1 00:00:00,060 --> 00:00:00,720 foreign 2 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:18,000 everybody Welcome to a new episode of need\h to know we're coming to you globally today\h\h 3 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:23,700 I'm Bryce Abel I'm up north of Los Angeles and\h let me bring in my partner in crime here Ross\h\h 4 00:00:23,700 --> 00:00:28,740 coldhart who is somewhere south of Sydney how\h you doing Roscoe g'day from Down Under how are\h\h 5 00:00:28,740 --> 00:00:34,260 you bros I see you've been gallivanting around\h UFO conferences the last week it's been a busy\h\h 6 00:00:34,260 --> 00:00:41,040 last month for me but you're right yeah last week\h I was at the international UFO Congress which was\h\h 7 00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:49,680 in Mesa Arizona this week put on by Karen Broad\h and Alejandro Rojas and lots well there a lot\h\h 8 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:56,160 of good information uh being exchanged and then I\h also right after that uh did the Q a here in Los\h\h 9 00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:01,740 Angeles at LA Live with James Fox over his new uh\h moment of Contact movie so it's been a busy time\h\h 10 00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:07,620 now you gave a speech I understand that the\h Congress along with a number of other panelists\h\h 11 00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:15,420 on the issue of estimate of the situation\h will 2023 Sizzle or fizzle what did you decide 12 00:01:23,820 --> 00:01:24,060 foreign 13 00:01:26,760 --> 00:01:33,060 well you know you and I have talked about this\h enough you probably already know all this uh in\h\h 14 00:01:33,060 --> 00:01:39,540 fact we talked about it in the last episode I\h feel like uh we're gonna get some Sizzle here I\h\h 15 00:01:39,540 --> 00:01:45,300 just everything I hear from my sources and that\h you seem to hear from your sources and uh that\h\h 16 00:01:45,300 --> 00:01:51,120 what the way people are talking seems to be that\h there are some surprises ahead and I'm gonna if I\h\h 17 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:57,480 had to put my chips on the table and go all in on\h either either one I'd go in on Sizzle over fizzle\h\h 18 00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:04,500 well we do know my friend that as of late last\h year the National Defense authorization Act\h\h 19 00:02:04,500 --> 00:02:12,540 of the United States Congress required that no\h later than the 31st of October 2022 and annually\h\h 20 00:02:12,540 --> 00:02:18,840 for the next four years on the director shell in\h consultation with the Secretary of Defense submit\h\h 21 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:25,140 to the approach appropriate Congressional\h committee's report on unidentified aerial\h\h 22 00:02:25,140 --> 00:02:32,640 phenomena so the big question is what is that\h report going to say you are really uh singing\h\h 23 00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:37,200 from my prayer book my friend because uh you\h know I've been writing this trend since July\h\h 24 00:02:37,200 --> 00:02:42,780 when they've when we first were talking about it\h we got the calendar out and said October 31st is\h\h 25 00:02:42,780 --> 00:02:47,040 when they'll put it out because that's the last\h one they had to put out they could put it out on\h\h 26 00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:53,280 as late as June 25th 2021 and that's the day they\h put it out so I think we can bet for October 31st\h\h 27 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:59,580 and uh I a couple of comments one that's Halloween\h so that's kind kind of interesting a nice surprise\h\h 28 00:02:59,580 --> 00:03:04,980 there and maybe we'll get candy as well who knows\h and then the the second part of that is of course\h\h 29 00:03:04,980 --> 00:03:12,240 that it is eight days before the U.S midterms so\h if something actually major comes out in that uh\h\h 30 00:03:12,240 --> 00:03:18,060 it could be uh it could be political it could get\h into various debates I mean certainly some of the\h\h 31 00:03:18,060 --> 00:03:24,660 candidates the the October surprise well that's\h what you wisely speculated that is the train I've\h\h 32 00:03:24,660 --> 00:03:30,060 been riding on my friend so you actually have\h heard from a few people who uh you know because\h\h 33 00:03:30,060 --> 00:03:36,000 listen up until now whenever I start blathering\h on about the October surprise I get told by people\h\h 34 00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:41,520 hey settle down settle down you know maybe they'll\h postpone it it might not be that big a deal and\h\h 35 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:47,640 Etc and I keep thinking well given where they\h were in the last one from June 25th of 2021\h\h 36 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:55,140 the October 31st 2022 is going to have to advance\h that debate somewhat and I keep thinking it could\h\h 37 00:03:55,140 --> 00:04:00,540 have something that could be kind of memorable in\h it what are you hearing well Mike frankly a dead\h\h 38 00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:06,300 rat a flaccid dead rat would be better than what\h was delivered in June 2021 I mean really it wasn't\h\h 39 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:11,760 much but I I am actually hearing that things could\h be interesting at the end of this month that there\h\h 40 00:04:11,760 --> 00:04:17,820 may be something coming up but look I have to\h admit I've been wavering between optimism and\h\h 41 00:04:17,820 --> 00:04:24,540 dark pessimism recently uh I'm I'm very worried\h that because of the international situation the\h\h 42 00:04:24,540 --> 00:04:29,580 deteriorating economic situation there are\h so many things coming on the agenda that are\h\h 43 00:04:29,580 --> 00:04:36,180 distracting our opinion leaders in Congress from\h making a a decision about what to do as far as\h\h 44 00:04:36,180 --> 00:04:45,240 Congressional hearings go and I'm still I suppose\h optimistic but I urge the belief that there are\h\h 45 00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:50,700 forces that are incredibly powerful who are going\h to try and yes there will be whistleblowers but\h\h 46 00:04:50,700 --> 00:04:55,320 they're going to try and keep it all in camera\h in private Committee in the Congress and also\h\h 47 00:04:55,320 --> 00:05:00,600 as our friend Chris sharp as pointed out in an\h article that he did for his Liberation times and\h\h 48 00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:06,540 the Daily Mail on the last week or so um they've\h already been hearings you know there are already\h\h 49 00:05:06,540 --> 00:05:12,660 Witnesses who've come forward and Chris is punting\h in his article basically saying that he thinks uh\h\h 50 00:05:12,660 --> 00:05:18,480 from what he's hearing from his sources that\h we are talking about Revelations of possible\h\h 51 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:23,280 crash retrievals and that there might in fact be\h admissions being made if not already made about\h\h 52 00:05:23,280 --> 00:05:30,360 crash retrievals and back engineering programs\h so I'm optimistic cautiously optimistic for the\h\h 53 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,220 end of this month that drives with some of what\h I'm hearing and I just want to differentiate when\h\h 54 00:05:35,220 --> 00:05:42,180 you said you were you thought the June 25th 2021\h report that was released was not such a big deal\h\h 55 00:05:43,020 --> 00:05:50,520 um I I I want to make clear something there was\h a May 17th of 2022 hearing that I for sure uh\h\h 56 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:58,380 agree with you was a complete flaccid piece of\h wet lettuce and and not a good uh you know not\h\h 57 00:05:58,380 --> 00:06:04,500 a good indicator of where we're going but I really\h do want to stand up for the June 25th 2021 report\h\h 58 00:06:04,500 --> 00:06:09,180 I've read it again recently and while you know\h listen I would have liked it if they would have\h\h 59 00:06:09,180 --> 00:06:13,800 just said and we got a wreckage here and this\h happened then and they didn't do that but again\h\h 60 00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:21,660 that report did something that was Radical for\h the U.S government they were real and it said\h\h 61 00:06:21,660 --> 00:06:26,520 we don't make them so I'll give you that that is\h significant and more importantly it admitted that\h\h 62 00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:34,500 it could not prosaically explain the vast majority\h 143 out of 144 events that they were looking at\h\h 63 00:06:34,500 --> 00:06:39,660 solving mainly military sightings so yeah I'll\h give you that but I'm still I guess in the\h\h 64 00:06:39,660 --> 00:06:45,420 context of what you and I know about the history\h of the phenomenon it does seem irksome that here\h\h 65 00:06:45,420 --> 00:06:51,720 we are 77 years on from the end of World War II\h and we're still arguing about some pretty silly\h\h 66 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:56,100 things about whether or not the Congress should\h be disclosing it so I'm I'm looking in terms of\h\h 67 00:06:56,100 --> 00:07:02,940 the last century frankly and what really is known\h on the public record in official documents and in\h\h 68 00:07:02,940 --> 00:07:08,580 historical records and how there is this cognitive\h dissonance between what we know from the history\h\h 69 00:07:08,580 --> 00:07:14,400 and and what's being admitted why has it taken\h so long what do they know that they don't want\h\h 70 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:19,800 to reveal this is why we're such good friends\h because I love anybody that can drop the the line\h\h 71 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:25,560 cognitive dissonance in a sentence and I love that\h that because it is cognitive dissonance it's where\h\h 72 00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:31,620 you know something to be true but you're actually\h being told that it's not and and you just can't\h\h 73 00:07:31,620 --> 00:07:37,080 square that thing listen I want to just go back\h for a moment to the iufoc where I spoke last week\h\h 74 00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:41,820 that you we started talking about there were a\h lot of people there that were you know kind of\h\h 75 00:07:41,820 --> 00:07:47,220 interesting people Brian Bender from Politico\h Alejandro Rojas Micah Hanks from the debrief\h\h 76 00:07:47,220 --> 00:07:56,340 uh Michael Masters um was there uh so was uh John\h Ramirez Travis Walton David Marler James Fox Lynn\h\h 77 00:07:56,340 --> 00:08:01,320 kataya I mean a lot of interesting people and the\h thing that I took away from it or two things one\h\h 78 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:07,740 attendance was way down and I think that's because\h the um the pandemic has just gotten people out\h\h 79 00:08:07,740 --> 00:08:11,280 of the habit of getting out of the house so\h it's going to take some rebuilding for them\h\h 80 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:16,260 they've had to be virtual the last two years but\h I thought there was a lot of energy in the rooms\h\h 81 00:08:16,260 --> 00:08:22,380 that were there because people know that we're on\h the fifth anniversary uh in two months of that New\h\h 82 00:08:22,380 --> 00:08:27,420 York Times times reporting that kind of you know\h put us all out there and got us going so I found\h\h 83 00:08:27,420 --> 00:08:33,900 a lot of energy there and I I think that a lot of\h people are are very similar to what you and I are\h\h 84 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:41,580 doing we we know enough to feel that there is the\h possibility of huge change radical change and at\h\h 85 00:08:41,580 --> 00:08:47,880 the same time we hear the Rumblings that there is\h a pushback going on among the people who actually\h\h 86 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:55,080 are you know running uh the situation so yeah\h it's uh it's a it's a tough choice for everybody\h\h 87 00:08:55,080 --> 00:09:02,220 but again there is reason for some optimism and\h that's kind of what I want to put out here today\h\h 88 00:09:02,220 --> 00:09:07,680 there's another anniversary too it's not just\h the fifth anniversary of the New York Times 2017\h\h 89 00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:14,400 Story coming up but it's also coming up to the\h well actually it's the 20th anniversary of the\h\h 90 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:22,980 Admiral Wilson memo the ewd notes the purported\h meeting between Admiral Tom Wilson of the DIA\h\h 91 00:09:22,980 --> 00:09:30,600 formerly of the DIA and Dr Eric Davis in a car\h park outside EG and G's headquarters in Las Vegas\h\h 92 00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:36,840 um did it happen we're going to get more into that\h a bit later aren't we Bryce it's like a spy novel\h\h 93 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:42,000 The Wilson Davis memo and we keep talking about\h it and I have to say I was on a panel that was\h\h 94 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:49,020 moderated by Brian Bender of Politico and it\h had Alejandro and Micah Hanks and myself and\h\h 95 00:09:49,020 --> 00:09:54,780 Michael Masters on and the most contentious part\h of that panel was uh Brian asking everybody what\h\h 96 00:09:54,780 --> 00:10:01,620 they thought about the Wilson Davis memo Brian\h uh thought it was fake uh Alejandro thought\h\h 97 00:10:01,620 --> 00:10:07,680 he was skeptical um so there there was some\h difference of opinion on it I think there's\h\h 98 00:10:07,680 --> 00:10:12,960 a lot to it and that's why uh folks in in the next\h segment we're going to be talking about it in fact\h\h 99 00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:17,700 Ross you and I are going to do a dramatic interp\h of it because it's been accused of reading like a\h\h 100 00:10:17,700 --> 00:10:22,680 screenplay sometimes so we feel like if it reads\h like a screenplay maybe a couple of hack actors\h\h 101 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:28,140 like us should try to talk about it listen there's\h just a little more housekeeping we should do\h\h 102 00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:33,840 um while we're you know while we're in our first\h uh segment here just because there's so many\h\h 103 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:41,100 interesting things that are going on right now um\h our mutual friend Ben Hansen has broken a story\h\h 104 00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:47,640 about the so-called racetrack UFOs and those are\h UFOs that have been seen by numerous uh commercial\h\h 105 00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:55,500 pilots in August of of this year and he's uh he's\h done a deep dive into it the debrief just today\h\h 106 00:10:55,500 --> 00:11:01,500 did their own article talking about it and so uh\h just hats off to Ben for some you know good solid\h\h 107 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:08,700 um investigative reporting we like to hear that\h and can I can I also mention well before we go\h\h 108 00:11:08,700 --> 00:11:13,140 on from that one can I also mention it's very\h significant what Ben's revealed because one\h\h 109 00:11:13,140 --> 00:11:18,060 of the things that I think his investigation\h highlights is that there's whilst there's now\h\h 110 00:11:18,060 --> 00:11:24,000 a requirement that mandates that military Pilots\h come forward with their sightings of uaps there's\h\h 111 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:29,880 no such equivalent with commercial pilots and so\h what I thought was really heartening was that Ryan\h\h 112 00:11:29,880 --> 00:11:37,320 Graves our mutual friend the ex fa-18 pilot who\h we interviewed a few weeks ago um he's part of the\h\h 113 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:43,920 American Institute of Aeronautics and astronautics\h and it has established three committees to study\h\h 114 00:11:43,920 --> 00:11:50,760 uaps and how these occur incursions are affecting\h pilot and passenger safety and to coordinate with\h\h 115 00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:55,680 government agencies and international researchers\h and so it's actually quite an exciting development\h\h 116 00:11:55,680 --> 00:12:03,660 that a reputable International body like the\h aiaa which is a peak organizer for Aeronautics\h\h 117 00:12:03,660 --> 00:12:09,660 and astronautics is actually engaging and taking\h this issue seriously and I I think it's only to\h\h 118 00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:16,620 be applauded and Ryan's working with Ravi\h koparapu a planetary scientist at Nasa and\h\h 119 00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:22,560 um they're damn serious about getting to the\h bottom of this and collecting data which I think\h\h 120 00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:30,660 is an absolutely key issue it it not only is it\h key Ross but what I like about that story and uh\h\h 121 00:12:30,660 --> 00:12:36,480 some of the other organizations from the Galileo\h project to the Enigma folks and to uh you know\h\h 122 00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:40,620 just all of the things that we've been talking\h about that world that's part of the reason for\h\h 123 00:12:40,620 --> 00:12:47,520 my optimism it is that we are no longer must\h wait only for the government or any government\h\h 124 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:53,460 to tell us something about what's real we can do\h a lot of This research for ourselves and so for\h\h 125 00:12:53,460 --> 00:12:59,640 example these commercial pilots and the racetrack\h UFO situation some of them are still worried about\h\h 126 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:06,000 stigma they're still worried that if they could\h even find somebody to report this to that they\h\h 127 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:12,840 would be uh made fun of or possibly grounded and\h you know I think it's 2022. it's a little late in\h\h 128 00:13:12,840 --> 00:13:18,900 the game to be making our commercial pilots afraid\h to tell people about things that they actually see\h\h 129 00:13:18,900 --> 00:13:23,460 with their own eyes and with their own equipment\h so hopefully we're going to be able to put those\h\h 130 00:13:23,460 --> 00:13:28,740 kind of things to bed and now we would be we\h would be remiss Bryce in not acknowledging our\h\h 131 00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:35,820 friend and colleague James Fox's yeah fantastic\h premiere of moment of contact which I think you\h\h 132 00:13:35,820 --> 00:13:40,440 were the co-host of you actually interviewed James\h on stage didn't you can you tell us a bit about\h\h 133 00:13:40,440 --> 00:13:47,460 that thank you for bringing that up it's uh James\h was not only at the iufoc but then as soon as I\h\h 134 00:13:47,460 --> 00:13:54,420 left that uh he had the world premiere of his\h moment of contact film uh here in Los Angeles\h\h 135 00:13:54,420 --> 00:14:02,220 at the LA Live Regal Theater which is a lovely\h impressive giant uh theater and it was really\h\h 136 00:14:02,220 --> 00:14:09,060 astonishing to watch his film which I had seen as\h you had on our computers at home this one was you\h\h 137 00:14:09,060 --> 00:14:15,180 know gigantic I mean it was like watching it on\h an IMAX really really stellar and um yeah I did\h\h 138 00:14:15,180 --> 00:14:19,920 I introduced James who introduced his film and\h then the film came on and then afterwards we did\h\h 139 00:14:19,920 --> 00:14:27,060 uh the Q a and what I thought was fun about the Q\h a is that a lot of times in Hollywood the studios\h\h 140 00:14:27,060 --> 00:14:31,620 when they have a movie come out we'll just have\h you know somebody who maybe has seen the movie\h\h 141 00:14:31,620 --> 00:14:36,240 doesn't really know that much about it certainly\h isn't there to pull anything really radical out\h\h 142 00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:43,800 of anybody other than some stories from the Set uh\h instead James got me and I've seen the film twice\h\h 143 00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:48,300 and I know a few things about it and I thought\h it was very interesting to sit down with them\h\h 144 00:14:48,300 --> 00:14:53,160 and and pull apart some of the the interesting\h things that are in it for those of you who don't\h\h 145 00:14:53,160 --> 00:15:00,840 know uh moment of contact is James's passion James\h Fox's passion project it deals with the Virginia\h\h 146 00:15:01,500 --> 00:15:12,660 uh UFO crash and retrieval with bodies and all of\h that in Virginia Brazil in 1996. two years after\h\h 147 00:15:12,660 --> 00:15:22,020 the uh you know the case in uh is it Rwanda\h is not Rwanda in Zimbabwe excuse me yeah so\h\h 148 00:15:22,020 --> 00:15:28,080 uh a fascinating case and and James literally\h went to Brazil and talked to all the witnesses\h\h 149 00:15:28,080 --> 00:15:35,700 and uh it literally is as the film suggests the\h uh Roswell of Brazil so it was fascinating for\h\h 150 00:15:35,700 --> 00:15:40,680 him to do it because it literally proves the\h point of why you and I do this podcast okay\h\h 151 00:15:40,680 --> 00:15:45,360 you and I are doing it you're in Australia and\h I'm here in the United States and yeah we have\h\h 152 00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:50,160 some technical issues from time to time because\h we're trying to do a streaming podcast but the\h\h 153 00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:55,020 the underlying reality of what we're trying to do\h is to say this isn't a United States problem and\h\h 154 00:15:55,020 --> 00:16:01,440 the United States is not in charge of it uh the\h the world is dealing with this issue right now\h\h 155 00:16:01,440 --> 00:16:08,520 and uh that includes your country and it includes\h Brazil and um anyway for people that would uh like\h\h 156 00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:13,320 to know a little bit more about it's a good\h watch it's not in theaters it's streaming\h\h 157 00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:19,080 it's called moment of contact it's the James Fox\h follow-up To His Brilliant film The phenomenon\h\h 158 00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:27,300 now coming up next I'll need to know we\h finally delve into the Intriguing mystery\h\h 159 00:16:27,300 --> 00:16:36,900 of the so-called ewd notes the Admiral\h Wilson memo we go Broadway can't wait\h\h 160 00:16:52,500 --> 00:16:57,720 welcome back to need to know now as Bryce\h mentioned at the UFO Congress one of the\h\h 161 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:03,900 issues that came up in the panel that he was a\h co-panelist on is the Admiral Wilson memo and for\h\h 162 00:17:03,900 --> 00:17:09,960 those of us who aren't aware of this document\h it's an alleged record of a conversation that\h\h 163 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:18,000 took place between Dr Eric Davis a renowned and\h well-respected Aerospace physicist who works for\h\h 164 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,940 the Aerospace Corporation now and Admiral Tom\h Wilson who was at the time the immediate past\h\h 165 00:17:23,940 --> 00:17:28,920 former director of the defense intelligence\h agency of the United States defense department\h\h 166 00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:36,960 and in that memo there are recorded alleged\h transcripts of the most extraordinary conversation\h\h 167 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:43,680 and the big issue that Bryce and I have been\h discussing for many many moons is just how\h\h 168 00:17:43,680 --> 00:17:49,260 real is that document because a lot of people of\h course have suggested haven't they Bryce that this\h\h 169 00:17:49,260 --> 00:17:54,720 is just a screenplay and I think even our friend\h Brian Bender was skeptical at the conference you\h\h 170 00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:59,760 were at last weekend suggesting that it you know\h it really does it does read a little bit like a\h\h 171 00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:04,620 screenplay you know before we get deeper into\h it let me ask a couple of questions here that\h\h 172 00:18:04,620 --> 00:18:10,500 maybe you know the answer to and I honestly I in\h preparation for this uh episode we're doing not\h\h 173 00:18:10,500 --> 00:18:15,660 only did I read your fine book in plain sight and\h read your chapter on this but I also read Richard\h\h 174 00:18:15,660 --> 00:18:22,020 Dolan's original uh article about it listen to him\h talk about it in one of his podcasts and actually\h\h 175 00:18:22,020 --> 00:18:27,780 reread the memo so I feel all tuned up if you will\h but there were two things that struck me and I I\h\h 176 00:18:27,780 --> 00:18:36,780 really feel we should get get to them one is this\h is these are the notes of uh Dr Eric Davis and\h\h 177 00:18:36,780 --> 00:18:43,080 these are the most complete notes I've ever seen\h and he obviously didn't take them in real time and\h\h 178 00:18:43,080 --> 00:18:50,280 I know that my memory uh being what it is I could\h never have done what he did here Ross do we know\h\h 179 00:18:50,280 --> 00:18:57,540 if Eric Davis has a photographic memory because\h friends of Erica have actually vouched for the\h\h 180 00:18:57,540 --> 00:19:02,460 fact that he does have the most extraordinary\h memory but as you'll see in the course of our\h\h 181 00:19:02,460 --> 00:19:08,580 analysis by reading this document I suspect there\h was a tape rolling I suspect that there was a\h\h 182 00:19:08,580 --> 00:19:14,520 digital recorder so let me roll back a little bit\h let me just ask you one before you do though I\h\h 183 00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:18,840 just want to ask this other question that I feel\h you might know because you really researched it\h\h 184 00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:24,480 what's the provenance of the chain of title\h this thing was found in Apollo 14 astronaut\h\h 185 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:32,520 Edgar Mitchell's garage how did it get there okay\h Edgar Mitchell was part of the National Institute\h\h 186 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:38,820 of Discovery Science which was established by\h Robert Bigelow the Aerospace entrepreneur and\h\h 187 00:19:38,820 --> 00:19:45,300 he funded Bigelow funded uh Edgar to be part of\h the scientific advisory panel for nids when it\h\h 188 00:19:45,300 --> 00:19:51,600 was doing its investigations into uaps and frankly\h the Paranormal that places like Skinwalker Ranch\h\h 189 00:19:52,260 --> 00:20:00,180 but it all goes back a lot earlier to a meeting\h that took place in 1997 between Dr Stephen Greer\h\h 190 00:20:00,180 --> 00:20:06,780 of the um uh what does he call himself these\h days the disclosure project a controversial\h\h 191 00:20:06,780 --> 00:20:12,480 figure in ufology but I will credit him that\h he absolutely right that this meeting took\h\h 192 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:18,300 place so he turned up at the Pentagon and had\h a meeting with the then deputy director of the\h\h 193 00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:25,440 DIA Admiral Tom Wilson and attending that\h meeting was a woman called Sherry adamiak\h\h 194 00:20:25,440 --> 00:20:30,960 who was one of Edgar Mitchell's co-co colleagues\h on the disclosure project uh Edgar Mitchell the\h\h 195 00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:35,580 Apollo 14 astronaut who probably got them in\h the door at the DIA because he's an astronaut\h\h 196 00:20:35,580 --> 00:20:39,480 and people led astronauts in the door and\h circumstances where they otherwise wouldn't\h\h 197 00:20:40,980 --> 00:20:47,340 um and uh there was also Commander Willard Miller\h who was a former military colleague of um Admiral\h\h 198 00:20:47,340 --> 00:20:54,180 Tom Wilson who facilitated the introduction to\h the Admiral and in that meeting it was put by\h\h 199 00:20:54,180 --> 00:21:01,020 Greer to the Admiral that there were things being\h concealed inside the Department of Defense that he\h\h 200 00:21:01,020 --> 00:21:07,140 ought properly to be investigating and if we are\h to believe the Admiral Wilson memo what happened\h\h 201 00:21:07,140 --> 00:21:13,080 as a result of that meeting was what is detailed\h in the transcripts of this so-called Admiral\h\h 202 00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:21,540 Wilson memo the ewd notes and they record what\h Admiral Tom Wilson told allegedly Dr Eric Davis\h\h 203 00:21:21,540 --> 00:21:32,760 in 2002 August 2002 almost 20 years ago to the\h day in a car park at E G and G the apocryphal\h\h 204 00:21:32,760 --> 00:21:40,140 organization that does a lot of logistics for Area\h 51 and they allegedly sat in the back of a car\h\h 205 00:21:40,140 --> 00:21:48,420 in the EG and G car park in Las Vegas and\h had this conversation and and by the way uh\h\h 206 00:21:48,420 --> 00:21:55,380 you do an injustice to our anniversary it wasn't\h August it was October 16th of oh sorry October\h\h 207 00:21:55,380 --> 00:22:01,080 you're absolutely right this literally is the 20th\h anniversary week so uh Happy Anniversary Wilson\h\h 208 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:08,100 Davis memo and Ross and I we did not bake a cake\h um because neither of us are good at baking cakes\h\h 209 00:22:08,100 --> 00:22:17,820 but we did get our respective documents out and\h highlight them now admittedly Ross uh last episode\h\h 210 00:22:17,820 --> 00:22:23,640 I said maybe we need to do a dramatic interp of\h this thing and read it and foolishly we've decided\h\h 211 00:22:23,640 --> 00:22:30,060 to do exactly that um not read the entire thing\h folks but there it it has been accused of reading\h\h 212 00:22:30,060 --> 00:22:37,080 like a screenplay like like we said so um I guess\h the luck of the draw is that I will be playing\h\h 213 00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:44,640 is so ridiculous I'll be playing Eric Davis uh\h today and Ross you'll be playing Thomas Wilson\h\h 214 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:52,500 April Tom Wilson folks just uh if you've got\h your own we're starting on page eight here\h\h 215 00:22:53,400 --> 00:23:01,320 um there was a lot of stuff that Ross uh you\h know brought up earlier um that precedes it but\h\h 216 00:23:01,320 --> 00:23:06,000 this is kind of the the tone of the thing and we\h just thought you know it might be interesting to\h\h 217 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:11,400 be driving in a car or relaxing watching your\h YouTube or whatever and just sort of hear it\h\h 218 00:23:11,400 --> 00:23:16,680 read out loud and and ask yourself you know\h for your own purposes does it sound authentic\h\h 219 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:25,200 so I'm going to start with Eric Davis on page\h eight who says so what special access program\h\h 220 00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:34,200 compartment did you find this in core secret\h won't say code name again won't say core Secret\h\h 221 00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:40,320 who was the project contractor or U.S\h government agency that runs the program\h\h 222 00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:49,620 an aerospace technology contractor one\h of the top ones in the U.S who are secret\h\h 223 00:23:50,280 --> 00:24:00,240 can't tell a defense contractor yes the best of\h them intelligence too in their corporate portfolio\h\h 224 00:24:01,140 --> 00:24:11,160 give a hint sorry no what happened when you\h found the contractor I made several calls end\h\h 225 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:18,720 of May 97 first to Paul Mike and Perry their\h senior defense Department officials to confirm\h\h 226 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:25,500 I had the right contractor and program\h manager to talk to did they confirm yeah\h\h 227 00:24:26,820 --> 00:24:34,260 then made three calls end of May 1997 to the\h program manager one of them conference call with\h\h 228 00:24:34,260 --> 00:24:40,140 security director and corporate attorney confusion\h on their part as to why I was looking for them and\h\h 229 00:24:40,140 --> 00:24:46,320 what I wanted from them or wanted to know about\h very testy tone from all of them what do you mean\h\h 230 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:55,140 they were agitated about my calling surprised\h by call what you asked them yeah what was that\h\h 231 00:24:55,140 --> 00:25:03,540 what words I told I read their program record\h in the uzdet the office of the under secretary\h\h 232 00:25:03,540 --> 00:25:09,540 for defense something or other in technology\h special programs record group and wanted to\h\h 233 00:25:09,540 --> 00:25:16,500 know about their crashed UFO program what their\h role in that was what they had also asked if\h\h 234 00:25:16,500 --> 00:25:24,840 they knew of mj-12 or some such organization\h code relating to Crashed recovered UFO craft\h\h 235 00:25:26,220 --> 00:25:33,060 reaction on phone to that yes that's who I\h talked to before I called them so I told them\h\h 236 00:25:33,060 --> 00:25:39,420 and they weren't happy with that answer you mean\h about Perry and Paul Etc oh no I didn't tell him\h\h 237 00:25:39,420 --> 00:25:45,480 I talked to those guys who else do you talk to\h there were the other program managers I called\h\h 238 00:25:46,260 --> 00:25:52,740 you you didn't mention that before I thought\h I said something who were they three programs\h\h 239 00:25:52,740 --> 00:25:57,840 who said they weren't what who I was looking\h for four programs that referred me back to\h\h 240 00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:04,860 the present threesome why the latter because they\h were part of it in different compartments placed\h\h 241 00:26:04,860 --> 00:26:09,720 in different layers of the compartments pyramid\h split up to do different things or parts of it\h\h 242 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:14,460 they're all they're all in same records group\h but their connection to each other is not obvious\h\h 243 00:26:14,460 --> 00:26:23,940 typical thing but unusual in records what then I\h told threesome I wanted a formal briefing a tour\h\h 244 00:26:23,940 --> 00:26:30,660 Etc it was exploiting my regulatory Authority\h as deputy director Dia assistant joint Chief of\h\h 245 00:26:30,660 --> 00:26:38,640 Staff J2 told them my not being briefed was\h oversight they needed to correct I demanded 246 00:26:40,980 --> 00:26:46,500 and by the way I'm enjoying this so much Ross\h because I've got the easy part all I have to\h\h 247 00:26:46,500 --> 00:26:52,320 do is ask questions but um actually you have\h still more from Thomas Wilson There sure they\h\h 248 00:26:52,320 --> 00:26:57,660 needed to discuss this his demand so hung\h up got called two days later and they said\h\h 249 00:26:57,660 --> 00:27:02,520 they don't want to talk on phone and arrange\h for face-to-face meeting at their facility\h\h 250 00:27:03,420 --> 00:27:11,460 did you go yes ten days later mid-june or\h so flew out there met in their conference\h\h 251 00:27:11,460 --> 00:27:19,380 room in their secret vault three of them\h show up the three guys with whom you had\h\h 252 00:27:19,380 --> 00:27:27,540 the telecon yes same three security director\h NSA retired a CI counterintelligence expert\h\h 253 00:27:27,540 --> 00:27:34,980 program director corporate attorney called\h themselves the watch committee or Gatekeepers\h\h 254 00:27:35,700 --> 00:27:43,380 why why that phraser name I asked they said they\h were formed out of necessity to protect themselves\h\h 255 00:27:43,380 --> 00:27:48,540 after a near disaster in the past almost blew\h their cover something to do with an agreement\h\h 256 00:27:48,540 --> 00:27:55,500 that was reached with a couple of Pentagon sesior\h executive Services overseeing sap special access\h\h 257 00:27:55,500 --> 00:28:02,760 programs in those days we're vague about when\h that was well what was this let me finish they\h\h 258 00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:10,380 said years ago in past an audit investigation led\h to them and it wasn't supposed to nearly outed a\h\h 259 00:28:10,380 --> 00:28:15,960 battle a nasty back and forth between them and\h the investigator and his Pentagon Chief ensued\h\h 260 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:22,500 like a tug of war for program transparency they\h told me money was the issue their hiding out\h\h 261 00:28:22,500 --> 00:28:28,560 became the other issue some kind of threat was\h leveled to blow the lid off them so they backed\h\h 262 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:36,180 down and let the investigator in to complete his\h job they work very hard to keep the program hidden\h\h 263 00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:44,040 so what happened with that he was officially\h briefed given a tour and shown their program\h\h 264 00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:55,440 did they show them a craft or Hardware they said\h was alien or from a UFO didn't say more about\h\h 265 00:28:55,440 --> 00:29:00,060 that said that after that episode a formal\h agreement was struck with Pentagon people\h\h 266 00:29:00,060 --> 00:29:06,180 the special Access program oversight committee\h sapoc to prevent this in future didn't want to\h\h 267 00:29:06,180 --> 00:29:12,000 repeat special criteria were established in\h agreement a special circumstance that must\h\h 268 00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:19,140 meet rigorous access criteria set by contractor\h committee nowhere no U.S government Personnel to\h\h 269 00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:25,080 gain access unless they meet the criteria to be\h administered by contractor committee the program\h\h 270 00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:31,380 director the attorney the security director\h irregardless of the tickets and position U.S\h\h 271 00:29:31,380 --> 00:29:39,360 government Personnel possessed literally their\h way or the highway so what are the criteria I\h\h 272 00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:46,200 asked for that and they refused to give an answer\h I was mad implication is now to me they operate\h\h 273 00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:53,100 without official oversight or any justification\h politically dangerous place to be the threesome\h\h 274 00:29:53,100 --> 00:29:58,740 we're concerned with whom I'd talk to at the\h Pentagon or elsewhere by phone fax or email\h\h 275 00:29:58,740 --> 00:30:04,620 they wanted an accounting of the conversations\h concerned about new exposure the purpose of the\h\h 276 00:30:04,620 --> 00:30:13,140 meeting was to tell me this what that they\h weren't going to let me in the door why they\h\h 277 00:30:13,140 --> 00:30:20,460 said my tickets were all confirmed and valid but I\h was not on the bigot list my tickets alone weren't\h\h 278 00:30:20,460 --> 00:30:29,460 enough I didn't meet the special criteria so\h need to know authorization was not being granted\h\h 279 00:30:29,460 --> 00:30:35,760 went back and forth with them over these points\h primarily with security director and attorney 280 00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:44,280 by the way just um I love the fact that need\h to know makes an appearance in the documents\h\h 281 00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:49,980 but enough of them to give us a mention wasn't it\h on you go Thomas argued more they wouldn't accept\h\h 282 00:30:49,980 --> 00:30:54,840 my arguments that they fell under my statutory\h oversight and Regulatory Authority as deputy\h\h 283 00:30:54,840 --> 00:31:03,300 director Dia under purview for my right to have\h need to know oversight audit justification issues\h\h 284 00:31:03,300 --> 00:31:10,080 etc etc Regulatory and statutory Authority is\h deputy director Dia wasn't relevant or pertinent\h\h 285 00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:15,480 to the nature of their program then they pulled\h out their bigot list to convince me otherwise\h\h 286 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:26,760 several pages long dated 1990 updated 1993. who\h who was on it did you recognize any names that is\h\h 287 00:31:26,760 --> 00:31:35,760 core Secret willing to say that most were program\h employees names and titles job titles civilians\h\h 288 00:31:35,760 --> 00:31:43,440 didn't recognize any military personnel could be\h there any politicians no no White House names no\h\h 289 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:51,720 president no Congressional people no Congressional\h staffers any of them in the Clinton or bush senior\h\h 290 00:31:51,720 --> 00:31:58,800 administrations no but a handful of names were\h Pentagon individuals I recognized a few from the\h\h 291 00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:06,480 office of the under secretary defense what's a\h in Australia do you know uh it's as you said it\h\h 292 00:32:06,480 --> 00:32:11,520 I don't know what the a is but the t is technology\h uh yeah something in technology one from another\h\h 293 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:19,440 department another at least NSC who was Pentagon\h SES employee program managers said they were not\h\h 294 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:26,160 any weapons program not any intelligence program\h not any special op or Logistics program doesn't\h\h 295 00:32:26,160 --> 00:32:34,020 fit these categories I asked them what they\h were then loud grow from program manager\h\h 296 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:43,560 security director and attorney say it's okay to\h say it say what drum roll here boys this is big\h\h 297 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:49,200 I I I I I don't have my special effects but in\h the final edit we can put that down here we go\h\h 298 00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:58,680 they were a reverse engineering program\h something recovered years ago in the past\h\h 299 00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:06,180 technological Hardware was recovered so I\h thought they meant recovered Soviet Chinese Etc\h\h 300 00:33:06,180 --> 00:33:12,600 hardware and reverse engineering like a missile or\h intelligence platform or aircraft actually came to\h\h 301 00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:17,340 the meeting expecting to find a sensitive foreign\h collection and reverse engineering operation\h\h 302 00:33:17,340 --> 00:33:24,780 thought UFOs was used as a cover for that so I\h said that and they said they weren't that either\h\h 303 00:33:26,580 --> 00:33:36,900 they had program manager talking a craft an intact\h craft they believed could fly space air water\h\h 304 00:33:36,900 --> 00:33:44,160 Dimensions was it from overseas or not they said\h no could not be not possible why I asked where\h\h 305 00:33:44,160 --> 00:33:51,240 did it come from program manager said they didn't\h know where it was from they had some ideas on this\h\h 306 00:33:51,840 --> 00:34:03,240 it was technology that was not of this Earth not\h made by man not made by human hands said they were\h\h 307 00:34:03,240 --> 00:34:08,940 trying to understand and exploit technology their\h program was going on for years and years with very\h\h 308 00:34:08,940 --> 00:34:16,500 slow progress agonizingly slow with little or no\h success painful lack of collaboration to get help\h\h 309 00:34:16,500 --> 00:34:22,560 from outside community of experts and Facilities\h to assist effort must remain isolated and use\h\h 310 00:34:22,560 --> 00:34:29,220 own facilities and cleared Personnel tough\h environment to work about 400 to 800 bigot\h\h 311 00:34:29,220 --> 00:34:37,140 list count workers varying in number with funding\h or Personnel changes Miller questions asked these\h\h 312 00:34:37,140 --> 00:34:43,800 are the questions from Commander Miller Roswell\h craft bodies autopsies Holloman Air Force Base\h\h 313 00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:50,280 landing mj-12 and leaked documents Lonnie Zamora\h and bent Waters RAF bent Waters in England\h\h 314 00:34:52,020 --> 00:34:59,520 this is his answer they were mum declined to\h discuss these Tom Wilson I threatened to go to\h\h 315 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:06,540 sapoc to complain gain access to their program\h they said go ahead do what you must I was angry\h\h 316 00:35:06,540 --> 00:35:12,060 because they defied my authority to be read\h in with good logical reason wouldn't budge\h\h 317 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:19,500 their tone was very testy tourists throughout the\h conversation now I have a new line here but I just\h\h 318 00:35:19,500 --> 00:35:25,380 have to stop us for just a second that was more\h than a mouthful uh first of all nice rendition I\h\h 319 00:35:25,380 --> 00:35:32,040 wanted to just point out one thing to people um\h there is one line in this uh document that has\h\h 320 00:35:32,040 --> 00:35:40,140 been put in italics by uh Dr will uh Dr Davis\h who apparently uh authored this and it is the\h\h 321 00:35:40,140 --> 00:35:48,780 line that Ross said earlier it was technology\h that was not of this Earth not made by man not\h\h 322 00:35:48,780 --> 00:35:55,080 by human hands I mean there it is in black and\h white in this document so basically the reason\h\h 323 00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:00,900 people are fussing and fighting about whether this\h document is real or not real is that if it's real\h\h 324 00:36:00,900 --> 00:36:07,740 well there you go there it is in black and white\h uh if it's not real then you know whatever also uh\h\h 325 00:36:07,740 --> 00:36:15,060 because I'm a a kind of an Aficionado of the MJ 12\h documents to actually see them mentioned in here\h\h 326 00:36:15,060 --> 00:36:21,060 and not a disparaging way but isn't authentic way\h really was quite a shock to me so with having said\h\h 327 00:36:21,060 --> 00:36:29,700 that let me get to the next line from Eric Davis\h who said what was the outcome meeting broke up\h\h 328 00:36:29,700 --> 00:36:36,360 I returned to Washington what about corso and by\h that we're talking about Philip Corso the author\h\h 329 00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:42,060 of The Day After Roswell which frankly I believe\h had come out right around the time that 1997\h\h 330 00:36:42,060 --> 00:36:50,040 briefing uh was going on in Washington so what\h about Corso Greer talked about Corso on April 9th\h\h 331 00:36:50,040 --> 00:36:55,620 which was that 1997 meeting Miller showed me the\h book during two hour private conversation didn't\h\h 332 00:36:55,620 --> 00:37:01,200 have time to read it through didn't buy a copy\h didn't bring Corso up at meeting but comparing\h\h 333 00:37:01,200 --> 00:37:07,500 the Corso story to what I learned at meeting is\h more than enough to believe Corso told truth about\h\h 334 00:37:07,500 --> 00:37:18,840 seeing alien Hardware Etc did you complain to\h sapoc or sap OC yes called the subgroup members\h\h 335 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:24,420 senior review group members to a meeting at\h Pentagon told them what happened at meeting\h\h 336 00:37:25,800 --> 00:37:31,620 they responded that they would sustain the\h contractor on their access denial so I ended up\h\h 337 00:37:31,620 --> 00:37:36,900 arguing with them a while broke up in 20 minutes\h and they would meet me in two or three days\h\h 338 00:37:37,620 --> 00:37:43,920 got the call two days later in the end of June and\h met again with senior review group members when\h\h 339 00:37:44,580 --> 00:37:50,520 before last week of June 97. they told me\h that they were sustaining the contractor\h\h 340 00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,260 that I was to immediately drop the matter\h and Let It Go forget about it as I didn't\h\h 341 00:37:55,260 --> 00:37:59,580 have purview over their project\h it didn't fall within my oversight\h\h 342 00:37:59,580 --> 00:38:04,380 Etc I became very angry started yelling\h when I should have kept my mouth shut 343 00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:13,140 Miller and Greer said you nearly got busted\h close to that told Miller Senior review group\h\h 344 00:38:13,140 --> 00:38:19,440 chairman said if I didn't follow their suggestion\h I would not see director Dia promotion get early\h\h 345 00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:26,400 retirement lose one or two stars along the way\h really incredibly angry upset over this livid\h\h 346 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:32,760 why such a big deal over this considering the\h position of trust I have in the Pentagon I do have\h\h 347 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:39,360 relevant regulatory statutory authority over their\h program that's my position is it because funding\h\h 348 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:47,040 comes from you or through you or the director\h of the defense intelligence agency core secret\h\h 349 00:38:47,040 --> 00:38:54,720 can't answer okay back to the bigot list can you\h describe the type of people on it corporate types\h\h 350 00:38:54,720 --> 00:39:01,980 scientists and technicians Engineers scientists\h managers Etc any military organizations that you\h\h 351 00:39:01,980 --> 00:39:08,460 recognized none just oustat people and two on\h the special Access program oversight committee\h\h 352 00:39:08,460 --> 00:39:15,840 one other Pentagon office in December 97 Paul\h was out as the uzdat he left the government\h\h 353 00:39:15,840 --> 00:39:24,960 so was uh Mike K replaced two by whom Jacques\h counslow was the new used at started December 97\h\h 354 00:39:24,960 --> 00:39:32,460 Mike K was replaced by Brigadier General M Ward\h from the Air Force where Paul K and Mike K and\h\h 355 00:39:32,460 --> 00:39:38,940 Jacques ganzler and general Ward the ones on the\h bigot list that you recognized won't answer that\h\h 356 00:39:40,920 --> 00:39:45,780 talked to gansler in January\h 1998 about my June 97 meetings\h\h 357 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:56,700 he was briefed by someone surprised me what did\h he say UFOs are real so-called alien abductions\h\h 358 00:39:56,700 --> 00:40:04,140 not real ganzler said this what else told to\h drop the matter no more discussion about it 359 00:40:06,300 --> 00:40:09,060 were you willing to talk to\h Hell put off and kit green\h\h 360 00:40:10,380 --> 00:40:15,720 uh I mean we just and then they went on and\h discussed who they are and the remote viewing\h\h 361 00:40:15,720 --> 00:40:21,600 program history uh Wilson was not familiar with\h the names heard about the remote viewing program\h\h 362 00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:28,500 in 90. uh maybe maybe not for Hal would think\h about it no response on kit green prefers never\h\h 363 00:40:28,500 --> 00:40:35,520 to talk to anyone else about this again risks\h exposure better to stop talking cut it off here 364 00:40:37,680 --> 00:40:43,920 what will you do with this now I I actually\h think it's important at this moment uh Bryce\h\h 365 00:40:43,920 --> 00:40:48,780 to make the point that I think this is\h an implicit admission that he's asking\h\h 366 00:40:48,780 --> 00:40:53,580 Eric Davis what will you do with this\h it sounds to me like he's looking down\h\h 367 00:40:53,580 --> 00:40:57,840 at a recorder maybe a digital recorder\h sitting on the car seat between them\h\h 368 00:40:57,840 --> 00:41:03,600 or at least he's acknowledging that Eric's taking\h notes of some kind but there's a reference what\h\h 369 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:09,900 will you do with this I mean you could I guess\h make the argument that by this he he's like this\h\h 370 00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:15,360 with this talk we've had uh but I do think the\h recorder makes more sense particularly based on\h\h 371 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:22,560 how detailed this is anyway this is the last uh\h thing that Eric Davis uh says in response to that\h\h 372 00:41:24,120 --> 00:41:29,940 I'll keep it for private personal research\h data collection to track down the story and\h\h 373 00:41:29,940 --> 00:41:37,200 ascertain the signal noise in media and from\h government sources will keep Mouse shut etc etc\h\h 374 00:41:38,100 --> 00:41:42,840 I think we'll wrap it there to be honest otherwise\h we get people bogged down in complications but I\h\h 375 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:49,500 just uh I suffice to say Brothers it does read\h like a transcript either that or reads like a\h\h 376 00:41:49,500 --> 00:41:55,740 screenplay so if it is a fabrication it's a very\h very clever fabrication well here's the thing for\h\h 377 00:41:55,740 --> 00:42:01,560 people that make fake documents um you usually if\h you're making a fake document you try to make it\h\h 378 00:42:01,560 --> 00:42:06,660 look like a real document so if you were making\h if not to get too convoluted here but if you were\h\h 379 00:42:06,660 --> 00:42:10,860 really just trying to make a fake document the\h last thing you'd want anybody to say about your\h\h 380 00:42:10,860 --> 00:42:16,380 fake document is that it reads like a screenplay\h right you'd want it you'd want it to be in a\h\h 381 00:42:16,380 --> 00:42:22,380 different format than if you were looking for it\h to be accepted this looks to me as I as I've heard\h\h 382 00:42:22,380 --> 00:42:29,520 us reading it and read it myself a couple of times\h like somebody who is literally just had a really\h\h 383 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:35,100 impressive meeting and is desperately trying\h to write it all down and I know because both\h\h 384 00:42:35,100 --> 00:42:41,460 of us you know have have worked in the news and\h investigation business I've spent my own time in\h\h 385 00:42:41,460 --> 00:42:47,640 cars after I've talked to somebody and knowing how\h quickly my brain is going to lose the specifics\h\h 386 00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:53,640 and just stream it stream of consciousness got\h everything down as fast as I could do it I'm\h\h 387 00:42:53,640 --> 00:42:58,680 sure you have your own way but I mean if you\h were in a situation where you had that long of\h\h 388 00:42:58,680 --> 00:43:04,140 a conversation with someone what would you have\h done afterwards I would have definitely recorded\h\h 389 00:43:04,140 --> 00:43:11,640 it with it yeah with Tom Wilson's permission\h but I I assume there's an implicit admission\h\h 390 00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:16,740 there that there's something going on that he's\h referring to what will you do with that and in\h\h 391 00:43:16,740 --> 00:43:21,420 my book I I speculate that he's pointing down\h at a digital recorder but it is speculation we\h\h 392 00:43:21,420 --> 00:43:28,020 just don't know other friends of Eric have told me\h that Eric has a phenomenal memory but um we should\h\h 393 00:43:28,020 --> 00:43:33,420 emphasize when I I communicated with Admiral Tom\h Wilson for my research and he's adamant that this\h\h 394 00:43:33,420 --> 00:43:39,720 meeting with Eric Davis never took place that no\h such admissions were made and that the memo is a\h\h 395 00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:45,540 hoax that it's a fake but uh the reason why\h this is significant is because of course we\h\h 396 00:43:45,540 --> 00:43:51,900 know that Congress is about to hold hearings and\h if there are going to be people coming forward\h\h 397 00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:57,840 one of the people or two of the people that should\h be being called maybe Commander Willard Miller\h\h 398 00:43:57,840 --> 00:44:03,600 as well should be being called but certainly\h Commander Willard Miller Eric Davis and Admiral\h\h 399 00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:09,780 Tom Wilson should all be deposed and asked did\h this meeting take place what do you know and let's\h\h 400 00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:15,900 face it Mike Gallagher the congressman during\h the May 17th meeting provided the the hearings\h\h 401 00:44:15,900 --> 00:44:21,720 on on Capitol Hill provided I thought some of the\h most dramatic stuff by simply demanding that the\h\h 402 00:44:21,720 --> 00:44:28,440 Wilson uh Davis memo that we've just read out\h loud be put into the Congressional Record so if\h\h 403 00:44:28,440 --> 00:44:36,000 it's you know if it's important it wouldn't be\h really hard to to find out if this has reality\h\h 404 00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:40,920 to it or not you really do just drag the people in\h and you put them under oath and you ask them these\h\h 405 00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:46,980 questions now I want to emphasize I'm skeptical of\h the Wilson memo and I have to be because neither\h\h 406 00:44:46,980 --> 00:44:53,640 Eric Davis nor Tom Wilson will publicly vouch\h for its ferocity as a record of true events\h\h 407 00:44:53,640 --> 00:45:00,900 but at the same time there are a whole series of\h circumstantial reasons to take the memo seriously\h\h 408 00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:06,240 and that's my position my position is that we\h can't rely on anything the memo says it doesn't\h\h 409 00:45:06,240 --> 00:45:12,240 prove a thing right now but it should be being\h investigated and that's what's heartening about\h\h 410 00:45:12,240 --> 00:45:17,280 representative Mike Gallagher's decision to put\h the document on the public record in the Congress\h\h 411 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:22,680 because it Flags an intention that the Congress is\h going to take a closer interest in this document\h\h 412 00:45:23,280 --> 00:45:28,680 I also temper my understanding of the document\h with the fact that I have spoken to people who\h\h 413 00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:36,420 purport to be knowledgeable about what they refer\h to as the program and they assert that there is a\h\h 414 00:45:36,420 --> 00:45:41,280 back engineering a reverse engineering program\h going on in the US government which is actually\h\h 415 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:48,300 conducted in part mainly in private Aerospace so\h it's at least consistent with the drift of the\h\h 416 00:45:48,300 --> 00:45:55,380 Admiral Wilson memo that at some stage the whole\h program was moved out of government probably out\h\h 417 00:45:55,380 --> 00:46:00,720 of the Department of energy and into a private\h Aerospace company where it's remained for much of\h\h 418 00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:07,920 the last few decades if it's a fake there would be\h things within it that I mean there would usually\h\h 419 00:46:07,920 --> 00:46:14,280 be things within it that were of questionable\h efficacy so my question to you is as I look\h\h 420 00:46:14,280 --> 00:46:20,520 through it I didn't see anything that I thought\h was wrong that was a mistake that was clearly uh\h\h 421 00:46:21,060 --> 00:46:27,360 invalid did you no I didn't and that's my gripe\h with some of the mj12 documents as some of them\h\h 422 00:46:27,360 --> 00:46:33,480 are very obviously forgeries you know they've used\h uh signatures from former presidential documents\h\h 423 00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:39,060 that are acknowledged as real documents so I I\h have an issue frankly with the mj-12 documents\h\h 424 00:46:39,060 --> 00:46:44,460 you wouldn't hang a mangy dog as we would say\h in Australia now there's a whole collection of\h\h 425 00:46:44,460 --> 00:46:49,500 mj-12 documents and this is not earlier what the\h earlier ones are more interesting but yeah the\h\h 426 00:46:49,500 --> 00:46:55,260 Eisenhower briefing document that was written\h supposedly in November of 1952 as Eisenhower\h\h 427 00:46:55,260 --> 00:47:00,060 had been elected and was being briefed into a\h program he probably already knew things about\h\h 428 00:47:00,060 --> 00:47:05,040 that one reads pretty good to me but again\h there are things that people can take issue\h\h 429 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:10,080 I'm not sure what you would take issue with in\h this thing factually maybe stylistically and\h\h 430 00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:15,600 again just because I I just I think now it's\h more important than ever tell our listeners\h\h 431 00:47:15,600 --> 00:47:23,880 and viewers one more time how this document\h became public how it ended up in an astronauts\h\h 432 00:47:24,540 --> 00:47:32,280 garage after his death okay the document was\h given to Edgar Mitchell the lunar module pilot\h\h 433 00:47:32,280 --> 00:47:38,820 on the Apollo 14 Mission because Edgar was on\h the science advisory panel for the National\h\h 434 00:47:38,820 --> 00:47:44,040 Institute of Discovery Science which was funded\h by Robert Bigelow the Aerospace entrepreneur\h\h 435 00:47:44,580 --> 00:47:50,760 and as part of a bundle of documents that came\h out of Edgar Mitchell's estate after he died\h\h 436 00:47:50,760 --> 00:47:56,160 I I'm very very clear in my mind because I've\h spoken to the person who facilitated the release\h\h 437 00:47:56,160 --> 00:48:01,560 of those documents from Edgar Mitchell's estate\h who was a very close friend of Edgar Mitchell I\h\h 438 00:48:01,560 --> 00:48:07,140 am absolutely certain that the provenance of this\h document is very very clear that Edgar received it\h\h 439 00:48:07,140 --> 00:48:14,340 probably soon after the 2002 meeting allegedly\h between Eric Davis and Admiral Tom Wilson and\h\h 440 00:48:14,340 --> 00:48:19,140 that whether it records an accurate version of a\h conversation between Eric Davis and Admiral Tom\h\h 441 00:48:19,140 --> 00:48:25,560 Wilson or not it was almost certainly brought into\h the fact the files the paperwork of Edgar Mitchell\h\h 442 00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:31,740 shortly thereafter faxed probably by Hal put off\h from the National Institute of Discovery Science\h\h 443 00:48:32,340 --> 00:48:38,400 to Edgar Mitchell and that Edgar Mitchell informed\h himself about the contents of that document and\h\h 444 00:48:38,400 --> 00:48:43,440 indeed referred to this meeting in numerous\h interviews that took place over the following\h\h 445 00:48:43,440 --> 00:48:51,000 years and there is indeed mild corroboration\h of certain aspects of the conversation that\h\h 446 00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:57,300 took place between Eric Davis and Admiral Tom\h Wilson which lead me to be more convinced than\h\h 447 00:48:57,300 --> 00:49:03,540 not that the conversation did take place and let\h me hasten to add as well Bryce that nobody should\h\h 448 00:49:03,540 --> 00:49:10,260 reflect adversely on Admiral Tom Wilson if he is\h lying about this because as a security official\h\h 449 00:49:10,260 --> 00:49:16,140 who's responsible for preserving America's\h most important National Secrets if you are\h\h 450 00:49:16,140 --> 00:49:21,840 the holder of a security oath and you're banned\h by your security oath and if this is a waived\h\h 451 00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:28,620 unacknowledged special access program of some kind\h as we suspect that it is you are legally obliged\h\h 452 00:49:28,620 --> 00:49:36,120 to lie correct and and I I don't think anything\h less of them in fact if anything as I first read\h\h 453 00:49:36,120 --> 00:49:44,760 this and as I heard it read just now by you I I\h felt an emotional response to him if this is the\h\h 454 00:49:44,760 --> 00:49:50,340 real thing and this really describes what he went\h through let's all pause for a moment and think\h\h 455 00:49:50,340 --> 00:49:57,420 about that here is the guy who's in charge of the\h defense intelligence agency is basically J2 he's\h\h 456 00:49:57,420 --> 00:50:03,300 like the uh he's at the top of the Joint Chiefs\h of Singapore yeah he's the intelligence briefer\h\h 457 00:50:03,300 --> 00:50:09,360 for The Joint Chiefs okay who should be able to\h make the argument that you know if you're working\h\h 458 00:50:09,360 --> 00:50:16,620 on something I'd like to know about it and who's\h received the warm embrace of the US government to\h\h 459 00:50:16,620 --> 00:50:23,460 be able to keep a secret it would be Tom Wilson\h and so his frustration in in the reading and\h\h 460 00:50:23,460 --> 00:50:29,700 and even watching the use of Eric Davis with the\h triple exclamation marks on some of these things\h\h 461 00:50:30,600 --> 00:50:37,380 um you just really feel how frustrating that would\h be imagine this is your job you are supposed to be\h\h 462 00:50:37,380 --> 00:50:43,980 helping brief people about the security challenges\h the United States of America is up against and\h\h 463 00:50:43,980 --> 00:50:49,440 there is a program you're aware of that they're\h confirming and they won't read you into it and\h\h 464 00:50:49,440 --> 00:50:53,160 you're more importantly more importantly my\h friend I think the thing that leaps out to\h\h 465 00:50:53,160 --> 00:50:58,680 me as a lawyer in that document is that the the\h organization that is meant to be the Sovereign\h\h 466 00:50:58,680 --> 00:51:03,900 of America your Congress which is meant to be\h government of the people for the People by the\h\h 467 00:51:03,900 --> 00:51:10,800 people it's not briefed into this neither is why\h Congress is pissed and same with the president the\h\h 468 00:51:10,800 --> 00:51:15,840 president is not in on I mean for years uh we've\h been playing the game on these UFO podcasts where\h\h 469 00:51:15,840 --> 00:51:19,980 people go well what do you think this President\h knew or didn't know and it's been an uh you\h\h 470 00:51:19,980 --> 00:51:25,140 know item to be bandied about in fact I wrote an\h entire television series if you will about what\h\h 471 00:51:25,140 --> 00:51:30,480 a president knew or didn't know when I did Dark\h Skies for NBC so uh the idea that the president\h\h 472 00:51:30,480 --> 00:51:37,380 doesn't get told is not surprising to me but to\h see it there in black and white is uh is unnerving\h\h 473 00:51:37,380 --> 00:51:44,100 if uh if that's the right word because uh it\h does mean that there is another Power structure\h\h 474 00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:49,140 uh that is dealing with this besides\h the power structure that's supposed to\h\h 475 00:51:49,140 --> 00:51:55,800 be dealing with these things as laid out in our\h constitution so it's uh more importantly you can\h\h 476 00:51:55,800 --> 00:52:00,780 see why the Congress would be worried about\h accountability yep I mean let's assume it's\h\h 477 00:52:00,780 --> 00:52:05,340 true let's assume that there is a secret back\h engineering reverse engineering program going\h\h 478 00:52:05,340 --> 00:52:10,800 on inside the US government I can understand\h especially during the Cold War the instinct\h\h 479 00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:18,840 to keep it secret the need to try to preserve the\h secrecy of what after all is a momentous admission\h\h 480 00:52:18,840 --> 00:52:24,240 that the United States is in possession of\h non-human technology advanced technology\h\h 481 00:52:25,020 --> 00:52:29,220 but it's the issue that it hasn't been\h brought to the attention of the Congress\h\h 482 00:52:29,220 --> 00:52:34,980 that's the key issue and if ever if ever\h there was a national security issue that\h\h 483 00:52:34,980 --> 00:52:41,220 ought properly to be known by the Congress this is\h it you know and here's your Moment of Zen folks if\h\h 484 00:52:41,220 --> 00:52:47,640 you're listening or you're watching right now um\h let's all take just a second and consider this\h\h 485 00:52:48,780 --> 00:52:55,560 um if there is Crash wreckage it goes back to\h at least 1947 and according to some cases maybe\h\h 486 00:52:55,560 --> 00:53:03,480 even further if it's real and it existed and if\h the phenomenon is authentic uh and exists and\h\h 487 00:53:03,480 --> 00:53:09,480 is some kind of non-human intelligence that's\h interacting with us if those things are true\h\h 488 00:53:10,440 --> 00:53:19,500 we've gone eight decades nearly now eight decades\h where a basic fact of how the universe operates\h\h 489 00:53:19,500 --> 00:53:27,660 has not been opened up and discussed with us and\h the US government itself now seems to have become\h\h 490 00:53:27,660 --> 00:53:33,780 blinded as the public has been so just to pick up\h on what you were saying Ross I've always thought\h\h 491 00:53:33,780 --> 00:53:41,280 that probably if I'm a believer that Roswell is\h a is true an authentic event uh more or less as\h\h 492 00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:49,440 it's described and that I'm quite uh certain that\h when Roswell happened it was a military operation\h\h 493 00:53:49,440 --> 00:53:54,180 I mean obviously we just won World War II and\h the military gets it and who's the president\h\h 494 00:53:54,180 --> 00:54:00,000 gonna uh appoint to look into it military and\h National Security people but it seems clear\h\h 495 00:54:00,720 --> 00:54:06,360 if this memo is true that what has happened\h over the years is the government itself has\h\h 496 00:54:06,360 --> 00:54:13,200 offshored a great deal of the research and the\h work on this topic to private Enterprise mostly\h\h 497 00:54:13,200 --> 00:54:19,980 Aerospace firms uh ins here in Southern California\h where I am and that's a shocker because what that\h\h 498 00:54:19,980 --> 00:54:27,540 means with compartmentation that happens with\h security uh we've been over eight decades blinding\h\h 499 00:54:27,540 --> 00:54:34,320 our officials more and more and more to the point\h where yeah you've now got Senators like gillibrand\h\h 500 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:41,280 and Rubio waking up and going wait a second what's\h going on here and who can blame them I mean who\h\h 501 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:47,820 can really blame them well at the very least it\h poses a question that needs to be answered and we\h\h 502 00:54:47,820 --> 00:54:52,620 shouldn't be frightened of asking the question\h even if it turns out that the memo is a hoax\h\h 503 00:54:52,620 --> 00:54:58,260 at least it can be resolved I don't think it is\h a hoax that's my gut instinct we'd better think\h\h 504 00:54:58,260 --> 00:55:02,280 about wrapping up mate because we're getting\h pretty close to a full hour here and I know\h\h 505 00:55:02,280 --> 00:55:06,540 our audience have got better things to do than\h to listen to us prattling on about a memo that\h\h 506 00:55:06,540 --> 00:55:12,900 may or may not be real but uh yeah I mean I think\h it's fair to say that we may get answers to the\h\h 507 00:55:12,900 --> 00:55:20,880 conundrum The Mystery of the Admiral Wilson memo\h possibly as early as maybe early 2023. man that\h\h 508 00:55:20,880 --> 00:55:26,640 would be just shocking listen um I enjoyed doing\h that I enjoyed reading that I enjoyed hearing you\h\h 509 00:55:26,640 --> 00:55:36,180 uh read it a secret but nobody does core Secrets\h as good as you and by the way I freaking love\h\h 510 00:55:36,180 --> 00:55:40,440 that I'm going to put that on it's going to be a\h movie One Day Bryce called core secrets that's the\h\h 511 00:55:40,440 --> 00:55:45,360 title of my next movie but let's end it with this\h let's tell people what course Secrets is supposed\h\h 512 00:55:45,360 --> 00:55:53,340 to mean what what is a core secret the biggest\h secrets of all the secrets so secret that if\h\h 513 00:55:53,340 --> 00:56:01,260 you reveal them they irrevocably compromise United\h States national security and it we can understand\h\h 514 00:56:01,260 --> 00:56:06,300 why a UFO reality would be a core secret\h what do you think other core Secrets might be\h\h 515 00:56:07,020 --> 00:56:12,540 oh I can imagine maybe the ingredients to how\h to make it into making make a nuclear bomb and\h\h 516 00:56:12,540 --> 00:56:18,960 and let's just also say Bryce maybe also what\h do they really know about the JFK assassination\h\h 517 00:56:19,860 --> 00:56:25,620 well okay now I know we're wrapping up so I'm\h gonna have to we're gonna have to bring that\h\h 518 00:56:25,620 --> 00:56:31,380 up because that one gets me going I even wrote\h a book about it so yeah we'll be back anyway\h\h 519 00:56:31,380 --> 00:56:36,720 it's been fun uh I've enjoyed this we'll\h continue to follow this and uh let's just\h\h 520 00:56:36,720 --> 00:56:43,740 hope that as we get into 2023 uh there'll be more\h answers than there are questions coming forward\h\h
