252 00:50:45,530 --> 00:50:43,500 and you know you kind of wouldn't really 1253 00:50:46,910 --> 00:50:45,540 expect to simulate through balls that uh 1254 00:50:48,770 --> 00:50:46,920 don't have anything between them I guess 1255 00:50:50,809 --> 00:50:48,780 you could have some Thin filaments 1256 00:50:53,650 --> 00:50:50,819 around the edges or something like that 1257 00:50:57,290 --> 00:50:53,660 but anyway I guess the my answer is the 1258 00:50:59,510 --> 00:50:57,300 uh I wouldn't really doubt but I would 1259 00:51:00,890 --> 00:50:59,520 like to see better evidence that's kind 1260 00:51:03,829 --> 00:51:00,900 of like my answer for a lot of things 1261 00:51:06,290 --> 00:51:03,839 you know with uh with even like the 1262 00:51:09,349 --> 00:51:06,300 non-human intelligence hypothesis or 1263 00:51:11,210 --> 00:51:09,359 even like dimensional trails you know 1264 00:51:12,650 --> 00:51:11,220 I'm not going to rule it out 1265 00:51:14,930 --> 00:51:12,660 but 1266 00:51:17,809 --> 00:51:14,940 yeah I put it somewhere on a list 1267 00:51:20,210 --> 00:51:17,819 hypotheses uh generally not very high 1268 00:51:22,490 --> 00:51:20,220 because they're a far more plausible uh 1269 00:51:23,690 --> 00:51:22,500 answers that are that are higher but you 1270 00:51:26,510 --> 00:51:23,700 know 1271 00:51:28,730 --> 00:51:26,520 uh to explore some UFOs I think is going 1272 00:51:32,630 --> 00:51:28,740 to be higher up the list than uh 1273 00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:36,410 terribly reasonable yeah 1274 00:51:40,870 --> 00:51:38,990 what about the Nimitz encounters 1275 00:51:43,430 --> 00:51:40,880 um have you sort of thought about 1276 00:51:45,049 --> 00:51:43,440 like a chronology of events that you 1277 00:51:47,870 --> 00:51:45,059 favor because you you might have read 1278 00:51:49,490 --> 00:51:47,880 our Paradox um work on that but do you 1279 00:51:53,150 --> 00:51:49,500 have a sort of specific chronology that 1280 00:51:55,250 --> 00:51:53,160 you would sort of uh Hazard yeah I guess 1281 00:51:57,349 --> 00:51:55,260 so I mean like uh maybe we know the 1282 00:51:59,990 --> 00:51:57,359 chronology so you what you're saying is 1283 00:52:02,809 --> 00:52:00,000 like well how do I explain each stage of 1284 00:52:05,329 --> 00:52:02,819 that you know each of those events uh I 1285 00:52:07,549 --> 00:52:05,339 think first of all the there's a lot of 1286 00:52:09,950 --> 00:52:07,559 um not a lot but there's a degree of 1287 00:52:13,309 --> 00:52:09,960 uncertainty a degree of conflict between 1288 00:52:16,490 --> 00:52:13,319 the accounts uh like we know the big one 1289 00:52:19,069 --> 00:52:16,500 obviously is that uh uh Commander David 1290 00:52:21,650 --> 00:52:19,079 Travis says this or the the Tic Tac for 1291 00:52:23,870 --> 00:52:21,660 five minutes and uh Alex Dietrich she 1292 00:52:27,710 --> 00:52:23,880 only saw it for 10 seconds which is a 1293 00:52:30,109 --> 00:52:27,720 huge you know this uh this difference in 1294 00:52:31,970 --> 00:52:30,119 those two things uh but then there are 1295 00:52:34,670 --> 00:52:31,980 other sort of change like say Kevin days 1296 00:52:36,589 --> 00:52:34,680 is the freight told him that the the Tic 1297 00:52:38,690 --> 00:52:36,599 Tac did barrel rolls around his plane he 1298 00:52:40,970 --> 00:52:38,700 told that fraver was screaming in Terror 1299 00:52:43,010 --> 00:52:40,980 when he called it in and Trevor says 1300 00:52:44,569 --> 00:52:43,020 like nothing like ever happened so you 1301 00:52:47,450 --> 00:52:44,579 know then but then Kevin day is awesome 1302 00:52:48,950 --> 00:52:47,460 guy who tells us all about the radar uh 1303 00:52:50,150 --> 00:52:48,960 and he got the other thing wrong but 1304 00:52:51,410 --> 00:52:50,160 maybe you got something else wrong so 1305 00:52:53,690 --> 00:52:51,420 the least difference 1306 00:52:56,809 --> 00:52:53,700 services but you know if I was to kind 1307 00:52:58,730 --> 00:52:56,819 of do a narrative of 1308 00:52:59,990 --> 00:52:58,740 um on their messy encounter you know 1309 00:53:02,450 --> 00:53:00,000 basically 1310 00:53:04,630 --> 00:53:02,460 they're doing this this work of exercise 1311 00:53:08,510 --> 00:53:04,640 in coast of California 1312 00:53:10,430 --> 00:53:08,520 and they see these these things on the 1313 00:53:11,809 --> 00:53:10,440 radar they're seeing these these groups 1314 00:53:13,250 --> 00:53:11,819 of five things that are slowly 1315 00:53:16,370 --> 00:53:13,260 descending from the north to the South 1316 00:53:17,630 --> 00:53:16,380 about 100 dot uh this is something that 1317 00:53:20,329 --> 00:53:17,640 went on for several days and I think 1318 00:53:21,890 --> 00:53:20,339 it's agreed upon by more than one person 1319 00:53:22,970 --> 00:53:21,900 so we're fairly sure that that actually 1320 00:53:25,010 --> 00:53:22,980 happened 1321 00:53:26,870 --> 00:53:25,020 uh they reported captain and he wasn't 1322 00:53:29,089 --> 00:53:26,880 too bothered about it so it was probably 1323 00:53:31,730 --> 00:53:29,099 some kind of um phenomenon some kind of 1324 00:53:34,549 --> 00:53:31,740 glitch that rebooting the the radar and 1325 00:53:37,130 --> 00:53:34,559 stuff uh the radar had been very 1326 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:37,140 recently up upgraded I think the upgrade 1327 00:53:41,150 --> 00:53:39,119 perhaps just a few days earlier because 1328 00:53:43,130 --> 00:53:41,160 of the you know the the work that they 1329 00:53:46,670 --> 00:53:43,140 were doing uh 1330 00:53:48,049 --> 00:53:46,680 so after a few days of that Kevin Day 1331 00:53:51,230 --> 00:53:48,059 persuades the captain that they should 1332 00:53:54,109 --> 00:53:51,240 send a plane out to investigate so they 1333 00:53:57,650 --> 00:53:54,119 get fraver and and Dietrich and they're 1334 00:54:00,049 --> 00:53:57,660 out there they investigate and they when 1335 00:54:01,670 --> 00:54:00,059 they arrive at the location where the 1336 00:54:04,069 --> 00:54:01,680 thing is supposed to be they can't see 1337 00:54:05,930 --> 00:54:04,079 it for a while it was 20 000 feet 1338 00:54:07,390 --> 00:54:05,940 there's nothing there then they see 1339 00:54:11,809 --> 00:54:07,400 something down at the water 1340 00:54:14,329 --> 00:54:11,819 and um yeah they see this exactly so 1341 00:54:17,150 --> 00:54:14,339 yeah what's my hypothesis uh I think 1342 00:54:18,710 --> 00:54:17,160 clearly for the first thing the radar 1343 00:54:19,970 --> 00:54:18,720 things are probably radar glitches 1344 00:54:22,430 --> 00:54:19,980 there's probably something wrong with 1345 00:54:25,190 --> 00:54:22,440 radar and it's a combination of of that 1346 00:54:26,990 --> 00:54:25,200 like the new software on the radar plus 1347 00:54:28,430 --> 00:54:27,000 some kind of weather condition or some 1348 00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:28,440 kind of type echo or something that's 1349 00:54:33,530 --> 00:54:30,480 not being properly handled by the radar 1350 00:54:35,089 --> 00:54:33,540 because it's new new software or a new 1351 00:54:36,589 --> 00:54:35,099 system or there's something wrong one of 1352 00:54:37,730 --> 00:54:36,599 the horns on the thing isn't isn't 1353 00:54:42,109 --> 00:54:37,740 working 1354 00:54:43,250 --> 00:54:42,119 uh then what uh deep and uh and privacy 1355 00:54:46,010 --> 00:54:43,260 I think it's really something different 1356 00:54:48,109 --> 00:54:46,020 I think it's unrelated I don't think 1357 00:54:50,390 --> 00:54:48,119 these are the same at all I think that 1358 00:54:52,309 --> 00:54:50,400 they went over there and saw something 1359 00:54:53,870 --> 00:54:52,319 don't know what any other accounts vary 1360 00:54:56,870 --> 00:54:53,880 quite a bit and there's another guy Jim 1361 00:54:59,150 --> 00:54:56,880 slay who has uh uh who was in in the 1362 00:55:01,970 --> 00:54:59,160 back seat of dietrich's plane he can 1363 00:55:05,809 --> 00:55:01,980 account that you know he's very short 1364 00:55:08,809 --> 00:55:05,819 but uh the seu the scientific Coalition 1365 00:55:11,150 --> 00:55:08,819 on mythology they have an interview with 1366 00:55:12,770 --> 00:55:11,160 him where they've released tickets of it 1367 00:55:14,870 --> 00:55:12,780 they haven't released the whole 1368 00:55:16,970 --> 00:55:14,880 interview for space noise yeah a little 1369 00:55:18,829 --> 00:55:16,980 suspicious actually I I feel like there 1370 00:55:21,430 --> 00:55:18,839 may be stuff in the further conflicts 1371 00:55:26,390 --> 00:55:21,440 with the account but he said things like 1372 00:55:28,790 --> 00:55:26,400 the attack had like this uh some kind of 1373 00:55:30,770 --> 00:55:28,800 um like heat haze around it nobody else 1374 00:55:32,690 --> 00:55:30,780 saw that forever didn't see it it was 1375 00:55:34,069 --> 00:55:32,700 much closer so there's always different 1376 00:55:36,710 --> 00:55:34,079 to camera 1377 00:55:38,329 --> 00:55:36,720 so I think something was seen I don't 1378 00:55:40,790 --> 00:55:38,339 know what it was you know I don't really 1379 00:55:42,950 --> 00:55:40,800 have a very good hypothesis if I was to 1380 00:55:45,130 --> 00:55:42,960 list like a couple of them the first one 1381 00:55:48,890 --> 00:55:45,140 might be some kind of uh balloon 1382 00:55:52,309 --> 00:55:48,900 strawberry like uh they're using a radar 1383 00:55:54,170 --> 00:55:52,319 like a radar icon or you know Rayo 1384 00:55:57,130 --> 00:55:54,180 antenna that's like on a tethered 1385 00:55:59,990 --> 00:55:57,140 balloon and the balloon starts rising up 1386 00:56:01,910 --> 00:56:00,000 and when fraver flies down there's some 1387 00:56:04,490 --> 00:56:01,920 kind of power light action he thinks 1388 00:56:07,490 --> 00:56:04,500 it's uh over here actually over here and 1389 00:56:09,530 --> 00:56:07,500 so he thinks that it's going around him 1390 00:56:12,049 --> 00:56:09,540 when he's going around it there's this 1391 00:56:14,809 --> 00:56:12,059 big confusion and then then he loses 1392 00:56:16,790 --> 00:56:14,819 because it's something it goes it just 1393 00:56:18,589 --> 00:56:16,800 doesn't it's not where he thinks he does 1394 00:56:20,390 --> 00:56:18,599 so I think it's you know something else 1395 00:56:22,730 --> 00:56:20,400 it could be something else like a drone 1396 00:56:24,349 --> 00:56:22,740 or a missile test or something like that 1397 00:56:26,089 --> 00:56:24,359 but yeah I don't really have a good idea 1398 00:56:27,970 --> 00:56:26,099 what it is 1399 00:56:31,069 --> 00:56:27,980 then the next thing that happens 1400 00:56:33,950 --> 00:56:31,079 is uh Chad Underwood goes out I think 1401 00:56:37,609 --> 00:56:33,960 like 14 minutes or an hour later and he 1402 00:56:40,130 --> 00:56:37,619 flies off and he believe gets a ping on 1403 00:56:43,910 --> 00:56:40,140 his radar points exactly in Direction 1404 00:56:46,430 --> 00:56:43,920 and he gets uh this this blurry little 1405 00:56:48,410 --> 00:56:46,440 lob off in the distance and we have this 1406 00:56:49,609 --> 00:56:48,420 famous Flair one video that's something 1407 00:56:52,490 --> 00:56:49,619 else 1408 00:56:54,010 --> 00:56:52,500 again in Thailand I think these like 1409 00:56:58,609 --> 00:56:54,020 three different things 1410 00:57:00,410 --> 00:56:58,619 inflated to one event yeah there's one 1411 00:57:02,210 --> 00:57:00,420 whole situation with the Nimitz but the 1412 00:57:03,950 --> 00:57:02,220 the three different things so I think he 1413 00:57:06,230 --> 00:57:03,960 was probably 1414 00:57:06,910 --> 00:57:06,240 looking at something like a distant deck 1415 00:57:09,530 --> 00:57:06,920 right 1416 00:57:11,870 --> 00:57:09,540 uh or perhaps something like a drone or 1417 00:57:12,710 --> 00:57:11,880 something like that uh there was just 1418 00:57:14,630 --> 00:57:12,720 Lee 1419 00:57:15,349 --> 00:57:14,640 buying away from him and a bit to the 1420 00:57:17,809 --> 00:57:15,359 left 1421 00:57:19,790 --> 00:57:17,819 and I think he was moving around people 1422 00:57:22,309 --> 00:57:19,800 say it's moving around but I think 1423 00:57:25,130 --> 00:57:22,319 that's still camera motion and the the 1424 00:57:28,790 --> 00:57:25,140 closing lock as they they switch lenses 1425 00:57:30,650 --> 00:57:28,800 and things like that so uh that video 1426 00:57:32,270 --> 00:57:30,660 shows anything amazing 1427 00:57:33,770 --> 00:57:32,280 and then there's a few other things that 1428 00:57:36,290 --> 00:57:33,780 are kind of mixed in people said they're 1429 00:57:37,730 --> 00:57:36,300 using they've been Killers to look in it 1430 00:57:40,250 --> 00:57:37,740 in Direction and they saw some white 1431 00:57:41,870 --> 00:57:40,260 dots those white dots could be could be 1432 00:57:43,549 --> 00:57:41,880 planes or they could be they could be 1433 00:57:45,049 --> 00:57:43,559 seagull I don't want to say seagulls 1434 00:57:46,849 --> 00:57:45,059 because people will stop to admir jokes 1435 00:57:49,190 --> 00:57:46,859 about sequels but 1436 00:57:50,870 --> 00:57:49,200 across Eagles in the sea and if you look 1437 00:57:52,370 --> 00:57:50,880 for ridiculous you might you might 1438 00:57:53,210 --> 00:57:52,380 actually see some seagulls in the 1439 00:57:55,490 --> 00:57:53,220 distance 1440 00:57:57,230 --> 00:57:55,500 these again different things so I think 1441 00:57:59,390 --> 00:57:57,240 a whole bunch of different things got 1442 00:58:01,730 --> 00:57:59,400 mixed together in what we think of as 1443 00:58:04,069 --> 00:58:01,740 being this one event where you know they 1444 00:58:05,450 --> 00:58:04,079 they the the tears up on the radar and 1445 00:58:07,010 --> 00:58:05,460 they go out and they film it and they 1446 00:58:09,770 --> 00:58:07,020 encounter and have a video of it and 1447 00:58:11,750 --> 00:58:09,780 everybody's see it but it's a whole 1448 00:58:15,109 --> 00:58:11,760 bunch of different things and 1449 00:58:17,510 --> 00:58:15,119 um they're totally liked but they're not 1450 00:58:20,630 --> 00:58:17,520 all particularly amazing either 1451 00:58:21,589 --> 00:58:20,640 yep hey Nick sorry to to jump in and 1452 00:58:23,690 --> 00:58:21,599 interrupt so we're getting some 1453 00:58:25,549 --> 00:58:23,700 complaints about the um the stream 1454 00:58:27,049 --> 00:58:25,559 quality and audio would you mind 1455 00:58:28,370 --> 00:58:27,059 basically just like dropping off the 1456 00:58:30,589 --> 00:58:28,380 stream and then just reach joining 1457 00:58:32,329 --> 00:58:30,599 seeing if that helps 1458 00:58:35,390 --> 00:58:32,339 beautiful 1459 00:58:37,730 --> 00:58:35,400 thank you a bit choppy 1460 00:58:39,049 --> 00:58:37,740 all right guys he's gone let's get rid 1461 00:58:41,750 --> 00:58:39,059 of him 1462 00:58:44,270 --> 00:58:41,760 we'll wait for him to come back 1463 00:58:46,609 --> 00:58:44,280 oh I figured he'd refresh but we'll try 1464 00:58:48,770 --> 00:58:46,619 hold on all right cool 1465 00:58:50,770 --> 00:58:48,780 hopefully he'll be back in just a second 1466 00:58:54,289 --> 00:58:50,780 yeah 1467 00:58:56,329 --> 00:58:54,299 well this does go to really show that um 1468 00:58:58,250 --> 00:58:56,339 when all you have is witness testimony 1469 00:58:59,569 --> 00:58:58,260 while it is important to establish the 1470 00:59:02,329 --> 00:58:59,579 story 1471 00:59:05,089 --> 00:59:02,339 um you can only ever get each witness's 1472 00:59:06,829 --> 00:59:05,099 perspective or interpretation of what 1473 00:59:09,770 --> 00:59:06,839 was happening rather than a clear 1474 00:59:12,230 --> 00:59:09,780 picture of an objective reality which is 1475 00:59:14,109 --> 00:59:12,240 I mean this is the case with most UFO 1476 00:59:16,370 --> 00:59:14,119 sightings of course 1477 00:59:19,150 --> 00:59:16,380 I wish there was some way of like sort 1478 00:59:22,849 --> 00:59:19,160 of triangulating people's psychological 1479 00:59:26,089 --> 00:59:22,859 like they're um subjective um reports to 1480 00:59:27,950 --> 00:59:26,099 try to arrive at our objective event 1481 00:59:28,970 --> 00:59:27,960 like what could possimony explain 1482 00:59:32,690 --> 00:59:28,980 everything 1483 00:59:41,089 --> 00:59:37,910 hey I'm back oh it worked dude I'm 1484 00:59:43,190 --> 00:59:41,099 getting you yeah it's beautiful no more 1485 00:59:45,650 --> 00:59:43,200 pixels just wondering if I was shouting 1486 00:59:47,390 --> 00:59:45,660 too much I was looking at my uh if it's 1487 00:59:50,870 --> 00:59:47,400 yeah okay yeah let me know if it happens 1488 00:59:53,390 --> 00:59:50,880 again okay that is smooth darn we should 1489 00:59:57,670 --> 00:59:53,400 have done that a while ago a while ago 1490 01:00:00,109 --> 00:59:57,680 yeah oh well oh wow technology 1491 01:00:06,170 --> 01:00:00,119 everything just repeat everything you've 1492 01:00:12,910 --> 01:00:08,870 I think you got the gist of it but yeah 1493 01:00:16,849 --> 01:00:12,920 it's uh I think it's all seagulls 1494 01:00:21,710 --> 01:00:20,329 I I I hate the seagull thing and yeah 1495 01:00:24,049 --> 01:00:21,720 but that's probably why people mention 1496 01:00:26,630 --> 01:00:24,059 it so much because it's uh it's it's 1497 01:00:28,069 --> 01:00:26,640 it's ribbing me yeah so it's gonna be 1498 01:00:30,230 --> 01:00:28,079 rubbing me the wrong way but because 1499 01:00:32,329 --> 01:00:30,240 it's like it's silly it's annoying you 1500 01:00:34,010 --> 01:00:32,339 know I I said that one of the things you 1501 01:00:36,170 --> 01:00:34,020 might see when you're looking out of the 1502 01:00:38,030 --> 01:00:36,180 cockpit is is sequels I don't think 1503 01:00:39,710 --> 01:00:38,040 that's an explanation for anything that 1504 01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:39,720 happened in the Nimitz encounter except 1505 01:00:43,190 --> 01:00:41,280 perhaps what people were looking at 1506 01:00:45,349 --> 01:00:43,200 through the binoculars from the ship 1507 01:00:47,809 --> 01:00:45,359 well what about what about the USS 1508 01:00:49,190 --> 01:00:47,819 Ronald Reagan incident with uh the giant 1509 01:00:51,349 --> 01:00:49,200 ball I don't know if you heard about 1510 01:00:54,289 --> 01:00:51,359 that one yeah I don't know that one yeah 1511 01:00:55,730 --> 01:00:54,299 oh yeah these Navy men saw like this 1512 01:00:57,589 --> 01:00:55,740 giant sort of 1513 01:00:59,990 --> 01:00:57,599 Fireball looking thing above the 1514 01:01:02,990 --> 01:01:00,000 aircraft carrier and um 1515 01:01:06,170 --> 01:01:03,000 anyway if you haven't yeah sorry I'm not 1516 01:01:07,849 --> 01:01:06,180 familiar with that one but uh who knows 1517 01:01:09,589 --> 01:01:07,859 you know someone in the chat just said 1518 01:01:12,049 --> 01:01:09,599 seagulls are to Mick West as swamp gas 1519 01:01:14,990 --> 01:01:12,059 was to heinek and I always bring this up 1520 01:01:16,430 --> 01:01:15,000 it is a very similar situation um the 1521 01:01:18,829 --> 01:01:16,440 whole the whole swamp gas thing came 1522 01:01:20,569 --> 01:01:18,839 about in 1966 when heineck was 1523 01:01:23,150 --> 01:01:20,579 investigating um Dexter Michigan in 1524 01:01:26,510 --> 01:01:23,160 Hillsdale during that 66 Michigan flap 1525 01:01:28,609 --> 01:01:26,520 when he proposed Marsh gas igniting 1526 01:01:31,069 --> 01:01:28,619 might account for some of the peripheral 1527 01:01:32,750 --> 01:01:31,079 sightings with the Prescott hold of it 1528 01:01:35,089 --> 01:01:32,760 and said oh heineck says this is all 1529 01:01:36,650 --> 01:01:35,099 swamp gas all these uh all these 1530 01:01:38,270 --> 01:01:36,660 sightings in Michigan are swamp guests 1531 01:01:40,490 --> 01:01:38,280 and that's eventually we've got the ball 1532 01:01:43,670 --> 01:01:40,500 rolling to the uh the common report but 1533 01:01:46,250 --> 01:01:43,680 it's it's the same thing well I would I 1534 01:01:48,530 --> 01:01:46,260 would recommend the the uh people look 1535 01:01:52,069 --> 01:01:48,540 at that uh press conference where he 1536 01:01:54,530 --> 01:01:52,079 talks about that exactly you can see him 1537 01:01:56,750 --> 01:01:54,540 going through great pains in the same 1538 01:01:58,190 --> 01:01:56,760 where the dye sometimes do uh on Twitter 1539 01:02:04,010 --> 01:01:58,200 now 1540 01:02:07,190 --> 01:02:04,020 the Press is about to LEAP onward out to 1541 01:02:10,730 --> 01:02:07,200 say and misinterpret it oh yeah so he he 1542 01:02:12,770 --> 01:02:10,740 very explicitly says that uh you know 1543 01:02:14,270 --> 01:02:12,780 I'm not suggesting that swamp gas is an 1544 01:02:15,829 --> 01:02:14,280 expedition for all of the other 1545 01:02:17,510 --> 01:02:15,839 sightings that people have seen or all 1546 01:02:19,849 --> 01:02:17,520 UFOs I'm just saying it applies 1547 01:02:21,710 --> 01:02:19,859 specifically to this case and this this 1548 01:02:24,170 --> 01:02:21,720 is here so it's just like I think there 1549 01:02:25,670 --> 01:02:24,180 was two some Farmers looking across the 1550 01:02:27,230 --> 01:02:25,680 swamp and maybe someone looking from the 1551 01:02:30,170 --> 01:02:27,240 other direction just those two things 1552 01:02:32,089 --> 01:02:30,180 thought were probably swamp gas and he 1553 01:02:35,930 --> 01:02:32,099 wasn't even definitive on that either 1554 01:02:40,010 --> 01:02:35,940 yeah of course now that's just the joke 1555 01:02:41,390 --> 01:02:40,020 that everything is swamp gas when all he 1556 01:02:42,829 --> 01:02:41,400 was saying was it's just this one thing 1557 01:02:45,710 --> 01:02:42,839 and you know the same thing happened 1558 01:02:47,089 --> 01:02:45,720 with the seagull thing people think that 1559 01:02:48,829 --> 01:02:47,099 you know I'm saying everything is a 1560 01:02:51,289 --> 01:02:48,839 seagull actually things quite actual 1561 01:02:53,270 --> 01:02:51,299 quite ass equals these this is like a 1562 01:02:55,549 --> 01:02:53,280 yeah an unfortunate uh thing is that 1563 01:02:58,069 --> 01:02:55,559 seagulls actually are responsible for a 1564 01:03:00,470 --> 01:02:58,079 number of your sightings that I have a 1565 01:03:03,230 --> 01:03:00,480 few edibunk classic examples where 1566 01:03:04,789 --> 01:03:03,240 there's some videos of UFOs and you 1567 01:03:07,970 --> 01:03:04,799 demonstrate they're actually seagulls 1568 01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:07,980 but not the Nimitz not the gimbal not go 1569 01:03:13,190 --> 01:03:10,079 fast the green pyramids were not 1570 01:03:16,370 --> 01:03:13,200 seagulls uh the only horse here was not 1571 01:03:18,650 --> 01:03:16,380 a seagull the the sphere is not a 1572 01:03:22,190 --> 01:03:18,660 seagull either so generally they're not 1573 01:03:23,630 --> 01:03:22,200 seagulls but sometimes yeah good segue 1574 01:03:26,809 --> 01:03:23,640 um maybe we should talk on the muscle 1575 01:03:29,210 --> 01:03:26,819 sphere or most so uh orb a little bit 1576 01:03:30,410 --> 01:03:29,220 which just dropped uh what what what's 1577 01:03:32,630 --> 01:03:30,420 your take from that because I I 1578 01:03:35,270 --> 01:03:32,640 personally am not impressed by a a still 1579 01:03:36,650 --> 01:03:35,280 frame of video but I'm sure you could 1580 01:03:37,670 --> 01:03:36,660 probably illustrate that a little better 1581 01:03:41,510 --> 01:03:37,680 than me 1582 01:03:43,670 --> 01:03:41,520 yeah uh there's not a long go by you 1583 01:03:46,069 --> 01:03:43,680 know it it looks like 1584 01:03:48,230 --> 01:03:46,079 something in front of camera 1585 01:03:50,510 --> 01:03:48,240 and you don't know how far away it is I 1586 01:03:51,770 --> 01:03:50,520 was talking about that earlier uh if you 1587 01:03:53,930 --> 01:03:51,780 don't know how big one thing is you 1588 01:03:56,089 --> 01:03:53,940 don't know how far away it is 1589 01:03:58,010 --> 01:03:56,099 so things can be very very small in 1590 01:03:59,750 --> 01:03:58,020 front of the camera like say oh I got a 1591 01:04:01,309 --> 01:03:59,760 little sphere here now if it's like you 1592 01:04:02,870 --> 01:04:01,319 know close to the camera looks like it's 1593 01:04:04,309 --> 01:04:02,880 on my head but if it's like you know 1594 01:04:07,250 --> 01:04:04,319 where you're here it's you know it looks 1595 01:04:09,410 --> 01:04:07,260 really small if you don't have an alien 1596 01:04:12,289 --> 01:04:09,420 spacecraft right here on your desk Mac 1597 01:04:16,309 --> 01:04:12,299 yeah I just uh I also have some pros on 1598 01:04:22,190 --> 01:04:16,319 my desk uh Michael Jackson see that yeah 1599 01:04:24,230 --> 01:04:22,200 it I think the Moses is 1600 01:04:26,809 --> 01:04:24,240 it's a low quality 1601 01:04:31,190 --> 01:04:26,819 UFO thing and I think the reason it's 1602 01:04:34,569 --> 01:04:31,200 being made much of by by Corbell is the 1603 01:04:38,270 --> 01:04:34,579 it comes from the task force 1604 01:04:42,170 --> 01:04:38,280 but apparently it comes from the same 1605 01:04:44,390 --> 01:04:42,180 briefing as the green triangles 1606 01:04:46,430 --> 01:04:44,400 and the green triangles we know were 1607 01:04:48,770 --> 01:04:46,440 released by Jeremy Corbell it's a great 1608 01:04:52,010 --> 01:04:48,780 Fanfare like a couple of years ago now 1609 01:04:56,150 --> 01:04:52,020 maybe a year ago and he said it was the 1610 01:04:59,470 --> 01:04:56,160 greatest UFO video of government origin 1611 01:05:03,770 --> 01:04:59,480 that has ever been released of all time 1612 01:05:07,609 --> 01:05:03,780 the best yeah and it wasn't it a video 1613 01:05:10,490 --> 01:05:07,619 of mostly stars and 1614 01:05:12,470 --> 01:05:10,500 um and probably a plane maybe a drone I 1615 01:05:14,270 --> 01:05:12,480 think it's a plane yeah some flashing 1616 01:05:16,430 --> 01:05:14,280 lights and it's this this thing called 1617 01:05:18,829 --> 01:05:16,440 bogey where everything's out of focus 1618 01:05:20,930 --> 01:05:18,839 and so the sort of light up as triangles 1619 01:05:23,210 --> 01:05:20,940 you know something that Corbell still 1620 01:05:26,930 --> 01:05:23,220 denies Coppell now has started saying 1621 01:05:28,789 --> 01:05:26,940 that pyramids are a common shape of UFOs 1622 01:05:31,549 --> 01:05:28,799 you know it's an interesting podcast 1623 01:05:33,470 --> 01:05:31,559 it's you know it's kind of ridiculous so 1624 01:05:36,589 --> 01:05:33,480 consider source is what I'm saying here 1625 01:05:39,230 --> 01:05:36,599 the source of this this mosul hope thing 1626 01:05:41,150 --> 01:05:39,240 is Corbell right and it was leaked to 1627 01:05:43,549 --> 01:05:41,160 him by the same Source probably who sent 1628 01:05:45,109 --> 01:05:43,559 him this this green triangle thing 1629 01:05:47,990 --> 01:05:45,119 so I mean I could mean a couple of 1630 01:05:50,210 --> 01:05:48,000 things yeah it could mean maybe Corbell 1631 01:05:52,370 --> 01:05:50,220 isn't very Discerning it could mean that 1632 01:05:55,069 --> 01:05:52,380 the guy who sent him this this thing is 1633 01:05:57,470 --> 01:05:55,079 not very Discerning he could be in the 1634 01:06:01,250 --> 01:05:57,480 UAP task force itself 1635 01:06:04,190 --> 01:06:01,260 uh very good yeah back in the day back 1636 01:06:06,530 --> 01:06:04,200 when uh Travis Taylor was the informal 1637 01:06:09,410 --> 01:06:06,540 cheese scientist and Stratton was was 1638 01:06:11,089 --> 01:06:09,420 was running it it could be in the you 1639 01:06:12,829 --> 01:06:11,099 know they weren't doing a verge of 1640 01:06:15,470 --> 01:06:12,839 identifying things and so they see 1641 01:06:16,970 --> 01:06:15,480 things like this what's probably some 1642 01:06:19,069 --> 01:06:16,980 kind of balloon or something like that 1643 01:06:21,650 --> 01:06:19,079 like long and muscle 1644 01:06:23,210 --> 01:06:21,660 and it gets into this UFO and you know 1645 01:06:24,710 --> 01:06:23,220 it gets promoted being this amazing 1646 01:06:26,270 --> 01:06:24,720 thing when there's really very little to 1647 01:06:28,309 --> 01:06:26,280 go by other than just something that 1648 01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:28,319 drifts across the field of view 1649 01:06:32,690 --> 01:06:30,240 uh so I think it's the same type of 1650 01:06:33,890 --> 01:06:32,700 thing as with the green triangle you 1651 01:06:36,289 --> 01:06:33,900 know something that 1652 01:06:38,329 --> 01:06:36,299 somebody thought amazing but probably 1653 01:06:40,370 --> 01:06:38,339 isn't 1654 01:06:41,750 --> 01:06:40,380 hey uh we were talking backstage a 1655 01:06:43,609 --> 01:06:41,760 little earlier and it the first thing it 1656 01:06:45,890 --> 01:06:43,619 reminded me of was the video that they 1657 01:06:47,630 --> 01:06:45,900 were trying to pause in the uh the 1658 01:06:49,370 --> 01:06:47,640 Congressional UFO hearings that were 1659 01:06:55,630 --> 01:06:49,380 publicized I think last year the year 1660 01:07:01,670 --> 01:06:59,390 that video is probably a lot better than 1661 01:07:04,010 --> 01:07:01,680 you know the the mosul video or the 1662 01:07:05,630 --> 01:07:04,020 mosul frame we don't actually have you 1663 01:07:07,970 --> 01:07:05,640 know if we had video we could do a lot 1664 01:07:09,829 --> 01:07:07,980 more like at least with you know we have 1665 01:07:12,049 --> 01:07:09,839 the that the one they show in the 1666 01:07:14,089 --> 01:07:12,059 hearing only have three frames which is 1667 01:07:16,670 --> 01:07:14,099 why it was a harder to stop it because 1668 01:07:19,010 --> 01:07:16,680 they were using the which doesn't have a 1669 01:07:20,690 --> 01:07:19,020 frame advance so they had to like stop 1670 01:07:22,609 --> 01:07:20,700 exactly the right time 1671 01:07:25,250 --> 01:07:22,619 but you know you can actually tell some 1672 01:07:27,349 --> 01:07:25,260 trajectory of this object you can Right 1673 01:07:28,910 --> 01:07:27,359 freeze it and you can see how the the 1674 01:07:31,670 --> 01:07:28,920 Highlight changes slightly differently 1675 01:07:34,069 --> 01:07:31,680 between frames uh um which means you 1676 01:07:35,809 --> 01:07:34,079 know the angle's changing and you can 1677 01:07:38,210 --> 01:07:35,819 tell the the Highlight itself is 1678 01:07:39,289 --> 01:07:38,220 actually out of focus the whole thing's 1679 01:07:41,329 --> 01:07:39,299 out of focus it's probably just a 1680 01:07:43,430 --> 01:07:41,339 balloon but with one single frame 1681 01:07:46,010 --> 01:07:43,440 there's a lot of information you don't 1682 01:07:48,289 --> 01:07:46,020 have any time variant you can't actually 1683 01:07:49,849 --> 01:07:48,299 tell like how things are changing you 1684 01:07:52,549 --> 01:07:49,859 don't know which direction is moving or 1685 01:07:53,809 --> 01:07:52,559 how fast it's moving motion blur in it 1686 01:07:55,670 --> 01:07:53,819 but we don't know what the frame rate of 1687 01:07:58,309 --> 01:07:55,680 the camera is or the exposure time of 1688 01:08:01,849 --> 01:07:58,319 the camera uh so it's there's not a lot 1689 01:08:04,370 --> 01:08:01,859 we can go by yeah and yeah we've seen 1690 01:08:07,150 --> 01:08:04,380 things like this before on Google Earth 1691 01:08:09,650 --> 01:08:07,160 uh you can actually see occasionally 1692 01:08:11,390 --> 01:08:09,660 what looks like something very similar 1693 01:08:15,109 --> 01:08:11,400 appears in front of the camera a few 1694 01:08:18,470 --> 01:08:15,119 places uh in in near Palm Beach Florida 1695 01:08:21,530 --> 01:08:18,480 the there is uh there's the these all 1696 01:08:25,370 --> 01:08:21,540 the like giant orbs in the sky uh in in 1697 01:08:26,930 --> 01:08:25,380 the 2002 imagery uh but yeah but it's 1698 01:08:27,769 --> 01:08:26,940 probably something that's into the 1699 01:08:30,050 --> 01:08:27,779 camera 1700 01:08:31,309 --> 01:08:30,060 and I think you know it's the same type 1701 01:08:33,050 --> 01:08:31,319 of thing in the muzzle thing we don't 1702 01:08:34,729 --> 01:08:33,060 know what it is uh it's gonna look 1703 01:08:35,749 --> 01:08:34,739 particularly interesting 1704 01:08:37,249 --> 01:08:35,759 this 1705 01:08:40,309 --> 01:08:37,259 there's an interesting thing that 1706 01:08:44,030 --> 01:08:40,319 happens with rare natural phenomena 1707 01:08:47,930 --> 01:08:44,040 where any individual instance of 1708 01:08:50,570 --> 01:08:47,940 observing it ends up being less likely 1709 01:08:53,209 --> 01:08:50,580 that it was the very rare thing then it 1710 01:08:55,370 --> 01:08:53,219 is a more prosaic thing and therefore 1711 01:08:58,130 --> 01:08:55,380 there's been a long history of natural 1712 01:08:59,809 --> 01:08:58,140 phenomena that are very rare we touched 1713 01:09:02,630 --> 01:08:59,819 on them briefly that we're not uh 1714 01:09:04,430 --> 01:09:02,640 verified sufficiently although there 1715 01:09:06,169 --> 01:09:04,440 were decades or even sometimes centuries 1716 01:09:07,910 --> 01:09:06,179 of relatively accurate eyewitness 1717 01:09:09,349 --> 01:09:07,920 reports leading up to that verification 1718 01:09:11,390 --> 01:09:09,359 and obviously we need to wait for that 1719 01:09:13,669 --> 01:09:11,400 verification and I'm just going with 1720 01:09:16,789 --> 01:09:13,679 this question uh back to JL and heineck 1721 01:09:19,010 --> 01:09:16,799 for a second because he uh in the 1722 01:09:21,950 --> 01:09:19,020 starting in the 50s uh started 1723 01:09:25,309 --> 01:09:21,960 speculating that uh UFOs might represent 1724 01:09:27,590 --> 01:09:25,319 a novel atmospheric phenomenon he dubbed 1725 01:09:29,870 --> 01:09:27,600 nocturnal Meandering lights and we know 1726 01:09:33,050 --> 01:09:29,880 that his descriptions of the eyewitness 1727 01:09:35,689 --> 01:09:33,060 reports are consistent with the features 1728 01:09:38,630 --> 01:09:35,699 of modern uh lab reproducible 1729 01:09:41,870 --> 01:09:38,640 lightning-like phenomena and we also 1730 01:09:43,849 --> 01:09:41,880 have the CIA reports saying that they 1731 01:09:45,709 --> 01:09:43,859 think that they're this kind of Novel 1732 01:09:48,189 --> 01:09:45,719 atmospheric Phenomenon with these 1733 01:09:50,450 --> 01:09:48,199 features so so 1734 01:09:53,150 --> 01:09:50,460 just if I can just finish with one set 1735 01:09:54,350 --> 01:09:53,160 if we look at Old Blue book reports this 1736 01:09:56,270 --> 01:09:54,360 is where I'm going 1737 01:09:58,490 --> 01:09:56,280 if we look at Old Blue book reports that 1738 01:10:00,410 --> 01:09:58,500 include multiple eyewitnesses radar and 1739 01:10:03,110 --> 01:10:00,420 all this stuff of objects with features 1740 01:10:06,189 --> 01:10:03,120 that are described with the same way as 1741 01:10:08,930 --> 01:10:06,199 the Nimitz Tic Tac the report actually 1742 01:10:10,850 --> 01:10:08,940 consistently a spec like Minot and such 1743 01:10:12,530 --> 01:10:10,860 a few others they say they think that 1744 01:10:14,870 --> 01:10:12,540 it's a kind of ball lightning and they 1745 01:10:15,530 --> 01:10:14,880 actually it'll end on that conclusion 1746 01:10:18,110 --> 01:10:15,540 um 1747 01:10:21,229 --> 01:10:18,120 why do you think it is that we don't see 1748 01:10:23,870 --> 01:10:21,239 that kind of uh conclusion sort of being 1749 01:10:25,250 --> 01:10:23,880 introduced even in the prime like in the 1750 01:10:27,950 --> 01:10:25,260 mainstream conversation well isn't that 1751 01:10:30,290 --> 01:10:27,960 a feature at all I think uh the bull 1752 01:10:34,669 --> 01:10:30,300 lightning explanation is something that 1753 01:10:36,229 --> 01:10:34,679 some people latch onto as being a nice 1754 01:10:38,330 --> 01:10:36,239 sounding explanation 1755 01:10:41,090 --> 01:10:38,340 yeah yeah I'm probably including you in 1756 01:10:43,370 --> 01:10:41,100 this uh that it sounds like this is your 1757 01:10:45,950 --> 01:10:43,380 favorite explanation for for a lot of 1758 01:10:48,410 --> 01:10:45,960 UFOs yeah there's nothing wrong you're a 1759 01:10:50,870 --> 01:10:48,420 plasma guy Campbell well I'll respond to 1760 01:10:53,270 --> 01:10:50,880 that happily in a moment yeah yeah and I 1761 01:10:55,250 --> 01:10:53,280 think that's something that happens with 1762 01:10:58,310 --> 01:10:55,260 um with other people with Scientists you 1763 01:11:01,189 --> 01:10:58,320 know people when their area of expertise 1764 01:11:04,910 --> 01:11:01,199 is a particular domain they tend to look 1765 01:11:07,250 --> 01:11:04,920 at things in that context they tend to 1766 01:11:09,050 --> 01:11:07,260 use you know they they they explain 1767 01:11:09,770 --> 01:11:09,060 things 1768 01:11:12,530 --> 01:11:09,780 um 1769 01:11:14,750 --> 01:11:12,540 you know as big a result of whatever 1770 01:11:19,790 --> 01:11:14,760 their area expertise is 1771 01:11:21,410 --> 01:11:19,800 uh and I I think that there 1772 01:11:22,910 --> 01:11:21,420 lots of other people with different area 1773 01:11:24,530 --> 01:11:22,920 of expertise 1774 01:11:26,450 --> 01:11:24,540 and with different different 1775 01:11:29,990 --> 01:11:26,460 perspectives on you know what the the 1776 01:11:32,330 --> 01:11:30,000 totality the evidence the uh showed and 1777 01:11:35,030 --> 01:11:32,340 they don't some reason you know rotate 1778 01:11:36,950 --> 01:11:35,040 towards uh plasma effects or lightning 1779 01:11:38,990 --> 01:11:36,960 effects and I think a lot of the people 1780 01:11:40,370 --> 01:11:39,000 even are you know experts in that type 1781 01:11:43,729 --> 01:11:40,380 of thing they're not particularly 1782 01:11:46,070 --> 01:11:43,739 interested in the UF aspects of it and I 1783 01:11:48,350 --> 01:11:46,080 think it boils down really to the actual 1784 01:11:50,689 --> 01:11:48,360 evidence that we have and you know 1785 01:11:54,530 --> 01:11:50,699 partly with you know with ball lightning 1786 01:11:56,450 --> 01:11:54,540 Etc you know these are luminous events 1787 01:11:58,729 --> 01:11:56,460 and they're the type of things that we 1788 01:12:02,270 --> 01:11:58,739 should be able to capture on on video 1789 01:12:05,330 --> 01:12:02,280 and we've got things now like meteorite 1790 01:12:07,729 --> 01:12:05,340 cameras uh full Sky meteorite cameras 1791 01:12:11,450 --> 01:12:07,739 around the world that are recording the 1792 01:12:13,790 --> 01:12:11,460 sky and there don't seem to be carrying 1793 01:12:14,930 --> 01:12:13,800 these you know these meowing nocturnal 1794 01:12:17,330 --> 01:12:14,940 lights 1795 01:12:19,669 --> 01:12:17,340 and we've also people with with cameras 1796 01:12:22,430 --> 01:12:19,679 and they don't seem to be any 1797 01:12:24,530 --> 01:12:22,440 particularly ambiguous nocturnal 1798 01:12:25,970 --> 01:12:24,540 Meandering lights either coming from 1799 01:12:27,410 --> 01:12:25,980 them you know there's lots of lights in 1800 01:12:29,510 --> 01:12:27,420 the sky which we can't tell what they 1801 01:12:32,630 --> 01:12:29,520 are but you know other things that are 1802 01:12:34,790 --> 01:12:32,640 you know only consistent with plan 1803 01:12:37,130 --> 01:12:34,800 it's something that seems to check boxes 1804 01:12:39,709 --> 01:12:37,140 and I think when people feel like the 1805 01:12:42,410 --> 01:12:39,719 checks enough boxes then you know they 1806 01:12:45,910 --> 01:12:42,420 kind of go in on that explanation but I 1807 01:12:48,470 --> 01:12:45,920 think really uh it doesn't hold up to 1808 01:12:51,229 --> 01:12:48,480 evidence uh 1809 01:12:54,110 --> 01:12:51,239 well uh that's okay so uh let me just 1810 01:12:56,209 --> 01:12:54,120 respond briefly um you suggested that I 1811 01:12:58,669 --> 01:12:56,219 um like the ball lightning explanation 1812 01:13:02,390 --> 01:12:58,679 and I would love to just explain to you 1813 01:13:04,910 --> 01:13:02,400 that I am a lifelong atheist materialist 1814 01:13:07,130 --> 01:13:04,920 I have no interest in atmospheric 1815 01:13:09,290 --> 01:13:07,140 phenomena whatsoever I have never had 1816 01:13:10,490 --> 01:13:09,300 any interest in any paranormal subject 1817 01:13:12,550 --> 01:13:10,500 whatsoever 1818 01:13:14,209 --> 01:13:12,560 I was curious about why government 1819 01:13:16,130 --> 01:13:14,219 members of the American government 1820 01:13:18,950 --> 01:13:16,140 started talking about UFOs that's why I 1821 01:13:22,729 --> 01:13:18,960 looked into this and so when I looked at 1822 01:13:26,450 --> 01:13:22,739 Wells researched Declassified internal 1823 01:13:29,050 --> 01:13:26,460 government reports that were produced to 1824 01:13:31,610 --> 01:13:29,060 brief top leadership we see at the CIA 1825 01:13:33,590 --> 01:13:31,620 U.S Air Force and the UK Ministry of 1826 01:13:37,070 --> 01:13:33,600 defense that these sincerely produce 1827 01:13:38,990 --> 01:13:37,080 reports internally all independently 1828 01:13:40,729 --> 01:13:39,000 brief top leadership that they think 1829 01:13:42,770 --> 01:13:40,739 that UFOs with the features of 1830 01:13:44,570 --> 01:13:42,780 traditional eyewitness reports are a 1831 01:13:46,729 --> 01:13:44,580 novel kind of ball lightning producing 1832 01:13:48,770 --> 01:13:46,739 these effects in the sky that was 1833 01:13:51,890 --> 01:13:48,780 surprising to me I don't want that to be 1834 01:13:53,990 --> 01:13:51,900 true I don't care if UFOs are real and 1835 01:13:54,709 --> 01:13:54,000 if they are real I don't care what they 1836 01:13:56,930 --> 01:13:54,719 are 1837 01:14:01,189 --> 01:13:56,940 the reason I got into this actually is 1838 01:14:03,530 --> 01:14:01,199 because when I went on metabunk and 1839 01:14:06,290 --> 01:14:03,540 posted dozens of peer-reviewed 1840 01:14:08,330 --> 01:14:06,300 prestigious physics papers describing 1841 01:14:11,090 --> 01:14:08,340 phenomena with the exact same features 1842 01:14:13,130 --> 01:14:11,100 as traditional eyewitness reports you 1843 01:14:15,950 --> 01:14:13,140 personally blocked that from being 1844 01:14:18,410 --> 01:14:15,960 posted on metabunk and I was so curious 1845 01:14:19,910 --> 01:14:18,420 and shocked as a skeptic that this 1846 01:14:22,669 --> 01:14:19,920 subject side of it wasn't being 1847 01:14:25,310 --> 01:14:22,679 discussed that that's what drove me into 1848 01:14:26,750 --> 01:14:25,320 it is to understand what's happening and 1849 01:14:28,550 --> 01:14:26,760 so I just want you to understand that 1850 01:14:29,930 --> 01:14:28,560 that's how where I'm coming from I truly 1851 01:14:31,970 --> 01:14:29,940 don't care about ball lightning and I 1852 01:14:34,550 --> 01:14:31,980 don't like it I have no interest in it 1853 01:14:35,990 --> 01:14:34,560 outside of this psychological component 1854 01:14:39,169 --> 01:14:36,000 of this subject 1855 01:14:40,910 --> 01:14:39,179 yeah I mean you you know looked at us 1856 01:14:45,050 --> 01:14:40,920 you aesthetically or anything like that 1857 01:14:47,390 --> 01:14:45,060 I meant that you you think that it's uh 1858 01:14:50,990 --> 01:14:47,400 a highly plausible explanation is 1859 01:14:53,810 --> 01:14:51,000 significance I don't know I'm not a 1860 01:14:55,910 --> 01:14:53,820 scientist uh I'm not uh so I'm not a 1861 01:14:58,729 --> 01:14:55,920 government agent so if I if I just 1862 01:14:59,870 --> 01:14:58,739 report that dozens of peer-reviewed 1863 01:15:01,250 --> 01:14:59,880 papers this is something I find so 1864 01:15:03,830 --> 01:15:01,260 interesting when I say that there's a 1865 01:15:05,330 --> 01:15:03,840 lot of Skeptics they say yes but when I 1866 01:15:06,890 --> 01:15:05,340 first heard that there were dozens of 1867 01:15:08,270 --> 01:15:06,900 peer-reviewed prestigious physics papers 1868 01:15:09,709 --> 01:15:08,280 describing objects with the same 1869 01:15:13,130 --> 01:15:09,719 features as traditional eyewitness 1870 01:15:15,709 --> 01:15:13,140 reports of UFOs I got curious and I read 1871 01:15:17,510 --> 01:15:15,719 them because I thought that was wild and 1872 01:15:19,370 --> 01:15:17,520 that's the thing that I find so neat 1873 01:15:21,950 --> 01:15:19,380 about the skeptic Community is that they 1874 01:15:23,149 --> 01:15:21,960 are like yes but and I think there's 1875 01:15:25,910 --> 01:15:23,159 something there that we should really 1876 01:15:28,370 --> 01:15:25,920 lean into all right well yeah the reason 1877 01:15:31,070 --> 01:15:28,380 I would have deleted from that bank is 1878 01:15:34,310 --> 01:15:31,080 the all metabolic look into individual 1879 01:15:36,530 --> 01:15:34,320 claims of evidence uh like we said 1880 01:15:38,390 --> 01:15:36,540 there's a particular case of a UFO or 1881 01:15:39,770 --> 01:15:38,400 there's a particular thing that happened 1882 01:15:42,470 --> 01:15:39,780 and there's a particular claim of 1883 01:15:45,709 --> 01:15:42,480 evidence and if you just put a large 1884 01:15:48,169 --> 01:15:45,719 tranche of peppers there that's not 1885 01:15:50,810 --> 01:15:48,179 really what the bank is about 1886 01:15:52,850 --> 01:15:50,820 that's fair the what the thing you 1887 01:15:55,070 --> 01:15:52,860 selected uh just to say the thing you 1888 01:15:57,229 --> 01:15:55,080 selected was not a single uh claim of 1889 01:15:59,149 --> 01:15:57,239 evidence was cited and it's like all 1890 01:16:02,090 --> 01:15:59,159 directly so that's what freaked me out a 1891 01:16:04,550 --> 01:16:02,100 little bit right but that means that you 1892 01:16:06,770 --> 01:16:04,560 put lots of claims of events 1893 01:16:08,330 --> 01:16:06,780 uh what we want is one claim of evidence 1894 01:16:10,669 --> 01:16:08,340 and then we can examine that claim of 1895 01:16:13,370 --> 01:16:10,679 evidence so I guess your confidence 1896 01:16:15,350 --> 01:16:13,380 would be that there's so many claims of 1897 01:16:17,510 --> 01:16:15,360 evidence that there must be something to 1898 01:16:21,470 --> 01:16:17,520 it but that's kind of like they picking 1899 01:16:24,530 --> 01:16:21,480 up all the uh papers on you know the 1900 01:16:26,570 --> 01:16:24,540 Extraterrestrial citation hypothesis and 1901 01:16:28,550 --> 01:16:26,580 saying that's evidence that aliens are 1902 01:16:32,090 --> 01:16:28,560 visitors well wait wait sorry are you 1903 01:16:34,250 --> 01:16:32,100 aware that in 2014 in physical review 1904 01:16:36,530 --> 01:16:34,260 letters the optical and spectral 1905 01:16:38,870 --> 01:16:36,540 characteristics of ball lightning was 1906 01:16:41,030 --> 01:16:38,880 published verifying the existence of 1907 01:16:43,490 --> 01:16:41,040 ball lightning through Optical and 1908 01:16:45,950 --> 01:16:43,500 spectral video resolution from a remote 1909 01:16:47,630 --> 01:16:45,960 sensor system by professional scientists 1910 01:16:49,910 --> 01:16:47,640 and that has not been challenged it's 1911 01:16:52,490 --> 01:16:49,920 actually been accepted you know I'm not 1912 01:16:54,169 --> 01:16:52,500 I'm not denying bull lying I don't think 1913 01:16:57,709 --> 01:16:54,179 bull lightning is some kind of a natural 1914 01:17:00,050 --> 01:16:57,719 thing like like ghosts I think bowling 1915 01:17:01,669 --> 01:17:00,060 is a high plausible linear scientific 1916 01:17:04,330 --> 01:17:01,679 phenomena I thought that there actually 1917 01:17:07,669 --> 01:17:04,340 was evidence that it exists 1918 01:17:09,470 --> 01:17:07,679 uh but I don't know that there's good 1919 01:17:11,570 --> 01:17:09,480 evidence that it explains loads and 1920 01:17:13,850 --> 01:17:11,580 loads of UFO cases you know what's the 1921 01:17:16,729 --> 01:17:13,860 frequency of ball like how often do 1922 01:17:17,810 --> 01:17:16,739 people uh see it why we see it on all 1923 01:17:20,990 --> 01:17:17,820 these cameras 1924 01:17:22,149 --> 01:17:21,000 yeah it's uh like 1925 01:17:25,250 --> 01:17:22,159 it's it's 1926 01:17:27,709 --> 01:17:25,260 like you've been 1927 01:17:31,910 --> 01:17:27,719 convinced by the weighted evidence and 1928 01:17:33,590 --> 01:17:31,920 by specific claims evidence but uh I 1929 01:17:35,390 --> 01:17:33,600 guess it's for some reason it didn't 1930 01:17:38,330 --> 01:17:35,400 seem particularly compelling to me when 1931 01:17:40,669 --> 01:17:38,340 you you made your post but I don't know 1932 01:17:42,169 --> 01:17:40,679 maybe maybe we can do this uh offline 1933 01:17:44,330 --> 01:17:42,179 and try again 1934 01:17:52,010 --> 01:17:44,340 no that's fine no I don't honestly 1935 01:17:57,890 --> 01:17:54,709 I care about the uh I care about the 1936 01:18:00,310 --> 01:17:57,900 direction of the conversation broadly 1937 01:18:03,110 --> 01:18:00,320 and I care about the underlying 1938 01:18:04,669 --> 01:18:03,120 psychology involved for all of us myself 1939 01:18:07,010 --> 01:18:04,679 included 1940 01:18:09,290 --> 01:18:07,020 um I don't care about the UFO subject 1941 01:18:13,189 --> 01:18:09,300 itself genuinely 1942 01:18:15,410 --> 01:18:13,199 I I don't know about that 1943 01:18:17,930 --> 01:18:15,420 why are you here come on why 1944 01:18:19,610 --> 01:18:17,940 specifically are you on a UFO podcast if 1945 01:18:22,610 --> 01:18:19,620 you don't care about UFOs it's just a 1946 01:18:28,130 --> 01:18:22,620 generous because I am such a charismatic 1947 01:18:31,610 --> 01:18:30,470 I mean you'd be amazed how far I can get 1948 01:18:32,330 --> 01:18:31,620 back 1949 01:18:35,990 --> 01:18:32,340 um 1950 01:18:38,030 --> 01:18:36,000 so I'm gonna break off oh sure can I 1951 01:18:40,250 --> 01:18:38,040 just like okay just say something else 1952 01:18:43,189 --> 01:18:40,260 there I mean I I appreciate your point 1953 01:18:45,890 --> 01:18:43,199 that there are you know um 1954 01:18:48,110 --> 01:18:45,900 things in history where things have been 1955 01:18:50,689 --> 01:18:48,120 observed and scientists have rejected 1956 01:18:52,310 --> 01:18:50,699 them you know this has happened a lot 1957 01:18:54,410 --> 01:18:52,320 and one of the more recent ones is 1958 01:18:57,350 --> 01:18:54,420 meteorite that rocks falling from the 1959 01:18:59,750 --> 01:18:57,360 sky and they were something that people 1960 01:19:01,669 --> 01:18:59,760 basically said didn't didn't exist and 1961 01:19:03,830 --> 01:19:01,679 all these these tail rocks falling from 1962 01:19:05,570 --> 01:19:03,840 the sky was like folk Legends or hoaxes 1963 01:19:07,430 --> 01:19:05,580 and then you know eventually we figured 1964 01:19:10,370 --> 01:19:07,440 out that it was a real thing 1965 01:19:12,110 --> 01:19:10,380 so I mean I take the point that that you 1966 01:19:14,810 --> 01:19:12,120 know perhaps there's a new physics 1967 01:19:16,310 --> 01:19:14,820 phenomena that we haven't uh discovered 1968 01:19:18,950 --> 01:19:16,320 and perhaps we're not paying enough 1969 01:19:23,090 --> 01:19:18,960 attention to it because it seems uh 1970 01:19:25,070 --> 01:19:23,100 outrageous uh but yeah 1971 01:19:27,350 --> 01:19:25,080 yeah I just you know I can't really say 1972 01:19:31,189 --> 01:19:27,360 much more than that it hasn't really you 1973 01:19:32,270 --> 01:19:31,199 know passed my my um my radar into the 1974 01:19:34,370 --> 01:19:32,280 interesting 1975 01:19:36,770 --> 01:19:34,380 at but yeah I do understand what you're 1976 01:19:38,510 --> 01:19:36,780 saying yeah and not every weird thing 1977 01:19:40,250 --> 01:19:38,520 that someone sees is the next meteorite 1978 01:19:42,350 --> 01:19:40,260 either we have to keep that in mind I 1979 01:19:44,330 --> 01:19:42,360 know yeah a lot of Believers like to 1980 01:19:46,250 --> 01:19:44,340 bring up uh meteorites in that fashion 1981 01:19:49,070 --> 01:19:46,260 yeah and they also like to bring up like 1982 01:19:51,470 --> 01:19:49,080 the uh the three stages of uh Scientific 1983 01:19:53,450 --> 01:19:51,480 Revolution type things you know first 1984 01:19:56,689 --> 01:19:53,460 they laugh at you then they fight you 1985 01:19:58,970 --> 01:19:56,699 and then you sure uh but then the first 1986 01:20:00,410 --> 01:19:58,980 day first they left you a place to all 1987 01:20:02,990 --> 01:20:00,420 the things that are complete [\h__\h] as 1988 01:20:03,950 --> 01:20:03,000 well yeah so just because we're just 1989 01:20:05,990 --> 01:20:03,960 because people are laughing at you 1990 01:20:10,209 --> 01:20:06,000 doesn't mean you're right 1991 01:20:15,470 --> 01:20:13,490 s to ball lightning and their supposed 1992 01:20:18,229 --> 01:20:15,480 effects in official government 1993 01:20:20,330 --> 01:20:18,239 documentation where they are um kind of 1994 01:20:22,490 --> 01:20:20,340 implying certain characteristics of ball 1995 01:20:25,010 --> 01:20:22,500 lightning that aren't known to be true 1996 01:20:27,530 --> 01:20:25,020 or uh replicable in any way I mean these 1997 01:20:29,270 --> 01:20:27,540 were old these were in the 50s but 1998 01:20:30,709 --> 01:20:29,280 so yeah I mean it's out there it's an 1999 01:20:32,570 --> 01:20:30,719 interesting idea 2000 01:20:34,189 --> 01:20:32,580 um that case I've been working on I 2001 01:20:37,790 --> 01:20:34,199 think it does like Mick was saying check 2002 01:20:40,850 --> 01:20:37,800 boxes so I do like it as opposed to like 2003 01:20:43,010 --> 01:20:40,860 any situation or any uh theory that I'm 2004 01:20:45,169 --> 01:20:43,020 not coming up with but it's it's 2005 01:20:46,970 --> 01:20:45,179 something I think that was interesting I 2006 01:20:49,070 --> 01:20:46,980 until I talked to Campbell I didn't even 2007 01:20:51,350 --> 01:20:49,080 know that uh well I think had been 2008 01:20:53,209 --> 01:20:51,360 captured unfilmed and confirmed until uh 2009 01:20:55,729 --> 01:20:53,219 2014 was it 2010 01:20:58,550 --> 01:20:55,739 yeah that's right yeah so anyway I I do 2011 01:21:01,430 --> 01:20:58,560 think it's personally interesting and it 2012 01:21:02,390 --> 01:21:01,440 you know UFOs are a multitude of things 2013 01:21:04,910 --> 01:21:02,400 so 2014 01:21:11,630 --> 01:21:04,920 I think this could have uh fit a couple 2015 01:21:18,350 --> 01:21:15,110 do we have any more chat question now oh 2016 01:21:20,570 --> 01:21:18,360 fine I I have a Leah question Nick 2017 01:21:22,189 --> 01:21:20,580 um yeah so this is I'm not going to be 2018 01:21:23,750 --> 01:21:22,199 asking the technical questions I'm much 2019 01:21:26,270 --> 01:21:23,760 more concerned I think with the more 2020 01:21:27,890 --> 01:21:26,280 subjective questions this evening 2021 01:21:29,770 --> 01:21:27,900 um so one of the issues I consider when 2022 01:21:31,729 --> 01:21:29,780 engaging in this subject of ufology 2023 01:21:33,110 --> 01:21:31,739 conspiracy theory I mean [\h__\h] I'm 2024 01:21:35,390 --> 01:21:33,120 writing a book about Art Bell and Coast 2025 01:21:37,850 --> 01:21:35,400 to Coast and its impact on kind of 2026 01:21:39,890 --> 01:21:37,860 culture and media right now 2027 01:21:42,110 --> 01:21:39,900 um it is 2028 01:21:43,910 --> 01:21:42,120 um basically how these conversations and 2029 01:21:46,010 --> 01:21:43,920 engagement with this subject contribute 2030 01:21:48,169 --> 01:21:46,020 to what's effectively an epistemological 2031 01:21:49,790 --> 01:21:48,179 crisis like this unwinding of consensus 2032 01:21:51,590 --> 01:21:49,800 reality 2033 01:21:53,510 --> 01:21:51,600 um and how it's affecting and polarizing 2034 01:21:56,570 --> 01:21:53,520 not only our culture but our politics 2035 01:21:58,130 --> 01:21:56,580 and our sense of shared experience 2036 01:21:59,930 --> 01:21:58,140 um so make I'm very curious what your 2037 01:22:02,030 --> 01:21:59,940 advice would be for how to engage with 2038 01:22:03,709 --> 01:22:02,040 the subject in a good faith manner while 2039 01:22:04,910 --> 01:22:03,719 also being mindful about its 2040 01:22:07,430 --> 01:22:04,920 contribution 2041 01:22:10,669 --> 01:22:07,440 um to just like the greater cultural 2042 01:22:13,669 --> 01:22:10,679 tenor and uh polarization 2043 01:22:16,130 --> 01:22:13,679 hmm I 2044 01:22:20,090 --> 01:22:16,140 I don't personally think that there's a 2045 01:22:23,570 --> 01:22:20,100 great risk of cultural upheaval 2046 01:22:27,189 --> 01:22:23,580 um talking about it if it's not real 2047 01:22:29,870 --> 01:22:27,199 uh I think you know if aliens arrive 2048 01:22:31,970 --> 01:22:29,880 uh or that we discover even this alien 2049 01:22:33,470 --> 01:22:31,980 life on another planet that could be a 2050 01:22:35,930 --> 01:22:33,480 major disruptive thing in society 2051 01:22:37,930 --> 01:22:35,940 because it changes our perception of the 2052 01:22:41,149 --> 01:22:37,940 universe 2053 01:22:43,430 --> 01:22:41,159 speaking in a strictly literal sense I'm 2054 01:22:45,790 --> 01:22:43,440 speaking more as part of a larger 2055 01:22:47,870 --> 01:22:45,800 Pastiche of 2056 01:22:50,090 --> 01:22:47,880 narratives that are generally 2057 01:22:52,790 --> 01:22:50,100 promulgated in far-right media that 2058 01:22:55,790 --> 01:22:52,800 undermine kind of public confidence and 2059 01:22:58,370 --> 01:22:55,800 Trust in institutions okay 2060 01:23:00,649 --> 01:22:58,380 uh yeah hmm 2061 01:23:03,050 --> 01:23:00,659 it's a key one because you know I I'm a 2062 01:23:05,270 --> 01:23:03,060 skeptic so I encourage questioning and 2063 01:23:07,610 --> 01:23:05,280 asking for evidence uh which means you 2064 01:23:09,229 --> 01:23:07,620 can't blindly trust everything that 2065 01:23:10,970 --> 01:23:09,239 comes into the government you can't 2066 01:23:13,630 --> 01:23:10,980 blindly trust what the Pentagon says 2067 01:23:16,490 --> 01:23:13,640 about UFOs and you can't blindly trust 2068 01:23:18,770 --> 01:23:16,500 uh you know every single thing that the 2069 01:23:21,530 --> 01:23:18,780 government says about about 2070 01:23:25,970 --> 01:23:21,540 yeah we know that the made mistakes 2071 01:23:29,090 --> 01:23:25,980 before but I think you know we need to 2072 01:23:31,490 --> 01:23:29,100 encourage people who try to use high 2073 01:23:33,110 --> 01:23:31,500 quality instances and to use high 2074 01:23:34,729 --> 01:23:33,120 quality methodologies in making a 2075 01:23:36,410 --> 01:23:34,739 decision which obviously the average 2076 01:23:39,229 --> 01:23:36,420 person isn't going to be thinking about 2077 01:23:41,810 --> 01:23:39,239 you know what's my modology here but I 2078 01:23:43,970 --> 01:23:41,820 think there is a of getting around that 2079 01:23:45,410 --> 01:23:43,980 you know ways of encouraged people to to 2080 01:23:47,570 --> 01:23:45,420 check their sources 2081 01:23:50,689 --> 01:23:47,580 uh that 2082 01:23:52,490 --> 01:23:50,699 um you know that's necessarily mean that 2083 01:23:54,770 --> 01:23:52,500 everybody has to read academic papers 2084 01:23:58,070 --> 01:23:54,780 you know within this direct patient in 2085 01:24:00,410 --> 01:23:58,080 schools and is the uh better education I 2086 01:24:03,590 --> 01:24:00,420 think you know on on TV there needs to 2087 01:24:06,470 --> 01:24:03,600 be more YouTube channels that do do like 2088 01:24:07,669 --> 01:24:06,480 education type things uh 2089 01:24:09,229 --> 01:24:07,679 I think you know when you're talking 2090 01:24:11,330 --> 01:24:09,239 about like you know how can we have a 2091 01:24:13,729 --> 01:24:11,340 discussion 2092 01:24:15,470 --> 01:24:13,739 it's almost like we're talking about an 2093 01:24:17,390 --> 01:24:15,480 issue that only affects the the 2094 01:24:18,770 --> 01:24:17,400 chattering classes either people who 2095 01:24:20,270 --> 01:24:18,780 actually have discussions in the vast 2096 01:24:22,430 --> 01:24:20,280 majority of people you know aren't 2097 01:24:23,209 --> 01:24:22,440 really talking about these things you 2098 01:24:25,189 --> 01:24:23,219 know they aren't really having 2099 01:24:26,689 --> 01:24:25,199 discussions about things they're kind of 2100 01:24:28,310 --> 01:24:26,699 consuming content 2101 01:24:29,870 --> 01:24:28,320 you know they're watching TV or they're 2102 01:24:33,410 --> 01:24:29,880 watching machine you're uncritically 2103 01:24:35,270 --> 01:24:33,420 content consumption you know yeah so you 2104 01:24:37,189 --> 01:24:35,280 know if people are having a conversation 2105 01:24:40,070 --> 01:24:37,199 that's that's a great start but they're 2106 01:24:41,750 --> 01:24:40,080 simply uh consuming and parroting that's 2107 01:24:43,250 --> 01:24:41,760 that's something else and so that's kind 2108 01:24:45,590 --> 01:24:43,260 of where we need to look if we want to 2109 01:24:48,890 --> 01:24:45,600 look at you know oh you know harm to 2110 01:24:51,229 --> 01:24:48,900 society is being done and what the step 2111 01:24:52,669 --> 01:24:51,239 that we can take to improve that and I 2112 01:24:54,470 --> 01:24:52,679 think it's a very complicated and 2113 01:24:55,729 --> 01:24:54,480 difficult question 2114 01:24:58,250 --> 01:24:55,739 you know something that was done 2115 01:25:03,350 --> 01:24:58,260 starting around 2016. 2116 01:25:07,250 --> 01:25:03,360 was that YouTube and Google started to 2117 01:25:09,350 --> 01:25:07,260 downplay conspiracy content on site 2118 01:25:11,390 --> 01:25:09,360 they actually started library near 2119 01:25:13,250 --> 01:25:11,400 putting it lower on the search results 2120 01:25:14,930 --> 01:25:13,260 and you know eventually it's kind of 2121 01:25:18,890 --> 01:25:14,940 entirely hidden it was kind of a gradual 2122 01:25:21,770 --> 01:25:18,900 thing but now like if if you went on uh 2123 01:25:25,610 --> 01:25:21,780 on YouTube in 2015 and you searched for 2124 01:25:28,490 --> 01:25:25,620 uh Chemtrails you get loads of Trail 2125 01:25:30,950 --> 01:25:28,500 documentaries and videos of people 2126 01:25:33,110 --> 01:25:30,960 pointing at the sky and people like you 2127 01:25:35,209 --> 01:25:33,120 know do things with with tools and 2128 01:25:40,070 --> 01:25:35,219 chemtrails and things like that doing 2129 01:25:42,530 --> 01:25:40,080 now you get like a page of uh you know 2130 01:25:45,470 --> 01:25:42,540 news stories about how contrails uh how 2131 01:25:47,390 --> 01:25:45,480 about Chemtrails are nonsense and you 2132 01:25:49,669 --> 01:25:47,400 know debunking articles and you know 2133 01:25:52,070 --> 01:25:49,679 things like this you just can't find 2134 01:25:55,550 --> 01:25:52,080 that old content anymore so it's it's 2135 01:25:58,070 --> 01:25:55,560 been removed which has been a good thing 2136 01:26:00,530 --> 01:25:58,080 in one ASP in one way in that a lot more 2137 01:26:02,750 --> 01:26:00,540 people are not just kind of accidentally 2138 01:26:04,850 --> 01:26:02,760 finding a video and then watching it and 2139 01:26:07,250 --> 01:26:04,860 then falling in a rabbit hole but it's 2140 01:26:08,870 --> 01:26:07,260 also changed the dynamic considerably in 2141 01:26:12,169 --> 01:26:08,880 that it's it's pushed things underground 2142 01:26:14,930 --> 01:26:12,179 right now all the chemtrail videos are 2143 01:26:16,550 --> 01:26:14,940 on Rumble if you go to rumble and you 2144 01:26:19,550 --> 01:26:16,560 search for chemtrails you don't have any 2145 01:26:22,430 --> 01:26:19,560 debunking videos you just find like the 2146 01:26:24,649 --> 01:26:22,440 uh uh the more outrageous claims about G 2147 01:26:26,030 --> 01:26:24,659 engineering and people spraying Nanobots 2148 01:26:28,610 --> 01:26:26,040 things like that 2149 01:26:31,490 --> 01:26:28,620 uh so it's it's it's moved to a much 2150 01:26:34,910 --> 01:26:31,500 smaller plat but it's it's kind of like 2151 01:26:36,950 --> 01:26:34,920 more focused so things have changed and 2152 01:26:39,530 --> 01:26:36,960 this is something I you know I just I 2153 01:26:42,110 --> 01:26:39,540 finished the second draft of my my book 2154 01:26:46,189 --> 01:26:42,120 escaping the rabbit hole and part of the 2155 01:26:48,709 --> 01:26:46,199 update there is that constances now are 2156 01:26:51,350 --> 01:26:48,719 a lot more Dynamic than they were uh 2157 01:26:53,990 --> 01:26:51,360 five years ago like things change very 2158 01:26:55,490 --> 01:26:54,000 very rapidly like the Q a non-conspiracy 2159 01:26:58,490 --> 01:26:55,500 theory we've got something new is 2160 01:27:00,709 --> 01:26:58,500 happening every day uh the the vaccine 2161 01:27:03,050 --> 01:27:00,719 there's always new stuff coming out new 2162 01:27:05,930 --> 01:27:03,060 claims are being made about you know the 2163 01:27:07,910 --> 01:27:05,940 the vaccine contains yeah microchips or 2164 01:27:10,729 --> 01:27:07,920 the the vaccine as these these Nanobots 2165 01:27:12,590 --> 01:27:10,739 in it or more straightforward claim of 2166 01:27:14,090 --> 01:27:12,600 the vaccine just uh the spike proteins 2167 01:27:16,129 --> 01:27:14,100 are going to kill you later things like 2168 01:27:18,410 --> 01:27:16,139 that you know it's constantly evolving 2169 01:27:20,830 --> 01:27:18,420 uh it makes it very very difficult to 2170 01:27:23,510 --> 01:27:20,840 deal with so there's the major challenge 2171 01:27:24,590 --> 01:27:23,520 uh there that oh yeah I don't think 2172 01:27:28,129 --> 01:27:24,600 we've really 2173 01:27:31,550 --> 01:27:29,629 I like that you brought up the 2174 01:27:33,709 --> 01:27:31,560 Chemtrails because 2175 01:27:36,169 --> 01:27:33,719 um I find it so interesting that that is 2176 01:27:38,750 --> 01:27:36,179 if I remember correctly how you 2177 01:27:40,910 --> 01:27:38,760 um sort of made your name uh initially 2178 01:27:43,870 --> 01:27:40,920 in the debunking realm and I'd love to 2179 01:27:47,330 --> 01:27:43,880 sort of hear how you went from uh 2180 01:27:50,930 --> 01:27:47,340 retiring young and quite wealthy and 2181 01:27:53,510 --> 01:27:50,940 then got interested in even even looking 2182 01:27:55,669 --> 01:27:53,520 at uh Chemtrails and and how that got on 2183 01:27:57,770 --> 01:27:55,679 your radar and and what process you went 2184 01:27:59,990 --> 01:27:57,780 through to sort of like figure out what 2185 01:28:01,729 --> 01:28:00,000 was happening there yeah well that's 2186 01:28:02,570 --> 01:28:01,739 that's kind of interesting like 2187 01:28:04,910 --> 01:28:02,580 um 2188 01:28:06,770 --> 01:28:04,920 and my bag is I'm a computer game 2189 01:28:08,810 --> 01:28:06,780 programs you know all these this math 2190 01:28:11,149 --> 01:28:08,820 and stuff but the other thing though is 2191 01:28:14,810 --> 01:28:11,159 how to debug code 2192 01:28:16,490 --> 01:28:14,820 when you're a programmer uh a lot of the 2193 01:28:17,870 --> 01:28:16,500 time if all the time when you first 2194 01:28:19,550 --> 01:28:17,880 write code 2195 01:28:20,930 --> 01:28:19,560 it does work it doesn't do what you 2196 01:28:22,729 --> 01:28:20,940 expect it to do 2197 01:28:24,709 --> 01:28:22,739 and there's various technique you can do 2198 01:28:26,510 --> 01:28:24,719 to take the most likely but at some 2199 01:28:28,310 --> 01:28:26,520 you're going to have to debug it to 2200 01:28:30,709 --> 01:28:28,320 figure out why is it not working so 2201 01:28:32,450 --> 01:28:30,719 you've got a basically investigate 2202 01:28:34,910 --> 01:28:32,460 what going on 2203 01:28:36,169 --> 01:28:34,920 and all right remember I was you know 2204 01:28:39,050 --> 01:28:36,179 back in the video game industry 2205 01:28:40,550 --> 01:28:39,060 sometimes these bugs wouldn't happen 2206 01:28:43,310 --> 01:28:40,560 very often 2207 01:28:45,410 --> 01:28:43,320 and it was very difficult on my machines 2208 01:28:46,910 --> 01:28:45,420 like a test on me it happened and it was 2209 01:28:50,149 --> 01:28:46,920 very difficult to replicate and 2210 01:28:52,310 --> 01:28:50,159 sometimes you'd you'd be tempted to to 2211 01:28:54,050 --> 01:28:52,320 think well maybe you know he's got a 2212 01:28:56,209 --> 01:28:54,060 flaky machine or something like that or 2213 01:28:57,770 --> 01:28:56,219 maybe he's you know he's close to the 2214 01:28:59,390 --> 01:28:57,780 microwave and that's causing his machine 2215 01:29:00,770 --> 01:28:59,400 to glitch that's what's causing it he 2216 01:29:04,310 --> 01:29:00,780 starts 2217 01:29:06,290 --> 01:29:04,320 it was a magical thinking uh but yeah 2218 01:29:07,970 --> 01:29:06,300 that doesn't doesn't do you well in the 2219 01:29:09,709 --> 01:29:07,980 long run because the game still has bugs 2220 01:29:12,530 --> 01:29:09,719 in it if you just ignore them so you've 2221 01:29:14,450 --> 01:29:12,540 really got to learn the drill down to 2222 01:29:16,129 --> 01:29:14,460 the root level find the root cause of 2223 01:29:18,770 --> 01:29:16,139 exactly what's happening and fix that 2224 01:29:20,810 --> 01:29:18,780 thing and so that you know you know 20 2225 01:29:22,669 --> 01:29:20,820 years or so I was in the game that's 2226 01:29:24,950 --> 01:29:22,679 something I got very good at 2227 01:29:29,209 --> 01:29:24,960 and so when I see 2228 01:29:30,830 --> 01:29:29,219 a a an issue or a puzzle a question you 2229 01:29:33,050 --> 01:29:30,840 know my inclination is to take a deep 2230 01:29:34,370 --> 01:29:33,060 dive into that and figure out exactly 2231 01:29:38,270 --> 01:29:34,380 what's going on 2232 01:29:40,129 --> 01:29:38,280 so it's Chemtrails I saw on uh Wikipedia 2233 01:29:42,410 --> 01:29:40,139 I think I guess I'll be your article 2234 01:29:43,850 --> 01:29:42,420 about this chemtrail conspiracy theory 2235 01:29:46,610 --> 01:29:43,860 and I saw the claims that people will 2236 01:29:49,790 --> 01:29:46,620 make about you know contrails should not 2237 01:29:53,510 --> 01:29:49,800 percept and things like that and so my 2238 01:29:55,310 --> 01:29:53,520 inclination was to just go in and figure 2239 01:29:57,590 --> 01:29:55,320 out exactly what they were saying and 2240 01:30:00,110 --> 01:29:57,600 exactly what the science should have 2241 01:30:01,729 --> 01:30:00,120 been with this with with contrails and 2242 01:30:04,850 --> 01:30:01,739 so I started a website called contrail 2243 01:30:07,729 --> 01:30:04,860 science explaining that science uh and 2244 01:30:09,830 --> 01:30:07,739 yeah I I enjoyed doing it I enjoyed 2245 01:30:13,430 --> 01:30:09,840 figuring stuff out 2246 01:30:15,709 --> 01:30:13,440 I'm getting an echo here from somebody 2247 01:30:18,410 --> 01:30:15,719 is anybody else 2248 01:30:20,209 --> 01:30:18,420 oh I think it's gone 2249 01:30:22,970 --> 01:30:20,219 okay yeah I heard a little Echo too it's 2250 01:30:28,790 --> 01:30:26,149 but yeah so uh that's you know kind of 2251 01:30:33,830 --> 01:30:28,800 puzzle solver type thing from contrails 2252 01:30:38,030 --> 01:30:33,840 translated very naturally over to uh UFO 2253 01:30:41,390 --> 01:30:38,040 and uh I I would you know use my 2254 01:30:42,709 --> 01:30:41,400 debugging skills debunking but it's the 2255 01:30:45,169 --> 01:30:42,719 same type of thing you would have you 2256 01:30:46,610 --> 01:30:45,179 went to investigate uh some weird thing 2257 01:30:50,270 --> 01:30:46,620 that is happening and try to figure out 2258 01:30:52,490 --> 01:30:50,280 exactly what caused it and some of the 2259 01:30:55,250 --> 01:30:52,500 stuff I do is almost identical to what I 2260 01:30:57,470 --> 01:30:55,260 was doing in the Tony Hawk skateboarding 2261 01:30:59,390 --> 01:30:57,480 games yeah sometimes you'd be skating 2262 01:31:03,350 --> 01:30:59,400 along in Tony Hawk and you'd fly through 2263 01:31:05,629 --> 01:31:03,360 a wall so I have to you know kind of uh 2264 01:31:07,310 --> 01:31:05,639 do a 3D view of his what was going on 2265 01:31:09,350 --> 01:31:07,320 where are the Vetters and where are the 2266 01:31:11,750 --> 01:31:09,360 little vision tests and you know what 2267 01:31:13,550 --> 01:31:11,760 polygon are touching and I just the same 2268 01:31:15,050 --> 01:31:13,560 type of thing with UFOs I built new 2269 01:31:16,729 --> 01:31:15,060 models and I fly around them and I look 2270 01:31:18,290 --> 01:31:16,739 at them I see what's going on in this 2271 01:31:20,810 --> 01:31:18,300 particular location it's the same type 2272 01:31:23,570 --> 01:31:20,820 of thing so uh you know that's that's 2273 01:31:26,090 --> 01:31:23,580 kind of grounding in video game 2274 01:31:34,250 --> 01:31:26,100 programming was directly run to the the 2275 01:31:42,790 --> 01:31:37,189 excellent I I think that uh your your 2276 01:31:47,390 --> 01:31:42,800 video showing that the gimbal is 2277 01:31:51,850 --> 01:31:47,400 capable fully of being a 2278 01:31:55,490 --> 01:31:51,860 generic object has really changed the 2279 01:31:56,990 --> 01:31:55,500 conversation fundamentally around UFOs 2280 01:31:59,229 --> 01:31:57,000 because that has always been so 2281 01:32:02,390 --> 01:31:59,239 centralized and 2282 01:32:04,129 --> 01:32:02,400 have you noticed that uh consequence in 2283 01:32:06,110 --> 01:32:04,139 the the broader Community yourself 2284 01:32:08,030 --> 01:32:06,120 what's 2285 01:32:09,530 --> 01:32:08,040 been your experience with creating and 2286 01:32:11,510 --> 01:32:09,540 like putting that out there it's because 2287 01:32:13,850 --> 01:32:11,520 it's been so Monumental uh to see from 2288 01:32:16,430 --> 01:32:13,860 the outside yeah I think it's hard to 2289 01:32:19,490 --> 01:32:16,440 judge uh the impact of something like 2290 01:32:22,510 --> 01:32:19,500 that on the community as a whole but I 2291 01:32:26,209 --> 01:32:22,520 I've certainly seen individual people 2292 01:32:29,169 --> 01:32:26,219 tell me that either that video or other 2293 01:32:31,850 --> 01:32:29,179 videos like it has been kind of pivotal 2294 01:32:33,350 --> 01:32:31,860 in changing their perception of the 2295 01:32:37,090 --> 01:32:33,360 whole UFO 2296 01:32:40,490 --> 01:32:37,100 um yeah scene phenomena situation 2297 01:32:42,830 --> 01:32:40,500 and that's you know it's a when you see 2298 01:32:46,669 --> 01:32:42,840 that you know some evidence that was put 2299 01:32:49,850 --> 01:32:46,679 forward as being anomalous doesn't have 2300 01:32:52,430 --> 01:32:49,860 the uh you know the the what people said 2301 01:32:55,189 --> 01:32:52,440 it had it makes you think 2302 01:32:57,169 --> 01:32:55,199 and it evens with several different 2303 01:32:59,330 --> 01:32:57,179 things it makes you think even more and 2304 01:33:02,330 --> 01:32:59,340 eventually people are going to be well 2305 01:33:04,430 --> 01:33:02,340 you know there's there's uh no smoke 2306 01:33:06,050 --> 01:33:04,440 without fire but there uh there isn't 2307 01:33:07,850 --> 01:33:06,060 really any smoke here so you know what's 2308 01:33:09,410 --> 01:33:07,860 actually going on what am I what am I 2309 01:33:11,510 --> 01:33:09,420 actually believing in 2310 01:33:14,209 --> 01:33:11,520 you know these these classic kisses if 2311 01:33:16,490 --> 01:33:14,219 they all fall away you're not left with 2312 01:33:18,050 --> 01:33:16,500 with much more than the the old kind of 2313 01:33:20,990 --> 01:33:18,060 you know verbal accounts and the very 2314 01:33:23,030 --> 01:33:21,000 old photo videos which weren't very 2315 01:33:26,209 --> 01:33:23,040 convincing to start off with supposedly 2316 01:33:28,669 --> 01:33:26,219 we were in a new age of UF audio and 2317 01:33:31,070 --> 01:33:28,679 starting these these videos from the 2318 01:33:34,729 --> 01:33:31,080 name but if the videos may be really 2319 01:33:37,370 --> 01:33:34,739 weren't amazing then you know has have 2320 01:33:39,050 --> 01:33:37,380 things really changed other than the 2321 01:33:41,510 --> 01:33:39,060 fact that now we're talking about it a 2322 01:33:44,390 --> 01:33:41,520 lot more as the actual evidentiary best 2323 01:33:47,629 --> 01:33:44,400 for the situation actually changed I've 2324 01:33:49,490 --> 01:33:47,639 had a lot of people tell me uh that 2325 01:33:51,649 --> 01:33:49,500 that's that's what happened 2326 01:33:54,830 --> 01:33:51,659 you know perhaps it has had a broader 2327 01:33:57,229 --> 01:33:54,840 impact I mean there's some some people 2328 01:33:59,689 --> 01:33:57,239 you you've seen in the community who 2329 01:34:00,410 --> 01:33:59,699 have changed their position on UFOs I 2330 01:34:02,510 --> 01:34:00,420 mean 2331 01:34:03,709 --> 01:34:02,520 perhaps partly from my stuff but you 2332 01:34:06,229 --> 01:34:03,719 know from other things as well like 2333 01:34:07,729 --> 01:34:06,239 Stephen Green Street used to be a big 2334 01:34:09,830 --> 01:34:07,739 UFO guy 2335 01:34:11,930 --> 01:34:09,840 very Pro Louis Alexander and you know 2336 01:34:13,850 --> 01:34:11,940 now he's not a big UFO guy and he's 2337 01:34:18,410 --> 01:34:13,860 Auntie Lua under 2338 01:34:19,840 --> 01:34:18,420 uh Lewis Jimenez from the the CR and 2339 01:34:20,570 --> 01:34:19,850 rather and people 2340 01:34:22,970 --> 01:34:20,580 [Music] 2341 01:34:27,290 --> 01:34:25,790 um they you know there are there are a 2342 01:34:29,750 --> 01:34:27,300 bunch of reasonably high profile people 2343 01:34:31,729 --> 01:34:29,760 I've spoken to people uh offline who 2344 01:34:33,590 --> 01:34:31,739 have collected me and they said yeah I 2345 01:34:36,410 --> 01:34:33,600 was like you know real hardcore into 2346 01:34:39,590 --> 01:34:36,420 this yeah or and you know I was a big 2347 01:34:42,410 --> 01:34:39,600 supporter of the the invisible College 2348 01:34:45,290 --> 01:34:42,420 people you know zondo and valet and 2349 01:34:47,629 --> 01:34:45,300 people like that uh and 2350 01:34:49,189 --> 01:34:47,639 they've become disillusioned 2351 01:34:50,810 --> 01:34:49,199 which you know sounds like that thing 2352 01:34:53,110 --> 01:34:50,820 but if you're disillusioned of something 2353 01:34:57,350 --> 01:34:53,120 that's in truth and that's a good thing 2354 01:35:00,470 --> 01:34:57,360 uh so yeah things 2355 01:35:03,110 --> 01:35:00,480 have changed but then also way more 2356 01:35:06,649 --> 01:35:03,120 people now believe the UEFA aliens they 2357 01:35:10,430 --> 01:35:06,659 did before the New York Times so things 2358 01:35:12,830 --> 01:35:10,440 of interesting individuals but for the 2359 01:35:15,350 --> 01:35:12,840 broader population I think you know UFOs 2360 01:35:17,090 --> 01:35:15,360 are more in the in the in the 2361 01:35:19,129 --> 01:35:17,100 in the Forefront of their mind their 2362 01:35:27,660 --> 01:35:19,139 beliefs than they were before 2363 01:35:33,169 --> 01:35:29,229 [Music] 2364 01:35:36,530 --> 01:35:33,179 have you been shaped by any particular 2365 01:35:38,810 --> 01:35:36,540 thinkers or books or experiences or 2366 01:35:40,970 --> 01:35:38,820 anything like that 2367 01:35:43,790 --> 01:35:40,980 uh any sort of like theoretical 2368 01:35:45,890 --> 01:35:43,800 Frameworks that inform your approach to 2369 01:35:47,990 --> 01:35:45,900 things 2370 01:35:51,770 --> 01:35:48,000 well when I was young I read Richard 2371 01:35:55,910 --> 01:35:51,780 Dawkins books uh on not not the religion 2372 01:35:58,070 --> 01:35:55,920 books the uh even books yeah the blind 2373 01:36:00,950 --> 01:35:58,080 wall breaker 2374 01:36:03,590 --> 01:36:00,960 uh which you know were very interesting 2375 01:36:05,810 --> 01:36:03,600 to me very uh 2376 01:36:07,790 --> 01:36:05,820 you know it really tells you how 2377 01:36:10,370 --> 01:36:07,800 Evolution works and how it can work 2378 01:36:11,810 --> 01:36:10,380 gradual Evolution can lead to to complex 2379 01:36:14,629 --> 01:36:11,820 situations 2380 01:36:17,390 --> 01:36:14,639 and it gave me some like very simple 2381 01:36:19,430 --> 01:36:17,400 basic steps that I think about to this 2382 01:36:21,350 --> 01:36:19,440 day like there's there's one called uh 2383 01:36:22,790 --> 01:36:21,360 end space 2384 01:36:24,770 --> 01:36:22,800 I'm not sure if that's what he called it 2385 01:36:26,330 --> 01:36:24,780 exactly but it's basically like you know 2386 01:36:28,310 --> 01:36:26,340 we have normal 2387 01:36:29,950 --> 01:36:28,320 three-dimensional space and you know 2388 01:36:32,810 --> 01:36:29,960 that we have 2389 01:36:35,689 --> 01:36:32,820 uh three ways you can go and you can 2390 01:36:40,729 --> 01:36:35,699 arrange things uh say I say height 2391 01:36:42,890 --> 01:36:40,739 weight uh and color uh like three axes 2392 01:36:45,050 --> 01:36:42,900 then you can add like another axis in 2393 01:36:46,790 --> 01:36:45,060 the fourth dimension which uh is like 2394 01:36:48,110 --> 01:36:46,800 you know number of legs or you know 2395 01:36:50,870 --> 01:36:48,120 something else which is like bone 2396 01:36:52,850 --> 01:36:50,880 density and like you add loads and loads 2397 01:36:54,470 --> 01:36:52,860 and loads of different uh dimensions and 2398 01:36:56,270 --> 01:36:54,480 you get this complicated space a 2399 01:36:59,030 --> 01:36:56,280 multi-dimensional space 2400 01:37:02,270 --> 01:36:59,040 and any particular animal can be 2401 01:37:04,010 --> 01:37:02,280 expressed as simply a point space 2402 01:37:05,930 --> 01:37:04,020 uh because it's just a set of numbers 2403 01:37:08,390 --> 01:37:05,940 it's got like these different galaxies 2404 01:37:11,030 --> 01:37:08,400 is one now that makes up this animal you 2405 01:37:14,030 --> 01:37:11,040 could it could even be like each other's 2406 01:37:16,310 --> 01:37:14,040 position on the code and something like 2407 01:37:17,510 --> 01:37:16,320 that but you can you can Define it as a 2408 01:37:19,850 --> 01:37:17,520 point in space and then another animal 2409 01:37:22,729 --> 01:37:19,860 is a different uh point in place 2410 01:37:25,129 --> 01:37:22,739 and between those two animals you'd 2411 01:37:27,050 --> 01:37:25,139 actually just draw a straight line 2412 01:37:30,110 --> 01:37:27,060 and between those two things there will 2413 01:37:33,229 --> 01:37:30,120 be the smooth Continuum of intermediate 2414 01:37:35,570 --> 01:37:33,239 forms that are these different nimballs 2415 01:37:37,070 --> 01:37:35,580 and you know maybe sounds like kind of 2416 01:37:38,810 --> 01:37:37,080 obvious but when I first heard that it 2417 01:37:39,890 --> 01:37:38,820 kind of my mind and it just made me 2418 01:37:41,450 --> 01:37:39,900 think about 2419 01:37:45,590 --> 01:37:41,460 the 2420 01:37:48,070 --> 01:37:45,600 different 2421 01:37:50,229 --> 01:37:48,080 problems and situations is this 2422 01:37:53,930 --> 01:37:50,239 multi-dimensional thing 2423 01:37:55,490 --> 01:37:53,940 you can you can you can define a set of 2424 01:37:56,990 --> 01:37:55,500 possible things and it's got these 2425 01:37:58,310 --> 01:37:57,000 different XCS and then there's points in 2426 01:38:00,590 --> 01:37:58,320 it and then you can move between these 2427 01:38:02,510 --> 01:38:00,600 these points uh and it just it gives you 2428 01:38:03,830 --> 01:38:02,520 an interesting way of thinking about uh 2429 01:38:06,110 --> 01:38:03,840 about about 2430 01:38:08,450 --> 01:38:06,120 certain types of problems 2431 01:38:09,910 --> 01:38:08,460 and I also read a bunch of uh Richard 2432 01:38:15,290 --> 01:38:09,920 Feynman 2433 01:38:17,930 --> 01:38:15,300 you're joking yeah he was great 2434 01:38:20,270 --> 01:38:17,940 yeah yes surely even joking Mr fine man 2435 01:38:23,810 --> 01:38:20,280 yeah it's that's I think something when 2436 01:38:26,750 --> 01:38:23,820 the teach said to him once but he you 2437 01:38:30,950 --> 01:38:26,760 know he's uh is not very PC by modern 2438 01:38:34,070 --> 01:38:30,960 standards but uh he he's uh 2439 01:38:35,570 --> 01:38:34,080 very good at understanding the world and 2440 01:38:37,490 --> 01:38:35,580 very good at solving problems and he's 2441 01:38:40,550 --> 01:38:37,500 very good at communicating he's got him 2442 01:38:42,110 --> 01:38:40,560 a series of lectures and physics uh 2443 01:38:44,209 --> 01:38:42,120 which uh oh yeah his physics lectures 2444 01:38:46,430 --> 01:38:44,219 are amazing for anyone interested in 2445 01:38:48,229 --> 01:38:46,440 physics totally worth listening to and 2446 01:38:49,669 --> 01:38:48,239 there's a classic clip of him which 2447 01:38:51,530 --> 01:38:49,679 which I always I always think about 2448 01:38:55,250 --> 01:38:51,540 where he's explaining where he's not 2449 01:38:58,010 --> 01:38:55,260 explaining because he asked by uh the 2450 01:39:00,310 --> 01:38:58,020 interviewer how to explain magnet 2451 01:39:03,410 --> 01:39:00,320 and magnvest how do they work 2452 01:39:06,410 --> 01:39:03,420 and and by massage and well what do you 2453 01:39:08,689 --> 01:39:06,420 mean they work and then the interview is 2454 01:39:10,430 --> 01:39:08,699 like yes so as well why are they pulling 2455 01:39:12,590 --> 01:39:10,440 each other together finally says well 2456 01:39:14,270 --> 01:39:12,600 they're attracted to each other 2457 01:39:15,950 --> 01:39:14,280 because there's a force that pulls one 2458 01:39:16,850 --> 01:39:15,960 to another and then it's the wire the 2459 01:39:19,310 --> 01:39:16,860 force 2460 01:39:21,950 --> 01:39:19,320 and fireman goes on on this this long 2461 01:39:23,990 --> 01:39:21,960 spiel about like you know I suppose you 2462 01:39:25,910 --> 01:39:24,000 see old lady fought over and you know 2463 01:39:27,470 --> 01:39:25,920 you ask like why'd you fall over and you 2464 01:39:31,070 --> 01:39:27,480 know she pick a hip 2465 01:39:33,410 --> 01:39:31,080 because yeah she slipped yes on the ace 2466 01:39:35,750 --> 01:39:33,420 because uh low friction yeah it's why is 2467 01:39:37,310 --> 01:39:35,760 the low friction it's because of the the 2468 01:39:38,330 --> 01:39:37,320 interaction of the molecules and you 2469 01:39:40,430 --> 01:39:38,340 know why why does that cause low 2470 01:39:43,490 --> 01:39:40,440 friction and you know what how do you 2471 01:39:45,649 --> 01:39:43,500 explain the weak atomics you go down it 2472 01:39:47,750 --> 01:39:45,659 gets down to something but definitely 2473 01:39:50,149 --> 01:39:47,760 you can't explain 2474 01:39:52,010 --> 01:39:50,159 there's always going to be kind of a a 2475 01:39:55,729 --> 01:39:52,020 substrate to a 2476 01:39:58,209 --> 01:39:55,739 explanation that you have to say you 2477 01:40:00,770 --> 01:39:58,219 don't know 2478 01:40:03,590 --> 01:40:00,780 in a way you know Feynman doesn't know 2479 01:40:06,290 --> 01:40:03,600 exactly why magnets work he knows that 2480 01:40:09,290 --> 01:40:06,300 subatomic particles uh work in a certain 2481 01:40:11,450 --> 01:40:09,300 way and he knows that forces interact in 2482 01:40:13,850 --> 01:40:11,460 a certain way and it can inscribe an 2483 01:40:15,229 --> 01:40:13,860 explanation in those terms but he 2484 01:40:17,810 --> 01:40:15,239 doesn't know what's beneath that he 2485 01:40:20,330 --> 01:40:17,820 doesn't why these these fundamental 2486 01:40:22,850 --> 01:40:20,340 forces of the universe do what they do 2487 01:40:25,250 --> 01:40:22,860 and then that to me was like a 2488 01:40:27,649 --> 01:40:25,260 foundational point in my kind of 2489 01:40:30,050 --> 01:40:27,659 education is that 2490 01:40:32,090 --> 01:40:30,060 when you're figuring something out and 2491 01:40:34,970 --> 01:40:32,100 explaining it to people 2492 01:40:37,490 --> 01:40:34,980 uh you can only communicate you know 2493 01:40:39,050 --> 01:40:37,500 first of all you can only communicate at 2494 01:40:40,669 --> 01:40:39,060 their level so they can understand it 2495 01:40:42,110 --> 01:40:40,679 and then there's also limits to what you 2496 01:40:45,169 --> 01:40:42,120 can actually communicate because the 2497 01:40:47,510 --> 01:40:45,179 limits to what you understand below that 2498 01:40:49,189 --> 01:40:47,520 there's going to be limits that get past 2499 01:40:51,830 --> 01:40:49,199 because no one understands exactly how 2500 01:40:53,629 --> 01:40:51,840 the universe works mm-hmm 2501 01:40:56,030 --> 01:40:53,639 right 2502 01:40:58,729 --> 01:40:56,040 we have a we have a great question from 2503 01:41:00,470 --> 01:40:58,739 Steve long as well which is semi-related 2504 01:41:03,229 --> 01:41:00,480 to this inquiry 2505 01:41:06,530 --> 01:41:03,239 um he's asking what works uh or 2506 01:41:08,750 --> 01:41:06,540 recommendations you have that you feel 2507 01:41:11,930 --> 01:41:08,760 are important for anyone beginning to 2508 01:41:14,570 --> 01:41:11,940 assess new information zones so 2509 01:41:16,189 --> 01:41:14,580 specifically UFOs where does someone 2510 01:41:19,550 --> 01:41:16,199 who's interested in this subject where 2511 01:41:27,410 --> 01:41:22,490 ah it's kind of a tricky question I mean 2512 01:41:30,590 --> 01:41:27,420 I got it at a bunk.com no I wouldn't uh 2513 01:41:32,930 --> 01:41:30,600 I mean the someone mentioned 2514 01:41:35,629 --> 01:41:32,940 um Alan Henry I think uh and he has a 2515 01:41:37,970 --> 01:41:35,639 great book called 2516 01:41:39,770 --> 01:41:37,980 and you know oh my God I haven't seen 2517 01:41:41,450 --> 01:41:39,780 that book in forever I have that book 2518 01:41:43,250 --> 01:41:41,460 it's an older book it's an older book 2519 01:41:47,330 --> 01:41:43,260 yeah like from the 17th I believe or the 2520 01:41:50,570 --> 01:41:47,340 80s uh but yes it's a good book and 2521 01:41:51,770 --> 01:41:50,580 you know I I don't think it's probably 2522 01:41:53,149 --> 01:41:51,780 it's probably not the best book that's 2523 01:41:56,209 --> 01:41:53,159 pretty better books but I haven't really 2524 01:41:58,550 --> 01:41:56,219 read that many books but I would start a 2525 01:42:00,169 --> 01:41:58,560 book a lot of this yeah if you can find 2526 01:42:02,450 --> 01:42:00,179 a book like this then ask someone else 2527 01:42:04,070 --> 01:42:02,460 who's a fan of Euros who's read books 2528 01:42:06,590 --> 01:42:04,080 like what's a good book that you know 2529 01:42:09,530 --> 01:42:06,600 gives a a reasonable explanation of 2530 01:42:11,330 --> 01:42:09,540 where we're at with with UFOs 2531 01:42:13,149 --> 01:42:11,340 um I think somebody met a book they are 2532 01:42:16,189 --> 01:42:13,159 already here 2533 01:42:18,530 --> 01:42:16,199 uh uh this this a bunch of different 2534 01:42:20,030 --> 01:42:18,540 takes on on ufology as well the more 2535 01:42:22,790 --> 01:42:20,040 Nuts and Bolts 2536 01:42:25,490 --> 01:42:22,800 uh takes there's the the sociological 2537 01:42:30,229 --> 01:42:25,500 takes there's a kind of the the 2538 01:42:32,870 --> 01:42:30,239 spiritual takes and the uh the uh I 2539 01:42:35,810 --> 01:42:32,880 guess the the ones that are morphed on 2540 01:42:38,149 --> 01:42:35,820 yeah believing yeah there's lots of lots 2541 01:42:42,590 --> 01:42:38,159 of books that are written from a basis 2542 01:42:43,250 --> 01:42:42,600 of of belief if you're a skeptic 2543 01:42:45,229 --> 01:42:43,260 um 2544 01:42:48,830 --> 01:42:45,239 yeah like I say this the book would 2545 01:42:51,229 --> 01:42:48,840 recommend but it's it 50 years old so 2546 01:42:52,910 --> 01:42:51,239 there must be a better book and I invite 2547 01:42:53,610 --> 01:42:52,920 other people let me know what that book 2548 01:42:56,090 --> 01:42:53,620 is 2549 01:42:57,470 --> 01:42:56,100 [Music] 2550 01:42:59,450 --> 01:42:57,480 great thank you you should write it 2551 01:43:02,990 --> 01:42:59,460 maybe I should write a book 2552 01:43:05,109 --> 01:43:03,000 on you vote you should and then you can 2553 01:43:08,570 --> 01:43:05,119 come back on the podcast 2554 01:43:09,770 --> 01:43:08,580 well in two years time that's fine we'll 2555 01:43:11,810 --> 01:43:09,780 still be doing this every Wednesday 2556 01:43:14,750 --> 01:43:11,820 night man 2557 01:43:16,850 --> 01:43:14,760 I think that um getting into it I think 2558 01:43:19,490 --> 01:43:16,860 they're a really important thing to uh 2559 01:43:20,990 --> 01:43:19,500 to keep in mind is that standards of 2560 01:43:23,209 --> 01:43:21,000 evidence are very important I mean do 2561 01:43:25,550 --> 01:43:23,219 you have like your own version of 2562 01:43:26,689 --> 01:43:25,560 Sagan's baloney detection kit or like 2563 01:43:29,090 --> 01:43:26,699 how do you 2564 01:43:31,010 --> 01:43:29,100 um I I don't so it's interesting like I 2565 01:43:32,450 --> 01:43:31,020 know there are the bunch of 2566 01:43:34,790 --> 01:43:32,460 um you know I have 2567 01:43:37,430 --> 01:43:34,800 I have Sagan's my bookshelf over there 2568 01:43:39,830 --> 01:43:37,440 so I don't know where it is but I I I 2569 01:43:42,609 --> 01:43:39,840 know that there are these formal ways 2570 01:43:47,209 --> 01:43:42,619 that people have of assessing evidence 2571 01:43:48,649 --> 01:43:47,219 and uh yeah I'm I don't do that and yeah 2572 01:43:51,590 --> 01:43:48,659 I have a website called Cowboy 2573 01:43:54,649 --> 01:43:51,600 programming cowboyprogramming.com 2574 01:43:57,530 --> 01:43:54,659 which is my old yeah programming website 2575 01:44:02,510 --> 01:43:57,540 and it's called Cowboy program because I 2576 01:44:05,629 --> 01:44:02,520 I utilize an ad hoc approach to uh to 2577 01:44:07,669 --> 01:44:05,639 programming and uh you know because I'm 2578 01:44:10,430 --> 01:44:07,679 you know kind of largely self-taught 2579 01:44:13,070 --> 01:44:10,440 uh even though I read a lot but yeah I I 2580 01:44:14,990 --> 01:44:13,080 don't I'm not a big fan of one 2581 01:44:16,189 --> 01:44:15,000 methodology like it's the solving 2582 01:44:19,129 --> 01:44:16,199 problem 2583 01:44:22,070 --> 01:44:19,139 and you know maybe I should be I do have 2584 01:44:24,970 --> 01:44:22,080 one book that I like let me just grab it 2585 01:44:31,850 --> 01:44:28,729 which is this book here it is uh solve 2586 01:44:33,530 --> 01:44:31,860 it by G polia another old book it's a 2587 01:44:36,109 --> 01:44:33,540 very old book it used to belong to my 2588 01:44:38,930 --> 01:44:36,119 grandfather of this book it's uh it's 2589 01:44:41,629 --> 01:44:38,940 still got the it was 13 Shillings as the 2590 01:44:44,570 --> 01:44:41,639 price on the front of the book well but 2591 01:44:46,850 --> 01:44:44,580 what is it's a book that's it's it is 2592 01:44:48,890 --> 01:44:46,860 out a a methodology for solving 2593 01:44:51,169 --> 01:44:48,900 mathematical problems and the reason I 2594 01:44:52,850 --> 01:44:51,179 like it is that it's really short not 2595 01:44:55,729 --> 01:44:52,860 just the book itself is really short but 2596 01:44:57,770 --> 01:44:55,739 the methodology uh is just basically 2597 01:44:59,750 --> 01:44:57,780 this two-page 2598 01:45:02,270 --> 01:44:59,760 two pages yeah 2599 01:45:05,870 --> 01:45:02,280 and it's just to list things too 2600 01:45:08,450 --> 01:45:05,880 and this thing is uh you know Define the 2601 01:45:10,609 --> 01:45:08,460 unknown and draw a diagram 2602 01:45:12,229 --> 01:45:10,619 uh which is just you know such wonderful 2603 01:45:13,910 --> 01:45:12,239 advice draw a diagram 2604 01:45:16,490 --> 01:45:13,920 so I started getting any UFO 2605 01:45:17,870 --> 01:45:16,500 investigator draw a diagram I didn't why 2606 01:45:20,030 --> 01:45:17,880 didn't fryver draw a diagram anyway 2607 01:45:22,250 --> 01:45:20,040 aside then the second thing is like have 2608 01:45:29,930 --> 01:45:22,260 you seen this before 2609 01:45:32,510 --> 01:45:29,940 like 80 cents of what I do people will 2610 01:45:35,510 --> 01:45:32,520 show me something and I've seen it 2611 01:45:37,250 --> 01:45:35,520 before I know what it is 2612 01:45:38,750 --> 01:45:37,260 so that's something that's you can't 2613 01:45:41,750 --> 01:45:38,760 really eat that 2614 01:45:43,669 --> 01:45:41,760 as the method to a new UFO investigator 2615 01:45:47,270 --> 01:45:43,679 if they haven't already solved a whole 2616 01:45:48,410 --> 01:45:47,280 bunch of UFO cases uh so you could you 2617 01:45:49,910 --> 01:45:48,420 could teach them a bunch of things you 2618 01:45:52,609 --> 01:45:49,920 got like lists of things but they really 2619 01:45:55,189 --> 01:45:52,619 make sense who are already experienced 2620 01:45:56,689 --> 01:45:55,199 uh in the art so it's it's kind of a 2621 01:45:58,970 --> 01:45:56,699 Chicken and the Egg thing you're 2622 01:46:00,649 --> 01:45:58,980 teaching people methodology 2623 01:46:07,729 --> 01:46:00,659 uh 2624 01:46:10,669 --> 01:46:07,739 of it how to solve it for computer 2625 01:46:13,250 --> 01:46:10,679 programming but it's 2626 01:46:15,470 --> 01:46:13,260 yeah that's what I do I look at problems 2627 01:46:18,229 --> 01:46:15,480 interface all step-by-step way 2628 01:46:19,550 --> 01:46:18,239 and if I've seen it before I apply it 2629 01:46:21,770 --> 01:46:19,560 you you break down a problem into 2630 01:46:23,930 --> 01:46:21,780 smaller chunks one of the things it 2631 01:46:27,709 --> 01:46:23,940 tells you it's like a five-step process 2632 01:46:30,530 --> 01:46:27,719 literally anyway this is rambling 2633 01:46:31,910 --> 01:46:30,540 that's fine yeah we're on a podcast here 2634 01:46:35,810 --> 01:46:31,920 that's uh pretty much our bread and 2635 01:46:40,010 --> 01:46:38,450 when you're at the top of the hour right 2636 01:46:43,669 --> 01:46:40,020 did we have any more 2637 01:46:47,090 --> 01:46:45,590 um I I don't but I do have one final 2638 01:46:49,070 --> 01:46:47,100 question 2639 01:46:51,169 --> 01:46:49,080 um again more driven by personal 2640 01:46:52,729 --> 01:46:51,179 curiosity than anything 2641 01:46:55,609 --> 01:46:52,739 um are there any cases events or 2642 01:46:58,430 --> 01:46:55,619 phenomena that you keep coming back to 2643 01:47:00,590 --> 01:46:58,440 um in terms of things that you think are 2644 01:47:04,129 --> 01:47:00,600 genuinely mysterious or Captivate your 2645 01:47:08,470 --> 01:47:04,139 attention kind of Beyond I would say 2646 01:47:16,790 --> 01:47:12,410 not for those reasons uh there are cases 2647 01:47:20,870 --> 01:47:16,800 that I keep back to uh but uh not really 2648 01:47:23,570 --> 01:47:20,880 because there are weird and inexplicable 2649 01:47:25,430 --> 01:47:23,580 you know the the cases that you can't 2650 01:47:26,990 --> 01:47:25,440 really solve or the one you don't really 2651 01:47:29,270 --> 01:47:27,000 have enough information 2652 01:47:32,570 --> 01:47:29,280 and you're probably not going to be able 2653 01:47:35,270 --> 01:47:32,580 to get very far with them but there are 2654 01:47:37,430 --> 01:47:35,280 other pictures uh where I think we've 2655 01:47:39,770 --> 01:47:37,440 nearly got enough information or perhaps 2656 01:47:42,169 --> 01:47:39,780 we even do have enough information it's 2657 01:47:44,090 --> 01:47:42,179 some kind of determination 2658 01:47:46,129 --> 01:47:44,100 but 2659 01:47:49,490 --> 01:47:46,139 even though I feel like you know I 2660 01:47:52,010 --> 01:47:49,500 perhaps have biggest thing out 2661 01:47:55,370 --> 01:47:52,020 um people don't accept it 2662 01:47:57,109 --> 01:47:55,380 and what really gets me what motivates 2663 01:47:59,750 --> 01:47:57,119 me is 2664 01:48:01,970 --> 01:47:59,760 trying to communicate those cases to 2665 01:48:06,109 --> 01:48:01,980 people trying to explain to people like 2666 01:48:08,810 --> 01:48:06,119 why this is the way it is now the gimbal 2667 01:48:11,570 --> 01:48:08,820 case is a good example 2668 01:48:13,669 --> 01:48:11,580 um I I wrote this quite complicated 2669 01:48:15,709 --> 01:48:13,679 piece of software that you see in this 2670 01:48:17,510 --> 01:48:15,719 this video explains it of all the 2671 01:48:20,629 --> 01:48:17,520 patients and everything and I do this 2672 01:48:22,669 --> 01:48:20,639 long blaming it and the reason that came 2673 01:48:27,050 --> 01:48:22,679 about is because of you know the guy who 2674 01:48:29,750 --> 01:48:27,060 I asked the first question Marek VR 2675 01:48:33,470 --> 01:48:29,760 um it was kind of challenging me 2676 01:48:35,810 --> 01:48:33,480 um uh my explanation well you know I I 2677 01:48:38,090 --> 01:48:35,820 these videos where I had these long 2678 01:48:39,530 --> 01:48:38,100 sticks I'd just model with a stick and a 2679 01:48:41,090 --> 01:48:39,540 hinge you know you never show you know 2680 01:48:42,350 --> 01:48:41,100 we take it from left to right it rotates 2681 01:48:46,129 --> 01:48:42,360 like this 2682 01:48:48,830 --> 01:48:46,139 and that that Illustrated the general 2683 01:48:50,629 --> 01:48:48,840 concert people didn't really get it and 2684 01:48:52,310 --> 01:48:50,639 they didn't they didn't it didn't really 2685 01:48:54,350 --> 01:48:52,320 like answer exactly what was going on 2686 01:48:56,750 --> 01:48:54,360 and you didn't really prove it in any 2687 01:48:58,250 --> 01:48:56,760 kind of mathematical way and so I think 2688 01:49:01,850 --> 01:48:58,260 Marek was asking some questions about 2689 01:49:04,490 --> 01:49:01,860 and I said well I I really need to do is 2690 01:49:08,149 --> 01:49:04,500 write a a simulation of the entire 2691 01:49:10,310 --> 01:49:08,159 situation and uh that that should share 2692 01:49:12,950 --> 01:49:10,320 it and so I started doing that and I 2693 01:49:15,109 --> 01:49:12,960 spent I don't know months you know 2694 01:49:17,149 --> 01:49:15,119 part-time doing it and came up with this 2695 01:49:20,209 --> 01:49:17,159 very nice illustration which you then 2696 01:49:21,950 --> 01:49:20,219 see in video and that I think was 2697 01:49:24,770 --> 01:49:21,960 reasonably conclusive in demonstrating 2698 01:49:26,870 --> 01:49:24,780 that it's you know not a rotating light 2699 01:49:28,430 --> 01:49:26,880 it's a rotating glare 2700 01:49:30,350 --> 01:49:28,440 still lots of people don't believe it 2701 01:49:32,270 --> 01:49:30,360 even people who 2702 01:49:34,550 --> 01:49:32,280 present themselves as being like IR 2703 01:49:36,890 --> 01:49:34,560 experts that will say oh no it's not oh 2704 01:49:38,330 --> 01:49:36,900 but you know I think I've pretty much 2705 01:49:42,290 --> 01:49:38,340 got that one down 2706 01:49:44,930 --> 01:49:42,300 but then we come to like Gimbal and go 2707 01:49:46,370 --> 01:49:44,940 fast and when you add the wind in so 2708 01:49:48,530 --> 01:49:46,380 fast now it starts to look a little 2709 01:49:52,250 --> 01:49:48,540 squirrely we don't know exactly what the 2710 01:49:53,390 --> 01:49:52,260 situation is there like and so yeah I 2711 01:49:55,370 --> 01:49:53,400 still plan to come back to that even 2712 01:49:56,930 --> 01:49:55,380 though I think it was it was it was 2713 01:49:59,030 --> 01:49:56,940 about a year ago that I started this 2714 01:50:00,530 --> 01:49:59,040 this whole sit wreck thing and I've been 2715 01:50:01,729 --> 01:50:00,540 working on and off I've been doing it 2716 01:50:05,330 --> 01:50:01,739 for the last few months because I've 2717 01:50:07,070 --> 01:50:05,340 been working on the book but now I'm 2718 01:50:09,649 --> 01:50:07,080 planning to do a lot more work on this 2719 01:50:12,229 --> 01:50:09,659 so I'm still coming back to these 2720 01:50:14,330 --> 01:50:12,239 classic cases Gimbal and go Fest and 2721 01:50:15,770 --> 01:50:14,340 maybe even Nimitz I don't think I'll do 2722 01:50:18,770 --> 01:50:15,780 anything more with the green triangle 2723 01:50:20,450 --> 01:50:18,780 but I mean you never know but yeah those 2724 01:50:22,189 --> 01:50:20,460 are the cases that I keep coming back to 2725 01:50:25,010 --> 01:50:22,199 the walls were 2726 01:50:27,310 --> 01:50:25,020 people remain unconvinced when the uh 2727 01:50:30,129 --> 01:50:27,320 the client Navy case 2728 01:50:34,370 --> 01:50:30,139 you know that was like 2729 01:50:36,350 --> 01:50:34,380 2017 yeah I think it was 2017 that uh uh 2730 01:50:38,990 --> 01:50:36,360 came out like you know Leslie King did 2731 01:50:41,390 --> 01:50:39,000 this article and Huffington Post and 2732 01:50:43,490 --> 01:50:41,400 through it is later we did identify the 2733 01:50:44,689 --> 01:50:43,500 plane 2734 01:50:46,669 --> 01:50:44,699 um the flight and I don't know if the 2735 01:50:51,530 --> 01:50:46,679 recreation from the perspective the 2736 01:50:54,770 --> 01:50:53,570 and we proved like exactly what plane it 2737 01:51:01,970 --> 01:50:54,780 was 2738 01:51:04,189 --> 01:51:01,980 you know there's a couple of shows that 2739 01:51:06,290 --> 01:51:04,199 had that case on they're presenting it 2740 01:51:08,090 --> 01:51:06,300 as being unexplained there was one with 2741 01:51:09,470 --> 01:51:08,100 trap Taylor on yeah ancient aliens 2742 01:51:11,149 --> 01:51:09,480 covered it 2743 01:51:14,149 --> 01:51:11,159 they had this ridiculous thing where 2744 01:51:16,070 --> 01:51:14,159 they they showed like the the the two 2745 01:51:18,229 --> 01:51:16,080 balls that were behind it which are just 2746 01:51:20,570 --> 01:51:18,239 the glow the pairs of engines on his 2747 01:51:23,209 --> 01:51:20,580 wing and it was comparing to some kind 2748 01:51:25,010 --> 01:51:23,219 of uh Petroglyph some kind of rock 2749 01:51:27,229 --> 01:51:25,020 carving that was a thousand years old 2750 01:51:29,090 --> 01:51:27,239 like in a nearby Mountain saying there's 2751 01:51:30,470 --> 01:51:29,100 an obvious connect between these two 2752 01:51:32,689 --> 01:51:30,480 things and it proved that's the 2753 01:51:35,090 --> 01:51:32,699 astronaut hypothesis is correct it's 2754 01:51:37,070 --> 01:51:35,100 completely ridiculous but you know 2755 01:51:39,490 --> 01:51:37,080 because like not everyone knows that 2756 01:51:41,709 --> 01:51:39,500 that particular case has been debunked 2757 01:51:44,090 --> 01:51:41,719 apparently I didn't do a good enough job 2758 01:51:46,550 --> 01:51:44,100 perhaps I'll have to revisit that one as 2759 01:51:47,750 --> 01:51:46,560 well because you know it really gets me 2760 01:51:52,669 --> 01:51:47,760 that 2761 01:51:55,490 --> 01:51:52,679 is definitely solved and there's still a 2762 01:51:57,890 --> 01:51:55,500 bunch of people promoting it being a UFO 2763 01:51:59,930 --> 01:51:57,900 when it really is not 2764 01:52:02,209 --> 01:51:59,940 it doesn't help when the community looks 2765 01:52:04,609 --> 01:52:02,219 to entertainment as a as researcher 2766 01:52:06,709 --> 01:52:04,619 source for information but yeah I I 2767 01:52:09,410 --> 01:52:06,719 agree with you yeah well it gets 2768 01:52:11,390 --> 01:52:09,420 confusing when uh the author of one of 2769 01:52:13,729 --> 01:52:11,400 the official reports is appearing on 2770 01:52:15,890 --> 01:52:13,739 like Skinwalker Ranch and stuff like 2771 01:52:19,010 --> 01:52:15,900 what's going on it's like a crossover 2772 01:52:21,470 --> 01:52:19,020 reality like I don't know whatever yeah 2773 01:52:23,629 --> 01:52:21,480 I mean that that's so I mean and people 2774 01:52:26,709 --> 01:52:23,639 need to acknowledge the fact that that 2775 01:52:29,149 --> 01:52:26,719 is bizarre that you've got these people 2776 01:52:31,250 --> 01:52:29,159 uh uh bouncing around through these 2777 01:52:34,010 --> 01:52:31,260 different things yeah Travis Taylor is 2778 01:52:36,530 --> 01:52:34,020 like doing Your Redneck Rockets and then 2779 01:52:38,570 --> 01:52:36,540 he gets like you know he's he's painting 2780 01:52:41,030 --> 01:52:38,580 it the whole time secretly yeah it's 2781 01:52:42,530 --> 01:52:41,040 just secretly looking at the Pentagon uh 2782 01:52:45,050 --> 01:52:42,540 doing this thing and then he's doing 2783 01:52:47,030 --> 01:52:45,060 this you know the the task force UAP 2784 01:52:50,870 --> 01:52:47,040 task force and says he contributed to 2785 01:52:53,930 --> 01:52:50,880 the report and then he Stratton uh leave 2786 01:52:56,330 --> 01:52:53,940 the Pentagon and the go worker Radiance 2787 01:53:01,550 --> 01:52:56,340 uh Radiance technologist 2788 01:53:04,850 --> 01:53:01,560 being stuffed uh UAP research Arena 2789 01:53:06,470 --> 01:53:04,860 and and they're probably

01:53:18,659 driving for Uber to make beer money yeah 2796 01:53:24,830 --> 01:53:21,960 but yeah the Pentagon yeah I'm sure 2797 01:53:26,629 --> 01:53:24,840 they're aware of it but it doesn't seem 2798 01:53:28,490 --> 01:53:26,639 like it's something that should be 2799 01:53:31,129 --> 01:53:28,500 happening you know we should have 2800 01:53:32,990 --> 01:53:31,139 serious scientists I agree on this and 2801 01:53:35,750 --> 01:53:33,000 you could argue that 2802 01:53:37,910 --> 01:53:35,760 you know it's entertainment but they are 2803 01:53:40,430 --> 01:53:37,920 claiming it is legitimate 2804 01:53:43,070 --> 01:53:40,440 right and we these are just all you know 2805 01:53:44,570 --> 01:53:43,080 we can say but we know skin walk around 2806 01:53:47,030 --> 01:53:44,580

their word 2810 01:53:56,270 --> 01:53:54,179 and you know I think yeah I think yeah I 2811 01:53:58,430 --> 01:53:56,280 said earlier I think the sad reality was 2812 01:54:01,070 --> 01:53:58,440 that the original UAP task force wasn't 2813 01:54:03,709 --> 01:54:01,080 very good the people who were working in 2814 01:54:05,050 --> 01:54:03,719 the original cases the original 144 2815 01:54:07,729 --> 01:54:05,060 cases 2816 01:54:09,830 --> 01:54:07,739 uh do not have a very good track record 2817 01:54:13,370 --> 01:54:09,840 they couldn't solve the green parent 2818 01:54:16,070
