00:00:58,660 --> 00:00:54,589 week's episode where we feature the 14 00:01:02,229 --> 00:00:58,670 return of Robbie Graham and he is here 15 00:01:03,640 --> 00:01:02,239 in the capacity of an editor of a new 16 00:01:05,890 --> 00:01:03,650 book that we were talking about a little 17 00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:05,900 bit last week it's called UFO is 18 00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:08,210 reframing the debate that's a series of 19 00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:11,360 essays by a group of people many of whom 20 00:01:17,620 --> 00:01:14,450 you've heard on the show and one of 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:17,630 those is joining us and that is Robert 22 00:01:20,890 --> 00:01:20,570 Branstetter welcome thank you for having 23 00:01:24,490 --> 00:01:20,900 me again 24 00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:24,500 now Robert Branstetter wrote a essay 25 00:01:29,710 --> 00:01:27,890 entitled discovering our humanity in the 26 00:01:30,130 --> 00:01:29,720 alien other I'm going to ask him about 27 00:01:32,679 --> 00:01:30,140 that 28 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:32,689 they're also essays from Ryan Sprague 29 00:01:37,990 --> 00:01:35,450 and red pill junky by the way red pill 30 00:01:40,450 --> 00:01:38,000 was invited to join us too but his work 31 00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:40,460 schedule is preventing that Kurt Collins 32 00:01:46,390 --> 00:01:43,880 of course Joshua kuchen Micah Hanks Jack 33 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:46,400 brewer McClellan Chris Bukowski 34 00:01:50,320 --> 00:01:48,530 with an introduction from Robbie Graeme 35 00:01:53,260 --> 00:01:50,330 we'll get the background of this book 36 00:01:55,539 --> 00:01:53,270 and what's meant to be and I think it 37 00:01:58,600 --> 00:01:55,549 may be fitting before we look at 38 00:02:01,090 --> 00:01:58,610 reframing the debate about changing the 39 00:02:03,399 --> 00:02:01,100 rules or something we should look at 40 00:02:06,580 --> 00:02:03,409 examples of what UFO research is now 41 00:02:09,309 --> 00:02:06,590 alright so here's an example of what UFO 42 00:02:11,649 --> 00:02:09,319 research is now a few days ago I got 43 00:02:14,679 --> 00:02:11,659 this book from Donald Schmidt cover-up 44 00:02:17,380 --> 00:02:14,689 at Roswell exposing the 70-year 45 00:02:19,990 --> 00:02:17,390 conspiracy to suppress the truth so 46 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:20,000 maybe other than the 70 years I've gone 47 00:02:26,259 --> 00:02:22,970 back through time 10 years 20 years 30 48 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:26,269 years that's an example we've had all 49 00:02:32,170 --> 00:02:29,810 this stuff going on at MUFON when one of 50 00:02:35,679 --> 00:02:32,180 their state directors and someone who is 51 00:02:38,820 --> 00:02:35,689 a co-host of the hangar one TV show was 52 00:02:42,430 --> 00:02:38,830 posting on his Facebook blog 53 00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:42,440 racially offensive comments that badly 54 00:02:47,260 --> 00:02:44,480 reflected on the organization it seemed 55 00:02:50,620 --> 00:02:47,270 to take an awful long time for muffins 56 00:02:53,170 --> 00:02:50,630 executive director Jan horizon-- to get 57 00:02:55,050 --> 00:02:53,180 rid of him and then we found out why and 58 00:02:59,710 --> 00:02:55,060 this is interesting you see there's a 59 00:03:01,480 --> 00:02:59,720 listing at MUFON of so-called lifetime 60 00:03:03,130 --> 00:03:01,490 members people who have given more than 61 00:03:05,620 --> 00:03:03,140 five thousand dollars to the 62 00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:05,630 organization and this guy who made the 63 00:03:11,620 --> 00:03:08,330 racially insensitive comments was one of 64 00:03:14,470 --> 00:03:11,630 those people so maybe it's the money 65 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:14,480 what do you think Chris I'm not going to 66 00:03:19,030 --> 00:03:16,370 assume anything Jean but money does 67 00:03:21,850 --> 00:03:19,040 speak very loudly in a co 501c3 68 00:03:24,699 --> 00:03:21,860 organization that's constantly looking 69 00:03:27,250 --> 00:03:24,709 for operating capital and money to 70 00:03:29,530 --> 00:03:27,260 legitimize their their administrative 71 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:29,540 process so yeah that's that's a good 72 00:03:34,570 --> 00:03:32,330 guess I think that obviously had 73 00:03:37,870 --> 00:03:34,580 something to do with it but regardless 74 00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:37,880 of that it he should have been dealt 75 00:03:42,550 --> 00:03:40,490 with very severely from the get-go there 76 00:03:45,270 --> 00:03:42,560 really is no room in an organization for 77 00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:45,280 his type of like let's put it this way 78 00:03:52,509 --> 00:03:48,440 type of behavior that's been popularized 79 00:03:54,699 --> 00:03:52,519 because of the election of our recent US 80 00:03:56,530 --> 00:03:54,709 president right but that shouldn't have 81 00:03:58,660 --> 00:03:56,540 anything to do with it if he has 82 00:04:00,430 --> 00:03:58,670 opinions like that keep it to yourself 83 00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:00,440 keep it to your circle of friends 84 00:04:05,949 --> 00:04:04,130 I'm not against freedom of speech but 85 00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:05,959 when you're speaking for an organization 86 00:04:09,910 --> 00:04:07,130 they're trying to get people interested 87 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:09,920 in chasing after UFOs and you have to do 88 00:04:15,460 --> 00:04:13,370 this but ways worse is this blog I read 89 00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:15,470 from Kevin D Randle his different 90 00:04:20,650 --> 00:04:18,620 perspective where he mentioned that Jan 91 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:20,660 horizion of MUFON was calling some of 92 00:04:27,820 --> 00:04:24,010 the people who were offended by this 93 00:04:29,620 --> 00:04:27,830 gentleman he's calling them haters so of 94 00:04:31,540 --> 00:04:29,630 course Nick Redfern will now have 95 00:04:34,090 --> 00:04:31,550 nothing whatever to do with MUFON and 96 00:04:37,150 --> 00:04:34,100 certainly we see that Kevin Randle won't 97 00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:37,160 either and that's what's happened you 98 00:04:41,440 --> 00:04:39,410 know they just simply have made a mess 99 00:04:43,540 --> 00:04:41,450 of the in situation this could have been 100 00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:43,550 quietly dealt with in five minutes and 101 00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:47,840 that would be apologized now and maybe 102 00:04:50,050 --> 00:04:49,610 we'll keep you on or just get out of 103 00:04:51,820 --> 00:04:50,060 here 104 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:51,830 but all this nonsense they allow to 105 00:04:55,840 --> 00:04:52,370 happen 106 00:04:59,020 --> 00:04:55,850 and this is UFO research in the 21st 107 00:05:00,040 --> 00:04:59,030 century the premier UFO organization in 108 00:05:01,870 --> 00:05:00,050 America 109 00:05:03,219 --> 00:05:01,880 Robbie Graeme do you have anything like 110 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:03,229 that going on the UK 111 00:05:10,780 --> 00:05:08,240 well the UK UFO scene is is a fraction 112 00:05:13,450 --> 00:05:10,790 of the size of the American North 113 00:05:16,659 --> 00:05:13,460 American UFO scene we don't really have 114 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:16,669 an organized community over here anymore 115 00:05:22,960 --> 00:05:19,610 that there were bigger organizations 116 00:05:25,510 --> 00:05:22,970 that had considerable influence back in 117 00:05:27,250 --> 00:05:25,520 the well prior to the year 2000 I guess 118 00:05:30,190 --> 00:05:27,260 and I think it was really the internet 119 00:05:33,659 --> 00:05:30,200 over here as it as it was over there and 120 00:05:36,580 --> 00:05:33,669 everywhere that saw the dissolution of 121 00:05:38,170 --> 00:05:36,590 physical meetups and everything started 122 00:05:40,200 --> 00:05:38,180 to go online and everything started to 123 00:05:43,270 --> 00:05:40,210 become I guess probably even more 124 00:05:45,550 --> 00:05:43,280 speculative and hokum based because 125 00:05:47,909 --> 00:05:45,560 anything goes on the internet but the 126 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:47,919 problems with with ufology 127 00:05:51,850 --> 00:05:50,570 organizationally methodologically they 128 00:05:55,390 --> 00:05:51,860 go back to the very dawn of the modern 129 00:05:59,200 --> 00:05:55,400 UFO era and so it's always been beset by 130 00:06:00,879 --> 00:05:59,210 huge huge obstacles and self-made 131 00:06:02,050 --> 00:06:00,889 obstacles I would say I mean well a lot 132 00:06:04,750 --> 00:06:02,060 of them are anyway obviously this 133 00:06:07,469 --> 00:06:04,760 obstacle of the phenomenon itself which 134 00:06:10,150 --> 00:06:07,479 defies organized investigation 135 00:06:12,310 --> 00:06:10,160 investigational attempts but the field 136 00:06:15,129 --> 00:06:12,320 itself is always been a mess now in the 137 00:06:17,260 --> 00:06:15,139 UK yeah I mean there really aren't many 138 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:17,270 big conferences you know this probably 139 00:06:19,870 --> 00:06:19,370 only about three or four conferences a 140 00:06:22,510 --> 00:06:19,880 year 141 00:06:24,909 --> 00:06:22,520 what nationwide in the UK and the 142 00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:24,919 biggest of those today really only draws 143 00:06:30,010 --> 00:06:27,260 a maximum of a few hundred attendees 144 00:06:32,140 --> 00:06:30,020 over the course of several days so it's 145 00:06:35,050 --> 00:06:32,150 it's it's fast smaller affair over here 146 00:06:36,909 --> 00:06:35,060 and I try to stay out of the UK UFO 147 00:06:39,370 --> 00:06:36,919 community to be honest with you most of 148 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:39,380 my dealings or all of my dealings to be 149 00:06:45,159 --> 00:06:41,930 honest are with American and Canadian 150 00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:45,169 and international researchers and 151 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:46,970 writers I had very little to do with the 152 00:06:52,230 --> 00:06:49,370 UK scene I think a sad state of affairs 153 00:06:56,020 --> 00:06:52,240 me with the UK scene recently has been 154 00:06:58,990 --> 00:06:56,030 that it's been defined I guess by the 155 00:07:02,409 --> 00:06:59,000 Rendlesham forest case and that case 156 00:07:05,920 --> 00:07:02,419 itself as as fascinating as it is is has 157 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:05,930 come to be defined by vicious in 158 00:07:10,930 --> 00:07:08,810 fighting between the opposing camps of 159 00:07:13,990 --> 00:07:10,940 researchers that have investigated that 160 00:07:16,180 --> 00:07:14,000 case going back to the 1980s and so it's 161 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:16,190 it's so unattractive now that I just 162 00:07:19,900 --> 00:07:17,930 want nothing to do with it now we just 163 00:07:22,029 --> 00:07:19,910 mentioned that quickly we have our 164 00:07:24,430 --> 00:07:22,039 section in our forms the para cast forum 165 00:07:26,020 --> 00:07:24,440 about it of course we know at one point 166 00:07:29,050 --> 00:07:26,030 there was a book called left at Eastgate 167 00:07:31,029 --> 00:07:29,060 with peter robbins and larry warren the 168 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:31,039 latter being one of the witnesses to 169 00:07:35,590 --> 00:07:32,810 Rendlesham and they've since had a 170 00:07:37,990 --> 00:07:35,600 falling out you know so even within the 171 00:07:39,490 --> 00:07:38,000 factions they can't get it together I 172 00:07:40,779 --> 00:07:39,500 mean that's what that's what that case 173 00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:40,789 has always been has always been a 174 00:07:46,089 --> 00:07:43,310 divisive one but yeah it's you know this 175 00:07:47,770 --> 00:07:46,099 book is coming out at a time as you say 176 00:07:49,839 --> 00:07:47,780 where you've had this major controversy 177 00:07:51,540 --> 00:07:49,849 with MUFON it's coming not too far on 178 00:07:53,379 --> 00:07:51,550 the back of the Roswell slides 179 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:53,389 controversy which was last year but 180 00:07:58,960 --> 00:07:54,970 which was still a huge huge blow to 181 00:08:00,999 --> 00:07:58,970 serious UFO research to my mind was was 182 00:08:03,879 --> 00:08:01,009 pretty much the the nail in the coffin 183 00:08:06,100 --> 00:08:03,889 for firm serious you for logical 184 00:08:08,589 --> 00:08:06,110 research and and that's explored in the 185 00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:08,599 book as we get on to you know and so now 186 00:08:13,990 --> 00:08:10,610 you've had the the complete collapse of 187 00:08:16,870 --> 00:08:14,000 this case with the total separation of 188 00:08:19,629 --> 00:08:16,880 the two of the two main names associated 189 00:08:21,550 --> 00:08:19,639 with it peter robbins and larry warren 190 00:08:24,219 --> 00:08:21,560 who of course wrote the book on the 191 00:08:25,719 --> 00:08:24,229 subject i guess left at Eastgate as you 192 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:25,729 mentioned and now you've had peter 193 00:08:30,820 --> 00:08:27,650 robbins officially separating himself 194 00:08:32,709 --> 00:08:30,830 from from larry warren and saying that 195 00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:32,719 he you know sort of admitting that he 196 00:08:38,110 --> 00:08:35,750 was misled and that you know a lot of 197 00:08:42,040 --> 00:08:38,120 what larry warren has said the core of 198 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,050 his story is actually simply not true 199 00:08:48,730 --> 00:08:44,240 and so what are we left with well we 200 00:08:51,220 --> 00:08:48,740 laugh with a huge mess so what are we 201 00:08:53,980 --> 00:08:51,230 left with is peter robbins stepping up 202 00:08:56,019 --> 00:08:53,990 in saying hey i'm now aware of something

point that 347 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:38,190 Chris was bringing up and that is after 348 00:14:43,070 --> 00:14:40,490 the case is exposed or after the facts 349 00:14:45,110 --> 00:14:43,080 no longer confirmed something and we're 350 00:14:47,630 --> 00:14:45,120 talking about mj-12 documents for 351 00:14:50,120 --> 00:14:47,640 example with Roswell and we have people 352 00:14:54,290 --> 00:14:50,130 who have spent years touting this 353 00:14:57,110 --> 00:14:54,300 evidence and suddenly it falls apart if 354 00:15:00,410 --> 00:14:57,120 Stanton Friedman ever said mj-12 is a 355 00:15:02,660 --> 00:15:00,420 fake no he keeps doing it and stan has 356 00:15:05,210 --> 00:15:02,670 done some good work but that's a problem 357 00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:05,220 once people get into a situation where 358 00:15:11,030 --> 00:15:08,010 they latch onto something in this field 359 00:15:13,100 --> 00:15:11,040 they never ever let it go who wants to 360 00:15:14,690 --> 00:15:13,110 say something well it becomes part of 361 00:15:17,690 --> 00:15:14,700 their identity when you when you become 362 00:15:19,550 --> 00:15:17,700 so associated with a particular case and 363 00:15:21,410 --> 00:15:19,560 and what you were saying there Chris I 364 00:15:25,220 --> 00:15:21,420 completely agree I have huge respect for 365 00:15:28,370 --> 00:15:25,230 Peter Robbins standing up and saying you 366 00:15:30,140 --> 00:15:28,380 know you know I was duped and he's been 367 00:15:32,180 --> 00:15:30,150 explicit about that and that that has 368 00:15:33,410 --> 00:15:32,190 taken a huge amount of courage I can't 369 00:15:35,090 --> 00:15:33,420 think that many other people in his 370 00:15:37,670 --> 00:15:35,100 position would do the same not in this 371 00:15:39,890 --> 00:15:37,680 field so very few that in fact I 372 00:15:44,090 --> 00:15:39,900 mentioned Roswell slides both Donald's 373 00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:44,100 million in Tom Kerry have made lukewarm 374 00:15:48,860 --> 00:15:46,710 sort of you know well maybe we were 375 00:15:50,510 --> 00:15:48,870 wrong in this and that and then you know 376 00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:50,520 we could to later Don Schmidt start 377 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:52,530 talking about the whole thing as if it 378 00:15:57,200 --> 00:15:54,810 was never debunked at a you know the 379 00:15:59,730 --> 00:15:57,210 next UFO conference he spoke at so there 380 00:16:01,830 --> 00:15:59,740 are exceptions Linda Howe 381 00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:01,840 I could give you several examples of 382 00:16:06,170 --> 00:16:03,850 cases that were proven to be false that 383 00:16:08,820 --> 00:16:06,180 she went on in some cases for years 384 00:16:11,250 --> 00:16:08,830 continuing to tout you know what is more 385 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:11,260 important here and this is part of 386 00:16:16,230 --> 00:16:13,570 reframing the debate going to the title 387 00:16:19,190 --> 00:16:16,240 of your compilation book what's more 388 00:16:22,290 --> 00:16:19,200 important here fantasy science fiction 389 00:16:26,310 --> 00:16:22,300 convenience stories that that ring true 390 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:26,320 in our our new-age sort of intuitional 391 00:16:32,430 --> 00:16:30,010 selves or hard facts you know stuff that 392 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:32,440 you can actually maybe write a 393 00:16:38,210 --> 00:16:35,050 scientific paper about I think that 394 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:38,220 there's a real separation between 395 00:16:45,450 --> 00:16:42,250 hardcore hard scientific ufology which 396 00:16:47,670 --> 00:16:45,460 you're mentioned earlier that you don't 397 00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:47,680 think that there is such a thing and all 398 00:16:52,890 --> 00:16:49,690 the other stuff all the confabulation 399 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:52,900 the myth making the high crimes and 400 00:16:57,480 --> 00:16:55,770 misdemeanors as far as I'm concerned in 401 00:17:01,320 --> 00:16:57,490 creative storytelling 402 00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:01,330 that part of ufology is dominating right 403 00:17:06,060 --> 00:17:03,010 now but that doesn't that doesn't bring 404 00:17:08,370 --> 00:17:06,070 into I think that doesn't bring us to a 405 00:17:11,310 --> 00:17:08,380 close I think there still is a 406 00:17:13,350 --> 00:17:11,320 tremendous opportunity for hard-boiled 407 00:17:15,900 --> 00:17:13,360 researchers and investigators to 408 00:17:20,690 --> 00:17:15,910 continue on investigating the phenomenon 409 00:17:23,610 --> 00:17:20,700 as it should be I'm off my soapbox then 410 00:17:26,820 --> 00:17:23,620 Robert how about jumping in here you've 411 00:17:28,860 --> 00:17:26,830 been involved in a lot of the forum by 412 00:17:31,430 --> 00:17:28,870 play at the power cast forums is burnt 413 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:31,440 States so certainly you have 414 00:17:36,660 --> 00:17:34,210 participated in these Wars of debate 415 00:17:38,220 --> 00:17:36,670 what are your observations yeah and I 416 00:17:40,260 --> 00:17:38,230 think that the you know the primary 417 00:17:42,780 --> 00:17:40,270 discussion piece that we're having here 418 00:17:45,210 --> 00:17:42,790 is this notion of UFO mythology and in 419 00:17:46,290 --> 00:17:45,220 Loren cuts it's that in his essay almost 420 00:17:49,020 --> 00:17:46,300 everything you think you know about 421 00:17:50,580 --> 00:17:49,030 flying saucers is wrong and he really 422 00:17:52,590 --> 00:17:50,590 identifies you know some of the major 423 00:17:54,060 --> 00:17:52,600 gaps that take place in the notion of 424 00:17:56,040 --> 00:17:54,070 you know witnessed event that might be a 425 00:17:58,950 --> 00:17:56,050 very profound and fascinating human 426 00:18:01,650 --> 00:17:58,960 experience versus what turns into belief 427 00:18:04,380 --> 00:18:01,660 systems around that and really the 428 00:18:06,270 --> 00:18:04,390 majority of what ufology is is a bunch 429 00:18:08,370 --> 00:18:06,280 of belief systems and storytelling and 430 00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:08,380 myths that are built up around cases 431 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:10,090 that eventually people say me a culpa 432 00:18:13,789 --> 00:18:11,730 and even if they do we know that 433 00:18:17,299 --> 00:18:13,799 the picture of the Indian boy as a 434 00:18:19,279 --> 00:18:17,309 mummified remains as Roswell alien 435 00:18:21,470 --> 00:18:19,289 will still exist that on the internet 436 00:18:23,029 --> 00:18:21,480 and anytime anybody says oh I was wrong 437 00:18:24,230 --> 00:18:23,039 doesn't make a difference it will still 438 00:18:26,899 --> 00:18:24,240 exist because there's nothing really 439 00:18:29,480 --> 00:18:26,909 that truly does support a concept of 440 00:18:31,159 --> 00:18:29,490 ufology as a true existing field of 441 00:18:34,580 --> 00:18:31,169 study and Robbie's made note about a 442 00:18:36,799 --> 00:18:34,590 number of times and M Jabin eyes and his 443 00:18:39,590 --> 00:18:36,809 essay talks about that as well - that 444 00:18:41,210 --> 00:18:39,600 there is no great center that there's no 445 00:18:42,889 --> 00:18:41,220 rules there's nothing that governs it 446 00:18:45,200 --> 00:18:42,899 and as a consequence it hasn't gotten 447 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:45,210 anywhere because of that any attempts of 448 00:18:50,269 --> 00:18:47,970 science have been small next to minimal 449 00:18:53,180 --> 00:18:50,279 and not consistent and haven't continued 450 00:18:55,519 --> 00:18:53,190 so that that notion of of what we 451 00:18:58,940 --> 00:18:55,529 believe in terms of what a UFO is is 452 00:19:01,549 --> 00:18:58,950 just mired in absolute chaos and in 453 00:19:04,159 --> 00:19:01,559 consumer pop culture yeah and that's why 454 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:04,169 I front-loaded the book with pieces on 455 00:19:07,759 --> 00:19:05,010 religion 456 00:19:10,340 --> 00:19:07,769 first of all Diana Persol cos forward 457 00:19:12,200 --> 00:19:10,350 for the book is looking at the parallels 458 00:19:14,120 --> 00:19:12,210 with with organized religion and 459 00:19:15,379 --> 00:19:14,130 religious belief because yeah and also 460 00:19:16,789 --> 00:19:15,389 then you've got Chris rutkowski is 461 00:19:18,799 --> 00:19:16,799 opening essay which is also looking at 462 00:19:20,870 --> 00:19:18,809 that as well and it's because the the 463 00:19:23,930 --> 00:19:20,880 religious aspects of UFO belief are 464 00:19:25,909 --> 00:19:23,940 undeniable ufology is a New Age religion 465 00:19:27,620 --> 00:19:25,919 and and I'd say that you know with this 466 00:19:30,409 --> 00:19:27,630 in mind people should take caution 467 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:30,419 because powerful belief in anything can 468 00:19:34,610 --> 00:19:32,610 be exploited whether it's by sinister 469 00:19:36,799 --> 00:19:34,620 government forces or by charlatans and 470 00:19:39,470 --> 00:19:36,809 commercial opportunists and the UFO 471 00:19:41,060 --> 00:19:39,480 subculture as it exists today which I 472 00:19:43,909 --> 00:19:41,070 would argue is actually inseparable from 473 00:19:46,009 --> 00:19:43,919 so-called legitimate ufology is built 474 00:19:48,169 --> 00:19:46,019 far less on facts and verifiable 475 00:19:51,259 --> 00:19:48,179 evidence than it is on blind belief and 476 00:19:53,090 --> 00:19:51,269 a subject such as UFOs has inherent 477 00:19:54,710 --> 00:19:53,100 divine implication I have something 478 00:19:56,659 --> 00:19:54,720 that's bigger than us something that 479 00:19:59,120 --> 00:19:56,669 offers salvation and this is powerfully 480 00:20:01,220 --> 00:19:59,130 magnetic for a believer mindset you 481 00:20:03,620 --> 00:20:01,230 mentioned Robert Lauren cuts down he 482 00:20:06,620 --> 00:20:03,630 talks about the UFO mythological zone he 483 00:20:08,930 --> 00:20:06,630 talks about that as the gap between fact 484 00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:08,940 and belief between what we see and what 485 00:20:13,279 --> 00:20:11,130 we want to see what we experience and 486 00:20:15,470 --> 00:20:13,289 how we interpret it he says people are 487 00:20:17,180 --> 00:20:15,480 forming highly personalized variations 488 00:20:19,789 --> 00:20:17,190 of the one core belief the belief in a 489 00:20:22,310 --> 00:20:19,799 UFO reality and then all else is simply 490 00:20:24,590 --> 00:20:22,320 up for individual interpretation by this 491 00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:24,600 UFO mythological zone he says in the 492 00:20:26,990 --> 00:20:25,200 absence of 493 00:20:29,360 --> 00:20:27,000 many people simply choose what they want 494 00:20:31,159 --> 00:20:29,370 to believe and that really sums up the 495 00:20:33,529 --> 00:20:31,169 UFO scene I would say and that's how 496 00:20:35,509 --> 00:20:33,539 it's been for decades if I could just 497 00:20:37,250 --> 00:20:35,519 add and finish up on Lauren there 498 00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:37,260 because he does offering a ways of 499 00:20:43,159 --> 00:20:40,110 rethinking this and he calls it UFO 500 00:20:44,509 --> 00:20:43,169 social engineering 101 and he identifies 501 00:20:47,029 --> 00:20:44,519 you know that what are the major 502 00:20:48,500 --> 00:20:47,039 components of ufology there's the idea 503 00:20:50,659 --> 00:20:48,510 of deception and he points to whatever 504 00:20:52,610 --> 00:20:50,669 the UFO is so that the subject seems to 505 00:20:54,500 --> 00:20:52,620 cover itself up it's very slippery it's 506 00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:54,510 hard to get our our hands on it and 507 00:20:58,100 --> 00:20:56,010 there's a mythology that's created by 508 00:20:59,840 --> 00:20:58,110 design inside of such a space and then 509 00:21:02,659 --> 00:20:59,850 he says there's the delusion which is us 510 00:21:04,549 --> 00:21:02,669 and the whole UFO mythological zone and 511 00:21:06,230 --> 00:21:04,559 the notion of without having any 512 00:21:08,060 --> 00:21:06,240 scientific proof or evidence we make 513 00:21:09,409 --> 00:21:08,070 things up ourselves and build your own 514 00:21:10,250 --> 00:21:09,419 with mythology around it and then 515 00:21:12,500 --> 00:21:10,260 there's the government and 516 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:12,510 disinformation and it's control of the 517 00:21:16,730 --> 00:21:14,450 narrative and ultimately I think he 518 00:21:19,009 --> 00:21:16,740 addresses that whoever controls the 519 00:21:20,990 --> 00:21:19,019 narrative is going to determine what 520 00:21:22,789 --> 00:21:21,000 we're going to know about it and a lot 521 00:21:24,799 --> 00:21:22,799 of the narrative has been about healing 522 00:21:26,180 --> 00:21:24,809 the ETH and making a definitive answer 523 00:21:27,649 --> 00:21:26,190 to to what it is 524 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:27,659 hence the disclosure movement which is 525 00:21:32,539 --> 00:21:29,730 some kind of disastrous component of 526 00:21:34,970 --> 00:21:32,549 ufology what he arrives at at the end is 527 00:21:37,759 --> 00:21:34,980 well let's stop trying to fit it into 528 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:37,769 that box and the number of the writers 529 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:39,210 say that over and over and over again 530 00:21:42,980 --> 00:21:41,250 inside this book stop trying to fit it 531 00:21:44,990 --> 00:21:42,990 into any kind of preconceived box 532 00:21:47,870 --> 00:21:45,000 whether it's ETH or aliens from outer 533 00:21:49,610 --> 00:21:47,880 space let's just try to pursue some 534 00:21:51,649 --> 00:21:49,620 better understanding around it and a 535 00:21:53,269 --> 00:21:51,659 number of them speak to that in a great 536 00:21:54,769 --> 00:21:53,279 way and point out a lot of different 537 00:21:56,629 --> 00:21:54,779 alternatives for how we could go about 538 00:21:58,820 --> 00:21:56,639 investigating the phenomenon it's a 539 00:22:00,680 --> 00:21:58,830 critical book but it's constructive you 540 00:22:02,269 --> 00:22:00,690 know each essay tries to offer remedies 541 00:22:03,740 --> 00:22:02,279 and solutions for the problems that they 542 00:22:06,169 --> 00:22:03,750 highlight that's the crucial thing here 543 00:22:07,700 --> 00:22:06,179 it's not just a pile on beating of 544 00:22:09,889 --> 00:22:07,710 ufology there it there is that element 545 00:22:11,299 --> 00:22:09,899 of it because we need that in a sense 546 00:22:14,029 --> 00:22:11,309 you need a good hard slap in the face 547 00:22:16,220 --> 00:22:14,039 sometimes to get to snap you out of the 548 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:16,230 days that you're in to recognize that 549 00:22:18,740 --> 00:22:17,610 there are problems and then once you 550 00:22:20,240 --> 00:22:18,750 recognize that there are problems then 551 00:22:21,710 --> 00:22:20,250 you can you can start to offer solutions 552 00:22:23,810 --> 00:22:21,720 which is what we do throughout the book 553 00:22:26,330 --> 00:22:23,820 one thing that strikes me here and I've 554 00:22:28,850 --> 00:22:26,340 made this argument a lot of times on my 555 00:22:32,990 --> 00:22:28,860 own articles and that is that the 556 00:22:35,690 --> 00:22:33,000 framework of the current UFO field was 557 00:22:38,250 --> 00:22:35,700 fashioned in the 1950s with major Keyhoe 558 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:38,260 especially because he talked about UFO 559 00:22:42,450 --> 00:22:40,450 being spaceships about a silence group 560 00:22:44,310 --> 00:22:42,460 about the need for disclosure maybe he 561 00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:44,320 didn't use that term 562 00:23:00,210 -->

how the 698 00:28:43,740 --> 00:28:40,840 framework as I said of the UFO field was 699 00:28:46,410 --> 00:28:43,750 fashioned by people like major Keough in 700 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:46,420 the 50s and we all got stuck in a rut 701 00:28:51,990 --> 00:28:50,050 and unfortunately those of us who have 702 00:28:55,590 --> 00:28:52,000 tried to break out of it have not 703 00:28:57,540 --> 00:28:55,600 succeeded so guys and any one of you 704 00:29:00,480 --> 00:28:57,550 want to make the comment here do we take 705 00:29:01,220 --> 00:29:00,490 what was there was existed for over 60 706 00:29:08,790 --> 00:29:01,230 years 707 00:29:10,380 --> 00:29:08,800 all away pretend it doesn't exist no I 708 00:29:11,820 --> 00:29:10,390 don't think any of us is rejecting 709 00:29:14,460 --> 00:29:11,830 wholesale everything that's gone before 710 00:29:16,530 --> 00:29:14,470 not by not by any means and also it's 711 00:29:20,220 --> 00:29:16,540 worth pointing out that this is a very 712 00:29:22,170 --> 00:29:20,230 eclectic volume the contributors differ 713 00:29:25,140 --> 00:29:22,180 quite significantly in their 714 00:29:27,210 --> 00:29:25,150 perspectives on all of this and I've 715 00:29:29,310 --> 00:29:27,220 structured it in such a way that some of 716 00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:29,320 the essays in the first half of the book 717 00:29:34,470 --> 00:29:32,620 clash very directly and harshly in the 718 00:29:36,660 --> 00:29:34,480 interview points but I no I don't think 719 00:29:38,250 --> 00:29:36,670 it's about rejecting what's gonna what's 720 00:29:40,950 --> 00:29:38,260 gone before I think it's about looking 721 00:29:43,650 --> 00:29:40,960 into the past seeing what what is useful 722 00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:43,660 but also look at looking looking at how 723 00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:46,330 we can how we can move forward 724 00:29:49,590 --> 00:29:48,250 also that the point is is that is that 725 00:29:53,549 --> 00:29:49,600 as we've talked about before ufology is 726 00:29:55,889 --> 00:29:53,559 is a as a belief system and that's it's 727 00:29:57,720 --> 00:29:55,899 always going to be that regardless of 728 00:29:59,460 --> 00:29:57,730 how much science we inject into it it 729 00:30:01,590 --> 00:29:59,470 will always be attractive to believe a 730 00:30:04,019 --> 00:30:01,600 mindset because of the implications of 731 00:30:06,029 --> 00:30:04,029 the subject but you know ufology is as I 732 00:30:07,620 --> 00:30:06,039 said it's a new age religion and if if 733 00:30:09,450 --> 00:30:07,630 it's a new age religion then disclosure 734 00:30:11,940 --> 00:30:09,460 you mentioned that term before gene 735 00:30:14,279 --> 00:30:11,950 which is something that that Kehoe 736 00:30:16,409 --> 00:30:14,289 talked about if not directly then he was 737 00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:16,419 certainly very obsessed with the notion 738 00:30:22,259 --> 00:30:18,970 of a cover-up and and and bringing the 739 00:30:24,779 --> 00:30:22,269 secrets out into the open disclosure has 740 00:30:26,430 --> 00:30:24,789 become the holy grail of ufology and you 741 00:30:28,529 --> 00:30:26,440 followed gee I guess to a large extent 742 00:30:30,299 --> 00:30:28,539 has become what's known as XO politics 743 00:30:32,129 --> 00:30:30,309 which is this movement that's born of 744 00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:32,139 the Internet and based on the assumption 745 00:30:37,350 --> 00:30:34,450 that the term you know extraterrestrials 746 00:30:39,330 --> 00:30:37,360 are visiting us that they are here now 747 00:30:43,710 --> 00:30:39,340 that they are in constant communication 748 00:30:44,610 --> 00:30:43,720 and treaties with with the US government 749 00:30:46,529 --> 00:30:44,620 and other governments of the world 750 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:46,539 there's back-engineering of technologies 751 00:30:53,340 --> 00:30:51,130 that etc etc etc and that that's very 752 00:30:56,940 --> 00:30:53,350 sexy and that has a lot of appeal to 753 00:31:00,870 --> 00:30:56,950 people who who don't frankly have an 754 00:31:01,590 --> 00:31:00,880 awful lot of who don't enjoy critical 755 00:31:04,769 --> 00:31:01,600 thinking too much 756 00:31:06,750 --> 00:31:04,779 I mean that's not to say there's not 757 00:31:08,370 --> 00:31:06,760 there may be some truth there may be 758 00:31:11,460 --> 00:31:08,380 some truth to that scenario I don't I 759 00:31:12,899 --> 00:31:11,470 don't reject it wholesale but but but I 760 00:31:15,810 --> 00:31:12,909 think what we're suggesting is that the 761 00:31:17,190 --> 00:31:15,820 phenomenon if you know and some of the 762 00:31:18,690 --> 00:31:17,200 people in the book which would argue 763 00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:18,700 that there's no proof that there is that 764 00:31:22,740 --> 00:31:21,010 there even is a phenomena I would say 765 00:31:24,029 --> 00:31:22,750 that most of the contributors would 766 00:31:27,690 --> 00:31:24,039 agree that there is something anomalous 767 00:31:29,279 --> 00:31:27,700 underlying the offer phenomenon but but 768 00:31:30,980 --> 00:31:29,289 we don't have any proof that it's 769 00:31:33,930 --> 00:31:30,990 extraterrestrial as appealing as that 770 00:31:36,539 --> 00:31:33,940 hypothesis may be and it does have some 771 00:31:38,340 --> 00:31:36,549 surface logic to it but it's far from 772 00:31:40,110 --> 00:31:38,350 proving it it just says it's a 773 00:31:42,389 --> 00:31:40,120 hypothesis though other avenues to 774 00:31:43,919 --> 00:31:42,399 explore and a lot of the ideas that are 775 00:31:46,590 --> 00:31:43,929 explored in this book are not 776 00:31:50,909 --> 00:31:46,600 necessarily new but they are sidelined 777 00:31:52,080 --> 00:31:50,919 forgotten unpopular hard to get your 778 00:31:54,750 --> 00:31:52,090 head around because some of them are 779 00:31:56,570 --> 00:31:54,760 quite abstract so some of these ideas 780 00:31:59,990 --> 00:31:56,580 have been offered before by some 781 00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:00,000 renowned thinkers but they've been 782 00:32:04,250 --> 00:32:02,010 to decide pushed out of popular debate 783 00:32:06,260 --> 00:32:04,260 in favor of a more sexy simplistic 784 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:06,270 narrative and so what we're trying to do 785 00:32:10,850 --> 00:32:07,770 is reintroduce some of these more 786 00:32:13,790 --> 00:32:10,860 complex and potentially more useful 787 00:32:16,220 --> 00:32:13,800 ideas and theories into more mainstream 788 00:32:17,570 --> 00:32:16,230 Aoife logical debate and to get people 789 00:32:19,490 --> 00:32:17,580 thinking and you know I've not 790 00:32:21,260 --> 00:32:19,500 considered that before maybe maybe we 791 00:32:22,610 --> 00:32:21,270 don't have all the answers here maybe we 792 00:32:25,700 --> 00:32:22,620 should start thinking outside the box a 793 00:32:28,340 --> 00:32:25,710 little bit more what kind of audience 794 00:32:30,530 --> 00:32:28,350 Robbie and Robert do you expect to reach 795 00:32:33,590 --> 00:32:30,540 with this book the people who are just 796 00:32:36,230 --> 00:32:33,600 sick to death of where it is now trying 797 00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:36,240 to start from scratch what I think it 798 00:32:40,370 --> 00:32:38,730 will if I may answer that first is is 799 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:40,380 because I'm sure Rob will have his own 800 00:32:44,990 --> 00:32:42,690 thoughts on that but my idea on that is 801 00:32:48,170 --> 00:32:45,000 that this book will have very natural 802 00:32:50,950 --> 00:32:48,180 and immediate appeal to people who are 803 00:32:53,540 --> 00:32:50,960 as you say sick to the back teeth of of 804 00:32:57,050 --> 00:32:53,550 current popular ideas and of what of 805 00:33:00,020 --> 00:32:57,060 what ufology represents today people who 806 00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:00,030 are who are who would appreciate a good 807 00:33:03,230 --> 00:33:01,590 hard slap in the face for the field and 808 00:33:04,790 --> 00:33:03,240 that's what we offer and I think people 809 00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:04,800 will route those kind of people will 810 00:33:08,690 --> 00:33:06,120 relish this book at the same time I 811 00:33:10,070 --> 00:33:08,700 think that regardless of where you fall 812 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:10,080 along the spectrum of belief whether 813 00:33:14,330 --> 00:33:12,210 you're a skeptic or a believer for lack 814 00:33:16,250 --> 00:33:14,340 of manya one's terms something in this 815 00:33:18,830 --> 00:33:16,260 book will annoy you you will be annoyed 816 00:33:20,960 --> 00:33:18,840 guaranteed by at least one of the 817 00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:20,970 chapters or by statements or paragraphs 818 00:33:25,520 --> 00:33:23,310 within several chapters and that's the 819 00:33:27,140 --> 00:33:25,530 point it's not meant to please you it's 820 00:33:29,660 --> 00:33:27,150 meant to challenge you it's meant to 821 00:33:31,070 --> 00:33:29,670 make you challenge it to make them it's 822 00:33:32,870 --> 00:33:31,080 it's intended to make you question your 823 00:33:35,540 --> 00:33:32,880 own beliefs and what you're what you're 824 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:35,550 bringing to this yourself we want to 825 00:33:41,180 --> 00:33:37,890 deconstruct ideas we want you to 826 00:33:43,190 --> 00:33:41,190 deconstruct us as writers because we are 827 00:33:45,470 --> 00:33:43,200 I guess representative of a certain 828 00:33:46,970 --> 00:33:45,480 approach and so you can assess our 829 00:33:48,620 --> 00:33:46,980 approach based on what we what we 830 00:33:51,620 --> 00:33:48,630 present and you can assert you you can 831 00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:51,630 you can you can reject if if you know if 832 00:33:54,830 --> 00:33:53,370 you want to but if even if you even if 833 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:54,840 you reject the book completely at least 834 00:33:59,690 --> 00:33:56,730 it's it's had value in that sense you 835 00:34:01,310 --> 00:33:59,700 know and so we are we are expecting or 836 00:34:02,930 --> 00:34:01,320 at least I'm expecting a lot of one-star 837 00:34:04,580 --> 00:34:02,940 reviews on Amazon for example I'm 838 00:34:05,690 --> 00:34:04,590 expecting a lot of five-star reviews and 839 00:34:08,450 --> 00:34:05,700 Amazon I think it's going to be a little 840 00:34:09,740 --> 00:34:08,460 bit or hate it book but even the people 841 00:34:11,389 --> 00:34:09,750 who love it will find something to hate 842 00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:11,399 within it within it and even the people 843 00:34:16,730 --> 00:34:13,530 who hate it will find something to love 844 00:34:18,110 --> 00:34:16,740 so it's that kind of book I so I think 845 00:34:21,290 --> 00:34:18,120 it'll have natural appeal for people who 846 00:34:23,570 --> 00:34:21,300 are critical thinkers but my hope is 847 00:34:26,030 --> 00:34:23,580 that it that it transcends that and it 848 00:34:29,240 --> 00:34:26,040 actually reaches a more popular youthful 849 00:34:32,780 --> 00:34:29,250 aaja chol audience i want people to read 850 00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:32,790 it who have fixed ideas and who are very 851 00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:36,210 sympathetic to the eth and to the to the 852 00:34:40,070 --> 00:34:37,770 conspiratorial you falah jekyll 853 00:34:42,050 --> 00:34:40,080 narrative i want people to you know I 854 00:34:44,180 --> 00:34:42,060 want XO politicians to read it I want 855 00:34:45,350 --> 00:34:44,190 people to you know because otherwise 856 00:34:47,119 --> 00:34:45,360 there's no point if we're just preaching 857 00:34:50,000 --> 00:34:47,129 to the converted then there's no point I 858 00:34:51,820 --> 00:34:50,010 want it to reach people so how do we 859 00:34:56,090 --> 00:34:51,830 attract the people who have been 860 00:34:57,770 --> 00:34:56,100 brainwashed well I think if you've been 861 00:34:59,210 --> 00:34:57,780 completely brainwashed it's it's 862 00:35:01,100 --> 00:34:59,220 difficult I don't think anyone is 863 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:01,110 completely beyond reach and I said in a 864 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:02,490 previous interview that you know I'm 865 00:35:10,790 --> 00:35:08,370 coming to this from ah you know I used 866 00:35:12,500 --> 00:35:10,800 you know I think we're all believers to 867 00:35:16,220 --> 00:35:12,510 an extent in the sense that in the lack 868 00:35:19,670 --> 00:35:16,230 of definitive evidence for for you know 869 00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:19,680 to kind of pin down a UFO reality that's 870 00:35:24,290 --> 00:35:21,570 universally acceptable in the lack of 871 00:35:27,350 --> 00:35:24,300 that proof all we have really is belief 872 00:35:29,690 --> 00:35:27,360 and and whether it be a you know 873 00:35:33,070 --> 00:35:29,700 skeptical or more or more accepting we 874 00:35:36,850 --> 00:35:33,080 have we're all believers to an extent I 875 00:35:39,890 --> 00:35:36,860 just a few years ago was was far more 876 00:35:44,540 --> 00:35:39,900 aligned to the traditional you know 877 00:35:49,790 --> 00:35:44,550 exopolitical kind of very simplistic 878 00:35:51,050 --> 00:35:49,800 version of a UFO reality and it's only 879 00:35:53,870 --> 00:35:51,060 through it's only over the last several 880 00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:53,880 years that I've had my mind expanded and 881 00:35:58,880 --> 00:35:56,430 that I've challenged and challenged my 882 00:36:01,040 --> 00:35:58,890 own beliefs and shattered them really 883 00:36:04,910 --> 00:36:01,050 and allowed other people to break them 884 00:36:06,590 --> 00:36:04,920 down so that I can start to pick up the 885 00:36:08,060 --> 00:36:06,600 pieces and see what remains you know and 886 00:36:10,790 --> 00:36:08,070 sit and see what see what it looks like 887 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:10,800 now so that this this book is a 888 00:36:14,990 --> 00:36:12,810 challenge to myself really it's it's 889 00:36:17,570 --> 00:36:15,000 it's a challenge from an indulgent 890 00:36:19,610 --> 00:36:17,580 perspective of seeing what I what I 891 00:36:23,060 --> 00:36:19,620 still believe do I still believe what I 892 00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:23,070 used to believe what essays in the book 893 00:36:27,089 --> 00:36:25,650 offend me do I do I find any of any of 894 00:36:29,460 --> 00:36:27,099 the writing in the book and 895 00:36:31,769 --> 00:36:29,470 being offensive to my sensibilities or 896 00:36:33,329 --> 00:36:31,779 beliefs and to an extent yes I do and 897 00:36:34,829 --> 00:36:33,339 that's why they're in there because if 898 00:36:35,969 --> 00:36:34,839 you're not reading things that challenge 899 00:36:38,390 --> 00:36:35,979 you then if you just want to read 900 00:36:40,769 --> 00:36:38,400 something that confirms your existing 901

for the book and I think he 1029 00:42:24,779 --> 00:42:22,989 could have done more but but I mean like 1030 00:42:26,729 --> 00:42:24,789 I could have asked more of him but I 1031 00:42:28,919 --> 00:42:26,739 didn't want to I didn't want to do that 1032 00:42:30,389 --> 00:42:28,929 to him what he's done in the book these 1033 00:42:32,099 --> 00:42:30,399 original illustrations are absolutely 1034 00:42:32,459 --> 00:42:32,109 fantastic and they do make it quite 1035 00:42:36,149 --> 00:42:32,469 unique 1036 00:42:37,919 --> 00:42:36,159 you mentioned Greg bishops essay there 1037 00:42:40,859 --> 00:42:37,929 and that's this one that's a huge 1038 00:42:42,449 --> 00:42:40,869 favorite of Roberts I know I didn't rub 1039 00:42:44,549 --> 00:42:42,459 it wanted to touch on that a little bit 1040 00:42:45,959 --> 00:42:44,559 sure but I'd like to just make a side 1041 00:42:47,429 --> 00:42:45,969 point about rpj because I've had a 1042 00:42:50,669 --> 00:42:47,439 chance to get to know him over this past 1043 00:42:52,919 --> 00:42:50,679 year and his essay is absolutely a joy 1044 00:42:54,449 --> 00:42:52,929 to read it stands in the middle of all 1045 00:42:56,879 --> 00:42:54,459 the other ones is in such a unique 1046 00:42:58,709 --> 00:42:56,889 writing style and anybody knows his wit 1047 00:43:00,779 --> 00:42:58,719 and listen to him online just imagine it 1048 00:43:03,329 --> 00:43:00,789 concentrated inside of essay form it is 1049 00:43:05,370 --> 00:43:03,339 classic hilarious entertaining fun 1050 00:43:07,199 --> 00:43:05,380 filled with his art it's a such a 1051 00:43:09,209 --> 00:43:07,209 dynamic piece and it comes out of you 1052 00:43:11,429 --> 00:43:09,219 know a very unexpected zone and he's got 1053 00:43:14,219 --> 00:43:11,439 something extremely unique to say about 1054 00:43:16,709 --> 00:43:14,229 with UFO means to him as an act of 1055 00:43:18,839 --> 00:43:16,719 personal alchemy but as well as how the 1056 00:43:20,399 --> 00:43:18,849 UFO is you know agent of chaos and 1057 00:43:23,339 --> 00:43:20,409 society which is I think a theme that a 1058 00:43:25,199 --> 00:43:23,349 lot of the writers talk about the you 1059 00:43:26,250 --> 00:43:25,209 know the UFOs productive a creative 1060 00:43:28,470 --> 00:43:26,260 force 1061 00:43:29,820 --> 00:43:28,480 in our culture and it's a wonderful 1062 00:43:32,670 --> 00:43:29,830 essay for people who pick up the book 1063 00:43:36,180 --> 00:43:32,680 that's a great one to start with it is 1064 00:43:39,480 --> 00:43:36,190 yeah he's focuses his is anarchy and the 1065 00:43:41,490 --> 00:43:39,490 UFO is the ultimate annika symbol I 1066 00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:41,500 guess in modern modern society how it 1067 00:43:45,630 --> 00:43:43,690 challenges all the structures the whole 1068 00:43:48,230 --> 00:43:45,640 society together it is a fascinating 1069 00:43:51,990 --> 00:43:48,240 piece and as you say brilliantly written 1070 00:43:53,670 --> 00:43:52,000 yeah but Greg's essay for me is like 1071 00:43:55,590 --> 00:43:53,680 worth the price of admission I've read 1072 00:43:57,870 --> 00:43:55,600 that piece a number of times I think 1073 00:44:00,030 --> 00:43:57,880 it's pretty definitive work having read 1074 00:44:02,370 --> 00:44:00,040 a lot of diverse materials from I think 1075 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:02,380 some fairly strong writers in the field 1076 00:44:07,950 --> 00:44:05,410 over the last years I'm drawn always to 1077 00:44:10,080 --> 00:44:07,960 Greg's mode of thinking because he's not 1078 00:44:12,150 --> 00:44:10,090 an absolutist he's always constantly 1079 00:44:14,130 --> 00:44:12,160 asking questions and probing and looking 1080 00:44:15,540 --> 00:44:14,140 for new ways to look at the field and I 1081 00:44:17,400 --> 00:44:15,550 think he's perhaps one of the more 1082 00:44:21,390 --> 00:44:17,410 innovative thinkers we've got writing 1083 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:21,400 right now in his paper is just a strong 1084 00:44:25,260 --> 00:44:23,770 wonderful text it's academic it's 1085 00:44:27,570 --> 00:44:25,270 thoughtful its summative of the field 1086 00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:27,580 he's critical of it he points in various 1087 00:44:32,220 --> 00:44:30,010 new directions and gives you know for 1088 00:44:33,810 --> 00:44:32,230 both a new reader to the field a really 1089 00:44:35,430 --> 00:44:33,820 good historical lens on how to think 1090 00:44:37,830 --> 00:44:35,440 about ufology and for people who've 1091 00:44:40,109 --> 00:44:37,840 studied it for a long time he provides a 1092 00:44:42,570 --> 00:44:40,119 whole cavalcade of new ways of thinking 1093 00:44:44,490 --> 00:44:42,580 about the the the field and he asks a 1094 00:44:46,620 --> 00:44:44,500 bunch of different questions for us and 1095 00:44:48,300 --> 00:44:46,630 and points us in some new directions and 1096 00:44:48,930 --> 00:44:48,310 I think his pieces are really exciting 1097 00:44:50,849 --> 00:44:48,940 one 1098 00:44:53,490 --> 00:44:50,859 I should mention quickly about red pill 1099 00:44:55,500 --> 00:44:53,500 junky he wrote an editorial for our 1100 00:44:58,830 --> 00:44:55,510 power cash newsletter where he was 1101 00:45:01,560 --> 00:44:58,840 comparing near-death experiences to UFO 1102 00:45:03,599 --> 00:45:01,570 abductions and of course I said you know 1103 00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:03,609 how about giving us a short editorial 1104 00:45:09,570 --> 00:45:06,130 like a thousand words I think it's five 1105 00:45:12,450 --> 00:45:09,580 or six thousand words and then some and 1106 00:45:14,790 --> 00:45:12,460 I'd recommend it heartily especially 1107 00:45:17,280 --> 00:45:14,800 whether you've read this book or not 1108 00:45:20,520 --> 00:45:17,290 reframing the debate UFOs reframing the 1109 00:45:23,580 --> 00:45:20,530 debate or maybe in preparation read that 1110 00:45:26,010 --> 00:45:23,590 get a sense of how red pill junky thinks 1111 00:45:27,599 --> 00:45:26,020 is out-of-the-box thinking and then go 1112 00:45:29,910 --> 00:45:27,609 ahead and read this book Andrea's essay 1113 00:45:31,609 --> 00:45:29,920 there but that glaze is a whole bunch of 1114 00:45:34,590 --> 00:45:31,619 fascinating discussions because 1115 00:45:37,410 --> 00:45:34,600 everybody's living in this simple world 1116 00:45:39,810 --> 00:45:37,420 where near-death experiences well of 1117 00:45:40,549 --> 00:45:39,820 course maybe you were clinically dead 1118 00:45:43,009 --> 00:45:40,559 for 1119 00:45:45,469 --> 00:45:43,019 three four minutes and you see something 1120 00:45:48,529 --> 00:45:45,479 that may or may not be real but UFO 1121 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:48,539 abductions no it CT coming down and 1122 00:45:53,059 --> 00:45:51,170 they're doing their crazy quilt 1123 00:45:56,469 --> 00:45:53,069 examinations on us with primitive 1124 00:45:59,420 --> 00:45:56,479 instruments and scaring us to death and 1125 00:46:00,890 --> 00:45:59,430 they're raping women and causing hybrid 1126 00:46:03,890 --> 00:46:00,900 aliens and doing all sorts of crazy 1127 00:46:07,189 --> 00:46:03,900 stuff you know everyone's in a little 1128 00:46:09,229 --> 00:46:07,199 box yeah he touches on that in his essay 1129 00:46:11,569 --> 00:46:09,239 in the book as well you know he looks at 1130 00:46:13,749 --> 00:46:11,579 the idea that we're blinded by 1131 00:46:17,239 --> 00:46:13,759 preconceptions of my scientific 1132 00:46:19,519 --> 00:46:17,249 preconceptions which be enforced by pop 1133 00:46:21,229 --> 00:46:19,529 culture I guess a complemented by pop 1134 00:46:23,569 --> 00:46:21,239 cultural representations of alien 1135 00:46:25,959 --> 00:46:23,579 contact you know that the phenomenon 1136 00:46:29,420 --> 00:46:25,969 itself doesn't seem to conform 1137 00:46:31,670 --> 00:46:29,430 frustratingly to to what we wanted to to 1138 00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:31,680 be in terms of first contact scenarios 1139 00:46:36,679 --> 00:46:34,170 you know the idea of a sorcerer on the 1140 00:46:40,039 --> 00:46:36,689 White House lawn or a or a decipherable 1141 00:46:41,959 --> 00:46:40,049 message received by SETI etc it seems to 1142 00:46:44,959 --> 00:46:41,969 do things that are completely anarchic 1143 00:46:48,349 --> 00:46:44,969 and that are trickster ish and playful 1144 00:46:49,939 --> 00:46:48,359 and frustrating and it just doesn't 1145 00:46:52,219 --> 00:46:49,949 conform to our expectations and 1146 00:46:55,069 --> 00:46:52,229 therefore it's hard to put under a glass 1147 00:46:57,169 --> 00:46:55,079 and study and so so yeah he touches on 1148 00:46:59,329 --> 00:46:57,179 similar themes in this and he's got a 1149 00:47:02,029 --> 00:46:59,339 great quote from Keith Thompson author 1150 00:47:04,249 --> 00:47:02,039 of angels and aliens UFOs and the mythic 1151 00:47:06,949 --> 00:47:04,259 imagination and he talks about how you 1152 00:47:10,880 --> 00:47:06,959 know for the UFO witness or experiencer 1153 00:47:13,099 --> 00:47:10,890 both the skeptic and the proponent you 1154 00:47:16,160 --> 00:47:13,109 know the person who champions this this 1155 00:47:18,319 --> 00:47:16,170 phenomenon is is a an ETH notion but 1156 00:47:21,049 --> 00:47:18,329 neither seem to fit for the witness and 1157 00:47:22,609 --> 00:47:21,059 what Greg highlights is is that as I 1158 00:47:25,039 --> 00:47:22,619 think many writers inside the text 1159 00:47:26,359 --> 00:47:25,049 highlight that there's the nature of the 1160 00:47:28,069 --> 00:47:26,369 witness story which is something very 1161 00:47:30,289 --> 00:47:28,079 unique and that's what my calling calls 1162 00:47:31,759 --> 00:47:30,299 himself he says he's a folklorist and 1163 00:47:32,839 --> 00:47:31,769 he's simply collecting stories and 1164 00:47:34,609 --> 00:47:32,849 letting these narratives speak for 1165 00:47:37,370 --> 00:47:34,619 themselves which i think is a very 1166 00:47:39,349 --> 00:47:37,380 honorable way of looking at it versus 1167 00:47:40,489 --> 00:47:39,359 the mythological zone where you've got 1168 00:47:42,469 --> 00:47:40,499 different people interpreting these 1169 00:47:43,669 --> 00:47:42,479 experiences say somebody like a Jacobs 1170 00:47:45,799 --> 00:47:43,679 that's saying that the aliens are here 1171 00:47:48,079 --> 00:47:45,809 busy living with us on earth and making 1172 00:47:49,249 --> 00:47:48,089 these absolute judgments about what's 1173 00:47:52,069 --> 00:47:49,259 taking place even though there's no 1174 00:47:54,260 --> 00:47:52,079 basis in reality to make such pieces and 1175 00:47:55,940 --> 00:47:54,270 and what Greg highlights is is that 1176 00:47:57,590 --> 00:47:55,950 let's spend more time thinking about the 1177 00:47:59,420 --> 00:47:57,600 witness and giving them some primacy and 1178 00:48:01,850 --> 00:47:59,430 I think that is the dominant theme 1179 00:48:03,260 --> 00:48:01,860 within this collection is let's spend 1180 00:48:05,210 --> 00:48:03,270 more time thinking more carefully about 1181 00:48:06,470 --> 00:48:05,220 how we treat the witness how we talk 1182 00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:06,480 with the witness how we serve the 1183 00:48:11,060 --> 00:48:08,130 witness because at the end of the day 1184 00:48:12,830 --> 00:48:11,070 that's the base foundation of what 1185 00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:12,840 anything you want to call ufology is 1186 00:48:16,430 --> 00:48:14,850 about or our witnesses who have these 1187 00:48:17,810 --> 00:48:16,440 incredible stories that they have to 1188 00:48:19,250 --> 00:48:17,820 tell and then there's the people who 1189 00:48:20,750 --> 00:48:19,260 interpret them and make up the laws and 1190 00:48:22,220 --> 00:48:20,760 the religion as they always have and 1191 00:48:23,960 --> 00:48:22,230 says and this is what this means as 1192 00:48:26,390 --> 00:48:23,970 opposed to maybe listening more 1193 00:48:27,650 --> 00:48:26,400 carefully to the witness story because 1194 00:48:29,180 --> 00:48:27,660 at the end of the day the UFOs come and 1195 00:48:31,220 --> 00:48:29,190 gone but what we do have left as a 1196 00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:31,230 witness has been profoundly impacted and 1197 00:48:36,500 --> 00:48:33,300 that's the place that we should be 1198 00:48:38,030 --> 00:48:36,510 sinking more careful energy into island 1199 00:48:39,110 --> 00:48:38,040 so you would read that for example in 1200 00:48:40,610 --> 00:48:39,120 the book and think yeah that makes a lot 1201 00:48:42,440 --> 00:48:40,620 of sense I and I kind of really agree 1202 00:48:44,780 --> 00:48:42,450 with that and then in the in for example 1203 00:48:46,880 --> 00:48:44,790 so as you say Cleland my cleland 1204 00:48:48,710 --> 00:48:46,890 champions that idea and others do as 1205 00:48:50,810 --> 00:48:48,720 well but in the essay that directly 1206 00:48:53,630 --> 00:48:50,820 follows Mike Collins which is by Jack 1207 00:48:55,640 --> 00:48:53,640 Brewer he projects outright that 1208 00:48:58,220 --> 00:48:55,650 approach and says that witness testimony 1209 00:49:00,380 --> 00:48:58,230 is virtually worthless or the testimony 1210 00:49:03,020 --> 00:49:00,390 of an individual witness is virtually 1211 00:49:05,660 --> 00:49:03,030 worse worthless and then he goes on to 1212 00:49:07,130 --> 00:49:05,670 sort of explain why he feels that's the 1213 00:49:09,230 --> 00:49:07,140 case and makes a very good case for that 1214 00:49:10,490 --> 00:49:09,240 again that's that this comes down to the 1215 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:10,500 structure of the book from my 1216 00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:13,290 perspective as an editor I wanted the 1217 00:49:17,660 --> 00:49:16,410 Edit the essays to clash and conflict so 1218 00:49:20,390 --> 00:49:17,670 that the reader is never really sure 1219 00:49:22,040 --> 00:49:20,400 what to believe it just as you feel you 1220 00:49:24,590 --> 00:49:22,050 might be close to drawing a conclusion 1221 00:49:27,050 --> 00:49:24,600 or something might be close to making 1222 00:49:28,820 --> 00:49:27,060 sense you read the next essay and all of 1223 00:49:30,170 --> 00:49:28,830 a sudden those ideas that are thrown out 1224 00:49:32,060 --> 00:49:30,180 the window and yet you presented the new 1225 00:49:33,620 --> 00:49:32,070 ones and you feel sort of lost and I've 1226 00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:33,630 said this before that by the end of the 1227 00:49:37,730 --> 00:49:35,310 book I want the reader to feel to an 1228 00:49:38,930 --> 00:49:37,740 extent lost and I don't provide a 1229 00:49:41,150 --> 00:49:38,940 conclusion at the end of the book 1230 00:49:42,770 --> 00:49:41,160 because I want the reader to draw their 1231 00:49:44,420 --> 00:49:42,780 own conclusions to the extent that that 1232 00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:44,430 is possible and it may not be possible 1233 00:49:47,870 --> 00:49:46,410 I want the reader to feel lost because 1234 00:49:49,100 --> 00:49:47,880 when you're lost you're asking questions 1235 00:49:51,410 --> 00:49:49,110 and you start looking for any direction 1236 00:49:55,180 --> 00:49:51,420 well the big problem of course we 1237 00:49:58,460 --> 00:49:55,190 continue to have here is that the 1238 00:50:02,060 --> 00:49:58,470 mainstream world out there is our 1239 00:50:06,140 --> 00:50:02,070 totally different planet they are not in 1240 00:50:07,549 --> 00:50:06,150 this universe their universe is et their 1241 00:50:10,309 --> 00:50:07,559 universe is disclosed 1242 00:50:13,130 --> 00:50:10,319 sure very universe is Roswell and 1243 00:50:17,150 --> 00:50:13,140 Roswell is not possibly some kind of 1244 00:50:18,709 --> 00:50:17,160 test aircraft or a balloon or testing of 1245 00:50:21,469 --> 00:50:18,719 human subjects or anything like that 1246 00:50:26,089 --> 00:50:21,479 they're really smart and possibly 1247 00:50:32,150 --> 00:50:26,099 relevant interpretations it is the 1950s 1248 00:50:34,969 --> 00:50:32,160 revisited this is a sculpture it is a 1249 00:50:37,459 --> 00:50:34,979 pop culture and it's very hard to undo 1250 00:50:38,929 --> 00:50:37,469 and it's become it has become just yeah 1251 00:50:42,829 --> 00:50:38,939 central to pop common you've had fringe 1252 00:50:44,870 --> 00:50:42,839 culture become pop culture over several 1253 00:50:46,719 --> 00:50:44,880 decades and really the popularization of 1254 00:50:50,599 --> 00:50:46,729 that fringe called join into pop culture 1255 00:50:53,329 --> 00:50:50,609 occurred very rapidly and beginning in 1256 00:50:54,979 --> 00:50:53,339 the late 80s through throughout the 90s 1257 00:50:57,259 --> 00:50:54,989 then I mean it was occurring before that 1258 00:50:59,089 --> 00:50:57,269 on a lower level but then when you start 1259 00:51:03,739 --> 00:50:59,099 to have things like the x-files which 1260 00:51:05,779 --> 00:51:03,749 were just acting is like a parasite and 1261 00:51:07,189 --> 00:51:05,789 all of this rich mythology that existed 1262 00:51:09,009 --> 00:51:07,199 and the fringes and in the subcultures 1263 00:51:12,259 --> 00:51:09,019 and then thrusting it into pop culture 1264 00:51:14,989 --> 00:51:12,269 through TV and film it was irreversible 1265 00:51:17,359 --> 00:51:14,999 land and that just became part of the 1266 00:51:19,519 --> 00:51:17,369 popular imagination and you know from in 1267 00:51:21,169 --> 00:51:19,529 1988 no one had even heard of area 51 1268 00:51:24,099 --> 00:51:21,179 except for a handful of people in the 1269 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:24,109 UFO community by like 1993 it was 1270 00:51:27,620 --> 00:51:26,130 everywhere everyone had some 1271 00:51:30,079 --> 00:51:27,630 understanding of what it represented and 1272 00:51:31,099 --> 00:51:30,089 by 1996 it was in the biggest movie one 1273 00:51:33,650 --> 00:51:31,109 of the biggest movies of all time 1274

course Independence Day picking up all 1338 00:54:38,520 --> 00:54:36,069 those cultural memes taking everybody to 1339 00:54:40,589 --> 00:54:38,530 area 51 where they have the bodies of 1340 00:54:42,210 --> 00:54:40,599 the aliens and they have the captured 1341 00:54:46,049 --> 00:54:42,220 spaceship at Roswell except they 1342 00:54:48,720 --> 00:54:46,059 captured it in the 1950s you know I mean 1343 00:54:51,599 --> 00:54:48,730 you know some of that script continuity 1344 00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:51,609 could have been fixed so but the point 1345 00:54:56,579 --> 00:54:54,130 is they listened to that the x-files did 1346 00:54:58,440 --> 00:54:56,589 - but the x-files had its new 1347 00:55:02,809 --> 00:54:58,450 incarnation last year and it's going to 1348 00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:02,819 be a another season probably next year 1349 00:55:09,809 --> 00:55:07,690 they threw out some of that meme and 1350 00:55:12,150 --> 00:55:09,819 they came up with something else so now 1351 00:55:14,370 --> 00:55:12,160 they learned yeah maybe the aliens 1352 00:55:16,920 --> 00:55:14,380 landed at Roswell but all the nonsense 1353 00:55:19,730 --> 00:55:16,930 that's happened since then has been done 1354 00:55:22,200 --> 00:55:19,740 by our own government in part using 1355 00:55:23,930 --> 00:55:22,210 reverse engineered technology from 1356 00:55:27,150 --> 00:55:23,940 Roswell have you noticed that change 1357 00:55:29,220 --> 00:55:27,160 well what's so fascinating about the new 1358 00:55:32,819 --> 00:55:29,230 series of the x-files the one that's 1359 00:55:33,990 --> 00:55:32,829 just gone is that you had a break 1360 00:55:35,490 --> 00:55:34,000 someone might correct me if I'm wrong 1361 00:55:38,460 --> 00:55:35,500 here but I think got a gap between 1362 00:55:41,579 --> 00:55:38,470 season 9 which was the previous the last 1363 00:55:43,470 --> 00:55:41,589 season of the old series in 2009 had a 1364 00:55:45,690 --> 00:55:43,480 gap of about 14 years between that 1365 00:55:49,260 --> 00:55:45,700 season and this new season and in that 1366 00:55:52,859 --> 00:55:49,270 time you had an absolute explosive 1367 00:55:55,410 --> 00:55:52,869 blossoming of conspiracy culture largely 1368 00:55:58,170 --> 00:55:55,420 thanks to the internet and what you had 1369 00:55:59,900 --> 00:55:58,180 was a sort of a homogeneous Asian a 1370 00:56:02,490 --> 00:55:59,910 coalescence of lots of different 1371 00:56:04,680 --> 00:56:02,500 conspiracy strands all weaved together 1372 00:56:06,690 --> 00:56:04,690 into an ultimate grand conspiracy and 1373 00:56:09,020 --> 00:56:06,700 the creators of the x-files Kris 1374 00:56:11,430 --> 00:56:09,030 Carter's and others have obviously been 1375 00:56:14,309 --> 00:56:11,440 observing this with great fascination 1376 00:56:15,810 --> 00:56:14,319 and have relished the opportunity to to 1377 00:56:17,660 --> 00:56:15,820 weave all of that into 1378 00:56:21,270 --> 00:56:17,670 the very first episode of the new series 1379 00:56:22,290 --> 00:56:21,280 did so very effectively in a sense of 1380 00:56:24,330 --> 00:56:22,300 unifying all of these conspiracy 1381 00:56:26,970 --> 00:56:24,340 theories which have been emerging over 1382 00:56:29,430 --> 00:56:26,980 the past sort of decade or so but they 1383 00:56:31,530 --> 00:56:29,440 did so at the expense of a kind of a 1384 00:56:33,780 --> 00:56:31,540 dramatic narrative because they were so 1385 00:56:37,230 --> 00:56:33,790 zealous to to get everything in there 1386 00:56:38,880 --> 00:56:37,240 that the mystery of the series is gone 1387 00:56:40,820 --> 00:56:38,890 but anyway that's that's by the by but 1388 00:56:44,580 --> 00:56:40,830 the point is is that the that yeah they 1389 00:56:47,850 --> 00:56:44,590 do not underestimate the massive power 1390 00:56:51,420 --> 00:56:47,860 of televisual of visual media television 1391 00:56:54,180 --> 00:56:51,430 and cinema to shape our perceptions of 1392 00:56:55,710 --> 00:56:54,190 the world around us the British 1393 00:56:57,720 --> 00:56:55,720 filmmaker Ken Russell once said that 1394 00:56:59,310 --> 00:56:57,730 Hollywood fills the gaps in our 1395 00:57:01,050 --> 00:56:59,320 knowledge of the world and I think that 1396 00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:01,060 is such a profoundly true statement and 1397 00:57:05,730 --> 00:57:02,530 it's it's especially true when it comes 1398 00:57:07,380 --> 00:57:05,740 to our knowledge so-called of UFOs or we 1399 00:57:09,180 --> 00:57:07,390 have our gaps in knowledge and so what 1400 00:57:10,620 --> 00:57:09,190 fills those gaps well it's pop culture 1401 00:57:12,720 --> 00:57:10,630 essentially for the for people who 1402 00:57:15,720 --> 00:57:12,730 aren't reading UFO literature what fills 1403 00:57:17,730 --> 00:57:15,730 those gaps is pop culture is movies and 1404 00:57:21,030 --> 00:57:17,740 TV shows and those TV shows and movies 1405 00:57:23,970 --> 00:57:21,040 feed like a parasite on this rich sub 1406 00:57:26,430 --> 00:57:23,980 cultural narrative and New Age religion 1407 00:57:29,010 --> 00:57:26,440 and they they they read the same books 1408 00:57:31,730 --> 00:57:29,020 as UFO believers and they they use it 1409 00:57:33,990 --> 00:57:31,740 for dramatic purposes and they weave 1410 00:57:35,970 --> 00:57:34,000 so-called you Falah djegal fact which 1411 00:57:37,980 --> 00:57:35,980 itself is usually speculative with 1412 00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:37,990 completely imagined fiction and they 1413 00:57:43,740 --> 00:57:42,010 create this hyper real world where where 1414 00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:43,750 UFOs and all of the things that are 1415 00:57:47,910 --> 00:57:46,090 associated with them are simultaneously 1416 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:47,920 fact and fantasy in the popular 1417 00:57:51,750 --> 00:57:49,810 imagination is no separating the two and 1418 00:57:53,970 --> 00:57:51,760 no one has any interest in separating 1419 00:57:54,600 --> 00:57:53,980 the two if it were ever possible in the 1420 00:57:56,160 --> 00:57:54,610 first place 1421 00:57:59,880 --> 00:57:56,170 so one of the examples they use is 1422 00:58:03,690 --> 00:57:59,890 Roswell in fact where Roswell is the the 1423 00:58:05,010 --> 00:58:03,700 movie Roswell the 1994 TV movie produced 1424 00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:05,020 by paul davids and written by paul 1425 00:58:08,760 --> 00:58:06,730 davids this is a this was the film that 1426 00:58:10,620 --> 00:58:08,770 really thrust the Roswell incident into 1427 00:58:12,750 --> 00:58:10,630 pop culture people were aware of it 1428 00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:12,760 within the UFO community at that point 1429 00:58:17,280 --> 00:58:14,650 in prior to that but it still wasn't a 1430 00:58:19,830 --> 00:58:17,290 huge huge thing up until that point but 1431 00:58:22,470 --> 00:58:19,840 then that that film was based on a 1432 00:58:25,410 --> 00:58:22,480 couple of bucks a couple of UFO books a 1433 00:58:27,630 --> 00:58:25,420 nonfiction loose please that term 1434 00:58:29,230 --> 00:58:27,640 loosely you know it was seen by millions 1435 00:58:31,240 --> 00:58:29,240 of people on showtime TV 1436 00:58:33,460 --> 00:58:31,250 was nominated for Golden Globe and then 1437 00:58:36,210 --> 00:58:33,470 that movie crystallized all of these are 1438 00:58:38,020 --> 00:58:36,220 the kind of abstract loose ideas 1439 00:58:39,850 --> 00:58:38,030 crystallized them and it crucially 1440 00:58:41,530 --> 00:58:39,860 narrative eyes them that's what TV and 1441 00:58:43,150 --> 00:58:41,540 cinema do is they narrative eyes ideas 1442 00:58:45,150 --> 00:58:43,160 in it and they make sense out of life 1443 00:58:47,320 --> 00:58:45,160 out of history out of situations I 1444 00:58:48,940 --> 00:58:47,330 should probably stop ranting anyway cuz 1445 00:58:52,030 --> 00:58:48,950 I'm going off on my cinema rants here 1446 00:58:54,760 --> 00:58:52,040 but but the idea is is that to summarize 1447 00:58:58,030 --> 00:58:54,770 obviously film and TV have a huge huge 1448 00:58:59,859 --> 00:58:58,040 effect on our understanding of a 1449 00:59:01,359 --> 00:58:59,869 misunderstanding of the world around us 1450 00:59:02,590 --> 00:59:01,369 they simplify things because they 1451 00:59:04,930 --> 00:59:02,600 narrative eyes things and the world 1452 00:59:08,140 --> 00:59:04,940 doesn't conform life doesn't conform to 1453 00:59:10,300 --> 00:59:08,150 narrative structures and so so cinema 1454 00:59:13,230 --> 00:59:10,310 simplifies life for us and it simplifies 1455 00:59:15,940 --> 00:59:13,240 things that we don't understand 1456 00:59:18,550 --> 00:59:15,950 especially UFOs we don't send them to 1457 00:59:20,830 --> 00:59:18,560 begin with and so our understanding has 1458 00:59:23,590 --> 00:59:20,840 come through simplified cinematic and 1459 00:59:26,050 --> 00:59:23,600 televisual narratives and so that has a 1460 00:59:28,530 --> 00:59:26,060 massive effect on what on popular belief 1461 00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:28,540 and assumptions and it's all framed 1462 00:59:32,980 --> 00:59:31,010 through the extra-terrestrial hypothesis 1463 00:59:35,290 --> 00:59:32,990 because cinema likes to keep things 1464 00:59:36,700 --> 00:59:35,300 simple you know another example there is 1465 00:59:39,820 --> 00:59:36,710 a Steven Spielberg when he was making 1466 00:59:44,380 --> 00:59:39,830 Close Encounters of the Third Kind in in 1467 00:59:47,680 --> 00:59:44,390 1976 1977 he was consulting with Jacques 1468 00:59:49,349 --> 00:59:47,690 Vallee and Jacques Vallee insisted that 1469 00:59:52,030 --> 00:59:49,359 Spielberg should explore 1470 00:59:57,220 --> 00:59:52,040 interdimensional hypotheses or more 1471 00:59:58,870 --> 00:59:57,230 complex you know multifaceted ideas than 1472 01:00:00,190 --> 00:59:58,880 just extraterrestrial visitation and 1473 01:00:01,390 --> 01:00:00,200 Spielberg said well you know that might 1474 01:00:03,490 --> 01:00:01,400 well be the case that might be very 1475 01:00:06,220 --> 01:00:03,500 interesting he said but I want to give 1476 01:00:09,250 --> 01:00:06,230 people what they expect and he knew this 1477 01:00:10,859 --> 01:00:09,260 the aliens in metal spacecraft coming 1478 01:00:12,970 --> 01:00:10,869 from in a from another 1479 01:00:14,980 --> 01:00:12,980 another galaxy or another star system 1480 01:00:17,109 --> 01:00:14,990 was easier to package and easier to 1481 01:00:18,430 --> 01:00:17,119 digest for the audiences and so 1482 01:00:21,790 --> 01:00:18,440 Hollywood likes to keep things simple 1483 01:00:25,530 --> 01:00:21,800 and so yeah so Hollywood keeps it simple 1484 01:00:29,290 --> 01:00:25,540 ufology keeps it simple is it simple I 1485 01:00:31,150 --> 01:00:29,300 would say probably not well you know 1486 01:00:33,550 --> 01:00:31,160 another thing too I think bears 1487 01:00:36,400 --> 01:00:33,560 mentioning is that when you have a 1488 01:00:42,530 --> 01:00:36,410 popular movie like Close Encounters or a 1489 01:00:47,390 --> 01:00:44,540 well the outer limits comes to mind 1490 01:00:50,660 --> 01:00:47,400 Twilight Zone obviously in the 90s the 1491 01:00:55,190 --> 01:00:50,670 x-files I I have noticed that there 1492 01:01:00,350 --> 01:00:55,200 seems to be a kind of a real obvious 1493 01:01:03,920 --> 01:01:00,360 reaction in in public fascination with 1494 01:01:07,370 --> 01:01:03,930 these programs which 10 tends to I think 1495 01:01:09,710 --> 01:01:07,380 result in the increased numbers of 1496 01:01:13,970 --> 01:01:09,720 sightings I think when people are 1497 01:01:16,460 --> 01:01:13,980 inspired by a certain scientific science 1498 01:01:19,190 --> 01:01:16,470 fiction or scientific motif that has to 1499 01:01:21,080 --> 01:01:19,200 do with with ETS and aliens they tend to 1500 01:01:24,110 --> 01:01:21,090 be more observant of the night sky or 1501 01:01:26,780 --> 01:01:24,120 their environment around them during the 1502 01:01:30,710 --> 01:01:26,790 day and I think that that has a way of 1503 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:30,720 possibly whether it's spontaneous 1504 01:01:36,560 --> 01:01:33,330 whether it's you know kind of a rolling 1505 01:01:41,380 --> 01:01:36,570 motion to the culture you do see more 1506 01:01:43,970 --> 01:01:41,390 sighting events being reported and being 1507 01:01:46,160 --> 01:01:43,980 held up for for the rest of the culture 1508 01:01:48,590 --> 01:01:46,170 to observe and and I think that there's 1509 01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:48,600 there's a real obvious cause and effect 1510 01:01:55,430 --> 01:01:52,110 relationship between coverage of of the 1511 01:01:58,550 --> 01:01:55,440 et extraterrestrial alien meme in the 1512 01:01:59,750 --> 01:01:58,560 culture and actual response within the 1513 01:02:02,420 --> 01:01:59,760 culture were kind of a call 1514 01:02:05,720 --> 01:02:02,430 calling response and that's something 1515 01:02:09,250 --> 01:02:05,730 that I I've been fascinated by and and I 1516 01:02:12,140 --> 01:02:09,260 really think goes towards a psychosocial 1517 01:02:15,890 --> 01:02:12,150 sort of analysis of the whole phenomena 1518 01:02:18,860 --> 01:02:15,900 and well I think more at least in my 1519 01:02:20,510 --> 01:02:18,870 mind more work needs to be done in these 1520 01:02:25,790 --> 01:02:20,520 areas I think they could be infinitely 1521 01:02:28,100 --> 01:02:25,800 rewarding I agree I I looked at this 1522 01:02:29,630 --> 01:02:28,110 when I was doing my research myself a 1523 01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:29,640 screen sources book and I looked at this 1524 01:02:34,490 --> 01:02:31,770 a lot for a long long long time the 1525 01:02:36,110 --> 01:02:34,500 years in fact and people do talk 1526 01:02:38,420 --> 01:02:36,120 generally about this idea of a feedback 1527 01:02:40,310 --> 01:02:38,430 loop between what people see on screen 1528 01:02:41,740 --> 01:02:40,320 and what people report in real life and 1529 01:02:44,930 --> 01:02:41,750 there being a direct correlation between 1530 01:02:46,820 --> 01:02:44,940 real world sightings and big blockbuster 1531 01:02:49,970 --> 01:02:46,830 movies and things like that in reality 1532 01:02:53,720 --> 01:02:49,980 it's very hard to make those 1533 01:02:55,990 --> 01:02:53,730 correlations there are a handful of 1534 01:02:58,600 --> 01:02:56,000 examples where you can point to increase 1535 01:03:00,970 --> 01:02:58,610 sightings demonstrably following the 1536 01:03:03,220 --> 01:03:00,980 release of a major movie I think Close 1537 01:03:08,770 --> 01:03:03,230 Encounters was really it was definitely 1538 01:03:12,010 --> 01:03:08,780 one but but at the same time the effect 1539 01:03:13,930 --> 01:03:12,020 of cinema more broadly it is it's not 1540 01:03:17,770 --> 01:03:13,940 it's not cinema doesn't have direct 1541 01:03:19,570 --> 01:03:17,780 effects it has a macro effect well I was 1542 01:03:21,250 --> 01:03:19,580 challenged that when they're a bit 1543 01:03:22,840 --> 01:03:21,260 Robbie because I would say that the very 1544 01:03:25,330 --> 01:03:22,850 act of seeing is something that's 1545 01:03:27,400 --> 01:03:25,340 informed by you know memory and what 1546 01:03:28,930 --> 01:03:27,410 we've seen before and I think one of the 1547 01:03:31,090 --> 01:03:28,940 things that both Greg and I try to make 1548 01:03:33,100 --> 01:03:31,100 the case for is that the cultural impact 1549 01:03:36,460 --> 01:03:33,110 of these cinematic representations of 1550 01:03:38,290 --> 01:03:36,470 the UFO probably have an incredible 1551 01:03:41,470 --> 01:03:38,300 amount to do with what in fact is 1552 01:03:43,630 --> 01:03:41,480 reported by a witness because they tend 1553 01:03:45,550 --> 01:03:43,640 to dress it then with the skins of the 1554 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:45,560 things that they know about we've got 1555 01:03:57,529 --> 01:03:48,530 Robert Branstetter Ravi Graham gene and 1556 01:04:01,770 --> 01:04:00,029 attack of the rock AIDS has been

01:08:26,839 here where of course when we see 1671 01:08:33,250 --> 01:08:30,170 something our cultural conditioning puts 1672 01:08:34,930 --> 01:08:33,260 the dress around it what we see but I 1673 01:08:36,700 --> 01:08:34,940 wanted to add something here that 1674 01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:36,710 occurred to me is we're listening so 1675 01:08:41,290 --> 01:08:39,050 when you have a UFO movie or something 1676 01:08:43,390 --> 01:08:41,300 that sparks interest in UFOs people see 1677 01:08:44,950 --> 01:08:43,400 more of them is that because there are 1678 01:08:48,160 --> 01:08:44,960 more things to see out there and we just 1679 01:08:50,590 --> 01:08:48,170 start looking or the phenomenon picks up 1680 01:08:52,420 --> 01:08:50,600 on it well I think the the simple 1681 01:08:54,310 --> 01:08:52,430 explanation that would be this simply 1682 01:08:55,720 --> 01:08:54,320 and I can testify to this myself so I 1683 01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:55,730 didn't see Close Encounters of the Third 1684 01:08:59,040 --> 01:08:57,290 Kind until I was 16 years old 1685 01:09:00,579 --> 01:08:59,050 and that when I was already like 1686 01:09:04,240 --> 01:09:00,589 consuming all of the literature 1687 01:09:05,740 --> 01:09:04,250 feverishly and so this was just like the 1688 01:09:08,020 --> 01:09:05,750 most amazing film I'd ever seen it still 1689 01:09:10,060 --> 01:09:08,030 at my favorite films it's a brilliant 1690 01:09:12,400 --> 01:09:10,070 brilliant film but I watched it for the 1691 01:09:14,620 --> 01:09:12,410 first time and I was awestruck by it and 1692 01:09:15,730 --> 01:09:14,630 then I stepped out when it finished when 1693 01:09:17,829 --> 01:09:15,740 the credits would roll they stepped out 1694 01:09:20,170 --> 01:09:17,839 into my back garden as a 16 year old 1695 01:09:21,970 --> 01:09:20,180 they looked across the horizon and guess 1696 01:09:24,130 --> 01:09:21,980 what I saw a UFO and I stood and looked 1697 01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:24,140 at this UFO and I stood and I watched it 1698 01:09:27,880 --> 01:09:26,570 for 30 40 minutes look through 1699 01:09:29,829 --> 01:09:27,890 binoculars and what is it what is it 1700 01:09:32,500 --> 01:09:29,839 what is it turned out to be a planet but 1701 01:09:33,730 --> 01:09:32,510 because I had seen that film I directly 1702 01:09:35,320 --> 01:09:33,740 saw him saying things don't have a 1703 01:09:38,140 --> 01:09:35,330 direct effect they did they can have 1704 01:09:39,940 --> 01:09:38,150 direct effects but broadly speaking so 1705 01:09:42,190 --> 01:09:39,950 it's obviously that inspired me to go 1706 01:09:43,870 --> 01:09:42,200 out and look at the sky so the effect 1707 01:09:46,599 --> 01:09:43,880 there is that it doesn't necessarily 1708 01:09:48,099 --> 01:09:46,609 shape what you see but it encourages you 1709 01:09:49,750 --> 01:09:48,109 to actually go and look at the sky and 1710 01:09:52,240 --> 01:09:49,760 therefore you but you're more likely to 1711 01:09:53,740 --> 01:09:52,250 see and that was my point before yeah 1712 01:09:55,570 --> 01:09:53,750 but I agree with what Robert was saying 1713 01:09:58,750 --> 01:09:55,580 in since they you know we can dress 1714 01:10:01,180 --> 01:09:58,760 things in the skin but when I talk about 1715 01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:01,190 cinema not having a direct effect what I 1716 01:10:05,560 --> 01:10:03,290 meant there was for example a film like 1717 01:10:07,960 --> 01:10:05,570 Natural Born Killers which is hugely 1718 01:10:09,520 --> 01:10:07,970 hugely controversial in 1994 Oliver 1719 01:10:12,310 --> 01:10:09,530 Stone's film ultra violent film which is 1720 01:10:15,250 --> 01:10:12,320 commentary on on violence and media 1721 01:10:17,080 --> 01:10:15,260 sensationalism that film the expectation 1722 01:10:18,970 --> 01:10:17,090 is that you see a Tarantino movie like 1723 01:10:21,340 --> 01:10:18,980 you know and so for example conservative 1724 01:10:22,190 --> 01:10:21,350 critics will argue that films will 1725 01:10:23,630 --> 01:10:22,200 encourage pee 1726 01:10:25,280 --> 01:10:23,640 people to the violent films will 1727 01:10:27,440 --> 01:10:25,290 encourage people to go out and commit 1728 01:10:29,210 --> 01:10:27,450 violence it's just this this absolutely 1729 01:10:31,850 --> 01:10:29,220 never been any evidence of it whatsoever 1730 01:10:33,620 --> 01:10:31,860 you know apart from a handful a handful 1731 01:10:35,930 --> 01:10:33,630 of very very small cases where you've 1732 01:10:38,030 --> 01:10:35,940 got people who are already psychotic or 1733 01:10:39,560 --> 01:10:38,040 mentally imbalanced whoo-hoo yes have 1734 01:10:41,510 --> 01:10:39,570 been you know triggered by something 1735 01:10:44,120 --> 01:10:41,520 they've seen but people who are 1736 01:10:46,280 --> 01:10:44,130 otherwise mentally stable you're 1737 01:10:48,080 --> 01:10:46,290 well-adjusted individuals are not going 1738 01:10:49,850 --> 01:10:48,090 to watch you know a Tarantino movie and 1739 01:10:51,980 --> 01:10:49,860 then go on a killing spree so it doesn't 1740 01:10:53,540 --> 01:10:51,990 have that kind of direct impact that a 1741 01:10:55,990 --> 01:10:53,550 lot of conservative critics would argue 1742 01:10:59,510 --> 01:10:56,000 that it does but certainly over time 1743 01:11:01,250 --> 01:10:59,520 cinema can shape our perceptions of a 1744 01:11:03,800 --> 01:11:01,260 great many things in a very broad sense 1745 01:11:05,090 --> 01:11:03,810 absolutely and I would also add because 1746 01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:05,100 I don't think I'm too interested in the 1747 01:11:09,860 --> 01:11:07,170 notion of you know cinema or these pop 1748 01:11:12,620 --> 01:11:09,870 cultural representations creating cases 1749 01:11:14,420 --> 01:11:12,630 sightings but I do think that they have 1750 01:11:16,910 --> 01:11:14,430 a lot to do with the nature of how we 1751 01:11:18,650 --> 01:11:16,920 see and one of the rules of about seeing 1752 01:11:20,930 --> 01:11:18,660 that I've learned from from studying 1753 01:11:22,610 --> 01:11:20,940 this part and I think both Greg and I 1754 01:11:24,230 --> 01:11:22,620 tend to put a lot of emphasis on the 1755 01:11:25,730 --> 01:11:24,240 nature of perception consciousness 1756 01:11:27,320 --> 01:11:25,740 memory and the act of seeing and how 1757 01:11:29,120 --> 01:11:27,330 does that that work and one of the rules 1758 01:11:30,590 --> 01:11:29,130 about seeing is you see what you expect 1759 01:11:32,360 --> 01:11:30,600 to see so as soon as you've bought 1760 01:11:33,590 --> 01:11:32,370 yourself a new car for example suddenly 1761 01:11:35,270 --> 01:11:33,600 you're going to be seeing that car all 1762 01:11:36,740 --> 01:11:35,280 over the place I didn't notice how many 1763 01:11:38,480 --> 01:11:36,750 people were smoking in society until I 1764 01:11:41,660 --> 01:11:38,490 took up smoking again after a 16 year 1765 01:11:43,190 --> 01:11:41,670 absence and and I think that the the act 1766 01:11:45,080 --> 01:11:43,200 of seeing needs to be looked at more 1767 01:11:47,570 --> 01:11:45,090 specifically more critically and that's 1768 01:11:49,040 --> 01:11:47,580 what the essays at the close of the text 1769 01:11:51,050 --> 01:11:49,050 focus on one third of our brain is 1770 01:11:52,490 --> 01:11:51,060 devoted to seeing if you're a UFO 1771 01:11:53,660 --> 01:11:52,500 investigator and you're studying people 1772 01:11:55,250 --> 01:11:53,670 are seeing very strange and bizarre 1773 01:11:57,560 --> 01:11:55,260 things and maybe we should take some 1774 01:11:59,990 --> 01:11:57,570 time to think about how the very act of 1775 01:12:01,430 --> 01:12:00,000 seeing works what the role of memory is 1776 01:12:04,100 --> 01:12:01,440 when it comes to reporting that what's 1777 01:12:06,110 --> 01:12:04,110 been seen what else impacts and effects 1778 01:12:07,790 --> 01:12:06,120 the nature of seeing and how to seem 1779 01:12:08,840 --> 01:12:07,800 even work in the first place especially 1780 01:12:11,390 --> 01:12:08,850 when it's confronted with something 1781 01:12:13,670 --> 01:12:11,400 perhaps that it can't see quite properly 1782 01:12:16,340 --> 01:12:13,680 or it's never seen before or maybe even 1783 01:12:18,620 --> 01:12:16,350 stretches the boundaries of human 1784 01:12:20,210 --> 01:12:18,630 perception in the first place and so for 1785 01:12:22,340 --> 01:12:20,220 whatever reason why we might interact 1786 01:12:24,380 --> 01:12:22,350 with that external stimulus we should be 1787 01:12:25,760 --> 01:12:24,390 thinking about why the reports come back 1788 01:12:27,920 --> 01:12:25,770 the way they do because some of them are 1789 01:12:29,660 --> 01:12:27,930 absolutely utterly surreal and Greg 1790 01:12:32,480 --> 01:12:29,670 makes some really good mention of one 1791 01:12:34,160 --> 01:12:32,490 where I think it's 1966 Man Drive since 1792 01:12:34,970 --> 01:12:34,170 he's a rocketship parked by the side of 1793 01:12:36,620 --> 01:12:34,980 the road 1794 01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:36,630 and what comes out of it but walking 1795 01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:39,330 beer cans with little probes coming so 1796 01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:41,010 does that mean utterly surreal pieces 1797 01:12:45,050 --> 01:12:43,290 and ufology filled with those that we 1798 01:12:46,580 --> 01:12:45,060 don't take time to think about it it 1799 01:12:48,350 --> 01:12:46,590 certainly speaks to Gregg's you know 1800 01:12:50,479 --> 01:12:48,360 major concept which is the idea of the 1801 01:12:53,330 --> 01:12:50,489 co-creation hypothesis that the human 1802 01:12:55,490 --> 01:12:53,340 witness is richly involved with helping 1803 01:12:58,190 --> 01:12:55,500 to create what in fact has been seen and 1804 01:13:00,770 --> 01:12:58,200 reported on I'd like to quote you 1805 01:13:02,750 --> 01:13:00,780 actually Rob but if I may in the body on 1806 01:13:05,120 --> 01:13:02,760 that on the idea of seeing and 1807 01:13:07,820 --> 01:13:05,130 perception you say that if we are to 1808 01:13:09,620 --> 01:13:07,830 better know the UFO then we must first 1809 01:13:12,260 --> 01:13:09,630 learn how to how to disentangle 1810 01:13:14,210 --> 01:13:12,270 ourselves from the hallucinatory nature 1811 01:13:16,580 --> 01:13:14,220 of seeing and accept that much of what 1812 01:13:18,710 --> 01:13:16,590 is reported in close encounter events is 1813 01:13:20,240 --> 01:13:18,720 so very strange because it is beyond the 1814 01:13:22,040 --> 01:13:20,250 borders of what can be witnessed and 1815 01:13:23,780 --> 01:13:22,050 Greg touches on similar themes as you 1816 01:13:25,670 --> 01:13:23,790 say says you know how much do we bring 1817 01:13:26,930 --> 01:13:25,680 to the dance in a paranormal encounter 1818 01:13:28,160 --> 01:13:26,940 in other words how much of the UFO 1819 01:13:29,840 --> 01:13:28,170 experience is the result of our 1820 01:13:31,670 --> 01:13:29,850 subconscious minds trying to make sense 1821 01:13:33,860 --> 01:13:31,680 of unexpected startling and or 1822 01:13:35,690 --> 01:13:33,870 frightening input and leaving us with an 1823 01:13:38,690 --> 01:13:35,700 insane placeholder when we can't decide 1824 01:13:40,550 --> 01:13:38,700 on anything else so yeah you guys focus 1825 01:13:42,530 --> 01:13:40,560 on the idea of at the very moment of 1826 01:13:44,450 --> 01:13:42,540 seeing the very act of seeing and how 1827 01:13:45,830 --> 01:13:44,460 things can be distorted very 1828 01:13:47,660 --> 01:13:45,840 dramatically even in that moment 1829 01:13:50,330 --> 01:13:47,670 especially when confronted with 1830 01:13:52,610 --> 01:13:50,340 phenomena at the peripheries of of 1831 01:13:54,350 --> 01:13:52,620 everyday experience and then also then 1832 01:13:57,830 --> 01:13:54,360 when we come to recall those events how 1833 01:13:59,210 --> 01:13:57,840 much baggage we we add to that so that 1834 01:14:00,560 --> 01:13:59,220 what we actually report by the time we 1835 01:14:02,150 --> 01:14:00,570 actually come to report it and by the 1836 01:14:06,080 --> 01:14:02,160 time then it's passed over to someone 1837 01:14:07,790 --> 01:14:06,090 else and and reported further how far is 1838 01:14:09,440 --> 01:14:07,800 that from what was actually witnessed 1839 01:14:12,050 --> 01:14:09,450 and I think the answer is probably very 1840 01:14:13,610 --> 01:14:12,060 far in a lot of cases yeah I agree and 1841 01:14:14,690 --> 01:14:13,620 that's where you know Ruhr says just 1842 01:14:17,270 --> 01:14:14,700 throw out the whole witness piece 1843 01:14:18,590 --> 01:14:17,280 altogether and Greg even asks you know 1844 01:14:20,360 --> 01:14:18,600 it's being questioned in courts of law 1845 01:14:22,790 --> 01:14:20,370 increasingly is that the truth and 1846 01:14:24,500 --> 01:14:22,800 weight of witness testimony because I 1847 01:14:25,910 --> 01:14:24,510 think the argument Greg and I both make 1848 01:14:27,470 --> 01:14:25,920 that what we are seeing is something 1849 01:14:29,570 --> 01:14:27,480 that's perhaps at the edges of human 1850 01:14:32,660 --> 01:14:29,580 perception are at the edge of the 1851 01:14:34,070 --> 01:14:32,670 capacity of our biology that we need to 1852 01:14:36,290 --> 01:14:34,080 look a little bit more carefully at 1853 01:14:38,660 --> 01:14:36,300 maybe who that witness is what was going 1854 01:14:40,190 --> 01:14:38,670 on before they saw what they saw what 1855 01:14:42,320 --> 01:14:40,200 happened during what happened after and 1856 01:14:43,670 --> 01:14:42,330 be very careful with the nature of the 1857 01:14:45,560 --> 01:14:43,680 questions that are being asked and 1858 01:14:47,810 --> 01:14:45,570 really just allow people to to tell 1859 01:14:48,870 --> 01:14:47,820 their story and get involved in in those 1860 01:14:50,970 --> 01:14:48,880 ways because it 1861 01:14:52,590 --> 01:14:50,980 a very complex event this witnessing of 1862 01:14:55,320 --> 01:14:52,600 that alien ship or whatever you want to 1863 01:14:56,430 --> 01:14:55,330 describe it as you ap UFO and and you 1864 01:14:58,140 --> 01:14:56,440 know just thinking about my own 1865 01:14:59,820 --> 01:14:58,150 experience and seeing two ships on an 1866 01:15:01,410 --> 01:14:59,830 ice rink when I was nine I still 1867 01:15:03,450 --> 01:15:01,420 remember that one of the first thoughts 1868 01:15:05,129 --> 01:15:03,460 that came into my head as one ship 1869 01:15:06,959 --> 01:15:05,139 started descending closer to us on the 1870 01:15:08,399 --> 01:15:06,969 rink is in my mind I heard a voice say 1871 01:15:10,709 --> 01:15:08,409 you know what's going to happen next 1872 01:15:12,959 --> 01:15:10,719 you're going to get abducted so now 1873 01:15:15,060 --> 01:15:12,969 something had to inform that prior to me 1874 01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:15,070 seeing that obviously I am front loaded 1875 01:15:19,320 --> 01:15:17,530 with you know cultural baggage that is 1876 01:15:21,240 --> 01:15:19,330 defining the experience as it's 1877 01:15:22,800 --> 01:15:21,250 happening right in front of me and so we 1878 01:15:24,209 --> 01:15:22,810 need to be quite thoughtful about the 1879 01:15:26,939 --> 01:15:24,219 nature of perception and consciousness 1880 01:15:29,629 --> 01:15:26,949 and and how these things intersect with 1881 01:15:32,580 --> 01:15:29,639 something is awesome as witnessing a UFO 1882 01:15:33,240 --> 01:15:32,590 I'm loving this man this this is what I 1883 01:15:34,979 --> 01:15:33,250 live for 1884 01:15:38,820 --> 01:15:34,989 when it comes to this I mean I've been 1885 01:15:40,649 --> 01:15:38,830 screaming for 25 years that it's not so 1886 01:15:43,560 --> 01:15:40,659 much what's being experienced it's 1887 01:15:46,979 --> 01:15:43,570 important it's the experiencer and why 1888 01:15:48,780 --> 01:15:46,989 that particular person was selected by 1889 01:15:50,820 --> 01:15:48,790 chance to have that particular 1890 01:15:53,510 --> 01:15:50,830 experience at that particular time in 1891 01:15:55,890 --> 01:15:53,520 their in their day night life 1892 01:15:58,470 --> 01:15:55,900 multi-generational life who knows how 1893 01:16:00,629 --> 01:15:58,480 deeply rooted some of these experiences 1894 01:16:02,729 --> 01:16:00,639 can be and after you've talked with the 1895 01:16:05,100 --> 01:16:02,739 three generations of individuals that 1896 01:16:08,270 --> 01:16:05,110 have had experiences it really starts to 1897 01:16:12,360 --> 01:16:08,280 make you question the very nature of 1898 01:16:15,270 --> 01:16:12,370

01:21:54,780 this whole area is is a perfect petri 2026 01:22:00,410 --> 01:21:57,600 dish for societal manipulation you know 2027 01:22:05,979 --> 01:22:00,420 if we can conceive of doing that as a 2028 01:22:08,510 --> 01:22:05,989 bunch of evolved Apes basically imagine 2029 01:22:10,879 --> 01:22:08,520 some sort of intelligence whether it's 2030 01:22:13,700 --> 01:22:10,889 extraterrestrial or terrestrial for for 2031 01:22:15,770 --> 01:22:13,710 that matter that it's a thousand years 2032 01:22:18,709 --> 01:22:15,780 ahead of us ten thousand years a million 2033 01:22:20,359 --> 01:22:18,719 years imagine that the types of 2034 01:22:23,240 --> 01:22:20,369 programming that they could do with 2035 01:22:27,020 --> 01:22:23,250 basic primal symbols and images to 2036 01:22:29,030 --> 01:22:27,030 subtly steer mass collective human 2037 01:22:31,010 --> 01:22:29,040 behavior and belief the mind boggles 2038 01:22:34,040 --> 01:22:31,020 when you really look at the implications 2039 01:22:37,310 --> 01:22:34,050 of the UFO phenomenon and get beyond the 2040 01:22:39,590 --> 01:22:37,320 basic I'm so tired of looking at the 2041 01:22:42,169 --> 01:22:39,600 internet and somebody you know posting 2042 01:22:45,080 --> 01:22:42,179 some oh look at this incredible sighting 2043 01:22:47,479 --> 01:22:45,090 and it's somebody has literally lifted a 2044 01:22:50,600 --> 01:22:47,489 billy meier beam ship or a George 2045 01:22:53,540 --> 01:22:50,610 Adamski image and and superimposed it on 2046 01:22:57,109 --> 01:22:53,550 some scene it's just so obvious to me 2047 01:22:59,959 --> 01:22:57,119 that we are being led by our collective 2048 01:23:02,600 --> 01:22:59,969 nose in a particular direction and it's 2049 01:23:04,609 --> 01:23:02,610 only like people arabiya has you know 2050 01:23:07,189 --> 01:23:04,619 been able to crawl together for this 2051 01:23:09,200 --> 01:23:07,199 book and and we including myself and a 2052 01:23:12,020 --> 01:23:09,210 number of other very very creative 2053 01:23:13,700 --> 01:23:12,030 thinkers who are even aware that there's 2054 01:23:16,910 --> 01:23:13,710 a potential that there's something more 2055 01:23:21,620 --> 01:23:16,920 going on than the simple ETH you know 2056 01:23:23,660 --> 01:23:21,630 I'm Gregg his dog me and JP you know red 2057 01:23:25,970 --> 01:23:23,670 red pill junky is his dog knee about 2058 01:23:29,270 --> 01:23:25,980 being too concerned about the true 2059 01:23:31,040 --> 01:23:29,280 believers and there's no need to try to 2060 01:23:35,959 --> 01:23:31,050 pull them out of there 2061 01:23:38,629 --> 01:23:35,969 you know shallow very laughable 2062 01:23:40,700 --> 01:23:38,639 system there's no point I mean it's 2063 01:23:44,049 --> 01:23:40,710 almost like you know they couldn't even 2064 01:23:46,370 --> 01:23:44,059 begin to conceive of what is going on 2065 01:23:48,080 --> 01:23:46,380 based on their their their total 2066 01:23:51,680 --> 01:23:48,090 entrenchment and into that particular 2067 01:23:53,359 --> 01:23:51,690 mode so it's their thing it's doing them 2068 01:23:55,399 --> 01:23:53,369 well leave them alone 2069 01:23:58,910 --> 01:23:55,409 I don't agree with that and I think 2070 01:24:01,969 --> 01:23:58,920 Robbie's book this compilation book is a 2071 01:24:04,250 --> 01:24:01,979 huge step forward within two boards that 2072 01:24:07,040 --> 01:24:04,260 you can open the thing up and and really 2073 01:24:10,580 --> 01:24:07,050 gain some insight into the more creative 2074 01:24:14,330 --> 01:24:10,590 thinkers in the field and and creative 2075 01:24:17,350 --> 01:24:14,340 perspectives that really get your you 2076 01:24:20,419 --> 01:24:17,360 know wheels of intellectual curiosity 2077 01:24:23,629 --> 01:24:20,429 kind of get them oiled and get them 2078 01:24:28,819 --> 01:24:23,639 starting to to function a little bit 2079 01:24:32,029 --> 01:24:28,829 more stridently uh so anyway my hat's 2080 01:24:34,609 --> 01:24:32,039 off to you guys um you know burnt a 2081 01:24:37,459 --> 01:24:34,619 really good way to finish the whole 2082 01:24:39,620 --> 01:24:37,469 thing up I really like Greg's idea of 2083 01:24:43,520 --> 01:24:39,630 the co-creative process these are all 2084 01:24:45,560 --> 01:24:43,530 really important avenues of thought that 2085 01:24:48,850 --> 01:24:45,570 have been proposed and I think anybody 2086 01:24:51,859 --> 01:24:48,860 who has a real you know real passion for 2087 01:24:53,839 --> 01:24:51,869 knowledge and understanding in the field 2088 01:24:57,140 --> 01:24:53,849 needs to start thinking along these 2089 01:25:00,200 --> 01:24:57,150 these you know avenues going down these 2090 01:25:02,390 --> 01:25:00,210 these these alleys and into some of them 2091 01:25:05,060 --> 01:25:02,400 are cul-de-sac some of them lead onto 2092 01:25:07,390 --> 01:25:05,070 two freeways I think it's important to 2093 01:25:10,640 --> 01:25:07,400 explore these these creative thinking 2094 01:25:12,200 --> 01:25:10,650 rationales and ideas and without that 2095 01:25:15,229 --> 01:25:12,210 we're going to be spinning our wheels 2096 01:25:17,660 --> 01:25:15,239 for another 70 years I'm sorry you know 2097 01:25:20,299 --> 01:25:17,670 I have an interesting dilemma that I see 2098 01:25:22,520 --> 01:25:20,309 for something like this we have a number 2099 01:25:24,229 --> 01:25:22,530 of people out there who are interested 2100 01:25:27,319 --> 01:25:24,239 in out-of-the-box thinking we'll buy a 2101 01:25:28,969 --> 01:25:27,329 book like this and we'll appreciate 2102 01:25:30,649 --> 01:25:28,979 what's being done whether they agree 2103 01:25:33,589 --> 01:25:30,659 with the essays or not 2104 01:25:36,500 --> 01:25:33,599 and I'm wondering then you're invited 2105 01:25:38,779 --> 01:25:36,510 onto a TV or radio show and they ask you 2106 01:25:42,200 --> 01:25:38,789 to explain any of this and their 2107 01:25:45,109 --> 01:25:42,210 precondition with UFOs or spaceships 2108 01:25:48,500 --> 01:25:45,119 they're solid craft the government knows 2109 01:25:49,250 --> 01:25:48,510 something there's disclosure involved 2110 01:25:52,700 --> 01:25:49,260 there's a sign 2111 01:25:55,520 --> 01:25:52,710 screwball the old UFO memes aliens crash 2112 01:25:57,859 --> 01:25:55,530 at Roswell and how the heck do you tell 2113 01:26:01,790 --> 01:25:57,869 them any of this in a way they 2114 01:26:04,040 --> 01:26:01,800 understand it can it be even marketed it 2115 01:26:06,109 --> 01:26:04,050 content to this book you mean yeah how 2116 01:26:07,549 --> 01:26:06,119 do you market this to the masses or K 2117 01:26:09,649 --> 01:26:07,559 look probably not 2118 01:26:11,060 --> 01:26:09,659 Robert yeah I don't know if you can 2119 01:26:12,290 --> 01:26:11,070 market it to the masses I was thinking 2120 01:26:13,970 --> 01:26:12,300 about that question earlier you know 2121 01:26:15,649 --> 01:26:13,980 who's the book for and the book is for 2122 01:26:19,580 --> 01:26:15,659 skeptics because they're gonna find a 2123 01:26:22,910 --> 01:26:19,590 lot of you know critical in te th ante 2124 01:26:25,790 --> 01:26:22,920 UFO as religion kind of thematic sin 2125 01:26:29,029 --> 01:26:25,800 here it's for believers because it 2126 01:26:31,149 --> 01:26:29,039 points to a lot of alternative ways of 2127 01:26:33,790 --> 01:26:31,159 thinking and kind of confirmations of 2128 01:26:37,970 --> 01:26:33,800 UFO reality based on very subjective 2129 01:26:39,259 --> 01:26:37,980 thinking but it's also for anybody who's 2130 01:26:41,330 --> 01:26:39,269 been stuck in the middle and is 2131 01:26:43,310 --> 01:26:41,340 extremely curious about it and we know 2132 01:26:44,870 --> 01:26:43,320 from you know the forums for example 2133 01:26:47,419 --> 01:26:44,880 there's a lot of really deeply curious 2134 01:26:50,240 --> 01:26:47,429 people that aren't necessarily satisfied 2135 01:26:51,799 --> 01:26:50,250 with one answer or the other and want to 2136 01:26:54,080 --> 01:26:51,809 investigate the middle ground and I 2137 01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:54,090 think this book investigates middle 2138 01:26:57,649 --> 01:26:56,010 ground in such a rich way because 2139 01:26:59,779 --> 01:26:57,659 there's so many dynamic writers that 2140 01:27:00,979 --> 01:26:59,789 work contrary to each other as well as 2141 01:27:02,750 --> 01:27:00,989 one of the things if you read the book 2142 01:27:04,850 --> 01:27:02,760 from beginning to end there is an 2143 01:27:06,830 --> 01:27:04,860 evolution of some very specific themes 2144 01:27:09,049 --> 01:27:06,840 that are at work that lead the reader I 2145 01:27:11,839 --> 01:27:09,059 think to a pretty pretty interesting you 2146 01:27:14,419 --> 01:27:11,849 know new new ways of visioning things so 2147 01:27:17,029 --> 01:27:14,429 in that way I think the market best is 2148 01:27:18,950 --> 01:27:17,039 to anybody who's never read a UFO book 2149 01:27:20,839 --> 01:27:18,960 before and you're interested then take 2150 01:27:22,040 --> 01:27:20,849 this one because as Robbie mentioned 2151 01:27:24,080 --> 01:27:22,050 elsewhere you know this will save you 2152 01:27:26,629 --> 01:27:24,090 about ten years of misery and buying a 2153 01:27:28,370 --> 01:27:26,639 bunch of bunk that's out there that is 2154 01:27:30,500 --> 01:27:28,380 just based on belief systems and here's 2155 01:27:32,060 --> 01:27:30,510 some good critical thinking that I think 2156 01:27:35,020 --> 01:27:32,070 no matter where you come from in the 2157 01:27:37,669 --> 01:27:35,030 field you'll be satisfied and angry and 2158 01:27:39,799 --> 01:27:37,679 interested yeah I say I say in my 2159 01:27:41,600 --> 01:27:39,809 introduction to the book I say if by 2160 01:27:43,580 --> 01:27:41,610 some slim chance this is the first book 2161 01:27:44,990 --> 01:27:43,590 you've ever picked up I'm afraid you've 2162 01:27:46,549 --> 01:27:45,000 thrown yourself in at the very deep end 2163 01:27:48,410 --> 01:27:46,559 of the pool but that's all the more 2164 01:27:50,180 --> 01:27:48,420 reason to push on with it if you do so I 2165 01:27:51,919 --> 01:27:50,190 feel confident in stating at the wider 2166 01:27:54,169 --> 01:27:51,929 you for logical waters will seem clearer 2167 01:27:55,669 --> 01:27:54,179 and more navigable and I think that's 2168 01:27:57,020 --> 01:27:55,679 that's the case really you know I do 2169 01:28:01,220 --> 01:27:57,030 kind of wish that I've read something 2170 01:28:03,740 --> 01:28:01,230 like this only 15 16 17 years ago 2171 01:28:05,479 --> 01:28:03,750 I at least have been exposed to these 2172 01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:05,489 ideas even if even if these ideas didn't 2173 01:28:08,750 --> 01:28:07,290 really sink in at the time at least that 2174 01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:08,760 at least that I'd have been exposed to 2175 01:28:12,229 --> 01:28:10,650 them and I think that's what's important 2176 01:28:14,690 --> 01:28:12,239 I think a lot of this these ideas are 2177 01:28:17,030 --> 01:28:14,700 just shut out of mainstream ecological 2178 01:28:19,100 --> 01:28:17,040 debate right now and have been for quite 2179 01:28:22,150 --> 01:28:19,110 some time and I've never really managed 2180 01:28:26,180 --> 01:28:22,160 to get a foothold outside a very small 2181 01:28:27,830 --> 01:28:26,190 group of dedicated thinkers but but that 2182 01:28:30,350 --> 01:28:27,840 says it's trying to bring these ideas to 2183 01:28:32,150 --> 01:28:30,360 more popular readership really and it 2184 01:28:33,770 --> 01:28:32,160 really is rooted in the annals of 2185 01:28:34,880 --> 01:28:33,780 ufology that was brought up earlier in 2186 01:28:37,160 --> 01:28:34,890 the show too and if you look at the 2187 01:28:39,110 --> 01:28:37,170 footnotes from people and in the index 2188 01:28:41,360 --> 01:28:39,120 and see who's referenced inside there 2189 01:28:43,250 --> 01:28:41,370 this is well rooted within the Canon of 2190 01:28:46,400 --> 01:28:43,260 I think perhaps what's good you falah 2191 01:28:47,990 --> 01:28:46,410 djegal thinking that that the writers in 2192 01:28:49,910 --> 01:28:48,000 here are picking up from very 2193 01:28:51,650 --> 01:28:49,920 interesting voices unique voices 2194 01:28:53,900 --> 01:28:51,660 thoughtful more than some of the more 2195 01:28:55,940 --> 01:28:53,910 critical voices I know Feli is is 2196 01:28:58,010 --> 01:28:55,950 mentioned you know gazillion of times in 2197 01:28:59,660 --> 01:28:58,020 there and I think one of the more 2198 01:29:01,880 --> 01:28:59,670 important new contemporary thinkers 2199 01:29:04,040 --> 01:29:01,890 great bishop is has got a number of 2200 01:29:05,600 --> 01:29:04,050 references in there as well and so on 2201 01:29:08,090 --> 01:29:05,610 that way it does speak to an ongoing 2202 01:29:10,130 --> 01:29:08,100 dialogue within the field and trying to 2203 01:29:12,380 --> 01:29:10,140 maybe pull out some of the the threads 2204 01:29:13,910 --> 01:29:12,390 what's the best as well as the worst and 2205 01:29:17,240 --> 01:29:13,920 and how to start thinking more 2206 01:29:19,190 --> 01:29:17,250 critically about the field yeah you know 2207 01:29:21,970 --> 01:29:19,200 I was thinking here about where some of 2208 01:29:24,770 --> 01:29:21,980 the cutting-edge thought I encountered 2209 01:29:26,390 --> 01:29:24,780 originated I don't know if you guys know 2210 01:29:28,100 --> 01:29:26,400 someone who's been on the show an old 2211 01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:28,110 friend of mine named Alan marine field 2212 01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:30,930 and he was doing some of this way back 2213 01:29:37,520 --> 01:29:34,770 in the 60s and we were then talking 2214 01:29:39,380 --> 01:29:37,530 about a multiverse and UFOs from other 2215 01:29:40,790 --> 01:29:39,390 dimensions as you know one of the things 2216 01:29:42,770 --> 01:29:40,800 we should at least talk about consider 2217 01:29:45,229 --> 01:29:42,780 alternatives and he had something called 2218 01:29:47,510 --> 01:29:45,239 the alternate horizons newsletter that 2219 01:29:52,130 --> 01:29:47,520 had to have a circulation of about ten 2220 01:29:54,710 --> 01:29:52,140 because nobody cared you know we look at 2221 01:29:57,380 --> 01:29:54,720 the house this guy I don't know he's one 2222 01:29:59,900 --> 01:29:57,390 of those wacky people come into the UFO 2223 01:30:03,470 --> 01:29:59,910 field and then we had John keel talking 2224 01:30:06,350 --> 01:30:03,480 about his ultra terrestrials and all 2225 01:30:10,220 --> 01:30:06,360 this other stuff but I saw that happen 2226 01:30:13,610 --> 01:30:10,230 and I saw attempts made to leave the 2227 01:30:15,169 --> 01:30:13,620 Donald Kehoe faction of ufology and it 2228 01:30:18,679 --> 01:30:15,179 kind of just faded out I guess 2229 01:30:20,779 --> 01:30:18,689 in the 70s let me do our break and we'll 2230 01:30:23,060 --> 01:30:20,789 get into more of this the title of the 2231 01:30:26,569 --> 01:30:23,070

--> 01:35:19,310 [Music] 2345 01:35:33,020 --> 01:35:28,939 but you get my point here this was tried 2346 01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:33,030 in some ways way back when and maybe it 2347 01:35:37,820 --> 01:35:35,130 was in the right time and can we hope 2348 01:35:41,919 --> 01:35:37,830 this is the right time I think that 2349 01:35:44,390 --> 01:35:41,929 people in the UM in the mainstream UFO 2350 01:35:46,070 --> 01:35:44,400 school of thought I guess which does 2351 01:35:49,010 --> 01:35:46,080 revolve around the notion of disclosure 2352 01:35:50,470 --> 01:35:49,020 for better or for worse I think I think 2353 01:35:53,270 --> 01:35:50,480 an increasing number of people are 2354 01:35:55,970 --> 01:35:53,280 starting to become disillusioned and 2355 01:35:59,000 --> 01:35:55,980 I've seen I've seen that directly I have 2356 01:36:01,250 --> 01:35:59,010 to say I think people a number of people 2357 01:36:02,780 --> 01:36:01,260 a surprising number of people I think 2358 01:36:05,540 --> 01:36:02,790 are starting to open their minds a 2359 01:36:10,430 --> 01:36:05,550 little bit to some more abstract lines 2360 01:36:13,220 --> 01:36:10,440 of inquiry with with UFOs and I think 2361 01:36:16,010 --> 01:36:13,230 you know year after year of promises of 2362 01:36:18,560 --> 01:36:16,020 disclosure leading to absolutely nothing 2363 01:36:24,080 --> 01:36:18,570 I think is starting to wear thin 2364 01:36:25,280 --> 01:36:24,090 with with some people and so I think I 2365 01:36:26,660 --> 01:36:25,290 think the tide is already turning to be 2366 01:36:29,270 --> 01:36:26,670 honest I think more people a new 2367 01:36:31,939 --> 01:36:29,280 generation perhaps is starting to become 2368 01:36:34,220 --> 01:36:31,949 more open-minded and less simplistic in 2369 01:36:37,189 --> 01:36:34,230 their approaches to this again I want to 2370 01:36:38,570 --> 01:36:37,199 state that I don't project the 2371 01:36:41,780 --> 01:36:38,580 extraterrestrial I don't reject the 2372 01:36:43,459 --> 01:36:41,790 extra-terrestrial hypothesis but I think 2373 01:36:44,660 --> 01:36:43,469 that what we're dealing with and I do 2374 01:36:46,850 --> 01:36:44,670 believe you are dealing with something 2375 01:36:49,010 --> 01:36:46,860 genuinely anomalous is far more complex 2376 01:36:50,859 --> 01:36:49,020 and multifaceted than just aliens 2377 01:36:54,859 --> 01:36:50,869 visiting us in metal spaceship from 2378 01:36:56,419 --> 01:36:54,869 spaceships from another solar system but 2379 01:36:58,729 --> 01:36:56,429 but that could well in in my opinion 2380 01:37:00,320 --> 01:36:58,739 have some part in it other contributors 2381 01:37:02,840 --> 01:37:00,330 to this book would strongly disagree 2382 01:37:04,459 --> 01:37:02,850 with me and I think that's the value 2383 01:37:06,919 --> 01:37:04,469 again of what we're doing here is we are 2384 01:37:08,870 --> 01:37:06,929 we are trying to present clashing 2385 01:37:10,399 --> 01:37:08,880 conflicting perspectives within one 2386 01:37:13,310 --> 01:37:10,409 volume so that you are completely 2387 01:37:14,270 --> 01:37:13,320 confused about about about what to 2388 01:37:16,070 --> 01:37:14,280 believe in the idea is that you 2389 01:37:17,600 --> 01:37:16,080 shouldn't believe anything so I don't 2390 01:37:20,209 --> 01:37:17,610 know what do you think Robert in terms 2391 01:37:22,520 --> 01:37:20,219 of it is the tide turning I don't know 2392 01:37:24,350 --> 01:37:22,530 I'm not sure I mean if one reads this 2393 01:37:26,330 --> 01:37:24,360 book one might say wow there's some very 2394 01:37:27,859 --> 01:37:26,340 interesting tides that are swirling a 2395 01:37:29,689 --> 01:37:27,869 out that are pulling together a lot of 2396 01:37:32,089 --> 01:37:29,699 different unique threads both from like 2397 01:37:34,810 --> 01:37:32,099 kind of recent investigations into 2398 01:37:38,870 --> 01:37:34,820 consciousness into memory and perception 2399 01:37:43,430 --> 01:37:38,880 information theory Greg delves into up 2400 01:37:46,160 --> 01:37:43,440 against those other notions of the UFO 2401 01:37:48,950 --> 01:37:46,170 itself purely as a is a symbol operating 2402 01:37:51,950 --> 01:37:48,960 at work within the species that is 2403 01:37:53,209 --> 01:37:51,960 altering us in very unique ways causing 2404 01:37:56,450 --> 01:37:53,219 us to think and reflect upon ourselves 2405 01:37:59,359 --> 01:37:56,460 our science as perhaps as being in 2406 01:38:01,310 --> 01:37:59,369 deficit it pushes our boundaries of 2407 01:38:03,530 --> 01:38:01,320 thinking in many ways and I think one of 2408 01:38:05,600 --> 01:38:03,540 the things I like about the essays in 2409 01:38:07,339 --> 01:38:05,610 here and I wish that there were more 2410 01:38:11,300 --> 01:38:07,349 books you know moving in this direction 2411 01:38:13,370 --> 01:38:11,310 is that it uses the UFO as as an 2412 01:38:15,439 --> 01:38:13,380 imaginative symbol in some ways to say 2413 01:38:17,209 --> 01:38:15,449 well what else can we learn about 2414 01:38:19,790 --> 01:38:17,219 ourselves and the human experience 2415 01:38:21,620 --> 01:38:19,800 through that given that we can't name 2416 01:38:23,600 --> 01:38:21,630 the truth of it and come up with an 2417 01:38:25,550 --> 01:38:23,610 answer and measure it or replicate it in 2418 01:38:27,919 --> 01:38:25,560 any way well how can we study the rest 2419 01:38:29,720 --> 01:38:27,929 of it to see what what other truths are 2420 01:38:31,490 --> 01:38:29,730 there that we might be able to tease and 2421 01:38:33,320 --> 01:38:31,500 pull out from investigating different 2422 01:38:36,530 --> 01:38:33,330 related disciplines you know because it 2423 01:38:39,109 --> 01:38:36,540 covers everything from neurobiology to 2424 01:38:42,169 --> 01:38:39,119 information theory to the nature of 2425 01:38:43,729 --> 01:38:42,179 perception memory psychology it 2426 01:38:46,430 --> 01:38:43,739 investigates so many different fields 2427 01:38:50,510 --> 01:38:46,440 and I think rpj says this and I say this 2428 01:38:52,939 --> 01:38:50,520 that it is a very flexible phenomenon 2429 01:38:54,290 --> 01:38:52,949 that encourages human beings to actually 2430 01:38:56,510 --> 01:38:54,300 pursue knowledge and knowledge about 2431 01:38:58,490 --> 01:38:56,520 themselves in very unique ways yeah 2432 01:39:01,160 --> 01:38:58,500 again one of the things I say is that 2433 01:39:03,919 --> 01:39:01,170 the role of the of the witness in UFO 2434 01:39:07,010 --> 01:39:03,929 events is typically is overlooked by UFO 2435 01:39:08,689 --> 01:39:07,020 investigators whose focus is on what the 2436 01:39:10,250 --> 01:39:08,699 witness is seen rather than why they 2437 01:39:12,560 --> 01:39:10,260 have seen your how they've interpreted 2438 01:39:14,510 --> 01:39:12,570 it and so the assumption is quite 2439 01:39:17,149 --> 01:39:14,520 strangely that the UFO witness is is 2440 01:39:20,450 --> 01:39:17,159 almost independent of their anomalous 2441 01:39:22,490 --> 01:39:20,460 experiences you know the people 2442 01:39:23,959 --> 01:39:22,500 interpret the popular interpretation if 2443 01:39:27,649 --> 01:39:23,969 you're for experiences is that something 2444 01:39:31,070 --> 01:39:27,659 external is happening to a completely 2445 01:39:33,050 --> 01:39:31,080 independent observer and whereas when 2446 01:39:34,970 --> 01:39:33,060 did you even start to think about that 2447 01:39:37,669 --> 01:39:34,980 for a moment that's that's very very 2448 01:39:39,439 --> 01:39:37,679 simplistic way of looking at this and 2449 01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:39,449 that's why you know for example 2450 01:39:45,560 --> 01:39:41,850 and Robert another SS in the book 2451 01:39:48,350 --> 01:39:45,570 encourage that the focus should be more 2452 01:39:50,000 --> 01:39:48,360 internal and external we we if we seek 2453 01:39:51,860 --> 01:39:50,010 to understand you know the complexities 2454 01:39:53,810 --> 01:39:51,870 of human cognition and consciousness 2455 01:39:56,209 --> 01:39:53,820 itself then we might better understand 2456 01:39:59,090 --> 01:39:56,219 the UFO and then maybe better understand 2457 01:40:00,680 --> 01:39:59,100 ourselves okay I certainly hope we'd 2458 01:40:04,220 --> 01:40:00,690 have another response there but I'll 2459 01:40:06,950 --> 01:40:04,230 just jump in here all right there you go 2460 01:40:08,689 --> 01:40:06,960 cut off yeah I my audios been flashing 2461 01:40:10,090 --> 01:40:08,699 in and out all right go ahead go ahead 2462 01:40:14,300 --> 01:40:10,100 Robert okay 2463 01:40:15,860 --> 01:40:14,310 certainly I think that a core component 2464 01:40:18,050 --> 01:40:15,870 of the text that is important is it does 2465 01:40:21,560 --> 01:40:18,060 move into contemporary science and it 2466 01:40:24,650 --> 01:40:21,570 does try to examine the very act of what 2467 01:40:26,000 --> 01:40:24,660 it is to experience reality itself one 2468 01:40:28,220 --> 01:40:26,010 of the scientists that gets mentioned 2469 01:40:30,020 --> 01:40:28,230 twice as Donald Hoffman who looks at 2470 01:40:31,459 --> 01:40:30,030 this theory of conscious realism and 2471 01:40:33,430 --> 01:40:31,469 what in fact is the nature of reality 2472 01:40:35,510 --> 01:40:33,440 and our experience of reality and 2473 01:40:37,550 --> 01:40:35,520 recognizing that the human sensory 2474 01:40:39,860 --> 01:40:37,560 apparatus has been built as a function 2475 01:40:42,680 --> 01:40:39,870 of evolution so the way that we see and 2476 01:40:44,959 --> 01:40:42,690 experience reality is based totally on 2477 01:40:46,430 --> 01:40:44,969 the nature of our sensory system and how 2478 01:40:48,590 --> 01:40:46,440 that's evolved and it's evolved so it 2479 01:40:50,060 --> 01:40:48,600 can suit us best and what Hoffman 2480 01:40:52,100 --> 01:40:50,070 highlights is is that our version of 2481 01:40:54,830 --> 01:40:52,110 reality is a very limited one there may 2482 01:40:56,390 --> 01:40:54,840 be far more dynamic things taking place 2483 01:40:57,860 --> 01:40:56,400 that are beyond our perception that you 2484 01:40:58,850 --> 01:40:57,870 know other species perhaps are able to 2485 01:41:00,740 --> 01:40:58,860 interact with in the way that 2486 01:41:02,479 --> 01:41:00,750 butterflies have x-ray vision and dogs 2487 01:41:04,580 --> 01:41:02,489 here you know at frequencies that were 2488 01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:04,590 incapable of so our version of reality 2489 01:41:10,910 --> 01:41:07,650 is limited in what Hoffman opens the 2490 01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:10,920 door up for is that we me during rare 2491 01:41:14,720 --> 01:41:13,290 occasions for whatever reason is taking 2492 01:41:16,760 --> 01:41:14,730 place on the witness in that moment and 2493 01:41:18,680 --> 01:41:16,770 whatever that external stimulus is be 2494 01:41:20,870 --> 01:41:18,690 intersecting with something that is 2495 01:41:22,310 --> 01:41:20,880 perhaps a very common part of reality as 2496 01:41:24,229 --> 01:41:22,320 Greg Bishop once described us and like 2497 01:41:26,030 --> 01:41:24,239 waves in the water might be extremely 2498 01:41:28,400 --> 01:41:26,040 common but for whatever reason the right 2499 01:41:30,320 --> 01:41:28,410 circumstances are there that cause us to 2500 01:41:32,780 --> 01:41:30,330 intersect with it and then see something 2501 01:41:35,090 --> 01:41:32,790 absolutely incredible that is often 2502 01:41:38,330 --> 01:41:35,100 quite surreal very bizarre and absurd in 2503 01:41:40,729 --> 01:41:38,340 its presentation to us and that perhaps 2504 01:41:43,250 --> 01:41:40,739 this is the rich source of where the UFO 2505 01:41:44,810 --> 01:41:43,260 is some type of commonplace you know 2506 01:41:46,910 --> 01:41:44,820 could be an entity could be an 2507 01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:46,920 intelligence could be non conscious and 2508 01:41:52,569 --> 01:41:50,570 is something that we see by chance 2509 01:41:55,240 --> 01:41:52,579 given the right circumstance and causes 2510 01:41:57,760 --> 01:41:55,250 us to experience a whole new set of 2511 01:42:00,100 --> 01:41:57,770 perceptions that is not normally common 2512 01:42:01,750 --> 01:42:00,110 to the human experience but let me throw 2513 01:42:04,810 --> 01:42:01,760 another possibility out for you 2514 01:42:09,220 --> 01:42:04,820 that is the UFO will never be there 2515 01:42:11,500 --> 01:42:09,230 unless we're prepared or causing it to 2516 01:42:13,300 --> 01:42:11,510 happen I don't know how much about the 2517 01:42:14,800 --> 01:42:13,310 cause piece like I think there's some 2518 01:42:16,569 --> 01:42:14,810 cases where you get the sense that 2519 01:42:17,859 --> 01:42:16,579 certainly there were things perhaps on 2520 01:42:20,290 --> 01:42:17,869 the mind of that individual ahead of 2521 01:42:21,520 --> 01:42:20,300 time especially in abductee cases where 2522 01:42:23,500 --> 01:42:21,530 there's some interesting front-loading 2523 01:42:25,419 --> 01:42:23,510 and perhaps mental destabilization or 2524 01:42:27,100 --> 01:42:25,429 trauma taking place that causes things 2525 01:42:28,600 --> 01:42:27,110 to unfold as they do but you know I've 2526 01:42:30,160 --> 01:42:28,610 talked with people who you know we're 2527 01:42:31,689 --> 01:42:30,170 driving home from Cub Scouts one day 2528 01:42:34,330 --> 01:42:31,699 with with their dad and they come around 2529 01:42:36,310 --> 01:42:34,340 the corner and boom there's a UFO you 2530 01:42:38,260 --> 01:42:36,320 know in a field right beside the road 2531 01:42:40,240 --> 01:42:38,270 you know you know like I totally agree 2532 01:42:44,680 --> 01:42:40,250 with that too I think there's way too 2533 01:42:46,870 --> 01:42:44,690 much there's a weird sort of sort of 2534 01:42:49,180 --> 01:42:46,880 counterintuitive synchronicity going on 2535 01:42:52,030 --> 01:42:49,190 you'll when you least expect something 2536 01:42:56,410 --> 01:42:52,040 to happen is is most of the time when it 2537 01:42:58,780 --> 01:42:56,420 does happen hmm but I know people who 2538 01:43:00,129 --> 01:42:58,790 have experienced very close to what 2539 01:43:02,620 --> 01:43:00,139 Roberts just said you know people 2540 01:43:06,430 --> 01:43:02,630 driving at night you know having a 2541 01:43:07,629 --> 01:43:06,440 conversation on anything but UFOs and 2542 01:43:09,430 --> 01:43:07,639 all of a sudden turning around a corner 2543 01:43:12,220 --> 01:43:09,440 and boom literally almost crashing into 2544 01:43:14,229 --> 01:43:12,230 a crashing into a hovering flying saucer 2545 01:43:16,629 --> 01:43:14,239 which certainly rapidly departs and 2546 01:43:18,430 --> 01:43:16,639 cetera cetera leaving apparent physical 2547 01:43:20,410 --> 01:43:18,440 evidence investigated by the Ministry of 2548 01:43:23,950 --> 01:43:20,420 Defense you know completely bizarre 2549 01:43:26,260 --> 01:43:23,960 stuff but then at the same time also I 2550 01:43:32,080 --> 01:43:26,270 know people who have who believe they 2551 01:43:36,209 --> 01:43:32,090 have actually manifested UFOs into into 2552 01:43:41,589 --> 01:43:36,219 existence in a given moment through 2553 01:43:44,140 --> 01:43:41,599 through intense focus and you know 2554 01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:44,150 simply through the active of intent and 2555 01:43:46,899 --> 01:43:44,810 ritual 2556 01:43:50,229 --> 01:43:46,909 well laying your hands on the doctor 2557 01:43:54,790 --> 01:43:50,239 that that's one that supposedly has real 2558 01:43:59,280 --> 01:43:54,800 good a real good track record well yeah 2559 01:44:01,780 --> 01:43:59,290 I mean and so I don't know it's just the 2560 01:44:04,390 --> 01:44:01,790 as I say the what I mean what we do in 2561 01:44:06,520 --> 01:44:04,400 this book is we don't conclude and 2562 01:44:08,350 --> 01:44:06,530 and that's what Diana Basilico notes in 2563 01:44:09,580 --> 01:44:08,360 the introduction initially the value of 2564 01:44:13,570 --> 01:44:09,590 this is that is that the the 2565 01:44:15,610 --> 01:44:13,580 contributors are duly aware that the 2566 01:44:18,910 --> 01:44:15,620 value of not concluding you know of 2567 01:44:20,169 --> 01:44:18,920 bracketing the the note that look at the 2568 01:44:21,910 --> 01:44:20,179 question of what it is 2569 01:44:23,470 --> 01:44:21,920 and looking at the instead of the 2570 01:44:26,530 --> 01:44:23,480 effects the societal and cultural 2571 01:44:28,300 --> 01:44:26,540 effects of the phenomenon whatever it 2572 01:44:31,510 --> 01:44:28,310 represents whether its societal cultural 2573 01:44:32,649 --> 01:44:31,520 or physical or all of those what we can 2574 01:44:35,260 --> 01:44:32,659 measure is the societal and cultural 2575 01:44:37,510 --> 01:44:35,270 effects and by studying that we might 2576 01:44:39,070 --> 01:44:37,520 actually learn more about the phenomenon 2577 01:44:41,439 --> 01:44:39,080 itself no I 2578 01:44:43,899 --> 01:44:41,449 this overlays perfectly into the cattle 2579 01:44:46,180 --> 01:44:43,909 mutilation realm in my last book which 2580 01:44:48,939 --> 01:44:46,190 is exactly what I did I presented all 2581 01:44:51,490 --> 01:44:48,949 the data all the theories and then kind 2582 01:44:53,649 --> 01:44:51,500 of left it up for the reader to stop 2583 01:44:57,580 --> 01:44:53,659 scratching their head and come down on 2584 01:45:00,189 --> 01:44:57,590 you know on some side of the argument to 2585 01:45:02,500 --> 01:45:00,199 some conclusion and I think that's the 2586 01:45:05,260 --> 01:45:02,510 best way to get people to think because 2587 01:45:08,020 --> 01:45:05,270 if you don't hand feed them a particular 2588 01:45:11,160 --> 01:45:08,030 conclusion and you give them all sorts 2589 01:45:13,720 --> 01:45:11,170 of tantalizing information and and data 2590 01:45:16,500 --> 01:45:13,730 to help them come to a conclusion I 2591 01:45:19,959 --> 01:45:16,510 think it's be infinitely more inspiring 2592 01:45:22,600 --> 01:45:19,969 to not give the conclusion and allow all 2593 01:45:25,600 --> 01:45:22,610 the the data and the perspective to to 2594 01:45:27,939 --> 01:45:25,610 create one in the reader in this case 2595 01:45:38,720 --> 01:45:27,949 we've got more to come with gene Chris 2596 01:45:48,830 --> 01:45:42,680 you are listening to

Jane Steinberg you know it comes 2651 01:48:18,490 --> 01:48:16,180 to mind as you talk about that Chris 2652 01:48:21,610 --> 01:48:18,500 something that our former co-host 2653 01:48:25,330 --> 01:48:21,620 mentioned on the air where he was giving 2654 01:48:28,600 --> 01:48:25,340 a brief talk about UFOs before a MUFON 2655 01:48:32,860 --> 01:48:28,610 meeting in New York State and he got 2656 01:48:34,360 --> 01:48:32,870 into all these fine details and somebody 2657 01:48:39,070 --> 01:48:34,370 said can you give me the Reader's Digest 2658 01:48:42,910 --> 01:48:39,080 version they wanted simple they wanted a 2659 01:48:44,410 --> 01:48:42,920 conclusion many many years ago and I 2660 01:48:46,990 --> 01:48:44,420 haven't done that many lectures but I've 2661 01:48:48,790 --> 01:48:47,000 done a few I was giving a lecture before 2662 01:48:51,670 --> 01:48:48,800 a group in Atlanta 2663 01:48:54,460 --> 01:48:51,680 a group of which Allen Greenfield was 2664 01:48:57,340 --> 01:48:54,470 one of the sponsors and I gave a 2665 01:48:59,350 --> 01:48:57,350 presentation of the evidence that 2666 01:49:01,720 --> 01:48:59,360 favored something going on 2667 01:49:03,670 --> 01:49:01,730 these are sightings that cry out for an 2668 01:49:05,950 --> 01:49:03,680 explanation now remember I was a lot 2669 01:49:07,030 --> 01:49:05,960 younger than I didn't have all the 2670 01:49:09,640 --> 01:49:07,040 arguments intact 2671 01:49:14,170 --> 01:49:09,650 but they kept asking what's the answer 2672 01:49:16,450 --> 01:49:14,180 what's the conclusion I got a no they 2673 01:49:20,020 --> 01:49:16,460 wanted an answer and the people who give 2674 01:49:21,820 --> 01:49:20,030 them an answer a simple answer are the 2675 01:49:24,130 --> 01:49:21,830 ones who they'll pay attention to they 2676 01:49:26,370 --> 01:49:24,140 won't pay attention to me if I'm saying 2677 01:49:28,480 --> 01:49:26,380 we don't know where it is we've got a 2678 01:49:30,940 --> 01:49:28,490 phenomenon going on this is how they 2679 01:49:32,710 --> 01:49:30,950 want to be spoon-fed well that's that's 2680 01:49:34,480 --> 01:49:32,720 the appeal of the disclosure movement of 2681 01:49:37,180 --> 01:49:34,490 course because it's a narrative that has 2682 01:49:39,190 --> 01:49:37,190 a clear-cut ending and the ending is 2683 01:49:41,590 --> 01:49:39,200 disclosure of ultimate cosmic secrets 2684 01:49:44,530 --> 01:49:41,600 which fundamentally and quickly change 2685 01:49:46,300 --> 01:49:44,540 the world and and that's that's we you 2686 01:49:49,300 --> 01:49:46,310 know so that's that's easy to package 2687 01:49:51,520 --> 01:49:49,310 and it's easy to kind of digest and and 2688 01:49:54,760 --> 01:49:51,530 it's very very appealing but what's the 2689 01:49:56,560 --> 01:49:54,770 ending narrative li2 to what we're 2690 01:49:57,730 --> 01:49:56,570 presenting in this book and to what you 2691 01:50:00,370 --> 01:49:57,740 know the people presented before us 2692 01:50:02,440 --> 01:50:00,380 along similar lines well there is no 2693 01:50:04,180 --> 01:50:02,450 definitive ending to it and people don't 2694 01:50:06,810 --> 01:50:04,190 like that people like things to be 2695 01:50:08,740 --> 01:50:06,820 narrative I stand and digestible and 2696 01:50:10,780 --> 01:50:08,750 understandable and and 2697 01:50:13,720 --> 01:50:10,790 and we like conclusions and we don't 2698 01:50:16,210 --> 01:50:13,730 offer any but I think there's value in 2699 01:50:17,770 --> 01:50:16,220 in letting go of of the need for 2700 01:50:19,060 --> 01:50:17,780 conclusions I think when it comes to 2701 01:50:21,850 --> 01:50:19,070 something like this and just being open 2702 01:50:23,470 --> 01:50:21,860 to possibilities and that's where a Greg 2703 01:50:25,780 --> 01:50:23,480 Bishop also you know advocates that 2704 01:50:28,120 --> 01:50:25,790 notion is in sudomotor Sinclair as well 2705 01:50:29,530 --> 01:50:28,130 says you know ask ask more questions ask 2706 01:50:32,980 --> 01:50:29,540 more interesting questions be more 2707 01:50:36,010 --> 01:50:32,990 curious about it Greg does a great 2708 01:50:38,260 --> 01:50:36,020 advocacy piece for the Greek philosophy 2709 01:50:41,200 --> 01:50:38,270 of Piran ISM remain in a state of 2710 01:50:42,820 --> 01:50:41,210 perpetual inquiry as we cannot be 2711 01:50:45,130 --> 01:50:42,830 certain what new evidence will turn up 2712 01:50:47,170 --> 01:50:45,140 in the future so stay tentative and 2713 01:50:48,580 --> 01:50:47,180 continue the inquiry perón Ian's 2714 01:50:50,920 --> 01:50:48,590 question accepted knowledge and 2715 01:50:53,650 --> 01:50:50,930 identified dogmatism as a disease of the 2716 01:50:55,450 --> 01:50:53,660 mind and I would say ufology has had a 2717 01:50:59,110 --> 01:50:55,460 disease of the mind for a great number 2718 01:51:00,910 --> 01:50:59,120 of decades and that needs to be pushed 2719 01:51:03,910 --> 01:51:00,920 away and if we're going to push it away 2720 01:51:05,950 --> 01:51:03,920 then we have to be open to as valet says 2721 01:51:08,110 --> 01:51:05,960 you know stop bringing ideology to the 2722 01:51:10,030 --> 01:51:08,120 table you know as somebody who was once 2723 01:51:11,890 --> 01:51:10,040 you know a great proponent of ATH and 2724 01:51:14,020 --> 01:51:11,900 then since came and piled on a whole 2725 01:51:16,690 --> 01:51:14,030 bunch of other theoretical avenues he's 2726 01:51:18,820 --> 01:51:16,700 now telling us let's get rid of ideology 2727 01:51:21,220 --> 01:51:18,830 let's just start asking interesting 2728 01:51:23,380 --> 01:51:21,230 questions of it and see what else can be 2729 01:51:25,810 --> 01:51:23,390 learned from the witness experience if 2730 01:51:27,490 --> 01:51:25,820 we've got a lot of data which we do you 2731 01:51:29,350 --> 01:51:27,500 know maybe we can do something with all 2732 01:51:32,500 --> 01:51:29,360 of that and some sifting and that's you 2733 01:51:34,180 --> 01:51:32,510 know valets baby as well too but now for 2734 01:51:36,940 --> 01:51:34,190 the rest of us in terms of finding a new 2735 01:51:39,430 --> 01:51:36,950 way of thinking about it we need to be 2736 01:51:41,680 --> 01:51:39,440 open to saying I don't know the answer 2737 01:51:43,690 --> 01:51:41,690 and who knows what new things will come 2738 01:51:46,180 --> 01:51:43,700 along in the future to give us better 2739 01:51:48,850 --> 01:51:46,190 answers to it so let's just be patient 2740 01:51:51,310 --> 01:51:48,860 with our our approach and be creative 2741 01:51:53,650 --> 01:51:51,320 and curious with it well and be diligent 2742 01:51:56,100 --> 01:51:53,660 to do absolutely absolutely 2743 01:51:58,450 --> 01:51:56,110 you'll make sure that we're actually 2744 01:52:00,280 --> 01:51:58,460 availing ourselves of all the wonderful 2745 01:52:03,420 --> 01:52:00,290 thinking that's out there and all these 2746 01:52:06,160 --> 01:52:03,430 wonderful sort of counter intuitive 2747 01:52:08,380 --> 01:52:06,170 approaches to the subject matter the the 2748 01:52:11,080 --> 01:52:08,390 obvious ways have not worked and you 2749 01:52:14,650 --> 01:52:11,090 know we here at the Peres Caspi you know 2750 01:52:18,130 --> 01:52:14,660 we're real we sound like foghorns 2751 01:52:20,230 --> 01:52:18,140 echoing in in the in a foggy night by 2752 01:52:20,980 --> 01:52:20,240 saying this constantly the wheel is 2753 01:52:22,020 --> 01:52:20,990 broken 2754 01:52:28,140 --> 01:52:22,030 it's 2755 01:52:31,770 --> 01:52:28,150 down the ravine okay 70 years and we're 2756 01:52:34,290 --> 01:52:31,780 just we really are no no closer to any 2757 01:52:36,510 --> 01:52:34,300 definitive answers we think we know more 2758 01:52:39,660 --> 01:52:36,520 but it's the more you know the more 2759 01:52:42,779 --> 01:52:39,670 confused you become basically so amount 2760 01:52:45,330 --> 01:52:42,789 of knowledge does not equate um you know 2761 01:52:49,350 --> 01:52:45,340 some sort of a linear process towards a 2762 01:52:53,430 --> 01:52:49,360 solution and so we really need to become 2763 01:52:55,770 --> 01:52:53,440 very circumspect and pull back and you 2764 01:52:59,129 --> 01:52:55,780 know entertain entertain new thinking 2765 01:53:02,220 --> 01:52:59,139 entertain new ideas and you know perhaps 2766 01:53:04,109 --> 01:53:02,230 then the next generation will be able to 2767 01:53:05,729 --> 01:53:04,119 let go you know it's probably a force 2768 01:53:08,850 --> 01:53:05,739 for the trees thing it's probably so 2769 01:53:11,939 --> 01:53:08,860 obvious that there's just no way that 2770 01:53:15,450 --> 01:53:11,949 you can accidentally pick it up so you 2771 01:53:18,419 --> 01:53:15,460 know the time will tell huh it's just 2772 01:53:24,419 --> 01:53:18,429 very exciting I'm really gratified to 2773 01:53:26,250 --> 01:53:24,429 see books like this go ahead oh so yeah 2774 01:53:29,010 --> 01:53:26,260 to go along with what Chris is saying I 2775 01:53:31,140 --> 01:53:29,020 you know we have to be available to 2776 01:53:32,669 --> 01:53:31,150 looking at things from very very altered 2777 01:53:36,510 --> 01:53:32,679 perspectives and when we think about the 2778 01:53:38,399 --> 01:53:36,520 nature of the the UFO experience um you 2779 01:53:40,770 --> 01:53:38,409 know I describe it as ultimate fool that 2780 01:53:42,299 --> 01:53:40,780 that place that's beyond you know 2781 01:53:44,069 --> 01:53:42,309 borders that place on the map where 2782 01:53:46,560 --> 01:53:44,079 where monsters are and you're heading 2783 01:53:48,510 --> 01:53:46,570 into unchartered territory and I think 2784 01:53:50,729 --> 01:53:48,520 when we think of how surreal the UFO 2785 01:53:52,740 --> 01:53:50,739 witness story is it really is about 2786 01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:52,750 unchartered territory in it that theme 2787 01:53:57,270 --> 01:53:55,090 gets back out in the text benaiah stalks 2788 01:53:59,339 --> 01:53:57,280 about you know we need to head into a 2789 01:54:01,709 --> 01:53:59,349 land which is not yet to be trod we need 2790 01:54:03,240 --> 01:54:01,719 to head to tera obscura and Michael 2791 01:54:06,089 --> 01:54:03,250 Ellen talks about you know the land of 2792 01:54:08,700 --> 01:54:06,099 the owls and and I talked about Ultima 2793 01:54:10,680 --> 01:54:08,710 Thule and I think that that we don't 2794 01:54:13,109 --> 01:54:10,690 really have a map for the territory of 2795 01:54:15,629 --> 01:54:13,119 the UFO it is an extremely complex 2796 01:54:18,299 --> 01:54:15,639 subject matter it's not a simplistic 2797 01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:18,309 piece that we can just fit into a box um 2798 01:54:23,220 --> 01:54:21,010 so I think that means we need to bring a 2799 01:54:24,479 --> 01:54:23,230 certain degree of complexity to it as 2800 01:54:26,459 --> 01:54:24,489 well and we should be prepared to head 2801 01:54:28,470 --> 01:54:26,469 into unchartered territory both in terms 2802 01:54:31,310 --> 01:54:28,480 of thinking and in acknowledging what 2803 01:54:35,669 --> 01:54:31,320 the true nature of the experience is 2804 01:54:37,469 --> 01:54:35,679 Ravi I I can only leave it 2805 01:54:41,580 --> 01:54:37,479 really with what Robert has so 2806 01:54:43,229 --> 01:54:41,590 eloquently expressed there you know that 2807 01:54:45,449 --> 01:54:43,239 yeah and I'm not gonna try and top boys 2808 01:54:47,669 --> 01:54:45,459 just he's just that that's it really the 2809 01:54:49,290 --> 01:54:47,679 you know we are that the book attempts 2810 01:54:52,709 --> 01:54:49,300 to I suppose that calls for that 2811 01:54:54,810 --> 01:54:52,719 uncharted territory but we recognize 2812 01:54:58,679 --> 01:54:54,820 that where the week that we can't 2813 01:55:01,080 --> 01:54:58,689 actually effectively approach it yeah 2814 01:55:05,009 --> 01:55:01,090 but we're at least trying and I think 2815 01:55:06,989 --> 01:55:05,019 it's important to try do you think we'll 2816 01:55:08,969 --> 01:55:06,999 ever get an answer or will be in the 2817 01:55:13,259 --> 01:55:08,979 second round of trying to find new 2818 01:55:15,629 --> 01:55:13,269 thoughts I this someone asked me this 2819 01:55:20,009 --> 01:55:15,639 recently will where we get an answer to 2820 01:55:21,810 --> 01:55:20,019 the UFO riddle I I think that I would 2821 01:55:25,310 --> 01:55:21,820 like to think that probably we will if 2822 01:55:27,390 --> 01:55:25,320 we survive long enough as a species 2823 01:55:29,669 --> 01:55:27,400 because I don't think that anything's I 2824 01:55:32,219 --> 01:55:29,679 think that most things will be within 2825 01:55:36,449 --> 01:55:32,229 our within our reach of understanding if 2826 01:55:38,189 --> 01:55:36,459 you know given enough time but but I 2827 01:55:39,779 --> 01:55:38,199 think we're so primitive we're so young 2828 01:55:42,390 --> 01:55:39,789 right now we're you know we'd like to 2829 01:55:44,040 --> 01:55:42,400 think of ourselves as the pinnacle but 2830 01:55:47,370 --> 01:55:44,050 we you know we're so young and so 2831 01:55:49,259 --> 01:55:47,380 primitive Chris said we just basically 2832 01:55:52,709 --> 01:55:49,269 evolved ape which apes which is of 2833 01:55:55,319 --> 01:55:52,719 course exactly what we are and and so I 2834 01:55:58,589 --> 01:55:55,329 think we're good ways a way of truly 2835 01:56:00,689 --> 01:55:58,599 understanding what underlies UFOs and 2836 01:56:03,000 --> 01:56:00,699 related phenomena are they forever 2837 01:56:06,560 --> 01:56:03,010 beyond our reach probably not 2838 01:56:11,790 --> 01:56:06,570 are they beyond reach within my lifetime 2839 01:56:13,410 --> 01:56:11,800 probably so yeah I think that for myself 2840 01:56:15,359 --> 01:56:13,420 and I think about it that it is so 2841 01:56:17,640 --> 01:56:15,369 beyond the capacities of our biology I 2842 01:56:19,890 --> 01:56:17,650 doubt we'll ever come to a great 2843 01:56:22,259 --> 01:56:19,900 appreciation of what that external 2844 01:56:25,049 --> 01:56:22,269 stimulus actually is if there is one 2845 01:56:27,600 --> 01:56:25,059 that's there but I do think that if we 2846 01:56:30,239 --> 01:56:27,610 take time to actually bring real science 2847 01:56:31,979 --> 01:56:30,249 to what we've got left which is the UFO 2848 01:56:35,040 --> 01:56:31,989 witness that if there could be some 2849 01:56:38,160 --> 01:56:35,050 energies invested into who in fact are 2850 01:56:39,959 --> 01:56:38,170 the people that see what they see um and 2851 01:56:42,929 --> 01:56:39,969 if we could actually define a cohort 2852 01:56:46,080 --> 01:56:42,939 through like real legitimate you know 2853 01:56:48,629 --> 01:56:46,090 sociological study I would be fascinated 2854 01:56:49,290 --> 01:56:48,639 to to understand that that part of it 2855 01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:49,300 that is there 2856 01:56:52,859 --> 01:56:51,250 something about the the nature of the 2857 01:56:55,709 --> 01:56:52,869 individual or what's taking place in 2858 01:56:58,649 --> 01:56:55,719 their life that causes the experience to 2859 01:57:01,530 --> 01:56:58,659 to unfold or is it in fact an entirely 2860 01:57:04,649 --> 01:57:01,540 random stimulus piece that for whatever 2861 01:57:06,330 --> 01:57:04,659 reason people see sometimes and if 2862 01:57:09,060 --> 01:57:06,340 that's the case I think it'll always be 2863 01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:09,070 beyond our grasp as to to what it is 2864 01:57:13,979 --> 01:57:11,130 it's easy to fire science quite readily 2865 01:57:16,229 --> 01:57:13,989 all the time and it doesn't leave us any 2866 01:57:17,520 --> 01:57:16,239 ability or capacity to use science to 2867 01:57:20,939 --> 01:57:17,530 measure it in any meaningful manner 2868 01:57:22,410 --> 01:57:20,949 except for after the fact so I think we 2869 01:57:23,879 --> 01:57:22,420 need to focus on the witness piece and 2870 01:57:26,310 --> 01:57:23,889 see what kind of traction we can get 2871 01:57:28,229 --> 01:57:26,320 from that I have

02:03:20,150 really marvelous Crist you want to take 3008 02:03:22,800 --> 02:03:22,040 a look at those questions from William 3009 02:03:26,950 --> 02:03:22,810 strothman 3010 02:03:29,470 --> 02:03:26,960 okay there's a bunch okay first one for 3011 02:03:32,230 --> 02:03:29,480 Robbie again this comes from Williams 3012 02:03:33,610 --> 02:03:32,240 craftsman he pretty much shows up when 3013 02:03:36,550 --> 02:03:33,620 we have interesting guests on the show 3014 02:03:38,560 --> 02:03:36,560 and he's one of the few foreign posters 3015 02:03:41,110 --> 02:03:38,570 that has more likes than he has posed 3016 02:03:43,540 --> 02:03:41,120 and he's wondering Robby how did you 3017 02:03:46,240 --> 02:03:43,550 come up with the idea to ask for essays 3018 02:03:49,600 --> 02:03:46,250 from this wide variety of contributors I 3019 02:03:51,160 --> 02:03:49,610 think it did arise out of mine and well 3020 02:03:54,340 --> 02:03:51,170 initially mine and then I suppose the 3021 02:03:56,380 --> 02:03:54,350 collective contributors frustration that 3022 02:03:58,540 --> 02:03:56,390 what people call ufology is you know 3023 02:04:00,010 --> 02:03:58,550 frankly broken and and was never really 3024 02:04:02,260 --> 02:04:00,020 fully assembled in the first 3025 02:04:05,320 --> 02:04:02,270 place and I wanted to put a book 3026 02:04:08,080 --> 02:04:05,330 together that would that would lay bare 3027 02:04:10,780 --> 02:04:08,090 the problems that have long faced the 3028 02:04:13,690 --> 02:04:10,790 euro study field and then crucially seek 3029 02:04:15,490 --> 02:04:13,700 to provide remedies and solutions so 3030 02:04:19,930 --> 02:04:15,500 that we can move forward on this clearer 3031 02:04:22,180 --> 02:04:19,940 path but the book I suppose it was also 3032 02:04:24,520 --> 02:04:22,190 it was also put together at the 3033 02:04:26,500 --> 02:04:24,530 suggestion or at least a volume was put 3034 02:04:28,540 --> 02:04:26,510 together at the suggestion of my editor 3035 02:04:30,730 --> 02:04:28,550 I'd written silver-screen sources a 3036 02:04:32,980 --> 02:04:30,740 couple of years ago and my editor at 3037 02:04:35,530 --> 02:04:32,990 white crow books and my publisher rather 3038 02:04:40,030 --> 02:04:35,540 at white crow books suggested that I 3039 02:04:41,110 --> 02:04:40,040 might do a an edited volume on UFOs but 3040 02:04:42,490 --> 02:04:41,120 you know he sort of said well what would 3041 02:04:44,200 --> 02:04:42,500 your angle be and I thought well you 3042 02:04:46,840 --> 02:04:44,210 know I've been kicking around this idea 3043 02:04:49,810 --> 02:04:46,850 of maybe doing something that would be 3044 02:04:51,730 --> 02:04:49,820 critical and present alternative 3045 02:04:55,830 --> 02:04:51,740 perspectives and and then so I just 3046 02:04:58,110 --> 02:04:55,840 started to put together a list of who 3047 02:05:00,100 --> 02:04:58,120 struck me as being particularly 3048 02:05:02,650 --> 02:05:00,110 forward-thinking progressive 3049 02:05:04,990 --> 02:05:02,660 iconoclastic in this field and at the 3050 02:05:07,900 --> 02:05:05,000 edges of the field and I started to 3051 02:05:09,820 --> 02:05:07,910 approach people with a brief with a with 3052 02:05:11,620 --> 02:05:09,830 an outline for an idea of what would 3053 02:05:13,180 --> 02:05:11,630 become UFOs reframing the debate I think 3054 02:05:15,970 --> 02:05:13,190 I had the title from the very beginning 3055 02:05:18,340 --> 02:05:15,980 and I approached you know a good number 3056 02:05:19,810 --> 02:05:18,350 of people and and almost all of them 3057 02:05:21,940 --> 02:05:19,820 jumped on board with it very 3058 02:05:24,100 --> 02:05:21,950 enthusiastically so and it all came 3059 02:05:25,630 --> 02:05:24,110 together very very quickly I say quickly 3060 02:05:30,130 --> 02:05:25,640 it took a year but that's quite quick 3061 02:05:31,660 --> 02:05:30,140 and and so yeah relatively smooth and 3062 02:05:33,880 --> 02:05:31,670 everyone was incredibly enthusiastic 3063 02:05:35,560 --> 02:05:33,890 about it and I'd really blown away by 3064 02:05:37,900 --> 02:05:35,570 how much of themselves everyone's throat 3065 02:05:39,280 --> 02:05:37,910 thrown into this well you mention almost 3066 02:05:43,110 --> 02:05:39,290 everybody took you up on it 3067 02:05:45,330 --> 02:05:43,120 another question from mr. strausmann is 3068 02:05:49,360 --> 02:05:45,340 who turned you down 3069 02:05:52,780 --> 02:05:49,370 and you can name names it's okay I would 3070 02:05:55,240 --> 02:05:52,790 rather not because ended because yes it 3071 02:05:57,610 --> 02:05:55,250 was a bunch of hands a big net a bit a 3072 02:05:59,830 --> 02:05:57,620 couple of very very very big names who 3073 02:06:02,110 --> 02:05:59,840 have colleagues of mine who have huge 3074 02:06:03,730 --> 02:06:02,120 respect for who turned me down simply 3075 02:06:05,620 --> 02:06:03,740 one of them turned me down because he 3076 02:06:07,870 --> 02:06:05,630 was simply just too busy is it I can 3077 02:06:10,180 --> 02:06:07,880 either full-time academic and this 3078 02:06:12,610 --> 02:06:10,190 schedule wouldn't allow for it he just 3079 02:06:13,130 --> 02:06:12,620 he a lot of people are demanding a lot 3080 02:06:15,350 --> 02:06:13,140 of things for 3081 02:06:16,670 --> 02:06:15,360 all the time and he just sort of was 3082 02:06:18,620 --> 02:06:16,680 very honest with me and said I think 3083 02:06:19,640 --> 02:06:18,630 this sounds like a great project he said 3084 02:06:22,370 --> 02:06:19,650 he said I think it's going to be a 3085 02:06:24,290 --> 02:06:22,380 classic but I just don't have the time 3086 02:06:26,120 --> 02:06:24,300 to do it at the moment and I just have 3087 02:06:26,570 --> 02:06:26,130 to kind of draw a line and say I can't 3088 02:06:28,550 --> 02:06:26,580 do it 3089 02:06:32,030 --> 02:06:28,560 so I respected that I thank him anyway 3090 02:06:34,970 --> 02:06:32,040 and the other one is a guy who is a very 3091 02:06:37,160 --> 02:06:34,980 big name and he he declined respectfully 3092 02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:37,170 and again very enthusiastic about about 3093 02:06:44,840 --> 02:06:43,170 the project but he he is he said he was 3094 02:06:48,260 --> 02:06:44,850 taking a step a huge step away from the 3095 02:06:51,680 --> 02:06:48,270 field and didn't didn't really want to 3096 02:06:52,910 --> 02:06:51,690 be I think out there at this point with 3097 02:06:55,370 --> 02:06:52,920 this kind of project I think he just 3098 02:06:55,910 --> 02:06:55,380 wanted to sort of go go into a stealth 3099 02:07:02,540 --> 02:06:55,920 mode 3100 02:07:04,100 --> 02:07:02,550 shall we say the mind wanders I I can 3101 02:07:06,650 --> 02:07:04,110 think of a number of people that would 3102 02:07:11,300 --> 02:07:06,660 fit into that particular description but 3103 02:07:13,520 --> 02:07:11,310 did you have in your mind a certain 3104 02:07:18,860 --> 02:07:13,530 variety of people or a certain variety 3105 02:07:21,470 --> 02:07:18,870 of opinion that you wanted to sort of 3106 02:07:23,780 --> 02:07:21,480 have on for well-rounded focus for the 3107 02:07:25,670 --> 02:07:23,790 book or did you just kind of go with 3108 02:07:27,590 --> 02:07:25,680 your intuition and say well this one 3109 02:07:30,830 --> 02:07:27,600 this one this one this one and just 3110 02:07:32,480 --> 02:07:30,840 allow them to come up with with it in 3111 02:07:37,070 --> 02:07:32,490 other words how much did you steer the 3112 02:07:40,130 --> 02:07:37,080 project oh well I mean yeah I stated 3113 02:07:42,800 --> 02:07:40,140 from the beginning it's it's it's oh 3114 02:07:44,810 --> 02:07:42,810 it's very much you know it's it's I've 3115 02:07:49,760 --> 02:07:44,820 worked on this every day literally every 3116 02:07:53,390 --> 02:07:49,770 day for the past year and so it's been 3117 02:07:56,360 --> 02:07:53,400 it's been hugely time-consuming and in 3118 02:07:58,340 --> 02:07:56,370 all of lights but but it's been less 3119 02:07:59,960 --> 02:07:58,350 stressful I would say than than the last 3120 02:08:02,390 --> 02:07:59,970 book I wrote because the last one was 3121 02:08:04,100 --> 02:08:02,400 you know I wrote all the content whereas 3122 02:08:05,810 --> 02:08:04,110 this is this is written this is written 3123 02:08:07,040 --> 02:08:05,820 by other people but this is still a huge 3124 02:08:08,900 --> 02:08:07,050 challenge in the sense that you're still 3125 02:08:13,460 --> 02:08:08,910 having to edit everyone's work you're 3126 02:08:16,220 --> 02:08:13,470 still having to you're still having some 3127 02:08:20,870 --> 02:08:16,230 people submitted stuff which ultimately 3128 02:08:23,480 --> 02:08:20,880 I had to decline for inclusion in the 3129 02:08:24,770 --> 02:08:23,490 book because it wasn't suitable and so 3130 02:08:26,720 --> 02:08:24,780 you have to make those decisions as well 3131 02:08:32,030 --> 02:08:26,730 and it's just constant correspond 3132 02:08:33,530 --> 02:08:32,040 every single day with with with up to 20 3133 02:08:35,870 --> 02:08:33,540 people and ultimately down to sort of 3134 02:08:37,700 --> 02:08:35,880 1415 people who contributed to the book 3135 02:08:40,580 --> 02:08:37,710 for it for a year so it's just been 3136 02:08:42,410 --> 02:08:40,590 hugely time-consuming deciding on how to 3137 02:08:45,950 --> 02:08:42,420 structure the book editing the 3138 02:08:48,530 --> 02:08:45,960 individual essays you know doing all of 3139 02:08:52,430 --> 02:08:48,540 the at all of the endnotes everything 3140 02:08:54,710 --> 02:08:52,440 it's been a yeah it's been a it's a big 3141 02:08:55,490 --> 02:08:54,720 prop project project yeah it's gonna be 3142 02:08:58,880 --> 02:08:55,500 process 3143 02:09:00,680 --> 02:08:58,890 but but yeah and then it's of how to 3144 02:09:02,180 --> 02:09:00,690 frame the whole thing and what I want to 3145 02:09:04,820 --> 02:09:02,190 achieve with it but you know Greg Bishop 3146 02:09:06,650 --> 02:09:04,830 played a huge role as well as basically 3147 02:09:08,150 --> 02:09:06,660 a sub editor on you know Greg was wanna 3148 02:09:10,940 --> 02:09:08,160 was one of the people who I had from 3149 02:09:13,430 --> 02:09:10,950 that--from towards the beginning and I 3150 02:09:16,040 --> 02:09:13,440 sort of bounced a lot of ideas off Greg 3151 02:09:19,700 --> 02:09:16,050 from the outset and Greg would make 3152 02:09:21,950 --> 02:09:19,710 recommendations and about certain 3153 02:09:23,270 --> 02:09:21,960 contributors as well you'll ask Greg you 3154 02:09:25,190 --> 02:09:23,280 know who would you recommend and things 3155 02:09:26,710 --> 02:09:25,200 like that and I had most of the 3156 02:09:29,420 --> 02:09:26,720 contributors in mind from the outset 3157 02:09:31,340 --> 02:09:29,430 anyone who are anyone whose work I would 3158 02:09:33,350 --> 02:09:31,350 see particularly who were even 3159 02:09:35,630 --> 02:09:33,360 commenting online in forums and things 3160 02:09:40,570 --> 02:09:35,640 like that who were expressing ideas that 3161 02:09:44,270 --> 02:09:40,580 were they were shall we say different 3162 02:09:45,979 --> 02:09:44,280 and articulate then I would have them in 3163 02:09:47,540 --> 02:09:45,989 mind and then I would sort of research 3164 02:09:49,460 --> 02:09:47,550 people and think well do I know enough 3165 02:09:50,660 --> 02:09:49,470 about you and because you also have to 3166 02:09:52,340 --> 02:09:50,670 make the decisions on whether you can 3167 02:09:55,010 --> 02:09:52,350 work with people as well it's not just 3168 02:09:57,590 --> 02:09:55,020 it's not just about whether their work 3169 02:09:59,720 --> 02:09:57,600 is great about whether or not you can 3170 02:10:02,840 --> 02:09:59,730 actually work with them and whether they

three questions that we asked for Robbie 3303 02:15:31,150 --> 02:15:26,990 now here's here's a couple for for you 3304 02:15:33,730 --> 02:15:31,160 Robert he's wondering if unresolved 3305 02:15:36,250 --> 02:15:33,740 human trauma could be the main source 3306 02:15:39,880 --> 02:15:36,260 for the UFO experience based on your 3307 02:15:43,150 --> 02:15:39,890 work extensive work with with trauma 3308 02:15:45,820 --> 02:15:43,160 victims and and in in the realm of the 3309 02:15:47,350 --> 02:15:45,830 traumatic experience you know it's a 3310 02:15:50,050 --> 02:15:47,360 theme that repeats like a number of 3311 02:15:52,330 --> 02:15:50,060 different essayists bring that concept 3312 02:15:54,700 --> 02:15:52,340 forward Rakowski does that Greg Bishop 3313 02:15:56,560 --> 02:15:54,710 does that I do that many people talk 3314 02:15:59,380 --> 02:15:56,570 about the nature of trauma McClellan 3315 02:16:01,420 --> 02:15:59,390 calls being an abductee is the trauma of 3316 02:16:03,640 --> 02:16:01,430 enlightenment which I've got you know my 3317 02:16:04,960 --> 02:16:03,650 own kind of thoughts about that concept 3318 02:16:07,450 --> 02:16:04,970 but I don't want to see it's the main 3319 02:16:10,090 --> 02:16:07,460 source but it there does seem to be some 3320 02:16:12,460 --> 02:16:10,100 correlation between those who experience 3321 02:16:14,080 --> 02:16:12,470 very unique phenomena especially these 3322 02:16:15,420 --> 02:16:14,090 close encounter cases and I cite you 3323 02:16:18,970 --> 02:16:15,430 know that the Dales fire Portage County 3324 02:16:21,040 --> 02:16:18,980 Ohio cases like a significant example of 3325 02:16:23,800 --> 02:16:21,050 an individual who was perhaps 3326 02:16:26,290 --> 02:16:23,810 deconstructing prior to the event and 3327 02:16:29,200 --> 02:16:26,300 that well the aftermath of the event 3328 02:16:30,760 --> 02:16:29,210 seems to bring a significant degree of 3329 02:16:33,010 --> 02:16:30,770 trauma to individuals who identify 3330 02:16:35,590 --> 02:16:33,020 within the territory of close encounter 3331 02:16:38,680 --> 02:16:35,600 cases or to find themselves as abductees 3332 02:16:40,570 --> 02:16:38,690 I would not say traumas the source but 3333 02:16:42,580 --> 02:16:40,580 it's the aftermath without question and 3334 02:16:44,470 --> 02:16:42,590 I do think there is a question that's 3335 02:16:46,720 --> 02:16:44,480 until we can actually define a good 3336 02:16:48,040 --> 02:16:46,730 cohort but it would not surprise me to 3337 02:16:50,020 --> 02:16:48,050 know that a great number of people who 3338 02:16:52,419 --> 02:16:50,030 experience these close encounter cases 3339 02:16:54,190 --> 02:16:52,429 are individuals who are also having 3340 02:16:56,530 --> 02:16:54,200 other deconstructions taking place in 3341 02:16:58,810 --> 02:16:56,540 their own life be they emotional trauma 3342 02:17:01,870 --> 02:16:58,820 family trauma abuse etc and Rakowski 3343 02:17:03,430 --> 02:17:01,880 hits upon that in his abduction at text 3344 02:17:05,680 --> 02:17:03,440 as well and I think it's an important 3345 02:17:07,419 --> 02:17:05,690 consideration that mental health does 3346 02:17:10,600 --> 02:17:07,429 play perhaps a role in some of these 3347 02:17:14,230 --> 02:17:10,610 experiences well having said that and I 3348 02:17:16,510 --> 02:17:14,240 totally agree that trauma is you know 3349 02:17:19,150 --> 02:17:16,520 one of the main sort of building blocks 3350 02:17:19,599 --> 02:17:19,160 emotionally for dealing with these types 3351 02:17:24,669 --> 02:17:19,609 of 3352 02:17:26,739 --> 02:17:24,679 experience that is accepted by the 3353 02:17:28,839 --> 02:17:26,749 experiencer as being totally positive 3354 02:17:29,709 --> 02:17:28,849 it's like they were given the mysteries 3355 02:17:31,809 --> 02:17:29,719 of the universe 3356 02:17:34,029 --> 02:17:31,819 they were told the future of humanity 3357 02:17:36,250 --> 02:17:34,039 all those new-age sort of benevolent 3358 02:17:38,669 --> 02:17:36,260 space brother-type images come to mind 3359 02:17:41,559 --> 02:17:38,679 that I'm trying to describe this person 3360 02:17:43,629 --> 02:17:41,569 inherently though because the experience 3361 02:17:46,179 --> 02:17:43,639 is so out of the norm wouldn't this on 3362 02:17:48,580 --> 02:17:46,189 some level be a traumatic experience and 3363 02:17:51,639 --> 02:17:48,590 how does that play into the positive 3364 02:17:53,619 --> 02:17:51,649 space brother scenario in terms of the 3365 02:17:55,869 --> 02:17:53,629 the individual actually experiencing 3366 02:17:57,549 --> 02:17:55,879 deep trauma am I on the right track 3367 02:17:59,409 --> 02:17:57,559 there yeah I think you're on it on a 3368 02:18:01,299 --> 02:17:59,419 good track there and I think it depends 3369 02:18:03,129 --> 02:18:01,309 also you know what what's the the viewer 3370 02:18:05,139 --> 02:18:03,139 the witness bringing to the dance at 3371 02:18:07,419 --> 02:18:05,149 that time it foots on the front end of 3372 02:18:09,309 --> 02:18:07,429 their youthful aaja Khalif system is one 3373 02:18:11,409 --> 02:18:09,319 that is just their life where they are 3374 02:18:12,879 --> 02:18:11,419 in their life is that's for sure and I 3375 02:18:14,469 --> 02:18:12,889 think you know Rakowski documents that 3376 02:18:16,269 --> 02:18:14,479 in a number of his texts where he goes 3377 02:18:18,459 --> 02:18:16,279 to visit witnesses have had profound 3378 02:18:19,929 --> 02:18:18,469 abductee and then claiming contact he 3379 02:18:21,339 --> 02:18:19,939 experiences and then he starts taking a 3380 02:18:22,899 --> 02:18:21,349 look around what are the books in the 3381 02:18:24,009 --> 02:18:22,909 room and what do you know this has been 3382 02:18:25,569 --> 02:18:24,019 the narrative these people have been 3383 02:18:27,939 --> 02:18:25,579 living for a very long time I don't 3384 02:18:29,439 --> 02:18:27,949 think we can deny that part that but 3385 02:18:32,259 --> 02:18:29,449 also you know we know whenever we've had 3386 02:18:34,599 --> 02:18:32,269 a very intense experience usually it 3387 02:18:36,879 --> 02:18:34,609 goes you know one of three ways either 3388 02:18:39,069 --> 02:18:36,889 you're totally traumatized by it or it 3389 02:18:40,689 --> 02:18:39,079 becomes a point of ecstasy or it doesn't 3390 02:18:41,679 --> 02:18:40,699 really move your integrate you or you 3391 02:18:43,719 --> 02:18:41,689 don't know what to do with it and so you 3392 02:18:46,089 --> 02:18:43,729 just file a lot away under let's forget 3393 02:18:48,729 --> 02:18:46,099 about that and it doesn't play a role in 3394 02:18:50,349 --> 02:18:48,739 your life anymore so I suspect it has a 3395 02:18:52,419 --> 02:18:50,359 lot to do with who that individual is at 3396 02:18:54,369 --> 02:18:52,429 the time of the experience that defines 3397 02:18:57,040 --> 02:18:54,379 how ecstatic or traumatic or forgotten 3398 02:19:00,159 --> 02:18:57,050 it might be you know in and again that 3399 02:19:01,449 --> 02:19:00,169 brings up another tried and true kind of 3400 02:19:03,250 --> 02:19:01,459 theme that we've had here at the pair 3401 02:19:05,409 --> 02:19:03,260 cast for a long time when it comes to 3402 02:19:08,080 --> 02:19:05,419 MUFON an actual on-site investigation 3403 02:19:10,449 --> 02:19:08,090 the types of subject a matter that we're 3404 02:19:13,179 --> 02:19:10,459 talking about is not addressed in any 3405 02:19:16,119 --> 02:19:13,189 way shape or form and any sort of you 3406 02:19:18,250 --> 02:19:16,129 know standardized MUFON model for an 3407 02:19:20,769 --> 02:19:18,260 investigation and as you know 3408 02:19:22,299 --> 02:19:20,779 ascertaining facts I mean I think it's 3409 02:19:24,909 --> 02:19:22,309 so important and you just brought up a 3410 02:19:28,299 --> 02:19:24,919 really important fact walking through an 3411 02:19:30,909 --> 02:19:28,309 experiencer or a witness's living room 3412 02:19:32,500 --> 02:19:30,919 and just happening to look at the what 3413 02:19:34,150 --> 02:19:32,510 kind of magazines they have 3414 02:19:37,179 --> 02:19:34,160 what kind of books they have in the 3415 02:19:41,110 --> 02:19:37,189 bookshelf this really is important 3416 02:19:44,410 --> 02:19:41,120 because each experiencer is a complete 3417 02:19:47,169 --> 02:19:44,420 sort of universe if you will in in it 3418 02:19:50,620 --> 02:19:47,179 has its own sort of front-loading main 3419 02:19:52,630 --> 02:19:50,630 autonomy and in that I think is going to 3420 02:19:54,730 --> 02:19:52,640 color any sort of unusual experience 3421 02:19:57,540 --> 02:19:54,740 that they have again we're getting back 3422 02:19:59,620 --> 02:19:57,550 into the whole realm of how do we 3423 02:20:01,780 --> 02:19:59,630 ascertain the quality of consciousness 3424 02:20:04,179 --> 02:20:01,790 and I think that's a real important 3425 02:20:06,550 --> 02:20:04,189 aspect to all this and how people 3426 02:20:08,349 --> 02:20:06,560 actually perceive their reality anybody 3427 02:20:09,639 --> 02:20:08,359 want to comment you know on some level I 3428 02:20:10,929 --> 02:20:09,649 think at the end of the day all we've 3429 02:20:12,849 --> 02:20:10,939 got is a collection of really unique 3430 02:20:15,460 --> 02:20:12,859 stories some of them very surreal and 3431 02:20:17,769 --> 02:20:15,470 absurdist in nature I wonder if the most 3432 02:20:19,780 --> 02:20:17,779 we can actually learn about the 3433 02:20:21,849 --> 02:20:19,790 experience is to talk to the witness 3434 02:20:23,050 --> 02:20:21,859 about who they were beforehand what was 3435 02:20:25,120 --> 02:20:23,060 happening in their life you know where 3436 02:20:27,190 --> 02:20:25,130 things going wrong things deconstructing 3437 02:20:29,559 --> 02:20:27,200 or was everything fine and normal and 3438 02:20:31,650 --> 02:20:29,569 and to spend more time with them after 3439 02:20:34,389 --> 02:20:31,660 the event and check in with them 3440 02:20:35,950 --> 02:20:34,399 continuously and really engages this 3441 02:20:37,570 --> 02:20:35,960 concept of witness studies that if we 3442 02:20:39,550 --> 02:20:37,580 think that there's something that is a 3443 02:20:41,610 --> 02:20:39,560 true external stimulus taking place then 3444 02:20:43,690 --> 02:20:41,620 wanting to study its impact on 3445 02:20:45,880 --> 02:20:43,700 individuals and trying to look for 3446 02:20:47,950 --> 02:20:45,890 patterns within that pool is at least 3447 02:20:49,420 --> 02:20:47,960 something that's more solid to work with 3448 02:20:50,800 --> 02:20:49,430 and I think the other part that when you 3449 02:20:52,809 --> 02:20:50,810 think about you know the very act of 3450 02:20:54,519 --> 02:20:52,819 seeing something absolutely surreal and 3451 02:20:55,929 --> 02:20:54,529 bizarre we have no idea what the nature 3452 02:20:57,790 --> 02:20:55,939 of brain chemistry is taking place 3453 02:20:59,740 --> 02:20:57,800 inside an individual's mind by leading 3454 02:21:01,870 --> 02:20:59,750 up to an extraordinary event or how the 3455 02:21:04,090 --> 02:21:01,880 amygdala might be firing and causing 3456 02:21:06,670 --> 02:21:04,100 different types of audio or visual 3457 02:21:08,260 --> 02:21:06,680 hallucinations these are common elements 3458 02:21:10,540 --> 02:21:08,270 within the human brain space and that's 3459 02:21:12,550 --> 02:21:10,550 where it becomes an extremely complex 3460 02:21:13,780 --> 02:21:12,560 event on one hand you'd like to take the 3461 02:21:15,519 --> 02:21:13,790 witness for granted and just say oh 3462 02:21:17,740 --> 02:21:15,529 that's what they saw but then on the 3463 02:21:19,660 --> 02:21:17,750 other you might want to recognize that 3464 02:21:21,639 --> 02:21:19,670 every witnesses event is their own 3465 02:21:23,260 --> 02:21:21,649 virtual reality experience that's taking 3466 02:21:24,580 --> 02:21:23,270 place inside their mind and the amount 3467 02:21:26,559 --> 02:21:24,590 of things that you know cultural 3468 02:21:29,469 --> 02:21:26,569 sociological psychological that inform 3469 02:21:31,630 --> 02:21:29,479 our everyday virtual reality that plays 3470 02:21:33,280 --> 02:21:31,640 out is enormous and when you throw 3471 02:21:35,260 --> 02:21:33,290 something like the UFO experience inside 3472 02:21:39,010 --> 02:21:35,270 of that that's a lot to tease apart I 3473 02:21:40,990 --> 02:21:39,020 think yeah what do you think Robby I 3474 02:21:42,010 --> 02:21:41,000 mean where do you come down you're gonna 3475 02:21:44,200 --> 02:21:42,020 have to repeat the question 3476 02:21:45,410 --> 02:21:44,210 question well basically what we're 3477 02:21:47,870 --> 02:21:45,420 talking about is 3478 02:21:50,600 --> 02:21:47,880 how to differentiate between spin and 3479 02:21:52,520 --> 02:21:50,610 the experience basically everybody is 3480 02:21:55,040 --> 02:21:52,530 coming to the table the only contact 3481 02:21:57,080 --> 02:21:55,050 every experience or every you know 3482 02:22:00,080 --> 02:21:57,090 sighting witness is coming to the table 3483 02:22:02,719 --> 02:22:00,090 with a complete unique set of front 3484 02:22:06,170 --> 02:22:02,729 loaded baggage and it's the interpretive 3485 02:22:08,270 --> 02:22:06,180 nature of that baggage through the 3486 02:22:10,760 --> 02:22:08,280 wonderful manifestation of a conscious 3487 02:22:13,790 --> 02:22:10,770 experience that's where we then get 3488 02:22:15,980 --> 02:22:13,800 people like myself or MUFON 3489 02:22:18,230 --> 02:22:15,990 investigators or other investigators who 3490 02:22:20,540 --> 02:22:18,240 go out and want to try to document what 3491 02:22:22,880 --> 02:22:20,550 it was that happened every one of the 3492 02:22:26,260 --> 02:22:22,890 witnesses is completely different from 3493 02:22:28,730 --> 02:22:26,270 the next one they all have certain basic 3494 02:22:30,380 --> 02:22:28,740 similarities in terms of a basic 3495 02:22:33,020 --> 02:22:30,390 cultural cognition that sort of thing 3496 02:22:35,840 --> 02:22:33,030 but everybody has their own spin on 3497 02:22:38,740 --> 02:22:35,850 stuff and so it's it's like trying to 3498 02:22:42,230 --> 02:22:38,750 ascertain facts in a Hall of Mirrors 3499 02:22:45,140 --> 02:22:42,240 looking through a kaleidoscope a lack of 3500 02:22:47,390 --> 02:22:45,150 a better interpretation or definition of 3501 02:22:50,540 --> 02:22:47,400 the process I mean that's that's what it 3502 02:22:54,050 --> 02:22:50,550 seems like sometimes to me looking at 3503 02:22:56,450 --> 02:22:54,060 the actual individual experience or you 3504 02:22:59,000 --> 02:22:56,460 know that witness that person that has 3505 02:23:01,730 --> 02:22:59,010 the experience you have to really get to 3506 02:23:03,950 --> 02:23:01,740 know that person and really understand 3507 02:23:07,070 --> 02:23:03,960 their baggage their front-loading and 3508 02:23:09,469 --> 02:23:07,080 all that stuff to even hope to begin to 3509 02:23:12,350 --> 02:23:09,479 come to some sort of you know possible 3510 02:23:14,420 --> 02:23:12,360 definitive conclusions upon which to 3511 02:23:16,490 --> 02:23:14,430 hang your hat you know in terms of what 3512 02:23:18,310 --> 02:23:16,500 they saw what they experienced it's 3513 02:23:21,469 --> 02:23:18,320 almost like you have to do a complete 3514 02:23:24,110 --> 02:23:21,479 individual breakdown of personality 3515 02:23:28,370 --> 02:23:24,120 character you know wants wishes desires 3516 02:23:32,120 --> 02:23:28,380 beliefs it's really a lot more 3517 02:23:35,450 --> 02:23:32,130 complicated then you know your standard 3518 02:23:37,310 --> 02:23:35,460 MUFON questionnaire well my response 3519 02:23:38,750 --> 02:23:37,320 would be the statement that you've just 3520 02:23:40,700 --> 02:23:38,760 given basic needs 3521 02:23:42,230 --> 02:23:40,710 you know I completely agree I completely 3522 02:23:45,350 --> 02:23:42,240 agree with what you just said with 3523 02:23:48,230 --> 02:23:45,360 Robert what Robert just said the the but 3524 02:23:53,060 --> 02:23:48,240 they I think is incredibly important to 3525 02:23:55,880 --> 02:23:53,070 to try and really study an individual 3526 02:23:57,469 --> 02:23:55,890 experience or an individual witness 3527 02:24:00,110 --> 02:23:57,479 I mean I think here we probably be 3528 02:24:02,899 --> 02:24:00,120 talking it'd be more valuable to study 3529 02:24:05,210 --> 02:24:02,909 close-up experiences of people who who 3530 02:24:07,880 --> 02:24:05,220 you might consider an experience or an 3531 02:24:10,519 --> 02:24:07,890 abductee because I think someone in the 3532 02:24:12,590 --> 02:24:10,529 book is it it may be like it may be Greg 3533 02:24:16,939 --> 02:24:12,600 or Robert who make a differentiation 3534 02:24:18,920 --> 02:24:16,949 between you know the the close-up 3535 02:24:23,210 --> 02:24:18,930 experience and you know in a typical 3536 02:24:25,700 --> 02:24:23,220 kind of not a you know a nocturnal light 3537 02:24:27,710 --> 02:24:25,710 experience like this guy right now

02:29:00,101 cast the gold standard of paranormal 3643 02:29:14,930 --> 02:29:12,350 so the connectivity issues of Skype 3644 02:29:18,050 --> 02:29:14,940 haven't been so bad Chris got knocked 3645 02:29:20,780 --> 02:29:18,060 off once but it wasn't somebody gunning 3646 02:29:23,840 --> 02:29:20,790 after him it was the powers that be at 3647 02:29:25,220 --> 02:29:23,850 Microsoft no I'm just I'm so tired of it 3648 02:29:28,700 --> 02:29:25,230 you know as soon as I get I start 3649 02:29:31,460 --> 02:29:28,710 rolling boom I'm off oh well you know 3650 02:29:32,810 --> 02:29:31,470 it's a girl you know we make in the in 3651 02:29:35,150 --> 02:29:32,820 the book you make the distinction 3652 02:29:37,280 --> 02:29:35,160 between these two different types of UFO 3653 02:29:39,500 --> 02:29:37,290 burn the clothes up in a distant being 3654 02:29:41,060 --> 02:29:39,510 completely different animals perhaps 3655 02:29:44,570 --> 02:29:41,070 representative of different kinds of 3656 02:29:46,550 --> 02:29:44,580 phenomena even very good point so so I 3657 02:29:48,440 --> 02:29:46,560 think that a detailed study of an 3658 02:29:51,710 --> 02:29:48,450 individual experience thereof a closer 3659 02:29:53,020 --> 02:29:51,720 event would be potentially extremely 3660 02:29:55,550 --> 02:29:53,030 valuable but as you've indicated 3661 02:29:57,650 --> 02:29:55,560 extremely time-consuming especially when 3662 02:30:00,020 --> 02:29:57,660 applied to hundreds thousands or even 3663 02:30:01,880 --> 02:30:00,030 millions of people every ever many years 3664 02:30:03,500 --> 02:30:01,890 and this reminds me of in a Robert 3665 02:30:05,810 --> 02:30:03,510 saying that we need a sociological study 3666 02:30:07,460 --> 02:30:05,820 you know an in-depth academic 3667 02:30:09,590 --> 02:30:07,470 sociological study and perhaps them can 3668 02:30:12,350 --> 02:30:09,600 be gleaned over over a number of years 3669 02:30:15,620 --> 02:30:12,360 perhaps indeed it could but to get 3670 02:30:18,261 --> 02:30:15,630 something like that in the works on that 3671 02:30:21,500 --> 02:30:18,271 kind of scale that kind of level would 3672 02:30:24,350 --> 02:30:21,510 require a legitimization of UFO study 3673 02:30:26,960 --> 02:30:24,360 which is just not on the horizon with 3674 02:30:28,761 --> 02:30:26,970 the field as it currently is and as it 3675 02:30:31,100 --> 02:30:28,771 has been for a long long time right 3676 02:30:33,980 --> 02:30:31,110 because we are believers remember folks 3677 02:30:37,160 --> 02:30:33,990 we are et believers sociology that needs 3678 02:30:39,440 --> 02:30:37,170 needs to take the plunge ultimately mmm 3679 02:30:41,000 --> 02:30:39,450 yeah yeah I think so one of the things 3680 02:30:42,560 --> 02:30:41,010 I'd add is you know Briggs says that the 3681 02:30:44,360 --> 02:30:42,570 close encounter experiences 3682 02:30:46,850 --> 02:30:44,370 information-rich that we should be 3683 02:30:49,220 --> 02:30:46,860 studying these ones very closely because 3684 02:30:50,420 --> 02:30:49,230 they are new human experiences which he 3685 02:30:51,800 --> 02:30:50,430 calls you know their their frame marks 3686 02:30:54,110 --> 02:30:51,810 without benchmarks you know these are 3687 02:30:55,490 --> 02:30:54,120 things that nobody's got an example of 3688 02:30:57,470 --> 02:30:55,500 this before in their life and I think 3689 02:30:59,330 --> 02:30:57,480 for me the cases that are interesting 3690 02:31:01,220 --> 02:30:59,340 then are cases where the person doesn't 3691 02:31:03,650 --> 02:31:01,230 go on to become a contact he afterward 3692 02:31:05,300 --> 02:31:03,660 or continue to have sighting after 3693 02:31:07,220 --> 02:31:05,310 sighting after sighting and I think the 3694 02:31:10,160 --> 02:31:07,230 other cases that are interesting are any 3695 02:31:11,930 --> 02:31:10,170 multi witness case where you can kind of 3696 02:31:14,420 --> 02:31:11,940 get at witnesses independently to 3697 02:31:16,430 --> 02:31:14,430 describe what they saw and and start to 3698 02:31:18,890 --> 02:31:16,440 take a look at you know some comparison 3699 02:31:20,630 --> 02:31:18,900 and contrasts about who are the people 3700 02:31:21,890 --> 02:31:20,640 doing the seeing and how does that work 3701 02:31:23,570 --> 02:31:21,900 up against what they saw 3702 02:31:25,220 --> 02:31:23,580 and maybe there's something to be 3703 02:31:26,570 --> 02:31:25,230 learned inside of those differentiations 3704 02:31:28,430 --> 02:31:26,580 because certainly in a lot of the multi 3705 02:31:30,110 --> 02:31:28,440 witness cases people do give different 3706 02:31:31,400 --> 02:31:30,120 you know testimonies in terms of what 3707 02:31:33,350 --> 02:31:31,410 they saw there's generally the same 3708 02:31:34,850 --> 02:31:33,360 thing there but as Donald Hoffman says 3709 02:31:36,051 --> 02:31:34,860 there's no such thing as a public object 3710 02:31:37,761 --> 02:31:36,061 everybody's gonna see something unique 3711 02:31:39,680 --> 02:31:37,771 and different on their own and certainly 3712 02:31:41,841 --> 02:31:39,690 in the case of something as heightened 3713 02:31:44,180 --> 02:31:41,851 as a UFO experience and it's a close 3714 02:31:45,831 --> 02:31:44,190 encounter sighting you're gonna see 3715 02:31:47,390 --> 02:31:45,841 something probably vastly different than 3716 02:31:51,020 --> 02:31:47,400 the person sitting right beside you 3717 02:31:53,240 --> 02:31:51,030 there's more skew yeah yep yeah 3718 02:31:55,011 --> 02:31:53,250 well we've always been skewed up here 3719 02:31:57,501 --> 02:31:55,021 I'll tell you all right 3720 02:31:58,850 --> 02:31:57,511 that's certainly endless I'm not 3721 02:32:02,900 --> 02:31:58,860 touching that one I guess 3722 02:32:05,030 --> 02:32:02,910 both the Robbie's aren't either hey Jane 3723 02:32:09,230 --> 02:32:05,040 you're sitting in the engineers driver's 3724 02:32:11,091 --> 02:32:09,240 seat just seems like every episode I get 3725 02:32:13,640 --> 02:32:11,101 cut off right right when I'm getting to 3726 02:32:16,190 --> 02:32:13,650 my point well you know what if I could 3727 02:32:19,280 --> 02:32:16,200 control Skype I do that I have a lot 3728 02:32:21,230 --> 02:32:19,290 more power than I really do to make this 3729 02:32:22,791 --> 02:32:21,240 happen I have to think that you're out 3730 02:32:24,950 --> 02:32:22,801 in the wilderness living in the middle 3731 02:32:27,350 --> 02:32:24,960 of nowhere and that

02:33:06,391 Greenfield yeah if I have considered 3749 02:33:10,761 --> 02:33:08,400 that there might be a volume too if 3750 02:33:14,001 --> 02:33:10,771 there is it won't be for another couple 3751 02:33:16,220 --> 02:33:14,011 years at this point but it's certainly 3752 02:33:18,171 --> 02:33:16,230 conceivable that there might be and 3753 02:33:20,060 --> 02:33:18,181 maybe even a volume three who knows but 3754 02:33:23,001 --> 02:33:20,070 if there is a volume two then Chris 3755 02:33:24,890 --> 02:33:23,011 consider yourself invited you and you 3756 02:33:27,410 --> 02:33:24,900 know this is several people have sort of 3757 02:33:28,910 --> 02:33:27,420 commented you know to me or they'd have 3758 02:33:31,700 --> 02:33:28,920 loved to have been involved in this and 3759 02:33:33,980 --> 02:33:31,710 stuff and I'd have loved to have had 3760 02:33:35,511 --> 02:33:33,990 more contributors I think 3761 02:33:37,820 --> 02:33:35,521 I think I just sort of cut it off a 3762 02:33:40,910 --> 02:33:37,830 certain point we ended up with a book 3763 02:33:43,551 --> 02:33:40,920 around 300 pages well exactly 300 pages 3764 02:33:46,370 --> 02:33:43,561 in fact and I think that's a pretty good 3765 02:33:48,860 --> 02:33:46,380 length for for something as dense as 3766 02:33:50,030 --> 02:33:48,870 this in terms of content it's it's it's 3767 02:33:55,730 --> 02:33:50,040 not an easy read 3768 02:33:57,500 --> 02:33:55,740 and certainly I'm I would expand I would 3769 02:33:59,421 --> 02:33:57,510 probably try to push in new areas in 3770 02:34:01,280 --> 02:33:59,431 volume too if there were volume to and 3771 02:34:04,761 --> 02:34:01,290 and yeah this I think there are enough 3772 02:34:08,000 --> 02:34:04,771 people on my radar now to fill a volume 3773 02:34:11,480 --> 02:34:08,010 two and a volume three with another 14 3774 02:34:14,421 --> 02:34:11,490 contributors apiece or more but I think 3775 02:34:17,240 --> 02:34:14,431 once we hit volume three again if if if 3776 02:34:18,640 --> 02:34:17,250 then I think we're probably exhausted 3777 02:34:20,600 --> 02:34:18,650 the amount of people who would be 3778 02:34:22,730 --> 02:34:20,610 appropriate for this kind of work 3779 02:34:26,720 --> 02:34:22,740 because I think there are very few 3780 02:34:28,430 --> 02:34:26,730 people sadly who I know maybe that maybe 3781 02:34:30,200 --> 02:34:28,440 maybe I'll be proven wrong maybe there 3782 02:34:33,051 --> 02:34:30,210 are what four more people out there who 3783 02:34:36,080 --> 02:34:33,061 are who are thinking along these lines 3784 02:34:40,131 --> 02:34:36,090 and who who have the ability to be able 3785 02:34:42,140 --> 02:34:40,141 to express this in in essay form and the 3786 02:34:43,520 --> 02:34:42,150 and the commitment to do it but the 3787 02:34:46,820 --> 02:34:43,530 combination of all of those things is 3788 02:34:49,461 --> 02:34:46,830 rare I think you'll notice ladies and 3789 02:34:54,680 --> 02:34:49,471 gentlemen I did not lie before myself I 3790 02:34:58,131 --> 02:34:54,690 can't do that okay I will not enter into 3791 02:34:59,680 --> 02:34:58,141 that at all okay so just realize when 3792 02:35:02,841 --> 02:34:59,690 was the last time you wrote anything 3793 02:35:05,091 --> 02:35:02,851 significant about UFOs gene outside of 3794 02:35:07,640 --> 02:35:05,101 your newsletter outside of my newsletter 3795 02:35:10,910 --> 02:35:07,650 when I was writing for caveat emptor 3796 02:35:15,011 --> 02:35:10,920 magazine I also wrote some articles for 3797 02:35:20,000 --> 02:35:15,021 some newsstand UFO magazines back in the 3798 02:35:22,940 --> 02:35:20,010 70s and 80s okay all right so but I'm 3799 02:35:27,470 --> 02:35:22,950 looking at an editorial I wrote about 3800 02:35:32,600 --> 02:35:27,480 the state of the UFO field in 1971 and I 3801 02:35:35,330 --> 02:35:32,610 could have written it yesterday I'm look 3802 02:35:36,171 --> 02:35:35,340 I read you the to your senses you ready 3803 02:35:43,011 --> 02:35:36,181 for this okay 3804 02:35:46,341 --> 02:35:43,021 believe me I believe you exactly exactly 3805 02:35:47,100 --> 02:35:46,351 and as the mystery deepens we find that 3806 02:35:49,320 --> 02:35:47,110 some of the 3807 02:35:51,810 --> 02:35:49,330 I'm talking about UFO researchers have 3808 02:35:54,301 --> 02:35:51,820 abandoned UFO investigation because of 3809 02:35:58,171 --> 02:35:54,311 disillusionment or frustration I also 3810 02:36:01,320 --> 02:35:58,181 said we have some strong ideas on the 3811 02:36:03,720 --> 02:36:01,330 subject and these same ideas cause us to 3812 02:36:07,171 --> 02:36:03,730 distrust many of the folks who purport 3813 02:36:09,511 --> 02:36:07,181 to be experts on UFOs little that the 3814 02:36:12,450 --> 02:36:09,521 so-called experts have done has 3815 02:36:14,970 --> 02:36:12,460 contributed one iota to the solution of 3816 02:36:18,091 --> 02:36:14,980 the UFO enigma that was written in the 3817 02:36:22,261 --> 02:36:18,101 spring of 1971 it could have been pulled 3818 02:36:24,240 --> 02:36:22,271 from an article yesterday right isn't 3819 02:36:25,740 --> 02:36:24,250 that incredible listen guys we're just 3820 02:36:28,051 --> 02:36:25,750 about to have time Robby Graham please 3821 02:36:30,060 --> 02:36:28,061 tell our listeners if
