1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:04,080 what do you think is going to happen to just\h Humanity I mean where do you think we go with\h\h 2 00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:09,780 that information hopefully we get the information\h to use that to our benefit and we can do things\h\h 3 00:00:09,780 --> 00:00:14,580 like perpetual motion or perpetual energy\h but we can solve a lot of our problems and\h\h 4 00:00:14,580 --> 00:00:19,440 maybe we can even learn from them how not\h to have conflicts with each other as well 5 00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:33,000 welcome to merge I'm Ryan Graves today we're\h joined by Chris Van Voorhees who at the age of\h\h 6 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,940 14 started flying with the Civil Air Patrol today\h he's a domestic and international commercial pilot\h\h 7 00:00:38,940 --> 00:00:44,460 with over 30 000 flight hours Chris has come\h forward to share his multiple UAP encounters\h\h 8 00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:50,940 throughout his long career including the ones\h that continue today and now Chris Van Voorhees\h\h 9 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:57,780 thank you for joining me um I'm super excited to\h talk to you you've been a commercial pilot and\h\h 10 00:00:57,780 --> 00:01:05,040 I mean really just a pilot practically your whole\h life I think you I mean you started flying before\h\h 11 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:10,740 most people even were driving a car is that\h fair to say uh actually I was flying before I\h\h 12 00:01:10,740 --> 00:01:15,960 could drive a car yes incredible so why don't you\h tell us about that so you started off just briefly\h\h 13 00:01:15,960 --> 00:01:20,580 maybe you can tell us a little bit about your your\h journey as a pilot and up to where you are now\h\h 14 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,000 sure I started out actually when I was about 14\h years old I started flying gliders in Civil Air\h\h 15 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:32,760 Patrol okay and started flying fixed-wing aircraft\h also in Civil Air Patrol and it transitioned\h\h 16 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:38,280 through high school and I got my private Palace\h license right when I turned 17 through a program\h\h 17 00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:44,880 in my high school and it was just kind of all\h after that a big snowball I did whatever I\h\h 18 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:50,760 could like most aviators to Big Barrel and steel\h flight time and built it up polishing airplanes\h\h 19 00:01:50,760 --> 00:01:57,420 and working on flight lines or whatever I could\h do and it kind of accumulated after a while to the\h\h 20 00:01:57,420 --> 00:02:04,080 point where I got hired by an individual out in\h Rialto Airport to do Charter work for them and to\h\h 21 00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:11,940 do some types of movie oriented things his name\h was art show like flying for oh art show really\h\h 22 00:02:11,940 --> 00:02:17,220 cool and so flying for movie shots and things of\h that nature and things of that type yes okay man\h\h 23 00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:23,460 14. so I mean you you knew basically is as you're\h growing up that you want to fly or did you just\h\h 24 00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:30,300 find it when you were 13 well it's kind of a long\h story actually but when I was young I used to sit\h\h 25 00:02:30,300 --> 00:02:35,940 out in my backyard and watch airplanes at this\h airport close to us called bracket airport and\h\h 26 00:02:35,940 --> 00:02:41,400 no one else in my family was really in aviation\h at all my grandfather had a short stint where he\h\h 27 00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:47,160 had a an old Newport from post-world war one that\h he flew for three years until he crashed it and\h\h 28 00:02:47,160 --> 00:02:51,780 some grapes double out in Ontario but other than\h that no one else in my family was interested in\h\h 29 00:02:51,780 --> 00:02:58,080 aviation and I used to sit on this wall in the\h backyard and watch the airplanes down at bracket\h\h 30 00:02:58,080 --> 00:03:04,200 airport and one day they were having an air show\h down there and my parents were gone I decided with\h\h 31 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:10,500 my infinite wisdom to go down and see the air show\h myself I had a babysitter at the time and I just\h\h 32 00:03:10,500 --> 00:03:17,220 took off and went and went out and it was about I\h guess two and a half miles or so and walked down\h\h 33 00:03:17,220 --> 00:03:23,520 and and uh and was standing there watching the\h airplanes and sooner or later I was approached\h\h 34 00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:30,900 by this gentleman wearing a uniform police uniform\h and he says your name wouldn't happen to be Chris\h\h 35 00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:36,540 wouldn't and I was like yeah we have some yeah\h we have some people that are very interested\h\h 36 00:03:36,540 --> 00:03:42,300 to know where you are and he took me and and\h at that point and showed me he was uh the the\h\h 37 00:03:43,260 --> 00:03:48,840 operator of the Aero Bureau for Pomona Police\h Department and he took me in the helicopter and\h\h 38 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:54,360 he showed me all around and it was kind of like\h gosh these people are really neat I really like\h\h 39 00:03:54,360 --> 00:04:01,980 this and it stuck and it just became like I\h was saying uh earlier to you it became like a\h\h 40 00:04:01,980 --> 00:04:07,320 disease where it gets in your blood and it just\h doesn't leave yeah awesome man yeah and you're\h\h 41 00:04:07,320 --> 00:04:11,880 out there you're scrubbing planes and trying\h to get some time yeah uh what was really your\h\h 42 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:17,040 kind of first break as far as your opportunity\h to get behind the cockpit oh actually it was\h\h 43 00:04:18,180 --> 00:04:25,140 working for another movie production company\h um that was based out of Beverly Hills and this\h\h 44 00:04:25,140 --> 00:04:30,840 individual he needed somebody to fly him up to\h Lake Tahoe every weekend and so I would actually\h\h 45 00:04:30,840 --> 00:04:36,960 rent an airplane and fly him up to Lake Tahoe\h and next thing you know his business has really\h\h 46 00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:44,400 started blossoming and we went from flying him\h up to Lake Tahoe to him having to have his own\h\h 47 00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:52,020 airplane and then he ended up uh it was actually\h needing a twin engine airplane I didn't have a\h\h 48 00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:57,420 twin engine rating so he got me the twin engine\h rating and then I ended up flying him around and\h\h 49 00:04:57,420 --> 00:05:04,920 ended up by the time I was I think 20 years old\h I was flying a Lear 25 even though I couldn't\h\h 50 00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:11,520 be qualified in it according to the FAA I had to\h fly with a qualified individual but you know 20\h\h 51 00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,220 20 years old flying a leader 25 at that time was\h quite a quite an accomplishment very cool do you\h\h 52 00:05:17,220 --> 00:05:21,840 have any thoughts of flying lying in the military\h yes I did actually you know being in Civil Air\h\h 53 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:28,260 Patrol I really did want to fly in the military\h but as I got into uh academy prep and found out\h\h 54 00:05:28,260 --> 00:05:33,960 through the air force that my vision wasn't good\h enough at the time to uh fly Fighters and it just\h\h 55 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:39,600 kind of like just you know pulled the zoo out\h of me yeah yep I know a lot of people I mean I\h\h 56 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:45,660 was in that point myself I had to have laser eye\h surgery myself just so I could fly so that was an\h\h 57 00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:50,700 option for you back then how about correct yeah\h oh this was way back in ancient history in 1977.\h\h 58 00:05:51,720 --> 00:05:56,880 wow so you know he's basically been looking up\h the at the sky since you've been a little kid\h\h 59 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:02,520 and wanting to fly yeah I imagine there's been\h a plethora of other aircraft that you've flown\h\h 60 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:10,260 really since then where are you now as a Aviator\h actually I'm uh an Airbus captain and uh I've been\h\h 61 00:06:10,260 --> 00:06:15,960 an instructor in the Airbus and Sim instructor and\h ground instructor over the past well I actually\h\h 62 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:23,280 was about uh pre-covered it's about uh what two\h and a half years ago or so up to that point and so\h\h 63 00:06:23,280 --> 00:06:29,580 I've been flying as a captain with other entities\h Japan Airlines or xiaowways is what it was called\h\h 64 00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:38,700 uh flew as a DC-10 Captain 747 captain and then\h was transitioning to the 747-400 when the economic\h\h 65 00:06:38,700 --> 00:06:48,960 downturn of 2008 2009 hit man when I think of like\h when people ask me questions about hey did you\h\h 66 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,160 like always want to be a pilot and stuff I almost\h guiltily say no you know like it's just like hey\h\h 67 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:57,420 I figured it out when I was in college but that's\h so cool that you just had that path in your life\h\h 68 00:06:57,420 --> 00:07:01,800 from a very early age that passion yeah I took I\h took some alternate routes in the meantime when\h\h 69 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:07,920 it was hard to get a flying job you know did voice\h over work uh actually became a police officer in\h\h 70 00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:13,860 the city of El Monte for a little over a year\h I wanted to fly for a law enforcement agency\h\h 71 00:07:13,860 --> 00:07:18,420 but at that point in time there were so many\h Vietnam vets that were ahead of me it became\h\h 72 00:07:18,420 --> 00:07:23,160 discouraging you're still actively flying your\h commercial pilot you're flying with passengers\h\h 73 00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:32,040 and I understand that you've had a couple at least\h UAP or UFO experiences um there have been some\h\h 74 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:37,020 cases over the over the United States and likely\h elsewhere but that's where it's been reported\h\h 75 00:07:37,020 --> 00:07:44,100 now uh about lights in the sky over aircraft I\h also understand you had an incredible experience\h\h 76 00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:51,060 um about a decade or so ago maybe two which one\h would you like to talk about first um well let's\h\h 77 00:07:51,060 --> 00:07:56,820 start out with the earliest one which was in 2005.\h okay and that's when I was flying for gelways or\h\h 78 00:07:56,820 --> 00:08:04,560 Japan Airlines and that was coming out of Fukuoka\h into Honolulu and we were somewhere around just\h\h 79 00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:09,420 past the International Date Line and it was\h really early in the morning when there's just\h\h 80 00:08:09,420 --> 00:08:16,080 a small little sliver of light blue on the horizon\h flying with another captain and a flight engineer\h\h 81 00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:22,800 on the DC-10 so there's three cockpit crew members\h and uh all of a sudden I saw some type of glint\h\h 82 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:28,740 on the corner of my eye and looked up it was\h probably at around 30 degrees in inclination\h\h 83 00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:35,400 and maybe about the 10 o'clock position from our\h aircraft and three large discs and you know I hate\h\h 84 00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:41,340 to sound cliche for that but three large discs\h in a triangular formation Ashley came into the\h\h 85 00:08:41,340 --> 00:08:47,460 atmosphere glinting off the Sun that was over\h the horizon all right well so you were looking\h\h 86 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:53,940 up at 30 degrees and it was about 10 degrees off\h your nose you said did we how far did you say you\h\h 87 00:08:53,940 --> 00:08:58,740 thought it was were you able to estimate that at\h all you know it was really difficult it was far\h\h 88 00:08:58,740 --> 00:09:06,120 enough to have the sun glinting off of it that was\h still down over the horizon and uh it was uh these\h\h 89 00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:13,560 things were huge I mean there was no way to to not\h say they were and for anyone not to be able to see\h\h 90 00:09:13,560 --> 00:09:20,160 it it was amazing to me because we had another\h aircraft in front of us they saw it um we saw it\h\h 91 00:09:20,160 --> 00:09:25,020 and we were talking with them and it was such a\h short period we only saw it for maybe 15 seconds\h\h 92 00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,160 um and we asked them are they going to\h tell anybody and they're like no we're\h\h 93 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,520 not going to say anything are you no\h we're not going to say anything either\h\h 94 00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:38,460 um right who would the FAA controllers are saying\h that or the other aircraft no this was out over\h\h 95 00:09:38,460 --> 00:09:43,380 the middle of the Pacific Ocean so there's another\h air Japan flight and it was down in front of us\h\h 96 00:09:43,380 --> 00:09:48,780 down below us and um they they had seen it as\h well okay so they did actually see it but they\h\h 97 00:09:48,780 --> 00:09:52,500 were saying like Hey we're not going to really\h report to sell not all three of us in the cockpit\h\h 98 00:09:52,500 --> 00:09:58,560 saw it wow and uh I still am in contact with those\h individuals today and we still reminisce about it\h\h 99 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:03,360 really because it was something that still even\h now it makes the hair stand up on the back of\h\h 100 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,580 my neck I felt privileged to have seen it there\h were people that asked me were you scared and I\h\h 101 00:10:08,580 --> 00:10:15,180 was like no I felt pretty privileged because it\h was something that really changed my view on on\h\h 102 00:10:15,180 --> 00:10:22,620 UFOs or uaps up to that point it had always been\h something that had been you know I I I'd seen some\h\h 103 00:10:22,620 --> 00:10:30,480 things that were odd but I'd never seen anything\h like that I attributed my at that point in time I\h\h 104 00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:38,760 should say I I look at what I was compared to what\h I am now in the way of mind or my mind being open\h\h 105 00:10:40,020 --> 00:10:46,980 um it opened my mind really and it allowed me to\h all of a sudden say hey these things aren't in\h\h 106 00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:53,820 the world of fantasy these are something that's\h real there's something that that uh you know is\h\h 107 00:10:53,820 --> 00:11:00,180 not in the Paranormal and it should be taken\h as being real and looked at scientifically but\h\h 108 00:11:00,180 --> 00:11:06,120 unfortunately back in in 2005 that was even before\h we had iPhones and I couldn't even take a video\h\h 109 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:11,700 or anything like that of it because these things\h when they came in and reoriented themselves in the\h\h 110 00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:18,600 atmosphere they accelerated I I wasn't even really\h saying they were accelerating because they were at\h\h 111 00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:24,120 speed and gone over the horizon in just a matter\h of uh yeah let's go back to that so they're in a\h\h 112 00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:29,040 triangle with essentially like the point facing in\h the direction they're moving and it did it descend\h\h 113 00:11:29,040 --> 00:11:33,840 down or was it level when you were looking at it\h do you remember that no they just kind of came in\h\h 114 00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:40,380 and stopped it wasn't they were they were coming\h in at an angle and then stopped and then they\h\h 115 00:11:40,380 --> 00:11:48,000 kind of ascending from space right from somewhere\h above okay and they stopped they kind of slightly\h\h 116 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000 reoriented like the whole the whole formation\h to triangular formation reoriented and then gone\h\h 117 00:11:55,020 --> 00:12:00,900 yes disappear couldn't see it or you see it moving\h no you could see it accelerate really but it was\h\h 118 00:12:00,900 --> 00:12:06,120 just at speed instantaneously it's almost not\h even accelerating just kind of not moving and\h\h 119 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:11,100 then moving right direction it just seems so\h fast wow it would it had to be some type of\h\h 120 00:12:11,820 --> 00:12:18,000 technology that we didn't have in uh in 2005 I\h can tell you that much how big do you think they\h\h 121 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:23,940 were you know I would say at least 100 foot\h across in order to be seen at that altitude\h\h 122 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:33,540 like we saw them in it was it was something\h that's hard to judge but because they were\h\h 123 00:12:34,260 --> 00:12:40,860 actually reflecting the sunlight that was still\h over the horizon and their angle from us they were\h\h 124 00:12:40,860 --> 00:12:48,360 still very high and they appeared to be very large\h so at least 100 feet across fascinating yeah they\h\h 125 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,860 were huge their relative position in the formation\h right like could you have fit another one of them\h\h 126 00:12:52,860 --> 00:12:57,480 in between like can you kind of give us a sense\h of how spaced out the formation was it might not\h\h 127 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:03,540 have been easy to tell with that a grazing angle\h but hmm you know that that's rather hard to say\h\h 128 00:13:04,260 --> 00:13:11,040 um but I would say you would have been able to fit\h one more maybe in between the middle of it very\h\h 129 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:16,980 good man so you weren't really you know you've had\h some experience maybe not even had experiences but\h\h 130 00:13:16,980 --> 00:13:22,980 you just kind of casually you know observe some\h of the you know UFO talk back in the day and then\h\h 131 00:13:22,980 --> 00:13:28,380 this kind of really changed that for you it kind\h of made you feel well maybe not kind of was it was\h\h 132 00:13:28,380 --> 00:13:33,360 a very strong feeling is what I'm picking up what\h about the other crewmates you said you said you\h\h 133 00:13:33,360 --> 00:13:39,300 still talk to them do you do they feel the same\h way as you oh yeah they they do but again there's\h\h 134 00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:45,780 such a stigma around it or and the the uh I guess\h the aura of ridicule that even to this day and\h\h 135 00:13:45,780 --> 00:13:50,580 time people don't want to come out in the open and\h talk about it and that's one reason that I'm doing\h\h 136 00:13:50,580 --> 00:13:57,540 this is because I want to take it out of the real\h I want to take it out of the Paranormal type of of\h\h 137 00:13:57,540 --> 00:14:04,080 uh I guess you could say the the aura around\h it yeah and put it into the reality of today\h\h 138 00:14:04,080 --> 00:14:10,500 because I want to look at it from the scientific\h standpoint the technological standpoint and the\h\h 139 00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:16,800 aviation safety standpoint that's absolutely\h absolutely I agree with you 100 on that it's\h\h 140 00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:21,660 it's frustrating to think that you had such like\h a powerful experience all of you together and you\h\h 141 00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:25,200 have this strange sense of Shame almost around\h it you don't want to talk about I mean that's\h\h 142 00:14:25,860 --> 00:14:31,380 I imagine that must be very conflicting it is and\h you know when you're talking to somebody and you\h\h 143 00:14:31,380 --> 00:14:36,840 start talking about uaps or UFOs and they just\h kind of you know smirk at you and like yeah right\h\h 144 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:43,320 um it's it's moved out of that realm now to\h where you're talking about people are actually\h\h 145 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,800 interested in it um we have a lot of our Pilots\h where I currently work that have come forward\h\h 146 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:54,780 to me and say hey you know I've seen stuff out\h there that I can't explain wow but I don't have\h\h 147 00:14:54,780 --> 00:15:02,100 an Avenue really to express what I've seen without\h repercussions from the airline because let's face\h\h 148 00:15:02,100 --> 00:15:07,380 it the airlines don't want to have uh people out\h there saying oh my Pilots are out there seeing\h\h 149 00:15:07,380 --> 00:15:15,300 UFOs or uaps um because well let's take it as\h an example back in this was back in 1986 but\h\h 150 00:15:15,300 --> 00:15:23,880 at Japan Airlines there was a pilot his name was\h uh kenju tarahuchi and he was flying a 747 from\h\h 151 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:31,380 Paris France yes and there were over Anchorage\h and they actually encountered three UFOs one\h\h 152 00:15:31,380 --> 00:15:40,020 very large one and two smaller ones and it was\h actually uh picked up on radar the military also\h\h 153 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:46,980 was able to look at it they scrabbled aircraft\h the US military the U.S military and it was one\h\h 154 00:15:46,980 --> 00:15:53,160 of the best documented UFO incidents in the\h commercial aviation history up to that point\h\h 155 00:15:53,160 --> 00:16:00,840 that was in 1986. we'll have to look into that\h it was it was really something that was really\h\h 156 00:16:00,840 --> 00:16:06,780 interesting because all of a sudden all the tapes\h everything disappeared from the radar the radar\h\h 157 00:16:06,780 --> 00:16:16,440 everything gone voice two voice two but the radar\h uh controller kept a copy so it is on record by\h\h 158 00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:22,200 the way huh and it's it's very interesting but\h the poor captain that was associated with this\h\h 159 00:16:23,340 --> 00:16:29,100 um they gave him a ground job they took him and\h and they stopped them from flying they stopped\h\h 160 00:16:29,100 --> 00:16:35,160 him from flying why I guess they figured that\h he was mentally unfit oh man because you know\h\h 161 00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:42,300 and that's the thing about it and it's still kind\h of today today has this uh aura or stigma around\h\h 162 00:16:42,300 --> 00:16:49,260 it uh unfortunately and being able to take\h it from this this Paranormal State and put\h\h 163 00:16:49,260 --> 00:16:54,540 it into the state of reality is something that we\h need to do it's something that we really need to\h\h 164 00:16:54,540 --> 00:17:01,800 look at and and pursue uh from the standpoint\h we need this information for the scientific\h\h 165 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:08,160 advance and it's data right like that's all data\h that we we could be using to to learn about this\h\h 166 00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:12,780 phenomenon I'll tell you what the fact that\h they went and launched intercept aircraft\h\h 167 00:17:13,740 --> 00:17:19,800 um and had all the radar I mean that that's all a\h very well documented process that will go on to so\h\h 168 00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:26,160 to think that they grounded him for um mental\h being mentally unfit honestly it sounds more\h\h 169 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:31,680 like a retribution than really anything else it's\h pure retribution well the Japanese had a way of\h\h 170 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:39,480 keeping your mouth shut about things and then they\h would do what we call called the shuffle if they\h\h 171 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:43,260 if you knew something about one thing that you\h shouldn't know they would Shuffle you to another\h\h 172 00:17:43,260 --> 00:17:49,020 area where you couldn't say anything about it and\h that's basically what they did with him man that\h\h 173 00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:52,860 that's tough you work he you know I'm sure\h he worked for a very long time to get into\h\h 174 00:17:52,860 --> 00:17:57,600 that position the 747 is a big aircraft that's not\h something you just kind of walk into off the line\h\h 175 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:04,440 um that's a shame yeah yeah now what\h about yourself I mean you're still uh\h\h 176 00:18:04,440 --> 00:18:09,540 an active captain do you have any fear that\h there'll be retribution against yourself uh\h\h 177 00:18:09,540 --> 00:18:18,840 actually yes I've already had uh calls from\h upper management uh basically telling me not in\h\h 178 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:26,880 the the words but telling me to basically cease\h and desist and but they do not mention the airline\h\h 179 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:31,680 yeah you can do whatever you want on a private\h standpoint but do not mention the airline under\h\h 180 00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:39,180 any circumstances there's still one you know and\h it's really funny because they're not afraid to\h\h 181 00:18:39,180 --> 00:18:42,960 come forward like if I was talking about just\h satellites or something they'd be oh yeah that's\h\h 182 00:18:42,960 --> 00:18:48,540 fine but because it has the word unidentified\h in there uh all of a sudden it's just like oh\h\h 183 00:18:48,540 --> 00:18:53,220 no don't talk about it do you think it's pure\h skepticism or stigma or do you think there's\h\h 184 00:18:53,220 --> 00:18:58,860 something more to it I think there's something\h more to it hmm I think that the airline looks at\h\h 185 00:18:58,860 --> 00:19:03,840 it like oh well we don't want people thinking that\h our Pilots are out there flying around and seeing\h\h 186 00:19:03,840 --> 00:19:11,460 UFOs even though that I would say you know 40 of\h us or more have actually seen uh uaps out there\h\h 187 00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:16,440 um they don't want to broadcast that and I can\h understand that so do you think on on average\h\h 188 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:21,240 perhaps like these Airline the management\h understands that this is is real it's just\h\h 189 00:19:21,240 --> 00:19:26,580 they don't want to deal with it exactly they have\h other problems to deal with well you would think\h\h 190 00:19:26,580 --> 00:19:31,560 that Aviation safety would be pretty high on\h their list of concerns well let me put it this\h\h 191 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:38,460 way it is but nothing has happened yet and until\h something would were to happen uh instead of being\h\h 192 00:19:38,460 --> 00:19:43,500 proactive about it they're reactive when it comes\h to something like this so do you think the airline\h\h 193 00:19:43,500 --> 00:19:48,120 you know the those organizations cells would\h should be part of the conversation or should the\h\h 194 00:19:48,120 --> 00:19:53,700 pilots have some type of reporting mechanism that\h would be associated with some type of centralized\h\h 195 00:19:53,700 --> 00:20:00,780 reporting mechanism perhaps that aviators Trust\h I think that would be the best best thing to have\h\h 196 00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:07,860 something where we could report almost anonymously\h or if not completely anonymously um to where we\h\h 197 00:20:07,860 --> 00:20:13,380 could feel free to report what we need to without\h having any retribution or ridicule from the\h\h 198 00:20:13,380 --> 00:20:20,760 airline or do I mean we're seeing that uh going\h um through the process right now for military\h\h 199 00:20:22,380 --> 00:20:26,760 um aviators defense contractors it\h doesn't sound like the commercial Aviation\h\h 200 00:20:27,840 --> 00:20:33,000 um the pilots themselves they have any outlet\h they have no protection essentially they have\h\h 201 00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:37,140 no ability to even report this safety issue to\h their chain of command through their business\h\h 202 00:20:37,140 --> 00:20:42,060 without fear of Retribution well you have\h different organizations including the FAA and\h\h 203 00:20:42,060 --> 00:20:49,020 our cap NASA they do have reporting systems but\h they're inadequate and unfortunately they don't\h\h 204 00:20:49,020 --> 00:20:54,900 allow you to actually get a response from them or\h there there is no response even though you put in\h\h 205 00:20:54,900 --> 00:21:00,420 something it just falls on deaf ears goes into\h the the file it's just the way to replicate you\h\h 206 00:21:00,420 --> 00:21:04,200 essentially you don't expect anything that\h actually basically okay so there's no one\h\h 207 00:21:04,200 --> 00:21:09,300 actually doing anything with that data it's you\h know theoretically we wouldn't be able to share\h\h 208 00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:15,060 it it would likely be anonymized so perhaps that\h would be a data source if we were able to get a\h\h 209 00:21:15,060 --> 00:21:20,220 centralized reporting location that Pilots so long\h as it was a standardized reporting mechanism that\h\h 210 00:21:20,220 --> 00:21:24,900 we could actually gather useful data from that's\h correct is it more to poke around on that story\h\h 211 00:21:25,740 --> 00:21:31,500 you know the the only other thing that I can think\h to poke around on that story is the fact that\h\h 212 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:40,380 there's all these um you know reports coming in\h from commercial airline pilots now about about\h\h 213 00:21:40,380 --> 00:21:49,920 things that um are UFO or UAP Associated and\h it's too bad that all this data from the past\h\h 214 00:21:50,820 --> 00:21:56,160 was wiped out because you know you've been\h seeing uaps and UFOs you know people think\h\h 215 00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:01,860 it's a recent phenomena but it's not and you\h know even throughout history they can see where\h\h 216 00:22:01,860 --> 00:22:07,740 it's it's been you know I mean even paintings\h or whatever with uh UFOs or whatever in it so\h\h 217 00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:13,920 I think it's a shame that all this data that\h could have been collected is is gone evaporating\h\h 218 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:19,680 that's a good point it is um my hope would be that\h we could make up with that with some modern tools\h\h 219 00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:27,780 perhaps um well speaking of of of modern tools so\h I'd like to hear a little bit about some of the I\h\h 220 00:22:27,780 --> 00:22:32,220 mean so you've had this incredible experience\h it's essentially changed where you sit within\h\h 221 00:22:32,220 --> 00:22:37,080 the universe at least I would imagine you know I\h mean one that's like an Incredible Gift I would\h\h 222 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,460 say to have even if you haven't been able to\h really like celebrate it I think publicly it's\h\h 223 00:22:41,460 --> 00:22:45,600 yeah that's still I think a special gift but\h I was a skeptic beforehand I know be quite\h\h 224 00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:52,080 honest with that I'd been flying uh 35 years up\h to that point and I was always like oh I've never\h\h 225 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:57,600 seen anything I can't at least explain somehow\h someway what it is including you know the tether\h\h 226 00:22:57,600 --> 00:23:03,120 coming off the space shuttle uh when they were\h doing experiments to generate electricity I've\h\h 227 00:23:03,120 --> 00:23:09,240 watched space junk re-enter meteorites re-enter\h satellites satellite launches upper atmosphere\h\h 228 00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:16,980 launches from aircraft I've seen about all of it\h and you know being able to see that in 2005 if\h\h 229 00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:21,720 you want to say it really rock my world it did\h really rock my world and it made me a Believer\h\h 230 00:23:21,720 --> 00:23:27,720 and you know people were like well you think it\h was aliens I don't know and uh it could have been\h\h 231 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:33,300 Little Green Men or it could have been you know\h interdimensional travel it could have been time\h\h 232 00:23:33,300 --> 00:23:40,020 travel and it could have been no I will say it\h wasn't military because in 2005 we didn't have any\h\h 233 00:23:40,020 --> 00:23:45,000 technology like that and it had to have been some\h type of anti-gravitational technology in order to\h\h 234 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:52,740 accelerate that rapidly incredible did this change\h really how you think about other things that are a\h\h 235 00:23:52,740 --> 00:23:57,420 little more subjective do you consider yourself\h like a religious person or how does that change\h\h 236 00:23:57,420 --> 00:24:02,580 your life kind of maybe with other topics\h that are hard to Grapple with well there's\h\h 237 00:24:02,580 --> 00:24:11,100 a difference between belief and religion okay um I\h believe in a superior being of course and but I am\h\h 238 00:24:11,100 --> 00:24:17,160 not maintaining there's a certain religion and I\h think there's a difficulty with some individuals\h\h 239 00:24:18,180 --> 00:24:22,560 um and their religious beliefs and UFOs or uaps\h\h 240 00:24:23,400 --> 00:24:32,280 um I think that it has to be approached from\h the standpoint of like the that when you look\h\h 241 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:40,140 into the Bible and you look at what the Bible says\h it leaves a lot of holes for us to mend with our\h\h 242 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:46,140 understanding and part of our understanding\h is that the fact we we can't be alone in\h\h 243 00:24:46,140 --> 00:24:53,100 the universe and whether it's through portals or\h some type of inner space interdimensional travel\h\h 244 00:24:54,420 --> 00:24:59,700 we are going to be visiting whether or not\h if you want to say as a skeptic we have been\h\h 245 00:24:59,700 --> 00:25:06,660 in the past or not I don't know but we will be\h visited um people look at the Earth as being a\h\h 246 00:25:06,660 --> 00:25:12,300 resource also maybe for Interstellar travel\h uh the Water we have one of the few planets\h\h 247 00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:19,740 with liquid liquid water on it so that may be a\h resource that they're looking for as well and with\h\h 248 00:25:19,740 --> 00:25:30,900 all the Usos and and it seems like there's a lot\h of it these days underwater yeah [Music] um that's\h\h 249 00:25:30,900 --> 00:25:34,680 kind of when you kind of start zooming out once\h you kind of have accepted that kind of information\h\h 250 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:39,180 you've had experience like yourself or whether\h you've done the homework to convince yourself that\h\h 251 00:25:39,780 --> 00:25:44,220 um you know something's going on it really\h does provide a lot of food for the various\h\h 252 00:25:44,220 --> 00:25:49,860 paths that could be it's fascinating yeah and\h there there are difficulties in relating it uh\h\h 253 00:25:49,860 --> 00:25:56,040 to religious beliefs but when you dive into\h it a little deeper like a lot of people have\h\h 254 00:25:57,060 --> 00:26:02,160 um you'll find out that there there's actually\h references uh like The Book of Enoch in the\h\h 255 00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:06,540 Bible that was completely removed because\h it had references to extraterrestrials in\h\h 256 00:26:06,540 --> 00:26:12,240 it I was going to ask if um if there are\h any other kind of things that this is you\h\h 257 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:16,080 know after you had the experience you know are\h there other things that you previously thought\h\h 258 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:22,080 were kind of baloney that you've either you know\h reconsidered or otherwise changed your beliefs\h\h 259 00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:28,020 um let me put it this way my mind's a lot\h more open to a lot of things very good so\h\h 260 00:26:28,020 --> 00:26:36,660 um beforehand and being a pilot uh one thing that\h you kind of are taught or learned early on is it's\h\h 261 00:26:36,660 --> 00:26:41,460 a very black and white world this is the way you\h do it you have the rules the SOP is a standard\h\h 262 00:26:41,460 --> 00:26:47,880 operating procedures you adhere to this you don't\h you don't deviate from it at all it's black and\h\h 263 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:58,320 white well unfortunately the world has a lot of\h gray in it as well and uh we are dealing now in in\h\h 264 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:03,900 this day and age with a lot of gray everything\h isn't as black and white as it used to be\h\h 265 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:15,420 yep I agree so let's fast forward you're flying\h it's now present day you've been seeing objects\h\h 266 00:27:15,420 --> 00:27:22,920 over there continental United States over\h off the western coast we've recently on the\h\h 267 00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:27,840 show talked with other commercial pilots who\h have seen some of these objects we've seen\h\h 268 00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:32,700 tens of Pilots I mean lots of\h Pilots reaching out talking online\h\h 269 00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:39,000 um personally reaching out to me explaining that\h there are a lot of light in the sky performing in\h\h 270 00:27:39,000 --> 00:27:44,400 ways that they're not familiar with and when I say\h when they're not familiar with there's a lot of a\h\h 271 00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:48,960 lot baked into that right and so we've just talked\h about you basically looking at this guy since you\h\h 272 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:54,900 were 14. uh have you ever seen anything like this\h before nothing like what we're currently seeing\h\h 273 00:27:55,440 --> 00:28:03,300 um I was able to see actually two experiences\h recently or had two experiences uh one was on\h\h 274 00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:10,320 August 9th and the other was on the 15th just\h this year just this year yeah in 2022. uh the\h\h 275 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:16,380 first one we were on our way to LAX and my fo who\h had actually seen it before my co-pilot who had\h\h 276 00:28:16,380 --> 00:28:20,160 actually seen it before was telling me hey you\h know I saw these lights they are down the right\h\h 277 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:25,680 hand corner of the Big Dipper and they were moving\h in unusual ways and okay that's interesting and\h\h 278 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:31,320 then he goes oh there they are take a look and we\h sat there and watched these things for about three\h\h 279 00:28:31,320 --> 00:28:35,700 hours or more until the point we got we actually\h got bored with it it was like ah they're still\h\h 280 00:28:35,700 --> 00:28:40,440 out there and all the other aircraft were talking\h on a frequency about it as well and so there was\h\h 281 00:28:40,440 --> 00:28:46,860 a lot of chatter on uh air-to-air frequency which\h is 23.45 for us when we're out over the Pacific um\h\h 282 00:28:46,860 --> 00:28:51,600 a lot of chatter about it yeah are you guys seeing\h what we're seeing yet yeah matter of factors right\h\h 283 00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:57,120 up there in the lower right hand corner of the\h Big Dipper so there was a lot of a lot of better\h\h 284 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:03,660 about it for sure anything on the radar no and uh\h obviously people ask them yeah well did you see\h\h 285 00:29:03,660 --> 00:29:10,260 anything on radar well no these were very high in\h the atmosphere and uh radar only paints up to like\h\h 286 00:29:10,260 --> 00:29:15,780 320 miles maximum in front of you and if it's a\h smaller object it's not going to pick it up anyway\h\h 287 00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:22,080 um and especially if it if it's not in the\h atmosphere it's not going to pick it up and\h\h 288 00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:28,140 there's no eight was there any ATC control are you\h kind of in between no we're out over the middle of\h\h 289 00:29:28,140 --> 00:29:33,900 the Pacific the only thing we have is if is our\h what they call cpdoc the pilot controller link\h\h 290 00:29:33,900 --> 00:29:39,420 and then uh that's via satellite and that's\h we just type and talk to them and the other\h\h 291 00:29:39,420 --> 00:29:47,520 thing is HF radio which we use as a backup got it\h okay so in what altitude were you at we're at 39\h\h 292 00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:51,420 000 feet okay so you're pretty much up there there\h might be a little bit of traffic above you but\h\h 293 00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:55,080 um not too much and they'd be pretty big and\h pretty recognizable I would imagine at normal\h\h 294 00:29:55,080 --> 00:30:00,960 altitudes yeah um so would you would you estimate\h that and so how what would you describe you're\h\h 295 00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:05,460 just seeing lights then they were just like point\h point lights basically there were lights that\h\h 296 00:30:05,460 --> 00:30:10,740 would come on and get very bright brighter than\h any of the Stars really or any of the planets\h\h 297 00:30:10,740 --> 00:30:15,540 that are there like twice as bright like I would\h say so it's kind of like somebody almost pointing\h\h 298 00:30:15,540 --> 00:30:21,720 a spotlight but the thing is they're so far away\h um and people say well it was a reflection from\h\h 299 00:30:21,720 --> 00:30:27,000 the Sun I've seen satellites that reflect the Sun\h and usually when they're rotating is fairly fast\h\h 300 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,860 and you can still see the satellite afterwards\h this was something that was very unique from the\h\h 301 00:30:31,860 --> 00:30:37,260 standpoint we would see it it would move it seemed\h like there were several objects actually we'd see\h\h 302 00:30:37,260 --> 00:30:43,020 it in moving a linear type of fashion it'd get\h very bright and it would kind of curve like it\h\h 303 00:30:43,020 --> 00:30:48,780 was curving up or curving down and then it would\h disappear and it wasn't like a satellite that\h\h 304 00:30:48,780 --> 00:30:55,740 would dim gradually it would be off and that's\h the difference because when I was no over the\h\h 305 00:30:55,740 --> 00:31:00,360 years observing satellites you could see them\h as they're tracking across the sky even after\h\h 306 00:31:01,200 --> 00:31:06,300 the sun wasn't blending on you could still see\h him moving across the sky and I realized that\h\h 307 00:31:06,300 --> 00:31:10,440 there's four thousand you know startling\h satellites up there but a satellite will\h\h 308 00:31:10,440 --> 00:31:15,900 move in a linear fashion it won't curve and\h it won't have the type of light that this had\h\h 309 00:31:16,860 --> 00:31:23,940 um this also was to the north of us down below the\h right hand side of the Big Dipper now when you see\h\h 310 00:31:23,940 --> 00:31:29,700 satellites usually it's during sunrise or Sunset\h it's reflecting the sunlight off the solar panel\h\h 311 00:31:30,420 --> 00:31:37,500 uh this was to the north so this was not during\h sunrise or sunset this was something that if it\h\h 312 00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:42,240 was reflecting the sun would have to be way out\h in space in order to reflect the Sun that we could\h\h 313 00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,640 see it hmm interesting so you you think that these\h were objects that were producing their own light\h\h 314 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:52,080 and not reflecting sunlight that's\h that's what your assessment is of\h\h 315 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:55,740 those that would be my best assessment on it\h do you think it was like a repulsion system\h\h 316 00:31:57,120 --> 00:32:01,740 um we had one guy he came out a traditional\h propulsion system perhaps I should say well we\h\h 317 00:32:01,740 --> 00:32:08,700 had one guy said well I well I think they're high\h altitude drones well first of all a high altitude\h\h 318 00:32:08,700 --> 00:32:17,460 drone would have to have some type of propulsion\h system that would be still air breathing even if\h\h 319 00:32:17,460 --> 00:32:23,760 unless it's a spacecraft and in a spacecraft it\h wouldn't have a propulsion system like that uh if\h\h 320 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:28,860 it was like you you're I think you're referring\h to like an afterburner or something no some kind\h\h 321 00:32:28,860 --> 00:32:36,120 of Rocket you know no no no and and also they\h wouldn't be doing the same thing for over three\h\h 322 00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:40,440 hours so yeah the same area let's talk about that\h so you would see you'd be flying you see the Big\h\h 323 00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:46,020 Dipper and just to the right of the bottom\h left star bottom right hand star bottom right\h\h 324 00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:50,880 hand side just to the right of that you're seeing\h objects and it looks like it's going left to right 325 00:32:51,540 --> 00:33:00,060 that was what was also interesting about it it\h would move right to left left to right up to down\h\h 326 00:33:00,060 --> 00:33:04,740 and they're coming from all over the place right\h and it was just in a specific area and it wasn't\h\h 327 00:33:04,740 --> 00:33:12,900 like it was um you know I mean any Rhyme or Reason\h to it that's the other thing about satellite see\h\h 328 00:33:12,900 --> 00:33:22,560 have a Cadence one two three light one two three\h dim and these didn't have any Cadence to them it\h\h 329 00:33:22,560 --> 00:33:26,940 would come on whenever they wanted to kind of\h and then go away whenever they wanted to it\h\h 330 00:33:26,940 --> 00:33:33,120 was really bizarre incredible so straight line\h random directions and then a j-hook essentially\h\h 331 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,980 you would start doing a hook and then go out and\h then it would instantly Fade Out at that point and\h\h 332 00:33:37,980 --> 00:33:42,060 when it started this it was essentially getting\h brighter in some sense I think you talked about\h\h 333 00:33:42,060 --> 00:33:47,460 it getting in brighter is that correct yeah was it\h only brighter in a certain direction or was there\h\h 334 00:33:47,460 --> 00:33:53,760 any consistency to no variation a lot of times\h the object would appear stationary it would come\h\h 335 00:33:53,760 --> 00:33:59,880 on bright and then you would see it move really\h yeah so it was very unusual compared to what we\h\h 336 00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:04,980 would usually see and and that's the one thing\h that really got most of the people that I've\h\h 337 00:34:04,980 --> 00:34:10,620 talked to that have seen these things most of our\h Pilots uh say that that's what gets them about it\h\h 338 00:34:10,620 --> 00:34:16,740 it's not the usual type of anomaly that we would\h see and you'd be able to explain away as being a\h\h 339 00:34:16,740 --> 00:34:21,900 satellite a missile or whatever it may be you\h know high altitude drawings no it doesn't have\h\h 340 00:34:21,900 --> 00:34:27,900 any type of characteristic that would belong\h to any of those what do you think it is then\h\h 341 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:35,280 I have no idea it's a UAP yeah um I wish I\h knew because uh you know I could answer a\h\h 342 00:34:35,280 --> 00:34:41,580 lot of people's questions about it but uh it\h uh definitely is unusual and it definitely I\h\h 343 00:34:41,580 --> 00:34:47,580 this is what really intrigues me is a scientific\h uh aspect of it and a technological aspect of it\h\h 344 00:34:48,900 --> 00:34:57,240 what is it and why is it here or where'd it\h come from if you're moving on to the deeper\h\h 345 00:34:57,240 --> 00:35:01,440 questions now I think do you think your\h earlier experience kind of helped you you\h\h 346 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:09,960 know move past the real not real a little bit\h faster um yes in the way of uh believing uh\h\h 347 00:35:10,860 --> 00:35:19,140 yes you know whether or not it's interdimensional\h whether it's extraterrestrial whether it's time\h\h 348 00:35:19,140 --> 00:35:25,200 travel I don't know but I can tell you one\h thing uh especially what we saw in 2005 is\h\h 349 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:33,960 nothing that we have which that opens up your mind\h and unfortunately you know that right after that\h\h 350 00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:38,940 happened we didn't talk to many people about it\h because every time we did we'd just get a smirk\h\h 351 00:35:38,940 --> 00:35:47,040 uh somebody and it's just like okay you know there\h was a show on TV uh you know I know what I saw and\h\h 352 00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:52,020 that's basically there were three of us there and\h another aircraft we know what we saw yeah and it\h\h 353 00:35:52,020 --> 00:35:57,720 was something that wasn't a massive hallucination\h it wasn't satellites it wasn't anything that could\h\h 354 00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:03,240 be a tribute attributed to anything that\h we had technologically at that time and\h\h 355 00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:10,080 people say oh well we could be back engineering\h things that we got back in 1947 during Roswell\h\h 356 00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:16,440 well it still sounds like a pretty fascinating\h story to me yeah yeah um and that's that's\h\h 357 00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:22,140 possible and that's the interesting thing about\h this the realm of possibilities on this and\h\h 358 00:36:22,680 --> 00:36:29,100 being able to open your mind to any of these and\h and I like myself not leaning toward any one of\h\h 359 00:36:29,100 --> 00:36:35,220 them because I like looking at each one and and\h the technical and scientific possibilities of each\h\h 360 00:36:35,220 --> 00:36:41,640 different thing it may be yeah yeah do you think\h we've been held back in some sense by our own oh\h\h 361 00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:47,700 absolutely skepticism really yeah I think we've\h been held back by the government up to this point\h\h 362 00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:53,640 um the cat's out of the bag now so they're\h they're kind of like oh yeah well these things\h\h 363 00:36:53,640 --> 00:37:01,560 exist as you well know that kind of happened\h to you right um but up to this point they've\h\h 364 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:06,300 been very tight-lipped about it because if you\h think about it you know this could be something\h\h 365 00:37:06,300 --> 00:37:11,580 that is one of the most important things to\h happen in humanity if it is extraterrestrial\h\h 366 00:37:11,580 --> 00:37:16,860 and we're making contact it would be the absolute\h most important thing that happened in humanity\h\h 367 00:37:17,760 --> 00:37:22,680 so so we should better look into it yeah I\h think so that's a good idea you know ignore\h\h 368 00:37:22,680 --> 00:37:26,760 it yeah that's a good idea and that's one of the\h reasons that that I'm coming forward with it too\h\h 369 00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:31,560 besides the aviation safety standpoint of it you\h know are they under intelligent control are they\h\h 370 00:37:31,560 --> 00:37:36,720 going to be a hazard to us or are they something\h that we should be concerned about it's something\h\h 371 00:37:36,720 --> 00:37:42,540 that's going to drop from the sky and like you\h know off the coast here of of California the\h\h 372 00:37:42,540 --> 00:37:50,880 the Tic Tac videos you know where yeah are these\h things gonna create a conflict with the aircraft\h\h 373 00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:56,100 are they something that we should be concerned\h about commercially there's obviously they don't\h\h 374 00:37:56,100 --> 00:38:01,260 show up on radar they do show up on IR but we\h don't have IR and Commercial aircraft obviously\h\h 375 00:38:01,260 --> 00:38:04,920 think about what trouble that could cause even if\h you just don't acknowledge it right if we know we\h\h 376 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:09,240 have objects in our airspace doing things I mean\h what about the opportunity for miscommunication\h\h 377 00:38:09,240 --> 00:38:13,080 with another Nation right we think it's them\h versus something else because we're pretending\h\h 378 00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:19,140 that there isn't a third party absolutely\h absolutely I don't think that this is a a\h\h 379 00:38:20,040 --> 00:38:25,440 problem or situation that the United States alone\h can necessarily resolve I don't think you know any\h\h 380 00:38:25,440 --> 00:38:30,360 one nation really has the moral authority to do\h that it really has to be you know a global effort\h\h 381 00:38:30,360 --> 00:38:36,180 looking into this to say that hey we've we've\h looked at the options we we understand that this\h\h 382 00:38:36,180 --> 00:38:40,260 is us and we're looking to see what else is out\h there yeah there's been a lot of sightings over\h\h 383 00:38:40,260 --> 00:38:47,220 China over Russia over the U.S uh in South America\h they're fairly open about it so they published a\h\h 384 00:38:47,220 --> 00:38:53,940 lot of the UAP types of videos and uh I think\h that as we get more open about it and people\h\h 385 00:38:53,940 --> 00:39:00,180 become more accepting on the idea that maybe we\h aren't alone that maybe we do have some type of\h\h 386 00:39:00,180 --> 00:39:06,120 other entity out there I think that there's going\h to be a lot more revealed slowly because I can't\h\h 387 00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,200 do it all at once and that's obvious but slowly\h I think they're going to reveal things and and\h\h 388 00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:14,880 the door will open and people go oh okay that's\h what it's all about what do you think is going to\h\h 389 00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:19,740 happen to just Humanity I mean where do you think\h we go with that information hopefully we get the\h\h 390 00:39:21,480 --> 00:39:29,160 um information to use that's to our benefit um\h and we can do things like you know perpetual\h\h 391 00:39:29,160 --> 00:39:35,880 motion or perpetual energy we can solve a lot of\h our problems and maybe we can even learn from them\h\h 392 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:41,400 how not to have conflicts with each other as\h well and probably the most valuable thing we\h\h 393 00:39:41,400 --> 00:39:46,200 could learn right you know uh Ronald Reagan\h said you know what would happen if basically\h\h 394 00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:55,320 there was another uh entity out there that we all\h band together as a world against or or actually\h\h 395 00:39:56,040 --> 00:40:02,640 as a people come together and see that we\h are really one people against something else\h\h 396 00:40:03,240 --> 00:40:09,780 um and this is the other thing that that people\h have been saying well maybe this is some U.S\h\h 397 00:40:09,780 --> 00:40:16,560 government ploy to make everybody think that\h there is some type of force out there that we\h\h 398 00:40:16,560 --> 00:40:20,700 all have to be worried about well believe me\h these things have been coming for thousands of\h\h 399 00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:24,960 years they haven't done anything yet so why would\h they do something now I understand that they're\h\h 400 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:28,680 probably interested in our nuclear technology\h because it seems like they're showing up around\h\h 401 00:40:28,680 --> 00:40:35,040 nuclear aircraft carrier groups and around nuclear\h sites and whatever uh so I I know they're probably\h\h 402 00:40:35,040 --> 00:40:40,860 interested in that seems like a prudent measure\h yeah you don't think they're they're hostile\h\h 403 00:40:40,860 --> 00:40:47,220 or a threat necessarily outside of um you know\h normal Aviation concerns and knowing your airspace\h\h 404 00:40:47,880 --> 00:40:52,920 personally I don't because they've had a lot\h of time to do something at this point in time\h\h 405 00:40:52,920 --> 00:40:59,520 if uh if you want to stop a Dam from breaking you\h take care of it real early on you don't wait until\h\h 406 00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:04,080 there's a huge crack down the center and right now\h we have a huge crack down the center of this thing\h\h 407 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:14,520 and the the people uh in in the world basically\h are so I I don't want to say in tune Now with\h\h 408 00:41:14,520 --> 00:41:22,200 uh the possibility UFOs but they're much more uh\h educated on it and I think that the door is slowly\h\h 409 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:26,580 opening and thousands of years ago people wouldn't\h understand it and they would think they're Gods\h\h 410 00:41:26,580 --> 00:41:31,980 and and whatever I think now the crack has opened\h up enough that people might start understanding it\h\h 411 00:41:31,980 --> 00:41:38,520 and hopefully hopefully they wouldn't uh think\h of them as being something that's malevolent\h\h 412 00:41:39,840 --> 00:41:45,780 so you were seeing these you guys were\h seeing these J hook patterns out there which\h\h 413 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:52,680 um so that's kind of like half of a half of a\h racetrack pattern which I've described before\h\h 414 00:41:52,680 --> 00:42:00,900 as what we've been seeing on the East Coast um\h we had Mark Halsey Captain Mark Halsey uh on here\h\h 415 00:42:00,900 --> 00:42:06,960 recently and he was describing racetrack patterns\h as well over the continental United States\h\h 416 00:42:08,280 --> 00:42:13,140 um and a j is essentially a half of a half\h of half of one of those so do you think\h\h 417 00:42:13,140 --> 00:42:17,340 maybe this is the same type of pattern you're\h perhaps seeing it either from a different angle\h\h 418 00:42:17,340 --> 00:42:23,040 or something actually the description sounds\h almost identical to what we've been seeing and\h\h 419 00:42:23,700 --> 00:42:31,860 that to me is interesting so why the J why not a\h full race track and why does it start to to make\h\h 420 00:42:31,860 --> 00:42:38,280 the turn and then the light go out so that's\h kind of something that that doesn't make a lot\h\h 421 00:42:38,280 --> 00:42:43,080 of sense to me and the fact that they're not\h coming from any specific Direction they come\h\h 422 00:42:43,080 --> 00:42:48,600 from all kinds of directions but they all have the\h same Tendencies or characteristics to where they\h\h 423 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:54,240 as they light up to get bright and they move and\h then they start to make the hook and then they\h\h 424 00:42:54,240 --> 00:43:02,340 disappear so I have no clue to tell you the truth\h yeah so would you would you define it as like a\h\h 425 00:43:02,340 --> 00:43:06,660 j-hope pattern I mean that's what that's what it\h looks like right essentially A J hook which you\h\h 426 00:43:06,660 --> 00:43:12,420 know is half of a yeah you know racetrack pattern\h so you could call it that that's very interesting\h\h 427 00:43:12,420 --> 00:43:16,980 that it came off do you think it could be any type\h of media or maybe coming like kind of towards your\h\h 428 00:43:16,980 --> 00:43:22,260 line of vision no I've even seen that to where\h it Spooks me coming at the airplane like I hope\h\h 429 00:43:22,260 --> 00:43:29,100 that goes over the top of us um but no nothing\h like that and again a meteor is going to move in\h\h 430 00:43:29,100 --> 00:43:33,900 a linear type of fashion not that it's going to\h be propelled from side to side so it's not going\h\h 431 00:43:33,900 --> 00:43:40,800 to move in a different direction other than just\h literal so we have this unknown activity occurring\h\h 432 00:43:41,400 --> 00:43:47,940 Pilots across the United States you know perhaps\h further I haven't spoken to too many International\h\h 433 00:43:47,940 --> 00:43:51,660 Pilots but I've certainly heard it happening\h over you know the Atlantic and the Pacific\h\h 434 00:43:52,980 --> 00:43:59,880 um doesn't this seem like something that\h as a a you know a lifelong Aviator as\h\h 435 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:06,120 the captain of this vessel with you know\h 200 souls or however many Souls on board\h\h 436 00:44:06,900 --> 00:44:11,460 you know as a fighter pilot I knew that you know\h we had to be very considerate about where we're\h\h 437 00:44:11,460 --> 00:44:15,540 putting our bombs and stuff but as a commercial\h airliner you've got all those Souls on board and\h\h 438 00:44:15,540 --> 00:44:20,280 you guys go through a lot of work to make sure\h that uh those customers are safe right right\h\h 439 00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:26,280 that's our first and foremost priority is the\h safety of the the aircraft crew and passengers not\h\h 440 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:33,780 necessarily in that order but uh the thing that\h concerns me about this is since it is an unknown\h\h 441 00:44:35,340 --> 00:44:43,260 um how can that possibly be a a hazard to Aviation\h safety could it be a hazard to Aviation safety\h\h 442 00:44:44,340 --> 00:44:50,100 um are we looking at something that in the future\h is going to become different more aggressive\h\h 443 00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:57,600 and how can we be prepared for that and that's\h where I come in on this and as a pilot I'm kind\h\h 444 00:44:57,600 --> 00:45:08,160 of stepping out on a limb uh to kind of introduce\h this into the Norms of reality but I want to make\h\h 445 00:45:08,160 --> 00:45:15,180 sure that there is some way in place that we can\h get more information and that we can possibly\h\h 446 00:45:15,180 --> 00:45:24,300 prepare for some type of incident or some type\h of of future interaction with these uh uaps to\h\h 447 00:45:24,300 --> 00:45:30,000 where we'll be able to I at least have some idea\h what they're doing where they're going and what\h\h 448 00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:36,360 type of of Maneuvers they'll be doing yeah that's\h a great point so you know one of the efforts I've\h\h 449 00:45:36,360 --> 00:45:43,080 been engaged in is with the American Institute\h of Aeronautics and astronautics or the AIA and\h\h 450 00:45:43,080 --> 00:45:46,860 they've they've asked me to help them stand\h up a permanent committee with which to look\h\h 451 00:45:46,860 --> 00:45:52,440 at unidentified Aerospace phenomenon one of the\h activities that we have going on is to do just\h\h 452 00:45:52,440 --> 00:45:59,040 that is to to bring in Pilots uh bring in subject\h matter experts and to start ideating on some of\h\h 453 00:45:59,040 --> 00:46:04,080 the policies and procedures around how we can\h report this and integrate it into our Aviation\h\h 454 00:46:04,080 --> 00:46:10,440 safety Frameworks both on until military Aviation\h and Commercial Aviation general aviation but\h\h 455 00:46:10,440 --> 00:46:14,280 business class Aviation we really need to make\h sure that all those procedures are centralized\h\h 456 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:19,380 and they're consistent and it's all in one spot so\h that we can actually do effective data analysis on\h\h 457 00:46:19,380 --> 00:46:25,260 it and so we're going to be recommending some of\h those those reporting procedures and firing type\h\h 458 00:46:25,260 --> 00:46:30,780 policy changes to some of the organizations that\h have the authority to actually Implement those\h\h 459 00:46:30,780 --> 00:46:37,200 changes such as the FAA NASA and other partners\h that we're looking to work with so I do see that\h\h 460 00:46:37,200 --> 00:46:42,120 there is a path forward to have that that kind\h of critical conversation at the engineering and\h\h 461 00:46:42,120 --> 00:46:48,540 scientific level and this podcast in a sense is\h really a natural evolution of that because I can\h\h 462 00:46:48,540 --> 00:46:52,800 have pilots on like yourself and we can have\h you know just a pilot to Pilot conversation\h\h 463 00:46:52,800 --> 00:46:58,020 and kind of dig into the details in a way that\h perhaps a non-pilot wouldn't know to ask those\h\h 464 00:46:58,020 --> 00:47:03,120 questions and really give you a platform that you\h maybe haven't had in the past to talk about this\h\h 465 00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:07,560 that's perfect and you were asking earlier about\h whether or not we should bring the airlines into\h\h 466 00:47:07,560 --> 00:47:12,060 the into the loop and if we do something like\h that the airlines are going to have to be in\h\h 467 00:47:12,060 --> 00:47:18,120 the loop I think so yeah I think so um because if\h you leave them out of the loop then what's going\h\h 468 00:47:18,120 --> 00:47:23,460 to happen is guys will still feel like they're\h they have the possibility of having retribution\h\h 469 00:47:23,460 --> 00:47:28,080 to reporting from the airlines but if you bring\h the airline into the loop and they say yeah it's\h\h 470 00:47:28,080 --> 00:47:34,080 okay to do that it's going to open The Floodgate\h do you think the airline unions have any role play\h\h 471 00:47:35,160 --> 00:47:42,120 not at this point really really um I don't see\h other than protecting the pilots from it the\h\h 472 00:47:42,120 --> 00:47:47,760 possibility of Retribution from an airline I don't\h see where the air the the Unions would come into\h\h 473 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:55,920 play very much um Airlines usually have what they\h call house rules about involving that airline in\h\h 474 00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:59,940 interviews and that's specifically one of the\h reasons that I haven't mentioned which airline\h\h 475 00:47:59,940 --> 00:48:07,560 I work for is the fact that I am abiding by their\h their house rules in not doing so and if you bring\h\h 476 00:48:07,560 --> 00:48:12,840 the airlines into the loop where you don't have\h that type of uh situation where you don't fuel\h\h 477 00:48:12,840 --> 00:48:19,620 like there'll be retribution to actually speaking\h out you can actually attain a lot more information\h\h 478 00:48:19,620 --> 00:48:27,660 from Pilots now one thing I learned in aviation\h management degree is the fact that your employees\h\h 479 00:48:27,660 --> 00:48:33,180 are your best sounding board for any issues you\h may have with your airline talk to them first\h\h 480 00:48:33,180 --> 00:48:37,080 because they're going to know how to solve the\h problems before some guy in the Head Shed is going\h\h 481 00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:44,640 to and it's along the same lines with this talk\h to the pilots but if the pilots can't come forward\h\h 482 00:48:44,640 --> 00:48:51,480 with their information then you're basically you\h know it's falling on on deaf ears and just wasting\h\h 483 00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:57,060 that opportunity exactly yep makes a lot of sense\h uh do you know any Pilots that you think will we\h\h 484 00:48:57,060 --> 00:49:01,260 could invite on to have this conversation or do\h you think that it's kind of far and few between\h\h 485 00:49:02,220 --> 00:49:07,860 um on this topic you know I I know uh I've talked\h to several of our Pilots so I know a few that that\h\h 486 00:49:07,860 --> 00:49:13,560 might want to come forward um that definitely\h want to see the same things happening that I\h\h 487 00:49:13,560 --> 00:49:20,700 see but on the other hand I don't think that uh a\h lot of the guys are ready for it yet because they\h\h 488 00:49:20,700 --> 00:49:24,840 still feel like the airline's going to be on\h their back about it certainly you know I think\h\h 489 00:49:24,840 --> 00:49:29,040 ultimately you know this isn't necessarily like\h the Pilot's responsibility at the end of the day\h\h 490 00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:36,120 I feel like we're in this position where you know\h uh just really Society itself wasn't really ready\h\h 491 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:39,960 to have this conversation and so we've just kind\h of shouldered the load in the meantime in a sense\h\h 492 00:49:39,960 --> 00:49:45,060 as far as reporting and you know the emotional\h baggage of having your life change and not being\h\h 493 00:49:45,060 --> 00:49:51,240 able to talk about it yeah it's kind of like um\h and like you said the emotional baggage that goes\h\h 494 00:49:51,240 --> 00:49:56,820 along with it if you feel like you have something\h to contribute like some type of information\h\h 495 00:49:56,820 --> 00:50:02,640 but you can't put it out there because of the\h restrictions you have from your employer that\h\h 496 00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:08,940 is not only limiting the source of information\h that can get out there and help mitigate any\h\h 497 00:50:08,940 --> 00:50:15,240 problems with safety but it's also it's it's\h Ashley cutting Society short short on what's\h\h 498 00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:20,220 actually out there and what we're actually seeing\h absolutely yeah doing a disservice absolutely\h\h 499 00:50:20,220 --> 00:50:24,900 maybe I don't know if you could put a number on it\h but like as far as what's been going on recently\h\h 500 00:50:24,900 --> 00:50:29,400 and the pilots that you've been speaking to like\h what percentage have been having haven't seen\h\h 501 00:50:30,540 --> 00:50:38,100 object I can't explain well realize that most of\h the guys that know that I'm working with this uh\h\h 502 00:50:38,100 --> 00:50:42,960 are the ones that contact me so it's kind of\h hard for me to gauge the exact number but I'm\h\h 503 00:50:43,500 --> 00:50:50,820 sure it's a lot yeah um I would say if I had to\h come across and say how many people I've flown\h\h 504 00:50:50,820 --> 00:50:56,340 with that have said oh yeah I've seen something\h um it would say about 40 40 to 50 percent of\h\h 505 00:50:56,340 --> 00:50:59,520 the people I've flown with half the people who've\h flown with have probably seen some mechanics right\h\h 506 00:50:59,520 --> 00:51:07,260 wow that's incredible yeah and it all started uh\h you've been flying since you were 14. yeah with me\h\h 507 00:51:07,260 --> 00:51:12,120 it all started when I was young and I was flying\h out to Catalina Island and I saw a meteorite\h\h 508 00:51:12,120 --> 00:51:16,740 actually fly in front of me and fall in the water\h and you can kind of still see it a little bit when\h\h 509 00:51:16,740 --> 00:51:23,820 and that was spooky to me because I was like okay\h but I was able to explain it hopefully I I didn't\h\h 510 00:51:23,820 --> 00:51:28,920 make a misidentification but you know this thing\h came down in in front of me when I just talked\h\h 511 00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:33,840 to one of the guys that was with me the other day\h and he's still a good friend of mine um and he he\h\h 512 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:38,880 brought that up to me God you remember that that\h was one of the things I really remember in my life\h\h 513 00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:45,240 really and uh the media came out and that's the\h Catalina Island off the west coast of the US where\h\h 514 00:51:45,240 --> 00:51:51,360 David fravor saw the Tic Tac correctly that that's\h why I'm saying yeah hope I didn't misidentify it\h\h 515 00:51:51,360 --> 00:51:56,820 at the time because this was you know back\h in 1978 or something like that really yeah\h\h 516 00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:03,540 um I joke around and say that I think Orville and\h Wilbur Wright signed my my pilot certificate but\h\h 517 00:52:03,540 --> 00:52:10,860 but it was a long time ago and to see that type\h of anomaly back then was really neat I thought\h\h 518 00:52:10,860 --> 00:52:16,140 gosh you know people don't get to see things like\h this um anything else underwater that you've seen\h\h 519 00:52:16,140 --> 00:52:20,760 or heard about well I've heard about a lot of it\h and especially off the coast here of California\h\h 520 00:52:20,760 --> 00:52:26,520 out by Catalina so UAP our unidentified\h Aerospace phenomenon and there's a term Uso 521 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:36,000 so basically something we can't identify under\h the water that's correct and I think typically\h\h 522 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:40,080 you know when we talk about that it's because\h they're moving at speeds that are very quick right\h\h 523 00:52:40,860 --> 00:52:44,580 um they're dipping around underwater in a way that\h even like our missiles and our Torpedoes can't do\h\h 524 00:52:44,580 --> 00:52:49,560 just due to the water friction so somewhat easy\h to recognize if you have the tools well the\h\h 525 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:56,280 interesting thing is that you know they call it I\h think a multi uh Media or multimatter uh ability\h\h 526 00:52:56,280 --> 00:53:03,240 to uh Propel itself so like trans medium like\h Cross Ranch medium yeah different uh yeah fluid\h\h 527 00:53:03,240 --> 00:53:10,500 densities right so if it can Propel itself in air\h then kind of propel itself in water and normally a\h\h 528 00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:16,380 vessel is not made to do that so you know how is\h it able to do that that's very interesting yeah\h\h 529 00:53:16,980 --> 00:53:23,640 um to me and no I haven't seen one of those I\h would love to say I I have or I will but no I\h\h 530 00:53:23,640 --> 00:53:31,140 haven't and uh it's to me it's very interesting\h that the trans medium type of propulsion system\h\h 531 00:53:31,140 --> 00:53:37,440 yeah that could be enabled on these things or\h just boggles my mind you're cool do you have\h\h 532 00:53:37,440 --> 00:53:43,920 any questions for me about any of my experiences\h yeah actually I do so when you were looking uh at\h\h 533 00:53:43,920 --> 00:53:50,940 the through the IR correct sure um if you were\h looking on on the floor did you see any heat\h\h 534 00:53:50,940 --> 00:53:56,280 signature other than the object itself any type of\h propulsion system no there is no you know normally\h\h 535 00:53:56,280 --> 00:54:01,380 what we would see coming out of a back of an\h object is a big Distortion I mean it's very clear\h\h 536 00:54:01,380 --> 00:54:05,400 you can actually see depending on how close you\h are you can actually see the shock waves inside\h\h 537 00:54:05,400 --> 00:54:10,620 the um the exhaust plume and if you count those\h you can actually typically count the Mach number\h\h 538 00:54:10,620 --> 00:54:17,460 of the exhaust uh plumes kind of like a fun little\h thing but very a lot of fidelity to it but when we\h\h 539 00:54:17,460 --> 00:54:24,060 were looking at these objects on our FLIR um no\h it was you it was only really energy coming from\h\h 540 00:54:25,020 --> 00:54:29,100 a point source more or less now the\h gimbal was a little bit different that was\h\h 541 00:54:29,100 --> 00:54:33,000 you know a larger object but typically what we\h would see just appears like a point source of\h\h 542 00:54:33,000 --> 00:54:39,240 ir energy interesting so if there's no propulsion\h associated with what kind of speeds was it getting\h\h 543 00:54:39,240 --> 00:54:45,120 so yeah you know they would be stationary but then\h they would also accelerate and hang out at 0.6 or\h\h 544 00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:50,040 0.8 Mock and they'd be doing that all the time if\h a lot of times it's a little difficult if you look\h\h 545 00:54:50,040 --> 00:54:53,700 at it just at a slice you go well that's clearly\h a baboon because it's just floating there and then\h\h 546 00:54:53,700 --> 00:54:58,680 as you see it going at 0.8 Mach it's like well\h okay now I'm a bit more confused and then it does\h\h 547 00:54:58,680 --> 00:55:04,740 that for several hours it becomes more confusing\h but no lifting surfaces um we weren't able to make\h\h 548 00:55:04,740 --> 00:55:11,580 out anything like that no no you know no rotors\h no no uh exhaust plume coming out so really there\h\h 549 00:55:11,580 --> 00:55:15,900 was nothing to kind of indicate that there was\h something holding it in air really that we could\h\h 550 00:55:15,900 --> 00:55:21,240 tell with our tools that we had so in some type\h of anti-gravitational Technology you would think\h\h 551 00:55:21,240 --> 00:55:27,540 unknown frankly I mean it's just unknown one of\h the things that we're doing at the the aiaa is\h\h 552 00:55:27,540 --> 00:55:33,780 working on building a sensing document that we'll\h use to promulgate different learnings about what\h\h 553 00:55:33,780 --> 00:55:39,540 sensors are useful what are not what works what\h doesn't where information is questions we have\h\h 554 00:55:39,540 --> 00:55:43,200 and we're going to look to promulgate that out\h to the rest of the Aerospace industry so we can\h\h 555 00:55:43,200 --> 00:55:49,800 start further refining our sensors and our and our\h analysis specifically for this topic in a new way\h\h 556 00:55:49,800 --> 00:55:56,760 right most of the videos that the US military has\h come out with I I have not really seen any type\h\h 557 00:55:56,760 --> 00:56:02,400 of propulsion system on the IR now you've seen\h like the fuzzy image around it like it's some\h\h 558 00:56:02,400 --> 00:56:09,300 type of gravitational field or something like that\h but no type of propulsion system which to me is\h\h 559 00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:16,500 very interesting because uaps that we're seeing I\h had some people say oh well they're Jets like you\h\h 560 00:56:16,500 --> 00:56:22,560 were talking about at high altitude or something\h but the fact is why would the jet come on make a\h\h 561 00:56:22,560 --> 00:56:27,420 turn and then go off why what how long did that\h happen for three and a half hours yeah that's\h\h 562 00:56:27,420 --> 00:56:32,280 the other thing so they just had a stream of jets\h you know yeah going every which direction yeah and\h\h 563 00:56:32,280 --> 00:56:40,020 and that's the one thing that interests me the\h most most is the propulsion systems of these um\h\h 564 00:56:40,620 --> 00:56:49,440 and what can we learn from it is it you know what\h type of Technology could we possibly have where we\h\h 565 00:56:49,440 --> 00:56:54,960 would be able to see these because obviously\h like I said we don't have IR capabilities in\h\h 566 00:56:54,960 --> 00:56:59,400 our aircraft well do we need to get something\h like this to where we might be able to see them\h\h 567 00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:07,260 um be used to just Gathering data on every flight\h right exactly um how can we gather data for this\h\h 568 00:57:07,260 --> 00:57:16,980 how can we do it without uh being intrusive\h on safety and and uh and uh with uh Airlines\h\h 569 00:57:16,980 --> 00:57:22,380 blessings or with the other the military's\h blessings on this because the one big thing\h\h 570 00:57:22,380 --> 00:57:28,560 I think that we have to make sure that people\h understand is that this does not this is personal\h\h 571 00:57:28,560 --> 00:57:33,960 like you said pilot to Pilot this does not involve\h any military disinformation this doesn't involve\h\h 572 00:57:33,960 --> 00:57:39,780 someone saying oh you've got to say this or don't\h say that it doesn't involve Men In Black uh what\h\h 573 00:57:39,780 --> 00:57:47,640 it does involve is Aviation safety and it involves\h the the willingness of people to come forward and\h\h 574 00:57:47,640 --> 00:57:51,900 make sure that we're safe when we're flying the\h skies we're just doing this ourselves taking\h\h 575 00:57:51,900 --> 00:57:57,360 matters into our own hands absolutely someone\h has to do it absolutely awesome Chris thank you\h\h 576 00:57:57,360 --> 00:58:01,680 so much for coming again today this is thank\h you and thank you for actually taking a stand\h\h 577 00:58:01,680 --> 00:58:06,420 and having The Bravery to speak about this and\h what thank you very much for allowing me to do it\h\h 578 00:58:07,080 --> 00:58:11,460 um I just want to make sure that you know if you\h have any concerns in the future whether whatever\h\h 579 00:58:11,460 --> 00:58:18,300 that you give me a call because I I'll you know\h I'm going to continue to take this stance and I've\h\h 580 00:58:18,300 --> 00:58:24,780 been tear in there you're you're on board you want\h to see see this to the end huh awesome you know\h\h 581 00:58:24,780 --> 00:58:30,240 it's kind of like Aviation like a disease once it\h gets in your bloodstream it doesn't get out and\h\h 582 00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:37,200 the more I get involved with it more interested\h I get and the more I want to you know she it's a\h\h 583 00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:48,840 it's a an anomaly and it's a oh how would you say\h it um pretty much it's something that I've gained\h\h 584 00:58:48,840 --> 00:58:53,820 interest in I want to gain the knowledge I want\h to get the scientific answers to what's going\h\h 585 00:58:53,820 --> 00:59:00,120 on because I've always loved science I've just\h been that type of person and I just am curious\h\h 586 00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:08,460 about what the heck it is and uh it it just to\h me I'm excited about it I'm excited to be able\h\h 587 00:59:08,460 --> 00:59:15,240 to uh be part of it and I'm excited to be able to\h spread the information I have and hopefully make\h\h 588 00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:19,380 someone else excited about it awesome man that's\h incredible and I agree with you I think the more\h\h 589 00:59:19,380 --> 00:59:23,220 people that look at this and talk about it and\h actually consider it getting over that laughter\h\h 590 00:59:23,220 --> 00:59:28,380 barrier I think the more people are gonna do\h exactly what you just did and just realize how\h\h
