graciously offered to give us a 33 00:02:54,530 --> 00:02:50,700 bit of a story from the 34 00:02:56,390 --> 00:02:54,540 history books of the UFO culture I 35 00:02:58,670 --> 00:02:56,400 suppose we would call it 36 00:03:01,490 --> 00:02:58,680 um yeah the uh it sort of ties in with 37 00:03:02,930 --> 00:03:01,500 the sort of history of experiencers but 38 00:03:05,930 --> 00:03:02,940 in a more uh 39 00:03:09,110 --> 00:03:05,940 I don't know a more um 40 00:03:10,970 --> 00:03:09,120 because he uh he just this character 41 00:03:13,250 --> 00:03:10,980 that we're gonna get into he talks a lot 42 00:03:16,070 --> 00:03:13,260 about his experiences and what he saw 43 00:03:18,710 --> 00:03:16,080 and it's about like believing the word 44 00:03:21,470 --> 00:03:18,720 of the uh person it's an interesting 45 00:03:23,990 --> 00:03:21,480 continuation of that older history of 46 00:03:26,089 --> 00:03:24,000 people uh sort of reporting seeing 47 00:03:28,790 --> 00:03:26,099 aliens and now it's sort of reporting 48 00:03:30,290 --> 00:03:28,800 seeing things inside the government 49 00:03:34,309 --> 00:03:30,300 um yeah what do you think is the best 50 00:03:37,610 --> 00:03:34,319 way to introduce people to this mythical 51 00:03:42,170 --> 00:03:37,620 almost figure at this point Louise 52 00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:42,180 maybe um the context of the 1980s and 53 00:03:48,350 --> 00:03:44,700 into the 90s where um 54 00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:48,360 the UFO story became more paranoid it 55 00:03:53,149 --> 00:03:49,860 became more centered around government 56 00:03:54,350 --> 00:03:53,159 conspiracies and cover-ups 57 00:03:57,050 --> 00:03:54,360 um 58 00:04:00,470 --> 00:03:57,060 so like you know we had people on on the 59 00:04:03,890 --> 00:04:00,480 radio like um Cooper and you also had 60 00:04:08,270 --> 00:04:03,900 John Leo spouting a lot of insane crap 61 00:04:13,369 --> 00:04:10,970 friends with radar uh not surprisingly 62 00:04:14,570 --> 00:04:13,379 so I think that sort of background is a 63 00:04:16,969 --> 00:04:14,580 little bit important 64 00:04:19,310 --> 00:04:16,979 um I mean lizard didn't invent it um he 65 00:04:20,930 --> 00:04:19,320 kind of picked up on it but um it was 66 00:04:23,210 --> 00:04:20,940 kind of the right time for that because 67 00:04:25,249 --> 00:04:23,220 I think a lot of things in the American 68 00:04:26,330 --> 00:04:25,259 culture were sort of converging to that 69 00:04:28,610 --> 00:04:26,340 point 70 00:04:30,469 --> 00:04:28,620 General distrust of the government 71 00:04:34,129 --> 00:04:30,479 at that time 72 00:04:37,249 --> 00:04:34,139 um and the militia movements as well was 73 00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:37,259 becoming a big thing stuff like that and 74 00:04:40,790 --> 00:04:39,060 then Lazar kind of inserted himself into 75 00:04:49,070 --> 00:04:40,800 that 76 00:04:52,790 --> 00:04:49,080 um this character 77 00:04:54,170 --> 00:04:52,800 um he uh was uh originally kind of he 78 00:04:55,909 --> 00:04:54,180 would probably in modern terms be 79 00:04:57,890 --> 00:04:55,919 considered kind of these one of these 80 00:04:59,570 --> 00:04:57,900 sort of libertarian types right he like 81 00:05:02,090 --> 00:04:59,580 was sort of doing his own stuff out in 82 00:05:04,310 --> 00:05:02,100 the desert like uh yeah very skeptical 83 00:05:08,090 --> 00:05:04,320 of uh government in many ways that's 84 00:05:11,510 --> 00:05:08,100 pretty neat uh and concerning 85 00:05:13,390 --> 00:05:11,520 yeah and John Leo was kind of like that 86 00:05:15,650 --> 00:05:13,400 as well and so was uh 87 00:05:18,170 --> 00:05:15,660 Cooper always figured his first name but 88 00:05:21,110 --> 00:05:18,180 you know what I'm talking about 89 00:05:23,810 --> 00:05:21,120 I do not William is it William Cooper 90 00:05:29,390 --> 00:05:23,820 yeah yeah 91 00:05:31,730 --> 00:05:29,400 The Pale Horse 92 00:05:33,590 --> 00:05:31,740 um he um incidentally died in a shootout 93 00:05:36,350 --> 00:05:33,600 with police yeah 94 00:05:38,570 --> 00:05:36,360 um because of unpaid taxes apparently oh 95 00:05:41,870 --> 00:05:38,580 my gosh okay I've seen people talk about 96 00:05:43,850 --> 00:05:41,880 this guy and uh I've done like a cursory 97 00:05:47,330 --> 00:05:43,860 look into him and immediately just been 98 00:05:49,310 --> 00:05:47,340 like whoa whoa whoa okay no no that's uh 99 00:05:53,450 --> 00:05:49,320 so he was on the radio you're saying 100 00:05:55,010 --> 00:05:53,460 yeah he hosted a radio show I believe 101 00:05:57,890 --> 00:05:55,020 I've never listened to it actually 102 00:06:00,529 --> 00:05:57,900 myself but it's kind of like Alex Jones 103 00:06:03,189 --> 00:06:00,539 before Alex Jones I guess okay like 104 00:06:05,450 --> 00:06:03,199 anti-tax and stuff obviously yeah 105 00:06:07,070 --> 00:06:05,460 alien conspiracies but then he sort of 106 00:06:09,529 --> 00:06:07,080 dropped that and he was basically saying 107 00:06:11,510 --> 00:06:09,539 that the aliens were themselves a 108 00:06:12,710 --> 00:06:11,520 conspiracy by the government to cover up 109 00:06:14,990 --> 00:06:12,720 stuff 110 00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:15,000 I think he accurately predicted uh 111 00:06:23,809 --> 00:06:22,370 a broken clock or whatever I guess so 112 00:06:26,990 --> 00:06:23,819 you you were kind of setting the stage 113 00:06:29,689 --> 00:06:27,000 uh the early 80s there was the late 70s 114 00:06:30,950 --> 00:06:29,699 early 80s this kind of um Resurgence of 115 00:06:32,390 --> 00:06:30,960 distrusting government because there was 116 00:06:35,390 --> 00:06:32,400 a seed of that in the beginning in the 117 00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:35,400 40s yeah I would say more like in the 118 00:06:41,330 --> 00:06:38,940 late 80s okay and then certainly into 119 00:06:43,850 --> 00:06:41,340 the 90s with the um the X-Files and all 120 00:06:46,249 --> 00:06:43,860 those items 121 00:06:47,689 --> 00:06:46,259 um but I mean suddenly even at the 122 00:06:50,029 --> 00:06:47,699 beginning of the contact team movement 123 00:06:52,730 --> 00:06:50,039 there were some musings about government 124 00:06:55,010 --> 00:06:52,740 uh cover-ups but it wasn't nearly to the 125 00:06:58,610 --> 00:06:55,020 extent that it would be later on right 126 00:07:01,430 --> 00:06:58,620 so uh Lazar was kind of um 127 00:07:02,749 --> 00:07:01,440 yeah as you say cannibal kind of a I 128 00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:02,759 guess you would call him a Libertarian 129 00:07:07,370 --> 00:07:04,680 type these days 130 00:07:10,490 --> 00:07:07,380 um because he was um very much into I 131 00:07:13,309 --> 00:07:10,500 still is into kind of pyrotechnics and 132 00:07:14,570 --> 00:07:13,319 uh doing experiments and stuff like that 133 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,580 um 134 00:07:18,409 --> 00:07:17,280 uh going out into the desert and blowing 135 00:07:20,510 --> 00:07:18,419 crap up 136 00:07:28,309 --> 00:07:20,520 um 137 00:07:30,110 --> 00:07:28,319 model UFO was uh called this yeah the 138 00:07:33,350 --> 00:07:30,120 sport model which is sort of I think 139 00:07:35,330 --> 00:07:33,360 like a unconscious tell about his love 140 00:07:37,129 --> 00:07:35,340 for sports cars and all those sorts of 141 00:07:40,249 --> 00:07:37,139 things so there's a lot of like little 142 00:07:42,230 --> 00:07:40,259 hints in his story that if you 143 00:07:44,570 --> 00:07:42,240 consider them from the perspective of 144 00:07:47,570 --> 00:07:44,580 like what business psychology 145 00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:47,580 like it could tell you a lot of things 146 00:07:52,129 --> 00:07:49,979 and I think a lot of UFO conspiracy 147 00:07:54,350 --> 00:07:52,139 theorists um people who tell stories 148 00:07:57,110 --> 00:07:54,360 like him they kind of give away the game 149 00:07:57,830 --> 00:07:57,120 by unconsciously like 150 00:07:59,870 --> 00:07:57,840 um 151 00:08:03,230 --> 00:07:59,880 drip dripping their stories with like 152 00:08:05,689 --> 00:08:03,240 these little things here and there 153 00:08:07,309 --> 00:08:05,699 well let's what what are the if you 154 00:08:09,650 --> 00:08:07,319 could like kind of summarize what are 155 00:08:12,770 --> 00:08:09,660 the claims of Bob Lazar 156 00:08:15,469 --> 00:08:12,780 that he was um 157 00:08:17,710 --> 00:08:15,479 that he had worked at um Los Alamos 158 00:08:19,909 --> 00:08:17,720 National Laboratory as a physicist 159 00:08:23,270 --> 00:08:19,919 although he never had worked there as a 160 00:08:26,990 --> 00:08:23,280 physicist he was a technician he was um 161 00:08:30,469 --> 00:08:27,000 hired out by Kirk Meyer which was a 162 00:08:32,870 --> 00:08:30,479 a contractor back then they um you know 163 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,880 would hire out technicians and people 164 00:08:36,730 --> 00:08:34,560 like that so the government agencies 165 00:08:40,130 --> 00:08:36,740 including the National Laboratories 166 00:08:42,050 --> 00:08:40,140 Lazar worked there for a maximum of I 167 00:08:44,209 --> 00:08:42,060 think eight or nine months according to 168 00:08:47,030 --> 00:08:44,219 the research of signals intelligence he 169 00:08:48,710 --> 00:08:47,040 wrote up a um an article he did a foia 170 00:08:50,870 --> 00:08:48,720 request actually 171 00:08:53,030 --> 00:08:50,880 and he sort of bounded 172 00:08:55,070 --> 00:08:53,040 the time that Lazar could have worked 173 00:08:57,170 --> 00:08:55,080 out Lionel and it was I think eight 174 00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,180 months maximum so there was no time for 175 00:09:01,610 --> 00:08:59,519 him to become a physicist he didn't have 176 00:09:05,030 --> 00:09:01,620 any um formal qualifications in that 177 00:09:08,110 --> 00:09:05,040 field either he claimed that he had um a 178 00:09:09,650 --> 00:09:08,120 master's degree from MIT in 179 00:09:12,829 --> 00:09:09,660 magnetohydrodynamics which was 180 00:09:14,990 --> 00:09:12,839 incidentally a um UFO related topic that 181 00:09:17,210 --> 00:09:15,000 was doing the rounds and documentaries 182 00:09:20,090 --> 00:09:17,220 on TV right I think that was like clout 183 00:09:22,250 --> 00:09:20,100 chasing basically to the UFO crowd 184 00:09:24,769 --> 00:09:22,260 ironically unless I would later say that 185 00:09:27,230 --> 00:09:24,779 he he didn't know why they hired him 186 00:09:28,810 --> 00:09:27,240 he's just a guy even though he's got a 187 00:09:32,329 --> 00:09:28,820 good degree 188 00:09:34,250 --> 00:09:32,339 Republic topic so um 189 00:09:36,710 --> 00:09:34,260 and then his other claim is that he got 190 00:09:40,550 --> 00:09:36,720 a another master's degree from uh 191 00:09:43,190 --> 00:09:40,560 Caltech in electronics engineering 192 00:09:45,769 --> 00:09:43,200 um no evidence for that one either no 193 00:09:46,509 --> 00:09:45,779 documentation in his own possession 194 00:09:52,009 --> 00:09:46,519 um 195 00:09:54,470 --> 00:09:52,019 he can't name in any of the professors 196 00:09:57,170 --> 00:09:54,480 that would have supervised them from 197 00:09:57,889 --> 00:09:57,180 obviously he doesn't have those degrees 198 00:09:59,810 --> 00:09:57,899 um 199 00:10:02,570 --> 00:09:59,820 then he claims that he was 200 00:10:06,050 --> 00:10:02,580 um while working at Lano he was um 201 00:10:07,550 --> 00:10:06,060 talking to uh Edward Teller who was like 202 00:10:11,449 --> 00:10:07,560 the father of the 203 00:10:14,810 --> 00:10:11,459 the hydrogen bomb famous um very um 204 00:10:16,610 --> 00:10:14,820 anti-communist physicist and 205 00:10:18,710 --> 00:10:16,620 um he claims that basically teller got 206 00:10:21,710 --> 00:10:18,720 him the job at S4 which is meant to be 207 00:10:22,250 --> 00:10:21,720 this uh facility near Area 51 right 208 00:10:23,570 --> 00:10:22,260 right 209 00:10:26,449 --> 00:10:23,580 um 210 00:10:29,329 --> 00:10:26,459 he says that he uh you know he he went 211 00:10:31,610 --> 00:10:29,339 to S4 he was given like a briefing about 212 00:10:35,269 --> 00:10:31,620 um sort of the background to the alien 213 00:10:37,970 --> 00:10:35,279 engineering program that they have nine 214 00:10:39,410 --> 00:10:37,980 flying sources stored there 215 00:10:41,329 --> 00:10:39,420 um I don't know why you'd have like nine 216 00:10:43,070 --> 00:10:41,339 of them if there's an accident like 217 00:10:44,150 --> 00:10:43,080 wouldn't they all be taken out but 218 00:10:45,949 --> 00:10:44,160 anyway 219 00:10:49,130 --> 00:10:45,959 yeah that does seem like a really bad 220 00:10:54,370 --> 00:10:51,710 um he says that the um S4 facility was 221 00:10:57,590 --> 00:10:54,380 uh dug into the side of Papu's Mountain 222 00:11:00,290 --> 00:10:57,600 which kind of to the South Southwest of 223 00:11:01,670 --> 00:11:00,300 Area 51 The Groom Lake facility it's 224 00:11:04,430 --> 00:11:01,680 very specific 225 00:11:07,730 --> 00:11:04,440 yeah he says that he was taken 226 00:11:09,829 --> 00:11:07,740 to Area 51 on the Janet flights um which 227 00:11:12,430 --> 00:11:09,839 is true like they do the Personnel do go 228 00:11:15,350 --> 00:11:12,440 on Janet flights 229 00:11:17,690 --> 00:11:15,360 it's like a specially commissioned um 230 00:11:20,030 --> 00:11:17,700 Airline uh 231 00:11:23,150 --> 00:11:20,040 to for for 232 00:11:24,110 --> 00:11:23,160 um employees of area 51. 233 00:11:26,870 --> 00:11:24,120 um 234 00:11:28,670 --> 00:11:26,880 so it's true that they do go on that 235 00:11:30,530 --> 00:11:28,680 flight and some people have said that he 236 00:11:32,449 --> 00:11:30,540 could only have known that if he was 237 00:11:34,910 --> 00:11:32,459 actually inducted into that program but 238 00:11:37,250 --> 00:11:34,920 in fact he was friends with John Leo who 239 00:11:40,130 --> 00:11:37,260 had himself worked at the Nevada Test 240 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:40,140 Site during the early 80s he was also 241 00:11:45,410 --> 00:11:41,760 friends with somebody called um Jim 242 00:11:47,650 --> 00:11:45,420 tagliani who was a electronics engineer 243 00:11:50,150 --> 00:11:47,660 or technician at the tonopar test range 244 00:11:52,190 --> 00:11:50,160 which was doing like electronic warfare 245 00:11:54,949 --> 00:11:52,200 and other secret 246 00:11:57,470 --> 00:11:54,959 um projects so like he could have gotten 247 00:12:00,050 --> 00:11:57,480 any of these um logistical details from 248 00:12:01,730 --> 00:12:00,060 those sorts of people fed it into his 249 00:12:04,310 --> 00:12:01,740 story 250 00:12:07,069 --> 00:12:04,320 he says that once he got to Area 51 he 251 00:12:10,190 --> 00:12:07,079 was um put onto a boss and then it would 252 00:12:13,310 --> 00:12:10,200 drive out to Papoose and then he entered 253 00:12:15,590 --> 00:12:13,320 the S4 facility which housed the flying 254 00:12:17,810 --> 00:12:15,600 sources and that he worked on a 255 00:12:19,430 --> 00:12:17,820 particular Flying Saucer the um the one 256 00:12:20,750 --> 00:12:19,440 that he called the sport model because 257 00:12:23,389 --> 00:12:20,760 of its very 258 00:12:25,550 --> 00:12:23,399 sort of sleek appearance in fact it's 259 00:12:28,310 --> 00:12:25,560 almost like a carbon copy of a billy 260 00:12:30,949 --> 00:12:28,320 Meyer yeah I was about to ask that it 261 00:12:35,389 --> 00:12:30,959 looked extremely similar to one of them 262 00:12:38,509 --> 00:12:35,399 yep yep and um so just the beam ship 263 00:12:40,970 --> 00:12:38,519 thing that originates in a VHS tape 264 00:12:42,710 --> 00:12:40,980 recording of a is that correct uh am I 265 00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:42,720 remembering this right no there's a 266 00:12:47,870 --> 00:12:45,420 photographer named Billy okay 267 00:12:49,430 --> 00:12:47,880 um and he created a lot of uh hoax 268 00:12:51,530 --> 00:12:49,440 photographs of different types of 269 00:12:52,670 --> 00:12:51,540 saucers I think uh I think if one of 270 00:12:53,870 --> 00:12:52,680 them called maybe it's called the 271 00:12:55,730 --> 00:12:53,880 wedding cake there's like a really 272 00:12:57,110 --> 00:12:55,740 distinctive Ridge on one of the edges 273 00:12:59,210 --> 00:12:57,120 and you were people were able to 274 00:13:01,370 --> 00:12:59,220 identify like the the common object it 275 00:13:03,230 --> 00:13:01,380 was made out of the 276 00:13:05,329 --> 00:13:03,240 um really beautiful photos but they are 277 00:13:07,370 --> 00:13:05,339 hoaxes of course and let me see if I can 278 00:13:09,949 --> 00:13:07,380 find one yeah cool okay actually if you 279 00:13:12,230 --> 00:13:09,959 know if um in the first couple seasons 280 00:13:14,449 --> 00:13:12,240 of The X-Files uh maulders original I 281 00:13:15,370 --> 00:13:14,459 want to believe poster is a billy Meyer 282 00:13:18,410 --> 00:13:15,380 photograph 283 00:13:20,389 --> 00:13:18,420 yeah that's the uh the saucer that looks 284 00:13:21,949 --> 00:13:20,399 pretty similar to that sports model I 285 00:13:24,590 --> 00:13:21,959 think yeah 286 00:13:26,210 --> 00:13:24,600 okay and um Billy Meyer is still kicking 287 00:13:29,509 --> 00:13:26,220 around in Switzerland 288 00:13:31,069 --> 00:13:29,519 um he's a figure uh I don't want to call 289 00:13:34,490 --> 00:13:31,079 it a cult because maybe that's too 290 00:13:36,230 --> 00:13:34,500 extreme but um he's sect they um talk 291 00:13:38,930 --> 00:13:36,240 about these space Brothers uh these 292 00:13:42,110 --> 00:13:38,940 plush Aarons who he's supposedly been in 293 00:13:43,910 --> 00:13:42,120 contact with for decades oh right yeah 294 00:13:45,889 --> 00:13:43,920 they've got kind of like a menagerie of 295 00:13:48,230 --> 00:13:45,899 flying sauces including the beam ships 296 00:13:50,690 --> 00:13:48,240 yeah that sort of thing that I think the 297 00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:50,700 third one there yeah the third one is 298 00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:54,000 warts model essentially or that uh that 299 00:13:59,389 --> 00:13:56,220 one there next to the um I think it's a 300 00:14:01,310 --> 00:13:59,399 painting down on the right yeah this 301 00:14:03,550 --> 00:14:01,320 this weird thing no no click on the 302 00:14:07,509 --> 00:14:03,560 third one again 303 00:14:09,590 --> 00:14:07,519 I'm screwing this up again 304 00:14:14,389 --> 00:14:09,600 bottom right 305 00:14:17,629 --> 00:14:14,399 that picture that painting yeah okay 306 00:14:24,350 --> 00:14:17,639 that is the Bulbasaur sports model if I 307 00:14:30,710 --> 00:14:27,110 sports model yes 308 00:14:32,990 --> 00:14:30,720 oh there okay very Sleek there was um 309 00:14:35,210 --> 00:14:33,000 those kind of horror darken window panes 310 00:14:36,769 --> 00:14:35,220 up at the top the portholes I believe 311 00:14:39,790 --> 00:14:36,779 they call them right yeah you're right 312 00:14:43,790 --> 00:14:39,800 nice give me yeah 313 00:14:46,730 --> 00:14:43,800 okay interesting all right well and yes 314 00:14:48,530 --> 00:14:46,740 um Nick mentioned there is a modal kit 315 00:14:50,870 --> 00:14:48,540 that you can get it was sold by the 316 00:14:51,710 --> 00:14:50,880 attestas toy model company back in the 317 00:14:53,629 --> 00:14:51,720 day 318 00:14:55,430 --> 00:14:53,639 wild true 319 00:14:57,290 --> 00:14:55,440 um even though LaSalle supposedly has 320 00:14:58,370 --> 00:14:57,300 never made a dime from his story he's 321 00:15:01,129 --> 00:14:58,380 actually 322 00:15:02,509 --> 00:15:01,139 made uh a lot of money from it although 323 00:15:06,650 --> 00:15:02,519 I wouldn't say that that's necessarily 324 00:15:08,870 --> 00:15:06,660 his primary uh motivation sure sometimes 325 00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:08,880 being a big fish in uh in a little Pond 326 00:15:14,090 --> 00:15:11,820 is motivation enough uh Jeff from uh 327 00:15:17,050 --> 00:15:14,100 strange Recons here and he says uh no no 328 00:15:20,990 --> 00:15:17,060 no they are sensors not Port lights 329 00:15:25,610 --> 00:15:23,629 so it was also says that he worked on 330 00:15:27,949 --> 00:15:25,620 the sport model specifically that he 331 00:15:31,189 --> 00:15:27,959 wasn't allowed to 332 00:15:33,350 --> 00:15:31,199 um kind of go near the other models the 333 00:15:35,750 --> 00:15:33,360 other flying sources even though he 334 00:15:38,569 --> 00:15:35,760 he saw them they got really poor 335 00:15:39,889 --> 00:15:38,579 security if you can just see them 336 00:15:41,990 --> 00:15:39,899 um 337 00:15:44,449 --> 00:15:42,000 yeah they can compartmentalize things 338 00:15:45,949 --> 00:15:44,459 right yeah I mean the government does 339 00:15:47,750 --> 00:15:45,959 obviously compartmentalize stuff 340 00:15:50,870 --> 00:15:47,760 sometimes to um 341 00:15:52,610 --> 00:15:50,880 unreasonable degree but um here we're 342 00:15:54,350 --> 00:15:52,620 just talking like 343 00:15:56,449 --> 00:15:54,360 to a degree that I don't think is really 344 00:15:57,889 --> 00:15:56,459 realistic um because if the government 345 00:16:00,769 --> 00:15:57,899 is so desperate 346 00:16:06,889 --> 00:16:04,129 um crack the UFO technology 347 00:16:08,930 --> 00:16:06,899 and hire somebody like him then why 348 00:16:12,110 --> 00:16:08,940 wouldn't they just let him 349 00:16:13,250 --> 00:16:12,120 have access to all the information 350 00:16:15,530 --> 00:16:13,260 yeah 351 00:16:17,449 --> 00:16:15,540 now he worked on these things I'm 352 00:16:20,629 --> 00:16:17,459 assuming then he could uh kind of 353 00:16:22,370 --> 00:16:20,639 explain how they work correct he he came 354 00:16:25,189 --> 00:16:22,380 up with some sort of a so-called 355 00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:25,199 explanations for the physics including 356 00:16:28,490 --> 00:16:25,860 um 357 00:16:29,750 --> 00:16:28,500 saying that they use gravity waves which 358 00:16:32,750 --> 00:16:29,760 is already a concept that was known 359 00:16:33,710 --> 00:16:32,760 about since like the early 20th century 360 00:16:35,569 --> 00:16:33,720 um 361 00:16:37,550 --> 00:16:35,579 I think Einstein talked about gravity 362 00:16:39,530 --> 00:16:37,560 waves 363 00:16:42,949 --> 00:16:39,540 um he mentioned that the flying sources 364 00:16:45,009 --> 00:16:42,959 use Element 115 to power 365 00:16:48,350 --> 00:16:45,019 um to initiate an antimatter reaction 366 00:16:51,350 --> 00:16:48,360 which then Powers the um 367 00:16:54,110 --> 00:16:51,360 or it Powers the systems on the ship and 368 00:16:56,509 --> 00:16:54,120 it amplifies the um 369 00:17:00,110 --> 00:16:56,519 the gravitational 370 00:17:02,329 --> 00:17:00,120 uh energy of the um element 115 371 00:17:06,110 --> 00:17:02,339 through these um it's also got like 372 00:17:08,929 --> 00:17:06,120 these uh sort of rectangular shaped um 373 00:17:11,030 --> 00:17:08,939 gravity amplifiers as he calls them sort 374 00:17:14,030 --> 00:17:11,040 of near the bottom of the ship but the 375 00:17:16,250 --> 00:17:14,040 element 115 is used to it's inherently 376 00:17:17,809 --> 00:17:16,260 got gravitational properties according 377 00:17:19,449 --> 00:17:17,819 to him 378 00:17:22,250 --> 00:17:19,459 he claimed um 379 00:17:24,350 --> 00:17:22,260 that if you fire a laser beam over a 380 00:17:26,390 --> 00:17:24,360 chunk of element 115 the laser would 381 00:17:28,429 --> 00:17:26,400 bend away from it 382 00:17:31,669 --> 00:17:28,439 which I could require a crazy amount of 383 00:17:33,530 --> 00:17:31,679 gravity yeah and yes he also says 384 00:17:35,390 --> 00:17:33,540 Atlanta was like um involved in 385 00:17:37,490 --> 00:17:35,400 Machining the parts 386 00:17:40,970 --> 00:17:37,500 like no machine like you can't get near 387 00:17:44,029 --> 00:17:40,980 it if it's able to deflect later right 388 00:17:45,650 --> 00:17:44,039 yeah so this is just like complete 389 00:17:48,950 --> 00:17:45,660 fantasy physics 390 00:17:50,930 --> 00:17:48,960 um it says that it was doing like a 391 00:17:53,210 --> 00:17:50,940 distorting the gravity in front of the 392 00:17:55,390 --> 00:17:53,220 ship or the space time so it was like 393 00:17:57,890 --> 00:17:55,400 basically pulling itself 394 00:17:59,990 --> 00:17:57,900 destination that's actually pretty 395 00:18:00,890 --> 00:18:00,000 similar to some depictions in um 396 00:18:01,669 --> 00:18:00,900 previous 397 00:18:07,190 --> 00:18:01,679 um 398 00:18:08,930 --> 00:18:07,200 well that's intriguing to me yeah 399 00:18:10,250 --> 00:18:08,940 because I haven't heard of that uh I 400 00:18:11,690 --> 00:18:10,260 mean because I don't know a ton about uh 401 00:18:14,029 --> 00:18:11,700 lazar's story but I hadn't heard about 402 00:18:15,890 --> 00:18:14,039 that specific claim uh with Lazar 403 00:18:17,870 --> 00:18:15,900 because so many people uh especially 404 00:18:20,090 --> 00:18:17,880 these days online like on forums on 405 00:18:23,630 --> 00:18:20,100 Reddit and stuff that's like the primary 406 00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:23,640 uh ex-proposed explanation for some of 407 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:25,679 these modern UFOs like the way that they 408 00:18:31,250 --> 00:18:28,320 travel and stuff even uh endorsed by uh 409 00:18:34,549 --> 00:18:31,260 Chris Mellon when he uh tweeted uh like 410 00:18:37,370 --> 00:18:34,559 UAP theory.com a couple years ago and 411 00:18:40,250 --> 00:18:37,380 he's a former assistant Deputy 412 00:18:42,230 --> 00:18:40,260 um Secretary of defer yeah yes something 413 00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:42,240 about intelligence so you know 414 00:18:46,010 --> 00:18:43,919 government official and stuff so you 415 00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:46,020 know it's a prominent thing and uh are 416 00:18:49,430 --> 00:18:47,940 you saying that uh Lazar latched onto 417 00:18:52,789 --> 00:18:49,440 this from something before him as well 418 00:18:55,370 --> 00:18:52,799 well there was lots of um musings about 419 00:18:58,250 --> 00:18:55,380 gravity or anti-gravity as the means of 420 00:19:00,830 --> 00:18:58,260 propulsion for UFOs this goes back to 421 00:19:02,810 --> 00:19:00,840 like the 1950s actually people were 422 00:19:04,850 --> 00:19:02,820 already thinking about this stuff the 423 00:19:07,190 --> 00:19:04,860 government was also in the military were 424 00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:07,200 doing invest into the possibility of 425 00:19:12,289 --> 00:19:09,320 using gravity as a way to propel 426 00:19:15,169 --> 00:19:12,299 spacecraft or missiles or whatever 427 00:19:18,230 --> 00:19:15,179 um that was kind of like um 428 00:19:21,950 --> 00:19:18,240 there's actually a very good article on 429 00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:21,960 uh what's it called the thedrive.com 430 00:19:25,130 --> 00:19:23,940 okay they've got like a military section 431 00:19:26,690 --> 00:19:25,140 there 432 00:19:28,370 --> 00:19:26,700 um it's a very long article about sort 433 00:19:30,230 --> 00:19:28,380 of the the secret government in 434 00:19:32,270 --> 00:19:30,240 investigations into 435 00:19:34,250 --> 00:19:32,280 looking at gravity but it was just like 436 00:19:35,750 --> 00:19:34,260 theoretical physics it didn't really 437 00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:35,760 lead anywhere 438 00:19:40,010 --> 00:19:38,520 so that's another thing well before I 439 00:19:41,029 --> 00:19:40,020 get to that let me just finish your 440 00:19:43,490 --> 00:19:41,039 question though 441 00:19:46,549 --> 00:19:43,500 um so gravity per se was already touted 442 00:19:50,630 --> 00:19:46,559 as a way to propel 443 00:19:52,850 --> 00:19:50,640 um spacecraft but Lazar specific um 444 00:19:55,430 --> 00:19:52,860 claim is that it was like creating a 445 00:19:57,710 --> 00:19:55,440 distortion in front of the spaceship and 446 00:20:00,710 --> 00:19:57,720 that it was um basically pulling the 447 00:20:03,590 --> 00:20:00,720 craft towards that distortion 448 00:20:05,690 --> 00:20:03,600 now um some of those claims 449 00:20:09,110 --> 00:20:05,700 um 450 00:20:10,549 --> 00:20:09,120 so something called the yakubia drive 451 00:20:12,230 --> 00:20:10,559 um there was a physicist called out 452 00:20:14,510 --> 00:20:12,240 kubiere I don't know what his first name 453 00:20:16,430 --> 00:20:14,520 is but he wrote a paper where he 454 00:20:18,710 --> 00:20:16,440 basically proposed something like this 455 00:20:21,230 --> 00:20:18,720 this was after Lazar and some people 456 00:20:24,169 --> 00:20:21,240 have used that to say you know look at 457 00:20:26,630 --> 00:20:24,179 that Lazar was predicting something real 458 00:20:28,370 --> 00:20:26,640 but nobody's actually proven that you 459 00:20:30,169 --> 00:20:28,380 can 460 00:20:33,169 --> 00:20:30,179 um get that much gravity 461 00:20:35,330 --> 00:20:33,179 um in a concentrated you know area you 462 00:20:38,029 --> 00:20:35,340 need a lot of energy for that and it's 463 00:20:40,130 --> 00:20:38,039 only vaguely similar anyway 464 00:20:43,430 --> 00:20:40,140 here the alcubio drive I think that was 465 00:20:46,909 --> 00:20:43,440 proposed in 1994 which was after Lazar 466 00:20:48,350 --> 00:20:46,919 oh yeah you kind of uh touched on this a 467 00:20:50,510 --> 00:20:48,360 second ago Louise but you said this is 468 00:20:53,270 --> 00:20:50,520 all like highly theoretical stuff and 469 00:20:55,190 --> 00:20:53,280 I've noticed that that is kind of the um 470 00:20:57,590 --> 00:20:55,200 the type of physics that gets published 471 00:20:59,930 --> 00:20:57,600 in like popular science magazines and 472 00:21:02,210 --> 00:20:59,940 stuff all this uh non-applicable but 473 00:21:04,190 --> 00:21:02,220 yeah what I like to call like Star Trek 474 00:21:06,770 --> 00:21:04,200 physics kind of like the stuff you see 475 00:21:09,590 --> 00:21:06,780 um Eric Davis talk about now 476 00:21:11,630 --> 00:21:09,600 um so I mean it was very likely that 477 00:21:13,549 --> 00:21:11,640 this stuff was kind of circulating in 478 00:21:15,289 --> 00:21:13,559 pop culture in that kind of Popular 479 00:21:18,590 --> 00:21:15,299 Mechanics Popular Science magazine 480 00:21:21,230 --> 00:21:18,600 sphere right yeah yeah for sure in fact 481 00:21:23,810 --> 00:21:21,240 even the the you know sometimes you hear 482 00:21:26,870 --> 00:21:23,820 claims about the um Nimitz encounters 483 00:21:29,029 --> 00:21:26,880 or um sorry not the nimitzing couches um 484 00:21:31,190 --> 00:21:29,039 the other one where you've got like the 485 00:21:34,190 --> 00:21:31,200 uh what's it called the not the go fast 486 00:21:39,289 --> 00:21:36,409 it's meant to be like a sideways sort of 487 00:21:41,330 --> 00:21:39,299 tipping UFO and some people would say 488 00:21:44,029 --> 00:21:41,340 that that is it like moving exactly as 489 00:21:46,370 --> 00:21:44,039 lizards ascribed uh which it isn't it's 490 00:21:47,810 --> 00:21:46,380 just like Distortion from the IR camera 491 00:21:51,950 --> 00:21:47,820 right 492 00:21:54,169 --> 00:21:51,960 um but even if it was um similar 493 00:21:56,510 --> 00:21:54,179 um that's sort of um description of UFOs 494 00:21:58,130 --> 00:21:56,520 was already doing the rounds in the 495 00:21:59,870 --> 00:21:58,140 1950s 496 00:22:02,090 --> 00:21:59,880 and there are even some like photographs 497 00:22:04,549 --> 00:22:02,100 of comported flying sources like tipped 498 00:22:07,070 --> 00:22:04,559 over on their sides 499 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,080 um Lazar also claimed that the 500 00:22:11,870 --> 00:22:09,600 gravitational interaction with the Earth 501 00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:11,880 like between the Flying Saucer and the 502 00:22:17,870 --> 00:22:15,120 earth made the UFO sort of um 503 00:22:19,490 --> 00:22:17,880 kind of unstable at low speeds like 504 00:22:20,630 --> 00:22:19,500 dotting around almost because of the 505 00:22:21,470 --> 00:22:20,640 gravitational 506 00:22:23,210 --> 00:22:21,480 um 507 00:22:25,370 --> 00:22:23,220 because you know a planet it's got like 508 00:22:26,570 --> 00:22:25,380 different densities on the surface so 509 00:22:30,230 --> 00:22:26,580 the gravity is going to be a little bit 510 00:22:31,909 --> 00:22:30,240 different as we fly over it 511 00:22:33,529 --> 00:22:31,919 um 512 00:22:35,750 --> 00:22:33,539 that was 513 00:22:38,750 --> 00:22:35,760 um actually something that Billy Meyer 514 00:22:40,010 --> 00:22:38,760 said before interesting that sort of 515 00:22:42,230 --> 00:22:40,020 idea 516 00:22:45,230 --> 00:22:42,240 um so I think maybe uh John Leah might 517 00:22:47,390 --> 00:22:45,240 have fed Liza some of those tropes 518 00:22:50,090 --> 00:22:47,400 um and sort of so-called technical 519 00:22:51,350 --> 00:22:50,100 details about flying sources to Lazar I 520 00:22:53,870 --> 00:22:51,360 mean there's just too much of that stuff 521 00:22:55,549 --> 00:22:53,880 to take him seriously 522 00:22:57,169 --> 00:22:55,559 um even if we don't know exactly where 523 00:22:58,130 --> 00:22:57,179 all of his claims came from we can 524 00:23:00,710 --> 00:22:58,140 pretty much 525 00:23:03,289 --> 00:23:00,720 trace the inspiration for almost all of 526 00:23:05,450 --> 00:23:03,299 his claims what's interesting is like it 527 00:23:07,490 --> 00:23:05,460 is the whole UFO narrative as a whole 528 00:23:09,649 --> 00:23:07,500 gains any kind of feature it never is 529 00:23:11,390 --> 00:23:09,659 very unique ever is it it's always 530 00:23:14,149 --> 00:23:11,400 something drummed up by human 531 00:23:15,409 --> 00:23:14,159 imagination ahead of time anyway 532 00:23:17,270 --> 00:23:15,419 mm-hmm 533 00:23:19,850 --> 00:23:17,280 and there's a consistent theme I'm 534 00:23:22,310 --> 00:23:19,860 seeing where um there are like there's 535 00:23:24,529 --> 00:23:22,320 like always like a kernel of like 536 00:23:27,049 --> 00:23:24,539 reality and then they're just these 537 00:23:27,830 --> 00:23:27,059 layers of kind of like story added on to 538 00:23:28,610 --> 00:23:27,840 that 539 00:23:31,909 --> 00:23:28,620 um 540 00:23:34,250 --> 00:23:31,919 and uh it's the same sort of thing that 541 00:23:36,049 --> 00:23:34,260 we've seen throughout the subject in a 542 00:23:38,690 --> 00:23:36,059 variety of ways and you know when you 543 00:23:40,310 --> 00:23:38,700 look at sort of propaganda Theory and 544 00:23:43,669 --> 00:23:40,320 stuff like that you see that the most 545 00:23:46,549 --> 00:23:43,679 compelling propaganda is the blend of 546 00:23:47,210 --> 00:23:46,559 Truth and fiction not just pure fiction 547 00:23:49,870 --> 00:23:47,220 um 548 00:23:53,390 --> 00:23:49,880 to what extent uh Louise like would you 549 00:23:56,270 --> 00:23:53,400 attribute uh like intentionality to Bob 550 00:23:58,370 --> 00:23:56,280 Lazar kind of like being 551 00:24:01,669 --> 00:23:58,380 um deceitful or do you think he sort of 552 00:24:03,710 --> 00:24:01,679 like believes it himself uh what's your 553 00:24:06,529 --> 00:24:03,720 read on his sort of like underlying 554 00:24:08,390 --> 00:24:06,539 psychology uh not to get too deep into 555 00:24:11,210 --> 00:24:08,400 it but just generally 556 00:24:12,770 --> 00:24:11,220 I think that is uh he's not he doesn't 557 00:24:15,169 --> 00:24:12,780 believe what he's saying 558 00:24:20,390 --> 00:24:15,179 um although it's certainly possible but 559 00:24:24,289 --> 00:24:22,909 he um especially with his educational 560 00:24:24,950 --> 00:24:24,299 claims 561 00:24:27,470 --> 00:24:24,960 um 562 00:24:29,210 --> 00:24:27,480 that that already shows him that shows 563 00:24:31,549 --> 00:24:29,220 him to be the type of person who who 564 00:24:33,770 --> 00:24:31,559 could make up a flying source of story 565 00:24:35,390 --> 00:24:33,780 to get fame or attention 566 00:24:37,250 --> 00:24:35,400 like if you're going to lie about your 567 00:24:38,870 --> 00:24:37,260 education and claim that you've got two 568 00:24:40,190 --> 00:24:38,880 master's degrees 569 00:24:41,390 --> 00:24:40,200 I don't think that there's any way that 570 00:24:43,250 --> 00:24:41,400 he could believe that he has two 571 00:24:45,470 --> 00:24:43,260 master's degrees 572 00:24:47,090 --> 00:24:45,480 right okay because like um you know 573 00:24:48,169 --> 00:24:47,100 obviously he's smart enough to know that 574 00:24:50,149 --> 00:24:48,179 you would need 575 00:24:54,710 --> 00:24:50,159 uh 576 00:24:56,270 --> 00:24:54,720 mentions or the documents and stuff like 577 00:24:58,130 --> 00:24:56,280 that he's got absolutely none of that 578 00:25:00,830 --> 00:24:58,140 stuff and he keeps changing his story 579 00:25:02,630 --> 00:25:00,840 actually about them he now claims 580 00:25:05,450 --> 00:25:02,640 um that the Master's Degree was actually 581 00:25:07,430 --> 00:25:05,460 a the MIT degree was actually like a 582 00:25:11,390 --> 00:25:07,440 secret 583 00:25:13,250 --> 00:25:11,400 um program that he was sent to do 584 00:25:14,870 --> 00:25:13,260 and that he can't reveal what it was 585 00:25:16,430 --> 00:25:14,880 really about but it was something 586 00:25:18,970 --> 00:25:16,440 horrible 587 00:25:21,470 --> 00:25:18,980 okay but 588 00:25:24,110 --> 00:25:21,480 we never cleaned out before he was 589 00:25:25,850 --> 00:25:24,120 saying that they erased him 590 00:25:27,230 --> 00:25:25,860 right they raise these records but now 591 00:25:29,029 --> 00:25:27,240 he's saying that it was actually like a 592 00:25:31,070 --> 00:25:29,039 top secret project that he can't talk 593 00:25:32,870 --> 00:25:31,080 about right there never were records 594 00:25:34,430 --> 00:25:32,880 yeah okay that's right it's uh 595 00:25:36,049 --> 00:25:34,440 interesting Phil and brogno who worked 596 00:25:38,090 --> 00:25:36,059 on the Hudson Valley case we talked 597 00:25:40,250 --> 00:25:38,100 about a while ago uh I believe he also 598 00:25:43,130 --> 00:25:40,260 said he had a degree at MIT which he 599 00:25:45,649 --> 00:25:43,140 didn't uh but his excuse was that he 600 00:25:47,630 --> 00:25:45,659 went under a pseudonym as Bob Lazar 601 00:25:50,450 --> 00:25:47,640 tried that one yet 602 00:25:52,430 --> 00:25:50,460 not on the MIT degree I don't think but 603 00:25:54,169 --> 00:25:52,440 he did use a pseudonym when he was first 604 00:25:56,510 --> 00:25:54,179 on TV 605 00:25:59,390 --> 00:25:56,520 um uh when George Knapp wrote the story 606 00:26:00,850 --> 00:25:59,400 he was in silly wet and he was calling 607 00:26:03,830 --> 00:26:00,860 himself Dennis 608 00:26:06,830 --> 00:26:03,840 supposedly the name of his um supervisor 609 00:26:08,269 --> 00:26:06,840 or colleague at S4 610 00:26:10,010 --> 00:26:08,279 um he claimed that he was under threat 611 00:26:12,049 --> 00:26:10,020 from the government 612 00:26:14,930 --> 00:26:12,059 um and that he was trying to reveal the 613 00:26:16,070 --> 00:26:14,940 secrets of the base because his life was 614 00:26:18,529 --> 00:26:16,080 under threat 615 00:26:21,529 --> 00:26:18,539 apparently it wasn't because uh he's 616 00:26:23,710 --> 00:26:21,539 still alive exactly they never raised 617 00:26:26,330 --> 00:26:23,720 his bank account 618 00:26:28,190 --> 00:26:26,340 that's that's another common thing 619 00:26:30,409 --> 00:26:28,200 um we hear from Men In Black stories too 620 00:26:31,909 --> 00:26:30,419 they threaten your life if you uh you 621 00:26:33,470 --> 00:26:31,919 know tell the world these secrets but 622 00:26:35,510 --> 00:26:33,480 we've all heard the Men in Black stories 623 00:26:37,669 --> 00:26:35,520 from these people who survived to tell 624 00:26:39,649 --> 00:26:37,679 them that's that's another interesting 625 00:26:42,230 --> 00:26:39,659 Trope in this story I don't know if it 626 00:26:45,350 --> 00:26:42,240 comes from no Men In Black became way 627 00:26:47,149 --> 00:26:45,360 before yeah he does he comes he claims 628 00:26:49,310 --> 00:26:47,159 that he was basically roughed up by 629 00:26:51,890 --> 00:26:49,320 security men 630 00:26:55,130 --> 00:26:51,900 um one night when he was um 631 00:26:57,649 --> 00:26:55,140 uh out with uh George maybe not George 632 00:27:01,250 --> 00:26:57,659 Napper with um John Leo 633 00:27:02,930 --> 00:27:01,260 and uh Gene Huff who was his business 634 00:27:04,850 --> 00:27:02,940 associate 635 00:27:05,570 --> 00:27:04,860 um they were out near the perimeter of 636 00:27:08,690 --> 00:27:05,580 um 637 00:27:10,970 --> 00:27:08,700 uh Papoose the general area and they 638 00:27:13,070 --> 00:27:10,980 were filming 639 00:27:15,049 --> 00:27:13,080 um you know with one of those ancient uh 640 00:27:16,669 --> 00:27:15,059 1980s camcorders 641 00:27:18,289 --> 00:27:16,679 um some lights in the sky which was 642 00:27:19,850 --> 00:27:18,299 supposedly test flights of the flying 643 00:27:23,269 --> 00:27:19,860 sources 644 00:27:24,970 --> 00:27:23,279 and uh he got arrested and um 645 00:27:27,350 --> 00:27:24,980 they threatened him 646 00:27:29,269 --> 00:27:27,360 to kill him basically 647 00:27:31,190 --> 00:27:29,279 but and they let him go for some reason 648 00:27:34,549 --> 00:27:31,200 yeah 649 00:27:36,890 --> 00:27:34,559 right don't worry everybody else uh we 650 00:27:39,830 --> 00:27:36,900 have Jeff Knox here in the chat he's 651 00:27:42,289 --> 00:27:39,840 saying um that Bob Lazar says degrees 652 00:27:44,450 --> 00:27:42,299 don't matter but he was visiting friends 653 00:27:46,669 --> 00:27:44,460 who went to those schools and audited 654 00:27:49,610 --> 00:27:46,679 classes with them but he no longer 655 00:27:50,269 --> 00:27:49,620 claims to even have the degrees 656 00:27:51,890 --> 00:27:50,279 um 657 00:27:53,630 --> 00:27:51,900 let's see how many degrees he was 658 00:27:56,630 --> 00:27:53,640 visiting France not at a classes and 659 00:28:00,289 --> 00:27:56,640 this is uh he told Linda Moulton Howe in 660 00:28:02,510 --> 00:28:00,299 99 interesting so I will take anything 661 00:28:06,169 --> 00:28:02,520 that um Linda says with a grain of salt 662 00:28:08,450 --> 00:28:06,179 but um okay yeah even she's saying that 663 00:28:10,549 --> 00:28:08,460 Lazar is full of crap then 664 00:28:13,130 --> 00:28:10,559 the place that he is interesting well 665 00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:13,140 yeah that Beyond him not being able to 666 00:28:17,750 --> 00:28:15,720 Black back up his extraordinary claims I 667 00:28:20,570 --> 00:28:17,760 mean we realized that his 668 00:28:23,690 --> 00:28:20,580 um his educational history is a lie and 669 00:28:25,909 --> 00:28:23,700 makes him an unreliable person right it 670 00:28:27,409 --> 00:28:25,919 kind of begs the question why is he 671 00:28:32,090 --> 00:28:27,419 still prominent today like why is Joe 672 00:28:34,789 --> 00:28:32,100 Rogan talking about him today in 2023 is 673 00:28:37,549 --> 00:28:34,799 it roganism arguably also sort of a 674 00:28:41,269 --> 00:28:37,559 Libertarian type would you say yes yeah 675 00:28:42,590 --> 00:28:41,279 yeah and um I think that Liza's story 676 00:28:46,430 --> 00:28:42,600 kind of um 677 00:28:49,810 --> 00:28:46,440 segues into uh Rogan's ideology in a to 678 00:28:52,690 --> 00:28:49,820 a large extent so interesting yeah 679 00:28:56,090 --> 00:28:52,700 Rogan's interested in UFOs anyway and 680 00:28:58,010 --> 00:28:56,100 like big Cosmic questions uh 681 00:28:59,990 --> 00:28:58,020 um and Lazar is sort of a good catch for 682 00:29:01,730 --> 00:29:00,000 that type of show because 683 00:29:04,610 --> 00:29:01,740 um you know he still believed by many 684 00:29:06,769 --> 00:29:04,620 people so he's actually got about 52 685 00:29:10,850 --> 00:29:06,779 million views now from that 686 00:29:15,590 --> 00:29:10,860 um video incredible yeah even though he 687 00:29:20,810 --> 00:29:17,750 so you know all these sort of 688 00:29:22,250 --> 00:29:20,820 contradictory claims that Lazar makes 689 00:29:24,889 --> 00:29:22,260 um and there's also of course the 690 00:29:27,529 --> 00:29:24,899 brothels that he invested in he invested 691 00:29:29,990 --> 00:29:27,539 in a brothel in the early 80s and then 692 00:29:32,990 --> 00:29:30,000 he did it again in the early 90s were 693 00:29:36,649 --> 00:29:33,000 these uh in states where it's legal or 694 00:29:39,470 --> 00:29:36,659 uh yeah okay but that in Nevada 695 00:29:40,789 --> 00:29:39,480 um where it's apparently legal to do 696 00:29:43,490 --> 00:29:40,799 that but I mean that's not really the 697 00:29:45,710 --> 00:29:43,500 point yeah yeah is that um that would 698 00:29:48,529 --> 00:29:45,720 make you a KGB magnet 699 00:29:50,389 --> 00:29:48,539 because um Soviet intelligence at the 700 00:29:52,130 --> 00:29:50,399 time was still very much active in the 701 00:29:54,769 --> 00:29:52,140 US trying to 702 00:29:56,570 --> 00:29:54,779 um get whatever Scoops they could on 703 00:29:58,490 --> 00:29:56,580 American secret programs especially 704 00:30:01,130 --> 00:29:58,500 Aerospace and weapons 705 00:30:03,409 --> 00:30:01,140 and um somebody like Lazar would be seen 706 00:30:05,570 --> 00:30:03,419 by Soviet intelligences 707 00:30:07,789 --> 00:30:05,580 um somebody you could compromise like 708 00:30:09,950 --> 00:30:07,799 you could blackmail him 709 00:30:11,750 --> 00:30:09,960 um and so like that would already put a 710 00:30:14,029 --> 00:30:11,760 red line through his name if they're 711 00:30:16,310 --> 00:30:14,039 trying to U.S government military is 712 00:30:18,350 --> 00:30:16,320 trying to you know recruit people for a 713 00:30:19,850 --> 00:30:18,360 program like that then there's also the 714 00:30:23,990 --> 00:30:19,860 revelations about 715 00:30:26,149 --> 00:30:24,000 um lazar's ex his wife um Carol who um 716 00:30:28,190 --> 00:30:26,159 apparently was in the Hell's Angels and 717 00:30:29,750 --> 00:30:28,200 had been involved in a murder 718 00:30:40,250 --> 00:30:29,760 interesting 719 00:30:42,169 --> 00:30:40,260 yeah did the did the uh the brothel 720 00:30:43,690 --> 00:30:42,179 Investments take place before the 721 00:30:47,210 --> 00:30:43,700 alleged um 722 00:30:49,730 --> 00:30:47,220 the first one did those in the early 80s 723 00:30:51,649 --> 00:30:49,740 and then the other one was like in 92 724 00:30:54,110 --> 00:30:51,659 93. 725 00:30:57,289 --> 00:30:54,120 um and George Knapp apparently 726 00:31:00,230 --> 00:30:57,299 um he tells his story as well that told 727 00:31:02,210 --> 00:31:00,240 him hey George I've got this brothel on 728 00:31:03,049 --> 00:31:02,220 your street no less 729 00:31:05,630 --> 00:31:03,059 um 730 00:31:07,610 --> 00:31:05,640 and then nap is like uh you have to stop 731 00:31:09,230 --> 00:31:07,620 this immediately because um 732 00:31:11,149 --> 00:31:09,240 there are people who want you to crash 733 00:31:13,370 --> 00:31:11,159 and burn and they're going to use this 734 00:31:15,710 --> 00:31:13,380 as like evidence against you so that 735 00:31:18,590 --> 00:31:15,720 then they go they go to the police 736 00:31:21,649 --> 00:31:18,600 um to you know basically come clean 737 00:31:24,769 --> 00:31:21,659 the police arrest Bob for pandering and 738 00:31:26,830 --> 00:31:24,779 then um he goes to court he's uh he 739 00:31:29,510 --> 00:31:26,840 pleads guilty to pandering 740 00:31:32,210 --> 00:31:29,520 although he says sometimes that he was 741 00:31:34,750 --> 00:31:32,220 just um installing computer equipment in 742 00:31:37,610 --> 00:31:34,760 the brothel like security equipment 743 00:31:39,830 --> 00:31:37,620 but in fact um 744 00:31:42,470 --> 00:31:39,840 one of the police affidavits or court 745 00:31:45,409 --> 00:31:42,480 documents um says that the Madame of the 746 00:31:49,430 --> 00:31:45,419 brothel actually 747 00:31:51,409 --> 00:31:49,440 um hadlazar as like a co-investor so he 748 00:31:53,990 --> 00:31:51,419 was much more involved than just like 749 00:31:56,029 --> 00:31:54,000 installing computer equipment right but 750 00:31:59,630 --> 00:31:56,039 anyway like again this kind of shows a 751 00:32:04,070 --> 00:31:59,640 psychological predisposition to 752 00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:04,080 um that sort of CD business and um 753 00:32:07,730 --> 00:32:05,700 you know the gov I don't see the 754 00:32:09,710 --> 00:32:07,740 government hiring somebody 755 00:32:12,889 --> 00:32:09,720 um to a program like to the most 756 00:32:13,549 --> 00:32:12,899 important program in U.S history 757 00:32:15,830 --> 00:32:13,559 um 758 00:32:18,769 --> 00:32:15,840 you know namely cracking anti-gravity 759 00:32:21,110 --> 00:32:18,779 technology from another planet 760 00:32:24,409 --> 00:32:21,120 um giving somebody like Lazada keys to 761 00:32:28,310 --> 00:32:24,419 that sure look as he pointed out he uh 762 00:32:30,470 --> 00:32:28,320 easily compromised yes and also lies 763 00:32:32,450 --> 00:32:30,480 about his um background 764 00:32:34,130 --> 00:32:32,460 so again it shows that he's the type of 765 00:32:36,649 --> 00:32:34,140 person who would make up a story about 766 00:32:38,690 --> 00:32:36,659 working on flying sources so then we're 767 00:32:40,370 --> 00:32:38,700 just left with what's the actual 768 00:32:42,649 --> 00:32:40,380 evidence for his claims and there's 769 00:32:45,769 --> 00:32:42,659 really no evidence right 770 00:32:47,990 --> 00:32:45,779 it's just his his his word 771 00:32:51,049 --> 00:32:48,000 right because it sounds like he he's 772 00:32:53,930 --> 00:32:51,059 sort of um like took from a range of 773 00:32:55,549 --> 00:32:53,940 nice niche sub subjects that were 774 00:32:59,049 --> 00:32:55,559 occurring kind of around when he was 775 00:33:01,430 --> 00:32:59,059 working uh at Area 51 as uh you know a 776 00:33:02,990 --> 00:33:01,440 technician of some kind installing 777 00:33:04,250 --> 00:33:03,000 equipment and stuff 778 00:33:05,769 --> 00:33:04,260 um not a physicist like he was saying 779 00:33:08,450 --> 00:33:05,779 and then 780 00:33:10,610 --> 00:33:08,460 he probably never worked at Area 51 but 781 00:33:12,529 --> 00:33:10,620 okay thank you yes okay 782 00:33:16,430 --> 00:33:12,539 um but then so there's like these 783 00:33:18,710 --> 00:33:16,440 elements like 115 Element 115 uh like it 784 00:33:19,970 --> 00:33:18,720 was this like it was discovered around 785 00:33:22,190 --> 00:33:19,980 that time right like I remember 786 00:33:24,590 --> 00:33:22,200 something about like it had been in like 787 00:33:26,630 --> 00:33:24,600 a published in a paper like kind of 788 00:33:27,789 --> 00:33:26,640 close to when he was uh talking about it 789 00:33:31,130 --> 00:33:27,799 so anyway 790 00:33:34,009 --> 00:33:31,140 American article talked about it in the 791 00:33:35,870 --> 00:33:34,019 weeks up to his uh 792 00:33:38,330 --> 00:33:35,880 going public 793 00:33:39,529 --> 00:33:38,340 right but in fact Element 115 was being 794 00:33:42,110 --> 00:33:39,539 talked about in the scientific 795 00:33:45,529 --> 00:33:42,120 literature since at least the early 796 00:33:47,690 --> 00:33:45,539 1970s if not earlier 797 00:33:49,549 --> 00:33:47,700 it's been synthesized since then right 798 00:33:52,430 --> 00:33:49,559 it has been but that's that had nothing 799 00:33:54,230 --> 00:33:52,440 to do with Lazar um right like the 800 00:33:57,649 --> 00:33:54,240 properties don't match up it was an 801 00:34:00,769 --> 00:33:57,659 unstable Isis Lazar says that the um 802 00:34:03,830 --> 00:34:00,779 alien spaceship used a stable isotope of 803 00:34:05,570 --> 00:34:03,840 element 115 at the time he never 804 00:34:07,909 --> 00:34:05,580 mentioned the um 805 00:34:10,970 --> 00:34:07,919 the mass number so like 806 00:34:13,730 --> 00:34:10,980 uh the number of the neutrons plus 807 00:34:16,369 --> 00:34:13,740 protons okay 808 00:34:19,070 --> 00:34:16,379 it is present actually the mass number 809 00:34:21,169 --> 00:34:19,080 is present on merchandise on his 810 00:34:23,030 --> 00:34:21,179 company's website but we don't know 811 00:34:26,629 --> 00:34:23,040 where he got the idea for that I think 812 00:34:28,010 --> 00:34:26,639 299 is the mass number that he touts but 813 00:34:31,790 --> 00:34:28,020 he never mentioned that back in the day 814 00:34:34,010 --> 00:34:31,800 interesting um so I mean Element 115 it 815 00:34:35,810 --> 00:34:34,020 doesn't at all prove is the fact that it 816 00:34:38,810 --> 00:34:35,820 was synthesized we would expect it to be 817 00:34:40,490 --> 00:34:38,820 synthesized because that was already 818 00:34:43,550 --> 00:34:40,500 stuff that was being done at the time 819 00:34:45,349 --> 00:34:43,560 like you know elements are synthesized 820 00:34:47,089 --> 00:34:45,359 sometimes only for a few milliseconds 821 00:34:48,050 --> 00:34:47,099 but 822 00:34:50,030 --> 00:34:48,060 um 823 00:34:52,550 --> 00:34:50,040 he says that again it has special 824 00:34:53,570 --> 00:34:52,560 gravitational properties 825 00:34:55,730 --> 00:34:53,580 um 826 00:34:57,109 --> 00:34:55,740 no I mean it's just an element it 827 00:34:58,670 --> 00:34:57,119 doesn't have any magical properties 828 00:35:00,650 --> 00:34:58,680 right 829 00:35:01,910 --> 00:35:00,660 um and we don't find it on Earth we 830 00:35:04,730 --> 00:35:01,920 don't find it in the solar system 831 00:35:06,230 --> 00:35:04,740 anywhere we've looked and it is 832 00:35:08,690 --> 00:35:06,240 conceivable that out there in the 833 00:35:11,450 --> 00:35:08,700 universe there is a large amount of 834 00:35:14,390 --> 00:35:11,460 element 115 and some more stable form 835 00:35:16,849 --> 00:35:14,400 but um he doesn't know he doesn't 836 00:35:18,650 --> 00:35:16,859 remember what the spectrograph look like 837 00:35:21,650 --> 00:35:18,660 even though he supposedly was the one 838 00:35:22,990 --> 00:35:21,660 who identified it as four 839 00:35:32,089 --> 00:35:23,000 um 840 00:35:35,569 --> 00:35:32,099 an early interview I think in 1990 with 841 00:35:38,210 --> 00:35:35,579 Michael lindelman Liza says that um 842 00:35:42,470 --> 00:35:38,220 he thinks that the cash Landrum 843 00:35:44,329 --> 00:35:42,480 uh spaceship or craft used a plutonium 844 00:35:47,750 --> 00:35:44,339 instead of 115 but that it was 845 00:35:50,630 --> 00:35:47,760 replicating the gravitational properties 846 00:35:53,390 --> 00:35:50,640 of the sport model or the spaceships 847 00:35:56,630 --> 00:35:53,400 that they had at S4 this is before they 848 00:35:58,670 --> 00:35:56,640 supposedly had him come in to determine 849 00:36:01,130 --> 00:35:58,680 what the element was 850 00:36:02,750 --> 00:36:01,140 so why would they need him to come in if 851 00:36:05,990 --> 00:36:02,760 they were already reverse engineering at 852 00:36:07,849 --> 00:36:06,000 like back in the late 1970s or whenever 853 00:36:10,550 --> 00:36:07,859 it occurred 1980 I think the cash 854 00:36:13,550 --> 00:36:10,560 flandrum was uh yeah I believe it's 855 00:36:16,670 --> 00:36:13,560 weird a lot of lazar's like statements 856 00:36:19,790 --> 00:36:16,680 and uh sort of uh claims like he seems 857 00:36:23,450 --> 00:36:19,800 to get very specific about things in a 858 00:36:25,250 --> 00:36:23,460 way that like can be verified to some 859 00:36:27,950 --> 00:36:25,260 extent and then like there's a 860 00:36:30,770 --> 00:36:27,960 consistent attempt to do so and it just 861 00:36:32,990 --> 00:36:30,780 sort of like recedes progressively as 862 00:36:34,310 --> 00:36:33,000 you try to snap like lock something down 863 00:36:50,089 --> 00:36:34,320 like 864 00:36:51,050 --> 00:36:50,099 known in the UFO sort of community 865 00:36:53,510 --> 00:36:51,060 um 866 00:36:54,710 --> 00:36:53,520 do you have any insight on like like 867 00:36:56,690 --> 00:36:54,720 there are been like there are more 868 00:36:59,690 --> 00:36:56,700 compelling narratives out there what's 869 00:37:03,609 --> 00:36:59,700 sort of the central core reason why 870 00:37:09,829 --> 00:37:07,310 it kind of us brings it all together 871 00:37:11,870 --> 00:37:09,839 um his story is um it was already 872 00:37:14,569 --> 00:37:11,880 converging before he 873 00:37:17,990 --> 00:37:14,579 told it because you had um things like 874 00:37:20,089 --> 00:37:18,000 the 1988 UFO cover-up live TV special 875 00:37:23,990 --> 00:37:20,099 where many people were 876 00:37:25,849 --> 00:37:24,000 on the show many UFO personalities were 877 00:37:28,250 --> 00:37:25,859 telling tropes and stories that Lazar 878 00:37:30,650 --> 00:37:28,260 would later reprise 879 00:37:32,030 --> 00:37:30,660 um what is this event that's quite 880 00:37:35,390 --> 00:37:32,040 interesting I've never heard of this you 881 00:37:40,849 --> 00:37:35,400 can find it on YouTube excellent 882

00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:03,839 yeah it should be 955 00:41:11,510 --> 00:41:08,880 all over the place hopefully yeah there 956 00:41:18,890 --> 00:41:11,520 we go okay you guys can hear that 957 00:41:24,050 --> 00:41:21,890 play their primary purpose was to keep 958 00:41:27,109 --> 00:41:24,060 track of the information coming in on 959 00:41:30,470 --> 00:41:27,119 UFOs and to analyze the information both 960 00:41:32,750 --> 00:41:30,480 uh scientifically and in a way that 961 00:41:35,589 --> 00:41:32,760 would Advance our technology there are 962 00:41:38,750 --> 00:41:35,599 government officials and Collective 963 00:41:43,390 --> 00:41:38,760 officials that are automatically brief 964 00:41:47,270 --> 00:41:43,400 and existence of view mj-12 activities 965 00:41:50,990 --> 00:41:47,280 okay wow creepy you can tell it's him eh 966 00:41:56,930 --> 00:41:53,569 that's funny okay well that's amazing 967 00:41:59,750 --> 00:41:56,940 though yes Lazar did talk about mj-12 in 968 00:42:02,870 --> 00:41:59,760 in the extent that he says um that is 969 00:42:04,130 --> 00:42:02,880 security ID badge at S4 said match on it 970 00:42:07,130 --> 00:42:04,140 maj 971 00:42:08,750 --> 00:42:07,140 and all for his um supposed W2 tax form 972 00:42:11,630 --> 00:42:08,760 had 973 00:42:15,349 --> 00:42:11,640 um Maj on it as well 974 00:42:18,470 --> 00:42:15,359 I've seen A Renewed interest in the 975 00:42:19,849 --> 00:42:18,480 mj-12 documents as well lately and I 976 00:42:21,290 --> 00:42:19,859 think that's really interesting I didn't 977 00:42:23,329 --> 00:42:21,300 think that there was really any more 978 00:42:26,510 --> 00:42:23,339 room for that after 979 00:42:28,310 --> 00:42:26,520 um how was it class who found the uh the 980 00:42:30,650 --> 00:42:28,320 cut and pasted signatures on those 981 00:42:33,310 --> 00:42:30,660 documents right right 982 00:42:37,130 --> 00:42:33,320 but it keeps rearing its ugly head yeah 983 00:42:39,470 --> 00:42:37,140 that document the mj-12 it's 984 00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:39,480 um a pretty Infamous one right is that's 985 00:42:44,150 --> 00:42:41,520 the origin if I recall correctly of the 986 00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:44,160 whole uh belief in uh the Eisen 987 00:42:48,710 --> 00:42:47,040 President Eisenhower was like inspiring 988 00:42:50,750 --> 00:42:48,720 with aliens and stuff 989 00:42:53,569 --> 00:42:50,760 um yeah and it's been quite uh 990 00:42:55,730 --> 00:42:53,579 thoroughly uh debunked as you pointed 991 00:42:57,589 --> 00:42:55,740 out nick uh a very significant document 992 00:42:59,690 --> 00:42:57,599 though yeah 993 00:43:02,210 --> 00:42:59,700 within the culture yeah 994 00:43:03,710 --> 00:43:02,220 it's also in the latest installation of 995 00:43:06,530 --> 00:43:03,720 American Horror Story 996 00:43:09,349 --> 00:43:06,540 interesting really I haven't watched it 997 00:43:11,870 --> 00:43:09,359 in a long time you seem like um making a 998 00:43:14,210 --> 00:43:11,880 deal with the aliens and stuff like that 999 00:43:16,849 --> 00:43:14,220 the Roswell crash 1000 00:43:18,410 --> 00:43:16,859 it's where he uh he agreed to like so 1001 00:43:19,970 --> 00:43:18,420 many number of American citizens are 1002 00:43:22,849 --> 00:43:19,980 allowed to be abducted 1003 00:43:26,170 --> 00:43:22,859 right for their nefarious experiments 1004 00:43:33,470 --> 00:43:26,180 it's a cool plot like 1005 00:43:38,750 --> 00:43:36,290 that that was you know the Dulce base 1006 00:43:40,190 --> 00:43:38,760 um it was housing like a secret alien 1007 00:43:42,829 --> 00:43:40,200 research facility where American 1008 00:43:44,390 --> 00:43:42,839 citizens were being kidnapped and 1009 00:43:47,030 --> 00:43:44,400 um experimented on and that the 1010 00:43:47,930 --> 00:43:47,040 government knew about this 1011 00:43:50,870 --> 00:43:47,940 um 1012 00:43:52,550 --> 00:43:50,880 and uh I think Cooper believed that for 1013 00:43:54,410 --> 00:43:52,560 a while but I think he dropped out of 1014 00:43:57,530 --> 00:43:54,420 that belief 1015 00:43:58,910 --> 00:43:57,540 um John Leah believed it 1016 00:44:01,130 --> 00:43:58,920 um 1017 00:44:03,950 --> 00:44:01,140 yeah John Lear is such an interesting 1018 00:44:05,930 --> 00:44:03,960 person but uh 1019 00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:05,940 yeah it might not have been a Lazar 1020 00:44:11,450 --> 00:44:09,000 without John Leo possibly 1021 00:44:14,030 --> 00:44:11,460 and uh I'm not super familiar with uh 1022 00:44:17,030 --> 00:44:14,040 John Lear you said he was like a radio 1023 00:44:18,890 --> 00:44:17,040 host at the time kind of on the Liberian 1024 00:44:21,470 --> 00:44:18,900 side of things is that uh kind of 1025 00:44:23,510 --> 00:44:21,480 roughly correct he was a very proficient 1026 00:44:26,690 --> 00:44:23,520 pilot he's doing like dozens of 1027 00:44:28,910 --> 00:44:26,700 different airframes he um 1028 00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:28,920 worked at the Nevada Test Site during 1029 00:44:31,490 --> 00:44:30,720 the early 80s 1030 00:44:35,569 --> 00:44:31,500 um 1031 00:44:37,790 --> 00:44:35,579 back to my website there's actually yeah 1032 00:44:40,430 --> 00:44:37,800 an article there about him 1033 00:44:43,069 --> 00:44:40,440 you see a photo of him um from the early 1034 00:44:45,109 --> 00:44:43,079 80s next to one of the um 1035 00:44:48,230 --> 00:44:45,119 aircraft that he flew over the site to 1036 00:44:49,490 --> 00:44:48,240 collect air samples because they were um 1037 00:44:51,290 --> 00:44:49,500 you know they were testing nuclear 1038 00:44:53,210 --> 00:44:51,300 weapons there underground but they were 1039 00:44:55,190 --> 00:44:53,220 concerned that some of the 1040 00:44:57,829 --> 00:44:55,200 radioactive material was leaking out 1041 00:44:59,450 --> 00:44:57,839 into the atmosphere so they will do some 1042 00:45:01,250 --> 00:44:59,460 oh it's not in that one it's in the 1043 00:45:03,690 --> 00:45:01,260 other Lazar 1044 00:45:06,589 --> 00:45:03,700 um oh yeah let's go back up to blog 1045 00:45:08,950 --> 00:45:06,599 [Music] 1046

that's an interesting element of 1055 00:45:37,430 --> 00:45:34,260 this too actually the the sort of like 1056 00:45:39,829 --> 00:45:37,440 the rich kid interest in UFOs like we 1057 00:45:41,569 --> 00:45:39,839 have like uh you know Chris Mellon of 1058 00:45:45,589 --> 00:45:41,579 the melon family 1059 00:45:48,349 --> 00:45:45,599 um gosh who else is there um well Leslie 1060 00:45:49,910

00:45:56,990 I don't know how he grew up though I 1064 00:46:00,470 --> 00:45:58,200 guess he grew up kind of middle class 1065 00:46:02,450 --> 00:46:00,480 right 1066 00:46:03,829 --> 00:46:02,460

00:46:12,950 --> 00:46:10,980 here we go John Lear and Bill Cooper 1070 00:46:14,450 --> 00:46:12,960 is there a section uh specifically you 1071 00:46:16,790 --> 00:46:14,460 were looking for uh Louise or should I 1072 00:46:20,450 --> 00:46:16,800 scroll down and you can kind of uh yeah 1073 00:46:21,890 --> 00:46:20,460 just scroll down yeah sure we'll hit it 1074 00:46:24,170 --> 00:46:21,900 eventually 1075 00:46:26,630 --> 00:46:24,180 um it's just my correspondence with um 1076 00:46:29,870 --> 00:46:26,640 Amy and she um 1077 00:46:32,329 --> 00:46:29,880 she gave me that um 1078 00:46:34,670 --> 00:46:32,339 uh that graphic up there that's an ID 1079 00:46:37,849 --> 00:46:34,680 badge by the way at the Nevada test site 1080 00:46:40,390 --> 00:46:37,859 that they were using and uh lazar's 1081 00:46:43,970 --> 00:46:40,400 um ID badge that he sort of 1082 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:43,980 reconstructed from memory as he says 1083 00:46:49,730 --> 00:46:47,520 um is not period accurate the style the 1084 00:46:51,550 --> 00:46:49,740 um card doesn't match when he supposedly 1085 00:46:54,589 --> 00:46:51,560 worked that S4 1086 00:46:55,910 --> 00:46:54,599 does it does it look similar to a more 1087 00:46:57,890 --> 00:46:55,920 recent one though 1088 00:47:00,109 --> 00:46:57,900 it looks more similar to the older ones 1089 00:47:02,150 --> 00:47:00,119 but then in the late 80s they updated 1090 00:47:04,550 --> 00:47:02,160 them and that's when Lazar supposedly 1091 00:47:07,030 --> 00:47:04,560 worked there but it doesn't match up I 1092 00:47:12,710 --> 00:47:09,490 uh your language 1093 00:47:16,790 --> 00:47:12,720 Lazar stands exposed as a compulsive 1094 00:47:17,870 --> 00:47:16,800 plagiarist of narrative elements nice 1095 00:47:21,950 --> 00:47:17,880 yeah 1096 00:47:24,230 --> 00:47:21,960 must have scrolled over it because uh 1097 00:47:27,530 --> 00:47:24,240 okay oh here we go yeah that's 1098 00:47:31,690 --> 00:47:29,150 found the backstory of the security 1099 00:47:34,010 --> 00:47:31,700 badge 1100 00:47:36,530 --> 00:47:34,020 Amy's stepfather actually worked at the 1101 00:47:38,630 --> 00:47:36,540 Nevada Test Site um 1102 00:47:40,670 --> 00:47:38,640 and he knew a lot about 1103 00:47:43,309 --> 00:47:40,680 um obviously the goings on there 1104 00:47:44,750 --> 00:47:43,319 and um so does Amy because she's a does 1105 00:47:45,829 --> 00:47:44,760 a lot of research into this kind of 1106 00:47:47,450 --> 00:47:45,839 stuff 1107 00:47:49,370 --> 00:47:47,460 right and so you've done a fair bit of 1108 00:47:50,930 --> 00:47:49,380 digging like yourself Louise I just want 1109 00:47:52,550 --> 00:47:50,940 to emphasize that like you've been 1110 00:47:55,190 --> 00:47:52,560 communicating with these individuals 1111 00:47:57,410 --> 00:47:55,200 directly getting the stories like from 1112 00:47:59,870 --> 00:47:57,420 people who sort of are 1113 00:48:02,450 --> 00:47:59,880 attached at least tangentially to the 1114 00:48:05,030 --> 00:48:02,460 actual situation on the ground 1115 00:48:06,829 --> 00:48:05,040 it's quite interesting yeah 1116 00:48:09,950 --> 00:48:06,839 now there's a there's another similar 1117 00:48:12,530 --> 00:48:09,960 claim from uh Lazar about hand scanners 1118 00:48:15,410 --> 00:48:12,540 too right that's kind of there the 1119 00:48:16,250 --> 00:48:15,420 identum at hand scanner yeah which is 1120 00:48:19,490 --> 00:48:16,260 actually 1121 00:48:20,930 --> 00:48:19,500 um seen in the 2000 sorry uh the movie 1122 00:48:24,109 --> 00:48:20,940 um Close Encounters of the Third Kind 1123 00:48:26,809 --> 00:48:24,119 which came out in 1977 I think 1124 00:48:29,210 --> 00:48:26,819 you see one of those there but the 1125 00:48:31,550 --> 00:48:29,220 identament was actually seen in an 1126 00:48:34,730 --> 00:48:31,560 Electronics catalogs since like the late 1127 00:48:36,950 --> 00:48:34,740 60s interesting it was also used at the 1128 00:48:38,569 --> 00:48:36,960 Tonopah test range during some of the 1129 00:48:42,410 --> 00:48:38,579 developments of the um 1130 00:48:45,650 --> 00:48:42,420 the F-117 Stealth aircraft and 1131 00:48:47,089 --> 00:48:45,660 um possibly Jim tagliani told uh Lazar 1132 00:48:48,109 --> 00:48:47,099 about that so that could have been the 1133 00:48:50,030 --> 00:48:48,119 inspiration 1134 00:48:51,890 --> 00:48:50,040 for saying that they they will use it as 1135 00:48:53,930 --> 00:48:51,900 for 1136 00:48:56,630 --> 00:48:53,940 right so so this is like you're just 1137 00:48:58,849 --> 00:48:56,640 basically yeah in this article you've uh 1138 00:49:00,430 --> 00:48:58,859 written a blog post going through sort 1139 00:49:03,829 --> 00:49:00,440 of the individual 1140 00:49:06,530 --> 00:49:03,839 items the claims and then just testing 1141 00:49:09,890 --> 00:49:06,540 them against information that can be 1142 00:49:12,290 --> 00:49:09,900 accessed and um so it doesn't come out 1143 00:49:15,349 --> 00:49:12,300 well at all uh for for Bob and 1144 00:49:17,270 --> 00:49:15,359 unfortunately for uh his supporters 1145 00:49:19,370 --> 00:49:17,280 you can always make a more elaborate 1146 00:49:20,450 --> 00:49:19,380 story uh that you know they covered this 1147 00:49:22,790 --> 00:49:20,460 up or 1148 00:49:24,410 --> 00:49:22,800 whatever but like it just becomes too 1149 00:49:25,970 --> 00:49:24,420 convoluted 1150 00:49:28,970 --> 00:49:25,980 and um 1151 00:49:30,410 --> 00:49:28,980 obviously not very parsimonious well and 1152 00:49:32,829 --> 00:49:30,420 just think it's like this is like one 1153 00:49:36,589 --> 00:49:32,839 Claim about a badge yeah and it's like 1154 00:49:39,589 --> 00:49:36,599 item after item can be identified as 1155 00:49:42,890 --> 00:49:39,599 problematic like it's like why is he so 1156 00:49:45,109 --> 00:49:42,900 bad at this why is he making such 1157 00:49:47,150 --> 00:49:45,119 specific I guess people are like 1158 00:49:50,470 --> 00:49:47,160 prompting him for specifics like what's 1159 00:49:52,550 --> 00:49:50,480 what's going on here yeah 1160 00:49:54,349 --> 00:49:52,560 give these little um sort of 1161 00:49:55,130 --> 00:49:54,359 confirmations but then when you look at 1162 00:49:57,349 --> 00:49:55,140 them 1163 00:49:59,930 --> 00:49:57,359 they don't add up and then there's also 1164 00:50:01,069 --> 00:49:59,940 the vague claims that he makes where he 1165 00:50:03,109 --> 00:50:01,079 knows that a lot of people are not 1166 00:50:05,809 --> 00:50:03,119 scientifically 1167 00:50:07,430 --> 00:50:05,819 um you know minded or literate and he 1168 00:50:10,430 --> 00:50:07,440 can just basically get away with stuff 1169 00:50:13,250 --> 00:50:10,440 that sounds sort of sciency she does 1170 00:50:15,050 --> 00:50:13,260 that a lot as well it was so long ago 1171 00:50:16,370 --> 00:50:15,060 that he can't remember or that he can't 1172 00:50:18,410 --> 00:50:16,380 talk about it because he doesn't want to 1173 00:50:23,150 --> 00:50:18,420 get people in trouble so there's always 1174 00:50:27,950 --> 00:50:25,430 yeah it's a lot like the um the appeals 1175 00:50:30,829 --> 00:50:27,960 to quantum physics now or even appeals 1176 00:50:33,650 --> 00:50:30,839 to Consciousness yeah 1177 00:50:35,030 --> 00:50:33,660 now he he does seem to be an Unsinkable 1178 00:50:37,609 --> 00:50:35,040 rubber ducky do you think that is 1179 00:50:40,309 --> 00:50:37,619 partially because uh more contemporary 1180 00:50:43,430 --> 00:50:40,319 figures are still kind of backing them 1181 00:50:45,290 --> 00:50:43,440 up like I think George Knapp still uh 1182 00:50:46,910 --> 00:50:45,300 contends that he's telling the truth 1183 00:50:49,790 --> 00:50:46,920 right 1184 00:50:52,309 --> 00:50:49,800 yeah George Knapp is um basically I 1185 00:50:54,589 --> 00:50:52,319 think dug himself into a hole or his um 1186 00:50:56,750 --> 00:50:54,599 sunken his costs into the Lazar story 1187 00:50:59,809 --> 00:50:56,760 he's the one who broke the LaSalle story 1188 00:51:01,609 --> 00:50:59,819 uh to the public and he obviously 1189 00:51:04,190 --> 00:51:01,619 doesn't want to appear like he was made 1190 00:51:07,010 --> 00:51:04,200 a fool of by Lazar that he was 1191 00:51:10,430 --> 00:51:07,020 so he has to almost for his reputation I 1192 00:51:12,130 --> 00:51:10,440 guess has to sort of keep pushing it 1193 00:51:16,430 --> 00:51:12,140 um 1194 00:51:18,109 --> 00:51:16,440 I mean that's that's so kind of 1195 00:51:21,010 --> 00:51:18,119 transparent and out in the open though 1196 00:51:23,930 --> 00:51:21,020 like so you can see that he's doing that 1197 00:51:25,849 --> 00:51:23,940 that seems like but I mean I think with 1198 00:51:27,530 --> 00:51:25,859 this disclosure right now going on 1199 00:51:31,250 --> 00:51:27,540 so-called disclosure and these um 1200 00:51:34,010 --> 00:51:31,260 hearings it's more like a kind of um 1201 00:51:35,690 --> 00:51:34,020 a buffer there people can can just about 1202 00:51:36,770 --> 00:51:35,700 believe that Lazar is telling the truth 1203 00:51:38,870 --> 00:51:36,780 because 1204 00:51:40,730 --> 00:51:38,880 if the government is saying that aliens 1205 00:51:43,010 --> 00:51:40,740 are real although they're not but that's 1206 00:51:44,690 --> 00:51:43,020 the claim that's often made then it's 1207 00:51:47,210 --> 00:51:44,700 not that far out to believe that maybe 1208 00:51:50,030 --> 00:51:47,220 they're also hiding alien technology 1209 00:51:51,829 --> 00:51:50,040 sure so it's sort of um in the 1210 00:51:54,109 --> 00:51:51,839 background is sort of conducive to 1211 00:51:56,870 --> 00:51:54,119 believing Lazar in some ways so people 1212 00:51:59,150 --> 00:51:56,880 find that easier 1213 00:52:00,950 --> 00:51:59,160 it's interesting this whole kind of plot 1214 00:52:03,109 --> 00:52:00,960 line which was kind of picked up by the 1215 00:52:04,730 --> 00:52:03,119 Exiles and stuff the UFOs and the 1216 00:52:06,670 --> 00:52:04,740 government knowing about it and hiding 1217 00:52:11,030 --> 00:52:06,680 it was actually written by Ray Palmer in 1218 00:52:13,069 --> 00:52:11,040 1946. yeah and uh life just life 1219 00:52:14,710 --> 00:52:13,079 including extraterrestrial seems to 1220 00:52:17,870 --> 00:52:14,720 imitate art 1221 00:52:18,950 --> 00:52:17,880 very surprising you wouldn't think it 1222 00:52:21,650 --> 00:52:18,960 would 1223 00:52:23,510 --> 00:52:21,660 now uh so Bob Lazar 1224 00:52:26,390 --> 00:52:23,520 um like you were uh mentioning Louise 1225 00:52:28,250 --> 00:52:26,400 like he got into some difficulties right 1226 00:52:29,930 --> 00:52:28,260 like if I remember correctly like he 1227 00:52:32,030 --> 00:52:29,940 tried to start his own 1228 00:52:34,430 --> 00:52:32,040 um Festival in the desert that didn't 1229 00:52:37,670 --> 00:52:34,440 really pan out he was 1230 00:52:39,410 --> 00:52:37,680 um sort of trying to like make a name 1231 00:52:42,109 --> 00:52:39,420 for himself in several respects like 1232 00:52:43,430 --> 00:52:42,119 building a car that ran on what was it 1233 00:52:46,190 --> 00:52:43,440 hydrogen or something kind of 1234 00:52:49,309 --> 00:52:46,200 interesting like he was like quite 1235 00:52:51,950 --> 00:52:49,319 competent uh with uh you know making 1236 00:52:54,530 --> 00:52:51,960 stuff uh obviously not consistent with 1237 00:52:56,030 --> 00:52:54,540 building a flying saucer but um you know 1238 00:53:03,829 --> 00:52:56,040 so 1239 00:53:05,690 --> 00:53:03,839 legal troubles with uh you know like 1240 00:53:08,270 --> 00:53:05,700 being arrested on those uh criminal 1241 00:53:09,710 --> 00:53:08,280 charges you mentioned and stuff and uh I 1242 00:53:12,650 --> 00:53:09,720 get the intensity kind of went away for 1243 00:53:14,510 --> 00:53:12,660 a bit and then people sort of grabbed on 1244 00:53:17,569 --> 00:53:14,520 to his story again and we have this 1245 00:53:21,170 --> 00:53:17,579 filmmaker now uh Jeremy Corbell uh 1246 00:53:25,010 --> 00:53:21,180 documentarian very interested in UFOs 1247 00:53:26,450 --> 00:53:25,020 believes uh sort of the Lazar uh story 1248 00:53:28,849 --> 00:53:26,460 and he 1249 00:53:30,829 --> 00:53:28,859 got Lazar out there eh like for a whole 1250 00:53:33,109 --> 00:53:30,839 new generation of people who haven't 1251 00:53:34,849 --> 00:53:33,119 been through the line by line of all 1252 00:53:38,390 --> 00:53:34,859 these issues and they just see him on 1253 00:53:41,210 --> 00:53:38,400 Rogan oops 1254 00:53:43,490 --> 00:53:41,220 and uh like so the cycle kind of 1255 00:53:45,950 --> 00:53:43,500 continues and uh 1256 00:53:47,089 --> 00:53:45,960 obviously you're fighting it but um is 1257 00:53:51,470 --> 00:53:47,099 there 1258 00:53:53,510 --> 00:53:51,480 cycle could be broken at some point like 1259 00:53:55,370 --> 00:53:53,520 uh based on your knowledge actually Nick 1260 00:53:57,710 --> 00:53:55,380 too with your experience of the UFO 1261 00:54:00,589 --> 00:53:57,720 subject to history in general like um 1262 00:54:02,630 --> 00:54:00,599 when like with it the original in the 1263 00:54:06,290 --> 00:54:02,640 50s the people like a damskin stuff they 1264 00:54:08,630 --> 00:54:06,300 did eventually sort of uh go away with 1265 00:54:11,510 --> 00:54:08,640 the sort of exposure repeatedly to sort 1266 00:54:13,490 --> 00:54:11,520 of like evidence of fraud um like like 1267 00:54:15,589 --> 00:54:13,500 Luis said Billy Myers still kicking 1268 00:54:16,790 --> 00:54:15,599 around Lazar keeps popping back up all 1269 00:54:19,309 --> 00:54:16,800 these things 1270 00:54:21,950 --> 00:54:19,319 well I mean daily we see all the UFO 1271 00:54:23,870 --> 00:54:21,960 video hoaxes that we saw months ago that 1272 00:54:26,329 --> 00:54:23,880 are being passed around by the newer 1273 00:54:28,069 --> 00:54:26,339 people and stuff right so like like I 1274 00:54:30,470 --> 00:54:28,079 called Lazar all these things all these 1275 00:54:32,870 --> 00:54:30,480 Unsinkable rubber duckies like I guess 1276 00:54:35,809 --> 00:54:32,880 the um kind of the Mystique and the 1277 00:54:37,730 --> 00:54:35,819 narrative is a better seller than 1278 00:54:40,370 --> 00:54:37,740 the the reality of these things so it's 1279 00:54:43,010 --> 00:54:40,380 more popular I suppose 1280 00:54:45,470 --> 00:54:43,020 there's also the ecological problems 1281 00:54:46,870 --> 00:54:45,480 we're facing um you know the desire for 1282 00:54:50,569 --> 00:54:46,880 free energy 1283 00:54:52,730 --> 00:54:50,579 the the alien reactor or the engine is 1284 00:54:55,370 --> 00:54:52,740 touted as like a 1285 00:54:57,170 --> 00:54:55,380 the cure for all of our basically 1286 00:54:59,390 --> 00:54:57,180 societal problems because anyway we're 1287 00:55:01,190 --> 00:54:59,400 not going to fight over you know 1288 00:55:02,210 --> 00:55:01,200 oil in the Middle East or stuff like 1289 00:55:02,750 --> 00:55:02,220 that 1290 00:55:05,210 --> 00:55:02,760 um 1291 00:55:07,089 --> 00:55:05,220 and there's also a religious aspect uh 1292 00:55:10,130 --> 00:55:07,099 which obviously goes back to the um 1293 00:55:12,230 --> 00:55:10,140 contactees we've always been here in 1294 00:55:14,809 --> 00:55:12,240 ufology where people believe that the 1295 00:55:17,049 --> 00:55:14,819 aliens are basically the Salvation yeah 1296 00:55:20,569 --> 00:55:17,059 instead of God or Jesus you have the 1297 00:55:21,770 --> 00:55:20,579 extraterrestrials coming down from space 1298 00:55:23,870 --> 00:55:21,780 um promising 1299 00:55:26,690 --> 00:55:23,880 you know the next stage of human 1300 00:55:28,730 --> 00:55:26,700 evolution basically 1301 00:55:31,309 --> 00:55:28,740 they always seem to have suggestions to 1302 00:55:32,930 --> 00:55:31,319 our problems that are uh just kind of 1303 00:55:35,870 --> 00:55:32,940 Concepts we already understand anyway 1304 00:55:38,030 --> 00:55:35,880 yeah don't drop nuclear bombs on each 1305 00:55:40,370 --> 00:55:38,040 other or take care of the environment in 1306 00:55:42,410 --> 00:55:40,380 an individualistic way you know do your 1307 00:55:44,089 --> 00:55:42,420 part and recycle not uh the aliens are 1308 00:55:45,650 --> 00:55:44,099 coming down and telling any of the 1309 00:55:47,809 --> 00:55:45,660 corporations that are polluting the air 1310 00:55:49,250 --> 00:55:47,819 adding uh have a larger carbon footprint 1311 00:55:52,849 --> 00:55:49,260 to stop that it's always like you know 1312 00:55:54,410 --> 00:55:52,859 the individual or a group of children 1313 00:55:57,670 --> 00:55:54,420 yeah it doesn't seem like a good 1314 00:56:00,650 --> 00:55:57,680 strategy to me for these aliens 1315 00:56:03,470 --> 00:56:00,660 yeah it is always sort of uh the reverse 1316 00:56:06,950 --> 00:56:03,480 uh psychology it's sort of like 1317 00:56:09,710 --> 00:56:06,960 um since this is true what could explain 1318 00:56:11,870 --> 00:56:09,720 that right it's um sort of I call it I 1319 00:56:13,390 --> 00:56:11,880 guess religious thinking or magical 1320 00:56:16,190 --> 00:56:13,400 thing or whatever 1321 00:56:18,470 --> 00:56:16,200 constructing it in reverse 1322 00:56:21,109 --> 00:56:18,480 and uh we're sort of seeing actually 1323 00:56:22,370 --> 00:56:21,119 like like with these figures they are I 1324 00:56:25,010 --> 00:56:22,380 sort of get a sense that they're like 1325 00:56:28,130 --> 00:56:25,020 almost becoming like mythical figures in 1326 00:56:30,109 --> 00:56:28,140 a um like it's not an organized religion 1327 00:56:33,349 --> 00:56:30,119 in any sense of it but there are like a 1328 00:56:37,309 --> 00:56:33,359 sort of loose system of beliefs that are 1329 00:56:40,010 --> 00:56:37,319 um coalescing in a way uh that I'm I'm 1330 00:56:42,770 --> 00:56:40,020 seeing it progressively like uh on the 1331 00:56:46,210 --> 00:56:42,780 forums on uh you know Twitter on Reddit 1332 00:56:48,710 --> 00:56:46,220 and stuff and um it does bear some 1333 00:56:49,849 --> 00:56:48,720 similarities in some respects perhaps uh 1334 00:56:51,589 --> 00:56:49,859 Louise you could speak on this too 1335 00:56:53,690 --> 00:56:51,599 because of your knowledge of it like the 1336 00:56:56,569 --> 00:56:53,700 uh emergence of a cult 1337 00:56:58,970 --> 00:56:56,579 uh traditions in the 19th century almost 1338 00:57:00,650 --> 00:56:58,980 uh yeah as a rad reaction to you know 1339 00:57:02,990 --> 00:57:00,660 the theory of evolution and sort of like 1340 00:57:05,390 --> 00:57:03,000 materialism and stuff and that was all 1341 00:57:07,910 --> 00:57:05,400 rooted in the idea that there was an act 1342 00:57:10,370 --> 00:57:07,920 of communication with yeah other 1343 00:57:11,750 --> 00:57:10,380 entities this hope for certainly like 1344 00:57:17,329 --> 00:57:11,760 yeah 1345 00:57:19,490 --> 00:57:17,339 spiritualism went in for that stuff some 1346 00:57:21,710 --> 00:57:19,500 um groups like theosophy also believe 1347 00:57:24,589 --> 00:57:21,720 that they could um communicate directly 1348 00:57:27,710 --> 00:57:24,599 with um beings like at a higher 1349 00:57:29,630 --> 00:57:27,720 dimensional or spiritual level and that 1350 00:57:32,930 --> 00:57:29,640 that got you know transformed into 1351 00:57:35,030 --> 00:57:32,940 literal extraterrestrials on Venus 1352 00:57:36,349 --> 00:57:35,040 um Venus is also like something which 1353 00:57:39,109 --> 00:57:36,359 has long been 1354 00:57:43,370 --> 00:57:39,119 used by contactees especially those 1355 00:57:46,609 --> 00:57:43,380 influenced by theosophy but um yeah with 1356 00:57:49,250 --> 00:57:46,619 Cults you sometimes do get these extreme 1357 00:57:53,089 --> 00:57:49,260 beliefs like the ones um we saw with 1358 00:57:55,190 --> 00:57:53,099 Heaven's Gate uh if you recall you know 1359 00:57:58,690 --> 00:57:55,200 mass suicide because they thought that 1360 00:58:01,490 --> 00:57:58,700 the comet um was going to take them away 1361 00:58:03,109 --> 00:58:01,500 they had to kill themselves to ascend to 1362 00:58:04,849 --> 00:58:03,119 the comet which is actually hiding a 1363 00:58:07,069 --> 00:58:04,859 spaceship 1364 00:58:10,190 --> 00:58:07,079 um you also see things like um the order 1365 00:58:11,990 --> 00:58:10,200 of the solar Temple which was a I don't 1366 00:58:14,329 --> 00:58:12,000 think that was really a UFO religion but 1367 00:58:17,089 --> 00:58:14,339 it had some Cosmic beliefs along those 1368 00:58:20,450 --> 00:58:17,099 lines there was a cult which 1369 00:58:21,589 --> 00:58:20,460 um was active in France Switzerland and 1370 00:58:25,370 --> 00:58:21,599 Quebec 1371 00:58:29,450 --> 00:58:25,380 and um they also did a mass suicide 1372 00:58:32,510 --> 00:58:29,460 um I think it was in the 90s and um 1373 00:58:34,670 --> 00:58:32,520 right now we're seeing stuff like the 1374 00:58:36,849 --> 00:58:34,680 uh star seeds 1375 00:58:38,690 --> 00:58:36,859 and these ideas about genetic 1376 00:58:41,150 --> 00:58:38,700 predispositions to 1377 00:58:42,950 --> 00:58:41,160 being in contact with the UFOs or aliens 1378 00:58:44,750 --> 00:58:42,960 right and there's the whole 1379 00:58:48,049 --> 00:58:44,760 Consciousness aspect as well where 1380 00:58:51,230 --> 00:58:49,010 um 1381 00:58:53,329 --> 00:58:51,240 they're communicating with aliens and 1382 00:58:55,309 --> 00:58:53,339 sometimes even they are the aliens like 1383 00:58:57,049 --> 00:58:55,319 that they lived in a previous life as an 1384 00:58:57,829 --> 00:58:57,059 extraterrestrial but that they're here 1385 00:58:59,990 --> 00:58:57,839 to 1386 00:59:02,210 --> 00:59:00,000 help liberate mankind 1387 00:59:04,430 --> 00:59:02,220 and that can lead to extremism easily 1388 00:59:07,670 --> 00:59:04,440 because you know in this current culture 1389 00:59:08,329 --> 00:59:07,680 and political situation 1390 00:59:10,010 --> 00:59:08,339 um 1391 00:59:12,109 --> 00:59:10,020 there's really like a breakdown of 1392 00:59:15,890 --> 00:59:12,119 consensus reality 1393 00:59:18,829 --> 00:59:15,900 um Leah has spoken to that a lot as well 1394 00:59:21,410 --> 00:59:18,839 um and 1395 00:59:23,630 --> 00:59:21,420 you know fake news on all that stuff 1396 00:59:26,329 --> 00:59:23,640 um so people are kind of really primed 1397 00:59:28,910 --> 00:59:26,339 to believe really weird stuff 1398 00:59:30,589 --> 00:59:28,920 uh speaking to your question Campbell do 1399 00:59:32,630 --> 00:59:30,599 you think that maybe these kind of 1400 00:59:33,470 --> 00:59:32,640 figures are created because we kind of 1401 00:59:35,270 --> 00:59:33,480 have 1402 00:59:39,049 --> 00:59:35,280 especially coming from the perspective 1403 00:59:40,910 --> 00:59:39,059 of the eth or the nihi hypothesis which 1404 00:59:43,970 --> 00:59:40,920 I think is a natural conclusion to come 1405 00:59:45,230 --> 00:59:43,980 to living in the United States culture 1406 00:59:48,109 --> 00:59:45,240 um if you don't think about it too hard 1407 00:59:51,109 --> 00:59:48,119 but do you think that uh since there are 1408 00:59:52,730 --> 00:59:51,119 no real Authorities on the subject from 1409 00:59:54,589 --> 00:59:52,740 that perspective it kind of creates a 1410 00:59:56,930 --> 00:59:54,599 vacuum so we kind of just 1411 00:59:58,789 --> 00:59:56,940 put these people on pedestals just kind 1412 01:00:01,370 --> 00:59:58,799 of the most vocal people 1413 01:00:02,750 --> 01:00:01,380 because I think peop I think all of us 1414 01:00:04,130 --> 01:00:02,760 kind of have a tendency to seek out 1415 01:00:07,010 --> 01:00:04,140 authorities when we have questions for 1416 01:00:08,390 --> 01:00:07,020 things like this and given that this in 1417 01:00:10,430 --> 01:00:08,400 my opinion comes from a kind of a 1418 01:00:12,650 --> 01:00:10,440 cultural Superstition there wouldn't 1419 01:00:15,470 --> 01:00:12,660 necessarily be authorities do you think 1420 01:00:20,329 --> 01:00:15,480 that that maybe is how these figures 1421 01:00:25,390 --> 01:00:22,309 are you asking me or no lawyers right 1422 01:00:29,990 --> 01:00:28,430 uh it's for you oh geez I don't know 1423 01:00:32,510 --> 01:00:30,000 honestly yeah it's an interesting 1424 01:00:34,670 --> 01:00:32,520 question like uh yeah why 1425 01:00:38,690 --> 01:00:34,680 why do these certain people get elevated 1426 01:00:40,430 --> 01:00:38,700 right and um it has to do with in part 1427 01:00:43,849 --> 01:00:40,440 at least sort of verification of these 1428 01:00:46,609 --> 01:00:43,859 underlying things related to Identity 1429 01:00:48,589 --> 01:00:46,619 uh and and we see this in uh over and 1430 01:00:50,569 --> 01:00:48,599 over again in these communities it's uh 1431 01:00:51,349 --> 01:00:50,579 and they're self-selective right it's 1432 01:00:55,490 --> 01:00:51,359 like 1433 01:00:58,370 --> 01:00:55,500 if the person is capable of critically 1434 01:01:00,530 --> 01:00:58,380 challenging the claims then they 1435 01:01:01,970 --> 01:01:00,540 self-select out of it it's almost like 1436 01:01:05,150 --> 01:01:01,980 you know how it's like 90 whatever 1437 01:01:06,730 --> 01:01:05,160 percent of uh CEOs are a sociopaths 1438 01:01:08,690 --> 01:01:06,740 technically it's like it's it 1439 01:01:11,569 --> 01:01:08,700 self-selects they like weed themselves 1440 01:01:12,950 --> 01:01:11,579 out and you end up with the core and uh 1441 01:01:14,569 --> 01:01:12,960 from the in the population in general 1442 01:01:16,750 --> 01:01:14,579 maybe it's like a pretty small amount 1443 01:01:19,250 --> 01:01:16,760 but then you can create these um 1444 01:01:21,470 --> 01:01:19,260 subcultures that uh are very highly 1445 01:01:24,890 --> 01:01:21,480 concentrated with these particular views 1446 01:01:27,349 --> 01:01:24,900 and can create sort of these conditions 1447 01:01:29,630 --> 01:01:27,359 of self-radicalization 1448 01:01:31,730 --> 01:01:29,640 there's also the um 1449 01:01:33,890 --> 01:01:31,740 thing where people want to feel like 1450 01:01:35,630 --> 01:01:33,900 they are in possession of answers that 1451 01:01:38,109 --> 01:01:35,640 nobody else is and they want to be the 1452 01:01:41,690 --> 01:01:38,119 importance of knowledge yeah 1453 01:01:44,809 --> 01:01:41,700 a lot of yeah in conspiracy culture 1454 01:01:46,250 --> 01:01:44,819 um and also there's a scholar I forgot I 1455 01:01:48,230 --> 01:01:46,260 forget his name he actually studies 1456 01:01:49,910 --> 01:01:48,240 conspiracy culture 1457 01:01:52,490 --> 01:01:49,920 um he said that conspiracy theories I 1458 01:01:54,650 --> 01:01:52,500 really like the poor man's heuristic 1459 01:01:56,329 --> 01:01:54,660 because there's a lot of complexity in 1460 01:01:58,730 --> 01:01:56,339 the world 1461 01:02:02,510 --> 01:01:58,740 um if you're poor you don't have that 1462 01:02:03,829 --> 01:02:02,520 much time to pass it all out and 1463 01:02:05,329 --> 01:02:03,839 conspiracy theories are kind of a 1464 01:02:07,309 --> 01:02:05,339 simplification of the world because you 1465 01:02:07,970 --> 01:02:07,319 can just allocate 1466 01:02:13,430 --> 01:02:07,980 um 1467 01:02:15,410 --> 01:02:13,440 this cabal of conspiracies like the 1468 01:02:16,730 --> 01:02:15,420 Illuminati so it sort of simplifies the 1469 01:02:19,010 --> 01:02:16,740 universe 1470 01:02:21,650 --> 01:02:19,020 yeah and it kind of um when your 1471 01:02:24,349 --> 01:02:21,660 situation kind of contradicts that uh 1472 01:02:26,329 --> 01:02:24,359 that idea of meritocracy like poor 1473 01:02:27,829 --> 01:02:26,339 people you know working full-time jobs 1474 01:02:29,329 --> 01:02:27,839 are working hard and they're not seeing 1475 01:02:31,069 --> 01:02:29,339 the benefit of that so there must be 1476 01:02:33,470 --> 01:02:31,079 some kind of outside reason for it so I 1477 01:02:34,549 --> 01:02:33,480 can get out how that's appealing to a 1478 01:02:37,010 --> 01:02:34,559 lot of people and that's kind of 1479 01:02:40,370 --> 01:02:37,020 dangerous yeah but that that can't be 1480 01:02:43,370 --> 01:02:40,380 the only explanation either because with 1481 01:02:45,710 --> 01:02:43,380 um the order of the golden uh the solar 1482 01:02:47,990 --> 01:02:45,720 Temple for example and many other Cults 1483 01:02:49,670 --> 01:02:48,000 you see um affluent middle class 1484 01:02:52,670 --> 01:02:49,680 professionals 1485 01:02:54,289 --> 01:02:52,680 um join them so it can't just be yeah 1486 01:02:56,450 --> 01:02:54,299 they're hankering for like simple 1487 01:02:59,089 --> 01:02:56,460 answers although there is like a 1488 01:03:02,809 --> 01:02:59,099 hankering for like a higher answer it's 1489 01:03:04,490 --> 01:03:02,819 not like just the desire to like make 1490 01:03:06,410 --> 01:03:04,500 everything simple 1491 01:03:10,069 --> 01:03:06,420 um so like there has to be some other 1492 01:03:14,809 --> 01:03:12,230 so the the commonalities between all 1493 01:03:16,370 --> 01:03:14,819 these things and going back to like uh 1494 01:03:20,329 --> 01:03:16,380 the beginnings of spiritualism they're 1495 01:03:22,130 --> 01:03:20,339 all so similar it's really strange like 1496 01:03:24,349 --> 01:03:22,140 and kind of how a lot of people are 1497 01:03:26,630 --> 01:03:24,359 talking about Consciousness now as if 1498 01:03:30,470 --> 01:03:26,640 it's kind of like this other place or 1499 01:03:32,210 --> 01:03:30,480 The Ether yeah where uh be it uh dead 1500 01:03:34,609 --> 01:03:32,220 dead Spirits are giving you uh 1501 01:03:36,609 --> 01:03:34,619 prophecies or it's uh psychic mediums 1502 01:03:39,410 --> 01:03:36,619 channeling or if these space Brothers 1503 01:03:41,270 --> 01:03:39,420 contacting venusians it always seems to 1504 01:03:42,829 --> 01:03:41,280 be on that kind of edge of our 1505 01:03:45,230 --> 01:03:42,839 understanding kind of like what you were 1506 01:03:47,049 --> 01:03:45,240 talking about how um Bob Lazar would 1507 01:03:49,670 --> 01:03:47,059 speak you would use that kind of 1508 01:03:51,890 --> 01:03:49,680 pseudo-intellectual scientific flowery 1509 01:03:54,109 --> 01:03:51,900 language that was based on that kind of 1510 01:03:55,849 --> 01:03:54,119 uh hypothetical stuff that kind of goes 1511 01:03:58,250 --> 01:03:55,859 over a lot of people's heads who don't 1512 01:04:00,349 --> 01:03:58,260 have the Science Education so it sounds 1513 01:04:02,930 --> 01:04:00,359 intelligent it's really something like 1514 01:04:06,470 --> 01:04:02,940 that my opinion sorry my cat is yeah a 1515 01:04:08,630 --> 01:04:06,480 lot of quantum mysticism right now 1516 01:04:10,910 --> 01:04:08,640 um using the Gob of quantum mechanics 1517 01:04:13,970 --> 01:04:10,920 but trying to sneak in a bunch of 1518 01:04:14,809 --> 01:04:13,980 unverified claims and 1519 01:04:17,930 --> 01:04:14,819 um 1520 01:04:18,530 --> 01:04:17,940 archeology 1521 01:04:21,530 --> 01:04:18,540 um 1522 01:04:24,890 --> 01:04:21,540 you know uh what's his name 1523 01:04:29,630 --> 01:04:24,900 the the famous pseudo archaeologist 1524 01:04:32,150 --> 01:04:29,640 um oh Graham or Graham Hancock yes he 1525 01:04:36,230 --> 01:04:34,069 sorry uh just this question really 1526 01:04:38,569 --> 01:04:36,240 quickly um what was the name of the 1527 01:04:40,370 --> 01:04:38,579 scholar you referenced about heuristics 1528 01:04:42,910 --> 01:04:40,380 let me 1529 01:04:47,870 --> 01:04:42,920 conspiracy nation is the book 1530 01:04:47,880 --> 01:04:51,349 it's a good title 1531 01:04:56,569 --> 01:04:54,470 what is more American than conspiracy 1532 01:04:57,950 --> 01:04:56,579 that's the one who's the author or who's 1533 01:05:00,589 --> 01:04:57,960 the editor because it's actually a 1534 01:05:01,910 --> 01:05:00,599 compilation uh Peter Knight 1535 01:05:06,890 --> 01:05:01,920 yes 1536 01:05:10,670 --> 01:05:08,569 what was I saying 1537 01:05:13,849 --> 01:05:10,680 yeah it really cut you off there it was 1538 01:05:16,370 --> 01:05:13,859 a response to uh Hancock 1539 01:05:18,370 --> 01:05:16,380 yes yeah Hancock has um always been 1540 01:05:20,230 --> 01:05:18,380 about the sort of Atlantis and um 1541 01:05:23,089 --> 01:05:20,240 ancient 1542 01:05:25,069 --> 01:05:23,099 uh civilizations which have 1543 01:05:26,990 --> 01:05:25,079 you know were destroyed by a giant flood 1544 01:05:29,569 --> 01:05:27,000 and that sort of stuff 1545 01:05:32,089 --> 01:05:29,579 um he did briefly flirt with um ancient 1546 01:05:33,770 --> 01:05:32,099 astronauts ideas in the 90s but then he 1547 01:05:35,990 --> 01:05:33,780 got out of that 1548 01:05:39,410 --> 01:05:36,000 if you remember the um so-called face on 1549 01:05:42,349 --> 01:05:39,420 Mars yes hogland was the one promoting 1550 01:05:44,630 --> 01:05:42,359 that and then Hancock got in on that act 1551 01:05:46,970 --> 01:05:44,640 for a brief time but then he pulled out 1552 01:05:48,470 --> 01:05:46,980 went back to Atlantis 1553 01:05:50,450 --> 01:05:48,480 ideas 1554 01:05:52,549 --> 01:05:50,460 um 1555 01:05:54,890 --> 01:05:52,559 so I mean it's kind of across the board 1556 01:05:55,730 --> 01:05:54,900 of this sort of pseudoscience is um not 1557 01:05:57,950 --> 01:05:55,740 just 1558 01:05:59,329 --> 01:05:57,960 in Quantum mysticism but it's also 1559 01:06:01,730 --> 01:05:59,339 archeology 1560 01:06:04,990 --> 01:06:01,740 um human psychology 1561 01:06:07,849 --> 01:06:05,000 um and uh Jung also is brought up a lot 1562 01:06:10,430 --> 01:06:07,859 uh as well although there are some valid 1563 01:06:11,990 --> 01:06:10,440 ideas by Jung and I think we should 1564 01:06:16,549 --> 01:06:12,000 explore them but I think sometimes 1565 01:06:21,650 --> 01:06:18,530 yeah I agree 1566 01:06:25,010 --> 01:06:21,660 just kind of um at face value and 1567 01:06:29,089 --> 01:06:27,289 so Louise uh maybe we could talk a 1568 01:06:30,230 --> 01:06:29,099 little bit about like 1569 01:06:32,870 --> 01:06:30,240 um 1570 01:06:35,690 --> 01:06:32,880 like the harm side of things we touched 1571 01:06:37,069 --> 01:06:35,700 on sort of like the fact that um these 1572 01:06:39,589 --> 01:06:37,079 groups sort of come together and 1573 01:06:43,490 --> 01:06:39,599 sometimes get into these uh sort of 1574 01:06:45,109 --> 01:06:43,500 ritual like cult situations and uh you 1575 01:06:47,930 --> 01:06:45,119 know a lot of time it's like stuff that 1576 01:06:49,849 --> 01:06:47,940 doesn't look as uh dangerous as it is 1577 01:06:52,309 --> 01:06:49,859 like at surface level right like it's 1578 01:06:54,289 --> 01:06:52,319 like the belief that you're like kind of 1579 01:06:56,210 --> 01:06:54,299 communicating with another being like 1580 01:06:57,650 --> 01:06:56,220 you know that that's almost mainstream 1581 01:06:59,510 --> 01:06:57,660 really in some ways if you think about 1582 01:07:00,829 --> 01:06:59,520 it from like a religious framing or 1583 01:07:03,170 --> 01:07:00,839 something like a large percentage of 1584 01:07:05,650 --> 01:07:03,180 people think that so then yeah like 1585 01:07:08,029 --> 01:07:05,660 there's the sort of 1586 01:07:08,930 --> 01:07:08,039 nefarious elements that we're touching 1587 01:07:12,650 --> 01:07:08,940 on 1588 01:07:14,750 --> 01:07:12,660 um where this can sort of like emerge 1589 01:07:17,270 --> 01:07:14,760 um like what what should people sort of 1590 01:07:20,089 --> 01:07:17,280 be looking out for like for themselves 1591 01:07:21,549 --> 01:07:20,099 in terms of avoiding so finding 1592 01:07:25,370 --> 01:07:21,559 themselves into that sort of situation 1593 01:07:27,650 --> 01:07:25,380 the way that these uh conspiracy beliefs 1594 01:07:30,049 --> 01:07:27,660 um overlap and converge and the way that 1595 01:07:31,309 --> 01:07:30,059 um the purveyors are using UFOs and 1596 01:07:33,770 --> 01:07:31,319 aliens 1597 01:07:36,109 --> 01:07:33,780 as ways to 1598 01:07:37,789 --> 01:07:36,119 pull people into something else 1599 01:07:40,069 --> 01:07:37,799 okay it's not really about the aliens or 1600 01:07:41,029 --> 01:07:40,079 UFOs ultimately it's about promoting 1601 01:07:42,950 --> 01:07:41,039 some 1602 01:07:44,270 --> 01:07:42,960 idea about how Society should be 1603 01:07:46,549 --> 01:07:44,280 organized 1604 01:07:49,270 --> 01:07:46,559 um obviously you know many times a very 1605 01:07:51,470 --> 01:07:49,280 negative and um 1606 01:07:54,349 --> 01:07:51,480 authoritarian or very 1607 01:07:57,170 --> 01:07:54,359 bigoted uh social setup um you know 1608 01:07:59,270 --> 01:07:57,180 neo-nazis have done this with UFOs 1609 01:08:01,910 --> 01:07:59,280 um they've written books and stuff to 1610 01:08:04,130 --> 01:08:01,920 sort of attract young people and the 1611 01:08:06,410 --> 01:08:04,140 idea there is really to 1612 01:08:09,650 --> 01:08:06,420 make people think like if the government 1613 01:08:11,630 --> 01:08:09,660 is lying about UFOs then maybe they're 1614 01:08:13,789 --> 01:08:11,640 also lying about the Holocaust and maybe 1615 01:08:16,249 --> 01:08:13,799 the Holocaust didn't actually happen and 1616 01:08:18,650 --> 01:08:16,259 maybe the Jews really are in control of 1617 01:08:23,169 --> 01:08:18,660 the world and maybe the Nazis weren't 1618 01:08:28,309 --> 01:08:25,269 yeah but I mean 1619 01:08:30,829 --> 01:08:28,319 umdoll yeah 1620 01:08:32,269 --> 01:08:30,839 he actually wrote a book about UFOs and 1621 01:08:33,890 --> 01:08:32,279 he admitted that he didn't believe a 1622 01:08:35,870 --> 01:08:33,900 word of it it was just a way to get 1623 01:08:38,870 --> 01:08:35,880 young people to kind of become 1624 01:08:41,090 --> 01:08:38,880 interested in Nazism 1625 01:08:44,269 --> 01:08:41,100 it's kind of how you operated too they 1626 01:08:45,890 --> 01:08:44,279 kind of uh just Incorporated all sorts 1627 01:08:48,169 --> 01:08:45,900 of conspiracy theories basically as 1628 01:08:50,269 --> 01:08:48,179 pipelines into that kind of core belief 1629 01:08:52,490 --> 01:08:50,279 right yes 1630 01:08:54,110 --> 01:08:52,500 so I mean I would be on the lookout for 1631 01:08:57,289 --> 01:08:54,120 for that 1632 01:08:59,209 --> 01:08:57,299 um ask what is the ulterior motive of 1633 01:09:03,110 --> 01:08:59,219 this person what else do they believe 1634 01:09:04,070 --> 01:09:03,120 which is really far out 1635 01:09:05,990 --> 01:09:04,080 um 1636 01:09:07,430 --> 01:09:06,000 would I want to live in the society that 1637 01:09:11,870 --> 01:09:07,440 they want 1638 01:09:15,769 --> 01:09:11,880 okay and um do they do they benefit 1639 01:09:18,289 --> 01:09:15,779 um in some way like uh they get money 1640 01:09:22,130 --> 01:09:18,299 um even though they they don't really 1641 01:09:24,410 --> 01:09:22,140 verify their claims they Source their 1642 01:09:29,150 --> 01:09:24,420 claims properly 1643 01:09:31,010 --> 01:09:29,160 um do they actually cite valid science 1644 01:09:32,510 --> 01:09:31,020 this is a very difficult for many people 1645 01:09:34,430 --> 01:09:32,520 because they don't really know how to 1646 01:09:36,410 --> 01:09:34,440 think about these things but that's sort 1647 01:09:38,630 --> 01:09:36,420 of the general Contour I guess is to 1648 01:09:43,189 --> 01:09:38,640 sort of be on the lookout for 1649 01:09:47,450 --> 01:09:45,349 yeah that's probably the simplest way to 1650 01:09:49,550 --> 01:09:47,460 put it yeah but there's a lot to go into 1651 01:09:50,930 --> 01:09:49,560 there because people have got like 1652 01:09:53,090 --> 01:09:50,940 different levels of scientific 1653 01:09:56,750 --> 01:09:53,100 understanding and 1654 01:10:01,550 --> 01:09:59,510 if somebody's telling you to drop your 1655 01:10:05,510 --> 01:10:01,560 logical and rational thought processes 1656 01:10:11,689 --> 01:10:08,570 with the with your own experience Louise 1657 01:10:13,130 --> 01:10:11,699 would you be uh able to comment a little 1658 01:10:16,370 --> 01:10:13,140 bit about like maybe just like the first 1659 01:10:17,570 --> 01:10:16,380 time you heard about Bob Lazar and the 1660 01:10:19,729 --> 01:10:17,580 context of that and what you thought 1661 01:10:21,229 --> 01:10:19,739 initially and maybe like a bit about 1662 01:10:23,689 --> 01:10:21,239 like the development of your thoughts 1663 01:10:27,830 --> 01:10:23,699 over time if they changed the first time 1664 01:10:30,950 --> 01:10:27,840 I heard about Lazar I think was in 1665 01:10:32,630 --> 01:10:30,960 a magazine series in the 90s 1666 01:10:36,050 --> 01:10:32,640 this might have been like in the mid so 1667 01:10:39,070 --> 01:10:36,060 mid 90s 1997 that time 1668 01:10:42,110 --> 01:10:39,080 um it was called The X Factor 1669 01:10:43,370 --> 01:10:42,120 weekly or bi-weekly um magazine that you 1670 01:10:45,830 --> 01:10:43,380 would purchase 1671 01:10:48,110 --> 01:10:45,840 and you build up like this nice sort of 1672 01:10:48,890 --> 01:10:48,120 volume this set 1673 01:10:51,649 --> 01:10:48,900 um 1674 01:10:53,149 --> 01:10:51,659 it had a piece in there about Lazar sort 1675 01:10:55,250 --> 01:10:53,159 of a pre 1676 01:10:57,110 --> 01:10:55,260 it was basically pushing his story 1677 01:10:58,370 --> 01:10:57,120 although it did mention the brothel 1678 01:11:00,229 --> 01:10:58,380 thing 1679 01:11:04,189 --> 01:11:00,239 um 1680 01:11:06,590 --> 01:11:04,199 you know I was a teenager back then so I 1681 01:11:09,830 --> 01:11:06,600 sort of believed that the teenagers are 1682 01:11:11,149 --> 01:11:09,840 very very susceptible by the way to 1683 01:11:13,510 --> 01:11:11,159 um 1684 01:11:16,070 --> 01:11:13,520 sort of counter-cultural 1685 01:11:17,930 --> 01:11:16,080 authority figures they reject 1686 01:11:21,169 --> 01:11:17,940 traditional Authority or established 1687 01:11:22,850 --> 01:11:21,179 Authority but they want to believe 1688 01:11:25,970 --> 01:11:22,860 um other types of authority like 1689 01:11:27,649 --> 01:11:25,980 conspiracy theorists so but anyway I 1690 01:11:29,390 --> 01:11:27,659 sort of believed it back then I didn't 1691 01:11:31,610 --> 01:11:29,400 know anything about 1692 01:11:33,770 --> 01:11:31,620 you know the ins and outs of element 115 1693 01:11:34,550 --> 01:11:33,780 or anything like that 1694 01:11:36,470 --> 01:11:34,560 um 1695 01:11:40,550 --> 01:11:36,480 and then I dropped it for a long time 1696 01:11:42,250 --> 01:11:40,560 and then um more recently I read also 1697 01:11:45,950 --> 01:11:42,260 not read I um 1698 01:11:48,530 --> 01:11:45,960 watched a video by the mouthy Buddha 1699 01:11:49,850 --> 01:11:48,540 which I think is a channel that got 1700 01:11:54,350 --> 01:11:49,860 dropped 1701 01:11:56,930 --> 01:11:54,360 but um he made a video about Lazar and 1702 01:12:00,950 --> 01:11:56,940 he was asking like sort of pros and cons 1703 01:12:03,050 --> 01:12:00,960 of the story trying to balance it out 1704 01:12:06,169 --> 01:12:03,060 and he made some Claim about 1705 01:12:08,090 --> 01:12:06,179 um Zeta reticuli well Lazar did that the 1706 01:12:10,850 --> 01:12:08,100 um he read in a briefing document that 1707 01:12:14,030 --> 01:12:10,860 the aliens come from Zeta reticuli and 1708 01:12:16,370 --> 01:12:14,040 then that sort of got me thinking well 1709 01:12:19,070 --> 01:12:16,380 um Zeta reticuli the only reason that we 1710 01:12:20,810 --> 01:12:19,080 think about Zeta reticuli in alien UFO 1711 01:12:23,090 --> 01:12:20,820 law is because of the Betty and Barney 1712 01:12:26,030 --> 01:12:23,100 Hill story and 1713 01:12:28,189 --> 01:12:26,040 that was completely debunked as like a 1714 01:12:30,350 --> 01:12:28,199 possible sight for the aliens because 1715 01:12:32,450 --> 01:12:30,360 you know the star map didn't work and 1716 01:12:35,149 --> 01:12:32,460 stuff like that the updated data from 1717 01:12:37,370 --> 01:12:35,159 the hit park or satellite 1718 01:12:40,490 --> 01:12:37,380 so in other words 1719 01:12:43,010 --> 01:12:40,500 um lizard just got that Trope because it 1720 01:12:44,510 --> 01:12:43,020 was doing the rounds in UFO lore and for 1721 01:12:46,490 --> 01:12:44,520 no other reason 1722 01:12:48,410 --> 01:12:46,500 well although he says like he can't 1723 01:12:49,729 --> 01:12:48,420 vouch for it because it was a briefing 1724 01:12:53,050 --> 01:12:49,739 document and maybe it was just 1725 01:12:56,330 --> 01:12:53,060 disinformation but again he's just like 1726 01:12:58,550 --> 01:12:56,340 covering his own ass he right you know 1727 01:13:00,649 --> 01:12:58,560 they can kind of say anything yeah 1728 01:13:03,169 --> 01:13:00,659 typical of Lazar to 1729 01:13:04,550 --> 01:13:03,179 always give himself like an out for any 1730 01:13:08,090 --> 01:13:04,560 of his claims 1731 01:13:09,590 --> 01:13:08,100 well it's so uh it's all of them kind of 1732 01:13:11,510 --> 01:13:09,600 have a similar theme uh that we're 1733 01:13:14,510 --> 01:13:11,520 seeing right that um it's like the face 1734 01:13:16,189 --> 01:13:14,520 on Mars and whatever like and that's 1735 01:13:17,830 --> 01:13:16,199 more of a literal thing where like 1736 01:13:20,510 --> 01:13:17,840 there's a sort of 1737 01:13:22,729 --> 01:13:20,520 observation and a claim about that 1738 01:13:24,830 --> 01:13:22,739 observation and then when you literally 1739 01:13:26,229 --> 01:13:24,840 like in this case physically get a 1740 01:13:30,590 --> 01:13:26,239 higher resolution 1741 01:13:33,070 --> 01:13:30,600 it dissolves into being nothing 1742 01:13:39,229 --> 01:13:35,689 said that um that's because NASA 1743 01:13:42,050 --> 01:13:39,239 airbrushed it or they changed it wow I 1744 01:13:45,050 --> 01:13:42,060 mean yeah and then you push the sort of 1745 01:13:46,669 --> 01:13:45,060 story forward uh over and over until it 1746 01:13:49,910 --> 01:13:46,679 it becomes impossible I guess because 1747 01:13:52,310 --> 01:13:49,920 how many spacecraft are over the Mar 1748 01:13:54,830 --> 01:13:52,320 Mars now right like uh there's several 1749 01:13:57,169 --> 01:13:54,840 uh different nations uh doing work there 1750 01:13:58,490 --> 01:13:57,179 so if NASA wanted to hide it why did 1751 01:13:59,810 --> 01:13:58,500 they release that photo in the first 1752 01:14:02,870 --> 01:13:59,820 place 1753 01:14:02,880 --> 01:14:07,910 everybody makes mistakes sometimes yeah 1754 01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,810 Wild 1755 01:14:16,070 --> 01:14:13,850 yeah well Amy and that's the way that uh 1756 01:14:19,729 --> 01:14:16,080 it's the way that it seems to occur uh 1757 01:14:22,130 --> 01:14:19,739 yeah it's too bad because it's like I 1758 01:14:26,149 --> 01:14:22,140 like the idea of it like in the you know 1759 01:14:28,250 --> 01:14:26,159 late 1800s uh in uh whatever I feel like 1760 01:14:30,649 --> 01:14:28,260 I would have been like oh that would be 1761 01:14:32,450 --> 01:14:30,659 pretty cool if uh the scientists 1762 01:14:34,550 --> 01:14:32,460 claiming they're seeing canals on Mars 1763 01:14:35,930 --> 01:14:34,560 that would be neat if it actually was 1764 01:14:37,310 --> 01:14:35,940 real 1765 01:14:40,370 --> 01:14:37,320 um you know 1766 01:14:42,890 --> 01:14:40,380 I guess it just sort of comes down to 1767 01:14:44,930 --> 01:14:42,900 like what you actually I mean and like I 1768 01:14:47,930 --> 01:14:44,940 started the show I changed the intro a 1769 01:14:50,330 --> 01:14:47,940 tiny bit I I included that we uh focus 1770 01:14:53,149 --> 01:14:50,340 on epistemology as well and that's you 1771 01:14:56,030 --> 01:14:53,159 know the the delineation between opinion 1772 01:14:58,370 --> 01:14:56,040 and fact the justifications for that 1773 01:14:59,810 --> 01:14:58,380 that sort of comes down to like a lot of 1774 01:15:02,209 --> 01:14:59,820 this comes down to that right like how 1775 01:15:04,450 --> 01:15:02,219 you justify like what you interpret as a 1776 01:15:07,310 --> 01:15:04,460 fact from an opinion 1777 01:15:09,470 --> 01:15:07,320 and uh right now we're sort of talking 1778 01:15:12,530 --> 01:15:09,480 about a lot of of statements from an 1779 01:15:14,510 --> 01:15:12,540 individual and uh you know I impulsively 1780 01:15:17,090 --> 01:15:14,520 want to believe people when they're 1781 01:15:20,149 --> 01:15:17,100 talking but uh it's sort of like that uh 1782 01:15:24,169 --> 01:15:20,159 old Russian saying um that Ronald Reagan 1783 01:15:26,990 --> 01:15:24,179 appropriated you know trust but verify 1784 01:15:30,590 --> 01:15:27,000 um the verification is very uh important 1785 01:15:36,729 --> 01:15:34,790 yeah um Lazar um basically refuses to be 1786 01:15:39,110 --> 01:15:36,739 verified because 1787 01:15:40,729 --> 01:15:39,120 he supposedly is a physicist but he 1788 01:15:42,530 --> 01:15:40,739 never 1789 01:15:45,169 --> 01:15:42,540 um is like interviewed by other 1790 01:15:47,689 --> 01:15:45,179 physicists he supposedly peers right 1791 01:15:50,390 --> 01:15:47,699 right he was actually apparently he was 1792 01:15:55,130 --> 01:15:50,400 invited by Ben Rich who was the head of 1793 01:15:57,649 --> 01:15:55,140 the Skunk Works um back in the minds 1794 01:16:00,470 --> 01:15:57,659 um the Lockheed Skunk Works uh Ben Rich 1795 01:16:02,689 --> 01:16:00,480 heard lazar's story he actually invited 1796 01:16:05,090 --> 01:16:02,699 lazatsu like a gathering of Aerospace 1797 01:16:07,130 --> 01:16:05,100 journalists and Engineers Lazar of 1798 01:16:09,709 --> 01:16:07,140 course declined 1799 01:16:11,870 --> 01:16:09,719 what's up with like uh Skunk Works 1800 01:16:14,930 --> 01:16:11,880 because we've had Skunk Works appear in 1801 01:16:17,450 --> 01:16:14,940 the recent uh UFO narrative as well 1802 01:16:20,630 --> 01:16:17,460 um if I remember right Tom DeLonge 1803 01:16:22,490 --> 01:16:20,640 recruited uh a former director of Skunk 1804 01:16:25,850 --> 01:16:22,500 Works to serve on his like executive 1805 01:16:28,550 --> 01:16:25,860 team of his uh to the Stars startup when 1806 01:16:30,169 --> 01:16:28,560 he was trying to uh do uh well claiming 1807 01:16:32,149 --> 01:16:30,179 that he was going to reverse engineer 1808 01:16:32,870 --> 01:16:32,159 UFO and stuff like that 1809 01:16:35,510 --> 01:16:32,880 um 1810 01:16:38,090 --> 01:16:35,520 did are you familiar with uh sort of the 1811 01:16:39,649 --> 01:16:38,100 ins and outs of the the what it's an 1812 01:16:41,390 --> 01:16:39,659 advanced weapons program of some kind 1813 01:16:44,390 --> 01:16:41,400 right yeah 1814 01:16:45,890 --> 01:16:44,400 Skunk Works started in the 50s and the 1815 01:16:47,450 --> 01:16:45,900 late 50s I think 1816 01:16:49,310 --> 01:16:47,460 um 1817 01:16:51,350 --> 01:16:49,320 the Lockheed company which is now the 1818 01:16:54,410 --> 01:16:51,360 Lockheed modern company after they 1819 01:16:56,030 --> 01:16:54,420 merged with um modern Marietta I think 1820 01:16:59,149 --> 01:16:56,040 it was called 1821 01:17:03,850 --> 01:17:02,090 it's like a kind of a very high-tech uh 1822 01:17:07,310 --> 01:17:03,860 or special 1823 01:17:10,850 --> 01:17:07,320 Aerospace program very Innovative that's 1824 01:17:12,830 --> 01:17:10,860 you know the U2 the SR-71 Blackbird and 1825 01:17:16,189 --> 01:17:12,840 other planes came out of that program 1826 01:17:16,910 --> 01:17:16,199 okay and um some of those projects we're 1827 01:17:20,030 --> 01:17:16,920 doing 1828 01:17:21,830 --> 01:17:20,040 um were being tested at the um at area 1829 01:17:24,950 --> 01:17:21,840 51. 1830 01:17:27,470 --> 01:17:24,960 so Area 51 has long been 1831 01:17:30,229 --> 01:17:27,480 um sort of at the center of UFO lore the 1832 01:17:32,570 --> 01:17:30,239 CIA itself actually said I don't know if 1833 01:17:34,610 --> 01:17:32,580 this is true but um they claimed that um 1834 01:17:38,689 --> 01:17:34,620 half the UFO sightings during the Cold 1835 01:17:41,689 --> 01:17:38,699 War were due to misidentifications of 1836 01:17:43,250 --> 01:17:41,699 aircraft coming out of area 51. 1837 01:17:45,290 --> 01:17:43,260 um 1838 01:17:47,030 --> 01:17:45,300 I heard something about like that they 1839 01:17:49,910 --> 01:17:47,040 originally were doing the like really 1840 01:17:52,250 --> 01:17:49,920 high flying stealth craft like they were 1841 01:17:54,830 --> 01:17:52,260 um they were in Chrome or something and 1842 01:17:57,229 --> 01:17:54,840 it was just like reflective going off 1843 01:17:58,790 --> 01:17:57,239 the charts with people calling it in 1844 01:18:00,530 --> 01:17:58,800 especially with like the whole like oh 1845 01:18:03,110 --> 01:18:00,540 the Soviets are in the sky because of 1846 01:18:04,990 --> 01:18:03,120 Sputnik and all of that right so so then 1847 01:18:08,870 --> 01:18:05,000 they started painting them black 1848 01:18:11,510 --> 01:18:08,880 yeah and in a way the the government 1849 01:18:13,910 --> 01:18:11,520 might have found it useful to allow 1850 01:18:15,950 --> 01:18:13,920 people to believe in UFO stories because 1851 01:18:16,729 --> 01:18:15,960 it acted as a useful cover for what was 1852 01:18:20,330 --> 01:18:16,739 actually 1853 01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:20,340 going on but um uh the question you're 1854 01:18:24,649 --> 01:18:22,140 asking is more about like the the 1855 01:18:27,229 --> 01:18:24,659 current sort of personalities involved 1856 01:18:29,570 --> 01:18:27,239 in um ttsa right and 1857 01:18:31,250 --> 01:18:29,580 so I don't know like I mean maybe 1858 01:18:33,410 --> 01:18:31,260 there's something about the personality 1859 01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:33,420 of people at Skunk Works like they sort 1860 01:18:37,610 --> 01:18:35,520 of think outside the box and some of 1861 01:18:39,649 --> 01:18:37,620 them just happen to be a little bit 1862 01:18:41,810 --> 01:18:39,659 too much in that direction and so they 1863 01:18:42,590 --> 01:18:41,820 sort of predisposed to believing that we 1864 01:18:44,930 --> 01:18:42,600 can 1865 01:18:49,390 --> 01:18:44,940 maybe capture alien spacecraft and 1866 01:18:54,590 --> 01:18:52,729 like a Skunk Works um you probably know 1867 01:18:57,530 --> 01:18:54,600 more about this person than I do but um 1868 01:18:58,970 --> 01:18:57,540 if somebody joins ttsa and they're from 1869 01:19:00,530 --> 01:18:58,980 the Skunk Works 1870 01:19:02,530 --> 01:19:00,540 and they're not saying that they 1871 01:19:04,550 --> 01:19:02,540 themselves worked on recovered craft 1872 01:19:06,110 --> 01:19:04,560 then doesn't that mean that there were 1873 01:19:08,330 --> 01:19:06,120 no recovered crafts because they would 1874 01:19:08,340 --> 01:19:13,430 that's what they have to say yeah right 1875 01:19:16,390 --> 01:19:14,810 yeah well that's a good point though 1876 01:19:19,729 --> 01:19:16,400 yeah 1877 01:19:23,030 --> 01:19:19,739 not just Lockheed Skunk Works but 1878 01:19:24,890 --> 01:19:23,040 there's also Boeing special division but 1879 01:19:28,130 --> 01:19:24,900 I mean really any of these Giants in 1880 01:19:29,510 --> 01:19:28,140 Aerospace um they would know about any 1881 01:19:32,209 --> 01:19:29,520 reverse engineering because they'd be 1882 01:19:34,669 --> 01:19:32,219 the ones to do it right so with the 1883 01:19:35,930 --> 01:19:34,679 Department of energy as well 1884 01:19:38,510 --> 01:19:35,940 um 1885 01:19:40,070 --> 01:19:38,520 which uh has got extensive experience at 1886 01:19:44,149 --> 01:19:40,080 the Nevada Test Site 1887 01:19:46,669 --> 01:19:44,159 and does many secret projects as well 1888 01:19:48,350 --> 01:19:46,679 on nuclear energy and they would be 1889 01:19:50,930 --> 01:19:48,360 reverse engineering any antimatter 1890 01:19:52,550 --> 01:19:50,940 reactor or anything like that but 1891 01:19:56,149 --> 01:19:52,560 there's absolutely no evidence from any 1892 01:19:59,570 --> 01:19:56,159 former doe directors or anybody that 1893 01:20:01,310 --> 01:19:59,580 there was there was any such program 1894 01:20:03,290 --> 01:20:01,320 you'll see everything the stuff that 1895 01:20:05,930 --> 01:20:03,300 Lazar is claiming would be highly 1896 01:20:08,030 --> 01:20:05,940 classified right like yeah you're able 1897 01:20:10,370 --> 01:20:08,040 to continue to do we saw that uh that 1898 01:20:12,530 --> 01:20:10,380 kid who leaked classified documents to 1899 01:20:15,110 --> 01:20:12,540 and some I think it was a Discord 1900 01:20:17,090 --> 01:20:15,120 there's people in um yeah some online 1901 01:20:18,590 --> 01:20:17,100 game involving tanks that people are 1902 01:20:19,850 --> 01:20:18,600 constantly leaking classified Dockside 1903 01:20:24,169 --> 01:20:19,860 and those guys are getting scooped up 1904 01:20:27,590 --> 01:20:24,179 immediately on live TV too so lazara's 1905 01:20:30,169 --> 01:20:27,600 got a convenient reason uh excuse me 1906 01:20:32,209 --> 01:20:30,179 um if they were to assassinate or um 1907 01:20:34,370 --> 01:20:32,219 arrest him then it would only validate 1908 01:20:38,810 --> 01:20:34,380 his story that's why they never killed 1909 01:20:43,130 --> 01:20:40,510 awesome 1910 01:20:44,630 --> 01:20:43,140 but in fact that would set a terrible 1911 01:20:46,910 --> 01:20:44,640 precedent for other whistleblowers 1912 01:20:48,830 --> 01:20:46,920 because then anybody could just come out 1913 01:20:50,510 --> 01:20:48,840 with anything and there wouldn't be any 1914 01:20:52,790 --> 01:20:50,520 consequences so in fact they would 1915 01:20:55,189 --> 01:20:52,800 arrest them they would say I mean it was 1916 01:20:57,229 --> 01:20:55,199 actually yeah revealing that they 1917 01:21:00,830 --> 01:20:57,239 certainly would and they always do it's 1918 01:21:02,810 --> 01:21:00,840 true yeah the problem that um 1919 01:21:06,050 --> 01:21:02,820 Lazar himself claims that this program 1920 01:21:07,970 --> 01:21:06,060 was like even more classified than the 1921 01:21:10,970 --> 01:21:07,980 hydrogen bomb 1922 01:21:13,250 --> 01:21:10,980 um and like they just give it to him 1923 01:21:15,050 --> 01:21:13,260 this guy who invested in brothels who 1924 01:21:18,050 --> 01:21:15,060 lied about his education 1925 01:21:20,450 --> 01:21:18,060 who was like a KGB magnet 1926 01:21:23,810 --> 01:21:20,460 um he also claims that the program was 1927 01:21:26,390 --> 01:21:23,820 very sort of bare bones 1928 01:21:28,910 --> 01:21:26,400 um like it was hardly any resources were 1929 01:21:30,950 --> 01:21:28,920 you know put to it somebody actually 1930 01:21:34,790 --> 01:21:30,960 mentioned that the um 1931 01:21:37,310 --> 01:21:34,800 just the tires on the SR-71 uh spy plane 1932 01:21:38,570 --> 01:21:37,320 had more people working on that than at 1933 01:21:41,090 --> 01:21:38,580 S4 1934 01:21:42,830 --> 01:21:41,100 it doesn't make any sense right if this 1935 01:21:45,590 --> 01:21:42,840 was like the most important program ever 1936 01:21:47,450 --> 01:21:45,600 to reverse engineer like anti-gravity 1937 01:21:51,590 --> 01:21:47,460 then it would be like the Manhattan 1938 01:21:53,270 --> 01:21:51,600 Project 2.0 right it was I feel like we 1939 01:21:55,550 --> 01:21:53,280 would see some kind of residual effects 1940 01:21:58,010 --> 01:21:55,560 from harnessing this new kind of like 1941 01:21:59,870 --> 01:21:58,020 Quantum Leap in technology too and I 1942 01:22:02,630 --> 01:21:59,880 know people will bring up like 1943 01:22:04,610 --> 01:22:02,640 ideas like Wi-Fi and fiber optics but we 1944 01:22:06,590 --> 01:22:04,620 can actually trace the origins back with 1945 01:22:09,229 --> 01:22:06,600 those you know for back so like what 1946 01:22:11,510 --> 01:22:09,239 what are we getting out of this because 1947 01:22:13,610 --> 01:22:11,520 we're not seeing it any uh in any wars 1948 01:22:14,990 --> 01:22:13,620 or anything right I'm not seeing it 1949 01:22:17,030 --> 01:22:15,000 domestically 1950 01:22:19,310 --> 01:22:17,040 so what what came from this like 1951 01:22:22,130 --> 01:22:19,320 ultimate technology that they reverse 1952 01:22:23,570 --> 01:22:22,140 engineered apparently nothing wow even 1953 01:22:26,930 --> 01:22:23,580 though those all claims that they test 1954 01:22:29,149 --> 01:22:26,940 flew the spacecraft at um S4 so they did 1955 01:22:31,850 --> 01:22:29,159 figure out basically how it works he 1956 01:22:33,890 --> 01:22:31,860 gave us all this fake physics he wants 1957 01:22:36,410 --> 01:22:33,900 us to believe so they did figure out how 1958 01:22:39,050 --> 01:22:36,420 it works basically according to him even 1959 01:22:40,669 --> 01:22:39,060 though they didn't according to him 1960 01:22:44,570 --> 01:22:40,679 um 1961 01:22:46,430 --> 01:22:44,580 some some people would say that the 1962 01:22:48,350 --> 01:22:46,440 government doesn't want um free energy 1963 01:22:51,290 --> 01:22:48,360 to be available because then it would 1964 01:22:52,010 --> 01:22:51,300 crash the economy but I think that in 1965 01:22:54,410 --> 01:22:52,020 fact 1966 01:22:57,530 --> 01:22:54,420 um free energy would give the us such a 1967 01:22:59,870 --> 01:22:57,540 strategic advantage that um 1968 01:23:02,209 --> 01:22:59,880 many people within the U.S scientists to 1969 01:23:05,229 --> 01:23:02,219 Engineers politicians military people 1970 01:23:09,550 --> 01:23:05,239 would rebel against any decision to 1971 01:23:14,030 --> 01:23:12,050 if you think about like um and this is 1972 01:23:16,370 --> 01:23:14,040 something that John B Alexander has 1973 01:23:18,830 --> 01:23:16,380 mentioned he's sort of a conspiracist 1974 01:23:22,510 --> 01:23:18,840 himself but um he's also close to the um 1975 01:23:25,550 --> 01:23:22,520 skin walker conspiracy nonsense as well 1976 01:23:28,130 --> 01:23:25,560 Skinwalker Ranch claims but he does 1977 01:23:28,910 --> 01:23:28,140 raise some good uh good points in his 1978 01:23:31,130 --> 01:23:28,920 book 1979 01:23:33,890 --> 01:23:31,140 one of them is that um if I had this 1980 01:23:38,270 --> 01:23:33,900 anti-gravity Tech then they would use it 1981 01:23:41,030 --> 01:23:38,280 to rescue like Marines or soldiers who 1982 01:23:42,169 --> 01:23:41,040 are captured in war zones 1983 01:23:44,630 --> 01:23:42,179 um 1984 01:23:46,610 --> 01:23:44,640 and that the friends of those soldiers 1985 01:23:48,590 --> 01:23:46,620 would 1986 01:23:49,729 --> 01:23:48,600 expose that technology because they 1987 01:23:52,130 --> 01:23:49,739 would be angry that the government 1988 01:23:54,290 --> 01:23:52,140 didn't use it to rescue their friends 1989 01:23:56,689 --> 01:23:54,300 right there will be too many people 1990 01:23:59,149 --> 01:23:56,699 within the military who would 1991 01:24:01,669 --> 01:23:59,159 um realize that it could have been used 1992 01:24:03,530 --> 01:24:01,679 but it wasn't and that Americans died 1993 01:24:05,510 --> 01:24:03,540 because of that and they wouldn't put up 1994 01:24:09,010 --> 01:24:05,520 with that so there would be leaks all 1995 01:24:14,930 --> 01:24:11,990 and and there are uh historic precedence 1996 01:24:16,370 --> 01:24:14,940 of uh things like that like uh and I'm 1997 01:24:20,209 --> 01:24:16,380 just trying to remember the name of it 1998 01:24:23,510 --> 01:24:20,219 but the uh CIA project that was top 1999 01:24:24,890 --> 01:24:23,520 secret where they sent a uh fake mining 2000 01:24:28,370 --> 01:24:24,900 ship into the middle of the Pacific 2001 01:24:32,390 --> 01:24:28,380 Ocean to recover a 2002 01:24:34,669 --> 01:24:32,400 sunken Russian uh nuclear submarine they 2003 01:24:36,530 --> 01:24:34,679 kept it secret for uh like at least like 2004 01:24:38,930 --> 01:24:36,540 it was like 15 years or something that 2005 01:24:41,450 --> 01:24:38,940 they actually found the location of this 2006 01:24:43,370 --> 01:24:41,460 sunken Russian ship the Russians didn't 2007 01:24:45,470 --> 01:24:43,380 know where it was and that was actually 2008 01:24:47,450 --> 01:24:45,480 okay that that's actually related very 2009 01:24:48,729 --> 01:24:47,460 closely to a bunch of the stuff right 2010 01:24:51,110 --> 01:24:48,739 because they had the underwater 2011 01:24:53,390 --> 01:24:51,120 listening devices and they were able 2012 01:24:55,790 --> 01:24:53,400 throughout the entire oh not entire but 2013 01:24:57,770 --> 01:24:55,800 a lot of the Cold War to pinpoint the 2014 01:24:59,930 --> 01:24:57,780 exact location of the entire Soviet 2015 01:25:02,149 --> 01:24:59,940 nuclear Fleet in the Pacific the entire 2016 01:25:03,649 --> 01:25:02,159 time and they did keep that secret for 2017 01:25:07,010 --> 01:25:03,659 that time but it always does come out 2018 01:25:09,169 --> 01:25:07,020 and uh this is uh just a fraction of 2019 01:25:11,930 --> 01:25:09,179 like that's a fraction of you know 2020 01:25:14,630 --> 01:25:11,940 aliens were here and stuff so right it 2021 01:25:17,149 --> 01:25:14,640 really it does fall like it's just from 2022 01:25:18,530 --> 01:25:17,159 a human one individual to individual 2023 01:25:20,390 --> 01:25:18,540 level if you think about it it's like 2024 01:25:23,810 --> 01:25:20,400 these are people they go home and stuff 2025 01:25:25,250 --> 01:25:23,820 like it's I can't it's hard to conceive 2026 01:25:27,110 --> 01:25:25,260 of it being possible and when you 2027 01:25:30,110 --> 01:25:27,120 actually look at the details and you see 2028 01:25:33,530 --> 01:25:30,120 that they sort of call lapse they aren't 2029 01:25:35,390 --> 01:25:33,540 supported by looking deeper it it does 2030 01:25:39,169 --> 01:25:35,400 make you sort of sit back and think like 2031 01:25:39,950 --> 01:25:39,179 how does this have this level of sort of 2032 01:25:45,950 --> 01:25:39,960 like 2033 01:25:47,930 --> 01:25:45,960 stunning 2034 01:25:49,930 --> 01:25:47,940 it's a little bit like the moon landing 2035 01:25:53,990 --> 01:25:49,940 conspiracy theories 2036 01:25:56,590 --> 01:25:54,000 that just is it's not possible to 2037 01:25:59,209 --> 01:25:56,600 um cover up it would actually be more 2038 01:26:02,050 --> 01:25:59,219 difficult to fake the moon landings than 2039 01:26:05,270 --> 01:26:02,060 it would be to go go to the Moon 2040 01:26:06,590 --> 01:26:05,280 yeah right right okay thank you you 2041 01:26:08,510 --> 01:26:06,600 would have to you would have to trick 2042 01:26:10,330 --> 01:26:08,520 all the engineers and scientists into 2043 01:26:12,830 --> 01:26:10,340 believing that they were building a a 2044 01:26:14,149 --> 01:26:12,840 space-worthy vehicle even though it 2045 01:26:18,350 --> 01:26:14,159 wasn't 2046 01:26:21,350 --> 01:26:20,090 everybody in the launch that's such a 2047 01:26:23,709 --> 01:26:21,360 good point everybody would be there and 2048 01:26:27,709 --> 01:26:23,719 be like we're gonna do it like 2049 01:26:30,169 --> 01:26:27,719 like fake like uh miscalculating the 2050 01:26:33,410 --> 01:26:30,179 landing approach eh like I love that 2051 01:26:36,350 --> 01:26:33,420 part of it uh Armstrong taking manual 2052 01:26:38,629 --> 01:26:36,360 control of the spaceship with 20 seconds 2053 01:26:41,030 --> 01:26:38,639 of fuel left to actually land like 2054 01:26:45,350 --> 01:26:41,040 hundreds of meters past The Landing Pad 2055 01:26:47,090 --> 01:26:45,360 like it's stunning and uh it does uh it 2056 01:26:49,669 --> 01:26:47,100 just speaks to like how uh it doesn't 2057 01:26:51,890 --> 01:26:49,679 it's not attached directly to the facts 2058 01:26:53,930 --> 01:26:51,900 there's something else going on in 2059 01:26:56,090 --> 01:26:53,940 people's minds and it's like it's like 2060 01:26:56,990 --> 01:26:56,100 the alternative narrative is fulfilling 2061 01:27:00,649 --> 01:26:57,000 something 2062 01:27:01,850 --> 01:27:00,659 happening other than just the 2063 01:27:04,970 --> 01:27:01,860 information I just pulled this up 2064 01:27:06,410 --> 01:27:04,980 project azorian that's the CIA project I 2065 01:27:09,649 --> 01:27:06,420 was talking about just a show it's like 2066 01:27:11,689 --> 01:27:09,659 uh pretty interesting little thing just 2067 01:27:13,490 --> 01:27:11,699 just the government does do conspiracies 2068 01:27:15,229 --> 01:27:13,500 but uh we find out about them and their 2069 01:27:19,189 --> 01:27:15,239 theories then they're actually just part 2070 01:27:26,870 --> 01:27:21,350 yeah 2071 01:27:28,790 --> 01:27:26,880 wrap it up uh we we sort of um we're 2072 01:27:31,070 --> 01:27:28,800 very thankful Louise that you uh were 2073 01:27:32,450 --> 01:27:31,080 willing to sort of uh go into this uh 2074 01:27:35,450 --> 01:27:32,460 this evening 2075 01:27:38,510 --> 01:27:35,460 um do you have any uh final thoughts 2076 01:27:40,129 --> 01:27:38,520 Louise about lazar's story like uh 2077 01:27:43,129 --> 01:27:40,139 things that people should take away from 2078 01:27:45,709 --> 01:27:43,139 this uh people should 2079 01:27:48,649 --> 01:27:45,719 um counter to what Lazar said in the uh 2080 01:27:50,570 --> 01:27:48,659 call Bell documentary 2081 01:27:52,149 --> 01:27:50,580 um people should in fact uh look at the 2082 01:27:55,490 --> 01:27:52,159 minutiae 2083 01:27:57,470 --> 01:27:55,500 those sorts of details make um his sorts 2084 01:27:59,510 --> 01:27:57,480 of claims like very that makes it 2085 01:28:01,790 --> 01:27:59,520 untenable when you look at the um 2086 01:28:03,770 --> 01:28:01,800 institutional and historical 2087 01:28:05,510 --> 01:28:03,780 Nitty Gritty 2088 01:28:09,290 --> 01:28:05,520 um that's what really 2089 01:28:11,810 --> 01:28:09,300 destroys these kinds of stories 2090 01:28:15,110 --> 01:28:11,820 excellent it reminds me of uh what's 2091 01:28:16,850 --> 01:28:15,120 that quote of Jay Allen heinix where um 2092 01:28:18,050 --> 01:28:16,860 the UFO phenomenon is like a bundle of 2093 01:28:19,310 --> 01:28:18,060 sticks and it doesn't matter how many 2094 01:28:20,330 --> 01:28:19,320 break as long as they still hold 2095 01:28:25,570 --> 01:28:20,340 together 2096 01:28:30,070 --> 01:28:25,580 but if any multiple of zero is zero so 2097 01:28:32,689 --> 01:28:30,080 if each claim crumbles as you look at it 2098 01:28:36,709 --> 01:28:32,699 Leslie King actually used that analogy 2099 01:28:39,649 --> 01:28:36,719 to oh say that um the the preponderance 2100 01:28:42,370 --> 01:28:39,659 of UFO cases speaks to the reality of a 2101 01:28:44,629 --> 01:28:42,380 of an otherworldly presence 2102 01:28:47,149 --> 01:28:44,639 like even though even if he could like 2103 01:28:49,370 --> 01:28:47,159 debunk any one of those strolls in that 2104 01:28:51,110 --> 01:28:49,380 bundle you still have the bundle 2105 01:28:53,510 --> 01:28:51,120 so but I think that's really faulty 2106 01:28:56,750 --> 01:28:53,520 logic yeah it'd be really interesting 2107 01:28:58,729 --> 01:28:56,760 too that if there was some real alien 2108 01:29:01,430 --> 01:28:58,739 UFO encounter and it kind of conformed 2109 01:29:03,709 --> 01:29:01,440 to the homogeny of the UFO narrative 2110 01:29:05,930 --> 01:29:03,719 that we've kind of created culturally to 2111 01:29:07,910 --> 01:29:05,940 like a flying saucer Landing with a gray 2112 01:29:10,729 --> 01:29:07,920 in it despite right 2113 01:29:12,470 --> 01:29:10,739 you know decades and Decades of these 2114 01:29:15,050 --> 01:29:12,480 turning out to be misidentifications and 2115 01:29:17,390 --> 01:29:15,060 hoax is kind of spurred by media 2116 01:29:19,610 --> 01:29:17,400 so yeah that you'd think that the the 2117 01:29:21,169 --> 01:29:19,620 real case is the actual sticks there 2118 01:29:22,010 --> 01:29:21,179 would kind of stick out like a sore 2119 01:29:24,830 --> 01:29:22,020 thumb 2120 01:29:26,689 --> 01:29:24,840 the real case would be something that is 2121 01:29:28,550 --> 01:29:26,699 very different to the typical UFO 2122 01:29:30,950 --> 01:29:28,560 narrative and something that actually 2123 01:29:34,850 --> 01:29:30,960 has got strong evidence for it right 2124 01:29:37,850 --> 01:29:34,860 well yeah most importantly yeah and this 2125 01:29:40,910 --> 01:29:37,860 breaks to mind uh the origins of Occam's 2126 01:29:44,030 --> 01:29:40,920 razor right uh William of Occam a 14th 2127 01:29:47,270 --> 01:29:44,040 century Friar Occam's razor was 2128 01:29:49,910 --> 01:29:47,280 originally created to argue that the uh 2129 01:29:52,310 --> 01:29:49,920 wide number of claims of witnessing 2130 01:29:54,530 --> 01:29:52,320 miracles from around Europe uh 2131 01:29:56,990 --> 01:29:54,540 throughout the years similar features of 2132 01:29:58,490 --> 01:29:57,000 the clams provided evidence that the 2133 01:30:01,070 --> 01:29:58,500 simplest answer is that Miracles are 2134 01:30:03,470 --> 01:30:01,080 real and that was the origin of Occam's 2135 01:30:06,110 --> 01:30:03,480 razor so uh it's important to remember 2136 01:30:07,550 --> 01:30:06,120 that um you know even in applying 2137 01:30:09,410 --> 01:30:07,560 Occam's race or something what you're 2138 01:30:11,629 --> 01:30:09,420 putting into it is what really kind of 2139 01:30:14,270 --> 01:30:11,639 matters more than sort of the the little 2140 01:30:17,450 --> 01:30:14,280 trick itself like like the details 2141 01:30:23,750 --> 01:30:20,750 is that it I guess I guess so for now 2142 01:30:26,570 --> 01:30:23,760 yeah Nick you have any parting words for 2143 01:30:30,050 --> 01:30:26,580 us let me just um 2144 01:30:33,590 --> 01:30:30,060 by Curtis Peebles oh yes watch this 2145 01:30:35,629 --> 01:30:33,600 guy's Fame yeah yeah exactly this one's 2146 01:30:37,910 --> 01:30:35,639 about the um Skunk Works and other top 2147 01:30:39,709 --> 01:30:37,920 secret uh projects 2148 01:30:43,790 --> 01:30:39,719 um in Aerospace 2149 01:30:46,310 --> 01:30:43,800 Area 51 really good History Nice 2150 01:30:51,590 --> 01:30:46,320 this is the actual history of area 51. 2151 01:30:56,629 --> 01:30:53,750 all right yeah yeah you're feeling good 2152 01:30:58,490 --> 01:30:56,639 Nick yeah we hit an hour and a half it's 2153 01:31:01,070 --> 01:30:58,500 pretty good yeah yeah that's not bad 2154 01:31:04,010 --> 01:31:01,080 three uh three out of four we did uh 2155 01:31:06,350 --> 01:31:04,020 three half hours out of four there we go 2156 01:31:09,169 --> 01:31:06,360 there yeah half hour person that's how 2157 01:31:10,790 --> 01:31:09,179 it works right yeah oh Jeff Jeff knoxing 2158 01:31:12,709 --> 01:31:10,800 uh Occam's razor has to be one of the 2159 01:31:15,050 --> 01:31:12,719 most misquoted misrepresented things 2160 01:31:16,729 --> 01:31:15,060 yeah I do agree 2161 01:31:18,590 --> 01:31:16,739 um there's there's a part that always 2162 01:31:21,470 --> 01:31:18,600 gets left out in that um all things 2163 01:31:23,870 --> 01:31:21,480 being equal right so when we have equal 2164 01:31:26,030 --> 01:31:23,880 corroborating evidence or two opposing 2165 01:31:27,470 --> 01:31:26,040 things that's when Occam's Racers 2166 01:31:30,470 --> 01:31:27,480 usually applied 2167 01:31:33,290 --> 01:31:30,480 yeah it does I agree 2168 01:31:35,090 --> 01:31:33,300 yeah that makes it better yeah that's uh 2169 01:31:37,250 --> 01:31:35,100 that's a better saying we should we 2170 01:31:40,430 --> 01:31:37,260 should perpetuate that 2171 01:31:41,870 --> 01:31:40,440 okay well uh I guess that's it for 2172 01:31:43,970 --> 01:31:41,880 tonight 2173 01:31:47,510
