1 00:00:07,760 --> 00:00:13,760 this is need to know real talk about\h the reality of unidentified aerial\h\h 2 00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:20,720 phenomenon from australia ross\h coltart from the us bryce zabal 3 00:00:23,040 --> 00:00:27,840 well folks let me welcome all our listeners\h and viewers to the 10th episode of need to know\h\h 4 00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:32,240 you know we ran this idea up the flagpole last\h december on the fourth anniversary of the new\h\h 5 00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:38,880 york times reporting of the uap issue we're still\h here our idea then as it remains today is to treat\h\h 6 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:44,880 our listeners like their time is valuable and to\h give you a 45 minute briefing on a regular basis\h\h 7 00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,760 we've done shows about what's going on right now\h we've delved into the hidden history of the issue\h\h 8 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,840 and while we don't pretend to know what the\h ultimate answer is yet we do know enough\h\h 9 00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,720 to say that governments have for decades been\h telling people nothing to see here while they\h\h 10 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:05,440 were taking this issue very very seriously let me\h bring in the man down under ross coldheart ross\h\h 11 00:01:06,080 --> 00:01:10,720 every show for me feels like we are riding\h a tiger into a very dense jungle it scares\h\h 12 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,640 the hell out of me sometimes but i know\h that letting go is just not an option\h\h 13 00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:20,640 look i agree with you it's a complex issue this\h whole subject matter and this is why what i think\h\h 14 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:26,640 we're doing here on need to know really matters\h bryce because ultimately i'm trying to talk to the\h\h 15 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:32,320 person who if i was sitting in a bar in washington\h dc and they asked me what's all this stuff about\h\h 16 00:01:32,320 --> 00:01:40,000 uaps i'd tell them to listen to in need to know\h to ntk so this week my friend what we're looking\h\h 17 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:50,080 at is do no harm the threat narrative is there\h in modern ufology an argument that whatever the\h\h 18 00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:58,720 phenomenon is it's benign that it's no threat to\h humanity or is it as summer postulating a threat\h\h 19 00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:03,920 what's the evidence i thought today would be a\h good day to do a bit of a dig into that area it's\h\h 20 00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:10,240 a great day to do it and honestly if there's just\h no other issue that seems to divide the ufological\h\h 21 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:14,320 community you got people on one side of the\h spectrum and the other which we'll all get into\h\h 22 00:02:14,880 --> 00:02:19,760 uh soon uh you know i think right now let's\h let's do what we talked about we want to bring in\h\h 23 00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:25,920 our producer of need to know rich johnson our man\h in las vegas rich thanks for coming in you've been\h\h 24 00:02:25,920 --> 00:02:32,000 with us from the beginning for all 10 of these\h and even before so first of all thank you and\h\h 25 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:37,440 thank you for including me on this project i'm in\h las vegas which is a great place to be for this\h\h 26 00:02:37,440 --> 00:02:44,160 subject if if you ask most uh people around the\h world to sort of give us ground zero of ufology\h\h 27 00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:49,600 i mean maybe they'd say roswell but for a lot\h of people on the inside they'd say las vegas\h\h 28 00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,400 indeed we're just down this road well a very long\h road from area 51 the nevada test and training\h\h 29 00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,920 range run by the u.s air force now one source says\h it's a detachment of edwards air force base which\h\h 30 00:03:01,920 --> 00:03:07,360 is 400 miles away another one says it's nellis\h about 100 miles away right here in las vegas but\h\h 31 00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:14,320 the nttr is built as the largest contiguous air\h and ground space available for peacetime military\h\h 32 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:19,600 operations in the free world that is the uh\h the public line and they're sticking to it\h\h 33 00:03:19,600 --> 00:03:27,120 and within it of course is the subsection we all\h love to call area 51. what's with all the areas\h\h 34 00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:32,000 by the way are there i mean literally is the\h map divided up out there yeah one of the maps i\h\h 35 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,480 found and you know they're not a lot of them there\h are all kinds of little areas at nttr i don't\h\h 36 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:43,600 think there are a full 51 of them but i found you\h know area one all the way up to area 30 around the\h\h 37 00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:50,080 uh the yucca mountains and then in the northeast\h corner up against groom lake a dry lake bed there\h\h 38 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:59,040 is according to a map or two area 51. closest i've\h ever been is up highway 95 you can see hundreds if\h\h 39 00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:04,720 not thousands of these quonset hut style buildings\h that store munitions part of creech air force base\h\h 40 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,680 but area 51 of course is way way beyond the\h horizon of u.s 95. it it's so good to know\h\h 41 00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:19,760 rich that you live in las vegas because when the\h tr-3b the the secret ufo is found inside area 51\h\h 42 00:04:19,760 --> 00:04:27,840 bryce and i and all our families in fact all our\h friends can come and stay at your place uh yeah\h\h 43 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:35,760 rich you're a journalist as well with uh many many\h great credits and and obviously las vegas is also\h\h 44 00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:41,840 the home of george knapp who's not only a friend\h of the show i guess but also just one of the top\h\h 45 00:04:41,840 --> 00:04:46,480 investigative reporters in this subject forever\h do you uh have you watched him on television when\h\h 46 00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:51,280 he does this local news as well i have seen him\h once in a while he retired a couple of years ago\h\h 47 00:04:51,280 --> 00:04:56,480 and they had quite the send-off for him because it\h came around the same time as the 30th anniversary\h\h 48 00:04:56,480 --> 00:05:02,880 of his landmark 1989 interview of bob lazar\h who alleged the potential link between area 51\h\h 49 00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:10,560 and aliens and klas tv became the first mainstream\h media outlet to report this allegation the idea\h\h 50 00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:16,880 of area 51's covert mission was out there and of\h course it's still out there no no i was going to\h\h 51 00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:21,600 say and of course there was just recently a lot\h of publicity about area 51 there was some crazy\h\h 52 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:28,160 ideas do you want to talk about that storm area\h 51 the foolish notion that a huge mass of people\h\h 53 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:33,040 would be able to overwhelm the air force mps\h and force their way on the base and get up to\h\h 54 00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:40,160 area 51 and find the truth uh that morphed\h into a rock concert called alien stock all\h\h 55 00:05:40,160 --> 00:05:45,200 things extraterrestrial in the tiny town of\h rachel nevada which is pretty much just a\h\h 56 00:05:45,200 --> 00:05:51,040 a restaurant in a motel that whole thing\h fell apart they had an alternative concert\h\h 57 00:05:51,600 --> 00:05:56,880 lawsuits ensued about a year ago everybody\h settled up money exchanged hands and it all\h\h 58 00:05:56,880 --> 00:06:01,760 got sealed up the records got sealed about\h the only winner of the time was a woman named\h\h 59 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:07,360 connie west the owner of the the only motel\h in rachel and when it came time for area 51\h\h 60 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,000 the storm area 51 not 150 people showed up at the\h two gates at nttr not a big challenge for the mps\h\h 61 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:22,560 i i think the interesting thing about area 51\h is that it's a physical symbol of the mystery\h\h 62 00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:29,840 because for years we've known that there is the\h secret facility where allegedly uap technology is\h\h 63 00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:35,920 either being tested or back engineered and this\h is what the fundamental purpose of need to know\h\h 64 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:42,240 is all about we're in we're inquiring into that\h mystery and trying to get behind it so thanks\h\h 65 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:47,120 very much for that rich we'll we'll come back\h to staying at your place in area 51 another time\h\h 66 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:54,000 what i think we need to talk about is this week's\h news and one of the most important events that\h\h 67 00:06:54,000 --> 00:07:00,080 happened this week was our friend john greenwald\h from the black vault website who does so much good\h\h 68 00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:10,400 foi research he obtained the redacted classified\h version of the uap report that was provided\h\h 69 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:18,320 to congress on 25th of june last year this was\h the preliminary report on uaps and a public\h\h 70 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:23,360 version had been released which was about nine\h pages which really didn't say very much at all\h\h 71 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:28,640 but what john greenwald did with great\h effect was obtain a slightly longer report\h\h 72 00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:36,400 which was the uh redacted uh as released\h classified version of the uap report and\h\h 73 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:42,320 it it had some interesting new revelations not a\h huge amount but interesting nonetheless you know\h\h 74 00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,280 ross what made what it raised as a question\h for me is i'm looking over this thing saying\h\h 75 00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:52,720 okay if it was supposed to be classified and\h it went to the senators and the congress people\h\h 76 00:07:52,720 --> 00:08:00,640 uh for them to look at and it was the longer\h enhanced version why was it open to a foia release\h\h 77 00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:07,520 so close to when it was given to them in\h a classified format we don't typically\h\h 78 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:14,080 handle classified material that way so what what\h went down oh look it's basically full of black\h\h 79 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:20,000 redactions to be honest bryce the most interesting\h stuff is behind black boxes so look one of the\h\h 80 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:26,720 things that um has been revolving around in\h the debate this week is is uh what's behind the\h\h 81 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:31,520 redactions and one of the most interesting things\h was that there was a section in the report that\h\h 82 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:39,120 described the shapes of the uaps that have been\h seen mainly by navy pilots and commercial pilots\h\h 83 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:44,400 and that was redacted that was classified which\h kind of begged the question why would you have to\h\h 84 00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:49,840 classify something that was merely describing\h the shapes of the objects that have been seen\h\h 85 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:55,840 there's a couple of takeaways from the report that\h i thought were significant that if you interpret\h\h 86 00:08:55,840 --> 00:09:02,720 the report clearly it means that about 80 out\h of 144 cases that were included in the report\h\h 87 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:08,480 were corroborated by several systems at once which\h is very significant they were corroborated either\h\h 88 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:16,480 by radar visual by pilots or visual by either\h ultraviolet or infrared sensors or perhaps also by\h\h 89 00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:22,960 satellites and that's very significant because it\h explains why it's being taken so seriously there's\h\h 90 00:09:22,960 --> 00:09:28,800 multiple corroboration of what these pilots were\h seeing it wasn't just their eyeballs it wasn't\h\h 91 00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:35,120 just their gun cameras it was other data sources\h that corroborated and underlined what these people\h\h 92 00:09:35,120 --> 00:09:41,840 were seeing um i i think that's really important\h but the it was very frustrating because in the\h\h 93 00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:46,560 end a lot of the debate about the significance\h of the report descended into an argument about\h\h 94 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:53,600 whether or not it was 17 pages or the 70 pages\h that have been suggested by some people including\h\h 95 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:59,680 lou elizondo and frankly to me it's a kind of a\h silly argument i'm not really fussed about that\h\h 96 00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:04,800 the fact is uh they've been able to get this\h report released and information's been provided\h\h 97 00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:10,320 to the congress that is of significance notably\h and as we know from last year i don't disagree\h\h 98 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:17,520 that it's a silly argument but i do kind of wonder\h do we know factually whether it was 17 pages or 70\h\h 99 00:10:17,520 --> 00:10:24,720 7-0 pages or was this just somebody mishearing 17\h and the thinking 70. i mean what what's the truth\h\h 100 00:10:24,720 --> 00:10:30,800 on that do we do we know look to be honest i don't\h know for sure i mean one explanation that's been\h\h 101 00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:37,120 offered to me is that the uh report the classified\h report that went to congress had appendices that\h\h 102 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:42,320 weren't included in the redacted version that\h was provided to john greenwald frankly we just\h\h 103 00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:47,520 don't know but what disturbs me and this takes\h us on to another issue that i think we should\h\h 104 00:10:47,520 --> 00:10:54,240 address this week what disturbs me is that it's\h been used yet again to attack the credibility of\h\h 105 00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:59,840 uh people like louis lozando who who\h did suggest that the report was long\h\h 106 00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:07,200 i think there is a kind of an expectation\h in ufology that essentially it's the duty of\h\h 107 00:11:07,200 --> 00:11:13,680 former insiders like elizondo to give the ufology\h world everything on a plate and just to serve it\h\h 108 00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:18,480 up and say here's the secrets here are the dark\h secrets from within the defense department and\h\h 109 00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:23,760 the intelligence community that's not how it\h works and i think this is going to be a long\h\h 110 00:11:23,760 --> 00:11:30,320 slow iterative process and i i see no evidence\h that people like elizondo or chris mellon aren't\h\h 111 00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:35,280 doing the best that they possibly can to bring\h what they can do to the public you're certainly\h\h 112 00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:40,160 right that's not necessarily how it works but i\h think what's interesting is we really haven't had\h\h 113 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:47,360 a luellazondo out there before i mean here's a guy\h who ran the program that the government set up for\h\h 114 00:11:47,360 --> 00:11:53,200 several years many years and then suddenly he\h resigns and now he's sort of it's almost like\h\h 115 00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:58,000 a whistleblower but not quite he's resigned and\h now he's out there telling the truth as he knows\h\h 116 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:04,240 it but he's being somewhat coy by saying he's got\h an nda but at the same time he's laying out more\h\h 117 00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:10,240 provocative things and i think the question has\h come up over and over is like will the real lou\h\h 118 00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:15,520 elizondo please stand up people are just not\h quite sure what they should make of him now\h\h 119 00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:22,080 i know that at the very least you know the man you\h have uh interviewed him and based on watching your\h\h 120 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:27,920 documentary that you did last year you've been\h out to i think his ranch and you've gone on a hike\h\h 121 00:12:27,920 --> 00:12:35,040 with the man so tell me what your assessment on a\h personal level of of his veracity is and and also\h\h 122 00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:41,280 what you think the game he is being forced\h to play uh what the rules about that game are 123 00:12:43,360 --> 00:12:49,280 there's no doubt in my mind that lua lizondo\h is genuine he's authentic he's he's a former\h\h 124 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,640 counter-intelligence officer though working or\h who has worked inside the united states government\h\h 125 00:12:54,640 --> 00:13:00,800 so you know he's he's operating within the\h constraints of his security oath there's no\h\h 126 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:07,680 doubt that he knows a hell of a lot more than he's\h allowed to publicly let on the the the interesting\h\h 127 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:14,320 thing is the one thing that i did learn when i was\h doing my research into lou was that he was cleared\h\h 128 00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:20,240 to a level inside the office that he was working\h from the office of the under secretary of\h\h 129 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:26,240 defense intelligence and security he was working\h at a level that i don't think people realize there\h\h 130 00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:34,320 was a time i'm told not by lou but by others that\h he was essentially a liaison between that section\h\h 131 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:39,680 of the defense department and what's called the\h special access program oversight committee which\h\h 132 00:13:39,680 --> 00:13:46,000 is essentially the committee that oversights all\h of the biggest secrets inside the us government\h\h 133 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:53,680 this is a guy who really does know where all the\h bodies are buried he knows all the secret projects\h\h 134 00:13:53,680 --> 00:14:00,160 and frankly if there is a tr-3b or an aurora\h jacked up on blocks in a cave in area 51 right\h\h 135 00:14:00,160 --> 00:14:06,480 nearby right near rich's place then it's it's\h going to be he who knows it and so one of the\h\h 136 00:14:06,480 --> 00:14:11,760 things that i i think is the first what's coming\h through at the moment on social media and twitter\h\h 137 00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:17,120 is a sense of frustration from the research\h community that he's not being more candid than\h\h 138 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:22,880 he is i think he's being as candid as he possibly\h can be well you when you just said he knows where\h\h 139 00:14:22,880 --> 00:14:28,400 the bodies are buried i i immediately was taken\h aback because if he knows a hell of a lot more\h\h 140 00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:33,440 than what he's actually saying let's review what\h he's actually been saying he's sort of confirmed\h\h 141 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:42,000 crash wreckage exists he's confirmed that we have\h a video of occupants on some of these craft so\h\h 142 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:49,680 you know that's a lot to digest right there and\h i have to say uh i've seen probably more lou\h\h 143 00:14:49,680 --> 00:14:58,240 elizondo interviews than i have of you or anyone\h else i mean this this guy uh is ubiquitous uh he's\h\h 144 00:14:58,240 --> 00:15:04,800 he's not turned down very many opportunities to\h talk to people about it and for that i commend\h\h 145 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:11,840 him i mean it's it's been uh really fantastic\h and and to listen to lou uh is to hear a man who\h\h 146 00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:20,000 certainly sounds like he's in the know and sounds\h like he is you know answering a higher calling\h\h 147 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:25,840 and yet as you point out uh if you go to the\h wild west which is what you know many people\h\h 148 00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:33,120 talk about hashtag ufo twitter as being uh you get\h a lot of people who are frustrated and i i wish\h\h 149 00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:40,240 they i wish we could work this out uh so that we\h could sort of focus on the path ahead because when\h\h 150 00:15:40,240 --> 00:15:45,840 when we have to degenerate into arguing about what\h lou knows and what lou doesn't know and whether\h\h 151 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:53,040 he's this or whether he's that it seems to um it\h seems to work against the greater uh goal but we\h\h 152 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:58,000 just haven't had in history too many people i\h mean we did as we talked about last week have\h\h 153 00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:04,000 uh captain edward rupelt who was with blue book\h who was pretty outspoken after he left blue book\h\h 154 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:10,080 but he may have known more than he was\h talking about i've never seen anybody who had\h\h 155 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:16,560 a legitimate job in the u.s government who has\h said things more provocative than lou elizondo\h\h 156 00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:23,760 so if he's uh if he's not making it then god\h bless him one thing that i want to address is and\h\h 157 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:28,960 i don't know if this is true or not but i think\h lou was accused by certain people on social media\h\h 158 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:35,840 of putting up proxy accounts on twitter that\h were pushing a view that through an anonymous\h\h 159 00:16:36,480 --> 00:16:43,200 identity uh sock puppets yeah and the interesting\h thing is if you look and i'm not going to dignify\h\h 160 00:16:43,200 --> 00:16:49,520 it with a with a uh uh you know a credit of\h naming people but if you look at what some\h\h 161 00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:55,680 scumbags have actually been saying about he\h or more importantly his wife i can understand\h\h 162 00:16:55,680 --> 00:17:01,280 why the guy if he did do that was pissed off i\h mean for god's sake you've had that ridiculous\h\h 163 00:17:01,280 --> 00:17:06,960 performance at the oscars this week where a\h certain actor who i won't name uh violently\h\h 164 00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:11,760 assaulted a comedian for the simple fact that he\h was offended by what somebody said about his wife\h\h 165 00:17:12,720 --> 00:17:18,080 what the hell was wrong even if lou did do this\h if he if he did set up a proxy twitter account\h\h 166 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:21,680 to basically have a go at the people\h who were attacking him and his family\h\h 167 00:17:21,680 --> 00:17:26,160 what was wrong with that well is there any\h evidence that he was sowing disinformation\h\h 168 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:32,480 i don't think there is i i i and he's talked\h about that just in case people are saying wait\h\h 169 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:38,240 hold on sock puppets all right if you're on uh\h twitter or any social media but let's use twitter\h\h 170 00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:43,440 then you like ross you have a twitter account\h that's at ross coldheart you're ross coldheart\h\h 171 00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:49,760 at ross coldheart and i'm bryce abel at bryce abel\h and and so there's no attempt to hide who we are\h\h 172 00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:55,520 when we make a statement and the idea of a sock\h puppet is that you've created a twitter account\h\h 173 00:17:55,520 --> 00:18:03,440 that disguises who you are and i guess the\h accusation is that lou did that and he did it\h\h 174 00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:09,600 as you said probably because he was irritated\h that people were saying nasty things not just\h\h 175 00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:14,480 about himself but about his family and he wanted\h to respond to it but i haven't actually heard him\h\h 176 00:18:15,120 --> 00:18:20,320 state that in so many words and i've listened to\h a lot of his interviews recently so i'm just not\h\h 177 00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:26,880 clear on where this is going and i just want\h to assure people we're not talking about this\h\h 178 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:33,600 because we think it's you know juicy or gossipy\h i think it if he was a lesser person in the whole\h\h 179 00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:40,080 ufology field uh we would dismiss it and move on\h but because he's such an important and and cr and\h\h 180 00:18:40,720 --> 00:18:46,880 and and needed person in trying to get to what\h we do need to know about this it's important to\h\h 181 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:52,080 sort of sort these issues out to sort it and i and\h even if we can't answer that entire question today\h\h 182 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:59,280 we'll stay on it and as this evolves we will talk\h more about it now coming up next of course we're\h\h 183 00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:04,640 talking about the threat narrative and i think\h this is the sort of stuff we should be talking\h\h 184 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:10,320 about not getting diverted from essentially\h a lot of irrelevancy let's talk about the big\h\h 185 00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:23,840 things in uap research so coming up is there a\h threat from the phenomenon next on need to know\h\h 186 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:51,840 oh 187 00:21:03,200 --> 00:21:09,120 well we're back and we are talking about the\h threat narrative if you will um and as we talked\h\h 188 00:21:09,120 --> 00:21:14,640 about in the last there's kind of a spectrum\h of how people view the phenomenon some people\h\h 189 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,960 are on one side of it and they say hey look\h they're they're benevolent space brothers\h\h 190 00:21:18,960 --> 00:21:24,560 that's what i would call the sort of the uh e.t\h the extraterrestrial version the the scientists\h\h 191 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:29,520 who are looking here and and friendly to us and\h then on the other side you have the independence\h\h 192 00:21:29,520 --> 00:21:33,520 day crowd that says no they're here to do no\h particularly good and they're going to blow\h\h 193 00:21:33,520 --> 00:21:38,640 up the white house or something and then the truth\h may be somewhere in the middle in that we may have\h\h 194 00:21:38,640 --> 00:21:43,120 multiple things to be talking about and that's\h what we want to do today but ross one thing i\h\h 195 00:21:43,120 --> 00:21:49,040 wanted to do before we got started on that is to\h give an example we have said on multiple occasions\h\h 196 00:21:49,040 --> 00:21:56,400 on this show that uh the uap have been seen over\h and over near nuclear power plants near nuclear\h\h 197 00:21:56,400 --> 00:22:01,680 weapons near nuclear assets and there's really a\h couple ways you could look at that and i've heard\h\h 198 00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:07,760 it both ways uh one way is on one side of the\h spectrum say people say well of course they're\h\h 199 00:22:07,760 --> 00:22:12,960 looking into our nuclear weapons because they\h want to save us from ourselves the reason they're\h\h 200 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:18,560 learning how to turn off our nuclear weapons is\h that if they could do that they could keep nuclear\h\h 201 00:22:18,560 --> 00:22:22,960 war from happening on earth and that would be a\h lovely thing i suppose but then on the other side\h\h 202 00:22:22,960 --> 00:22:29,680 of the spectrum you have people saying it's not\h a good thing if someone you don't know who won't\h\h 203 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:35,600 announce their intentions or who they are or why\h they're here are shutting off your nuclear weapons\h\h 204 00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:41,440 uh that might very well be a a threat assessment\h on their part so i throw that to you my friend\h\h 205 00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:46,880 i i agree with you bryce i mean the the\h simple fact is we don't know if this is\h\h 206 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:53,520 extraterrestrial we don't even know if this\h is uh a non-human intelligence for sure that's\h\h 207 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:59,840 that's what people like lua lizondo and others are\h suggesting it is and interestingly lou gives us a\h\h 208 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:04,720 good segue into what we're talking about this week\h because just this week in an interview with linda\h\h 209 00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:12,240 moulton howe he talked about an incident involving\h an aircraft carrier that suffered a shutdown of\h\h 210 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:19,120 either all or some of its systems because of a\h uaep he didn't say which one but i've been doing\h\h 211 00:23:19,120 --> 00:23:25,920 a bit of digging and i suspect what he's talking\h about is an incident that took place in 1970s 1971\h\h 212 00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:32,320 involving the uss john f kennedy in or\h around the bermuda triangle near cuba\h\h 213 00:23:32,880 --> 00:23:40,080 and in that incident the ship didn't lose power\h but its communication systems were jammed uh\h\h 214 00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:46,400 it went out of they went out of water when there\h was a sphere hovering overhead it's not mentioned\h\h 215 00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:52,000 in the ship's official history but by definition\h i would have thought that something like that that\h\h 216 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:59,760 involves an attempt by an object an unidentified\h aerial phenomena hovering over the craft over the\h\h 217 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:07,600 ship shutting down a vital system that that ship\h could use to defend itself that by by its very\h\h 218 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:14,080 nature is what the military would call a threat\h right now i don't know why this is even being\h\h 219 00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:21,280 debated then then we come to biological well you\h know what though let's let's give just a little\h\h 220 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:27,520 i just because i loved the research that was done\h on this kennedy the uss kennedy and one of the\h\h 221 00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:32,960 things that jumped out at me is okay they they\h not the communication system gets knocked down\h\h 222 00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:40,400 but supposedly there's a a pneumatic tube system\h that also works for communications in there and\h\h 223 00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:47,440 that a loud voice proclaimed during this so i i so\h i guess the communication outward wasn't working\h\h 224 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:53,440 but there was in-ship communication of some kind\h but this loud voice proclaims there is something\h\h 225 00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:59,040 hovering over the ship all right and a moment\h or two later according to this report another\h\h 226 00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:06,880 voice shouts and i i don't even know i'll just\h say it the voice says it's the end of the world\h\h 227 00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:12,480 okay you can you can actually see these you\h can see these interviews online uh stephen\h\h 228 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,120 greer to his credit did some interviews for his\h disclosure project with some of these people\h\h 229 00:25:17,120 --> 00:25:20,800 they're named they're identified\h they've confirmed their service\h\h 230 00:25:20,800 --> 00:25:24,720 a couple of them were in the communications\h room of the ship and they actually ran\h\h 231 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:30,960 from the communications room to the exte outside\h of the ship to have a look and they actually saw\h\h 232 00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,360 uh whatever this object was a large\h glowing sphere hovering above the ship\h\h 233 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:44,960 and the interesting thing is this was meddling\h with the systems of a blooming aircraft carrier\h\h 234 00:25:44,960 --> 00:25:51,920 yes you know that that's a nuclear-armed aircraft\h carrier indisputably one of the most powerful\h\h 235 00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:59,360 weapons in the world by any definition a threat\h and these people went out to take a look at it\h\h 236 00:25:59,360 --> 00:26:03,840 and just to remind everyone what they saw they\h saw something that they recorded as as what they\h\h 237 00:26:03,840 --> 00:26:09,200 thought was between two and three hundred feet now\h i know that you don't use feet where you are and\h\h 238 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:14,560 you know i don't you we've got that communications\h thing so i always think in football fields\h\h 239 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:20,080 all right a football field here is a hundred\h yards which is roughly 100 meters i don't know\h\h 240 00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:25,360 exactly what it is in australia so this means\h that whatever was hovering over this craft was\h\h 241 00:26:25,360 --> 00:26:30,080 about the length of a football field or close to\h it and that's a pretty big thing to have hovering\h\h 242 00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:38,320 over a uh aircraft carrier which which kind of is\h a good segue for another story that you and i have\h\h 243 00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:44,000 talked about previously the the ref bentwaters\h the rendlesham mystery and what interests me\h\h 244 00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:49,120 about that case which was an incident that took\h place at a nuclear base that the americans and\h\h 245 00:26:49,120 --> 00:26:55,920 the british jointly operated in the united kingdom\h is that there were biological effects that were\h\h 246 00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:01,680 allegedly also described being inflicted on at\h least one of the people that witnessed this object\h\h 247 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:10,240 landing in the rendelsham forest adjacent to this\h air base raft bent waters in the united kingdom\h\h 248 00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:15,440 which allegedly was nuclear-armed it was one\h of the main nuclear bases in the united kingdom\h\h 249 00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:23,920 and in december 1980 when airman john burrows and\h his colleague sergeant jim peniston went into the\h\h 250 00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:31,120 rendelsham forest to investigate an object which\h was seen descending into the forest burroughs\h\h 251 00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:36,880 said he only saw strange flashing red green and\h blue lights and a clearing that threw off the\h\h 252 00:27:36,880 --> 00:27:42,800 image of something that looked like a craft but\h he never saw anything metallic or hard peniston\h\h 253 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:49,200 has described in great detail actually physically\h touching a craft which he had almost said almost\h\h 254 00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:54,800 had a sort of a smoky glass like structure to\h its external structure with symbols on the side\h\h 255 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:01,760 but the takeaway from that case that has often\h been overlooked is that john burroughs suffered\h\h 256 00:28:01,760 --> 00:28:09,840 terrible injuries he suffered heart injuries\h that incredibly in or around 2015 as a result of\h\h 257 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:17,120 the intervention of the good senator john mccain\h airman first class john burroughs was acknowledged\h\h 258 00:28:17,120 --> 00:28:24,000 to have suffered what apparently were huge doses\h of radiation while investigating this matter\h\h 259 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:32,880 and the u.s veterans association the the va that\h looks after injured veterans agreed to pay for his\h\h 260 00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:40,720 treatment after john mccain successfully helped\h him obtain his medical evidence to actually show\h\h 261 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:46,480 that he'd suffered some kind of an injury during\h this incident i think that's very significant\h\h 262 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:54,560 it's essentially a biological effect caused by a\h uap acknowledged by an arm of the us government\h\h 263 00:28:55,840 --> 00:29:01,440 well you know what's also interesting about that\h ross is it was a holiday season to remember in\h\h 264 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:07,360 late december of 1980 because not only did\h you have that case with burroughs in the\h\h 265 00:29:08,160 --> 00:29:14,400 bent waters case but at the same time literally a\h few days later here in the united states in texas\h\h 266 00:29:14,400 --> 00:29:21,200 we have the so-called cash landrum case and and\h and while burroughs actually won his legal battle\h\h 267 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:27,280 if you will to be recognized and treated for his\h injuries cash landrum turns out another way i'm\h\h 268 00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:33,440 going to let ut up lander while i look up the\h effects that some of these people suffered okay\h\h 269 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:41,200 cash landrum is an amazing case bryce because i i\h strongly suspect cash landrum was some kind of u.s\h\h 270 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:48,240 project but what it involved was on the evening\h of 29th december 1980 which as you say is very\h\h 271 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:54,720 very close to the ref bentwaters case across on\h the united kingdom betty cash vicki landrum and\h\h 272 00:29:54,720 --> 00:30:00,000 colby landrum who were seven years old at the time\h were driving home to their home in dayton texas\h\h 273 00:30:00,880 --> 00:30:08,720 and all of a sudden they came across a huge\h diamond-shaped object hovering over the road\h\h 274 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:13,680 and it appeared to be in trouble it was\h emitting flame and emitting significant heat\h\h 275 00:30:14,320 --> 00:30:19,600 so much heat that allegedly somebody's\h hand on the dashboard actually sank into\h\h 276 00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:24,000 the vinyl on the dashboard and\h the family allegedly suffered\h\h 277 00:30:24,720 --> 00:30:32,640 very serious radiation injuries that were measured\h and assessed as real by doctors and because they\h\h 278 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,840 believed that the us military was involved\h because there were allegedly a large number\h\h 279 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:43,760 of helicopters pursuing this object that appeared\h to be united states military helicopters they sued\h\h 280 00:30:43,760 --> 00:30:49,200 the us government as you say and unfortunately\h they lost the case because they couldn't prove\h\h 281 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:56,880 that the the object that was seen was in fact\h a u.s government object even though they were\h\h 282 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:02,640 shown to have suffered some terrible biological\h effects from their exposure to this radiation\h\h 283 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:08,880 they couldn't prove definitively that whatever it\h was it was part of the us military that it caused\h\h 284 00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:14,320 let's talk about those biological effects\h uh there were large painful blisters for one\h\h 285 00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:21,040 and uh cash uh went into an emergency room days\h after this because it they didn't go away and she\h\h 286 00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:28,160 could barely walk and and had lost large patches\h of skin and clumps of hair was released after 12\h\h 287 00:31:28,160 --> 00:31:33,920 days and it gets very specific you said a lot\h of helicopters there were 23 by the count of\h\h 288 00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:39,440 the cash lender i mean if you have enough time\h to count 23 helicopters you have to ask yourself\h\h 289 00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:46,800 how often are 23 helicopters dispatched to do\h much of anything but again uh that case was not\h\h 290 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:52,800 a win that was one where the government was able\h to say that uh it wasn't wasn't us which is kind\h\h 291 00:31:52,800 --> 00:31:58,000 of interesting if if you're saying it wasn't\h us that doesn't necessarily mean you're saying\h\h 292 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:03,440 wasn't anybody it could be somebody now\h this is where it gets interesting because\h\h 293 00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:09,200 a lot of people might be thinking okay those are\h historical cases of biological effects from uaps\h\h 294 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:15,760 i'd like to talk about a more contemporary one\h right i i have a very personal friend a very close\h\h 295 00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:24,240 friend damian knott who is one of australia's\h foremost uap researchers he's gravely ill\h\h 296 00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:31,600 at the moment very very seriously ill after he\h was exposed a few years ago to what he says was\h\h 297 00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:39,120 a uap that essentially descended and he'd been\h watching it for about 40 seconds in his backyard\h\h 298 00:32:39,760 --> 00:32:45,760 it descended towards him his girlfriend mel was\h with him for a large part of the earlier part when\h\h 299 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:51,840 he was filming and watching this object she went\h inside and then what he describes happened was\h\h 300 00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:57,760 that as he was watching this object it essentially\h descended towards him very very closely\h\h 301 00:32:57,760 --> 00:33:06,000 and emitted a huge flash of bluish light now ever\h since that incident which damien told me about\h\h 302 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:12,720 he's got gravely ill he lives in a small country\h town in regional new south wales here in australia\h\h 303 00:33:13,360 --> 00:33:19,600 and his symptoms his doctors tell\h him are consistent with exposure to\h\h 304 00:33:20,320 --> 00:33:26,400 very weird radiation they can't explain\h his injuries he's suffering um uh\h\h 305 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:35,760 horrible sort of osteoporosis symptoms where\h his bones are very very brutal he um he uh has\h\h 306 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:46,320 anomalous mri scans his brain scans show anomalies\h which uh american experts that he's been in touch\h\h 307 00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:54,480 with from harvard university who are involved\h in brain scan studies tell him are unusual and\h\h 308 00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:00,560 this is a this is a person who was exposed in\h australia just to within a few years ago and and\h\h 309 00:34:00,560 --> 00:34:05,840 i can tell you the symptoms that he's suffering\h are very very grave indeed and look if there's\h\h 310 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,160 anybody out there by the way who's a doctor who\h actually knows anything about treating people\h\h 311 00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:14,880 with radiation injuries damien's very keen to\h hear from them we're actually going to show\h\h 312 00:34:15,520 --> 00:34:22,240 in the vodcast we're going to show pictures\h of what he says he experienced but they are\h\h 313 00:34:22,240 --> 00:34:28,960 harrowing images for the first time people will\h see he suffered blistering on his arm when he\h\h 314 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:34,960 threw his arm up like this to protect himself\h from the bright light and on the area of his\h\h 315 00:34:34,960 --> 00:34:42,640 arm where he was exposed he suffered very grievous\h burns that essentially have got infected and and\h\h 316 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:47,840 bubbled up with some kind of infection they're\h quite harrowing it's i've seen those photos\h\h 317 00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:54,960 uh they are troubling they're disturbing and yes\h we will put them up on the uh the video version\h\h 318 00:34:54,960 --> 00:35:00,880 of this because damien has told us it's okay to do\h that he's he's interested in in seeking the truth\h\h 319 00:35:00,880 --> 00:35:08,560 here and actually also seeking help if he he can\h receive it um i i wonder though ross uh as people\h\h 320 00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,440 because we know how easy it is to dismiss\h things or to deflect you go well yeah\h\h 321 00:35:13,440 --> 00:35:17,920 something really happened to that guy but all we\h have is his version of events that this thing was\h\h 322 00:35:17,920 --> 00:35:24,800 landing in his backyard is there uh corroborating\h evidence of any kind that that anything else can\h\h 323 00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:32,000 say yes uh damien was exposed to something\h uh non-traditional out there well we know\h\h 324 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:38,800 from his doctors who've actually examined him that\h they are baffled by his injuries i mean how does\h\h 325 00:35:38,800 --> 00:35:46,240 somebody get burns on their arm from exposure to\h some kind of radiation in their backyard these\h\h 326 00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:53,600 are really anomalous injuries and the interesting\h thing about it is that if you actually look and uh\h\h 327 00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:00,880 study what is being said by people like professor\h gary nolan at stanford university damien's the tip\h\h 328 00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:09,120 of an iceberg of people who are people involved\h in proximity to uaps who have suffered injuries\h\h 329 00:36:09,120 --> 00:36:16,880 as a result of exposure to those uaps professor\h nolan who's an extremely reputable scientist\h\h 330 00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:23,600 based at stanford university has described\h anomalous mris he's actually described how\h\h 331 00:36:23,600 --> 00:36:31,200 the mri of somebody who's been exposed to a uap is\h very similar to somebody with multiple sclerosis\h\h 332 00:36:31,920 --> 00:36:38,240 it looks like white matter disease this scarring\h and this apparently is what damian's been told\h\h 333 00:36:38,240 --> 00:36:45,200 he's got on mris that he's sent to doctors at\h harvard university who are doing research and\h\h 334 00:36:45,200 --> 00:36:54,000 if you actually read what gary nolan said to vice\h dot com he actually has suggested that some people\h\h 335 00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:03,200 who've been exposed to these objects actually have\h shown um enhanced parts of the brain as a result\h\h 336 00:37:03,200 --> 00:37:09,120 of their exposure to these uaps he's not saying\h that he's developed a hypothesis yet to explain\h\h 337 00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:15,920 what that means but basically when you have brain\h differences as a result of exposure to uaps that's\h\h 338 00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,640 scientifically significant and it should be being\h investigated but i think the most interesting\h\h 339 00:37:20,640 --> 00:37:25,520 thing the most disturbing thing is that of the\h hundred or so patients that gary said he looked at\h\h 340 00:37:26,080 --> 00:37:32,320 a quarter of them died from their injuries so\h these people who claimed that they'd had an\h\h 341 00:37:32,320 --> 00:37:39,040 encounter especially pilots were showing\h a decrease in neurological capabilities\h\h 342 00:37:39,040 --> 00:37:44,480 and a quarter of them gary said died from\h their injuries and he actually linked it to\h\h 343 00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:50,960 essentially being similar to what's\h being now called havana syndrome so again\h\h 344 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:58,720 biological effects from exposure to uaps maybe\h it's inadvertent but maybe what these objects\h\h 345 00:37:58,720 --> 00:38:04,160 are whatever they are perhaps they're doing it\h inadvertently but this they seem to be causing\h\h 346 00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:10,160 health problems in some humans that come up close\h to them which is the takeaway and as we've said\h\h 347 00:38:10,160 --> 00:38:15,600 before one of the things we want to do with this\h uh show is to is to explain to people who are just\h\h 348 00:38:15,600 --> 00:38:23,120 coming to the material what the breadth of this\h uh this information is uh seeing unidentified\h\h 349 00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:28,400 aerial phenomena or unidentified flying objects\h whichever you choose to call them isn't just a\h\h 350 00:38:28,400 --> 00:38:34,080 matter of bright lights in the sky there is\h a physical aspect to what people are seeing\h\h 351 00:38:34,080 --> 00:38:42,320 and as ross has just explained in in detail there\h are literally human cases where people are injured\h\h 352 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:48,720 in what appear to be close contact with technology\h now that doesn't mean that we're telling you\h\h 353 00:38:48,720 --> 00:38:54,000 whose technology it is but there seems to be a\h fairly strong case that somebody's technology\h\h 354 00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:01,680 is when exposed to human beings very uh\h harmful to their health and that is something\h\h 355 00:39:01,680 --> 00:39:06,640 that uh gary nolan by the way great interview\h uh he's always someone who speaks very directly\h\h 356 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:11,600 about this fascinating to hear from him so\h yeah uh more on this in the future as well\h\h 357 00:39:12,880 --> 00:39:18,400 so let's continue this theme bryce coming up\h next in the next section of need to know let's\h\h 358 00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:27,840 look closer at the military threat issue\h of uaps coming up next on need to know\h\h 359 00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:40,880 we've got the right to choose it\h there ain't no way we'll lose it this 360 00:39:53,760 --> 00:40:02,240 don't pick up destiny cause you\h don't know us you don't belong 361 00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:24,240 we're not gonna take it no we ain't gonna\h take it we're not gonna take it anymore 362 00:40:24,240 --> 00:40:32,240 three welcome back to need to know now we were\h talking about the issue of threats the military\h\h 363 00:40:32,240 --> 00:40:38,720 threat from uaps is it real or isn't it one of\h the things bryce that shocked me when i went back\h\h 364 00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:44,720 through the historical records is the overwhelming\h evidence not just from the us but also from\h\h 365 00:40:44,720 --> 00:40:51,680 other countries like the soviet union of\h incidents where there have in fact been pilots\h\h 366 00:40:51,680 --> 00:41:00,240 lost engaging with uaps and back in brighter days\h when relationships with russia were friendlier at\h\h 367 00:41:00,240 --> 00:41:06,880 the end of the cold war in around 1989 1990 there\h were people within the russian government who came\h\h 368 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:12,720 forward and started talking very candidly about\h a secret investigation that took place within the\h\h 369 00:41:12,720 --> 00:41:18,560 soviet union which was ordered by yuri andropov\h who was at the time the president of russia\h\h 370 00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:23,680 very very concerned about the number\h of incursions over nuclear facilities\h\h 371 00:41:23,680 --> 00:41:29,120 and the evidence from places like the place we\h talked about a couple of weeks ago by yukovich\h\h 372 00:41:29,120 --> 00:41:36,480 where a uap meddled with the nuclear weapons\h inside a silo and what really astonished me\h\h 373 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:43,120 was the evidence that came from a colonel boris\h sokolov who did an interview with our friend\h\h 374 00:41:43,120 --> 00:41:49,440 george knapp the investigative journalist from\h las vegas and sokolov admitted that there were 40\h\h 375 00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:59,280 war incidents where soviet jets engaged ufos three\h of those planes crashed and pilots were killed\h\h 376 00:42:01,040 --> 00:42:06,800 it's it's it's amazing and at the same time this\h was taken so seriously apparently in the soviet\h\h 377 00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:12,160 union that at one point there was a standing\h order that ufos were not to be fired upon\h\h 378 00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:19,120 because they had fired upon these ufos before and\h as they explained to their pilots uh there was a\h\h 379 00:42:19,120 --> 00:42:25,680 tremendous capacity for retaliation so it it's\h clearly been something that that not only have\h\h 380 00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:30,560 has the united states and also australia\h and other countries taking interest in\h\h 381 00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:36,400 so has the soviet union and also russia\h now i think the thing that uh that we\h\h 382 00:42:36,400 --> 00:42:42,320 ought to be able to say about this uh even\h though incursions have happened over decades\h\h 383 00:42:42,960 --> 00:42:50,800 any incursion in a military sense that is\h unexplained where you don't know exactly\h\h 384 00:42:50,800 --> 00:42:55,760 who it is and you you're not familiar\h with exactly the technology that's there\h\h 385 00:42:55,760 --> 00:43:02,320 you have to say it's a national security issue\h maybe it's not a national security threat but you\h\h 386 00:43:02,320 --> 00:43:08,720 got to say that's a national security issue that\h doesn't make you a war monger or someone who's\h\h 387 00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:14,640 just out pushing a narrative about threat it just\h makes you aware of what what has been reported\h\h 388 00:43:16,080 --> 00:43:22,640 so let's talk about a case where i think it's very\h very clear that it's a national security issue and\h\h 389 00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:30,080 it's not in america it's not in the soviet union\h it's in brazil and it was called operation prato\h\h 390 00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:36,480 operation plate and it's astonishing because it\h shows essentially it's a series of investigations\h\h 391 00:43:36,480 --> 00:43:44,080 done by the brazilian air force as a result of\h complaints from locals in an area called calaras\h\h 392 00:43:44,080 --> 00:43:52,240 in north eastern brazil in the 1970s around 1977\h and all these people have gone on the record there\h\h 393 00:43:52,240 --> 00:43:58,320 was a lieutenant colonel urangi hollander in the\h intelligence service of the brazilian air force\h\h 394 00:43:58,320 --> 00:44:05,760 who was asked to investigate in this operation\h prato claims from numerous people from 30 villages\h\h 395 00:44:05,760 --> 00:44:13,840 in this calaras area who claimed that they'd been\h burned temporarily paralyzed by beams of light\h\h 396 00:44:13,840 --> 00:44:20,000 and there were also claims that at least\h two people died from these attacks from\h\h 397 00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:26,560 craft that directed beams of light at people on\h the ground these are incredible allegations i\h\h 398 00:44:26,560 --> 00:44:33,600 know but they are being made by former members of\h the brazilian air force who were directly involved\h\h 399 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:40,640 in these investigations brazil over the years has\h been kind of a hotbed of ufo activity or at least\h\h 400 00:44:40,640 --> 00:44:48,240 interest in reporting and reasonable investigation\h you were mentioned i think it's probably yonda\h\h 401 00:44:48,240 --> 00:44:54,640 or or whatever but here's a man who goes out to\h investigate it he sees some of this stuff himself\h\h 402 00:44:54,640 --> 00:45:00,880 so in other words it and they and they as well\h yes photographs and they saw structured craft\h\h 403 00:45:00,880 --> 00:45:08,320 they talked about one that was a 30 meter disc\h that hovered overhead he and his men uh but but i\h\h 404 00:45:08,320 --> 00:45:14,240 think there's another aspect to his investigation\h that's also equally disturbing which is it wasn't\h\h 405 00:45:14,240 --> 00:45:18,960 all just lights in the sky or structured craft\h in the sky these are things that they witnessed\h\h 406 00:45:18,960 --> 00:45:26,400 going in the water and and and they blew lights\h traveling quickly under the water it it was just\h\h 407 00:45:26,400 --> 00:45:33,440 crazy stuff it's funny actually i'm very excited\h to see that my friend and colleague james fox\h\h 408 00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:38,640 is coming out soon with his new film which has\h been investigating a lot of these incidents\h\h 409 00:45:38,640 --> 00:45:46,640 in brazil uh he's apparently made great headway in\h trying to get to the bottom of these sightings and\h\h 410 00:45:46,640 --> 00:45:53,360 finding some of the brazilian investigators\h who were investigating these claims of harm to\h\h 411 00:45:53,360 --> 00:46:00,000 human beings his films coming out later on this\h year there's some amazing stuff in brazil and i\h\h 412 00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:06,160 noticed the brazilian government the parliament\h has actually also agreed that it's going to have\h\h 413 00:46:06,160 --> 00:46:12,320 a public inquiry an investigation into uaps how\h interesting it would be bryce if some of the\h\h 414 00:46:12,320 --> 00:46:18,640 more interesting revelations about uaps didn't\h in the end come from the united states first\h\h 415 00:46:18,640 --> 00:46:24,320 but in fact from countries like brazil and\h perhaps the former soviet union russia maybe\h\h 416 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:31,440 i'll tell you what as we we were talking about\h this the one thing i realized is we've uh only\h\h 417 00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:36,000 we haven't even scratched the surface of the\h soviet union cases there's so many of them\h\h 418 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:39,840 and we both as you said talked to george\h knapp who's been to the soviet union\h\h 419 00:46:39,840 --> 00:46:44,400 and talked to some of these people about it in\h the day and and they're fascinating cases and\h\h 420 00:46:44,400 --> 00:46:50,400 the same with brazil and james fox going down\h there a lot of cases i remember um a few years\h\h 421 00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:55,760 back when rich dolan and i were writing the book a\h d after disclosure and we were trying to think to\h\h 422 00:46:55,760 --> 00:47:00,720 ourselves well what are the what are the things uh\h the the the events that would have to happen that\h\h 423 00:47:00,720 --> 00:47:07,840 might cause a global exposure uh to the topic that\h would lead to an acknowledgement that we could\h\h 424 00:47:07,840 --> 00:47:13,120 tentatively call disclosure and one of them was\h we simply said to ourselves it doesn't have to\h\h 425 00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:18,560 be just the united states that leads it looks like\h the united states has been leading all these years\h\h 426 00:47:18,560 --> 00:47:24,080 but let's face it if brazil were to just say we\h don't care we're just going to tell people what\h\h 427 00:47:24,080 --> 00:47:30,400 we think we know and lay out before the world\h the case of just what's happened in brazil it\h\h 428 00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:36,800 would probably start a dialogue that would ripple\h worldwide and cause countries and governments\h\h 429 00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:44,320 all over this planet to have to be accountable for\h some of their own cases so i always look at these\h\h 430 00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:51,840 international global cases as things that are just\h waiting to catch the public and and go further\h\h 431 00:47:52,800 --> 00:47:59,200 now bryce one thing i got slightly wrong in uh\h the last show we did was when we were talking\h\h 432 00:47:59,200 --> 00:48:05,520 about how the former french spy boss alain\h giulia had said that he was aware of reports\h\h 433 00:48:05,520 --> 00:48:10,960 of underwater submerged objects traveling\h greater than the speed of sand underwater\h\h 434 00:48:10,960 --> 00:48:17,760 and i said that that speed was the equivalent of\h traveling five miles in one second i was wrong and\h\h 435 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:22,720 my good friend ivan has pointed this out to me\h what i should have said was that while signed\h\h 436 00:48:22,720 --> 00:48:29,680 travels faster underwater it's not five miles\h in one second in water depending on temperature\h\h 437 00:48:29,680 --> 00:48:35,840 water density and depth it's approximately four\h times faster than the speed of sound in air\h\h 438 00:48:35,840 --> 00:48:43,600 so it's approximately four miles in four point\h seven seconds suffice to say it was extremely fast\h\h 439 00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:48,800 especially considering uh alain giulia is saying\h it was greater than the speed of sun well first\h\h 440 00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:54,720 of all i like that we do make corrections and and\h i'm sure that correction you've just made is is\h\h 441 00:48:54,720 --> 00:49:00,400 welcome but i want to underline for everyone even\h the correction let's go back to this correction\h\h 442 00:49:00,400 --> 00:49:09,360 four miles 4.7 seconds now we can all pretty\h well count to five let's do that one two\h\h 443 00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:20,320 three four five can you imagine something in that\h period of time going four miles under water under\h\h 444 00:49:20,320 --> 00:49:28,240 water underwater and the thing about it is since\h we ran that segment i've had more correspondence\h\h 445 00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:35,840 with people from shall i say navies not just the\h australian navy but other navies around the world\h\h 446 00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:42,560 and they've told me that they are aware of these\h objects known as usos underwater submerged objects\h\h 447 00:49:43,200 --> 00:49:49,440 and essentially these rapid speeds are a\h matter of record i'm told in the archives\h\h 448 00:49:49,440 --> 00:49:54,160 of your navy in the united states\h and allegedly mine here in australia\h\h 449 00:49:54,880 --> 00:50:00,960 so there's definitely mysteries there that we\h need we have not heard them we have not heard\h\h 450 00:50:00,960 --> 00:50:07,520 the last of uh underwater vehicles uh we call them\h trans medium vehicles in the in the trade i guess\h\h 451 00:50:07,520 --> 00:50:13,680 because they seem to be able to transfer from\h space into atmosphere into water and that's pretty\h\h 452 00:50:13,680 --> 00:50:17,600 uh troubling and by the way i just want to\h throw out just to come back to brazil for a\h\h 453 00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:24,640 second and underwater and tie this all together\h there's a brazilian general alfredo uchoa who uh\h\h 454 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:28,960 investigated a lot of these things and this is a\h quote that this guy laid out this is why i say if\h\h 455 00:50:28,960 --> 00:50:33,360 the brazilians decided to just start talking about\h all the things they've turned up over the years\h\h 456 00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:39,280 his quote is well others don't care about us they\h are indifferent they want to study our planet our\h\h 457 00:50:39,280 --> 00:50:44,880 living conditions our animals our plants and so on\h without paying any attention to us as responsible\h\h 458 00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:52,960 men so sometimes they can be aggressive\h so i mean we are just we're in the middle\h\h 459 00:50:52,960 --> 00:50:59,440 of an evolving story that is hard to get\h your hands around and we're trying to and\h\h 460 00:50:59,440 --> 00:51:05,360 that's the purpose of the show and we'll just\h keep doing it till we get it right and if you\h\h 461 00:51:05,360 --> 00:51:13,520 want to hear any of our previous podcasts\h or vodcasts you can go to www.need2no.today 462 00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:22,240 and you can listen to all of our now 10 episodes\h but believe me bryce and i will be back soon with\h\h 463 00:51:22,240 --> 00:51:35,840 even more on need to know happy 10th everybody and\h remember we can handle the truth people get ready 464 00:51:48,320 --> 00:52:03,840 it's our time to come of age 465 00:52:19,280 --> 00:52:31,840 now 466 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:45,840 too much to learn 467 00:52:59,120 --> 00:52:59,840 of it's 468 00:53:34,880 --> 00:53:41,840 you say it will blow my mind 469 00:53:42,560 --> 00:53:55,840 we'll change mankind you\h say things will fall apart 470 00:54:14,160 --> 00:54:23,840 now 471 00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:51,840 when we see the future 472 00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:11,760 we say this is the plan we say 473 00:55:13,920 --> 00:55:19,840 we need to know 474 00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:31,440 just a lost weather balloon an air force\h spokesman confirms tonight that this was\h\h 475 00:55:31,440 --> 00:55:47,840 nosewine saucer sports is next says 476 00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:01,840 west
